RESTRICTED SHARE AGREEMENT 

 
  

 
 On this, the 28th day of February 2014 (the
“Grant Date”), ICG Group, Inc. (“ICG”), a Delaware corporation (together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Internet Capital Group Operations, Inc., the “Company”), hereby grants to [—] (“Grantee”) a Restricted Share Award (the “Award”) of [—] shares of common stock of ICG (the
“Shares”), subject to the restrictions below and pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the ICG Fifth Amended and Restated 2005 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms used
but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan. 
 1. Time-Based Vesting and
Term. Provided that Grantee is then, and has remained at all times since the Grant Date, an employee of the Company, [12.5% OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SHARES] of the Shares shall vest on February 28th of each of 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, provided
that if such day is not a business day, such Shares shall vest on the first business day following such day. 
 2. Performance-Based
Vesting. 
 (a) The vesting of [50% OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SHARES] of the Shares (the “Performance Shares”) is
contingent upon ICG’s achievement of certain 45-trading day volume weighted average stock price targets (each a “VWAP Target”) on or prior to February 28, 2018 and, subject to Paragraph 2(b) shall vest as follows: 

(i) [12.5% OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SHARES] Performance Shares shall vest on the first business day following the achievement of
a VWAP Target of $28.07; 
 (ii) [12.5% OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SHARES] Performance Shares shall vest on the first business
day following the achievement of a VWAP Target of $30.16; 
 (iii) [12.5% OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SHARES] Performance Shares
shall vest on the first business day following the achievement of a VWAP Target of $32.38; and 
 (iv) [12.5% OF THE TOTAL
NUMBER OF SHARES] Performance Shares shall vest on the first business day following the achievement of a VWAP Target of $34.71. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding the vesting schedule set forth in Paragraph 2(a), if an applicable VWAP Target is achieved on or prior to February 28, 2016, the Performance Shares that are otherwise scheduled to vest on the first business day following the
achievement of such VWAP Target pursuant to Paragraph 2(a) shall, instead, vest as follows: 
 (i) If a VWAP Target is
achieved on or prior to February 28, 2015, 50% of the Performance Shares scheduled to vest on the first business day following such achievement pursuant to Paragraph 2(a) shall vest on February 28, 2015, and the remaining 50% of such
Performance Shares shall vest on February 28, 2016. 







 (ii) If a VWAP Target is achieved between March 1, 2015 and
February 28, 2016, 50% of the Performance Shares scheduled to vest on the first business day following such achievement pursuant to Paragraph 2(a) shall vest as so scheduled, and the remaining 50% of such Performance Shares shall vest on
February 28, 2016. 
 (iii) If any specified vesting date set forth in Paragraph 2(b) is not a business day, then the
applicable vesting shall occur on the first business day following such date. 
 3. Non-Transferability of Award. Grantee may not
assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Shares prior to vesting. Any attempt to assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the unvested Shares contrary to the provisions hereof, and the levy of any execution, attachment or similar
process upon the unvested Shares, shall be null and void and without effect. 
 4. Right to Vote and to Receive Dividends. Grantee
shall have the right to vote unvested Shares and receive any dividends or other distributions paid on unvested Shares, provided that such Shares have not been forfeited. In the event of a dividend or distribution payable in stock or other property,
reclassification, stock split or similar event during the period in which the Shares are unvested, the shares or other property issued or delivered with respect to the unvested Shares shall be subject to the same terms and conditions relating to
vesting, forfeiture and non-transferability as the Shares to which they relate. 
 5. Forfeiture of Shares. Subject to the
acceleration provisions of Paragraph 6, if (a) Grantee incurs a Termination of Service (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) for any reason before the Shares are fully vested, then any of the Shares that are not then
vested shall be automatically forfeited and must be immediately returned to the Company and/or (b) any of the Performance Shares have not vested on or prior to February 28, 2018, then any of the Performance Shares that are not then vested
shall be automatically forfeited and must be immediately returned to the Company. In addition, if the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) determines, in good faith, that Grantee has breached any non-compete,
non-solicitation or confidentiality agreement with the Company at any time, Grantee shall immediately forfeit all unvested Shares and all vested Shares, and all Shares must be immediately returned to the Company. 

6. Change of Control. 

(a) If a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) is consummated on or prior to February 28, 2018 and, in connection
with such Change of Control, Grantee is terminated without Cause (as defined below) or leaves as a result of Good Reason (as defined below), then all of the Shares not then vested shall become fully vested. In addition, the Committee shall have the
discretion to accelerate the vesting of any Shares, in whole or in part, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, regardless of whether the Grantee is terminated without Cause or leaves for Good Reason. 

(b) For purposes of this Agreement: 

(i) “Cause” means a finding by the Committee that (A) Grantee has breached any employment, service,
noncompetition, nonsolicitation, confidentiality or other similar contract between Grantee and the Company or (B) Grantee has engaged in disloyalty to the Company, including, without limitation, fraud, embezzlement, theft, commission of a
felony or dishonesty in the course of Grantee’s employment or service.

a location more than 50 miles away from the existing location. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 6 to the
contrary, (i) in the event of any substantive conflict between the definitions of “Cause” and/or “Good Reason” set forth herein and those set forth in a written employment agreement between the Grantee and the Company, the
definition(s) set forth in such employment agreement shall control, and (ii) in the event of any substantive conflict between the definition of “Change of Control” contained herein and that set forth in a written employment agreement
between the Grantee and the Company, the definition set forth herein shall control. 
 7. Incorporation by Reference; Definitions.
This Award shall be subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Paragraph 6, in the event of any contradiction, distinction or difference between this Award Agreement and the
terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. Except as otherwise defined in this Award Agreement, the terms used in this Award Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan. The Award is subject to the interpretations,
regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (a) rights and obligations with respect to

and construe the Award pursuant to the terms of the Plan, its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder, and Grantee’s acceptance of this Award is Grantee’s agreement to be bound by the interpretations and
decisions of the Committee with respect to this Award and the Plan. 
 8. Issuance of Certificates. The Company shall hold
non-certificated shares until the Shares vest. When Grantee obtains a vested right to the Shares, the vested Shares shall be issued to Grantee in electronic form, free of the restrictions set forth in this Restricted Share Agreement. 

9. Withholding. Grantee is required to pay to the Company, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company to provide for the
payment of, any federal, state, local or other taxes that the Company is required to withhold with respect to the grant or vesting of this Award. Subject to Committee approval, Grantee may elect to satisfy any tax withholding obligation of the
Company with respect to this Award by having shares withheld up to an amount that does not exceed the minimum applicable withholding tax rate for federal (including FICA), state, local and other tax liabilities. 

10. No Employment or Other Rights. This Award shall not confer upon Grantee any right to be retained by or in the employ or service of
the Company or its parent or subsidiaries, and shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Company or its parent or subsidiaries to terminate Grantee’s employment or service at any time. The right of the Company or its parent or
subsidiaries to terminate at will Grantee’s employment or service at any time for any reason is specifically reserved. 
 11.
