SECTION 3.04      Officers. (a) The General Partner shall have the power and authority to appoint such officers with such titles, authority and duties as determined by the General Partner. Such Persons so designated by the General Partner shall be referred to as “Officers”. The Officers shall have the titles, power, authority and duties as determined by the General Partner.

In addition, all notices, information, requests for consent and similar distributions made to Brookfield LPs in respect of Brookfield-Owned Units shall simultaneously be sent directly to the Brookfield Member by the Partnership, in accordance with the notice provisions in the OCG Operating Agreement. In the event any Person who is the General Partner holds any Brookfield-Owned Units, such Brookfield-Owned Units shall be deemed to be held by such Person solely in its capacity as a Limited Partner (and thus as a Brookfield LP) and not in its capacity as the General Partner.
ARTICLE IV    

DISTRIBUTIONS
SECTION 4.01      Distributions.
(a)    Subject to Sections 4.02, 4.03 and 4.04, distributions of Available Cash shall be made in accordance with the Cash Distribution Policy, pro rata in accordance with the Partners’ respective Total Percentage Interests. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the portion of any such distributions made in respect of Brookfield-Owned Units shall be further apportioned and distributed pursuant to the priorities set forth in Section 4.02(b) and (ii) the General Partner, in its capacity as such, shall not participate in any distributions.
(b)    In addition to the distributions of Available Cash contemplated by Section 4.01(a), but subject to Sections 4.02, 4.03 and 4.04, if the General Partner reasonably determines that the taxable income of the Partnership for a Fiscal Year will give rise to taxable income for the Partners (“Net Taxable Income”), and that distributions of Available Cash in accordance with the Cash Distribution Policy for such Fiscal Year and other distributions made by the Partnership for such Fiscal Year would otherwise be insufficient to cover the income tax liabilities of the Partners arising from such taxable income, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute additional cash (if any and determined after taking into account all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership then due and amounts which the General Partner reasonably determines to be necessary to expend or retain for working capital or to place into reserves for customary and usual claims with respect to the Partnership’s operations, in each case determined in a manner consistent with the Cash Distribution Policy) in respect of income tax liabilities (the “Tax Distributions”), pro rata in accordance with the Partners’ respective Total Percentage Interests. The Tax Distributions payable with respect to a period shall be computed based upon the General Partner’s estimate of the allocable Net Taxable Income in accordance with Article V for such period, multiplied by the Assumed Tax Rate (the “Tax Amount”). For purposes of computing the Tax Amount, the effect of any benefit to a Partner under Section 743(b) of the Code will be ignored. To the extent required to be made, the Partnership shall make Tax Distributions quarterly based on the expected, estimated taxable income of the Partnership for the relevant quarter as reasonably determined by the General Partner, and within 90 days after the end of the Fiscal Year with respect to a Fiscal Year. For the avoidance of doubt, the portion of any Tax Distribution in respect of Brookfield-Owned Units shall be further apportioned and distributed pursuant to the priorities set forth in Section 4.02(b).
(c)    In addition to the distributions contemplated by Sections 4.01(a) and 4.01(b), the Partnership may, with the prior written approval of all of the Partners, make additional distributions as mutually agreed by all of the Partners, pro rata in accordance with the Partners’ respective Total Percentage Interests. For the avoidance of doubt, the portion of any such distribution in respect of Brookfield-Owned Units shall be further apportioned and distributed pursuant to the priorities set forth in Section 4.02(b).
SECTION 4.02      Distributions Relating to Notes.
(a)    In connection with the issuance of ExchangeCo Notes by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of ExchangeCo (each such subsidiary, an “ExchangeCo Note Issuer”) in exchange for the contribution of Units to such ExchangeCo Notes Issuer and in connection with the other transactions contemplated by the ExchangeCo Note Purchase Agreements, the Partnership, the Brookfield Member and each Partner agree as follows, and each shall take all actions necessary to effectuate the same:
(i)    For each such ExchangeCo Note, there will be carved out from the rights of the Brookfield-Owned Units to receive distributions from the Partnership, the economic right (the “Special Distribution Right”) to receive solely from amounts otherwise distributable to Brookfield LPs in respect of Brookfield-Owned Units, a cumulative amount (when added to all distributions in respect of Other OpCo Special Distribution Rights related to such Special Distribution Right that are directly or indirectly owned by Brookfield) equal to the sum of (A) a base amount that is equal to the outstanding principal amount of such ExchangeCo Note (the “Base Amount”), which Base Amount will be due no later than the maturity of such ExchangeCo Note, (B) a periodic yield on the outstanding portion of such Base Amount that accrues at the same rate as the interest rate on such ExchangeCo Note (the “Periodic Yield”) and (C) such additional amounts (if any) as are sufficient to satisfy all other obligations under such ExchangeCo Note and the ExchangeCo Note Documents as defined in the applicable ExchangeCo Note Purchase Agreement, such Special Distribution Right, and all related Other OpCo Special Distribution Rights (such additional amounts, the “Miscellaneous Amounts”), including administrative expenses and enforcement costs. For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Distribution Right will not increase or change the amount distributable in respect of any Brookfield-Owned Unit, or decrease or change the amount distributable in respect of any OCGH-Owned Unit, or otherwise change the pari passu, pro rata nature of Units; instead, it will operate to apportion amounts otherwise distributable to Brookfield LPs in respect of Brookfield-Owned Units to the holder of such Special Distribution Right.
(ii)    The Special Distribution Right with respect to an ExchangeCo Note will be held by, and exist for the benefit of, the ExchangeCo Note Issuer for such ExchangeCo Note.
(iii)    As a condition to holding the Special Distribution Right for an ExchangeCo Note, the Units received by the ExchangeCo Note Issuer (through ExchangeCo) from OCGH in connection with such ExchangeCo Note Issuer’s issuance of such ExchangeCo Note will be cancelled. Simultaneously, in exchange for the Brookfield LPs bearing the economic burden of such Special Distribution Right, the Partnership will issue to the Brookfield LPs the same number and type of Units as are so cancelled. For the avoidance of doubt, such cancellation and issuance will not result in any net change to the number and type of Units outstanding; instead, they will result in a net increase to Brookfield-Owned Units that exactly offsets the net decrease in OCGH-Owned Units from OCGH’s contribution of Units to ExchangeCo (and ExchangeCo’s subsequent contribution of such Units to the ExchangeCo Note Issuer) in connection with the issuance of the applicable ExchangeCo Note.
(iv)    In connection with any distribution in respect of the Units, each ExchangeCo Note Issuer will be entitled to an amount to be distributed in respect of each Special Distribution Right held by such ExchangeCo Note Issuer; provided that such amount (A) will not be less than the sum of (x) all accrued and unpaid Periodic Yield for such Special Distribution Right, (y) all outstanding Miscellaneous Amounts for such Special Distribution Right and (z) any unpaid Base Amount and (B) will not be more than, when added to (x) all previous distributions in respect of such Special Distribution Right and (y) all previous distributions by Other OpCos in respect of Other OpCo Special Distribution Rights that are related to such Special Distribution Right, the cumulative economic entitlement represented by such Special Distribution Right and such related Other OpCo Special Distribution Rights, in each case as determined by the ExchangeCo Note Issuer and notified to the Partnership. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cumulative distributions by the Partnership to the applicable Notes Issuer prior to the maturity (whether stated or accelerated) of the ExchangeCo Note with respect to its Special Distribution Right shall not exceed all Periodic Yield, all Miscellaneous Amounts and 90% of the Base Amount thereof, in each case, attributable to the Special Distribution Right of the Partnership.
(v)    Upon payment in full of an ExchangeCo Note and all other obligations under the “ExchangeCo Note Documents” as defined in the applicable ExchangeCo Note Purchase Agreement, the Special Distribution Right for such ExchangeCo Note will be cancelled.
(b)    In the event any ExchangeCo Note or Atlas Note (each, a “Note”) is outstanding, then amounts distributable pursuant to Section 4.01 or 9.03 in respect of Brookfield-Owned Units (including any Special Distribution Rights carved out therefrom) shall be apportioned and distributed as between the Brookfield LPs and the ExchangeCo Note Issuers in the following order of priority:
(i)    first, to the Brookfield LPs until the Brookfield LPs have received cumulative distributions pursuant to this Section 4.02(b)(i) equal to its cumulative Brookfield Tax/TPE Amounts;
(ii)    second, to the Brookfield LPs, on the one hand, and each ExchangeCo Note Issuer, on the other hand, pro rata in proportion to the respective amounts receivable by them under this Section 4.02(b)(ii), until, (A) in the case of the Brookfield LPs, the Brookfield LPs have received an aggregate amount, when combined with all related distributions by the Other OpCos in respect of the Brookfield-Owned Other OpCo Units (excluding distributions in respect of Special Distribution Rights and Other OpCo Special Distribution Rights), equal to all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts then owing (but excluding outstanding principal) in respect of all outstanding Atlas Notes, and (B) in the case of an ExchangeCo Note Issuer, such ExchangeCo Note Issuer has received an aggregate amount, when combined with all related distributions by the Other OpCos in respect of related Other OpCo Special Distribution Rights, equal to all accrued and unpaid Periodic Yield and all Miscellaneous Amounts then owing in respect of such ExchangeCo Note Issuer’s Special Distribution Rights and related Other OpCo Special Distribution Rights;
(iii)     third, in the event any outstanding principal under any Note is then due, (A) in the case such Note is an Atlas Note, to the Brookfield LPs until the Brookfield LPs have received an aggregate amount, when combined with all related distributions by the Other OpCos in respect of the Brookfield-Owned Other OpCo Units (excluding distributions in respect of Special Distribution Rights and Other OpCo Special Distribution Rights), equal to such outstanding principal, and (B) in the case such Note is an ExchangeCo Note, to the ExchangeCo Note Issuer for such ExchangeCo Note until such ExchangeCo Note Issuer has received an aggregate amount, when combined with all related distributions by the Other OpCos in respect of related Other OpCo Special Distribution Rights, equal to the outstanding Base Amount for the Special Distribution Right for such ExchangeCo Note; provided that, (x) in the event the outstanding principal under more than one Note is then due, distributions under this Section 4.02(b)(iii) shall be made in chronological order of the maturity date of such Notes starting with the earliest maturity date, and (y) in the event two or more Notes have the same maturity date, distributions under this Section 4.02(b)(iii) in respect of such Notes with the same maturity date shall be made pro rata in proportion to the respective amounts receivable in respect of such Notes under this Section 4.02(b)(iii); and
(iv)    thereafter, in the event of any remaining outstanding principal under any Note (regardless of whether such outstanding principal is then due), (A) in the case such Note is an Atlas Note, to the Brookfield LPs until the Brookfield LPs have received an aggregate amount, when combined with all related distributions by the Other OpCos in respect of the Brookfield-Owned Other OpCo Units (excluding distributions in respect of Other OpCo Special Distribution Rights), equal to such remaining outstanding principal, and (B) in the case such Note is an ExchangeCo Note, to the ExchangeCo Note Issuer for such ExchangeCo Note until such ExchangeCo Note Issuer has received an aggregate amount, when combined with all related distributions by the Other OpCos in respect of related Other OpCo Special Distribution Rights, necessary to reduce the remaining outstanding Base Amount for the Special Distribution Right for such ExchangeCo Note to 10% of its original Base Amount; provided that, (x) in the event there is more than one Note with remaining outstanding principal or remaining outstanding Base Amount, distributions under this Section 4.02(b)(iv) shall be made in chronological order of the maturity date of such Notes starting with the earliest maturity date, and (y) in the event any such Notes have the same maturity date, distributions under this Section 4.02(b)(iv) in respect of such Notes with the same maturity date shall be made pro rata in proportion to the respective amounts receivable in respect of such Notes under this Section 4.02(b)(iv).
“Brookfield Tax/TPE Amounts” means the aggregate taxes and unaffiliated third-party expenses (i.e., bona fide out-of-pocket expenses directly incurred and paid to Persons who are unaffiliated with the Brookfield Member and its Affiliates) that are payable and actually paid by the Brookfield Member or any of its direct or indirect parents in connection with their ownership or sale or disposition of the Brookfield-Owned Units. The Brookfield Member shall provide the Partnership and OCGH with an officer’s certificate from time to time certifying as to the amount and type of the Brookfield Tax/TPE Amounts with respect to which distributions are to be made pursuant to Section 4.02(b)(i). The Brookfield Member shall provide OCGH with such information about the Brookfield Tax/TPE Amounts as reasonably requested by OCGH for purposes of verifying the amount and nature of Brookfield Tax/TPE Amounts. For purposes of calculating Brookfield Tax/TPE Amounts, any net operating losses and similar tax attributes utilized shall be treated as attributable to the ownership or sale or disposition of the Brookfield-Owned Units, on the one hand, and the Brookfield Member’s or any of its direct or indirect partners’ other activities, on the other hand, in proportion to the gross taxable income attributable to each.
(c)    In the event of any direct or indirect sale or other disposition of any Brookfield-Owned Unit to an unaffiliated third party, the Brookfield Member shall cause all proceeds from such sale or other disposition to be applied pursuant to Section 4.02(b) (including in the priorities and proportions contemplated thereunder) mutatis mutandis, as if such proceeds were distributions governed by Section 4.02(b), in each case, to the extent such payment would be required to be made pursuant to Section 7.3(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement governing the Atlas Notes or the corresponding section of the ExchangeCo Note Purchase Agreement.
(d)    The Brookfield LPs and the Brookfield Member shall cause all amounts apportioned and distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(b) in respect of any Atlas Note to be used by the Atlas Note Issuer solely to satisfy the corresponding Atlas Note obligations with respect to which such amounts were calculated. The Partnership shall take such actions as are, (i) reasonably requested by the Brookfield Member during the Initial Period, and (ii) reasonably requested by OCGH after the Initial Period, to facilitate such satisfaction of such obligations, including by delivering such amounts directly to the Atlas Note Issuer on behalf of the Brookfield LPs or to the holder of any Atlas Note as payment on behalf of such Atlas Note Issuer.
(e)    OCGH shall cause all amounts apportioned and distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(b) in respect of the Special Distribution Right for any ExchangeCo Note to be used by the applicable ExchangeCo Note Issuer solely to satisfy the corresponding ExchangeCo Note obligations with respect to which such amounts were calculated. The Partnership shall take such actions as are reasonably requested by OCGH or the Brookfield Member to facilitate such satisfaction of such obligations, including by delivering such amounts directly to the holder of any ExchangeCo Note as payment on behalf of the applicable ExchangeCo Note Issuer.
(f)    OCGH shall provide the Brookfield Member with good faith estimates, based upon reasonably available information to OCGH at the time, of current tax basis information with respect to the Special Distribution Rights held indirectly (through the ExchangeCo Note Issuers) by ExchangeCo (with respect to each series thereof) (i) promptly upon the request of the Brookfield Member, (ii) on a quarterly basis, no later than 15 days prior to any quarterly distribution, and (iii) reasonably prior to (A) any contributions or other distributions (including deemed contributions and distributions pursuant to Section 752 of the Code) indirectly (through the ExchangeCo Note Issuers) by or to ExchangeCo and (B) the realization of any extraordinary item of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Partnership.
(g)    Set forth on Exhibit B hereto are illustrative examples of distributions in accordance with this Section 4.02.
SECTION 4.03      Certain Special Distributions.
(a)    [Reserved]
(b)    In the event OCG has indemnification and advancement obligations to OCG Indemnified Persons under the OCG Operating Agreement and such obligations are not satisfied by the Partnership, the Other OpCos or Persons other than OCG, the Partnership shall make special distributions as are necessary to the Brookfield LPs, who, in turn, shall make further distributions of the same amount to OCG for use by OCG solely for purposes of satisfying such obligations. In the event OCG subsequently receives funds from other sources (including any reimbursement under insurance policies, recovery against third parties, or otherwise) such that such distribution (or any portion thereof) would have been unnecessary had OCG received such funds prior to the time of such distribution, the Brookfield LPs and the Brookfield Member shall promptly cause OCG to return such distribution (or such portion thereof) to the Partnership.
(c)    In the event that AOH, OCG, Atlas Holdings LLC, or any Intermediate Subsidiary has expense obligations that constitute Group Expenses (as defined in the Cash Distribution Policy), and such obligations are not satisfied directly by the Partnership or the other OpCos, the Partnership shall make special distributions as are necessary to the Brookfield LPs, who, in turn, shall make further distributions of the same amount to AOH, OCG, Atlas Holdings LLC or such Intermediate Subsidiary for use by AOH, OCG, Atlas Holdings LLC or such Intermediate Subsidiary solely for purposes of satisfying such obligations; provided that special distributions pursuant to this Section 4.03(c) shall be made only to the extent the cumulative amount of Group Expenses that are actually paid by AOH, OCG, Atlas Holdings LLC and the Intermediate Subsidiaries exceed the Closing Cash Amount (it being understood that such special distributions shall be only for such excess); provided, further, that, for purposes of determining the Group Expenses actually paid, (x) any routine fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the existence and operation of the Intermediate Subsidiaries and (y) any fees, costs and other expenses incurred solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Restructuring Agreement consummated prior to, or immediately following, the Merger Closing Date, shall, in each case, be included in the calculation thereof, irrespective of whether such fees, costs or expenses constitute “Group Expenses”.  “Closing Cash Amount” means the aggregate value of the unrestricted cash and cash equivalents held by AOH, OCG and the Intermediate Subsidiaries immediately prior to the closing of the Merger. For the avoidance of doubt, the Closing Cash Amount excludes cash and cash equivalents (if any) contributed or paid by Brookfield and its Affiliates. Upon request, AOH, OCG, Atlas Holdings LLC, or such Intermediate Subsidiary, as applicable, shall provide OCGH with reasonable supporting materials regarding such Group Expenses, including a certification from an officer of AOH, OCG, Atlas Holdings LLC, or such Intermediate Subsidiary, as applicable, that such information is complete and accurate in all material respects.
(d)    For the avoidance of doubt, any special distribution made pursuant to Section 4.03(a), 4.03(b) or 4.03(c) shall be in addition to, and shall not count towards determining the amounts distributable to the Brookfield LPs pursuant to Section 4.01, and no corresponding distribution shall be made to OCGH or the other holders of Oaktree Operating Group Units.
SECTION 4.04      Tax Indemnity. To the extent not reserved for on the consolidated balance sheet of OCG as of the Merger Closing Date, OCGH shall indemnify Brookfield and its Affiliates for the Applicable Percentage of any taxes (other than payroll taxes and other employee-related taxes), including interest and penalties, of the Oaktree Operating Group Member and their Subsidiaries for taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Merger Closing Date (the “Tax Indemnity”). Any damages to which Brookfield and its Affiliates are entitled under the Tax Indemnity shall be solely recoverable by an offset against distributions otherwise payable to OCGH pursuant to this Agreement and the operating agreements of the Other OpCos. For all purposes of this Agreement, OCGH shall be treated as having received a distribution in an amount equal to such recoverable damages. The “Applicable Percentage” shall be equal to the difference between (a) OCGH’s economic percentage interest in the Oaktree Operating Group immediately prior to the closing of the Merger and (b) OCGH’s economic percentage interest in the Oaktree Operating Group immediately after the closing of the Merger (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement). The Tax Indemnity shall survive until 60 calendar days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.
SECTION 4.05      Liquidation Distribution. Distributions made upon dissolution of the Partnership shall be made as provided in Section 9.03.
SECTION 4.06      Limitations on Distribution. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the General Partner shall not make a Partnership distribution to any Partner if such distribution would violate Section 17-607 of the Act or other applicable Law.
ARTICLE V    

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS;
TAX ALLOCATIONS; TAX MATTERS
SECTION 5.01      Initial Capital Contributions. The Partners have made, on or prior to the date hereof, Capital Contributions and have acquired the number of Units as specified in the books and records of the Partnership.
SECTION 5.02      No Additional Capital Contributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Article V, no Partner shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership without the consent of such Partner or be permitted to make additional capital contributions to the Partnership without the consent of all Partners.
SECTION 5.03      Capital Accounts. A separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) shall be established and maintained for each Partner in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). The Capital Account of each Partner shall be credited with such Partner’s Capital Contributions, if any, all Profits allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.04 and any items of income or gain which are specially allocated pursuant to Section 5.05; and shall be debited with all Losses allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.04, any items of loss or deduction of the Partnership specially allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.05, and all cash and the Carrying Value of any property (net of liabilities assumed by such Partner and the liabilities to which such property is subject) distributed by the Partnership to such Partner. Any references in any section of this Agreement to the Capital Account of a Partner shall be deemed to refer to such Capital Account as the same may be credited or debited from time to time as set forth above. In the event of any transfer of any interest in the Partnership in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred interest.
SECTION 5.04      Allocations of Profits and Losses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Profits and Losses (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain or loss or deduction of the Partnership) shall be allocated in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Partner after giving effect to the Special Allocations set forth in Section 5.05 is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to (a) the distributions that would be made pursuant to Article IV if the Partnership were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Carrying Value, all Partnership liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each non-recourse liability to the Carrying Value of the assets securing such liability) and the net assets of the Partnership were distributed to the Partners pursuant to this Agreement, minus (b) such Partner’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets. The General Partner shall make such adjustments to Capital Accounts as it determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate to ensure allocations are made in accordance with a partner’s interest in the Partnership.
SECTION 5.05      Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article V:
(a)    Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain or Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined in accordance with the principles of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(d) and 1.704-2(i)) during any Partnership taxable year, the Partners shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to their respective shares of such net decrease during such year, determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 5.05(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in such Treasury Regulations Sections and shall be interpreted consistently therewith; including that no chargeback shall be required to the extent of the exceptions provided in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4).
(b)    Qualified Income Offset. If any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the deficit balance in such Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account Balance created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as promptly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.05(b) shall be made only to the extent that a Partner would have a deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.05(b) were not in this Agreement. This Section 5.05(b) is intended to comply with the “qualified income offset” requirement of the Code and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(c)    Gross Income Allocation. If any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Partner is obligated to restore, if any, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.05(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that a Partner would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been tentatively made as if Section 5.05(b) and this Section 5.05(c) were not in this Agreement.
(d)    Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Total Percentage Interests.
(e)    Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the liability to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(j).
(f)    Creditable Foreign Taxes. Creditable Foreign Taxes for any taxable period attributable to the Partnership, or an entity owned directly or indirectly by the Partnership, shall be allocated to the Partners in proportion to the partners’ distributive shares of income (including income allocated pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code) to which the Creditable Foreign Tax relates (under principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.904-6). The provisions of this Section 5.05(f) are intended to comply with the provisions of Temporary Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1T(b)(4)(xi), and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(g)    Ameliorative Allocations. Any special allocations of income or gain pursuant to Sections 5.05(b) or 5.05(c) shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations pursuant to Section 5.04 and this Section 5.05(g), so that the net amount of any items so allocated and all other items allocated to each Partner shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Partner if such allocations pursuant to Sections 5.05(b) or 5.05(c) had not occurred.
SECTION 5.06      Tax Allocations. For income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as the corresponding items of Profits and Losses and specially allocated items are allocated for Capital Account purposes; provided that in the case of any asset the Carrying Value of which differs from its adjusted tax basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall be allocated solely for income tax purposes in accordance with the principles of Sections 704(b) and (c) of the Code (as determined by the General Partner and permitted by the Code and Treasury Regulations) so as to take account of the difference between Carrying Value and adjusted basis of such asset; provided, further, that the Partnership shall use the traditional method (as such term is defined in Treas. Reg. section 1.704-3(b)(1)) for all Section 704(c) and “reverse Section 704(c)” allocations. The General Partner shall make such adjustments to Capital Accounts as it determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate to ensure allocations are made in accordance with a partner’s interest in the Partnership.
SECTION 5.07      Tax Advances. To the extent the General Partner reasonably believes that the Partnership is required by law to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Partner or the Partnership is subjected to tax itself by reason of the status of any Partner (“Tax Advances”), the General Partner may withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as so required. All Tax Advances made on behalf of a Partner shall be repaid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Partner or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Partner. For all purposes of this Agreement such Partner shall be treated as having received the amount of the distribution that is equal to the Tax Advance.
SECTION 5.08      Tax Matters.
(a)    With respect to periods prior to January 1, 2018, the “tax matters partner” of the Partnership, within the meaning of Section 6231 of the Code (the “Tax Matters Partner”), shall represent the Partnership (at the Partnership’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Partnership’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting judicial and administrative proceedings, and shall expend the Partnership funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. With respect to periods from and after January 1, 2018, the “partnership representative” of the Partnership, within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code (the “Partnership Representative”) shall represent the Partnership (at the Partnership’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Partnership’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting judicial and administrative proceedings, and shall expend the Partnership funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. The Tax Matters Partner and the Partnership Representative, as applicable, shall oversee the Partnership tax affairs in the overall best interests of the Partnership. The General Partner is hereby designated as the initial Tax Matters Partner and the initial Partnership Representative; provided that the General Partner may designate another Partner (with such Partner’s consent) to be the Tax Matters Partner or another Person (with such Person’s consent) to be the Partnership Representative.
(b)    At all times during the continuance of the Partnership, the Partnership shall prepare and maintain separate books of account for the Partnership in accordance with GAAP. The Partnership shall file as a partnership for federal, state and local income tax purposes, except where otherwise required by Law. All elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership, and all other tax decisions and determinations relating to federal, state or local tax matters of the Partnership, shall be made by the Tax Matters Partner or the Partnership Representative, as applicable, in consultation (as and to the extent necessary) with the Partnership’s attorneys or accountants; provided that the Partnership Representative shall, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, make a “push-out” election under Section 6226 of the Code (and any similar or comparable provisions of state or local Law) with respect to any tax actions, examinations or proceedings relating to the Partnership (a “Partnership Tax Audit”) and take all actions necessary or appropriate to give effect to such an election and each Partner agrees to (i) fully cooperate with the Partnership and the Partnership Representative in connection with such election and (ii) pay all liabilities attributable to such Partner as the result of such election. The Tax Matters Partner or the Partnership Representative, as applicable, shall keep the other Partners reasonably informed as to any Partnership Tax Audit and shall submit to the other Partners, for their review and comment, any settlement or compromise offer with respect to any disputed item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Partnership. As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Partnership shall send to each Partner a copy of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Schedule K-1, and any comparable statements required by applicable state or local income tax Law, with respect to such Fiscal Year. The Partnership also shall provide the Partners with such other information as may be reasonably requested for purposes of allowing the Partners (or the direct or indirect owners of the Partners) to prepare and file their own tax returns.
SECTION 5.09      Other Allocation Provisions.
(a)    Certain of the foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such regulations. Sections 5.03, 5.04 and 5.05 may be amended at any time by the General Partner if necessary, in the opinion of an independent tax counsel chosen by mutual agreement of the Brookfield Member and OCGH, to comply with such regulations, so long as any such amendment does not materially change the relative economic interests of the Partners.
(b)    No income of the Partnership will be allocated for U.S. federal income tax purposes to any Notes Issuer in excess of the sum of the Periodic Yield and Miscellaneous Amounts distributed to such Notes Issuer pursuant to Section 4.02(b).
(c)    The debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership will be allocated, to the extent permitted under Section 752 of the Code, in a manner that minimizes the gain recognized by any Partner under Section 731 of the Code, as reasonably agreed by OCGH and the Brookfield Member.
SECTION 5.10      Adjustment to Membership Interests. If the Total Percentage Interests of the holders of the Brookfield-Owned Units or OCGH-Owned Units changes during a Fiscal Year for any reason (including as part of an Exchange Transaction), the allocations of taxable income or loss to each Partner shall be adjusted as necessary to reflect the varying interests of the members during such year as of the date of such change using an interim closing of the books method under Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder or any other method mutually agreed by OCGH and the Brookfield Member.

(i)    first, to the satisfaction of debts and liabilities of the Partnership (including satisfaction of all indebtedness to Partners and their Affiliates to the extent otherwise permitted by Law and including any Group Expenses (as defined in the Cash Distribution Policy)), including the expenses of liquidation, and including the establishment of any reserve which the Liquidation Agent shall deem reasonably necessary for any contingent, conditional or unmatured contractual liabilities or obligations of the Partnership (“Contingencies”). Any such reserve may be paid over by the Liquidation Agent to any attorney-at-law, or acceptable party, as escrow agent, to be held for disbursement in payment of any Contingencies and, at the expiration of such period as shall be deemed advisable by the Liquidation Agent for distribution of the balance in the manner hereinafter provided in this Section 9.03; and
(ii)    the balance, if any, to the Partners, pro rata to each of the Partners in accordance with their Total Percentage Interests, but subject to Sections 4.02, 4.03 and 4.04 in respect of apportionment.
SECTION 9.04      Time for Liquidation. A reasonable amount of time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Partnership and the discharge of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Liquidation Agent to minimize the losses attendant upon such liquidation.
SECTION 9.05      Termination. The Partnership shall terminate when all of the assets of the Partnership, after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership, shall have been distributed to the holders of Units in the manner provided for in this Article IX, and the Certificate shall have been cancelled in the manner required by the Act.
SECTION 9.06      Claims of the Partners. The Partners shall look solely to the Partnership’s assets for the return of their Capital Contributions, and if the assets of the Partnership remaining after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership are insufficient to return such Capital Contributions, the Partners shall have no recourse against the Partnership or any other Partner or any other Person. No Partner with a negative balance in such Partner’s Capital Account shall have any obligation to the Partnership or to the other Partners or to any creditor or other Person to restore such negative balance during the existence of the Partnership, upon dissolution or termination of the Partnership or otherwise, except to the extent required by the Act.
SECTION 9.07      Survival of Certain Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of Section 10.01 and Section 11.10 shall survive the termination of the Partnership.
ARTICLE X    

EXCULPATION, INDEMNIFICATION, ADVANCES AND INSURANCE
SECTION 10.01      Exculpation, Indemnification, Advances and Insurance. Subject to other applicable provisions of Section 4.04, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law:
(a)    none of the Partners or their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to the Partnership, any Subsidiary of the Partnership, any other Partner or any holder of an equity interest in any Subsidiary of the Partnership, for any act or omission, including any mistake of fact or error in judgment, taken, suffered or made;
(b)    an Officer of the Partnership shall have liability to the Partnership, any Subsidiary of the Partnership, any Partner or any holder of an equity interest in any Subsidiary of the Partnership, for any act or omission, including any mistake of fact or error in judgment, taken, suffered, or made only if such act or omission constitutes a breach of the duties of such Officer imposed pursuant to Section 3.04(f) and such breach is the result of (i) willful malfeasance, gross negligence, the commission of a felony or a material violation of applicable Law (including any federal or state securities Law), in each case, that has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material adverse effect on the business or properties of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) fraud;
(c)    all other Indemnified Persons shall have liability to the Partnership, any Subsidiary of the Partnership, any Partner or any holder of an equity interest in any Subsidiary of the Partnership, for any act or omission arising from (i) the performance of such Indemnified Person’s duties and obligations in connection with the Partnership, any Subsidiary of the Partnership, or pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) or in connection with any investment made or held by the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership, including with respect to any act or omission made while serving at the request of the Partnership as an officer, director, member, partner, tax matters partner, fiduciary or trustee of another Person or any employee benefit plan, including any mistake of fact or error in judgment, taken, suffered or made only if such act or omission constitutes a breach of the duties of such Indemnified Person and such breach is the result of (A) willful malfeasance, gross negligence, the commission of a felony or a material violation of applicable Law (including any federal or state securities Law), in each case, that has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material adverse effect on the business or properties of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) fraud; and
(a)    an OCGH Indemnitee shall have liability to the Partnership, any Subsidiary of the Partnership, any Partner (other than OCGH) or any holder of an equity interest in any Subsidiary of the Partnership (other than OCGH), for any act or omission taken on behalf of the Partnership, any Subsidiary of the Partnership, AOH, OCG, any Oaktree Operating Group Member, or any Subsidiary of any Oaktree Operating Group Member only if such act or omission is the result of (i) willful malfeasance, gross negligence, the commission of a felony or a material violation of applicable Law (including any federal or state securities Law), in each case, that had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a material and adverse effect on the business or properties of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) fraud.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 10.01 are intended and shall be interpreted as only limiting the liability of an Indemnified Person and not as in any way expanding such Person’s liability. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 10.01 is intended to create any fiduciary duties for any Person.
(b)    The following Persons shall be indemnified by the Partnership, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, against all expenses and liabilities (including judgments, fines, penalties, interest, amounts paid in settlement with the approval of the Partnership and counsel fees and disbursements) arising from (i) with respect to the Indemnified Persons: (x) the performance of any of their respective duties or obligations in connection with their respective service to the Partnership, to any Subsidiary of the Partnership or pursuant to this Agreement, or (y) or in connection with any investment made or held by the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) with respect to the OCGH Indemnitees: (x) authorized actions taken at the request and on the behalf of the Oaktree Business, or, provided that such OCGH Indemnitee was acting in good faith within the scope of such OCGH Indemnitee’s authority at the relevant time, actions for the benefit of the Oaktree Business (as opposed to internal matters between or among OCGH Indemnitees that are unrelated to the operations of the Oaktree Business) or (y) being a named defendant in an action (1) against AOH, OCG, any Oaktree Operating Group Member, or any Subsidiary of any Oaktree Operating Group Member, or (2) primarily related to the operations of the Oaktree Business, if, in the case of each of clauses (1) and (2), the applicable OCGH Indemnitee has been, in the determination of the Brookfield Member and the Oaktree Member (as defined in the AOH Operating Agreement), acting reasonably, wrongly named in such action, and including, in all such cases described in this Section 10.01(e), in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other action, suit or proceeding, whether by or in the right of the Partnership, to which any such Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee may hereafter be made party by reason of being or having been an Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee, except:
(i)    with respect to any Partner or Officer, to the extent that it shall have been determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court or arbitral panel of competent jurisdiction that such expenses and liabilities arose primarily from acts or omissions, including any mistake of fact or error in judgment, taken, suffered or made, that constituted a breach of the duties of such Partner or Officer imposed pursuant to Section 3.04(f) and such breach was the result of (A) willful malfeasance, gross negligence, the commission of a felony or a material violation of applicable Law (including any federal or state securities Law), in each case, that resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material adverse effect on the business or properties of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) fraud;
(ii)    with respect to all Indemnified Persons (other than the Officers or the Partners and their respective Affiliates), to the extent that it shall have been determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court or arbitral panel of competent jurisdiction that such expenses and liabilities arose primarily from acts or omissions, including any mistake of fact or error in judgment, taken, suffered or made, that constituted a breach of the duties of such Indemnified Person and such breach was the result of (A) willful malfeasance, gross negligence, the commission of a felony or a material violation of applicable Law (including any federal or state securities Law), in each case, that resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material adverse effect on the business or properties of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) fraud; and
(iii)    with respect to the OCGH Indemnitees, to the extent that it shall have been determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court or arbitral panel of competent jurisdiction that such expenses and liabilities arose primarily from acts or omissions taken on behalf of the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership and such act or omission is the result of (A) willful malfeasance, gross negligence, the commission of a felony or a material violation of applicable Law (including any federal or state securities Law), in each case, that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a material and adverse effect on the business or properties of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) fraud.
Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnified Person, pursuant to a loan, guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership (including any indebtedness which the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership has assumed or taken subject to), and the Partnership or any Subsidiary is hereby authorized and empowered to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 10.01 in favor of any Indemnified Person having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. It is the intention of this Section 10.01 that the Partnership indemnify each Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee, as applicable, to the fullest extent permitted by Law except as specifically provided in this Section 10.01.
(c)    The termination of any action, suit or proceeding relating to or involving an Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee breached any duty or committed (i) willful malfeasance, gross negligence, a felony or a material violation of applicable Law (including any federal or state securities Law) that has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material adverse effect on the business or properties of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) fraud.
(d)    The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent they limit or eliminate the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee otherwise existing at law or in equity, including Sections 3.04(f) and Section 3.04(g), are agreed by each Partner to modify such duties and liabilities of such Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee to the extent permitted by Law.
(e)    Any indemnification under this Section 10.01 (unless ordered by a court or arbitral panel of competent jurisdiction) shall be made by the Partnership unless the Partners determine in the specific case that indemnification of the Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee is not proper in the circumstances because such Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 10.01(e). Such determination shall be made by a majority vote of the Partners who are not parties to the applicable suit, action or proceeding. To the extent, however, that an Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee in connection therewith, notwithstanding an earlier determination by the Partners that the Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee had not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 10.01(e).
(f)    Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 10.01(h), and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any Indemnified Person may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Section 10.01(e). The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because such Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 10.01(e). Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 10.01(h) nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.01(i) shall be given to the Partnership promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.
(g)    To the fullest extent permitted by Law, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Partnership as authorized in this Section 10.01.
(h)    The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Section 10.01 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under this Agreement or any other agreement, vote of Partners or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnified Person or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee is indemnified. The provisions of this Section 10.01 shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any Person who is not specified in Section 10.01(e) but whom the Partnership has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Act.
(i)    The Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee against any liability asserted against such Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee and incurred by such Indemnified Person in any capacity in which such Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, or arising out of such Indemnified Person’s or OCGH Indemnitee’s status as such, whether or not the Partnership would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee against such liability under the provisions of this Section 10.01.
(j)    The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 10.01 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.01.
(k)    The Partnership may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Partners, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Partnership and to the employees and agents of the Partnership similar to those conferred in this Section 10.01 to Indemnified Persons.
(l)    If this Section 10.01 or any portion of this Section 10.01 shall be invalidated on any ground by a court or arbitral panel of competent jurisdiction, the Partnership shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee, as applicable, as to expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including a grand jury proceeding or action or suit brought by or in the right of the Partnership, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 10.01 that shall not have been invalidated.
(m)    Each Indemnified Person may, in the performance of such Indemnified Person’s duties, consult with legal counsel and accountants, and any act or omission by such Indemnified Person on behalf of the Partnership, any Subsidiary of the Partnership or any investment held by the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership in furtherance of the interests of the Partnership, any Subsidiary of the Partnership or any investment held by the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership in good faith in reliance upon, and in accordance with, the advice of such legal counsel or accountants will be full justification for any such act or omission, and such Indemnified Person will be fully protected for such acts and omissions, provided that such legal counsel or accountants were selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Partnership or such Subsidiary.
(n)    An Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 10.01 because the Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
(o)    Any liabilities which an Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee incurs as a result of authorized acts taken on behalf of the Partnership (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation, administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, penalties assessed by the U.S. Department of Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise) shall be treated as liabilities indemnifiable under this Section 10.01, to the maximum extent permitted by Law.
(p)    The General Partner shall, in the performance of its duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Partnership and on such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Partnership by any of the Officers or employees of the Partnership, or by any other Person as to matters the General Partner reasonably believes are within such Person’s professional or expert competence.
(q)    Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 10.01 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of any Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee under this Section 10.01 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted and provided such Person became an Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee hereunder prior to such amendment, modification or repeal.
(r)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.01, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, to the extent that an Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified by, or receive advancement of expenses from, the Partnership hereunder, (i) the Partnership and the Other OpCo Members shall be the indemnitors of first resort (i.e., their obligations to such Indemnified Person are primary and any obligations of any Partner or pursuant to any other agreement, as applicable (in such capacity, the “Indemnitor Member”), to provide indemnification or advancement for the same loss or damage incurred by such Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee are secondary); (ii) if an Indemnitor Member pays or causes to be paid, for any reason, any amounts that should or could have been paid by the Partnership, then (A) such Indemnitor Member shall be fully subrogated to all rights of the relevant Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee with respect to such payment and (B) each relevant Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee shall assign to the Indemnitor Members all of such Indemnified Person’s or OCGH Indemnitee’s rights to advancement or indemnification with respect to such payment from or with respect to the Partnership; (iii) the Partnership hereby waives any and all rights of subrogation with respect to payments of indemnification or advancement of expenses against the Indemnitor Members or any insurer thereof; and (iv) the obligations of the Partnership pursuant to the terms hereof are secondary relative to any corresponding obligations of any investment vehicles, Investment Funds or Portfolio Companies. In addition, in the event that a Person could be either an Indemnified Person or an OCGH Indemnitee in the case of a matter for which indemnification or liability may be sought under this Section 10.01, then in each such case, such Person shall be considered to be an Indemnified Person hereunder for such matter.
(s)    Prior to making any payment to an OCGH Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 10.01, notice of such payment, along with reasonably supporting details regarding the nature of the obligation giving rise to such payment, as well as the underlying claim, shall be given to the Board of Directors.
The provisions of this Section 10.01 shall survive the termination of this Agreement with respect to the acts and omissions of an Indemnified Person or OCGH Indemnitee occurring prior to such termination.

SECTION 11.13      Arbitration of Disputes.

(“JAMS”) pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. A party hereto may commence the arbitration process by filing a written demand for arbitration with JAMS and delivering a copy of such demand to the other party or parties to the arbitration in accordance with the notice procedures set forth in Section 11.01. The arbitration shall take place in Wilmington, Delaware, and shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect at the time of filing of the demand for arbitration. The parties to the arbitration shall cooperate with JAMS and with each other in selecting an arbitrator from JAMS’ panel of neutrals and in scheduling the arbitration proceedings. The arbitrator selected shall be neutral and a former Delaware chancery court judge or, if such judge is not available, a former U.S. federal judge with experience in adjudicating matters under the law of the State of Delaware; provided that if no such person is both willing and able to undertake such a role, the parties to the arbitration shall cooperate with each other and JAMS in good faith to select such other person as may be available from a JAMS’ panel of neutrals with experience in adjudicating matters under the law of the State of Delaware. The parties to the arbitration shall participate in the arbitration in good faith. Each party to the arbitration shall pay those costs, if any, of arbitration that it must pay to cause this Section 11.13 to be enforceable, and all other costs of arbitration shall be shared equally between the parties to the arbitration.

To the extent permitted by law, the arbitrator shall have the power to order injunctive relief, and shall expeditiously act on any petition for such relief.
The provisions of this Section 11.13 may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, and, to the extent permitted by law, the party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses incurred in enforcing this Section 11.13, including attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any party to an arbitration pursuant to this Section 11.13 shall be entitled to seek a restraining order or injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent any violation of the provisions of this Agreement pending a final determination on the merits by the arbitrator, and each party hereby consents that such a restraining order or injunction may be granted without the necessity of posting any bond.
The details of any arbitration pursuant to this Section 11.13, including the existence and outcome of such arbitration and any information obtained in connection with any such arbitration, shall be kept strictly confidential and shall not be disclosed or discussed with any person not a party to the arbitration; provided that such party may make such disclosures as are required by applicable law or legal process; provided, further, that such party may make such disclosures to its, his or her attorneys, accountants or other agents and representatives who reasonably need to know the disclosed information in connection with any arbitration pursuant to this Section 11.13 and who are obligated to keep such information confidential to the same extent as such party. If a party to an arbitration receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party that seeks disclosure of any information that is required to be kept confidential pursuant to the prior sentence, or otherwise believes that it, he or she may be required to disclose any such information, such party shall (a) promptly notify the other party to the arbitration and (b) reasonably cooperate with such other party in taking any legal or otherwise appropriate actions, including the seeking of a protective order, to prevent the disclosure, or otherwise protect the confidentiality, of such information.
For the avoidance of doubt, (a) any arbitration pursuant to this Section 11.13 shall not include any disputes, claims or controversies that do not arise out of or relate to this Agreement, and (b) any arbitration pursuant to this Section 11.13 of disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement is intended to be separate and distinct proceeding from any arbitration or other adjudication of disputes, claims or controversies between parties to this Agreement that do not arise out of or relate to this Agreement.
SECTION 11.14      Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy by any party shall not preclude or waive its right to use any or all other remedies. Said rights and remedies are given in addition to any other rights the parties may have by Law.
SECTION 11.15      Expenses. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, the Partnership shall be responsible for all costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with its operation.

ARTICLE II
TERMS, RIGHTS, POWERS, PREFERENCES AND DUTIES OF SERIES A
PREFERRED MIRROR UNITS
Section 2.1 Designation. The Series A Preferred Mirror Units are hereby designated and created as a series of Preferred Units. Each Series A Preferred Mirror Unit shall be identical in all respects to every other Series A Preferred Mirror Unit. There is authorized for issuance an unlimited number of Series A Preferred Mirror Units. As of any date of determination, the Total Percentage Interest as to any Series A Mirror Holder in its capacity as such with respect to Series A Preferred Mirror Units shall be 0% as such term applies to all Limited Partners; provided, however, that when such term is used to only apply to Series A Mirror Holders, “Total Percentage Interest” shall mean, with respect to any holder of Series A Preferred Mirror Units in its capacity as such as of any date, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the number of Series A Preferred Mirror Units held by such holder on such date relative to the aggregate number of Series A Preferred Mirror Units Outstanding as of such date. The Capital Account balance of a Limited Partner with respect to each Series A Preferred Mirror Unit held by such Limited Partner shall equal the Liquidation Preference per Series A Preferred Mirror Unit as of the date such Series A Preferred Mirror Unit is initially issued and shall be increased as set forth in Section 2.6. The General Partner may cause the Partnership to, from time to time, without notice to or consent of the Series A Mirror Holders or holders of other Parity Units, issue additional Series A Preferred Mirror Units.
Section 2.2 Distributions.
(a)The Series A Mirror Holders shall be entitled to receive with respect to each Series A Preferred Mirror Unit owned by such holder, when, as and if declared by the General Partner, in its sole discretion out of funds legally available therefor, non-cumulative quarterly cash distributions, on the applicable Distribution Payment Date that corresponds to the Record Date for which the General Partner has declared a distribution, if any, in an amount equal to the product of (i) 25% and (ii) the rate per annum equal to the Series A Mirror Distribution Rate (subject to Section 2.5 of this Unit Designation) and (iii) the Series A Mirror Liquidation Preference. Such distributions shall be non-cumulative. Distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Mirror Units for any period less than a full Distribution Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Declared distributions will be payable by the relevant Distribution Payment Date to Series A Mirror Holders as they appear on the Partnership’s register at the close of business, New York City time, on a Series A Mirror Record Date, provided that if the Series A Mirror Record Date is not a Business Day, the declared distributions will be payable by the relevant Distribution Payment Date to Series A Mirror Holders as they appear on the Partnership’s register at the close of business, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding such Series A Mirror Record Date.
(b)So long as any Series A Preferred Mirror Units are outstanding, for any then-current Distribution Period, unless distributions have been declared and paid or declared and set apart for payment on (i) the Series A Preferred Mirror Units or (ii) the OCG Series A Preferred Units, then, in each case for such then-current Distribution Period only, the Partnership may not repurchase its Common Units or any Junior Units and may not declare or pay or set apart payment for distributions on its Junior Units, other than, in each case, any Oaktree I Permitted Distribution, or repurchases or distributions the proceeds of which are used, directly or indirectly, to effect any Oaktree I Permitted Distribution.

(c)
The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, choose to pay distributions on the Series A Preferred Mirror Units without the payment of any distributions on any Junior Units.
(d)
When distributions are not declared and paid (or duly provided for) on any Distribution Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Units having distribution payment dates different from the Distribution Payment Dates pertaining to the Series A Preferred Mirror Units, on a distribution payment date falling within the related Distribution Period) in full upon the Series A Preferred Mirror Units or any Parity Units, all distributions declared upon the Series A Preferred Mirror Units and all such Parity Units payable on such Distribution Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Units having distribution payment dates different from the Distribution Payment Dates, on a distribution payment date falling within the related Distribution Period) shall be declared pro rata so that the respective amounts of such distributions shall bear the same ratio to each other as all declared and unpaid distributions per Unit on the Series A Preferred Mirror Units and all unpaid distributions, including any accumulations, on all Parity Units payable on such Distribution Payment Date (or in the case of Parity Units having distribution payment dates different from the Distribution Payment Dates pertaining to the Series A Preferred Mirror Units, on a distribution payment date falling within the related Distribution Period) bear to each other.
(e)
No distributions may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Series A Preferred Mirror Units if at the same time any arrears exist or default exists in the payment of distributions on any outstanding Units ranking, as to the payment of distributions and distribution of assets upon a Dissolution Event, senior to the Series A Preferred Mirror Units, subject to any applicable terms of such outstanding Units.
(f)
Series A Mirror Holders shall not be entitled to any distributions, whether payable in cash or property, other than as provided in this Unit Designation and shall not be entitled to interest, or any sum in lieu of interest, in respect of any distribution payment, including any such payment which is delayed or foregone.
(g)
The Partnership and Limited Partners intend that no portion of the distributions paid to the Series A Mirror Holders pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be treated as a “guaranteed payment” within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, and the Partnership and Series A Mirror Holders shall not take any position inconsistent with such intention, except if there is a change in applicable law or final determination by the Internal Revenue Service that is inconsistent with such intention.
Section 2.3 Rank. The Series A Preferred Mirror Units shall rank, with respect to payment of distributions and distribution of assets upon a Dissolution Event:
(a)
junior to all of the Partnership’s existing and future indebtedness and any equity securities, including Preferred Units, that the Partnership may authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such securities shall rank senior to the Series A Preferred Mirror Units with respect to payment of distributions and distribution of assets upon a Dissolution Event;
(b)
equally to any Parity Units; and
(c)
senior to any Junior Units.
Section 2.4 Optional Redemption.

(b)
If OCG redeems the OCG Series A Preferred Units pursuant to (i) a Change of Control Event then the Partnership may, in the General Partner’s sole discretion, redeem the Series A Preferred Mirror Units, in whole but not in part, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to $25.25 per Series A Preferred Mirror Unit plus an amount equal to the declared and unpaid distributions on such Series A Preferred Mirror Units; (ii) a Series A Tax Event then the Partnership may, in the General Partner’s sole discretion, redeem the Series A Preferred Mirror Units, in whole but not in part, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to $25.50 per Series A Preferred Mirror Unit plus an amount equal to the declared and unpaid distributions on such Series A Preferred Mirror Units; and (iii) a Rating Agency Event then the Partnership may, in the General Partner’s
sole discretion, redeem the Series A Preferred Mirror Units, in whole but not in part, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to $25.50 per Series A Preferred Mirror Unit plus an amount equal to the declared and unpaid distributions on such Series A Preferred Mirror Units.
(c)
Without limiting clause (b) of this Section 2.4, if the Partnership shall deposit, on or prior to any date fixed for redemption of Series A Preferred Mirror Units, with any bank or trust company as a trust fund, or in an account for the benefit of and/or Controlled by the General Partner or the Partnership, a fund sufficient to redeem the Series A Preferred Mirror Units called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions and authority to such bank or trust company (if applicable) to pay on and after the date fixed for redemption or such earlier date as the General Partner may determine, to the respective Series A Mirror Holders, the redemption price thereof, then from and after the date of such deposit (although prior to the date fixed for redemption) such Series A Preferred Mirror Units so called shall be deemed to be redeemed and such deposit shall be deemed to constitute full payment of said Series A Preferred Mirror Units to the holders thereof and from and after the date of such deposit said Series A Preferred Mirror Units shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and the holders thereof shall cease to be holders of Units with respect to such Series A Preferred Mirror Units, and shall have no rights with respect thereto under this Unit Designation, the Partnership Agreement or otherwise, except only the right to receive from said bank or trust company, or such account for the benefit of and/or Controlled by the General Partner or the Partnership, on the redemption date or such earlier date as the Partnership may determine, payment of the redemption price of such Series A Preferred Mirror Units without interest.
(d)
The Series A Mirror Holders shall have no right to require redemption of any Series A Preferred Mirror Units.
Section 2.5. Series A Mirror Distribution Rate. If the distribution rate per annum on the OCG Series A Preferred Units issued by OCG shall increase pursuant to Section 2.5 of the OCG Series A Preferred Unit Designation, then the Series A Mirror Distribution Rate shall increase by the same amount beginning on the same date as set forth in Article 2 of the OCG Series A Preferred Unit Designation.
Section 2.6 Allocations. Before giving effect to the allocations set forth in Article V of the Partnership Agreement, Gross Ordinary Income for the Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated pro rata to the holders of Series A Preferred Mirror Units in accordance with each holder’s Total Percentage Interest with respect to their Series A Preferred Mirror Units in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the amount of cash distributed with respect to the Series A Preferred Mirror Units pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Unit Designation during such Fiscal Year and (ii) the excess, if any, of the amount of cash distributed with respect to the Series A Preferred Mirror Units pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Unit Designation in all prior Fiscal Years over the amount of Gross Ordinary Income allocated to the Series A Mirror Holders pursuant to this Section 2.6 in all prior Fiscal Years. To the extent there is insufficient Gross Ordinary Income for a fiscal year to allocate to the Series A Mirror Holders pursuant to the prior sentence and to the holders of any other Parity Units, Gross Ordinary Income shall be allocated to the Series A Mirror Holders and holders of Parity Units for such fiscal year on a pro rata basis based on the amount of distributions paid in respect of the Series A Preferred Mirror Units and such Parity Units, respectively in such fiscal year.
Section 2.7 Voting.
Notwithstanding any provision in the Partnership Agreement or the Act to the contrary, and except as set forth in this Section 2.7, the Series A Preferred Mirror Units shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other voting, consent or approval rights or powers, and the vote, consent or approval of the Series A Mirror Holders shall not be required for the taking of any Partnership action or inaction.
Section 2.8 Liquidation Rights.
(a) Upon any Dissolution Event, after payment or provision for the liabilities of the Partnership (including the expenses of such Dissolution Event) and the satisfaction of all claims ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Mirror Units in accordance with Section 9.03 of the Partnership Agreement, the Series A Mirror Holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Partnership or proceeds thereof available for distribution to the Limited Partners, before any payment or distribution of assets is made in respect of Junior Units, distributions equal to the lesser of (x) the Series A Mirror Liquidation Preference and (y) the positive balance in their Capital Accounts (to the extent such positive balance is attributable to ownership of the Series A Preferred Mirror Units and after taking into account allocations of Gross Ordinary Income to the Series A Mirror Holders pursuant to Section 2.6 of this Unit Designation for the taxable year in which the Dissolution Event occurs) pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Partnership Agreement, pro rata based on the full respective distributable amounts to which each Series A Mirror Holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 2.8(a).
(b)
Upon a Dissolution Event, after each Series A Mirror Holder receives a payment equal to the positive balance in its Capital Account (to the extent such positive balance is attributable to ownership of the Series A Preferred Mirror Units and after taking into account allocations of Gross Ordinary Income to the Series A Mirror Holders pursuant to Section 2.6 for the taxable year in which the Dissolution Event occurs), such Series A Mirror Holder shall not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Partnership.
(c)
If the assets of the Partnership available for distribution upon a Dissolution Event are insufficient to pay in full the aggregate amount payable to the Series A Mirror Holders and the holders of all other outstanding Parity Units, if any, such assets shall be distributed to the Series A Mirror Holders and the holders of such Parity Units pro rata, based on the full respective distributable amounts to which each such Limited Partner is entitled pursuant to this Section 2.8.
(d)
Nothing in this Section 2.8 shall be understood to entitle the Series A Mirror Holders to be paid any amount upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event until holders of any classes or series of Units ranking, as to the distribution of assets upon a Dissolution Event, senior to the Series A Preferred Mirror Units have been paid all amounts to which such classes or series of Units are entitled.
(e)
For the purposes of this Section 2.8, a Dissolution Event shall not be deemed to have occurred in connection with (i) a Substantially All Merger or a Substantially All Sale whereby a member of the Oaktree Operating Group is the surviving Person or the Person formed by such transaction and has expressly assumed all of the obligations under the Series A Preferred Mirror Units, (ii) the sale or disposition of the Partnership (whether by merger, consolidation or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets) if such sale or disposition is not a Substantially All Merger or Substantially All Sale, (iii) the sale or disposition of the Partnership should the Partnership not constitute a “significant subsidiary” of OCG under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC, (iv) an event where the OCG Series A Preferred Units have been fully redeemed pursuant to the terms of the OCG Operating Agreement or if proper notice of redemption of the OCG Series A Preferred Units has been given and funds sufficient to pay the redemption price for all of the OCG Series A Preferred Units called for redemption have been set aside for payment pursuant to the terms of the OCG Operating Agreement, (v) transactions where the assets of the Partnership, in connection with its liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, are immediately contributed to another member of the Oaktree Operating Group that expressly assumes all the obligations under the Series A Preferred Mirror Units, and (vi) with respect to the Partnership, a Permitted Transfer or a Permitted Reorganization (any of (i) through (vi), a “Dissolution Exception”).

ARTICLE II
TERMS, RIGHTS, POWERS, PREFERENCES AND DUTIES OF SERIES B
PREFERRED MIRROR UNITS
Section 2.1 Designation. The Series B Preferred Mirror Units are hereby designated and created as a series of Preferred Units. Each Series B Preferred Mirror Unit shall be identical in all respects to every other Series B Preferred Mirror Unit. There is authorized for issuance an unlimited number of Series B Preferred Mirror Units. As of any date of determination, the Total Percentage Interest as to any Series B Mirror Holder in its capacity as such with respect to Series B Preferred Mirror Units shall be 0% as such term applies to all Partners; provided, however, that when such term is used to only apply to Series B Mirror Holders, “Total Percentage Interest” shall mean, with respect to any holder of Series B Preferred Mirror Units in its capacity as such as of any date, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the number of Series B Preferred Mirror Units held by such holder on such date relative to the aggregate number of Series B Preferred Mirror Units Outstanding as of such date. The Capital Account balance of a Limited Partner with respect to each Series B Preferred Mirror Unit held by such Limited Partner shall equal the Liquidation Preference per Series B Preferred Mirror Unit as of the date such Series B Preferred Mirror Unit is initially issued and shall be increased as set forth in Section 2.6. The General Partner may cause the Partnership to, from time to time, without notice to or consent of the Series B Mirror Holders or holders of other Parity Units, issue additional Series B Preferred Mirror Units.
Section 2.2 Distributions.
(a)The Series B Mirror Holders shall be entitled to receive with respect to each Series B Preferred Mirror Unit owned by such holder, when, as and if declared by the General Partner, in its sole discretion out of funds legally available therefor, non-cumulative quarterly cash distributions, on the applicable Distribution Payment Date that corresponds to the Record Date for which the General Partner has declared a distribution, if any, in an amount equal to the product of (i) 25% and (ii) the rate per annum equal to the Series B Mirror Distribution Rate (subject to Section 2.5 of this Unit Designation) and (iii) the Series B Mirror Liquidation Preference. Such distributions shall be non-cumulative. Distributions payable on the Series B Preferred Mirror Units for the Distribution Period commencing on August 9, 2018 for any period less than a full Distribution Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Declared distributions will be payable by the relevant Distribution Payment Date to Series B Mirror Holders as they appear on the Partnership’s register at the close of business, New York City time, on a Series B Mirror Record Date, provided that if the Series B Mirror Record Date is not a Business Day, the declared distributions will be payable by the relevant Distribution Payment Date to Series B Mirror Holders as they appear on the Partnership’s register at the close of business, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding such Series B Mirror Record Date.
(b)So long as any Series B Preferred Mirror Units are outstanding, for any then-current Distribution Period, unless distributions have been declared and paid or declared and set apart for payment on (i) the Series B Preferred Mirror Units or (ii) the OCG Series B Preferred Units, then, in each case for such then-current Distribution Period only, the Partnership may not repurchase its Common Units or any Junior Units and may not declare or pay or set apart payment for distributions on its Junior Units, other than, in each case, any Oaktree I Permitted Distribution, or repurchases or distributions the proceeds of which are used, directly or indirectly, to effect any Oaktree I Permitted Distribution.

(c)
The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, choose to pay distributions on the Series B Preferred Mirror Units without the payment of any distributions on any Junior Units.
(d)
When distributions are not declared and paid (or duly provided for) on any Distribution Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Units having distribution payment dates different from the Distribution Payment Dates pertaining to the Series B Preferred Mirror Units, on a distribution payment date falling within the related Distribution Period) in full upon the Series B Preferred Mirror Units or any Parity Units, all distributions declared upon the Series B Preferred Mirror Units and all such Parity Units payable on such Distribution Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Units having distribution payment dates different from the Distribution Payment Dates, on a distribution payment date falling within the related Distribution Period) shall be declared pro rata so that the respective amounts of such distributions shall bear the same ratio to each other as all declared and unpaid distributions per Unit on the Series B Preferred Mirror Units and all unpaid distributions, including any accumulations, on all Parity Units payable on such Distribution Payment Date (or in the case of Parity Units having distribution payment dates different from the Distribution Payment Dates pertaining to the Series B Preferred Mirror Units, on a distribution payment date falling within the related Distribution Period) bear to each other.
(e)
No distributions may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Series B Preferred Mirror Units if at the same time any arrears exist or default exists in the payment of distributions on any outstanding Units ranking, as to the payment of distributions and distribution of assets upon a Dissolution Event, senior to the Series B Preferred Mirror Units, subject to any applicable terms of such outstanding Units.
(f)
Series B Mirror Holders shall not be entitled to any distributions, whether payable in cash or property, other than as provided in this Unit Designation and shall not be entitled to interest, or any sum in lieu of interest, in respect of any distribution payment, including any such payment which is delayed or foregone.
(g)
The Partnership and Limited Partners intend that no portion of the distributions paid to the Series B Mirror Holders pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be treated as a “guaranteed payment” within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, and the Partnership and Series B Mirror Holders shall not take any position inconsistent with such intention, except if there is a change in applicable law or final determination by the Internal Revenue Service that is inconsistent with such intention.
Section 2.3 Rank. The Series B Preferred Mirror Units shall rank, with respect to payment of distributions and distribution of assets upon a Dissolution Event:
(a)
junior to all of the Partnership’s existing and future indebtedness and any equity securities, including Preferred Units, that the Partnership may authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such securities shall rank senior to the Series B Preferred Mirror Units with respect to payment of distributions and distribution of assets upon a Dissolution Event;
(b)
equally to any Parity Units; and
(c)
senior to any Junior Units.
Section 2.4 Optional Redemption.
(a)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Unit Designation, at any time or from time to time on or after September 15, 2023, subject to any limitations that may be imposed by law, the Partnership may, in its sole discretion, redeem the Series B Preferred Mirror Units, out of funds legally available therefor, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation Preference per Series B Preferred Mirror Unit plus an amount equal to declared and unpaid distributions, if any, from the Distribution Payment Date immediately preceding the redemption date to, but excluding, the redemption date.
(b)
If OCG redeems the OCG Series B Preferred Units pursuant to (i) a Change of Control Event then the Partnership may, in the General Partner’s sole discretion, redeem the Series B Preferred Mirror Units, in whole but not in part, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to $25.25 per Series B Preferred Mirror Unit plus an amount equal to the declared and unpaid distributions on such Series B Preferred Mirror Units; (ii) a Series B Tax Event then the Partnership may, in the General Partner’s sole discretion, redeem the Series B Preferred Mirror Units, in whole but not in part, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to $25.50 per Series B Preferred Mirror Unit plus an amount equal to the declared and unpaid distributions on such Series B Preferred Mirror Units; and (iii) a Rating Agency Event then the Partnership may, in the General Partner’s sole discretion, redeem the Series B Preferred Mirror Units, in whole but not in part, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to $25.50 per Series B Preferred Mirror Unit plus an amount equal to the declared and unpaid distributions on such Series B Preferred Mirror Units.
(c)
Without limiting clause (b) of this Section 2.4, if the Partnership shall deposit, on or prior to any date fixed for redemption of Series B Preferred Mirror Units, with any bank or trust company as a trust fund, or in an account for the benefit of and/or Controlled by the General Partner or the Partnership, a fund sufficient to redeem the Series B Preferred Mirror Units called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions and authority to such bank or trust company (if applicable) to pay on and after the date fixed for redemption or such earlier date as the General Partner may determine, to the respective Series B Mirror Holders, the redemption price thereof, then from and after the date of such deposit (although prior to the date fixed for redemption) such Series B Preferred Mirror Units so called shall be deemed to be redeemed and such deposit shall be deemed to constitute full payment of said Series B Preferred Mirror Units to the holders thereof and from and after the date of such deposit said Series B Preferred Mirror Units shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and the holders thereof shall cease to be holders of Units with respect to such Series B Preferred Mirror Units, and shall have no rights with respect thereto under this Unit Designation, the Partnership Agreement or otherwise, except only the right to receive from said bank or trust company, or such account for the benefit of and/or Controlled by the General Partner or the Partnership, on the redemption date or such earlier date as the Partnership may determine, payment of the redemption price of such Series B Preferred Mirror Units without interest.
(d)
The Series B Mirror Holders shall have no right to require redemption of any Series B Preferred Mirror Units.
Section 2.5. Series B Mirror Distribution Rate. If the distribution rate per annum on the OCG Series B Preferred Units issued by OCG shall increase pursuant to Section 2.5 of the OCG Series B Preferred Unit Designation, then the Series B Mirror Distribution Rate shall increase by the same amount beginning on the same date as set forth in Article 2 of the OCG Series B Preferred Unit Designation.
Section 2.6 Allocations. Before giving effect to the allocations set forth in Article V of the Partnership Agreement, Gross Ordinary Income for the Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated pro rata to the holders of Series B Preferred Mirror Units in accordance with each holder’s Total Percentage Interest with respect to their Series B Preferred Mirror Units in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the amount of cash distributed with respect to the Series B Preferred Mirror Units pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Unit Designation during such Fiscal Year and (ii) the excess, if any, of the amount of cash distributed with respect to the Series B Preferred Mirror Units pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Unit Designation in all prior Fiscal Years over the amount of Gross Ordinary Income allocated to the Series B Mirror Holders pursuant to this Section 2.6 in all prior Fiscal Years. To the extent there is insufficient Gross Ordinary Income for a fiscal year to allocate to the Series B Mirror Holders pursuant to the prior sentence and to the holders of any other Parity Units, Gross Ordinary Income shall be allocated to the Series B Mirror Holders and holders of Parity Units for such fiscal year on a pro rata basis based on the amount of distributions paid in respect of the Series B Preferred Mirror Units and such Parity Units, respectively in such fiscal year.
Section 2.7 Voting.
Notwithstanding any provision in the Partnership Agreement or the Act to the contrary, and except as set forth in this Section 2.7, the Series B Preferred Mirror Units shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other voting, consent or approval rights or powers, and the vote, consent or approval of the Series B Mirror Holders shall not be required for the taking of any Partnership action or inaction.
Section 2.8 Liquidation Rights.
(a) Upon any Dissolution Event, after payment or provision for the liabilities of the Partnership (including the expenses of such Dissolution Event) and the satisfaction of all claims ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Mirror Units in accordance with Section 9.03 of the Partnership Agreement, the Series B Mirror Holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Partnership or proceeds thereof available for distribution to the Limited Partners, before any payment or distribution of assets is made in respect of Junior Units, distributions equal to the lesser of (x) the Series B Mirror Liquidation Preference and (y) the positive balance in their Capital Accounts (to the extent such positive balance is attributable to ownership of the Series B Preferred Mirror Units and after taking into account allocations of Gross Ordinary Income to the Series B Mirror Holders pursuant to Section 2.6 of this Unit Designation for the taxable year in which the Dissolution Event occurs) pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Partnership Agreement, pro rata based on the full respective distributable amounts to which each Series B Mirror Holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 2.8(a).
(b)
Upon a Dissolution Event, after each Series B Mirror Holder receives a payment equal to the positive balance in its Capital Account (to the extent such positive balance is attributable to ownership of the Series B Preferred Mirror Units and after taking into account allocations of Gross Ordinary Income to the Series B Mirror Holders pursuant to Section 2.6 for the taxable year in which the Dissolution Event occurs), such Series B Mirror Holder shall not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Partnership.
(c)
If the assets of the Partnership available for distribution upon a Dissolution Event are insufficient to pay in full the aggregate amount payable to the Series B Mirror Holders and the holders of all other outstanding Parity Units, if any, such assets shall be distributed to the Series B Mirror Holders and the holders of such Parity Units pro rata, based on the full respective distributable amounts to which each such Limited Partner is entitled pursuant to this Section 2.8.
(d)
Nothing in this Section 2.8 shall be understood to entitle the Series B Mirror Holders to be paid any amount upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event until holders of any classes or series of Units ranking, as to the distribution of assets upon a Dissolution Event, senior to the Series B Preferred Mirror Units have been paid all amounts to which such classes or series of Units are entitled.
(e)
For the purposes of this Section 2.8, a Dissolution Event shall not be deemed to have occurred in connection with (i) a Substantially All Merger or a Substantially All Sale whereby a member of the Oaktree Operating Group is the surviving Person or the Person formed by such transaction and has expressly assumed all of the obligations under the Series B Preferred Mirror Units, (ii) the sale or disposition of the Partnership (whether by merger, consolidation or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets) if such sale or disposition is not a Substantially All Merger or Substantially All Sale, (iii) the sale or disposition of the Partnership should the Partnership not constitute a “significant subsidiary” of OCG under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC, (iv) an event where the OCG Series B Preferred Units have been fully redeemed pursuant to the terms of the OCG Operating Agreement or if proper notice of redemption of the OCG Series B Preferred Units has been given and funds sufficient to pay the redemption price for all of the OCG Series B Preferred Units called for redemption have been set aside for payment pursuant to the terms of the OCG Operating Agreement, (v)
transactions where the assets of the Partnership, in connection with its liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, are immediately contributed to another member of the Oaktree Operating Group that expressly assumes all the obligations under the Series B Preferred Mirror Units, and (vi) with respect to the Partnership, a Permitted Transfer or a Permitted Reorganization (any of (i) through (vi), a “Dissolution Exception”).
(f)
In the event that the Partnership liquidates, dissolves or winds up, including a Dissolution Event, the Partnership shall not declare or pay or set apart payment on its Junior Units unless the outstanding liquidation preference on all outstanding Series B Preferred Mirror Units shall have been repaid via redemption or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such limitation shall apply to or upon (i) a Dissolution Exception or (ii) an event where the OCG Series B Preferred Units have been fully redeemed pursuant to the terms of the OCG LLC Agreement or if proper notice of redemption of the OCG Series B Preferred Units has been given and funds sufficient to pay the redemption price for all of the OCG Series B Preferred Units called for redemption have been set aside by or on behalf of OCG for payment pursuant to the terms of the OCG Operating Agreement.
