RESTRICTED UNIT AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO THE

ARES MANAGEMENT CORPORATION

SECOND AMENDED & RESTATED 2014 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

This Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of [ ] (the “Grant Date”), by and between Ares Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [ ] (the “Participant”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Ares Management Corporation Second Amended & Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan, a copy of which has been delivered to the Participant, which is administered by the Committee; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Article VII of the Plan, the Committee may grant Other Share-Based Awards to Service Providers under the Plan, including restricted units that represent the right to receive Common Shares; and

WHEREAS, the Participant is a Service Provider under the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1. Grant of Restricted Units.

Subject to the restrictions and other conditions set forth herein, the Committee hereby grants to the Participant the right to receive [ ] Common Shares (the “Restricted Units”) as of the Grant Date. Each Restricted Unit is an Other Share-Based Award under the Plan that represents an unfunded, unsecured right of the Participant to receive a Common Share on the Vesting Dates specified in Section 2 herein.

2. Vesting and Payment.

(a) The Restricted Units shall vest in four equal installments on each of [the second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Grant Date] (the “Vesting Dates”); provided that the Participant has not had a Termination prior to the applicable Vesting Date. There shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to each Vesting Date. Except as expressly provided in Sections 2(b) or 2(c), all unvested Restricted Units will be forfeited without compensation on the Participant’s Termination for any reason.

(b) Acceleration Event. Upon an Acceleration Event (as defined below), subject to Participant (or Participant’s estate, if applicable) executing and not revoking a separation and release agreement with the Company (or its designated affiliate) in the standard form then in effect (a “Release”) within 30 days following such Acceleration Event, [50]% of the Restricted Units that are outstanding and unvested as of such Acceleration Event shall vest immediately upon such Acceleration Event.

(c) Qualifying Termination Following Change in Control Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2(b), if Participant incurs a Termination by the Company without Cause (other than due to Participant’s death or Disability) or on account of Participant’s resignation for Good Reason, in either case, within six months following a Change in Control Event, subject to Participant executing and not revoking a Release within 30 days following Participant’s date of Termination, all Restricted Units that are outstanding and unvested as of such Termination shall vest in full, effective immediately upon such Termination.

(d) The Company shall, on or within 30 days following a Vesting Date, deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Participant one Common Share with respect to each vested Restricted Unit, as settlement of such Restricted Unit and each such Restricted Unit shall thereafter be cancelled.

3. Dividend Equivalents.

With respect to ordinary cash dividends in respect of Common Shares covered by any outstanding Restricted Units, Participant will have the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (i) the amount of any ordinary cash dividend paid with respect to a Common Share, multiplied by (ii) the number of Common Shares covered by such Restricted Units, payable at the time such dividend is paid to holders of Common Shares generally (a “Dividend Equivalent Payment”). In no event shall a Dividend Equivalent Payment be made that would result in Participant receiving both the Dividend Equivalent Payment and the actual dividend with respect to a Restricted Unit and the corresponding Common Share.

4. Restricted Unit Transfer Restrictions.

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Restricted Units may not be Transferred by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any other purported Transfer shall be void and unenforceable against the Company and its Affiliates.

5. [Reserved].

6. Rights as a Stockholder.

The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to Common Shares covered by Restricted Units.

7. Provisions of Plan Control.

This Agreement is subject to all the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan, including the amendment provisions thereof, and to such rules, regulations and interpretations relating to the Plan as may be adopted by the Committee and as may be in effect from time to time. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. If and to the extent that this Agreement conflicts or is inconsistent with the Plan, the Plan shall control, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly.

8. Notices.

All notices, demands or requests made pursuant to, under or by virtue of this Agreement must be in writing and sent to the party to which the notice, demand or request is being made:

(a) unless otherwise specified by the Company in a notice delivered by the Company in accordance with this section, any notice required to be delivered to the Company shall be properly delivered if delivered to:

Ares Management Corporation

2000 Avenue of the Stars, 12th Floor

Los Angeles, CA 90067

Attention: General Counsel

(b) If to the Participant, to the address on file with the Company.

Any notice, demand or request, if made in accordance with this section shall be deemed to have been duly given: (i) when delivered in person; (ii) three days after being sent by United States mail, or foreign equivalent; or (iii) on the first business day following the date of deposit if delivered by a nationally or internationally recognized overnight delivery service.

9. No Right to Employment or Services.

This Agreement is not an agreement of employment or services. None of this Agreement, the Plan or the grant of Restricted Units shall (a) obligate the Company to employ or otherwise retain, or to continue to employ or otherwise retain, the Participant for any specific time period or (b) modify or limit in any respect the Company’s or its Affiliates’ right to terminate or modify the Participant’s employment, services or compensation.

10. Transfer of Personal Data.

The Participant authorizes, agrees and unambiguously consents to the transmission by the Company of any personal data information related to the Restricted Units awarded under this Agreement, for legitimate business purposes (including, without limitation, the administration of the Plan) out of the Participant’s home country and including to countries with less data protection than the data protection provided by the Participant’s home country. This authorization/consent is freely given by the Participant.

11. Withholding.

The Participant hereby authorizes the Company, or an Affiliate thereof to which the Participant provides services, to satisfy applicable income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items (“Tax-Related Items”), with respect to any issuance, transfer, or other taxable event under this Agreement or the Plan by withholding from the proceeds of the sale of Common Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Units either through a voluntary sale authorized by the Company or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company or any of its Affiliates on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization, to cover the amount of such Tax Related Items. The Participant further authorizes the Company or the applicable Affiliate to take such action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company or the applicable Affiliate to withhold from any compensation or other amount owing to the Participant to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such Tax-Related Items. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee may, from time to time, permit the Participant to make arrangements prior to any Vesting Date described herein to pay the applicable Tax-Related Items in a manner prescribed by the Committee prior to the applicable Vesting Date, including by cash, check, bank draft or money order. The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or any of its Affiliates the ultimate liability

2

for all Tax-Related Items, is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Common Shares or the proceeds from the sale of Common Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

12. Dispute Resolution.

(a) The exclusive remedy for determining any and all disputes, claims or causes of action, in law or equity, arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be determined by: (i) the dispute resolution provisions in any employment, consulting agreement, or similar agreement, between the Company or any of its Affiliates and the Participant or, if none, (ii) the Company’s or any of its Affiliates’ mandatory dispute resolution procedures as may be in effect from time to time with respect to matters arising out of or relating to Participant’s employment or service with the Company or, if none, (iii) by final, binding and confidential arbitration in Los Angeles, California, before one arbitrator, conducted by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services/Endispute, Inc. (“JAMS”), or its successor. If disputes are settled pursuant to prong (iii) of this Section 12, Section 12(b) shall apply.

(b) Disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§1–16, and JAMS’ Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect. The arbitrator will have the same, but no greater, remedial authority than would a court of law and shall issue a written decision including the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions and a statement of the award. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. This agreement to resolve any disputes by binding arbitration extends to claims by or against the Company or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective past or present representatives and applies to claims arising out of federal, state and local laws, including claims of alleged discrimination on any basis, as well as to claims arising under the common law. The prevailing party in any such arbitration proceeding, as determined by the arbitrator, or in any proceeding to enforce the arbitration award, will be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to reimbursement from the other party for all of the prevailing party’s costs (including the arbitrator’s compensation), expenses and attorneys’ fees. If no party entirely prevails in such arbitration or proceeding, the arbitrator or court shall apportion an award of such fees based on the relative success of each party. In the event of a conflict between this provision and any provision in the applicable rules of JAMS, the provisions of this Agreement will prevail.

13. Section 409A.

The Restricted Units are intended to comply with or be exempt from the applicable requirements of Section 409A and shall be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent; provided, that the Company does not guarantee to the Participant any particular tax treatment of the Restricted Units. In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on the Participant by Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A. Dividend Equivalent Payments shall be treated separately from the Restricted Units and the rights arising in connection therewith for purposes of the designation of time and form of payments required by Section 409A.
