2006 GLOBAL LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 
 NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT 
 To
                     (“Optionee”): 
 FTI Consulting, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted you an award (the “Award”) of an option (the “Option”) under the FTI Consulting, Inc. 2006
Global Long-Term Incentive Plan, as adopted effective June 6, 2006, as further amended from time to time (the “Plan”), to purchase
                         shares of the common stock, $0.01 par value (“Common Stock”) of the Company (the
“Shares”), at              per share (the “Exercise Price”). The effective “Grant Date” will be
                                , 2      , subject to your
signing and promptly returning a copy of this Agreement (as defined below) to the Company. 
 This Stock Option Award Agreement (the
“Agreement”) evidences the grant of the Option. This Agreement and the Award of the Option for the Shares are made in consideration of your employment with the Company or your Employer (as hereafter defined) and in
fulfillment of applicable terms of your written Employment Agreement dated                         ,
2       (“Employment Agreement”), between you and the Company or an Affiliate of the Company (the “Employer”). The Award is subject in all respects to and incorporates by
reference the terms and conditions of the Plan. 
 A copy of the Plan and the Prospectus for the Plan, as amended from time to time (the
“Prospectus”), is attached. By executing this Agreement, you acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan and the Prospectus for the Plan. You may request additional copies of the Plan or Prospectus by contacting the
Secretary of the Company at FTI Consulting, Inc., 500 East Pratt Street, Suite 1400 Baltimore, Maryland 21202 (Phone: (410) 951-4800). You also may request from the Secretary of the Company copies of the other documents that make up a part
of the Prospectus (described more fully at the end of the Prospectus), as well as all reports, proxy statements and other communications distributed to the Company’s security holders generally. 
 The Option is intended to be and will be treated as a nonstatutory stock option. 
  

	(1)	Vesting. 

  

	 	a.	As of Grant Date. The Option is nonvested, nonexercisable and forfeitable as of the Grant Date. No nonvested Option Shares shall become vested and exercisable after your
employment with the Company and its Affiliates ceases unless this Agreement provides to the contrary. 

  

	 	b.	Expiration. The Option will expire at the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on
                    , 2      , or (ii) the forfeiture of such Option as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

  

	 	c.	Normal Vesting. 

 Except as provided otherwise in
this Agreement, provided that (i) your “Service” (as hereafter defined) with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company continues through the applicable date upon which vesting is scheduled to occur, and (ii) that
you meet the applicable “Stock Ownership Requirement” (as hereafter defined) on such vesting date,             % of the Option Shares shall vest on each anniversary
of the Grant Date and be exercisable upon such date, such that 100% of the Option Shares shall be vested on the              anniversary of the Grant Date and be exercisable thereafter.
Subject to the next two paragraphs, the applicable Stock Ownership Requirement must be met on the applicable vesting date; otherwise, the applicable portion of Option Shares scheduled to vest on such vesting date shall be immediately forfeited for
no consideration on such date. 

 If you are unable to meet the applicable Stock Ownership Requirement on the applicable vesting date
because you are unable to acquire or purchase shares of Common Stock on such date (or on any of the ten business days preceding such vesting date) due to applicable securities law or Company policy, you shall have thirty days from the first
subsequent date (or, if later, the applicable vesting date) on which you are able to acquire or purchase shares of Common Stock to meet the applicable Stock Ownership Requirement. If you meet the applicable Stock Ownership Requirement during such
thirty-day period, the applicable portion of Option Shares shall vest on the date such Stock Ownership Requirement is met. If you do not meet the applicable Stock Ownership Requirement during such thirty-day period, the applicable portion of Option
Shares shall be forfeited for no consideration at the end of such thirty-day period. 
 The Stock Ownership Requirement vesting condition
provided under item (ii) of the first sentence of the first paragraph above shall cease upon the earlier of (i) your employment with the Company or your Employer terminating, or (ii) you completing six years of consecutive Service.

  

	 	d.	Termination due to Death. Provided that your administrator or executor, on behalf of your estate, executes a “Release” (as hereafter defined) as soon
as administratively feasible following your death in accordance with the Employment Agreement, the Option Shares that are not then vested and exercisable shall vest 100% and be exercisable in full upon your death. Vested Option Shares shall be
exercisable until the earlier of (i) the expiration date set forth in Section 1(b) of this Agreement and (ii) the date that is 12 months following the date of your death, and any unexercised Option Shares shall be forfeited for no
consideration thereafter. 

  

	 	e.	Termination by the Company due to Disability. Provided that you (or your legally authorized guardian or personal representative, on your behalf) execute a Release as soon as
administratively feasible following your termination by the Company or your Employer due to Disability in accordance with the Employment Agreement, the Option Shares that are not then vested and exercisable at the date of termination shall
vest 100% and be exercisable in full upon completion of the Restricted Period (or if you die prior to completion of the Restricted Period, the date of your death). Vested Option Shares vested at the date of termination shall be exercisable
until the earlier of (i) the expiration date set forth in Section 1(b) of this Agreement and (ii) the date that is 12 months following the date of termination of your employment, and any unexercised Option Shares shall be forfeited
for no consideration thereafter. Any outstanding Option Shares which vest upon completion of the Restricted Period shall be exercisable until the earlier of (i) the expiration date set forth in Section 1(b) of this Agreement and
(ii) the date that is 90 days following such vesting date, and any such vested Option Shares which are not exercised shall be forfeited for no consideration thereafter. Any outstanding Option Shares which vest upon the date of your death shall
be exercisable until the earlier of (i) the expiration date set forth in Section 1(b) of this Agreement and (ii) the date that is 12 months following the date of your death, and any such vested Option Shares which are not exercised
shall be forfeited for no consideration thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you fail to continue to comply with the non-solicitation provisions and/or non-competition provisions set forth in the Employment Agreement until the expiration of
the Restricted Period (or if you die during the Restricted Period, until your date of death), all unexercised Option Shares, vested and nonvested, will be immediately forfeited for no consideration upon such non-compliance. 

 

	 	f.	 Termination by the Company without Cause, Termination by Notice of Non-Renewal of the Employment Agreement by the Company, or Termination by Employee for Good
Reason. In the event of termination of your employment by the Company or your Employer without “Cause” (as hereafter defined), termination of your employment due to non-renewal of the Employment Agreement by the Company
or your Employer pursuant to the notice provision of Section 2 of your Employment Agreement, or termination of your employment by you for “Good Reason” (as hereafter defined) as provided under the Employment Agreement,
and provided that you execute a Release on or about such termination in accordance with the Employment Agreement, the Option Shares that are not then vested and exercisable at the date of termination shall vest 100% and be exercisable in full upon
completion of 

  

 2 

	 	 
the Restricted Period, provided that if your employment terminates upon or after completion of five years of consecutive Service but prior to or coincident
with the completion of six years of consecutive Service, the portion of the Option Shares that was scheduled to vest during the Restricted Period shall vest on such earlier applicable vesting date. Option Shares vested at the date of termination
shall be exercisable until the earlier of (i) the expiration date set forth in Section 1(b) of this Agreement and (ii) the date that is 90 days following the date of termination of your employment, and any such vested Option Shares
which are not exercised shall be forfeited for no consideration thereafter. Any outstanding Option Shares which vest following the date of termination of your employment shall be exercisable until the earlier of (i) the expiration date set
forth in Section 1(b) of this Agreement and (ii) the date that is 90 days period following such vesting date, and any such vested Option Shares which are not exercised shall be forfeited for no consideration thereafter. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if you fail to continue to comply with the non-solicitation provisions and/or non-competition provisions set forth in the Employment Agreement until the expiration of the Restricted Period, all unexercised Option Shares, vested and
nonvested, will be immediately forfeited for no consideration upon such non-compliance. 

  

	 	g.	Termination by the Company for Cause. In the event of termination of your employment by the Company or your Employer for Cause, all vested Option Shares shall be exercisable
to the date of such termination, and regardless if vested or nonvested, all Option Shares shall be immediately forfeited for no consideration upon such termination. 

  

	 	h.	Termination due to Retirement. In the event of you terminating your employment due to “Retirement” (as hereafter defined) as provided under the
Employment Agreement, and provided that you execute a Release on or about such termination in accordance with the Employment Agreement, the Option Shares that are not then vested at the date of termination shall vest upon the passage of the time
established for vesting of such Option Shares under Section 1(c) hereof. All other conditions or criteria other than the passage of time for vesting of such Option Shares set forth under Section 1(c) hereof shall be waived by the Company.
Vested Option Shares shall be exercisable until the Option expires as provided under Section 1(b), and any such vested Option Shares which are not exercised prior to such expiration shall be forfeited for no consideration at such time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you fail to continue to comply with the non-solicitation provisions and/or non-competition provisions set forth in the Employment Agreement through the “Compliance End Date” (as hereafter
defined), then all unexercised Option Shares, vested and nonvested, will be immediately forfeited for no consideration upon such non-compliance. 

 In the event that you die while in Retirement status and prior to the Compliance End Date, the Option Shares that are not then vested and exercisable shall vest 100% and be exercisable in full upon your death. Vested
Option Shares shall be exercisable until the earlier of (i) the expiration date set forth in Section 1(b) of this Agreement and (ii) the date that is 12 months following the date of due to death, and any unexercised Option Shares
shall be forfeited for no consideration thereafter. 
  

	 	i.	 Termination by Employee due to Resignation, or Termination due to Non-Renewal of the Employment Agreement by Employee. In the event of you terminating your
employment for any reason (excepting Retirement or Good Reason, if applicable), or you terminating your employment due to non-renewal of the Employment Agreement pursuant to the notice provision of Section 2 of your Employment Agreement, and if
such termination occurs upon or after completion of five years of consecutive Service, and provided that you execute a Release on or about such termination in accordance with the Employment Agreement, the portion of the unvested Option Shares (if
any) that was scheduled to vest during the Restricted Period shall vest upon the (i) applicable vesting date if such termination occurs prior to or coincident with the completion of six years of consecutive Service or (ii) upon the
expiration of the Restricted Period if such termination occurs after the completion of six years of consecutive Service. All Option Shares that are not then vested at the date of termination which would not vest pursuant to the prior sentence shall
be immediately forfeited for no consideration upon such termination. In the event of you terminating your employment for any reason (excepting Retirement or 

  

 3 

	 	 
Good Reason, if applicable) prior to completion of five years of consecutive Service, all unexercised Option Shares, vested and nonvested, shall immediately
be forfeited for no consideration upon the date of termination. Option Shares vested at the date of termination, to the extent not forfeited pursuant to the prior sentence, shall be exercisable until the earlier of (i) the expiration date set
forth in Section 1(b) of this Agreement and (ii) the date that is 90 days following the date of termination of your employment, and any such vested Option Shares which are not exercised shall be forfeited for no consideration thereafter.
Option Shares which vest after termination pursuant to this subsection shall be exercisable until the earlier of (i) the expiration date set forth in Section 1(b) of this Agreement and (ii) the date that is 90 days following such
vesting date, and any such vested Option Shares which are not exercised shall be forfeited for no consideration thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you fail to continue to comply with the non-solicitation provisions and/or non-competition
provisions set forth in the Employment Agreement through the Restricted Period, all unexercised Option Shares, vested and nonvested, will be immediately forfeited for no consideration upon such non-compliance. 

  

	 	j.	Change in Control. In the event of any transaction resulting in a Change in Control of the Company, the Option Shares that are not then vested and exercisable shall
vest 100% and be exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if you fail to continue to comply with the non-solicitation provisions and/or non-competition provisions set forth
in the Employment Agreement until the expiration of the Restricted Period, all unexercised Option Shares will be immediately forfeited for no consideration upon such non-compliance, and (ii) if you fail to continue to comply with the
non-solicitation provisions and/or non-competition provisions set forth in the Employment Agreement until the earlier of (1) the expiration of the Restricted Period or (2) the date you complete six years of consecutive Service, you must
immediately repay to the Company the intrinsic value (determined for each Option Share as the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of vesting, over the Exercise Price of the Option Share) of any Option
Shares that vested as a result of the Change in Control. 

  

	 	k.	Certification. On and after your termination for any reason, the Company may require, in its sole discretion, that you (or if applicable, your legally authorized guardian or
personal representative) execute a periodic certification (but no more than once per calendar year) stating that you are not in violation of the non-solicitation provisions and/or non-competition provisions set forth in the Employment Agreement.
Notwithstanding any provision in Section 1 above, failure to execute such periodic certification shall result in any Option Shares that would have otherwise vested after the date the Company required such certification to become vested on the
date Employee subsequently executes such certification. 

  

	 	l.	Release. The failure to timely execute a Release in accordance with the Employment Agreement on or about the applicable date of termination, or as soon as administratively
feasible following the date of termination in the case of termination due to Disability or death, as required under Section 1 above by you (or if applicable, your executor, administrator, or legally authorized guardian or personal
representative) shall result in the forfeiture of the applicable Option Shares for no consideration. The determination of whether a Release is timely executed on or about the applicable date of termination, or as soon as administratively feasible
following the date of termination in the case of termination due to Disability or death, as provided under Section 1 above, shall be made by the Company in its reasonable discretion; provided however, that the Company must notify you (or if
applicable, your executor, administrator, or legally authorized guardian or personal representative) in writing that the Release must be timely executed, and provide you 60 days after receipt of such notice to provide an executed Release to the
Company. If you fail to provide an executed Release to the Company within the 60-day period, the failure to timely execute a Release shall be deemed to occur upon the expiration of such 60-day period. 

  

	 	m.	 Minimum Exercise and Fractional Shares. You may exercise any vested Option Shares only in multiples of whole Shares and may not exercise the Option as to
fewer than one hundred Shares (unless the Option is then exercisable for fewer than one hundred Shares) at any one time. At the time of 

  

 4 

	 	 
exercise, the Company will round down any fractional Shares but will not make any cash or other payments in settlement of fractional Shares eliminated by
rounding. 

  

	 	n.	Stock Ownership Requirement. This Award is designated as a “Stock Ownership Requirement Award.” 

  

	(2)	Method of Exercise. Subject to this Agreement and the Plan, you may exercise the Option only by notice to the Company, in such form and manner as the Committee may require,
on or before the Option’s expiration date or earlier forfeiture. Each such notice must: 

  

	 	a.	state the election to exercise the Option and the number of Shares with respect to which it is being exercised; 

  

	 	b.	contain such representations as the Company may require; and 

  

	 	c.	be accompanied by full payment of the Exercise Price payable for the Shares or properly executed, irrevocable instructions, in such manner and form as the Committee may require, to
effectuate a broker-assisted cashless exercise through a brokerage firm acceptable to the Committee. The Exercise Price may be paid to the Company via cash, check, money order or wire transfer, and subject to such limits as the Committee may impose
from time to time, tender (via actual delivery or attestation) of other shares of the Company’s Common Stock previously owned by you. 

 For all purposes of this Agreement and the Plan, the date of exercise will be the date on which you have delivered the notice and any required payment (or, in the case of a broker-assisted cashless exercise,
irrevocable broker instructions acceptable to the Committee) to the Company. 
  

	(3)	Stock Certificates. As soon as practicable after exercise of the Option, the Company will deliver a share certificate to you, or deliver Shares electronically or in
certificate form to your designated broker on your behalf, for the Shares issued upon exercise. Any share certificates delivered or Shares delivered electronically will, unless the Shares are registered and such registration is in effect, or an
exemption from registration is available, under applicable federal and state law, bear a legend (or electronic notation) restricting transferability of such Shares. 

  

	(4)	Postponement of Deliver. The Company may postpone the issuance and delivery of any Shares for so long as the Company determines to be necessary or advisable to satisfy the
following: 

  

	 	a.	the completion or amendment of any registration of the Shares or satisfaction of any exemption from registration under any securities law, rule, or regulation;

  

	 	b.	compliance with any requests for representations; and 

  

	 	c.	receipt of proof satisfactory to the Company that a person seeking to exercise the Option on your behalf upon your Disability (if necessary), or upon your estate’s behalf after
your death, is authorized and entitled to exercise the Option. 

  

	(5)	Limitation on Exercise by Law. You may not exercise the Option if the issuance of the Shares upon such exercise would violate any applicable federal securities laws or other
laws or regulations. 

  

	(6)	Non-Guarantee of Employment or Service Relationship. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement alters your at-will or other employment status pursuant to your Employment
Agreement, or other service relationship with the Company (or your Employer). This Agreement is not to be construed as a contract of employment or service relationship between the Company (or your Employer) or any of its Affiliates and you, nor as a
contractual right of you to continue in the employ of, or in a service relationship with, the Company (or your Employer) or any of its Affiliates for any period of time. This Agreement does not limit in any manner the right of the Company (or your
Employer) to discharge you at any time with or without cause or notice and whether or not such discharge results in the forfeiture of any Option Shares or any other adverse effect on your interests under the Plan. 

  

	(7)	 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, inclusive of the Plan, and the terms of the Employment Agreement incorporated into this Agreement, contains the entire
agreement between you, your Employer and the 

  

 5 

	 	 
Company with respect to the Option. Any and all existing oral or written agreements, representations, warranties, written inducements, or other
communications made prior to the execution of this Agreement by any person with respect to the Option are superseded by this Agreement and are void and ineffective for all purposes. 

  

	(8)	Rights as Stockholder. You understand and agree that you will not be deemed for any purpose to be a stockholder of the Company with respect to any of the Shares unless and
until they have been issued to you after your exercise of this Option and payment for the Shares. 

  

	(9)	Restrictions on Transfer. This Option cannot be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, hedged, or disposed of in any way and cannot be subject to execution, attachment
or similar process; however, the Option is transferable by way of will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any sale or transfer, or purported sale or transfer, in contravention of the foregoing shall be null and void. The Company will not be
required to recognize on its books any action taken in contravention of these restrictions. During your lifetime, only you (or, if you are Disabled and if necessary, your legally authorized guardian or personal representative) may exercise the
Option. 

  

	(10)	The Company’s Rights. You understand and agree that the existence of this Option will not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make
or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, including that of its Affiliates, or any merger or consolidation of the Company or any Affiliate, or
any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or other stocks with preference ahead of or convertible into, or otherwise affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any Affiliate, or any sale or
transfer of all or any part of the Company’s or any Affiliate’s assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. 

  

	(11)	Tax Withholding. At the time of exercise, the Company or its Affiliates may withhold from any payment due to you, and you agree to make adequate provision for, all taxes
required by law to be withheld in connection with the Option. The Company or its Affiliates may require you to make a cash payment to cover any withholding tax obligation as a condition of exercise of the Option or issuance of certificates
representing Shares. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit you to satisfy, in whole or in part, any withholding tax obligation which may arise in connection with the Option either by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares
to be issued upon exercise that number of Shares, or by electing to deliver to the Company already-owned shares of Common Stock of the Company, in either case having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount necessary to satisfy the statutory minimum
withholding amount due. 

  

	(12)	Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of this Agreement, and of any determinations or decisions made by the Committee relating to this Agreement, and the
rights of any and all persons having or claiming to have any interest under this Agreement, will be determined exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its provisions concerning the applicability of laws of
other jurisdictions. Any suit or action with respect to the Award, the Option or the Shares will be brought in the federal or state courts in the districts, which include Baltimore, Maryland, and you agree and submit to the personal jurisdiction and
venue thereof. 

  

	(13)	Adjustments. The Committee may make various adjustments to your Option, including adjustments to the number and type of securities subject to the Option and the Exercise
Price, in accordance with the terms of the Plan. 

  

	(14)	Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Committee in its discretion; however, this Agreement may not be modified in a manner that would have a
materially adverse affect on the Option or Shares, as determined by the Committee, except as provided in the Plan, the Employment Agreement, or in a written document signed by you and the Company. 

  

	(15)	Notice. Any notice that you are required to give the Company under this Agreement must be delivered to the Secretary of the Company or his or her designee at the principal
executive office of the Company. Notice will be deemed to have been duly delivered when received by the Secretary or his or her designee in such form and manner as the Company finds to be acceptable.

(including the Glossary) have the meanings given in the Plan (or if applicable, the Employment Agreement). Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, in the event of a conflict, inconsistency or ambiguity between or among any
provision, term or condition of this Agreement, the Plan, or your Employment Agreement, the provisions of, first, the Plan, second, this Agreement, and lastly, the Employment Agreement, will control in that order of priority, except in the case of
Section 12 of this Agreement which will control in all cases.

is the parties’ intent that any court order (or decision of arbitrator(s), as applicable) striking any portion of this Agreement should modify the terms as narrowly as possible to give as much effect as possible to the intentions of the
