OPTION AGREEMENT

 

2018 SHARE OPTION PLAN

 

THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”),
is made effective as of [_____] (the “Date of Grant”), between Tradeweb Markets LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (the “Company”), and [________] (the “Participant”).

 

RECITALS:

 

WHEREAS, the Board has adopted the Tradeweb
Markets LLC 2018 Share Option Plan (the “Plan”), which Plan is incorporated herein by reference and made a part
of this Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given thereto in the Plan; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company has determined that
it would be in the best interests of the Company and its Members to grant an Option to the Participant pursuant to the Plan and
the terms set forth herein.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the
Participant’s services and of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.           Grant
of the Option. The Company hereby grants to the Participant an option (the “Option”) to purchase [___] of
the Company’s Class C Shares (the “Shares”). Fifty percent (50%) of the Shares subject to the Option will
be subject solely to the time-based vesting conditions set forth in Section 3(a) below (the “Time-Vesting Portion”),
and fifty percent (50%) of the Shares subject to the Option will be subject solely to the performance-based vesting conditions
set forth in Section 3(c) below (the “Performance-Vesting Portion”). The Option Price shall be $_______ per
Share, which the Company and the Participant agree is not less than the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the date hereof.

 

2.           Term.
The Option shall terminate in full on the earliest to occur of (i) the 10th anniversary of the Date of Grant, (ii) the
termination of the Participant’s Employment by the Company for Cause (or resignation of Employment when grounds for Cause
exist), (iii) a breach of any restrictive covenant in favor of the Company Group to which the Participant is subject (including
Sections 7 and 8 hereof), and (iv) the expiration of the Post Termination Exercise Period (as defined in Section 4 below).

 

3.           Vesting.
The portion of the Option that has become vested as described in this Section 3 is hereinafter referred to as the “Vested
Portion.”

 

(a)          Time-Vesting
Portion. Subject to earlier termination or cancellation of the Option as set forth herein, the Time-Vesting Portion shall become
vested (but not exercisable) with respect to the percentages set forth below on the dates set forth below:

 

     

     

    

 

(i)          Prior
to January 1, 2019, no portion of the Time-Vesting Portion shall be vested;

 

(ii)         On
and after January 1, 2019, the Time-Vesting Portion shall be vested with respect to an aggregate of 25% of the Shares subject
to the Time-Vesting Portion, provided that the Participant’s Employment has not terminated as of such date;

 

(iii)        On
and after January 1, 2020, the Time-Vesting Portion shall be vested with respect to an aggregate of 50% of the Shares subject to
the Time-Vesting Portion, provided that the Participant’s Employment has not terminated as of such date;

 

(iv)        On
and after January 1, 2021, the Time-Vesting Portion shall be vested with respect to an aggregate of 75% of the Shares subject to
the Time-Vesting Portion, provided that the Participant’s Employment has not terminated as of such date; and

 

(v)         On
and after January 1, 2022, the Time-Vesting Portion shall be vested with respect to an aggregate of 100% of the Shares subject
to the Time-Vesting Portion, provided that the Participant’s Employment has not terminated as of such date.

 

(b)          Notwithstanding
Section 3(a) hereof:

 

(i)          in
the event of a Change of Control, the Time-Vesting Portion shall automatically become vested with respect to 100% of the Shares
subject to the Time-Vesting Portion (to the extent still unvested) if the Participant’s Employment with the Company is still
active on the date of such Change of Control (or if the Participant’s Employment was terminated by the Company without Cause
or by the Participant for Good Reason, in either case, in the 90 days immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control);
and

 

(ii)         in
the event of an IPO, the portion of the Time-Vesting Portion scheduled to become vested on the last two vesting dates described
above (January 1, 2021 and January 1, 2022) shall automatically become vested (to the extent still unvested) if the Participant’s
Employment with the Company is still active on the date of such IPO (or if the Participant’s Employment was terminated by
the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, in either case, in the 90 days immediately prior to the closing
of such IPO).

 

(c)          Performance-Vesting
Portion. Subject to earlier termination or cancellation of the Option as set forth herein, the Performance-Vesting Portion
shall become vested (but not exercisable) as follows (if at all) as of the relevant Performance-Vesting Date, provided that the
Participant’s employment has not terminated prior to the earlier of the relevant Performance-Vesting Date or the relevant
Performance Back-End Date (as defined below):

 

(i)          EBITDA-Based
Portion. Fifty percent (50%) of the Performance-Vesting Portion is eligible to become vested (but not exercisable) in four
equal installments upon the Company’s achievement with respect to the relevant calendar year of Actual EBITDA equal to or
greater than the EBITDA Target set forth in the table below for such calendar year (the “EBITDA-Based Portion”):

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

	Calendar Year	 	Portion of EBITDA-
 Based Portion
 Eligible to Become
 Vested
	 	 	EBITDA Target
	2018	 	 	25	%	 	Equal to Actual EBITDA for 2018
	2019	 	 	25	%	 	The product of (a) 98% of 2018 EBITDA Target and (b) 1.086
	2020	 	 	25	%	 	The product of (a) 2019 EBITDA Target and (b) 1.088
	2021	 	 	25	%	 	The product of (a) 2020 EBITDA Target and (b) 1.082

 

(ii)         Revenue-Based
Portion. Fifty percent (50%) of the Performance-Vesting Portion is eligible to become vested (but not exercisable) in four
equal installments upon the Company’s achievement with respect to the relevant calendar year of Actual Revenue equal to or
greater than the Revenue Target set forth in the table below for such calendar (the “Revenue-Based Portion”):

 

	Calendar Year	 	Portion of Revenue-
 Based Portion 
 Eligible to Become 
 Vested
	 	 	Revenue Target	 	Revenue Growth 
 Target
	 
	2018	 	 	25	%	 	Equal to Actual Revenue for 2018	 	 	n/a	 
	2019	 	 	25	%	 	The product of (a) 98% of 2018 Revenue Target and (b) 1.09	 	 	9	%
	2020	 	 	25	%	 	The product of (a) 2019 Revenue Target and (b) 1.075	 	 	7.5	%
	2021	 	 	25	%	 	The product of (a) 2020 Revenue Target and (b) 1.066	 	 	6.6	%

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Revenue
Target is not fully achieved for any calendar year, a portion of the Revenue-Based Portion that is otherwise eligible to vest shall
become vested if actual Revenue growth for such calendar year is at least 80% of the Revenue Growth Target listed above for such
calendar year, with 0% of the Revenue-Based Portion for such calendar year vesting upon achieving 80% of the Revenue Growth Target
and 100% of the Revenue-Based Portion for such calendar year vesting upon achieving 100% of the Revenue Growth Target (and performance
achievement between 80% and 100% determined based on straight-line interpolation from 0% to 100%).

 

(iii)        If
the EBITDA Target or Revenue Target is not fully achieved for any year during the Performance Period, the portion of the Performance-Vesting
Portion eligible to become vested in such year shall become vested the first time the relevant EBITDA Target or Revenue Target
for such later year is fully achieved, if at all, with respect to any later year during the Performance Period.

 

(iv)        For
purposes of this Agreement,

 

		(1)	“Actual EBITDA” shall mean the EBITDA actually achieved by the Company with respect to a calendar year during
the Performance Period, plus the excess (if any) of Actual EBITDA in each of the two preceding calendar years over the EBITDA Target
for such calendar year (but only to the extent there was an EBITDA Target applicable to such calendar year and the excess amount
was not previously credited to an EBITDA Target).

 

		(2)	“Actual Revenue” shall mean the Revenue
actually achieved by the Company with respect to a calendar year during the Performance Period, plus the excess (if any) of Actual
Revenue in each of the two preceding calendar years over the Revenue Target for such calendar year (but only to the extent there
was a Revenue Target applicable to such calendar year and the excess amount was not previously credited to a Revenue Target).

 

		(3)	“EBITDA” shall mean Revenue less Expenses.

 

		(4)	“EBITDA Target” and “Revenue Target” shall mean the figure described in the relevant
cell of the relevant table set forth above; provided that each such figure may be equitably adjusted upwards or downwards
by the Management Equity Committee to account for material events such as acquisitions, dispositions or other similar significant
events.

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

		(5)	“Expenses” shall mean the operating expenses of the Company incurred and recognized in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (for the avoidance of doubt, including but not limited to equity compensation expenses and software
capitalization), provided, however, that Expenses shall not include all amounts attributable to depreciation and amortization
of tangible and intangible assets, capital expenditures, interest expense, income tax expense or expenses that could reasonably
be considered extraordinary or unusual and non-recurring in nature.

 

		(6)	“Performance Back-End Date” shall mean, with respect to any calendar year during the Performance Period,
March 31 of the following calendar year.

 

		(7)	“Performance Period” shall mean the period between calendar year 2018 through and including calendar year
2021.

 

		(8)	“Performance-Vesting Date” shall mean the date (which shall be no later than the Performance Back-End Date,
as defined above), in the calendar year following the calendar year to which a relevant performance condition applies, on which
the Management Equity Committee determines that the Revenue Target and/or the EBITDA Target, as applicable, has been achieved based
on the Company’s audited financials for such year. For the sake of clarity, if the Participant’s Employment terminates
(other than on account of Retirement) following the end of a calendar year but prior to the Performance-Vesting Date for the Performance-Based
Portion for such calendar year, that portion of the Performance-Based Portion shall nevertheless be forfeited on such Participant’s
termination date.

 

		(9)	“Revenue” shall mean the revenue of the Company earned in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, without accounting for any reductions for contingent consideration.

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

(d)          Notwithstanding
Section 3(c) hereof, (i) if a Change of Control occurs prior to the Performance-Vesting Date associated with the final calendar
year of the Performance Period, any portion of the Performance-Vesting Portion that remains unvested shall be eligible to become
vested as of the Change of Control to the extent the applicable remaining EBITDA Target(s) or Revenue Target(s) will have been
deemed satisfied as of the Change of Control. For purposes of the foregoing, an EBITDA Target or Revenue Target shall be calculated
based on the Company’s most recent performance and deemed satisfied to the extent the Management Equity Committee determines
in good faith that the equity value implied in the Change of Control transaction equals or exceeds the equity value implied by
the applicable EBITDA Target or Revenue Target. Any portion of the Performance-Vesting Portion that remains unvested upon a Change
of Control after application of the preceding two sentences shall be forfeited upon the Change of Control.

 

(e)          Notwithstanding
Section 3(c) hereof, if a Participant’s Employment has terminated due to Retirement, a pro-rata portion (based on days completed
in the applicable calendar year through the date of Retirement) of the Performance-Vesting Portion that is otherwise eligible to
become vested in the calendar year of Retirement shall remain outstanding and shall become vested on the applicable Performance-Vesting
Date to the extent the EBITDA Target and/or the Revenue Target (as applicable) with respect to the calendar year of Retirement
is achieved.

 

4.          Termination
of Employment. If the Participant’s Employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, the Option shall, whether or not
vested and whether or not an Exercise Notice (as defined in Section 6) has been delivered, be automatically canceled without payment
of consideration therefor. Except as otherwise provided herein, including Section 9, upon the termination of the Participant’s
Employment for any reason other than Cause, the portion of the Option that is not vested on the date of termination of Employment
shall be automatically cancelled by the Company without payment of consideration therefor (subject, however, to the final clauses
of Section 3(b)(i) and (ii) and Section 3(c), relating to the Performance Back-End Date), and the Vested Portion shall remain outstanding
and exercisable for (i) in the case of the Participant’s resignation without Good Reason, 45 days following the later of
(u) the date of resignation and (v) the date on which the Vested Portion first becomes exercisable, (ii) in the case of a termination
of the Participant’s Employment by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, the ninety (90) day period
following the later of (w) the date of termination and (x) the date on which the Vested Portion first becomes exercisable, or (iii)
in the case of a termination of the Participant’s Employment on account of death or Disability, the one (1) year period following
the later of (y) the date of termination and (z) the date on which the Vested Portion first becomes exercisable (in each case,
the “Post Termination Exercise Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 9, in the case
of the Participant’s Retirement, the Vested Portion (including any portion that becomes vested pursuant to Section 3(e) following
the Participant’s Retirement) shall remain outstanding until the expiration of the term set forth in Section 2 (without regard
to clauses (ii) and (iv) thereof), or until such Vested Portion is exercised, if earlier.

 

5.           Exercise
of the Option. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Participant may exercise the Vested Portion (prior
to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 2, as modified by the last sentence of Section 4) only to the extent forth below:

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

(a)          IPO.
The Participant may exercise the Vested Portion at any time following the closing of an IPO.

 

(b)          Change
of Control. The Participant may exercise the Vested Portion during the 15 day period described in Section 7(b) of the Plan
(or such longer period as the Management Equity Committee may allow for such purpose).

 

(c)          Partial
Sale. In connection with any tag-along sale described in Section 9.3 of the Operating Agreement in which the Class A Members
as a group are selling in the aggregate at least 25% of the Company’s fully diluted equity (by value), the Participant may
participate in such sale to the extent provided in Section 9.3 of the Operating Agreement but solely with respect to the Vested
Portion.

 

6.           Method
of Exercise.

 

(a)          Subject
to Section 5, the Vested Portion may be exercised by delivering to the Company at its principal office written notice of intent
to so exercise (an “Exercise Notice”). Such notice shall specify the number of Shares with respect to which
the Option is being exercised (the “Purchased Shares”) and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate
Option Price of the Vested Portion being so exercised in cash or by check or wire transfer; provided, however, that
payment of such aggregate Option Price may instead be made, in whole or in part, (A) by the delivery to the Company of a certificate
or certificates, book-entry position or other applicable documentation representing Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date
of exercise equal to the aggregate Option Price in respect of the Purchased Shares, duly endorsed, which delivery effectively transfers
to the Company good and valid title to such Shares, free and clear of any pledge, commitment, lien, claim or other encumbrance
(such Shares to be valued on the basis of the aggregate Fair Market Value thereof on the date of such exercise); provided,
that the Company is not then prohibited under applicable law, rules or regulations from purchasing or acquiring such Shares, (B)
if such exercise occurs prior to the expiration of any underwriters’ lockup associated with an IPO (including any time prior
to an IPO) and the Participant’s Employment has not terminated or the Participant is a Good Leaver, by a reduction in the
number of Purchased Shares to be issued upon such exercise having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate
Option Price in respect of the Purchased Shares, or (C) if such exercise occurs following the expiration of any underwriters’
lockup associated with an IPO, by making arrangements through a registered broker-dealer pursuant to cashless exercise procedures
established by the Compensation Committee from time to time, but only if the Participant has first requested that the Company “net
settle” the Options (using the method described in the foregoing clause (B)) and the Company has declined to do so. An Exercise
Notice, once delivered, shall be irrevocable. If a Participant’s Employment terminates other than for Cause following the
delivery of an Exercise Notice, the Exercise Notice shall be honored by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of this
Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Participant shall not have any rights to distributions or other rights of a Member with
respect to Shares subject to the Option other than as explicitly set forth in the Plan or the Operating Agreement until the Participant
has given written notice of exercise of the Option, has paid in full for such Shares and, if applicable, has satisfied any other
conditions imposed by the Management Equity Committee or pursuant to the Plan, this Agreement or the Operating Agreement.

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

(b)          Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, the Option may not be exercised prior to the completion of any
registration or qualification of the Option or the Shares under applicable state and federal securities or other laws, or under
any ruling or regulation of any governmental body or national securities exchange (collectively, the “Legal Requirements”)
that the Management Equity Committee shall reasonably and in good faith determine to be necessary or advisable, unless an exemption
to such registration or qualification is available and satisfied. The Management Equity Committee may establish additional procedures
as it deems necessary and reasonable in good faith in connection with the exercise of the Option or the issuance of any Shares
to comply with any Legal Requirements. Such procedures may include, but are not limited to, that following receipt of the notice
of exercise and prior to the completion of the exercise, the Participant will be required to affirm the exercise of the Option
following receipt of any disclosure deemed necessary or desirable by the Management Equity Committee.

 

(c)          Upon
the Company’s determination that the Option has been validly exercised as to any of the Shares, the Company shall issue certificates
or other documentation in the Participant’s name, or evidence of book entry Shares, for such Shares. Such certificates or
other documentation will be held by the Company on behalf of the Participant until such time as the Shares represented by such
certificates or other documentation are transferred as permitted by the Operating Agreement.         

 

(d)          In
the event of the Participant’s death or Disability, the Vested Portion shall remain exercisable by the Participant’s
executor or administrator, or the person or persons to whom the Participant’s rights under this Agreement shall pass by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution, as the case may be, during the periods set forth in Section 5 (and the term “Participant”
shall be deemed to include such heir or legatee). Any such heir or legatee of the Participant shall assume the rights herein granted
subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

 

(e)          As
a condition to the grant of this Option, the Participant, if not already party to the Operating Agreement, shall become a party
to the Operating Agreement by signing a Joinder Agreement thereto and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Participant
acknowledges that, prior to an IPO, Shares acquired pursuant to exercise of the Option shall be subject to the Section 9.7 of the
Operating Agreement (regarding the repurchase of Shares by the Company).

 

(f)          In
consideration of the grant of this Option, the Participant agrees that, as a condition to the exercise of any portion of the Option,
the Participant shall, with respect to such exercise, remit to the Company any applicable withholding taxes, which the Participant
may remit by making a “cashless” or “net settlement” election to the extent permitted by Section 13.

 

    	 	8	 

     

    

 

7.           Unauthorized
Disclosure.

 

(a)          The
Participant agrees and understands that in his or her position with the Company, he or she has been and will be exposed to and
will receive confidential and proprietary information relating to the affairs of the Company and its Affiliates, including, without
limitation, technical information, intellectual property, business and marketing plans, strategies, customer information, software,
other information concerning the products, promotions, development, financing, and expansion plans of the Company and its Affiliates
(including, without limitation, confidential and proprietary ideas, research and development, know-how, formulas, technical data,
designs, drawings, specifications, customer and supplier lists, pricing and cost information and business and marketing plans and
proposals) (collectively, the “Confidential Information”); provided, however, that the term "Confidential
Information" shall not apply to information which is of public record, disclosed or available to the industry generally. The
Participant agrees that at all times during his or her employment with the Company and thereafter, except as the Participant determines
in good faith to be appropriate in the discharge of his or her duties with the Company and its Affiliates, the Participant shall
not disclose such Confidential Information, either directly or indirectly, to any Person without the prior written consent of the
Company and shall not use or attempt to use any such information in any manner other than in connection with his or her employment
with the Company, unless required by law to disclose such information, in which case the Participant shall, to the extent permitted,
provide the Company with written notice of such requirement as far in advance of such anticipated disclosure as possible. This
confidentiality covenant has no temporal, geographical or territorial restriction. Upon termination of his or her employment with
the Company, the Participant shall promptly supply to the Company all property, keys, notes, memoranda, writings, lists, files,
reports, customer lists, correspondence, tapes, disks, cards, surveys, maps, logs, machines, technical data and any other tangible
product or document which has been produced by, received by or otherwise submitted to the Participant during or prior to his or
her employment with the Company, and any copies thereof in the Participant’s (or capable of being reduced to his or her)
possession; provided that the Participant shall be entitled to retain (a) personal items, (b) his or her rolodex or other list
of contacts, and (c) information relating to his or her compensation, employee benefits and tax records.

 

(b)          Nothing
in this Agreement shall prohibit or impede the Participant from communicating, cooperating or filing a complaint on possible violations
of U.S. federal, state or local law or regulation to or with any governmental agency or regulatory authority (collectively, a “Governmental
Entity”), including, but not limited to, the SEC, EEOC, OSHA, or the NLRB, or from making other disclosures to any Governmental
Entity that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of U.S. federal, state or local law or regulation, provided that in
each case such communications and disclosures are consistent with applicable law. The Participant understands and acknowledges
that (a) an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any U.S. federal or state trade secret law for the
disclosure of a trade secret that is made (i) in confidence to a U.S. federal, state, or local government official or to an attorney
solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed
in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal, and (b) an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation
by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use
the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal;
and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Moreover, the Participant not be required to give prior
notice to (or get prior authorization from) any member of the Company Group regarding any such communication or disclosure. Except
as otherwise provided in this paragraph or under applicable law, under no circumstance is the Participant authorized to disclose
any information covered by the Company’s or its Affiliates’ attorney-client privilege or attorney work product or the
Company’s trade secrets without prior written consent of the Board.

 

    	 	9	 

     

    

 

8.           Nonsolicitation;
Noncompetition. Participant acknowledges that in the course of Participant’s employment with Company and/or its Affiliates
Participant will or has become familiar with Company’s trade secrets and with other Confidential Information and that Participant’s
services have been and will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to Company and/or its Affiliates. Participant further
acknowledges that Participant will be responsible for developing, growing and continuing customer relationships or the Company
Group’s technology that Participant acknowledges are either part of the Company Group’s existing business and/or were
developed or initiated during the course of Participant’s employment with Company Group using the Company Group’s resources
and for the Company Group’s benefit. Participant further acknowledges that, by virtue of Participant’s employment with
Company Group, Participant will gain knowledge of the identity, characteristics, and preferences of Company Group’s customers
and clients, among other Confidential Information, and that Participant would inevitably have to draw on such information if Participant
were to solicit or service Company’s customers and clients on behalf of a Restricted Enterprise (as defined herein). Accordingly,
the Participant hereby agrees that:

 

(i)          during
Participant’s Employment and for a period of six (6) months immediately thereafter (the “Restriction Period”),
he or she will not, whether acting individually or through any person, firm, corporation or any other entity, directly or indirectly,
own, manage, operate, join, control, be employed by, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be
connected in any manner with, including, without limitation, holding any position as a stockholder, director, officer, consultant,
independent contractor, employee, partner, or investor in, any Restricted Enterprise (as defined below); provided, that
in no event shall ownership of two percent (2%) or less of the outstanding securities of any class of any issuer whose securities
are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or are otherwise listed on an internationally recognized stock
exchange, standing alone, be prohibited by this Section 8(i), so long as he or she does not have, or exercise, any rights to manage
or operate the business of such issuer other than rights as a stockholder thereof. For purposes of this paragraph, “Restricted
Enterprise” shall mean any Person that is engaged in any geographic area in any business conducted by or proposed to
be conducted by the Company or any of its Affiliates in the Company Group’s business plans as in effect at that time.

 

(ii)         during
the Restriction Period plus six (6) months, he or she will not, whether acting individually or through any person, firm, corporation
or any other entity, directly or indirectly contact, induce or solicit (or assist any Person to contact, induce or solicit) for
employment any person who is, or within twelve (12) months prior to the date of such termination of Employment was, an employee
of the Company or its Affiliates.

 

(iii)        during
the Restriction Period plus six (6) months, he or she will not, whether acting individually or through any person, firm, corporation
or any other entity, directly or indirectly contact, induce or solicit (or assist any Person to contact, induce or solicit) any
customer or client of the Company Group to terminate its relationship or otherwise cease doing business in whole or in part with
the Company Group, or directly or indirectly interfere with (or assist any Person to interfere with) any material relationship
between the Company Group and any of their customers or clients so as to cause harm to the Company or its Affiliates.

 

    	 	10	 

     

    

 

9.           Right
to Terminate Option. The Participant understands and agrees that the Company is granting to the Participant the Option hereunder
to reward the Participant for the Participant’s future efforts and loyalty to the Company by giving the Participant the opportunity
to participate in the potential future appreciation of the Company. Accordingly, if, at any time the Participant breaches Section
7 or 8 hereof, the Option (including any Vested Portion) automatically shall be cancelled and be of no further force and effect
without further action by the Company, including on or following a Retirement.

 

10.         No
Right to Continued Employment. The granting of the Option evidenced hereby and this Agreement shall impose no obligation on
the Company or any Affiliate to continue the Employment of the Participant and shall not lessen or affect the Company’s or
its Affiliates’ right to terminate the Employment of such Participant.

 

11.         Legend
on Certificates. The certificates, book-entry position or other applicable documentation representing the Shares purchased
by exercise of the Option shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Management Equity Committee
reasonably deems in good faith to be required under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Shares are listed, and any applicable federal or state laws, and the Management
Equity Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates, book-entry position or other documentation to
make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

 

12.         Transferability.
Unless otherwise determined by the Management Equity Committee, the Option may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold
or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant otherwise than (i) pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, (ii) pursuant to
the Operating Agreement or (iii) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation,
pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate; provided,
however, that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale,
transfer or encumbrance. No such permitted transfer of the Option to heirs or legatees of the Participant shall be effective to
bind the Company unless the Management Equity Committee shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of such
evidence as the Management Equity Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by
the transferee or transferees of the terms and conditions hereof. During the Participant’s lifetime, the Option is exercisable
only by the Participant or the transferee holding the Option pursuant to a Permitted Transfer.

 

    	 	11	 

     

    

 

13.         Withholding.
The Participant shall be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate, and the Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized
to withhold, any applicable withholding taxes in respect of the Option, its exercise or any payment or transfer under, or with
respect to, the Option and to take such other action as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Management Equity Committee
to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes. The Participant shall be solely responsible for the payment
of all taxes relating to the payment or provision of any amounts or benefits hereunder. Prior to the expiration of any underwriters’
lockup associated with an IPO, if the Participant’s Employment has not terminated or the Participant is a Good Leaver, the
Participant may choose to satisfy such obligations by electing at the time of exercise to reduce the number of Purchased Shares
to be issued upon such exercise having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the minimum withholding and employment
taxes payable in respect of the Purchased Shares. Following the expiration of any underwriters’ lockup associated with an
IPO, the Participant may satisfy such obligations by making arrangements through a registered broker-dealer pursuant to cashless
exercise procedures established by the Compensation Committee from time to time, but only if the Participant has first requested
that the Company “net settle” the Options (using the method described in the immediately preceding sentence) and the
Company has declined to do so.

 

14.         Representations.
The Participant represents to the Company as follows (Section 14(a) through Section 14(g), the “Representations”):

 

(a)          The
Participant is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations in effect thereunder (the “Securities Act”).

 

(b)          The
Participant is acquiring the Option for investment for the Participant’s own account and not with a view to, or for resale
in connection with, the distribution or other disposition thereof except in compliance with the Operating Agreement and as permitted
by law, including without limitation the Securities Act. The Participant does not have any present intent to resell or distribute
all or any part of the Option or any Shares underlying the Option.

 

(c)          The
Participant has been advised that the Option has not been registered under the Securities Act, and that the Option or any Shares
underlying the Option may not be sold or otherwise disposed of unless it is registered thereunder or an exemption from registration
is available and that accordingly the Participant may be required to bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite
period of time. The Participant also understands that the Company does not have any intention of registering the Shares acquired
upon exercise of the Optio under the Securities Act or of supplying the information which may be necessary to enable the Participant
to sell the Option or any Shares underlying the Option pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

 

(d)          The
Participant has been given the opportunity to obtain any information or documents, and to ask questions and receive answers about
such documents, the Company and its subsidiaries and the business and prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries as it deems
necessary to evaluate the merits and risks related to the Option and no representations concerning such matters or any other matters
related to such investment have been made to the Participant except as set forth in this Agreement. The Participant has had the
opportunity to consult the Participant’s own attorney, accountant or investment advisor with respect to the investment contemplated
hereby and its suitability for the Participant, including the tax and other economic considerations related to the investment.

 

(e)          The
Participant (i) has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that the Participant is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of ownership and exercise of the Option as contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) understands and has taken
cognizance of all risk factors related to ownership and exercise of the Option.

 

    	 	12	 

     

    

 

(f)          The
Participant has been informed that the offer of the Option is being made pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act relating to transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering, and that, consequently, the materials
relating to the offer have not been subject to review and comment by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any
other governmental authority.

 

(g)          The
Participant is not acquiring the Option as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication
published in any newspapers, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio or internet, or presented at any seminar
or meeting, or any solicitation of a subscription by a person or entity not previously known to the Participant in connection with
investments in securities generally.

 

The Participant will be deemed to make
the Representations with respect to Shares acquired upon each exercise of the Option.

 

15.         Securities
Laws and Underwriters’ Lockup. Upon the acquisition of any Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Option, the Participant
will make or enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Management Equity Committee may reasonably
request in order to comply with applicable securities laws or with this Agreement. The Participant shall not Transfer any Shares
acquired by the Participant under the Plan for a period commencing on the day the Company notifies the Participant that the Company
is in registration under the applicable securities laws until (i) 180 days following the pricing date of an IPO and (ii) 90 days
after the pricing date of any subsequent offering or, in each case, (x) such longer period of time as may be reasonably requested
by the Company’s underwriter(s) in connection with such IPO or subsequent offering and (y) if such IPO or subsequent offering
is in connection with a sale or similar corporate transaction, such longer period of time as may be set forth in any lock-up or
market stand-off agreement executed by the beneficial owners of at least twenty five percent (25%) of the outstanding Shares immediately
before such sale or similar corporate transaction. The Participant shall execute and deliver such agreements as may be reasonably
requested by the Company or its underwriter(s) that are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect
thereto.  The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares subject to the foregoing restriction
until the end of the applicable period.

 

16.         Successors
in Interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any successor to the Company. This Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of the Participant’s legal representatives. All obligations imposed upon the Participant and all
rights granted to the Company under this Agreement shall be binding upon the Participant’s heirs, executors, administrators
and successors.

 

17.         Notices.
Any notice necessary under this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company in care of its Secretary at the principal executive
office of the Company and to the Participant at the address appearing in the personnel records of the Company for the Participant
or to either party hereto at such other address as either party may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice
shall be deemed effective upon receipt thereof by the addressee.

 

    	 	13	 

     

    

 

18.         Choice
of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware, without regard
to principles of conflicts of laws.

 

19.         Option
Subject to Plan. By entering into this Agreement, the Participant agrees and acknowledges that the Participant has received
and read a copy of the Plan. The Option is subject to the Plan. The terms and provisions of the Plan, as it may be amended from
time to time, are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein
and a term or provision of the Plan, the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan, as applicable, will govern and prevail.

 

20.         Signature
in Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as
if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

 

21.         Entire
Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.
This Agreement supersedes all prior representations, agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

AMENDED AND RESTATED 

TRADEWEB MARKETS INC. 

PRSU PLAN

 

		1.	Purpose of the Plan

 

The purpose of the Plan
is to aid the Company and its Affiliates in recruiting and retaining key employees and consultants of outstanding ability and to
motivate such key employees and consultants to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Company and its Affiliates by providing
incentives through the granting of PRSUs. The Company expects that it will benefit from the added interest which such key employees
or consultants will have in the welfare of the Company as a result of their proprietary interest in the Company’s success.
This Plan was previously sponsored by the Company’s subsidiary, Tradeweb Markets LLC, and sponsorship of the prior plan,
as well as all awards thereunder, were assumed by the Company in connection with its initial public offering.

 

		2.	Definitions

 

The following capitalized
terms used in the Plan or in a PRSU Agreement have the respective meanings set forth in this Section:

 

		(a)	Acquired Group Substitution Awards: Shall have the meaning set forth in Section 5 hereof.

 

		(b)	Affiliate: With respect to any Person, any other Person directly or indirectly controlling
or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person, where “control” means the possession,
directly or indirectly, of the power to direct the management and policies of a Person whether through ownership of voting securities,
contract or otherwise.

 

		(c)	Award: An award of PRSUs pursuant to this Plan.

 

		(d)	Board: The Company’s Board of Directors, or, to the extent the Board of Directors
delegates its authority hereunder to its Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee.

 

		(e)	Cause: With respect to a Participant’s termination of Employment, (a) if the Participant
is at the time of termination a party to an employment or retention agreement that defines such term, the meaning given therein,
and (b) in all other cases, any of the following that remains uncured (if curable) for ten days after the Participant’s receipt
of written notice thereof from the Company: (i) the Participant has engaged in dishonesty, gross negligence or willful misconduct,
(ii) the Participant has failed to attempt, in good faith, to substantially perform his duties with the Company (other than as
a result of his physical or mental incapacity), (iii) the Participant has failed to attempt, in good faith, to follow the lawful
written direction of the Board or his supervisor or (iv) the Participant has been convicted of, or has entered a

 

     

     

    

 

plea of guilty
or no contest to, a felony (other than as a result of vicarious liability or a traffic infraction).

 

		(f)	Change of Control: Shall mean the occurrence of any of the following:

 

		i.	An acquisition (other than directly from the Company) of any voting securities of the Company (the
“Voting Securities”) by any Person following the Effective Time, immediately after which such Person first acquires
“Beneficial Ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended) of fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding Voting Securities;
provided, however, that in determining whether a Change of Control has occurred pursuant to this Section 2(f),
the acquisition of Voting Securities in a Non-Control Acquisition (as hereinafter defined) shall not constitute a Change of Control.
A “Non-Control Acquisition” shall mean an acquisition by (i) an employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a
part thereof) maintained by (A) the Company or (B) any corporation or other Person the majority of the voting power, voting equity
securities or equity interest of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company (for purposes of this definition, a “Related
Entity”), (ii) the Company or any Related Entity or (iii) any Person in connection with a Non-Control Transaction (as
hereinafter defined);

 

		ii.	The individuals who, as of the Effective Time are members of the Board (the “Incumbent
Board”), cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board; provided, however,
that if the election, or nomination for election by the Company’s common stockholders, of any new director was approved by
a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Board, such new director shall, for purposes of this Plan, be considered as a member
of the Incumbent Board; provided further, however, that no individual shall be considered a member of the Incumbent
Board if such individual initially assumed office as a result of either an actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents
by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board (a “Proxy Contest”) including by reason of any agreement intended
to avoid or settle any Proxy Contest;

 

		iii.	The consummation of:

 

		a.	A merger, consolidation or reorganization (x) with or into the Company or (y) in which
securities of the Company are issued (a “Merger”), unless such Merger is a Non-Control Transaction. A “Non-Control
Transaction” shall mean a Merger in which:

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

		(A)	the stockholders of the Company immediately before such Merger own directly or indirectly immediately
following such Merger at least a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of (1) the corporation
resulting from such Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”), if fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting
power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Surviving Corporation is not Beneficially Owned, directly or indirectly,
by another Person (a “Parent Corporation”), or (2) if there is one or more than one Parent Corporation, the
ultimate Parent Corporation;

 

		(B)	the individuals who were members of the Board immediately prior to the execution of the agreement
providing for such Merger constitute at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of (1) the Surviving Corporation,
if there is no Parent Corporation, or (2) if there is one or more than one Parent Corporation, the ultimate Parent Corporation;
and

 

		(C)	no Person other than (1) the Company or another corporation that is a party to the agreement of
Merger, (2) any Related Entity, (3) any employee benefit plan (or any trust forming a part thereof) that, immediately prior
to the Merger, was maintained by the Company or any Related Entity or (4) any Person who, immediately prior to the Merger, had
Beneficial Ownership of Voting Securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Company’s
then-outstanding Voting Securities, has Beneficial Ownership, directly or indirectly, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined
voting power of the outstanding voting securities of (x) the Surviving Corporation, if there is no Parent Corporation, or (y) if
there is one or more than one Parent Corporation, the ultimate Parent Corporation;

 

		b.	A complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

 

		c.	The sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole to any Person (other than (x) a transfer to a Related Entity or (y) the distribution to the
Company’s stockholders of the stock of a Related Entity or any other assets).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing,
a Change of Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any Person (the “Subject Person”) acquired Beneficial
Ownership

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

of more than the permitted amount
of the then outstanding Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing
the number of Voting Securities then outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned by the Subject
Person; provided that if a Change of Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition
of Voting Securities by the Company and, after such acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner
of any additional Voting Securities and such Beneficial Ownership increases the percentage of the then outstanding Voting Securities
Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change of Control shall occur. For the avoidance of doubt, a direct or indirect
change of control or other sale or disposition of securities of an entity that is a shareholder of the Company shall not constitute
a Change of Control.

 

		(g)	Code: The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor thereto.

 

		(h)	Company: Tradeweb Markets Inc., a Delaware corporation, and any successor thereto by merger,
consolidation or otherwise.

an employment or retention agreement that defines such term, the meaning given therein, and (ii) in all other cases, the Participant
is unable to perform the essential functions of his or her position with the Company as a result of a physical or mental illness
or incapacity for a continuous period of 180 days.

 

		(k)	Effective Time: September 1, 2015.

 

		(l)	Employment: As used herein shall be deemed to refer to (i) a Participant’s employment
if the Participant is an employee of the Company Group or (ii) a Participant’s services as a consultant if the Participant
is a consultant to the Company Group.

in accordance with the procedure described in Section 3.

 

		(n)	Fair Market Value: The closing price at the close of the primary trading session of the
Shares on the trading day immediately preceding the date of determination on the principal national securities exchange on which
the Shares are listed or admitted to trading as officially quoted in the consolidated tape of transactions on such exchange or
such other source as the Board deems reliable for the applicable date, or if there has been no such closing price of the Shares
on such date, on the next preceding date on which there was such a closing price.

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

		(o)	Participant: An employee or consultant who is selected to participate in the Plan pursuant
to Section 4.

the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

Year in which an Award was granted and the Vesting Date applicable to such Award.

Plan Year, the Board, following consultation with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, will establish a new Performance
Modifier calculation by amending the EPS Calculation Appendix as it applies to such Plan Year.

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

		4.	Annual Grant Process

 

Grants relating to each
Plan Year shall be communicated to all Participants (other than newly hired Participants or Participants who receive new or additional
grants) on or as soon as reasonably practicable following February 15 of such Plan Year. Grants will be communicated to each Participant
as an initial target value and a number of PRSUs.

 

		5.	Administration

 

Subject to the express
limitations of the Plan, the Board shall have authority in its discretion to determine the employees and consultants of the Company
Group to whom, and the time or times at which, Awards may be granted, the initial target value of and the number of PRSUs subject
to each Award, the time or times at which an Award will become vested and any other terms or conditions of an Award; provided,
that, the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company shall, on an annual basis, provide the Board with a summary
of all Awards granted during the relevant calendar year (including the name of each Participant and the initial target value and
number of PRSUs granted to each Participant during such calendar year). Subject to the foregoing, Awards may, in the discretion
of the Board, be granted under the Plan in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by the
Company or any member of the Company Group or by a company acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines (any such
awards issued to employees of a company acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines, “Acquired Group Substitution
Awards”). Except as provided herein, the Board is authorized to interpret the Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any
rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make any other determinations that it deems necessary or desirable for the administration
of the Plan. The Board may amend the terms of any PRSU Agreement, provided, that, no such amendment shall be made
without the consent of the affected Participant, if such action would diminish any of the rights of such Participant under such
PRSU Agreement. The Board may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan in the manner
and to the extent the Board deems necessary or desirable. Any decision of the Board made in good faith in the interpretation and
administration of the Plan, except as otherwise provided herein, shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion and shall be
final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned (including, without limitation, Participants and their beneficiaries or
successors). The Board shall have the full power and authority to (1) establish the terms and conditions of any Award consistent
with the provisions of the Plan, (2) to waive any such terms and conditions at any time (including, without limitation, accelerating
or waiving any vesting conditions), and (3) to determine whether the applicable terms and conditions of any EPS Calculation Appendix
have been satisfied and conclusively determine the Performance Modifier applicable to Awards granted in any Plan Year in accordance
therewith.

 

		6.	Limitations

 

No Awards may be granted
under the Plan after the regularly scheduled grants in respect of the 2019 Plan Year, but Awards theretofore granted may extend
beyond that date.

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

		7.	Terms and Conditions of PRSUs

 

Except as otherwise determined
by the Board and as set forth in the applicable PRSU Agreement, PRSUs granted under the Plan shall be subject to the foregoing
and the following terms and conditions:

 

		(a)	Number of PRSUs Granted. The number of PRSUs granted pursuant to any PRSU Agreement shall
equal the initial target dollar amount of a Participant’s Award, divided by the Fair Market Value on the date of issuance,
rounded to the nearest one thousandth of a PRSU.

 

		(b)	Vesting. PRSUs will vest on January 1 following the end of the 3rd Plan Year
in which the Award is outstanding (each a “Vesting Date”). If a Participant’s Employment terminates before
the Vesting Date applicable to an Award, no amounts will be payable hereunder with respect to such Award unless the Participant’s
Employment was terminated by the Company without Cause within 180 days before the relevant Vesting Date, or on account of his or
her death, Disability or Retirement, in which case the Participant will be entitled to retain a pro rated number of PRSUs, which
shall remain eligible for payment in accordance with Section 7(d) below (including application of any Performance Modifier). For
purposes of the foregoing, the pro rated number of PRSUs a Participant shall be entitled to retain shall be calculated by multiplying
the total number of PRSUs awarded by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days worked since the beginning of the
first Plan Year in which the relevant Award was granted and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Vesting
Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the CEO (with the approval of the Board, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned)
shall have the authority to establish special vesting schedules for individuals hired after February 15 of any Plan Year, which
shall be set forth in the Participant’s PRSU Agreement. (For the sake of clarity, however, the Performance Modifier applicable
to any such PRSUs shall be the Performance Modifier applicable to PRSUs issued to other Participants in the same calendar year.)
If the vesting period under such Participant’s PRSU Agreement is two (2) calendar years or less, then the Participant’s
total payout pursuant to Section 7(d) below shall be prorated based on a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days
between the date of grant and the relevant Vesting Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Vesting
Period applicable to other Awards made in respect of the same Plan Year.

 

		(c)	Dividend Equivalent Rights. PRSUs will accumulate dividend equivalent rights in respect
of any dividends paid on Shares (on a one Share to one PRSU basis) from January 1 of the Plan Year in which the relevant Award
was granted (or from the grant date for Participants hired after February 15 of any Plan Year (or such later date as grants are
made to existing employees generally)) through the relevant Vesting Date. To the extent the PRSUs that gave rise to any dividend
equivalent right are forfeited in accordance with

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

Section 7(b)
above, those dividend equivalent rights will be forfeited. Dividend equivalent rights accumulated under this Section 7(c) and not
forfeited shall be added to, and be paid at the same time as, payments in respect of the related PRSUs pursuant to Section 7(d)
below.

 

		(d)	Payment. Each Award shall entitle the Participant to receive a cash payment from the Company
calculated by (i) multiplying the number of Vested PRSUs subject to the Award by the Performance Modifier associated with
such Award and (ii) multiplying the result in clause (i) by the Fair Market Value on the date of payment and (iii) adding
to the result in clause (ii) the product of any dividend equivalent rights payable pursuant to Section 7(c) multiplied by
the Performance Modifier associated with such Award. Payments pursuant to this Section 7(d) shall be made in the month of March
following the end of the Vesting Period related to an Award. In all cases, payments pursuant to this Section 7(d) shall be made
in the calendar year following the end of the Vesting Period.

 

		(e)	Termination For Cause. Notwithstanding anything herein, if a Participant’s Employment
is terminated by the Company for Cause at any time prior to the payment of an Award, the Participant shall forfeit all right to
payment with respect to such Award (including with respect to Vested PRSUs).

 

		8.	Adjustments Upon Certain Events

 

Notwithstanding any other
provisions in the Plan to the contrary, except as otherwise determined by the Board and set forth in the applicable PRSU Agreement,
the following provisions shall apply to all Awards granted under the Plan:

 

		(a)	Generally. In the event of any extraordinary cash or share distribution, or share split,
reverse split, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, repurchase, issuance of warrants, rights or debentures, merger,
consolidation, spin-off, split-up, combination or exchange of shares or other similar exchange, or any distribution to holders
of shares or any transaction similar to the foregoing, the Board, without liability to any person, shall take such equitable actions
as are appropriate in its reasonable judgment to preserve the economic rights of affected Participants, whether by adjusting the
terms of an Award (including the Performance Modifier applicable to such Award and the manner of calculation thereof), the Available
Pool, the underlying security to which an Award relates or by such other means as the Board shall determine.

 

		(b)	Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, the Board shall either (A) take
equitable actions to preserve the economic rights of affected Participants as provided in Section 8(a) above (which may include,
if the Board determines it to be equitable, taking no action—for example, in the case of a transaction in which the equity
capitalization and business of the Company is unaffected) or (B) provide that (i) the Fair Market Value for

 

    	 	8	 

     

    

 

purposes
of determining the value of a PRSU shall be fixed at the per Share consideration received in connection with such Change of Control,
and (ii) the Performance Modifier shall be (1) based on actual performance if the Change of Control is within twelve (12)
months of the Vesting Date, (2) based on the Company’s average EPS over the preceding two years if the Change of Control
is between 12 and 24 months from the Vesting Date, or (3) 100% if the Change of Control is more than 24 months from the
Vesting Date, and, in the case of either (A) or (B), payment with respect to Vested PRSUs shall continue to be made in accordance
with Section 7(d) above. For the sake of clarity, unless the Board takes any action to the contrary in connection with a Change
of Control, the vesting conditions applicable to all outstanding Awards shall continue to apply, subject to Section 8(d) below.

 

		(c)	Qualified Change of Control. In the event of a Qualified Change of Control, the Board may
within the 30 days preceding or the 12 months following such Qualified Change of Control, accelerate the vesting of all outstanding
Awards (including related dividend equivalent rights) and make a cash payment in respect thereof to Participants within the 12
month period following such action, all to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedural requirements of Treas.
Reg. § 1-409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(B). If such Qualified Change of Control occurs more than 12 months prior to the end of the Vesting
Period applicable to an Award, the Performance Modifier applicable to such Award shall be (1) based on the Company’s
average EPS over the preceding two years if the Change of Control is between 12 and 24 months from the Vesting Date, or (2)
100% if the Change of Control is more than 24 months from the Vesting Date. If such Qualified Change of Control occurs less than
12 months prior to the end of the Vesting Period applicable to an Award, payment shall not be made pursuant to this Section 8(c)
until the Performance Modifier applicable to such Award has been established (and the Board’s resolution to terminate the
Plan shall be made at such time as would permit payment pursuant to the foregoing sentence to be made without violating Code Section

is terminated without Cause within six (6) months following a Change of Control, that Participant’s outstanding PRSUs shall

		9.	No Right to Employment or Awards; No Obligation for Uniformity

under the Plan shall impose no obligation on the Company or any Affiliate of the Company to continue the Employment of a Participant
and shall not lessen or affect the Company’s or such Affiliate’s right to terminate the Employment of such Participant.
No Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Awards, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment
of Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Board’s determinations
and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant (whether or not such Participants
are similarly situated).

The rights and obligations
under the Plan shall be binding on and inure to all predecessors, successors and permitted assigns of the Company and any Participant,

receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Participant’s creditors.

An Award shall not be
transferable or assignable by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

 

		12.	Amendments or Termination

 

The Board may amend,
alter or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made without the consent of a Participant,
if such action would diminish any of the rights of such Participant under any Awards theretofore granted to such Participant under
the Plan; provided, however, that the Board may amend the Plan in such manner as it reasonably deems necessary to
comply with applicable law or to avoid the application of any tax penalty to any Award.

 

		13.	International Participants

 

With respect to Awards
which may be subject to the laws of jurisdictions outside the United States of America, the Board may, in its sole discretion,
amend the terms of the Plan or Awards with respect to such Participants in order to conform such terms to the requirements of such
local law.
