A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

Each Seller and each Principal understands and acknowledges the significance and consequences of such specific waiver of Section 1542, and hereby assumes full responsibilities for any injuries, damages or losses that each may incur as a result of such waiver.

None of the Sellers, the Purchaser or any of their respective Subsidiaries, to the extent applicable, will issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement or communication with respect to the execution of this Agreement or consummation of the Contemplated Transactions without the consent of the AHI Seller and the Purchaser.

Section 6.10 Tax Matters.

(a) The Company will make an election under Section 754 of the Code for the taxable year of the Company that includes the Closing in accordance with applicable Law. The Parties intend that the purchase of the Common Units by the Purchaser be treated as a purchase of an interest in a partnership for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, which shall give rise to adjustments to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 743 of the Code.

(b) If the treatment described in Section 6.10(a) is not respected by any Governmental Authority, the Company shall, to the extent permitted under applicable Tax Law, use the “remedial” method of allocation under Treasury Regulation 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) to replicate as nearly as possible the respective positions of the Parties had the treatment in Section 6.10(a) been respected.

(c) The Company shall provide to the Purchaser with sixty (60) days after Closing, an allocation schedule that sets forth the allocation of the Purchaser’s adjustments pursuant to Section 743 of

the Code among the assets of the Company for the Purchaser’s approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Company shall incorporate reasonable comments of the Purchaser to the allocation.

(d) Each of the Parties and their respective Affiliates shall, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, (i) prepare and file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with Sections 6.10(a) and (c), and (ii) take no position in any Tax Return, proceeding, Tax contest or otherwise that is inconsistent with Section 6.10(a) or (c). In the event that any position taken in Section 6.10(a) or (c) is disputed in writing by any Governmental Authority, the party receiving notice of such dispute shall promptly notify and consult with the other party concerning the resolution of such dispute and use good faith efforts to contest such dispute in a manner consistent with Section 6.10(a) and (c).

(e) Each of the Parties intends to treat the issuance of the Performance-Based NSAM Shares (if any) as a compensatory transfer of property in exchange for services.

(f) For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are payable with respect to any Tax period that begins before and ends after the Closing (a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that constitutes Taxes for the period prior to the Closing shall: (i) in the case of Taxes that are either (x) based upon or related to income or receipts, or (y) imposed in connection with any sale, transfer or assignment or any deemed sale, transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Tax year or period ended on the Closing; and (ii) in the case of Taxes (other than those described in clause (i) above) that are imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the business or assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries or otherwise measured by the level of any item, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding Tax period) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, any exemption, deduction, credit or other item (including, without limitation, the effect of any graduated rates of Tax) that is calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing on a pro rata basis determined by multiplying the total amount of such item allocated to the Straddle Period times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. In the case of any Tax based upon or measured by capital (including net worth or long-term debt) or intangibles, any amount thereof required to be allocated under this Section 6.10(f) shall be computed by reference to the level of such items on the Closing Date. The parties hereto will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, elect with the relevant Governmental Authority to treat a portion of any Straddle Period as a short taxable period ending as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(g) The Sellers will be entitled to any Tax refunds with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing, determined in a manner consistent with Section 6.10(f) above.

(d) In the event that any of the AHI Seller or the Principals (or any of their respective permitted transferees) are unable to transfer immediately any of their shares of NSAM Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act because of a change in applicable Law, including any change to the definition of “affiliate” as that term is defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, NSAM, the AHI Seller and the Principals shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a customary registration rights agreement regarding such shares of NSAM Common Stock.

Section 6.12 Consent Fees and Transfer Taxes. As soon as reasonably practical after the Closing, but in any event within five (5) Business Days after the Closing, the Purchaser shall pay to the AHI Seller an amount in cash equal to (i) fifty percent (50%) of any and all consent fees paid or to be paid to third parties in connection with the contribution, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery of the Contributed Assets to the Company pursuant to the Contribution Agreement plus (ii) fifty percent (50%) of all sales, use, value added, transfer, stamp, registration, documentary, excise, real property transfer or gains, or similar Taxes incurred as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement

Section 6.13 Subscription and Redemption. Immediately after the consummation of the Subscription, the Company shall consummate the Redemption and distribute the Redemption Amount to the AHI Seller in immediately payable funds.

Section 6.14 Transition Services Agreement. During the period between the consummation of the XXXX II Merger and the earlier of (a) the Closing and (b) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, the parties acknowledge and agree that the terms and conditions of the Transition Services Agreement shall apply with respect to the parties thereto, but no fees shall be required to be paid thereunder during such period. If the Closing does not occur prior to the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VIII, including pursuant to the Termination Date,

then on such date the Purchaser shall pay the AHI Seller all accrued and unpaid fees and expenses under the Transition Services Agreement for the period prior to such termination.

From and after the Closing, and except with respect to claims arising from fraud and any claims for specific performance made pursuant to Section 9.12 (which shall be the exclusive remedy for any such claims), the provisions of this Article IX shall constitute the exclusive remedy in respect of breaches of representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.7 shall not limit any Seller or any Principal’s remedies under the Securities Act and the other securities Laws of the United States, any applicable state of the United States or any applicable foreign jurisdiction, each as then applicable and in effect, with respect to any Reports filed after the Closing Date if any such remedies are available to all shareholders of NSAM.

Section 9.8 Procedure for Indemnification.

(a) In the event that a Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX sustains or incurs any Losses in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Article IX (an “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly send written notice (the “Indemnification Notice”) to any party or parties obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Article IX (the “Indemnifying Party”). The Indemnification Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail in light of the circumstances then known to such Indemnified Party (i) the factual basis for such claim, (ii) the amount of Losses incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Party (if known at such time) or the amount of Losses that the Indemnified Party reasonably anticipates it will have to pay, and (iii) the specific representation, warranty or covenant on which such claim for indemnification is based; provided, however, that any delay or failure by the Indemnified Party in giving such Indemnification Notice, or any failure to provide in reasonable detail the basis for such claim or amount of Losses incurred, shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such delay or failure.

(b) If such Indemnification Notice pertains solely to a breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement (or in an officer’s certificate delivered with respect to Section 7.1(c) or Section 7.2(d)) for direct indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, then the Indemnifying Party shall have twenty (20) Business Days following receipt of the Indemnification Notice to make such investigation of the claim as the Indemnifying Party deems reasonably necessary. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree at or prior to the expiration of said twenty (20) Business Day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) on the validity and amount of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly thereafter pay to the Indemnified Party such agreed amount; provided that in the event the AHI Seller or any of the Principals are the Indemnifying Party, the AHI Seller or any such Principal, in its or his sole discretion, as applicable, shall be permitted to pay the Indemnified Party such agreed amount in cash and/or shares of NSAM Common Stock (valued at the fair market value of shares of NSAM Common Stock as of the date of payment) that are not subject to vesting or potential forfeiture pursuant to the Vesting and No-Sale Agreement. Otherwise, the parties shall have such rights as may be available to them under this Agreement (including as set forth in Section 9.9) and applicable Laws.

(c) If such Indemnification Notice pertains to a claim or demand by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnifying Party shall have twenty (20) Business Days following receipt of the Indemnification Notice to (i) make such investigation of the claim or demand as the Indemnifying Party deems reasonably necessary and (ii) notify the Indemnified Party of whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim. During such twenty (20) Business Day period, the Indemnified Party shall make such filings, including motions for continuance (and answers if a motion for continuance has not been granted), as may be necessary to preserve the parties’ positions and rights with respect to such claim or demand.

(d) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or continue control of the defense of any Third Party Claim if (i) the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that an actual conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim, (ii) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Action, (iii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against any Indemnified Party, or (iv) based on a reasonable estimate of Losses relating to such Third Party Claim, after giving effect to any applicable

limitations on indemnification in Section 9.6 and the ownership percentages of the parties in the Company (other than in cases where the Indemnified Party is the Company), the Indemnified Party would be responsible for more of the Losses than the Indemnifying Party in the event that such Third Party Claim was determined in an adverse manner to the Indemnified Party; provided that for purposes of this clause (iv), the reasonable estimate of Losses shall be an amount mutually agreed to by each of Purchaser and the AHI Seller after good faith discussions concerning the amount of such estimate of Losses taking into account all facts and circumstances related to the Third Party Claim and the potential indemnification obligation. If the Indemnifying Party (A) elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice of its desire to so defend or otherwise, (B) is not entitled to defend such Third Party Claim as a result of the Indemnified Party’s election to defend the Third Party Claim as provided in this Section 9.8(d), or (C) after assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend such Third Party Claim within five (5) Business Days after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party to the effect that Indemnifying Party has so failed, the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to assume its own defense (at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense).

(e) If the Indemnifying Party is entitled to and assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, (i) it shall not settle the Third Party Claim unless (A) the settlement does not entail any admission of liability on the part of any Indemnified Party or the requirement that any Indemnified Party take any action other than the delivery of a customary release relating to the specific matter at issue, and (B) the settlement includes an unconditional release of each Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all Losses with respect to such Third Party Claim, and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ, at its own expense, counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party (x) is not entitled to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, (y) declines to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim or (z) withdraws from the defense of the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.8 to the contrary, if the Indemnified Party proposes to settle such Third Party Claim prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo any appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof and, prior to any settlement by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will have the right to participate in the settlement or assume or reassume the defense of such claims or proceeding.

(f) An Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party.

Section 9.9 Payment and Reimbursement Obligations. In the event that an Indemnified Party incurs or suffers any Losses and the Indemnifying Party is obligated pursuant to a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, a final arbitral award against the Indemnifying Party or a definitive settlement agreement with the Indemnifying Party to pay any amount of such Losses to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX, such amount shall be due and payable within ten (10) Business Days after the Indemnifying Party receives written notice that such amount is payable pursuant to such decision or award against the Indemnifying Party or after entry into such settlement agreement; provided that in the event the AHI Seller or any of the Principals are the Indemnifying Party, the AHI Seller or any such Principal, in its or his sole discretion, as applicable, shall be permitted to pay the Indemnified Party

such amount in cash and/or shares of NSAM Common Stock (valued at the fair market value of shares of NSAM Common Stock as of the date of payment) that are not subject to vesting or potential forfeiture pursuant to the Vesting and No Sale Agreement.

Section 9.10 Effect of Knowledge or Waiver of Condition. The right to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to or any knowledge or information acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance or noncompliance with, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement (other than disclosures made in the Schedules to this Agreement).

Section 9.11 Additional Matters.

(a) For purposes of this Article IX, for the sole purpose of determining the amount of Losses (and not for determining whether any breach of any representation or warranty has occurred) that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX, the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, or any certificate delivered with respect

hereto, if applicable, shall be deemed to have been made without any qualifications as to “materiality,” “material adverse effect,” “AHI Material Adverse Effect,” “NSAM Material Adverse Effect” or any other materiality qualifications (except that (x) the representations and warranties contained in the second sentence of Section 2.11 and in Section 5.8 and (y) the definition of Material Contracts and the use of such defined term herein, shall be read without excluding such qualifications).

(b) Any amounts payable under this Article IX shall be treated by the Purchaser and the Sellers as adjustments to the Aggregate Closing Date Consideration

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Indemnifying Party shall in any event be liable to any Indemnified Party on account of any indemnity obligation set forth in Section 9.2, Section 9.3, Section 9.4 or Section 9.5 for any special, incidental, indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages other than (i) any such damages that are actually incurred and paid by an Indemnified Party pursuant to a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of a Third Party Claim or such party’s fraud or (ii) with respect to consequential, incidental and indirect damages (including lost profits), to the extent such damages are reasonably foreseeable as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date. The Purchaser, the Company and the AHI Seller, on behalf of itself and the Principals, shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or Liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses or potential Losses or resolve any such claims or Liabilities.

(d) Each of the Purchaser and the Sellers acknowledges and agrees that, other than the representations and warranties of the Purchaser, NSAM, the Sellers and the Principals specifically contained in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (i) there are no representations or warranties of the Purchaser, NSAM, the Sellers or any of the Principals either expressed or implied with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, the Company or its Assets, Liabilities and Business, or NSAM or the Immediately-Vesting NSAM Shares, the Time-Based NSAM Shares and the Performance-Based NSAM Shares, and neither the Purchaser, NSAM nor any Seller or Principal has relied on any representations or warranties other than those specifically set forth in this Agreement and, without prejudice to the foregoing, the Purchaser, each Seller and each Principal irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it might have to claim damages for breach of any representation or warranty not contained in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, and (ii) (x) the Purchaser

Indemnified Parties shall have no claim or right to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX with respect to any information, documents or materials furnished by the Sellers, the Company or any of the Principals or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors and (y) the Seller Indemnified Parties shall have no claim or right to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX with respect to any information, documents or materials furnished by the Purchaser, NSAM or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors, in each case, including any information, documents or materials made available to a party in certain “data rooms”, management presentations or any other form in expectation of the Contemplated Transactions, other than by NSAM in any Reports filed after the Closing Date. Each of the Purchaser, the Sellers and the Principals also acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, prior to the Closing it has received certain estimates, projections, forecasts and similar forward-looking statements relating to the future operating and financial performance of the other party and no representation or warranty is being made by or on behalf of any party with respect to such matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.11(d) shall not limit any Party’s remedies in the case of fraud by the any other Party or any Seller or any Principal’s remedies under the Securities Act and the other securities Laws of the United States, any applicable state of the United States or any applicable foreign jurisdiction, each as then applicable and in effect, with respect to any Reports filed after the Closing Date if any such remedies are available to all shareholders of NSAM.

(e) No party shall have any right to indemnification under this Article IX with respect to any Losses to the extent (and only to the extent) such Losses (i) result solely from any action taken by or willfully omitted to be taken by such party or (ii) are duplicative of Losses that have previously been recovered hereunder.

(f) The amount of Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies with respect to such Losses (after deducting all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with making and enforcing such insurance claims); provided, that the Indemnified Party shall be required to submit, and use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue, a claim or potential claim to the extent that any Losses are recoverable under insurance policies with respect to such Losses; provided, further, that in no event shall any Indemnified Party be required to pursue or threaten any litigation against any of its insurance carriers pursuant to this Section 9.11(f).

Section 9.12 Specific Performance. Each Party agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the other Party in accordance with the terms hereof or were otherwise breached and that accordingly, each Party agrees that the other Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions hereof and to specific performance of the terms hereof. No Party shall be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with the seeking of any injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.9 Submission to Jurisdiction. The Parties agree that jurisdiction and venue for any action arising from or relating to this Agreement or the relationship between the parties, including but not limited to matters concerning validity, construction, performance, or enforcement, shall be exclusively in a state or a federal court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware (provided, that a final judgment in any such action shall be conclusive and enforced in other jurisdictions) and further agree that service of process may be made in any matter permitted by law. The Parties stipulate and agree that they are subject to personal jurisdiction in Delaware. This paragraph is intended to fix the location of potential litigation between the parties and does not create any causes of action or waive any defenses or immunities to suit.

Section 10.15 Sale and Company Engagements; Privileged Information.

(a) Sale and Company Engagements. O’Melveny & Xxxxx LLP (“OMM”) has acted as counsel for the Sellers, the Principals and the Company (collectively, the “OMM Clients”) in connection with this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions (the “Sale Engagement”) and in that connection OMM has not acted as counsel for any other Person, including the Purchaser. Upon the Closing, only the OMM Clients shall be considered clients of OMM in the Sale Engagement. All communications between the OMM Clients and OMM in the course of, and relating to, the Sale Engagement shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the Principals and the Sellers and not the Company. Accordingly, the Purchaser shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of OMM relating

to the Sale Engagement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) the Principals, the Sellers and OMM shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to the Sale Engagement, and neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of OMM in respect of the Sale Engagement constitute property of a client of OMM, only the Principals and the Sellers shall hold such property rights, and (iii) OMM shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Company or the Purchaser by reason of any attorney-client relationship between OMM and the Company or otherwise.

(b) Post-Closing Legal Representation of the Principals and the Sellers, Including Matters Relating to the Contemplated Transactions. Without the need for any consent or waiver by the Company or the Purchaser, OMM shall be permitted to represent the Principals and the Sellers after the Closing in connection with any matter, including anything related to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the Closing, OMM shall be permitted to represent the Principals and the Sellers, any of their agents and Affiliates, or any one or more of them, in connection with any negotiation, transaction or dispute (including litigation, arbitration or other adversary proceeding) with the Purchaser, the Company or any of their agents or affiliates under or relating to this Agreement, any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and any related matter, such as claims for indemnification and disputes involving employment or noncompetition or other agreements entered into in connection with this Agreement.

(c) Continued Representation. OMM shall be permitted to withdraw from any engagement with the Company in order to be able to represent or continue to represent any Principal or the Sellers.

(d) Consent and Waiver of Conflicts of Interest. Each of the Principals, the Sellers, the Company and the Purchaser consent to each of the arrangements specified in this Section 10.15 and waives any actual or potential conflict of interest that may be involved in connection with any representation by OMM permitted in this Section 10.15.

Section 10.16 NSAM Guaranty.

(a) To induce the Sellers to enter into this Agreement, NSAM hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Sellers, the Principals and their respective permitted assigns, the due and punctual payment and performance of, and compliance with, all agreements, obligations, covenants, warranties, representations, indemnities and undertakings of the Purchaser and its permitted assigns under and contained in this Agreement as primary obligor and not merely as surety, whether heretofore, now, or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether voluntary or involuntary, however arising, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined (collectively, the “NSAM Guaranteed Obligations”), whether the Purchaser or its permitted assigns may be liable individually or jointly with others, and whether or not such NSAM Guaranteed Obligations may hereafter become otherwise unenforceable; provided, that NSAM shall have the right to claim and assert all of the Purchaser’s rights, claims and defenses hereunder, including limitations on indemnification obligations pursuant to Article IX (the “NSAM Guaranty”). If, for any reason whatsoever, the Purchaser or any of its permitted assigns shall fail or be unable to duly, punctually and fully pay or perform the NSAM Guaranteed Obligations, NSAM will forthwith pay or perform, or cause to be paid or performed, the NSAM Guaranteed Obligations. NSAM hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing objections with a court, any right to require proceeding first against the Purchaser or any such permitted assign if the Purchaser fails or is unable to duly, punctually and fully pay or perform the NSAM Guaranteed Obligations, any right to require the prior disposition of the assets of the Purchaser or any such permitted assign to meet their respective obligations,

notice (except notice to be provided to the Purchaser or its counsel in accordance with this Agreement), protest and all demands whatsoever. NSAM’s obligations hereunder, including the NSAM Guaranty, may not be revoked or terminated and shall remain in full force and effect without interruption, shall be binding on NSAM and its successors and assigns and are unconditional irrespective of any conduct of the Purchaser, the Sellers and/or the Principals which might constitute (and NSAM hereby waives) a legal or equitable discharge of a surety, co-obligor, guarantor or guaranty (other than fraud or willful misconduct by the Sellers or the Principals, or defenses to the payment or performance of the NSAM Guaranteed Obligations that are available to NSAM or the Purchaser pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement). This NSAM Guaranty shall constitute a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

(b) NSAM waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right to require the Sellers or the Principals to proceed against or exhaust remedies against the Purchaser or any other party if the Purchaser fails or is unable to duly, punctually and fully pay or perform the NSAM Guaranteed Obligations. NSAM waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any personal defense based on or arising out of any personal defense of the Purchaser other than payment or performance in full of the NSAM Guaranteed Obligations, fraud or willful misconduct by the Sellers or the Principals, or defenses to the payment of the NSAM Guaranteed Obligations that are available to NSAM or the Purchaser pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, such waiver including any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the Purchaser, the unenforceability of the NSAM Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Purchaser other than payment or performance in full of the NSAM Guaranteed Obligations, fraud or willful misconduct by the Sellers or the Principals, or defenses to the payment or performance of the NSAM Guaranteed Obligations that are available to NSAM or the Purchaser pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.17 Principals’ Guaranty.

(a) To induce the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, each Principal severally (in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentage), and not jointly, hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Purchaser and its permitted assigns, the due and punctual payment and performance of, and compliance with, all agreements, obligations, covenants, warranties, representations, indemnities and undertakings of the AHI Seller and its permitted assigns under and contained in this Agreement as primary obligor and not merely as surety, whether heretofore, now, or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether voluntary or involuntary, however arising, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined (collectively, the “Principal Guaranteed Obligations”), whether the AHI Seller or its permitted assigns may be liable individually or jointly with others, and whether or not such Principal Guaranteed Obligations may hereafter become otherwise unenforceable; provided, that any Principal shall have the right to claim and assert all of the AHI Seller’s rights, claims and defenses hereunder, including limitations on indemnification obligations pursuant to Article IX (the “Principal Guaranty”). If, for any reason whatsoever, the AHI Seller or any of its permitted assigns shall fail or be unable to duly, punctually and fully pay or perform the Principal Guaranteed Obligations, each Principal severally (in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentage), and not jointly, will forthwith pay or perform, or cause to be paid or performed, the Principal Guaranteed Obligations. Each Principal hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing objections with a court, any right to require proceeding first against the AHI Seller or any such permitted assign if the AHI Seller fails or is unable to duly, punctually and fully pay or perform the Principal Guaranteed Obligations, any right to require the prior disposition of the assets of the AHI Seller or any such permitted assign to meet their respective obligations, notice (except notice to be provided to the AHI Seller or its counsel in accordance with this Agreement), protest and all demands whatsoever. Each Principal’s obligations hereunder, including the Principal Guaranty, may not be revoked or terminated and shall remain in full force and effect without interruption, shall be binding on each Principal and their respective successors and assigns

and are unconditional irrespective of any conduct of the AHI Seller and/or the Purchaser which might constitute (and each Principal hereby waives) a legal or equitable discharge of a surety, co-obligor, guarantor or guaranty (other than fraud or willful misconduct by the Purchaser, or defenses to the payment or performance of the Principal Guaranteed Obligations that are available to the AHI Seller pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement).

3.4 Preemptive Rights.

(a) The Company hereby grants to each Class A Member the right, but not the obligation (the “Preemptive Right”) to purchase up to its Class A Pro Rata Share of any Additional Interests (including with respect to each class of Promote Units) to be issued by the

- 5 -

Company and to fund its Class A Pro Rata Share of any Member Loan (each, a “Proposed Financing”), in each case, on the terms set forth in this Section 3.4. The Company shall give each Class A Member at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such Proposed Financing (such 30-day period, the “Preemptive Rights Period”) describing in reasonable detail the aggregate amount of capital to be raised by such Proposed Financing, the contemplated date of such Proposed Financing, the purpose of such Proposed Financing, the issue price of the Additional Interests or the principal amount of the Member Loan, and the other material terms and conditions of such Proposed Financing (“Preemptive Rights Notice”).

(b) Each Class A Member shall be entitled to purchase up to its Class A Pro Rata Share of such Additional Interests or to fund its Class A Pro Rata Share of any Member Loan, as the case may be, by delivering a written subscription notice (a “Subscription Notice”) to the Company and the other Class A Members on or prior to the date that the Preemptive Rights Period expires. In the event that any Class A Member elects not to purchase its full Class A Pro Rata Share of Additional Interests or to fund its Class A Pro Rata Share of any Member Loan, then the other Class A Members that subscribed for their full Class A Pro Rata Share (the “Fully Participating Members”) may purchase or fund any or all of the remaining portion of such Additional Interests or Member Loan (the “Excess Financing”) on the same terms and conditions. The Company shall deliver written notice to such Fully Participating Members indicating the amount of Excess Financing available, and the Fully Participating Members shall have five (5) Business Days to participate in such Excess Financing by delivering a Subscription Notice to the Company prior to the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period. The Fully Participating Members shall be entitled to purchase or fund their Class A Pro Rata Share of such Excess Financing, as well as any Excess Financing not subscribed for by the other Fully Participating Members (which will also be allocated on a pro rata basis).

(c) If any Excess Financing remains unsubscribed after giving effect to the Class A Members’ subscriptions pursuant to Section 3.4(b), the Company shall have 120 days from the date of delivery by the Company of the Preemptive Rights Notice to complete such Excess Financing, upon terms no less favorable to the Company than the terms specified in the Preemptive Rights Notice. If the Company has not completed such Excess Financing within such 120 day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any Additional Interests or accept a Member Loan without first offering the Class A Members the right to acquire such Additional Interests or fund such Member Loan in accordance with this Section 3.4.

(d) If a Class A Member elects not to exercise its Preemptive Right with respect to any Additional Interests or Member Loan, such election shall not constitute a waiver of such Member’s right to participate in any subsequent Additional Issuance or Member Loan.

(e) There shall be no liability on the part of the Company, the Executive Committee or any Member if the issuance of Additional Interests or any Member Loan is not consummated for any reason. For the avoidance of doubt, the determination of whether to issue Additional Interests or accept any Member Loan shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Executive Committee, subject to approval of the NSAM Designees (to the extent required) in accordance with Section 5.3.

- 6 -

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.4, the Preemptive Rights of the Class A Members under this Section 3.4 shall not apply to (i) the issuance of Class B Incentive Units pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3.5 (ii) the issuance of Class J Incentive Units pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3.6 or (iii) any Equity Interests offered in connection with a Qualified Initial Public Offering, subject to approval of the NSAM Designees (to the extent required) in accordance with Section 5.3(w).

(g) Consideration payable in respect of Additional Interests issued pursuant to this Section 3.4 will be made in United States Dollars when due by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Company.

3.5 Class B Incentive Units.The Company is authorized to grant awards (each, a “Company Incentive Award”) that consist of an aggregate number of Class B Incentive Units representing 5% of the total outstanding Capital Proceeds Equity Interests of the Company as of the Effective Date (the “Pre-Approved Class B Issuance”) or such greater amount of Class B Incentive Units, if any, as may be determined by the Executive Committee, subject to approval of the NSAM Designees (to the extent required) in accordance with Section 5.3(h), directly or indirectly, to employees and other service providers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Principals unless approved in accordance with Section 5.3(h), to the extent such approval is required), which Class B Incentive Units will have the rights and obligations set forth herein and will be subject to the terms of the Incentive Unit Plan and the Award Agreements contemplated thereby; provided, that such Award Agreements comply with the provisions of this Agreement. During any Fiscal Year, the Executive Committee shall be permitted to distribute up to 20% of the Pre-Approved Class B Issuance to employees and other service providers of the Company or its Subsidiaries, subject to minimum vesting requirements of at least two years (the “Annual Permitted Class B Issuance”), or such greater amount of Class B Incentive Units, if any, as may be approved by the Executive Committee, subject to approval of the NSAM Designees (to the extent required) in accordance with Section 5.3(h); provided, that if all or any portion of the Annual Permitted Class B Issuance is not distributed in any Fiscal Year, such undistributed amount shall be available for distributions in subsequent Fiscal Years, and the Annual Permitted Class B Issuance shall be increased to reflect such undistributed amount; provided, further, that in no event may any employee or other service provider of the Company or its Subsidiaries receive Class B Incentive Units representing more than 2.5% of the total outstanding Capital Proceeds Equity Interests of the Company without the consent of the Executive Committee subject to the approval of the NSAM Designees (to the extent required) in accordance with Section 5.3(d). Any Company Incentive Award may be granted in consideration for services provided or to be provided by the recipient of such award and such consideration need not reflect the Fair Market Value of the additional Units that are the subject of such award. The Class B Incentive Units will carry no consent, approval, veto or other voting rights under this Agreement, and for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be deemed to be Common Units under any circumstance. Upon the issuance of additional Units in respect of a Company Incentive Award, the Executive Committee shall modify Exhibit B and the books and records of the Company to accurately reflect the capital contributions, Capital Accounts and number of Units of all Members, determined as of the time of such issuance of additional Units, and to reflect the admission of the additional Members as Members.

- 7 -

3.6 Class J Incentive Units. On the Effective Date, the Company has granted [______] Class J Incentive Units to Xxxxxxxx Member, which represent 100% of the issued and outstanding Class J Incentive Units as of the date hereof. 100% of the Class J Incentive Units shall vest on the date which is the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, that in connection with an AHI Vesting Change of Control, 100% of the Class J Incentive Units shall vest on the date of, and immediately prior to, such AHI Vesting Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an AHI Reversion Event For Cause occurs prior to the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Effective Date, and an AHI Vesting Change of Control has not occurred prior to such time, then the Class J Incentive Units shall be forfeited in their entirety.

3.7 Notice 2005-43 Safe Harbor. By executing this Agreement, each Member authorizes and directs the Company to elect to have the “Safe Harbor” described in the proposed Revenue Procedure set forth in Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-43 (the “Notice”) apply to any interest in the Company transferred to a service provider by the Company on or after the effective date of such Revenue Procedure in connection with services provided to or for the benefit of the Company. For purposes of making such Safe Harbor election, AHI Member is hereby designated as the “partner who has responsibility for U.S. federal income tax reporting” by the Company and, accordingly, execution of such Safe Harbor election by AHI Member constitutes execution of a “Safe Harbor Election” in accordance with Section 3.03(1) of the Notice. The Company and each Member hereby agree (i) to use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all requirements of the Safe Harbor described in the Notice, and (ii) that each Member shall prepare and file all U.S. federal income tax returns reporting the income tax effects of each Unit issued by the Company that is subject to the Safe Harbor in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Notice. The officers of the Company shall file, or cause the Company to file, all returns, reports and other documentation as may be required to perfect and maintain the Safe Harbor Election with respect to grants of Profits Interests covered by such Safe Harbor Election. The Executive Committee is hereby authorized and empowered, without further vote or action of the Members, to amend this Agreement solely to the extent necessary to comply with any proposed Treasury Regulations, in order to provide for a Safe Harbor Election and the ability to maintain or revoke the same, and shall have the authority to execute any such amendment by and on behalf of each Member. Any undertakings by the Members necessary to enable or preserve a Safe Harbor Election may be reflected in such amendments and to the extent so reflected shall be binding on each Member. Each Member agrees to cooperate with the Company and the Executive Committee to perfect and maintain any Safe Harbor Election, and to timely execute and deliver any documentation with respect thereto reasonably requested by the Company or the Executive Committee. It shall be a condition subsequent to the issuance of any unvested Profits Interests of any Member, that such Member makes a timely and proper election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to such unvested Profits Interests. Any issuance of any unvested Profits Interests (whether issued on or after the date hereof) for which a Member fails to make a timely and proper 83(b) election shall be void ab initio unless otherwise determined by the Executive Committee. EACH MEMBER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE MEMBER’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S OR THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE’S (OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES’ OR ADVISOR’S OR REPRESENTATIVES’) TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER

- 8 -

SECTION 83(b) OF THE CODE, EVEN IF THE MEMBER REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON SUCH MEMBER’S BEHALF.

(iii) Each Member’s Capital Account will from time to time be reduced by:

Reg. § 1.704-2(i)(4).

(iii) Qualified Income Offset. If any Member unexpectedly receives any Account Reduction Item that results in an Excess Deficit Balance at the end of any Tax Year after taking into account all other allocations and adjustments under this Agreement other than allocations under this Section 3.9(d)(iii), then items of Book income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) will be reallocated to each such Member in the amount and in the proportions needed to eliminate such Excess Deficit Balance as quickly as possible.

(iv) Gross Income Allocation. If, at the end of any Tax Year, the Capital Accounts of any Members have Excess Deficit Balances after taking into account all other allocations and adjustments under this Agreement, then items of Book income and gain for such year will be reallocated to such Members in the amount and in the proportions needed to eliminate such Excess Deficit Balances as quickly as possible.

(e) Other Allocations.

(i) If during any Tax Year of the Company there is a change in any Member’s Units, allocations of Book income or loss for such Tax Year will take into account the varying interests of the Members in the Company in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 706 of the Code, using the interim closing of the books method or such other method as shall be reasonably approved by the Executive Committee.

(f) Allocation of Tax Items.

(i) In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.9(f), all items of income, gain, loss and deduction will be allocated among the Members for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the same manner as the corresponding allocation for Book purposes.

Nothing in this Agreement (except for those provisions herein that are expressly for the benefit of the Indemnitees and the Company Indemnitees), and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in this Article III, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to give to any creditor of the Company or to any creditor of any Member or any other Person, other than the Members and the Company, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any covenant, condition or provisions herein contained, and such provisions are and shall be held to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Members and the Company.

Such distributions shall be paid with respect to a Tax Year of the Company within 90 days after the end of such Tax Year, or, in the Executive Committee’s discretion, at such earlier times as may be determined by the Executive Committee so as to enable the Members to pay their quarterly estimated tax payments for such Tax Year.

(b) If, on the date the Company makes any distribution pursuant to this Section 4.2, the Company does not have an amount of cash sufficient to enable the Company to distribute to all the Members the aggregate amount to which they are entitled pursuant to this Section 4.2, then the Company shall distribute to each Member an amount equal to: (i) the amount to which such Member is entitled pursuant to this Section 4.2, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the Company’s cash available to make the distributions required under this Section 4.2 and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount to which all the Members are entitled pursuant to this Section 4.2; provided that at such time as the Company may thereafter have sufficient cash to enable the Company to make additional distributions to the Members pursuant to this Section 4.2, as determined by the Executive Committee, the Company shall make one or more additional distributions to each Member in accordance with this Section 4.2(b).

(c) Distributions to a Member under this Section 4.2 shall reduce, dollar-for-dollar, any amounts otherwise distributable to such Member under Section 4.1, Section 9.1 or

- 17 -

in connection with a Company Sale structured as a direct or indirect Transfer of Units representing 100% of the total outstanding Equity Interests of the Company.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to borrow funds, and no Member shall be required to make any capital contributions to the Company, in order to enable the Company to make any distributions pursuant to this Section 4.2.

4.3 Amounts Withheld. The Company shall at all times be entitled to make payments with respect to each Member in amounts required to discharge any obligation of the Company to withhold or make payments to any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority (“Taxing Authority”) with respect to any issuance of Class B Incentive Units or distribution or allocation of income or gain to such Member and to withhold (or deduct) the same from distributions to such Member. Any funds withheld from a distribution to a Member by the Company by reason of this Section 4.3 and all taxes incurred directly or indirectly by the Company in respect of a Member shall nonetheless be deemed distributed to such Member for all purposes under this Agreement. If the Company makes any payment to a Taxing Authority or incurs directly or indirectly any tax in respect of a Member hereunder that is not withheld from actual distributions to such Member, then such Member shall (on demand from the Company) reimburse the Company for the amount of such payment (and any such reimbursement shall not constitute a capital contribution hereunder). If the amount of such payment is not reimbursed by the applicable Member within ten (10) Business Days of demand for such reimbursement, such Member shall pay to the Company interest, compounded annually, on such amount from the date of such payment until such amount is repaid to the Company at the Prime Rate (and such payment of interest shall not constitute a capital contribution hereunder). The amount of a Member’s reimbursement obligation under this Section 4.3, to the extent not paid, shall be deducted from the amount of any distributions otherwise payable to such Member by the Company, and any amounts so deducted shall constitute a repayment (to the extent of such deducted amount) of such Member’s obligation hereunder. Each Member’s reimbursement obligation under this Section 4.3 shall continue after such Member transfers its interest in the Company, after a withdrawal by such Member or after dissolution of the Company. Each Member agrees to furnish the Company with any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Company to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, any withholding obligations it may have. Each Member shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company against all claims, liabilities and expenses of whatever nature relating to the Company’s obligation to withhold and to pay over, or otherwise pay, any withholding or other taxes payable by the Company as a result of such Member’s participation in the Company.

4.4 Limitations on Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to make a distribution to any Member on account of its interest in the Company if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 or Section 18-804 of the Act or any other applicable law. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that distributions to any holder of a Class B Incentive Unit or any holder of a Class J Incentive Unit shall be limited to the extent necessary so that each Class B Incentive Unit and each Class J Incentive Unit, as applicable, constitutes a Profits Interest. In furtherance of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Executive Committee shall, if

- 18 -

necessary, limit distributions to any Member in respect of a Class B Incentive Unit or Class J Incentive Unit, as applicable, so that such distributions do not exceed the available profits in respect of such Member’s related Class B Incentive Unit or Class J Incentive Unit.

4.5 Deemed Company Sale. In the event the Members sell all (but not less than all) of their Common Units to a Bona Fide Third Party or Third Party Purchaser (whether in a single transaction or series of related transactions), the proceeds of such transaction(s) shall be allocated amongst the Members as if such proceeds were Capital Proceeds distributed in accordance with Section 4.1(g).

(a) The Initial Members hereby form an executive committee of the Company (the “Executive Committee”). The Executive Committee will consist of five (5) members (each, an “Executive Committee Member”), (i) three (3) of whom will be designated by AHI Member (the “AHI Designees”), for so long as (A) AHI Member and its Group Members continue to own at least 25% of the total Class A Common Units and (B) two or more of the Principals retain voting control of AHI Member (clauses (A) and (B) together, the “AHI Designation Threshold”), and (ii) two (2) of whom will be designated by NSAM Member (the “NSAM Designees”) for so long as NSAM Member and its Group Members continue to own at least 24% of the total Class A Common Units (the “NSAM Designation Threshold”); provided, that if any issuance (or series of related issuances) of Class A Common Units would result in the NSAM Designation Threshold no longer being satisfied, then, unless such issuance (or series of related issuances) was approved by the NSAM Designees, such issuance (or series of related issuances) shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether the NSAM Designation Threshold is satisfied. Except as otherwise provided herein, (x) AHI Member, in the case of the AHI Designees and (y) NSAM Member, in the case of the NSAM Designees, shall have the sole right to remove their respective Executive Committee Members (at any time, for any reason or no reason). In the event that AHI Member at any time no longer has the right to appoint the AHI Designees or NSAM Member at any time no longer has the right to appoint the NSAM Designees, a majority of the remaining Executive Committee Members may remove the AHI Designees or the NSAM Designees, as applicable, and appoint their replacements. Except as expressly provided otherwise pursuant to the preceding sentence, in the event that a vacancy is created on the Executive Committee as a result of the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of any Executive Committee Member, then the Person or Persons that designated such Executive Committee Member shall have the right to designate a Person to fill such vacancy; provided, that with respect to an AHI Designee, the AHI Designation Threshold is met, and with respect to an NSAM Designee, the NSAM Designation Threshold is met.

The attendance of an Executive Committee Member at a meeting of the Executive Committee either in person or telephonically (other than for the purposes of protesting the absence of notice of the meeting) shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting. The meetings of the Executive Committee may be held (i) at the principal place of business of the Company, (ii) by telephone conference, or (iii) by other means determined by the Executive Committee Members. The Executive Committee Member unable to attend a meeting of the Executive Committee in person for any reason shall be entitled to participate in such meeting by telephone conference, and such participation shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

If none of the NSAM Designees are able to attend a meeting of the Executive Committee, a representative of NSAM Member shall be permitted (but will not be required) to attend such meeting in person or by telephone conference solely as a non-voting observer (which non-voting observer shall not be included for purposes of establishing a quorum), and shall have the right to receive all materials distributed to the Executive Committee Members in connection with such meeting. If at any meeting of the Executive Committee there shall be less than a quorum present, a majority of those present may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall have been obtained. Telephonic participation in any meeting by any Executive Committee Member shall constitute such Executive Committee Member’s presence at such meeting for all purposes of this Agreement. Any decision made by an absolute majority of the total number of Executive Committee Members (e.g. at least three (3) Executive Committee Members when the Executive Committee is comprised of four (4) or five (5) Executive Committee Members) shall constitute the act of and approval by the Executive Committee; provided, that so long as the NSAM Designation Threshold is met, the approval of both NSAM Designees shall be required to approve any Major Matter. Any decision or other action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Executive Committee may be taken without a meeting by written resolution if a copy of such resolution is delivered by the Executive Committee to each Executive Committee Member and shall be effective upon the date on which such resolution is approved in writing by the requisite Executive Committee Members; provided, that so long as the NSAM Designation Threshold is met, the approval of both NSAM Designees shall be required to approve any Major Matter. Minutes of each meeting and a record of each decision shall be kept by a designee of the Executive Committee and

5.6 Other Activities. Except as otherwise expressly required by this Agreement, including the Allocation Principles, or the Exclusivity Letter:

(a) NSAM Member (or any Affiliate thereof) may own, purchase, sell, or otherwise deal in any manner with any investments that directly compete with, may otherwise conflict with, or involve a business opportunity that may be beneficial to, the interests and business of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries without notice to and without participation of the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries or any other Member, and without liability of any kind or nature whatsoever. NSAM Member shall not be deemed to have violated a duty or obligation to

- 27 -

the Company or the Company’s Subsidiaries merely because the conduct of NSAM Member (or any of its Affiliates) furthers the interests of NSAM Member (or any of its Affiliates). No transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall be void or voidable solely because NSAM Member (or any of its Affiliates) has a direct or indirect interest in the transaction. The Company, its Subsidiaries and each other Member expressly acknowledges that NSAM Member will not be obligated to inform or present to the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any other Member any such competitive transaction or business opportunity and none of the Company, any Subsidiary or any other Member will be entitled to acquire, on account of the transaction by NSAM Member an interest or participation in any such other competitive transaction or business opportunity.

5.7 Conflicting Interests; Enforcement of Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(a) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has any legal claim or action against (i) AHI Member, any Principal, or any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) (an “AHI Dispute”), or (ii) any NSAM Entity (a “NSAM Dispute”), then NSAM Member (in the case of an AHI Dispute) or any Principal designated by AHI Member (in the case of a NSAM Dispute), shall have sole power and authority to act on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to the pursuit and enforcement of such AHI Dispute or NSAM Dispute, as applicable, including with respect to waiving any claims or rights or granting any releases, and shall be permitted to pursue any and all remedies it deems appropriate (in its sole discretion), whether arising under contract or statute, by operation of law or otherwise. If in a final determination rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction that is not subject to appeal, it is determined that a Principal (in the case of an AHI Dispute) or any NSAM Entity, including any

- 28 -

director, officer, or employee of any NSAM Entity (in the case of a NSAM Dispute) has committed fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence in the conduct of its duties to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, then NSAM Member shall have sole power and authority to remove such Principal (in the case of such AHI Dispute) and AHI Member shall have sole power and authority to remove both NSAM Designees (in the case of such NSAM Dispute) from the Executive Committee, the Investment Committee of each Permitted Investment Vehicle and from the offices then held by such Persons at the Company and any of its Subsidiaries. AHI Member shall have the sole right to appoint any replacements for any Principal removed pursuant to this Section 5.7(a) for so long as the AHI Designation Threshold is met, and NSAM Member shall have the sole right to appoint any replacements for the NSAM Designees removed pursuant to this Section 5.7(a) for so long as the NSAM Designation Threshold is met; provided, that any such replacements appointed by AHI Member shall be subject to NSAM Member’s approval (for so long as the NSAM Designation Threshold is met) and any such replacements appointed by NSAM Member shall be subject to AHI Member’s approval (for so long as the AHI Designation Threshold is met), such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(b) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has entered into a Contract with (i) AHI Member, any Principal or any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) (an “AHI Contract”), or (ii) any NSAM Entity (a “NSAM Contract”), then NSAM Member (in the case of an AHI Contract) or one or more Principals designated by AHI Member (in the case of a NSAM Contract), shall have sole power and authority to exercise and enforce, on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries, all rights, benefits, privileges and remedies of the Company and its Subsidiaries, whether at law or in equity, under such AHI Contract or NSAM Contract, as applicable; provided, however, that notwithstanding this Section 5.7, in no event shall any Person be permitted to terminate the NSAM Sub-Advisory Agreement without Cause, without the prior approval of the NSAM Designees (for so long as the NSAM Designation Threshold is met).

(c) Any action taken by NSAM Member or any Principal pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be given the same force and effect vis-à-vis the Company and its Subsidiaries as an action taken by the Executive Committee on a non-Major Matter; provided, however, when exercising its rights under this Section 5.7, neither NSAM Member nor any Principal shall be required to comply with any of the meeting, quorum, notice, voting or other requirements applicable to the Executive Committee under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any action taken by AHI Member or any Principal pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall not constitute a Major Matter.

5.8 Healthcare Activities by AHI. AHI Member and each Principal shall present to the Company all Healthcare investment opportunities sourced by AHI Member or such Principal to the extent required by the Allocation Principles. To the extent a Healthcare investment opportunity is sourced by AHI Member or any Principal and all Persons entitled to pursue such opportunity in accordance with the Allocation Principles elect to pass on such opportunity, then AHI Member, any Principal or their respective Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) shall be permitted to invest their personal funds in such opportunity on a passive basis (without taking on any active management role on behalf of others or fundraising responsibilities except with respect to friends and family) without further obligation to the Company, any Member or other Person.

- 29 -

5.9 Group Members

AHI Member shall be jointly and severally liable for the actions of its Group Members under this Agreement (and all other Group Members in AHI Member’s group shall be severally liable for their own actions under this Agreement). NSAM Member and NSAM Parent shall be jointly and severally liable for the actions of their Group Members under this Agreement (and all other Group Members in NSAM Member’s group shall be severally liable for their own actions under this Agreement); and

The Group Members may replace their Group Agent from time to time upon written notice to the other Members. For so long as there is only one AHI Member or NSAM Member, such party shall be designated the Group Agent for AHI Member and NSAM Member, as applicable. Notices given or received by the Group Agent shall be deemed given or received by all Group Members and shall be binding on all Group Members as if given or received by each of them.

5.10 Public Offerings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if NSAM Parent determines in its good faith judgment that it would be detrimental to NSAM Parent or any of its Affiliates for the Company to file a registration statement in connection with a Public Offering because such action would (a) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction of NSAM Parent or its Affiliates; (b) require premature disclosure of material information that NSAM Parent or any of its Affiliates has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (c) render NSAM Parent or any of its Affiliates unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, then NSAM Parent shall have the right, exercisable not more than once every twelve (12) calendar months, to cause the Company to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of up to ninety (90) days, and the Company shall not register any securities for its own account or that of any other stockholder during such ninety (90) day period unless such filing or registration is expressly required by law.

- 36 -

wholly-owned Affiliate transferees shall indemnify the Company and each other Member against any taxes (including interest and penalties imposed by a taxing authority) incurred by such indemnitee as a result of such Transfer (it being understood that, subject to the further provisions of this Article VII, upon consummation of such Transfer, such transferee shall be deemed to be a Group Member with NSAM Member or AHI Member, as applicable);

(e) If AHI Member or NSAM Member proposes to Transfer any of its Common Units and Promote Units in a manner that gives rise to the other Member’s Tag-Along Rights and ROFO Right, then NSAM Member (in the case of a Transfer by AHI Member) and AHI Member (in the case of a Transfer by NSAM Member) may elect to exercise either its Tag-Along Rights pursuant to Section 7.4 or its ROFO Right pursuant to Section 7.2, but never both in connection with the same Transfer.

7.2 ROFO Right. Prior to (x) AHI Member, NSAM Member or Xxxxxxxx Member consummating a Transfer pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(ii) or (y) the Initiating Seller initiating a

- 37 -

Company Sale pursuant to Section 7.5 (the transferring Member in clause (x) or (y), the “ROFO Transferring Party”), the ROFO Transferring Party shall comply with the following procedures (the “ROFO Procedures”):

(a) The ROFO Transferring Party shall first offer the Common Units and Promote Units it intends to Transfer (the “ROFO Units”) to AHI Member (if NSAM Member is the ROFO Transferring Party), NSAM Member (if AHI Member is the ROFO Transferring Party) or NSAM Member and AHI Member (if Xxxxxxxx Member is the ROFO Transferring Party), as applicable (the “ROFO Member(s)”), by providing a written notice to the ROFO Member(s) of the ROFO Transferring Party’s desire to Transfer such Common Units and Promote Units indicating the offering price (the “ROFO Offer Price”), which must be in cash in United States dollars, and the other material terms and conditions on which the ROFO Units are being offered to the ROFO Member(s) for Transfer (such notice, a “ROFO Notice”). A ROFO Notice shall also constitute a Tag-Along Notice for purposes of Section 7.4(c) (to the extent the ROFO Member(s) have Tag-Along Rights).

(b) If AHI Member or NSAM Member is the ROFO Transferring Party, the ROFO Member shall have the right (the “ROFO Right”), for a period of sixty (60) days (when NSAM Member is the ROFO Member) or one hundred twenty (120) days (when AHI Member is the ROFO Member) after receiving the ROFO Notice, to deliver written notice (the “ROFO Purchase Notice”) to the ROFO Transferring Party of such ROFO Member’s election to purchase all, but not less than all of the ROFO Units (at the ROFO Offer Price, and on the other terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Notice).

(c) If Xxxxxxxx Member is the ROFO Transferring Party, each ROFO Member shall have the right, for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days after receiving the ROFO Notice, to deliver a ROFO Purchase Notice to the ROFO Transferring Party of such ROFO Member’s election to purchase all, but not less than all of such ROFO Member’s Class A Pro Rata Share of the ROFO Units; provided, that if any ROFO Member elects not to purchase its Class A Pro Rata Share of ROFO Units, then the other ROFO Member that elected to purchase its full Class A Pro Rata Share of the ROFO Units (the “Fully Participating ROFO Member”) may purchase all of the ROFO Units. The ROFO Transferring Party shall deliver written notice to such Fully Participating ROFO Member indicating the availability of additional ROFO Units, and the Fully Participating ROFO Member shall have five (5) Business Days to deliver a written notice to the ROFO Transferring Party indicating its election to purchase all of the ROFO Units.

(d) Delivery of a ROFO Purchase Notice by a ROFO Member pursuant to Section 7.2(b) or 7.2(c), as applicable, shall cause such ROFO Member to automatically forfeit its Tag-Along Rights with respect to such Transfer. Failure by a ROFO Member to timely deliver a ROFO Purchase Notice shall be deemed an election by such ROFO Member not to exercise its ROFO Right. If any portion of the ROFO Units are not purchased by the ROFO Member(s), the ROFO Transferring Party may Transfer the remaining portion of the ROFO Units to a Bona Fide Third Party or in a MBO (either at the ROFO Offer Price or at a higher price, which, subject to Sections 7.2(f), (g) and (h), may be paid in cash or non-cash assets (the “Non-Cash Assets”), or a combination of the two, on terms and conditions no more favorable to such Bona Fide Third Party

- 38 -

or in a MBO than those offered to the ROFO Member); provided, that if Xxxxxxxx Member is the ROFO Transferring Party, Xxxxxxxx Member shall not be entitled to transfer its ROFO Units for consideration consisting of Non-Cash Assets. If a ROFO Member delivers a ROFO Purchase Notice in a timely manner (in accordance with Section 7.2(b) or 7.2(c), as applicable), then (i) on or before the 60th day after receipt of the ROFO Purchase Notice (the “ROFO Closing Date”), such ROFO Member (or its designated Affiliate) shall purchase from the ROFO Transferring Party, and the ROFO Transferring Party shall sell to the ROFO Member (or a designated Affiliate thereof), the number of ROFO Units available for purchase by such ROFO Member (at the ROFO Offer Price or its applicable portion of the ROFO Offer Price, payable in cash, and on the other terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Notice) and (ii) on the ROFO Closing Date, such ROFO Member (or a designated Affiliate thereof) shall pay or cause to be paid to the ROFO Transferring Party the ROFO Offer Price (or its applicable portion of the ROFO Offer Price) in immediately available funds.

(e) The following additional provisions shall apply solely with respect to a Transfer of ROFO Units to ROFO Member(s) pursuant to this Section 7.2:

(i) The ROFO Transferring Party and each ROFO Member (or a designated Affiliate thereof) shall each deliver to the other a duly executed and acknowledged instrument pursuant to which the ROFO Units are conveyed to the ROFO Member(s) (or designated Affiliates thereof), free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (other than those created by this Agreement or under applicable securities laws), which instrument shall contain customary representations concerning (among others), due organization and authority of the ROFO Transferring Party and each ROFO Member (or a designated Affiliate thereof), ownership of the ROFO Units by the ROFO Transferring Party and the absence of liens and encumbrances on the ROFO Units (other than those created by this Agreement and under applicable securities laws), and shall contain a provision indemnifying and holding each ROFO Member (or a designated Affiliate thereof) harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) it may incur by reason of any breach of such representation (which indemnification shall be given or guaranteed by a creditworthy party reasonably satisfactory to each ROFO Member (or a designated Affiliate thereof), it being acknowledged that AHI Member and NSAM Member shall each be a creditworthy party); and

(ii) each of the ROFO Transferring Party and each ROFO Member (or designated Affiliates thereof) shall have obtained (at its sole cost and expense) any third party consents required by such party to consummate the sale of the ROFO Units pursuant to this Section 7.2.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a ROFO Member does not elect to purchase its applicable portion of the ROFO Units pursuant to Section 7.2(b) and the ROFO Transferring Party desires to Transfer the ROFO Units to a Bona Fide Third Party or in a MBO in exchange for consideration that includes Non-Cash Assets, then the ROFO Transferring Party shall notify the ROFO Member in writing (the “ROFO Non-Cash Notice”), which notice shall include a description (in reasonable detail) of the total consideration to be paid for such ROFO Units and

- 39 -

the value ascribed by the ROFO Transferring Party to the portion of such consideration comprised of Non-Cash Assets, including backup documentation supporting such ascribed value (the “ROFO Transferring Party’s Valuation”). The ROFO Member shall have forty-five (45) days following receipt of the ROFO Non-Cash Notice to deliver to the ROFO Transferring Party a written statement objecting to the ROFO Transferring Party’s Valuation (the “ROFO Objections Statement”), which ROFO Objections Statement shall include the value ascribed to such Non-Cash Assets by the ROFO Member (the “ROFO Member Valuation”). During such forty-five (45)-day period, the ROFO Transferring Party shall provide, as promptly as practicable, all documentation reasonably requested by the ROFO Member or its representatives in connection with preparing the ROFO Member Valuation. If the ROFO Member fails to deliver a ROFO Objections Statement that includes a ROFO Member Valuation within such forty-five (45)-day period, then the ROFO Transferring Party shall be permitted to Transfer such ROFO Units to the Bona Fide Third Party or in a MBO, upon the terms and conditions no less favorable to the ROFO Transferring Party than those set forth in the ROFO Non-Cash Notice.

(g) If the ROFO Member delivers a ROFO Objections Statement that includes a ROFO Member Valuation within such forty-five (45)-day period, then the ROFO Transferring Party shall engage a Qualified Appraiser to determine the final value of such Non-Cash Assets. The Qualified Appraiser shall determine the final value of such Non-Cash Assets solely by reviewing the ROFO Transferring Party’s Valuation and the ROFO Member Valuation, and any reasonable backup documentation supporting such valuations, provided by each of the ROFO Transferring Party and the ROFO Member and, thereafter, choosing one of the two valuations as the final value of such Non-Cash Assets. AHI Member and NSAM Member acknowledge and agree that in connection with determining the final value of such Non-Cash Assets, the Qualified Appraiser shall in no event be permitted to (1) review any materials other than the reasonable backup documentation provided by the ROFO Transferring Party and the ROFO Member, as applicable, or (2) determine the final value of such Non-Cash Assets to be any value other than the ROFO Transferring Party’s Valuation or the ROFO Member Valuation. The determination by the Qualified Appraiser of the final value of such Non-Cash Assets (the “Final Non-Cash Value”) shall be binding on the ROFO Transferring Party and the ROFO Member. The expenses of the Qualified Appraiser shall be borne one hundred percent (100%) by the ROFO Transferring Party if the Qualified Appraiser selects the ROFO Member Valuation as the Final Non-Cash Value or one hundred percent (100%) by the ROFO Member if the Qualified Appraiser selects the ROFO Transferring Party’s Valuation as the Final Non-Cash Value.

(h) If the Final Non-Cash Value is the ROFO Transferring Party’s Valuation, the ROFO Transferring Party may Transfer the ROFO Units to the Bona Fide Third Party or in a MBO, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Non-Cash Notice. If the Final Non-Cash Value is the ROFO Member Valuation, the ROFO Transferring Party may Transfer the ROFO Units to the Bona Fide Third Party or in a MBO (upon the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Non-Cash Notice) but only if the sum of the Final Non-Cash Value and the total amount of cash consideration (if any) to be paid for such ROFO Units (such sum, the “Total Value”) equals or exceeds the ROFO Offer Price first offered by the ROFO Transferring Party pursuant to Section 7.2(a).

- 40 -

(i) If a Transfer to a Bona Fide Third Party or a MBO is not consummated within two hundred seventy (270) days following delivery of the ROFO Notice, then the ROFO Transferring Party shall not Transfer the ROFO Units without again complying with all of the provisions of this Section 7.2; provided, however, that such two hundred seventy-day period shall be tolled from the date the ROFO Member delivers the ROFO Objections Statement to the ROFO Transferring Party until the date a Qualified Appraiser selected by the ROFO Transferring Party determines the Final Non-Cash Value. If the ROFO Transferring Party defaults in its obligation to transfer the ROFO Units to the ROFO Member(s) (or designated Affiliates thereof) in accordance with this Section 7.2 or otherwise fails to comply with its obligations under this Section 7.2, the ROFO Member(s) (or designated Affiliates thereof) shall have all rights and remedies available pursuant to law and in equity, including the right to specifically enforce the terms of this Section 7.2 and to bring an action for damages against the ROFO Transferring Party.

7.3 Conditions Applicable to All Transfers.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VII to the contrary, no Transfer by a Member otherwise contemplated or permitted by this Article VII shall be permitted (i) except in connection with a Company Sale, if any state or local transfer taxes payable by the Company shall arise as a result of, or shall be caused directly or indirectly by, such Transfer unless the transferor in connection with any Transfer pursuant to Article VII shall have previously submitted to the Company in advance its calculation of any such taxes and copies of any necessary tax filings and shall have agreed in a separate writing acceptable to the other Members in their reasonable discretion to pay such taxes and to indemnify and hold the Company and the other Members harmless from and against any such taxes, (ii) if the Executive Committee reasonably determines that prohibiting such Transfer is necessary or advisable in order to prevent the Company from being treated as a publicly traded partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise failing to qualify for the safe harbor from being a publicly traded partnership under Treasury Regulation § 1.7704-1(h), (iii) if such Transfer would result in the Company or any Member having to register under the Securities Act, the Investment Company Act, or any other federal, state or local securities laws, (iv) if such Transfer would violate the registration provisions of the Securities Act or of any other federal, state or local securities laws, (v) if such Transfer would violate any other applicable laws, including Executive Order 13224 (September 23, 2001), the rules and regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of Treasury, and any enabling legislation or other Executive Orders in respect thereof, (vi) if such Transfer would cause a Material Default to occur, or (viii) such transfer would constitute a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) or Section 407 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

(b) Any purported Transfer of Units in violation of this Article VII shall be void ab initio, and shall not bind the Company, and any purported Transfer by a Member or of direct or indirect ownership interests in a Member in violation of this Article VII shall be deemed a default by such Member hereunder (the “Defaulting Member”) and the Defaulting Member shall indemnify and hold the Company and the other Members harmless from and against any and all loss, damage or expense, including any U.S. federal, state or local income taxes, or transfer taxes, including transfer gain taxes, arising as a result of, or caused directly or indirectly by, such purported Transfer. The giving of any consent to a Transfer in any one or more instances shall not limit or

- 41 -

waive the need for such consent in any other or subsequent instances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless a transferee is admitted as an Additional Member to the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.3(c), the transferor shall not be relieved of any liability hereunder, and the transferee shall not be entitled to any of the rights granted to a Member hereunder, other than the right to receive all or part of the share of the income, gain, losses or cash distributions to which its transferor would otherwise be entitled.

(c) No transferee of any Units shall be admitted to the Company as an Additional Member unless and until (i) except in connection with a Company Sale, the transferee has executed a counterpart of this Agreement and such other instruments as the Executive Committee deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to confirm the undertaking of the transferee to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement, (ii) except in connection with a Company Sale, the transferee has paid any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such Transfer and (iii) the transferee executes and delivers a statement that it is acquiring the Units for its own account for investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof and that it will only Transfer the acquired Units (subject to the terms of this Article VII) to a Person that similarly so represents and warrants; provided, that, in connection with a Company Sale, each transferee shall be deemed to be admitted as an Additional Member so long as such transferee complies with the immediately preceding clause (iii) only. Unless and until such transferee becomes an Additional Member, such transferee shall not be entitled to exercise any vote, consent or any other right or entitlement with respect to such Units and the only effect of such Transfer shall be to entitle the transferee to receive, to the extent assigned, the distributions and allocations of income, gain, losses or cash distributions to which the transferor would be entitled.

7.4 Tag-Along Rights.

(a) In the event that AHI Member or NSAM Member (the “Proposed Seller”) shall Transfer any Common Units and Promote Units to a Bona Fide Third Party or in a MBO (a “Proposed Purchaser”) in accordance with Section 7.1(b)(ii) (a “Tag-Along Sale”), and such Transfer would cause either the NSAM Designation Threshold or the AHI Designation Threshold, as applicable, to no longer be satisfied, then NSAM Member and Xxxxxxxx Member, in the event AHI Member is the Proposed Seller, and AHI Member and Xxxxxxxx Member, in the event NSAM Member is the Proposed Seller (the “Tag-Along Members”) shall have the right and option (“Tag-Along Rights”), but not the obligation, to sell up to their Requisite Percentage (as defined below) of Units in such Tag-Along Sale, on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.1(e) and this Section 7.4.

Following receipt of such Company Notice, the Executive Committee shall have thirty (30) days to prepare and deliver to the Proposed Seller, an allocation schedule, allocating the Tag-Along Consideration amongst the different classes of Units proposed

- 42 -

to be transferred in the Tag-Along Sale (the “Tag-Along Allocation Schedule”). The Tag-Along Allocation Schedule shall be prepared in the Executive Committee’s good faith judgment, based upon the advice of, and valuation by, a reputable and independent, nationally recognized financial advisor. The Tag-Along Allocation Schedule shall be final and binding on all Members absent manifest error.

(c) The Proposed Seller shall notify the Tag-Along Members in writing of any proposed Tag-Along Sale at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such proposed Tag-Along Sale (a “Tag-Along Notice”). A Tag-Along Notice shall also constitute a ROFO Notice for purposes of Section 7.2(a) (to the extent the Tag-Along Members have ROFO rights). Any such Tag-Along Notice delivered to the Tag-Along Members in connection with a proposed Tag-Along Sale shall set forth: (i) the number and classes of Units the Proposed Seller is selling in connection with such Tag-Along Sale (the “Offered Tag-Along Sale Units”), (ii) the name and address of the Proposed Purchaser in such Tag-Along Sale, (iii) the Tag-Along Consideration, (iv) the Tag-Along Allocation Schedule, (v) the material terms and conditions of such proposed Tag-Along Sale and (vi) the proposed effective date of the proposed Tag-Along Sale.

(d) Each Tag-Along Member shall have the right to sell to the Proposed Purchaser, upon the terms set forth in the Tag-Along Notice, up to that number of each class of Units included in the Tag-Along Notice equal to a percentage of the total number of such class of Units proposed to be sold by the Proposed Seller determined by dividing (A) the total number of such class of Units then owned by such Tag-Along Member by (B) the sum of (x) the total number of such class of Units then owned by all Tag-Along Members and (y) the total number of such class of Units then owned by the Proposed Seller (the “Requisite Percentage”). Each Tag-Along Member may exercise its Tag-Along Rights in connection with a Tag-Along Sale described in a Tag-Along Notice by delivery of a written notice to the Proposed Seller within thirty (30) days following receipt of a Tag-Along Notice from such Proposed Seller. Delivery of any such notice by a Tag-Along Member shall cause such Tag-Along Member to automatically forfeit its ROFO Right (if applicable) with respect to such Transfer. In the event that one or more Tag-Along Members shall elect to exercise their respective Tag-Along Rights in connection with a proposed Tag-Along Sale, the number of Offered Tag-Along Sale Units to be Transferred by the Proposed Seller to the Proposed Purchaser will be reduced by the applicable number of Units to be included in the Transfer by such Tag-Along Members, and the Transfer to the Proposed Purchaser will otherwise proceed in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.4 and the Tag-Along Notice.

(e) In the event that any Tag-Along Members shall elect to exercise Tag-Along Rights in connection with a proposed Tag-Along Sale, the Proposed Seller and such Tag-Along Members shall take, or cause to be taken, all action, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or advisable to consummate and make effective such Tag-Along Sale, including (i) together with the Proposed Purchaser, execute any purchase agreement or other certificates, instruments and other agreement required to consummate the proposed Transfer to the Proposed Purchaser; provided, that any indemnification provided by the Tag-Along Member to the Proposed Purchaser shall be made on a several (and not joint) basis, pro rata in proportion to, and limited to, the sale proceeds paid to each seller in connection with the Tag-Along Sale (except in the case of indemnifications arising as a result of a breach of a representation or warranty relating specifically

- 43 -

to a particular seller, which shall be borne solely by such seller), and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary consents from third parties and take such other actions as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of the foregoing. In connection with any Tag-Along Sale in which NSAM Member exercises its Tag-Along Rights, NSAM Member agrees to (x) enter into a customary two-year non-solicitation agreement and (y) extend the term of exclusivity covenants set forth in the Exclusivity Letter for the period provided in paragraph 1(b) thereof, in each case, for the benefit of the Proposed Purchaser; and to the extent the AHI Member exercises its Tag-Along Rights, each Principal agrees to extend the term of the non-solicit and non-compete covenants set forth in its Non-Compete Agreement for the benefit of the Proposed Purchaser for a period not to exceed two years from the closing date of such Tag-Along Sale if, at any time during the six (6) month period immediately preceding such Principal’s receipt of the Tag-Along Notice, such Principal held a direct or indirect ownership interest in the Company, or served as an employee or consultant to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. At the closing of any such proposed Tag-Along Sale, the Proposed Seller and the Tag-Along Members shall deliver to the Proposed Purchaser (A) such instruments of transfer as shall be requested by the Proposed Purchaser with respect to the Units to be Transferred, against receipt of the purchase price therefor and (B) such Members’ Units to be Transferred, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances (other than those created by this Agreement or under applicable securities laws) and such Members shall so represent and warrant. At the closing of any proposed Tag-Along Sale, the Proposed Purchaser shall deliver payment (subject to any holdbacks, escrows or adjustments in purchase price) for the Units purchased by such Proposed Purchaser, which shall be distributed to the Tag-Along Members in accordance with the Tag-Along Allocation Schedule. In the event that the closing of any Tag-Along Sale shall not occur within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the Tag-Along Notice with respect thereto, the Tag-Along Members shall be entitled to revoke the Tag-Along Notice, in which event any subsequent Transfer of Units by such Proposed Seller shall once again become subject to the provisions of this Section 7.4.

(f) There shall be no liability on the part of the Executive Committee, the Proposed Seller or the Company to the Tag-Along Member or any of its Affiliates if any Tag-Along Sale is not consummated for any reason. For the avoidance of doubt, the determination of whether to effect a Tag-Along Sale shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Proposed Seller.

7.5 Company Sale.

(a) If at any time following the seventh (7^th) anniversary of the Effective Date, AHI Member or NSAM Member (the “Initiating Seller”) desires to cause a Company Sale to an unrelated and unaffiliated third party purchaser (each, a “Third Party Purchaser”) or in connection with a MBO, then the Initiating Seller shall notify the other Members of its desire to effect a Company Sale at least thirty (30) days prior to marketing or otherwise engaging in any discussions, solicitations or negotiations with any potential Third Party Purchaser or in connection with a MBO; provided, however, AHI Member may initiate a Company Sale at any time when the NSAM Designation Threshold is not met and NSAM Member may initiate a Company Sale at any time when the AHI Designation Threshold is not met. Following such thirty (30) day period, the Initiating Seller shall be permitted to engage in discussions and negotiations with prospective Third Party Purchasers or

- 44 -

in connection with a MBO, and in furtherance thereof shall (in the case of AHI Member, so long as the AHI Designation Threshold is met, and in the case of NSAM Member, so long as the NSAM Designation Threshold is met) have the right to require the other Members (the “Dragged Members”) to, and the Dragged Members shall, (i) if such Transfer is structured as a sale of Units, Transfer, or cause to be Transferred, to the Third Party Purchaser or in connection with a MBO all of the Units held by the Dragged Members, or (ii) if such Transfer is structured as a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, waive dissenters’ rights, appraisal rights or similar rights, if any, which the Dragged Members may have in connection therewith. The rights of the Initiating Seller under this Section 7.5 shall be exercisable by written notice (a “Drag Along Notice”) delivered by the Initiating Seller to the Dragged Members and the Company no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the execution of a definitive agreement with regard to such Company Sale, which shall state (A) that the Initiating Seller proposes to effect a Company Sale, (B) the proposed purchase price to be paid by the Third Party Purchaser or in connection with a MBO pursuant to such Company Sale (the “Company Sale Consideration”), and (C) the other principal terms of such Company Sale.

(b) Prior to or in connection with the closing of any such proposed Company Sale, each Dragged Member shall execute any purchase agreement or other certificates, instruments and other agreements required to consummate the proposed Company Sale, including making individual representations and warranties, which shall be borne solely by such Dragged Member, and requisite indemnifications to the Third Party Purchaser or in connection with a MBO; provided, however, that (i) any such purchase agreement or other certificates, instruments and other agreements shall be on terms no less favorable to the Dragged Members than those executed by the Initiating Seller in connection with such Company Sale except as a result of different rights of the Units pursuant to Section 4.1 and any customary employment-related compensation, (ii) the Dragged Members shall not be required to make any representations or warranties regarding the Company and (iii) any indemnification obligations and liabilities owed to the Third Party Purchaser or in connection with a MBO by the Initiating Seller and by the Dragged Members (including any escrows, holdbacks or adjustments in purchase price) shall be made on a several (but not joint) basis, pro rata in accordance with the portion of the aggregate consideration payable in connection with such Company Sale to the Initiating Seller and the Dragged Members and shall be limited, with respect to each Dragged Member, to the aggregate consideration payable in connection with such Company Sale to such Dragged Member; provided, that, (A) in the case of indemnifications obligations and liabilities arising as a result of a breach of a representation or warranty relating specifically to a particular seller, such indemnification shall be borne solely by such seller and (B) except as set forth in Section 7.5(c), NSAM Member shall not be required to enter into any non-competition, non-solicitation or other similar restrictive covenants in connection with the Company Sale. At the closing of any such proposed Company Sale, the Dragged Members shall deliver to the Third Party Purchaser or in connection with a MBO (x) such instruments of transfer as shall be reasonably requested by the Third Party Purchaser or in connection with a MBO with respect to the Units to be Transferred, against payment of the purchase price therefor in such Company Sale (subject to any holdbacks, escrows or adjustments in purchase price) and (y) the Dragged Members’ Units in the Company, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances (other than those created by this Agreement or under applicable securities laws). The Executive Committee shall consent to any Company Sale effected in accordance with this Section 7.5, and the Initiating Seller and Dragged Members shall

- 45 -

each use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all other necessary consents from third parties and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary or reasonably requested by the Initiating Seller to consummate any Company Sale. Prior to consummation of a Company Sale, the Executive Committee shall prepare and deliver to the Members an allocation schedule, allocating the Company Sale Consideration amongst the different classes of Units of the Company (the “Company Sale Allocation Schedule”). The Company Sale Allocation Schedule shall be prepared in the Executive Committee’s good faith judgment, based upon the advice of, and valuation by, a reputable and independent, nationally recognized financial advisor. If and when received, the Company Sale Consideration shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with the Company Sale Allocation Schedule. The Company Sale Allocation Schedule shall be final and binding on all Members absent manifest error.

(c) In connection with a Company Sale in which (i) AHI Member is the Initiating Seller, NSAM Member agrees to (x) enter into a customary two-year non-solicitation agreement and (y) extend the term of its exclusivity covenants set forth in the Exclusivity Letter for the period provided in paragraph 1(b) thereof, in each case, for the benefit of the Third Party Purchaser (or in connection with a MBO) or (ii) NSAM Member is the Initiating Seller, each Principal agrees to extend the term of the non-solicit and non-compete covenants set forth in its Non-Compete Agreement for the benefit of the Third Party Purchaser (or in connection with a MBO) for a period not to exceed two years from the closing date of such Company Sale if, at any time during the six (6) month period immediately preceding such Principal’s receipt of the Drag Along Notice, such Principal held a direct or indirect ownership interest in the Company, or served as an employee or consultant to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(d) In the event that a Company Sale is effectuated through a business combination (whether by way of merger, recapitalization or otherwise) or asset sale, the Company and the Members shall take, or cause to be taken, all action, and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, advisable or reasonably requested by the Initiating Seller to consummate and make effective the business combination.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including in the preceding clauses of this Section 7.5), prior to the Initiating Seller initiating a Company Sale pursuant to this Section 7.5, NSAM Member (when AHI Member is the Initiating Seller) or AHI Member (when NSAM Member is the Initiating Seller) shall be entitled to purchase all of the Initiating Seller’s Common Units pursuant to a ROFO Right in accordance with Section 7.2. If NSAM Member or AHI Member, as the case may be, elects not to exercise its ROFO Right in accordance with the ROFO Procedures, then the Initiating Seller shall be permitted to initiate a Company Sale; provided, that prior to consummating such Company Sale, NSAM Member (when AHI Member is the Initiating Seller) or AHI Member (when NSAM Member is the Initiating Seller) shall have the right (the “ROFR Right”), for a period of ten (10) days following receipt of a bona fide written offer from the Third Party Purchaser or in connection with a MBO intending to consummate such Company Sale, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the applicable Initiating Seller’s Units on the same terms and conditions as the Third Party Purchaser or in connection with a MBO; provided, that the price for such Units shall be an amount equal to (x) the aggregate cash value of the consideration to be received by the Initiating Seller in connection with

- 46 -

such Company Sale (as set forth in a ROFO Notice delivered by the Initiating Seller), multiplied by (y) 1.02. Failure by NSAM Member or AHI Member, as applicable, to deliver notice to the Initiating Seller within such ten (10) -day period shall be deemed an election by NSAM Member or AHI Member, as applicable, not to exercise its ROFR Right. If NSAM Member or AHI Member, as applicable, does not elect to purchase the Initiating Seller’s Common Units, the Initiating Seller may consummate the Company Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in the Drag Along Notice. If such Company Sale is not consummated within two hundred seventy (270) days following delivery of the Drag-Along Notice by the Initiating Seller to NSAM Member or AHI Member, as applicable, then the Initiating Seller may not consummate the Company Sale without again complying with all of the provisions of this Section 7.5(e).

(f) There shall be no liability on the part of the Initiating Seller, the Executive Committee or the Company to the Dragged Members or any of their respective Affiliates if any Company Sale is not consummated for any reason. For the avoidance of doubt, the determination of whether to effect a Company Sale in accordance with Section 7.5 shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Initiating Seller.

ARTICLE VIII

EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Exculpation and Indemnification; Duties of Covered Persons.

(a) Subject to Section 8.1(c), Section 8.2(a) and Section 8.2(b), but notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement, whether express or implied, or any obligation or duty at law or in equity, each Covered Person shall have no liability to the Company, its Subsidiaries or any Member and shall be exculpated by the Company and the Members, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, for any Covered Conduct and for any Losses related to any Covered Conduct by (i) the Company or any Covered Person or (ii) any Person selected in good faith by any Covered Person to perform services for the Company.

(b) Subject to Section 8.1(c), Section 8.2(a) and Section 8.2(b), but notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement, whether express or implied, or any obligation or duty at law or in equity, each Covered Person (regardless of whether another Covered Person is entitled to indemnification) who is or was involved in any manner (including as a party or a witness) or is threatened to be made so involved in any threatened, pending or completed investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including any action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) (a “Proceeding”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, out of the Company’s assets, and not out of any other Person’s assets, from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any such Covered Person for any Covered Conduct.

- 47 -

(c) A Covered Person shall not be entitled to exculpation from liability as set forth in Section 8.1(a) or to indemnification as set forth in Section 8.1(b), in each case with respect to (i) any Covered Conduct or related Losses that, in a final determination rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction that is not subject to appeal, are determined to have constituted (or, in the case of any related Losses, been caused by) such Covered Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud or (ii) Losses or Proceedings among a Member and its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries).

(d) If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder is not paid in full by the Company within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Company, a Covered Person may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, the Covered Person shall also be entitled to be paid the reasonable expenses of prosecuting such claim. Neither the failure of the Company (including the Executive Committee) to have made its determination, prior to the commencement of such action, that indemnification of, or advancement of costs of defense to, the Covered Person is permissible in the circumstances nor an actual determination by the Company (including the Executive Committee) that such indemnification or advancement is not permissible will be (in itself) a defense to the action or create a presumption that such indemnification or advancement is not permissible; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the facts underlying any such determination may be introduced as evidence of whether indemnification or advancement is permissible. The indemnification provided hereunder will be a contract right and will include the right to receive payment of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses as they are incurred by a Covered Person in connection with such Proceeding, consistent with the provisions of applicable law as then in effect. The right of indemnification provided in this Section 8.1 shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which any such Person seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled under any other instrument or by reason of any action or otherwise.

(e) Promptly after receipt by a Covered Person of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding or the incurrence of any Loss, such Covered Person shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against the Company, give written notice to the Company of such event, provided that the failure of any Covered Person to give such notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 8.1 except to the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced by such failure to give such notice. If any Proceeding is brought against a Covered Person, the Company will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof to the extent that the Company may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Covered Person; provided, that in the case of retention of any counsel selected by the Company (a) the Covered Person shall have the right to retain separate counsel in any such Proceeding at the Covered Person’s sole expense; and (b) if (i) the retention of counsel by the Covered Person has been previously authorized by the Company, (ii) the counsel shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between either (1) the Company and the Covered Person or (2) the Covered Person and another Covered Person also represented by such counsel in the conduct of any such defense, or (iii) the Company shall not, in fact, have retained counsel to prosecute the defense of such Proceeding within thirty days, then the reasonable expenses of counsel retained by the Covered Person shall be at the expense of the Company. Subject to clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence, after notice from the Company to such Covered Person

- 48 -

of the Company’s election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the Company will not be liable for expenses subsequently incurred by such Covered Person in connection with the defense thereof. The Company shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of such Proceeding that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Covered Person of a release from all liabilities in respect to such Proceeding and the related Losses.

(f) Any Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the provisions of this Agreement and any other Transaction Agreement; upon the advice of counsel, accountants, and/or other professionals that is provided to the Company or such Covered Person; and upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, document, signature, or writing reasonably believed by it to be genuine, and may rely on a certificate signed by an officer, agent, or representative of any Person in order to ascertain any fact with respect to such Person or within such Person’s knowledge, and, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, such Covered Person shall not be liable to the Company, any Member, or to any other Person for such Covered Person’s reliance in good faith on this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, such advice, or such other items.

(g) The provisions of this Section 8.1 are for the benefit of the Covered Persons and will not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Person. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of the Company to the Members and to Covered Persons set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, and/or arising under law, are solely the obligations of the Company, and no liability whatsoever shall attach to, or be incurred by, any Covered Person for such obligations. Any claims against and/or recourse to any Covered Person for or in connection with the foregoing obligations, whether arising in law or equity or created by rule of law, statute, constitution, contract, or otherwise, are expressly released and waived under this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of such documents and the incurring by the Company of the obligations set forth in such documents.

(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement to the contrary, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Covered Person shall be liable to the Company, any Member, or to any other Person making claims on behalf of the foregoing, for consequential, exemplary, punitive, incidental, indirect, or special damages.

(i) NO MEMBER (IN ITS CAPACITY AS SUCH) SHALL HAVE ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT DUTIES OR LIABILITIES TO ANY OTHER MEMBERS, THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES (INCLUDING ANY FIDUCIARY DUTIES), AND NO MEMBER (IN ITS CAPACITY AS SUCH) SHALL HAVE ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT RIGHTS AGAINST ANY OTHER MEMBER OR THE COMPANY, BEYOND ANY DIRECT DUTIES, LIABILITIES AND RIGHTS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN, AND SUBJECT TO, THE EXPRESS TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL OTHER DUTIES OR IMPLIED DUTIES, LIABILITIES AND RIGHTS RELATING TO THE COMPANY OR ANY MEMBER (IN ITS CAPACITY AS SUCH), WHETHER BY OPERATION OF LAW OR IN

- 49 -

EQUITY, ARE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVED AND RELEASED BY THE MEMBERS TO FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

(j) No Member, acting in accordance with this Agreement, shall be liable to the Company, any Member or any such other Person for its good faith reliance on the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties of a Member otherwise existing under applicable law or in equity, are agreed by all parties hereto to replace such other duties to the greatest extent permitted under applicable law.

(k) Whenever a Member is required or permitted to make a decision, take or approve an action, or omit to do any of the foregoing: (a) in its discretion, under a similar grant of authority or latitude, or without an express standard of behavior (including standards such as “reasonable” or “good faith”), then such Member shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors, including its own, as it desires, and shall have no duty or obligation to consider any other interests or factors whatsoever, or (b) with an express standard of behavior (including standards such as “reasonable” or “good faith”), then such Member shall comply with such express standard but shall not be subject to any other, different, or additional standard imposed by applicable law.

(l) The provisions of this Section 8.1 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

8.2 Indemnification; Exculpation of Executive Committee Members, Officers, Employees and Agents.

(a) Executive Committee Members and Investment Committee Members.

(i) Actions Other Than by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, indemnify and advance expenses to any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that such Person is or was an Executive Committee Member (each a “Covered EC Member”), or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, board observer, manager, or member or other direct or indirect controlling Person (in such capacity) of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against Losses incurred or sustained by such Person in connection with such Proceeding so long as such Person acted in good faith and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his, her or its conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Person did not act in good faith, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

(ii) Actions by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, indemnify and advance expenses

- 50 -

to any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a Covered EC Member, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, board observer, manager, or member or other direct or indirect controlling Person (in such capacity) of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against Losses (other than judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) incurred or sustained by such Person in connection with the defense or settlement of such Proceeding so long as such Person acted in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such Person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court (or other adjudicatory forum) in which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, and in view of all the circumstances of the case, such Person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court (or adjudicator) shall deem proper.

(iii) Intent of Section. To the extent that Section 18-108 of the Act or any successor section thereto may be amended or supplemented from time to time, this Section 8.2(a) shall be deemed amended automatically and construed so as to permit indemnification and advancement of expenses to the fullest extent consistent herewith and from time to time permitted by law. Any amendment, modification, supplement or repeal of Section 18-108 of the Act or any successor section thereto or of this Section 8.2(a) shall not adversely affect any right or protection of, or apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of, any Covered EC Member or any other Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.2(a) for or with respect to acts or omissions of such Covered EC Member or Person occurring prior to such amendment, modification, supplement or repeal. For the avoidance of doubt, a Covered EC Member (in his or her capacity as such) shall have rights of indemnification and advancement under this Section 8.2(a) and not under Section 8.1(b). With respect to the Covered EC Members, the intent of this Section 8.2(a) is to provide for indemnification only in their capacity as an Executive Committee Member, and not with respect to (A) the performance of their covenants and other obligations under this Agreement as a Covered Person, employee, officer or agent of the Company, or otherwise or (B) the performance of their covenants and other obligations to the Company or any Member under any other Transaction Agreement.

(b) Officers, Employees and Agents.

(i) Actions Other Than by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, indemnify and advance expenses to any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he is or was an Officer, employee, or agent (in such capacity) of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an officer, employee or agent (in such capacity) of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust

- 51 -

or other enterprise, against Losses incurred or sustained by him in connection with such Proceeding so long as he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

(ii) Actions by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, indemnify and advance expenses to any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was an Officer, employee, or agent (in such capacity) of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an officer, employee, or agent (in such capacity) of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against Losses (other than judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) incurred or sustained by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such Proceeding so long as he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such Person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court (or other adjudicatory forum) in which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, and in view of all the circumstances of the case, such Person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court (or other adjudicator) shall deem proper.

(iii) Intent of Section. To the extent that Section 18-108 of the Act or any successor section thereto may be amended or supplemented from time to time, this Section 8.2(a) shall be deemed amended automatically and construed so as to permit indemnification and advancement of expenses to the fullest extent consistent herewith and from time to time permitted by law. Any amendment, modification, supplement or repeal of Section 18-108 of the Act or any successor section thereto or of this Section 8.2 shall not adversely affect any right or protection of, or apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of, any officer, employee, or agent (in such capacity) of the Company for or with respect to acts or omissions of such Person occurring prior to such amendment, modification, supplement or repeal. For the avoidance of doubt, an Officer (in his or her capacity as such) shall have rights of indemnification and advancement under this Section 8.2(b) and not under Section 8.1(b). With respect to Members or their Affiliates acting as Officers or agents of the Company, the intent of this Section 8.2(b) is to provide for indemnification only in their capacity as Officers or agents of the Company, and not with respect to (A) the performance of their covenants and other obligations under this Agreement as a Covered EC Member, Covered Person or otherwise or (B) the performance of their

- 52 -

covenants and other obligations to the Company or any Member under any other Transaction Agreement.

(c) Advance Payment; Indemnification Subject to Termination Based on Final Determination; Success on the Merits. With respect to any Proceeding for which any Person referred to in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) may be entitled to be indemnified under such subsections, subject to (unless such Person is a Member) receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Person to comply with clause (ii) of the proviso in this sentence, the Company shall indemnify, and advance expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) to, such Person in connection with such Proceeding from the time such Proceeding is threatened; provided that in the event that it shall be ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Person was not entitled to indemnification by the Company under such subsection in connection with such Proceeding because it did not meet the applicable standard of conduct required by such subsection, (i) the Company shall terminate such indemnification and advancement of expenses with immediate effect, and (ii) such Person shall promptly repay to the Company the amount of any advanced expenses or other amounts previously paid or reimbursed to or on behalf of it under this Section 8.2. To the extent that any Person referred to in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding referred to in such subsections, such Person shall be deemed automatically to have met, with respect to such Proceeding , the applicable standard of conduct required by such subsection.

(d) Insurance. The Company shall purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was a Covered EC Member or Officer, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, manager, officer, or member or other controlling Person of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, subject to compliance of any such insurance with applicable provisions of the Act.

(e) Not Exclusive. The indemnification provided for in this Section 8.2 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified under this Section 8.2 may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of securityholders or disinterested directors or managers or otherwise, in each case with the approval of the NSAM Designees (to the extent required under Section 5.3), both as to action in their official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a director, manager, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a Person.

(f) Indemnification Agreements. The Company may enter into indemnification agreements with its Covered EC Members providing for the indemnification described in Section 8.2(a) so long as all Covered EC Members are entitled to identical benefits under such agreements.

8.3 Company as Indemnitor. The Company hereby acknowledges that certain Persons entitled to indemnification under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 (each, an “Indemnitee”) may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by Persons other than the Company (any such Persons, a “Primary Indemnitor”). The Members hereby further acknowledge and agree that the Company is the indemnitor of last resort (i.e., its obligations to the Indemnitee are secondary and any obligation of any Primary Indemnitor to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by an Indemnitee is primary). No advancement or payment by the Company on behalf of an Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which the Indemnitee has sought indemnification from a Primary Indemnitor shall affect the foregoing and the Company shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee against the Primary Indemnitor.

(ii) to the setting up of any reserves which the Executive Committee reasonably may deem necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company arising out of or in connection with the Company, subject to approval of the NSAM Designees (so long as the NSAM Designation Threshold is met). Said reserves may be paid over to an escrow agent to be held by it for the purpose of disbursing such reserves in payment of any of the aforementioned contingencies and, at the expiration of such period as the Executive Committee shall deem advisable, subject to approval of the NSAM Designees (so long as the NSAM Designation Threshold is met), to distribute the balance of such reserves to the Members as provided below; and

(iii) thereafter, in accordance with Section 4.1.

(e) No dissolution of the Company shall release or relieve the Members of their obligations under this Agreement.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE MEMBERS

10.1 Mutual Representations and Warranties. Each Member hereby represents and warrants, in each case solely as to itself, to the Company and to each other Member as of the Effective Date as follows:

(a) Authorization. If the Member is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust, estate or other entity: (i) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; and (ii) the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to which it is a party are within its powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary action on its behalf, require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official and do not and will not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or

- 55 -

of its certificate of incorporation or other comparable organizational documents or any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon it. If the Member is an individual, it has all legal capacity and power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to which it is a party, and no other action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official is required in connection therewith, and the execution, delivery and performance by such Member of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreement do not and will not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon such Member. This Agreement and each other Transaction Agreement to which such Member is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Member and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and the application of general principles of equity.

(b) Conflicts. No material consent, authorization, approval, order, license, certificate or permit of or from, or declaration or filing with, any federal, state, local or other governmental authority or any court or other tribunal or any other Person, is required for the execution, delivery and performance by such Member of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement to which it is a party. Neither the execution, delivery and performance by such Member of this Agreement and any other Transaction Agreement to which it is a party (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both) nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby: (i) conflicts with any provision of the organizational documents of such Member (if applicable) or any of its Subsidiaries: (ii) conflicts with, results in a material breach of, or constitutes a material default under any law applicable to such Member or any of its Subsidiaries; or (iii) results in a material breach of or constitutes a material default under or permits any party to terminate, modify, accelerate the performance of or cancel the terms of, any material Contract or other obligation to which such Member or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject.

(c) Legal Proceedings. There are no claims, counter-claims, suits, arbitrations, governmental investigations or other legal, administrative or tax proceedings, nor any orders, decrees or judgments, in progress or pending or, to such Member’s knowledge, threatened that could reasonably be expected to impair such Member’s ability to perform under this Agreement.

(d) Investment Intention. Except as contemplated under the Purchase Agreement, such Member holds or is acquiring its Membership Interests solely for such Member’s own account for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and such Member has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, and such Member is not making and will not make a market in Membership Interests. Except for the Purchase Agreement, such Member does not have any Contract with any Person to Transfer any of its Membership Interests or grant participation in any of its Membership Interests to such Person or to any other Person.

(e) Suitability. Such Member has been advised to engage, and either has engaged or determined after careful consideration not to engage, independent counsel of its choice (whether in-house or external) and any other advisors, including tax advisors, it deems necessary and appropriate. By reason of its business or financial experience, or by reason of the business or financial experience of its own attorneys, accountants and financial advisors (which advisors, attorneys and accountants are not Affiliates of the Company or any other Member), it is capable of evaluating the risks and merits of an investment in the Membership Interest and of protecting its own interests in connection with this investment. Nothing in this Agreement should or may be construed to allow any Member to rely upon the advice of counsel acting for another Member or to create an attorney-client relationship between a Member and counsel for another Member.

(f) Accredited Investor. Such Member is familiar with the definition of “accredited investor” in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act, and it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of that Rule.

(g) Investment Company Act. Such Member is either (i) a “qualified purchaser” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), (ii) a “knowledgeable employee” as defined in Rule 3c-5 promulgated under the Investment Company Act or (iii) a Person owned exclusively by such qualified purchasers or knowledgeable employees.

(h) Not Formed for the Specific Purpose. Such Member either (i) was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring a Membership Interest or (ii) all of its beneficial owners are (A) “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act and (B) either “qualified purchasers within the meaning of Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act or “knowledgeable employees” as defined in Rule 3c-5 promulgated under the Investment Company Act.

(i) ERISA. Such Member is neither a “benefit plan investor” within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, nor is it a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code.

(j) (i) Each Person owning a ten percent (10%) or greater interest in such Member (A) is not currently identified on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury (or any other similar list maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control pursuant to any authorizing statute, executive order or regulation) and (B) is not a Person with whom a citizen of the United States is prohibited to engage in transactions by any trade embargo, economic sanction, or other prohibition of U.S. law, regulation, or executive order of the President of the United States, and (ii) such Member has implemented procedures, and will consistently apply those procedures, to ensure the foregoing representations and warranties remain true and correct at all times. This Section 10.1(j) shall not apply to any Person to the extent that such Person’s interest in such Member is through either (x) a Person (other than an individual) whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange, or quoted on an automated quotation system, in the United States, or a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such a Person or (y) an “employee pension benefit plan” or “pension plan” as defined in Section 3(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

- 57 -

10.2 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Member (a “Member Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries, the other Members and their respective directors, managers, officers, and employees (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) from and against, and to promptly pay to a Company Indemnitee or reimburse a Company Indemnitee for, any and all Losses sustained or incurred by such Company Indemnitee resulting from or arising out of the material breach by such Member Indemnifying Party of any representation or warranty of such Member Indemnifying Party contained in this Article X.

(b) Promptly after receipt by a Company Indemnitee of notice of any Loss for which such Company Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under Section 10.2(a), such Company Indemnitee shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made hereunder, give written notice to the Company and to the applicable Member Indemnifying Party of the Loss; provided, that the failure of any Company Indemnitee to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve such Member Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 10.2, except to the extent that the responsible party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any Proceeding is brought against a Company Indemnitee, the applicable Member Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such Company Indemnitee. A Member Indemnifying Party will not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the consent of the Company Indemnitee, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. The right of any Company Indemnitee to the indemnification provided herein shall be cumulative with, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Indemnified Party may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Company Indemnitee’s successors, assigns and legal representatives.
