Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (a) Agilent shall provide or cause to be provided to Keysight the services listed on Schedule A-1 and Schedule A-2 to this Agreement (collectively, the “Agilent Services”) and (b) Keysight shall provide or cause to be provided to Agilent the services listed on Schedule B-1 and Schedule B-2 to this Agreement (collectively, the “Keysight Services,” and, collectively with the Agilent Services, any Additional Services, any Service Increases and any New Services, the “Services”). All Services shall be for the sole use and benefit of the respective Recipient and its respective Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Collaborations (as defined in the Collaboration Agreement) set forth in the Collaboration Agreement shall not be and may not be considered Services hereunder (including Additional Services or New Services hereunder).

Section 2.02. Duration of Services. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each of Agilent and Keysight 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) the expiration of the term for such Service (or, subject to the terms of Section 7.01(c), the expiration of any Service Extension) as set forth on Schedule A-1 or A-2 or Schedule B-1 or B-2 (each a “Schedule,” and collectively, the “Schedules”) or (b) the date on which such Service is terminated under Section 7.01(b).

Section 2.03. Additional Services and Service Increases. (a) If, after the date of this Agreement and during the term hereof, either Party (i) identifies a service that (x) the Agilent

Group provided to the Keysight Group prior to the Distribution Date that Keysight reasonably needs in order for the Keysight Business to continue to operate in substantially the same manner in which the Keysight Business operated prior to the Distribution Date, and such service was not included on Schedule A-1 or A-2 (other than because the Parties agreed in writing that such service shall not be provided), or (y) the Keysight Group provided to the Agilent Group prior to the Distribution Date that Agilent reasonably needs in order for the Agilent Business to continue to operate in substantially the same manner in which the Agilent Business operated prior to the Distribution Date, and such service was not included on Schedule B-1 or B-2 (other than because the Parties agreed in writing that such service shall not be provided), and (ii) provides written notice to the other Party requesting such additional services, then such other Party shall negotiate in good faith 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, if the provision of such Additional Service would significantly disrupt the operation of its businesses or if the Parties are unable to reach agreement on the terms thereof (including with respect to Service Charges therefor). If the Parties agree to any such Additional Service, then the Parties shall document such terms in a supplement to the applicable Schedule. 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. 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 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 a 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 negotiate in good faith to provide such Service Increase; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to provide any Service Increase if the Parties are unable to reach agreement on the terms thereof (including with respect to Service Charges therefor); provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, 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. If the Parties agree to any such Service Increase, then the Parties shall document such terms in an amendment to the applicable Schedule. 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 “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 negotiate in good faith to provide such New Service; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to provide any New Services, including because the

Parties are unable to reach agreement on the terms thereof (including with respect to Service Charges therefor). If the Parties agree to any such New Service, then the Parties shall document such terms in a supplement to the applicable Schedule. 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 New Services. 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. The Parties shall in good faith 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 Service, which costs and expenses shall be borne solely by the Recipient.

Section 2.05. Services Not Included. It is not the intent of the Provider to render to the Recipient, 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, whether with regard to information technology or other matters, or the handling of or addressing environmental matters; and 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.

Section 2.06. Services Managers. (a) Agilent hereby appoints and designates the individual holding the Agilent position set forth on Exhibit I to act as its initial services manager (the “Agilent Services Manager”), who will be directly responsible for coordinating and managing the delivery of the Agilent Services and have authority to act on Agilent’s behalf with respect to matters relating to the provision of Services under this Agreement. The Agilent Services Manager will work with the personnel of the Agilent Group to periodically address issues and matters raised by the Keysight Group relating to the provision of Services under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 8.07, all communications from Keysight to Agilent pursuant to this Agreement regarding routine matters involving a Service shall be made through the Agilent Services Manager or such other individual as may be specified by the Agilent Services Manager in accordance with Section 8.07 (such other individual, the “Agilent Local Service Manager”). Agilent shall notify Keysight of the appointment of a different Agilent Services Manager or Agilent Local Service Manager(s), if necessary, in accordance with Section 8.07.

(b) Keysight hereby appoints and designates the individual holding the Keysight position set forth on Exhibit I to act as its initial services manager (the “Keysight Services Manager”), who will be directly responsible for coordinating and managing the delivery of the Keysight Services and have authority to act on Keysight’s behalf with respect to matters relating to the provision of Services under this Agreement. The Keysight Services Manager will work with the personnel of the Keysight Group to periodically address issues and matters raised by the Agilent Group relating to the provision of Services under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 8.07, all communications from Agilent to Keysight pursuant to this Agreement regarding routine matters involving a Service shall be made through the Keysight Services Manager or such other individual as may be specified by the Keysight Services Manager in accordance with Section 8.07 (such other individual, the “Keysight Local Service Manager”). Keysight shall notify Agilent of the appointment of a different Keysight

Services Manager or Keysight Local Service Manager(s), if necessary, in accordance with Section 8.07.

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 payable hereunder or relieve the Provider of its obligation to provide any Service hereunder; 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 will not be deemed a breach of this Agreement by the Provider; 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 Transaction Document 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.

ARTICLE III
ADDITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS

Section 3.01. Computer-Based and Other Resources. From and after the date of this Agreement, each Party and its Affiliates shall cause all of their personnel having access to the computer software, networks, hardware, technology or computer-based resources of the other Party and its Affiliates in connection with the 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 such other Party and its Affiliates of which written notice is provided by such other Party. Each Party shall ensure that the access contemplated by this Section 3.01 shall be used by its 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 Transaction Document or any other applicable agreement or as required in connection with the performance, receipt or delivery of a Service, 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 date of this Agreement.

(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 3.03. 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 the assignment or transfer of the rights and obligations under any third-party contracts relating to the Services); provided, however, that this

Section 3.03 shall not require either Party to incur any out-of-pocket costs or expenses unless and except as expressly provided in this Agreement or otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties.

Subject to Article IV of the Separation Agreement, the Provider shall only process personal data which it may receive from the Recipient while carrying out its duties under this Agreement: (a) in such a manner as is necessary to carry out those duties; (b) in accordance with the instructions of the Recipient; and (c) using appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent the unauthorized or unlawful processing of such personal data and/or the accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, such personal data.

ARTICLE IV
COSTS AND DISBURSEMENTS

Section 4.01. 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 applicable Schedule. With respect to each Service or category of Services, the applicable Schedule shall set forth (i) the Recipient that will be invoiced the Service Charge for such Service or category of Services and (ii) the Provider that will be paid such Service Charge.

(b) 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, the Provider shall provide the Recipient with documentation to support the calculation of such Service Charges.

(c) The Provider shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Provider or its Affiliates in connection with providing the Services (including necessary travel-related expenses) to the extent that such costs and expenses are not reflected in the Service Charge for such Services.

(d) The Recipient shall pay the amount of each monthly invoice of Service Charges by wire transfer (or such other method of payment as may be agreed between the Parties) to the Provider within forty-five (45) days of the receipt of each such invoice, including appropriate documentation as described herein, as instructed by the Provider. If the Recipient fails to pay any undisputed amount by the due date, the Recipient shall be obligated to pay to the Provider, in addition to the amount due, interest at an annual default interest rate of five percent (5%) or the maximum legal rate, whichever is lower (the “Interest Payment”), on such undisputed amount, accruing from the date the payment was due through the date of actual payment. The Recipient shall notify the Provider promptly, and in no event later than forty-five (45) days following receipt of the Provider’s invoice, of any disputed amounts. After such forty-five (45)-day period, the Recipient will be deemed to have accepted the Provider’s invoice. Any such Dispute shall be handled in accordance with Section 8.06. The Recipient shall pay any undisputed amount in accordance with this Section 4.01(d). All amounts due and payable

hereunder shall be invoiced and paid in (i) U.S. dollars or (ii) if the parties so agree, a foreign currency. Services provided by any Provider that is domiciled outside of the United States to a Recipient that is domiciled outside the United States may be billed separately on an invoice between the two non-US Business Entities. Section 4.02 shall apply to these invoices accordingly. The Provider shall provide supporting information and documentation as reasonably requested by the Recipient to validate any amounts payable by the Recipient pursuant to this Section 4.01.

(e) Subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 8.03, each Party shall, and shall 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 fiscal quarter.

(f) Any costs and expenses incurred by either Party in connection with obtaining any third-party consent contemplated by Section 5.01(b) that is required to allow the Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service shall be borne by the Recipient.

Section 4.02. Tax Matters. (a) All Service Charges (and prices charged therefor) are exclusive of any value added, goods and services, sales and use, consumption taxes or any other applicable Transaction Taxes. 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 Taxes (“VAT”) and (iii) any related interest and penalties (collectively, “Transaction Taxes”) that Provider is not at fault for causing, in each case imposed or assessed as a result of the provision of Services by the Provider. To the extent that cross-border Services to be performed hereunder fall within Article 44 of the EU VAT Directive or the relevant equivalent national provision and the Provider is not required to charge VAT, the Recipient agrees that it will itself account for VAT in its own jurisdiction on the performance of such cross-border Services made to it hereunder and will provide to the Provider a valid VAT registration number, certificate (or equivalent documentation) in the jurisdiction with respect to the country or region of receipt of such cross-border Services. The Provider will issue legally compliant invoices to the Recipient usable by the Recipient to recover (by way of credit or refund) Transaction Taxes in jurisdictions where they are recoverable. In the event the Tax authorities question the Transaction Tax treatment of the Services provided, the Provider and the Recipient will work together to issue corrected invoices where applicable. The Recipient and the Provider agree to utilize commercially reasonable efforts to collaborate regarding any requests for information, audit, controls or similar requests of the Tax authorities concerning Transaction Taxes and which involve the Services provided under this Agreement. The Provider and the Recipient agree to take commercially reasonable actions to cooperate in obtaining any refund, return or rebate, or applying zero-rating for Services giving rise to any Transaction Taxes, including filing any necessary exemption or other similar forms or providing valid VAT identification numbers or other relevant registration numbers, 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 Transaction 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 collect or obtain, or allowed to separately invoice for and collect or 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 to the Provider pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent any amounts are so withheld, the Recipient shall (i) pay such deducted and withheld amount to the proper Governmental Authority and (ii) 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, make commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Recipient any certificate or other documentary evidence (A) required by any Tax Law or (B) which the Provider is entitled by any Tax Law to provide in order to reduce the amount of any Taxes that may be deducted or withheld from such payment, and the Recipient agrees to accept and act in reliance on any such duly and properly executed certificate or other applicable documentary evidence.

Section 4.03. No Right to Set-Off. The Recipient shall timely pay the full amount of Service 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 V
STANDARD FOR SERVICE

Section 5.01. 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 prior to the Distribution Date or, if not so previously provided, then substantially similar to those 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 prior to the Distribution Date or, with respect to services for which same or similar services were not provided prior to the Distribution Date, in a manner that is substantially similar to the manner in which such Provider or its Affiliates responds with respect to internally provided services. 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 5.01 so long as the applicable Provider complies with the foregoing clause (ii).

(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 applicable Law or any existing contract or agreement with a third party. 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 Section 5.01(a), subject to Section 4.01(f). 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 Law, 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 Section 5.01(a) that would apply absent the exception provided for in the first sentence of this Section 5.01(b).

Section 5.03. 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.

The Liabilities of each Provider and its Affiliates and Representatives, collectively, under this Agreement for any act or failure to act in connection herewith (including the performance or breach of this Agreement), or from the sale, delivery, provision or use of any Services provided under or contemplated by this Agreement, whether in contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or otherwise, at law or equity, except for breaches of confidentiality obligations or in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not exceed the total aggregate Service Charges actually paid to such Provider and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 6.03. Obligation to Re-perform; 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 (b) subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 6.01 and 6.02, reimburse the Recipient and its Affiliates and Representatives for Liabilities attributable to such breach by the Provider. The remedy set forth in this Section 6.03 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 6.03 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.

The provisions of Sections 6.03, 6.04 and 6.05 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 Liability, whether arising from statute, principle of common or civil law, principles of strict liability, tort, contract or otherwise under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII
TERM AND TERMINATION

Section 7.01. Term and Termination. (a) This Agreement shall commence immediately upon the date hereof 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.

(b) (i) Without prejudice to a Recipient’s rights with respect to a Force Majeure set forth in Section 7.03(b), a Recipient may from time to time terminate this Agreement with respect to the entirety of any individual Service but not a portion thereof:

(A) for any reason or no reason, effective as of the end of a calendar month, upon providing at least thirty (30) days’ (or such other period as may be specified in the Schedules) prior written notice to the Provider; provided, however, that the 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) (“Termination Charges”); or

(B) 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.

(ii) A Provider may terminate this Agreement with respect to one or more Services, in whole but not in part, at any time upon prior written notice to the Recipient if the Recipient has failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement relating to such Services, including making payment of Service Charges when

due, and such failure shall continue uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by the Recipient of a written notice of such failure from the Provider.

(iii) The relevant Schedule shall be updated to remove any Service terminated under Section 7.01(b)(i) or (ii).

(iv) 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 7.01(b)(i)(A), then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend the Schedule relating to such affected continuing Service.

(c) In connection with the termination of any Service identified on the Schedules as being subject to the provisions of this Section 7.01(c), if the Recipient reasonably determines that it will require such Service to continue beyond the date on which such Service is scheduled to terminate in the applicable Schedule, the Recipient may request the Provider to extend such Service for the stated renewal period(s) applicable to such Service on the applicable Schedule hereto (each, a “Service Extension”) by written notice to the Provider no less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such scheduled termination (or, in the case of a Service with multiple Service Extensions, thirty (30) days prior to the date the immediately preceding Service Extension terminates), and the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such Service Extension; provided, however, that (i) the maximum number of Service Extensions with respect to each Service shall be as specified in the applicable Schedule, (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 and (iii) each Service Extension shall be permissible under applicable Law. Within five (5) days following either Party’s receipt of a written notice requesting a Service Extension, the Parties shall in good faith (x) negotiate the terms of an amendment to the applicable Schedule and (y) determine the costs and expenses (which shall not include any Service Charges payable under this Agreement), 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 Recipient. Each such 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 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 7.02. 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 applicable 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 (a) the Service Charges owed and payable in respect of Services provided prior to the effective date of termination and (b) any applicable Termination Charges payable in the event that the Recipient terminates such Service pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(i)(A). 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 VI (including liability in respect of any indemnifiable Liabilities under this Agreement arising or occurring on or prior to the date of termination), this Section 7.02, Article VIII, all confidentiality obligations under this Agreement and liability for all due and unpaid Service Charges and Termination Charges shall continue to survive indefinitely.

Section 7.03. 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) 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 (or with respect to other internally provided services in the event the Provider does not provide such Services to its Affiliates). 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 Services are affected by a Force Majeure, the Recipient shall be entitled to permanently terminate such Service(s) if a Force Majeure shall continue to exist for more than fifteen (15) consecutive days (and shall be relieved of the obligation to pay Service Charges for such Services(s) during such period), it being understood that the Recipient shall not be required to provide any advance notice of such termination to the applicable Provider or pay any Termination Charges pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(i)(A).

ARTICLE VIII
GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 8.01. 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. The Provider of any Service under this Agreement shall act as an independent contractor and not 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.

Section 8.02. 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 V and the content of the Services provided to the Recipient.

Section 8.03. Treatment of Confidential Information. (a) The Parties shall not, and shall cause 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 or as contemplated by 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 Party’s 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: (i) to its Representatives on a need-to-know basis in connection with the performance of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) in any report, statement, testimony or other submission required to be made to any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the disclosing Party; or (iii) 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 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 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 Confidential Information 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.

(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.

Section 8.04. Further Assurances. Each Party hereto shall take, or cause to be taken, any and all reasonable actions, including the execution, acknowledgment, filing and delivery of any and all documents and instruments that any other Party hereto may reasonably request in

order to effect the intent and purpose of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 8.05. Audit Assistance. Each of the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries are or may be subject to regulation and audit by Governmental Authorities (including taxing authorities), standards organizations, customers or other parties to contracts with such Parties or their respective Subsidiaries under applicable Law, standards or contract provisions. If a Governmental Authority, standards organization, customer or other Party to a contract with a Party or its Subsidiary exercises its right to examine or audit such Party’s or its Subsidiary’s books, records, documents or accounting practices and procedures pursuant to such applicable Law, standards or contract provisions, and such examination or audit relates to the Services, then the other Party shall provide, at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party, all assistance reasonably requested by the Party that is subject to the examination or audit in responding to such examination or audits or requests for Information, to the extent that such assistance or Information is within the reasonable control of the cooperating Party and is related to the Services.

Section 8.06. Dispute Resolution. (a) In the event of any Dispute, the Parties agree that the Agilent Services Manager and the Keysight Services Manager (or such other persons as Agilent and Keysight may designate) shall negotiate in good faith in an attempt to resolve such Dispute amicably. If such Dispute has not been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of Agilent and Keysight within fifteen (15) days after the initial written notice of the Dispute (or such longer period as the Parties may agree), then such Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article VII 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 VII of the Separation Agreement.

(b) In any Dispute regarding the amount of a Service Charge, if after such Dispute is finally resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution process set forth or referred to in Section 8.06(a), it is determined that the Service Charge that the Provider has invoiced the Recipient, and that the Recipient has paid to the Provider, is greater or less than the amount that the Service Charge should have been, then (i) if it is determined that the Recipient has overpaid the Service Charge, the Provider shall within five (5) Business Days after such determination reimburse the Recipient an amount of cash equal to such overpayment, plus the Interest Payment, accruing from the date of payment by the Recipient to the time of reimbursement by the Provider; and (ii) if it is determined that the Recipient has underpaid the Service Charge, the Recipient shall within five (5) Business Days after such determination reimburse the Provider an amount of cash equal to such underpayment, plus the Interest Payment, accruing from the date such payment originally should have been made by the Recipient to the time of payment by the Recipient.

Section 8.07. Notices. Except with respect to routine communications by the Agilent Services Manager (or Agilent Local Service Manager) and Keysight Services Manager (or Keysight Local Service 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, by facsimile or electronic transmission with receipt confirmed
