ARTICLE 2

TRANSITION SERVICES

Section 2.1 Provision of Transition Services.

(a) On the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (the “Purchaser Service Providers”) shall provide or cause a Third Party Service Provider to provide to Sellers and their Subsidiaries each of the transition services and support functions set forth on Schedule A, as reasonably required by Sellers in connection with (i) the liquidation of Sellers under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) the operation of Sellers in bankruptcy prior to liquidation (collectively, the “Purchaser Transition Services”). However, the Purchaser Service Providers will have no obligation to provide to any Receiving Party any type of service described on Schedule B.

 

3


(b) On the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Sellers and their Subsidiaries (the “Seller Service Providers”) shall provide or cause a Third Party Service Provider to provide to Purchaser and its Subsidiaries each of the transition services and support functions set forth on Schedule C (collectively, the “Seller Transition Services”). However, the Seller Service Providers will have no obligation to provide to any Receiving Party any type of service described on Schedule D.

(c) Each Service Provider shall, in rendering Transition Services, use reasonable and ordinary care, skill and diligence (and, to the extent such services had been provided by the Service Provider for its own account or for any of its Subsidiaries before the Closing, in a manner consistent with such historic practice), including with respect to nature, quality and timeliness, and in accordance with any applicable specifications and limitations set forth on Schedule A or Schedule C (the foregoing performance standard, collectively, the “Performance Standard”); provided that with respect to Transition Services that a Service Provider renders for (or obtains from a third party for) its own or its Subsidiaries’ operations, a Service Provider shall not be obligated to render such Transition Service in a manner more favorable to the Recipient than the manner in which such Services are performed or obtained by such Service Provider for its own account. With respect to any Transition Service provided by a Third Party Service Provider, the Service Providers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Third Party Service Provider to provide such Transition Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable service agreement obligating such Third Party Service Provider.

Section 2.2 Modification of Transition Services. A Service Provider may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing Transition Services as long as (i) the Service Provider is making similar changes in performing or receiving similar services for itself or its Subsidiaries, (ii) the Service Provider uses commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Receiving Party reasonable advance written notice and (iii) such changes do not have a materially adverse impact on the nature, quality, availability or timeliness of the applicable Transition Services.

Section 2.3 Compliance with Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Service Providers shall not be responsible for providing any Transition Service, or part thereof, if and to the extent such Transition Service would violate applicable Law; provided that, upon the request and at the expense of the Receiving Party, the Services Providers will use commercially reasonable efforts to modify the applicable Transition Service so that such Transition Service may be provided in compliance with applicable Law. No Service Provider shall have any responsibility or liability for failure to provide any, or part of any, Transition Service unable to be provided as contemplated by this Section 2.3.

Section 2.4 Third Party Consents and Providers.

(a) Following the Effective Date, the Service Providers may be required to obtain third-party consents and approvals to provide certain Transition Services. The Service Providers shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and the Receiving Parties shall cooperate with the Service Providers, to obtain such consents or approvals. The Parties acknowledge and agree that commercially reasonable efforts and cooperation do not include the payment of any consent fees or other fees or expenses to any third party. The Service Providers shall not be responsible for providing any Transition Service, or part thereof, which is

 

4


provided or supported by the products or services of a Third Party Service Provider as of the Effective Date, if and to the extent the provision of such Transition Service requires third-party consent or approval that has not been obtained. No Service Provider shall have any responsibility or liability for failure to provide any, or part of any, Transition Service unable to be provided pursuant to this Section 2.4. Prior to the time that such consents and approvals are obtained by the Service Providers, the Service Providers and the Receiving Parties shall cooperate to develop and implement reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide the benefits of the subject Transition Services (or portion thereof) to the Receiving Parties.

(b) Certain Transition Services are currently provided and will continue to be provided by Third Party Service Providers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Service Provider may also subcontract with an Unaffiliated Third Party to directly or indirectly provide or support any other Transition Services to the Receiving Parties; provided, that each Service Provider shall be responsible for (i) the costs and expenses of any Third Party Service Provider it appoints, unless otherwise provided on Schedule A or Schedule C, as applicable, and (ii) the performance of its Third Party Service Providers hereunder (including for the failure to provide Transition Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable service agreement obligating such Third Party Service Provider), and no such delegation shall relieve the Service Provider so delegating the performance of Transition Services of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement.

Section 2.5 Requests for Additional Services.

(a) Except for services of the type listed on Schedule B, prior to the later of (i) 210 days after the Effective Date and (ii) March 31, 2010, Sellers may request in writing that additional services be provided and Schedule A be amended to reference such additional services. The Purchaser Service Providers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or cause to be provided the requested services but only if such requested services are reasonably required by Sellers (x) to wind down and liquidate under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or (y) to operate in bankruptcy during liquidation (the “Additional Purchaser Services”). No Purchaser Service Provider shall be obligated to provide any such Additional Purchaser Services unless and until the Parties agree in writing as to the price, specifications and other terms and conditions under which the Purchaser Service Providers shall provide (or cause to be provided) such Additional Purchaser Services; provided that the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and expeditiously with respect to entry into such amendment to Schedule A; provided further that the price for such Additional Purchaser Services shall be based on a price per FTE (full-time equivalent) of $198,000 per annum. Upon such agreement of the Parties, such Additional Purchaser Services shall be deemed to be Transition Services under this Agreement.

(b) Except for services of the type listed on Schedule D, prior to the later of (i) 210 days after the Effective Date and (ii) March 31, 2010, Purchaser may request in writing that additional services be provided and Schedule C be amended to reference such additional services. The Seller Service Providers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or cause

 

5


to be provided the requested services if such requested services were provided by or on behalf of any Seller Service Provider with respect to the business, assets and liabilities acquired by Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement as of immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Additional Seller Services”). No Seller Service Provider shall be obligated to perform or cause to be performed any such Additional Seller Services unless and until the Parties agree in writing as to the price, specifications and other terms and conditions under which the Seller Service Providers shall provide (or cause to be provided) such Additional Seller Services; provided that the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and expeditiously with respect to entry into such amendment to Schedule C; provided further that Purchaser acknowledges (x) that Sellers will have few (if any) employees and limited ability to provide or make available additional services and (y) Sellers shall have no obligation to continue such negotiations if Sellers determine in good faith that Sellers reasonably cannot provide or make available a requested service. Upon such agreement of the Parties, such Additional Seller Services shall be deemed to be Transition Services under this Agreement.

(c) At any time after the Effective Date and before the Termination Date, Sellers or Purchaser may request that Schedule A or Schedule C be amended to reference additional or modified specifications. Upon such request the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the adoption of such additional or modified specifications and any corresponding pricing modifications that may be necessary or appropriate. No Service Providers shall be obligated to perform or cause to be performed any Transition Services in accordance with such specifications unless and until mutually agreed by the Parties.

Section 2.6 Modifications and Shutdowns. If a Service Provider determines that it is necessary or appropriate to temporarily suspend a Transition Service due to scheduled or emergency repairs, maintenance and/or modification, the Service Provider shall give the Receiving Party reasonable prior notice of such shutdown (including information regarding the nature of the shutdown and the projected length of such shutdown), unless it is not practical to give such prior notice because the shut down is due to an emergency. Sellers are hereby notified that the Purchaser Service Providers currently intend to shut down operations for several weeks, twice annually during the periods (i) around the end of December and the beginning of January and (ii) in the month of July (the “Regular Shut Down Periods”), which may result in substantially diminished availability of Transition Services during such periods. With the goal of minimizing the impact on the Receiving Parties of suspended and reduced Transition Services during the Regular Shut Down Periods, Parties shall cooperate to plan the delivery of Transition Services around such periods. Purchaser shall provide Sellers reasonable prior written notice of any change in the Regular Shut Down Periods. In addition, the Service Providers may use the same regularly scheduled information technology support and maintenance windows (during which information systems are not fully available) as were used by Sellers prior to the Closing. The Service Providers shall provide the Receiving Parties reasonable prior written notice of any change in such support and maintenance windows.

Section 2.7 Force Majeure; Reduction of Services. Each Service Provider (including with respect to services performed through Third Party Service Providers) shall be excused from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, for any period, and to the extent, that such performance is prevented, in whole or in part, as a result of delays caused by any act of God, public enemy, war

 

6


or threats of same, terrorism or threats of same, epidemic, fire, flood, embargoes, severe weather, civil disturbance, act of government, court order, labor dispute or other cause beyond its reasonable control (a “Force Majeure Event”), and such non-performance shall not be a breach or default hereunder or grounds for termination hereof. Such affected Service Provider shall give written notice to Sellers or Purchaser, as the case may be, of any such Force Majeure Event as soon as reasonably practicable, and the respective Service Providers (including with respect to services performed through Third Party Service Providers) and Receiving Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of any such Force Majeure Event and its consequences on performance hereunder.

Section 2.8 Fees for Transition Services. The fees to be charged for each Transition Service are set forth on Schedule A and Schedule C and the billing, payment and other terms therefor are set forth on Schedule E.

Section 2.9 Disputes. The Parties shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to resolve disputes in good faith as promptly as practicable. If a Party (the “Disputing Party”) in good faith disputes the accuracy or legitimacy of any portion (the “Disputed Amount”) of an invoice or charge, then the Disputing Party may, without being in breach of this Agreement, withhold the Disputed Amount when paying such invoice or charge pending resolution of the dispute and will provide written notice of the amount, nature and supporting detail regarding the Disputed Amount to the other Party or Parties (the “Invoicing Party”). Promptly following receipt of such written notice, the dispute resolution process set forth below in this Section 2.9 shall become applicable and the Parties shall discuss the resolution of such Disputed Amount. If a full resolution of the Disputed Amount has not occurred within 30 days of the initial discussion described in the foregoing sentence, the Parties shall cooperate to promptly submit for resolution such matter (or the portion remaining in dispute) to an arbitrator mutually agreed to by the Parties (the “Neutral Arbitrator”). The Parties shall execute, if requested by the Neutral Arbitrator, an engagement letter reasonably satisfactory to the Neutral Arbitrator. The Parties shall direct the Neutral Arbitrator to render a resolution of such disputed matter within 30 days after its engagement (or such other period agreed upon by the Parties). The resolution of the Neutral Arbitrator shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to each of the Parties and shall be final, binding, conclusive and non-appealable for all purposes hereunder. All fees and expenses of the Neutral Arbitrator shall be paid on a 50-50 basis to the Neutral Arbitrator by Sellers on the one hand and Purchaser on the other hand. The Neutral Arbitrator shall determine the amount of the Disputed Amount due to the Invoicing Party, which amount shall not exceed the Disputed Amount or be less than zero. If the Neutral Arbitrator determines that the Invoicing Party was due any portion of the Disputed Amount, then the Neutral Arbitrator shall award to the Invoicing Party (i) the portion of the Disputed Amount determined by the Neutral Arbitrator to be payable to the Invoicing Party and (ii) interest, from the date of the invoice giving rise to the dispute, at the Libor-Plus Rate on the portion of the Disputed Amount to which the Invoicing Party is entitled. Any amount awarded by the Neutral Arbitrator shall be paid by either Purchaser or Sellers, as applicable, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by the other Party or Parties within five Business Days after the date on which the resolution of the Neutral Arbitrator is delivered to the Parties. Each Service Provider will continue performing Transition Services in accordance with this Agreement pending resolution of any dispute hereunder.

Section 2.10 Personnel.

(a) Designation of Personnel. Each Service Provider shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to designate which personnel shall be assigned to perform the Transition Services, and shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to remove and replace any such personnel at any time and/or designate a Third Party Service Provider in accordance with the terms hereof, to perform such Transition Service; provided, Purchaser shall seek, consistent with the requirements of its own business, to afford Sellers (as reasonably necessary or requested for a proper purpose) the benefit of the background, skill, experience, expertise, information and institutional knowledge of the employees of Purchaser who have historically performed the services and support functions underlying the Transition Services.

(b) Financial Responsibility for Personnel. Each Service Provider shall be responsible for the payment of all personnel expenses, including wages, required travel and travel related expenses, of its employees performing the Transition Services.

Section 2.11 Status of Service Providers. In all matters relating to this Agreement, each Service Provider shall be acting as an independent contractor and not as an agent, representative or joint venture partner of the Receiving Party. The Service Providers shall not be liable for any debts, obligations or liabilities of the Receiving Parties.

Section 2.12 Protective Acknowledgements. Each Party acknowledges that the Service Providers are not insurers or guarantors of the Transition Services they provide, are not in the business of providing Transition Services and are providing the Transition Services only as an accommodation to the Receiving Parties. To facilitate their compliance with their financial reporting requirements, the Purchaser Service Providers may decide not to make changes to any or all of their systems during the last calendar quarter of any year and, therefore, unless otherwise set forth in a plan agreed to by all Parties, the Purchaser Service Providers are not obligated to make any such changes during the last calendar quarter of any year.

Section 2.13 Receiving Party Obligations. Each Receiving Party shall fully cooperate with the Service Providers and Third Party Service Providers with respect to the provision of Transition Services. Without limiting the foregoing, as necessary to enable the provision of Transition Services by the Service Providers and the Third Party Service Providers, the Receiving Parties shall: (a) adhere in all material respects to the policies of the Service Providers with respect to the protection of proprietary information and other policies regarding the use of information technology resources, to the extent relevant to the Transition Services provided; (b) provide timely responses to any information requested by the Service Providers or the Third Party Service Providers; and (c) provide access to the facilities and assets of the Receiving Parties as requested by the Service Providers or Third Party Service Providers. The Receiving Parties shall promptly notify Sellers or Purchaser, as the case may be, of any problems or failures with respect to the Transition Services, or any breach or default by any Service Provider or Third Party Service Provider under this Agreement, which notice shall describe the foregoing in reasonable detail, and the Receiving Parties shall cooperate with the Service Providers and the Third Party Service Providers to correct the foregoing. The Service Providers and the Third Party Service Providers shall be entitled to rely on any instructions or other information provided by the Receiving Parties, and the Service Providers shall

 

8


not be in breach of or in default under this Agreement as a result of any such reliance; provided that no such instructions shall expand the obligations of the Service Providers hereunder. The Service Providers shall be excused from their obligation to perform or cause to be performed a Transition Service if and to the extent that (i) such failure to perform or cause to be performed such Transition Service was due to the Receiving Party’s failure to perform its responsibilities under this Section 2.13 and (ii) the Service Providers use commercially reasonable efforts to perform or cause to be performed such Transition Service notwithstanding Receiving Party’s failure, if practicable.

Section 2.14 Transition Service Managers. The Seller Services Manager and the Purchaser Services Manager (each as defined below) shall liaise with each other, and seek to resolve in good faith all issues related to the scope, sufficiency and/or performance of Transition Services and any other issues arising in connection with this Agreement. The Purchaser Services Manager and the Seller Services Manager shall meet periodically (in person or by telephone), as reasonable, for purposes of requesting Transition Services, establishing procedures, reviewing performance and forecasting needs.

(a) Sellers shall appoint an individual, by giving written notice thereof to Purchaser within three (3) business days following the date hereof, to act as its initial services manager (the “Seller Services Manager”), who will be directly responsible for, among other things, coordinating and managing the delivery of the Seller Transition Services. The Seller Services Manager will work with the personnel of Sellers, as well as with any Third Party Service Providers providing Seller Transition Services, to address issues and matters raised by the Purchaser Services Manager relating to this Agreement. Sellers shall promptly notify Purchaser of the appointment of a new Seller Services Manager.

(b) Purchaser shall appoint an individual, by giving written notice thereof to Sellers within three (3) business days following the date hereof, to act as its initial services manager (the “Purchaser Services Manager”), who will be directly responsible for, among other things, coordinating and managing the delivery of the Purchaser Transition Services. The Purchaser Services Manager will work with the personnel of Purchaser, as well as with any Third Party Service Providers providing Purchaser Transition Services, to address issues and matters raised by the Seller Services Manager relating to this Agreement. Purchaser shall promptly notify Sellers of the appointment of a new Purchaser Services Manager.

Furthermore, with respect to Personal Information owned or controlled by the Parties and shared under this Agreement, written notice shall be provided to the Party that owns or controls the data, as soon as reasonably practicable after any Party (other than the Party that owns or controls the data) becomes aware of (i) any breach or potential breach of the applicable Privacy Policies of the Party that owns or controls the data, or (ii) any incident where Personal Information may have been accessed by or disclosed to an unauthorized person. Each Party shall reasonably cooperate in good faith in order to ensure that each Party is able to comply with the provisions of the Sale Order relating to privacy matters, including the recommendations of the Privacy Ombudsman appointed pursuant to Section 332 of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent approved or incorporated by the Court in the Sale Order.

Section 3.3 Survival. The provisions of this Article 3 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement. Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to, and shall cause their Subsidiaries, successors and permitted assigns to use commercially reasonable efforts not to, attempt at any time to access any data, information or system of the other Party or Parties except as required to provide or receive Transition Services, as the case may be.

ARTICLE 4

TERM AND TERMINATION

Section 4.1 Term and Final Termination. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until the date upon which all Transition Services have (i) terminated in accordance with the termination date set forth opposite each Transition Service on Schedule A or Schedule C or (ii) been earlier terminated pursuant to Section 4.2 (the “Termination Date”). The Sellers may, on not less than 90 days’ advance notice to the Purchaser, if reasonably required by Sellers, extend the termination date for any Transition Service (and the Termination Date hereunder shall be so extended) to a date no more than 60 days after applicable termination date set forth on Schedule A.

Section 4.2 Early Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) a Receiving Party may terminate all or any Transition Services on not less than 30 days prior written notice to Sellers or Purchaser, as the case may be, unless another notification period is specified on Schedule A or Schedule C (each such notice a “Termination Notice”), and (ii) the Parties may terminate this Agreement or any Transition Services by mutual agreement at any time. As soon as a Transition Service is terminated, Sellers or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall no longer be obligated to pay any fees for the terminated Transition Services with respect to the period following the effective date of such termination. As soon as reasonably practicable following its receipt of a Termination Notice, Sellers or Purchaser shall provide to the other Party or Parties, a written notice as to whether the

 

10


termination of any of the Transition Services that are the subject of the Termination Notice (x) will require termination or partial termination of any of the other Transition Services and/or (y) will result in any Incremental Exit Costs (together, “Early Termination Consequences”) and a good faith estimate (together with reasonable supporting documentation) of the aggregate amount of any such Incremental Exit Costs. If Sellers or Purchaser delivers notification of an Early Termination Consequence, the Receiving Party may withdraw or modify its Termination Notice within 10 days of such notification. If the Receiving Party does not withdraw or modify such Termination Notice (in writing) within such period, termination of such Transition Services will be final, including with respect to the termination of any other Transition Services identified by the Service Provider as an Early Termination Consequence and Purchaser or Sellers, as the case may be, shall have the obligation to pay the actual amount of any Incremental Exit Costs identified by the other Party or Parties as an Early Termination Consequence, notwithstanding that any such actual amount may be greater or less than the estimated amount, provided that such actual amount does not exceed the good faith estimate of Incremental Exit Costs by more than 10 percent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Receiving Party shall have the right to unilaterally reinstitute any Transition Service if such Transition Service has been terminated.

Section 4.3 Early Termination by Non-Defaulting Party. Purchaser on the one hand or Sellers on the other hand may terminate this Agreement (i) upon 30 days prior written notice to the other Party, if such other Party (the “Defaulting Party”) is in breach of its payment obligations hereunder (it being understood that a Party will not be deemed to be in breach of such obligations with respect to an invoice or charge so long as it is disputing such invoice or charge in good faith in accordance with Section 2.9) or (ii) upon 60 days prior written notice to the Defaulting Party, if the Defaulting Party is in material breach of any of its non-monetary obligations hereunder, and, in the case of either of clause (i) or (ii), the Defaulting Party fails to cure such breach within the applicable notice period specified above. Other than as provided in Section 4.2 and 4.3, this Agreement may not be terminated by either Party under any circumstances.

Section 4.4 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated in its entirety pursuant to Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3, all obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall terminate, except for (i) Articles 3, 5, 6 and 7, the terms and conditions of which shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement and (ii) the obligation of any Party to pay (x) all unpaid amounts in respect of Transition Services provided under this Agreement prior to the date of termination, whether or not invoiced prior to such date, and (y) other costs and expenses expressly required by the terms of this Agreement to be borne by such Party, including Incremental Exit Costs.

If, and to the extent, the Service Provider fails to cure such failure within 30 days of receiving such notice, the Receiving Party shall be entitled to and may seek indemnification pursuant to Section 5.2 and/or specific performance pursuant to Section 5.3.

The access provided pursuant to this Section 7.18 shall be subject to such additional confidentiality provisions as the disclosing Party may reasonably deem necessary.
