 Manning & Napier,
Inc. 
 290 Woodcliff Drive 
 Fairport, New York 14450 

Attention: Sarah Turner, Corporate Secretary 
 Dear Sir or Madam:

 The undersigned, a unitholder of MNCC (as defined below) (the “Shareholder”), proposes to acquire
                 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Manning & Napier, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to a share exchange whereby Manning & Napier Capital Company, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“MNCC”), shall exchange, in a redemption, the Shares to the
Shareholder in exchange for the Shareholder exchanging                  units of MNCC owned by the Shareholder, which represent beneficial interests in the
Class A Units of Manning & Napier Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. 
 The Shares are subject to transfer
restrictions, and the Shareholder acknowledges that the Shares will continue to be subject to transfer restrictions when registered in the name of the Shareholder. 

The Shareholder hereby represents, warrants and agrees that: 

(a) The Shareholder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 
 (b) The Shareholder is purchasing the Shares for his or her own account for
investment purposes only, not for the account of any other person and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of the Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation under the Securities Act. 

(c) The Shareholder has sufficient knowledge and experience in business, financial and investment matters to be able to evaluate the risks
involved in the purchase of the Shares and to make an informed investment decision with respect to such purchase. 
 (d) The Shareholder can
afford a complete loss of the value of the Shares and is able to bear the economic risk of holding the Shares for an indefinite period. 

(e) The Shareholder understands that the Shares he or she is acquiring from MNCC are being acquired in a private transaction which is not being
registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws; provided however that the Company will consider the applicability of the existing Registration Rights Agreement, dated November 23, 2011, to the Shares. 

  
 -1- 

 (f) The Shareholder understands and agrees that (i) the Shares have not been registered
under the Securities Act and are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, (ii) the Shares cannot be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is then available, (iii) in any event, the exemption from registration under Rule 144 or otherwise may not be available for at least six months and even then will not be
available unless the terms and conditions of Rule 144 are complied with, and (iv) the Company, in its discretion, may cause stop transfer orders to be placed with its transfer agent with respect to the certificate representing the Shares.

 (g) The Shareholder acknowledges that a legend in substantially the following form will be placed on the certificate representing the
Shares: 
 “The securities represented hereby have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or the securities
commission of any state in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and, accordingly, may not be transferred unless (i) such securities have been registered for
sale pursuant to the Securities Act, (ii) such securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (iii) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that such transfer may lawfully be
made without registration under the Securities Act.” 
 (h) The transfer is between MNCC and the Shareholder only and the Company has
not made any representations or warranties to the Shareholder about its current or prospective business or financial condition and is taking place in connection with the Exchange Agreement, dated as of November 23, 2011, between the Company,
M&N Group Holdings, LLC, Manning & Napier Capital Company, LLC and certain holders of units of Manning & Napier Group, LLC. 

(i) The Shareholder did not learn of the investment in the Shares as a result of any general or public solicitation or general advertising, or
publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, including (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, website, or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio, or
(ii) any seminar or meeting to which the Shareholder was invited by any of the foregoing means of communications. 
 (j) The Shareholder
understands that the Company is relying to a material degree on the accuracy and completeness of the representations, warranties and agreements contained herein in order to register the transfer of the Shares to the Shareholder in a private
transaction. 
 The Company and its transfer agent may rely upon the representations, warranties and agreements made herein as if this
letter had been addressed to them.

Mr. Michael Welch

Dear Michael:

We are excited about the prospect of you joining the Asbury Automotive Group team as the Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer reporting to me, subject to your appointment by the Board of Directors.  I am sure you will make significant contributions to our company and look forward to you starting on August 9, 2021.

Cash Compensation
Your Target Annualized Cash Compensation will be $1,017,500. This includes a $550,000 base salary and a $467,500 target annual bonus, which is 85% of your base salary.

Your 2021 annual bonus will be prorated and will be based on the same bonus criteria applicable to all Dealership Support Center bonus-eligible employees. The bonus criteria are based on the number of cars sold in the United States in 2021 and Asbury's EBITDA achieved at each level of sales.

Equity Grant
On your start date, you will be granted an equity award with a value of $500,000, which will be issued in the form of restricted share units of common stock of Asbury that will vest ratably over a three-year period. The actual number of shares you will be granted will be based on the closing price of a share of common stock of Asbury on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant. The equity award will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2019 Asbury Equity and Incentive Plan and in the equity award agreement that you enter into with Asbury.

You will be eligible for future grants during the normal and customary equity grant cycle, which has historically occurred in February.

Equity Holding Requirements
You will be required to own Asbury equity valued at three times your base salary. You will be expected to meet this guideline over the course of five years. The following shares count towards your ownership for purposes of meeting the requirements: (i) all restricted share units of common stock of Asbury whether vested or unvested, (ii) all performance shares of common stock of Asbury that are earned, even if not vested and (iii) all shares of common stock of Asbury that are held by you.

Demonstrator Vehicle
You will be provided one demonstrator vehicle for your use. The imputed income associated with the demonstrator vehicle will be taxable to you.

Benefits
We offer a competitive benefits package including: Family Health, Dental and Vision Care, a 401(k) Plan, Employee LTD, Life and STD; details will be provided.

Vacation
You will have 4 weeks of paid time off, which will be prorated for 2021 based upon your start date.

Relocation
You will receive a relocation allowance in the gross amount of $100,000 paid in 5 equal monthly installments, with the first installment of $20,000 payable on the first pay date following your commencement of employment and each of the 4 remaining monthly installments in the amount of $20,000 would be paid in the first payroll following 30 days after the prior payment. All installments of the relocation bonus will be subject to normal tax withholdings. The relocation bonus would be subject to full repayment to Asbury if you voluntarily terminate your employment with Asbury within 1 year of your start date.

Termination Protection
You will receive a severance pay agreement providing base salary and benefits continuation for one year and a pro-rated bonus for the portion of the year you served prior to your termination in the event you are terminated without "cause” or you terminate your employment for "good reason" (as such terms are defined in the severance pay agreement). You must execute a general release to receive the payment of any severance.

Our offer is contingent upon successful completion of an officer’s questionnaire, background check, credit check, motor vehicle review and a pre-employment drug test.

In extending this offer of employment, we have relied on your representations that (1) you will not use in any way any confidential information (or any records, documents and similar items) relating to the business of your former employers while employed at Asbury and (2) you have not entered into any agreement or made any commitment to any prior employer or other third party (including, without limitation, non-competition provisions or other restrictive covenants in agreements with prior employers) which would in any way affect or limit your ability to carry out your duties with Asbury. By signing this offer letter, you acknowledge that any inaccuracy in these representations may be grounds for termination for “cause.”

To signify your acceptance of this position, please sign below and return one copy to me.

			
	Sincerely,
	
	/s/    David W. Hult
	
	David W. Hult
	President and CEO
	Asbury Automotive Group, Inc.

						
	 I hereby signify my acceptance of the position.
