ISS, in the defense of any such claim, action or proceeding, except with the written consent of ADP, shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which either (A) does not include, as an unconditional term, the grant by the claimant to ADP of a release of all liabilities in respect of such claims or (B) adversely affects the rights or public image of ADP in respect of such claim, action or proceeding.

10.2.                     ADP Indemnity.

(a)                             ADP shall indemnify and hold harmless ISS, its Affiliates and their officers, directors, partners, employees and agents against any and all judgments, damages, costs or losses of any kind (including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees) resulting from any third party claim, action, or proceeding that directly arises out of or relates to: (i) any breach by ADP of its representations, warranties or covenants hereunder; or (ii) any claim that the Consolidated Datafeed, any part thereof or any technology used in connection therewith, infringes any U.S. patent, copyright, trademark, trade name or other proprietary right, including misappropriation of trade secrets; provided, however, that (a) ISS notifies ADP promptly of any such claim, action or proceeding of which it becomes aware; (b) ISS grants ADP control of its defense and/or settlement; and (c) ISS cooperates with ADP, at ADP’s expense, in the defense thereof. Upon request by ISS, ADP shall periodically reimburse ISS for its reasonable expenses incurred under this Section 10.2. ISS shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of any claim, action or proceeding against which it is indemnified hereunder; provided, however, it shall have no right to control the defense, consent to judgment, or agree to settle any such claim, action or proceeding without the written consent of ADP without waiving the indemnity hereunder. ADP, in the defense of any such claim, action or proceeding, except with the written

13

consent of ISS, shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which either (A) does not include, as an unconditional term, the grant by the claimant to ISS of a release of all liabilities in respect of such claims or (B) adversely affects the rights or public image of ISS in respect of such claim, action or proceeding.

(b)                                       Without limiting the rights to indemnification set forth herein, if, as a result of any such infringement claim, ISS is enjoined from using the Consolidated Datafeed, or in ADP’s judgment such an injunction is likely to be issued, ADP, at its expense, may either modify the Consolidated Datafeed so that it is no longer infringing (so long as its functionality is not impaired), replace the Consolidated Datafeed with functionally equivalent products or services, or obtain a right from such claimant for ISS to continue to use the Consolidated Datafeed on terms no less favorable than those set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 11.                      Confidentiality.

11.1.                          Confidential Information. The parties recognize that, in connection with the performance of this Agreement (including the Services), before and after the date of this Agreement, each party or their respective Affiliates (in such capacity, the “Disclosing Party”) has disclosed and may disclose Confidential Information to the other party or such party’s Affiliates (the “Receiving Party”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means (i) all information about either party’s business, business plans, customers, strategies, trade secrets, operations, records, finances, assets, and information that reveals the processes, methodologies, technology (including source code and object code) or know-how by which either party’s existing or future products, services, applications and methods of operation are developed, conducted or operated, regardless of its form or the medium in which it is stored; or (ii) any information that reasonably should be expected by the Receiving Party to be confidential by virtue of its content or context.

11.2.                          Use of Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11.1, “Confidential Information” shall not include information which: (i) was at the time of disclosure already in the possession of the Receiving Party and not subject to any duty or obligation of confidentiality or nondisclosure, as shown by written record; (ii) becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of the Receiving Party; (iii) was independently made available to the Receiving Party by an unrelated and independent third party whose disclosure shall not, to the knowledge of the Receiving Party after due inquiry, constitute a breach of any duty of confidentiality owed to the Disclosing Party; or (iv) has been independently developed by the Receiving Party. The Receiving Party agrees (A) not to use any such Confidential Information for any purpose other than in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or as permitted hereby and (B) not to disclose any such Confidential Information, except (1) to a limited number of its employees on a need to know basis, (2) to its agents, representatives, lawyers and other advisers that have a need to know such Confidential Information, (3) to software consultants and advisors who have a need to know such Confidential Information in the course of the performance of their duties, provided that such parties enter into appropriate written agreements to keep all Confidential Information confidential which are enforceable by the Disclosing Party, to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information, and (4) if compelled to be disclosed pursuant to a court order or other legal process,

14

provided that the Disclosing Party shall first have the opportunity to request an appropriate protective order.

11.3.                           Unauthorized Use. The Receiving Party shall take all commercially reasonable measures to protect the secrecy and confidentiality of, and avoid disclosure or unauthorized use of, the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and shall be responsible for any disclosure or misuse of Confidential Information that results from a failure to comply with this Section 11.3. The Receiving Party shall be fully responsible for any breach of this Agreement by its agents, contractors, representatives and employees. The Receiving Party shall promptly report to the Disclosing Party any actual or suspected violation of the terms of this Agreement and shall take all reasonable further steps required by the Disclosing Party to prevent, control or remedy any such violation.

11.4.                           Return of Information. The Receiving Party shall, at the request of the Disclosing Party, retrieve all Confidential Information from its permitted disclosees and thereafter shall (i) promptly return all Confidential Information held or used by the Receiving Party in whatever form, or (ii) at the discretion of the Receiving Party, promptly destroy all such Confidential Information and certify such destruction to the Disclosing Party, provided that during the Term, the Disclosing Party will not make such a request with respect to Confidential Information necessary for the Receiving Party to perform its obligations hereunder.

11.5.                          Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the parties and their respective affiliates and their advisors authorize employees, representatives or other agents, from and after the commencement of any discussions with any such party, to disclose to any and all Persons without limitation of any kind the tax treatment and tax structure related to this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such tax treatment or tax structure that may be provided, except for any information identifying either party hereto or their Affiliates. For purposes hereof, the terms “tax treatment” and “tax structure” shall have the meaning provided by Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4.

11.6.                           Injunctions. In view of the difficulties of placing a monetary value on the Confidential Information, the Disclosing Party may be entitled to a preliminary and final injunction without the necessity of posting any bond or undertaking in connection therewith to prevent any further breach of this Section 11 or further unauthorized use of its Confidential Information. This remedy is separate from and in addition to any other remedy the Disclosing Party may have.

11.7.                          Existing Non Disclosure Agreement. This Section 11 supercedes and replaces the existing Non Disclosure Agreement between ISS and ADP and such Non Disclosure Agreement shall be deemed terminated as of the Effective Date.

SECTION 12.                     Term and Termination.

12.1.                           Term. Subject to early termination under Section 12.2, the term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and terminate on the eighth (8^th) anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”); provided, that this Agreement shall be renewable for

15

successive five (5) year periods (together with the Initial ‘Term, the “Term”) unless it is terminated by either party by giving written notice to the other party at least ninety (90) days before the end of the Initial Term or any succeeding renewal term.

12.2.                    Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement may be terminated at any time:

(a)                                       By mutual consent of ADP and ISS;

(b)                                     By ISS if ADP has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and has not, in the case of a breach of a covenant or agreement, cured such breach within ten Business Days after written notice of such breach is given to ADP (provided that ISS is not then in material breach of the terms of this Agreement, and provided further that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured) unless such breach shall not reasonably be likely to prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or have a Material Adverse Effect on ISS;

(c)                                      By ADP if ISS has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and has not, in the case of a breach of a covenant or agreement, cured such breach within ten Business Days after written notice of such breach is given to ISS (provided that ADP is not then in material breach of the terms of this Agreement, and provided further that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured) unless such breach shall not reasonably be likely to prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or have a Material Adverse Effect on ADP;

(d)                                     By ISS upon a breach by ADP of Section 7.3(f);

(e)                                      Subject to Sections 7.3(f) and 7.40), by ADP if, during the Term, ISS commences any activity, other than on a “de minimis” basis, related to acting as an agent or otherwise as an outsourced service provider, on behalf of banks, broker-dealers or other nominees in North America (in the aggregate, “Nominees”), in connection with fulfilling such Nominees’ obligations pursuant to Rules 14b-1 or 14b-2, respectively, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor rules or regulations. For purposes of this Section 12.2(e), a “de minimis” basis shall mean the processing by ISS of 3,000 or fewer Nominee customer accounts in any calendar year; provided, such Nominee customer accounts (i) contain positions for securities of North American issuers trading on North American securities exchanges and (ii) are accounts of Persons not domiciled in North America. Within 10 Business Days after the end of each calendar year during the Term, ISS shall deliver to ADP a certificate signed by the President and Chairman of ISS certifying ISS’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 12.2(e);

(f)                                        By either party upon a breach by the other party of Section 14.13 (Assignment);

(g)                                     By either party if: (i) there shall be a final, non-appealable order of a Federal or state court in effect preventing consummation of the transactions contemplated

16

hereby; or (ii) there shall be any final action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby by any Governmental Entity which would make consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal; and

(h)                                  By either party in the event the other party intentionally discloses any Confidential Information of the other party in breach of this Agreement.

12.3.                      Effect of Termination.

(a)                                    Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, provided that ISS continues to pay Fees pursuant to Section 6, ADP shall permit and not prohibit ISS’s continued use of the Consolidated Datafeed for a transition period (the “Transition Period”) in order to provide ISS adequate time to execute an uninterrupted migration by ISS from the use of the Consolidated Datafeed to the use and operation of an alternate system so as not to disrupt the business activities of ISS or any of ISS’s clients. Once such alternate system is operational on the ISS system, ISS shall discontinue all use of the Consolidated Datafeed and return to ADP all materials and documentation related to the Consolidated Datafeed that are proprietary to ADP. In no event shall this Transition Period be less than 120 days or greater than six (6) months from the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement.

(b)                                    Upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2(e) above, ISS shall have the right to license ADP’s Proxy Edge Software for purposes of processing Ballots on such terms and conditions in existence under the Proxy Edge License Agreement immediately prior to the Live Date, except for the term set forth in such agreement, which shall be of no shorter duration than the then-remaining portion of the Term under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the parties revert to the Proxy Edge Software License Agreement, the pricing terms set forth in such agreement immediately prior to the Live Date shall automatically be increased to reflect the aggregate annual increase in the United States Consumer Price Index as released by the United States Department of Labor.

(c)                                      Subject to Section 12.3(a), upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, (i) ADP shall return to ISS all materials and documentation related to the Enhanced Components that are proprietary to ISS, and (ii) ISS shall return to ADP all materials and documentation related to the Consolidated Datafeed that are proprietary to ADP.

SECTION 14. Miscellaneous.

14.1.                          Governing Law.

17

14.2.                          Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of ADP and ISS irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New York State sitting in the County of New York or any federal court of the United States of America sitting in the Southern District of New York arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.

14.3.                         Waiver of a Jury Trial. Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 14.3.

14.4.                         Relationship. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating a joint venture, partnership, agent or employment relationship between the parties. Each party will refrain from acting in any manner which will prejudice or pledge the credit of the other party, from representing to any other Person that it has the authority to act as agent on behalf of such party and from making or purporting to make any contract on behalf such party.

14.5.                         No Promotion. Except as contemplated in this Agreement, each party agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the other party in each instance, (i) use in external advertising, publicity, or otherwise the name of the other party, or any affiliate of such party, or any partner or employee of such party, nor any trade name, trademark, trade device, service ▇▇▇▇, symbol or any abbreviation, contraction or simulation thereof owned by the other party or its affiliates, or (ii) represent, directly or indirectly, that any information or any service provided by either party has been approved or endorsed by the other party.

18

14.7.                          Entire Agreement.

14.8.                           Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement.

14.9.                           Further Assurances. The parties shall each perform such acts, execute and deliver such instruments and documents, and do all such other things as may be commercially reasonable to accomplish the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

14.10.                     Force Majeure. Neither ADP nor ISS shall bear responsibility or liability for any losses arising out of any delay in or interruptions of their respective performance of their obligations under this Agreement due to any act of God, act of Governmental Authority, act of the public enemy or due to war, the outbreak or escalation of hostilities, riot, fire, flood, civil commotion, insurrection, labor difficulty (including, without limitation, any strike, or other work stoppage or slow down), severe or adverse weather conditions, communications line failure, or other similar cause beyond the reasonable control of the party so affected. So long as any such delay or interruption continues, the party responsible for such performance will use its

19

reasonable best efforts to eliminate such conditions, as applicable, and will keep the other party fully informed at all times concerning the matters causing such delay or default and the prospects for their termination.

14.11.                     Advertising and Publicity. Neither party, nor anyone acting on such party’s behalf, shall publish, distribute or otherwise disseminate any press release, advertising or publicity matter having any reference to the other party of this Agreement, unless and until such matter has first been submitted to and approved in writing by the other party.

14.12.                     Amendments: Waivers. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless it shall be in writing and signed by the parties. Any failure of a party to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Agreement may be waived by the party entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument signed by the party granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure of compliance.

14.13.                      Assignment. ADP shall have the right to assign or sublicense this Agreement and any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder to any Person, without ISS’s prior written consent, so long as such assignee does not directly or materially compete with ISS immediately prior to the date of such assignment and, provided that, such assignee shall be obligated to perform, and capable of performing, all of ADP’s obligations under this Agreement and shall so agree in writing to such obligation to perform. ISS shall have the right to assign or sublicense this Agreement and any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder to any Person, without ADP’s prior written consent, so long as such assignee does not directly or materially provide substantially similar services or product offerings as those provided by ADP to ISS customers immediately prior to the date of such assignment and, provided that, such assignee shall be obligated to perform, and capable of performing, all of ISS’s obligations under this Agreement and shall so agree in writing to such obligation to perform.
