Exhibit 10.1  

 
 

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT    
    

        THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of the [    ] day of
[                        ,
            ], between Janus Capital Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
[                        ] (the "Grantee"). All capitalized terms used
herein, to the extent not defined, shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan, a copy of which is included with this Agreement. 

        In
consideration of the mutual promises and covenants made herein and the mutual benefits to be derived herefrom, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1.    Grant of Restricted Stock Award.    

        Subject
to the provisions of this Agreement and the Company's [PLAN NAME], as may be amended from time to time (the "Plan"), the Company hereby grants to the
Grantee as of [                        ,            ] (the "Grant
Date"), [            ] shares (the "Restricted Stock") of common stock of the Company,
par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"). In the event the Grantee fails to return an executed copy of this Agreement to the Company within sixty (60) days after the Company sends this
Agreement to you or Grantee fails to maintain the proper brokerage account with the Company's designated broker, the Company reserves the right to unilaterally terminate this Agreement and forfeit all
awards hereunder. 

2.    Vesting of Restricted Stock Award.    

        (a)   Except
as otherwise provided herein, in the Plan, by the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") and/or the applicable employment agreement (if any), the Restricted
Stock will become vested and no longer subject to any restriction on the vesting dates indicated below, provided that Grantee is providing Services (defined below) to the Company or one of its
Consolidated Subsidiaries [and subject to the satisfaction of applicable Section 162(m) performance criteria, if any,
as established by the Committee]. However, in the event that a vesting date occurs on a day when the New York Stock Exchange is closed, then such vesting date will be on the next business
day. 

	Vesting Dates
	 	Percentage Vesting

	[Vesting Schedule]

        [(b) The vesting schedule set forth in Section 2(a) above is subject to the following performance
accelerated vesting schedule based on the change in the Company's full year adjusted diluted earnings per share* (as calculated by the Company): 

	Change in EPS Result
 
	 	Total Vesting % Per Year,

Including Section 2(a)
	 	Incremental Vesting %

	Negative up to 10%	 	25	%	-0-	 
	10.1–15%	 	30	%	+5	%
	15.1–20%	 	35	%	+10	%
	20.1–25%	 	40	%	+15	%
	25.1–50%	 	45	%	+20	%
	> 50%	 	50	%	+25	%

	*
	As
presented in the Company's annual earnings release, after review by the Company's Audit Committee.]

        (c)   For
purposes of this Agreement: (i) "Services" shall mean the Grantee is providing services to the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary in the capacity as an
employee, a member of the board of directors of the parent company, a trustee of a Janus-affiliated investment company trust, or a consultant pursuant to a written consulting agreement; and
(ii) "Termination 

 

of
Affiliation" shall mean the first day when Grantee for any reason is no longer providing Services to the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary, or with respect to Grantee's status as an employee,
director or trustee of, or consultant to, an entity which is a Consolidated Subsidiary, the first day on which such entity ceases to be a Consolidated Subsidiary. 

        (d)   Notwithstanding
the provisions of [Section 2(a) and (b)], if there is a Change of Control (as defined in  Exhibit A hereto) or if Grantee has a Termination of Affiliation (defined above) with the Company due
to Retirement (subject to tax withholding
prior to termination), death or Disability, the Restricted Stock shall vest in full. Except as provided herein, in the event that Grantee has a Termination of Affiliation, all unvested Restricted
Stock, and any of Grantee's rights hereunder, shall be terminated, cancelled and forfeited effective immediately upon such Termination of Affiliation. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall
confer upon Grantee any right to continue providing Services to, or be in the employ of, the Company or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or
any such Consolidated Subsidiary to terminate Grantee's association or employment at any time. 

        (e)   Unfair Interference.    During Grantee's employment with the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary and during
the twelve months after Termination of Affiliation, Grantee shall not: (i) knowingly and directly solicit, hire or attempt to hire, or assist another in soliciting, hiring or attempting to
hire, on behalf of any Competitive Business, any person who is an employee or contractor of the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary; or (ii) knowingly and directly divert, attempt to divert,
or solicit, or assist another in diverting, attempting to divert or soliciting, the customer business of any Protected Client on behalf of a Competitive Business. For purposes of this section,
"Competitive Business" means any business that provides investment advisory or investment management services or related services; and "Protected Client" shall mean any person or entity to whom the
Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary provided investment advisory or investment management services at any point during the six months preceding Grantee's Termination of Affiliation. 

        (f)    In
accordance with the Plan, the Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate the vesting of all or a portion of the Restricted Stock or waive any or all of the terms
and conditions applicable to this Agreement. 

3.    Issuance of Shares.    

        Subject
to Section 9 (pertaining to the withholding of taxes), as soon as practicable after each vesting event under Section [2(a), (b) and/or (d)]
or if Grantee had a Termination of Affiliation pursuant to [Section 2(d)], as soon as practicable after such termination (in each case, provided there has been no prior
forfeiture of the Restricted Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Plan), the Company shall issue (or cause to be delivered) to the Grantee one or more unlegended stock certificates or
otherwise transfer shares with respect to the Restricted Stock vesting (or shall take other appropriate steps to reflect the Grantee's unrestricted ownership of all or a portion of the vested
Restricted Stock that is subject to this Agreement). 

4.    Nontransferability of the Restricted Stock.    

        Any
unvested shares of the Restricted Stock shall not be transferable by the Grantee by means of sale, assignment, exchange, encumbrance, pledge or otherwise. 

5.    Rights as a Stockholder.    

        Except
as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the Grantee shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Stock, including without limitation the
right to vote the Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividend payments. Dividends and distributions other than regular cash dividends, if any, may result in an adjustment pursuant to
Section 6. 

2

 

6.    Adjustment in the Event of Change in Stock.    

        In
the event that the Committee determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization,
stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision, consolidation or reduction of capital, reorganization, merger, scheme of arrangement, split-up, spin-off or combination involving
the Company or repurchase or exchange of Common Stock or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event that affects the
Common Stock such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the
Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number and type of shares, or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the Grantee or the
substitution of other property for shares of Restricted Stock; provided, that the number of shares of Restricted Stock shall always be a whole number. 

7.    Payment of Transfer Taxes, Fees and Other Expenses.    

        The
Company agrees to pay any and all original issue taxes and stock transfer taxes that may be imposed on the issuance of shares received by Grantee in connection with the Restricted
Stock, together with any and all other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection therewith. 

8.    Other Restrictions.    

        The
Restricted Stock shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Committee shall determine that (i) the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of
Common Stock subject or related thereto upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or (ii) the consent or approval of any government regulatory body, or (iii) an
agreement by the Grantee with respect to the disposition of shares of Common Stock is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the delivery or purchase of shares pursuant
thereto, then in any such event, the grant and/or vesting of Restricted Stock shall not be effective unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent,
approval or agreement shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. 

9.    Taxes and Withholding.    

        No
later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Grantee for federal income tax purposes with respect to any Restricted Stock, the Grantee
shall pay all federal, state, local and foreign taxes that are required by applicable laws and regulations to be withheld by either: (i) participating in the Company's program to have shares
withheld by the Company or its agent as set forth in Section 18 (provided that it will not result in adverse accounting consequences to the Company), or (ii) making other payment
arrangements satisfactory to the Company. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be conditioned on compliance by the Grantee with this Section 9. It is intended that the
foregoing provisions of this Section 9 shall normally govern the payment of withholding taxes; however, if withholding is not accomplished under the preceding provisions of this
Section 9, the Grantee agrees that the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Grantee, including
compensation or the delivery of the Restricted Stock that gives rise to the withholding requirement.

        The
interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to principles of conflict of laws, as applied

conditions of the Plan, which is hereby incorporated by reference. 

13.    Severability.    

        The
invalidity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. 

14.    Conflicts and Interpretation.

regulations relating to the Plan, and (iii) make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

        This
Agreement may not be modified, amended or waived except by an instrument in writing approved by both parties hereto or approved by the Committee. The waiver by either party of
compliance with any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any 

4

 

other
provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by such party of a provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan or in this Agreement, to
the extent that the Company determines that the Restricted Stock is subject to Section 409A of the Code and fails to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Company
reserves the right to amend, restructure, terminate or replace the Restricted Stock in order to cause the Restricted Stock to either not be subject to Section 409A of the Code or to comply with
the applicable provisions of such section.

A-2

   Exhibit B

(Restricted Stock Award Agreement—Share Withholding Program)  

1.    Definitions.    All capitalized terms used herein to the extent not defined below shall have the meaning set forth in the
Agreement. 

	a.
	The
"Program" shall mean the Company's share withholding program set forth below.

	b.
	"Common
Stock" shall mean the common stock of the Company.

	c.
	"Current
Grant Agreements" shall mean the terms and restrictions of the restricted stock award agreement(s), as may be amended, received by the Grantee in connection with one or more
grants of restricted Common Stock.

	d.
	"Grant
Agreements" shall mean the Current Grant Agreements together with additional grants of restricted Common Stock pursuant to the terms of subsequent award agreements. 

2.    Share Withholding Election.    The Grantee elects to satisfy his or her federal, state and local payroll and income tax
withholding obligations arising in connection with the vesting of restricted shares of Common Stock received by the Grantee upon a future vesting event under the Grant Agreements, as provided in
Section 3 below. The Grantee is electing to participate in this Program, in part, in order to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions provided by Rule 10b5-1 of the
rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

3.    Share Withholding.    The Grantee's share withholding election in Section 18 of Grantee's restricted stock award
agreement shall be binding on the Grantee. An election based on subsection 3(a) below will result in the sale of the approximate number of shares of Common Stock that will cover the minimum
withholding obligations. An election based on subsection 3(b) below will result in the sale of the number of shares of Common Stock to cover up to the approximate maximum tax rate. 

        (a)    Minimum Tax Withholding Rate.    By electing this Section 3(a) item (#1 election under Section 18
of the Agreement), the Grantee hereby authorizes and requests that the Company withhold from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Grantee in connection with any future vesting event
that number of shares of Common Stock having a value, based on the Fair Market Value on the applicable vesting date, approximately equal to the minimum statutory payroll and income tax withholding
rate (collectively, the "Withholding Rate") on the applicable vesting date. The Company agrees to pay over to the appropriate taxing authorities an amount approximately equal to the Fair Market Value
on the applicable vesting date of the shares of Common Stock withheld pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. For purposes of this Program, the Withholding Rate for non-employee
directors or any other person who is a party to one or more Grant Agreements but is not an employee of the Company shall be 0%, subject to the then-current laws and regulations related to
payroll and income tax. 

        (b)    Maximum Tax Withholding Rate.    By electing this Section 3(b) (#2 election under Section 18 of
the Agreement), the Grantee authorizes and requests that the Company take the actions set forth in Section 3(a) above. In addition, the Grantee hereby authorizes and requests that the Company's
designated broker (i) sell from the shares of Common Stock issued to the Grantee in connection with any future vesting event that number of shares of Common Stock generating cash proceeds,
after payment of any applicable brokerage fees as agreed to by the Grantee ("Proceeds"), approximately equal to the difference between the maximum statutory payroll and income tax withholding rates
and the minimum statutory payroll and income tax withholding rates on the applicable vesting date (such difference, the "Additional Tax Amount"), (ii) remit the Additional Tax Amount to the
Company and (iii) credit to the Grantee's account at the Company's designated broker an amount equal to the excess of such Proceeds over the Additional Tax Amount. All sales under the foregoing
provisions shall be made by the Company's designated broker on the applicable vesting date or as soon thereafter as 

B-1

 

practicable.
Subject to the foregoing provisions, the timing and manner of execution of any transaction shall be subject to principles of best execution as applied by the Company's designated broker.
The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company's designated broker, acting consistent with principles of best execution, may be unable to effect sales of the Common Stock due to the Common Stock
not trading in sufficient volume at or above a specified limit price, market rules on volume and price priority and precedence, legal or regulatory restrictions, or other factors. 

        The
Company agrees to promptly pay over to the appropriate taxing authorities the Additional Tax Amount upon receipt of such amount from the Company's designated broker. 

        The
Grantee acknowledges and agrees that he or she shall not exercise or attempt to exercise any influence over how, when or whether any sales of shares of Common Stock are made by the
Company's designated broker, except as set forth in the instructions included in this Program. 

        (c)   "Fair
Market Value" means, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Committee"), as of any applicable
measurement date, (i) the average of the high and low trading prices of the Common Stock on such date on the New York Stock Exchange (or, if no sale of Common Stock was reported for such date,
on the preceding date on which a sale of Common Stock was so reported); (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed on the New York Stock Exchange on the applicable measurement date, the average of
the high and low trading prices of the Common Stock on such other national exchange on which the Common Stock is principally traded or as reported by the Nasdaq National Market System, or similar
organization, or if no such quotations are available, the average of the high bid and low asked quotations in the over-the-counter market as reported by the National Quotation
Bureau Incorporated or similar organizations; or (iii) in the event that there shall be no public market for the Common Stock, the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined by the
Committee. 

        (d)   Shares
withheld or sold pursuant to this Program shall be deemed issued and delivered to the Grantee for all purposes of the Grant Agreements and the Company shall not
have any further obligation in respect of any such shares under the Grant Agreements or otherwise. 

        (e)   The
Grantee acknowledges and agrees that any federal, state, local or foreign tax obligations that exceed the value of the shares of Common Stock withheld pursuant to
this Program and/or the Additional Tax Amount remitted by the Company's designated broker to the Company (if applicable), including without limitation any payroll and income tax withholding
obligations in excess of the minimum statutory withholding obligations, shall remain the responsibility of the Grantee and must be paid in full by the Grantee in accordance with the Grant Agreements
and applicable law. 

4.    Compliance with Law.    The Grantee hereby irrevocably agrees that the sales of Common Stock pursuant to this Program shall be
automatically suspended or cancelled by the Company upon the occurrence of any of the following events: 

        (a)   The
death of the Grantee; 

        (b)   The
proposed sale or sales of Common Stock provided for by this Program would violate Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the Rules promulgated
thereunder, Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, or any other federal or state law or regulation; 

        (c)   The
Company's Board of Directors votes to suspend all trading of Common Stock; 

        (d)   The
Company commences a public offering of any of its equity securities; or 

        (e)   The
Company has merged, been acquired, or reorganized in any transaction which results in the Common Stock being exchanged or converted. 

B-2

 

5.    Miscellaneous.    

        (a)   The
interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Program shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any otherwise applicable
conflict of laws principles thereof that would apply the laws of any other state. 

        (b)   This
Program may not be modified, revoked, terminated, amended or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by all parties hereto. The waiver by either party of
compliance with any provision of this Program shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Program or of any subsequent breach by such party of this Program. Once per
calendar year, the Company may provide the Grantee with the opportunity to modify, revoke, terminate, amend, waive or otherwise alter the election made pursuant to this Program for future vesting
events. The Grantee shall not be permitted to do so at any other time or under any other circumstance unless approved by Company legal counsel. If this Program is so modified, amended or any provision
waived, no sales shall be made during the sixty calendar days immediately following such modification, amendment or waiver.

Mutual Fund Award. 

1.    Vesting of Mutual Fund Award.    

        (a)   Except

        (c)   For
purposes of this Agreement: (i) "Services" shall mean the Participant is providing services to the Company or

(55) and completed at least ten (10) years of Service with the Company or a Consolidated Subsidiary. 

        (d)   Notwithstanding
the provisions of [Sections 1(a) and 1(b)], if there is a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), or if Participant has a
Termination of Affiliation with the Company due to Retirement (subject to tax withholding prior to termination), death or Disability, the Mutual Fund Award shall vest in full. Except as provided
herein, in the event Participant has a Termination of Affiliation, all remaining unvested units of the Mutual Fund Award shall be forfeited by Participant effective immediately. Nothing in this
Agreement or the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to continue providing services to, or be in the employ of, the Company or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries or interfere in any way
with the right of the Company or any such Consolidated Subsidiary to terminate Participant's association or employment at any time. 

        (e)   Unfair Interference.    During Participant's employment with the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary and

terms and conditions applicable to this Agreement. 

2.    Allocation Elections.    

        (a)   During
the vesting period, Participant's award will be credited to Participant's Mutual Fund Share Investment Account ("Account"). The award will be deemed invested in
the phantom investments selected by Participant pursuant to online elections through the Plan administrative system (www.millimanonline.com) or as otherwise provided by the Company. Participant may
change the investment elections from time to time; provided, however, in no event shall Participant be able to make changes to the investment elections more than four (4) times per calendar
year and any such change should be effective within five (5) days after such election is made. 

        (b)   By
accepting this award, Participant acknowledges and agrees that (i) Participant will open a retail, non-retirement mutual fund account with Janus
directly, unless Participant already has such an account (does not apply to employees based outside of the United States); (ii) account balances are subject to any net appreciation or
depreciation accruing from time to time based on Participant's deemed investment election of the Account balance in accordance with Participant's allocation election(s) in effect from time to time;
(iii) Participant is solely responsible for any net appreciation or net depreciation in the balance of Participant's Account resulting from Participant's deemed investment elections;
(iv) the Company does not guarantee or represent in any manner whatsoever that Participant will realize any appreciation in the balance of the Account as a result of allocating the Account
balance for deemed investments in the Janus mutual funds; and (v) any 

2

 

allocation
elections must comply with the Company's pre-clearance and applicable prospectus requirements. Participant further agrees and acknowledges that Participant is under no
obligation to make a deemed investment election in any particular fund, and, if no such investment election is made, that the balance and any transfers in Participant's Account shall be deemed
invested in the Janus Money Market Fund or similar mutual fund if the Janus Money Market Fund is not available. 

3.    Distribution upon Vesting.    

        Subject
to the terms of the Plan, upon the vesting of all or a portion of Participant's Mutual Fund Award under Section 1, the value of the vested portion of Participant's Account
shall be distributed to Participant as soon as administratively practicable after the applicable vesting event. Any distribution shall be in the form of a lump sum cash payment (subject to applicable
withholdings), unless the Administrator makes an advance determination, in its discretion, to settle Participant's vested portion in a Janus retail account or in units of the mutual funds in which
Participant was invested on a phantom basis at the time such distribution is processed. Notwithstanding the above, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, to the extent that the Administrator
determines that the Mutual Fund Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code and fails to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the vested portion of such Mutual Fund
Award shall be distributed in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section 1(a) hereof; provided however, any portion of the Mutual Fund Award which is vested under another subsection of
Section 1 but has not yet been distributed shall be distributed upon the earlier occurrence of a permitted distribution event under Section 409A of the Code. 

4.    Taxes and Withholding.    

        No
later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in Participant's gross income for federal income tax purposes with respect to any Mutual Fund Award unit, the
Company shall withhold all federal, state, local and foreign taxes that are required by applicable laws and regulations to be withheld. 

5.    Amendment; Section 409A of the Code.    

        This
Agreement may not be modified, amended or waived except by an instrument in writing approved by both parties hereto or approved by the Committee. The waiver by either party of
compliance with any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by such party of a provision of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan or in this Agreement, to the extent that the Company determines that the Mutual Fund Award is subject to Section 409A
of the Code and fails to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Company reserves the right to amend, restructure, terminate or replace the Mutual Fund Award in order to
cause the Mutual Fund Award to either not be subject to Section 409A of the Code or to comply with the applicable provisions of such section. 

6.    Counterparts.    

        This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which together shall constitute one and the same original. This notice may be executed by the exchange of facsimile signature pages
provided that by doing so Participant agrees to provide an original signature as soon thereafter as possible. 

        Please
indicate your acceptance of this Mutual Fund Award by signing this Agreement in the space provided below and returning it to the Assistant Corporate Secretary's office in the
envelope provided within sixty (60) days after the Company sends this Agreement to you. This Agreement must be signed by both parties to this Agreement in order for this Mutual Fund Award to be

NOTE (does not apply to employees based outside of the United States): You must have an open retail, non-retirement mutual fund account with Janus directly (not
through a third party) in order to receive any proceeds or benefits from this Mutual Fund Award (including vesting). A failure to maintain such an account will subject this Mutual Fund Award to
cancellation and forfeiture.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan or in this Agreement, to the extent that the Company determines that the Option Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code and
fails to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Company reserves the right to amend, restructure, terminate or replace the Option Award in order to cause the Option Award
to either not be subject to Section 409A of the Code or to comply with the applicable provisions of such section.

JANUS CAPITAL GROUP INC.

DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY

NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AWARD  

        Subject to the terms of the Janus Capital Group Inc. (the "Company") [1998 Long Term Incentive Stock Plan, as may be amended from time to
time] (the "Plan"), and in connection with my non-qualified stock option award under the Plan, revoking any previous designation in connection with a non-qualified
stock option award under the Plan which may be inconsistent herewith, I hereby designate: 

	
(Beneficiary/Trust Name and Relationship)
	

Address

as
my beneficiary to receive upon my death the balance of my entire non-qualified stock option award benefits, if any, under the Plan. This designation of beneficiary shall be binding upon
my estate and upon my heirs and legatees, and the Company may rely hereon without further authorization from any representative of my estate or any other persons and without inquiring into the terms
of my Last Will and Testament or any Codicil thereto. If the beneficiary designated hereinabove shall have predeceased me or if the trust is revoked, then I direct that, upon my death, my estate shall
become the beneficiary of all my non-qualified stock option award benefits under the Plan to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. I reserve
the right to change, in writing, this designation of beneficiary at any time, and I understand that this designation shall not become effective until received by the Company's Corporate Secretary. 

        I
have executed this Designation of Beneficiary this    day of                        , 2006.

   Exhibit A
(Non-Qualified Stock Option Award Agreement)  

        1.    Manner of Exercise.    This Option Award shall be exercised by
delivering to the Company (or its authorized agent), during the period in which such Option Award is exercisable, (i) a written notice of your intent to purchase a specific number of Shares
pursuant to this Option Award (a "Notice of Exercise"), and (ii) full payment of the Option/Exercise Price for such specific number of Shares. Payment may be made by any one or more of the
following means: 

        (a)   cash
or personal check; or 

        (b)   if
approved and permitted by the Committee, through the delivery of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the day of exercise equal to such Option/Exercise Price (the
number of Shares may be initially estimated using the Fair Market Value on the last stock trading day preceding the exercise day, with a true-up of any differential effective as of the
exercise date), which Shares either (i) have been owned by you for at least six months ("Mature Shares") or (ii) were purchased by you on the open market. Certificates for Shares shall
be properly endorsed with signatures guaranteed (unless such signature guarantee is waived by an officer of the Company), and shall represent Shares which are fully paid, non-assessable,
and free and clear from all liens and encumbrances; or 

        (c)   if
approved and permitted by the Committee, through the sale of the Shares acquired on exercise of this Option Award through a broker to whom you have submitted
irrevocable instructions to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds sufficient to pay for such Shares, together with, if required by the Company, the amount of federal,
state, local or foreign withholding taxes payable by reason of such exercise. A copy of such delivery instructions must also be delivered to the Company by you with the Notice of Exercise. 

        The
exercise of the Option Award shall become effective at the time such a Notice of Exercise has been received by the Company, which must be before the tenth anniversary of the Grant
Date (the "Expiration Date"). You will not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Shares deliverable upon exercise of this Option Award until a certificate for such Shares
is delivered to you or the Shares are otherwise transferred to you. 

        If
the Option Award is exercised as permitted herein by any person or persons other than you, such Notice of Exercise shall be accompanied by such documentation as the Company may
reasonably require, including without limitation, evidence of the authority of such person or persons to exercise the Option Award and evidence satisfactory to the Company that any death taxes payable
with respect to such Shares have been paid or provided for. 

        2.    Exercisability After Termination of Affiliation or Change of
Control.    Notwithstanding the vesting schedule provided for in the Agreement, if there is a Change of Control (as defined in  Exhibit B), the Option
Award shall vest in full. This Option Award may be exercised only while you are providing Services to the Company or a
Consolidated Subsidiary, except that this Option Award may also be exercised after the date on which you cease providing Services ("Termination Date") in accordance with this section. This Option
Award shall become fully exercisable upon your Termination Date on account of (a) Retirement, (b) death or (c) Disability, as described below: 

        (a)   if
you have a Termination of Affiliation on account of Retirement, you may also exercise this Option Award at any time during the first five years after your Termination
Date; 

        (b)   if
you have a Termination of Affiliation on account of death, the executor or administrator of your estate, your heirs or legatees, or beneficiary designated in
accordance with the Plan, as applicable, may also exercise this Option Award at any time during the first 12 months after your Termination Date; 

A-1

 

        (c)   if
you have a Termination of Affiliation on account of Disability, you may also exercise this Option Award at any time during the first 12 months after your
Termination Date; 

        (d)   if
you have a Termination of Affiliation on account of any other reason (other than a dismissal for Cause), you may also exercise the portion of this Option Award that
is vested immediately prior to the Termination Date at any time during the first three (3) months after your Termination Date; 

provided,
however, that (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2 of this Exhibit A, this Option Award may be exercised after
your Termination Date only to the extent it is exercisable on the Termination Date, and (ii) under no circumstances may this Option Award be exercised on or after the Expiration Date. For
purposes of this Section 2, if you are employed by a corporation or limited liability company ("LLC") that is a Consolidated Subsidiary of the Company, you will be deemed to have had a
Termination of Affiliation as of the first day on which such corporation or LLC ceases to be a Consolidated Subsidiary of the Company. 

        3.    Unfair Interference.    During Grantee's employment with the
Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary and during the twelve months after Termination of Affiliation, Grantee shall not: (i) knowingly and directly solicit, hire or attempt to hire, or assist
another in soliciting, hiring or attempting to hire, on behalf of any Competitive Business, any person who is an employee or contractor of the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary; or
(ii) knowingly and directly divert, attempt to divert, or solicit, or assist another in diverting, attempting to divert or soliciting, the customer business of any Protected Client on behalf of
a Competitive Business. For purposes of this section, "Competitive Business" means any business that provides investment advisory or investment management services or related services; and "Protected
Client" shall mean any person or entity to whom the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary provided investment advisory or investment management services at any point during the six months preceding
Grantee's Termination of Affiliation 

        4.    No Waiver.    The failure of the Company in any instance to
exercise any of its rights granted under this Agreement or the Plan shall not constitute a waiver of any other rights that may arise under this Agreement. 

        5.    Limited Transferability of Option Award.    Except as provided
in the immediately following sentence, this Option Award is exercisable during your lifetime only by you or your guardian or legal representative, and this Option Award is not transferable except by
will or the laws of descent and distribution. To the extent and in the manner permitted by the Committee, and subject to such terms, conditions, restrictions or limitations that may be prescribed by
the Committee, you may transfer this Option Award to (i) your spouse, sibling, parent, child (including an adopted child) or grandchild (any of which is an "Immediate Family Member");
(ii) a trust, the primary beneficiaries of which consist exclusively of you or your Immediate Family Members; or (iii) a corporation, partnership or similar entity, the owners of which
consist exclusively of you or your Immediate Family Members. 

        6.    Fractional or De Minimis Shares.    The Option Award shall not
be exercisable with respect to a fractional share or with respect to fewer that ten (10) Shares, unless the remaining Shares, are fewer than ten (10). 

        7.    Nonstatutory Option Award.    This Option Award has been
designated by the Committee as a Nonstatutory Option Award; it does not qualify as an incentive stock Option Award. 

        8.    Taxes.    

        (a)   The
Company is not required to issue Shares upon the exercise of this Option Award unless you first pay to the Company such amount, if any, as may be required by the
Company to satisfy any liability it may have to withhold federal, state, local or foreign income or other taxes relating to such exercise. You may elect to satisfy such tax withholding obligation by
delivering to 

A-2

 

the
Company a written irrevocable election to have the Company withhold a portion of the Shares purchased upon exercise of the Option Award having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of taxes
required to be withheld; provided, however, that the Committee may, at any time before you file such an election with the Company, revoke your right to make such an election. 

        (b)   In
addition, you may deliver Mature Shares to the Company to satisfy your federal, state and local withholding tax liability above the minimum amount of taxes required
to be withheld by the Company, up to your maximum tax liability arising from the exercise of the Option Award; the Committee retains the right, in its sole discretion, to disapprove any particular
delivery of shares of Common Stock and the Committee may, at any time before the delivery of such shares, revoke your right to make such delivery. 

        9.    Attestation to Ownership of Mature Shares.    Whenever under
this Agreement you have the right to deliver Mature Shares to the Company for payment of the Option Award Price pursuant to Section 1(b) or for taxes in excess of the minimum amount of taxes
required to be withheld by the Company pursuant to Section 8(b), in lieu of physically delivering such shares to the Company, you may elect to deliver to the Company an affidavit and such other
documents attesting to ownership of such Mature Shares in such form as is prescribed by the Company from time to time. 

        10.    Amendments.    This Agreement may be amended only by a writing
executed by the Company and you which specifically states that it is amending this Agreement except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement;  provided that this Agreement is subject to the power of
the Board or the Committee to amend the Plan as provided therein, except that no such amendment
shall adversely affect your rights under this Agreement without your consent. 

        11.    Notices.    Any notice to be given under the terms of this
Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company at its principal office, in care of its Corporate Secretary. Any notice to be given to you shall be addressed to you at the address listed in
the Company's records. By a notice given pursuant to this Section, either party may designate a different address for notices. Any notice shall have been deemed given (i) when actually
delivered to the Company, or (ii) if to the Grantee, when actually delivered or deposited in the U.S. Mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified. 

        12.    Severability.    If any part of this Agreement is declared by
any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not serve to invalidate any part of this
Agreement not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any part so declared unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which gives effect to the terms of such part to the fullest
extent possible while remaining lawful and valid. 

        13.    Applicable Law.    This Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware other than its laws respecting choice of law. 

        14.    Headings.    Headings are provided herein for convenience only
and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.
