Section
2.1. Transition
Services.
(a) Initial
Services. Commencing on the Closing Date, Seller agrees to
provide or otherwise make available, or with respect to any service to be
provided by an Affiliate of Seller, to cause such Affiliate of Seller to provide
or make available, to Buyer the applicable services within each category of
service (‘Service Categories’) set forth on Exhibit A attached
hereto and as further detailed in the schedules (the “Schedules”) mutually
agreed upon and attached thereto (collectively, the “Initial
Services”). To the extent that any Schedule is not finalized
prior to execution hereof, the parties shall negotiate in good faith promptly to
complete and mutually agree upon the final Schedules therefor.
(b) Additional
Services. For a period not to exceed six (6) months following
the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller may mutually agree to create additional
Exhibits or amend Exhibit A to provide
other service or services (the “Additional Services”
and, together with the Initial Services, the “Transition Services”)
as the Parties may mutually agree. Each Exhibit describing Additional
Services shall set forth a description of such Additional Service, the time
period during which such Additional Service will be provided and any other terms
applicable thereto.
(c) Excluded
Services. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement
or on any Exhibit to the contrary, neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller
shall be obligated or expected to provide hereunder (i) any Transition Services
for the benefit of any Third Party; or (ii) any Transition Services that would
constitute a violation of Law or any Governmental Order.
(d) Cooperation. In
the event that there is nonperformance of any Transition Service as a result of
an event described in Section 7.1, 7.2,
7.3 or 7.4,
Seller shall cooperate in good faith as may be reasonably requested by Buyer to
resolve same.
Section
2.2. Fees. Except
to the extent that a schedule to Exhibit A specifies amounts to be paid to
Seller in respect of a certain Transition Service, such as reimbursement of
certain expenses incurred by Seller (which Buyer shall pay to Seller as provided
for therein), Seller shall otherwise provide the Transition Services without
charge.
Section
2.3. Taxes.
Buyer shall be responsible for the payment of all sales, use, value-added, gross
receipts and other similar Taxes (including, without limitation, all withholding
Taxes required by Law, but excluding Taxes based on Seller’s or its Affiliates’
net income or any withholding or similar employment taxes payable in connection
with the employment by Seller and its Affiliates of employees to provide the
Transition Services) imposed by applicable taxing authorities and attributable
to the supply of Transition Services to Buyer or any payment
hereunder. If Seller or any Affiliate of Seller is required to pay
any part of such Taxes, Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller or its applicable
Affiliate for such Taxes.
Section
2.4 Transition
Plan. The Parties shall within two weeks from the date hereof
mutually agree upon a detailed plan and timeline for the transition of the
services provided hereunder to Buyer at the earliest practical date, but in no
event later than the end of the Service Period, and shall notify each other as
to the identity of a single person to act as liaison for the totality of the
services to be provided hereunder (the “Transition Managers”). The Transition
Plan shall be based on the Schedules hereto
2
ARTICLE
III. TERM; TERMINATION
Section
3.1. Term. Unless otherwise
terminated pursuant to Section 3.2, this
Agreement shall terminate with respect to any Transition Service at the close of
business on the last day of the Service Period for such Service; provided, however, that up to
one (1) time for any Transition Service, the Parties may mutually agree to
extend the Service Period for a period not to exceed two (2) months for all or a
portion of such Transition Service provided that Seller or Buyer requests such
extension no later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Service
Period for such Transition Service (or such greater notice period as is
specified on the Exhibit for such Transition Service). Except with
respect to Transition Services extended pursuant to this Section 3.1, all
Transition Services hereunder shall automatically terminate on the last day of
the month in which the six (6)-month anniversary of the Closing Date
occurs. The parties acknowledge and agree that, with respect to any
Transition Service, in no event shall the last day of the Service Period for
such Transition Service (including Transition Services extended pursuant to this
Section 3.1) be
later than the last day of the month in which the eight (8)-month anniversary of
the Closing Date occurs. The term of this Agreement with respect to
the supply of Products, shall expire on the delivery of the last of the Products
required under Section 6.1.
Section
3.2. Termination.
(a) Termination for
Cause. Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty
(30) days notice by the terminating Party if the other Party becomes insolvent,
makes any assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or is placed in
receivership, liquidation or bankruptcy. Either Party may terminate
this Agreement upon thirty (30) days notice by the terminating Party upon the
breach of any material provision of this Agreement by the other Party if such
breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to the
Party in default; provided, however, Seller may terminate this Agreement on five
days notice if Buyer fails to pay any amount when due hereunder and fails to
remedy such failure within five days notice of such breach.
(b) Termination by
Buyer. Buyer shall have the right to terminate any or all of
the Transition Services provided hereunder by giving thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Seller of Buyer’s intention to terminate said Transition
Service(s), and such termination shall be effective at the end of the 30 day
notice period.
(c) Effect of
Termination. The termination, expiration, cancellation or
abandonment of this Agreement through any means or for any reason shall not
relieve the parties of any obligation accruing prior thereto and shall be
without prejudice to the rights and remedies of either Party with respect to any
antecedent breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor shall it
relieve Buyer of the obligation to pay the Service Fee.

ARTICLE
IV. STANDARDS
Section
4.1. Performance of Transition
Services.
(a) Performance
Standard. Seller shall perform and cause its Affiliates to
perform the Transition Services at a level and in a manner that is consistent
(in nature, quality and timeliness) with analogous services provided internally
by Seller immediately prior to the Closing Date. Buyer acknowledges
that (i) Seller makes no implied
representation or warranty concerning the Transition Services, including any
applicable implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a
particular purpose, and (ii) except as expressly set forth herein, Seller makes
no express representation or warranty concerning the Transition
Services.
(b) DISCLAIMER OF
WARRANTIES. NEITHER SELLER NOR ITS AFFILIATES NOR ANY OF THEIR
RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR REPRESENTATIVES MAKE OR HAVE MADE
ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY,
IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSITION SERVICES, SELLER, ITS AFFILIATES OR THEIR
RESPECTIVE BUSINESSES. BUYER AGREES THAT THE REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES GIVEN IN THIS SECTION 4.1 BY SELLER
ARE IN LIEU OF, AND BUYER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO, ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES WHICH MAY OTHERWISE BE APPLICABLE BECAUSE OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE
UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE OR ANY OTHER STATUTE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE

PURPOSE. THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY HEREUNDER

Section
4.2. Parties
to Perform Transition Services. Seller or any
Affiliate of Seller may perform Transition Services itself or through the use of
a Third Party (including, without limitation, any agent, subcontractor or
independent contractor); provided, however, that the use
of any Third Party by Seller or any Affiliate in performing Transition Services
shall not relieve Seller or its Affiliate of its obligations under this
Agreement. Each of Seller and Buyer shall identify personnel from its
organization located in or responsible for implementation of the Transition
Services and such personnel shall cooperate through the term of this Agreement
in order to facilitate transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

production schedule of the Products. If Seller is capable of
delivering Products faster than the schedule set forth in Section 6.1, it may
do so at its discretion. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to adhere to the foregoing delivery schedule, however, Seller
shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement if it is delayed or
prevented from producing Products due to labor disputes, breakdowns in utilities
infrastructure or transit systems, or disruptions in the supply of components or
subassemblies. In the event of any such delay or disruption that is
likely to interfere with the estimated delivery schedule, Seller shall promptly
notify Buyer of such problem, the potential impact on the production schedule,
and the measures that Seller intends to take to address the disruption causing
the delay, and Seller shall provide regular updates with respect to the progress
in overcoming the problem. Seller shall bear the reasonable costs of
the measures that it deems to be commercially reasonable to overcome such
problems, such as accelerating production on the resolution of the disruption,
procuring components from brokers, or modifying the design of the Product to
accommodate an alternative component or subassembly (and making any necessary
notifications thereof to the relevant governmental authorities).
Section
6.4 License. Buyer
hereby grants Seller a non-exclusive royalty-free license to use the Transferred
Intellectual Assets for the purpose of performing Buyer’s obligations
hereunder. Buyer will further cooperate and allow Seller to use any
other Acquired Asset that is necessary to perform Buyer’s obligations
hereunder.
ARTICLE
VII. FORCE MAJEURE; SUSPENSION OR MODIFICATION
Section
7.1. Force
Majeure. No Party shall be
liable to another Party if, and to the extent that, the performance or delay in
performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement is prevented,
restricted, delayed, made impracticable, interfered with or otherwise hindered
due to circumstances beyond the reasonable control of such Party, including, but
not limited to, changes in Law, the issuance of any Governmental Order, fire,
flood, explosion, epidemic, accident, acts of God, war, terrorism, sabotage,
riot, strike, lockout or other concerted acts of workers and/or acts of any
Governmental Authority. The Party claiming an event of force majeure
shall promptly notify the other Party in writing, and provide reasonable
particulars of the cause or event and the date of first occurrence thereof, as
soon as reasonably possible after the event and also keep the other Party
informed of any further developments. The Party so affected shall use
its reasonable best efforts to remove the cause of non-performance, and both
parties shall resume performance hereunder when such cause is removed unless
this Agreement has previously expired or been terminated in accordance with its
terms.
Section
7.2. Seller
Suspension. Buyer agrees that
the Transition Services may, from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of
Seller and/or its Affiliates, be interrupted, suspended, allocated, reduced,
altered or changed in whole or in part for modifications and ordinary
maintenance to the assets needed to provide Transition Services and any other
matters of a short-term nature (the “Service
Suspensions”); provided, that no
planned Service Suspension shall last more than five (5) Business
Days. Prior to any planned Service Suspension, Seller or an Affiliate
of Seller shall provide prior written notice thereof to Buyer of not less than
ten (10) Business Days and cooperate in good faith with Buyer to mitigate any
adverse consequences to Buyer of such Service Suspension.
5
Section
7.3. Governmental
Suspension. If any Law or
Governmental Order shall prevent, limit or restrict Seller or any Affiliate of
Seller in performing or arranging for the performance of any Transition Service
for providing facilities for such purposes, then, in any such event Seller shall
not be required to provide the Transition Services or facilities for the
Transition Services to the extent so prevented, limited or restricted; provided, however, that Seller
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cure the basis for any such Law or
Governmental Order and cooperate in good faith with Buyer to mitigate any
adverse consequences to Buyer of such prevention, limitation or
restriction.
Section
7.4. Modification
of Seller Facilities Required by Law. If any Law or
Governmental Order would require any modification of facilities used to provide
Transition Services or the provision of any additional facilities used to
provide Transition Services, then, unless otherwise agreed by Seller in writing,
neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller shall be required to provide (or
arrange for the provision of) the relevant Transition Services, but Seller or an
Affiliate of Seller shall cooperate in good faith with Buyer in Buyer’s efforts
to locate, at Buyer’s cost, a Third Party to provide such modified or additional
facilities for use in the Transition Services.
ARTICLE

creating, gathering, copying and transporting such Books and
Records.
(c) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, Seller shall not be required to: (i)
provide any such Books and Records in any specific form, condition or format,

shall Seller or its Affiliates be required to perform any improvement,
modification, conversion, updating or reformatting of any such Books and

specific understanding of Buyer and Seller that this Agreement shall not
constitute or give rise to a partnership between Buyer and Seller. Except as

its Affiliates as an independent contractor and not as an agent for or employee
of Buyer and this Agreement shall not constitute or give rise to an agency

from the performance of its obligations hereunder.

Section
9.9. Construction.
(a) Interpretive
Rules. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words
of similar import when used in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole
and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and all Article and
Section references are to this Agreement unless otherwise
specified. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” will be
deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “days” means
calendar days unless otherwise specified herein. The table of
contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes
only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this
Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to
require either party or their respective officers, directors, subsidiaries or
Affiliates to take any action which would violate or conflict with any
applicable Law. The word “if” means “if and only if.” The word “or”
shall not be exclusive. The meanings given to terms defined herein
will be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such

exchange rate published in the Wall Street Journal as of such

(b) The

references in this Agreement to any Article, Section or Exhibit refer to
Articles, Sections or Exhibits of this Agreement and any sub-section thereof and
any provision contained therein. The words “or” or “any” are not

reference.

representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any
document delivered by the other party pursuant hereto or (c) to the extent
permitted by applicable Law, waive compliance with any of the agreements of the
other party or conditions to such party’s obligations contained
herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth
in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound
thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed
as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or
condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this
Agreement. The failure of either party hereto to assert any of its
rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such
rights.
Section 9.11. No Third
Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein is intended
to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit
or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any
specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.
