3.	TERM AND TERMINATION.

This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall continue in effect thereafter for as long as any Order Schedule entered into pursuant to this Agreement remains in effect. Unless otherwise specified in the Order Schedule, (i) the term of each Order Schedule shall commence on the Commencement Date as specified in the applicable Order Schedule and shall continue for the duration of the initial term as specified therein (the “Initial Term”), and (ii) following the Initial Term, each Order Schedule shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year terms (each a “Renewal Term”) (the Initial Term and Renewal Term(s), together the “Term”) unless either party notifies the other in writing of its decision not to extend the term of the applicable Order Schedule at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Term then in effect.

Either party may terminate any Order Schedule by giving sixty (60) days prior written notice to the other party if the terminating party believes in good faith that material damage or harm is threatened or occurring to its reputation or goodwill by reason of its continued performance thereunder; provided, however, that such termination shall not take effect if the condition threatening or causing such damage or harm is corrected within such notice period.

In the event of any breach of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement or any Order Schedule by either party, the other party may terminate the applicable Order Schedule by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof; provided, however, that such termination shall not take effect if the party in breach cures or corrects the breach within such notice period.

Either party may terminate any or all Order Schedules immediately upon written notice to the other if the other party is adjudicated as bankrupt or if a petition in bankruptcy is filed by or against the other party or if the other party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or an arrangement pursuant to any bankruptcy act or insolvency laws.

During the Term of the applicable Order Schedule, S&P shall inform Licensee promptly upon any termination of S&P’s right to license the Indices or Marks of any third party licensor or its affiliates; and in such event the parties shall modify the Order Schedule accordingly and Licensee’s right to such Index or Marks shall terminate without liability to S&P.

S&P shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to cease creation, compilation, and publication of any Index and S&P shall be under no obligation to offer a replacement or substitute index. In such event, S&P shall give Licensee at least ninety (90) days written notice prior to such discontinuance, which notice shall specify whether a replacement or substitute index will be made available. In the event that Licensee desires to use such offered replacement or substitute index under the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Order Schedule, it shall so notify S&P in writing within sixty (60) days after receiving such written notice from S&P. In the event that Licensee does not provide S&P with such written notice within the specified time period or no substitute or replacement index is made available, the applicable Order Schedule shall be terminated as of the date specified in the S&P notice.

Licensee may terminate the applicable Order Schedule upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to S&P if (i) Licensee is informed of the final adoption of any legislation or regulation or the issuance of any interpretation that in Licensee’s reasonable judgment materially impairs Licensee’s ability to market and/or promote the Product; or (ii) any material litigation or regulatory proceeding regarding the Product is threatened or commenced against Licensee.

S&P may terminate the applicable Order Schedule upon ninety (90) days (or upon such lesser period of time if required pursuant to a court order) prior written notice to Licensee if (i) S&P is informed of the final adoption of any legislation or regulation or the issuance of any interpretation that in S&P’s reasonable judgment materially impairs S&P’s ability to license and provide the Index and/or the Marks under this Agreement and the applicable Order Schedule in connection with a Product; or (ii) any litigation or proceeding is threatened or commenced and S&P reasonably believes that such litigation or proceeding would have a material and adverse effect upon the Index and/or Marks or upon the ability of S&P to perform under this Agreement or the applicable Order Schedule.

In the event of termination of any Order Schedule(s) under this Agreement, fees payable to S&P thereunder shall be computed based on the number of days remaining in the then-current Term, up to and including the date of expiration of such Term; except in the event Licensee terminates pursuant to Section 3(C) or S&P terminates pursuant to Sections 3(E), 3(F) and/or 3(G) hereunder, in which case, applicable fees payable to S&P shall be computed by prorating the amount of the applicable fees on the basis of the number of elapsed days in the current Term up to and including the effective date of such termination.

Upon termination of any Order Schedule(s) by either party, Licensee shall cease all use of the Index and the Marks affected thereby and Licensee shall not issue any additional Products that use or refer to the affected Index and/or Marks. At S&P’s request, Licensee shall certify to S&P in writing that Licensee has fully complied with this requirement.

4.	FEES/PAYMENTS.

As consideration for the license granted by S&P under this Agreement, Licensee shall pay the fees as set forth in the applicable Order Schedule commencing on the Commencement Date (unless otherwise set forth therein).

Master Index License Agreement

(2) year period after termination of the applicable Order Schedule or any Product described therein, S&P shall have the right, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice to Licensee, to (i) audit and review relevant portions of those records and (ii) audit the manner of usage of the Indices and Marks by Licensee, in each case to confirm that usage has been accurately determined and restrictions on use have been observed. S&P’s failure to conduct an audit pursuant to this Section 4B shall not relieve Licensee from its responsibilities to comply fully with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Order Schedules. Licensee agrees to permit S&P or its representatives to periodically inspect, at Licensee’s location(s) and during reasonable hours and at reasonable intervals, any network or platform on or by which any portion of the Indices or Marks are accessed for purposes of establishing compliance with the terms of this Agreement and all Order Schedules. S&P agrees to keep, and shall require its auditors to keep confidential, and not to use or disseminate, any information obtained in connection with the audit or review pursuant to this Section 4B. The costs of such audit shall be borne by S&P unless such audit reveals an underpayment by Licensee of five percent (5%) or more; in such case, Licensee shall reimburse S&P for its costs and expenses in conducting such audit.

If any fees paid to S&P hereunder are subject to withholding taxes by a country other than the country of tax residence of S&P (“Home Country”), Licensee shall provide to S&P an original receipt from the tax authorities of such foreign country evidencing the amount of tax withheld. Such receipt shall be furnished at the time such fee is paid to S&P or as soon thereafter as is practicable. If S&P is denied a foreign tax credit due to the failure of Licensee to provide satisfactory evidence of the amount withheld, Licensee shall pay to S&P an amount sufficient to compensate, on an after tax basis, for the credit denied. If a tax treaty exists between the Home Country and the foreign country that is subjecting the fees to withholding taxes, S&P hereby elects to apply the withholding rate applicable under such tax treaty. If Licensee requires a special certificate from S&P to make the election, the certificate must be provided to S&P at the time of execution of this Agreement or the applicable Order Schedule.

5.	S&P’S OBLIGATIONS.

A.	S&P shall not and is in no way obliged to engage in any marketing or promotional activities in connection with the Product or in making any representation or statement to investors or prospective investors in connection with the Product.

Licensee shall submit to S&P for its review and approval all informational materials pertaining to and to be used in connection with the Product, including, where applicable, all prospectuses, registration statements, and any other documents required to be filed with governmental or regulatory agencies, application forms, contracts, videos, internet sites, electronic commerce, advertisements, brochures, and promotions, and any other similar informational materials (in any form or media) that in any way use or refer to S&P, any Index, and/or any Marks (the “Informational Materials”).

Any disapproval shall indicate S&P’s reasons therefor. Any failure by S&P to respond within such time frame specified in the applicable Order Schedule shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of S&P’s right to review such Informational Materials. Informational Materials shall be addressed to S&P as set forth in the applicable Order Schedule. Once Informational Materials have been approved by S&P, subsequent Informational Materials which do not materially alter the use or description of S&P, the Index, or the Marks need not be submitted for review and approval by S&P.
