Xxxxxx/Xxxxxxxx Services Agreement

- 3 -

2.2 Descriptions in Schedules. For each Service, the Parties shall describe in a Transition Service Schedule, among other things, the time period during which the Service will be provided if different from the term of this Agreement determined pursuant to Article 4, a summary of the Service to be provided; a description of the Service; and the charge, if any, for the Service and any other terms applicable thereto on the Transition Service Schedule. Obligations regarding each Transition Service Schedule shall be effective upon execution of this Agreement. All the Transition Service Schedules shall be deemed incorporated in this Agreement wherever reference to such a schedule is made.

3. Services.

3.1 Services Generally. Except as otherwise provided herein, for the term determined pursuant to Article 4 hereof, either Party shall provide or cause to be provided to the other Party the service(s) described in the Transition Service Schedule(s) attached hereto. The service(s) described on a single Transition Service Schedule shall be referred to herein as a "Service." Collectively, the services described on all the Transition Service Schedules (including Additional Services) shall be referred to in this Agreement as "Services."

3.2 Service Boundaries. Except as provided in a Transition Service Schedule for a specific Service, the Parties shall be required to provide the Services only to the extent and only at the locations and substantially in the manner as business was conducted prior to the Effective Date of the Purchase Agreement

3.3 Impracticability. Neither Party shall 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 such Party including unfeasible technological requirements, or to the extent the performance of such Services would require either Party to violate any applicable laws, rules or regulations.

3.4 Additional Resources. Except as provided in a Transition Service Schedule for a specific Service, in providing the Services, neither Party shall be obligated to: (i) hire any additional employees; (ii) maintain the employment of any specific employee; or (iii) purchase, lease or license any additional equipment or software. Further, XXXXXX shall not be obligated to pay any costs related to the transfer or conversion of XXXXXX’ data to Carleton or any alternate supplier of Services.

3.5 Additional Services. From time to time after the Effective Date, the Parties may identify additional services that one Party will provide to the other Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the "Additional Services"). Accordingly, the Parties shall execute additional Transition Service Schedules for such Additional Services pursuant to Article 2. Except as set forth in Section 3.6, the Parties may agree in writing for the provision of Additional Services during the term of this Agreement.

Xxxxxx/Xxxxxxxx Services Agreement

- 4 -

3.6 Obligations as To Additional Services. Except as set forth in the next sentence, each Party shall be obligated to perform, at a charge determined using the principles for determining fees under Section 5.1, any Additional Service that: (a) was provided by XXXXXX in support of the Operations immediately prior to the effective date of the Purchase Agreement and that Carleton reasonably believes was inadvertently or unintentionally omitted from the list of Services, or (b) is essential to effectuate an orderly transition of XXXXXX’ continuing sales and administrative operations at the Facility, unless such performance would, in either case, significantly disrupt the performing Party’s operations or materially increase the scope of its responsibility under this Agreement. If either Party reasonably believes the performance of Additional Services required under subparagraphs (a) or (b) would significantly disrupt its operations or materially increase the scope of its responsibility under this Agreement, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to establish terms under which such Additional Services can be provided, but neither Party shall be obligated to provide such Additional Services if, following good faith negotiation, the Parties are unable to reach agreement on such terms.

4. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until one year after the Effective Date (the "Expiration Date"), unless earlier terminated under Article 7. This Agreement may be extended by the Parties in writing, either in whole or with respect to one or more of the Services; provided, however, that such extension shall only apply to the Services for which the Agreement was extended. The Parties shall be deemed to have extended this Agreement with respect to a specific Service if the Transition Service Schedule for such Service specifies a completion date beyond the aforementioned Expiration Date. The Parties may agree on an earlier expiration date respecting a specific Service by specifying such date on the Transition Service Schedule for that Service. Services shall be provided up to and including the date set forth in the applicable Transition Service Schedule, subject to earlier termination as provided herein.

5. Compensation.

5.1 Charges for Services. Carleton shall pay XXXXXX the estimated charges, if any, set forth on the Transition Service Schedules for each of the Xxxxxx Services listed therein and XXXXXX shall pay Carleton the estimated charges, if any, set forth on the Transition Service Schedules for each of the Carleton Services in each case as adjusted, from time to time, in accordance with the processes and procedures established under Section 5.4 and Section 5.5 hereof. Such charges shall include the direct costs, as determined using the process described in such Transition Service Schedule, and indirect costs of providing the Services (deemed to be 10% of the direct costs), unless specifically indicated otherwise on a Transition Service Schedule. However, if the term of this Agreement is extended beyond the Expiration Date as provided in Article 4, the costs of Carleton Services and Xxxxxx Services shall be increased by 5% annually unless the Transition Service Schedule for such Service indicates it is to extend beyond the Expiration Date. The Parties also intend for charges to be easy to administer and justify and, therefore, they hereby acknowledge it may be counterproductive to try to recover every cost, charge or expense, particularly those that are insignificant or de minimus. The Parties shall use good faith efforts to discuss any situation in which the actual cost for a particular Service is reasonably expected to exceed the estimated charge, if any, set forth on a Transition Service Schedule for such Service; provided, however, that the incurrence of charges in excess of any such charges on such Transition Service Schedule shall not justify stopping or delaying unreasonably the provision of, or payment for, Services under this Agreement.

Xxxxxx/Carleton Services Agreement

5.2 Payment Terms. Each Party shall xxxx the other monthly for all charges pursuant to this Agreement within 15 days following the end of a calendar month. Such bills shall be accompanied by reasonable documentation or other reasonable explanation supporting such charges. For any given month: (a) if the charges for the Carleton Services exceed the charges for the Xxxxxx Services, then XXXXXX shall pay Carleton the positive difference between the charges for Carleton Services and the charges for Xxxxxx Services provided hereunder within 15 days after receipt of Carleton’s invoice, or (b) if the charges for the Xxxxxx Services exceed the charges for the Carleton Services, then Carleton shall pay XXXXXX the positive difference between the charges for Xxxxxx Services and the charges for Carleton Services provided hereunder within 15 days after receipt XXXXXX’ invoice. Late payments by either Party shall bear interest at the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate allowed by law.

5.3 Performance Under Ancillary Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither Party shall be charged under this Agreement for any obligations that are specifically required to be performed under the Purchase Agreement, the OEM Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, and any such other obligations shall be performed and charged for (if applicable) in accordance with the terms such other Ancillary Agreement.

5.4 Error Correction; True-Ups; Accounting. The Parties shall reasonably agree on a process and procedure for conducting internal audits and making adjustments to charges as a result of the movement of employees and functions between Parties, the discovery of errors or omissions in charges, as well as a true-up of amounts owed. In no event shall such processes and procedures extend beyond two years after completion of a Service.

6. General Obligations; Standard of Care.

6.1 Performance Metrics . Subject to Sections 3.4 and any other terms and conditions of this Agreement, both Parties shall maintain sufficient resources to perform their obligations hereunder. Specific performance metrics for a specific Service may be set forth in the corresponding Transition Service Schedule. Where none is set forth, the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to provide Services in accordance with the policies, procedures and practices in effect before the Effective Date of the Purchase Agreement and shall exercise the same care and skill as they exercise in performing similar services for themselves.

6.2 Disclaimer of Warranties. NEITHER XXXXXX NOR CARLETON MAKES ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES OR OTHER DELIVERABLES PROVIDED BY IT HEREUNDER.

Xxxxxx/Xxxxxxxx Services Agreement

6.3 Transitional Nature of Services; Changes. The Parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services and that either Party may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services if such party is making similar changes in performing similar services for itself and furnishes 60 days written notice to the other Party regarding such changes.

6.4 Responsibility for Errors; Delays. Each Party’s sole responsibility to the other Party:

(a) for errors or omissions in Services, shall be to furnish correct information, payment and/or adjustment in the Services, at no additional cost or expense to the other Party; provided, each party must promptly advise the other 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 6.1; and

(b) for failure to deliver any Service because of Impracticability, shall be to use reasonable efforts, subject to Section 3.3, to make the Services available and/or to resume performing the Services as promptly as reasonably practicable.

6.5 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, performing true-ups and adjustments, and obtaining all Third Party consents, licenses, sublicenses or approvals necessary to permit each Party to perform its obligations hereunder (including by way of example, not by way of limitation, rights to use Third Party software needed for the performance of Services). The costs of obtaining such Third Party consents, licenses, sublicenses or approvals shall be borne by the Party receiving the Services in each case. The Parties will maintain in accordance with their standard document retention procedures, documentation supporting the information relevant to cost calculations contained in the Transition Service Schedules (if any) and cooperate with each other in making such information available as needed in the event of a tax audit, whether in Canada or any other country.

6.6 Alternatives. If either Party reasonably believes it is unable to provide any Service because of a failure to obtain necessary consents, licenses, sublicenses or approvals pursuant to Section 6.6 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, either Party shall use reasonable efforts, subject to Section 3.3 and Section 3.4, to continue providing the Service. To the extent an agreed upon alternative approach requires payment above and beyond that which is included in the performing Party’s charge for the Service in question, the Parties shall share equally in making any such payment unless they otherwise agree in writing.

7. Termination.

7.1 Termination. Carleton may terminate this Agreement, either with respect to all or with respect to any one or more of the Xxxxxx Services provided hereunder, for any reason or for no reason, at any time upon 60 days prior written notice to XXXXXX. XXXXXX may terminate this Agreement, either with respect to all or with respect to any one or more of the Carleton Services provided hereunder, for any reason or for no reason, at any time upon 60 days prior written notice to Carleton. In addition, subject to the provisions of Article 16 below, either Party may terminate this Agreement with respect to a specific Service if the other Party materially breaches a material provision with regard to that particular Service and does not cure such breach (or does not take reasonable steps required under the circumstances to cure such breach going forward) within 60 days after being given notice of the breach; provided, however, that the non-terminating Party may request that the Parties engage in a dispute resolution negotiation as specified in Article 16 below prior to termination for breach.

Xxxxxx/Xxxxxxxx Services Agreement

- 7 -

7.2 Survival. Those Sections of this Agreement that, by their nature, are intended to survive termination will survive in accordance with their terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any termination with respect to one or more, but less than all Services, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any Services not terminated hereby.

7.3 User Ids, Passwords. The Parties shall use good faith efforts at the termination or expiration of this Agreement or any specific Service hereto to ensure that all applicable user IDs and passwords, if any, are canceled.

8. Relationship Between the Parties. The relationship between the Parties established under this Agreement is that of independent contractors and neither Party is an employee, agent, partner, or joint venturer of or with the other. Each party will be solely responsible for any employment-related taxes, insurance premiums or other employment benefits respecting its personnel’s' performance of Services under this Agreement. Each party agrees to grant the other Party’s personnel access to sites, systems and information (subject to the provisions of confidentiality in Article 13 below) as necessary to perform their obligations hereunder. Each Party’s personnel agree to obey any and all security regulations and other published policies of the other Party.

9. Subcontractors. Either Party may engage a "Subcontractor" to perform all or any portion of its duties under this Agreement, provided that any such Subcontractor agrees in writing to be bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as the terms of Article 13 regarding confidentiality below, and provided further that such Party remains responsible for the performance of such Subcontractor. As used in this Agreement, "Subcontractor" will mean any individual, partnership, corporation, firm, association, unincorporated organization, joint venture, trust or other entity engaged to perform hereunder.

10. Intellectual Property.

Xxxxxx/Xxxxxxxx Services Agreement

- 8 -

10.2 Existing Ownership Rights Unaffected. Neither Party will gain, by virtue of this Agreement, any rights of ownership of copyrights, patents, trade secrets, trademarks or any other intellectual property rights owned by the other.

11. Infringement Defense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article 13 below, to the extent XXXXXX delivers or licenses any intellectual property to Carleton after the Effective Date in performance of this Agreement, XXXXXX agrees to defend Carleton and its directors, officers, employees and agents against any and all claims, actions or suits (any of the foregoing, a "Claim") incurred by or asserted against Carleton based upon infringement of a Third Party patent or other intellectual property right. Carleton agrees to notify XXXXXX promptly of any Claim and permit XXXXXX at XXXXXX'x expense to defend such Claim and will cooperate in the defense thereof. XXXXXX agrees to pay any awards or settlement amounts arising from a Claim. Neither XXXXXX nor Xxxxxxxx will enter into or permit any settlement of any such Claim without the express written consent of the other Party. Carleton may, at its option and expense, have its own counsel participate in any proceeding that is under the direction of XXXXXX and will cooperate with XXXXXX and its insurer in the disposition of any such matter.

12. Confidentiality and Non-Use Obligations. During the term of this agreement and for a period of 3 years thereafter, the each Party shall (i) protect the Confidential Information of the other Party by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination, or publication of the Confidential Information as Receiving Party uses to protect its own confidential information of a like nature, (ii) not use such Confidential Information in violation of any use restriction, and (iii) not disclose such Confidential Information to any Third Party, except as expressly permitted under this Agreement, in the Transaction Agreements or in any other agreements entered into between the Parties in writing, without prior written consent of the other Party.

13. Limitation of Liability. Neither Party will be liable to the other for any lost profits, loss of data, loss of use, cost of cover, business interruption or other special, incidental, indirect, punitive or consequential damages, however caused, under any theory of liability, arising from the performance of, or relating to, this agreement. The foregoing limitation will not limit XXXXXX'x obligations with respect to payment of damages of any kind included in an award or settlement of a Third Party claim under any indemnity or infringement defense provisions specified herein.

14. Force Majeure. Each Party will be excused for any failure or delay in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement, other than the obligations of either Party to make certain payments to the other Party pursuant to Article 5 hereof for services rendered, if such failure or delay is caused by Force Majeure. "Force Majeure" means any act of God or the public enemy, any accident, explosion, fire, storm, earthquake, flood, or any other circumstance or event beyond the reasonable control of the Party relying upon such circumstance or event.

15. Dispute Resolution.

15.1 Mediation. If a dispute, controversy or claim ("Dispute") arises between the Parties relating to the interpretation or performance of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, or the grounds for the termination hereof, appropriate senior executives of each Party who shall have the authority to resolve the matter shall meet to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute prior to pursuing other available remedies. The initial meeting between the appropriate senior executives shall be referred to herein as the "Dispute Resolution Commencement Date." Discussions and correspondence relating to trying to resolve such Dispute shall be treated as confidential information developed for the purpose of settlement and shall be exempt from discovery or production and shall not be admissible. If the senior executives are unable to resolve the Dispute within 30 days from the Dispute Resolution Commencement Date, and either Party wishes to pursue its rights relating to such Dispute, then the Dispute will be mediated by a mutually acceptable mediator appointed pursuant to the mediation rules of New York within 30 days after written notice by one Party to the other demanding non-binding mediation. Neither Party may unreasonably withhold consent to the selection of a mediator or the location of the mediation. Both Parties will share the costs of the mediation equally, except that each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses, including attorney's fees, witness fees, travel expenses, and preparation costs. The Parties may also agree to replace mediation with some other form of non-binding or binding ADR [need to define this acronym].

15.2 Arbitration. Any Dispute which the Parties cannot resolve through mediation within 90 days of the Dispute Resolution Commencement Date, unless otherwise mutually agreed, shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration under the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), by three arbitrators in New York City, New York. Such arbitrators shall be selected by the mutual agreement of the Parties or, failing such agreement, shall be selected according to the aforesaid AAA rules. The arbitrators will be instructed to prepare and deliver a written, reasoned opinion stating their decision within 30 days of the completion of the arbitration. The prevailing Party in such arbitration shall be entitled to expenses, including costs and reasonable attorneys' and other professional fees, incurred in connection with the arbitration (but excluding any costs and fees associated with prior negotiation or mediation). The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and non-appealable and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The use of any ADR procedures will not be construed under the doctrine of laches, waiver or estoppel to adversely affect the rights of either Party.

15.3 Court Action. Any Dispute regarding the following is not required to be negotiated, mediated or arbitrated prior to seeking relief from a court of competent jurisdiction: breach of any obligation of confidentiality; infringement, misappropriation, or misuse of any intellectual property right; any other claim where interim relief from the court is sought to prevent serious and irreparable injury to one of the Parties or to others. However, the Parties to the Dispute shall make a good faith effort to negotiate and mediate such Dispute, according to the above procedures, while such court action is pending.

15.4 Continuity of Service and Performance. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties will continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article 16 with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute, controversy or claim.

16. Miscellaneous.

16.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements and the Exhibits and Schedules referenced or attached hereto and thereto constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and shall supersede all prior written and oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements and understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
