SOFTWARE LICENSE AND SERVICES AGREEMENT
This is a Software License and Services Agreement ("this Agreement"), made as of November 1, between SHADOW FINANCIAL SERVICES CORP., a New Jersey corporation with an address at Raritan Plaza II, Edison, NJ 08837 ("Shadow"); and ARCHIPELAGO HOLDINGS, LLC with offices at 100 South Wacker Drive, Suite 2000, Chicago, IL 60606 ("Licensee").
1. LICENSE.
1.1. Shadow grants Licensee a fully-paid, perpetual, royalty-free, nonexclusive enterprise-wide license to use one production copy of the Licensed Software within the Territory. The Licensed Software shall be installed and operated on not more than one server, plus one or more backup or remote servers intended to provide redundant backup capability in the event of failure or scheduled maintenance or other downtime involving the designated server.
1.2. Licensee shall use the Licensed Software solely for Licensee's own internal operations, and shall not sublicense, rent or otherwise permit anyone other than Licensee's own authorized personnel including but not limited to Licensee's employees and agents to use or have access to the Licensed Software, whether by timesharing, networking or any other means.
1.3. Promptly upon execution of this Agreement, Shadow shall install the Licensed Software on Licensee's server and shall provide Licensee with a back-up copy of the Licensed Software, in machine-readable format, on magnetic or other appropriate media. Licensee shall be entitled to make a reasonable number of copies of the Licensed Software solely for Licensee's internal use for archival or backup purposes.
1.4. Within thirty (30) business days of execution and effective date of this Agreement, Shadow agrees to deposit with an escrow agent, mutually agreed upon between Shadow and Licensee (the "Escrow Agent") an Escrow Copy of the Licensed Software. Licensee shall be responsible for all escrow fees. The "Escrow Copy" for purposes of this Paragraph 1.4 will be the source code from which Licensee's executable copy of the Licensed Software was created, programming notes, instruction materials for the Licensed Software, the tools required to compile the source code into an executable version of such software if it is not commercially available, and the data required to effectively operate the License Software. In addition, within 30 days after each release of a new Major Version of the Licensed Software, Shadow will deposit with the Escrow Agent updated copies of the Escrow Copy including all updates, upgrades, patches, bug fixes, new releases, new versions, revisions and improvements so that at all times the Escrow Copy will functionally correspond with the Licensed Software in use by the Licensee. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to deprive Shadow of Shadow's right, title, and interest to the Escrow Copy. The Escrow Copy deposited with the Escrow Agent will be provided to the Licensee as described herein to allow the Licensee the continued benefit of the Licensed Software in the event of a default by Shadow as described below, provided that the Licensee has complied with the fees and payment terms of this Agreement. Only the following events will constitute a default by Shadow under this paragraph:
On the happening of any of the foregoing events, Licensee will provide written notice of the event to the Escrow Agent, identifying this Agreement, the nature of the event of default, and demand delivery of a complete copy of the Escrow Copy to Licensee. Upon receiving such notice, the Escrow
Agent will immediately notify in writing Shadow of the request, and Shadow will have five (5) days after the mailing of the notice to Shadow to notify the Escrow Agent and Licensee in writing that Shadow disputes that an event of default has occurred. The Escrow Agent will provide Licensee with a copy of the Escrow Copy only if Shadow does not provide written notice that it disputes that a default has occurred or if a court of competent jurisdiction finds that a default has occurred. In the event that the Escrow Agent provides Licensee a copy of the Escrow Copy, Licensee shall then have a fully-paid, transferable, perpetual license to the Escrow Copy and the right to: (a) use the Escrow Copy for the internal operations of Licensee; (b) make as many copies, including but not limited to, backup and archival copies of the Escrow Copy as Licensee reasonably deems necessary for such use; (c) modify the Escrow Copy for Licensee's own purposes and use in accordance with the provisions of this Section, through the services of Licensee's own employees or independent contractors; and (d) merge the Escrow Copy with, and use in conjunction with, other software, programs, routines, and subroutines developed or acquired by Licensee. Any dispute as to whether a default has occurred shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). Shadow grants Licensee the right to verify the Escrow Copy, at any time, and from time to time upon reasonable notice, for accuracy, completeness, and sufficiency. Shadow agrees to permit at least one (1) employee of Licensee to be present for any such verification. Licensee shall pay Shadow on a time and material basis for any time dedicated to such escrow verification unless the Escrow Copy is found not to be accurate, complete, and sufficient, in which case Shadow shall pay Licensee's expenses for verification.
1.5 Upon Shadow's notification to Licensee that the Licensed Software is installed and ready for testing, Licensee shall have forty-five (45) days within which to test the Licensed Software in a non-production environment, using the test criteria developed by Licensee, in order to determine whether the Licensed Software performs in accordance with the Documentation and warranties set forth in Section 7. Such test may include without limitation: (a) unit testing; (b) system testing; and (c) volume/stress testing. After Licensee has successfully completed the foregoing testing in accordance with the test criteria, Licensee shall notify Shadow in writing that conditional acceptance ("Conditional Acceptance") has occurred.
After Conditional Acceptance of the Licensed Software, Licensee will begin using the Licensed Software in a production environment. Once Licensee has used the Licensed Software in a production environment for forty-five (45) days without the occurrence of any material errors and determines that the Licensed Software performs in accordance with the warranties and Documentation then Licensee shall notify Shadow in writing of its acceptance ("Acceptance") of the Licensed Software.
If Licensee reasonably determines that the Licensed Software, or any module or component thereof, does not perform in accordance with the warranties and Documentation, Licensee will forward to Shadow a report describing the discrepancies. Shadow shall correct the errors or defects within ten (10) business days after receiving such report, and Licensee shall request the Licensed Software for an additional forty-five (45) day test period; provided, however, if the nature of the defect warrants, Licensee may elect to shorten the testing period. The process described above shall continue until Licensee's acceptance of the Licensed Software; provided, however, that if Acceptance of the Licensed Software has not occurred by ninety (90) days following Installation of the Licensed Software, then Licensee shall be entitled to declare this Agreement in default and receive a full refund of any and all moneys paid to Shadow, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity by statute or otherwise., however, for any period of delay caused by any third party's installation of infrastructure or equipment, the time periods listed in this paragraph shall be extended by that period of delay.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained or implied herein, the terms "Conditional Acceptance" and "Acceptance" in no way diminish Shadow's responsibility to comply with all terms and conditions of this Agreement.
