The Limited Partner agrees that she shall be bound by the terms and provisions of the Limited Partnership Agreement as of the Admission Date and shall execute the signature page of the Limited Partnership Agreement attached hereto. Upon the Admission Date, the Limited Partner’s initial Capital Account balance will be $0 (zero dollars). The Limited Partner is hereby designated an “Original Partner” (for purposes of the Limited Partnership Agreement) by the General Partner as of the Admission Date and the rights, duties and obligations of the Limited Partner under the Limited Partnership Agreement following her admission to the Partnership shall, except to the extent modified by the terms of this Agreement, be the same as those of the previously admitted Original Partners thereunder.
(b) Title. Upon her admission to the Partnership, the Limited Partner will hold the title of Executive Managing Director with respect to the General Partner and will be appointed as the Chief Financial Officer of the Och-Ziff Group.
(c) Profit Sharing Interests. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Limited Partnership Agreement, as of January 1, 2017 the Partnership may issue 1,000,000 PSIs to the Limited Partner and each of the other Operating Partnerships may simultaneously issue an equal number of PSIs to the Limited Partner. The Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that the number of PSIs held by the Limited Partner may be increased or reduced (including to zero) by the PMC Chairman in accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement.

As determined by the General Partner, any portion of the PSI Cash Distribution in respect of any Fiscal Year (excluding any Deferred Cash Interests) that would otherwise be made to the Limited Partner by any of the Operating Partnerships shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of Quarterly Advances made to the Limited Partner by such Operating Partnership in respect of the same Fiscal Year, but not below zero and without duplication; provided, that if the aggregate amount of Quarterly Advances in respect of such Fiscal Year distributed by any Operating Partnership is greater than the portion of the PSI Cash Distribution that would otherwise be payable by such Operating Partnership in respect of such Fiscal Year, the Performance Cash Distribution (as defined below) (excluding any Deferred Cash Interests) or any other cash distributions that would otherwise be made by such Operating Partnership to the Limited Partner in respect of such Fiscal Year may be reduced by the amount of such deficit, but not below zero and without duplication. If the aggregate amount of Quarterly Advances made in respect of any Fiscal Year exceeds the aggregate reductions made pursuant to the foregoing sentences of this Section 1(d) in respect of the cash distributions (excluding Deferred Cash Interests) for such Fiscal Year, then, in the sole discretion of the PMC Chairman, the portions of the Variable

(i) Guaranteed Variable Distribution for Fiscal Year 2016. Subject to Section 2(d)(i) below, the Limited Partner’s Variable Distribution in respect of Fiscal Year 2016 (including the Quarterly Advances relating to such Fiscal Year) shall be comprised solely of a Performance Distribution, and the amount of such Performance Distribution shall be $1,604,000 (the “Guaranteed 2016 Annual Bonus Amount”), which represents an annualized amount of $3,500,000, pro-rated based on the number of days between July 15, 2016 and December 31, 2016, inclusive; provided that (i) the portion of the Variable Cash Distribution in respect of Fiscal Year 2016 to be received by the Limited Partner in the form of Deferred Cash Interests shall equal 25% of the Variable Distribution for such year, and (ii) the amount of the Variable Cash Distribution in respect of Fiscal Year 2016 payable other than in the form of Deferred Cash Interests shall be reduced by an amount equal to any fees (“Consulting Fees”) the Limited Partner has received in respect of the Consulting Agreement dated August 25, 2016 between the Limited Partner and OZ Management LP (as amended, the “Consulting Agreement”) in accordance with the penultimate paragraph of Section 3.

(b) as of the 4Q Distribution Date relating to such Fiscal Year, the Limited Partner may conditionally receive a portion of the Variable Cash Distribution equal to 25% of the Variable Distribution in respect of such Fiscal Year in the form of a grant of Deferred Cash Interests relating to one or more OZ Funds (as defined in the DCI Plan) in accordance with the DCI Plan, such grant to be made by the Partnership and/or the other Operating Partnerships in the sole discretion of the General Partner; and
(c) as of the 4Q Distribution Date relating to such Fiscal Year, the Limited Partner may conditionally receive cash distributions from the Operating Partnerships in an amount equal to the Variable Cash Distribution for such Fiscal Year, less the amounts of such Variable Cash Distribution to be distributed in accordance with Sections 3(a) or 3(b) above.
The amount of the Variable Cash Distribution in respect of Fiscal Year 2016 shall be reduced by the amount of any Consulting Fees, with the amount of such Consulting Fees to be offset against the portion of the Variable Cash Distribution for 2016 payable under Section 3(a) above and/or Section 3(c) above as determined by the Operating Partnerships in their discretion.
Any cash distributions to be made to the Limited Partner under this Section 3 may be made by one or more of the Operating Partnerships in the proportions determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion. Any portion of any Performance Cash Distribution (excluding any Deferred Cash Interests) to be distributed to the Limited Partner by the Partnership may be made as a distribution of Net Income allocated to a Class C Non-Equity Interest in accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement or pursuant to a different arrangement structured by the General Partner in its sole discretion.
4. Variable Class D Unit Distributions. Unless determined otherwise in the sole discretion of the PMC Chairman, and subject to Section 2:
5
(a) Grant of Operating Group D Units. The Limited Partner may conditionally receive 25% of any Variable Distribution to which she may be entitled in respect of any applicable Fiscal Year in the form of a Variable Class D Unit Distribution on the 4Q Distribution Date relating to such Fiscal Year (a “Unit Grant Date”) in the form of Operating Group D Units as follows: (i) the Partnership may conditionally grant to the Limited Partner a number of New Class D Units equal to the Class D Unit Equivalent Amount in accordance with Section 4(b) below, and (ii) the other two Operating Partnerships may conditionally grant to the Limited Partner a number of OZM & OZA PSI Class D Units equal to the Class D Unit Equivalent Amount pursuant to the OZM & OZA Partner Agreements.
(b) Issuance of New Class D Units by the Partnership. Upon each determination to issue New Class D Units to the Limited Partner on any Unit Grant Date as part of a Variable Class D Unit Distribution in accordance with the provisions of Section 2, the General Partner shall designate a new series of Class D Common Units pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1(f) of the Limited Partnership Agreement. The Partnership shall issue a number of Class D Common Units of such series equal to the Class D Unit Equivalent Amount to the Limited Partner pursuant to and subject to the Plan on such Unit Grant Date. Upon issuance of such New Class D Units, the General Partner shall cause the Limited Partner to be named as the holder of such New Class D Units in the books of the Partnership and the portion of the Limited Partner’s Capital Account balance attributable to such New Class D Units shall be $0 (zero dollars). Upon issuance, any such New Class D Units shall be designated as “Original Common Units” of the Limited Partner (for purposes of the Limited Partnership Agreement) by the General Partner and the rights, duties and obligations of the Limited Partner with respect to such New Class D Units under the Limited Partnership Agreement shall be the same as those applicable to the Class D Common Units thereunder, except to the extent modified by the terms of this Agreement.
(c) Class D Unit Equivalent Amount. For purposes of any New Class D Units to be awarded in respect of a Variable Class D Unit Distribution under Section 2:
(i) the term “Class D Unit Equivalent Amount” shall mean the quotient of the Variable Class D Unit Distribution divided by the Class D Unit Fair Market Value, rounded to the nearest whole number.
(ii) the term “Class D Unit Fair Market Value” shall mean the average of the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange of Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC’s Class A Shares for the ten trading day period beginning (and including) December 11 (or the next trading day in the event that December 11 is not a trading day) of the year to which the award relates.
For example, if the Limited Partner’s Variable Class D Unit Distribution in respect of a Fiscal Year is $1,500,000, and the average closing price of Class A Shares for the ten trading day period beginning December 11 of such Fiscal Year is $25 per share, then the Limited Partner would receive an award of 60,000 Class D Common Units (($1,500,000 / $25) = 60,000 Class D Common Units) in respect of such Variable Class D Unit Distribution.

(f) The failure by any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement, or to require at any time performance by any party hereto of any provision hereof, shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provision, nor in any way affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof, or the right of any party hereto thereafter to enforce each and every such provision in accordance with its terms.
(g) The Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement and the terms of this Agreement with respect to the rights and obligations of the Limited Partner, the terms of this Agreement shall control. Except as specifically provided herein, this Agreement shall not otherwise affect any of the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement.
(h) Any remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be cumulative in nature and shall be in addition to any other remedies whatsoever (whether by operation of law, equity, contract or otherwise) which any party may otherwise have.
13. Section 409A. This Agreement as well as payments and benefits under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from, or to the extent subject thereto, to comply with
12
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance therewith. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Limited Partner shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Partnership for purposes of any payments under this Agreement which are subject to Section 409A until the Limited Partner has incurred a “separation from service” from the Partnership within the meaning of Section 409A. Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Agreement shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A and any payments described in this Agreement that are due within the “short term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Limited Partner’s separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Limited Partner’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the Limited Partner’s date of death). To the extent required to avoid an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, amounts reimbursable to the Limited Partner shall be paid to the Limited Partner on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in kind benefits provided to the Limited Partner) during one year may not affect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year.
