T. ROWE PRICE GROUP, INC. 2012 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL TERMS

REGARDING AWARDS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

(version 2A)

This Statement of Additional Terms Regarding Awards of Restricted Stock Units (the “Terms”) and all of the provisions of the T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) are incorporated into your stock units award, the specifics of which are described on the “Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Units Award” (the “Notice”) that you received. Once you have accepted the Notice in accordance with the instructions set forth thereon, the Terms, the Plan and the Notice, together, constitute a binding and enforceable contract respecting your restricted stock units award. That contract is referred to in this document as the “Agreement.”

1. Terminology. Capitalized words and phrases used in these Terms are defined in the Glossary at the end of this document or the first place such word or phrase appears in this document.

2. Vesting.

(a) Vested Status upon Grant Date. All of the Stock Units are nonvested and forfeitable as of the Grant Date. Your Stock Units will become vested for purposes of this Agreement only on the applicable vesting dates under the vesting schedule set forth on the correlating Notice or on the dates specified in Section 2(d), Section 2(e), or Section 9, as applicable, notwithstanding the fact that, prior to any such date, subsequent vesting ceases to be conditioned upon your continued employment with the Company or any other substantial risk of forfeiture ceases to exist. A vested Stock Unit remains subject to the terms, conditions and forfeiture provisions provided for in the Plan and in this Agreement.

(b) Vesting Schedule. So long as your Service is continuous from the Grant Date through the applicable date upon which vesting is scheduled to occur and all other conditions for earning the Stock Units as set forth in the Notice have been satisfied, the Stock Units will become vested and nonforfeitable on the vesting dates set forth in the correlating Notice. If the Notice indicates that your restricted stock units award is a Qualified Performance-Based Award, then in no event will vesting under this Section 2(b) occur before the Executive Compensation Committee has certified in writing the extent to which the applicable Performance Threshold has been satisfied. If the Notice reflects that your restricted stock award is subject to satisfaction of a Performance Threshold then, to the extent that satisfaction of the Performance Threshold is determined based on information reported by a Peer Company in financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or information otherwise disclosed by a Peer Company in a press release, such a determination shall be final and conclusive and no adjustment thereafter shall be made to the number of Stock Units eligible to vest in the event that a Peer Company thereafter files or discloses restated or updated financial information. To the extent that satisfaction of the Performance Threshold is to be determined based on information reported by Peer Companies, any Peer Company that has not filed

financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise disclosed in a press release the relevant financial information for the Performance Period within 45 days after the end of the Performance Period in question, will not be considered a Peer Company for purposes of the determination. To the extent that satisfaction of the Performance Threshold is to be determined based on financial information reported for a specified period ending on the close of a calendar quarter and a Peer Company reports its relevant financial information over a fiscal period that does not end on the close of a calendar quarter, the Committee shall use the financial information reported by such Peer Company that most closely correlates to the duration of the Performance Period as reported before the close of the Performance Period. For example, if the Performance Period is the 12-month period that ends December 31, 2012, and a Peer Company’s fiscal year ends on October 31, 2012, then for purposes of calculating the Performance Threshold and the extent to which such Performance Threshold has been satisfied, the relevant financial information for the 12-month period that ends October 31, 2012 will be used for such Peer Company.

(i) If, as of the date on which your Termination of Service occurs, you have attained age 60 and have at least ten years of Service credit with the Company (as determined by the Committee), including Service with any successor to the Company, then, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the then-unvested Stock Units that have not been previously forfeited and which are scheduled to vest within the 36-month period immediately following your Termination of Service will become vested and nonforfeitable, notwithstanding the fact that your Service has terminated, on their scheduled vesting dates set forth in the correlating Notice provided that all other conditions for earning the Stock Units as set forth in the Notice are satisfied.

(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(c)(i) to the contrary, unless the Committee determines otherwise, your unvested Stock Units and all accrued dividend equivalents with respect to your unvested Stock Units will be immediately forfeited for no consideration, no further vesting will accrue and no shares of Common Stock will be delivered in respect thereof, if you breach any of the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 8.

(d) Vesting upon Death or Disability. All Stock Units that have not already vested or been previously forfeited will become vested and nonforfeitable upon your death or Termination of Service due to your Total and Permanent Disability.

(e) Double-trigger Vesting. If, coincident with or during the 18-month period following the effective date of a Change in Control, your Service is terminated either (i) by the Company or a successor to the Company, other than for Cause, Total and Permanent Disability or death or (ii) by you for Good Reason, then all Stock Units that have not already vested or been previously forfeited or terminated in connection with the Change in Control will become vested and nonforfeitable upon such Termination of Service.

3. Forfeitures Upon Termination of Service.

(a) Termination before Attaining Age 60 with 10 Years of Service. If your Service ceases for any reason before you have attained age 60 with at least ten years of Service credit with the Company (as determined by the Committee), including any successor to

the Company, all Stock Units that are not then vested and nonforfeitable, after giving effect to the applicable provisions of Section 2 above, will be immediately forfeited upon such cessation for no consideration.

(b) Termination after Attaining Age 60 with 10 Years of Service. If, as of the date on which your Termination of Service occurs, you have attained age 60 and have at least ten years of Service credit with the Company (as determined by the Committee), including any successor to the Company, then Stock Units that are not then vested and nonforfeitable, after giving effect to the applicable provisions of Section 2 above, and which are scheduled to vest on the vesting dates set forth in the correlating Notice that fall beyond the 36-month period immediately following your Termination of Service, will be immediately forfeited upon such cessation for no consideration and Section 2(c) and Section 8 will apply to the then-unvested Stock Units which are scheduled to vest within the 36-month period immediately following your Termination of Service.

(c) Forfeiture of Accrued Dividend Equivalents. Any accrued dividend equivalents attributable to forfeited Stock Units shall also be forfeited if and when the Stock Units are forfeited.

(d) Consequences of Forfeiture. You acknowledge and agree that upon the forfeiture of any unvested Stock Units, your right to receive dividend equivalents on, and all other rights, title or interest in, to or with respect to, the forfeited Stock Units and the shares into which they otherwise may have been converted shall automatically, without further act, terminate.

4. Restrictions on Transfer. Stock Units may not be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or disposed of in any way, whether by operation of law or otherwise, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and Stock Units may not be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

5. Dividend Equivalent Payments. On each dividend payment date for each regular cash dividend payable with respect to the Common Stock, the Company will pay to you in cash an amount equal to the product of (a) the per share cash dividend, multiplied by (b) the number of your Stock Units outstanding on the record date regardless of the vested or nonvested status of the Stock Units; provided, however, that if the Notice reflects that your Stock Units are subject to satisfaction of a Performance Threshold then any regular cash dividends that become payable with respect to unvested Stock Units before the Performance Threshold has been determined to have been satisfied will be accrued and held by the Company or an escrow agent appointed by the Committee until a determination has been made by the Executive Compensation Committee as to whether and the extent to which the Performance Threshold has been satisfied. Any such accrued dividends will be paid to you, without interest, within 14 days after the date on which the Executive Compensation Committee determines that, and the extent to which, the Performance Threshold has been satisfied or will be forfeited to the Company if and when the Stock Units to which they relate are forfeited due to a failure to satisfy the Performance Threshold.

year in which such settlement will be made. You are not required to make any monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if required) as a condition to settlement of the Stock Units. The Company will issue to you, in settlement of your Stock Units, the number of whole shares of Common Stock that equals the number of whole Stock Units that vested, and the vested Stock Units will cease to be outstanding upon the issuance of those shares. Unless you request the Company to deliver a share certificate to you, or deliver shares electronically or in certificate form to your designated broker, bank or nominee on your behalf, the Company will retain the shares in uncertificated book entry form.

7. Tax Withholding.

(a) General Authority to Withhold. By accepting the Notice correlating with these Terms, you agree to make adequate provision for foreign (non-United States), federal, state and local taxes and social insurance contributions required by law to be withheld, if any, which arise in connection with the Stock Units. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any compensation or any other payment of any kind due you (including withholding the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock) the amount of any foreign (non-United States), federal, state or local taxes and social insurance contributions required by law to be withheld as a result of the vesting or settlement of the Stock Units, in whole or in part, or as otherwise may be required by applicable law; provided, however, that the value of the shares of Common Stock withheld may not exceed, by more than a fractional share, the statutory minimum withholding amount required by law. In lieu of such deduction, the Company may require you to make a cash payment to the Company equal to the amount required to be withheld. If you do not make such payment when requested, the Company may refuse to issue any Common Stock or deliver any stock certificate under this Agreement or otherwise release for transfer any such shares until arrangements satisfactory to the Company for such payment have been made.

(b) Withholding Taxes Satisfied with Shares of Common Stock. The Company may, in its sole discretion, permit or require you to satisfy, in whole or in part, any tax withholding or social insurance contribution obligation which may arise in connection with the Stock Units either by having the Company withhold from the shares to be issued upon vesting that number of shares, or by delivering to the Company already-owned shares, in either case having a fair market value equal to no more than the amount necessary to satisfy the statutory minimum withholding amount due.

8. Restrictive Covenants.

Notwithstanding anything in Section 2 or Section 3 to the contrary, unless the Committee determines otherwise, upon the occurrence of any Prohibited Action set forth in Section 8(b), the following shall occur with respect to your Stock Units: (i) no further Stock Units will become vested and (ii) Stock Units that are not then vested and nonforfeitable will be immediately forfeited for no consideration.

Any invalid or unenforceable provision shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic and/or customer limitations permitted by the applicable laws, so as to be valid and enforceable.

(d) Notification To Company.

Adjustments under this paragraph will be made by the Committee, whose determination regarding such adjustments will be final, binding and conclusive.

(b) Discretionary Adjustments. In the case of a merger, consolidation, stock rights offering, liquidation, statutory share exchange or similar event affecting Price Group, the Committee may make such other adjustments to outstanding Stock Units as it determines to be appropriate and desirable, which adjustments may include, without limitation, (i) the cancellation of outstanding Stock Units in exchange for payments of cash, securities or other property or a combination thereof having an aggregate value equal to the value of such Stock Units, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, (ii) the substitution of securities or other property (including, without limitation, cash or other securities of Price Group and securities of entities other than Price Group) for the shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding Stock Units, and (iii) the substitution of equivalent awards, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, of the surviving or successor entity or a parent thereof; provided, however, that all adjustments shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and provided further that the Committee shall not have the authority to make adjustments pursuant to this paragraph to the extent that the existence of such authority would cause the Stock Units to fail to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

(c) Dissolution or Liquidation. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, all of the Stock Units shall terminate upon the dissolution or liquidation of Price Group.

(d) Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, in the event that a Change in Control occurs, outstanding Stock Units will terminate upon the effective time of such Change in Control unless provision is made in connection with the transaction for the continuation or assumption of such Stock Units by, or for the substitution of equivalent units, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, of, the surviving or successor entity or a parent thereof. In the event of such termination, (i) the outstanding Stock Units that will terminate upon the effective time of the Change in Control shall, immediately before the effective time of the Change in Control, become fully vested, and (ii) the Committee may take any of the actions set forth in Section 9(b) with respect to any or all of the Stock Units. Implementation of the provisions of the immediately foregoing sentence shall be conditioned upon consummation of the Change in Control.

10. Non-Guarantee of Employment. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall alter your employment status with the Company, nor be construed as a contract of employment between the Company and you, or as a contractual right of you to continue in the employ of the Company for any period of time, or as a limitation of the right of the Company to discharge you at any time with or without cause or notice and whether or not such discharge results in the forfeiture of any Stock Units or any other adverse effect on your interests under the Plan.

11. Rights as Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to dividend equivalent payments, neither you nor any other person claiming through you shall have any rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to the Stock Units, including without limitation, any voting rights, unless and until such shares are duly issued and delivered to you.

12. The Company’s Rights. The existence of the Stock Units will not affect in any way the right or power of the Price Group 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, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, 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 sale or transfer of all or any part of the Company’s assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
