Custodian shall not be liable for, and Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Custodian and any nominee appointed pursuant to the terms hereof, from and against any loss, damage, cost, expense (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), liability or claim of any third party arising directly or indirectly (a) from the fact that any of the Property is registered in the name of any such nominee, or (b) from any action or inaction by the Custodian or such nominee (i) at the request or direction of or in reliance on the advice of Customer, or (ii) upon Proper Instruction, or (c) generally, from the performance (or absence or lack thereof) of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that neither Custodian nor any nominee shall be indemnified and held harmless from and against any such loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim arising from Custodian’s or such nominee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If Customer requests Custodian to take any action with respect to Property that may, in the opinion of Custodian, result in Custodian or its nominee becoming liable for the payment of money or incurring liability of some other form, Custodian shall not be required to take such action until Customer shall have provided indemnity therefore to Custodian in an amount and form satisfactory to Custodian.

13. LIMITATION OF WARRANTIES. OTHER THAN THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES (IF ANY) MADE IN THIS AGREEMENT, CUSTODIAN DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO THE CAD AND SECURITIES WORKSTATION SYSTEMS, AND ALL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER. Without limiting the foregoing, Custodian shall not be liable for lost profits, lost business or any incidental, consequential or punitive damages (whether or not arising out of circumstances known or foreseeable by Custodian) suffered by Customer, its customers or any third party in connection with any of the products or services made available hereunder. Custodian’s liability under this Agreement shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) actual monetary damages incurred by Customer or (ii) an amount not to exceed one-half of the net fees paid to Custodian within the prior three calendar months immediately preceding the date on which Custodian received a written notice from Customer regarding such damages or, in the event of liability arising from Custodian’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, twelve months fees paid to Custodian within the prior twelve calendar months immediately preceding the date on which Custodian received a written notice from Customer regarding such damages. In no event shall Custodian be liable for any matter beyond its reasonable control, or for damages or losses wholly or partially caused by the Customer, or its employees or agents, or for any damages or losses which could have been avoided or limited by Customer giving prompt written notice to Custodian. Customer shall bring no cause of action, regardless of form, more than one year after the cause of action arose.

14. LIQUID FUNDS. Custodian shall not be liable for, or considered to be the custodian of, any cash belonging to Customer or any money represented by a check, draft or other instrument for the payment of money, until Custodian or its agents actually receive such cash or collect on such instrument.

Custodian shall not be required to enforce collection, by legal means or otherwise, of any money or property due and payable with respect to any Property held in the Account if such Property is in default or payment is not made after due demand or presentation.

15. CONFIDENTIAL RECORDS. Custodian shall treat all records and information relating to Customer and the Account as confidential, except that it may disclose such information after prior approval of Customer, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Custodian will be authorized to disclose any information regarding Customer, the Property, and the Account that is required to be disclosed by any law, governmental regulation or court order in effect without having received Customer’s prior approval.

16. CONFIDENTIALITY. Customer acknowledges that the Information is of a confidential nature, and is a valuable and unique asset of Custodian’s business. During the term of this Agreement and following the expiration or termination thereof, Customer shall not make or permit disclosure of any Information to any person or entity (other than to those employees and agents of Customer who participate directly in the performance of this Agreement and need access to Information). Upon termination of this Agreement, Customer shall deliver to Custodian all manuals, memoranda and other papers and all copies thereof, relating in any way to the Information, including the CAD and FTD Systems, the Applications, the Interfaces or to the Custodian. Customer acknowledges that it does not have nor can Customer acquire any right in or claim to the Information. Customer shall take all necessary steps, including having its employees and agents execute and deliver to Custodian such documents as Custodian deems reasonably necessary, to cause them to comply with the terms of this Section 16. Customer acknowledges that the injury which would be sustained by Custodian as a result of the violation of this provision cannot be compensated solely by money damages, and therefore agrees that Custodian shall be entitled to injunctive relief and any other remedies as may be available at law or in equity in the event Customer or its employees or agents violate the provisions contained in this Section 16. The restrictions contained in this Section 16 shall not apply to any information that becomes a matter of public knowledge, other than through a violation of this Agreement or other agreements to which Custodian is a party.

17. STATEMENTS. Customer agrees to review statements and reports, including those provided via the Workstations, if applicable, promptly on receipt. Inquiries regarding any valuations or other reports must be submitted to Custodian within thirty days of the receipt of the Custodian’s statement or report, and on expiration of this period, statements and reports shall be deemed correct and accepted by Customer. Express or tacit approval of such statement or report implies acceptance of the various entries listed therein and approval of any reservations made by Custodian. Thereafter, Customer assumes the responsibility to correct any and all errors.

Page 9 of 16

18. FEES. Customer shall pay to Custodian when due all fees and expenses arising in connection with the Services and the Account in accordance with the Fee Schedule (as may be amended from time to time) and billed or charged according to Customer’s customer profile schedule maintained at Custodian’s place of business. Customer shall receive no less than thirty days prior notice of any changes in the Fee Schedule. If Customer fails to pay Custodian for any fees and expenses owed within thirty days after invoice, Custodian may charge such fees and expenses to any deposit account of Customer or in the name of Customer. Custodian may also assess usual and customary late payment fees for payments past due more than thirty days after invoice.

19. NO WAIVER. The failure of Custodian to insist on strict compliance, or to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement, shall not constitute a waiver of any rights contained herein or estop Custodian from thereafter demanding full and complete compliance or prevent Custodian from exercising such remedy in the future.

20. FORCE MAJUERE. Custodian shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; strikes; epidemics; riots; power failures; computer failure and any such circumstances beyond its reasonable control as may cause interruption, loss or malfunction of utility, transportation, computer (hardware or software) or telephone communication service; accidents; labor disputes, acts of civil or military authority; governmental actions; or inability to obtain labor, material, equipment or transportation; provided, however, that the Custodian in the event of a failure or delay shall endeavor to ameliorate the effects of any such failure or delay.

21. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. This Agreement is not a contract of employment and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to create the relationship of joint venture, partnership, or employment between the parties. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, and their permitted transferees and assignees.

22. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, and representations regarding the subject matter of this Agreement. No amendment to this Agreement shall be valid, unless made in writing and signed by both parties; provided, however, Custodian may amend or otherwise modify this Agreement, and any addenda, amendments, exhibits or schedules thereto, provided such modification does not create any new obligation on the part of Customer and does not materially diminish any service being provided by Custodian hereunder. Custodian shall give Customer notice of such changes by ordinary mail.
