If there is a Determination with respect to the Taxable Year to which such assertion relates or any subsequent taxable year, for all purposes under this Agreement, the Net Tax Detriment for such years shall be recalculated to properly reflect the difference, if any, between the amount of liability fixed by such Determination and liability taken into account in calculating the Realized Tax Detriment for the year.

ARTICLE 2

DETERMINATION OF CUMULATIVE REALIZED TAX BENEFIT

2.1 Basis Adjustment.

(a) Exchange Assets. For purposes of this Agreement, as a result of an Exchange, the Company will be entitled to a Basis Adjustment with respect to each Exchange Asset held by Silvercrest LP (and each direct and indirect Subsidiary of Silvercrest LP that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes), the amount of which Basis Adjustment will generally be determined as the excess (whether positive or negative) of (i) the sum of (x) the Market Value of the Class A Shares, cash or the amount of any other consideration transferred to the Applicable Limited Partner pursuant to the Exchange as payment for the exchanged Class B Units, to the extent attributable to such Exchange Assets, (y) the amount of the payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Exchange, to the extent attributable to such Exchange Assets, and (z) the amount of debt and other liabilities allocated to the Class B Units acquired pursuant to such Exchange, to the extent attributable to such Exchange Assets; over (ii) the Company’s share of Silvercrest LP’s (or such subsidiary partnership’s) basis in such Exchange Assets immediately after the Exchange, attributable to the Class B Units exchanged, determined as if (x) Silvercrest LP (or such subsidiary partnership) remained in existence as an entity for Tax purposes and (y) Silvercrest LP (or such subsidiary partnership) had not made the election provided by Section 754 of the Code.

(b) Imputed Interest. For the avoidance of doubt, payments made under this Agreement shall not be treated as resulting in a Basis Adjustment to the extent such payments are treated as Imputed Interest.

2.2 Exchange Basis Schedule. Within 60 calendar days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax return of the Company for each Taxable Year, the Company shall deliver to each Limited Partner a schedule (the “Exchange Basis Schedule”) that shows, in reasonable detail, for purposes of federal income Taxes, (a) the actual unadjusted Tax basis of the Exchange Assets as of each applicable Exchange Date, (b) the Basis Adjustment with respect to the Exchange Assets as a result of the Exchanges effected in such Taxable Year, calculated in the aggregate, (c) the period or periods, if any, over which the Exchange Assets are amortizable and/or depreciable, (d) the period or periods, if any, over which each Basis Adjustment is amortizable and/or depreciable, and (e) the amount of the payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Exchanges in such Taxable Year, determined in the Company’s reasonable discretion.

2.3 Tax Benefit Schedule. Within 60 calendar days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax return of the Company for any Taxable Year in which there is a Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment, the Company shall provide to each Limited Partner a schedule showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”). The Tax Benefit Schedule will become final as provided in Section 2.4(a) and may be amended as provided in Section 2.4(b) (subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(b)).

2.4 Procedures, Amendments.

(a) Procedure. Every time the Company delivers to the Applicable Limited Partner an applicable Schedule under this Agreement, including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(b), but excluding any Early Termination Schedule or amended Early Termination Schedule, the Company shall also (i) deliver to the Applicable Limited Partner schedules and work papers providing reasonable detail regarding the preparation of such Schedule and (ii) allow the Applicable Limited Partner reasonable access, at no cost to the Applicable Limited Partner, to the appropriate representatives at the Company and the Advisory Firm in connection with a review of such Schedule. The applicable Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties unless the Applicable Limited Partner, within 30 calendar days after receiving an Exchange Basis Schedule or amendment thereto or a Tax Benefit Schedule or amendment thereto, provides the Company with notice of a material objection to such Schedule (“Objection Notice”) made in good faith. If the parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within 30 calendar days of receipt by the Company of an Objection Notice with respect to such Exchange Basis Schedule or Tax Benefit Schedule, the Company and the Applicable Limited Partner shall employ the reconciliation procedures as described in Section 7.9 (the “Reconciliation Procedures”).

(b) Amended Schedule. The applicable Schedule for any Taxable Year may be amended from time to time by the Company (i) in connection with a Determination affecting such Schedule, (ii) to correct material inaccuracies in the Schedule identified as a result of the receipt of additional factual information relating to a Taxable Year after the date the Schedule was provided to the Applicable Limited Partner, (iii) to comply with the Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation Procedures, (iv) to reflect a material change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to a carryback or carry forward of a loss or other Tax item to such Taxable Year, (v) to reflect a material change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to an amended Tax Return filed for such Taxable Year, or (vi) to adjust the Exchange Basis Schedule to take into account payments made pursuant to this Agreement (such Schedule, an “Amended Schedule”).

ARTICLE 3

TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS

3.1 Payments.

(a) Within ten business days of a Tax Benefit Schedule that was delivered to an Applicable Limited Partner becoming final in accordance with Section 2.4(a), the Company shall pay to the Applicable Limited Partner for such Taxable Year the portion, if any, of the Tax Benefit Payment with respect thereto determined pursuant to Section 3.1(b) with respect to which the Payment Conditions have been satisfied. Each such Tax Benefit Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account of the Applicable Limited Partner previously designated by such Limited Partner to the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of estimated Tax payments, including U.S. federal income Tax payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not be obligated to pay any portion of a Tax Benefit Payment, and the payment of such amount shall not be considered due for any purpose under this Agreement, unless and until the Payment Conditions have been satisfied with respect to such portion (any portion with respect to which the Payment Conditions have not been satisfied, a “Deferrable Portion”).

(b) A “Tax Benefit Payment” means an amount, not less than zero, equal to 85% of the sum of the Net Tax Benefit and the Interest Amount. The “Net Tax Benefit” for each Taxable Year shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Cumulative Realized Tax Benefit as of the end of such Taxable Year over the total amount of payments previously made under this Section 3.1, excluding payments attributable to the Interest Amount; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, no Limited Partner shall be required to return any portion of any previously received Tax Benefit Payment under any circumstances. The “Interest Amount” for a given Taxable Year shall equal the interest on the Net Tax Benefit for such Taxable Year calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without regard to extensions) for filing the Company Return with respect to Taxes for the most recently ended Taxable Year until the Payment Date of the portion of the Net Tax Benefit to which such Interest Amount relates. For the avoidance of doubt, and without duplication, the Interest Amount with respect to a Deferrable Portion of a Tax Benefit Payment shall accrue from the due date of the relevant Tax Return until such Deferrable Portion is paid to the Applicable Limited Partner. The Net Tax Benefit and the Interest Amount shall be determined separately with respect to each separate Exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Taxable Year ending on or after the date of a Change of Control, all Tax Benefit Payments, whether paid with respect to Class B Units that were Exchanged (i) prior to the date of such Change of Control or (ii) on or after the date of such Change of Control, shall be calculated by utilizing the assumptions in clauses (i), (iii) and (iv) of the definition of Valuation Assumptions, substituting in each case the terms “the closing date of a Change of Control” for an “Early Termination Date.”

(c) The “Payment Conditions” shall be satisfied with respect to any portion of a Tax Benefit Payment upon the earliest to occur of:

11

(i) the receipt by the Company of a Tax Ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, after consultation with the Advisory Firm and the Company’s auditors, confirms that the Realized Tax Benefit to which the portion of such Tax Benefit Payment relates is available for the applicable Taxable Year;

(ii) the receipt by the Company of (a) a written opinion issued by the Advisory Firm identifying any Exchange Assets that are amortizable without regard to the anti-churning rules of Section 1.197-2(h) of the Treasury Regulations, together with (if the opinion relates to less than all of the Exchange Assets) (b) a valuation report prepared by a nationally recognized appraiser or valuation expert setting forth the fair market value, as of the date of the relevant Exchange, of the Exchange Assets identified in such opinion, but only if the opinion and report are satisfactory in form and substance to the Company’s auditors and/or tax preparers, as applicable, to conclude that the Realized Tax Benefit to which the portion of such Tax Benefit Payment relates is available for the applicable Taxable Year without the filing of a Schedule UTP (with respect to such Realized Tax Benefit) with the Company’s Tax Returns and without taking any tax reserve for financial statement purposes (with respect to such Realized Tax Benefit); or

(iii) a final Determination with respect to the Company’s liability for Taxes for the relevant Taxable Year that conclusively determines the amount of Realized Tax Benefit.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Exchange Assets that are not, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, after consultation with the Advisory Firm and the Company’s auditors, section 197 intangibles within the meaning of section 197(d)(1) of the Code, shall be treated as satisfying the requirement of Section 3.01(c)(ii)(a). The Company shall make reasonable efforts to determine whether the Payment Conditions are satisfied with respect to an amount of any Tax Benefit Payment before delivering the Tax Benefit Schedule for a Taxable Year, and in any event as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

3.2 No Duplicative Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in duplicative payment of any amount (including interest) required under this Agreement. It is also intended that the provisions of this Agreement will result in 85% of the Company’s Cumulative Realized Tax Benefit, and the Interest Amount thereon, being paid to the Limited Partners pursuant to this Agreement upon and subject to the satisfaction of the Payment Conditions.

3.3 Pro Rata Payments. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that (i) the Company’s deductions with respect to any Basis Adjustment are limited in a particular Taxable Year or (ii) the Company lacks sufficient funds to satisfy or is prevented under any credit agreement or other arrangement from satisfying its obligations to make all Tax Benefit Payments due in a particular Taxable Year, the limitation on the deduction, or the Tax Benefit Payments that may be made, as the case may be, shall be taken into account or made for the Applicable Limited Partner in the same proportion as Tax Benefit Payments would have been made absent the limitations in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 3.3, as applicable.

3.4 Termination of Payments under Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, to the extent that a Limited Partner (i) breaches the restrictive covenants applicable to such Limited Partner as set forth in Section 5.5 of the LP Agreement, (ii) breaches the restrictive covenants applicable to such Limited Partner as set forth in Section 11.7

ARTICLE 4

TERMINATION

4.1 Early Termination and Breach of Agreement.

(a) The Company may terminate this Agreement with respect to all of the Class B Units held (or previously held and Exchanged) by all Limited Partners at any time by paying to the Limited Partners the Early Termination Payment; provided, however, that this Agreement shall terminate only upon the receipt of the Early Termination Payment by all Limited Partners, and provided, further, that the Company may withdraw any notice to execute its termination rights under this Section 4.1(a) prior to the time at which any Early Termination Payment has been paid. Upon payment of the Early Termination Payments by the Company, neither the Limited Partners nor the Company shall have any further payment obligations under this Agreement, other than for any (i) Tax Benefit Payment agreed by the Company acting in good faith and the Applicable Limited Partner to be due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice and (ii) Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of the Early Termination Notice (except to the extent that the amount described in clause (ii) is included in the Early Termination Payment). For the avoidance of doubt, if an Exchange occurs after the Company makes the Early Termination Payments with respect to all Limited Partners, the Company shall have no obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Exchange, and its only obligations under this Agreement in such case shall be its obligations to all Limited Partners under Section 4.3(a).

(b) In the event that the Company breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, whether as a result of failure to make any payment when due, failure to honor any other material obligation required hereunder or by operation of law as a result of the rejection of this Agreement in a case commenced under the Bankruptcy Code, Title 11, U.S.C., or otherwise, then all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such breach and shall include, but shall not be limited to, (i) the Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of a breach, (ii) any Tax Benefit Payment agreed by the Company acting in good faith and any Applicable Limited Partner to be due and payable but unpaid as of the date of a breach, and (iii) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of a breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that

13

the Company breaches this Agreement, the Limited Partners shall be entitled to elect to receive the amounts set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above or to seek specific performance of the terms hereof. The parties agree that the failure to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three months of the date such payment is due shall be deemed to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement, and that it shall not be considered to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement to make a payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three months of the date such payment is due.

(c) The Company, Silvercrest LP and each of the Limited Partners hereby acknowledge that, as of the date of this Agreement, the aggregate value of the Tax Benefit Payments cannot reasonably be ascertained for U.S. federal income Tax or other applicable Tax purposes.

4.2 Early Termination Notice. If the Company chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 4.1 above, the Company shall deliver to each present or former Limited Partner a notice of such intention to exercise such right (“Early Termination Notice”) and a schedule (the “Early Termination Schedule”) specifying the Company’s intention to exercise such right and showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment including that portion of the Early Termination Payment that has satisfied the Payment Conditions and that portion of the Early Termination Payment that has not, as of the Early Termination Date, satisfied a Payment Condition. The Early Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties unless an Applicable Limited Partner, within 30 calendar days after receiving the Early Termination Schedule, provides the Company with notice of a material objection to such Schedule made in good faith (“Material Objection Notice”). If the parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within 30 calendar days after receipt by the Company of the Material Objection Notice, the Company and the relevant Limited Partner shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures as described in Section 7.9 of this Agreement.

4.3 Payment upon Early Termination.

(a) Within 30 calendar days of the Early Termination Conditions being satisfied with respect to an Early Termination Payment (or a portion thereof), the Company shall pay to each Applicable Limited Partner an amount equal to the Early Termination Payment (or the portion thereof for which the Early Termination Conditions have been satisfied), plus interest calculated at the Agreed Rate from the Early Termination Date until the Payment Date of such Early Termination Payment. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Applicable Limited Partner. For the avoidance of doubt, after the initial Early Termination Payment, the Company will be required to make additional payments to the Limited Partner with respect to the Deferrable Portion of the Early Termination Payment if and when a Payment Conditions has been satisfied with respect to such Deferrable Portion. In addition, the Company shall pay the Limited Partner an amount equal to the Realized Tax Benefit resulting from the sale of a non-amortizable asset. Such payment shall be due 30 calendar days after such sale has closed.

(b) The “Early Termination Payment” as of the date of the delivery of an Early Termination Schedule shall equal with respect to the Applicable Limited Partner the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of such date, of all Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid by the Company to the Applicable Limited Partner beginning from the Early Termination Date and assuming that the Valuation Assumptions are applied.

14

4.4 Scheduled Termination. No Tax Benefit Payment shall accrue, or shall become due or payable with respect to any Exchange after the sixtieth anniversary (the “Scheduled Termination Date”) of the effective date of such Exchange. For avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall continue to be in effect in periods after the Scheduled Termination Date with respect to Tax Benefit Payments that arise on or before such date, or any adjustment thereto, and shall terminate upon such time as when all Tax Benefit Payment due and payable hereunder have been paid and the Determinations have been made with respect to all such payments.

ARTICLE 5

SUBORDINATION AND LATE PAYMENTS

5.1 Subordination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment required to be made by the Company to the Limited Partners under this Agreement (an “Exchange Payment”) shall rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to any principal, interest or other amounts due and payable in respect of any obligations in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company and its Subsidiaries (“Senior Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu with all current or future unsecured obligations of the Company that are not Senior Obligations.

5.2 Late Payments by the Company. The amount of all or any portion of any Exchange Payment not made to any Limited Partner when due (without regard to Section 5.1) under the terms of this Agreement shall be payable together with any interest thereon, computed at the Default Rate and commencing from the date on which such Exchange Payment was due and payable.

ARTICLE 6

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall notify each relevant Limited Partner of, and keep such Limited Partner reasonably informed with respect to the portion of any audit of the Company and Silvercrest LP by a Taxing Authority the outcome of which is reasonably expected to affect such Limited Partner’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and shall provide to such Limited Partner reasonable opportunity to provide information and other input to the Company, Silvercrest LP and their respective advisors concerning the conduct of any such portion of such audit; provided, however, that the Company and Silvercrest LP shall not be required to take any action that is inconsistent with any provision of the LP Agreement.

In this regard, the Company and the Applicable Limited Partner agree to report any gain of the Limited Partner resulting from an Exchange as capital gain unless the Company is advised otherwise by an Advisory Firm.

In the event that an Advisory Firm is replaced, such replacement Advisory Firm shall be required to perform its services under this Agreement using procedures and methodologies consistent with the previous Advisory Firm, unless (a) otherwise required by law or (b)  the Company and the Applicable Limited Partner agree to the use of other procedures and methodologies.

6.3 Cooperation. The Applicable Limited Partner shall (a) furnish to the Company in a timely manner such information, documents and other materials, or make such representations, as the Company may reasonably request for purposes of making any determination or computation necessary or appropriate under this Agreement, preparing any Tax Return or contesting or defending any audit, examination or controversy with any Taxing Authority, (b) make itself available to the Company and its representatives to provide explanations of documents and materials and such other information as the Company or its representatives may reasonably request in connection with any of the matters described in clause (a) above, and (c) reasonably cooperate in connection with any such matter described in clause (a) above.

The consideration deemed to be received by such entity shall be equal to the fair market value of the contributed asset, plus (i) the amount of debt to which such asset is subject, in the case of a contribution of an encumbered asset or (ii) the amount of debt allocated to such asset, in the case of a contribution of a partnership interest.

21

(b) If a Limited Partner or assignee commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of Section 7.12(a), the Company shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of Section 7.12(a) specifically enforced by injunctive relief or otherwise by any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post any bond or other security, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the other Limited Partners and the accounts and funds managed by the Company and that money damages alone shall not provide an adequate remedy to such Persons.
