BARROW, HANLEY, XXXXXXXXX & XXXXXXX, LLC

This Limited Liability Company Agreement (this “Agreement”), effective as of January 12, 2010, is entered into by and among Old Mutual Intermediary (BHMS), LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of OM(US)H (defined below) (together with its permitted successors or assigns, “Old Mutual Intermediary”) and the Persons listed in the books and records of the LLC (as defined below), each (for such period of time as it shall remain a Member hereunder) referred to (subject to Section 9 hereof) individually as a “Member” and collectively as the “Members”.

WHEREAS, Barrow, Hanley, Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, LLC (the “LLC”) has been formed pursuant to the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, as amended from time to time (the “Act”), by the filing on December 17, 2009 of a Certificate of Formation (as such Certificate may be amended from time to time, the “Certificate of Formation”) in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware;

WHEREAS, the LLC intends to establish the Barrow, Hanley, Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, LLC Equity Plan (the “Equity Plan”) jointly with Old Mutual (US) Holdings Inc. (“OM(US)H”), Old Mutual Intermediary and BHMS Investment Holdings LP (the “Partnership”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Equity Plan, the LLC shall issue LLC Interests to certain employees of the LLC and, following such issuances, such employees may contribute (each, a “Contribution”) such LLC Interests to the Partnership in consideration for limited partnership interests in the Partnership (the “LP Interests”);

WHEREAS, following the Contributions, the employees of the LLC making the Contributions shall be Limited Partners of the Partnership, and the Partnership shall have the Percentage Interest in the LLC as set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, following the date hereof, but prior to the effective date of the initial Contributions, the Partnership will execute a joinder to this Agreement and become a Member of the LLC; and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein, and not otherwise defined herein, have the meanings ascribed to them in Appendix I annexed hereto, incorporated herein and made a part hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein expressed, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Formation.

(a) Formation. The Members hereby agree that the rights, duties and liabilities of the Members shall be as provided in the Act, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The

existence of the LLC as a separate legal entity shall continue until cancellation of the Certificate of Formation as provided in the Act.

(b) Certification of Formation, Etc. The Members hereby ratify the formation of the LLC as a limited liability company under the Delaware Act, the execution of the Certificate of Formation by the signatory thereto as an “authorized person” of the LLC within the meaning of the Delaware Act, and the filing of the Certificate of Formation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Board of Managers is hereby authorized to execute, file and record, and to authorize any person to execute, file and record, all such other certificates and documents, including amendments to the Certificate of Formation, and to do such other acts as may be appropriate to comply with all requirements for the formation, continuation and operation of a limited liability company, the ownership of property, and the conduct of business under the Laws of the State of Delaware and any other jurisdiction in which the LLC may own property or conduct business.

(c) Principal Office; Registered Office and Registered Agent. The principal office of the LLC is JPMorgan Chase Tower, 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000. The name and address of the registered agent of the LLC for service of process pursuant to the Act is Corporation Service Company, and the LLC’s registered office in the State of Delaware is 0000 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000. The Board of Managers may, upon compliance with the applicable provisions of the Act, change the LLC’s principal office, its registered office or registered agent from time to time, all as determined by the Board of Managers. The Board of Managers may establish additional places of business of the LLC, within and without the State of Delaware, as and when required by the business of the LLC and in furtherance of its purposes set forth in Section 2 hereof and may appoint agents for service of process in all other jurisdictions in which the LLC shall conduct business.

2. Purpose. The LLC is formed for the purpose of engaging in any lawful act or activity for which limited liability companies may be formed under the Act and engaging in any and all activities necessary, advisable, convenient or incidental thereto, including without limitation, providing investment advisory services. The LLC shall have all the powers necessary or convenient to carry out the purposes for which it is formed, including without limitation the powers granted by the Act. Accordingly, the LLC is vested with the power (i) to xxx and be sued in its own name, (ii) to contract and be contracted with in its own name and (iii) to acquire and hold real property and personal property for the purposes for which the LLC is established and to dispose of the real property and personal property at its pleasure.

3. Management.

(a) Authority of Board of Managers. Except as otherwise required by the Act or other applicable law or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Board of Managers shall have the authority to (i) exercise all the powers and privileges granted to a limited liability company by the Act or any other law or this Agreement, together with any powers incidental thereto, so far as such powers are necessary or convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business, trade, purposes or activities of the LLC in the State of Delaware or in any other jurisdiction in which the LLC shall conduct business and (ii) take any other action not prohibited under the Act or other applicable law or this Agreement; and, except as otherwise

provided in this Agreement, no Member acting in its capacity as a Member shall have any authority, power or privilege to act on behalf of or to bind the LLC.

(b) Designation and Removal of Managers. The LLC shall, at this time, have four managers (each, a “Manager”); provided, however, that no person who is a Member may also serve as a Manager. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Board of Managers” shall mean the Managers of the LLC in the aggregate acting as the governing body of the LLC. The Board of Managers may appoint from its members a Chairman who shall serve in such capacity until such time as a successor is elected and qualified, or until such Chairman’s earlier death, resignation or removal. If the Board of Managers appoints a Chairman, such Chairman shall perform such duties and possess such powers as are assigned by the Board of Managers. Subject to the proviso in the first sentence of this Section 3(b) and to the paragraph immediately following Section 3(b)(iii), the Managers of the LLC shall be designated as follows:

(i) Two Managers (each, an “OM(US)H Manager”) shall be (x) the chief executive officer of OM(US)H or such other individual as is designated by the chief executive officer of OM(US)H, which Manager shall initially be Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx and (y) Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx or such other individual as is designated by the chief executive officer of OM(US)H.

(ii) Two Managers (the “Additional Managers”) shall be Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Xx.

(iii) The initial Chairman of the Board of Managers shall be Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx.

Any changes in the number of Managers, any removal and replacement of any Managers and any additional Managers and the filling of any vacancies may be proposed at any time by the Board of Managers, the president or chief executive officer (or officer having responsibility commensurate with the title of chief executive officer) of the LLC (the “Chief Executive Officer of the LLC”), or by Old Mutual Intermediary. Any such actions shall be made only by Old Mutual Intermediary in its sole discretion. If at any time there is no Manager, the number of Managers may be determined and one or more Managers may be designated by Old Mutual Intermediary in its sole discretion. Any Manager may resign from, retire from, abandon or otherwise terminate his, her or its status as a Manager upon prior written notice to the LLC.

(i) Subject to Section 3(j) hereof, all decisions or actions to be made or taken by the Board of Managers shall (i) require the “Consent of the Board of Managers,” which shall mean the affirmative vote of a majority in number of all Managers, present in person or by proxy, and shall include the affirmative vote of at least one of the OM(US)H Managers, present in person or by proxy; and (ii) be consistent with the then-current Approved Budget. The LLC and the Board of Managers shall be subject to and operate pursuant to the Old Mutual Scheme of Authority (or any successor) as applied to the LLC (a copy of which has been delivered to the each member of the Board of Managers with the requirement that each Manager agree to maintain the confidentiality thereof), as amended from time to time in Old Mutual Intermediary’s

sole discretion (which amendments shall be promptly provided to the Board of Managers from time to time) (the “Scheme of Authority”), except to the extent that the provisions of the Scheme of Authority contradict the provisions herein. Subject to the Scheme of Authority and Section 3(j) hereof, the LLC and the Board of Managers shall have day-to-day operational independence within the Approved Budget and shall have control over the investment philosophy, investment processes and client relationships of the LLC. The Board of Managers shall operate in accordance with the meeting procedures set forth in Appendix II annexed hereto, incorporated herein and made a part hereof.

(ii) Any member of the Board of Managers, the Remuneration Committee, the Distribution Committee or any other committee authorized by the Board of Managers may, by a writing, grant a proxy to any other member of the Board of Managers or such committee, as the case may be, permitting such other member to vote in approval of any matter within the scope of such proxy; provided that if any of the OM(US)H Managers serves on a committee, such OM(US)H Manager may grant such proxy to any other member of the Board of Managers irrespective of whether such member serves on such committee.

(d) Transactions with Affiliates. Subject to Sections 3(j) and 6(d) and the second sentence of Section 3(d) hereof, the Board of Managers may cause the LLC to enter into one or more agreements, leases, loans, contracts or other arrangements with respect to furnishing or receiving goods, services, debt financing or real estate with any Member, any Manager or an Affiliate thereof, and may pay compensation thereunder for such goods, services, debt financing or real estate, provided, however, that in each case the Board of Managers has determined in good faith, and the Board of Managers reasonably believed, that the terms of any such arrangements are in or not opposed to the best interests of the LLC. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Sections 3(j) and 6(d), the LLC may, without the Consent of the Board of Managers, enter into one or more agreements, leases, loans, contracts or other arrangements with respect to furnishing or receiving goods, services, debt financing or real estate with OM(US)H, or an Affiliate of OM(US)H in the ordinary course of business, provided, however, that the terms of any such arrangements are no less favorable to the LLC than the terms of such arrangements with a party that is not affiliated with any Member, Manager or an Affiliate thereof, and the LLC has provided prior written notice of such arrangement to Old Mutual Intermediary.

(e) Power of Officers to Bind the LLC. The Chief Executive Officer of the LLC shall have the authority to sign agreements, contracts, instruments or other documents in the name of and on behalf of the LLC, as shall be determined by the Board of Managers. The Board of Managers may authorize any other Person to sign agreements, contracts, instruments or other documents in the name of and on behalf of the LLC, and such authority may be general or limited to specific instances.

(f) Appointment and Removal of Officers and Other Agents. Subject to Section 3(j) hereof, the Board of Managers may appoint one or more individuals as agents of the LLC with, in each case, such title, duties, power and authority as the Board of Managers shall determine from time to time, and such agents may be referred to as officers of the LLC; provided, however, that no such appointment by the Board of Managers by itself shall cause any Manager to cease to

be a “manager” of the LLC within the meaning of the Act or this Agreement or restrict the ability of the Board of Managers to exercise the powers so delegated. The power and authority of any agent appointed by the Board of Managers under this Section 3(f) shall not exceed the power and authority possessed by the Board of Managers under this Agreement and shall be exercised subject to all separate consent rights of Old Mutual Intermediary under this Agreement. Unless the authority of the agent designated as the officer in question is limited in the document appointing such officer or is otherwise specified by the Board of Managers, any officer so appointed shall have the same authority to act for the LLC as a corresponding officer of a Delaware corporation would typically have to act for a Delaware corporation in the absence of a specific delegation of authority.

Consistent with the foregoing, the following individuals are hereby confirmed to be the current officers of the LLC holding the following titles:

Name		Title
Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx		President, Treasurer and Secretary
Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx		Chief Compliance Officer

Employees with the title of “partner” shall be deemed to have officer-equivalent status. The officers of the LLC shall hold office until their successors are duly appointed or their earlier death, resignation or removal. Any officer so appointed may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the Consent of the Board of Managers. Any officer may resign from his or her office upon prior written notice to the LLC. If any office shall become vacant, a replacement officer may be appointed by the Consent of the Board of Managers. None of the officers of the LLC need be a Manager. Two or more offices may be held by the same person. The remuneration of all officers of the LLC may be fixed by the Remuneration Committee. The Board of Managers may in the future name other officers of the LLC, having powers commensurate with such title or such powers and duties as they shall determine.

The Chief Executive Officer of the LLC shall report directly to such person designated by Old Mutual Intermediary in its sole discretion, which shall initially be the Chief Executive Officer of OM(US)H.

(g) Committees of the Board of Managers. Other than any committee required to be established by the Scheme of Authority (currently the Distribution Committee and the Remuneration Committee), the Board of Managers may, in its discretion and in accordance with the Scheme of Authority, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the Managers or other Persons and which shall have and may exercise, except as may be otherwise limited by law, such delegable powers and authority as shall be conferred or authorized by Consent of the Board of Managers. The power and authority of any committee designated by the Board of Managers under this Section 3(g) shall not exceed the power and authority possessed by the Board of Managers under this Agreement and shall be exercised subject to all separate consent rights of Old Mutual Intermediary under this Agreement. Such committees shall operate in accordance with the meeting procedures set forth in Appendix II.

(h) Distribution and Remuneration Committees. In accordance with Section 3(g) hereof and as required by the Scheme of Authority, the Board of Managers hereby designates a Distribution Committee and a Remuneration Committee as hereinafter provided, and delegates to such committees the powers and authority set forth below:

(i) The Distribution Committee shall be comprised solely of one or more OM(US)H Managers or their designees. If there is at any time no OM(US)H Manager, then the Distribution Committee shall be comprised solely of the then Chief Executive Officer of OM(US)H or any designee of the Chief Executive Officer of OM(US)H. Initially the Distribution Committee is comprised of Chief Executive Officer of OM(US)H. The Distribution Committee will determine the amount and timing of distributions by the LLC subject to the terms of this Agreement and applicable law and after consultation with the Board of Managers. In its decisions, the Distribution Committee shall have regard to the distribution policy of the LLC (the “Distribution Policy”), the short-term working capital requirements of the LLC, regulatory requirements and any expenditures contemplated by the LLC’s Approved Budget; provided, however, that the Distribution Committee shall not have the authority to delay or withhold any distribution contemplated by Section 6(c) hereof.

(ii) The Remuneration Committee shall be comprised of two or more Managers, at least one of whom shall at all times be an OM(US)H Manager or his or her designee and one of whom shall generally be Additional Managers, subject to Section 3(b). If there is at any time no OM(US)H Manager or designee thereof, the then Chief Executive Officer of OM(US)H or any designee of the Chief Executive Officer of OM(US)H shall be one of the members of the Remuneration Committee. Initially, the Remuneration Committee is comprised of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Xx. The Remuneration Committee shall be responsible for determining all compensation-related matters, including without limitation: (A) the setting of salaries, (B) the allocation of bonuses and certain other payments to employees of the LLC from time to time, (C) the allocation of any long term compensation, including LLC Interests to any employee of the LLC, (D) the division of total compensation between elements (A) and (B) and (C) for each employee and (E) all matters for which the Remuneration Committee makes determinations or exercises discretion as provided in this Agreement, the Agreement of Limited Partnership, the Equity Plan, each as amended from time to time, and any employment or consulting agreement between the LLC and a Limited Partner. The Remuneration Committee decision-making shall be by majority vote of the members of the Remuneration Committee, provided, however, that the Chief Executive Officer of OM(US)H will review all proposed determinations and decisions and will have the power, in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer of OM(US)H (and not in his capacity as a member of the Remuneration Committee, if applicable), to require that the proposed determination be revised or decision reversed. In such event the Remuneration Committee shall submit a new proposed determination or decision until the same is acceptable to the Chief Executive Officer of OM(US)H; provided, however, if no agreement is reached within thirty (30) days of the submission of the first revised proposed determination or decision, then the dispute will be referred to the appropriate committee of the Board of Directors of OM(US)H, currently the Business Review Committee of the Board of Directors of OM(US)H, or the Oversight Committee of

OM(US)H, as determined by OM(US)H from time to time in its sole discretion. Any decision of such committee of the Board of Directors of OM(US)H or the Oversight Committee of OM(US)H shall be final, binding and conclusive with respect to the LLC, the Board of Managers and the Members. The Remuneration Committee shall meet at least annually and prior to the time of any Trading Window.

(iii) A designee appointed by an OM(US)H Manager pursuant to this Section 3(h) need not be a Manager of the Company.

(i) Standard of Care for Managers. Each Manager shall be entitled to rely, in the performance of his or her duties, on information, opinions, reports or statements, including financial statements, in each case prepared by one or more agents or employees, counsel, certified public accountants or other Persons employed by the LLC, as to matters that such Manager believes to be within such Persons’ special competence.

(j) Actions Requiring Consent of Old Mutual Intermediary. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Board of Managers covenants and agrees that it shall not take any of the following actions without the prior written consent of Old Mutual Intermediary:

If approved by the Board of Managers, such proposed budget and business plan shall be submitted by the Chief Executive Officer of the LLC to OM(US)H for final approval. If OM(US)H notifies the Chief Executive Officer of the LLC of any objection(s) to the proposed budget and business plan, the Chief Executive Officer of the LLC shall revise and resubmit such proposed budget and business plan to the Board of Managers, and, if then approved by the Board of Managers, such proposed budget and business plan shall be resubmitted by the Chief Executive Officer of the LLC to OM(US)H. The same procedures for approval, objection, revision and resubmission shall be applicable until final approval of a proposed budget and business plan by OM(US)H; provided, however, that if such final approval is not obtained, the budget and business plan then in effect will continue.

(a) Capital of Members. The Capital Contributions that each Member has made to the LLC on or before the date of this Agreement or at anytime hereafter shall be properly reflected on the books and records of the LLC.

(b) Additional Capital. No Member shall be obligated to contribute any additional capital to the LLC. In the event that the Board of Managers determines that the LLC requires additional working capital, the Board of Managers may seek to obtain such additional working capital by voluntary contribution from Old Mutual Intermediary (which, if so contributed, shall be an “Additional Capital Contribution”). Additional Capital Contributions shall be repaid in accordance with Section 6(a)(iii), except to the extent that Old Mutual Intermediary and the Board of Managers otherwise agree in writing. In the event the OMFN Payment in any calendar year should be in excess of the distributions otherwise payable to Old Mutual Intermediary under Sections 6(a)(ii) and (iv), then Old Mutual Intermediary shall make a capital contribution to the LLC in the amount of such difference (the “Loan Contribution”); provided, however, that such capital contribution shall not be deemed to be an “Additional Capital Contribution” under this Agreement.

(c) Capital Accounts. A separate capital account (each, a “Capital Account”) will be maintained for each Member in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Consistent therewith, the Capital Account of each Member will be determined and adjusted as follows:

(i) Each Member’s Capital Account will be increased by:

(A) Any Capital Contributions consisting of cash made by such Member plus the Book Basis of any Capital Contributions consisting of property made by such Member (net of any liabilities to which such property is subject or which are assumed by the LLC);

(B) The Member’s distributive share of Profits and other items of income or gain; and

(ii) Each Member’s Capital Account will be decreased by:

(A) Any distributions of cash made from the LLC to such Member plus the fair market value of any property distributed in kind to such Member (net of any liabilities to which such property is subject or which are assumed by such Member);

(B) The Member’s distributive share of Losses and other items of expense, deduction or loss; and

(iii) In determining the amount of any liability for purposes of subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, there shall be taken into account Section 752(c) of the Code and any other applicable provisions of the Code and Treasury Regulations.

(d) Admission of Additional Members; Adjustments to Old Mutual Intermediary’s Percentage Interest. Subject to any restrictions or other applicable procedures imposed by Sections 3(j) and 8 hereof, additional members may be admitted to the LLC on such terms and conditions as may be specified by the Board of Managers (or in the case of an issuance or transfer of LLC Interests pursuant to the Equity Plan, by the Remuneration Committee), including agreeing to certain non-solicitation covenants. Prior to admission of any employee of the LLC as a Member of the LLC or the issuance or Transfer of additional LLC Interests to an employee of the LLC that is an existing Member of the LLC, each such proposed Member shall be required to execute (i) a Subscription Agreement, (ii) if applicable, an Instrument of Transfer and/or (iii) any other agreements, documents or instruments specified by the Board of Managers or OM(US)H in their respective sole discretion. In connection with any such admission, including any admission due to a Transfer of all or part of an LLC Interest under Section 8 hereof, the Board of Managers shall amend the books and records of the LLC to reflect the inclusion of the additional Member(s) and shall notify the other Members of such admission in writing. Following the award of an LLC Interest pursuant to the Equity Plan (including awards to an employee who is already a Member), subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 of the Equity Plan, the Percentage Interest of Old Mutual Intermediary and corresponding number of Units shown on the books and records of the LLC shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Percentage Interest and corresponding number of Units assigned to such awarded LLC Interest. To the extent that an LLC Interest is forfeited pursuant to the Equity Plan, subject to the provisions of Section 4.5(c) of the Equity Plan, the Percentage Interest or Old Mutual Intermediary and corresponding number of Units shall be increased by the Percentage Interest and corresponding number of Units represented by the forfeited portion of such LLC Interest.

(e) No Rights of Creditors. Nothing contained herein will, or is intended to or will be deemed to, benefit any creditor of the LLC or any creditor of any Member, and no such creditor will have any rights, interests or claims hereunder, be entitled to any benefits hereunder or be entitled to require the LLC, any Manager or any Member to demand, solicit or accept any loan, advance or additional Capital Contribution for or to the LLC or to enforce any right which the LLC or any Member may have against any other Member or which any Member may have against the LLC, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

(f) Voting Rights of the Members. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and except as provided in Section 18(b), no Member, other than Old Mutual Intermediary (or its transferee in the event Old Mutual Intermediary transfers all of its LLC Interests pursuant to Section 8(a)), shall have the right to vote on any matter under this Agreement or the Act, including, with respect to any merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer or continuance of the LLC.

(g) Resignations, Etc. Upon payment of the purchase price by any purchaser to a Member who is an employee of the LLC (or a transferee of an employee of the LLC as permitted under this Agreement and the Equity Plan) in accordance with this Agreement and the Equity Plan for all LLC Interests held by such Member, such Member: (i) shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the LLC; (ii) shall cease to be a Member of the LLC; and (iii) shall no longer have any rights hereunder; provided that such Member shall continue to be bound as set forth in Section 18(g). Upon the resignation or withdrawal from the LLC by any other Member with the prior written consent of OM(US)H in its sole discretion, such Member: (i) shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the LLC; (ii) shall cease to be a Member of the LLC; and (iii) shall no longer have any rights hereunder; provided that such Member shall continue to be bound as set forth in Section 18(g). Except as provided in this Section 4(g), no Member may resign or withdraw from the LLC prior to the termination of the LLC pursuant to Section 13 without the prior written consent of OM(US)H in its sole discretion.

(h) No Interest. No interest shall accrue or be paid on any Capital Contribution made to the LLC.

5. Return of Contributions. No Member shall have the right to withdraw or to be repaid any capital contributed by it or to receive any other payment in respect of such Member’s LLC Interest, including without limitation as a result of the withdrawal or resignation of such Member from the LLC, except as specifically provided in Section 6 hereof.

6. Distributions.

(a) In General. Subject to Sections 4(b), 6(c), 6(d), 6(e), 6(f) and 6(g) hereof, all distributions (other than distributions on liquidation of the LLC) shall be made to the Members, at such times and in such aggregate amounts as determined by the Distribution Committee, as follows:

(i) First, to Old Mutual Intermediary in an amount equal to its Unpaid ACC Return;

(ii) Second, to Old Mutual Intermediary until it has received pursuant to this Section 6(a)(ii) an amount equal to the Old Mutual Intermediary Income Preference; provided that the distribution to Old Mutual Intermediary under this Section 6(a)(ii) shall be reduced by the amount of the OMFN Payment;

(iii) Third, to Old Mutual Intermediary to the extent of any Additional Capital Contributions not previously distributed to it pursuant to this Section 6(a)(iii); and

(iv) Thereafter, to the Members generally in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests and in accordance with the Distribution Policy; provided that the distribution to Old Mutual Intermediary under this Section 6(a)(iv) shall be reduced by the amount by which the OMFN Payment exceeds the Old Mutual Intermediary Preference.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no distribution shall be made to any Member (A) if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Act or other applicable law, (B) to the extent that the Distribution Committee determines in good faith that such distributions, if made, would cause the LLC (or any Affiliate of the LLC) to be or remain in default, violate or lose rights or benefits, under any material agreement with a third party or (C) to the extent that the amount of cash remaining at the LLC following such distribution would not be sufficient to satisfy working capital requirements, regulatory requirements, foreseeable claims and financial obligations of the LLC and other short-term cash needs of the LLC.

In the event that the cumulative distribution to Old Mutual Intermediary under Section 6(a)(ii) with regard to any calendar year (but determined without the reduction relating to the OMFN Payment described in the proviso in that Section) is less than $25 million, then all amounts that the LLC would otherwise distribute to Members other than Old Mutual Intermediary under this Agreement and the Distribution Policy thereafter shall be distributed to Old Mutual Intermediary until such time as Old Mutual Intermediary has received an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount of such shortfall and (B) the cumulative amount distributed to the Members other than Old Mutual Intermediary in respect of such calendar year.

(b) Distributions upon Liquidation. In the event of the dissolution and liquidation of the LLC pursuant to Section 13 hereof, the net cash proceeds and/or other assets of the LLC available for distribution after satisfaction of the liabilities of the LLC in accordance with Section 13(e) shall be distributed among the Members in proportion to their respective positive Capital Account balances.

(c) Tax Distributions. Tax distributions shall be made not less often than quarterly to each Member at the times (other than at the time of a Terminating Capital Event) necessary to provide the Members with sufficient minimum cash distributions to pay an amount equal to their quarterly estimated (and final annual) tax liabilities for all taxable periods directly related to taxable income (in excess of losses allocated to such Member for all prior periods) reportable by such Member as set forth on U.S. Schedule K-1 with respect to such Member’s interest in the LLC (including with respect to any year in which such Member sold its interest, whether during

or after employment); provided, however, that each of the foregoing amounts shall be determined, in the case of a Member that is itself a pass-through entity, as if the equity owners of such Member were themselves Members of the LLC; and, provided, further, that the amount of such distributions shall be computed assuming the highest combined federal and state individual income tax rate in Texas and assuming (unless federal tax law is amended to provide otherwise) state taxes are deductible federally (such distributions, “Tax Distributions”) and shall take into account any amounts withheld and remitted to any tax authority by the LLC pursuant to any Withholding Tax Act as described in Section 7(k). Tax Distributions shall also be made within 30 days after the receipt of a final assessment with respect to any federal or state income tax audit of the LLC’s income tax returns. Tax Distributions shall be treated as advances of distributions that would otherwise be made in the absence of provisions of this Section 6(c), and distributions made pursuant to Section 6(a) shall be taken into account in determining the amount to be distributed pursuant hereto. If, following the end of any Fiscal Year, the LLC determines that it has made Tax Distributions to a Member that exceed the amount of distributions that would otherwise have been made to such Member with respect to such Fiscal Year in the absence of this Section 6(c), the LLC shall be authorized to recover such excess amount by reducing future distributions to such Member; provided, however, that the LLC shall retain the right, exercisable in its discretion, to recover any unpaid portion of such excess amount directly from such Member (or former Member). For the avoidance of doubt, it is the meaning and intention of this Section 6(c) that Tax Distributions shall fully and timely fund the federal and state income tax liability attributable to any taxable income (in excess of losses allocated to a Member for all prior periods) reportable by a Member as set forth on U.S. Schedule K-1 with respect to such Member’s LLC Interest (or, if such Member is itself a pass-through entity, the equity owners thereof), and, to the extent that Tax Distributions do not fully achieve this result, the LLC shall use reasonable efforts to accelerate or increase Tax Distributions accordingly, including, if reasonably practicable, following the occurrence of a Terminating Capital Event if the timing of the winding up and dissolution of the LLC following such Terminating Capital Event is such that income tax liability on amounts to be distributed on account thereof must be paid by the Members in the interim, and provided, however, that it shall not be deemed reasonable for the LLC to accelerate or increase Tax Distributions in the event that doing so would result in the LLC’s failing to have reasonable working capital reserves or would cause the LLC not to be in compliance with regulatory requirements, although in any such event the LLC would use reasonable efforts to borrow the funds necessary to accelerate or increase such Tax Distributions so as to fully and timely fund the federal and state income tax liabilities of the Members (or the equity owners of Members that are themselves pass-through entities).

(d) Credit Agreements with OM(US)H.

(i) Old Mutual Intermediary may, in its sole discretion, cause the LLC, as the lender, to enter into a revolving credit loan agreement, in a form provided by OM(US)H, with OM(US)H, as the borrower, in an amount approximately equal to the LLC’s excess cash for the Fiscal Year that is not distributed to Members pursuant to the Distribution Policy at an interest rate and on such other terms as determined by OM(US)H in its sole discretion. Prior to the end of the Fiscal Year, the Chief Executive Officer of the LLC shall determine the LLC’s cash requirements through the end of the Fiscal Year and shall notify OM(US)H in writing of such cash requirements.

(ii) OM(US)H, as the lender, in its sole discretion may loan to the LLC, as the borrower, pursuant to a revolving credit loan agreement, in a form provided by OM(US)H, such amounts as may from time to time be requested by the Board of Managers and approved by OM(US)H, in OM(US)H’s sole and absolute discretion, for such purposes as may be mutually agreed by OM(US)H and the LLC, at an interest rate equal to the interest rate of the revolving credit agreement referenced in Section 6(d)(i) and on such other terms as determined by OM(US)H in its sole discretion.

(iii) The LLC has no obligation to enter into any loan agreement with any Member other than as provided in this Section 6(d). The LLC may enter into loan agreements with OM(US)H as provided in this Section 6(d) without the consent of any Manager or Member other than Old Mutual Intermediary.

(e) Special Distribution in Respect of LLC Interests. If for any Fiscal Year an LLC

Interest has been awarded to one or more employees of the LLC pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Equity Plan, the LLC shall distribute to Old Mutual Intermediary an amount equal to the aggregate of the Participant Interest Values (as defined in the Equity Plan) of all such LLC Interests awarded for such Fiscal Year as of the dates they were awarded; provided, however that any such distribution shall be reduced, but not below zero, by the amount previously distributed to Old Mutual Intermediary under this Section 6(e) on account of the issuance of LLC Interests subsequently forfeited pursuant to Section 4.5 of the Equity Plan (and not already taken into account under this Section 6(e)), and the unapplied balance of any such previous distributions to Old Mutual Intermediary shall be carried forward to subsequent Fiscal Years for application in accordance with the terms of this Section 6(e).

(f) LLC Interests Held During Portion of Taxable Year. Distributions to Members pursuant to Sections 6(a) and 6(c) with respect to any period or periods shall take account of the Members’ varying LLC Interests during such period or periods in accordance with the Distribution Policy.

(g) Special Distributions to Old Mutual Intermediary. Upon a determination by the Remuneration Committee to pay a portion of compensation to any employee of the LLC with publicly-traded shares of Old Mutual plc (“Compensatory Property”), the LLC will distribute to Old Mutual Intermediary at issuance an amount equal to the value, as of the time of the issuance, of such employee’s shares of such Compensatory Property; provided that such distribution shall be reduced, but not below zero, by the amount previously distributed to Old Mutual Intermediary under this Section 6(g) on account of the issuance of Compensatory Property subsequently forfeited pursuant to the forfeiture provisions of the Old Mutual plc Group Share Incentive Scheme (and not already taken into account under this Section 6(g)). For purposes of this Section 6(g), publicly-traded shares of Old Mutual plc issued pursuant to the Old Mutual Restricted Share Plan shall constitute Compensatory Property.

(h) Distributions Upon a Change in Control. Upon a Change in Control of the LLC (as defined in the Equity Plan as a “Change in Control of the Company”), the vested and

unvested LLC Interests held directly by Participants (as defined in the Equity Plan) or by the Partnership shall be redeemed or purchased in accordance with Section 8.3 of the Equity Plan.

(iv) Limitation on Allocation of Recourse Losses. No allocation of any items of loss or deduction shall be made to a Member if, as a result of such allocation, such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.

(v) Qualified Income Offset. Any Member who unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) which causes or increases an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in such Member’s Capital Account shall be allocated items of income and gain sufficient to eliminate such increase or Adjusted Capital Account Deficit caused thereby, as quickly as possible, to the extent required by such Treasury Regulation.

(vi) Distributions of Nonrecourse Liability Proceeds. If, during a taxable year, the LLC makes a distribution to any Member that is allocable to the proceeds of any nonrecourse liability of the LLC that is allocable to an increase in LLC Minimum Gain pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(h), then the LLC shall elect, to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(h)(3), to treat such distribution as a distribution that is not allocable to an increase in LLC Minimum Gain.

(vii) Compliance with Code Section 704(b). The allocation provisions contained in this Section 7 are intended to comply with Code Section 704(b) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.

(e) Tax Allocations. Items of income, gain, deduction and loss for purposes of

determining the Members’ Capital Accounts (that is, for “book purposes”) shall be determined in accordance with the same principles as such items are determined for reporting such items on the LLC’s federal income tax return. All items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit for tax purposes shall be determined in accordance with the Code and, except to the extent otherwise required by the Code, allocated to and among the Members in the same percentages in which the Members share in such items for book purposes.

(f) Certain Allocations with Respect to Contributed Property. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, items of depreciation, amortization, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the LLC shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the LLC for federal income tax purposes and its initial book value, such allocation to be made by the Distribution Committee in its sole discretion in accordance with any method permitted by the applicable Treasury Regulations.

(g) Tax Elections. Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit hereunder or any other tax elections (including elections under Code Section 754) that must be made at the LLC level (as opposed to by the Members) shall be made (or not made) by the Distribution Committee in its sole discretion on behalf of the LLC.

(h) LLC Interests Held During Portion of Taxable Year. For purposes of determining the income, gain, loss, deduction or credit, or any other items allocable to any period, such items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Distribution Committee including any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(i) Consistent Reporting. The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Section 7 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 7 in reporting their distributive shares of LLC income and loss for income tax purposes.

(j) Amounts Withheld with Respect to Members. The LLC is authorized to withhold from payments and distributions, or with respect to allocations to the Members, and to pay over to any federal, state, local, or foreign government, all amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to any provisions of any federal, state, local, or foreign law, and shall allocate any such amounts to the Members with respect to which such amount was withheld. All such amounts withheld shall be treated as amounts paid or distributed, as the case may be, to the Members with respect to which such amount was withheld pursuant to this Section 7(j) for all purposes under this Agreement.

(k) Payments with Respect to Certain Nonvested LLC Interests; Taxes Withheld. A distribution with respect to a Nonvested LLC Interest for which there has not been an effective election under Code Section 83(b), including an amount paid directly to a holder of an LP Interest and any withholding tax or other tax payable with respect to such distribution pursuant to the Code, the Treasury Regulations, or any state or local statute, regulation or ordinance requiring such payment (a “Withholding Tax Act”), shall be treated as a distribution to the Member holding such Nonvested LLC Interest for all purposes of this Agreement, consistently with the character or

source of the income, profits or distributions which gave rise to such payment or withholding obligation. The Distribution Committee shall have the authority to take all actions necessary to enable the LLC to make such payments with respect to such Nonvested LLC Interests and to comply with the provisions of any Withholding Tax Act applicable to the LLC and to carry out the provisions of this Section 7(k). Each Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the LLC for all taxes (including interest, penalties and additions to tax) relating to amounts received by such Member from the LLC that were required to have been withheld by the LLC under applicable law.

8. Restrictions on Transfers and Issuances of LLC Interests.

(a) Restrictions in General. Except as otherwise permitted under the Equity Plan or this Section 8(a), neither the Partnership nor any other Member shall Transfer to any transferee all or any portion of his, her or its LLC Interest and no transferee shall be admitted as a Member to the LLC without the prior written consent of Old Mutual Intermediary as provided in Section 3(j). Old Mutual Intermediary and any of its successors and assigns, in its sole discretion, may Transfer all or any portion of its LLC Interest to any transferee (the “Old Mutual Transferee”) without any restriction or limitation. Any transferee permitted under this Section 8(a) shall not be admitted as a Member unless such transferee (i) agrees in writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 4(d) and (ii) executes any agreements, documents or instruments specified by the Board of Managers or OM(US)H.

(b) Rescission Rights. If a Member other than Old Mutual Intermediary Transfers his, her or its LLC Interest to the Partnership, such Member shall have the right to rescind such Transfer within three (3) business days of such Transfer by providing written notice to the Chief Executive Officer of the LLC with a copy to the OM(US)H Manager who is the Chief Executive Officer of OM(US)H. Such Transfer shall be null and void and ineffective to Transfer such Member’s LLC Interest and such Member shall continue as a Member of the LLC and such Transfer shall have no effect on such Member’s rights or obligations as a Member hereunder. Such Member shall not be entitled to any right, and shall not be subject to any obligation, under the limited partnership agreement of the Partnership as a result of such Transfer.

(c) Transfers in Violation of this Agreement. In the event of any attempted or purported Transfer in contravention of any of the provisions of this Agreement, such attempted or purported Transfer shall be null and void and ineffective to Transfer any interest in the LLC and shall not bind, or be recognized by or on the books of, the LLC, and any attempted or purported transferee in such Transfer shall not be or be treated as or deemed to be a Member for any purpose. In the event of such attempted or purported Transfer in contravention of any of the provisions of this Agreement, then the LLC and each other Member shall, in addition to all rights and remedies at law and equity, be entitled to a decree or order restraining and enjoining such Transfer, and the offending Member shall not plead in defense thereto that there would be an adequate remedy at law; it being expressly hereby acknowledged and agreed that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach of the provisions set forth in this Agreement concerning any such attempted or purported Transfer.

(d) Court Ordered Transfers. In the event of any Transfer which, notwithstanding having been prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, is mandated by a court of final jurisdiction, the transferee shall not be admitted as a Member of the LLC and shall have no voting or consent rights hereunder unless otherwise required by the Act.

(e) Issuance of LLC Interests. During the term of this Agreement and subject to Sections 3(h)(ii) and 3(j) hereof, the LLC shall not issue any LLC Interest to any employee of the LLC without the Consent of the Remuneration Committee.

(f) Certificated Interests. (i) Ownership of LLC Interests will be evidenced by certificates. The books reflecting the issuance and transfer of any certificates shall be kept by the LLC. The certificates shall be consecutively numbered and shall be entered in the books of the LLC as they are issued and shall exhibit the holder’s name and the number of Units held by such holder. The certificates shall carry a legend noting (i) the restrictions on the transfer or assignment of the LLC Interests, (ii) that each LLC Interest constitutes a “security under the Delaware UCC and Other State UCC (as defined below) and (iii) any other matters as shall be determined by the LLC in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any other federal or state securities or blue sky laws. The LLC may determine the conditions upon which a new certificate may be issued in place of a certificate which is alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed and may, in its discretion, require the owner of such certificate or its legal representative to give bond, with sufficient surety, to indemnify the LLC and any transfer agent and registrar against any and all loss or claims which may arise by reason of the issuance of a new certificate in the place of the one lost, stolen, or destroyed. The Members agree that the certificates may be held by the Company or OM(US)H on behalf of the Recipient.

(ii) Each LLC Interest (including each Unit) shall constitute a “security” within the meaning of, and governed by, (a) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code (including Section 8-102(a)(15) thereof) as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware (the “Delaware UCC”) and (b) the corresponding provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction that now or hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8 thereof as adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on February 14, 1995 (each, an “Other State UCC”). For all purposes of this Article 8 of the Delaware UCC and any Other State UCC and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the laws of the State of Delaware shall constitute the local law of the Company in the Company’s capacity as the issuer of LLC Interests.

(g) Compliance with Securities Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the LLC shall not issue any LLC Interest, and no Member shall Transfer its LLC Interest, to the extent that such issuance or Transfer would violate the Securities Act or any other federal or state securities or blue sky laws.

9. Certain Provisions Inapplicable to Nonvested LLC Interests. An LLC Interest issued pursuant to the Equity Plan may be subject to vesting conditions that cause all or a portion of such LLC Interest to be classified as “substantially nonvested property” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3(b) (any such LLC Interest, or portion thereof, including an

LLC Interest held by the Partnership, a “Nonvested LLC Interest”). A holder of a Nonvested LLC Interest shall, in general, be a Member for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of Sections 4(c), 6(b), 6(c) and 7, “Member” shall not include a Member to the extent that its LLC Interest is a Nonvested LLC Interest for which there has not been an effective election under Code Section 83(b), and such LLC Interest shall be disregarded for purposes of such provisions.

10. Liability. Except as otherwise provided by the Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the LLC, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the LLC, and no Member or Manager shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the LLC by reason of acting in such capacity. No Member shall be required to lend any funds to the LLC. The liability of each Member for the losses, debts and obligations of the LLC shall be limited to its Capital Contributions theretofore made to the LLC by such Member (or its predecessor in interest) which have not been previously repaid to or withdrawn by such Member (or its predecessor in interest) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. No Member shall have any liability to restore any negative balance in its Capital Account.

11. Priorities. No Member shall have any rights or priority over any other Members as to contributions or as to distributions or compensation by way of income, except as specifically provided in this Agreement.

12. Entity Characterization. It is the intention of the Members that the LLC constitute a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes at all times when two or more Persons (other than Persons who are not treated as separate for tax purposes) hold LLC Interests, and, to the extent permitted under applicable law, for all other income tax purposes. The LLC shall use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable laws and regulations to ensure that the LLC is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time when two or more Persons (other than Persons who are not treated as separate for tax purposes) hold LLC Interests.

13. Term; Dissolution of the LLC.

(a) Term. The term of the LLC shall be perpetual, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided.

(b) Events of Dissolution or Liquidation. The LLC shall be dissolved upon the first to occur of the following (each, an “Event of Dissolution”): (i) the Consent of the Board of Managers (and the consent of Old Mutual Intermediary in accordance with Section 3(j) hereof); (ii) the dissolution, termination, winding-up or bankruptcy of OM(US)H with the consent of Old Mutual plc; (iii) the withdrawal, or other inability to act as a member of the LLC, of Old Mutual Intermediary (provided, however, that the Transfer of Old Mutual Intermediary’s LLC Interests to an Old Mutual Transferee, as set forth in Section 8(a) shall not cause an Event of Dissolution), (iv) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act and (v) the termination of the legal existence of the last remaining member of the LLC or the occurrence of any other event that terminates the continued membership of the last remaining member of the LLC unless the LLC is continued without dissolution in a manner permitted by this Agreement

or the Act. Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the last remaining Member of the LLC to cease to be a Member of the LLC, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of such member is hereby authorized to, and shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such Member in the LLC, agree in writing (i) to continue the LLC and (ii) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of the LLC, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such Member in the LLC. Following an Event of Dissolution, the Board of Managers shall proceed diligently to liquidate the assets of the LLC in a manner consistent with commercially reasonable business practices. Neither the termination of the Equity Plan nor a Change in Control of the LLC (as defined in the Equity Plan as a “Change in Control of the Company”) shall constitute an Event of Dissolution. Except as provided in this Section 13(b), the death, retirement, resignation, removal, bankruptcy or dissolution of a Member or the occurrence of any other event that terminates the continued membership of a Member in the LLC (including the bankruptcy of such Member) shall not in and of itself cause a dissolution of the LLC to occur (and the LLC, without such Member, shall continue), unless there are no remaining Members of the LLC.

(c) Distributions upon Liquidation. In connection with the liquidation of the LLC, the assets of the LLC shall be applied and distributed by the Distribution Committee in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to creditors of the LLC, including Members, in the order of priority provided by law in satisfaction of the liabilities of the LLC (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof), including the creation or augmentation of a reserve of cash or other assets of the LLC for contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities in an amount, if any, determined by the Distribution Committee to be appropriate for such purposes; and

(ii) thereafter, to the Members in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(b) hereof.

(i) Within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year, the LLC shall use its best efforts to cause to be prepared a consolidated balance sheet of the LLC as of the end of such fiscal year and the related consolidated statement of operations and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and, as promptly as practicable following such preparation, certified by a firm of independent public accountants of recognized national standing selected by the Board of Managers, subject to Section 3(j) hereof.

(ii) Within ninety (90) days after the end of the second fiscal quarter of each fiscal year, the LLC shall use its best efforts to cause to be prepared a consolidated balance sheet of the LLC and the related consolidated statement of operations and cash flows, unaudited but prepared in accordance with GAAP and certified by the Chief Financial Officer of the LLC, as of the end of second fiscal quarter and for the period from the beginning of the fiscal year to the end of the second fiscal quarter.

(iv) The LLC shall provide copies of the financial statements specified in Sections 14(c)(i), 14(c)(ii) and 14(c)(iii) to the Members either (A) as an exhibit to the Equity Plan Terms of Offering for the Trading Window next following the preparation of such financial statements or (B) within ten (10) business days of the preparation of such financial statements as set forth in such Sections.

The Board of Managers shall further cause the officers and employees of the LLC to cooperate with the LLC’s firm of independent public accountants and the Board of Managers, officers and employees of the LLC in any valuation of the LLC performed for any reason, including as required under the Equity Plan.

(d) Fiscal Year. Except as otherwise required by the Code, the fiscal year (and taxable year) of the LLC shall end on December 31 of each year (each a “Fiscal Year”).

(e) Tax Matters Partner. Old Mutual Intermediary shall be the “tax matters partner” of the LLC for purposes of the Code until its bankruptcy, insolvency, resignation or the designation of its successor, whichever occurs sooner. Any subsequent “tax matters partner” shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Managers, except to the extent the Code and/or Treasury Regulations require such designation to be made in another manner. Each Member hereby consents to such designation and agrees that upon the request of Old Mutual Intermediary it will execute, certify, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such consent. Promptly following the written request of the tax matters partner, the LLC shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, reimburse and indemnify the tax matters partner for all reasonable expenses, including reasonable legal and accounting fees, claims, liabilities, losses and damages incurred by the tax matters partner in connection with any administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to the tax liability of the Members.

(f) Confidential Information. Except as otherwise required by law or judicial order or decree or by any governmental or regulatory agency or authority, unless otherwise approved by the Board of Managers, no Person other than Old Mutual Intermediary shall use any proprietary or confidential information owned by the LLC other than for the benefit of the LLC, whether or not such Person is or remains a Member (including any Person that owns equity interests of a Member either directly or indirectly), Manager, officer, employee or other agent of the LLC. The preceding sentence shall not, however, apply to disclosures of information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of any violation of this Agreement by the disclosing Person or anyone to whom such disclosing Person transmits any

information or (ii) is or becomes known or available to such disclosing Person on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the LLC or any of its subsidiaries) that is not under any confidentiality obligation to the LLC or any of its subsidiaries with respect to that information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Old Mutual Intermediary (and any Person who owns equity interests of Old Mutual Intermediary either directly or indirectly) may use any proprietary or confidential information owned by the LLC for business purposes.

15. Indemnity; Other Business; Duties.

(a) Indemnity.

(i) Except as provided below, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the LLC shall indemnify Old Mutual Intermediary (and any Person that owns equity interests of Old Mutual Intermediary either directly or indirectly including, but not limited to, OM(US)H, OMAM, and Old Mutual plc (including, in each case, any director, officer, manager, member, partner, employee or other agent thereof) and any Member, officer or Manager (including Members, officers and Managers who serve at the LLC’s request as directors, officers, managers, members, partners, employees or other agents of another organization or who serve at its request in any capacity including with respect to any employee benefit plan; such service is hereafter described as serving in a representative capacity) (each, a “Covered Person”) against expenses, including attorney’s fees, and against the amount of any judgment, money, decree, fine, penalty, or settlement (provided the Board of Managers deems, in its sole discretion, the settlement to have been a reasonable one), necessarily paid or incurred by such Covered Person in connection with or arising out of any claim, or any civil, administrative or criminal action, suit, or other proceeding of whatever nature brought against such Covered Person (other than an action brought by or in the right of the LLC) by reason of such Covered Person being or having been a Manager, officer or Member, serving or having served in a representative capacity, or acting or having acted, or failing to act or to have acted, pursuant to authority granted by this Agreement; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section 15(a) shall be provided out of and only to the extent of the LLC’s assets, and no Member, officer or Manager shall have personal liability on account thereof. Such indemnification shall apply even though at the time of such claim, action, suit or proceeding such Covered Person is no longer a Member, officer or Manager of the LLC. The foregoing indemnification shall be conditioned, however, upon the Covered Person seeking it, at all times and from time to time, (A) fully disclosing to any Person designated by the Board of Managers all facts, events and occurrences which the Board of Managers in its sole discretion deems relevant to its decision to indemnify; and (B) fully cooperating with and assisting the LLC and its counsel in any reasonable manner with respect to protecting or pursuing the LLC’s interests in any matter relating to the subject matter of the claim, action, suit or other proceeding for which indemnification is sought. No indemnification shall be provided for any Covered Person (1) if such Covered Person has committed fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by the Board of Managers in its sole discretion, (2) with respect to any matter as to which the Board of Managers determines that such Covered Person (other than Old Mutual Intermediary (and any Person that owns equity interests of Old Mutual

Intermediary either directly or indirectly including OMAM, OM(US)H and Old Mutual plc), the Partnership or OM(US)H Manager(s)) did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that such Covered Person’s action was in the best interest of the LLC or, to the extent that such matter relates to service with respect to any employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the participants, or the beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan, or (3) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if the Board of Managers determines that such Covered Person had reasonable cause to believe that its conduct was unlawful. In the event a Covered Person is a Manager, any decision of the Board of Managers referred to in the preceding sentence shall be made by the Consent of the Board of Managers without the vote of that Manager.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the LLC shall not provide indemnification for any former Manager, officer or Member who, in the judgment of the Board of Managers, was in serious or repeated breach of its duties as a Manager or Member.

(iii) Any rights of indemnification hereunder shall not be exclusive but shall be in addition to any other right which Old Mutual Intermediary, any Manager or any Member may have or obtain, and shall accrue to such Covered Person’s successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives.

(iv) Any employee of or agent for the LLC may be indemnified in such manner as the Board of Managers determines.

(b) Advancement of Expenses. If a Covered Person provides the Board of Managers with evidence that demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Board of Managers that such Covered Person is reasonably likely to prevail on the merits of such matter, expenses reasonably incurred in defending any claim, action, suit or proceeding of the character described in Section 15(a) may, if the Board of Managers so determines in its sole discretion, be advanced by the LLC prior to the final disposition of such claim, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf of the recipient to repay all such advances if it is ultimately determined by the Board of Managers that such Covered Person is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 15(a).

(c) Outside Interests. Old Mutual Intermediary (and any Person that owns equity interests of Old Mutual Intermediary either directly or indirectly including OM(US)H, OMAM, and Old Mutual plc) may engage in and possess interests in other business ventures and investment opportunities of every kind and description, independently or with others, including serving as member, manager or partner of other limited liability companies and partnerships, whether or not such ventures or opportunities are competitive with the LLC, and the doctrine of corporate opportunity or any analogous doctrine shall not apply to Old Mutual Intermediary (or any Person that owns equity interests of Old Mutual Intermediary either directly or indirectly, including OM(US)H, OMAM or Old Mutual plc). If Old Mutual Intermediary (or any Person that owns equity interests of Old Mutual Intermediary either directly or indirectly, including OM(US)H, OMAM or Old Mutual plc) acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for the LLC, Old Mutual Intermediary (and any such Person) shall have no duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the LLC, and shall not be liable to the LLC or to any Member for breach of any fiduciary or

other duty by reason of the fact that Old Mutual Intermediary (or any such Person) pursues or acquires for, or directs such opportunity to, another Person or does not communicate such opportunity or information to the LLC. Neither the LLC nor any Member shall have any rights in or to such independent business ventures or investment opportunities or the income or profits therefrom by virtue of this Agreement, and the pursuit of such ventures, even if competitive with the activities of the LLC, shall not be deemed wrongful, improper or the breach of any duty to the LLC or any Member existing at law, in equity or otherwise.

(d) Reserves. If the LLC determines that it is appropriate or necessary to do so, the LLC may establish reasonable reserves, escrow accounts or similar accounts to cover its obligations under this Section 15.

(e) Rights Cumulative. The right of any Covered Person to the indemnification provided herein shall be cumulative with, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Covered Person may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Covered Person’s successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives.

(f) Survival. The provisions of this Section 15 shall continue to afford protection to each Covered Person regardless of whether such Covered Person remains in the position or capacity pursuant to which such Covered Person became entitled to indemnification under this Section 15 (regardless of whether a claim, action, suit or proceeding is filed or commenced while such Covered Person remains in such position or after he, she or it no longer hold such position) and regardless of any subsequent amendment to this Agreement, and no amendment to this Agreement shall reduce or restrict the extent to which these indemnification provisions apply to actions taken or omissions made prior to the date of such amendment. In addition, any repeal or modification of any of the provisions of this Section 15 shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any Covered Person in respect of any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

(g) Duties.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other provision of law or equity and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Members agree that none of Old Mutual Intermediary (and any Person that owns equity interests of Old Mutual Intermediary either directly or indirectly, including OM(US)H, OMAM or Old Mutual plc), the Partnership or OM(US)H Manager(s) shall owe any duties (including fiduciary duties) to any Member, the Company or any other Person bound by this Agreement, other than the duties and obligations of such Member or OM(US)H Manager(s) expressly set forth in this Agreement, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 15(g) shall eliminate any implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to any Member, the Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to Company or to any Member for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of a Person to any Member, the Company or any other Person bound by this Agreement otherwise existing at law or

in equity, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Person.

(ii) The LLC and each of the Members expressly acknowledge that neither Old Mutual Intermediary (and any Person that owns equity interests of Old Mutual Intermediary either directly or indirectly, including OM(US)H, OMAM, and Old Mutual plc) nor OM(US)H Manager(s) is under any obligation to consider the separate interests of any Member (including the tax consequences to any Member) in deciding whether to take, or cause the LLC to take (or decline to take), any actions, and that neither Old Mutual Intermediary (and such Person) nor OM(US)H Manager(s) shall be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by any Member in connection with such decisions.

16. Code Section 83 Safe Harbor Election. The Board of Managers is hereby authorized and directed to cause the LLC to make an election to value any LLC Interest issued as compensation for services to the LLC or any affiliate of the LLC (a “Compensatory Interest”) at liquidation value (the “Safe Harbor Election”), as the same may be permitted pursuant to or in accordance with the finally promulgated successor rules to Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.83-3(l) and IRS Notice 2005-43 (collectively, the “Proposed Rules”). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Board of Managers shall cause the LLC to make any allocations of items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit (including forfeiture allocations and elections as to allocation periods) necessary or appropriate to effectuate and maintain the Safe Harbor Election. Any such Safe Harbor Election shall be binding on the LLC and on all of its Members with respect to all Transfers of Compensatory Interests while a Safe Harbor Election is in effect. A Safe Harbor Election once made may be revoked by the Board of Managers and as permitted by the Proposed Rules or any applicable rule. Each Member, by signing this Agreement or by accepting such Transfer, hereby agrees to comply with all requirements of the Safe Harbor Election with respect to all Compensatory Interests while the Safe Harbor Election remains effective. The Board of Managers shall file or cause the LLC to file all returns, reports and other documentation as may be required to perfect and maintain the Safe Harbor Election with respect to Transfers of any Compensatory Interest. The Board of Managers is hereby authorized and empowered, without further vote or action of the Members, to amend this Agreement as necessary to comply with the Proposed Rules or any applicable rule, 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, respectively. Each Member agrees to cooperate with the Board of Managers to perfect and maintain any Safe Harbor Election, and to timely execute and deliver any documentation with respect thereto reasonably requested by the Board of Managers. No Transfer of any LLC Interest shall be effective unless prior to such Transfer the transferee of such LLC Interest shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 16, in form and substance satisfactory to the Board of Managers.

17. Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, including any applicable requirements for exclusion from coverage by such Code Section 409A. Consistent with this intent, this Agreement shall be

construed and administered in accordance with Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the effective date of this Agreement. In the event that the Board of Managers determines that any amount payable hereunder will be taxable to any Member under Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations or other guidance, prior to payment of such amount, the Board of Managers is hereby authorized and empowered, without further vote or action of the Members, (a) to amend this Agreement (including with retroactive effect) as the Board of Managers determines necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of any payments provided by this Agreement, and shall have the authority to execute any such amendment by and on behalf of each Member, and/or (b) to take such other actions as the Board of Managers determines necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

18. Miscellaneous.

(a) Binding Effect. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of (i) the Members and their respective successors, successors-in-title, heirs and assigns and (ii) the Managers and any successors thereto designated pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof, provided, however, that this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of successors and assigns only in the event of Transfers in compliance with Section 8 hereof.
