(i)    For the purpose of making a gratuitous transfer to any Charity, an Apollo Principal Holder may surrender AOG Units to the Issuer in exchange for the delivery by the Issuer of a number of Class A Shares equal to the product of the number of AOG Units surrendered multiplied by the Exchange Rate (such exchange, an “A Exchange”); or

(b)    On the Quarterly Exchange Date that AOG Units are surrendered for exchange, all rights of the exchanging Apollo Principal Holder as holder of such AOG Units shall cease, and such exchanging Apollo Principal Holder shall be treated for all purposes as having become the Record Holder (as defined in the Issuer Operating Agreement) of such Class A Shares and shall be admitted as a Member (as defined in the Issuer Operating Agreement) of the Issuer in accordance and upon compliance with the Issuer Operating Agreement.
(c)    For the avoidance of doubt, any exchange of AOG Units shall be subject to the provisions of the Apollo Principal Operating Agreements; provided, that, to the extent consent of any Person shall be required pursuant to the provisions of the Apollo Principal Operating Agreements, the Issuer, APO Corp., APO FC, APO FC II, APO FC III and/or APO UK, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such consent to be obtained (if not already obtained).
(d)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Apollo Principal Holder may exchange any AOG Units held by it pursuant to this Agreement except at the same time and to the same extent that it, or the Person on whose behalf it is requesting such exchange, would be entitled to effect transfers of his Pecuniary Interests (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) under Section 2.2 of the Shareholders Agreement.
		
	SECTION 2.2
	EXCHANGE PROCEDURES; NOTICES AND REVOCATIONS.


(a)    (i)    An Apollo Principal Holder may exercise the right to exchange AOG Units set forth in Section 2.1(a) above by providing a written notice of exchange no later than the applicable Notice Date to:
(A)    in the case of an A Exchange, the Issuer substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, and
(B)    in the case of a B Exchange, APO Corp., APO FC, APO FC II, APO UK and, in the case of any notice of exchange after the date hereof, APO FC III substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, in each case, executed by such holder or such holder's duly authorized attorney in respect of the AOG Units to be exchanged, and delivered during normal business hours at the principal executive offices of the Issuer or APO Corp., APO FC, APO FC II, APO FC III and APO UK, as applicable.
(ii)    If an Apollo Principal Holder provides written notices of exchange for both an A Exchange and a B Exchange to occur in the same Quarter, such Apollo Principal Holder shall cause the A Exchange and the B Exchange to occur on two or more separate exchange dates during the Quarter for which such notices of exchange relate. Except as provided below with respect to an underwritten Public Offering, (a) the B Exchange identified by the Apollo Principal Holder in the applicable notice of exchange shall occur on the date provided in clause (iii) of the definition of “Quarterly Exchange Date” (such date being, the “Initial Quarterly Exchange Date”) and the A Exchange identified by the Apollo Principal Holder in the applicable notice of exchange shall occur on the first Business Day that is at least 11 days following the Initial Quarterly Exchange Date (such date being referred to herein as a “Subsequent Quarterly Exchange Date”); provided that to the extent that an Apollo Principal Holder has delivered a notice of exchange for both an A Exchange and a B Exchange to occur in the same Quarter and has also notified the Issuer prior to the first Quarterly Exchange Date during the applicable Quarter on which any AOG Units may be exchanged hereunder that a portion of the AOG Units to be exchanged in a B Exchange under such notices of exchange will be offered in an underwritten Public Offering, then all AOG Units set forth in the notice of exchange for the B Exchange shall be exchanged on the Quarterly Exchange Dates provided in clauses (i) and (ii) of the definition of Quarterly Exchange Date, as applicable (the last of such dates being deemed the Initial Quarterly Exchange Date for purposes of this Section 2(a)(ii)), and the AOG Units set forth in the notice of exchange for the A Exchange shall be exchanged on the Subsequent Quarterly Exchange Date.  For purposes of this Agreement, each of the Initial Quarterly Exchange Date and the Subsequent Quarterly Exchange Date shall be treated as a Quarterly Exchange Date. 
(b)    (i)    With respect to any notice of exchange, an Apollo Principal Holder may irrevocably revoke any such notice in whole, but not in part, with respect to such AOG Units to be exchanged (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall apply to all AOG Units subject to such notice) in writing on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the first Quarterly Exchange Date on which any AOG Units may be exchanged following the Notice Date with respect to which such notice was given, but only in the event that the closing trading price per share of the Class A Shares on the Exchange on the Business Day immediately preceding date of revocation is at least 10% lower than the closing trading price per share of the Class A Shares on the Exchange on the Notice Date with respect to which such notice was given.
(ii)    In addition to and not in limitation of Section 2.2(b)(i), with respect to any notice of exchange for which Class A Shares issued upon exchange will be offered in an underwritten Public Offering, an Apollo Principal Holder may irrevocably revoke any such notice in whole, but not in part, with respect to all AOG Units to be exchanged (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall apply to all AOG Units subject to such notice) in writing immediately before the pricing of the underwritten Public Offering, but only in the event that the gross price per Class A share offered to the public is at least 10% lower than the closing trading price per share of the Class A Shares on the Exchange on the Notice Date with respect to which such notice was given.
(iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any notice of exchange (A) if no revocation shall have been made pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(i) above prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the first Quarterly Exchange Date on which any AOG Units may be exchanged following the Notice Date with respect to which such notice was given, then the ability of an Apollo Principal Holder to revoke any exchange pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(i) shall lapse and (B) no Apollo Principal Holder that makes any revocation with respect to a Quarterly Exchange Date as provided in Section 2.2(b)(i) or (ii) above may exercise the right to exchange AOG Units set forth in Section 2.1(a) in respect of any Quarterly Exchange Date in the next upcoming Quarter.
(c)    As promptly as practicable following the surrender for exchange of AOG Units in the manner provided in this Article II, the Issuer, in the case of an A Exchange, or APO Corp., APO FC, APO FC II, APO FC III and/or APO UK, as applicable, in the case of a B Exchange, shall deliver or cause to be delivered at the principal executive offices of the Issuer or at the office of the Transfer Agent the number of Class A Shares issuable upon such exchange, issued in the name of such exchanging Apollo Principal Holder.
(d)    The Issuer, in the case of an A Exchange, or APO Corp., APO FC, APO FC II, APO FC III and APO UK in the case of a B Exchange, may adopt reasonable procedures for the implementation of the exchange provisions set forth in this Article II, including, without limitation, procedures for the giving of notice of an election for exchange.  Further, APO Corp., APO FC, APO FC II, APO FC III and APO UK will coordinate with the Issuer to guarantee that APO Corp., APO FC, APO FC II, APO FC III and APO UK will have sufficient Class A Shares to meet APO Corp’s, APO FC’s, APO FC II’s, APO FC III’s or APO UK’s obligation to deliver Class A Shares in exchange of AOG Units on each Quarterly Exchange Date.  This will be accomplished so as to result in APO Corp., APO FC, APO FC II, APO FC III and APO UK, if relevant, purchasing such Class A Shares, such that the acquisition of Class A Shares is a taxable event pursuant to Section 1001 of the Code.
		
	SECTION 2.3
	REGISTRATION, BLACKOUT PERIODS, CUTBACKS AND OWNERSHIP RESTRICTIONS. 


(a)    In respect of each Quarterly Exchange Date:
(i)    At all times following the date hereof, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to either (i) keep the registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-211225) relating to the exchange of AOG Units for Class A Shares continuously effective or (ii) file and cause to become effective another registration statement on Form S-3 relating to the exchange of AOG Units for Class A Shares and keep any such other registration statement continuously effective (such effective registration statement used by the Issuer to comply with this sentence, the “Exchange Shelf Registration Statement”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall be entitled to suspend the use of the prospectus included in the Exchange Shelf Registration Statement for a reasonable period of time not to exceed 90 days in succession or 180 days in the aggregate in any 12-month period (a “Suspension Period”) if the Company shall determine in its reasonable judgment that (A) it is not feasible for the Shareholder to use the prospectus for the exchange of Class A Shares because of the unavailability of audited or other required financial statements, provided that the Issuer shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain such financial statements as promptly as practicable, or (B) the filing or effectiveness of the prospectus relating to the Exchange Shelf Registration Statement would cause the disclosure of material, non-public information that the Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; provided, however, that any Suspension Period shall terminate at such time as the public disclosure of such information is made.  After the expiration of any Suspension Period and without any further request from an Apollo Principal Holder, the Issuer shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Exchange Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered in connection with an exchange of Class A Shares included therein, the prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  
(ii)    If an underwritten Public Offering of any Class A Shares to be issued upon any exchanges in respect of a Quarterly Exchange Date is to occur and (A) such underwritten Public Offering does not occur, the Issuer, APO Corp., APO FC, APO FC II, APO FC III and APO UK will cancel all exchanges of the amount of AOG Units attributable to the Class A Shares to be offered in such underwritten Public Offering in respect of such Quarterly Exchange Date unless such Apollo Principal Holder shall have elected in Item 2.A of the notice of exchange to have any AOG Units attributable to such underwritten Public Offering exchanged notwithstanding the non-occurrence of such underwritten Public Offering, (B) the Issuer is advised that the underwriter or underwriters or agent of the Public Offering, as the case may be, intends to reduce or cut back the amount of Class A Shares to be offered in the Public Offering in the manner, and to the extent, contemplated by Article V of the Shareholders Agreement, the Issuer, APO Corp., APO FC, APO FC II, APO FC III and APO UK will reduce or cut back the amount of AOG Units to be exchanged in a B Exchange by an Apollo Principal Holder on the applicable Quarterly Exchange Date unless such Apollo Principal Holder shall have elected in Item 2.B or 2.C of the notice of exchange to have any AOG Units attributable to such cut backs exchanged nonetheless or (C) such underwritten Public Offering includes an over-allotment option, which option shall lapse un-exercised in whole or in part, the Issuer, APO Corp., APO FC, APO FC II, APO FC III and APO UK will reduce the amount of AOG Units to be exchanged by an Apollo Principal Holder in a B Exchange on the applicable Quarterly Exchange Date by the amount of AOG Units attributable to such un-exercised portion of the over-allotment amount unless such Apollo Principal Holder shall have elected in Item 2.D of the notice of exchange to have the AOG Units attributable to such un-exercised portion of the over-allotment exchanged nonetheless.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an Apollo Principal Holder shall not be entitled to exchange AOG Units, and the Issuer, APO Corp., APO FC, APO FC II, APO FC III and APO UK shall have the right to refuse to honor any request for exchange of AOG Units, (i) at any time upon such request, if the Issuer, APO Corp., APO FC, APO FC II, APO FC III or APO UK shall reasonably determine that there may be material non-public information that the Issuer has a bona fide business purposes for preserving as confidential, provided, however, that this shall not restrict (a) any Apollo Principal Holder from exchanging AOG Units if it is anticipated that the material non-public information will become public prior to the date such Apollo Principal Holder sells the Class A Shares; or (b) any exchange of AOG Units where the sale of Class A Shares issued upon exchange will be made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan that was put in place by an Apollo Principal Holder (or a Qualifying Entity on behalf of such Apollo Principal Holder) when such Person was not in possession of material non-public information about the Issuer and its subsidiaries or (ii) if such exchange would be prohibited under applicable law or regulation.
		
	SECTION 2.4

If there is:  (1) any subdivision (by split, distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the AOG Units it shall be accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Class A Shares; or (2) any subdivision (by split, distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Class A Shares it shall be accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the AOG Units.  In the event of a reclassification or other similar transaction as a result of which the Class A Shares are converted into another security, then an Apollo Principal Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exchange the amount of such security that such Apollo Principal Holder would have received if such exchange had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of such reclassification or other similar transaction.  Except as may be required in the immediately preceding sentence, no adjustments in respect of distributions shall be made upon the exchange of any AOG Unit.
		
	SECTION 2.5
	CLASS A SHARES TO BE ISSUED. 


The Issuer covenants that if any Class A Shares require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any foreign, U.S. federal or state law before such Class A Shares may be issued upon exchange pursuant to this Article II, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Class A Shares to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be.  The Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to list the Class A Shares required to be delivered upon exchange prior to such delivery upon each national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the outstanding Class A Shares may be listed or traded at the time of such delivery.  Nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Issuer, APO Corp., APO FC, APO FC II, APO FC III or APO UK from satisfying their obligations in respect of the exchange of the AOG Units by delivery of Class A Shares which are held in the treasury of the Issuer, APO Corp., APO FC, APO FC II, APO FC III, APO UK or any of their subsidiaries.

Except with respect to any Apollo Principal Holder that is a Qualifying Entity (as defined below), any Apollo Principal Holder that is unable to transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of such Class A Shares in a prompt manner as set forth in the preceding sentence (but in any event, within ten (10) days) shall cause all such Class A Shares to be transferred immediately to a partnership, trust or other entity (other than a “grantor trust” or an entity otherwise disregarded as an entity separate from its parent for United States federal income tax purposes) (each, a “Qualifying Entity”).  The Governing Body 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 following an exchange.  An Apollo Principal Holder that is a Qualifying Entity or any other Apollo Principal Holder who promptly transfers Class A Shares received as a result of an exchange to a Qualifying Entity, if in either case such Qualifying Entity participates in a Rule 10b5-1 plan under which it has agreed to sell such Class A Shares through such Qualifying Entity pursuant to such 10b5-1 plan in accordance with its terms, shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 2.7(a), Section 3.3 of the Roll-Up Agreements and Section 2.4(a) of the Agreement Among Principals. 
(b)    Except with respect to any Apollo Principal Holder that is a Qualifying Entity, any other Apollo Principal Holder that exercises the right to exchange AOG Units as set forth in Section 2.1(a) shall provide certification to APO Corp. before giving effect to such exchange and in a form reasonably satisfactory to APO Corp., that to the best knowledge of such Apollo Principal Holder, such Apollo Principal Holder (i) does not own, (ii) will not own, immediately prior to the exchange pursuant to which such Apollo Principal Holder will receive such Class A Shares and (iii) will not be treated as owning immediately before or following such exchange, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any other Class A Shares directly, indirectly, by attribution, or otherwise; provided that such Apollo Principal Holder may own Class A Shares through Qualifying Entities so long as all such Qualifying Entities do not own in the aggregate, and do not directly or indirectly cause the Apollo Principal Holder to be treated as owning for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Class A Shares that represent more than 19% of all outstanding Class A Shares, by value.  Any Apollo Principal Holder that is a Qualifying Entity and that exercises the right to exchange AOG Units as set forth in Section 2.1(a) shall provide certification to APO Corp. before giving effect to such exchange and in a form reasonably satisfactory to Apo Corp., that to the best knowledge of such Apollo Principal Holder, (i) such Apollo Principal Holder is a Qualifying Entity, and (ii) neither such Apollo Principal Holder nor any direct or indirect partner of such Apollo Principal Holder that is an individual owns or will own immediately before or following such exchange, or for U.S. federal income tax purposes is deemed to own or will be deemed to own immediately before or following such exchange, Class A Shares that represent more than 19% of all outstanding Class A Shares by value. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Apollo Principal Holder who holds Class A Shares pursuant to the Issuer’s 2007 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan as may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, or any successor or similar plan will, with the consent of the Governing Body, be permitted to exclude such Class A Shares from this certification.  
(c)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Issuer shall take all reasonable and necessary action to cooperate with any Apollo Principal Holder who shall have notified the Issuer of its intention to implement a 10b5-1 plan for a Qualifying Entity (including for any such Apollo Principal Holder that is a Qualifying Entity) to implement such 10b5-1 plan, including: (i) cooperating directly with the broker or brokers who will administer such 10b5-1 plan, (ii) promptly advising any broker or brokers identified in advance to the Issuer as administering such 10b5-1 plan of any Suspension Period (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) applicable to any re-sale shelf registration statement under which sales of Class A Shares are then being made by such broker or brokers on behalf of a Qualifying Entity pursuant to such 10b5-1 plan and (iii) to the extent the Chief Compliance or Legal Officer of the Issuer (or any designee thereof) is entitled under any applicable policy of the Issuer to review and pre-approve the 10b5-1 plan, such review consists of determining that the 10b5-1 plan conforms to all requirements of Section 240.10b5-1(c)(1)(i) of the Code of Federal Regulations as then in effect and conforms to any other applicable legal requirements deemed appropriate by the Issuer.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.7(c) shall override any rights or obligations of the parties to the Shareholders Agreement.

(b)    Each Apollo Principal Holder hereby expressly consents and agrees that, whenever in this Agreement it is specified that an action may be taken upon the affirmative vote or written consent of less than all of the Apollo Principal Holders, such action may be so taken upon the concurrence of less than all of the Apollo Principal Holders and each Apollo Principal Holder shall be bound by the results of such action.

	SECTION 3.8
	SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION: WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.


(a)    Any and all disputes which cannot be settled amicably, including any ancillary claims of any party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or non-performance of this Agreement (including the validity, scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision) shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in New York in accordance with the then-existing Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce.  If the parties to the dispute fail to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the request for arbitration, the International Chamber of Commerce shall make the appointment.  The arbitrator shall be a lawyer and shall conduct the proceedings in the English language.  Performance under this Agreement shall continue if reasonably possible during any arbitration proceedings.
(b)    Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) in the case of matters relating to an A Exchange, the Issuer may bring, and in the case of matters relating to a B Exchange, APO Corp., APO FC, APO FC II, APO FC III and APO UK may cause any Apollo Principal Entity to bring, on behalf of the Issuer, APO Corp., APO FC, APO FC II, APO FC III, APO UK or such Apollo Principal Entity or on behalf of one or more Apollo Principal Holders, an action or special proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of compelling a party to arbitrate, seeking temporary or preliminary relief in aid of an arbitration hereunder, and/or enforcing an arbitration award and, for the purposes of this paragraph (b), each Apollo Principal Holder (i) expressly consents to the application of paragraph (c) of this Section 3.8 to any such action or proceeding, (ii) agrees that proof shall not be required that monetary damages for breach of the provisions of this Agreement would be difficult to calculate and that remedies at law would be inadequate, and (iii) irrevocably appoints the Issuer, in the case of matters relating to an A Exchange and APO Corp., in the case of matters relating to a B Exchange, as such Apollo Principal Holder’s agents for service of process in connection with any such action or proceeding and agrees that service of process upon such agent, who shall promptly advise such Apollo Principal Holders of any such service of process, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Apollo Principal Holders in any such action or proceeding.
(c)    (i)    EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 3.8, OR ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ANCILLARY TO AN ARBITRATION OR CONTEMPLATED ARBITRATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO OR CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT.  Such ancillary judicial proceedings include any suit, action or proceeding to compel arbitration, to obtain temporary or preliminary judicial relief in aid of arbitration, or to confirm an arbitration award.  The parties acknowledge that the forum designated by this paragraph (c) has a reasonable relation to this Agreement, and to the parties’ relationship with one another.
(ii)    The parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they now or hereafter may have to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any such ancillary suit, action or proceeding brought in any court referred to in the preceding paragraph of this Section 3.8 and such parties agree not to plead or claim the same.
(d)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 3.8 shall be construed to the maximum extent possible to comply with the laws of the State of Delaware, including the Delaware Uniform Arbitration Act (10 Del. C. § 5701 et seq.) (the “Delaware Arbitration Act”).  If, nevertheless, it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision or wording of this Section 3.8, including any rules of the International Chamber of Commerce, shall be invalid or unenforceable under the Delaware Arbitration Act, or other applicable law, such invalidity shall not invalidate all of this Section 3.8.  In that case, this Section 3.8 shall be construed so as to limit any term or provision so as to make it valid or enforceable within the requirements of the Delaware Arbitration Act or other applicable law, and, in the event such term or provision cannot be so limited, this Section 3.8 shall be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable provision.
		
	SECTION 3.9
	COUNTERPARTS. 


This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Copies of executed counterparts transmitted by telecopy or other electronic transmission service shall be considered original executed counterparts for purposes of this Section 3.9.

The parties shall report any A Exchange consummated hereunder, as a tax-free contribution of AOG Units pursuant to Section 721 of the Code.  The parties shall report (a) any B Exchange consummated hereunder as a taxable sale to APO Corp., APO FC, APO FC II, APO FC III and APO UK, as applicable, of AOG Units by an Apollo Principal Holder.  No party shall take a contrary position on any income tax return, amendment thereof or communication with a taxing authority unless otherwise required by applicable law.
		
	SECTION 3.11
	TAX OFFSET


Each Apollo Principal Holder that effects a B Exchange pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii) shall promptly pay to APO Corp., upon the request of APO Corp., an amount equal to the sum of its pro rata share, based on the percentage of AOG Units exchanged by such Apollo Principal Holder of the total AOG Units exchanged by all Apollo Principal Holders in such B Exchange, of (a) any increase in the U.S. federal, state and local income tax payable, or the fair value, as determined by APO Corp., of any increase in the amount of any tax attributes, including net operating losses, utilized, in any taxable period by APO Corp., as a result of income allocated to APO Corp. from any Apollo Principal Entities of which APO Corp. holds AOG Units immediately after the relevant B Exchange, but in which  APO LLC, APO FC, APO FC II, APO FC III or APO UK (or any other subsidiary of AGM)  also owns AOG Units and (b) any increase in the U.S. federal, state and local income tax payable, or the fair value, as determined by APO Corp., of any increase in the amount of tax attributes, including net operating losses, utilized, in any taxable period by APO Corp. as a result of any payments received by APO Corp. pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 3.11. Each Apollo Principal Holder may offset any payment due under this Section 3.11 by any amounts owed to such Apollo Principal Holder by APO Corp.  At the request of an Apollo Principal Holder, APO Corp. will promptly provide to the requesting Apollo Principal Holder a copy of the calculation of the amount determined to be due from the Apollo Principal Holder pursuant this Section 3.11, and to respond to reasonable questions from the requesting Apollo Principal Holder (or its advisor) regarding the calculation.  Any dispute regarding such calculation shall be resolved pursuant to Section 3.8.
		
	SECTION 3.12 
	APPLICABLE LAW. 


THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF).
