(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 Regulations thereunder, then the method by which Capital Accounts are maintained shall 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 accordance with Section 3.1; plus (ii) the portion of any Net Profit, income, or gain allocated to such Partner's Capital Account pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 16. (e) Each Partner's Capital Account shall be reduced by the sum of (without duplication): (i) the portion of any Net Loss, loss, or expense allocated to such Partner's Capital Account pursuant to Sections 3.4 and L6; plus (ii) the amount of any cash and the net value of any property distributed to such Partner pursuant to Section 4.1 including any amount deducted pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 5.4 from any such amount distributed; plus (iii) any withholding taxes or other items payable by the Partnership, to the extent the General Partner reasonably determines that, pursuant to Section 4.2 Section 5.4 or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, such item is to be charged to such Partner's Capital Account on a basis which is not in accordance with the current respective Sharing 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 Partner's Capital Account in an amount equal to the product of (w) the net value of any securities or other property (excluding cash) constituting contributions by such Partner to 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 taken or omitted. Each Partner is fully aware that each other Partner will rely on the effectiveness of this special power-of-attorney with a view to the orderly administration NV1:169218510 22 EFTA00615470 of the affairs of the Partnership. This power-of-attorney is a special power-of-attorney and is coupled with an interest in favor of the General Partner and as such: (i) shall be irrevocable and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the subsequent death or incapacity of any Person granting this power-of-attorney, regardless of whether the Partnership or the General Partner shall have had notice thereof; and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by a Limited Partner of the whole or any portion of his interest in the Partnership, except that, where the assignee thereof has been approved by the General Partner for admission to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner, this power-of-attorney given by the assignor shall survive the delivery of such assignment for the sole purpose of enabling the General Partner to execute, acknowledge and file any instrument necessary to effect such substitution. Section 8.3 Notices Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be made in accordance with the notice provisions of the Agreement Among Principals. Section 8.4 Agreement Binding Upon Successors and Assigns This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors by operation of law, but the rights and obligations of the Partners hereunder shall not be assignable, transferable or delegable except as expressly provided herein, and any attempted assignment, transfer or delegation thereof that is not made in accordance with such express provisions shall be void and unenforceable. Section 8.5 Governing Law This Agreement, and the rights of the Partners hereunder, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands, without regard to the conflict of laws rules thereof. The parties hereby consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any action arising out of this Agreement in the courts of the Cayman Islands. Section 8.6 Termination of Right of Action Every right of action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement by or on behalf of any past, present or future Partner or the Partnership against any past, present or future Partner shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of the place where the action may be brought and irrespective of the residence of any such Partner, cease and be barred by the expiration of three years from the date of the act or omission in respect of which such right of action arises. Section 8.7 Not for Benefit of Creditors The provisions of this Agreement are intended only for the regulation of relations among Partners and between Partners and former or prospective Partners and the Partnership. Except as NYI:1692185.10 23 EFTA00615471 otherwise set forth in Section 5.6(4 this Agreement is not intended for the benefit of any Person who is not a Partner, and no rights are intended to be granted to any other Person who is not a Partner under this Agreement. Section 8.8 Consents Any and all consents, agreements or approvals provided for or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and a signed copy thereof shall be filed and kept with the books of the Partnership. Section 8.9 Reports As soon as practicable after the end of each taxable year, the General Partner shall furnish to each Limited Partner such information as may be required to enable each Limited Partner to report properly for United States federal and state income tax purposes his distributive share of each Partnership item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit for such year. Section 8.10 Filings The Partners hereby agree to take any measures necessary (or, if applicable, refrain from any action) to ensure that the Partnership is treated as a partnership for federal, state and local income tax purposes. Section 8.11 Arbitration The Partners agree that any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether based on contract, tort, statute or other legal or equitable theory (including without limitation, any claim of fraud, intentional misconduct, misrepresentation or fraudulent inducement or any question of validity or effect of this Agreement including this clause) or the breach or termination hereof shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of the Agreement Among Principals. Section 8.12 Headings, Gender, Etc.
