3
ARTICLE III
SERVICES
Section 3.01 Services Generally.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in the Transition Service Schedule, for the Term hereof, L-3 shall provide or cause to be provided to Engility the Services described in the Transition Service Schedules.
(b) Each of the services on the Transition Service Schedule shall be referred to herein as a “Service.” Collectively, the services described on all the Transition Service Schedules shall be referred to herein as the “Services.”
(c) During the Term (as defined below), Service Recipient may request any Service that it deems reasonably necessary for the ongoing operation of the Spinco Business in substantially the manner that it was conducted immediately prior to the Distribution. Service Provider will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide all such requested Services to Service Recipient, but only if such Services were provided to Service Recipient prior to the Distribution Date, except in the event of an Impracticability or as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
Section 3.02 Service Levels. Except as otherwise provided in the Transition Service Schedule for a specific Service: (a) the Service Provider shall provide the Services only to the extent such Services are being provided immediately prior to the Distribution Date and at a level of service substantially similar to that provided immediately prior to the Distribution Date and (ii) the Services will be available only for purposes of conducting the business of the Service Recipient substantially in the manner it was conducted prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement will require the Service Provider to favor the Service Recipient over its other business operations. All Services are provided on an “as is” basis, and L-3 is permitted to modify all Services as it sees fit in the ordinary course of its business.
Section 3.03 Impracticability. The Service Provider shall not be required to provide any Service to the extent the performance of such Service becomes impracticable due to cause or causes outside the reasonable control of the Service Provider, including, without limitation, failure of the Service Recipient to comply with Section 6.01, unfeasible technological requirements, or to the extent the performance of such Services would require the Service Provider to violate any applicable Law, or would result in the breach of any license, Governmental Authorization or Contract (each, an “Impracticability”).
Section 3.04 Additional Resources. In accordance with Section 6.07 below and except as specifically provided in a Transition Service Schedule for a specific Service, in providing the Services, the Service Provider shall not be obligated to: (a) hire any additional employees; (b) maintain the employment of any specific employee; (c) purchase, lease or license any additional facilities, equipment or software; or (d) pay any costs related to the transfer or conversion of the Service Recipient’s data to the Service Provider or any alternate supplier of Services.
4
Section 3.05 Additional Services. The Transition Service Schedules may be amended at any time by mutually agreed upon amendment of this Agreement to add additional Services. The charges for such additional Services shall be as set forth in the amended Transition Service Schedules.
ARTICLE IV
TERM
The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Distribution Date and end 18 months following the Distribution Date, unless earlier terminated under Article VII (the “Term”, and the last day of the Term, the “Expiration Date”). The Parties may agree on an earlier expiration date respecting a specific Service by specifying such date on the Transition Service Schedule for that Service. Services shall be provided up to and including the date set forth in the applicable Transition Service Schedule, subject to earlier termination as provided in Article VII. It shall be the sole responsibility of the Service Recipient, upon and after expiration or early termination of this Agreement with respect to a specific Service, to perform, render and provide for itself (or to make arrangements with one or more Third Party service providers to perform, render and provide) such Service, and to do all necessary planning and make all necessary preparations in connection therewith.
ARTICLE V
COMPENSATION
Section 5.01 Charges for Services. The Service Recipient shall pay (a) the Service Provider or (b) the Third Party service provider, as applicable, (i) the Dollar value charges, or (ii) the charges determined by the method, in either case, if any, set forth on the Transition Service Schedules for each of the Services listed therein, or, if no such charges are specifically indicated otherwise, by the Fair Market Value of the Services. If there is any inconsistency between the Transition Services Schedule and this Section 5.01, the terms of the Transition Service Schedule shall govern.
Section 5.02 Payment Terms. Except as otherwise specified in a Transition Service Schedule, the Service Provider shall invoice the Service Recipient monthly (or on such other basis as the Parties may mutually determine) for all charges for Services to be paid to the Service Provider as set forth on the Transition Service Schedules pursuant to this Agreement. Such invoices shall generally identify the Services provided to the Service Recipient during the preceding month and specify the Service fee applicable to each Service so identified. Except as otherwise specified in a Transition Service Schedule, the Service Recipient shall pay the Service Provider for all such Services within 30 days after receipt of an invoice therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Service Provider for this purpose. Late payments shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus 2.0%, calculated for the actual number of days elapsed, accrued from and excluding the date on which such payment was due up to and including the date of payment. Late payment for any Service provided hereunder shall entitle Service Provider to suspend, at Service Provider’s sole discretion, the provision of any or all Services to Service Recipient hereunder.
5
Section 5.03 Taxes. The fees and charges payable by the Service Recipient under this Agreement and set forth on the Transition Service Schedules shall be exclusive of any Sales Taxes or excise Taxes or any customs or import charges or duties or any similar charges or duties which may be imposed by any Governmental Entity in connection with the purchase or delivery of the Services or materials to the Service Recipient. The Service Recipient shall remit to the Service Provider any Sales Taxes properly payable to the Service Provider pursuant to this Agreement. Applicable Sales Taxes shall be indicated by the Service Provider separately on all of the Service Provider’s invoices. The Parties shall cooperate with each other to minimize any applicable Sales Taxes and each shall provide the other with any reasonable certificates or documents which are useful for such purpose.
Section 5.04 Records and Audits. Service Provider shall maintain detailed books and records of the costs on which the fees charged to Service Recipient hereunder have been based. Service Recipient shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to have the applicable books and records of Service Provider audited by a nationally recognized independent certified public accountant, mutually selected by the Parties, under appropriate confidentiality provisions, for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of all fees and out-of-pocket cost calculations under this Agreement. Any such audit shall be conducted no more than twice during the Term and shall be conducted upon at least thirty (30) days’ advance notice during normal business hours and in a manner that does not interfere unreasonably with Service Provider’s business. The results of any such audit shall be binding on the Parties absent manifest error, and shall be delivered in writing to each Party. Any underpayment or overbilling determined by such audit shall promptly be paid by Service Recipient or refunded by Service Provider, as applicable, plus interest at a rate of simple interest per annum equal to the Applicable Rate, from the date of any such underpayment or overbilling.
ARTICLE VI
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS
Section 6.01 Performance Metrics. Subject to Article III and any other term or condition of this Agreement, each Party shall maintain sufficient resources to perform their obligations hereunder. Any specific performance metrics for the Service Provider or the Third Party service provider for a specific Service may be set forth in the corresponding Transition Service Schedule. Where none is set forth, the Service Provider shall (consistent with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide Services, or to cause the Services to be provided, in accordance with the policies, procedures, service levels and practices in effect before the Distribution Date and shall exercise the same care and skill as the Service Provider exercises in performing similar services for itself. To the extent within the possession and control of the Service Recipient, the Service Recipient shall (i) provide, and shall cause the other relevant members of the Engility Group to provide, the Service Provider with any and all information and documentation, and (ii) take actions and make decisions in a timely manner, in each case sufficient for the Service Provider to perform the Services it is obligated to perform hereunder (and to perform its obligation to cause the Services to be provided, where applicable) as they were performed before the Distribution Date and shall make available, as reasonably requested by the Service Provider, sufficient resources and timely decisions, approvals and acceptances in order that the Service Provider may perform its obligations hereunder in a timely manner.
6
Section 6.02 Disclaimer of Warranties. No Party makes any warranties or conditions, express, implied, conventional or statutory, including but not limited to, the implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, of quality or fitness for a particular purpose, with respect to the Services or other items or deliverables provided by it or any Third Party service provider.
Section 6.03 Transitional Nature of Services; Changes. The Parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services and that the Service Provider may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services if the Service Provider is making similar changes in performing similar services for itself.
Section 6.04 Responsibilities for Errors; Changes. Except as set forth in Article XIII, the Service Provider’s sole responsibility to the Service Recipient:
(a) for material errors or omissions in Services, shall be to furnish correct information, payment and/or adjustment in the Services, at no additional cost or expense to the Service Recipient; provided, that the Service Provider must promptly advise the Service Recipient of any such material error or omission of which it becomes aware; and
(b) for failure to deliver any Service because of Impracticability, shall be to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts, subject to Section 3.03, to make the Services available or to resume performing the Services as promptly as reasonably practicable.
Section 6.05 Cooperation and Consents. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in all matters relating to the provision and receipt of Services. Such cooperation shall include exchanging information, performing true-ups and adjustments and obtaining all Third Party Consents, licenses or sublicenses necessary to permit each Party to perform its obligations hereunder (including by way of example, not by way of limitation, rights to use Third Party software needed for the performance of Services). Pursuant to Section 10.03, the costs of obtaining such Third Party Consents, licenses or sublicenses shall be borne by the Service Recipient.
Section 6.06 Alternatives. If the Service Provider reasonably believes it is unable to provide any Service because of a failure to obtain necessary Consents, licenses or sublicenses pursuant to Section 6.05 or because of Impracticability, the Parties shall reasonably and in good faith cooperate to determine the best alternative approach. Until such alternative approach is found or the problem otherwise resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Parties, the Service Provider shall not be obligated to continue providing the Service. To the extent an agreed upon alternative approach requires the occurrence of costs or expenditures above and beyond that which is included in the Service Provider’s charge for the Service in question, such additional costs and expenditures shall be discussed between the Parties and, unless otherwise agreed, be borne by the Service Recipient.
Section 6.07 Personnel.
(a) Right to Designate and Change Personnel. The Service Provider will have the right to designate which personnel it will assign to perform the Services. The Service Provider also will have the right to remove and replace any such personnel at any time or
7
designate any of its Affiliates or a Subcontractor at any time to perform the Services, pursuant to Article IX; provided, however, that the Service Provider will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to limit the disruption to the Service Recipient in the transition of the Services to different personnel or to a Subcontractor. In the event that personnel with the designated level of experience are not then employed by the Service Provider, the Service Provider will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide such personnel or Subcontractor personnel having an adequate level of experience; provided, however, that the Service Provider will have no obligation to retain any individual employee for the sole purpose of providing the applicable Services.
(b) Financial Responsibility. The Service Provider will directly pay for all personnel expenses, including wages, of its employees performing the Services.
(c) Service Managers and Service Recipient Representatives. During the Term of this Agreement, the Parties will appoint (i) in the case of the Service Provider, one of its employees (the “Service Manager”) for each Service as indicated in each Transition Service Schedule who will have responsibility for managing and coordinating the delivery of such Service and (ii) in the case of the Service Recipient, one of its employees (the “Service Recipient Representative”) for each Service as indicated in each Transition Service Schedule who will have responsibility for managing and coordinating the Service Recipient’s utilization of such Service. The Service Managers will coordinate and consult with the Service Recipient Representatives. The Parties may, at their discretion, select other individuals to serve in these capacities during the Term of this Agreement upon providing notice to the other Party. For greater certainty, a Service Manager or a Service Recipient Representative may serve as such in respect of one or more Transition Service Schedules.
Section 6.08 Insurance. Each Party shall obtain and maintain at its own expense insurance of the type generally maintained in the ordinary course of its business. The Service Provider shall not be required to obtain and maintain any particular insurance in relation to providing any Service.
ARTICLE VII
TERMINATION
Section 7.01 Termination. Service Recipient may terminate any Service, with or without cause, at any time upon at least 60 days’ prior notice to the Service Provider, except with respect to the Services described on Transition Service Schedule No. 1 (Ethics Training Module System), Xx. 0 (Xxxxxx/Xxxxxxx Xxxxx), Xx. 0 (Health/Welfare Services Support), No. 11 (File 2012 Federal Income Tax Return) and No. 12 (Travel Program), each of which Services shall remain in effect until the termination date for such Service as indicated on the applicable Transition Service Schedule. As soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of any such early termination notice, the Service Provider shall advise the Service Recipient as to whether termination of such Service will (a) require the termination or partial termination of, or otherwise affect the provision of, certain other Services or (b) result in any early termination costs, including those related to Subcontractors. In the event that such termination is expected by the Service Provider to result in any early termination costs, the Service Provider will provide to the Service Recipient such information as it has reasonably available regarding the estimated amount
8
of such costs, which in the case of a Subcontractor may be based upon information provided by such Subcontractor. Any early termination costs shall be borne by the Service Recipient as set forth in Section 7.03.
In addition, the Parties agree that either Party may terminate this Agreement (and the corresponding Transition Service Schedule) with respect to a specific Service upon providing notice to the other Party in the event that an Event of Default occurs in relation to such other Party, and such termination shall take effect immediately upon the non-defaulting Party providing such notice to the other (except as otherwise specified in clause (c) below).
For the purposes of this Agreement, each of the following shall individually and collectively constitute an “Event of Default”:
(a) in relation to the Service Recipient, if the Service Recipient defaults in payment to the Service Provider of any payments which are due and payable by it to the Service Provider pursuant to this Agreement, and such default is not cured within 15 days following receipt by the Service Recipient of notice of such default;
(b) either Party breaches any of its material obligations to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement (other than as set out in paragraph (a) above), and fails to cure it within 30 days after receipt of written notice from the non-defaulting Party specifying the default in reasonable detail and demanding that it be rectified; provided, that if such breach is not capable of being cured within 30 days after receipt of such written notice and the Party in default has diligently pursued efforts to cure the default within the 30 day period, no Event of Default under this paragraph (b) shall occur; and provided, further, that no failure of the Service Provider to provide any Services shall constitute an “Event of Default” if such failure is a result of the Service Recipient’s failure to comply with its obligations under the final sentence of Section 6.01 in all respects; and
(c) either Party (i) is bankrupt or insolvent or takes the benefit of any statute in force for bankrupt or insolvent debtors, or (ii) files a proposal or takes any action or proceeding before any court of competent jurisdiction for its dissolution, winding-up or liquidation, or for the liquidation of its assets, or a receiver is appointed in respect of its assets, which order, filing or appointment is not rescinded within 60 days.
Section 7.02 Survival. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any termination or expiration with respect to one or more Services, but less than all Services, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any Services not terminated or expired. Section 5.04 and Articles VII, X, XII, XIII and XV shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement in accordance with its terms (where applicable).
Section 7.03 Payment. Immediately following the Expiration Date, the Service Provider shall cease, or cause its Subcontractors to cease, providing the Services, and the Service Recipient shall promptly pay or cause the other relevant members of the Engility Group to which it belongs, to promptly pay all fees accrued pursuant to Article V but unpaid to the Service Provider.
9
Section 7.04 User ID; Passwords. The Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement or of any specific Service hereto to ensure that access by one Party to the other Party’s systems is cancelled.
ARTICLE VIII
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES
The Service Provider is and will remain at all times an independent contractor in the performance of all Services hereunder. In all matters relating to this Agreement, the Service Provider will be solely responsible for the acts of its employees and agents, and employees or agents of the Service Provider shall not be considered employees or agents of the Service Recipient. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Service Provider will not have any right, power or authority to create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the Service Recipient nor shall the Service Provider act or represent or hold itself out as having authority to act as an agent or partner of the Service Recipient, or in any way bind or commit the Service Recipient to any obligations. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create or constitute a joint venture, partnership, agency, trust or other association of any kind between the Parties or Persons referred to herein, and each Party shall be responsible only for its respective obligations as set forth in this Agreement. Neither the Service Provider nor its employees shall be considered an employee or agent of the Service Recipient for any purpose, except as expressly agreed by the Parties. The Service Provider shall have sole responsibility for the supervision, daily direction and control, payment of salary (including withholding of income taxes and deductions at source), worker’s compensation, disability benefits and the like of its employees.
ARTICLE IX
SUBCONTRACTORS
The Service Provider may engage a “Subcontractor” to perform all or any portion of the Service Provider’s duties under this Agreement.

Section 10.03 Third Party Software. In addition to the consideration set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, the Service Recipient shall also pay any amounts (and applicable
10
Sales Taxes) that are required to be paid to any licensors of software that is used by the Service Provider (other than as a part of its normal operations), to the extent that such software is used in connection with the provision of any Service hereunder, and any amounts (and applicable Sales Taxes) that are required to be paid by the Service Provider to any such licensors to obtain the Consent of such licensors to allow the Service Provider to provide any of the Services hereunder.
Section 10.04 Termination of Licenses. Any license granted hereunder by the Service Provider shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the expiration or early termination of this Agreement or the termination of the particular Service associated with the granted license, if earlier.
ARTICLE XI

Neither Party assumes any responsibility or obligation whatsoever, other than the responsibilities and obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement (including the schedules hereto), in the Distribution Agreement or in a separate written agreement between the Parties.
ARTICLE XII
CONFIDENTIALITY
Section 12.01 Confidentiality. The terms of the Confidentiality provisions set forth in Article XI of the Distribution Agreement shall apply to all Confidential Information disclosed in the course of the Parties’ interactions under this Agreement.
