**EXHIBIT 10.15****INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT**     This Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of October 24, 2007, by and betweenPzena Investment Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (along with any entities referred to inSection 2(c) below, the “Company”), and Richard P.Meyerowich (“Director”).**RECITALS**     **WHEREAS**, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve publicly-heldcorporations as directors or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protectionthrough insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actionsagainst them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the corporation.     **WHEREAS**, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that, in order toattract and retain qualified individuals as members of the Board, the Company will attempt tomaintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons servingthe Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities. Although the furnishing of suchinsurance has been a customary and widespread practice among United States based corporations andother business enterprises, such insurance may be available to it in the future only at higherpremiums and with more exclusions. At the same time, directors are being increasingly subjected toexpensive and time-consuming litigation relating to the business and affairs of corporations. TheCompany recognizes that the cost of defending and otherwise participating in such litigation is fargreater than the financial benefits of serving as a Director. Article Seventh of the Certificateof Incorporation of the Company, as in effect on the date hereof, and the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law (“DGCL”) expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth thereinare not exclusive and contemplate that agreements may be entered into between the Company andmembers of the Board (or parties serving at the request of the Board) with respect toindemnification;     **WHEREAS**, the uncertainties relating to insurance have increased the difficulty of attractingand retaining directors;     **WHEREAS**, the Board has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retainingdirectors is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s stockholders;     **WHEREAS**, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligateitself to indemnify, and to pay expenses on behalf of, directors to the fullest extent permitted byapplicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concernthat they will not be so indemnified;     **WHEREAS**, this Agreement is in furtherance of the Amended and Restated Certificate ofIncorporation of the Company, its Amended and Restated Bylaws and any resolutions adopted pursuantthereto, and the DGCL, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogateany rights of Director thereunder;

Such determinationshall be made in the following manner: (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred and theDirector is not a director at the time of such determination, by Independent Counsel in a writtenopinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Director; and (ii) in any othercircumstance: (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorumof the Board, (B) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of theDisinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, (C) if there are no suchDisinterested Directors or, if such Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in awritten opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Director or (D) if so directedby the Board, by the stockholders of the

Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred byDirector in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall beborne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Director’s entitlement toindemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Director harmless therefrom.     (b) In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made byIndependent Counsel pursuant to Section 10(a) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected asprovided in this Section 10(b).

The objection must also include a proposedsubstitute Independent Counsel. If objection including a proposed substituted Independent Counselis timely made, such substituted Independent Counsel shall serve as Independent Counsel unlessobjected to within ten (10) days.

designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person soappointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 10(a) hereof.**11.****Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings****.**     (a) The submission of the Application for Indemnification to the Board shall create arebuttable presumption that the Director is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, andthe Board, Independent Counsel, or stockholders, as the case may be, may, at any time, specificallydetermine that the Director is so entitled, unless it or they possess sufficient evidence to rebutthe presumption that Director has met the applicable standard of conduct. If a determination shallhave been made pursuant to this Agreement that Director is entitled to indemnification, the Companyshall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 12,absent (i) a misstatement by Director of a material fact, or an omission of a material factnecessary to make Director’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the requestfor indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law. Neitherthe failure of the Company (including by its directors or Independent Counsel) to have made adetermination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement thatindemnification is proper in the circumstances because Director has met the applicable standard ofconduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or IndependentCounsel) that Director has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to theaction or create a presumption that Director has not met the applicable standard of conduct.Moreover, the fact that the Company has paid the Director’s Expenses pursuant to Section 9 hereinshall not create a presumption that Director has met the applicable standard of conduct forindemnification.     (b) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment,order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not(except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right ofDirector to indemnification or create a presumption that Director did not act in good faith and ina manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Companyor, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Director had reasonable cause to believe that hisconduct was unlawful.     (c) For purposes of any determination of good faith, Director shall be deemed to have acted ingood faith if Director’s action is based on the advice of legal counsel for the Company or oninformation or records given or reports made to the Company by an independent certified publicaccountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company. Theprovisions of this Section 11(d) shall not be deemed exclusive or to limit in any way the othercircumstances in which the Director may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conductset forth in this Agreement.     (d) To the extent legally permissible, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of anydirector, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Director forpurposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.

(d) The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commencedpursuant to this Section that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid,binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all theprovisions of this Agreement. The Company shall indemnify Director against any and all Expensesand, if requested by Director, shall (within **thirty (30)**days after receipt by the Company of awritten request therefore) pay such Expenses to Director, which are incurred by Director inconnection with any action brought by Director for indemnification or payment of Expenses from theCompany under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policiesmaintained by the Company, regardless of whether Director ultimately is determined to be entitledto such indemnification, payment of Expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be.**13.****Non-exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation****.**     (a) The rights of indemnification and to receive payment of Expenses as provided by thisAgreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Director may at any time beentitled under applicable law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s Bylaws,any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise.

Among other considerations, the Company willweigh the costs of obtaining such insurance coverage against the protection afforded by suchcoverage.
