Section 2.1 Services.
(a) Initial Services. Except as otherwise provided herein, for the term determined pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, Providing Company shall provide or cause to be provided to Receiving Company the "Initial Services" set forth in Exhibit A. With respect to each Initial Service set forth therein, Exhibit A sets forth (i) the Receiving Company, (ii) a description of such Initial Service, (iii) the time period during which the Initial Service will be provided, (iv) the charge, if any, for the Initial Service and (v) any other terms applicable thereto.
(b) Additional Services.
(i) From time to time after the Distribution Date, the parties may identify additional services that Providing Company will provide to Receiving Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the "Additional Services" and, together with the Initial Services, the "Services"). The parties shall amend Exhibit A from time to time to incorporate each Additional Service, setting forth the identity of Providing Company and Receiving Company, a description of the Service, the time period during which the Service will be provided, the charge, if any, for the Service and any other terms applicable thereto. Except as set forth in Section 2.1(b)(ii), the parties may, but shall not be required to, agree on Additional Services during the term of this Agreement.
(ii) Except as set forth in the next sentence, Providing Company shall be obligated to perform, at charges established pursuant to Section 2.3(b), any Additional Service that: (A) it provided to Receiving Company immediately prior to the Effective Date and that Receiving Company reasonably believes was inadvertently or unintentionally omitted from the list of Initial Services or (B) is essential to effectuate an orderly transition under the Distribution Agreement, unless such performance would significantly disrupt Providing Company's operations. If Providing Company reasonably believes the performance of Additional Services required under (A) or (B) of the immediate preceding sentence would significantly disrupt its operations, Providing Company and Receiving Company shall negotiate in good faith to establish terms under which Providing Company can provide such Additional Services, but Providing Company shall not be obligated to provide such Additional Services if, following such good faith negotiation, it is unable to reach agreement on such terms.
(c) Services Performed by Others. At its option, Providing Company may cause any Service it is required to provide hereunder to be provided by another member of its Group or by any other Person that is providing, or may from time to time provide, the same or similar services for Providing Company. Providing Company shall remain responsible, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, for performance of any Service it causes to be so provided.
(d) MOD-PAC Services. For the term determined pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, MOD-PAC shall lease to Astronics approximately 1500 square feet of office space at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx for a monthly rental amount of $850.
Section 2.2 Term.
The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect through the Expiration Date, unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 2.7. Services shall be provided up to and including the date set forth in Exhibit A, subject to earlier termination as provided herein.
Section 2.3 Charges and Cost Allocation; Payment.
(a) Charges for Initial Services. Receiving Company shall pay Providing Company the charges, if any, set forth in Section 2.3(c). The parties intend for these charges to allow Providing Company to recover the fully allocated direct costs of providing such Initial Services, plus all out-of-pocket, third party costs, charges or expenses, but without any profit. Where the number of employees assigned by each party to jointly support a Service is in proportion to the parties' historical or expected use of such Service, and each party is responsible for the costs and expenses of its employees so assigned, recovery shall be limited to other direct costs.
(b) Charges for Additional Services. Receiving Company shall pay Providing Company the charges, if any, set forth in Exhibit A for each of the Additional Services listed therein. Charges, if any, for Additional Services, including those required by Section 2.1(b)(ii), shall be determined according to methods in use prior to the Effective Date or such other method as may be mutually agreed that ensures that Providing Company recovers costs and expenses, but without any profit, in accordance with Section 2.3(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the agreement of a party to provide or receive any Additional Service that is not required pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii) at any given rate or charge shall be at the sole discretion of such party.
(c) Allocation of Costs; Payment Terms. Prior to the beginning of each calendar quarter of the term of this Agreement, MOD-PAC and LSI shall determine the nature of the Services required for such quarter and the budgeted cost therefor. On the first day of each month of such quarter, each of MOD-PAC and LSI respectively shall pay to Astronics one-third (1/3) of its respective share of such budgeted amount based upon their respective Sales for the prior quarter. Thirty (30) days after the end of such quarter, Astronics shall determine the actual costs of such Services and shall allocate such costs between MOD-PAC and LSI based upon their respective Sales for such quarter. To the extent the budgeted cost paid by MOD-PAC or LSI, as the case may be, for such Services is greater than the actual cost, Astronics shall pay such excess to MOD-PAC or LSI, as the case may be, their respective share of such excess. To the extent the actual charge for such Services is greater than the budgeted amount, each of MOD-PAC and LSI shall pay to Astronics their respective share of such shortfall. Within thirty (30) days of the end of each quarter, Astronics shall deliver to MOD-PAC and LSI an invoice setting forth in reasonable detail the Services provided for such quarter, the cost therefor and the calculation of the allocated cost between MOD-PAC and LSI. All payments hereunder, whether from Astronics to MOD-PAC and LSI, or from MOD-PAC and LSI to Astronics, shall be made within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice. Late payments shall bear interest at the rate of seven percent (7%) per annum. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the services of Xxxxx X. Xxxxx shall not be deemed to be a Service hereunder, and his compensation as Chairman of the Board of MOD-PAC and Astronics shall not be allocated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.3(c), but rather shall be paid directly by MOD-PAC and Astronics directly.
(e) Performance under Ancillary Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, MOD-PAC shall not be charged under this Agreement for any services that are specifically required to be performed by Providing Company under the Distribution Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, and any such services shall be performed and charged for in accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreement or such other Ancillary Agreement.
(f) Records. As needed from time to time during the period during which Services are provided, and upon termination of the provision of any Services, the parties agree to provide each other with records (in any format, electronic or otherwise) related to the provision of Services under this Agreement to the extent that (i) such records exist in the ordinary course, (ii) do not involve the incurrence of any material expenses and (iii) are reasonably necessary by any party to comply with its obligations hereunder or under applicable law.
Section 2.4 General Obligations; Standard of Care.
(a) Performance Standards: Providing Company. Subject to Section 2.5(c), Providing Company shall maintain sufficient resources to perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with the specific performance standards set forth in Exhibit A. Where no specific performance standards are set forth in Exhibit A with respect to a Service, Providing Company shall use reasonable efforts to provide such Service in accordance with the policies, procedures and practices in effect before the date hereof in providing such Service to Receiving Company, and shall exercise the same care and skill as it exercises in performing similar services for itself.
(b) Performance Standards: Receiving Company. Specific performance standards for Receiving Company in connection with any Service may be set forth in Exhibit A. Where no specific performance standards are set forth in Exhibit A with respect to such Service, Receiving Company shall use reasonable efforts in connection with receiving Services, to follow the policies, procedures and practices in effect before the date hereof including providing information and documentation sufficient for Providing Company to perform the Services as they were performed for Receiving Company before the date hereof and making available, as reasonably requested by Providing Company, sufficient resources and timely decisions, approvals and acceptances in order that Providing Company may accomplish its obligations hereunder in a timely manner.
(c) Transitional Nature of Services; Changes. The parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services and that Providing Company may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services if Providing Company is making similar changes in performing similar services for members of its own Group and if Providing Company furnishes to Receiving Company thirty (30) days prior written notice (a "Change Notice") respecting such changes.
(d) Responsibility for Errors; Delays. The sole responsibility of Providing Company to Receiving Company:
(i) for errors or omissions in providing Services, shall be to furnish correct information, payment and/or adjustment in the Services, at no additional cost or expense to Receiving Company; provided, however, Receiving Company must promptly advise Providing Company of any such error or omission of which it becomes aware after having used reasonable efforts to detect any such errors or omissions in accordance with the standard of care set forth in Section 2.4(b); and
(ii) for failure to deliver any Service because of Impracticability, shall be to use reasonable efforts, subject to Section 2.5(c), to make the Services available and/or to resume performing the Services as promptly as reasonably practicable.
(e) Good Faith Cooperation; Consents. The parties will use good faith efforts to cooperate with each other in all matters relating to the provision and receipt of Services. Such cooperation shall include exchanging information, providing electronic access to systems used in connection with Services, performing true-ups and adjustments and obtaining all consents, licenses, sublicenses or approvals necessary to permit each party to perform its obligations hereunder. The costs of obtaining such consents, licenses, sublicenses or approvals shall be allocated in accordance with Section 2.3(a). The parties will maintain documentation supporting the information contained in Exhibit A and cooperate with each other in making such information available as needed in the event of a federal, state or local tax audit.
(f) Alternatives. If Providing Company reasonably believes it is unable to provide any Service because of a failure to obtain necessary consents, licenses, sublicenses or approvals pursuant to Section 2.4(e) or because of Impracticability, the parties shall cooperate to determine the best alternative approach. Until such alternative approach is found or the problem otherwise resolved to the satisfaction of the parties, Providing Company shall use reasonable efforts, subject to Sections 2.5(b) and 2.5(c), to continue providing the Service.
Section 2.5 Certain Limitations.
(a) Service Boundaries.

(b) Impracticability. Providing Company shall not be required to provide any Service to the extent the performance of such Service becomes "Impracticable" as a result of a cause or causes outside the reasonable control of Providing Company including unfeasible technological requirements, or to the extent the performance of such Services would require Providing Company to violate any applicable laws, rules or regulations or would result in the breach of any software license or other applicable contract.
(c) Additional Resources. Except as provided in Exhibit A for a specific Service, in providing the Services, Providing Company shall not be obligated to: (i) hire any additional employees; (ii) maintain the employment of any specific employee; (iii) purchase, lease or license any additional equipment or software; or (iv) pay any costs related to the transfer or conversion of Receiving Company's data to Receiving Company or any alternate supplier of Services.
