This Addendum to Master License Agreement, including all Exchange Specific Terms set forth at the end of this Addendum with respect to specific exchanges (collectively, this “Addendum”), together with the terms of the Vela Master License Agreement (“MLA”), is an integral part of the Order Form executed by Vela and Customer for Vela’s data services, as specified in the Order Form.

The terms set forth in this Addendum apply to the Market Data (as defined below) to be provided by Vela to Customer and are in addition to the terms set forth in the MLA and the Order Form. In the event any provision of this Addendum is directly contrary to a provision of the MLA, this Addendum shall take precedence.  In the event any express term of the Order Form is directly contrary to any term of this Addendum, that provision in the Order Form shall take precedence.   Additionally, any separate written agreement between Customer and the applicable Disseminating Party (as defined below) shall prevail over the terms of this Addendum and the MLA with respect to Customer’s use of the Disseminating Party’s data.

Customer also agrees to be subject to any additional terms specific to Market Data provided by a respective exchange, as listed in Appendix A to this Agreement.  Customer acknowledges that each exchange may revise its Market Data rules from time to time and Customer is responsible for compliance with all such rules applicable to client’s use of any Market Data.

1.  Term and Termination

1.1  This Addendum may be suspended by Vela as to any category of Market Data, immediately (i) upon the request of a Disseminating Party; (ii) if a Disseminating Party, for whatever reason, interrupts the provision of market data; or (iii) in the event Customer fails to pay to Vela the fees associated with the receipt and use of Market Data, as set forth in the relevant Order Form.  Any additional data or other services requested by Customer to be procured for Customer by Vela shall be at Customer’s expense and invoiced by Vela.

1.2  This Addendum shall automatically terminate as to any category of Market Data upon the Disseminating Party’s revocation of Customer’s right to receive the Disseminating Party’s data or direction to Vela to cease providing that data to Customer.

2. License

2.1  Vela grants to Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as explicitly set forth below), revocable, world-wide license during the term of this Addendum, only for the internal transmission and distribution of the data provided hereunder (the “Market Data”) by users that are employees of Customer and engaged only in carrying out the business of Customer (each, a “User”). The defined term Market Data includes live data which is Market Data streamed in real time to Customer directly from Vela’s data centres (“Live Market Data”) and historical market data which is Market Data that has been captured and redistributed after market close (“Historical Market data”).

2.2  In consideration for the supply of the Market Data and the right to use it in accordance with the terms of this Addendum, Customer will pay Vela the Charges as indicated in the relevant Order Form.

2.3  Customer may not modify its usage type (as set forth in the Order Form) without 30 days’ prior written notice to Vela, and any costs to modify incurred by Vela shall be at Customer’s expense.

2.5  Customer is responsible for ordering their own cross connects, the cost of which are not included in the Order unless expressly referenced.  Each cross connect is solely to be used for connectivity into the Vela environment. Customer acknowledges that latency or delivery for internet-based connectivity cannot be guaranteed to the same standard as dedicated connectivity. Vela reserves the right to immediately disconnect Customer Internet VPN connections if connections, in Vela’s sole opinion, cause (i) a material delay to Vela’s TCP publishers; (ii) a negative impact to the performance of Vela’s environment; or (iii) negatively impact the Vela environment for Vela’s other clients.

3. Restrictions on Use of Market Data

3.1  The terms set forth herein will, in every instance, be unilaterally applicable to Live Market Data.  However, the applicability of such terms to Historical Market Data shall be dictated by industry standards and best practices. In the event, there is a dispute between Vela and Customer regarding the applicability of any terms with respect to Historical Market Data, the respective Disseminating Party will have sole right to determine such applicability.

3.2  Customer may only receive such categories of Market Data as Vela or a Disseminating Party, as applicable, has approved for Customer’s receipt and use.  For purposes of this Addendum, the term “Disseminating Party” means a party that supplies Vela with Market Data for redistribution to Customer.

3.3  Notwithstanding Section 3.1, if Customer is a financial securities professional, such as a registered broker-dealer or investment adviser, Customer may occasionally furnish limited amounts of Market Data to its clients and to Customer’s branch offices, so long as such Market Data is furnished solely in the regular course of its securities business in accordance with the rest of this Section 3.3.  Customer may furnish Market Data to its customers and clients who are not on Customer’s premises solely (1) in written advertisements, educational material, sales literature or similar written communications or (2) during telephonic voice communication not entailing the use of computerized voice synthetization or similar technology.  Customer may furnish Market Data to its branch offices solely (a) as provided in the preceding sentence or (b) through manual entry of the data over its teletype network.  The foregoing rights to furnish Market Data are expressly subject to Customer’s obligation to indemnify and hold Vela harmless from any and all Claims arising in connection with the furnishing of such Market Data as set forth in Section 10.  Customer shall not permit any customer or client to take physical possession of Market Data Equipment. Customer shall abide by any additional limitations that Vela or any Disseminating Party may specify in writing, either directly or through Vela.

3.4  Except as expressly provided in Section 2, Customer shall not in any way, directly or indirectly use, display, access, transfer, re-distribute, reference, re-sell or sub-license the Market Data, and/or use the Market Data (or any of the information contained therein) for any illegal purpose or to bring Vela or the Disseminating Party, or their respective members, businesses or markets into disrepute.

3.5  Customer shall not alter the Market Data. Customer shall not retransmit or otherwise furnish all or part of the Market Data to any third party, whether directly or indirectly, by Customer’s own actions or through any other person or organization, or in any way facilitate access by a third party to the Market Data, other than with the prior written consent of Vela and the applicable Disseminating Party.  Customer shall not make its user ID available to any other person. The failure to comply with these restrictions shall result in the termination of the provision of the Market Data.

3.6  Customer shall ensure that its Users comply with all of Customer’s obligations under this Addendum.  Customer is responsible for the use of the Market Data by its Users.

3.7  In authorizing Vela to take any action, or to receive any communication, this Addendum authorizes Vela to act on its own behalf and on behalf of the Disseminating Parties.  Any Disseminating Party may enforce this Addendum as to Market Data that originates on or derives from its markets, by legal proceeding or otherwise, against Customer and may likewise proceed against any person that obtains its Market Data other than as this Addendum contemplates.  No act or omission on the part of Vela and no other defense that might defeat recovery by Vela against Customer shall affect the rights of the Disseminating Parties as third-party beneficiaries under this Addendum.  Customer shall pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees that any Disseminating Party incurs in enforcing this Addendum against Customer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vela and the Disseminating Parties reserve all rights, at law and equity, with respect to their respective rights in and to the Market Data.

3.8  The terms of Appendix A shall apply to the use of certain Market Data received from the applicable Disseminating Party as set forth therein.

3.9  Any display or publication created by Customer that incorporates the Market Data must clearly show whether the Market Data is real time or delayed or historical and must not be misleading as to the time when it was originally provided by the Disseminating Party. The period of delay or time of original transmission of the Market Data is noted in all displays of delayed Market Data. Customer shall comply with any other Market Data display requirements as Disseminating Parties may specify from time to time.

3.10 Customer agrees to provide any Disseminating Party or Supplier any information for which Supplier is required by law to obtain and is responsible for any usage charges invoiced by Disseminating Party or Supplier, including any administrative charges.

4.5  Customer acknowledges that in the event of a breach of this Section 4 by Customer or any of its Users, substantial injury could result to Vela or the applicable Disseminating Party and money damages will not be a sufficient remedy for such breach.  Therefore, in the event that Customer or any of its Users engage in, or threaten to engage in any act which violates any provision of this Addendum, Vela and the applicable Disseminating Party shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies which may be available to it at equity or under law, to seek injunctive relief (including, without limitation, temporary restraining orders, or preliminary or permanent injunctions) and specific enforcement of the terms of this Addendum.  Vela and the applicable Disseminating Party shall not be required to post a bond or other security in connection with the granting of any such relief.
