similar proprietary information and restrict its use to implementation of
the Corporation's systems. The Corporations acknowledge that unauthorized
disclosure of Proprietary Information may cause substantial economic loss
to Unisys or its licensors. All materials containing Proprietary
Information will be marked with "Proprietary", "Confidential", or when
noted as such to Customer prior to its disclosure. Proprietary information
will not be copied, in whole or in part, except for the use of persons
authorized under this Paragraph for the uses stated herein for Customer's
authorized use. Each copy, including its storage media, will be marked by
Customer with all notices which appear on the copied portion of the

demanded by a court, revealed to a government agency with regulatory
jurisdiction over one or more of the Corporations, or in its regulatory
responsibilities over its members and associated persons under the Exchange
Act of 1934. The obligation of non-disclosure shall not extend to: (1)
information that is already in the possession of the other party (including
the Corporations) and not under a duty of non-disclosure; (2) information
that is generally known or revealed to the public; (3) information that is
revealed to either party (including the Corporations) by a third
party--unless the receiving party knows that the third party is under a
duty of non-disclosure; or (4) information that a party (including the
Corporations) develops independently of the disclosure. The obligation of
non-disclosure shall survive for a period of three years from the date of
disclosure to a party (including the Corporations).

Agreement, Customer will destroy (and, upon Notice by Unisys, in writing,
certify destruction) or return to Unisys all copies of the Software the
license for which has been so terminated or canceled (except archival

purposes that are a general back-up of the SPU, which shall be treated as
Proprietary Information and will not be used to operate the Nasdaq market
system).
9.3. Any ideas, concepts, know-how, data-processing techniques, Software,
documentation, diagrams, schematics, blueprints, or any other deliverable
developed by Unisys personnel (alone or jointly with Customer) in

time. This provision applies even though such materials may be listed in
the Unisys price lists, catalogs, invoices or contracts.

under this Section.
9.6. The obligations of this Section survive any rescission, termination,

10. License
---------
* ***** Confidential Treatment has been requested for the redacted
portions. The confidential redacted portions have been filed separately
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
10.1. Unisys grants to Customer a non-exclusive and nontransferable (except
to one or more of the Corporations) license to use Software (including
related documentation) on the Unisys SPU for which it was originally
licensed, according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in
conjunction with the business of the Corporations which includes but is not
limited to, the input from, processing at the request of, and dissemination
to, third parties of data related to entities, issuers, issues, markets,
financial instruments, qualification and other testing, insurance, and news
referring or related to the above, including that from markets operated and
entities regulated by the Corporations. Full use and access to the Software
and documentation can be granted to employees, independent contractors, and
other agents of the Corporations in conjunction with the above business of
the Corporations, provided, that Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold
Unisys harmless against any breaches of this Agreement by the Corporations,
their directors, independent contractors and other agents.
10.2. Customer agrees that Unisys may from time-to-time, at mutually agreed
upon times, upon reasonable advanced Notice, not during hours that the
Corporation's market systems are operational, and in such a manner so as
not to disrupt the business of the Corporations, inspect the computer site
in order to audit the Unisys software installed at Customer's site.
10.3. Customer may develop application programs, may modify any Unisys
Software, and may combine such with other programs or materials to form an
updated work, provided that upon discontinuance or termination of the
license, the Unisys application Software will be removed from the updated
work and returned to Unisys. Unisys must be notified of any alteration of
the operating system software. Unisys makes no representation regarding
compatibility of future software releases, nor assumes any corrective
obligation, with respect to Customer's alteration of the operating system
software.
10.4. Except to the extent permitted by law, Customer will not decompile or
disassemble any Software provided under this Agreement or modify Software
which bears a copyright notice of any third party. Customer may make and
maintain archival copies (reasonably made for backup/historical, security,
or regulatory purposes) of each item of Software, and each copy will
contain all legends and notices and will be subject to the same conditions
and restrictions as the original.
10.5. If the SPU on which any item of Software is licensed becomes
temporarily unavailable, use of such Software may be temporarily
transferred to an alternative SPU.
10.6. Except for the purposes stated in this agreement, no license is
granted to Customer to use any Unisys proprietary operating system Software
to (a) assess, test or develop any hardware products either for others or
where they are to be marketed by Customer for compensation, or (b) develop
any software program other than an application program. This license
restriction does not apply to MS/DOS, UNIX, and CTOS/BTOS operating
systems. Application programs mean programs for performing specific
automatic data processing tasks such as payroll, inventory control,
information retrieval or repetitive arithmetic operations, but excludes
programs such as environmental programs, handlers, operating systems, and
data base management programs, unless such programs are used for interface
and interoperability purposes between Unisys and other systems.
10.7. If Customer desires to use Software in a service bureau mode except
as described in this Agreement, at a location other than Customer's
computer centers, or as described in Section 0, Customer shall request
prior permission in writing from Unisys. Unisys will then advise Customer
whether, and under what terms and conditions, Unisys will license the
Software as requested. All restrictions applicable to Customer will also
apply to any permitted service bureau users. Unisys agrees that the
Corporations' present uses are permitted under this Agreement.
10.8. This Agreement does not transfer to Customer title to any
intellectual property contained in any Software, documentation or
Proprietary Information.
10.9 ***** *
11. Warranties and Disclaimers

WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE. UNISYS

PARTICULAR PURPOSE AS TO BOTH UNISYS AND NON-UNISYS PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.
UNISYS WARRANTIES EXTEND SOLELY TO THE CORPORATIONS.
12. Equipment:
12.1.***** *

14.1. Unisys warrants that equipment and Software will be supported in

warranty will be to conform to the Service Descriptions. Equipment parts
which are removed for replacement by Unisys become the property of Unisys.
Unisys warrants and represents that it will have good and clear title, free
of any liens or encumbrances to replacement hardware parts; replacement
conveys such title to Nasdaq. Any replacement item shall perform to at
least the manufacturers' specifications of the replaced item when new.

workmanship of non-Unisys-provided products and services, (ii) accidents,
misuse, negligence or failure of Customer to follow previously provided

operations representative. If Monday is a Holiday, then if requested by
Nasdaq on 2 weeks notice (oral or written to the local Unisys field service
manager), Unisys shall perform the preventive maintenance services on
Monday, without additional charge.
14.7. With respect to Customer's primary and back-up computer centers,

transitional training as would generally be expected within the industry.
15.2. Unisys may assign, reassign, and substitute personnel at any time and

authorized work as of the effective date of termination.
17. Alterations and Attachments
17.1. If Unisys is providing SURETY Support Services, Customer will give
Unisys prior written notice of any proposed unapproved alterations or
attachments to equipment. Unisys has no obligation to provide SURETY
Support Services for unapproved attachments and alterations. Should Unisys
agree to maintain, support or correct unapproved alterations or

Software as unmodified by Customer.
17.2. Unisys is not responsible for any malfunction, nonperformance or
degradation of performance of Products, supplies or maintenance support
materials caused by or resulting directly or indirectly from any unapproved

malfunction, or Nasdaq returns the affected Products to their condition
absent the unapproved alterations and attachments.
17.3. Unisys warranties will not apply to the extent that an unapproved
alteration or attachment directly or indirectly results in any malfunction,
nonperformance or degradation of performance of Unisys Products; in

portions. The confidential redacted portions have been filed separately
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
19. Intellectual Property Indemnification
19.1. Unisys, at its own expense, will be liable to, defend, indemnify, and
hold harmless Customer (including the Corporations and each of their
employees, directors, and other agents) against claims that Products
furnished under this Agreement infringe a third party's patent or
copyright, or misappropriate trade secret protected under law, provided
Customer: (a) gives Unisys prompt written Notice of such claims, (b)
permits Unisys to defend or settle the claims, and (c) provides reasonable
assistance to Unisys in defending or settling the claims. The duty of
assistance in litigation shall not require and is without waiver of the
attorney-client, work product, or other legal privileges of the
Corporations.
19.2. As to any Product which is subject to a claim of infringement or
misappropriation, Unisys may elect to (a) obtain the right of continued use
of such Product for Customer or (b) replace or modify such Product to avoid
such claim. If neither alternative is available on commercially reasonable
terms, then, in the case of equipment, at the request of Unisys, Customer
will discontinue use and return such equipment and Unisys will grant to
Customer a refund for the price paid to Unisys, less a reasonable offset
for use and obsolescence; in the case of Software, the applicable license
will be terminated and no further charges will accrue. Customer will
receive a pro-rata credit for any unused months on any pre-paid ETP
Software license.
19.3. Unisys will not defend or indemnify Customer to the extent any claim
of infringement or misappropriation (a) is asserted by a parent, subsidiary
or affiliate of Customer, (b) results from Customer's design (which has not
been approved by Unisys in writing) or Customer's unapproved alteration or
attachment of any Product, or (c) results from use of any Product in
combination with any non-Unisys provided Product, except where the
indemnified party is an aider, abetter or contributing infringer.
19.4. This Section states the entire liability of Unisys and Customer's
sole and exclusive remedies for patent or copyright infringement and trade
secret misappropriation.
20. Termination and Cancellation
20.1. Unisys may suspend SURETY Support Services if any payment (other than
one disputed for a bona fide reason, until such dispute is resolved) for
such service under this Agreement is past due more than 60 days, until
payment is received in full, at which time Unisys shall perform all missed
SURETY Support Services.
20.2. Unisys may terminate SURETY Support Services for or change the levels
of support available to an item of Software upon six months written Notice
prior to the expiration of the then-current term for SURETY Support
Services.
20.3. Nasdaq may terminate SURETY Support Services for any particular
Product upon 30 days Notice. Unisys may terminate SURETY Support Services
for any particular Product upon expiration of the applicable term by
providing 180 days prior written notice. Failure to give such notice will
result in a renewal or extension of the license or service in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement. Nasdaq may elect, without prejudice
to any other rights or remedies, to terminate SURETY Support services upon
30 days notice if, in Nasdaq's opinion, Unisys is not providing an adequate
level of service that leads to a loss of trust and confidence in Unisys
services by Nasdaq. As soon as is practicable, authorized representatives
of the parties shall meet and in good faith attempt to resolve the
problems. However, if Nasdaq is not satisfied with the Unisys proposed
resolution, then in the event of termination, Unisys shall promptly refund
to Nasdaq on a pro rata basis any unused portion of prepaid service. The
licenses for any Software automatically terminate upon Customer's permanent
discontinuance of use of the SPU on which the Software was licensed, at
which time Customer must either destroy or return the Software and Software
documentation to Unisys (except archival copies reasonably made for
backup/historical, security, or regulatory purposes). Upon termination or
cancellation of SURETY Support Services, all diagnostics will be returned
to Unisys.
20.4. Without prejudice to other remedies, Unisys may cancel this Agreement
or any order placed under it, for default if, upon written notice, Customer
fails to (i) make any payment identified as delinquent (including payment
of charges for Services) within 60 days of receipt of Notice of delinquency
or (ii) cure any default relating to Sections 0 or 0 within 30 days of
receipt of Notice of default.
20.5. Unisys may suspend SURETY Support Services on 30 days prior written
Notice if Unisys determines that any unapproved alterations or attachments,
or failure to install a maintenance release that does not affect Customer's
application programs will interfere with the provision of such services,
until Customer has returned the affected hardware or software to an
unaltered or current release condition.

23. Arbitration
23.1 Any claim, dispute, or controversy (referred to collectively in this
Section as "Dispute") or other matter arising out of or relating to this
Agreement shall exclusively be subject to final, binding arbitration in
accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association ("AAA") provided, however, that submission of any
Dispute shall not (absent agreement between the parties) be to the AAA. Any
such arbitration will be conducted in New York City. Each party is to
specify one arbitrator within thirty days of receipt by the respondent
party of the written arbitration demand which is to be sent by certified
mail, return receipt requested. After these two arbitrators are named, the
arbitrators will select a third arbitrator within twenty days. This third
arbitrator is to have experience and knowledge of electronic computers, the
computer business, or the securities business. If the arbitrators fail to
appoint a third arbitrator within this time frame, the parties shall
request the AAA (provided such does not require submission of the remainder
of the suit to the AAA) to provide a list of potential arbitrators, and the
parties will select the third arbitrator from that list that is not
objectionable to either party, pursuant to the rules of the AAA. If the
parties fail to agree to a third arbitrator from the list, then the AAA
will appoint the third arbitrator, who is to have experience and knowledge
of electronic computers, the computer business, or the securities business.
A party may enforce the arbitration duties and subsequent awards in court.
23.2 Except as provided in Sections Error! Reference source not found. and
Error! Reference source not found., the arbitrators will have no authority
to award punitive damages, nor any other damages not measured by the
prevailing party's actual damages, and may not, in any event, make any
ruling, finding or award that directly conflicts with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
23.3 Either party, before or during any arbitration, may apply to a court
having jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order or preliminary
injunction where such relief is necessary to protect its interests pending
completion of the arbitration proceedings. Arbitration will not be required
for actions for recovery of specific property, such as actions for
replevin.
23.4 Prior to initiation of arbitration or any other form of legal or
equitable proceeding, the aggrieved party will give the other party written
Notice in accordance with Section 22, describing the Dispute as to which it
intends to initiate action. The parties shall attempt to meet within 20
days of such Notice to attempt to resolve the Dispute. If the parties are
unable to resolve the Dispute within the 20 days period, arbitration may be
initiated.
24. Other Provisions
24.1. All risk of loss or damage to Products procured by Customer hereunder
will pass to Customer upon delivery on the Customer's computer floor, and,
if applicable, after inspection of the uncrated Product by Customer at that
time.
24.2. Neither party will be liable for monetary damages or specific
performance for failure to fulfill its obligations when due to causes
beyond its reasonable control and without the fault or negligence of such
party. Such causes may include, but are not limited to: labor disputes,
strikes, fires, acts of God, floods, earthquakes, war, acts of the public
enemy, riots, acts of military authorities, embargoes, inability to secure
raw materials, or transportation facilities, or unavailability of
communications facilities. However, the aggrieved party may exercise its
other rights under this Agreement.

remedy will not constitute a waiver.

Schedules, and the Specifications that are incorporated herein by
reference) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with
respect to the Products and services provided hereunder and supersedes all
prior proposals and agreements, both written and oral, and all other
written and oral communications between the parties. The terms and
conditions of this Agreement will supersede all other terms and conditions,
including any preprinted terms on any purchase orders.
24.6. Unisys may assign its right to receive payments without Customer's
prior written consent. Any such assignment, however, will not change the
obligations of Unisys to Customer. Customer may share the use of any
Products or this Agreement (including discount arrangements), or assign or
transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in
part, to the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., Nasdaq,
Ltd., or any parent, subsidiary, or sister entity of the above now or
hereafter created without Unisys consent, provided, that Customer remains
responsible to Unisys for the obligations of such other entity or entities.
Customer may also elect to assign Customer's right to purchase and lease
back items ordered hereunder to a third party with prior consent of Unisys
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the
lessor meets Unisys usual and customary credit standards, at anytime prior
to acceptance of the order, and subject to any reasonably agreeable
assignment of purchase rights consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
Otherwise neither party may assign or transfer its rights or obligations or
this Agreement (including by operation of law). Unisys may subcontract any
services described in this Agreement to third parties selected by Unisys,
provided, Unisys remains liable for the quality of work and performance of
any Unisys subcontractor to the same extent as if such were performed by
Unisys itself.
24.7. Nothing in the Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall
(a) confer on any person other than the parties hereto (and any of the
Corporations), or their respective permitted successors or assigns, any
rights to remedies under or by reason of this Agreement; (b) constitute the
parties hereto partners or participants in a joint venture; or (c) appoint
one party the agent of the other.
24.8. The terms and conditions of this Agreement may be modified only in
writing signed by a Unisys Vice President, General Manager or Contracts
Manager and a duly authorized officer of Customer.

related to or arising out of this Agreement, may be brought by either party
more than two years after the cause of action first accrued.

one or more paragraphs or provisions are declared invalid, the remaining
provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
25. Permits and Licenses. Unisys warrants and represents that it now has
and will maintain throughout the term of this Agreement, all necessary
permits and licenses (and associated insurance or bonds) to perform any
work required under this Agreement. To the extent any additional special
permits are required (e.g. building or electrical permits), Nasdaq will
procure such permits at its own cost, unless otherwise agreed between the
parties.
26. Standards. Unisys warrants that it shall perform all work in a good and
workmanlike manner, in accordance with manufacturer and industry standards

limited to radiation, emission, toxic substance, and OSHA. Unisys will
comply with all applicable laws including, but not limited to, employee
taxes, sales/use taxes, American with Disabilities Act, environmental and

Unisys shall insure that the exterior of any equipment and the surrounding
areas are clean and that all discarded parts, supplies and other waste are
placed in Customer's appropriate disposal facilities (e.g., wastebaskets,
dumpsters), provided such does not cause the Corporations to violate any
applicable law or regulation.
27. Nasdaq or Third Party Repair. If Unisys is unable or unwilling to
perform maintenance, repair, or modification work, then notwithstanding any
term in the Agreement, Nasdaq may perform or authorize a third party to
perform maintenance, repair, or modification work. In the event Customer
undertakes such repairs, then Customer shall provide written Notice within
48 hours to Unisys, identifying the equipment on which the emergency
repairs have been performed and any Unisys spare parts used by Customer.
Unisys reserves the right to impose additional charges if such repairs or
modifications undertaken by Customer can be satisfactorily demonstrated by
Unisys to require corrective work or to have caused material harm,
necessitating Unisys to perform a comprehensive examination of the
equipment in order to certify it as eligible for continued enrollment under
Unisys maintenance. In the event that the equipment is irrevocably damaged,
Unisys shall have the right to void the warranty to maintain the equipment
in "good working order" and Customer may elect to continue maintenance
services by Unisys on a "reasonable efforts" basis or terminate maintenance
as to the equipment.

adequate liability insurance.

holding in trust any monies paid by Nasdaq for work done by
sub-contractors. Unisys will promptly pay any amount subject to a
subcontractor lien or otherwise cause the removal of such lien before
foreclosure. Unisys will also ensure, to then extent permitted by law,
through agreements with its subcontractors that in the event of non-payment
by Unisys to the subcontractor after payment for that subcontractor's work
to Unisys by Nasdaq, the subcontractor will waive the right to assert
mechanic's liens against Nasdaq property.

the price of your company's stock or require a public
announcement). While the Corporations offer no
representation or warranty about the enforcement of its
