<DIV align="left"><A NAME="000"></A></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On June&nbsp;8, 2009, the Compensation and Personnel Committee (the &#147;Committee&#148;) of the Board of
Directors (the &#147;Board&#148;) of Korn/Ferry International (the &#147;Company&#148;) approved the Form of Restricted
Stock Award Agreement and Form of Stock Option Agreement (each an &#147;Agreement,&#148; and collectively,
the &#147;Agreements&#148;) to be used to set forth the terms of grants of restricted stock (both time- and
performance-based) and stock option awards to certain participants in the Korn/Ferry International
2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;), including the Company&#146;s named executive officers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Each of the Agreements contemplate that awards will vest pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth
in the Agreement (and related notice thereof), subject to the continued employment of the
participant, the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the Plan. Pursuant to the Form of
Restricted Stock Award Agreement, a participant will forfeit any unvested portion of the award upon
a termination of employment with the Company for any reason. Pursuant to the Form of Stock Option
Agreement, a participant, or their estate, heir or beneficiary, if applicable, may exercise all of
the award upon a termination of employment with the Company due to death or disability for a period
of one year commencing on the date of death or termination due to disability, as applicable, and
will forfeit any unvested portion of the award upon a termination of employment with the Company
for any other reason.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s stockholders approved the Plan at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. As
previously disclosed, the Plan will be administered by the Committee. Any current or prospective
officers or employees, nonemployee directors and any other service providers of the Company and its
subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan provides the Committee with the
authority to award options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and
cash incentive compensation awards, any of which may be structured to qualify in whole or in part
as performance awards. Subject to certain adjustments, the maximum number of shares of the
Company&#146;s common stock, par value $0.01 (the &#147;Common Stock&#148;) that may be issued pursuant to awards
granted under the Plan will be 1,620,000 plus any shares subject to outstanding awards under the
Company&#146;s Performance Award Plan, as of July&nbsp;25, 2008, that on or after such date cease for any
reason to be subject to such awards (other than by reason of exercise or settlement of the awards
to the extent they are exercised for or settled in vested and nonforfeitable shares). The number
of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan, pursuant to full-value awards (meaning
awards other than options and stock appreciation rights) is limited by operation of a
share-counting formula in which full-value awards count as 1.8 shares against the pool of shares
available for issuance under the Plan.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to awards under the Plan during any calendar
year to any one participant may not exceed 500,000, subject to certain adjustments. The aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options
intended to qualify as &#147;incentive stock options&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;), may not exceed 1,620,000, subject to certain
adjustments. The maximum cash amount payable pursuant to that portion of a cash incentive
compensation award granted in any calendar year to any participant under the Plan that is intended
to satisfy the requirements for &#147;performance-based compensation&#148; under Section 162(m) of the Code
may not exceed $5,000,000. Subject to certain exceptions, the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock subject to options and stock appreciation rights granted under the Plan during any calendar
year to any one nonemployee director may not exceed 50,000 and the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock issued or issuable under all awards granted under the Plan other than options or stock
appreciation rights during any calendar year to any one nonemployee director may not exceed 25,000.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Plan prohibits granting stock options or stock appreciation rights (other than in the context
of a merger or other acquisition) with exercise prices lower than the closing price of the
underlying shares of Common Stock on the grant date. The Plan prohibits the repricing of stock
options and stock appreciation rights without the approval of stockholders, either by canceling the
award to issue a replacement award to the participant at a lower price or by reducing the exercise
price of the award, other than in connection with a change in the Company&#146;s capitalization. The
term of stock options and stock appreciation rights granted pursuant to the Plan may not exceed
seven years.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Plan was effective as of the date on which it was approved by the Company&#146;s stockholders. The
Plan will terminate with respect to the grant of new awards on September&nbsp;23, 2018.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The foregoing description of the terms of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
actual terms of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On June&nbsp;9, 2009, the Board also approved a $100&nbsp;million increase in the principal amount of
deferred compensation obligations that are available for issuance under the Company&#146;s Executive
Capital Accumulation Plan (&#147;ECAP&#148;), thereby authorizing the issuance of up to $140&nbsp;million of
principal amount of deferred compensation obligations under the ECAP. This increase was not
accompanied by any changes to the terms of the ECAP, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Shares issued to the Grantee hereunder may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise
alienated or hypothecated by the Grantee prior to the date when the Shares become &#147;vested&#148; pursuant
to the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice. Any attempt to transfer Shares in violation of
this Section&nbsp;3 will be null and void and will be disregarded.

Disability. If the Grantee&#146;s continued service with the Company terminates for any reason while
the Grantee holds any Shares that have not vested (&#147;Restricted Shares&#148;), including fractional
Restricted Shares, such Restricted Shares shall be deemed reconveyed to the Company and the Company
shall thereafter be the legal and beneficial owner of the Restricted Shares and shall have all
rights and interest in or related thereto without further action by the Grantee. In the event
Restricted Shares are reconveyed to the Company, the Company shall have no further obligation or
liability to the Grantee with respect to such Restricted Shares. The foregoing forfeiture
provisions set forth in this Agreement as to Restricted Shares shall also apply to the new capital
stock or other property (including cash paid other than as a regular cash dividend) received in
exchange for the Shares in consummation of any Change in Control and such stock or property shall
be deemed Additional Securities for purposes of this Agreement, but only to the extent the Shares
are at the time covered by such forfeiture provisions.

at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, the Grantee hereby authorizes, to the fullest
extent not prohibited by applicable law, withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to
the Grantee, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for any sums required to satisfy the
