 PERFORMANCE-BASED STOCK UNIT
AGREEMENT 
 THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of February 20, 2014, between Lazard Ltd, a Bermuda exempted company (the
“Company”), on behalf of its applicable Affiliate (as defined under the definitional rules of Section 1(a) below), and Kenneth M. Jacobs (the “Employee”). 

W I T N E S S E T H 
 In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants made herein and the mutual benefits to be derived herefrom, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

     1. Grant and Vesting of Performance-Based Stock Units. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and to the provisions of the Company’s 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan (the
“Plan”) (all capitalized terms used herein, to the extent not defined, shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan), the Company, on behalf of its applicable Affiliate, hereby grants to the Employee, as of the date set forth above (the
“Grant Date”), the target number of performance-based Stock Units (“Stock Units”) specified in Appendix A, each with respect to one Share. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Employee will
actually earn (or be deemed to earn) a number of Stock Units that is between 0% and 200% of the target number of Stock Units subject to this Agreement, such number of earned Stock Units to be determined based on achievement of the performance goals
set forth on Appendix A (the “Performance Conditions”). 
 (b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
and to the provisions of the Plan, the Stock Units shall vest and no longer be subject to any restriction if each of the following two conditions has been satisfied: 
  

	 	(i)	The Employee has remained continuously employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates until March 1, 2017 (such date, the “Final Service Date”, and
such condition, the “Service Condition”); and 

  

	 	(ii)	 The Committee concludes that during the period beginning on January 1, 2014 and ending on December 31, 2016 (the “Performance
Period”), the Company has achieved the Performance Conditions and specifies the level at which the Stock Units shall vest, based on the scoring, adjustment and weighting provisions set forth in Appendix A; provided, however, that
the Committee, in its sole discretion, may interpret the goals and scoring set forth in Appendix A as it deems necessary or appropriate (including, without limitation, to the extent necessary to address extraordinary events or circumstances). The
ultimate score achieved based on Appendix A (which may range from 0.0 to 2.0) will be multiplied by the total target number of Stock Units in order to determine the number of Stock Units that may vest upon satisfaction of the Service Condition.
Furthermore, the Committee shall determine, following the end of each fiscal year during 

	 	
the Performance Period and in accordance with the methodology described in the first sentence of this Section 1(b)(ii), the extent to which the Company has achieved the Performance
Conditions with respect to such fiscal year and, in the event that the Performance Conditions in that year have been achieved at the target level (i.e., the 1.0x level) or above, then the Performance Conditions will be deemed satisfied with
respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the total target number of Stock Units (any such Stock Units that are earned in accordance with this sentence, the “Fiscal Year Stock Units”). Any Fiscal Year Stock Units will vest upon
satisfaction (or deemed satisfaction) of the Service Condition in accordance with Section 1(b)(i) above or Section 1(d) or 1(f) below and will be settled at the time set forth in Section 1(d)(iii) below. In the event that the
Committee makes any conclusion regarding achievement of the Performance Conditions for the full Performance Period (or, in the case of Section 1(d)(i) or 1(f)(i), for a portion thereof), any Fiscal Year Stock Units will be applied to reduce the
number of Stock Units that would otherwise be earned in accordance with this Agreement. 

 (c) Except as set forth
in Section 1(f) below, in the event that the Employee incurs a Termination of Employment prior to the Final Service Date for any reason not set forth in Section 1(d), all unvested Stock Units (and any Remaining Shares (as defined in
Section 1(d)(iii) below)) shall be forfeited by the Employee effective immediately upon such Termination of Employment. For purposes of this Section 1(c), the Employee will be deemed to have incurred a Termination of Employment on the date
that the Employee provides notice of termination to the Company, and accordingly, all unvested Stock Units (and any Remaining Shares) shall be forfeited by the Employee immediately upon delivery of any such notice. In addition, all unvested Stock
Units (excluding any Fiscal Year Stock Units or Dividend Equivalent Stock Units (as defined in Section 4 below)) shall be forfeited by the Employee to the extent that, following the last day of the Performance Period (or such earlier date as
specified in Section 1(d) or 1(f)), the Performance Conditions with respect to such Stock Units have not been satisfied. 

(d) (i) Except as set forth in Section 1(f) below, in the event that the Employee incurs a Termination of Employment prior to the
Final Service Date due to (A) the Employee’s Disability, (B) the Employee’s death or (C) a Termination of Employment by the Company other than for Cause, subject to Section 1(e) below, the Stock Units (and any Remaining
Shares) held by the Employee on the Date of Termination shall no longer be subject to the Performance Conditions and the Service Condition, and any Stock Units shall be settled as set forth in Section 1(d)(iii) or Section 2 below but such
Stock Units and Remaining Shares shall remain subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 1(e) through the Final Service Date; provided that, in the case of a Termination of Employment due to the Employee’s death as described in
clause (B) of this Section 1(d)(i) or in the case of the Employee’s death subsequent to a Termination of Employment described in this Section 1(d)(i), the Stock Units (and any Remaining Shares) will immediately vest upon the date
of death and the Stock Units shall be settled through delivery of fully transferable Shares as soon as practicable following such date (or, if applicable, in the event the Employee’s death occurs more than halfway through a fiscal quarter, as
soon as practicable following the date that the Committee determines the extent to which the Performance Conditions have been satisfied for the applicable measurement period). The Stock Units 

  
 2 

 
(excluding Fiscal Year Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Stock Units) shall vest based on (1) the actual performance level during the period beginning on the first day of the Performance
Period and ending on the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter preceding the Date of Termination (or, if the Date of Termination occurs more than halfway through a fiscal quarter, the last day of such current fiscal quarter), as determined by
the Committee, and (2) deemed performance at the target level for the period beginning on the first day of the following fiscal quarter through the last day of the Performance Period. 

 

	 	(ii)	Except as set forth in Section 1(f) below, in the event that the Employee incurs a Termination of Employment prior to the Final Service Date due to the
Employee’s Retirement (as defined below), all Stock Units held by the Employee on the Date of Termination (and any Remaining Shares) shall no longer be subject to the Service Condition and, following satisfaction of the Performance Conditions
and subject to Section 1(e), shall be settled as set forth in Section 1(d)(iii) below (unless already settled pursuant to such section prior to Termination of Employment) but shall remain subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 1(e)
through the Final Service Date (subject to any acceleration of vesting as otherwise set forth in this Agreement). Such Stock Units (excluding Fiscal Year Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Stock Units) shall vest at the level determined by the
Committee following the last day of the Performance Period, based on actual performance during the Performance Period. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “Retirement” and “Retirement Eligibility Date” shall have the
meanings set forth in Section 1(g) of this Agreement or any earlier date on or following September 12, 2014 if the Employee’s spouse dies or becomes disabled. 

 

	 	(iii)	 Subject to the final sentence of Section 2 below and except for any such earlier dates as provided below in the case of Fiscal Year Stock Units
and Dividend Equivalent Stock Units, all Shares underlying the Stock Units for which the Performance Conditions have been satisfied (or are deemed to be satisfied in accordance with Section 1(d)(i) or Section 1(f)(i)) shall be delivered to
the Employee (A) in the case of any Termination of Employment due to Disability, within 30 days following the later of (1) the date that the Employee is no longer required to perform any additional services in order to retain such Stock
Units and (2) the date that the Committee determines the extent to which the Performance Conditions have been satisfied for the applicable measurement period, (B) in the case of a Termination of Employment by the Company other than for
Cause, as soon as practicable following the later of (1) the date that the release described in Section 1(e) below has become effective and irrevocable and (2) the date that the Committee determines the extent to which the Performance
Conditions have been satisfied for the applicable measurement period or (C) in the case of a Change of Control, within 30 days following the occurrence of such Change in Control (the date that Shares are delivered to the Employee is an
“Initial Delivery Date”). In the case of the Fiscal Year Stock Units, the Initial Delivery Date shall occur 

  
 3 

	 	
within 30 days following the date that the Committee determines the extent to which the Performance Conditions have been satisfied for the applicable fiscal year. In the case of the Dividend
Equivalent Stock Units, the Initial Delivery Date shall occur within 30 days following the later of (x) September 12, 2014 and (y) the date that the applicable dividend is paid to the Company’s shareholders.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in all cases, the Initial Delivery Date shall not be later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such Stock Units are no longer subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(d). Except in the case of the delivery of Shares upon (1) the Employee’s death, (2) a Change in Control in which any of the
conditions set forth in clauses (A) and (B) of Section 1(f)(iii) are not satisfied or (3) the Employee’s Termination of Employment upon or immediately following a Change in Control under any of the circumstances described in
Section 1(d)(i) or 1(d)(ii), the Employee agrees to make a timely election (or elections, as necessary) pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to all Shares that are delivered to the Employee prior to January 1, 2017,
whether pursuant to this Section 1(d)(iii), Section 1(g)(ii) or any other section of this Agreement. Immediately following the Initial Delivery Date with respect to any Stock Units, subject to approval of the Compliance Department of the
Company or an Affiliate, the Employee will be permitted to dispose of the Applicable Percentage (as defined below) of the Shares (such Shares, the “Transferable Shares”) delivered to the Employee pursuant to this Section 1(d)(iii)
immediately following the date that such Shares are delivered to the Employee. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Percentage” is the percentage of the Shares delivered to the Employee that the Company determines, in its sole
discretion, is necessary to satisfy the Employee’s tax liability incurred with respect to such Shares on the date that such Shares are delivered to the Employee. All Shares delivered to the Employee on the Initial Delivery Date that
are not Transferable Shares (such Shares, the “Remaining Shares”) will remain subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement (including Section 1(e)) until the date that such Remaining Shares otherwise would
have been delivered to the Employee following the Final Service Date or such earlier date on which such Remaining Shares would have been delivered pursuant to this Agreement as a result of the Employee’s death or a Change in Control (such date,
the “Final Delivery Date”). Accordingly, prior to the Final Delivery Date, neither the Employee nor any of the Employee’s creditors or beneficiaries will have the right to subject the Remaining Shares to any anticipation, alienation,
sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, hedge, exchange, attachment or garnishment or any similar transaction. Furthermore, for the avoidance of doubt, the Remaining Shares shall continue to be subject to the forfeiture provisions set forth
in this Agreement relating to violation of the restrictive covenants set forth in Appendix B, which are incorporated herein by reference (the “Restrictive Covenants”) until the Final Delivery Date. 

  
 4 

 (e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the
Employee incurs a Termination of Employment by the Company other than for Cause (regardless of whether the Retirement Eligibility Date precedes the date of such Termination of Employment) or due to a Retirement in accordance with
Section 1(d)(ii), in each case, prior to a Change in Control, from and after the date of such Termination of Employment, in order for the Stock Units or the Remaining Shares, as applicable, to be treated as provided in Section 1(d), the
Employee must sign a release of claims in favor of the Company and its Affiliates, which requirement shall be satisfied (i) upon a Termination of Employment other than for Cause, by the Employee’s signing the Waiver and General Release
attached as Exhibit A (the “Release”) to Schedule I to the Agreement Relating to Retention and Noncompetition and Other Covenants by and among the Company, Lazard Group LLC and the Employee as amended (“Schedule I”) that is
required to be signed as a condition to receipt of severance benefits, modified as necessary to include the Stock Units or the Remaining Shares, as applicable, as consideration for the Release (it being agreed that the Employee need not sign two
releases) and (ii) upon a Retirement, by the signing of a release that contains the substantive provisions set forth in the Release, modified as necessary to reflect the Employee’s rights in connection with a Retirement, and which release
shall be at least as favorable to the Employee as the release used for other retiring award holders. In either case, such Release must become effective and irrevocable on or before the 65th day following the Employee’s Termination of
Employment. In the event the Employee does not sign such Release or revokes such Release before it becomes irrevocable, the Employee shall forfeit all rights to any unvested Stock Units or Remaining Shares, as applicable. In the event that the
Employee incurs a Termination of Employment pursuant to Section 1(d)(i) (other than as a result of death) or 1(d)(ii), and the Employee violates any of the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants prior to the Final Delivery Date, all
outstanding vested or unvested Stock Units (including Fiscal Year Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Stock Units) and, if applicable, all Remaining Shares, shall be forfeited and canceled. Notwithstanding that certain Restricted Covenants in
Appendix B apply for only a limited period following a Termination of Employment, in the event that the Employee incurs a Termination of Employment due to a Retirement, the Employee will forfeit any outstanding Stock Units (including Fiscal
Year Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Stock Units) and, if applicable, any Remaining Shares, if the Employee does not comply with all of the Restrictive Covenants in Appendix B until the earlier of the Final Service Date or, as applicable,
Final Delivery Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a violation of the Restrictive Covenants in Appendix B serve as a basis for forfeiture of Stock Units (including Fiscal Year Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Stock Units) and, if
applicable, any Remaining Shares, from and after a Change in Control. 
 (f) (i) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control that occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period (without regard to whether the Employee’s Retirement has occurred on or prior to the date of such Change in Control), the Performance
Conditions shall no longer apply and, instead, shall be deemed to have been satisfied as of immediately prior to the Change in Control at the greater of (A) the target level and (B) the actual performance level achieved during the period
beginning at the start of the Performance Period and ending on the date of such Change in Control, as determined by the Committee prior to the Change in Control with any necessary exercise of discretion determined by the Committee prior to the
Change in Control. 

  
 5 

	 	(ii)	Except as otherwise provided in this Section 1(f)(ii) and 1(f)(iii) below, following a Change in Control, all Remaining Shares that were outstanding immediately
prior to the Change in Control, and all Remaining Shares that were issued in connection with the Change in Control pursuant to Section 1(d)(iii) above, shall remain outstanding through the Final Delivery Date; provided, however,
that in the event that the Employee incurs a Termination of Employment upon or following a Change in Control but prior to the Final Service Date under any of the circumstances described in Section 1(d)(i) or 1(d)(ii) above, the date of such
Termination of Employment shall be deemed to be the Final Delivery Date. Furthermore, in the event that the Employee incurs a Termination of Employment under any of the circumstances described in Section 1(d)(i) or 1(d)(ii) above prior to the
Final Delivery Date and prior to a Change in Control, upon a Change in Control, the date of the Change in Control shall be deemed to be the Final Service Date for purposes of any Stock Units (and the Final Delivery Date for any Remaining Shares)
then held by the Employee and any dividends held by an escrow agent with respect thereto, as set forth in Section 4 below. 

  

	 	(iii)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control prior to the Final Service Date, unless (A) either (1) the Remaining Shares remain
outstanding following such Change in Control or (2) provision is made in connection with the Change in Control for substitution of such Remaining Shares for new awards covering equity interests in a successor entity, with appropriate
adjustments to the number of Remaining Shares, as determined by the Committee prior to the Change in Control pursuant to Section 3(b)(ii) of the Plan, and (B) the material terms and conditions of such Remaining Shares as in effect
immediately prior to the Change in Control are preserved following the Change in Control (including, without limitation, with respect to the vesting schedules, the intrinsic value of the Remaining Shares and transferability of the Shares or other
securities underlying the Remaining Shares prior to and following the Change in Control), the date of the Change in Control shall be deemed to be the Final Delivery Date for purposes of any Remaining Shares then outstanding.

 (g) (i) For purposes of this Agreement and any other agreement between the Employee and the Company that
governs the Employee’s Stock Units and Remaining Shares that was entered into prior to the date of this Agreement (a “Prior Stock Unit Agreement”), “Retirement” shall mean that the Employee voluntarily incurs a Termination
of Employment on or after the date on which the Employee meets the following retirement eligibility requirement (such date, the “Retirement Eligibility Date”): the Employee has remained actively employed by the Company or its Affiliates
through March 31, 2016. 

  
 6 

	 	(ii)	Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any Prior Stock Unit Agreement to the contrary, in the case of any Stock Units that were outstanding immediately
prior to the date of this Agreement and that have a Final Service Date that is scheduled to occur after March 2, 2015, unless such Stock Units are forfeited prior to March 15, 2015, such Stock Units shall be settled through the issuance of
Shares no later than March 15, 2015, and such Shares (other than any Shares that are deemed to be Transferable Shares) shall remain subject to forfeiture based on the Employee’s continued service through March 1, 2016 (subject to any
acceleration of vesting that may occur prior to such date in accordance with this Agreement, the applicable Prior Stock Unit Agreement or Schedule I). 

  

	 	(iii)	 Notwithstanding any provision of Schedule I, this Agreement or any Prior Stock Unit Agreement to the contrary, solely for purposes of the
Employee’s Stock Units (including Fiscal Year Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Stock Units) and Remaining Shares granted pursuant to this Agreement or any Prior Stock Unit Agreement, from September 12, 2014 through the Retirement
Eligibility Date, any determination by the Employee that Good Reason (as defined in Schedule I) exists (and any determination by the Employee of whether an event constituting Good Reason has been cured by the Company) will be deemed to be correct so
long as such determination is made in good faith taking into account all relevant facts and the Employee complies with all procedures set forth in paragraph 4 of Schedule I regarding termination of employment for Good Reason; provided,
however, that if the Board of Directors determines in good faith taking into account all relevant facts that the Employee would not have been entitled to resign for Good Reason but for the terms of this Section 1(g)(iii) (i.e.,
the Board of Directors determines that, in the absence of this Section 1(g)(iii), the alleged Good Reason event would not constitute Good Reason under Schedule I or that the actions taken by the Company have adequately cured such event if it in
fact constituted Good Reason), then the Employee will nevertheless be entitled to resign for Good Reason, but such Termination of Employment will be treated as a Retirement, rather than a Termination of Employment without Cause, for purposes of
determining the treatment of any Stock Units (and any Remaining Shares) granted under this Agreement or any Prior Stock Unit Agreement and then held by the Employee in connection with such Termination of Employment (including, without limitation,
for purposes of determining the level of vesting of any such Stock Units, the duration of the restrictive covenants applicable to such Stock Units and Remaining Shares and the disgorgement of tax benefits in the event of forfeiture of any Remaining
Shares). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 1(g), when the terms “Dividend Equivalent Stock Units”, “Final Service Date”, “Fiscal Year Stock Units”,
“Remaining Shares”, “Stock Units” and “Transferable Shares” are used, they shall have the meaning attributable to such terms 

  
 7 

	 	
under this Agreement or the applicable Prior Stock Unit Agreement, as the context requires. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the requirement to sign a release as set forth in
Section 1(e) of this Agreement with respect to the Stock Units granted under this Agreement apply to the Stock Units and Remaining Shares granted under any Prior Agreements. 

 

	 	(iv)	The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement constitutes an amendment to the Prior Stock Unit Agreements to the extent set forth in this Section 1(g).

     2. Settlement of Units, Restrictions on Remaining Shares. 

As soon as practicable (but in no event more than 30 days) after any Stock Unit has vested and is no longer subject to the applicable
Service Condition and Performance Conditions, the Company shall, subject to Sections 1(d), 1(e) and 6, cause its applicable Affiliate to deliver to the Employee one or more unlegended, freely-transferable stock certificates or book-entry credits in
respect of such Shares issued upon settlement of the vested Stock Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Company shall be entitled to hold the Shares or cash issuable upon settlement of Stock Units that have vested until the Company
shall have received from the Employee a duly executed Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable, and (b) any certificate or book entry credit issued or entered in respect of the Remaining Shares shall be registered in the Employee’s name and shall
bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the Remaining Shares, substantially in the following form: 
 “The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby is subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of the Lazard Ltd 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan
and an Award Agreement, as well as the terms and conditions of applicable law. Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on file at the offices of Lazard Ltd.” 
 The Company may require that the certificates or book entry credits evidencing title of the Remaining Shares be held in custody by the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed and that, as
a condition of receiving the Remaining Shares, the Employee shall have delivered to the Company a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to such Remaining Shares. If and when the Final Delivery Date occurs (or is deemed to occur) with respect to
the Remaining Shares, the legend set forth shall be removed from the certificates or book entry credits evidencing such Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Shares will be delivered to the Employee in settlement
of any Stock Units for which all conditions have been satisfied (or deemed satisfied) no later than March 15 of the year following the year in which such Stock Units are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture within the meaning
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(d). 
     3. Nontransferability of the Stock Units and Remaining Shares.

 Until such time as the Stock Units are ultimately settled or the Remaining Shares are ultimately free from restriction, as
applicable, as provided in Section 1(d), Section 1(f) or Section 2 above, the Stock Units and Remaining Shares shall not be transferable by the Employee by means of sale, assignment, exchange, encumbrance, pledge, hedge or otherwise.

  
 8 

     4. Dividend Equivalents, Rights as a Shareholder. 

If the Company declares and pays (or sets a record date with respect to) ordinary quarterly cash dividends on the Common Stock
(a) during the Performance Period, the target number of Stock Units less any Transferable Shares and Remaining Shares (such Stock Units, the “Target Stock Units”) shall be credited with additional Stock Units (determined by dividing
the aggregate dividend amount that would have been paid with respect to the Target Stock Units if they had been actual Shares by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the dividend payment date) (such additional Stock Units, the “Dividend
Equivalent Stock Units”), which Dividend Equivalent Stock Units (and any additional Dividend Equivalent Stock Units that are granted while the Dividend Equivalent Stock Units are outstanding) shall be subject to the Service Condition and all
other terms of this Agreement but shall not be subject to the Performance Conditions (i.e., the Dividend Equivalent Stock Units shall be treated as Stock Units for which the Performance Conditions have already been satisfied), or
(b) after the Performance Period but while any Stock Units remain outstanding, any then outstanding Stock Units shall be credited with additional Stock Units (determined by dividing the aggregate dividend amount that would have been paid with
respect to the Stock Units if they had been actual Shares by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the dividend payment date), which additional Stock Units shall vest and be settled concurrently with the underlying Stock Units and be treated as Stock
Units for all purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to any extraordinary dividends or distributions, which are addressed in Section 3(b)(i) of the Plan. All
Dividend Equivalent Stock Units shall be settled in accordance with Section 1(d)(iii) above. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, subject to Section 1(d) and Section 2 and any other applicable law or agreement, from and after the Initial Delivery Date, the Employee will have all rights and privileges of a shareholder with respect to the Shares delivered on
such Initial Delivery Date, including the right to vote the Shares and to receive dividends and other distributions with respect thereto, provided that, any dividends that are paid on the Remaining Shares prior to the Final Delivery Date (whether
payable in cash or Shares) will be held until the Final Delivery Date by an escrow agent that is designated by the Company, and in the event that the Remaining Shares are forfeited in accordance with Section 1(e), such dividends will also be
forfeited. For the avoidance of doubt, the determination of applicable dividends, and the calculation of amounts equivalent thereto, provided for in this Section 4 shall be made consistent with the Company’s past practice with respect to
similar Awards. 
     5. Payment of Transfer Taxes, Fees and Other Expenses. 

The Company agrees, or will cause its applicable Affiliate, to pay any and all original issue taxes and stock transfer taxes that may be
imposed on the issuance of Shares received by an Employee in connection with the Stock Units, together with any and all other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection therewith. 

  
 9 

     6. Taxes and Withholding; Disgorgement of Tax Benefits. 

(a) No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Employee for federal, state, local or
foreign income tax purposes with respect to any Stock Units, the Employee shall pay to the Company or its applicable Affiliate, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company or its applicable Affiliate regarding the payment of, any federal,
state, local and foreign taxes that are required by applicable laws and regulations to be withheld with respect to such amount. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Company will report that the Employee will be taxed on the full value
of the Shares underlying the Employee’s Stock Units on the date that such Shares are issued to the Employee in accordance with this Agreement. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be conditioned on compliance by the
Employee with this Section 6, and the Company or its applicable Affiliate shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Employee, including deducting such amount from the
delivery of Shares or cash issued upon settlement of the Stock Units that gives rise to the withholding requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or an Affiliate may, in the Company’s sole discretion and subject to such other
terms and conditions as the Company may determine, if the Employee is not subject to withholding as a matter of applicable law as of the date that the Shares are delivered to the Employee (including if the Employee is a member of the Company who
reports income from the Company and its Affiliates on Schedule K-1 to the Company’s Federal income tax return) and pursuant to the prior written approval of the Company, permit the Employee to surrender some or all of the Transferable Shares to
the Company or an Affiliate and have the Company or such Affiliate remit the relevant taxes on the Employee’s behalf to the appropriate taxing authorities. Prior to an Initial Delivery Date, the Company will notify the Employee of (i) how
many Shares will be delivered to the Employee on such Initial Delivery Date and (ii) the portion, if any, of the Transferable Shares that the Company or an Affiliate will retain pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. 

(b) In the event that the Employee incurs a Termination of Employment due to a Retirement and, after such Retirement, the Employee
forfeits the Remaining Shares and the dividends held in escrow in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement, the Employee shall disgorge to the Company any tax benefit the Employee realizes from the forfeiture of any such Remaining Shares or
dividends, if, as and when actually realized by the Employee. The Employee agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to claim any tax benefit from such forfeiture that the Company reasonably determines is available to the Employee on all
relevant tax returns filed after having received notice from the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6(b) shall not apply from and after a Change in Control or a Termination of Employment pursuant to Section 1(d)(i).

     7. Effect of Agreement. 
 Except as otherwise provided hereunder, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Company. The invalidity or enforceability of any provision
of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its
Affiliates or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any such Affiliates to terminate the 

  
 10 

 
Employee’s employment at any time. Until Shares are actually delivered to the Employee upon settlement of the Stock Units, the Employee shall not have any rights as a shareholder with
respect to the Stock Units, except as specifically provided herein. 
     8. Laws Applicable to Construction; Consent to
Jurisdiction. 
 (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
(United States of America), without regard to principles of conflict of laws that could cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. In addition to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and
the Restrictive Covenants, the Stock Units are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is hereby incorporated by reference. By accepting the Stock Units, the Employee agrees to and is bound by the Plan and the Restrictive Covenants.

 (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 8(c), any controversy or claim between the Employee and the Company or its
Affiliates arising out of or relating to or concerning the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan shall be finally settled by arbitration in New York City before, and in accordance with the rules then obtaining of, the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) or, if FINRA declines to arbitrate the matter, the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA. 

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8(b), and in addition to its right to submit any dispute or controversy to
arbitration, the Company or one of its Affiliates may bring an action or special proceeding in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction sitting in the City of New York, whether or not an arbitration proceeding has theretofore been or is
ever initiated, for the purpose of temporarily, preliminarily, or permanently enforcing the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants, or to enforce an arbitration award, and, for the purposes of this Section 8(c), the Employee (i) expressly
consents to the application of Section 8(d) to any such action or proceeding, (ii) agrees that proof shall not be required that monetary damages for breach of the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants or this Agreement would be difficult
to calculate and that remedies at law would be inadequate, and (iii) irrevocably appoints the General Counsel of the Company as the Employee’s agent for service of process in connection with any such action or proceeding, who shall
promptly advise the Employee of any such service of process by notifying the Employee at the last address on file in the Company’s records. 
 (d) The Employee and the Company hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in the City of New York over any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of,
relating to or in connection with this Agreement or the Plan that is not otherwise required to be arbitrated or resolved in accordance with the provisions of Section 8(b). This includes any suit, action or proceeding to compel arbitration or to

 Appendix A 
 Performance Criteria and Calculation 

  
 A-1

 Appendix B 
 Restrictive Covenants 
 The Employee acknowledges that the grant of the performance-based
Stock Units pursuant to the Performance-Based Stock Unit Agreement (such Stock Units, the “Stock Units” and such Performance-Based Stock Unit Agreement, the “Agreement”) confers a substantial benefit upon the Employee, and agrees
to the following covenants (the “Restrictive Covenants”), which are designed, among other things, to protect the interests of the Lazard Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and its Affiliates
(collectively, the “Firm”) in its confidential and proprietary information, trade secrets, customer and employee relationships, orderly transition of responsibilities, and other legitimate business interests. All capitalized terms used
herein, to the extent not defined, shall have the meaning set forth in the Lazard Ltd 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan. The Employee acknowledges that the Stock Units will be forfeited upon a violation by the Employee of the Restrictive Covenants,
and that, pursuant to the Agreement, the Firm may seek injunctive relief in order to enforce the Restrictive Covenants: 
 (a)
Confidential Information. The Employee shall not at any time (whether prior to or following the Employee’s Termination of Employment) disclose or use for the Employee’s own benefit or purposes or the benefit or purposes of any other
person, corporation or other business organization or entity, other than the Firm, any trade secrets, information, data, or other confidential or proprietary information relating to the customers, developments, programs, plans or business and
affairs of the Firm; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to information that is not unique to the Firm or that is generally known to the industry or the public other than as a result of the Employee’s breach of this Restrictive
Covenant or as required pursuant to an order of a court, governmental agency or other authorized tribunal (provided that the Employee shall provide the Firm prior written notice of any such required disclosure). The Employee agrees that upon the
Employee’s Termination of Employment, the Employee or, in the event of the Employee’s death, the Employee’s heirs or estate at the request of the Firm, shall return to the Firm immediately all books, papers, plans, information,
letters and other data, and all copies thereof or therefrom, in any way relating to the business of the Firm. Without limiting the foregoing, the existence of, and any information concerning, any dispute between the Employee and the Firm shall be
subject to the terms of this Paragraph (a), except that the Employee may disclose information concerning such dispute to the arbitrator or court that is considering such dispute, and to the Employee’s legal counsel, spouse or domestic partner,
and tax and financial advisors (provided that such persons agree not to disclose any such information). 
 (b)
Non-Competition. The Employee acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Firm. The Employee further acknowledges that the Employee has been and shall be provided with access to sensitive and proprietary
information about the clients, prospective clients, knowledge capital and business practices of the Firm, and has been and shall be provided with the opportunity to develop relationships with clients, prospective clients, consultants, employees,
representatives and other agents of the Firm, and the Employee further acknowledges that such proprietary information and relationships are extremely valuable assets in which the Firm has invested and shall continue to invest substantial time,
effort and expense. The Employee agrees that while employed by the Firm and thereafter until (i) (A) three months after the Employee’s date of Termination of Employment for any 

  
 B-1

 
reason other than a termination by the Firm without Cause or (B) one month after the date of the Employee’s Termination of Employment by the Firm without Cause (in either case, the date
of such Termination of Employment, the “Date of Termination”) or (ii) the end of any longer period during which any similar covenants would be applicable to the Employee pursuant to any other agreement (other than an award agreement
evidencing previously granted equity-based, fund interest, deferred cash or similar awards (collectively, the “Prior Awards”)) between the Employee and the Firm (such period, the “Non-compete Restriction Period”), the Employee
shall not, directly or indirectly, on the Employee’s behalf or on behalf of any other person, firm, corporation, association or other entity, as an employee, director, advisor, partner, consultant or otherwise, provide services or perform
activities for, or acquire or maintain any ownership interest in, a “Competitive Enterprise”. For purposes of the Agreement, including this Appendix B, “Competitive Enterprise” shall mean a business (or business unit) that
(x) engages in any activity or (y) owns or controls a significant interest in any entity that engages in any activity, that in either case, competes anywhere with any activity that is similar to an activity in which the Firm is engaged up
to and including the Employee’s Date of Termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Appendix B, the Employee shall not be considered to be in violation of the Restrictive Covenants solely by reason of owning, directly or indirectly, any stock
or other securities of a Competitive Enterprise (or comparable interest, including a voting or profit participation interest, in any such Competitive Enterprise) if the Employee’s interest does not exceed 5% of the outstanding capital stock of
such Competitive Enterprise (or comparable interest, including a voting or profit participation interest, in such Competitive Enterprise). The Employee acknowledges that the Firm is engaged in business throughout the world. Accordingly, and in view
of the nature of the Employee’s position and responsibilities, the Employee agrees that the provisions of this Paragraph (b) shall be applicable to each jurisdiction, foreign country, state, possession or territory in which the Firm may be
engaged in business while the Employee is providing services to the Firm. 
 (c) Nonsolicitation of Clients. The Employee
hereby agrees that during the Non-compete Restriction Period, the Employee shall not, in any manner, directly or indirectly, (i) Solicit a Client to transact business with a Competitive Enterprise or to reduce or refrain from doing any business
with the Firm, to the extent the Employee is soliciting a Client to provide them with services the performance of which would violate Paragraph (b) above if such services were provided by the Employee, or (ii) interfere with or damage (or
attempt to interfere with or damage) any relationship between the Firm and a Client. For purposes of the Agreement, including this Appendix B, the term “Solicit” means any direct or indirect communication of any kind whatsoever, regardless
of by whom initiated, inviting, advising, persuading, encouraging or requesting any person or entity, in any manner, to take or refrain from taking any action, and the term “Client” means any client or prospective client of the Firm to
whom the Employee provided services, or for whom the Employee transacted business, or whose identity became known to the Employee in connection with the Employee’s relationship with or employment by the Firm, whether or not the Firm has been
engaged by such Client pursuant to a written agreement; provided that an entity which is not a client of the Firm shall be considered a “prospective client” for purposes of this sentence only if the Firm made a presentation or
written proposal to such entity during the 12-month period preceding the Date of Termination or was preparing to make such a presentation or proposal at the time of the Date of Termination. 

  
 B-2

 (d) No Hire of Employees. The Employee hereby agrees that while employed by the Firm
and thereafter until (i) six months after the Date of Termination for any reason or (ii) the end of any longer period during which any similar covenants would be applicable to the Employee pursuant to any other agreement (other than an
award agreement evidencing any Prior Awards) between the Employee and the Firm (such period, the “No Hire Restriction Period”), the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of any third party at any time in any
manner, Solicit, hire, or otherwise cause any employee who is at the associate level or above (including, without limitation, managing directors), officer or agent of the Firm to apply for, or accept employment with, any Competitive Enterprise, or
to otherwise refrain from rendering services to the Firm or to terminate his or her relationship, contractual or otherwise, with the Firm, other than in response to a general advertisement or public solicitation not directed specifically to
employees of the Firm. 
 (e) Nondisparagement. The Employee shall not at any time (whether prior to or following the
Employee’s Termination of Employment), and shall instruct the Employee’s spouse or domestic partner, parents, and any of their lineal descendants (it being agreed that in any dispute between the parties regarding whether the Employee
breached such obligation to instruct, the Firm shall bear the burden of demonstrating that the Employee breached such obligation) not to, make any comments or statements to the press, employees of the Firm, any individual or entity with whom the
Firm has a business relationship or any other person, if such comment or statement is disparaging to the Firm, its reputation, any of its affiliates or any of its current or former officers, members or directors, except for truthful statements as
may be required by law. 
 (f) Notice of Termination Required. The Employee agrees to provide a period of advance written
notice to the Firm prior to the Employee’s Termination of Employment equal to (i) three months or (ii) any longer notice period required pursuant to any other agreement (other than an award agreement evidencing any Prior Awards)
between the Employee and the Firm. The Employee hereby agrees that, if, during the applicable period after the Employee has provided notice of termination to the Firm or prior thereto, the Employee enters (or has entered into) a written agreement to
provide services or perform activities for a Competitive Enterprise that would violate Paragraph (b) if performed during the Non-compete Restriction Period, such action shall be deemed a violation of this Paragraph (f). 

(g) Restrictive Covenants Generally. If any of the Restrictive Covenants is finally held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
(whether in whole or in part), such Restrictive Covenant shall be deemed modified to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability and the remaining such Restrictive Covenants shall not be affected thereby;
provided, however, that if any of such Restrictive Covenants is finally held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable because it exceeds the maximum scope determined to be acceptable to permit such provision to be enforceable, such Restrictive
Covenant shall be deemed to be modified to the minimum extent necessary to modify such scope in order to make such provision enforceable hereunder. The Employee hereby agrees that prior to accepting employment with any other person or entity during
his period of service with the Firm or during the Non-compete Restriction Period or the No Hire Restriction Period, the Employee shall provide such prospective employer with written notice of the provisions of this Appendix B, with a copy of such
notice delivered no later than the date of the Employee’s commencement of 

  
 B-3

 
such employment with such prospective employer, to the General Counsel of the Company. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the terms of the Restrictive Covenants: (i) are reasonable in
light of all of the circumstances, (ii) are sufficiently limited to protect the legitimate interests of the Firm, (iii) impose no undue hardship on the Employee and (iv) are not injurious to the public. The Employee acknowledges and
agrees that the Employee’s breach of the Restrictive Covenants will cause the Firm irreparable harm, which cannot be adequately compensated by money damages. The Employee also agrees that the Firm shall be entitled to injunctive relief for any
actual or threatened violation of any of the Restrictive Covenants in addition to any other remedies it may have, including, without limitation, money damages and forfeiture of the Stock Units. The Employee further acknowledges that, except as
provided in Paragraph (h), the Restrictive Covenants and notice period requirements set forth herein shall operate independently of, and not instead of, any other restrictive covenants or notice period requirements to which the Employee is subject
pursuant to other plans and agreements involving the Firm. 
 (h) Other Restrictive Covenants. The Employee acknowledges
that, in the event that the Employee is subject to an employment contract, the Restrictive Covenants set forth in this Appendix B constitute a supplement to such employment contract and will be entirely governed by the distinct and specific
provisions of this Appendix B. The Employee acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants set forth in this Appendix B shall supersede and are in full substitution for any and all prior restrictive covenants included in any award agreement evidencing
any Prior Awards by which the Employee is bound, and this Paragraph (h) shall constitute a valid amendment to such award agreements.

 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (2013.05 BOD)

  
 6 

 3.2 Authority of the Committee. The Committee shall have all powers and discretion
necessary or desirable to administer the Plan and to control its operation, including, but not limited to, the power to (a) determine which Employees and Directors shall be granted Awards, (b) prescribe the terms and conditions of the
Awards, (c) interpret the Plan and the Awards, (d) adopt such procedures and subplans as are necessary or desirable to permit participation in the Plan by Employees and Directors who are foreign nationals or employed outside of the United
States, to satisfy applicable laws outside of the United States and/or for qualifying for favorable tax treatment under applicable laws outside of the United States, (e) adopt rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the
Plan as are consistent therewith and (f) interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, the Committee shall not have the authority to implement an Exchange/Repricing Program without the approval
of the Company’s stockholders. 
 3.3 Delegation by the Committee. The Committee, in its sole discretion and on such terms
and conditions as it may provide, may delegate all or any part of its authority, discretion and powers under the Plan to one or more Directors or employees of the Company; provided, however, that the Committee may not delegate its authority,
discretion and powers with respect to the granting, amending or interpreting of Awards granted to Section 16 Persons. 
 3.4
Decisions Binding. All determinations and decisions made by the Committee, the Board, and any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons, and shall be given the maximum deference permitted by law.

 SECTION 4 
 SHARES SUBJECT TO
THE PLAN 
 4.1 Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3, the total number of Shares available
for grant under the Plan on or after the Effective Date shall be 20,000,000, no more than 15,000,000 of which may be used for Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units. Shares granted under the Plan may be either authorized but unissued
Shares or treasury Shares. 
 4.2 Lapsed Awards. If an Award, including an Award granted prior to the Effective Date, expires,
terminates, is canceled or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, or, with respect to Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, is forfeited or repurchased by the Company, the unpurchased Shares (or for Awards other than
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, the forfeited or repurchased Shares) which were subject thereto will become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated). If Shares subject to an Award of Restricted Stock
or Restricted Stock Units become available again under the Plan pursuant to the preceding sentence, then those Shares will also become available for Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right
settled in Shares, the total number of Shares subject to the portion of the Award so exercised, whether or not actually issued pursuant to such exercise, will cease to be available under the Plan. Shares that have actually been issued under the Plan
pursuant to any Award will not be returned to the Plan and will not become available for future Awards; provided, however, that if unvested Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units are repurchased by the Company or are forfeited, such
Shares will become available for future Awards. Shares used to pay the taxes associated with, and/or Exercise Price of, 

  
 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (2013.05 BOD)

  
 7 

 
an Award will not become available for future Awards. To the extent an Award is paid out in cash rather than Shares, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of Shares available
for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2, and subject to adjustment provided in Section 4.3, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options will
be 20,000,000 Shares. 
 4.3 Adjustments in Awards and Authorized Shares. In the event of any dividend (excluding any cash
dividend other than an extraordinary dividend) or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up,
spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall appropriately adjust the number and class of Shares that may be made subject to Awards, the number, class, and price of Shares
(or other property or cash) subject to outstanding Awards, and the numerical limits of Sections 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, and 8.1. Notwithstanding the preceding, the number of Shares subject to any Award always shall be a whole number. 

SECTION 5 
 STOCK OPTIONS 

5.1 Grant of Options. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, Options may be granted to Employees or Directors at any
time and from time to time as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the number of Shares subject to each Option, provided that during any Fiscal Year, no Employee or Director shall
be granted Options covering more than 4,000,000 Shares. The Committee may grant Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, or a combination thereof. 

5.2 Award Agreement. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Exercise Price, the expiration
date of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, any conditions to exercise of the Option, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine. The Award Agreement shall also specify whether
the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option. 
 5.3 Exercise Price. Subject to the
provisions of this Section 5.3, the Exercise Price for each Option shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 

5.3.1 Nonqualified Stock Options. In the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option, the Exercise Price shall be not less than the Fair Market
Value of a Share on the Grant Date. 
 5.3.2 Incentive Stock Options. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Exercise Price
shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date; provided, however, that if on the Grant Date, the Employee (together with persons whose stock ownership is attributed to the Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the
Code) owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Exercise Price shall be not less than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market
Value of a Share on the Grant Date. 

  
 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (2013.05 BOD)

  
 8 

 5.3.3 Substitute Options. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.3.1
and 5.3.2, in the event that the Company or an Affiliate consummates a transaction described in Section 424(a) of the Code (e.g., the acquisition of property or stock from an unrelated corporation), persons who become Employees or
Nonemployee Directors on account of such transaction may be granted Options in substitution for options granted by their former employer. If such substitute Options are granted, the Committee, in its sole discretion and consistent with
Section 424(a) of the Code, may determine that such substitute Options shall have an Exercise Price less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date. 

5.4 Expiration of Options.

5.4.1 Expiration Dates. Each Option shall terminate no later than the first to occur of the following events: 

(a) The date for termination of the Option set forth in the Award Agreement; or 

(b) The expiration of seven (7) years from the Grant Date. 

5.4.2 Committee Discretion. Subject to the limits of Sections 5.4.1, the Committee, in its sole discretion, (a) shall provide
in each Award Agreement when each Option expires and becomes unexercisable, and (b) may, after an Option is granted, extend the maximum term of the Option (subject to Section 5.8.4 regarding Incentive Stock Options and, unless expressly
determined otherwise by the Committee, to compliance with Section 409A). 
 5.5 Exercisability of Options. Options granted
under the Plan shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. After an Option is granted, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the
exercisability of the Option. 
 5.6 Payment. Options shall be exercised by the Participant’s delivery of a notice of
exercise to the Company (or its designee), setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by, or irrevocably committing to arrangements acceptable to the Company providing for, full payment for
the Shares and following such procedure as the Company may specify from time to time. The notice shall be given in the form and manner specified by the Company from time to time. 

Upon the exercise of any Option, the Exercise Price shall be payable to the Company in full in cash or its equivalent. The Committee, in its
sole discretion, also may permit exercise (a) by tendering previously acquired Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Exercise Price, or (b) by any other means which the Committee, in its
sole discretion, determines to both provide legal consideration for the Shares, and to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. As soon as practicable after receipt of a notice of exercise and full payment for the Shares purchased, the Company
shall deliver to the Participant (which may be by deposit in an account maintained for the Participant at the Company’s designated broker), the Shares purchased. 

  
 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (2013.05 BOD)

 5.7 Restrictions on Share Transferability. The Committee may impose such restrictions
on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option as it may deem advisable, including, but not limited to, restrictions related to applicable securities laws in the U.S. or any other country, the requirements of any national securities
exchange or system upon which Shares are then listed or traded, or any blue sky or state securities laws. 
 5.8 Certain Additional
Provisions for Incentive Stock Options.
 5.8.1 Exercisability. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined on the Grant Date(s))
of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Employee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000. 

5.8.2 Termination of Service. No Incentive Stock Option may be exercised more than three (3) months after the Participant’s
Termination of Service for any reason other than Disability or death, unless (a) the Participant dies during such three-month period, and/or (b) the Award Agreement or the Committee permits later exercise. No Incentive Stock Option may be
exercised more than one (1) year after the Participant’s Termination of Service on account of Disability, unless (a) the Participant dies during such one-year period, and (b) the Award Agreement or the Committee permit later
exercise. 
 5.8.3 Eligible Grantees. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to persons who are employees of the Company or a
Subsidiary on the Grant Date. 
 5.8.4 Expiration. No Incentive Stock Option may be exercised after the expiration of seven
(7) years from the Grant Date; provided, however, that if the Option is granted to an Employee who, together with persons whose stock ownership is attributed to the Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code, owns stock possessing
more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Option may not be exercised after the expiration of five (5) years from the Grant Date. 

5.8.5 Leave of Absence. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no leave of absence may exceed three (3) months, unless
reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, then six (6) months following the first (1st) day of such
leave, any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant will cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonqualified Stock Option. 

SECTION 6 
 RESTRICTED STOCK 

6.1 Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time,
may grant Restricted Stock to Employees and Directors in such amounts as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the number of Shares to be granted to each Employee or Director
as Restricted Stock, provided that during any Fiscal Year, the sum of the number of Restricted Stock Units and Shares of Restricted Stock granted to any one Employee or Director shall not exceed 1,000,000. 

  
 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (2013.05 BOD)

  
 10 

 6.2 Restricted Stock Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by
an Award Agreement that shall specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, shares of
Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company as escrow agent until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed. 
 6.3
Transferability. Except as provided in this Section 6 or Sections 10.5 or 10.6, shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable
Period of Restriction. 
 6.4 Other Restrictions. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may impose such restrictions on Shares
of Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable or appropriate, in accordance with this Section 6.4. 
 6.4.1 General Restrictions.
The Committee may set restrictions based upon continued employment or service with the Company and/or its affiliates, the achievement of specific performance objectives (Company-wide, divisional, or individual), applicable federal, state or country
securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Committee in its discretion. 
 6.4.2 Section 162(m) Performance
Restrictions. For purposes of qualifying grants of Restricted Stock as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee, in its discretion, may set restrictions based upon the achievement of
Performance Goals. The Performance Goals shall be set by the Committee on or before the Determination Date. In granting Restricted Stock that is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code,
the Committee shall follow any procedures determined by it from time to time to be necessary or desirable to enable qualification of the Restricted Stock as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code (e.g., in
determining the Performance Goals and certifying in writing whether the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved after the completion of the applicable Performance Period). 

6.4.3 Legend on Certificates. The Committee, in its discretion, may legend the certificates representing Restricted Stock to give
appropriate notice of the restrictions thereon. 
 6.5 Removal of Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 6, the Shares covered by a Restricted Stock Award shall be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction. The Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions
shall lapse or be removed. After the restrictions have lapsed, the Participant shall be entitled to have any legend or legends placed under Section 6.4.3 on certificates representing the Restricted Stock for which the Period of Restriction has
lapsed removed from his or her Share certificate, and the Shares shall be transferable by the Participant free of any restriction under the Plan. The Committee (in its discretion) may establish procedures regarding the release of Shares from escrow
and the removal of legends, as necessary or desirable to minimize administrative burdens on the Company. 

  
 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (2013.05 BOD)

 6.6 Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of
Restricted Stock may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless the Committee determines otherwise. 
 6.7
Dividends and Other Distributions. During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares unless otherwise
provided in the Award Agreement. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, those Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they
were paid, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement. 
 6.8 Return of Restricted Stock to Company. On the date set forth
in the Award Agreement, any Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed shall be forfeited and, subject to Section 4.2, shall revert to the Company and again shall become available for grant under the Plan. 

SECTION 7 
 RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

 7.1 Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from
time to time, may grant Restricted Stock Units to Employees and Directors in such amounts as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the number of Restricted Stock Units to be
granted to each Employee or Director, provided that during any Fiscal Year, the sum of the number of Restricted Stock Units and Shares of Restricted Stock granted to any one Employee or Director shall not exceed 1,000,000. 

7.2 Value of RSUs. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall represent the right to receive one Share (or the equivalent value thereof) on
such date as is specified in the Award Agreement if the conditions specified in the Award Agreement are met. 
 7.3 Restricted Stock Unit
Agreement. Each Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify any vesting conditions, the number of Restricted Stock Units granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole
discretion, shall determine. 
 7.4 Transferability. Except as provided in this Section 7 or Sections 10.5 or 10.6,
Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated. 
 7.5 Other
Restrictions. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may impose such restrictions on Restricted Stock Units as it may deem advisable or appropriate. 

7.5.1 General Restrictions. The Committee may set restrictions based upon continued employment or service with the Company or its

 12 

 7.5.2 Section 162(m) Performance Restrictions. For purposes of qualifying grants of
Restricted Stock Units as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee, in its discretion, may set performance objectives based upon the achievement of Performance Goals. The Performance Goals shall
be set by the Committee on or before the Determination Date. In granting Restricted Stock Units that are intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall follow any
procedures determined by it from time to time to be necessary or desirable to enable qualification of the Restricted Stock Units as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code (e.g., in determining the
Performance Goals and certifying in writing whether the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved after the completion of the applicable Performance Period). 

7.6 Earning Restricted Stock Units. After any applicable Performance Period and/or vesting period have ended and such Restricted
Stock Units have otherwise become payable, the holder of Restricted Stock Units shall be entitled to receive a payout of the number of Restricted Stock Units earned by the Participant. After the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Committee, in
its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance objectives for such Restricted Stock Unit. 
 7.7 Form and Timing of
Payment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7, or as may be required to comply with or avoid additional taxation to the Participant under Section 409A or as otherwise required by Applicable Laws, payment of earned
Restricted Stock Units shall be made as soon as practicable after vesting (subject to any deferral permitted under Section 10.1). The Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay such earned Restricted Stock Units in cash, Shares, or a
combination thereof. 
 7.8 Return of Restricted Stock Units to Company. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, any
unearned Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited and, subject to Section 4.2, again shall become available for grant under the Plan. 

SECTION 8

 8.1 Grant of SARs. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a SAR may be granted to Employees and Directors at
any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. 
 8.1.1 Number of Shares. The
Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the number of SARs granted to any Employee or Director, provided that during any Fiscal Year, no Employee or Director shall be granted SARs covering more than a total of 4,000,000 Shares. 

8.1.2 Exercise Price and Other Terms. The Committee, subject to the provisions of the Plan, shall have complete discretion to determine
the terms and conditions of SARs. The Exercise Price of each SAR shall be determined by the Committee in its discretion but shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SARs may be granted
with a per Share exercise price of less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date pursuant to the rules of Section 5.3.3, which also shall apply to SARs. 

  
 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (2013.05 BOD)

 8.2 SAR Agreement. Each SAR grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall
specify the Exercise Price, the numbers of SARs granted, the term of the SARs, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. 

8.3 Expiration of SARs. A SAR granted under the Plan shall expire upon the date determined by the Committee, in its sole
discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 5.4 also shall apply to SARs. 
 8.4
Payment of SAR Amount. Upon exercise of an SAR, a Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying: 

(a) The Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise (or, if so specified in the Award Agreement, on the date immediately preceding
the date of exercise) minus the Exercise Price; times 
 (b) The number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. 

At the discretion of the Committee, the payment upon SAR exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equal Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, or in some
combination thereof. The Company shall make such payment as soon as administratively practicable following the SAR exercise. 
 SECTION 9

 CHANGE IN CONTROL 
 9.1
Change in Control. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation or other entity or a Change in Control, each outstanding Award will be treated as the Committee determines, which may include that each Award
will be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation (the “Successor Corporation”). The Committee will not be required to treat all Awards
similarly in the transaction. 
 9.1.1 In the event that the Successor Corporation does not assume or substitute for a Participant’s
Award, the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of his or her outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights that are part of the Award, including Shares as to which the Award would not otherwise be vested or
exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units that are part of the Award will lapse, and, if the Award has performance-based vesting, all Performance Goals or other performance-based vesting criteria will be deemed
achieved at target levels and all other terms and conditions will be deemed met. In addition, if an Option or Stock Appreciation Right is not assumed or substituted for in the event of a merger or Change in Control, the Committee will notify the
Participant in writing or electronically (which notice may be in the form of a notice on the Company’s Intranet or notice to any e-mail or postal address maintained by the Company’s Stock Administration Department for the Participant) that
the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be fully vested and exercisable for a period of time determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, and the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will terminate upon the expiration of such period. 

  
 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (2013.05 BOD)

  
 14 

 9.1.2 For the purposes of this Section 9.1, an Award will be considered assumed if,
following the merger or Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the merger or Change in Control: 

(a) the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or Change in Control by holders of Common
Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); 

(b) in the case of (i) an Option, (ii) a Stock Appreciation Right upon the exercise of which the Committee determines to pay cash,
or (iii) a Restricted Stock Unit which the Committee can determine to pay in cash, the fair market value of the consideration received in the merger or Change in Control by the holder of a Share held on the effective date of the transaction
(and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); or 

(c) in the case of (i) an Option, (ii) a Stock Appreciation Right, or (iii) a Restricted Stock Unit, the common stock of the
Successor Corporation equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or Change in Control. 

9.1.3 Impact on Performance Goals. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.1 to the contrary, an Award that vests, is
earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance goals without the Participant’s consent; provided, however, a
non-substantive modification to such performance goals only to reflect the Successor Corporation’s post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption. 

SECTION 10 
 MISCELLANEOUS 

10.1 Deferrals. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit a Participant to defer receipt of the payment of cash or the
delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due to such Participant under an Award. Any such deferral elections shall be subject to such rules and procedures as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and, unless expressly
determined by the Committee, shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 
 10.2 No Effect on Employment or
Service. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant’s employment or service at any time, with or without cause. For purposes of the Plan, transfer of employment of
a Participant between the Company and any one of its Affiliates (or between Affiliates) shall not be deemed a Termination of Service. Employment with the Company and its Affiliates is on an at-will basis only except as may be provided by contract or
applicable law. 
 10.3 Participation. No Employee or Director shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award, or,
having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future Award. 

  
 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (2013.05 BOD)

  
 15 

 10.4 Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards
shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company. 

10.5 Limited Transferability of Awards. No Award granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise
alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to an Award granted to a Participant shall be available during his or her lifetime only to the Participant. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that a Participant may, in a manner specified by the Committee, (a) transfer an Award to a Participant’s spouse, former spouse or dependent pursuant to a court-approved
domestic relations order which relates to the provision of child support, alimony payments or marital property rights, and (b) transfer an Award by bona fide gift and not for any consideration, to (i) a member or members of the
Participant’s immediate family, (ii) a trust established for the exclusive benefit of the Participant and/or member(s) of the Participant’s immediate family, (iii) a partnership, limited liability company or other entity whose
only partners or members are the Participant and/or member(s) of the Participant’s immediate family, or (iv) a foundation in which the Participant and/or member(s) of the Participant’s immediate family control the management of the
foundation’s assets; provided, however, that the Participant may not transfer an Award if the transfer would, in the sole determination of the Committee, cause the Award to lose eligibility for registration under Form S-8 of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended. The transferability provisions provided in the preceding sentence shall be effective only if expressly determined by the Committee, and any transfer shall be made in accordance with such procedures as the Committee may specify
from time to time. 
 10.6 Beneficiary Designations. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of Section 10.5, the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that a Participant may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom any vested but unpaid Award shall be paid in the event of the Participant’s death. Each such designation shall revoke all prior
designations by the Participant and shall be effective only if given in a form and manner acceptable to the Committee. In the absence of any such designation, any vested benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the
Participant’s estate and, subject to the terms of the Plan and of the applicable Award Agreement, any unexercised vested Award may be exercised by the administrator or executor of the Participant’s estate. The provisions of this
Section 10.6 shall be effective only if expressly determined by the Committee. 
 10.7 No Rights as Stockholder. Except to
the limited extent provided in Sections 6.6 and 6.7, no Participant or beneficiary shall have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable pursuant to an Award, unless and until such Shares
shall have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agent or registrar, and delivered to the Participant, or beneficiary, or its nominee. 

10.8 Additional Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any Award that is granted to a Participant and is
intended to constitute qualified “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in the Code (including any amendment to Section 162(m)) or any regulations
and ruling issued thereunder that are requirements for qualification as “performance-based compensation” under 

  
 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (2013.05 BOD)

  
 16 

 
Section 162(m) of the Code, and the Plan will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements. A Participant will be eligible to receive payment pursuant to an
Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code for a Performance Period only if the Performance Goals for such period are achieved, unless otherwise permitted under Section 162(m).
In determining the amounts earned by a Participant pursuant to an Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee will have the right to reduce or eliminate (but not to
increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the Performance Period. 

10.9 Limitation on Awards to Nonemployee Directors. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, during any Fiscal Year, no
Nonemployee Director may be granted Awards with a grant date fair value (determined in accordance with GAAP) of more than $500,000. Any Awards granted to a Participant while an Employee shall not count for purposes of this limitation.
