the due date.
17. Subscriber shall have no right in or to any S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. equipment,
Software, or to data and information received, except the right to use the
same in the course of Subscriber's business consistent with the provisions
herein. Subscriber shall not move the S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. equipment or Software
without written permission by S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. Subscriber shall pay for any

notification. Subscriber will pay all S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. equipment shipping and
handling charges as billed in addition to any other non-recurring charges.
-4-
18. (a) During the term of this Agreement, if Subscriber licenses Software from
S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. and pays all the required fees, S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. or its
authorized agents shall provide maintenance service to Subscriber for the
Software and will use reasonable efforts to attempt to correct identifiable and
reproducible material errors due solely to causes within the reasonable control
of S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. or its third party Software providers or developers. In
such case, S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. shall have the option to either promptly replace
or correct the Software so that the Software performs free of such errors, or to
credit the applicable fee on a pro-rata basis according to the amount of time
during which the Software failed to perform. S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. does not
guarantee maintenance service results or represent or warrant that all errors
will be corrected. Subscriber agrees and understands that it will be separately
and additionally charged for any training, copies of materials, assistance in
installation, and upgrades. Provision of maintenance services for any software
program is dependent upon Subscriber's compliance with all minimum hardware
and operating system requirements for such Software in conformity with
specifications provided by S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. To permit S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. to
provide maintenance services, S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. requires that Subscriber
isolate and document Software problems, provide appropriate modems and lines for
S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. to access Subscriber's system remotely, install and test all
fixes and updates, install Subscriber's system from backup, and perform those
other actions reasonably required by S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc.; if S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc.
performs any such services, Subscriber will be additionally charged at S&P
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc.'s then-current rates.
(b) S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. may change or discontinue Software maintenance
services for any reason at any time after the initial term of this Agreement
upon six (6) month's notice after the initial term of their agreement has been
completed.
(c) S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. shall have no responsibility whatsoever with regard
to the maintenance of any third party software which is not Software
specifically listed in Exhibit B.
19. Should Subscriber file a petition in bankruptcy or be adjudicated a
bankrupt, or if a petition in bankruptcy is filed against Subscriber, or
Subscriber makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or an
arrangement pursuant to any bankruptcy act or takes advantage of the insolvency
laws of any State, or if Subscriber discontinues all of its business, the
Service may be immediately terminated by S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. without notice.
S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. may terminate the Service, upon written notice to Subscriber,
if in S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc.'s reasonable judgment Subscriber is in material breach
of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement
under the provisions of this paragraph shall be without prejudice to any other
remedy which S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. may have against the Subscriber. Upon
termination of this Agreement, all fees and charges incurred to such date shall
become immediately due and payable. In addition to and notwithstanding the
above, if Subscriber or any of its employees, agents or representatives, shall
attempt to use or dispose of the Service in a manner contrary to the terms of
this Agreement, S&P ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. shall have the right, in addition to such
