Paragraph 5 describes, any redissemination or other use of that Type of Market Data is prohibited. Where NYSE
has authorized Customer to provide one or more, but not all, Types of Market Data to a Data Recipient,
Customer shall inhibit the provision of the unauthorized Type( s) of Market Data in the manner Exhibit A
describes. 





(b) SUBSCRIBER SERVICES -Customer may provide one or more Type( s) of Market Data to a Subscriber
through a Subscriber Service solely as described and in the manner specified in Exhibit A and only pursuant to

as appropriate, may specify) that the person has entered into an appropriate agreement with NYSE
or AMEX that authorizes the person to receive and use the Type( s) of Market Data; or


(ii)	while the person is a party to an effective agreement with Customer that includes terms and
conditions in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B (if any); or


(iii)	Customer's compliance with such alternative or additional Subscriber Service requirements as
NYSE, or AMEX, as appropriate, may from time to time approve in writing. 





Where Customer provides a Subscriber Service pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this Paragraph 5(
b), Customer shall assure that it has the ability to modify its agreements with Subscribers, and any
alternative subscriber requirements, as NYSE may from time to time specify. Customer shall effect
any such modification promptly, except that Customer may continue to provide a Subscriber
Service to any existing Subscriber without effecting the modification for 90 days from that receipt.
Customer shall discontinue its provision thereafter if the Subscriber has not agreed to the
modification( s). Customer shall promptly describe to NYSE any breach by a Subscriber of the
NYSE-prescribed portions of Customer's agreements with the Subscriber, or of NYSE-prescribed
alternative subscriber requirements, about which 


it may learn. Customer shall not in any way amend, supplement, or otherwise modify NYSE-prescribed provisions or requirements or vitiate those provisions or requirements by any collateral
agreement or understanding, except as NYSE may otherwise agree in writing. 





(c) INDIRECT ACCESS SERVICES -NYSE will determine in its sole discretion whether the
manner in which Customer intends to provide one or more Types of Market Data to other persons
constitutes an Indirect Access Service. Customer may provide an Indirect Access Service solely
as described and in the manner specified in Exhibit A. Customer shall not provide any person with
an Indirect Access Service unless NYSE has notified Customer that the person has entered into
an appropriate agreement with NYSE authorizing the Indirect Access. Customer shall promptly
notify NYSE whenever any person commences or ceases to receive an Indirect Access Service. 





(d) DELAYED LAST SALE PRICE INFORMATION SERVICES -If Customer elects to provide
Delayed Last Sale Price Information Services (as described, and in the manner specified, in Exhibit
A), Customer shall: 





(i) comply with any contract and fee collection requirements that NYSE may specify from time to time
as to persons receiving Delayed Last Sale Price Information; 


(ii) assure that each display of Delayed Last Sale Price Information conspicuously exhibits a statement
indicating that the information has been delayed and the duration of the delay; and 


(iii) assure that any advertisement, sales literature or other material promoting any Delayed Last Sale
Price Information Service, and any agreement for that Service, includes such a statement in a
conspicuous manner. 





Customer shall assure that the statement is effected in the form and manner Exhibit A describes and in a manner
that makes it readily visible to any person viewing the display or promotional material. In addition, Customer
shall comply, and shall use its best efforts to cause Subscribers to comply, with any other reasonable regulation
that NYSE may adopt from time to time to assure that viewers of Delayed Last Sale Price Information are not
misled as to its nature. 





(e) SECURITIES PROFESSIONAL EXCEPTION -Insofar as (i) NYSE determines that Customer is a
securities professional (such as a registered broker-dealer or investment adviser) and (ii) Exhibit A does not
otherwise permit Customer to provide Market Data to a particular person or branch office, Customer, solely in
the regular course of its securities business, may occasionally furnish limited amounts of Market Data to its
customers and clients and to its branch offices. Customer may do so notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Paragraph 5 and subject to such additional limitations as NYSE may specify in writing. Customer may
so furnish Market Data to its customers and clients who are not on Customer's premises solely (i) in written
advertisements, educational material, sales literature or similar written communications or (ii) during telephone
conversations not entailing the use of computerized voice synthesization, other electronic communication or
similar technology. Customer may so furnish Market Data to its branch offices solely (i) as the preceding
sentence permits or (ii) through manual entry over its communications network. Customer shall not permit any
customer or client to take physical possession of any component of the equipment and software used for or in
connection with any Service, except as Exhibit A may 


otherwise provide. 





(f) PERMITTED CONNECTIONS OF TICKER DISPLAY DEVICES -Customer may connect approved
Ticker Display devices to the Transmission Facilities solely (i) for persons, and at locations, that NYSE or
AMEX, as appropriate, has approved for that purpose 


and (ii) as described and in the manner specified in Exhibit A. Customer shall assure that any Ticker Display
device complies with all NYSE requirements for content, format and timeliness. 





6. SERVICE AND SECURITY VARIATIONS AND SUPPLEMENTS -Customer shall submit for NYSE's
approval a description of any proposed, non-trivial variation or supplement to or deletion from any receipt,
redissemination, other use or display of Market Data or to any Market Data security safeguard. Customer shall
not implement any such variation, supplement or deletion unless NYSE approves its description in writing,
whereupon Exhibit A shall incorporate the description. Customer understands that NYSE may 


not approve a proposed variation, supplement or deletion and that it acts at its own risk if any significant effort
is expended in development prior to NYSE's approval. Customer further understands that an approved variation
or supplement may be subject to one or more additional or substituted charges payable pursuant to Paragraph
10. 





PART II: SECURITY





7. TRANSMISSION AND EQUIPMENT SECURITY 


(a) PROTECTION OF TRANSMISSIONS AND EQUIPMENT -Customer shall assure that Service-related
data processing, transmission and communications equipment and software are arranged and protected so that,
so far as reasonably possible, no person can have unauthorized access to Market Data. 





(b) SECURITY BREACHES AND REVISION -Customer shall assure that the security safeguards that Exhibit
A describes are enforced. If, in its sole discretion, NYSE determines that one or more persons have unauthorized
access to Market Data, Customer shall, in accordance with Paragraph 6, take all steps necessary to alter the
security safeguards and the manner of its receipt or transmission of Market Data so as to preclude the access.
Customer shall provide NYSE with such evidence as NYSE may request regarding the adequacy of those steps.
If NYSE determines those steps to be inadequate, Customer shall promptly comply with any writing instructing
Customer to discontinue transmitting Market Data by the inadequately-safeguarded means. 





(c) INSPECTION -Customer shall assure that any person authorized in writing by NYSE (in respect of all Types
of Market Data) or by AMEX (in respect of Network B Market Data and Other Market Information) has access,
at any reasonable time, to any premises of Customer, any Customer Affiliate, any Service Facilitator or any
person to whom Customer provides Market Data. In the presence of officials in charge of the premises, the
authorized person may (i) examine any component of equipment and software used for the purposes of this
Agreement and located at the premises and (ii) observe the use of Market Data and all operations located or
conducted at the premises, but solely to monitor compliance with this Agreement. This Paragraph 7( c) does not
require Customer to disclose any proprietary information other than as Exhibit A discloses. 





8. SERVICE FACILITATORS AND CUSTOMER AFFILIATES 





(a) SERVICE FACILITATORS -NYSE will determine in its sole discretion whether any person assisting
Customer for the purposes of this Agreement is a "Service Facilitator" and, therefore, is excused from entering
into a separate agreement with NYSE. NYSE will base its determination upon such criteria as (i) the nature and
quantity of the Service-related functions that the person performs and (ii) the extent to which Customer owns,
or is under common ownership with, the person. Customer shall not permit any person other than a common
carrier to assist Customer in providing or performing any aspect of the Service unless (i) NYSE has determined
the person to be a "Service Facilitator" and the person is acting in accordance with, and in the manner specified,
in Exhibit A or (ii) the person has entered into an agreement with NYSE governing the assistance. 





(b) CUSTOMER AFFILIATES -NYSE will determine in its sole discretion whether any "control relationship"
between Customer and any person qualifies the person as a "Customer Affiliate" for the purposes of this
Agreement. Subject to the charges to which Paragraph 10( a) refers and to the other applicable provisions of
this Agreement, Customer may provide any Subscriber Service to partners or officers and employees of
Customer Affiliates. For that purpose, any such partner, officer or employee is deemed "a partner, officer or
employee of Customer". 





(c) CUSTOMER'S GUARANTEE -Customer unconditionally guarantees that each Service Facilitator and
Customer Affiliate (i) will fully comply with the provisions of this Agreement that protect against unauthorized
access to Market Data, that relate to installation, maintenance and inspection, or that otherwise apply in respect
of the Service Facilitator or Customer Affiliate to the same extent as if it had entered into this Agreement and
(ii) will not cause Customer to fail to comply with this Agreement. Customer shall inform each Service
Facilitator and Customer Affiliate of all relevant provisions of this Agreement and shall promptly provide NYSE
with a full description whenever it learns that a Service Facilitator or Customer Affiliate has failed to so comply
or has caused Customer to fail to comply. 





(d) CURE AND DISCONTINUANCE OF ACCESS -Whenever NYSE notifies Customer in writing that it has
determined that a Service Facilitator or Customer Affiliate has failed to act in accordance with, or in the manner
specified in, this Agreement, Customer shall promptly cure the breach or rectify the failure. If NYSE so instructs,
Customer shall discontinue giving Market Data access to the partners, officers and employees of the Customer
Affiliate, or using the Service Facilitator, under this Agreement. 





9. COOPERATION AS TO UNAUTHORIZED RECEIPT 





(a) PREVENTION AND DISCOVERY -Customer shall use best efforts to assure that no "Unauthorized
Recipient" obtains Market Data from Customer or from equipment and software that Customer uses for the
Services. As to any Type of Market Data, an "Unauthorized Recipient" is any person other than a Data
Recipient, Customer Affiliate or Service Facilitator in its authorized access to that Type of Market Data. If an
Unauthorized Recipient does so obtain Market Data, Customer shall use its best efforts to ascertain the source
and manner of acquisition, shall fully and promptly brief NYSE, and shall promptly pay the applicable amounts
described in Paragraph 10. Customer shall otherwise cooperate and assist in any investigation relating to any
unauthorized receipt of Market Data made available pursuant to this 


Agreement. 





(b) CUSTOMER COOPERATION AND ASSIGNMENT -Any one or more Authorizing SROs may sue or
otherwise proceed against any Unauthorized Recipient, including suing or proceeding to prevent the
Unauthorized Recipient from obtaining, or from using, any Type of Market Data that it or they make available.
If any one or more Authorizing SROs institute any suit or other proceeding against the Unauthorized Recipient,
Customer, unless made a defendant in the suit or proceeding, 





(i) shall assure that it and Customer Affiliates and Service Facilitators (if any) cooperate with and assist
the Authorizing SRO( s) in the suit or proceeding in all reasonable respects, provided that the
Authorizing SRO( s) reimburse Customer for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses; and 





(ii) if the one or more Authorizing SROs so elect in writing, shall assure that all of Customer's,
Customer Affiliates' and Service Facilitators' right, title and interest in the suit or proceeding and in its
subject matter will be assigned to the Authorizing SRO( s). 





If the one or more Authorizing SROs elect the assignment, it or they shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend
Customer against any cost, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that arises out of or results
from the suit or proceeding. 





(c) THIRD PARTY SUITS AGAINST CUSTOMER -If any person brings a suit or other proceeding to enjoin
Customer, any Customer Affiliate or any Service Facilitator from refusing to furnish any Type of Market Data
to any Unauthorized Recipient, Customer shall promptly notify NYSE. The Authorizing SRO( s) that make that
Type of Market Data available may intervene in the suit or proceeding in the name of Customer, the Customer
Affiliate or the Service Facilitator, as appropriate, and, through counsel chosen by the intervening Authorizing
SRO( s), may assume the defense of the action on behalf of Customer, the Customer Affiliate or the Service
Facilitator. Intervening Authorizing SROs shall jointly and severally indemnify, hold harmless and defend
Customer against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that arises out of or results
from the suit or proceeding. 





(d) WITHDRAWAL OF RECIPIENT APPROVAL -If NYSE or AMEX, as appropriate, notifies Customer in
writing that the Authorizing SRO( s) have terminated the right of any authorized recipient to receive any Type
of Market Data, Customer (i) shall cease furnishing that Type of Market Data to the person within five business
days of the notice and (ii) shall, within ten business days, confirm the cessation, and inform NYSE or AMEX,
as appropriate, of the cessation date, by notice. 








(e) CUSTOMER INDEMNIFIED -If Customer refuses to furnish, or to continue to furnish, to any person any
Type of Market Data solely because NYSE has notified Customer in writing that the Authorizing SRO( s) do
not authorize, or no longer authorize, the person to receive that Type of Market Data, the Authorizing SRO(
s) shall jointly and severally indemnify, hold harmless and defend Customer from and against (i) any suit or other
proceeding that arises from the refusal and (ii) any liability, loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) that Customer incurs as a result of the suit or proceeding. The Authorizing SRO( s) shall have
sole control of the defense of any such suit or proceeding and of all negotiations for its settlement or
compromise. Customer's prompt notice to NYSE of any such suit or proceeding is a condition to Customer's
rights under this Paragraph 9( e). Those rights do not apply when Customer ceases to furnish Market Data to
a person, or in a manner, not authorized by NYSE. 





PART III: PAYMENTS, RECORDS AND REPORTS





10. PAYMENTS 





(a) GENERAL CHARGES -Customer shall pay NYSE or AMEX, as appropriate, in United States dollars the
applicable charge( s) from time to time in effect. Customer shall pay any amounts due in accordance with such
procedures, and within such time parameters, as NYSE or AMEX, as appropriate, may specify from time to time
and shall pay any applicable tax (excluding any income tax imposed on any Authorizing SRO in respect of any
such amount). The Authorizing SROs will provide Customer with 30 days' notice of any changes in the charge(
s) payable by Customer. 





(b) CHARGES FOR UNAUTHORIZED INSTALLATIONS -If NYSE or AMEX, as appropriate, notifies
Customer that it has determined in its sole discretion that Customer has made any unauthorized or unreported
provision or use of Market Data made available to Customer under this Agreement (including the improper
receipt described in Paragraph 10( d)), Customer shall pay (i) any applicable charge( s) that would have been
imposed on Customer, a Data Recipient or an Unauthorized Recipient in respect of a provision or use, whether
by Customer or by a Data Recipient or Unauthorized Recipient, had it been authorized or reported and (ii) an
administrative fee equal to ten percent of those charges. Customer's payment obligations apply regardless of
whether a person responsible for an unauthorized provision or use received the Market Data from Customer
directly or from a person in the chain of dissemination that began with an unauthorized provision or use by
Customer. The Authorizing SROs reserve the right to recover punitive damages for any deliberate breach of
good faith and the like. 





(c) INTEREST ON UNPAID AMOUNTS -If Customer has not paid any amounts payable pursuant to
Paragraph 10( a) within the applicable time parameters, Customer shall pay interest on the unpaid amount. That
interest begins to accrue on the 31st day after the payment's due date. Customer shall also pay interest in respect
of amounts payable pursuant to Paragraph 10( b)( i). That interest begins to accrue as of the date on which the
amount would have been payable had the provision or use of Market Data been properly authorized or reported.
The interest payable under this Paragraph 10( c) will equal the lesser of (i) one and one-half percent per month
and (ii) the maximum rate of interest that applicable law permits. 





(d) SUBROGATION AND RETURNS -If Customer has paid all amounts due in respect of any Unauthorized
Recipient (i) Customer becomes subrogated to all rights of the Authorizing SROs to recover amounts from the
Unauthorized Recipient and (ii) NYSE or AMEX, as appropriate, will return to Customer any amounts
subsequently received from the Unauthorized Recipient, less any associated collection and administrative
expenses. 





11. RECORDS AND REPORTS 





(a) RECORDS MAINTENANCE AND PRESERVATION -Customer shall maintain such billing records,
reports, information, subscriber agreements and other documents as NYSE or AMEX, as appropriate, may
reasonably require from time to time to permit the Authorizing SROs to bill for applicable charges and to
monitor compliance with this Agreement. Customer shall have the ability to retrieve each such item as it applies
to any NYSE-specified criterion, such as a particular Service, Data Recipient, location or account number.
Customer shall preserve each such item for not less than three years. 





(b) ACCESS TO RECORDS -During the term of this Agreement and for three years thereafter, Customer shall
assure that any authorized representative of NYSE (in respect of all Types of Market Data) or of AMEX (in
respect of Network B Market Data and Other Market Information) is able (i) to examine Customer's books and
records relating to the Services (including, among other items, the items Customer must maintain pursuant to
Paragraph 11(a)), (ii) to copy those books and records and extract information from them and (iii) to otherwise
perform any auditing functions necessary to verify Customer's compliance with this Agreement. 





(c) REPORTING -NYSE (in respect of all Types of Market Data) and AMEX (in respect of Network B Market
Data and Other Market Information) may from time to time require Customer to furnish or report all or some
of the items that Paragraph 11(a) requires Customer to maintain. Customer understands that NYSE or AMEX
may require Customer (i) to so furnish or report some or all of those items upon occurrences of specified events
and/ or on a periodic basis and (ii) to provide detailed summaries. At the request of NYSE or AMEX, as
appropriate, Customer shall have audited, by an independent certified public accountant satisfactory to the
requesting exchange, a list of all Data Recipients and any other reasonably requested list, report or information
relating to Customer's redissemination or other use of Market Data. Customer shall comply with this Paragraph
11( c) by such methods, in such format and within such time parameters as NYSE or AMEX may reasonably
specify. 





(d) RELIABILITY OF CUSTOMER'S RECORDS -Customer shall use its best efforts (including the insertion
of appropriate terms in Customer's agreements with Data Recipients, Customer Affiliates and Service
Facilitators) to assure that Customer is supplied with timely, complete and accurate information so that
Customer, in complying with this Paragraph 11, maintains and supplies NYSE and AMEX with timely, complete
and accurate information. Those efforts shall include the use of such entitlement controls as Exhibit A may
describe. NYSE recognizes that certain information is beyond Customer's control (such as information
identifying Service-related equipment and software that Customer has not supplied, installed or made available).
Subject to the best efforts requirement of this Paragraph 11(d),  Customer's obligations under this Paragraph 11
apply to information of this type only to the extent Customer has received it.

loss, cost, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by or threatened against the
Disseminating Parties that arises out of or relates to 





(a) any use of Market Data other than as this Agreement provides by Customer, a Customer Affiliate
or a Service Facilitator, or 


(b) any claim that either any component of the equipment and software used for the purposes of this
Agreement (excluding any equipment and software Customer or Service Facilitators (if any) do not
supply, install or make available to, or operate or maintain for, a Data Recipient) or the manner of the
use made of the component or of Market Data provided pursuant to this Agreement infringes any
United States or foreign patent or copyright or violates any other property right. 





NYSE's provision to Customer of prompt written notice of the suit or proceeding is a condition to Customer's
obligations under the preceding sentence. Customer shall have sole control of the defense of the suit or
proceeding and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise. 





14. DATA NOT GUARANTEED -The Disseminating Parties do not guarantee the timeliness, sequence,
accuracy or completeness of Market Data made available, or of other market information or messages
disseminated, by any Disseminating Party. No Disseminating Party will be liable in any way to Customer or to
any other person for 





(a) any inaccuracy, error or delay in, or omission of, (i) any such data, information or message, or (ii)
the transmission or delivery of any such data, information or message, or 





(b) any loss or damage arising from or occasioned by (i) any such inaccuracy, error, delay or omission,
(ii) non-performance, or (iii) interruption in any such data, information or message, 





due either to any negligent act or omission by any Disseminating Party or to any "Force Majeure" (i. e., any
flood, extraordinary weather conditions, earthquake or other act of God, fire, war, insurrection, riot, labor
dispute, accident, action of government, communications or power failure, or equipment or software
malfunction) or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of any Disseminating Party. 





15. NO SPONSORSHIP -Customer shall assure that neither Customer nor any Customer Affiliate or Service
Facilitator represents, either directly or indirectly, that any Disseminating Party sponsors or endorses in any
manner Customer, any other person, any particular use of Market Data or any equipment and software. 





16. ARBITRATION -The parties shall settle any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, or to its breach or alleged breach, by arbitration in New York, New York under the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator( s) may issue injunctive and other
equitable relief, but may not modify this Agreement. Either party may enter in any court having jurisdiction
judgment upon any award that the arbitrator( s) render. For the purposes of so entering any such judgment, each
party submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York. Nothing in this Paragraph 16 derogates
any right Customer, any Authorizing SRO, or any other person may have to appeal to the Securities and
Exchange Commission any action taken or any failure to act under the 1934 Act, or any of its rules, or to pursue
any claim relating to the unauthorized publication or use of communications under the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, at any time, whether before or after the commencement of any arbitration proceeding. 





17. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION -Upon its execution by each party, this Agreement becomes
effective as of the date first above written. Upon becoming effective, this Agreement supersedes each previous

Agreement continues in effect until terminated as this Paragraph 17 provides. Subject to Paragraph 4, either
Customer or NYSE may terminate this Agreement as to one or more Types of Market Data on 30 days' written
notice to the other. In addition, this Agreement terminates upon NYSE's withdrawal from the Plans and
terminates as to Other Market Information and either Plan's Network B Market Data upon AMEX's withdrawal
from that Plan. NYSE shall give Customer 30 days' written notice of any such withdrawal. Insofar as Customer
receives access to Transmission Facilities by means of one or more interfaces with one or more intermediaries,
this Agreement terminates as to that access immediately upon written notice from NYSE that it no longer
approves the interface( s). Paragraphs 8( c), 9, 10, 11, 13, 14 and 16 survive the termination of this Agreement
in general or as to any Type( s) of Market Data. They also survive any Participant's withdrawal from either Plan
as those paragraphs apply to any matter 


arising prior to the withdrawal. 





18. PROVISION OF SERVICE TO NYSE AND AMEX -Upon request by NYSE and/ or AMEX, Customer
shall provide to the requesting exchange, free of charge, one subscription to such one or more of Customer's
Services as the request may identify, together with the equipment necessary to receive, display or communicate
the Service( s). NYSE and AMEX shall use such subscriptions solely for purposes of demonstrating the Service(
s) and monitoring Customer's compliance with this Agreement. 





19. MISCELLANEOUS

aspects of Customer's receipt and use of Market Data. This Agreement incorporates Exhibit C. This writing,

matter. No oral or written collateral representation, agreement or understanding exists except as this Agreement
may otherwise provide. 





(b) MODIFICATIONS -In keeping with Paragraph 19( g), NYSE may, by written notice to Customer, modify
this Agreement as necessary to cause this Agreement to comply, or to be consistent, with any modification to
or replacement of the 1934 Act, the rules under the 1934 Act, or either Plan. Subject to Paragraphs 5( d) and

of them.

requirements, and otherwise to act, in respect of a variety of matters. The Authorizing SROs shall perform those
