ARTICLE IV — CRA EMPLOYMENT OF FORMER QUINTILESIMS EMPLOYEES

Subject to the terms of the Modified Restrictions, CRA will not interfere with, induce a breach of or support any non-compliance with the terms of any of the Employment Agreements.

4.1                               Non-competition.  CRA acknowledges Former QI Employee Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 14 are each subject to non-competition restrictions in accordance with the terms of their respective Employment Agreements; provided, however, Former QI Employee No. 3 contends her non-compete restriction was previously waived with respect to CRA by an authorized representative of QuintilesIMS.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, CRA and QuintilesIMS agree as follows:

(a)                                 QuintilesIMS agrees to reduce the period of the non-competition restrictions applicable to Former QI Employee Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 14 during their employment with CRA in accordance with the dates set forth in Rider 4.1.

(b)                                 Each of Former QI Employee Nos. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 shall not perform or provide any Pricing and Market Access Services on behalf of CRA or any CRA customer, directly or indirectly, until the earlier of (i) the existing non-compete end date in their respective Employment Agreements or (ii) if applicable, their respective reduced non-compete end date set forth in Rider 4.1.  The words “perform or provide” in the preceding sentence includes any assistance, support, advice, knowledge, information, recommendations, labor, research, development, testing, marketing, selling or any other performance or delivery.  This Section 4.1(b) applies to activities whether provided as standalone Pricing and Market Access Services

7

or combined with other services.  This Section 4.1(b) applies to the performance of Pricing and Market Access Services anywhere in the world.

Nothing in this Section 4.1 modifies the terms of any non-competition restriction in any of the Employment Agreements or in any agreement between QuintilesIMS and any individual on Exhibit A, except as expressly stated in this Section 4.1 and Rider 4.1 for the specified individuals.

4.2                               Client non-solicitation.  CRA acknowledges Former QI Employee Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 14 are each subject to client non-solicitation restrictions in accordance with the terms of their respective Employment Agreements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, CRA and QuintilesIMS agree as follows:

(b)                                 QuintilesIMS agrees to limit the client non-solicitation restrictions applicable to Former QI Employee Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 14 during their employment with CRA to the companies specified in Exhibit C.  For the avoidance of doubt, work by Former QI Employee No. 14 on an existing client project and any renewal or expansion of that project will not constitute a breach of the client non-solicitation restriction.

Nothing in this Section 4.2 modifies the terms of any client non-solicitation restriction in any of the Employment Agreements or in any agreement between QuintilesIMS and any individual on Exhibit A, except as expressly stated in this Section 4.2 for the specified individuals.  Insofar as and only to the extent that they are employed by CRA, both Former QI Employee Nos. 6 and 14 are intended third party beneficiaries of Section 4.2(a).  Insofar as and only to the extent that they are employed by CRA, each of Former QI Employee Nos. 6, 7 and 14 are intended third party beneficiaries of Section 4.2(b).  For the avoidance of doubt and by way of example only, a Former QI Employee’s name listed on CRA marketing collateral that is not prepared for a specific project opportunity and is intended solely to reflect that Former QI Employee’s

8

participation within CRA’s Life Sciences practice shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 4.2.

4.3                               Non-Hire.  From the Effective Date up to and through June 30, 2018, CRA will not take, nor will CRA authorize any person or entity on its behalf to take, any of the following actions directly or indirectly:  (a) engage in any recruitment, solicitation or hiring of QuintilesIMS Employees; (b) engage in any discussions regarding employment opportunities at CRA with individuals they actually know (or have a good faith basis to know) at the time of the discussion to be QuintilesIMS Employees (even if a discussion is initiated by the individual seeking employment); and (c) extend any offers of employment to QuintilesIMS Employees.  Further, CRA will withdraw any un-accepted employment offers, if any, made to any QuintilesIMS Employees.

4.4                               Written Instruction and Assurances.  The Former QI Employees had access to QuintilesIMS Confidential Information during their employment with QuintilesIMS (“Prior Employment QI Confidential Information”).  CRA represents it has provided written instruction to each of the Former QI Employees consistent with the following:  (a) not to bring any Prior Employment QI Confidential Information to CRA, provided, however, as to Former QI Employees Nos. 3, 8 and 9, such instruction was provided orally and will be provided again in writing by CRA within five (5) days of the Effective Date, (b) not to use any Prior Employment QI Confidential Information for the direct or indirect benefit of CRA or otherwise in connection with his or her employment with CRA, and (c) not to share any Prior Employment QI Confidential Information with any other CRA employee, agent, contractor or representative.  Further, CRA has received written assurances from each of the Former QI Employees that they will handle Prior Employment QI Confidential Information in a manner that is consistent with each of (a), (b) and (c) of the preceding sentence, provided, however, that as to Former QI Employee Nos. 3, 8 and 9, such assurances were previously received orally and CRA will obtain such assurances again in writing from Former QI Employees Nos. 3,8 and 9 within five (5) days of the Effective Date.

ARTICLE V — INVESTIGATION, MONITORING, REMEDIATION

5.1                               Investigation.  As set forth below, CRA will undertake a thorough forensic investigation of CRA and Target Individuals (subject to any applicable data protection and privacy laws in each relevant country), including forensic examination of CRA equipment and systems and work performed by the Target Individuals, to identify (a) any Non-Compliant Material in their possession, custody or control that may have originated with any of the Former QI Employees, and (b) any Non-Compliant Conduct relating to the findings of any such Non-Compliant Material (the “Investigation”).  The Investigation will be conducted in accordance with the following:

(a)                                 Investigator and Protocol.  CRA has retained Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP (“Deloitte”) and personnel at Deloitte with relevant experience (“Investigator”) to perform the Investigation.  To date, the Investigator has copied CRA-issued laptops and CRA-retained emails from the individuals listed on Rider 5.1 (a), and has maintained custody and control of this information. CRA and QuintilesIMS will use best efforts to agree on a reasonable written protocol for the Investigation (“Protocol”), within fifteen (15) days of the Effective Date (the “Protocol Date”), with such agreement on the part of QuintilesIMS and CRA not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  The Investigation will be performed in accordance with the Protocol.  CRA will bear all costs related to the Investigation.

(b)                                 Report.  Subject to Section 5.1(d), the Investigator, at the conclusion of its Investigation, shall deliver to both QuintilesIMS and CRA a written report (“Report”) documenting the actions taken by the Investigator in performance of the Investigation and the Investigator’s findings (i.e., the Investigator’s determination of facts discovered during the Investigation, the Investigator’s analysis, and reasonable inferences determined by the Investigator based on the Investigator’s discovery of facts and analysis) with respect to any Non-Compliant Materials or Non-Compliant Conduct.

(c)                                  Cooperation.  CRA shall require, to the extent permissible under applicable laws, that each of the Target Individuals reasonably cooperate in the Investigation and provide all reasonably requested information to the Investigator.  Each of the Four Former UK Employees and the Former Norway Employee agree to reasonably cooperate with the Investigation.  CRA will promptly inform QuintilesIMS if any CRA employee fails to reasonably and promptly cooperate with the Investigation or the requests of the Investigator.

10

(d)                                 Timing.  The Investigator will use its commercially reasonable efforts to start its Investigation no later than fifteen (15) days from the Protocol Date, and complete its Investigation within ninety (90) days from the start of the Investigation.  The Investigator will use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Report to CRA within fifteen (15) days following the completion of the Investigation.  The Investigator will then deliver the Report to QuintilesIMS within fifteen (15) days following CRA’s receipt of the Report or as soon thereafter as practicable, subject to reasonable and limited redactions necessary to protect CRA or CRA client confidential or proprietary information, and subject to QuintilesIMS’ inspection rights under Section 5.3(a).

(e)                                  Consultation. Within thirty (30) days following QuintilesIMS receipt of the Report, QuintilesIMS may request a consultation with the Investigator to discuss and clarify the findings in the Report. CRA shall be entitled to participate in any such consultation. Investigator personnel leading the Investigation will be reasonably available for such consultation to discuss the actions taken by the Investigator in performance of the Investigation, the information contained in the Report, and answer QuintilesIMS questions relating to the Investigation and the Report.

5.2                               Monitoring.  For a period of six months following the Effective Date, CRA shall undertake reasonable steps to monitor the work activities of the Target Individuals, including monitoring of CRA equipment and systems used by Target Individuals to conduct CRA business, to confirm the Target Individuals are not engaged in Non-Compliant Conduct and do not possess or control Non-Compliant Material (“Monitoring”).  CRA and QuintilesIMS agree that Monitoring may be proportionate to the risks identified in connection with the Investigation and Monitoring (e.g., Monitoring may involve lower intensity Monitoring activities such as sampling for lower risk individuals; Monitoring may involve higher intensity Monitoring activities such as user activity monitoring for higher risk individuals).

5.3                               Remediation.  All Non-Compliant Material and Non-Compliant Conduct (including any discovered by the Investigator or CRA personnel, whether on, before or after the Effective Date) shall be subject to the remediation described in this Section 5.3.

11

(a)                                 CRA’s Proposed Response to the Report.  For any Non-Compliant Material or Non-Compliant Conduct identified in the Investigator’s Report, CRA will promptly notify  QuintilesIMS of CRA’s proposal to remedy such Non-Compliant Material and Non-Compliant Conduct, with such notice to be delivered no later than when the Investigator delivers the Report to QuintilesIMS under Section 5.1(d) (“Investigation Notice of Non-Compliance”).  Further, CRA will cooperate with QuintilesIMS to promptly find a mutually acceptable time, place and manner to provide any Non-Compliant Material for inspection by QuintilesIMS.

(b)                                 CRA’s Proposed Response during Monitoring.  If CRA discovers any Non-Compliant Material or Non-Compliant Conduct during Monitoring, CRA will notify QuintilesIMS within five (5) Business Days of such discovery in writing, with such notice containing a reasonable description of the Non-Compliant Material and/or Non-Compliant Conduct, CRA’s proposal to remedy the issue, and proposing a reasonable time, place and manner for QuintilesIMS’ inspection of the Non-Compliant Material, subject to appropriate confidentiality restrictions (“Monitoring Notice of Non-Compliance”).

(c)                                  Removal/Quarantine:  Upon QuintilesIMS’ receipt of an Investigation Notice of Non-Compliance or a Monitoring Notice of Non-Compliance, CRA and QuintilesIMS shall promptly confer and agree upon reasonable procedures for removing the Non-Compliant Material, so that it may not be further accessed by any CRA employee or other unauthorized individual, and in a manner consistent with CRA’s data preservation obligations and this Agreement.  If such removal cannot be effectuated consistent with CRA’s data preservation obligations and this Agreement, the Non-Compliant Material shall be quarantined in a manner mutually agreed upon by CRA and QuintilesIMS.

(d)                                 Certification of Destruction/Deletion:   Upon the conclusion of any investigation concerning Non-Compliant Material, and subject to QuintilesIMS’ approval (which approval will not be unreasonably delayed or denied), CRA shall destroy (or in the case of electronic materials, permanently delete) all Non-Compliant Materials and provide a certification of such destruction or deletion to QuintilesIMS.  Any such destruction shall not include any requirement to search or delete any CRA emergency back-up systems, tapes or similar disaster recovery systems (collectively “Back-up Copies”); provided, however, CRA will not use, distribute or provide any individual access (other than access by IT personnel in their day to day capacity as

12

IT personnel overseeing such back-up systems), to any QuintilesIMS Confidential Information on any Back-up Copies.

(e)                                  Disciplinary action.  Any CRA employee who engaged in Non-Compliant Conduct or possesses or controls Non-Compliant Material will be subject to disciplinary action commensurate with the non-compliance, up to and including termination of employment, as determined by CRA, in its sole discretion.

5.4.                            CRA Confidential Information. CRA shall be entitled to make reasonable redactions from any Report, or notice set out above, of any information that CRA believes to be confidential or proprietary information of CRA or any CRA client, subject to QuintilesIMS’ inspection rights in Section 5.3(a); provided, however, CRA agrees to redact the minimum amount necessary to protect the confidentiality of CRA’s information.  CRA agrees to reasonably cooperate with QuintilesIMS to discuss the nature of such redacted information and why CRA believes it is entitled to redact such information, including whether any such redacted information is derived in whole or in part from QuintilesIMS Confidential Information (in which case QuintilesIMS is entitled to inspect such information and CRA and QuintilesIMS shall agree upon reasonable procedures for such inspection, including but not limited to review on an attorneys-eyes only basis).

5.5.                            Obligations Subject to Data Protection and Data Privacy Laws. The rights and obligations set forth in this Article V are subject to any applicable data privacy, data protection and employment laws or regulations of any jurisdiction wherever located.

ARTICLE X - MISCELLANEOUS

10.1                        Injunctive Relief.  Should a Court determine in connection with deciding a motion for a temporary restraining order, preliminary and/or permanent injunction that it is reasonably likely that CRA, the Four Former UK Employees or the Former Norway Employee materially breached this Agreement, the Parties agree that the resultant injury to QuintilesIMS will be deemed irreparable, and the consent injunction against CRA, the Four Former UK Employees and the Former Norway Employee annexed hereto as Exhibit F, may be filed exclusively in the federal District Court of Massachusetts or Massachusetts state court, Suffolk County, to go into effect immediately upon entry by the Court (including but not limited to in connection with QuintilesIMS’ request for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief), and service upon CRA, the Four Former UK Employees and the Former Norway Employee. For avoidance of doubt, a Court determination in connection with an application for an ex parte temporary restraining order shall not entitle a party to file the consent injunction annexed as Exhibit F.  Further, the remedies described in this Section 10.1 shall be in addition to any other remedy to which QuintilesIMS may be entitled.

10.2                        Representations and Warranties.  The Parties represent and warrant that each is the sole and lawful owner of all rights, title, and interest in and to all matters each is releasing pursuant to

10.3                        No Admission.  The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement is entered into solely for the purpose of compromising, concluding, and preventing further involvement in any dispute between them, and that this Agreement and the actions taken pursuant to it do not constitute an admission of liability or wrongdoing by any of them.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit any Party from making disclosures: (i) to such Party’s attorneys, employees, officers, directors, auditors, accountants, tax advisors, insurers, financial sources and/or financial advisors; provided such persons agree to keep said information confidential and not disclose it to others except as required by law or regulatory filing requirements or inquiry; (ii) as may be necessary for purposes of tax or other reporting required by law and/or any regulatory inquiry; (iii) in response to court order, administrative order, subpoena or other legal process, pursuant to any request of any regulatory body or otherwise as required by law; (iv) in connection with an action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement; and/or (v) with the written permission of the other Party; provided, however, the non-disclosure obligations of this Section 10.4 will not apply to information which is generally available to the public.

For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 10.4 requires a party that believes that disclosure of this Agreement is necessary pursuant to subsection (iii) or (iv) hereunder to seek a protective order or otherwise to seek affirmative relief to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement, other than

22

providing prompt notice to the other Parties hereto that disclosure has been requested or will be made.  The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if this Section 10.4 were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, including seeking an injunction to enforce this Section 10.4, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that CRA intends to file this Agreement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, but shall redact in their entirety from such filing Exhibits A to C and I, and Riders 4.1 and 4.2.

EXHIBIT D

RESTRICTED EMPLOYEE REQUIREMENTS

In accordance with Article VIII, CRA and QuintilesIMS agree as follows:

1.              Restricted Access Requirements.  CRA will establish physical, technical and administrative controls to completely segregate all QuintilesIMS Confidential Information that comes into CRA’s possession or control, regardless of source, including QuintilesIMS data received by CRA in connection with the TPA Program, sufficient to ensure no such QuintilesIMS Confidential Information ever comes, directly or indirectly, into the possession, custody or control of the Restricted Employee or is otherwise accessed or used by the Restricted Employee.  Under this Exhibit D, for the avoidance of doubt, should QuintilesIMS Confidential Information come into the possession of or be disclosed to the Restricted Employee due to the actions of a third-party not directed by CRA, such inadvertent possession shall not be a violation of this provision, provided that the Restricted Employee promptly notifies CRA of such possession and CRA takes prompt steps to remove access to such QuintilesIMS Confidential Information; and provided further that Restricted Employee has undertaken reasonable steps to inform such third party that Restricted Employee should not receive any further QuintilesIMS Confidential Information; and provided further the Restricted Employee makes prompt reasonable inquiry of the third party when the Restricted Employee has reason to know he may have received QuintilesIMS Confidential Information.  Restricted Access Requirements includes, but is not limited to:

a.              Role.  CRA will employ the Restricted Employee in roles that do not require any access to QuintilesIMS Confidential Information and the risk of inadvertent access to QuintilesIMS Confidential Information is very low.  As of the Effective Date, following is a description of the role and responsibilities held by the Restricted Employee (“CRA Role”). It is understood that the CRA Role as to the actual consulting activities he may undertake shall only be in effect until June 30, 2018, but the restriction to QuintilesIMS Confidential Information shall be in effect for three (3) years from the Effective Date.

The CRA Role includes assistance in the ongoing internal development of CRA’s Life Sciences practice in Europe.  This may involve a number of internal projects focused on the development of infrastructure within the Life Sciences practice.  These projects are expected to focus on the following types of issues: (a) integration with the ongoing strategic planning effort for the practice; (b) the practice’s organization structure; (c) objectives and metrics (KPIs) for the practice; (d) financial model of practice operations; model for an account planning process, including the role of account coordinators across (e) the Strategy, Policy, and Litigation sectors of CRA’s Life Sciences practice; (f) compensation models by staff level that appropriately reflects project, marketing, recruiting, and other practice development efforts; (g) employee recruiting and acquisition opportunities (unrelated to QuintilesIMS), including an assessment of the opportunity for the Life Sciences practice in Asia; and (h) participation in career development activities.

In addition, the CRA Role may also involve assistance with opportunity identification and projects in the Policy and Litigation sectors of CRA’s Life Sciences practices leveraging his knowledge of health systems.

The Restricted Employee may not be involved in consulting strategy projects that involve Pricing and Market Access Services (up until June 30, 2018) or QuintilesIMS Confidential Information but may be involved in selling and delivering consulting projects that do not involve Pricing and Market Access Services or QuintilesIMS Confidential Information or is otherwise consistent with the above services.

CRA represents and warrants that the CRA Role does not have, and will not have, any responsibilities relating to any project or activities involving access to QuintilesIMS Confidential Information.

b.              Projects.  CRA will not permit the Restricted Employee to work on any project or assignment (client, internal or otherwise) that includes the use of QuintilesIMS Confidential Information, whether or not the Restricted Employee will have access to QuintilesIMS Confidential Information.  The requirements of this paragraph 1(b) includes project management or project supervisory responsibilities (i.e. under CRA’s project administration he will not have any contact with the QuintilesIMS Confidential Information, be the named officer in charge or project manager or have any other project review responsibilities for projects that have QuintilesIMS Confidential Information). For avoidance of doubt, CRA employees may report to Restricted Employee as their direct supervisor other than with respect to specific project work as set out above.

c.               Meetings.  CRA will not permit the Restricted Employee to participate in any meetings (client, internal or otherwise) in which any QuintilesIMS Confidential Information is likely to be accessed, distributed, disclosed or discussed.

2.              Documentation Requirements.  CRA will create and maintain reasonably complete and accurate documentation of its compliance with Article VIII and this Exhibit D sufficient to allow a third party representative of QuintilesIMS to verify CRA’s compliance with all such obligations and confirm the Restricted Employee has not had access to any QuintilesIMS Confidential Information in accordance with Section 1.  Documentation Requirements include, but are not limited to:

a.              Restricted Employee Assignment Log.  CRA will maintain a contemporaneous written record of all Restricted Employee assignments, projects, business development and other non-administrative activities, including written confirmation for each such assignment, project, business development or other non-administrative activities that no QuintilesIMS Confidential Information was required, used or accessed in connection with such work.

b.              Restricted E-mail Messages.  CRA will retain a copy of all Restricted Employee e-mail messages (including attachments), received and sent, in unaltered form for a minimum period of one year.

c.               Internal CRA Repositories.  CRA will maintain a log of all Restricted Employee access to internal CRA document, knowledge, project and other computer accessible repositories for a minimum period of one year, including (1) identifying information associated with the file (e.g., file name and other identifying attributes) together with a copy of the file of any accessed material or (2) contemporaneous confirmation that each such access did not include any access to QuintilesIMS Confidential Information.

d.              Projects and Assignments Involving Access to QuintilesIMS Confidential Information.  For each CRA project and assignment of the Restricted Employee, CRA will maintain documentation to confirm that no QuintilesIMS Confidential Information has been used or accessed.

e.               Computer Logs.  All computers and devices authorized by CRA for use by the Restricted Employee in connection with the Restricted Employee’s employment with CRA will be subject to logging by CRA of all computer-based activity, including file creation, access, deletion, modification, transfer and printing; provided, however, CRA is not required to maintain logs associated with mobile device access to web browsing or web-based applications.

3.              Compliance Requirements.  CRA will take affirmative actions to communicate the relevant requirements of Article VIII and this Exhibit D to CRA Life Sciences employees, actively monitor CRA’s compliance with Article VIII and this Exhibit D, promptly notify QuintilesIMS of any non-compliance with CRA’s obligations, propose to QuintilesIMS appropriate remediation of non-compliance (both to correct the non-compliance and prevent future non-compliance), and implement those remediation actions mutually agreed upon by CRA and QuintilesIMS.  Compliance Requirements shall mean:

a.              Communicate.  CRA will directly communicate sufficient information to CRA Life Sciences employees regarding the requirements of Article VIII and this Exhibit D to ensure such CRA employees understand and abide by these requirements.  Such communication will occur quarterly or more frequently as CRA deems necessary to ensure such employees understand and abide by these requirements.  Simply posting information to CRA’s intranet or other on-line tool is not adequate to meet the requirements of this paragraph 3(a).

b.              Monitor.

i.      CRA will retain Deloitte (the “Monitor”) to monitor CRA’s compliance with Article VIII and this Exhibit D and evaluate whether the Restricted Employee had access to any QuintilesIMS Confidential Information.

ii.     The Monitor will have full and complete access to the personnel, facilities, books, and records of CRA related to CRA’s obligations under this Agreement, as the Monitor may reasonably request.  CRA will cooperate with any reasonable request of the Monitor.  The Monitor will give CRA reasonable notice of any request for such access or such information and shall attempt to schedule any access or requests

for information in such a manner as will not unreasonably interfere with CRA’s operations.  At the request of the Monitor, CRA will promptly arrange meetings and discussions, including tours of relevant facilities, at reasonable times and locations between the Monitor and employees of CRA who have knowledge relevant to the proper discharge of the Monitor’s responsibilities.

iii.    The Monitor will undertake its monitoring activities quarterly (or more frequently if desired by the Monitor) and pursuant to protocols (including the reporting out process) that are subject to QuintilesIMS approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and report its findings to both QuintilesIMS and CRA in written form (subject to reasonable redactions necessary to protect CRA and CRA client confidential or proprietary information, subject to QuintilesIMS’ audit rights pursuant to this Exhibit D) within five (5) Business Days following the end of each reporting period.  All fees and expenses of the Monitor will be paid by CRA.

iv.    In the event the Monitor finds any unauthorized access or use of QI Confidential Information, then CRA will retain the Monitor to conduct an investigation in the manner described in Article V.

c.               Assess.  CRA will routinely assess the effectiveness of its communication, monitoring, documentation and other compliance with the obligations specified in Article VIII and this Exhibit D and make changes to correct any deficiencies identified in such assessments.  CRA will create and preserve documentation to evidence such assessments and corrective actions taken in response to such deficiencies.

d.              Notify.  CRA will notify QuintilesIMS in writing within five (5) Business Days of (i) any Restricted Employee access to QuintilesIMS Confidential Information, and (ii) any material non-compliance with Article VIII and this Exhibit D.  Each such notice will contain a reasonable description of the non-compliance and CRA’s proposal to remedy the issue.

e.               Corrective Action.  Upon QuintilesIMS’ receipt of a notification pursuant to paragraph 3(d) above, CRA and QuintilesIMS shall promptly confer and agree upon steps to be taken by CRA to remedy the non-compliance and ensure such non-compliance does not occur again.  CRA will promptly implement mutually agreed corrective actions.  Any disciplinary action relating to such non-compliance shall be in CRA’s sole discretion.

f.                Designated Compliance Representative.  During CRA’s Employment of the Restricted Employee, CRA will designate a senior CRA employee (other than the Restricted Employee) to monitor and document compliance with CRA’s obligations pursuant to Article VIII and this Exhibit D (the “Designated CRA Compliance Representative”).  As of the Effective Date, the following CRA employee is the Designated CRA Compliance Representative:

4.              Audit Requirements.  CRA agrees that an independent auditor selected by QuintilesIMS may, upon ten (10) days advance written notice to CRA, perform an audit of the processes, systems, records and documentation of CRA relating to any requirement or obligation under Article VIII and this Exhibit D.  Upon request of CRA, the auditor will execute a mutually agreed form of confidentiality agreement governing the treatment of any information or materials received by the auditor from CRA in connection with the audit.  The audit may be conducted at QuintilesIMS’ reasonable discretion by any one or more of the following: questionnaires, review of records or other documents, interviews or by other means designated by QuintilesIMS.  CRA shall maintain records of all documents required under this Exhibit D, as well as records maintained in the ordinary course of business that document or memorialize compliance with the terms of this Exhibit D.  CRA shall implement processes that allow for all documentation required pursuant to this Exhibit D to be collected and maintained by CRA for four (4) years from the Effective Date. The costs incurred by each party relating to an audit normally shall be borne by the party incurring such costs.  However, CRA shall reimburse QuintilesIMS for any costs incurred by QuintilesIMS in connection with an audit of CRA if such audit reveals a material breach by CRA of this Exhibit D.

Notwithstanding anything written in this Exhibit D and subject to Articles VI and VII of this Agreement, QuintilesIMS reserves the right to (a) pursue all legal action available to protect its property or enforce its rights, including the seeking of injunctive relief, and (b) use information disclosed to QuintilesIMS to evaluate CRA’s participation in the QuintilesIMS TPA Program. This Exhibit D shall be subject to data protection, data privacy and compliance with all applicable laws, as well as subject to reasonable redactions necessary to protect CRA or CRA client confidential or proprietary information, subject to QuintilesIMS’ audit rights pursuant to this Exhibit D.  Compliance with such data protection and/or data privacy laws shall not be a breach of this Agreement; provided, however, CRA shall reasonably cooperate with QuintilesIMS to avoid frustration of QuintilesIMS’ audit rights.

WITHDRAWAL OF COMPLAINT

Reference is made to the complaint regarding alleged illegal use of an employee’s personal data against IMS Health Technology Solutions Norway AS, as filed on behalf of Andras Ruppert dated 6 July 2017 (the “Complaint”).

In the Complaint, we requested that the Data Protection Authority open a case against Mr. Ruppert’s former employer IMS Health Technology Solutions Norway AS. The sister company IMSWorld Publications Ltd was also mentioned in the complaint.

The Complaint was filed in relation to an employment dispute between the above mentioned parties. The dispute is now settled. Hence, on behalf of Mr. Ruppert, we hereby withdraw the Complaint and request that the Data Protection Authority dismiss any ongoing case against Mr. Ruppert’s former employer. For the avoidance of doubt, Mr. Ruppert believes there was a misunderstanding that has been resolved between him and the above mentioned companies and he is no longer pursuing this matter.

Best regards

TREKKING AV KLAGE

Vi viser til klage om påstått ulovlig bruk av arbeidstakers personopplysninger mot IMS Health Technology Solutions Norway AS, som ble sendt på vegne av Andras Ruppert 6. juli 2017 (“Klagen”).

I Klagen ble det bedt om at Datatilsynet opprettet en sak mot Rupperts tidligere arbeidsgiver IMS Health Technology Solutions Norway AS. Søsterselskapet IMSWorld Publications Ltd ble også nevnt i Klagen.

Klagen ble fremsatt i sammenheng med en arbeidsrettslig tvist mellom partene nevnt ovenfor. Tvisten er nå forlikt. På bakgrunn av dette trekker vi på vegne av Ruppert den fremsatte Klagen og ber om at Datatilsynet henlegger eventuelle pågående saker mot Rupperts tidligere arbeidsgiver. For å unngå uklarhet, er det Rupperts oppfatning at det har vært en misforståelse mellom ham og de ovennevnte selskapene som nå er løst, og han ønsker ikke lenger å forfølge denne saken.

Med vennlig hilsen

[Rupperts advokat]
