 7   (b) No Partner shall have the right to distributions or the return of any contribution to   the capital of the Partnership except (i) for distributions in accordance with Section 4.1 or   Section 6.4, or (ii) upon dissolution of the Partnership.  The entitlement to any such return at   such time shall be limited to the value of the Capital Account of the Partner. The General Partner   shall not be liable for the return of any such amounts.   Section 3.3 Capital Accounts   (a) The Partnership shall maintain for each Partner a separate Capital Account.   (b) Each Partner’s Capital Account shall have an initial balance equal to the amount   of any cash and the net value of any securities or other property constituting such Partner’s initial   contribution to the capital of the Partnership.

(d) Each Partner’s Capital Account shall be reduced by the sum of (without   duplication):   (i) the portion of any Loss allocated to such Partner’s Capital Account   pursuant to Section 3.4, plus   (ii) the amount of any cash and the net value of any property distributed to   such Partner pursuant to Section 4.1, Section 6.4 or Section 8.1 including any amount deducted   pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 5.4 from any such amount distributed, plus   (iii) any withholding taxes or other items payable by the Partnership and   allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.4(b), any increases in any reserves recorded by   the Partnership pursuant to Section 3.6, to the extent the General Partner determines that,   pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, such item is to be charged to such Partner’s Capital   Account on a basis which is not in accordance with the current respective Points of all Partners.     





 







 8   Section 3.4 Allocation of Profit and Loss   (a) Allocations of Profit. Profit for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the   Partners in proportion to their respective Points as of the close of such Fiscal Year (determined   immediately prior to any forfeiture pursuant to Section 7.1(c)).   (b) Allocations of Losses. Subject to the limitation of Section 3.4(c), Loss for any   Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective Points as of   the close of such Fiscal Year (determined immediately prior to any forfeiture pursuant to Section   7.1(c)); provided that, if a Loss is recognized by the Partnership for a Fiscal Year that is   attributable to a Portfolio Investment that gave rise to a Profit in a prior Fiscal Year that was   allocated to a Partner, including for this purpose, a former Partner (a “Prior Profit Allocation”),   then such Loss shall be allocated, in the reasonable discretion of the General Partner, among the   Partners and such former Partners who received the Prior Profit Allocation in a proportion that   takes any into account the Points that the former Partners had been assigned at the time such   Prior Profit Allocation was made to the Partners, but only up to the amount of such Prior Profit   Allocation.   (c) To the extent that the allocations of Loss contemplated by Section 3.4(b) would   cause the Capital Account of any Limited Partner to be less than zero, such Loss shall to that   extent instead be allocated to and debited against the Capital Account of the General Partner.   Following any such adjustment pursuant to Section 3.4(c) with respect to any Limited Partner,   any Profit for any subsequent Fiscal Year which would otherwise be credited to the Capital   Account of such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 3.4(a) shall instead be credited to the   Capital Account of the General Partner until the cumulative amounts so credited to the Capital   Account of the General Partner with respect to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 3.4(c) is   equal to the cumulative amount debited against the Capital Account of the General Partner with   respect to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 3.4(c).   (d) Special Allocations   (i) Qualified Income Offset.  In the event 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   each such Limited Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required   by the Treasury Regulations, the deficit balance in the Capital Account of such Partner as quickly   as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 3.4(d)(i) may be made only if   and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account after all   other allocations provided for in this Article 3 have been tentatively made as if this Section   3.4(d)(i) were not in this Agreement.  This Section 3.4(d)(i) is intended to constitute a “qualified   income offset” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii), and shall be   interpreted consistently therewith.   (ii) Gross Income Allocation.  In the event any Partner has a deficit Capital   Account at the end of any Fiscal Year that is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Partner   is obligated to restore 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     





 







 9   Regulations sections 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 3.4(d)(ii) may be made only if and   to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after   all other allocations provided for in this Article 3 have been made as if Section 3.4(d)(i) and this   Section 3.4(d)(ii) were not in this Agreement.   (iii) Other Special Allocations.  Special allocations shall be made in   accordance with the requirements set forth in the Treasury Regulations sections 1.704-2(f), (g)   and (j) (minimum gain chargeback), 1.704-2(i)(4) (partner minimum gain chargeback), 1.704-   2(i)(2) (nonrecourse deductions), and, to the extent that an election under section 754 of the   Code is in effect, 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) (section 754 adjustments).   (e) Each Limited Partner’s rights and entitlements as a Limited Partner are limited to   the rights to receive allocations and distributions of Profit expressly conferred by this Agreement   and any side letter or similar agreement entered into pursuant to Section 9.1(b) and the other   rights expressly conferred by this Agreement and any such side letter or similar agreement or   required by the Act, and a Limited Partner shall not be entitled to any other allocations,   distributions or payments in respect of its interest, or to have or exercise any other rights,   privileges or powers.   Section 3.5 Tax Allocations   (a) For United States federal, state and local income tax purposes, Partnership   income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or any item thereof) for each Fiscal Year shall be   allocated to and among the Partners in order to reflect the allocations of Profit and Loss pursuant   to Section 3.4 for such Fiscal Year, taking into account any variation between the adjusted tax   basis and book value of Partnership property in accordance with the principles of section 704(c)   of the Code.   (b) If any Partner or Partners are treated for United States federal income tax   purposes as realizing ordinary income because of receiving an interest in the Partnership   (whether under section 83 of the Code or under any similar provision of any law, rule or   regulation) and the Partnership is entitled to any offsetting deduction (net of any income realized   by the Partnership as a result of such receipt), the Partnership’s net deduction shall be allocated   to and among the Partners in such manner as to offset, as nearly as possible, the ordinary income   realized by such Partner or Partners.   Section 3.6 Reserves; Adjustments for Certain Future Events   (a) Appropriate reserves may be created, accrued and charged against Profit or Loss   for contingent liabilities, if any, as of the date any such contingent liability becomes known to   the General Partner or as of each other date as the General Partner deems appropriate, such   reserves to be in the amounts which the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate. The   General Partner may increase or reduce any such reserve from time to time by such amounts as   the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate. The amount of any such reserve, or any   increase or decrease therein, shall be proportionately charged or credited, as appropriate, to the     





 







 10   Capital Accounts of those parties who are Partners at the time when such reserve is created,   increased or decreased, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective Points at such time.   (b) If any amount is required by Section 3.6(a) to be credited to a Person who is no   longer a Partner, such amount shall be paid to such Person in cash. Any amount required to be   charged pursuant to Section 3.6(a) shall be debited against the current balance in the Capital   Account of the affected Partners. To the extent that the aggregate current Capital Account   balances of such affected Partners are insufficient to cover the full amount of the required   charge, the deficiency shall be debited against the Capital Accounts of the other Partners in   proportion to their respective Capital Account balances at such time; provided that each such   other Partner shall be entitled to a preferential allocation, in proportion to and to the extent of   such other Partner’s share of any such deficiency of any Profit that would otherwise have been   allocable after the date of such charge to the Capital Accounts of the affected Partners whose   Capital Accounts were insufficient to cover the full amount of the required charge.    Section 3.7 Finality and Binding Effect of General Partner’s Determinations   All matters concerning the determination, valuation and allocation among the Partners   with respect to any profit or loss of the Partnership and any associated items of income, gain,   deduction, loss and credit, pursuant to any provision of this Article 3, including any accounting   procedures applicable thereto, shall be determined by the General Partner, and such   determinations and allocations shall be final and binding on all the Partners.   ARTICLE 4   DISTRIBUTIONS   Section 4.1 Distributions   (a) The General Partner shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Partnership to   distribute, as promptly as practicable after receipt by the Partnership, any available cash or   property, subject to (i) the provisions of section 3.1(d) of the Fund GP Agreement, and (ii) the   retention of such reserves as the General Partner considers appropriate or necessary for purposes   of the prudent and efficient financial operation of the Partnership’s business including in   accordance with Section 3.6 hereof and for purposes of satisfying the Partnership’s anticipated   obligations under section 3.1(d) of the Fund GP Agreement.    Any such distributions shall be   made to Partners in proportion to their respective Capital Account balances until such time as the   Capital Account balance of every Partner is zero and thereafter in proportion to their respective   Points, in either case determined:   (A) in the case of any amount of cash or property received from the Fund that   is attributable to the disposition of a Portfolio Investment by the Fund, as of the date of such   disposition by the Fund; and      (B) in any other case, as of the date of receipt of such cash or property by the   Partnership.        





 







 11   (b) Any other distributions or payments in respect of the interests of Partners shall be   made at such time, in such manner and to such Partners as the General Partner shall determine.   (c) Subject to Section 4.1(d), the General Partner may cause the Partnership to pay   distributions to the Partners at any time in addition to those contemplated by Section 4.1(a) or   (b), in cash or in kind.  Distributions of any such amounts shall be made to the Partners in   proportion to their respective Points, determined immediately prior to giving effect to such   distribution.   (d) If a portion of the withdrawal proceeds of a former Limited Partner is being paid   to such Limited Partner in connection with a distribution to Limited Partners under this Section   4.1 of cash or property with respect to which such former Limited Partner received an allocation   prior to its withdrawal, such former Limited Partner’s share of such cash or property shall be   calculated for purposes of this Section 4 as if such former Limited Partner were a Limited   Partner with the number of Points such Limited Partner had been assigned as of the date of such   allocation; provided that a former Limited Partner shall not be entitled to receive an amount in   excess of its withdrawal proceeds as determined under Section 6.4(b).   Section 4.2 Withholding of Certain Amounts   (a) If the Partnership or the Fund General Partner incurs a withholding tax or other   tax obligation with respect to the share of Partnership income allocable to any Partner, then the   General Partner, without limitation of any other rights of the Partnership, may cause the amount   of such obligation to be debited against the Capital Account of such Partner when the Partnership   pays such obligation, and any amounts then or thereafter distributable to such Partner shall be   reduced by the amount of such taxes. If the amount of such taxes is greater than any such then   distributable amounts, then such Partner and any successor to such Partner’s interest shall   indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, the Fund General Partner and the General Partner   against, and shall pay to the Partnership as a contribution to the capital of the Partnership, upon   demand of the General Partner, the amount of such excess.   (b) The General Partner may withhold from any distribution or other payment to any   Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise any other amounts due from such   Limited Partner to the Partnership or the General Partner pursuant to this Agreement to the   extent not otherwise paid. Any amounts so withheld shall be applied by the General Partner to   discharge the obligation in respect of which such amounts were withheld.   Section 4.3 Limitation on Distributions   Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the   Partnership, and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, shall not make a distribution to   any Partner on account of such Partner’s interest in the Partnership if such distribution would   violate the Act or other applicable law.     





 







 12   ARTICLE 5   MANAGEMENT   Section 5.1 Rights and Powers of the General Partner   (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the General Partner shall   have complete and exclusive responsibility (i) for all management decisions to be made on   behalf of the Partnership, and (ii) for the conduct of the business and affairs of the Partnership.   (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the General Partner shall have   full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform such contracts, agreements and other   undertakings, and to engage in all activities and transactions, as it may deem necessary or   advisable for, or as may be incidental to, the conduct of the business contemplated by this   Section 5.1, including, without in any manner limiting the generality of the foregoing, contracts,   agreements, undertakings and transactions with any Partner or with any other Person having any   business, financial or other relationship with any Partner or Partners.

The General Partner is hereby authorized   to enter into the documents described in the preceding sentence on behalf of the Partnership, but   such authorization shall not be deemed a restriction on the power of the General Partner to enter   into other documents on behalf of the Partnership. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein   or as required by law, all powers and authority vested in the General Partner by or pursuant to   this Agreement or the Act shall be construed as being exercisable by the General Partner in its   sole and absolute discretion.   (c) The General Partner shall be the “tax matters partner” for purposes of section   6231(a)(7) of the Code.  Each Partner agrees not to treat, on such Partner’s United States federal   income tax return or in any claim for a refund, any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit   in a manner inconsistent with the treatment of such item by the Partnership.  The General Partner   shall have the exclusive authority to make any elections required or permitted to be made by the   Partnership under any provisions of the Code or any other revenue laws.   Section 5.2 Delegation of Duties   (a) Subject to Section 5.1, the General Partner may delegate to any Person or Persons   any of the duties, powers and authority vested in it hereunder on such terms and conditions as it   may consider appropriate.   (b) Any Person who is a Limited Partner and to whom the General Partner delegates   any of its duties pursuant to this Section 5.2 or any other provision of this Agreement shall be   subject to the same standard of care, and shall be entitled to the same rights of indemnification   and exoneration, applicable to the General Partner under and pursuant to Section 5.7, unless such   Person and the General Partner mutually agree to a different standard of care or right to   indemnification and exoneration to which such Person shall be subject.     





 







 13   (c) The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to enter into an arrangement with   the Management Company which arrangement shall require the Management Company to pay   all costs and expenses of the Partnership.   Section 5.3 Transactions with Affiliates   To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the General Partner (or any Affiliate of   the General Partner), when acting on behalf of the Partnership, is hereby authorized to (a)   purchase property from, sell property to, lend money to or otherwise deal with any Affiliates, any   Partner, the Partnership, the Fund General Partner, the Fund or any Affiliate of any of the   foregoing Persons, and (b) obtain services from any Affiliates, any Partner, the Partnership, the   Fund General Partner, the Fund or any Affiliate of the foregoing Persons.   Section 5.4 Expenses   (a) Subject to the arrangement contemplated by Section 5.2(c), the Partnership will   pay, or will reimburse the General Partner for, all costs and expenses arising in connection with   the organization and operations of the Partnership.     (b) Any withholding taxes payable by the Partnership or the Fund General Partner, to   the extent determined by the General Partner to have been paid or withheld on behalf of, or by   reason of particular circumstances applicable to, one or more but fewer than all of the Partners,   shall be allocated among and debited against the Capital Accounts of only those Partners on   whose behalf such payments are made or whose particular circumstances gave rise to such   payments in accordance with Section 4.2.   Section 5.5 Rights of Limited Partners   (a) Limited Partners shall have no right to take part in the management or control of   the Partnership’s business, nor shall they have any right or authority to act for the Partnership or   to vote on matters other than as set forth in this Agreement or as required by applicable law.   (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the General Partner shall have   the full and exclusive authority, without the consent of any Limited Partner, to compromise the   obligation of any Limited Partner to make a capital contribution or to return money or other   property paid or distributed to such Limited Partner in violation of the Act.   (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall entitle any Partner to any compensation for   services rendered to or on behalf of the Partnership as an agent or in any other capacity, except   for any amounts payable in accordance with this Agreement.   Section 5.6 Other Activities of Partners   (a) Subject to the Fund LP Agreement and to full compliance with the code(s) of   ethics of Apollo Global Management, LLC and its Affiliates and other written policies relating to   personal investment transactions, membership in the Partnership shall not prohibit a Partner from   purchasing or selling as a passive investor any interest in any asset.     





 







 14   (b) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the General Partner from engaging in   any activity other than acting as General Partner hereunder.   Section 5.7 Duty of Care; Indemnification   (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the General Partner and its Affiliates and   their respective partners, members, managers, shareholders, officers, directors, employees and   associates and, with the approval of the General Partner, any agent of any of the foregoing   (including their respective executors, heirs, assigns, successors or other legal representatives)   (each, a “Covered Person” and collectively, the “Covered Persons”), shall not be liable to the   Partnership or 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, except to the extent that 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 is due to an act or omission of such a Covered Person that   constituted a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair   dealing.    (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 it   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 a   Partner or by reason of serving or having served, at the request of the Fund General Partner, as a   director, officer, consultant, advisor, manager, member or partner of any enterprise in which the   Fund has or had a financial interest, including issuers of Portfolio Investments; 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 such Covered Person’s acts or its   failure to act (i) constituted a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith   and fair dealing, or (ii) were of a nature that makes indemnification by the Fund unavailable.    The right to indemnification granted by this Section 5.7 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 5.7, 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 5.7.  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     





 







 15   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 5.7 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 Article 5 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 Article 5.  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   Article 5.   (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 to   the Partnership or the Partners, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and   liabilities of such Covered Person.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this   Agreement or otherwise applicable provision of law or equity, to the maximum extent permitted   by the Act, a Covered Person shall owe no duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Partnership   or the Partners other than those specifically set forth herein; provided that a Covered Person shall   have the duty to act in accordance with the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair   dealing.   (d) Each of the Covered Persons may consult with legal counsel, accountants and   other experts selected by it and any act or omission suffered or taken by it on behalf of the   Partnership or in furtherance of the interests of the Partnership or the Fund in good faith in   reliance upon and in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or other experts   shall create a rebuttable presumption of the good faith and due care of such Covered Person with   respect to such act or omission.   ARTICLE 6   ADMISSIONS, TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS   Section 6.1 Admission of Additional Limited Partners; Effect on Points     The General Partner may at any time admit as an additional Limited Partner any   Person who has agreed to be bound by this Agreement, assign Points to such Person and/or   increase the Points of any existing Limited Partner.  Each additional Limited Partner shall   execute either a counterpart to this Agreement or a separate instrument evidencing, to the   satisfaction of the General Partner, such Limited Partner’s intent to become a Limited Partner   and shall be admitted as a Limited Partner upon such execution. In connection with such     





 







 16   admission or increase in Points of any Partner (but not with respect to an assignment of Excess   Points), the Points of APH shall be reduced in an amount determined by the General Partner.   Section 6.2 Admission of Additional General Partner and Transfer   (a) The General Partner may admit one or more additional general partners at any   time without the consent of any Limited Partner.  Any additional general partner shall be   admitted as a general partner upon its execution of a counterpart signature page to this   Agreement.   (b) The General Partner may Transfer its general partner interest in the Partnership to   any other Person, without the consent of any Limited Partner.   Section 6.3 Transfer of Interests of Limited Partners   (a) No Transfer of any Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership, whether   voluntary or involuntary, shall be valid or effective, and no transferee shall become a substituted   Limited Partner, unless the prior written consent of the General Partner has been obtained, which   consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its discretion. In the event of any   Transfer, all of the conditions of the remainder of this Section 6.3 must also be satisfied.   (b) A Limited Partner requesting approval of a Transfer, or such Partner’s legal   representative, shall give the General Partner reasonable notice before the proposed effective   date of any requested Transfer, and shall provide sufficient information to allow legal counsel   acting for the Partnership to make the determination that the proposed Transfer will not:   (i) require registration of the Partnership or any interest therein under any   securities or commodities laws of any jurisdiction;   (ii) result in a termination of the Partnership under section 708(b)(1)(B) of the   Code or jeopardize the status of the Partnership as a partnership for United States federal income   tax purposes; or   (iii) violate, or cause the Partnership, the Fund, the Fund General Partner, the   General Partner or any Limited Partner to violate, any applicable law, rule or regulation of any   jurisdiction.    Such notice must be supported by proof of legal authority and a valid instrument of   assignment acceptable to the General Partner.   (c) A permitted transferee shall be entitled to the allocations and distributions   attributable to the interest in the Partnership transferred to such transferee and to Transfer such   interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that such transferee shall not   be entitled to the other rights of a Limited Partner as a result of such transfer until it becomes a   substituted Limited Partner.  No transferee may become a substituted Limited Partner except   with the prior written consent of the General Partner (which consent may be given or withheld by   the General Partner in its discretion). Such transferee shall be admitted to the Partnership as a   substituted Limited Partner upon execution of a counterpart of this Agreement or such other     





 







 17   instrument evidencing, to the satisfaction of the General Partner, such Limited Partner’s intent to   become a Limited Partner.  Notwithstanding the above, the Partnership and the General Partner   shall incur no liability for allocations and distributions made in good faith to the transferring   Limited Partner until a written instrument of Transfer has been received and accepted by the   General Partner and recorded on the books of the Partnership and the effective date of the   Transfer has passed.   (d) Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the   fullest extent permitted by law, any successor or transferee of any Limited Partner’s interest in   the Partnership shall be bound by the provisions hereof.  Prior to recognizing any Transfer in   accordance with this Section 6.3, the General Partner may require the transferee to make certain   representations and warranties to the Partnership and the Partners and to accept, adopt and   approve in writing all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.   (e) In the event of a Transfer or in the event of a distribution of assets of the   Partnership to any Partner, the Partnership, at the direction of the General Partner, may, but shall   not be required to, file an election under section 754 of the Code and in accordance with the   applicable Treasury Regulations, to cause the basis of the Partnership’s assets to be adjusted as   provided by section 734 or section 743 of the Code.   (f) The Partnership shall maintain books for the purpose of registering the transfer of   interests in the Partnership.  No transfer of an interest in the Partnership shall be effective until   the transfer of such interest is registered upon books maintained for that purpose by or on behalf   of the Partnership.    Section 6.4 Withdrawal of Partners   (a) A Limited Partner shall cease to be a Partner and be deemed to have withdrawn   its interest in the Partnership:    (i) automatically upon any date (and with immediate effect from such date)   on which such Limited Partner (or, in the case of a Limited Partner that was admitted to the   Partnership by virtue of its relationship with an employee of Apollo Global Management, LLC   or one of its Affiliates, such employee) ceases to be employed (for any reason, including, but not   limited to, death, disability, resignation or a termination for cause or other than for cause) by   Apollo Global Management, LLC or one of its Affiliates (unless otherwise determined by the   General Partner);   (ii) automatically upon any date (and with immediate effect from such date)   on which such Limited Partner ceases to hold any Points; provided that no such automatic   withdrawal shall occur with respect to a forfeiture of Points pursuant to Section 7.1(c) where   such Limited Partner receives an allocation of Points for the immediately following Fiscal Year;   or   (iii) upon a date specified in a notice delivered by such Limited Partner to the   General Partner stating that such Limited Partner elects to withdraw from the Partnership.     





 







 18   (b) Payment of a withdrawing Limited Partner’s withdrawal proceeds (being an   amount equal to the balance of such Limited Partner’s capital account as of the effective date of   withdrawal as adjusted for any Loss allocable to such withdrawn Limited Partner pursuant to   Section 3.4(b)) will generally be made at the same time as such amounts would have been   distributed to such Limited Partner under Section 4.1 had such Limited Partner not withdrawn   from the Partnership; provided that the General Partner may (i) delay such payment if such delay   is reasonably necessary to prevent such withdrawal from having a material adverse impact on the   Partnership, the Fund, the Fund General Partner or the remaining Partners, and (ii) hold back   from any payments such reserves as the General Partner determines to be necessary or   appropriate, including, without limitation, as provided in Section 4.1(b) and Section 6.4(c).    Amounts withdrawn by a Partner will not be adjusted as a result of audit adjustments made after   the final payment date relating to the applicable withdrawal and will not earn interest for the   period from the applicable withdrawal date through the settlement date.  The General Partner   may deduct from any withdrawal proceeds due to any Partner an amount representing the actual   or estimated expenses of the Partnership associated with processing the withdrawal and any other   amounts owed by the withdrawing Partner to the General Partner or its Affiliates whether under   this Agreement or otherwise.      (c) The right of any Partner to withdraw or receive distributions pursuant to this   Section 6.4 is subject to the provision by the General Partner for all liabilities of the Partnership   and for reserves for contingencies as provided in Section 3.6 (including, in either case, for the   Partnership’s anticipated obligations under section 3.1(d) of the Fund GP Agreement).   (d) A former Partner shall remain liable to make capital contributions to the   Partnership pursuant to Section 3.1(c) and Section 4.2(a), notwithstanding that such Person may   have withdrawn from the Partnership and ceased to be a Partner.   Section 6.5 Pledges   (a) A Limited Partner shall not pledge or grant a security interest in such Limited   Partner’s interest in the Partnership unless the prior written consent of the General Partner has   been obtained (which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner).   (b) Each limited partner interest in the Partnership shall constitute a “security” within   the meaning of, and governed by, (i) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code (including   section 8-102(a)(15) thereof) as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware (the   “DEUCC”), and (ii) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable   jurisdiction that now or hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8 thereof as   adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on   Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on February 14, 1995.    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any provision   of this Agreement is inconsistent with any non-waivable provision of Article 8 of the DEUCC,   such provision of Article 8 of the DEUCC shall be controlling.   (c) Any limited partner interest in the Partnership may be evidenced by a certificate   of limited partnership interest issued by the Partnership in such form as the General Partner may     





 







19   approve.  Every certificate representing a limited partner interest in the Partnership shall bear a   legend substantially in the following form:    “The limited partner interest represented by this certificate shall constitute a “security”   within the meaning of, and governed by, (i) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code   (including section 8-102(a)(15) thereof) as in effect from time to time in the State of   Delaware, and (ii) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable   jurisdiction that now or hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8   thereof as adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of   Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association   on February 14, 1995.  The transfer of this certificate and the limited partner interest   represented hereby is restricted as described in the limited partnership agreement of the   Partnership, dated as of July 14, 2009, as the same may be amended or restated from time   to time.”    (d) The Partnership shall maintain books for the purpose of registering the Transfer of   limited partner interests in the Partnership.  In connection with a Transfer in accordance with this   Agreement of any limited partner interests in the Partnership, the endorsed certificate(s)   evidencing such interest shall be delivered to the Partnership for cancellation, and the Partnership   shall thereupon issue a new certificate to the transferee evidencing the interest that was   transferred and, if applicable, the Partnership shall issue a new certificate to the transferor   evidencing any interest registered in the name of the transferor that was not transferred.   ARTICLE 7   POINTS   Section 7.1 Allocation of Points   (a) The aggregate number of Points assigned or available for assignment to all   Partners shall initially be 100.  The General Partner intends generally to allocate all 100 Points to   Limited Partners other than APH.   (b) Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall be responsible for   the allocation of Points from time to time to the Limited Partners. At each such time of   allocation, all Points available for allocation shall be so allocated to the Limited Partners   (including APH) by the General Partner. Points allocated to Limited Partners (other than APH)   may not be reduced except as set forth in Section 6.1 and this Article 7.  Upon any allocation of   Points (other than Excess Points) by the General Partner to an existing or new Limited Partner   other than APH, there shall be a corresponding reduction in the Points of APH, as provided in   Section 6.1.     





 







 20   (c) Points allocated to a Limited Partner other than APH shall be allocated for a   specific Fiscal Year only.  Such Limited Partner’s Points shall automatically be forfeited as of   the close of such Fiscal Year, unless otherwise determined by the General Partner.   (d) The General Partner shall maintain on the books and records of the Partnership a   record of the number of Points allocated to each Limited Partner and shall give notice to each   Limited Partner of the number of such Limited Partner’s Points upon admission to the   Partnership of such Limited Partner and as soon as reasonably practicable upon any change in   such Limited Partner’s Points.   Section 7.2 Effect of Withdrawal on Points   (a) The Points of any Limited Partner that withdraws or is deemed to have withdrawn   from the Partnership shall be forfeited, as of the effective date of such Limited Partner’s   withdrawal or deemed withdrawal, unless otherwise determined by the General Partner.   (b) Any Points that are forfeited pursuant to Section 7.1(c) or Section 7.2(a) shall,   automatically and without any action on the part of any Person, be reallocated to APH, unless   otherwise determined by the General Partner; and no Limited Partner other than APH shall have   any right or claim with respect to such forfeited Points.   Section 7.3 Points as Profits Interests   (a) Except to the extent not permitted by law, the Partnership and each Limited   Partner agree to treat Points as “profits interests” within the meaning of U.S. Internal Revenue   Service Revenue Procedure (“Rev. Proc”). 93-27, 1993-2 C.B. 343.  Except to the extent not   permitted by law, in accordance with Rev. Proc. 2001-43, 2001-2 C.B. 191, the Partnership shall   treat each Limited Partner as the holder of Points from the issue date of such Points, and shall   file its Partnership tax return, and issue appropriate Schedules K-1 to such Limited Partner,   allocating to such Limited Partner its distributive share of all items of income, gain, loss,   deduction and credit associated with such Points and each such Limited Partner agrees to take   into account such distributive share in computing such Limited Partner’s U.S. federal income tax   liability for the entire period during which such Limited Partner holds such Points.  Except as   required pursuant to a “Determination” as defined in section 1313(a) of the Code, the Partnership   and each Limited Partner agree not to claim a deduction (as wages, compensation or otherwise)   for the fair market value of any Points issued to a Limited Partner at the time of issuance of the   Points.  The undertakings contained in this Section 7.3(a) shall be construed in accordance with   section 4 of Rev. Proc. 2001-43.  Except to the extent not permitted by law, the provisions of this   Section 7.3(a) shall apply regardless of whether the Limited Partner files an election pursuant to   section 83(b) of the Code.   (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, the General Partner shall have   the discretion to vary the allocations of Profit and Loss and the distributions pursuant to this   Agreement to the extent necessary to ensure that the issuance of Points to a Limited Partner does   not result, in the General Partner’s discretion, in a taxable capital shift (unless the General   Partner otherwise intends) to such Limited Partner, including by treating as additional Profit or   Loss for the taxable period and by allocating such Profit and Loss to the Limited Partners other     





 







 21   than the Limited Partner receiving the Points, any unrealized appreciation or deprecation in the   Partnership’s assets as of the time the Points are issued.   ARTICLE 8   DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION   Section 8.1 Dissolution and Liquidation of Partnership   (a) Upon dissolution of the Partnership in accordance with the Act, the General   Partner shall liquidate the business and administrative affairs of the Partnership, except that, if   the General Partner is unable to perform this function, a liquidator may be elected by a majority   in interest (determined by Points) of Limited Partners and upon such election such liquidator   shall liquidate the Partnership. Profit and Loss during the Fiscal Years that include the period of   liquidation shall be allocated pursuant to Section 3.4. The proceeds from liquidation shall be   distributed in the following manner:   (i) first, the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership including the   expenses of liquidation (including legal and accounting expenses incurred in connection   therewith), up to and including the date that distribution of the Partnership’s assets to the   Partners has been completed, shall be satisfied (whether by payment or by making reasonable   provision for payment thereof); and   (ii) thereafter, the Partners shall be paid amounts pro rata in accordance with   and up to the positive balances of their respective Capital Accounts, as adjusted pursuant to   Article 3.   (b) Anything in this Section 8.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, the General Partner   or liquidator may distribute ratably in kind rather than in cash, upon dissolution, any assets of the   Partnership in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.1(a); provided that if any in   kind distribution is to be made, the assets distributed in kind shall be valued as of the actual date   of their distribution and charged as so valued and distributed against amounts to be paid under   Section 8.1(a).   ARTICLE 9   GENERAL PROVISIONS   Section 9.1 Amendment of this Agreement   (a) The General Partner may amend this Agreement at any time, in whole or in part,   without the consent of any other Partner; provided that any amendment which would increase the   obligation of any Partner to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership or adversely   affect such Partner’s right to withdraw voluntarily from the Partnership shall not be made unless   such Partner has, at the General Partner’s election, (i) consented thereto, or (ii) been provided   with an opportunity to withdraw from the Partnership as of a date determined by the General   Partner that is prior to the effective date of the amendment.  Without limiting the foregoing, the     





 







 22   General Partner may amend this Agreement at any time, in whole or in part, without the consent   of any other Partner, to enable the Partnership to comply with the requirements of the “Safe   Harbor” Election within the meaning of the Proposed Revenue Procedure of Notice 2005-43,   2005-24 IRB 1, Proposed Treasury Regulation section 1.83-3(e)(1) or Proposed Treasury   Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(4)(xii) at such time as such proposed Procedure and Regulations   are effective and to make any such other related changes as may be required by pronouncements   or Treasury Regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service or Treasury Department after the   date of this Agreement.  An adjustment of Points shall not be considered an amendment to the   extent effected in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1 or Article 7 as in effect on the   date hereof or as hereafter amended in compliance with the requirements of this Section 9.1(a).   (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 9.1(a), it is   hereby acknowledged and agreed that the General Partner on its own behalf or on behalf of the   Partnership without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person may enter into one   or more side letters or similar agreements with one or more Limited Partners which have the   effect of establishing rights under, or altering or supplementing the terms of this Agreement.    The parties hereto agree that any terms contained in a side letter or similar agreement with one or   more Partners shall govern with respect to such Partner or Partners notwithstanding the   provisions of this Agreement.  Any such side letters or similar agreements shall be binding upon   the Partnership or the General Partner, as applicable, and the signatories thereto as if the terms   were contained in this Agreement.   Section 9.2 Special Power-of-Attorney   (a) Each Partner hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the General   Partner with full power of substitution, the true and lawful representative and attorney-in-fact,   and in the name, place and stead of such Partner, with the power from time to time to make,   execute, sign, acknowledge, swear to, verify, deliver, record, file and/or publish:   (i) any amendment to this Agreement which complies with the provisions of   this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 9.1);    (ii) all such other instruments, documents and certificates which, in the   opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership, may from time to time be required by the laws of the   United States of America, the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction, or any political   subdivision or agency thereof, or which such legal counsel may deem necessary or appropriate to   effectuate, implement and continue the valid and subsisting existence and business of the   Partnership as a limited partnership;    (iii) any written notice or letter of resignation from any board seat or office of   any Person (other than a company that has a class of equity securities registered under the   Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or that is registered under the Investment   Company Act of 1940, as amended), which board seat or office was occupied or held at the   request of the Partnership or any of its Affiliates; and   (iv) all such proxies, consents, assignments and other documents as the   General Partner determines to be necessary or advisable in connection with any merger or other     





 







 23   reorganization, restructuring or other similar transaction entered into in accordance with this   Agreement (including the provisions of Section 9.5(c)).   (b) Each Limited Partner is aware that the terms of this Agreement permit certain   amendments to this Agreement to be effected and certain other actions to be taken or omitted by   or with respect to the Partnership without such Partner’s consent.  If an amendment of the   Certificate or this Agreement or any action by or with respect to the Partnership is taken by the   General Partner in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, each Limited Partner agrees   that, notwithstanding any objection which such Limited Partner may assert with respect to such   action, the General Partner is authorized and empowered, with full power of substitution, to   exercise the authority granted above in any manner which may be necessary or appropriate to   permit such amendment to be made or action lawfully taken or omitted. Each Partner is fully   aware that each other Partner will rely on the effectiveness of this special power-of-attorney with   a view to the orderly administration of the affairs of the Partnership. This power-of-attorney is a   special power-of-attorney and is coupled with an interest in favor of the General Partner and as   such:   (i) shall be irrevocable and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding   the subsequent death or incapacity of any party granting this power-of-attorney, regardless of   whether the Partnership or the General Partner shall have had notice thereof; and   (ii) shall survive any Transfer by a Limited Partner of the whole or any   portion of its interest in the Partnership, except that, where the transferee thereof has been   approved by the General Partner for admission to the Partnership as a substituted Limited   Partner, this power of attorney given by the transferor shall survive such Transfer for the sole   purpose of enabling the General Partner to execute, acknowledge and file any instrument   necessary to effect such substitution.   Section 9.3 Notices   Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing. A   notice to the General Partner shall be directed to the attention of John J. Suydam. A notice to a   Limited Partner shall be directed to such Limited Partner’s last known residence as set forth in   the books and records of the Partnership or its Affiliates (a Limited Partner’s “Home Address”).    A notice shall be considered given when delivered to the addressee either by hand at such   Partner’s Partnership office or electronically to the primary e-mail account supplied by the   Partnership for Partnership business communications, except that a notice to a former Partner   shall be considered given when delivered by hand by a recognized overnight courier together   with mailing through the United States Postal System by regular mail to such former Partner’s   Home Address.   Section 9.4 Agreement Binding Upon Successors and Assigns   This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and   their respective successors by operation of law, but the rights and obligations of the Limited   Partners hereunder shall not be assignable, transferable or delegable except as expressly provided

Section 9.5 Merger, Consolidation, etc.   (a) Subject to Sections 9.5(b) and 9.5(c), the Partnership may merge or consolidate   with or into one or more limited partnerships formed under the Act or other business entities (as   defined in section 17-211 of the Act) pursuant to an agreement of merger or consolidation which   has been approved by the General Partner.   (b) Subject to Section 9.1(a) but notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary   contained elsewhere in this Agreement, an agreement of merger or consolidation approved in   accordance with Section 9.5(a) may, to the extent permitted by section 17-211(g) of the Act and   Section 9.5(a), (i) effect any amendment to this Agreement, (ii) effect the adoption of a new   limited partnership agreement for the Partnership if it is the surviving or resulting limited   partnership in the merger or consolidation, or (iii) provide that the limited partnership agreement   of any other constituent limited partnership to the merger or consolidation (including a limited   partnership formed for the purpose of consummating the merger or consolidation) shall be the   limited partnership agreement of the surviving or resulting limited partnership.   (c) The General Partner may require one or more of the Limited Partners to sell,   exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of their interests in the Partnership in connection with   any such transaction, and each Limited Partner shall take such action as may be directed by the   General Partner to effect any such transaction.   Section 9.6 Governing Law   This Agreement, and the rights of each and all of the Partners hereunder, shall be   governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard   to conflict of laws rules thereof.

Section 9.8 Confidentiality   (a) Each Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that the information contained in   the books and records of the Partnership concerning the Points assigned with respect to any other   Limited Partner is confidential, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each   Limited Partner waives, and covenants not to assert, any claim or entitlement whatsoever to gain   access to any such information. The Limited Partners agree that the restrictions set forth in this   Section 9.8(a) shall constitute reasonable standards under the Act regarding access to   information.   (b) Each Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees not to, at any time, either during   the term of such Limited Partner’s participation in the Partnership or thereafter, disclose, use,   publish or in any manner reveal, directly or indirectly, to any Person (other than on a confidential   basis to such Limited Partner’s legal and tax advisors who have a need to know such   information) the contents of this Agreement or any Confidential Information, except (i) with the   prior written consent of the General Partner, (ii) to the extent that any such information is in the   public domain other than as a result of the Limited Partner’s breach of any of his obligations, or   (iii) where required to be disclosed by court order, subpoena or other government process;   provided that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Limited Partner shall promptly notify the   General Partner upon becoming aware of any such disclosure requirement and shall cooperate   with any effort by the General Partner to prevent or limit such disclosure.   (c) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Section 9.8, each Limited Partner   may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax   structure of an investment in the Partnership and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions   or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Limited Partner relating to such tax treatment. For   this purpose, “tax treatment” is the purported or claimed United States federal income tax   treatment of a transaction and “tax structure” is limited to any fact that may be relevant to   understanding the purported or claimed United States federal income tax treatment of a   transaction.
