2. The RSUs were settled for Class A common stock on September 30, 2017 in order to satisfy tax obligations.
3. Grant of Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") pursuant to the employment agreement between Mr. Cantor and Moelis & Company Group LP ("Group LP"), described in the Company's Form 8-K dated September 2, 2014, and the Moelis & Company 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

5. If after September 30, 2019, Mr. Cantor notifies Group LP of his intent to terminate his employment to take a full-time elected or appointed position in federal government, state government, or national political party, the RSUs will continue to vest on their vesting schedule, subject to not engaging in certain detrimental activities; provided if applicable ethics rules for such position prohibit ownership of the unvested RSUs, such RSUs shall vest as of his commencement of such position.
6. The RSUs will be forfeited if Group LP terminates Mr. Cantor for cause or if Mr. Cantor terminates his employment other than (i) for good reason or (ii) after September 30, 2019 to take a full-time elected or appointed position in federal government, state government, or a national political party.
