handling charges as billed in addition to any other non-recurring charges.
-4-
18. (a) During the term of this Agreement, if Subscriber licenses Software from
S&P ComStock, Inc. and pays all the required fees, S&P ComStock, Inc. or its
authorized agents shall provide maintenance service to Subscriber for the
Software and will use reasonable efforts to attempt to correct identifiable and
reproducible material errors due solely to causes within the reasonable control
of S&P ComStock, Inc. or its third party Software providers or developers. In
such case, S&P ComStock, Inc. shall have the option to either promptly replace
or correct the Software so that the Software performs free of such errors, or to
credit the applicable fee on a pro-rata basis according to the amount of time
during which the Software failed to perform. S&P ComStock, Inc. does not
guarantee maintenance service results or represent or warrant that all errors
will be corrected. Subscriber agrees and understands that it will be separately
and additionally charged for any training, copies of materials, assistance in
installation, and upgrades. Provision of maintenance services for any software
program is dependent upon Subscriber's compliance with all minimum hardware
and operating system requirements for such Software in conformity with
specifications provided by S&P ComStock, Inc. To permit S&P ComStock, Inc. to
provide maintenance services, S&P ComStock, Inc. requires that Subscriber
isolate and document Software problems, provide appropriate modems and lines for
S&P ComStock, Inc. to access Subscriber's system remotely, install and test all
fixes and updates, install Subscriber's system from backup, and perform those
other actions reasonably required by S&P ComStock, Inc.; if S&P ComStock, Inc.
performs any such services, Subscriber will be additionally charged at S&P
ComStock, Inc.'s then-current rates.
(b) S&P ComStock, Inc. may change or discontinue Software maintenance
services for any reason at any time after the initial term of this Agreement
upon six (6) month's notice after the initial term of their agreement has been
completed.
(c) S&P ComStock, Inc. shall have no responsibility whatsoever with regard
to the maintenance of any third party software which is not Software
specifically listed in Exhibit B.
19. Should Subscriber file a petition in bankruptcy or be adjudicated a
bankrupt, or if a petition in bankruptcy is filed against Subscriber, or
Subscriber makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or an
arrangement pursuant to any bankruptcy act or takes advantage of the insolvency
laws of any State, or if Subscriber discontinues all of its business, the
Service may be immediately terminated by S&P ComStock, Inc. without notice.
S&P ComStock, Inc. may terminate the Service, upon written notice to Subscriber,
if in S&P ComStock, Inc.'s reasonable judgment Subscriber is in material breach
of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement
under the provisions of this paragraph shall be without prejudice to any other
remedy which S&P ComStock, Inc. may have against the Subscriber. Upon
termination of this Agreement, all fees and charges incurred to such date shall
become immediately due and payable. In addition to and notwithstanding the
above, if Subscriber or any of its employees, agents or representatives, shall
attempt to use or dispose of the Service in a manner contrary to the terms of
this Agreement, S&P ComStock, Inc. shall have the right, in addition to such
other remedies as may be available to it, to injunctive relief enjoining such
acts or attempts, it being acknowledged that legal remedies are inadequate.
20. Subscriber agrees that it will not engage in, and represents that it is not
currently engaged in, the operation of any unlawful transactions or business
and that it will not use or permit anyone to use the Service for any unlawful
purpose.
21. The relationship between Subscriber and S&P ComStock, Inc. is that of
independent contractors and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed to constitute the parties as partners, joint ventures or agents of
one another. This Agreement shall not be assigned or otherwise transferred by
Subscriber without the prior written consent of S&P ComStock, Inc.
-5-
22. Subscriber represents that the signatory below is authorized to act in
behalf of the named Subscriber. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties and supersedes any prior agreements between the parties
with respect to its subject matter, and nothing stated heretofore or hereafter
will be considered part of this Agreement without a mutually agreeable amendment
executed by authorized representatives of the parties. None of the provisions
of the Agreement shall be deemed to be waived or modified, other than as
expressly stated in writing signed by both parties. The failure of either of
the parties hereto to enforce, or the delay by either party in enforcing, any of
its rights under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver or
modification by the parties of any of their rights under this Agreement.
Any notices required to be sent hereunder shall be sent by mail to the
respective address set forth below or by fax to the number set forth below,
unless either party notifies the other of a change in such address or number.
23. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York,
without regard to the choice of law provisions thereof, and Subscriber agrees
that any action arising out of this Agreement or the breach thereof shall be
resolved in New York and Subscriber hereby agrees to submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the New York courts for the resolution of any such dispute.
24. In the event any legal action is taken by S&P ComStock, Inc. with respect
to the Service, Subscriber agrees to pay all court costs, including
disbursements and reasonable attorneys' fees.
25. Neither party shall have any liability for any default resulting from force
majeure, which shall be deemed to include any circumstances beyond its control.

government, fires, floods, strikes, civil disturbances or terrorism, or power,
communications line, satellite or network failures.
