Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 7, 2013, The Nielsen Company (US), LLC ("Nielsen"), a subsidiary of the registrants, amended its Amended and Restated Master Services Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of October 1, 2007 with Tata America International Corporation and Tata Consultancy Services Limited (jointly, "TCS"). The term of the Agreement has been extended for an additional three years, so as to expire on December 31, 2020, with a one-year renewal option granted to Nielsen. Nielsen has increased its commitment to purchase services from TCS (the "Minimum Commitment") from $1.0 billion to $2.5 billion over the life of the contract (from October 1, 2007), including a commitment to purchase at least $100 million in services per year (the "Annual Commitment"). TCS' charges under the separate Global Infrastructure Services Agreement between the parties will be credited against the Minimum Commitment and the Annual Commitment. TCS will globally provide Nielsen with professional services relating to information technology (including application development and maintenance), business process outsourcing, client service knowledge process outsourcing, management sciences, analytics, and financial planning and analytics. As Nielsen orders specific services under the Agreement, the parties will execute Statements Of Work ("SOWs") describing the specific scope of the services to be performed by TCS. The amount of the Minimum Commitment and the Annual Commitment may be reduced on the occurrence of certain events, some of which also provide Nielsen with the right to terminate the Agreement or SOWs, as applicable.
