SERVICES

Section 2.01.                          Initial Services.  Effective as of the commencement of the Service Period, the applicable Provider shall provide, or Abbott or AbbVie, as applicable, shall cause one or more of its other Subsidiaries to provide, to the applicable Recipient, the services (the “Initial Services”) for which a Commencement Date is indicated on Schedule 1 of the applicable Joinder Agreement for such Recipient and as described in greater detail on the subsections of Exhibit A hereto.

Section 2.02.                          Omitted Services; Excluded Services; Additional Services.

(a)                                 If, following the Effective Time and during the term of this Agreement, a Recipient identifies a service that, prior to the Effective Time, its applicable Provider or any of its Subsidiaries provided to such Recipient, but such service was inadvertently omitted from the Services set forth on Schedule 1 of the applicable Joinder Agreement (each such service, an

4

“Omitted Service”), then such Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, or to cause one of its Subsidiaries to provide, any such Omitted Service to such Recipient; provided that such Provider shall not be obligated to provide any Omitted Service if it does not, in its reasonable judgment, have adequate resources to provide such Omitted Service or if the provision of such Omitted Service would significantly disrupt the operation of its businesses.  Xxxxxx and AbbVie shall cooperate and act in good faith to create a supplemental subsection of Exhibit A hereto for each Omitted Service in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.  The applicable Provider and Recipient shall (i) amend Schedule 1 of the applicable Joinder Agreement to include such Omitted Service and (ii) promptly provide Notice of such amendment (including a copy thereof) to Xxxxxx and AbbVie.  Each such supplemental subsection of Exhibit A hereto and each such amended Schedule 1 to such Joinder Agreement shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and the Omitted Services set forth therein shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b)                                 If, following the Effective Time and during the term of this Agreement, a Recipient identifies a service that, prior to the Effective Time, its applicable Provider or any of its Subsidiaries provided to such Recipient, but Xxxxxx and AbbVie had mutually agreed that such service would not be provided under the terms of this Agreement (each such service, an “Excluded Service”), then such Recipient or Provider shall provide Notice thereof to Xxxxxx and AbbVie, and Xxxxxx and AbbVie shall cooperate and act in good faith to determine whether such Provider shall provide such Excluded Service to such Recipient under the terms of this Agreement.  If Xxxxxx and AbbVie determine that such Provider shall provide such Excluded Service to such Recipient (each such Excluded Service, a “Reinstated Service”), then Xxxxxx and AbbVie will act in good faith to create a supplemental subsection of Exhibit A hereto for each Reinstated Service in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.  The applicable Provider and Recipient shall (i) amend Schedule 1 of the applicable Joinder Agreement to include such Reinstated Service and (ii) promptly provide Notice of such amendment (including a copy thereof) to Xxxxxx and AbbVie.  Each such supplemental subsection of Exhibit A hereto and each such amended Schedule 1 to such Joinder Agreement shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and the Reinstated Services set forth therein shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c)                                  If, following the Effective Time and during the term of this Agreement, a Recipient identifies a service, other than an Omitted Service or an Excluded Service, that it desires for its applicable Provider or any of its Subsidiaries to provide to such Recipient (each such service, an “Additional Service”), then such Provider shall consider such request, in conjunction with Xxxxxx and AbbVie; provided that nothing shall require such Provider to provide such Additional Service to such Recipient.  If such Provider consents to providing an Additional Service to such Recipient, then such Recipient or Provider shall provide Notice thereof to Xxxxxx and AbbVie, and Xxxxxx and AbbVie shall cooperate and act in good faith to create a supplemental subsection of Exhibit A hereto for each Additional Service in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.  The applicable Provider and Recipient shall (i) amend Schedule 1 of the applicable Joinder Agreement to include such Additional Service and (ii) promptly provide Notice of such amendment (including a copy thereof) to Xxxxxx and AbbVie.  Each such supplemental subsection of Exhibit A hereto and each such amended Schedule 1 to such Joinder

5

Agreement shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and the Additional Services set forth therein shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 2.03.                          Performance of Services.

(a)                                 Each Provider shall perform and cause its Subsidiaries to perform all Services to be provided by such Provider in a manner that is based on its past practice and that is substantially similar in nature, quality and timeliness to the analogous services provided by Abbott to the Abbott Subsidiaries prior to the Commencement Date.  Each Provider shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, perform its duties and responsibilities hereunder in good faith.

(b)                                 Nothing in this Agreement shall require a Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service to the extent the manner of such performance would constitute a violation of applicable Laws, the Abbott Code of Business Conduct or any existing contract or agreement with a Third Party.  If a Provider is or becomes aware of any potential violation on the part of the Provider, such Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly send a Notice to its applicable Recipient of such potential violation.  Each Provider and Recipient agrees to cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary Third Party consents required under any existing contract or agreement with a Third Party to allow the applicable Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 2.03.  Any costs and expenses incurred by any Provider or Recipient or any of its respective Subsidiaries in connection with obtaining any such Third Party consent that is required to allow the applicable Provider to perform or cause to be performed (i) any Service (other than an Additional Service) shall be split between the applicable Provider and Recipient in accordance with such Parties’ respective utilization of the applicable Service at such time (except with respect to fees imposed by Third Parties to allow joint participation by the Provider and the Recipient under information technology contracts and licenses, which fees shall be split equally between the applicable Provider and the Recipient) and (ii) any Additional Service shall be solely the responsibility of the Recipient.  If, with respect to a Service, the applicable Provider and Recipient, despite the use of such commercially reasonable efforts, are unable to obtain a required Third Party consent or the performance of such Service by the applicable Provider would continue to constitute a violation of applicable Laws or the Abbott Code of Business Conduct, the applicable Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to provide such Services in a manner as closely as possible to the standards described in this Section 2.03 that would apply absent the exception provided for in the first sentence of this Section 2.03(b).

(c)                                  No Provider shall be obligated to perform or to cause to be performed any Service in a volume or quantity in any calendar year that exceeds the highest volumes or quantities of analogous services provided to the applicable Recipient during calendar year 2012, as set forth in the 2012 plan (without reference to the transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement) (the “Service Baseline Period”).  If a Recipient requests that its Provider perform or cause to be performed any Service in a volume or quantity that exceeds the highest volumes or quantities of analogous services that were provided to such Recipient during the Service Baseline Period, then: (i) if such higher volume or quantity results from fluctuations occurring in the ordinary course of business of such Recipient, the applicable

6

Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such requested higher volume or quantity; and (ii) if such higher volume or quantity results from any other source, including an acquisition, merger, purchase or other business combination by such Recipient, then such Recipient or Provider shall provide Notice thereof to Xxxxxx and AbbVie, and Xxxxxx and AbbVie shall cooperate and act in good faith to determine whether the applicable Provider will be required to provide such requested higher volume or quantity.  If Xxxxxx and AbbVie determine that the applicable Provider shall provide the requested higher volume or quantity then such higher volume or quantity shall be documented in a written agreement signed by the applicable Recipient and Provider who shall promptly provide Notice of such agreement (including a copy thereof) to Xxxxxx and AbbVie.  The volume or quantity increases set forth in such written agreement shall be deemed a part of the “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(d)                                 (i) No Provider or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to perform or to cause to be performed any of the Services for the benefit of any Third Party or any other Person other than the applicable Recipient, and (ii) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 2.03, EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ALL SERVICES AND PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, THAT EACH RECIPIENT ASSUMES ALL RISK AND LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ITS USE OF AND RELIANCE UPON THE SERVICES, AND THAT EACH PROVIDER MAKES NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR GRANTS ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS.  EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OR EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR THE NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES.

(e)                                  Each Party shall be responsible for its own compliance with any and all Laws applicable to its performance under this Agreement.  No Party shall knowingly take any action in violation of any such applicable Law that results in Liability being imposed on any other Party.

Section 2.04.                          Charges for Services.  Each Recipient shall pay to its applicable Provider a monthly fee for the Services (or category of Services, as applicable) (each fee constituting a “Charge” and, collectively, “Charges”) provided by such Provider or its applicable Subsidiaries, which Charges shall be agreed to by the applicable Provider and Recipient from time to time.  During the term of this Agreement, the amount of a Charge for any Services may adjust to the extent of:  (a) any adjustments mutually agreed to by the applicable Provider and Recipient; (b) any Charges applicable to any Omitted Services, Reinstated Services or Additional Services; and (c) in accordance with Section 2.08, any proportional adjustment in the rates or charges imposed by any Third Party provider that is providing Services.  Together with any monthly invoice for Charges, each Provider shall provide its applicable Recipient with reasonable documentation, including any additional documentation reasonably requested by such Recipient to the extent such documentation is in such Provider’s or its Subsidiaries’ possession or control, to support the calculation of such Charges.

7

Section 2.05.                          Reimbursement for Out-of-Pocket Expenses.  Each Recipient shall reimburse its applicable Provider for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Provider or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with providing the Services (including reasonable travel-related expenses) to the extent that such costs and expenses are not reflected in the Charges for such Services; provided, however, that any such cost or expense not consistent with historical practice between such Provider and Recipient for any Service (including business travel and related expenses) shall require advance approval of such Recipient.  Any authorized travel-related expenses incurred in performing the Services shall be incurred and charged to the applicable Recipient in accordance with such Provider’s then applicable business travel policies.

Section 2.06.                          Changes to Services.

(a)                                 Except as provided in Section 2.08 and subject to the performance standards set forth in this Article II, each Provider may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services if such Provider is making similar changes in performing analogous services for itself and if such Provider furnishes to its applicable Recipient reasonable prior Notice (in content and timing) respecting such changes; provided, however, that no Provider may modify any of its accounting policies or its foreign exchange rate setting process as defined in the B.2.0 policy that would directly or indirectly impact the Services without the prior written consent of its applicable Recipient (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  No such change shall affect the timeliness or quality of, or the Charges for, the applicable Service.  If any such change by a Provider reasonably requires its applicable Recipient to incur incremental costs and expenses in order to continue to receive and utilize the applicable Services in the same manner as such Recipient was receiving and utilizing such Service prior to such change, such Provider shall be required to reimburse such Recipient for all such reasonable costs and expenses.  Upon request of a Provider, the applicable Recipient shall provide such Provider with reasonable documentation, including any additional documentation reasonably requested by such Provider to the extent such documentation is in such Recipient’s or its Subsidiaries’ possession or control, to support the calculation of such incremental costs and expenses.

(b)                                 AbbVie acknowledges that it has received a copy of Xxxxxx’x B.2.0 internal calendar for 2013 from Abbott. Prior to the commencement of each subsequent calendar year during the term of this Agreement, Abbott shall make available to AbbVie a copy of Xxxxxx’x B.2.0 internal calendar for such calendar year (and AbbVie may request the same of Abbott if Abbott has not made such copy available to AbbVie prior to the commencement of the applicable subsequent calendar year).

(c)                                  Prior to 12:00 p.m. Central Time on the B.2.0 day of each calendar month during the term of this Agreement, Abbott shall make available to AbbVie a copy of Xxxxxx’x foreign exchange rates determined in accordance with Xxxxxx’x B.2.0 policy for such calendar month (and AbbVie may request the same of Abbott if Abbott has not made such copy available to AbbVie prior to 12:00 p.m. Central Time on the B.2.0 day of the applicable calendar month).

Section 2.07.                          Transitional Nature of Services.  Each Provider and applicable Recipient acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services and agree to cooperate in good faith and to

8

use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate a smooth transition of the Services from such Provider to such Recipient (or its designee).

Section 2.08.                          Use of Third Parties to Provide Services.  Each Provider may perform its obligations to provide a Service through agents, subcontractors or independent contractors, provided that the delegation of performance of the applicable Service does not impact the timeliness or quality of such Service, in accordance with the following:

(a)                                 Provider is Currently Using Third Parties as of the Effective Time.  If, as of the Effective Time, (i) the Provider is obtaining analogous services for itself from agents, subcontractors or independent contractors, or (ii) the Provider is obtaining services from agents, subcontractors or independent contractors which services such Provider shall only provide to its applicable Recipient under this Agreement and such Provider shall not otherwise require such analogous services for itself during the term of this Agreement, then the Charges for the applicable Services such Provider is obtaining from such Third Parties may be adjusted proportionally by such Provider pursuant to Section 2.04(c) to reflect any adjustment in the rates or charges imposed by the Third Party that is providing such Services; or

(b)                                 Provider Elects to Switch to Third Parties After the Effective Time.

(i)                                     If, following the Effective Time, the Provider elects to obtain analogous services for itself from agents, subcontractors or independent contractors (A) such Provider shall furnish to its applicable Recipient reasonable prior Notice (in content and timing) respecting such use of Third Parties, and (B) the Charges for the applicable Services such Provider is obtaining from such Third Parties may be adjusted proportionally by such Provider pursuant to Section 2.04(c) to reflect any adjustment in the rates or charges imposed by the Third Party that is providing such Services; and

(ii)                                  If, however, following the Effective Time, the Provider is not obtaining analogous services for itself from agents, subcontractors or independent contractors (A) such Provider shall furnish to its applicable Recipient reasonable prior Notice (in content and timing) respecting such use of Third Parties, and (B) the Charges for the applicable Services such Provider is providing through such Third Parties appointed following the Effective Time may not be adjusted by such Provider as a result of any adjustments in the rates or charges imposed by such Third Parties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Provider shall be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement by use of such agents, subcontractors or independent contractors.

Section 2.09.                          Joinder Agreement.  Each of Xxxxxx and AbbVie shall cause their respective Subsidiaries who are to provide or receive Services to become a party to this Agreement and adopt this Agreement with the same force and effect as if it were originally a party hereto by executing a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto (each, a “Joinder Agreement”).  Each such Joinder Agreement executed pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such Joinder Agreement.

ARTICLE V

TERM AND TERMINATION

Section 5.01.                          Term.  With respect to each Recipient and its applicable Provider of the applicable Services, this Agreement shall commence on the commencement of the applicable Service Period and shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of:  (a) the last date on which such Provider is obligated to provide any Service to such Recipient in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or (b) the mutual written agreement of Xxxxxx and AbbVie to terminate this Agreement in its entirety.  Unless otherwise terminated pursuant to Section 5.02, this Agreement

11

shall terminate with respect to any Service for a given Recipient at the close of business on the last day of the Service Period for such Service for such Recipient.

Section 5.02.                          Early Termination.

(a)                                 Without prejudice to any Recipient’s rights with respect to a Force Majeure, any Recipient may from time to time terminate this Agreement with respect to the entirety of any individual Service but not a portion thereof:

(i)                                     for any reason or no reason, upon the giving of an advance Notice to the Provider of such Service not less than the shorter of (A) one hundred eighty (180) days, or (B) one-half the original Service Period for such Service; provided, however, that any such termination may only be effective as of the last day of a month; or

(ii)                                  if the Provider of such Service has failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Service, and such failure shall continue to exist forty five (45) days after receipt by such Provider of Notice of such failure from the Recipient; provided, however, that any such termination may only be effective as of the last day of a month; and provided, further, that the Recipient shall not be entitled to terminate the Agreement with respect to the applicable Service if, as of the end of such forty five (45)-day period, there remains a good faith Dispute between such Provider and Recipient (undertaken in accordance with the terms of Section 9.07) as to whether the Provider has cured the applicable breach.

(b)                                 Any Provider may terminate this Agreement with respect to any individual Service, but not a portion thereof, at any time upon prior Notice to the applicable Recipient if such Recipient has failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement relating to such Services, including making payment of Charges for such Service when due, and such failure shall continue uncured for a period of forty five (45) days after receipt by such Recipient of a Notice of such failure from the Provider; provided, however, that any such termination may only be effective as of the last day of a month; and provided, further, that the Provider shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement with respect to the applicable Service if, as of the end of such forty five (45)-day period, there remains a good faith Dispute between such Provider and Recipient (undertaken in accordance with the terms of Section 9.07) as to whether the Recipient has cured the applicable breach.  If a Provider has terminated a Service in accordance with the previous sentence, such Provider shall, without the consent of the Recipient, amend Schedule 1 of the applicable Joinder Agreement to reflect any terminated Service by indicating the early termination date with respect to such terminated Service for such Recipient and shall promptly provide Notice of such amendment (including a copy thereof) to Xxxxxx, AbbVie and the applicable Recipient.

Section 5.03.                          Reduction of Services.  Any Recipient may from time to time request a reduction in part of the scope or amount of any Service; provided that any such reduction may only take effect as of the end of a month.  If requested to do so by a Recipient by Notice to Xxxxxx and AbbVie, Xxxxxx and AbbVie shall discuss in good faith appropriate adjustments to the relevant Charges in light of all relevant factors.  If, after such discussions, Xxxxxx and AbbVie do not approve any requested reduction of the scope or amount of any Service and the

12

relevant Charges in connection therewith, then (a) there shall be no change to the Charges under this Agreement and (b) unless the applicable Recipient and Provider otherwise agree in writing, there shall be no change to the scope or amount of any Services under this Agreement.  If, after such discussions, Xxxxxx and AbbVie approve any reduction of Service, such reduction of Service shall be documented in a written agreement executed on behalf of the applicable Recipient and Provider and such Recipient and Provider shall promptly provide Notice of such agreement (including a copy thereof) to Xxxxxx and AbbVie.  Additionally, in connection with any such reduction of Service, Xxxxxx and AbbVie may approve an appropriate reduction to the Charges related to the applicable reduced Service.

Section 5.04.                          Extension of Services.

(a)                                 Each Recipient may request to extend the Service Period of any Service (each such extension, a “Service Extension”) one time for each Service unless Xxxxxx and AbbVie shall authorize additional extensions, by providing the Provider of such Service with advance Notice not less than the shorter of (i) one hundred eighty (180) days, or (ii) one-half of the original Service Period for such Service.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Provider and Recipient shall first execute a Joinder Agreement after June 30, 2014, the Service Period for the Services provided by such Provider to such Recipient shall automatically be deemed to terminate on December 31, 2015, unless such Recipient and Provider agree in their applicable Joinder Agreement to a shorter Service Period of any Service to be provided to such Recipient by such Provider, in which case such shorter Service Period shall apply to the particular Service.

(b)                                 If the Recipient (other than a Recipient who first executed a Joinder Agreement after June 30, 2014) is requesting a Service Extension for a particular Service for the first time and the requested Service Extension is for a period of twelve (12) months or less past the originally scheduled expiration of the Service Period for the applicable Service, then the Provider shall be obligated to provide such requested Service Extension and the applicable Recipient and Provider shall in good faith (i) negotiate the terms of an amendment to the applicable Joinder Agreement and promptly provide Notice of such amendment (including a copy thereof) to Xxxxxx and AbbVie, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of the applicable Service, and (ii) determine the costs and expenses (which shall not include any Charges payable under this Agreement), if any, that would be incurred by such Provider or Recipient, as the case may be, in connection with the provision of such Service Extension, which costs and expenses shall be borne solely by the Recipient.  If (A) the requested Service Extension is for a period of longer than twelve (12) months past the originally scheduled expiration of the Service Period for the applicable Service or (B) the applicable Recipient has previously requested a Service Extension for the particular Service that such Recipient is currently requesting a Service Extension, then such Recipient or Provider shall provide Notice of such request to Xxxxxx and AbbVie, and Xxxxxx and AbbVie shall cooperate and act in good faith to determine whether the Provider shall provide the applicable Service for the requested Service Extension period.  If Xxxxxx and AbbVie determine that the Provider shall provide such Service during the requested Service Extension period, then the applicable Recipient and Provider shall in good faith (1) negotiate the terms of an amendment to Schedule 1 of the applicable Joinder Agreement and promptly provide Notice of such amendment (including a copy thereof) to Xxxxxx and AbbVie, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of the applicable Service, and (2) determine the costs and expenses (which shall not include any Charges payable

13

under this Agreement), if any, that would be incurred by such Provider or Recipient, as the case may be, in connection with the provision of such Service Extension, which costs and expenses shall be borne solely by the Recipient.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, that portion of the Service described on Exhibit A-13 (the “Accounting, Reporting & Financial Services”) which relates solely to the applicable Provider’s obligation under this Agreement to collect amounts owed by any Third Party with respect to the AbbVie Business pursuant to a contract between such Third Party, on the one hand, and such Provider alone, on the other hand (such portion of such Service, the “Collection Service”) shall be deemed automatically extended without further action on the part of the applicable Provider or Recipient until the earlier of (i) such date when ninety-five percent (95%) of all amounts owed under all such contracts with respect to the AbbVie Business as of the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Time have been collected and (ii) the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Effective Time.

Section 5.05.                          Interdependencies.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) there may be interdependencies among the Services being provided under this Agreement, (ii) upon the request of any Provider or Recipient by Notice to Xxxxxx and AbbVie, Xxxxxx and AbbVie shall cooperate and act in good faith to determine whether (A) any such interdependencies exist with respect to the particular Service that such Provider or Recipient is seeking to terminate, reduce part of the scope or amount of, or extend, as applicable, in accordance with Section 5.02, Section 5.03 or Section 5.04, respectively, and (B) in the case of a termination or reduction, the Provider’s ability to provide a particular Service in accordance with this Agreement would be materially and adversely affected by such termination, or reduction in part of the scope or amount, of another Service, as applicable, in accordance with Section 5.02 or Section 5.03, respectively, prior to the expiration of the period of the maximum duration for such Service, and (iii) in the event that Xxxxxx and AbbVie have determined that such interdependencies exist (and, in the case of a termination or reduction, as applicable, that the Provider’s ability to provide a particular Service in accordance with this Agreement would be materially and adversely affected by the termination, or reduction in part of the scope or amount, of another Service, as applicable, in accordance with Section 5.02 or Section 5.03, respectively, prior to the expiration of the period of the maximum duration for such Service), the applicable Provider and Recipient shall negotiate in good faith to amend Schedule 1 of the applicable Joinder Agreement relating to the termination dates of such impacted Services and shall promptly provide Notice of such amendment (including a copy thereof) to Xxxxxx and AbbVie.  Each such amended Joinder Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such amendment.

Section 5.06.                          Effect of Termination.  Upon the termination of any Service for any Recipient pursuant to this Agreement, the Provider of the terminated Service shall have no further obligation to provide the terminated Service to such Recipient, and such Recipient shall have no obligation to pay any future Charges relating to any such Service; provided, however, that the Recipient shall remain obligated to the relevant Provider for the Charges owed and payable in respect of Services provided prior to the effective date of termination for such Service.  In connection with the termination of any Service, the provisions of this Agreement not relating solely to such terminated Service shall survive any such termination, and in connection with a termination of this Agreement, Article I, this Article V, Article VII and Article IX, all

14

confidentiality obligations under this Agreement and Liability for all due and unpaid Charges, shall continue to survive indefinitely.

Section 5.07.                          Information Transmission.  Each Provider, on behalf of itself and its respective Subsidiaries, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or make available, or cause to be provided or made available, to its applicable Recipient, in accordance with Section 6.01(a) of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, any Information received or computed by the Provider for the benefit of such Recipient concerning the relevant Service during the Service Period; provided, however, that, except as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Provider and Recipient (a) no Provider shall have any obligation to provide or cause to provide Information in any non-standard format, (b) the Provider and its Subsidiaries shall be reimbursed for their reasonable costs in accordance with Section 6.01(c) of the Separation and Distribution Agreement for creating, gathering, copying, transporting and otherwise providing such Information, and (c) the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain any such Information in accordance with Section 6.03 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Section 6.02.                          No Release.  Each Party agrees (a) not to release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any information addressed in Section 6.01 to any other Person, except its Representatives who need to know such information in their capacities as such, and except in compliance with Section 6.04, and (b) to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain any such information in accordance with Section 6.03 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Section 6.03.                          Third Party Information; Privacy and Data Protection Laws.  Each Party acknowledges that it and its respective Subsidiaries may presently have and, following the Effective Time, may gain access to or possession of confidential or proprietary information of, or personal information relating to, Third Parties (a) that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements entered into between such Third Parties, on the one hand, and the other Party or the other Party’s Subsidiaries, on the other hand, prior to the Effective Time; or (b) that, as between the Parties, was originally collected by the other Party or the other Party’s Subsidiaries and that may be subject to and protected by privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws.  As provided in more detail in a data protection agreement to be entered into between Xxxxxx and AbbVie as of the Effective Time, each of Xxxxxx and AbbVie agrees that it shall hold, protect and use, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives to hold, protect and use, in strict confidence the confidential and proprietary information of, or personal information relating to, Third Parties in accordance with privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws and the terms of any agreements that were either entered into before the Effective Time or affirmative commitments or representations that were made before the Effective Time by, between or among such other Party or such other Party’s Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and such Third Parties, on the other hand.

Section 6.04.                          Protective Arrangements.  In the event that any Party or any of its Affiliates is requested or required (by oral question, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) by any Governmental Authority or pursuant to applicable Law to disclose or provide any confidential or proprietary information of the other Party that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, or to disclose or provide any Personal Data that it processes on behalf of the other Party in accordance with the data protection agreement to be entered into between Xxxxxx and AbbVie as of the Effective Time, such Party shall, unless prohibited by such request or requirement of the applicable Governmental Authority or under applicable Law, provide such other Party with Notice of such request or demand as promptly as practicable under the circumstances so that such other Party shall have an opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order, at such other Party’s own cost and expense.  In the event that such other Party fails to receive such appropriate protective order in a timely manner and the Party receiving the request or demand reasonably determines that its failure to disclose or provide such information shall actually prejudice the Party receiving the request or demand, then the Party that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or provide information to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority.
