(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lilly shall use reasonable efforts to provide, or cause a member of the Lilly Group to provide, to Company and the applicable members of the Company Group (i) the services identified in Exhibit A, as such Exhibit A may from time to time be supplemented or modified in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and (ii) all services historically attendant to the provision of such identified services in (i) to the Animal Health Business by Lilly in the ordinary course in the twelve (12) months preceding the Effective Date ((i) and (ii) the “Lilly Scheduled Services”), along with the BAU Services, Program Services (if approved in accordance with Section 2.5) and In-Flight Projects (identified in Exhibit D) (such BAU Services, Program Services and In-Flight Projects collectively with the Lilly Scheduled Services, the “Lilly Services”). It is understood that the Lilly Services do not include, and Lilly will not be obligated hereunder to perform or provide to Company or any members of the Company Group, any services not described herein or expressly set forth in Exhibit A, including, but not limited to, those services set forth in Exhibit B (the “Lilly Excluded Services”).

The provision to Lilly or any member of the Lilly Group of any such services shall be discontinued on the Effective Date.
(c) The Service Recipient may, during the five (5) month period following the Effective Date, request that the Service Provider provide any service (excluding Program Services, requests for which shall be governed by Section 2.5) that: (i) is not a Scheduled Service set forth in Exhibit A or Exhibit C (as applicable) or an In-Flight Project in Exhibit D;

If the Service Provider does approve any such request, the Parties shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, negotiate in good faith with respect to the scope and duration of such Omitted Service and any other terms as reasonably required, and upon reaching agreement in that negotiation, the Parties shall amend Exhibit A, Exhibit C or Exhibit D to include the Omitted Service and the Omitted Service shall be deemed included in the definition of Lilly Services or Company Services, as applicable, from and after the date of such amendment. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Parties, the Service Fees for any Omitted Services shall be in accordance with the pricing principle set forth in Section 5.1.
SECTION 2.2 Standard and Manner of Performance.
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein or set forth on Exhibit A, Exhibit C or Exhibit D, the Service Provider shall use reasonable efforts to provide: (i) the Services in accordance with applicable Law, at standards of performance and with the degree of care and skill substantially consistent with the standards of performance and degree of care and skill used to provide the Services to the Animal Health Business or the Retained Business, as applicable, in the twelve (12) months preceding the Effective Date; and (ii) the Program Services in accordance with applicable Law, at standards of performance and with a degree of care and skill substantially consistent with the standards of performance and degree of care and skill used to provide similar services to the Retained Business in the twelve (12) months preceding the Effective Date.
(b) The Service Provider shall have the right to perform its obligations under this Agreement through one or more of its Subsidiaries, and each of the foregoing may hire third party service providers to perform any of the Service Provider’s obligations hereunder, including to provide all or part of any Service hereunder; provided, however, that the Service Provider shall in all cases retain responsibility for the provision to the Service Recipient of the Services in accordance with this Agreement.
(c) As between the Parties, except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, the Service Provider shall have sole discretion and authority with respect to designating, employing, assigning, compensating and discharging personnel and third party service providers in connection with performance of the Services. All such personnel and third party service providers so assigned to perform the Services shall be appropriately skilled and qualified to do so as reasonably determined by the Service Provider.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to the Service Provider’s obligations to provide Services under this Agreement, the Service Provider shall not be required to expand or modify any facilities, incur any capital expenditures, acquire any additional equipment or software, or retain any specific personnel or third party service providers in connection with its obligation to provide Services hereunder.
SECTION 2.3 In-Flight Projects. Company shall, and shall procure that its Subsidiaries shall, participate in the projects set forth in Exhibit D (the “In-Flight Projects”). Company shall pay Lilly a proportionate share of the Costs incurred by the Lilly Group in implementing the In-Flight Projects, as set forth in Exhibit D (the “In-Flight Project Costs”) in accordance with Section 5.1.
SECTION 2.4 Business As Usual Services. As set forth in Section 2.1(a), Lilly or a member of the Lilly Group shall, as part of the provision of the Lilly Services, provide the services ordinarily carried out by the Lilly Group as business as usual activities and such other measures undertaken by the Lilly Group that are implemented across a material proportion of the Retained Business for the benefit of the Lilly Group and which are required to be provided in connection with the provision of the Lilly Services (the “BAU Services”). Company shall pay Xxxxx XXX Service Costs in accordance with Section 5.1.
SECTION 2.5 Program Services. To the extent that Company desires to receive (or desires that a member of the Company Group receive) a Program Service, it shall submit a written request to Lilly for the provision of such Program Service in the form set forth in Exhibit F. Any such Program Service shall only be provided upon written consent of Lilly and shall be charged as a Program Charge in accordance with Exhibit E or as otherwise agreed upon by the Parties. Company shall pay Lilly Program Charges in accordance with Section 5.1.
SECTION 2.6 Protection of Lilly Information.
(a) In providing Lilly Services to the Company Group, Lilly or the applicable member of the Lilly Group shall have the right to implement reasonable services, processes and business activities under which there will be no greater material risk or disruption to the relevant Service Provider than would exist in the absence of the provision of such Lilly Services.
(b) If, in connection with the provision of any Lilly Service under this Agreement, Lilly or the applicable member of the Lilly Group needs to implement any modifications or enhancements, including information technology connections, firewalls or the like (“Lilly Service Additions”) prior to the provision of any such Lilly Service and specifically in connection with the provision of any such Lilly Service and that would otherwise not need to be implemented in the absence of the provision of such Lilly Service, Lilly shall provide the Company with written notice of such Lilly Service Addition and the Costs of such implementation ninety (90) calendar days prior to the implementation of such Lilly Service Addition. The Company shall have thirty (30) calendar days from the date of receipt of such notice to provide Lilly with written confirmation as to whether it desires for such Lilly Service Addition to be implemented. If the Company does not timely provide such confirmation or otherwise confirms that it does not desire such Lilly Service Addition to be implemented, Lilly shall not implement such Lilly Service Addition and shall thereafter have no obligation to provide the relevant Lilly Service under this Agreement. If the Company does timely provide such confirmation that it desires such Lilly Service Addition to be implemented, the Costs of implementing such measures shall be borne by Company and incorporated into the relevant Service Fee.
SECTION 2.7 Governance. Each Party shall designate: (a) a local representative with overall responsibility for managing day-to-day service and dealing with operational matters at a local level with respect to each of the local jurisdictions in which Services shall be provided (each, a “Local Service Lead”); (b) global function leads for each functional category of Services (each, a “Global Function Lead”); and (c) one (1) individual to be the primary liaison between the Parties for the provision of and the transfer of responsibility for the Services (each, a “TSA Manager”). A Party may replace any of its Local Service Leads, Global Function Leads or TSA Manager at any time upon written notice to the other Party. The Parties agree that any issues arising under this Agreement (including in relation to a particular Service) will be raised first between the Local Service Leads responsible for the local jurisdiction of the relevant Service and then to the Global Function Leads responsible for the relevant Service function before being referred to the TSA Managers. All of the Local Service Leads and Global Function Leads, under the direction of the TSA Managers, shall meet regularly in person, telephonically, or as they otherwise agree, at regular intervals agreed by the TSA Managers during the Term, to discuss any issues arising under this Agreement that have not been resolved by the Local Service Leads and Global Function Leads and the need for any modifications or additions to this Agreement. Each Party shall designate a senior executive to supervise the activity of the relevant TSA Managers (the “TSA Executive”). The TSA Executives shall meet at least quarterly during the Term in person, telephonically or as they otherwise agree, to review delivery of Services and resolve disputes (in accordance with Article IX) and perform such other activities as the TSA Executives may agree.
SECTION 2.8 Service Changes.
(a) Subject to Section 2.8(b) and Section 2.8(c) (as applicable), the Service Provider shall be required to provide the Services only for the benefit of the Service Recipient, and if any Service was provided by the Service Provider to the Animal Health Business or the Retained Business, as applicable, only of the same scope, and only for the same volume of Services (plus any organic internal growth in such volume that is reasonably expected as of the Effective Date), and only to the same locations, that such Services were provided by the Service Provider to the Animal Health Business or the Retained Business, as applicable, in the ordinary course as of the Effective Date.
(b) To the extent that Service Recipient desires a change to the scope or volume of a Scheduled Service from the scope or volume at which such Scheduled Service was provided by the Service Provider to the Animal Health Business or the Retained Business, as applicable, in the ordinary course as of the Effective Date (a “Service Change”), it shall submit such a written request for such Service Change to the Service Provider in the form set forth in Exhibit F. Any Service Change shall only be implemented upon written consent of the Service Provider, to be granted in its sole discretion; such consent will include, if applicable, a good faith agreement in writing by both Parties of the increase or decrease in Service Fees as a result of such Service Change. All Costs incurred by Service Provider (other than those already included in any changed Service Fees) in providing such changed scope or volume of Scheduled Services shall be borne by the Service Recipient.
(c) To the extent that Service Recipient desires to change the location to which: (i) any Scheduled Service is provided from the location to which such Scheduled Service
was provided by the Service Provider to the Animal Health Business or the Retained Business, as applicable, in the ordinary course as of the Effective Date; or (ii) any In-Flight Project, BAU Service or Program Service is initially provided (each of (i) and (ii) an “Approved Service Change”), it shall submit written notice of such Approved Service Change to Service Provider, and the Parties will work together in good faith to implement such Approved Service Change, including agreeing in good faith in writing as to the increase or decrease in Service Fees as a result of such Approved Service Change. All Costs incurred by Service Provider (other than those already included in any changed Service Fees) in providing such relocation of Services shall be borne by the Service Recipient.
(d) To the extent that the Service Recipient believes in good faith that a change to the term or scope of a Service or the relocation of a Service is required to remain in compliance with applicable Law (a “Compliance Service Change”), it shall submit a written request for such Compliance Service Change to the Service Provider in the form set forth in Exhibit F. If the Service Provider agrees that such Compliance Service Change is so required, the Parties will work together in good faith to implement such Compliance Service Change, including agreeing in good faith in writing as to the increase or decrease in Service Fees as a result of such Compliance Service Change. If the Service Provider does not agree that such Compliance Service Change is so required and the Service Recipient still desires such Compliance Service Change, the Service Recipient shall provide the Service Provider with a good faith written opinion from a relevant subject matter expert which confirms that such Compliance Service Change is so required. After the Service Provider has had opportunity to review such opinion and engage, as necessary, with the subject matter expert, such Compliance Service Change shall only be implemented upon written consent of the Service Provider, to be granted in its sole discretion; such consent will include, if applicable, a good faith agreement in writing by both Parties of the increase or decrease in Service Fees as a result of such Compliance Service Change. All Costs incurred by the Service Provider (other than those already included in any changed Service Fees) in providing any changed scope or volume or relocation of Services shall be borne by the Service Recipient.
(e) To the extent that a Service Recipient desires to pass through its receipt of a Service to a third party (“Third Party Recipient”) in connection with a sale or divestiture of a business, product or asset to such Third Party Recipient (whether by sale, license or otherwise) (a “Service Recipient Change”), it shall submit a written request for such Service Recipient Change to the Service Provider in the form set forth in Exhibit F. Any Service Recipient Change shall only be allowed upon written consent of the Service Provider, to be granted in its sole discretion; with the understanding that the Service Provider anticipates that any such consent would only be granted on condition that the Service Recipient enters into a written agreement (such agreement to be approved in advance by the Service Provider) with the Third Party Recipient whereby such Third Party Recipient agrees to be bound by terms and conditions that are no less restrictive than those set forth in this Agreement. The Service Recipient shall continue to be fully liable to the Service Provider (including for the payment of all Service Fees related to the relevant Service being passed through to the Third Party Recipient) and, as between the Parties, to all other Persons, for the failure of any Third Party Recipient to comply with such written agreement to the same extent that the Service Recipient would have been had the Service Recipient failed to comply with this Agreement. Any such written agreement shall automatically terminate upon the termination of this Agreement or the relevant Service that is being passed through to such
Third Party Recipient. The Service Provider’s consent of any Service Recipient Change shall also be conditioned upon a ten percent (10%) surcharge on the relevant Service Fees. All Costs incurred by the Service Provider (other than those already included in any changed Service Fees) in allowing the Service Recipient’s pass-through of any Service to a Third Party Recipient (including the implementation of any new services or protections that are required by the Third Party Provider) shall be borne by the Service Recipient.
SECTION 2.9 Changes to the Manner of Performance. The Service Provider may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services if it is making similar changes in performing services for itself or its Subsidiaries; provided that the Service Provider: (a) may not terminate any Service, except pursuant to Article IV; and (b) will use reasonable efforts to provide the Service Recipient with at least ninety (90) calendar days’ prior written notice of any such changes that are material to the Service Recipient’s operation of its business. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Service Provider to provide Services at a level that is greater than the level at which the Service Provider is then providing comparable services to itself or its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that if the Service Provider ceases to provide such a comparable service to itself or its Subsidiaries, then the Service Provider shall, until expiration or termination in accordance with Article IV, continue to provide such Services to the Service Recipient at the same level at which such Services are then being provided to the Service Recipient.
SECTION 2.10 Third Party Terms and Conditions; Consents. Each Service Recipient hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Services provided by the Service Provider through third party service providers or using third party assets, including Intellectual Property, are subject to the terms and conditions of any applicable agreements with such third parties. Additionally, all Service Recipients shall cooperate with and assist each relevant Service Provider in obtaining any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any third party (each an “Approval”) required to be obtained by the Service Provider (or its Subsidiaries) or made by third party service providers for the performance of the Service Provider’s obligations under this Agreement, including any Approval, the need for which may arise as the result of the Company no longer qualifying as a Subsidiary or Affiliate of Lilly from and after the Distribution or Other Disposition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) neither Party shall be obligated to incur any cost to obtain any such Approval, except that if any monies must be expended to pay for an Approval, or for the assignment of or for the purchase of any Intellectual Property or other assets to provide the Services to the Service Recipient, such costs shall be borne by the Service Recipient; (b) in no event shall the Service Recipient communicate directly with any relevant third party with respect to any Approval without the Service Provider’s written consent; and (c) with respect to any Service identified as a “Real Estate” Scheduled Service in Exhibit A or Exhibit C (as applicable), the Service Provider shall seek any relevant Approvals only to the extent such Service Provider, in good faith, deems such course of action to be advisable, taking into consideration certain business factors, including the relevant Service Period and the potential difficulty or consequence of requesting such Approvals. If the Service Provider is unable to obtain any Approvals required hereunder, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) negotiate in good faith reasonable modifications of the Services, if practicable, such that such Approvals are not required; and (ii) implement any such modifications. The Service Provider will not be in breach of this Agreement as a result of any non-performance of, or other effect upon, any applicable Services as a result of any failure to obtain any Approvals, so long as it has otherwise complied with this Section 2.10.
SECTION 2.11 Transitional Nature of Services; Exit Plan and Assistance. The Parties hereto acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services. Accordingly, as promptly as
practicable following the execution of this Agreement, each Party agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to make a transition of each Service to its own internal organization or to obtain alternate third party sources to provide the Services. In connection therewith, each Party shall comply with all provisions of the detailed written exit plan which sets forth how all members of such Party’s Group will transition from each of the Scheduled Services provided to such Party hereunder in a timely and efficient manner without material risk or disruption to either Company or Lilly and no later than the expiration of the relevant Service Period for each such Scheduled Service (each, an “Exit Plan”). Each Party’s Exit Plan for each Scheduled Service it receives hereunder shall be provided to the other Party no later than October 31, 2018, for any Scheduled Service scheduled to be terminated (in whole or in part) in calendar year 2019. For any Scheduled Service scheduled to be terminated (in whole or in part) on or after January 1, 2020, the Party receiving Services shall provide a preliminary Exit Plan to the other Party no later than March 31, 2019 (which contains, at a minimum, such Party’s good faith estimate of the exit or termination date for such Scheduled Service) and a final and binding Exit Plan no later than June 30, 2019 (which contains an exit or termination date that is substantially the same as the exit or termination date provided for such Scheduled Service in the preliminary Exit Plan). Each Exit Plan shall be subject to the other Party’s written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each Party shall, at the other Party’s sole cost and expense, provide the other Party with assistance reasonably necessary to transition the Scheduled Services in accordance with the Exit Plan; provided that each Party shall only be obligated to provide such assistance that is set forth in the Exit Plan. The specific services and timing in connection with such assistance shall be as mutually agreed to by the Parties. Any Costs incurred by each Party in connection with providing such assistance shall be a Service Exit Cost and shall be paid by the other Party in accordance with Section 5.1. For clarity, notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall be obligated to provide any services that either: (a) such Party cannot provide using its then-current ordinary course resources and capabilities, giving due consideration to other obligations; or (b) the other Party is reasonably able to provide to itself or that are reasonably obtainable from third party service providers. The foregoing assistance is deemed a “Service” for purposes of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.12 Cooperation.
(a) The Service Recipient agrees that it shall timely provide to the Service Provider, at no cost to the Service Provider, access to such personnel, facilities, assets and information, books and records of the Service Recipient, and provide timely decisions, approvals and acceptances, in each case as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Service Provider to perform its obligations under this Agreement in a timely and efficient manner.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing in this Section 2.12, each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other Party in all matters relating to the provision and receipt of the Services and to minimize the expense, distraction and disturbance to each Party, and shall perform all obligations hereunder timely and in good faith and in accordance with principles of fair dealing. Such cooperation shall include: (i) the execution and delivery of such further instruments or documents as may be reasonably requested by the other Party to enable the full performance of each Party’s obligations hereunder; and (ii) notification of the other Party in advance of any changes to a Party’s operating environment or personnel, and working with the other Party to minimize the effect of such changes.
SECTION 2.13 Compliance.
(a) The Services provided hereunder may be provided to all members of the Company Group or the Lilly Group, as applicable, and the receipt of the Services may involve the Company Group’s or the Lilly Group’s, as applicable, third party service providers, subcontractors and consultants. Each Party shall be responsible for its Subsidiaries’, and its and their third party service providers’, subcontractors’ and consultants’, compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(b) Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party shall not be required to provide any Service to the extent that the provision of such Service would require any member of the Lilly Group or the Company Group, as applicable, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents to violate: (i) any applicable Laws (including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act 2010); or (ii) any internal policies or procedures. Each Party shall at all times comply with all applicable Laws in connection with the provision and receipt of Services.
(c) Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, each Party shall and shall cause each member of the Company Group or the Lilly Group, as applicable, receiving Services hereunder to follow the policies, procedures, regulations and/or good industry practice (e.g., in accordance with ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, or industry best standards) with respect to the Services followed by the Service Provider, including those in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date and any changes thereto required due to changes in applicable Law (or changes in the interpretation or enforcement of applicable Law) or due to the Transactions following the Effective Date. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with Services related to reimbursement of personnel time or expenses, each Party agrees that it shall audit and monitor such reimbursements for improper activity. Without limiting the foregoing, the Service Recipient shall comply with all Service Provider policies, procedures, regulations, and good industry practice (e.g., in accordance with ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, or industry best standards) relating to the continuity of business, including information technology and security requirements and information protection reasonably requested by Service Provider. Each Party shall comply with and shall cause each member of the Company Group or the Lilly Group, as applicable, to comply at all times with all applicable Laws in connection with the Services and the operation of the Animal Health Business or the Retained Business, as applicable, from and after the Effective Date. Any costs or expenses associated with any compliance-related audit of a Party or any member of the Company Group or the Lilly Group, as applicable, shall be borne by such audited Party if any material non-compliance is found, and borne by such auditing Party if the audited Party is found to be materially compliant.
SECTION 2.14 Internal Audits of Lilly Managed Controls and Processes. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Lilly will, in the ordinary course of its business, conduct audits and testing of certain controls, processes and procedures that relate to the Lilly Services provided to Company under this Agreement (a “Lilly Managed Control or Process”). Lilly agrees that as soon as reasonably practicable following the completion of such audit and testing, Lilly will provide Company with reasonable access to the audit or controls testing documentation for any such Lilly Managed Control or Process that is material to the Company’s business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lilly’s responsibility shall be limited to providing reasonable
access to audit or controls testing documentation it creates in the ordinary course of its business and Lilly shall have no responsibility to conduct any particular audit or testing, create any specific documentation or to provide any interpretation of testing results, determination of the level of any potential deficiencies, risk assessments or materiality determinations (and, for clarity, the use of any such information provided by Lilly is solely Company’s responsibility, without limiting the last sentence of this Section 2.14). To the extent required by Company in connection with its auditing requirements, Company shall have the right to perform or have Lilly perform, in each case at Lilly’s option and upon reasonable written notice, an audit and testing of any Lilly Managed Control or Process. If Lilly agrees that Company may perform such audit and testing then, upon reasonable written notice to Xxxxx, Xxxxx shall permit Company representatives access during reasonable business hours and such audit may include reasonable testing procedures to cover key financial and information technology controls within Lilly Managed Controls or Processes, provided that, if any such audit or testing could provide or result in Company having access to any sensitive Information (as defined in the Separation Agreement) of Lilly (including CFR, tax and transfer pricing information), Lilly may request that Company appoint an independent third party audit firm reasonably acceptable to Lilly to conduct such audit and testing. All costs of any such audits, including the costs of a third party audit firm, shall be borne by Company. Within thirty (30) calendar days of completing such audit, Company shall submit a report to Lilly with its findings. Any information obtained or observed by Company during an audit shall be subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in Article III of this Agreement. For clarity, unless the remediation or modification is necessitated by a change or discontinuation in Lilly Service or other action by Xxxxx, Xxxxx shall have no responsibility to conduct any remediation or modification of any Lilly Managed Control or Process unless otherwise agreed to by Lilly in advance in writing in each instance, and, if any such remediation or modification (to the extent so agreed by Lilly) is primarily for the benefit of Company, Company shall reimburse any Costs incurred by Lilly or a member of the Lilly Group in connection therewith.
SECTION 2.15 Dependencies.
(a) To assist the Service Provider in performing the Services, each Service Recipient shall use reasonable efforts to satisfy any dependencies identified by the Service Provider to such Service Recipient that are applicable to the Service Provider’s performance of such dependent Services.
(b) The Service Provider shall not be liable to the Service Recipient for any failure to perform a Service, in whole or in part, to the extent that:
(i) such failure has been caused by the Service Recipient’s failure to satisfy a dependency identified to the Service Recipient; or
(ii) the Service Recipient’s gross negligence or willful misconduct has otherwise caused or contributed to such failure.
(c) If the Service Provider’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement is excused under Section 2.15(b), then the Service Provider shall:
(i) notify the Service Recipient of the Service Recipient’s failure to satisfy the dependency, or such other instance of gross negligence or willful misconduct, promptly after it becomes aware of them;
(ii) continue to perform those of its obligations under this Agreement that are not prevented by the Service Recipient’s failure to satisfy the dependency or such other relevant instance of gross negligence or willful misconduct; and
(iii) no longer be obligated to provide such excused Service, in whole or in part, as applicable, during the period in which the relevant dependency(ies) are not satisfied in accordance with Section 2.15(a) or the Service Recipient’s gross negligence or willful misconduct continues.
(d) The Service Provider may, in providing Services, rely on the provision of instructions, data and information to it by the Service Recipient. The Service Provider shall not have any liability to the Service Recipient in connection with this Agreement whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise for Costs suffered or incurred by either Party as a result of: (i) the inaccuracy, insufficiency or incompleteness of the instructions, data or information provided by the Service Recipient; or (ii) the Service Provider’s fulfillment of any Service Recipient request in connection with this Agreement.
ARTICLE III
CONFIDENTIALITY
SECTION 3.1 Confidentiality.
(a) Each Party shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) keep confidential any Confidential Information of the other Party or its Subsidiaries disclosed in connection with this Agreement, except as expressly agreed upon in writing by the other Party.
(b) The confidentiality obligations in Section 3.1(a) shall not apply to information which any Party or Subsidiary can demonstrate is required to be disclosed by applicable Law or the rules of any stock exchange or any Governmental Authority provided that in this event the Party which is obliged to disclose shall to the extent permitted by applicable Law use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other Party in advance as to its form, content and timing.
(c) Each of the Parties undertakes that it (and its respective Subsidiaries) shall only disclose Confidential Information to its Representatives if it is reasonably required for purposes connected with this Agreement and only if the Representatives are informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and the confidentiality obligations related thereto. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives not to use or permit the use of, any Confidential Information of the other Party, except in furtherance of the exercise of such Party’s (or its Subsidiary’s or its or their Representative’s) rights and the performance of such Party’s (or its Subsidiary’s or its or their Representative’s) obligations under this Agreement.
(d) If this Agreement terminates or expires, except as and solely to the extent required to remain in compliance with applicable Law, each Party shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to) as soon as practicable on request by the other Party:
(i) return to the other Party all written documents and other materials relating to this Agreement (including any Confidential Information) which the other Party (or its Subsidiaries or its or their Representatives) has provided to it, its Subsidiaries or its or their Representatives, or which has been provided on the other Party’s (or its Subsidiaries’ or its or their Representatives’) behalf, without keeping any copies of them;
(ii) destroy all information or other documents derived from the other Party’s or its Subsidiaries’ or its or their Representatives’ Confidential Information; and
(iii) so far as it is practicable to do so, expunge the other Party’s Confidential Information from any of its computers, word processors or other devices.
ARTICLE IV
TERM; TERMINATION
SECTION 4.1 Term and Service Periods.
(a) This Agreement shall become effective upon the Effective Date and expire upon the expiration or termination of the last Service to expire or be terminated (the “Term”), unless earlier terminated in connection with Section 4.2(b) or Section 4.2(c).
(b) The Parties agree that, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Scheduled Service shall commence on the Effective Date and shall terminate at the expiration of the “Service Period” set forth in Exhibit A or Exhibit C with respect to such Scheduled Service (each a “Service Period”), unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 4.2.
(c) Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, at any time at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the initial Service Period for a Scheduled Service, a Party may request that the initial Service Period for such Scheduled Service be extended, with any approval of such request for a Service Period extension being subject to the Service Provider’s sole discretion; provided, however, that the Service Provider shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide any Scheduled Service beyond a period of two (2) years after the expiration of the initial Service Period for such Scheduled Service. If a Party desires to request that any approved extended Service Period be extended again, it must request such extension at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the extended Service Period, and any approval of such request shall be subject to the Service Provider’s sole discretion. In the event that Service Provider approves of either of the foregoing types of requests, the Parties shall amend Exhibit A or Exhibit C to extend the relevant Service Period and amend the Service Fees in accordance with Section 5.1(c), and such extended Service Period and amended Service Fees shall be deemed applicable from and after the date of such amendment.
SECTION 4.2 Termination.
(a) The Service Recipient may, in good faith, request termination of a Service (in whole or in part) by submitting a written request to the Service Provider at least ninety (90) calendar days (or any longer period that may be set forth for such Scheduled Service in Exhibit A or Exhibit C, if applicable) prior to the date that the Service Recipient desires such Service to terminate and cease being provided. The Service Provider shall have thirty (30) calendar days (after receipt of such request) to review and provide the Service Recipient with a good faith estimate of the related Service Exit Costs (including the Service Exit Costs described in this Section 4.2(a)) that would be incurred in connection with such termination. The Service Recipient shall then have thirty (30) calendar days (after receipt of such disclosed estimated Service Exit Costs) to provide the Service Provider with written confirmation as to whether it desires such requested termination of a Service. If the Company does not timely provide such confirmation or otherwise confirms that it does not desire for such termination of a Service, the Service shall continue to be provided. If the Company does timely provide such confirmation that it desires that such Service be terminated, the Service Provider shall have thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such confirmation to approve such request in its sole discretion in accordance with the approach set forth in Exhibit G. If the Service Provider approves any such request, the Service Recipient shall pay (in accordance with Section 5.1): (i) any Costs incurred by the Service Provider in connection with terminating such Service and (ii) in addition to the Costs set forth in (i), if such Service is identified as a “Real Estate” Scheduled Service in Exhibit A or Exhibit C (as applicable), any Service Fees the Service Recipient would have been required to pay in connection with its receipt of such “Real Estate” Scheduled Service under the relevant full Service Period. Each of the foregoing in (i) and (ii) shall be treated as Service Exit Costs. Upon the termination of a Service, the Service Recipient shall pay all undisputed amounts accrued for the relevant Service Fees that have not yet been paid. In addition, the Service Recipient shall pay all Service Fees that it would have otherwise been required to pay for such Service for the entire calendar month in which the relevant termination takes effect. For the avoidance of doubt, no Service Fees shall be charged for a terminated Service beginning on the first (1st) day of the calendar month following the calendar month in which such termination has taken effect.
(b) Either Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) may terminate this Agreement at any time upon prior written notice to the other Party (the “Breaching Party”) if the Breaching Party has failed (other than pursuant to Section 11.8) to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement, and such failure shall have continued without cure for a period of thirty (30) calendar days (or with respect to any failure by the Service Recipient to make any undisputed payment as provided for under this Agreement, five (5) Business Days) after receipt by the Breaching Party of a written notice of such failure from the Non-Breaching Party seeking to terminate this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Party’s obligations under Section 2.10 shall be deemed to be material obligations under this Agreement.
(c) Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time upon prior written notice to the other Party if the other Party undergoes a Change of Control.
SECTION 4.3 Effect of Expiration and Termination; Accrued Rights; Survival.
(a) Expiration and termination of this Agreement, in part or in its entirety, shall not extinguish any rights or obligations that have accrued to the benefit of either Party prior to such expiration or termination (as applicable), including any rights of the Service Provider to receive payment under Section 5.1.
(b) The following provisions of this Agreement, together with all other provisions of this Agreement that expressly specify that they survive, shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement, in part or in its entirety: Article I, Section 2.15(b), Section 2.15(d), Article III, Article VIII, Article IX and Article XI, and Section 4.3, Section 5.2, and Section 7.1. For the avoidance of doubt, Lilly shall be under no obligation to provide any technical support for any migrated data, systems or applications following the termination date of any Service in respect thereof except to the extent that the need for technical support is a direct result of Lilly’s breach of this Agreement.
ARTICLE V
COMPENSATION
SECTION 5.1 Compensation.
(a) Beginning on the Charge Commencement Date, the Service Recipient shall pay to the Service Provider in accordance with the terms of this Agreement: (i) the Set-Up Costs; (ii) the Service Exit Costs; (iii) the In-Flight Project Costs; (iv) BAU Service Costs; (v) Program Charges and (vi) a fee for each Scheduled Service provided to the Service Recipient hereunder in accordance with the charges for such Scheduled Service set forth in Exhibit A or Exhibit C ((vi) the “Scheduled Fees” and, together with (i) through (v), the “Service Fees”). To the extent that any Third-Party Costs are not reflected in the Service Provider’s calculation of the Service Fees under this Section 5.1(a), such Third-Party Costs shall be in addition to the Service Fee. For clarity, all such Third-Party Costs will be passed through to the Service Recipient at the Service Provider’s cost without markup in accordance with this Article V and the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Service Recipient shall not be doubly billed for any Service Fees, Third-Party Costs, Internal Costs, or any other costs or expenses that are owed under this Agreement.
(b) Pursuant to Section 5.1(a), it is the intent of the Parties that, for the calendar years 2018, 2019 and 2020 and January 1 through March 31, 2021, the Scheduled Fees be based on Costs. On April 1, 2021, Lilly may by written notice increase all Scheduled Fees by a xxxx-up of seven percent (7%). On and after January 1, 2022 and for each calendar year thereafter during the Term, all Scheduled Fees will have their price adjusted by a percentage equal to the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (All Urban Consumers) issued by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics over the prior year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time a Party believes that (i) the Scheduled Fee contemplated by a specific Scheduled Service in Exhibit A or Exhibit C is materially insufficient or materially excessive, in each case by an amount equal to or greater than the Scheduled Service Margin with respect to compensation for the actual Cost (plus any applicable xxxx-up or surcharge after April 1, 2021)
of providing such Scheduled Service it is obligated to provide hereunder or (ii) the aggregate total of the Scheduled Fees contemplated by all of the Scheduled Services in Exhibit A or Exhibit C, is materially insufficient or materially excessive, in each case by an amount equal to or greater than the Aggregate Scheduled Service Margin, in each case including as a result of a change in circumstances, it shall notify the other Party by or before the following August 1, and the Parties hereto will commence good-faith negotiations toward an agreement in writing as to the appropriate course of action with respect to pricing of such Scheduled Service(s) in the context of the annual discussions of each of the Parties’ business plans to ensure that the Service Provider is compensated in accordance with the foregoing principle. If any such Scheduled Fee(s) are agreed to be adjusted as a result of such discussions, such adjusted Scheduled Fee(s) shall be effective as of the following January 1 and Exhibit A or Exhibit C, as applicable, shall be amended accordingly. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that additional employee hiring or retention costs not covered by any Service Fees may be reasonably incurred by a Service Provider to hire or retain necessary employees to provide a Service, which costs shall be for the account of the Service Recipient and shall be reimbursed by the Service Recipient to Service Provider in accordance with Section 5.1(a) as a Service Fee. Prior to incurring any such employee hiring or retention costs, the Service Provider shall provide the Service Recipient with ninety (90) days’ written notice of the reasonable need to incur such costs. The Service Recipient shall have thirty (30) calendar days from the date of receipt of such notice to provide the Service Provider with written confirmation as to whether it desires for such costs to be incurred in connection with the provision of the relevant Service. If the Service Recipient does not timely provide such confirmation or otherwise confirms that it does not desire such costs to be incurred in connection with the provision of the relevant Service, the Service Provider shall not incur such costs and shall thereafter have no obligation to provide the relevant Service under this Agreement. If the Service Recipient does timely provide such confirmation that it desires such costs to be incurred in connection with the provision of the relevant Service, such costs shall be borne by the Service Recipient and incorporated into the relevant Service Fee.
(c) If the Service Period of a Scheduled Service has been extended pursuant to Section 4.1(c), or a Service Recipient otherwise fails to exit a Scheduled Service upon the expiration of the initial Service Period of such Scheduled Service, then the Scheduled Fees payable on the expiration date of the initial Service Period with respect to such Scheduled Service, shall be subject to: (i) a ten percent (10%) surcharge for the three (3) months after the expiration date of such initial Service Period; (ii) a twenty percent (20%) surcharge for the three (3) months following the period set forth in (i); (iii) a thirty percent (30%) surcharge for the six (6) months following the period set forth in (ii); and (iv) a fifty percent (50%) surcharge thereafter. For the avoidance of doubt, any such surcharges shall be applied in addition to any xxxx-up on Scheduled Fees pursuant to Section 5.1(b).
SECTION 5.2 Taxes.
(a) Service Fees are exclusive of any VAT chargeable with respect to the supply of Services under this Agreement. To the extent any such Service Fee is subject to any VAT, or in the event of any amendment to VAT legislation or for any other reason the sums invoiced without VAT in accordance with this Agreement become or are subject to VAT, then the Service Recipient receiving such supply (and the invoices relating thereto) shall, in addition
to the sums payable, pay the Service Provider, or its invoicing Subsidiary, on receipt of a valid VAT invoice, the full amount of VAT chargeable thereon.
(b) The Service Recipient shall be responsible for all goods and services, value added, sales, use, gross receipts, business, consumption and other similar taxes, levies and charges (other than income taxes) imposed by applicable taxing authorities attributable to the supply of Services or any payment hereunder, whether or not such taxes, levies or charges are shown on any invoices. If the Service Provider is required to pay any part of such taxes, levies or charges, the Service Recipient shall promptly reimburse the Service Provider for such taxes, levies and charges.
(c) If applicable Law requires that an amount in respect of any taxes, levies or charges be withheld from any payment by the Service Recipient to the Service Provider under this Agreement, the amount payable to the Service Provider shall be increased as necessary so that, after the Service Recipient has withheld amounts required by applicable Law, the Service Provider receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such withholding been required, and the Service Recipient shall withhold such taxes, levies or charges and pay such withheld amounts over to the applicable taxing authority in accordance with the requirements of the applicable Law and provide the Service Provider with a receipt confirming such payment. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to determine whether any such deduction or withholding applies to the Services, and if so, shall further reasonably cooperate to minimize applicable withholding taxes.
(d) Cross-border Services to be performed hereunder may fall within Article 44 of the EU VAT Directive or the relevant equivalent national provision or any similar provision applying outside the European Union, such that the Service Recipient, and not the Service Provider, is obliged to account for VAT chargeable in relation to the Services. In such case, the Service Recipient hereby agrees that with respect to each applicable jurisdiction, the Service Recipient Party (whether Lilly or Company) will itself account for VAT in its own jurisdiction on the performance of such cross-border Services made to it hereunder and that the Service Provider Party (whether Lilly or Company) will (to the extent legally possible), issue invoices without local VAT. The Service Recipient agrees that with respect to each such jurisdiction, it will provide on request to the Service Provider, a valid VAT registration number and certificate (or equivalent documentation) in the jurisdiction with respect to the receipt of such cross-border Services.
(e) References in this Agreement to “Costs” or “costs” incurred by a Party shall include any amount of VAT comprised in such Costs or costs, other than any such amount of VAT which that Party (or, if relevant, any other member of such Party’s Group for VAT purposes) is entitled to recover (whether by credit, repayment or otherwise).
ARTICLE VI
PAYMENT TERMS
SECTION 6.1 Invoicing. Except as otherwise provided herein or otherwise specified in Exhibit A, Exhibit C or Exhibit D, Lilly and Company shall each invoice the other Party for

Any Set-Up Costs, Service Exit Costs, BAU Service Costs and Program Charges shall be invoiced by either Party as soon as reasonably practicable after such Party (or a member of its Group) has incurred the relevant Costs as a Service Provider on or after the Charge Commencement Date; provided, however, that any such Set-Up Costs, Service Exit Costs, BAU Service Costs and Program Charges incurred shall, in any event, be invoiced at least on a quarterly basis. The invoiced Party shall pay the invoicing Party all amounts as may be due hereunder within sixty (60) calendar days from the date of invoice in U.S. dollars; to the extent that any Service Fees are required to be converted into U.S. dollars in connection with the foregoing, such Service Fees shall be converted into U.S. dollars in accordance with the currency conversion rate mechanisms set forth in Exhibit H. All such invoices shall be delivered to the invoiced Party. Any correspondence concerning such invoices shall be made to contacts at each Party designated within thirty (30) calendar days after the Effective Date, or as the relevant Service Provider shall later designate to the Service Recipient.
SECTION 6.2 Interest. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, any amounts not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement (and any amounts billed or otherwise invoiced or demanded and properly payable) that are not paid within sixty (60) calendar days of such xxxx, invoice or other demand shall accrue interest a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus five percent (5%) from but excluding the due date to and including the date of actual payment calculated on a daily basis until such payment is settled.
ARTICLE VII
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND DATA
SECTION 7.1 Ownership of Intellectual Property and Data.
(a) Each Party shall be the sole and exclusive owner of all Intellectual Property that it or any member of its Group, or any of its or their third party service providers, as applicable, creates under this Agreement, including any modifications to its systems and software, and any Intellectual Property created in performance of the Services (except as expressly provided in Section 7.1(b)).
(b) All data collected or created pursuant to a Company Service and on behalf of Company shall be owned by Company, except that Lilly shall own technical data generated or created in providing the Company Services that relate to the operation of Lilly’s business infrastructure.

and irrevocably assign to the other Party or a member of such Party’s Group any and all such right, title and interest throughout the world in and to such Intellectual Property and data, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, without the need for any further action by any Group. Each Party shall execute any documentation reasonably requested by the other Party to memorialize such assignment. Except as set forth in Section 7.1(a) and Section 7.1(b), Lilly, on the one hand, and Company, on the other hand, retains all right, title and interest in and to their respective Intellectual Property and data, and no other license or other right, express or implied, is granted to any member of either Group to the other Group’s Intellectual Property or data under this Agreement.

(b) Company hereby grants (and shall cause relevant members of the Company Group to grant) to the Lilly Group a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, limited license to use during the Term the Intellectual Property provided by Company (or any relevant members of the Company Group) to the Lilly Group under this Agreement, solely to the extent required to receive or provide the Services, as applicable.

SECTION 8.3 Limitations of Liability.
(a) Limitation of Liability for Service Noncompliance. Except with respect to a Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, each Party’s maximum liability to, and the sole remedy of, the other Party under or in connection with Service Noncompliance under this Agreement (including any breach hereof) shall be a refund of the Service Fees paid for the particular Service, except that if the Service Provider completely fails to provide a Service in its entirety and fails to resume providing such service within thirty (30) calendar days following
written notice thereof from the Service Recipient, the Service Provider’s liability may also include: (i) the Service Recipient’s incremental cost of performing the Service itself; or (ii) the Service Recipient’s incremental cost of obtaining the Service from a third party; provided that, in each case, the Service Recipient shall exercise its reasonable best efforts under the circumstances to minimize the cost of any such alternatives to the Services by selecting the most cost-effective alternatives which provide the functional equivalent of the Services replaced and in any event, the Service Provider’s maximum liability shall be subject to Section 8.3(b). Each Party agrees that the receipt of Services shall be an unqualified acceptance of, and a waiver by, such Party of its rights to assert any claim with respect to Service Noncompliance unless it gives written notice of the Service Noncompliance to the other Party within the later of: (i) thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which such asserting Party became, or should have become, aware of the facts, events, occurrences or circumstances underlying such claim; or (ii) sixty (60) calendar days after receipt of the Service by such asserting Party.
(b) General Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall either Party’s liability under or in connection with this Agreement or the Services in the aggregate exceed the amount of Service Fees paid by the other Party to such Party under Section 5.1 in the twelve (12) months preceding the related breach, claim or action.
(c) Special Damages. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, and except as provided below, in no event will either Party or any Person in its respective Group be liable for special, incidental, indirect, collateral, consequential or punitive damages or lost profits suffered by an indemnitee, however caused and on any theory of liability, in connection with any damages arising hereunder or thereunder; provided, however, that to the extent an indemnitee is required to pay any damages, including special, incidental, indirect, collateral, consequential or punitive damages or lost profits, to a Person who is not in either Group in connection with a Third Party Claim and is entitled to indemnification hereunder therefor, such damages will constitute direct damages and will not be subject to the exclusion set forth in this Section 8.3(c).
(d) Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties. EACH OF LILLY (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH MEMBER OF THE LILLY GROUP) AND COMPANY (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH MEMBER OF THE COMPANY GROUP) UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN THE SEPARATION AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, AND NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY SHALL BE IMPLIED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR AT LAW, WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY, AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES ARISING UNDER THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE (OR SIMILAR FOREIGN LAWS).
