NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.    Grant of Award. The grant of this Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Award”) is subject to the Terms and Conditions hereinafter set forth with respect to the Units covered by this Award.

Upon grant of the Award, no stock or other certificate representing said Units or the shares of Stock represented thereby will be issued to or registered in the name of the Employee. The ultimate receipt of the shares of Stock by the Employee and payment of cash equal to the value of the Dividend Equivalents thereon is contingent upon requirements set forth herein.

The Employee does not have an absolute right to receive a fixed or determinable amount at the inception of the “Award Period”, which refers to the period beginning on the Award Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Award Date.

2.    Award Acceptance. To be entitled to any payment under this Award, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Employee must accept and thereby agree to comply with these Terms and Conditions, including all applicable addenda, which are incorporated herein and constitute a material and integral part of these Terms and Conditions:

(a)    Post-Employment Obligations for Protection of Company Interests. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that additional terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement applicable to the Employee in Attachment A (the “S&P Global Agreements for the Protection of Company Interests”), which is the one that applies to the country or Commonwealth in which the Employee is employed at the time the Employee accepts the Award, are hereby incorporated into, and are part of, the Terms and Conditions for the Award.

The    Employee    acknowledges    that    the    Employee    has    reviewed    and understands the terms of the applicable section of Attachment A, and that, by accepting these Terms and Conditions in consideration of the Award, the Employee is accepting the terms in the applicable section of Attachment A, including all non-competition, non-solicitation of clients, non-solicitation of employees and confidentiality provisions therein.

(b)    Non-US Country Addendum. By accepting these Terms and Conditions, and notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary herein, the Employee further acknowledges and agrees that the Award shall also be subject to any other special terms and conditions applicable to the Employee’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different) set forth in Attachment B (the “Non-U.S. Country Addendum”), which are hereby incorporated into, and are part of, the Terms and Conditions for the Award with respect to any Employee who resides and/or is primarily employed in a country located outside the United States (a “Non-U.S. Employee”).

Moreover, if the Employee transfers his or her residence and/or primary country of employment to another country reflected in Attachment B after the Award Date, the terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Employee to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law, rules and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the Award or the Plan (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Employee’s transfer).

The    Employee    acknowledges    that    the    Employee    has    reviewed    and understands the terms of the applicable section of Attachment B, and that, by accepting these Terms and Conditions in consideration of the Award, the Employee is accepting the terms in the applicable section of Attachment B.

3.    Time Period to Accept Award. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Employee has up to ninety (90) days to accept these Terms and Conditions from the date the Terms and Conditions are first made available to the Employee on the website maintained by the Company’s equity administrator (the “Website”). The Employee further acknowledges and agrees that failure to timely accept these Terms and Conditions during the 90-day acceptance period will result in the forfeiture of this Award in its entirety and without exception effective immediately.

4.    Electronic Acceptance. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that he or she is accepting the Award by electronic means and that such electronic acceptance constitutes the Employee’s agreement to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, including all provisions of the addenda set forth in Attachments A and B applicable to the Employee.

By accepting the Award, the Employee consents to receive any documents related to participation in the Plan and the Award by electronic delivery and to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system, including the Website, established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company. The Employee also acknowledges that as of the Award Date, the Terms and Conditions set forth the entire understanding between the Employee and the Company regarding the Employee’s acquisition of the Units and any underlying shares of Stock and supersede all prior oral and written agreements on that subject, with the exception of Awards previously granted and delivered to Participant under the Plan.

5.    Vesting Period Restrictions.    The restrictions on the Units covered by this Award shall lapse and such Units shall vest in full on the third anniversary of the Award Date (the “Vesting Date”), following completion of the mandatory restriction period beginning on the Award Date and ending on the day prior to the Vesting Date (the “Vesting Period”); provided that the Employee remains an employee of the Company during the entire Vesting Period.

6.    Distribution Following Vesting Period. If the Employee remains an employee of the Company through the last day of the applicable Vesting Period, the Units vesting on the Vesting Date, together with any Dividend Equivalents earned thereon (as determined in accordance with Section 9 hereof), shall be paid to the Employee on a date (the “Payment Date”) (a) no later

than the end of the month following the month during which the Units vest and the restrictions lapse, with respect to U.S. Employees, or (b) as soon as reasonably practicable following the month during which the Units vest and the restrictions lapse, with respect to Non-U.S. Employees. The Units payable to the Employee as of the Vesting Date shall be converted into shares of Stock and such shares shall be delivered to the Employee on the applicable Payment Date. Any Dividend Equivalents that have been earned with respect to such shares shall be paid in cash.

Before payment is made to the Employee, the Company shall be entitled to withhold all applicable Federal, state and local income taxes. The Company shall be entitled to hold back a sufficient number of the shares and cash which would otherwise be delivered to the Employee to satisfy such required withholding obligation.

In the event, however, that the Company does not withhold applicable taxes, the Employee shall indemnify the Company for any loss sustained by the Company from the failure to satisfy such withholding obligations, and the Employee shall, upon request, provide the Company with satisfactory evidence that the Employee has satisfied such obligations.

7.    Termination of Employment Prior to Vesting Date. In the event of the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company prior to the end of the Vesting Period due to Normal Retirement, Early Retirement, Disability (each as defined under the Company’s applicable retirement or disability plans) or death, the Employee shall be eligible to vest in a pro rata portion of the unvested Units underlying the Award. In the event of the Employee’s termination of employment by the Company other than for Cause, with the approval of the Committee or its delegate, the Employee shall continue to vest in any portion of the Award that would otherwise vest prior to the end of any period in respect of which the Employee receives Separation Pay, as defined in the severance program in which the Employee participates (such period, the “Separation Period”), and the Employee shall be eligible to receive payment of a pro rata portion of the Award; provided, however, that such continued vesting during the Separation Period and payment of the pro rata portion shall be subject to the Employee’s execution and non- revocation of a release in a form to be provided by the Company (the “Release”), releasing the Company and its affiliates and certain other persons and entities from certain claims and other liabilities, which Release must be effective and irrevocable within the time specified in the Release.

Except as provided in Section 8 hereof, in the event the Employee voluntarily resigns his or her employment with the Company or is involuntarily terminated by the Company for Cause prior to the Vesting Date, the Employee shall forfeit all rights to the unvested Units subject to the Award and any Dividend Equivalents with respect to such Units.

(a)    Determination of Pro Rata Award Opportunity. The pro rata portion of the Award to be received by the Employee, if he or she terminates because of Normal Retirement, Early Retirement, Disability (each as defined under the Company’s applicable retirement or disability plans), or death, shall be determined by multiplying the number of the unvested Units of the Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar days during the Award Period for which the Employee was employed, and the denominator of which is the number of full calendar days during the Award Period.

The pro rata portion of the Award to be received by the Employee if he or she terminates, with the approval of the Committee or its delegate, in connection with a termination by the Company other than for Cause, shall be determined as of the end of the Separation Period by multiplying the number of the unvested Units of the Award at such time by a fraction, the numerator of

which is the number of full calendar days during the Award Period occurring prior to the end of the Separation Period, and the denominator of which is the number of full calendar days during the Award Period, reduced by the number of full calendar days during the Award Period.

(b)    Distribution of Pro Rata Award.

(i)    Termination Other Than for Death. In the event of the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company prior to the end of the Vesting Period other than for death (including, without limitation, Normal Retirement, Early Retirement, Disability (each as defined under the Company’s applicable retirement or disability plans), or other than for Cause), the Employee’s pro rata portion of the Award otherwise determined to have matured shall be delivered to the Employee on the regularly scheduled Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a termination by the Company other than for Cause, if the Employee does not execute a Release or a Release does not become effective and irrevocable in its entirety prior to the expiration of the time specified in the Release, the Employee shall not be entitled to any payments pursuant to this Section 7.

(ii)    Termination for Death. In the event of the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company prior to the end of the Vesting Period due to death, the Employee’s pro rata portion of the Award shall be delivered to the beneficiary designated by the Employee (or if the Employee has not designated a beneficiary, to the representative of the Employee’s estate) within sixty (60) days following the date of the Employee’s death, or where additional time is needed for administrative reasons, at such later time as is permitted under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

8.    Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, as that term is defined under Section 11 of the Plan, prior to the end of the Vesting Period of the Award, to the extent the successor company (or a subsidiary or parent thereof) does not assume or provide a substitute for the Award on substantially the same terms and conditions, the Award shall become unrestricted and fully vested and the Units that become so vested shall be distributed pursuant to Section 6 on the regularly scheduled Payment Date. To the extent the successor company (or a subsidiary or parent thereof) assumes or provides a substitute for the Award on substantially the same terms and conditions, the existing vesting schedule will continue to apply, provided, however, that, if within twenty-four (24) months following the date of a Change in Control, the Employee’s employment with the Company or successor company (or a subsidiary or parent thereof), as applicable, is terminated without Cause or due to Normal Retirement, Early Retirement, Disability (each as defined under the Company’s applicable retirement or disability plans), or death, the Award shall become unrestricted and fully vested and distributed (x) pursuant to Section 6 on the regularly scheduled Payment Date or (y) in the case of the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company or successor company (or a subsidiary or parent thereof), as applicable, due to death, within sixty (60) days following the date of the Employee’s death to the beneficiary designated by the Employee (or if the Employee has not designated a beneficiary, to the representative of the Employee’s estate), or where additional time is needed for administrative reasons, at such later time as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code.

9.    Voting and Dividend Rights. Prior to the delivery of any shares of Stock covered by this Award, the Employee shall not have the right to vote or to receive any dividends with respect to such shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividend equivalents will be earned on Units underlying the Award for the period beginning on the Award Date and ending on the last day of the Vesting Period applicable to the Units (or, if applicable, the date of payment in accordance

with Section 7(b)(ii) hereof), which Dividend Equivalents shall be paid in cash on the Payment Date (or the date of payment in accordance with Section 7(b)(ii) hereof), subject to the additional requirements set forth in these Terms and Conditions.

10.    Transfer Restrictions. This Award and the Units and Dividend Equivalents are nontransferable (other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution), and may not be transferred, sold, assigned, pledged or hypothecated and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempt to effect any of the foregoing shall be null and void.
