(As Amended and Restated Effective as of January 1, 2005)

(As Further Amended and Restated with respect to Specified Elective Accounts Effective as of March 1, 2013)

1. Introduction

1.01 Purpose of the Plan. The purpose of this Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan is to enhance the overall effectiveness of the Company’s executive compensation program by providing a vehicle for the deferral of compensation of a select group of the Company’s executives and highly compensated employees.

1.02 Effect of Restatement. This Plan, as amended and restated, is intended to comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”). All amounts credited and vested under the Plan prior to January 1, 2005 (and all deemed earnings and losses thereon) are intended to be treated as a separate “grandfathered” plan for these purposes and not subject to Section 409A unless such plan is materially modified within the meaning of Section 409A and applicable guidance thereunder following October 3, 2004.

Accordingly, other than with respect to the Specified Elective Accounts, as defined below (and all deemed earnings and losses thereon) from and after the Restatement Date, all Elective Incentive Pay Credits that were credited under the Plan prior to January 1, 2005 (and deemed earnings and losses thereon) are considered to be “Grandfathered Accounts.” Similarly, all Bonus Deferral Credits that were vested under the Plan prior to January 1, 2005 (and deemed earnings and losses thereon) are considered to be “Grandfathered Accounts.” Grandfathered Accounts shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan as in effect on December 31, 2004. All Bonus Deferral Credits that were credited on or after January 1, 2005 or that were credited before January 1, 2005 under the Plan but that were not yet vested on December 31, 2004 (and deemed earnings and losses thereon) are governed by the terms of the Plan as amended and restated as of January 1, 2005, which terms have been incorporated into this amended and restated Plan.

Effective as of March 1, 2013 (the “Restatement Date”), all Elective Incentive Pay Credits (and all deemed earnings and losses thereon) that were considered Grandfathered Accounts as of immediately prior to the Restatement Date and as to which payment has not yet commenced or been made as of the Restatement Date, (the “Specified Elective Accounts”) shall, as of the Restatement Date, cease to be considered Grandfathered Accounts subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan as in effect on December 31, 2004, and instead, such Specified Elective Accounts shall be governed by the terms of this amended and restated Plan.

This paragraph shall not apply with respect to any portion of the Participant’s Frozen Specific-Year Account.

8B. Distribution Elections and Distributions with Respect to Specified Elective Accounts. The provisions of this Section 8B apply only to the Accounts (and deemed earnings and losses thereon) that are Specified Elective Accounts, effective as of the Restatement Date.

8B.01. Specified Elective Account Distribution Election. Notwithstanding any Specific-Year Election or Retirement Election or any provision of the Plan in effect prior to the Effective Date, effective as of the Restatement Date, a Participant’s Specified Elective Accounts shall be paid in ten (10) annual installments commencing on the Scheduled Distribution Date that occurs in the Plan Year immediately following the Plan Year in which the earliest of the following events occurs:

(a) the Participant’s Retirement;

(b) the Participant’s Disability;

(c) the Participant’s termination of employment (which is also a “separation from service” under Section 409A) for any reason other than Retirement, death, or Disability; or

(d) the Participant’s attainment of age 70 while employed;

provided, that upon the Participant’s death, the Participant’s Specified Elective Accounts shall be paid to the Beneficiary of the Participant in a lump sum payment as soon as practicable (and in no event later than 70 days following) the Participant’s death.

-14-

8B.02. Change in Time and Form of Payment of Specified Elective Account. To the extent permitted by the Administrator and in accordance with its procedures, a Participant may elect to change the time and form of payment of the Participant’s Specified Elective Accounts, provided that: (i) the Participant’s election may not be effective until 12 months after the date such election is made; (ii) in the case of a payment at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule, the election must be made at least 12 months prior to the date the payment would otherwise be made (or, in the case of installment payments, the date the first amount was scheduled to be made); and (iii) in the case of a payment not on account of the Participant’s death or Disability or on account of the occurrence of an Unforeseeable Emergency, the payment is delayed by at least five years from the original payment date (or in the case of installment payments, the date the first amount was scheduled to be made).

8B.03 Distributions of Specified Elective Accounts. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8B.03(b), this Section 8B.03 (and not Section 9) shall apply to distributions of Specified Elective Accounts notwithstanding anything in Section 9 to the contrary.

(a) The Participant’s Specified Elective Accounts shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 8B.01, except as may be modified in accordance with (and only as permitted and effective under) Section 8B.02.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is deemed on the date of his “separation from service” to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Section 409A, then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A (after taking into account all applicable exclusions and exemptions) and that is payable on account of the Participant’s “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided until the date which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of the Participant’s “separation from service” , and (ii) the date of the Participant’s death (the “Delayed Payment Date”, and the period from the date of termination through Delayed Payment Date, the “Delay Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this paragraph (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed on the first business day following the expiration of the Delay Period to the Participant in a lump sum, and any remaining payments shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

(b) For purposes of determining the amount of a distribution made on a Scheduled Distribution Date, a Participant’s Specified Elective Accounts shall be valued in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01.

-15-

9. Distributions

Except as otherwise provided in Section 8B with respect to Specified Elective Accounts:

9.01. Valuation of Accounts.

(a) For purposes of determining the amount of a distribution made on a Scheduled Distribution Date, a Participant’s Account shall be valued as of the January 1 Valuation Date immediately preceding such Scheduled Distribution Date.

(b) For purposes of determining the amount of a distribution made on a date other than a Scheduled Distribution Date, a Participant’s Account shall be valued as of the last Quarterly Date preceding the date of the distribution. In the event that a distribution would otherwise be made on a date that is more than 60 days after the most recent Quarterly Date, the distribution shall be postponed until after the next Quarterly Date.

9.02. Specific-Year Distribution.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9, a Participant’s Specific-Year Account shall be distributed at the time and in the manner specified in his or her Specific-Year Election.

(b) In no event may the amount distributed to a Participant pursuant to a Specific-Year Account Election exceed the amount of his or her Vested Specific-Year Account. Any amount that is prevented from being distributed pursuant to this limitation shall be retained in the Specific-Year Account.

(c) If, as a result of the limitation in Section 9.02(b), an amount remains in a Participant’s Specific-Year Account after the last scheduled installment has been distributed, such amount shall be distributed to the Participant if and to the extent it becomes vested on the next Scheduled Distribution Date.

9.03. Distribution Upon Retirement (and Six Month Delay for Specified Employees).

(a) Following a Participant’s Retirement, the balance in his or her Vested Retirement Account shall be distributed in accordance with his or her Retirement Election. A lump-sum payment shall be made, and an installment distribution shall commence, on the Scheduled Distribution Date that occurs in the Plan Year immediately following the Plan Year in which the Participant terminates employment by reason of Retirement.

-16-

If a Participant is deemed to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such Participant’s Retirement, then, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A with respect to his or her Vested Retirement Account, distributions of such amount shall not be paid (or commence) earlier than the date that is at least six months following the date of such specified employee’s “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A). If applicable, in the case of a lump sum, such amount shall be paid on the first day of the seventh month following the Retirement. If applicable, in the case of installment payments, any installment that the Participant would have otherwise received hereunder during such six month period shall be accumulated and paid on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Retirement.

(b) If, at the time of a Participant’s Retirement, distributions of his or her Vested Specific-Year Account have commenced pursuant to a Specific-Year Election, any remaining installments shall be paid in accordance with such Specific-Year Election.

(c) If, at the time of a Participant’s Retirement, payments pursuant to a Specific-Year Election have not commenced, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, the Participant’s Specific-Year Election shall be of no further effect and the Participant’s Specific-Year Account shall be distributed in the same manner as his or her Retirement Account pursuant to Sections 9.03(a) and 9.04.

9.04. Post-Retirement Probation Period. If, following a Participant’s Retirement, the unvested portions of his or her Retirement Account and (if applicable) Specific-Year Account become vested in accordance with Section 7.04 at the end of the Participant’s Probation Period, such portions shall be payable as provided in this Section 9.04.

(a) If, at the end of the Probation Period, one or more payment dates remain pursuant to the Participant’s Retirement Election and/or Specific-Year Election, the newly vested portions of the Participant’s Retirement Account and Specific-Year Account shall be distributed ratably with the remainder of the Participant’s Retirement Account and Specific-Year Account, respectively, in accordance with such election.

(b) If, prior to the end of the Probation Period, all other amounts in the Participant’s Retirement Account and/or Specific-Year Account had been distributed, the newly vested amount in the Participant’s Retirement Account and/or Specific-Year Account shall be distributed in a lump sum on the first Scheduled Distribution Date following the end of the Probation Period.

9.05. Distribution Following Death or Disability. In the event of a Participant’s termination of employment by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability, then notwithstanding the Participant’s Retirement Election and any Specific-Year Elections the balance in his or her Account shall be distributed to the Participant (or, in the event of the Participant’s death, to his or her Beneficiary) as soon as practicable and in no event later than 70 days following such event.

-17-

9.06. Distribution Following Termination for Other Reasons. In the event of a Participant’s termination of employment (which is also a “separation from service” under Section 409A) for any reason other than Retirement, death, or Disability, then notwithstanding the Participant’s Retirement Election and any Specific-Year Elections the balance in the Participant’s Vested Account shall be paid to him or her in a lump sum as soon as practicable following such termination but in no event later than 70 days following such termination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required under Section 409A due to the fact that the Participant is a “specified employee” under Section 409A and the amount payable is considered “deferred compensation” of a type requiring a six-month delay under Section 409A, the amount payable shall be subject to a six-month delay in payment, and shall be paid on the first day of the seventh month following the termination of employment.

10. Beneficiary Designation

10.01. A Participant may from time to time designate one or more Beneficiaries to receive such benefits as may be payable under the Plan on or after the Participant’s death on such form as the Administrator shall prescribe. Any such designation will be effective only if properly filed with the Administrator during the Participant’s lifetime, and shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant.

10.02. To the extent permitted by Section 409A, if at the time a benefit payment is due following a Participant’s death there is no living Beneficiary validly named by the Participant, the Company shall pay any such benefit payment in order of priority to (i) the Participant’s spouse, (ii) the Participant’s then living descendants, if any,per stirpes, or (iii) the Participant’s estate. In determining the existence or identity of anyone entitled to a benefit payment, the Administrator may rely conclusively upon information supplied by the Participant’s personal representative, executor, or administrator. If a question arises as to the existence or identity of anyone entitled to receive a benefit payment, or if a dispute arises with respect to any such payment, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, distribute such payment to the Participant’s estate without liability for any tax or other consequences that might flow therefrom or may take such other action as it deems appropriate.

11. Change in Control

11.01. The Administrator may take such actions in anticipation of a Change in Control as it deems appropriate to ensure the security of Participants’ benefit entitlements with respect to their Vested Accounts.

-18-

11.02. In the event of the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company shall, prior to such Change in Control or within 30 days thereafter, contribute to a “rabbi trust” assets having a fair market value at least equal to the sum of the Vested Account balances of the Participants in the Plan at such time. Under the terms of the trust agreement establishing such rabbi trust, assets of the rabbi trust shall be available only to pay benefits under the Plan except in the event of the Company’s bankruptcy or insolvency (or under such other limited circumstances as may be required to enable the Plan to continue to be treated as “unfunded” for Federal income tax and ERISA purposes).

12. Distribution on Unforeseeable Emergency:

12.01. Unforeseeable Emergencies. In the event of a Participant’s Unforeseeable Emergency (as defined below), such Participant may request a distribution from his or her Vested Account. Any such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator, which approval (a) shall only be granted to the extent reasonably needed to satisfy the need created by the Unforeseeable Emergency (which will take into account any additional compensation available due to cancellation of deferral elections hereunder), plus an amount necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, and (b) shall not be granted to the extent that such need may be relieved (i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise (ii) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship) or (iii) by cessation of deferrals under the Plan. Any such request must be accompanied or supplemented by such written documentation supporting the request as the Administrator may require. An unforeseeable emergency withdrawal pursuant to this Section 12.01 shall be taken first from the Participant’s Vested Retirement Account to the extent thereof and then from the Participant’s Vested Specific-Year Account.

12.02. Ineligibility to Make Incentive Pay Deferral Election. Any Participant who receives a distribution pursuant to Section 12.01 shall be ineligible to make an Incentive Pay Deferral Election with respect to any Incentive Pay to which the Participant becomes entitled on account of the Performance Year during which such distribution is paid.

12.03. Unforeseeable Emergency. An “Unforeseeable Emergency” means severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or his or her dependent, loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the Participant’s control. Examples of circumstances not qualifying as an Unforeseeable Emergency include the need to send a Participant’s child to college and the desire to purchase a home.

-19-

13. Administration

The Administrator shall administer the Plan in accordance with its terms and shall have all powers necessary to carry out the provisions of the Plan, including without limitation the power to delegate specific responsibilities for the operation and administration of the Plan to employees or agents. The Administrator shall have the full discretionary authority to interpret the Plan and shall determine all questions arising in the administration, interpretation, and application of the Plan, including but not limited to questions of eligibility and the status and rights of Employees, Participants, and other persons. Benefits shall be paid under the Plan only if the Administrator in its sole discretion determines that the applicant is entitled to them. Any such determination by the Committee shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

14. General Provisions

14.01. No Contract of Employment. The establishment of the Plan shall not be construed as conferring any legal rights upon any employee or Participant for a continuation of employment, nor shall it interfere with the rights of the Company to discharge any employee or Participant and to treat such person without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon such person as a Participant in the Plan.

14.02. Withholding. As a condition to a Participant’s entitlement to benefits hereunder, the Company shall have the right to deduct from any amounts otherwise payable to a Participant, whether pursuant to the Plan or otherwise, or otherwise to collect from the Participant, any required withholding taxes with respect to benefits under the Plan.

14.03. Participant Elections. Any elections or designations by the Participant under this Plan shall be made in such manner and under such procedures, including by electronic means, as the Administrator may prescribe from time to time.

14.04. Non-Assignability of Benefits. Subject to any applicable law, no benefit under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to, nor shall the Administrator be obligated to recognize, any purported anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to do so shall be void. No such benefit shall in any manner be liable for or subject to garnishment, attachment, execution, or a levy, or liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of the Participant.

14.05. Incapacity of Recipient. If any person entitled to a distribution under the Plan is deemed by the Administrator to be incapable of personally receiving and giving a valid receipt for such payment, then unless and until claims therefore shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian or other legal representative of such person, the Administrator may provide for such payment or any part thereof to be made to any other person or institution then contributing toward or providing for the care and maintenance of such person. Any such payment shall be a payment for the account of such person and a complete discharge of any liability of the Administrator, the Company, and the Plan therefor.

-20-

14.06. Unclaimed Benefit. In the event that all or any portion of the distribution payable to a Participant or Beneficiary hereunder shall, at the expiration of five years after it shall become payable, remain unpaid solely by reason of the inability of the Administrator to ascertain the whereabouts of such Participant or Beneficiary after sending a registered letter, return receipt requested, to the last known address and after further diligent effort, the amount so distributable shall be treated as a forfeiture and shall be retained by the Company as part of its general assets.

14.07. Claims Procedure. A claim for a Plan benefit shall be deemed filed when a written communication is made by a Participant or Beneficiary, or the authorized representative of either, which is reasonably calculated to bring the claim to the attention of the Administrator. If a claim is wholly or partially denied, notice of such decision shall be furnished to the claimant in written or electronic format within 90 days after receipt of the claim by the Administrator. Such notice shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, (i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial, (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (iv) an explanation of the Plan’s claims review procedure, including a statement of the Participant’s rights to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review. If no such notice is furnished to the claimant within 90 days after receipt of a claim by the Administrator, such claim shall be deemed wholly denied.

Within 60 days from the receipt of the notice of denial, a claimant may appeal such denial to the Administrator for a full and fair review. The review shall be instituted by the filing of a written request for review by the claimant or his or her authorized representative within the 60-day period referred to above. A request for review shall be deemed filed as of the date of receipt of such written request by the Administrator. The claimant or his or her authorized representative shall have the right to review all pertinent documents, may submit issues and comments in writing, and may do such other appropriate things as the Administrator may allow. The decision of the Administrator shall be made not later than 60 days after the receipt of the request for review, unless special circumstances, such as the need to hold a hearing, require an extension of time, in which case a decision shall be rendered not later than 120 days after the receipt of a request for review. Such decision shall be final and binding on the claimant.

-21-

14.08. Successor Companies. The Plan shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, and whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by written agreement to expressly assume and agree to perform the Company’s obligations under the Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform them if no such succession had taken place. The provisions of this Section 14.08 shall continue to apply to each subsequent Company of the Participant hereunder in the event of any subsequent merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets of such subsequent Company.

14.09. Governing Law. This Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

14.10 Section 409A of the Code.

(a) This Plan is intended to comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A and shall be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. Consistent with the foregoing, any changes made in the amended and restated Plan to provisions affecting the Grandfathered Account are intended to be clarifying changes consistent with historic practices in administering the Plan prior to the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Specified Elective Accounts: (i) the restatement of the Plan as of the Restatement Date is intended to be a material modification of the Plan with respect to such Specified Elective Accounts, and (ii) from and after the Restatement Date, the Plan, as amended hereby, is intended to comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A and shall be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. The Company makes no guarantee with respect to the tax treatment of payments hereunder, and the Company shall not be responsible in any event with regard to non-compliance with Section 409A.

(b) If under this Plan, an amount is to be paid in two or more installments, for purposes of Section 409A, each installment shall be treated as a separate payment.

15. Source of Benefits

The Plan is an unfunded plan maintained by the Company for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees. Benefits under the Plan shall be payable from the general assets of the Company. The Plan shall not be construed as conferring on a Participant any right, title, interest, or claim in or to any specific asset, reserve, account, or property of any kind possessed by the Company. References in the Plan to Deemed Investment Choices are for the sole purpose of attributing hypothetical investment performance to each Participant’s Deemed Investment Account. Nothing herein shall require the Company to invest, earmark, or set aside its general assets in any specific manner. To the extent that a Participant or any other person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor.

-22-

16. Effective Date

This Plan was initially effective January 1, 2001, was amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2005, and is now hereby amended and restated effective as of March 1, 2013.

17. Amendment or Termination

The Board reserves the right to amend or terminate this Plan at any time; provided, however, that without such Participant’s written consent, no amendment or termination of the Plan shall adversely affect the right of any Participant to receive, or otherwise result in a material adverse effect on such Participant’s rights under the Plan with respect to, his or her accrued benefits as determined as of the date of amendment or termination. The lump-sum payment to a Participant of his or her entire Account balance upon a Plan termination, effected in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code, shall not be deemed to violate the proviso of the preceding sentence.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has adopted this amendment and restatement of Plan on this 1^st day of March 2013.
