(a) On April 29, 2010, Lazard Group entered into a $150,000, three-year senior revolving credit facility with a group of lenders (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility, as amended, replaced the prior revolving credit facility, which was terminated as a condition to effectiveness of the Credit Facility. Interest rates under the Credit Facility vary and are based on either a Federal Funds rate or a Eurodollar rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. As of June 30, 2011, the annual interest rate for a loan accruing interest (based on the Federal Funds overnight rate), including the applicable margin, was 1.88%. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility.
