	3.3

	4.2
	The Licensee or CME Indexes may terminate this Agreement with respect to any one or more specific Indexes (but not the Agreement in its entirety) upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to the other (or such lesser period of time as may be necessary pursuant to law, rule, regulation or court order) if (i) any legislation or regulation is finally adopted or any government interpretation is issued that prevents the Licensee from listing, offering for trading, marketing or promoting such Product; (ii) any material litigation or material regulatory proceeding regarding a Product based on such a Licensed Index is commenced and such party reasonably believes that such litigation or regulatory proceeding is reasonably likely to have a material and adverse effect on the good name or reputation of such party.   Licensee reserves the right to de-list any Product based on a Licensed Index at any time; provided, however, any such delisting shall not give rise to a termination right with respect to this Agreement.  The parties to this Agreement agree that the pending litigation between CBOE, S&P, CME Indexes and the 

8

International Securities Exchange (the “ISE Litigation”), would not trigger a right to terminate under this section 4.2. 

		
	4.3
	CME Indexes may terminate this Agreement upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to the Licensee (or such lesser period of time as may be  necessary pursuant to law, rule, regulation or court order) if any legislation or regulation is finally adopted or any government interpretation is issued that in CME Indexes’ reasonable judgment materially impairs CME Indexes’ ability to license and provide the Licensed Indexes or the CME Indexes Marks under this Agreement; 

		
	4.4
	CME Indexes may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Licensee if any securities exchange or other source ceases to provide data to CME Indexes necessary for providing all of the Licensed Indexes, terminates CME Indexes’ right to receive data in the form of a “feed” from such securities exchange or other source, materially restricts CME Indexes right to redistribute data received from such securities exchange or other source, or institutes charges of a type or to an extent applicable to CME Indexes (and not to others generally) for the provision of data to CME Indexes or the redistribution of data by CME Indexes.  If such cessation restricts CME Indexes’ ability to meet its obligations of only a subset of the Licensed Indexes, then CME Indexes’ right to terminate under this Section 4.4 shall apply only to such subset of the Licensed Indexes and not the Agreement in its entirety. 

		
	4.5
	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that there shall occur any change in law (statutory law, case law or otherwise) relating to or affecting the liability of index providers to third parties, and CME Indexes thereafter ceases to engage in the business of providing real-time data with respect to indexes or licensing real-time indexes as the basis of Products, CME Indexes shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Licensee. 

		
	4.6
	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, CME Indexes shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to cease compiling, calculating and publishing values of any one or more of the Licensed Indexes, and to terminate this Agreement with respect only to such Indexes, at any time that CME Indexes determines such Indexes no longer meet or will not be capable of meeting the criteria established by CME Indexes for maintaining such Indexes (and in such event CME Indexes will use all reasonable efforts to provide Licensee as much prior notice as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances).

		
	4.7
	In the event either the Licensee or CME Indexes shall give proper notice of termination pursuant to this Section 4 (but excluding Section 4.6), any Pending Products may continue to be traded to the expiration date thereof, and (i) to the extent necessary for such purpose, the license granted in Article II, Sections 1.1-1.3 and CME Indexes’ obligations under Article II, Sections 5.2 and 7, and (ii) the Licensee’s obligations under Article II, Sections 6, 7, 8.2 shall be deemed to continue until the expiration date of the last of such

Pending Products. Upon receipt of any Notice of termination of the calculation or dissemination of a Licensed Index by CME Indexes, Licensee may also elect, by written Notice to CME Indexes, for Licensee to redesignate such Index and applicable Products based thereon as Licensee's index (a "Substitute Index") and continue to trade such Products based upon such Substitute Index ("Licensee Substitute Products"), except that, from the time of receipt of such Notice of election, such Substitute Index shall be described in a manner to clearly differentiate it from the applicable Index.

After such election, Licensee may promote Licensee Substitute Products based upon the Substitute Index provided that the CME Indexes Marks are not utilized by Licensee in such promotion and Licensee prominently disclaims any relationship with CME Indexes in respect of the Substitute Index or Licensee Substitute Products. Upon Licensee's written request pursuant to this Section 7.4, CME Indexes shall, for the purpose of facilitating Licensee's compilation and use of its own Substitute Index, provide Licensee, on a confidential basis, a one-time, comprehensive disclosure of the information and methodologies necessary for calculating the relevant Index, including without limitation a current and accurate list of the companies, shares outstanding and divisors for the Index in question, and CME Indexes hereby grants Licensee a non-exclusive and royalty-free license to use any proprietary information so disclosed for purposes relating to the Substitute Index. 

		
	4.8
	Notwithstanding the above, in the event of a termination by CME Indexes under Section 4.1 by reason of any breach by the Licensee relating to its obligations under this Agreement with respect to CME Indexes’ Intellectual Property, Section 6.7 shall continue to apply to the Licensee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a termination by reason of discontinuance of any Licensed Index under Sections 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6, CME Indexes shall, at the time the notice of termination is provided to the Licensee, provide to the Licensee a non-exclusive, perpetual and royalty-free license effective as of the date of the discontinuance and a list of companies, shares outstanding and divisors for the terminated Licensed Index as of the date of discontinuance. The Licensee shall not thereafter make any reference to the CME Indexes Marks in respect of the discontinued Licensed Index (except as provided in the next sentence) and CME Indexes shall have no further obligations to the Licensee with respect to the discontinued Licensed Index, or any Product based thereon, after furnishing the Licensee with the aforesaid information. In any such event, the Licensee shall redesignate the Licensed Index and the applicable Products based thereon without the use of any of the CME Indexes Marks and may continue to list for trading, trade or clear Pending Products as if no notice of termination had been received, except that, until termination of the license, such index shall be described as the “_____ Index” formerly “Dow Jones _______ Index”. Thereafter, upon termination of the license, the Licensee may promote, market, list, trade clear indexed products based upon the securities index designated by the
