 Miscellaneous Allowance 

A miscellaneous allowance will be paid to you at the beginning of your assignment and at the time of repatriation to the United States. Then intention of these
funds is to cover any move related expenses not covered by IHS, including deposits to set up bank accounts, utilities, meals in transit, etc. This allowance (which will be net of taxes) will be paid by MSI and can be paid in either the UK or the US
into a bank account of your choosing. 
 Shipment of Household Goods 

Upon initiation of assignment, IHS will provide shipment of household goods including packing, insurance and customs fees to London via air or surface
shipment. 
 At the time of your repatriation to the United States, IHS will provide shipment of household goods to the United States. This service will be

 Storage 
 You are
eligible for storage of goods in your home location for the duration of your assignment. This benefit will be coordinated through the IHS designated relocation vendor and paid directly by IHS. 

Home Leave and Relocation Travel 
 You are eligible for
three round-trip business class airline tickets per year between the United States and the United Kingdom; these tickets may be used for you and your family to travel for home leave.

Tax Equalization/Hypothetical Tax 
 During your foreign
assignment, you will be tax equalized. The intent of tax equalization is that your ultimate tax liability will be tax neutral to that which you would have paid in the US had you not received assignment-related compensation or special tax
considerations. For additional information please reference the Tax Equalization Policy Included with this letter for your reference. 
 For each of the
years 2016-2021 (as applicable), a final tax equalization calculation will be prepared to settle your international assignment tax obligations. The mechanism to ensure that you continue to bear the same level of tax involves the deduction of a
“hypothetical” home country tax. The hypothetical tax is used by the Company to settle applicable host and home country taxes. IHS will pay any taxes due over and above the hypothetical tax. For more information, please review the Tax
Equalization Policy.

 Tax Consultation 

IHS will assign a professional tax consultant to assist you with your tax preparation and returns in both the home and host countries for tax years 2016-2021
(as applicable). The tax support continues past the end of your assignment as you may be in receipt of trailing income which could relate to the period you were assigned to the UK. This will be explained in more detail during your pre assignment
meeting with the tax consultant. 
 Acceptance of this Letter indicates your willingness to work with PwC and provide them with necessary information to
complete your tax returns and calculate the tax equalization. If you do not provide this information in a timely manner and tax penalties are incurred due to this delinquency, you will be personally responsible for paying the tax penalties. IHS will
not pay or reimburse these penalties for you. The tax ramifications of your international assignment require careful record keeping as well as timely submission of data. You are expected to comply with your responsibilities under the agreement and
to submit requested data timely so that any assignment related reimbursements and tax equalization payments are treated as 409A exceptions. These responsibilities include the timely submission of any reimbursement requests (within 30 days) and/or to
provide any personal information required for the tax equalization calculation on a timely basis (soon after the close of the year). 
 Conflict of
Interest 
 By accepting this international assignment, you understand and agree that you will not engage in any employment or business enterprise that
would in any way conflict with the interests of IHS Markit and/or IHS Markit affiliated companies. We recommend that you refrain from any political activity while outside of the US. 

Business Conduct and Ethics 
 While on assignment, the
Company expects the highest standards of business and personal integrity. As an ambassador of the Company, the Company’s reputation depends on you exercising sound judgment in your behavior. 

Term of Assignment 
 The anticipated term of this
assignment is September 1, 2016 through August 30, 2018.

In the event you are involuntarily terminated by the Company prior to completion of the international assignment, you will be covered under the applicable
severance policy, if any. You and your family members will be repatriated to the US, based on the provisions of the IHS expatriate program. 
 In the event
you voluntarily terminate, there is no obligation on the part of the Company to return you to the US.
