Shared Contracts. The Parties will use their reasonable best efforts (and each Party shall cooperate with the other Party) to separate the Shared Contracts into separate Contracts effective as of the Distribution so that from and after the Distribution, Spinco will have the sole benefit and Liabilities with respect to each Shared Contract to the extent related to the Spinco Business and the Harbor Group will have the sole benefit and Liabilities with respect to each Shared Contract to the extent not related to the Spinco Business.

The obligations to separate any Shared Contracts set forth in this Section 2.5 will terminate on the date that is twenty-four (24) months following the Distribution Date. If any Shared Contract is not separated prior to the Distribution Date, then such Shared Contract shall be governed under Section 2.2, including the Parties agreeing to use reasonable best efforts (and each Party agreeing to cooperate with the other Party) to establish arrangements at no charge to Spinco under which the party which is a party to such Shared Contract will use reasonable best efforts to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder to enable each Group to continue to receive the benefits and assume the obligations, in each case, that it received or assumed prior to the Distribution Date, until such Shared Contract expires in accordance with its terms. Harbor and Spinco shall share equally any and all third party fees and out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ and other third party fees) that may be reasonably required in connection with obtaining, whether before or after the Distribution, any such separation of a Shared Contract. Harbor will use its reasonable best efforts to deliver a list of the Shared Contracts to Voyager as soon as practicable after the date hereof and in any event within thirty (30) days after the date hereof. No member of either Group will amend, renew, extend or otherwise modify any Shared Contract without the consent of the applicable member of the other Group to the extent such amendment, renewal, extension or modification would adversely affect or impose any material obligations on any member of such other Group.

Any New SpinCo Contracts that relate to the SpinCo Business (the “SpinCo Business Contracts”) shall be entered into by one or more members of the SpinCo Group effective as of the Effective Time and shall allocate to SpinCo or other member of the SpinCo Group all rights and obligations of DevCo and its Subsidiaries (other than members of the SpinCo Group) under the applicable Shared Contract being replaced to the extent such rights and obligations relate to the SpinCo Business and arise after the Effective Time. All purchase commitments under the Shared Contracts shall be allocated under the SpinCo Business Contracts or the Partial Assignments and Releases as between the DevCo Business, on the one hand, and the SpinCo Business, on the other hand, in an equitable manner that is mutually and reasonably agreed to by the DevCo Group and the SpinCo Group.
