(a)    Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Executive hereby subscribes for and agrees to acquire, and the Partnership hereby agrees to distribute to Executive, a Class L Interest, in exchange for the services to be performed for the Partnership by Executive, with such distribution occurring on the date of this Agreement.

(b)    Executive hereby agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement and agrees to execute any documents or agreements required by the General Partner in connection with his subscription and admission as a limited partner of the Partnership, including a counterpart of the Partnership Agreement, if applicable. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Class L Interest shall be subject, in all respects, to the terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement. Executive is not obligated (now or in the future) to make any Capital Contribution to the Partnership on account of the Class L Interest.

(c)    Executive should consult his tax advisor regarding the consequences of the receipt, holding and sale of the Class L Interest.

Executive represents and warrants, as of the date hereof, that:

(a)    Executive has full legal capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement and to perform his obligations hereunder and thereunder. This Agreement and the Partnership Agreement have been duly authorized (if applicable), executed and delivered by Executive and are the legal, valid and binding obligations of Executive

enforceable against him in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and the availability of equitable remedies.

(b)    Executive acknowledges and agrees that he previously has been furnished with the Partnership Agreement, and has been given the opportunity to examine all documents and to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Partnership and its representatives concerning the Partnership, the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership’s organizational documents and the terms and conditions of distribution of the Class L Interest and to obtain any additional information which Executive deems necessary. Executive has been advised that the Class L Interest is subject to restrictions upon transfer as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.

(a)    Subject to Section 6, the Class L Interest shall be entitled to receive a cash distribution of a portion of the Profits of the Partnership for [YEAR] that is in an amount equal to between 0% and ●% of the Adjusted Operating Income (as defined below) for such year, with such final amount to be determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion no later than March 15, [YEAR]. For the avoidance of doubt, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, determine that the Class L Interest shall not receive any distribution pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)    “Adjusted Operating Income” means Income Before Income Taxes of the Partnership for [YEAR], determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and adjusted in the manner consistent with the most recent quarterly earnings release of Evercore Inc. prior to the date hereof to calculate Adjusted Results for the related period earnings of Evercore Inc.

(b)    Each Class L Interest shall, upon satisfaction of the distribution described in Section 3, if any, be immediately cancelled without any additional consideration.

5.    Restrictive Covenants.

Executive acknowledges and agrees that Evercore’s remedies at law for a breach of any of the

2

provisions of the Restrictive Covenant Agreement would be inadequate and Evercore would suffer irreparable damages as a result of such breach or threatened breach. In recognition of this fact, Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach, in addition to any remedies at law or equity, the Class L Interest shall be immediately cancelled without any additional consideration on the date of any such breach, and Executive shall not be entitled to any distribution contemplated by Section 3.

6.    Clawback/Forfeiture; Other Evercore Policies.

(a)    Tax Issues. THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE CLASS L INTEREST TO EXECUTIVE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT INVOLVES COMPLEX AND SUBSTANTIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONSIDERATION OF THE ADVISABILITY OF EXECUTIVE MAKING AN ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES HE HAS CONSULTED HIS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

(b)    Transfers.
