#### Regarding the Trustee
The indenture will provide that, except during the continuance of an event of default, the trustee will perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the indenture. During the existence of an event of default, the trustee will exercise such rights and powers vested in it under the indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

The indenture and provisions of the TIA that are incorporated by reference therein will contain limitations on the rights of the trustee, should it become one of Lazard Group’s creditors, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions with Lazard Group or any of its affiliates; provided , however , that if it acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in the indenture or in the TIA), it must eliminate such conflict or resign.
