SC1:3479243.8

incorporated or not, among or involving any Partnership Unit Holder or its Affiliates and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating or requiring any continuing relationship or commitment as between such parties other than as specifically set forth herein.

ARTICLE II Partnership Units

2.1. General Provisions with Respect to Partnership Units.

(a) Each Partnership Unit Holder’s interest in the Partnership, including such Partnership Unit Holder’s interest, if any, in the capital, income, gain, loss, deduction and expense of the Partnership and the right to vote, if any, on certain Partnership matters as provided in this Agreement, shall be represented by Partnership Units. Subject to Section 2.2, the Partnership shall have six authorized classes of Partnership Units, designated GP Units, Preferred Units, Class A Common Units, Class B Common Units, Class D Common Units and Class E Common Units.

Except as provided in Sections 6.1(e), 6.2 and 11.2, each Partnership Unit shall represent an identical interest in the Profits of the Partnership. Each Person issued any LP Unit by the Partnership shall automatically be deemed admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner in respect of such LP Unit upon the issuance of such LP Unit to such Person.

-3-

SC1:3479243.8

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, other than as provided for in Sections 11.1 and 11.2(d), the occurrence of the Preferred Units Preference Condition shall not affect the rights of the Preferred Unit Holders as a class of holders under this Agreement.

(f) To the extent the Partnership is required, in respect of any distribution of cash or other property or allocation of income to or otherwise with respect to a Partnership Unit Holder’s interest in the Partnership, to withhold or deduct or pay any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature, the amount so withheld or deducted or paid shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have been distributed or allocated to or otherwise with respect to such Partnership Unit Holder in respect of its interest in the Partnership.

2.2. Issuance of Additional Partnership Units. Subject to Sections 12.1 and 14.9, the General Partner shall have the right to authorize and cause the Partnership to issue on such terms (including price) as may be determined by the General Partner (i) subject to the limitations set forth in Article III, additional Partnership Units, including preferred units (in addition to Preferred Units) or other classes or series of units having such rights, preferences and privileges as determined by the General Partner, and (ii) obligations, evidences of indebtedness or other securities or interests convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Partnership Units. Subject to Sections 12.1 and 14.9, the General Partner shall have the power to amend this Agreement in order to provide for such powers, designations, preferences and rights as the General Partner in its discretion deems necessary or appropriate to give effect to such additional authorization or issuance in accordance with this Section 2.2.

ARTICLE III Exchanges; Issuances of Additional Partnership Units;
Reclassifications, Subdivisions and Additional Issuances

3.1. Exchanges.

(c) Upon the exchange by any Common Unit Holder of Common Units for shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, as of the effective date of such exchange, the Partnership shall cancel any Common Units so exchanged and for each Common Unit so exchanged issue one GP Unit to the General Partner.

(d) Upon the exchange by any Preferred Unit Holder of Preferred Units for shares of Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, as of the effective date of such exchange, the Partnership shall record the transfer of each Preferred Unit so exchanged to the General Partner.

(f) The General Partner shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock, Class C Common Stock and Convertible Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class C Common Stock and Convertible Preferred Stock as shall be deliverable upon (i) any exchange contemplated by this Section 3.1, (ii) any conversion contemplated by Section 3.2, or (iii) any issuance of Class C Common Stock contemplated by Section 3.3.

3.2. Conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock; Exchange of Preferred Units. Upon the conversion of any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation of APAM, the General Partner shall exchange a corresponding number of Preferred Units held by it for a number of GP Units equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued to such holder upon such conversion.

3.3. Termination of Class B Common Unit Holder’s Employment. In the case of a Class B Common Unit Holder who is an employee of, or who provides services to or on behalf of, the Partnership or an Affiliate thereof, upon the termination of the performance of services of such Class B Common Unit Holder (a “Terminated Employee-Partner”) for any reason, each vested Class B Common Unit held by such Terminated Employee-Partner at the time of termination shall automatically be exchanged for a Class E Common Unit and such Class B Common Unit shall be cancelled for no other consideration.

For the avoidance of doubt, vesting of Class B Common Units shall be governed by grant agreements between each Class B Common Unit Holder and the Partnership.

3.4. Issuance of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.

(a) Upon the issuance by the General Partner of any shares of Class A Common Stock (including, without limitation, in connection with any public or private offering or any compensation plan), the General Partner shall:

(i) with respect to any number of shares of Class A Common Stock so issued for cash, transfer the net proceeds of such issuance to (x) one or more Limited Partners in exchange for a number of LP Units equal to such number of shares of Class A Common Stock; or (y) apply the net proceeds of such issuance to purchase shares of its Convertible Preferred Stock, which shares shall be cancelled immediately upon their delivery to the General Partner;

-5-

SC1:3479243.8

(ii) with respect to all such shares of Class A Common Stock issued for cash, the proceeds of which are not applied in accordance with clause (i), contribute the net proceeds of such issuance to the Partnership in exchange for a number of newly issued GP Units equal to such number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued; or

(iii) except as provided in Section 3.4(b) with respect to the conversion, exercise or exchange of any security or other instrument into or for shares of Class A Common Stock, with respect to all shares of Class A Common Stock not issued for cash, cause the Partnership to issue to it a number of GP Units equal to such number of shares of Class A Common Stock so issued.

(c) At any time the Partnership issues a Class B Common Unit, the General Partner shall issue a share of Class B Common Stock to the recipient of such Class B Common Unit. Upon the forfeiture of any Class B Common Unit, the General Partner shall automatically redeem and cancel the corresponding share of Class B Common Stock.

3.5. Subdivision or Combination.

(a) The General Partner shall not in any manner effect any Subdivision or Combination of any of its Class A Common Stock, and the Partnership shall not in any manner effect any Subdivision or Combination of GP Units unless the GP Units or the shares of Class A Stock are subdivided or combined, as the case may be, into an identical number of units or shares.

-6-

SC1:3479243.8

(c) The Partnership shall not in any manner effect any Subdivision or Combination of Preferred Units unless the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are subdivided or combined in equal proportion to such Subdivision or Combination.

(d) So long as any Preferred Units are outstanding, the Partnership shall not in any manner effect any Subdivision or Combination of any (i) GP Units unless the Preferred Units are subdivided or combined in equal proportion to such Subdivision or Combination, and (ii) Preferred Units unless the GP Units are subdivided or combined in equal proportion to such Subdivision or Combination.

3.6. Issuance of Additional General Partner Securities.

ARTICLE IV Capital Contributions

4.1. Capital Contributions. Each Partnership Unit Holder as of the Effective Time shall be deemed to have contributed to the capital of the Partnership the amounts set forth opposite each Partnership Unit Holder’s name in the Capital Account Register as of the Effective Time.

4.2. Return of Capital. The General Partner shall have no personal liability for the repayment of the Capital Contribution of any Limited Partner or for repayment to the Partnership of any portion of any negative balance in any Partnership Unit Holder’s Capital Account. Nothing in this Section 4.2 shall be construed to limit the General Partner’s liability to

-7-

SC1:3479243.8

creditors of the Partnership. No Partnership Unit Holder shall be paid interest on any Capital Contributions or on such Partnership Unit Holder’s Capital Account.

4.3. Additional Capital Contributions. No Partnership Unit Holder shall be required, or have the right, to make any additional Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership which are not specified herein (except as may be required by law).

ARTICLE V Capital Accounts

5.1. Capital Accounts. There shall be maintained for each Partnership Unit Holder a Capital Account in accordance with the following:

(a) Credits. Each Partnership Unit Holder’s Capital Account shall be credited with (increased by) such Partnership Unit Holder’s Capital Contributions, any income or gain allocated to such Partnership Unit Holder pursuant to Section 7.1, and the amount of any liabilities or indebtedness of the Partnership that is assumed by such Partnership Unit Holder or that is secured by any property distributed to such Partnership Unit Holder.

(b) Debits. Each Partnership Unit Holder’s Capital Account shall be debited with (reduced by) the amount of cash and the Fair Market Value of any property distributed to such Partnership Unit Holder (except to the extent a distribution is treated as a “guaranteed payment” under Section 707(c) of the Code), any expenses or losses allocated to such Partnership Unit Holder pursuant to Section 7.1, and the amount of any liabilities or indebtedness of such Partnership Unit Holder that is assumed by the Partnership or that is secured by any property contributed by such Partnership Unit Holder to the Partnership.

(c) Revaluations.

(i) Allocation of Net Gain Generally. If immediately prior to any Revaluation Event (x)(I) the aggregate Revaluation Capital Account balances in respect of all of the Preferred Unit Holders (disregarding the portion of the General Partner’s Revaluation Capital Account attributable to GP Units) at such time is at least equal to the product of the Preferred Unit Preference Amount multiplied by the number of Preferred Units outstanding at such time or (II) the Preferred Unit Holders are no longer entitled to preferential distributions with respect to either Partial Capital Events pursuant to Section 6.2 or upon dissolution or liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to Section 11.2(d) and (y) the Revaluation Capital Account balance in respect of any Partnership Unit Holder is less than the amount equal to the aggregate Revaluation Capital Account balances of all Partnership Unit Holders multiplied by the Percentage Interest of such Partnership Unit Holder (such difference, in respect of such Partnership Unit Holder, a “Capital Account Shortfall”), the amount of net gain in connection with

-8-

SC1:3479243.8

such Revaluation Event allocated with respect to: (1) a Common Unit Holder will equal (A) the net gain in connection with the Revaluation Event minus the GP Revaluation Event Allocable Gain multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Unit Shortfall with respect to the Common Unit Holder and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Shortfall; and (2) the General Partner will equal the GP Revaluation Event Allocable Gain; provided that no gain shall be allocated pursuant to this clause (i) to the extent it would cause the Revaluation Capital Account balance in respect of any Common Unit Holder to be greater than the amount equal to the aggregate Revaluation Capital Account balances of all Partnership Unit Holders multiplied by the Percentage Interest of such Partnership Unit Holder immediately after the Revaluation Event. For the avoidance of doubt, any remaining amount of net gain in connection with such Revaluation Event following the foregoing allocation shall be allocated among the Partnership Unit Holders pursuant to Section 7.1.

(ii) Allocation of Net Loss Generally. If immediately prior to any Revaluation Event (and after allocating net loss pursuant to Section 5.1(c)(iii), if applicable) any Common Unit Holder has a Capital Account Shortfall, the amount of net loss in connection with such Revaluation Event allocated with respect to (1) a Common Unit Holder will equal (x) the net amount of loss to be allocated in connection with the Revaluation Event (after application of Section 5.1(c)(iii), if applicable) minus the GP Revaluation Event Allocable Loss multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Unit Surplus with respect to the Common Unit Holder and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Surplus; and (2) the General Partner will equal the GP Revaluation Event Allocable Loss.

(iii) Priority Allocation of Net Loss to Preferred Unit Holders. From and after the time, if any, at which the Preferred Unit Holders are no longer entitled to preferential distributions with respect to either Partial Capital Events pursuant to Section 6.2 or upon dissolution or liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to Section 11.2(d), if and to the extent any Common Unit Holder has a Capital Account Shortfall immediately prior to any Revaluation Event, (x) an amount of net gain in connection with such Revaluation Event, if any, shall be allocated pursuant to Section 5.1(c) (i), and (y) an amount of net loss in connection with such Revaluation Event, if any, equal to the Preferred Unit Loss Allocation will be allocated to the Preferred Unit Holders on a pro rata basis until (and only until) the Revaluation Capital Account balance in respect of each Preferred Unit Holder is equal to the aggregate Revaluation Capital Account balances of all Partnership Unit Holders multiplied by the Percentage Interest of such Preferred Unit Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, any remaining amount of net loss in connection with such Revaluation Event following the allocation in foregoing subclause (y) shall be allocated pursuant to Section 5.1(c)(ii).

-9-

SC1:3479243.8

(d) Transfers. In the event any Limited Partner Transfers or exchanges all or any portion of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units in accordance with this Agreement or the Exchange Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred LP Units.

(e) Treasury Regulations. The Partnership shall maintain the Capital Accounts in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).

5.2. Capital Account Register. The Capital Accounts of the Partnership Unit Holders as of the Effective Time shall be set forth in the Capital Account Register. After the Effective Time, the General Partner shall maintain and periodically update the Capital Account Register in accordance with the terms hereof. The Capital Account Register shall be conclusive and binding upon the Partnership Unit Holders as the calculation of each Partnership Unit Holder’s Capital Account absent manifest error by the General Partner, except that the General Partner shall make any adjustments necessary to permit delivery of the opinions referred to in Section 8.3(a).

5.3. Interpretation. The provisions of Section 5.1 and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Section 1.704-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith (including the rules set forth in the Treasury Regulations for determining the items and amounts of income, gain, loss and deduction to be taken into account for Capital Account purposes). In the event the General Partner determines that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto (including, without limitation, debits or credits relating to debt that is secured by contributed or distributed property or that is assumed by the Partnership or the Partnership Unit Holders), are computed in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations or any successor thereto, the General Partner may make such modification provided that it is unlikely to have a material effect on the amounts distributable to any Partnership Unit Holder.

ARTICLE VI Distributions

6.1. Current Distributions.

(a) Current Tax Distributions. To the extent permitted by law and consistent with the Partnership’s obligations to its creditors as reasonably determined by the General Partner, the Partnership shall make tax distributions on or before the Tax Distribution Dates, provided that except as provided in Section 6.1(c), no tax distributions shall be made to any Partnership Unit Holder in respect of any event that would give rise to a distribution under Sections 6.2 or 11.2(d). The aggregate amount of the tax distribution made with respect to any given Tax Distribution Date shall be the product of (i) the estimated federal taxable income of the Partnership under the provisions of the Code, as though the Partnership were an individual, for the portion of the Fiscal Period ending on the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding the

-10-

SC1:3479243.8

Tax Distribution Date and commencing on the first day of the calendar month that includes the immediately preceding Tax Distribution Date, multiplied by (ii) the Tax Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Partnership has had an estimated federal taxable loss for any prior Fiscal Period in that Fiscal Year, the amount in clause (i) above shall be reduced by that portion of the loss remaining after reducing taxable income for prior Fiscal Periods in such Fiscal Year for the loss. Each Partnership Unit Holder shall receive a tax distribution proportional with the amount of federal taxable income to be allocated to such Partnership Unit Holder pursuant to Section 7.2; provided that no tax distributions shall be made to a Partnership Unit Holder in respect of (x) any amounts distributed to such Partnership Unit Holder and treated as a “guaranteed payment” under Section 707(c) of the Code or (y) any allocations of gross income to such Partnership Unit Holder pursuant to Section 6 of Appendix B.

(b) Additional Tax Distributions. In the event any income tax return of the Partnership, as a result of an audit or otherwise, reflects items of income, gain, loss or deduction which are different from the amounts estimated for each Partnership Unit Holder pursuant to Section 6.1(a) with respect to the Fiscal Period of such return in a manner that results in additional income or gain of the Partnership being allocated to all or some of the Partnership Unit Holders, then to the extent permitted by law and consistent with the Partnership’s obligations to its creditors as reasonably determined by the General Partner, an additional tax distribution shall be made under the principles of Section 6.1(a) to each Partnership Unit Holder to whom such additional income or gain is allocated, except that (i) the last day of the calendar month in which such adjustment occurs shall be treated as a Tax Distribution Date and (ii) the amount of such additional income or gain shall be treated as the federal taxable income of the Partnership. All additional tax distributions made to any Partnership Unit Holder pursuant to this Section 6.1(b) shall be treated as an advance against future distributions by the Partnership to such Partnership Unit Holder pursuant to Sections 6.1(d) and 6.2 and clauses (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) of Section 11.2(d), and all distributions to such Partnership Unit Holder pursuant to Sections 6.1(d) and 6.2 and clauses (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) of Section 11.2(d) shall be reduced by the amount of any such tax distributions advanced to such Partnership Unit Holder prior to or on the date of such distribution that have not previously been taken into account to reduce the amount of distributions pursuant to such aforementioned provisions.

(c) Special Tax Distributions. Where the anticipated federal, state and local taxes required to be paid by a Partnership Unit Holder in respect of its distributive share of the income and gain attributable to a Partial Capital Event exceed the cash distributions to any Partnership Unit Holder (the “Distributee Partner”) pursuant to Section 6.2 for such Partial Capital Event (such excess amount, the “PCE Tax Shortfall”), the Partnership shall make an additional tax distribution, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.1(a), to the Distributee Partner in the amount equal to the PCE Tax Shortfall (“Special Tax Distribution”). The Special Tax Distribution shall be taken from the cash that would otherwise be distributed to the Preferred Unit Holders under Section 6.2(a); provided that in no event shall the Preferred Unit Holders receive, in the

-11-

SC1:3479243.8

aggregate, cash in an amount equal to less than the product of (A) their aggregate Percentage Interest at the time of the relevant Partial Capital Event and (B) the aggregate net proceeds of the relevant Partial Capital Event. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, all subsequent distributions to the Distributee Partner (other than Tax Distributions) shall be made to the Preferred Unit Holders until the Special Tax Distribution has been repaid to the Preferred Unit Holders.

(d) Other Current Distributions. Distributions, other than those made pursuant to Section 6.2 or Section 11.2, may be declared by the General Partner out of funds legally available therefor in such amounts and on such terms (including the payment dates of such distributions) as the General Partner shall determine and shall be made to the Partnership Unit Holders as of the close of business on such record date as the General Partner shall determine on a pro rata basis in accordance with each Partnership Unit Holder’s Percentage Interest as of the close of business on such record date; provided that the General Partner shall have the obligation to make the distributions set forth in Sections 6.1(a), (b) and (c) and Sections 6.2 and 11.2; and provided, further, that, notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, no distributions shall be made to any Partnership Unit Holder or former Partnership Unit Holder to the extent such distribution would render the Partnership insolvent or would otherwise violate the Act. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, insolvency shall mean the inability of the Partnership to meet its payment obligations when due. Promptly following the designation of a record date and the declaration of a distribution pursuant to this Section 6.1(d), the General Partner shall give notice to each Partnership Unit Holder of the record date, the amount and terms of the distribution and the payment date thereof.

(e) Bonus Make-Whole Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each distribution after the Effective Time otherwise made and allocable pursuant to Section 6.1(d), Section 6.2 or Section 11.2(d)(iii) (i) to a Contributing Partner shall be reduced by such Contributing Partner’s Bonus Responsible Share and (ii) to a Non-Contributing Partner shall be increased by such Non-Contributing Partner’s Bonus Make-Whole Amount, provided that the maximum amount a Non-Contributing Partner may receive with respect to LP Units held at the Effective Time pursuant to this Section 6.1(e) shall equal such Non-Contributing Partner’s Bonus Make-Whole Share as of the Effective Time.

6.2. Distributions in connection with a Partial Capital Event. So long as any Preferred Units shall remain outstanding, the General Partner shall promptly, and in any event within 20 days following the occurrence of a Partial Capital Event, notify the Partnership Unit Holders in writing that such Partial Capital Event has occurred and the amount of distributions, if any, to be distributed to such Partnership Unit Holder pursuant to this Section 6.2, and within 60 days after the completion of any Partial Capital Event, distribute the net proceeds thereof to the Partnership Unit Holders as of the close of business on such record date (which shall be reasonably proximate to the time of distributions pursuant to this Section 6.2) as the General Partner shall determine as follows:

-12-

SC1:3479243.8

(a) First, until the occurrence of the Preferred Units Preference Condition, whereupon all distributions in respect of Partial Capital Events shall be made in the manner described in Section 6.2(b) and (c), subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(c), 60% to the Preferred Unit Holders (in proportion to their respective Capital Accounts as of the record date) and 40% to the Other Unit Holders (in proportion to their respective Capital Accounts as of the record date), until the amount distributed on each Preferred Unit in respect of all Partial Capital Events equals the Preferred Unit Preference Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Preferred Unit Holders may decline all or any portion of a distribution to be made pursuant to this Section 6.1(a) by giving written notice to the General Partner within 10 days after receiving notice that a Partial Capital Event has occurred.

(b) Second, in the event that cash has been distributed pursuant to Section 6.2(a) and prior distributions pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) have not fully satisfied the Partnership’s obligations under this Section 6.2(b) in respect of such distributions under Section 6.2(a), 100% to the Other Unit Holders, until the cumulative amount of all distributions to the Other Unit Holders made pursuant to Section 6.2(a) and this Section 6.2(b) in respect of all Partial Capital Events since the Effective Time equals the amount such Other Unit Holders would have received from all such distributions had each such distribution been made in accordance with the Partnership Unit Holders’ respective Percentage Interests at the time of such distributions. Distributions to the Other Unit Holders pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) shall be in proportion to their respective Capital Accounts as of the record date for such distribution. Distributions made pursuant to Section 6.2(a) and this Section 6.2(b) (including advances, if any, on such distributions pursuant to Section 6.1) shall not exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to the quotient of (i) the product of (x) the Preferred Unit Preference Amount multiplied by (y) the number of Preferred Units outstanding at the time of the initial distribution pursuant to Section 6.2(a) divided by (ii) the aggregate Percentage Interest of the Preferred Unit Holders at the time of the initial distribution pursuant to Section 6.2(a).

(c) Third, to the Partnership Unit Holders in proportion to their respective Capital Accounts as of the record date, provided that if in respect of any Partial Capital Event no distribution is required pursuant to Section 6.2(a) or (b), no distribution shall be required in respect of such Partial Capital Event.

6.3. Liquidating Distribution. In the event the Partnership is liquidated pursuant to Article XI, liquidating distributions shall be made pursuant to Section 11.2(d).

6.4. Nature of Distributions. Other than distributions pursuant to Sections 6.1(a), 6.1(b) and 6.1(c), which shall be made in cash, and Section 6.3, which shall be made as set forth in Section 11.2(d), subject to Section 12.1(a)(iii), the Partnership may make distributions in kind; provided that, in the event of any such in-kind distribution, all recipients of such distribution shall receive the same general form of consideration.

6.5. Restrictions on Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Partnership, and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership,

-13-

SC1:3479243.8

shall not make a distribution to any Partnership Unit Holder on account of its Partnership Units or other interest in the Partnership to the extent that such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable law.

ARTICLE VII Allocation of Items of Income, Gain, Loss and Deduction for Capital Account Purposes

7.1. Capital Account Allocations. Except as provided in Section 5.1(c) and Appendix B hereto, for Capital Account purposes, all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Partnership Unit Holders in accordance with their Percentage Interests, provided that:

(a) if and to the extent the allocation of any loss or deduction to the Preferred Unit Holders would cause the Capital Account balance in respect of any Preferred Unit outstanding at the time to fall below the sum of (i) until the occurrence of the Preferred Units Preference Condition, the Preferred Unit Preference Amount, (ii) any Pre-IPO Accrued and Undistributed Profits allocated to such Preferred Unit and (iii) any Post-IPO Accrued and Undistributed Profits allocated to such Preferred Unit, the allocation of such loss or deduction otherwise allocable to the Preferred Unit Holders will instead be allocated to the Other Unit Holders having positive Capital Account balances in proportion to their Percentage Interests, provided that no losses or deductions shall be allocated pursuant to this Section 7.1(a) to any Other Unit Holder if and to the extent such allocation would cause the Capital Account balance in respect of any GP Unit or Common Unit outstanding at the time to fall below the sum of (i) any Pre-IPO Accrued and Undistributed Profits allocated to such Partnership Unit and (ii) any Post-IPO Accrued and Undistributed Profits allocated to such Partnership Unit, and

(b) to the extent any distributions are adjusted pursuant to Section 6.1(e) or returned pursuant to the Unit and Share Purchase Agreement, an amount of income that otherwise would have been allocated to Contributing Partners whose distributions were reduced or returned shall instead be allocated in an amount equal to such reduction or return to Non-Contributing Partners whose distributions were increased.

7.2. Tax Allocations. For federal, state and local income tax purposes, items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated to the Partnership Unit Holders in accordance with the allocations of the corresponding items for Capital Account purposes under Section 7.1, except that items with respect to which there is a difference between tax basis and Carrying Value will be allocated in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑1(b)(4)(i).

7.3. Guaranteed Payments. Any payment of salary, bonus or taxable fringe benefits made by the Partnership or its Subsidiaries to a Partnership Unit Holder shall be treated as a “guaranteed payment” under Section 707(c) of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt,

-14-

SC1:3479243.8

distributions to the Preferred Unit Holders shall not be treated as “guaranteed payments” under Section 707(c) of the Code.

ARTICLE VIII

8.1. Books and Records. The General Partner, at the Partnership’s cost and expense, shall maintain or cause to be maintained accurate books and records of the Partnership and each Subsidiary at the principal place of business of the General Partner or such other place as the General Partner shall reasonably determine. Such books and records shall be open to the inspection of each Partnership Unit Holder in person or by its duly authorized representatives at such place during regular business hours within a reasonable time after receipt of a written request for such inspection. Any expense for any inspection (including any copying of such records) shall be borne by the Partnership Unit Holder causing such inspection to be conducted.

(a) Annual Report. Within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, (i) an annual report containing the audited consolidated financial statements of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries prepared in accordance with GAAP and accompanied by a report thereon containing the opinion of an independent accounting firm (the “Audited Financial Statements”), and (ii) an opinion or opinions from the independent accounting firm in connection with the preparation of the Audited Financial Statements as to (A) the GAAP capital accounts of the Preferred Unit Holders having been maintained in accordance with applicable law and the terms of this Agreement and (B) such Preferred Unit Holders’ GAAP capital account balance as of the end of such Fiscal Year.

(b) Tax Return Information. Within 82 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, information necessary (or reasonably requested by a Partnership Unit Holder) as a result of the Partnership Unit Holder’s investment in the Partnership for the preparation by the Partnership Unit Holders of their income tax returns.

8.4. Investment of Partnership Funds. All funds of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries shall be either (i) deposited in the name of the Partnership or the applicable Subsidiary in such accounts as shall be designated by the General Partner or (ii) invested at the General Partner’s discretion. Withdrawals therefrom shall be made solely by such officers of the Partnership or of the applicable Subsidiary, as applicable, or other duly appointed individuals as the General Partner may designate.

8.5. Tax Matters Partner. The General Partner shall be the “tax matters partner,” as that term is defined in Code Section 6231(a)(7) (the “Tax Matters Partner”) with all of the rights, duties and powers provided for in Code Sections 6221 through 6232, inclusive. The Tax Matters Partner, as an authorized representative of the Partnership, shall direct the defense of any claims made by the Internal Revenue Service to the extent that such claims relate to the adjustment of Partnership items at the Partnership level and, in connection therewith, may retain and pay the fees and expenses of counsel and other advisors chosen by the Tax Matters Partner from Partnership funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tax Matters Partner shall require the consent of the General Partner and the holders of a majority of the Class A Common Units, the Class B Common Units, the Class D Common Units and the Preferred Units, each voting as a separate class, on matters that materially adversely affect the allocation of the basis step-up in the Partnership assets under Sections 734 and 743 of the Code; provided, however, that any such allocation shall be made only in accordance with all provisions of the Code, and any other law (federal, state or local), the regulations thereunder and any administrative guidance issued by any regulatory authority. The General Partner shall promptly deliver to each Limited Partner a copy of all notices and communications with respect to income or similar taxes received from the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority relating to the Partnership which might materially adversely affect such Limited Partners, and consult with, and consider in good faith the recommendation of any such materially and adversely affected Preferred Unit Holder in respect of the defense of any claim. All expenses of the Tax Matters Partner (including reasonable disbursements) and other fees and expenses in connection with such defense shall be borne by the Partnership. Neither the Tax Matters Partner nor the Partnership shall be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties payable by a Partnership Unit Holder or any costs of separate counsel chosen by such Partnership Unit Holder to represent the Partnership Unit Holder with respect to any aspect of such challenge.

(v) employ such persons, firms or corporations and fix their reasonable compensation as may be necessary for the preparation of the Partnership’s financial statements, tax returns and reports and to carry on the business and accomplish the purposes of the Partnership;

The General Partner, as determined by its board of directors, may delegate to its officers or to the officers of the Partnership any of the foregoing authority, rights and powers.

9.2. Liability to Partnership Unit Holders and Partnership. In the absence of fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, neither the General Partner nor any officers or directors of the General Partner shall be liable to the Partnership Unit Holders or the Partnership for (i) any mistake in judgment or (ii) any action or inaction taken or omitted in the course of performing its duties under this Agreement or in connection with the business of the Partnership. In addition, neither the General Partner nor any officers or directors of the General Partner shall be liable to the Partnership Unit Holders or the Partnership for any loss due to the mistake, negligence, dishonesty, fraud or bad faith of any employee, broker or other agent of the Partnership selected by the General Partner without willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the General Partner or such officer or director.

9.3. Indemnification.

(a) The General Partner, Artisan Investment Corporation, former Advisory Committee members, any officers or directors of the General Partner or Artisan Investment Corporation and their respective heirs, successors and assigns will be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership against any losses, damages, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or administrative (including any action by or on behalf of the Partnership) arising as a result of their being the General Partner, the former general partner, a former Advisory Committee member, or an officer or director of the General Partner or the former general partner to the maximum extent that they could be indemnified if the Partnership were a Delaware corporation and they were directors of such corporation. In addition, the Partnership shall pay the costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the parties indemnified herein in advance of a final disposition of such matter so long as such indemnified party undertakes to repay such expenses if he or she is adjudicated not to be entitled to indemnification.

(b) An officer or employee of, and any Persons whose full-time or part-time professional efforts are devoted to providing services to, the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership will be indemnified by the Partnership against any losses, damages, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or administrative arising as a result of their being an officer or employee of the Partnership; provided, however, that no such Person shall be so indemnified or reimbursed for any claim, obligation or liability which shall have been finally adjudicated to have arisen out of or been based

-18-

SC1:3479243.8

upon the intentional misconduct, gross negligence, fraud or knowing violation of law by such Person. In addition, the Partnership shall pay the costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by such Persons indemnified herein in advance of a final disposition of such matter so long as such Person undertakes to repay such expenses if he or she is adjudicated not to be entitled to indemnification; provided, however, that such Person gives prompt notice thereof, executes such documents and takes such action as will permit the Partnership to conduct the defense or settlement thereof and cooperates therein.

9.4. Non-Exclusive Remedy. The right of indemnification provided hereby shall not be exclusive of, and shall not affect, any other rights to which any Partnership Unit Holder or other Person indemnified hereunder may be entitled. Nothing contained in this Article IX shall limit any lawful rights to indemnification existing independently of this Article IX. No amendment, modification or repeal of Section 9.3 or this Section 9.4 shall adversely affect the indemnification rights of any Partnership Unit Holder or Person hereunder with respect to any claim giving rise to such rights that arises prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

9.5. Other Permissible Activities. Except to the extent otherwise provided in any agreement between a Partnership Unit Holder and the Partnership, any Limited Partner (except for the Class B Common Unit Holders) and any officer or director of any such Limited Partner or the General Partner may (either directly or through its Affiliates) engage in or possess interests in other business ventures of every kind and description for its own account, including, without limitation, investing in other entities that engage in, or directly engaging in, institutional and retail investment management. Neither the Partnership nor any of the Partnership Unit Holders shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in or to such other business ventures or to the income or profits derived therefrom. Except for the General Partner and the Class B Common Unit Holders, each Partnership Unit Holder and each such Partnership Unit Holder’s Affiliates, in any such Person’s capacity as a Partnership Unit Holder or an Affiliate of a Partnership Unit Holder, and any officer, director, agent, member or partner of a Class A Common Unit Holder, Class D Common Unit Holder, Class E Common Unit Holder or Preferred Unit Holder, in such Person’s capacity as a director of the General Partner (a “Director Representative”), shall have no obligation to the Partnership to present any business opportunity to the Partnership, even if the opportunity is one that the Partnership might reasonably be deemed to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so, and no such Person, in such Person’s capacity as a Partnership Unit Holder or an Affiliate of a Partnership Unit Holder (or, to the fullest extent permitted by law and the Certificate of Incorporation of the General Partner, in a Director Representative’s capacity as a director of the General Partner), shall be liable to the Partnership or any Partnership Unit Holder for breach of any fiduciary or other duty (if any), as a Partnership Unit Holder or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such Person pursues or acquires such business opportunity, directs such business opportunity to another Person or fails to present such business opportunity, or information regarding such business opportunity, to the Partnership, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at law (whether common or statutory), in equity or otherwise. The General Partner will not engage in any business activity other than the management and ownership of the

-19-

SC1:3479243.8

Partnership and its Subsidiaries, or own any assets (other than on a temporary basis) other than Partnership Units, cash or cash-like instruments, provided that the General Partner may take any action (including incurring its own indebtedness) or own any asset if it determines in good faith that such actions or ownership are in the best interest of the Partnership.

9.6. Expenses. The General Partner shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Partnership for the General Partner’s operating expenses, overhead and other fees and expenses.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any distributions made to the General Partner pursuant to this Section 9.6 shall be in addition to any distributions the General Partner is otherwise entitled to as a Partnership Unit Holder and shall create no obligation for the Partnership to make any additional distribution to the Limited Partners.

ARTICLE X
Limited Partners

10.1. Limited Liability. Except as provided in the Act, no Limited Partner shall be obligated personally for any of the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Partnership, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise. The Limited Partners shall take no part in the “control of the business” of the Partnership (which phrase shall have the meaning assigned to it under the Act) or otherwise take any action that would make the Limited Partner liable for the obligations of the Partnership under the Act. The exercise by any Limited Partner of any right conferred herein shall not be construed to constitute participation by such Limited Partner in the conduct or control of the business of the Partnership so as to make such Limited Partner liable as a general partner for the debts and obligations of the Partnership for purposes of the Act. If appointed pursuant to this Agreement, a Limited Partner may serve as an officer of the Partnership. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no officer in its capacity as a Limited Partner or otherwise, shall be deemed to participate in the “control of the business” or affairs of the Partnership so as to make such Person liable as a general partner for the debts and obligations of the Partnership for purposes of the Act, and no such officer of the Partnership shall constitute a general partner of the Partnership or be liable for the obligations of the Partnership.

-20-

SC1:3479243.8

10.2. No Withdrawal. Other than with respect to the exchange provisions set forth in Section 3.2 or the Transfer provisions set forth in Article XIII, a Limited Partner shall not have the right to withdraw from the Partnership.

ARTICLE XI Dissolution and Termination

11.1. Dissolution. The Partnership shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up upon the first to occur of:

(a) the sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets;

(b) the Bankruptcy of the General Partner or the occurrence of any other event that results in the General Partner ceasing to be a general partner under the Act (each, an “Event of Withdrawal”), provided that the Partnership shall not be dissolved and required to be wound up in connection with any of the events specified in this Section 11.1(b) if, within 90 days after the Event of Withdrawal, the holders of at least a majority of the Class A Common Units, the Class B Common Units, the Class D Common Units and the Preferred Units, each voting as a separate class, consent in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of the Event of Withdrawal, of one or more additional General Partners;

(c) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution pursuant to Section 17‑802 of the Act;

(d) at any time there are no limited partners of the Partnership; or

(e) the consent of the General Partner and the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Class A Common Units, the Class B Common Units, the Class D Common Units and the Preferred Units, each voting as a separate class.

11.2. Distribution of Assets Upon Termination.

(a) Upon the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section 11.1, unless the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 11.1(b), the General Partner (or if there is none or if such dissolution occurred pursuant to Section 11.1(c), a Person approved by Limited Partners holding a majority of the outstanding Partnership Units, voting together as a single class and group, to act as a liquidating trustee of the Partnership (the “Liquidating Trustee”)), shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Partnership and distribute its assets in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.2(d).

(b) All saleable assets of the Partnership may be sold in connection with any dissolution at public or private sale or at such price and upon such terms as the General Partner or the Liquidating Trustee, as the case may be, may deem advisable. A Partnership Unit Holder or any partnership, corporation or other entity in which a

-21-

SC1:3479243.8

Partnership Unit Holder is in any way interested may purchase assets at such sale. The General Partner or the Liquidating Trustee, as the case may be, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in accordance with Section 11.2(d) distribute the assets of the Partnership in kind on the basis of the Fair Market Value thereof.

(c) Profits and Losses (and the related items of income, gain, loss and deduction, as determined in accordance with Section 5.3) of the Partnership in connection with any dissolution shall be determined as of the end of the period of winding up in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and shall be credited or charged to the respective Capital Accounts (respectively) of the Partnership Unit Holders.

(d) Upon the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership, the assets of the Partnership shall be distributed in the following order of priority to the extent available:

(i) First, to creditors of the Partnership in satisfaction of any debts and liabilities of the Partnership (except for any loans made by Partnership Unit Holders), whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof (which may include the establishment of any reserve which the General Partner or the Liquidating Trustee deems necessary in its sole discretion to provide for any contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Partnership; at the expiration of such period of time as the General Partner or the Liquidating Trustee, as the case may be, deems advisable, the balance remaining in any such reserve after payment of any such liabilities and obligations shall be distributed in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 11.2(d)).

(ii) Second, to the Partnership Unit Holders that have made loans to the Partnership pro rata (in accordance with the amount of principal of such loans then outstanding) until each shall have received the outstanding principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, such loans.

(iii) Third, subject to Section 6.1(e), in the event that the Partnership has Post-IPO Accrued and Undistributed Profits, to the Partnership Unit Holders in accordance with their Percentage Interests at the time the Post-IPO Accrued and Undistributed Profits were earned or accrued (as determined by the General Partner) until the Partnership has distributed all Post-IPO Accrued and Undistributed Profits; provided that if a Partnership Unit Holder Transfers or exchanges a Partnership Unit subsequent to the Partnership earning or accruing profits but prior to the distribution of such profits, the transferee (including, in the case of an exchange, the General Partner) shall be entitled to the Post-IPO Accrued and Undistributed Profits associated with the Partnership Unit so Transferred or exchanged.

(iv) Fourth, to the Partnership Unit Holders in proportion to their interests in the Grossed-Up Pre-IPO Profits until the Partnership has distributed all Grossed-Up Pre-IPO Profits. The General Partner’s interest in the Grossed-Up

-22-

(vi) Sixth, in the event that any amounts were ever distributed pursuant to Section 6.2(a) or Section 11.2(d)(v), 100% to each of the Other Unit Holders (in proportion to their respective Capital Account balances), until the cumulative amount of all distributions made, or deemed to have been made, to such Other Unit Holders pursuant to Section 6.2(a) and Section 6.2(b) in respect of all Partial Capital Events since the Effective Time and this Section 11.2(d)(vi) equals the amount such Other Unit Holders would have received from all such distributions had each such distribution been made in accordance with the Partnership Unit Holders’ respective Percentage Interests at the times of such distributions.

(i)     such Transfer, when added to the total of all other Transfers of LP Units within the preceding twelve (12) months, would not result in the Partnership being considered to have terminated within the meaning of Section 708 of the Code;

(ii)     such Transfer would not violate the registration or qualification provisions of the Securities Act or of any state securities or “Blue Sky” laws applicable to the Partnership or to the LP Units to be Transferred;

any such opinion of counsel or tax advisor, as applicable, to be delivered in writing to the Partnership not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the Transfer. Each Limited Partner hereby severally agrees that it will not Transfer any LP Units except as permitted by this Agreement, and that any purported Transfer in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void.

-33-

SC1:3479243.8

Person, required by Requirements of Law to disclose any Confidential Information, such Person shall (A) to the extent such action would not violate or conflict with Requirements of Law, promptly notify the General Partner of such Requirement of Law so that the Partnership may, in its sole discretion, seek an appropriate protective order and (B) if, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, such party or any of its Affiliates is nonetheless, in the opinion of counsel to such Person, compelled to disclose such Confidential Information, such Person, after notice to the party hereto to which such information relates (unless such notice would violate or conflict with Requirements of Law), may disclose such Confidential Information to the extent so required by Requirements of Law.

14.20. Tax Treatment of the Termination of the Partnership CVR Agreement. As provided for in the Fourth Restated LP Agreement, the Partnership CVR Agreement was intended to be treated, together with the Fourth Restated LP Agreement, as a single “partnership

-34-

SC1:3479243.8

agreement” under Section 761(c) of the Code and the Partnership CVRs were intended to be treated as part of the related Preferred Units for United States federal income tax purposes. Consistent with that treatment, the Partnership and each Partner agree to treat the termination of the Partnership CVR Agreement as a tax-free recapitalization of the related Preferred Units.

14.21. Interpretation in Certain Circumstances. If the board of directors of the General Partner determines that the result obtained by applying the terms of this Agreement is inconsistent with the intended substantive result, then, by a vote of at least three quarters of the members of the board of directors of the General Partner then in office, an alternative result and related allocations, determinations and distributions shall govern in lieu of the provisions of this Agreement notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, provided that, if the board of directors of the General Partner does not then include a director designated pursuant to Section 5.1(a)(ii), 5.1(a)(iii) or 5.1(a)(iv) of the Stockholders Agreement, then the holders of a majority of the Class A Common Units, Class D Common Units or Class B Common Units, respectively, voting as a separate class, must approve any alternative result and related allocations, determinations and distributions.

This Appendix sets forth certain allocations that will apply to the extent and under the circumstances provided below in lieu of the allocation provided in Section 7.1 of the Partnership Agreement. In no event will an allocation or distribution under the Agreement (including this Appendix B) be made which results in, or increases, an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of the Fiscal Year to which such allocation or distribution relates. Except as otherwise provided, capitalized terms have the meanings assigned thereto in the Agreement.

1.    Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704‑2(f) of the Treasury Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Appendix, if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Period, each Partnership Unit Holder shall be specially allocated items of income and gain for such Fiscal Period (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Period) in an amount equal to such Partnership Unit Holder’s share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Section 1.704‑2(g) of the Treasury Regulations. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704‑2(f)(6) and (j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 1(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704‑2(f) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704‑2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Appendix, if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Period, each Partnership Unit Holder who has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704‑2(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of income and gain for such Fiscal Period (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Periods) in an amount equal to such Partnership Unit Holder’s share of the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704‑2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704‑2(i)(4) and (j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 1(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704‑2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partnership Unit Holder unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Section 1.704‑1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of income and gain (including gross income) shall be specially allocated to each such Partnership Unit Holder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Partnership Unit Holder as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 1(c) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partnership Unit Holder would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Appendix have been tentatively made as if this Section 1(c) were not in the Agreement.

(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Period shall be allocated among the Partnership Unit Holders in accordance with Section 7.1 of the Agreement.

(e) Imputed Interest. To the extent the Partnership has taxable interest income or deduction with respect to any obligation of a Partnership Unit Holder to the Partnership pursuant to Section 483, Sections 1271 through 1288, or Section 7872 of the Code:

(i) Such interest income or deduction shall be specially allocated to the Partnership Unit Holders to whom such obligation relates; and

(ii) The amount of such interest income or deduction shall be excluded from the Capital Contributions credited or debited to such Partnership Unit Holder’s Capital Account in connection with payments of principal with respect to such obligations.

(f) Allocations Relating to Taxable Issuance of Partnership Units. Any income, gain, loss, or deduction realized as a direct or indirect result of the issuance of Partnership Units or other interests in the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partnership Unit Holders so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such items, together with all other allocations under the Agreement to each Partnership Unit Holder, shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Partnership Unit Holder if such items had not been realized.

2.    Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 1(a), 1(b), 1(c), 1(d), 1(e) and 1(f), above, (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Partnership Unit Holders that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section 2. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Appendix (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of income, gain, loss, or deduction in whatever manner they determine appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partnership Unit Holder’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partnership Unit Holder would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Appendix. In exercising his discretion under this Section 2, the General Partner shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections 1(a) and 1(b), above, that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Section 1(d), above.

3.    Creditable Foreign Taxes. Creditable foreign taxes shall be allocated to the Partnership Unit Holders in accordance with the Partnership Unit Holders’ distributive shares of income (including income allocated pursuant to Code Section 704(c) to which the creditable foreign tax relates. The provisions of this Section 3 are intended to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(viii).

4.    Transfer of Interests. In the event Partnership Units or other interests in the Partnership are Transferred pursuant to the Agreement during any Fiscal Period, the Profits (or Losses) allocated to the Partnership Unit Holders for each such Fiscal Period, and the related items of income, gain, loss or deduction as determined under Section 5.3 of the Agreement, shall be allocated among the transferring Partnership Unit Holders in proportion to the Partnership Units or other interests in the Partnership each holds from time to time during such Fiscal Period in accordance with Section 706 of the Code, using any convention permitted by law and selected by the General Partner.

5.    Tax Allocations.

(a) Capital Contributions. In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any Capital Contribution shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partnership Unit Holders so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Fair Market Value. Income, gain, loss, or deduction attributable to property held by the Partnership upon the Effective Time, and with a variation between adjusted basis and initial Fair Market Value, will be allocated under the traditional method as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704‑3(b).

(b) Adjustment of Carrying Value. In the event the Carrying Value of any asset of the Partnership is adjusted, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Carrying Value as so adjusted in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and shall be allocated under the traditional method as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b).

(c) Elections. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the General Partner in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intent of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the General Partner shall not elect to take into account the difference referred to in 5(a) and 5(b) other than in accordance with the traditional method as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b). Allocations pursuant to this Section 5 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of the Agreement.

6.    Recharacterization of Guaranteed Payment as Distribution. In the event that a guaranteed payment to a Partnership Unit Holder is ultimately recharacterized (as the result of an audit of the Partnership’s tax return or otherwise) as a distribution for federal income tax purposes, and if such recharacterization has the effect of disallowing a deduction or reducing the adjusted basis of any asset of the Partnership, then an amount of the Partnership’s gross income equal to such disallowance or reduction shall be allocated to the recipient of such payment.
