Services or access to Additional Facilities shall be deemed Services or access to Facilities, respectively, hereunder, and accordingly, the Party requested to provide such Additional Services or access to Additional Facilities shall provide such Additional Services or access to Additional Facilities, or cause such Additional Services or access to Additional Facilities to be provided, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 2.05 Exception to Obligation to Provide Services or Access to Facilities; Excluded Services.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, including Fortive’s and Vontier’s obligations set forth in Section 2.01 hereof, the relevant Providers shall not be obligated to (and neither Fortive nor Vontier shall be obligated to cause any Provider to) provide any Services or access to any Facilities if the provision of such Services or access to such Facilities would violate any Law or any Contract to which Fortive, Vontier, any of Fortive’s or Vontier’s Affiliates or any of the Providers are subject; provided, however, that Fortive and Vontier shall comply with Section 7.02 in obtaining any Consents necessary to provide such Services or access to such Facilities.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Services shall in no event include those services set forth on Schedule 2.05(b) (the “Excluded Services”).

Section 2.07 Change in Services or Access to Facilities. The Providers may from time to time reasonably supplement, modify, substitute or otherwise alter the Services provided and access to the Facilities in a manner that does not materially adversely affect the quality or availability of Services or access to the Facilities or increase the cost of using such Services or accessing such Facilities.

Section 2.08 Subcontractors. A Provider may subcontract any of the Services or portion thereof to any other Person, including any Affiliate of the Provider; provided, however, that such other Person shall be subject to service standards and confidentiality provisions at least equivalent to those set forth herein, and such Provider shall in all cases remain primarily responsible for all of its obligations hereunder with respect to the Services provided by such subcontractor.

Section 2.09 Electronic Access.

(a) To the extent that the performance or receipt of Services or access to Facilities hereunder requires access to a Group’s intranet or other internal systems by the other Group (the “Accessing Group”), the Party whose Group intranet or other internal systems is being accessed shall provide or cause to be provided limited access to such systems, subject to policies, procedures and limitations to be determined by such Party.

(c) The Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Providers to, exercise reasonable care in providing, accessing and using the Services and Facilities to prevent access to the Services and Facilities by unauthorized Persons.

COSTS AND DISBURSEMENTS

(a) Each Party (or its designee) shall pay to the other Party providing, or causing to be provided, the applicable Service or Facility a monthly fee for such Service or access to such Facility as set forth therefor in the applicable Schedule hereto, and with respect to an Additional Service or Additional Facility, the monthly fee shall be the applicable Provider’s internal and external costs and expenses of providing such Additional Services or access to such Additional Facilities, plus any costs associated with migrating data or otherwise preparing any Additional Services or access to any Additional Facilities to be provided under this Agreement (each aggregate fee calculated in accordance with this provision constituting a “Service Charge” and, collectively, the “Service Charges”); provided, however, that a fee for a Service or Facility not provided or made available hereunder for a full month shall be pro-rated for the portion of such month provided or made available. During the Term, the amount of a Service Charge for any Services or access to Facilities shall not increase, except to the extent that there is an increase after the Distribution Date in the costs actually incurred by the Provider in providing such Services or access to Facilities, including as a result of (i) an increase in the amount of such Services or access to Facilities being provided to the Recipient (as compared to the amount of the Services or access to Facilities underlying the determination of a Service Charge), (ii) an increase in the rates or charges imposed by any third-party provider that is providing goods or services used by the Provider in providing the Services or access to Facilities (as compared to the rates or charges underlying a Service Charge), (iii) an increase in the payroll or benefits for any personnel used by the Provider in providing the Services or access to Facilities, or (iv) any increase in costs relating to any changes requested by the Recipient in the nature of the Services or access to Facilities provided (including relating to newly installed products or equipment or any upgrades to existing products or equipment).

(b) As of or prior to the Distribution Date, the Parties shall mutually agree on a form of invoice to be issued for the aggregate of Service Charges by each Party. Each of Fortive and Vontier (or their designees), as applicable, shall deliver invoices to the other Party (or its designees) in accordance with the terms hereof, beginning on or prior to the tenth (10th) day following the first fiscal month end following the Distribution Date and, thereafter, on or prior to the tenth (10th) day following the fiscal month end for each succeeding month or week (in accordance with the terms hereof) for the duration of this Agreement (or at such other frequency as is consistent with the basis on which the Service Charges are determined and, if applicable, charged to Affiliates of each Party) in arrears for the Service Charges due under this Agreement. Each of Fortive or Vontier (or their designees) shall pay, or cause to be paid, the amount of such invoice by wire transfer or check to the other Party (or its designees) within fifteen (15) days of the date of such invoice; provided that (i) any Contracts that prescribe other payment terms for any other individual Service or access to a Facility shall continue to govern; and (ii) to the extent consistent with past practice with respect to Services or access to Facilities rendered outside the United States, payments may be required in local currency. If Fortive or Vontier (or their designees), as applicable, fails to pay such amount by such date, such Party shall be obligated to pay to the other Party providing, or causing to be provided, the Services and access to the Facilities, in addition to the amount due, interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate, from time to time in effect, calculated for the actual number of days elapsed, accrued from the date on which such payment was due up to the date of the actual receipt of payment.

Section 3.02 Right of Set-Off. Each of Fortive or Vontier, as applicable, shall pay the full amount of Service Charges and shall not set-off, counterclaim or otherwise withhold any amount owed to the other Party under this Agreement, on account of any obligation owed by the other Party to Fortive or Vontier, as applicable, under this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement that has not been finally adjudicated, settled or otherwise agreed upon by the Parties in writing; provided, however, that Fortive or Vontier, as applicable, shall be permitted to assert a set-off right with respect to any obligation that has been so finally adjudicated, settled or otherwise agreed upon by the Parties in writing against amounts owed by the other Party under this Agreement.
