	2.	COMMENCEMENT AND TITLE 

 The Plan shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall be
known as The Markit Key Employee Incentive Program (KEIP). 
  

	3.	GRANT OF OPTIONS 

  

	3.1	The Board may from time to time in its absolute discretion grant Options to such Eligible Employees as it shall in its absolute discretion select. No Eligible Employee shall be entitled as of right to participate. The
extent of any grant of Options shall be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion. 

  

	3.2	No payment shall be required in consideration for the grant of an Option. The Board shall grant Options by deed or in such form as the Board shall decide. A single deed of grant may be executed in favour of any number
of Participants. 

  

	3.3	Each Participant shall on, or as soon as possible after, the Date of Grant be issued with a certificate: 

  

	 	(a)	evidencing the grant of the Option; 

  

	 	(b)	setting out the Exercise Price; 

  

	 	(c)	including the applicable Vesting Terms determined under Rule 3.4 below; 

  

	 	(d)	setting out any other Condition(s) determined under Rule 3.5 below. 

  

	3.4	The Board may grant an Option subject to such Vesting Terms as it in its discretion thinks fit pursuant to which an Option shall Vest and become exercisable in accordance with these Rules. 

 

	3.5	The Board may grant an Option subject to such Condition(s) as it in its discretion thinks fit which must (save as otherwise provided in the Rules) be fulfilled before the Option (other than a new option under Rule 9.2
and 9.3) may be exercised. No such Condition(s) may subsequently be varied or waived (save as otherwise provided in the Rules) unless circumstances occur which cause the Board to determine that such Condition(s) shall have ceased to be appropriate
whereupon the Board may in its absolute sole discretion vary or waive such Condition(s) so that any new Condition(s) imposed or any variation are in its opinion fair, reasonable and no more difficult to satisfy than the previous Condition(s).

  

	3.6	No Option may be granted at any time at which a dealing in the Shares would not be permitted under the Company’s share dealing code, the Model Code, other applicable laws or any applicable securities exchange rules
or regulations. 

  

	3.7	No Option may be granted under the Plan later than ten years after the Commencement Date. 

  

	3.8	The aggregate number of Shares that may be issued or used for reference purposes under the Plan shall not exceed three (3) million (subject to any increase or decrease pursuant to Rule 10.1 of the Plan). If any
Option granted under this Plan shall lapse, expire or be terminated or cancelled for any reason without having been exercised in full, the Shares underlying any unexercised Option shall again be available for the purpose of Options under the Plan.

  
 4 

	4.	THE EXERCISE PRICE 

  

	4.1	The Exercise Price of an Option shall be determined by the Board not later than the Date of Grant. 

  

	4.2	The Exercise Price is subject to adjustment in accordance with Rule 12. 

  

	5.	NON-ASSIGNABILITY OF OPTIONS 

  

	5.1	An Option may not be transferred, charged, pledged, mortgaged or encumbered in any way whatsoever by a Participant or his personal representative(s). In the event of any breach or purported breach of this Rule, an
Option shall lapse forthwith. This Rule 5 shall not prevent the personal representative(s) of a deceased Participant from exercising an Option in accordance with the Rules or the law of succession. 

 

	5.2	In addition, all Options granted to a Participant under the Plan and any Shares to be issued upon exercise of any Option shall be restricted as to any pledge, hypothecation, or other transfer, including any short
position, any “put equivalent position”, or any “call equivalent position” (as such terms are defined in Rule 12h-1(f)(1)(v) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Securities Exchange Act”)), by the
Participant prior to the exercise of the Option (except in the circumstances permitted in Rule 12h-1(f)(1)(iv) under the Securities Exchange Act), until the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act or is no longer relying on the exemption set forth in Rule 12h-1(f)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act. 

  

	6.	EXERCISE OF OPTIONS 

  

	6.1	Save as otherwise provided in the Rules and subject to Rule 8, a Subsisting Option shall be exercisable during the Option Period only to the extent it has Vested, and provided that any Condition(s) shall have been
fulfilled or waived.

	 	(f)	the business or part of the business to which the Participant’s office or employment relates being transferred to a person who is not a Member of the Group; 

 

	 	(g)	the termination of the Participant’s Employment due to a termination by the Company without Cause or a resignation by the Participant for Good Reason; or 

 

	 	(h)	any other reason (other than those set out in Rule 7(f)) and that the Board in its absolute discretion so permits, 

a Subsisting Option shall, provided any Condition(s) have been satisfied or waived, be exercisable to the extent it has Vested as at the date
of cessation during a period of three months (or 12 months where Employment is terminated for a reason set out in Rules 6.2(a) or (b)) commencing on the date of cessation of Employment, or as otherwise

  
 5 

 
determined by the Board pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable Option certificate. 
  

	6.3	If a Participant ceases to hold Employment before the expiry of the Option Period for any of the reasons set out in Rule 6.2(a) to (g) above, or the Board determines that an Option may be exercised under Rule
6.2(h) above, the Board may permit the exercise of any part of a Subsisting Option which has not, as at the date of cessation of Employment, Vested. In such circumstances, subject to Rule 8, the Option may be exercised over such number of Shares and
during such time period as the Board may in its absolute discretion determine, provided always that a Subsisting Option may be exercised over a maximum of the total number of Shares in respect of which it was granted. 

 

	7.	LAPSE 

 A Subsisting Option, whenever granted, shall lapse and cease to be exercisable
upon the earliest to happen of the following: 
  

	 	(a)	the expiry of the Option Period; 

  

	 	(b)	the expiry of any period within which a Condition has to be satisfied in accordance with its terms, if such Condition remains unsatisfied at that date and has not been waived; 

 

	 	(c)	the expiry of the applicable period mentioned in Rule 6.2, except that, if the Participant dies during such period, a Subsisting Option shall not lapse by reason of this Rule 7(d) until the first anniversary of the date

 6 

	 	
rules or regulations, such an Option shall not lapse and cease to be capable of exercise until the expiry of one month after the first date on which the prohibition ceases to apply.

  

	8.	MANNER OF EXERCISE OF OPTIONS 

  

	8.1	Subject to Rule 8.2, a Subsisting Option shall be exercised by the Participant lodging with the Secretary of the Company at its registered office (or otherwise as may be notified to Participants from time to time):

  

	 	(a)	an option certificate in respect of the Option to be exercised; 

  

	 	(b)	a notice of exercise in the form set out at Schedule 2 to the Form of Option certificate appended to those Rules, or such other form as the Board may from time to time prescribe; and 

 

	 	(c)	payment (in cash or in such other manner as the Board shall permit, including but not limited to an undertaking to pay) of the Exercise Price in respect of the Option; 

and the date of exercise shall be the date of receipt of such notice and payment or such other date as the Board may have specified in the
notice of exercise. 
  

	8.2	In the event that on the exercise of an Option by a Participant under these Rules: 

  

	 	(a)	that Participant’s Employing Company would be liable for Employer’s NICs in respect of that exercise; and 

  

	 	(b)	the Board gives him written notice that it requires him to enter into an election as referred to below, such notice to be given within 30 days after the receipt of the notice of exercise; 

the exercise of that Option shall not be effective unless within one month after the date of such notice: 

 

	 	(i)	the Participant shall have entered into a form of joint election, in such form as determined by the Board and approved in advance by HMRC, for the transfer to the Participant of the whole or any part of the
Employer’s NICs due on the exercise of that Option; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the arrangements made in that election for securing that the Participant will meet the liability transferred to him have been approved in advance by HMRC; 

and, in the event that such condition is satisfied within the specified period, the date of exercise of the Option shall be the date on which
the condition is satisfied and, in the event that the condition is not satisfied within the specified period, the exercise of the Option under Rule 8.1 shall be deemed to be invalid. 

 

	8.3	An Option may be exercised in whole or in part. Following any exercise of an Option in part (other than an exercise which exhausts the Option) the Participant shall be sent a new Option certificate in respect of the
balance of Shares which are the subject of such Option. 

  

	8.4	Unless otherwise provided in these Rules, no Option shall be treated as having been exercised unless and until the Board is satisfied that any Condition(s) have been satisfied or partially satisfied in accordance with
their terms or have been waived. 

  

	8.5	 Subject to the obtaining of any necessary consents from H.M. Treasury, the Bank of England or other competent authority and to the terms of any such
consent and subject to 

  
 7 

	 	
Rules 8.2, 8.4, 8.7, 8.9 and 12.4 the Board shall within 30 days of the exercise of an Option (or, in the event that the Board requires the condition specified in Rule 8.2 to be satisfied, within
30 days of the satisfaction of that condition) cause the Company to allot and issue or procure the transfer of the relevant Shares and send or cause to be sent to the Participant a share certificate (or other evidence of title) for the Shares in
respect of which the Option is exercised. 

  

	8.6	Shares issued or transferred pursuant to the Plan will rank pari passu in all respects with Shares then already in issue except that they will not rank for any dividend or other distribution of the Company paid or made
by reference to a record date falling prior to the date of exercise of the relevant Option. 

  

	8.7	If and for so long as the Shares are Admitted, the Company shall as soon as practicable after any such allotment apply to the applicable authorities for permission for the same to be Admitted. Any application may be
postponed at the Board’s sole discretion until application can be made in respect of such number of shares as the Board considers appropriate. 

  

	8.8	The Company shall maintain sufficient unissued share capital to satisfy all rights to subscribe for Shares from time to time under Subsisting Options. 

 

	8.9	The Company and/or the Employing Company of a Participant and/or the Trustees shall have the right, prior to the delivery of the Shares otherwise deliverable to him on the exercise of an Option: 

 

	 	(a)	to require the Participant to remit to or at the direction of his Employing Company an amount sufficient to satisfy the Option Tax Liability; and/or 

 

	 	(b)	to reduce the number of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant by an amount equal in value to the amount of the Option Tax Liability or sell a sufficient number of the Shares on behalf of the Participant to
realise sale proceeds equivalent to the Option Tax Liability and remit such amount to or at the direction of his Employing Company or the Trustees in satisfaction of the liability; and/or 

 

	 	(c)	to deduct the amount of the Option Tax Liability from cash payments otherwise to be made to the Participant. 

The Board may make such arrangements and determinations in this regard, consistent with the Rules, as it may in its absolute discretion
consider to be appropriate. 
  

	9.	RECONSTRUCTION, TAKEOVER OR LIQUIDATION 

  

	9.1	Subject to Rules 9.2 and 9.3, if a Specified Event occurs before the expiry of the Option Period, Participants shall be notified and, provided any Condition(s) have been satisfied or waived, a Subsisting Option shall
become exercisable (whether or not it is then Vested) immediately following the Specified Event and may be exercised until the earlier of: 

  

	 	(a)	the expiry of the period of one month commencing on the date of the Specified Event; and 

  

	 	(b)	the expiry of any period during which any person is bound or entitled to acquire Shares under the Compulsory Acquisition Provisions; 

provided that the Board may in its absolute discretion permit a Subsisting Option to become exercisable on such date prior to the Specified
Event as the Board shall in its sole discretion reasonably determine, in which case: 
  

	 	(i)	any such exercise shall be conditional upon the Specified Event occurring; 

  
 8 

	 	(ii)	if the Specified Event does not occur, any such exercise shall be null and void; and 

  

	 	(iii)	if the Specified Event occurs, any such exercise shall take effect immediately prior to the Specified Event. 

  

	9.2	If a company (the “Acquiring Company”) obtains Control of the Company or becomes bound or entitled to acquire Shares as a result of a Specified Event, the Board may determine in its absolute sole
discretion that Rule 9.1 shall not apply and that, subject to agreement with the Acquiring Company, subsisting options shall be continued, substituted for or assumed by the Acquiring Company on such terms as are agreed with the Acquiring Company in
connection with the Specified Event. 

  

	9.3	Rule 9.1 shall not apply in the case of an Internal Reorganisation, unless the Acquiring Company fails to make an offer to Participants to release Subsisting Options in accordance with Rule 9.2 within one week of
obtaining Control or becoming bound or entitled to acquire Shares or the Court’s sanction, in which case Rule 9.1 shall apply as if the Specified Event had occurred on the day following the end of the period of one week mentioned above.

  

	9.4	For the purposes of this Rule 9, other than Rule 9.3 above, a person shall be deemed to have obtained Control of the Company if he and others acting in concert with him have together obtained Control of it.

  

	9.5	The exercise of an Option pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Rule 9 shall be subject to the provisions of Rule 8. 

  

	10.	CAPITAL REORGANISATION 

  

	10.1	In the event of: 

  

	 	(a)	any variation in the share capital of the Company by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves or by way of rights or any consolidation or sub-division or reduction of capital or otherwise; 

 

	 	(b)	any demerger, dividend in specie or super dividend; or 

  

	 	(c)	any other corporate event which in the reasonable opinion of the Board justifies such an adjustment; 

then the number, nominal value and description of Shares subject to any Subsisting Options, the Exercise Price and, where an Option has been
exercised but as at the date of the variation of capital referred to above no Shares have been allotted or transferred pursuant to such exercise, the number of Shares which may be so allotted or transferred and the price at which they may be
acquired, may be adjusted by the Board in such manner and with effect from such date as the Board may determine to be appropriate. 
  

	10.2	No adjustment under Rule 10.1 shall be made which would reduce the Exercise Price of any Option to subscribe for Shares below the nominal value of a Share unless and to the extent that: 

 

	 	(a)	the Board is authorised to capitalise from the reserves of the Company a sum equal to the amount by which the nominal value of the Shares subject to the Option exceeds the aggregate adjusted Exercise Price; and

  

	 	(b)	the Board shall resolve to capitalise and apply such sum on exercise of that Option. 

  
 9 

	10.3	The Board shall notify Participants in such manner as it thinks fit of any adjustment made under Rule 10.1 and may call in, cancel, endorse, issue or re-issue any Option certificate as a result of any such adjustment.

  

	10.4	Any adjustment made to an Option held by a United States taxpayer under Rule 8.1 shall be intended not to subject the Option to Section 409A of the Code. 

 

	11.	EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS 

  

	11.1	The Plan shall not form part of any contract of employment between any Member of the Group, or any Associated Company of the Company and any employee of any such company and the rights and obligations of any individual
under the terms of his office or employment with any such company shall not be affected by his participation in the Plan or any right which he may have to participate therein. 

 

	11.2	The grant of an Option to a Participant on one occasion is no indication that any further Option(s) shall be granted to such Participant. 

 

	11.3	No Eligible Employee or Participant shall be entitled to any compensation for any loss which he may suffer as a result of the exercise by the Board, or its failure to exercise, any of the discretions given to it by the
Rules even if such exercise, or failure to exercise, constitutes a breach of contract or breach of duty by the Company or by any Member of the Group or any Associated Company of the Company by whom the Eligible Employee or Participant is employed or
gives rise to any other claim whatsoever. 

  

	11.4	Neither participation in the Plan nor the grant of an Option shall form any part of a Participant’s remuneration or count as his remuneration for any purpose or be pensionable. 

 

	11.5	Participation in the Plan shall be on the express condition that: 

  

	 	(a)	neither it nor cessation of participation shall afford any individual under the terms of his office or employment with any Member of the Group, or any Associated Company of the Company any additional or other rights to
compensation or damages; and 

  

	 	(b)	no damages or compensation shall be payable in consequence of the termination of such office or employment (whether or not in circumstances giving rise to a claim for wrongful or unfair dismissal) or for any other
reason whatsoever to compensate him for the loss of any rights the Participant would otherwise have had (actual or prospective) under the Plan howsoever arising but for such termination; and 

 

	 	(c)	the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any such rights to which he may otherwise have been entitled.

	12.	ADMINISTRATION AND AMENDMENT 

  

	12.1	The Plan shall be administered under the direction of the Board who may at any time and from time to time by resolution and without other formality delete, amend or add to the Rules of the Plan in any respect provided
that: 

  

	 	(a)	no deletion, amendment or addition shall operate to affect adversely in any material way any rights already acquired by a Participant under the Plan without the approval of the majority of the affected Participants
first having been obtained; 

  

	 	(b)	no deletion, amendment or addition to the advantage of Participants may be made to any of the provisions of the Plan relating to: 

  

	 	(i)	eligibility; 

  

	 	(ii)	the limitations on the number or amount of Shares, cash or other benefits subject to the Plan; 

  

	 	(iii)	the maximum entitlement for any one Participant; 

  

	 	(iv)	the basis for determining a Participant’s entitlement to, and the terms of, Shares, cash or other benefits to be provided under the Plan and for the adjustment thereof (if any) in the event of a capitalisation
issue, rights issue or open offer, sub-division or consolidation of Shares or reduction of capital or any other variation of capital; 

except with the prior approval of the Company in general meeting, unless the deletion, amendment or addition is minor and to benefit the
administration of the Plan, to obtain or maintain HMRC approval of the Plan, to obtain or maintain favourable tax, exchange control or regulatory treatment for Participants or any Member of the Group or to take into account existing or proposed
legislation. 
  

	12.2	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Rules, the Board may at any time by resolution and without further formality establish further plans, sub-plans or guidelines or provisions to apply in
overseas territories governed by rules similar to these Rules but modified to take account of local tax, exchange control or securities laws, regulation or practice provided that any Shares made available under any such plan shall be treated as
counting against any limits on overall or individual participation in the Plan 

  

	12.3	The Board may from time to time make and vary such rules and regulations not inconsistent with the Plan and establish such procedures for the administration and implementation of the Plan as it thinks fit and in the
event of any dispute or disagreement as to the interpretation of any such rules, regulations or procedures, the decision of the Board shall be final and binding upon all persons. The Board may designate employees of the Company and professional
advisors to assist the Board in the administration of the Plan and (to the extent permitted by applicable law and securities exchange rules and regulations) may grant authority to officers to grant options and/or execute agreements or other
documents, on behalf of the Board. 

  

	12.4	 The Plan, the granting or exercise of Options under the Plan, and the other obligations of the Company under the Plan, shall be subject to all
applicable national or local laws, rules, and regulations and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required, and to any rules or regulations of any exchange or securities association on which the Shares are listed.
The Company, in its discretion, may postpone the granting and exercise of Options, the issuance or delivery of Shares under any Option or any other action permitted under the Plan to permit the Company, with reasonable diligence, to complete such
stock exchange listing or registration or qualification of such Shares or other required action under any national or local law, rule, or regulation and may require any Participant to make such representations and furnish such information as it may

  
 11 

	 	
consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of Shares in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations. The Company shall not be obliged by virtue of any provision
of the Plan to recognise the exercise of any Option or to otherwise sell or issue Shares in violation of any such laws, rules, or regulations; and any postponement of the exercise and settlement of any Option under this provision shall not extend
the term of such Option, and neither the Company nor its directors or officers shall have any obligation or liability to the Participant with respect to any Option (or Shares issuable or transferable thereunder) that shall lapse because of such
postponement. 

  

	12.5	The Board’s decision on any matter relating to the interpretation of the Rules and any other matters concerning the Plan (including the rectification of errors or mistakes of procedure or otherwise) shall be final,
conclusive and binding. 

  

	12.6	Any notice or other communication under or in connection with the Plan may be given:

	12.7	The Company shall bear the costs of setting up and administering the Plan. However, the Company may require any Participating Company to reimburse the Company for any costs borne by the Company directly or indirectly in
respect of such Participating Company’s officers or employees.

pursuant to the Plan. 

  

	12.10	The Company may send copies to Participants of any notice or document sent by the Company to the holders of Shares. 

  

	12.11	If any Option certificate shall be worn out, defaced or lost, it may be replaced on such evidence being provided as the Board may require. 

 

	12.12	In the case of the partial exercise of an Option, the Board may call in and endorse or cancel and re-issue as it thinks fit, any certificate for the balance of Shares over which the Option was granted.

  

	13.	DATA PROTECTION 

 As a condition of the grant of an Option, a Participant consents to the
collection, retention, use, processing and transfer (whether between themselves or to any third party and including transfer to countries outside the European Economic Area) of his Personal Data by any Member of the Group, any of their Associated
Companies, the Trustees, any administrator of the Plan or the Company’s registrars or brokers for the purposes of implementing and operating the Plan.

	15.	TERMINATION 

 The Board or Company in general meeting may resolve at any time that no
Options or further Options shall be granted under the Plan and in any event no Options may be granted under the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the Commencement Date provided that this Rule shall not affect the subsisting rights of
Participants. 
  

	16.	GOVERNING LAW

whatsoever nature arising out of or in any way relating to these Rules or their formation (including any non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.

  

	17.	CERTAIN INFORMATION

set forth in Rule 12h-1(f)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act and is not subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act, provide to each Participant (i) information about the risks associated with
