(b)           General Indemnification.

(i)            IMS Health hereby agrees, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the maximum extent permitted by law, each Indemnitee from all liability, loss or damage (including without limitation any special, indirect, direct, or consequential damages) and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses any of them may incur or suffer (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) as a result of any misstatement of any material fact contained in any representation or warranty made by IMS Health, IMS AG or CMS in, or any breach or default by any of them in the due and punctual performance of any covenant, obligation or indemnity under, any Investment Document to which any of them are parties.

(ii)           Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, IMS Health agrees to pay each Class A Member delay damages for (x) the failure by the Liquidator to pay the full amount of such Class A Member’s Capital Account within the time period required by Section 12.02 of the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, (y) the failure by any IMS Health Member or its designee to pay the Purchase Price to any Class A Member within the time period required in Section 14.03 of the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, or (z) the failure of the IMS Health LLC to distribute and pay to such Class A Member on the applicable Retirement Date the amounts required to be so distributed and paid pursuant to Section 10.08(b) of the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement. Delay damages for any such Class A Member shall be in an amount, accrued and payable daily without demand, calculated as the excess, if any, of (A) an amount equal to interest at 2.5% per annum in excess of the London Inter Bank Offered Rate at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day for three-month Eurodollar deposits offered by prime banks in the Eurodollar market on the amount not distributed or paid over (B) any amount of Priority Return (whether distributed or paid as part of the Purchase Price) paid to such Class A Member.

SECTION 3. Obligation Absolute.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the obligation of IMS Health under the Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

6

(a)           Any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Performance Obligations or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the Performance Obligations; or

(b)           Any change in the time, manner or place of performance, or in any other term, of all or any of the Performance Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Investment Documents, including, without limitation, any increase in or modification of the Performance Obligations or the dissolution of the IMS Health LLC; or

(c)           Any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure, existence or ownership of the IMS Health LLC, IMS AG or CMS; or

(d)           Any other circumstance, including without limitation any statute of limitation, which might otherwise constitute a defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) available to, or a discharge of, IMS AG, CMS or IMS Health or a guarantor or indemnitor generally; or

(e)           Any act or omission of any Indemnitee or any past or future Indemnitee; or

(f)            The existence of any claims, setoff or other right that IMS Health may have hereunder or under any other document at any time against any Indemnitee, the IMS Health LLC, IMS AG, CMS or any other Person (but the foregoing shall not constitute a waiver or surrender of any such rights).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, IMS Health’s liability hereunder shall extend to all liability, loss or damage and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred or suffered by an Indemnitee arising from any breach of or failure to perform any Performance Obligations for which IMS AG or CMS would have been obligated under the Investment Documents but for the fact that such Performance Obligation is unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving IMS AG or CMS, as the case may be. The obligations of IMS Health under this Agreement are independent of the Performance Obligations and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against IMS Health to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against IMS AG or CMS or whether IMS AG or CMS is joined in any such action or actions. Such action or actions may be brought by the Indemnitee without the necessity of joining any prior Indemnitee in such action or actions. IMS Health’s obligations under this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment by IMS Health, IMS AG or CMS in satisfaction of any of their respective Performance Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of IMS Health, the IMS Health LLC, IMS AG or CMS or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

SECTION 4. Waiver.

IMS Health hereby waives promptness, presentment, demand, protest, diligence, and any other notice with respect to any of the Performance Obligations and IMS Health’s obligations under this Agreement and any requirement that the Indemnitee exhaust any right or take any action against the IMS Health LLC, IMS AG or CMS or any other person or entity.

7

SECTION 5. Subrogation.

(a)           IMS Health understands that the exercise by any Indemnitee of certain rights and remedies contained in the Investment Documents may affect or eliminate IMS Health’s right of subrogation against IMS AG or CMS and that IMS Health may therefore incur a partially or totally nonreimbursable liability hereunder; nevertheless, IMS Health hereby authorizes and empowers each Indemnitee to exercise any right or remedies, or any combination thereof, which may then be available even if the effect of such exercise is to affect or eliminate IMS Health’s right of subrogation as aforesaid, since it is the intent and purpose of IMS Health that the obligations of IMS Health hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances.

(b)           IMS Health shall not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Agreement, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, until all the Performance Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash or performed in full. If any amount shall be paid to IMS Health on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all the Performance Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Indemnitee and shall forthwith be paid to the Indemnitee to be credited and applied to the Performance Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Investment Documents. If (i) IMS Health shall make payment to the Indemnitee of all or any part of the Performance Obligations and (ii) all the Performance Obligations shall be paid in full in cash, the Indemnitee shall, at IMS Health’s request and expense, execute and deliver to IMS Health appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to IMS Health of an interest in the Performance Obligations resulting from such payment by IMS Health.

SECTION 6. Costs of Enforcement.
