Agreement dated as of November 23, 2011 (the “Agreement”) , which contains provisions affecting the rights and obligations of the holder of the Shares and restrictions upon the transfer of the Shares. Any transfer of the Shares in
violation of that Agreement is null and void. A copy of the Agreement is on file at the principal offices of the company. In addition, the powers of the board of directors of this company were restricted as set forth in the company’s

Subject to Section 5.4, the Company and each Shareholder agree to timely execute and deliver all documents and take all actions required to continue and maintain the Elections and to timely file all tax returns consistent therewith. 

5.2. Shareholders’ Acts. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, at all times while an
Election is effective, no Shareholder (other than Manning) may Transfer any of his Shares if such Transfer would cause the Company or the Shareholders to cease to meet the requirements then applicable for maintaining such Election.

allotted designees to the Board, the 

  
 6

 (a) elect two directors designated by a majority in interest of the heirs or assigns of Manning (the “Manning Heirs”) as a Manning Director; 

(b) remove any Manning Director if requested by a majority in interest of the Manning Heirs, with or without cause; and

 (c) cause any vacancy on the Board caused by the death, resignation, incapacity or removal of a Manning

 (d)
elect four directors who are the individuals who at such time are employees of Manning & Napier Group, LLC (or its subsidiaries) and hold the largest direct and indirect ownership interests in Manning & Napier Group, LLC (the
“Employee-Owner Directors”); provided, however, in the event the fourth largest direct and indirect ownership interest in Manning & Napier Group, LLC is held by more than one individual, then the individual
holding the most senior executive title shall be appointed as an Employee-Owner Director; provided, if such individuals hold identical or equal titles, then the individual with the highest total compensation shall be appointed as an Employee-Owner
Director; provided further, if such individuals hold identical or equal titles and earn identical total compensation, then a majority of the remaining Board shall determine which of such individual shall be elected as an Employee-Owner Director.

 (e) remove any Employee-Owner Director (i) if such Director has committed willful misconduct or gross
negligence in a manner that materially impairs the Company’s financial condition or prospects, (ii) if such Director has continually refused or intentionally failed to perform his or her duties and obligations in some material respect
after reasonable written notice (and reasonable time to cure) of any such refusal or failure to perform such duties or obligations, (iii) if such Director has been convicted of a felony or crime involving moral turpitude, (iv) if such
Director has breached a material obligation under this Agreement, (v) if such Employee-Owner Director is no longer an employee of the Company; or (vi) if such Employee-Owner Director does not hold one of the four largest direct and
indirect ownership interests in Manning & Napier Group, LLC. 
 (f) cause any vacancy created by the
death, disability, retirement, resignation or anything described in (e) above, of an Employee-Owner Director to be filled by an individual then employed by Manning & Napier Group, LLC and holding one of the four largest direct and
indirect ownership interests in Manning & Napier Group, LLC.

tax liability resulting from their ownership of the Shares. 
 (b) Upon a sale of Shares by any Shareholder such Shareholder
shall receive with respect to such Shares a pro rata allocation of the Company’s taxable income or loss for the year of sale based on the number of days such Shares have been held over 365. 

(c) Upon a sale or redemption of Shares by any Shareholder, the Company shall prior to April 15 of the year following such sale
distribute to such Shareholder the Shareholder’s allocable pro rata amount of any distributions made by the Company with respect to the period during which the Shareholder owned the Shares (to the extent not previously distributed to such
Shareholder). 
 6.4. Performance Incentive Committee. 

6.4.1 There shall be established PIC which shall comprise five members for each Shareholder (other than Manning). Manning, Cunningham and
Auspitz shall be the “permanent members” of the PIC; provided, however, that Manning may replace Cunningham or Auspitz in his sole discretion; further provided, however, should Manning not desire or be able to serve on the PIC, then the
“permanent members” shall select his replacement. Manning along with one of the two other permanent members (or the two “permanent members,” if Manning is no longer a member of the PIC) shall select the remaining two individuals
who shall comprise the PIC for each Shareholder (other than Manning). Each member of the PIC shall have one vote and any action by the PIC shall require the affirmative vote of at least three (3) of its members. 

6.4.2 The purpose of the PIC shall be to determine if a Shareholder has met his or her performance criteria for the calendar years 2012,
2013 and 2014 and therefore the Shareholder is eligible to vest as to one-third (1/3) of the Shareholder’s Unvested Performance Shares. In addition, should a Shareholder be determined by the PIC not to have met his or her performance
criteria in either 2012 or 2013 then the PIC shall have the discretion at the end of 2013 or 2014 (as applicable) to determine that such Shareholder should vest with respect to some or all of such previously Unvested Performance Shares. 

  
 10 









 6.4.3 The process of the PIC shall be as follows: 

(a) Prior to each calendar year for which a Shareholder is subject to evaluation by the PIC, 

(i) Prior to November 30 the supervisor or area manager of the Shareholder shall propose criteria related to the performance
expectations of such Shareholder to the PIC. 
 (ii) Prior to December 20 the PIC shall review the proposed criteria,
modify the criteria as it deems appropriate and approves the final criteria for such Shareholder. 
 (iii) Prior to
December 31 the final criteria shall be distributed to the Shareholder and his or her supervisor. 
 (b) After the calendar
year for which a Shareholder is subject to evaluation by the PIC, 
 (i) Prior to January 15 the Shareholder’s
supervisor shall submit to the PIC an evaluation of the Shareholder’s performance (as it pertains to the final criteria established by the PIC) and a recommendation as to whether the Shareholder has met such criteria. 

(ii) Prior to February 15 the PIC shall vote on the supervisors recommendation with a majority of the PIC (3 votes) needed to
approve or reject. If the PIC rejects the supervisor’s recommendation then the PIC shall, by majority vote, adopt its own recommendation. The supervisors recommendation and the votes of the individual members of the PIC shall be available for
review by the affected Shareholder. 
 (iii) Prior to February 21 the Shareholder and his or her supervisor shall be
informed of the PIC’s decision. If the PIC does not notify the Shareholder (taking into account (c) below) of its decision in a timely manner, then it will be assumed that the PIC has approved the vesting of such Shareholder’s
Unvested Performance Shares that were subject to vesting for such calendar year. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any of the dates listed
in (i) and (ii) above the PIC and the supervisor shall be afforded delays of up to two weeks and more time for circumstances beyond their control. 
 6.4.4 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the PIC determines in its review of the 2014 performance of the Shareholders that certain Shares shall remain Unvested Performance
Shares, then such Shares are subject to purchase by a designee of the Company pursuant to Article 8 below. Before authorizing such purchase the PIC shall determine who (which may not be the Company) shall be entitled to purchase such Shares;
provided, however, no member of that Shareholder’s PIC may be so designated. 

  
 11 









 6.5. Interested Shareholders. The Company shall not obtain debt financing in
excess of $500,000 from any Shareholder or any Person related to or affiliated with a Shareholder without the prior written consent of all Shareholders. 
 ARTICLE 7. COMPANY OPTION TO PURCHASE SHARES UNDER 
 CERTAIN
CIRCUMSTANCES 
 7.1. Company Option. In the event that (i) voluntary proceedings by, or involuntary
proceedings against, any Employee are commenced under any provisions of any federal or state law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, (ii) the Shares of any Employee are attached or garnished, (iii) any judgment is obtained in any action
or proceeding against an Employee and the sale of such Employee’s Shares is contemplated under legal process as a result of such judgment, (iv) any execution or other legal process is issued against any Employee or against such
Employee’s Shares, (v) any other form of legal proceedings or process is commenced by which the Shares of an Employee may be Transferred, the Company (or its designee) will have the right, exercisable upon written notice given to such
Employee (the “Involuntary Sale Shareholder”), to purchase all but not less than all of the Involuntary Sale Shareholder’s Shares (the “Involuntary Sale Shares”). The closing of the purchase and sale of the Involuntary Sale
Shares will occur in accordance with Article 14. At such closing, the Involuntary Sale Shareholder shall execute and deliver such instruments as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate such sale. The Company (or its designee; provided, however, if
the payment obligations under the agreement whereby the Employee purchased such Shares have not been fully satisfied then the Company can not assign its rights to a designee) will pay the purchase price set forth in Section 7.2 to the
Involuntary Sale Shareholder upon the payment terms set forth in Section 7.3. 
 7.2. Purchase Price. The
purchase price for the Involuntary Sale Shares which are Unvested Shares will be the lesser of (i) the cost for such shares and (ii) the fair market value of such shares, as determined in the sole discretion of the Board. The purchase
price for the Involuntary Sale Shares which are Vested Shares will be the fair market value of such shares, as determined in the sole discretion of the Board. 
 7.3. Terms of Payment. (a) The purchaser(s) will pay the purchase price for the Involuntary Sale Shares which are Unvested Shares to the Involuntary Sale Shareholder, at
purchaser’s option (i) in cash at the Closing or (ii) over 12 payments, on each of the next 12 Payment Dates (as defined below), beginning on the next Payment Date after the closing of the sale. In addition, if purchaser elects to pay
based on (ii) above, each such payment will include an amount of interest equal to the Stated Rate (prorated for the time the unpaid purchase amount remains unpaid) on the unpaid purchase price; and (b) the purchaser will pay the purchase
price for the Involuntary Sale Shares which are Vested Shares by making 12 payments, on each of the next 12 Payment Dates, beginning on the next Payment Date after the closing of the sale. For purposes of this Agreement the term Payment Date shall
mean the last Business Day of each April, July, October and January. For purposes of this Agreement the term Stated Rate shall mean the sum of (a) the Federal Reserve/Citibase prime rate quoted by Bloomberg L.P. at 11 a.m. (New York City time)
on the immediately preceding Payment Date plus (b) two percent (2%). 

  
 12 









 7.4. Closing. The closing with respect to any purchase and sale of Shares
pursuant to this Article 7 shall be held in accordance with Article 14. 
 ARTICLE 8. COMPANY OPTION TO PURCHASE UNVESTED
SHARES 
 OWNED BY AN EMPLOYEE UPON CERTAIN EVENTS 

8.1. Company Purchase Option. In compliance with Section 6.4.4, a designee of the Company shall have the option to
purchase all or a portion of the Unvested Shares (the “DDR Shares”) owned by each Employee (each a “DDR Selling Shareholder”) (a) on or after February 21, 2015 or (b) earlier, on the date the DDR Selling
Shareholder’s employment is terminated for any reason other than death or Disability. The Company may exercise its option with respect to the DDR Shares by written notice given to the DDR Selling Shareholder or to his Personal Representative.
The Company’s designee will pay the purchase price set forth in Section 8.2 to the DDR Selling Shareholder or to his Personal Representative upon the payment terms set forth in Section 8.3. 

8.2. Purchase Price. The purchase price for the DDR Shares will be the lesser of (i) the cost for such shares and
(ii) the fair market value of such shares, as determined in the sole discretion of the Board. 
 8.3. Terms of
Payment. The purchaser(s) will pay the purchase price for the DDR Shares to the DDR Selling Shareholder, at purchaser’s option (i) in cash at the Closing or (ii) over 12 payments, on each of the next 12 Payment Dates,
beginning on the next Payment Date after the closing of the sale. In addition, if purchaser elects to pay based on (ii) above, each such payment will include an amount of interest equal to the Stated Rate (prorated for the time the unpaid
purchase amount remains unpaid) on the unpaid purchase price. Any sale contemplated by this Section 8.3 shall be pursuant to a purchase agreement reasonably satisfactory to the parties. If the purchase agreement provides for payment over 12
payments, such agreement shall contain language pursuant to which the purchaser shall pledge the Shares he or she purchases as security for the purchaser’s payment obligations under the purchase agreement. 

8.4. The Closing. The closing with respect to any purchase and sale of Shares pursuant to this Article 8 shall be in
accordance with Article 14. 
 ARTICLE 9. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS 

9.1. Vested and Unvested Shares. The term “Vested Shares” means Shares owned by the Employees which are vested
pursuant to Sections 9.1.1, 9.1.2, 9.1.3 and 9.1.4. The term “Unvested Shares” means Shares owned by the Employees which are not Vested Shares. 
 9.1.1 A percentage of the Shares of each Employee shall be Vested Shares upon execution of this Agreement. The percentage that shall vest shall equal the percentage that equals fifteen
(15) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is one hundred (100) and the denominator of which is one hundred less the sum of Manning & Napier Associates, LLC’s, Manning’s and Richard Goldberg’s initial
percentage interest in M&N Group Holdings, LLC. For example, if Manning & Napier Associates, LLC’s, Manning’s and Richard Goldberg’s combined initial percentage interest in M&N Group Holdings, LLC is 10%, then the
percentage 

  
 13 









 
of each Employee’s Shares that shall vest upon the execution of this Agreement shall be 15 x 100/90 = 16.6666666666%. 

9.1.2 A percentage of each Employee’s Unvested Shares (the “Unvested Time Shares”) shall vest on each of December 31,
2012, December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014 provided such Employee is employed on such date by Manning & Napier Group, LLC (or any of its subsidiaries). The percentage that shall vest shall equal the percentage that equals
five (5) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is one hundred (100) and the denominator of which is one hundred less the sum of Manning & Napier Associates, LLC’s, Manning’s and Richard Goldberg’s initial
percentage interest in M&N Group Holdings, LLC. For example, if Manning & Napier Associates, LLC’s, Manning’s and Richard Goldberg’s combined initial percentage interest in M&N Group Holdings, LLC is 10% then the
percentage of each Employee’s Shares that shall vest upon December 31, 2012, December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014 shall be 5 x 100/90 = 5.55555555555%. 

9.1.3 Any Unvested Shares not vested under Section 9.1.1 or subject to vesting under 9.1.2 (the “Unvested Performance
Shares”) shall vest or remain Unvested Shares pursuant to Section 6.4 above. 
 9.1.4 Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of the death of any Shareholder all Shares owned by such Shareholder shall immediately become Vested Shares. 
 9.2. Disability or Disabled. The terms “Disability” and “Disabled” mean such physical or mental disability or incapacity of an individual as, in the sole opinion of the
Board, prevents such individual from discharging his normal service obligations to the Company for an aggregate period of 90 Business Days during any 365-day period. The date of Disability will be the date on which the Board makes the determination
set forth in the preceding sentence. 
 9.3. Personal Representative. The term “Personal Representative”
means the executor or administrator of the estate of a deceased Shareholder, the guardian or other legal representative of a Disabled Shareholder and any other personal or legal representative (by operation of law or otherwise), as the case may be,
of a Shareholder. The Personal Representative of any Shareholder will give the Company prompt notice of his appointment, stating the address at which notices under this Agreement may be given to him. 

ARTICLE 10. COMPANY’S OBLIGATIONS TO PAY FOR SHARES 
 10.1. Insufficient Surplus. If at the time the Company is required to make any payment for any Shares to be purchased by it under this Agreement and the Company’s surplus is legally
insufficient for that purpose, the entire available surplus of the Company shall be applied to the payment, and the Company and the Shareholders shall promptly take all action which may be permitted by law to increase the capital of the Company or
revalue its assets so as to increase its surplus to the extent necessary to permit the payment to be made in full; provided, however, no Shareholder shall be required to make any capital contribution due to the provisions of this Section 10.1
(unless otherwise required by the Board). 

  
 14 









 10.2. Default in Certain Payments by Company. If the Company defaults in
making any payment with respect to its purchase of Shares of any Shareholder, whether at any closing specified herein or under any promissory note issued hereunder, and such default is not in dispute and continues for 90 Business Days after notice
thereof, the Shareholders shall cause the Company to be dissolved and liquidated, and distribution of the assets promptly made. 

ARTICLE 11. VOTING AND OTHER ARRANGEMENTS 
 11.1. General. In consideration of the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement each Shareholder hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints each other Shareholder as his true
and lawful agent, attorney-in-fact and proxy with respect to his Shares for a period coterminous with this Agreement to cause the Shares registered in such Shareholder’s name and any Shares with respect to which he has the power to vote to be
voted in accordance with this Agreement at any and all meetings of the Shareholders or in any written consent in lieu thereof. 

11.2. Limited Authority. The authority granted to the Shareholders pursuant to this Article 11 is limited. No Shareholder
shall have the authority to vote the Shares of another Shareholder (i) with respect to any matter other than those matters contained in this Agreement and (ii) other than in the manner provided herein. 

11.3. Conditional Authority. The authority granted to the Shareholders in this Article 11 is conditioned upon the failure
of a Shareholder to vote his Shares in accordance with this Agreement. The proxy and the authority hereby conferred shall be irrevocable and shall be considered to be coupled with an interest. 

11.4. Votes in Contravention of the Agreement. Any vote cast in contravention of the terms and provisions of this Agreement
by any of the parties hereto shall be of no force or effect. 
 11.5. General. Each of the Shareholders hereby
irrevocably constitutes and appoints each other Shareholder (including any successor to such Shareholder), as the case may be, the true and lawful attorney of such Shareholder, from time to time, to execute, acknowledge, swear to and file any of the
following: 
 11.5.1 Any certificate, schedule or other instrument which may be required to be filed by the Company under the
laws of the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, or of any foreign nation or political subdivisions thereof, including, without limitation, any filing required to be made by the Company under the securities or antitrust laws of
any such jurisdiction; and each Shareholder agrees to provide each other Shareholder with such information as may be necessary to enable any such filing to be made; 
 11.5.2 Any instrument, certificate or other document necessary and appropriate for carrying out the obligations of each such Shareholder set forth in Articles 7, and 8 (including without limitation the
sale by any Shareholder of his or her interest in the Company pursuant to Articles 7 and 8); and 
 11.5.3 All documents which
may be required to effectuate the dissolution, liquidation and termination of the Company. 

  
 15 









 It is expressly acknowledged by each Shareholder that the foregoing power of attorney is
coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. 
 11.6. Power of Attorney for Permitted Transfers; Stock Powers. A
certificate representing such Shareholder’s Shares in the Company has been issued to each such Shareholder upon his purchase of such Shares and such Certificate simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement shall be delivered by each such
Shareholder to the Company along with a stock power signed by that Shareholder in blank. 
 Upon an event which would allow the
Company to require a Shareholder to sell either all or a portion of his or her interest in the Company pursuant to, without limitation, Articles 7 and 8 of this Agreement, each of the Shareholders hereby irrevocably authorizes each of the other
Shareholders, as his or her lawful attorney-in-fact, to complete his or her executed stock power(s) (whether held by the Company and/or the pledgee) and deliver his or her Shares certificate accompanied by the completed stock power(s) to a Permitted
Transferee at the time of the closing of a Permitted Transfer under this Agreement. 
 It is expressly acknowledged by each
Shareholder that the foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. 
 ARTICLE 12.
TERMINATION 
 12.1. Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following
events: (i) bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation and/or dissolution of the Company, (ii) the acquisition of all of the Shares by a single Person, (iii) the completion of any sale of Shares, merger, consolidation or corporate
reorganization in which each of the Shareholders agrees to the sale or exchange of his Shares in a manner so that a third party becomes the owner of more than 50 percent of the Shares, or (iv) December 31, 2050; provided, however, the
provisions of Article 4, 13, 15 and 20.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 12.2. Rights of
Shareholder. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to any Shareholder, and he shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except those contained in Articles 4, 13 and 15 which expressly survive the sale, immediately upon his
disposition of all of his Shares, provided that such disposition was completed in compliance with this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 13.
COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE 
 13.1. Noncompete During Employment and Upon Termination for Cause or Voluntary
Termination. In the event that a Shareholder Voluntarily Terminates (as defined below) his employment with the Company (or its directly or indirectly held Affiliates which shall include Manning & Napier Group, LLC (and its
subsidiaries)) or such Shareholder’s employment is terminated by the Company (or its directly or indirectly held Affiliates which shall include Manning & Napier Group, LLC (and its subsidiaries)) for “Cause” (a
“Termination Event”) then such Shareholder agrees with each other Shareholder and with the Company that after ceasing to be an employee of the Company (or its directly or indirectly held Affiliates which shall include Manning &
Napier Group, LLC (and its subsidiaries)), he will not, directly or indirectly, (i) for a period of two years engage in or become interested in, as owner, shareholder, partner, lender, 

  
 16 









 
investor, director, officer, employee, consultant, agent, representative or otherwise, any Person engaged in any business competitive with that of the Company (or its directly or indirectly held
Affiliates which shall include Manning & Napier Group, LLC (and its subsidiaries)) or its Affiliates; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (i) if such Shareholder is an Opter (as defined below) as of an Opt-Out Date
(as defined below) then the provisions contained in this subsection (i) shall not apply. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Opter” shall mean (1) with respect to individuals who become Employees after December 31,
2001, any Employee whose average annualized Compensation (as defined below), while an Employee, is less than $300,000 (such amount shall be adjusted annually, beginning in 2003, by multiplying such amount (as previously adjusted) by the Gross
Domestic Product Implicit Price Deflator (for such year) as published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis) tested over the 24 month period immediately preceding the Opt-Out Date (or shorter period if the individual was not an Employee for at least 24
months); provided, however, any Employee who receives (has received or is to receive) more than $1,000,000, in the aggregate, (including the fair market value of any property received in the transaction) in exchange for his or her ownership interest
in the Company shall no longer qualify as an Opter (regardless of his or her Compensation) and (2) with respect to individuals who became Employees before January 1, 2002, any Employee whose average annualized Compensation (as defined
below), while an Employee, is less than $300,000 (such amount shall be adjusted annually, beginning in 2003, by multiplying such amount (as previously adjusted) by the Gross Domestic Product Implicit Price Deflator (for such year) as published by
the Bureau of Economic Analysis) tested over the 24 month period immediately preceding the Opt-Out Date; provided, however, any Employee who receives (has received or is to receive) more than $1,000,000, in the aggregate, (including the fair market
value of any property received in the transaction) in exchange for his or her ownership interest in the Company shall no longer qualify as an Opter (regardless of his or her Compensation). For purposes of this Agreement the term
“Compensation” shall mean the sum of (a) the Employee’s wages from the Company or Manning & Napier Group, LLC (or its subsidiaries) (including any bonus or incentive payments of any kind, all as reflected on the
Employee’s W-2 form or otherwise), (b) the Employee’s taxable income realized as a result of being a Shareholder (or Member) of the Company or Manning & Napier Group, LLC (or its subsidiaries) (as reflected on the form K-1 or
1099 received by the Employee with respect to each of the Company or Manning & Napier Group, LLC (or its subsidiaries)). The following illustrates the concept of an Opter: (x) with respect to an Employee who has been an Employee for
greater than 24 months, if such Employee’s employment with the Company or Manning & Napier Group, LLC (or its subsidiaries) ceases and during the 24 month period immediately preceding such Employee’s termination of employment such
Employee’s average annual Compensation (during such 24 month period) is less than $300,000, the Employee at that time qualifies as an Opter (thus, for example, if an Employee, who has been an Employee for at least 24 months, resigns as of
July 15, 2005, then the Employee’s aggregate Compensation between July 15, 2003 and July 14, 2005 is taken into account in determining whether the Employee qualifies as an Opter), and (y) with respect to an Employee who has
not been an Employee for 24 months the Employee’s Compensation will be annualized based on the period that the individual was an Employee in order to determine whether the Employee’s average annual Compensation exceeds $300,000. Thus if
the Employee’s Compensation, while an Employee for three months, is $75,000 or less for such three month period the Employee will at that time qualify as an Opter. If after six months as an Employee, the Employee’s Compensation exceeds
$150,000 during such six month 

  
 17 









 period, the Employee will no longer qualify as an Opter. For purposes of this Agreement the term
“Opt-Out Date” shall mean the last date of employment of any Employee, (ii) for a period of three years (four years if the Termination Event occurs after five years of such person becoming a Shareholder and five years if the
Termination Event occurs after ten years of such person becoming a Shareholder) solicit, on behalf of himself or any Person, any Person that is as of the Termination Event, or has been within one year prior to the Termination Event, a client of the
Company (or its directly or indirectly held Affiliates which shall include Manning & Napier Group, LLC (and its subsidiaries)) or its Affiliates to become an investment advisory, brokerage or similar client of the Shareholder or any other
Person; (iii) for a period of five years solicit any Person who is as of the Termination Event, or has been within one year prior to the Termination Event, an employee of the Company (or its directly or indirectly held Affiliates which shall
include Manning & Napier Group, LLC (and its subsidiaries)) or its Affiliates to become an employee of or consultant to the Shareholder or any other Person; or (iv) for a period of two years (three years if the Termination Event is
after five years of such person becoming a Shareholder and five years if the Termination Event is after ten years of such person becoming a Shareholder), solicit any Person who is a “Prospect” of the Company (or its directly or indirectly
held Affiliates which shall include Manning & Napier Group, LLC (and its subsidiaries)) or its Affiliates, to become an investment advisory, brokerage or similar client of the Shareholder or any other Person. For purposes of this Article
13, the term “Prospect” shall mean any Person (i) who is on the monthly marketing group meeting list of prospects issued during the twelve months prior to the Termination Event, (ii) who is on the monthly, quarterly or semiannual
list of prospects submitted to the products group manager (or person fulfilling such function) issued in the twelve months prior to the Termination Event, (iii) who is on the semiannual forecast list of prospects that each sales representative
or client consultant submits to the national sales manager (or person fulfilling such function) issued in the twelve months prior to the Termination Event or (iv) who has met with sales or marketing personnel (i.e., sales representatives,
product management or sales support personnel) more than two times in the six months prior to the Termination Event regarding the services provided by the Company (or its directly or indirectly held Affiliates which shall include Manning &
Napier Group, LLC (and its subsidiaries)) and its related entities. The provisions of this Section 13.1 shall also be applicable to any Shareholder while such Person is a Shareholder and Employee of the Company (or its directly or indirectly
held Affiliates which shall include Manning & Napier Group, LLC (and its subsidiaries)) without regard to the 2 year, 3 year and 5 year time periods referred to herein. 

For purposes of this Article 13, “Voluntarily Terminate” shall mean any employee who resigns from the Company (or its directly
or indirectly held Affiliates which shall include Manning & Napier Group, LLC (and its subsidiaries)); provided, however, an employee shall not be deemed to “Voluntarily Terminate” his employment with the Company (or its directly
or indirectly held Affiliates which shall include Manning & Napier Group, LLC (and its subsidiaries)) if (x) such employee terminates his employment with the Company (or its directly or indirectly held Affiliates which shall include
Manning & Napier Group, LLC (and its subsidiaries)) within 4 months after the end of a calendar year in which such employee’s total compensation decreases by more than 20 percent from his compensation for the prior calendar year and if
such reduction is solely as a result of sales management decisions by the Company (or its directly or indirectly held Affiliates which shall include Manning & Napier Group, LLC (and its subsidiaries)) taken without such employee’s
consent and not of general application to all 

  
 18 









 
employees of a particular department or category (for example, reassignment of an employee’s client to another sales representative and that are not a consequence of a client’s written
or oral request or (y) such employee is terminated as a result of a Disability and after such employee no longer suffers such Disability offers his services to the Company (or its directly or indirectly held Affiliates which shall include
Manning & Napier Group, LLC (and its subsidiaries)) and the Company (or its directly or indirectly held Affiliates which shall include Manning & Napier Group, LLC (and its subsidiaries)) refuses to employ such employee at a job of
similar title and salary ((x) and (y) above referred to as “Involuntary Termination”). 
 13.1.1
Cause. Cause shall mean conduct by the Employee which involves fraud, moral turpitude, willful misconduct, bad faith or commission of a crime that is classified as a felony under New York law and in the reasonable opinion of the Board
is injurious to the Company (or its directly or indirectly held Affiliates which shall include Manning & Napier Group, LLC (and its subsidiaries)). 
 13.1.2 Permitted Activities. A Shareholder shall not be deemed to have breached Section 13.1 solely by reason of purchasing stock in a corporation whose shares are listed on the New
York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System, provided that the Shareholder’s beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of any class of equity securities in any such corporation is less than 5% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of such class. 
 13.2. Noncompete Upon Other Termination of Employment. In the event that a Shareholder’s employment is terminated by the Company (or its directly or indirectly held Affiliates which
shall include Manning & Napier Group, LLC (and its subsidiaries)) for any reason (including an Involuntary Termination) other than a reason described in Section 13.1 (a “Termination”) then such Shareholder agrees with each
other Shareholder and with the Company that, after ceasing to be an employee of the Company (or its directly or indirectly held Affiliates which shall include Manning & Napier Group, LLC (and its subsidiaries)), he will not, directly or
indirectly, (i) for a period of three years (two years in the case of an Involuntary Termination prior to the fifth anniversary of such person becoming a Shareholder, four years if the Termination occurs after the fifth anniversary of such
person becoming a shareholder and five years if the Termination is after the tenth anniversary of such person becoming a Shareholder) solicit, on behalf of himself or any Person, any Person that is as of the Termination, or has been within one year
prior to the Termination, a client of the Company (or its directly or indirectly held Affiliates which shall include Manning & Napier Group, LLC (and its subsidiaries)) or its Affiliates to become an investment advisory, brokerage or
similar client of the Shareholder or any other Person; (ii) for a period of five years solicit any Person who is as of the Termination, or has been within one year prior to the Termination, an employee of the Company (or its directly or
indirectly held Affiliates which shall include Manning & Napier Group, LLC (and its subsidiaries)) or its Affiliates to become an employee of or consultant to the Shareholder or any other Person; or (iii) for a period of two years
(three years if the Termination occurs after the fifth anniversary of such person becoming a Shareholder and five years if the Termination occurs after the tenth anniversary of such person becoming a Shareholder) solicit any Person who is a Prospect
of the Company (or its directly or indirectly held Affiliates which shall include 

  
 19 









 
Manning & Napier Group, LLC (and its subsidiaries)) or its Affiliates to become an investment advisory, brokerage or similar client of the Shareholder or any other Person; provided,
however, that the two year period (and only the two year period) referred to in this subclause (iii) shall not apply in the case of an Involuntary Termination prior to the fifth anniversary of such person becoming a Shareholder. In addition, if
(A) such Shareholder’s employment is terminated after (i) one year after such Shareholder’s note issued to the person or entity from which he or she acquired his or her Shares is paid in full and provided that (ii) ten
million dollars (after any capital contributions required pursuant to this Agreement) has been distributed to the Shareholders after the note issued to the person or entity from which he or she acquired his or her Shares is paid in full, then such

 13.2.1 Permitted Activities. A Shareholder shall not be deemed to have
breached Section 13.2 solely by reason of purchasing stock in a corporation whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation
System, provided that the Shareholder’s beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d 3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of any class of equity securities in any such corporation is less than 5% of the aggregate number of
outstanding shares of such class. 
 13.3. Miscellaneous. While the limitations and restrictions imposed by this
Section 13 by the parties upon each other are considered by the parties to be reasonable in all the circumstances, it is recognized that restrictions of the nature in question may fail to be enforceable for technical reasons unforeseen, and,
accordingly, if any of such restrictions shall be adjudged to be void, but would be valid if part of the wording thereof were deleted or the period, if any thereof, reduced or the range of activities or area dealt with thereby reduced in scope, said
restriction shall apply with such modifications as may be necessary to make it valid and effective, provided, however, that this Agreement is not thereby rendered fundamentally different in its content or effect.

 ARTICLE 20. COMPANY REDEMPTIONS 

20.1. Redemptions In General. The Company’s primary asset shall be its ownership interest in M & N Group Holdings,
LLC, whose primary asset shall be its ownership in the units of Manning and Napier Group, LLC. Each year beginning with the calendar year 2013 the Shareholders (other than Manning) shall be entitled to have redeemed by the Company a portion of their
Vested Shares. The mechanism for effectuating such redemption shall be that the Shareholders (other than Manning) shall have an annual subscription period in the first Quarter of each such calendar year, whereby each Shareholder (other than Manning)
shall inform the Company of how many Vested Shares such Shareholder would like to have redeemed and if the total Vested Shares that the Shareholders (other than Manning) wish to have redeemed is in excess of what is allowed under the General Limit
(as defined below), then each such Shareholder who wishes to be redeemed shall have his or her Vested Shares redeemed by the Company based on his or her pro rata percentage (based on Vested Shares) of the General Limit. The procedure of such annual
subscription period shall be determined by the CEO. After the Company has determined the amount, if any, of Shares that are to be redeemed the Company shall direct M&N Group Holdings, LLC to cause there to be a Interim Capital Transaction (as
such term is defined in the M&N Group Holdings, LLC operating agreement) in an amount sufficient to redeem a number of units of M&N Group Holdings, LLC that will allow the Company to redeem the Vested Shares that have been requested to be
redeemed and that are within the General Limit. For purposes of this Agreement the “General Limit” shall be equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the outstanding number of shares of Manning & Napier, Inc. assuming all
of the holders of Manning and Napier Group, LLC units convert into shares of Manning & Napier, Inc. as of the time of the initial public offering of Manning & Napier, Inc.; provided, however, that the Board may increase the General
Limit to allow for additional redemptions at its sole and absolute discretion; further provided, however, that if any Shareholder (other than Manning) shall die, his estate or heirs shall be entitled to request the Company to redeem all of such
Shareholder’s Vested Shares (without reduction to the General Limit). For illustrative purposes only, if there is 100,000,000 units of Manning & Napier Group, LLC outstanding at the time of the initial public offering of
Manning & Napier, Inc., then the General Limit shall be based on a sale 1,500,000 units of Manning & Napier Group, LLC. Therefore, if all of the Shareholders’ (other than Manning) indirect ownership in the Manning &
Napier Group, LLC’s units is 30,000,000 units, then 5% of each Shareholder’s (other than Manning) Vested Shares may be redeemed annually. If any Shareholder (other than Manning) does not wish to have 5% of his or her Vested Shares redeemed
in any year then the other Shareholders (other than Manning) shall be allowed to have redeemed additional Vested Shares pro rata. 
 Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, to the extent Shareholders (other than Manning) have availed themselves of a similar provision of a Related Shareholders Agreement, the General Limit shall be
reduced by an amount equal to what was sold pursuant to those Related Shareholders Agreements. 
 The purchase price that the
Company shall pay a Shareholder for his or her Vested Shares that are subject to redemption shall be equal to the amount the Company receives (less any ordinary and necessary expenses incurred by the Company to effectuate such


  
 24 









 
redemption) from M&N Group Holdings, LLC as a result of the Interim Capital Transaction with respect to the Shares of such Shareholder that is the subject of the redemption. 

20.2. Additional Sale Rights. 
 20.2.1 Manning, subject to the limitations contained in any other agreement, shall have the right, at any time, to cause the Company to direct M&N Group Holdings, LLC to cause there to be a Interim
Capital Transaction in an amount sufficient to redeem a number of units of M&N Group Holdings, LLC that will allow the Company to redeem the Shares that Manning has requested to be redeemed. 

20.2.2 In addition to the General Limit provided in Section 20.1 above, to the extent Manning shall sell any of his direct or
indirect ownership interest in Manning and Napier Group, LLC the Shareholders shall have the right to have a similar percentage of their Shares redeemed by the Company by increasing the General Limit, for such year, contained in Section 20.1.

 20.3. Additional Provisions Related To Redemptions and Certain Other Matters. 

20.3.1 The Company shall not hypothecate, mortgage, pledge or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations with respect to payments due
under an Interim Capital Transaction until the Company’s liquidation. 
 20.3.2 The Company shall (i) except
as otherwise required by the Code, use the cash method of accounting for federal income tax purposes and (ii) elect out of the installment sale treatment under Code Section 453(d) and Treasury Regulation Section 15A.453-1(c)(1) with
respect to any redemption of units in M&N Group Holdings, LLC it owns. 
 20.3.3 Upon the redemption of a share of the
Company stock (for avoidance of any doubt, excluding a purchase under Article 7 or 8 of this Agreement), as consideration for the stock redeemed, the Company shall pay to the redeeming shareholder at the end of each calendar quarter, beginning with
the calendar quarter in which the redemption is effective, an amount equal to the sum of all payments received from M&N Group Holdings, LLC (including, without limitations, payments received by the Company under the TRA Agreement) during such
calendar quarter, attributable to the related Interim Capital Transaction 
 20.3.4 The Company’s obligation to make the
consideration described in Section 20.3.3 with respect to a redemption shall not be evidenced by a note or another instrument transferable by the redeeming shareholder. 
 20.3.5 The Company’s obligation to pay the consideration described in Section 20.3.3 shall not be secured by the Company’s right to payments from M&N Group Holdings, LLC, with respect
to the related Interim Capital Transaction. 
 20.3.6 The shareholders agree, by requesting a redemption of shares of the
Company stock, that they shall elect out of the installment sale treatment under Code Section 

  
 25 









 
453(d) and Treasury Regulation Section 15A.453-1(c)(1) with respect to, if applicable, the redemption. 
 ARTICLE 21. DEATH OF MANNING 
 Upon the death of Manning, the Company, in
consultation with Manning’s estate shall determine whether it is tax efficient to liquidate the Company and to distribute the remaining assets of the Company, pro rata, to the Shareholders. In the event it is determined that a liquidation of
the Company is in the best interest of the Manning Estate then (i) the operating agreement of M&N Group Holdings, LLC shall be amended to contain provisions that are substantially similar to the provisions of this Agreement to effectuate
the intent of this Agreement, (ii) the Company shall be liquidated and (iii) the General Limit for such year shall be increased to allow the Shareholders (other than Manning) the ability to have redeemed additional Vested Shares to afford
such Shareholders the ability to pay all income taxes resulting for the liquidation of the Company. 
 ARTICLE 22.
MISCELLANEOUS 
 22.1. Section Headings. The section and clause headings contained in this Agreement are
for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

than 50% of the Outstanding Shares (excluding the Outstanding Shares owned by Manning as of the date hereof, whether such Shares are still owned by Manning) and (ii) Manning and (b) if Manning is no longer a Shareholder, a written consent
signed by (i) Shareholders owning more than 50% of the Outstanding Shares (excluding the Outstanding Shares owned by Manning as of the date hereof) and (ii) those Persons owning more than 50% of the Outstanding Shares owned by Manning as
of the date hereof or (2) (a) for so long as Manning is a Shareholder, an oral resolution adopted by (x) Shareholders owning more than 50% of the Outstanding Shares (excluding the Outstanding Shares owned by Manning as of the date

hereof, at a Meeting (as defined below) thereof and certified to by an officer of the Company. The Company may, whenever desired, integrate into a single instrument all of the provisions of this Agreement as so amended or modified. For purposes of
this Section 22.2, the term “Meeting” shall mean a meeting (which may be attended in person, by telephone or by written proxy) called by such Shareholder(s) who own at least 50% of the Outstanding Shares by written notice (which may
include facsimile or e-mail) at least 3 Business Days before such meeting. No such modification or amendment shall require the consent or approval of the Company. The Shareholders shall to the extent necessary take any and all actions required to
effectuate such modifications or amendments, including, without limitation, approving amendments or 

  
 26 









 
modifications to the Certificate of Incorporation The delay or failure on the part of any party hereto to insist, in any one instance or more, upon strict performance of any of the terms or
conditions of this Agreement, or to exercise any right or privilege herein conferred shall not be construed as a waiver of any such terms, conditions, rights or privileges but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. All rights
and remedies are cumulative. 
 22.3. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Related Shareholders Agreements
supersede all prior agreements among the parties with respect to their subject matter and are intended, with the documents referred to herein and therein, as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement among the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. 
 22.4. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is
invalid or unenforceable, the balance of the Agreement shall remain in effect and, if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. 

22.5. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 22.6. Governing Law. This
Agreement and (unless otherwise provided) all amendments hereof and waivers and consents hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof. 
 22.7. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties’ respective legal representatives, successors, heirs, distributees, testamentary beneficiaries and personal representatives. No party may assign any rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement.

22.8.1 In furtherance of the foregoing, whenever the Shareholders shall, pursuant to this Agreement, purchase Shares, each transferring
Shareholder and the Personal Representatives of any deceased or incompetent Shareholder shall do all things and execute and deliver all papers as may be reasonably necessary to consummate such purchase or as may be reasonably requested by the

references to “share(s)” or “stock” shall be deemed to include “interest(s)”, all references to “shareholder(s)” shall be deemed to include “member(s)” or “partner(s)” and all references to
