THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of February 17, 2012 (this “Agreement”), is made by and among: (i) Spartan Parent Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”); (ii) Spartan Acquisition Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”); (iii) TransUnion Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”); and (iv) solely with respect to Article 11 only, MDCPVI TU Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the Stockholder Representative (as defined below). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings specified in Section 12.2 below.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “DGCL”);

WHEREAS, the boards of directors of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have determined that the Merger is in the best interest of their respective stockholders and have declared advisable and approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger), and have recommended the adoption of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) by their respective stockholders;

WHEREAS, immediately after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall obtain the irrevocable approval and adoption by the holders of Voting Common Stock of this Agreement and the Merger contemplated hereby, pursuant to a written consent in the form of Exhibit A to this Agreement (each, a “Written Consent”) signed by the Required Holders; and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as an inducement to the Company’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, each of the GS Funds and each of the Advent Funds (collectively, the “Limited Guarantors”) have agreed, pursuant to guarantees dated as of the date hereof (collectively, the “Limited Guarantees”), to guaranty the performance by Parent and Merger Sub of certain obligations under this Agreement, as more fully set forth in the Limited Guarantees.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company at the Effective Time. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of

Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger (referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation”).

1.2 Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 10.1, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 8, the closing of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP, 233 South Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606 commencing at 10:00 a.m. local time on (a) the third (3^rd) Business Day following the date on which all of the conditions set forth in Article 8 are satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions); provided, that if the Marketing Period has not ended at the time of the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article 8 (other than those conditions that by their terms cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), then the Closing shall occur on the earlier of (i) a date during the Marketing Period specified by Parent on no fewer than two (2) Business Days prior notice to the Company, and (ii) on or before the third (3^rd) Business Day following the final day of the Marketing Period (subject in each case to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article 8 for the Closing as of the date determined pursuant to this proviso) or (b) such later date as may be mutually agreed in writing by Parent and the Company (the date on which the Closing actually occurs is the “Closing Date”).

1.3 Effective Time. Upon the terms and subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Company shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of, the DGCL (the date and time of such filing, or at such later date and time as Parent and the Company shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger, the “Effective Time”).

1.4 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, all properties, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, restrictions, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, restrictions, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.5 Certificate of Incorporation; By-laws. The certificate of incorporation of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended at the Effective Time to read in its entirety as set forth on Exhibit B hereto and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by Applicable Law. The by-laws of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended at the Effective Time to read in their entirety as set forth on Exhibit C hereto and, as so amended, shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by Applicable Law.

2

1.6 Directors. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.

ARTICLE 2

EFFECT OF MERGER ON THE EQUITY SECURITIES OF

THE CONSTITUENT ENTITIES; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

2.1 Conversion of Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

(a) Shares of Common Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be converted into, and be exchanged for, one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of voting common stock of the Surviving Corporation such that, immediately following the Effective Time, Parent will be the sole and exclusive owner of the shares of all common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall, as of the Effective Time, evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Shares of Common Stock of the Company. Each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Common Stock held as treasury stock or held or owned by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, which shares shall be canceled without any payment being made in respect thereof, or any Dissenting Shares (to the extent provided in Section 2.4)) shall automatically be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration. All shares of Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, and shall cease to exist after the Effective Time.

2.2 Vesting of Company Options.

(a) Vesting of Company Options. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each then outstanding and unexercised option (or portion thereof) to purchase shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “Company Options”) under the TransUnion Corp. 2010 Management Equity Plan (as amended, the “Company Stock Incentive Plan”) that vests based solely on time (collectively, the “Time Options”) shall become fully vested and exercisable, and any portion of each Company Option that vests based on performance criteria (collectively, the “Performance Options”) shall become fully vested and exercisable if (x) such performance criteria are satisfied as of the Closing or (y) such full vesting and exercisability is approved prior to the Closing (i) by the Company and (ii) for any Covered Person to the extent that such full vesting and exercisability, together with all other payments and benefits that such Covered Person would be entitled in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, would potentially constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, pursuant to a Stockholder vote in accordance with the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the

3

Code. From and after the Effective Time, the Company Options shall no longer be exercisable by the former holders thereof (the “Option Holders”), but shall only entitle the Option Holders to the payment of the consideration, if any, set forth in this Section 2.2. The Company shall take all actions as may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.2.

(b) Treatment of Vested Options. At the Effective Time, in connection with the Merger and pursuant to the terms hereof and the Company Stock Incentive Plan, all Time Options and any vested Performance Options (collectively, the “Vested Options”) shall be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive the Per Option Merger Consideration, less any tax withholdings required under Applicable Law.

(c) Treatment of Unvested Options. At the Effective Time, in connection with the Merger and pursuant to the terms hereof and the Company Stock Incentive Plan, each Performance Option which is not vested at the Closing, if any, shall be cancelled and forfeited without any payment therefor.

2.3 Payment and Exchange Procedures.

(a) Closing Payments. At or prior to the Closing, Parent shall make, or cause to be made, the following payments (collectively, the “Closing Payments”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds:

(i) subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.3(b), to the MDP Stockholder, an amount equal to (x) the product of the Per Share Merger Consideration and the number of shares of Common Stock held by the MDP Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time, minus (y) the MDP Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the SR Fund, in each case, as set forth in the Closing Funds Certificate to be delivered pursuant to Section 8.2(d) (the “MDP Stockholder Payment Amount”);

(ii) subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.3(b), to each Other Stockholder, an amount equal to (x) the product of the Per Share Merger Consideration and the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Other Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time, minus (y) such Other Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the SR Fund, minus (z) such Other Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount, in each case, as set forth in the Closing Funds Certificate to be delivered pursuant to Section 8.2(d) (the “Other Stockholder Payment Amount” and, together with the MDP Stockholder Payment Amount, the “Stockholder Payment Amount”);

(iii) to the Surviving Corporation for payment to each Option Holder (net of applicable withholding), an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Per Option Merger Consideration applicable to all Vested Options held by such Option Holder immediately prior to the Effective Time, as set forth in the Closing Funds Certificate to be delivered pursuant to Section 8.2(d) (the “Option Payment Amount”);

(iv) to the person or persons entitled thereto pursuant to the Closing Funds Certificate to be delivered pursuant to Section 8.2(d), on behalf and for the account of the Company, the Transaction Expenses to an account or accounts designated by the Company;

4

(v) to the Indemnity Escrow Agent, on behalf of the Other Stockholders, the Indemnity Escrow Amount to an account designated by the Indemnity Escrow Agent; and

(vi) to the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders, the SR Fund to an account designated by the Stockholder Representative.

(b)     Stockholder Payment and Exchange of Certificates.

(i) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Parent properly completed letters of transmittal, in a customary form as shall be agreed between the Parent and the Stockholder Representative prior to the Closing (each, a “Letter of Transmittal”), including, among other terms, written wire transfer instructions, for each Stockholder who (x) is receiving payments under Sections 2.3(a)(i) or 2.3(a)(ii), and (y) has submitted such Letter of Transmittal to the Company prior to the Closing.

(ii) At the Closing, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Parent all original certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock (the “Certificates”) as well as any documents reasonably requested by Parent as may be necessary to document the transfer and/or termination of such Certificates that have been submitted to the Company prior to the Closing.

(iii) All payments to a Stockholder made pursuant to Sections 2.3(a)(i) or 2.3(a)(ii) shall be subject to (x) the Company’s receipt of a properly completed Letter of Transmittal from such Stockholder, and (y) Parent’s receipt of such Stockholder’s Certificates, as well as any documents reasonably requested by Parent as may be necessary to document the transfer and/or termination of such Certificates, from such Stockholder. Until a Stockholder delivers the Letter of Transmittal and Certificates and any additional information or documentation required by this Section 2.3(b), such Stockholder’s Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such delivery the applicable Stockholder Payment Amount. At any time after the Effective Time, upon receipt by Parent of such Stockholder’s Letter of Transmittal and Certificates and any additional information or documentation required by this Section 2.3(b), Parent or the Surviving Corporation will issue in exchange for such Stockholder’s Certificate the applicable Stockholder Payment Amount to such Stockholder.

(iv) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as Parent or the Surviving Corporation may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, Parent or the Surviving Corporation will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Stockholder Payment Amount.

5

(c) Option Holder Payment. At the Closing, Parent shall pay to the Surviving Corporation an amount equal to the aggregate of the amounts owed to the Option Holders pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(iii), which shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation to the Option Holders as soon as practicable following the Closing, but in any event within five (5) Business Days following the Closing. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay by a payroll payment to each Option Holder for such holder’s Option Payment Amount, less any tax withholdings required under Applicable Law.

2.4 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time held by a holder (a “Dissenting Stockholder”) who shall not have voted or consented to adopt this Agreement and has the right to demand and has properly demanded an appraisal of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration otherwise payable in exchange for such shares, but shall be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be due such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL unless such Dissenting Stockholder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such Dissenting Stockholder’s right to such payment or appraisal. If, after the Effective Time, such Dissenting Stockholder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses any such right to appraisal, each such share of such Dissenting Stockholder shall no longer be considered a Dissenting Share and shall be deemed to have converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1, with such Per Share Merger Consideration to be paid to the applicable Stockholder in accordance with Section 2.3. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Common Stock, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL received by the Company, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands or agree to do or commit to do any of the foregoing except to the extent required by Applicable Law.

2.5 Adjustments. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall occur, including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, but excluding any change that results from any exercise of Company Options outstanding as of the date hereof, the Per Share Merger Consideration, the Per Option Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement on a per security basis shall be appropriately adjusted.

2.6 Closing of Company Stock Transfer Books. At 5:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed (except with respect to conversions or exercises of derivative securities) and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Common Stock that were outstanding on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Common Stock except as otherwise provided herein or by law. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented

6

to the Parent or the Surviving Corporation for any reason shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article 2.

ARTICLE 3

The Company and each of its subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned or leased by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

5.2 Financing.

(a) Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall agree to any amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification of, or waive any of its rights or any rights in favor of the Company under, any Financing Commitment or any definitive agreements related to any Financing Commitment, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Company (including any such amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification to or waiver of any provision of the Financing Commitments that amends, supplements or otherwise modifies the conditions precedent to the Financing Commitments), if such amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification of, or waiver of any provision would reasonably be expected to (x) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing below the amount of cash funded at Closing required to consummate the Merger and repay or refinance the debt contemplated in this Agreement or in the Financing Commitments including all fees and expenses related in each case thereto (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount of the Debt Financing or similar fees) unless the Equity Financing is increased by a corresponding amount (or, in the case of additional fees or original issue discount, such Debt Financing permits such amounts to be funded under a revolving credit facility at Closing) or (y) impose new or additional conditions or otherwise amend or expand any conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing that would reasonably be expected to (1) expand the conditions precedent or contingencies to the funding at Closing in a manner that would be reasonably likely to make the funding of the Debt Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing) less likely to occur or prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions

30

contemplated by this Agreement, or (2) adversely impact the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Financing Commitments or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or the likelihood of consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent and Merger Sub may replace or amend the Debt Financing Letter to add additional lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities, if the representations set forth in Section 4.7 shall be true and correct giving effect to such replacement or amendment and the addition of such parties, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to (1) prevent or delay or impair the availability of the financing under the Debt Financing Letter, make the funding of the Debt Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing) less likely to occur or prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (2) adversely impact the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Financing Commitments or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or the likelihood of consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby). Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Commitments (as such terms may be modified or adjusted in accordance with the terms of, and within the limits of, the “flex” provisions contained in the Debt Fee Letter), including (i) using its commercially reasonable efforts to (w) maintain in effect the Financing Commitments in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, (x) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contained therein, (y) satisfy on a timely basis (taking into account the expected timing of the Marketing Period) all conditions applicable to Parent in such definitive agreements and (z) consummate the Financing at the Closing, subject to the conditions herein, and (ii) at the request of the Stockholder Representative or the Company, but subject to Section 12.9, fully enforcing the Limited Guarantors’ obligations (and the rights of Parent and the Company) under the Equity Financing Letters, including by filing one or more lawsuits against the Limited Guarantors to fully enforce the Limited Guarantors’ obligations (and the rights of Parent and the Company) thereunder. Parent shall keep the Company and the Stockholder Representative informed on a current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to obtain and consummate the Financing (including by providing draft agreements and being available for discussion of the status of any such draft agreements, in each case to the extent requested). Upon any such amendment, replacement, supplement or modification of the Equity Financing Letters or Debt Financing Letter in accordance with this Section 5.2(a), the terms “Equity Financing Letters” and “Debt Financing Letter” shall mean the Equity Financing Letters and Debt Financing Letter, respectively, as so amended, replaced, supplemented or modified in accordance with this Section 5.2(a).

(b) In the event any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Financing Commitments (as such terms may be modified or adjusted in accordance with the terms of, and within the limits of, the “flex” provisions contained in the Debt Fee Letter) for any reason, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable but in any event no later than the Closing Date, financing from alternative sources

31

(the “Alternative Financing”) in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that in any event (i) are not subject to any conditions to funding the Financing other than those contained in the Financing Commitments in effect as of the date hereof, and (ii) do not contain any additional terms that would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including entering into definitive agreements with respect thereto. In the event that Alternative Financing is arranged in accordance with this Section 5.2(b), the term “Financing Commitments” shall mean the commitment letters for such Alternative Financing (as amended, replaced, supplemented or modified in accordance with Section 5.2(a)). In the event that Alternative Financing shall be obtained pursuant to this Section 5.2(b), the parties shall comply with the covenants in Section 5.2(a) with respect to such Alternative Financing mutatis mutandis. Parent shall furnish correct and complete copies of all definitive agreements relating to the Alternative Financing to the Company and the Stockholder Representative promptly upon their execution. Parent shall keep the Company and the Stockholder Representative informed on a current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to obtain and consummate the Alternative Financing.

(c) The Company, to the extent Parent and Merger Sub may reasonably request in connection with the Debt Financing, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to provide cooperation that is reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the syndication of the Debt Financing, which for purposes of this Section 5.2(c) shall be deemed to include the offering of the Holdco Notes contemplated in the Debt Financing Letter, including:

(i) participating in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, road shows, drafting sessions, due diligence sessions and sessions with prospective Financing Sources, investors and ratings agencies, and reasonably cooperating with the marketing efforts of the Parent and its Financing Sources, in each case in connection with the Debt Financing;

(ii) furnishing the Parent and its Financing Sources as promptly as practicable with financial and other pertinent information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by the Parent, including all financial statements and financial and other data of the type customarily (A) included in a bank information memorandum (including pro forma financial information) and (B) included in a registered offering of debt securities by Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K under the Securities Act (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include financial statements or information required by Rules 3-09, 3-10 or 3-16 of Regulation S-X or Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Regulation S-X Item 402(b), but would include customary disclosure of certain guarantor and non-guarantor information) and of the type or the type and form that are customarily included in a private placement of debt securities pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act (subject to customary exceptions) (the “Required Information”) and any other pertinent information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries as may reasonably be requested in writing by Parent; provided, that Parent shall be responsible for timely provision of any post-Closing pro forma cost savings, synergies, capitalization, ownership or other pro forma adjustments desired to be incorporated into any pro forma financial information requested

32

by Parent to be delivered by the Company (excluding any information that would customarily be prepared with the cooperation of the Company);

(iii) assisting with the preparation of customary materials for rating agency presentations, offering documents, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda (including, to the extent necessary, a bank information memorandum that does not include material non-public information), prospectuses and similar documents required in connection with the Debt Financing;

(iv) executing and delivering any pledge and security documents and otherwise reasonably facilitating the granting of a security interest (and perfection thereof) in collateral, guarantees, mortgages, other definitive financing documents or other certificates or documents (in each case, subject to the occurrence of the Closing) as may reasonably be requested by the Parent in connection with the Debt Financing;

(v) obtaining a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Company with respect to solvency matters in the form attached as Annex I to Exhibit D to the Debt Financing Letter; provided, that no officer of the Company shall be required to provide a certification that is not factually accurate, and customary authorization letters with respect to the bank information memoranda from a senior officer of the Company and using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consents of accountants for use of their reports in any materials relating to the Debt Financing;

(vi) using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain customary accountants’ comfort letters, accountants’ consents, surveys and title insurance at the expense of and as reasonably requested by the Parent on behalf of its Financing Sources;

(vii) taking all reasonable actions, subject to the occurrence of the Closing, necessary to permit the consummation of such Debt Financing and to permit the proceeds thereof to be made available to the Company, including entering into one or more credit agreements, indentures and/or other instruments on terms satisfactory to the Parent in connection with the Debt Financing immediately prior to (and conditioned upon the occurrence of) the Effective Time to the extent direct borrowings or debt incurrence by the Company is contemplated in the Financing Commitment at the Effective Time; and

(viii) at least three (3) days prior to the Closing, providing all reasonably available documentation and other reasonably available information about the Company and each of its subsidiaries as is reasonably requested in writing by the Debt Financing Sources at least five (5) days prior to the Closing to the extent required under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations including the USA PATRIOT Act in order to satisfy the conditions set forth in paragraph 10 of the Debt Financing Letter.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) neither the Company nor any of the Company’s subsidiaries shall (1) be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee, (2) have any liability or obligation under any loan agreement or any related document or any other

33

agreement or document related to the Debt Financing (or Alternative Financing) unless and until the Closing occurs, or (3) incur any other liability in connection with the Financing (or any Alternative Financing) unless and until the Closing occurs, and (y) no person that is a director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be required to take any action in such capacity that would result in personal liability with respect to the Financing prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is understood and agreed that the condition precedent set forth in Section 8.2(b), as applied to the Company’s obligations under this Section 5.2(c), shall be deemed to be satisfied unless the financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Letter has not been obtained as a direct result of the Company’s failure to undertake commercially reasonable efforts with respect to its obligations under this Section 5.2(c), taken as a whole.

(d) Parent shall give the Company and the Stockholder Representative prompt written notice of (i) any material breach by any party of any term or condition of the Financing Commitments (or commitments for any Alternative Financing obtained in accordance with this Section 5.2) of which Parent, the Stockholder Representative or the Company becomes aware, (ii) any termination of the Financing Commitments (or commitments for any Alternative Financing obtained in accordance with this Section 5.2) or (iii) any condition precedent of the Financing (or any Alternative Financing obtained in accordance with this Section 5.2), which Parent, the Stockholder Representative or the Company has any reason to believe will not be satisfied at the Closing Date.

5.3 Treatment of Existing Indebtedness. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Parent in obtaining, at Parent’s expense, as soon as possible after the date of this Agreement, a fully executed copy of an amendment or waiver of that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated February 10, 2011 (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, Trans Union LLC, the guarantors party thereto, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as administrative and collateral agent, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as L/C issuer and swing line lender, the other lenders party thereto, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and SunTrust Bank as TL documentation agents, U.S. Bank National Association, as RC documentation agent, the Governor and Company of The Bank Of Ireland, as senior managing agent and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, which amends or waives the “change of control” provisions set forth therein to permit the transactions contemplated hereby, such amendment or waiver to be effective at or prior to the Effective Time (it being understood and agreed that such amendment and waiver may include such other terms as Parent and the requisite lenders under such credit agreement shall agree so long as such amendments and waivers (other than the “Change of Control” waiver or amendment) shall not become effective prior to the Effective Time). To the extent the foregoing amendment or waiver is not obtained on or prior to the date that is fifteen (15) days after the date hereof, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, and to cause its subsidiaries to, negotiate a payoff letter from the agent under the Credit Agreement, in customary form, and which payoff

34

letter shall (i) indicate the total amount required to be paid to fully satisfy all principal, interest, prepayment premiums, penalties, breakage costs or similar obligations related to the Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date (the “Debt Payoff Amount”), and (ii) state that all Liens in connection therewith relating to the assets of the Company or its subsidiaries shall be, upon the payment of the Debt Payoff Amount on the Closing Date, released (the payoff letter described in this sentence being referred to as the “Payoff Letter”). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, and to cause its subsidiaries to, deliver all notices and take all other actions reasonably requested by Parent and Merger Sub to facilitate the termination of any commitments under the Credit Agreement, the repayment in full of all obligations then outstanding thereunder (using funds provided by Parent) and the release of all Liens in connection therewith on the Closing Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (such termination, repayment and release, the “Credit Agreement Termination”); provided, that in no event shall this Section 5.3 require the Company or any of its subsidiaries to cause such Credit Agreement Termination unless the Closing shall have occurred and Parent shall have provided to the Company funds to repay in full all obligations under the Credit Agreement. Concurrently with the Closing, Parent shall pay to the agent under the Company Credit Agreement all amounts required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement and specified in the Payoff Letter to effect the Credit Agreement Termination.

5.4 Senior Notes.

(a) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to commence, as promptly as practicable on or after the date hereof and following receipt of written instructions from Parent, a consent solicitation with respect to a modification of the definition of “Investors” in the Indenture, dated June 15, 2010 (the “Indenture”), among Trans Union LLC (“Trans Union LLC”), TransUnion Financing Corporation (together with Trans Union LLC, the “Issuers”), the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, governing the 11 ³/8% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Senior Notes”) of the Issuers, the primary effect of which will be that the Trans Union LLC shall not be required to offer to purchase the Senior Notes after consummation of the Merger (or as may otherwise be reasonably determined by Parent for the purpose of facilitating the transactions contemplated hereby), and upon termination of such consent solicitation, upon receipt of written instructions from Parent, such other consent solicitation relating to the Senior Notes reasonably requested by Parent for the purpose of facilitating the transactions contemplated hereby (each, a “Consent Solicitation”). Any Consent Solicitation will contain such customary terms and conditions as are reasonably determined by Parent; provided that (i) this Agreement shall have not been terminated in accordance with Section 10.1 and (ii) either the Company shall have received from Parent all necessary and appropriate documentation in connection with the Consent Solicitation, including the consent solicitation statement, consent forms and other related documents (collectively, the “Solicitation Documents”), which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, at Parent’s request, the Company shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, such Solicitation Documents, as described in Section 5.4(c) below. The Company shall waive any of the conditions relating to any Consent Solicitation, as applicable, as may be reasonably requested by Parent in writing and shall not, without the written consent of Parent, waive any condition to any Consent Solicitation or make any changes to any Consent Solicitation other than as agreed between Parent and the Company. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly make any change to the terms and conditions of any Consent Solicitation reasonably requested by Parent.

35

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any proposed amendments to the Indenture contemplated by the Consent Solicitation shall revert to the form in effect prior to the effectiveness of any proposed amendments and be of no further effect if the Closing does not occur.

(b) The Company agrees that, promptly following any consent expiration date, assuming the requisite consents are received and conditions set forth in the Indenture have been satisfied, the Company shall cause each of its subsidiaries that is party to the Indenture as is necessary to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture, which supplemental indenture shall implement the amendments set forth in the Solicitation Documents and shall become operative upon the Effective Time. Concurrent with the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Company to pay for consents validly delivered and not revoked in accordance with the Consent Solicitation, it being understood that all such payments shall be subject to the reimbursement provisions of Section 5.5 if such payments are made.

(c) Promptly after the date of this Agreement and subject to the reimbursement provisions of Section 5.5, Parent shall prepare, or shall request the Company to prepare, the Solicitation Documents. Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective subsidiaries to, reasonably cooperate with each other in the preparation of the Solicitation Documents and other customary documentation. Any Solicitation Documents (including all amendments or supplements thereto) and all mailings to the holders of the Senior Notes in connection with any Consent Solicitation shall be subject to the prior review of, and comment by, the Company and Parent and shall be reasonably acceptable in form and substance to each of them. If at any time prior to the completion of a Consent Solicitation any information in the Solicitation Documents should be discovered by the Company and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, or Parent, on the other, which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Solicitation Documents, as applicable, so that they shall not contain any untrue statements of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party in writing, and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be disseminated by or on behalf of the Company to the holders of the Senior Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4, the Company shall comply with any Applicable Law in connection with a Consent Solicitation. To the extent that the provisions of any Applicable Law conflict with this Section 5.4, the Company shall comply with the Applicable Law and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations hereunder by such compliance.

(d) In connection with any Consent Solicitation, Parent may select one or more solicitation agents, information agents and other agents to provide assistance in connection therewith and the Company shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, enter into usual and customary agreements (including usual and customary indemnities) with such parties so selected and on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Parent. Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, the requisite amount of funds to the Company for all payments to holders of Senior Notes in respect of any consents validly delivered and not revoked in accordance with the Consent Solicitation.

36

(e) Following the Closing, if requisite consents in the Consent Solicitation have not been obtained and a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) comply with the requirements under the Indenture relating to an offer to purchase or redeem the outstanding Senior Notes as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is expressly agreed by the parties hereto that the failure to obtain the consent of the holders of the Senior Notes in connection with any Consent Solicitation shall not be deemed to be a breach by the Company under this Agreement so long as the Company has complied with its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.4.

(g) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to commence, as promptly as practicable following receipt of written instructions from Parent, one or more offers to purchase the Senior Notes (an “Offer”). At the election of Parent, the Offer will (i) comply with the provisions of Section 4.14 of the Indenture and/or (ii) contain such customary terms and conditions as are reasonably determined by Parent; provided that (i) this Agreement shall have not been terminated in accordance with Section 10.1 and (ii) either the Company shall have received from Parent all necessary and appropriate documentation in connection with the Offer, including an offer to purchase or change of control notice, as applicable, letters of transmittal and other related documents (collectively, the “Offer Documents”), which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, at Parent’s request, the Company shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, such Offer Documents. Subject to the terms of Section 4.14 of the Indenture, if applicable, the Offer shall be conducted in accordance with this Section 5.4, mutatis mutandis, and shall comply in all respects with Applicable Law. The consummation of any Offer shall be subject to the occurrence of the Closing. Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, the requisite amount of funds to the Company for all payments to holders of Senior Notes in respect of any Notes purchased.

5.5 Limitations, Indemnity and Reimbursement.

(a) Nothing in this Article V shall require the Company to take any action to the extent it would, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, (i) unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the Company or its subsidiaries taken as a whole or (ii) be reasonably likely to result in the waiver of any attorney-client privilege (the reasonable likelihood of such disclosure resulting in the waiver of attorney-client privilege having been determined in consultation with outside legal counsel) or the unauthorized disclosure of any trade secrets of third parties or violate any of their obligations with respect to confidentiality.

(b) Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholders, the Stockholder Representative, the Company and its subsidiaries, and their respective officers, employees and other representatives, from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with (i) the arrangement of the Financing and the utilization of any information in connection therewith, (ii) the amendment or waiver to the Credit Agreement or the Credit Agreement Termination or (iii) any Consent Solicitation and the Solicitation Documents; provided, however, that for purposes of this clause (iii), Parent shall not have any obligation to indemnify and hold harmless any such party or person to the extent that any such

37

Losses suffered or incurred arise from disclosure regarding the Company and its subsidiaries supplied in writing by such party or person for inclusion in the Solicitation Documents or included in any Company SEC Report that is incorporated by reference in the Solicitation Documents that is determined to have contained a material misstatement or omission.

(c) Parent shall reimburse the Company for any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with its compliance with Section 5.2(c), Section 5.3 and Section 5.4 (including reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and the fees and expenses of any solicitation agent, information agent, dealer manager or other agent retained pursuant to the Company’s obligations hereunder) promptly following incurrence and upon receipt of the Company’s written request therefor.

Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, as applicable, shall (x) respond as promptly as practicable to any inquiries or requests for additional information or documentation received from the FTC, the Antitrust Division or any other Governmental Entity, and (y) not extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or any foreign antitrust, competition or trade regulation law or enter into any agreement with the FTC, the Antitrust Division or any other Governmental Entity not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Subject to the provision set forth in Section 6.5(a), each of Parent and Merger Sub shall offer to take (and if such offer is accepted, commit to take) all steps which it is capable of taking to avoid or eliminate impediments under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation law or that may be asserted by the FTC, the Antitrust Division or any other Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so as to enable the Closing to occur prior to the Outside Date.

(c) Each party shall promptly furnish to the other and the Stockholder Representative copies of any notices or written communications received by Parent or any of its affiliates from any third party or any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such party shall permit counsel to the other party and the Stockholder Representative an opportunity to review in advance, and such party shall consider in good faith the views of such counsel in connection with, any proposed written communications by such party and/or its affiliates to any third party or any Governmental Entity, including the FTC and Antitrust Division, concerning the transactions contemplated by

41

this Agreement. Each party agrees to provide the other party, the Stockholder Representative and their counsel the opportunity, on reasonable advance notice, to participate in any substantive meetings or discussions, either in person or by telephone, between such party and/or any of its affiliates, agents or advisors, on the one hand, and any third party or Governmental Entity, including the FTC and Antitrust Division, on the other hand, concerning or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) In no event shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries be obligated to bear any expense or pay any fee or grant any concession in connection with obtaining any consents, authorizations or approvals required in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any such expenses are paid by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, none of such amounts shall be Transaction Expenses.

6.6 Employee Benefits.

(a) Parent agrees that for a period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on December 13, 2013 (the “Benefit Protection Period”), it shall provide, or cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, compensation and benefits (other than equity-based compensation) to each individual who is employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries as of the Closing (each, a “Company Employee”) under the Company Benefit Plans or other employee benefit plans or compensation arrangements of Parent or any affiliate of Parent that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the compensation and benefits (other than equity-based compensation) provided to such Company Employee under the Company Benefit Plans immediately prior to the Closing; provided, however, that, after December 31, 2012, such compensation and benefits shall be subject to review and reasonable adjustment by the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation following consultation with, and after due consideration of input from, the Chief Executive Officer of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 6.6(a), from and after the Closing, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to honor and continue without amendment during the Benefit Protection Period or, if sooner, until all obligations thereunder have been satisfied, all of the Company’s employment, severance, retention and termination plans, policies, programs, agreements and arrangements (including any change in control or severance agreement between the Company and any Company Employee), in each case, as in effect on the Closing, including with respect to any payments, benefits or rights arising as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (either alone or in combination with any other event), without any amendment or modification, other than any amendment or modification required to comply with Applicable Law or as consented to by the parties thereto.

(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 6.6(a), the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries shall be permitted to make payments to Company Employees pursuant to annual cash incentive plans with respect to the annual performance period in which the Closing occurs upon the terms and conditions of such plans as in effect on the date hereof.

(d) With respect to any “employee benefit plan”, as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, maintained by Parent or its affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation (including

42

any vacation, paid time-off and severance plans) for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and benefit accruals (other than accruals under any defined benefit pension plans) each Company Employee’s service with the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries, to the extent service with the predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or such Company Subsidiary) shall be treated as service with Parent and its affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits.

(e) Parent shall, or shall cause its affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, to waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any welfare benefit plan maintained by Parent or any of its affiliates in which Company Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Closing, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Company Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing. Parent shall, or shall cause its affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, to recognize, or cause to be recognized, the dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each Company Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Closing occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which such Company Employee (and dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Closing.

(f) To the extent that (1) any Covered Person would be entitled to any payment or benefit in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (2) such payment or benefit would potentially constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, the Company shall, prior to Closing:

(i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a binding written waiver by such Covered Person of any such portion of such parachute payment as exceeds 2.99 times of such Covered Person’s “base amount” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code (collectively, the “Excess Parachute Payments”) to the extent such excess is not subsequently approved pursuant to a Stockholder vote in accordance with the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code (the “280G Stockholder Approval Requirements”);

(ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Stockholder approval that satisfies the 280G Stockholder Approval Requirements in respect of the Excess Parachute Payments payable to all such Covered Persons;

(iii) provide to the Stockholders all required disclosure under Section 280G(b)(5)(B)(ii) of the Code and provide Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such disclosure before it is distributed to the Stockholders; and

43

(iv) hold a vote of the Stockholders in a manner that is intended to satisfy the 280G Stockholder Approval Requirements.

(g) Without limiting the generality of the second sentence of Section 12.6, nothing in this Section 6.6, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person, including any Company Employee, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 6.6 shall constitute an amendment of, or an undertaking to amend, any Company Benefit Plan or any employee benefit plan or compensation arrangement of Parent or any affiliate of Parent. Nothing herein shall create any obligation on the part of Parent or the Company or any of its subsidiaries to continue to employ any Company Employee for any definite period of time following the Closing.

6.7 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.

(a) The provisions of the constituent documents of the Company and its subsidiaries concerning the elimination of liability and indemnification of directors and/or other persons shall not be amended in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any person that is as of the date hereof or the Effective Time covered as an indemnitee under any such elimination of liability or indemnification provisions. In addition to the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time for a period of six (6) years, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) indemnify and hold harmless (or caused to be indemnified and held harmless), to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, each person who is, or at the Closing Date will be, a current or former director, employee, agent or officer of the Company (the “D&O Indemnitees”) against all Losses arising out of or pertaining to acts or omissions (or alleged acts or omissions) of the D&O Indemnitees, or any of them, in their capacities as such on or prior to Closing. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, the indemnification and related rights hereunder shall be mandatory rather than permissive, and the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) promptly advance expenses in connection with such indemnification to the extent permitted under Applicable Law.

(b) Effective upon the Closing, Parent and the Surviving Corporation, and each of their respective affiliates, Representatives, successors and assigns (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the Closing) (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), shall be deemed to have remised, released and forever discharged the individuals set forth on Schedule 6.7(b) (collectively, the “Released Parties”) of and from any and all claims which the Releasing Parties, or any of them, now have, ever had, or at the Closing may have, or hereafter can, shall or may have, against the Released Parties, or any of them, for, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, from the beginning of time through the Closing Date (the “Released Claims”); provided, however, that no such release is granted to any Released Party for an intentional and knowing material violation of Applicable Law by such Released Party, or an intentional and knowing material breach by such Released Party of a Company policy. As of the Closing Date, Parent, on behalf of each of the Releasing Parties, expressly acknowledges that it has had, or has had and waived, the opportunity to be advised by independent legal counsel.

44

(c) As of the Closing Date, Parent, on behalf of each of the Releasing Parties, expressly acknowledges that it has had, or has had and waived, the opportunity to be advised by independent legal counsel and hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits afforded by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (and any analogous law of any other state, locality, or other jurisdiction) with respect to the Released Claims and does so understanding and acknowledging the significance and consequence of such specific waiver of Section 1542 which provides:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

(d) Parent, on behalf of each of the Releasing Parties, hereby represents, warrants and covenants to each Released Party that there has not been and will not be any assignment or other transfer of any right or interest in any claims that any Releasing Party ever had, has or may have against the Released Parties, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold each Released Party harmless from any claims and Losses directly or indirectly incurred by any of the Released Parties as a result of any person asserting any right or interest pursuant to any such purported assignment or transfer of any such right or interest.

(e) Parent, on behalf of each of the Releasing Parties, hereby agrees that if any Releasing Party hereafter commences, joins in or in any manner seeks relief through any suit arising out of, based upon or relating to any of the claims released hereunder, or in any manner asserts against any Released Party any of the claims released hereunder, then such Releasing Parties will pay to such Released Party, in addition to any other Losses, direct or indirect, all attorneys’ fees incurred in defending or otherwise responding to such suit or claims.

(f) For a period of six (6) years from and after the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to and the Surviving Corporation shall cause its subsidiaries to) procure and maintain in effect with respect to all periods prior to the Closing Date, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering those present and former officers and directors of the Company and those present and former officers, directors and managers of the subsidiaries who are currently covered by directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies on terms no less favorable in the aggregate than the terms of such current insurance coverage with respect to any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect, breach of duty or any matter claimed against a director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries by reason of him or her serving in such capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to the Closing Date (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby); provided, however, that (i) if any claim is asserted or made within such six-year period, such insurance shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof, (ii) in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend for such policies pursuant to this sentence an annual premium amount in excess of 250% of the current annual premium, which amount is set forth in Schedule 6.7(f) and (iii) if the aggregate premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to

45

obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(g) The provisions of this Section 6.7 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each person released or entitled to indemnification, or other benefit hereunder, and each such person’s heirs, representatives, successors or assigns, it being expressly agreed that such persons shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.7, and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other right to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by contract or otherwise. The Surviving Corporation shall not (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to) (x) amend the provisions of this Section 6.7 in a manner that would adversely affect any such third party beneficiary without the prior written consent of such third party beneficiary, or (y) following the Closing, enter into, or permit any of its affiliates to enter into, any merger, consolidation or other transaction unless Parent shall have ensured that the surviving or resulting entity will assume the obligations imposed by this Section 6.7. With respect to any claim by a third party beneficiary under this Section 6.7, no Releasing Party may assert by way of defense, set-off or counterclaim, any claim against, or Losses owing by, the Stockholders or another third party beneficiary.

(h) The Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to), from time to time following the Closing, execute and deliver such other documents and instruments and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Stockholder Representative or any Released Party or D&O Indemnitee to implement the provisions of this Section 6.7.

6.8 Intercompany Accounts. All intercompany accounts between the Company or its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Stockholders or their affiliates, on the other hand, as of the Closing shall be settled (irrespective of the terms of payment of such intercompany accounts) in the manner provided in this Section 6.8, other than, in each case, any such intercompany accounts with portfolio companies or similarly-held investments of the Stockholders and their affiliates that constitute ordinary course business dealings with the Company or its subsidiaries. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent a statement setting out in reasonable detail the calculation of all such intercompany account balances based upon the latest available financial information as of such date and, to the extent requested by Parent, provide Parent with supporting documentation to verify the underlying intercompany charges and transactions. All such intercompany account balances shall be paid in full in cash prior to the Closing (and, to the extent that any such amounts owed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to any Stockholder or any affiliate thereof are not paid on or prior to Closing, all such unpaid amounts shall be deemed cancelled effective as of the Closing). In addition, all other Contracts between or among any Stockholder or any of their respective affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on the other hand, shall be hereby deemed terminated as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 6.8 to the contrary, this Section 6.8 shall not apply to accounts or Contracts arising in the ordinary course of the Company’s or the counterparty’s business as a result of any arms’ length customer, user, supplier or similar relationship.

6.9 No Solicitation; Other Offers. After the execution and delivery of the Written Consent by the Required Holders to the Company, neither the Company nor any of its

46

subsidiaries shall, nor shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries authorize or permit any of its or their officers or representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or take any action to facilitate or encourage the submission of any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, furnish any information relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to, otherwise cooperate in any way with, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort by any third party that is seeking to make, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (iv) enter into any agreement, letter or intent, memorandum or understanding or term sheet with respect to an Acquisition Proposal.

ARTICLE 7

TAX MATTERS

7.1 Filing of Tax Returns.

(a) Parent shall prepare or cause the Company to prepare, in a manner consistent with past practices (except as required by Applicable Law), and file or cause the Company to file, all Tax Returns for the Company and its subsidiaries which are required to be filed after the Closing Date. Parent and the Company shall deliver substantially final drafts of such Tax Returns described in the preceding sentence that cover Pre-Closing Tax Periods (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Straddle Period) to the Stockholder Representative at least fourteen (14) days prior to filing such Tax Returns to permit the Stockholder Representative to review and comment on each such Tax Return. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Parent, the Company and the Stockholder Representative agree that the Transaction Tax Deductions shall be taken into account as losses or deductions in Pre-Closing Tax Periods, and Parent and the Company agree to prepare the Tax Returns described in this Section 7.1(a) in a manner consistent with such intent.

(b) The Specified Tax Refund shall be for the account of the PFBI Stockholders. If the Specified Tax Refund (or portion thereof) is received prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall be permitted to pay such amount to the PFBI Stockholders, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement. If the Specified Tax Refund (or portion thereof) is received on or after the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the net amount of such refund to the Stockholder Representative for distribution to each PFBI Stockholder in amounts equal to such PFBI Stockholder’s proportionate share of such refund within fifteen (15) Business Days of the receipt thereof. Any payment of the Specified Tax Refund (or portion thereof) made pursuant to this Section 7.1(b) shall be made net of (i) any costs associated with obtaining such refund, (ii) any Tax required to be withheld on such payment, and (iii) any Taxes imposed on the Company or its subsidiaries as a result of such refund. The amount or economic benefit of any other Tax refunds, credits, or reduction in assessed Taxes of the Company or its subsidiaries arising out of or related to any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of Parent.

47

7.2 Straddle Periods. In the case of a Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company and its subsidiaries for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (to the extent reasonably practicable taking into account the Company’s accounting systems, and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time), and the amount of other Taxes of the Company and its subsidiaries for a Straddle Period which relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

7.3 Cooperation. Parent, the Company and its subsidiaries and the Stockholder Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to Section 7.1 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes (including any Tax Claim). Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to execute Tax Returns and to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Parent, Company and its subsidiaries, and the Stockholder Representative agree (a) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and its subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until thirty (30) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Parent or the Stockholders, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority, (b) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, Parent, Company and its subsidiaries or the Stockholder Representative, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records, and (c) to notify the other party in writing within fifteen (15) days of receipt from any Governmental Entity of notice of any audit, inquiry, examination, demand or proceeding which may affect such other party.

7.4 Certain Taxes and Fees. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne equally by Parent and the Stockholders. Parent will file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required by Applicable Law, Stockholders will, and will cause its affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. The costs and expenses associated with the preparation and filing of such Tax Returns and other documentation shall be borne equally by Parent and the Stockholders.

7.5 Tax Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Closing, each Stockholder hereby indemnifies Parent and Merger Sub and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, successors and

48

assigns (collectively, the “Parent Tax Indemnitees”) against and agrees to hold each Parent Tax Indemnitee harmless from any Covered Tax and any liabilities, costs, expenses (including, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of investigation and attorneys’ fees and expenses), losses, damages, assessments, settlements or judgments arising out of or incident to the imposition, assessment or assertion of any Covered Tax (together, a “Tax Loss”). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.5, (i) in no event shall the amount to be paid by the MDP Stockholder to the Parent Tax Indemnitees in respect of a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.5 exceed the MDP Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of such claim, and (ii) in no event shall the aggregate amount to be paid by the Other Stockholders to the Parent Tax Indemnitees in respect of a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.5 exceed the Other Stockholders’ aggregate Pro Rata Portion of such claim. The obligations of the Stockholders under this Section 7.5 shall survive until the Second Anniversary Date, after which time no claim for indemnification not theretofore asserted may be brought in respect of any Tax Loss.

(b) If the Company or any of its subsidiaries is required by Applicable Law to pay an amount to a Taxing Authority that would constitute a Tax Loss in connection with but prior to the resolution of a suit, action or proceeding described in Section 7.6, (i) the MDP Stockholder shall pay its Pro Rata Portion of such amount and (ii) the Stockholder Representative shall cause the Indemnity Escrow Agent to release the Other Stockholders’ aggregate Pro Rata Portion of such amount, in each case, to Parent within ten (10) days of receipt of notice of the payment by Parent. In the event that Parent receives a partial or total refund of any such payment, Parent shall transfer the appropriate amounts to the Stockholder Representative and to the MDP Stockholder within ten (10) days of receipt.

(c) Any claim of any Parent Tax Indemnitee under this Section 7.5 may be made and enforced by Parent on behalf of such Parent Tax Indemnitee.

(d) Any payment to the Parent Tax Indemnitees in respect of any claim for indemnification properly asserted by the Parent Tax Indemnitees under this Section 7.5 shall be paid in the manner provided in Section 9.6.

7.6 Contest of Tax Claims.

(a) If an audit, examination, inquiry or other claim shall be made by any Governmental Entity, which could result in the Stockholders having any liability under Section 7.5 (a “Tax Claim”), Parent shall notify the Stockholder Representative promptly of such Tax Claim in writing; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the obligation of the Stockholders hereunder, except to the extent the Stockholders have actually been prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b) With respect to any Tax Claim relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Parent shall control all proceedings and may make all decisions taken in connection with such Tax Claim, including all decisions to grant or deny any waiver or extension of the applicable statute of limitations or to settle or compromise such Tax Claim, provided that (i) the Stockholder Representative may, at its election and own expense, advise and consult with Parent in connection with, and participate in the conduct of, such Tax Claim and (ii) Parent

49

shall not settle, resolve or close any Tax Claim without the written consent of the Stockholder Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In furtherance of the foregoing, Parent shall (A) provide the Stockholder Representative with copies of all correspondence, notice or other written materials received from any Governmental Entities, (B) keep the Stockholder Representative and its tax advisors advised of significant developments in the Tax Claim and of significant communications involving representatives of the Governmental Entities, (C) seek input from the Stockholder Representative prior to making any material submission (including responses to material information document requests) to any Governmental Entities, (D) execute appropriate powers of attorney in favor of the Stockholder Representative and its agents, and (E) at the request and expense of the Stockholder Representative, reasonably file protests or otherwise reasonably contest any proposed or asserted Tax deficiencies, including filing petitions for redetermination or prosecuting actions for refund in any court, and pursuing the appeal of any such actions.

(c) In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 7.6 and any other section of this Agreement, this Section 7.6 shall control.

7.7 Tax Sharing Agreements. Other than the Tax Separation Agreement, dated as of January 1, 2005, by and among the Company, Marmon Holdings, Inc. and each of their respective direct and indirect subsidiaries (which shall continue in effect following the Closing), all Tax sharing and similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any affiliate of the Stockholders (other than the Company or any of its subsidiaries), on the other hand, shall be terminated as of the Closing Date (other than (a) tax indemnification agreements entered into in connection with sales of assets or businesses, and (b) agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business, the primary subject matter of which is not Tax) and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall thereafter be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

7.8 Amended Returns. Parent, the Company and its subsidiaries shall not amend, refile or otherwise modify any income or other material Tax Return with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. For purposes of this Section 7.8, Stockholder Representative’s consent shall not be deemed to be unreasonably withheld if such amendment, filing, or modification results in Tax liability to the Stockholders.

7.9 Parent Actions. Except to the extent required by Applicable Law or pursuant to the consent of the Stockholder Representative, in no event shall the Stockholders be liable for any Tax Loss to the extent caused by or increased as a result of elections made or actions taken by Parent, any of its affiliates, the Company, or any of its subsidiaries after the Closing, including elections pursuant to Section 338 of the Code or Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3, or with respect to changes in any accounting policy, any tax reporting position or the length of any accounting period for Tax purposes.

ARTICLE 9

INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Survival. The representations and warranties of the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall survive the Closing until the first anniversary of the Closing (the “First Anniversary Date”), at which point they shall terminate, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.9, 3.16(e)(ii), 3.18, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3(a) and 4.6 (all such representatives and warranties, collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive the Closing until the second anniversary of the Closing (the “Second Anniversary Date”). Each covenant of the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith that by its terms contemplates performance prior to the Closing, but not after the Closing, shall terminate at the Closing, except for the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 and 6.8, each of which shall survive the Closing until the First Anniversary Date. Each covenant of the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith that contemplates performance after the Closing shall survive for the time period contemplated for performance. After the expiration of the survival periods set forth in this Section 9.1, no claim for indemnification not theretofore asserted may be brought in respect of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty based on the representations and warranties for which such survival periods have expired. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to the preceding sentences, if written notice of the inaccuracy or breach thereof giving rise to such right of indemnity shall have been given in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement to the party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time.

9.2 Indemnification of Parent Indemnitees. From and after the Closing, and pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Indemnity Escrow Agreement, and in the case of the MDP Stockholder, the Written Consent executed by the MDP Stockholder, and in all cases subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 9, Parent and Merger Sub and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Parent Indemnitees”) shall be indemnified and held harmless from and against any liability, obligations,

53

fines, penalties, losses, settlements, damages, claims, interest, awards and judgments, costs, Taxes and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable costs and expenses of investigating or contesting any of the foregoing) and any diminution in value (collectively, “Loss” or “Losses”) suffered or incurred by any of them as a result of, or arising out of:

(a) any untruths, inaccuracies or breaches of any representations or warranties of the Company; provided, however, that, except for the representations and warranties in Sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.19(e), 3.21 and 3.25(a), the first sentence of each of Sections 3.19(a) and 3.22, and with respect to the definition of, and reference to, any Material Contracts, such untruths, inaccuracies or breaches shall be determined without regard to any qualification or exception contained in such representation or warranty relating to materiality or Company Material Adverse Effect or any similar qualification or standard; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing proviso, no Parent Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.2(a) in respect of any Losses resulting from or arising out of any untruths, inaccuracies or breaches of any representations or warranties under Section 3.8, to the extent that (i) such claim relates to the matters that are the subject of the representations or warranties under Section 3.6 (Company SEC Reports complying with federal securities laws) or 3.7 (Financial Statements having been prepared in accordance with GAAP; for the avoidance of doubt, the subject matter of this representation is not non-GAAP liabilities) and (ii) such Parent Indemnitee would not otherwise be entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.2(a) with respect to such Section 3.6 or 3.7;

(b) any breach of any agreement or covenant of the Company contained in this Agreement;

(c) Transaction Expenses exceeding $21,600,000 (in which event, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of Losses indemnifiable under this Section 9.2(c) shall equal the amount of such excess); or

(d) the amount of Closing Cash being less than $15,000,000 (in which event, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of Losses indemnifiable under this Section 9.2(d) shall equal the amount of such shortfall);

regardless, in any case, of whether such Losses arise as a result of the negligence, strict liability or any liability under any theory of law or equity of, or violation by, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective affiliates.

9.3 Indemnification of Stockholder Indemnitees. From and after the Closing and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 9, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholders and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, trustees, beneficiaries, agents, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Stockholder Indemnitees”) from any Losses suffered or incurred by any of them as a result of, or arising out of:

(a) any untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Parent or Merger Sub (determined without regard to any qualification or exception contained

54

therein relating to materiality or Parent Material Adverse Effect or any similar qualification or standard); or

(b) any breach of any agreement or covenant of Parent or Merger Sub, or following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation, contained in this Agreement;

regardless, in any case, of whether such Losses arise as a result of the negligence, strict liability or any liability under any theory of law or equity of, or violation by, the Stockholders or any of their respective affiliates. Each Stockholder Indemnitee shall be a third party beneficiary of the Parent’s indemnification obligations under the Agreement; provided, however, each such Stockholder Indemnitee’s rights shall be exercised solely by and through the Stockholder Representative as provided herein.

9.4 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Third Party Claims. Except with respect to Tax Claims, which are addressed in Section 7.6, if a person entitled or claiming to be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 9.2 or 9.3 (such person, an “Indemnitee”) in respect of any action or the assertion of any claim, liability or obligation by a third party, against which claim, liability or obligation a person is, or may be, required under Sections 9.2 or 9.3 to indemnify Indemnitee (such person, an “Indemnitor”), an Indemnitee shall promptly notify Indemnitor in writing of the commencement or assertion thereof (the “Claim Notice”) and give Indemnitor a copy of such claim, process and all legal pleadings relating thereto. Indemnitor shall have the right to contest and conduct the defense of such action by giving written notice to Indemnitee of its election to do so within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of the Claim Notice, and Indemnitee may participate in such defense by counsel of its own choosing at its own expense provided that, prior to assuming control of such defense, the Indemnitor must acknowledge that it may have an indemnity obligation for Losses resulting from such action as provided under this Article 9. Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise any claim, action or proceeding for which Indemnitee is seeking indemnification under this Article 9 without the prior written consent of Indemnitor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnitor assumes control of the defense of any action in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.4(a), the Indemnitor shall not settle such action unless (i) such settlement is on exclusively monetary terms and the Indemnitor shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement either concurrently or with the effectiveness thereof and such settlement includes a complete and irrevocable general release executed by all persons who brought such action, which release shall release the Indemnitee from any liability without prejudice, or (ii) the Indemnitee shall have consented in writing to the terms of such settlement. In circumstances where the Indemnitor is controlling the defense of an action in accordance with this Section 9.4(a), the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in the defense of the action and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose, in which case the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitee; provided that in such event the Indemnitor shall pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel (x) incurred by the Indemnitee prior to the date of the Indemnitor assuming control of the defense of the action or (y) if representation of both the Indemnitor and Indemnitee by the same counsel would create a conflict of interest. Failure of Indemnitee to give the Claim Notice to Indemnitor promptly shall not affect Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification hereunder, except if (and then only to the

55

extent that) Indemnitor incurs additional expenses or Indemnitor’s defense of such claim is actually prejudiced by reason of such failure to give timely notice.

(b) Direct Claims. With respect to claims other than third-party claims, which are addressed in Section 9.4(a), Indemnitee shall use reasonable efforts promptly to notify Indemnitor of such claims, but failure of Indemnitee to give such notice to Indemnitor shall not affect the rights of Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder, except (i) as provided in Section 9.1 above, and (ii) if (and then only to the extent that) Indemnitor incurs additional expenses or Indemnitor is actually prejudiced by reason of such failure to give timely notice.

9.5 Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 9 or Section 7.5 (but subject to the provisions of Sections 9.6(c) and 9.6(d) relating to the reduction of the Indemnity Escrow Fund and the proportional reduction of the MDP Stockholder’s obligations hereunder, respectively):

(i) except in respect of Fundamental Representations, no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or 9.3(a) (as applicable) for Losses resulting from any single claim that does not exceed $75,000;

(ii) except in respect of Fundamental Representations, no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or 9.3(a) (as applicable) unless and until the total of all Losses suffered or incurred by the Indemnitee exceeds an amount equal to $21,062,500, and then only to the extent of such excess;

(iii) in no event shall the aggregate amount to be paid for Losses and Tax Losses incurred by the Stockholder Indemnitees, on the one hand, or the Parent Indemnitees and Parent Tax Indemnitees, on the other hand, for which such Indemnitees (including, as applicable any Parent Tax Indemnitee) is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement exceed $125,000,000 (the “Cap”), and, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall (i) any Other Stockholder’s liability under this Agreement exceed such Other Stockholder’s interest in its Pro Rata Portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount multiplied by the Cap, or (ii) the MDP Stockholder’s liability under this Agreement exceed the MDP Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion multiplied by the Cap;

(iv) in no event shall the amount to be paid by the MDP Stockholder in respect of any claim for indemnification under this Agreement exceed their aggregate MDP Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of such claim; and

(v) in no event shall the aggregate amount to be paid by any Other Stockholder in respect of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement exceed such Other Stockholders’ Pro Rata Portion of such claim.

(b) In no event shall any party hereto be liable for, nor shall the definition of Losses and Tax Loss include (other than with respect to amounts actually paid in respect of third party claims), any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, including loss of future revenue, income or profits, or loss of business reputation or

56

opportunity (provided that none of the foregoing shall include diminution in value), arising out of a breach in this Agreement, even if advised at the time of breach of the possibility of such damages.

(c) In no event shall the Stockholders be liable under this Agreement for any Loss or Tax Loss to the extent an adequate provision or reserve for such Loss or Tax Loss was established in the Financial Statements (and in the case of a Tax Loss, specifically identified in the related Tax reserve work papers) or the matter giving rise to such Loss or Tax Loss was otherwise addressed in the Closing Funds Certificate.

(d) In no event shall the Stockholders be liable for any Loss (i) that was caused by or results directly from any failure by Parent and its affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries) to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate such Loss, or (ii) that is primarily a potential or unrealized Loss or Tax Loss (until such Loss or Tax Loss is realized (subject to the last sentence of Section 9.1)). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, indemnification for breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 3.18 shall be limited to Losses incurred with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods.

(e) The amount of any Loss or Tax Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article 9 shall be reduced to reflect: (i) any amount received by such Indemnitee (or, as applicable, the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries) with respect thereto under any insurance coverage (other than self insured or other policies to the extent to which any such policy allocates the cost of any recovery to the Indemnitee or its affiliates (including, as applicable, the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries)) or from any other person alleged to be responsible therefore, and (ii) associated Tax reductions actually realized with respect to such Losses.

9.6 Manner of Payment; Indemnity Escrow Release.

(a) Manner of Payment. Any payment to the Parent Tax Indemnitees or the Parent Indemnitees in respect of any claim for indemnification properly asserted by the Parent Tax Indemnitees or the Parent Indemnitees under Section 7.5 or Section 9.2 shall be paid as follows:

(i) each MDP Stockholder shall pay its Pro Rata Portion of the amount of such claim by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent within five (5) Business Days after the date of the final determination of any amounts due and owing under this Article 9; and

(ii) the Stockholders Representative shall cause each Other Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the amount of such claim to be paid by release of funds to the Parent Tax Indemnitees or the Parent Indemnitees, as applicable, from the Indemnity Escrow Fund by the Indemnity Escrow Agent, such release to be made concurrently with payment by the MDP Stockholders pursuant to Section 9.6(a)(i) above.

(b) Joint Written Instructions. Upon the final determination of any amounts to be paid from the Indemnity Escrow Fund pursuant to this Section 9.6, Parent and the

57

Stockholder Representative shall execute joint written instructions to the Indemnity Escrow Agent instructing the Indemnity Escrow Agent to disburse the Indemnity Escrow Fund in accordance with this Section 9.6.

(c) Release of Escrow Funds.

(i) On the First Anniversary Date, the Indemnity Escrow Agent shall release an amount of the Indemnity Escrow Fund to or for the account of the Other Stockholders equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the initial Indemnity Escrow Fund less the aggregate amount, if any, previously paid to Parent out of the Indemnity Escrow Fund; provided that such amount released to or for the account of the Other Stockholders pursuant to this Section 9.6(c)(i) shall be reduced to the extent that the amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund in the absence of such reduction would be less than the aggregate amount of bona fide claims for indemnification properly asserted against the Indemnity Escrow Fund by the Parent Tax Indemnities and Parent Indemnities under Sections 7.5 and 9.2, respectively, but not yet resolved (such unresolved claims and any subsequent claims that remain unresolved, the “Unresolved Indemnification Claims”) as of the First Anniversary Date.

(ii) On the Second Anniversary Date, the Indemnity Escrow Agent shall release all or a portion of the remaining Indemnity Escrow Fund to or for the account of the Other Stockholders such that, following such release, the amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund, if any, equals the aggregate amount of Unresolved Indemnification Claims as of the Second Anniversary Date.

(iii) To the extent applicable, the amount of the Indemnity Escrow Fund retained for the Unresolved Indemnification Claims shall be released by the Indemnity Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Indemnity Escrow Agreement to or for the account of the Other Stockholders (to the extent not utilized to pay the Parent Indemnitees for any such claims resolved in favor of the Parent Indemnitees) upon the resolution of such claims in accordance with this Section 9.6 and the terms of the Indemnity Escrow Agreement.

(iv) In connection with the release of all or a portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund by the Indemnity Escrow Agent to or for the account of the Other Stockholders in accordance with this Section 9.6(c) and the Indemnity Escrow Agreement, each Other Stockholder shall receive its Pro Rata Portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund so released.

(d) Proportionate Reduction in MDP Stockholder Obligations. The MDP Stockholder’s liability hereunder and under the MDP Limited Guaranty shall be reduced in the same proportion as any reduction in the Indemnity Escrow Amount made pursuant to Section 9.6(c)(i).

9.7 Exclusive Remedy. Following the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy, other than with respect to claims for fraud, for any party hereto for any claim (whether such claim is framed in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any

58

representation, warranty, agreement or covenant in this Agreement or with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby shall be a claim for indemnification pursuant to Article 7 or this Article 9. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, other than with respect to claims for fraud, no claim shall be brought or maintained by any Parent Indemnitee against the Stockholders for any claim (whether such claim is framed in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant in this Agreement or with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than in compliance with and pursuant to Article 7 or this Article 9. Except as provided in this Agreement, none of the Stockholders or Parent (or, as applicable, the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries) shall be entitled to any rights of contribution or set-off against the other party(ies) hereto (including, as applicable, the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries) following the Closing. Except for claims under the Written Consent, under no circumstances shall any Parent Indemnitee make any claim, demand or otherwise seek any remedy or recovery from or against any Other Stockholder under or related to this Agreement; rather, any and all such claims, demands, remedies or recoveries from or against any Other Stockholder shall be pursuant to, and recourse solely against, the Indemnity Escrow Fund. Except for claims under the Written Consent or the MDP Limited Guaranty, under no circumstances shall any Parent Indemnitee make any claim, demand or otherwise seek any remedy or recovery from or against the MDP Stockholder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than as expressly provided, and subject to the limitations contained in, this Agreement.

9.8 Treatment of Payment. Any indemnification payments made pursuant to Article 7 or this Article 9 shall be treated as adjustments to purchase price.

9.9 Subrogation. Upon making any indemnification payment under this Article 9, the Indemnitor will, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee against any third party in respect of the Loss to which the payment relates; provided, however, that until the Indemnitee recovers full payment of its Loss, any and all claims of the Indemnitor against any such third party on account of said payment are hereby made expressly subordinated and subjected in right of payment to the Indemnitee’s rights against such third party. Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof, each such Indemnitee and Indemnitor shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above-described subrogation and subordination rights.

ARTICLE 10

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

10.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and abandoned at any time prior to the Closing Date:

(a) by mutual written consent of the Company and Parent;

(b) by either the Company or Parent if any Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action after the date hereof permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated hereby and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable;

59

(c) by either the Company or Parent if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not have been consummated on or before 5:30 p.m. New York City time on April 30, 2012 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that if as of the Outside Date, the Closing shall not have occurred by virtue of the condition contained in Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(b) not being satisfied, either the Company or Parent shall have the right to extend the Outside Date for up to 45 days for the sole and exclusive purpose of permitting the satisfaction of such condition; provided, further, that in the event that the Outside Date is extended pursuant to the immediately foregoing proviso and the Closing shall not have occurred by such Outside Date (as so extended) by virtue of either (i) the condition contained in Section 8.1(a)(iii) or Section 8.1(a)(iv) not being satisfied, or (ii) the condition contained in Section 8.1(b) not being satisfied as a result of the involvement of any of the GS Funds or any of their respective affiliates in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the proposed ownership or control, directly or indirectly, in the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries by any of the GS Funds or any of their respective affiliates following the Closing (except to the extent such failure of such condition results from errors in the country-by-country sales data provided by the Company to Parent prior to the date hereof) (a “Section 10.1(c)(ii) Event”), then either the Company or Parent shall have the right to extend the Outside Date for up to an additional 45 days for the sole and exclusive purpose of permitting the satisfaction of such condition; provided, further, that if the Marketing Period has commenced on or prior to the Outside Date, but has not ended on or prior to the Outside Date (a “Straddle Marketing Period”), then the Outside Date shall automatically be extended such that it is the fifth (5th) Business Day following the final day of such Straddle Marketing Period (it being understood that in the event that the Straddle Marketing Period ends, is interrupted, fails or is otherwise terminated for any reason prior to the twentieth (20th) consecutive day thereof, then the Outside Date shall be the date of such end, interruption, failure or termination); provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(c) shall not be available to or on behalf of any party whose action or failure to act has been the primary cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to be consummated on or prior to such date;

(e) by Parent if there is any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement, such that the conditions specified in Section 8.2 would not be satisfied at the Closing (a “Terminating Company Breach”), except that, if such Terminating Company Breach is curable by the Company through the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts, then, for a period of up to sixty (60) days, but only as long as the Company continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach (the “Company Cure Period”), such termination shall not be effective, and such termination shall become effective only if the Terminating Company Breach is not cured within the Company Cure Period; provided the right to terminate under this Section 10.1(e) shall not be available to the Parent if the Company would then be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(f)(i) (or would be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(f)(i) after the requisite cure period if the Parent does not cure any applicable Terminating Parent Breach); or

(f) by the Company, if (i) there is any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement, such that the conditions specified in Section 8.3 would not be satisfied at the Closing (a “Terminating Parent Breach”), except that if such Terminating Parent Breach is curable by Parent or Merger Sub through the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts, then, for a

60

period of up to sixty (60) days, but only as long as Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to cure such Terminating Parent Breach (the “Parent Cure Period”), such termination shall not be effective, and such termination shall become effective only if the Terminating Parent Breach is not cured within the Parent Cure Period; provided the right to terminate under this Section 10.1(f) (i) shall not be available to the Company if Parent would then be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(e) (or would be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(e) after the requisite cure period if the Company does not cure any applicable Terminating Company Breach), or (ii) all of the conditions set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing or, in the case or Section 8.2(d), two (2) Business Days prior to Closing) (and the period specified for Closing in the proviso to Section 1.2 shall not be pending and shall have lapsed), the Company provides notice to Parent that the Company is prepared to consummate the Closing and Parent and Merger Sub fail to complete the Closing at the date the Closing should have occurred in accordance with Section 1.2.

10.2 Parent Termination Fee.

(a) If this Agreement is validly terminated by:

(i) the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 10.1(c) and at the time of such termination this Agreement could have been terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 10.1(f) (ignoring for the purpose of this Section 10.2(a) any right that Parent may have to cure any Terminating Parent Breach);

(ii) by the Company pursuant to Section 10.1(f);

(iii) by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 10.1(b) or Section 10.1(c) as a result of the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(a)(i), 8(a)(ii) or Section 8.1(a)(iv) to be satisfied;

(iv) by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 10.1(b) or Section 10.1(c) as a result of the failure of the condition set forth in Section 8.1(a)(iii) to be satisfied and there was a South Africa Clearance Issue; or

(v) by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 10.1(b) or Section 10.1(c) as a result of the failure of the condition set forth in Section 8.1(a)(iii) to be satisfied and there was not a South Africa Clearance Issue;

(vi) by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 10.1(b) or Section 10.1(c) as a result of the failure of the condition set forth in Section 8.1(b) to be satisfied as a result of a Section 10.1(c)(ii) Event;

then Parent shall (x) pay the Parent Termination Fee to the Company and (y) reimburse the Company for the aggregate amount of fees, costs and expenses required to be reimbursed by Parent under Sections 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 (such amount, the “Expense Reimbursement Amount”). In the event the Parent Termination Fee is payable, such fee shall be paid by Parent in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Company, within one (1) Business Day after the date on which this Agreement is terminated. In the event the Expense Reimbursement

61

If a court of competent jurisdiction has declined to specifically enforce the obligations of a breaching party to consummate the Merger pursuant to a claim for specific performance brought against such breaching party, and has instead granted an award of damages for such alleged breach, and this Agreement has terminated, then (i) the Company, as non-breaching party, may enforce such award, but only up to the amount of the Parent Termination Fee and the Expense Reimbursement Amount, (plus any interest and costs incurred by or on behalf of the Company in enforcing the provisions of Section 10.2 (and any other provisions of this Agreement in connection therewith) as provided in Section 10.2(b), and accept the Parent Termination Fee for such alleged breach on behalf of the Stockholders, or (ii) Parent or Merger Sub, as non-breaching parties, may enforce such award and accept damages for such alleged breach but only up to the amount of the Parent Termination Fee and the Expense Reimbursement Amount, plus any interest and costs incurred by or on behalf of the Company in enforcing the provisions of Section 10.2 (and any other provisions of this Agreement in connection therewith) as provided in Section 10.2(b).
