 (a) Position, Duties, and Responsibilities. During the Term, Employee shall be employed and serve as the Vice Chairman of the Company (together with such other position or positions consistent with

to the extent requested by the Board or the Company, in each case without additional compensation. 
 (b) Performance.

Term, Employee shall devote a substantial portion of his business time, attention, skill, and best efforts to the performance of his duties under this Agreement. Employee shall not engage in any other business or occupation during the Term,

or (z) interferes with Employee’s exercise of judgment in the Company’s best interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude Employee from (i) serving, with the prior written consent of the Board (such

member of the boards of directors or advisory boards (or their equivalents in the case of a non-corporate entity) of non-competing businesses and charitable organizations, (ii) engaging in
charitable activities and community affairs, and (iii) managing Employee’s personal investments and affairs; provided, however, that the activities set out in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) shall be limited by Employee so

 Section 4. Compensation. 
 During the Term, Employee shall be entitled
to the following compensation: 
 (a) Base Salary. Employee’s annualized Base Salary, payable in accordance with the
regular payroll practices of the Company, shall equal $575,000 during 2010, and shall equal $350,000 during 2011, with increases (but no decreases), if any, as may be approved in writing by the Compensation Committee. 

(b) Annual Bonus. Employee shall be eligible for an annual incentive bonus award determined by the Compensation Committee in
respect of each fiscal year during the Term (the “Annual Bonus”). The minimum Annual Bonus for fiscal year 2010 shall be $575,000, and the minimum Annual Bonus for fiscal year 2011 shall be $350,000; provided that
Employee’s actual Annual Bonus may be higher based upon the level of achievement of annual Company and individual performance objectives for such fiscal year, as determined by the Compensation Committee and communicated to Employee. The Annual
Bonus shall be paid to Employee at the same time as annual bonuses are generally payable to other senior executives of the Company subject to Employee’s continuous employment through the payment date. 

Section 5. Employee Benefits; Indemnification. 
 (a) Benefits. During the Term, Employee shall be entitled to participate in health, insurance, retirement, and other benefits provided generally to similarly situated employees of the Company,
including coverage under any applicable directors’ and officers’ insurance policy on the same terms as similarly situated directors and officers of the Company. Employee shall also be entitled to the same number of holidays, vacation days,
and sick days, as well as any other benefits, in each case as are generally allowed to similarly situated employees of the Company in accordance with the Company policy as in effect from time to time. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to
limit the Company’s ability to amend, suspend, or terminate any employee benefit plan or policy at any time without providing Employee notice, and the right to do so is expressly reserved. 

(b) Indemnification. Company agrees that Employee shall be entitled to indemnification to the fullest extent permitted under the
Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, and as required by law. In addition, at all times during the Employee’s employment and for a period of at least three (3) years thereafter, the Company shall maintain a Directors and
Officers Liability Insurance Policy under which the Employee shall be included as a “Covered Person.” In addition, the Company will provide the Executive with its standard “Indemnification Agreement” for senior executives, to the
extent one exists during Employee’s employment.

 Section 6. Key-Man Insurance. 

At any time during the Term, the Company shall have the right to insure the life of Employee for the sole benefit of the Company, in such
amounts, and with such terms, as it may determine. All premiums payable thereon shall be the obligation of the Company. Employee shall have no interest in any such policy, but agrees to cooperate with the Company in procuring such insurance by
submitting to physical examinations, supplying all information required by the insurance company, and executing all necessary documents, provided that no financial obligation is imposed on Employee by any such documents. 

Section 7. Reimbursement of Business Expenses. 
 During the Term of Employment, the Company shall pay (or promptly reimburse Employee) for documented, out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Employee in the course of performing his duties and
responsibilities hereunder, which are consistent with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time with respect to business expenses, subject to the Company’s requirements with respect to reporting of such expenses. 

Section 8. Termination of Employment. 
 (a) General. The Term shall terminate earlier than as provided in Section 2 hereof upon the earliest to occur of (i) Employee’s death, (ii) a termination by reason of a Disability,
(iii) a termination by the Company with or without Cause, and (iv) a termination by Employee with or without Good Reason. Upon any termination of Employee’s employment for any reason, except as may otherwise be requested by the
Company in writing and agreed upon in writing by Employee, Employee shall resign from any and all directorships, committee memberships, and any other positions Employee holds with the Company or any other member of the Company Group. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the payment (or commencement of a series of payments) hereunder of any nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) upon a termination of employment shall be delayed until
such time as Employee has also undergone a “separation from service” as defined in Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(h), at which time such nonqualified deferred compensation (calculated as of the date of Employee’s termination of employment
hereunder) shall be paid (or commence to be paid) to Employee on the schedule set forth in this Section 8 as if Employee had undergone such termination of employment (under the same circumstances) on the date of Employee’s ultimate
“separation from service.” 
 (b) Termination Due to Death or Disability. Employee’s employment shall
terminate automatically upon Employee’s death. The Company may terminate Employee’s employment immediately upon the occurrence of a Disability, such termination to be effective upon Employee’s receipt of written notice of such
termination. Upon Employee’s death or in the event that Employee’s employment is terminated due to Employee’s Disability, Employee or Employee’s estate or beneficiaries, as the case may be, shall be entitled to: 

(i) The Accrued Obligations; 

(ii) Any unpaid Annual Bonus in respect of calendar years 2010 and 2011, which amount shall be paid at
such time annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company, but in no event later than the date that is 2 1/2 months following the last day of the fiscal year in which such termination occurred; and 

  
 -5-

 (iii) Continued payment of Base Salary through the end of the Term, payable
in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payments and benefits described in
clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall, subject to delivery of written notice from the Company and an opportunity to address the Board within five (5) business days following receipt of such notice, immediately terminate, and the Company
shall have no further obligations to Employee with respect thereto, in the event that Employee breaches any provision of the Non-Interference Agreement. Following Employee’s death or a termination of Employee’s employment by reason of a
Disability, except as set forth in this Section 8(b), Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 
 (c) Termination by the Company with Cause. 
 (i) The Company
may terminate Employee’s employment at any time with Cause, effective upon Employee’s receipt of written notice of such termination providing in reasonable detail the nature of the events allegedly constituting Cause; provided,
however, that with respect to any Cause termination relying on clause (i), (ii), (v) or (vi) of the definition of Cause set forth in Section 1(f) hereof, to the extent that such act or acts or failure or failures to act are curable,
Employee shall be given not less than ten (10) business days’ written notice by the Board of the Company’s intention to terminate him with Cause, such notice to state in detail the particular act or acts or failure or failures to act
that constitute the grounds on which the proposed termination with Cause is based. Such termination shall be effective at the expiration of such ten (10) business day notice period; provided, however, that Employee (with counsel present)
has had the opportunity to be heard by the Board with respect to such proposed termination and that, after such presentation, the majority of the Board (with Employee abstaining) votes to approve Employee’s termination for Cause and duly adopt
a resolution in that regard. Such termination shall not be effective at the expiration of such ten (10) day notice period if Employee has cured such act or acts or failure or failures to act that give rise to Cause during such period.

 (ii) In the event that the Company terminates Employee’s employment with Cause, Employee shall be
entitled only to the Accrued Obligations. Following such termination of Employee’s employment with Cause, except as set forth in this Section 8(c)(ii), Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this
Agreement. 
 (d) Termination by the Company without Cause. The Company may terminate Employee’s employment at any
time without Cause, effective upon Employee’s receipt of written notice of such termination. In the event that Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, Employee shall be entitled to the same payments and benefits
as provided in Section 8(b) hereof for a termination due to death or Disability, subject to the same conditions on payment and benefits as described in Section 8(b) hereof. Following such

  
 -6-

 
termination of Employee’s employment by the Company without Cause, except as set forth in this Section 8(d), Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits
under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Employee’s sole and exclusive remedy upon a termination of employment by the Company without Cause shall be receipt of the Severance Benefits. 

(e) Termination by Employee with Good Reason. Employee may terminate his employment with Good Reason by providing the Company ten
(10) business days’ written notice setting forth in reasonable specificity the event that constitutes Good Reason, which written notice, to be effective, must be provided to the Company within sixty (60) days of the occurrence of such
event. During such ten (10) business day notice period, the Company shall have a cure right (if curable), and if not cured within such period, Employee’s termination will be effective upon the expiration of such cure period, and Employee
shall be entitled to the same payments and benefits as provided in Section 8(b) hereof for a termination due to death or Disability, subject to the same conditions on payment and benefits as described in Section 8(b) hereof. Following
such termination of Employee’s employment by Employee with Good Reason, except as set forth in this Section 8(e), Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt,
Employee’s sole and exclusive remedy upon a termination of employment with Good Reason shall be receipt of the Severance Benefits. 
 (f) Termination by Employee without Good Reason. Employee may terminate his employment without Good Reason by providing the Company thirty (30) days’ written notice of such termination.
In the event of a termination of employment by Employee under this Section 8(f), Employee shall be entitled only to the Accrued Obligations. In the event of termination of Employee’s employment under this Section 8(f), the Company may, in its
sole and absolute discretion, by written notice accelerate such date of termination without changing the characterization of such termination as a termination by Employee without Good Reason. Following such termination of Employee’s employment
by Employee without Good Reason, except as set forth in this Section 8(f), Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 

(g) Employment upon or following Expiration of the Term. If Employee’s employment with the Company continues beyond the
expiration of the Term, Employee shall be considered an “at-will” employee and shall not be entitled to any payments or benefits under this Agreement upon any termination upon the expiration of the Term, or any subsequent termination of
employment for any reason whatsoever; provided, however, that if, upon any termination upon the expiration of the Term, any payments are due and owing pursuant to the Special Retention and Protection Program, including the “Stay
Bonus” and the “Sales Incentive”, then any such payments shall be made upon the expiration of the Term. Notwithstanding anything herein or in Section 4(b) to the contrary, Employee’s Annual Bonus for 2011 shall be paid to
Employee upon or as soon as practicable following Employee’s termination of employment upon or following the expiration of the Term pursuant to this Section 8(g), but in no event later than March 15, 2012. 

(h) Release. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the payment of any amount or provision of any benefit pursuant
to subsection (b), (d), or (e) of this 

  
 -7-

 
Section 8 (other than the Accrued Obligations) (collectively, the “Severance Benefits”) shall be conditioned upon Employee’s execution, delivery to the Company, and
non-revocation of the Release of Claims (and the expiration of any revocation period contained in such Release of Claims) within sixty (60) days following the date of Employee’s termination of employment hereunder. If Employee fails to
execute the Release of Claims in such a timely manner so as to permit any revocation period to expire prior to the end of such sixty (60) day period, or timely revokes Employee’s acceptance of such release following its execution, Employee
shall not be entitled to any of the Severance Benefits. Further, to the extent that any of the Severance Benefits constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, any payment of any amount or
provision of any benefit otherwise scheduled to occur prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of Employee’s termination of employment hereunder, but for the condition on executing the Release of Claims as set forth herein, shall not be made until the first
regularly scheduled payroll date following such sixtieth (60th) day, after which any remaining Severance Benefits shall thereafter be provided to Employee according to the applicable schedule set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a
termination due to Employee’s death or Disability, Employee’s obligations herein to execute and not revoke the Release of Claims may be satisfied on Employee’s behalf by his estate or a person having legal power of attorney over his
affairs. 
 Section 9. Non-Interference Agreement. 

As a condition of, and prior to the continuation of, Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee shall have executed and
delivered to the Company the Non-Interference Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and the Non-Interference Agreement shall be considered separate contracts. 

Section 10. Representations and Warranties of Employee. 

Employee represents and warrants to the Company that— 
 (a) Employee is entering into this Agreement voluntarily and that his employment hereunder and compliance with the terms and conditions hereof will not conflict with or result in the breach by Employee of
any agreement to which he is a party or by which he may be bound; 
 (b) Employee has not violated, and in connection with his
employment with the Company will not violate, any non-solicitation, non-competition, or other similar covenant or agreement of a prior employer by which Employee is or may be bound; and 

(c) in connection with his employment with the Company, Employee will not use any confidential or proprietary information Employee may
have obtained in connection with employment with any prior employer. 
 Section 11. Taxes. 

The Company may withhold from any payments made under this Agreement all applicable taxes, including but not limited to income,
employment, and social insurance taxes, as shall be required by law. Employee acknowledges and represents that the Company has not 

  
 -8-

 
provided any tax advice to him in connection with this Agreement and that Employee has been advised by the Company to seek tax advice from Employee’s own tax advisors regarding this
Agreement and payments that may be made to him pursuant to this Agreement, including specifically, the application of the provisions of Section 409A of the Code to such payments. 

Section 12. Set Off; Mitigation. 
 The Company’s obligation to pay Employee the amounts provided and to make the arrangements provided hereunder shall be subject to set-off, counterclaim, or recoupment of amounts that Employee and
Company agree are owed by Employee to the Company or its affiliates; provided, however, that to the extent any amount so subject to set-off, counterclaim, or recoupment is payable in installments hereunder, such set-off, counterclaim,
or recoupment shall not modify the applicable payment date of any installment, and to the extent an obligation cannot be satisfied by reduction of a single installment payment, any portion not satisfied shall remain an outstanding obligation of
Employee and shall be applied to the next installment only at such time the installment is otherwise payable pursuant to the specified payment schedule. Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided pursuant to this
Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, and the amount of any payment provided for pursuant to this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned as a result of Employee’s other employment or otherwise. 

Section 13. Additional Section 409A Provisions. 

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary— 

(a) Any payment otherwise required to be made hereunder to Employee at any date as a result of the termination of Employee’s
employment shall be delayed for such period of time as may be necessary to meet the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (the “Delay Period”). On the first business day following the expiration of the Delay
Period, Employee shall be paid, in a single cash lump sum, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all payments delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence, and any remaining payments not so delayed shall continue to be paid pursuant to the
payment schedule set forth herein. 
 (b) Each payment in a series of payments hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate
payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. 
 (c) To the extent that any right to reimbursement of expenses or
payment of any benefit in-kind under this Agreement constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (i) any such expense reimbursement shall be made by the Company no later than the last day
of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expense was incurred by Employee, (ii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (iii) the amount of
expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable year; provided, that the foregoing
clause shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect. 

  
 -9-

 (d) While the payments and benefits provided hereunder are intended to be structured in a
manner to avoid the implication of any penalty taxes under Section 409A of the Code, in no event whatsoever shall the Parent or any of its affiliates (including, without limitation, the Company) be liable for any additional tax, interest, or
penalties that may be imposed on Employee as a result of Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code (other than for withholding obligations or other obligations applicable to employers, if
any, under Section 409A of the Code). 
 Section 14. Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

 (a) The Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its respective successors and assigns.
Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, obligations, or interests arising hereunder may be assigned by the Company to a Person (other than another member of the Company Group, or its or their respective successors) without Employee’s
prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned); provided, however, that in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any direct or indirect division or
subsidiary thereof to which the Employee’s employment primarily relates, the Company shall require that this Agreement be assigned to, and assumed by, the acquiror of such assets, it being agreed that in such circumstances, Employee’s
consent will not be required in connection therewith. 
 (b) Employee. Employee’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement shall not be transferable by Employee by assignment or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that if Employee shall die, all amounts then payable to Employee hereunder shall be paid
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Employee’s devisee, legatee, or other designee, or if there be no such designee, to Employee’s estate. 
 (c) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 8(b) or Section 14(b) hereof, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give
any Person other than the Company, the other members of the Company Group, and Employee any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. 

Section 15. Waiver and Amendments. 
 Any waiver, alteration, amendment, or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, however,
that any such waiver, alteration, amendment, or modification must be consented to on the Company’s behalf by the Board. No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to
any subsequent occurrences or transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver. 
 Section 16. Severability. 
 If any covenants or such other provisions
of this Agreement are found to be invalid or unenforceable by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction, (a) the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired, and (b) the invalid or unenforceable

  
 -10-

 
term or provision hereof shall be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or
provision hereof. 
 Section 17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. 

EXCEPT WHERE PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW, THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION, CONSTRUCTION, AND PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY AND

 FORM OF 
 RELEASE OF CLAIMS 
 As used in this Release of Claims (this
“Release”), the term “claims” will include all claims, covenants, warranties, promises, undertakings, actions, suits, causes of action, obligations, debts, accounts, attorneys’ fees, judgments, losses, and
liabilities, of whatsoever kind or nature, in law, in equity, or otherwise. 
 For and in consideration of the Severance
Benefits (as defined in my Employment Agreement, dated November 4, 2010, with Interactive Data Corporation (my “Employment Agreement”)), the Non-Interference Consideration (as defined in my Non-Interference Agreement,
dated November 4, 2010, and attached as Exhibit A to my Employment Agreement (my “Non-Interference Agreement”)), and other good and valuable consideration, I, Raymond L. D’Arcy, for and on behalf of
myself and my heirs, administrators, executors, and assigns, effective as of the date on which this release becomes effective pursuant to its terms, do fully and forever release, remise, and discharge each of the Company, the Parent, and each of
their respective direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates, together with their respective officers, directors, partners, shareholders, employees, and agents (collectively, the “Group”), from any and all claims whatsoever up
to the date hereof that I had, may have had, or now have against the Group, whether known or unknown, for or by reason of any matter, cause, or thing whatsoever, including any claim arising out of or attributable to my employment or the termination
of my employment with the Company, whether for tort, breach of express or implied employment contract, intentional infliction of emotional distress, wrongful termination, unjust dismissal, defamation, libel, or slander, or under any federal, state,
or local law dealing with discrimination based on age, race, sex, national origin, handicap, religion, disability, or sexual orientation. This release of claims includes, but is not limited to, all claims arising under the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act (“ADEA”), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Family Medical Leave Act, and the Equal Pay Act, each as may be amended from time to time, and all
other federal, state, and local laws, the common law, and any other purported restriction on an employer’s right to terminate the employment of employees. The release contained herein is intended to be a general release of any and all claims to
the fullest extent permissible by law. 
 I acknowledge and agree that as of the date I execute this Release, I have no
knowledge of any facts or circumstances that give rise or could give rise to any claims under any of the laws listed in the preceding paragraph. 
 For and in consideration of my release of claims against the Group as set forth above and the post-employment restrictions set forth in the Non-Interference Agreement, and other good and valuable
consideration, the Company, on behalf of the Group, effective as of the date of the termination of my employment, does fully and forever release, remise, and discharge me and my spouse, heirs, administrators, executors, agents, representatives,
attorneys and assigns, all individually and in their official capacities (collectively, the “D’Arcy Releasees”), from any and all claims whatsoever up to the date of the termination of my employment that it had, may have had,
or now has against me, whether known or unknown, for or by reason of any matter, cause, or thing whatsoever, including any claim arising out of or attributable to my employment or the termination thereof, or (with respect to the Company’s
release of me only) pursuant to the common or statutory law of any jurisdiction, but excluding (i) claims with respect 

  
 -1-

 
to (1) the right to enforce this Agreement, the Non-Interference Agreement, or the plans and agreements governing my vested equity awards or (2) the Company’s charter or by-laws,
or (ii) claims that are based upon any acts or omissions that involve willful fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, gross negligence, or intentional misconduct or arising out of facts that constitute a violation of criminal laws,
(iii) cross-claims in any shareholder derivative lawsuit, or (iv) any rights of the Group arising under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or any written policy in effect on the date of my termination of employment that requires the
disgorgement of incentive compensation as the result of an accounting restatement due to noncompliance with financial reporting requirements. Except as set forth above, the release contained herein is intended to be a general release of any and all
claims to the fullest extent permissible by law. 
 Similarly, the Company, on behalf of the Group, acknowledges and agrees that
as of the date it executes this Release, it has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that give rise or could give rise to any of the claims released by it in the preceding paragraph. 

By executing this Release, I specifically release all claims relating to my employment and its termination under ADEA, a United States
federal statute that, among other things, prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in employment and employee benefit plans. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of this Release to the contrary, by executing this Release, I am not releasing (i) my rights and any claims relating to my rights under (X) Section 8 of my
Employment Agreement, (Y) my Option Grant Notice and Agreement, or (Z) Sections 5(d), 5(e) and 9 of my Non-Interference Agreement, (ii) any rights and/or claims that cannot be waived by law and any rights in any vested benefits,
or (iii) my right of indemnification as provided by, and in accordance with the terms of, the Company’s by-laws or a Company insurance policy providing such coverage, as any of such may be amended from time to time. 

I expressly acknowledge and agree that I – 
  

	 	•	 	 Am able to read the language, and understand the meaning and effect, of this Release; 

 

	 	•	 	 Have no physical or mental impairment of any kind that has interfered with my ability to read and understand the meaning of this Release or its terms,
and that I am not acting under the influence of any medication, drug, or chemical of any type in entering into this Release; 

  

	 	•	 	 Am specifically agreeing to the terms of the release contained in this Release because the Company has agreed to pay me the Severance Benefits and the
Non-Interference Consideration in consideration for my agreement to accept it in full settlement of all possible claims I might have or ever have had, and because of my execution of this Release; 

 

	 	•	 	 Acknowledge that, but for my execution of this Release, I would not be entitled to the Severance Benefits or the Non-Interference Consideration;

  
 -2-

	 	•	 	 Understand that, by entering into this Release, I do not waive rights or claims under ADEA that may arise after the date I execute this Release;

  

	 	•	 	 Had or could have had [twenty-one (21)][forty-five (45)]1 days from the date of my termination of employment (the “Release Expiration Date”) in which to review
and consider this Release, and that if I execute this Release prior to the Release Expiration Date, I have voluntarily and knowingly waived the remainder of the review period; 

 

	 	•	 	 Have not relied upon any representation or statement not set forth in this Release or my Employment Agreement made by the Company or any of its
representatives; 

  

	 	•	 	 Was advised to consult with my attorney regarding the terms and effect of this Release; and 

 

	 	•	 	 Have signed this Release knowingly and voluntarily. 

 I represent and warrant that I have not previously filed, and to the maximum extent permitted by law agree that I will not file, a complaint, charge, or lawsuit against any member of the Group regarding
any of the claims released herein. Similarly, the Company, on behalf of the Group, represents and warrants that it has not previously filed, and to the maximum extent permitted by law agrees that it will not file, a complaint, charge, or lawsuit
against any member of the D’Arcy Releasees regarding any of the claims released herein. If, notwithstanding this representation and warranty, I have filed or file such a complaint, charge, or lawsuit, I agree that I shall cause such complaint,
charge, or lawsuit to be dismissed with prejudice and shall pay any and all costs required in obtaining dismissal of such complaint, charge, or lawsuit, including without limitation the attorneys’ fees of any member of the Group against whom I
have filed such a complaint, charge, or lawsuit. This paragraph shall not apply, however, to a claim of age discrimination under ADEA or to any non-waivable right to file a charge with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the
“EEOC”); provided, however, that if the EEOC were to pursue any claims relating to my employment with Company, I agree that I shall not be entitled to recover any monetary damages or any other remedies or benefits as a
result and that this Release and Section 8 of my Employment Agreement will control as the exclusive remedy and full settlement of all such claims by me. 
 I hereby agree to waive any and all claims to re-employment with the Company or any other member of the Company Group and affirmatively agree not to seek further employment with the Company or any other
member of the Company Group. 
 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Release will not become
effective or enforceable prior to the expiration of the period of seven (7) calendar days 
  

	1	 To be selected based on whether applicable termination was “in connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination program” (as
such phrase is defined in the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967).

following the date of its execution by me (the “Revocation Period”), during which time I may revoke my acceptance of this Release by notifying the Company and the Board of
Directors of the Company, in writing, delivered to the Company at its principal executive office, marked for the attention of its Chief Executive Officer. To be effective, such revocation must be received by the Company no later than 11:59 p.m.
on the seventh (7th) calendar day following the
execution of this Release. Provided that the Release is executed and I do not revoke it during the Revocation Period, the eighth (8th) day following the date on which this Release is executed shall be its effective date. I acknowledge and agree
that if I revoke this Release during the Revocation Period, this Release will be null and void and of no effect, and neither the Company nor any other member of the Company Group will have any obligations to pay me the Severance Benefits or the
Non-Interference Consideration. 
 The provisions of this Release shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators,
legal personal representatives, and assigns, as well as the Company and the Parent’s respective successors and assigns. If any provision of this Release shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void, or unenforceable,
such provision shall be of no force or effect. The illegality or unenforceability of such provision, however, shall have no effect upon and shall not impair the enforceability of any other provision of this Release.

 -5-Confidentiality, Non-Interference and Invention Assignment Agreement

 Exhibit 10.29 
 CONFIDENTIALITY, NON-INTERFERENCE, AND INVENTION ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT 
 As
a condition of my becoming employed by, or continuing employment with, Interactive Data Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and in consideration of my employment with the Company and my receipt of the compensation
now and hereafter paid to me by the Company, I agree to the following: 
 Section 1. Confidential Information.

 (a) Company Group Information. I acknowledge that, during the course of my employment, I will have access to
information about the Company and its direct and indirect parents and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Group”) and that my employment with the Company shall bring me into close contact with confidential and proprietary
information of the Company Group. In recognition of the foregoing, I agree, at all times during the term of my employment with the Company and for the ten (10) year period following my termination of my employment with the Company Group for any
reason, to hold in confidence, and not to use, except for the benefit of the Company Group, or to disclose to any person, firm, corporation, or other entity without written authorization of the Company, any Confidential Information that I obtain or
create. I further agree not to make copies of such Confidential Information except as authorized by the Company. I understand that “Confidential Information” means information that the Company Group has developed, acquired, created,
compiled, discovered, or owned or will develop, acquire, create, compile, discover, or own, that has value in or to the business of the Company Group that is not generally known and that the Company wishes to maintain as confidential. I understand
that Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, any and all non-public information that relates to the actual or anticipated business and/or products, research, or development of the Company, or to the Company’s technical data,
trade secrets, or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, or other information regarding the Company’s products or services and markets, customer lists, and customers (including, but not limited to, customers of the
Company on whom I called or with whom I may become acquainted during the term of my employment), software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing,
finances, and other business information disclosed by the Company either directly or indirectly in writing, orally, or by drawings or inspection of premises, parts, equipment, or other Company property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential
Information shall not include (i) any of the foregoing items that have become publicly known through no unauthorized disclosure by me or others who were under confidentiality obligations as to the item or items involved or (ii) any
information that I am required to disclose to, or by, any governmental or judicial authority; provided, however, that in such event I will give the Company prompt written notice thereof so that the Company Group may seek an appropriate
protective order and/or waive in writing compliance with the confidentiality provisions of this Confidentiality, Non-Interference, and Invention Assignment Agreement (the “Non-Interference Agreement”). 

(b) Former Employer Information. I represent that my performance of all of the terms of this Non-Interference Agreement as an
employee of the Company has not breached and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, 

 
knowledge, or data acquired by me in confidence or trust prior or subsequent to the commencement of my employment with the Company, and I will not disclose to any member of the Company Group, or
induce any member of the Company Group to use, any developments, or confidential or proprietary information or material I may have obtained in connection with employment with any prior employer in violation of a confidentiality agreement,
nondisclosure agreement, or similar agreement with such prior employer. 
 Section 2. Developments. 

(a) Developments Retained and Licensed. I have attached hereto, as Schedule A, a list describing with particularity
all developments, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets that I can demonstrate were created or owned by me prior to the commencement of my employment (collectively referred to as “Prior
Developments”), which belong solely to me or belong to me jointly with another, that relate in any way to any of the actual or proposed businesses, products, or research and development of any member of the Company Group, and that are not
assigned to the Company hereunder, or if no such list is attached, I represent that there are no such Prior Developments. If, during any period during which I perform or performed services for the Company Group both before or after the date hereof
(the “Assignment Period”), whether as an officer, employee, director, independent contractor, consultant, or agent, or in any other capacity, I incorporate (or have incorporated) into a Company Group product or process a Prior
Development owned by me or in which I have an interest, I hereby grant the Company, and the Company Group shall have, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to make, have
made, copy, modify, make derivative works of, use, sell, and otherwise distribute such Prior Development as part of or in connection with such product or process. 
 (b) Assignment of Developments. I agree that I will, without additional compensation, promptly make full written disclosure to the Company, and will hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of
the Company all developments, original works of authorship, inventions, concepts, know-how, improvements, trade secrets, and similar proprietary rights, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar laws, which I may solely or
jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or have solely or jointly conceived or developed or reduced to practice, or have caused or may cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice, during the Assignment Period, whether or not
during regular working hours, provided they either (i) relate at the time of conception, development or reduction to practice to the business of any member of the Company Group, or the actual or anticipated research or development of any member
of the Company Group; (ii) result from or relate to any work performed for any member of the Company Group; or (iii) are developed through the use of equipment, supplies, or facilities of any member of the Company Group, or any
Confidential Information, or in consultation with personnel of any member of the Company Group (collectively referred to as “Developments”). I further acknowledge that all Developments made by me (solely or jointly with others)
within the scope of and during the Assignment Period are “works made for hire” (to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law) for which I am, in part, compensated by my salary, unless regulated otherwise by law, but that, in the
event any such Development is deemed not to be a work made for hire, I hereby assign to the Company, or its designee, all my right, title, and interest throughout the world in and to any such Development. 

 (c) Maintenance of Records. I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current
written records of all Developments made by me (solely or jointly with others) during the Assignment Period. The records may be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, flow charts, electronic data or recordings, and any other format. The records
will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company Group at all times. I agree not to remove such records from the Company’s place of business except as expressly permitted by Company Group policy, which may, from time to time, be
revised at the sole election of the Company Group for the purpose of furthering the business of the Company Group. 
 (d)
Intellectual Property Rights. I agree to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in every way to secure the rights of the Company Group in the Developments and any copyrights, patents, trademarks, service marks,
database rights, domain names, mask work rights, moral rights, and other intellectual property rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the
execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments, recordations, and all other instruments that the Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for, obtain, maintain, and transfer such rights and in order to assign and convey to
the Company Group the sole and exclusive right, title, and interest in and to such Developments, and any intellectual property and other proprietary rights relating thereto. I further agree that my obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when
it is in my power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of the Assignment Period until the expiration of the last such intellectual property right to expire in any country of the world; provided,
however, the Company shall reimburse me for my reasonable expenses incurred in connection with carrying out the foregoing obligation. If the Company is unable because of my mental or physical incapacity or unavailability for any other reason to
secure my signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations covering Developments or original works of authorship assigned to the Company as above, then I hereby irrevocably
designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact to act for and in my behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications or records and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to
further the application for, prosecution, issuance, maintenance, and transfer of letters patent or registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if originally executed by me. I hereby waive and irrevocably quitclaim to the Company
any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, that I now or hereafter have for past, present, or future infringement of any and all proprietary rights assigned to the Company. 
 Section 3. Returning Company Group Documents. 
 I agree that, at the
time of termination of my employment with the Company for any reason, I will deliver to the Company (and will not keep in my possession, recreate, or deliver to anyone else) any and all Confidential Information and all other documents, materials,
information, and property developed by me pursuant to my employment or otherwise belonging to the Company. I agree further that any property situated on the Company’s premises and owned by the Company (or any other member of the Company Group),
including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets, and other work areas, is subject to inspection by personnel of any member of the Company Group at any time with or without notice. 

 Section 4. Disclosure of Agreement. 

As long as it remains in effect, I will disclose the existence of this Non-Interference Agreement to any prospective employer, partner,
co-venturer, investor, or lender prior to entering into an employment, partnership, or other business relationship with such person or entity. 
 Section 5. Restrictions on Interfering. 
 (a) Non-Competition.
During the period of my employment with the Company (the “Employment Period”) and the Post-Termination Restricted Period, I shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any person, company, enterprise, or
entity, or as a sole proprietor, partner, stockholder, director, officer, principal, agent, or executive, or in any other capacity or relationship, engage in any Competitive Activities within any State of the United States of America and any other
jurisdiction in which any member of the Company Group engages (or has committed plans to engage) in business during the Employment Period, or during the Post-Termination Restricted Period was engaged in business (or had committed plans to engage of
which I have knowledge at the time of termination of my employment); provided, that my indirect ownership (i.e., ownership through a fund that is not controlled by me or any of my affiliates) of not more than three percent (3%) of
the outstanding shares of any publicly traded company shall not be deemed to breach of this Section 5(a). 
 (b)
Non-Interference. During the Employment Period and the Post-Termination Restricted Period, I shall not, directly or indirectly for my own account or for the account of any other individual or entity, engage in Interfering Activities.

 (c) Definitions. For purposes of this Non-Interference Agreement: 

(i) “Business Relation” shall mean any current or prospective client, customer, licensee, or other
business relation of the Company Group, or any such relation that was a client, customer, licensee, supplier, or other business relation within the six (6) month period prior to the expiration of the Employment Period, in each case, to whom I
provided services, or with whom I transacted business, or whose identity became known to me in connection with my relationship with or employment by the Company. 

(ii) “Competitive Activities” shall mean any business activities in which any member of the Company
Group is engaged (or has committed plans to engage) during the Employment Period. 
 (iii) “Interfering
Activities” shall mean (A) encouraging, soliciting, or inducing, or in any manner attempting to encourage, solicit, or induce, any individual or entity employed by, or providing consulting services to, any member of the Company Group
to terminate such individual’s or entity’s employment or services (or in the case of a consultant, materially reducing such services) with the Company Group; 

 
(B) hiring any individual who was employed by any member of the Company Group within the six (6) month period prior to the date of such hiring; or (C) encouraging, soliciting, or
inducing, or in any manner attempting to encourage, solicit, or induce, any Business Relation to cease doing business with or reduce the amount of business conducted with the Company Group, or in any way interfering with the relationship between any
such Business Relation and the Company Group. 
 (iv) “Post-Termination Restricted Period”
shall mean the period commencing on the date of the termination of the Employment Period for any reason and ending on the twelve (12) month anniversary of such date of termination. 

(d) Non-Disparagement. I agree that during the Employment Period, and at all times thereafter, I will not make any disparaging or
defamatory comments regarding (i) any member of the Company Group or its respective current or former directors, officers, or employees, or (ii) my relationship with any member of the Company Group, or (iii) any conduct or events
which precipitated any termination of my employment from any member of the Company Group. Similarly, the Company shall instruct its executive officers and directors to refrain from making any disparaging or defamatory comments regarding (i) me
in any respect, or (ii) my relationship with any member of the Company Group, or (iii) the conduct or events that precipitated my termination of employment from any member of the Company Group (it being understood that the foregoing shall
not prevent any representative of the Company Group from verifying my employment to any potential subsequent employer). However, the obligations under this subparagraph (d) shall not apply to disclosures required by applicable law, regulation,
or order of a court or governmental agency. 
 (e) Consideration. I agree that as additional consideration for my
compliance with the terms and conditions of this Non-Interference Agreement, upon the termination of employment for any reason other than by the Company for Cause (as defined in my Employment Agreement, dated November 4, 2010, with the Company
(the “Employment Agreement”)), the Company shall pay me $200,000 (the “Non-Interference Consideration”), payable in substantially equal monthly installments during the Post-Termination Restricted Period. The
Non-Interference Consideration shall be in addition to any severance benefits that I may receive upon a termination of my employment under the terms of my Employment Agreement, and I acknowledge and agree that the payment of the Non-Interference
Consideration shall be subject to my execution, delivery to the Company, and non-revocation of the Release of Claims (as defined in the Employment Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of Section 8(h) of the Employment Agreement. I agree
further that the payment of the Non-Interference Consideration shall, subject to delivery of written notice from the Company and an opportunity to address the Company’s Board of Directors within five (5) business days following receipt of
such notice, immediately cease if I am in breach of any provision of this Non-Interference Agreement. 
 (f) Other
Restrictions. The covenants contained in this Section 5 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any similar covenants to which Employee may be subject from time to time. 

 Section 6. Reasonableness of Restrictions. 

I acknowledge and recognize the highly competitive nature of the Company’s business, that access to Confidential Information renders
me special and unique within the Company’s industry, and that I will have the opportunity to develop substantial relationships with existing and prospective clients, accounts, customers, consultants, contractors, investors, and strategic
partners of the Company Group during the course of and as a result of my employment with the Company. In light of the foregoing, I recognize and acknowledge that the restrictions and limitations set forth in this Non-Interference Agreement are
reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects and are essential to protect the value of the business and assets of the Company Group. I acknowledge further that the restrictions and limitations set forth in this
Non-Interference Agreement will not materially interfere with my ability to earn a living following the termination of my employment with the Company and that my ability to earn a livelihood without violating such restrictions is a material
condition to my employment with the Company. 
 Section 7. Independence; Severability; Blue Pencil. 

Each of the rights enumerated in this Non-Interference Agreement shall be independent of the others and shall be in addition to and not
in lieu of any other rights and remedies available to the Company Group at law or in equity. If any of the provisions of this Non-Interference Agreement or any part of any of them is hereafter construed or adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable,
the same shall not affect the remainder of this Non-Interference Agreement, which shall be given full effect without regard to the invalid portions. If any of the covenants contained herein are held to be invalid or unenforceable because of the
duration of such provisions or the area or scope covered thereby, I agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration, scope, and/or area of such provision to the maximum and/or broadest duration, scope,
and/or area permissible by law, and in its reduced form said provision shall then be enforceable. 
 Section 8.
Injunctive Relief. 
 I expressly acknowledge that any breach or threatened breach of any of the terms and/or conditions
set forth in this Non-Interference Agreement may result in substantial, continuing, and irreparable injury to the members of the Company Group. Therefore, I hereby agree that, in addition to any other remedy that may be available to the Company, any
member of the Company Group shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief (but not on an ex parte basis), specific performance, or other equitable relief by a court of appropriate jurisdiction in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the
terms of this Non-Interference Agreement without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result of such breach or threatened breach. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, I acknowledge and agree that the
Post-Termination Restricted Period shall be tolled during any period of violation of any of the covenants in Section 5 hereof and during any other period required for litigation during which the Company or any other member of the Company Group
seeks to enforce such covenants against me if it is ultimately determined that I was in breach of such covenants. 

 Section 9. Cooperation. 

I agree that, following any termination of my employment, I will continue to provide reasonable cooperation to the Company and/or any
other member of the Company Group and its or their respective counsel in connection with any investigation, administrative proceeding, or litigation relating to any matter that occurred during my employment in which I was involved or of which I have
knowledge. As a condition of such cooperation, the Company shall reimburse me for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred at the request of the Company with respect to my compliance with this paragraph, and I shall be entitled to indemnification
in accordance with the terms of Section 5(b) of my employment agreement with the Company. I also agree that, in the event that I am subpoenaed by any person or entity (including, but not limited to, any government agency) to give testimony or
provide documents (in a deposition, court proceeding, or otherwise) that in any way relates to my employment by the Company and/or any other member of the Company Group, I will give prompt notice of such request to the Company and will make no
disclosure until the Company and/or the other member of the Company Group has had a reasonable opportunity to contest the right of the requesting person or entity to such disclosure. 

Section 10. General Provisions.
