• Nature of Undertakings The undertakings given by you under this letter are given to us and (without implying any fiduciary obligations on our part) are also given for the benefit of the Borrower and each other member of the Group.

• Financial Undertakings The Borrower will not enter into or remain liable upon, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to enter into or remain liable upon, any Financial Undertaking, except to the extent required to protect the Borrower and its Subsidiaries against increases in interest payable by them under variable interest Indebtedness.

• Other Undertakings To protect the interests of the Company and its direct and indirect affiliates and subsidiaries (individually, an “IMS Company” and collectively, the “IMS Companies”), including the confidential information of the IMS Companies and the confidential information of their respective customers, data suppliers, prospective customers and other companies with which the IMS Companies have a business relationship, and in consideration of the covenants and promises and other valuable consideration described in this Agreement, the Company and the Participant agree as follows: (a) The Participant acknowledges and agrees that he or she is bound by the confidentiality and other covenants contained in one or more restrictive covenant and confidentiality agreements that he or she has executed with an IMS Company, which covenants and agreements are incorporated herein by reference and shall survive any exercise, expiration, forfeiture or other termination of this Agreement or the SARs issuable hereunder. The Participant also acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall be an affiliate for purposes of such restrictive covenant and confidentiality agreements. (b) The Participant acknowledges that the opportunity to participate in the Plan and the financial benefits that may accrue from such participation, is good, valuable and sufficient consideration for the following: (i) The Participant acknowledges and agrees that he or she is and will remain bound by the non-competition, non-solicitation and other covenants contained in the restrictive covenant and confidentiality agreement(s) that he or she has executed with any of the IMS Companies to the fullest extent permitted by law. (ii) The Participant further acknowledges and agrees that the period during which the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants in such agreement(s) will apply following a termination of Employment shall be extended from twelve (12) months to eighteen (18) months; provided, however, that the remedies available for breach of any non-competition or non-solicitation covenants during such extended six-month period shall be limited to the following: (x) to the extent then outstanding, the forfeiture of the SARs for no consideration, and (y) to the extent the SARs have been exercised on or after the date that is 18 months before Participant’s cessation of Employment, with respect to the shares of Stock issued upon such exercise (including shares withheld for taxes), the Participant shall pay to the Company an amount equal to (A) the aggregate fair market value of such shares of Stock as of the date of exercise, plus (B) the excess, if any, of the aggregate proceeds of all sales of such shares of Stock over the amount described under subsection (A) above. (For this purpose, the Participant’s earliest sales of shares following such exercise will be deemed sales of the shares acquired upon such exercise.) The Company shall also be entitled to the foregoing remedies in the event of a material breach of any confidentiality, non-disclosure or other similar covenant contained in the restrictive covenant and confidentiality agreement(s) that the Participant has executed with an IMS Company. (iii) The Participant further acknowledges and agrees to the Company’s application, implementation and enforcement of (a) such policy set forth in Section 8(b)(ii) of this Agreement and (b) any provision of applicable law or Company policy relating to cancellation, recoupment, rescission or payback of compensation and expressly agrees that the Company may take such actions as are necessary to effectuate such policy (as applicable to the Participant) or applicable law without further consent or action being required by the Participant. For purposes of the foregoing, the Participant expressly and explicitly authorizes the Company to issue instructions, on the Participant’s behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold Participant’s shares of Stock and other amounts acquired under the Plan to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such shares of Stock and/or other amounts to the Company. To the extent that the terms of this Agreement and such policy conflict, the terms of such policy shall prevail. (iv) By accepting the SARs, the Participant consents to one or more deductions from any amounts any IMS Company owes the Participant from time to time in an aggregate amount equal to all amounts described in subsection (ii) above, to the extent such deductions are permitted by applicable law. Any such deduction from an amount that constitutes a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A may only take place at the time the amount would otherwise be payable to the Participant, except to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A.

• Additional Understandings You agree, for yourself and others acting on your behalf, that you (and they) have not disparaged and will not disparage, make negative statements about, or act in any manner which is intended to or does damage to the good will of, or the business or personal reputations of the Company or any of its incumbent officers, directors, agents, consultants, employees, successors and assigns or any of the Covered Parties. The Company agrees that, except as necessary to comply with applicable law or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange on which the Company’s stock may be traded (and any public statements made in good faith by the Company in connection therewith), it and its corporate officers and directors, employees in its public relations department or third party public relations representatives retained by the Company will not disparage you or make negative statements in the press or other media which are damaging to your business or personal reputation. In the event that the Company so disparages you or makes such negative statements, then notwithstanding the “Additional Understandings” provision to the contrary, you may make a proportional response thereto. In addition, you agree that the Company is the owner of all rights, title and interest in and to all documents, tapes, videos, designs, plans, formulas, models, processes, computer programs, inventions (whether patentable or not), schematics, music, lyrics and other technical, business, financial, advertising, sales, marketing, customer or product development plans, forecasts, strategies, information and materials (in any medium whatsoever) developed or prepared by you or with your cooperation in connection with your employment by the Company (the “Materials”).

The Company will have the sole and exclusive authority to use the Materials in any manner that it deems appropriate, in perpetuity, without additional payment to you. If requested by the Company, you agree to deliver to the Company upon the termination of your employment, or at any earlier time the Company may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, files, records, reports, and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof regardless of the form thereof (including electronic copies)) containing, reflecting or derived from Confidential Information or the Materials of the Company or any of its affiliates which you may then possess or have under your control. If so requested, you shall provide to the Company a signed statement confirming that you have fully complied with this Paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall be entitled to retain your contacts, calendars and personal diaries and any materials needed for your tax return preparation or related to your compensation.

• Positive Undertakings At all times until full discharge of the Secured Obligations, the Issuer covenants with the Security Trustee that it shall: (a) inform the Security Trustee without undue delay of the occurrence of any event which results in any of the representations and warranties contained in Clause 5 (Representations and Warranties) hereof being untrue or inaccurate; (b) inform the Security Trustee without undue delay of any attachment (Pfändung) in respect of the Pledged Bonds or any part thereof, or any other event which may impair or jeopardise the Security Trustee's rights relating to the Pledged Bonds. In the event of any such attachment, the Issuer shall provide the Security Trustee without undue delay with a copy of the attachment order (Pfändungsbeschluss) and all other documents which are requested by the Security Trustee and which are necessary or expedient for a defence against such attachment. In addition, the Issuer shall inform the attaching creditor of the existence and effect of this Agreement; (c) notify the Depo Bank without undue delay about the Pledge, by sending a notice by registered post with return receipt (Einschreiben mit Rückschein), requesting the Depo Bank to acknowledge receipt of the notification by sending to the Security Trustee an acknowledgement, and provide evidence to the Security Trustee in form of a copy of such signed notification and the respective return receipt (Rückschein) within five Business Days after the date of this Agreement; such notification about, and acknowledgement of, the Pledge can also be made as part of any relevant agreement to which the Depo Bank is a party; (d) if so requested by the Security Trustee, notify Clearstream within 5 Business Days after such request, or procure that Clearstream is notified by the Depo Bank within 5 Business Days after such request, of the Pledges over the Pledged Bonds and the pertinent co-ownership interests in the collective custody holdings (Miteigentumsanteile am Girosammelbestand), and in particular, the assignment of any claims against Clearstream for delivery of the certificates (Abtretung des Herausgabeanspruchs) representing such bonds by registered post with return receipt (Einschreiben mit Rückschein), and provide evidence to the Security Trustee in form of a copy of such signed notification and the respective return receipt (Rückschein) without undue delay; and (e) use reasonable efforts to procure that, with respect to and/or in connection with the Pledged Bonds, the respective pertinent co-ownership interests of the Issuer in the collective custody holdings (Miteigentumsanteile am Girosammelbestand) and the Issuance Account, the Depo Bank waives or subordinates any right of retention and any right of set-off as well as any existing pledges, including, without limitation, any pledge existing by operation of the general business conditions (Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen) of the Depo Bank or otherwise in respect of the Issuance Accounts, if any, so that the Pledge will rank ahead of all other pledges affecting the Issuance Accounts, and to inform the Security Trustee accordingly.
