  Re: Consulting Agreement

Dear Bobby:

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of TransUnion Holding Company, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is pleased that you have agreed to provide
advice and guidance to the Board and its new President/Chief Executive Officer
(the “New CEO”) with respect to the transition of duties from you (as the former
President/Chief Executive Officer of the Company) to the New CEO, and the
development and pursuit of organic and inorganic strategic business
opportunities that are being, or may be, pursued by the Company. To that end, we
are extending to you an offer to be a consultant to the Company and, subject to
the approval of the shareholders of the Company, a member of the Board (and
selected subsidiaries thereof) on the terms and conditions set forth in this
letter agreement (this “Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed thereto in Section 11 hereof.

1. Term. The term of this Agreement shall be the period beginning on January 1,
2013 and ending on December 31, 2013 (the “Term”). Thereafter, as of the date
the Term (as it may be extended from time to time under this Section 1) would
otherwise end, the Term will be automatically extended for twelve (12) months,
unless one party to this Agreement provides notice of non-renewal at least sixty
(60) days before the day that would be the last day of this Agreement in the
absence of such renewal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing however, the Term may be reduced in the following
events:

(a) You understand and agree that your appointment and election as a member of
the Board is at the will of the shareholders of the Company. The Sponsors, as
the majority shareholders of the Company, may determine, in their sole
discretion, not to nominate or vote their shares for your election to the Board.
In the event you are not a member of the Board you may, at your option at any
time after such an event occurs, with ten (10) days advance written notice to
the Company, terminate this Agreement; provided that, following any such
termination, the covenants contained in Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall remain in
effect in accordance with their terms.

(b) Due to the personal nature of the performance of the Consulting Services,
this Agreement shall (a) automatically terminate, without further action by
either party, immediately upon your death and (b) be immediately terminable by
the Company upon your disability. As used herein, “disability” shall mean your
medically determinable physical or mental impairment which prevents or
materially and adversely affects your ability to perform the Consulting Services
and which is reasonably anticipated to continue for thirty (30) days or more.

2. Engagement. The Company engages you, as an independent contractor, to provide
the Consulting Services, as defined and described in Section 3 below, on the
terms and conditions set forth

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

herein. All of your obligations under this Agreement shall be performed by you
and you may not delegate them. You hereby accept such engagement, and agree to
diligently and faithfully execute your duties in providing the Consulting
Services. You acknowledge and agree that your role with respect to the Company
is that of a consultant and independent contractor only, and as such, you shall
not (subject to Section 3(b), in the case of clauses (a), (b) and (c)): (a) be
an employee or agent of the Company, nor of the Board, (b) have the authority to
take any action on behalf of the Company or the Board, (c) have the authority to
bind or make decisions on behalf of the Company or the Board, and (d) as a
result of your status or role with the Company pursuant to this Agreement, be
entitled to participate in any benefit or welfare plans or programs the Company
(or an Affiliate thereof) generally makes available to the associates/employees
of the Company (or an Affiliate thereof) in the ordinary course of business.

3. Consulting Services and Board Appointment.

(a) The services to be performed by you under this Agreement (the “Consulting
Services”) shall be to assist the New CEO, as reasonably requested by the New
CEO, in the transition of duties from you (as the prior President/Chief
Executive Officer of the Company) to the New CEO, and, as reasonably requested
by a Sponsor Representative or the New CEO, providing advice and consultation to
the New CEO and/or the Board with respect to the strategic operating plan of the
Company, including recommendations as to how best to implement such plan. In
addition, you shall also be available from time-to-time to provide assistance to
the Board in connection with a strategic opportunity or transaction being
considered by the Company, as a Sponsor Representative may reasonably request.
The parties expect that the Consulting Services to be requested and performed by
you will require approximately eighteen (18) days of work (based on an 8 hour
work day) during a calendar year and the performance of such Consulting Services
shall not require that you be physically present at any facility of the Company.

(b) You are expected to be appointed a member of the Board by the Sponsors and,
if so appointed, shall be deemed an Independent Director. If appointed, you
shall be expected to perform the duties required of a member of the Board and
shall be a participant (as a member or observer) on such Committees of the Board
as requested by the Sponsors. You shall be expected to attend all board and
committee meetings in person (except for unforeseen events or emergencies, or as
agreed to with the Sponsor Representatives or the New CEO) and the time required
for service on the Board of Directors by you shall be in addition to (not in
lieu of) any time spent with respect to providing Consulting Services.

(c) You shall not have an affirmative duty with respect to the financial results
of the Company (except as a member of the Board, or a Committee thereof), but
shall keep yourself apprised of said results.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, subject to your compliance
with any applicable law, rule or regulation and the terms of this Agreement and
the Employment Agreement Restrictions (as defined in Section 9(g) below), you
are not precluded from (i) serving on the advisory boards and boards of
directors of other corporations (that are not Competitors) or the boards of
trade associations and/or charitable organizations, (ii) engaging in charitable
activities and community affairs; or (iii) managing your personal investments
and affairs.

(e) You acknowledge and agree that you will exercise the highest degree of
loyalty and care and that you will act at all times in the best interests of the
Company and its reputation. In keeping with these duties, you will make full
disclosure to the Board of all business opportunities pertaining to the
Company’s business that you become aware of, provided you are not required to
breach any confidentiality agreement or fiduciary relationship you may have with
another Person.

(a) Consulting Services Fee. The Company shall pay an annual consulting fee to
you for the Consulting Services (the “Consulting Services Fee”) in the amount of
One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000). The Consulting Services Fee shall
be deemed fully earned by you when paid by the Company. The Consulting Services
Fee shall be paid on or before January 10 of each calendar year during the Term,
commencing on January 10, 2013. You shall be responsible for all taxes related
to the payment of the Consulting Services Fee. You shall provide the Company
with all required tax identification information necessary for the Company to
prepare and deliver to you a Form 1099 for the payment of the Consulting
Services Fee.

(b) Board Remuneration. As long as you are a member of the Board it is expected
that you will be entitled to, and will participate in, remuneration programs and
benefits as determined by the Board (or a Committee thereof), that are, or will
be, generally provided to Independent Directors. Such remuneration plans,
programs and benefits (if any) will be reflected in the Board (or Committee
thereof) minutes of the Company.

(c) Expenses. Subject to compliance with any applicable policies of the Company,
as amended from time to time, you shall be entitled to receive reimbursement,
upon submission of reasonable supporting documentation, for all reasonable
business expenses incurred by you in connection with the performance of the
Consulting Services or your duties as a director of the Company, on terms not
less favorable than the terms by which the Company reimburses expenses for the
New CEO or other Independent Directors.

5. Company Resources. You shall be permitted, upon the terms and conditions
specified in this Section 5, to use, without charge and in accordance with all
rules and policies of the Company, office space identified and maintained by the
Company (the “Company Premises”) during the Term and to utilize certain other
resources of the Company, as further described in this Section 5.

(a) You are hereby granted a license (a “License”) to use (i) an office as may
be, from time to time, assigned to you (the “Licensed Premises”) in the Company
Premises, including the furniture that may be located in the Licensed Premises
(together with a computer and related equipment), and (ii) any conference space
or other facilities in the Company Premises which are intended for common use by
the occupants thereof.

(b) For so long as the License is in effect, you shall be permitted to obtain
administrative and secretarial assistance, on a non-exclusive basis, from the
Company. In addition, you will be provided human resources and external
consulting resources, as may reasonably be necessary, from time to time, to
assist you in providing the Consulting Services.

(c) For so long as the License is in effect, you shall be permitted to use the
photocopiers, printers and facsimile machines located within the Company

and serve to guests, beverages and other foodstuffs generally made available to
the occupants of the Company Premises.

(f) You acknowledge and agree that you shall be responsible for all other costs
and expenses (in addition to those specified in this Section 5) relating to the
performance of the Consulting Services from and after the date of this
Agreement, except for those expenses which are specifically approved for
reimbursement in accordance with Section 4(c) above.

6. Staffing. You shall be provided access to Company personnel and employees, to
the extent reasonably necessary, to assist you in the performance of the
Consulting Services. Further, the New CEO shall reasonably cooperate and assist
you in the performance of the Consulting Services.

7. Restricted Covenants.

(a) You acknowledge and agree that the Company has expended and will expend
substantial time, effort and resources in developing and maintaining its
Confidential Information, as that phrase is defined in the Confidentiality
Agreement which is attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Confidentiality
Agreement”) and which is fully incorporated herein. You therefore agree that,
contemporaneously with your execution of this Agreement, you also will execute
the Confidentiality Agreement and shall comply with all the terms and conditions
thereof.

(b) You covenant and agree that during the Term and for a period of twelve
(12) months thereafter (the “Non-Compete Period”), you shall not, except as
expressly permitted by this Agreement, directly or indirectly own an interest
in, operate, join, control, advise, work for, consult to, have a financial
interest which provides any control of, or participate in, any Competitor or
Significant Operation. This covenant does not prohibit: (i) your mere ownership
of less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded
corporation as long as you do not actually control such corporation, and
(ii) subject to your compliance with the Confidentiality Agreement and the
Employment Agreement Restrictions, your consultation with, and advice to, any
Person with respect to any strategic operating plan, investment or transaction
to be considered by that Person, provided that in connection with such
consultation or advice such Person does not intend to become a Significant
Operation or the managing or controlling entity of a Competitor or a Significant
Operation.

(c) You covenant and agree that, at all times during the Non-Compete Period, you
shall not, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, directly or
indirectly, on your own behalf or on behalf of any other Person, contact,
solicit, induce or recruit any Customer to acquire any Competitive Product or
Service from any Person other than the Company or its Affiliates.

(d) You covenant and agree that, at all times during the Non-Compete Period, you
shall not receive commissions, agency fees, or compensation of any kind directly
based on a Customers’ agreement to use any Competitive Product or Service from
any Person other than the Company or its Affiliates. As long as you are and
remain in compliance with the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement and
the Employment Agreement Restrictions and comply with any applicable law, rule
or regulation, this provision shall not restrict or prohibit you from receiving
director fees, consulting fees, salary, bonus or benefits (i) as an independent
outside director of any Person who offers a Competitive Product or Service,
provided, such Person is not a Competitor, or (ii) as a consultant, officer or
director of a Customer who may, from time-to-time, consider the use of a
Competitive Product or Service.

(e) You agree that the Company has invested and will invest substantial time and
effort in acquiring and maintaining its workforce. Accordingly, you agree that
at all times during the Term and for twenty-four (24) months thereafter (the
“Non-Solicit Period”), you shall not, nor cause any other Person to, (i) hire
away any individual who was employed by the Company or any Affiliate at any time
during the Non-Solicit Period, or (ii) directly or indirectly, entice, solicit
or seek to induce or influence any such individual to leave their employment
with the Company or an Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
restrictions set forth in this Section 7(e) shall cease to apply with respect to
any individual (other than you) upon such individual’s ceasing to be employed by
the Company or any Affiliate for a period of six (6) consecutive months.

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

(f) You covenant and agree that, at all times during the Non-Compete Period, you
shall not, individually or jointly with any Person, except as expressly
permitted by this Agreement, divert or attempt to divert or take advantage of or
attempt to take advantage of any actual or potential business or opportunities
of the Company or any Affiliate, of which you became aware as the result of
providing the Consulting Services or as a member of the Board.

(g) You acknowledge that should you violate any of the covenants contained in
Section 7 hereof (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”), it will be
difficult to determine the resulting damages to the Company and its Affiliates
and, in addition to any other remedies the Company and its Affiliates may have,
the Company and its Affiliates shall be entitled to temporary injunctive relief
without being required to post a bond and permanent injunctive relief without
the necessity of proving actual damage. The Company may elect to seek additional
remedies at its sole discretion on a case-by-case basis. Failure to seek any or
all remedies in one case shall not restrict the Company from seeking any
remedies in another situation. Such action by the Company shall not constitute a
waiver of any of its rights.

(h) It is the parties’ intent that each of the Restrictive Covenants be read and
interpreted with every reasonable inference given to its enforceability.
However, it is also the parties’ intent that if any term, provision or condition
of the Restrictive Covenants is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions thereof shall
remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or
invalidated. Finally, it is also the parties’ intent that if a court should
determine any of the Restrictive Covenants are unenforceable because of
over-breadth, then the court shall modify said covenant so as to make it
reasonable and enforceable under the prevailing circumstances.

(i) In the event of any breach by you of any Restrictive Covenant, the running
of the period of restriction shall be automatically tolled and suspended for the
duration of such breach, and shall automatically recommence when such breach is
remedied in order that the Company shall receive the full benefit of your
compliance with each of the Restrictive Covenants.

(j) You agree that the Restrictive Covenants shall be enforced independently of
any other obligations between the Company, on the one hand, and you, on the
other (other than the Company’s obligation to make payments hereunder),
including without limitation the Employment Agreement Restrictions, and that the
existence of any other claim or defense shall not affect the enforceability of
the Restrictive Covenants or the remedies provided herein.

8. Promise Not to Disparage. In further consideration for this Agreement, the
Sponsors and the members of the Company’s management agree not to disparage you
to any Person, and you agree not to disparage the Sponsors, the Company or any
of its Affiliates or any of their respective products or services to any Person,
and/or not to communicate, either in writing or orally, directly or indirectly,
any statement that bears negatively on the Sponsors or the Company’s or any of
its Affiliates’ reputation, services, products, principals, customers, policies,
adherence to law, shareholders, officers, directors, officials, executives,
employees, agents, representatives, business or other legitimate interests.

9. Prior Agreements. Except as set forth herein, effective on January 1, 2013
this Agreement shall supersede and replace all prior agreements, arrangements or
plans specifically relating to you that were entered into prior to the date
hereof between the Company or any of its Affiliates and you, including, without
limitation, that certain Employment Agreement dated October 3, 2007, as amended
as of December 6, 2012 (the “Employment Agreement”) (other than the Employment
Agreement Restrictions contained therein). You hereby release and fully
discharge the Company, its

subsidiaries, its Affiliates and any successor or assigns thereof, and the
Company and its Affiliates hereby release and fully discharge you, from any and
all payments, claims, liabilities or obligations relating to or arising from

continuation and/or compliance with certain welfare or benefit plans made
available by the Company (or an Affiliate thereof) to you in connection with

in the Confidentiality Agreement referred to in Section 7(a) of this Agreement.

10. Complete Agreement and Non-Reliance. This Agreement, including the other
documents expressly referenced herein, contains the complete agreement between
the parties and no party has relied upon or will claim reliance upon any oral or
written statement which may, in any way, relate to the subject matter of this
Agreement in connection with the execution of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing however, contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement
the parties are also entering into the following agreements, which agreements
shall be governed by their specific terms and conditions:

sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as

Agreement) and the Sponsors (collectively, the Company, its Affiliates and the
Sponsors are referred to herein as the “TU Group”). The Consultant agrees and
covenants that, during the Restricted Period (as defined in the Consulting
Agreement) and thereafter, the Consultant will not, directly or indirectly,
disclose to any Person (as defined in the Consulting Agreement) or use for his
own benefit or for the benefit of others, any Confidential Information, without
prior written authorization of the Company; provided, however, (i) the

Information compelled to be disclosed by subpoena

or other legal process, so long as the Consultant affords the Company prior
notice thereof and an opportunity to contest such subpoena or process. For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean all
information not generally available to the public concerning (i) the TU Group,
(ii) any and all business, financial, customer lists, prospects, strategic
plans, trade secrets, targeted investments or dispositions, and general business
activities of the Company and its Affiliates, (iii) the income, expenses,
assets, liabilities and investments of the Company and its Affiliates, (iv) the
identities of entities or organizations in which the Company or its Affiliates
may have an interest or participate, or in which the Company or its Affiliates
may be interested in acquiring, investing or divesting, (v) salaries, benefits,
fees, arrangements and other information relating to employee, agents, officers,
directors, investors, investment advisors, consultants and representatives of,
or to, the Company or its Affiliates, and (vi) proprietary and technical data,
trade secrets, know-how (including computer programs and software), processes,
diagrams, strategic plans, marketing and sales techniques, and financial data
relating to products or services being offered by, or being developed by, the
Company or any Affiliate.

(b) In addition, by signing this Agreement, the Consultant agrees to treat the
terms and conditions contained in the Consulting Agreement and in the documents
referenced in Section 9 of the Consulting Agreement as “Confidential
Information” subject to the same conditions for Confidential Information
described in Section 1(a) above.

2. Tangible Information. The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that all
records, files, forms, manuals, computer programs, databases, reports, models,
presentations, statements, correspondence, memoranda, diagrams, documents and
working papers that are provided to him or in which he becomes aware of,
relating to the TU Group (collectively, “Records”), are the sole property of the
Company and/or the Sponsors, as applicable. The Consultant shall safeguard all
such Records and shall not at any time retain such Records except in the
necessary performance of the Consultant’s duties under the Consulting Agreement.
The Consultant further agrees, upon termination or expiration of his engagement
as a consultant under the Consulting Agreement, (i) to surrender and return to
the Company all Records, together with any and all copies thereof and (ii) not
to retain any such Records or copies thereof.

3. Creations. The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that all writings or
creations, including, but not limited to, reports, memos, presentations,
manuals, models, programs, pictorial and graphic works or other copyright works
of any nature (collectively, “Inventions”) which the Consultant, individually or
with others, may originate or develop in connection with the performance of the
Consulting Services shall belong to and be the sole property of the Company.

4. Return of Property. All computers, mobile devices, notes, reports, sketches,
plans, books, keys, credit cards, unpublished memoranda or other documents or
property which were provided to the Consultant by the TU Group, or created,
developed, generated or held or controlled by the Consultant, during the Term
and which concern or are related to the TU Group or the business of the TU
Group, are the property of the Company and will be promptly returned to the
Company upon the termination or expiration of the Consulting Agreement.

5. Breach of Covenants. The Company and the Consultant acknowledge and agree
that any breach by the Consultant of the covenants or agreements contained
herein will likely cause extensive harm to the Company and that this Agreement
is intended to protect the Company, its Affiliates and the Sponsors. Therefore,
the parties acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be entitled to exercise
any rights and remedies arising out of or relating to this Agreement against the
Consultant on behalf of the TU Group, in addition to on their own behalf.

6. Equitable Relief. The Consultant agrees that any breach by him of the terms
of this Agreement will result in immediate and irreparable harm to the TU Group,
the exact extent of which will be difficult to ascertain and that the remedies
at law for any such breach will not be adequate. Consequently, in the event of
the Consultant’s breach of the terms hereof, the Company shall be entitled,
without the posting of a bond, to obtain an injunction and/or specific
performance in addition to any other legal or equitable remedy necessary to
compel compliance with the terms hereof. The Company shall be entitled to such
relief without the necessity of proving actual damages. All such remedies shall
be cumulative and nonexclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedy or
remedies to which the Company may be entitled.

7. Waiver and Defense. The failure of either party to insist, in any one or more
instances, upon performance of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or the
Consulting Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment of
any right granted hereunder or of the future performance of any such term,
covenant or condition. The Consultant further agrees that the existence of any
claim or cause of action that the Consultant has, or may have, against the TU
Group, whether predicated on this Agreement, the Consulting Agreement or
otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of the terms
hereof.

8. Integration, Severability and Blue Penciling. Except as specifically noted in
this Agreement and the Consulting Agreement, this Agreement contains the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior oral and written agreements, understandings, commitments
and practices between the parties, whether or not fully performed before the
date of this Agreement. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall
be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, it is agreed
that such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of
this Agreement and the remaining covenants, restrictions and provisions hereof
shall remain in full force and effect and any court of competent jurisdiction
may so modify the objectionable provision to the minimum extent required to make
such objectionable provision valid, reasonable and enforceable.

9. Miscellaneous. The provisions of Section 12 of the Consulting Agreement are
hereby deemed incorporated into, and a part of, this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing however, in the event the Company seeks equitable relief against
the Consultant for a breach, or anticipated breach, of this Agreement as
permitted pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, THE CONSULTANT IRREVOCABLY
AND UNCONDITIONALLY CONSENTS TO SUBMIT TO
