                       RETIREMENT AND CONSULTING AGREEMENT

     This Agreement is made as of this 12th day of May, 2000, by and between
Norton H. Reamer ("Reamer") and United Asset Management Corporation
(alternatively "UAM" or the "Company").

     WHEREAS, Reamer is the founder, and since 1980 has been a director and
chief executive officer of the Company; and

     WHEREAS, Reamer wishes to retire from the Company and, in connection
therewith, the Company desires to provide certain retirement benefits to Reamer
and to engage Reamer to perform services for the Company, and Reamer desires to
perform such services, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

     NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

     In consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the parties
agree as follows:

     1.   INTERIM TERM. Reamer agrees to continue to serve as Chairman and CEO
of UAM until (i) such time that a new CEO is hired and commences employment at
UAM or (ii) September 21, 2000, whichever occurs earlier (the "Retirement
Date"), such time period from the date of this Agreement until the Retirement
Date being hereinafter referred to as the "Interim Term." During the Interim
Term, Reamer's current compensation and employee benefits shall continue as
before.

     2.   RETIREMENT. On the Retirement Date, Reamer's employment with UAM shall
terminate, and, effective on the Retirement Date, Reamer hereby resigns from all
of his positions as officer of UAM and as officer, director or trustee of any of
UAM's subsidiaries, affiliates and employee benefit trusts. If the Retirement
Date occurs prior to September 21, 2000 and provided

<PAGE>   2

there has not been a change in control of the Company, then, subject to the
fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors, from the Retirement Date until
September 21, 2000, Reamer will continue as a non-executive Chairman and a
member of the Board of Directors of UAM. After September 21, 2000, and provided
there has not been a change in control of the Company, Reamer will become
Founder and Chairman Emeritus. Subject to the fiduciary duties of the Board of
Directors, Reamer will be nominated as a director for election at the May 2000
Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company to serve until the May 2001 Annual
Meeting. After the May 2000 Annual Meeting, Reamer will be considered for
nomination to the Board in the same fashion as any other Director.

     3.   Severance and Other Payments. Within 60 days after the Retirement
Date, the Company shall pay Reamer in cash $2,549,190.00, which represents the
discounted present value of payments of $400,000 per year for eight years
following the Retirement Date, discounted at a rate of 6.00%. The Company and
Reamer agree that the $400,000 payment obligation shall be allocated as follows:

          (a)  retirement: $300,000 per year;

          (b)  consideration for Reamer's covenant not to compete set forth in
               Paragraph 11: $50,000 per year;

          (c)  consideration for Reamer's release of claims set forth in
               Paragraph 15: $50,000 per year.

     4.   CONSULTING TERM. The Company agrees to engage Reamer, and Reamer
agrees to serve as a consultant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement for a period commencing on the Retirement Date and ending on September
21, 2007. The period during

                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3

which Reamer is engaged as a consultant hereunder is hereinafter referred to as
the "Consulting Period."

     5.   DUTIES AND SERVICES. During the Consulting Period, Reamer shall
consult with the officers and directors of the Company with respect to the
business and finance of the Company, as may be reasonably requested by the
Company from time to time. Reamer will perform this work according to the
dictates of his own schedule. In performance of his assignments hereunder,
Reamer shall report to the CEO of the Company and, if requested, the Board of
Directors. Reamer agrees to his engagement as described in this Section 4 and
agrees to devote as much of his time and efforts to the performance of his
services under this Agreement as shall be reasonably necessary for the
performance thereof.

     6.   CONSULTING FEE. As compensation during the Consulting Period for his
services hereunder, the Company shall pay Reamer a consulting fee payable every
month in equal installments at the annual rate of $400,000. During the
Consulting Period, Reamer will work as an independent contractor and not as an
employee.

         7. HEALTH CARE INSURANCE. After the Retirement Date, Reamer and his
spouse will be entitled to extend Company health insurance benefits under and
subject to the terms of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
("COBRA"). The Company will pay all premiums for Reamer's health insurance under
COBRA until September 21, 2000, at which time Reamer will become eligible for
Medicare coverage. Beginning on September 21, 2000 through the end of the
Consulting Period, the Company will provide Reamer supplemental Medex 3 health
care coverage or comparable coverage at the Company's expense. After the
retirement date, the Company will pay all premiums under COBRA for health
insurance coverage for Reamer's spouse for as long as she is eligible for
coverage under COBRA. When Reamer's

                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4

spouse ceases to be eligible for health insurance coverage under COBRA, the
Company will purchase an individual insurance policy which shall provide her
with coverage equivalent to what she received under the Company's group policy
which coverage shall remain in effect until January 6, 2007. Beginning on
January 6, 2007 through the end of the Consulting Period, the Company will
provide Reamer's spouse supplemental Medex 3 health care coverage or comparable
coverage at the Company's expense.

     8.   EXPENSES. During the Consulting Period, and subject to acceleration
under Paragraph 9(c) the Company shall provide Reamer with: (a) appropriate
office space in a downtown Boston office building; (b) a full-time secretary.
The Company will also reimburse Reamer for reasonable travel and other expenses
related to the Company's business.

     9.   OTHER BENEFITS.

     (a)  STOCK OPTIONS. (i) During the Consulting Period, Reamer will be
entitled to continue to vest in and exercise options to purchase Company stock
granted to him, in accordance with the provisions of the stock option plans and
agreements applicable to him and the terms of said options, subject to Paragraph
9(a)(ii) below. No further options will be granted to Reamer after February 10,
2000. The Company will take such actions as may be necessary to amend Reamer's
stock options to permit him to continue to vest and to continue to have exercise
rights through the Consulting Period.

     (ii) In the event that Reamer elects to accelerate his consulting payments
pursuant to Paragraph 9(c) below and on the date that Reamer so elects (the
"Acceleration Date"), each of Reamer's outstanding stock options will be amended
to provide (A) for the automatic vesting in full of such option on the
Acceleration Date, and (B) that Reamer may purchase in whole or in part within
twelve months after the Acceleration Date the shares available to Reamer on the

                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5

Acceleration Date provided that the expiration date of the option to purchase
such shares shall not have occurred.

     (b)  GENERAL. All other benefits Reamer has earned through the Retirement
Date will be accrued and paid in accordance with the terms of the applicable
benefit plans. Except as provided in Paragraphs 1, 6, 7, 8 and 9(a) , Reamer
will not earn, accrue or be entitled to any further payments or benefits after
the Retirement Date specifically including payments of benefits under any
existing salary continuation plans or change-in-control arrangements. Reamer
expressly agrees that, except as expressly provided under the terms of this
Agreement, the Company owes him no further salary, bonus pay, severance pay,
vacation pay, sick pay, automobile or transportation pay or reimbursements,
expense reimbursements, or any other form of remuneration or benefit whatsoever.

     (c)  ACCELERATION OF BENEFITS. (i) Reamer shall have the right at any time,
prior to the termination of the Consulting Period, to accelerate the payment of
the benefits set forth in Paragraphs 7 and 8(a) and (b). For the purpose of this
calculation the annual value of benefits to Reamer shall deemed to be $120,000
and shall not be subject to any cost-of-living adjustment nor shall it be
subject to any discounting.

     (ii) Reamer shall have the right at any time, prior to the termination of
the Consulting Period, to accelerate the payment of any unpaid portion of the
Consulting Fee set forth in Paragraph 6, subject to a reduction of such fee to
$375,000 per annum, at the discounted present value, calculated based on a
discount rate of 6.00%, at the time of such acceleration.

     10.  CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-DISPARAGEMENT.

     (a)  CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION. Without limiting any other
obligations of confidentiality or similar obligations to the Company to which
Reamer is subject (the "Other

                                      -5-
<PAGE>   6

Obligations"), Reamer agrees that he will not at any time reveal to any person,
firm, corporation or other entity, any confidential research, development,
commercial or business information of the Company.

     (b)  NON-DISPARAGEMENT. Reamer covenants and agrees that, from and after
the date of this Agreement, he will not make or assist others to make statements
that are critical of UAM, injure UAM's reputation or are otherwise adverse to or
inconsistent with UAM's best interests, whether in private or in public. UAM
covenants and agrees to instruct its management personnel, from and after the
date of this Agreement, to refrain from making or assisting others in making
statements that are critical of Reamer, injure Reamer's reputation or are
otherwise adverse to or inconsistent with Reamer's best interests, whether in
private or in public.

     (c)  BREACH. Reamer acknowledges that the confidentiality provisions set
forth in Paragraph 10(a) were a significant, material factor in UAM's decision
to enter into this Agreement. In the event of a material breach of any of those
provisions or of any of the Other Obligations, Reamer shall forfeit his right to
receive any unpaid payments described in Paragraph 6 of this Agreement, UAM's
obligation to make such payments shall thereafter cease, Reamer shall forfeit
his rights, if any, under Paragraphs 7 and 8 and Paragraph 9(a), and the
Consulting Period shall terminate immediately. In addition, in the event of a
material breach, Reamer shall be liable to the Company for any and all damages
suffered by UAM as a result of such breach. Reamer agrees that a breach of
Paragraph 10(a) or of the Other Obligations may cause damage for which there is
no adequate remedy at law and that therefore the Company will have the right to
injunctive or other equitable relief in addition to any other relief that may be
available.

                                      -6-

     11.  COMPETITIVE ACTIVITY. Reamer covenants and agrees that during the
Interim Term and the Consulting Period, Reamer shall not, unless acting with the
Company's express written consent:

     (a)  directly or indirectly, solicit, entice away or interfere with the
Company's contractual relationship with any subsidiary, customer, client,
officer or employee of the Company; or

     (b)  provide services, whether as owner, partner, investor, consultant,
agent, employee, co-venturer, stockholder, director or otherwise, for Affiliated
Managers Group, Inc., Liberty Financial Companies, Nvest L.P., Value Asset
Management, Inc. or any similar holding company acquiror of investment
management firms. In addition, Reamer covenants and agrees that during the
Interim Term and the Consulting Period, Reamer shall not provide services,
whether as owner, partner, investor, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer,
stockholder, director or otherwise, to:

     (i)  an investment management firm, if in connection with providing such
services, Reamer is knowingly, directly or indirectly on behalf of such firm,
pursuing, finding acquisitions or actually working on acquisitions of an
investment management firm which is at that time a Company Target (as defined
below);

     (ii) an investment banking firm, other financial institution, or other
firm, if, in connection with providing such services, Reamer is knowingly,
directly or indirectly on behalf of such firm, representing potential buyers or
sellers of an investment management firm which is at that time a Company Target;
or

                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8

     (iii) a venture capital or MBO firm, if, in connection with providing such
services, Reamer is knowingly part of a group working, directly or indirectly on
behalf of such firm, to invest in or acquire an investment management firm which
is at that time a Company Target.

     A "Company Target" is an investment management firm in which the Company
intends to pursue the acquisition of an equity interest, or from which the
Company intends to pursue the acquisition of a significant portion of such
firm's assets, or with which the Company intends to pursue a merger. Reamer
shall immediately withdraw from any activity in breach of paragraphs (i)-(iii)
upon learning that a particular investment management firm is a Company Target,
unless the Company provides express written consent after Reamer learns that a
particular investment firm is a Company Target.

     Notwithstanding the prohibition in paragraph (b) above, Reamer may provide
services, whether as owner, partner, investor, consultant, agent, employee,
co-venturer, stockholder, director or otherwise, for a holding company acquiror
of investment management firms which he founds and for which he serves as Chief
Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board, or both, provided however that
Reamer has not received any payments under Sections 6, 7, 8 or 9(c) of this
Agreement or served as a director of the Company within the preceding six (6)
months.

     If Reamer shall materially breach the covenant contained in this Paragraph
11, then the Interim Period or the Consulting Period, as the case may be, and
all obligations of the Company to Reamer under Paragraphs 1, 3, 6, 7, 8 and 9,
hereof, will end on the date on which Reamer materially breaches the covenant.
In addition, in the event of a material breach, Reamer shall be liable to the
Company for any and all damages suffered by UAM as a result of such material
breach. Reamer agrees that a material breach of this Paragraph 11 will
irreparably harm the Company and cause damage for which there is no adequate
remedy at law. Therefore, the

                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9

Company will accordingly have the right to injunctive or other equitable relief
from a court in addition to any other relief that may be available.

     12.  TERMINATION.

     (a)  Notwithstanding anything herein contained, if on or after the date
hereof and prior to the end of the Consulting Period, Reamer shall be convicted
of a crime involving moral turpitude, shall commit any act involving dishonesty,
disloyalty, or fraud with respect to the Company, shall be grossly negligent or
engage in willful misconduct with respect to the Company, or shall materially
breach this Agreement then, and in each such case, the Company shall have the
right to give notice of termination of Reamer's services hereunder as of a date
(not earlier than 10 days from such notice) to be specified in such notice, and
this Agreement shall terminate on the date so specified. In such event, Reamer
shall be entitled to receive only his consulting fees at the rate provided in
Paragraph 6 to the date on which termination shall take effect, and the
Consulting Period shall end on that date. In the event of a termination pursuant
to this Paragraph 12(a), Reamer shall repay to the Company any payments
previously accelerated pursuant to Paragraph 9(c).

     (b)  If Reamer dies during the Consulting Period, or prior to the
commencement of the Consulting Period, his estate or beneficiary will be
entitled to the acceleration of any payments remaining due under Paragraph 6 and
the portion of other benefits set forth in Paragraphs 7 and 8(a) and (b) which
remain unpaid. The payments remaining due under Paragraph 6 shall be at their
discounted present value calculated based on a discount rate of 6.00% at the
time of his death. For the purposes of Paragraph 8(a) and (b), the annual value
of such benefits to Reamer shall be deemed to be $120,000 and shall not be
subject to any cost-of-living adjustment nor shall it be subject to any
discounting.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10

     13.  TAX INDEMNITY. Reamer agrees that he shall be exclusively liable for
the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, if any, which may be due as a
result of the consideration paid as set forth in this Agreement, and Reamer
hereby represents that he shall make payments of such taxes at the times and in
the amounts required by law.

     14.  GENERAL RELEASE.

Agreement including, without limitation, claims arising out of or in any way
related to Reamer's employment relationship with the Company and/or the change

     15.  AGE DISCRIMINATION RELEASE. In consideration of the Company's

                                   ENDORSEMENT

     I have read the foregoing Agreement, Release and Waiver (the "Agreement")
and understand that it applies to and covers all claims heretofore arising,
whether or not known or suspected to exist at the present time, out of my
employment with United Asset Management Corporation (the "Company"), including
any rights and claims that I may have under federal and state law on any grounds
whatsoever. In particular, I acknowledge that I have read Paragraphs 15 and 16
of the Agreement and that I understand and agree with each and all of its
representations. I was given the opportunity to consider this Agreement for at
least 21 days before signing it, but have voluntarily chosen to sign the
Agreement at this time, sooner than 21 days from its delivery to me, because my
attorney and I have been consulting with the Company and its counsel concerning
the issues that are to be resolved by the execution of this Agreement, and I
believe that I have given ample consideration, with the assistance of my
attorney, to the issues resolved by the Agreement and my rights under the law.

     I further acknowledge that I have executed this Agreement voluntarily and
with full understanding of its consequences and without being coerced in any
way.

     I declare under the penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and
correct.
