Section 2.1 Ownership.
(a) The Principal Groups own Holdings in accordance with
their respective Sharing Percentages; provided, however, that each Principal Group's
interest in income and gains derived by Holdings from its indirect interest in the Heritage
Funds shall be in accordance with such Principal Group's Pecuniary Interest in Heritage
Points.
(b) Other than Excluded Assets, each Principal (i) has
contributed all of his interests in Intermediate Holdings, Apollo, the Apollo Operating
Group and their respective Subsidiaries to Holdings and (ii) will not directly own any
interests in Intermediate Holdings, the Apollo Operating Group and their respective
Subsidiaries in the future• provided, however that any future salary, compensation,
equity incentives and other fringe benefits made available to any of the Principals or any
member of their respective Groups by Apollo, the Apollo Operating Group or their
respective Subsidiaries shall be Excluded Assets and shall not be contributed to Holdings.
(c) The Executive Committee shall negotiate in good faith with
potential Fund investors to provide that any future mandatory capital commitments to be
made by the general partner of any Fund shall be funded by Apollo (and not directly by
the Principals). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive Committee shall have the
authority to determine whether it is commercially advantageous to have the Principals
fund such capital commitments and, in the event that the Executive Committee so
determines, the Principals agree to fund such capital commitments; provided, however,
that (i) without the unanimous consent of the Executive Committee, no general partner of
any Fund or any co-investment vehicle established to invest in any Fund shall commit to
make a capital commitment in excess of 2.5%, in the aggregate, of the total capital
commitments received by such Fund, and the portion of such capital commitment to be
made by the Principals shall be reduced by the amount of such capital commitments to be
12
Doca: USI:107703119v15
EFTA00583346
made (as determined by the majority approval of the Executive Committee) by (A)
Apollo and its Subsidiaries (excluding any Funds that may be Subsidiaries) and (B) the
other investment professionals employed by Apollo and its Subsidiaries; (ii) without the
unanimous consent of the Executive Committee, no Principal shall be required to make a
capital commitment in excess of $75 million in any individual Fund; (iii) except as
provided in clauses (iv) and (v) below, if the Principals are obligated to make future
capital commitments to any Fund or any co-investment vehicle established to invest in
any Fund, such capital commitments will be made by the Continuing Principals (or other
members of their respective Groups) outside of Holdings ratably in accordance with the
Sharing Percentages of their respective Groups as of the date of the First Closing of such
Fund (for the avoidance of doubt, each such capital commitment by a Principal or his
Group shall be an Excluded Asset); (iv) no Principal shall be required to make any future
capital commitment to any Fund that has a First Closing after the date of such Principal's
termination or to any co-investment vehicle established to invest in any Fund that has a
First Closing after the date of such Principal's termination; and (v) any mandatory capital
commitments by Holdings to a Heritage Fund will be made by the Principals in
accordance with the Heritage Points Percentages in such Heritage Fund without giving
effect to any adjustments thereto (for the avoidance of doubt, each such capital
commitment by a Principal or his Group shall be an Excluded Asset).
(d) Each Principal shall determine individually whether such
Principal and his Group shall indirectly participate in the management fee waiver
program with respect to such Principal Group's indirect right to receive distributions
from Apollo Management Holdings, L.P. with respect to management fees that would
have otherwise been payable on July 2, 2007. After July 2, 2007, the Principals and
Holdings shall not indirectly participate in any management fee waiver program in effect
from time to time unless the Executive Committee determines otherwise (it being
understood that so long as participation by the Principals does not have an adverse impact
on the financial results of Apollo and its Subsidiaries, the Executive Committee shall
work diligently toward developing a plan that would allow such participation in
compliance with clauses (i) through (iii) below); provided, that (i) to the extent that the
Principals or Holdings participate in any such management fee waiver program, the
Principals shall be entitled to indirectly participate in accordance with their respective
Sharing Percentages, (ii) if there is any limitation on the amount of investment pursuant
to any such management fee waiver program, the amount available to the Principals shall
be allocated among the Principals in accordance with their respective Sharing
Percentages, and (iii) to the extent that participation by the Principals or Holdings in any
such management fee waiver program has an adverse economic impact on any non-
participating Principal or the unitholders of Apollo generally, the Executive Committee
must approve such participation by unanimous consent. The Executive Committee shall
initially determine whether any "adverse economic impact" referred to in clause (iii)
above will occur, but any Principal may dispute such determination.
(e) The Executive Committee will determine whether and to
what extent any entity or investment professional (including the Principals) may invest in
the Funds on terms more favorable than those offered to third party investors. If the
Executive Committee permits any Principal to invest on terms more favorable than those
13
Does: USI: I0770389vIS
EFTA00583347
offered to third party investors, it will permit all Continuing Principals and Principal
Groups to do so, and if any limit is imposed upon the amounts that may be invested on
more favorable terms then such amount shall be allocated among the Continuing
Principals and Principal Groups in accordance with their respective Sharing Percentages.

Sharing Percentage shall be adjusted in accordance with Article IV.

a Pro Rata Exchange or a Non-Pro Rata Exchange), the number of Heritage Points
attributable to the AOG Units transferred by such Principal Group in the Exchange shall
