2.2 Services at Data Center.

2.2.1 General. In the event Subscriber seeks to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Subscriber Cabinet, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, additional computer equipment, accessories, peripherals, software or other materials (collectively, “Additional Equipment”) to be covered by the Services, then Subscriber shall so notify Instinet. Subscriber shall provide Instinet with such information as Instinet may reasonably request to enable Instinet to determine, based on space availability and Data Center infrastructure and logistical requirements, whether to permit Subscriber to deliver and/or install any Additional Equipment. Within one (1) business day following receipt of all such information, Instinet shall notify Subscriber whether such permission is granted (which shall not be

unreasonably withheld or conditioned) and, if so, any additional reasonable requirements (including size limitations, power consumption levels, infrastructure support requirements, etc.) applicable to any such Additional Equipment. Without limiting the foregoing, Subscriber shall not deliver to or install in the Data Center any equipment or other materials reasonably likely to harm the Data Center, Instinet’s equipment, networks or systems or third party equipment, networks or systems. The Purchased Equipment and any Additional Equipment shall collectively be referred to as the “Subscriber Systems.” Subscriber shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with the delivery to and installation in the Data Center of any approved Additional Equipment and for ensuring that such Additional Equipment satisfies the additional requirements, if any, applicable to such Additional Equipment as so notified to Subscriber by Instinet. Instinet shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Building make available to Subscriber commercial standard loading docks to permit Subscriber to deliver and remove, as necessary, the Subscriber Systems to and from the Subscriber Cabinet. No other equipment is available for use by Subscriber and it shall be Subscriber’s sole responsibility to supply any equipment necessary to deliver and install any approved Additional Equipment or Subscriber Systems (other than for the Initial Installation). Subject to Subscriber’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the Representatives shall be permitted access to the Data Center and the Subscriber Cabinet on a 24-hour, seven day a week, 365 day basis, as necessary to deliver, install, operate, monitor, maintain, repair, replace and/or remove any or all of the Subscriber Systems. If Subscriber seeks to deliver, install, maintain, repair, replace, and/or remove any approved Additional Equipment or other Subscriber Systems other than during normal business hours, Subscriber shall notify Instinet thereof and of the dates and times when Subscriber is available to deliver and/or install such equipment so that Instinet may schedule an after hours appointment with the Building. Promptly following receipt of such notice, Instinet shall use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule an appointment at a time mutually acceptable to the Building and Subscriber. Subscriber shall be solely responsible for any additional fees or costs associated with any access to the Building other than during normal business hours (including any overtime costs of union personnel at the Building).

2.2.2 Subscriber Cabinet. Instinet shall provide and maintain the cabinet space, racking and dimension requirements listed on Attachments A and B to this Agreement, for the Purchased Equipment, within the Data Center (the “Subscriber Cabinet”). The Subscriber Cabinet shall be suitable, as reasonably determined by Instinet, for the proper storage and operation of the Purchased Equipment. In the event that from time to time after the Services Commencement Date Subscriber requires changes to space, communication or electrical conversions or other requirements in connection with any of the Subscriber Systems, Subscriber shall notify Instinet of the same and Instinet shall review such request and within three (3) business days after receipt of such request shall make a reasonable determination regarding whether it is able to accommodate such additional requirements, taking into account such factors as the space, power consumption and infrastructure support implications of such additional requirements. If Instinet is able to accommodate such additional requirements, Instinet shall within five (5) business days after the receipt of such request provide Subscriber with a schedule and budget, in reasonable detail, indicating the timetable for and cost of such additional requirements. In the event that Subscriber agrees in writing to such timetable and costs, Instinet shall provide such additional requirements in accordance with such schedule and budget. Other than for access required by authorized Instinet employees or contractors in order to perform Instinet’s obligations under this Agreement, or as may be required by Applicable Law or legal process, Instinet shall not permit any Person other than a Representative to have access to any of the Subscriber Systems or any portion of the Subscriber Cabinet. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Instinet may inspect and following a commercially reasonable effort to give notice to Subscriber may remove or disable any equipment in the Subscriber Cabinet that it reasonably believes is unsafe or harmful to the Data Center, Instinet’s equipment, networks or systems or third party equipment, networks or systems. Subscriber will use the Subscriber Cabinet only for the purposes of installing, marketing, operating, monitoring, maintaining, repairing, replacing and/or removing the Subscriber Systems.

2.2.3 Fire Protection. Instinet’s fire protection measures maintained at the Data Center shall be in accordance with customary industry standards. Such measures maintained by Instinet shall, at a minimum, be compliant with requirements set by applicable city ordinances, building codes, and any other applicable rule or ordinance related to fire safety and prevention.

Instinet shall be responsible for developing and maintaining physical security measures for the Data Center and for the Subscriber Cabinet that define specific requirements in regard to monitoring controls and procedures assigned for the security and safety of the Subscriber Systems and are consistent with customary industry standards. If at any time Instinet becomes aware that any of the security measures in place for any portion of the Data Center or any portion of the Subscriber Cabinet are compromised or otherwise violated or may be inadequate, Instinet shall provide notice of such event as soon as reasonably practicable to Subscriber in accordance with such notification and escalation call lists as Subscriber shall have, from time to time, provided to Instinet. In the event of a breach of the security measures, upon reasonable request, Instinet shall permit Subscriber to inspect the automatic security logs within twenty-four (24) hours following the receipt of such notice.

Instinet warrants and agrees that (i) Subscriber shall retain all right, title and interest (or leasehold or license interest, as applicable) in and to the Subscriber Systems, (ii) Instinet shall have no right, title or interest (ownership or otherwise) in any of the Subscriber Systems, and (iii) Instinet shall have no right to grant a security interest in or otherwise encumber any of the Subscriber Systems; provided, that Instinet shall be permitted to take a lien on any Subscriber’s Systems to the extent Subscriber fails to make any payment owed by Subscriber to Instinet or any of its Affiliates hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.2.6 Liens. Subject to Section 2.2.5, Instinet shall not cause (or allow any Person under its direction or control to cause) any of the Subscriber Systems, or any interest therein, to become subject to any Lien, other than any Lien imposed by Subscriber.

2.2.7 Notice of and Liability for Loss. Without limiting Article 11, if at any time Instinet becomes aware that any of the Subscriber Systems have been lost, damaged, destroyed or come into the possession of a third party and such possession is not in accordance with this Agreement, Instinet shall provide notice of such event as soon as reasonably practicable to Subscriber. Subject to Article 11 but notwithstanding Section 11.4, Instinet shall be liable for repair and/or replacement costs relating to the Subscriber Systems in the event of any loss, damage or destruction to the Subscriber Systems caused by (i) the gross negligence of or willful misconduct of Instinet or any of its agents or representatives or (ii) a breach by Instinet of Section 2.2.3 or Section 2.2.4.

2.2.8 Certain Benefits. Instinet agrees that Instinet’s Agents shall not be eligible to participate in, or receive benefits under, any employee benefit plans, arrangements or policies of Subscriber or any of its Affiliates, including any plan, arrangement or policy providing bonus, vacation, stock options, stock purchase, sick leave, disability, health or life insurance, 401(k), retirement, profit sharing or similar benefits (collectively, “Benefit Plans”). Instinet shall defend, indemnify and hold Subscriber harmless from and against all Losses relating to any obligation imposed upon Subscriber to pay any withholding taxes, social security, unemployment insurance, or similar items, or to provide coverage or benefits under any of its Benefit Plans, in each case in connection with compensation received by Instinet or Instinet’s Agents. If any of Instinet’s Agents are later determined to have been common-law employees or other employees of Subscriber for any purpose, such individual(s)

nevertheless shall not be entitled to participate or receive benefits under any Benefit Plan of Subscriber or any of its Affiliates. Instinet acknowledges that no insurance whatsoever, including worker’s compensation insurance, has been or will be obtained by Subscriber on Instinet’s behalf. Subscriber agrees that Subscriber and its Affiliates and their respective employees, agents and subcontractors (“Subscriber’s Agents”) shall not be eligible to participate in, or receive benefits under, any employee benefit plans, arrangements or policies of Instinet or any of its Affiliates, including any Benefit Plans. Subscriber shall defend, indemnify and hold Instinet harmless from and against all Losses relating to any obligation imposed upon Instinet to pay any withholding taxes, social security, unemployment insurance, or similar items, or to provide coverage or benefits under any of its Benefit Plans, in each case in connection with compensation or services received by Subscriber or Subscriber’s Agents. If any of Subscriber’s Agents are later determined to have been common-law employees or other employees of Instinet for any purpose, such individual(s) nevertheless shall not be entitled to participate or receive benefits under any Benefit Plan of Instinet or any of its Affiliates. Subscriber acknowledges that no insurance whatsoever, including worker’s compensation insurance, has been or will be obtained by Instinet on Subscriber’s behalf. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, however, in no event shall anything in this Agreement affect any rights that any Subscriber Agent who is or formerly was an employee of Instinet or any of its Affiliates may have as a result of his or her previous employment by Instinet or any of its Affiliates, including with respect to any Benefit Plans of Instinet or any of its Affiliates.

2.2.9 Investigations. Instinet agrees to reasonably cooperate with any reasonable investigation by or on behalf of Subscriber or its insurers relating to any loss, damage, destruction or unauthorized use of any of the Subscriber Systems during the Term. Instinet further agrees to reasonably cooperate with Subscriber in any litigation or prosecution against a third party arising in connection with any loss, damage, destruction or unauthorized use of any of the Subscriber Systems during the Term.

(b) Subject to Section 4.1.2(a), each party may copy and distribute to such of its employees and contractors as are reasonably necessary to fulfill its obligations or to exercise its rights hereunder, the Confidential Information of the other party; provided that each party agrees not to make (or permit any Recipient of such party to make) more copies or distributions of any Confidential Information of the other party than shall be reasonably necessary in connection with its permitted use thereof. Disclosure of any Confidential Information shall not be deemed to represent an assignment or grant of any right, title or interest in such Confidential Information.

4.1.3 Exclusions.

(a) Confidential Information of a party shall exclude information that the receiving party can demonstrate: (i) is independently developed or conceived by the receiving party after the date of this Agreement without reference to or use of any Confidential Information of the other party; (ii) becomes known to the receiving party, without restriction, from a third party who the receiving party reasonably believes, after due inquiry, has the right to so disclose it; or (iii) was generally known or available to the public at the time it was disclosed or at a later time through no act or omission of the receiving party or any other Person who the receiving party reasonably believes, after due inquiry, had an obligation to keep such information confidential.

(b) The restrictions set forth in Section 4.1.2(a)(i) shall not apply to Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed by either party pursuant to an order or requirement of any Authority; provided, however, that such party shall provide prompt prior notice thereof to the other party describing in reasonable detail such requirement and all Confidential Information of the other party required to be so disclosed, and shall use reasonable efforts and cooperate with the other party at the other party’s expense to obtain a protective order or otherwise seek to prevent disclosure of such Confidential Information.

4.1.4 Confidentiality of Agreement. Each party agrees that the terms of, but not the existence of, this Agreement and any negotiations with respect to the same (collectively, the “Agreement Confidential Information”) shall be maintained as confidential and that such party shall not, unless agreed to in writing by the other party, disclose or reveal, directly or indirectly, any of such Agreement Confidential Information to any Person except (i)(x) to the party’s or its Affiliates’ respective officers, directors, members, partners, managers, employees, attorneys or other professional advisors, or (y) to any actual or potential investor in, or purchaser of, such party, to any actual or potential banks or other financing sources of such party, and to their respective attorneys or other professional advisors; but in each case only to the extent that such Persons have a reasonable need to know the same for purposes of such relationship and agree to maintain the confidentiality of the same, or (ii) to the limited extent necessary to enforce its rights, or perform its obligations, under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 4.1.4 shall not, however, (i) prohibit any party from disclosing to any Person the fact that Instinet is providing certain Co-Location services to Subscriber, without further detail, or (ii) prohibit any party from disclosing any Agreement Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is required by Applicable Law, so long as the party seeking to disclose the same shall first have given prompt prior notice thereof to the other party describing in reasonable detail such requirement and all Agreement Confidential Information required to be so disclosed, and reasonably cooperates with the other party in its efforts, if any, to prevent or limit any such disclosure.

4.1.5 Cooperation. Each party agrees that, either upon learning of, or upon a showing by the other party of, any threatened or actual breach of the provisions of this Article 4 or of any threatened or actual unauthorized use or disclosure of all or any portion of the Confidential Information of the other party (or all or any portion of any Agreement Confidential Information) by any Recipient or any Person to whom such party or any Recipient of such party made available such Confidential Information or Agreement Confidential Information, or in the event of any loss of, or inability to account for, any of such Confidential Information or Agreement Confidential Information or any such information or materials, such party shall, without limitation of any liability that such party may have hereunder with respect to such threatened or actual breach or such unauthorized use or disclosure, loss or inability to account, give notice thereof to the other party and shall cooperate as reasonably requested by the other party in conjunction with the other party’s efforts, if any, to seek appropriate injunctive relief or otherwise to prevent or curtail such threatened or actual breach or unauthorized use or disclosure, loss or inability to account or to recover such Confidential Information or Agreement Confidential Information.

4.1.6 Restrictions on Disclosure. Each party agrees that, to the extent it is permitted to disclose Confidential Information of the other party (or any Agreement Confidential Information) to any other Person (other than pursuant to Section 4.1.3(b), or the last sentence of Section 4.1.4), it shall do so pursuant to a written non-disclosure agreement containing terms at least as protective of Confidential Information and Agreement Confidential Information as those set forth in this Article 4 (but with no further rights of disclosure and no rights of use on their own behalf).

4.1.7 Legends. Each party agrees that it will not remove, alter, deface or obscure any legends, notices, identifications or evidence of confidentiality, ownership, copyright, trademark or other proprietary or intellectual property rights, or any disclaimers of warranties, limitations of damages, or similar provisions, contained on or included in any of the Confidential Information of the other party, nor will such party allow any of its Recipients to do so. Each party shall (and shall cause its recipients to) reproduce any such legend, notice, identification, evidence, disclaimer or similar provision on any reproduction or modification of any of the Confidential Information of the other party and shall promptly add (or remove) any such legend, notice, identification, evidence, disclaimer or similar provision to the Confidential Information of the other party as the other party may reasonably request from time to time.

4.1.8 Return. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, upon request, each party promptly shall return to the other party all Confidential Information of the other party, including all copies of any thereof, under the possession or control of such party or any of its Recipients, or destroy or purge (or cause to be destroyed or purged) all systems and files of any such Person of any such Confidential Information. Upon request, each party shall promptly certify to the other party its compliance with this Section 4.1.8.

5. SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS.

5.1 Service Level Agreements. In addition to the terms set forth in this Agreement, Instinet shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the Services in accordance with the Service Level Agreements. In the event of any material failure by Instinet to perform the services in accordance with the Service Level Agreement Subscriber shall have a credit in the amount equal to the pro rata amounts paid or payable by Subscriber for the duration of any non-compliance with the Service Level Agreements, which Subscriber may apply against payment of the fees and charges payable by the Subscriber to Instinet in a subsequent calendar month; provided that such credit shall not exceed the amount paid or payable by Subscriber to Instinet during the period or periods in which the Service Level Agreements were not met and provided further, that in the event that this Agreement expires or terminates, Instinet shall pay an amount equal to any unused credits to Subscriber within ten (10) days after such termination or expiration. Subscriber agrees that such service level credits shall constitute the sole and complete remedy for Subscriber with respect to the corresponding failures by Instinet to perform the Services in accordance with the Service Level Agreements; provided, that (i) nothing herein shall impair Subscriber’s rights to terminate this Agreement in accordance with its terms, whether pursuant to failure to perform in accordance with the Service Level Agreements or otherwise, and (ii) nothing herein shall affect Instinet’s liability under Section 2.2.7, or any remedies of Subscriber with respect to the same.

5.2 Effect of Failure to Perform to Service Level Agreements.

5.2.1 Liquidated Damages. The parties acknowledge and agree that, because of the unique nature of the Services contemplated by this Agreement, it is difficult or impossible to determine with precision the specific amount of damages that might be incurred by Subscriber as a result of a failure of Instinet to meet the Service Level Agreements. It is further understood and agreed by the parties that Subscriber shall be damaged by such failure of Instinet to meet the Service Level Agreements, that it

would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages resulting therefrom, that any credits that become payable under Section 5.1 are in the nature of liquidated damages, and not penalties, and are fair and reasonable under the circumstances, and that such payments represent a reasonable estimate of fair compensation for the losses that may reasonably be anticipated from Instinet’s failure to meet the Service Level Agreements; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.2.1 shall affect Subscriber’s rights under the last sentence of Section 5.1.

6. ACCESS AND SECURITY.

6.1 Data Center Access. Except with the advance written consent of Instinet and Subscriber, Subscriber’s access to the Data Center shall be limited solely to the Representatives. Subscriber and its Representatives shall cooperate with and comply with all reasonable and published security and safety measures provided to Subscriber by Instinet from time to time, including the use of entry and exit logs and agreements, key cards, voice, photo, biometric or other personal identification recognition devices, and other mechanisms and devices for registering, tracking, and limiting access to the Data Center. The Representatives will comply with all Applicable Laws, with the standards and practices of the telecommunications industry and with all of Instinet’s reasonable and published security procedures, rules, requirements and safety practices provided in writing to Subscriber from time to time. Instinet reserves the right to revoke the entry privileges of any Representative at any time if the exercise of such right is reasonable, and Instinet shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Subscriber in advance of any such determination and to reasonably cooperate with Subscriber in an effort to remedy such situation and/or allow access by one or more replacement Representatives.

6.2 Relocation of Subscriber Systems. Instinet reserves the right to relocate the Subscriber Systems or the Subscriber Cabinet to another area of the Data Center or to another facility (in each case provided that such other area or facility meets the requirements of Sections 2.2.1, 2.2.2, 2.2.3 and 2.2.4 of this Agreement) upon one hundred and twenty (120) days’ prior written notice to Subscriber. Instinet shall be solely responsible for any costs and expenses incurred by Subscriber and Instinet in connection with any such relocation (except for any such relocation requested by Subscriber) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts, in cooperation with Subscriber, to minimize any interruption of the Services in connection with any such relocation.

6.3 Scheduled and Emergency Maintenance. Instinet shall conduct routine scheduled maintenance of the Data Center according to the annual maintenance schedule for the Data Center, which shall be provided to Subscriber prior to or on the Effective Date. In the event of any change to the routine scheduled maintenance, Instinet shall notify Subscriber thereof no less than five (5) days prior to the revised date for such scheduled maintenance. In the event that an urgent, mission-critical maintenance situation arises, Instinet shall immediately notify Subscriber if it will affect any portion of the Subscriber Cabinet or any of the Subscriber Systems. Any such emergency maintenance, not caused by the actions or omissions of Instinet, shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. During such scheduled and emergency maintenance periods, Instinet shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interruption to performance of the Services. Subscriber agrees to reasonably cooperate with Instinet during scheduled and emergency maintenance periods.

7. INSURANCE.

7.1 Instinet Minimum Insurance Levels. Each party agrees to keep in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement (a) a broad form Commercial General Liability Insurance policy providing for coverage of at least one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence, subject to an aggregate cap of two million dollars ($2,000,000.00), for bodily injury and property damage. In addition, Subscriber agrees to keep in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement a Worker’s

Compensation Insurance policy in an amount not less than that required by Applicable Law and Instinet agrees to keep in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement a Worker’s Compensation Insurance policy consistent with the policy that Instinet maintains for its employees generally. Such policies (i) shall be written on an “occurrence” policy form and not on a “claims made” form; (ii) shall be primary and not contributory with the other party’s liability insurance, if any; (iii) shall provide for not less than thirty (30) days advance written notice to the other party from the insurer or insurers, if more than one, of any cancellation, nonrenewal, or material change in coverage or available limits of liability; and (iv) shall be issued by an insurance company with a rating of no less than A-V in the current Best’s Insurance Guide, or otherwise be acceptable to the other party, and admitted to engage in the business of insurance in the state in which the Services are actually provided. Each party’s Commercial General Liability Insurance coverage may be provided by a combination of primary, excess, and umbrella policies, provided that those policies are concurrent in all respects regarding the coverage afforded by the policies. The coverage of any excess or umbrella policy must be at least as broad as the coverage of the primary policy.

7.2 Certificates of Insurance. Each party shall (a) deliver to the other party certificates of insurance which evidence the minimum levels of insurance set forth Section 7.1 above; and (b) cause its insurance provider(s) to name the other party as an additional insured and to notify the other party in writing of the effective date of such coverage. Each party shall deliver the certificates of insurance required by this Section 7.2 to the other party within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date; again at least ten (10) days before the expiration date of any applicable policy; and again on renewal of any applicable policy.

7.3 Obligations Continue Regardless of Insurance. The insurance requirements set forth in this Article 7 are independent of each party’s indemnification and other obligations under this Agreement and shall not be construed or interpreted in any way to restrict, limit or modify each party’s indemnification and other obligations or to limit each party’s liability under this Agreement.

7.4 Waiver of Subrogation Rights. Each party agrees to cause the insurance companies issuing its insurance policies to waive any subrogation rights that those insurance companies may have against the other party, or its insurers, by way of contract or otherwise.

8. INDEMNIFICATION.

8.1 Indemnification. Subscriber, at its sole expense, hereby agrees to be liable for and to indemnify, hold harmless and (at the election of Instinet) defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Instinet) Instinet, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, members, partners, employees, agents and representatives, from and against any and all debts, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Losses”), to the extent arising out of or in any way related to, in whole or in part, in connection with: (i) any infringement or misappropriation of any intellectual property or proprietary rights arising out of the Subscriber Systems (but without limitation of any indemnification obligations that Instinet may have with respect to the same under the Asset Purchase Agreement); (ii) any personal injury or tangible property damage to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Subscriber; (iii) any third-party’s alleged ownership or possessory interest, lien, trust, pledge, or security interest in the Subscriber Systems, including any attempt by such third party to take possession of the Subscriber Systems, except where caused by Instinet or any person under Instinet’s direction or control (but without limitation of any indemnification obligations that Instinet may have with respect to the same under the Asset Purchase Agreement); or (iv) Subscriber’s or its Representatives’ fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct; in each case other than for Losses resulting from Instinet’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Instinet shall notify Subscriber of any matter with respect to which Instinet or any other Person indemnified hereunder is entitled to seek

indemnification from Instinet under this Section promptly after Instinet becomes aware of such matter; provided, however, that any failure to give prompt notice of such matter shall not relieve Subscriber from any of its liabilities or obligations hereunder with respect to such matter unless (and then only to the extent that) such failure materially and adversely affects the ability of Subscriber to indemnify against (or if applicable, defend) any claim or action arising out of such matter. In the event that Instinet requests that Subscriber defend Instinet or any other Person indemnified under this Section with respect to any indemnified matter, Instinet or any such other Person indemnified hereunder shall nevertheless have the right to participate in the defense with counsel of its own choice (with such counsel’s fees and expenses incurred after the date Subscriber initiates the defense to be paid by such indemnified Person unless (i) in Instinet’s reasonable judgment, it is advisable in light of the separate interests of Instinet and Subscriber for Instinet or such other indemnified Person to be represented by separate counsel or (ii) Subscriber shall not have employed counsel to defend Instinet or such other indemnified Person within a reasonable time or fails to do so until the matter is resolved; in either such case, the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by Subscriber) and to approve in writing (not to be unreasonably withheld or conditioned) any settlement or compromise or any consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each indemnified Person of a release, reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified Person, from all liability in respect of such matter and there shall be no other terms and conditions as part of such settlement, compromise, or consent to judgment which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect any such indemnified Person. To the extent requested by Subscriber, Instinet agrees to reasonably cooperate with Subscriber and its counsel in connection with any such matter, provided that Subscriber shall reimburse Instinet for any expenses associated with the same. Each of Instinet and Subscriber shall use reasonable efforts to keep the other party informed at all times as to the status of its efforts with respect to any matter covered hereby and to consult with the other party concerning its efforts.

9. TERMS AND TERMINATION.

9.1 Term. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, shall continue until the later of one (1) year after the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”) and the expiration of any Renewal Term.

Upon termination of this Agreement under this Section 9.2.2, Subscriber shall be obligated to pay no more than the amounts owing to Instinet for Services satisfactorily performed up to the effective date of termination, and if fees or costs are calculated on a monthly, quarterly or other periodic basis, then Subscriber shall only liable for the pro rata portion thereof up to the effective date of termination.

Each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally agrees (i) to be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and of the federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware, (ii) that, to the extent such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, it will appoint (and maintain an agreement with respect to) an agent in the State of Delaware as such party’s agent for acceptance of legal process (provided that any obligation under this clause (ii) shall terminate six (6) years after the First Closing), (iii) that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, service of process may also be made on such party by prepaid certified mail with a validated proof of mailing receipt constituting evidence of valid service, and (iv) that service made pursuant to (ii) or (iii) above shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, have the same legal force and effect as if served upon such Party personally within the State of Delaware. Each party irrevocably agrees for the exclusive benefit of the other that the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”) shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine or settle any dispute which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement and that accordingly any suit, action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement may be brought in the Chosen Courts.

(b) Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection to the venue of the courts designated in this Section 12.4 (whether on the basis of forum non conveniens or otherwise), and accepts and submits to the jurisdiction of such courts in connection with any legal action or proceeding against it arising out of or concerning this Agreement.

12.5 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or under any circumstances, shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent under Applicable Law, and the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability does not cause substantial deviation from the underlying intent of the parties as expressed in this Agreement, then such provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement with respect to such Person or circumstances, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances, and a new provision shall be deemed to be substituted in lieu of the provision so severed, which new provision shall, to the extent possible, accomplish the intent of the parties hereto as evidenced by the provision so severed.

12.6 Assignment. Neither party may assign, transfer, subcontract or otherwise dispose of this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any Person without the prior written consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned; provided that Instinet may assign this Agreement to an Affiliate or successor without Subscriber’s prior written consent. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns (if any). Nothing herein shall limit Instinet’s right to subcontract any of its obligations hereunder; provided that Instinet shall notify Subscriber if its subcontracts any of its obligations hereunder to any third party, stating the identity of the subcontractor and the obligations so subcontracted.

This Agreement represents the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any prior understanding, agreement or statement (written or oral) of intent between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement. Any attachments, exhibits or schedules to this Agreement shall constitute an integral part of this Agreement.

12.10 Waiver; Amendment; Certain Notices. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by any party therefrom, shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the party to be charged with the waiver or consent. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. This Agreement may only be amended by written agreement executed by each of the parties hereto. No notice to or demand on any party in any case shall entitle that party, or any other party, to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

12.11 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to any schedule, exhibit or appendix, such reference shall be to a schedule, exhibit or appendix to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Each instance in this Agreement of the words “include,” “includes,” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” As used in this Agreement, the term “days”“ means calendar days, not business days, unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise specified, the words “herein,” “hereof,” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular article, section, paragraph, subparagraph, schedule, exhibit, addendum or other subdivision. Similarly, unless otherwise specified, the words “therein,” “thereof” and “thereunder” and other words of similar import refer to a particular agreement or other instrument as a whole and not to any particular article, section, paragraph, subparagraph, schedule, exhibit, addendum or other subdivision. Unless otherwise specified, any reference to articles, sections or clauses are to articles, sections or clauses of this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified, references to any document or agreement, including this Agreement, shall be deemed to include references to such document or agreement as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time in accordance with its terms and (where applicable) subject to compliance with the requirements set forth therein. Unless otherwise specified, references to any party to this Agreement or any other document or agreement shall include the heirs, successors and permitted assigns of such party. Unless otherwise specified, any reference to a statute includes and refers to the statute itself, as well as to any rules and regulations made and duly promulgated pursuant thereto, and all amendments made thereto and in force currently from time to time and any statutes, rules or regulations thereafter duly made, enacted and/or promulgated, as may be appropriate, and/or any other governmental actions thereafter duly taken from time to time having the effect of supplementing or superseding such statute, rules, and/or regulations. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall be in all cases construed according to its plain meaning and not strictly for or against one or more of the parties hereto. Any table of contents or headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. When required by the context, (i) whenever the singular number is used in this Agreement, the same shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular; and (ii) the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders and vice versa. Unless the context requires otherwise, derivative forms of any capitalized term defined in this Agreement shall have the comparable meaning to that of such term.

12.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Execution and delivery of this Agreement by exchange of facsimile copies bearing the facsimile signature of a party hereto shall constitute a valid and binding execution and delivery of this Agreement by such party. Such facsimile copies shall constitute enforceable original documents.

12.13 Usury Laws. The parties agree that it is their intent to comply with any applicable usury laws and that in no case shall the amount of interest charged or collected by either party hereunder exceed the highest percentage allowed by Applicable Law.

12.14 Force Majeure.

12.14.1 If a party is prevented, hindered or delayed from or in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement (other than a failure to comply with payment obligations) by a Force Majeure Event, then (i) its obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended for so long as the Force Majeure Event continues and to the extent that it is so prevented, hindered or delayed, (ii) as soon as reasonably possible after commencement of the Force Majeure Event it shall give notice in writing to the other party of the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event, the date of commencement of the Force Majeure Event and the effects of the Force Majeure Event on its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and (iii) as soon as reasonably possible after the cessation of the Force Majeure Event it shall give notice in writing of the cessation of the Force Majeure Event and shall resume performance of all of its obligations under this Agreement.

12.14.2 If the Subscriber Cabinet is damaged due to a Force Majeure Event, Instinet shall give prompt notice to Subscriber of such damage, and may temporarily relocate the Subscriber Systems to a new Subscriber Cabinet or a new Data Center, if practicable and if such new cabinet or new Data Center satisfies the requirements of Sections 2.2.1, 2.2.2, 2.2.3 and 2.2.4. If the Data Center’s landlord or Instinet exercises an option to terminate a particular lease due to damage or destruction of the Subscriber Cabinet, or if Instinet decides not to rebuild the Data Center but to provide similar co-location services at another location, this Agreement will terminate as of the date of the Force Majeure Event; provided that if Instinet provides similar co-location services at another location following such damage or destruction, Subscriber shall have the option to have the Services provided by Instinet to Subscriber out of such new location on substantially the same terms and conditions as under this Agreement, subject to price adjustments to reflect changes in costs relating to such new location, in Instinet’s sole discretion. If neither the landlord of the Data Center nor Instinet exercises such right to terminate, Instinet will repair the Subscriber Cabinet to substantially the same condition it was in prior to the damage, completing the same within a commercially reasonable time period. In the event that Instinet fails to complete the repair within a commercially reasonable time period, Subscriber will have the option to terminate this Agreement, which option will be the sole remedy available to Subscriber against Instinet under this Agreement relating to such failure. If the Subscriber Cabinet or any portion thereof is rendered untenable by reason of such damage and the Subscriber Systems are not relocated to a new Subscriber Cabinet or Data Center, the service charges will proportionately xxxxx for the period from the date of such damage to the date when such damage is repaired.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement to be effective as of the Effective Date.
