RESTRICTED SHARES AWARD AGREEMENT

 

This Restricted Shares Award Agreement (this “Award
Agreement”) evidences an award of restricted shares (“Restricted Shares”) by Dynasty Financial
Partners, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Dynasty” and together with any Subsidiary, and any successor entity
thereto, the “Company”) under the Dynasty Financial Partners, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan
(the “Plan”). Capitalized terms not defined in this Award Agreement have the meanings given to them in the Plan.

 

	Name of Grantee:	______________ (the
    “Grantee”).
	 	 
	Grant Date:	______________ (the
    “Grant Date”).
	 	 
	Restricted Shares:	______________.
	 	 
	Grant of Restricted Shares:	On the Grant Date, the Company will grant to the Grantee [ ] Restricted Shares, which will be subject to the restrictions provided for in this Award Agreement. A book entry in the Grantee’s name evidencing the Restricted Shares will be made with the Company or its designated agent until such Restricted Shares are released to the Grantee or forfeited in accordance with this Award Agreement.
	 	 
	Risk of Forfeiture:	The Restricted Shares will initially be subject to a risk of forfeiture, which risk of forfeiture will lapse as the Grantee vests in the Restricted Shares as set forth below.

 

	Vesting:	A number of Restricted Shares equal to [insert fraction] of the Restricted Shares (rounded to the
nearest whole number) shall vest on [         ] (each, a “Vesting Date”).

 

	 	The Restricted Shares will vest only if the Grantee is and has been continuously employed by the Company from the Grant Date through the applicable Vesting Date, and any unvested Restricted Shares will be forfeited and immediately returned to the Company upon any termination of Employment for any reason, subject to the Board’s discretion.
	 	 
	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, and any provision in the Plan:
	 	 
	 	A. Upon a termination of Employment due to the Grantee’s death or Disability, unvested Restricted Shares will immediately vest as of the date of such termination; and
	 	 
	 	B. Upon a termination of the Grantee’s Employment by the Company without Cause or resignation by the Grantee for Good

 

     

     

    

 

	 	Reason
    on or within two years following a Change in Control, unvested Restricted Shares will immediately vest as of the date of such termination
    (a “CIC Qualifying Termination”).
	 	 
	 	For purposes of this
    Award Agreement, if, as a result of the Grantee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Grantee will have been substantially
    unable to perform his duties hereunder for a continuous period of 180 days, the Company may terminate Grantee’s employment
    hereunder for “Disability.”

 

	Effect
    of Vesting:	Upon
    the vesting of any Restricted Shares, such vested Restricted Shares will no longer be subject to forfeiture as provided in this Award
    Agreement. Promptly after vesting, the Company will deliver to the Grantee the Restricted Shares that have vested subject to applicable
    tax withholding obligations.
	 	 
	Restrictions
    on Transfer:	During
    the period of restriction, the Restricted Shares and all rights with respect thereto, may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged
    or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily. The transfer restrictions in the preceding
    sentence will not apply to (a) transfers to the Company, or (b) transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
	 	 
	Right
    to Vote and	 
	Receive
    Dividends:	During
    the period of restriction, the Grantee will be the beneficial and record owner of the Restricted Shares and will have full voting
    rights with respect thereto. During the period of restriction, all dividends (whether ordinary or extraordinary and whether paid
    in cash, additional shares or other property) or other distributions paid upon any Restricted Share will be retained by the Company
    for the account of the Grantee. Such dividends or other distributions will revert back to the Company if for any reason the restricted
    share upon which such dividends or other distributions were paid reverts back to the Company. Upon the expiration of the period of
    restriction, all such dividends or other distributions made on such Restricted Share and retained by the Company will be paid, without
    interest, to the Grantee.
	 	 
	Section 83(b)
    Election:	If
    the Grantee makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the Restricted Shares, promptly after filing such election
    with the Internal Revenue Service, the Grantee shall be required to deliver to the Company a copy of such election along with proof
    of the timely filing thereof. The Grantee also acknowledges that it is the Grantee’s sole responsibility, and not the Company’s
    responsibility, to file timely and properly any election under Section 83(b) of the Code, and any corresponding provisions
    of state tax laws.

	Clawback:	Section 3.9 of the Plan is incorporated herein by reference and will apply to the Restricted Shares granted
pursuant to this Award Agreement.

Employment for any reason, the Grantee will not directly or indirectly (without the prior written consent of the Company):

(a)            Upon
the closing of the IPO, the Board shall initially consist of six (6) directors, including Harvey Golub, Henchy Rachel Enden,
Avery Johnson, Sam Levinson, Shirl Penney and Todd Thomson (the “Initial Directors”). The audit committee of the
Board shall initially consist of three directors, including Henchy Rachel Enden, Harvey Golub and Avery Johnson; and the
compensation committee of the Board shall initially consist of three directors, including Sam Levinson, Avery Johnson and Henchy
Rachel Enden. Of the initial directors, Sam Levinson is deemed to be GF Directors. From and after the closing of the IPO, the rights
of the Holder to designate directors to the Board and its committees shall be as set forth in the remainder of this Section 2.1.
At the completion of the IPO, the Board shall include the applicable GF Directors referred to in this paragraph (a), and such other
individuals as shall be nominated and elected to the Board from time to time by the Board or the Company’s stockholders
consistent herewith and with applicable law.

 

(b)            (i)            Subject
to applicable laws and stock exchange regulations, for so long as the aggregate Ownership Percentage of the Holder and its Affiliates
is at least ten percent (10%), the Company will take all necessary action (to the extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent
such action is consistent with the fiduciary duties of the directors under Delaware law) to cause the Board to nominate for election at
each annual or special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected that number of individuals designated by the Holder
that, if elected would result in the number of GF Directors (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to the greater of (x) one
(1) and (y) the product of (i) the total number of members then comprising the full Board (including the GF Directors)
and (ii) the Holder’s Ownership Percentage; provided, however, that if the Board shall have six (6) or seven
(7) directors, Holder shall be entitled to designate two (2) GF Directors, and that if the Board shall have eight (8) or
nine (9) directors, Holder shall be entitled to designate three (3) GF Directors. Any individuals, other than the Initial Directors,
designated by the Holder pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) must satisfy the requirements for a replacement designee set
forth in Section 2.1(f).

 

(ii)           Subject
to applicable laws and stock exchange regulations, for so long as the aggregate Ownership Percentage of the Holder and its Affiliates
is at least ten percent (10%), the Company will take all necessary action (to the extent permitted by applicable law and listing standards
and to the extent such action is consistent with the fiduciary duties of the directors under Delaware law) to cause the Board to appoint
at least one (1) GF Director to serve on each and every committee of the Board.

(c)            In
the event that the Holder has nominated fewer than the total number of designees that the Holder shall be entitled to nominate pursuant
to Section 2.1(b), then the Holder shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to nominate such additional designee(s) to
which it is entitled, in which case, the Company shall take all necessary corporate action (to the extent permitted by applicable law
and to the extent such action is consistent with the fiduciary duties of the directors under Delaware law) to cause the Board to (x) increase
the size of the Board as required to enable such Holder to so nominate such additional designee(s), and (y) designate such additional
designees nominated by the Holder to fill any vacancy or vacancies, as applicable.

 

(d)            Following
the date of completion of the IPO and for so long as the Holder is entitled to designate any Person to the Board pursuant to this Section 2.1,
the Board shall not increase or decrease the size of the Board (other than as contemplated by Section 2.1(c), to the extent
necessary to comply with applicable law or listing standards, or to increase the size of the Board to seven (7) members) without
the consent of the Holder.

 

(e)            Any
GF Director may be removed (with or without cause) from time to time and at any time by the Holder upon notice to the Company.

 

(f)            In
the event that a vacancy is created on the Board by the death, disability, resignation or removal of a GF Director, the Holder shall be
entitled to designate an individual to fill the vacancy so long as the total number of GF Directors serving on the Board immediately following
the filling of such vacancy will not exceed the total number of persons the Holder is entitled to designate pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i) on
the date of such replacement designation. The Company shall take all necessary action (to the extent permitted by applicable law and to
the extent such action is consistent with the fiduciary duties of the directors under Delaware law) to cause such replacement designee
to become a member of the Board as soon as reasonably possible.

 

(g)            The
Company agrees to take all necessary action (to the extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent such action is consistent with
the fiduciary duties of the directors under Delaware law) to cause the Board to include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board
for election at any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors the Persons designated pursuant to this Section 2.1
and to nominate and recommend each such individual to be elected as a director as provided herein, and to solicit proxies or consents
in favor thereof. The Company is entitled to identify such individual as a GF Director pursuant to this Agreement.

 

Section 2.2            Voting.
For so long as the Holder is entitled to designate a GF Director pursuant to Section 2.1, the Principal Stockholder shall
vote, or provide a written consent or proxy with respect to, all of his shares of Common Stock that he Beneficially Owns and over which
he controls the voting thereof in favor of the GF Directors for election to the Board, and to take all other steps within such Principal
Stockholder’s power as a stockholder of the Company to ensure that the composition of the Board is as set forth in Section 2.1
hereof.

 

Section 2.3            Approval
Right in Relation to the Chief Executive Officer. For so long as the aggregate Ownership Percentage of the Holder and its Affiliates
is at least fifteen percent (15%), the Company shall not elect, appoint, hire or dismiss, other than a dismissal for cause, the chief
executive officer of the Company without the consent of the Holder.

Section 2.4            Approval
Right in Relation to the Chairman of the Board. For so long as the aggregate Ownership Percentage of the Holder and its Affiliates

Section 2.5            Restrictions
on Other Agreements. Except with respect to that certain voting agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between GF-Dynasty
Holdings, LLC and Shirl Penney, the Holder and the Principal Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, grant any proxy or enter
into or agree to be bound by any voting trust, agreement or arrangement of any kind with respect to his or its shares of Common
Stock if and to the extent the terms thereof conflict with the provisions of this Agreement (whether or not such proxy, voting
trust, agreement or agreements are with other holders of shares of Common Stock that are not parties to this Agreement or
otherwise); provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict in any way the Holder’s or
the Principal Stockholder’s right or ability to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or assign any shares of Common Stock (a
 “Transfer”), except that if the Principal Stockholder shall Transfer (i) any shares of Common Stock to an
Affiliate, to his spouse or to any estate planning vehicle such as a trust over which either the Principal Stockholder, his spouse
or the Principal Stockholder’s children have control or are otherwise the beneficiaries thereof, (ii) any shares of Common
Stock to (x) the trustee or trustees of a trust controlled and revocable solely by the Principal Stockholder or (y) any trust for
the sole benefit of the Principal Stockholder and/or the Principal Stockholder's Family Members, or (iii) any shares of Common Stock
upon the Principal Stockholder's death to his spouse by will, through a trust or otherwise, the transferees of such Transfer shall,
in any such case, be subject to the obligations of the Principal Stockholder under this Agreement with respect to the shares of
Common Stock subject to the Transfer and shall sign on an instrument or joinder to that effect reasonably satisfactory to the
Holder. Any purported Transfer that does not comply with the foregoing restrictions and conditions shall be null and
void. For the purpose of this Section 2.5, “Family Member” means as to any individual, any (i) lineal descendant, parent, grandparent
or sibling of such individual, (ii) any spouse of the persons named in clause (i) or descendants of such spouse and (iii) any trust or
family limited partnership, the beneficiaries or beneficiary of which constitute such individual and/or one or more persons described
in clauses (i) and (ii).

 

Article III

 

Pre-emptive
Rights

 

Section 3.1            Pre-emptive
Rights.

 

(a)            Sale
of New Securities. Subject to applicable laws and stock exchange regulations, for so long as the aggregate Ownership Percentage of
the Holder and its Affiliates is at least ten percent (10%) (before giving effect to any issuances triggering provisions of this Section),
if at any time after the Effective Time the Company makes any public or nonpublic offering or sale of any equity (including Common Stock,
preferred stock or restricted stock), or any securities, options or debt that is convertible or exchangeable into equity or that includes
an equity component (such as, an “equity kicker”) (including any hybrid security) (any such security, a “New Security”)
(other than (i) any Common Stock or other securities issuable upon the exercise or conversion of any securities of the Company issued
or agreed or contemplated to be issued as of the Effective Time; (ii) pursuant to the granting or exercise of employee stock options
or other stock incentives pursuant to the Company’s stock incentive plans approved by the Board or the issuance of stock pursuant
to the Company’s employee stock options or other stock incentives pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase plan approved
by the Board or similar plan where stock is being issued or offered to a trust, other entity or otherwise, for the benefit of any employees,
officers or directors of the Company, in each case in the ordinary course of providing incentive compensation; or (iii) issuances
of capital stock as full or partial consideration for a merger, acquisition, equity swap agreement with the Company’s Network Partner
Firms, joint venture, strategic alliance, license agreement or other similar nonfinancing transaction), then the Holder shall be afforded
the opportunity to acquire from the Company for the same price (net of any underwriting discounts or sales commissions) and on the same
terms as such securities are proposed to be offered to others, up to the amount of New Securities in the aggregate required to enable
it to maintain its proportionate Common Stock-equivalent interest in the Company immediately prior to any such issuance of New Securities.
The amount of New Securities that the Holder shall be entitled to purchase in the aggregate shall be determined by multiplying (x) the
total number or principal amount of such offered New Securities by (y) the Holder’s Ownership Percentage.

 

    	 	-6-	 

     

    

 

(b)            Notice.
In the event the Company proposes to offer or sell New Securities, it shall give the Holder written notice of its intention, describing
the price (or range of prices), anticipated amount of securities, timing, and other terms upon which the Company proposes to offer the
same (including, in the case of a registered public offering and to the extent possible, a copy of the prospectus included in the registration
statement filed with respect to such offering), no later than five (5) business days, as the case may be, after the initial filing
of a registration statement with the SEC with respect to an underwritten public offering, after the commencement of marketing with respect
to a Rule 144A offering or after the Company proposes to pursue any other offering. The Holder shall have five (5) business
days from the date of receipt of such a notice to notify the Company in writing that it intends to exercise its rights provided in this
Section 3.1 and as to the amount of New Securities the Holder desires to purchase. Such notice shall constitute a nonbinding
indication of interest of the Holder to purchase the amount of New Securities so specified at the price and other terms set forth in the
Company’s notice to it. The failure of the Holder to respond within such five (5) business day period shall be deemed to be
waiver of the Holder’s rights under this Section 3.1 only with respect to the offering described in the applicable notice
immediately prior to the offering of such New Securities.

 

(c)            Purchase
Mechanism. If the Holder exercises its rights provided in this Section 3.1, the closing of the purchase of the New Securities
with respect to which such right has been exercised shall take place within ten (10) calendar days after the giving of notice of
such exercise, which period of time shall be extended for a maximum of one hundred and eighty (180) days in order to comply with applicable
laws and regulations (including receipt of any applicable regulatory or stockholder approvals). Each of the Company and the Holder agrees
to use its reasonable best efforts to secure any regulatory or stockholder approvals or other consents, and to comply with any law or
regulation necessary in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of, such New Securities.

 

    	 	-7-	 

     

    

 

(d)            Failure
of Purchase. In the event the Holder fails to exercise its rights provided in this Section 3.1 within said five (5) business
day period or, if so exercised, the Holder is unable to consummate such purchase within the time period specified in Section 3.1(c) above
because of its failure to obtain any required regulatory or stockholder consent or approval, the Company shall thereafter be entitled
(during the period of sixty (60) days following the conclusion of the applicable period) to sell or enter into an agreement (pursuant
to which the sale of the New Securities covered thereby shall be consummated, if at all, within ninety (90) days from the date of said
agreement) to sell the New Securities not elected to be purchased pursuant to this Section 3.1 by the Holder or which the
Holder is unable to purchase because of such failure to obtain any such consent or approval, at a price and upon terms no more favorable
in the aggregate to the purchasers of such securities than were specified in the Company’s notice to the Holder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if such sale is subject to the receipt of any regulatory or stockholder approval or consent or the expiration of any waiting
period, the time period during which such sale may be consummated shall be extended until the expiration of five business days after all
such approvals or consents have been obtained or waiting periods expired, but in no event shall such time period exceed one hundred and
eighty (180) days from the date of the applicable agreement with respect to such sale. In the event the Company has not sold the New Securities
or entered into an agreement to sell the New Securities within said 60-day period (or sold and issued New Securities in accordance with
the foregoing within ninety (90) days from the date of said agreement (as such period may be extended in the manner described above for
a period not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of said agreement)), the Company shall not thereafter offer, issue
or sell such New Securities without first offering such securities to the Holder in the manner provided above.

 

(e)            Non-Cash
Consideration. In the case of the offering of securities for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, including securities
acquired in exchange therefor (other than securities by their terms so exchangeable), the consideration other than cash shall be deemed
to be the fair value thereof as determined by the Board; provided, however, that such fair value as determined by the Board
shall not exceed the aggregate market price of the securities being offered as of the date the Board authorizes the offering of such securities.

 

(f)            Cooperation.
The Company and the Holder shall cooperate in good faith to facilitate the exercise of the Holder’s rights under this Section 3.1,
including to secure any required approvals or consents. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Holder
shall have no obligation to purchase any New Securities until such time as all other New Securities being offered that gave the Holder
the right to purchase such New Securities have been purchased and (ii) the Holder may withdraw any notice to exercise its rights
with respect to any offering of New Securities and have no further obligation to purchase any such New Securities at any time until all
such New Securities the offering of which gave the Holder the right to purchase such New Securities have been so purchased.

of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including its and their books of account, monthly management reports, operating and capital
expenditure budgets, periodic information packages relating to the operations and cash flows of the Company and other records and (b) the
right to discuss the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ affairs, finances and accounts with its and their officers, during normal
business hours following reasonable notice; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the foregoing
clauses (a) and (b) to provide access to any information that it reasonably and in good faith considers to be a trade secret
or confidential information (unless covered by an enforceable confidentiality agreement, in a form acceptable to the Company) or the disclosure
of which would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel. For so long as the aggregate Ownership
Percentage of the Holder and its Affiliates is at least ten percent (10%), the Company shall also provide the Holder or its authorized
representatives with the right to reasonably request information.

Section 4.2            Confidential
Information. The Company recognizes that GF Directors (a) will from time to time receive non-public information concerning the
Company, and (b) may share such information with other individuals and entities associated with the Holder. The Company hereby irrevocably
consents to such sharing, subject to the terms of this Section 4.2. The Holder agrees that it will keep confidential and not
disclose or divulge to any third party, or use for any purpose, other than to monitor or manage its investment in the Company and its
Subsidiaries, any confidential information regarding the Company it receives from the Company or a GF Director, unless such information
(x) is known or becomes known to the public in general, (y) is or has been independently developed or conceived by the Holder
without use of the Company’s confidential information or (z) is or has been made known or disclosed to the Holder by a third
party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have known to the Holder; provided, however,
that the Holder may disclose confidential information (i) to its Affiliates, (ii) to each of its and its Affiliates’ attorneys,
accountants, consultants, advisors and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with evaluating
the information, or (iii) as may be required by law or legal, judicial or regulatory process or requested by any regulatory or self-regulatory
authority or examiner, provided that the Holder takes reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any required disclosure described in
this clause (iii); provided, further, that the Holder shall be responsible for compliance with this Section 4.2
by its Affiliates, associates and advisors described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii).

(x) any party hereto from any liability of such party to any other party incurred prior to such termination or (y) any party
hereto from any liability to any other party arising out of or in connection with a breach of this Agreement.

or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party, but such extension or waiver or failure
to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with
respect to, any subsequent or other failure. For the avoidance of doubt, the sole obligations of the Principal Stockholder are set forth
in Section 2.2 and Section 2.5, and the Principal Stockholder is not responsible in any way for the obligations

hereby further waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any
requirement under any law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

 

Section 5.15          Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective
and valid under applicable law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect under any applicable law in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other
provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction
such that the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

 

Section 5.16          Delivery
by Facsimile or Electronic Transmission. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this
Agreement, and any amendments or waivers hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by e-mail
delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument
and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No
party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf”
format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument
was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as
a defense to the formation of a contract and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.
