Seller shall provide the Services or shall cause the Services to be provided to Purchaser in substantially the same manner as Seller generally provides such services or similar services to itself and its Affiliates.

(i) Seller shall, and as applicable, shall cause its Affiliates, representatives and Authorized Third Parties to, (i) comply in all material respects with applicable Laws

relating to the performance of the Services and (ii) observe and comply in all material respects with any reasonable confidentiality, security, privacy or other policies of Purchaser relating to the performance of the Services which have been provided to Seller reasonably in advance.

(j) To the extent permitted by Law and the applicable license or contract, Seller agrees to pass through to Purchaser any rights Seller may have with respect to Authorized Third Parties in connection with any failure by such Authorized Third Parties to comply in all material respects with applicable Laws relating to the performance of the Services or to observe and comply in all material respects with any reasonable confidentiality, security, privacy or other policies of Seller or Purchaser relating to the performance of the Services.

2.2 Service Coordinators. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall nominate a representative to act as the primary contact person with respect to the provision of the Services (each such person, a “Service Coordinator”). The Service Coordinators shall be managerial-level employees of Purchaser and Seller, as applicable. The names of the initial Service Coordinators, and each of their respective phone numbers, facsimile numbers and email addresses, are set forth on Schedule 2.2 attached hereto. Each of Seller and Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, change its Service Coordinator from time to time by providing written notice to the other Party of such change and the relevant contact information for the new Service Coordinator at least three (3) Business Days prior to such change taking effect. Unless Seller and Purchaser otherwise agree in writing, all communications relating to this Agreement or to the Services shall be directed to the Service Coordinators in accordance with Section 7.2 hereof.

2.3 Access and Cooperation. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, make available on a timely basis to Seller, its Affiliates and each Authorized Third Party such Information, cooperation and assistance reasonably requested by Seller, its Affiliates or such Authorized Third Party to enable Seller, its Affiliates or such Authorized Third Party to provide the Services. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, provide to Seller, its Affiliates or the Authorized Third Party reasonable access to the premises of Purchaser and such Affiliates and the systems, software and networks located therein, to the extent necessary for the purpose of providing the Services. Seller shall ensure that it, its Affiliates and each other Authorized Third Party complies in all material respects with applicable Law and Purchaser’s security and other policies and procedures, as may be provided to Seller by Purchaser in writing from time to time.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall not be obligated to provide, or cause to be provided, any Service or make available, or cause to be made available, to Purchaser the benefit of any third-party license or contract to the extent that such an action would violate the terms of Seller’s or its Affiliate’s license or contract with any third party, require Seller or its Affiliates to commence any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party to obtain any such license, approval or consent, or that would otherwise require the payment by Seller or its Affiliates of additional fees or other consideration not reimbursed by Purchaser hereunder.

2.6 Compliance by Seller’s Personnel. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any Persons engaged in providing the Services on behalf of Seller (the “Personnel”) (i) comply with all of Purchaser’s reasonable and lawful requests, directions or regulations made known to Seller in relation to the safety and security of Purchaser’s premises, property or personnel and (ii) at all times while on Purchaser’s premises, maintain standards of conduct, efficiency, punctuality and attire that comply with Purchaser’s reasonable and lawful requests that are made known to Seller.

If any term or other provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and

7.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Purchase Agreement, the other Ancillary Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement, contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

7.5 Assignment. Except as explicitly provided herein, neither Party may directly or indirectly transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however; that Purchaser shall be entitled to assign (without the consent of Seller) any or all of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to a Person that acquires all or substantially all of the DCB Business from Purchaser so long as Purchaser nonetheless remains fully responsible for the performance of all of its obligations hereunder. Any purported transfer or delegation in violation of this Section 7.5 shall be null and void.

7.6 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the rights granted under Section 5.3, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

7.7 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by the Parties.

7.8 Disputes. In the event of any controversy or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Service Coordinators shall in good faith attempt to resolve such dispute.

7.9 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement, the rights of the Parties and all Proceedings arising in whole or in part under or in connection herewith shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any conflicts of law principles of such state that might apply the law of another jurisdiction.

(b) With respect to any Proceeding relating to this Agreement, each Party irrevocably (i) agrees and consents to be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or any Delaware State court sitting in the City of Wilmington and (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any

time to the laying of venue of any Proceeding brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceeding, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such Party. The foregoing consent to jurisdiction shall not constitute general consent to service of process in the State of Delaware for any purpose except as provided above and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the respective Parties to this Agreement. Each of Seller and Purchaser irrevocably agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by United States registered mail to such Party’s address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any Proceeding in Delaware with respect to any matters for which it has submitted to jurisdiction pursuant to this Section 7.9(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party may commence any Proceeding in any court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by any of the above-named courts.

(c) EACH OF PURCHASER AND SELLER HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION AS BETWEEN THE PARTIES DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY OR DISPUTES RELATING HERETO OR THERETO. EACH OF PURCHASER AND SELLER (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.9(c)

7.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Party (including by facsimile or pdf attachment), it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart.

7.11 No Presumption. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring either Party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

7.12 Relationship of the Parties. It is expressly understood and agreed that in rendering the Services hereunder, each of the Parties is acting as an independent contractor and

that this Agreement does not make the providing Party an employee, agent or other representative of the other Party for any purpose whatsoever. Neither Party has the right or authority to enter into any contract, warranty, guarantee or other undertaking in the name or for the account of the other Party, or to assume or create any obligation or liability of any kind, express or implied, on behalf of the other Party, or to bind the other Party in any manner whatsoever, or to hold itself out as having any right, power or authority to create any such obligation or liability on behalf of the other Party or to bind the other Party in any manner whatsoever (except as to any actions taken by a Party at the express written request and direction of the other Party). No employee, contractor or subcontractor of either Party shall be deemed to be an employee, contractor or subcontractor of the other Party, it being fully understood and agreed that no employee of either Party is entitled to benefits or compensation from the other Party. Each Party is wholly responsible for withholding and payment of all applicable national, state and local and other payroll taxes with respect to its own employees, including any contributions from them as required by Law.

7.13 Availability of Equitable Relief. The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof. Accordingly, prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VI, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by a Party of its obligations under this Agreement prior to the Closing, the affected Party shall be entitled to equitable relief (including specific performance of the terms hereof) without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to such other Party.

7.14 Construction of Agreements. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event and to the extent that there shall be a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, the provisions of the Purchase Agreement shall control.

7.15 Force Majeure. Seller shall not be responsible to Purchaser under this Agreement for failure or delay in performing any obligations under this Agreement (other than obligations regarding payment of money or confidentiality) due to factors beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, war, terrorism, hostilities, sabotage, revolution, riot, civil commotion, national emergency, strikes, lock-outs, failure of supplies of power or fuel, mechanical or equipment failures, prohibitions against imports or exports of any product, impossibility of obtaining components or a force majeure affecting a supplier of components that results in a shortage of supply of components, epidemics, explosion, fire, flood, earthquake, force of nature, natural disaster or any other act of God, or any Law, proclamation, regulation, ordinance, embargo, or other act or order of any court or Governmental Authority, each to the extent the same are beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party (each such factor, a “Force Majeure”). Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure, the Party failing or delaying performance shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the other Party.
