Agreement, dated October 29, 2021, between Evercore Group L.L.C. and PNC Bank, National Association

THIS AGREEMENT is entered into this 29th day of October 2021, (the “Effective Date”) between PNC Bank, National Association (the “Lender”) and Evercore Group L.L.C. (the “Broker/Dealer”). This Agreement shall not be effective or deemed to constitute a satisfactory subordination agreement under Appendix D to Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act” or “SEA”), unless and until the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has found the Agreement acceptable as to form and content.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Lender agrees that from time to time between the date first written above and the 28th day of October, 2022 (the “Credit Period”) it will lend to the Broker/Dealer sums of money on a revolving basis (each an “Advance”, collectively “Advances”) which, in the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time, shall not exceed $75,000,000 (the “Credit Line” or “Commitment Amount”).

(b)During the Credit Period, the Broker/Dealer may utilize the Credit Line (as then in effect) by borrowing and/or prepaying outstanding Advances, in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. Each Advance shall be in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or integral multiples thereof.

(c)The Broker/Dealer is obligated to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances on or before the 28th day of October 2023 (the “Scheduled Maturity Date”) (one year after the end of the Credit Period). No Advance shall be considered equity (for purposes of Appendix D of Rule 15c3-1 under the Act) despite the length of the initial term of any Advance.

(d)The obligation of the Broker/Dealer to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the Broker/Dealer (the “Revolving Note”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (with the blank spaces appropriately completed), payable to the order of the Lender, for an amount not exceeding in the aggregate the Credit Line and bearing interest at rates to be agreed upon by the Broker/Dealer and the Lender at the time of any Advance. The Revolving Note shall be dated, and shall be delivered to the Lender, on the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Broker/Dealer. The Lender shall, and is hereby authorized by the Broker/Dealer to, endorse on the schedule attached to the Revolving Note, or on a continuation of such schedule attached thereto and made a part thereof, appropriate notations regarding each Advance evidenced by the Revolving Note as specifically provided therein; provided, however, that the failure to make, or error in making, any such notation shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Broker/Dealer hereunder or under the Revolving Note.

(e)Whenever the Broker/Dealer desires to utilize the Credit Line, it shall so notify the Lender by telephone or any agreed upon electronic method, specifying the amount of the Advance and the date on which each such Advance is to be made. Such notice will also be given and confirmed in writing, to FINRA. Notice shall, at a minimum, identify (i) the date and amount of the proposed Advance, (ii) the aggregate amount of outstanding Advances and (iii) if the Advance is

(f)The proceeds hereof shall be dealt with in all respects as capital of the Broker/Dealer, shall be subject to the risks of its business, and the Broker/Dealer shall have the right to deposit the proceeds hereof in an account or accounts in the Broker/Dealer’s name in any bank or trust company.

(g)This document contains several provisions which are optional and may be included in this Agreement if the parties mutually agree to incorporate such provisions. Each such provision is flagged by [OPTIONAL] appearing at the conclusion of its heading. The space to the left of each such provision enables the parties to indicate, by entering the word “Included”, to incorporate the particular provision(s). Any provision noted as [OPTIONAL] that has the word “Excluded” in the space to the left of such provision or lacks any appropriate indication for inclusion, by default, will not be included in this Agreement. In addition, paragraph 23 of this Agreement (“Optional Rider”), if incorporated by the parties, presents a vehicle for the parties to add their own provisions to this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions there stated.

The Lender irrevocably agrees that the obligations of the Broker/Dealer under this Agreement with respect to the payment of principal and interest are and shall be fully and irrevocably subordinate in right of payment and subject to the prior payment or provision for payment in full of all claims of all other present and future creditors of the Broker/Dealer whose claims are not similarly subordinated (claims hereunder shall rank pari passu with claims similarly subordinated) and to claims which are now or hereafter expressly stated in the instruments creating such claims to be senior in right of payment to the claims of the class of this claim arising out of any matter occurring prior to the date on which the Broker/Dealer’s obligation to make such payment matures consistent with the provisions hereof. In the event of the appointment of a receiver or trustee of the Broker/Dealer or in the event of its insolvency, liquidation pursuant to the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) or otherwise, its bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization whether or not pursuant to bankruptcy laws, or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Broker/Dealer, the holder hereof shall not be entitled to participate or share, ratably or otherwise, in the distribution of the assets of the Broker/Dealer until all claims of all other present and future creditors of the Broker/Dealer, whose claims are senior hereto, have been fully satisfied, or adequate provision has been made therefor.

(a)The Broker/Dealer’s obligation to pay the principal amount hereof on the Scheduled Maturity Date or any accelerated maturity date shall be suspended and the obligation shall not mature for any period of time during which, after giving effect to such payment obligation (together with the payment of any other obligation of the Broker/Dealer under any other subordination agreement payable at or prior to the payment hereof as well as the return of any Secured Demand Note and the Collateral therefor held by the Broker/Dealer and returnable at or prior to the payment hereof), any of the following circumstances apply at the time payment is to be made:

(i)in the event that the Broker/Dealer is not operating pursuant to the alternative net capital requirement provided for in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of Rule 15c3-1 (the “Rule”) under the Act, the aggregate indebtedness of the

Broker/Dealer would exceed 1200 percent of its net capital as those terms are defined in the Rule or any successor rule in effect, or such other percent as may be made applicable to the Broker/Dealer by FINRA, pursuant to its rules, or by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), or

(ii)in the event that the Broker/Dealer is operating pursuant to paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of the Rule (the “Alternative Net Capital Requirement”), the net capital of the Broker/Dealer would be less than 5 percent (or such other percent as may be made applicable to the Broker/Dealer by FINRA, pursuant to its rules, or by the SEC) of aggregate debit items computed in accordance with Exhibit A to Rule 15c3-3 under the Act or any successor rule in effect, or

(iii)the Broker/Dealer’s net capital, as defined in the Rule or any successor rule in effect, would be less than 120 percent (or such other percent as may be made applicable to the Broker/Dealer by FINRA, pursuant to its rules, or by the SEC) of the minimum dollar amount required by the Rule as in effect at such time (or such other dollar amount as may be made applicable to the Broker/Dealer by FINRA, pursuant to its rules, or by the SEC), or

(iv)in the event that the Broker/Dealer is subject to the provisions of Paragraph (a)(6)(v) or (c)(2)(x)(C) of the Rule, the net capital of the Broker/Dealer would be less than the amount required to satisfy the 1000 percent test (or such other percent test as may be made applicable to the Broker/Dealer by FINRA, pursuant to its rules, or by the SEC) stated in such applicable paragraph, or

(v)in the event that the Broker/Dealer is registered under the Commodity Exchange Act (the “CEA”), the net capital of the Broker/Dealer (as defined in and calculated in accordance with the CEA or the regulations thereunder) would be less than the percent or amount specified in Section 1.17(h)(2)(viii) of the regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) or any successor regulation in effect

(b)During any such period of suspension the Broker/Dealer shall, as consistent with the protection of its customers, promptly reduce its business to a condition whereby the principal amount hereof with accrued interest thereon could be paid (together with the payment of any other obligation of the Broker/Dealer under any other subordination agreement payable at or prior to the payment hereof as well as the return of any Secured Demand Note and the Collateral therefor held by the Broker/Dealer and returnable at or prior to the payment hereof) without the Broker/Dealer’s net capital being below the Applicable Minimum Capital, at which time the Broker/Dealer shall repay the principal amount hereof plus accrued interest thereon on not less than five days’ prior written notice to FINRA.

(c)The aggregate principal amount outstanding pursuant to this Agreement shall mature on the first day at which under this paragraph 3 the Broker/Dealer has an obligation to pay the principal amount hereof.

(d)If payment is made of all or any part of the principal hereof on the Scheduled Maturity Date or any accelerated maturity date and if immediately after any such payment the Broker/Dealer’s net capital is less than the Applicable Minimum Capital, the Lender agrees irrevocably (whether or not such Lender had any knowledge or notice of such fact at the time of any such payment) to repay to the Broker/Dealer, its successors or assigns, the sum so paid, to

be held by the Broker/Dealer pursuant to the provisions hereof as if such payment had never been made; provided, however, that any demand by the Broker/Dealer to recover such payment must be made in writing to the Lender, a copy of which must be provided to FINRA, within 120 calendar days from the date of such payment.

EXCLUDED 4.    LIQUIDATION OF BROKER/DEALER IF SUSPENDED FOR 6 MONTHS OR MORE [OPTIONAL]

If pursuant to the terms of paragraph 3 hereof, the Broker/Dealer’s obligation to pay the principal amount hereof is suspended and does not mature, the Broker/Dealer agrees (and the Lender recognizes) that if its obligation to pay the principal amount hereof is ever suspended for a period of six months or more, it will promptly take whatever steps are necessary to effect a rapid and orderly complete liquidation of its business but the right of the Lender to receive payment hereunder shall remain subordinate as herein above set forth.

(a)With the prior written approval of FINRA, any time prior to one year following the date of any Advance, the Broker/Dealer may, at its option, but not at the option of the Lender, pay all or any portion of the principal amount hereof to the Lender prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date (such payment being hereinafter referred to as “Prepayment”). However, no Prepayment prior to one year following the date of any Advance shall be made if:

(i)after giving effect thereto (and to all other payments of principal of outstanding subordination agreements of the Broker/Dealer, including the return of any Secured Demand Note and the Collateral therefor held by the Broker/Dealer, the maturity or accelerated maturity of which are scheduled to occur within six months after the date such Prepayment is to occur pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, or on or prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date for payment of the principal amount hereof disregarding this Paragraph, whichever date is earlier) without reference to any projected profit or loss of the Broker/Dealer, either aggregate indebtedness of the Broker/Dealer would exceed 900 percent of its net capital or its net capital would be less than 200 percent of the minimum dollar amount required by the Rule or, in the case of a Broker/Dealer operating pursuant to the Alternative Net Capital Requirement, its net capital would be less than 6 percent of aggregate debit items computed in accordance with Exhibit A to Rule 15c3-3 under the Act, or, in the event that the Broker/Dealer is subject to the provisions of Paragraph (a)(6)(v) or (c)(2)(x)(C) of the Rule, the net capital of the Broker/Dealer would be less than the amount required to satisfy the 1000 percent test stated in such applicable paragraph, or, if an applicant for registration or registered under the CEA, the Broker/Dealer’s net capital would be less than the percent or amount specified in Section 1.17(h)(2)(vii)(B) of the regulations of the CFTC, or the Broker/Dealer’s net capital would be less than any such other percent or amount test as may be made applicable to the Broker/Dealer by FINRA, the SEC or the CFTC at the time Prepayment is to be made; or

(ii)pre-tax losses of the Broker/Dealer during the latest three-month period equaled more than 15 percent of current excess net capital.

(b)With the prior written approval of FINRA, at any time subsequent to one year following the date of any Advance, the Broker/Dealer may, at its option, but not at the option of the Lender, make Prepayment(s). However, no Prepayment subsequent to one year following the date of any Advance shall be made if, after giving effect thereto (and to all other payments of principal of outstanding subordination agreements of the Broker/Dealer, including the return of any Secured Demand Note and the Collateral therefor held by the Broker/Dealer, the maturity or accelerated maturity of which are scheduled to occur within six months after the date such Prepayment is to occur pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, or on or prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date for payment of the principal amount hereof disregarding this paragraph, whichever date is earlier) without reference to any projected profit or loss of the Broker/Dealer, any of the following circumstances apply at the time such Prepayment is to be made:

(i)in the event that the Broker/Dealer is not operating pursuant to the Alternative Net Capital Requirement, the aggregate indebtedness of the Broker/Dealer would exceed 1000 percent of its net capital as those terms are defined in the Rule or any successor rule in effect (or such other percent as may be made applicable to the Broker/Dealer by FINRA, pursuant to its rules, or by the SEC); or

(ii)in the event that the Broker/Dealer is operating pursuant to the Alternative Net Capital Requirement, the net capital of the Broker/Dealer would be less than 5 percent (or such other percent as may be made applicable to the Broker/Dealer by FINRA, pursuant to its rules, or by the SEC) of aggregate debit items computed in accordance with Exhibit A to Rule 15c3-3 under the Act or any successor rule in effect; or

(iii)the Broker/Dealer’s net capital, as defined in the Rule or any successor rule in effect, would be less than 120 percent (or such other percent as may be made applicable to the Broker/Dealer by FINRA, pursuant to its rules, or by the SEC) of the minimum dollar amount required by the Rule as in effect at such time (or such other dollar amount as may be made applicable to the Broker/Dealer by FINRA, pursuant to its rules, or by the SEC); or

(iv)in the event that the Broker/Dealer is subject to the provisions of paragraph (a)(6)(v) or (c)(2)(x)(C) of the Rule, the net capital of the Broker/Dealer would be less than the amount required to satisfy the 1000 percent test (or such other percent test as may be made applicable to the Broker/Dealer by FINRA, pursuant to its rules, or by the SEC) stated in such applicable paragraph; or

(c)If Prepayment is made of all or any part of the principal hereof prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date and if immediately after such Prepayment the Broker/Dealer’s net capital is less than the amount required to permit such Prepayment pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Lender agrees irrevocably (whether or not such Lender had any knowledge or notice of such fact at the time of such Prepayment) to repay the Broker/Dealer, its successors

or assigns, the sum so paid to be held by the Broker/Dealer pursuant to the provisions hereof as if such Prepayment had never been made; provided, however, that any demand by the Broker/Dealer to recover such Prepayment must be made in writing to the Lender, a copy of which must be provided to FINRA, within 120 calendar days from the date of such Prepayment.

EXCLUDED 6.    LENDER’S RIGHT TO ACCELERATE MATURITY [OPTIONAL]

Subject to the provisions of paragraph 3 hereof, by written notice delivered to the Broker/Dealer at its principal office and to FINRA given no sooner than six months from the date hereof, the Lender may accelerate payment to the last business day of a calendar month not less than six months after the receipt of such notice by both the Broker/Dealer and FINRA, but the right of the Lender to receive payment of the principal amount hereof and interest shall remain subordinate as hereinafter provided.

(a)By prior written notice to the Broker/Dealer at its principal office and to FINRA upon the occurrence of any Event of Acceleration (as herein after defined), given no sooner than six months from the effective date of this Agreement, the Lender may accelerate the maturity of the payment obligation of the Broker/Dealer under this Agreement, together with accrued interest or compensation thereon, to the last business day of a calendar month which is not less than six months after notice of acceleration is received by the Broker/Dealer and FINRA. The right of the Lender to receive payment, together with accrued interest or compensation thereon, shall remain subordinate as herein above set forth.

(b)If, upon the acceleration of maturity resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Acceleration, the payment obligation of the Broker/Dealer is suspended pursuant to paragraph 3 hereof, and liquidation of the Broker/Dealer has not commenced on or prior to such accelerated maturity date, then notwithstanding paragraph 3 hereof, the payment obligation of the Broker/Dealer with respect to this Agreement shall mature on the day immediately following such accelerated maturity date and in any such event the payment obligations of the Broker/Dealer with respect to all other subordination agreements then outstanding shall also mature at the same time. The right of the Lender to receive payment, together with accrued interest or compensation thereon, shall remain subordinate as herein above set forth.

(c)Events of Acceleration which may be included in a subordination agreement are limited by paragraph (b)(10)(i) of Appendix D to the Rule and are limited to:

(i)Failure to pay interest or any installment of principal on a subordination agreement as scheduled;

(ii)Failure to pay when due other money obligations of a specified material amount;

(iii)Discovery that any material, specified representation or warranty of the broker or dealer which is included in the subordination agreement and on which the subordination agreement was based or continued was inaccurate in a material respect at the time made;

norms; or (2) could materially and adversely affect the ability of the broker or dealer to conduct its business as conducted on the date the subordination agreement was made; or (3) is a significant change in the senior management of the broker or dealer or in the general business conducted by the broker or dealer from that which obtained on the date the subordination agreement became effective;

(v)Any continued failure to perform agreed covenants included in the subordination agreement relating to the conduct of the business of the broker or dealer or relating to the maintenance and reporting of its financial position.

For the avoidance of doubt, the proviso of this section (iv) does not relieve the Broker/Dealer from the obligation of delivering to FINRA any notice required by Exchange Act Rule 17a-11; and

(v)Pursuant to Section (b)(10)(i)(E) of Appendix D to the Rule, the Broker/Dealer shall fail to comply with any affirmative covenant set forth in Rider Section 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, or 8.4 and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the earlier of (I) written notice to the Broker/Dealer from the Lender or (II) a responsible officer of the Broker/Dealer becoming aware of such failure.

(a)Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 3 hereof, if liquidation of the business of the Broker/Dealer has not already commenced, the payment obligation of the Broker/Dealer under this Agreement shall mature, together with accrued interest or compensation thereon, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined). The date on which such Event of Default occurs shall, if liquidation of the broker or dealer has not already commenced, be the date on which the payment obligations of the Broker/Dealer with respect to all other subordination agreements then outstanding shall mature but the right of the Lender to receive payment, together with accrued interest or compensation, shall remain subordinate as herein above set forth.

The Lender irrevocably agrees that the loan evidenced hereby is not being made in reliance upon the standing of the Broker/Dealer as a member of FINRA or upon FINRA’s surveillance of the Broker/Dealer’s financial position or its compliance with the By-Laws, rules and practices of FINRA. The Lender has made such investigation of the Broker/Dealer and its partners, officers, directors, stockholders and other principals, from sources other than FINRA, as the Lender deems necessary and appropriate under the circumstances. The Lender is not relying upon FINRA to provide, or cause to be provided, any information concerning or relating to

the Broker/Dealer and agrees that FINRA has no responsibility to disclose, or cause to be disclosed, to the Lender any information concerning or relating to the Broker/Dealer which it may have now, or at any future time have. The Lender agrees that neither FINRA, nor any director, officer or employee of FINRA, shall be liable to the Lender with respect to this agreement or the repayment of the loan evidenced hereby or of any interest or other compensation thereon.

(a)whenever prior written notice by the Broker/Dealer to FINRA is required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the same prior written notice shall be given by the Broker/Dealer to (i) the CFTC and/or (ii) the commodity exchange of which the Broker/Dealer is a member and which is then designated by the CFTC as the Broker/Dealer’s designated self- regulatory organization (the “DSRO”);

(b)whenever prior written consent, permission or approval of FINRA is required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Broker/Dealer shall also obtain the prior written consent, permission or approval of the CFTC and/or of the DSRO; and

(c)whenever the Broker/Dealer provides or receives written notice of acceleration of maturity pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Broker/Dealer shall promptly give written notice thereof to the CFTC and/or to the DSRO.

(a)The term “Broker/Dealer” as used in this Agreement shall include the Broker/Dealer, its heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon such persons.

(b)The term “Lender” as used in this Agreement shall include the Lender, its heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon such persons.

Upon termination of the Broker/Dealer as a member of FINRA, the references herein to FINRA shall be deemed to refer to the then designated Examining Authority. The term “Examining Authority” shall refer to the regulatory body having responsibility for inspecting or examining the Broker/Dealer for compliance with financial responsibility requirements under Section 78iii(c) of SIPA and Section 17(d) of the Act.

This Agreement shall be effective from the date on which it is approved by FINRA and executed by the parties and shall not be modified or amended without the prior written approval of FINRA.

This instrument, together with any rider incorporated pursuant to paragraph 23 of this Agreement, embodies the entire agreement between the Broker/Dealer and the Lender. No other evidence of such agreement has been or will be executed or effective without the prior written consent of FINRA.

(b)This agreement may not be terminated, rescinded or modified if the effect thereof would be inconsistent with the requirements of the Rule or Appendix D to the Rule. Any and all amendments or modifications to this agreement require the prior written approval of FINRA.

(c)The rights and obligations under this agreement may not be transferred, sold, assigned, pledged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of, and no lien, charge or other encumbrance may be created or permitted to be created thereon without the prior written consent of FINRA.

The Lender agrees that it is not taking and will not take or assert as security for the payment of the loan any security interest in or lien upon, whether created by contract, statute or otherwise, any property of the Broker/Dealer or any property in which the Broker/Dealer may have an interest, which is or at any time may be in the possession or subject to the control of the Lender. The Lender hereby waives, and further agrees that it will not seek to obtain payment of the loan in whole or in any part by exercising any right of set-off it may assert or possess whether created by contract, statute or otherwise. Any agreement between the Broker/Dealer and the Lender (whether in the nature of a general loan and collateral agreement, a security or pledge agreement or otherwise) shall be deemed amended hereby to the extent necessary so as not to be inconsistent with the provisions of this paragraph.

Any controversy arising out of or relating to this agreement shall be submitted to and settled by arbitration pursuant to the By Laws and rules of FINRA. The Broker/Dealer and the Lender shall be conclusively bound by such arbitration.

This agreement shall be deemed to have been made under, and shall be governed by, the laws of the State of New York in all respects.

By incorporating this provision, the Broker/Dealer and Lender agree to include as part of this Agreement the terms and provisions contained in “Rider A” attached to this Agreement. The parties hereto may, via the annexed rider, add any mutually agreed upon term that is acceptable to FINRA and is not inconsistent with the Rule or Appendix D to the Rule. The parties, by incorporating this provision and the terms included in the incorporated Rider A, represent to

FINRA, for its reliance, that no provision of Rider A, singly or in combination with any or all of the provisions of this Agreement, is inconsistent with any provision of Appendix D to the Rule or of any other applicable provision of the SEA, the rules and regulations thereunder, or the rules of FINRA, nor do any such provisions impede the ability of the Broker/Dealer to comply therewith.

Interest hereunder will be calculated based on the actual number of days that principal is outstanding over a year of 360 days. In no event will the rate of interest hereunder exceed the Maximum Rate. Regardless of any other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (as defined below), if for any reason the effective interest rate should exceed the Maximum Rate, the effective interest rate shall be deemed reduced to, and shall be, the Maximum Rate, and (i) the amount which would be excessive interest shall be deemed applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Advances outstanding and not to the payment of interest, and (ii) if the outstanding principal amount of the Advances evidenced by the Revolving Note have been or are thereby paid in full, the excess shall be returned to the party paying same, such application to the principal balance of the Advances or the refunding of such excess to be a complete settlement and acquittance thereof.

If the Lender determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the eurodollar market generally, deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are temporarily not being offered to banks in the eurodollar market for the selected term, or adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Daily LIBOR Rate, then the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Broker/Dealer. Thereafter, until the Lender notifies the Broker/Dealer that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the interest rate for all amounts outstanding under the Credit Line shall be equal to (A) the Base Rate plus (B) fifty (50) basis points (0.50%) (the “Alternate Rate”).

In addition, if, after the date of this Agreement, the Lender shall determine (which determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error) that any enactment, promulgation or adoption of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Lender with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Lender to make or maintain or fund loans based on the Daily LIBOR Rate, the Lender shall notify the Broker/Dealer. Thereafter, until the Lender notifies the Broker/Dealer that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, the interest rate on all amounts outstanding under the Credit Line shall be the Alternate Rate.

The LIBOR Replacement Rider attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest in the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances. The Lender does not warrant or accept any responsibility for and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBOR” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate therefor. To the extent that any term or provision of the LIBOR Replacement

“Base Rate” shall mean the Prime Rate. If and when the Base Rate (or any component thereof) changes, the rate of interest with respect to any amounts hereunder to which the Base Rate applies will change automatically without notice to the Broker/Dealer, effective on the date of any such change; provided, however, if the Base Rate determined as provided above would be less than zero, then such rate shall be deemed to be zero.

“Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a legal holiday on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law to be closed for business in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania or New York, New York.

“Default Rate” shall mean the rate per annum (based on the actual number of days that principal is outstanding over a year of 360 days) equal to the lesser of (A) the sum of 3% plus the interest rate otherwise in effect from time to time hereunder and (B) the Maximum Rate.

“Daily LIBOR Rate” shall mean, for any day, the rate per annum determined by the Lender by dividing (A) the Published Rate by (B) a number equal to 1.00 minus the percentage prescribed by the Federal Reserve for determining the maximum reserve requirements with respect to any eurocurrency fundings by banks on such day; provided, however, if the Daily LIBOR Rate determined as provided above would be less than zero, then such rate shall be deemed to be zero. The rate of interest will be adjusted automatically as of each Business Day based on changes in the Daily LIBOR Rate without notice to the Broker/Dealer.

“Maximum Rate” shall mean the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law.

“Prime Rate” shall mean the rate publicly announced by the Lender from time to time as its prime rate. The Prime Rate is determined from time to time by the Lender as a means of pricing some loans to its borrowers. The Prime Rate is not tied to any external rate of interest or index, and does not necessarily reflect the lowest rate of interest actually charged by the Lender to any particular class or category of customers.

“Published Rate” shall mean the rate of interest published each Business Day in the Wall Street Journal “Money Rates” listing under the caption “London Interbank Offered Rates” for a one month period (or, if no such rate is published therein for any reason, then the Published Rate shall be the eurodollar rate for a one month period as published in another publication selected by the Lender).

2.Advance Procedures. If permitted by the Lender, a request for advance may be made by telephone or electronic mail or delivered in accordance with the Lender’s security protocols through any automated platform or electronic service provided by the Lender, with such confirmation or verification (if any) as the Lender may require in its discretion from time to time and shall be made at least one Business Day prior to the date of borrowing. A request for advance by the Broker/Dealer shall be binding upon the Broker/Dealer. The Broker/Dealer authorizes the Lender to accept telephonic and electronic requests for advances, and the Lender shall be entitled to rely upon the authority of any person providing such instructions. The Broker/Dealer hereby

indemnifies and holds the Lender harmless from and against any and all damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) which may arise or be created by the acceptance of such telephonic and electronic requests or by the making of such advances; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any liabilities resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Lender will enter on its books and records, which entry when made will be presumed correct absent manifest error, the date and amount of each advance, as well as the date and amount of each payment made by the Broker/Dealer.

3.Other Payment Terms. Accrued interest will be due and payable on the last day of each month and as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Principal on the Advances shall be due and payable as provided in this Agreement.

If any payment hereunder shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

4.Late Payments; Default Rate. If the Broker/Dealer fails to make any payment of principal, interest or other amount coming due pursuant to the provisions hereof within 15 calendar days of the date due and payable, the Broker/Dealer also shall pay to the Lender a late charge equal to the lesser of 5% of the amount of such payment or $100.00 (the “Late Charge”). Such 15-day period shall not be construed in any way to extend the due date of any such payment. Upon maturity, whether by acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at the Lender’s option upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, amounts outstanding under the Revolving Note shall bear interest at the Default Rate. The Default Rate shall continue to apply whether or not judgment shall be entered. Both the Late Charge and the Default Rate are imposed as liquidated damages for the purpose of defraying the Lender’s expenses incident to the handling of delinquent payments, but are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Lender’s exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or under applicable law, and any fees and expenses of any agents or attorneys which the Lender may employ. In addition, the Default Rate reflects the increased credit risk to the Lender of carrying a loan that is in default. The Broker/Dealer agrees that the Late Charge and Default Rate are reasonable forecasts of just compensation for anticipated and actual harm incurred by the Lender, and that the actual harm incurred by the Lender cannot be estimated with certainty and without difficulty.

5.Prepayment. Subject to the conditions of paragraph 5 of this Agreement, the indebtedness evidenced by the Revolving Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty.

6.Other Loan Documents. This Agreement, the Revolving Note and the Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Guaranty Agreement”) among, Evercore Group Holdings LP (“Evercore Holdings”) and Evercore LP, (the “Evercore LP”; together with Evercore Holdings, each a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors” and the Guarantors together with the Broker/Dealer, each a ““Loan Party” and, collectively, the “Loan Parties”) and the other agreements and documents executed and/or delivered in connection herewith or therewith, as amended, modified or renewed from time to time, are collectively referred to herein as the “Loan Documents”).

7.Representations and Warranties.

The Broker/Dealer will give representatives of the Lender access to the books and records of the Broker/Dealer at all reasonable times (but, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Broker/Dealer), including permission to examine, copy and make abstracts from any of such books and records and such other information as the Lender may, for any purpose relating to the Loan Documents, request, and, if requested by the Lender, the Broker/Dealer will make available to the Lender for examination copies of any reports, statements and returns which the Broker/Dealer may make to or file with any federal, state or local governmental department, bureau or agency; provided that the Lender shall not be entitled to examine or make copies or abstracts of, or otherwise obtain information with respect to, the Broker/Dealer’s records relating to pending or threatened litigation if (i) the Broker/Dealer determines after consultation with counsel qualified to advise on such matters that, notwithstanding the confidentiality requirements of Section 12(l) hereof, it would be prohibited from disclosing such information by applicable law or regulations without making public disclosure thereof or (ii) notwithstanding the confidentiality requirements of Section 12(l) hereof, the Broker/Dealer is prohibited from disclosing such information by the terms of an obligation of confidentiality contained in any agreement with any non-affiliate binding upon the Broker/Dealer and not entered into in contemplation of this proviso, provided further that, with respect to this clause (ii), (x) the Broker/Dealer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consent from the party in whose favor the obligation of confidentiality was made to permit the disclosure of the relevant information and (y) the Broker/Dealer has received a written opinion of counsel confirming that disclosure of such information without consent from such other contractual party would constitute a breach of such agreement.
