legal counsel, may from time to time be required by the laws of the Cayman Islands or any other

accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(bX2)(iv).
(b) If, in the opinion of the General Partner, the manner in which Capital
Accounts are to be maintained pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement should be
modified in order to comply with Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury

be so modified; provided, however, that any such change shall be done so as to minimize,
to the extent possible, any differences in amounts that would otherwise be distributable to
a Partner.
(c) Each Partner's Capital Account shall have an initial balance equal to the
amount of cash and the value of any securities or other property constituting such
Partner's initial contribution to the capital of the Partnership, as such contribution is set
forth on the Schedule of Partners.
(d)
Each Partner's Capital Account shall be increased by the sum of:
(i)
the amount of cash and the net value of any securities or other property
constituting additional contributions by such Partner to the capital of the Partnership in

(ii)
the portion of any Net Profit, income, or gain allocated to such Partner's

Percentage of all Partners.
(f)
Upon a Partner's forfeiture of a portion of his Pecuniary Interest in AOG
Units pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Agreement Among Principals, (i) a portion of such

NYI:1692185.10
10
EFTA00615458
the capital of the Partnership in accordance with Section 3.1 and Section 3.3(d)(i) and (x)
a fraction, the numerator of which is such Partner's Sharing Percentage immediately after
giving effect to such forfeiture and denominator of which is such Partner's Sharing
Percentage immediately prior to giving effect to such forfeiture, will be forfeited,
reducing such Partner's Capital Account by such amount and will increase the Capital
Account of the Persons who are entitled to receive the forfeiture pursuant to Section 4.1
of the Agreement Among Principals, pro-rata in accordance with their respective Sharing
Percentages and (ii) all credits and debits to the Capital Account of such Partner shall,
from the date of termination of such Partner until the applicable Forfeiture Date (as
defined in the Agreement Among Principals), be computed on a pro-fonna basis
assuming the Sharing Percentage of such forfeiting Partner had been adjusted on the date
of termination to give effect to the forfeiture to occur on the Forfeiture Date. Amounts
that would, but for clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, be debited or credited to the
Capital Account of such Partner shall, on the applicable Forfeiture Date, be debited or
credited to the Capital Account of the Persons who are entitled to receive the forfeiture
pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Agreement Among Principals, pro-rata in accordance with
their respective Sharing Percentages. In addition, to the extent that the Partnership
receives an increased capital account in Intermediate Holdings as a result of a forfeiture
of interests by a partner in such partnership, such increase in the Capital Accounts will be
allocated among the Partners pro rata based on their respective Sharing Percentages at the
effective time of the forfeiture. Within twelve (12) months of a Forfeiture Date, the
forfeiting Partner shall receive a distribution in respect of all cash contributions actually
made to the Partnership (if any) in an amount equal to the product of (y) the amount of
such cash contributions and (z) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Sharing
Percentage forfeited by such Partner, and the denominator of which is such Partner's
Sharing Percentage immediately prior to giving effect to such forfeiture.
Section 3.4
Allocation of Profits and Losses
(a) All items of income, gain, loss, and expense for any Accounting Period,
attributable to allocations of those items by Fund IV and Fund V on account of Heritage
Points shall be allocated among the Partners pursuant to their respective Heritage Points
Percentages as of the first day of that Accounting Period.
(b) All items of income, gain, loss and expense attributable to a Non-Pro Rata
Exchange, including any gain or loss realized with respect to an In-Kind Exchange
Distribution shall be allocated to the Partner who directed such Non-Pro Rata Exchange.
(c) Net Profit or Net Loss for an Accounting Period shall be allocated among the
Partners in the ratio of their Sharing Percentages as of the first day of that Accounting
Period.
Section 3.5
Tax Allocations
(a) For United States federal, state and local income tax purposes, Partnership
income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or any item thereof) for each Accounting Period
NYI:1692185.10
11
EFTA00615459
shall be allocated to and among the Partners in order to reflect the allocations of Net
Profit and Net Loss and other items of income, gain, loss and expenses pursuant to the
provisions of Section 3.4 for such Accounting Period, taking into account any variation
between the adjusted tax basis and book value of Partnership property in accordance with
the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code. The parties hereto agree that any Non-Pro
Rata Exchange shall be treated as a sale of those interests contributed by the Partner who
directed such exchange, and any taxable gain or loss related thereto shall be allocated
solely to such Partner. In addition, the distribution of AOG Units made pursuant to an In-
Kind Exchange Distribution shall be treated as a distribution of an undivided interest in
the Partnership's assets as described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-4(cX6) and
1.737-2(dX4).
(b) If any Partner or Partners are treated for United States federal income tax
purposes as realizing ordinary income because of receiving interests in the Partnership
(whether under Section 83 of the Code or under any similar provision of any law, rule or
regulation) and the Partnership is entitled to any offsetting deduction (net of any income
realized by the Partnership as a result of such receipt), the Partnership's net deduction
shall be allocated to and among the Partners in such manner as to offset, as nearly as
possible, the ordinary income realized by such Partner or Partners.
Section 3.6
Special Allocations.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3 to the contrary:
(a)
Losses attributable to partner nonrecourse debt (as defined
in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(bX4)) shall be allocated in the manner required
by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If there is a net decrease during a Accounting
Period in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as determined in accordance with
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(3)), Partnership income and gain for such
Accounting Period (and, if necessary, for subsequent Accounting Periods) shall be
allocated to the Partners in the amounts and of such character as determined according to
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(iX4).
(b)
Nonrecourse deductions (as determined according to
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(bX1)) for any Accounting Period shall be allocated
to the Partners in the same proportions in which capital contributions have been made. If
there is a net decrease in the minimum gain during any Accounting Period, each Partner
shall be allocated Partnership income and gain for such Accounting Period (and, if
necessary, for subsequent Accounting Periods) in the amounts and of such character as
determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 3.6(b) is
intended to be a "minimum gain chargeback" provision that complies with the
requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(0, and shall be interpreted in a
manner consistent therewith.
(c)
If any Partner that unexpectedly receives an adjustment,
allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-
NYI:1692185.10
12
EFTA00615460
1(bX2XiiXdX4), (5) or (6) has an Capital Account deficit as of the end of any Accounting
Period, computed after the application of Sections 3.6(a) and 3.6(b) but before the
application of any other allocation provision of this Agreement, then Partnership income
and gain for such Accounting Period shall be allocated to such Partner in proportion to,
and to the extent of, such Capital Account deficit. This Section 3.6(c) is intended to be a
"qualified income offset" provision as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-
1(b)(2XiiXd) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.
(d)
In no event shall Net Losses be allocated to a Partner if
such allocation would cause or increase a deficit in such Partner's adjusted Capital
Account balance. Any such Net Losses shall be allocated to the other Partners in
proportion to their Ownership Percentages. Income and gain shall be first allocated to
those Partners who have received allocations of Net Loss pursuant to this provision, in
order to reverse such allocations.
(e)
The allocations set forth in Sections 3.6(a) through 3.6(d)
(the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of
Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the Treasury Regulations.
The Regulatory
Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Partners intend to
allocate Net Profits and Net Losses of the Partnership or make distributions from the
Partnership. Accordingly, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, but
subject to the Regulatory Allocations, income, gain, deduction, and loss shall be
reallocated among the Partners so as to eliminate the effect of the Regulatory Allocations
and thereby cause the respective Capital Accounts of the Partners to be in the amounts (or
as close thereto as possible) they would have been if Net Profit and Net Loss (and such
other items of income, gain, deduction and loss) had been allocated without reference to
the Regulatory Allocations.
In general, the Partners anticipate that this will be
accomplished by specially allocating other Net Profit and Net Loss (and such other items
of income, gain, deduction and loss) among the Partners so that the net amount of the
Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each such Partner is zero.
ARTICLE 4
DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 4.1
Distributions
(a)
The Partnership shall establish and maintain a ledger account on behalf of
each Partner (each a "Distribution Account'), in each case, in accordance with this
Section 4.1. Distribution Accounts shall be adjusted as provided in the Agreement
Among Principals.
(b)
Subject to the retention of cash reserves to account for reasonably
anticipated expenses and other liabilities as the General Partner may determine to be
appropriate, the Partnership shall make distributions to the Partners promptly upon receipt
of any cash distributions from the Apollo Operating Group or Intermediate Holdings.
Such distributions shall be made in cash, without interest.
NY1:1692185.10
13
EFTA00615461
(c)
The net proceeds (including any payments received by Holdings pursuant
to the Tax Receivable Agreement) of any (i) Pro Rata Exchange shall be distributed to the
Partners in accordance with their respective Sharing Percentages, (ii) Non-Pro Rata
Exchange shall be distributed entirely to the Partner(s) that directed such Non-Pro Rata
Exchange, (iii) other distribution to the Partnership which has properly been reflected in
the Distribution Account pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be distributed to the Partners
in proportion to (and not in excess of) any credit balance in their respective Distribution
Accounts and (iv) other distribution (other than a distribution of Heritage Points) shall be
distributed to the Principal Groups in accordance with their respective Sharing
Percentages (it being understood that any expenses incurred in connection with any sale
shall be borne by the Principals directing such sale in proportion to the number of AOG
Units being sold by such Principals). In the event that the Partnership distributes the
partnership interests represented by the Heritage Points to the Partners, it shall distribute
such partnership interests in accordance with Heritage Points Percentages. If, pursuant to
Section 3.03 of the Tax Receivable Agreement, there is a prorated payment made, in any
year, to the Partnership (either directly or indirectly through Intermediate Holdings), then
the Partners will receive portions of such reduced payment, pro rata, based upon the
relative Basis Adjustments (as such term is used in the Tax Receivable Agreement)
attributable to each of the Partners by reason of their participation in the relevant
Exchanges.
Section 4.2
Withholding of Certain Amounts
(a) If the Partnership incurs a withholding tax or other tax obligation with respect
to the share of Partnership income allocable to any Partner, then the General Partner,
without limitation of any other rights of the Partnership, may cause the amount of such
obligation to be debited against the Capital Account of such Partner when the Partnership
pays such obligation, and any amounts then or thereafter distributable to such Partner
shall be reduced by the amount of such taxes. If the amount of such taxes is greater than
any such then distributable amounts, then such Partner and any successor to such
Partner's interest shall indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership and the General
Partner against, and shall pay to the Partnership as a contribution to the capital of the
Partnership, upon demand of the General Partner, the amount of such excess.
(b) The General Partner may withhold from any distribution to any Limited
Partner pursuant to this Agreement any other amounts due from such Limited Partner to
the Partnership or the General Partner pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not
otherwise paid. My amounts so withheld shall be applied by the General Partner to
discharge the obligation in respect of which such amounts were withheld and shall, for
purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to have been distributed to the limited Partner
with respect to whom such amounts were withheld.
Section 4.3
Limitation on Distributions
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
Partnership, and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, shall not make a distribution to
NYI:1692185.10
14
EFTA00615462
any Partner on account of his interest in the Partnership if such distribution would violate the Act
or other applicable law.
ARTICLE 5
MANAGEMENT
Section 5.1
Governance; Exchanges
(a) The General Partner shall have the right and power to manage and administer
the business and affairs of the Partnership• provided, however, that the General Partner
shall be governed in accordance with the Agreement Among Principals. The Partnership
shall comply with the provisions of the Agreement Among Principals applicable to it,
including, without limitation, the rights of any Principal set forth in Section 2.4 of the
Agreement Among Principals to cause the Partnership to effect an Exchange and register
and transfer Class A Shares (each Partner acknowledges that one or more events, such as
an underwriter cutback, the unavailability of a registration, the possession of material
non-public information, or general market dislocation may affect the timing of a proposed
sale or disposition of Class A Shares following an exchange, and accordingly, any Person
that receives Class A Shares shall sell or dispose of such shares as promptly as practicable
upon receipt thereof, taking into account the circumstances surrounding such proposed
sale or disposition).
(b) The General Partner, or a Limited Partner designated by the General Partner,
shall be the tax matters partner for purposes of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code. Each
Partner agrees not to treat, on his United States federal income tax return or in any claim
for a refund, any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit in a manner inconsistent
with the treatment of such item by the Partnership. The General Partner shall have the
exclusive authority to make any elections required or permitted to be made by the
Partnership under any provisions of the Code or any other revenue laws.
Section 5.2
Delegation of Duties
(a) Subject to Section 5 1 the General Partner may delegate to any Person or
Persons any of the duties, powers and authority vested in it hereunder on such terms and
conditions as it may consider appropriate.
(b)
Any Person to whom the General Partner delegates any of its duties
pursuant to this Section 5.2 or any other provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to
the same rights of indemnification and exoneration applicable to the General Partner
under and pursuant to Section 5.6, unless such Person and the General Partner mutually
agree to a different right to indemnification and exoneration to which such Person shall
be subject.
Section 5.3
Transactions with Affiliates
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the General Partner (or any Affiliate of
the General Partner), when acting on behalf of the Partnership, is hereby authorized to (a)
NYI:16921O.10
15
EFTA00615463
purchase property from, sell property to, lend money to or otherwise deal with any Affiliates, any
Limited Partner or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons and (b) obtain services from any
Affiliates, any Limited Partner or any Affiliate of the foregoing Persons or of the Partnership.
Section 5.4
Expenses
(a) The Partnership will pay, or will reimburse the General Partner for, all costs
and expenses arising in connection with the organization and operations of the
Partnership. Such expenses shall be charged to the Distribution Accounts as provided in
the Agreement Among Principals.
(b) My withholding taxes payable by the Partnership, to the extent determined by
the General Partner to have been paid or withheld on behalf of, or by reason of particular
circumstances applicable to, one or more but fewer than all of the Partners, shall be
allocated among and debited against the Capital Accounts and Distribution Accounts to
the same extent as if the amount withheld had been distributed to only those Partners on
whose behalf such payments are made or whose particular circumstances gave rise to
such payments in accordance with Section 4.2.
Section 5.5
Rights of Limited Partners
(a) The Limited Partners, in their capacities as Limited Partners, shall have no
right to take part in the conduct of the business of the Partnership nor in the management
or control of the Partnership's business, nor shall they have any right or authority to act
for the Partnership or to vote on matters other than as set forth in this Agreement, the
Agreement Among Principals or as required by applicable law.
(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall entitle any Partner to any compensation for
services rendered to or on behalf of the Partnership as an agent or in any other capacity,
except for any amounts payable in accordance with this Agreement or the Agreement
Among Principals.
Section 5.6
Indemnification
(a)
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Partners
(including the General Partner) and officers of the Partnership (and their respective heirs
and legal representatives) (each, an "Indemnitee") will be held harmless and be
indemnified by the Partnership for all Losses suffered by virtue of any acts or omissions
or alleged acts or omissions arising out of such Indemnitee's activities in connection with
the establishment, management or operations of any Covered Business, unless such
Losses were determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have been caused by the Indemnitee's Disqualifying Conduct; provided,
however, that the Partners shall use their respective best efforts to cause the applicable
Fund(s), Apollo or Apollo's Subsidiaries to provide indemnification to each Indemnitee
and the indemnity provided by this Section 5.6 shall only apply once all other sources of
indemnification have been exhausted. The General Partner may designate in writing
NY1:1692185.10
16
EFTA00615464
additional Persons as Indemnitees hereunder. Any Person entitled to indemnification
from the Partnership hereunder shall first seek recovery under any other indemnity or any
insurance policies by which such Person is indemnified or covered, as the case may be,
but only to the extent that the indemnitor with respect to such indemnity or the insurer
with respect to such insurance policy provides (or acknowledges its obligation to provide)
such indemnity or coverage on a timely basis, as the case may be. An Indemnitee shall
obtain the written consent of the General Partner (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) prior to entering into any compromise or settlement
which would result in an obligation of the Partnership to indemnify such Person. The
General Partner may have the Partnership purchase, at the Partnership's expense,
insurance to insure the Partnership, any other Indemnitee or any other Person against
liability in connection with the activities of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries.
(b)
Losses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any Claim subject to
Section 5.6611 shall, upon delivery by the Indemnitee of a written invoice specifying the
Losses incurred by the Indemnitee, be advanced by the Partnership prior to the final
disposition of such Claim at times and in a manner to pay any Losses reflected on such
invoice; provided, that such Indemnitee shall provide to the Partnership a written
undertaking to repay such advances if there is a final determination that such Indemnitee
was not entitled to indemnification.
(c)
Any indemnification provided pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall be
satisfied solely out of the assets of the Partnership, as an expense of the Partnership, and
no Partner shall be subject to personal liability by reason of the indemnification
provisions set forth in this Section 5.6. Any right to indemnification under this Section
5.6 shall survive the termination or dissolution of the Partnership, and in any such event
the General Partner shall set aside in reserve assets in an amount reasonably determined
by the General Partner so as to reasonably provide for Claims arising under this Section
L¢.
(d)
The rights set forth in this Section 5.6 are for the benefit of the
Indemnitees and shall not be deemed to create any other rights for the benefit of any other
Person.
The rights of Indemnitees under this Section 5.6 shall continue after the
termination of the Indemnitee's relationship with the Partnership with respect to those
acts performed or not performed prior to such date of termination. The right of any
Indemnitee to the indemnification provided herein shall be cumulative of, and in addition
to, any and all rights to which such Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled by contract or
as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Indemnitee's successors and legal
representatives.
(e)
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Indemnitee shall be
liable to the Partnership or to a Partner for any Losses sustained or incurred as a result of
any act or omission of such Indemnitee if (i) the act or failure to act of such Indemnitee
was in good faith, and (ii) the conduct of such Indemnitee did not constitute Disqualifying
Conduct. No Indemnitee shall, to the fullest extent allowed by law, be liable to any
Partner or the Partnership for any Loss due to the mistake, action, inaction, negligence,
NYI:1692185.10
17
EFTA00615465
dishonesty, fraud or bad faith of any broker or other agent; provided, that such broker or
other agent, if selected or engaged or monitored by such Indemnitee, shall have been
selected, engaged or retained or monitored by such Indemnitee with reasonable care. An
Indemnitee may consult with reputable legal counsel, accountants, consultants or other
advisors in respect of the affairs of the Partnership, Apollo, the Apollo Operating Group,
the Funds, the Portfolio Companies and each of their respective Subsidiaries, and, except
in respect of matters in which there is an alleged conflict of interest in respect of such
legal counsel, accountants, consultants or other advisors, shall be fully protected and
justified in any action or inaction which is taken or omitted in good faith, in reliance upon
and in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel, accountants, consultants or
other advisors. In determining whether an Indemnitee acted in good faith and with the
requisite degree of care, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to rely on reports and written
statements of the directors, officers, employees, and other representatives of a Portfolio
Company unless the Person to be exculpated hereby had reason to believe that such
reports or statements were not true and complete. For the purposes of this Section 5.6(e),
the directors, officers, employees, and other representatives of a Portfolio Company (and
such Portfolio Company itself) shall not, solely by virtue of a Fund holding an Investment
in such Portfolio Company, be deemed to be Affiliates of the Indemnitee.
(f)
All references in this Section 5.6 to any Partner of the Partnership shall be
deemed for all purposes to include (i) in the case of any Partner which is a corporation,
the directors, officers, employees and shareholders of such corporation, (ii) in the case of
any Partner which is a trust, the trustees and beneficiaries of such trust, and (iii) in the
case of any Partner which is a partnership or limited liability company, the partners,
managers or members (as applicable), employees and officers of such entity.
(g)
It is the express intention of the parties hereto that the provisions of this
Section 5.6 for the indemnification of Indemnitees who are not Partners may be relied
upon by such Indemnitees and may be enforced by such Indemnitees against the
Partnership as if such Indemnitees were parties hereto.
(h)
To the extent that the General Partner, any other Partner or the officers,
principals, managers, employees, partners, members, agents, attorneys, registered
representatives and other Affiliates of the Partnership or any Partner (each, a
"Responsible Party") has, under applicable law or in equity, duties (including fiduciary
duties) to the Partnership, any Partner or other Person bound by the terms of this
Agreement, such Responsible Parties acting in accordance with this Agreement shall not
be liable to the Partnership, any Partner or any such other Person for its good faith
reliance on the terms of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent
that they restrict the duties of a Responsible Party otherwise existing under applicable law
or in equity, are agreed by all parties hereto to replace such other duties to the greatest
extent permitted under applicable law.
(i)
Whenever a Responsible Party is required or permitted to make a decision,
take or approve an action, or omit to do any of the foregoing: (a) in his discretion, under
a similar grant of authority or latitude, or without an express standard of behavior
NY11:1692185.10
18
EFTA00615466
(including, without limitation, standards such as "reasonable" or "good faith"), then such
Responsible Party shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors, including
its own, as it desires, and shall have no duty or obligation to consider any other interests
or factors whatsoever, or (b) with an express standard of behavior (including, without
limitation, standards such as "reasonable" or "good faith"), then such Responsible Party
shall comply with such express standard but shall not be subject to any other, different, or
additional standard imposed by applicable law.
ARTICLE 6
ADMISSIONS, TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS
Section 6.1
Admission of Additional Limited Partners
Admission of additional Limited Partners shall be governed by the Agreement Among
Principals.
Section 6.2
Transfer of Interests of Limited Partners
(a) Transfers of ownership interests of the Partnership of the Limited Partners
shall be governed by the Agreement Among Principals, which, under certain
circumstances, requires that Transfers be made without consideration.
Any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any successor or transferee of any Limited Partner's interest in the
Partnership shall be bound by the provisions hereof and the provisions of the Agreement
Among Principals. Prior to recognizing any Transfer in accordance with this Section 6.2,
the General Partner may require the transferee to (i) make certain representations and
warranties to the Partnership and Partners reasonably necessary to confirm the legality of
the Transfer and that the transferee is a permitted transferee and (ii) accept, adopt and
approve in writing all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
(b) A Limited Partner requesting approval of a Transfer, or his legal
representative, shall give the General Partner notice before the proposed effective date of
any voluntary Transfer and within 30 days after any involuntary Transfer, and shall
provide sufficient information to allow legal counsel acting for the Partnership to make
the determination that the proposed Transfer will not result in any of the following
consequences:
(i)
require registration of the Partnership or any interest therein under any
securities or commodities laws of any jurisdiction;
(ii)
result in a termination of the Partnership under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the
Code or jeopardize the status of the Partnership as a partnership for United States federal income
tax purposes; or
(iii)
violate, or cause the Partnership, the General Partner or any Limited
Partner to violate, any applicable law, rule or regulation of any jurisdiction.
NYI:1692185.10
19
EFTA00615467
Such notice must be supported by proof of legal authority and a valid instrument of assignment
acceptable to the General Partner.
(c) A permitted transferee shall be entitled to the allocations and distributions
attributable to the interest in the Partnership transferred to such transferee and to Transfer
such interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that
such transferee shall not be entitled to the other rights of a Limited Partner as a result of
such transfer until he becomes a substituted Limited Partner. No transferee may become
a substituted Limited Partner except with the prior written consent of the General Partner
(which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner). Such transferee shall
be admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner upon execution of a
counterpart of this Agreement or such other instrument evidencing, to the satisfaction of
the General Partner, such Limited Partner's intent to become a Limited Partner.
Notwithstanding the above, the Partnership and the General Partner shall incur no liability
for allocations and distributions made in good faith to the transferring Limited Partner
until a written instrument of Transfer has been received and accepted by the Partnership
and recorded on its books and the effective date of the Transfer has passed.
(d) In the event of a Transfer or in the event of a distribution of assets of the
Partnership to any Partner, the Partnership, at the direction of any Partner shall be
required to file an election under Section 754 of the Code and in accordance with the
applicable Treasury Regulations, to cause the basis of the Partnership's assets to be
adjusted as provided by Section 734 or 743 of the Code.
(e) The Partnership shall maintain books for the purpose of registering the
transfer of partnership interests in the Partnership. No transfer of a partnership interest
shall be effective until the transfer of the partnership interest is registered upon books
maintained for that purpose by or on behalf of the Partnership.
Section 6.3
Withdrawal of Partners
A Partner in the Partnership may not withdraw from the Partnership prior to its
dissolution. For the avoidance of doubt, any Limited Partner who transfers to a transferee such
Limited Partner's entire remaining entitlement to allocations and distributions in accordance with
the Agreement Among Principals shall remain a Limited Partner, notwithstanding the admission
of the transferee as a Limited Partner, for as long as the transferee remains a Limited Partner.
ARTICLE 7
DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION
Section 7.1
Dissolution and Liquidation of Partnership
(a) Upon dissolution of the Partnership in accordance with the Act, the General
Partner shall liquidate the business and administrative affairs of the Partnership, except
that, if the General Partnet is unable to perform this function, a liquidator may be selected
by the Limited Partners representing a majority of the Sharing Percentages of the
NYI:1692185.I0
20
EFTA00615468
Partnership and upon such election such liquidator shall liquidate the Partnership. Net
Profit and Net Loss during the Fiscal Years that include the period of liquidation shall be
allocated pursuant to Section 3.4. The proceeds from liquidation shall be distributed in
the following manner:
(i)
first, the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership including the
expenses of liquidation (including legal and accounting expenses incurred in connection
therewith), up to and including the date that distribution of the Partnership's assets to the
Partners has been completed, shall be satisfied (whether by payment or by making reasonable
provision for payment thereof); and
(ii)
thereafter, the Partners shall be paid pursuant to the provisions of Section
4.1 hereof.
(b) Anything in this Section 7.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, if, the
Partnership holds any Heritage Points at the time of dissolution, the General Partner or
liquidator shall distribute ratably in kind, upon dissolution, such Heritage Points to the
Partners based on their then-current Heritage Points Percentages.
Subject to the
foregoing sentence, but notwithstanding any else in this Section 7.1 to the contrary, the
General Partner or liquidator may distribute ratably in kind rather than in cash, upon
dissolution, any assets of the Partnership in accordance with the priorities set forth in
Section 7.l(aI; provided, however, that if any in kind distribution is to be made (i) the
assets distributed in kind shall be valued as of the actual date of their distribution and
charged as so valued and distributed against amounts to be paid under Section 7.1(a) and
(ii) any gain or loss (as computed for book purposes) attributable to property distributed
in kind shall be included in the Net Profit or Net Loss (as determined to be appropriate by
the General Partner) for the Fiscal Year which includes the date of such distribution.
ARTICLE 8
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 8.1
Amendment of Partnership Agreement
This Agreement may be amended and the terms and conditions of the Agreement may be
changed or modified at any time upon the approval, in writing, by the following Persons (or their
legal representative, if applicable): (i) the General Partner, (ii) Partners holding a majority of the
Sharing Percentages held by all Partners who are part of Leon Black's Group, (iii) Partners
holding a majority of the Sharing Percentages held by all Partners who are part of Marc Rowan's
Group and (iv) Partners holding a majority of the Sharing Percentages held by all Partners who
are part of Joshua Harris' Group. If there is not a Safe Harbor when an Interest in the Partnership
is Transferred to a service provider, the Partnership and each of its Partners will treat each
Interest in the Partnership Transferred in connection with the performance of services as having a
fair market value equal to the liquidation value (as that term is defined in Notice 2005-43) of that
Interest. If there is a Safe Harbor when an Interest in the Partnership is Transferred to a service
provider: (i) the Partnership is authorized and directed to elect the Safe Harbor, (ii) the
Partnership and each of the Partners (including any Person to whom an Interest in the Partnership
NYIA692185.10
21
EFTA00615469
is Transferred in connection with the performance of services) agree to comply with all
requirements of the Safe Harbor while the Safe Harbor election remains effective, and (iii) the
Partnership and each Partner (including any Person to whom an Interest in the Partnership is
Transferred in connection with the performance of services) agree to report the income tax
effects of the Transfer of an Interest in the Partnership to a service provider in a manner
consistent with the Requirements of the Safe Harbor.
Section 8.2
Special Power-of-Attorney
(a) Each Partner hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the General
Partner with full power of substitution, the true and lawful representative and attorney-in-
fact, and in the name, place and stead of such Partner, with the power from time to time
to make, execute, sign, acknowledge, swear to, verify, deliver, record, file and/or publish:
(i)
any amendment to this Agreement which complies with the provisions of
this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 8.1);
(ii)
all such other instruments, documents and certificates which, in the
opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership, may from time to time be required by the laws of the
Cayman Islands or any other jurisdiction, or any political subdivision or agency thereof, or which
such legal counsel may deem necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement and continue the
valid and subsisting existence and business of the Partnership as an exempted limited
partnership; and
(iii)
any written notice or letter of resignation from any board seat or office of
any Person (other than a company that has a class of equity securities registered under the United
States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or that is registered under the United States
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), which board seat or office was occupied or held
at the request of the Partnership or any of its Affiliates; and
(iv)
all such proxies, consents, assignments and other documents as the
General Partner determines to be necessary or advisable in connection with any merger or other
reorganization, restructuring or other similar transaction entered into in accordance with this
Agreement.
(b) Each Limited Partner is aware that the terms of this Agreement permit certain
amendments to this Agreement to be effected and certain other actions to be taken or
omitted by or with respect to the Partnership without his consent. If an amendment of the
Certificate or this Agreement or any action by or with respect to the Partnership is taken
by the General Partner in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, each Limited
Partner agrees that, notwithstanding any objection which such Limited Partner may assert
with respect to such action, the General Partner is authorized and empowered, with full
power of substitution, to exercise the authority granted above in any manner which may
be necessary or appropriate to permit such amendment to be made or action lawfully
