International Securities Exchange, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 60 Broad Street, New York, NY 10004 (“ISE”). OM Technology and ISE are hereinafter referred to collectively as the
“Parties” or individually as a “Party”. 
  
 W I T N E S S E T H : 
  
 WHEREAS, OM Technology and ISE have entered into a certain Delivery and License Agreement, dated as of March 1998, as amended in January 1999 (the “DLA”), and a certain Support Agreement, dated as of March 1998, as amended
(the “SA”), pursuant to which OM Technology provides to ISE with a license for, and support of, software systems; and 
  
 WHEREAS, in light of certain business and technical factors, the Parties desire to amend and supplement the DLA and the SA pursuant to which OM Technology
grants ISE a broadened license to trade certain instruments in the US, as well as the right to expand such license to additional instruments both within the US and outside the US, as set forth herein. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties contained herein, the Parties hereby agree to amend and supplement the DLA and the SA, and otherwise maintain the DLA and the SA unchanged (except as otherwise agreed to in writing) as follows: 
  
 ARTICLE I 
  
 Definitions 
  
 1.01 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the DLA or the SA, as the case may
be. The following capitalized terms, as used herein, shall have the meanings set forth below. 
  
 “Affiliate” shall mean any entity which, partially or completely, owns, is owned by or is under common ownership with a Party to this Addendum and which controls, is controlled by or is under common
control with a Party to this Addendum. For purposes of this definition, the term “control” including the correlative meanings of the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”, as used with respect to either
Party, shall be 

  

 1 

 
evidenced by ownership of at least 50% of the equity or voting securities of such entity. 
  
 “Cash” means any instrument that is not defined as a Derivatives instrument. 
  
 “Commodities” means a market for the trading of instruments
that represent a physical substance, such as food, grains, energy (oil, natural gas, electricity), and metals. 
  
 “Derivatives” mean any instrument that is a contract, agreement, or transaction that: 
  

	 	(a)	Provides, in whole or in part, on a firm or contingent basis, for the purchase or sale of, or is based on the value of, or any interest in, one or more commodities, securities,
currencies, interest or other rates, indices, quantitative measures, or other financial or economic interests or property of any kind; or 

  

	 	(b)	Involves any payment or delivery that is dependent on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event associated with a potential financial, economic, or commercial consequence; or

preferred stock, stock indexes, American Depository Receipts (ADRs), and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are all classified as equities cash instruments; common warrants are classified as equities derivatives instruments; and convertible bonds,
instruments that can be converted from bonds to stock, are classified equities cash instruments. 
  
 “Fixed Income” means a market for the trading of instruments that represent a security that pays an interest rate, such as a bond or
preferred stock. A bond may be issued by countries, states, cities, corporations and other organizations. However, since preferred stocks are traded primarily on

equities exchanges, preferred stock, in this agreement, is classified as an equities cash instrument. 
  
 “FX” means a market for the trading of instruments that
represent currency. 
  
 “Guaranteed Enhancement
Fee” shall mean the prepaid fee as set forth in Section 3.03(b) which shall be applied to, and used as payment for, the cost of hours to develop any agreed future enhancements under the SA within five (5) years from Effective Date pursuant

 “Standard Pricing Table” shall have the meaning set forth in Schedule 2.

 2.01 Schedule 1 to the DLA is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the Schedule 1 annexed hereto.

 (c) [***] 
  
 (d) [***] 
  
 3.04 Right to Expand Broadened License to Additional Instruments and Additional Regions. Under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 3.02, OM Technology, commencing on the Effective Date and continuing until the fifth (5th) anniversary of
the Effective Date, subject to payment of the fees set forth below, grants ISE, including any of its Affiliates as well as any third-party in which the ISE holds 25% or more of the equity, the right to expand the broadened license to use the

upon the Standard Pricing Table, subject to the [***]% ISE discount. OM Technology may not decrease the amount of the percentage discount. OM Technology may only change the Standard Pricing Table once every calendar year, however, not before 1
January 2004. OM Technology shall only use reasonable and motivated changes which shall not unreasonably exceed market conditions when changing OM Technology’s standard pricing tables, however, the prices may not be increased or decreased with
more than [***]% each calendar year. For clarification, the above [***] discount of the Standard Pricing Table will be 

  

	***	Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

  
 5 

 
valid from the Effective Date and until 5 years thereafter, and will only be applicable for ISE and its Affiliates and any third party in which the ISE holds
[***]% or more of the equity, however, if ISE controls at least [***]% but less than [***]% of the equity or voting securities of a third-party, the discount will be linearly reduced. For example, if ISE controls [***]% of a third-party, the
discount will be calculated to [***]% ([***]% * [***]%= [***]%). Control of less than [***]% will not qualify ISE for any discount. 
  
 ARTICLE IV

 ARTICLE 2 SCOPE AND
AIM OF THE SUPPORT AGREEMENT 
  
 2.01 This Agreement is intended
to replace, in its entirety, the current Support Agreement entered into by the Parties on March 18, 1998, as amended. Accordingly, at the Effective Date, this Agreement shall commence and the current Support Agreement shall terminate. Further, at
the Effective Date, the Parties acknowledge and agree that both Parties shall have fully-performed and satisfied all of their respective obligations under the current Support Agreement. 
  
 2.02 The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement shall be the basis for any agreement that shall govern all support to be
provided by OMT to ISE, including its Affiliates, in all markets, as and when operated by ISE; provided, however, if such market is operated either (i) using a different release of the Software Product or (ii) from a geographic region that cannot
reasonably be supported by OMT during Operational Support Hours, then the Parties shall agree to make any necessary amendments to this Agreement to cover such market. The Parties shall enter into a separate agreement to govern support to be provided
by OMT to any Joint Venture, which separate agreement shall contain payment terms based on Schedule 4 of this Agreement and which shall 

  

 7 

 
contain support undertakings substantially similar to the support undertakings set forth in this Agreement. 
  
 2.03 The scope and aim of this Agreement is for OMT to provide the ISE with a
high level of customer service and support with respect to the ISE’s use and operation of the Software Product to administer automated financial markets. The Parties acknowledge that this level of customer service and support is a critical
aspect of the ISE maintaining its competitive advantage. 
  
 2.04
In order to secure the future survival and competitiveness of the ISE, OMT shall, during the term of this Agreement, provide the ISE with certain support services and assistance in maintaining the Operating Capabilities of the Software Product, as
set forth herein. Furthermore, OMT shall, according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and as requested by the ISE, timely develop and deliver ISE Requested Releases and Corrective Releases (as applicable) to the Software Product.

  
 2.05 In order to secure future survival and competitiveness of
the Software Product in general, [***]. The ISE acknowledges that enhancements to the Software Product through Core Technology Development may require the ISE to make additional investments in the Production System. 
  
 2.06 The Parties acknowledge that, in order to fully-perform and satisfy
their respective obligations and achieve the scope and aim of this Agreement, their co-operation and exchange of knowledge and experience related to the development of the Software Product, the provision of support services, and the administration
of ISE Requested Releases, Corrective Releases, and New Releases is critical. Accordingly, both Parties undertake to, in good faith, cooperate and share information to the fullest extent contemplated under this Agreement. 
  
 2.07 Where a provision of this Agreement requires a Party to exercise its
discretion or judgment or to form an opinion, such Party shall reasonably exercise that discretion or judgment or form a reasonable opinion, having regard to generally accepted industry standards and practices prevailing at the time.
