2.1 The Plan commenced on the Commencement Date and shall continue to be known as The Markit Share Option Plan.

4

2.2 The Rules are hereby amended and restated in their entirety.

2.3 The purposes of the Plan are to enable the Company to motivate Eligible Participants who are important to the success and growth of the business of the Company and to create a long-term mutuality of interest between the Eligible Participants and the shareholders of the Company by granting the Eligible Participants Options to purchase Plan Shares.

3. THE GRANT OF OPTIONS

3.1 The Board may grant Options to Eligible Participants to acquire Plan Shares subject to the Rules including, the Vesting Terms and such other terms or conditions as the Board may in its absolute discretion determine. Options may be granted only to such Eligible Participants as the Board shall in its absolute discretion select. No Eligible Participant 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 consideration shall be payable for the grant of an Option. The Board shall grant Options by deed in such form as the Board shall decide. Each Participant shall on, or as soon as possible after, the Date of Grant, be issued with an Option Certificate:

(a) evidencing the grant of an Option;

(b) setting out the Exercise Price;

(c) including the applicable Vesting Terms; and

(d) setting out any other terms or conditions as the Board may determine under Rule 3.1.

3.3 The aggregate number of Plan Shares that may be issued or used for reference purposes under the Plan shall not exceed such number as determined by the Board from time to time (subject to any increase or decrease pursuant to Rule 8.1 of the Plan).

4. THE EXERCISE PRICE

4.1 The Exercise Price of an Option shall be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion no later than the Date of Grant.

4.2 The Exercise Price is subject to adjustment in accordance with Rule 8.

5. NON-ASSIGNABILITY OF OPTIONS

5.1 No Option granted to an Eligible Participant under the Plan shall be capable of being transferred by him or his personal representative(s) or of being mortgaged, pledged or encumbered in any way whatsoever and no Plan Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option (prior to the Option being exercised) shall be capable of being transferred by him or his personal representative(s) or of being mortgaged, pledged or

5

encumbered in any way whatsoever. In the event of any breach or purported breach of this provision the Option shall lapse forthwith. This Rule 5.1 shall not prevent the personal representative(s) of a deceased Participant from exercising the Option in accordance with the Rules.

5.2 In addition, all Options granted to an Eligible Participant under the Plan and any Plan 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. WHEN OPTIONS MAY BE EXERCISED

6.1 A Subsisting Option shall be exercisable only to the extent that it has vested in accordance with the Vesting Terms which, for the avoidance of doubt, are subject to Rules 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 7 and 9.

6.1A Any Subsisting Option shall only be exercisable during an Option Exercise Window.

6.2 Subject to Rule 6.4, a Subsisting Option, whenever granted, shall lapse and cease to be exercisable upon the earliest to happen of the following:

(a) such lapse date as the Board may determine at the Date of Grant and set out in the Option Certificate or where the Board does not determine such lapse date, the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date (in either case, the “Normal Lapse Date”);

(b) where a Participant becomes a Departing Employee or ceases to be a consultant by reason of death, disability or Retirement, the Normal Lapse Date, in respect of any element of a Subsisting Option which has vested on the date the Participant so becomes a Departing Employee or ceases to be a consultant in accordance with the Vesting Terms;

(c) the date upon which the Participant (who is not a consultant) becomes a Departing Employee in circumstances where the Participant is a Bad Leaver;

(d) the date on which a Participant who is a consultant (and not a director or employee) ceases to be a consultant by reason of:

(i) the termination by the Company (or other Member of the Group) of the Participant’s consultancy agreement (or other agreement under which his services are provided) pursuant to the terms of such agreement; or

(ii) the voluntary termination by the Participant of such agreement or the giving by him of notice to terminate the agreement within six months of the Date of Grant; or

(iii) for such reasons as are set out in the Option Certificate (if any),

6

in respect of any element of a Subsisting Option which has not vested in accordance with the Vesting Terms on such date;

(e) subject to Rule 6.2(b), three months (or such other time period as may be determined by the Board under Rule 6.4(a)) from the date on which a Participant:

(i) becomes a Departing Employee in circumstances other than where the Participant is a Bad Leaver; or

(ii) ceases to be a consultant in circumstances other than those set out in the Option Certificate (if any),

in respect of the element of the Subsisting Option which has vested on the date the Participant so becomes a Departing Employee or ceases to be a consultant in accordance with the Vesting Terms;

(f) immediately on the date on which the Participant becomes a Departing Employee, or on which he ceases to be a consultant, in respect of any element of the Subsisting Option which has not vested in accordance with the Vesting Terms on such date; and

(g) the expiry of the periods mentioned in Rules 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4 and 9.5.

6.3 A Participant may, with the prior agreement of the Board, exercise a Subsisting Option in whole or in part at any time, notwithstanding that it or the relevant part thereof has not then vested in accordance with the Vesting Terms.

6.4 In respect of any Subsisting Option, the Board may at any time in its absolute discretion determine:

(a) that, notwithstanding that such Option has not then vested in accordance with the Vesting Terms, it shall be treated as having vested over such number of Plan Shares as the Board shall determine (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, exceeding the maximum number of Plan Shares which remain capable of vesting under the Vesting Terms); and

(b) to extend the period during which such Option may be exercised and the lapse date of such Option, provided that the Board may not extend the lapse date beyond the Normal Lapse Date.

6.5 A person is a “Bad Leaver” if:

(a) the reason for the person having become a Departing Employee is as a result of:

(i) his dismissal or the termination of the Departing Employee’s service contract (or other arrangements pursuant to which his services are provided to the Company and/or any Subsidiary) in circumstances which, for any reason, justify (or which, if the Departing Employee

7

were an employee of the Company or any such Subsidiary, would so justify) his summary dismissal or summary termination (without, for the avoidance of doubt, notice or payment in lieu of notice being required):

(A) under the Departing Employee’s service contract or other arrangements pursuant to which his services are provided; or

(B) if such Departing Employee is employed in the United Kingdom, at common law,

(respectively, a “Dismissal” and a “Termination”); or

(ii) the services of the Departing Employee (whether provided in accordance with the terms of a service contract or other arrangements pursuant to which his services are provided to the Company and/or any Subsidiary) being or becoming no longer available to the Company and/or any such Subsidiary in breach (other than by breach by the Company or any such Subsidiary) of such service contract or other arrangements; or

(iii) his Voluntary Resignation (or voluntary termination of the arrangements pursuant to which his services are provided to the Company and/or any Subsidiary of the Company) where circumstances exist in which the Company or any Subsidiary would have been entitled to effect a Dismissal or Termination in respect of such Departing Employee; or

(b) the Participant is an employee of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company whose employment relationship with the Company or such Affiliate is governed by the laws of the United States and/or any state therein:

(i) in the case where there is no employment agreement, change in control agreement or similar agreement in effect between the Company or such Affiliate and the Participant on the date of issue of Plan Shares (or where there is such an agreement but it does not define “cause” or “Bad Leaver” (or words of like import)), then for the purposes of the Rules, “Bad Leaver” shall mean (a) such employee’s dismissal or termination that is occasioned by the Company or such Affiliate as a result of (i) insubordination, dishonesty, fraud, incompetence, moral turpitude or wilful misconduct of the Participant, (ii) the Participant’s refusal to perform his or her duties or responsibilities for any reason other than illness or incapacity, or (iii) materially unsatisfactory performance of the Participant’s duties for the Company or such Affiliate, in each case as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, or (b) an employee’s voluntary resignation where circumstances exist in which the Company or such Affiliate would have been entitled to dismiss the Participant as a “Bad Leaver” in accordance with this Rule 6.5(b)(i); or

8

(ii) in the case where there is an employment agreement, change in control agreement or similar agreement in effect between the Company or such Affiliate and the Participant that defines “cause” or “Bad Leaver” (or words of like import) on the date of grant, then for the purposes of the Rules, “Bad Leaver” shall mean “cause” or “Bad Leaver” (or words of like import) as defined under such agreement, provided, however, that with regard to any agreement under which the definition of “cause” or “Bad Leaver” (or words of like import) only applies on occurrence of a change in control, such definition of “cause” or “Bad Leaver” (or words of like import) shall not apply until a change in control actually takes place and then only with regard to a termination thereafter.

7. MANNER OF EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

7.1 Subject to Rule 7.2, an 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 such form as the Board may from time to time prescribe, duly executed in accordance with the instructions in such notice;

(c) payment (in such manner as the Board shall direct, to include, but not to be limited to, an undertaking to pay) of a sum equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Plan Shares in relation to which the Option is then being exercised, together with an amount equal to that required to be paid pursuant to Rule 7.2(b);

(d) in respect of an exercise of an Option in the circumstances set out in Rule 9.1, a duly executed power of attorney in the form provided by the Company on grant of the Option appointing the Company as the Participant’s attorney to execute documents on behalf of the Participant to give effect to the transfer of the Plan Shares the Participant would hold following the exercise of such Option PROVIDED ALWAYS THAT if the relevant Qualifying Proposed Sale has not completed within 60 days of the date on which the Drag Along Notice is delivered to the Company pursuant to Schedule 1 or the date on which a copy of the relevant offer to the Participants pursuant to Schedule 1 is delivered to the Company, as the case may be, then the Company shall return to the Participants the documents referred to in Rules 7.1(a) and 7.1(b) and the payment referred to in Rule 7.1(c) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Option shall be deemed not to have been exercised;

(e) an election under section 431 of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, or an election or other form of documentation designed to achieve a similar effect under the laws of any other relevant jurisdiction (including for the avoidance of doubt an election under Section 83(b) of the Code) in each case in such form as the Board my prescribe.

9

7.2 The exercise of an Option by a Participant under Rule 7.1 shall, unless the Board in its absolute discretion determines otherwise, be conditional upon:

(a) the Option having vested in accordance with the Vesting Terms;

(b) agreement being reached between the Company and the Participant as to the amount, or their best estimate of the amount, of the Option Tax Liability;

(c) payment of the estimate or amount of the Option Tax Liability or arrangements which are satisfactory to the Company for the payment by the Participant of the Option Tax Liability whether in cash or by deduction from cash payments otherwise to be made to the Participant or by the withholding of Plan Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant on the exercise of the Option equal in value to the amount of the Option Tax Liability; and

(d) [Intentionally deleted]

(e) either of the following conditions being satisfied within one month of the date on which the notice of exercise of that Option was lodged in accordance with Rule 7.1(b) where any Member of the Group would be liable for Employer’s NICs in respect of that exercise:

(i) the Participant entering into an agreement with the Company, in such form as determined by the Board, for the transfer to the Participant of the whole or any part of the Employer’s NICs due on the exercise of that Option; or

(iii) 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:

(A) in the event that either condition is satisfied within that one-month period, the date of exercise of the Option shall be the date on which that condition is satisfied; or

(B) in the event that neither condition is satisfied within that one-month period, the exercise of the Option under Rule 7.1 shall not be effective; or

(C) in the event that the Board waives the requirement for either condition to be satisfied, the date of exercise of the Option shall be the date of the waiver.

7.3 Subject to the obtaining of any necessary regulatory consents, the Board shall within 30 days of the exercise of any Option cause the Company to allot and issue or procure

10

the transfer of the relevant Plan Shares and send or cause to be sent to the Participant who has exercised the Option a share certificate for the Plan Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised provided such allotment or transfer is lawful.

7.4 In the event that the number of vested Plan Shares would give rise to an entitlement to a fraction of a Plan Share, the number of Plan Shares so vested shall be rounded downwards to the nearest whole number of Plan Shares, or rounded upwards if the entitlement to a fraction of a Plan Share would otherwise have been an entitlement to one half of one Plan Share.

7.5 Plan Shares issued pursuant to the Plan will rank pari passu in all respects with the Ordinary Shares then already in issue except that they and any Plan Shares transferred pursuant to the Plan 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.

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

8. ALTERATIONS OF SHARE CAPITAL

8.1 In the event of 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, then the number and the nominal value of Plan 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 Plan Shares have been allotted or transferred pursuant to such exercise, the number of Plan 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 in its absolute discretion determine to be appropriate.

8.2 No adjustment under Rule 8.1 shall be made which would reduce the Exercise Price of any Option to subscribe for Plan Shares below the nominal value of a Plan 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 Plan 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.

8.3 The Board shall notify Participants in such manner as it thinks fit of any adjustment made under Rule 8.1 and may call in, cancel, endorse, issue or re-issue any Option Certificate as a result of any such adjustment.

8.4 Any adjustment made to an option under Rule 8.1 shall be intended not to subject the Option to Section 409A of the Code.

11

9. SALE AND LIQUIDATION

9.1 In the event of a Qualifying Proposed Sale, a Subsisting Option shall be exercisable in full (but only to the extent that the Option has not lapsed) from the date on which either (a) the Drag Along Notice is delivered to the Company pursuant to paragraph 1.1 of Schedule 1 (in the case of a proposed sale by Initiating Shareholders to a third party in accordance with paragraph 1.1 of Schedule 1) or (b) a copy of the offer(s) to the Participants pursuant to paragraph 2.4 of Schedule 1 is delivered to the Company or the day the offer should have been made pursuant to paragraph 2.1 of Schedule 1 (in the case of a sale to a third party purchaser in accordance with paragraph 2 of Schedule 1) until completion of the relevant sale under (a) or (b) above (as the case may be).

(b) the offer(s) (in the case of Rule 9.1(b)).

The Participants shall be Non-Initiating Shareholders and shall be bound to transfer their Plan Shares to the proposed transferee as provided for in paragraph 1.1 of Schedule 1 if they exercise their Options pursuant to Rule 9.1. The proposed transferee shall be entitled to enforce this right or benefit against the Participants in accordance with the U.K. Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 provided that no amendment, variation or termination of the Plan (whether or not affecting such right or benefit) shall require the consent of the transferee nor shall such transferee be entitled to veto any amendment, variation or termination of the Plan.

9.3 If the Court sanctions a compromise or arrangement under section 99 of the Bermuda Companies Act 1981 in respect of the Company (other than for the purpose of a restructuring), any Subsisting Option may (notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan) be exercised in full (but only to the extent that the Option has not lapsed) within 60 days of the Court sanctioning the compromise or arrangement, provided that the notice of exercise given in accordance with Rule 7.1(b) has been received by the Company within 30 days of the Court’s sanction.

9.6 The exercise of an Option pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Rule 9 shall be subject to the provisions of Rule 7.

12

10. EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS

10.1 The Plan shall not form part of any contract of employment between any Member of the Group 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 Member of the Group shall not be affected by his participation in the Plan or any right which he may have to participate therein.

10.2 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 any additional or other rights to compensation or damages;

(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.

10.3 No individual shall have any claim against a Member of the Group arising out of his not being admitted to participation in the Plan which (for the avoidance of all, if any, doubt) is entirely within the discretion of the Board.

10.4 No Participant shall be entitled to claim compensation from any Member of the Group in respect of any sums paid by him pursuant to the Plan or for any diminution or extinction of his rights or benefits (actual or otherwise) under any Option held by him consequent upon the lapse for any reason of any Option held by him or otherwise in connection with the Plan and each Member of the Group shall be entirely free to conduct its affairs as it sees fit without regard to any consequences under, upon or in relation to the Plan or any Option or Participant.

11. ADMINISTRATION AND AMENDMENT

11.1 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 no deletion, amendment or addition shall operate to affect adversely in any way any rights already acquired by a Participant under the Plan without the approval of such number of the affected Participants as would be required to amend the Bye-laws with respect to the terms of the Plan Shares on the assumption that the affected Participants constitute the sole shareholders of the Company.

13

1. Drag Along

1.1 If the holders of more than 75 per cent. in number of the Ordinary Shares in issue (“Initiating Shareholders”) propose to sell in a bona fide, arm’s-length transaction a number of Ordinary Shares in the Company representing more than 75 per cent. in number of the Ordinary Shares in issue to a third party at Fair Value (in accordance with paragraph 3 of this Schedule 1) representing a value of the Company equal to or exceeding US$50 million (a “Qualifying Proposed Sale”), such Initiating Shareholders shall, subject to the conditions contained in paragraphs 1.2 and 1.3 of this Schedule 1, have the right to require all of the Participants (the “Non-Initiating Shareholders”) to transfer all of their Ordinary Shares (or, in respect of any Participants, any Plan Shares to which he will become entitled on exercise by him of any Subsisting Options pursuant to the Rules) to the proposed transferee within five business days (or such later date as may be specified in the notice) of receiving a notice in writing signed by or on behalf of the Initiating Shareholders (the “Drag Along Notice”). On service of the Drag Along Notice each Non-Initiating Shareholder shall (i) consent to, vote in favour of and raise no objections against such Qualifying Proposed Sale (including exercising any rights of appraisal, dissenters rights or similar rights), (ii) take all necessary and desirable actions in their capacities as shareholders of the Company in connection with the consummation of such Qualifying Proposed Sale, and (iii) agree to sell all of their Ordinary Shares on the same terms and conditions as the Initiating Shareholders.

1.4 If a Non-Initiating Shareholder defaults in transferring its Ordinary Shares pursuant to this paragraph 1 of this Schedule 1, such Non-Initiating Shareholder shall be deemed to have authorised the Company as his or its agent to execute a transfer of that Non-Initiating Shareholder’s Ordinary Shares to the proposed transferee.
