Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) The shares of Class A common stock were acquired upon the exchange of Class II Interests of LAZ-MD Holdings LLC.
(2) The Class II Interests of LAZ-MD Holdings LLC were exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for Class A common stock of Lazard Ltd.
(3) Additional Restricted Stock Units were acquired pursuant to the dividend equivalent reinvestment provisions of the underlying Restricted Stock Unit award.
(4) Each Restricted Stock Unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Class A common stock.
(5) Of the 3,500 Restricted Stock Units acquired, 1,934 vest on March 1, 2013, 878 vest on March 3, 2014 and 688 vest on March 2, 2015.
(6) The reporting person exchanged 279,778 previously granted Restricted Stock Units that were scheduled to vest on March 1, 2013 for 279,778 shares of restricted Class A common stock that are scheduled to vest on the same date. The restricted Class A common stock is subject to the same general terms and conditions of, and the restrictive covenants that applied to, the Restricted Stock Units exchanged by the reporting person.
(7) The reporting person's receipt of restricted Class A common stock in exchange for the Restricted Stock Units gave rise to a tax on the date of the exchange. The reporting person entered into a forward stock purchase agreement with the Company under which, consistent with past practice, the reporting person agreed to sell to the Company the portion of such restricted Class A common stock representing the amount of such tax. The forward purchase agreement will settle on March 1, 2013 (i.e., the vesting date) at a price of $29.86 per share, which was the New York Stock Exchange closing price of Class A common stock on December 14, 2012.
(8) Of the 2,998 Restricted Stock Units acquired, 1,681 vest on March 3, 2014 and 1,317 vest on March 2, 2015.
