SALE, ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION

SECTION 2.1 SALE.

(a) The Senior Manager and/or Transferor, as applicable, hereby sells and transfers to APO Corp. and APO Asset Co., free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances, the Transferred Points, it being understood that the Transferred Points relating to general partner carried interests in private equity Funds will be purchased by APO Asset Co. and the remaining Transferred Points will be purchased by APO Corp.

(b) Concurrently with the delivery of this Agreement to the Senior Manager, each of APO Corp. and APO Asset Co. shall pay the Senior Manager and/or Transferor, as applicable, the total purchase price for the Transferred Points set forth in Item II(a) on Annex A hereto by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Senior Manager and/or Transferor, as applicable.

SECTION 2.2 ASSIGNMENT. The Senior Manager and/or Transferor, as applicable, hereby assigns, transfers, conveys and delivers to Holdings each of the Senior Manager’s Contributed Points, together with all associated rights, privileges, restrictions and obligations related to the Contributed Points, with effect as of the Effective Date. Each Contributed Point is transferred and assigned to Holdings, free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances. Each of the Senior Manager and Holdings acknowledges and agrees that upon such event, a member of the Apollo Operating Group shall be substituted in place of the Senior Manager and/or the Transferor(s), as applicable, as a limited partner of the applicable management company or general partner of the Fund with respect to each Contributed Point, and such member of the Apollo Operating Group shall be recorded on the books and records of the applicable

management company or general partner of the Funds as the owner of such Contributed Points with effect as of the Effective Date, and the Senior Manager and/or the Transferor(s), as applicable, shall thereafter be released from all obligations arising in respect of such Contributed Points.

SECTION 2.3 ASSUMPTION. Holdings hereby accepts the assignment of the Contributed Points and hereby agrees to assign such Contributed Points to a member of the Apollo Operating Group and cause a member of the Apollo Operating Group to (a) become a substitute limited partner in the applicable management company or general partner of the Funds with respect to the Contributed Points in the place and instead of the Senior Manager and/or the Transferor(s), as applicable, and to join in and be bound by all of the terms of the applicable governing documents, and (b) undertake and agree to comply with and be bound by all of the obligations associated with each Contributed Point from and after the Effective Date.

SECTION 2.4 CONTRIBUTION. The transfer of the Contributed Points shall be deemed a contribution of capital to Holdings by the Senior Manager and/or the Transferor(s), as applicable, with respect to the Senior Manager’s and/or any Transferor’s (as applicable) resulting limited partner interest in Holdings.

SECTION 2.5 INTEREST RECEIVED. In exchange for the Senior Manager’s and/or any Transferor’s (as applicable) contribution of the Contributed Points to Holdings, the Senior Manager and each Transferor shall become a Limited Partner and receive a limited partnership interest in Holdings. A portion of such limited partnership shall be a capital interest and a portion of it shall be a profits interest (within the meaning of IRS Revenue Procedures 93-27 and 2001-43), as set forth in the Holdings LPA. The Senior Manager’s and the Transferor(s)’s, as applicable, initial Ownership Percentage is set forth on Annex A.

SECTION 2.6 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

(a) The terms of this Agreement shall not in any way affect the ownership of interests in any Subsidiary or with respect to any Fund that are not Contributed Points or Transferred Points, and the Senior Manager and/or the Transferor(s), as applicable, shall continue to receive the benefits and burdens of ownership in the manner provided for in the existing arrangements without regard to the terms of this Agreement. In addition, the terms of this Agreement shall not affect or alter the terms of the existing letter agreements of the Senior Manager and the general partners of the Funds and the management companies with respect to the Retained Points (including, without limitation, with respect to the Retained Points, the terms of vesting and acceleration of vesting, definitions of “net management fee income” and “cause” and rights upon retirement without cause, breaches of Fund VI carry vehicle or management company agreements or policies and any remedies therefor) or the provisions regarding monthly draw or office location. However, this Agreement will supersede any “existing” letter agreements with respect to the Contributed Points and the Transferred Points, and the Senior Manager acknowledges that (i) he and his Group no longer have any interests with respect to the Contributed Points (other than through their ownership interests in Holdings and in accordance with Section 2.7 below) or the Transferred Points, (ii) he and his Group do not, and will not, have (other than through their ownership interests in Holdings and in accordance with Section 2.7 below) any carried interest, performance interest or management fee interest in the Funds

identified on Annex A except as set forth in Column B on Annex A and (iii) he and his Group do not, and will not, have any interest in the capital markets Funds going forward (other than through their ownership interests in Holdings). Furthermore, the Senior Manager hereby acknowledges that he and his Group will continue to honor any and all capital commitments made to any Fund or co-investment vehicle formed to invest in any Fund.

(b) The number of Retained Points that have time vested as of the date hereof shall be proportional to the number of total points held by the Senior Manager and his Group that have vested as of the date hereof. For example, if immediately prior to this Agreement, the Senior Manager was 36 months vested in his Fund VI GP “points,” then the Senior Manager and his Group shall be 36 months vested in their Retained Points in Fund VI GP. Vesting of Retained Points will continue pursuant to the existing agreements.

SECTION 2.7 2007 PROFITS. The total income earned with respect to 2007, will be apportioned for various periods and paid in the same manner as such income is apportioned and paid with respect to the Principals in accordance with the Strategic Agreement.

SECTION 2.8 FUND VII. The Senior Manager (and certain members of his Group designated by the Senior Manager) will be issued the points in the Fund VII GP as set forth on Annex A. The Senior Manager’s mandatory capital commitment (which may be shared with other members of his Group) to the Fund VII co-investment vehicle (which will be substantially the same as a Fund VI co-investment vehicle) shall be determined by Apollo and shall not exceed the product of (x) the total capital commitment required to be made by the general partner of Fund VII and its Affiliates and (y) a fraction, the numerator being the points issued to the Senior Manager and his Group in the Fund VII GP (as shown on Annex A) and the denominator being two thousand (2000). The Senior Manager will have a letter agreement with respect to Fund VII substantially similar to his Fund VI letter agreement, including, among other things, that the Senior Manager’s share of Fund VII net management fee income will be equal to the product of (x) the amount of such net management fee income available for distribution, as determined by Apollo in good faith, and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of points issued to the Senior Manager and his Group in the Fund VII GP (as shown on Annex A) and the denominator of which is two thousand (2000). To the extent that AP Alternative co-invests with Fund VII or is an investor in Fund VII, the Senior Manager (and certain members of his Group designated by the Senior Manager) will also be entitled to a pro rata portion of the carried interest of AP Alternative in a manner economically consistent with the arrangements in Fund VI. To the extent practicable, the arrangements with the Senior Manager with respect to Fund VII shall be made such that the Senior Manager would be able to make, under current law, and, at his election, a Section 83(b) election under the Code. The Senior Manager understands and assumes the risk that (x) changes to the Code are currently being contemplated that may adversely affect the Senior Manager’s interests in Apollo and (y) existing tax laws may change or be interpreted or enforced differently in the future.

SECTION 2.9 AAA UNITS. Without the prior written consent of the Senior Manager, for any given year, the Senior Manager and his Group will not receive a greater percentage of their net management fee income in the form of AAA Units than the percentage of their net management fee income that the other Senior Executives and their Groups and the Principals and their Groups receive in the form of AAA Units either through distributions or

purchases of such units. Each Person’s share of net management fee income shall equal his direct interest (based upon points in the most current principal private equity fund) and indirect interest (based upon his AOG Units and Class A Shares and the amount of net management fee income payable to the Apollo Operating Group).

ARTICLE III

OWNERSHIP, REGISTRATION RIGHTS, TAG ALONG RIGHTS

AND PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

SECTION 3.1 OWNERSHIP

(a) Holdings may hold interests in AOG Units or other securities indirectly through other Persons. In such instance, this Agreement will be construed as if Holdings held such securities directly and Holdings shall cause such other Persons to take any actions necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated herein.

SECTION 3.2 OWNERSHIP PERCENTAGE ADJUSTMENTS

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Exchange directed (or in the case of an Approved Sale, deemed to be directed) by the Senior Manager pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof, the Pecuniary Interest in AOG Units owned by the Senior Manager and his Group shall be decreased by the number of AOG Units Exchanged. Upon the occurrence of an Exchange directed by BRH or any other Limited Partner, BRH’s or such other Limited Partner’s Pecuniary Interest in AOG Units shall be decreased by the number of AOG Units Exchanged.

(b) Holdings shall track all transfers (including transfers that constitute Exchanges) of AOG Units by the Senior Manager and his Group to any Person that is not the Senior Manager or a member of his Group in a tracking account and the total sum of such transfers for the Senior Manager and his Group at any given time shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Transferred Interests”. Any transfer under an Approved Sale under Section 5.2 shall not be included as a Transferred Interest.

(c) Upon the termination of the Senior Manager’s service as a partner by an Apollo Service Recipient (such that he is no longer providing services as a partner to, or employed by, any Apollo Service Recipient), the Ownership Percentage of the Senior Manager and his Group shall be adjusted in accordance with Article IV.

SECTION 3.3 TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement (including with respect to vesting), the Holdings LPA, the Shareholders Agreement, the Exchange Agreement, any applicable lock-up agreement (provided that any applicable lock-up agreement shall not be any more restrictive on the Senior Manager and his Group than it is on the Principals and other Senior Executives and their Groups) and applicable law, the Senior Manager shall have the right to cause Holdings to effect, at any time and from time to time, on one or more occasions, an Exchange with respect to all or a portion of the Pecuniary Interest in AOG Units owned by the Senior Manager or members of his Group; provided, however, that any Exchange at the direction

of the Senior Manager must be for at least the lesser of (1) AOG Units with an aggregate market price of at least $25,000, or (2) all AOG Units owned by the Senior Manager and his Group. The proceeds from any Exchange by the Senior Manager and/or the other members of his Group, net of all selling expenses (other than selling expenses borne by Apollo pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement), shall be distributed by Holdings to the Senior Manager and/or the other members of his Group, depending on whose Pecuniary Interest in AOG Units was so exchanged. Upon the direction by the Senior Manager to effect an Exchange in compliance with this Agreement, Holdings shall be required to undertake an exchange, on a one-for-one basis (or at such other ratio as may be in effect under the Exchange Agreement), of an AOG Unit, on the one hand, for a Class A Share, on the other hand, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly consummate such Exchange; provided, however, that the parties acknowledge that one or more events, such as an underwriter cutback, the unavailability of a registration, the possession of material non-public information, or general market dislocation may affect the timing of a proposed sale or disposition of Class A Shares following an exchange, and accordingly, any Person that receives Class A Shares shall sell or dispose of such shares as promptly as practicable upon receipt thereof, taking into account the circumstances surrounding such proposed sale or disposition. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, at the option of the General Partner, in lieu of an Exchange, Holdings will make an In-Kind Exchange Distribution. No In-Kind Exchange Distribution may be made unless the recipient is already a party to the Exchange Agreement as an “Apollo Principal Holder” and a party to the Shareholders Agreement as a Shareholder (or becomes so upon or substantially simultaneous with such In-Kind Exchange Distribution). In addition, upon an In-Kind Exchange Distribution, the recipient shall exchange the AOG Units received for Class A Shares, as soon as possible, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement by the next Quarterly Exchange Date thereafter (as defined in the Exchange Agreement). The Senior Manager and his Group shall indemnify and hold harmless Holdings and the other Limited Partners from any liabilities or expenses (other than selling expenses borne by Apollo pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement) incurred in connection with such Exchange, other than with respect to any taxable income realized by such other Limited Partners as a result of the Exchange, or, in the case of a Pro Rata Exchange, to the extent attributable to the Senior Manager or a member of his Group. If the Senior Manager or a member of his Group requests an Exchange at least 60 days prior to the next Quarterly Exchange Date, then Holdings shall request an Exchange under the Exchange Agreement to cover such Exchange; provided, that if the General Partner elects to make an In-Kind Exchange Distribution in lieu of such Exchange, then the General Partner shall make such election and cause such In-Kind Exchange Distribution to occur in a manner that would permit the applicable notice provisions under the Exchange Agreement to be met in order for the Exchange to occur on the next Quarterly Exchange Date. In the event that Holdings is offered a “Sale Transaction” under Section 2.8 of the Exchange Agreement, Holdings will make available to the Senior Manager and his Group the opportunity to participate on a pro rata basis. Pro rata basis for this purpose shall mean pro rata in accordance with the Ownership Percentage of the Senior Manager and his Group.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holdings may not undertake an Exchange at the direction of the Senior Manager unless the vested portion of the Pecuniary Interest of the Senior Manager and his Group in AOG Units (calculated on a pro-forma basis assuming the Senior Manager voluntarily resigned immediately prior to such Exchange and such resignation constitutes a resignation under Section 4.1 hereof) is sufficient to cover the number of AOG

Units proposed to be Exchanged; provided however, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, unvested portions of Pecuniary Interests may be exchanged in connection with a transfer permitted pursuant to clauses (w), (y) or (z) of Section 4.3 or to permit the Senior Manager or a member of his Group to participate in a sale of Class A Shares issuable upon the Exchange in which a Principal (or a member of his Group) is selling and in which the Senior Manager (or a member of his Group) has rights to participate pursuant to the registration rights under Section 3.5, solely to the extent the vested portions have been exhausted and unvested Pecuniary Interests would be required to be exchanged in order for the Senior Manager and his Group to participate in a pro rata manner with such Principal and his Group.

(c) Neither the Senior Manager nor any Person controlled by the Senior Manager’s Group, shall own any Class A Shares other than (x) the Class A Shares received in an Exchange and then only to the extent provided in the Exchange Agreement, (y) Class A Shares issued to such Persons pursuant to equity incentive plans of Apollo and its Subsidiaries and (z) other Class A Shares acquired by such Persons with the prior written approval of the General Counsel of Apollo.

(d) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Senior Manager shall not direct Holdings to undertake an Exchange in violation of this Agreement or if such Exchange would violate Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

(e) Any redemption of AOG Units shall be offered to all Limited Partners and their Groups on a pro rata basis based on Ownership Percentages. A Limited Partner may request a Non-Pro Rata Exchange but may not request a Pro Rata Exchange.

(f) The Senior Manager shall cause his Group to take any action (or refrain from taking any action) reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.4 ALLOCATION OF ADJUSTMENTS. The members of the Senior Manager’s Group as of the date hereof (other than any such members described in clauses (i) through (vii) of the definition of “Group” in Section 1.1 who or which are not Transferors) are set forth on Schedule I hereto, which may be updated from time to time to reflect additional transfers to a Permitted Transferee that is a member of the Senior Manager’s Group. Any adjustment to the Senior Manager’s Pecuniary Interest in AOG Units pursuant to this Agreement shall be allocated among the members of the Senior Manager’s Group in a manner directed by the Senior Manager or absent such instructions, pro rata among the members of his Group based upon their relative interests in Holdings.

SECTION 3.5 REGISTRATION RIGHTS. In connection with the registration rights provided in the Shareholders Agreement, the Senior Manager and his Group will have the right to direct Holdings to exercise any of its rights under Article V of the Shareholders Agreement for the benefit of the Senior Manager or any member of his Group as if such Person were a Shareholder thereunder holding Registrable Securities then held by them or acquirable by them upon Exchange of their Pecuniary Interests. Any cutbacks shall be determined as provided in the Shareholders Agreement. If Holdings is the Selling Shareholder thereunder, cutbacks among the partners of Holdings (whether selling directly or indirectly through Holdings) will be determined pro rata as if each partner of Holdings participating in the applicable registration were a separate

Selling Shareholder thereunder. Decisions to be made under such Article V by a percentage of Shareholders or Selling Shareholders, including without limitation, any consent to the grant of preferential registration rights, will also be determined pro rata as if each partner of Holdings (and, with respect to BRH, each partner of BRH) were a separate Shareholder or Selling Shareholder, as applicable thereunder. Holdings agrees to give notification to the Senior Manager and member of his Group of the availability of any demand registrations, piggyback rights or other matters under Article V of the Shareholders Agreement in order to participate in a registration thereunder. References in such Article V to Section 2.2 of the Shareholders Agreement shall, with respect to the Senior Manager’s Group, refer to Section 4.3 of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.6 TAG ALONG RIGHTS.

(a) If any Principal Group (whether directly or through BRH) proposes to effect a Tag Along Transaction (the “Principal Sellers”), then at least fifteen (15) days prior to the anticipated date of consummation of such proposed Transfer, Apollo shall give written notice to the Senior Manager of such proposed Transfer setting forth a description of the material terms and conditions of the proposed Tag Along Transaction, including (i) the identity of the purchaser (such purchaser, the “Tag Along Purchaser”), (ii) the number and type of Apollo Securities the Principal Sellers propose to sell in the Tag Along Transaction and (iii) a description of the form and amount of consideration proposed to be paid for the Apollo Securities (or any Pecuniary Interest therein) in the Tag Along Transaction (the “Tag Along Notice”). If it is anticipated that the Senior Manager will participate in an Exchange pursuant to the Exchange Agreement at the time of a Tag Along Transaction, then the timing of the Tag Along Notice shall be equitably adjusted in a manner reasonably intended to afford the Senior Manager sufficient time to both exercise his rights under the Exchange Agreement and participate in the Tag Along Transaction.

(b) The Senior Manager may, by written notice to Apollo (“Tag Along Acceptance Notice”) delivered within ten (10) days after the date of the Tag Along Notice, elect to sell in such Tag Along Transaction the Apollo Securities held (directly or indirectly through their Pecuniary Interest) by the Senior Manager and his Group; provided, that the number of the Apollo Securities elected to be sold by the Senior Manager and his Group will not exceed the Senior Manager’s Proportionate Percentage (as calculated in accordance with Section 3.6(c) below) of the Apollo Securities proposed to be transferred by such Principal Sellers, after giving effect to any proposed reduction in the Apollo Securities to be Transferred by such Principal Sellers as a result of the exercise of tag along rights by the holders of the Notes (or Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes). The failure of the Senior Manager to respond within such ten (10) day period shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Senior Manager’s rights under this Section 3.6.

(c) For purposes of this Section 3.6, “Proportionate Percentage” means with respect to the Senior Manager, a fraction (expressed as a percentage), (i) the numerator of which is the number of Apollo Securities held (directly or indirectly through their Pecuniary Interests) by the Senior Manager and his Group immediately prior to the consummation of the Tag Along Transaction; and (ii) the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Apollo Securities held (directly or indirectly through their Pecuniary Interests) by the Principal Groups and all other Persons entitled to participate in the Tag Along Transaction (such as other Senior Executives, but

excluding the holders of the Notes (or Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes)) immediately prior to the consummation of the Tag Along Transaction. Transfers pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall first be satisfied with vested Apollo Securities but if all such Apollo Securities are to be sold in the Tag Along Transaction, may be satisfied with unvested Apollo Securities.

(d) If the Senior Manager or any members of his Group participates in the Tag Along Transaction, such participating Persons shall agree to be bound by substantially the same terms and conditions as the participating Principal Sellers, including making substantially the same representations and warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnities that the Principal Sellers agree to make.

SECTION 3.7 PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS.

(a) If Apollo or any of its Subsidiaries offers New Securities to a Principal Group or to any of its Affiliates (the aggregate number of New Securities being offered, the “New Issuance”) then, subject to the terms hereof, Apollo shall, before any sale of New Securities pursuant to such offer, deliver to the Senior Manager an offer (the “Preemptive Offer”) to issue to the Senior Manager, at the Senior Manager’s election, up to such number of New Securities equal to its Preemptive Proportionate Percentage of the New Issuance upon the terms set forth in this Section 3.7 (such New Securities, the “Senior Manager New Securities”), it being understood that if the Senior Manager accepts a Preemptive Offer in accordance with Section 3.7(b), the number of New Securities ultimately issued to the Principal Group or any of its Affiliates under this Section 3.7 shall equal the New Issuance less the applicable number of Senior Manager New Securities and other Apollo Securities issued pursuant to similar preemptive rights. The Preemptive Offer shall state (i) that Apollo proposes to issue the New Issuance and specify their number and terms (including the purchase price per New Security) and (ii) the Senior Manager’s Preemptive Proportionate Percentage. The Preemptive Offer shall remain open and be irrevocable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of its delivery (the “Preemptive Offer Period”). For purposes of this Section 3.7, “Preemptive Proportionate Percentage” means, with respect to the Senior Manager, a fraction (expressed as a percentage), (x) the numerator of which is the number of Class A Shares held by the Senior Manager’s Group immediately prior to the consummation of the New Issuance (calculated on an as-converted basis assuming all AOG Units covered by the Pecuniary Interest of the Senior Manager or his Group have been exchanged for Class A Shares irrespective of vesting) and (y) the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Class A Shares outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the New Issuance (calculated on a fully-diluted basis and assuming all AOG Units have been exchanged for Class A Shares).

(b) The Senior Manager (and/or members of his Group designated by the Senior Manager) may accept the Preemptive Offer by delivering to Apollo a notice (the “Purchase Notice”) within the Preemptive Offer Period. The Purchase Notice shall state the number of New Securities the Senior Manager desires to purchase which in no event may exceed its number of Senior Manager New Securities. The Purchase Notice shall be irrevocable, and the Senior Manager (and/or members of his Group designated by the Senior Manager) shall purchase the New Securities at the same time as the Principal Group(s) acquire the New Issuance less any portion of the New Issuance which the Senior Manager agreed to purchase pursuant to this Section 3.7 or other Persons agreed to acquire pursuant to other rights similar to those set forth in this Section 3.7.

SECTION 3.8 CERTAIN COVENANTS WITH RESPECT TO PRINCIPALS. Holdings and BRH agree that, unless the Senior Manager and his Group are given equivalent provisions, no modifications, waivers or additional agreements shall be made that benefit any Principal or a member of his Group (or in the case of clauses (iv) and (v), all Principals) (i) to Section 2.2 of the Shareholders Agreement that would permit Pecuniary Interests to be transferred at an earlier time or in a greater amount than would otherwise be permitted (including any change to the definition of IPO or the equivalent triggering event for the timing thereunder), (ii) to the terms of the Exchange Agreement that would permit more AOG Units to be exchanged or to be exchanged at an earlier time or that would permit AOG Units that were otherwise not exchangeable to be exchanged (including any change to the definition of IPO or the equivalent triggering event for the exchange right) or to permit more Class A Shares to be sold or to be sold at an earlier time or to permit Class A Shares to be sold that would otherwise not be permitted to be sold, (iii) to the registration rights provisions of Article V of the Shareholders Agreement, (iv) to the vesting provisions of the Pecuniary Interests of all of the Principals (and their respective Groups) that either accelerated vesting of Pecuniary Interests all of the Principals while they continue full time employment with Apollo or accelerated vesting upon death or disability, (v) to the restrictive covenants and limitations on outside activities (contained in Sections 1 and Section 6 of each Principal’s Employment Agreement) applicable to all of the Principals with respect to the scope of such covenants or limitations or the reduction of the restrictive period (but only if the reduction results in a restrictive period shorter than the restrictive period applicable to the Senior Manager), or (vi) to the Tax Receivables Agreement. Prior to the earlier of an IPO or the time as such Principal is no longer providing services as a partner to, or employed by, an Apollo Service Recipient, Apollo shall not, and shall not permit any Apollo Service Recipient to, amend or waive (a) the restrictive covenants and limitations on outside activities applicable to any Principal (as set forth in Sections 1 and 6 of such Principal’s Employment Agreement), or (b) the ownership restrictions in Section 2.3 of the Shareholders Agreement. The Senior Manager shall have the right, on his behalf and on behalf of his Group, to waive the rights afforded pursuant to this Section 3.8.

ARTICLE IV

VESTING; FORFEITURE; TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

SECTION 4.1 VESTING.

(a) The Pecuniary Interest in AOG Units owned by the Senior Manager and his Group shall be subject to vesting as provided in this Section 4.1.

(b) Upon the Senior Manager’s termination by an Apollo Service Recipient for Cause, or upon the Senior Manager’s resignation without Good Reason or retirement, the vested portion of the Pecuniary Interest in AOG Units owned by the Senior Manager and his Group shall equal (i) (x) the Senior Manager Group’s then current Pecuniary Interest in AOG Units plus the Senior Manager Group’s Transferred Interests (if any) multiplied by (y) the Senior Manager’s Applicable Fraction; minus (ii) the Senior Manager Group’s Transferred Interests; provided, however, that the vested portion shall not be less than zero.

(c) Upon a termination of the Senior Manager for death, by the Apollo Service Recipient due to Disability, by the Apollo Service Recipient without Cause (such that he is no longer providing services as a partner to, or employed by, any Apollo Service Recipient) or resignation by the Senior Manager for Good Reason, the vested portion of the Pecuniary Interest in AOG Units owned by the Senior Manager and his Group shall equal: (i) the product (such product, the “Partial Vested Amount”) of (x) the sum (such sum, the “Base Amount”) of the Senior Manager and his Group’s then-current Pecuniary Interest in AOG Units plus the Senior Manager Group’s Transferred Interests (if any), multiplied by (y) the Senior Manager’s Applicable Fraction; plus (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the difference between (x) the Base Amount and (y) the Partial Vested Amount; minus (iii) the Senior Manager Group’s Transferred Interests; provided, however, that the vested portion shall not be less than zero. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Senior Manager retires at a time that he could have resigned for Good Reason, he shall be deemed to have resigned for Good Reason for the purposes of this Section 4.1.

(d) In the event of: any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or reverse stock split; any merger, combination, consolidation, or other reorganization; any split-up, spin-off, or similar extraordinary dividend distribution in respect of the Class A Shares; or any similar extraordinary transaction, in each case that affects the AOG Units, the Board shall equitably and proportionately adjust the AOG Units to the extent necessary to preserve (but not increase) the Senior Manager Group’s rights with respect to such AOG Units immediately prior to such transaction or event. Any good faith determination by the Board as to whether an adjustment is required in the circumstances pursuant to this Section 4.1(d), and the extent and nature of any such adjustment, shall be conclusive and binding on all Persons.

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement constitutes a service commitment by the Senior Manager, affects the Senior Manager’s status as a service provider to Apollo Service Recipients who is subject to termination without Cause, confers upon the Senior Manager any right to remain in service to any Apollo Service Recipient or any of their respective Affiliates, interferes in any way with the right of any Apollo Service Recipient or any of their respective Affiliates at any time to terminate such services, or affects the right of any Apollo Service Recipient or any of their respective Affiliates to increase or decrease the Senior Manager’s other compensation or benefits. Nothing in this paragraph, however, is intended to adversely affect any independent contractual right of the Senior Manager without his consent thereto.

SECTION 4.2 FORFEITURE.

(a) Upon the Senior Manager’s (the “Forfeiting Senior Manager”) termination of services (such that he is no longer providing services as a partner to, or employed by, any Apollo Service Recipient) for any reason, the Pecuniary Interest in AOG Units then held by such Forfeiting Senior Manager and his Group pursuant to this Agreement that has not vested in accordance with Section 4.1 shall be forfeited (the “Forfeited Interests”) as of the applicable Forfeiture Date to BRH (or, at BRH’s discretion, the Apollo Operating Group). Upon the forfeiture of the Forfeited Interests, Pecuniary Interest in AOG Units of the Senior Manager and his Group shall be decreased by the Pecuniary Interest forfeited and, at BRH’s discretion, either

(i) BRH’s Pecuniary Interest in AOG Units shall be increased by the Forfeited Interests received or (ii) the Forfeited Interests will be transferred to the member of the Apollo Operating Group that issued such interests for cancellation.

SECTION 5.2 REQUIRED PARTICIPATION IN APPROVED SALES. At any time that BRH proposes a sale or other disposition of Holdings or any portion thereof, through a merger, reorganization, sale of limited partnership interests, asset sale or otherwise, to an unaffiliated third party (an “Approved Sale”), the Senior Manager and each member of his Group shall (i) consent to and raise no objections against the Approved Sale, (ii) if the Approved Sale is structured as a sale, contribution and/or exchange or issuance of the limited partnership interests of Holdings (whether by merger, recapitalization, consolidation, transfer of limited partnership interests, or otherwise, as applicable), then the Senior Manager and each member of his Group shall waive any dissenters rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such Approved Sale and hereby agrees to vote in favor of such Approved Sale (as applicable), and (iii) the Senior Manager and each member of his Group shall agree to transfer his, her or its limited partnership interests on terms and conditions approved by BRH (subject to the provisos below), and hereby waives preemptive or other similar rights with respect to any issuance of limited partnership interests to be effected in connection herewith. The Senior Manager and each member of his Group shall take all necessary and desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale, including the execution of such agreements, including such instruments and other actions reasonably necessary to (1) provide the representations, warranties, indemnities, covenants, conditions, escrow agreements and other provisions and agreements relating to such Approved Sale and (2) if applicable, to effectuate the allocation and distribution of the aggregate consideration upon any Approved Sale as set forth below. Holdings shall provide the Senior Manager with written notice of any Approved Sale at least ten (10) days prior to the consummation thereof and the Senior Manager shall be obligated to participate in the Approved Sale with respect to the same percentage of his Pecuniary Interest as the Principal Groups collectively are participating with respect to their direct or indirect Pecuniary Interests in

such Approved Sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of the Senior Manager and each member of his Group to participate in any Approved Sale pursuant to this Section 5.2 is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) the Senior Manager and the other Limited Partners (including, indirectly, the Principals and the Principal Groups through their participation in BRH) shall be treated ratably with respect to the Pecuniary Interests so transferred, proceeds or other consideration of such Approved Sale, any hold-backs, and any related matters based upon Ownership Percentages, subject to any limitations set forth in the Holdings LPA, and (ii) in the event that the Limited Partners are required to provide any representations, warranties or indemnities in connection with an Approved Sale (other than representations, warranties and indemnities made on a several basis concerning each Limited Partner’s valid ownership of limited partnership interests, free of all liens and encumbrances, enforceability of transaction documents, and each Limited Partner’s authority, power, and right to enter into and consummate agreements relating to such Approved Sale without violating applicable law or any other agreement), then the Senior Manager and his Group shall not be liable for more than its pro rata amount (based upon Ownership Percentages) of any liability for misrepresentation or indemnity (except in respect of such several representations and warranties) and such liability shall not exceed the total purchase price received by the Senior Manager and his Group from such purchaser.

SECTION 5.3 OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES.

(a) While providing services to an Apollo Service Recipient, substantially all of the Senior Manager’s working time will be dedicated to Apollo and its Affiliates and the Senior Manager shall not provide business services to, or become employed by, a Person other than Apollo and its Subsidiaries without the prior written approval of the General Partner (other than activities that have been specifically approved by one or more of the Principals prior to the date hereof and other than business services provided to Portfolio Companies as a representative of Apollo or its Subsidiaries). Without the approval of the General Partner, the Senior Manager (an “Interested Party”) shall not at any time prior to the Senior Manager’s termination of with an Apollo Service Recipient, acquire a Financial Interest (as defined below) in (i) any Person in which any member of the Apollo Operating Group or any Subsidiary of the Apollo Operating Group holds an Investment or (ii) any potential Investment actively under consideration by any member of the Apollo Operating Group or any Subsidiary of the Apollo Operating Group. This provision shall not apply to any directors’ and other fees or equity incentives from or in a Portfolio Company that became a Portfolio Company as a result of an Investment made by any Fund prior to January 1, 2007 or to any other Financial Interest acquired prior to the date hereof or the date such Investment is first described by clauses (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence, provided, that the Senior Manager shall promptly disclose in writing such Financial Interests to Apollo and the General Partner. “Financial Interest” means the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities or the right to receive compensation as an officer, partner or employee in or from a Person. The foregoing limitation shall not apply to investments described in clause (ii) of Section 5.3(b), even if such funds or accounts invest in (i) any Person in which Apollo or any of its Subsidiaries or any Fund holds an investment interest or (ii) any potential investment actively under consideration by any member of the Apollo Operating Group or any Subsidiary of the Apollo Operating Group. Without the approval of the General Partner, prior to the Senior Manager’s termination of service as a partner with an Apollo Service Recipient, the Senior Manager shall not actively participate in the management of any business, other than (i) a

business of the Apollo Operating Group or a member or Subsidiary thereof or any Person in which a member or Subsidiary of the Apollo Operating Group holds an Investment on behalf of the Apollo Operating Group, (ii) a business described in clause (i) of Section 5.3(b), (iii) board level participation in a business described in clause (iv) of Section 5.3(b) and (iv) activities that have been specifically approved by one or more of the Principals prior to the date hereof. For avoidance of doubt, a “business” in the preceding sentence and the first sentence of this Section 5.3(a) shall not include volunteer work for any charitable, cultural, educational or philanthropic organization.

(b) At all times prior to the date that the Senior Manager is no longer serving as a partner or employee of any Apollo Service Recipient, the Senior Manager shall not make any personal investment in a Covered Investment other than:

(i) investments which are either (x) investments made (or legally committed to be made) on or prior to the date hereof without violating any existing duty to Apollo and its Affiliates or (y) follow-on investments to the investments described in clause (x) or investments made to refinance the investments described in clause (x);

(ii) passive investments in private equity funds, mutual funds, hedge funds and other managed accounts (but not investments in the manager of such funds or accounts) in which the Interested Party does not influence or control or have advance or contemporaneous knowledge of investment recommendations or decisions, even if such funds or accounts make investments similar to the Investments made by any Fund;

(iii) passive ownership of less than 5% of the outstanding publicly traded equity securities of any issuer;

(iv) investments in private companies equal to the lesser of (x) 10% of the outstanding equity securities of such private company and (y) $30 million per company or group of affiliated companies operating as part of one business;

(v) any other investment so long as (x) such investment has been previously disclosed to the General Partner, (y) the General Partner determines that the consummation of such investment by the Senior Manager is not prohibited by the governing documents of any Fund, and (z) the General Partner determines that (A) it is not advisable for any Fund to make such investment or (B) the investment does not comport with the intent of any Fund, and accordingly, the Senior Manager’s consummation of the investment does not raise any appearance of impropriety;

provided, however, that in no event shall the Senior Manager make any investment that conflicts with Apollo’s then-current code of ethics or any trading policies of Apollo (it being understood that the terms and restrictions of any such policy may be more restrictive than required by applicable law). Compliance with the code of ethics and any trading policy of Apollo will generally require disclosure of such potential personal investment to the general counsel of Apollo or his designee. Nothing contained in this Section 5.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall restrict or diminish (x) the Senior Manager’s disclosure obligations pursuant to the code of ethics of Apollo or as may otherwise be required to comply with applicable laws or (y) the Senior Manager’s obligations pursuant to any employment or service agreement with Apollo or its Subsidiaries.

(c) The Senior Manager hereby agrees to promptly disclose to Apollo and the General Partner any potential conflict of interest (as set forth in this Section 5.3) upon becoming consciously aware of such conflict or potential conflict.

(d) All directors’ and other fees or equity incentives payable to the Senior Manager by a Portfolio Company that became a Portfolio Company as a result of an Investment made by any Fund on or after January 1, 2007 (net of applicable taxes, if any) shall be transferred to Apollo or its designee without any additional consideration therefor.

SECTION 5.4 ACCESS TO BOOKS, RECORDS AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION. The Senior Manager shall have the right, upon reasonable request for purposes reasonably related to the interest of the Senior Manager as a partner of Holdings, to inspect, during normal business hours, Holdings’ books and records (including such financial and other information relating to Holdings or any other Person in which Holdings directly or indirectly owns an interest) for so long as the Senior Manager is a partner of Holdings; provided, however, that the General Partner shall have the right to keep confidential from the Senior Manager, for such period of time as the General Partner deems reasonable, any information which the General Partner reasonably believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information the disclosure of which the General Partner in good faith believes is not in the best interest of Holdings or could damage Holdings or its business or which Holdings is required by law or by agreement with a third party to keep confidential; provided, further, that the Senior Manager shall not have any right to inspect or review the Agreement Among Principals, any other Limited Partner’s roll-up agreement or similar agreement, or the Ownership Percentages of any other Limited Partner. All requests for information or access shall be made in writing and shall specify the reasons for such request. Holdings shall have twenty (20) Business Days to respond to such request (or such longer period as may be reasonable under the circumstances given the volume or complexity of the request). The Senior Manager shall reimburse Holdings for all reasonable expenses incurred by it in order to provide such information or access (including expenses necessary to provide such information or access in a manner that is prudent in order to protect the interests of Holdings and its Affiliates). Holdings shall have no obligation to generate information that does not exist nor organize information in a format that does not exist. Holdings shall not have to respond to more than one request in any thirty (30) day period made by the Senior Manager, provided that one request may include more than one deliverable. The rights of the Senior Manager pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall expire when the Senior Manager no longer owns an interest in Holdings. The Senior Manager acknowledges and agrees that he has bargained for and agreed to the provisions of this Section 5.4 and any other provisions of this Agreement which restrict access to information, that such provisions constitute a fundamental element of their agreement relating to the affairs of Holdings, that such provisions limit rights of inspection otherwise available to them and that such provisions are intended to be enforceable notwithstanding any rights of inspection otherwise available at law or in equity.

SECTION 5.5 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

(a) The Senior Manager will not disclose or use at any time, either prior to his termination or thereafter, any Confidential Information of which he is or becomes aware, whether or not such information is authored or developed by him, except to the extent that (i) such disclosure or use is directly related to and required by his performance of duties to Apollo or any of its Subsidiaries or any Portfolio Company, (ii) subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.9, to the extent that such disclosure is required in connection with any action by the Senior Manager to enforce rights under this Agreement or any other agreement with Holdings, Apollo or any of its Subsidiaries or any Portfolio Company, (iii) such disclosure is expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement or the Senior Manager has obtained the prior written consent of the General Partner (which consent may be granted or withheld by the General Partner), or (iv) such disclosure is legally required to be made; provided, in the case of clause (iv), that the Senior Manager shall provide ten (10) days prior written notice, if practicable, to Holdings of such disclosure so that Holdings may seek a protective order or similar remedy; and, provided, further, that, in each case set forth above, the Senior Manager informs the recipients that such information or communication is confidential in nature. The Senior Manager acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement and the provisions hereof constitute confidential information of Holdings and its Affiliates and that any documents, information or reports received by the Senior Manager from Holdings shall be treated as confidential and proprietary information of Holdings. The Senior Manager acknowledges that he has no right to information about a particular Portfolio Company or Fund except in his capacity as an investor in such Fund or director of such Portfolio Company.

(b) Any trade secrets of Holdings, Apollo or any of its Subsidiaries or any Portfolio Company will be entitled to all of the protections and benefits under any applicable law. If any information that Holdings deems to be a trade secret is found by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be a trade secret for purposes of this Agreement, such information will, nevertheless, be considered Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement. The Senior Manager hereby waives any requirement that Holdings submit proof of the economic value of any trade secret or post a bond or other security.

SECTION 5.6 RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.

(a) Prior to resigning from his partnership with any Apollo Service Recipient, the Senior Manager shall provide ninety (90) days notice to such Apollo Service Recipient.

Nothing in this paragraph applies to those investors, financing sources, capital market intermediaries or business relations who did not conduct business with Apollo, or its successors, assigns or Affiliates during the Senior Manager’s service as a partner to, or employment with, or the period in which the Senior Manager held, directly or indirectly, an ownership interest in, an Apollo Service Recipient, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates. For avoidance of doubt, identification of limited partners of any Fund with regard to activity that is not prohibited by Section 5.6(b) shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.6(d) or Section 5.5.

(e) The Senior Manager agrees that he shall not, whether during his service as partner or employment or thereafter, directly or indirectly, make or ratify any statement, public or private, oral or written, to any Person that disparages, either professionally or personally, Apollo or any of its Affiliates, past and present, and each of them, as well as its and their trustees, directors, officers, members, managers, partners, agents, attorneys, insurers, employees, stockholders, representatives, assigns, and successors, past and present, and each of them. Apollo agrees that it shall not, and it shall ensure that any Principal shall not, directly or indirectly, make or ratify any statement, public or private, oral or written, to any person that disparages the Senior Manager, either professionally or personally. The obligations under this paragraph shall not apply to disclosures compelled by applicable law or order of any court.

(f) The Senior Manager agrees and acknowledges that each restrictive covenant contained in this Section 5.6 is reasonable as to duration, terms and geographical area and that the same protects the legitimate interests of Holdings, Apollo and their respective Affiliates, imposes no undue hardship on the Senior Manager, is not injurious to the public, and that any violation of any of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 5.6 shall be

specifically enforceable in any court with jurisdiction upon short notice.

If the scope of any such provision, or any part thereof, is too broad to permit enforcement of such provision to its full extent, the Senior Manager agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of such provision, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, to the extent necessary to permit enforcement, and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced. The Senior Manager agrees and acknowledges that any such breach of any provision of this Section 5.6 will cause irreparable injury to Holdings, Apollo and their respective Affiliates and upon breach of any provision of this Section 5.6, Holdings or Apollo shall be entitled to injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable relief; provided, however, that this shall in no way limit any other remedies which Holdings or Apollo may have (including, without limitation, the right to seek monetary damages). Each of the covenants in this Section 5.6 shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provisions in the Agreement to which it is attached, other than the consideration for such covenant provided in the Agreement.

(g) The Senior Manager will cooperate in all reasonable respects with Apollo and its Affiliates in connection with any and all existing or future litigation, actions or proceedings (whether civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory or otherwise) brought by or against Apollo or any of its Affiliates, to the extent that Apollo reasonably deems the Senior Manager’s cooperation necessary.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no one shall divulge to any Person not directly involved in the arbitration the contents of the pleadings, papers, orders, hearings, trials, or awards in the arbitration, except as may be necessary to enter judgment upon an award or as required by applicable law. Any court proceedings relating to the arbitration hereunder, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to prevent or compel arbitration or to confirm, correct, vacate or otherwise enforce an arbitration award, shall be filed under seal with the court, to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 6.10 AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS; NO DISCRIMINATORY ACTION.

(a) The Agreement may be amended and the terms and conditions of the Agreement may be changed or modified at any time upon the approval, in writing, of the parties hereto (or their legal representative, if applicable); provided, however, that in the event that BRH or Holdings is liquidated or dissolved, the provisions hereof may be amended by the General Partner to account for such liquidation or dissolution without the consent of the Senior Manager or any member of his Group, so long as (i) such amended provisions are on substantially similar terms to those included herein and (ii) there is no adverse economic or tax consequence to the Senior Manager or any member of his Group. For all purposes of this Agreement, the consent of the Senior Manager (or his legal representative) shall be sufficient to bind the Senior Manager and all members of his Group.

(b) In addition to the provisions of Section 3.8, Apollo shall not permit the Shareholders Agreement or the Exchange Agreement to be amended in a manner that discriminates against the Senior Manager or his Group relative to the Principals and their Groups or the other Senior Executives and their Groups without first obtaining the consent of the Senior

Manager (or his legal representative). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Apollo acknowledges that the Senior Manager and his Group are third party beneficiaries of Section 7.2 of the Shareholders Agreement and such Section may not be amended or terminated in a manner that would adversely affect the Senior Manager and his Group without the prior consent of the Senior Manager (or his legal representative).

(c) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

(d) The Senior Manager, whether on his own behalf or on behalf of his Group, will not take any action as a stockholder, director, partner, member, officer or otherwise except in a manner that is consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and the Senior Manager shall not enter into any agreement or arrangement of any kind with any Person on terms inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement (whether or not such agreement or arrangement is with other Limited Partners, Permitted Transferees or with Persons that are not party to this Agreement). Each Permitted Transferee will not take any action as a stockholder, director, partner, member, officer or otherwise except in a manner that is consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and no Permitted Transferee shall enter into any agreement or arrangement of any kind with any Person on terms inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement (whether or not such agreement or arrangement is with a Limited Partner, any other Permitted Transferee or with Persons that are not party to this Agreement).

SECTION 6.11 ASSIGNMENT. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, that BRH may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to its limited partners at any time. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

SECTION 6.12 SPOUSAL CONSENT. If requested by Holdings, each Senior Manager or Permitted Transferee who is an individual shall cause his or her spouse, as applicable, to execute and deliver a separate consent and agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Holdings (a “Spousal Consent”). The signature of a spouse on a spousal consent shall not be construed as making, and shall not have the effect of making, such spouse a partner of Holdings or a party to this Agreement, except as expressly set forth in such consent. Each Senior Manager or Permitted Transferee who is an individual will certify his or her marital status to Holdings at Holdings’ request, and promptly notify Holdings of any change in his or her marital status.

SECTION 6.13 NOTICES AND INSTRUCTIONS TO SENIOR MANAGER GROUP. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that for purposes of administrative convenience and providing clear and non-conflicting instructions to Holdings, the Senior Manager was given certain rights under this Agreement to give notices and to give instructions that would be binding upon the Senior Manager and his Group. The parties agree that while Holdings shall be entitled

to rely on such notices and instructions as being binding on the Senior Manager and his Group, such provisions are not intended to convey or transfer any right or authority from a member of the Senior Manager’s Group to the Senior Manager, and that as between the Senior Manager and members of his Group, it is the Senior Manager’s obligation to obtain appropriate instruction, consent or authority to give such notices or instructions from a member of his Group that affect such member of his Group.
