hereunder, Company shall pay to Employee a base salary of $300,000 per year, payable in
accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company, less required deductions
for state and federal income tax withholding, social security and other required
payroll taxes. The base salary shall be adjusted annually based on the regional CPI
applicable to Chicago, Illinois, with the first adjustment occurring on January 1,
2005.

	 	(b)	 	Employee Benefits. Employee shall be entitled to the standard employee
benefit package made available to employees of the Company, subject to the terms,
conditions and restrictions stated in that package and the applicable benefit plan
documents. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the termination payments available

eliminate employee benefits, which changes shall become effective immediately.

(5) Confidential Information:

	 	(a)	 	Company Information. Employee agrees at all times during the term of

proprietary information subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the
confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes.
Employee agrees to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the
strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to
use it except as necessary in carrying out Employee’s work for the Company consistent
with the Company’s agreement with such third party.

nor will he engage in any other activities that conflict with his obligations to the
Company.

(7) Covenant Not to Compete.

Employee acknowledges that the Company has invested substantial time, effort and expense in
compiling its confidential, trade secret information and in assembling its present staff of
personnel. In order to protect the confidentiality of the Company’s proprietary trade
secret information, Employee agrees that, during his employment and for 12 months from the

communicate to solicit business from any customer of the Company who he obtained knowledge
of through his employment with the Company; (ii) approach, contact or otherwise communicate
to solicit business from any customer of the Company with the use or assistance of
Confidential Information of the Company; or (iii) use Confidential Information of the
Company to interfere with the business relationship of the Company or the Company’s
subsidiaries with any customers which are presently existing, or which are existing on the
date of termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, in connection with a
competing business purpose.

and all devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence,
specifications, drawings, blueprints, sketches, materials, equipment, other documents or
property, or reproductions of any aforementioned items developed by Employee pursuant to his

assigns. In the event of the termination of Employee’s employment, Employee agrees to sign
and deliver a certification stating he has fully compiled with this provision.

consent to the Company to notify Employee’s new employer of Employee’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement.

termination of his employment with the Company, whether with or without cause, he shall not
either directly or indirectly solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of the Company’s

induce, recruit, encourage or take away employees of the Company, either for himself or for
any other person or entity.

BONUS AGREEMENT

This Bonus Agreement is an exhibit to the January 1, 2004 Employment Agreement entered into by and
between HyperFeed Technologies, Inc. (“Company”) and Paul Pluschkell (“Employee”).

The terms of the Bonus Agreement are as follows:

	 	(1)	 	Employee will receive an annual bonus based on the percentage of increase in the Company’s
audited net earnings for a given year over the prior calendar year before tax and before
executive bonus accruals for the Company’s management.

	 	(2)	 	The amount of the bonus will be determined by multiplying said percentage of increase in net
earnings over the prior year (“Net Earnings”) by 100% of Employee’s annual base salary for
said given year.

(3) There will be no cap or maximum amount of the bonus payable to Employee.

(4) Any bonus earned by and awarded to Employee shall be paid to Employee as follows:

	 	(a)	 	50% of said bonus shall be paid to Employee promptly after the bonus is
granted, following finalization of the Company’s audited financial statements; and

	 	(b)	 	The remaining 50% of said bonus shall be paid to Employee at the end of the
first quarter of the following year.

	 	(5)	 	In the event Net Earnings decrease in a given year when compared to the prior year, the net
earnings used to determine a bonus the following year shall consist of the highest annual net
earnings of the Company in any of the preceding three (3) years.

	 	(6)	 	The Company shall withhold and deduct all payroll taxes, including state and federal
withholding taxes, from bonus payments before payment to Employee.

	 	(7)	 	If Employee is terminated by the Company without cause as defined in the HyperFeed Employee
Handbook, the Company shall pay to Employee the pro rata amount of a bonus earned through the
date of termination in accordance with the calculation in Section (2) above, plus the amount
of any unpaid bonus accruals as outlined in Section (4) (b) above.

	 	(8)	 	If Employee is terminated by the Company for cause as defined in the HyperFeed Employee
Handbook, or if Employee voluntarily terminates employment with the Company, Employee will not
be eligible to receive the pro rata amount of any bonus for the year of such termination, and
Employee shall forfeit the right to receive any unpaid bonus accruals, detailed in Section (4)
(b) above, from prior years.

	 	(9)	 	The first calendar year for which this Bonus Agreement is in effect shall be 2004. This

EXHIBIT B

HYPERFEED TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

CODE OF ETHICS

A. GENERAL ENUNCIATION OF COMPANY POLICY

	 	1.	 	HyperFeed Technologies, Inc. (“Company”) has confidence in the loyalty and integrity
of all members of their staffs. Proof of their high ethical standards has been
demonstrated on numerous occasions. With the current emphasis being given the subject of
conflicts of interest, however, the Board of Directors considers it desirable to
re-emphasize the traditional policy of the Company on this subject and to publish this
statement as a guide to all those, including directors, officers and employees who might,
by reason of their Company duties, find themselves in a position where their personal
interest could conflict with that of the Company and its shareholders. It is vitally
important that both the fact and the appearance of conflicting interests be avoided.

The purpose of this statement is to indicate certain areas in which our policy particularly
applies, so that conflicts of interests in the future may be avoided. It also is intended
to indicate procedures whereby any possible conflicting interests which may arise from time
to time will be disclosed so that, if necessary, corrective action may be taken.

Conflicts of interest may be considered to exist in those instances where the actions or
activities of an individual on behalf of the Company also involve (a) the obtaining of an
improper personal gain or advantage; (b) an adverse effect upon the Company’s interest; or
(c) the obtaining by a third party of an improper gain or advantage.

	 	2.	 	The Company’s business is in large part dependent upon mutual trust and confidence;
therefore, the ethical and legal obligation of officers, directors and employees to act
solely for the benefit of the Company cannot be overemphasized. It must be remembered
that it is not sufficient simply to avoid actual wrongdoing, but also to avoid even the
appearance of wrongdoing because the appearance of wrongdoing can potentially be
as damaging to the Company as actual wrongdoing. It would be impossible to present an
exhaustive list of actions which might be considered as conflicting with, and damaging to,
the Company’s interest. However, it is deemed appropriate to issue this policy statement
reaffirming the Company’s position with regard to possible conflicts of interest.

It is the policy of the Company that no officer, director, or employee should use his/her
position, or the knowledge gained therein, in such a manner that a conflict between the
Company’s interest and his/her personal interest arises.

We believe it would be well to re-emphasize the basic policies in the general area of
conflict of interest and to provide a procedure for disclosure of any material interest or
affiliation which is in or likely to conflict with official duties.

It would be beyond the scope of this statement to enumerate all possible conflicts of
interest; viewed in broad terms; however, the following would be included:

B. PROVISIONS DESCRIBING SPECIFIC SITUATIONS

1. Personal Financial Interest (Investments)

	 	a.	 	Officers, directors and employees are required to disclose any outside
commercial interests which might influence their official decisions or actions. This
would include financial interest in an outside enterprise which has business relations
with the Company, if such interest represents a substantial portion of the net worth
of the officer, director or employee, or a substantial portion of such outside
enterprise; investments in a business which might compete with any of the Company’s
interest.

	 	b.	 	No individual may, without consent of the Company, hold directly or
indirectly (e.g., by a spouse or dependent relative) a material investment in any
business (i) from which the Company buys or to which it sells stocks, bonds or other
securities or (ii) from which the Company secures goods or services, if the individual
is in a position to act for the Company in the acceptance or service of such goods and
services.

	 	c.	 	Each director, officer, and employee shall report to the Company with respect
to any corporation or unincorporated enterprise in which he/she or any member of
his/her immediate family has a material or a substantial interest, and which has in
the past engaged or may in the future engage in transactions with the Company. He/she
shall refrain from knowingly participating in any transaction of the Company in which
he/she or any member of his/her immediate family has a material interest, and the
Company will refrain from entering into any transaction which any corporation or
unincorporated enterprise in which a director, officer, or employee or any member of
his/her family has a substantial interest.

2. Inside Information

	 	a.	 	Each director, officer and employee shall refrain from knowingly buying or
selling, for his/her own account or the account of any member of his/her family, any
security or other interest which the Company may be considering buying or selling, or
has decided to buy or sell, until the Company decision has been completely executed.

He/she shall also refrain from transmitting any knowledge of such considerations or
decision or any other information which might be prejudicial to the interests of the
Company to any person other than in connection with his/her discharge of his/her
Company responsibilities.

	 	b.	 	Confidential Company information received by an officer, director, or
employee in the performance of his/her duties must not be divulged to others nor used
for his/her personal profit.

3. Gratuities (Including Entertainment)

	 	a.	 	The Company opposes acceptance by an individual (or by his/her spouse or
dependent relative) of gifts or other favors from parties with whom the Company has or
may have a business relationship. It is recognized that declining a gift or favor of
nominal value or importance which is intended merely as a token of respect or
friendship irrespective of any particular transaction may cause embarrassment.
Therefore, but only under such circumstances, the gift or favor may be accepted.

Entertainment is, within limits, a normal part of business activity. However, the
giving or receiving of any unusual, excessive or unreasonable entertainment must be
avoided.

	 	b.	 	An individual must not place himself/herself under actual or apparent
obligation to anyone by accepting or permitting his/her spouse or a dependent relative
to accept gifts or other favors where it might appear that they were given for the
purpose of improperly influencing the individual in the performance of his/her Company
duties. This does not preclude the acceptance of items of nominal or minor value and
which are of such a nature as to indicate they are merely tokens of respect or
friendship and not related to any particular transaction.

	 	c.	 	Each officer, director, employee and the members of his/her immediate family
should avoid the receipt of payments, gifts, entertainment or other favors which go
beyond common courtesies usually associated with accepted business practice and
thereby might be regarded as placing him/her under some obligation to a third party
dealing or desiring to deal with the Company.

C. DISCLOSURE IN PERIODIC REPORTS; COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS

The Company recognizes its responsibilities to its shareholders, NASDAQ, the SEC, and the financial
community. The Company’s policy has been and will continue to be that of full, fair, accurate,
timely, and understandable disclosure in all periodic reports required to be filed by the Company,
e.g., Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. The Audit Committee monitors this disclosure on a supervisory
basis, and has emphasized the need for full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure
to the Company’s management as well as to the Company’s outside independent auditors.

Similarly, to fulfill its responsibilities to its shareholders, NASDAQ, the SEC, and the financial
community, the Company’s policy has always been one of full compliance with applicable governmental
rules and regulations, e.g., NASDAQ listing requirements, SEC rules governing periodic reports,
etc. This Code of Ethics will serve as a restatement of the Company’s intent to comply fully with
all governmental rules and regulations.

D. PROVISIONS PRESCRIBING DISCLOSURE PROCEDURE

	 	1.	 	In furtherance of the above and to clarify the position of both the Company and its
directors, officers and employees with respect to present activities and investments, each
individual receiving this statement is directed to submit to the Chairman all facts and
information which may involve a

conflict of interest as described herein. In the case of the Company’s Chairman, such
individuals shall submit to the Company’s Audit Committee all facts and information which
may involve a conflict of interest as described herein. No adverse implication will attach
to any such submission. The information will serve purely as a basis for evaluation and
for discussion with the individual in cases where a possible conflict of interest may
appear to be present.

Each individual shall immediately report to the Chairman new or additional information on
any matter affecting him/her which is covered herein.

	 	2.	 	If at any time an officer, director or employee, or a member of his/her immediate
family finds that he/she has, or is considering the assumption of, a financial interest or
outside relationship which might involve a conflict of interest, or if he/she is in doubt
as to the proper application of this Code

3

	 	•	 	f Ethics, he/she should immediately make all the facts known to the Chairman or
his/her designee and be guided by the instructions he/she receives. Except as otherwise
directed by those instructions, he/she should refrain from exercising responsibility in
any matter which might reasonably be thought to be affected by his/her adverse interest.
