meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.
1.Grant of Performance Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby awards to the
Participant pursuant to the Plan the number of performance restricted stock
units (“Performance RSUs”) as set forth in Exhibit A. A Performance RSU
constitutes an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to deliver (or
cause to be delivered) to the Participant, subject to the terms of this Award
and the Plan, one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 (“Share”)
for each Performance RSU that vests in accordance with the terms and conditions
of Section 2 below and Exhibit A. Until delivery of the Shares, the Participant
has only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company, and no
rights as a shareholder of the Company.
2.Vesting. Subject to Sections 3, 4, and 9 below, the Performance RSUs shall
vest in accordance with the performance-based and time-based vesting conditions,
as applicable, set forth in Exhibit A. Notwithstanding provisions to the
contrary and subject to the provisions of Section 8 below, the Company may cause
such number of Performance RSUs to vest prior to the vesting dates and issuance
of the Company’s common stock in satisfaction thereof to the extent necessary to
satisfy any Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 8 below) that may arise
before the vesting dates.
3.Termination of Employment Before One Year Anniversary of Grant. If the
Participant ceases to provide services as an employee of the Company and its
Affiliates for any reason prior to the one-year anniversary of the Award Date,
the Participant shall forfeit all rights to and interests in the Performance
RSUs.
4.Termination of Employment On or After One Year Anniversary of Grant.
(a) If the Participant ceases to provide services as an employee of the Company
and its Affiliates on or after the one year anniversary of the Award Date as a
result of Retirement, death or Disability, the Participant shall vest in the
Performance RSUs to the extent provided in Exhibit A.
(b) If the Participant ceases to provide services as an employee of the Company
and its Affiliates on or after the one year anniversary of the Award Date for
any reason

-1-

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

other than Retirement, death or Disability, the Participant shall forfeit all
rights to and interests in the unvested Performance RSUs.
5.Voting. The Participant will not have any rights of a shareholder of the
Company with respect to Performance RSUs until delivery of the underlying
Shares.
6.Dividend Equivalents. The Participant will not be entitled to dividends or
dividend equivalents with respect to the Performance RSUs.
7.Transfer Restrictions. The Performance RSUs are non-transferable and may not
be assigned, pledged or hypothecated and shall not be subject to execution,
attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to effect any such disposition,
or upon the levy of any such process, the Performance RSUs that have not been
settled shall immediately be forfeited.
8.Withholding Taxes.
(a)    The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the
Company or, if different, the Participant’s employer (the “Employer”), the
ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe
benefit tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the
Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the
Participant (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Participant’s
responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the
Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the
Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of
any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Performance RSU,
including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the
Performance RSU, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the
settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are
under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the
Performance RSU to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for
Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the
Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction
between the Award Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding
event, as applicable, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the
Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or
account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)    Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable,
the Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company
and/or the Employer to satisfy Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the
Participant authorizes the Company or its agents, at its discretion, to satisfy
the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding in Shares to
be issued upon vesting and settlement of the Performance RSU. In the event that
such withholding in Shares is problematic under applicable tax or securities law
or has materially adverse accounting consequences, by the Participant’s
acceptance of the Performance RSU, the Participant authorizes and directs the
Company and any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company to sell on
the Participant’s behalf a whole number of Shares from those Shares issuable to
the Participant as

-2-

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

the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to
satisfy the obligation for Tax-Related Items. Anything in this Section 8 to the
contrary notwithstanding, to avoid a prohibited acceleration under Code Section
409A, the number of Shares subject to Performance RSUs that will be permitted to
be released and withheld (or sold on the Participant’s behalf) to satisfy any
Tax-Related Items arising prior to the date the Shares are scheduled to be
delivered pursuant to Section 10 for any portion of the Performance RSUs that is
considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A shall
not exceed the number of Shares that equals the liability for the Tax-Related
Items.
(c)    Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account
for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding
rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates.
If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares,
for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number
of Shares subject to the vested Performance RSU, notwithstanding that a number
of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
(d)    Finally, the Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer,
including through withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash
compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer, any
amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to
withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the
Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may
refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if
the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection
with the Tax-Related Items.
9.Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3 and
4, if there is a Change in Control of the Company prior to the payment of the
Award, the terms set forth in Section 6(d)(iii) of the Plan (including Good
Reason protection under Section 6(d)(iii)(ii) thereof) shall govern.
10.Delivery of Shares.
(a)    The Shares shall be delivered within such times as set forth on Exhibit
A.
(b)    Anything in the provisions of this Award to the contrary notwithstanding,
the delivery of the Shares subject to the Award or any other payment under this
Award that constitutes an item of deferred compensation under Code Section 409A
and becomes payable to the Participant by reason of his or her termination of
employment shall not be made to such Participant unless his or her termination
of employment constitutes a “separation from service” (within the meaning of
Code Section 409A). In addition, if such Participant is at the time of such
separation from service a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code
Section 409A), the delivery of the Shares (or other payment) described in the
foregoing sentence shall be made to the Participant on the earlier of (i) the
first day immediately following the expiration of the six-month period measured
from such

-3-

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

Participant’s separation from service, or (ii) the date of the Participant’s
death, to the extent such delayed payment is otherwise required in order to
avoid a prohibited distribution under U.S. Treasury Regulations issued under
Code Section 409A.
(c)    Until the Company determines otherwise, delivery of Shares on each
applicable settlement date will be administered by the Company’s transfer agent
or an independent third-party broker selected from time to time by the Company.
11.Change in Capital Structure. The terms of this Award, including the number of
Performance RSUs, shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 13 of the Plan as
the Committee determines is equitably required in the event the Company effects
one or more stock dividends, stock split-ups, subdivisions or consolidations of
Shares or other similar changes in capitalization.
12.Detrimental Conduct Agreement. The obligations of the Company under this
Award are subject to the Participant’s timely execution, delivery and compliance
with the Detrimental Conduct Agreement in the form provided by the Company to
the Participant.
13.Code Section 409A. This Award is intended to be exempt from or compliant with
Code Section 409A and the U.S. Treasury Regulations relating thereto so as not
to subject the Participant to the payment of additional taxes and interest under
Code Section 409A. In furtherance of this intent, the provisions of this Award
will be interpreted, operated, and administered in a manner consistent with
these intentions. The Committee may modify the terms of this Award, the Plan or
both, without the consent of the Participant, beneficiary or such other person,
in the manner that the Committee may determine to be necessary or advisable in
order to comply with Code Section 409A and to avoid the imposition of any
penalty tax or other adverse tax consequences under Code Section 409A. This
Section 13 does not create an obligation on the part of the Company to modify
the terms of this Award or the Plan and does not guarantee that the Award or the
delivery of Shares under the Award will not be subject to taxes, interest and
penalties or any other adverse tax consequences under Code Section 409A. The
Company will have no liability to the Participant or any other party if the
Award, the delivery of Shares upon settlement of the Award or other payment
hereunder that is intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Code Section
409A, is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Committee
with respect thereto.
14.Entire Agreement. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference and a copy of
the Plan can be requested from the Corporate Secretary, The Dun & Bradstreet
Corporation, 103 JFK Parkway, Short Hills, New Jersey 07078. The Plan and this
Award constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior understandings
and agreements with respect to such subject matter. To the extent any provision
of this Award is inconsistent or in conflict with any term or provision of the
Plan, the Plan shall govern. Any action taken or decision made by the Committee
arising out of or in connection with the construction, administration,
interpretation or effect of this Award shall be within its sole and

-4-

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

absolute discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the
Participant and all persons claiming under or through the Participant.
15.No Rights to Continued Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan or this
Award shall give the Participant any right to be retained in the employment of
the Company or its Affiliates or affect the right of any such Employer to
terminate the Participant. The adoption and maintenance of the Plan shall not
constitute an inducement to, or condition of, the employment of any Participant.
The Plan is a discretionary plan, and participation by the Participant is purely
voluntary. The future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable
and cannot be predicted with certainty. Participation in the Plan with respect
to this Award shall not entitle the Participant to participate with respect to
any other award in the future, or benefits in lieu of Performance RSUs, even if
Performance RSUs have been granted in the past. Any payment or benefit paid to
the Participant with respect to this Award shall not be considered to be part of
the Participant’s “salary,” and thus, shall not be taken into account for
purposes of calculating any Participant’s termination indemnity, severance pay,
retirement or pension payment, or any other Participant benefits.
16.Successors and Assigns. This Award shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of all successors and assigns of the Company and the Participant,
including without limitation, the estate of the Participant and the executor,
administrator or trustee of such estate or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy
or representative of the Participant’s creditors.
17.Severability. The terms or conditions of this Award shall be deemed severable
and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or condition hereof shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of the other terms and conditions set
forth herein.
18.No Advice Regarding Award. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or
financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendation regarding the
Participant’s participation in the Plan, or the acquisition or sale of
underlying Shares. The Participant is advised to consult with his or her
personal tax, legal, and financial advisors regarding the decision to
participate in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
19.Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to
deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by
electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by
electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or
electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party
designated by the Company. The Participant hereby agrees that all on-line
acknowledgements shall have the same force and effect as a written signature.
20.Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other
requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Performance
RSU and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company
determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or

-5-

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

administrative reasons, and to require the Participant to sign any additional
agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
21.Clawback/Recovery. If the Participant is now or is hereafter subject to any
clawback policy that the Company has adopted or is required to adopt pursuant to
listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which
the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other Applicable
Law, the Performance RSUs will be subject to recoupment in accordance with such
clawback policy.
22.Waiver. The Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company or breach
of any provision of this Award shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of
any other provision of this Award, or of any subsequent breach by the
Participant or any other Participant.

giving effect to its conflicts of law principles) govern exclusively all matters

of venue of any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Award brought in any court of the State of New Jersey, U.S.A., or the United
States District Court for the District of New Jersey, including, without

into three (3) equal tranches. Any fractional Performance RSUs will be added to
the final tranche so that the sum of the three tranches equals the Target
Number. The three (3) tranches will be comprised of a one-year, two-year, and

its Affiliates through the applicable Time-Based Vesting Date. The Share value
appreciation/depreciation shall be equal to the difference between (i) the
average of the mean of the high and low trading price of the Shares for each
trading day as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for the 30 consecutive
trading days commencing on the first trading day of the Performance Period, and
(ii) the average of the mean of the high and low trading price of the Shares for
each trading day as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for the 30
consecutive trading days commencing on the date following the last day of the
applicable Installment Performance Period.
As soon as practicable following the end of each Installment Performance Period,

intended to constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” within the
meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, shall certify, the attainment level

otherwise vest based on the attainment of the performance goals.

(a)If the Participant ceases to provide services as an employee of the Company
and its Affiliates on or after the one-year anniversary of the Award Date due to

termination that occurs following the end of an Installment Performance Period
but prior to the Time-Based Vesting Date corresponding to such Installment
Performance Period, the actual number of Performance RSUs that vest based on
attainment of the performance goals corresponding to the Installment Performance
Period and the Target Number corresponding to the Installment Performance Period
during which the termination occurs and to the subsequent Installment
Performance Period, if any.

and its Affiliates on or after the one-year anniversary of the Award Date due to
Retirement, any unvested Performance RSUs shall become vested with respect to:

preceding Time-Based Vesting Date, a pro rata portion of the actual number of

corresponding to the Installment Performance Period during which the termination
occurs and to the subsequent Installment Performance Period, if any; and (ii) in
the event of a termination that occurs following the end of an Installment
Performance Period but prior to the Time-Based Vesting Date corresponding to
such Installment Performance Period, the actual number of Performance RSUs that
vest based on attainment of the performance goals corresponding to the
Installment Performance Period and a pro rata portion of the actual number of
Performance RSUs that vest based on attainment of the performance goals
corresponding to the Installment Performance Period during which the termination
occurs and to the subsequent Installment Performance Period, if any. The pro
rata portion of the Performance RSUs payable under this Section 5(b) shall be
calculated by multiplying the Target Number by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of whole months the Participant was actively providing
services to the Company or any Affiliate during the applicable Installment
Performance Period and the denominator of which is the number of months in the
corresponding Installment Performance Period.

event of a termination that occurs prior to the last day of the Performance
Period, a pro rata portion of the number of Eligible PRSUs and (ii) in the event
of a termination that occurs following the last day of the Performance Period
but prior to a Time-Based Vesting Date, the number of Eligible PRSUs. The pro
rata portion of the Performance RSUs payable under this Section 5(b) shall be
calculated by multiplying the Target Number by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of whole months the Participant was actively providing
services to the Company or any Affiliate during the Performance Period and the
denominator of which is thirty-six (36).
6.    Delivery of Shares. Subject to Section 10 of the Agreement, the Shares
corresponding to Eligible PRSUs shall be delivered in accordance with the
following: (i) the Eligible PRSUs shall be delivered in two equal installments
within 60 days of the applicable Time-Based Vesting Dates, respectively
(including cases where the Participant terminates employment due to Retirement);
or (ii) if earlier, (1) within 60 days of the Participant’s termination of
employment due to death or Disability, or (2) as contemplated under Section 9 of
the Agreement in connection with a Change in Control; provided, however, that if
the Award constitutes an item of deferred compensation under Code Section 409A
and the vesting event is a Change in Control that is not a “change in control
event” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, the Shares shall be delivered on
the earliest vesting event contemplated under this Section 6(i) or (ii)(1).
