Any Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any two Officers. In the event that a Unit is to be evidenced by a Certificate, no such Certificate shall be valid for any purpose until it has been countersigned by and registered on the books of the Transfer Agent; provided, however, that if the Board of Directors elects to issue any Units, including Class A Units, in global form, the Certificates evidencing such Units shall be valid upon receipt of a certificate from the Transfer Agent certifying that such Units have been duly registered in accordance with the directions of the Company. If any Officer or Transfer Agent who shall have signed or whose facsimile signature shall have been placed upon any such Certificate shall have ceased to be such Officer or Transfer Agent before such Certificate is issued by the Company, such Certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Company with the same effect as if such Person were such Officer or Transfer Agent at the date of issue. Certificates for any class or series of Units shall be uniquely numbered and shall be entered on the books and records of the Company as they are issued and shall exhibit the Record Holder’s name and number and type of Units.

(b) If any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Transfer Agent, the appropriate Officers on behalf of the Company shall execute, and the Transfer Agent shall

countersign and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Certificate evidencing the same number and class or series of Units as the Certificate so surrendered. The appropriate Officers on behalf of the Company shall execute, and the Transfer Agent shall countersign and deliver, a new Certificate in place of any Certificate previously issued if the Record Holder of the Units evidenced by the Certificate: (i) makes proof by affidavit, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, that a previously issued Certificate has been lost, destroyed or stolen; (ii) requests the issuance of a new Certificate before the Company has notice that the Certificate has been acquired by a purchaser for value in good faith and without notice of an adverse claim; (iii) if requested by the Company, delivers to the Company a bond, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, with surety or sureties and with fixed or open penalty as the Company may direct, to indemnify the Company and the Transfer Agent against any claim that may be made on account of the alleged loss, destruction or theft of the Certificate; and (iv) satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Company. If a transfer of Units evidenced by a lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate is registered before the Transfer Agent receives notification in writing from the Record Holder regarding such loss, destruction or theft, the Record Holder shall be precluded from making any claim against the Company or the Transfer Agent for such transfer or for a new Certificate. As a condition to the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.3(b), the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent) reasonably connected therewith.

(c) The Company may, in its sole discretion, issue one or more uncertificated classes or series of Units and may, with respect to any class or series of Units (unless otherwise provided in the applicable Unit Designation), issue Certificates with respect to some Units of such class or series and issue other Units of such class or series on an uncertificated basis.

Section 3.4 Record Holders. The Company shall be entitled to recognize the Record Holder as the owner with respect to any Unit and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Unit on the part of any other Person, regardless of whether the Company shall have actual or other notice thereof, including in connection with any distribution pursuant to Section 5.3 or 9.3 or the exercise of any voting or other rights pursuant to Section 12.9, except as otherwise provided by Law or any applicable rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any Securities Exchange on which such Units are listed for trading. Without limiting the foregoing, when a Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing) is acting as nominee, agent or in some other representative capacity for another Person in acquiring or holding Units, as between the Company, on the one hand, and such other Person, on the other, such representative Person shall be deemed the Record Holder of such Unit.

(a) The term “transfer,” when used in this Agreement with respect to a Unit, shall be deemed to refer to a transaction by which the Record Holder of a Unit assigns such Unit to another Person, and includes a sale, assignment, gift, exchange or any other disposition by Law or otherwise, including any transfer upon foreclosure of any pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or mortgage.

(b) No Unit shall be transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with this Article III. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, any transfer or purported transfer of a Unit not made in accordance with this Article III, including any transfer in violation of Section 3.6, shall be null and void.

(c) The Company shall keep or cause to be kept on behalf of the Company a register which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Board of Directors may prescribe and subject to Section 3.5(d), will provide for the registration and transfer of Units. The Transfer Agent is hereby appointed registrar and transfer agent for the purpose of registration of Class A Units and transfers of such Class A Units as herein provided. In the absence of manifest error, the register kept by or on behalf of the Company shall be conclusive as to the identity of the holders of Units. With respect to certificated Units issued by the Company, if any, upon surrender of a Certificate for registration of transfer of any Units evidenced by such Certificate, the Company shall deliver, and in the case of certificated Class A Units, the Transfer Agent shall countersign and deliver, in the name of the Record Holder or the designated transferee or transferees, to the extent and as required pursuant to the Record Holder’s instructions, one or more new Certificates evidencing the same aggregate number and type of Units as were evidenced by the Certificate so surrendered. In the case of any transfer of Units permitted by this Agreement, a transferor shall provide the address and other contact information for each such transferee as contemplated by Section 14.1.

(d) The Company shall not recognize any purported transfer of Units until the transfer is registered on the books of the Transfer Agent; provided, that in the event that any Units are represented by Certificates, notwithstanding Section 5.3 or the registration of the transfer of such certificated Units pursuant to this Section 3.5(d), no distributions shall be paid in respect of any such transferred certificated Units until the Certificates evidencing such Units are surrendered to the Transfer Agent. No charge shall be imposed by the Company for such transfer; provided, that as a condition to the issuance of any new Certificate or the registration of any transfer, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed with respect thereto.

(e) By acceptance of the transfer of any Unit in accordance with this Article III or the issuance of any Unit in accordance with this Agreement (including in a merger, consolidation or other business combination pursuant to Article XI), each transferee of a Unit, including any nominee holder or agent or representative acquiring such Unit for the account of another Person, (i) shall become the Record Holder of the Unit so transferred or issued, (ii) shall be admitted to the Company as a Substitute Member or Additional Member with respect to the Unit so transferred or issued to such transferee or other recipient when any such transfer or admission is reflected in the books and records of the Company, with or without execution of this Agreement, (iii) shall become bound by the terms of, and shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by, this Agreement, with or without execution of this Agreement, (iv) represents that the transferee or other recipient has the capacity, power and authority to enter into this Agreement, (v) grants the powers of attorney as specified herein, and (vi) makes the consents, acknowledgements and waivers contained in this Agreement. Neither the transfer of any Unit nor the admission of any new Member shall constitute an amendment to this Agreement.

(f) No transfer of a Unit shall entitle the transferee to share in the profits and losses, to receive distributions, to receive allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit or any similar item or to any other rights to which the transferor was entitled until the transferee becomes a Member pursuant to Section 3.5(e).

(g) Subject to (i) the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.5, (ii) Section 3.4, (iii) Sections 3.6 and 3.9, (iv) with respect to any series or class of Units, the provisions of any Unit Designation or amendment to this Agreement, (v) any contractual provisions binding on any Member and (vi) provisions of applicable Law, including the Securities Act, Units shall be freely transferable.

(a) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article III, no transfer of any Units shall be made if such purported transfer would:

(i) violate applicable law, including the then-applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws or rules and regulations of the SEC, any state securities commission or any other Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over such transfer;

(ii) terminate the existence or qualification of the Company under the laws of any jurisdiction;

(iii) cause the Company to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise to be taxed as an entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes (to the extent not already so treated or taxed); or

(iv) require the Company to be subject to the registration requirements of the Investment Company Act.

(b) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article III, no Member shall, without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent may be withheld in the Company’s sole discretion), directly or indirectly transfer, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale, or otherwise dispose of any Units, or any options or warrants to purchase any Units, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive Units, during the period commencing on the Offering Date and continuing for 120 days thereafter; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 3.6(b) shall not apply to (i) any Member that has executed and delivered a lock-up agreement to the managing underwriter or underwriters designated by the Company in a form satisfactory to the Company and such managing underwriter or underwriters or (ii) Units acquired by a Member in the IPO or on the open market on or after the Offering Date.

(c) The Board of Directors may impose additional restrictions on the transfer of Units if it receives advice of counsel acceptable to the Board of Directors (who may be regular counsel to the Company or its Affiliates) that such restrictions are necessary or advisable to avoid a significant risk of (i) the Company becoming taxable as a corporation or otherwise becoming taxable as an entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) the Company being subject to the registration requirements of the Investment Company Act. The Board of Directors may impose such restrictions by amending this Agreement without the approval of the Members.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by Law, any transfer in violation of this Section 3.6 shall be null and void. In the event that any Person would otherwise become the Record Holder of a Unit through a purported transfer in violation of this Section 3.6, the Company may, in its sole discretion, require that the purported transferor take any steps deemed appropriate by the Company or the Transfer Agent to unwind, cancel or reverse such purported transaction. With respect to the purported transferee, such Person shall have no rights or economic interest in such Units or otherwise, including any consent rights, any rights to receive notice of, or attend, a meeting of the Members and any rights to receive distributions with respect to the Unit. In addition, the Company may, in its sole discretion, redeem the Unit in the manner provided in Section 3.13 or cause the transfer of such Unit to a third party in a transfer permitted by this Agreement and, if such Unit is sold or redeemed, the Company shall distribute the proceeds of such sale (net of any costs or expenses incurred by the Company) to the purported transferor.

(e) Without prejudice to any remedies available to the Company as a result of such transactions nothing contained in this Agreement, other than the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 3.6(b), shall preclude the settlement of any transactions involving Units entered into through the facilities of any Securities Exchange on which such Units are listed for trading.

Section 3.9 Citizenship Requirements. If any Group Member is or becomes subject to any Law that, in the determination of the Company in its sole discretion creates a substantial risk of cancellation or forfeiture of any property in which the Group Member has an interest based on the nationality, citizenship or other related status of a Member, the Company may request that any Member furnish to the Company an executed Citizenship Certification or such other information concerning its nationality, citizenship or other related status (or if the Member is a nominee holding for the account of another Person, the nationality, citizenship or other related status of such other Person) as the Company may in its sole discretion request. If a Member fails to furnish to the Company such Citizenship Certification or other requested information within 30 days after receipt of such a request or if, upon receipt of such Citizenship Certification or other requested information, the Company determines, with the advice of counsel, that a Member is not an Eligible Citizen, the Company may, in its sole discretion (i) require that such Member immediately transfer its Class A Units to an Eligible Citizen or (ii) redeem such Class A Units in the manner set forth in Section 3.13. Any compulsory transfer of Class A Units pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence shall occur through a Securities Exchange on which Class A Units are traded and shall comply with the other provisions of this Agreement regarding transfers of Class A Units. Pending such transfer or redemption, with

respect to such Record Holder of such Class A Units, the Company may, in its sole discretion, suspend the exercise of any voting or consent rights, any rights to receive notice of or attend meetings of the Members and any rights to receive distributions in respect of such Class A Units.

(a) Subject to Section 3.12(d), the Company may make a pro rata distribution of Units to all Record Holders, or may effect a subdivision or combination of Units, so long as, after any such event, each Member shall have the same Percentage Interest in the Company as before such event, and any amounts calculated on a per Unit basis or stated as a number of Units are proportionately adjusted.

(b) Whenever such a distribution, subdivision or combination of Units is declared, the Board of Directors shall select a Record Date as of which the distribution, subdivision or combination shall be effective and shall send notice thereof at least 20 days prior to such Record Date to each Record Holder. The Board of Directors also may cause a firm of independent public accountants selected by it to calculate the number of Units to be held by each Record Holder after giving effect to such distribution, subdivision or combination. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to rely on any certificate provided by such firm as conclusive evidence of the accuracy of such calculation.

(c) Promptly following any such distribution, subdivision or combination, the Company may issue Certificates to the Record Holders of Units as of the applicable Record Date representing the new number of Units held by such Record Holders, or the Board of Directors may adopt such other procedures that it determines to be necessary or appropriate to reflect such changes. If any such combination results in a smaller total number of Units Outstanding, the Company shall require, as a condition to the delivery to a Record Holder of any such new Certificate, the surrender of the Certificate(s), if any, held by such Record Holder immediately prior to such Record Date.

(d) The Company may issue fractional Units upon any distribution, subdivision or combination of Units. If a distribution, subdivision or combination of Units would otherwise result in the issuance of fractional Units but for this Section 3.12(d), the Board of Directors may direct that each fractional Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole Unit (and a 0.5 Unit shall be rounded to the next higher Unit).

Section 3.13 Redemption of Units. Any redemption of Units by the Company permitted under Article III shall be conducted in accordance with this Section 3.13.

(a) The Company shall, not later than 30 days before the date fixed for redemption, give notice of redemption to the Member at its last address designated on the records of the Company or the Transfer Agent, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or overnight courier of national reputation. The notice shall be deemed to have been given when so mailed. The notice shall specify the Redeemable Units, the date fixed for redemption, the place

of payment, that payment of the redemption price will be made upon the redemption of the Redeemable Units (or, if later in the case of Redeemable Units evidenced by Certificates, upon surrender of the Certificates evidencing such Redeemable Units) and that on and after the date fixed for redemption no further allocations or distributions to which the Member would otherwise be entitled in respect of the Redeemable Units will accrue or be made.

(b) The aggregate redemption price for Redeemable Units shall be an amount equal to the Current Market Price (the date of determination of which shall be the date fixed for redemption) of Units of the class to be so redeemed multiplied by the number of Units of each such class included among the Redeemable Units, net of any costs or expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such redemption. Subject to the Delaware Act, the redemption price shall be paid, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, (i) in cash, (ii) by delivery of a promissory note of the Company in the principal amount of the redemption price, bearing interest at the rate of 8% annually and payable in three equal annual installments of principal together with accrued interest, the first such installment commencing one year after the redemption date (or, if later in the case of Redeemable Units evidenced by Certificates, upon surrender of the Certificates evidencing such Redeemable Units) or (iii) a combination of cash and a promissory note having the terms described in clause (ii).

(c) The Member or its duly authorized representative shall be entitled to receive the payment for Redeemable Units at the place of payment specified in the notice of redemption (i) in the case of uncertificated Redeemable Units, on the redemption date or (ii) in the case of Redeemable Units evidenced by Certificates, upon surrender, on the redemption date or thereafter, by or on behalf of the Member, of the Certificates evidencing the Redeemable Units, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by an assignment duly executed in blank.

(d) After the redemption date, Redeemable Units shall no longer constitute Outstanding Units.

Section 4.1 Designation of Class A Units and Class B Units. As of the Offering Date, two classes of Units have been designated: Class A Units and Class B Units. Each Class A Unit shall entitle the Record Holder thereof to one vote on any and all matters submitted for the consent or approval of Members generally. Each Class B Unit shall initially entitle the Record Holder thereof to 10 votes on any and all matters submitted for the consent or approval of Members generally; provided, however, that at such time as the Permitted Oaktree Holders collectively hold less than 10% of the issued and outstanding Oaktree Operating Group Units, and at all times thereafter, each Class B Unit shall entitle the Record Holder thereof to one vote on any and all matters submitted for the consent or approval of Members generally. Except as specifically provided for in this Agreement, Class A Units and Class B Units shall vote as a single class on any and all matters submitted for the consent or approval of Members.

Section 4.4 Issuance and Cancellation of Class B Units. The number of Outstanding Class B Units shall at all times be equal to the aggregate number of issued and outstanding Oaktree Operating Group Units then held by the Permitted Oaktree Holders. Upon the acquisition by any Permitted Oaktree Holder of a newly issued Oaktree Operating Group Unit, the Company shall issue a Class B Unit to the Class B Holder without requiring any Capital Contribution to the Company in respect of such Class B Unit, and upon the disposition (by transfer, sale, exchange or otherwise) of an Oaktree Operating Group Unit by any Permitted Oaktree Holder to any Person other than a Permitted Oaktree Holder, a Class B Unit then held by the Class B Holder shall automatically and without any action by such Member, the Board of Directors or the Company be cancelled, and the Class B Holder shall have no further right to or interest in such Class B Unit. If, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, at any time the number of Class B Units held by the Class B Holder exceeds the aggregate number of Oaktree Operating Group Units then held by all Permitted Oaktree Holders, then such excess Class B Units shall automatically and without any action by the Board of Directors or the Company be cancelled, and the Class B Holder shall have no further right to or interest in such Class B Units.

(a) The Company may issue any number of Units, and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to Units, for any Company purpose at any time and from time to time to such Persons for such consideration (which may be cash, property, services or any other lawful consideration) or for no consideration and on such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors shall determine, all without the approval of any Member or any other Person.

(b) Additional Units authorized to be issued by the Company pursuant to Section 4.6(a) may be issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any such classes, with such designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties (which may be junior to, equivalent to or senior or superior to any existing classes or series of Units), as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors and reflected in a written action or actions approved by the Board of Directors in compliance with Section 6.1 (each, a “Unit Designation”), including (i) the right to share in Company profits and losses or items thereof; (ii) the right to share in Company distributions, the dates distributions will be payable and whether distributions with respect to such class or series will be cumulative or non-cumulative; (iii) rights upon dissolution and liquidation of the Company (including any payments); (iv) whether, and the terms and conditions upon which, the Company may redeem such Units (including sinking fund provisions); (v) whether such Units are issued with the privilege of conversion or exchange into Units of any other class or series or any other security issued by the Company or another entity and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange; (vi) the terms and conditions upon which such Units will be issued, evidenced by certificates and assigned or transferred; (vii) the method for determining the Percentage Interest, if any, applicable to such Units; and (viii) the right, if any, of the Record Holder of any such Unit to vote on Company matters, including matters relating to the relative rights, preferences and privileges of such Units. A Unit Designation (or

any action of the Board of Directors amending any Unit Designation) shall be effective when a duly executed original of the same is delivered to the Secretary for inclusion in the permanent records of the Company, and shall be annexed to, and constitute a part of, this Agreement.

(c) The Board of Directors is hereby authorized to take all actions that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with (i) each issuance of Units and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to Units pursuant to this Section 4.6, including the admission of Additional Members in connection therewith and any related amendment of this Agreement, and (ii) all additional issuances of Units and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to Units. The Board of Directors shall determine in its sole discretion the relative rights, powers and duties of the holders of Units or options, rights, warrants or appreciation rights relating to Units being so issued. The Board of Directors is authorized to do all things that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with any future issuance of Units or options, rights, warrants or appreciation rights relating to Units, including compliance with any statute, rule, regulation or guideline of any Governmental Entity or any Securities Exchange on which Units or options, rights, warrants or appreciation rights relating to Units are listed for trading.

Section 4.7 Preemptive Rights. Unless determined otherwise by the Board of Directors, no Person shall have any preemptive, preferential or other similar right with respect to the issuance of any Units, whether unissued, held in the treasury or hereafter created.

Section 4.8 Fully Paid and Non-Assessable Nature of Units. All Units issued pursuant to, and in accordance with the requirements of, this Article IV shall represent fully paid and non-assessable limited liability company interests in the Company, except as such non-assessability may be affected by Sections 18-502, 18-607 or 18-804 of the Delaware Act or this Agreement.

Section 4.9 Purchases of Units. The Company or any other Group Member may purchase or otherwise acquire Units or options, rights, warrants or appreciation rights relating to Units. The Company, any of its Affiliates, any Portfolio Company or any Investment Fund may also purchase or otherwise acquire and sell or otherwise dispose of Units or options, rights, warrants or appreciation rights relating to Units for their own account, subject to the provisions of Articles III and IV. Any Units purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company may be canceled in the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Section 5.1 Capital Accounts. There shall be established for each Member on the books of the Company as of the date such Member becomes a Member a capital account (each being a “Capital Account”). Each Capital Contribution by any Member, if any, shall be credited to the Capital Account of such Member on the date such Capital Contribution is made to the Company. In addition, each Member’s Capital Account shall be (a) increased by (i) such Member’s allocable share of any Net Income of the Company, and (ii) the amount of any Company liabilities that are assumed by the Member or secured by any Company property

distributed to the Member, (b) decreased by (i) the amount of distributions (and deemed distributions) to such Member of cash or the fair market value of other property so distributed, (ii) such Member’s allocable share of Net Loss of the Company and expenditures of the Company described or treated under Section 704(b) of the Code as described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, and (iii) the amount of any liabilities of the Member assumed by the Company or which are secured by any property contributed by the Member to the Company and (c) otherwise maintained in accordance with the provisions of the Code and the United States Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Any other item which is required to be reflected in a Member’s Capital Account under Section 704(b) of the Code and the United States Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder or otherwise under this Agreement shall be so reflected. The Company shall make such adjustments to Capital Accounts as it determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate to ensure allocations are made in accordance with a Member’s interest in the Company. Interest shall not be payable on Capital Account balances. The Company shall maintain the Capital Accounts of the Members in accordance with the principles and requirements set forth in Section 704(b) of the Code and the United States Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Capital Account of each Class B Holder shall at all times be zero, except to the extent such Class B Holder also holds Units other than Class B Units.

(a) Net Income (Loss) of the Company for each fiscal period shall be allocated among the Capital Accounts of the Members in a manner that as closely as possible gives economic effect to the manner in which distributions are or would be made to the Members pursuant to the provisions of Sections 5.3 and 9.3.

(b) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company shall be allocated among the Members for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes consistent with the manner that the corresponding constituent items of Net Income (Loss) shall be allocated among the Members pursuant to this Agreement, except as may otherwise be provided herein or by the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company in its sole discretion shall make such allocations for tax purposes as may be needed to ensure that allocations are in accordance with the interests of the Members in the Company, within the meaning of the Code and United States Treasury Regulations. The Company shall determine all matters concerning allocations for tax purposes not expressly provided for herein in its sole discretion. For the proper administration of the Company and for the preservation of uniformity of Units (or any portion or class or classes thereof), the Company may (i) amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate (x) to reflect the proposal or promulgation of United States Treasury Regulations under Sections 704(b) or 704(c) of the Code or (y) otherwise to preserve or achieve uniformity of Units (or any portion or class or classes thereof), and (ii) adopt and employ or modify such conventions and methods as the Company determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate for (A) the determination for tax purposes of items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit and the allocation of such items among Members and between transferors and transferees under this Agreement and pursuant to the Code and the United States Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, (B) the determination of the identities and tax classification of Members, (C) the valuation of Company assets and the determination of tax basis, (D) the allocation of asset values and tax basis, (E) the adoption and maintenance of accounting methods and (F) taking into

account differences between the Carrying Values of Company assets and such asset adjusted tax basis pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code and the United States Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c) Allocations that would otherwise be made to a Member under the provisions of this Article V shall instead be made to the beneficial owner of Units held by a nominee in any case in which the nominee has furnished the identity of such owner to the Company in accordance with Section 6031(c) of the Code or any other method determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

(a) The Company may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, declare, make and pay distributions of cash or other assets to the Members. Subject to the terms of any Unit Designation and to Section 3.5(d), distributions shall be paid to Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests as of the Record Date selected by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make or pay any distributions of cash or other assets with respect to the Class B Units except for distributions consisting only of additional Class B Units made proportionally with respect to each outstanding Class B Unit.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.3(a), in the event of the dissolution and liquidation of the Company, all distributions shall be made in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 9.3.

(c) All amounts withheld with respect to any payment or other distribution by the Company to the Members and paid over to any U.S. federal, state or local government or any non-U.S. taxing authority shall be treated as amounts paid to the Members with respect to which such amounts were withheld pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) or Section 9.3 for all purposes under this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each distribution in respect of any Unit shall be made by the Company, directly or through the Transfer Agent or through any other Person, only to the Record Holder of such Unit as of the Record Date set for such distribution. Any distribution in accordance with the foregoing shall constitute full payment and satisfaction of the Company’s liability in respect of such distribution, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such distribution by reason of an assignment or otherwise.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to make a distribution to a Member if such distribution would violate the Delaware Act or other applicable Law.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by or under the direction of a board of directors (the “Board of Directors”). As provided in Section 6.19, the Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to appoint Officers of the Company. The Directors and Officers shall constitute “managers” within the meaning of the Delaware Act. No Member, in its capacity as such, shall have any management power over the business and affairs of the Company or actual or apparent authority to enter into, execute or deliver contracts on behalf of, or to otherwise bind, the Company. In addition to the powers that now or hereafter can be granted to managers under the Delaware Act and to all other powers granted under any other provision of this Agreement, the Board of Directors shall have full power and authority to do, and to direct the Officers to do, all things and on such terms as it determines to be necessary or appropriate to conduct the business of the Company, to exercise all powers set forth in Section 2.5 and to effectuate the purposes set forth in Section 2.4, including the following:

(i) the making of any expenditures, the lending or borrowing of money, the assumption or guarantee of, or other contracting for, indebtedness and other liabilities, the issuance of evidences of indebtedness, including indebtedness that is convertible into Units, and the incurring of any other obligations;

(ii) the making of tax, regulatory and other filings, or rendering of periodic or other reports to governmental or other agencies having jurisdiction over the business or assets of the Company;

(iii) the acquisition, disposition, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or exchange of any or all of the assets of the Company or the merger, conversion, consolidation or other combination of the Company with or into another Person (subject, however, to any prior approval of Members that may be required by this Agreement);

(iv) the use of the assets of the Company (including cash on hand) for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement, including the financing of the conduct of the operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries; the lending of funds to other Persons (including other Group Members); the repayment of obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries; and the making of capital contributions to any Member of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(v) the negotiation, execution and performance of any contracts, conveyances or other instruments (including instruments that limit the liability of the Company under contractual arrangements to all or particular assets of the Company);

(vi) the declaration and payment of distributions of cash or other assets to Members;

(vii) the selection and dismissal of Officers, employees, agents, outside attorneys, accountants, advisors, consultants and contractors and the determination of their compensation and other terms of employment or hiring, and the creation and operation of employee benefit plans, employee programs and employee practices;

(viii) the maintenance of insurance for the benefit of the Company Group and the Indemnified Persons;

(ix) the formation of, or acquisition or disposition of an interest in, and the contribution of property and the making of loans to, any limited or general partnership, joint venture, corporation, limited liability company or other entity or arrangement;

(x) the control of any matters affecting the rights and obligations of the Company, including the bringing and defending of actions at law or in equity and otherwise engaging in the conduct of litigation, arbitration or remediation, and the incurring of legal expense and the settlement of claims and litigation;

(xi) the indemnification of any Person against liabilities and contingencies to the extent permitted by Law;

(xii) the entering into of listing agreements with any Securities Exchange and the delisting of some or all of the Units from, or requesting that trading be suspended in, any such Securities Exchange;

(xiii) the issuance, sale or other disposition, and the purchase or other acquisition, of Units or options, rights, warrants or appreciation rights relating to Units;

(xiv) the undertaking of any action in connection with the Company’s interest or participation in any Group Member;

(xv) the registration under the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws of any offer, issuance, sale or resale of Units or other securities issued or to be issued by the Company (including any resale of Units by Members or other security holders);

(xvii) the execution and delivery of agreements with Affiliates of the Company or Portfolio Companies to render services to a Group Member.

(b) In exercising its authority under this Agreement, the Board of Directors may, but shall be under no obligation to, take into account the tax consequences to any Member of any action taken (or not taken) by it. The Directors and the Company shall not have any liability to a Member for monetary damages or otherwise for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by such Member in connection with such decisions except to the extent set forth in Section 6.16(a)(ii).

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Delaware Act or any other applicable Law, the Members and each other Person who may acquire an interest in Units hereby (i) approve, ratify and confirm the execution, delivery and performance by the parties thereto of the Underwriting Agreement, the Exchange Agreement, the Tax Receivable Agreement and the other agreements described in the Registration Statement that are related to the transactions contemplated by the Registration Statement; (ii) agree that the Company is authorized to execute, deliver and perform the agreements referred to in clause (i) of this sentence and the other agreements, acts, transactions and matters described in or contemplated by the Registration Statement without any further act, approval or vote of the Members, the other Persons who may acquire an interest in Units or any other Person; and (iii) agree that the execution, delivery or performance by the Company, any Group Member or any Affiliate of any of them, of this Agreement or any agreement contemplated by this Agreement (including the exercise by the Company of the rights accorded pursuant to Article XIII), shall not constitute a breach by the Board of Directors of any duty that the Board of Directors may owe the Company or the Members or any other Persons under this Agreement (or any other agreements) or of any duty (fiduciary or otherwise) existing at law, in equity or otherwise.

Section 6.2 Number, Qualification and Term of Office of Directors. For so long as Permitted Oaktree Holders collectively hold 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Oaktree Operating Group Units, the number of Directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be determined from time to time by the Manager. In the event that Permitted Oaktree Holders collectively hold less than 10% of the issued and outstanding Oaktree Operating Group Units, the number of Directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by a majority of the Directors then in office. Each Director shall hold office as provided in Sections 6.3 to 6.5.

Section 6.3 Election of Directors. Directors need not be Members. For so long as Permitted Oaktree Holders collectively hold 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Oaktree Operating Group Units, Directors shall be designated by the Manager.

For so long as Permitted Oaktree Holders collectively hold 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Oaktree Operating Group Units, each Director (including any additional Director designated to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in the total number of Directors or from the death, disability, resignation or removal from office of a Director or other cause) shall serve until his or her successor is duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until such Director’s death or disability, or until such Director resigns in accordance with Section 6.5 or is removed in accordance with Section 6.4. In the event that Permitted Oaktree Holders collectively hold less than 10% of the issued and outstanding Oaktree Operating Group Units, each Director (including any additional Director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an

increase in the total number of Directors or from the death, disability, resignation or removal from office of a Director or other cause) shall serve until the succeeding annual meeting after such Director’s election and until his or her successor is duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until such Director’s death or disability, or until such Director resigns in accordance with Section 6.5 or is removed in accordance with Section 6.4. In no case will a decrease in the number of Directors shorten the term of any incumbent Director.

Section 6.4 Removal. For so long as Permitted Oaktree Holders collectively hold 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Oaktree Operating Group Units, any Director or the whole Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, at any time, by the Manager. In the event that Permitted Oaktree Holders collectively hold less than 10% of the issued and outstanding Oaktree Operating Group Units, any Director or the whole Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, at any time, by the affirmative vote of holders of Outstanding Voting Units, voting as a single class, holding a majority of the voting power of all Outstanding Voting Units, present in person or represented by proxy given at an annual or special meeting of Members called for that purpose and entitled to vote on the election of Directors. The vacancy in the Board of Directors caused by any such removal shall be filled as provided in Section 6.6.

Section 6.5 Resignations. Any Director may resign at any time by giving notice of such Director’s resignation in writing or by electronic transmission to the Company. Any such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if the time when it shall become effective shall not be specified therein, then it shall take effect immediately upon its receipt by the Company. Unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. The vacancy in the Board of Directors caused by any such resignation shall be filled as provided in Section 6.6.

Section 6.6 Vacancies. For so long as Permitted Oaktree Holders collectively hold 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Oaktree Operating Group Units, any vacancy on the Board of Directors will be filled by a designee of the Manager. In the event that Permitted Oaktree Holders collectively hold less than 10% of the issued and outstanding Oaktree Operating Group Units, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, (i) any vacancy on the Board of Directors that results from a newly created directorship resulting from an increase in the authorized number of Directors may be filled by a majority of the Directors then in office, provided that a quorum is present, and any other vacancies may be filled by a majority of Directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining Director and (ii) if there are no Directors in office, then any vacancies shall be filled by an election of Directors by the holders of Outstanding Voting Units, voting as a single class, holding a plurality of the voting power of all Outstanding Voting Units present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of Directors at an annual or special meeting of Members.

Section 6.7 Chairman of Meetings. The Board of Directors may elect one of its members as Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Chairman”). At each meeting of the Board of Directors, the Chairman or, in the Chairman’s absence, a Director chosen by a majority of the Directors present, shall act as chairman of the meeting.

Section 6.8 Place of Meetings. The Board of Directors may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or without the State of Delaware.

Section 6.9 Meetings; Notice. Meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman, the President or upon the written request of two Directors, on 24 hours’ notice to each Director, either personally or by telephone or by mail, telegraph, telex, cable, wireless or other form of recorded or electronic communication, or on such shorter notice as the person or persons calling such meeting may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances. Notice of any such meeting need not be given to any Director, however, if waived by such Director in writing or by telegraph, telex, cable, wireless or other form of recorded or electronic communication, or if such Director shall be present at such meeting.

Section 6.10 Action Without Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting by the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, as the case may be, may be taken without a meeting if a consent thereto is signed or transmitted electronically, as the case may be, by a majority of the members of the Board or of such committee, as the case may be, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or such committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

Section 6.11 Conference Telephone Meetings. Members of the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or such committee by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

Section 6.12 Quorum. At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the then total number of Directors in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. At all meetings of any committee of the Board of Directors, the presence of a majority of the total number of members of such committee (assuming no vacancies) shall constitute a quorum. The act of a majority of the Directors or committee members present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors or such committee, as the case may be. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee, a majority of the Directors or members, as the case may be, present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice other than announcement at the meeting.

Section 6.13 Committees. The Board of Directors may by resolution from time to time designate one or more committees consisting of one or more Directors which, to the extent provided in such resolution or resolutions, shall have and may exercise, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the powers and authority of the Board of Directors granted hereunder. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall have power to change the members of any such committee at any time to fill vacancies, and to discharge any such committee, either with or without cause, at any time.

Section 6.14 Alternate Members of Committees. The Board of Directors may designate one or more Directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee, or if none be so appointed the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member.

Section 6.15 Remuneration. Unless otherwise expressly provided by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors, none of the Directors shall, as such, receive any stated remuneration for their service as a Director, but the Board of Directors may at any time and from time to time by resolution provide that a specified sum shall be paid to any Director, payable in cash or securities, either as such Director’s annual remuneration as such Director or member of any special or standing committee of the Board of Directors or as remuneration for such Director’s attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors or any such committee. The Board of Directors may also provide that the Company shall reimburse each Director for any expenses paid by such Director on account of such Director’s attendance at any meeting. Nothing in this Section 6.15 shall be construed to preclude any Director from serving the Company or any of its Affiliates in any other capacity and receiving remuneration therefor.

(a) Subject to other applicable provisions of this Article VI, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Oaktree Capital Group Holdings shall not have any liability to the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any Director, any Member or any holder of an equity interest in any Subsidiary of the Company, for any act or omission, including any mistake of fact or error in judgment, taken, suffered or made;

(ii) a Director or Officer shall have liability to the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any Director, any Member or any holder of an equity interest in any Subsidiary of the Company, for any act or omission, including any mistake of fact or error in judgment, taken, suffered, or made only if such act or omission constitutes a breach of the duties of such Director or Officer imposed pursuant to Section 6.20(a) and such breach is the result of (A) willful malfeasance, gross negligence, the commission of a felony or a material violation of applicable Law (including any federal or state securities Law), in each case, that has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material adverse effect on the business or properties of the Company or (B) fraud; and

(iii) all other Indemnified Persons shall have liability to the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any Director, any Member or any holder of an equity interest in any Subsidiary of the Company, for any act or omission arising from the performance of such Indemnified Person’s duties and obligations in connection with the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, this Agreement or any investment made or held by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, including with respect to any

act or omission made while serving at the request of the Company as an officer, director, member, partner, tax matters partner, fiduciary or trustee of another Person or any employee benefit plan, including any mistake of fact or error in judgment, taken, suffered or made only if such act or omission constitutes a breach of the duties of such Indemnified Person and such breach is the result of (A) willful malfeasance, gross negligence, the commission of a felony or a material violation of applicable Law (including any federal or state securities Law), in each case, that has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material adverse effect on the business or properties of the Company or (B) fraud.

The provisions of this Section 6.16(a) are intended and shall be interpreted as only limiting the liability of an Indemnified Person and not as in any way expanding such Person’s liability.

(b) The Indemnified Persons shall be indemnified by the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, against all expenses and liabilities (including judgments, fines, penalties, interest, amounts paid in settlement with the approval of the Company and counsel fees and disbursements) arising from the performance of any of their respective duties or obligations in connection with their respective service to the Company, to any Subsidiary of the Company or pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with any investment made or held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other action, suit or proceeding, whether by or in the right of the Company, to which any such Indemnified Person may hereafter be made party by reason of being or having been an Indemnified Person, except:

(i) with respect to a Director or Officer, to the extent that it shall have been determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such expenses and liabilities arose primarily from acts or omissions, including any mistake of fact or error in judgment, taken, suffered or made, that constituted a breach of the duties of such Director or Officer imposed pursuant to Section 6.20(a) and such breach was the result of (A) willful malfeasance, gross negligence, the commission of a felony or a material violation of applicable Law (including any federal or state securities Law), in each case, that resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material adverse effect on the business or properties of the Company or (B) fraud; and

(ii) with respect to all Indemnified Persons (other than Directors, Officers and Oaktree Capital Group Holdings), to the extent that it shall have been determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such expenses and liabilities arose primarily from acts or omissions, including any mistake of fact or error in judgment, taken, suffered or made, that constituted a breach of the duties of such Indemnified Person and such breach was the result of (A) willful malfeasance, gross negligence, the commission of a felony or a material violation of applicable Law (including any federal or state securities Law), in each case, that resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material adverse effect on the business or properties of the Company or (B) fraud.

Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnified Person, pursuant to a loan, guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Company or any

Subsidiary of the Company (including any indebtedness which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company has assumed or taken subject to), and the Company is hereby authorized and empowered to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 6.16 in favor of any Indemnified Person having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. It is the intention of this Section 6.16(b) that the Company indemnify each Indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted by Law except as specifically provided in this Section 6.16(b).

(c) The termination of any action, suit or proceeding relating to or involving an Indemnified Person by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnified Person breached any duty or committed (i) willful malfeasance, gross negligence, a felony or a material violation of applicable Law (including any federal or state securities Law) that has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material adverse effect on the business or properties of the Company or (ii) fraud.

(d) The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent they limit or eliminate the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, including Section 6.20, are agreed by each Member to modify such duties and liabilities of the Indemnified Person to the extent permitted by Law.

(e) Any indemnification under this Section 6.16 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company unless the Board of Directors determines in the specific case that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is not proper in the circumstances because such Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.16(b). Such determination shall be made by a majority vote of the Directors who are not parties to the applicable suit, action or proceeding. To the extent, however, that an Indemnified Person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Indemnified Person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection therewith, notwithstanding an earlier determination by the Board of Directors that the Indemnified Person had not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.16(b).

(f) Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 6.16(e), and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any Indemnified Person may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Section 6.16(b). The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances because such Indemnified Person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.16(b). Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 6.16(e) nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.16(f) shall be given to the Company promptly upon the filing of such application. If

successful, in whole or in part, the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

(g) To the fullest extent permitted by Law, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Section 6.16.

(h) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Section 6.16 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under this Agreement or any other agreement, vote of Members or disinterested Directors or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnified Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnified Person unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnified Person or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnified Person is indemnified. The provisions of this Section 6.16 shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any Person who is not specified in Section 6.16(b) but whom the Company has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Delaware Act.

(i) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Indemnified Person against any liability asserted against such Indemnified Person and incurred by such Indemnified Person in any capacity in which such Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder, or arising out of such Indemnified Person’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such Indemnified Person against such liability under the provisions of this Section 6.16.

(j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 6.16 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.16.

(k) The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Company and to the employees and agents of the Company Group similar to those conferred in this Section 6.16 to Indemnified Persons.

(l) If this Section 6.16 or any portion of this Section 6.16 shall be invalidated on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnified Person as to expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including a grand jury proceeding or action or suit brought by or

in the right of the Company, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 6.16 that shall not have been invalidated.

(m) Each Indemnified Person may, in the performance of such Indemnified Person’s duties, consult with legal counsel and accountants, and any act or omission by such Indemnified Person on behalf of the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any investment held by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in furtherance of the interests of the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any investment held by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in good faith in reliance upon, and in accordance with, the advice of such legal counsel or accountants will be full justification for any such act or omission, and such Indemnified Person will be fully protected for such acts and omissions, provided that such legal counsel or accountants were selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company or such Subsidiary.

(n) An Indemnified Person shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 6.16 because the Indemnified Person had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(o) Any liabilities which an Indemnified Person incurs as a result of acting on behalf of the Company (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation, administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, penalties assessed by the U.S. Department of Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise) shall be treated as liabilities indemnifiable under this Section 6.16, to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

(p) A Director shall, in the performance of such Director’s duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and on such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any of the Officers or employees of the Company or any other Group Member, or committees of the Board of Directors, or by any other Person as to matters the Director reasonably believes are within such Person’s professional or expert competence.

(q) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.16 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of any Indemnified Person under this Section 6.16 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted and provided such Person became an Indemnified Person hereunder prior to such amendment, modification or repeal.

(r) The provisions of this Section 6.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement with respect to the acts and omissions of an Indemnified Person occurring prior to such termination.

Section 6.17 Resolution of Conflicts of Interest; Standards of Conduct and Modification of Duties.

(a) Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whenever an actual or potential conflict of interest exists or arises between Oaktree Capital Group Holdings, one or more Directors or their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company, any Group Member or any Member other than Oaktree Capital Group Holdings, on the other, any resolution or course of action by the Board of Directors or its Affiliates in respect of such conflict of interest shall be permitted and deemed approved by all Members, and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, of any agreement contemplated herein or of any duty stated or implied by Law or equity, including any fiduciary duty, if the resolution or course of action in respect of such conflict of interest is (i) approved or ratified by the vote of holders of Outstanding Voting Units representing a majority of the total votes that may be cast by all Outstanding Voting Units that are held by disinterested parties, (ii) on terms no less favorable to the Company, Group Member or Member other than Oaktree Capital Group Holdings, as applicable, than those generally being, provided to or available from unrelated third parties, (iii) fair and reasonable to the Company taking into account the totality of the relationships between the parties involved (including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to the Company, Group Member or Member other than Oaktree Capital Group Holdings, as applicable) or (iv) approved or ratified by a majority of the Outside Directors. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall be authorized but not required to seek the approval or ratification of the Outside Directors pursuant to clause (iv) of the preceding sentence or the disinterested holders of Outstanding Voting Units pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, and the Board of Directors may also adopt a resolution or course of action that has not received the approval of the Outside Directors or the disinterested holders of Outstanding Voting Units. Failure to seek such approval shall not be deemed to indicate that a conflict of interest exists or that such approval could not have been obtained. If the Board of Directors determines that the resolution or course of action taken with respect to a conflict of interest satisfies either of the standards set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, then it shall be presumed that, in making its determination, the Board of Directors acted in good faith, and in any proceeding brought by any Member or by or on behalf of such Member or any other Member challenging such determination, the Person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding shall have the burden of overcoming such presumption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the existence of the conflicts of interest described in the Registration Statement are hereby approved by the Members and each other Person who may acquire an interest in Units hereby and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or of any duty (fiduciary or otherwise) otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise or any applicable provision of Law or equity, whenever in this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise the Manager, the Board of Directors, the Company or an Affiliate of the Company is permitted or required to make a decision in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or that it deems “necessary or appropriate” or “necessary or advisable” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, then, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Board of

Directors, the Company or such Affiliate, as the case may be, may make such decision in its sole discretion (regardless of whether there is a reference to “sole discretion” or “discretion”), and shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation (fiduciary or otherwise) to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or the Members, and shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby, under the Delaware Act, the DGCL or under any other Law or in equity, but in all circumstances shall exercise such discretion in good faith. Whenever in this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, the Board of Directors or the Company is permitted to or required to make a decision in its “good faith,” then for purposes of this Agreement or otherwise, the Board of Directors or the Company, as the case may be, shall be conclusively presumed to be acting in good faith if such Person or Persons subjectively believe(s) that the decision made or not made is in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Board of Directors and the Company shall have no duty or obligation, express or implied, to (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any asset of the Oaktree Operating Group other than in the ordinary course of business or (ii) permit any Group Member to use any facilities or assets of the Directors, except as may be provided in contracts entered into from time to time specifically dealing with such use. Any determination by an Affiliate of the Company to enter into such contracts shall be in such Person’s sole discretion.

(d) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, neither the Board of Directors nor any other Indemnified Person shall have any duties or liabilities, including fiduciary duties, to the Company, any Member or any other Person bound by this Agreement, and the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or otherwise modify or eliminate the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties, of the Company or any other Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Company or such other Indemnified Person.

(e) The Members expressly acknowledge that the Board of Directors is under no obligation to consider the separate interests of the Members (including the tax consequences to Members) in deciding whether to cause the Company to take (or decline to take) any actions, and that the Board of Directors or any Director shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by Members in connection with such decisions.

(f) The Members hereby authorize each of (i) the Board of Directors and (ii) the Outside Directors, on behalf of the Company as a partner or member of any Group Member, to approve of actions by the board of directors, managing member or general partner of such Group Member similar to those actions permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 6.17.

Section 6.18 Certificate of Formation. The Certificate of Formation and amendments thereto have been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as

required by the Delaware Act, such filings being hereby confirmed, ratified and approved in all respects. The Board of Directors shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be filed such other certificates or documents that it determines to be necessary or appropriate for the formation, continuation, qualification and operation of a limited liability company in the State of Delaware or any other state in which the Company may elect to do business or own property. To the extent that the Board of Directors determines such action to be necessary or appropriate, the Company shall file amendments to and restatements of the Certificate of Formation and do all things to maintain the Company as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware or of any other state in which the Company may elect to do business or own property, and any such Officer so directed shall be an “authorized person” of the Company within the meaning of the Delaware Act for purposes of filing any such certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Company shall not be required, before or after filing, to deliver or mail a copy of the Certificate of Formation, any qualification document or any amendment thereto to any Member.

(a) The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to appoint such officers with such titles, authority and duties as determined by the Board of Directors. Such Persons so designated by the Board of Directors shall be referred to as “Officers.” The Officers shall have the titles, power, authority and duties as determined by the Board of Directors.

(b) Each Officer shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, disability, resignation or removal. Any number of offices may be held by the same Person. The compensation of Officers elected by the Board of Directors shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors or by such Officers as may be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors.

(c) Any Officer may resign at any time upon written notice to the Company. Any Officer, agent or employee of the Company may be removed by the Board of Directors with or without cause at any time. The Board of Directors may delegate the power of removal as to Officers, agents and employees who have not been appointed by the Board of Directors. Such removal shall be without prejudice to a Person’s contract rights, if any, but the appointment of any Person as an Officer, agent or employee of the Company shall not of itself create contract rights.

(d) The Board of Directors may from time to time delegate the powers or duties of any Officer to any other Officers or agents, notwithstanding any provision hereof.

(e) Unless otherwise directed by the Board of Directors, the Chairman, the President or any other Officer of the Company shall have power to vote and otherwise act on behalf of the Company, in person or by proxy, at any meeting of members of or with respect to any action of equity holders of any other entity in which the Company may hold securities and otherwise to exercise any and all rights and powers which the Company may possess by reason of its ownership of securities in such other entities.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or required by the Delaware Act, (i) the duties and obligations owed to the Company by the Officers and Directors shall be the duty of care and duty of loyalty owed to a corporation organized under DGCL by its officers and directors, respectively, and (ii) the duty of care and duty of loyalty owed to the Members by the Officers and Directors shall be the same as the duty of care and duty of loyalty owed to the stockholders of a corporation under the DGCL by its officers and directors, respectively.

(b) The Board of Directors shall have the right to exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through the duly authorized Officers of the Company, and the Board of Directors shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence on the part of any such Officer duly appointed or duly authorized by the Board of Directors in good faith.

Section 6.21 Reliance by Third Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the Company shall be entitled to assume that the Board of Directors and any Officer authorized by the Board of Directors to act on behalf of and in the name of the Company has full power and authority to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Company and to enter into any authorized contracts on behalf of the Company, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the Board of Directors or any Officer as if it were the Company’s sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Member hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any and all defenses or other remedies that may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the Board of Directors or any Officer in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the Board of Directors or any Officer or their respective representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expediency of any act or action of the Board of Directors or any Officer or their respective representatives. Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Company by the Board of Directors or any Officer or their respective representatives shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (a) at the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement was in full force and effect, (b) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Company and (c) such certificate, document or instrument was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Company.

(a) The Manager shall have only the powers expressly set forth herein to designate and remove members of the Board of Directors, fill vacancies on the Board of Directors, determine from time to time the number of Directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors, resign and designate a substitute Manager, in each case as provided in this Article VI. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, in exercising its authority under this Agreement, the Manager may, but shall not be obligated to, take into account the consequences to any Member of any action taken (or not taken) by it. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Manager shall owe no duties (including any fiduciary duties) to the Company, any Member or any other Person bound by this Agreement

and shall have no liability to the Company, any Member or any other Person bound by this Agreement for monetary damages or otherwise for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by such Member in connection with such decisions. The Manager shall not be responsible or liable to the Company or any Member or other Person bound by this Agreement for the misconduct or negligence of any Director duly appointed by the Manager hereunder.

(b) The Manager may resign at any time by giving notice of such resignation in writing or by electronic transmission to the Board of Directors. Any such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein. The acceptance of such resignation by the Board of Directors shall not be necessary to make it effective. The Manager may at any time designate a substitute Manager that is a Permitted Oaktree Holder, which substitute Manager shall, upon the later of the acceptance of such designation and the effective date of such resignation of the resigning Manager, be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and be deemed the “Manager” for all purposes hereunder. In the event the Manager resigns and does not designate a substitute Manager in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, a substitute Manager shall be elected by the holders of Units representing a majority of the voting power of all Outstanding Voting Units, voting as a single class.

Section 7.1 Records and Accounting. The Board of Directors shall keep or cause to be kept at the principal office of the Company appropriate books and records with respect to the Company’s business, including all books and records necessary to provide to the Members any information required to be provided pursuant to this Agreement. Any books and records maintained by or on behalf of the Company in the regular course of its business, including the record of the Members, books of account and records of Company proceedings, may be kept on, or be in the form of, computer disks, hard drives, punch cards, magnetic tape, photographs, micrographics or any other information storage device; provided, that the books and records so maintained are convertible into clearly legible written form within a reasonable period of time. The Company shall maintain books and records for tax and financial reporting purposes on an accrual basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Section 7.2 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Company (each, a “Fiscal Year”) shall be a year ending December 31. The Board of Directors in its sole discretion may change the Fiscal Year at any time and from time to time, in each case as may be required or permitted under the Code or applicable United States Treasury Regulations, and shall notify the Members of such change in the next regular communication by the Company to the Members.

(a) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mail or make available to each Record Holder of a Unit, as of a date selected by the Board of Directors, within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year, an annual report containing financial statements of the Company for such Fiscal Year, presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP,

including a balance sheet and statements of operations, equity and cash flows, such statements to be audited by a registered public accounting firm selected by the Board of Directors, and such other financial information as the Company deems appropriate.

(b) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mail or make available to each Record Holder of a Unit, as of a date selected by the Board of Directors, within 90 days after the close of each Quarter except the last Quarter of each Fiscal Year, a report containing unaudited financial statements of the Company and such other information as may be required by applicable Law or rule of any Securities Exchange on which the Units are listed for trading, or as the Board of Directors determines to be necessary or appropriate.

(c) The Company shall be deemed to have made a report available to each Record Holder of a Unit as required by this Section 7.3 if it has (i) made such report available on any publicly available website maintained by or on behalf of the Company or (ii) filed such report with the SEC via its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (or any successor system) and such report is publicly available on such system.

Section 8.1 Tax Returns and Information. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to timely file all returns of the Company that are required for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes on the basis of the accrual method and its Fiscal Year. The Company may, in its sole discretion, furnish to Members estimates of all necessary tax information prior to the availability of definitive tax information; provided, however, that each Member hereby agrees that there can be no assurance that such definitive information will be the same as such estimates, and that the Company shall not be liable to any Member or to any other Person for any information contained in any such estimates or for any differences between such estimates and such definitive information. 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 income tax purposes.

Section 8.2 Tax Elections. The Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether to make or refrain from making the election provided for in Section 754 of the Code and any and all other elections permitted by the tax laws of the United States, the several states and other relevant jurisdictions.

Section 8.3 Tax Controversies. The Board of Directors shall designate one Member as the Tax Matters Partner. The initial Tax Matters Partner shall be Oaktree Capital Group Holdings. The Tax Matters Partner is authorized to represent the Company (at the Company’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Company funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. Each Member 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.

Section 8.4 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company is authorized to take any action that may be necessary or appropriate to, or cause the Company and other Group Members to, comply with any withholding requirements established under the Code or any other U.S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. Law including pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445 and 1446 of the Code. To the extent that the Company is required or elects to withhold and pay over to any taxing authority any amount resulting from the allocation or distribution of income to any Member (including by reason of Section 1446 of the Code), the Board of Directors may treat the amount withheld as a distribution of cash pursuant to Sections 5.3 or 9.3 in the amount of such withholding from such Member.

Section 8.5 Election to be Treated as a Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company to continue as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Board of Directors may elect to treat the Company as an association or as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal (and applicable state) income tax purposes. In the event that the Board of Directors determines that the Company should seek relief pursuant to Section 7704(e) of the Code to preserve the status of the Company as a partnership for U.S. federal (and applicable state) income tax purposes, the Company and each Member shall agree to adjustments required by the tax authorities, and the Company shall pay such amounts as required by the tax authorities, to preserve the status of the Company as a partnership.

Section 9.1 Dissolution. The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of Substitute Members or Additional Members. The Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up:

(a) upon an election to dissolve the Company by the Board of Directors that is approved by the holders of Units representing a majority of the voting power of all Outstanding Voting Units;

(b) upon the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware Act; or

(c) at any time when there are no Members of the Company, unless the business of the Company is continued in accordance with the Delaware Act.

Section 9.2 Liquidator. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Board of Directors shall select one or more Persons (which may be the Board of Directors or a Member) to act as Liquidator. The Liquidator (if other than the Board of Directors) shall be entitled to receive such compensation for its services as may be approved by holders of Units representing a majority of the voting power of all Outstanding Voting Units. The Liquidator (if other than the Board of Directors) 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 Units representing a majority of the voting power of all Outstanding Voting Units. 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 holders of Units representing a majority of the voting power of all Outstanding Voting Units. 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 Article IX, 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 Board of Directors 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 Company as provided for herein.

Section 9.3 Liquidation. The Liquidator shall proceed to dispose of the assets of the Company, discharge its liabilities and otherwise wind up its affairs in such manner and over such period as determined by the Liquidator, subject to Section 18-804 of the Delaware Act and the following:

(a) Subject to Section 9.3(c), the assets may be disposed of by public or private sale or by distribution in kind to one or more Members on such terms as the Liquidator and such Member or Members may agree. If any property is distributed in kind, the Member receiving the property shall be deemed for purposes of Section 9.3(c) to have received cash equal to its fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors or the Liquidator in its sole discretion, and contemporaneously therewith appropriate cash distributions must be made to the other Members. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Members understand and acknowledge that a Member may be compelled to accept a distribution of any asset in kind from the Company despite the fact that the percentage of the asset distributed to such Member exceeds the percentage of that asset which is equal to the percentage in which such Member shares in distributions from the Company. The Liquidator may defer liquidation or distribution of the Company’s assets for a reasonable period of time if it determines that an immediate sale or distribution of all or some of the Company’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Members. The Liquidator may distribute the Company’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 Members.

(b) Liabilities of the Company include amounts owed to the Liquidator as compensation for serving in such capacity (subject to the terms of Section 9.2) and amounts owed to Members otherwise than in respect of their distribution rights under Article V. 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 deems appropriate or establish a reserve of cash or other assets to provide for its payment.

(c) Subject to the terms of any Unit Designation, all property and all cash in excess of that required to discharge liabilities as provided in Section 9.3(b) shall be distributed to

the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests as of a Record Date selected by the Liquidator.

Section 9.4 Cancellation of Certificate of Formation. Upon the completion of the distribution of Company cash and property as provided in Section 9.3 in connection with the liquidation of the Company, the Certificate of Formation and all qualifications of the Company as a foreign limited liability company in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware shall be cancelled and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company shall be taken.

Section 9.5 Return of Contributions. Neither the Manager nor any Director or Officer shall be personally liable for, or have any obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Company to enable it to effectuate, the return of the Capital Contributions of the Members, or any portion thereof, it being expressly understood that any such return shall be made solely from Company assets.

Section 9.6 Waiver of Partition. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, each Member hereby waives any right to partition of the Company property.

Section 9.7 Capital Account Restoration. No Member shall have any obligation to restore any negative balance in its Capital Account upon liquidation of the Company.

Section 10.1 General. Except as provided in Sections 10.2 and 10.3, the Board of Directors may amend any of the terms of this Agreement, but only in compliance with the terms, conditions and procedures set forth in this Section 10.1. Amendments to this Agreement may be proposed only by or with the consent of the Board of Directors. If an amendment to any provision of this Agreement other than pursuant to Section 10.3 has been proposed by or with the consent of the Board of Directors, then the Board of Directors shall first adopt a resolution setting forth the amendment proposed, declaring its advisability, and then (a) call a meeting of the Members entitled to vote in respect thereof for the consideration of such amendment or (b) seek the written consent of the Members. Such meeting shall be called and held upon notice in accordance with Article XII of this Agreement. The notice shall set forth such amendment in full or a brief summary of the changes to be effected thereby, as the Board of Directors shall deem advisable. At the meeting, a vote of Members entitled to vote thereon shall be taken for and against the proposed amendment. A proposed amendment shall be effective upon its approval by holders of Units representing a majority of the voting power of all Outstanding Voting Units, unless a greater percentage is required under this Agreement or by the Delaware Act.

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 10.1 and 10.3, no provision of this Agreement that establishes a percentage of the voting power of Outstanding Voting Units required to take any action shall be amended, altered, changed, repealed or rescinded in any respect that would have the effect of reducing such percentage unless such amendment is

approved by the affirmative vote of holders of Outstanding Voting Units whose aggregate Outstanding Voting Units represent not less than the voting requirement sought to be reduced.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 10.1 and 10.3, no amendment to this Agreement may (i) enlarge the obligations of any Member without its consent, unless such shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of an amendment approved pursuant to Section 10.2(c), (ii) change Section 9.1(a), (iii) change the term of the Company or (iv) except as set forth in Section 9.1(a), give any Person the right to dissolve the Company.

(c) Except as provided in Sections 10.3 and 11.3, any amendment that would have a material adverse effect on the rights or preferences of any class or series of Units in relation to other classes or series of Units must be approved by the holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Units of the class or series affected. The issuance by the Company of securities having rights superior to those of Outstanding Units or Units having a dilutive effect on Outstanding Units shall not be deemed to have material adverse effect on the rights or preferences of any class or series of Units.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 10.1, the affirmative vote of the holders of Units representing at least two-thirds of the voting power of all Outstanding Voting Units shall be required to alter or amend any provision of this Section 10.2.

Section 10.3 Amendments to be Adopted Solely by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding Section 10.1, each Member agrees that the Board of Directors, without the approval of any Member or any other Person, may amend any provision of this Agreement, and execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file and record whatever documents may be required in connection therewith, to reflect:

(a) a change in the name of the Company, the location of the principal place of business of the Company, the registered agent of the Company or the registered office of the Company;

(b) the admission, substitution, resignation or removal of Members or the Manager in accordance with this Agreement;

(c) a change that the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion to be necessary or appropriate to qualify or continue the qualification of the Company as a limited liability company under the laws of any state or to ensure that the Group Members will not be treated as associations taxable as corporations or otherwise taxed as entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

(d) a change that the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion to be necessary or appropriate to address changes in U.S. federal income tax regulations, legislation or interpretation;

(e) a change that the Board of Directors in its sole discretion determines (i) does not adversely affect the Members considered as a whole (including any particular class or series of Units as compared to other classes or series of Units) in any material respect, (ii) to be necessary, desirable or appropriate to satisfy any requirements, conditions or guidelines

contained in any opinion, directive, order, ruling or regulation of any U.S. federal or state or non-U.S. agency or judicial authority or contained in any U.S. federal or state or non-U.S. statute (including the Delaware Act), (iii) to be necessary, desirable or appropriate to facilitate the trading of Units (including the division of any class or classes or series of Outstanding Units into different classes or series to facilitate uniformity of tax consequences within such classes or series of Units) or comply with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any Securities Exchange on which Units are or will be listed for trading, (iv) to be necessary or appropriate in connection with action taken by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 3.12 or (v) is required to effect the intent expressed in the Registration Statement or the intent of the provisions of this Agreement or is otherwise contemplated by this Agreement;

(h) an amendment that the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the authorization or issuance of any class or series of Units pursuant to Section 4.6 and the admission of Additional Members;

(i) an amendment expressly permitted in this Agreement to be made by the Board of Directors acting alone (including pursuant to Sections 3.6(c) or 5.2(b));

(j) an amendment effected, necessitated or contemplated by a Merger Agreement or Plan of Conversion approved in accordance with Section 11.3;

(k) an amendment that the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion to be necessary or appropriate to reflect and account for the formation by the Company of, or investment by the Company in, any corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company or other entity, in connection with the conduct by the Company of activities permitted by the terms of Sections 2.4 or 6.1(a);

(l) an amendment effected, necessitated or contemplated by an amendment to the Oaktree Operating Group Partnership Agreements that requires a holder of an Oaktree Operating Group Unit to provide a statement, certification or other proof of evidence to the Oaktree Operating Group Partnership regarding whether such unitholder is subject to U.S. federal income taxation on the income generated by the Oaktree Operating Group Partnerships;

(m) a merger, conversion, conveyance or other business combination pursuant to Section 11.3(d), including an amendment permitted pursuant to Section 11.5; or

Section 11.1 Authority. The Company may merge or consolidate or otherwise combine with or into one or more corporations, limited liability companies, statutory trusts, business trusts or associations, real estate investment trusts, common law trusts or unincorporated businesses, including a partnership (whether general or limited (including a limited liability partnership or a limited liability limited partnership)), or convert into any such entity, formed under the laws of the State of Delaware or any other state of the United States of America, pursuant to a written agreement of merger, consolidation or other business combination (a “Merger Agreement”), or a written plan of conversion (a “Plan of Conversion”), as the case may be, in accordance with this Article XI.

Section 11.2 Procedure for Merger, Consolidation, Conversion or Other Business Combination. Merger, consolidation, conversion or other business combination of the Company pursuant to this Article XI requires the prior consent of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Board of Directors shall have no duty or obligation to consent to any merger, consolidation, conversion or other business combination of the Company and, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, may decline to do so free of any duty (including any fiduciary duty) or obligation whatsoever to the Company, any Member or any other Person bound by this Agreement and, in declining to consent to a merger, consolidation, conversion or other business combination, shall not be required to act pursuant to any other standard imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware Act or any other Law or at equity. If the Board of Directors shall determine, in the exercise of its sole discretion, to consent to the merger, consolidation or other business combination, the Board of Directors shall approve the Merger Agreement or Plan of Conversion, which shall set forth:

(a) the names and jurisdictions of formation or organization of each of the business entities proposing to merge, consolidate, convert or combine;

(b) the name and jurisdiction of formation or organization of the business entity that is to survive the proposed merger, consolidation, conversion or other business combination (the “Surviving Business Entity”);

(d) the manner and basis of converting or exchanging the equity securities of each constituent business entity for, or into, cash, property or interests, rights, securities or obligations of the Surviving Business Entity; and (i) if any interests in or securities or rights of any constituent business entity are not to be converted or exchanged solely for, or into, cash, property or interests in or rights, securities or obligations of the Surviving Business Entity, the

cash, property or interests in or rights, securities or obligations of any general or limited partnership, corporation, trust, limited liability company, unincorporated business or other entity (other than the Surviving Business Entity) which the holders of such interests, securities or rights are to receive upon conversion of, or in exchange for, their interests, securities or rights, and (ii) in the case of securities represented by certificates, upon the surrender of such certificates, which cash, property or interests in or rights, securities or obligations of the Surviving Business Entity or any general or limited partnership, corporation, trust, limited liability company, unincorporated business or other entity (other than the Surviving Business Entity), or evidences thereof, are to be delivered;

(e) a statement of any changes in the constituent documents or the adoption of new constituent documents (the articles or certificate of incorporation, articles of trust, declaration of trust, certificate or agreement of limited partnership, operating agreement or other similar charter or governing document) of the Surviving Business Entity to be effected by such merger, consolidation, conversion or other business combination;

(f) the effective time of the merger, consolidation, conversion or other business combination, which may be the date of the filing of the certificate of merger or consolidation or similar certificate pursuant to Section 11.4 or a later date specified in or determinable in accordance with the Merger Agreement or Plan of Conversion; provided, that if the effective time of such transaction is to be later than the date of the filing of such certificate, the effective time shall be fixed at a date or time certain at or prior to the time of the filing of such certificate and stated therein; and

(g) such other provisions with respect to the proposed merger, consolidation, conversion or other business combination that the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion to be necessary or appropriate.

Section 11.3 Approval by Members of Merger, Consolidation, Conversion or Other Business Combination.

(a) Except as provided in Section 11.3(d), the Board of Directors, upon its approval of the Merger Agreement or Plan of Conversion, shall direct that the Merger Agreement or Plan of Conversion, as applicable, and the merger, consolidation, conversion or other business combination contemplated thereby be submitted to a vote of the Members, whether at an annual meeting or special meeting, in either case in accordance with the requirements of Article XII. A copy or a summary of the Merger Agreement or Plan of Conversion shall be included in or enclosed with the notice of meeting.

(b) Except as provided in Section 11.3(d), the Merger Agreement or Plan of Conversion and the merger, consolidation, conversion or other business combination contemplated thereby shall be approved upon receiving the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of Outstanding Voting Units.

(c) Except as provided in Section 11.3(d), after such approval by vote of the Members, and at any time prior to the filing of the certificate of merger, consolidation, conversion or similar certificate pursuant to Section 11.4, the merger, consolidation, conversion

or other business combination may be abandoned pursuant to provisions therefor, if any, set forth in the Merger Agreement, or the Plan of Conversion, as the case may be.

(d) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Article XI or in this Agreement, the Board of Directors may, without Member approval, (i) convert the Company or any Group Member into a new limited liability entity or (ii) merge the Company or any Group Member into, or convey all of the Company’s assets to, another limited liability entity, which entity shall be newly formed and shall have no assets, liabilities or operations at the time of such conversion, merger or conveyance other than those it receives from the Company or other Group Member; provided, that (A) the Company has received an Opinion of Counsel that the merger or conveyance, as the case may be, will not result in the loss of the limited liability of any Member, (B) the sole purpose of such conversion, merger or conveyance is to effect a mere change in the legal form of the Company into another limited liability entity and (C) the governing instruments of the new entity provide the Members and the Board of Directors with substantially the same rights and obligations as are herein contained.

(e) Members are not entitled to dissenters’ rights of appraisal in the event of a merger, consolidation or conversion pursuant to this Article XI, a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the Company’s Subsidiaries or any other similar transaction or event.

(f) Without the approval of any Member, the Board of Directors may, at any time, cause the Company to implement a reorganization whereby a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) would hold all Outstanding Class A Units and the Record Holder of each Class A Unit would receive, in exchange for such Class A Unit, a common share of the Trust which would represent one beneficial interest in the Trust, and each common share of the Trust would correspond to one underlying Class A Unit; provided, however, that the Board of Directors shall not implement such a trust structure if, in its sole discretion, it determines that such reorganization would be taxable or otherwise alter the benefits or burdens of ownership of the Class A Units, including altering a Member’s allocation of items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit or the treatment of such items for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Board of Directors will also be required to implement the reorganization in such a manner that the reorganization does not have a material effect on the voting or economic rights of Class A Units and Class B Units.

Section 11.4 Certificate of Merger, Conversion or Consolidation. Upon the required approval by the Board of Directors and the Members of a Merger Agreement or Plan of Conversion and the merger, consolidation, conversion or business combination contemplated thereby, a certificate of merger, conversion or consolidation or similar certificate shall be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and any other applicable Governmental Entity in conformity with the requirements of the Delaware Act and other applicable Law.

Section 11.5 Amendment of Operating Agreement. Pursuant to Section 18-209(f) of the Delaware Act, and notwithstanding Article X hereof, an agreement of merger, consolidation or other business combination approved in accordance with this Article XI may (a) effect any amendment to this Agreement or (b) effect the adoption of a new operating agreement

for a limited liability company if it is the Surviving Business Entity. Any such amendment or adoption made pursuant to this Section 11.5 shall be effective at the effective time or date of the merger, consolidation or other business combination.

(a) All acts of Members to be taken hereunder shall be taken in the manner provided in this Article XII. Meetings of the Members holding any class or series of Units may be called only by a majority of the Board of Directors. For the avoidance of doubt, the Class A Units and Class B Units shall not constitute separate classes for this purpose. A meeting shall be held at a time and place determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion on a date not less than 10 calendar days nor more than 60 calendar days after the mailing of notice of the meeting.

(b) In the event that Permitted Oaktree Holders collectively hold less than 10% of the issued and outstanding Oaktree Operating Group Units, all elections of Directors shall be by written ballots. Unless otherwise provided by resolution of the Board of Directors, such requirement of a written ballot may be satisfied by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission; provided, that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be reasonably determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the Member or proxyholder.

(c) For so long as Permitted Oaktree Holders collectively hold 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Oaktree Operating Group Units, the Company shall not be required to have an annual meeting unless otherwise required by applicable Law. In the event that Permitted Oaktree Holders collectively hold less than 10% of the issued and outstanding Oaktree Operating Group Units and the annual meeting for election of Directors is not held on the date designated therefor, the Directors shall cause the meeting to be held as soon as is convenient. If there is a failure to hold the annual meeting for a period of 30 days after the date designated for the annual meeting, or if no date has been designated, for a period of 13 months after the latest to occur of the Offering Date or its last annual meeting, it is the intent of the parties that no annual meeting be held for that year. In such situations, the Board of Directors will cause the Company to provide notice to all Members entitled to vote in the election of Directors as to the manner in which the election shall be conducted and the procedure that such Member must comply with in order to vote in the election of Directors.

Section 12.2 Notice of Meetings of Members. Notice, stating the place, day and hour of any annual or special meeting of the Members, as determined by the Board of Directors, and (a) in the case of a special meeting of the Members, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called or (b) in the case of an annual meeting, those matters that the Board of Directors, at the time of giving the notice, intends to present for action by the Members, shall be delivered by the Company not less than 10 calendar days nor more than 60 calendar days before the date of the meeting, in a manner and otherwise in accordance with Section 14.1, to each

Record Holder who is entitled to vote at such meeting. Such further notice shall be given as may be required by the Delaware Act. Only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of Members as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting. Any previously scheduled meeting of the Members may be postponed, and any meeting of the Members may be cancelled, by resolution of the Board of Directors upon public notice given prior to the date previously scheduled for such meeting of the Members.

Section 12.3 Record Date. For purposes of determining the Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Members or to give approvals without a meeting as provided in Section 12.8, the Board of Directors may set a Record Date, which shall not be less than 10 calendar days nor more than 60 calendar days before (a) the date of the meeting (unless such requirement conflicts with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any Securities Exchange on which the Units are listed for trading, in which case the rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of such Securities Exchange shall govern) or (b) in the event that approvals are sought without a meeting, the date by which Members are requested in writing by the Board of Directors to give such approvals. If no Record Date is fixed by the Board of Directors, then (i) the Record Date for determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members shall be at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the day on which notice is given and (ii) the Record Date for determining the Members entitled to give approvals without a meeting shall be the date the first written approval is deposited with the Company in accordance with Section 12.8. A determination of Members of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members shall apply to any adjournment or postponement of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new Record Date for the adjourned or postponed meeting.

Section 12.4 Adjournment. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of Members may be adjourned from time to time by the affirmative vote of Members holding at least a majority of the voting power of the Outstanding Units entitled to vote at such meeting represented either in person or by proxy, but no other business may be transacted, except as provided in this Section 12.4. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting and a new Record Date need not be fixed, if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless such adjournment shall be for more than 45 days. At the adjourned meeting, the Company may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 45 days or if a new Record Date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in accordance with this Article XII.

Section 12.5 Waiver of Notice; Approval of Meeting. The transactions of any meeting of Members, however called and noticed, and whenever held, shall be as valid as if they had occurred at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy. Attendance of a Member at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting, except (a) when the Member attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business at such meeting because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, and (b) that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to disapprove the consideration of matters required to be included in the notice of the meeting, but not so included, if the disapproval is expressly made at the meeting.

(a) The Members holding a majority of the voting power of the Outstanding Units of the class or classes or series for which a meeting has been called represented in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of the Members of such class or classes or series unless any such action by the Members requires approval by Members holding a greater percentage of the voting power of such Units, in which case the quorum shall be such greater percentage. For the avoidance of doubt, the Class A Units and Class B Units shall not constitute separate classes for this purpose.

(b) At any meeting of the Members duly called and held in accordance with this Agreement at which a quorum is present, the act of Members holding Outstanding Units that in the aggregate represent a majority of the voting power of the Outstanding Units entitled to vote at such meeting and which are present in person or by proxy at such meeting shall be deemed to constitute the act of all Members, unless a greater or different percentage is required with respect to a matter under the Delaware Act, under the rules of any Securities Exchange on which the Units are listed for trading, or under the provisions of this Agreement, in which case the act of the Members holding Outstanding Units that in the aggregate represent at least such greater or different percentage of the voting power shall be required. The Members present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Members to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by the required percentage of the voting power of Outstanding Units specified in this Agreement.

(c) In the event that Permitted Oaktree Holders collectively hold less than 10% of the issued and outstanding Oaktree Operating Group Units, Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast for a particular position.

Section 12.7 Conduct of a Meeting. The Board of Directors shall have full power and authority concerning the manner of conducting any meeting of the Members or solicitation of approvals in writing, including the determination of Persons entitled to vote, the existence of a quorum, the satisfaction of the requirements of this Article XII, the conduct of voting, the validity and effect of any proxies and the determination of any controversies, votes or challenges arising in connection with or during the meeting or voting. The Board of Directors shall designate a Person to serve as chairman of any meeting and shall further designate a Person to take the minutes of any meeting. All minutes shall be kept with the records of the Company maintained by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may make such other regulations consistent with applicable Law and this Agreement as it may deem advisable concerning the conduct of any meeting of the Members or solicitation of approvals in writing, including regulations in regard to the appointment of proxies, the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes and approvals, the submission and examination of proxies and other evidence of the right to vote and the revocation of approvals, proxies and votes in writing.

Section 12.8 Action Without a Meeting. Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting, without a vote and without prior notice, if an approval in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by Members holding not less than the minimum percentage of the voting power of the Outstanding Voting Units that

would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all the Members were present and voted (unless such provision conflicts with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any Securities Exchange on which the Units or a class or series thereof are listed for trading, in which case the rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of such Securities Exchange shall govern). Reasonable notice of the taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Members who have not approved in writing. The Board of Directors may specify that a written ballot, if any, submitted to Members for the purpose of taking any action without a meeting shall be returned to the Company within the time period, which shall be not less than 20 days, specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. If a ballot returned to the Company does not vote all of the Units held by a Member, the Units held by such Member and not voted on such ballot shall be deemed to have been voted in the same manner and in the same proportions as the voted Units. If approval of the taking of any action by the Members is solicited by any Person other than by or on behalf of the Board of Directors, the written approvals shall have no force and effect unless and until (a) they are deposited with the Company in the care of the Secretary or another Officer designated by the Board of Directors, (b) approvals sufficient to take the action proposed are dated as of a date not more than 90 days prior to the date sufficient approvals are deposited with the Company and (c) an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the Company to the effect that the exercise of such right and the action proposed to be taken with respect to any particular matter is permissible under the state statutes then governing the rights, duties and liabilities of the Company and the Members. Nothing contained in this Section 12.8 shall be deemed to require the Board of Directors to solicit all Members in connection with a matter approved by Members holding the requisite percentage of the voting power of the Outstanding Voting Units acting by written consent without a meeting.

(a) Only those Record Holders of Units on the Record Date set pursuant to Section 12.3 shall be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, a meeting of Members or to act with respect to matters as to which the holders of the Outstanding Voting Units have the right to vote or to act (including the giving of approval in writing). All references in this Agreement to votes of, or other acts that may be taken by, the holders of Outstanding Voting Units shall be deemed to be references to the votes or acts of the Record Holders of such Outstanding Voting Units on such Record Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 12.9 (as well as the other provisions of this Agreement) are subject to the provisions of Section 3.4.

(b) With respect to Outstanding Voting Units that are held for a Person’s account by another Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation, or an agent of any of the foregoing), in whose name such Outstanding Voting Units are registered, such other Person shall, in exercising the voting rights in respect of such Outstanding Voting Units on any matter, and unless the arrangement between such Persons provides otherwise, vote such Outstanding Voting Units in favor of, and at the direction of, the Person who is the Beneficial Owner, and the Company shall be entitled to assume it is so acting without further inquiry.

(a) On any matter that is to be voted on by Members, the Members may vote in person or by proxy, and such proxy may be granted in writing, by means of electronic transmission or as otherwise permitted by applicable Law. Any such proxy shall be filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “electronic transmission” means any form of communication not directly involving the physical transmission of paper that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process. Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this paragraph may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used; provided, that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

(b) The Company may, and to the extent required by applicable Law, shall, in advance of any meeting of Members, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Company may designate one or more alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of Members, the Person presiding at the meeting may, and to the extent required by applicable Law, shall, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. Every vote taken by ballot shall be counted by a duly appointed inspector or inspectors.

(c) With respect to the use of proxies at any meeting of Members, the Company shall be governed by paragraphs (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 212 of the DGCL and other applicable provisions of the DGCL, as though the Company were a Delaware corporation and as though the Members were stockholders of a Delaware corporation.

Section 13.1 Right to Acquire Units. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time less than 10% of the total Units of any series or class then Outstanding are held by Persons other than the Principals and Persons Controlled by the Principals, the Company shall then have the right, which right it may assign and transfer in whole or in part to any Affiliate, exercisable in its sole discretion, to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Units of such series or class then Outstanding held by Persons other than the Principals and Persons Controlled by the Principals, at the greater of (a) the Current Market Price as of the date three days prior to the date that the notice described in Section 13.2 is mailed and (b) the highest price paid by the Company or any of its Affiliates for any Unit of such series or class purchased during the 90-day period preceding the date that the notice described in Section 13.2 is mailed.

Section 13.2 Notice of Election to Purchase. If the Company or any Affiliate elects to exercise the right to purchase Units of any series or class granted pursuant to Section 13.1, the Company shall deliver to the Transfer Agent notice of such election to purchase (the “Notice of Election to Purchase”) and shall cause the Transfer Agent to send by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or overnight courier of national reputation, a copy of such Notice of Election to Purchase to the Record Holders of Units of such series or class (as of a Record Date selected by the Company) at least 10, but not more than 60, days prior to the date selected by the Company to purchase the Units (the “Purchase Date”). Such Notice of Election to Purchase shall also be published for a period of at least three consecutive days in at least two daily newspapers of general circulation printed in the English language and circulated in the Borough of Manhattan, New York. The Notice of Election to Purchase shall specify the Purchase Date and the price (determined in accordance with Section 13.1) at which Units will be purchased and state that the Company or its Affiliate, as the case may be, elects to purchase such Units (in the case of Units evidenced by Certificates, upon surrender of Certificates representing such Units) in exchange for payment at such office or offices of the Transfer Agent as the Transfer Agent may specify or as may be required by any Securities Exchange on which such Units are listed for trading. Any such Notice of Election to Purchase mailed to a Record Holder of Units at its address as reflected on the records of the Transfer Agent shall be conclusively presumed to have been given regardless of whether the Record Holder receives such notice. On or prior to the Purchase Date, the Company or its Affiliate, as the case may be, shall deposit with the Transfer Agent cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate purchase price of all of such Units to be purchased in accordance with this Section 13.2. If the Notice of Election to Purchase shall have been duly given as aforesaid at least 10 days prior to the Purchase Date, and if on or prior to the Purchase Date the deposit described in the preceding sentence has been made for the benefit of the holders of Units subject to purchase as provided herein, then from and after the Purchase Date, notwithstanding that any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for purchase, all rights of the holders of such Units (including any rights pursuant to Articles IV, V, VII, and XII) shall thereupon cease, except the right to receive the purchase price (determined in accordance with Section 13.1) for Units therefor, without interest (in the case of Units evidenced by Certificates, upon surrender to the Transfer Agent of the Certificates representing such Units) and such Units shall thereupon be deemed to be transferred to the Company or its Affiliate, as the case may be, on the record books of the Transfer Agent, and the Company or its Affiliate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be the owner of all such Units from and after the Purchase Date and shall have all rights as the owner of such Units (including all rights as owner of such Units pursuant to Articles IV, V, VII and XII).

(a) Unless otherwise specified herein, any notice, demand, request, report or proxy materials required or permitted to be given or made to a Member under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given or made when delivered in person or when sent by first class United States mail or other means of written communication to the Member at the

address described below. Any notice, payment in the form of a check, demand, request, report or proxy materials to be given or made to a Member in respect of any Units hereunder shall be deemed conclusively to have been given or made, and the obligation to give such notice, demand, request, report or proxy materials or to make such payment shall be deemed conclusively to have been fully satisfied, upon the sending of such notice, payment, demand, request, report or proxy materials to the Record Holder of such Units at its address as shown on the records of the Transfer Agent or as otherwise shown on the records of the Company, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such Units by reason of any assignment or otherwise.

(b) An affidavit or certificate of making of any notice, demand, request, report or proxy materials in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.1 executed by the Company, the Transfer Agent or the mailing organization shall be prima facie evidence of the giving or making of such notice, demand, request, report or proxy materials. If any notice, demand, request, report or proxy materials given or made in accordance with this Section 14.1 is returned marked to indicate that such notice, demand, request, report or proxy materials was unable to be delivered, then such notice, demand, request, report or proxy materials, and in the case of notice, demand, request, report or proxy materials returned by the United States Postal Service or overnight courier of national reputation (or other physical mail delivery service outside of the United States of America), any subsequent notice, demand, request, report or proxy materials, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made without further mailing (until a reasonable period after such time as such Member or another Person notifies the Transfer Agent or the Company in writing of a change in such Member’s address) or other delivery if it is available for the Member at the principal office of the Company for a period of one year from the date of the giving or making of such notice, demand, request, report or proxy materials to the other Members. Any notice to the Company shall be deemed given if received by the Secretary at the principal office of the Company designated pursuant to Section 2.3. The Board of Directors and any Officer may rely and shall be protected in relying on any notice or other document from a Member or other Person if believed by the Board of Directors or such Officer to be genuine.

Section 14.2 Further Action. The parties shall execute and deliver all documents, provide all information and take or refrain from taking action as may be necessary or appropriate to achieve the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 14.3 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. The Indemnified Persons and their heirs, executors, administrators and successors shall be entitled to receive the benefits of this Agreement.

Section 14.4 Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings pertaining thereto.

Section 14.5 Creditors. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of, or shall be enforceable by, any creditor of the Company.

Section 14.6 Waiver. No failure by any party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof shall constitute waiver of any such breach of any other covenant, duty, agreement or condition.

Section 14.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which together shall constitute an agreement binding on all the parties hereto, notwithstanding that all such parties are not signatories to the original or the same counterpart. Each party shall become bound by this Agreement immediately upon affixing its signature hereto or, in the case of a Person acquiring a Unit pursuant to Section 3.1(a), without execution hereof.

Section 14.8 Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely therein.

Section 14.9 Invalidity of Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected thereby.

Section 14.10 Consent of Members. Each Member hereby expressly consents and agrees that, whenever in this Agreement it is specified that an action may be taken upon the affirmative vote or consent of less than all of the Members, such action may be so taken upon the concurrence of less than all of the Members and each Member shall be bound by the results of such action.

Section 14.11 Facsimile Signatures. The use of facsimile signatures affixed in the name and on behalf of an Officer or Transfer Agent on Certificates is expressly permitted by this Agreement.

Section 14.12 Effectiveness of Amendment. The amendment and restatement of the Second Amended Agreement into this Agreement shall take effect on the Offering Date.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been executed as of the date first written above.
