the extent that the Principals or Holdings participate in any such management fee
waiver program, the Principals shall be entitled to indirectly participate in accordance
with their respective Sharing Percentages, (ii) if there is any limitation on the amount
of investment pursuant to any such management fee waiver program, the amount
available to the Principals shall be allocated among the Principals in accordance with
their respective Sharing Percentages, and (iii) to the extent that participation by the
Principals or Holdings in any such management fee waiver program has an adverse
economic impact on any non-participating Principal or the unitholders of Apollo
generally, the Executive Committee must approve such participation by unanimous
consent. The Executive Committee shall initially determine whether any "adverse
economic impact" referred to in clause (iii) above will occur, but any Principal may
dispute such determination.
(e) The Executive Committee will determine whether and to
what extent any entity or investment professional (including the Principals) may invest
in the Funds on terms more favorable than those offered to third party investors. If the
Executive Committee permits any Principal to invest on terms more favorable than
those offered to third party investors, it will permit all Continuing Principals and
Principal Groups to do so, and if any limit is imposed upon the amounts that may be
invested on more favorable terms then such amount shall be allocated among the
Continuing Principals and PrincipaLGroups in accordance with their respective
Sharing Percentages.
