publications managed by the Financial Times Group of companies, including for the avoidance of doubt, without limitation, Financial

the equity of the JVC (on a fully diluted basis) as soon as possible, with the aim of agreeing upon such schemes by 31 August
2000.





8.1	The A Shareholders agree to take, and procure the taking of, all requisite steps to increase the JVC's
authorised share capital from time to time and to allot and issue at par, credited as fully paid, A Shares in consideration of the
further capital contributions made by any party pursuant to clause 8.3 but (unless the parties agree otherwise) the A
Shareholders shall procure that the JVC shall not issue any shares (other than pursuant to share option schemes approved by the
Board) unless:

(a)	one-half of the additional shares are issued to Pearson Internet or such other member of the Pearson Group
as shall be nominated by Pearson Internet; or

(b)	one-half of the additional shares are issued to MarketWatch and/or such other member of the MarketWatch
Group as shall be nominated by MarketWatch,

except to the extent that different proportions, as between Pearson Internet and MarketWatch, would arise by
reason only of default by any party in performing an obligation to subscribe A Shares or of an issue of A Shares where any party
fails to exercise any right to subscribe.

8.2	The A Shareholders shall procure that such further number of B Shares are issued, from time to time, if
POHL so elects, for cash at par to POHL as is required to ensure that the B Shares held by members of the Pearson Group continue to

to the JVC in writing, by nominal value of the entire issued share capital of the JVC.

8.3	Each of Pearson Internet and MarketWatch shall make such
further capital contributions (its Additional Capital Contributions) (but so that the total for Additional Capital
Contributions agreed pursuant to clause 4.1(e) shall not be exceeded) to the JVC in the first two Financial Years as are
requested by the JVC in accordance with this clause 8.3 and as approved by the JVC's Board.  The JVC may request Additional
Capital Contributions to be paid in by not less than five Business Days' notice in writing to each of Pearson Internet and
MarketWatch at such times and for such amounts as are provided in the Funding Schedule (with a copy in writing at the same time to
POHL, together with a notice in writing showing how many further B Shares are to be subscribed in cash at par).  If such payments are
not made by Pearson Internet and MarketWatch within five Business Days after receipt of the payment request, interest at the rate of
3 per cent. above the Base Rate of Barclays Bank PLC from time to time shall be added to the payment due.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this clause 8.3, the JVC may not request and neither Pearson Internet nor MarketWatch shall have any
obligation to make any Additional Capital Contribution if any Milestone, specified in the Budget for achievement before the due date
for payment of the Additional Capital Contribution, shall not have been met in which case there shall be a Milestone
Termination Event.



8.4	Save for payments under clause 3.1(c), the Capital Contributions and the Additional Capital

contribute further funds or participate in any guarantee or similar undertaking for the JVC's benefit.



8.5	The Shareholders are not obliged to provide any finance over and above that required pursuant to
clauses 3.1(c) and 8.3 unless Pearson Internet and MarketWatch both agree on the amount and method of providing the finance.  If
the Board considers at any time that the Business requires further finance over and above that to which the parties are committed
under this Agreement in order to be able to achieve the Business Plan then current, the Board shall first approach the JVC's A
Shareholders for the subscription of further A Shares in the JVC in their Equity Proportions on the basis that if an A Shareholder
does not (at any point before full subscription of the further A Shares as envisaged in this clause 8.5) wish to subscribe the
portion then available to it, those other A Shareholders who have committed to take up all the further A Shares made available to
them as envisaged in this clause 8.5 (including A Shares made available because other A Shareholders are not taking up their
entitlements) will be entitled to subscribe, in proportion to their Equity Proportions, the further A Shares not so subscribed
(but so that if any Shareholder would otherwise thereby, alone or with any other member(s) of its Group, hold more than 50 per
cent. of the A Shares in the JVC, such Shareholder's rights to subscribe A Shares under this clause 8.5 shall be limited so that
it can subscribe A Shares only to the extent that it will not thereby, alone or with any other member(s) of its Group, hold more than
50 per cent. of the A Shares in the JVC).  Thereafter, the A Shareholders shall each use reasonable commercial endeavours to procure
that the requirements of the JVC and its Subsidiaries for working capital to finance the Business are met, as far as practicable, by
the JVC borrowing from banks and other similar sources on the most favourable terms reasonably obtainable as to interest, repayment
and security, but without allowing a prospective lender a right to participate in the Equity Capital of the JVC or any of its
Subsidiaries as a condition of a loan.



8.6	No party (nor any member of its respective Group) shall be obliged (nor, unless an A Shareholder,
entitled) to participate for the benefit of the JVC in any guarantee, bond or financing arrangement with any bank or financial
institution, whether as a guarantor or in any other capacity whatsoever. If and to the extent that the A Shareholders are willing to
participate (or to procure that members of their respective Groups participate) in any such guarantee, bond or financing arrangement
then, unless the A Shareholders agree otherwise, any liability or obligation to be assumed by them in relation to any such guarantee,
bond or financing arrangement shall be borne in their Equity Proportions.  Any such liability or obligation shall be several and not
joint or joint and several, unless they agree otherwise.  If an A Shareholder (or a member of its Group) incurs any such joint or
joint and several liability, that A Shareholder shall be entitled to a contribution from the other A Shareholder to ensure that the
aggregate liability of the A Shareholders or members of their respective Groups (as the case may be) is borne by the Pearson Internet
Group and the MarketWatch Group in the Equity Proportions of the relevant A Shareholders.





9.1	The Board shall be responsible for the overall direction, supervision and management of the JVC. The
Board shall not, however, take any decision in relation to any of the Reserved Matters except by unanimous agreement of those at the
relevant Board meeting at which a quorum is present.



9.2	The appointment (subject to the next following sentence of this clause 9.2) and removal of any Chief
Executive or Editor in Chief shall be by agreement between the A Shareholders by notice in writing to the JVC signed by or on behalf
of each A Shareholder.  The appointments of the initial Chief Executive and Editor in Chief are as stated in Clause 3.1(e).

9.3	Until such time as the A Shareholders unanimously agree otherwise, the Board shall be comprised of three
(3) Pearson Internet Directors and three (3) MarketWatch Directors.  The initial Board appointments at Completion shall
be:



|Pearson Internet Holdings
Directors | MarketWatch Directors
|----------------------------------- | ---------------------
|Josh Bottomley                      | Lawrence Kramer      
|Peter Martin                        | Joan Platt           
|Olivier Fleurot                     | William Bishop       

The Chairman shall be appointed alternately by MarketWatch and Pearson
Internet for periods of two Financial Years.  The Chairman shall have no second or casting vote.  The first Chairman shall be
Lawrence Kramer.



9.4	Pearson Internet and MarketWatch may each appoint or remove a Director nominated by it by notice to the
JVC signed by it or on its behalf.

9.5	The appointment or removal of any Director , Chief Executive or Editor in Chief shall take effect when the
notice is delivered to the JVC, unless the notice indicates otherwise.



9.6	The quorum for transacting business at any Board meeting (other than an adjourned meeting) shall be at
least one Pearson Internet Director and at least one MarketWatch Director present when the relevant business is transacted.  If that
quorum is not present within thirty minutes from the time when the meeting should have begun or if during the meeting there is no
longer a quorum, the meeting shall be adjourned for seven (7) Business Days and at that adjourned meeting any two Directors (or their
alternates) present shall be a quorum.  A Director shall be regarded as present for the purposes of a quorum if represented by an
alternate Director in accordance with clause 9.9.



9.7	At least fourteen days written notice shall be given to each Board member of any Board meeting, unless
at least one Pearson Internet Director (or his alternate) and at least one MarketWatch Director (or his alternate) approve a shorter
notice period.  Any notice shall include an agenda identifying in reasonable detail the matters to be discussed at the meeting
together with copies of any relevant papers to be discussed at the meeting.  If any matter is not identified in reasonable detail,
the Board shall not decide on it, unless all Board members agree in writing.



9.8	The A Shareholders shall procure that the Board meets at least quarterly.



9.9	The Board shall decide on matters by simple majority vote. Each Director shall have one vote. Any
Director who is absent from a meeting may nominate any other Director to act as his alternate and to vote in his place at the
meeting.  If the A Shareholders are not represented at any Board meeting by an equal number of Directors (whether present in person
or by alternate), then one of the Directors, nominated by the party which is represented by the fewer Directors, who is present may
exercise such additional vote or votes at that meeting as results in the Directors so present representing each party having in
aggregate an equal number of votes.





10.1	The A Shareholders shall use their respective powers to ensure, so far as they are legally able, that
no action or decision relating to any of the matters specified in clause 10.2 (Reserved Matters) is taken by the JVC,
any Subsidiary of the JVC or any of the officers or managers within the JVC Group unless each of the Pearson Internet Directors and
the MarketWatch Directors gives his or her prior approval (whether or not through his or her alternate) to proceed.  Any item
provided for in an approved Budget shall not require further consent as a Reserved Matter under clause 10.2 below unless (a) the
related expenditure would exceed 110 per cent of the amount approved in the Budget; (b) aggregate expenditures would have exceeded
105 per cent. of the sums provided for in respect of the relevant items in the approved Budget; or, being an item mentioned in clause

10.3	If a deadlock arises because the Board fails to agree on any of the Reserved Matters or any other
management matter requiring its decision, the matter shall be referred for resolution to a Director of each of Pearson plc and
MarketWatch who is not also employed as an executive of the relevant party or any member of its Group (an Outside
Director) with a view to it being resolved as early as possible in the best interests of the JVC.  Each A Shareholder shall
endeavour, and shall instruct their Outside Directors to endeavour, to resolve any disagreement in the best interests of the JVC.



10.4	If a dispute relating to the JVC's affairs cannot be resolved within thirty days after referring the
dispute to the A Shareholders' respective Outside Directors pursuant to clause 10.3 (a Shareholder Deadlock), and
the Shareholder Deadlock is with respect to a Reserved Matter or otherwise materially adversely affects the JVC's ability to carry on
the Business, then either A Shareholder may give written notice (a Warning Notice) that it intends to implement the
deadlock procedure provided in this clause 10.  If the dispute cannot be resolved within thirty (30) days of the Warning Notice,
either A Shareholder may within a further thirty days notify the other in writing (a Deadlock Notice) of such fact.  A
Deadlock Notice is irrevocable.



10.5	Within a period of thirty days after receiving a Deadlock Notice, both A Shareholders shall be
required to concur in taking all steps required promptly to place the JVC into liquidation.





11.1	It is an Event of Default in relation to either A Shareholder (a Defaulting
Party):

(a)	if a Defaulting Party (or any member of its Group) does not pay any amount payable by it under clause 8.3
of this Agreement in the manner in which it is expressed to be payable in this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days of the due
date;

(b)	if a Defaulting Party (or any member of its Group) commits a breach of any of its other obligations under
this Agreement (not being a breach referred to in clause 11.1(a)) or under any of the IP Transaction Documents which, alone or
taken together with any other such breach or breaches,  is material in the context of the Business of the JVC and the other A
Shareholder (the Non-Defaulting Party) serves written notice upon the Defaulting Party specifying the breach in
reasonable detail and requiring the Defaulting Party immediately to stop or procure the stopping of the breach and if the breach is
remediable, to make, or cause to be made, good the results of the breach within thirty (30) days, and (i) the Defaulting Party fails
to so stop, or (ii) if either the breach is not remediable, or, if remediable, is not remedied within such thirty (30) days;

(c)	if that A Shareholder convenes a meeting of its creditors or makes or proposes any arrangement or
composition with, or any assignment for the benefit of, its creditors; or

(d)	a court of competent jurisdiction makes an order or a resolution is passed, for the dissolution or
administration of that A Shareholder (otherwise than in the course of a reorganisation or restructuring previously approved in
writing by the other A Shareholder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); or

(e)	any person other than a member of the other A Shareholder's Group takes any step (and it is not withdrawn
or discharged within ninety (90) days) to appoint a liquidator, manager, receiver, administrator, administrative receiver or other
similar officer in respect of any assets which include either (i) the Shares held by that A Shareholder, its Holding Company or any
Subsidiary of such Holding Company or (ii) shares in that A Shareholder or any Holding Company of it.



11.2	If an Event of Default occurs, the Non- Defaulting Party may elect to:

(a)	require the Defaulting Party to buy (the Put Option) all of the Non-Defaulting Party's A
Shares on the terms set out in clause 11.3.  The Put Option may be exercised by notice (the Put Option Notice) from the
Non-Defaulting Party given at any time within thirty (30) days of the Event of Default (and following any cure period, if
applicable);

(b)	require the Defaulting Party to sell to the Non-Defaulting Party, or procure the sale to it, (the
Call Option) all of the A Shares held by the Defaulting Party, its Holding Company and subsidiary of such Holding
Company on the terms set out in clause 11.4.  The Call Option may be exercised by notice (the Call Option Notice)
from the Non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party given at any time within thirty (30) days of the Event of Default; or

(c)	require by notice to the Defaulting Party that the JVC be put into liquidation immediately.

11.3	If a Put Option Notice is served, it must state:

(a)	the price at which the Non-Defaulting Party's A Shares are to be bought; and

(b)	the terms (if any) on which the Non-Defaulting Party in its absolute discretion is willing to continue to
provide or procure the provision of any or all of the Core Services provided by it or any  of it.  For the avoidance of doubt the
provisions of this clause 11.3 shall not constitute an obligation on the Non-Defaulting Party to continue to provide such Core
Services.

11.4	If a Call Option Notice is served:

(a)	it must state the price at which the Defaulting Party's A Shares (and those of any Holding Company of the
Defaulting Party or of any Subsidiary of such Holding Company) are to be sold; and

(b)	the Defaulting Party must continue to provide or procure the provision of the relevant Core Services on the
same terms as such services have been provided in the twelve month period prior to the date of the Call Option Notice for (subject to
the terms of the IP Transaction Documents) a period of two years (or a shorter period with the consent of the Non-Defaulting Party)
from the date of the Call Option Notice.



11.5	If the Defaulting Party notifies the Non-Defaulting Party in writing within ten days of the relevant
notice being received by the Defaulting Party that is does not accept the price payable for the A Shares stated in either the Put
Option Notice or the Call Option Notice (as the case may be) (the Option Price) and requires that a third party
evaluates the price (the Evaluation Notice), an internationally recognised investment advisor (the
Expert) shall be appointed to determine the price at which the A Shares shall be transferred, which shall be the Fair
Price of the A Shares at the date of the Put Option Notice or the Call Option Notice (as the case may be) (the Sale
Price).  The Expert shall be such internationally recognised investment advisor as the Defaulting Party and the Non-
Defaulting Party may agree or, if they fail to agree within fifteen (15) days of the Evaluation Notice (the Failure
Date), the Expert shall be an investment advisor independent of both the Defaulting Party and the Non-Defaulting Party and
which shall not have been engaged or otherwise performed services for the JVC or any of its Shareholders during any of the five years
prior to the Default Date, as the President for the time being of the International Chamber of Commerce appoints at the request of
the Defaulting Party.  If the Defaulting Party fails to make such a request within fifteen (15) days from the Failure Date, it shall
be deemed to have withdrawn the Evaluation Notice and accepted the Option Price.

The Expert shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and its decision, which shall be incorporated in a
Certificate (the Certificate), shall be final and binding on the parties. The Expert's fees and expenses shall be born
in such proportion as the Expert shall determine and such determination as to such fees and expenses shall be final and binding as
the parties.



11.6	In the case of a Put Option Notice only, the Defaulting Party shall confirm to the Non-Defaulting
party whether it requires the Non-Defaulting Party to continue to provide or procure provision of the relevant Core Services as
offered in the Put Option Notice.  The Non-Defaulting Party shall be under no obligation to include in the Put Option Notice an offer
to further provide such Core Services.  The Non-Defaulting Party shall be obliged to provide such Core Services only on the terms and
under the conditions which are set out in the Put Option Notice.



11.7	Subject only to any Regulatory Approvals or if required by the rules and regulations of an
internationally recognised stock exchange any necessary approval of shareholders, including of a Holding Company, in general meeting
(Approvals):

(a)	in the case of a Call Option Notice, the Defaulting Party shall be bound to sell and the Non-Defaulting
Party shall be bound to buy the Defaulting Party's Shares; and

(b)	in the case of a Put Option Notice, the Non-Defaulting Party shall be bound to sell and the Defaulting
Party shall be bound to buy the Non-Defaulting Party's Shares

in each case at the:

(a)	Option Price, if the Defaulting Party fails to notify the Non-Defaulting Party within the ten day period
referred to in clause 11.5;

(b)	Sale Price, if the Defaulting Party notifies the exercise of its rights under clause 11.5.

In such event, completion of the sale and purchase of the A Shares shall take place within sixty (60) days of the
day on which the parties become so bound (the Reference Date) or, if any Approvals have not been obtained by the end of
that period, within ten (10) days of the date on which the last Approval to be obtained is obtained.  If any Approval has not been
obtained within one-hundred and eighty (180) days after the Reference Date, the Put Option Notice or Call Option Notice (as the case
may be) shall lapse and have no further effect.



11.8	The transfer of the A Shares shall be on the following terms:

(a)	the A Shares shall be sold free from all liens, charges and encumbrances and third party rights, together
with all rights of any nature attaching to them including all rights to any dividends or other distributions declared, paid or made
after the date of the Call Option Notice or Put Option Notice (as the case may be);

(b)	with effect from the completion date with respect to a Call Option Notice, the Non-Defaulting Party shall
assume any obligations of the Defaulting Party and, with respect to a Put Option Notice, the Defaulting Party shall assume the
obligations of the Non-Defaulting Party and any member of their respective Groups under, and shall ensure the release of, any
guarantees, indemnities, letters of comfort and/or counter-indemnities to third parties in relation to the business of the JVC.  This
is without prejudice, in the case of a Call Option Notice, to the Non-Defaulting Party's right and, in the case of a Put Option
Notice, the Defaulting Party's right to receive a contribution from the other A Shareholder for its share of any claims attributable
to any liabilities arising in respect of the period before the completion date;

(c)	in the case of a Call Option Notice, the Defaulting Party shall deliver to the Non-Defaulting Party duly
executed transfer(s) in favour of the Non-Defaulting Party or as it may direct and, in the case of a Put Option Notice, the Non-
Defaulting Party shall deliver to the Defaulting Party duly executed transfer(s) in favour of the Defaulting Party or as it may
direct, together with, if appropriate, share certificate(s) for the A Shares and a certified copy of any authority under which such
transfer(s) is/are executed;

(d)	against delivery of the transfer(s), the Option Price or the Sale Price (as the case may be) shall be paid
by electronic transfer to the relevant party's bank account;

(e)	the A Shareholders shall ensure (insofar as they are able) that the relevant transfer or transfers (subject
to their being duly stamped, stamp duty to be paid by the party acquiring the Shares pursuant to the Put Option Notice or the Call
Option Notice as the case may be) are registered in the name of the relevant Shareholder or as it may direct;

(f)	the A Shareholders shall do all such other things and execute all other documents (including any deed) to
give effect to the sale and purchase of the A Shares pursuant to this clause 11.

Power of attorney

11.9	Each of Pearson Internet and MarketWatch hereby irrevocably, and by way of security for the
performance of its obligations under this clause 11, appoints the other its attorney in its name and as its act to execute, sign,
deliver and do all such deeds, documents, acts or things which the attorney reasonably judges to be necessary for the performance of
the obligations of its appointor under this clause 11.



11.10	Upon the occurrence of a Milestone Termination Event, an A Shareholder may by notice to the other and
to the JVC require (subject to the Board's determination otherwise as provided below in this clause 11.10) that the JVC be put into
liquidation.  The Board may, upon receipt of such notice by the JVC, within ten (10) days thereafter decide and notify the parties
that the JVC shall not be put into liquidation.





12.1	The provisions of this clause 12 apply in relation to any transfer, or proposed transfer, of Shares in
the JVC or any interest in those Shares.



12.2	No Shareholder shall, except as permitted by this clause 12 or with the prior written consent of
every other holder of A Shares:

(a)	transfer any Shares;

(b)	grant, declare, create or dispose of any right or interest in any Shares; or

(c)	create or permit to exist any pledge, lien, fixed or floating charge or other encumbrance over any
Shares.



12.3	Except for transfers for which consent is given under clause 12.2 or for intra-Group transfers
permitted under clause 12.11, no Shareholder may transfer Shares unless it (the Seller) and/or members of its Group
transfer all (and not some only) of the Shares collectively held by them (the Seller's Shares).



12.4	Except for intra-Group transfers permitted under clause 12.11, no A Shareholder shall transfer any A
Shares during a period of five (5) years from the date of this Agreement without the prior written consent of every other holder of A
Shares.



12.5	After the end of the initial period referred to in clause 12.4 and before the Seller (and/or any
Shareholder in its Group) makes any transfer of the Seller's Shares, the Seller shall first give the other A Shareholder (the
Continuing Party) notice (a Transfer Notice) of any proposed transfer together with details of any
proposed third party purchaser (a Third Party Purchaser), the purchase price and all other material terms which the
Seller and the Third Party Purchaser have agreed.  A Transfer Notice is irrevocable except as provided in this clause 12.



12.6	On receipt of the Transfer Notice, the Continuing Party shall have the right to buy all (but not some
only) of the Seller's A Shares at the price specified in the Transfer Notice (or at such other price as the Seller and the Continuing
Party agree) by giving notice to the Seller within sixty days of receiving the Transfer Notice (the Acceptance Period).
The parties' obligations to complete the purchase are subject to the provisions of clause 12.7.



12.7	The Continuing Party shall be bound (subject only if required by the rules and regulations of an
internationally recognised stock exchange to any necessary approvals of its or its Holding Company's shareholders in general meeting
and any Regulatory Approvals)  to buy the Seller's A Shares on giving the Seller notice that it is exercising its rights under
clause 12.6.  In such event, completion of the sale and purchase of the Seller's A Shares shall take place within thirty (30)
days of the giving of the notice or, if later, the obtaining of all Regulatory Approvals and any necessary shareholder approval of
the shareholders of the Continuing Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, such notice and the Continuing Party's right to buy the
Seller's A Shares shall cease to have effect if:

(a)	any necessary approval of the Continuing Party's shareholders in general meeting is not obtained within the
thirty (30) day period; or

(b)	any necessary Regulatory Approval is not obtained within one-hundred and eighty (180) days of the giving of
the notice; or

(c)	earlier than the end of the one-hundred and eighty (180) day period referred to in clause 12.7(b), any
relevant authority conclusively refuses to grant any such Regulatory Approval.



12.8	If the Continuing Party does not exercise its right to buy under clause 12.6 or any notice given
under that clause ceases to have effect pursuant to clause 12.7, the Seller may (subject to clause 12.9 below) transfer the Seller's
A Shares on a bona fide arm's length sale to a Third Party Purchaser at a price not less than the purchase price specified in the
Transfer Notice provided that:

(a)	the Third Party Purchaser acquiring the Seller's A Shares would not, in the Continuing Party's reasonable
opinion, be materially detrimental to the JVC's interests;

(b)	the Third Party Purchaser (or any shareholder of it) is not directly or indirectly a substantial competitor
of the Continuing Party or the JVC; and

(c)	the transfer is completed within one-hundred and eighty (180) days after the latest of:



(ii)	if any notice given by the Continuing Party has ceased to have effect pursuant to clause 12.7, the
date on which that notice ceased to have effect.

The A Shareholders shall give (or ensure that any A Shareholders in their respective Groups shall give) any
approvals required by the Articles in relation to any transfer of Shares permitted by the terms of this clause 12.



12.9	The sale of any Seller's A Shares to the Continuing Party or a Third Party Purchaser shall be on the
following terms:

(a)	the Seller's A Shares will be sold free from all liens, charges and encumbrances and third party rights and
together with all rights of any nature attaching to them including all rights to any dividends or other distributions declared, paid
or made after the date of the Transfer Notice;

(b)	the Continuing Party/Third Party Purchaser shall assume, with effect from the completion date, any
obligations of the Seller and any member of its Group under (and shall procure the release of) any guarantees, indemnities, letters
of comfort and/or counter-indemnities to third parties in relation to the business of the JVC.  Where the buyer is the Continuing
Party, any such assumption shall be without prejudice to the Continuing Party's right to receive a contribution from the Seller for
its share of any claims attributable to any liabilities arising in respect of the period before the completion date;

(c)	if the buyer is a Third Party Purchaser, it shall take an assignment of, or make available equivalent
finance in place of, any loans, loan capital, borrowings and indebtedness in the nature of borrowing (but excluding, for the
avoidance of doubt, any debts incurred in the ordinary course of trade which are at the relevant time outstanding on inter-company
accounts) owing at that time from the JVC to the Seller or any member of its Group;

(d)	the Seller shall deliver to the Continuing Party/Third Party Purchaser duly executed transfer(s) in favour
of the Continuing Party/Third Party Purchaser, or as it may direct, together with the appropriate share certificate(s) in respect of
the Seller's A Shares and a certified copy of any authority under which such transfer(s) is/are executed;

(e)	against delivery of the transfer(s), the Continuing Party/Third Party Purchaser shall pay the total
consideration for the relevant Seller's A Shares to the Seller by electronic transfer of immediately available funds on the
completion date.

(f)	the A Shareholders shall ensure (insofar as they are able) that the relevant transfer or transfers (subject
to their being duly stamped, stamp duty to be paid by the Continuing Party/Third Party Purchaser) are registered in the name of the
Continuing Party/Third Party Purchaser or as it may direct;

(g)	the Seller shall do all such other things and execute all other documents (including any deed) as the
Continuing Party/Third Party Purchaser may reasonably request to give effect to the sale and purchase of the Seller's A Shares;

(h)	if the buyer is a Third Party Purchaser, it shall enter into an agreement with the Continuing Party to be
bound (in terms reasonably satisfactory to the Continuing Party) by provisions corresponding to the Seller's obligations under this
Agreement including (but without limitation) those under this clause 12.  If requested by the Third Party Purchaser, the Seller
shall ensure that all the Directors appointed by it resign and the resignation(s) take effect without any liability on the JVC for
compensation for loss of office or otherwise.



12.10	The A Shareholders agree that the Board may authorise any person to execute and deliver the necessary
transfers of A Shares pursuant to clause 12.9 and the JVC may receive the purchase price on trust for the Seller and cause the
Continuing Party or the Third Party Purchaser (or such other person as the Seller may direct pursuant to clause 12.9(d)) to be
registered as the holder of the A Shares.  The receipt by the JVC for the purchase money shall be a good discharge to the Continuing
Party or the Third Party Purchaser.  The A Shareholders shall procure that the JVC shall as soon as practicable pay to the Seller the
purchase money so received by it.



12.11	A Shareholder may at any time transfer any of the Shares held by it to a company which is a wholly-
owned Subsidiary of that Shareholder or a Holding Company of such Shareholder or any Subsidiary of such Holding Company.



12.12	Each of Pearson Internet and MarketWatch undertakes to ensure that any Shareholder in its Group shall
transfer all of the Shares which it then holds to a person which will still be a member of the Pearson Group or MarketWatch Group (as
the case may be) before such Shareholder ceases being a wholly-owned Subsidiary of it at any time.



12.13	The Seller shall use all reasonable endeavours (but without involving any financial obligation on its
part) to ensure that the Transfer Notice which it gives under clause 12.5 is accompanied by an offer to the Continuing Party from the
Third Party Purchaser to buy all the A Shares held by the Continuing Party on the same terms (including price per Ordinary Share) as
are set out in the Transfer Notice.  The offer shall be expressed to be irrevocable, governed by English law and open for acceptance
by the Continuing Party during the Acceptance Period.  If the Transfer Notice is not accompanied by such an offer:

(a)	the Acceptance Period for the purposes of clause 12.6 shall, notwithstanding the terms of clause 12.6, be
extended to a period of one hundred and eighty days from the date of receipt of the Transfer Notice;

(b)	the Seller shall use all reasonable endeavours during the extended Acceptance Period (but without involving
any financial obligation on its part) to ensure that:



(ii)	the Continuing Party may participate fully at its own expense in all negotiations and discussions
between the Seller and the Third Party Purchaser or their respective agents; and

(c)	subject to any confidentiality obligations owed to third parties, the Seller shall give the Continuing
Party full access to all documents and information in the Seller's possession or under its custody and control which:



(ii)	the Continuing Party may require in connection with negotiations and discussions with the Third Party
Purchaser.

12.14	Whenever, subject to clause 12.15, an A Shareholder transfers A Shares in accordance with the
provisions of clauses 12.4 to 12.10 inclusive, it may procure that all B Shares held by any member of its Group are transferred
at the same time to the transferee of the A Shares or to any member of the transferee's Group nominated by such transferee.  In the
event that the intending transferor of A Shares does intend so to procure the transfer of B Shares, it shall say so in the relevant
Transfer Notice.

12.15	Upon receipt of a Transfer Notice containing a statement of intention to procure the transfer of B
Shares, an A Shareholder may, by written notice to the JVC and the prospective transferor during the Acceptance Period, refuse
permission for the transfer of B Shares as contemplated in clause 12.14.  In that event, the continuing A Shareholders and the
JVC shall procure that the B Shares are redeemed on the date on which transfer of the transferor's A Shares is completed (and, if
necessary for such purpose, the continuing A Shareholder shall subscribe further shares in the JVC to enable redemption to occur
lawfully).

distribution in accordance with applicable law, that are surplus to the funding requirements shown in the draft Budget for the
following Financial Year attached to the relevant Business Plan.  The JVC's Memorandum and Articles shall provide for the ability to
pay interim dividends whenever legally permitted.



13.5	Upon reasonable notice to the management of the JVC each A Shareholder and the Financial Times may

Financial Times shall be entitled to receive all information, including monthly management accounts and operating statistics and
other trading and financial information as and, in such form as it reasonably requires to keep it properly informed about the
business and affairs of the JVC, to enable such party to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations applicable to such
party in its jurisdiction of organisation or as required by any stock exchanges on which its shares are listed and traded and
generally to protect its interests pursuant to this Agreement.



13.6	Without prejudice to the generality of clause 13.5 the A Shareholders shall procure that:

Year;

(b)	the draft Business Plan for any Financial Year, including the draft Budget and any requisite draft Funding

that the Board shall use its best efforts to agree the Business Plan for any Financial Year at the latest three months after the
beginning of the Financial Year to which it relates;

(c)	if the Board has not approved the terms of the draft Budget at the beginning of the respective Financial
Year, then the Business of the JVC shall continue for three months after the beginning of the Financial Year in question on the
Budget for the previous Financial Year plus 3%;

(d)	the Board shall as soon as reasonably practical, but in any event not more than fifteen Business Days after
the end of each calendar month, prepare management accounts (which, for the avoidance of doubt, compare the JVC's performance against
the Budget and Business plan) for the JVC; and

(e)	the Board shall report at least monthly in writing on the implementation of the Business Plan and on all
transactions outside the ordinary course of business and shall cause copies of the relevant Board Minutes to be settled and
distributed promptly to the parties.





14.1	Each party shall use (and shall ensure that each of its Subsidiaries shall use) all reasonable
endeavours to keep confidential (and to ensure that its officers, employees, agents and professional and other advisers keep
confidential) any information:

(a)	which it may have or acquire before or after the date of this Agreement in relation to the JVC's customers,
business, assets or affairs; this  includes, without limitation, any information provided pursuant to clause 11;

(b)	which it may have or acquire before or after the date of this Agreement in relation to the customers,
business, assets or affairs of any member of the Other Group resulting from:



(ii)	being a shareholder in the JVC;

(iii)	having appointees on the Board; or

(iv)	exercising its rights or performing its obligations under this Agreement; or

(c)	which relates to the contents of this Agreement (or any agreement or arrangement entered into pursuant to
this Agreement including, without limitation, the IP Transaction Documents).

No party shall use for its own business purposes or disclose to any third party any such information
(collectively, Confidential Information) without the consent of the A Shareholders except to the extent that disclosure
of such Confidential Information is necessary for the purposes of performing their obligations under this Agreement. In performing
its obligations under this clause 14, each party shall apply the confidentiality standards and procedures it applies generally in
relation to its own confidential information.



14.2	The obligation of confidentiality under clause 14.1 does not apply to:

(a)	the disclosure (subject to clause 14.3) on a `need to know' basis to another member of the same Group or a
party hereto where the disclosure is reasonably necessary for the purpose of this Agreement;

(b)	information which is independently developed by the relevant party or acquired from a third party to the
extent that it is acquired with the right to disclose the same;

(c)	the disclosure of information to the extent required to be disclosed by law, any stock exchange regulation
or any binding judgement, order or requirement of any court or other competent authority provided, that the disclosing party shall
first give the other party such prior notice of such requirement as is reasonably practicable and to the extent that it is reasonably
practicable, shall act to obtain or permit the other party to act to obtain confidential treatment for all such Confidential
Information required to be disclosed;

(d)	the disclosure of information to any tax authority to the extent reasonably required for the purposes of
the tax affairs of the party concerned or any member of its Group;

(e)	the disclosure (subject to clause 14.3) in confidence to a party's professional advisers of information
reasonably required to be disclosed for a purpose reasonably incidental to this Agreement;

(f)	information which becomes within the public domain (otherwise than as a result of a breach of this clause
14); or

(g)	any announcement made in accordance with the terms of clause 24.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed by the parties that Financial Times has a need to know within
clause 14.2(a) above all Confidential Information and a reasonable need for the disclosure of all Confidential Information to it
for the purpose of this Agreement if and for so long as both (a) it is a member of the Pearson Group and (b) it provides or
carries out any service or function to or for or on behalf of the JVC or Pearson Internet in connection with the Business or this
Agreement (other than solely by means of the FT Trade Mark Licence).



14.3	Each party shall inform (and shall ensure that any Subsidiary shall inform) any officer, employee or
agent or any professional or other adviser advising it in relation to the matters referred to in this Agreement, or to whom it
provides Confidential Information, that such information is confidential and shall instruct them:

(a)	to keep it confidential; and

(b)	not to disclose it to any third party (other than those persons to whom it has already been disclosed in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

The disclosing party is responsible for any breach of this clause 14 by the person to whom the Confidential
Information is disclosed.



14.4	If this Agreement terminates, each party undertakes to the other that it shall (and shall use all
reasonable endeavours to procure that its Subsidiaries and its officers, employees, agents, professional and other advisers and those
of its Subsidiaries shall) promptly:

(a)	return to the other party or the JVC all original documents containing Confidential Information belonging
to, or relating to, such other party or the JVC which it has or they have; and

(b)	destroy any copies of such documents and any other document or other written record reproducing, containing
or made from or with reference to the Confidential Information and shall, upon request, provide a certificate of an authorised
officer attesting to such destruction.

(save, in each case, for any submission to or filings with governmental, tax or regulatory authorities).

14.5	Each Party shall ensure that all computer files comprising reports, summaries or other material or
information relating to or derived from any documents or copy documents mentioned in clause 14.4 (a) or 14.4 (b) in the possession of
such Party shall (in so far as they can, with reasonable effort, be identified and deleted) be deleted from any computer, word
processor or other device containing the same.

14.6	Notwithstanding clauses 14.4 and 14.5, the written documents referred to in clause 14.4 which are created
and/or owned by such Party or any of its professional advisers and relating to the Business (including any working papers, attendance
notes, mark-ups of drafts and similar materials so owned and/or created) and (b) a diskette copy of the computer files referred to
above in clause 14.5 (which can, with reasonable effort, be identified and deleted) may be securely stored by such Party but shall be
used, or disclosed thereafter to any third party, only for the purpose of actual or potential litigation arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement.



14.7	The provisions of this clause 14 continue to apply if this Agreement is terminated.





15.1	The parties shall co-operate with each other to ensure that all information necessary or desirable for
making (or responding to any requests for further information following) any notification or filing made in respect of this
Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by it, is supplied to the party dealing with such notification and filing and that they
are properly, accurately and promptly made.



15.2	If any material Regulatory Action is taken or threatened, the parties shall promptly meet to
discuss:

(a)	the situation and the action to be taken as a result; and

(b)	whether any modification to the terms of this Agreement (or any agreement entered into pursuant to this
Agreement) should be made in order that any requirement (whether as a condition of giving any approval, exemption, clearance or
consent or otherwise) of the European Commission or any other regulatory authority may be reconciled with, and within the intended
scope of, the business arrangement contemplated by this Agreement.  The parties shall co-operate to give effect to any agreed
modifications.





16.1	Each party shall ensure that any contracts (other than the IP Transaction Documents) between the JVC
and members of that party's Group are made on an arm's length commercial basis and on terms that are not unfairly prejudicial to the
interests of either party or the JVC.



16.2	If the JVC has or may have any claim against a party arising out of any agreement entered into by the
JVC and any member of that party's Group, that party will ensure that the Directors nominated by any member of its Group shall not do
anything to prevent or hinder the JVC asserting or enforcing the claim against the first mentioned party and that they shall, if
necessary, enable all decisions regarding such claims to be taken by the directors nominated by the party wishing to assert or
enforce the claim.  This is without prejudice to any right of the latter party itself to dispute the claim.





17.1	Each party shall use all reasonable endeavours so that, subject to clause 17.2, all of the JVC's
trading losses and other amounts eligible for relief from corporation tax under Chapter IV of Part X of the Income and Corporation
Taxes Act 1988 (ICTA) (consortium relief) are surrendered or made available to such Shareholders and/or
other members of the relevant party's Group as wish to accept such surrenders to the extent that such persons wish to accept such
surrenders and such surrenders are permitted by law.  For this purpose:

(a)	the JVC and each party shall give all consents and take such other action (including, in the case of the
JVC, submission of computations) as may reasonably be required to ensure that surrenders are promptly and effectively made within any
relevant time limits;

(b)	each party shall ensure, in respect of each surrender that the relevant claimant company makes a payment in
relation to the amount surrendered (as referred to in s402(6) ICTA) within nine (9) months of the end of the relevant claim period
date (within the meaning of s403A ICTA);

(c)	the amount of any payment referred to in paragraph (b) shall be equal to 25 pence in the pound for the
losses surrendered);

(d)	to the extent that it is determined that relevant losses or other amounts surrendered are not available for
surrender for reasons other than insufficiency of profits of the claimant or other members of the relevant party's Group then so much
(up to a maximum of fifteen (15) per cent.) of the relative payment made pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall be subject to
return.

17.2	No further surrenders of trading losses may be made by the JVC pursuant to clause 17.1 after
completion, pursuant to clause 11.7, of the transfer (following occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to clause 11.1) of A
Shares of a Defaulting Party whose Group includes the holder of the B Shares.





18.1	So far as it is legally able, each party agrees with the other to exercise all voting rights and
powers (direct or indirect) available to it in relation to any person and/or the JVC to ensure that the provisions of this Agreement
(and the other agreements referred to in this Agreement) are completely and punctually fulfilled, observed and performed and
generally that full effect is given to the principles set out in this Agreement.  Without limitation to the generality of the
foregoing, if the B Shares are at any time required, pursuant to this Agreement or the JVC's articles of association, to be redeemed,
the parties holding A Shares and B Shares shall cooperate in taking all requisite steps to permit redemption Provided that no
party shall be obliged to subscribe further shares to enable such redemption to occur unless specifically required by this Agreement
to do so.



18.2	Each A Shareholder and Financial Times shall ensure that its Subsidiaries perform:

(a)	all obligations under this Agreement which are expressed to relate to members of its respective Group
(whether as Shareholders or otherwise) and

(b)	all obligations under any agreement entered into by any of its Group pursuant to this Agreement.

The liability of a party under this clause 18.2 shall not be discharged or impaired by any amendment to or
variation of this Agreement any release of or granting of time or other indulgence to any of its Subsidiaries or any third party or
any other act, event or omission which but for this clause would operate to impair or discharge the liability of such party under
this clause 18.2.



19.	No party nor any Shareholder in its Group shall, nor shall purport, to assign, transfer, charge or
otherwise deal with all or any of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement nor grant, declare, create or dispose of any
right or interest in it, or sub-contract the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part
(otherwise than pursuant to a transfer of Shares to a third party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or the assignment
by a party of its interest herein to its wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary in accordance with clause 12.11 of this
Agreement.



20.	No waiver by a party of a failure by the other party to perform any provision of this Agreement
operates or is to be construed as a waiver in respect of any other failure whether of a like or different character.



21.	A variation of this Agreement (or of any of the documents referred to in it) is valid only if it is in
writing and signed by or on behalf of each party.



22.	If any provision of this Agreement is or is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then so far as it is
invalid or unenforceable it has no effect and is deemed not to be included in this Agreement.  This shall not invalidate any of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement.  The parties shall then use all reasonable endeavours to replace the invalid or unenforceable
provision by a valid provision the effect of which is as close as possible to the intended effect of the invalid or unenforceable
provision.



23.1	Nothing in this Agreement (or any of the arrangements contemplated by it) is or shall be deemed to
constitute a partnership between the parties nor, except as may be expressly set out in it, constitute either party the agent of the
other for any purpose.

23.2	Unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, neither of them shall:

(a)	enter into any contracts or commitments with third parties as agent for the JVC or for the other party;
or

(b)	describe itself as such an agent or in any way hold itself out as being such an agent.



24.1	No formal public announcement or press release in connection with the signature or subject matter of
this Agreement shall (subject to clause 24.2) be made or issued by or on behalf of any party or any of its Subsidiaries without the
prior written approval of Pearson Internet if the press announcement or press release is to be made by MarketWatch or by MarketWatch
if it is to be made by any other party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

24.2	If a party has an obligation to make or issue any announcement required by law or by any stock exchange or
by any governmental authority, the relevant party shall give the other parties reasonable opportunity to comment on any announcement
or release before it is made or issued (provided that this shall not have the effect of preventing the party making the announcement
or release from complying with its legal and/or stock exchange obligations).



25.	Each of the parties shall, subject to clause 11.5, pay its own costs, charges and expenses (including
taxation) incurred in connection with negotiating, preparing and implementing this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by it.

connection with the formation of the JVC prior to Completion shall be borne equally by the A Shareholders.



26.1	This Agreement, the IP Transaction Documents and set out the entire agreement and understanding
between the parties with respect to the subject matter of it and supersedes any prior understanding or agreement in relation to such
subject matter.

26.2	No party has relied or has been induced to enter into this Agreement in reliance on any representation,
warranty or undertaking which is not set out in this Agreement.

Agreement; and

and Articles or other constitutional document of the JVC to ensure that there is no longer any such conflict.



27.2	Without prejudice to the generality of clause 27.1, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail in
relation to the transfer of Shares and, accordingly:

(a)	no Shareholder shall use the provisions of any Article of the Articles of the JVC to frustrate the
operation of clauses 11 or 12 of this Agreement;

(b)	each A Shareholder shall promptly give (or ensure that any Shareholder in its Group promptly gives) any
approval under the Articles of the JVC which is necessary or appropriate to give full and immediate effect to the procedure
contemplated by the provisions of clauses 11 or 12 and/or any transfer of Shares permitted under this Agreement; and

(c)	each A Shareholder, irrevocably and by way of security for the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement to transfer Shares, appoints each other party its attorney to execute, sign and do all such deeds, documents, acts and
things as are reasonably required for the purpose of or in connection with effecting and perfecting any such transfer of
Shares.





28.1	This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) termination
pursuant to clause 6.1, or (ii) the date that is fifteen years after the date hereof, or (iii) such time as a Pearson Group

accordance with this Agreement the A Shares are not so held, then this Agreement shall terminate and cease to be of any effect.  This
shall not:

(b)	any other information reasonably required in order to understand the calculation for Services Costs and
corresponding fees payable, as may be requested by Licensee from time to time.

6.3	All Services Costs to be paid under this Technology Agreement will be made together with any value added
tax (or other similar tax) chargeable thereon.

6.4	All Services Costs due hereunder will be paid in full without deductions, except only for such tax as

Licensor to recover (under the provisions of double tax conventions or other lawful manner) any tax so withheld and to obtain any

apply for the purpose of this Section 6.

be determined by an accountant mutually agreed upon by the parties or, if they cannot agree, an accountant appointed by the then

as an expert and not as an arbitrator.  The fees and expenses of the accountant will be borne equally by the parties unless the
accountant directs otherwise.

6.7	All payments to be made by Licensee to Licensor will be made in a mutually agreed manner.

6.8	Licensee shall have the right, at its own expense, to use certified accounting representatives reasonably
acceptable to Licensor to make examinations and audits, by prior arrangement, during normal business hours, and not more frequently
than semi-annually, of Licensor's accounts that contain information supporting or reflecting Licensor's calculation of the Services
Costs.  Any information so revealed shall be maintained in strict confidence by both the certified accounting representative and
Licensee, shall not be disclosed by either of them to any third party, and shall be used solely to verify Licensor's calculation of
the Services Costs.

Infringement

7.1	(a)	Except as provided in Section 7.1(b) below, Licensor will have the exclusive right in its
sole and absolute discretion, and at its own expense, to assume the conduct of all actions and proceedings relating to the
MarketWatch Technology in any country in the world.  Licensee agrees to provide to Licensor, at Licensor's reasonable expense, all
assistance that Licensor may reasonably require in connection therewith.  Any costs or damages recovered as a result of any such
actions or proceedings will be for the account of Licensor, unless any such infringement has clearly caused financial loss to
Licensee.  In such case, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith an appropriate allocation of any damages so recovered.

7.1	(b)	If Licensor decides not to bring any action for infringement of the MarketWatch Technology in any
jurisdiction, Licensor will at the request of Licensee cooperate to enable infringement proceedings in that jurisdiction by Licensee.
However, such cooperation may be conditioned upon Licensor receiving an indemnity from Licensee in respect of costs or liabilities
incurred by Licensor and Licensor having the right to approve all matters relating to the conduct of any proceedings taken in its
name such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.   Any costs or damages recovered as a result of proceedings taken by
Licensee will be for the account of Licensee unless the infringement has clearly caused financial loss to Licensor.  In such case,
the parties agree to discuss in good faith an appropriate allocation of any damages so recovered.

7.2	Licensee will stop using the MarketWatch Technology in a jurisdiction as soon as reasonably practicable
after receipt of written notice from Licensor (or Licensor's legal advisers from time to time) which reasonably demonstrates that
such use infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party in that jurisdiction.

breach requiring its remedy by Licensee or Licensee commits a material breach of any term or condition of this Technology Agreement
that is not capable of remedy or Licensee commits persistent breaches of any term or condition of this Technology Agreement (whether
or not material and whether or not capable of remedy); or

(c)	if, except for purposes of a voluntary reorganisation, reconstruction or amalgamation, an order is made or
a resolution is passed for the winding-up of Licensee or if a provisional liquidator is appointed in respect of Licensee, or if an
