For due consideration and for the mutual benefit of the executing parties, including SunGard Sherwood Systems (US) Inc. (“Sherwood”) and the customer named in this Agreement (“Customer”), Customer hereby contracts to license Sherwood software as set forth in the charges schedule (“Order Form”) to this Agreement and documentation as defined in the Software License hereto and any related service/s as set forth in any attached Schedules and Sub-Schedules to this Agreement (all collectively referred to as the “Product”) and the parties agree the following:

Non-Disclosure Agreement; Schedule 3. Software License; Schedule 4. Support and Maintenance; Schedule 5. Enhanced Support; Schedule 6.

2. | Sherwood will offer Product as set forth in Schedule 1. Both parties hereby agree to the terms of or have executed the Sherwood Non-Disclosure Agreement. Licensing terms and conditions shall be found in Schedule 3. and are manifestly incorporated with any Sherwood software purchase. The Order Form hereto is an initial charges schedule that sets out the costs of Customer’s initial purchases under this Agreement and any Product not specifically listed in the Order Form shall not be entitled to nor enjoyed by the Customer. Further Schedules and/or Sub-Schedules, changes and/or any additions to this Agreement not specified in this Agreement at the Effective Date may be subsequently agreed and incorporated by a mutually executed written amendment or via a Change Order Form under the Sherwood Change Control Process. Terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail over any attached/ incorporated Schedule, agreement, or prior or subsequent written communication or understanding in the event of a conflict between the same. | |||
3. | Customer shall keep Product and any operating manuals and other documentation supplied under this Agreement strictly confidential, and shall not disclose their content other than to employees, agents, or contractors who require them for the sole purposes of Customer’s license under this Agreement and who are aware of and agree to non-disclosure obligations hereunder. Customer is responsible for its use of Product under this Agreement and must not add to, modify, nor in any way interfere with software source code without Sherwood’s prior written authorisation or as allowed under this Agreement, nor allow anyone else (other than a party authorised by Sherwood in writing) to do so. | |||
4. | Delivery of Product shall be F.O.B. Sherwood’s offices (“Delivery”). Both parties will use best efforts to deliver any service/s included with Product and/or ready to use by any date specified and agreed by and between the parties. Any date shall be treated as an estimate and Sherwood does not accept any liability for failure to meet such a date. Except as otherwise specified on the Order Form, undisputed payment is due within net thirty (30) days of Sherwood’s invoice date in USD. If an invoice is not paid during this period, Sherwood may charge daily interest on late payments at a rate equal to the base-standard lending rate as published in the Wall Street Journal. Unless otherwise stated in Order Form, prices include Delivery only, and exclude Product install, deployment, professional services, or the like, withholding tax and any other taxes and/or duties (including import and export duties) for which Customer is liable. | |||
5. | Sherwood may not assign the Agreement to another party who is not an affiliate of Sherwood without the prior written consent of Customer and such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Sherwood may transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any person/entity, but it is understood and agreed that when Sherwood uses a sub-contractor to perform Services in relation to Schedule 6 herein, then Sherwood will verbally or otherwise inform Customer. Customer shall not charge, dispose, or encumber in any way nor assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the express prior written consent of Sherwood and such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. | |||
6. | Customer is responsible for ensuring Product is suitable for its own needs, and any warranty, statement, or promise regarding any Sherwood Product is only valid if given in writing by Sherwood. Both parties agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations and shall indemnify the other party against any liability and losses resulting from its failure to do so. | |||
7. | Sherwood does not exclude or limit liability for fraud, death, or personal injury resulting from its own negligence (or that of its employees whilst acting in the course of their employment). However, except where expressly set forth herein, Sherwood shall have no liability in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise for any loss of revenue, business, contracts, anticipated savings, profits, data, or information, or loss of use or value of any equipment or software, or for any indirect or consequential losses and/or damages, even if Sherwood had been advised, knew, or should have known the possibility of such loss or damages. In addition to the foregoing, neither party shall be considered to be in default hereto if performance or obligations are prevented or delayed by causes beyond either party’s reasonable control. Subject to the foregoing, any Sherwood liability to Customer in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise arising in connection with the Product or this Agreement is strictly limited to the aggregate amounts paid by the Customer under this Agreement. | |||
8. | Rights, powers, privileges, and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers, privileges or remedies provided by law or otherwise. A waiver by either party of its rights hereunder shall not be binding unless contained in writing signed by an authorised representative of the party waiving its rights (which shall be the Global Head of Legal – General Counsel for Sherwood only for Sherwood). The non-enforcement or waiver of any provision on one occasion shall not constitute a waiver of such provision on any other occasions unless expressly agreed in writing. Notice to either party will be sufficiently made if sent by registered post or facsimile or hand delivery to the contact for legal notice at the address/es set out hereto, or to other such address/es as may be notified in writing from time-to-time. | |||
9. | Changes/additions/modifications to any service/s and/or Product involving further purchasing can be ordered by Customer via a Sherwood Change Order Form executed by an authorised representative of Customer. Changes/additions/ modifications to this Agreement must be made in writing, and must be signed by both parties as an Amendment to this Agreement and/or a Sherwood Change Order Form and copied to each party’s contact for legal notice. No use of trade or other regular practice or method of dealing between the parties hereto shall modify, interpret, supplement, or alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement or any part of any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted by law. Termination of this Agreement for whatever cause shall not affect rights, obligations, or liabilities of the parties accrued prior to termination. Clauses 3, 9, 10, and 15 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. | |||
10. | Unless otherwise specified in the Order Form the term of this Agreement (“Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date set forth above and with respect to the License the Term is perpetual unless validly terminated by either party. Failure by Customer to make undisputed payment due and owing under this Agreement within thirty (30) days of written notice thereof shall [except for Customer’s failure to pay any undisputed amount payable with respect to a Renewal Maintenance Term] confer upon Sherwood the right to terminate without further notice. Notwithstanding, termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not release Customer from any obligation to pay Sherwood undisputed sums outstanding under the Term or otherwise. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Customer shall return at Customer’s expense all copies of software or other tangible Product together with a certified statement by a duly authorised officer of Customer stating that the same has been returned or destroyed. | |||
11. | Both parties agree to maintain and obtain, at its own expense, governmental authorisations, registrations, and filings that may be required to execute, perform, or enjoy the benefits of this Agreement, and to comply with all regulations, laws, and other legal requirements that apply to this Agreement including tax and foreign exchange legislation. This Agreement is made under and shall be construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, and the parties agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of New York Courts. | |||
12. | Both parties shall not, directly or through one or more subsidiaries or other controlled entities, solicit or endeavour to entice away from or discourage from |

SCHEDULE 2 MUTUAL CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT
The parties to this Agreement have determined to establish terms governing the confidentiality of certain information one party (“Owner”) may disclose to the other party (“Recipient”). In consideration for each party agreeing to disclose such information to the other party, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:
1. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean information, data or material deemed proprietary by the Owner and which may be marked, or, if orally transmitted, designated as “Confidential” by the Owner and not generally known by the public or by parties which are competitive with or otherwise in an industry, trade or business similar to Owner. Confidential Information also includes any information described above which the Owner obtains from another party and which the Owner treats as proprietary or designates in writing as Confidential Information, whether or not owned or developed by the Owner. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, the following types of information and other information of a similar nature (whether or not reduced to writing): discoveries, ideas, concepts, software in various stages of development, designs, drawings, specifications, techniques, models, data, source code, object code, algorithms, documentation, user manuals, diagrams, flow charts, consulting methods and techniques, research, development, processes, procedures, “know-how”, marketing techniques and materials, marketing and development plans, market analysis, customer names and other information related to customers, price lists, pricing policies and financial information, methods of production, use, operation and application, invented, owned or developed by the Owner as it applies to and is incorporated in Owner’s proprietary software, and any patents, copyrights, trademarks existing now, for which applications may be pending or hereafter made, acquired and granted for any of Owner’s software and any improvements, enhancements or modifications thereto, Owner’s physical security system, access control systems, specialized recovery equipment and techniques, and the details of the Owner’s computer operations and recovery procedures. Confidential Information shall further include data regarding business practices, pricing, product philosophy, position relative to competitors, and review of actual deliverables of consulting projects.
2. Recipient will use the same reasonable efforts to protect such Confidential Information of the Owner as it uses to protect its own proprietary information and data. Disclosure of the Confidential Information shall be restricted to those individuals who are participating in the proposed transaction on a “need to know” basis and who are advised of this Agreement and agree to be bound by its terms, or as otherwise may be required by law.
3. Recipient shall not make any reproductions, disclosure or use of the Confidential Information for its own benefit to the detriment of the Owner except as follows:
(a) | Recipient may use such Confidential Information furnished by the Owner in furtherance of the purpose for which disclosure was made by the Owner to Recipient and; | |||
(b) | Recipient may use such Confidential Information in accordance with any written authorization received from the Owner. |
4. Recipient will not directly or indirectly attempt to reverse engineer, decrypt, disassemble, decompile, decipher, reconstruct or re-orient the circuit design, algorithms, logic or program code in any of the Owner’s products, models or prototypes which contain Confidential Information and which are provided pursuant to this Agreement. The Recipient will not receive any rights by implication or otherwise in any Confidential Information received by Recipient under this Agreement.
5. The limitations on reproduction, disclosure or use of the Confidential Information shall not apply if, and neither party shall be liable for reproduction, disclosure or use of Confidential Information with respect to which, any of the following conditions exist:
a) | If, prior to the receipt thereof under this Agreement, it has been developed independently by the Recipient, or was lawfully known to |
the Recipient, or has been lawfully received by the Recipient from other sources, provided such other source did not receive it due to a breach of an agreement with the Owner, and Recipient knows of such breach.
(b) If, subsequent to the receipt thereof under this Agreement, (i) it is published by the Owner or is disclosed by the Owner to others without a restriction on its use and disclosure, or (ii) it has been lawfully obtained by the Recipient from other sources which the Recipient reasonably believes lawfully came to possess it.
(c) If the Recipient is required by law to make such disclosure, provided a reasonable opportunity is first provided to the Owner to contest such disclosure.
(d) Information publicly known that is generally employed by the trade, business or industry at or after the time the Recipient first learns of such information, or generic information or knowledge which the Recipient would have learned in the course of its work in the trade, business or industry, shall not be deemed part of the Confidential Information.
6. Because of the unique nature of the Confidential Information, the Recipient understands and agrees that the Owner may suffer irreparable harm in the event that the Recipient fails to comply with any of its obligations hereunder and that monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate the Owner for such breach. Accordingly, the Recipient agrees that the Owner, in addition to any other remedies available to it under this Agreement or at law or in equity for actual damages, shall be entitled to seek remedies of specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable relief to enforce the terms of this Agreement.
7. During the discussions contemplated by this Agreement, neither the Owner nor its affiliates will disclose to the Recipient or its affiliates any information regarding United States patents which may be held or applied for by or for the benefit of the Owner. To the extent that the Owner or its affiliates wishes to disclose any patent information to the Recipient or its affiliates, Owner and Recipient will first enter into an amendment to this Agreement which contains a provision relating to the terms, conditions and legal effect of such disclosure.
8. The obligations under this Agreement shall continue for so long as the Owner treats the Confidential Information disclosed to Recipient hereunder as confidential. Upon request, each party agrees to promptly return all originals and copies of any of the Confidential Information either may have obtained from the other.
9. The Owner shall not have any liability or responsibility for errors or omissions in, or any business decisions made by Recipient in reliance on, any Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement.
10. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This Agreement contains the full and complete understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior representations and understandings, whether oral or written,
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereunto set their respective hands and seals, on the dates hereinafter set forth below.

Schedule 3 Software License Agreement (Americas)
This software license agreement (“License”) is effective upon SunGard Sherwood Systems (US) Inc. (“Sherwood”) Delivery of Product. Product is provided to Customer under the terms of this License and as set out in the applicable Sherwood Master Software Sales and Services Agreement (“Master”) (together, this License, a Schedule to the Master as defined herein and any other Schedule to the Master, and the Master, are the “Agreement”). Definitions hereunder are as defined in the Agreement.
1. | Construction and Definitions |
Terms defined in the Master have the same meanings in this License. In addition,
“Documentation” means any documentary guide to Product and any other literature relating thereto supplied by Sherwood (or an Indirect Supplier) from time to time in any form whatsoever including but not limited to hard copy, electronic mail, and/or any other form of communication (whether in use on the date of this Agreement or not);
“Intellectual Property Right” means (a) patents, trade marks, service marks, registered designs, applications for any of those rights, utility models, trade and business names (including internet domain names and e-mail address names), unregistered trade marks and service marks, copyrights, know-how, database rights, rights in designs and inventions; and (b) rights of the same or similar effect or nature as or to those in paragraph; and (c) in each case in any jurisdiction;
“Key” means code which may be given to Customer by Sherwood to enable Product to provide the level of functionality for which Customer has paid License Fees;
“License Fee” means fees payable by Customer in respect of and in due consideration of Customer’s license rights to use Product as set in the Sherwood Order Form;
“Master” means the Sherwood Master Software Sales and Services Agreement to which this License is a Schedule and any and all other Schedules under the same.
2. | License |
2.1 In consideration either of Customer’s payment of License Fees to Sherwood or the Customer lawfully acquiring the Product from a reseller, systems integrator, channel partner, distributor, and/or other third party (referred to herein as an “Indirect Supplier”), Sherwood hereby grants Customer and its subsidiaries, affiliates, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Product in machine-readable object code form only (except as allowed under this Agreement (“License”); this License authorises use strictly in accordance with Agreement. Customer may grant access to the Product to its agents, and other representatives or contractor(s) so long as such contractor(s) are working directly for and on behalf of Customer within the scope of this agreement and agree to the confidentiality obligations of Sherwood contained herein.
2.2 No rights or Licenses are granted to the Customer expressly, by estoppel, or by implication, with respect to any proprietary information or patent, copyright, trade secret, or other Intellectual Property Right owned or controlled by Sherwood, except as expressly provided for herein, or on the Order Form.
2.3 Documentation is provided solely to support Customer’s authorised use of Product in accordance with the Agreement. Except as permitted in Clause 3.1 or 4, Customer shall not use, copy, modify or distribute Documentation, or any copy, adaptation, transcription, or merged portion thereof.
3. | Covenants | |||
3.1 | Customer covenants it shall: |
(a) not use Product except in accordance with Documentation;
(and such Documentation relating to Customer implementation shall be allowed to be distributed to Customer’s clients and agents provided that the Customer’s clients and agents comply with the confidentiality obligations contained herein and shall not further distribute).
(b) not copy or, modify, or distribute Product (electronically or otherwise), or any copy, adaptation, transcription, or merged portion thereof, other than for back-up purposes expressly permitted by this Agreement, or for internal use where the appropriate License Fee is paid;
(c) not copy configuration files generated by any Sherwood Product onto devices or managed network interfaces other than those expressly consented to by Sherwood by notice in writing; or
(d) transfer, lease, assign, or sub-license Product without Sherwood’s prior written consent and such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
3.2 Upon written notice from Sherwood and failure of Customer to cure within thirty (30) days, if the Customer uses, copies, or modifies Product or transfers possession of any copy, adaptation, transcription, or merged portion of Product to any separate company in any way not expressly authorised by Sherwood in writing, Customer’s License hereunder will automatically terminate.
3.3 Customer will ensure Sherwood has access to Customer’s premises on five (5) days’ prior notice and is able to inspect Product in any reasonable manner during regular business hours to verify Customer’s compliance with the terms hereof. Where Sherwood has reason to believe Customer may be using Product in breach of Agreement, Sherwood may obtain (and Customer shall grant) access to Customer’s premises and to Product with five (5) days’ notice to conduct an audit. If an audit demonstrates a breach of Agreement, Customer shall pay the costs of any audit and increased License Fee to reflect the actual number of users involved, reasonably backdated, together with any interest due under the Agreement.
3.4 Product is intended to operate in accordance with Documentation and Sherwood’s instructions from time-to-time. Any failure by Customer strictly to comply with the same (“Unauthorised Use”) or with the Non-Disclosure Agreement (“Unauthorised Disclosure”) could lead to severe damage to Customer, a third party, and/or Sherwood, and will constitute a breach of the Agreement. Customer acknowledges the possibility of such damage and hereby agrees that any Unauthorised Use shall be at Customer’s sole risk.
3.5 Save strictly as expressly permitted under applicable law or this Agreement, Customer shall not reverse engineer, de-compile, disassemble, or otherwise make any attempt to derive the source code to Product. Any attempt to do so will automatically terminate all of Customer’s rights and License under the Agreement.
4. | Back-Up Copies |
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
Page 1 of 4
Customer may make a reasonable amount of copies of Product in machine-readable, object code form (with respect to Documentation, in paper form), for non-productive back-up purposes only, provided that Customer reproduces and includes Sherwood’s copyright notice and proprietary legend on each back-up copy. Each back-up copy must be stored in a safe and secure location accessible only to Customer. All copies of Product must be accounted for upon Sherwood’s request. Customer shall instruct its employees, agents, and contractors that making unauthorised copies of Product or any portion thereof, or permitting use of Product other than in accordance with the Agreement, constitutes a breach of copyright law, this License, and the Agreement.
5. | Proprietary Protection |
Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to transfer any Intellectual Property Rights or other interest in Product to Customer. Customer agrees that it neither owns nor hereby acquires any claim or right of ownership to Product or Documentation or to any related Intellectual Property Right. The Customer owns only magnetic tape, CD ROM, or other physical media on which Product is recorded or fixed. Sherwood retains all right, title, and interest in and to (i) Documentation, and (ii) all copies of Product recorded on the original media, and (iii) all subsequent copies of Product at all times regardless of the form or media in or which the original or other copies may subsequently exist. This Agreement is not a sale of the original or any subsequent copy of Product. Customer shall use its best efforts to prevent and protect the contents of Product from unauthorised disclosure, use, dissemination, and/or copying. For the avoidance of doubt it is understood and agreed that each screen will include the appropriate copyright protection, and Sherwood logo as mutually agreed by the parties.
6. | Confidentiality |
Customer acknowledges that any Keys provided to Customer, and ideas, principles, and algorithms which underlie or are contained within Product, including any interface information or information required for interoperability, are (without limitation or exception) all confidential information and valuable trade secrets of Sherwood and subject to the confidentiality restrictions in the Non-Disclosure Agreement.
7. | Warranty |
7.1 Sherwood warrants that for a period of one (1) year after Delivery (the “Warranty Period”), the media on which Product is delivered (if any) will be free of defects in materials or workmanship (provided it is properly used in accordance with this Agreement). If a defect in any CD ROM occurs during such period the Customer may return the CD ROM (or other media on which Product was supplied) and Sherwood will replace it.
7.2 Sherwood warrants that it has the right to license to Customer the use of the Product. Sherwood warrants that the use of the Product by Customer will not infringe any UK or US patent, copyright or other intellectual property right of any third party.
7.3 Both parties respectively warrant that it is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of a state of the United States; that it has all the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform this Agreement; that it has duly authorized execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement; that it has and shall maintain any governmental license, authorization, or qualification required for it to perform this Agreement; no approval, authorization, or consent of any governmental or regulatory authority is required to be obtained for it to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement; and to its knowledge, there is no outstanding litigation, arbitrated matter, or other dispute to which it is a party which, if decided unfavorably to it, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its ability to fulfil its respective obligations under this Agreement.
7.4 Sherwood warrants that Product shall materially operate and conform to the specifications, functions, and other descriptions and standards applicable thereto as set forth in the Critical Functionalities (as defined herein). Any unauthorized changes to the Product shall void the warranty provided under this subsection with respect to that portion of the Product modified. If, at any time, Customer discovers one or more defects or errors in the Product such that the Product fails in any material respect to conform with the provisions of any warranty contained in this subparagraph, Sherwood shall correct such defect, error, or non-conformity by, among other things, supplying Customer with such corrective codes and making such additions, modifications, or adjustments to the Product as may be necessary to keep the Product in operating condition in conformity with the Critical Functionalities.
7.5 Sherwood warrants to Customer that it has the full legal right to grant to Customer the license granted under this Agreement, and that the Software and Documentation, as and when delivered to Customer by Sherwood and when properly used for the purpose and in the manner specifically authorized by this Agreement, do not infringe upon any United States patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right of any Person. Sherwood shall defend and indemnify Customer against any third party claim to the extent attributable to a violation of the foregoing warranty. Sherwood shall have no liability or obligation under this Section 7 unless Customer gives written notice to Sherwood within ten (10) days (provided that later notice shall relieve Sherwood of its liability and obligations under this Section 7 only to the extent that Customer is prejudiced by such later notice) after any applicable infringement claim is initiated against Customer and allows Sherwood to have sole control of the defence or settlement of the claim. If any applicable infringement claim is initiated, or in Sherwood’s sole opinion is likely to be initiated, then Sherwood shall have the option, at its expense, to:
(a) modify or replace all or the infringing part of the Software or Documentation so that it is no longer infringing, provided that the Software functionality does not change in any material adverse respect; or
