Exhibit 10.25
OPTIONAL SERVICE DELIVERY
AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of August 18, 1993 between BLOOMBERG L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership with offices at 499 Park Avenue, New York, New York
10022 ("Bloomberg"), and McCARTHY, CRISANTI & MAFFEI, INC., a New York
corporation with offices at 71 Broadway, New York, New York 10006 ("Source").
WHEREAS, Bloomberg owns and distributes a world-wide electronic
network by means of on-line computer terminals ("THE BLOOMBERG")* consisting of
software, data and equipment for the electronic delivery of financial market
information and analytic services (the "Bloomberg Services"); and
WHEREAS, Source publishes the services listed and described in
Exhibit A to this Agreement (the "Source Services"); and
WHEREAS, Source currently distributes all or some of the Source
Services via Telerate Systems Incorporated and Quotron; and
WHEREAS, Source desires to provide the Source Services through THE
BLOOMBERG to current and potential subscribers of Bloomberg.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties, in consideration of the premises and
mutual covenants contained herein, agree as follows:
------------------
* BLOOMBERG, THE BLOOMBERG, Bloomberg L.P., and BLOOMBERG FINANCIAL
MARKETS are trademarks, trade names and service marks of
Bloomberg L.P., a Delaware limited partnership.
1. Distributor; Non-Exclusivity; New Source Services.
(a) Distributor.
(i) Appointment. Source hereby appoints Bloomberg, and
Bloomberg hereby agrees to serve as, a non-exclusive distributor of Source for
the term set forth in Section 10 for the limited purpose of marketing and
distributing the Source Services worldwide to Bloomberg Subscribers, as defined
below, who also subscribe to the Source Services ("Source Subscribers"), all in
accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. "Subscribers" shall mean those
persons or entities authorized by Source subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, to access all or part of the information and services via THE BLOOMBERG
through which one or more of the Source Services are made available.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bloomberg shall not deliver the Source Services
to those persons set forth in Exhibit B, as such exhibit is modified from time
to time, with any modifications being implemented by Bloomberg as soon as
possible, but in no event later than thirty (30) days from the giving of notice.
Source agrees it will authorize the release of the Source Services to a
Subscriber via THE BLOOMBERG if it has authorized the release of such services
to such Source Subscriber via another third party vendor.
(ii) No Implied Duties. The parties agree that Bloomberg's
duties as distributor of Source shall be limited to those expressly set forth in
this Agreement. Bloomberg shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of Source and
shall not have any implied duties that might otherwise be imposed upon a
distributor of Source.
(b) Non-Exclusivity. The parties acknowledge and agree that the
appointment of Bloomberg as distributor of Source for the
purpose of distributing the Source Services shall be on a
non-exclusive basis. Source retains the right to distribute
itself or permit other third parties to distribute one or
more of the Source Services or services substantially
-2-
similar thereto. Source represents that the Source Services
available for distribution via THE BLOOMBERG will include,
at a minimum, all Source Services distributed by Source via
other third party network vendors (with the exception of
the Fintrend service produced by Fintrend S.A.).
(c) New Source Services. Bloomberg grants to Source the option
to distribute any electronically distributed information
service hereafter developed by Source that is not listed in
Exhibit A (a "New Source Service"). If Source elects to
exercise its option under this subsection (c) with respect
to a New Source Service, such New Source Service shall fall
within the definition of Source Service under this
Agreement, and the distribution of such New Source Service
shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Source
agrees to distribute via THE BLOOMBERG any New Source
Service distributed via any other electronic delivery
system.
2. Inputting; Accessibility; Display; Accuracy.
(a) Inputting and Use of Services.
(i) Generally. Source shall input the Source Services into
THE BLOOMBERG by means of a Bloomberg protocol as set forth in Exhibit C.
Bloomberg and Source shall mutually agree on the format of display of the Source
Services. Bloomberg shall provide Source with subscriptions to the "basic"
portion of the Bloomberg Services through the terminals listed in Exhibit C for
no charge which will also be used by Source to authorize the release and
termination of Source Services to Source Subscribers. Source agrees to execute
the standard form of the Bloomberg agreement relating to such terminals, as
modified per the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In addition, Bloomberg,
upon the execution of this
-3-
Agreement, will order and install at each Source US and foreign location
(including, but not by way of limitation, New York, London, Tokyo, Singapore and
Fintrend S.A.'s location in Paris) any and all of the necessary equipment
including, but not by way of limitation, the equipment as set forth on Exhibit C
required by Source to deliver the Source Services pursuant to this Agreement at
no cost to Source. Bloomberg agrees to provide such additional equipment and
upgrades to existing equipment to Source locations from time to time during the
term of this Agreement and any extensions thereof, requested by Source for the
purpose of delivering the Source Services pursuant to this Agreement at no cost
to Source. Source shall be responsible for any costs associated with cabling or
other modifications necessary within its locations. Source may access at no
charge all of the Bloomberg Services generated by Bloomberg and all "optional"
services distributed by Bloomberg, at whatever price is agreed to between Source
and such "optional service" providers, with written approval by the providers of
such optional services. Bloomberg will transmit with Source Services any
copyright notices, legends or disclaimers it receives with such Source Services
from Source.
(ii) Use of Source's Proprietary Services. Notwithstanding
any provision of subsection (i) that may be to the contrary, Bloomberg, subject
to the prior written consent of Source, shall have the right to access the
Source Services; provided that Source shall have the right to deny Bloomberg
access to any Source Service in circumstances where Bloomberg uses such service
in a way that competes with the sale of such service by Source or any of its
affiliates. Bloomberg shall not use Source Services or information provided
therein with or as part of Bloomberg's own products and services. The rights
specified in this subsection (ii) shall be in addition to, and not in limitation
of, any other remedies the parties may have.
(b) Accessibility of Source Services. Bloomberg will attempt to
make the Source Services available through the various
Bloomberg networks, other than THE BLOOMBERG, whenever
Bloomberg determines it is
-4-
commercially practical to do so. Distribution by Bloomberg
of a Source Service that is first made available through a
network (in addition to THE BLOOMBERG) after the date
hereof pursuant to the terms of this subsection (b) shall
be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(c) Accuracy of Information. Source shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to (i) insure that the information in
the Source Services is accurate, and (ii) correct
inaccuracies, errors or defects in such information
promptly after discovery. Source shall monitor such
information as it is distributed through THE BLOOMBERG and
promptly correct any inaccuracies, errors or defects
therein.
3. Promotion and Marketing.
(a) Efforts and Materials.
(i) Marketing. Source and Bloomberg shall exercise
commercially reasonable efforts to market and promote subscriptions to the
Source Services to be accessed through THE BLOOMBERG. From time to time during
the term of this Agreement, but no less frequently than once a calendar quarter,
Bloomberg shall profile or otherwise promote the Source Services on THE
BLOOMBERG or in promotional materials.
(ii) Materials. Neither party shall publish or distribute
any advertising or promotional material regarding the availability of the Source
Services through THE BLOOMBERG without the prior written consent of the other,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Materials being sent to the
other party for approval pursuant to this subsection (a) shall be directed to
the person(s) designated in Exhibit D hereto.
-5-
(b) Subscriber List. To facilitate Source's promotional
efforts, Bloomberg shall provide to Source access at any
time to the following information VIA THE BLOOMBERG: (i)
the complete list of Bloomberg Subscribers globally; and
(ii) on a weekly basis, all new installations during the
previous week. In addition, Bloomberg will provide Source
quarterly with a physical printout of all customers
authorized for Source Services. Bloomberg represents and
warrants that all reports shall be accurate and complete in
all material respects and correctly reflect the number of
subscriptions and those having access to the Source
Services.
(c) Demonstration Periods; Trade Shows. Bloomberg agrees to
promote and market the Source Services, subject to the
terms contained in the last sentence of Section 1(a)(i), by
making one or more of the Source Services available free of
charge to Bloomberg Subscribers for up to thirty (30) days
upon the request of Source. The preceding provision shall
not be deemed to increase Bloomberg's obligations to market
and promote subscriptions to the Source Services set forth
in subsection (a) of this Section 3. In addition, Bloomberg
agrees to provide terminals at no cost to Source for up to
twelve (12) trade show exhibits annually in which Source
participates; provided, however, that Source shall bear
shipping, installation and communications costs. Source
will provide Bloomberg thirty (30) days' prior notice of
the date of said trade shows.
4. Fees; Service Agreement.
(a) Billing; Fees. Source shall bill Source Subscribers in the
United States on a regular basis for subscriptions to the
Source Services. At Source's request, a representative of
Source will be trained to use the Bloomberg terminal to
entitle Source Subscribers to view the Source Services and
Bloomberg shall bill Source Subscribers outside the United
States, on a
-6-
regular basis for subscriptions to all Source Services.
Fees for subscriptions to the Source Services shall be
determined by Source in its respective geographic regions
in its sole discretion. Source agrees that it will make
changes in published subscription fees to the Source
Services only once per year, which shall, except as set
forth below, be effective anywhere other than Japan on
January 1 and in Japan on April 1, and will give Bloomberg
no less than one hundred twenty (120) days' prior written
notice of any such change. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
all new Source Subscribers who become Source Subscribers
within said one hundred twenty (120) day pre-effective
period, shall be charged the new subscription fees.
Bloomberg covenants that it will inform all Source
Subscribers by way of notices on THE BLOOMBERG of the new
fees and shall implement the new fee schedule at the times
provided for herein. Source agrees that it will not charge
a Source Subscriber any more money for its subscription to
the Source Services delivered pursuant to this Agreement
than it will charge said Source Subscriber for the Source
Services received by other third party vendors. The parties
agree that Source may require Bloomberg to terminate
distribution of the Source Services to Source Subscribers
that are severely in arrears in paying their subscription
fees; provided, however, Source agrees to indemnify
Bloomberg from damages sustained solely related to such
termination. Source Subscribers shall be deemed severely in
arrears for purposes hereof when they become six months
behind in payments. The parties agree that the party
responsible for billing shall comply with all applicable
Country, State and local laws and regulations, including
but not limited to all taxing laws and regulations.
(b) Bloomberg Service Agreements. In those jurisdictions where
Bloomberg is billing Source Subscribers for their use of
the Source Services,
-7-
Confidential Materials omitted and filed separately with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote omissions.
Bloomberg shall provide the applicable Bloomberg Service
Agreement to each subscriber to the Source Services and
shall not grant any subscriber access to any Source Service
(except on a trial basis) until it has obtained an executed
copy of the applicable Bloomberg Service Agreement from
such subscriber. Bloomberg agrees that it will not consent
to a request by a Source Subscriber who seeks to store,
modify, reproduce in any form, redisseminate, recirculate
or republish in any form the Source Services without the
prior written consent of Source, which consent shall be at
Source's sole discretion. Copies of representative
Bloomberg Service Agreements currently being used are
attached as Exhibit E. Bloomberg shall provide Source with
a copy of material amendments to said Bloomberg Service
Agreements within ten (10) days after such amendments are
implemented. Source shall not make any statement regarding
any Bloomberg Service that is contradictory or inconsistent
with the then-current version of the applicable Bloomberg
Service Agreement.
(c) Source's Service Agreement. In jurisdictions in which
Source is billing Source Subscribers for their use of the
Source Services, Source may provide the Source Services via
a written or oral Service Agreement. A copy of the written
Service Agreement that Source initially will use in
jurisdictions where it will bill Source Subscribers for
their use of the Source Services and a copy of Source's
price lists currently in effect are attached as Exhibit F.
5. Charges/Fees.
(a) Bloomberg Fee. *******************************************
**********************************************************
*********************************************************.
-8-
(b) Sales Commission and Fee. Bloomberg and its authorized
distributors shall not be entitled to any fee or commission
for subscriptions to a Source Service sold to a Bloomberg
Subscriber by a salesperson working for Bloomberg or an
Authorized Distributor outside the United States unless
Source deems the payment of a fee or commission
appropriate.
(c) Billing. No later than the twentieth of each month,
Bloomberg will present Source with a list of all Source
Subscribers to be billed for that month, and the amount to
be billed. Source will review the list and notify Bloomberg
of any discrepancies within five (5) business days. By the
end of each month, Bloomberg will pay Source the amount
listed on the report. If Source notifies Bloomberg of any
adjustments, Bloomberg will make such adjustments on the
following month's payment. Source understands that
Bloomberg invoices customers every three months in arrears.
Furthermore, Source understands that Bloomberg does not
invoice based on usage. Bloomberg only invoices in monthly
increments.
Bloomberg reserves the right to take a credit on future payments to
Source, if, after Bloomberg has made reasonable efforts to collect payment on
charges for Source Services, Bloomberg has not received payment. Bloomberg may,
at its discretion, credit the subscribers' invoice and deduct the amount of the
invoice from a future payment to Source.
Bloomberg will bear responsibility for charging sales, usage, or
Value Added Tax, whichever is appropriate, and remitting the tax to the
appropriate taxing authorities.
(d) Records. Bloomberg shall maintain complete and accurate
books and records (collectively, the "Records") with
respect to all amounts it billed
-9-
to Source Subscribers in respect of subscriptions to the
Source Services. Source shall have the right upon at least
thirty (30) days' prior written notice to inspect the
Records of Bloomberg during normal business hours no more
frequently than twice per year. All information gained by
Source from such inspection will be kept in strict
confidence and will be used solely for the purpose of
verifying the accuracy of the computation of the amounts
due hereunder.
6. Copyright.
Source represents and warrants to Bloomberg that Source or its
licensors to the best of its and their knowledge own the Source Services and the
copyrights thereto, and that Source has the right to authorize Bloomberg to
distribute the Source Services under this Agreement. Bloomberg agrees it is not
acquiring under this Agreement any proprietary interest in the Source Services
and agrees not to challenge the claim of Source or its licensors to the
ownership of the Source Services and the measures requested by Source to make
the copyright claim of Source or its licensors known to Source Subscribers and
to assist Source, at Source's expense, in Source's defense or prosecution of any
copyright infringement claim.
7. Maintenance and Circumstances Beyond Parties' Control. Subject to the
provisions set forth in Section 8, neither Bloomberg nor Source will be deemed
in default or liable hereunder if, as a result of any cause or circumstance
beyond such party's reasonable control or any repair work or routine
maintenance, there occurs a delay in or failure or interruption of (i) service
to any Source Subscriber, or (ii) transmission of the Source Services. So long
as any such failure continues, the party responsible for such service or
transmission will use its reasonable best efforts to eliminate such conditions
and will keep the other party fully informed at all times concerning the matters
causing such delay or default and the prospects for their termination.
-10-
8. Indemnification.
(a) By Source. In the event any claim is brought by a third
party against Bloomberg that relates to, arises out of or
is based upon the Source Services or the failure of Source
to comply with any law, rule or regulation, Bloomberg shall
promptly notify Source, and Source shall defend such claim
at Source's expense and under Source's control. Source
shall indemnify and hold harmless Bloomberg against any
judgment, liability, loss, cost or damage (including
litigation costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) arising
from or related to such claim whether or not such claim is
successful. Bloomberg shall have the right, at its expense,
to participate in the defense of such claim through counsel
of its own choosing; provided, however, that Source shall
not be required to pay any settlement amount that it has
not approved in advance.
(b) By Bloomberg. In the event any claim is brought by any
third party against Source that relates to, arises out of
or is based upon any error, delay, interruption or other
event caused by Bloomberg or its Authorized Distributors in
transmitting the Source Services, Source shall promptly
notify Bloomberg, and Bloomberg shall defend such claim at
Bloomberg's expense and under Bloomberg's control.
Bloomberg shall indemnify and hold harmless Source against
any judgment, liability, loss, cost or damage (including
litigation costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) arising
from or related to such claim, whether or not such claim is
successful. Source shall have the right, at its expense, to
participate in the defense of such claim through counsel of
its own choosing; provided, however, that Bloomberg shall
not be required to pay any settlement amount that it has
not approved in advance.
-11-
9. Representations and Warranties of the Parties. Each party hereby
represents, covenants and warrants to the other as follows:

thereof of whatever nature are designated as "confidential"
and are the proprietary information and trade secrets of
Bloomberg:
(i) the computer software and database possessed by
Bloomberg and all source documents relating to such computer software and
database; provided, however, Source may use the data and analytics within the
Bloomberg terminal to perform analyses relevant to information included in the
Source Services. Source agrees that wherever Bloomberg proprietary data is
referenced directly that Bloomberg will be sourced accordingly.
(ii) proprietary business information of Bloomberg
(including, without limitation, the names and addresses of Subscribers,
information providers
-12-
and suppliers), and business information that Bloomberg does not generally make
available to the public;
(iii) the methods, means, personnel, equipment and software
by and with which Bloomberg provides THE BLOOMBERG; and
(iv) any other information that Bloomberg reasonably
designates, by notice in writing delivered to Source, as being confidential or a
trade secret.
(b) The following materials and information and all copies
thereof of whatever nature are designated as "confidential"
and are the proprietary information and trade secrets of
Source:
(i) proprietary business information of Source, and
business information that Source does not generally make available to the
public; and
(ii) any other information that Source reasonably
designates, by notice in writing delivered to Bloomberg, as being confidential
or a trade secret.
(c) All such proprietary or confidential information of
Bloomberg or Source shall be kept secret by the Source or
Bloomberg, as the case may be, to the degree it keeps
secret its own confidential or proprietary information.
Such information belonging to either party shall not be
disclosed by the other party to its employees except on a
need-to-know basis or to agents or contractors of such
other party, but may be disclosed by such other party to
state or federal agencies, authorities or courts upon their
order or request provided prompt notice of such order or
request is given by such other party to the party to which
such information belongs, if such notice is legally
permitted. Upon termination of this Agreement, all copies
of such information shall be
-13-
returned to the party to which such information belongs and

or control of such other party.
(d) No information that would otherwise be proprietary or
confidential for the purposes of this Agreement pursuant to
Subsections (a) or (b) above shall be subject to the
restrictions on disclosure imposed by this Section in the
event and to the extent that (i) such information is in, or
becomes part of, the public domain otherwise than through
the fault of the party to which such information does not
belong, (ii) such information was known to such party prior
to the execution of this Agreement, or (iii) such
information was revealed to such party by a third party.
11. Term; Termination.
(a) Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on
the date first above written and shall terminate at the end
of the fifth year (the "Initial Term"). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the parties agree that actual delivery of the
Source Services to Source Subscribers shall not commence
until on or after October 1, 1993. The term of this
Agreement shall automatically be extended for one or more
periods of two years (a "Renewal Term"), unless either
party sends to the other written notice of its election not
to renew at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the
Initial Term, or any Renewal Term, as the case may be.
(b) Default. If either party shall default in the performance
of or compliance with any provision contained in this
Agreement including, but not limited to, any breach of a
representation or warranty, and such default shall not have
been cured within thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof shall have been given to the appropriate party, the
party
-14-
giving such notice may then give further written notice to
such other party terminating this Agreement, in which event
this Agreement and any other rights granted hereunder shall
terminate on the date specified in such further notice.
Each party agrees, in the event of a breach by it of any of
its obligations under this Agreement, the non-breaching
party may seek temporary or permanent injunctive relief,
without the necessity of proving actual damages or the
posting of a bond, as well as other equitable relief, and
will be entitled to commence an action for any such relief
in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) Insolvency. In the event that either party hereto shall be
adjudged insolvent or bankrupt, or upon the institution of
any proceedings by it seeking relief, reorganization or
arrangement under any laws relating to insolvency, or if an
involuntary petition in bankruptcy is filed against such
party and said petition is not discharged within sixty (60)
days after such filing, or upon any assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, or upon the appointment of a
receiver, liquidator or trustee of any of its assets, or
upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of its
business (an "Event of Bankruptcy"), then the party
involved in any such Event of Bankruptcy shall immediately
give notice thereof to the other party, and the other party
at its option may terminate this Agreement upon written
notice.

this Agreement shall continue to be valid and may be
enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
