			[SIGNATURE PAGE TO NOTICE OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT FOR TRADEWEB MARKETS INC. 2019 OMNIBUS EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN]

		








		

		
			Exhibit A
		

		
			 
		

		
			TRADEWEB MARKETS INC.
		

		
			2019 OMNIBUS EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
		

		
			RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT
		

		
			AWARD AGREEMENT
		

		
			 
		

		
			(Version 2020)
		

		
			 
		

		
			THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this  “Award Agreement”) is entered into by and among Tradeweb Markets Inc. (the “Company”) and the individual set forth on the signature page to that certain Notice of Grant (the “Notice”) to which this Award Agreement is attached.  The terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Units granted hereby, to the extent not controlled by the terms and conditions contained in the Plan, shall be as set forth in the Notice and this Award Agreement.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning attributed to such terms in the Notice or, if not defined therein, in the Plan.
		

		
			 
		

		
			1.         No Right to Continued Employee Status or Consultant Service
		

		
			 
		

		
			Nothing contained in this Award Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee the right to the continuation of his or her employment, or, in the case of a Consultant or Director, to the continuation of his or her service arrangement, nor shall anything herein interfere with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates to Terminate the Grantee.
		

		
			 
		

		
			2.         Term of Restricted Stock Units
		

		
			 
		

		
			This Award Agreement shall remain in effect until the Restricted Stock Units have fully vested and been settled or been forfeited by the Grantee as provided in this Award Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			3.         Vesting of Restricted Stock Units
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        Vesting Schedule.  Subject to the Grantee’s not having Terminated, except as specifically provided herein or in the Plan,  one-third (1/3) of the Restricted Stock Units shall vest on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the Vesting Start Date (each, a “Vesting Date”), subject to the Grantee not having Terminated prior to such anniversary.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control, the portion of the Award that has not vested as of the date of the Change in Control shall become fully vested as of the date of the Change in Control, subject to the Grantee not having Terminated prior to the closing of such Change in Control.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)        Termination.  Except as set forth in the remainder of this Section 3(c), if the Grantee incurs a Termination for any reason, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, then the portion of the Restricted Stock Units that have not previously vested shall terminate as of the date of the Grantee’s Termination. If the Grantee incurs a Termination for Cause, then the Restricted Stock Units (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Restricted Stock Units that are
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			 

		








		

		
			unvested and vested but not yet settled) shall be forfeited and terminate immediately without consideration upon the effective date of such Termination for Cause.
		

		
			 
		

		
			If the Grantee incurs a Termination (i) without Cause, (ii) due to death or Disability, or (iii) due to his or her Retirement (as defined below), the portion of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units that have not previously vested shall continue to vest following the date of the Grantee’s death or Termination in accordance with Section 3(a) hereof. For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Retirement” means a Grantee’s voluntary resignation upon six months’ notice to the Company for any reason after attaining a combination of (A) age 55 with at least 10 years of credited service or (B) age 65 with at least 5 years of credited service.
		

		
			 
		

		
			4.         Dividend Equivalent Rights
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder will accumulate dividend equivalent rights in respect of any dividends paid on Shares (on a one Share to one Restricted Stock Unit basis) from the Date of Grant through each Vesting Date. To the extent the Restricted Stock Units that gave rise to any dividend equivalent rights are forfeited pursuant to this Award Agreement or the Plan, those dividend equivalent rights will also be forfeited.  The aggregate dollar amount of dividend equivalent rights accumulated under this Section 4 and not forfeited shall be added to, and be settled at the same time as the related Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 5 below.
		

		
			 
		

		
			5.         Settlement of Restricted Stock Units
		

		
			 
		

		
			This Award Agreement shall entitle the Grantee to receive one (1) Share in settlement of each vested Restricted Stock Unit on the first trading date following the applicable Vesting Date  (each such date, the “Settlement Date”),  less a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the withholding and employment taxes associated with the settlement of the PRSUs;  provided that, if a “Qualified Change in Control” (as defined below) occurs prior to the settlement of any Restricted Stock Unit,  settlement shall occur at the time(s) and in the same form of consideration as the consideration delivered to the Company’s stockholders in connection with such transaction, to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A.  For purposes of the foregoing, a “Qualified Change in Control” is a Change in Control that also constitutes a change of ownership or effective control of, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of, the Company for purposes of Code Section 409A. In addition, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee on the Settlement Date a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the Settlement Date equal to any dividend equivalent rights accrued pursuant to Section 4 hereof in respect of the Restricted Stock Units to be settled on the Settlement Date, less a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the withholding and employment taxes associated with the settlement of such dividend equivalent rights.
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			 

		








		

		
			6.         Restrictive Covenants
		

		
			 
		

		
			By signing the Notice, the Grantee acknowledges that he or she has entered into a Restricted Covenant Agreement with the Company on or about the date hereof which supersedes any prior restrictive covenant agreements entered into by the Grantee and the Company (if any).
		

		
			 
		

		
			7.         Prohibited Activities
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        No Sale or Transfer. Unless otherwise required by law, the Restricted Stock Units shall not be (i) sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, (ii) pledged or otherwise hypothecated or (iii) subject to attachment, execution or levy of any kind, other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution; provided,  however, that any transferred Restricted Stock Units will be subject to all of the same terms and conditions as provided in the Plan and this Award Agreement and the Grantee’s estate or beneficiary appointed in accordance with the Plan will remain liable for any withholding tax that may be imposed by any federal, state or local tax authority.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        Right to Terminate Restricted Stock Units and Recovery. The Grantee understands and agrees that the Company has granted the Restricted Stock Units to the Grantee to reward the Grantee for the Grantee’s future efforts and loyalty to the Company and its Affiliates by giving the Grantee the opportunity to participate in the potential future appreciation of the Company.  Accordingly, if (a) the Grantee materially violates the Grantee’s obligations relating to the non-disclosure or non-use of confidential or proprietary information under any Restrictive Agreement to which the Grantee is a party, or (b) the Grantee materially breaches or violates the Grantee’s obligations relating to non-disparagement under any Restrictive Agreement to which the Grantee is a party, or (c) the Grantee engages in any activity prohibited by this Section 7 of this Award Agreement, or (d) the Grantee materially breaches or violates any non-solicitation obligations under any Restrictive Agreement to which the Grantee is a party, or  (e) the Grantee is convicted of a felony against the Company or any of its Affiliates or (f) the Grantee breaches or violates any non-competition obligations under any Restrictive Agreement to which the Grantee is a party (as applicable), then, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to the Company, the Company shall be entitled, at its option, exercisable by written notice, to terminate the Restricted Stock Units (including the vested portion of the Restricted Stock Units) without consideration, which shall be of no further force and effect.  “Restrictive Agreement” shall mean (i) for any Grantee who is not a resident of the State of California, any agreement between the Company or any Subsidiary and the Grantee that contains non-competition, non-solicitation, non-hire, non-disparagement, or confidentiality restrictions applicable to the Grantee and (ii) for any Grantee who is a resident of the State of California, any agreement between the Company or any Subsidiary and the Grantee that contains non-solicitation, non-hire, non-disparagement, or confidentiality restrictions applicable to the Grantee.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)        Other Remedies. The Grantee specifically acknowledges and agrees that its remedies under this Section 7 shall not prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in connection with the Grantee’s breach of any Restrictive Agreement.  In the event that the provisions of this Section 7 should ever be deemed to exceed
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			 

		








		

		
			the limitation provided by applicable law, then the Grantee and the Company agree that such provisions shall be reformed to set forth the maximum limitations permitted.
		

		
			 
		

		
			8.         No Rights as Stockholder
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the Shares covered by the Restricted Stock Units until the effective date of issuance of the Shares and the entry of the Grantee’s name as a shareholder of record on the books of the Company following delivery of the Shares in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.
		

		
			 
		

		
			9.         Withholding
		

		
			 
		

		
			All payments made pursuant to this Award Agreement shall be subject to all applicable U.S. federal, state and local and applicable non-U.S. tax, social security and similar withholdings. The Grantee shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes relating to the payment or provision of any amounts or benefits hereunder. The Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold, any applicable withholding taxes in respect of the Restricted Stock Units, or any payment or transfer under, or with respect to, the Restricted Stock Units and to take such other action as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Board to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			10.       Securities Laws
		

		
			 
		

		
			Upon the acquisition of any Shares pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee will make such written representations, warranties, and agreements as the Committee may reasonably request in order to comply with securities laws or with this Award Agreement. The Grantee hereby agrees not to offer, sell or otherwise attempt to dispose of any Shares issued to the Grantee upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units in any way which would: (x) require the Company to file any registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any similar filing under state law or the laws of any other county) or to amend or supplement any such filing or (y) violate or cause the Company to violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other Federal, state or local law, or the laws of any other country. The Company reserves the right to place restrictions on any Shares the Grantee may receive as a result of the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.
		

		
			 
		

		
			11.       Modification, Amendment, and Termination of Restricted Stock Units
		

		
			 
		

		
			Except as set forth in Section 13(b) hereof, this Award Agreement may not be modified, amended, terminated and no provision hereof may be waived in whole or in part except by a written agreement signed by the Company and the Grantee and no modification shall, without the consent of the Grantee, alter to the Grantee’s material detriment or materially impair any rights of the Grantee under this Award Agreement except to the extent permitted under the Plan.

			The Restricted Stock Units are intended to be compliant with Section 409A of the Code and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Award Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

			16.       Severability and Reformation
		

		
			 
		

		
			If any provision of this Award Agreement shall be determined by a court of law of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason, such unenforceability shall not affect the enforceability of any of the remaining provisions hereof. In that case, this Award Agreement, to the fullest extent lawful, shall be reformed and construed as if such unenforceable provision, or part thereof, had never been contained herein, and such provision or part thereof shall be reformed or construed so that it would be enforceable to the maximum extent legally possible.
		

		
			 
		

		
			17.       Binding Effect
		

		
			 
		

		
			This Award Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto, together with their personal executors, administrator, successors, personal representatives, heirs and permitted assigns.

			Waiver by any party of any breach of this Award Agreement or failure to exercise any right hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach or right whether or not of the same or a similar nature. The failure of any party to take action by reason of such breach or to
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			 

		








		

		
			exercise any such right shall not deprive the party of the right to take action at any time while or after such breach or condition giving rise to such rights continues.
