SECTION 5:TERM AND TERMINATION

5.1	This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date, and shall continue for the Term

Term, this Agreement shall automatically be extended for consecutive one-year periods at the end
of each one-year Term.

5.2	If either party shall default in the performance of, or compliance with, any provision
contained in this Agreement, and such default shall not have been cured within thirty (30) days
after written notice thereof shall have been given to the appropriate party, the party giving such
notice may then give further written notice which shall terminate this Agreement, in which event,
this Agreement and License granted hereunder, shall terminate; and the License granted
hereunder, shall terminate on the date specified in such further notice.  ZACKS reserves the right
to terminate Licensee's access to or use of any Information, or take other actions it reasonably
believes necessary to comply with the law and this Agreement. 

5.3	Either party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other and may regard
the other party as in default of this Agreement, if the other party becomes insolvent, makes a
general assignment for the benefit of creditors, files a voluntary petition of bankruptcy, suffers or
permits the appointment of a receiver for its business or assets, or becomes subject to any
proceedings under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, whether domestic or foreign, or has wound
up or liquidated, voluntarily or otherwise.  In the event that any of the above events occurs, the
party directly involved in the event(s) listed above shall immediately notify the other party of its
occurrence.

  5.4	Upon Termination of this Agreement by Licensee or ZACKS, Licensee will immediately
delete all files and data items (listed in Schedule A), transferred from ZACKS, and/or files and data
items which were derived from such transferred files, that are stored on Licensee's servers or in
any databases or systems owned by Licensee or under Licensee control, or under the control of
any contractor, service bureau, general or limited partner or agent, whose control and/or
possession of said data derives from an association or relationship with Licensee.  No ZACKS'
data in any form shall remain in the possession of Licensee or any contractors, service bureaus,
general or limited partners or agents, whose control and/or possession of said data derives from
an association or relationship with Licensee, after this Agreement has been terminated.
Notwithstanding the termination or expiration of this Agreement, the applicable rights and
obligations in Sections 2.3, 2.4, 3.1, 4, 5 and 8 through 12, shall survive termination or expiration
of this Agreement.

that use the other party's names, logos, trademarks or service marks or refer to the other party
with regard to the execution or performance of this Agreement, without the prior consent of the
other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  If within ten (10) days after delivery of

SECTION 10:INDEMNITY

10.1	Indemnification by ZACKS. 

 	(a)	If a third party claims that the Information infringes that party's patent, copyright or
trademark or misappropriates that party's trade secret or other intellectual property right, ZACKS

reasonable attorney's fees that a court finally awards, provided that Licensee: (i) promptly notifies
ZACKS in writing of the claim; (ii) allows ZACKS to control, and cooperates with ZACKS in the
defense thereof and any related settlement negotiations; and (iii) in no event shall Licensee agree
to, or authorize settlement of, any such claim without ZACKS' prior written agreement.

	(b)	If such claim is made or appears likely to be made, ZACKS, in its sole discretion,
may elect:  (i) to procure for Licensee the right to continue use of the Information; (ii) to replace, at
ZACKS' cost, the Information, or any portion thereof, with a substitute product that functions

(iv) to terminate this Agreement and to pay to Licensee a refund of any fees Licensee paid for the
subscription to use the Information for the remaining portion of the current Term.  This is ZACKS'

or equipment not specified by ZACKS.

10.2	Indemnification by Licensee.  Licensee hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold ZACKS and
its affiliates, and its and their successors and assigns, and its and their directors, officers and
employees ("Licensee Indemnitees") harmless against any and all penalties, damages, costs,

SECTION 11:CONFIDENTIALITY

11.1	The parties acknowledge that in the course of their dealings hereunder, each may acquire
information about the other, its business activities and operations, its technical information and its
trade secrets, all of which are proprietary and confidential (the "Confidential Information").  Both
parties agree that the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information of each
party. 

 11.2	Each party hereby agrees that:  (a) all Confidential Information shall remain the exclusive
property of the owner; (b) such party shall maintain, and shall use prudent methods to cause its
employees and agents to maintain, the confidentiality and secrecy of the other's Confidential
Information; (c) such party shall use prudent methods to ensure that its employees and agents do
not copy, publish, disclose to others or use (other than pursuant to the terms hereof) the other's
Confidential Information; and (d) such party shall return or destroy all copies of other's Confidential
Information upon request of the other party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential
Information shall not include any information to the extent it:  (i) is or becomes a part of the public
domain through no act or omission on the part of the receiving party; (ii) is disclosed to third parties
by the disclosing party without restriction on such third parties; (iii) is in the receiving party's
possession, without actual or constructive knowledge of an obligation of confidentiality with respect
thereto, at or prior to the time of disclosure under this Agreement; (iv) is disclosed to the receiving
party by a third party having no obligation of confidentiality with respect thereto; (v) is
independently developed by the receiving party without reference to the disclosing party's
Confidential Information; or (vi) is released from confidential treatment by written consent of the
disclosing party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, portions of a parties' Confidential Information may
be disclosed pursuant to the request of a governmental agency or third party if such disclosure is
required by operation of law, regulation or court order, provided the receiving party gives the
disclosing party prior written notice of such proposed disclosure sufficient to enable the disclosing
party to obtain an appropriate protective order, if it so desires. 

SECTION 12:MISCELLANEOUS

12.1	Notices.  All notices, requests and other communications under this Agreement shall be in
writing and be delivered in person, or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, overnight
courier service, or by facsimile to the address or facsimile number of the party set forth in the

date it is officially recorded as delivered by return receipt or equivalent or by facsimile confirmation
date.

12.2	Entire Agreement; Amendment.  This Agreement, together with any appendices or other
attachments hereto, sets forth the entire understanding between the parties and supersedes any
and all oral or written agreements or understandings between the parties as to the subject matter

This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the undersigned parties and
their respective successors and permitted assigns. 

12.3	Assignment.  Licensee's benefits and obligations in this Agreement shall not be assigned
(including assignment to a parent, subsidiary or fellow subsidiary company of Licensee, any
change of control of Licensee or assignment by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior
written consent of ZACKS.  ZACKS may assign the benefits and obligations of this Agreement.
This Agreement shall apply to, inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon the parties hereto and
upon their permitted successors in interest and permitted assigns.

12.4	Third Party Beneficiaries.  The parties acknowledge that there are no intended third party
beneficiaries of this Agreement.

  12.5	Force Majeure.  In no event shall either party be liable to the other for any delay or failure to
perform hereunder, which delay or failure to perform is due to causes beyond the control of said
party including, but not limited to, government restrictions, exchange or market rulings, labor strike,
war, act of civil or military authority, sabotage, epidemic, flood, earthquake, fire, other natural
disaster or any other event, condition or occurrence beyond the reasonable control of such party.

12.6	Waiver.  The failure of either party at any time to require performance by the other party of
any provision hereof shall in no way affect the full right to require such performance at any time
thereafter, nor shall the waiver by either party of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held
to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of such provision or as a waiver of the provision itself.

12.7	Separability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or
circumstances shall to any extent be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the
Agreement, or the application of such provisions to persons or circumstances as to which it is not
held to be invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision shall be valid
and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

12.8	Relationship of the Parties.  This Agreement does not and shall not be deemed to
constitute a partnership or joint venture between the parties and neither party nor any of their
respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall, by virtue of the performance of their
obligations under this Agreement, be deemed to be an agent or employee of the other.

12.9	Injunctive Relief.  Licensee acknowledges that ZACKS' legal remedies (including the
payment of damages) would not adequately compensate ZACKS for any breach by Licensee of
any provisions of this Agreement regarding the ownership, use, copying, distribution, confidentiality
or nondisclosure of the Information or ZACKS' Confidential Information, and that ZACKS would
suffer continuing and irreparable injury to its business as a direct result of such breach.  Therefore,
in the event of any such breach, Licensee consents to entry of any injunctive relief necessary to
prevent or cure such breach (including temporary and preliminary relief, and relief by order of
specific performance), without posting of bond or other security or proof of irreparable harm.

12.10	Governing Law; Place For Disputes.  Licensee may not bring legal action under this
Agreement more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose.  All disputes arising out of this
Agreement or the performance thereof shall be determined exclusively under the laws of the State
of Illinois without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.  In the event of any legal proceedings
arising out of this Agreement or the performance thereof, Licensee agrees and consents to the
exercise of personal jurisdiction over Licensee by any state or federal court of law or equity located
in Cook County, Illinois, U.S.A.  Licensee shall not initiate any legal proceeding arising out of this
Agreement or the performance thereof in any jurisdiction other than in the state or federal courts
located in Cook County, Illinois.
