DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 4.01    Distributions.
(a)    Subject to Section 4.04 and Article XI, with respect to any distribution to be made to holders of Ordinary Shares, the amount to be distributed with respect to each Ordinary Share shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the total amount to be distributed with respect to all such Ordinary Shares divided by the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding as of the distribution record date.  Subject to Article XI, all other distributions of Distributable Cash shall be made, at the discretion of the Board, to the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
(b)    Tax Distributions.
(i)    Subject to Section 4.04 and Article XI, in addition to the foregoing, if the Board reasonably determines that the taxable income of the Company for a Fiscal Year will give rise to taxable income for the Members (“Net Taxable Income”), the Board shall cause the Company to distribute Distributable Cash in respect of income tax liabilities (the “Tax Distributions”) to the extent that other distributions made by the Company for such year were otherwise insufficient to cover such tax liabilities, provided that distributions pursuant to Section 4.02 and allocations pursuant to Section 5.04 related to such distributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of this Section 4.01(b).  The Tax Distributions payable with respect to any Fiscal Year shall be computed based upon the Board’s estimate of the allocable Net Taxable Income in accordance with Article V, multiplied by the Assumed Tax Rate (the “Tax Amount”).  For purposes of computing the Tax Amount, the effect of any benefit under Section 743(b) of the Code will be ignored.  Any Tax Distributions shall be made to all Members, whether or not they are subject to such applicable United States federal, state and local taxes, pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interest.
(ii)    Tax Distributions shall be calculated and paid no later than one day prior to each quarterly due date for the payment by corporations on a calendar year of estimated taxes under the Code in the following manner (A) for the first quarterly period, 25% of the Tax Amount, (B) for the second quarterly period, 50% of the Tax Amount, less the prior Tax Distributions for the Fiscal Year, (C) for the third quarterly period, 75% of the Tax Amount, less the prior Tax Distributions for the Fiscal Year and (D) for the fourth quarterly period, 100% of the Tax Amount, less the prior Tax Distributions for the Fiscal Year.  Following each Fiscal Year, and no later than one day prior to the due date for the payment by corporations of income taxes for such Fiscal Year, the Board shall make an amended calculation of the Tax Amount for such Fiscal Year (the “Amended Tax Amount”), and shall cause the Company to distribute a Tax Distribution, out of Distributable Cash, to the extent that the Amended Tax Amount so calculated exceeds the cumulative Tax Distributions previously made by the Company in respect of such Fiscal Year.  If the Amended Tax Amount is less than the cumulative Tax Distributions previously made by the Company in respect of the relevant Fiscal Year, then the difference (the “Credit Amount”) shall be applied against, and shall reduce, the amount of Tax Distributions made for subsequent Fiscal Years.  Within 30 days following the date on which the Company files a tax return on Form 1065, the Board shall make a final calculation of the Tax Amount of such Fiscal Year (the “Final Tax Amount”) and shall cause the Company to distribute a Tax Distribution, out of Distributable Cash, to the extent that the Final Tax Amount so calculated exceeds the Amended Tax Amount.  If the Final Tax Amount is less than the Amended Tax Amount in respect of the relevant Fiscal Year, then the difference (“Additional Credit Amount”) shall be applied against, and shall reduce, the amount of Tax Distributions made for subsequent Fiscal Years.  Any Credit Amount and Additional Credit Amount applied against future Tax Distributions shall be treated as an amount actually distributed pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) for purposes of the computations herein.

Section 4.02    Liquidation Distribution.  Distributions made upon dissolution of the Company shall be made as provided in Section 9.03.

Section 4.03    Limitations on Distribution.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Board shall not make a Company distribution to any Member if such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable Law.

Section 4.04    Distributions on Series A Preferred Mirror Units.  No distributions shall be made with respect to the Series A Preferred Mirror Units except as permitted under Article XI.

TAX ALLOCATIONS; TAX MATTERS

The Members, other than APH X GP, have made, on or prior to the date hereof, Capital Contributions and have acquired the number of Ordinary Shares and/or Series A Preferred Mirror Units as specified in the books and records of the Company.  As a Voting Member, APH X GP has no obligation to make any Capital Contribution.

Section 5.02    No Additional Capital Contributions.  Except as otherwise provided in this Article V, no Member shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to the Company without the consent of such Member or permitted to make additional Capital Contributions to the Company without the consent of the Board.

Section 5.03    Capital Accounts.  A separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) shall be established and maintained for each Member, other than a Person who holds no Units other than Voting Shares, in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).  The Capital Account of each Member shall be credited with such Member’s Capital Contributions, if any, all Profits allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 5.04 and any items of income or gain which are specially allocated pursuant to Section 5.05; and shall be debited with all Losses allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 5.04, any items of loss or deduction of the Company specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 5.05, and all cash and the Carrying Value of any property (net of liabilities assumed by such Member and the liabilities to which such property is subject) distributed by the Company to such Member.  Any references in any section of this Agreement to the Capital Account of a Member shall be deemed to refer to such Capital Account as the same may be credited or debited from time to time as set forth above.  In the event of any transfer of any interest in the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred interest.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Voting Member shall not be entitled to any allocations or distributions from the Company.  The Capital Account balance of each holder of Series A Preferred Mirror Units with respect to each Series A Preferred Mirror Unit shall equal the Liquidation Preference per Series A Preferred Mirror Unit as of the date such Series A Preferred Mirror Unit is initially issued and shall be increased as set forth in Article XI.

Section 5.04    Allocations of Profits and Losses.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including Section 11.06), Profits and Losses (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain or loss or deduction of the Company) shall be allocated in respect of any Common Units held by a Member in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Member holding Common Units after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 5.05 is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to (i) the distributions that would be made pursuant to Article IV if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Carrying Value, all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each non-recourse liability to the Carrying Value of the assets securing such liability) and the net assets of the Company were distributed to the Members pursuant to this Agreement, minus (ii) such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall make such adjustments to Capital Accounts as it determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate to ensure allocations are made in accordance with a Member’s interest in the Company.

Section 5.05    Special Allocations.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article V:
(a)    Minimum Gain Chargeback.  If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain or Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined in accordance with the principles of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(d) and 1.704‐2(i)) during any Company taxable year, the Members holding Common Units shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to their respective shares of such net decrease during such year, determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5).  The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‐2(f).  This Section 5.05(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in such Treasury Regulations Sections and shall be interpreted consistently therewith; including that no chargeback shall be required to the extent of the exceptions provided in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4).
(b)    Qualified Income Offset.  If any Member holding Common Units unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the deficit balance in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account Balance created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as promptly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.05(b) shall be made only to the extent that a Member would have a deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.05(b) were not in this Agreement.  This Section 5.05(b) is intended to comply with the “qualified income offset” requirement of the Code and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(c)    Gross Income Allocation.  If any Member holding Common Units has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore, if any, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.05(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that a Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been tentatively made as if Section 5.05(b) and this Section 5.05(c) were not in this Agreement.
(d)    Nonrecourse Deductions.  Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
(e)    Member Nonrecourse Deductions.  Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the liability to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(j).
(f)    Creditable Foreign Taxes.  Creditable Foreign Taxes for any taxable period attributable to the Company, or an entity owned directly or indirectly by the Company, shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to the Members’ distributive shares of income (including income allocated pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code) to which the Creditable Foreign Tax relates (under principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.904-6).  The provisions of this Section (f) are intended to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(viii), and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(g)    Ameliorative Allocations.  Any special allocations of income or gain pursuant to Section 5.05(b) or (c) hereof shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations pursuant to Section 5.04 and this Section 5.05(g), so that the net amount of any items so allocated and all other items allocated to each Member shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member if such allocations pursuant to Section 5.05(b) or (c) had not occurred.

Section 5.06    Tax Allocations.  For income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as the corresponding items of Profits and Losses and specially allocated items, including items of Gross Ordinary Income allocated pursuant to Section 11.06, are allocated for Capital Account purposes; provided that in the case of any asset the Carrying Value of which differs from its adjusted tax basis for United States federal income tax purposes, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall be allocated solely for income tax purposes in accordance with the principles of Sections 704(b) and (c) of the Code (in any manner determined by the Board and permitted by the Code and Treasury Regulations) so as to take account of the difference between Carrying Value and adjusted basis of such asset.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall make such allocations for tax purposes as it determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate to ensure allocations are made in accordance with a Member’s interest in the Company.

Section 5.07    Tax Advances.  To the extent the Board reasonably believes that the Company is required by Law to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Member (including pursuant to section 6225 of the BBA Audit Rules) or the Company is subjected to tax itself by reason of the status of any Member (“Tax Advances”), the Board may withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as so required.  All Tax Advances made on behalf of a Member shall be repaid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Member or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Member.  For all purposes of this Agreement such Member shall be treated as having received the amount of the distribution that is equal to the Tax Advance.  If a Tax Advance is required to be made by the Company and the Board determines that such amount is allocable to the interest in the Company of a Person that is at such time a Member, such Tax Advance shall be treated as being made on behalf of or with respect to such Member for purposes of this Section 5.07 whether or not the tax in question applies to a taxable period of the Company during which such Member held an interest in the Company.  Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from and against any liability (including, without limitation, any liability for taxes, penalties, additions to tax or interest other than any penalties, additions to tax or interest imposed as a result of the Company’s failure to withhold or make a tax payment on behalf of such Member which withholding or payment is required pursuant to applicable Law but only to the extent amounts sufficient to pay such taxes were not timely distributed to the Member pursuant to Section 4.01(b)) with respect to income attributable to or distributions or other payments to such Member.  To the extent that any liability with respect to a Tax Advance relates to a former Member that has withdrawn, sold, assigned, pledged, mortgaged, charged, or otherwise transferred all or part of its interest in the Company, such former Member (which in the case of a partial withdrawal, sale, assignment, pledge, mortgage, charge or other transfer shall include a continuing Member with respect to the portion of its interest in the Company so withdrawn, sold, assigned, pledged, mortgaged, charged or transferred) shall indemnify the Company for its allocable portion of such liability.  Each Member acknowledges that, notwithstanding the withdrawal, sale, assignment, pledge, mortgage, charge, or other transfer of all or any portion of its interest in the Company, it may remain liable, pursuant to this Section 5.07, for tax liabilities with respect to its allocable share of income and gain of the Company for the Company’s taxable years (or portions thereof) prior to such withdrawal, sale, assignment, pledge, mortgage, charge, or other transfer, as applicable (including any such liabilities imposed under section 6225 of the BBA Audit Rules).

Section 5.08    Tax Matters.  With respect to all taxable years to which the TEFRA Audit Rules apply, the Tax Matters Member shall be permitted to take any and all actions under the TEFRA Audit Rules and shall have any powers necessary to perform fully in such capacity.  With respect to all taxable years to which the BBA Audit Rules apply, the Partnership Representative shall be permitted to take any and all actions under the BBA Audit Rules (including making or revoking the election referred to in section 6226 of the BBA Audit Rules).  The Company shall file as a partnership for federal, state, provincial and local income tax purposes, except where otherwise required by Law.  All elections required or permitted to be made by the Company, and all other tax decisions and determinations relating to federal, state, provincial or local tax matters of the Company, shall be made by the Applicable Tax Representative, in consultation with the Company’s attorneys and/or accountants.  Tax audits, controversies and litigations shall be conducted under the direction of the Applicable Tax Representative.  The Applicable Tax Representative shall keep the other Members reasonably informed as to any tax actions, examinations or proceedings relating to the Company and shall submit to the other Members, for their review and comment, any settlement or compromise offer with respect to any disputed item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Company.  As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Company shall send to each Member a copy of United States Internal Revenue Service Schedule K-1, and any comparable statements required by applicable United States state or local income tax law as a result of the Company’s activities or investments, with respect to such Fiscal Year.  The Company also shall provide the Members with such other information as may be reasonably requested for purposes of allowing the Members to prepare and file their own tax returns.  The Company shall use any reasonable method or combination of methods in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code for the purpose of allocating or specifically allocating items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense of the Company for federal income tax purposes to account for the varying interests of the Members for the Fiscal Year.

Section 5.09    Other Allocation Provisions.  Certain of the foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1 (b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such regulations.  Section 5.03, Section 5.04 and Section 5.05 may be amended at any time by the Board if the Board believes such amendment is advisable, so long as any such amendment does not materially change the relative economic interests of the Members.  Furthermore, the Board shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Subsidiaries to make adjustments to Capital Accounts to reflect an adjustment to the carrying value of such Subsidiaries assets consistent with the adjustments to Carrying Values of the Company’s assets hereunder.

ARTICLE VI     
BOOKS AND RECORDS; REPORTS

Section 6.01    Books and Records.
(a)    At all times during the continuance of the Company, the Board shall arrange for the preparation and maintenance of separate books of account for the Company.
(b)    Except as limited by Section 6.01(c), each Member shall have the right to receive, for a purpose reasonably related to such Member’s interest as a Member in the Company, upon reasonable written demand stating the purpose of such demand and at such Member’s own expense:
(i)    a copy of the Certificate and this Agreement and all amendments thereto, together with a copy of the executed copies of all powers of attorney (if applicable) pursuant to which the Certificate and this Agreement and all amendments thereto have been executed; and
(ii)    promptly after their becoming available, copies of the Company’s federal, state and local income tax returns and reports, if any, for the three most recent years.
(c)    The Board may keep confidential from the Members, for such period of time as the Board determines in its sole discretion, (i) any information that the Board reasonably believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or (ii) other information the disclosure of which the Board believes is not in the best interests of the Company, could damage the Company or its business or that the Company is required by Law or by agreement with any third party to keep confidential.

ARTICLE VII     
ORDINARY SHARES, VOTING SHARES AND OTHER UNITS

Section 7.01    Units.  Interests in the Company shall be represented by Units.  As of the date of this Agreement, the Units are comprised of three Classes designated as Ordinary Shares, Voting Shares and Series A Preferred Mirror Units.  The terms, rights, powers, preferences and duties of the Series A Preferred Mirror Units are as set forth in Article XI.  Each outstanding Ordinary Share has the same rights and privileges to share in allocations and distributions as each other outstanding Ordinary Share.  The Board may establish, from time to time in accordance with such procedures as the Board shall determine from time to time, other Classes, one or more series of any such Classes, or other Company securities with such designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties (which may be senior to existing Classes and series of Units or other Company securities), as shall be determined by the Board, including (i) the right to share in Profits and Losses or items thereof; (ii) the right to share in Company distributions; (iii) the rights upon the winding up, liquidation and dissolution of the Company; (iv) whether, and the terms and conditions upon which, the Company may or shall be required to redeem the Units or other Company securities (including sinking fund provisions); (v) whether such Unit or other Company security is issued with the privilege of conversion or exchange and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange; (vi) the terms and conditions upon which each Unit or other Company security will be issued, evidenced by certificates and assigned or transferred; (vii) the method for determining the Percentage Interest as to such Units or other Company securities; and (viii) the right, if any, of the holder of each such Unit or other Company security to vote on Company matters, including matters relating to the relative designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties of such Units or other Company securities.  Except as expressly provided in this Agreement to the contrary, any reference to “Units” shall include the Ordinary Shares, the Voting Shares, the Series A Preferred Mirror Units and any other Classes that may be established in accordance with this Agreement.  All Units of a particular Class shall have identical rights in all respects as all other Units of such Class, except in each case as otherwise specified in this Agreement.

Section 7.02    Certificates.  The Company shall issue certificates of limited liability company interests evidencing the Units.  Each certificate shall identify the particular Class of Units represented by such certificate.  Each certificate evidencing any Unit shall bear an appropriate legend indicating the existence of this Agreement and the restrictions on Transfer contained herein.  All certificates shall be signed by an authorized officer of the Company.  Any such signature may be a facsimile.  No certificate shall be issued in bearer form.  The Company may issue a new certificate of Units in place of any certificate previously issued by it that is alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.  The Company may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or its legal representative, to give the Company a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of a new certificate.

Section 7.03    Register.  The register of the Company shall be the definitive record of ownership of each Unit and all relevant information, including voting rights, with respect to each Member.

Section 7.04    Registered Members.  The Company shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a Person registered on its records as the owner of Units for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in Units on the part of any other Person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the Act or other applicable Law.

ARTICLE VIII     
FORFEITURE OF INTERESTS; TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

Section 8.01    Member Transfers.
(a)    No Member or Assignee thereof may Transfer (including by exchanging in an Exchange Transaction) all or any portion of its Units or other interest in the Company (or beneficial interest therein) without the prior consent of the Board, which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject to such conditions (including, without limitation, the receipt of such legal opinions and other documents that the Board may require) as are determined by the Board, in each case in the Board’s sole discretion.  Any such determination in the Board’s discretion in respect of Units shall be final and binding.  Such determinations need not be uniform and may be made selectively among Members, whether or not such Members are similarly situated, and shall not constitute the breach of any duty hereunder or otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise.  Any purported Transfer of Units that is not in accordance with, or subsequently violates, this Agreement shall be, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, null and void.
(b)    Subject to Section 8.03, the Board may consider consenting to an exchange or Transfer of Common Units in an Exchange Transaction pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement.  In the case of a Transfer of Common Units in connection with an Exchange Transaction, the Percentage Interests of the Members shall be appropriately adjusted to provide for, as applicable, a decrease in the number of Common Units owned by the exchanging Member and an increase in the number of Common Units owned by APO UK (FC).
(c)    Subject to Section 8.04, the Board may consider consenting to an exchange or Transfer of Units by a Member that is a party to a Roll-up Agreement pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof.

Section 8.02    Encumbrances.  No Member or Assignee may create an Encumbrance with respect to all or any portion of its Units or other interest in the Company (or any beneficial interest therein) unless the Board consents in writing thereto, which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject to such conditions as are determined by the Board, in the Board’s sole discretion.  Consent of the Board shall be withheld until the holder of the Encumbrance acknowledges the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Any purported Encumbrance that is not in accordance with this Agreement shall be, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, null and void.

Section 8.03    Further Restrictions.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, in no event may any Transfer of a Unit be made by any Member or Assignee if:
(a)    such Transfer is made to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own such Unit;
(b)    such Transfer would require the registration of such transferred Unit or of any Class of Unit pursuant to any applicable United States federal or state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) or other non-U.S. securities laws (including Canadian provincial or territorial securities laws) or would constitute a non-exempt distribution pursuant to applicable provincial or state securities laws;
(c)    such Transfer would cause (i) all or any portion of the assets of the Company to (A) constitute “plan assets” (under ERISA, the Code or any applicable Similar Law) of any existing or contemplated Member, or (B) be subject to the provisions of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable Similar Law, or (ii) the Board to become a fiduciary with respect to any existing or contemplated Member, pursuant to ERISA, any applicable Similar Law, or otherwise;
(d)    to the extent requested by the Board, the Company does not receive such legal and/or tax opinions and written instruments (including, without limitation, copies of any instruments of Transfer and such Assignee’s consent to be bound by this Agreement as an Assignee) that are in a form satisfactory to the Board, as determined in the Board’s sole discretion; or
(e)    such Transfer would create a substantial risk that the Company would be classified or otherwise treated other than as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes.

Section 8.04    Rights of Assignees.  Subject to Section 8.05 and Section 8.06, the transferee of any permitted Transfer pursuant to this Article VIII will be an assignee only (“Assignee”), and only will receive, to the extent transferred, the distributions and allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit or similar item to which the Member which transferred its Units would be entitled, and such Assignee will not be entitled or enabled to exercise any other rights or powers of a Member, such other rights, and all obligations relating to, or in connection with, such interest remaining with the transferring Member.  The transferring Member will remain a Member even if it has transferred all of its Units to one or more Assignees until such time as the Assignee(s) is admitted to the Company as a Member pursuant to Section 8.05 or Section 8.06.  Any transferring Member will remain liable to the Company as contemplated by Section 5.07 and shall, if requested by the Board, expressly acknowledge such liability in such agreements as may be entered into by such Member in connection with such transfer.

Section 8.05    Admissions, Withdrawals and Removals.
(a)    No Member will be removed or entitled to withdraw from being a Member of the Company except in accordance with Section 8.07.
(b)    Except as otherwise provided in Article IX or the Act, no admission, substitution, withdrawal or removal of a Member will cause the commencement of winding up or the dissolution of the Company.  To the fullest extent permitted by Law, any purported admission, withdrawal or removal that is not in accordance with this Agreement shall be null and void.

Section 8.06    Admission of Assignees as Substitute Members.  An Assignee will become a substitute Member only if and when each of the following conditions is satisfied:
(a)    the Board consents in writing to such admission, which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject to such conditions as are determined by the Board, in each case in the Board’s sole discretion;
(b)    if required by the Board, the Board receives written instruments (including, without limitation, copies of any instruments of Transfer and such Assignee’s consent to be bound by this Agreement as a substitute Member) that are in a form satisfactory to the Board (as determined in its sole discretion);
(c)    if required by the Board, the Board receives an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Board to the effect that such Transfer is in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable Law; and
(d)    if required by the Board, the parties to the Transfer, or any one of them, pays all of the Company’s reasonable expenses connected with such Transfer (including, but not limited to, the reasonable legal and accounting fees of the Company).

Section 8.07    Withdrawal and Removal of Members.
(a)    If a Member ceases to hold any Units, then such Member shall cease to be a Member and to have the power to exercise any rights or powers of a Member.
(b)    Unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, notwithstanding the provisions of section 24(2) of the Act, a Person shall not cease to be a Member by reason of (i) the commencement and continuation for more than 120 days of any proceedings against the member seeking reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any law, or (ii) the appointment without such Member’s consent or acquiescence of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Member or of all or any substantial part of such Member’s properties, which appointment has not been vacated within 90 days after the later of (x) such appointment or (y) the expiration of any stay entered within 90 days after such appointment.

ARTICLE IX     
DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

Section 9.01    No Dissolution.  Except as required by the Act, the Company shall not commence winding up nor be dissolved by the admission of additional Members or withdrawal of Members in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The Company may be wound up, liquidated, dissolved, and terminated only pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX, and the Members hereby irrevocably waive any and all other rights they may have to cause a winding up and/or dissolution of the Company or a sale or partition of any or all of the Company assets.

Section 9.02    Events Causing Winding Up.  The Company shall be wound up upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each, a “Dissolution Event”):
(a)    any event which makes it unlawful for the business of the Company to be carried on by the Members;
(b)    the written consent of the Board and holders of a majority of Voting Shares;
(c)    any other event expressly set out in the Act not inconsistent with any provision hereof requiring the Company to be wound up and dissolved;
(d)    if there are no remaining Managers; provided that the Company will not be dissolved or required to be wound up in connection with any of the events specified in this Section 9.02(d) if holders of a majority of Voting Shares consent to or ratify the continuation of the business of the Company and the appointment of at least one Manager within 90 days following the occurrence of any such event.

Section 9.03    Distribution upon Winding Up.  Upon the commencement of the winding up of the Company, the Board, or any other Person designated by the Board (the “Liquidation Agent”), shall take full account of the assets and liabilities of the Company and shall, unless the Board determines otherwise, liquidate the assets of the Company as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof and otherwise in accordance with the Act (to the extent applicable) and this Agreement.  The proceeds of any liquidation shall be applied and distributed in the following order:
(a)    First, to the satisfaction of debts and liabilities of the Company (including satisfaction of all indebtedness to Members and/or their Affiliates to the extent otherwise permitted by Law) including the expenses of liquidation, and including the establishment of any reserve which the Liquidation Agent shall deem reasonably necessary for any contingent, conditional or unmatured contractual liabilities or obligations of the Company (“Contingencies”).  Any such reserve may be paid over by the Liquidation Agent to any attorney-at-law, or acceptable party, as escrow agent, to be held for disbursement in payment of any Contingencies and, at the expiration of such period as shall be deemed advisable by the Liquidation Agent for distribution of the balance in the manner hereinafter provided in this Section 9.03;
(b)    Second, to the holders of the Series A Preferred Mirror Units as provided in Article XI; and
(c)    The balance, if any, to the Members, pro rata to each of the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

Section 9.04    Time for Liquidation.  A reasonable amount of time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Company and the discharge of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Liquidation Agent to minimize the losses attendant upon such liquidation.

Section 9.06    Claims of the Members.  The Members shall look solely to the Company’s assets for the return of their Capital Contributions, and if the assets of the Company remaining after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company are insufficient to return such Capital Contributions, the Members shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Member or any other Person.  No Member with a negative balance in such Member’s Capital Account shall have any obligation to the Company or to the other Members or to any creditor or other Person to restore such negative balance during the existence of the Company, upon dissolution or termination of the Company or otherwise, except to the extent required by the Act.

Section 9.07    Survival of Certain Provisions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of Section 10.02 and Section 11.10 shall survive the termination of the Company.

ARTICLE X     
LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.01    Liability of Members.
(a)    No Member shall be liable for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company or of any other Member or have any obligation to restore any deficit balance in its Capital Account solely by reason of being a Member of the Company, except to the extent required by the Act.
(b)    This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duty on any of the Members hereto or on their respective Affiliates.  Further, the Members hereby waive any and all fiduciary duties that, absent such waiver, may exist at or be implied by Law or in equity, and in doing so, recognize, acknowledge and agree that their duties and obligations to one another and to the Company are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement and those required by the Act.
(c)    Subject to the Act, to the extent that, at law or in equity, any Member has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to another Member, the Members acting under this Agreement will not be liable to the Company or to any such other Member for their good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.  Subject to the Act, the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities relating thereto of any Member otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace to that extent such other duties and liabilities of the Members relating thereto.
(d)    The Board may consult with legal counsel, accountants and financial or other advisors and any act or omission suffered or taken by the Board on behalf of the Company or in furtherance of the interests of the Company in good faith in reliance upon and in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or financial or other advisors will be full justification for any such act or omission, and the Board will be fully protected in so acting or omitting to act so long as such counsel or accountants or financial or other advisors were selected with reasonable care.

Section 10.02    Indemnification.
(a)    Each Manager (including any former Manager), the Applicable Tax Representative, and each Member (including any former Member), in his capacity, as such, and to the extent such Member participates, directly or indirectly, in the Company’s activities (each, a “Covered Person” and collectively, the “Covered Persons”) shall not be liable to the Company or, to the extent applicable, to any of the other Members for any loss, claim, damage or liability occasioned by any acts or omissions in the performance of its services hereunder, unless it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (a “Final Adjudication”) that such loss, claim, damage or liability is due to an act or omission of a Covered Person (i) made in bad faith or with criminal intent or (ii) that adversely affected the Company and that failed to satisfy the duty of care owed pursuant to the Company or as otherwise required by Law.
(b)    A Covered Person shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by Law by the Company against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by or imposed upon him by reason of or in connection with any action taken or omitted by such Covered Person arising out of the Covered Person’s status as a Member or its activities on behalf of the Company, including in connection with any action, suit, investigation or proceeding before any judicial, administrative, regulatory or legislative body or agency to which it may be made a party or otherwise involved or with which it shall be threatened by reason of being or having been the Board or by reason of serving or having served as a director, officer, consultant, advisor, manager, member, partner, employee or stockholder of any enterprise in which the Company or any of its Affiliates has or had a financial interest; provided that the Company may, but shall not be required to, indemnify a Covered Person with respect to any matter as to which there has been a Final Adjudication that its acts or its failure to act (i) were in bad faith or with criminal intent, or (ii) were of a nature that makes indemnification by the relevant Affiliate unavailable.  The right to indemnification granted by this Section 10.02 shall be in addition to any rights to which a Covered Person may otherwise be entitled and shall inure to the benefit of the successors by operation of law or valid assigns of such Covered Person.  The Company shall pay the expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, investigation or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such, action, suit, investigation or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the Covered Person to repay such payment if there shall be a Final Adjudication that it is not entitled to indemnification as provided herein.  In any suit brought by the Covered Person to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder it shall be a defense that the Covered Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section 10.02, and in any suit in the name of the Company to recover expenses advanced pursuant to the terms of an undertaking the Company shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon Final Adjudication that the Covered Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section 10.02.  In any such suit brought to enforce a right to indemnification or to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified, or to an advancement of expenses, shall be on the Company (or any Member acting derivatively or otherwise on behalf of the Company or the Members).  The Board may not satisfy any right of indemnity or reimbursement granted in this Section 10.02 or to which it may be otherwise entitled except out of the assets of the Company (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds and rights pursuant to indemnification agreements), and no Member shall be personally liable with respect to any such claim for indemnity or reimbursement.  The Board may enter into appropriate indemnification agreements and/or arrangements reflective of the provisions of this Section 10.02 and obtain appropriate insurance coverage on behalf and at the expense of the Company to secure the Company’s indemnification obligations hereunder and may enter into appropriate indemnification agreements and/or arrangements reflective of the provisions of this Section 10.02.  Each Covered Person shall be deemed a third party beneficiary (to the extent not a direct party hereto) to this Agreement and, in particular, the provisions of this Section 10.02.
(c)    To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or the Members, the Covered Person shall not be liable to the Company or to any Member for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.  Subject to the Act, the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of each such Covered Person.

ARTICLE XI     
TERMS, RIGHTS, POWERS, PREFERENCES AND DUTIES OF SERIES A PREFERRED MIRROR UNITS

Section 11.01    Designation.  The Series A Preferred Mirror Units are hereby designated and created as a series of Preferred Units.  Each Series A Preferred Mirror Unit shall be identical in all respects to every other Series A Preferred Mirror Unit.  The Series A Preferred Shares are not “Voting Shares” for purposes of this Agreement.  As of any date of determination, the Percentage Interest as to any Series A Holder in its capacity as such with respect to Series A Preferred Mirror Units shall be 0% as such term applies to all Members; provided, however, that when such term is used to only apply to Series A Holders, “Percentage Interest” shall mean, with respect to any holder of Series A Preferred Mirror Units in its capacity as such as of any date, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the number of Series A Preferred Mirror Units held by such holder on such date relative to the aggregate number of Series A Preferred Mirror Units then outstanding as of such date.  The Board may cause the Company to, from time to time, without notice to or consent of the Series A Holders or holders of other Parity Units, issue additional Series A Preferred Mirror Units.

Section 11.02    Distributions.
(a)    The Series A Holders shall be entitled to receive with respect to each Series A Preferred Mirror Unit owned by such holder, when, as and if declared by the Board, or a duly authorized committee thereof, in its sole discretion out of funds legally available therefor, non-cumulative quarterly cash distributions, on the applicable Distribution Payment Date that corresponds to the Record Date for which the Board has declared a distribution, if any, at a rate per annum equal to the Series A Distribution Rate (subject to Section 11.05 of this Agreement) of the Series A Liquidation Preference.  Such distributions shall be non-cumulative. Distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Mirror Units for any period less than a full Distribution Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.  Declared distributions will be payable on the relevant Distribution Payment Date to Series A Holders as they appear on the Company’s register at the close of business, New York City time, on a Series A Record Date, provided that if the Series A Record Date is not a Business Day, the declared distributions will be payable on the relevant Distribution Payment Date to Series A Holders as they appear on the Company’s register at the close of business, New York City time on the Business Day immediately preceding such Series A Record Date.
(b)    So long as any Series A Preferred Mirror Units are outstanding, for any then-current Distribution Period, unless distributions have been declared and paid or declared and set apart for payment on (i) all AOG Mirror Interests or (ii) the Series A Preferred Shares, then, in each case for such then-current Distribution Period only, (i) no distributions may be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Company on any Junior Units and (ii) the Company may not repurchase any of its Junior Units; provided, however, that, the foregoing limitations shall not apply to (x) a distribution to any holder of equity interests of the Company in order to permit such holder (or parent of such holder) to net share settle equity-based awards granted under the Issuer’s 2007 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan in order to satisfy associated tax obligations, (y) pro rata Tax Distributions in accordance with Section 4.01(b) as in effect on the date the Series A Shares are first issued and/or (z) distributions paid in Junior Units or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase Junior Units.
(c)    The Board may, in its sole discretion, choose to pay distributions on the Series A Preferred Mirror Units without the payment of any distributions on any Junior Units.
(d)    When distributions are not declared and paid (or duly provided for) on any Distribution Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Units having distribution payment dates different from the Distribution Payment Dates pertaining to the Series A Preferred Mirror Units, on a distribution payment date falling within the related Distribution Period) in full upon the Series A Preferred Mirror Units or any Parity Units, all distributions declared upon the Series A Preferred Mirror Units and all such Parity Units payable on such Distribution Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Units having distribution payment dates different from the Distribution Payment Dates, on a distribution payment date falling within the related Distribution Period) shall be declared pro rata so that the respective amounts of such distributions shall bear the same ratio to each other as all declared and unpaid distributions per Unit on the Series A Preferred Mirror Units and all unpaid distributions, including any accumulations, on all Parity Units payable on such Distribution Payment Date (or in the case of Parity Units having distribution payment dates different from the Distribution Payment Dates pertaining to the Series A Preferred Mirror Units, on a distribution payment date falling within the related Distribution Period) bear to each other.
(e)    No distributions may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Series A Preferred Mirror Units if at the same time any arrears exist or default exists in the payment of distributions on any outstanding Units ranking, as to the payment of distributions and distribution of assets upon a Dissolution Event, senior to the Series A Preferred Mirror Units, subject to any applicable terms of such outstanding Units.
(f)    Series A Holders shall not be entitled to any distributions, whether payable in cash or property, other than as provided in this Agreement and shall not be entitled to interest, or any sum in lieu of interest, in respect of any distribution payment, including any such payment which is delayed or foregone.
(g)    The Company and the Series A Holders intend that no portion of the distributions paid to the Series A Holders pursuant to this Section 11.02 shall be treated as a “guaranteed payment” within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, and the Company and the Series A Holders shall not take any position inconsistent to such intention, except if there is a change in applicable law or final determination by the Internal Revenue Service that is inconsistent with such intention.

Section 11.03    Rank.  The Series A Preferred Mirror Units shall rank, with respect to payment of distributions and distribution of assets upon a Dissolution Event:
(a)    junior to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness and any equity securities, including Preferred Units, that the Company may authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such securities shall rank senior to the Series A Preferred Mirror Units with respect to payment of distributions and distribution of assets upon a Dissolution Event;
(b)    equally to any Parity Units; and
(c)    senior to any Junior Units.

Section 11.04    Redemption.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time and from time to time, the Company may, in the Board’s sole discretion, redeem the Series A Preferred Mirror Units, out of funds legally available therefor, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the Series A Liquidation Preference plus an amount equal to declared and unpaid distributions from the Distribution Payment Date immediately preceding the redemption date to, but excluding, the redemption date.  
(b)    If the Issuer redeems its Series A Preferred Shares pursuant to a Change of Control Event or a Tax Redemption Event, then the Company may, in the Board’s sole discretion, redeem the Series A Preferred Mirror Units, in whole but not in part, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to $25.25 per Series A Preferred Mirror Unit plus an amount equal to the declared and unpaid distributions.  So long as funds sufficient to pay the redemption price for all of the Series A Preferred Mirror Units called for redemption have been set aside for payment, from and after the redemption date, such Series A Preferred Mirror Units called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding, and all rights of the Series A Holders thereof shall cease other than the right to receive the redemption price, without interest.
(c)    Without limiting clause (b) of this Section 11.04, if the Company shall deposit on or prior to any date fixed for redemption of Series A Preferred Mirror Units, with any bank or trust company, as a trust fund, or in an account for the benefit of and/or Controlled by the Board or the Company, a fund sufficient to redeem the Series A Preferred Mirror Units called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions and authority to such bank or trust company (if applicable) to pay on and after the date fixed for redemption or such earlier date as the Board may determine, to the respective Series A Holders, the redemption price thereof, then from and after the date of such deposit (although prior to the date fixed for redemption) such Series A Preferred Mirror Units so called shall be deemed to be redeemed and such deposit shall be deemed to constitute full payment of such Series A Preferred Mirror Units to the holders thereof and from and after the date of such deposit such Series A Preferred Mirror Units shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and the holders thereof shall cease to be holders of Units with respect to such Series A Preferred Mirror Units, and shall have no rights with respect thereto except only the right to receive from such bank or trust company, or account for the benefit of and/or Controlled by the Board or the Company, on the redemption date or such earlier date as the Board may determine, payment of the redemption price of such Series A Preferred Mirror Units without interest.
(d)    The Series A Holders shall have no right to require redemption of any Series A Preferred Mirror Units.

Section 11.05       Series A Distribution Rate. If the distribution rate per annum on the Series A Preferred Shares issued by the Issuer shall increase pursuant to Section 13.5 of the Issuer LLC Agreement, then the Series A Distribution Rate shall increase by the same amount beginning on the same date as set forth in Article XIII of the Issuer LLC Agreement.

Section 11.06    Allocations.  Before giving effect to the allocations set forth in Article V, Gross Ordinary Income for the Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated pro rata to the holders of Series A Preferred Mirror Units in accordance with each holder’s Percentage Interest with respect to their Series A Preferred Mirror Units in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the amount of cash distributed with respect to the Series A Preferred Mirror Units pursuant to Section 11.02 during such Fiscal Year and (ii) the excess, if any, of the amount of cash distributed with respect to the Series A Preferred Mirror Units pursuant to Section 11.02 in all prior Fiscal Years over the amount of Gross Ordinary Income allocated to the Series A Holders pursuant to this Section 11.06 in all prior Fiscal Years.  For purposes of this Section 11.06, “Gross Ordinary Income” means the Company’s gross income excluding any gross income attributable to the sale or exchange of “capital assets” as defined in Section 1221 of the Code.  Allocations to Series A Holders of Gross Ordinary Income shall consist of a proportionate share of each Company item of Gross Ordinary Income for such Fiscal Year in accordance with each such holder’s Percentage Interest with respect to such holder’s Series A Preferred Mirror Units.  

Section 11.07    Voting.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or the Act to the contrary, the Series A Preferred Mirror Units shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other voting, consent or approval rights or powers, and the vote, consent or approval of the Series A Holders shall not be required for the taking of any Company action or inaction.

Section 11.08    Liquidation Rights.
(a)    Upon any Dissolution Event, after payment or provision for the liabilities of the Company (including the expenses of such Dissolution Event) and the satisfaction of all claims ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Mirror Units in accordance with Section 9.03, the Series A Holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company or proceeds thereof available for distribution to Members, before any payment or distribution of assets is made in respect of Junior Units, distributions equal to the positive balance in their Capital Accounts (to the extent such positive balance is attributable to ownership of the Series A Preferred Mirror Units and after taking into account allocations of Gross Ordinary Income to the Series A Holders pursuant to Section 11.06 for the taxable year in which the Dissolution Event occurs) pursuant to Section 9.03, pro rata based on the full respective distributable amounts to which each Series A Holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 11.08(a).
(b)    Upon a Dissolution Event, after each Series A Holder receives a payment equal to the positive balance in its Capital Account (to the extent such positive balance is attributable to ownership of the Series A Preferred Mirror Units and after taking into account allocations of Gross Ordinary Income to the Series A Holders pursuant to Section 11.06 for the taxable year in which the Dissolution Event occurs), such Series A Holder shall not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Company.
(c)    If the assets of the Company available for distribution upon a Dissolution Event are insufficient to pay in full the aggregate amount payable to the Series A Holders and holders of all other outstanding Parity Units, if any, such assets shall be distributed to the Series A Holders and holders of such Parity Units pro rata, based on the full respective distributable amounts to which each such Member is entitled pursuant to this Section 11.08.
(d)    Nothing in this Section 11.08 shall be understood to entitle the Series A Holders to be paid any amount upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event until holders of any classes or series of Units ranking, as to the distribution of assets upon a Dissolution Event, senior to the Series A Preferred Mirror Units have been paid all amounts to which such classes or series of Units are entitled.
(e)    For the purposes of this Section 11.08, a Dissolution Event shall not be deemed to have occurred in connection with (i) a Substantially All Merger or a Substantially All Sale whereby a member of the Apollo Operating Group is the surviving Person or the Person formed by such transaction is organized under the laws of a Permitted Jurisdiction and has expressly assumed all of the obligations under the AOG Mirror Interests, (ii) the sale or disposition of a member of the Apollo Operating Group (whether by merger, consolidation or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets) if such sale or disposition is not a Substantially All Merger or Substantially All Sale, (iii) the sale or disposition of a member of the Apollo Operating Group should such member not constitute a “significant subsidiary” of the Issuer under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC, (iv) an event where the Series A Preferred Shares have been fully redeemed pursuant to the terms of the Issuer LLC Agreement or if proper notice of redemption of the Series A Preferred Shares has been given and funds sufficient to pay the redemption price for all of the Series A Preferred Shares called for redemption have been set aside for payment pursuant to the terms of the Issuer LLC Agreement, (v) transactions where the assets of a member of the Apollo Operating Group being liquidated, dissolved or wound up are immediately contributed to another member of the Apollo Operating Group, and (vi) with respect to a member of the Apollo Operating Group, a Permitted Transfer or a Permitted Reorganization (any of (i) through (vi), a “Dissolution Exception”).
(f)    In the event that any member of the Apollo Operating Group liquidates, dissolves or winds up, including a Dissolution Event, the Company shall not declare or pay or set apart payment on its Junior Units unless the outstanding liquidation preference on all outstanding AOG Mirror Interests of each member of the Apollo Operating Group shall have been repaid via redemption or otherwise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such limitation shall apply to or upon (i) a Dissolution Exception or (ii) an event where the Issuer’s Series A Preferred Shares have been fully redeemed pursuant to the terms of the Issuer LLC Agreement or if proper notice of redemption of the Series A Preferred Shares has been given and funds sufficient to pay the redemption price for all of the Series A Preferred Shares called for redemption have been set aside by or on behalf of the Issuer for payment pursuant to the terms of the Issuer LLC Agreement.

Section 11.09    No Duties to Series A Holders.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, neither the Board nor any other Covered Person shall have any duties or liabilities to the Series A Holders.

Section 11.10    Coordination Among Apollo Operating Group.  To facilitate compliance with the limitations set forth in Sections 11.02(b) and 11.08(f) above, the Board shall coordinate with, and provide advance notice to, the general partner or manager of each other member of the Apollo Operating Group with respect to planned distributions, holdbacks, liquidations, dissolutions, redemptions or repurchases of equity interests and extraordinary transactions, using such procedures as the Board and such other general partners collectively shall determine from time to time.

Section 11.11    Amendments and Waivers.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.11 of the Agreement, the provisions of this Article XI may be amended, supplemented, waived or modified by the action of the Board without the consent of any Member.

Section 11.12       Expenses.  It is the intent of the Issuer, the Company and the other members of the Apollo Operating Group that the offering of the Series A Preferred Shares by the Issuer is for the benefit of the Company and the other members of the Apollo Operating Group and therefore the fees and expenses (including any underwriter discounts and fees) associated with the offering of the Series A Preferred Shares by the Issuer (the “Offering Expenses”) shall be borne by the members of the Apollo Operating Group.  In order to implement such intent, (i) the Issuer will be deemed to have contributed the gross proceeds raised in the offering of the Series A Preferred Shares to APO Asset Co., LLC, APO (FC), LLC, APO (FC II), LLC, APO (FC III), LLC, APO UK (FC), LLC and APO Corp. (in exchange for a note in the case of APO Corp.), in accordance with the books and records of such entities, which will in turn contribute the gross proceeds to the Company and the other members of the Apollo Operating Group in exchange for Series A Preferred Mirror Units issued by the Company and the other members of the Apollo Operating Group, and (ii) the Company and the other members of the Apollo Operating Group will be deemed to have paid the Offering Expenses, pro rata based on the relative amount of gross proceeds each member of the Apollo Operating Group is deemed to have received.
