(b)Class B Interests.

Section 2.1Initial Capital Contributions. OMAM made an initial Capital Contribution to the Company on December 31, 2007 of $1,250,000,000, plus (a) the amount of Segregated Client Mandated Capital as of such date ($32,000,000), plus (b) the Excess Working Capital Amount.
Section 2.2Additional Capital Contributions. Other than with respect to Capital Contributions relating to the Initial MAC Support Amount, which shall be governed by Section 2.3 and the MAC Agreement, in the sole discretion of the Board, the Company may offer the Members the opportunity to make additional Capital Contributions to the Company in proportion to their respective Additional Capital Contribution Percentages. Such offer shall be made by the Company at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such offer must be accepted or rejected and at least forty-five (45) days prior to the date on which such additional Capital Contribution is due. To the extent that either OMAM or the KELP makes an additional Capital Contribution in excess of its pro rata share, such excess amount (a “Non Pro Rata Additional Capital Contribution”) shall be added to such Member’s ACC Balance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Non Pro Rata Additional Capital Contributions shall not include any Non Pro Rata Additional MAC Capital Contribution (as defined in Section 2.3 below). Any additional Capital Contributions made by any Member shall be properly reflected on the books and records of the Company.

(c)Each Member’s Capital Account shall be increased or decreased by items of net income and net loss allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 4.3.

Section 2.5Withdrawals or Loans.
(a)A Member shall not be entitled to (i) withdraw any part of such Member’s Capital Account or to receive any distributions from the Company except as provided in Articles III and X; provided, that OMAM shall be entitled to withdraw at any time any Segregated Client Mandated Amount then held by the Company with the consent of both the Board of Managers and a majority of the KELP Managers, or (ii) make any loan or Capital Contribution to the Company other than as expressly provided herein or as otherwise agreed by the Board. No loan made to the Company by any Member shall constitute a Capital Contribution to the Company for any purpose.
(b)Subject to the obligations of the Company to make distributions strictly in accordance with Article III, OMAM shall have the right to borrow cash from the Company for a period not to exceed 120 days, at an interest rate that is no less than OM Asset Management plc’s then-current short term borrowing rate, pursuant to a revolving credit loan agreement in a form agreed upon by OMAM and the Company; provided, that (i) the aggregate amount that may be borrowed at any time shall not exceed OMAM’s share of the Company’s undistributed earnings for the four-month period ending on the last day of the calendar month preceding the month in which the borrowing occurs and (ii) in the event that the Company, as determined by the Board, shall require the use of any cash borrowed by OMAM, the Company shall request in writing that OMAM repay such borrowed amount and OMAM shall repay such borrowed amount within seven (7) Business Days of receipt of such request, subject to satisfaction of any United Kingdom regulatory requirements and/or Financial Services Authority approval that may be necessary.
(c)OMAM, as the lender, in its sole discretion may loan the Company, as the borrower, pursuant to a revolving credit loan agreement in a form provided by OMAM, such amounts as may from time to time be requested by the Board of Managers and approved by OMAM, in OMAM’s sole and absolute discretion, for such purposes as may be mutually agreed by OMAM and the Company, at the interest rate referenced in Section 2.5(b) and on such other terms as determined by OMAM in its sole discretion.

ARTICLE III
DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 3.1Distributions. Subject to Article X, which shall govern distributions upon the dissolution of the Company, and Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4, distributions of cash and any other property shall be made at such times and in such amounts as the Distribution Committee shall determine within forty-five (45) days following the end of each calendar quarter, following consultation with the Board and in accordance with Section 6.2(b).
(a)Distributions Generally. Subject to Section 3.4:
(i)the distributions with respect to a calendar quarter shall be made promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days, following the time of determination by the Distribution Committee;
(ii)the aggregate amount distributed pursuant to this Section 3.1 in respect of the first, second and third calendar quarters shall be equal to (or, with the approval of the Board of Managers, equal to an amount in excess of) 90% of Distributable Income during such quarter; provided, that the Board of Managers may, in its sole discretion, decrease the quarterly distributable amount to no lower than 75% of Distributable Income;
(iii)the aggregate amount distributed pursuant to this Section 3.1 in respect of the fourth calendar quarter of a calendar year shall be no less than the excess of (A) 100% of Distributable Income during the first, second, third and fourth quarters of such year over (B) the sum of the aggregate distributions of Distributable Income pursuant to this Section 3.1 in respect of the first, second and third calendar quarters of such year.
(iv)In addition to the amounts distributable pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(ii) and (iii), in the event that the amount distributable pursuant to this Section 3.1 for a previous quarter was reduced as a result of Section 3.4 (due to, for example, the need to satisfy the Working Capital Requirements), and, at the time of a quarterly distribution, the Distribution Committee determines that the Company has sufficient cash with which to make an additional distribution, then the amount to be distributed in respect of such quarter shall be increased by an amount determined by the Distribution Committee not to exceed the cumulative amount previously withheld from distribution;
(b)Order of Distributions. Subject to Section 3.1(a), Section 3.1(c) and Section 3.1(d), the aggregate amount of Distributable Income distributed in respect of any calendar quarter shall be distributed to the Members as follows:
(i)First, with respect to such quarter, one hundred percent (100%) of the Distributable Performance Fees shall be distributed to the Class A Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Class A Interests;
(ii)Second, with respect to such quarter, one hundred percent (100%) of the Distributable Income shall be distributed to the Class A Members, on the one hand, and the

6
DB3/ 201676067.6




Class B Members, on the other hand, in proportion to, and to the extent of, their current and accrued but unpaid ACC Income Preference Amount;
(iii)Third, with respect to such quarter, one hundred percent (100%) of the Distributable Income shall be distributed to the Class B-1 Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Class B-1 Interests until the aggregate amount distributed with respect to such quarter pursuant to this Section 3.1(b)(iii) equals the Class B-1 Return; and
(iv)Thereafter, with respect to such quarter, one hundred percent (100%) of the remaining Distributable Income shall be distributed to the Class A Members, on the one hand, and the Class B-2 Members, on the other hand, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.
(c)Distributions of MAC Distributable Income Prior to the MAC Conversion Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.1(b) and subject to Section 3.1(a) and Section 3.1(d), prior to the MAC Conversion Date, the aggregate amount of MAC Distributable Income distributed in respect of any calendar quarter shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with the MAC Agreement as follows:
(i)First, with respect to such quarter, an amount equal to (A) the Class B MAC Carried Interest Percentage, multiplied by (B) the MAC Distributable Income shall be distributed to the Class B Members in proportion to their respective Class B MAC Income Percentage; and
(ii)Thereafter, with respect to such quarter, one hundred percent (100%) to the Class A Members, on the one hand, and the Class B Members, on the other hand, in proportion to their respective MAC Income Percentages.
For the avoidance of doubt, following the MAC Conversion Date, MAC Distributable Income in respect of any calendar quarter shall be included in the Distributable Income for such calendar quarter and shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 3.1(b).
(d)Distributions of Liquidity Event Proceeds. Subject to Article X, which shall govern distributions upon the dissolution of the Company, upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event (x) that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is treated as a sale by the Company of its assets or (y) that is treated as a sale by the Members of their Interests, the Company shall distribute the proceeds of any such sale or, in the case of sale of Interests, the Board of Managers shall cause the proceeds of any such sale to be distributed, as applicable, to the Members as follows:
(i)First, to the Class A Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Class A Interests until the Class A Members have received pursuant to this Section 3.1(d)(i) an amount equal to the Initial OMAM Capital Account Amount;
(ii)Second, an amount equal to $116 million to the Class B-2 Members;

7
DB3/ 201676067.6




(iii)Third, to each Member that has made a Non Pro Rata Additional Capital Contribution (in proportion to the ratios determined by dividing the amount of the Unreturned Non Pro Rata Additional Capital Contribution and Unpaid ACC Income Preference Amount of such Member by the aggregate of such amounts with respect to all Members) until each such Member has received pursuant to this Section 3.1(d)(iii) an amount equal to the sum of such Member’s (A) Unreturned Non Pro Rata Additional Capital Contributions and (B) Unpaid ACC Income Preference Amount; and
(iv)Thereafter, to the Members in proportion with their respective Initial MAC Support Percentages.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement, from and after the occurrence of such a Liquidity Event, until such proceeds are distributed in full to the Members, the Company shall not make any distributions to any Person other than in accordance with this Section 3.1(d). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company or the Members, as applicable, sell assets or equity in one period in connection with a Liquidity Event, then sell the remainder of the Company’s assets or equity in connection with such Liquidity Event in a later period, the proceeds from the initial sale shall be distributed pursuant to this Section 3.1(d), and the amounts thus distributed shall be credited against amounts otherwise distributable pursuant to this Section 3.1(d) in connection with such Liquidity Event.
Section 3.2Tax Distributions. Notwithstanding Section 3.1 but subject to Sections 3.3 and 3.4(a), the Company shall make distributions to the Members in amounts intended to enable the Members (or any Person whose tax liability is determined by reference to the income of a Member) to discharge their United States federal, state and local income tax liabilities arising from the allocations made pursuant to Section 4.1. The amount distributable pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be determined by the Distribution Committee in good faith, based on the Assumed Income Tax Rate and the amounts allocated to the Members, and otherwise based on such assumptions as the Distribution Committee determines to be appropriate. To the extent that a Member previously has received a distribution pursuant to Section 3.1 during any taxable year, such distribution shall (without duplication) reduce the amount, if any, otherwise distributable to such Member pursuant to this Section 3.2 in respect of such taxable year. The amount distributable to any Member pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be reduced by the amount distributed to such Member pursuant to this Section 3.2.
Section 3.3Withholding; Tax Indemnification. The Distribution Committee is authorized to withhold from distributions, or with respect to allocations, to the Members and to pay over to any federal, state, local or other governmental authority any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or other applicable provisions of any federal, state or local Law. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state or local tax with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation to the Company or its Members shall be treated as amounts distributed to the Members pursuant to this Article III for all purposes under this Agreement. Each Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company for all taxes (including interest, penalties and additions to tax) relating to amounts received by such Member from the Company that were required to have been withheld by the Company under applicable Law.

8
DB3/ 201676067.6




Section 3.4Overriding Provision.
(a)Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a distribution to any Member if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Act or other applicable Law.
(b)Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement other than Section 3.2, the Company shall not make any distribution to any Member if, as determined the Distribution Committee, in the good faith exercise of its business judgment, the amount of cash remaining at the Company following such distribution or withdrawal would not be sufficient to satisfy Working Capital Requirements or regulatory requirements.
ARTICLE IV
ALLOCATIONS
Section 4.1Allocations of Net Profit and Net Loss.
(a)Net Profit - General. After giving effect to the special allocations under Sections 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4, and subject to Section 4.1(c) and Section 4.1(d), Net Profit shall be allocated among the Members in the following order and priority:
(i)First, Net Profit attributable to Distributable Performance Fees to the Class A Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Class A Interests;

(c)In the event that the Asset Value of any company asset is adjusted in accordance with this Agreement, subsequent allocations of items of income, gain, loss, deductions

12
DB3/ 201676067.6

The foregoing indemnification shall be conditioned, however, upon the Indemnified Person seeking it, at all times and from time to time, fully cooperating with and assisting the Company and its counsel in any reasonable manner with respect to protecting or pursuing the Company’s interests in any matter relating to the subject matter of the claim, action, suit or other proceeding for which indemnification is sought. No indemnification shall be provided for any Indemnified Person (i) if such Indemnified Person has committed fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct as reasonably determined by the Board of Managers, (ii) with respect to any

25
DB3/ 201676067.6




matter as to which the Board of Managers determines that such Indemnified Person did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that such Indemnified Person’s action was in the best interest of the Company or, to the extent that such matter relates to service with respect to any employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the participants, or the beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan, or (iii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if such Indemnified Person had reasonable cause to believe that such Indemnified Person’s conduct was unlawful. In the event an Indemnified Person is a Manager, any decision of the Board of Managers referred to in the preceding sentence shall be made by the Board of Managers without the vote of that Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not provide indemnification for any former Manager or Member who, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Managers, was in serious or repeated breach of its duties as a Manager or Member. Any employee of or agent for the Company may be indemnified in such manner as the Board of Managers determines.
(b)Expenses. If an Indemnified Person provides the Board of Managers with evidence that demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board of Managers that such Indemnified Person is reasonably likely to prevail on the merits of such matter, expenses reasonably incurred in defending any claim, action, suit or proceeding of the character described in Section 7.1(a) shall be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf of the recipient to repay all such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1(a).
(c)Outside Interests. OMAM and any of its Affiliates except the Company may engage in and possess interests in other business ventures and investment opportunities (unconnected with the Company) of every kind and description, independently or with others, including without limitation serving as member, manager or partner of other limited liability companies and partnerships. The Company and each of the Members acknowledge and agree that (i) the corporate opportunity doctrine (or any analogous doctrine) under the Act and applicable federal statutes shall not apply with respect to OMAM or any of its Affiliates, managers, directors, officers, employees, or holders of its or its Affiliates’ respective equity securities, and (ii) neither the Company nor any Member shall have, and each such Person hereby renounces, any rights in or to such independent business ventures or investment opportunities or the income or profits therefrom by virtue of this Agreement.
(d)Survival of Protection. The provisions of this Section 7.1 shall continue to afford protection to each Indemnified Person regardless of whether such Indemnified Person remains in the position or capacity pursuant to which such Indemnified Person became entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.1 and regardless of any subsequent amendment to this Agreement, and no amendment to this Agreement shall reduce or restrict the extent to which these indemnification provisions apply to actions taken or omissions made prior to the date of such amendment.
(e)Rights Cumulative. The right of any Indemnified Person to the indemnification provided herein shall be cumulative with, and in addition to, any and all rights to

26
DB3/ 201676067.6




which such Indemnified Person may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Indemnified Person’s successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives.

Upon obtaining such consent and upon the execution of such signature page and/or such other agreements, documents and instruments, such transferee shall be admitted as a Member and shall have all of the rights and powers and be subject to the restrictions and liabilities of a Member hereunder.

Following payment by the KELP to OMAM or the Company, as applicable, of the consideration payable in connection with such Transfer, the Interest (or such pro rata share) held by OMAM (or assets of the Company, if applicable) shall be deemed Transferred to the KELP. If the KELP fails to provide the KELP ROFR Notice prior to the expiration of the 30-day period, the KELP shall forfeit its right to purchase any of the Interests or assets offered by OMAM or the Company to such transferee.

(c)TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY MATTER ARISING HEREUNDER.
Section 13.4Severability of Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable under applicable Law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (a) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (b) the balance of this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded, and (c) the balance of this

DB3/ 201676067.6




Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms provided that this Agreement continues to reasonably and substantially reflect the intent of the parties expressed herein taking into account the exclusion of such unenforceable provision.
Section 13.5Titles. Section titles are for descriptive purposes only and shall not control or alter the meaning of this Agreement as set forth in the text.
Section 13.6Amendments. No amendment of this Agreement shall be valid or binding unless such amendment is made with the written consent of OMAM and the KELP. In the event that, due to a change in law or regulation applicable to the Company, the KELP, OMAM, OM(US)H or OM Asset Management it becomes necessary to amend or modify this Agreement to avoid the Company, the KELP, OMAM, OM(US)H or OM Asset Management from violating such law or regulation, OMAM and the KELP shall reasonably cooperate with each other in amending or modifying this Agreement in a manner that avoids such violation; provided, that, in meeting its obligations under this sentence, OMAM and the KELP shall seek to minimize, to the extent reasonably practicable, any material adverse changes to the rights and obligations of the Members under this Agreement.
Section 13.7Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original of this Agreement. The delivery of this Agreement may be effected by means of an exchange of facsimile or electronically transmitted signatures.
Section 13.8Further Actions. Each Member shall execute and deliver such other certificates, agreements and documents, and take such other actions, as may reasonably be requested by the Board in connection with the formation of the Company and the achievement of its purposes or to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement, in each case as are not inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including any documents that the Board determines to be necessary or appropriate to form, qualify or continue the Company as a limited liability company in all jurisdictions in which the Company conducts or plans to conduct its investment and other activities and all such agreements, certificates, tax statements and other documents as may be required to be filed by or on behalf of the Company.
Section 13.9Survival of Certain Provisions. The obligations of each Member pursuant to Sections 3.3, 4.3, 9.3 and Article VII shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement and the dissolution, winding up and liquidation of the Company.
Section 13.10Waiver of Partition. Except as may otherwise be provided by Law in connection with the dissolution, winding up and liquidation of the Company, each Member hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights that it may have to maintain an action for partition of any of the Company’s property.
Section 13.11Remedies; Waiver. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that each party hereto will be irreparably damaged in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed by the parties in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, the exact amount of damages arising from such breach would be difficult to ascertain and the remedies

45
DB3/ 201676067.6




at law for any such breach may be inadequate. Accordingly, it is agreed that each of the Company and each Member shall be entitled to an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement, and to specific enforcement of this Agreement and its terms and provisions in any action instituted in any court or before any arbitrator without need to post bond. The failure of any party to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any provision of this Agreement will not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation from having the effect of an original violation. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective, unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the party waiving such term or condition. No waiver by any party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion.
Section 13.12Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any agreements referenced herein, including, the Certificate of Formation, all of which are hereby incorporated herein, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, and supersedes all prior understandings or agreements between the parties.
Section 13.13Interpretation. As used herein, the singular shall include the plural, and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter, and vice-versa, unless the context otherwise requires. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. Any reference herein to “include”, “includes”, “including” and any derivation thereof shall be interpreted to be immediately followed by “without limitation”. Any reference to any Section or paragraph shall be deemed to refer to a Section or paragraph of this Agreement, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever this Agreement refers to an employee of or consultant to the Company, such reference shall be deemed to include any person that is an employee of or consultant to a subsidiary of the Company; provided, that no consultant to the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall have voting rights under this Agreement or the KELP Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever this Agreement refers to the termination of employment of an employee, such reference shall be deemed to include the termination of a consulting arrangement with a consultant.
