Additionally, the Partner may not solicit or encourage to cease to work with any member of the Och-Ziff Group any consultant, agent or adviser that the Partner knows or should know is under contract with any member of the Och-Ziff Group.

(e) During the Restricted Period and at all times thereafter, each Individual Limited Partner will not, directly or indirectly, make, or cause to be made, any written or oral statement, observation, or opinion disparaging the business or reputation of the Och-Ziff Group, or any owners, partners, members, directors, officers, or employees of any member of the Och-Ziff Group; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 2.13 shall preclude such Partner from providing truthful testimony in response to a valid subpoena, court order, regulatory request, or as may be otherwise required by law, or from participating or cooperating in any action, investigation or proceeding with, or providing truthful information to, any governmental agency, legislative body, self-regulatory organization, or the legal departments of the Och-Ziff Group.

(f) Each Individual Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that an attempted or threatened breach by such Person of this Section 2.13 would cause irreparable injury to the Partnership and the other members of the Och-Ziff Group not compensable in money damages and the Partnership shall be entitled, in addition to the remedies set forth in Sections 2.13(g) and 2.13(i), to obtain a temporary, preliminary or permanent injunction prohibiting any breaches of this Section 2.13 without being required to prove damages or furnish any bond or other security.

(g) Each Individual Limited Partner agrees that it would be impossible to compute the actual damages resulting from a breach of Section 2.13(b) or, if applicable, any of the non-competition covenants provided in such Partner’s Partner Agreement, and that the amounts set forth in this Section 2.13(g) are reasonable and do not operate as a penalty, but are a genuine pre-estimate of the anticipated loss that the Partnership and other members of the Och-Ziff Group would suffer from a breach of Section 2.13(b) or, if applicable, of any of the non-competition covenants provided in such Partner’s Partner Agreement. In the event an Individual Limited Partner breaches Section 2.13(b) or, if applicable, any of the non-competition covenants provided in such Partner’s Partner Agreement, then:

(i) on or after the date of such breach, any unvested Class A Common Units of such Partner and its Related Trusts, if any, shall cease to vest and thereafter shall be reallocated in accordance with this Section 2.13(g);

(ii) on or after the date of such breach, no allocations shall be made to the respective Capital Accounts of such Partner and its Related Trusts, if any, and no distributions shall be made to such Partners;

(iii) on or after the date of such breach, no Transfer (including any exchange pursuant to the Exchange Agreement) of any of the Class A Common Units of such Partner or its Related Trusts, if any, shall be permitted under any circumstances notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement;

(iv) on or after the date of such breach, no sale, exchange, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, bequeath, creation of an encumbrance, or any other transfer or disposition of any kind may be made of any of the Class A Shares acquired by such Partner or its Related Trusts, if any, through an exchange pursuant to the Exchange Agreement;

(v) as of the applicable Reallocation Date, all of the unvested and vested Class A Common Units of such Partner and its Related Trusts, if any, and all allocations and distributions on such Class A Common Units that would otherwise have been received by such Partners on or after the date of such breach shall be reallocated from such Partners to the Continuing Partners in proportion to the total number of Original Common Units owned by each such Continuing Partner and its Original Related Trusts;

(vi) each of such Partner and its Related Trusts, if any, agrees that, on the Reallocation Date, it shall immediately:

(A) pay to the Continuing Partners, in proportion to the total number of Original Common Units owned by each such Continuing Partner and its Original Related Trusts, a lump-sum cash amount equal to the sum of: (i) the total after-tax proceeds received by such Individual Limited Partner or Related Trust thereof for any Class A Shares acquired at any time pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and that were

subsequently transferred during the 24-month period prior to the date of such breach; and (ii) any distributions received by such Individual Limited Partner or Related Trust thereof during such 24-month period on Class A Shares acquired pursuant to the Exchange Agreement;

(B) transfer any Class A Shares that were acquired at any time pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and held by such Individual Limited Partner or Related Trust thereof on and after the date of such breach to the Continuing Partners in proportion to the total number of Original Common Units owned by each such Continuing Partner and its Original Related Trusts; and

(C) pay to the Continuing Partners in proportion to the total number of Original Common Units owned by each such Continuing Partner and its Original Related Trusts a lump-sum cash amount equal to the sum of: (i) the total after-tax proceeds received by such Individual Limited Partner or Related Trust thereof for any Class A Shares acquired at any time pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and that were subsequently transferred on or after the date of such breach; and (ii) all distributions received by such Individual Limited Partner or Related Trust thereof on or after the date of such breach on Class A Shares acquired pursuant to the Exchange Agreement; and

(vii) such Partner and its Related Trusts agrees that he shall receive no payments, if any, that he would have otherwise received under the Tax Receivable Agreement on or after the date of such breach, and shall have no further rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement, Exchange Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement after such date.

Any reallocated Class A Common Units received by a Continuing Partner pursuant to this Section 2.13(g) shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be Class A Common Units of such Continuing Partner and subject to the same vesting requirements, if any, in accordance with Section 8.4 as the transferring Limited Partner had been before his breach of Section 2.13(b) or, if applicable, of the relevant non-competition covenants provided in such Partner’s Partner Agreement. Any Continuing Partner receiving reallocated Class A Common Units pursuant to this Section 2.13(g) shall be permitted to exchange fifty percent (50%) of such number of Class A Common Units (and sell any Class A Shares issued in respect thereof), notwithstanding the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 8.1 in the event that the Exchange Committee (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) determines in its sole discretion that the reallocation is taxable; provided, however, that such exchange of Class A Common Units is made in accordance with the Exchange Agreement.

(h) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.13(g) to the contrary, the General Partner may elect in its sole and absolute discretion to waive the application of any portion, all or none of the provisions of Section 2.13(g) in the case of the breach by any Partner of Section 2.13(b) or, if applicable, of the relevant non-competition covenants provided in such Partner’s Partner Agreement.

(i) Without limiting the right of the Partnership to obtain injunctive relief for any attempted or threatened breach of this Section 2.13, in the event a Partner breaches

Section 2.13(c), (d) or (e), then at the election of the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion the Partnership shall be entitled to seek any other available remedies including, but not limited to, an award of money damages.

Section 2.14 Insurance. The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance, to the extent and in such amounts as the General Partner shall deem reasonable, on behalf of Covered Persons and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by any such Person in connection with the activities of the Partnership and/or its Subsidiaries regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power or obligation to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. The Partnership may enter into indemnity contracts with Covered Persons and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine and adopt written procedures pursuant to which arrangements are made for the advancement of expenses and the funding of obligations under this Section 2.14, and containing such other procedures regarding indemnification as are appropriate and consistent with this Agreement.

Section 2.15 Representations and Warranties. Each Partner hereby represents and warrants to the others and to the Partnership as follows:

(a) Such Partner has all requisite power to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement; the performance of its obligations hereunder will not result in a breach or a violation of, or a default under, any material agreement or instrument by which such Partner or any of such Partner’s properties is bound or any statute, rule, regulation, order or other law to which it is subject, nor require the obtaining of any consent, approval, permit or license from or filing with, any governmental authority or other Person by such Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by such Partner of this Agreement.

(b) This Agreement constitutes (assuming its due authorization and execution by the other Partners) such Partner’s legal, valid and binding obligation.

(c) Each Limited Partner expressly agrees that the Partners may, subject to the restrictions set forth in Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.16, 2.18 and 2.19 and, if applicable, any Partner Agreement, regarding Confidential Information, Intellectual Property, non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, non-interference, devotion of time, short selling and hedging transactions, and compliance with relevant policies and procedures, engage independently or with others, for its or their own accounts and for the accounts of others, in other business ventures and activities of every nature and description whether such ventures are competitive with the business of the Partnership or otherwise, including, without limitation, purchasing, selling or holding investments for the account of any other Person or enterprise or for its or his own account, regardless of whether or not any such investments are also purchased, sold or held for the direct or indirect account of the Partnership. Neither the Partnership nor any Limited Partner shall have any rights or obligations by virtue of this Agreement in and to such independent ventures and activities or the income or profits derived therefrom.

(d) Such Partner understands that (i) the Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and (ii) the Interests may

not be sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of except in accordance with this Agreement and then only if they are subsequently registered in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws is not required.

(e) Such Partner understands that the Partnership is not obligated to register the Interests for resale under any applicable federal or state securities laws and that the Partnership is not obligated to supply such Partner with information or assistance in complying with any exemption under any applicable federal or state securities laws.

Section 2.16 Devotion of Time. Each Individual Limited Partner agrees to devote substantially all of his business time, skill, energies and attention to his responsibilities to the Och-Ziff Group in a diligent manner at all times prior to his Special Withdrawal or Withdrawal.

Section 2.17 Partnership Property; Partnership Interest. No real or other property of the Partnership shall be deemed to be owned by any Partner individually, but shall be owned by and title shall be vested solely in the Partnership. The Interests of the Partners shall constitute personal property.

Section 2.18 Short Selling and Hedging Transactions. While each Partner (including the Ziff Partner) is a Limited Partner of the Partnership (irrespective of whether or not a Special Withdrawal or Withdrawal has occurred in respect of such Partner) and at all times thereafter (other than with respect to the Ziff Partner), such Partner and its Affiliates shall not, without PMC Approval, directly or indirectly, (a) effect any short sale (as such term is defined in Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act) of Class A Shares or any short sale of any Related Security, or (b) enter into any swap or other transaction, other than a sale (which is not a short sale) of Class A Shares or any Related Security to the extent permitted by this Agreement, that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic risks, benefits or consequences of ownership of Class A Shares or any Related Security. The foregoing clause (b) is expressly agreed to preclude each Partner and its Affiliates, while such Partner (including the Ziff Partner) is a Limited Partner of the Partnership (irrespective of whether or not a Special Withdrawal or Withdrawal has occurred in respect of such Partner) and at all times thereafter (other than with respect to the Ziff Partner), from engaging in any hedging or other transaction (other than a sale, which is not a short sale, of Class A Shares or any Related Security to the extent permitted by this Agreement) which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a transfer of the economic risks, benefits or consequences of ownership of Class A Shares or any Related Security, or a disposition of Class A Shares or any Related Security, even if such transfer or disposition would be made by someone other than such Partner or Affiliate thereof or any Person contracting directly with such Partner or Affiliate.

Section 2.19 Compliance with Policies. Each Individual Limited Partner hereby agrees that he shall comply with all policies and procedures adopted by any member of the Och-Ziff Group or which Limited Partners are required to observe by law, or by any recognized stock exchange, or other regulatory body or authority.

ARTICLE III

INTERESTS AND ADMISSION OF PARTNERS

Section 3.1 Units and other Interests.

(a) General. The Partners, as of the date of the Prior Partnership Agreement, agreed among themselves that: (i) beginning on the date of the Prior Partnership Agreement, Interests in the Partnership shall be designated as “Class A Common Units” (“Class A Common Units”), “Class B Common Units” (“Class B Common Units”) and Class C Non-Equity Interests; (ii) except as expressly provided herein, a Class A Common Unit and a Class B Common Unit shall entitle the holder thereof to equal rights under this Agreement; (iii) holders of Class B Common Units may include the Initial General Partner in its capacity as a Limited Partner, which is the holder of all Class B Common Units as of the date hereof; (iv) from and after the date of the Prior Partnership Agreement, the rights and obligations in respect of the Interests of each applicable Original Partner and the Ziff Partner, as originally described in the Initial Partnership Agreement and such Partners’ respective Supplementary Agreements, shall be set forth exclusively within this Agreement, as amended and restated herein; and (v) the respective Interests of each applicable Original Partner and the Ziff Partner in the Class A Common Units and the Initial General Partner in its capacity as a Limited Partner in the Class B Common Units shall be as recorded in the books of the Partnership as being owned by such Partner pursuant to this Section 3.1.

(b) Certificated and Uncertificated Units. From time to time, the General Partner may establish other classes or series of Units pursuant to Section 3.2. Units may (but need not, in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner) be evidenced by a certificate (a “Certificate of Ownership”) in such form as the General Partner may approve in writing in its sole and absolute discretion. The Certificate of Ownership may contain such legends as may be required by law or as may be appropriate to evidence, if approved by the General Partner pursuant to Section 8.1, the pledge of a Partner’s Units. Each Certificate of Ownership shall be signed by or on behalf of the General Partner by either manual or facsimile signature. The Certificates of Ownership of the Partnership shall be numbered and registered in the register or transfer books of the Partnership as they are issued. The Partnership or other Transfer Agent shall act as registrar and transfer agent for the purposes of registering the ownership and Transfer of Units. If a Certificate of Ownership is defaced, lost or destroyed it may be replaced on such terms, if any, as to evidence and indemnity as the General Partner determines in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Class A Common Units, Class B Common Units and Class D Common Units shall not be evidenced by Certificates of Ownership and a Partner’s interest in any such Common Units shall be reflected through appropriate entries in the books and records of the Partnership.

(c) Record Holder. Except to the extent that the Partnership shall have received written notice of a Transfer of Units and such Transfer complies with the applicable requirements of Section 8.1, the Partnership shall be entitled to treat (i) in the case of Units evidenced by Certificates of Ownership, the Person in whose name any Certificates of Ownership stand on the books of the Partnership and (ii) in the case of Units not evidenced by Certificates of Ownership and Class C Non-Equity Interests, the Person listed in the books of the

Partnership as the holder of such Units or Class C Non-Equity Interests, as the absolute owner thereof, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such Units or Class C Non-Equity Interests on the part of any other Person. The name and business address of each Partner shall be set forth in the books of the Partnership.

(d) Common Unit and Class C Non-Equity Interest Voting Rights. Holders of Common Units (other than Class B Common Units) shall have no voting, consent or approval rights with respect to any matter submitted to holders of Units for their consent or approval, except as set forth in Section 10.2. Holders of Class C Non-Equity Interests shall have no voting, consent or approval rights with respect to any matter.

(e) Automatic Conversion of Class A Common Units. If, as a result of an exchange pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Och-Ziff or any of its Subsidiaries (excluding any Operating Group Entity and any Subsidiary of an Operating Group Entity) acquires (in any manner) any Class A Common Units, each such Class A Common Unit will automatically convert into one Class B Common Unit, unless otherwise determined or cancelled.

(f) Class D Common Units. From the date hereof, Interests in the Partnership shall include classes of Units designated as “Class D Common Units” (“Class D Common Units”). Class D Common Units may be issued in one or more series of such class. Class D Common Units of the first such series shall be designated as “Class D-1 Common Units,” with each subsequent series of Class D Common Units to be designated with a consecutive number or as otherwise recorded in the books of the Partnership and the applicable Partner Agreement. The respective Interests in the Class D Common Units of each Individual Limited Partner and his Related Trusts, if any, holding such Class D Common Units (each, a “Class D Limited Partner”) shall be as recorded in the books of the Partnership as being owned by such Partners pursuant to this Section 3.1. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or the applicable Partner Agreement, if any, of any Class D Limited Partner, each series of Class D Common Units shall have the same rights, powers and duties, and the rights, powers and duties applicable to Class D Common Units shall be as set forth below and elsewhere in this Agreement:

(i) For purposes of Section 10.2(a), the Class D Common Units shall be treated as Class A Common Units.

(ii) No Class D Limited Partner shall be permitted to exchange any Class D Common Unit pursuant to the Exchange Agreement except to the extent that the General Partner determines that there has been sufficient Appreciation to result in such Class D Common Unit being economically equivalent to one Class A Common Unit consistent with the principles of Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and Section 6.1(c) (including with respect to the order of priority set forth therein). Such determination shall be made in writing (A) prior to any sale (including, but not limited to, by merger or otherwise) of Class A Common Units, (B) prior to any exchange of Class A Common Units pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and (C) at any other time as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion; provided that, in the case of the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), sales or exchanges solely by the Ziff Partner (and no other Limited Partners) shall not be taken into account. To the extent that the General Partner determines that all Class D Common Units of a Class D Limited Partner, in aggregate,

are not fully economically equivalent to Class A Common Units in connection with any determination described in clauses (A), (B) or (C) of the foregoing sentence, the General Partner shall make such determination with respect to as many of such Class D Limited Partner’s Class D Common Units as possible and shall continue to make such determinations at the time of each subsequent occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (A), (B) or (C) above. The Partners agree that, if the General Partner determines, in accordance with this Section 3.1(f)(ii), that any Class D Common Unit of a Class D Limited Partner has become economically equivalent to one Class A Common Unit, then such Class D Common Unit will automatically convert into a Class A Common Unit and such Class D Limited Partner shall be a Potential Tag-Along Seller for purposes of Sections 8.5(a) and 8.5(b) with respect to any proposed sale or exchange related to any such determination. The Partners further agree that any Class D Common Units and any Class A Common Units into which such Class D Common Units have converted shall be Company Securities for purposes of any Drag-Along Sale for purposes of Sections 8.6(a), 8.6(b) and 8.6(c) with respect to any proposed sale or exchange related to any such determination.

(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1(f)(ii) and the final sentence of Section 8.5(b), in circumstances wherein the General Partner shall permit other Limited Partners to participate in (i) a sale of Class A Common Units, or (ii) an exchange of Class A Common Units pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the General Partner shall allow each Class D Limited Partner and his Related Trusts, if any, to make such Capital Contributions to the Partnership as would enable the relevant number of Class D Common Units of such Class D Limited Partner and his Related Trusts, if any, to become economically equivalent to Class A Common Units, in which case each such Class D Common Unit will automatically convert into a Class A Common Unit and such Class D Limited Partner and his Related Trusts, if any, will then be permitted to participate in such sale or exchange.

(iv) If any Class D Limited Partner does not participate in any sale or exchange of Common Units by the other Limited Partners occurring within two years after the applicable Issue Date of such Class D Limited Partner’s Class D Common Units and in which such Class D Limited Partner would have been entitled to participate in accordance with Sections 3.1(f)(ii) or 3.1(f)(iii), then, following the end of such two-year period, such Class D Limited Partner shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 3.1(f)(ii) or 3.1(f)(iii), be entitled to exchange the number of Common Units equal to such Class D Limited Partner’s pro rata share of the total number of Common Units that all Individual Limited Partners and their Related Trusts were entitled to Transfer in such sale or exchange.

(v) Each Class D Limited Partner that is an Individual Limited Partner shall be issued one Class B Share in respect of any additional complete Partnership Unit owned by him and his Related Trusts, if any, with each such Class B Share to be issued to such Class D Limited Partner on the same date as the conversion of the relevant partnership unit(s) in the relevant Operating Group Entity(ies) that gives rise to such Class D Limited Partner’s entitlement to such Class B Share. Simultaneously with the first such issuance to such Class D Limited Partner of Class B Shares, such Class B

Limited Partner shall be joined to the Class B Shareholders Agreement. For the purposes of this Section 3.1(f)(v), a “Partnership Unit” shall mean the ownership of one Class A Common Unit in each of the three Operating Group Entities.

(g) Adjustments to Class D Common Units. The General Partner shall maintain a one-to-one correspondence between each Class D Common Unit and each Class A Common Unit into which each such Class D Common Unit may convert, and may make equitable adjustments to the Class D Common Units to take into account changes in the number of Common Units, reclassifications, recapitalizations and similar factors provided that such adjustments are consistent with the intent of Section 6.1(c) and the other relevant provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that no such equitable adjustment may adversely affect the Class D Common Units’ rights to the allocations and distributions set forth in this Agreement and any applicable Partner Agreement.

Section 3.2 Issuance of Additional Units and other Interests.

(a) Additional Units. The General Partner may from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion admit any Person as an additional Limited Partner of the Partnership (each such Person, if so admitted, an “Additional Limited Partner” and, collectively, the “Additional Limited Partners”). A Person shall be deemed admitted as a Limited Partner at the time such Person (i) executes this Agreement or a counterpart of this Agreement and (ii) is named as a Limited Partner in the books of the Partnership. Each Substitute Limited Partner shall be deemed an Additional Limited Partner whose admission as an Additional Limited Partner has been approved in writing by the General Partner for all purposes hereunder. Subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing requirements and Sections 4.1(c) and 10.2(b), the General Partner is hereby expressly authorized to cause the Partnership to issue additional Units for such consideration and on such terms and conditions, and to such Persons, including the General Partner, any Limited Partner or any of their Affiliates, as shall be established by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, in each case without the approval of any other Partner or any other Person. Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to Sections 4.1(c) and 10.2(b), the General Partner is expressly authorized to cause the Partnership to issue Units (A) upon the conversion, redemption or exchange of any debt or other securities issued by the Partnership, (B) for less than fair market value or no consideration, so long as the General Partner concludes that such issuance is in the best interests of the Partnership and its Partners, and (C) in connection with the merger of any other Person into the Partnership if the applicable merger agreement provides that Persons are to receive Units in exchange for their interests in the Person merging into the Partnership. The General Partner is hereby expressly authorized to take any action, including without limitation amending this Agreement without the approval of any other Partner, to reflect any issuance of additional Units. Subject to Sections 4.1(c) and 10.2(b), additional Units may be Class A Common Units, Class B Common Units or other Units.

(b) Unit Designations. Subject to Section 10.2(b), any additional Units may be issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any of such classes, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers and duties (including, without limitation, rights, powers and duties that may be senior or otherwise entitled to preference over existing Units) as shall be determined by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion without the approval of any Limited Partner or any

other Person, and set forth in a written document thereafter attached to and made an exhibit to this Agreement, which exhibit shall be an amendment to this Agreement and shall be incorporated herein by this reference (each, a “Unit Designation”).

(c) Unit Rights. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to Sections 4.1(c) and 10.2(b), in respect of additional Units the General Partner shall have authority to specify (i) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to holders of each such class or series of Units; (ii) the right of holders of each such class or series of Units to share (on a pari passu, junior or preferred basis) in Partnership distributions; (iii) the rights of holders of each such class or series of Units upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; (iv) the voting rights, if any, of holders of each such class or series of Units; and (v) the conversion, redemption or exchange rights applicable to each such class or series of Units. The total number of Units that may be created and issued pursuant to this Section 3.2 is not limited.

(d) Class C Non-Equity Interests. Class C Non-Equity Interests may only be issued to a Limited Partner as consideration for the provision of services to the Partnership in the form of future allocations of Net Income to such Limited Partner. No Partner may, under any circumstances, Transfer any Class C Non-Equity Interests, and any purported Transfer of Class C Non-Equity Interests shall be null and void and of no force and effect. Holders of Class C Non-Equity Interests shall have no right to receive any allocations thereon, and allocations, if any, made thereon to such Limited Partner need not be made in proportion to the number of Common Units or other Units held by such Limited Partner. Holders of Class C Non-Equity Interests shall have only the limited rights expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Partnership or other Transfer Agent shall act as registrar and transfer agent for the purposes of registering the ownership of Class C Non-Equity Interests.

(e) Additional Limited Partners. Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, including Section 10.2(b), the rights and obligations of an Additional Limited Partner to which Units are issued shall be set forth in such Additional Limited Partner’s Partner Agreement, the Unit Designation relating to the Units issued to such Additional Limited Partner or a written document thereafter attached to and made an exhibit to this Agreement, which exhibit shall be an amendment to this Agreement (but shall not require the approval of any Limited Partner) and shall be incorporated herein by this reference. Such rights and obligations may include, without limitation, provisions describing the vesting of the Units issued to such Additional Limited Partner and the reallocation of such Units or other consequences of the Withdrawal of such Additional Limited Partner other than due to a breach of any of the covenants in Section 2.13(b) or, if applicable, any of those provided in such Additional Limited Partner’s Partner Agreement.

ARTICLE IV

VOTING AND MANAGEMENT

Section 4.1 General Partner: Power and Authority.

(a) Pursuant to the Prior Partnership Agreement, Och-Ziff GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Withdrawn General Partner”), was removed as general partner of the Partnership and the Initial General Partner was admitted as general partner of the Partnership from the date of the Prior Partnership Agreement. The business and affairs of the Partnership shall be managed exclusively by the General Partner; provided, however, that the General Partner may delegate such power and authority to the Partner Management Committee (or its Chairman), the Partner Performance Committee (or its Chairman) or such other committee (or its chairman) as it shall deem necessary, advisable or appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion from time to time, which delegation may be set forth in this Agreement, as an amendment hereto (which shall not require the vote or approval of any Limited Partner) or in a resolution duly adopted by the General Partner. Initially the General Partner has delegated certain power and authority to the Partner Management Committee and the Partner Performance Committee, as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement. The General Partner shall have the power and authority, on behalf of and in the name of the Partnership, to carry out any and all of the objects and purposes and exercise any and all of the powers of the Partnership and to perform all acts which it may deem necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Such acts include, but are not limited to, the approval of a merger or consolidation involving the Partnership, or of the conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance of the Partnership, or of the compromise of any obligation of a Partner to make a contribution or return money or other property to the Partnership, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, by the General Partner without the consent or approval of any of the other Partners. Appraisal rights permitted under Section 17-212 of the Act shall not apply or be incorporated into this Agreement, and no Partner or assignee of an Interest shall have any of the dissenter or appraisal rights described therein. The Limited Partners, in their capacity as limited partners (and not as officers of the General Partner or members of any committee established by the General Partner), shall have no part in the management of the Partnership and shall have no authority or right to act on behalf of or bind the Partnership in connection with any matter. The Partners agree that all determinations, decisions and actions made or taken by the General Partner, the Partner Management Committee (or its Chairman) or the Partner Performance Committee (or its Chairman) in accordance with this Agreement shall be conclusive and absolutely binding upon the Partnership, the Partners and their respective successors, assigns and personal representatives.

(b) Limited Partners holding a majority of the outstanding Class B Common Units shall have the right to remove the General Partner at any time, with or without cause. Upon the withdrawal or removal of the General Partner, Limited Partners holding a majority of the outstanding Class B Common Units shall have the right to appoint a successor General Partner; provided, however, that any successor General Partner must be a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Och-Ziff. Any Person appointed as a successor General Partner by the Limited Partners holding a majority of the outstanding Class B Common Units shall become a successor General Partner for all purposes herein, and shall be vested with the powers and rights of the transferring General Partner, and shall be liable for all obligations of the

General Partner arising from and after such date, and shall be responsible for all duties of the General Partner, once such Person has executed such instruments as may be necessary to effectuate its admission and to confirm its agreement to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement in its capacity as the General Partner.

(c) In order to protect the economic and legal rights of the Original Partners set forth in this Agreement and the Exchange Agreement, unless the General Partner has received PMC Approval, (i) the General Partner shall not take any action, and shall not permit any Subsidiary of the Partnership to take any action, that is prohibited under Section 2.9 of the Och-Ziff LLC Agreement and (ii) the General Partner shall cause the Partnership and its Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions of Section 2.9 of the Och-Ziff LLC Agreement.

(d) The General Partner may, from time to time, employ any Person or engage third parties to render services to the Partnership on such terms and for such compensation as the General Partner may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, including, without limitation, attorneys, investment consultants, brokers or finders, independent auditors and printers. Such employees and third parties may be Affiliates of the General Partner or of one or more of the Limited Partners. Persons retained, engaged or employed by the Partnership may also be engaged, retained or employed by and act on behalf of any Partner or any of their respective Affiliates.

Och, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.

(c) Procedure. Meetings of the Partner Performance Committee shall be held at such time, at such place and in such manner as the Chairman shall determine (or, in the case of there being no Chairman, at such times as a majority of the other members of the Partner Performance Committee request). When the Partner Performance Committee acts by full committee, each member shall have one vote and the vote of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. Och shall break any deadlock. The Chairman of the Partner Performance Committee shall have the ability to take action as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Where the Chairman acts unilaterally, no meeting need be held. Members of the Partner Performance Committee may participate in a meeting of the Partner Performance Committee by means of telephone, video conferencing or other communications technology by means of which all Persons participating in the meeting can hear and be heard. Any member of the Partner Performance Committee who is unable to attend a meeting of the Partner Performance Committee may grant in writing to another member of the Partner Performance Committee such member’s proxy to vote on any matter upon which action is to be taken at such meeting. No meeting may be held without the attendance of a majority of the members of the Partner Performance Committee, including the Chairman (if any).

Section 4.4 Books and Records; Accounting. The General Partner shall have responsibility for the day-to-day management and general oversight of the accounting and finance function of the Partnership and shall keep at the principal office of the Partnership (or at

such other place as the General Partner shall determine) true and complete books and records regarding the status of the business and financial condition and results of operations of the Partnership. The books and records of the Partnership shall be kept in accordance with the federal income tax accounting methods and rules determined by the General Partner, which methods and rules shall reflect all transactions of the Partnership and shall be appropriate and adequate for the business of the Partnership.

Section 4.5 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Partnership shall be responsible for and shall pay out of funds of the Partnership determined by the General Partner to be available for such purpose, all expenses and obligations of the Partnership, including, without limitation, those incurred by the Partnership or the General Partner or their Affiliates, or the Partner Management Committee or the Partner Performance Committee in connection with the formation, conversion, operation or management of the Partnership and the business conducted by the Partnership, in organizing the Partnership and preparing, negotiating, executing, delivering, amending and modifying this Agreement.

Section 4.6 Partnership Tax and Information Returns.

(a) The Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to timely file all returns of the Partnership that are required for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes. The Tax Matters Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to all Partners necessary tax information as promptly as possible after the end of the Fiscal Year; provided, however, that delivery of such tax information may be subject to delay as a result of the late receipt of any necessary tax information from an entity in which the Partnership holds a direct or indirect interest. Each Partner agrees to file all U.S. federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed by it in a manner consistent with the information provided to it by the Partnership. The classification, realization and recognition of income, gain, losses and deductions and other items shall be on the accrual method of accounting for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine whether the Partnership should make any elections permitted by the tax laws of the United States, the several states and other relevant jurisdictions.

(c) The General Partner shall designate one Partner as the Tax Matters Partner (as defined in the Code). The Tax Matters Partner shall be the General Partner until the General Partner designates another Partner in writing. The Tax Matters Partner is authorized and required to represent the Partnership (at the Partnership’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Partnership’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Partnership funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. Each Partner agrees to cooperate with the Tax Matters Partner and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably required by the Tax Matters Partner to conduct such proceedings.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner is authorized to take any action that may be required to assist or cause the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries to comply with any withholding requirements established

under the Code or any other federal, state, local or foreign law including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445 and 1446 of the Code. To the extent that the Partnership is required or elects to withhold or otherwise pays over to any taxing authority any amount resulting from the allocation or distribution of income to any Partner (including, without limitation, by reason of Section 1446 of the Code), the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, treat the amount withheld as a distribution of cash pursuant to Section 7.1 or Article IX in the amount of such withholding from or with respect to such Partner or the amount paid over as an expense to be borne by the Partners generally.

ARTICLE V

CONTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

Section 5.1 Capital Contributions.

(a) Limited Partners may make Capital Contributions at such times and in such amounts as shall be determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that (i) no Original Related Trust or Subsequent Related Trust shall be obligated to make Capital Contributions pursuant to this Section 5.1(a) and (ii) no other Related Trust shall be obligated to make Capital Contributions pursuant to this Section 5.1(a) unless otherwise determined by the General Partner.

(b) In the event that the Partnership is required at any time to return any distribution it has received from any fund or investment vehicle or other entity, each Partner who was a Partner at the time such distribution was distributed by the Partnership and who received a portion of such distribution agrees to make a Capital Contribution in proportion to its Percentage Interest at the time of such distribution to enable the Partnership to return such distribution.

Section 5.2 Capital Accounts.

(a) The General Partner shall maintain, for each Partner owning Units or Class C Non-Equity Interests, a separate Capital Account with respect to such Partner in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Such Capital Account shall be increased by (i) the amount of all Capital Contributions made to the Partnership with respect to any such Units or Class C Non-Equity Interests pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) all items of Partnership income and gain (including, without limitation, income and gain exempt from tax) computed in accordance with Section 5.2(b) and allocated with respect to any such Units and Class C Non-Equity Interests pursuant to Section 6.1, and decreased by (x) the amount of cash or Net Agreed Value of all actual and deemed distributions of cash or property made with respect to any such Units and Class C Non-Equity Interests pursuant to this Agreement and (y) all items of Partnership deduction and loss computed in accordance with Section 5.2(b) and allocated with respect to any such Units pursuant to Section 6.1. Except as otherwise indicated in this Agreement, the foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulation.

(b) For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, loss or deduction, which is to be allocated pursuant to Article VI and is to be reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including, without limitation, any method of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization used for that purpose); provided, however, that:

(i) Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Partnership and, as to those items described in Section 705(a)(1)(B) or 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, without regard to the fact that such items are not includable in gross income or are neither currently deductible nor capitalized for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment in the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain or loss.

(ii) Any income, gain or loss attributable to the taxable disposition of any Partnership property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property as of such date of disposition were equal in amount to the Partnership’s Carrying Value with respect to such property as of such date.

(iii) The Capital Account balance of each Partner and the Carrying Value of all Partnership Property shall be adjusted in accordance with the rules set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect the Partner’s allocable share (as determined under Article IV) of the items of Net Income or Net Loss that would be realized by the Partnership if it sold all of its property at its fair market value (taking Code Section 7701(g) into account) on (a) the date of the acquisition of any additional interest in the Partnership by any new or existing Partner in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution; (b) the date of the distribution of more than a de minimis amount of Partnership assets to a Partner; (c) the date any interest in the Partnership is relinquished to the Partnership; or (d) any other date specified in the Treasury Regulations or as otherwise determined by the General Partner; provided, however, that adjustments pursuant to clauses (a), (b) (c) and (d) above shall be made only if the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that such adjustments are necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Partners.

(c) A transferee of Units shall succeed to a pro rata portion of the Capital Account of the transferor relating to the Units so Transferred, unless otherwise determined by the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Initial General Partner shall not succeed to any portion of any of the Investment Capital Accounts of the holders of Class A Common Units that are purchased by the Partnership with the proceeds received from the IPO and the DIC Sahir Transaction.

(d) Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied to the contrary in this Agreement, no Partner shall have the right to request, demand, or receive any distribution in respect of such Partner’s Capital Account from the Partnership (other than as expressly provided in Article VII or Article IX).

Section 5.3 Investment Capital Accounts. Until the date on which the Investment Distributions occur, the General Partner shall maintain the separate Investment Capital Accounts of the Original Partners, adjusted to take into account items of Fund Net Profits and Fund Net Losses allocated to such Partners under Article VI, in accordance with the principles of the Initial Partnership Agreement.

Section 5.4 Determinations by General Partner. Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event the General Partner shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto, are computed in order to effectuate the intended economic sharing arrangement of the Partners, the General Partner may make such modification.

ARTICLE VI

ALLOCATIONS

Section 6.1 Allocations for Capital Account Purposes. For purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts and in determining the rights of the Partners among themselves, the Partnership’s items of income, gain, loss and deduction (computed in accordance with Section 5.2(b)) shall be allocated among the Partners in each taxable year (or portion thereof) as provided herein below.

(a) Net Income. Subject to the terms of any Unit Designation and Section 6.1(c), after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.1(e), Net Income for each taxable year and all items of income, gain, loss and deduction taken into account in computing Net Income for such taxable year shall be allocated to the Partners: first, with respect to Partners that have Class C Non-Equity Interests, in amounts, if any, as determined by Class C Approval in respect of each such Partner for such taxable year and, second, in accordance with the respective Percentage Interests of the Partners.

(b) Net Loss. Subject to the terms of any Unit Designation and Section 6.1(c), after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.1(e), Net Loss for each taxable period and all items of income, gain, loss and deduction taken into account in computing Net Loss for such taxable period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests; provided, however, that to the extent any allocation of Net Loss would cause any Partner to have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account at the end of such taxable year (or increase any existing deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account), such allocation of Net Loss shall be reallocated among the other Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(c) Net Income or Loss upon Sale. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary (subject to the terms of any Unit Designation, and after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.1(e)):

(i) items of Net Income realized in connection with a Sale shall be specially allocated in the following order:

(A) first, pro rata among the Partners holding Units (“Pre-Existing Units”) that were outstanding immediately prior to the date of issuance (the “Issue Date”) of the first series of Class D Common Units in accordance with the number of such Pre-Existing Units until the aggregate amount so allocated to such Pre-Existing Units equals the difference between the fair market value of the Partnership immediately prior to such Issue Date and the aggregate Economic Capital Account Balances of Pre-Existing Units immediately prior to such Issue Date; provided that the principles of this Section 6.1(c)(i)(A) shall be applied with respect to each subsequent series of Class D Common Units so as to include Units that have been allocated their full Priority Allocation under Section 6.1(c)(i)(B) as Pre-Existing Units and to take into account the difference between the fair market value of the Partnership and the aggregate Economic Capital Account Balances of Pre-Existing Units immediately prior to issuance of such subsequent series;

(B) second, to the Class D Limited Partners, provided that such allocations shall be made: (i) so that each series of Class D Common Units issued on any date receives such allocations of Net Income in an aggregate amount equal to the Priority Allocation with respect to such series of Class D Common Units prior to any such allocations being made to any series of Class D Common Units that were issued on a subsequent date; (ii) pro rata among all such Limited Partners with respect to their Class D Common Units that were issued on the same date in accordance with the Priority Allocations of such Class D Common Units; and (iii) such that no such Class D Limited Partner shall receive aggregate allocations of Net Income under this Section 6.1(c)(i)(B) that would exceed such Class D Limited Partner’s Appreciation with respect to his Class D Common Units; and

(ii) items of Net Loss realized in connection with such Sale shall be specially allocated in the following order:

(A) first, pro rata among the Partners receiving prior allocations of Net Income under Section 6.1(c)(i)(A), to the extent of such prior allocations of Net Income; and

(B) thereafter, as determined by the General Partner in a manner consistent with the intent of this Section 6.1(c), which is to make the Economic Capital Account Balance associated with each Class D Common Unit economically equivalent to the Economic Capital Account Balance associated with a Class A Common Unit, but only to the extent that the Partnership has recognized cumulative net gains with respect to its assets since the issuance of the relevant Class D Common Unit.

(d) Fund Net Profits and Fund Net Losses. Items of Fund Net Profits and Fund Net Losses shall be allocated to the Original Partners in accordance with their Investment Percentages consistent with the principles of the Initial Partnership Agreement.

(e) Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1, the following special allocations shall be made for such taxable period:

(i) Partnership Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable period, each Partner shall be allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(6), 1.704-2(g)(2) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(i), or any successor provision. For purposes of this Section 6.1(e), each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income and gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(e) with respect to such taxable period (other than an allocation pursuant to Section 6.1(e)(iii) and 6.1(e)(vi)). This Section 6.1(e)(i) is intended to comply with the Partnership Minimum Gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(ii) Chargeback of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6.1 (other than Section 6.1(e)(i)), except as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable period, any Partner with a share of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain at the beginning of such taxable period shall be allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii), or any successor provisions. For purposes of this Section 6.1(e), each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income and gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(e), other than Section 6.1(e)(i) and other than an allocation pursuant to Section 6.1(e)(v) and 6.1(e)(vi), with respect to such taxable period. This Section 6.1(e)(ii) is intended to comply with the chargeback of items of income and gain requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iii) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury

Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the deficit balance, if any, in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible unless such deficit balance is otherwise eliminated pursuant to Section 6.1(e)(i) or (ii). This Section 6.1(e)(iii) is intended to qualify and be construed as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iv) Gross Income Allocations. In the event any Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any Partnership taxable period in excess of the sum of (A) the amount such Partner is required to restore pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and (B) the amount such Partner is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.1(e)(iv) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account as adjusted after all other allocations provided for in this Section 6.1 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.1(e)(iv) were not in this Agreement.

(v) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. If the General Partner determines that the Partnership’s Nonrecourse Deductions should be allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the General Partner is authorized, upon notice to the other Partners, to revise the prescribed ratio to the numerically closest ratio that does satisfy such requirements.

(vi) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated 100% to the Partner that bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If more than one Partner bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt, such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions attributable thereto shall be allocated between or among such Partners in accordance with the ratios in which they share such Economic Risk of Loss.

(vii) Nonrecourse Liabilities. Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3) shall be allocated among the Partners in the manner chosen by the General Partner and consistent with such Treasury Regulation.

(viii) Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m),

to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Treasury Regulations.

(ix) Curative Allocation. The Required Allocations are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all Required Allocations shall be offset either with other Required Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 6.1(e)(ix). Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI (other than the Required Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Required Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to the economic agreement among the Partners.

(x) The General Partner shall, with respect to each taxable period, (1) apply the provisions of Section 6.1(e)(ix) in whatever order is most likely to minimize the economic distortions that might otherwise result from the Required Allocations, and (2) divide all allocations pursuant to Section 6.1(e)(ix) among the Partners in a manner that is likely to minimize such economic distortions.

(xi) The Partnership shall specially allocate an amount of gross income equal to the Expense Amount to the General Partner.

Section 6.2 Allocations for Tax Purposes.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1.

(b) In an attempt to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities attributable to a Contributed Property or an Adjusted Property, items of income, gain, loss, depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions shall be allocated for U.S. federal income tax purposes among the Partners as follows:

(i)(A) In the case of a Contributed Property, such items attributable thereto shall be allocated among the Partners in the manner provided under Section 704(c) of the Code that takes into account the variation between the Agreed Value of such property and its adjusted basis at the time of contribution; and (B) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to a Contributed Property shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1.

(ii) (A) In the case of an Adjusted Property, such items attributable thereto shall (1) first, be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the Book-Tax Disparity of such property, and (2) second, in the event such property was originally a Contributed Property, be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with Section 6.2(b)(i)(A); and (B) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to an Adjusted Property shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1.

(iii) The General Partner may cause the Partnership to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities using any method or methods described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3 or that it determines is appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion.

(c) For the proper administration of the Partnership, the General Partner, as it determines in its sole and absolute discretion is necessary or appropriate to execute the provisions of this Agreement and to comply with U.S. federal, state and local tax law, may (i) adopt such conventions as it deems appropriate in determining the amount of depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions; (ii) make special allocations for federal income tax purposes of income (including, without limitation, gross income) or deductions; (iii) amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate (x) to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) or Section 704(c) of the Code or (y) otherwise to preserve or achieve uniformity of the Units (or any class or classes thereof); and (iv) adopt and employ methods for (A) the maintenance of Capital Accounts for book and tax purposes, (B) the determination and allocation of adjustments under Sections 704(c), 734 and 743 of the Code, (C) the determination and allocation of taxable income, tax loss and items thereof under this Agreement and pursuant to the Code, (D) the determination of the identities and tax classification of holders of Units, (E) the provision of tax information and reports to the holders of Units, (F) the adoption of reasonable conventions and methods for the valuation of assets and the determination of tax basis, (G) the allocation of asset values and tax basis, (H) the adoption and maintenance of accounting methods, (I) the recognition of the Transfer of Units and (J) tax compliance and other tax-related requirements, including without limitation, the use of computer software.

(d) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit recognized by the Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and allocated to the Partners in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be determined without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code that may be made by the Partnership; provided, however, that such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted (in the manner determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion) to take into account those adjustments permitted or required by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code.

(e) For purposes of determining the items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit allocable to any Partner with respect to any period, such items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, quarterly or other basis, as determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

(iv) Fourth, distributions shall be made as and when determined by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, in respect of any amounts allocated to a Partner’s Capital Account pursuant to Section 5.4.

(v) Fifth, distributions shall be made as and when determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion in accordance with the Partners’ respective Percentage Interests.

(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Investment Distributions shall be made to the applicable Original Partners in accordance with their Investment Capital Accounts, (B) the General Partner may, with the consent of the affected Partner, delay distribution of any amounts otherwise distributable to any Partner under this Section 7.1, and (C) in the event of the Partnership selling or otherwise disposing of substantially all of its assets or a dissolution of the Partnership, all distributions shall be made in accordance with Section 9.4.

Section 7.2 Distributions in Kind. The General Partner may cause the Partnership to make distributions of assets in kind in its sole and absolute discretion. Whenever the distributions provided for in Section 7.1 shall be distributable in property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property determined by the General Partner in good faith, and in the event of such a distribution there shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with Article VI the amount of Net Income or Net Loss that would

result if the distributed asset had been sold for an amount in cash equal to its fair market value at the time of the distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Net Income or Net Loss that would result if any asset distributed to a Partner as part of the Investment Distributions had been sold for cash equal to its fair market value at the time of the Investment Distributions shall be allocated pursuant to the foregoing sentence solely to the Original Partners receiving the distribution of such asset. No Partner shall have the right to demand that the Partnership distribute any assets in kind to such Partner.

Section 7.3 Tax Distributions. Subject to §17-607 of the Act, and unless determined otherwise by the General Partner in its sole discretion, the Partnership shall make distributions to each Partner for each calendar quarter ending after the date hereof as follows (collectively, the “Tax Distributions”):

(a) On or before the 10th day following the end of the First Quarterly Period of each calendar year, an amount equal to such Partner’s Presumed Tax Liability for the First Quarterly Period less the aggregate amount of Prior Distributions previously made to such Partner during such calendar year, excluding any Tax Distribution with respect to a previous calendar year;

(b) On or before the 10th day following the end of the Second Quarterly Period of each calendar year, an amount equal to such Partner’s Presumed Tax Liability for the Second Quarterly Period less the aggregate amount of Prior Distributions previously made to such Partner during such calendar year, excluding any Tax Distribution with respect to a previous calendar year;

(c) On or before the 10th day following the end of the Third Quarterly Period of each calendar year, an amount equal to such Partner’s Presumed Tax Liability for the Third Quarterly Period less the aggregate amount of Prior Distributions previously made to such Partner during such calendar year, excluding any Tax Distribution with respect to a previous calendar year;

(d) On or before the 10th day following the end of the Fourth Quarterly Period of each calendar year, an amount equal to such Partner’s Presumed Tax Liability for the Fourth Quarterly Period less the aggregate amount of Prior Distributions previously made to such Partner during such calendar year, excluding any Tax Distribution with respect to a previous calendar year; and

(e) Tax Distributions shall be made on the basis of a calendar year regardless of the Fiscal Year used by the Partnership. To the extent the General Partner determines in its sole and absolute discretion that the distributions made under the foregoing subsections (a) through (d) are insufficient to satisfy the Partners’ Presumed Tax Liability for the applicable calendar year, on or before the April 10th immediately following the applicable calendar year, an amount that the General Partner determines in its reasonable discretion will be sufficient to allow each Partner to satisfy his Presumed Tax Liability for the applicable calendar year, after taking into account all Prior Distributions made to the Partners with respect to the applicable calendar year, excluding any Tax Distribution with respect to a previous calendar year.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, other than Section 7.3(g), Tax Distributions shall be made: (i) to all Partners pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests; and (ii) as if each distributee Partner was allocated an amount of income in each Quarterly Period in respect of such Partner’s Units equal to the product of (x) the highest amount of income allocated to any Partner with respect to his Units, calculated on a per-Unit basis, taking into account any income allocations pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof and disregarding any adjustment required by Section 734 or Section 743 of the Code, multiplied by (y) the amount of Units held by such distributee Partner.

(g) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7.3, the Partnership shall make distributions in respect of the tax liability of a Partner arising from the allocation of any items hereunder to Class C Non-Equity Interests applying principles similar to the principles for determining Tax Distributions and Presumed Tax Liability, and amounts so allocated, determined or distributed with respect to Class C Non-Equity Interests of a Partner shall not be taken into account in determining any Tax Distributions in respect of Units.

Section 7.4 Expense Amount Distributions. The Partnership shall distribute any Expense Amount to the General Partner at such times as the General Partner shall determine in its sole discretion (an “Expense Amount Distribution”).

Section 7.5 Borrowing. Subject to Section 17-607 of the Act, the Partnership may borrow funds in order to make the Tax Distributions or Expense Amount Distributions.

Section 7.6 Restrictions on Distributions. The foregoing provisions of this Article VII to the contrary notwithstanding, no distribution shall be made: (a) if such distribution would violate any contract or agreement to which the Partnership is then a party or any law, rule, regulation, order or directive of any governmental authority then applicable to the Partnership; (b) to the extent that the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that any amount otherwise distributable should be retained by the Partnership to pay, or to establish a reserve for the payment of, any liability or obligation of the Partnership, whether liquidated, fixed, contingent or otherwise; or (c) to the extent that the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that the cash available to the Partnership is insufficient to permit such distribution.

ARTICLE VIII

TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF INTEREST; CESSATION OF PARTNER STATUS

Section 8.1 Transfer and Assignment of Interest.

(a) OZ Limited Partners. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Transfers of Common Units may only be made by OZ Limited Partners (x) in accordance with the other provisions of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, the vesting provisions in Section 8.4, except as expressly set forth in this Section 8.1(a) in respect of Transfers by Original Related Trusts), and (y) subject to Section 2.13(g). During the Restricted Period, no OZ Limited Partner shall be permitted to Transfer Common Units unless, following the date of such Transfer, the relevant Individual Limited Partner and its Related Trusts continue

to hold in the aggregate at least 25% of the Common Units of such Partners that have vested on or before the date of such Transfer, without regard to dispositions (such requirements, the “Minimum Retained Ownership Requirements”). An OZ Limited Partner may not Transfer all or any of such Partner’s Units without the prior written approval of the General Partner, which approval may be granted or withheld, with or without reason, in the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that, without the prior written approval of the General Partner, (i) an Original Related Trust may Transfer its Interest (including any unvested Units) in accordance with its Related Trust Supplementary Agreement to the relevant Subsequent Related Trust (provided, however, that such Subsequent Related Trust remains subject to the same vesting requirements in accordance with Section 8.4 as the transferring Original Related Trust had been before its Withdrawal), (ii) the Related Trust of any Individual Limited Partner may, at any time, subject to Section 2.13(g), Transfer such Related Trust’s Common Units (including any unvested Units) to such Individual Limited Partner as authorized by the terms of the relevant trust agreement (provided, however, that such Individual Limited Partner remains subject to the same vesting requirements in accordance with Section 8.4 as the transferring Related Trust had been before the Transfer), and (iii) any OZ Limited Partner may, at any time, subject to the Minimum Retained Ownership Requirements and Section 2.13(g), and provided further that the relevant Units have vested in accordance with Section 8.4, (A) Transfer any of such Partner’s Units in accordance with the Exchange Agreement, (B) Transfer any of such Partner’s Units to a Permitted Transferee of such Partner with PMC Approval, which PMC Approval may not be unreasonably withheld, (C) Transfer the Common Units (including all distributions thereon that would otherwise be received after the relevant date of Withdrawal) received by such Partner pursuant to Sections 2.13(g) and 8.3(a) to the extent permitted thereby, (D) Transfer by operation of law upon the death of an Individual Limited Partner or (E) Transfer any of such Partner’s Units to the extent permitted or required by Section 8.5 or 8.6. In addition, subject to Section 2.13(g) and the Minimum Retained Ownership Requirements, with prior PMC Approval, each OZ Limited Partner and such OZ Limited Partner’s Permitted Transferees may Transfer Units that have vested in accordance with applicable securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on Transfer and the Minimum Retained Ownership Requirements may be waived at any time with PMC Approval. A Limited Partner shall cease to be a Partner if, following a Transfer, he no longer has any Interest in the Partnership. An Original Related Trust shall cease to be a Partner, without the prior written consent of the General Partner, following the Transfer of such Original Related Trust’s Interest in accordance with its Related Trust Supplementary Agreement to the relevant Subsequent Related Trust.

(b) The Ziff Partner. Provided that the relevant Units have vested in accordance with Section 8.4, the Ziff Partner may (i) Transfer any of such Partner’s Units in accordance with the Exchange Agreement, (ii) Transfer Class A Common Units to public charities with PMC Approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, or (iii) Transfer any of such Partner’s Units to the extent permitted by Section 8.5. The foregoing restrictions on Transfer may be waived at any time with PMC Approval. In the event that a Transfer of the Ziff Partner’s Units is made, directly or indirectly, in accordance with this Section 8.1(b) to a natural person, the Units of such natural person may be Transferred upon his death by operation of law.

(c) Transfer and Exchange. When a request to register a Transfer of Units, together with the relevant Certificates of Ownership, if any, is presented to the Transfer

Agent, the Transfer Agent shall register the Transfer or make the exchange on the register or transfer books of the Transfer Agent if the requirements set forth in this Section 8.1 for such transactions are met; provided, however, that any Certificates of Ownership presented or surrendered for registration of Transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of Transfer in form satisfactory to the Transfer Agent duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. The Transfer Agent shall not be required to register a Transfer of any Units or exchange any Certificate of Ownership if such purported Transfer would cause the Partnership to violate the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Investment Company Act (including by causing any violation of the laws, rules, regulations, orders and other directives of any governmental authority) or otherwise violate this Section 8.1. In the event of any Transfer, the transferring Partner shall provide the address and facsimile number for each transferee as contemplated by Section 10.10 and shall cause each transferee to agree in writing to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Publicly Traded Partnership. No Transfer shall be permitted (and, if attempted, shall be void ab initio) if the General Partner determines in its sole and absolute discretion that such a Transfer would pose a risk that the Partnership would be a “publicly traded partnership” as defined in Section 7704 of the Code.

(e) Securities Laws. Each Partner and each assignee thereof hereby agrees that it will not effect any Transfer of all or any part of its Interest in the Partnership (whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law) in any manner contrary to the terms of this Agreement or that violates or causes the Partnership or the Partners to violate the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Investment Company Act, or the laws, rules, regulations, orders and other directives of any governmental authority.

Section 8.2 Withdrawal by General Partner. The General Partner shall not cease to act as the General Partner of the Partnership without the prior written approval of the Limited Partners holding a majority of the outstanding Class B Common Units.

Section 8.3 Withdrawal and Special Withdrawal of Limited Partners.

(a) Withdrawal.

(i) An Individual Limited Partner (other than ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. Och in the case of the following clauses (A) and (B)) shall immediately cease to be actively involved with the Partnership and its Affiliates (such event, a “Withdrawal”): (A) for Cause (as determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion) upon notice to the Individual Limited Partner from the General Partner; (B) for any reason or no reason upon a determination by majority vote of the Partner Performance Committee (which, if the Partner Performance Committee has a Chairman, may only be made upon the recommendation of such Chairman) and notice of such determination to the Individual Limited Partner from the Partner Performance Committee; or (C) upon the Individual Limited Partner otherwise (except as a result of death, Disability or a Special Withdrawal) ceasing to be, or providing notice to the General Partner of his intention to cease to be, actively involved with the Partnership and its Affiliates. In the event of the Withdrawal of an Individual Limited Partner, such Individual Limited Partner’s Related Trusts, if any, shall be subject to a required Withdrawal.

(ii) In the event of the Withdrawal of an Individual Original Partner prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (other than where the Withdrawal is due to a breach of any of the covenants in Section 2.13(b), in which case the provisions of Section 2.13(g) shall apply), all of the Class A Common Units (including all distributions thereon that would otherwise be received after the date of Withdrawal) of such Individual Original Partner and its Related Trusts, if any, that have not yet vested in accordance with Section 8.4 shall cease to vest with respect to such Partners and upon the Reallocation Date shall be reallocated to each Continuing Partner in such a manner that each such Continuing Partner receives Class A Common Units in proportion to the total number of Original Common Units of such Continuing Partner and its Original Related Trusts. Any reallocated Class A Common Units received by a Continuing Partner pursuant to this Section 8.3(a) shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be Class A Common Units of such Continuing Partner and subject to the same vesting requirements in accordance with Section 8.4 as the transferring Limited Partner had been before his Withdrawal; provided, however, that such Continuing Partner shall be permitted to exchange fifty percent (50%) of the number of Class A Common Units reallocated to it (and sell any Class A Shares issued in respect thereof), notwithstanding the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 8.1, in the event that the Exchange Committee (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) determines in its sole discretion that the reallocation of such Class A Common Units is taxable; provided, however, that such exchange of Class A Common Units is made in accordance with the Exchange Agreement.

(b) Special Withdrawal.

(i) An Individual Limited Partner (other than ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. Och) may be required to no longer be actively involved with the Partnership and its Affiliates for any reason other than Cause, in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner (such event, a “Special Withdrawal”), which shall not constitute a Withdrawal. Upon the Special Withdrawal of an Individual Limited Partner, such Individual Limited Partner’s Related Trusts, if any, shall also be subject to a Special Withdrawal.

(ii) In the event of the Special Withdrawal of any Limited Partner, such Limited Partner’s Common Units shall continue to vest in accordance with Section 8.4.

(c) Upon a Withdrawal or Special Withdrawal, an Individual Limited Partner shall: (i) have no right to access or use the property of the Partnership or its Affiliates, and (ii) not be permitted to provide services to, or on behalf of, the Partnership or its Affiliates.

(d) The provisions of Sections 8.3(a) and 8.3(b) may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived with PMC Approval.

(e) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no event affecting a Partner, including death, bankruptcy, insolvency or withdrawal from the Partnership, shall affect the Partnership.

(f) Following the Withdrawal of an OZ Limited Partner, from the applicable Reallocation Date such Limited Partner will be required to pay the same management fees and shall be subject to the same incentive allocation with respect to any remaining investments by such Limited Partner in any fund or account managed by Och-Ziff or any of its Subsidiaries as are applicable to other Investors that are not Affiliates of Och-Ziff in such funds or accounts.

Section 8.4 Vesting.

(a) All Class A Common Units purchased, indirectly, with proceeds from the IPO (including proceeds from any exercise of the Underwriter Option) and the DIC Sahir Transaction will be deemed to have fully vested on issuance and such purchase (and will be immediately cancelled after such purchase).

(b) Subject to Sections 2.13(g) and 8.3(a), all Original Common Units held by a Partner shall vest in equal installments on each anniversary date of the Closing Date for five years, beginning on the first anniversary date of the Closing Date; provided, however, that upon a Withdrawal (but not a Special Withdrawal), all unvested Units shall cease to vest and shall be reallocated pursuant to Section 8.3(a); and provided, however, that this Section 8.4(b) shall not prevent the Transfer of the unvested Interest of any Original Related Trust (including unvested Class A Common Units) in accordance with its Related Trust Supplementary Agreement to the relevant Subsequent Related Trust or the Transfer of unvested Class A Common Units of an Individual Limited Partner’s Related Trust to such Individual Limited Partner as authorized by the terms of the relevant trust agreement. In the event of the death or Disability of an Individual Limited Partner or in the event of a Transfer of any of such Individual Limited Partner’s Class A Common Units, such Class A Common Units shall continue to vest on the same schedule as set forth above. These vesting requirements may be waived at any time with PMC Approval.

(d) All Class C Non-Equity Interests held by a Limited Partner shall be cancelled upon the death, Disability, Withdrawal or Special Withdrawal of such Limited Partner.

(e) Units issued to Additional Limited Partners shall be subject to vesting, if at all, as described in Section 3.2(e).

Section 8.5 Tag-Along Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, prior to the consummation of a proposed Tag-Along Sale, the Potential Tag-Along Sellers shall be afforded the opportunity to participate in such Tag-Along Sale on a pro rata basis, as provided in Section 8.5(b) below.

(b) Prior to the consummation of a Tag-Along Sale, the OZ Limited Partners participating in such Tag-Along Sale (the “Tag-Along Sellers”) shall cause the Tag-Along Purchaser to offer in writing (such offer, a “Tag-Along Offer”) to purchase each Potential Tag-Along Seller’s Tag-Along Securities. In addition, the Tag-Along Offer shall set forth the consideration for which the Tag-Along Sale is proposed to be made and all other material terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Sale. If the Tag-Along Offer is accepted by some or all of such Potential Tag-Along Sellers within five Business Days after its receipt then the number of Class A Shares and/or Class A Common Units to be sold to the Tag-Along Purchaser by the Tag-Along Sellers shall be reduced by the number of Class A Shares and/or Class A Common Units to be purchased by the Tag-Along Purchaser from such accepting Potential Tag-Along Sellers. The purchase from the accepting Potential Tag-Along Sellers shall be made on the same terms and conditions (including timing of receipt of consideration and choice of consideration, if any) as the Tag-Along Purchaser shall have offered to the Tag-Along Sellers, and the accepting Potential Tag-Along Sellers shall otherwise be required to transfer the Class A Shares and/or Class A Common Units to the Tag-Along Purchaser upon the same terms, conditions, and provisions as the Tag-Along Sellers, including making the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements that the Tag-Along Sellers agree to make.

(c) Each OZ Limited Partner acknowledges that, if he participates in a “Tag-Along Sale” (as defined in the DIC Sahir Transaction Agreement), DIC Sahir has certain “Tag-Along Rights” as set forth in the DIC Sahir Transaction Agreement and such OZ Limited Partner agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.5, in the event he does participate in such a “Tag-Along Sale” then he will act in accordance with the provisions in the DIC Sahir Transaction Agreement relating to “Tag-Along Rights” as if it were a party thereto.

Section 8.6 Drag-Along Rights.

(a) Prior to the consummation of a proposed Drag-Along Sale, the Drag-Along Sellers may, at their option, require each other OZ Limited Partner to sell its Drag-Along Securities to the Drag-Along Purchaser by giving written notice (the “Notice”) to such other OZ Limited Partners not later than ten Business Days prior to the consummation of the Drag-Along Sale (the “Drag-Along Right”); provided, however, that if the Drag Along Right is exercised by the Drag-Along Sellers, all OZ Limited Partners shall sell their Drag-Along Securities to the Drag-Along Purchaser on the same terms and conditions, including the class of security, the consideration per Company Security and the date of sale, as applicable to the Drag-Along Sellers. The Notice shall contain written notice of the exercise of the Drag-Along Right pursuant to this Section 8.6, setting forth the consideration to be paid by the Drag-Along Purchaser and the other material terms and conditions of the Drag-Along Sale.

(b) Within five Business Days following the date of the Notice, the Drag-Along Sellers shall have delivered to them by the other OZ Limited Partners their Drag-Along Securities together with a limited power-of-attorney authorizing such Drag-Along Sellers to sell such other OZ Limited Partner’s Drag-Along Securities pursuant to the terms of the Drag-Along Sale and such other transfer instruments and other documents as are reasonably requested by the Drag-Along Sellers in order to effect such sale.

(c) Each OZ Limited Partner agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.6, it shall participate in a “Drag-Along Sale” (as defined in the DIC Sahir Transaction Agreement) in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the provisions in the DIC Sahir Transaction Agreement relating to “Drag-Along Rights” as if it were a party thereto.

Section 8.7 Reallocation of Common Units pursuant to Partner Agreements. In the event of any reallocation of Common Units to the Continuing Partners in respect of any Common Units of any Limited Partner admitted after the Final Closing Date in accordance with a Partner Agreement (including as a result of a Withdrawal but excluding any reallocation due to a breach of any of the covenants in Section 2.13(b), in which case the provisions of Section 2.13(g) shall apply), all of the Common Units (including all distributions thereon that would otherwise be received after the event causing such reallocation) to be reallocated thereunder shall be reallocated upon the relevant Reallocation Date to each Continuing Partner in such a manner that each such Continuing Partner receives Common Units in proportion to the total number of Original Common Units of such Continuing Partner and its Original Related Trusts, unless specified otherwise in any Partner Agreement. Any such reallocated Common Units received by a Continuing Partner shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be Common Units of such Continuing Partner and subject to the same vesting requirements as the transferring Limited Partner had been prior to the date of the event causing such reallocation. The provisions of this Section 8.7 may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived with PMC Approval.

ARTICLE IX

DISSOLUTION

Section 9.1 Duration and Dissolution. The Partnership shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the first to occur of the following:

(a) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership under Section 17-802 of the Act; and

(b) the determination of the General Partner to dissolve the Partnership.

Except as provided in this Agreement, the death, Disability, resignation, expulsion, bankruptcy or dissolution of any Partner or the occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued participation of any Partner in the Partnership shall not cause the Partnership to be dissolved or its affairs wound up; provided, however, that at any time after the bankruptcy of the General Partner, the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B Common Units may, pursuant to prior written consent to such effect, replace the General Partner with another Person, who shall, after executing a written instrument confirming such Person’s agreement to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement, (i) become a successor General Partner for all purposes hereunder, (ii) be vested with the powers and rights of the replaced General Partner, and (iii) be liable for all obligations and responsible for all duties of the replaced General Partner from the date of such replacement.

Section 9.2 Notice of Liquidation. The General Partner shall give each of the Partners prompt written notice of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership.

Section 9.3 Liquidator. Upon dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner may select one or more Persons to act as a liquidating trustee for the Partnership (such Person, or the General Partner, the “Liquidator”). The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall be entitled to receive such compensation for its services as may be approved by holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B Common Units (subject to the terms of any Unit Designation). The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall agree not to resign at any time without 15 days’ prior notice and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by notice of removal approved by holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B Common Units (subject to the terms of any Unit Designation). Upon dissolution, death, incapacity, removal or resignation of the Liquidator, a successor and substitute Liquidator (who shall have and succeed to all rights, powers and duties of the original Liquidator) shall within 30 days thereafter be approved by the General Partner (or, in the case of the removal of the Liquidator by holders of units, by holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B Common Units (subject to the terms of any Unit Designation)). The right to approve a successor or substitute Liquidator in the manner provided herein shall be deemed to refer also to any such successor or substitute Liquidator approved in the manner herein provided. Except as expressly provided in this Section 9.3, the Liquidator approved in the manner provided herein shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or consent of any of the parties hereto, all of the powers conferred upon the General Partner under the terms of this Agreement (but subject to all of the applicable limitations, contractual and otherwise, upon the exercise of such powers) necessary or appropriate to carry out the duties and functions of the Liquidator hereunder for and during the period of time required to complete the winding up and liquidation of the Partnership as provided for herein.

Section 9.4 Liquidation. The Liquidator shall proceed to dispose of the assets of the Partnership, discharge its liabilities, and otherwise wind up its affairs in such manner and over such period as determined by the Liquidator, subject to Section 17-804 of the Act and the following:

(a) Subject to Section 9.4(d), the assets may be disposed of by public or private sale or by distribution in kind to one or more Partners on such terms as the Liquidator and such Partner or Partners may agree. If any property is distributed in kind, except with respect to the Investment Distributions, the Partner receiving the property shall be deemed for purposes of Section 9.4(d) to have received cash equal to its fair market value; and contemporaneously therewith, appropriate cash distributions must be made to the other Partners. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Partners understand and acknowledge that a Partner may be compelled to accept a distribution of any asset in kind from the Partnership despite the fact that the percentage of the asset distributed to such Partner exceeds the percentage of that asset which is equal to the percentage in which such Partner shares in distributions from the Partnership. The Liquidator may defer liquidation or distribution of the Partnership’s assets for a reasonable time if it determines that an immediate sale or distribution of all or some of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners. The Liquidator may distribute the Partnership’s assets, in whole or in part, in kind if it determines that a sale would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners.

(b) Liabilities of the Partnership include amounts owed to the Liquidator as compensation for serving in such capacity (subject to the terms of Section 9.3) and amounts to Partners otherwise than in respect of their distribution rights under Article VII. With respect to any liability that is contingent, conditional or unmatured or is otherwise not yet due and payable, the Liquidator shall either settle such claim for such amount as it thinks appropriate or establish a reserve of cash or other assets to provide for its payment. When paid, any unused portion of the reserve shall be applied to other liabilities or distributed as additional liquidation proceeds.

(c) Subject to the terms of any Unit Designation and except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1 with respect to the Investment Distributions, all property and all cash in excess of that required to discharge liabilities as provided in Section 9.4(b) shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with and to the extent of the positive balances in their respective Capital Accounts, as determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments (other than those made by reason of distributions pursuant to this Section 9.4(c)) for the taxable year of the Partnership during which the liquidation of the Partnership occurs (with such date of occurrence being determined by the General Partner) and such distribution shall be made by the end of such taxable year (or, if later, within 90 days after said date of such occurrence).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, upon the dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to this Article IX and after all other allocations provided for in Section 6.1 (including Section 6.1(c)) have been tentatively made as if this Section 9.4 were not in this Agreement, either (i) the positive Capital Account balance attributable to one or more Units (other than Common Units) having a liquidation preference is not equal to such liquidation preference, or (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing any Partner’s positive Hypothetical Capital Account Balance with respect to Common Units by the aggregate of all Partners’ Hypothetical Capital Account Balances with respect to Common Units at such time (such Partner’s “Hypothetical Capital Account Quotient”) would differ from such Partner’s Percentage Interest, then, subject to Section 5.3, Net Income (and items thereof) and Net Loss (and items thereof) for the Fiscal Year in which the Partnership dissolves and liquidates pursuant to this Article IX shall be allocated among the Partners (x) first, to the extent necessary to ensure that the Capital Account balance attributable to a Unit (other than Common Units) having a liquidation preference is equal to such liquidation preference, and (y) second, in a manner such that the positive Hypothetical Capital Account Quotient of each Partner with respect to Common Units, immediately after giving effect to such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal to such Partner’s Percentage Interest; provided, however, that this Section 9.4(d) shall not be applied to cause any Partner’s Capital Account balance to be negative. The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, may apply the principles of this Section 9.4(d) to any Fiscal Year preceding the Fiscal Year in which the Partnership dissolves and liquidates (including through application of Section 761(e) of the Code) if delaying application of the principles of this Section 9.4(d) would likely result in Capital Account balances (or Hypothetical Capital Account Quotients) that are materially different from the Capital Account balances (or Hypothetical Capital Account Quotients) set forth in clauses (x) and (y) of the preceding sentence.

Section 9.5 Capital Account Restoration. No Partner shall have any obligation to restore any negative balance in its Capital Account upon liquidation of the Partnership.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.1 Incorporation of Agreements. The Exchange Agreement and the Tax Receivable Agreement shall each be treated as part of this Agreement as described in Section 761(c) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(h) and 1.761-1(c).

Section 10.2 Amendment to the Agreement.

(a) Except as may be otherwise required by law, this Agreement may be amended by the General Partner without the consent or approval of any Partners, subject to the rights of the Ziff Partner in Section 10.2(b), provided, however, that, except as expressly provided herein (including, without limitation, Sections 3.2, 5.2(d) and 10.2(c)), (i) if an amendment adversely affects the rights (not including any rights relating to the Class C Non-Equity Interests) of an Individual Limited Partner or any Related Trust thereof (other than the Ziff Partner or any transferee thereof) other than on a pro rata basis with other holders of Units of the same class, such Individual Limited Partner must provide his prior written consent to the amendment, (ii) no amendment may adversely affect the rights (not including any rights relating to the Class C Non-Equity Interests) of the holders of a class of Units (or any group of such holders) (other than the Ziff Partner or any transferee thereof) without the prior written consent of Individual Limited Partners that (together with their Related Trusts) hold a majority of the outstanding Units of such class (or of such group) then owned by all OZ Limited Partners, (iii) the provisions of this Section 10.2(a) may not be amended without the prior written consent of Individual Limited Partners that (together with their Related Trusts) hold a majority of the Class A Common Units then owned by all OZ Limited Partners, and (iv) the provisions of Sections 8.3(a), 8.3(b) and 8.4 may only be amended with PMC Approval.
