in the table above are categorized as trading securities. Corporate and other debt primarily consist of United Kingdom (the "U.K.") government and U.S. state and municipal debt securities.   Equities principally represent the Company's investments in marketable equity securities of large-, mid- and small-cap domestic, international and global companies to seed new Asset Management products and includes investments in public and private asset management funds managed both by LAM and third-party asset managers.   Interests in LAM alternative asset management funds represent (i) GP interests owned by Lazard in LAM-managed alternative asset management funds and (ii) GP interests consolidated by the Company pertaining to noncontrolling interests in LAM alternative asset management funds. Such noncontrolling interests in LAM alternative asset management funds, which represent GP interests held directly by certain of our LAM managing directors or employees of the Company, are deemed to be controlled by, and therefore consolidated by, the Company in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Noncontrolling interests are presented within "stockholders' equity" on the consolidated statements of financial condition (see Note 12 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).   Private equity investments owned by Lazard are primarily comprised of investments in private equity funds and direct private equity interests. Such investments primarily include (i) a mezzanine fund, which invests in mezzanine debt of a diversified selection of small- to mid-cap European companies; (ii) Corporate Partners II Limited ("CP II"), a private equity fund targeting significant noncontrolling-stake investments in established public and private companies and (iii) Lazard Senior Housing Partners LP ("Senior Housing"), which acquires companies and assets in the senior housing, extended-stay hotel and shopping center sectors.   Private equity investments consolidated but not owned by Lazard are related solely to Lazard's establishment of a private equity business with the Edgewater Funds ("Edgewater"), a Chicago-based private equity firm, through the acquisition of Edgewater's management vehicles on July 15, 2009. The acquisition was structured as a purchase by Lazard of interests in a holding company that owns interests in the general partner and management company entities of the current Edgewater private equity funds (the "Edgewater Acquisition"). Edgewater is focused on buyout and growth equity investments in middle market companies. The economic interests that the Company does not own are owned by the current leadership team and other investors in the Edgewater management vehicles. See Note 8 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.   On January 24, 2008, Sapphire Industrials Corp. ("Sapphire"), a then newly-organized special purpose acquisition company formed by the Company, completed an initial public offering (the "Sapphire IPO"). Sapphire had been included in equity method investments prior to its dissolution discussed below. Sapphire was formed for the purpose of effecting a business combination within a 24-month period (the "Business Combination") and net proceeds from the Sapphire IPO were placed in a trust account by Sapphire (the "Trust Account") pending consummation of the Business Combination. In connection with the Sapphire IPO, the Company purchased warrants from Sapphire for a total purchase price of $12,500 and Sapphire common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000. The Company's investment in Sapphire had been accounted for using the equity method of accounting. On January 6, 2010, Sapphire announced that it had not completed the Business Combination and it would dissolve and distribute the funds in the Trust Account to all its public shareholders, to the extent they were holders of shares issued in the Sapphire IPO. Pursuant to such dissolution, on January 26, 2010, Sapphire made an initial distribution to the Company aggregating $50,319.

<div> 8.    BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS   On July 15, 2009, the Company established a private equity business with Edgewater, a private equity firm based in Chicago, Illinois, through the Edgewater Acquisition. Following such acquisition, Edgewater's current leadership team retained a substantial economic interest in such entities. Edgewater primarily manages middle market funds. The acquisition was structured as a purchase by Lazard Group of interests in a holding company that in turn owns interests in the general partner and management company entities of the current Edgewater private equity funds.   The aggregate fair value of the consideration recognized by the Company at the acquisition date was $61,624. Such consideration consisted of (i) a one-time cash payment, (ii) 1,142,857 shares of Class A common stock (the "Initial Shares") and (iii) up to 1,142,857 additional shares of Class A common stock subject to earnout criteria and payable over time (the "Earnout Shares"). The Initial Shares are subject to forfeiture provisions that lapse only upon the achievement of certain performance thresholds and transfer restrictions during the four year period ending December 2014. The Earnout Shares will be issued only if certain performance thresholds are met.   In prior years, the Company made certain other business acquisitions. These purchases were affected through an exchange of a combination of cash, Class A common stock, and by Lazard Ltd issuing shares of non-participating convertible Series A and Series B preferred stock, which are or were each convertible into Class A common stock. In connection with such acquisitions, as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 1,295,029 shares of Class A common stock were issuable on a non-contingent basis. Additionally, at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 4,862 shares of Series A preferred stock were convertible into Class A common shares on a non-contingent basis, with the number of Class A common shares dependent, in part, upon future prices of the Class A common stock. Depending upon the future performance of such businesses acquired, at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 17,159 shares of Series A preferred stock were contingently convertible into shares of Class A common stock. The Class A common stock described above related to such acquisitions is issuable over multi-year periods. </div>

At March 31, 2011, LFB had $4,674 of such indemnifications and held $3,163 of collateral/counter-guarantees to secure these commitments. The Company believes the likelihood of loss with respect to these indemnities is remote. Accordingly, no liability is recorded in the consolidated statement of financial condition.   Private Equity Funding Commitments—At March 31, 2011, the principal unfunded commitment by the Company for capital contributions to private equity investment funds related to CP II, and is an amount not to exceed $3,442 for potential "follow-on investments" and/or for CP II expenses through the earlier of February 25, 2017 or the liquidation of the fund.   Other Commitments—In the normal course of business, LFB enters into commitments to extend credit, predominately at variable interest rates. Such commitments at March 31, 2011 aggregated $15,946. These commitments have varying expiration dates and are fully collateralized and generally contain requirements for the counterparty to maintain a minimum collateral level. These commitments may not represent future cash requirements as they may expire without being drawn upon.   See Notes 7, 8 and 14 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding commitments relating to the LAM Merger, business acquisitions and obligations to fund our pension plans, respectively.   The Company has various other contractual commitments arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, from time to time, LFB enters into underwriting commitments in which it participates as a joint underwriter. The settlement of such transactions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.   In the opinion of management, the fulfillment of the commitments described herein will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.   Legal—The Company's businesses, as well as the financial services industry generally, are subject to extensive regulation throughout the world. The Company is involved from time to time in a number of judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings and inquiries concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our businesses, including proceedings initiated by former employees alleging wrongful termination. The Company reviews such matters on a case-by-case basis and establishes any required reserves if a loss is probable and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. Management believes, based on currently available information, that the results of such matters, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition but might be material to its operating results or cash flows for any particular period, depending upon the operating results for such period. </div>

As of March 31, 2011, the annual interest rate for a loan accruing interest (based on the Federal Funds overnight rate), including the applicable margin, was 2.13%. As of March 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility. </td></tr></table>   Subordinated Debt—Subordinated debt at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 amounted to $150,000 at each date and represents a note which is convertible into a maximum of 2,631,570 shares of Class A common stock at an effective conversion price of $57 per share. The note matures on September 30, 2016, and has a fixed interest rate of 3.25% per annum.

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair value of the Company's senior and subordinated debt was approximately $1,301,000 and $1,271,000, respectively, and exceeded the aggregate carrying value by approximately $74,000 and $44,000, respectively. The fair value of the Company's senior and subordinated debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company's current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements or based on market quotations, where available. </div>

The Company reports its derivative instruments separately as assets and liabilities unless a legal right of set-off exists under a master netting agreement enforceable by law. The Company's derivative instruments are recorded at their fair value, and are included in "other assets" and "other liabilities" on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Except for derivatives hedging "available-for-sale" debt securities, which were sold in the fourth quarter of 2010 (see Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), the Company elected to not apply hedge accounting to its other derivative instruments held. Gains and losses on the Company's derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, as well as gains and losses on derivatives then accounted for as fair value hedges, are included in "interest income" and "interest expense", respectively, or "revenue-other", depending on the nature of the underlying item, on the consolidated statements of operations. Furthermore, with respect to derivatives then designated as fair value hedges, the hedged item was required to be adjusted for changes in fair value of the risk being hedged, with such adjustment accounted for in the consolidated statements of operations.   The table below represents the fair values of the Company's derivative assets and liabilities reported within "other assets" and "other liabilities" on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial condition as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:   <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments relate to interest rate swaps that hedged "available-for-sale" securities and had been accounted for as fair value hedges. For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, the Company recognized pre-tax losses pertaining to interest rate swaps of $1,991. These losses were substantially offset by gains recognized on the hedged risk portion of such "available-for-sale" securities. </div>

<div> 13.    INCENTIVE PLANS   Share-Based Incentive Plan Awards   A description of Lazard Ltd's 2005 Plan and 2008 Plan, and activity with respect thereto during the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, is presented below.   Shares Available Under the 2005 Plan and 2008 Plan   The 2005 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the grant or exercise of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units and other equity-based awards. Each stock unit granted under the 2005 Plan represents a contingent right to receive one share of Class A common stock, at no cost to the recipient. The fair value of such stock unit awards is determined based on the closing market price of Lazard Ltd's Class A common stock at the date of grant.   In addition to the shares available under the 2005 Plan, additional shares of Class A common stock are available under the 2008 Plan. The maximum number of shares available under the 2008 Plan is based on a formula that limits the aggregate number of shares that may, at any time, be subject to awards that are considered "outstanding" under the 2008 Plan to 30% of the then-outstanding shares of Class A common stock (treating, for this purpose, the then-outstanding exchangeable interests of LAZ-MD Holdings on a "fully-exchanged" basis as described in the 2008 Plan).   Restricted and Deferred Stock Units   RSUs require future service as a condition for the delivery of the underlying shares of Class A common stock (unless the recipient is then eligible for retirement under the Company's retirement policy) and convert into Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis after the stipulated vesting periods. The grant date fair value of the RSUs, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, is amortized over the vesting periods or requisite service periods, and, for purposes of calculating diluted net income per share, are included in the diluted weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding using the treasury stock method. Expense relating to RSUs was as follows within the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations:   <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr><td width="82%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="6" align="center">Three Months Ended March 31,</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">    2011    </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">2010</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Compensation and benefits (*)</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">84,858</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">103,813</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Restructuring</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">–</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">46,880</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Total</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">84,858</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">150,693</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 3px double;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 3px double;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 3px double;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 3px double;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td> </td></tr></table> <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td valign="top" width="4%" align="left">(*)</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Includes, during the three month period ended March 31, 2010, $24,860 relating to the amendment of the Company's retirement policy (described below). </td></tr></table>   RSUs issued subsequent to December 31, 2005 generally include a dividend participation right that provides that during vesting periods each RSU is attributed additional RSUs (or fractions thereof) equivalent to any ordinary quarterly dividends paid on Class A common stock during such period.

Such amendment served to modify the retirement eligibility vesting requirements of existing and future RSU awards, and, as noted above, Lazard accelerated the recognition of compensation expense for the affected RSU awards. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash charge to "compensation and benefits" expense of $24,860 in the first quarter of 2010 relating to prior years' awards.   Non-Executive members of the Board of Directors receive approximately 55% of their annual compensation for service on the Board of Directors and its committees in the form of DSUs. There were no such DSUs granted during the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Their remaining compensation is payable in cash, which they may elect to receive in the form of additional DSUs under the Directors' Fee Deferral Unit Plan described below. DSUs are convertible into Class A common stock at the time of cessation of service to the Board. The DSUs include a cash dividend participation right equivalent to any ordinary quarterly dividends paid on Class A common stock, and resulted in nominal cash payments for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.   On May 9, 2006, the Board of Directors adopted the Directors' Fee Deferral Unit Plan, which allows the Company's Non-Executive Directors to elect to receive additional DSUs pursuant to the 2005 Plan in lieu of some or all of their cash fees. The number of DSUs that shall be granted to a Non-Executive Director pursuant to this election will equal the value of cash fees that the applicable Non-Executive Director has elected to forego pursuant to such election, divided by the market value of a share of Class A common stock on the date on which the foregone cash fees would otherwise have been paid. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, 1,249 and 2,131 DSUs, respectively, had been granted pursuant to such Plan.   DSU awards are expensed at their fair value on their date of grant, which, inclusive of amounts related to the Directors' Fee Deferral Unit Plan, totaled $56 and $76 during the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.   The following is

In connection with such vested RSUs, the Company satisfied certain employees' tax obligations in lieu of issuing 1,947,471 and 893,594 shares of Class A common stock in the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Accordingly, 4,730,973 and 4,874,318 shares of Class A common stock held by Lazard Group were delivered during the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.   As of March 31, 2011, unrecognized RSU compensation expense, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, was approximately $390,000 , with such unrecognized compensation expense expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.9 years subsequent to March 31, 2011. The ultimate amount of such expense is dependent upon the actual number of RSUs that vest. The Company periodically assesses the forfeiture rates used for such estimates. A change in estimated forfeiture rates would cause the aggregate amount of compensation expense recognized in future periods to differ from the estimated unrecognized compensation expense described herein.   Restricted Stock   The following is a summary of activity related to shares of restricted Class A common stock during the three month period ended March 31, 2011:   <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="80%" align="center"> <tr><td width="74%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="5%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Restricted Shares</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Balance, January 1, 2011</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">95,332</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">$37.63</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Granted</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">183,422</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">$45.26</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Vested</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(183,422</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">) </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">$45.26</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Balance, March 31, 2011</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">95,332</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">$37.63</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 3px double;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 3px double;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr></table>   During the three month period ended March 31, 2011, 183,422 shares of restricted Class A common stock vested. In connection with such vested shares of restricted Class A common stock, the Company satisfied certain employees' tax obligations in lieu of delivering 25,220 shares of Class A common stock by Lazard Group. Accordingly, 158,202 shares of Class A common stock held by Lazard Group were delivered during the three month period ended March 31, 2011.   Expense relating to restricted stock awards is charged to "compensation and benefits" expense within the Company's consolidated statements of operations, and amounted to $8,643 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 (there were no restricted stock awards granted or outstanding during the three month period ended March 31, 2010). The awards include a cash dividend participation right equivalent to any ordinary quarterly dividends paid on Class A common stock during the period, which will vest concurrently with the underlying restricted stock award. At March 31, 2011, unrecognized restricted stock expense was approximately $2,000, with such expense to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.5 years subsequent to March 31, 2011.   For purposes of calculating diluted net income per share, such awards are included in the diluted weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding using the "treasury stock" method.   Other Incentive Awards   In February 2011, the Company granted to eligible employees actual or notional interests in several Lazard managed investment funds ("Lazard Fund Interests") which had an aggregate fair value on the date of grant of approximately $26,000, with such aggregate fair values excluding potential forfeitures.   The Lazard Fund Interests granted provide for one-third vesting on March 1, 2013 and two-thirds vesting on March 3, 2014. Compensation expense with respect to the Lazard Fund Interests amounted to $2,641 in the three month period ended March 31, 2011, and is being recognized over the vesting period, with an offset recorded as an incentive compensation liability, the ultimate value of which will vary based on the then vested value of the underlying Lazard Fund Interests, with such compensation expense to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.6 years subsequent to March 31, 2011. </div>

These inputs reflect management's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. Items included in Level 3 include securities or other financial assets whose volume and level of activity have significantly decreased when compared with normal market activity and there is no longer sufficient frequency or volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. </td></tr></table>   The Company's investments in U.S. Government and agency debt securities as well as its corporate and other debt securities are considered Level 1 assets with the respective fair values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets. The Company's investments in fixed income funds are considered Level 1 assets when their fair values are based on the reported closing price for the fund or Level 2 assets when their fair values are primarily based on broker quotes as provided by external pricing services.   The fair value of equities is principally classified as Level 1 or Level 2 as follows: marketable equity securities are classified as Level 1 and are valued based on the last trade price on the primary exchange for that security; public asset management funds are classified as Level 1 and are valued based on the reported closing price for the fund; and investments in private asset management funds are classified as Level 2 and are primarily valued based on information provided by fund managers and, secondarily, from external pricing services to the extent managed by LAM.   The fair value of interests in LAM alternative asset management funds is classified as Level 2, and is based on information provided by external pricing services.   The fair value of private equity investments is classified as Level 3, and is based on financial statements provided by fund managers, appraisals and internal valuations.   Where information reported is based on broker quotes, the Company generally obtains one quote/price per instrument. In some cases, quotes related to corporate bonds obtained through external pricing services represent the average of several broker quotes. Where information reported is based on data received from fund managers or from external pricing services, the Company reviews such information to ascertain at which level within the fair value

<div> 16.    INCOME TAXES   Lazard Ltd is subject to U.S. federal income taxes on its portion of Lazard Group's operating income. Although a portion of Lazard Group's income is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, Lazard Group primarily operates in the U.S. as a limited liability company that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, Lazard Group's income from its U.S. operations is generally not subject to U.S. federal income taxes because such income is attributable to the partners. In addition, Lazard Group is subject to New York City Unincorporated Business Tax ("UBT"), which is attributable to Lazard Group's operations apportioned to New York City. UBT is incremental to the U.S. federal statutory tax rate. Outside the U.S., Lazard Group operates principally through subsidiary corporations that are subject to local income taxes.   The Company recorded income tax provisions of $13,463 and $6,413 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 18.3% and (18.6)%, respectively. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35.0% and the effective tax rates described above principally relates to (i) Lazard Group primarily operating as a limited liability company in the U.S., (ii) foreign source income (loss) not subject to U.S. income taxes, (iii) Lazard Group's income from U.S. operations attributable to noncontrolling interests, (iv) valuation allowance changes affecting the provision for income taxes and (v) U.S. state and local taxes (primarily UBT), which are incremental to the U.S. federal statutory tax rate.   Tax Receivable Agreement   The redemption of historical partner interests in connection with the Company's separation and recapitalization that occurred in May 2005 and subsequent exchanges of LAZ-MD Holdings exchangeable interests for shares of Class A common stock have resulted, and future exchanges of LAZ-MD Holdings exchangeable interests for shares of Class A common stock may result, in increases in the tax basis of the tangible and/or intangible assets of Lazard Group. The tax receivable agreement dated as of May 10, 2005 with LFCM Holdings requires the Company to pay LFCM Holdings 85% of the cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that the Company actually realizes as a result of the above-mentioned increases in tax basis. The Company calculates this provision annually and includes such amounts in operating expenses on its consolidated statements of operations once the results of operations for the full year are known. As a result, there is no provision for such payments in the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. If any provision is required pursuant to the tax receivable agreement, such amount would be fully offset by a reduction in the Company's income tax expense.   </div>

<div> 1.    ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION   Organization   Lazard Ltd, a Bermuda holding company, and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "Lazard Ltd", "Lazard" or the "Company"), including Lazard Ltd's indirect investment in Lazard Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively referred to, together with its subsidiaries, as "Lazard Group"), is one of the world's preeminent financial advisory and asset management firms and has long specialized in crafting solutions to the complex financial and strategic challenges of our clients. We serve a diverse set of clients around the world, including corporations, partnerships, institutions, governments and high net worth individuals.   Lazard Ltd indirectly held approximately 94.0% of all outstanding Lazard Group common membership interests as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Lazard Ltd, through its control of the managing members of Lazard Group, controls Lazard Group. LAZ-MD Holdings LLC ("LAZ-MD Holdings"), an entity owned by Lazard Group's current and former managing directors, held approximately 6.0% of the outstanding Lazard Group common membership interests as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Additionally, LAZ-MD Holdings was the sole owner of the one issued and outstanding share of Lazard Ltd's Class B common stock (the "Class B common stock") which provided LAZ-MD Holdings with approximately 6.0% of the voting power but no economic rights in the Company as of such dates. Subject to certain limitations, LAZ-MD Holdings' interests in Lazard Group are exchangeable for Lazard Ltd Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class A common stock"). Lazard Group is governed by an Operating Agreement dated as of May 10, 2005, as amended (the "Operating Agreement").   The Company's sole operating asset is its indirect ownership of common membership interests of Lazard Group and its managing member interest of Lazard Group, whose principal operating activities are included in two business segments:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left">•</td> <td valign="top" width="1%"> </td> <td valign="top" align="left"> Financial Advisory, which includes providing general strategic and transaction-specific advice on mergers and acquisitions ("M&A") and other strategic matters, restructurings, capital structure, capital raising and various other corporate finance matters, and </td></tr></table>   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left">•</td> <td valign="top" width="1%"> </td> <td valign="top" align="left"> Asset Management, which includes strategies for the management of equity and fixed income securities and alternative investment and private equity funds, as well as wealth management. </td></tr></table>   In addition, the Company records selected other activities in its Corporate segment, including management of cash, certain investments and the commercial banking activities of Lazard Group's Paris-based Lazard Frères Banque SA ("LFB"). The Company also allocates outstanding indebtedness to its Corporate segment.   LFB is a registered bank regulated by the Banque de France and its primary operations include asset and liability management for Lazard Group's businesses in France through its money market desk and commercial banking operations, deposit taking and, to a lesser extent, financing activities and custodial oversight over assets of various clients. LFB also engages in underwritten offerings of securities in France.   Basis of Presentation   The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Lazard Ltd have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Lazard Ltd's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the "Form 10-K"). The accompanying December 31, 2010 unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial condition data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statement purposes. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the financial statements and the accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge of current events and actions that Lazard may undertake in the future, actual results may differ materially from the estimates. The consolidated results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year.   The condensed consolidated financial statements include Lazard Ltd, Lazard Group and Lazard Group's principal operating subsidiaries: Lazard Frères & Co. LLC ("LFNY"), a New York limited liability company, along with its subsidiaries, including Lazard Asset Management LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "LAM"); its French limited liability companies Compagnie Financière Lazard Frères SAS ("CFLF") along with its subsidiaries, LFB and Lazard Frères Gestion SAS ("LFG") and Maison Lazard SAS and its subsidiaries; and Lazard & Co., Limited ("LCL"), through Lazard & Co., Holdings Limited, an English private limited company ("LCH"), together with their jointly owned affiliates and subsidiaries.   The Company's policy is to consolidate (i) entities in which it has a controlling financial interest, (ii) variable interest entities ("VIEs") where the Company has a variable interest and is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and (iii) limited partnerships where the Company is the general partner, unless the presumption of control is overcome. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity, but exerts significant influence over the entity's operating and financial decisions, the Company applies the equity method of accounting in which it records in earnings its share of earnings or losses of the entity. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.   Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the manner of presentation in the current period. </div>

<div> 14.    EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS   The Company provides retirement and other post-retirement benefits to certain of its employees through defined contribution and defined benefit pension plans and other post-retirement plans. These plans generally provide benefits to participants based on average levels of compensation. Expenses related to the Company's employee benefit plans are included in "compensation and benefits" expense on the consolidated statements of operations.   Employer Contributions to Pension Plans— In accordance with agreements reached with the Trustees of certain U.K. pension plans in 2005, the Company was obligated to make further contributions to such pension plans based upon the cumulative performance of the plans' assets against specific benchmarks as measured on June 1, 2009 (the "measurement date") and subsequently remeasured on June 1, 2010 (the "remeasurement date"). As of December 31, 2009, the obligation related to the cumulative underperformance of the plans' assets (the "underperformance obligation") was payable in equal monthly installments through May 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company contributed approximately $8,600 to settle the plans' underperformance obligation in full.   In addition, on June 30, 2009 the Company and Trustees concluded the December 31, 2007 triennial valuation of the U.K. pension plans discussed above, pursuant to which: (i) the Company agreed to contribute, in addition to amounts to cover administrative expenses under the plans, 2.3 million British pounds ($3,698 at March 31, 2011 exchange rates), during each year from 2011 to 2018 inclusive, subject to adjustment resulting from the December 31, 2010 triennial valuation, which the Company expects to have concluded prior to the contribution payment scheduled for 2011, and (ii) to secure the Company's obligations thereunder, on July 15, 2009 the Company placed in escrow 12.5 million British pounds, with a final redemption date of December 31, 2018. This amount is subject to adjustment based on the results of the December 31, 2010 triennial valuation and subsequent triennial valuations. The aggregate escrow balance has been recorded in "cash deposited with clearing organizations and other segregated cash" and "investments", respectively, on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Income on the escrow balance accretes to the Company and is recorded in interest income.   During the three month period ended March 31, 2011, no contribution to these U.K. pension plans was required, and no contributions were required to be made to other pension plans.   The following table summarizes the components of total benefit cost (credit) for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:   <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr><td width="66%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="5%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td

<div> 19.    REGULATORY AUTHORITIES   LFNY is a U.S. registered broker-dealer and is subject to the net capital requirements of Rule 15c3-1 under the Exchange Act. Under the basic method permitted by this rule, the minimum required net capital, as defined, is a specified fixed percentage of total aggregate indebtedness recorded in LFNY's Financial and Operational Combined Uniform Single ("FOCUS") report filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), or $100, whichever is greater. At March 31, 2011, LFNY's regulatory net capital was $80,530, which exceeded the minimum requirement by $71,797.   Certain U.K. subsidiaries of the Company, including LCL, Lazard Fund Managers Limited and Lazard Asset Management Limited (the "U.K. Subsidiaries") are regulated by the Financial Services Authority. At March 31, 2011, the aggregate regulatory net capital of the U.K. Subsidiaries was $132,628, which exceeded the minimum requirement by $87,031.   CFLF, through which non-corporate finance advisory activities are carried out in France, is subject to regulation by the Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel for its banking activities conducted through its subsidiary, LFB. In addition, the investment services activities of the Paris group, exercised through LFB and other subsidiaries of CFLF, primarily LFG (asset management), are subject to regulation and supervision by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers. At March 31, 2011, the consolidated regulatory net capital of CFLF was $191,216, which exceeded the minimum requirement set for regulatory capital levels by $87,256.   Certain other U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries are subject to various capital adequacy requirements promulgated by various regulatory and exchange authorities in the countries in which they operate. At March 31, 2011, for those subsidiaries with regulatory capital requirements, their aggregate net capital was $94,120, which exceeded the minimum required capital by $70,164.   At March 31, 2011, each of these subsidiaries individually was in compliance with its regulatory capital requirements.   Lazard Ltd is currently subject to supervision by the SEC as a Supervised Investment Bank Holding Company ("SIBHC"). As a SIBHC, Lazard Ltd is subject to group-wide supervision, which requires it to compute allowable capital and risk allowances on a consolidated basis. However, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act"), provides for the elimination of the SEC's SIBHC program on July 21, 2011. Following this elimination, we will be required to be regulated by another regulatory body, either in the U.S. or Europe, pursuant to relevant rules in Europe. The Dodd-Frank Act allows certain securities holding companies seeking consolidated supervision to elect to be regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve. The Dodd-Frank Act could have other effects on us, which we are currently in the process of examining, including the impact of the elimination of the SIBHC program and the effects of various new regulations mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act. </div>

In addition to the master separation agreement, which effected the separation and recapitalization that occurred in May 2005, LFCM Holdings entered into certain agreements that addressed various business matters associated with the separation, including agreements related to administrative and support services (the "administrative services agreement"), employee benefits, insurance matters and licensing. In addition, LFCM Holdings and Lazard Group entered into a business alliance agreement. Certain of these agreements are described in more detail in the Company's Form 10-K.   For the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, amounts recorded by Lazard Group relating to the administrative services agreement amounted to $614 and $546, respectively, and net referral fees for underwriting, private placement, M&A and restructuring transactions under the business alliance agreement amounted to $6,947 and $3,345, respectively. Amounts relating to the administrative services agreement are reported as reductions to operating expenses. Net referral fees for underwriting transactions under the business alliance agreement are reported in "revenue-other". Net referral fees for private placement, M&A and restructuring transactions under the business alliance agreement are reported in advisory fee revenue.   Receivables from LFCM Holdings and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 primarily include $1,721 and $12,775, respectively, related to administrative and support services and reimbursement of expenses incurred on behalf of LFCM Holdings, and $9,473 and $11,413, respectively, related to referral fees for underwriting and private placement transactions. Payables to LFCM Holdings and its subsidiaries at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 relate primarily to obligations pursuant to the tax receivable agreement of $2,361 (see Note 16 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and $31 and $458, respectively, principally relating to referral fees for Financial Advisory transactions.   LAZ-MD Holdings   Lazard Group provides selected administrative and support services to LAZ-MD Holdings through the administrative services agreement as discussed above, with such services generally to be provided until December 31, 2014 unless terminated earlier because of a change in control of either party. Lazard Group charges LAZ-MD Holdings for these services based on Lazard Group's cost allocation methodology and, for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, such charges amounted to $188 for each period. </div>

<div> 15.    RESTRUCTURING PLAN S   In the first quarter of 2010, the Company announced a restructuring plan which included certain staff reductions and realignments of personnel (the "2010 Restructuring Plan"). In connection with the 2010 Restructuring Plan, the Company recorded a charge in the first quarter of 2010 of $87,108, inclusive of $46,880 relating to the acceleration of RSUs (in aggregate, the "2010 Restructuring Charge").   The 2010 Restructuring Charge primarily consisted of compensation-related expenses, including the acceleration of unrecognized expenses pertaining to RSUs previously granted to individuals who were terminated pursuant to the restructuring, severance and benefit payments and other costs. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the remaining liability associated with the 2010 Restructuring Plan was $13,145 and $21,381, respectively.

<div> 20.    SEGMENT INFORMATION   The Company's reportable segments offer different products and services and are managed separately as different levels and types of expertise are required to effectively manage the segments' transactions. Each segment is reviewed to determine the allocation of resources and to assess its performance.

<div> 12.    STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY   Issuance of Class A Common Shares—During the three month period ended March 31, 2010, 3,000,000 shares of Class A common stock were newly issued by Lazard Ltd to Lazard Group in connection with the settlement of vested restricted stock unit grants denominated in shares of Class A common stock ("RSUs"). Such shares were authorized as part of the 25,000,000 shares of Class A common stock that may be issued under the Lazard Ltd 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2005 Plan").   Secondary Offerings—Pursuant to the applicable Prospectus Supplements, during 2010, certain selling shareholders of Lazard Ltd (which include current and former managing directors of Lazard (and, from time to time, certain of our directors, executive officers or former executive officers) and their permitted transferees (collectively, the "Selling Shareholders") who hold LAZ-MD Holdings exchangeable interests and/or Class A common stock), offered to sell shares of Class A common stock pursuant to applicable underwriting and pricing agreements. During the three month period ended March 31, 2010 one such secondary offering occurred, which is described below (no secondary offerings occurred during the three month period ended March 31, 2011).   In March 2010, certain Selling Shareholders sold 7,869,311 shares of Class A common stock (including (i) 7,262 shares of Class A common stock previously received upon the exchange of a like number of LAZ-MD Holdings exchangeable interests, (ii) 6,180,639 shares of Class A common stock received upon a simultaneous exchange of a like number of LAZ-MD Holdings exchangeable interests (including 5,958,000 shares held by the Estate of Lazard's former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and related trusts (collectively, the "Estate") and (iii) 1,681,410 shares held by the Estate) at a price of $35.90 per share (collectively, the "March 2010 Secondary Offering").   Lazard Ltd did not receive any net proceeds from the sales of Class A common stock from the March 2010 Secondary Offering.   Lazard Group Distributions—As previously described, Lazard Group's common membership interests are held by subsidiaries of Lazard Ltd and by LAZ-MD Holdings. Pursuant to provisions of the Operating Agreement, Lazard Group distributions in respect of its common membership interests are allocated to the holders of such interests on a pro rata basis. Such distributions represent amounts necessary to fund (i) any dividends Lazard Ltd may declare on its Class A common stock and (ii) tax distributions in respect of income taxes that Lazard Ltd's subsidiaries and the members of LAZ-MD Holdings incur as a result of holding Lazard Group common membership interests.   During the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, Lazard Group distributed the following amounts to LAZ-MD Holdings and the subsidiaries of Lazard Ltd (none of which related to tax distributions):   <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr><td width="84%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="6" align="center">Three Months Ended March 31,</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">2011</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">2010</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> LAZ-MD Holdings</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">955</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">3,941</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Subsidiaries of Lazard Ltd</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">14,115</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">10,791</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">15,070</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">14,732</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 3px double;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 3px double;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 3px double;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 3px double;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td> </td></tr></table>   Pursuant to Lazard Group's Operating Agreement, Lazard Group allocates and distributes to its members a substantial portion of its distributable profits in installments, as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year. Such installment distributions usually begin in February.   Exchange of Lazard Group Common Membership Interests—In addition to the simultaneous exchanges that occurred in connection with the March 2010 Secondary Offering, during the three month period ended March 31, 2010, Lazard Ltd issued 37,129 shares of Class A common stock in connection with the exchange of a like number of Lazard Group common membership interests (received from members of LAZ-MD Holdings in exchange for a like number of LAZ-MD Holdings exchangeable interests).   See "Noncontrolling Interests" below for additional information regarding Lazard Ltd's and LAZ-MD Holdings' ownership interests in Lazard Group.   Share Repurchase Program—In January 2010, the Board of Directors of Lazard Ltd authorized, on a cumulative basis, the repurchase of up to $200,000 in aggregate cost of its Class A common stock and Lazard Group common membership interests through December 31, 2011. The Company's prior share repurchase program expired on December 31, 2009. In February 2011, the Board of Directors of Lazard Ltd authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $250,000 in aggregate cost of Lazard Ltd Class A common stock and Lazard Group common membership interests through December 31, 2012. The Company expects that the share repurchase program, with respect to the Class A common stock, will continue to be used primarily to offset a portion of the shares that have been or will be issued under the 2005 Plan and the Lazard Ltd 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2008 Plan"). Pursuant to such authorizations, purchases have been made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, and since inception of the program in February 2006 through March 31, 2011, purchases by Lazard Group with respect to such program are set forth in the table below (including, in the three month period ended March 31, 2011, purchases of 766,814 Class A common shares, at an aggregate cost of $32,689, and the purchase of 19,032 Lazard Group common membership interests, at an aggregate cost of $794):   <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr><td width="71%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="7%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="7%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Number  of Shares/Common Membership Interests Purchased</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Average Price  Per Share/Common Membership Interest</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Class A common stock</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">17,540,473</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">$33.21</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Lazard Group common membership interests</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">1,400,089</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">$32.66</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr></table>   As a result of Lazard Group's delivery of shares of Class A common stock during the four year and three month period ended March 31, 2011 relating to (i) the settlement of vested RSUs and deferred stock unit grants ("DSUs"), (ii) the incentive plan share awards of shares of restricted Class A common stock and (iii) the issuance of shares of restricted Class A common stock in exchange for RSUs, there were 2,725,147 and 6,847,508 shares of Class A common stock held by Lazard Group at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
