 Exhibit 10.9 
  
 LEGG MASON, INC. 
  
 1996 Equity Incentive Plan 
  
 NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
  
 Legg Mason, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants to you an option to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $.10 par value (the
“Shares”), at $             per share, pursuant to the Legg Mason, Inc. 1996 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The date of grant of the option provided hereby
shall for all purposes be                     . This option is intended to be a non-qualified stock option for purposes of the Internal
Revenue Code. 
  
 This option is subject in all respects to the
applicable provisions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. In addition to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan, all terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement,
including the following, are applicable to the option granted by this Agreement: 
  
 (1) Issuance of the Shares 
  
 The Company may postpone the issuance and delivery of any Shares until the completion or amendment of any registration or qualification of the Shares, under any federal or state law, rule or regulation which the Company may determine to be
necessary or advisable. In the event that, at the time of issuance of the Shares to you pursuant to exercise of the option provided by this Agreement, there shall not be in effect a current registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933
(the “Act”) with respect to such issuance, you shall, prior to issuance of the Shares to you (a) represent to the Company, in form satisfactory to counsel for the Company, that you are acquiring the Shares for your own account and not with
a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and (b) agree that none of the Shares issued to you pursuant to exercise of the option provided hereby may be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless: (i) a registration statement under the Act
shall be effective at the time of disposition with respect to the Shares sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of; (ii) the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel or other information and representations, satisfactory to it to the
effect that registration under the Act is not required by reason of Rule 144 under the Act or otherwise; or (iii) a “no-action” letter shall have been received from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission to the effect that
such sale, transfer or other disposition may be made without registration. 
  
 (2) Normal Vesting 
  
 Except as provided in Section (3) below, vesting shall be in accordance with the vesting schedule provided with this Agreement. To the extent not exercised, installments shall accumulate and be exercisable by you in whole or in part during
the exercise period described in Section (4) below. 
  
 (3)
Accelerated Vesting 
  
 (a) If your
employment is terminated as a result of your death or “Permanent Disability,” all of your then unvested option rights shall become vested and exercisable on and after the date of the termination of your employment. For purposes of this
Agreement, you will be considered to have suffered a “Permanent Disability,” if you are unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to
result in your death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. 
  
 (b) In the event that a proposed merger, consolidation, sale of assets or tender or exchange offer is not approved by the affirmative vote of 75% or more
of the directors who are members of the Company’s Board of Directors prior to the proposal of such merger, consolidation, sale of assets or tender or exchange offer, all of your then unvested option rights shall become immediately vested and
exercisable upon: (i) the approval by stockholders of the Company of an agreement to merge or consolidate the Company with or into another 

 
corporation (with the Company not surviving) or to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets and the satisfaction or waiver of all
conditions precedent to the closing thereunder; or (ii) a determination by the Board of Directors of the Company that in connection with the proposed tender or exchange offer for voting securities of the Company, any person has become the direct or
indirect beneficial owner of securities representing 40% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities. 
  
 (c) In addition, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company or the Board of Directors of the Company
may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of any part or all of the option rights under this Agreement. 
  
 (4) Option Exercise Period 
  
 This option may not be exercised prior to vesting. Upon the termination of your employment, any options that are not yet vested (after taking into account
any accelerated vesting provided for in Section (3) of this Agreement) shall expire immediately. To the extent not exercised, vested options shall expire on
                    , unless they expire sooner as provided below: 
  
 (a) To the extent not previously exercised, vested options shall expire immediately upon the termination of
your employment for cause. 
  
 (b) To the extent
not previously exercised, vested options shall expire on the first anniversary of the termination of your employment as a result of your death or Permanent Disability. 
  
 (c) To the extent not previously exercised, vested options shall expire three months after the termination
of your employment for any reason other than the termination of your employment for cause or the termination of your employment as a result of your death or Permanent Disability. In the event of your death during the post-employment exercise period,
the exercise period shall be extended to the first anniversary of the termination of your employment. 
  
 (5) Transferability 
  
 During your lifetime, this option shall be exercisable only by you and shall not be transferable. Any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, or to subject to execution, attachment or
similar process, this option contrary to the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, shall be void and of no effect, shall give no right to the purported transferee, and shall result in forfeiture of the option involved in such attempt.

  
 (6) Exercise Notice 
  
 This option is exercisable solely by written notice to the Company. Each
such notice shall: 
  
 (a) state the election to
exercise the stock option and the number of shares in respect of which it is being exercised; 
  
 (b) be signed by you or, in the event of your death or permanent disability, by your personal representative; and 
  
 (c) be accompanied by (i) cash, check, bank draft or money
order in the amount of the option price payable to the order of the Company or (ii) certificates for shares of the Company’s Common Stock (together with duly executed stock powers) or other written authorization as may be required by the
Company to transfer shares of such Common Stock to the Company, with an aggregate value equal to the option price of the Shares being acquired or (iii) a combination of the consideration described in clauses (i) and (ii). You may transfer shares of
Common Stock to pay the option price for shares being acquired pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above only if such transferred shares (x) were acquired by you in open market transactions or (y) have been owned by you for longer than six months.
Unless otherwise determined by the 

  

 2 

 
Committee subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the value of any shares of the Company’s Common Stock delivered in full or partial payment of the
option price shall be determined on the basis of the mean between the high and low prices per share on the New York Stock Exchange on the business day preceding the date of delivery of the shares (or the next preceding business day on which trading
occurred if there was no trading on the preceding business day). 
  
 In addition to the exercise methods described above, you may exercise the option through a procedure whereby you deliver to the Company an irrevocable notice of exercise in exchange for the Company issuing the shares of the Company’s
Common Stock subject to the option to a broker previously designated or approved by the Company, which broker may be Legg Mason Wood Walker, Incorporated, (the “Broker”) versus payment of the option price by the broker to the Company,
subject to such rules and procedures as the Committee may determine. 
  
 For all purposes of the Plan, the date of exercise shall be the date on which notice and any required payment shall have been delivered to the Company. You shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any of the Shares
subject to this option until the Shares have been issued to you upon the exercise of the option. 
  
 (7) Delivery of Notices 
  
 Any notice to be given to the Company (including notice of exercise of all or part of a stock option) shall be in writing and either hand delivered or mailed to the Company’s Stock Option Plan Administrator. If
mailed, it shall be addressed to the Stock Option Plan Administrator, at 100 Light Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202, or at such other address as the Company may designate by notice to you. Any notice given to you shall be addressed to you at your
address as reflected on the personnel records of the Company, or at such other address as you may designate by notice to the Company. Notice shall be deemed to have been duly delivered when hand delivered or, if mailed, at the close of business on
the day such notice is postmarked. 
  
 (8) Modification of
Agreement 
  
 This Agreement may be modified only
by the Committee or by the Company’s Board of Directors. No officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is authorized to bind the Company to a modification of any of the terms of the Agreement.

 LEGG MASON, INC. 
  
 1996 Equity Incentive Plan 
  
 RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT 
  
 Legg Mason, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants to you (the “Participant”), pursuant to the Legg Mason, Inc. 1996 Equity Incentive Plan
(the “Plan”), a restricted stock award (the “Award”) of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $.10 par value per share (the “Shares”), upon and subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth below. The
date of grant of the Award provided hereby (the “Grant Date”) shall for all purposes be                     , the date on which
incentive compensation is paid by the Company. 
  
 This Award is
subject in all respects to the applicable provisions of the Plan. Such provisions are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. Capitalized terms not defined herein that are defined in the Plan shall have the meanings specified in the
Plan. 
  
 In addition to the terms, conditions and restrictions
set forth in the Plan, all terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement are applicable to the Award granted hereby. 
  
 1. Rights as a Stockholder. 
  
 Commencing on the Grant Date, the Participant shall have the right to vote the Shares subject to this Award and to receive dividends and other
distributions thereon unless and until such shares are forfeited pursuant to Section 3 hereof; provided, however, that a dividend or other distribution (including, without limitation, a stock dividend or stock split), other than a cash dividend or
distribution, shall be delivered to the Company and shall be subject to the same vesting schedule and other restrictions as the Shares with respect to which such dividend or other distribution was made. In connection with the payment of such
dividends or other distributions, the Company may deduct any taxes or other amounts required by any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over to such authority for the account of Participant. The Participant shall be entitled to retain
cash dividends and distributions received regardless of whether the Shares with respect to which such dividends or distributions were made are subsequently forfeited pursuant to Section 3 hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, prior to
the date on which the Shares subject to this Award vest pursuant to Section 3 hereof, such Shares shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability contained in Section 4.1 hereof. 
  
 2. Custody and Delivery of Shares. 
  
 Shares subject to this Award (and any related property received under Section 1 hereof) will be issued in street name and
held in the Participant’s account at Legg Mason Wood Walker, Incorporated (“LMWW”). Participant may not receive share certificates representing unvested Shares subject to this Award. LMWW will reflect on the account the restrictions
under which the Shares are held and will not allow transfer of any Shares subject to the Award prior to the date on which such Shares vest pursuant to Section 3 below. Participant authorizes LMWW to deliver to the Company any Shares subject to this
Award that are forfeited pursuant to Section 3 below. Share certificates representing vested Shares will be issued only upon the request of Participant. The Company will pay all original issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to
the delivery of any Shares hereunder. 
  
 3. Vesting and
Forfeiture. 
  
 (a) Except as otherwise provided
in the Plan or this Agreement, the Shares subject to this Award shall vest, shall become transferable and shall cease to be subject to forfeiture (to “vest”) in accordance with the following schedule: thirty-three percent (33%) of the
Shares subject to this Award shall vest on each of                     ,
                     and
                    . 

 (b) All restrictions upon all Shares subject to this Award shall lapse, and all such Shares shall
immediately vest upon the earliest to occur of any of the following events: 
  

	 	(1)	a Change of Control (as defined below); or 

  

	 	(2)	the termination of Participant’s employment with the Company by reason of (i) his or her death or (ii) his or her Permanent Disability (as defined below); or

  

	 	(3)	The Participant’s death or Permanent Disability (as defined below) during the Participant’s Retirement (as defined below). 

  
 (c) In the event the Participant shall cease being employed by the Company or
its subsidiaries, for any reason other than Retirement (as defined below), prior to the date on which all Shares subject to this Award have vested pursuant to any of the preceding paragraphs of this Section 3, this Award shall immediately terminate,
on the date on which Participant’s employment terminates, with respect to all such Shares that have not vested and all the Shares subject to this Award that have not vested as of such date (together with any related property held by the Company
pursuant to Section 1 hereof) shall be forfeited to the Company. 
  
 (d) In the event the Participant shall cease being employed by the Company or its subsidiaries as a result of Retirement prior to the date on which all Shares subject to this Award have vested pursuant to any of the preceding paragraphs of
this Section 3, this Award shall not be terminated under paragraph (c) above and vesting of the Shares subject to this Award shall continue pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above so long as the Participant meets the definition of Retirement
provided below. If the Participant subsequently ceases to meet the definition of Retirement prior to the date on which all Shares subject to this Aware have vested pursuant to any of the preceding paragraphs of this Section 3, then this Award shall
immediately terminate, on the date on which Participant ceases to meet the definition of Retirement, with respect to all such Shares that have not vested and all the Shares subject to this Award that have not vested as of such date (together with
any related property held by the Company pursuant to Section 1 hereof) shall be forfeited to the Company. 
  
 (e) For purposes of this Agreement: 
  
 (1) a “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as (i) any “person” (as such term is used in
Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) other than an affiliate of the Company on the date hereof, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act), directly
or indirectly, of securities of the Company or a successor representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities having the ordinary right to elect directors of the Company or (ii) the Company’s
stockholders shall have approved any agreement providing for a merger in which the Company will not remain an independent publicly owned company or a consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, other than a transaction in which the Company or its stockholders own 50% or more of the combined voting power of the resulting entity. 
  
 (2) Participant shall be considered to have suffered a “Permanent Disability” if Participant is unable to engage in any
substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in Participant’s death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12
months. 
  
 (3) “Retirement” shall mean
that Participant has retired from the Company and is not employed by and does not otherwise represent, in any capacity other than as a non-employee director, any financial services company that competes with the Company or its subsidiaries. Whether
any particular financial services company competes with the Company or its subsidiaries shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

 Prior to the date on which Shares subject to this Award vest pursuant to
Section 3 hereof, such Shares may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any such attempted
sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance, or other disposition of such Shares shall be null and void. 
  
 4.2. Securities Laws. 
  
 Participant hereby represents and covenants that if in the future the Participant decides to offer or dispose of any Shares subject to this Award or
interest therein, the Participant will do so only in compliance with this Agreement, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all applicable state securities laws. As a condition precedent to the delivery to Participant of any Shares subject to
this Award, Participant shall comply with all regulations and requirements of any regulatory authority having control of or supervision over the issuance of the Shares and, in connection therewith, shall execute any documents and make any
representation and warranty to the Company which the Committee shall in its sole discretion deem necessary or advisable. 
  
 4.3. Adjustment. 
  
 In the event that there occurs (a) any change in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company through the declaration of dividends,
stock splits or the like or through any change in the capital account of the Company or any other transaction referred to in Section 424(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) or (b) any other change in the capital structure or in
the Common Stock of the Company, then, if applicable, the number and class of shares subject to this Award shall be adjusted as provided in the Plan. Any decision of the Committee regarding the amount and timing of any adjustment will be final and
conclusive. 
  
 4.4. Compliance with Applicable Law.

  
 This Award is subject to the condition that if the
listing, registration or qualification of the Shares subject to this Award upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action is necessary or desirable as a condition
of, or in connection with, the vesting or delivery of shares hereunder, the Shares subject to this Award may not be delivered, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or
obtained. The Company agrees to make every reasonable effort to effect or obtain any such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval. 
  
 4.5. Withholding; Tax Matters 
  
 (a) Participant will remit to the Company by check an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state or local withholding tax requirements, prior to the

hereby authorizes the Company to, withhold delivery of Shares or deduct amounts required to be withheld from payments of any kind by the Company or its subsidiaries to which Participant would otherwise be entitled, including without limitation
salary, bonus and other compensation. 
  
 (b) If Participant makes
the election provided under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed currently on the value of any Shares subject to this Award notwithstanding the restrictions placed upon such Shares (the “Section 83(b) Election”), Participant will promptly
notify the Company, will complete, sign and return to the Company

payments of withholding taxes by deducting amounts required to be withheld, plus interest thereon, from payments of any kind by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to which Participant would otherwise be entitled. 
  
 4.6. Award Confers no Rights to Continued Employment. 

 
 Nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement shall confer upon the
Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for a specified period of time or interfere with the right of the Company and its subsidiaries to terminate such employment at any time. 
  
 4.7. Decisions of Committee. 
  
 The Committee shall have the right to resolve all questions which may arise
in connection with this Award. Any interpretation, determination or other action made or taken by the Board of Directors of the Company or the Committee regarding the Plan or this Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
  
 5. Miscellaneous Provisions. 
  
 5.1. Successors; Assignments and Transfers. 
  
 This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any
successor or successors of the Company and any person or persons who shall, upon the death of the Participant, acquire any rights hereunder. The rights and interests of Participant under this Agreement may not be sold, assigned, encumbered or
otherwise transferred except in the event of death of Participant, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company without the Participant’s consent.
