It is the intention of the parties that every covenant, term and provision of this TSA shall be construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any party, it being understood and agreed that this TSA is the product of negotiation by the parties having the assistance of counsel and other advisors, and, therefore, the parties waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the benefit of any Applicable Law requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted. In the event of any conflict or alleged conflict between any Transition Service Schedule, on the one hand, and this TSA, on the other hand, the terms and conditions of this TSA shall prevail.

TRANSITION SERVICES
TRANSITION SERVICES
SECTION 2.01. Transition Services; Term.
(a) As requested, Tricadia and Tiptree (each a “Party” and together, the “Parties”) shall provide, or shall cause its respective Affiliates or third-party service providers to provide, the Transition Services (each such Party providing a Transition Service being referred to herein as a “Service Provider”) to the other Party or its Affiliates (each such Party, including their respective Affiliates who actually receive a Transition Service, being referred to herein as a “Service Recipient”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and on the
4 |
Transition Services Schedules. A detailed description of each Transition Service is set forth in the relevant Transition Service Schedule.
(b) Service Provider shall, or shall cause its Affiliates or third-party service providers to, provide, and each Service Recipient shall receive, each Transition Service for such period as is specified for such Transition Service in the relevant Transition Service Schedule (each such period, a “Term”). The Term for each Transition Service may be extended by mutual agreement of the Parties, to be reflected by amendment to the relevant Transition Service Schedule.
(c) In the event that either Party internally restructures, reorganizes or transfers a Service Recipient to an Affiliate or a third party which, following such transaction, is an Affiliate, Service Provider shall continue to provide, or cause the provision of, the Transition Services to each Service Recipient to the extent provided prior to such restructuring, reorganization or transfer, but only insofar as each Service Recipient continues to conduct its business.
(d) Except as otherwise provided herein, Service Provider shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to (without Service Recipient’s prior written consent), cease providing or suspend the provision of any Transition Service during the Term for such Transition Service, including during the period of any good faith dispute between the parties.
SECTION 2.02. Nature and Quality of Transition Services. Service Provider shall cause its Affiliates to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause third-party service providers to, provide the Transition Services in a timely and workmanlike manner consistent with past practice; provided, that Service Provider shall not be liable under this TSA (i) for failing to provide or make available a Transition Service as set forth herein if such failure was the result of personnel of Service Provider performing or failing to perform such Transition Service in accordance with instructions relating to such Transition Service provided by the Service Recipient or (ii) for any action taken, or omission to act, by a representative of Service Recipient or any of their respective Affiliates. Other than as expressly agreed on the applicable Transition Service Schedule, any determination as to which of Service Provider or its Affiliates shall provide a Transition Service, as well as which employee(s) shall provide such Transition Service, shall be made by the Service Provider in its sole discretion. Service Provider will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that each Transition Service is performed by its personnel, or the personnel of its Affiliates, to the extent that such Transition Service was performed by Service Provider personnel, or the personnel of Service Provider’s Affiliates, prior to the Effective Date. Service Provider shall, or shall cause its Affiliates and use reasonable best efforts to cause third-party service providers to, provide the Transition Services in the same manner, scope, nature, frequency, functionality and quality (including the level of care exercised in the performance) as the manner in which such Transition Services were provided to the Service Recipient immediately prior to the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the applicable Transition Service Schedule and except for such variations in manner, scope, nature, frequency or functionality as are reasonably warranted in the context of changes to the business of Service Recipient and its Affiliates after the Effective Date. The Transition Services shall be
5 |
used by the Service Recipient for substantially the same purposes and in substantially the same manner (including as to volume, amount, level or frequency, as applicable) as the Transition Services were used immediately prior to the date hereof. In addition to any other rights or remedies to which Service Recipient may be entitled, if Service Provider fails to provide, or to cause to be provided, any Transition Service in accordance with the terms of this TSA, Service Provider shall, as promptly as reasonably practical, correct in all material respects such error or defect or re-perform in all material respects such Transition Service at the request of Service Recipient (and at the expense of Service Provider).
SECTION 2.03. Policies and Procedures. Each Transition Service will be provided by a Service Provider in accordance with such Service Provider’s policies and procedures in effect on the date hereof, as may be amended from time to time, and with those policies and procedures established by other Persons that are applicable to such Service Provider and/or the premises where such Transition Service is performed (each a “Service Provider Policy”); provided, however, that a copy of each Service Provider Policy, to the extent written, shall be provided to Service Recipient; provided further, however, that in no event shall any Service Provider Policy modify or alter any Transition Service in a manner that would be inconsistent with the obligations of the Service Provider set forth in Section 2.02. If the Service Recipient acts in a manner that is inconsistent with a Service Provider Policy applicable to it, the Service Provider shall so inform the Service Recipient and the Service Recipient shall then conform to the requirements of such Service Provider Policy to the extent commercially reasonable.
SECTION 2.04. Cooperation and Information.
(a) During the Term, the Service Recipient shall provide the Service Provider with all information available to the Service Recipient and reasonably requested by the Service Provider as necessary or desirable for the performance of the relevant Transition Services. Service Provider shall not be deemed to be in breach of its obligation to provide, or cause the provision of, any Transition Service to the extent that the Service Recipient has not provided information that is reasonably necessary for the performance of such Transition Service. Service Recipient shall provide to the Service Provider reasonable access to the Service Recipient’s premises to the extent reasonably necessary for the purpose of providing the Transition Services.
(b) Service Provider shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and use reasonable best efforts to cause third-party service providers to, (i) reasonably cooperate with each Service Recipient in all matters relating to the provision of the Transition Services and (ii) not engage in any willful or intentional misconduct, gross negligence, common law fraud or otherwise willfully or intentionally violate any Applicable Law in connection with the provisions of a Transition Service. Such cooperation shall include (1) the execution and delivery of such further instruments or documents as may be reasonably requested by Service Recipient to enable the full performance of the Transition Services provided hereunder and (2) notifying Service Recipient in advance of any changes to Service Provider’s operating environment or personnel (including changes with respect to employee status) to the extent material to the provision of services
6 |
hereunder and working with the applicable Service Recipient to minimize the effect of such changes.
SECTION 2.05. Intellectual Property and Software Licenses.
(a) If the receipt or provision of any Transition Service hereunder requires the use by Service Provider, one of its Affiliates or any third-party service provider of the Intellectual Property, technology or data of Service Recipient or one of its Affiliates, or vice versa, then the Party that needs to use such Intellectual Property, technology or data shall have the nonexclusive, irrevocable (except as provided in this Section 2.05), royalty-free, non-sublicensable (except as and to the extent required for the provision or receipt of such Transition Service) right and license to use such Intellectual Property, technology or data during the Term for the sole purpose of, and only to the extent necessary for, the receipt or provision of such Transition Service hereunder.
(b) Upon the expiration of the Term, or the earlier termination of any Transition Service in accordance with Section 7.02, (i) the license to the relevant Intellectual Property granted under this Section 2.05 will terminate, and (ii) Service Recipient and/or Service Provider shall (1) cease all use of the Intellectual Property licensed under this Section 2.05 and (2) subject to Applicable Law and the requirements of any Governmental Entity, return all confidential or proprietary information exchanged in connection with such license, or certify the destruction of the same. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in Article V, any information in non-tangible form that is retained in the memories of any persons employed by a Party as of the termination of any Transition Service, or this Agreement, as the case may be, may be used by such Party and its Affiliates on a non-exclusive basis solely in connection with their respective businesses.
(c) Except as set forth in this Section 2.05, each Party grants no rights to its Intellectual Property to the other Party; provided, however, that all data created in connection with the provision of a Transition Service and on behalf of the Service Recipient shall be owned by the Service Recipient and shall constitute its confidential information.
(d) If a Service Provider and a Service Recipient collaborate to create any Intellectual Property (i) that is derived from or based upon a Party’s Intellectual Property, such Intellectual Property shall be owned by the Party upon whose Intellectual Property it is based and the other Party hereby agrees to assign and hereby assigns any rights, title or interests that it may have therein to such Party, and (ii) that is not derived from or based upon a Party’s Intellectual Property, the Parties shall agree in writing (before such creation to the extent feasible) which Party shall own such Intellectual Property, and the other Party’s rights therein.
(e) Each Party shall cause their respective Affiliates and third-party service providers to comply with their respective obligations under all applicable data protection and privacy laws.
7 |
SECTION 2.06. Insurance. With respect to the provision of Transition Services under this TSA, Service Provider shall maintain such insurance coverage and in such amounts covering itself and its Affiliates as is commercially reasonable. Upon the reasonable request of Service Recipient, Service Provider shall provide Service Recipient with such information as it shall reasonably request relating to any insurance coverage relevant to a Transition Service provided under this TSA.
SECTION 2.07. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. Service Provider will at all times throughout the Term have in place a BCDR Plan that is at least as comprehensive in scope and detail as the BCDR Plan of Service Provider in effect on the date hereof. In the event that Service Provider invokes its BCDR Plan, it will notify Service Recipient as soon as reasonably practicable following such invocation and will maintain communication with Service Recipient.
SECTION 2.08. Third-Party Service Providers. Service Provider shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts to (i) obtain any necessary consent from any third-party service provider in order to provide any Transition Service or (ii) if any such consent is not obtained, provide acceptable alternative arrangements to provide such Transition Service sufficient for the purposes of Service Recipient. Where Transition Services are provided by Service Provider or its Affiliates, through third-party service providers or through the use of Third Party Materials, Service Provider shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the applicable third-party service provider complies with its obligations under its agreement with Service Provider or its Affiliate, (ii) enforce the terms of its agreement with the applicable third-party service provider as necessary and in accordance with Service Recipient’s reasonable instructions to enable Service Recipient to receive the benefit of any rights contained therein and (iii) comply with any obligations placed on Service Provider or its Affiliates pursuant to such agreement.
ARTICLE III
COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES
COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES
SECTION 3.01. Fees and Actual Costs. As compensation for each Transition Service to be provided to Service Recipient pursuant hereto, Service Recipient shall pay Service Provider an amount calculated as specified on each applicable Transition Service Schedule and as approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Tiptree, as such amount may be adjusted pursuant thereto, and such amount shall be on terms and conditions that the Parties believe are no less favorable to Service Recipient or Service Provider than would be obtained in a similar transaction with an unrelated party under the same or similar circumstances (each such amount, a “Transition Service Fee” and collectively, the “Transition Service Fees”).
SECTION 3.02. Third Party Charges. Service Recipient shall be responsible for, and shall pay or reimburse Service Provider for, any actual third party costs, fees, levies or charges that a Service Provider may incur in connection with the provision of the relevant Transition Service (without duplication of any fees set forth on a Transition Service Schedule and taking into account any applicable discounts or rebates available to the Service Provider),
8 |
including charges from vendors, suppliers, carriers and contractors, without (a) any markup or administrative fees or expenses of the Service Provider or (b) any profit component for the Service Provider.
SECTION 3.03. Payments of Fees. Any payments pursuant to this TSA shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than fifteen (15) calendar days after the date of receipt by Service Recipient of an invoice from Service Provider. To the extent the Parties are providing Transition Services to one another, the Parties may net their respective invoices and pay the difference. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if any part of the Transition Services is provided by an Affiliate or third-party service provider of Service Provider, the charges payable in respect of such Transition Services shall be invoiced by Service Provider to Service Recipient and payable by Service Recipient to Service Provider and (ii) Service Recipient shall not receive any invoices directly from, or be obligated to pay any fees or charges directly to, any Affiliate or third-party service provider of Service Provider.
SECTION 3.04. Invoices; Documentation. Service Provider shall invoice Service Recipient promptly after the end of each calendar quarter for all charges for all Transition Services provided to Service Recipient and its Affiliates in the preceding calendar quarter pursuant to this TSA. From time to time on written request by Service Recipient in respect of a Transition Service, Service Provider shall provide to Service Recipient such information in Service Provider’s possession with respect to such invoices as Service Recipient may reasonably request for the purpose of supporting the fees represented by such invoices and Service Provider shall make its personnel available to answer such questions as Service Recipient may reasonably ask for such purpose.
SECTION 3.05. Disputes. Service Recipient may dispute any or all charges for sixty (60) days after the receipt of the applicable invoice for the applicable Transition Service. If Service Recipient disputes any charges, Service Recipient and Service Provider shall work together in good faith to resolve such dispute during the thirty (30) day period after Service Recipient provides Service Provider with notice of such dispute and then in accordance with Sections 8.09 and 8.10. If the resolution of such a dispute is that one Party owes an amount of money to the other Party, the Parties shall mutually agree to either have (i) such amount be due and payable immediately upon resolution or (ii) if applicable, deduct the amount owed from the next invoice; provided, that if no further invoices are due, the Party with the outstanding balance shall pay such amount to the other Party immediately upon resolution of the dispute. A failure by one Party to dispute a charge within sixty (60) days after receipt of an invoice shall not waive such Party’s inspection and audit rights under Section 4.05. The existence of a dispute shall not excuse either Party from any other obligation under this TSA, including Service Provider’s obligations to continue to provide, or cause to be provided, the Transition Services obligated by Service Provider hereunder.
SECTION 3.06. Taxes. The fees and charges payable by Service Recipient under this TSA and set forth on the Transition Service Schedules shall be exclusive of any taxes which may be imposed by any Governmental Entity in connection with the purchase or delivery of the Transition Services (“Sales Taxes”). Any such Sales Taxes shall be separately stated on the
9 |
relevant invoice to Service Recipient. All taxable goods and services for which Service Recipient is compensating or reimbursing Service Provider hereunder shall be set out separately from non-taxable goods and services, if practicable. Service Recipient shall be responsible for any such Sales Taxes and shall either (i) remit such Sales Taxes to Service Provider (and Service Provider shall remit such amounts to the applicable Governmental Entity) or (ii) provide Service Provider with a certificate or other acceptable proof evidencing an exemption from liability for such Sales Taxes. In the event Service Provider fails timely to invoice Sales Taxes on taxable goods or services covered by this TSA, Service Provider shall notify Service Recipient in a timely manner and Service Recipient shall remit such Sales Taxes to Service Provider; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the definition of “Sales Taxes” as used herein, Service Recipient shall not be responsible for the payment of any additions to such Sales Taxes, including penalties and interest imposed due to a failure by Service Provider to remit or cause to be remitted such Sales Taxes in a timely manner to the appropriate Governmental Entity.
ARTICLE IV
ACCESS AND SECURITY
SECTION 4.01. Security Level; Additional Security Measures. Service Provider shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to cause any third-party service provider to, maintain their current level of physical and electronic security during the Term (including data security and data privacy).
SECTION 4.02. Security Breaches. In the event of a security breach that relates to the Transition Services, Service Provider shall, shall cause its Affiliates to and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any third-party service provider to, cooperate with Service Recipient regarding the timing and manner of (i) any notification to clients, customers, potential customers, employees and/or agents of Service Recipient concerning a breach or potential breach of security and (ii) disclosures to appropriate Governmental Entities.
SECTION 4.03. Systems Security.
(a) If any Service Provider, or its personnel, will be given access to any Service Recipient’s computer systems or software (“Systems”) in connection with the performance of the Transition Services, Service Provider shall, shall cause its Affiliates to and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any third-party service provider to comply with all of such Service Recipient’s written system security policies, procedures and requirements (as amended from time to time, the “Security Regulations”), and will not tamper with, compromise or circumvent any security or audit measures employed by such Service Recipient.
(b) Service Provider shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and third-party service providers to, use its reasonable commercial efforts (i) to ensure that only those of its personnel who are specifically authorized to have access to the Systems of a Service Recipient gain such access and use such access only to the extent needed to provide a Transition Service, and (ii) to prevent unauthorized access, use, destruction, alteration or loss of information contained therein.
10 |
Service Provider will notify Service Recipient immediately upon becoming aware of any violations by any of its personnel of this Section 4.03(b).
(c) Service Recipient shall have the right to deny the personnel of Service Provider access to its Systems, after prior written notice, in the event the Service Recipient reasonably believes that such personnel pose a security concern.
(d) All user identification numbers and passwords of Service Recipient disclosed to Service Provider, and any information obtained from the use of the Systems, shall be deemed confidential information of Service Recipient subject to Section 5.01.
(e) Service Provider will, will cause its Affiliates to and will use reasonable best efforts to cause any third-party service provider to, cooperate with Service Recipient in investigating any apparent unauthorized access of Service Recipient’s Systems or any apparent unauthorized release by Service Provider, its Affiliates or their respective third-party service providers of information of Service Recipient or its Affiliates that is deemed to be confidential under Section 5.01. If Service Provider has revoked access to its own systems to any of its personnel that also have access to Service Recipient’s Systems then it will immediately revoke the access of such personnel to Service Recipient’s Systems.
SECTION 4.04. Information Security. Service Provider shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and third-party service providers to, provide information, data back-up procedures, and information security commensurate with that applicable to its own confidential information to ensure that any confidential information running through its Systems provided by or for a Service Recipient is not lost, stolen, modified, disclosed to or accessed by any other party (other than those permitted parties under Article IV of this TSA) without the Service Recipient’s prior written approval. Service Provider will promptly notify Service Recipient upon becoming aware of (i) any unauthorized possession or use, or knowledge of an attempt thereof, of the data-processing files, transmission messages, or other confidential information of a Service Recipient by any person or entity t, (ii) the effect of such, and (iii) the corrective action taken in response thereto.
SECTION 4.05. Records; Inspection and Audit Rights.
(a) As required by Applicable Law, Service Provider shall maintain in an appropriate facility and format all existing data and records relating to the Businesses of Service Recipient and its Affiliates in whatever form in its possession, including copies and back-up versions thereof (the “Historical Records”), for such periods required by Applicable Law. During the Term and for five years thereafter, Service Provider agrees to maintain accurate records arising from or related to any Transition Service provided hereunder, including emails, data and documents, accounting records and documentation produced in connection with the provision of any Transition Service and including copies and back-up versions thereof (the “Service Records”, and together with the Historical Records, the “Records”); provided, that Service Provider shall maintain the Service Records for any longer duration required by Applicable Law and of which Service Provider has reasonable prior notice.
11 |

recovers from, such third-party service provider in connection with the act or omission giving rise to such claim and (ii) obligated to pursue any and all commercially reasonable remedies, contractual or otherwise, it may have against such third-party service provider in connection with the act or omission giving rise to such claim.
SECTION 6.04. Procedure. In connection with any claim for indemnification under this Article VI, the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) and the party liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall follow the indemnification procedures set forth in Sections 6.04(a) – (d) below:
(a) The Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article VI, including any pending or threatened claim or demand by a third party that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or demand; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.
(b) Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 6.04(a) in respect of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered promptly following the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim, assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim, with its own counsel and at its own expense, so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party gives written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that, to the extent it is determined in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI that the Indemnifying Party is responsible for such Losses, the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any and all Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer, subject to the limitations contained in this Article VI, resulting from, arising out of, or relating to the Third Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have adequate financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder; (iii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party; (iv) the Indemnified Party has not been advised by counsel in writing that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim; and (v) the Third Party Claim does not relate to or otherwise arise in connection with any criminal or regulatory enforcement action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the Indemnifying Party’s assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. The Indemnified Party may take any actions reasonably necessary to defend a Third Party Claim prior to the time that it receives a notice from the Indemnifying Party as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay any reasonable out of pocket fees and expenses incurred by the
14 |
Indemnified Party in the defense of such Third Party Claim prior to the Indemnifying Party's assumption of the defense of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and Representatives to, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim.
(c) The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to a settlement, compromise or discharge of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, unless such settlement, compromise, discharge or entry of any judgment (i) provides for the payment by the Indemnifying Party of money as the sole relief for the claimant, (ii) does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Applicable Law or admission of any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, (iii) the Indemnifying Party pays or causes to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement or judgment (unless otherwise provided in such judgment), (iv) does not encumber any of the assets of any Indemnified Party or result in any restriction or condition that would apply to any Indemnified Party or the conduct of any Indemnified Party's business and (v) includes a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any and all liabilities in respect of such Third Party Claim. Except as set forth in Section 6.04(d) below, the Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any claim or demand for which it is seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Party or admit to any liability with respect to such claim or demand without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.
(d) If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver to the Indemnified Party the notice contemplated by Section 6.04(b) within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 6.04(a), or otherwise at any time fails to conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim in a good faith and reasonable manner, the Indemnified Party may defend the Third Party Claim in a good faith and reasonable manner, and may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith). In the event that the Indemnified Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 6.04(d), the Indemnifying Party will (i) advance the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and (ii) remain responsible for any and all other Losses that the Indemnified Party may incur or suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in Section 6.02 or Section 6.03, as applicable.
SECTION 6.05. Insurance. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Losses shall be net of any insurance recoveries actually received by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates.
