 DISTRIBUTIONS

 Section 4.01. Distributions. 
 (a) Prior to an Initial Offering, all distributions of Distributable Cash shall be made, at the discretion of the General Partner, in the
following order of priority 
 (i) first, to APO Corp., until the cumulative amount distributed in the aggregate by the
Apollo Operating Group to APO Corp. or APO LLC, as applicable, equals any principal amount of the Issuer Convertible Notes then due; 
 (ii) second, to APO Corp., until the cumulative amount distributed in the aggregate by the Partnership and the other APO Corp. Subsidiary Partnerships, collectively, equals the APO Corp. Distribution Amount; 
 (iii) third, to the Limited Partners pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests, until the cumulative amount
distributed in the aggregate by the Partnership and the other APO Corp. Subsidiary Partnerships, collectively, equals the product of (x) a fraction, the numerator being the number of Operating Group Units outstanding minus the number of
Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Issuer Convertible Notes and the denominator being the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Issuer Convertible Notes and (y) the amount described in clause (a) of the
definition of APO Corp. Distribution Amount; provided, that for purposes of this clause (iii) the number of Operating Group Units deemed to be owned by APO Corp. and APO LLC (in the aggregate) shall be reduced by the number of
Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of all outstanding Issuer 

  

 11 








 
Convertible Notes and the number of Class A Shares issuable in the Initial Offering (the intent of this provision being that APO Corp. shall not
participate in any distributions pursuant to this clause (iii) if no Class A Shares are actually outstanding prior to the Initial Offering); and 
 (iv) fourth, to the Limited Partners pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests; provided, that the amount attributable to net income earned by the Partnership with respect to
Fiscal Year 2007 for the period prior to the Closing Date shall be distributed to the Limited Partners other than APO Corp. and their respective transferees pro rata (which net income shall be calculated by multiplying (x) the aggregate
amount of net income earned by the Partnership with respect to Fiscal Year 2007 by (y) a fraction, the numerator being the number of days that elapsed from and including January 1, 2007 to but excluding the Closing Date and the denominator
being 365); provided, further, if the Partnership and the other APO Corp. Subsidiary Partnerships, collectively, do not have sufficient funds to fully satisfy the APO Corp. Distribution Amount, then amounts otherwise distributable pursuant to
this Section 4.01(a)(iv) shall not be distributed to the Limited Partners unless either (x) after giving pro-forma effect to such distribution, there is no payment default of the Issuer Convertible Notes or (y) the consent of the
Noteholders has been given. It is understood that net income earned with respect to Fiscal Year 2007 may not be determinable or paid until Fiscal Year 2008. 
 (b) Immediately following an Initial Offering, all distributions of Distributable Cash shall be made, at the discretion of the General
Partner, to the Limited Partners pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests; provided, that: 
 (i) amounts attributable to net income earned by the Partnership with respect to Fiscal Year 2007 for the period prior to the Closing Date shall be distributed to the Limited Partners other than APO Corp. and their respective transferees
(which net income shall be calculated by multiplying (x) the aggregate amount of net income earned by the Partnership with respect to Fiscal Year 2007 by (y) a fraction, the numerator being the number of days that elapsed from and
including January 1, 2007 and to but excluding Closing Date and the denominator being 365), it being understood that net income earned with respect to Fiscal Year 2007 may not be determinable or paid until Fiscal Year 2008; and 
 (ii) amounts attributable to net income earned by the Partnership with respect to Fiscal Year 2007 for the period from and after the
Closing Date but prior to the Offering Date shall be distributed to the Limited Partners immediately prior to Offering Date pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests prior the Offering Date (which net income shall be
calculated by multiplying (x) the aggregate amount of net income earned by the Partnership with respect to Fiscal Year 2007 by (y) a fraction, the numerator being the number of days that elapsed from and including the Closing Date and to
but excluding the Offering Date and the denominator being 365), it being understood that net income earned with respect to Fiscal Year 2007 may not be determinable or paid until Fiscal Year 2008; and 
 (iii) the distribution required pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(iii) shall be made before the application of this subsection (b).

 (c) Tax Distributions. 
  

 12 








 (i) In addition to the foregoing, if the General Partner reasonably determines that the
taxable income of the Partnership for a Fiscal Year will give rise to taxable income for the Partners (“Net Taxable Income”), the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute Available Cash in respect of income tax
liabilities (the “Tax Distributions”) to the extent that other distributions made by the Partnership 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(c). The Tax Distributions payable with respect to any Fiscal Year shall be computed based upon the
General Partner’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 Partners, whether or not they are subject to such applicable U.S. federal, state and local taxes, pro rata in accordance with their Participation
Percentages. 
 (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 General Partner shall make an amended calculation of the Tax
Amount for such Fiscal Year (the “Amended Tax Amount”), and shall cause the Partnership to distribute a Tax Distribution, out of Available Cash, to the extent that the Amended Tax Amount so calculated exceeds the cumulative Tax
Distributions previously made by the Partnership in respect of such Fiscal Year. If the Amended Tax Amount is less than the cumulative Tax Distributions previously made by the Partnership 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 Partnership files a tax return on Form 1065, the
General Partner shall make a final calculation of the Tax Amount of such Fiscal Year (the “Final Tax Amount”) and shall cause the Partnership to distribute a Tax Distribution, out of Available 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(c) for purposes of the computations herein. 
 Section 4.02. Liquidation Distribution. Distributions
made upon dissolution of the Partnership 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 General Partner shall not make a Partnership distribution to any Partner if such distribution would violate Section 17-607 of the Act or other
applicable Law.

 ARTICLE V 
 CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS; 
 TAX ALLOCATIONS; TAX MATTERS 
 Section 5.01. Initial Capital Contributions. The Partners have made, on or prior to the date hereof, Capital Contributions and have
acquired the number of Class A Units as specified in the books and records of the Partnership. 
 Section 5.02. No
Additional Capital Contributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Article V, no Partner shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership without the consent of such Partner or permitted to make additional
capital contributions to the Partnership without the consent of the General Partner. 
 Section 5.03. Capital Accounts. A separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) shall be established and maintained for each Partner in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). The Capital Account of each Partner shall be credited with such Partner’s Capital Contributions, if any, all Profits allocated to such Partner 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 Partner pursuant to Section 5.04, any items of loss or deduction of the Partnership specially allocated to such Partner pursuant to
Section 5.05, and all cash and the Carrying Value of any property (net of liabilities assumed by such Partner and the- liabilities to which
such property is subject) distributed by the Partnership to such Partner. Any references in any section of this Agreement to the Capital Account of a Partner 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 Partnership 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. 
 Section 5.04. Allocations of Profits and Losses. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, Profits and Losses (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain or loss or deduction of the Partnership) shall be allocated in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Partner 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 Partnership were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for
cash equal to their Carrying Value, all Partnership 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 Partnership were distributed
to the Partners pursuant to this Agreement, minus (ii) such Partner’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the General Partner 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 partner’s interest in the Partnership, and in no event
will APO Corp. be allocated Profits and Losses (or items thereof) attributable to any carried interest on private equity Funds related to either carry generating transactions that have closed prior to the Closing Date or carry generating
transactions in which a definitive agreement has been executed prior to the Closing Date, but such carry generating transaction has not yet closed. 
  

 14 








 Section 5.05. Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article
V: 
 (a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain or Partner 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 Partnership taxable year, the Partners shall be specially allocated items of Partnership 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 Partner 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 Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the deficit balance in such Partner’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 Partner 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 Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Partner is obligated to restore, if any, pursuant to any provision of
this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Partner 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 Partner shall be specially allocated
items of Partnership 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 Partner 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 Partners in accordance with their respective
Percentage Interests. 
 (e) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period
shall be allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the liability to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(j). 
  

 15 








 (f) Creditable Non-U.S. Taxes. Creditable Non-U.S. Taxes for any taxable period
attributable to the Partnership, or an entity owned directly or indirectly by the Partnership, shall be allocated to the Partners in proportion to the partners’ distributive shares of income (including income allocated pursuant to
Section 704(c) of the Code) to which the Creditable Non-U.S. Tax relates (under principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.904-6). The provisions of this Section 5.07(f) are intended to comply with the provisions of Temporary
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1T(b)(4)(xi), 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 Partner shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Partner 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 Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as the corresponding items of Profits and Losses and specially allocated items 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 U.S. 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 General Partner 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 General Partner 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 partner’s interest in the
Partnership. 
 Section 5.07. Tax Advances. To the extent the General Partner reasonably believes that the Partnership is
required by law to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Partner or the Partnership is subjected to tax itself by reason of the status of any Partner (“Tax Advances”), the General Partner may withhold
such amounts and make such tax payments as so required. All Tax Advances made on behalf of a Partner shall be repaid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such
Partner or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Partner. For all purposes of this Agreement such Partner shall be treated as having received the amount of
the distribution that is equal to the Tax Advance. Each Partner hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership and the other Partners 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 Partnership’s failure to withhold or make a tax payment on behalf of such Partner 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 Partner pursuant to Section 4.01(c)) with respect to income attributable to or distributions or other payments to such Partner.

 Section 5.08. Tax Matters. The General Partner shall be the initial “tax matters partner” within the
meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (the “Tax Matters Partner”). The Partnership shall file as a partnership for federal, state, provincial and local income tax purposes, 
  

 16 








 except where otherwise required by Law. All elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership, and all other
tax decisions and determinations relating to federal, state, provincial or local tax matters of the Partnership, shall be made by the Tax Matters Partner, in consultation with the Partnership’s attorneys and/or accountants. Tax audits,
controversies and litigations shall be conducted under the direction of the Tax Matters Partner. The Tax Matters Partner shall keep the other Partners reasonably informed as to any tax actions, examinations or proceedings relating to the Partnership
and shall submit to the other Partners, 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 Partnership. As soon as reasonably practicable after the end
of each Fiscal Year, the Partnership shall send to each Partner a copy of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Schedule K-1, and any comparable statements required by applicable U.S. state or local income tax Law as a result of the Partnership’s
activities or investments, with respect to such Fiscal Year. The Partnership also shall provide the Partners with such other information as may be reasonably requested for purposes of allowing the Partners to prepare and file their own tax returns.
The Partnership 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
Partnership for federal income tax purposes to account for the varying interests of the Partners 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 General Partner if the General Partner
believes such amendment is advisable, so long as any such amendment does not materially change the relative economic interests of the Partners. Furthermore, the General Partner 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 Partnerships assets hereunder. 
 ARTICLE VI

REPORTS

purpose reasonably related to such Limited Partner’s interest as a Limited Partner in the Partnership, upon reasonable written demand stating the purpose of such demand and at such Limited Partner’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 pursuant to which the Certificate and this Agreement and all amendments thereto have been executed; and 
  

 17 








 (ii) promptly after their becoming available, copies of the Partnership’s federal,
state and local income tax returns and reports, if any, for the three most recent years. 
 (c) The General Partner may keep
confidential from the Limited Partners, for such period of time as the General Partner determines in its sole discretion, (i) any information that the General Partner reasonably believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or (ii) other
information the disclosure of which the General Partner believes is not in the best interests of the Partnership, could damage the Partnership or its business or that the Partnership is required by law or by agreement with any third party to keep
confidential. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 PARTNERSHIP UNITS 
 Section 7.01. Units. Interests in the Partnership shall be represented by Units. The
Units initially are comprised of one Class: Class A Units. The General Partner may establish, from time to time in accordance with such procedures as the General Partner shall determine from time to time, other Classes, one or more series of
any such Classes, or other Partnership securities with such designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties (which may be senior to existing Classes and series of Units or other Partnership securities), as shall be determined by the General
Partner, including (i) the right to share in Profits and Losses or items thereof; (ii) the right to share in Partnership distributions; (iii) the rights upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; (iv) whether, and the

“Units” shall include the Class A 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. Register. The register of the Partnership
shall be the definitive record of ownership of each Unit and all relevant information with respect to each Partner. Unless the General Partner shall determine otherwise, Units shall be uncertificated and recorded in the books and records of the

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. Limited Partner
Transfers. 
 (a) Except as provided in clauses (b) and (c), of this Section 8.01, no Limited Partner or
Assignee thereof may Transfer (including by exchanging in an Exchange Transaction) all or any portion of its Units or other interest in the Partnership (or beneficial interest therein) without the prior consent of the General Partner, 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 General Partner may require) as are determined by the General Partner, in each case in the
General Partner’s sole discretion. Any such determination in the General Partner’s discretion in respect of Units shall be final and binding. Such determinations need not be uniform and may be made selectively among Limited Partners,
whether or not such Limited Partners 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) Notwithstanding
clause (a) above, and subject to Section 8.03, each Limited Partner may exchange or otherwise Transfer Units in an Exchange Transaction pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement. In the case of an Transfer of Units in connection with
an Exchange Transaction, the Percentage Interests of the Limited Partners shall be appropriately adjusted to provide for, as applicable, a decrease in the number of Units owned by the Exchanging Limited Partner and an increase in the number of Units
owned by APO Corp. 
 (c) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, and subject to Section 8.04, each Limited Partner that
is a party to a Roll-up Agreement may exchange or otherwise Transfer Units pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof. 
 Section 8.02. Encumbrances. No Limited Partner or Assignee may create an Encumbrance with respect to all or any portion of its Units (or any beneficial interest therein) other than Encumbrances that run in favor of the
Limited Partner unless the General Partner consents in writing thereto, which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject to such conditions as are determined by the General Partner, in the General Partner’s sole discretion. Consent of
the General Partner 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 Limited Partner or Assignee if: 
 (a) such Transfer is made to any Person who
lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own such Unit; 
  

 19 








 (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 not cause (i) all or any portion of the assets of the Partnership to (A) constitute “plan assets” (under ERISA, the Code or any applicable Similar Law) of any existing or contemplated Limited Partner, or (B) be subject
to the provisions of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable Similar Law, or (ii) the General Partner to become a fiduciary with respect to any existing or contemplated Limited Partner, pursuant to ERISA, any applicable Similar
Law, or otherwise; 
 (d) to the extent requested by the General Partner, the Partnership 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 General Partner, as
determined in the General Partner’s sole discretion or 
 (e) such Transfer would create a substantial risk that the
Partnership would be classified or otherwise treated other than as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 
 Section 8.04. Rights of Assignees. Subject to 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 Partner 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 Partner, such other rights, and all obligations relating to, or in connection with, such Interest remaining with the transferring Partner. The transferring Partner will remain a Partner 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 Partnership as a Partner pursuant to Section 8.05. 
 Section 8.05. Admissions, Withdrawals and Removals. 
 (a) No Person may be admitted to the
Partnership as an additional General Partner or substitute General Partner without the prior written consent or ratification of Partners whose Percentage Interests exceed 50% of the Percentage Interests of all Partners in the aggregate. A General
Partner will not be entitled to Transfer all of its Units or to withdraw from being a General Partner of the Partnership unless another General Partner shall have been admitted hereunder (and not have previously been removed or withdrawn).

 (b) No Limited Partner will be removed or entitled to withdraw from being a Partner of the Partnership except in accordance
with Section 8.07 hereof. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided in Article IX or the Act, no admission, substitution,
withdrawal or removal of a Partner will cause the dissolution of the Partnership. 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.

  

 20 








 Section 8.06. Admission of Assignees as Substitute Limited Partners. An Assignee will
become a substitute Limited Partner only if and when each of the following conditions is satisfied: 
 (a) the General Partner
consents in writing to such admission, which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject to such conditions as are determined by the General Partner, in each case in the General Partner’s sole discretion; 
 (b) if required by the General Partner, the General Partner 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 Limited Partner) that are in a form satisfactory to the General Partner (as determined in its sole discretion); 
 (c) if required by the General Partner, the General Partner receives an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the General Partner to the
effect that such Transfer is in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable Law; and 
 (d) if required by the General
Partner, the parties to the Transfer, or any one of them, pays all of the Partnership’s reasonable expenses connected with such Transfer (including, but not limited to, the reasonable legal and accounting fees of the Partnership). 

Section 8.07. Withdrawal and Removal of Limited Partners. If a Limited Partner ceases to hold any Units, then such Limited Partner
shall withdraw from the Partnership and shall cease to be a Limited Partner and to have the power to exercise any rights or powers of a Limited Partner. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION 
 Section 9.01. No Dissolution. Except as required by the Act, the Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of additional
Partners or withdrawal of Partners in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Partnership may be dissolved, liquidated wound up and terminated only pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX, and the Partners hereby irrevocably waive any
and all other rights they may have to cause a dissolution of the Partnership or a sale or partition of any or all of the Partnership assets. 
 Section 9.02. Events Causing Dissolution. The Partnership shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the occurrence of any of the following events: 
 (a) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership under Section 17-802 of the Act upon the finding by a court of
competent jurisdiction that the General Partner (i) is permanently incapable of performing its part of this Agreement, (ii) has been guilty of conduct that is calculated to affect prejudicially the carrying on of the business of the
Partnership, (iii) willfully or persistently commits a breach of this Agreement or (iv) conducts itself in a manner relating to the Partnership or its business such that it is not reasonably practicable for the other Partners to carry on
the business of the Partnership with the General Partner; 
  

 21 








 (b) any event which makes it unlawful for the business of the Partnership to be carried
on by the Partners; 
 (c) the written consent of all Partners; 
 (d) any other event not inconsistent with any provision hereof causing a dissolution of the Partnership under the Act; 
 (e) the Incapacity or removal of the General Partner or the occurrence of a Disabling Event with respect to the General Partner;
provided that the Partnership will not be dissolved or required to be wound up in connection with any of the events specified in this Section 9.02(e) if: (1) at the time of the occurrence of such event there is at least one other
general partner of the Partnership who is hereby authorized to, and elects to, carry on the business of the Partnership; or (ii) all remaining Limited Partners consent to or ratify the continuation of the business of the Partnership and the
appointment of another general partner of the Partnership, effective as of the event that caused the General Partner to cease to be a general partner of the Partnership, within 120 days following the occurrence of any such event, which consent shall
be deemed (and if requested each Limited Partner shall provide a written consent or ratification) to have been given for all Limited Partners if the holders of more than 50% of the Units then outstanding agree in writing to so continue the business
of the Partnership. 
 Section 9.03. Distribution upon Dissolution. 
 (a) Upon dissolution, the Partnership shall not be terminated and shall continue until the winding up of the affairs of the Partnership is
completed. Upon the winding up of the Partnership, the General Partner, or any other Person designated by the General Partner (the “Liquidation Agent”), shall take full account of the assets and liabilities of the Partnership and
shall, unless the General Partner determines otherwise, liquidate the assets of the Partnership as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof. The proceeds of any liquidation shall be applied and distributed in the following
order: 
 (b) First, to the satisfaction of debts and liabilities of the Partnership (including satisfaction of all
indebtedness to Partners 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 Partnership (“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; and 
 (c) The balance, if any, to the Partners, pro rata to each of the Partners 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 Partnership and the discharge of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Liquidation Agent to minimize the losses attendant upon such liquidation. 
  

 22 








 Section 9.05. Termination. The Partnership shall terminate when all of the assets of
the Partnership, after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership, shall have been distributed to the holders of Units in the manner provided for in this Article IX, and the Certificate shall have been
cancelled in the manner required by the Act. 
 Section 9.06. Claims of the Partners. The Partners shall look solely to
the Partnership’s assets for the return of their Capital Contributions, and if the assets of the Partnership remaining after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership are insufficient to return
such Capital Contributions, the Partners shall have no recourse against the Partnership or any other Partner or any other Person. No Partner with a negative balance in such Partner’s Capital Account shall have any obligation to the Partnership
or to the other Partners or to any creditor or other Person to restore such negative balance during the existence of the Partnership, upon dissolution or termination of the Partnership 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 11.09 shall survive the termination of the Partnership. 
 ARTICLE X 
 LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION 
 Section 10.01. Liability of Partners. 
 (a) No Limited Partner shall be liable for any debt,
obligation or liability of the Partnership or of any other Partner or have any obligation to restore any deficit balance in its Capital Account solely by reason of being a Partner of the Partnership, 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 Partners (including
without limitation, the General Partner) hereto or on their respective Affiliates. Further, the Partners 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 Partnership are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement and those required by the Act. 
 (c) To the extent that, at law or in equity, any Partner (including without limitation, the General Partner) has duties (including
fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or to another Partner, the Partners (including without limitation, the General Partner) acting under this Agreement will not be liable to the Partnership or to any such other
Partner for their good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities relating thereto of any Partner (including without limitation, the
General Partner) otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace to that extent such other duties and liabilities of the Partners relating thereto (including without limitation, the General Partner). 
  

 23 








 (d) The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants and financial or
other advisors and any act or omission suffered or taken by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or in furtherance of the interests of the Partnership 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 General Partner 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. 
 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise applicable
provision of law or equity, whenever in this Agreement the General Partner is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, such
General Partner shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any
interest of or factors affecting the Partnership or the Limited Partners, or (ii) in its “good faith” or under another expressed standard, such General Partner shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any
other or different standards. 
 Section 10.02. Indemnification. 
 (a) The General Partner (including, without limitation, for this purpose each former and present director, officer, consultant, advisor,
manager, member, employee and stockholder of the General Partner) and each Limited Partner (including any former Limited Partner), in his capacity, as such, and to the extent such Limited Partner participates, directly or indirectly, in the
Partnership’s activities (each, a “Covered Person” and collectively, the “Covered Persons”) shall not be liable to the Partnership or, to the extent applicable, to any of the other Partners 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 Partnership and that failed to satisfy
the duty of care owed pursuant to the Partnership or as otherwise required by law. 
 (b) A Covered Person shall be
indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law by the Partnership 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 Partner or its activities on behalf of the Partnership, 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 General
Partner 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 Partnership or any of its affiliates has or had a financial interest;
provided that the Partnership 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 

  

 24 








 
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 Partnership 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 Partnership to recover expenses advanced pursuant to the terms of an undertaking the Partnership 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 Partnership (or any Limited Partner acting derivatively or otherwise on behalf of the Partnership or the Limited Partners). The
General Partner 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 Partnership (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds and
rights pursuant to indemnification agreements), and no Partner shall be personally liable with respect to any such claim for indemnity or reimbursement. The General Partner 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 Partnership to secure the Partnership’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 Partnership or the Partners, the Covered Person shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. 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 Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of each such Covered Person.

 ARTICLE XI
