ary or any participants on account of beneficial ownership interests of the global security for the debt securities or for maintaining, supervising, or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

It is expected that the depositary for a series of debt securities issued by Lazard Group or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, or interest in respect of a permanent global security representing the debt securities, will immediately credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such global security for the debt securities as shown on the records of the depositary or its nominee. It is also expected that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a global security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name.” Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants.

If the depositary for a series of debt securities is at any time unwilling, unable, or ineligible to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by Lazard Group within 90 days, Lazard Group will issue definitive debt securities of that series in exchange for the global security or securities representing that series of debt securities. In addition, Lazard Group may at any time and in its sole discretion, subject to any limitations described in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities, determine not to have any debt securities of a series represented by one or more global securities, and, in such event, will issue definitive debt securities of that series in exchange for the global security or securities representing that series of debt securities. If definitive debt securities are issued, an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security will be entitled to physical delivery of definitive debt securities of the series represented by that global security equal in principal amount to that beneficial interest and to have the debt securities registered in its name.

#### Certain Covenants
The covenants, if any, that will apply to a particular series of debt securities will be set forth in the indenture relating to such series of debt securities and described in a prospectus supplement.
