SERVICES, DURATION AND SERVICES MANAGERS

Section 2.01 Services. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) Pentair shall provide or cause, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to be provided to the nVent Group the services listed on Schedule A to this Agreement (the “Pentair Services”) and (ii) nVent shall provide or cause, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to be provided to the Pentair Group the services listed

-3-

on Schedule B to this Agreement (the “nVent Services”, and, collectively with the Pentair Services, any Additional Services, any Service Increases and any New Services, the “Services”). For the avoidance of doubt, Services provided in different regions or countries (as indicated by such Services being listed on different subparts of the Schedules hereto) shall be considered separate Services hereunder, notwithstanding that such Services may be similar in nature. All of the Services shall be for the sole use and benefit of the respective Recipient and its respective Party.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Schedule, the applicable Provider shall have no obligation under this Agreement to: (i) operate the Recipient or any of its Affiliates or any portion thereof; (ii) advance funds; or (iii) expand its facilities or incur long-term capital expenses in order to provide the Services. The respective obligations of the Provider to provide the Services are conditioned upon being provided with reasonable access during regular business hours to, and all necessary rights to utilize, the Recipient’s facilities, personnel, assets, systems and technologies to the extent reasonably requested by the Provider, in each case to the extent necessary in connection with the performance of such Provider’s obligations hereunder.

Section 2.02 Duration of Services. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each of Pentair and nVent shall provide or cause to be provided to the respective Recipients each Service until the earlier to occur of, with respect to each such Service, (a) twenty-four (24) months following the Distribution Date; (b) the expiration of the term for such Service (or, subject to the terms of Section 8.01(c), the expiration of any Service Extension) as set forth on Schedule A or Schedule B (each a “Schedule”, and collectively, the “Schedules”), (c) the date on which such Service is terminated under Section 8.01(b) or (d) the date on which this Agreement is terminated in its entirety by the mutual written agreement of the Parties pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(ii).

Section 2.03 Additional Unspecified Services. (a) After the date of this Agreement, if nVent or Pentair (i) identifies a service that (x) the Pentair Group provided to the nVent Group in the twelve (12) months prior to the Distribution Date that nVent reasonably needs in order for the Electrical Business to continue to operate in substantially the same manner in which the Electrical Business operated prior to the Distribution Date, and such service was not included on Schedule A (other than because the Parties agreed such service shall not be provided), or (y) the nVent Group provided to the Pentair Group in the twelve (12) monthsprior to the Distribution Date that Pentair reasonably needs in order for the Pentair Business to continue to operate in substantially the same manner in which the Pentair Business operated prior to the Distribution Date, and such service was not included on Schedule B (other than because the Parties agreed such service shall not be provided), and (ii) provides written notice to the other Party during the one hundred eighty (180) day period immediately following the date hereof requesting such additional services, then such other Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such requested additional services (such requested additional services, the “Additional Services”); provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to provide any Additional Service if it does not, in its reasonable judgment, have adequate resources to provide such Additional Service or if the provision of such Additional Service would significantly disrupt the operation of its businesses; and provided, further, that the Provider shall not be required to provide any Additional Services if the Parties are unable to reach agreement on the terms thereof (including with respect to Service Charges therefor). In connection with any request for Additional Services in accordance with this Section 2.03(a), the Pentair Services Manager and the nVent Services Manager shall in good faith negotiate the terms of a supplement to the applicable Schedule, which terms shall be consistent with the terms of, and the pricing methodology used for, similar Services provided under this Agreement. Upon the mutual written agreement of the Parties, the supplement to the applicable Schedule shall describe in reasonable detail the nature, scope, service period(s), termination provisions and other terms applicable to such Additional Services in a manner similar to that in which the Services are described in the existing Schedules. Each supplement to the applicable Schedule, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of

-4-

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.

(b) After the date of this Agreement, if (i) a Recipient requests to increase, relative to historical levels prior to the Distribution Date, the volume, amount, level or frequency, as applicable, of any Service provided by such Provider and (ii) such increase is reasonably determined by the Recipient as necessary for the Recipient to operate its businesses (such increases, the “Service Increases”), then such Provider shall consider such request in good faith; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to provide any Service Increase, including because, after good- faith negotiations between the Parties, the Parties fail to reach an agreement with respect to the terms thereof (including with respect to Service Charges therefor). In connection with any request for Service Increases in accordance with this Section 2.03(b), the Pentair Services Manager and the nVent Services Manager shall in good faith negotiate the terms of an amendment to the applicable Schedule, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of, and the pricing methodology used for, the applicable Service. Each amended Schedule, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and the Service Increases set forth therein shall be deemed a part of the Services provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), and without limiting the remainder of this clause (c), the Provider shall not be obligated to perform or to cause to be performed any Service in a volume or quantity in any fiscal year that exceeds the highest volumes or quantities of analogous services provided to Pentair’s applicable functional group or Subsidiary during fiscal year 2017 (without reference to the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement) (the “Service Baseline Period”). If the Recipient requests that the 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 Pentair or its applicable functional group or Subsidiary during the Service Baseline Period, then: (i) if such higher volume or quantity results from fluctuations occurring in the ordinary course of business of the Recipient, the 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 the Recipient, the Parties shall cooperate and act in good faith to determine whether the Provider shall provide such requested higher volume or quantity. If the Parties agree that the Provider shall provide the requested higher volume or quantity, then Pentair and nVent shall document such terms in an amendment to the applicable Schedule, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of, and the pricing methodology used for, the applicable Service. Each amended subsection of the applicable Schedule hereto, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and the volume or quantity increases set forth therein shall be deemed a part of the Services provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 2.04 New Services. (a) From time to time during the term of this Agreement, either Party may request the other Party to provide additional or different services which such other Party is not expressly obligated to provide under this Agreement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Additional Services or Service Increases, the “New Services”). The Party receiving such request shall consider such request in good faith; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to provide any New Services, including because, after negotiations between the Parties pursuant to Section 2.04(b), the Parties fail to reach an agreement with respect to the terms (including the Service Charges) applicable to the provision of such New Services.

(b) In connection with any request for New Services in accordance with Section 2.04(a), the Pentair Services Manager and the nVent Services Manager shall in good faith (i) negotiate the applicable Service Charge and the terms of a supplement to the applicable Schedule, which supplement shall

-5-

describe in reasonable detail the nature, scope, service period(s), termination provisions and other terms applicable to such New Services, and (ii) determine any costs and expenses, including any start-up costs and expenses, that would be incurred by the Provider in connection with the provision of such New Services, which costs and expenses shall be borne equally by the Parties. Each supplement to the applicable Schedule, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and the New 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 2.05 Services Not Included. It is not the intent of the Provider to render, nor of the Recipient to receive from the Provider, professional advice or opinions, whether with regard to Tax, legal, treasury, finance, employment or other business and financial matters, technical advice, whether with regard to information technology or other matters, or the handling of or addressing environmental matters; the Recipient shall not rely on, or construe, any Service rendered by or on behalf of the Provider as such professional advice or opinions or technical advice; and the Recipient shall seek all third-party professional advice and opinions or technical advice as it may desire or need. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service to the extent that the manner of such performance would constitute a violation of: (a) applicable Law, (b) any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Provider’s organizational documents or (c) any existing contract or agreement with a third party. Without limitation to the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service that would require (x) an amendment to the Provider’s organizational documents or (y) a change in the Provider’s legal form.

Section 2.06 Transition Services Managers. (a) Pentair hereby appoints and designates the individual holding the Pentair position set forth on Exhibit I to act as its initial services manager (the “Pentair Services Manager”), who will be directly responsible for coordinating and managing the delivery of the Pentair Services and have authority to act on Pentair’s behalf with respect to matters relating to the provision of Services under this Agreement. The Pentair Services Manager will work with the personnel of the Pentair Group to periodically address issues and matters raised by nVent relating to the provision of Services under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 9.06, all communications from nVent to Pentair pursuant to this Agreement regarding routine matters involving a Service shall be made through the individual specified as the local service manager (the “Pentair Local Service Manager”) with respect to such Service on the applicable Schedule or such other individual as may be specified by the Pentair Services Manager in writing and delivered to nVent by email or facsimile transmission with receipt confirmed. Pentair shall notify nVent of the appointment of a different Pentair Services Manager or Pentair Local Service Manager(s), if necessary, in accordance with Section 9.06.

(b) nVent hereby appoints and designates the individual holding the nVent position set forth on Exhibit I to act as its initial services manager (the “nVent Services Manager”), who will be directly responsible for coordinating and managing the delivery of the nVent Services and have authority to act on nVent’s behalf with respect to matters relating to the provision of Services under this Agreement. The nVent Services Manager will work with the personnel of the nVent Group to periodically address issues and matters raised by Pentair relating to the provision of Services under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 9.06, all communications from Pentair to nVent pursuant to this Agreement regarding routine matters involving a Service shall be made through the individual specified as the local service manager (the “nVent Local Service Manager”) with respect to such Service on the applicable Schedule or such other individual as may be specified by the nVent Services Manager in writing and delivered to Pentair by email or facsimile transmission with receipt confirmed. nVent shall notify Pentair of the appointment of a different nVent Services Manager or nVent Local Service Manager(s), if necessary, in accordance with Section 9.06.

-6-

Section 2.07 Personnel. (a) The Provider of any Service will make available to the Recipient of such Service such personnel as may be necessary to provide such Service on the understanding that such personnel shall remain employed and/or engaged by the Provider. The Provider will have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to (i) designate which personnel it will assign to perform such Service, and (ii) remove and replace such personnel at any time; provided, however, that any such removal or replacement shall not be the basis for any increase in any Service Charge or Reimbursement Charge payable hereunder or relieve the Provider of its obligation to provide any Service hereunder; and provided, further, that the Provider will use its commercially reasonable efforts to limit the disruption to the Recipient in the transition of the Services to different personnel.

(b) In the event that the provision of any Service by the Provider requires the cooperation and services of the personnel of the Recipient, the Recipient will make available to the Provider such personnel (who shall be appropriately qualified for purposes of so supporting the provision of such Service by the Provider) as may be necessary for the Provider to provide such Service on the understanding that such personnel shall remain employed and/or engaged by the Recipient. The Recipient will have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to (i) designate which personnel it will make available to the Provider in connection with the provision of such Service, and (ii) remove and replace such personnel at any time; provided, however, that any resulting increase in costs to the Provider shall be borne by the Recipient and any adverse effect to the provision of such Service by the Provider shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement; and provided, further, that the Recipient will use its commercially reasonable efforts to limit the disruption to the Provider in the transition of such personnel. If the Provider, in its reasonable discretion and following discussions with the Recipient, requests the Recipient to remove and/or replace any such personnel from their roles in respect of the Services being provided by the Provider, the Recipient shall comply with such request.

(c) No Provider shall be liable under this Agreement for any Liabilities incurred by the Recipient Indemnified Parties that are primarily attributable to, or that are a consequence of, any actions or inactions of the personnel of the Recipient, except for any such actions or inactions undertaken pursuant to the direction of the Provider.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall grant the Provider, or its employees, agents and third-party providers that are performing the Services, the right directly or indirectly to control or direct the operations of the Recipient or any member of its Group. Such employees, agents and third-party providers shall not be required to report to the management of the Recipient nor be deemed to be under the management or direction of the Recipient. The Recipient acknowledges and agrees that, except as may be expressly set forth herein as a Service (including any Additional Services, Service Increases or New Services) or otherwise expressly set forth in the Separation Agreement, another Ancillary Agreement or any other applicable agreement, no Provider or any member of its Group shall be obligated to provide, or cause to be provided, any service or goods to any Recipient or any member of its Group.

Section 2.08 Intellectual Property. If, in the course of providing any Service, a Provider or any of its Affiliates creates or develops any Intellectual Property solely for the benefit of the Recipient and paid for by the Recipient (“Newly Developed IP”), then as between the Parties, such Newly Developed IP shall be solely and exclusively owned by such Recipient upon creation or development and shall be deemed a “work made for hire” under applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent any Newly Developed IP would not qualify as a “work made for hire” under applicable Law, the Provider of such Newly Developed IP shall assign and transfer to the applicable Recipient, all of such Provider’s and its Affiliates’ right, title and interest in, to and under such Newly Developed IP. The parties hereto shall take any and all actions and execute any and all other documents reasonably necessary to perfect, confirm and record the applicable Recipient’s ownership of such Newly Developed IP as contemplated in this Section 2.08.

-7-

Section 2.09 Local Agreements. (a) Pentair and nVent each recognize and agree that there may be a need to document the Services provided hereunder in various countries from time to time. If such an agreement is required by applicable Law, in the reasonable determination of Pentair and nVent, or Pentair and nVent mutually determine it to be necessary or desirable, in order for Providers to provide the Services in a particular country, Pentair and nVent shall cause the appropriate Affiliates of Pentair and nVent, respectively, to enter into local implementing agreements (each, a “Local Agreement”); provided, however, that the execution or performance of any such Local Agreement shall in no way alter or modify any term or condition hereof nor the effect thereof, except to the extent, and only to the extent, as expressly specified in such Local Agreement. Except as used in this Section 2.09, any references herein to this Agreement and the Services to be provided hereunder, shall include any Local Agreement and the Services to be provided thereunder.

(b) In accordance with Section 9.11, Pentair and nVent may from time to time agree in writing to amend any terms of this Agreement and in such cases such amendment will be deemed to amend the terms of all Local Agreements.

ARTICLE III
PENTAIR MATERIALS

Section 3.01 Corporate Policies. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Pentair grants to nVent a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide license to create or have created materials based on Pentair’s corporate policies and manuals (the “Pentair Materials”) for distribution to employees of nVent and use such materials in the operation of the Electrical Business in substantially the same manner as the Pentair Materials were used by Pentair prior to the Distribution Date. It is understood and agreed that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, Pentair makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the Pentair Materials, as to whether the Pentair Materials comply with Law, as to the non-infringement of any of the Pentair Materials or as to the suitability of any of the Pentair Materials for use by nVent in respect of its business, or otherwise.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the text of any materials created by or for nVent, and related to, or based upon, any of the Pentair Materials, may not contain any references to Pentair (or any of Pentair’s marks, names, trade dress, logos or other source or business identifiers, including the Pentair Name and Pentair Marks), Pentair’s publications, Pentair’s personnel (including senior management), Pentair’s management structures or any other indication (other than the verbatim or paraphrased reproduction of the content) that such materials are based upon any of the Pentair Materials.

Section 3.02 Limitation on Rights and Obligations with Respect to the Pentair Materials. After the Distribution Date, Pentair shall have no obligation to (i) notify nVent of any changes or proposed changes to any of the Pentair Materials, (ii) include nVent in any consideration of proposed changes to any of the Pentair Materials, (iii) provide draft changes of any of the Pentair Materials to nVent for review and/or comment or (iv) provide nVent with any updated materials relating to any of the Pentair Materials. nVent acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly set forth above, Pentair reserves all rights (including all Intellectual Property rights) in, to and under the Pentair Materials and no rights with respect to ownership or use, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, shall vest in nVent. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, subject to the exceptions specified in Section 9.03, the Pentair Materials are the Confidential Information of Pentair. nVent shall use at least the same degree of care to prevent and restrain the unauthorized use or disclosure of any confidential materials created by or for nVent that are based upon any of the Pentair Materials as it uses for its other confidential information of a like nature, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. nVent will allow Pentair reasonable access to personnel and information as reasonably necessary to determine nVent’s

-8-

compliance with the provisions set forth above; provided, however, such access shall not unreasonably interfere with any of the business or operations of nVent. If Pentair determines that nVent has not complied in all material respects with some or all of its obligations contained in Section 3.01 and Section 3.02 with respect to any of the Pentair Materials, Pentair will provide nVent written notice of such failure to comply, specifiying the nature of the default. If nVent fails to cure such non-compliance within fifteen (15) days, Pentair may terminate nVent’s rights to use the portion of the Pentair Materials that fail to comply to nVent’s obligations. In such event, nVent shall either return the Pentair Materials that fail to comply with nVent’s obligations or destroy the noncomplying materials (with such destruction certified by nVent in writing to Pentair promptly after such termination).

ARTICLE IV
ADDITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS

Section 4.01 Software and Software Licenses. (a) If and to the extent requested by nVent, Pentair shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist nVent in its efforts to obtain licenses (or other appropriate rights) to use, duplicate and distribute, as necessary and applicable, certain computer software necessary for Pentair to provide, and nVent to receive, Pentair Services; provided, however, any fees or other payments to enable nVent to obtain any such licenses or rights will be borne equally by the Parties; provided, further, that Pentair shall not be required to seek broader rights or more favorable terms for nVent than those applicable to Pentair or nVent, as the case may be, prior to the Distribution Date or as may be applicable to Pentair from time to time hereafter; and, provided, further, that each Party shall bear only those costs that relate solely and directly to obtaining such licenses (or other appropriate rights) in the ordinary course. The Parties acknowledge and agree that there can be no assurance that Pentair’s efforts will be successful or that nVent will be able to obtain such licenses or rights on acceptable terms or at all and, where Pentair enjoys rights under any enterprise or site license or similar license, the Parties acknowledge that such license typically precludes partial transfers or assignments or operation of a service bureau on behalf of unaffiliated entities. In the event that nVent is unable to obtain such software licenses, the Parties shall work together using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an alternative software license to allow Pentair to provide, and nVent to receive, such Pentair Services, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith an amendment to the applicable Schedule to reflect any such new arrangement, which amended Schedule shall not require nVent to pay for any fees, expenses or costs relating to the software license that nVent was unable to obtain pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01(a).

(b) If and to the extent requested by Pentair, nVent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Pentair in its efforts to obtain licenses (or other appropriate rights) to use, duplicate and distribute, as necessary and applicable, certain computer software necessary for nVent to provide, and Pentair to receive, the nVent Services; provided, however, any fees or other payments to enable nVent to obtain any such licenses or rights will be borne equally by the Parties; provided, further, that nVent shall not be required to seek broader rights or more favorable terms for Pentair than those applicable to Pentair or nVent, as the case may be, prior to the Distribution Date or as may be applicable to nVent from time to time hereafter; and, provided, further, that each Party shall bear only those costs that relate solely and directly to obtaining such licenses (or other appropriate rights) in the ordinary course. The Parties acknowledge and agree that there can be no assurance that nVent’s efforts will be successful or that Pentair will be able to obtain such licenses or rights on acceptable terms or at all and, where nVent enjoys rights under any enterprise or site license or similar license, the Parties acknowledge that such license typically precludes partial transfers or assignments or operation of a service bureau on behalf of unaffiliated entities. In the event that Pentair is unable to obtain such software licenses, the Parties shall work together using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an alternative software license to allow nVent to provide, and Pentair to receive, such nVent Services, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith an amendment to the applicable Schedule to reflect any such new arrangement, which amended Schedule

shall not require Pentair to pay for any fees, expenses or costs relating to the software license that Pentair was unable to obtain pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01(b).

(c) In the event that there are any costs associated with obtaining software licenses in accordance with Section 4.01 that (i) would not be payable in the ordinary course, including in the form of a “transfer fee” or other similar fees or expenses payable by the Recipient or the Provider, and (ii) would not have been payable by the Recipient or the Provider absent the need for a consent or waiver in connection with the license that the Recipient is seeking to obtain, such costs shall be borne equally by the Parties.

Section 4.02 Pentair Computer-Based and Other Resources. From and after the date of this Agreement, nVent and its Affiliates shall cause all of their personnel having access to the Pentair Intranet or such other computer software, networks, hardware, technology or computer based resources pursuant to the Separation Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, or in connection with performance, receipt or delivery of a Service, to comply with all security guidelines (including physical security, network access, internet security, confidentiality and personal data security guidelines) of Pentair and its Affiliates (of which Pentair provides nVent written notice). nVent shall ensure that the access contemplated by this Section 4.02 shall be used by such personnel only for the purposes contemplated by, and subject to the terms of, this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in the Separation Agreement, any other Ancillary Agreement, any other applicable agreement or as required in connection with the performance or delivery of any Services, each of the Parties and its Affiliates shall cease using (and shall cause their employees to cease using) the services made available by the other Party and its Affiliates prior to the Distribution Date.

Section 4.03 Access to Facilities. (a) nVent shall, and shall cause, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, its Subsidiaries to, allow Pentair and its Representatives reasonable access to the facilities of nVent necessary for Pentair to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Pentair shall, and shall cause, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, its Subsidiaries to, allow nVent and its Representatives reasonable access to the facilities of Pentair necessary for nVent to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the other rights of access of the Parties under this Agreement, each Party shall, and shall cause, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, its Subsidiaries to, afford the other Party, its Subsidiaries and Representatives, following not less than five (5) business days’ prior written notice from the other Party, reasonable access during normal business hours to the facilities, information, systems, infrastructure, and personnel of the relevant Providers as reasonably necessary for the other Party to verify the adequacy of internal controls over information technology, reporting of financial data and related processes employed in connection with the Services, including in connection with verifying compliance with Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002; provided, however, such access shall not unreasonably interfere with any of the business or operations of such Party or its Subsidiaries.

(d) Except as otherwise permitted by the other Party in writing, each Party shall permit only its authorized Representatives, contractors, invitees or licensees to access the other Party’s facilities.

Section 4.04 Cooperation. It is understood that it will require the significant efforts of both Parties to implement this Agreement and to ensure performance of this Agreement by the Parties at the agreed-upon levels in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Parties will cooperate, acting in good faith and using commercially reasonable efforts, to effect a smooth and orderly transition of the Services provided under this Agreement from the Provider to the Recipient (including repairs and maintenance Services and the assignment or transfer of the rights and obligations under any

-10-

third-party contracts relating to the Services); provided, however, that this Section 4.04 shall not require either Party to incur any out-of-pocket costs or expenses. The Provider shall not be liable for failure to (a) provide Services or (b) effect the transition of the Services where such failure arises as a result of the Parties not obtaining third party consents to such Service provision or transition despite the Parties’ commercially reasonable efforts to obtain third party consents.

Section 4.05 Data Protection. (a) Each Party hereby agrees to, and to cause its Affiliates to (i) comply with any data protection or data privacy laws or regulations in any jurisdiction in which the Services are provided, including, without limitation, the Irish Data Protection Acts 1998 and 2003 and any other legislation that implements the Data Protection Directive (1995/46/EC) and, with effect from May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and legislation enacted pursuant thereto (the “Data Protection Laws”), applicable to it in connection with this Agreement, and (ii) adopt and incorporate principles of privacy by design and by default in respect of its processing of personal data.

(b) In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the foregoing Section 4.05(a), the Provider, when acting as data processor on behalf of the Recipient, as data controller, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Provider agrees to, and to cause, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, its Affiliates to:

(i) only process personal data (A) in accordance with the restrictions relating to data processing as outlined in Schedule C, (B) in accordance with the Recipient’s instructions that have been provided in writing (including to the extent necessary for the purposes set out in this Agreement) or (C) to the extent it is required to process personal data by applicable Law (which, for the purposes of this Section 4.05, shall mean in the case of any Recipient entity which is a data controller established in or otherwise subject to data protection laws applicable in the European Union (“EU”) only EU law or the laws of the EU member state in which that data controller is established) in which case, where permitted by applicable Law, the Provider shall inform the Recipient of the legal requirement before processing personal data;

(ii) implement technical and organizational measures in a manner that complies with Data Protection Laws, taking into account (A) the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing, to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access to the personal data and against all other unlawful forms of processing, and (B) the nature of the processing, the requirements to assist the Recipient in responding to requests by data subjects to exercise their rights of access, rectification or erasure and the requirements to restrict or object to processing of personal data or data portability;

(iii) ensure that employees or representatives who have access to the personal data (A) only process the personal data in accordance with Section 4.05(b)(i) above and (B) are bound to hold the information in confidence to the standard required under this Agreement (whether under a written agreement or otherwise);

(iv) not transfer personal data to any country or territory outside of the originating country or territory without the prior written consent of the Recipient, not to be unreasonably withheld, and which consent may be conditional upon the relevant third parties entering into an agreement on similar terms as this Agreement with the Recipient, provided that where the Provider is seeking to transfer personal data from any originating country or territory within the EU or the EEA to a country or territory outside the EEA it shall be permitted to do so if such data is subject to adequate safeguards or is otherwise transferred in accordance with the Data

-11-

Protection Laws and (A) there is a current European Commission finding of adequacy pursuant to Article 25(6) of Directive 95/46/EC or, after May 24, 2018, Article 45 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 in respect of the country, territory or sector to which the personal data is being transferred; (B) the transfer is to the United States to an entity that is a certified member of the EU-US Privacy Shield; or (C) the Recipient and the relevant importing entity are party to a contract in relation to the export incorporating standard contractual clauses in the form adopted by the European Commission under Decision 2010/87/EU, as amended or replaced from time to time;

(v) promptly inform the Recipient of and assist (at the Recipient’s cost) with requests by data subjects to exercise their rights of access, rectification or erasure, to restrict or object to processing of personal data or data portability and use reasonable endeavors to communicate any rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing to any recipient to whom the relevant personal data have been disclosed;

(vi) notify the Recipient without undue delay after becoming aware of (A) any actual or suspected breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed (“Personal Data Breach”) or (B) any inquiry by or request for information by any person having regulatory or supervisory authority over all or any part of the Services or the business of the Provider or the Recipient (“Regulator”) concerning, or made under, Data Protection Laws, or of any material breach by it of any Data Protection Laws (including any formal or informal enforcement proceedings against it by a Regulator, or, without prejudice to Section 4.05(b)(vii)(B), any notification of any data breach to a Regulator under the Data Protection Laws), and upon the Recipient’s reasonable written request, provide the Recipient with all co-operation and assistance reasonably requested by the Recipient to enable the Recipient to notify the Personal Data Breach to the relevant data protection authority and data subject(s) (as applicable);

(vii) upon receipt of a notification of a breach under Section 4.05(b)(vi), (A) work together with the Recipient, acting reasonably and in good faith, to mitigate any adverse effects of any such breach on the Recipient’s business and the affected data subjects (at the Recipient’s cost), each acting reasonably and in good faith and (B) not release or publish any filing, communication, notice, press release, or report concerning the breach without first consulting the Recipient with regards to the content of that notice and giving due regard to the Recipient’s reasonable comments, save that the Provider may disclose a breach to the extent required by applicable Law;

(viii) assist the Recipient with assessing the impact of processing personal data, take account of the Recipient’s reasonable requirements when carrying out a privacy impact assessment and with any consultations with a data protection authority if, and to the extent, an assessment or consultation is required to be carried out under the Data Protection Laws;

(ix) provide the Recipient with all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with data processor obligations under the Data Protection Laws and allow the Recipient or an auditor mandated by the Recipient to carry out audits, including inspections of all facilities, equipment, documents and electronic data relating to the processing of personal data by the Provider or any approved Affiliate, third party or approved subcontractor to verify compliance with this Section 4.05 and the Provider shall inform the Recipient if any instructions pursuant to this Section 4.05(b)(ix) would breach applicable Data Protection Laws;

-12-

(x) unless expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement, the Provider shall, and shall procure that any Affiliates, subcontractors or third parties shall, on termination of this Agreement immediately cease to use the personal data and shall, at the Recipient’s option, return the personal data to the Recipient or delete the personal data and all copies and extracts of the personal data unless required to retain a copy in accordance with EU laws or the applicable laws of any EU or EEA country in which the Recipient is established;

(xi) inform the applicable data controller of any changes to its subcontractors; and

(xii) ensure that any subcontractor with which it contracts from the date of this Agreement and to which it delegates the processing of personal data on behalf of the Recipient is bound by a written agreement imposing on the subcontractor obligations no less restrictive than those set out in this Section 4.05.

To the extent used in this Section 4.05, the terms, “data controller”, “data processor”, “personal data” and “processing” (or any form of “process”) shall have the meaning set out in applicable Data Protection Laws and “European Economic Area” or “EEA” shall mean the countries which are party to the European Economic Area Agreement 1994, as amended from time to time.

ARTICLE V
COSTS AND DISBURSEMENTS

Section 5.01 Costs and Disbursements. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Recipient of Services shall pay to the Provider of such Services a monthly fee for the Services (or category of Services, as applicable) (each fee constituting a “Service Charge” and, collectively, “Service Charges”) as listed on the Schedules hereto.

(b) The amount of the Service Charge for each Service shall increase three percent (3%) annually on each anniversary of this Agreement (including during the term of any Service Extension). In addition, during the term of this Agreement, the amount of a Service Charge for any Services (or category of Services, as applicable) may increase to the extent of: (i) any increases mutually agreed to by the Parties, (ii) any Service Charges applicable to any Additional Services, Service Increases or New Services, and (iii) any increase in the rates or charges imposed by any unaffiliated third-party provider that is providing Services. Together with any monthly invoice for Service Charges and Reimbursement Charges, the Provider shall provide the Recipient with documentation to support the calculation of such Service Charges or any Reimbursement Charges.

(c) The Recipient shall reimburse the Provider for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Provider or its Affiliates in connection with providing the Services (including necessary travel-related expenses) (each such cost or expense, a “Reimbursement Charge” and, collectively, “Reimbursement Charges”); provided, however, that any such cost or expense that is materially inconsistent with historical practice between the Parties for any Service (including business travel and related expenses) shall require advance approval of the Recipient. Any authorized travel-related expenses incurred in performing the Services shall be incurred and charged to the Recipient in accordance with the Provider’s then-applicable business travel policies made known to the Recipient.

(d) The Service Charges and Reimbursement Charges due and payable hereunder shall be invoiced and paid in the currency indicated in the column entitled “Fees (Local)” in the relevant Schedule hereto. The Recipient, or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, a designee of the Recipient, shall pay the amount of each monthly invoice by wire transfer (or such other method of payment as may be agreed between the Parties) to the Provider within sixty (60) days of the receipt of each such invoice,

-13-

including appropriate documentation as described herein. In the absence of a timely notice of billing dispute in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII of the Separation Agreement, if the Recipient fails to pay such amount within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice of such failure to pay, the Recipient shall be obligated to pay to the Provider, in addition to the amount due, interest at an annual default interest rate of three percent (3%), or the maximum legal rate, whichever is lower, accruing from the date the payment was due through the date of actual payment. In the event of any billing dispute, the Recipient shall promptly pay any undisputed amount.

(e) Subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 9.03, each Party shall, and shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, cause their respective Affiliates to, provide, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice from the other Party, any information within such Party’s or its Affiliates’ possession that the requesting Party reasonably requests in connection with any Services being provided to such requesting Party by an unaffiliated third-party provider, including any applicable invoices, agreements documenting the arrangements between such third-party provider and the Provider and other supporting documentation; provided, however, that each Party shall make no more than one such request during any calendar month.

Section 5.02 Tax Matters. (a) Without limiting any provisions of this Agreement, the Recipient shall be responsible for (i) all excise, sales, use, transfer, stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar Taxes, (ii) any value added, goods and services or similar recoverable indirect Taxes (“VAT”) and (iii) any related interest and penalties (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), in each case imposed or assessed as a result of the provision of Services by the Provider. In particular, but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, all amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement are exclusive of amounts in respect of VAT. Where any taxable supply of Services for VAT purposes is made pursuant to this Agreement by the Provider to the Recipient, the Recipient shall either (i) on receipt of a valid VAT invoice from the Provider, pay to the Provider such additional amounts in respect of VAT as are chargeable on the supply of the services at the same time as payment is due for the supply of the services; or (ii) where required by applicable Law to do so, account directly to the relevant Governmental Authority for any such VAT amounts. The Party required to account for Transfer Tax shall provide to the other Party evidence of the remittance of the amount of such Transfer Tax to the relevant Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, copies of any Tax returns remitting such amount. The Provider agrees that it shall take commercially reasonable actions to cooperate with the Recipient in obtaining any refund, return, rebate, or the like of any Transfer Tax, including by filing any necessary exemption or other similar forms, certificates, or other similar documents. The Recipient shall promptly reimburse the Provider for any costs incurred by the Provider or its Affiliates in connection with the Recipient obtaining a refund or overpayment of refund, return, rebate, or the like of any Transfer Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, any applicable gross receipts-based or net income-based Taxes shall be borne by the Provider unless the Provider is required by law to obtain, or allowed to separately invoice for and obtain, reimbursement of such Taxes from the Recipient.

(b) The Recipient shall be entitled to deduct and withhold Taxes required by any Tax Law to be withheld on payments made pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent any amounts are so withheld, the Recipient shall (i) pay, in addition to the amount otherwise due to the Provider under this Agreement, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Provider will equal the full amount the Provider would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required, (ii) pay such deducted and withheld amount to the proper Governmental Authority, and (iii) promptly provide to the Provider evidence of such payment to such Governmental Authority. The Provider shall, prior to the date of any payment to be made pursuant to this Agreement, at the request of the Recipient, make commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Recipient any certificate or other documentary evidence (x) required by Tax Law or (y) which the Provider is entitled by Tax Law to provide in order to reduce the amount of any Taxes that may be deducted or withheld from such payment

-14-

and the Recipient agrees to accept and act in reliance on any such duly and properly executed certificate or other applicable documentary evidence.

(c) If the Provider (i) receives any refund (whether by payment, offset, credit or otherwise) or (ii) utilizes any overpayment of Taxes that are borne by Recipient pursuant to this Agreement, then the Provider shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid, to the Recipient an amount equal to the deficiency or excess, as the case may be, with respect to the amount that the Recipient has borne if the amount of such refund or overpayment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any interest or other amounts received with respect to such refund or overpayment) had been included originally in the determination of the amounts to be borne by Recipient pursuant to this Agreement, net of any additional Taxes the Provider incurs or will incur as a result of the receipt of such refund or such overpayment.

Section 5.03 No Right to Set-Off. The Recipient shall timely pay the full amount of Service Charges and Reimbursement Charges and shall not set-off, counterclaim or otherwise withhold any amount owed to the Provider under this Agreement on account of any obligation owed by the Provider to the Recipient.

ARTICLE VI
STANDARD FOR SERVICE

Section 6.01 Standard for Service.

(a) The Provider agrees (i) to perform the Services with substantially the same nature, quality, standard of care and service levels at which the same or similar services were performed by or on behalf of the Provider in the twelve (12) months prior to the Distribution Date or, if not so previously provided, then substantially similar to that which are applicable to similar services provided to the Provider’s Affiliates or other business components; and (ii) upon receipt of written notice from the Recipient identifying any outage, interruption or other failure of any Service, to respond to such outage, interruption or other failure of such Service in a manner that is substantially similar to the manner in which such Provider or its Affiliates responded to any outage, interruption or other failure of the same or similar services in the twelve (12) months prior to the Distribution Date. The Parties acknowledge that an outage, interruption or other failure of any Service shall not be deemed to be a breach of the provisions of this Section 6.01 so long as the applicable Provider complies with the foregoing clause (ii). Further, each Recipient acknowledges that the applicable Provider may be providing similar services (or services that involve the same resources as those used to provide the Services) to its internal organizations, Affiliates and/or third parties. Each Provider reserves the right to modify the Services in connection with changes to its internal organization in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that no such modification may result in any modification that would reduce the benefits provided to the Recipient hereunder in any material respect or increase the Service Charges payable hereunder.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service to the extent that the manner of such performance would constitute a violation of: (i) applicable Law, (ii) any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Provider’s organizational documents or (iii) any existing contract or agreement with a third party. Without limitation to the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service that would require (x) an amendment to the Provider’s organizational documents or (y) a change in the Provider’s legal form. If the Provider is or becomes aware of any potential violation on the part of the Provider, the Provider shall promptly send a written notice to the Recipient of any such potential violation. The Parties each agree 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 Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service in accordance with the standards set forth in this

-15-

Section 6.01. Any costs and expenses incurred by either Party in connection with obtaining any such third-party consent that is required to allow the Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service shall be borne equally by the Parties. If, with respect to a Service, the Parties, 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 Provider would continue to constitute a violation of applicable Laws, the 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 6.01 that would apply absent the exception provided for in the first sentence of this Section 6.01(b).

Section 6.02 Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES. UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS, WHERE IS” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

Section 6.03 Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Each Party shall be responsible for its own compliance and its subcontractors’ compliance with any and all Laws applicable to its performance under this Agreement. No Party will knowingly take any action in violation of any such applicable Law that results in liability being imposed on the other Party.

ARTICLE VII
LIMITED LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

The foregoing limitations on Liability in this Section 7.02 shall not apply to any breach of Section 9.03.

Section 7.03 Obligation To Reperform; Liabilities. In the event of any breach of this Agreement by any Provider with respect to the provision of any Services (with respect to which the Provider can reasonably be expected to re-perform in a commercially reasonable manner), the Provider shall (a) promptly correct in all material respects such error, defect or breach or re-perform in all material respects such Services at the request of the Recipient and at the sole cost and expense of the Provider and

-16-

(b) subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.02, reimburse the Recipient and its Affiliates and Representatives for Liabilities attributable to such breach by the Provider. The remedy set forth in this Section 7.03 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Recipient for any such breach of this Agreement. Any request for re-performance in accordance with this Section 7.03 by the Recipient must be in writing and specify in reasonable detail the particular error, defect or breach, and such request must be made no more than one (1) month from the date such error, defect or breach becomes apparent or should have reasonably become apparent to the Recipient.

Section 7.04 Recipient Indemnity. Subject to Section 7.01, each Recipient hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the applicable Provider and its Affiliates and Representatives (each, a “Provider Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Liabilities arising from, relating to or in connection with: (a) the use of any Services by such Recipient or any of its Affiliates, Representatives or other Persons using such Services; or (b) the sale, delivery, provision or use of any Services provided under or contemplated by this Agreement, in the case of each of clause (a) and (b), except to the extent that such Liabilities arise out of, relate to or are a consequence of the applicable Provider Indemnified Party’s violation of applicable Law, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 7.05 Provider Indemnity. Subject to Section 7.01, each Provider hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the applicable Recipient and its Affiliates and Representatives (each a “Recipient Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all Liabilities arising from, relating to or in connection with: (a) the use of any Services by such Recipient or any of its Affiliates, Representatives or other Persons using such Services; or (b) the sale, delivery, provision or use of any Services provided under or contemplated by this Agreement, in the case of each of clause (a) and (b), to the extent that such Liabilities arise out of, relate to or are a consequence of the applicable Provider’s violation of applicable Law, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 7.06 Indemnification Procedures. The provisions of Sections 4.2 through 4.6 of the Separation Agreement shall govern claims for indemnification under this Agreement.

Section 7.07 Liability for Payment Obligations. Nothing in this Article VII shall be deemed to eliminate or limit, in any respect, Pentair’s or nVent’s express obligation in this Agreement to pay Service Charges and Reimbursement Charges for Services rendered in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 7.08 Exclusion of Other Remedies. The provisions of Section 7.03, 7.04 and 7.05 of this Agreement shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Provider Indemnified Parties and the Recipient Indemnified Parties, as applicable, for any claim, loss, damage, expense or liability, whether arising from statute, principle of common or civil law, principles of strict liability, tort, contract or otherwise under this Agreement.

Section 7.09 Confirmation. Neither Party excludes nor disclaims responsibility for any liability which cannot be excluded or disclaimed pursuant to applicable Law.

ARTICLE VIII
TERM AND TERMINATION

Section 8.01 Term and Termination. (a) This Agreement shall commence immediately upon the Distribution Date and shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the last date on which either Party is obligated to provide any Service to the other Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) the mutual written agreement of the Parties to terminate this Agreement in its entirety.

-17-

(b) Without prejudice to a Recipient’s rights with respect to a Force Majeure, a 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 providing at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Provider; provided, however, that, with respect to any individual Service provided exclusively for a Recipient, such Recipient shall pay to the Provider the necessary and reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the wind down of such Service other than any employee severance and relocation expenses, but including unamortized license fees and costs for equipment used to provide such Service, contractual obligations under agreements used to provide such Service, any breakage or termination fees and any other termination costs payable by the Provider with respect to any resources or pursuant to any other third-party agreements that were used by the Provider to provide such Service (or an equitably allocated portion thereof, in the case of any such equipment, resources or agreements that also were used for purposes other than providing Services); 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 thirty (30) days after receipt by the Provider of written notice of such failure from the Recipient.

In the event that any Service is terminated other than at the end of a month, the Service Charge associated with such Service shall be pro-rated appropriately. The Parties acknowledge that there may be interdependencies among the Services being provided under this Agreement that may not be identified on the applicable Schedules and agree that, if the Provider’s ability to provide a particular Service in accordance with this Agreement is materially and adversely affected by the termination of another Service in accordance with Section 8.01(b)(i), then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend the Schedule relating to such affected continuing Service, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of, and the pricing methodology used for, comparable Services.

(c) In connection with the termination of any Service, if the Recipient reasonably determines that it will require such Service to continue beyond the date on which such Service is scheduled to terminate, the Recipient may request that the Provider extend such Service (any such extension, a “Service Extension”) for a specified period beyond the scheduled termination of such Service (which period shall in no event be longer than one hundred and eighty (180) days) by written notice to the Provider no less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such scheduled termination, and Provider shall consider any such request in good faith; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to agree to any Service Extension, including because, after good-faith negotiations between the Parties, the Parties fail to reach an agreement with respect to the terms thereof; provided, further, however, that (i) there shall be no more than one (1) Service Extension with respect to each Service and (ii) the Provider shall not be obligated to provide such Service Extension if a third-party consent is required and cannot be obtained by the Provider. Unless otherwise agreed by Provider and Recipient, the Service Charge applicable to any such Service Extension shall be one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the Service Charge applicable to such Service immediately prior to the Service Extension. In connection with any request for Service Extensions in accordance with this Section 8.01(c), the Pentair Services Manager and the nVent Services Manager shall in good faith (x) negotiate the terms of an amendment to the applicable Schedule, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of the applicable Service, and (y) determine the costs and expenses (other than Service Charges), if any, that would be incurred by the Provider or the 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 Party requesting the Service Extension. Each amended Schedule to implement a Service Extension, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this

-18-

Agreement as of the date of such agreement and any Services provided pursuant to such Service Extensions shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 8.02 Effect of Termination. Upon termination of any Service pursuant to this Agreement, the Provider of the terminated Service will have no further obligation to provide the terminated Service, and the relevant Recipient will have no obligation to pay any future Service Charges relating to any such Service; provided, however, that the Recipient shall remain obligated to the relevant Provider for the (a) Service Charges and Reimbursement Charges owed and payable in respect of Services provided prior to the effective date of termination and (b) any applicable charges described in Section 8.01(b)(i), which charges shall be payable only in the event that the Recipient terminates any Service pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(i). 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, Article VII (including liability in respect of any indemnifiable Liabilities under this Agreement arising or occurring on or prior to the date of termination), Article VIII, Article IX, all confidentiality obligations under this Agreement and liability for all due and unpaid Service Charges and Reimbursement Charges and any applicable charges payable pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(i), shall continue to survive indefinitely. Following termination of this Agreement with respect to any Service, each Party agrees to cooperate (at the applicable Recipient’s expense) in providing for an orderly transition of such Service to such Recipient or to a successor service provider (including using commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the applicable Recipient, in the format maintained by the applicable Provider, any and all data to the extent generated for or on behalf of such Recipient or any of its Affiliates in connection with such terminated Service and stored on such Provider’s systems that has not been previously transferred to such Recipient or its designee).

Section 8.03 Force Majeure. (a) Neither Party (nor any Person acting on its behalf) shall have any liability or responsibility for failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation for Services not affected by a Force Majeure event) under this Agreement so long as and to the extent to which the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of a Force Majeure; provided, however, that (i) such Party (or such Person) shall have exercised commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the effect of such Force Majeure on its obligations; and (ii) the nature, quality and standard of care that the Provider shall provide in delivering a Service after a Force Majeure shall be substantially the same as the nature, quality and standard of care that the Provider provides to its Affiliates with respect to such Service. In the event of an occurrence of a Force Majeure, the Party whose performance is affected thereby shall give notice of suspension as soon as reasonably practicable to the other stating the date and extent of such suspension and the cause thereof, and such Party shall resume the performance of such obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of such cause.

(b) During the period of a Force Majeure, the Recipient shall be entitled to permanently terminate such Service(s) (and shall be relieved of the obligation to pay Service Charges for such Services(s) throughout the duration of such Force Majeure) if a Force Majeure shall continue to exist for more than fifteen (15) consecutive days, it being understood that Recipient shall not be required to provide any advance notice of such termination to Provider or pay any charges in connection therewith.

ARTICLE IX
GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 9.01 No Agency. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed in any way or for any purpose to constitute any Party an agent of an unaffiliated party in the conduct of such other party’s business. A Provider of any Service under this Agreement shall act as an independent contractor and not

-19-

as the agent of the Recipient in performing such Service, maintaining control over its employees, its subcontractors and their employees and complying with all withholding of income at source requirements, whether federal, national, state, local or foreign. For the avoidance of doubt, each Provider, or its Affiliates, as the case may be, shall have the sole right to exercise all authority with respect to the employment (including termination of employment), assignment and compensation of its employees, legal representatives and agents who perform Services.

Section 9.02 Subcontractors. A Provider may hire or engage one or more subcontractors to perform any or all of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that (a) such Provider shall use the same degree of care in selecting any such subcontractor as it would if such contractor was being retained to provide similar services to the Provider and (b) such Provider shall in all cases remain primarily responsible for all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the scope of the Services, the standard for services as set forth in Article VII and the content of the Services provided to the Recipient.

Section 9.03 Treatment of Confidential Information.

(a) The Parties shall not, and shall cause, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, all other persons providing Services or having access to information of the other Party that is confidential or proprietary (“Confidential Information”) not to, disclose to any other person or use, except for purposes of this Agreement, any Confidential Information of the other Party; provided, however, that the Confidential Information may be used by such Party to the extent that such Confidential Information has been (i) in the public domain through no fault of such Party or any member of such Group or any of their respective Representatives, (ii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party (or any member of such Party’s Group) which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation, or (iii) independently generated without reference to any Confidential Information of the other Party; provided, further, that each Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law: (A) to its Representatives on a need-to-know basis in connection with the performance of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement; (B) in any report, statement, testimony or other submission required to be made to any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the disclosing Party; or (C) in order to comply with applicable Law, or in response to any summons, subpoena or other legal process or formal or informal investigative demand issued to the disclosing Party in the course of any litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding. In the event that a Party becomes legally compelled (based on advice of counsel) by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar judicial or administrative process to disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party, such disclosing Party shall, to the extent that providing such notice would not violate applicable Law, provide the other Party with prompt prior written notice of such requirement, and, to the extent reasonably practicable, cooperate with the other Party (at such other Party’s expense) to obtain a protective order or similar remedy to cause such Confidential Information not to be disclosed, including interposing all available objections thereto, such as objections based on settlement privilege. In the event that such protective order or other similar remedy is not obtained, the disclosing Party shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that has been legally compelled, and shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts (at such other Party’s expense) to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information.

(b) Each Party shall, and shall cause, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, its Representatives to, protect the Confidential Information of the other Party by using the same degree of care to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of such as the Party uses to protect its own confidential information of a like nature, but in any event no less than a reasonable degree of care.

-20-

(c) Each Party shall be liable for any failure by its respective Representatives to comply with the restrictions on use and disclosure of Confidential Information contained in this Agreement.

(d) Each Party shall comply with all applicable local, state, national, federal and foreign privacy and data protection Laws that are or that may in the future be applicable to the provision of Services under this Agreement.

(e) Each Party acknowledges that neither it nor any of its Affiliates will acquire any right, title or interest in or to any Confidential Information of the other party hereto by reason of this Agreement or the provision of the Services hereunder.

(f) Each Party agrees to only use Confidential Information of the other party hereto in connection with the provision and/or receipt of the Services, as applicable.

(g) All Confidential Information, including all personal data processed by a Party on behalf of the other Party, whether in written, electronic or other form shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the disclosing Party, and shall be promptly returned or destroyed (at the election of the receiving Party) by the receiving Party, upon the written request of the disclosing Party. To the extent that the receiving Party is unable to return or destroy any digital data, the obligation of confidentiality hereunder shall survive with respect to such information until it is either returned or destroyed.

Section 9.04 Further Assurances. Each Party covenants and agrees that, without any additional consideration, it shall execute and deliver any further legal instruments and perform any acts that are or may become necessary to effectuate this Agreement.

Section 9.05 Dispute Resolution. Any Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article VIII of the Separation Agreement, which shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of any such Dispute unless otherwise specified herein or in Article VIII of the Separation Agreement.

Section 9.06 Notices. Except with respect to routine communications by the Pentair Services Manager, nVent Services Manager, Pentair Local Services Manager and nVent Local Services Manager under Section 2.06, all notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt) by delivery in person, by overnight courier service or by facsimile (followed by delivery of an original via overnight courier service) or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 9.06):
