(NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR GRANT)

AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT made as of the ____ day of _____________, 2007,
between Interactive Data Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and ____________ (the “Director”). This Agreement is subject to the provisions
of the Company’s 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a copy of which is
furnished to the Director with this Agreement. Capitalized terms appearing
herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Plan.

WHEREAS, on ______, 2006, (the “Grant Date”), the Company and the Director
entered into an agreement (the “Original Agreement”) pursuant to which the
Director was awarded _____ Restricted Stock Units (“Units”).

WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 8(j) of the Original Agreement, the Company
and the Director wish to amend the terms of the Original Agreement in order to
ensure that it complies with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section
409A”).

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged,
the Original Agreement is hereby restated, superseded and replaced in its
entirety by this Agreement, as follows:

1. Number of Restricted Stock Units Granted.

The Company hereby grants to the Director _____ Units. Each Unit represents the
right to receive one (1) Share of the Company’s Common Stock (“Stock”) pursuant
to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement.

2. Vesting.

 

  (a) Vesting Schedule. The Units will vest (becoming “Vested Units”) on the
earliest of the following dates (each a “Vesting Date”):

 

  (i) 100% on _______, 2009, the third anniversary of the Grant Date if the
Director is a director, officer or employee of the Company, its Parent or a
Subsidiary on that date;

 

  (ii) a pro-rata percentage of the Units (based on full months of service), on
the date of the Director’s death;

 

  (iii) 100% immediately upon the Director’s Separation from Service with the
Company (as defined below) for any reason other than for Cause; or

 

1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  (iv) if the Director is then a director of the Company, 100% immediately prior
to a Change in Control if, in connection with the Change in Control the Stock
will no longer be listed on a recognized national securities exchange.

 

  (b) Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean (i) the
Director’s material breach of any term of any agreement with the Company,
including without limitation any violation of confidentiality and/or
non-competition agreements; (ii) the Director’s conviction for any act of fraud,
theft, criminal dishonesty, or any felony; (iii) the Director’s engagement in
illegal conduct, gross misconduct, or an act involving moral turpitude which is
materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company; or (iv) the Director’s
breach of any fiduciary duty owed to the Company.

 

  (c) Continuous Relationship with the Company Required. A Unit will not vest
unless, on at the time of vesting, the Director is, and has been at all times
since the Grant Date, a director, officer or employee of the Company.

 

  (d) Separation from Service. For purposes of this Agreement, “Separation from
Service” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 409A of Code determined in
accordance with the default rules thereunder.

3. Change in Control.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of
any of the following events at any time after the Grant Date:

 

  (a) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of
Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”) or any successor provisions thereto) of beneficial ownership (as
defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act or any successor provision thereto),
directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50%
of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting
securities; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (a), the
following acquisitions shall be disregarded: (x) any acquisition by any employee
benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any
corporation controlled by the Company, (y) any acquisition by a corporation
owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially
the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, or (z) any
acquisition by Pearson plc (“Pearson”);

 

  (b) The consummation of a merger, consolidation, or reorganization of the
Company with or involving any other entity or the sale or other disposition of
all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (any of these events being a
“Business Combination”), unless, immediately following such Business
Combination, at least one of the following conditions is satisfied:

 

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(x) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the
beneficial owners of the outstanding voting securities of the Company
immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or
indirectly, at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities
of the resulting or acquiring entity in such Business Combination (which shall
include, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such Business
Combination owns the Company or substantially all of the Company’s assets either
directly or through one or more subsidiaries) (such resulting or acquiring
entity is referred to herein as the “Surviving Entity”) in substantially the
same proportions as their ownership of the outstanding voting securities of the
Company immediately prior to such Business Combination, or

(y) Pearson beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the
combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Surviving
Entity; or

 

  (c) The stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of
the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control will not be deemed to have
occurred with respect to the Director if the Director is part of a purchasing
group that consummates the Change in Control transaction. The Director shall be
deemed “part of a purchasing group” for purposes of the preceding sentence if
the Director is either directly or indirectly an equity participant in the
purchasing group (except for (A) passive ownership of less than 3% of the stock
of the purchasing group, or (B) ownership of equity participating in the
purchasing group which is otherwise not significant, as determined prior to the
Change in Control by the Committee). Moreover, notwithstanding the forgoing, to
the extent that the Units are subject to Section 409A of Code and settlement of
the Units will accelerate upon a Change in Control pursuant to Section 3 of this
Agreement, no events set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above shall constitute
a Change in Control unless such event(s) also constitutes a “change in
ownership”, “change in the effective control” or a “change in the ownership of a
substantial portion of the assets” of the Company as defined under Section 409A
of the Code.

4. Dividend Equivalent Rights.

If, prior to the settlement of any Units, dividends are declared with respect to
shares of Stock, the Company will grant the Director additional Units with a
value equal to the dividends the Director would have received if the unsettled
Units had been actual shares of Stock, based on the Fair Market Value of a share
of Stock on the applicable dividend payment date rounded down to the nearest
whole Unit. Any additional Units granted pursuant to this Section 4 shall be
considered additional Units under this Agreement for all purposes, and shall be
subject to the same restrictions and conditions as the original Units with
respect to which they were credited.

5. Restrictions on Transfer.

The Director shall not, voluntarily or involuntarily, sell, assign, transfer,
pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise,
(collectively “Transfer”) any Units, or any interest therein, except as provided
in the Plan. Any Transfer of the Director’s Units made, or any attachment,
execution, garnishment, or lien issued against or placed upon Units, other than
as so permitted, shall be void ab initio.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.

 

  (a) Scheduled Settlement Date. Subject to Section 6, each Vested Unit will be
settled by the delivery of one (1) share of Stock to the Director (or in the
event of the Director’s death, to the Director’s estate or designated
beneficiary) within seventy-five (75) days following the third anniversary of
the Grant Date, and in no event shall settlement occur after March 15th of the
year following the year in which the Vesting Date occurs.

 

  (b) Automatic Settlement of Vested Units Upon Cessation of Public Trading. If
there is an event described in Section 2(a)(iv) of this Agreement that causes
all outstanding Units to vest, each Vested Unit shall automatically be settled
by delivery of one (1) share of Stock to the Director (or in the event of the
Director’s death, to the Director’s estate or designated beneficiary) upon the
effective date of the Change in Control.

 

  (c) Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, if, upon the Director’s termination of service with the Company
for any reason, the Company determines the Director is a “specified employee” as
defined in Section 409A (determined in accordance with the uniform methodology
and procedures adopted by the Company and then in effect) the Units may not be
settled before the earlier of (i) the first business day following the date
which is six (6) months after the Director’s termination of service for any
reason other than death or (ii) the date of the Director’s death. The provisions
of this Section 6(c) shall only apply if required to comply with Section 409A.

 

  (d) Termination for Cause. If the Director’s service as a director of the
Company is terminated for Cause, all Units (including all unsettled Vested
Units) will be automatically and immediately cancelled.

7. Withholding Taxes.

The Director shall pay to the Company, or make provision satisfactory to the
Committee for payment of, any taxes required by law to be withheld or paid in
connection with the Director’s Units no later than the date of the event
creating the tax liability. Except as the otherwise provided in this Agreement,
the Committee may permit the Director to satisfy any tax obligations in whole or
in part by delivery of shares of Stock, including shares acquired in connection
with the settlement of Units creating the tax obligation, valued at their Fair
Market Value; provided, however, that the total tax withholding where Stock is
being used to satisfy such tax obligations cannot exceed the Company’s minimum
statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates
for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable
to such supplemental taxable income). Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Director’s satisfaction of any such tax withholding requirements
shall be a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation as may otherwise be
provided hereunder to provide Stock to the Director.

THE DIRECTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE HAS REVIEWED WITH HIS OWN TAX ADVISORS THE
FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. THE DIRECTOR IS RELYING SOLELY ON SUCH ADVISORS
AND NOT ON ANY STATEMENTS OR REPRESENTATIONS OF THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS
AGENTS. THE DIRECTOR UNDERSTANDS THAT HE (AND NOT THE COMPANY) SHALL BE SOLELY
RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TAX LIABILITIES THAT MAY ARISE AS A RESULT OF THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

8. Miscellaneous.

 

  (a) Acquired Rights. This Agreement does not (i) constitute a contract of
employment, (ii) confer upon the Director any right to continue as a director of
the Company, or (iii) affect the right of the shareholders of the Company to
remove or decline to re-elect the Director to the Board (for any reason or no
reason). The Director understands and accepts that the benefits granted under
the Plan and this Agreement are entirely at the discretion of the Company and
that the Company retains the right to amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any
time, in its sole discretion and, except as otherwise provided in the Plan,
without notice.

necessary or advisable under applicable securities laws or the rules and
regulations of any stock exchange or market upon which the Stock is listed.

 

  (c) Data Protection. To the extent reasonably necessary to administer the
Plan: (i) the Company may process personal data about the Director, including,

and (c) information about the Director’s participation in the Plan and shares
exercised under the Plan from time to time; and (ii) the Director gives explicit
consent to the Company to (x) process any such personal data, and (y) transfer
any such personal data outside the country in which the Director lives, works or
is employed, including, without limitation, to the Company and any of its
Subsidiaries and agents, including the outside stock plan administrator as
selected by the Company from time to time, and any other person the Company may
deem appropriate in its administration of the Plan. The Director has the right
to access and correct his personal data by contacting a local Human Resources
Representative. The transfer of the information outlined here is important to
the administration of the Plan and failure to consent to the transmission of
such information may limit or prohibit the Director from participating in the
Plan.

 

  (d) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision
of this Agreement and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable
and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  (e) Waiver. Any provision for the benefit of the Company contained in this
Agreement may be waived, either generally or in any particular instance, by the
Board.

versa.

 

  (i) Incorporation by Reference; Entire Agreement. The Director hereby
acknowledges that he has access to a copy of the Plan. The text and all of the
terms and provisions of the Plan, as amended from time to time, are incorporated
in this Agreement by reference. If there is any inconsistency between the terms
of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern. This Agreement and the
Plan constitute the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all
prior agreements and understandings, relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement.

 

  (j) Amendment. The Director understands and accepts that the benefits granted
under the Plan are entirely at the discretion of the Company and that the
Company retains the right to amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any time, in
its sole discretion; provided, however, that no such termination, amendment or
modification of the Plan may adversely affect, in any material respect, the
Director’s rights under this Agreement without the Director’s consent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have broad authority to amend
this Agreement without the consent of the Director to the extent it deems
necessary or desirable (i) to comply with or take into account changes in or

  (k)

Section 409A. Payments contemplated with respect to the Units are intended to
comply with the short-term deferral exemption under Section 409A of the Code.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, or any provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if
the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Company determines that such exemption is not applicable to the Units, or any
provision of this Agreement or the Plan contravenes Section 409A of the Code or
could cause the Director to incur any taxes, interest or penalties under
Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and without
the Director’s consent, modify such provision to (i) comply with, or avoid being
subject to, Section 409A of the Code, or to avoid the incurrence of additional
taxes, interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code, and (ii) to
maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent and economic
benefit to the Director of the applicable provision without materially
increasing the cost to the Company or contravening the provisions of
Section 409A of the Code. This Section 8(k) does not create an obligation on the
part of the Company to modify the Plan or this Agreement and does not guarantee
that the Units will not be subject to interest and penalties under Section 409A
of the Code.

 

  (l) Governing Law. This Agreement will be subject to all applicable laws,
rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or
stock exchanges as may be required. This Agreement shall be construed,
interpreted and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
Delaware without regard to any applicable conflicts of laws. The Director agrees
to take all steps the Company determines are necessary to comply with all
applicable provisions of securities laws.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the
day and year first above written.
