companies or businesses established in connection with developing, sourcing or operating investment opportunities, including as part of an underlying investment, a commitment to fund or finance or otherwise contemporaneously participate in such opportunities (“Platform Investments”) which may, in each case, be sponsored, managed or advised by one or more Apollo Clients (which may or may not include the Partnership), the Apollo Group, their respective Affiliates and portfolio companies or one or more third parties (“Joint Venture Partners”);

(t) do any other act that the General Partner, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable in connection with the management, operation and administration of the Partnership or any of the foregoing;

(u) authorize any partner, member, employee or other agent of the General Partner or its Affiliate or other agent of the Partnership to act for and on behalf of the Partnership in all matters incidental to the foregoing; and

(v) prepare, or cause to be prepared, and sign, execute and file any registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (including, but not limited to, Form 10).

Section 4.02 Investment Opportunities; Affiliated Transactions.

(a) General. The General Partner shall devote only so much of its time to the affairs of the Partnership as in its judgment the conduct of the business of the Partnership shall reasonably require, and the General Partner shall not be obligated to do or perform any act or thing in connection with the business of the Partnership not expressly set forth herein. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude the General Partner, the Investment Manager or any of their respective Affiliates from organizing, managing or exercising investment responsibility with respect to, or directly or indirectly purchasing, selling, holding or otherwise dealing with any Financial Instruments for the account of, any other Apollo Client or Person (including any other Apollo Client with similar or identical investment activities to those of the Fund or one or more Apollo Clients) or for their own accounts. Furthermore, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude the General Partner, the Investment Manager or any of their respective Affiliates from engaging directly or indirectly in any other business, whether or not the business is similar to the business of the Fund, or from directly or indirectly purchasing, selling, holding or otherwise dealing with Financial Instruments for the account of any such other business. The General Partner, the Investment Manager or any of their respective Affiliates shall also not be precluded from serving as an officer, director, paid advisor or performing any comparable management functions for issuers in which the Partnership invests, nor from receiving compensation in connection therewith. Neither the Partnership nor any Limited Partner, by reason of being a Limited Partner in the Partnership, shall have any rights in or to those businesses or any right to participate in any manner in any profits or income earned or derived by or accruing to the General Partner, the Investment Manager or any of their respective Affiliates from the conduct of any business or from any transaction in Financial Instruments, other than Financial Instruments transactions effected for the

- 26 -

account of the Fund. The Partnership may serve as a nominee or hold Financial Instruments as a nominee for any Affiliate of the Partnership, the Aggregators, the General Partner, the Investment Manager, the Feeder Funds, the Parallel Funds or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

(b) Allocation of Investment Opportunities. The Apollo Group may, from time to time, be presented with investment opportunities that fall within the investment objectives of the Partnership and other Apollo Clients. The Apollo Group has established policies and procedures for allocating investment opportunities among Apollo Clients intended to ensure that each Apollo Client is treated in a manner that, over time, is fair and equitable. Such opportunities shall be allocated pursuant to such allocation policies and procedures (as amended from time to time by the Apollo Group in its sole discretion).

(c) Transactions with Affiliated Service Providers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, approval of the Limited Partners shall not be required for any transaction entered into by the Partnership, any Special Purpose Vehicles, or intermediate entities or any portfolio company with any Affiliated Service Provider that is on an arm’s-length basis or not materially less favorable to the Partnership, such Special Purpose Vehicle or intermediate entity or such portfolio company than the terms that could be obtained from a third party with commensurate skill, expertise or experience (to the extent applicable). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms of any such transaction shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing standard if (i) such transaction is expressly permitted or contemplated hereunder or in the Confidential Memorandum or the Part 2A and Part 2B of Form ADV filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by the Investment Manager (or its applicable Affiliate), or (ii) the Partnership or the General Partner obtains advice from or the recommendation of an independent third-party consultant or expert that is not an Affiliate of the General Partner or the Investment Manager with the requisite skill, expertise or experience in the applicable subject matter (including a Conflicts Review Agent) that the terms of such transaction satisfy the foregoing standard.

(d) Conflicts Review Agent.

(i) With respect to any principal transaction and any approval or client consent that may be required under the Advisers Act, including Sections 205(a) and 206(3) thereof or certain related party transactions or other transactions and matters involving potential conflicts of interest that the General Partner and/or the Investment Manager deems to be material, each Limited Partner hereby authorizes the General Partner, on behalf of such Limited Partner, to select one or more Persons, who shall not be the General Partner, the Investment Manager or any of their respective Affiliates (a “Conflicts Review Agent”) to approve or disapprove of any such matter from the perspective of the Partnership, to the extent required by applicable law or deemed advisable by the General Partner or the Investment Manager and not prohibited by applicable law; except that the approval of a Conflicts Review Agent shall not be required

- 27 -

for any transaction entered into by the Partnership with any Affiliate, Apollo Client or member of the Apollo Group that is on arm’s-length terms or on terms that are no less favorable to the Partnership than the terms or conditions that could be obtained from a third party with commensurate skill, expertise or experience (to the extent applicable). Any approvals granted by the Conflicts Review Agent shall be final and binding on the Partnership, the Limited Partners and the Feeder Fund Investors. The Partnership shall pay the Conflicts Review Agent fees and shall reimburse the Conflicts Review Agent for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and charges incurred in connection with the performance of its duties.

(ii) The General Partner may (but shall not be required to) cause the Partnership to enter into an agreement to afford the Conflicts Review Agent with such indemnification and/or exculpation rights as the General Partner determines in its sole discretion (whether such rights are consistent with the exculpation afforded to Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 4.06 (Liability to Partners) or the indemnification afforded to Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 4.07 (Indemnification) or otherwise). Any such indemnification obligation of the Partnership pursuant to any such agreement shall be deemed an Operating Expense for all purposes of this Agreement.

(iii) The General Partner, in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership, hereby authorizes (and each Limited Partner hereby consents for all purposes to such authorization) the Conflicts Review Agent to take any actions as may be required in connection with any approval or client consent required under the Advisers Act, including Sections 205(a) and 206(3) thereof. The Conflicts Review Agent shall act in conformity with this Agreement and in no event shall the Conflicts Review Agent be considered a general partner of the Partnership by agreement, estoppel, as a result of the performance of its duties or otherwise.

(iv) Any consent (meaning any approval or disapproval, whether obtained through affirmative or negative consent) by the Conflicts Review Agent may be given in writing or by means of a conference telephone call, video conferencing, online platforms or other electronic formats by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear and be heard. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Conflicts Review Agent shall not owe any duties (fiduciary or otherwise), at law or in equity, under this Agreement or otherwise, to the Fund, the Limited Partners or the Feeder Fund Investors in respect of its activities and shall be entitled to consider any interest and factors in its sole discretion.

(e) Acknowledgment and Consent of Limited Partners. Each Limited Partner (i) represents and warrants that such Limited Partner has carefully

- 28 -

reviewed and understood the information contained in the sections entitled “Certain Risk Factors” and “Potential Conflicts of Interest” in the Confidential Memorandum and has retained or consulted external or in-house counsel (which counsel is independent of the legal counsel representing the Apollo Group, the General Partner, the Investment Manager or any of their respective Affiliates) to assist in such Limited Partner’s evaluation and understanding thereof and in connection with the offering and sale of interests in the Partnership and (ii) acknowledges and agrees that the General Partner, the Investment Manager and their respective Affiliates may engage, without liability to the Fund or the Limited Partners, in any and all of the activities of the type or character described or contemplated in “Certain Risk Factors” and “Potential Conflicts of Interest” in the Confidential Memorandum, whether or not such activities have or could have an effect on the Fund’s affairs or on any Investment, and that no such activity shall in and of itself constitute a breach of any duty owed by any Person to the Limited Partners or the Fund.

(f) General Partner as Limited Partner. The General Partner may also be a Limited Partner to the extent that it subscribes for an Interest as a Limited Partner or purchases or becomes a transferee of all or any part of the Interest of a Limited Partner, and is admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner in accordance with this Agreement, and to such extent shall be treated as a Limited Partner in all respects. For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including in the definition of “Majority-in-Interest”), any such Interest held by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates shall be a voting interest and shall be included in determining whether the requisite percentage of the Partners have consented to, approved, adopted or taken any action hereunder. The General Partner shall not be required to consent to any such Transfer.

(g) Co-Investments. Without limiting the provisions of Section 4.02(h) (Cross-Trading), the General Partner may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, offer co-investment opportunities to, or otherwise cause the Partnership to participate in co-investment opportunities with, any Limited Partners or any of their Affiliates or any of its beneficial owners or any other client or account of its advisor or consultant, any Apollo Clients, any Affiliates of the Apollo Group, any Co-Investment Entity or any other Persons, including any Persons who the General Partner or the Investment Manager believes, in its sole discretion, may benefit the Partnership or an issuer, the Apollo Group and its Affiliates, a portfolio company management team or members, consultants or advisors, including Persons who may provide a strategic, sourcing, tax, structuring, regulatory or other benefit to the Apollo Group, any Apollo Client, the Partnership or one or more of their respective Affiliates due to industry expertise, end-user expertise or otherwise. The General Partner shall be under no obligation to provide such opportunities to any Person, and no Limited Partner should have any expectation of receiving any co-investment opportunities. In addition, one or more vehicles may be established to structure co-investments (each, a “Co-Investment Entity”), including a vehicle to invest in the Partnership or to co-invest alongside the Partnership to facilitate an investment by any Person. The Partnership may offer or participate in such opportunities, as the case may be, upon initiation of the relevant investment opportunity or at any time subsequently. The terms and conditions

- 29 -

applicable to any Co-Investment Entity may differ from those applicable to the Partnership. Without limiting the foregoing, co-investments may be facilitated by way of a sale or other disposition of a portion of the Partnership’s interest in such investment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner, the Investment Manager, any Apollo Client, any member of the Apollo Group or any of their respective Affiliates may (or may not), in their sole discretion, (i) charge or otherwise receive performance allocations, management fees and other fees and costs to any co-investors described in this Section 4.02(g) (Co-Investments) and may make an investment, or otherwise participate, in any Co-Investment Entity to facilitate receipt of such performance allocations, management fees and/or other fees and costs or (ii) collect customary fees in connection with actual or contemplated investments that are the subject of such co-investment arrangements.

(h) Cross-Trading. The Partnership may engage in cross trades and cross-investments with any other Apollo Client, Affiliate, member of the Apollo Group or any of their respective portfolio companies and may acquire Financial Instruments from or sell or otherwise dispose of Financial Instruments to or engage in financing transactions with any such Person. Notwithstanding any prohibition or restriction contained elsewhere in this Agreement, no Apollo Client, Affiliate of the Fund or of any Apollo Client or any member of the Apollo Group, or any of their respective portfolio companies will be prohibited from acquiring, or otherwise engaging in transactions with respect to Financial Instruments of any Person (including a Special Purpose Vehicle) in which the Partnership has a financial interest (whether in the same or a different class of Financial Instruments) or selling, divesting, making further acquisitions or otherwise engaging in transactions with respect to Financial Instruments of such Person, including following a co-investment, and the Partnership will not be prohibited from acquiring, or otherwise engaging in transactions with respect to, Financial Instruments of any Person (including an intermediate entity or Special Purpose Vehicle that has been or will be formed for the purpose of holding one or more Investments) in which an Apollo Client, any Affiliate of the Fund or of any Apollo Client or any member of the Apollo Group, or any of their respective portfolio companies has a financial interest (whether in the same or a different class of Financial Instruments) or selling, divesting, making further acquisitions or otherwise engaging in transactions with respect to Financial Instruments of such Person, including following a co-investment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, AGM, an Apollo Client, an Affiliate of the Fund or of any Apollo Client or member of the Apollo Group, or any of their respective portfolio companies may originate or otherwise participate in a variety of direct lending opportunities (including bridge loans, secured first- and second-lien loans, convertible notes, mezzanine loans, debtor-in-possession financings and structured letters of credit), and may structure any such investments so that they may be sold in the secondary market, including to the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries, Special Purpose Vehicles or Co-Investment Entities; provided that such transactions will generally be on terms consistent with AGM’s current policies and procedures in place from time to time. The Partnership may invest in and/or seed Apollo Clients. In addition, the Partnership may invest in the senior, subordinated securities and/or equity securities of collateralized leveraged loan or debt obligations and similar structured vehicles sponsored by the General Partner, the Investment Manager, any member of

- 30 -

the Apollo Group, any Apollo Client, or any of their respective portfolio companies or any of their respective Affiliates. The Partnership may also purchase downgraded assets from any Apollo Clients, any Affiliates of the Fund or of any Apollo Client or any member of the Apollo Group or any of their respective portfolio companies.

Section 4.03 Parallel Funds; Parallel Trading Vehicles.

(a) Parallel Funds. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, one or more separate entities may be formed for legal, regulatory, ERISA, tax, currency or other reasons, including the STE Fund (each, a “Parallel Fund” and, collectively, the “Parallel Funds”), which entities are intended to generally invest on a side-by-side basis with the Partnership on a pro rata basis with the Partnership, and on equivalent economic terms as, and at the same time as the Partnership, and is expected to sell or otherwise dispose of its Investments, in each case, concurrently with the sale or other disposition by the Partnership of a like proportion of its Investments and on equivalent economic terms and conditions as the Partnership’s sale or other disposition; it being understood that if one or more Parallel Funds are established to address certain tax and similar considerations, then it can be expected that such Parallel Fund will have different investment portfolios than the Partnership as a result of such considerations. Each Parallel Fund shall be governed by operative agreements with terms and conditions substantially similar to those set forth herein, except to the extent that the General Partner in its sole discretion determines that due to legal, tax, regulatory, ERISA, tax, currency or other considerations or limitations, the terms and conditions applicable to any Parallel Fund should differ from those applicable to the Partnership, including the terms relating to the amount and timing of management fees. Subject to the foregoing, as a result of the formation of any Parallel Funds, all Organizational Expenses and ongoing Operating Expenses shall be allocated among the Partnership and the Parallel Funds in such manner as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, deems to be fair and equitable under the circumstances.

(b) Parallel Trading Vehicles.

(i) If, in the determination of the General Partner, in its sole discretion, a potential or existing Investment (or class of Investments) may give rise to any adverse legal, regulatory, accounting, tax or other consequences to the Partnership or any Partner, the General Partner shall have the right to (A) direct that Capital Contributions of certain or all Limited Partners with respect to such potential Investment be effected through one or more parallel trading vehicles (each, a “Parallel Trading Vehicle”), (B) effect the compulsory withdrawal of all or any portion of any Limited Partner’s direct or indirect interests in the Partnership and direct that the corresponding withdrawal proceeds (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be subject to any withdrawal limitations) be invested in a Parallel Trading Vehicle identified by the General Partner and (C) in the case of an existing Investment (or portion thereof), transfer all or any portion of such existing Investment to a Parallel Trading Vehicle if, in the determination of the General Partner after consultation with counsel, use of such a vehicle

- 31 -

would reasonably be expected to ameliorate such legal, regulatory, accounting, tax or other consequences to the Partnership or any Limited Partners.

(ii) Each Parallel Trading Vehicle shall be an entity that provides for limited liability of the Limited Partners (such as a limited partnership, limited liability company or other entity), with the General Partner, the Investment Manager or an Affiliate thereof as its general partner (or similar managing fiduciary) and certain or all Limited Partners as its investors. Each Parallel Trading Vehicle shall be governed by a document or documents containing terms and conditions substantially comparable to this Agreement, which documents shall be executed on behalf of the Limited Partners investing therein by the General Partner pursuant to the power of attorney granted by each of the Limited Partners pursuant to Section 11.04 (Power of Attorney); provided that the document or documents governing any Parallel Trading Vehicle shall not contain any terms or conditions that would conflict with or enable the circumvention of any limitation or restriction explicitly provided for in this Agreement.

(iii) The General Partner or an Affiliate thereof shall serve as the general partner (or similar managing fiduciary) of such Parallel Trading Vehicle; it being understood that the economic interest (whether capital interest, profits interest or entitlement to the Management Fee) corresponding to the interests of the General Partner, the Investment Manager or an Affiliate thereof hereunder may for legal, tax, regulatory or other technical reasons be structured, in whole or in part, outside or inside the entity or entities through which one or more Limited Partners participate in the Parallel Trading Vehicle.  Solely for purposes of calculating distributions of cash and other property from such vehicle, each investment made by the Parallel Trading Vehicle will be treated as if it were an investment made by the Partnership as provided in Section 5.04(c) (Aggregation of Investment Results with Parallel Trading Vehicles), subject to applicable legal, tax or regulatory considerations.

(iv) Costs and expenses relating to a Parallel Trading Vehicle shall be borne solely by the Limited Partners that participate (directly or indirectly) therein or for whose benefit such Parallel Trading Vehicle was formed.

(v) For the avoidance of doubt, any power or authority of the General Partner and the Partnership to take or refrain from taking any action as provided in this Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis to the powers and authority of, and with respect to, any Parallel Trading Vehicle.

Section 4.04 No Participation in Management by Limited Partners. The Limited Partners, in their capacities as such, shall not take part in the management or control of the Partnership, transact any business in the Partnership’s name or have

- 32 -

the power to sign documents for or otherwise bind the Partnership.  In no circumstance may a Limited Partner, in its capacity as such, take part in the conduct of the business of the Partnership or deal with third parties on behalf of the Partnership.

Section 4.05 Reliance by Third Parties. Persons dealing with the Partnership are entitled to rely conclusively upon the certificate of the General Partner, to the effect that it is then acting as the General Partner, and upon the authority of the General Partner as set forth in this Agreement.

Section 4.06 Liability to Partners.

(a) It is understood that the business of the Partnership involves the investment of its funds in investments involving a high degree of risk. None of the Indemnified Persons shall be liable to any Partner or the Partnership for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, expenses or costs (including any claim, judgment, award, settlement, reasonable legal and other professional fees and disbursements, and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any Proceeding (including any Proceeding relating to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), whether or not actual, alleged or threatened, whether or not matured or unmatured and whether or not asserted or brought due to contractual or other restrictions, including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damages, liabilities, expenses or costs, joint or several) (collectively, “Indemnified Losses”) arising from any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Indemnified Person (even if negligent) or for Indemnified Losses arising from any action taken or omitted to be taken by any other Partner or other Person with respect to the Partnership, except for any Indemnified Losses arising out of, related to or in connection with any action or omission that constitutes, with respect to such Indemnified Person, a Triggering Event.

(b) The General Partner shall be liable for the debts and obligations of the Partnership except, with respect to obligations to third parties, as otherwise provided under the terms of the debts or obligations to third parties, but shall be entitled to require the prior exhaustion of the Partnership’s assets and shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnities provided in Section 4.07 (Indemnification).

(c) Each of the Indemnified Persons may consult with legal counsel, accountants and other experts selected by it and shall have no liability to the Partnership or the other Partners for acting or refraining from acting on behalf of the Partnership or in furtherance of the interests of the Partnership in good faith in reliance upon and in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or other experts; provided that such counsel, accountants or other experts were selected in accordance with a standard of care that does not constitute a Triggering Event.

(d) Each Indemnified Person may rely in good faith upon and shall have no liability to the Partnership or any Partner for acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document reasonably

- 33 -

believed by such Indemnified Person to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(e) The General Partner may execute any of the powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through brokers, agents or attorneys and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any broker, agent or attorney appointed by it hereunder in accordance with a standard of care that does not constitute a Triggering Event.

(f) To the extent that, at law or in equity, any Indemnified Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or to another Partner, the Indemnified Person acting under this Agreement 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 an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity to the Partnership or its Partners, are agreed by the Partners to restrict or eliminate to that extent such duties and liabilities of such Indemnified Person.

(g) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 4.06 (Liability to Partners) and Section 4.07 (Indemnification) shall not be construed so as to provide for the exculpation or indemnification of any Indemnified Person for any liability (including liability under U.S. federal securities laws which, under certain circumstances, impose liability even on Persons that act in good faith), to the extent (but only to the extent) that such liability may not be waived, modified or limited under applicable law, but shall be construed so as to effectuate the provisions of this Section 4.06 (Liability to Partners) and Section 4.07 (Indemnification) to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Section 4.07 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Partnership shall indemnify each Indemnified Person against all Indemnified Losses (including any Indemnified Losses arising from the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) to which an Indemnified Person may become subject by reason of any acts or omissions or any alleged acts or omissions arising out of such Indemnified Person’s or any other Person’s activities in connection with the conduct of the business or affairs of the Partnership, the Aggregators, the Parallel Trading Vehicles and/or an Investment as the General Partner, the Investment Manager, the Partnership Representative, in their capacity as such or their Affiliates or, an officer, director, manager, employee or any direct or indirect partner, member, stockholder, agent or legal representative (e.g., executors, guardians and trustees) of any of the foregoing, including Persons formerly serving in such capacities, any Person who serves at the request of the General Partner or the Investment Manager hereunder on behalf of the Partnership as an officer, director, manager, partner, member, employee, stockholder, agent or legal representative of any other Person serving at the request of the General Partner or the Investment Manager hereunder on behalf of the Partnership in such

- 34 -

capacity as listed above, and any assignees or successors of any of the foregoing, unless such Indemnified Losses result from any action or omission which constitutes, with respect to such Indemnified Person, a Triggering Event; provided, that no such indemnity shall be available with respect to any action (other than for indemnification) brought by an Indemnified Person against the Partnership or any action to the extent relating exclusively to an internal dispute among the partners or employees of the General Partner or the Investment Manager. Any indemnification rights provided for in this Section 4.07 (Indemnification) shall be retained by any removed, resigned or withdrawn Indemnified Person. Any indemnification rights provided for in this Section 4.07(Indemnification) shall also, to the extent the General Partner so determines in its sole discretion, be retained by any Person, as an intended third-party beneficiary hereunder, who has acted in the capacity of officer, director, partner, member, manager, employee or shareholder of an Indemnified Person. The satisfaction of any indemnification and any holding harmless hereunder shall be (i) from, and limited to, Partnership assets and no Limited Partner shall have any personal liability on account thereof, and (ii) subject to Section 4.07(c) (Third-Party Indemnitor).

(b) Advancement of Expenses. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, expenses incurred by an Indemnified Person in defense or settlement of any claim that may be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder may be advanced by the Partnership prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person to repay such amount to the extent that it shall be determined ultimately that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder; provided, that no such advancement of expenses not otherwise covered by insurance shall be made to any Indemnified Person with respect to any derivative action against such Indemnified Person or a direct action against such Indemnified Person, in each case, brought by at least a Majority-in-Interest of the Limited Partners. The right of any Indemnified Person to the indemnification provided herein shall be cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Indemnified Person may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Indemnified Person’s successors, assigns and legal representatives.

(c) Third-Party Indemnitor. In connection with the foregoing (i) the Partnership’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or advance expenses to any Indemnified Person shall be reduced by any amount such Indemnified Person may collect as indemnification or advancement from a Third-Party Indemnitor, and (ii) if the Partnership (or any Affiliate thereof other than a Third-Party Indemnitor) pays or causes to be paid, for any reason, any amounts that should have been paid by a Third-Party Indemnitor, then (A) the Partnership (or any such Affiliate thereof other than a Third-Party Indemnitor) shall be fully subrogated to all rights of the relevant Indemnified Person with respect to such payment, and (B) each relevant Indemnified Person shall assign to the Partnership all of the Indemnified Person’s rights to advancement or indemnification from or with respect to such Third-Party Indemnitor. To the maximum extent permitted by law, as among any Partnership Insurance and the Partnership, this Section 4.07 (Indemnification) shall be interpreted to reflect an ordering of liability for potentially overlapping or duplicative indemnification payments, with any Partnership

- 35 -

Insurance (if applicable) having primary liability and the Partnership (if applicable) having secondary liability.

(d) Agreements to Indemnify. The General Partner is hereby authorized to enter into any agreement with any Indemnified Person which agreement has the effect of conferring directly on such Indemnified Person the exculpation and indemnification protections set out in Section 4.06 (Liability to Partners) and this Section 4.07 (Indemnification). For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the priority of indemnification or advancement set forth in Section 4.07(c) (Third-Party Indemnitor), an Indemnified Person may first seek indemnification or advancement from the Partnership as set forth in this Section 4.07 (Indemnification) (which indemnification or advancement shall be considered an Operating Expense of, and be borne by, the Partnership) prior to seeking to cause such amounts to be borne by any Third-Party Indemnitor, regardless of the ultimate allocation of the corresponding liabilities.

(e) Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 4.07 (Indemnification) shall not be construed so as to provide for the indemnification of an Indemnified Person for any liability (including liability under U.S. federal securities laws which, under certain circumstances, impose liability even on Persons that act in good faith), to the extent (but only to the extent) that such indemnification would be in violation of applicable law, but shall be construed so as to effectuate the provisions of this Section 4.07 (Indemnification) to the fullest extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement should be interpreted as a waiver of any fiduciary duty under the Advisers Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and any successor statute, owed by any Indemnified Persons to the Partnership.

(f) Indemnification Insurance. For the avoidance of doubt, the unavailability of indemnification under this paragraph will not preclude any Indemnified Person from recovering under any insurance policy the cost of which is borne by the Partnership.

(g) Survival. Each of the Partners agrees that the provisions of Section 4.06 (Liability to Partners) and this Section 4.07 (Indemnification) shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the termination of the Investment Management Agreement and/or the resignation of the General Partner from the Partnership. The provisions of Section 4.06 (Liability to Partners) and this Section 4.07 (Indemnification) shall continue to afford protection to each Indemnified Person regardless of whether such Indemnified Person remains in the position or capacity pursuant to which such Indemnified Person became entitled to exculpation under Section 4.06 (Liability to Partners) or indemnification under this Section 4.07 (Indemnification), and regardless of any subsequent amendment to this Agreement; provided that no such amendment shall reduce or restrict the extent to which these exculpation and indemnification provisions apply to actions taken or omissions made prior to the date of such amendment.

- 36 -

Section 4.08        Expenses.

(a) General Partner and Investment Manager Expenses. Except as set forth in this Agreement (including Section 4.08(b) (Organizational Expenses and Placement Fees), Section 4.08(c) (Operating Expenses) and Section 4.08(e) (Reimbursement)), the General Partner or the Investment Manager, as applicable, shall pay or otherwise bear and be charged with, all of their own operating, overhead and administrative expenses, including all costs and expenses on account of compensation and benefits of their employees and rent (collectively, the “Overhead”) without reimbursement by the Partnership.

(b) Organizational Expenses and Placement Fees.

(i) The Partnership (directly or indirectly) will pay all of its own, the Investment Manager’s, the General Partner’s, the Intermediate Vehicles’ and any other Blocker Entities’, the Aggregators’, any other Feeder Funds’, any Parallel Funds’, Schedule I Limited Partners’ and Schedule II Limited Partners’ (collectively, the “Fund Entities”) fees, costs and expenses and other liabilities incurred in connection with the offering and sale of Interests to prospective Limited Partners, including all out-of-pocket legal, accounting, filing, capital raising, printing, electronic database and other similar fees, costs and expenses, including travel, accommodation, meal and related expenses and other similar fees, costs and expenses (collectively, “Organizational Expenses”) that are attributable to the Partnership. Subject to Section 4.08(c) (Operating Expenses), Organizational Expenses shall include fees and expenses of counsel to, accountants for and agents of the Fund, the General Partner, the Aggregators and the Investment Manager, travel expenses of personnel of the General Partner and the Investment Manager and their advisors, and other expenses, in each case, incurred in connection with the formation of the Fund, the General Partner and the Investment Manager, the preparation of this Agreement, compliance with applicable laws or regulations and the offering of interests in the Partnership (including the preparation of any Other Agreements). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Organizational Expenses shall not include fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with negotiating Other Agreements (including potential Other Agreements) with prospective and existing Limited Partners and entering into and compliance with Other Agreements with prospective and existing Limited Partners (which fees, costs and expenses may, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, be allocated solely to or paid solely by the Limited Partner(s) to which they relate) and “most favored nations” election processes in connection therewith. For accounting purposes, certain of the Organizational Expenses of the Partnership will be amortized over a 60-month period from the commencement of operations. Amortization of Organizational Expenses by the Partnership does not conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. If a Limited Partner withdraws all or a portion of its Capital

- 37 -

Account prior to the end of the 60-month period during which the Partnership is amortizing expenses, the General Partner may, but is not required to, accelerate a proportionate share of the unamortized expenses based upon the amount being withdrawn and reduce withdrawal proceeds by the amount of such accelerated expenses.

(ii) The General Partner may specially allocate any placement fees and expenses incurred in connection with the offering of the Interests to the Capital Accounts of the Limited Partners on any basis that it considers equitable; provided, however, that any placement fees paid by the Partnership will offset the Management Fees otherwise payable to the Investment Manager on a dollar-for-dollar basis. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Limited Partner is required to bear a separate fee by any placement agent, such separate fee will not reduce the Management Fees.

(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, if the Fund, the General Partner, the Investment Manager or any of their respective affiliates is required to register in a particular non-U.S. jurisdiction solely in connection with the offering of interests in the Fund, or to clear subscriptions through a local broker-dealer or agent under applicable non-U.S. law, any fees, costs or expenses related thereto will be treated as Operating Expenses and will not be treated as placement fees or expenses.

(c) Operating Expenses. On an ongoing basis, except for the expenses provided for in Section 4.08(a) (General Partner and Investment Manager Expenses) and Section 4.08(b) (Organizational Expenses and Placement Fees), the Partnership (and not the General Partner, the Investment Manager or any of their respective Affiliates) shall pay or otherwise bear its share (as equitably allocated by the General Partner in its sole discretion) of all fees, costs, expenses and other liabilities or obligations resulting from, related to, associated with, or arising from or incurred in connection with the Partnership’s and any Parallel Fund’s operations (the “Operating Expenses”).

(d) Allocations of Expenses among Capital Accounts. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, including Section 5.04 (Allocation of Net Capital Appreciation or Net Capital Depreciation), but subject to Section 4.08(b) (Organizational Expenses and Placement Fees), any expense (other than Withholding Taxes or any other tax obligation determined separately with respect to the share of Partnership income allocable to any Partner) shall be generally shared on a pro rata basis by the Capital Accounts (based on Partnership Percentages) to which such expense is allocated by the General Partner, in its sole discretion; provided that (i) any expense incurred solely for the benefit of a Limited Partner or a particular Capital Account (including Withholding Taxes and other tax obligations determined separately with respect to the share of Partnership income allocable to any Partner) shall be generally accounted for by the Partnership and debited against the Capital Account of the applicable Limited Partner, and (ii) in the case of a Non-USD Sub-Series, any Non-USD Expenses attributable to such Non-USD Sub-Series shall be allocated among, and borne solely by, the Non-USD Sub-Series Partners of such Non-USD Sub-Series pro rata (based on their respective Non-USD Percentages with respect to such Non-USD Sub-Series). For the avoidance of doubt, a Non-USD Sub-Series Partner is responsible for its ratable share of Non-USD Expenses, which will be charged to such Non-USD Sub-Series Partner’s Capital Account and paid out of its Capital Contributions or any withdrawal proceeds or other distributions payable to such Non-USD Sub-Series Partner in respect of its Non-USD Sub-Series. If a Non-USD Sub-Series Partner’s full ratable share of Non-USD Expenses has not been covered or otherwise satisfied by the sources described in the preceding sentence, such Non-USD Sub-Series Partner will be required to reimburse the Partnership for the outstanding balance.

(e) Reimbursement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including Section 4.08(a) (General Partner and Investment Manager Expenses)), the General Partner, the Investment Manager and their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Partnership for any such Operating Expenses or Organizational Expenses paid and/or incurred by them on behalf of the Partnership, including fees, costs and expenses and allocated portions of the General Partner’s, Investment Manager’s or any of their respective Affiliates’ Overhead incurred in connection with services performed by personnel or employees of the General Partner, the Investment Manager and/or their respective Affiliates, and that are services for which the fees, costs and expenses thereof constitute Organizational Expenses as described in Section 4.08(b) (Organizational Expenses and Placement Fees) or Operating Expenses as described in Section 4.08(c) (Operating Expenses). In addition,

- 44 -

the categories of fees, costs, expenses and other liabilities identified in Section 4.08(b) (Organizational Expenses and Placement Fees) and Section 4.08(c) (Operating Expenses) shall be Operating Expenses and Organizational Expenses, respectively, regardless of whether the Person providing or performing the service or output giving rise to such fees, costs, expenses or other liabilities is the General Partner, the Investment Manager or any of their respective Affiliates or a third party.

(f) Allocations of Expenses with Apollo Clients. To the extent that any Apollo Client is participating in an Investment or potential Investment, any and all expenses not paid by an issuer or other Person shall be borne by the Partnership (or the Aggregators) or the Apollo Client to the extent applicable, pro rata in proportion to the amount of funds to be invested or proposed to be invested by each of the foregoing, or in such manner as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, deems to be fair and equitable under the circumstances.

(g) Operating Expense Cap. The Specified Expenses paid by the Fund will be capped at (u) 0.10% with respect to any Capital Account established prior to August 1, 2025 or (v) 0.25% with respect to any other Capital Account, of the Fund’s Net Asset Value per year. The Investment Manager (or one or more of its Affiliates) may elect to pay certain of the Operating Expenses on the Fund’s behalf (each such payment, an “Expense Advance”). Following any calendar month in which the Specified Expenses are below 0.25% of the Fund’s Net Asset Value at the end of such calendar month on an annualized basis, the Fund shall reimburse the Investment Manager (or the applicable Affiliates(s)), fully or partially, for the Expense Advance, but only if and to the extent that Specified Expenses plus any Reimbursement Payments do not exceed (w) 0.10% with respect to any Capital Account established prior to August 1, 2025 or (x) 0.25% with respect to any other Capital Account, of the Fund’s Net Asset Value at the end of such calendar month on an annualized basis, until such time as all Expense Advances made by the Investment Manager (or the applicable Affiliate(s)) to the Fund within (y) one year with respect to any Capital Account established prior to August 1, 2025 or (z) three years with respect to any other Capital Account, prior to the last business day of such calendar month have been reimbursed. Any payments required to be made by the Fund in the prior sentence shall be referred to herein as a “Reimbursement Payment.” The General Partner may use any such methodology to calculate: (i) the cap on Specified Expenses, (ii) any Expense Advance and (iii) any Reimbursement Payment as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to give effect to this provision.

Section 4.09 Management Fee.

(a) The Partnership shall pay to the Investment Manager (the “Management Fee”) a fee for management services, as of the first day of each month calculated separately, equal to:

(i) unless agreed with the General Partner, with respect to each Capital Account established prior to August 1, 2025 (other than the Capital Account of a Schedule I Limited Partner, a Schedule II Limited

Partner or a Schedule III Limited Partner): one-twelfth (1/12) of 0.40% of the Net Asset Value of such Capital Account;

(ii) with respect to any other Capital Account (other than the Capital Account of a Schedule I Limited Partner, a Schedule II Limited Partner or a Schedule III Limited Partner):

(A) with respect to any portion of any such Capital Account attributable to any Annual Liquidity Interests:

(I) if the relevant Limited Partner’s aggregate Capital Contributions (after deduction of any withdrawals and without consideration of any appreciation or depreciation in the value of the assets of the Partnership (its “Adjusted Contributions”)) in respect of its Annual Liquidity Interests are less than $50,000,000, one-twelfth (1/12) of 0.50% of the Net Asset Value of such portion of such Capital Account;

(II) if the relevant Limited Partner’s Adjusted Contributions in respect of its Annual Liquidity Interests are equal to or greater than $50,000,000 but less than $250,000,000, one-twelfth (1/12) of 0.45% of the Net Asset Value of such portion of such Capital Account;

(III) if the relevant Limited Partner’s Adjusted Contributions in respect of its Annual Liquidity Interests are equal to or greater than $250,000,000 but less than $500,000,000, one-twelfth (1/12) of 0.40% of the Net Asset Value of such portion of such Capital Account; and

(IV) if the relevant Limited Partner’s Adjusted Contributions in respect of its Annual Liquidity Interests are equal to or greater than $500,000,000, one-twelfth (1/12) of 0.35% of the Net Asset Value of such portion of such Capital Account;

(B) with respect to any portion of any such Capital Account attributable to any Monthly Liquidity Interests:

(I) if the relevant Limited Partner’s Adjusted Contributions in respect of its Monthly Liquidity Interests are less than $50,000,000, one-twelfth (1/12) of 0.60% of the Net Asset Value of such portion of such Capital Account;

(II) if the relevant Limited Partner’s Adjusted Contributions in respect of its Monthly Liquidity Interests are equal to or greater than $50,000,000 but less than

- 46 -

$250,000,000, one-twelfth (1/12) of 0.55% of the Net Asset Value of such portion of such Capital Account;

(III) if the relevant Limited Partner’s Adjusted Contributions in respect of its Monthly Liquidity Interests are equal to or greater than $250,000,000 but less than $500,000,000, one-twelfth (1/12) of 0.50% of the Net Asset Value of such portion of such Capital Account;

(IV) if the relevant Limited Partner’s Adjusted Contributions in respect of its Monthly Liquidity Interests are equal to or greater than $500,000,000, one-twelfth (1/12) of 0.45% of the Net Asset Value of such portion of such Capital Account; and

(V) if the relevant Limited Partner is a Seed Limited Partner, one-twelfth (1/12) of 0.30% of the Net Asset Value of such portion of the Limited Partner’s Capital Account attributable to such Limited Partner’s Adjusted Contributions made prior to or during the Seed Period.

The Investment Manager may, in its discretion, reduce or waive any Management Fees at any time. The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, elect to reduce, waive or calculate differently the Management Fee with respect to any Limited Partner, including Limited Partners that have strategic relationships with Apollo or are affiliates or employees of the General Partner or the Investment Manager, members of the immediate families of such persons and trusts or other entities organized primarily for their benefit or for charitable purposes, and including, in particular, during any wind down of the Fund’s business.

(b) For purposes of calculating the Management Fee, the Net Asset Value of each Capital Account shall be determined based on the immediately preceding month-end valuations, after giving effect to withdrawals occurring as of such month-end and Capital Contributions occurring as of the first day of such month.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.09 (Management Fee) to the contrary, the Management Fee may be payable or calculated at the level of the Aggregators and any Designated Parallel Vehicles with the Capital Account allocations in respect of each Partner being adjusted accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the Management Fee is paid at the level of the Aggregators or any Designated Parallel Vehicles, such amounts will reduce the amount of Management Fees owed by the Partnership on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Schedule I Limited Partners, Schedule II Limited Partners and Schedule III Limited Partners shall not be subject to any Management Fees.

If a Limited Partner makes an additional Capital Contribution to an existing Capital Account, the Capital Account may be sub-divided into separate subaccounts attributable to each separate Capital Contribution; provided that, for purposes of determining any restrictions applicable to a withdrawal request for the Interests issued in exchange for such additional Capital Contributions, such additional Capital Contributions shall be sub-divided into separate subaccounts attributable to each separate Capital Contribution, with each subaccount treated as if it were a separate Capital Account. Each Capital Account shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided. At the beginning of each Accounting Period, each Capital Account shall be (i) increased by any Capital Contributions made to the Partnership by the Partner holding such Capital Account and (ii) decreased by the amount of (A) any withdrawals made from such Capital Account relating to the immediately preceding Withdrawal Date pursuant to Section 6.02 (Withdrawals); (B) any distributions made from such Capital Account pursuant to Section 6.05 (Distributions) that result in a decrease in such Capital Account which have not been made in accordance with clause (A) of this sentence (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Quarterly Distributions); and (C) any Management Fee attributable to such Capital Account. At the end of each Accounting Period, each Capital Account shall be increased or decreased by the amount credited or debited to such Capital Account pursuant to Section 5.04 (Allocation of Net Capital Appreciation and Net Capital Depreciation) and Section 5.05 (Special Allocations). The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may subdivide such Capital Account into separate Capital Accounts in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 5.02 (Capital Accounts).

(ii) References to the “Net Asset Value” of a Capital Account and the “balance” of a Capital Account carry the same meaning and such terms are used interchangeably in this Agreement.

(b) Feeder Fund Investor Capital Account. In addition to the foregoing, a separate notional Capital Account may be established on the books of the Partnership for each Feeder Fund Investor as if such Feeder Fund Investor were a Limited Partner with a Partnership Percentage in the Partnership equal to such Feeder Fund Investor’s Adjusted Partnership Percentage.

Section 5.03 Partnership Percentages.

(a) Partnership Percentages, Generally. A “Partnership Percentage” shall be determined for each Capital Account for each Accounting Period

- 50 -

of the Partnership by dividing the balance of each such Capital Account by the aggregate Capital Accounts of all Partners as of the beginning of such Accounting Period after taking into account Capital Contributions, withdrawals, distributions and any applicable Management Fees payable, or indirectly borne, by the Partnership in respect of such Capital Account as of such date. The sum of the Partnership Percentages shall equal 100 percent. A “Non-USD Percentage” with respect to a Non-USD Sub-Series shall be determined for each Capital Account of a Non-USD Sub-Series Partner by dividing the balance of each such Non-USD Sub-Series Partner’s Capital Account by the aggregate Capital Accounts of all Non-USD Sub-Series Partners of such Non-USD Sub-Series as of the beginning of such Accounting Period after taking into account Capital Contributions, withdrawals, distributions and any applicable Management Fees payable, or indirectly borne, by the Partnership in respect of such Capital Account of such Non-USD Sub-Series Partner as of such date.

(b) Affected Accounts. Solely for purposes of providing Limited Partner consent to any action or amendment under this Agreement (including under Section 11.05 (Amendments to Partnership Agreement)), a voting percentage (a “Voting Percentage”) shall be calculated for each Limited Partner holding a Capital Account to be affected by such action or amendment (the accounts to be affected, the “Affected Accounts”) by dividing the balance of each such Limited Partner’s Affected Account(s) as of the beginning of the Accounting Period in which such consent or voting shall take place by the aggregate balance of all of the Affected Accounts as of the beginning of such Accounting Period after taking into account Capital Contributions, withdrawals, distributions and any applicable Management Fees indirectly borne by the Partnership in respect of such Capital Account as of such date. The sum of the Voting Percentages established for these purposes shall equal 100 percent.

Section 5.04 Allocation of Net Capital Appreciation or Net Capital Depreciation.

(a) General.

(i) Subject to Section 5.04(a)(ii), at the end of each Accounting Period, each Capital Account (including the General Partner’s Capital Account) shall be adjusted by crediting (in the case of Net Capital Appreciation) or debiting (in the case of Net Capital Depreciation) the Net Capital Appreciation or Net Capital Depreciation for such Accounting Period, as the case may be, to the Capital Accounts of all the Partners (including the General Partner) in proportion to their respective Partnership Percentages.

(ii) Any portion of Net Capital Depreciation attributable solely to Non-USD Expenses in respect of a Non-USD Sub-Series shall be allocated solely among the Non-USD Sub-Series Partners holding such Non-USD Sub-Series in proportion to their Non-USD Percentages and any portion of Net Capital Appreciation attributable solely to Non-USD ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in respect of such Non-USD Sub-Series shall be allocated solely among such Non-USD Sub-Series Partners in proportion to their Non-USD Percentages.

- 51 -

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Aggregation of Investment Results with Parallel Trading Vehicles. For purposes of calculating the Management Fee, the Net Asset Value shall be computed by taking into account all distributions and allocations with respect to the Parallel Trading Vehicle(s) established pursuant to this Agreement and in which any Partner has invested (the “Designated Parallel Vehicles”). The organizational documents of each such Parallel Trading Vehicle shall, similarly, provide that, solely for calculation purposes and without duplication, all distributions and allocations made by the Partnership in respect of a Partner, Feeder Fund or a Feeder Fund Investor or any other Designated Parallel Vehicle shall be aggregated with the distributions and allocations of all Designated Parallel Vehicles and the Partnership.

(d) Memorandum Accounts. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including Section 5.04(a) (General)), if the General Partner determines that, based upon tax or regulatory considerations, or for any other reasons as to which the General Partner and any Limited Partner agree, a Capital Account should not participate (or should be limited in its participation) in the Net Capital Appreciation, Net Capital Depreciation, or other appreciation and depreciation if any, attributable to any Financial Instrument, type of Financial Instrument or any other transaction, the General Partner may allocate such Net Capital Appreciation, Net Capital Depreciation, or other appreciation and depreciation only to the Capital Accounts to which such considerations or reasons (or agreement) do not apply (or may allocate to the Capital Account to which such considerations or reasons apply, the portion of such Net Capital Appreciation, Net Capital Depreciation, or other appreciation and depreciation attributable to such Partner’s limited participation in such Financial Instrument, type of Financial Instrument or other transaction). If any of the considerations or reasons described above apply, then a separate memorandum account (each, a “Memorandum Account”) may be established in which only the Capital Accounts having an interest in such Financial Instrument, type of Financial Instrument or transaction shall have an interest (any such Capital Account having such an interest shall be referred to as an “Unrestricted Capital Account”) and the Net Capital Appreciation, Net Capital Depreciation, or other appreciation and depreciation for each such Memorandum Account shall be separately calculated.

(e) Unrestricted Capital Accounts. At the end of each Accounting Period during which a Memorandum Account was in existence (or during which an interest in particular Financial Instruments was otherwise allocated away from one or more Capital Accounts), each Unrestricted Capital Account may be debited pro rata in accordance with the balance of all Unrestricted Capital Accounts at the opening of such Accounting Period in an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued on the amount used to purchase the Financial Instruments attributable to the Memorandum Account (the “Purchase Price”) had the Purchase Price earned interest at

- 52 -

the rate per annum being paid by the Partnership from time to time during the applicable Accounting Period for borrowed funds, or, if funds have not been borrowed by the Partnership during such Accounting Period, at the interest rate per annum that the General Partner determines would have been paid if funds had been borrowed by the Partnership during such Accounting Period. The amount so debited shall then be credited to all of the Capital Accounts pro rata in accordance with their balances as of the opening of the Accounting Period.

(f) Withholding and Other Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.04 (Allocation of Net Capital Appreciation or Net Capital Depreciation) or otherwise in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Partnership (directly or indirectly) incurs a Withholding Tax or other tax obligation which is allocable to a Partner (as determined by the General Partner), including any tax arising at any Fund Entity in connection with any withdrawal made by a Partner under Section 6.02 (Withdrawals) or any distribution to a Partner under Section 6.05 (Distributions), then the General Partner, without limitation of any other rights of the Partnership or the General Partner, shall cause the amount of such obligation to be debited to the Capital Account of such Partner as of the close of the Accounting Period during which such obligation is withheld or paid. The General Partner shall not be obligated to apply for or obtain a reduction of or exemption from Withholding Tax on behalf of any Partner that may be eligible for such reduction or exemption, or to otherwise seek to mitigate any tax borne by any Partner under this Section 5.04(f) (Withholding and Other Taxes).

Section 5.05 Special Allocations.

(a) Generally. Notwithstanding Section 5.04 (Allocation of Net Capital Appreciation or Net Capital Depreciation), special allocations of Net Capital Appreciation, Net Capital Depreciation, or specific items of income, gain, loss or deduction as shall be required for any Fiscal Year (or other Accounting Period) shall be made as follows:

(i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Items of income and gain shall be allocated among the Partners at such times and in such amounts as necessary to satisfy the minimum gain chargeback requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4).

(ii) Qualified Income Offset. Items of income and gain shall be specially allocated when and to the extent required to satisfy the “qualified income offset” requirement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

(iii) Other Regulatory Adjustments. The Capital Account(s) of a Partner also shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect other adjustments required to be made pursuant to the principles of Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1 or 1.704-2.

- 53 -

(b) Adjustment of Allocations. In the event that the General Partner reasonably determines that the allocations otherwise required pursuant to Section 5.04 (Allocation of Net Capital Appreciation or Net Capital Depreciation) or Section 5.05(a) (Generally) would not properly reflect the economic arrangement of the Partners or would otherwise cause any inequitable or onerous result for any Partner, then, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the General Partner may adjust such allocations in the manner the General Partner reasonably determines to be required to prevent or minimize such result.

Section 5.06 Valuation of the Partnership’s Portfolio.

(a) The Partnership’s assets and liabilities shall be valued in accordance with the terms of the Valuation Policy and Section 5.07 (Liabilities). Because the Partnership will invest substantially all of its investable assets in the Intermediate Vehicles and any other Blocker Entities and any Designated Parallel Vehicle, the General Partner shall rely on the valuations ascribed to the assets and liabilities of the Aggregators. All values assigned to Financial Instruments and other assets by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 5.06 (Valuation of the Partnership’s Portfolio) and to liabilities pursuant to Section 5.07 (Liabilities) shall be final and conclusive as to all of the Partners.

(b) To the extent that GAAP would require any of the Partnership’s assets or liabilities to be valued in a manner that differs from the Valuation Policy, the General Partner may value such assets or liabilities (i) in accordance with GAAP, solely for purposes of preparing the Partnership’s GAAP-compliant annual audited financial statements, and (ii) in accordance with the Valuation Policy (without regard to any GAAP requirements relating to the determination of fair value) for all other purposes, including for purposes of determining and allocating among the Partners Partnership Percentages, Management Fees payable or indirectly borne by the Partnership, and items of income, deduction, gain, loss or credit.

Section 5.07 Liabilities. Liabilities shall be determined using GAAP, applied on a consistent basis; provided, however, that the General Partner in its sole discretion may provide reserves and holdbacks for estimated accrued expenses, liabilities or contingencies, including general reserves or holdbacks for unspecified contingencies (even if such reserves or holdbacks are not required by GAAP). Such reserves or holdbacks could reduce the amount of distribution on withdrawal. Such reserves or holdbacks may be invested or maintained in a manner deemed appropriate by the General Partner. Any reserve or holdback shall be applied fairly and equitably to all Capital Accounts that are subject to the expenses, liabilities and contingencies for which such reserve or holdback was established. Limited Partners shall be provided upon request the nature and amount of any reserve or holdback that is not otherwise required by GAAP. Such reserves and holdbacks may be allocated on a non-pro rata basis and may include estimated taxes and other governmental charges (whether determined to arise at the level of the Partnership, any Parallel Fund, or any Intermediate Vehicle and any other Blocker Entity, Aggregator, Special Purpose Vehicles, or any other intermediate entities, as applicable), and taking into account

- 54 -

taxes that, in the General Partner’s reasonable determination, would arise if, immediately prior to such distribution on withdrawal, the Fund’s assets (or any Fund Entity’s assets) were disposed of in a taxable sale at their then current fair values, in each case, determined with respect to a withdrawing Partner’s allocable share of income and gain.

Section 5.08 Goodwill. No value shall be placed on the name or goodwill, if any, of the Partnership, which shall belong exclusively to the General Partner.

Section 5.09 Allocation for Tax Purposes.

(a) For each tax year, items of income, deduction, gain, loss or credit shall be allocated for income tax purposes among the Partners in such manner as to reflect equitably amounts credited or debited to each Partner’s Capital Account(s) for the current and prior Fiscal Years (or relevant portions thereof). Allocations under this Section 5.09 (Allocation for Tax Purposes) shall be made pursuant to the principles of Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, and Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(f), 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(g), 1.704-l(b)(4)(i) and 1.704-3(e) promulgated thereunder, as applicable, or the successor provisions to such Sections and Treasury Regulations. Items described in this Section 5.09 (Allocation for Tax Purposes) shall neither be credited nor charged to the Partners’ Capital Accounts.

(b) If the Partnership realizes Income for any tax year during or as of the end of which one or more Positive Basis Partners withdraw from the Partnership pursuant to Article VI (Withdrawals and Distributions of Capital), the General Partner may elect to allocate such Income as follows: (i) first, among such completely withdrawing Positive Basis Partners, pro rata in proportion to the respective Full Positive Basis of each such completely withdrawing Positive Basis Partner, until either the full amount of such Income shall have been so allocated or the Full Positive Basis of each such Positive Basis Partner shall have been eliminated; (ii) then, among such partially withdrawing Positive Basis Partners, pro rata in proportion to the respective Partial Positive Basis of each such partially withdrawing Positive Basis Partner, until either the remaining amount of such Income shall have been so allocated or the Partial Positive Basis of each such Positive Basis Partner shall have been eliminated; and (iii) then any Income not so allocated to Positive Basis Partners to the Partners that are not withdrawing Interests as shall equitably reflect the amounts allocated to such Partners’ Capital Accounts pursuant to Sections 5.04 (Allocation of Net Capital Appreciation or Net Capital Depreciation) and 5.05 (Special Allocations).

(c) If the Partnership realizes Losses for any tax year during or as of the end of which one or more Negative Basis Partners withdraw from the Partnership pursuant to Article VI (Withdrawals and Distributions of Capital), the General Partner may elect to allocate such Losses as follows: (i) first, among such completely withdrawing Negative Basis Partners, pro rata in proportion to the respective Full Negative Basis of each such completely withdrawing Negative Basis Partner, until either the full amount of such Losses shall have been so allocated or the Full Negative

- 55 -

Basis of each such Negative Basis Partner shall have been eliminated; (ii) then, among such partially withdrawing Negative Basis Partners, pro rata in proportion to the respective Partial Negative Basis of each such partially withdrawing Negative Basis Partner, until either the remaining amount of such Losses shall have been so allocated or the Partial Negative Basis of each such Negative Basis Partner shall have been eliminated; and (iii) then any Losses not so allocated to Negative Basis Partners to the other Partners in such manner as shall equitably reflect the amounts allocated to such Partners’ Capital Accounts pursuant to Sections 5.04 (Allocation of Net Capital Appreciation or Net Capital Depreciation) and 5.05 (Special Allocations).

Section 5.10 Determination by the General Partner of Certain Matters. All matters concerning the valuation of Financial Instruments and other assets and liabilities of the Partnership, the allocation of income, deductions, gains and losses among the Partners, including taxes thereon, and accounting procedures not expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by the General Partner, whose determination shall be final and conclusive as to all of the Partners.

Section 5.11 Adjustments to Take Account of Certain Events. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations require a withholding or other adjustment to the Capital Account(s) or otherwise to the interest of a Partner or Former Partner, or any other event, events, circumstance or circumstances occur(s) necessitating or justifying, in the General Partner’s sole judgment, an equitable adjustment to the Capital Account(s) or otherwise to the interest of a Partner or Former Partner, the General Partner shall make such adjustments in the determination and allocation among the Partners of Net Capital Appreciation, Net Capital Depreciation, Capital Accounts, Partnership Percentages, Management Fees payable or indirectly borne by the Partnership, items of income, deduction, gain, loss, credit or withholding for tax purposes, accounting procedures or such other financial or tax items as shall equitably take into account such event (or events) or circumstance (or circumstances) and applicable provisions of law, and the determination thereof in the sole discretion of the General Partner shall be final and conclusive as to all of the Partners.

Article VI

Withdrawals and Distributions of Capital

Section 6.01 Withdrawals and Distributions in General.

(a) Rights to Withdrawals and Distributions. No Partner shall be entitled to (i) receive distributions from the Partnership, except as provided in Sections 6.05 (Distributions) and 8.03 (Winding Up) and subject to Section 8.02(c) (Withdrawals Upon Winding Up) or (ii) withdraw any amount from such Partner’s Capital Account(s), except as provided in Section 6.02 (Withdrawals) or Section 6.03 (Required Withdrawals) and subject to Section 8.02(c) (Withdrawals Upon Winding Up) or upon the consent of, and upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by, the General Partner in its sole discretion; provided, however, that prior to a withdrawal other

- 56 -

than a withdrawal described in Section 6.02 (Withdrawals), the General Partner shall consult with counsel to the Partnership (including, for this purpose, in-house counsel) to ensure that such withdrawal would not create a substantial risk, either alone or with other withdrawals or Transfers, that the Partnership would be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(b) Former Partners. A Partner shall cease to be a Partner (i) as of the day immediately following the effective date of the full withdrawal of such Partner’s Capital Account(s) (with respect to such Capital Account(s)), (ii) as of the effective date of the Transfer of all of such Partner’s interests in the Partnership in accordance with Section 7.01 (Assignability of Interests) or (iii) in the event of the winding up of the Partnership, as of the final distribution of the assets of the Partnership. As of the effective date of a withdrawal, solely with respect to the withdrawal proceeds, a withdrawing Partner shall be considered a creditor of the Partnership and shall have no rights with respect to the Partnership, but shall have the right to receive withdrawal proceeds and shall continue to be bound by Section 6.05(f) (Withholding), Section 9.06 (Tax Matters) and the sections of this Agreement governing the payment of withdrawal proceeds, including Section 6.07(b) (Suspensions), Section 8.02(c) (Withdrawals Upon Winding Up), Article X (Confidential Information) and Article XI (Miscellaneous).

Section 6.02 Withdrawals.

(a) Voluntary Withdrawals Generally. Subject to Sections 6.02(b) (Limitations on Withdrawal of Capital Account; Withdrawal Thresholds), 6.05(f) (Withholding) and 6.07 (Additional Limitations on Withdrawal of Capital Account), a Limited Partner may withdraw all or a portion of its Capital Account upon prior written notice to the General Partner or its designee, to be provided no later than the 30^th day prior to the requested Withdrawal Date with respect to an interest issued under the Monthly Liquidity Sub-Series and the 60^th day prior to the requested Withdrawal Date with respect to an interest issued under the Annual Liquidity Sub-Series (each such notice, a “Proper Withdrawal Notice”), as applicable. The General Partner may waive notice requirements or permit withdrawals at such other times and/or on such other conditions as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion, including, with respect to any Limited Partner, Limited Partners that have strategic relationships with the Apollo Group or are affiliates or employees of the General Partner or the Investment Manager, members of the immediate families of such persons and trusts or other entities organized primarily for their benefit or for charitable purposes, and including, in particular, during any wind down of the Partnership’s business.

(b) Limitations on Withdrawal of Capital Account; Withdrawal Thresholds. The right of a Limited Partner withdrawing from the Partnership pursuant to Section 6.02(a)(i) (Voluntary Withdrawals Generally) and Section 6.03 (Required Withdrawals) to have distributed the Capital Account of such Partner pursuant to this Article VI (Withdrawals and Distributions of Capital) is subject to: (i) the requirements of the Delaware Act and the provision by the General Partner for all Partnership liabilities and for reserves for estimated accrued expenses, liabilities and contingencies (even if such reserves are not otherwise required by GAAP); (ii) Section 6.07 (Additional

- 57 -

Limitations on Withdrawal of Capital Account); and (iii) as set forth elsewhere herein. In addition, aggregate withdrawals during any calendar month shall be limited, at the General Partner’s discretion, to 10% (or such higher percentage as the General Partner determines in its sole discretion) of the Net Asset Value attributable to the Partnership as of the last day of the calendar month (the “10% Threshold”); provided that the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may elect to apply the 10% Threshold on an aggregated basis with respect to the Partnership and any corresponding series or class of interests in any Parallel Fund, which series or class of interests is established to facilitate participation by investors on a side-by-side and pro rata basis in the same Investments with the Partnership.  If the Partnership receives Proper Withdrawal Notices from Limited Partners that would result in the aggregate amount of withdrawals from the Partnership exceeding the 10% Threshold, then the General Partner may, in its sole discretion: (A) satisfy all such withdrawal requests; or (B) reduce withdrawal requests so that only an aggregate amount equal to the 10% Threshold (as such threshold may be adjusted in the sole discretion of the General Partner) is withdrawn by satisfying each such request in a manner that is proportionate to the amounts sought to be withdrawn by the withdrawing Limited Partners (irrespective of whether any such withdrawal requests have been reduced on one or more previous Withdrawal Dates as result of this Section 6.02(b) (Limitations on Withdrawal of Capital Account)). Withdrawal requests that are not fully satisfied as of any Withdrawal Date (including any withdrawal request submitted by any Limited Partner from its Capital Account) will be satisfied as of the next Withdrawal Date (and if not fully satisfied as of that Withdrawal Date because of the 10% Threshold, then as of the next and, if necessary, successive Withdrawal Dates), each time subject to the 10% Threshold, and any unsatisfied portion of any such withdrawal request will continue to be at risk of the Partnership’s business (for the avoidance of doubt, any unsatisfied withdrawal requests will not be prioritized over later withdrawal requests and will be satisfied together with such later withdrawal requests on successive Withdrawal Dates on a pro rata basis). To the extent that a Limited Partner makes multiple Capital Contributions (regardless of whether such Capital Contributions are made to the same Capital Account), any partial withdrawal of any such Limited Partner’s Capital Account(s) will apply to the portion of such Capital Account(s) in the order in which the associated Capital Contribution(s) were made to such Capital Account(s) by such Limited Partner (i.e., on a first-in-first-out basis).

(c) Irrevocability, Special Withdrawals. Subject to the following sentence, withdrawal requests are irrevocable upon receipt by the General Partner (or its designee), but such irrevocability may be waived at the General Partner’s sole discretion. The General Partner may permit a Limited Partner to withdraw all or any portion of a Capital Account at such other times and subject to such other terms (including reduced notice periods), as it, in its sole discretion, determines. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, prior to any revocation of a withdrawal request or any withdrawals (other than as of a month-end with a Proper Withdrawal Notice), the General Partner shall consult with counsel to the Partnership (including, for this purpose, in-house counsel) to ensure that such revocation or other withdrawal would not create a substantial risk, either alone or with other Transfers, withdrawals or revocations, that the Partnership would be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

- 58 -

(d) Payment of Withdrawal Proceeds.

(i) The Partnership shall endeavor to distribute (subject to the Partnership’s ability to make a corresponding withdrawal of interests in the Aggregators and/or the applicable Designated Parallel Vehicles) a Limited Partner’s withdrawal request within a reasonable time after the Investments are monetized in the ordinary course; provided that if a Limited Partner requests to withdraw 90% or more of the value of its Capital Account in the aggregate during a Fiscal Year by means of one or more withdrawals, then an amount equal to not less than 95% of the estimated balance of the withdrawal proceeds (net of any reserves and holdbacks made pursuant to Section 6.02(e) (Reserves and Holdbacks)) payable at such time to such Limited Partner (computed on the basis of unaudited data) will be paid within such time period; it being understood that any amount held back pending an audit pursuant to this Agreement is in addition to any reserves and holdbacks the General Partner may in its sole discretion make pursuant to Section 6.02(e) (Reserves and Holdbacks). The balance will be distributed, without interest, within 30 calendar days following the completion and issuance by the Partnership of the audit of the Partnership’s financial statements for the Fiscal Year in which such Withdrawal Date occurs. Until distribution, such balance shall not participate in the profits and losses of the Partnership (including any accrued but unpaid interest income in respect of the Partnership’s assets). For the avoidance of doubt, the General Partner shall be entitled to satisfy a withdrawal by withdrawing corresponding amounts from any of the Aggregators and Designated Parallel Vehicles in any proportion regardless of the proportionate portions of a Limited Partner’s Capital Account that are invested in such Aggregators and Designated Parallel Vehicles, including by withdrawing the entire amount from only one of such vehicles.

(ii) Any distributions in respect of a Non-USD Sub-Series Partner’s withdrawal from its Capital Account with respect to such Non-USD Sub-Series shall be paid in the applicable Non-USD Currency by converting the U.S. dollar amount into such Non-USD Currency and shall be reduced by any Conversion Expenses.

(e) Reserves and Holdbacks. Distributions on withdrawals may be reduced by reserves and holdbacks established in accordance with Section 5.07 (Liabilities) for estimated accrued expenses, liabilities and contingencies (even if such reserves or holdbacks are not otherwise required by GAAP), as determined by the General Partner, in its sole discretion.

(f) Withdrawals by the General Partner. The General Partner may withdraw all or any portion of its Capital Account as of any Withdrawal Date.

Section 6.03 Required Withdrawals. The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, subject to the Delaware Act, and at any time (including during a period

- 59 -

of suspension pursuant to Section 6.07(b) (Suspensions)), upon prior written notice, require the withdrawal of all or any part of the Capital Account balance of any Limited Partner, for any reason or no reason. Distributions in respect of required withdrawals shall be made in the same manner as distributions with respect to voluntary withdrawals as set forth in this Article VI (Withdrawals and Distributions of Capital).

Section 6.04 Death, Disability, etc., of Limited Partners. The withdrawal, death, disability, incapacity, adjudication of incompetency, termination, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of a Limited Partner shall not, in and of itself, dissolve the Partnership and the remaining Partners shall continue the Partnership and its business and affairs until its liquidation in accordance with Article VIII. The legal representatives of a Limited Partner shall succeed as assignee to the Limited Partner’s Interest subject to all the obligations with respect to the Interests of such affect Limited Partner as of the death, disability, incapacity, adjudication of incompetency, termination, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of such Limited Partner, but shall not be admitted as a substituted Partner without the written consent of the General Partner, which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion.

Section 6.05 Distributions.

(a) Forms of Distributions. The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, make distributions (following similar payments of withdrawal proceeds from the Aggregators and/or Designated Parallel Vehicles) in cash, in kind, or in a combination thereof, in connection with a withdrawal of capital from the Partnership by a Partner or pursuant to Section 6.03 (Required Withdrawals), or Section 6.05(b) (Quarterly Interest Distributions). In each case, the assets to be distributed in kind to any withdrawing Partners or Partners that have elected to receive Quarterly Distributions may be allocated among such withdrawing Partners or Partners that have elected to receive Quarterly Distributions (as the case may be) in such proportions as may be determined by the General Partner, in its sole discretion (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be different than if such distributions were made pro rata in accordance with such Partners’ Partnership Percentages). The General Partner also may, in its sole discretion, make distributions in cash or in kind, or in a combination thereof, at any time to all of the Partners, and such distributions shall not be required to be made on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Partners’ Partnership Percentages.

(b) Quarterly Interest Distributions. Each Limited Partner may elect to designate its Interests as the “Distributing Interests” in accordance with such Limited Partner’s Subscription Agreement. Each Limited Partner electing such designation shall have net cash interest income (net of expenses as set forth in Section 4.08(c) (Operating Expenses) and reserves) received by the Partnership that is deemed by the General Partner, in its sole discretion, to be attributable to such Limited Partner’s Capital Account relating to the “Distributing Interests” distributed to such Limited Partner, subject to Section 6.05(f) (Withholding), on a quarterly basis (such distribution, the “Quarterly Distribution”). Any such distributions to a Limited Partner shall not be treated as voluntary withdrawals by such Limited Partner of its Capital Account pursuant to Section 6.02(a) (Voluntary Withdrawals) for purposes of

- 60 -

determining the Adjusted Contributions of such Limited Partner. Following any Limited Partner’s withdrawal from its Capital Account, such Limited Partner shall no longer be entitled to any Quarterly Distributions in respect of such withdrawal amount following the Withdrawal Date for such withdrawal. For the avoidance of doubt, any Quarterly Distribution in respect of a Non-USD Sub-Series shall be paid in the applicable Non-USD Currency and shall be reduced by any Conversion Expenses.

(c) Reserved.

(d) In-Kind Distributions and Special Purpose Vehicles. The General Partner may choose, in its sole discretion, which assets of the Partnership to distribute in kind. If a distribution is made in kind, immediately prior to such distribution, the General Partner shall determine, in its discretion, the fair value of the property distributed and adjust the Capital Accounts of all Partners upwards or downwards to reflect the difference between the book value and the fair value thereof, as if such gain or loss had been recognized upon an actual sale of such property and allocated pursuant to Section 5.04 (Allocation of Net Capital Appreciation or Net Capital Depreciation). Each such distribution shall reduce the Capital Account(s) the distributee Partner by the fair value thereof (as determined by the General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). In-kind distributions may be comprised of, among other things, interests in Special Purpose Vehicles holding the actual Investment or participations in the actual Investment or participation notes (or similar derivative instruments), which provide a return with respect to certain Financial Instruments of the Partnership. The holders of interests in Special Purpose Vehicle shall bear the expenses of such Special Purpose Vehicle.

(e) Applicability. The provisions of this Section 6.05 (Distributions) shall apply to distributions made (i) in connection with (x) any withdrawal under this Article VI (Withdrawals and Distributions of Capital) and (y) termination of the Partnership pursuant to Article VIII (Duration and Dissolution of the Partnership) or (ii) otherwise.

(f) Withholding.

(i) If the General Partner determines that the Partnership, any Aggregator or any Special Purpose Vehicle is required by law to withhold or to make payments of Withholding Taxes on behalf of or with respect to any Partner or as a result of a Partner’s participation in the Partnership, the General Partner may withhold (or cause to be withheld) such amounts and make such tax payments as so required.

(ii) All Withholding Taxes made on behalf of a Partner or as a result of a Partner’s participation in the Partnership (other than by way of withholding on amounts otherwise distributable) shall, at the option of the General Partner, be promptly paid to the Partnership by the Partner on whose behalf such Withholding Taxes were made or be repaid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions

- 61 -

which would otherwise have been made to such Partner or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the withdrawal proceeds or proceeds on liquidation otherwise payable to such Partner; provided, that (A) if the amount of the next succeeding distribution or distributions or proceeds on withdrawal or liquidation are reduced, such amount shall include an amount to cover interest on the Withholding Tax at the lesser of (1) the rate of 8% per annum (compounded annually), and (2) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, (B) should the General Partner elect to so reduce such distributions or proceeds, the General Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the applicable Partner of its intention to do so, and (C) in the event that a Limited Partner pays any such amounts to the Partnership such payment shall not constitute a Capital Contribution. Whenever the General Partner makes any such reduction of the proceeds payable to a Partner pursuant to the preceding sentence for repayment of a Withholding Tax by such Partner or a Withholding Tax is made by way of withholding on amounts otherwise distributable, for all other purposes of this Agreement such Partner shall be treated as having a Capital Account and as having received all distributions (whether before or upon withdrawal or liquidation) unreduced by the amount of such Withholding Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, all references in this Section 6.05(f) (Withholding) to any Partner shall include any Feeder Fund Investor, as applicable. Unless otherwise agreed to by the General Partner in writing, each Partner shall indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership and the General Partner from and against any liability with respect to any Withholding Tax required to be paid on behalf of or otherwise paid with respect to such Partner, other than any such Withholding Tax that arises as a result of the gross negligence of the General Partner.

(iii) If a Withholding Tax is required to be made by the Partnership, any Intermediate Vehicle and any other Blocker Entity, any Aggregator or any Special Purpose Vehicle and the General Partner determines that such amount is allocable to the interest in the Partnership of a Person that is at such time a Partner, such Withholding Tax shall be treated as being made on behalf of or with respect to such Partner or as a result of such Partner’s participation in the Partnership for purposes of this Section 6.05(f) (Withholding) whether or not the tax in question applies to a taxable period of the Partnership during which such Partner held an interest in the Partnership.

(iv) If any liability with respect to any Withholding Tax relates to a Former Partner or any Partner that has made a withdrawal, been withdrawn (including compulsorily pursuant to Section 6.03 (Required Withdrawals)) or has Transferred all or part of its interest in the Partnership, such Former Partner (which in the case of a partial withdrawal or Transfer shall include a continuing Partner with respect to the portion of its interest in the Partnership so withdrawn or Transferred) shall indemnify

- 62 -

the Partnership for its allocable portion of such liability (as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion), unless otherwise agreed to by the General Partner in writing. Each Partner acknowledges that, notwithstanding the withdrawal or Transfer of all or any portion of its interest in the Partnership, it shall remain liable, pursuant to this Section 6.05(f) (Withholding), for tax liabilities with respect to its allocable share of income and gain of the Partnership or Special Purpose Vehicle for all taxable years (or portions thereof) prior to such withdrawal or Transfer, as applicable (including any liabilities arising under Section 6225 or Section 1446(f) of the Internal Revenue Code).

(v) If any amount required to be withheld was not, in fact, actually withheld from distributions, the General Partner may, at its option, (i) require the affected Partner or Former Partner to reimburse the Partnership for such withholding or (ii) reduce any subsequent distributions to such Partner by the amount required to be but not withheld. Each Partner and Former Partner shall indemnify the General Partner and the Partnership against any losses and liabilities (including interest and penalties) related to any withholding obligations with respect to allocations or distributions made to such Partner by the Partnership, other than any such losses and liabilities (including interest and penalties) that arise as a result of the gross negligence of the General Partner. To the extent that a tax liability imposed under Section 6225 of the Internal Revenue Code relates to a Former Partner, such Former Partner shall indemnify the Partnership for its allocable portion of such tax, unless such indemnity is waived by the General Partner in its sole discretion. Each Partner acknowledges that, notwithstanding the withdrawal, sale, assignment, pledge or other transfer of all or any portion of its Interest it may remain liable, pursuant to this Section 6.05(f) (Withholding), for tax liabilities arising in respect of its Interest for the taxable years (or portions thereof) prior to such sale, assignment, pledge or other transfer, as applicable, under Section 6225 of the Internal Revenue Code or otherwise hereunder.

(vi) The General Partner shall not be obligated to apply for or obtain a reduction of or exemption from Withholding Tax on behalf of any Partner that may be eligible for such reduction or exemption. Each Partner shall furnish the General Partner with such information and forms as such Partner may be required to complete where necessary to comply with any and all laws and regulations governing the obligations of Withholding Tax agents, including if a Partner claims entitlement to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, a Withholding Tax pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with any tax audit under the BBA Audit Rules (including to reduce any imputed underpayment under Section 6225 of the Internal Revenue Code) or otherwise. Each Partner represents and warrants that any information and forms furnished by such Partner will be true and accurate and agrees to indemnify the Partnership and each of the Partners

- 63 -

from any and all damages, taxes, costs and expenses resulting from any inaccurate or incomplete information or forms provided by such Partner.

(g) BHC Limited Partners. The General Partner shall give at least 15 days’ prior written notice to each Limited Partner that is a BHC Limited Partner of any proposal to distribute property in-kind to such Limited Partner and the proposed date of such distribution, and shall not make any such distribution in-kind to the extent that such BHC Limited Partner advises the General Partner at least five days prior to the date set forth in such notice for such distribution that such distribution in-kind is reasonably expected to cause such BHC Limited Partner to violate the BHCA.

(h) Distributions at the Level of the Aggregators and the Designated Parallel Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.05 (Distributions) to the contrary, all or a portion of any amount distributed pursuant to this Section 6.05 (Distributions) may be made or calculated at the level of the Aggregators and/or the Designated Parallel Vehicles with the distributions of a Partner being adjusted accordingly.

(i) Limitation on Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Partnership and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, shall not be required to make a distribution to any Partner on account of its interest in the Partnership if the General Partner determines, in its sole discretion, that such distribution would be likely to violate applicable law.

Section 6.06 Effective Date of Withdrawal. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, the effective date of a Partner’s withdrawal shall mean (i) the Withdrawal Date, in the case of a withdrawal pursuant to Section 6.02(a) (Voluntary Withdrawals Generally), or (ii) the date determined by the General Partner if such Partner shall be required to withdraw from the Partnership pursuant to Section 6.03 (Required Withdrawals).

Section 6.07 Additional Limitations on Withdrawal of Capital Account.

(a) Limitation on Withdrawals and Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the right of any Partner or its legal representatives to withdraw any amount from its Capital Account(s) and to have distributed to it any such amount (or any portion thereof) pursuant to this Article VI (Withdrawals and Distributions of Capital) is subject to the provision by the General Partner for all Partnership liabilities in accordance with the Delaware Act and for reserves and holdbacks in accordance with Section 5.07 (Liabilities). In addition, no withdrawal or distribution shall be permitted that would result in a Capital Account having a negative balance immediately after giving effect to such distribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Partnership, and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, shall not be required to make a distribution to any Partner on account of its interest in the Partnership if the General Partner determines, in its sole discretion, that such distribution would be likely to violate applicable law.

- 64 -

(b) Suspensions. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may suspend withdrawal rights, Quarterly Distributions and/or the determination of the Net Asset Value of each Limited Partner’s Capital Account(s), in whole or in part:

(i) during any period in which any stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which a substantial portion of the Partnership’s Investments are quoted, traded or dealt in is closed, other than for ordinary holidays and weekends, or during periods in which dealings are restricted or suspended;

(ii) during any period during which, in the opinion of the General Partner, disposal of a portion of Investments by the Partnership would not be reasonable or practical;

(iii) during any breakdown in the means of communication normally employed in determining the price or value of the Partnership’s assets or liabilities or current prices in any securities market, or when for any other reason the General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines that the prices or values of any assets or liabilities of the Partnership cannot reasonably be promptly and accurately ascertained;

(iv) during any period when the transfer of funds involved in the realization or acquisition of any Investments cannot be, in the General Partner’s sole discretion, effected at normal rates of exchange;

(v) when there exists, in the opinion of the General Partner, a state of affairs in which disposal of Partnership assets, or the determination of the Net Asset Value of the Partnership, would not be reasonably practicable or where permitting withdrawals or disposing of Partnership assets is, in the opinion of the General Partner, likely to be prejudicial to the non-withdrawing Limited Partners, the Fund as a whole or any Apollo Clients;

(vi) for any period during which a withdrawal would cause a breach, default or other termination event under any covenant in any agreement entered into by the Partnership, including any margin lending agreement, securities lending agreement, master repurchase agreement, ISDA master agreement, bank account agreement or similar agreement;

(vii) during any period in which its investment subsidiaries, any Aggregator and/or any Subsidiary (including any Special Purpose Vehicles) has suspended redemption or withdrawal rights and/or the determination of the net asset value of such investment subsidiary, Aggregator and/or any such Subsidiary, as applicable; and

(viii) in the event of the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership, the STE Fund, any Aggregator, any Feeder Fund or any Parallel Fund.

- 65 -

Any suspension of withdrawals and/or the making of Quarterly Distributions will take effect at such time as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, shall declare and thereafter, there shall be no voluntary withdrawals and/or Quarterly Distributions until the General Partner declares any such suspension to be at an end. Such suspension will terminate in any event on the day following the first Business Day on which the condition giving rise to the suspension has ceased to exist; provided that the General Partner has not declared a suspension on other grounds.

During the period of any suspended withdrawals or distributions, the Limited Partner’s investments will continue to be at risk in the Partnership’s business. Upon a suspension of withdrawal rights, all pending withdrawal requests will be automatically revoked, and no requests subsequently received will be valid until such time as the General Partner permits Limited Partners to submit withdrawal requests in anticipation of lifting the suspension. The Management Fee may continue to be made during any suspension.

(c) Aggregator Suspensions. Each of the Aggregators and the Subsidiaries shall have the right to suspend withdrawal rights, in whole or in part, and/or suspend the determination of net asset value of such Aggregator or any such Subsidiary (as applicable) under the same circumstances (with the required changes) under which the Partnership may suspend withdrawal rights and/or the determination of the net asset value of the Partnership, as applicable. If an Aggregator and any Subsidiary suspend withdrawal rights, in whole or in part, and/or suspend the determination of net asset value of such Aggregator or any such Subsidiary (as applicable), the Partnership generally will suspend withdrawal rights and/or the determination of the net asset value of the Partnership on the same terms.

(d) Pending Withdrawals Upon Suspension. Upon the determination by the General Partner, in its sole discretion, that any of the conditions for suspension of withdrawals under Section 6.07(b) (Suspensions) no longer applies, withdrawal rights, Quarterly Distributions shall be promptly reinstated, and any pending withdrawal requests shall be honored, subject to any other limitations on withdrawals that may exist at the time, as of the end of the month following such determination. Management Fees may continue to be paid during any suspension pursuant to Section 6.07(b) (Suspensions) or Section 8.02(c) (Withdrawals Upon Winding Up).

(e) Suspension of Payment of Withdrawal Proceeds. The General Partner may suspend the payment of withdrawal proceeds and Quarterly Distributions to any Limited Partner if the General Partner reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with laws and regulations (including anti-money laundering laws and regulations) applicable to the Partnership, the Aggregators, the General Partner, the Investment Manager, the Administrator or their respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries or associates or any of the Partnership’s other service providers.

(f) General Partner Actions During Suspension Period. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during any period in which the determination of the Net Asset Value of the Partnership, the Net Asset Value of each Limited Partner’s Capital Account(s) withdrawal rights, and/or Quarterly Distributions are

- 66 -

suspended, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion (i) require any Partner to withdraw from the Partnership and/or terminate all or any part of an Interest, in accordance with Section 6.03 (Required Withdrawals) and (ii) make distributions in accordance with Section 6.05 (Distributions). Management Fees may continue to be paid during any suspensions pursuant to this Section 6.07 (Additional Limitations on Withdrawal of Capital Account) or Section 8.02(c) (Withdrawals Upon Winding Up).

Section 6.08 Withdrawals by BHC Limited Partners. If at any time as a result of proposed withdrawals by or distributions to other Partners, or for any other reason, the General Partner expects a BHC Limited Partner’s Interest to equal or exceed 25% of the aggregate Capital Account balances of all of the Partners, the General Partner shall immediately notify such BHC Limited Partner and permit such BHC Limited Partner to withdraw so much of its capital in the Partnership as shall be necessary to maintain such BHC Limited Partner’s total investment in the Partnership at a level below 25% of the aggregate Capital Account balances of all the Partners.

Article VII

TRANSFERS OF INTEREST

Section 7.01 Assignability of Interests. Without the prior written notice to and approval of the General Partner, a Limited Partner may not make a Transfer except by operation of law. Prior to approving any Transfer, the General Partner shall consult with counsel to the Partnership (including, for this purpose, in-house counsel) to ensure that such Transfer would not create a substantial risk, either alone or with other Transfers or withdrawals, that the Partnership would be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The approval of the General Partner shall be withheld and a proposed Transfer will not be permitted unless (i) the transaction (A) complies with U.S. federal and any applicable state securities laws, (B) complies with all other applicable U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. laws, (C) shall not subject the Partnership to the registration or reporting requirements of the Investment Company Act, (D) shall not create, either alone or with other Transfers, a substantial risk (as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion) that the Partnership would be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and (E) complies with all applicable anti-money laundering rules; (ii) upon reasonable request of the General Partner, such Limited Partner shall have delivered to the General Partner an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the General Partner, that such transaction complies with the conditions set forth in clauses (A) through (E) above and such other matters as the General Partner may reasonably request; provided that the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may waive all or any part of the opinion required by (ii) above if it has a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the requirements set forth in (i) above, as to which the opinion is waived, are or shall be satisfied; and (iii) pursuant to such Transfer, the transferee agrees to assume any obligations applicable to the transferor under this Agreement; provided that the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may waive the requirement set forth in this clause (iii) with respect to any transferee. The General Partner may also request officer certificates and

- 67 -

representations and warranties from the transferee and transferor as to the matters set forth in clauses (A) through (G) above and such other factual matters as the General Partner may reasonably request. Any attempted Transfer not made in accordance with this Section 7.01 (Assignability of Interests), to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be null and void.

(b) The Partnership receives a copy of all documents effecting the Transfer from the Transferor to the Transferee;

(c) The General Partner consents in writing to the admission of the Transferee as a Substitute Limited Partner;

(d) The Transferee has executed an instrument, in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner, accepting and agreeing to adhere to and be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

(e) The Transfer will not result in a violation of any state or federal statute, regulation, court order, judicial decree or rule of law by any of the Partnership, the General Partner, the Investment Manager, any other Partnership entity and related entities or any Investment, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, either generally or with respect to any additional tax, regulatory, legal, anti-money laundering or other burden or requirements.

Section 7.03 Allocations Upon Transfer. In the event of the Transfer of a Partner’s Interest at any time other than the end of a Fiscal Year, the various items of Partnership income, gain, deduction, loss, credit and allowance as computed for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be allocated between the Transferor and the Transferee in the ratio of the number of days in the Fiscal Year before and after the Transfer, unless the Transferor and the Transferee shall (i) have given the Partnership written notice, on or before January 15 following the year in which such Transfer occurred, stating their agreement that such allocation shall be made on some other proper basis, and (ii) agree to reimburse the Partnership for any incidental accounting fees and other expenses incurred by the Partnership in making such allocation.

Section 7.04 Transfer by the General Partner. Any Transfer by the General Partner of its general partner interest in the Partnership that constitutes a deemed assignment of the Investment Management Agreement under the Advisers Act may not be made without the consent of a Majority-in-Interest of the Limited Partners as required under Section 205(a)(2) of the Advisers Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the General Partner may Transfer all or any part of its general partner interest in the

- 68 -

Partnership if any such Transfer does not constitute such a deemed assignment under the Advisers Act. If the General Partner Transfers its entire interest as the general partner of the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement, the transferee shall automatically be admitted to the Partnership as the replacement general partner immediately prior to such transfer without any further action, approval or vote of any other Person, including any other Partner, upon the execution of a counterpart signature page to this Agreement, and such transferee shall continue the business of the Partnership without dissolution.

Section 7.05 Conditions to Succession to Capital Accounts. If the General Partner consents to a Transfer upon compliance with Section 7.01 (Assignability of Interests), the Transferee shall be admitted as a substituted Limited Partner and shall succeed proportionately to the Capital Account balance of its Transferor (and its Transferor shall be proportionately relieved of further obligations under this Agreement and shall, if requested by the General Partner, expressly acknowledge such liability in such agreements as may be entered into by such Transferor in connection with such Transfer) only upon compliance with the following additional conditions: (i) the General Partner shall have consented to such admission, which consent may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion; (ii) the proposed Transferee shall have executed an amendment, counterpart or supplement to this Agreement, and shall have executed such other instruments as the General Partner may deem necessary or desirable to admit such transferee as a substituted Limited Partner and to evidence such substituted Limited Partner’s agreement to adhere to and be bound by and to comply with the terms and provisions hereof; and (iii) the Transferor shall have paid or caused to have been paid to the Partnership all of the Partnership’s out-of-pocket expenses connected with such Transfer and substitution (including, but not limited to, the reasonable legal and accounting expenses incurred by the Partnership).

Section 7.06 Null and Void Transfer. Unless waived by the General Partner, any purported Transfer by any Limited Partner (including transferees thereof or substituted partners therefor) of any interest in the Partnership not made strictly in accordance with the provisions of this Article VII or otherwise not permitted by this Agreement shall be entirely null and void.

Section 7.07 Recognition of Limited Partners. Unless named in this Agreement and the books and records of the Partnership, or unless admitted to the Partnership as a Partner as provided in this Agreement and named on the books and records of the Partnership, no Person shall be considered a Partner. The Partnership and the General Partner shall not be required to recognize any Person as a Limited Partner or otherwise merely because of the Transfer of all or any portion of a Partner’s interest in the Partnership to such Person, unless such Transfer is made in accordance with Section 7.01 (Assignability of Interests) and such Person is admitted as a substituted Limited Partner in accordance with Section 7.05 (Conditions to Succession to Capital Accounts).

The General Partner shall, for and on behalf of the Partnership, take all steps as may be required or advisable to maintain the Partnership’s classification as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(d) Survival. The provisions of this Section 9.06 (Tax Matters) shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall continue to apply to any Former Partner, notwithstanding the withdrawal, sale, assignment, pledge or other Transfer of all or any portion of its Interests in the Partnership.

Article X

Confidential Information

Section 10.01 Confidentiality.

(a) In connection with the organization of the Partnership and its ongoing business, the Limited Partners will receive or have access to Confidential Information. Subject to express permissions granted under any Other Agreement between a Partner and the General Partner, each Limited Partner agrees to keep confidential, and not to make any use of (other than for purposes reasonably related to its Interest or for purposes of filing such Limited Partner’s tax returns) or disclose to any Person, any Confidential Information except to its Authorized Representatives on a need-to-know basis or as otherwise required by any regulatory authority, law or

- 75 -

regulation, or by legal process. Prior to making any disclosure required by any regulatory authority, law or regulation, or by legal process, each Limited Partner shall use its reasonable best efforts to notify the General Partner of such disclosure. Prior to any disclosure to any Authorized Representative of a Limited Partner, such Limited Partner must advise such Authorized Representative of the obligations set forth in this Section 10.01 (Confidentiality). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall prohibit any Partner from reporting possible violations of federal or state laws or regulations to any federal or state governmental agency, including, but not limited to, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, U.S. Congress and any U.S. agency Inspector General, or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of U.S. federal or state laws or regulations, nor shall anything herein require such Partner to notify the General Partner that it has made such reports or disclosures.

(b) Each Limited Partner agrees that the General Partner has the right to keep confidential from the Limited Partners, for such period of time as the General Partner in its sole discretion deems reasonable, any Confidential Information.

Section 10.02 Equitable and Injunctive Relief. The Partners acknowledge that (a) the provisions of Section 10.01 (Confidentiality) are intended to preserve the unique relationship between the Partners; (b) the provisions of Section 10.01 (Confidentiality) are intended to preserve the value and goodwill of the Fund’s business; and (c) in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by any Partner of its obligations under Section 10.01 (Confidentiality), the Fund or any other Partner will not have an adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach by a Partner, the Fund and any of the other Partners shall be entitled to such equitable and injunctive relief as may be available to restrain such Partner and any Person participating in such breach or threatened breach from the violation of the provisions thereof. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting the Fund or any Partner from pursuing any other remedies available at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages.

Section 10.03 Restricted Information.

(a) The General Partner may, to the maximum extent permitted by law or this Agreement, keep confidential from any Limited Partner any information (including MNPTI) the disclosure of which the General Partner determines, in its sole discretion, (i) is required by law, agreement or otherwise to be kept confidential, or (ii) may have an adverse effect on (x) the ability to entertain, negotiate or consummate any proposed Investment or any transaction directly or indirectly related to, or giving rise to, such proposed Investment, (y) the Fund, the General Partner or any of their Affiliates or (z) any Person that is, directly or indirectly, the subject of an Investment.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, including any requirement to provide lists of Investments and valuation information or to allow the inspection of the Partnership’s books, if the General Partner determines, in its sole discretion, that there is a reasonable likelihood that a Limited Partner shall be

- 76 -

required to disclose any information that is to be provided or disclosed to such Limited Partner, then such information, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may be adjusted, in the General Partner’s sole discretion, so that any financial information, valuation or other confidential information is not disclosed to any Limited Partner that is directly or indirectly subject to either (i) Section 552(a) of Title 5, United States Code (commonly known as the “Freedom of Information Act”) or (ii) similar public disclosure law whether currently in force or enacted in the future (a “Public Fund Partner”). The provisions of this Section 10.03(b) (Restricted Information) shall also apply to any Limited Partner that is acting as an agent or trustee for a Public Fund Partner where financial information, valuation or other confidential information could at any time become available to the Public Fund Partner. At the General Partner’s reasonable request, to the extent permitted by applicable law, a Public Fund Partner shall promptly return all financial information, valuation or other confidential information, whether stored in hard copy or in any electronic device or medium.

- 79 -

would not materially adversely affect the ability of the Partnership, the General Partner or the Investment Manager to satisfy any requirements, conditions or guidelines contained in any opinion, directive, order, ruling or regulation (including ERISA) of any U.S. federal or state agency or contained in any U.S. federal or state statute; (x) make any change that adds to the duties or obligations of the General Partner; (xi) make any change that benefits the Limited Partners; (xii) make those amendments contemplated by Section 11.05(c) (Amendments and Waivers Related to Changes in Tax Law); or (xiii) make any other amendments similar to the foregoing. Any amendment adopted in accordance with this Section 11.05(b) (Amendment or Waiver by the General Partner) shall not require execution by the Limited Partners.

(c) Amendments and Waivers Related to Changes in Tax Law. Notwithstanding Section 11.05(a) (Amendment or Waiver by General Partner and Limited Partners) or Section 11.05(b) (Amendment or Waiver by the General Partner), the General Partner, without the consent of any Limited Partner, may amend or waive any provision of this Agreement (i) to address any change in law that affects the tax treatment of any income allocated to the General Partner, its Affiliates, any Schedule I Limited Partner or any Person providing management services to the Partnership in respect of any interest in the Partnership held by the General Partner, its Affiliates or any Person providing management services to the Partnership or (ii) to enable, when applicable, the Partnership (or the Partnership Representative) to comply with the BBA Audit Rules or to make any elections or take any other actions available thereunder.

(d) Adverse Amendments Withdrawal Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.05 (Amendments to Partnership Agreement), this Agreement may be amended by the General Partner without the consent of the Limited Partners, at any time and without limitation, if any Limited Partner that would be materially and adversely affected by such amendment is given a reasonable opportunity to withdraw from the Partnership prior to the effective date of such amendment.

(e) Consent Process; Notification. With respect to any proposed amendment or waiver to this Agreement which, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, requires the prior written consent of any Limited Partner, the General Partner shall send a written notice to the Limited Partners (an “Amendment Notice”), setting forth in reasonable detail the purpose of the proposed amendment or waiver, the wording of the proposed amendment or waiver, the date by which any Limited Partner must respond to such proposed amendment or waiver and, if applicable, the effective date of the proposed amendment or waiver. If any Limited Partner fails to respond in writing to the General Partner within 30 days after the date of delivery of the Amendment Notice, such Limited Partner shall be deemed to have consented to the proposed amendment or waiver. Within a reasonable period after any amendment or waiver to this Agreement made in accordance with this Article XI (Miscellaneous), the General Partner shall send a written notice to each Limited Partner describing such amendment or waiver in reasonable detail (which notice shall include (and may solely consist of) a copy of the amendment or waiver).

- 81 -

Limited Partners, excluding any other Interests that are Non-Voting Interests pursuant to this Section 11.07 (Non-Voting Interests of BHC Limited Partners and Registered Fund Limited Partners), shall be deemed to be Non-Voting Interests in whole or to the extent of such excess above 4.99% (whether or not subsequently transferred, in whole or in part, to any other Person); provided that such Non-Voting Interests shall be permitted to vote (i) on any proposal to dissolve or continue the business of the Partnership, and (ii) on matters with respect to which voting rights are not considered to be “voting securities” under 12 C.F.R. § 225.2(q)(2), including such matters which may “significantly and adversely” affect a BHC Limited Partner (such as amendments to this Agreement or modifications of the terms of its Interest). To the extent permitted by the BHCA, and except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.07 (Non-Voting Interests of BHC Limited Partners and Registered Fund Limited Partners), Non-Voting Interests shall not be counted as Interests held by any Limited Partner for purposes of determining whether any vote or consent required by this Agreement has been approved or given by the requisite percentage of the Limited Partners.

(b) A BHC Limited Partner shall be permitted to vote on the selection of any successor General Partner only to the extent of its voting Interests, and each BHC Limited Partner irrevocably waives its right to vote its Non-Voting Interest on the selection of a successor General Partner under the Delaware Act, which waiver shall be binding upon such BHC Limited Partner or any Person that succeeds to its Interest.

(e) Except as provided in this Section 11.07 (Non-Voting Interests of BHC Limited Partners and Registered Fund Limited Partners), an Interest held by a Limited Partner as a Non-Voting Interest shall be identical in all regards to all other Interests held by Limited Partners.
