Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by either the chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Lead Independent Director, the chief executive officer of the Company, the chief executive officer of a Series, or, upon a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors, by the Secretary (or other officer of the Company or a Series if the Secretary is unavailable) on twenty-four (24) hours’ notice to each Director, either personally or by telephone or by mail, facsimile, wireless or other form of recorded or electronic communication or electronic transmission, or on such shorter notice as the person or persons calling such meeting may deem necessary or appropriate under the circumstances. Notice of any such meeting need not be given to any Director, however, if waived by such Director in writing or by electronic transmission, or if such Director shall be present at such meeting, except if the Director attends the meeting for the express purposes of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 5.7 Telephonic Meetings Permitted. Members of the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or such committee by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all

Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence at such meeting.

Section 5.8 Quorum; Voting. At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the Directors then in office (but not fewer than one-third of the total number of authorized Directors (assuming no vacancies)) shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. At all meetings of any committee of the Board of Directors, the presence of a majority of Directors who are the authorized voting members of such committee (assuming no vacancies) shall constitute a quorum. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the vote of a majority of the Directors or voting committee members present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors or such committee, as the case may be. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee, a majority of the Directors or members, as the case may be, present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice other than announcement of the meeting. If a Director elects to abstain from voting on any matter in which he or she has a conflict of interest, the vote of a majority of the then total number of Directors who have not so abstained shall be the act of the Board of Directors.

Section 5.9 Organization. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may appoint a “Chair” or “Chairperson”, “Vice-chairperson”, and “Secretary” of the Board of Directors. If the Chairperson appointed by the Board of Directors is not an Independent Director, the Board of Directors shall appoint one of its members who qualifies as an Independent Director to serve as “Lead Independent Director.” The Lead Independent Director shall preside over each executive session of the Independent Directors and have and perform such other duties as provided herein or as may be from time to time assigned by the Board of Directors and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. At each meeting of the Board of Directors, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, or in the Chairperson of the Board of Directors’ absence, the Lead Independent Director, or in the Lead Independent Director’s absence, a Director chosen by a majority of the Directors present, shall act as chairperson of the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of each meeting of the Board of Directors. In case the Secretary of the Board of Directors shall be absent from any meeting of the Board of Directors, an assistant secretary shall perform the duties of secretary at such meeting; and in the absence from any such meeting of the Secretary and all assistant secretaries, the chairperson of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

Section 5.10 Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting by the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, as the case may be, may be taken without a meeting if a consent thereto is signed or transmitted electronically, as the case may be by the members of the Board of Directors or of such committee having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all members of the Board of Directors or of such committee entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

Section 5.11 Committees.

(a) The Board of Directors may designate one (1) or more committees consisting of one (1) or more Directors or other persons, which, to the extent provided in such designation or otherwise delegated by the Board of Directors, shall have and may exercise, subject to the provisions of the Act and this Agreement, the powers and authority of the Board of Directors. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. A majority of the total number of members of such committee (assuming no vacancies) may fix the time and place, if any, of its meetings and specify what notice thereof, if any, shall be given unless the Board of Directors shall otherwise provide. The Board of Directors shall have the power to change the members of any such committee at any time, to fill vacancies, and to discharge any such committee, either with or without cause, at any time. The Secretary shall act as Secretary of any committee, unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors or the committee.

(b) The Board of Directors shall have an Audit Committee. Such committee shall have and exercise such power and authority as the Board of Directors shall specify from time to time. Upon consideration of the criteria contained in Section 10A(m)(3) and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act, and Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, in each case including any amendments, replacements or successors thereto, each Director that is a member of such committee shall be an Independent Director. Each Director that is a member of such committee shall be “financially literate” as defined in Section 303A.07 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, including any amendments, replacements or successors thereto.

Section 5.12 Committee Observers. Any committee created by the Board of Directors may from time to time designate one or more individuals as observers of such committee (each, an “Observer”). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, any Observer designated by a committee of the Board of Directors may be removed at any time with or without cause by a majority of the voting members of such committee. The designation of any individual as an Observer may be subject to policies and procedures that the applicable committee may from time to time prescribe and each Observer, by virtue of accepting his or her designation as such, agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and each Series Agreement and to maintain the confidentiality of all information such Observer obtains in connection with their designation or service as such (and, in connection therewith, to execute an agreement regarding the disclosure and use of confidential information and containing such other provisions regarding the Observer’s conduct in such form as may be provided to such Observer by the Company). Each Observer shall have such rights to attend meetings of the applicable committee and receive notices and materials provided to such committee as may be determined from time to time by such committee; provided that any Observer may be excluded from any meeting or portion thereof, and that the Observer need not be given any notices, information or reports provided to the members of the applicable committee or other information or materials related thereto if (i) a majority of the members of such committee or (ii) the officer responsible for providing the notice, information or reports to such committee determines (x) that excluding the Observer or failing to give such notice, information or reports to such Observer is necessary or advisable to (1) preserve attorney-client, work product or similar privilege, (2) comply with the terms and conditions of confidentiality agreements with third parties or (3) comply with applicable law or (y) there exists, with respect to the subject of a meeting or the notices, information or reports provided to such committee, an actual or potential conflict of interest between the applicable committee, the Board of Directors or any other committee, the Company or a Series, on the one hand, and such Observer, on the other hand. The rights of the

Observers shall be limited to the rights expressly provided by the applicable committee (as may be further limited by this Agreement or any agreement between the Company and/or the Series and the Observer and/or its affiliates), and no Observer shall have any rights as a Director or member of any committee of the Board of Directors under this Agreement, the Act, any such agreement or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, each Observer shall: (i) not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at any meeting of any committee; (ii) not have the right to vote on any matter brought before a meeting of any committee or to participate in any action by consent in lieu of a meeting of any committee (and no vote or consent of any Observer shall be required for purposes of determining whether any matter has been approved by a committee); and (iii) shall not be entitled to any other rights or powers of Directors or members of any committee under this Agreement, the Act, applicable law or any agreement to which the Company or a Series is a party. Any Observer may resign as such at any time by delivering notice in writing or by electronic transmission of such resignation to the Company and the Series. Such resignation shall take effect at the time specified in such notice or, if the time be not specified, upon receipt thereof by the Company.

ARTICLE VI
OFFICERS

Section 6.1 Appointment, Selection and Designation of Officers. The Board of Directors may, from time to time as it deems advisable, select natural persons who are employees or agents of the Corporate Group Members and designate them as officers of the Company and the Series (“Officers”) and assign titles (including, without limitation, “chief executive officer,” “president,” “chief operating officer,” “chief financial officer,” “chief investment officer,” “chief administrative officer,” “chief compliance officer,” “principal accounting officer,” “chairperson,” “senior chairperson,” “executive vice chairperson,” “vice chairperson,” “vice president,” “treasurer,” “assistant treasurer,” “secretary,” “assistant secretary,” “general manager,” “senior managing director,” “managing director” and “director”) to any such persons. Unless otherwise specifically provided by the Board of Directors, any Officer of the Company shall also be an Officer of each Series with the same title. An Officer may be removed with or without cause by the Board of Directors. The removal of any Officer as an officer of the Company shall also constitute the removal of such Officer as an officer of each Series and as a member of any committee that such Officer is a member of, in their capacity as an Officer. Any vacancies occurring in any office may be filled by the Board of Directors in the same manner as such Officer is appointed and selected pursuant to this Section 6.1.

Section 6.2 Delegation of Duties. Unless the Board of Directors determines otherwise, if a title is one commonly used for officers of a corporation incorporated under the DGCL, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such person of the authorities and duties that are normally associated with that office with respect to the Company and each Series. The Board of Directors may delegate to any Officer any of the powers and authority of the Board of Directors to the extent permitted by applicable law, including the power to bind the Company and the Series. Any delegation pursuant to this Section 6.2 may be revoked at any time by the Board of Directors.

Section 6.3 Officers as Agents. The Officers, to the extent of their powers set forth under applicable law or this Agreement or otherwise vested in them by action of the Board of

Directors not inconsistent with applicable law or this Agreement, are agents of the Company and each Series for the purpose of the Company’s and each Series’ business and the actions of the Officers taken in accordance with such powers shall bind the Company and the applicable Series.

ARTICLE VII
SHARES; CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

Section 7.1 Members. Apollo Principal Holdings is the sole member of the Company generally and the sole member of the Company associated with each Series.

Section 7.2 Series.

(a) Each of Series I and Series II has previously been formed as a registered series of limited liability company interests or assets in or of the Company within the meaning of Section 18-218 of the Act. The terms of each Series shall be as set forth in this Agreement and in a separate Series Agreement for each Series as previously executed and attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference, but with any changes therein that the Board of Directors may determine in its sole discretion. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, (i) the terms and provisions of a Series Agreement may have the effect of altering, supplementing and amending the terms and provisions hereof, and (ii) to the extent that any of the terms or provisions of a Series Agreement conflict with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement as applied to the relevant Series, the terms or provisions of such Series Agreement shall control with respect to such Series.

(b) No debt, liability, obligation or expense of a Series shall be a debt, liability, obligation or expense of any other Series. The debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a Series shall be enforceable against the assets of such Series only and not against any other assets of the Company generally or any other Series, and none of the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to the Company generally or any other Series shall be enforceable against the assets of such Series. The records maintained for each Series shall account for the assets associated with such Series separately from the other assets of the Company, or any other Series, and assets associated with a Series may be held, directly or indirectly, including in the name of such Series, in the name of the Company, through a nominee or otherwise. Records maintained for a Series that reasonably identify its assets, including by specific listing, category, type, quantity, computational or allocational formula or procedure (including a percentage or share of any asset or assets) or by any other method where the identity of such assets is objectively determinable, will be deemed to account for the assets associated with such Series separately from the other assets of the Company or any other Series. The Board of Directors and the Company shall not commingle the assets of one Series with the assets of any other Series or the assets, if any, of the Company, generally. The Board of Directors may allocate assets, debts, liabilities, expenses or other obligations of the Company generally among the Series in such percentages and proportions as the Board of Directors may determine.

(c) The Board of Directors may cause the Company and any Series to allocate any property to any Series. Any person or entity issued Shares shall be bound by the terms of this

Agreement upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement which instrument may be a Subscription Agreement.

Section 7.3 Shares

(a) The equity interests in each Series shall be represented by the “Share” or “Shares” held by the Shareholders and Members in the Company associated with such Series. For the avoidance of doubt, Shares shall constitute economic interests in a Series and shall not confer on any holder thereof any limited liability company interest in the Company generally or in any other Series, or otherwise entitle the holder thereof to the rights of a member of the Company generally or associated with a Series. The Shares of Series I shall be divided into ten Types of Investor Shares and two Types of Apollo Shares, the Shares of Series II shall be divided into thirteen Types of Investor Shares and two Types of Apollo Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including Article XVII, Types of Investor Shares shall be subject to such sales loads, servicing fees, distribution fees, dealer manager fees, commissions, other fees, and minimum investment requirements described below, as may be determined by the Board of Directors from time to time in its sole discretion and set forth in the Company’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum.

(b) Investor Shares will be offered monthly on a continuous basis at NAV per Share. There shall be ten Types of Investor Shares in Series I: (i) Series I S Shares, (ii) Series I I Shares, (iii) Series I T-S Shares, (iv) Series I T-I Shares, (v) Series I P-S Shares, (vi) Series I P-I Shares, (vii) Series I F-S Shares, (viii) Series I F-I Shares, (ix) Series I A-I Shares, and (x) Series I A-II Shares. There shall be thirteen Types of Investor Shares in Series II: (i) Series II S Shares, (ii) Series II I Shares, (iii) Series II I (Acc) Shares, (iv) Series II T-S Shares, (v) Series II T-I Shares, (vi) Series II P-S Shares, (vii) Series II P-I Shares, (viii) Series II F-S Shares, (ix) Series II F-I Shares, (x) Series II F-I (Acc) Shares, (xi) Series II BD Shares, (xii) Series II A-I Shares, and (xiii) Series II A-II Shares.

(c) Founder Shares were offered to investors during the Initial Offer Period, and thereafter only (a) in connection with the DRIP and (b) to clients of designated Founder Intermediaries. The Company reserves the right to extend the Initial Offer Period in its sole discretion. If a Founder Intermediary later becomes designated as an Anchor I Intermediary, the Founder Shares of such financial intermediary’s client Shareholders will, as soon as practical, be exchanged for A-I Shares without any further action by such Shareholders. Following the Initial Offer Period, Founder Intermediaries were determined based on whether the net proceeds received by the Company on an aggregate basis across all share types and Series by the end of the Initial Offer Period were over $100 million, unless such minimum Founder Shares holding requirement is waived by the Company or the Dealer Manager in their sole discretion. A holder of Founder Shares as of the end of the Initial Offer Period that is a client of a non-Founder Intermediary will keep those Shares at their lifetime preferential fee rates but such client may not acquire additional Founder Shares except in connection with the DRIP. The minimum Founder Shares holding requirement does not apply to purchases made by holders of Founder Shares under the DRIP.

(d) Anchor Shares were offered during the Initial Offer Period to clients of certain financial intermediaries that have been designated as Anchor Intermediaries. Anchor I Intermediaries were determined based on whether the net proceeds on an aggregate basis across

all share types and Series received by the Company from such intermediary’s clients at any point before the end of the Initial Offer Period totaled more than $250 million, unless such minimum A-I Shares holding requirement was waived by the Company or the Dealer Manager in their sole discretion. Anchor II Intermediaries are certain intermediaries designated at the sole discretion of the Company or the Dealer Manager. The Anchor Shares will only be offered (a) in connection with the DRIP and (b) (x) for A-I Shares, to clients of Anchor I Intermediaries, and (y) for A-II Shares, to clients of Anchor II Intermediaries.

(e) Initially, there shall be two Types of Apollo Shares in each Series: (i) Series I E Shares and Series II E Shares, respectively, and (ii) Series I V Shares and Series II V Shares, respectively. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including Article XVII, Types of Apollo Shares shall be subject to such sales loads, servicing fees, distribution fees, dealer manager fees, commissions, other fees, and minimum investment requirements described below, as may be determined by the Board of Directors from time to time in its sole discretion and set forth in the PPM.

Section 7.4 Establishment of New Types; Authorized Shares

(a) In addition to the S Shares, I Shares, I (Acc) Shares, T-S Shares, T-I Shares, P-S Shares, P-I Shares, F-S Shares, F-I Shares, F-I (Acc) Shares, BD Shares, A-I Shares, A-II Shares, E Shares and V Shares, the Board of Directors may, without the consent of any other Person, cause each Series to (i) create additional Types of Investor Shares having such terms, rights, designations, preferences, powers and duties (which rights or powers may be senior to existing Types of Shares), as the Board of Directors shall determine, including, without limitation: (A) the right of any such Type of Shares to share in Series distributions; (B) the allocation to any such Type of Shares of items of Series income, gains, losses, deductions and credits; (C) the rights of any such Type of Shares upon dissolution of the Company or the applicable Series; and (D) the right of any such Type of Shares to vote on matters relating to the Company, the Series and this Agreement and, (ii) issue Investor Shares of any Type, for such consideration, if any, as the Board of Directors may deem appropriate. The Shareholders understand and agree that rights afforded to any additional Type of Shares (including, without limitation, rights to Company and Series distributions) may be senior to and result in a reduction and/or dilution in the rights of then outstanding Shares. In connection with the creation of any additional Type of Shares, the Board of Directors shall, without the consent of any other Person, approve a Type designation (a “Type Designation”) setting forth the terms of such Type of Investor Shares. Any such Type Designation shall be attached as an annex to this Agreement and shall constitute part of the “limited liability company agreement” of the Company within the meaning of the Act.

(b) The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Shares of any Type; provided, however, that any issuance of V Shares to any Person other than an existing V Shareholder, the V Members, Apollo, its Affiliates and/or Apollo Clients shall require the consent of V Shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding V Shares. Except as otherwise provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the Board of Directors may cause the Company to issue any number of Shares of any Type of any Series without the consent of any Person. Subject to the terms of any Type Designation, the Shareholders holding each Type of Investor Shares will have the same voting rights.

(c) As set forth in the Operating Agreement, the Management Fee and the Performance Fee may be paid, at the Operating Manager’s election in cash or E Shares. To the extent that the Operating Manager elects to receive any portion of the Management Fee or the Performance Fee in E Shares, the Company may repurchase such E Shares from the Operating Manager pursuant to the Repurchase Plan.

Section 7.5 Capital Contribution by the V Shareholder. As of the date hereof, Apollo Principal Holdings has made a Capital Contribution to Series I of $1,000 in exchange for the issuance to such V Shareholder of 40 Series I V Shares. As of the date hereof, Apollo Principal Holdings has made a Capital Contribution to Series II of $1,000 in exchange for the Company’s issuance to such V Shareholder of 40 Series II V Shares. Subject to applicable law and except as may otherwise be agreed by the applicable Series and such V Shareholder, such V Shareholder shall have no obligation to make any further capital contributions to the Company or the Series.

Section 7.6 Additional Capital Contributions. Subject to applicable law and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Type Designation or as agreed by the Company, the applicable Series and such Shareholder or Member, no Shareholder or Member shall be required to make any Capital Contribution in addition to the purchase price paid for such Shareholder’s or Member’s Shares.

Section 7.7 Offering of Shares. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Board of Directors shall have sole and complete discretion in determining the terms and conditions of the offer and sale of Shares and are hereby authorized and directed to do all things which the Board of Directors deems to be necessary, convenient, appropriate and advisable in connection therewith, including and the execution or performance of agreements with selling agents and others concerning the marketing of the Shares, all on such basis and upon such terms as the Board of Directors shall determine.

Section 7.8 Admission of Members; Subscriptions for Shares.

(a) No Person may be admitted as a Member, either of the Company generally or associated with a particular Series, without the prior written consent of the Sole Member, the V Members and a majority of the holders of V Shares.

(b) Subscriptions for Shares will be accepted or rejected by the Company, the Officers or the Board of Directors and, if rejected, all funds shall be returned to such subscribers. The Company, the Officers or the Board of Directors may refuse to accept subscriptions for Shares and contributions tendered therewith for any reason whatsoever.

Section 7.9 Repurchase of Shares.

(a) The Board of Directors may without the consent of any Person, amend, modify, revise or restate the Repurchase Plan from time to time and any such amendment, modification, revision or restatement of the Repurchase Plan shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement.

(b) V Shares are not subject to the Repurchase Plan, including any repurchase limitations set forth therein.

Section 8.2 Establishment and Determination of Capital Accounts. A capital account (“Capital Account”) shall be established for each Series II Shareholder. The Capital Account of each Series II Shareholder shall consist of his, her or its initial Capital Contribution and shall be (i) increased by (a) any additional Capital Contributions made by such Series II Shareholder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any Type Designation, (b) the amount of any Company or Series liabilities that are assumed by such Series II Shareholder, and (c) such Series II Shareholder’s share of Series II Profits allocated to such Shareholder pursuant to Section 9.2, (ii) decreased by (a) such Series II Shareholder’s share of Series II Losses allocated to such Series II Shareholder pursuant to Section 9.2 and (b) any distributions to such Series II Shareholder (net of liabilities assumed by such Series II Shareholder and liabilities to which such property is subject) distributed to such Series II Shareholder and (iii) adjusted as otherwise required by the Code and the regulations thereunder, including the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Any references in this Agreement to the Capital Account of a Series II Shareholder shall be deemed to refer to such Capital Account as the same may be increased or decreased from time to time as set forth above.

Section 8.3 Computation of Amounts. For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or expense to be reflected in Capital Accounts, the determination, recognition and classification of each such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for U.S. federal income tax purposes; provided that:

(i) any income that is exempt from U.S. federal income tax shall be added to such taxable income or losses;

(ii) any expenditures of Series II (or of the Company allocated to Series II) described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code or treated as Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), shall be subtracted from such taxable income or losses;

(iii) if the Book Value of any Series II property is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) (in connection with a distribution of such property) or (f) (in connection with a revaluation of Capital Accounts), then the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such property;

(iv) if property that is reflected on the books of Series II has a Book Value that differs from the adjusted tax basis of such property, then depreciation, amortization and

gain or loss with respect to such property shall be determined by reference to such Book Value; and

(v) the computation of all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense shall be made without regard to any election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code that may be made by Series II, unless the adjustment to basis of Series II property pursuant to such election is reflected in Capital Accounts pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m).

Section 8.4 Negative Capital Accounts. No Series II Shareholder shall be required to pay to the Company, a Series or any other Shareholder any deficit or negative balance which may exist from time to time in such Series II Shareholder’s Capital Account.

Any such increase or decrease in Book Value of an asset made pursuant to Section 8.5(a) or (b) shall, as a matter of administrative convenience, occur on a quarterly basis to take into consideration the contributions by and distributions to Series II Shareholders over the course of a given quarter. Furthermore, any such increase or decrease in Book Value of an asset shall be allocated as a Series II Profit or Series II Loss to the Capital Accounts of the Series II Shareholders under Section 9.2 (determined immediately prior to the issuance of the new Shares in Series II or the distribution of assets in an ownership reduction transaction).

Section 8.6 Compliance With Section 1.704-1(b). The provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Section 1.704-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. If the Board of Directors determines that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto (including debits or credits relating to liabilities which are secured by contributed or distributed property or which are assumed by Series II or any Series II Shareholder), are computed in order to comply with such regulation, the Board of Directors may make such modification; provided that it is not likely to have a material effect on the amount distributable to any Shareholder pursuant to Section 9.1 on the dissolution of the Company or the applicable Series. The Board of Directors also shall (a) make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the Capital Accounts of the Series II Shareholders and the amount of Series II capital reflected on the Company’s or Series, as applicable, balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), and (b) make any appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b).

Section 8.7 Transfer of Capital Accounts. The original Capital Account established for each transferee Series II Shareholder shall be in the same amount as the Capital Account of the

Series II Shareholder (or portion thereof) to which such transferee Shareholder succeeds at the time of such transfer. The Capital Account of any Series II Shareholder whose interest in Series II shall be increased or decreased by means of the transfer of Shares shall have a corresponding adjustment to such Series II Shareholder’s Capital Account. Any reference in this Agreement to a Capital Contribution of or distribution to a Series II Shareholder that has succeeded to Shares in Series II of any other Series II Shareholder shall include any Capital Contributions or distributions previously made by or to the former Series II Shareholder on account of such Shares in Series II.

ARTICLE IX

(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 18-607 and 18-804 of the Act, the Board of Directors shall have sole discretion regarding the amounts and timing of distributions to Shareholders, in each case subject to the retention of, or payment to third parties of, such funds or reserves as the Board of Directors deems necessary with respect to anticipated business needs of the Company and the Series which shall include (but not by way of limitation) the payment or the making of provision for the payment when due of Company and Series obligations, including the payment of any management or administrative fees and expenses or any other obligations.

(b) Company and Series distributions may exceed Company earnings and adjusted cash flow from operating activities and may be paid from borrowings, offering proceeds and other sources.

(c) Subject to the rights of any holders of Shares specified in any Type Designation and the terms of any Type of Shares specified herein or in any Type Designation, distributions of cash shall be paid to the holders of record of such Shares as of the applicable record date established by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 11.6 pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests on such record date.

(d) Cash distributions to holders of Shares pursuant to Section 9.1(c) are subject to the terms of the DRIP and such cash distributions will automatically be reinvested under the DRIP in additional whole and fractional Shares unless such holders have elected in their Subscription Agreement or otherwise provided notice to the Company using the appropriate documentation and the applicable Series of such election to receive distributions in cash. Shareholders may terminate their participation in the DRIP with prior written notice to the Company and the applicable Series. Under the DRIP, distributions in respect of Shares are reinvested in Shares of the same Type for a purchase price equal to the most recently available NAV per Share.

(e) The Board of Directors may, without the consent of any Person, amend, modify, revise or restate the DRIP from time to time.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no distribution shall be made to a Shareholder if and to the extent that such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable law.

Section 9.2 Allocation of Series II Profit and Series II Loss.

(a) All special allocations pursuant to Section 9.3 with respect to such fiscal year, all Series II Profits and Series II Losses (including special allocations of distribution fees and other than Series II Profits and Series II Losses specially allocated pursuant to Section 9.3) shall be allocated to the Series II Shareholders’ Capital Accounts in a manner such that, as of the end of such fiscal year, the Capital Account of each Series II Shareholder (which may be either a positive or negative balance) shall be equal to the amount which would be distributed to such Series II Shareholder if Series II were to liquidate all of its assets for the Book Value thereof and distributed the proceeds thereof pursuant to the order of priorities set forth herein, minus such Series II Shareholder’s share of Series II Minimum Gain and Shareholder Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical liquidation of assets of Series II.

(b) All Series II Profits and Series II Losses allocable to any Series II Shareholder shall be allocated on a monthly basis based upon the results of Series II’s operations during such month, without regard to whether cash distributions were made to the Series II Shareholder during such calendar month; however, such allocation shall be made in accordance with a method permissible under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(c) The Company, and each Series, shall separately track and reflect on its books and records Operating Expenses allocable to a single Type (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Management Fees), as determined by the Operating Manager in good faith, and allocate such Operating Expenses to such Type.

Section 9.3 Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.2:

(a) Series II Shareholder Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Series II Shareholders, pro rata in proportion to the value of their respective interests in Series II, as determined by the Board of Directors. If there is a net decrease in Series II Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Series II Shareholder shall be specially allocated items of taxable income or gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to such Series II Shareholder’s share of the net decrease in Series II Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g) (subject to the exceptions thereunder). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(6). This paragraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Series II Shareholder Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Series II Shareholder Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Series II Shareholder that has a share of such Series II Shareholder Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be specially allocated items of taxable income or gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to that Series II Shareholder’s share of the net decrease in Series II Shareholder Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (subject to the exceptions thereunder). Items to be allocated pursuant to this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation

Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This paragraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) If any Series II Shareholder unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of taxable income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Series II Shareholder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the adjusted capital account deficit (determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)) created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. This paragraph is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirements in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) No allocation of Series II Loss shall be made pursuant to Section 9.2 to the extent that it causes or increases a deficit balance in any Series II Shareholder’s Adjusted Capital Account. To the extent any allocation of Series II Loss would cause the Adjusted Capital Account balance of any of the Series II Shareholders to have a deficit balance, such Series II Loss shall be allocated to the Series II Shareholders with positive balances in their Adjusted Capital Accounts in proportion with such relative positive Adjusted Capital Account balances.

(e) The allocations set forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 9.3 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Series II Profits and Series II Losses among Series II Shareholders so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Series II Profits and Series II Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations (including Regulatory Allocations that, although not yet made, are expected to be made in the future) to each Series II Shareholder shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Series II Shareholder if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

Section 9.4 Amounts Withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to Section 9.8 from any distribution to a Shareholder shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Shareholder pursuant to Section 9.1 for all purposes under this Agreement.

Section 9.5 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c).

(i) The income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses of Series II shall be allocated, for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Series II Shareholders in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses among the Series II Shareholders for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, Series II’s subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses shall be allocated among the Series II Shareholders so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocations set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Manager in its sole discretion shall make such allocations for tax purposes as may be needed to ensure that allocations are in accordance

with the interests of the Shareholders and the Members and in a manner intended to give economic effect to the provisions of this Agreement, within the meaning of the Code and Treasury Regulations. The Operating Manager shall determine all matters concerning allocations for U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax purposes not expressly provided for herein in its sole discretion. In the event a Shareholder’s Shares are redeemed pursuant to Section 7.9, the Operating Manager may specially allocate additional items of ordinary income or loss or capital gain (including short-term capital gain) or loss to a such Shareholder insofar as is possible to reduce the difference, if any, between the aggregate amounts allocated to such Shareholder’s Capital Account and the aggregate amount of tax items allocated to such Shareholder. For purposes of the foregoing, the Operating Manager may determine that an equitable method of allocation includes, without limitation, an allocation (i) pro rata based on the relative differences between amounts allocated to the Capital Accounts and the aggregate amounts of tax items allocated to the relevant Shareholders or Members, or (ii) solely to the relevant Shareholders or Members with the greatest such differences (taking into account such allocations).

(ii) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect to any property contributed to the capital of Series II shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Series II Shareholders so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to Series II for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the time of contribution using any reasonable method provided for in the Treasury Regulations as selected by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.

(iii) If the Book Value of any Series II asset is adjusted pursuant to Section 8.5, subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c). Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Board of Directors in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intent of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 9.5 are solely for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Series II Shareholder’s Capital Account or share of Series II Profits, Series II Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

Section 9.6 Tax Elections. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Board of Directors or the Operating Manager shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether to make any available election pursuant to the Code. The Board of Directors shall have the right to seek to revoke any such election, including any election related to the matters described in Section 3.2 upon the Board of Directors’ determination in its sole discretion that such revocation is in the best interests of the Shareholders.

Section 9.7 Tax Matters.

(a) The Board of Directors may designate a “partnership representative” (the “Partnership Representative”) as defined in Section 6223 of the Code with respect to operations conducted by Series II pursuant to this Agreement. The Partnership Representative, subject to prior approval by the Board of Directors, is authorized and required to represent Series II (at the

expense of Series II) in connection with all examinations of the affairs of Series II by any U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities, including any resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend funds of Series II for professional services and costs associated therewith and may act as or appoint an individual to act as a “designated individual” on behalf, and subject to the direction and control, of the Partnership Representative in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 301.6223-1. The Partnership Representative, subject to prior approval by the Board of Directors, shall be authorized to take any actions necessary under the Code (or any similar state, local or non-U.S. law) that it deems appropriate in its sole discretion, including making an election under Section 6226(a) of the Code with respect to any imputed underpayment. This Section 9.7 shall survive the dissolution, winding-up and termination of the Company or Series II, and each Member’s or Shareholder’s obligations pursuant to this Section 9.7 shall survive such Member’s ceasing to be a Member of Series II or such Shareholder’s ceasing to be a Shareholder associated with Series II.

(b) The Board of Directors shall use its best efforts to ensure that Series II satisfies the gross income requirements of Section 7704(c)(2) of the Code for each Taxable Year of the Company.

Section 9.8 Withholding. Each Shareholder hereby indemnifies the Company and Series II for and authorizes the Company and each Series to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Shareholder any amount of U.S. federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the Board of Directors determines, in its sole discretion, that the Company or the Series is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable to such Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement, including any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Company or the Series pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, 1446, 1471, 1472 or 6226 of the Code. This Section 9.8 shall survive the dissolution, winding-up and termination of the Company and each Series, and each Shareholder’s obligations pursuant to this Section 9.8 shall survive such Shareholder’s ceasing to be a holder of Shares.

ARTICLE X
RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP OF SHARES

Section 10.1 Resignation of a Member. A Member shall not resign as a member of the Company or as a member of the Company associated with a Series other than in connection with the assignment of all of its Shares (or its Shares in such Series, as applicable) and the admission of a Substitute Member in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the bankruptcy (as defined in the Act) of a Member shall not cause such Member to cease to be a member of the Company or to be a member of the Company associated with a Series, and upon the occurrence of such an event, the Company and each Series shall continue without dissolution. Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the last remaining member of the Company to cease to be a member of the Company or that causes the Sole Member to cease to be a member of the Company (other than upon continuation of the Company without dissolution upon an assignment by the Sole Member of all of its limited liability company interest in the Company and each Series and the admission of the transferee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of such member is hereby authorized to, and shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such member in the Company, agree in writing (i) to continue the

Company and each Series and (ii) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of the Company generally and associated with each Series, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such member of the Company in the Company.

Section 10.2 Cessation of a Shareholder. A Shareholder only shall cease to be a Shareholder by having such Shareholder’s Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Plan or by assigning all of such Shareholder’s Shares in accordance with this Article X and otherwise may not resign as a Shareholder. The cessation of a Shareholder as a Shareholder shall not dissolve or terminate the Company or any Series. In the event that a Shareholder experiences death, legal incompetence or other termination, the estate, legal representative or successor of such Shareholder shall be deemed to be the Assignee of the Shares of such Shareholder. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no V Share may be redeemed, repurchased, Assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the V Shareholder that is the holder thereof; and any purported redemption, repurchase, Assignment or other transfer without such prior consent shall be null and void to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Section 10.3 Assignment.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 10.3(b) and (c), 10.5 and 10.6 of this Agreement, any Shareholder may Assign all or any portion of the Shares owned by such Shareholder to any Person (the “Assignee”); provided that:

(i) such Shareholder and such Assignee shall each execute a written Assignment instrument, which shall:

(A) set forth the terms of such Assignment;

(B) evidence the acceptance by the Assignee to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the applicable Series Agreement and any applicable Type Designation;

(C) include a representation by both such Shareholder and such Assignee that such Assignment was made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations (including such minimum investment and investor suitability requirements as may then be applicable under state securities laws); and

(D) otherwise be satisfactory in form and substance to the Board of Directors.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Board of Directors shall specifically consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, no Shares may be Assigned:

(i) to a minor or incompetent (unless a guardian, custodian or conservator has been appointed to handle the affairs of such Person);

(ii) to any Person if, in the opinion of counsel, such Assignment would result in the termination of the Company or a Series for U.S. federal income tax purposes; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may permit such Assignment to become effective if and when, in the opinion of counsel, such Assignment would no longer result in the termination of the Company or the Series, as applicable, for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

(iii) to any Person if such Assignment would affect the Company’s existence or qualification as a limited liability company under the Act or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Company is then conducting business;

(iv) to any Person not permitted to be an Assignee under applicable law, including applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws;

(v) if such Assignment would result in the transfer of less than 1 Share (unless such Assignment is of all of the Shares owned by such Shareholder);

(vi) if such Assignment would result in the retention by such Shareholder of less than 1 Share; or

(vii) if, in the reasonable belief of the Board of Directors, such Assignment might violate applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Shares may be Assigned if, in the determination of the Board of Directors, such Assignment would not be in the best interests of the Company or a Series. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any attempt to make any Assignment of Shares in violation of this Section 10.3(b) shall be null and void ab initio.

(c) Assignments made in accordance with this Section 10.3 shall be considered consummated upon satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions of this Section 10.3.

Section 10.4 Substitution.

(a) Only an Assignee to which a Member has assigned its Shares may be admitted to the Company as a member of the Company generally or associated with a particular Series, as a Substitute Member. Such an Assignee may be admitted to the Company generally or associated with a particular Series as a Substitute Member upon the applicable Assignment being considered consummated pursuant to Section 10.3(c) and the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) the Board of Directors has reasonably determined that all conditions specified in Section 10.3 have been satisfied and that no adverse effect to the Company or a Series does or may result from such admission; and

(ii) such Assignee shall have executed a transfer agreement and such other forms as the Board of Directors reasonably may require to determine compliance with this Article X, and shall be deemed to have authorized and appointed with full power of substitution as its, his or her true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in its, his or her name, place and ▇▇▇▇▇, the Operating Manager, the Company, the applicable Series and each

of their authorized officers and attorneys-in-fact, as the case may be, to take such actions as set forth in Section 3.3.

(b) An Assignee who does not become a Substitute Member in accordance with this Section 10.4 and who desires to make a further Assignment of its, his or her Shares shall be subject to all the provisions of Article X to the same extent and in the same manner as a Member desiring to make an Assignment of Shares. Failure or refusal of the Board of Directors to admit an Assignee as a Substitute Member shall in no way affect the right of such Assignee to receive distributions and the share of the Series II Profits or Series II Losses for tax purposes to which its, his or her predecessor in interest would have been entitled in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 10.5 Status of an Assigning Shareholder or V Member. Any Shareholder or V Member that shall Assign all of its, his or her Shares shall be deemed to have resigned from the Company and the applicable Series as a Shareholder or V Member, cease to be a Shareholder or V Member and shall no longer have any of the rights or privileges of a Shareholder or V Member.

Section 10.6 Further Restrictions on Transfers. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, the following restrictions shall also apply to any and all proposed sales, assignments and transfer of Shares, and any proposed sale, assignment or transfer in violation of same shall be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, void ab initio, unless otherwise waived by the Board of Directors.

(a) No Shareholder shall make any transfer or assignment of all or any part of its, his or her Shares if said transfer or assignment, when considered with all other transfers during the same applicable 12 month period, would, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, result in the termination of Series II’s status as a partnership, or cause Series II to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” taxable as a corporation, for U.S. federal or state income tax purposes.

(b) No Shareholder shall make any transfer or assignment of all or any of its, his or her Shares unless the transferee would have been qualified to purchase Shares in the offering of Shares and no transferee may acquire or hold less than the minimum initial purchase amount of $2,500, which amount can be modified or waived in the sole discretion of the Company or the Dealer Manager, unless such transfer is made on behalf of a retirement plan, or such transfer is made by gift, inheritance, intra-family transfer, family dissolution, or to affiliates.

(c) Each Shareholder that is a legal entity (other than a Benefit Plan Investor) acknowledges that its management shall have a fiduciary responsibility for the safekeeping and use of all funds and assets of any assignee to all or a portion of its interest as a Shareholder, and that the management of each Shareholder that is a legal entity (other than a Benefit Plan Investor) shall not employ, or permit another to employ such funds or assets that are attributable to any assignee of all or a portion of such Shareholder’s interest as a Shareholder in any manner except for the exclusive benefit of the assignee. Each Shareholder, other than a Benefit Plan Investor, agrees that it will not contract away the foregoing fiduciary duty.

(d) No Shareholder shall make any transfer or assignment of all or any part of its, his or her Shares if said transfer or assignment would create a potential REIT qualification

problem under the ownership requirements in Section 856(a)(5) or 856(a)(6) of the Code or any other requirements of Sections 856 through 857 of the Code for any REIT Subsidiary.

Section 10.7 Elimination or Modification of Restrictions. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Article X, the Board of Directors may amend this Agreement without the consent of any Person to eliminate or modify any restriction on substitution of Members or Shareholders or the assignment of Shares at such time as the restriction is no longer necessary or advisable.

Section 10.8 Records. The Board of Directors shall cause the Membership List and the Shareholder List to be updated to reflect changes in the Members and Shareholders accomplished in accordance with this Agreement, which updates shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement or any Series Agreement.

Section 10.9 Authorization to Redeem Apollo Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement but subject to the Act, the Company and each Series are hereby authorized to redeem all or any portion of the Apollo Shares upon such terms and conditions as the Company and the applicable holder of Apollo Shares may agree from time to time without the consent of any other Person. A Shareholder or V Member that shall have all of such Shareholder’s or V Member’s Shares redeemed by the Company, a Series or any combination of the Company and the Series, shall cease to be a Shareholder or V Member and shall no longer have any of the rights or privileges of a Shareholder or V Member hereunder, at law or in equity.

Section 10.10 Mandatory Repurchases.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement but subject to the Act, the Board of Directors may cause the Company or a Series to repurchase from time to time all or any portion of the Shares of a Shareholder without the consent or action by such Shareholder or any other Person, on 10 days’ prior written notice, if the Board of Directors determines that:

(i) the Shares have been transferred in violation of this Agreement, or have vested in any Person by operation of law as a result of the disability, death, divorce, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency or adjudicated incompetence of the Shareholder;

(ii) any transferee does not meet any investor eligibility requirements established by the Company or the applicable Series from time to time;

(iii) ownership of Shares by a Shareholder or other Person is likely to cause the Company or a Series to be in violation of, or require registration of the Shares under, or subject the Company or a Series to additional registration or regulation under, the securities, commodities, or other laws of the United States or any other jurisdiction in the world, including without limitation the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

(iv) continued ownership of the Shares by a Shareholder may be harmful or injurious to the business or reputation of the Company, a Series, the Operating Manager, Apollo, or any of their Affiliates, or may subject the Company, a Series or any Shareholder to an undue risk of adverse tax or other fiscal or regulatory consequences;

(v) any of the representations and warranties made by a Shareholder or other Person in connection with the acquisition of Shares was not true when made or has ceased to be true;

(vi) with respect to a Shareholder subject to special laws or regulations, the Shareholder is likely to be subject to additional regulatory or compliance requirements under these special laws or regulations by virtue of continuing to hold any Shares;

(vii) it would be in the interest of the Company or a Series for the Company or such Series, as applicable, to repurchase the Shares; or

(viii) continued ownership of any Shares by a Shareholder may cause all or any portion of the assets of the Company or a Series to be characterized as assets of a Plan for purposes of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable similar law.

(b) Shares repurchased pursuant to Section 10.10(a) will be repurchased at a price equal to the transaction price of the Type of Shares being repurchased on the date of such repurchase, which will be equal to the Company’s or the applicable Series’ most recently published NAV per Share for the applicable Type of Shares unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. Shareholders whose Shares are repurchased by the Company or a Series will not be entitled to a return of any amount of sales load that was charged in connection with such Shareholder’s purchase of such Shares. If the Company or a Series requires the mandatory repurchase of any Shares of any Shareholder, such repurchase will not be subject to the repurchase limits under the Repurchase Plan, including any repurchase limitations set forth therein, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. A Shareholder that shall have all of such Shareholder’s Shares repurchased by the Company or a Series shall cease to be a Shareholder of the Company or such Series, as applicable, and shall no longer have any of the rights or privileges of a Shareholder hereunder, at law or in equity.

(c) From time to time, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and without the consent of any other Person, assign the Company’s right to repurchase Shares pursuant to this Section 10.10 to Apollo or its Affiliates.

Section 10.11 Tender Offers. If any Person other than a Series or the Company makes a tender offer, including a “mini-tender” offer, such Person must comply with all of the provisions set forth in Regulation 14D of the Exchange Act, including disclosure and notice requirements, that would be applicable if the tender offer was for more than 5% of the outstanding Shares; provided, however, that such documents are not required to be filed with the SEC. In addition, any such Person must provide notice to the Company and the applicable Series at least 10 Business Days prior to initiating any such tender offer. Any Person who initiates a tender offer without complying with the provisions set forth above (a “Non-Compliant Tender Offer”), shall be responsible for all expenses incurred by the Company and the applicable Series in connection with the enforcement of the provisions of this Section 10.11, including expenses incurred in connection with the review of all documents related to such tender offer. In addition, the Company and/or the Series may seek injunctive relief, including a temporary or permanent restraining order, in connection with any Non-Compliant Tender Offer. This Section 10.11 shall be of no force or effect with respect to any Shares that are then listed on a national securities exchange.

Business to be conducted at such a special meeting may only be brought before the meeting pursuant to the notice of meeting.

(ii) Special meetings of Shareholders may be held at such place, if any, either within or without the State of Delaware, on such date and at such time, and for such purpose or purposes, as the Board of Directors shall determine and state in the notice of meeting.

Such further notice shall be given as may be required by law.

Section 11.3 Adjournment. Any meeting of Members or Shareholders may be adjourned from time to time by the chairperson of the meeting to another place, if any, or time, without regard to the presence of a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of Members or Shareholders may be adjourned from time to time by the chairperson of the meeting, but no other business may be transacted, except as provided in Section 11.4 of this Agreement. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting and a new record date need not be fixed, if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Company or the applicable Series may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 11.4 Quorum.

The submission of matters to Members or Shareholders, as applicable, for approval at a meeting shall occur only at a meeting of the Members

or Shareholders, as applicable, duly called and held in accordance with this Agreement at which a quorum is present; provided, however, that the Members or Shareholders, as applicable, present and entitled to vote at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Members or Shareholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by the required percentage of voting power of the Shareholders specified in this Agreement.

Section 11.5 Required Vote.

(a) V Member Action. When a quorum is present at any meeting, all matters properly submitted to V Members for approval shall be determined by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the V Members and such determination shall be deemed to constitute the act of all the V Members.

(b) Shareholder Action. Matters, including the election of Directors, are not generally to be submitted to a Shareholder vote. In certain instances, the Board of Directors may call a Shareholder vote in order to, among other matters, cleanse a conflict. When a quorum is present at any meeting, all matters properly submitted to Shareholders for approval shall be determined by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Shareholders present in person or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote thereon (unless a greater percentage is required with respect to such matter under the rules of any National Securities Exchange on which the Shares are listed for trading, or a greater or lesser percentage is required under the provisions of this Agreement, in which case the approval of Shareholders holding outstanding Shares that in the aggregate represent at least such percentage of voting power shall be required) and such determination shall be deemed to constitute the act of all the Shareholders.

Section 11.6 Record Date. For purposes of determining the Members or Shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Members or Shareholders, as applicable, the Board of Directors may set a record date, which shall not be less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting (unless such requirement conflicts with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which the Shares are listed for trading, in which case the rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of such exchange shall govern).

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS; VALUATION

Section 14.1 Review of Policies. The Board of Directors may review the investment and borrowing policies and valuation guidelines of the Company and each Series from time to time to determine that the policies being followed by the Company and each Series at any time are in the best interests of its Members and Shareholders. Each such determination and the basis therefor shall be set forth in the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors.

Section 14.2 Valuation.

(a) The Company and each Series shall determine the NAV of the Shares no less frequently than monthly. An independent valuation services firm selected by the Operating Manager or the Board of Directors (“Independent Valuation Advisor”) will review valuations with respect to the Company’s and each Series’ assets in accordance with valuation guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. The Independent Valuation Advisor will assist the Operating Manager in determining the estimated values of the Company’s and each Series’ asset-backed finance assets and the Administrative Agent will use the estimated values provided as well as inputs from other sources in its monthly calculation of NAV per Share. The NAV per Share of the Shares shall be determined by dividing the total assets of the applicable Series (the value of investments, plus cash or other assets, including interest and distributions accrued but not yet received) less the value of any liabilities of such Series (including accrued expenses or distributions), by the total number of Shares (other than V Shares) outstanding in such Series.

(b) The value of the Company’s and each Series’ Asset-Backed Finance Assets will be monitored for material changes on a continuous basis for purposes of updating the Company’s and each Series’ monthly NAV per Share and, absent any material changes requiring more frequent updates, will be updated each month as described in this Section 14.2.

(c) Each month, the Operating Manager and the Independent Valuation Advisor will also determine an accrual schedule for the monthly value of each of the Company’s and each Series’ Asset-Backed Finance Assets based on an estimated month-end value. The Company and each Series will use the monthly values determined in such accrual schedule for purposes of calculating NAV per Share.

(d) The Board of Directors is responsible for the valuation process and hereby delegates the supervision of the daily valuation process to the Operating Manager. The Board of Directors has adopted policies and procedures for determining the fair value of the Company’s and the Series’ assets, and hereby delegates responsibility for applying the valuation policies to the Operating Manager. The Operating Manager, pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board of Directors, is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s and the Series’ valuation policies and coordinating with the Independent Valuation Advisor, overseeing the calculation of the NAV per Share for each Type of Shares and reporting to the Board of Directors. The Operating Manager shall provide the Board of Directors with periodic reports on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if necessary, describing the valuation process applicable to that period.

(e) The Company’s and the Series’ assets will be valued at fair value in a manner consistent with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, including Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC Topic 820”), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

(f) The Independent Valuation Advisor has provided, and is expected to continue to provide asset valuation advisory services to other funds managed by the Operating Manager and its Affiliates, and has received, and is expected to continue to receive, fees in connection with such services. The Independent Valuation Advisor and its affiliates may from time to time in the future perform other commercial and financial advisory services for other funds managed by the Operating Manager and its Affiliates, so long as such other services do not adversely affect the independence of the Independent Valuation Advisor as certified in the applicable appraisal report.

(g) At least annually, the Board of Directors, including a majority of Independent Directors, shall review the appropriateness of the Company’s and the Series’ valuation guidelines. From time to time, the Board of Directors, including a majority of Independent Directors, may adopt, and may in the future adopt, changes to the valuation guidelines on occasions in which the Board of Directors has determined or in the future determines that such changes are likely to result in a more accurate reflection of estimated fair value.

ARTICLE XV

Section 15.1 Generally; Specific Authorization. Whenever a potential material conflict arises among Apollo, the Operating Manager or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company, a Series, any of the Shareholders or any of the Members, on the other hand, any resolution or course of action by the Board of Directors, the Operating Manager or Affiliates of the Operating Manager in respect of such conflict of interest shall be permitted and deemed approved by all Members and all Shareholders, and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, of any agreement contemplated herein, or of any duty otherwise existing hereunder, at law or in equity, if the resolution or course of action in respect of such conflict of interest is (i) approved by a committee of the Independent Directors (which may be the Audit Committee), (ii) on terms which are, in the aggregate, no less favorable to the Company or a Series than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties; (iii) fair and reasonable to the Company or a Series, taking into account the totality of the relationships among the parties involved, including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to the Company or a Series; or (iv) approved by the vote of Shareholders owning a majority of the outstanding Investor Shares, excluding any Investor Shares owned by Apollo or any of its Affiliates. The Board of Directors or the Operating Manager may, but is not required to, seek the approval of the resolution of such a conflict of interest from the Audit Committee, any other committee of Independent Directors or the Shareholders. Unless the resolution of a conflict is otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, the Board of Directors, the Operating Manager or a committee of the Board of Directors consisting of Independent Directors (which may be the Audit Committee) may consider any factors they determine in their sole discretion to consider

when resolving a conflict of interest. Whenever the Board of Directors or the Operating Manager makes a determination to refer or not to refer any potential conflict of interest to a committee of Independent Directors (including the Audit Committee), to seek or not to seek Shareholder approval, or to adopt or not to adopt a resolution or course of action that has not received approval of a committee of Independent Directors or approval by the Shareholders, then the Board of Directors or the Operating Manager, as applicable, shall be entitled, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to make such determination or to take or decline to take such other action free of any duty or obligation whatsoever to the Company, the Series, any Member, any Shareholder or any other Person bound by this Agreement, and the Board of Directors and the Operating Manager, as applicable, shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be required to act in good faith or pursuant to any other standard or duty imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Act or any other law, rule or regulation or in equity, and the Board of Directors or the Operating Manager, as applicable, in making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action shall be permitted to do so in its sole discretion. If the approval of a committee of Independent Directors (including the Audit Committee) is sought, then it shall be presumed that, in making its decision, the committee of Independent Directors (including the Audit Committee) acted in good faith, and if the Board of Directors or the Operating Manager, as applicable, determines that the resolution or course of action taken with respect to a conflict of interest satisfies either of the standards set forth in clauses (ii) or (iii) above or that a member of a committee of Independent Directors (including the Audit Committee) satisfies the eligibility requirements to be an Independent Director (or a member of the Audit Committee), then it shall be presumed that, in making its decision, the Board of Directors or Operating Manager, as applicable, acted in good faith. In any proceeding brought by any Member, by or on behalf of such Member or any other Member or the Company or a Series, by any Shareholder, by or on behalf of such Shareholder or any other Shareholder or the Company or a Series, or otherwise by any Person bound by this Agreement, on its behalf or on behalf of the Company or a Series, or otherwise on behalf of the Company or a Series, challenging any action by a committee of Independent Directors (including the Audit Committee) with respect to any matter referred to such committee of Independent Directors (including the Audit Committee) for approval by the Board of Directors or the Operating Manager, as applicable, any action by the Board of Directors or the Operating Manager, as applicable, in determining whether the resolution or course of action taken with respect to a conflict of interest satisfies either of the standards set forth in clauses (ii) or (iii) above or whether a member of such committee of Independent Directors (including the Audit Committee) satisfies the eligibility requirements to be an Independent Director (or a member of the Audit Committee), the Person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding shall have the burden of overcoming the presumption that the committee of Independent Directors (including the Audit Committee), the Board of Directors or the Operating Manager, as applicable, acted in good faith by clear and convincing evidence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the existence of any conflicts of interest in connection with the following transactions are hereby approved by all of the Members, all of the Shareholders and each other Person bound by this Agreement and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any such duty otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise:

(a) The designation of any Person as the Operating Manager and the Company’s and the Series’ execution, delivery and performance of the Operating Agreement, including the Company’s and the Series’ payment of the Management Fee, the Performance Fee

(r) The Operating Manager’s waiver or modification of any Management Fee or Performance Fee allocable to an interest in the Company or a Series owned by Apollo or its Affiliates.

Section 15.2 Standards of Conduct.

(a) Whenever the Operating Manager or the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof (including the Audit Committee), makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any Affiliate of the Operating Manager causes the Operating Manager to do so, in its capacity as the Operating Manager as opposed to in its individual capacity, whether under this Agreement or any other agreement, then, unless another express lesser standard is provided for in this Agreement, the Operating Manager, the Board of Directors or such committee or such Affiliates causing the Operating Manager to do so, shall make such determination or take or decline to take such other action in good faith and shall not be subject to any other or different duties or standards (including fiduciary duties or standards) imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, except in the case of actual fraud or willful misconduct, the Company or the applicable Series will indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses of any kind, including legal fees and amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromises and settlements, as fines and penalties and legal or other costs and expenses of investigating or defending against any claim or alleged claim, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, that are incurred by any Indemnified Party and arise out of or in connection with the business of the Company, the business of a Series or the performance by the Indemnified Party of any of its responsibilities under this Agreement; provided that an Indemnified Party will not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if the Indemnified Party’s action or omission constitutes actual fraud or willful misconduct; provided further that such claims, liabilities, damages, losses costs or expenses did not arise solely out of a dispute between or among the officers, directors, employees or partners of Apollo or its affiliates.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnified Party who is indemnified pursuant to Section 16.3(a) in appearing at, participating in or defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company or the applicable Series prior to a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 16.3, the Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified upon receipt by the Company or the applicable Series of any undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately determined that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by this Section 16.3.

(c) The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 16.3 shall not be exclusive of any rights to which any Indemnified Party may otherwise be entitled or hereafter acquire under any law, statute, rule, regulation, charter document, by-law,

contract or agreement. The indemnification and advancement obligations of the Company and the Series to an Indemnified Party with respect to any indemnifiable amounts shall be reduced by any indemnification payments actually received by such Indemnified Party from any of the Corporate Group Members or any potential, current or former Portfolio Asset with respect to the same indemnifiable amounts. Solely for purposes of clarification, and without expanding the scope of indemnification pursuant to this Section 16.3, the Members and the Shareholders intend that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, as between (a) Portfolio Assets and (b) the Company and/or the Series, this Section 16.3 shall be interpreted to reflect an ordering of liability for potentially overlapping or duplicative indemnification payments, with any applicable Portfolio Asset having primary liability and the Company and the Series, as applicable, having only secondary liability. The possibility that an Indemnified Party may receive indemnification payments from a Portfolio Asset shall not restrict the Company or the Series from making payments under this Section 16.3 to an Indemnified Party that is otherwise eligible for such payments, but such payments by the Company or the Series are not intended to relieve any Portfolio Asset from any liability that it would otherwise have to make indemnification payments to such Indemnified Party and, if an Indemnified Party that has received indemnification payments from the Company or the Series actually receives duplicative indemnification payments from a Portfolio Asset for the same indemnifiable amounts, such Indemnified Party shall repay the Company or the Series, as applicable, to the extent of such duplicative payments. If, notwithstanding the intention of this Section 16.3, a Portfolio Asset’s obligation to make indemnification payments to an Indemnified Party is relieved or reduced under applicable law as a result of payments made by the Company or the Series pursuant to this Section 16.3, or if otherwise necessary to effect the intention of the parties hereto in this Section 16.3, the Company and the Series shall have, to the maximum extent permitted by law, a right of subrogation against (or contribution from) such Portfolio Asset for amounts paid by the Company or the Series to an Indemnified Party that relieved or reduced the obligation of such Portfolio Asset to such Indemnified Party. As used in this Section 16.3, “indemnification” payments or obligations and “indemnifiable” amounts made or to be made by a Portfolio Asset shall be deemed to include (i) advancement of expenses in connection with indemnification obligations, (ii) payments made or to be made by any successor to the indemnification obligations of such Portfolio Asset and (iii) equivalent payments made or to be made by or on behalf of such Portfolio Asset (or such successor) pursuant to an insurance policy or similar arrangement.

(d) The indemnification provided by this Section 16.3 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnified Party may be entitled under this Agreement, any other agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Members or vote of the Shareholders, as a matter of law, in equity or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnified Party’s capacity as an Indemnified Party and as to actions in any other capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnified Party who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnified Party.

(e) The Company and the Series may purchase and maintain (or reimburse the Operating Manager or its Affiliates for the cost of) insurance, on behalf of the Indemnified Parties and such other Persons as the Board of Directors shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such Person in connection with the Company’s or the Series’ activities or such Person’s activities on behalf of the Company or the

Series, regardless of whether the Company or the Series would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

(f) The provisions of this Section 16.3 are for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties and their heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

(g) No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 16.3 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnified Party to be indemnified by the Company or the Series, nor the obligations of the Company or the Series to indemnify any such Indemnified Party under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 16.3 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

ARTICLE XX
REIT PROVISIONS

Section 20.1 The Company and the Series generally intend to carry out the investment program by making a portion of its investments through one or more REITs (each, a “REIT Subsidiary”).

Section 20.2

(a) To the extent permitted by law, but notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the provisions of Exhibit B shall be applied to the Company and the Series in the same manner as to any REIT Subsidiary mutatis mutandis. Specifically, but without limiting the application of the provisions of Exhibit B, in the event that (i) any Share is Transferred or any direct or indirect ownership interest in any Shareholder is Transferred and (ii) as a result of such Transfer, the interests in any REIT Subsidiary that are held, directly or indirectly, by the Company and/or Series would otherwise be subject to Section 2.1.1 of Exhibit B, then provisions similar to those set forth in Exhibit B shall apply to Shares to which such purported Transfer relates. The Shareholders agree that the Shares that were the subject of the purported Transfer shall be automatically transferred to a trust for the benefit of a Charitable Beneficiary in such amount as

shall be sufficient to ensure that no equity interests of a REIT Subsidiary shall be automatically transferred to a Charitable Trust (or similar) under the applicable REIT Subsidiary Agreement. In the event of a transfer of Shares to a Charitable Trust (or similar), provisions comparable to Sections 2.1.1(b) and 2.2 of Exhibit B shall apply to the transferred Shares and such trust. The intention of this Section 20.2 is to cause each Shareholder to bear the consequences of direct and indirect Transfers that relate to such Shareholder’s Shares that otherwise would have caused equity interests of a REIT Subsidiary to be automatically transferred to a Charitable Trust (or similar) under the applicable REIT Subsidiary Agreement.

(b) In the event that (i) any Share is Transferred or any direct or indirect ownership interest in any Shareholder is Transferred and (ii) notwithstanding Section 20.2(a), above, as a result of such Transfer, the interests in any REIT Subsidiary that are held by the Company and/or Series are subject to Section 2.1.1 of Exhibit B, then (A) the Shareholder who is the transferee of the Shares or whose Shares are the subject of the Transfer of the direct or indirect ownership interest, as the case may be, shall (1) repay to the Company and/or Series the amount of any distributions received by it from the Company and/or Series that are attributable to any interests in such REIT Subsidiary that are held by the Company and/or Series, that are subject to Section 2.1.1 of Exhibit B and that were received on or after the date that such shares became subject to Section 2.1.1 of Exhibit B, and (2) have its right to receive future distributions and redemption proceeds pursuant to this Agreement reduced by an amount equal to the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received by the Charitable Trust with respect to such Shares subject to Section 2.1.1 of Exhibit B, (B) if applicable, the allocations of income, gain, loss or expense of the Company and/or Series pursuant to Article 9 shall be adjusted to the extent necessary to reflect the rights and obligations of such transferee or Shareholder as described in clause (A) of this sentence and (C) for purposes of determining such transferee’s or Shareholder’s Constructive Ownership or Beneficial Ownership of the interests in such REIT Subsidiary, any interests in the REIT Subsidiary that otherwise would be Constructively Owned or Beneficially Owned by such transferee or Shareholder (but for the transfer to the Charitable Trust) shall be reduced by such number of Shares subject to Section 2.1.1 of Exhibit B.

(c) If, following the automatic divestment and transfers provided for in this Section 20.2 and Exhibit B, any REIT Subsidiary would, but for the application of this Section 20.2(c), be “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(a)(6) of the Code at any time during the last half of any taxable year after the first year for which such REIT Subsidiary made or intends to make an election to be taxable as a REIT under Section 856(c)(1) of the Code, distributions otherwise payable to the Shareholders and net income or gain otherwise allocable, if applicable, to Shareholders pursuant to Article 9 shall be decreased to the extent necessary to ensure that any REIT Subsidiary is not “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(a)(6) of the Code at any time during the last half of any taxable year after the first year for which such REIT Subsidiary made or intends to make an election to be taxable as a REIT under Section 856(c)(1) of the Code, and such net income or gain shall instead be allocated to, or such cash distributed to, the applicable other Shareholders. Any reduction in allocations, if applicable, or distributions pursuant to this Section 20.2(c) shall be made proportionately by each of the Company and/or Series and among the Shareholders therein. Allocations or distributions, as the case may be, in subsequent taxable years shall be made to the Shareholders as necessary to cause the aggregate amount of net income and gain allocated or distributions made to each Shareholder to be equal to or more closely approximate the aggregate amount that would have been allocated or distributed to each such

Shareholder if the adjustments required by this Section 20.2(c) had not been made, but only to the extent consistent with the first sentence of this Section 20.2(c).

(d) Each Shareholder shall comply with any requirements to provide information to the Company and the Series in accordance with Section 2.1.4 of Exhibit B or the principles thereof as determined by the Operating Manager in its sole discretion.

(e) For the purposes of this Section 20.2 the terms “Beneficial Ownership” (and “Beneficially Owned”), “Charitable Beneficiary,” “Charitable Trust,” “Constructive Ownership” (and “Constructively Owned”) and “Transfer” have the meanings set forth in Exhibit B.
