Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

For a further discussion of the Company's accounting policies, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly present the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The December 31, 2021 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are comprised of the consolidation of Evercore LP and Evercore LP's wholly-owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Evercore Group L.L.C. ("EGL"), a registered broker-dealer in the U.S. The Company's policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, as well as any variable interest entities ("VIEs") where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, when it has the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company reviews factors, including the rights of the equity holders and obligations of equity holders to absorb losses or receive expected residual returns, to determine if the investment is a VIE. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity held either directly or indirectly by the Company. The consolidation analysis is generally performed qualitatively. This analysis, which requires judgment, is performed at each reporting date.

Evercore LP is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary. Specifically, the Company has the majority economic interest in Evercore LP and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of the entity while the limited partners have no kick-out or substantive participating rights. The assets and liabilities of Evercore LP represent substantially all of the consolidated assets and liabilities of the Company with the exception of U.S. corporate taxes and related items, which are presented on the Company's (Parent Company Only) Condensed Statements of Financial Condition

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2020-06 also provides amendments to diluted earnings per share calculations, which require entities to use the if-converted method for convertible instruments and to include the effect of potential share settlement from instruments that may be settled in cash or in shares. The amendments in this update are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied using a modified or full retrospective transition method. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto.

The Company's contract assets represent arrangements in which an estimate of variable consideration has been included in the transaction price and thereby recognized as revenue that precedes the contractual due date. Under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASC 606"), revenue is recognized when all material conditions for completion have been met and it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period.

The Company recognized revenue of $6,297 and $10,505 on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $5,609 and $8,076 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, that was initially included in deferred revenue within Other Current Liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Generally, performance obligations under client arrangements will be settled within one year; therefore, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14.

The allowance for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021

Ending Balance	$	1,447	$	2,143	$	1,447	$	2,143

The change in the balance during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily related to the write-off of aged receivables.

For long-term accounts receivable and long-term contract assets, the Company monitors clients’ creditworthiness based on collection experience and other internal metrics. The following table presents the Company’s long-term accounts receivable and long-term contract assets from the Company's private and secondary fund advisory businesses as of June 30, 2022, by year of origination:

A summary of the Company's investments in the private equity funds as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was as follows:

The Company's assessment of the primary beneficiary of these entities included assessing which parties have the power to significantly impact the economic performance of these entities and the obligation to absorb losses, which could be potentially significant to the entities, or the right to receive benefits from the entities that could be potentially significant. Neither the Company nor its

related parties will have the ability to make decisions that significantly impact the economic performance of these entities.

The Company had assets of $3,225 and $3,408 included in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, related to these unconsolidated VIEs, representing the carrying value of the Company's investments in the entities.

The Company's maximum exposure to loss as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $5,524 and $5,715, respectively, which represents the carrying value of the Company's investments in these VIEs, as well as any unfunded commitments to the current and future funds.

Other Investments

In certain instances, the Company receives equity securities in private companies in exchange for advisory services. These investments, which had a balance of $608 and $676 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, are accounted for at their cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes.

Following the Glisco transaction in 2016, the Company recorded an investment in Glisco Manager Holdings LP representing the fair value of the deferred consideration resulting from this transaction. This investment is accounted for at its cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes. The Company amortizes the balance of its investment as distributions are received related to the deferred consideration. This investment was fully amortized as of June 30, 2022 and had a balance of $221 as of December 31, 2021.

Note 8 – Leases

Operating Leases – The Company leases office space under non-cancelable lease agreements, which expire on various dates through 2035. The Company reflects lease expense over the lease terms on a straight-line basis. The lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Occupancy lease agreements, in addition to base rentals, generally are subject to escalation provisions based on certain costs incurred by the landlord. The Company does not have any leases with variable lease payments. Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations includes operating lease cost for office space of $12,769 and $25,609 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $12,334 and $24,500 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and variable lease cost, which principally include costs for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other operating expenses, of $1,744 and $3,644 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $1,766 and $3,618 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

In conjunction with the lease of office space, the Company has entered into letters of credit in the amount of $5,616 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, which are secured by cash that is included in Other Assets on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The Company has entered into various operating leases for the use of office equipment (primarily computers, printers, copiers and other information technology related equipment). Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations includes operating lease cost for office equipment of $1,258 and $2,501 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $1,144 and $2,651 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

The Company uses its secured incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The determination of an appropriate incremental borrowing rate requires significant assumptions and judgment. The Company's incremental borrowing rate was calculated based on the Company's recent debt issuances and current market conditions. The Company scales the rates appropriately depending on the life of the leases.

The Company incurred net operating cash outflows of $30,201 and $22,893 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to its operating leases, which was net of cash received from lease incentives of $332 and $4,144 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Company anticipates that it will take possession of these spaces by the end of 2023. These spaces will have lease terms of 3 to 13 years once the Company has taken possession. The additional future payments under these arrangements are $230,009 as of June 30, 2022.

Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820") establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily-available active quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices, generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level 1 include listed equities, listed derivatives and treasury bills. As required by ASC 820, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation

(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

methodologies. Periodically, the Company holds investments in corporate bonds, municipal bonds and other debt securities, the estimated fair values of which are based on prices provided by external pricing services.

Level 3 – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

The following table presents the categorization of investments and certain other financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company's financial instrument assets and liabilities, which are not measured at fair value on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, are listed in the tables below.

Note 12 – Noncontrolling Interest

Noncontrolling Interest recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company relates to the following approximate interests in certain consolidated subsidiaries, which are not owned by the Company.

Evercore LP	6	%	11	%
Evercore Wealth Management ("EWM")(1)	25	%	25	%

Real Estate Capital Advisory ("RECA")(2)	—	%	38	%

(1) Noncontrolling Interests represent a blended rate for multiple classes of interests in EWM.

(2) Noncontrolling Interests represent the Class R Interests of Private Capital Advisory L.P.

The Noncontrolling Interests for Evercore LP and EWM have rights, in certain circumstances, to convert into Class A Shares.

During the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, the Company has the option to purchase, at fair value, a portion of the outstanding EWM Class A Units such that the noncontrolling interest holders would continue to hold no less than 25% of the outstanding units following the transaction. This transaction may be settled in cash, Evercore LP Units or Class A shares of the Company, at the Company’s discretion. If the Company has not exercised its option prior to the end of the option period, or the noncontrolling interest holders continue to hold greater than 25% of the outstanding units following the transaction, the noncontrolling interest holders may exchange their interests for Evercore LP Units, at fair value, sufficient to reduce their outstanding interest to 25%. As of June 30, 2022, the EWM members held 25% of the outstanding EWM Units.

Changes in Noncontrolling Interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

Other Comprehensive Income – Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Attributed to Noncontrolling Interest includes unrealized gains on securities and investments, net, of $28 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and $62 and $68 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and foreign currency translation adjustment gains (losses), net, of ($1,702) and ($1,975) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $107 and $335 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

LP Units Exchanged – On February 24, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with ISI Holding, Inc. ("ISI Holding"), the principal stockholder of which is Ed Hyman, an executive officer of the Company. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, ISI Holding exercised its existing conversion rights under the terms of the partnership agreement of Evercore LP to exchange (the "Exchange") all 2,545 of the Class E limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class E LP Units") owned by it for 2,545 Class A Shares. Following the Exchange, ISI Holding liquidated and distributed the Class A Shares received in the Exchange to its stockholders in accordance with their ownership interests in ISI Holding. The parties have relied on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 under Section 4(a)(2) thereof for the Exchange.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, an aggregate of 26 and 2,573 LP Units, respectively, were exchanged for Class A Shares, including the Class E LP Units described above. These exchanges resulted in a decrease to Noncontrolling Interest of $1,530 and $159,307 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, an increase to Additional-Paid-In-Capital of $1,530 and $159,281 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and an increase to Class A Common Stock of $26 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2022. See Note 11 for further information.

Interests Issued – During the first quarter of 2021, certain employees of EWM purchased EWM Class A Units, at fair value, resulting in an increase to Noncontrolling Interest of $975 on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2021.

Interests Purchased – During the first quarter of 2022, the Company purchased, at fair value, an additional 0.4% of the EWM Class A Units for $1,448, which was settled in cash during the three months ended June 30, 2022. This purchase resulted in a decrease to Noncontrolling Interest of $87 and a decrease to Additional-Paid-In-Capital of $1,361 on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2022.

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company purchased, at fair value, an additional 1% of the EWM Class A Units for $3,170, which was settled in cash during the three months ended June 30, 2021. This purchase resulted in a decrease to Noncontrolling Interest of $344 and a decrease to Additional Paid-In-Capital of $2,826 on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2021.

On December 31, 2021, the Company purchased, at fair value, all of the outstanding Class R Interests of Private Capital Advisory L.P. from employees of the RECA business for $54,297. Consideration for this transaction included the payment of $6,000 of cash in 2021, $27,710 of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2022, and contingent cash consideration which will be settled in early 2024. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the contingent consideration is $17,309 and $20,587, respectively, and is included within Other Long-term Liabilities on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. The amount of contingent consideration to be paid is dependent on the RECA business achieving certain revenue performance targets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized a reversal of expense of $2,701 and $3,278, respectively, within Other Operating Expenses on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, related to the change in fair value of the contingent consideration. The fair value of the contingent consideration reflects the present value of the expected payment due based on the current expectation for the business meeting the revenue performance targets. This purchase resulted in a decrease to Noncontrolling Interest of $7,137 and a decrease to Additional Paid-In-Capital of $47,160 on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition on December 31, 2021. In conjunction with this transaction, the Company will also issue two separate payments in early 2023 and 2024, contingent on continued employment with the Company, and accordingly, will be treated as compensation expense for accounting purposes in the periods earned. These payments will also be dependent on the RECA business achieving certain revenue performance targets.

(a)The Company has outstanding Class A and E LP Units, Class I limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class I LP Units") and Class K limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class K LP Units"), which give the holders the right to receive Class A Shares upon exchange on a one-for-one basis. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Class A, E, I and K LP Units were antidilutive and consequently the effect of their exchange into Class A Shares has been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders. The units that would have been included in the denominator of the computation of diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 2,656 and 3,296 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and 4,848 and 4,887 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The adjustment to the numerator, diluted net income attributable to Class A common shareholders, if the effect would have been dilutive, would have been $11,664 and $26,731 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $17,159 and $34,170 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. In computing this adjustment, the Company assumes that all Class A, E, I and K LP Units are converted into Class A Shares, that all earnings attributable to those shares are attributed to Evercore Inc. and that the Company is subject to the statutory tax rates of a C-Corporation under a conventional corporate tax structure in the U.S. at prevailing corporate tax rates. The Company does not anticipate that the Class A, E, I and K LP Units will result in a dilutive computation in future periods.

(b)The Company previously had outstanding Class I-P units of Evercore LP ("Class I-P Units") which were contingently exchangeable into Class I LP Units, and ultimately Class A Shares, and has outstanding Class K-P units of Evercore LP ("Class K-P Units") which are contingently exchangeable into Class K LP Units, and ultimately Class A Shares, as they are subject to certain performance thresholds being achieved. On March 1, 2022, all of the Class I-P Units converted to Class I LP Units. See Note 14 for further information. For the purposes of calculating diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders, the Company's Class I-P Units and Class K-P Units are included in diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding as of the beginning of the period in which all necessary performance conditions have been satisfied. If all necessary performance conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of shares that are included in diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding is based on the number of shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the performance period. The units that were assumed to be converted to an equal number of Class A Shares for purposes of computing diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders were 128 and 257 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and 480 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

The shares of Class B common stock have no right to receive dividends or a distribution on liquidation or winding up of the Company. The shares of Class B common stock do not share in the earnings of the Company and no earnings are allocable to such class. Accordingly, basic and diluted net income per share of Class B common stock have not been presented.

Note 14 – Share-Based and Other Deferred Compensation

LP Units

Class I-P Units – In November 2016, the Company awarded 400 Class I-P Units in conjunction with the appointment of the Chief Executive Officer (then Executive Chairman). These Class I-P Units converted into 400 Class I LP Units (which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis to Class A Shares), upon the achievement of certain market and service conditions on March 1, 2022. Compensation expense related to this award was $753 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $1,130 and $2,366 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Class K-P Units – In November 2017, the Company awarded 64 Class K-P Units to an employee of the Company. These Class K-P Units converted into 80 Class K LP Units (which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis to Class A Shares), upon the achievement of certain defined benchmark results relating to the employee's business and continued service through December 31, 2021.

In June 2019, the Company awarded 220 Class K-P Units to an employee of the Company. These Class K-P Units convert into a number of Class K LP Units (which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis to Class A Shares), contingent and based upon the achievement of certain defined benchmark results relating to the employee's business and continued service through February 4, 2023 for the first tranche, which consists of 120 Class K-P Units, and February 4, 2028 for the second tranche, which consists of 100 Class K-P Units.

In December 2021, the Company awarded 400 Class K-P Units to certain employees of the Company. These Class K-P Units convert into a number of Class K LP Units (which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis to Class A Shares), contingent and based upon the achievement of certain market conditions, defined benchmark results and continued service through December 31, 2025. As this award contains market, performance and service conditions, the expense for this award will reflect the fair value of the underlying units as determined at the award's grant date, taking into account the probable outcome of the market condition being achieved, as well as the probable outcome of the performance and service conditions.

These Class K-P Units in the aggregate may convert into a maximum of 1,180 Class K LP Units, contingent upon the achievement of certain defined benchmarks and continued service, as described above. The Company determined the grant date fair value of these awards probable to vest as of June 30, 2022 to be $100,877, related to 946 Class K LP Units which were probable of achievement, and recognizes expense for these units over the respective service periods. Aggregate compensation expense related to the Class K-P Units was $6,308 and $11,776 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $1,881 and $3,741 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Class L Interests – In April 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved the issuance of Class L Interests in Evercore LP ("Class L Interests") to certain of the named executive officers of the Company, pursuant to which the named executive officers received a discretionary distribution of profits from Evercore LP, which was paid in the first quarter of 2022. Distributions pursuant to these interests were made in lieu of any cash incentive compensation payments which may otherwise have been made to the named executive officers of the Company in respect of their service for 2021. Following the distribution, these Class L Interests were cancelled pursuant to their terms.

In January 2022, the Company issued Class L Interests to certain of the named executive officers of the Company, pursuant to which the named executive officers may receive a discretionary distribution of profits from Evercore LP, to be paid in the first quarter of 2023. The Company records expense related to these interests as part of its accrual for incentive compensation within Employee Compensation and Benefits on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Stock Incentive Plan

During 2020, the Company's stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2016 Evercore Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "Amended 2016 Plan"). During the second quarter of 2022, the Company's stockholders approved the Second Amended and Restated 2016 Evercore Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "Second Amended 2016 Plan"), which amended the Amended 2016 Plan. The Second Amended 2016 Plan, among other things, authorizes an additional 6,500 shares of the Company's Class A Shares. The Second Amended 2016 Plan permits the Company to grant to certain employees, directors and consultants incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs and other awards based on the Company's Class A Shares. The Company intends to use newly-issued Class A Shares to satisfy any awards under the Second Amended 2016 Plan and its predecessor plan. Class A Shares underlying any award granted under the Second Amended 2016 Plan that expire, terminate or are canceled or satisfied for any reason without being settled in stock again become available for awards under the plan. The total shares available to be granted in the future under the Second Amended 2016 Plan was 7,752 as of June 30, 2022.

The Company also grants, at its discretion, dividend equivalents, in the form of unvested RSU awards, or deferred cash dividends, concurrently with the payment of dividends to the holders of Class A Shares, on all unvested RSU grants. The dividend equivalents have the same vesting and delivery terms as the underlying RSU award.

The Company estimates forfeitures in the aggregate compensation cost to be amortized over the requisite service period of its awards. The Company periodically monitors its estimated forfeiture rate and adjusts its assumptions to the actual occurrence of forfeited awards. A change in estimated forfeitures is recognized through a cumulative adjustment in the period of the change.

Equity Grants

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, pursuant to the above Stock Incentive Plans, the Company granted employees 2,886 RSUs that are Service-based Awards. Service-based Awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022 had grant date fair values of $93.03 to $137.59 per share, with an average value of $124.56 per share, for an aggregate fair value of $359,481, and generally vest ratably over four years. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 2,194 Service-based Awards vested and 66 Service-based Awards were forfeited. Compensation expense related to Service-based Awards was $67,597 and $127,844 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $58,054 and $109,762 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Deferred Cash

Deferred Cash Compensation Program – The Company's deferred cash compensation program provides participants the ability to elect to receive a portion of their deferred compensation in cash, which is indexed to notional investment portfolios selected by the participant and generally vests ratably over four years and requires payment upon vesting. The Company granted $123,729 of deferred cash awards pursuant to the deferred cash compensation program during the first quarter of 2022.

Compensation expense related to the Company's deferred cash compensation program was $28,448 and $58,985 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $34,858 and $65,747 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, the Company expects to pay an aggregate of $302,255 related to the Company's deferred cash compensation program at various dates through 2026 and total compensation expense not yet recognized related to these awards was $204,704. The weighted-average period over which this compensation cost is expected to be recognized is 26 months. Amounts due pursuant to this program are expensed over the service period of the award and are reflected in Accrued Compensation and Benefits on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2022.

Other Deferred Cash Awards – In November 2016, the Company granted a restricted cash award in conjunction with the appointment of the Chief Executive Officer (then Executive Chairman) with a target payment amount of $35,000, of which $11,000 vested on March 1, 2019, $6,000 vested on each of March 1, 2020, 2021 and 2022, and $6,000 is scheduled to vest on March 1, 2023, provided that the Chief Executive Officer continues to remain employed through such vesting date, subject to

The Company had the discretion to increase (by an amount up to $35,000) or decrease (by an amount up to $8,750) the total amount payable under this award.

In 2017, the Company granted deferred cash awards of $29,500 to certain employees. These awards vested in five equal installments over the period ending June 30, 2022, subject to continued employment. The Company recognized expense for these awards ratably over the vesting period.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company granted $19,861 of deferred cash awards to certain employees. These awards vest ratably over one to two years.

In addition, the Company periodically grants other deferred cash awards to certain employees. The Company recognizes expense for these awards ratably over the vesting period.

Long-term Incentive Plan

The Company's Long-term Incentive Plan provides for incentive compensation awards to Advisory Senior Managing Directors, excluding executive officers of the Company, who exceed defined benchmark results over four-year performance periods beginning January 1, 2017 (the "2017 Long-term Incentive Plan") and January 1, 2021 (the "2021 Long-term Incentive Plan", which was approved by the Company's Board of Directors in April 2021 and modified in July 2021). Remaining amounts due pursuant to the 2017 and 2021 Long-term Incentive Plans, which aggregate $48,333 of current liabilities and $56,736 of long-term liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2022, are due to be paid, in cash or Class A Shares, at the Company's discretion, in the first quarter of 2023 (for the 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan), and in the first quarter of 2025, 2026 and 2027 (for the 2021 Long-term Incentive Plan), subject to employment at the time of payment. The performance period for the 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan ended on December 31, 2020. In conjunction with this plan, the Company distributed cash payments of $3,940 in the six months ended June 30, 2022, and $92,938 in the year ended December 31, 2021 (including the first cash distribution made in March 2021 pursuant to the 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan of $48,461, and an additional cash distribution made in December 2021 of $44,477, related to the acceleration of certain amounts due in the first quarter of 2022). Awards issued under the 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan are subject to retirement eligibility requirements after the performance criteria has been achieved. The Company periodically assesses the probability of the benchmarks being achieved and expenses the probable payout over the requisite service period of the award. The Company recorded $13,977 and $29,262 of compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $8,209 and $13,102 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

As of June 30, 2022, the total remaining expense to be recognized for the 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan over the future vesting period ending March 15, 2023 is $4,736. As of June 30, 2022, the total remaining expense to be recognized for the 2021 Long-term Incentive Plan over the future vesting period ending March 15, 2027, based on the current anticipated probable payout for the plan, is $189,890.

Employee Loans Receivable

Periodically, the Company provides new and existing employees with cash payments in the form of loans and/or other cash awards which are subject to ratable vesting terms with service requirements ranging from one to five years and in certain circumstances, subject to the achievement of performance requirements. Generally, these awards, based on the terms, include a requirement of either full or partial repayment by the employee if the service or other requirements of the agreements with the Company are not achieved. In circumstances where the employee meets the Company's minimum credit standards, the Company amortizes these awards to compensation expense over the relevant service period, which is generally the period they are subject to forfeiture. Compensation expense related to these awards was $7,987 and $13,439 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $6,296 and $10,446 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Lines of Credit – On June 24, 2016, Evercore Partners Services East L.L.C. ("East") entered into a loan agreement with PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC") for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30,000, to be used for working capital and other corporate activities. This facility is secured by East's accounts receivable and the proceeds therefrom, as well as certain assets of EGL, including certain of EGL's accounts receivable. In addition, the agreement contains certain reporting covenants, as well as certain debt covenants that prohibit East and the Company from incurring other indebtedness, subject to specified exceptions. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries were in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2022. East amended this facility on October 29, 2021 such that, among other things, the interest rate provisions were LIBOR (or an applicable benchmark replacement) plus 150 basis points and the maturity date was extended to October 28, 2023 (as amended, the "Existing PNC Facility"). There were no drawings under this facility at June 30, 2022.

On July 26, 2019, East entered into an additional loan agreement with PNC for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount, as amended on October 30, 2020, of up to $30,000, to be used for working capital and other corporate activities. This facility is unsecured. In addition, the agreement contains certain reporting requirements and debt covenants consistent with the Existing PNC Facility. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries were in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2022. East amended this facility on October 29, 2021 such that, among other things, the revolving credit facility has increased to an aggregate principal amount of $55,000. Drawings under this facility bear interest at LIBOR (or an applicable benchmark replacement) plus 180 basis points and the maturity date was extended to October 28, 2023. East is only permitted to borrow under this facility if there is no undrawn availability under the Existing PNC Facility and must repay indebtedness under this facility prior to repaying indebtedness under the Existing PNC Facility. There were no drawings under this facility at June 30, 2022.

On October 29, 2021, EGL entered into a subordinated revolving credit facility with PNC in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75,000, to be used as needed in support of capital requirements from time to time of EGL. This facility is unsecured and is guaranteed by Evercore LP and other affiliates, pursuant to a guaranty agreement, which provides for certain reporting requirements and debt covenants consistent with the Existing PNC Facility. Drawings under this facility will bear interest at LIBOR (or an applicable benchmark replacement) plus 180 basis points and the maturity date will be October 28, 2023, unless prepayment is otherwise approved earlier by FINRA. There were no drawings under this facility at June 30, 2022.

In addition, EGL's clearing broker provides temporary funding for the settlement of securities transactions.

The Company enters into commitments to pay contingent consideration related to certain of its acquisitions. The Company paid $270 of its commitment for contingent consideration related to its acquisition of Kuna & Co, KG during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The contingent consideration was fully paid as of June 30, 2021.

Restricted Cash – The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the statements of financial condition that sum to the total of amounts shown in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:


	June 30,
	2022		2021
Cash and Cash Equivalents	$	444,306	$	442,187
Restricted Cash included in Other Assets	9,088		8,804
Total Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash shown in the Statement of Cash Flows	$	453,394	$	450,991

Restricted Cash included in Other Assets on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition primarily represents letters of credit which are secured by cash as collateral for the lease of office space and security deposits for certain equipment. The restrictions will lapse when the leases end.

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company and its affiliates are involved in judicial or regulatory proceedings, arbitration or mediation concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses, including contractual and employment matters. In addition, United Kingdom, German, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canadian, Dubai and United States government agencies and self-regulatory organizations, as well as state securities commissions in the United States, conduct periodic examinations and initiate administrative proceedings regarding the Company's business, including, among other matters, accounting and operational matters, that can result in censure, fine, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders or the suspension or expulsion of a broker-dealer, investment advisor, or its directors, officers or employees. In view of the inherent difficulty of determining whether any loss in connection with such matters is probable and whether the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the early stages, the Company cannot estimate the amount of such loss or range of loss, if any, related to such matters, how or if such matters will be resolved, when they will ultimately be resolved, or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, might be. Subject to the foregoing, the Company believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that it is not currently party to any material pending proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, the resolution of which would have a material effect on the Company. Provisions for losses are established in accordance with ASC 450, "Contingencies" ("ASC 450") when warranted. Once established, such provisions are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change.

Note 16 – Regulatory Authorities

EGL is a U.S. registered broker-dealer and is subject to the net capital requirements of Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Under the Alternative Net Capital Requirement, EGL's minimum net capital requirement is $250. EGL's regulatory net capital as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $365,745 and $660,032, respectively, which exceeded the minimum net capital requirement by $365,495 and $659,782, respectively.

Certain other non-U.S. subsidiaries are subject to various securities and banking regulations and capital adequacy requirements promulgated by the regulatory and exchange authorities of the countries in which they operate. These subsidiaries are in excess of their local capital adequacy requirements at June 30, 2022.

Evercore Trust Company, N.A. ("ETC"), which is limited to fiduciary activities, is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") and is a member bank of the Federal Reserve System. The Company, Evercore LP and ETC are subject to written agreements with the OCC that, among other things, require the Company and Evercore LP to

(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

maintain at least $5,000 in Tier 1 capital in ETC (or such other amount as the OCC may require) and maintain liquid assets in ETC in an amount at least equal to the greater of $3,500 or 180 days coverage of ETC's operating expenses. The Company was in compliance with the aforementioned agreements as of June 30, 2022.

Note 17 – Income Taxes

The Company's Provision for Income Taxes was $38,562 and $73,344 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $46,478 and $78,159 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate was 26.0% and 20.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and 22.1% and 19.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate reflects net excess tax benefits associated with the appreciation in the Company's share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price of $19,782 and $17,018 being recognized in the Company's Provision for Income Taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and resulted in a reduction in the effective tax rate of 5.5 and 4.2 percentage points for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate for 2022 and 2021 also reflects the effect of certain nondeductible expenses, including expenses related to Class I-P and K-P Units, as well as the noncontrolling interest associated with LP Units and other adjustments.

Additionally, the Company is subject to the income tax effects associated with the global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") provisions in the period incurred. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, no additional income tax expense associated with the GILTI provisions has been recognized and it is not expected to be material to the Company's effective tax rate for the year.

The Company recorded a decrease in deferred tax assets of $100 associated with changes in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Securities and Investments and an increase of $7,033 associated with changes in Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Gain (Loss), in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company recorded a decrease in deferred tax assets of $153 associated with changes in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Securities and Investments and a decrease of $763 associated with changes in Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Gain (Loss), in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The Company classifies interest relating to tax matters and tax penalties as a component of income tax expense in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2022, there were $254 of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, $206 would affect the effective tax rate. Related to the unrecognized tax benefits, the Company accrued interest and penalties of $8 and $1, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Item 2.			Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Evercore Inc.'s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains, or incorporates by reference, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our operations and financial performance. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as "outlook," "backlog," "believes," "expects," "potential," "probable," "continues," "may," "will," "should," "seeks," "approximately," "predicts," "intends," "plans," "estimates," "anticipates" or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this report are forward-looking statements and are based on various underlying assumptions and expectations and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business.

Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements and, based on various underlying assumptions and expectations, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions and may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in Evercore's business. We believe these factors include, but are not limited to, those described under "Risk Factors" discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included or incorporated by reference in this report. In addition, new risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise except as required by law.

We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can management assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Key Financial Measures

Revenue

Total revenues reflect revenues from our Investment Banking and Investment Management business segments that include fees for services, transaction-related client reimbursements and other revenue. Net revenues reflect total revenues less interest expense.

Investment Banking. Our Investment Banking business earns fees from its clients for providing advice on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, capital raising, leveraged buyouts, restructurings, activism and defense and similar corporate finance matters, and from underwriting and private placement activities, as well as commissions, fees and principal revenues from research and its sales and trading activities. The amount and timing of the fees paid vary by the type of engagement or services provided. In general, advisory fees are paid at the time we sign an engagement letter, during the course of the engagement or when an engagement is completed. The majority of our investment banking revenue consists of advisory fees for which realizations are dependent on the successful completion of transactions. A transaction can fail to be completed for many reasons which are outside of our control, including failure of parties to agree upon final terms with the counterparty, to secure necessary board or shareholder approvals, to secure necessary financing or to achieve necessary regulatory approvals, or due to adverse market conditions. In the case of bankruptcy engagements, fees are subject to court approval. Underwriting fees are recognized when the offering has been deemed to be completed and placement fees are generally recognized at the time of the client's acceptance of capital or capital commitments. Commissions and Related Revenue includes commissions, which are recorded on a trade-date basis or, in the case of payments under commission sharing arrangements, on the date earned. Commissions and

Table of Contents

Related Revenue also includes subscription fees for the sales of research, as well as revenues from principal transactions primarily executed on a riskless principal basis. Cash received before the subscription period ends is initially recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability) and recognized as revenue over the remaining subscription period.

Revenue trends in our advisory business generally are correlated to the volume of merger and acquisition ("M&A") activity, restructuring activity, which tends to be counter-cyclical to M&A, and capital advisory activity. Demand for these capabilities can vary in any given year or quarter for a number of reasons. For example, changes in our market share or the ability of our clients to close certain large transactions can cause our revenue results to diverge from the level of overall M&A, restructuring or capital advisory activity. Revenue trends in our equities business are correlated to market volumes, which generally decrease in periods of low market volatility or unfavorable market or economic conditions. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for further information.

Investment Management. Our Investment Management business includes operations related to the Wealth Management business and interests in private equity funds which we do not manage. Revenue sources primarily include management fees, fiduciary fees and gains (or losses) on our investments.

Management fees for third party clients generally represent a percentage of assets under management ("AUM"). Fiduciary fees, which are generally a function of the size and complexity of each engagement, are individually negotiated. Gains and losses include both realized and unrealized gains and losses on principal investments, including those arising from our equity interest in investment partnerships.

Transaction-Related Client Reimbursements. In our Investment Banking segment, we incur various transaction-related expenditures, such as travel and professional fees, in the course of performing our services. Pursuant to the engagement letters with our advisory clients, these expenditures may be reimbursable. We define these expenses, which are associated with revenue activities earned over time, as transaction-related expenses and record such expenditures as incurred and record revenue when it is determined that clients have an obligation to reimburse us for such transaction-related expenses. Client expense reimbursements are recorded as revenue on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on the later of the date an engagement letter is executed or the date we pay or accrue the expense.

Other Revenue and Interest Expense. Other Revenue includes the following:

•Interest income and income (losses) on investment securities, including our investment funds which are used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program, certificates of deposit, cash and cash equivalents, long-term accounts receivable and on our debt security investment in G5 (through June 25, 2021, the date G5 repaid its outstanding debentures in full. See Note 7 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.)

•A gain on the sale of a portion of our interests in ABS in the first quarter of 2022. See Note 7 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information

•Gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency fluctuations

•Realized and unrealized gains and losses on interests in private equity funds which we do not manage

•Adjustments to amounts due pursuant to our tax receivable agreement, subsequent to its initial establishment, related to changes in enacted tax rates

Interest Expense includes interest expense associated with our Notes Payable and lines of credit.

Operating Expenses

Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense. We include all payments for services rendered by our employees, as well as profits interests in our businesses that have been accounted for as compensation, in employee compensation and benefits expense.

We maintain compensation programs, including base salary, cash, deferred cash and equity bonus awards and benefits programs and manage compensation to estimates of competitive levels based on market conditions and performance. Our level of compensation, including deferred compensation, reflects our plan to maintain competitive compensation levels to retain key personnel, and it reflects the impact of newly-hired senior professionals, including related grants of equity awards which are

Table of Contents

generally valued at their grant date and recorded in employee compensation and benefits expense over the requisite service period.

Increasing the number of high-caliber, experienced senior level employees is critical to our growth efforts. In our advisory businesses, these hires generally do not begin to generate significant revenue in the year they are hired.

Our annual compensation program includes share-based compensation awards and deferred cash awards as a component of the annual bonus awards for certain employees. These awards, the amount of which is a function of performance and market conditions, are generally subject to annual vesting requirements over a four-year period beginning at the date of grant, which occurs in the first quarter of each year; accordingly, the expense is generally amortized over the stated vesting period, subject to retirement eligibility. With respect to annual awards, our retirement eligibility criteria generally stipulates that if an employee has at least five years of continuous service, is at least 55 years of age and has a combined age and years of service of at least 65 years, the employee is eligible for retirement. Beginning in 2019, we implemented additional retirement eligibility qualifying criteria, for awards issued in 2019 and after, that stipulates if an employee has at least 10 years of continuous service and is at least 60 years of age, the employee is also eligible for retirement. Retirement eligibility allows for continued vesting of awards after employees depart from the Company, provided they give the minimum advance notice, which is generally six months to one year.

We estimate forfeitures in the aggregate compensation cost to be amortized over the requisite service period of the awards. We periodically monitor our estimated forfeiture rate and adjust our assumptions to the actual occurrence of forfeited awards. A change in estimated forfeitures is recognized through a cumulative adjustment in the period of the change.

In April 2021, our Board of Directors approved the issuance of Class L Interests in Evercore LP to certain of our named executive officers, pursuant to which the named executive officers received a discretionary distribution of profits from Evercore LP, which was paid in the first quarter of 2022. Distributions pursuant to these interests were made in lieu of any cash incentive compensation payments which may otherwise have been made to our named executive officers in respect of their service for 2021. Following the distribution, these Class L Interests were cancelled pursuant to their terms. In January 2022, we issued Class L Interests to certain of our named executive officers, pursuant to which the named executive officers may receive a discretionary distribution of profits from Evercore LP, to be paid in the first quarter of 2023. We record expense related to these distributions in Employee Compensation and Benefits on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and reflect accrued liabilities in Accrued Compensation and Benefits on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Our Long-term Incentive Plan provides for incentive compensation awards to Advisory Senior Managing Directors, excluding executive officers, who exceed defined benchmark results over four-year performance periods beginning January 1, 2017 and January 1, 2021. We made cash distributions under the 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan in March 2022 and 2021, respectively, as well as in December 2021, related to the acceleration of certain amounts due in the first quarter of 2022. Remaining amounts are due to be paid, in cash or Class A Shares, at our discretion, in the first quarter of 2023 (for the 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan) and in the first quarter of 2025, 2026 and 2027 (for the 2021 Long-term Incentive Plan), subject to employment at the time of payment. Awards issued under the 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan are subject to retirement eligibility requirements after the performance criteria has been achieved. We periodically assess the probability of the benchmarks being achieved and expense the probable payout over the requisite service period of the award. The performance period for the 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan ended on December 31, 2020.

From time to time, we also grant performance awards to certain individuals which include both performance and service-based vesting requirements and, in certain awards, market based requirements. These include Class I-P and K-P Units issued by Evercore LP. In December 2021, we issued Class K-P Units to certain of our employees. In March 2022, the Class I-P Units converted to Class I LP Units. See Note 14 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

We believe that the ratio of Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense to Net Revenues is an important measure to assess the annual cost of compensation and provides a meaningful basis for comparison of compensation and benefits expense between present, historical and future years.

Non-Compensation Expenses. Our other operating expenses include costs for occupancy and equipment rental, professional fees, travel and related expenses, communications and information technology services, depreciation and amortization, execution, clearing and custody fees and other operating expenses. We refer to all of these expenses as non-compensation expenses.

Table of Contents

Other Expenses

Other Expenses include the following:

•Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs – Includes expenses in 2022 related to charges associated with the prepayment of our Series B Notes during the second quarter, as well as certain professional fees related to the ongoing liquidation of our operations in Mexico.

Income from Equity Method Investments

Our share of the income (loss) from our equity interests in ABS, Atalanta Sosnoff, Luminis and Seneca Evercore (from July 7, 2021 for Seneca Evercore) are included within Income from Equity Method Investments, as a component of Income Before Income Taxes, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 7 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Provision for Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes", which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of our assets and liabilities. Excess tax benefits and deficiencies associated with the appreciation or depreciation in our share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above or below the original grant price are recognized in our Provision for Income Taxes. In addition, net deferred tax assets are impacted by changes to statutory tax rates in the period of enactment.

Noncontrolling Interest

We record noncontrolling interest relating to the ownership interests of certain of our current and former Senior Managing Directors and other officers and their estate planning vehicles in Evercore LP, as well as the portions of our operating subsidiaries not owned by Evercore. Evercore Inc. is the sole general partner of Evercore LP and has a majority economic interest in Evercore LP. As a result, Evercore Inc. consolidates Evercore LP and records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in Evercore LP held by the limited partners.

We generally allocate net income or loss to participating noncontrolling interests held at Evercore LP and at the operating entity level, where required, by multiplying the relative ownership interest of the noncontrolling interest holders for the period by the net income or loss of the entity to which the noncontrolling interest relates. In circumstances where the governing documents of the entity to which the noncontrolling interest relates require special allocations of profits or losses to the controlling and noncontrolling interest holders, the net income or loss of these entities is allocated based on these special allocations. See Note 12 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus June 30, 2021

Net Income Attributable to Evercore Inc. was $95.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $44.7 million, or 32%, compared to $140.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The changes in our operating results during these periods are described below.

Net Revenues were $630.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $56.9 million, or 8%, versus Net Revenues of $687.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Asset Management and Administration Fees decreased $0.2 million, or 1%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. See "Business Segments" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for further information.

Table of Contents

Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, decreased $39.4 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily reflecting a shift from gains of $9.8 million to losses of $26.4 million on our investment funds portfolio due to the overall market decline. The portfolio is used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program. The decrease was also driven by a $4.4 million gain on the redemption of the G5 debt security in the second quarter of 2021. See Note 7 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Total Operating Expenses were $484.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $480.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $3.4 million, or 1%. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense, as a component of Operating Expenses, was $389.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $18.8 million, or 5%, versus expense of $407.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in the amount of compensation recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2022 principally reflects a lower accrual for incentive compensation, partially offset by higher base salaries, costs associated with investments in new hires and an increase in the amortization of prior period deferred compensation awards. Non-compensation expenses as a component of Operating Expenses were $95.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $22.1 million, or 30%, versus $73.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in travel and related expenses, as travel began to resume during the fourth quarter of 2021, higher professional fees, including fee sharing agreements with sub advisors, as well as an increase in bad debt expense compared to a reversal of bad debt expense in the prior year period. Non-Compensation expenses per employee were approximately $46.2 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022, versus $39.4 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Total Other Expenses of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 included Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, related to charges associated with the prepayment of our Series B Notes during the second quarter, as well as certain professional fees related to the ongoing liquidation of our operations in Mexico.

As a result of the factors noted above, Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense as a percentage of Net Revenues was 61.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 59.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This ratio was also impacted by the lower performance of our investment funds portfolio during the second quarter.

Income from Equity Method Investments was $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was driven by lower income earned by ABS, principally reflecting a decrease in our ownership following the sale of a portion of our interests during the first quarter of 2022. See Note 7 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $38.6 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 26.0%. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $46.5 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 22.1%. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 reflects the net impact associated with the appreciation in our share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price of $0.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The provision for income taxes also reflects the effect of certain nondeductible expenses, including expenses related to Class I-P and K-P Units, as well as the noncontrolling interest associated with LP Units and other adjustments.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest was $14.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $23.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest primarily reflects lower income allocated to Evercore LP during the three months ended June 30, 2022, partially due to the decrease in noncontrolling ownership interest during the first quarter of 2022. See Note 12 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 versus June 30, 2021

Net Income Attributable to Evercore Inc. was $253.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $31.1 million, or 11%, compared to $284.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The changes in our operating results during these periods are described below.

Net Revenues were $1.354 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $3.6 million versus Net Revenues of $1.350 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Advisory Fees increased $128.1 million, or 12%, Underwriting Fees decreased $77.5 million, or 61%, and Commissions and Related Revenue decreased $0.9 million, or 1%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. Asset Management and Administration Fees increased $2.0 million, or 6%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. See "Business Segments" below for further information.

Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, decreased $48.4 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily reflecting a shift from gains of $16.0 million to losses of $31.5 million on our investment funds portfolio due to the overall market decline. The decrease was also driven by a $4.4 million gain on the redemption of the G5 debt security in the second quarter of 2021. This was partially offset by a $1.3 million gain on the sale of a portion of our interests in ABS during the first quarter of 2022. See Note 7 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Total Operating Expenses were $997.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $948.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $48.7 million, or 5%. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense, as a component of Operating Expenses, was $818.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $15.5 million, or 2%, versus expense of $803.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the amount of compensation recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2022 principally reflects higher base salaries and costs associated with investments in new hires, as well as an increase in the amortization of prior period deferred compensation awards, partially offset by a lower accrual for incentive compensation. Non-compensation expenses as a component of Operating Expenses were $179.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $33.3 million, or 23%, versus $145.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in travel and related expenses, as travel began to resume during the fourth quarter of 2021, higher professional fees, including fee sharing agreements with sub advisors, as well as an increase in bad debt expense compared to a reversal of bad debt expense in the prior year period. Non-Compensation expenses per employee were approximately $88.2 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022, versus $79.3 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Total Other Expenses of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 included Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, related to charges associated with the prepayment of our Series B Notes during the second quarter, as well as certain professional fees related to the ongoing liquidation of our operations in Mexico.

As a result of the factors noted above, Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense as a percentage of Net Revenues was 60.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 59.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This ratio was also impacted by the lower performance of our investment funds portfolio during the current year period.

Income from Equity Method Investments was $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was driven by lower income earned by ABS, principally reflecting a decrease in our ownership following the sale of a portion of our interests during the first quarter of 2022. See Note 7 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $73.3 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 20.4%. The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $78.2 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 19.2%. The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 reflects the net impact associated with the appreciation in our share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price of $19.8 million and $17.0 million, respectively. The provision for income taxes also reflects the effect of certain nondeductible expenses, including expenses related to Class I-P and K-P Units, as well as the noncontrolling interest associated with LP Units and other adjustments.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest was $33.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $44.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest reflects lower income allocated to Evercore LP during the six months ended June 30, 2022, partially due to the decrease in noncontrolling ownership interest during the first quarter of 2022. See Note 12 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Investment Management Results of Operations

Our Investment Management segment includes the following:

•Wealth Management – conducted through EWM and ETC. Fee-based revenues from EWM are primarily earned on a percentage of AUM, while ETC primarily earns fees from negotiated trust services.

•Private Equity – conducted through our investment interests in private equity funds. We maintain a limited partner's interest in Glisco II, Glisco III and Glisco IV, as well as Glisco Manager Holdings LP and the general partners of the Glisco Funds. We receive our portion of the management fees earned by Glisco Partners Inc. ("Glisco") from Glisco Manager Holdings LP. We are passive investors and do not participate in the management of any Glisco sponsored funds. We are also passive investors in Trilantic IV, Trilantic V and Trilantic VI (through January 1, 2022). In the event the private equity funds perform below certain thresholds, we may be obligated to repay certain carried interest previously distributed. As of June 30, 2022, $0.7 million of previously distributed carried interest received from the funds was subject to repayment.

•We also hold interests in ABS and Atalanta Sosnoff that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The results of these investments are included within Income from Equity Method Investments. During the first quarter of 2022, we sold a portion of our interests in ABS. See Note 7 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Assets Under Management

AUM for our Wealth Management business of $10.5 billion at June 30, 2022 decreased $1.7 billion, or 14%, compared to $12.2 billion at December 31, 2021. The amounts of AUM presented in the table below reflect the fair value of assets which we manage on behalf of Wealth Management clients. As defined in ASC 820, valuations performed for Level 1 investments are based on quoted prices obtained from active markets generated by third parties and Level 2 investments are valued through the use of models based on either direct or indirect observable inputs in the use of models or other valuation methodologies performed by third parties to determine fair value. For both the Level 1 and Level 2 investments, we obtain both active quotes from nationally recognized exchanges and third-party pricing services to determine market or fair value quotes, respectively. For Level 3 investments, pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Wealth Management maintained 72% and 75% of Level 1 investments, 23% and 21% of Level 2 investments and 5% and 4% of Level 3 investments as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The fees that we receive for providing investment advisory and management services are primarily driven by the level and composition of AUM. Accordingly, client flows, market movements, and changes in our product mix will impact the level of management fees we receive from our Wealth Management business. Fees vary with the type of assets managed and the channel in which they are managed, with higher fees earned on equity assets and alternative investment funds, such as hedge funds and private equity funds, and lower fees earned on fixed income and cash management products. Clients will increase or reduce the aggregate amount of AUM that we manage for a number of reasons, including changes in the level of assets that they have available for investment purposes, their overall asset allocation strategy, our relative performance versus competitors offering similar investment products and the quality of our service. The fees we earn are also impacted by our investment performance, as the appreciation or depreciation in the value of the assets that we manage directly impacts our fees.

The following table summarizes AUM activity for the six months ended June 30, 2022:

Our Wealth Management business serves individuals, families and related institutions delivering customized investment management, financial planning, and trust and custody services. Investment portfolios are tailored to meet the investment objectives of individual clients and reflect a blend of equity, fixed income and other products. Fees charged to clients reflect the composition of the assets managed and the services provided. Investment performance in the Wealth Management business is measured against appropriate indices based on the composition of AUM, most frequently the S&P 500 and a composite fixed income index principally reflecting BarCap and MSCI indices.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, AUM for Wealth Management decreased 14%, primarily reflecting a decrease due to market depreciation. Performance for the six months ended June 30, 2022 reflected:

•Wealth Management lagged the S&P 500 on a 1-year basis by approximately 3% and outperformed the S&P 500 on a 3-year basis by approximately 2%

•Wealth Management outperformed the fixed income composite on a 1-year basis by approximately 40 basis points and was flat against the fixed income composite on a 3-year basis

•The S&P 500 and fixed income composite were down approximately 20% and 6%, respectively

AUM from our unconsolidated affiliates decreased 15% compared to December 31, 2021, reflecting declines in both Atalanta Sosnoff and ABS.

See Note 7 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in earnings from our investment in Atalanta Sosnoff.

Cash Flows

Our operating cash flows are primarily influenced by the timing and receipt of investment banking and investment management fees and the payment of operating expenses, including incentive compensation to our employees, interest expense on our Notes Payable and lines of credit and the payment of income taxes. Investment Banking advisory fees are generally collected within 90 days of billing. However, placement fees may be collected within 180 days of billing, with fees related to private funds capital raising and certain fees related to the private capital businesses being collected in a period exceeding one year. Commissions earned from our agency trading activities are generally received from our clearing broker within 11 days. Fees from our Wealth Management business are generally billed and collected within 90 days. We traditionally pay a substantial portion of incentive compensation during the first three months of each calendar year with respect to the prior year's results and prior years' deferred compensation. Likewise, payments to fund investments related to hedging our deferred cash compensation plans are generally funded in the first three months of each calendar year. Our investing and financing cash flows are primarily influenced by activities to invest our cash in highly liquid securities or bank certificates of deposit, deploy capital to fund investments and acquisitions, raise capital through the issuance of stock or debt, repurchase of outstanding Class A Shares, and/or noncontrolling interest in Evercore LP, as well as our other subsidiaries, payment of dividends and other periodic distributions to our stakeholders. We generally make dividend payments and other distributions on a quarterly basis. We periodically draw down on our lines of credit to balance the timing of our operating, investing and financing cash flow needs. A summary of our operating, investing and financing cash flows is as follows:

Operating activities resulted in a net outflow of $168.6 million, primarily related to the payment of 2021 bonus awards and deferred cash compensation, partially offset by earnings. Cash of $615.6 million was provided by investing activities, primarily related to net proceeds from sales and maturities of investment securities and proceeds received for the sale of a portion of our interests in ABS, partially offset by net purchases of certificates of deposit and purchases of equipment and leasehold improvements, principally related to the expansion of our headquarters in New York. Financing activities during the period used cash of $561.8 million, primarily for purchases of treasury stock and noncontrolling interests, the payment of our Notes Payable and dividends and distributions to noncontrolling interest holders, partially offset by the issuance of the 2022 Private Placement Notes. Cash is also impacted due to the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuation when translating non-U.S. currencies to U.S. Dollars.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash were $451.0 million at June 30, 2021, a decrease of $387.2 million versus Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash of $838.2 million at December 31, 2020.

Financing activities during the period used cash of $517.2 million, primarily for purchases of treasury stock and noncontrolling interests, the payment of our Notes Payable and dividends and distributions to noncontrolling interest holders, partially offset by the issuance of the 2021 Private Placement Notes. For further information, see Note 10 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Cash is also impacted due to the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuation when translating non-U.S. currencies to U.S. Dollars.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our current assets principally include Cash and Cash Equivalents, Investment Securities and Certificates of Deposit, Accounts Receivable and contract assets, included in Other Current Assets, relating to Investment Banking and Investment Management revenues. Our current liabilities principally include accrued expenses, accrued liabilities related to improvements in our leased facilities, accrued employee compensation and short-term borrowings. We traditionally have made payments for employee bonus awards and year-end distributions to partners in the first quarter of the year with respect to the prior year's results. In addition, payments in respect of deferred cash compensation arrangements and related investments are also made in the first quarter. From time to time, advances and/or commitments may also be granted to new employees at or near the date they begin employment, or to existing employees for the purpose of incentive or retention. Cash distributions related to

Table of Contents

partnership tax allocations are made to the partners of Evercore LP and certain other entities in accordance with our corporate estimated payment calendar; these payments are generally made quarterly. In addition, dividends on Class A Shares, and related distributions to partners of Evercore LP, are paid when and if declared by the Board of Directors, which is generally quarterly.

We regularly monitor our liquidity position, including cash, other significant working capital, current assets and liabilities, long-term liabilities, lease commitments and related fixed assets, principal investment commitments related to our Investment Management business, dividends on Class A Shares, partnership distributions and other capital transactions, as well as other matters relating to liquidity and compliance with regulatory requirements. Our liquidity is highly dependent on our revenue stream from our operations, principally from our Investment Banking business, which is a function of closing transactions and earning success fees, the timing and realization of which is irregular and dependent upon factors that are not subject to our control. Our revenue stream funds the payment of our expenses, including annual bonus payments, a portion of which are guaranteed, deferred compensation arrangements, interest expense on our Notes Payable, lines of credit and other financing arrangements as well as payments for income taxes. Payments made for income taxes may be reduced by deductions taken for the increase in tax basis of our investment in Evercore LP. Certain of these tax deductions, when realized, require payment under our long-term liability, Amounts Due Pursuant to Tax Receivable Agreements. We intend to fund these payments from cash and cash equivalents on hand, principally derived from cash flows from operations. These tax deductions, when realized, will result in cash otherwise required to satisfy tax obligations becoming available for other purposes. Our Management Committee meets regularly to monitor our liquidity and cash positions against our short and long-term obligations, as well as our capital requirements and commitments, including deferred compensation arrangements. The result of this review contributes to management's recommendation to the Board of Directors as to the level of quarterly dividend payments, if any.

As a financial services firm, our businesses are materially affected by conditions in the global financial markets and economic conditions throughout the world. Revenue generated by our advisory activities is related to the number and value of the transactions in which we are involved. In addition, revenue related to our equities business is driven by market volumes and institutional investor trends, such as the trend to passive investment strategies. During periods of unfavorable market or economic conditions, which may result from the current or anticipated impact of inflation, changes in the level of interest rates, changes in the availability of financing, supply chain disruptions, the regulatory environment, climate change, extreme weather events or natural disasters, the emergence or continuation of widespread health emergencies or pandemics, cyberattacks or campaigns, military conflict, including escalating military tension between Russia and Ukraine, terrorism or other geopolitical events, the number and value of M&A transactions, as well as market volumes in equities, generally decrease, and they generally increase during periods of favorable market or economic conditions. Restructuring activity generally is counter-cyclical to M&A activity. In addition, during periods of unfavorable market conditions our Investment Management business may be impacted by reduced equity valuations and generate relatively lower revenue because fees we receive, either directly or through our affiliates, typically are in part based on the market value of underlying publicly-traded securities. Our profitability may also be adversely affected by our fixed costs and the possibility that we would be unable to scale back other costs within a time frame and in an amount sufficient to match any decreases in revenue relating to changes in market and economic conditions. Likewise, our liquidity may be adversely impacted by our contractual obligations, including lease obligations. Reduced equity valuations resulting from future adverse economic events and/or market conditions may impact our performance and may result in future net redemptions of AUM from our clients, which would generally result in lower revenues and cash flows. These adverse conditions could also have an impact on our goodwill impairment assessment, which is done annually, as of November 30th, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.

We are currently in a period of macroeconomic uncertainty and market volatility, including historically high inflation, supply chain constraints, rising interest rates, changes in the availability of financing, geopolitical tensions, the regulatory environment and the increasing risk of a recession. These factors have led to a slowing of the pace of M&A transaction announcements and the elongation of the timing of transaction closings, as well as suppressing the level of underwriting activity. We will continue to assess the potential ongoing impacts of the current environment, including the regular monitoring of our cash levels, liquidity, regulatory capital requirements, debt covenants and our other contractual obligations. See "Results of Operations" above for further information.

We assess our equity method investments for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. These circumstances could include unfavorable market conditions or the loss of key personnel of the investee.

For a further discussion of risks related to our business, refer to Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Treasury Purchases

We periodically repurchase Class A Shares and/or LP Units into Treasury (including through the net settlement of equity awards) in order to offset the dilutive effect of equity awards granted as compensation (see Note 14 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information), or amounts in excess of that if management's review, discussed above, determines adequate cash is available. The amount of cash required for these share repurchases is a function of the mix of equity and deferred cash compensation awarded for the annual bonus awards (see further discussion on deferred compensation under Other Commitments below). In addition, we may from time to time, purchase noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries.

On April 27, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized (in addition to the net settlement of equity awards) the repurchase of Class A Shares and/or LP Units so that from that date forward, we were able to repurchase an aggregate of the lesser of $750.0 million worth of Class A Shares and/or LP Units and 8.5 million Class A Shares and/or LP Units. In addition, on February 22, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized (in addition to the net settlement of equity awards) the repurchase of Class A Shares and/or LP Units so that from that date forward, we are able to repurchase an aggregate of the lesser of $1.4 billion worth of Class A Shares and/or LP Units and 10.0 million Class A Shares and/or LP Units. Under this share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and the actual amount of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including our liquidity position, legal requirements, price, economic and market conditions and the objective to reduce the dilutive effect of equity awards granted as compensation to employees. This program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 2,588,200 Class A Shares, at an average cost per share of $117.18, for $303.3 million, pursuant to our repurchase program.

In addition, we periodically buy shares into treasury from our employees in order to allow them to satisfy their minimum tax requirements for share deliveries under our share equity plan. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 971,627 Class A Shares, at an average cost per share of $127.99, for $124.3 million, primarily related to minimum tax withholding requirements of share deliveries.

The aggregate 3,559,827 Class A Shares repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2022 were acquired for aggregate purchase consideration of $427.6 million, at an average cost per share of $120.13.

Noncontrolling Interest Purchases

During the first quarter of 2022, we purchased, at fair value, an additional 0.4% of the EWM Class A Units for $1.4 million, which was settled in cash during the three months ended June 30, 2022. This purchase resulted in a decrease to Noncontrolling Interest of $0.1 million and a decrease to Additional-Paid-In-Capital of $1.4 million on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2022.

On December 31, 2021, we purchased, at fair value, all of the outstanding Class R Interests of Private Capital Advisory L.P. from employees of the RECA business for $54.3 million. Our consideration for this transaction included the payment of $6.0 million of cash in 2021, $27.7 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2022, and contingent cash consideration which will be settled in early 2024. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the contingent consideration is $17.3 million and $20.6 million, respectively, and is included within Other Long-term Liabilities on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized a reversal of expense of $2.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively, within Other Operating Expenses on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, related to the change in fair value of the contingent consideration. The amount of contingent consideration to be paid is dependent on the RECA business achieving certain revenue performance targets. The fair value of the contingent consideration reflects the present value of the expected payment due based on the current expectation for the business meeting the revenue performance targets. In conjunction with this transaction, we will also issue two separate payments in early 2023 and 2024, contingent on continued employment, and accordingly, will be treated as compensation expense for accounting purposes in the periods earned. These payments will also be dependent on the RECA business achieving certain revenue performance targets.

Lines of Credit

On June 24, 2016, East entered into a loan agreement with PNC for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million, to be used for working capital and other corporate activities. This facility is secured by East's accounts receivable and the proceeds therefrom, as well as certain assets of EGL, including certain of EGL's accounts receivable. In addition, the agreement contains certain reporting covenants, as well as certain debt covenants that prohibit East and us from incurring other indebtedness, subject to specified exceptions.

There were no drawings under this facility at June 30, 2022.

In addition, EGL's clearing broker provides temporary funding for the settlement of securities transactions.

Other Commitments

We have long-term obligations for operating lease commitments, principally related to office space, which expire on various dates through 2035. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for anticipated current and future payments under these arrangements.

We have a long-term liability, Amounts Due Pursuant to Tax Receivable Agreements, which requires payments to certain current and former Senior Managing Directors.

Pursuant to deferred compensation and deferred consideration arrangements, we expect to make cash payments in future periods, including related to our Long-term Incentive Plans, Deferred Cash Compensation Program and other deferred compensation arrangements. Further, we make investments to hedge the economic risk of the return on deferred compensation.

For further information, including timing of payments, see Notes 6 and 14 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Certain of our subsidiaries are regulated entities and are subject to capital requirements. For further information see Note 16 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

We have a commitment for contingent consideration related to the purchase of the outstanding Class R Interests of Private Capital Advisory L.P. from employees of the RECA business in 2021. For further information see above and Notes 12 and 15 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

We had total commitments (not reflected on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition) relating to future capital contributions to private equity funds of $2.7 million and $6.1 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We expect to fund these commitments with cash flows from operations. We may be required to fund these commitments at any time through June 2028, depending on the timing and level of investments by our private equity funds. See Note 15 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

We do not invest in any off-balance sheet vehicles that provide liquidity, capital resources, market or credit risk support, or engage in any leasing activities that expose us to any liability that is not reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2022 included $444.3 million of Cash and Cash Equivalents and $1.1 billion of Investment Securities and Certificates of Deposit, which are generally comprised of highly-liquid investments. For further information regarding other cash commitments and the timing of payments, refer to "General" above.

Market Risk and Credit Risk

We, in general, are not a capital-intensive organization and as such, are not subject to significant market or credit risks. Nevertheless, we have established procedures to assess both the market and credit risk, as well as specific investment risk, exchange rate risk and credit risk related to receivables.

Market and Investment Risk

We hold equity securities and invest in exchange-traded funds principally as an economic hedge against our deferred compensation program. As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of our investments with these products, based on closing prices, was $134.4 million.

We estimate that a hypothetical 10%, 20% and 30% adverse change in the market value of the investments would have resulted in a decrease in pre-tax income of approximately $13.4 million, $26.9 million and $40.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Private Equity Funds

Through our principal investments in private equity funds and our ability to earn carried interest from these funds, we face exposure to changes in the estimated fair value of the companies in which these funds invest. Valuations and analysis regarding our investments in Trilantic and Glisco are performed by their respective professionals, and thus we are not involved in determining the fair value for the portfolio companies of such funds.

We estimate that a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the private equity funds would have resulted in a decrease in pre-tax income of approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Exchange Rate Risk

We have foreign operations, through our subsidiaries and affiliates, primarily in Europe and Asia, as well as provide services to clients in other jurisdictions, which creates foreign exchange rate risk. We have not entered into any transactions to hedge our exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations in these subsidiaries through the use of derivative instruments or otherwise. An appreciation or depreciation of any of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar would result in an adverse or beneficial impact to our financial results. A significant portion of our European, Asian and Latin American revenues and expenses have been, and will continue to be, derived from contracts denominated in foreign currencies (i.e. British Pounds sterling, Euros, Singapore dollars, among others). Historically, the value of these foreign currencies has fluctuated relative to

Table of Contents

the U.S. dollar. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the net impact of the fluctuation of foreign currencies recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income was ($21.5) million. It is generally not our intention to hedge our foreign currency exposure in these subsidiaries, and we will reevaluate this policy from time to time.

Credit Risks

We maintain cash and cash equivalents, as well as certificates of deposit, with financial institutions with high credit ratings. At times, we may maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured ("FDIC") limits or enter into sweep arrangements where banks will periodically transfer a portion of our excess cash position to a money market fund. However, we believe that we are not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions or investment vehicles in which those deposits are held.

Accounts Receivable consists primarily of advisory fees and expense reimbursements billed to our clients. Other Assets includes long-term receivables from fees related to private funds capital raising. Receivables are reported net of any allowance for credit losses. We maintain an allowance for credit losses to provide coverage for probable losses from our customer receivables and determine the adequacy of the allowance by estimating the probability of loss based on our analysis of historical credit loss experience of our client receivables, and taking into consideration current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Investment Banking and Investment Management receivables collection periods generally are within 90 days of invoice, with the exception of placement fees, which are generally collected within 180 days of invoice, and fees related to private funds capital raising and certain fees related to the private capital businesses, which are collected in a period exceeding one year. The collection period for restructuring transaction receivables may exceed 90 days. We recorded bad debt expense of approximately $1.5 million and reversed bad debt expense of approximately $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, total receivables recorded in Accounts Receivable amounted to $318.0 million and $351.7 million, respectively, net of an allowance for credit losses, and total receivables recorded in Other Assets amounted to $63.3 million and $87.8 million, respectively.

Other Current Assets and Other Assets include arrangements in which an estimate of variable consideration has been included in the transaction price and thereby recognized as revenue that precedes the contractual due date (contract assets). As of June 30, 2022, total contract assets recorded in Other Current Assets and Other Assets amounted to $65.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, total contract assets recorded in Other Current Assets and Other Assets amounted to $14.1 million and $12.9 million, respectively.

With respect to our Investment Securities portfolio, which is comprised primarily of treasury bills, exchange-traded funds and securities investments, we manage our credit risk exposure by limiting concentration risk and maintaining investment grade credit quality. As of June 30, 2022, we had Investment Securities of $987.1 million, of which 86% were treasury bills.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding future events that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and their notes, including reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

For a discussion of other recently issued accounting standards and their impact or potential impact on our consolidated financial statements, see Note 3 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.


Item 3.			Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Market Risk and Credit Risk." We do not believe we face any material interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk, equity price risk or other market risk except as disclosed in Item 2 " – Market Risk and Credit Risk" above.

Item 4.			Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

We have not made any changes during the three months ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.			Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company and its affiliates are involved in judicial or regulatory proceedings, arbitration or mediation concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses, including contractual and employment matters. In addition, United Kingdom, German, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canadian, Dubai and United States government agencies and self-regulatory organizations, as well as state securities commissions in the United States, conduct periodic examinations and initiate administrative proceedings regarding the Company's business, including, among other matters, accounting and operational matters, that can result in censure, fine, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders or the suspension or expulsion of a broker-dealer, investment advisor, or its directors, officers or employees. In view of the inherent difficulty of determining whether any loss in connection with such matters is probable and whether the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the early stages, the Company cannot estimate the amount of such loss or range of loss, if any, related to such matters, how or if such matters will be resolved, when they will ultimately be resolved, or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, might be. Subject to the foregoing, the Company believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that it is not currently party to any material pending proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, the resolution of which would have a material effect on the Company. Provisions for losses are established in accordance with ASC 450 when warranted. Once established, such provisions are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change.

(2)On April 27, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized (in addition to the net settlement of equity awards) the repurchase of Class A Shares and/or LP Units so that from that date forward, we were able to repurchase an aggregate of the lesser of $750.0 million worth of Class A Shares and/or LP Units and 8.5 million Class A Shares and/or LP Units. In addition, on February 22, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized (in addition to the net settlement of equity awards) the repurchase of Class A Shares and/or LP Units so that from that date forward, we are able to repurchase an aggregate of the lesser of $1.4 billion worth of Class A Shares and/or LP Units and 10.0 million Class A Shares and/or LP Units. Under this share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and the actual amount of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. This program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date.

$67,000,000 4.61% Series J Senior Notes due November 15, 2028

June 28, 2022

To Each of the Purchasers Listed in

Schedule B Hereto:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Evercore Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with any successor thereto that becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 10.2, the “Company”), agrees with each of the Purchasers as follows:

SECTION 1.AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES.

The Company will authorize the issue and sale of $67,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.61% Series J Senior Notes due November 15, 2028 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time pursuant to Section 17 and including any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13, the “Notes”). The Notes shall be substantially in the forms set out in Schedule 1. Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule A. References to a “Schedule” are references to a Schedule attached to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. References to a “Section” are references to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

SECTION 2.SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES; SUBSIDIARY GUARANTIES.

Section 2.1 Sale and Purchase of Notes.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to each Purchaser and each Purchaser will purchase from the Company, at the Closing provided for in Section 3, Notes in the principal amount specified opposite such Purchaser’s name in Schedule B at the purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder.

Section 2.2 Subsidiary Guarantees.

Payment by the Company of all amounts due with respect to the Notes and performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement will also be guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors and may, from time to time, be guaranteed by other direct or indirect Subsidiaries of the Company, in each case pursuant to a guaranty agreement substantially in the form of Schedule 2.2 or such other form as is in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders (each, as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Subsidiary Guaranty”).

SECTION 3.CLOSING.

The sale and purchase of the Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser shall occur at the offices of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, 101 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10178-0060, at 9:00 a.m., New York City local time, at a closing (the “Closing”) on June 28, 2022. At the Closing the Company will deliver to each Purchaser the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a single Note (or such greater number of Notes in denominations of at least $100,000 as such Purchaser may request) dated the date of the Closing and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against delivery by such Purchaser to the Company or its order of immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the account of the Company in accordance with the funding instructions provided pursuant to Section 4.10. If at the Closing the Company shall fail to tender such Notes to any Purchaser as provided above in this Section 3, or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, such Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights such Purchaser may have by reason of any of the conditions specified in Section 4 not having been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction or such failure by the Company to tender such Notes.

SECTION 4.CONDITIONS TO CLOSING.

Each Purchaser’s obligation to purchase and pay for the Notes to be sold to such Purchaser at the Closing is subject to the fulfillment to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, prior to or at the Closing, of the following conditions:

Section 4.1 Representations and Warranties.

(a)The representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement shall be correct when made and at the Closing.

(b)The representations and warranties of the Subsidiary Guarantors in their respective Subsidiary Guaranties shall be correct when made and at the Closing.

Section 4.2Performance; No Default.

(a)The Company shall have performed and complied with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement required to be performed or complied with by it prior to or at the Closing. Before and after giving effect to the issue and sale of the Notes (and the application of the proceeds thereof as contemplated by Section 5.14), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall have entered into any transaction since the date of the Presentation that would have been prohibited by Section 10 had such Section applied since such date.

(b)Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall have performed and complied with all agreements and conditions contained in its Subsidiary Guaranty required to be performed or complied with by it prior to or at the Closing.

Section 4.3Compliance Certificates.

(a)Officer’s Certificate. The Company shall have delivered to such Purchaser an Officer’s Certificate, dated the date of the Closing, certifying that the conditions specified in Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.9 have been fulfilled.

(b)Secretary’s Certificates.

(i)The Company shall have delivered to such Purchaser a certificate of its Secretary or Assistant Secretary, dated the date of the Closing, certifying as to (i) the resolutions attached thereto and other corporate proceedings relating to the authorization, execution and delivery of the Notes and this Agreement, (ii) the Company’s organizational documents as then in effect, and (iii) copies of the PNC Loan Documents.

(c)The Company and its ERISA Affiliates have not incurred withdrawal liabilities (and are not subject to contingent withdrawal liabilities) under section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA in respect of Multiemployer Plans that individually or in the aggregate are reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(e)The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of the Subsidiary Guaranties of the Subsidiary Guarantors, and the issuance and sale of the Notes hereunder will not involve any transaction that is subject to the prohibitions of section 406(a) of ERISA or in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant to section 4975(c)(1)(A)-(D) of the Code.

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any Indebtedness of the Company or such Subsidiary and no event or condition exists with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Indebtedness to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment.

(b)Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.15, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has agreed or consented to cause or permit any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien that secures Indebtedness or to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien that secures Indebtedness.

SECTION 8.PAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES.

Section 8.1Maturity. As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of each Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date thereof.

Section 8.2Optional Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount. The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount; provided that the Company may prepay all or any part of any series (rather than all or any part of all series) of Notes only so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Company will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than ten days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment unless the Company and the Required Holders agree to another time period pursuant to Section 17. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, designated by series, if applicable, to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due with respect to each series of Notes in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes of the series to be prepaid a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.

Section 8.3Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes of each series to be prepaid at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.

Section 8.4Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

Section 8.5Purchase of Notes. The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes of any series except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of such series of the Notes in accordance with this Agreement and such series of the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase any outstanding Notes of such series made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes of such series at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions; provided that the Company may only make an offer to purchase an individual series of Notes (rather than all Notes) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least ten Business Days. If the holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such series of Notes of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of such series of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least five Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

Section 8.6Make-Whole Amount.

“Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the yield(s) reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the yields Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.4 or Section 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 8.7Change of Control Prepayment.

(a)Within 10 Business Days following the date of any Change of Control, the Company shall give written notice of such Change of Control (a “Change of Control Notice”) to each holder of a Note, which shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay (the “Change of Control Offer”) the entire unpaid principal amount of Notes issued by it that are held by such holder, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (without any Make-Whole Amount) on a date specified in such Change of Control Notice, which date shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such Change of Control Notice (the “Change of Control Prepayment Date”) (if such date shall not be specified in such Change of Control Notice, the Change of Control Prepayment Date shall be the first Business Day after the 45th Business Day after the date of such Change of Control Notice). The Change of Control Notice shall (i) describe the facts and circumstances of such Change of Control in reasonable detail, (ii) refer to this Section 8.7 and the rights of the holders hereunder, (iii) contain the Change of Control Offer, (iv) state the amount of interest that would be paid on such Change of Control Prepayment Date with respect to such holder’s Notes, and (v) request that such holder notify the Company in writing by a stated date (the “Change of Control Acceptance Notification Date”), which date shall not be less than 20 days after such holder’s receipt of such Change of Control Notice, if such holder wishes its Notes to be so prepaid.

(b)To accept an offer of prepayment set forth in a Change of Control Notice, a holder of a Note shall cause a written notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company on or before the Change of Control Acceptance Notification Date. If a holder does not notify the Company on or before the Change of Control Acceptance Notification Date of such holder’s acceptance or rejection of the prepayment offer contained in the Change of Control Notice, then the holder shall be deemed to have rejected the prepayment offer.

(c)On the Change of Control Prepayment Date, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Notes held by each holder of a Note that has accepted such prepayment offer, together with any interest accrued thereon to the Change of Control Prepayment Date, shall become due and payable.

Section 8.8Disposition of Assets Prepayment.

(a)In the event the Company makes an offer of prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 10.7(g)(ii), the Company shall give written notice thereof (an “Asset Disposition Prepayment Notice”) to each holder of a Note, which notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay (the “Asset Disposition Prepayment Offer”) a stated portion

of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes issued by it that are held by such holder in an aggregate amount equal to such holder’s Pro Rata Amount of the Net Proceeds of such Disposition being applied in accordance with Section 10.7(g)(ii), together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (without any Make-Whole Amount) on a date specified in such Asset Disposition Prepayment Notice, which date shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such Asset Disposition Prepayment Notice (the “Asset Disposition Prepayment Date”) (if such date shall not be specified in such Asset Disposition Prepayment Notice, the Asset Disposition Prepayment Date shall be the first Business Day after the 45th Business Day after the date of such Asset Disposition Prepayment Notice). The Asset Disposition Prepayment Notice shall (i) describe the nature of the relevant Disposition in reasonable detail, (ii) refer to this Section 8.8 and the rights of the holders hereunder, (iii) state the amount of the Net Proceeds of such Disposition and the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness being prepaid and/or offered to be prepaid pursuant to Section 10.7(g)(ii), (iv) contain the Asset Disposition Prepayment Offer, (v) state the amount of interest that would be paid on such Asset Disposition Prepayment Date with respect to such holder’s Notes and (vi) request that such holder notify the Company in writing by a stated date (the “Asset Disposition Acceptance Notification Date”), which date shall be not less than 20 days after such holder’s receipt of such Asset Disposition Prepayment Notice, if such holder wishes its Notes to be so prepaid.

(b)To accept an offer of prepayment set forth in an Asset Disposition Prepayment Notice, a holder of a Note shall cause a written notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company on or before the Asset Disposition Acceptance Notification Date. If a holder does not notify the Company on or before the Asset Disposition Acceptance Notification Date of such holder’s acceptance or rejection of the prepayment offer contained in the Asset Disposition Prepayment Notice, then the holder shall be deemed to have rejected the prepayment offer.

(c)On the Asset Disposition Prepayment Date, the appropriate outstanding principal amount of the Notes held by each holder of Notes that has accepted such prepayment offer (equal to such holder’s Pro Rata Amount of the Net Proceeds of the relevant Disposition being applied pursuant to Section 10.7(g)(ii)), together with any interest accrued thereon to the Asset Disposition Prepayment Date, shall become due and payable.

(d)Nothing in this Section 8.8 shall be construed to limit the rights or remedies of the holders following a Default or Event of Default.

Section 8.9Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) subject to clause (y), any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (y) any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount on any Note (including principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the

Section 9.2Insurance. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated.

Section 9.3Maintenance of Properties. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section shall not prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Company has concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, but not limited to, interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and (y) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Company acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

Section 12.2Other Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note or Subsidiary Guaranty, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

Section 12.3Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 12.4No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, any Subsidiary Guaranty or any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein

or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 15, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

SECTION 13. REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES.

Section 13.1Registration of Notes. The Company shall keep at its principal executive office a register for the registration and registration of transfers of Notes.

If any holder of one or more Notes is a nominee, then (a) the name and address of the beneficial owner of such Note or Notes shall also be registered in such register as an owner and holder thereof and (b) at any such beneficial owner’s option, either such beneficial owner or its nominee may execute any amendment, waiver or consent pursuant to this Agreement. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person(s) in whose name any Note(s) shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Company shall give to any holder of a Note that is an Institutional Investor promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered holders of Notes.

Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Schedule 1. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $100,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $100,000.

(which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and

(a)in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $50,000,000 or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or

(b)in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,

within ten Business Days thereafter, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

Section 13.4Legend. Upon issuance of the Notes and until such time, if any, as the same is no longer required under applicable securities laws, the Notes shall bear the following legend:

THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER SUCH SECURITIES ACT AND ANY SUCH APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER.

Any holder of a Note may, upon surrender of its Notes to the Company together with an opinion of counsel (which counsel may be internal counsel to such holder) to the effect that the foregoing legend is no longer required under applicable securities laws, obtain a like Note in exchange for its Note without such legend.

SECTION 14. PAYMENTS ON NOTES.

Section 14.2Home Office Payment. So long as any Purchaser or its nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest and all other amounts becoming due hereunder by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below such Purchaser’s name in Schedule B, or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to

the Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 14.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 14.2.

SECTION 16.SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the purchase or transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Purchaser or any other holder of a Note. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Company under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement, the Notes and any Subsidiary Guaranties embody the entire agreement and understanding between each Purchaser and the Company and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

SECTION 17. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

(a)no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Purchaser (prior to the Closing) or holder of a Note (after the Closing) unless consented to by such Purchaser or holder in writing; and

(b)no amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of each Purchaser (prior to the Closing) and each holder of a Note at the time outstanding (after the Closing), (i) subject to Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of (x) interest on the Notes or (y) the Make-Whole Amount, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the Purchasers or holders of which are required to consent to any amendment or waiver, (iii) amend any of Sections 8 (except as set forth in the second sentence of Section 8.2), 11(a), 11(b), 12, 17 or 20, or (iv) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guaranty or reduce the scope of any Subsidiary Guaranty other than in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 17.2Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

(a)Solicitation. The Company will provide each holder of a Note with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes or any Subsidiary Guaranty. The Company will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 17 or any Subsidiary Guaranty to each holder of a Note promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes.

(b)Payment. The Company will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder of a Note as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by such holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of any Subsidiary Guaranty or any Note unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of a Note even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

Any consent given pursuant to this Section 17 or any Subsidiary Guaranty by a holder of a Note that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Note to (i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate or (iii) any other Person in connection with, or in anticipation of, such other Person acquiring, making a tender offer for or merging with the Company and/or any of its Affiliates, in each case in connection with such consent, shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder.

Section 17.3Binding Effect, etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 17 or any Subsidiary Guaranty applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver.

SECTION 19. REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS.

This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser at the Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any Purchaser, may be reproduced by such Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital, or other similar process and such Purchaser may destroy any original document so reproduced. The Company agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 19 shall not prohibit the Company or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.

SECTION 20. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such

Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), provided they are informed of and agree to abide by the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and the provisions of this Section 20, (ii) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any Security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement or any Subsidiary Guaranty. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying the provisions of this Section 20.

In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through Intralinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 20, this Section 20 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Company, this Section 20 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

SECTION 21. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates or another Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this

Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

SECTION 22. MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 22.1Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not.

Section 22.2Accounting Terms.

(a)All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (i) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 9, Section 10 and the definition of “Indebtedness”), any election by the Company to measure any financial liability using fair value (as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 825-10-25 – Fair Value Option, International Accounting Standard 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any changes in GAAP after March 30, 2016 that would require leases that would have been treated as operating leases under GAAP as in effect on such date to be classified and accounted for as capital leases (or to be otherwise reflected on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries), such leases shall be classified and accounted for as operating leases for all purposes under this Agreement.

(b)Each of the holders of the Notes by its acceptance thereof understands and agrees with the Company that if in the reasonable opinion of the Company or the Required Holders a change in GAAP occurs which causes a change in any of the calculations contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, calculations with regard to the covenants contained in Section 10 hereof, then and in such event, if the Company or the Required Holders so request, such holders and the Company shall undertake in good faith to amend any affected provisions of this Agreement so as to have an effect comparable to that as of March 30, 2016 and to accommodate such change in GAAP and to enter into an amendment hereof to reflect the same, such amendment to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and the Required Holders; provided that, until such provision is amended in a manner satisfactory to the Company and the Required Holders, the

Company’s compliance with such provision shall be determined on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before the relevant change became effective. In the event that such a change in GAAP causes the Company to violate any of the covenants contained in Section 10 hereof or otherwise causes a Default or Event of Default to occur at a time when no other Default or Event of Default exists, then and in such event, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Default or Event of Default will be caused by such change in GAAP for a period of 90 days following the event which would otherwise be treated as a Default or Event of Default and the Company shall, notwithstanding anything in Section 11 to the contrary, have 90 days from and after the date of the occurrence of such event within which to enter into an amendment with the Required Holders as herein below contemplated.

The procedure for amending this Agreement pursuant to this Section 22.2(b) shall be as follows:

(i)the Company and the Required Holders may, at any time following any such change in GAAP, and the Company shall, within 15 days of the occurrence of the event which would otherwise be treated as a Default or an Event of Default due to a change in GAAP, prepare and deliver to each holder of the Notes and to their special counsel (in the case of an amendment requested by the Company) and to the Company (in the case of an amendment requested by the Required Holders) a proposed form of amendment;

(ii)the holders of the Notes (in the case of an amendment requested by the Company) or the Company (in the case of an amendment requested by the Required Holders) shall, within 30 days of receipt of the proposed form of amendment, deliver to the Company (in the case of an amendment requested by the Company) or to the holders of the Notes (in the case of an amendment requested by the Required Holders) their collective or its, as the case may be, response to the proposed amendment;

(iii)in the case of the occurrence of an event which would otherwise be treated as a Default or an Event of Default due to a change in GAAP, the parties shall negotiate in good faith toward the execution of the amendment contemplated by this Section 22.2(b) until the 90th day following the occurrence of such event; in any other case in which the Company or the Required Holders requests an amendment pursuant to this Section 22.2(b), the parties shall negotiate in good faith toward the execution of the amendment contemplated by this Section 22.2(b) until the 90th day following delivery of the proposed form of amendment;

(iv)in the event the parties are unable to come to an agreement on the form and substance of the amendment during any such 90-day period, the Company’s compliance with such provision shall be determined on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before the relevant change became effective, until such provision is amended in a manner satisfactory to the Company and the Required Holders; and

(v)until such provision is amended in a manner satisfactory to the Company and the Required Holders in accordance with this Section 22.2(b), each set of financial statements delivered to holders of Notes pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or (b) shall include detailed reconciliations reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders as to the effect of such change in GAAP on the calculation of the covenants contained in Section 10 hereof.

Section 22.3Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 22.4Construction, etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

Section 22.5Divisions. For all purposes hereunder, under the Notes and the Subsidiary Guaranties, if in connection with any division or plan of division pursuant to Section 18-217 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws) (a “Division”): (a) any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized by the holders of its equity interests at such time. Any reference herein or therein to a merger, consolidation, amalgamation, assignment, sale, Disposition or transfer, or similar term, shall be deemed to apply to a Division of or by a limited liability company, or an allocation of assets to a series of a limited liability company (or the unwinding of such a Division or allocation), as if it were a merger, consolidation, amalgamation, assignment, sale, Disposition or transfer, or similar term, as applicable, to, of or with a separate Person. Any Division of a limited liability company shall constitute a separate Person hereunder and thereunder (and each Division of any limited liability company that is a Subsidiary, joint venture or any other like term shall also constitute such a Person) on the first date of its existence.

Section 22.6Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.
