EXHIBIT 10.31



FORM OF USE AND SERVICES LICENSE AGREEMENT



THIS USE AND SERVICES LICENSE AGREEMENT (this Agreement), dated [    ], 2005, is made by and
between BRIDGE TRADING COMPANY, a [    ], having an office at 788 Office Parkway, Creve Coeur, Missouri (Bridge) and REUTERS AMERICA LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Reuters), having an office at
3 Times Square, The Reuters Building, New York, New York.



A.
Reuters owns a building located at 788 Office Parkway, Creve Coeur, Missouri (the Premises).



B. Bridge currently occupies approximately 13,787 square feet at the Premises, including primary use of the trading floor located thereon, more
particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the Occupied Space) pursuant to a verbal agreement with Reuters.



C. The parties wish to memorialize their agreement with respect to the Occupied Space in writing.



Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set forth
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Bridge and Reuters hereby agree as follows:



| | 1. | Occupancy of Office Space. In exchange for a monthly license fee in the amount of $29,583 (the License Fee), Reuters shall continue to grant Bridge a license to use and
occupy the Occupied Space during the Term (as defined below). The License Fee includes the cost of all utilities and other building services, except as provided below. Bridge shall pay Reuters the License Fee in advance, on the first day of each
calendar month during the Term, at the office of Reuters set forth above or such other place as Reuters may designate, without any setoffs or deductions whatsoever. If the Term commences on a day other than the first day of a month [TBD if
necessary]or terminates on a day other than the last day of a month, then the installments of the License Fee for such month or months shall be prorated, based on the number of days in such month. Upon execution and delivery of this Agreement,
Bridge shall pay the first months payment of the License Fee in accordance with the terms of this Section 1. Any amounts payable hereunder which are not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum from the date due until the
date paid.

| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | b. | Bridge shall not use any of Reuters property, supplies or materials including, without limitation, IT-related equipment, office equipment, furniture or phones, except that
Bridge shall (i) be permitted to continue to use all such office equipment, phones and furniture belonging to Reuters that Bridge currently uses at the Occupied Space, for the remainder of the Term, and (ii) be entitled to reasonable use of the
pantry, if any, within the Premises. Further, the parties acknowledge that the Occupied Space shall not be separately demised and, therefore, each party has access to the others premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Reuters and Bridge each

respective employees, agents, contractors, representatives and any other persons entering the Premises of such restriction and require such employees, agents, contractors and representatives to abide by such restriction and (y) immediately return
all originals and any copies of any Confidential Information obtained by the other party in violation of this Section 2(b). Any material violation of this Section 2(b) by Bridge may be deemed a material breach of this Agreement by Bridge
pursuant to which Reuters may immediately terminate this Agreement by written notice to Bridge, which termination shall be effective five (5) days following receipt of such notice.

| | 3. | Term. The term of this Agreement (the Term) shall commence on the date hereof and continue until December 31, 2005, unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section
2(b) or Section 8 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bridge shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time during the Term upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Reuters. Upon the expiration or termination of this
Agreement, Bridge shall quit and surrender to Reuters the Occupied Space in the same condition existing on the date hereof (subject to reasonable wear and tear), and Bridge shall remove all of its property located in the Occupied Space, if any,
provided, that upon such termination or expiration, Bridge shall have no right to the property of Reuters referenced in Section 2(b)(i) including, without limitation, Reuters IT-related equipment, office equipment, phones and office furniture.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to permit Bridge to retain possession of the Occupied Space after Term.

| | 4. | Condition of the Occupied Space: Bridge represents that it has made a thorough inspection of the Occupied Space and agrees to take the same in its condition as is as of
the date hereof and Reuters shall have no obligation to alter, improve or decorate the Occupied Space for Bridges use and occupancy. Bridge shall not make or cause to be made any alterations, installations, improvements, additions or other
physical changes in or about the Occupied Space without Reuters prior consent, which consent may be withheld in Reuters sole discretion.

|8. | Default. In addition to any and all other rights or remedies provided in this Agreement or which Reuters may have at law, in equity, or otherwise, if Bridge shall fail to comply
with any of its obligations under this Agreement and such non-compliance continues for more than 10 days after notice by Reuters to Bridge of such non-compliance, or if such non-compliance is of such a nature that it can be remedied but cannot be
completely remedied within 10 days, Bridge fails to commence to remedy such non-compliance within 10 days after such notice; or, with respect to any such non-compliance, Bridge, having commenced such remedy within 10 days after such notice, fails to
diligently prosecute to completion all steps necessary to remedy such non-compliance within an additional 10 days, then Reuters shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Bridge, and five (5) days following receipt of such
notice, this Agreement shall terminate, and Bridge shall immediately quit and surrender the Occupied Space as required hereby.
|-- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|9. | No Liability: Reuters shall have no liability or responsibility to Bridge, and Bridge shall have no claim against Reuters, for any damage or loss incurred by Bridge with respect to
property located in the Occupied Space, except as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Reuters.
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|10. | Hold Harmless. Bridge agrees to indemnify Reuters against, and hold Reuters harmless from, any loss, cost, expense, claims or demands (including reasonable attorneys fees)
arising (i) by virtue of any accident, damage or injury to persons or property which may be in or upon, or be placed in or upon, the Occupied Space, (ii) by reason of occupation of the Occupied Space by Bridges employees, invitees and agents,
except for damage caused by the gross negligence and willful misconduct of Reuters, or (iii) by reason of Bridges breach of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, excluding, however, any such loss, cost, expense, claims or demands
arising as a result of Reuters gross negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
