accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(bX2)(iv).
(b) If, in the opinion of the General Partner, the manner in which Capital
Accounts are to be maintained pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement should be
modified in order to comply with Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder, then the method by which Capital Accounts are maintained shall
be so modified; provided, however, that any such change shall be done so as to minimize,
to the extent possible, any differences in amounts that would otherwise be distributable to
a Partner.
(c) Each Partner's Capital Account shall have an initial balance equal to the
amount of cash and the value of any securities or other property constituting such
Partner's initial contribution to the capital of the Partnership, as such contribution is set
forth on the Schedule of Partners.
(d) Each Partner's Capital Account shall be increased by the sum of:
(i) the amount of cash and the net value of any securities or other property
constituting additional contributions by such Partner to the capital of the Partnership in
accordance with Section 3.1; plus
(ii) the portion of any Net Profit, income, or gain allocated to such Partner's
Capital Account pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 16.

Partner's Capital Account in an amount equal to the product of (w) the net value of any

EFTA00615458
the capital of the Partnership in accordance with Section 3.1 and Section 3.3(d)(i) and (x)
a fraction, the numerator of which is such Partner's Sharing Percentage immediately after
giving effect to such forfeiture and denominator of which is such Partner's Sharing
Percentage immediately prior to giving effect to such forfeiture, will be forfeited,
reducing such Partner's Capital Account by such amount and will increase the Capital
Account of the Persons who are entitled to receive the forfeiture pursuant to Section 4.1
of the Agreement Among Principals, pro-rata in accordance with their respective Sharing
Percentages and (ii) all credits and debits to the Capital Account of such Partner shall,
from the date of termination of such Partner until the applicable Forfeiture Date (as
defined in the Agreement Among Principals), be computed on a pro-fonna basis
assuming the Sharing Percentage of such forfeiting Partner had been adjusted on the date

that would, but for clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, be debited or credited to the
Capital Account of such Partner shall, on the applicable Forfeiture Date, be debited or
credited to the Capital Account of the Persons who are entitled to receive the forfeiture
pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Agreement Among Principals, pro-rata in accordance with
their respective Sharing Percentages. In addition, to the extent that the Partnership
receives an increased capital account in Intermediate Holdings as a result of a forfeiture
of interests by a partner in such partnership, such increase in the Capital Accounts will be
allocated among the Partners pro rata based on their respective Sharing Percentages at the
effective time of the forfeiture. Within twelve (12) months of a Forfeiture Date, the
forfeiting Partner shall receive a distribution in respect of all cash contributions actually
made to the Partnership (if any) in an amount equal to the product of (y) the amount of
such cash contributions and (z) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Sharing
Percentage forfeited by such Partner, and the denominator of which is such Partner's
Sharing Percentage immediately prior to giving effect to such forfeiture.

income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or any item thereof) for each Accounting Period
NYI:1692185.10 11
EFTA00615459
shall be allocated to and among the Partners in order to reflect the allocations of Net
Profit and Net Loss and other items of income, gain, loss and expenses pursuant to the
provisions of Section 3.4 for such Accounting Period, taking into account any variation
between the adjusted tax basis and book value of Partnership property in accordance with
the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code. The parties hereto agree that any Non-Pro
Rata Exchange shall be treated as a sale of those interests contributed by the Partner who
directed such exchange, and any taxable gain or loss related thereto shall be allocated
solely to such Partner. In addition, the distribution of AOG Units made pursuant to an In-
Kind Exchange Distribution shall be treated as a distribution of an undivided interest in
the Partnership's assets as described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-4(cX6) and
1.737-2(dX4).
(b) If any Partner or Partners are treated for United States federal income tax
purposes as realizing ordinary income because of receiving interests in the Partnership
(whether under Section 83 of the Code or under any similar provision of any law, rule or
regulation) and the Partnership is entitled to any offsetting deduction (net of any income
realized by the Partnership as a result of such receipt), the Partnership's net deduction
shall be allocated to and among the Partners in such manner as to offset, as nearly as
possible, the ordinary income realized by such Partner or Partners.
Section 3.6 Special Allocations.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3 to the contrary:
(a) Losses attributable to partner nonrecourse debt (as defined
in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(bX4)) shall be allocated in the manner required
by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If there is a net decrease during a Accounting
Period in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as determined in accordance with
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(3)), Partnership income and gain for such
Accounting Period (and, if necessary, for subsequent Accounting Periods) shall be
allocated to the Partners in the amounts and of such character as determined according to
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(iX4).
(b) Nonrecourse deductions (as determined according to
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(bX1)) for any Accounting Period shall be allocated
to the Partners in the same proportions in which capital contributions have been made. If
there is a net decrease in the minimum gain during any Accounting Period, each Partner
shall be allocated Partnership income and gain for such Accounting Period (and, if
necessary, for subsequent Accounting Periods) in the amounts and of such character as
determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 3.6(b) is
intended to be a "minimum gain chargeback" provision that complies with the
requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(0, and shall be interpreted in a
manner consistent therewith.
(c) If any Partner that unexpectedly receives an adjustment,
allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-
NYI:1692185.10 12
EFTA00615460
1(bX2XiiXdX4), (5) or (6) has an Capital Account deficit as of the end of any Accounting
Period, computed after the application of Sections 3.6(a) and 3.6(b) but before the
application of any other allocation provision of this Agreement, then Partnership income
and gain for such Accounting Period shall be allocated to such Partner in proportion to,
and to the extent of, such Capital Account deficit. This Section 3.6(c) is intended to be a
"qualified income offset" provision as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-
1(b)(2XiiXd) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.
(d) In no event shall Net Losses be allocated to a Partner if
such allocation would cause or increase a deficit in such Partner's adjusted Capital
Account balance. Any such Net Losses shall be allocated to the other Partners in
proportion to their Ownership Percentages. Income and gain shall be first allocated to
those Partners who have received allocations of Net Loss pursuant to this provision, in
order to reverse such allocations.
(e) The allocations set forth in Sections 3.6(a) through 3.6(d)
(the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of
Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the Treasury Regulations. The Regulatory
Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Partners intend to
allocate Net Profits and Net Losses of the Partnership or make distributions from the
Partnership. Accordingly, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, but
subject to the Regulatory Allocations, income, gain, deduction, and loss shall be
reallocated among the Partners so as to eliminate the effect of the Regulatory Allocations
and thereby cause the respective Capital Accounts of the Partners to be in the amounts (or
as close thereto as possible) they would have been if Net Profit and Net Loss (and such
other items of income, gain, deduction and loss) had been allocated without reference to
the Regulatory Allocations. In general, the Partners anticipate that this will be
accomplished by specially allocating other Net Profit and Net Loss (and such other items
of income, gain, deduction and loss) among the Partners so that the net amount of the
Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each such Partner is zero.
ARTICLE 4
DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 4.1 Distributions
(a) The Partnership shall establish and maintain a ledger account on behalf of
each Partner (each a "Distribution Account'), in each case, in accordance with this
Section 4.1. Distribution Accounts shall be adjusted as provided in the Agreement
Among Principals.
(b) Subject to the retention of cash reserves to account for reasonably
anticipated expenses and other liabilities as the General Partner may determine to be
appropriate, the Partnership shall make distributions to the Partners promptly upon receipt
of any cash distributions from the Apollo Operating Group or Intermediate Holdings.
Such distributions shall be made in cash, without interest.
NY1:1692185.10 13
EFTA00615461
(c) The net proceeds (including any payments received by Holdings pursuant
to the Tax Receivable Agreement) of any (i) Pro Rata Exchange shall be distributed to the
Partners in accordance with their respective Sharing Percentages, (ii) Non-Pro Rata
Exchange shall be distributed entirely to the Partner(s) that directed such Non-Pro Rata
Exchange, (iii) other distribution to the Partnership which has properly been reflected in
the Distribution Account pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be distributed to the Partners
in proportion to (and not in excess of) any credit balance in their respective Distribution
Accounts and (iv) other distribution (other than a distribution of Heritage Points) shall be
distributed to the Principal Groups in accordance with their respective Sharing
Percentages (it being understood that any expenses incurred in connection with any sale
shall be borne by the Principals directing such sale in proportion to the number of AOG
Units being sold by such Principals). In the event that the Partnership distributes the
partnership interests represented by the Heritage Points to the Partners, it shall distribute
such partnership interests in accordance with Heritage Points Percentages. If, pursuant to
Section 3.03 of the Tax Receivable Agreement, there is a prorated payment made, in any
year, to the Partnership (either directly or indirectly through Intermediate Holdings), then
the Partners will receive portions of such reduced payment, pro rata, based upon the
relative Basis Adjustments (as such term is used in the Tax Receivable Agreement)
attributable to each of the Partners by reason of their participation in the relevant
Exchanges.
Section 4.2 Withholding of Certain Amounts
(a) If the Partnership incurs a withholding tax or other tax obligation with respect
to the share of Partnership income allocable to any Partner, then the General Partner,
without limitation of any other rights of the Partnership, may cause the amount of such
obligation to be debited against the Capital Account of such Partner when the Partnership
pays such obligation, and any amounts then or thereafter distributable to such Partner
shall be reduced by the amount of such taxes. If the amount of such taxes is greater than
any such then distributable amounts, then such Partner and any successor to such
Partner's interest shall indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership and the General
Partner against, and shall pay to the Partnership as a contribution to the capital of the
Partnership, upon demand of the General Partner, the amount of such excess.
(b) The General Partner may withhold from any distribution to any Limited
Partner pursuant to this Agreement any other amounts due from such Limited Partner to
the Partnership or the General Partner pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not
otherwise paid. My amounts s
