2.2 Permissible Exchanges by Class B Partners.

(a) General Rule. Subject to Sections 2.2(b) through (e) and 2.6, during any twelve (12) month period commencing on or following the six-month anniversary of the IPO Date and until the date of termination of employment of a Class B Partner, each Class B Partner (along with his or her Specified Permitted Transferees) (collectively, the “Partner Group”) shall be permitted collectively to Exchange, or to transfer or gift Class B Units held by the Partner Group to a Permitted Charitable Institution, a number of vested Class B Units in an amount not to exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate number of vested and unvested Class B Units held by such Partner Group as of the first day of such 12-month period in which the applicable Exchange (or transfer or gift) occurs; provided that, at all times following the IPO Date until termination of employment, (i) each Class B Partner who was a Class B Partner on the IPO Date must retain at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the number of Class B Units held by such Class B Partner on the IPO Date (as adjusted for any stock splits, reverse stock splits, share combinations, dividends and reclassifications occurring after the IPO Date) and (ii) each Class B Partner who became a Class B Partner at any time after the IPO Date must retain at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the number of Class B Units held by such Class B Partner on the date of admission of such Class B Partner to the Partnership (as adjusted for any stock splits, reverse stock splits, share combinations, dividends and reclassifications occurring after the date of his or her admission to the Partnership). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Class B Partners whose employment is terminated due to Retirement may Exchange any number of Class B Units for Class A Shares at any time.

(b) Post-IPO Date Class B Partners. Notwithstanding Section 2.2(a), but subject to Sections 2.2(c) through (e) and 2.6, any Person who becomes an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates after the IPO Date may not exchange any Class B Units during his or her first year of employment.

(c) Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 2.2(a) and (b), (i) following the six-month anniversary of the IPO Date, the Board may permit any Class B Partner or his or her Specified Permitted Transferees to exchange vested Class B Units in an amount exceeding that described in Section 2.2(a), which permission may be withheld, delayed, or granted on such terms and conditions as the Board may determine in its sole discretion, and (ii) in the event that the aggregate amount of income taxes payable by a member of a Partner Group and attributable to any of (A) the grant or vesting of Class B Units, (B) the exercise of options to acquire Class B Units and/or (C) the Exchange of Class B Units for Class A Shares upon termination of employment (whether or not such partner is or was an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates at the time that such income tax first became due and payable) (the “Member Tax Obligation”) exceeds the net proceeds such partner would receive upon the sale of all of the Class A Shares issued to such Class B Partner in exchange for vested Class B Units pursuant to Section 2.2(a) as of the first day of the relevant twelve month period during which the Member Tax Obligation first becomes due and payable, such partner shall instead, in the case of a

4

condition described in subsection (ii)(A) and (ii)(B) above, be entitled to Exchange a number of vested Class B Units and resell an equal number of Class A Shares issued in exchange for such Class B Units, and in the case of a condition described in subsection (ii)(C) above, sell sufficient Class A Shares issued in exchange for exchanged Class B Units, such that, in each case, the net proceeds from the sale of such Class A Shares would enable such member to satisfy the Member Tax Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Member Tax Obligation shall be mutually agreed to by the relevant Class B Partner and the Executive Committee and calculated by taking into account the marginal federal, state and applicable local income tax rate applicable to the relevant member of the Partner Group, the deductibility of state and local income taxes for federal income tax purposes, the availability of offsetting losses or tax credits, and such other relevant factors as are mutually agreed to by such partner and the Executive Committee, acting in good faith.

(d) Restrictions on Class A Shares. Each Class B Partner hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Company shall not have any obligation to deliver Class A Shares that have been registered under the Securities Act, and (ii) the Company reserves the right on any Exchange Date to provide registered Class A Shares, unregistered Class A Shares or any combination thereof, as it may determine in its sole discretion. The Company reserves the right to cause certificates evidencing such Class A Shares to be imprinted with legends as to restrictions on transfer that it may deem necessary or appropriate, including legends as to applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws or other legal or contractual restrictions and may require any Class B Partner to which Class A Shares are to be issued to agree in writing (A) that such Class A Shares will not be transferred except in compliance with such restrictions and (B) to such other matters as the Company may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate in light of applicable law and existing agreements.

(e) Vested Class B Units. For the avoidance of doubt, a Class B Partner may not Exchange any vested Class B Units for six (6) months following the IPO Date.

(f) Unvested Class B Units. For the avoidance of doubt, a Class B Partner may not Exchange any unvested Class B Units at any time.

2.3 Exchange Request. A Class B Partner may submit a request to effect an Exchange by delivering to the Company, not less than fourteen (14) calendar days prior to an Exchange Date (or such lesser number of days as the Company may permit in its sole discretion), a written notice (the “Exchange Request”). An Exchange Request shall set forth the number of Class B Units such Class B Partner’s Partner Group elects to Exchange for Class A Shares and the proposed Exchange Date. The Class B Partner shall represent to the Company that such Class B Partner’s Partner Group owns the Class B Units to be delivered at such Closing pursuant to Section 2.7, free and clear of all Liens, except as set forth therein, and, if there are any Liens identified in the Exchange Request, such Class B Partner shall covenant that such Class B Partner’s Partner Group will deliver at the applicable Closing evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that all such Liens have been released. An Exchange Request is not revocable or modifiable, except with the written consent of the Company.

2.4 Suspensions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, at all times, in its sole discretion and without a limitation, to block any Exchange by a Partner Group or shorten the Open Window Period if it becomes aware of any nonpublic information that has not been disclosed to the public.

5

2.5 Closing Date.

ANNEX A

INSTRUMENT OF TRANSFER

This INSTRUMENT OF TRANSFER (this “Instrument”) is made as of the Applicable Date by the undersigned (the “Transferor”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth on the signature page to this Instrument and, if not defined therein, in the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement (as amended or modified, the “Silvercrest LPA”) of Silvercrest L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”) between Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Partnership and the Transferors.

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, Transferor is the owner of the Applicable Number of vested Class B Units (the “Transferred Units”) and a party to the Silvercrest LPA;

WHEREAS, Transferor has submitted to the Company an Exchange Request, dated as of the Exchange Request Date, electing to exchange (the “Exchange”) the Transferred Units for an equal number of Class A Shares of the Company (the “Exchange Shares”); and

WHEREAS, in connection with the Exchange, Transferor desires to transfer to the Company all of Transferor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Transferred Units.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants set forth herein and in the Silvercrest LPA and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, Transferor hereby agrees as follows:

1. Transfer. Transferor hereby transfers, assigns and delivers to the Company, free and clear of all Liens, all of Transferor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Transferred Units.

2. Representations and Warranties. Transferor hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

(a) Transferred Units. Immediately prior to giving effect to the transfer contemplated by this Instrument, Transferor owns, beneficially and of record, the Transferred Units free and clear of any Liens.

(b) Authority of Transferor. If Transferor is not a natural person, Transferor is duly formed or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which Transferor was formed or organized. Transferor has full right, authority, power and legal capacity to enter into this Instrument and each agreement, document and instrument to be executed and delivered by Transferor pursuant to, or as contemplated by, this Instrument and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Instrument and each agreement, document and instrument executed and delivered by Transferor pursuant to, or as contemplated by, this Instrument constitutes, or when executed and delivered will

A1

constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations of Transferor enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. The execution, delivery and performance by Transferor of this Instrument and each such other agreement, document and instrument:

(c) Accredited Investor. Transferor has either (1) completed and delivered to the Company a questionnaire in the form of Schedule 1 attached hereto in respect of Transferor’s qualification as an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and the representations and warranties made by Transferor to the Company in such questionnaire are true, complete and accurate or (2) provided to the Company such representations, warranties and undertakings as the Company shall reasonably require to ensure that the Exchange does not violate the Securities Act and/or other applicable securities laws.

(d) Investment Purpose. The Exchange Shares to be acquired by Transferor upon the consummation of the Exchange are being acquired by Transferor for investment for Transferor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view towards the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to a sale or sales that are registered under the Securities Act or exempt from such registration. Transferor (other than a natural person) either (1) was not formed for the purpose of investing in the Company or (2) has provided to the Partnership and the Company such representations, warranties and undertakings as the Partnership and the Company shall reasonably require to ensure that the Exchange does not violate the Securities Act and/or other applicable securities laws. Transferor acknowledges that holders of the Exchange Shares must bear the economic risk of an investment in the Exchange Shares so acquired for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, such Exchange Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, such Exchange Shares cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Transferor also acknowledges that transfers of the Exchange Shares so acquired are further restricted by applicable United States federal and state and foreign securities laws.

A2

(e) Access to Information. Transferor understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, the acquisition and ownership of the Exchange Shares. Transferor has been provided an opportunity to ask questions of, and has received answers satisfactory to Transferor from, the Company and its representatives regarding the Exchange Shares, and has obtained any and all additional information from the Company and its representatives that Transferor deems necessary regarding the Exchange Shares.

(f) Evaluation of and Ability to Bear Risks. Transferor has such knowledge and experience in financial affairs that Transferor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of, and other considerations relating to, the ownership of the Exchange Shares, and has not relied in connection with the acquisition of the Exchange Shares upon any representations, warranties or agreements other than those set forth in this Instrument. Transferor’s financial situation is such that Transferor can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Exchange Shares for an indefinite period of time, and Transferor can afford to suffer the complete loss of its investment in the Exchange Shares.

(g) Registration Rights Agreement. Transferor has executed and delivered to the Company a countersigned signature page to the Registration Rights Agreement and understands that the Exchange Shares will be subject to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, which provides certain restrictions on the transferability of such Exchange Shares.
