1. Name and Purpose. 1.1 The name of this plan is the McDonald & Company Investments, Inc. 1992 Restricted Stoc k
Bonus Plan. The Plan is created, adopted and will be maintained by McDonald & Company
Investments, Inc. (herein referred to as the "Parent Corporation") to further the growth, success
and interest of the Parent Corporation, McDonald & Company Securities, Inc. (herein referred t o
as the "Corporation") and the stockholders of the Parent Corporation by enabling employees of
the Corporation who receive an Incentive Bonus, as defined in Section 3.3 below, to acquire
shares of common stock of the Parent Corporation ("Shares") under the terms and conditions of
and in accordance with this Plan, thereby increasing their direct involvement in the success of the
Corporation. 2. Administration of the Plan.
2.1 This Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee (the "Committe e") of the
Board of Directors of the Parent Company which shall consist of at least three direct ors, each-of
whom shall be a "disinterested person" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any successor to such rule ("Rule 16b-3"). The Committee
may, from time to time, designate one or more persons or agents to carry out any or a ll of its
administrative duties hereunder; provided that none of the duties required to be performed by the
Committee under Rule 16b-3 or Section 2.3 of the Plan may be delegated to any other person.
2.2 The Plan shall be administered and operated on the same annual accounting period as the
Parent Corporation (herein referred to as the "plan year"), which presently is either the fi fty-two
(52) or fifty-three (53) week period ending on the last Friday of each March. The first plan yea r
will be deemed to have commenced March 30, 1991 and to have ended March 27, 1992. In the
event that the Parent Corporation changes its annual accounting period, the plan year shal l
automatically change and the Committee may make such adjustments to the operation of the Plan
as appropriate to reflect any short plan years, adjustments to the dates that Shares are awarded or
that restrictions lapse hereunder or any other adjustments that may be appropriate to reflect the
change in the plan year.
2.3 The Committee shall interpret the Plan, and to the extent and in the m anner contemplated
herein. it shall exercise the discretion granted to it. The Committee shall issue from time to time
such rules and interpretations as in its judgment are necessary in order to administe r the Plan
effectively. The Committee shall have the exclusive right in its sole discre tion to determine the
number of Shares awarded to each participant, to determine the price or prices at whic h Shares
shall be awarded to each participant, to determine the time or times when Sha res may be
awarded and to prescribe the form, which shall be consistent with this Plan, of the instrum ents
evidencing any award and issuance under this Plan and the legend, if any, to be affixed to the
certificates representing Shares issued under this Plan.
3. Eligible Employees and Participation.3.1 Any employee of the Corporation shall be eligible to participate in the Plan if he satisfies all

written election to participate to the Committee within sixty (60) days aft er the beginning of the

employee shall be subject to the same terms and conditions hereunder as if the e mployee did not
satisfy such conditions.

Shares subject to an unexercised stock option granted to the employee shall not be inc luded in
such determination. For purposes of this Section, and except as provided in the immediat ely
preceding sentence, a person's "beneficial ownership" of Shares shall be determined in accor-
dance with the provisions of Rule 16a-1 (a) (2) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act

4. Stock Portion of Incentive Bonus.
4.1 The number of Shares that shall be awarded to a participant shall be determined by dividing
the Stock Portion of a Participant's Incentive Bonus by the Adjusted Purchase Price of one Share.

$150,000 $20,000 plus 25% of amount over $150,000
4.2 The Stock Portion of a Participant's Incentive Bonus shall be determined for each Incent ive
Bonus paid with respect to a plan year by aggregating the amount of the current Incentive Bonus
together with all the Incentive Bonuses previously paid with respect to such plan year to
determine the stock portion for the current Incentive Bonus.
4.3 Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Stock Portion of a Participant's
Incentive Bonus payable with respect to the first plan year ending March 27, 1992 shall apply
only to the Incentive Bonus payable on or about June 1, 1992 in an amount that shall not be
greater than the lesser of (a) or (b):
(a) the amount of the Incentive Bonus payable on or about June 1, 1992; or
(b) one-half (1/2) of the total amount of all Incentive Bonuses payable with
respect to the plan year ending on March 27, 1992.

closing price of one Share for the five (5) trading day period ending on the last day of the m onth
immediately preceding the month that includes the date in which payment of the Incentive Bonus
is actually made to the participant, and multiplying such average price by ninet y-five percent

income tax withholding obligation with respect to the lapse of restrictions on such Shares.
The Committee by resolution may approve in advance specified classes of Electi ons,
whether by a given employee or category of employees, or by type of Election, provided
such resolution expressly reserves to the Committee the right both to disapprove any
individual Election and to revoke or modify its advance approval of any such class of
