(ii) Implementation. The Issuer may adopt reasonable procedures for the implementation of the exchange provisions set forth in this Article II and adopt mechanics and policies to implement the intended economic consequences of Exchanges pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, procedures for the giving of notice of an election for exchange and policies and methods related to the valuation for U.S. federal income tax purposes of any assets owned by the Apollo Principal Entities; provided, that at the time such policies and methods are adopted, to the Issuer’s knowledge they are not expected to have a disproportionate adverse effect on the Issuer or any subsidiaries of the Issuer.
(iii) 10b5-1 Plans. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Issuer shall take all reasonable and necessary action to cooperate with any Apollo Principal Holder (or an applicable Participant or member of each such party’s Group) who shall have notified the Issuer of its intention to implement a 10b5-1 Plan to implement such 10b5-1 Plan, including: (i) cooperating directly with the broker or brokers who will administer such 10b5-1 Plan, (ii) promptly advising any broker or brokers identified in advance to the Issuer as administering such 10b5-1 Plan of (A) any Suspension Period (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) applicable to any re-sale shelf registration statement under which sales of Class A Shares are then being made by such broker or brokers on behalf of an Apollo Principal Holder (or an applicable Participant or member of their Group) pursuant to such 10b5-1 Plan, (B) any record date established with respect to any dividend payable with respect to Class A Shares at least five (5) Business Days prior to such record date, (C) any change to the Exchange Rate at least one (1) Business Day prior to its effectiveness, and (D) the date of any Reversion Date and (iii) to the extent the Chief Compliance or Legal Officer of the Issuer (or any designee thereof) is entitled under any applicable policy of the Issuer to review and pre-approve the 10b5-1 Plan, such review consists of determining that the 10b5-1 Plan conforms to all requirements of Section 240.10b5-1(c)(1)(i) of the Code of Federal Regulations as then in effect and conforms to any other applicable legal requirements deemed appropriate by the Issuer. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.2(e)(iii) shall override any rights or obligations of the parties to the Shareholders Agreement.

Section 2.3 Registration, Blackout Periods, Cutbacks and Ownership Restrictions.
(a) Cancelation of Offering; Cutbacks; Over-Allotment Options. If an underwritten Public Offering of any Class A Shares to be issued upon any exchanges in respect of an Exchange Date is to occur and (A) such underwritten Public Offering does not occur, the Issuer will cancel all exchanges of the amount of AOG Units attributable to the Class A Shares to be offered in such underwritten Public Offering in respect of such Exchange Date unless, in the case of a Quarterly Exchange, such Apollo Principal Holder shall have elected in the notice of exchange to have any AOG Units attributable to such underwritten Public Offering exchanged notwithstanding the non-occurrence of such underwritten Public Offering, (B) the Issuer is advised that the underwriter or underwriters or agent of the Public Offering, as the case may be, intends to reduce or cut back the amount of Class A Shares to be offered in the Public Offering in the manner, and to the extent, contemplated by Article V of the Shareholders Agreement, the Issuer will reduce or cut back the amount of AOG Units to be exchanged in an Exchange by an Apollo Principal Holder on the applicable Exchange Date unless, in the case of a Quarterly Exchange, such Apollo Principal Holder shall have elected in the notice of exchange to have any AOG Units attributable to such cut backs exchanged nonetheless or (C) such underwritten Public Offering includes an over-allotment option, which option shall lapse un-exercised in whole or in part, the Issuer will reduce the amount of AOG Units to be exchanged by an Apollo Principal Holder in an Exchange on the applicable Exchange Date by the amount of AOG Units attributable to such un-exercised portion of the over-allotment amount unless, in the case of a Quarterly Exchange, such Apollo Principal Holder shall have elected in the notice of exchange to have the AOG Units attributable to such un-exercised portion of the over-allotment exchanged nonetheless.
(b) Blackout Periods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an Apollo Principal Holder shall not be entitled to exchange AOG Units, and the Issuer shall have the right to refuse to honor any request for exchange of AOG Units, (i) at any time upon such request, if the Issuer shall reasonably determine that there may be material non-public information that the Issuer has a bona fide business purposes for preserving as confidential, provided, however, that this shall not restrict (a) any Apollo Principal Holder from exchanging AOG Units if it is anticipated that the material non-public information will become public prior to the date such Apollo Principal Holder (or a Participant or other member of each such party’s Group) sells the Class A Shares; (b) any Plan Exchange or any other exchange of AOG Units where the sale of Class A Shares issued upon exchange will be made pursuant to a 10b5-1 Plan that was put in place by an Apollo Principal Holder (or a Participant or other member of such party’s Group) when such Person was not in possession of material non-public information about the Issuer and its subsidiaries; or (c) settlement of any exchange of AOG Units pursuant to a Non-Plan Exchange with respect to trades made on or prior to the day that the Issuer notifies the Apollo Principal Holder and the Founders and Contributing Partners that it is exercising such right to refuse to honor the request for exchange of AOG Units; or (ii) if such exchange would be prohibited under applicable law or regulation.
Section 2.4 Splits, Distributions and Reclassifications.
If there is: (1) any subdivision (by split, distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization
16
or otherwise) of the AOG Units it shall be accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Class A Shares; or (2) any subdivision (by split, distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Class A Shares it shall be accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the AOG Units. In the event of a reclassification or other similar transaction as a result of which the Class A Shares are converted into another security, then an Apollo Principal Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exchange the amount of such security that such Apollo Principal Holder would have received if such exchange had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of such reclassification or other similar transaction. Except as may be required in the immediately preceding sentence, no adjustments in respect of distributions shall be made upon the exchange of any AOG Unit.
Section 2.5 Class A Shares to be Issued.
The Issuer covenants that if any Class A Shares require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any foreign, U.S. federal or state law before such Class A Shares may be issued upon exchange pursuant to this Article II, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Class A Shares to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be. The Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to list the Class A Shares required to be delivered upon exchange prior to such delivery upon each national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the outstanding Class A Shares may be listed or traded at the time of such delivery. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Issuer from satisfying its obligations in respect of the exchange of the AOG Units by delivery of Class A Shares which are held in the treasury of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries.
Section 2.6 Taxes.
The delivery of Class A Shares upon exchange of AOG Units shall be made without charge to the Apollo Principal Holder for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance.

17
change. Each Apollo Principal Holder shall direct each such Founder or Contributing Partner to represent and warrant to the Issuer upon delivering an Ownership Schedule that no member of their respective Group was formed for a principal purpose of permitting the Apollo Principal Entities to satisfy the 100-partner limitation in Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations.
Section 2.8 Reversion to Quarterly Exchanges; Notices, and Revocation.
(a) Implementation. If the Governing Body determines at any time, based on the advice of nationally recognized tax counsel or a “Big Four” accounting firm, that there is a material risk that (i) the Apollo Principal Entities will be treated as having more than 100 partners within the meaning of Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations (taking into account the provisions of Section 1.7704-1(h)(3) of the Treasury Regulations) or (ii) a change in, or formal interpretation of, law or publication of administrative guidance will cause the “private placement” exception of Section 1.7704-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations not to apply to the Apollo Principal Entities, then the Governing Body shall provide written notice to all Apollo Principal Holders, Founders and Contributing Partners (or their duly authorized personal representative) of such determination. Following the date of such notice or such other date as the Governing Body determines in its sole discretion and sets forth in such notice (the “Reversion Date”), an Apollo Principal Holder shall be entitled only to exchange AOG Units held by such Apollo Principal Holder on any Exchange Date pursuant to an Exchange under Section 2.1(a) in accordance with the notice provisions and procedures described in this Section 2.8 (such Exchange, a “Quarterly Exchange”) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be entitled to exchange AOG Units held by such Apollo Principal Holder pursuant to a Plan Exchange, a Non-Plan Exchange or a Fixed Exchange unless and until the Governing Body provides written notice to all Apollo Principal Holders that the provisions of Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 with respect to a Plan Exchange, a Non-Plan Exchange or a Fixed Exchange have been reinstated). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.8, any Plan Exchanges or Non-Plan Exchanges that are initiated on or prior to the Reversion Date shall be settled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement without giving effect to this Section 2.8.
(b) Notice of Exchange. An Apollo Principal Holder may exercise the right to exchange AOG Units set forth in Section 2.1(a) with respect to a Quarterly Exchange by providing a written notice of exchange no later than the applicable Notice Date to the Issuer substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto.
(c) Revocation.
(i) With respect to any notice of exchange with respect to a Quarterly Exchange, an Apollo Principal Holder may irrevocably revoke any such notice in whole, but not in part, with respect to such AOG Units to be exchanged (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall apply to all AOG Units subject to such notice) in writing on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date on which any AOG Units may be exchanged following the Notice Date with respect to which such notice was given, but, only in the event that the closing trading price per share of the Class A Shares on the Stock Exchange on the Business Day immediately preceding date of revocation is at least 10% lower than the
18
closing trading price per share of the Class A Shares on the Stock Exchange on the Notice Date with respect to which such notice was given.
(ii) In addition to and not in limitation of Section 2.8(c)(i), with respect to any notice of exchange with respect to a Quarterly Exchange for which Class A Shares issued upon exchange will be offered in an underwritten Public Offering, an Apollo Principal Holder may irrevocably revoke any such notice in whole, but not in part, with respect to all AOG Units to be exchanged (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall apply to all AOG Units subject to such notice) in writing immediately before the pricing of the underwritten Public Offering, but only in the event that the gross price per Class A share offered to the public is at least 10% lower than the closing trading price per share of the Class A Shares on the Stock Exchange on the Notice Date with respect to which such notice was given.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any notice of exchange with respect to a Quarterly Exchange (A) if no revocation shall have been made pursuant to Section 2.8(c)(i) above prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the first Exchange Date on which any AOG Units may be exchanged following the Notice Date with respect to which such notice was given, then the ability of an Apollo Principal Holder to revoke any exchange pursuant to Section 2.8(c)(i) shall lapse and (B) no Apollo Principal Holder that makes any revocation with respect to an Exchange Date as provided in Section 2.8(c)(i) or (ii) above may exercise the right to exchange AOG Units set forth in Section 2.1(a) in respect of any Exchange Date in the next upcoming Quarter.
Section 2.9 Notice by Company.
The Issuer agrees to provide each Founder and Contributing Partner with the following:
(a) (i) promptly following establishment thereof by the Issuer or its representatives, a schedule of the dates it expects to release earnings for each Quarter of a calendar year (or any shorter period for which it establishes a schedule of earnings releases) and the corresponding expected start and end dates of the Trading Window for each such Quarter based thereon (such schedule being the “Earnings Calendar”), and (ii) prompt notice of any changes to the Earnings Calendar, including any changes to the scheduled dates included therein;
(b) prompt advance notice of (i) the actual date(s) and, if applicable, time(s) of the release of earnings of the Issuer and the opening of the Trading Window for each Quarter and (ii), to the extent not reflected in the Earnings Calendar (as updated in accordance with Section 2.9(a)(ii)), the date(s) and, if applicable, time(s) of any opening or closure of the Trading Window for an applicable Quarter, including, in each case, any extensions, suspensions, re-openings, or delays in opening the Trading Window;
(c) prompt advance notice of any Suspension Period (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) applicable to any re-sale shelf registration statement under which sales of Class A Shares to be issued in an Exchange are or could be registered;
(d) prompt advance notice of any record date established with respect to any dividend payable with respect to Class A Shares (and in any event at least five (5) Business Days prior to such record date); and

The parties acknowledge that the forum designated by this paragraph (c) has a reasonable relation to this Agreement, and to the parties’ relationship with one another.
(ii) The parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they now or hereafter may have to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any such ancillary suit, action or proceeding brought in any court referred to in the preceding paragraph of this Section 3.8 and such parties agree not to plead or claim the same.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 3.8 shall be construed to the maximum extent possible to comply with the laws of the State of Delaware, including the Delaware Uniform Arbitration Act (10 Del. C. § 5701 et seq.) (the “Delaware Arbitration Act”). If, nevertheless, it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision or wording of this Section 3.8, including any rules of the International Chamber of Commerce, shall be invalid or unenforceable under the Delaware Arbitration Act, or other applicable law, such invalidity shall not invalidate all of this Section 3.8. In that case, this Section 3.8 shall be construed so as to limit any term or provision so as to make it valid or enforceable within the requirements of the Delaware Arbitration Act or other applicable law, and, in the event such term or provision cannot be so limited, this Section 3.8 shall be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable provision.
Section 3.9 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means. Copies of executed counterparts transmitted by electronic transmission service shall be considered original executed counterparts for purposes of this Section 3.9.
Section 3.10 Tax Treatment.
To the extent this Agreement imposes obligations upon a particular Apollo Principal Entity or APO LLC, this Agreement shall be treated as part of the relevant Apollo Principal Entity Agreement as described in Section 761(c) of the Code and Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(h) and 1.761-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations. The parties shall report any Exchange consummated hereunder as a taxable sale to the Issuer of AOG Units by an Apollo Principal
24
Holder. No party shall take a contrary position on any income tax return, amendment thereof or communication with a taxing authority unless otherwise required by applicable law.
Section 3.11 Applicable Law.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF).
