As of the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as well as applicable mandatory law, Service Provider shall, or shall cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to, provide the TSA Services in accordance with the specifications set out in the respective Term Sheet, it being agreed that the TSA Services set forth in the Term Sheets shall, unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, comprise (in all material respects) the same scope, quality, service levels and functionality of services that were provided by Service Provider or its Subsidiaries to Recipient or its Subsidiaries in the

9

      Johann | Transitional Services Agreement Exhibit 17.4.1 to SPA

twelve months prior to the signing of the SPA ("Reference Period"). Each Party acknowledges and agrees that it has considered and will continue to consider in good faith any requests made by the other Party to include in any Term Sheet a scope, quality, service levels or functionality of service that differs from that provided during the Reference Period (including to take into account the fact that Service Provider will be providing the respective TSA Services to a non-affiliated party).

2.2 Additional Services

After the Closing, if Recipient reasonably requests additional transition services ("Additional Services") from Service Provider, Service Provider shall consider consenting to the request in good faith. Following such consent, the Parties shall work in good faith to add the Additional Services by entering into a new Term Sheet or other agreement with respect thereto, in each case on terms and conditions mutually agreeable to the Parties, including with respect to scope, duration and fees.

2.3 Service Standard

2.3.1 Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Recipient and Service Provider acknowledge and agree that Service Provider shall provide TSA Services to support Recipient during the term set out in the respective Term Sheet.

2.3.2 Unless specifically set forth otherwise herein, Service Provider shall, and in case any TSA Services through an Affiliated Company or Subcontractor in accordance with Section 2.7 Service Provider shall cause any such Affiliated Company or Subcontractor to, carry out the TSA Services with at least such degree of care (in all material respects) as was provided by Service Provider or its Subsidiaries consistent with its past practice in the Reference Period.

2.3.3 If there is any restriction on Service Provider by an existing contract with a third party or by applicable law that would restrict the nature, quality or standard of care applicable to delivery of certain TSA Services to be provided by Service Provider to Recipient (including due to the fact that Service Provider will be providing the respective TSA Services to a non-affiliated party), Service Provider shall use its Reasonable Efforts to provide such TSA Services in a manner as closely as possible to the standard described in this Section 2.3, which shall include taking reasonable steps to avoid or mitigate such restriction, to the extent practicable.

2.3.4 If Service Provider is unable to provide or procure a TSA Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any Term Sheet due to a capacity shortage

10

      Johann | Transitional Services Agreement Exhibit 17.4.1 to SPA

(which the Service Provider agrees to use Reasonable Efforts to avoid or mitigate, to the extent practicable), Service Provider shall provide the affected TSA Service to Recipient on a pro-rata non-discriminatory basis as compared to operations, businesses or divisions of Service Provider and any person affiliated with Service Provider receiving similar services, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing.

2.3.5 Service Provider shall keep employed sufficient, qualified personnel to be in a position to honour its obligations under this Agreement.

If such consent cannot be obtained, Service Provider shall use Reasonable Efforts to provide a mutually acceptable arrangement in order to enable Service Provider to provide such TSA Services, including to use Reasonable Efforts to have such third party enter into an agreement directly with Recipient; provided, however, that only if such Reasonable Efforts do not result in a mutually acceptable arrangement, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith an acceptable substitute TSA Service to be provided by Service Provider, that shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; in all other cases the TSA Services shall be provided by Service Provider as agreed hereunder. Any reasonable fees or other out-of-pocket costs to obtain any third party consents shall be borne by Recipient in addition to the Service Fees.

2.5 Service Suspensions

In case of any operationally required material interruptions or suspensions of any TSA Service the TSA Services ("Service Suspensions"), (i) Service Provider shall (or cause its Subsidiary to) provide to Recipient (x) advance notice of any planned Service Suspension, and (y) in the event of any unplanned Service Suspension for which advance notice is not practicable, prompt notice thereof, provided that in each case Recipient shall be notified no later than such time as Service Provider or its Subsidiaries notify any person affiliated with them, respectively, of the same Service Suspensions, (ii) Service Provider shall provide each of the TSA Services to Recipient on a non-discriminatory basis as compared to operations, businesses or divisions of Service Provider and its Affiliates receiving similar services (iii) Service Provider shall restore provision of TSA Services as quickly as reasonably practicable, and (iv) Service Provider shall keep (or

The Parties acknowledge and agree that, should services under a Term Sheet hereto be performed by a subject matter expert ("SME"), as specified in the applicable Term Sheet, Service Provider shall use its Reasonable Efforts to replace such SME with another employee of Service Provider or one of its Affiliated Companies in case that the respective SME ceases employment with Service Provider and any of its Affiliated Companies.

directions of Recipient and shall have the exclusive right to select, direct and discharge any of the employees, agents or Subcontractors of Service Provider who will perform the TSA Services ("Service Personnel") and Recipient shall have no right of, and will not exercise any, direction, control, and supervision over and not issue any instructions to any Service Personnel while the same is performing the TSA Services.

other incremental tax burden on any Party or any of their respective Affiliated Companies as a result of the provision of services or supplies under this Agreement.

4. Exchange of Information / Cooperation

To the extent Recipient requires certain Developed IP (including customizations of software or systems) for the continuation of its business after the expiration and/or termination of this Agreement or a specific TSA Service, Service Provider hereby grants the Recipient a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferrable, royalty-free, sublicensable

Service Provider and Recipient shall each appoint one individual who shall coordinate all activities related to a respective TSA Service under a Term Sheet and be the primary contact for the other Party for any issues arising with respect to such TSA Service ("Service Manager").

Any dispute that has not been resolved by the Service Managers to the mutual satisfaction of both Parties within five (5) Business Days (or such longer period as the parties may agree) may be referred by either Party to the JSC and the members of the JSC shall in good faith seek to find an agreement on the dispute referred to them, in accordance with Section 5.5 below.

5.2 Joint Steering Committee

The Parties shall establish a joint steering committee ("JSC"), which shall have an equal number of members from each Party. Each of Service Provider and Recipient will appoint two (2) representatives to the JSC.

5.3 Replacement

Either Party may change any of its Service Managers or representatives on the JSC from time to time, upon ten (10) days' written notice to the other Party. In case a Service Manager or representative on the JSC of either Party becomes permanently unavailable, the relevant Party shall nominate a replacement and inform the other Party of the replacement without undue delay.

5.4 Responsibility of the JSC

The JSC shall have the responsibility to

5.4.1 endeavour to resolve any issues that could not be resolved between the Service Managers;

5.4.2 serve as a forum for the Parties to exchange and discuss information and proposals regarding important issues under this Agreement; and

5.4.3 take such other actions as are set forth in this Agreement as the responsibility of the JSC or as the Parties may agree in writing are the responsibility of the JSC.

5.5 Decisions by the JSC

5.5.1 Unless otherwise agreed by the members of the JSC, the JSC will meet at least on a bi-weekly basis for the first six (6) months after the Closing and at least once every month thereafter. Meetings may be held in person or by means of

21

      Johann | Transitional Services Agreement Exhibit 17.4.1 to SPA

telecommunication (telephone, video, or web conferences). The first meeting of the JSC will take place within two (2) weeks of the Closing. The JSC decides by unanimous consent of its members.

5.5.2 If the JSC is unable to reach such consent on a particular matter in a formal vote called by one of its members, the JSC will reconvene within one (1) week after such vote to attempt to resolve the matter. Any matter upon which the JSC is unable to reach unanimous consent shall be treated as a Dispute.

5.5.3 Except as explicitly set forth in this Section 5.5, the JSC will establish its own procedural rules for its operation. Each Party will bear its expenses incurred in connection with such Party's participation on the JSC.

22

      Johann | Transitional Services Agreement Exhibit 17.4.1 to SPA

6.3 Termination for Breach

If either Party fails to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement (including under any Term Sheet) and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice to such Party with all relevant details of the breach, the other Party may request a convening of the JSC to take place within one (1) week after such request in order to agree on a remedy to cure the breach within three (3) weeks after the convening of the JSC. If four (4) weeks after the request for convening the JSC, the breach is still not cured and the JSC has not reached an agreement on a remedy to cure the breach, the other Party may terminate the relevant TSA Service(s) and any interdependent TSA Services, immediately by notice to the defaulting Party without any further notice period. Such termination right applies irrespective of any right of any Party to refer the Dispute to a DSC pursuant to Section 15.2.

6.4 Termination for Cause

Each Party will bear its own costs for such transition, provided that all reasonable external costs (e.g., for third party service providers) required for the transition and requested by Recipient shall be borne by Recipient except in case of a termination pursuant to Section 6.3, in which case the Party in breach shall bear such costs.

6.5.2 The relevant Term Sheet will specify the requirements (if any) of Service Provider for the transition of TSA Services and the transfer of know-how to Recipient in order to facilitate the migration of services to Recipient and to ensure full service functionality prior to the expiration of the term of the Term Sheet as well as the consideration owed therefore.

23

      Johann | Transitional Services Agreement Exhibit 17.4.1 to SPA

6.6 Surviving Provisions

A termination of this Agreement for whatever reason shall be without prejudice to the rights and obligations of either Party accruing up to the date of termination, and Section 4.4.5 (Developed IP), Section 0 (Limitations of Liability) and Sections 11 (Parent Undertaking) and 12 through 16 (Confidentiality, Notices, Set-Off, Interest, Applicable Law and Arbitration, Miscellaneous) shall survive any such termination.

7. IT Services

7.1 Applicability of Terms to IT Services

The terms of this Agreement shall be fully applicable to TSA Services which consist in IT services or which include substantial IT components and which are therefore marked "IT" or "IT Service" in the respective Term Sheet ("IT Services").

7.2 Additional Terms for IT Services, Changes

7.2.1 Unless specifically set forth otherwise herein or in the respective Term Sheet and except as legally required because Service Provider will be providing the respective IT Services to a non-affiliated party, Service Provider shall carry out the IT Services in substantially the same manner as in the Reference Period. In particular, Service Provider shall keep to the same lead times and shall provide any data in the same form as used during the Reference Period.

7.2.2 Each Party may request modifications to any aspect of an IT Service ("Change") by written notice to the relevant Service Manager of the other Party (each such request a "Change Request"). The Service Managers will discuss the Change Request in good faith and prepare all information required for discussion of the Change Request in the JSC as soon as reasonably practicable. The Parties shall decide jointly on approval or rejection of the Change Request as well as, in case of approval, on all relevant details of its implementation (including any changes in Service Fees or other related costs). If the service volumes of the IT Services are changed, the prices from the Service Catalogue set forth in Exhibit 7.2.2 will apply.

7.2.3 The Term Sheets for IT Services shall set out certain basic migration obligations of the Parties, to ensure the establishment of the Recipient's own IT infrastructure during the transitional period. Further migration obligations of the Parties shall be specified in the migration plan annexed as Exhibit 7.2.3 to facilitate the migration

24

      Johann | Transitional Services Agreement Exhibit 17.4.1 to SPA

of such services to the relevant recipient and to ensure full service functionality at the expiration of the term of the respective Term Sheet. Both Parties shall amend and further develop the migration plan during the Term in order to achieve such goal. Each Party shall bear its respective costs of the migration obligations. Any licenses that are provided to the Service Recipient as part of the Service Provider's migration obligations shall be paid by the Recipient.

7.3 Omitted IT Services

7.3.1 If there are IT services that were provided by Service Provider and its Affiliated Companies to Recipient and its Affiliated Companies during the Reference Period that are reasonably required in order for the Recipient and its Affiliated Companies to operate in substantially the same manner in which they operated during the Reference Period, and are not listed as excluded services and have been accidentally omitted in the agreed IT Services ("Omitted IT Services"), Recipient may notify Service Provider of such Omitted IT Services within a period of one (1) year after the Closing and request such Omitted IT Services from Service Provider. Any such notification shall take place without undue delay after the omission becomes apparent to any of Recipient's Service Managers involved with the respective Omitted IT Service.

7.3.2 Following such request, Service Provider shall consider consenting to the request in good faith, with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Following such consent, the Parties shall work in good faith to add the Omitted IT Services without undue delay to the IT Services by agreeing on a Term Sheet. In doing so, the Parties shall add terms and conditions for the Omitted IT Services (including on Service Fees and reimbursements) that are consistent with the terms and conditions for both (i) the Omitted IT Services as they have been provided during the Reference Period and (ii) the other IT Services.

7.4 Penalties

If certain service levels are specified in the respective Term Sheet for IT Services ("IT Service Levels"), such IT Service Levels may set forth penalties in the form of Service Fee reductions in case Service Provider fails to perform an IT Service in accordance with the applicable IT Service Level. Service Provider shall issue a credit (Gutschrift) to Recipient for any such penalty incurred at the same time as the next invoice for the affected Service. In case no further invoices for the affected IT Service are issued, the penalty amount shall be due and payable by Service Provider to Recipient within 14

25

      Johann | Transitional Services Agreement Exhibit 17.4.1 to SPA

calendar days after Service Provider receives a corresponding invoice by Recipient. The penalties under this clause shall be limited as specified in the respective Term Sheet.

7.5 Escalation Process for IT Services

Any non-compliance with IT Service Levels and/or migration obligations by Service Provider shall be immediately addressed to an IT Steering Committee, which shall resolve the issue within two weeks and immediately establish all mitigation measures possible. The IT Steering Committee shall consist of the Service Managers and the SME of the respective IT Service. If the IT Steering Committee fails to resolve the issue within two weeks, the issue shall be escalated to the JSC that will convene immediately. If the JSC cannot reach a solution within two weeks after the escalation of the issue, each Party may initiate arbitration proceedings pursuant to Section 15.3 and, in addition, Recipient may terminate the relevant TSA Service and any interdependent TSA Services immediately by notice to the defaulting Party without any further notice period. In any event, the Parties shall use Reasonable Efforts to establish an adequate substitution for the respective IT Services.

8. Limitation of Liability

8.1 Fault

Neither Service Provider, its Affiliated Companies or Subcontractors nor any agent of them shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement, other than for negligent or willful misconduct.

8.2 Amount

Subject to Section 8.3 below, the aggregate amount of all claims of Recipient and its Affiliated Companies against Service Provider, its Affiliated Companies and, if applicable, Subcontractors and any of their agents shall be limited to the amount equal to the sum of the Service Fees payable for the TSA Services affected by the breach for a twelve (12) months period.

9.2 Cooperation

The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith to remedy any event of Force Majeure and/or to limit its impacts.

10. Data Protection

All annexes to this Agreement shall constitute an integral part of this Agreement.

16.2 Amendments

Any provisions of this Agreement and its annexes as well as Term Sheets (including amendments to this Section 16.2) may be amended or waived only if such amendment or waiver is (i) by written instrument executed by all Parties and explicitly referring to this Agreement, (ii) by DocuSign, or (iii) by notarized deed, if required by law.

16.3 No Third Party Rights and Procurement Obligations

16.3.1 This Agreement shall not grant any rights to, and is not intended to operate for the benefit of, third parties unless otherwise explicitly provided for herein.

33

      Johann | Transitional Services Agreement Exhibit 17.4.1 to SPA

16.3.2 To the extent that this Agreement implies to impose any obligations on a person which is not a Party to this Agreement, such clause shall be interpreted as an obligation of the Parties to cause such person to act as contemplated under this Agreement, provided, however, that, should the person concerned be an Affiliated Company of a Party, such Party shall procure (steht dafür ein) that the person concerned acts as contemplated under this Agreement.

16.4 No Assignment

Subject to Exhibit 16.4, Recipient shall not, in whole or in part, dispose of any claims (including future or contingent claims) arising from or in connection with this Agreement by way of assignment, encumbrance or otherwise without the prior written consent of Service Provider consenting to such disposal. This shall also apply to any disposal by way of a universal succession.

16.5 Severability

Should any provision of this Agreement, or any provision incorporated into this Agreement in the future, be or become invalid or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed to be substituted by a suitable and equitable provision which, to the extent legally permissible, comes as close as possible to the intent and purpose of the invalid or unenforceable provision. The same shall apply if this Agreement turns out to be incomplete (gap - Regelungslücke); in this case, in order to fill the gap, a suitable and equitable provision shall be deemed to have been agreed upon which comes as close as possible to what the Parties, in the light of the intent and purpose of this Agreement, would have agreed upon if they had considered the matter.
