GlobalShare Program Amendment
                          -----------------------------


                  RESOLVED, that Subsection (ii) of Section (l) of Article 2 of
         the Heidrick & Struggles GlobalShare Programs II and Subsection (ii) of
         Section (m) of Article 2 of the Heidrick & Struggles GlobalShare
         Program I are hereby amended to read as follows:

                  "(l)(ii) as of any date on or after an Initial Public
                  Offering, the value of a Share as determined by the Committee
                  or under procedures established by the Committee. Unless
                  otherwise determined by the Committee, the value of a Share as
                  of any date on or after an Initial Public Offering shall be
                  the arithmetic mean of the high and low prices of the Shares
                  as reported on such date on the Composite Tape of the
                  principal national securities exchange on which such Shares
                  are listed or admitted to trading, or, if no Composite Tape
                  exists for such national securities exchange on such date,
                  then on the principal national securities exchange on which
                  such Shares are listed or admitted to trading, or, if the
                  Shares are not listed or admitted on a national securities
                  exchange, the arithmetic mean of the per Share closing bid
                  price and per Share closing asked price on such date as quoted
                  on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
                  Quotation System (or such market in which such prices are
                  regularly quoted), or, if there is no market on which the
                  Shares are regularly quoted, the Fair Market Value shall be
                  the value established by the Committee in good faith. If no
                  sale of Shares shall have been reported on such Composite Tape
                  or such national securities exchange on such date or quoted on
                  the National Association of Securities Dealer Automated
                  Quotation System on such date, then the immediately preceding
                  date on which sales of the Shares have been so reported or
                  quoted shall be used."

                  "(m)(ii) as of any date on or after an Initial Public
                  Offering, the value of a Share as determined by the Committee
                  or under procedures established by the Committee. Unless
                  otherwise determined by the Committee, the value of a Share as
                  of any date on or after an Initial Public Offering shall be
                  the arithmetic mean of the high and low prices of the Shares
                  as reported on such date on the Composite Tape of the
                  principal national securities exchange on which such Shares
                  are listed or admitted to trading, or, if no Composite Tape
                  exists for such national securities exchange on such date,
                  then on the principal national securities exchange on


                  which such Shares are listed or admitted to trading, or, if
                  the Shares are not listed or admitted on a

                  national securities exchange, the arithmetic mean of the per
                  Share closing bid price and per Share closing asked price on
                  such date as quoted on the National Association of Securities
                  Dealers Automated Quotation System (or such market in which
                  such prices are regularly quoted), or, if there is no market
                  on which the Shares are regularly quoted, the Fair Market
                  Value shall be the value established by the Committee in good
                  faith. If no sale of Shares shall have been reported on such
                  Composite Tape or such national securities exchange on such
                  date or quoted on the National Association of Securities
                  Dealer Automated Quotation System on such date, then the
                  immediately preceding date on which sales of the Shares have
                  been so reported or quoted shall be used."

                  RESOLVED, that Article 17 of the Heidrick & Struggles
         GlobalShare Programs I and II is hereby amended to read as follows:

                  "The Program shall be governed by and construed in accordance
                  with the laws of the State of Illinois applicable to contracts
                  made and to be performed in the State of Illinois."


                          GlobalShare Program Amendment
                          -----------------------------

                  RESOLVED, that Article 3 of the 1998 Heidrick & Struggles
         GlobalShare Program II is hereby amended in its entirety to read as
         follows:


         3.       Shares Subject to the Program

                  The total number of Shares authorized or reserved for issuance
         upon the exercise or issuance of all Awards under the Program and the
         1998 Heidrick & Struggles GlobalShare Program I ("Program I") (herein
         collectively referred to as the "Overall Program"), subject to
         adjustments upon certain events described in Article 11 of the Program,
         shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of
         the highest number of Shares which are issued and outstanding from time
         to time during the term of the Overall Program, provided, however, that
         in no event will the sum of the total number of Shares authorized or
         reserved for issuance upon the exercise or issuance of all Awards
         granted under the Overall Program plus the total amount of the
         Company's issued and outstanding Shares exceed the number of Shares
         authorized for issuance under the Company's Amended and Restated
         Certificate of Incorporation. The aggregate maximum number of Shares
         for which Awards may be granted under the Overall Program during a
         calendar year to any Participant in either the Program or Program I
         shall be 275,000. The Shares may consist, in whole or in part, of
         authorized and unissued Shares or treasury Shares or Shares which are
         authorized and issued and have been acquired by or on behalf of the
         Company or the Overall Program and are available for Awards under the
         Overall Program. The issuance of Shares or the payment of cash upon the
         exercise of an Award shall reduce the total number of Shares available
         under the Overall Program, as applicable. Shares which are subject to
         Awards which are forfeited, terminated, or expire unexercised may be
         granted again under the Overall Program.


                          GlobalShare Program Amendment
                          -----------------------------

                  RESOLVED, that Article 3 of the 1998 Heidrick & Struggles
         GlobalShare Program I is hereby amended in its entirety to read as
         follows:


         3.       Shares Subject to the Program

                  The total number of Shares authorized or reserved for issuance
         upon the exercise or issuance of all Awards under the Program and the
         1998 Heidrick & Struggles GlobalShare Program II ("Program II") (herein
         collectively referred to as the "Overall Program"), subject to
         adjustments upon certain events described in Article 11 of the Program,
         shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of
         the highest number of Shares which are issued and outstanding from time
         to time during the term of the Overall Program, provided, however, that
         in no event will the sum of the total number of Shares authorized or
         reserved for issuance upon the exercise or issuance of all Awards
         granted under the Overall Program plus the total amount of the
         Company's issued and outstanding Shares exceed the number of Shares
         authorized for issuance under the Company's Amended and Restated
         Certificate of Incorporation. The aggregate maximum number of Shares
         for which Awards may be granted under the Overall Program during a
         calendar year to any Participant in either the Program or Program II
         shall be 275,000. The Shares may consist, in whole or in part, of
         authorized and unissued Shares or treasury Shares or Shares which are
         authorized and issued and have been acquired by or on behalf of the
         Company or the Overall Program and are available for Awards under the
         Overall Program. The issuance of Shares or the payment of cash upon the
         exercise of an Award shall reduce the total number of Shares available
         under the Overall Program, as applicable. Shares which are subject to
         Awards which are forfeited, terminated, or expire unexercised may be
         granted again under the Overall Program.
