(iii) Upon agreement of the Transition Managers in accordance with this Section 2.2.1 and Section 5, the Transition Services Schedule and the Service Fees Schedule shall be amended or updated by the Transition Managers to add any such Additional Services and to reflect the Service Fee applicable to such Additional Services. Any agreed Additional Services so provided by Organon shall constitute Services under this Agreement and be subject in all respects to the provisions of this Agreement as if fully set forth in the Transition Services Schedule as of the date hereof. It is understood that Organon may in its sole and absolute discretion decline to provide any such Additional Service and Merck acknowledges that Organon shall be under no obligation to provide, and may not have the resources, capabilities or capacity to provide, any Additional Service, and may determine not to do so for any reason or no reason; provided that if such Additional Service is required to comply with a request from a Governmental Authority or any Applicable Law, and such Additional Service cannot be performed by Merck itself or cannot be provided by a Third Party, including outside advisors, Organon shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide such Additional Service.

Such Ad Hoc Services shall be provided by Organon upon the mutual agreement of the Parties pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.2.2 and in accordance with Section 5. If Merck desires that Organon provide an Ad Hoc Service hereunder, the Merck Transition Manager shall, no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated commencement date of such Ad Hoc Service, provide a written request thereof to the Organon Transition Manager. For example, if an Ad Hoc Service is being requested to begin on June 1, 2022, then Merck must request such Ad Hoc Service no later than April 2, 2022 (sixty (60) days prior to June 1, 2022). If an Ad Hoc Service is requested that needs to commence within less than sixty (60) days from Merck’s request for such Ad Hoc Service, including to comply with a request from a Governmental Authority or any Applicable Law or for those certain Ad Hoc Services identified for expedited review in the Transition Services Schedule, the Parties will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assess and make final determination pursuant to this Section 2.2.2, in an expedited manner to satisfy the request of the Governmental Authority or to comply with Applicable Law or to support the business need for those certain Ad Hoc Service identified for expedited review in the Transition Services Schedule, on whether such Ad Hoc Service will be provided and the terms and conditions and Service Fee for such Ad Hoc Service to be implemented, notwithstanding the sixty (60) day and thirty (30) day references in Sections 2.2.2(i) and 2.2.2(ii), respectively.

Following receipt by the Merck Transition Manager of the Organon Transition Manager’s response to the request for Ad Hoc Services, the additional terms and conditions, including the applicable commencement date, Service Termination Date, and the Service Fee (which shall be calculated in accordance with the principles set forth on Schedule 2) on which such Ad Hoc Services, if any, shall be provided, shall be as mutually agreed upon in writing by the Transition Managers in accordance with Section 5; provided that if the Transition Managers do not mutually agree upon such additional terms and conditions, such Ad Hoc Services shall not be provided hereunder; provided further that any such agreed Ad Hoc Services shall only be provided by Organon until no later than the applicable Service Termination Date set forth in the Transition Services Schedule as of the Effective Date and if a longer period is requested by Merck, such Ad Hoc Services shall be treated as Additional Services in accordance with Section 2.2.1.

(iii) Upon agreement of the Transition Managers in accordance with this Section 2.2.2 and Section 5, the Transition Services Schedule and the Service Fees Schedule shall be updated to reflect the Service Fee and any additional agreed upon terms and conditions applicable to such Ad Hoc Services. Any agreed Ad Hoc Services so provided by Organon shall constitute Services under this Agreement and be subject in all respects to the provisions of this Agreement as if fully set forth in the Transition Services Schedule as of the date hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, there may be more than one request for the same Ad Hoc Service that is listed in the Transition Services Schedule, and each such request will be managed pursuant to this Section 2.2.2 and the same line item in the Transition Services Schedule.

2.2.3 Change in Scope of Service and Increase in Service Fee.

(i) The Parties agree and acknowledge that Organon may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the applicable Services if Organon is making similar changes in performing similar services for itself, its Affiliates or other Third Parties, if any; provided that if any such changes adversely affect the benefits to Merck of Organon’s provision or quality of such Service in any material respect or increase the Service Fee for such Service, Organon shall provide a written description thereof to Merck and the Transition Managers shall mutually agree (unless such change is required by Applicable Law or a Governmental Authority, in which case such mutual agreement shall not be required) in writing in accordance with Section 5 to amend the Transition Services Schedule and the Service Fees Schedule to reflect such change and any corresponding increase, if applicable, in the applicable Service Fee (which increase in the Service Fee shall be calculated in accordance with the principles set forth on Schedule 2).

(ii) Merck may request changes to the scope of Services being provided by Organon pursuant to the Transition Services Schedule. For example, an increase in the volume of activity related to a specific Service due to an acquisition of a company by Merck, would be a change in the scope of such Service. If Merck desires to request a change in the nature or manner of performing a particular Service or the level at which such Service is to be provided

10

hereunder by Organon, the Merck Transition Manager shall, no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated commencement date of such change in the scope of such Service, provide a written request thereof to the Organon Transition Manager describing such change. For example, if a change in scope of a Service is being requested to begin on June 1, 2022, then Merck must request the change in scope of such Service no later than April 2, 2022 (sixty (60) days prior to June 1, 2022). If a change in scope of a Service is requested that needs to commence within less than sixty (60) days from Merck’s request for such change in scope of a Service, including to comply with a request from a Governmental Authority or any Applicable Law, the Parties will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assess and make final determination pursuant to this Section 2.2.3, in an expedited manner to satisfy the request of the Governmental Authority or to comply with Applicable Law, on whether such change in scope of a Service will be provided and the terms and conditions and revised Service Fee, for any increase in scope, for such Service, notwithstanding the sixty (60) day and thirty (30) day references in Sections 2.2.3(ii) and 2.2.3(iii), respectively.

(iii) Within thirty (30) days following the receipt of such request from the Merck Transition Manager, the Organon Transition Manager shall provide the Merck Transition Manager with a written response to such request setting forth any applicable increase in the Service Fee (which increase in the Service Fee shall be calculated in accordance with the principles set forth on Schedule 2) and an assessment of whether the requested commencement date for such change in scope can be achieved. Following receipt by the Merck Transition Manager of the Organon Transition Manager’s response to the request for a change in the scope of a particular Service, the new terms and conditions, including the commencement date for such change in scope and any applicable increase in the Service Fee (which increase in the Service Fee shall be calculated in accordance with the principles set forth on Schedule 2) on which such Service shall be provided shall be as mutually agreed upon in writing by the Transition Managers in accordance with Section 5; provided that if the Transition Managers do not mutually agree upon such new terms and conditions, the scope of such Service and the Service Fee shall not be amended hereunder.

(iv) Upon agreement of the Transition Managers in accordance with this Section 2.2.3 and Section 5, the Transition Services Schedule and the Service Fees Schedule shall be amended or updated by the Transition Managers to reflect any changes to the scope of any such Services and any increase in the Service Fee applicable to such Services (which increase in the Service Fee shall be calculated in accordance with the principles set forth on Schedule 2). Any reduction to the scope of a Service shall not reduce or otherwise change the applicable Service Fee and the Service Fee in effect prior to any such reduction shall remain in effect through the applicable Service Termination Date (unless otherwise subsequently modified in accordance with this Agreement) and Merck shall continue to be liable for paying the Service Fee related to any such reduced Service until the applicable Service Termination Date (unless otherwise subsequently modified in accordance with this Agreement).

The De Minimis Services, if any, shall constitute Services under this Agreement and

11

shall be subject in all respects to the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the De Minimis Services will not be reflected in the Transition Services Schedule and (ii) the De Minimis Services shall be provided at Organon’s sole cost and expense (i.e. there shall be no Service Fee with respect to any De Minimis Services).

2.3.3 Upon the request of Merck, Organon shall provide any Tangible Information specifically related to the Merck Products or the Merck Business; provided that, to the extent such Tangible Information is not being provided under a Service in the Transition Services Schedule, (i) requests for provision of Tangible Information specifically related to the Merck Products or the Merck Business that is contained within unstructured or structured data in Organon Systems will be managed pursuant to Section 3.2.7 and (ii) requests for provision of Tangible Information specifically related to the Merck Products or the Merck Business that is contained within physical records will be managed pursuant to Section 3.2.9.

12

2.3.4 Any Expenses incurred by Organon pursuant to this Section 2.3 for which Merck is responsible shall be invoiced by Organon to Merck in accordance with Section 3.3. For avoidance of doubt, such Expenses may include the reasonable costs of gathering, redacting where required, copying, transporting and otherwise complying with the request with respect to such Information.

2.3.5 Any requests for Records concerning the Services, or Tangible Information specifically related to the Merck Products or the Merck Business after the Term shall be handled pursuant to, and in accordance with, the applicable provisions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

2.4 Limitation on Service Obligations. Without limiting its obligations pursuant to Section 6.1, Organon shall be entitled to determine the manner in which it performs the Services and Expense Activities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Organon will in no case be obligated to (i) hire any additional employees or increase the scope of responsibilities of its existing employees, (ii) maintain the employment of any specific employee, (iii) purchase, lease or license any additional equipment or software, or (iv) expand its facilities, incur capital expenses or develop new business processes. In addition, Organon shall have no obligation to (i) upgrade, enhance or otherwise modify any computer hardware, software or network environment currently used by Merck or otherwise, or to provide any support or maintenance services for any computer hardware, software or network environment that has been upgraded, enhanced or otherwise modified by or on behalf of Merck, or (ii) provide to Merck any legal or tax advice or any assistance in negotiating any contracts or agreements that Merck will enter into.

2.5 Provision of Services. Merck acknowledges that Organon may be performing or providing services similar to the Services or Expense Activities (and/or services that involve the same resources as those used to provide the Services or Expense Activities) to its internal organizations, Affiliates and Third Parties. Organon reserves the right to modify the Services and Expense Activities to the extent the same changes are made to such similar services that it uses or provides to its internal organizations, Affiliates and Third Parties in the ordinary course of business. In no event shall Organon be required to make any customization to the Services or Expense Activity (or Organon’s Systems or processes) that is unique to Merck. Merck acknowledges that Organon is not in the business of providing services to Third Parties and that Organon is entering into this Agreement only in connection with the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

2.6 Necessary Suspension. Organon will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide the applicable Services and Expense Activities during the applicable periods during the Term. In the event, however, that Organon, in the normal course of the operations in accordance with the historical practice of the past twelve (12) months prior to commencement of a Service or Expense Activity, determines to suspend delivery of a Service or Expense Activity hereunder for purposes of computer system backups, inspections, maintenance, software patches, repair, replacement of equipment parts or structures, security, or other similar activities, Organon shall

13

not be obligated to deliver such Services or Expense Activities during such periods; provided that (i) Organon shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to inform Merck in writing prior to any scheduled interruption; and (ii) Organon will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to limit the disruption of Merck’s business caused by such suspension. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Organon may, from time to time and in its sole discretion, also perform additional information technology upgrades that may result in Service or Expense Activity outages or undertake other activities that may result in Service or Expense Activity outages (in each case, even if not in the normal course of the operations in accordance with the historical practice of the past twelve (12) months prior to commencement of a Service) and Organon may make such upgrades regardless of whether any such upgrade results in such an outage; provided that such information technology upgrades or other activities, as applicable, do not negatively affect Organon’s provision of the Services or Expense Activities in any material respect.

2.7 Subcontractors. Organon may subcontract or otherwise delegate the performance of all or any of its obligations under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any of the Schedules attached hereto) to any of Organon’s Affiliates or any Subcontractor solely to the extent such subcontract or delegation does not conflict with Applicable Law. If, in accordance with the foregoing, Organon exercises its rights or performs its obligations under this Agreement through an Affiliate or Subcontractor, then Organon shall remain solely responsible for the acts, omissions and performance of such Affiliate or Subcontractor as if such acts, omissions and performance had been provided by Organon itself under this Agreement. In addition, in each case where an Organon Affiliate has an obligation pursuant to this Agreement or performs an obligation pursuant to this Agreement: (i) Organon shall cause and compel such Affiliate to perform such obligation and comply with the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) any breach of the terms or conditions of this Agreement by such Affiliate shall be deemed a breach by Organon of such terms or conditions. Merck shall be responsible for any additional costs or expenses arising under this Section 2.7 in connection with the addition or use of any such Subcontractor to perform Services or Expense Activities hereunder or the change of any Subcontractor previously performing Services or Expense Activities hereunder and Organon shall have the right to pass-through such additional fees to Merck (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any applicable Service Fee(s) set forth on the Transition Services Schedule and incorporated in the Service Fees Schedule shall be revised to include such fees, and the amount of any applicable Expenses to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 3.2 shall be adjusted); provided, however, (x) to the extent that a Subcontractor is changed solely due to Organon’s preference (and, for clarity, not due to the previous Subcontractor’s inability to adequately provide a Service or Expense Activity) or (y) a new Subcontractor is utilized by Organon to provide a Service or Expense Activity that was previously provided to Merck using Organon’s internal resources, then, in each case, any additional fees shall not be Expenses for which Merck shall be responsible and Organon shall bear any such additional fees (and, for the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no change in the applicable Service Fee(s) set forth on the Transition Services Schedule).

2.8 Third Party Suppliers.

2.8.1 Third Party Consents.

(i) Organon shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain and maintain for the Term any Third Party Consents that are necessary for Organon’s

14

provision to, and Merck’s receipt of, the Services and Expense Activities, except that Organon shall have no obligation to obtain any Third Party Consents in respect of any Covered Personal Data.

(ii) Merck shall provide Organon with such assistance as Organon may reasonably request to obtain Third Party Consents, including assistance with negotiating the terms of Third Party Consents with Third Party Suppliers.

(iii) Any Expenses imposed by a Third Party for the provision of any Third Party Consent that is required in respect of the Services or Expense Activities shall be borne by Merck and Organon shall have the right to pass-through such additional Expenses to Merck or, if applicable, adjust the applicable Service Fee(s) set forth on the Transition Services Schedule and incorporated in the Service Fees Schedule; provided that Organon shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to seek to minimize the Expenses imposed by a Third Party for the provision of such Third Party Consents that are required in respect of the Services or Expense Activity.

2.8.2 Dependence on Third Parties.

(i) Where a Third Party Consent or Third Party Agreement is required in order for Organon to provide, or procure the provision of, any element of a Service or Expense Activity (a “Dependent Service Element”) but:

(a) such Third Party Consent either:

(1) has not been obtained; or

(2) has expired or been terminated or been revoked by the Third Party Supplier; or

(b) the obtaining of that Third Party Consent requires the payment of an Expense to the relevant Third Party Supplier that:

(1) is not expressly itemized in the Service Fee set forth on the Transition Services Schedule or the Service Fees Schedule; and

(2) Merck does not pay (without limiting Merck’s obligations under Section 2.8.1(iii)); or

(c) such Third Party Agreement either has been terminated or not extended or not renegotiated following expiration on substantially similar terms (including pricing terms and any terms related to performance thereunder),

then Organon shall not be obliged to provide, or procure the provision of, the Dependent Service Element.

15

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the ability of Organon to provide each Service or Expense Activity hereunder shall be subject to the performance of any applicable Third Party Supplier and the terms, conditions and other provisions of any applicable Third Party Agreement. Organon shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to enforce its rights under any applicable Third Party Agreement. Organon shall notify Merck in writing, as soon as reasonably practicable, upon it becoming aware of any threatened or actual failure to obtain revocation, termination or expiry of the relevant Third Party Consent or Third Party Agreement if it will adversely impact the ability of Organon to provide the applicable Service to Merck or Expense Activity. Upon receiving such notification, Merck and Organon shall cooperate in good faith to obtain or renew any such Third Party Consent or Third Party Agreement. Any increased cost associated with such new Third Party Consent or renewal, that is applicable or allocable to a Service or Expense Activity, shall be borne by Merck and Organon shall have the right to pass-through any such increased Expenses to Merck.

(iii) Upon Merck’s request, Organon shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to implement alternative arrangements providing substantially similar services in place of the Dependent Service Element. The cost of putting alternative arrangements in place under this Section 2.8.2(ii) shall be borne by Merck and Organon shall have the right to pass-through such additional Expenses to Merck. The Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to seek to minimize the cost of putting alternative arrangements in place under this Section 2.8.2(ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Organon shall not be required to put alternative arrangements in place under this Section 2.8.2(ii) if Merck itself is able to perform the service or services comprising the Dependent Service Element or if Merck can procure the Dependent Service Element from a Third Party at a reasonable cost.

2.9 Intellectual Property.

2.9.1 Organon Intellectual Property. As between the Parties, Organon (or its Affiliate) shall own all right, title and interest in and to the Organon Intellectual Property (including any and all information contained therein), and Merck is not acquiring any ownership interest in any Organon Intellectual Property (including any and all information contained therein) under this Agreement.

2.9.2 IP Generated from the Provision of Services. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties or as otherwise set forth in any Transaction Document, all discoveries, improvements or inventions by Organon or any of its Affiliates, whether or not patentable, solely relating to a Merck Product and that directly result and arise from Organon’s or its Affiliates’ performance of the Services hereunder (“Merck Improvements”), shall be the sole and exclusive property of Merck and shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of Merck for purposes of this Agreement. Within thirty (30) days of becoming aware of any such Merck Improvement, Organon shall notify Merck, in writing, of the event and, upon Merck’s written request and at Merck’s sole expense, shall reasonably assist Merck in protecting Merck’s proprietary rights to such Merck Improvement. Organon and its Affiliates shall assign, and hereby does assign, its entire right, title and interest in and to the Merck Improvements to Merck.

2.9.3 In-Licensed IP; Third-Party In-Licensed IP. To the extent any software or intellectual property is provided as part of, or used to perform, any Service or Expense Activity and is licensed to Organon or any of its Affiliates by a Third Party (“In-Licensed IP”) pursuant to a contract to which such Third Party and Organon (or its Affiliate) are parties (a “Third

16

Party In-License”), then: (i) to the extent the terms of such Third Party In-License are provided to or communicated to Merck or its Affiliates, Merck shall, and shall ensure its Affiliates, comply with the applicable obligations and other terms and restrictions of such Third Party In-License, (ii) Merck and its Affiliates shall only use the In-Licensed IP to the extent necessary in accordance with this Agreement, and (iii) Organon makes no representations or warranties of any kind with respect to the In-Licensed IP and shall have no liability with respect to such In-Licensed IP other than to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to pass through to Merck and its Affiliates any rights and benefits under the Third Party In-License. Except as otherwise set out in this Agreement, Organon does not (and does not purport to) assign or grant any rights or licenses in the In-Licensed IP to Merck or its Affiliates and any proprietary rights vesting in the same shall continue to be held by the applicable Third Party or its licensors. If Merck or any of its Affiliates materially breaches the terms of a Third Party In-License, then Organon may, upon written notice to Merck and without liability to Organon or any of its Affiliates, suspend or terminate Merck’s or its Affiliates’ access to the applicable In-Licensed IP that is the subject of such Third Party In-License.

2.9.4 Licenses. Each Party shall grant to the other Party such rights and licenses to such intellectual property, documentation and Information as shall be necessary for the other Party to perform its respective obligations and to exercise its respective rights under this Agreement.

2.9.5 IP License Agreements. This Section 2.9 and the terms hereof shall be subject to the terms and conditions of any IP License Agreement and in the event of a conflict between this Section 2.9 and any IP License Agreement, such IP License Agreement shall control.

2.10 Services Recipient. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, (i) only Merck and its Affiliates shall be entitled to have access to the Services and Expense Activities under this Agreement, (ii) Merck shall not, directly or indirectly, resell or permit the use of any of the Services or Expense Activities to or by any other person or entity, and (iii) in no event shall Merck, its Affiliates or their respective employees, third-party technology consultants or other personnel be entitled to modify any Organon System or the Services or Expense Activities.

3. Payment.

3.1 Service Fees. In consideration for the provision of Services specified in the Transition Services Schedule by Organon, Merck will pay the applicable Service Fees to Organon pursuant to Schedule 3 (as amended or modified from time to time, including to add Service Fees for Calendar Months not included in the initial version of Schedule 3, the “Service Fees Schedule”). The Service Fees may be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

3.1.1 Service Fees for Certain Quality-Related Services. For certain product quality-related Services that could have a duration of up to five (5) years, and are indicated as such in the Transition Services Schedule, the related Service Fees indicated in the Transition Services Schedule will be adjusted as follows beginning January 1, 2024.

17

| • |  | For Calendar Year 2024, the monthly Service Fee, effective starting January 1, 2024, will be reduced twenty-five percent (25%) from the monthly Service Fee in effect for December 2023.

| • |  | For Calendar Year 2025, the monthly Service Fee, effective starting January 1, 2025, will be reduced by thirty-three percent (33%) from the monthly Service Fee in effect for December 2024.

| • |  | For the first half of Calendar Year 2026, the monthly Service Fee, effective starting January 1, 2026, will be reduced by fifty percent (50%) from the monthly Service Fee in effect for December 2025.

If either Party believes that any of the above adjustments results in an aggregate of Service Fees for the total of all such Services pursuant to this Section 3.1.1 that is not representative of the costs associated with the total volume of activity associated with such Services in aggregate for a given Calendar Year, such Party may, prior to November 1st of the preceding Calendar Year, request discussion and review by the Transition Managers to determine if a different adjustment should be applied. Such determination shall be mutually agreed upon in writing by the Transition Managers in accordance with Section 5; provided that if the Transition Managers do not mutually agree, the Service Fees for such Services shall be adjusted in accordance with the adjustments noted in this Section 3.1.1.

3.2 Expenses.

3.2.1 Additional Expenses.

Each such invoice shall set forth a reasonable description of such Expenses and the amount of such Expenses payable for such Calendar Quarter.

3.2.2 Third Party Fees. Merck shall be financially responsible for any Expenses, including filing fees, payable to any Governmental Authority or other Third Parties related to the Merck Products.

If a Third Party contacts Merck regarding return of any Organon Product, Merck shall refer such Third Party to Organon.

(vi) From the Effective Date until the Longstop Date, neither Merck nor Organon shall instruct, recommend or attempt to induce customers who have previously purchased Merck Product to return such Merck Product when that would not otherwise have been the case but for such Party’s instructions, recommendations or inducement, except in the event of recall, as required by Applicable Law.

For any IT project support by Organon that is requested by Merck that is not included in any Service listed in the Transition Services Schedule and not related to a TSA Exit pursuant to Section 3.2.8, if Organon agrees to provide the requested support (which agreement shall not be required in the case of a request for Tangible Information specifically related to the Merck Products or the Merck Business that is contained within unstructured or structured data in Organon Systems) then Organon shall provide an estimate of the Expenses for such support and the scope of work to be completed by Organon and the estimated duration for the completion of the support. If Merck agrees to proceed with such IT project, Organon shall complete the project work and be reimbursed for all related Expenses, calculated in accordance with the principles set forth on Schedule 2. If, at any time, Organon determines that the actual Expenses for any such support provided under this Section 3.2.7 will exceed the estimated Expenses by greater than ten percent (10%), Organon shall inform Merck who may decide for Organon to continue such support or cease such support. If Merck decides to cease such support, Organon shall invoice, and Merck shall pay, for any Expenses incurred prior to the cessation of support and any related non-cancelable Expenses.

3.2.8 Reimbursement of Expenses Related to TSA Exits. For any support by Organon for TSA Exits (which support shall be consistent with the applicable agreed TSA Exit plan (or completed after the Effective Date in preparation for such TSA Exit plan), including an estimate of the Expenses, for such TSA Exit support), Merck shall reimburse Organon for all related Expenses, calculated in accordance with the principles set forth on Schedule 2.

Organon shall be liable for other taxes such as rent, use, and personal property taxes and for taxes on any and all income or revenues received from Merck under this Agreement.

22

3.6.2 Withholding Taxes. In the event any payments made pursuant to this Agreement are or become subject to withholding taxes under the laws or regulations of any jurisdiction, the Party making such payment shall be entitled to deduct and withhold the amount of such taxes for the account of the payee to the extent required by Applicable Laws and such amounts payable to the payee shall be reduced by the amount of taxes deducted and withheld. Any such withholding taxes required under Applicable Laws to be paid or withheld shall be an expense of, and borne solely by, the payee. If the Party making payment pursuant to this Agreement fails to deduct and withhold all or a portion of the amount of tax required by Applicable Law to be deducted and withheld and such Party is required by Applicable Law to pay all or a portion of such tax to a Governmental Authority for the account of the payee, payee shall, upon request from the other Party, immediately pay to the other Party an amount equal to the amount paid to such Governmental Authority for the account of the payee.

To the extent that the Party making a payment is required to deduct and withhold taxes on any payments under this Agreement, the Party making such payment shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Laws and in a timely manner transmit to the payee an official tax certificate or other evidence of such withholding as required by Applicable Law. It is the responsibility of the payee to provide any tax forms to the Party making such payment that may be reasonably necessary in order for such Party not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. The payee shall use reasonable efforts to provide any such tax forms to the Party making the payment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for any payments for which the payee desires that the Party making the payment apply a reduced withholding rate. Each Party shall provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery and reduction, as permitted by Applicable Laws, of withholding taxes, VAT, or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party (or Affiliate thereof) bearing such withholding tax or VAT.

3.7 Other Rights. Payment of an invoice or any other amounts hereunder shall not preclude Merck from exercising its audit rights under the terms of Article 10 of this Agreement, shall not be deemed a release of any potential claims against Organon, and shall not limit Merck from pursuing any other remedy available to Merck under this Agreement or under Applicable Laws.

3.8 Interest. Any payments under this Agreement that are not made on or before the thirty (30) days following the applicable due date shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) two percent (2%) per annum above the Prime Rate, as reported in the print edition of The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, on the date such payment was due or, if unavailable, on the latest date prior to the payment due date on which such rate is available, and (ii) the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law, calculated on a daily basis, based on the actual number of days elapsed from the payment due date to the date of actual payment.

3.9 Submission of Invoices. Organon shall submit all invoices electronically to Merck. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Merck and Organon may mutually agree: (i) to change the vehicle for electronic submission; or (ii) that Organon submit a hard copy of such invoices.

applicable local Interim Services Agreement. Following the Effective Date, local Interim Services Agreements will remain effective only for invoicing such Service Fees or Expenses and any other terms and conditions in this Agreement supersede those in any local Interim Services Agreement.

3.11 No Double Counting. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Merck will not be charged more than once for the same service, activity, function or Expense that is performed or incurred by Organon or its Affiliates or Third Parties pursuant to this Agreement to the extent that Merck or its Affiliates are bearing the charges for such service, activity, function or Expense pursuant to another Transaction Document.

4. Term and Termination.

4.1 Term. This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and end on the earlier of (i) the date on which Organon’s obligation to perform any Services under this Agreement ceases due to their expiration or termination in full in accordance with Section 4.2 or Section 4.3.3 or (ii) the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 4.3.1 or 4.3.2 (the “Term”).

4.2 Duration of Services.

4.2.1 General Duration. Each Service to be provided by Organon under this Agreement shall (i) commence to be provided from and after the Effective Date, unless a different commencement date is specified in the applicable section of the Transition Services Schedule, and (ii) terminate (a) on the end date specified with respect to such Service in the applicable section of the Transition Services Schedule or the end date of any extension of such specified end date agreed to by the Parties in accordance with Section 4.2.2, or (b) on the date such Service is terminated in accordance with Section 4.3.1 or on the date such Service is terminated by the Transition Managers in accordance with Section 4.3.3, (such end date, the “Service Termination Date”).

4.2.2 Extension.

(i) The Service Termination Date specified with respect to a Service or Ad Hoc Service in the applicable section of the Transition Services Schedule can be extended by the mutual written agreement of the Transition Managers in accordance with this Section 4.2.2 (including the markups noted for extended durations in Schedule 2) and Section 5. If Merck desires to request the extension of a Service Termination Date, the Merck Transition Manager shall, no later than ninety (90) days prior to the Service Termination Date (or such greater period as set forth in the applicable Section of the Transition Services Schedule or as necessary to comply with any Applicable Law before implementation of an extension, while providing for the thirty (30) day period for response from Organon subsequent to such a request being made, and time to reach agreement on extending the Service), provide a written request thereof to the Organon Transition Manager setting forth the desired extended Service Termination Date. Notwithstanding the ninety (90) day and thirty (30) day references in Sections 4.2.2(i) and 4.2.2(ii), respectively, if a Service with a Service Termination Date tied to a Marketing Authorization Transfer Date (as defined in the Regulatory Agreement) needs to be extended due to a change in such Marketing

24

Authorization Transfer Date due to an action or inaction by a Governmental Authority, and not as a result of the action or inaction of Merck, the Parties will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assess and make final determination pursuant to this Section 4.2.2 on whether the duration of such Service shall be extended, the new Service Termination Date, and the applicable Service Fee; provided that such new Service Termination Date shall not fall after Organon’s obligation to support transfer of such Transferred Marketing Authorization (as defined in the Regulatory Agreement) ceases in accordance with the Regulatory Agreement.

(ii) Within thirty (30) days following the receipt of such extension request, the Organon Transition Manager shall provide the Merck Transition Manager with a written response to such request setting forth the applicable Service Fee for such extended Services (which Service Fee shall be calculated in accordance with the principles set forth on Schedule 2) and an assessment as to whether the requested Service Termination Date can be achieved. Following receipt by the Merck Transition Manager of the Organon Transition Manager’s response to the extension request, the applicable Service Termination Date and the Service Fee (which shall be calculated in accordance with the principles set forth on Schedule 2) shall be as mutually agreed upon in writing by the Transition Managers in accordance with Section 5. Upon agreement of the Transition Managers in accordance with this Section 4.2.2 and Section 5, the Transition Services Schedule and the Service Fees Schedule shall be amended or updated by the Transition Managers to change the applicable Service Termination Date and to reflect the Service Fee applicable to such extended Services.

4.3 Termination.

4.3.1 Material Breach. If either Party materially breaches this Agreement (or a given Schedule to the extent that the material breach relates solely to such Schedule), the non-breaching Party may give written notice to the other Party, specifying the nature of the material breach and, if such material breach is not remedied within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of such written notice (provided, however, that the cure period shall be suspended during any time that a Party seeks resolution of a dispute as to whether an alleged material breach occurred pursuant to any dispute resolution mechanisms under this Agreement), then the non-breaching Party shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the breaching Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such material breach relates only to a given Service, then the non-breaching Party shall only have the right to terminate the applicable Service to which such material breach relates and this Agreement, and all other Services shall not be affected by such termination.

4.3.2 Bankruptcy. This Agreement may be terminated by written notice given by a Party upon the occurrence of any of the following with respect the other Party: (i) such other Party becomes insolvent, or (ii) voluntary or involuntary proceedings by or against such other Party are instituted in bankruptcy or under any insolvency law, which proceedings, if involuntary, shall not have been dismissed within ninety (90) days after the date of filing, or (iii) a receiver or custodian is appointed for such other Party, or proceedings are instituted by or against such other Party for corporate reorganization or the dissolution of such other Party, which proceedings, if involuntary, shall not have been dismissed within ninety (90) days after the date of filing, or (iv) such other Party makes an assignment of substantially all of its assets for the benefit of its creditors, or substantially all of the assets of such other Party are seized or attached and not released within ninety (90) days thereafter.

25

4.3.3 Early Termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Merck shall be entitled to request the termination of any Service at its convenience, in whole or in part (but only to the extent that such termination in part would not jeopardize the provision of any remaining parts of such Service), at any time (without terminating any other Service) prior to the applicable Service Termination Date, by the Merck Transition Manager giving the Organon Transition Manager ninety (90) days (or such greater period as set forth in the applicable Section of the Transition Services Schedule or as necessary to comply with any Applicable Law, while providing for the thirty (30) day period for response from Organon subsequent to such a request being made, and time to reach agreement on terminating the Service) prior written request (the “Service Termination Notice”), and upon receipt by the Organon Transition Manager of the Service Termination Notice from the Merck Transition Manager, the Organon Transition Manager shall provide a written response to such Service Termination Notice within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof, including any additional Expenses associated with such early termination, and, if the Organon Transition Manager accepts the request for termination set forth therein, the Transition Managers may mutually agree in writing to terminate such Service, including the new Service Termination Date and any additional Expenses to be charged to Merck, in accordance with Section 5; provided that (i) in the event of any such termination of a Service in whole, Merck shall continue to be liable for paying the Service Fee related to any such terminated Service until the end of the applicable Calendar Month in which the newly agreed upon end date of such Service falls (and such Service Fee shall no longer be payable in the subsequent Calendar Month), as well as all other non-cancelable Expenses (including any costs or penalties related to Third Party Agreements, wind-down costs, minimum volume make-up fees and any other costs associated with the Service that Organon cannot eliminate prior to the previously planned Service Termination Date; provided however Organon will not charge Merck for unamortized information technology related costs) incurred by Organon or any of its Affiliates in connection with any early terminated Service, and (ii) in the event of any such termination of a Service in part, Merck shall continue to be liable for paying the entire Service Fee related to such Service, as well as all other Expenses incurred by Organon or any of its Affiliates in connection with such Service, until such Service is fully terminated or expired hereunder.

4.4 Effect of Termination of Services; Survival. In the event of any termination with respect to one or more, but less than all, of the Services, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect with respect to any Services not so terminated and, as applicable, any Expenses payable pursuant to Section 3.2. Upon the termination of any or all of the Services, Organon will cease, or cause its applicable Affiliates or Subcontractors to cease, providing the terminated Services. Upon each such termination, Merck will pay to Organon all Service Fees and Expenses accrued and incurred through the applicable Service Termination Date related to such terminated Service included in the subsequent monthly invoice provided by Organon to Merck with respect to such Service and Expenses in accordance with Section 3.3 and Section 4.3. The terms, provisions, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement that by their sense and context are intended to survive the performance thereof by either Party or both Parties hereunder (including in Articles 1 (to the extent necessary to interpret other surviving provisions of this Agreement), 3 (as related to invoices and payments for Services provided and Expenses incurred prior to the expiration or termination of this Agreement), 7 (for a period of ten (10) years after the

26

expiration or termination of this Agreement), 9, 10 (with respect to audits for Expenses), and 11 and Sections 2.9.1, 2.9.2, 2.9.3, 2.9.5, 4.4 and 8.2), shall so survive the completion of performance, expiration or termination of this Agreement (or a given Service, as applicable). Upon the expiration of the Term or if this Agreement is terminated with respect to all of the Services pursuant to Section 4.3, Organon shall provide Merck a final invoice setting forth any and all accrued and unpaid Service Fees and Expenses related to the Services, including in accordance with Section 4.3, and Merck shall promptly pay such amounts set forth on such invoice.

5. Governance.

5.1 Designation of Transition Managers. Merck and Organon will each assign one person to act as that Party’s Transition Manager for the Services and Expenses. The Transition Managers will (i) represent and act for their respective Party for matters related to the Services and Expenses, and (ii) meet and/or confer on a regular basis (at mutually agreed times and locations) to review the activities under this Agreement (including progress with respect to the TSA Exits) and to discuss the status and progress of such activities. Either party may change its Transition Manager whenever it considers it appropriate and, in any such case, shall advise the other Party of such changes accordingly. In addition to the Transition Managers, each Party shall designate a functional representative for each function that is providing or receiving, as the case may be, a Service hereunder while such applicable Service is being provided and received.

5.2 Responsibilities of Transition Managers. Without limiting the generality of Section 5.1, during the Term, the Transition Managers shall serve as their respective Party’s primary contact for the other Party to manage and coordinate the provision of the Services and Expense Activities and payment of Service Fees and Expenses provided hereunder and the performance of the Parties’ other obligations hereunder, including any associated exchange of Information and transition of responsibilities related to the Services and Expense Activities. The Transition Managers shall be responsible for ensuring that, during the Term, both Parties appropriately prepare for the transition of responsibilities associated with the TSA Exits and that the Parties understand the tasks necessary to accomplish a smooth transition.

5.3 Decisions of Transition Managers. The Transition Managers shall promptly meet to discuss such matters submitted or communicated to them by the executives responsible for the transition management, including the completion of any TSA Exit and any amendment, supplement or modification of or to the Transition Services Schedule or the Service Fees Schedule, and reasonably and in good faith cooperate to reach agreement on mutually acceptable terms. All changes to the Transition Services Schedule or the Service Fees Schedule shall be documented in writing in either a document, amendment or other instrument or in meeting minutes and mutually agreed upon by the Transition Managers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, each Transition Manager can only make decisions and agreements under this Agreement upon approval of, and receipt of the requisite authority to make such decision or enter into such agreement from, such Party’s established processes for such approval or authorization.

5.4 Issues Resolution. The Transition Managers and/or functional representatives will work together to resolve issues or potential disputes relating to this Agreement, with the intent of averting the escalation of such issues or potential disputes. Should escalation be required, the Transition Managers shall meet first with the Transition Management Office (TMO) Leads (as defined in the Separation and Distribution Agreement). If not resolved the TMO Leads will meet with executives from each Party to resolve the escalation issue.

6.3 Mutual Responsibilities. The Parties will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with each other in all matters relating to the provision and receipt of Services and to Expenses. Such cooperation will include (i) Organon designating an Organon Transition Manager for purposes of this Agreement, and Merck designating a Merck Transition Manager for purposes of this Agreement; (ii) exchanging information relevant to the performance of the Services to be provided hereunder and to Expenses; and (iii) good faith efforts to mitigate problems and issues interfering with the performance of the Services and or Expense Activities required hereunder.

In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any Security Regulations, this Agreement will govern.

In addition, each Party shall have the right to deny the personnel of the other Party access to any Systems or physical facilities upon written notice to the other Party in the event that such Party reasonably believes that such personnel have engaged in any of the activities set forth above in this Section 6.5 or otherwise pose a security concern. Each Party will cooperate with the other Party in investigating any apparent unauthorized access to the Systems or facilities of the other Party.

6.6 TSA Exit.

Accordingly, at all times from and after the Effective Date, Merck shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to make or obtain approvals, permits or licenses, implement any necessary systems, hire and train required employees or contractors, put in place agreements with Third Parties, and take, or cause to be taken, any and all other actions necessary or advisable so as to render receipt of the Services from Organon no longer necessary.

(i) is disclosed by a Party (or its Affiliates) to a Governmental Authority in order to maintain or obtain regulatory approval to manufacture and/or market Merck Product, but such disclosure may be only to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain such approvals;

(ii) is disclosed by the receiving Party (or its Affiliates) to agent(s), consultant(s), and/or other Third Parties who are performing obligations of the receiving Party or exercising rights granted to the receiving Party under this Agreement on the condition that such Third Parties agree to be bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations that substantially are no less stringent than those confidentiality and non-use provisions contained in this Agreement;

30

(iii) is deemed necessary by counsel to the receiving Party to be disclosed to such Party’s attorneys, independent accountants or financial advisors for the sole purpose of enabling such attorneys, independent accountants or financial advisors to provide advice to the receiving Party, on the condition that such attorneys, independent accountants and financial advisors agree to be bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations that substantially are no less stringent than those confidentiality and non-use provisions contained in this Agreement; or

Confidential Information that is disclosed by judicial or administrative process or as required by Applicable Law shall remain otherwise subject to the confidentiality and non-use provisions of Section 7.1, and the Party disclosing Confidential Information pursuant to law or court order or as required by Applicable Law shall take all steps reasonably necessary, including obtaining an order of confidentiality, to ensure the continued confidential treatment of such Confidential Information.

Therefore, each Party hereto shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights or remedies that it may have, to obtain specific performance by the other Party of the obligations of this Section 7, to obtain immediate injunctive relief without having to post a bond. Neither Party hereto will urge, as a defense to any proceeding for such specific performance or injunctive relief, that the other Party has an adequate remedy at law.
