R E C I T A L S

A. The Company has established and maintains the BATS Global Markets, Inc. 2009 Stock Option Plan (“Plan”) in order to attract and retain outstanding individuals to serve as officers, Directors, or employees of the Company and its Affiliates and to increase stockholder value by granting Nonstatutory Stock Options to certain Directors, officers, and employees of the Company and its Affiliates.

B. Optionee is an Eligible Associate under the terms of the Plan and has been granted an Option under the Plan to purchase shares of the common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), subject to Optionee entering into this Agreement.

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

1. Definitions.

(a) Initially capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meaning given to such terms in the Plan, except as expressly otherwise herein provided.

(b) With respect to Option grants to a Director, references herein to “employment” shall be deemed to refer to such person’s “service relationship” with the Company or a Subsidiary.

2. Grant of Option. The Company, pursuant to the Plan, hereby grants to Optionee an option (as described on the signature page attached hereto) (the “Option”) to purchase all or any part of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company set forth on the signature page hereof (“Option Shares”) at the Option Price per share set forth on the signature page hereof, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and further subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. The Option is not intended to be an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

3. Terms and Conditions of Grant.

(a) Vesting. The Option shall vest and become exercisable in accordance the vesting schedule set forth on the signature page hereto. In accordance with Section 8 of the Plan, the Option to the extent in effect but not previously vested shall fully vest on the first anniversary of the effectiveness of a registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Registration”) of any Common Stock of the Company pursuant to a plan for the initial public

offering of Common Stock. To the extent so provided on the signature page hereto, vesting of the Option may also be accelerated in the event there is a Change in Control with respect to the Company. The Option will cease to be exercisable following termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service as described in Section 4.

(b) Term of Option. The term of the Option shall expire at 11:59 p.m. Central Time on the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Grant Date, unless terminated earlier in accordance herewith. In no event, may any portion of the Option be exercised after it has expired.

(c) Manner of Exercise. Optionee may, subject to the limitations in this Agreement and the Plan, exercise all or any portion of the Option that has vested. In order to exercise the Option, Optionee shall deliver to the Company a written notice specifying the number of Option Shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment in full of the entire Option Price with respect to such Option Shares and an amount equal to the aggregate minimum federal, state and local income and employment taxes which the Company is obligated to withhold and deposit on behalf of Optionee with respect to such exercise (“Withholding Obligation”). The Committee may, in its discretion, permit Optionee to pay all or part of the Option Price or Withholding Obligation of Optionee by delivering to the Company for cancellation, Option Shares or an unexercised, but then exercisable, portion of the Option to purchase Option Shares, provided that only whole Option Shares (or a portion of the Option representing only whole Option Shares) may be so used for payment of the Withholding Obligation and any portion of the Withholding Obligation which can not be satisfied with whole Option Shares (or a portion of the Option representing only whole Option Shares) must be paid in cash. No portion of the Option may be exercised after it has expired pursuant to Section 3(b) above or the termination of Optionee’s rights with respect to the Option pursuant to Section 4 below.

(d) Adjustment in Capitalization. In the event of any stock dividend or extraordinary cash dividend or other distribution (in whatever form), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event which affects the Common Stock, the Committee shall adjust the terms of this Agreement and the Option, to the extent necessary, in its sole discretion, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or this Agreement. In no event shall the Committee adjust the terms of this Agreement or the Option in a manner which would cause the Option to be subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

4. Exercise in Event of Death or Termination of Employment.

(a) Termination of Employment. For purposes of this Agreement, Optionee’s Continuous Service shall be deemed to have terminated at the close of business on the day immediately before the first day on which Optionee has a separation of service for purposes of Section 409A of the Code with respect to the Company or all Affiliates for any reason. An Optionee shall not be deemed to have incurred a separation of service to the extent that Optionee is on military leave, sick leave or a bona fide leave of absence for a period not to exceed six months, provided there is a reasonable expectation that Optionee will return to perform services

for the Company or an Affiliate following such leave of absence. If Optionee’s employment terminates, but the Company reasonably anticipates that Optionee will continue to provide services to the Company or an Affiliate, either as an employee or independent contractor at a level that is more than twenty percent (20%) of the average level of services provided by Optionee over the preceding 36 months, Optionee shall not be deemed to have had a separation from service. If Optionee is providing services to the Company other than as an employee, for purposes of this Agreement, Optionee’s shall be deemed to have separated from service when there is a good faith complete termination of all service relationships between Optionee and the Company and all Affiliates and no renewal of the service relationship is anticipated.

(b) Exercise Following Termination of Employment. Subject to paragraph (d) below, if Optionee’s employment terminates for any reason other than Death or Disability, the Option held by Optionee at the time of such termination of employment may be exercised at any time which is both before the time such Option would otherwise expire and within ninety (90) days of the date of such termination or within such extended exercise period as the Committee may determine at the time of such termination, provided that such extended period shall not extend beyond the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the termination of Service or (ii) the time the option would otherwise expire, but only with respect to the portion of the Option which was exercisable on the date of Optionee’s termination of employment. To the extent such Option was not exercisable on the date of Optionee’s termination of employment, such portion of the Option shall terminate.

(c) Death or Disability. Subject to paragraph (d) below, if Optionee dies while employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, the Option held by Optionee at the time of death may be exercised by Optionee’s estate or the person to whom such Option is transferred by will or the applicable law of descent and distribution, with respect to all or any part of the Option which was exercisable by Optionee immediately prior to his or her death, at any time which is both before the time such Option would otherwise expire and the one (1) year anniversary of the date of death. If Optionee’s employment is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary as a consequence of his or her Disability, any Option held by Optionee at the time of such termination may be exercised by Optionee at any time which is both before the time such Option would otherwise expire and prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the date his or her employment terminated or within such extended exercise period as the Committee may determine at the time of such termination, provided that such extended period shall not extend beyond the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the termination of Service or (ii) the time the option would otherwise expire, but only with respect to the portion of the Option which was exercisable on the date of Optionee’s termination of employment.

(d) Right to Cash Out Option. In the event an Option is exercised following the date the Optionee’s employment terminates, in lieu of delivering option shares to the Optionee following such exercise, the Company may, in its sole discretion, fully discharge its obligations under the Option with respect to such exercise by making a cash payment to the Optionee in an amount equal to the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the option shares on the date of exercise over the sum of the exercise price for such shares and the Withholding Obligation.
