Purchase And Sale Of Services

Section 2.01. Purchase and Sale of Services. (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in consideration of the payment of the Service Costs in accordance with Section 3.01, after the Distribution Time each of Xxxxxx Oil and Xxxxxx USA (each in its capacity as a provider of Services, “Provider”) agrees to provide to the other party (in its capacity as a recipient of Services, “Recipient”), or procure the provision to Recipient of, and Recipient

agrees to purchase from Provider, the transition services set forth on Schedule A as Services to be provided by the relevant Provider (the “Services”).

(b) It is understood that (i) the Services to be provided to Recipient under this Agreement shall, at Recipient’s request, be provided to any Person that is a Subsidiary of Recipient (and to the extent Services are so provided, references to “Recipient” (and related references) shall be construed accordingly as the context requires) and (ii) Provider may satisfy its obligation to provide or procure Services hereunder by causing one or more of its Affiliates to provide or procure such Services (and, to the extent Services are so provided, references to “Provider” (and related references) shall be construed accordingly as the context requires), which Affiliates it may change at its discretion from time to time; provided that Provider shall remain responsible for the performance of such Affiliates. With respect to Services provided to, or procured on behalf of, any Subsidiary of Recipient, Recipient agrees to pay on behalf of such Subsidiary, or cause such Subsidiary to pay, all amounts payable by or in respect of such Services pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Except for the Services expressly contemplated to be provided in accordance with this Section 2.01, Provider shall have no obligation under this Agreement to provide any services to the Recipient Group. Provider agrees to consider in good faith any requests by Recipient for the provision of any additional services. Any such additional services that Provider agrees to provide will be on such terms and conditions (including pricing) as the parties shall mutually and reasonably agree.

Section 2.02. Third Party Licenses and Consents. Provider and Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and to keep and maintain in effect, all governmental or third party licenses and consents required for the provision of any Service by Provider in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that if Provider is unable to obtain any such license or consent, Provider shall promptly notify Recipient in writing and shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to implement an appropriate alternative arrangement. The costs relating to obtaining any such licenses or consents shall be borne by Recipient; provided that Provider shall not incur any such costs without the prior written consent of Recipient. If any such license, consent or alternative arrangement is not available despite the commercially reasonable efforts of Provider and its Affiliates or as a result of Recipient failing to consent to the incurrence of costs relating to obtaining any such license or consent, Provider shall not be required to provide the affected Services.

Section 2.03. Third Party Providers. If Provider receives written notice from any third party service provider that such Person intends to terminate a service pursuant to which Provider provides a Service to Recipient, then Provider

shall provide a copy of such written notice to Recipient and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure the continued provision of that service from such third party or an alternative service provider. If Provider is unable to secure the continued provision of that service from such third party or an alternative service provider, Provider shall not be required to provide the affected Service.

Section 2.04. Cooperation. Provider and Recipient agree to cooperate in providing for an orderly transition of Services, including Services terminated pursuant to Section 6.02, to Recipient or a successor service provider designated by Recipient. Such cooperation shall be subject to the provisions hereof relating to the provision of Services including that Recipient shall pay to Provider the Service Costs related thereto.

ARTICLE 3

Service Costs; Other Charges

Section 3.01. Service Costs Generally. Unless the applicable Schedule hereto expressly provides otherwise (in which event the parties agree to the costs set forth therein) or the parties agree in writing to a different arrangement, for each period in which Recipient receives a Service hereunder, Recipient shall pay Provider the Service Costs for the applicable Service. In the case of a termination of any or all Services prior to the End Date (other than (x) a termination under Section 6.02(c) or (y) a termination under Section 6.02(f) arising from Provider suffering an Insolvency Event), (i) Recipient shall continue to be responsible for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs associated with such Services until the End Date, (ii) Provider shall use reasonable efforts to eliminate such costs referenced in clause (i) as soon as possible and (iii) until such costs referenced in clause (i) are eliminated they will be treated as Service Costs relating to Services provided prior to termination and may be invoiced as incurred. Provider may not rely on the prior sentence with respect to the costs for a given contract if the contract was entered into in connection with providing the Services and the term of the contract was more than three months unless Recipient approved Provider entering into such contract.

Section 3.02. Taxes. (a) Recipient shall pay all applicable sales or use taxes incurred with respect to provision of the Services. Such taxes shall be incremental to other payments or charges identified in this Agreement.

(b) All sums payable under this Agreement shall be paid free and clear of all deductions or withholdings unless the deduction or withholding is required by Applicable Law, in which event the amount of the payment due from the party required to make such payment (other than amounts of interest) shall be increased to an amount which after any withholding or deduction leaves an amount equal to

the payment which would have been due if no such deduction or withholding had been required.

Section 3.03. Invoicing and Settlement. (a) Unless any Schedule hereto indicates otherwise or the parties agree in writing to a different arrangement, Provider shall invoice or notify in writing the Recipient on a monthly basis (not later than 30 days after the end of each month) for the charges for Services hereunder for the prior month (the date of delivery of such invoice, the “Invoice Date”).

(b) Recipient agrees to pay on or before the date (each, a “Payment Date”) that is 30 days after the Invoice Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds payable to the order of Provider to such account(s) designated by Provider all amounts invoiced by Provider pursuant to Section 3.03(a), except for any portion of those amounts reasonably disputed in good faith. Payment for amounts reasonably disputed in good faith for any Services may be withheld beyond their due date by Recipient until such dispute is resolved pursuant to Section 4.04, in which event the relevant payment shall include interest at the Interest Rate from the date that is 15 days after the original relevant Payment Date to the actual payment date. In the event of any overpayments by Recipient, Provider agrees to promptly refund any such overpaid amount to Recipient no later than 15 days from the date it is determined that there has been an overpayment.

ARTICLE 4

The Services

Section 4.01. Standards of Service. (a) The level or volume of any specific Service required to be provided to Recipient hereunder shall be at a level or volume consistent in all material respects with the level or volume, as the case may be, of such specific Service as utilized by the Recipient Group during the twelve month period prior to the Distribution Time (the “Baseline Period”). Provider agrees to consider in good faith any requests by Recipient to modify the level or volume of any specific Service. Any modification to which Provider agrees will be on such terms and conditions (including pricing) as the parties shall mutually and reasonably agree.

(b) The manner, nature, quality and standard of care applicable to the delivery by Provider of the Services hereunder shall be substantially the same as that of similar services which Provider provided to the Recipient Group during the Baseline Period.

(c) Provider shall have no obligation to provide any Services hereunder in respect of any business, assets or properties not forming part of the Recipient Group’s business as of the Distribution Time. Provider agrees to consider in good

faith any requests by Recipient for the provision of any additional services that Recipient considers are reasonably necessary to accommodate normal growth in Recipient’s business. Any such additional services to which Provider agrees will be on such terms and conditions (including pricing) as the parties shall mutually and reasonably agree.

Section 4.02. Changes to Services. It is understood and agreed that Provider may from time to time modify or change the manner, nature, quality and/or standard of care of any Service provided to Recipient to the extent Provider is making a similar change in the performance of such services for the Provider and its Affiliates and provided that any such modification, change or enhancement will not reasonably be expected to materially affect such Service. Provider shall furnish to Recipient substantially the same notice (in content and timing), if any, as Provider furnishes to its own organization with respect to such modifications or changes.

Section 4.03. Management of Services By Provider. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this Agreement, the management of and control over the provision of the Services by Provider shall reside solely with Provider and notwithstanding anything to the contrary Provider shall be permitted to choose the personnel, methodology, systems, applications and third party providers it utilizes in the provision of such Services; provided that Provider shall remain responsible for the performance of the Services in accordance with this Agreement. The provision, use of and access to the Services shall be subject to (i) Provider’s business, operational and technical environment, standards, policies and procedures as in effect from time to time, (ii) Applicable Law and (iii) the terms of this Agreement.

Section 4.04. Liaisons. (a) Each party shall designate one representative to act as such party’s primary contact person in connection with the Services (each, a “Liaison”) and each party may also designate a separate liaison for each Service provided hereunder (who shall act as such party’s primary contact person in connection with the applicable Service). The Liaisons will oversee the implementation and ongoing operation of this Agreement and shall attempt in good faith to resolve disputes between the parties. The parties have designated their respective initial Liaisons and provided contact information therefor on Schedule B. The parties shall ensure that their respective Liaisons shall meet in person or telephonically at such times as are reasonably requested by Provider or Recipient to review and discuss the status of, and any issues arising in connection with, the Services or this Agreement. Each party may re-designate its Liaison from time to time; provided that it shall notify the other party in writing of the name and contact information for the newly designated Liaison in accordance with Section 8.05.

(b) If the Liaisons are unable to make a decision, resolve a dispute or agree upon any necessary action, the unresolved matter shall be referred to the

senior legal officer of each of Xxxxxx Oil and Xxxxxx USA notified to the other party for such purpose from time to time, who shall attempt in good faith within a period of 14 days to conclusively resolve any such matter. If such senior legal officers of the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days from the date such dispute was submitted for consideration or such longer period as the parties may agree, either party may pursue its remedies under Section 8.07.

ARTICLE 5

This disclaimer applies without limitation (i) to claims arising from the provision of the Services or any failure or delay in connection therewith, (ii) to claims for lost profits or opportunities, (iii) regardless of the form of action, whether in

contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, and (iv) regardless of whether such damages are foreseeable or whether Provider or Recipient, as applicable, or any of its Affiliates has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

(c) In addition to the foregoing, each party hereto agrees that it shall, in all circumstances, use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate and otherwise minimize its damages and those of its Affiliates, whether direct or indirect, due to, resulting from or arising in connection with any failure by the other party to comply fully with its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 5.03. Indemnification of Provider by Recipient. Recipient agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Provider Indemnified Person from and against any damages, and to reimburse each Provider Indemnified Person for all costs, damages, liabilities and fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, prosecuting or defending any Action) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred in investigating, preparing, pursuing, or defending any claim, action, proceeding, or investigation, whether or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation and whether or not any Provider Indemnified Person is a party (collectively, “Actions”), arising out of or in connection with Services rendered or to be rendered by or on behalf of any Provider Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or any actions or inactions by or on behalf of any Provider Indemnified Person in connection with any such Services or transactions; provided that Recipient shall not be responsible for any Losses of any Provider Indemnified Person to the extent such Losses have resulted from such Provider Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with any of such Services, actions or inactions.

Provider agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Recipient, each of its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, agents, consultants, representatives and/or employees (each, a “Recipient Indemnified Person”) from and against any Losses incurred (including in investigating, preparing, or defending any Action) to the extent such Losses have arisen out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Provider Indemnified Person in connection with the Services rendered or to be rendered pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 5.05. Indemnification as Exclusive Remedy. Without limitation to the termination rights provided under Sections 6.02(b) and 6.02(c) or to the rights under Section 8.08, the indemnification provisions of this Article 5 shall be the exclusive remedy for money damages for breach of this Agreement and any matters relating to this Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided in this Article 6 or Section 8.03, the term of this Agreement with respect to each Service shall commence as of the Distribution Time, and shall cease on the earlier of (i) the date set forth in respect of such Service on the applicable Schedule hereto, (ii) the date that is 18 months after the Distribution Time (the “End Date,” unless extended pursuant to the proviso below) or (iii) such earlier date as determined in accordance with Section 6.02; provided that upon giving prior written notice to Provider at least 30 days prior to the then-applicable End Date, Recipient may extend the End Date until a date that is no more than 24 months after the Distribution Time. This Agreement shall terminate in its entirety upon the expiration of the terms (as determined pursuant to the preceding sentence) of all Services; provided that the provisions of Articles 3, 5, 6 and 8 and Sections 7.01 and 7.02 shall survive any such termination indefinitely.

Section 6.02. Termination. (a) Recipient may from time to time terminate this Agreement with respect to one or more of the Services it receives, in whole or in part, upon giving at least 30 days’ prior notice to Provider.

(b) Provider may terminate any Service or any part thereof it provides at any time if Recipient shall have failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement relating to any such Service, Provider has notified Recipient in writing of such failure and such failure (i) shall have continued uncured for a period of 30 days after receipt by Recipient of written notice of such failure or (ii) is incapable of remedy. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure by Recipient to pay the full amount of any invoiced amount when due shall be considered a breach of Recipient’s material obligations under this Agreement, unless such failure to pay results from a good faith dispute in accordance with and subject to Section 3.03(b).

(c) Recipient may terminate any Service it receives as provided in the applicable Schedule or at any time if Provider shall have failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement relating to any such Service, Recipient has notified Provider in writing of such failure, and such failure (i) shall have continued for a period of 30 days after receipt by Provider of written notice of such failure or (ii) is incapable of remedy.

(d) At any time following announcement of a transaction involving a Change of Control of Recipient, Provider may elect, by delivery of notice in writing to Recipient, to terminate any or all Services hereunder, such termination to take effect on the date or dates specified by Provider in such notice; provided that without the written consent of Recipient, no such termination of Service shall occur prior to the closing of such Change of Control transaction.

(e) Upon completion of the sale or other disposition of any portion of the Recipient Group’s business, assets or properties, Provider’s obligation to provide any Service in respect of the business, assets or properties so disposed shall terminate automatically and without any notice or other action by Provider, and the aggregate level or volume of such Service required to be provided to the Recipient (and, in the case of a Service, if any, for which the cost is not the Service Cost, the service costs payable by Recipient) in respect thereof shall be reduced appropriately; provided that Provider’s obligation hereunder (if any) to provide Services relating to reporting obligations in respect of such disposed business, assets or properties shall, to the extent related to the period prior to such disposition, not so terminate but, except as the parties may otherwise agree, shall continue until the time they would have terminated absent this Section 6.02(e).

(f) Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time with immediate effect upon serving written notice upon the other party if the other party suffers an Insolvency Event.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, any notice of termination under this Section 6.02 shall be delivered in accordance with Section 8.05.

Section 6.03. Effect of Termination. (a) Other than as required by Applicable Law, upon termination of any Service pursuant to Section 6.02, Provider shall have no further obligation to provide the terminated Service and Recipient shall have no obligation to pay any fees relating to such Services; provided that, notwithstanding such termination, (i) Recipient shall remain liable to Provider for Service Costs and other fees owed and payable in respect of Services provided prior to the effective date of the termination and (ii) Recipient shall be responsible for the costs referred to in the second sentence to Section 3.01 to the extent set forth therein.

(b) Termination of this Agreement as provided for herein shall not prejudice or affect any rights or remedies which shall have accrued to either party, a Recipient Indemnified Person or a Provider Indemnified Person in respect of Services provided or to have been provided prior to termination.
