ARTICLE III

3.1 Future Shareholders and Transfers. Unless otherwise waived in its sole discretion by the applicable ACRA Board, the applicable ACRA Investment Entity shall require that each Person that acquires capital stock of an ACRA Investment Entity after the date hereof (or, in the case of a New ACRA Investment Entity, each Person that acquires capital stock of such New ACRA Investment Entity after the date such New ACRA Investment Entity executes a Joinder Agreement) (a “Future Shareholder”), as a condition to the effectiveness of such acquisition, execute a counterpart to this Agreement (if such Person is not then a party to this Agreement), agreeing to be treated as a Class A Shareholder or a Class B Shareholder, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (a) any Co-Investor acquires Equity Securities from an ACRA Investment Entity, ALRe and/or any other Class A Shareholder, in each case, such Equity Securities shall be deemed Class A Common Shares and shall be bound by, and entitled to the benefits of, the provisions of this Agreement and the Bye-laws applicable to Class A Common Shares and Class A Common Shareholders and (b) ALRe acquires Equity Securities from an ACRA Investment Entity or a Class A Common Shareholder, in each case, such Equity Securities shall be deemed Class B Common Shares and shall be bound by, and entitled to the benefits of, the provisions of this Agreement and the Bye-laws applicable to Class B Common Shares and Class B Shareholders.

3.2 Limitations on Transfers

(a) Subject to Section 3.2(b) and, in the case of a proposed Transfer by a Shareholder under clause (e) of the definition of Permitted Transfer, this Section 3.2(a), a Shareholder may Transfer Shares if such Transfer is a Permitted Transfer, and otherwise no Shareholder shall be permitted to Transfer any Shares held by such Shareholder or Commitments of such Shareholder to subscribe for additional Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, no Transfer that would cause ACRA (or any other relevant ACRA Investment Entity) to fail to qualify for the benefits of the Treaty shall be permitted hereunder. In the event a Shareholder requests that a proposed Transfer be approved by the applicable ACRA Board as contemplated by clause (e) of the definition of Permitted Transfer, such Shareholder may Transfer all or any of the Shares and Commitments held at the time of the proposed Transfer by such Shareholder to a Third Party (a “Third Party Transfer”) upon approval of the applicable ACRA Board of such Third Party Transfer, which approval shall not be

unreasonably withheld (any such approval, an “ACRA Board Third Party Transfer Approval”), and the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) the Shareholder shall have delivered prior written notice to the applicable ACRA Investment Entity, identifying the proposed Transferee and describing in reasonably sufficient detail the terms and conditions of the proposed Third Party Transfer (a “Third Party Transfer Notice”) accompanied by a written legal opinion (which may be an opinion of internal corporate and securities legal counsel of the Shareholder), if requested by the applicable ACRA Investment Entity, addressed to the applicable ACRA Investment Entity, and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the applicable ACRA Investment Entity, to the effect that the proposed Third Party Transfer (A) will be made in compliance with applicable securities laws and may be effected without registration under, or subject the applicable ACRA Investment Entity to ongoing reporting obligations under, applicable securities laws, (B) will not cause the applicable ACRA Investment Entity to be required to register under the Investment Company Act and (C) will not subject the applicable ACRA Investment Entity, ALRe or any of their respective Affiliates to additional regulatory requirements (other than de minimis requirements of general applicability) and (ii) the proposed Transferee shall have executed a confidentiality agreement on terms reasonably acceptable to the applicable ACRA Investment Entity; provided, that the primary business or other material business operations of proposed Transferee or any Affiliate of such proposed Transferee is not in the business of underwriting and/or insuring or reinsuring life insurance, annuities, or similar products anywhere in the world nor is such proposed Transferee or any Affiliate thereof an Affiliate of any entity conducting such business, unless the applicable ACRA Investment Entity in its sole discretion waives such requirement. Subject to an ACRA Board Third Party Approval and the satisfaction of the condition described in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the applicable ACRA Investment Entity shall co-operate reasonably with the Shareholder to facilitate the delivery of information to the proposed Transferee regarding the applicable ACRA Investment Entity and the applicable Shares (“ACRA Information”) that is reasonably necessary for the proposed Transferee to evaluate the proposed Third Party Transfer; provided, that the applicable ACRA Investment Entity shall not be required to deliver any ACRA Information that (x) it reasonably determines constitutes material non-public information or the disclosure of which the applicable ACRA Investment Entity reasonably believes to be prohibited by agreement or Applicable Law or would result in a waiver of the attorney-client privilege or (y) the disclosure of which the applicable ACRA Investment Entity reasonably believes would have an adverse effect on the applicable ACRA Investment Entity or any of its Affiliates. Any purported Transfer in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.2(a) shall be null and void and shall have no force or effect.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Transfer of any Shares by any Shareholder shall become effective unless and until the Transferee executes and delivers to the applicable ACRA Investment Entity a counterpart to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the applicable ACRA Board, unless such Transferee is already subject to this Agreement. Any Transfer of Shares by any such Shareholder not in accordance with this paragraph shall be null and void and shall have no force or effect, shall not be recorded on the books of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity, and shall not be recognized by the applicable ACRA Investment Entity.

(c) Each Co-Investor and any Future Shareholder that is an entity that was formed for the sole purpose of directly or indirectly acquiring Shares or that has no substantial assets other than Shares or direct or indirect interests in Shares agrees that (i) no common shares or other instruments reflecting equity interests may be Transferred (including any Transfer or issuance by the applicable ACRA Investment Entity) to any Person other than in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement as if such common shares or other instruments reflecting equity interests were Shares and (ii) any Transfer of such common shares or other instruments reflecting equity interests shall be deemed to be a transfer of a pro rata number of Shares hereunder.

3.3 Co‑Sale Rights

(a) If at any time ALRe proposes to Transfer to a Third Party (the “Co‑Sale Offeree”) any Shares of an ACRA Investment Entity owned by ALRe that, together with all of the Shares of such ACRA Investment Entity previously Transferred by ALRe, represent in excess of ten percent (10%) of ALRe’s equity interest in such ACRA Investment Entity, ALRe shall, at least fifteen (15) business days before such Transfer deliver a notice (the “Co‑Sale Notice”) to the applicable ACRA Investment Entity and the Class A Shareholders of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity setting forth the material terms in connection with such proposed Transfer, including (i) the number of Shares to which the Co‑Sale Notice relates and the name and address of the Co‑Sale Offeree, (ii) the proposed amount and type of consideration and the terms and conditions of payment offered by the Co‑Sale Offeree, (iii) a description of the anticipated required indemnities by ALRe (and any Class A Shareholder of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity that may elect to participate in the proposed Transfer pursuant to this Section 3.3) and the Co-Sale Offeree and (iv) an indication that the Co‑Sale Offeree has been informed of the co-sale rights provided for in this Section 3.3 and has agreed to purchase Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the granting of a pledge or security interest in any Shares owned by ALRe shall not be subject to this Section 3.3.

(b) Within fifteen (15) business days after delivery of the Co‑Sale Notice by ALRe, each Class A Shareholder of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity may elect to participate in the proposed Transfer by delivering to such Co‑Sale Offeree a notice (the “Tag-Along Notice”) specifying the number of Class A Common Shares up to his, her or its Pro Rata Amount of such Common Shares, with respect to which such Class A Shareholder intends to exercise his, her or its rights under this Section 3.3. If none of the Class A Shareholders of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity give ALRe a timely Tag-Along Notice with respect to the sale proposed in the Co‑Sale Notice, ALRe may thereafter sell the Shares specified in the Co‑Sale Notice on terms and conditions no more favorable, in all material respects, in the aggregate, than the terms and conditions set forth in the Co‑Sale Notice. If one or more of the Class A Shareholders of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity give ALRe a timely Tag-Along Notice, then ALRe shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Co‑Sale Offeree(s) to agree to acquire all Shares identified in all Tag-Along Notices that are timely given to ALRe, at an aggregate price equal to the Pecuniary Value of such Shares and upon other terms and conditions no less favorable,

in all material respects, in the aggregate, than such other terms and conditions set forth in the Co‑Sale Notice. If the Co‑Sale Offeree(s) are unwilling or unable to acquire all Shares proposed to be included in such sale upon such terms, then ALRe may elect either to cancel such proposed sale or to allocate the maximum number of Shares that the Co‑Sale Offeree is willing to purchase among ALRe and the Class A Shareholders of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity giving timely Tag-Along Notices in proportion to each such Shareholder’s Pro Rata Amount in relation to the Pro Rata Amount of ALRe and all participating Class A Shareholders of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity; provided, that, in such circumstances, the amount of Shares set forth in each such Class A Shareholder’s Tag-Along Notices (and which shall be allocated to the prospective purchase as set forth above) shall be allocated proportionately between the Class A Common Shares of such Class A Shareholders to the extent possible.

(c) ALRe shall not Transfer any Shares to the Co‑Sale Offeree unless such Transfer complies with this Section 3.3 and is otherwise Transferred in accordance with this Agreement.

(d) In the event that the Transfer between ALRe and the Co‑Sale Offeree is not completed by the later of: (i) one hundred twenty (120) days following the delivery of the Co‑Sale Notice or, if required for such Transfer, one hundred twenty (120) days after the respective regulatory approval or regulatory clearance has been obtained or the respective regulatory waiting period has expired; and (ii) thirty (30) days following the satisfaction or waiver by the parties thereto of (A) all of the conditions set forth in the definitive documentation related to such Transfer (if applicable) and (B) if clause (A) does not apply, then all of the conditions identified in the Co‑Sale Notice, ALRe shall serve a new Co‑Sale Notice to the applicable ACRA Investment Entity and the applicable Class A Shareholders under Section 3.3(a) and permit the applicable Class A Shareholders to deliver a new Tag-Along Notice under Section 3.3(b) before completing the Transfer.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, ALRe shall not be required to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.3 with respect to any Shareholder or any limited partner of any Shareholder, Co-Investor or Feeder Fund who is a Co‑Sale Offeree to the extent such compliance (i.e., such Transfer pursuant to this Section 3.3) would require registration of such Transferred Shares, or subject any ACRA Investment Entity to ongoing reporting obligations, under the securities laws of any jurisdiction where any ACRA Investment Entity or ALRe would not otherwise be required to do so but for this Section 3.3, or would otherwise (i) subject any ACRA Investment Entity or ALRe to general taxation in a jurisdiction in which such ACRA Investment Entity or ALRe were not previously subject to taxation, (ii) cause ACRA (or any other relevant ACRA Investment Entity) to fail to qualify for the benefits of the Treaty or (iii) require any ACRA Investment Entity or ALRe to consent to general service of process in any jurisdiction where they are not currently subject to any such requirement.

(f) For purposes of this Section 3.3, “Third Party” shall not be deemed to include (i) any Person which has directly or indirectly invested in, or otherwise has ownership interests in, an investment fund managed or advised by Apollo Management Holdings, L.P. or its Affiliates, if the applicable Transfer is from such investment fund to such Person; or (ii) any directors, officers, employees or Affiliates of Apollo, Athene, the ACRA Investment Entities or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

3.4 Preemptive Rights

(a) If at any time from time to time (i) ACRA or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) any time after the formation of a New ACRA Investment Entity, such New ACRA Investment Entity or any of its Subsidiaries ((i) and (ii)), a “Preemptive Offeror”), proposes to offer New Securities to any Person after the date hereof (or, in the case of a New ACRA Investment Entity, after the date such New ACRA Investment Entity executes its Joinder Agreement), the Preemptive Offeror, as applicable, shall, prior to such offer, deliver to all Shareholders of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity an offer (the “Preemptive Offer”) for such Shareholders that are able to certify to the Preemptive Offeror, as the case may be, that they are “accredited investors” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 pursuant to the Securities Act) (the “Eligible Shareholders”), to purchase that number of New Securities in connection with such proposed offering of New Securities, so that each such Shareholder would, in the aggregate, after the issuance or sale of all of such New Securities in connection with the proposed offering, hold the same Pro Rata Amount of shares of the applicable Preemptive Offeror as was held by such Shareholder prior to such issuance and sale (or, in regard to the issuance and sale by a Subsidiary of a Preemptive Offeror, its Pro Rata Amount of such New Securities). Such issue shall be at the same price and the New Securities issued to each such Shareholder shall have no less favorable terms and conditions as are applicable to the New Securities received by all other purchasers of such New Securities. The Preemptive Offer shall state (A) that the applicable Preemptive Offeror proposes to issue New Securities, (B) the amount of New Securities to be issued, (C) the terms of the New Securities, (D) the purchase price of the New Securities, (E) the portion of the New Securities available for purchase by such Shareholder and (F) any other material terms of the proposed issuance. The Preemptive Offer shall remain open and irrevocable for a period of fifteen (15) business days (the “Preemptive Period”) from the date of its delivery.

(b) Each Eligible Shareholder may accept the Preemptive Offer by delivering to the Preemptive Offeror a written notice (the “Purchase Notice”) within the Preemptive Period. At the closing of the issuance of such New Securities, all of the parties to the transaction shall execute such customary documents as are otherwise necessary or appropriate to effect the transaction set forth in the Preemptive Offer. If after the Preemptive Period expires, the Preemptive Offeror proposes to offer New Securities to any Person on terms that differ from those set forth in the Preemptive Offer, the Preemptive Offeror or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall make a new Preemptive Offer setting forth such modified terms.

(c) The issuance of New Securities to the Eligible Shareholders who delivered a Purchase Notice shall be made on a business day, as designated by the Preemptive Offeror, not more than thirty (30) days after expiration of the Preemptive Period on those terms and conditions of the Preemptive Offer not inconsistent with this Section 3.4.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Preemptive Offeror may, in order to expedite the issuance of New Securities hereunder, issue all or a portion of such New Securities to one or more Persons (each, an “Initial Subscribing Shareholder”), without complying with the provisions of this Section 3.4; provided, that, prior to such issuance, either (i) each Initial Subscribing Shareholder agrees to offer to sell to each Eligible Shareholder who is not an Initial Subscribing Shareholder (each such Shareholder, an “Other Eligible Shareholder”) such Other Eligible Shareholder’s respective Pro Rata Amount (excluding for the purposes of this calculation Shares held by Shareholders who are not Eligible Shareholders) of such New Securities on the same terms and conditions as issued to the Initial Subscribing Shareholders and in a manner which provides such Other Eligible Shareholder with rights substantially similar to the rights outlined in Sections 3.4(a) through (c) above (with such differences limited to differences reasonably necessary to reflect differences in the nature of the transactions) or (ii) the Preemptive Offeror shall offer to sell an additional amount of New Securities to each Other Eligible Shareholder only in an amount and manner which provides such Other Eligible Shareholder with rights substantially the same as the rights outlined in Sections 3.4(a) through (c) (with such differences limited to differences reasonably necessary to reflect differences in the nature of the transactions). The Initial Subscribing Shareholders and the Preemptive Offeror, as applicable, shall offer to sell such New Securities to each Other Eligible Shareholder within the Preemptive Period. In the event New Securities are sold to an Initial Subscribing Shareholder pursuant to this Section 3.4(d), the Preemptive Offeror shall not, and shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to not, declare or pay any dividend or enter into an Approved Sale until the completion of any transaction entered into with each Other Eligible Shareholder pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, without the consent of such Other Eligible Shareholder.

(e) Each Eligible Shareholder who elects not to purchase all or any portion of the New Securities made available to such Eligible Shareholder pursuant to this Section 3.4 hereby waives any and all rights and claims it may have with respect to or arising out of the New Securities not purchased by such Eligible Shareholder and the issuance thereof against the Preemptive Offeror, any other Shareholder, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates.

(f) For purposes of this Section 3.4, each Eligible Shareholder may aggregate his, her or its Pro Rata Amount among other Shareholders of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity in his, her or its Group to the extent that other Shareholders of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity in his, her or its Group do not elect to purchase their respective Pro Rata Amounts.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Preemptive Offerors shall not be required to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.4 (i) to the extent such compliance (i.e., such issuance pursuant to this Section 3.4) would (A) require registration of any New Securities where the Preemptive Offeror would not otherwise be required to do so but for this Section 3.4, (B) subject the Preemptive Offeror to general taxation in a jurisdiction in which it was not previously subject to taxation, (C) cause ACRA (or any other relevant ACRA Investment Entity) to fail to qualify for the benefits of the Treaty or (D) require the Preemptive Offeror to consent to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to such requirement or (ii) in the case of New Securities that are being issued by a Preemptive Offeror solely to another Preemptive Offeror.

3.5 Approved Sale; Sale of an ACRA Investment Entity; Approved Reorganization

(a) If at any time (i) ALRe proposes (A) a Sale of an ACRA Investment Entity to any Third Party, ALRe shall be entitled to deliver notice to the applicable ACRA Investment Entity that ALRe desires such ACRA Investment Entity and/or the Shareholders of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity to enter into agreements with one or more Persons that would result in a Sale of an ACRA Investment Entity or (B) a Reorganization of an ACRA Investment Entity, and (ii) the applicable ACRA Board has approved such Sale of an ACRA Investment Entity or Reorganization of an ACRA Investment Entity (subject to fulfillment of the conditions set forth in clause (i) and (ii), such Sale of an ACRA Investment Entity, an “Approved Sale” and such Reorganization of an ACRA Investment Entity, an “Approved Reorganization”), all Shareholders hereby agree to consent to and raise no objection against, and hereby agree that the applicable ACRA Investment Entity shall consent to and raise no objections against, the Approved Sale or the Approved Reorganization, and if the Approved Sale or Approved Reorganization is structured as a sale, contribution and/or exchange or issuance of the capital stock of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity (whether by merger, recapitalization, consolidation, Transfer of Equity Securities, or otherwise, as applicable), and each Shareholder shall waive, and hereby waives, any dissenter’s rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such Approved Sale or Approved Reorganization and (1) in the case of an Approved Sale, each Shareholder shall agree, and hereby agrees, to Transfer his, her or its Shares on the terms and conditions approved by ALRe, and hereby waives preemptive or other similar rights with respect to any share issuance to be effected in connection therewith, and (2) in the case of an Approved Reorganization, each Shareholder shall agree, and hereby agrees, to contribute, exchange and/or otherwise Transfer his, her or its Shares on the terms and conditions approved by ALRe and/or consent to any other transaction constituting a Reorganization of an ACRA Investment Entity, and hereby waives preemptive or other similar rights with respect to any share issuance to be effected in connection therewith. All Shareholders of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity and the applicable ACRA Investment Entity shall take all necessary and desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale or Approved Reorganization, including the execution of such agreements and such instruments and other actions reasonably necessary to (I) provide the representations, warranties, indemnities, covenants, conditions, escrow agreements and other provisions and agreements relating to such Approved Sale or Approved Reorganization and (II) if applicable, to effectuate the allocation and distribution of the aggregate consideration upon any Approved Sale as set forth below; provided, that any Shareholders of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity (other than ALRe) shall only be required to provide representations as to their ownership of the Common Shares, the absence of liens

and encumbrances with respect to such Common Shares and their authority to enter into the Approved Sale and have it enforced; provided, further, that no Shareholder of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity (other than ALRe) shall be required to (x) indemnify or contribute for any amount in excess of the gross proceeds received by such Shareholder in connection with any such Approved Sale and/or any Approved Reorganization, (y) indemnify the acquirer for the misrepresentations of any other Shareholder or (z) agree to any restrictive covenants requiring it not to compete with the acquirer or the ACRA Investment Entities or any of their respective Subsidiaries. The Shareholders shall not be required to comply with, and shall have no rights under, Sections 3.1 through 3.4 in connection with an Approved Sale or Approved Reorganization.

(b) The applicable ACRA Investment Entity shall provide the Shareholders of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity with written notice of any Approved Sale or Approved Reorganization at least five (5) business days prior to the consummation thereof. Upon the consummation of the Approved Sale, each Shareholder of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity shall receive a portion of the aggregate consideration from such Approved Sale equal to the Pecuniary Value of the Shares sold by such Shareholders as part of such Approved Sale.

(c) The obligations of the Shareholders to participate in any Approved Sale pursuant to this Section 3.5 are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) if any Shareholders of a class of Shares are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received with respect to Shares in a class, all holders of Shares of such class will be given the same option; and

(ii) no Shareholder shall be obligated to pay more than his, her or its Pro Rata Amount of reasonable expenses incurred (based on the proportion of the aggregate transaction consideration received) in connection with a consummated Approved Sale, to the extent such expenses are incurred for the benefit of all Shareholders of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity and are not otherwise paid by the applicable ACRA Investment Entity or the acquiring party (with expenses incurred by or on behalf of a Shareholder for his, her or its sole benefit not being considered expenses incurred for the benefit of all Shareholders of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity).

(d) Each Shareholder of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity and the applicable ACRA Investment Entity hereby grants an irrevocable proxy and power of attorney to any nominee selected by a majority of all the outstanding Class B Common Shares (the “Nominee”) to take all necessary actions and execute and deliver all documents deemed necessary and appropriate by such Person to effectuate the consummation of any Approved Sale and/or any Approved Reorganization. The Shareholders of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity hereby indemnify, defend and hold the Nominee harmless (severally in accordance with their pro rata share of the consideration received in any such Approved Sale (and not jointly and severally)) against all liability, loss or damage, together with all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), relating to or arising from its exercise of the proxy and power of attorney granted hereby, except to the extent relating to or arising from such Nominee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, that the Nominee may not obligate any Shareholder to indemnify or contribute for any amount in excess of the gross proceeds received by such Shareholder in connection with any such Approved Sale and/or any Approved Reorganization. Copies of any documents executed by the Nominee on behalf of any Shareholder and the applicable ACRA Investment Entity pursuant to this Section 3.5(d) shall be provided to such Shareholder and the applicable ACRA Investment Entity, as applicable, in accordance with Section 4.6.

3.6 Information Rights; Covenants

(a) Financial Reports. Except as otherwise determined by each ACRA Board, each ACRA Investment Entity shall deliver (in English) to each of its Shareholders:

(i) within seventy five (75) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of each ACRA Investment Entity, beginning with the quarter following the quarter in which this Agreement is executed (or, with respect to a New ACRA Investment Entity, the quarter following the quarter in which such New ACRA Investment Entity executes a Joinder Agreement), (A) consolidated unaudited balance sheet and income statement of each ACRA Investment Entity, each prepared in accordance with GAAP, except that the financial statements may omit the notes thereto, for such fiscal quarter and (B) such inputs as are reasonably required for an embedded value report for such fiscal quarter;

(iii) to the extent the ACRA Investment Entities are required by law or pursuant to the terms of any outstanding indebtedness of the respective ACRA Investment Entity to prepare such reports, any annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports pursuant to applicable securities laws or exchange listing requirements, and if such reports are actually filed with or delivered to the applicable Governmental Authority or other party, as soon as practical.

All financial statements to be delivered under this Section 3.6(a) shall be presented in a format in accordance with the books and records of the ACRA Investment Entities and their Subsidiaries and shall have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, except as otherwise noted therein, and subject to the absence of footnotes and to year-end adjustments for unaudited financial statements.

(b) Additional Information. Each Party shall provide the other Parties, upon request, with any information reasonably requested by such other Parties for purposes of determining the tax consequences to such other Parties, any of their Affiliates, any of their direct or indirect owners or any direct or indirect ceding company with respect to any of the foregoing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) the amount of income (if any) of any ACRA Investment Entity (or any of its Affiliates) that constitutes “related person insurance income,” (ii) whether any ACRA Investment Entity (or any of its Affiliates) qualifies for any of the exceptions in section 953(c)(3) of the Code, (iii) whether any ACRA Investment Entity (or any of its Affiliates) is a “controlled foreign corporation” or a “passive foreign investment company” within the meaning of the Code, (iv) information necessary to make a “qualified electing fund” election with respect to any ACRA Investment Entity (or any Subsidiary thereof) that is a “passive foreign investment company,” within the meaning of the Code, (v) information necessary to comply tax reporting requirements, including under the rules applicable to “controlled foreign corporations” and “passive foreign investment companies,” or (vi) whether any person directly or indirectly making any payments to any ACRA Investment Entity (or any of its Affiliates) is subject to any tax under section 59A of the Code.

(c) Electronic Delivery. ACRA may establish a secure online dataroom on behalf of itself and/or any of the ACRA Investment Entities for the provision of information required under Sections 3.6(a) or 3.6(b) to Shareholders (including information related to the other ACRA Investment Entities), and access to such dataroom (including email notifications of the addition of a document to such dataroom) shall be provided to the person(s) designated by each Shareholder in writing. The inclusion of information in such dataroom or the filing or furnishing of any notices or reports in the manner required by any Applicable Law, or otherwise required by any securities exchange on which any ACRA Investment Entity’s securities are listed, that are publicly available shall be deemed to constitute delivery to the Shareholders of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity in compliance with Section 3.6(a) without any further action by ACRA or any of the other ACRA Investment Entities with respect to which such information relates.

(d) Confidentiality; Privilege. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ACRA Investment Entities are not required to provide any information or documents pursuant to this Section 3.6 if doing so would violate any confidentiality obligation or would waive or diminish any attorney work‑product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections.

(e) Feeder Fund Information. The Co-Investors shall provide ALRe with prompt written notice of: (i) any proposed amendments to (A) the limited partnership agreements of the Co-Investors and (B) the limited partnership agreements of the Feeder Funds, (ii) any side letters or other agreements proposed to be entered into between a Feeder Fund and a Limited Partner, including any proposed amendments to such side letter or other agreements, and (iii) any other actions proposed to be taken by any Co-Investor, Feeder Fund or Limited Partner that would reasonably be expected to have a material impact on the governance or operations of any ACRA Investment Entity.

3.7 Class A Common Share Preference and Class B Common Share Preference. In the event of a Liquidation, each Shareholder shall use his, her or its best efforts to ensure that the Class A Common Shares and Class B Common Shares receive (out of the proceeds of such Liquidation distributable to each ACRA Investment Entity’s equityholders) the full amount that they are entitled to receive in connection with the consummation at such time of a Liquidation for cash and the distribution of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the provisions of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity’s Bye-laws.

3.8 Agreement to Provide Certain Information; AEOI

(a) Each Shareholder agrees that upon request of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity, the Shareholder will provide to such ACRA Investment Entity any information requested that is necessary for such ACRA Investment Entity to prevent or reduce the rate of withholding on premiums or other payments it receives, to make payments to the Shareholder without or at a reduced rate of withholding, or to enable such ACRA Investment Entity (or any of its Subsidiaries) to satisfy any reporting or withholding requirements under the Code or other Applicable Law. Each Shareholder also agrees to provide, upon request by of the applicable ACRA Investment Entity, any certification or form required by law regarding such information that is requested by such ACRA Investment Entity, to the extent permissible to do so under Applicable Law. Each Shareholder acknowledges that such information may be required by law to be disclosed to taxing or Governmental Authorities or to Persons making payments to an ACRA Investment Entity (or any of its Subsidiaries), and each Shareholder hereby consents to such disclosure. Each Shareholder acknowledges that failure to provide the information requested by the applicable ACRA Investment Entity pursuant to this paragraph may result in withholding on payments made to the Shareholder consistent with Applicable Law.

(b) The U.S. tax provisions commonly known as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, the regulations (whether proposed, temporary or final), including any subsequent amendments, and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (or which may be promulgated in the future) and any applicable intergovernmental agreements in respect thereof (or any similar intergovernmental agreements which may be applicable to the ACRA Investment Entities or their Subsidiaries), including any implementing legislation, regulations and guidance promulgated (or which may be promulgated) thereunder and any subsequent amendments to any of the foregoing (“FATCA”) and similar withholding or information reporting provisions, including the “Common Reporting Standard” developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and any legislation, regulations, intergovernmental agreements and guidance in respect thereof (all such provisions, collectively with FATCA, the “AEOI Regimes”) impose or may impose a number of obligations on the ACRA Investment Entities or their Subsidiaries. In this regard:

(i) Each Shareholder acknowledges that, in order to comply with the provisions of the AEOI Regimes and avoid the imposition of U.S. federal withholding tax, the applicable ACRA Investment Entities may, from time to time and to the extent provided under the AEOI Regimes, (A) require further information and/or documentation from such Shareholder, which information and/or documentation may (1) include, but is not limited to, information and/or documentation relating to or concerning such Shareholder, the Shareholder’s direct and indirect beneficial owners (if any), and any such Person’s identity, residence (or jurisdiction of formation) and income tax status, and (2) need to be certified by such Shareholder under penalties of perjury, and (B) provide or disclose any such information and documentation to Governmental Authorities of the United States or other jurisdictions (including the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”)) and Persons from or through which the applicable ACRA Investment Entities or any of their Subsidiaries may receive payments or with which the ACRA Investment Entities or any of their Subsidiaries may have an account (within the meaning of the AEOI Regimes).

(ii) Each Shareholder agrees that it shall provide such information and/or documentation concerning itself and its direct and indirect beneficial owners (if any), as and when requested by any ACRA Investment Entity, as such ACRA Investment Entity, in its sole discretion, determines is necessary or advisable for such ACRA Investment Entity (or any of its Subsidiaries) to comply with its obligations under the AEOI Regimes, including, but not limited to, in connection with such ACRA Investment Entity or any of its Subsidiaries entering into or amending or modifying an FFI Agreement with the IRS and maintaining ongoing compliance with such agreement. Each Shareholder should consult its tax advisors as to the type of information that may be required from such Shareholder under this Section 3.8(b).

(iii) Consistent with the AEOI Regimes, each Shareholder agrees to waive any provision of law of any jurisdiction that would, absent a waiver, prevent the applicable ACRA Investment Entities’ (or any of their Subsidiaries’) compliance with their obligations under the AEOI Regimes, including under any FFI Agreement, and hereby consents to the disclosure by the applicable ACRA Investment Entities or any of their Subsidiaries of any information regarding such Shareholder (including information regarding its direct and indirect beneficial owners, if any) as such ACRA Investment Entities or their Subsidiaries determine is necessary or advisable to comply with the AEOI Regimes (including the terms of any FFI Agreement).

(iv) Each Shareholder acknowledges that if such Shareholder does not timely provide and/or update the requested information and/or documentation or waiver, as applicable (an “AEOI Compliance Failure”), the applicable ACRA Investment Entities may, in their sole and absolute discretion and in addition to all other remedies available at law, in equity or under this Agreement, cause such Shareholder to withdraw from the applicable ACRA Investment Entities in whole or in part.

(v) To the extent that the ACRA Investment Entities or any Affiliate thereof suffers any withholding taxes, interest, penalties or other expenses or costs on account of any Shareholder’s AEOI Compliance Failure, unless otherwise agreed by the applicable ACRA Investment Entity, (A) such Shareholder shall promptly pay upon demand by the applicable ACRA Investment Entity to such ACRA Investment Entity, or, at the applicable ACRA Investment Entity’s direction, to the relevant Subsidiary, an amount equal to such withholding taxes, interest, penalties and other expenses and costs, or (B) the applicable ACRA Investment Entity may reduce the amount of the next distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Shareholder or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, reduce the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Shareholder by an amount equal to such withholding taxes, interest, penalties and other expenses and costs; provided, that (1) if the amount of the next succeeding distribution or distributions or proceeds of liquidation is reduced, such amount shall include an amount to cover interest on the amount of such withholding taxes, interest, penalties and other expenses and costs at the lesser of (I) the rate of two percent (2%) per annum over the rate of interest announced publicly from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank in New York, New York as such bank’s prime rate, and (II) the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, and (2) should the applicable ACRA Investment Entity elect to so reduce such distributions or proceeds, the applicable ACRA Investment Entity shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify such Shareholder of its intention to do so. Whenever the ACRA Investment Entities make any such reduction of the proceeds payable to a Shareholder pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, for all other purposes such Shareholder may be treated as having received all distributions (whether before or upon liquidation) unreduced by the amount of such reduction. Unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable ACRA Investment Entity in writing, each Shareholder shall indemnify and hold harmless the ACRA Investment Entities and their Subsidiaries from and against any withholding taxes, interest, penalties or other expenses or costs with respect to such Shareholder’s AEOI Compliance Failure.

(vi) Each Shareholder acknowledges that each applicable ACRA Investment Entity (or the applicable Subsidiary thereof) will determine in its sole discretion how to comply with the AEOI Regimes.

(vii) Each Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no claim against the ACRA Boards or the ACRA Investment Entities (or their Subsidiaries) for any damages or liabilities attributable to any AEOI Regimes compliance-related determinations pursuant to Section 3.8(b)(vi).

3.9 Board of Directors

(a) Subject to Section 3.9(b), each Shareholder shall take all actions necessary or desirable, including voting all Shares held by such Shareholder, so that:

(i) the authorized number of Directors on each ACRA Board shall be eleven (11), with each ACRA Board having the authority to designate a Chairman (as defined below) and a Vice Chairman;

(iii) four (4) members of each ACRA Board shall be individuals nominated by the Co-Investors (through Apollo ADIP Advisors, L.P., (the “General Partner”) as general partner of the Co-Investors), at least two (2) of which shall be Independent Directors (the “ADIP Nominees”);

(iv) each ACRA Board shall be separated into three (3) classes, with each class serving a five (5) year term;

(vi) the Board, immediately following the effectiveness of this Agreement, shall be composed of the members set forth on Schedule B;

(b) Pursuant to the Twelfth Amended and Restated Bye-laws of Athene, any vote for the appointment, removal or remuneration of directors of a non-U.S. subsidiary of Athene must be referred to the shareholders of Athene. Following the expiration of each Director’s term, ALRe shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the board of directors of Athene to recommend that the shareholders of Athene vote in favor of the proposal to authorize the election or re-election of the Athene Nominees and the ADIP Nominees, as the case may be. Subject to Bye-law 43.2(c) of the ACRA Bye-laws, and any corresponding bye-law contained in each New ACRA Investment Entity Bye-laws, in the event that the shareholders of Athene vote against the proposal to authorize the election of any Athene Nominee or ADIP Nominee, the then-existing Directors shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such vacancy to be filled so that, (a) any vacant seat that had been filled by an Athene Nominee shall be filled by an individual selected by the remaining Directors that are Athene Nominees and (b) any vacant seat that had been filled by an ADIP Nominee shall be filled by an individual selected by the remaining Directors that are ADIP Nominees, such that the same proportion of Directors are Athene Nominees and ADIP Nominees as would be required pursuant to Section 3.9(a).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the applicable Bye-laws, each ACRA Board may approve a change in the number of Directors on the Board or on any Committee thereof; provided, that no change in the number of Directors that constitutes the entire ACRA Board or any Committee thereof of one ACRA Board may be made without making corresponding changes to the number of Directors or Committee members of each other ACRA Board; provided, further, that no change in the number of Directors

on the Board or any Committee thereof that would alter the proportion of ADIP Nominees as compared to Athene Nominees shall be permitted unless the applicable ACRA Board consults with and does not act contrary to the advice of the Class A Shareholders, received in writing, based on the affirmative vote of the advisory board of the Feeder Funds.

3.10 Acquisitions and Capitalization.

The ACRA Investment Entities agree that they will only deliver Call Notices and make Capital Calls (as each such term is defined in the Subscription Agreements) pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Master Agreement and the Fee and Capitalization Agreement.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if (A) during the Subscription Period, any Co-Investor delivers a Subscription Increase Notice to the ACRA Investment Entities in accordance with Section 1.1(b) of the ADIP Subscription Agreement or (B) upon an Investor Event of Default (as defined in the ADIP Subscription Agreement), each Co-Investor agrees to sell a portion of its Shares to the other Co-Investors as necessary, such that, following the adjustment of each Co-Investor’s Total Commitment or Capital Call pursuant to the Subscription Increase Notice or Section 3.6(c) of the ADIP Subscription Agreement, each Co-Investor holds the number of Shares of each ACRA Investment Entity in existence at such time and has contributed capital to the applicable ACRA Investment Entities equal to its pro rata portion of the Total Shares and the Total Commitment.

(ii) The sale and purchase of Shares pursuant to this Section 3.11(a) shall be made at the initial purchase price paid by the Co-Investors for such Shares plus a cost of carry equal to six percent (6%) (compounded annually) calculated from the Closing Date, unless there has been a material change or significant event relating to an ACRA Investment Entity that would, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, render it more appropriate to ascribe a different valuation to the cost of carry.

(iii) Immediately upon any Co-Investor’s delivery of a Subscription Increase Notice or upon an Investor Event of Default, as applicable, the General Partner shall cause the applicable Co-Investors to execute any Share transfer required under this Section 3.11(a), and immediately upon such transfer each applicable ACRA Investment Entity shall update Schedule A-1 and shall make any necessary updates to the applicable register of Shareholders pursuant to the applicable Bye-laws. In addition, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Exhibit A-1 to the ADIP Subscription Agreement shall automatically be amended and restated to reflect any adjustments next to each Co-Investor’s name as contemplated by this Section 3.11(a).

(b) Issuance of Additional Shares to ALRe.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at any time ACRA (or any other relevant ACRA Investment Entity) determines, in its sole discretion, that the ownership of Shares by any Co-Investor could cause ACRA (or such other relevant ACRA Investment Entity) to fail to qualify for the benefits of the Treaty at any time while this Agreement is in effect, the parties hereto agree that ALRe will be permitted to purchase from each applicable ACRA Investment Entity, and each applicable ACRA Investment Entity will be required to issue and sell new Shares to ALRe, in such amount as ACRA determines, in its sole discretion, is necessary or appropriate to ensure that, following the consummation of such purchase, sale and issuance, ACRA (and each other relevant ACRA Investment Entity) will continue to qualify for the benefits of the Treaty.

(ii) The purchase, sale and issuance of Shares pursuant to this Section 3.11(b) shall be made at the initial purchase price paid by the Co-Investors for Shares plus a cost of carry equal to six percent (6%) (compounded annually) calculated from the Closing Date, unless there has been a material change or significant event relating to an ACRA Investment Entity that would, in the sole discretion of ACRA, render it more appropriate to ascribe a different valuation to the cost of carry.

(iii) ACRA shall deliver notice to the Co-Investors and ALRe of any purchase, sale and issuance of Shares it determines is necessary or appropriate under this Section 3.11(b). Upon any issuance pursuant to this Section 3.11(b), each applicable ACRA Investment Entity shall update Schedule A-1 and Schedule A-2, and shall make any necessary updates to the applicable register of Shareholders pursuant to the applicable Bye-laws. In addition, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Exhibit A-1 to the Athene Subscription Agreement shall automatically be amended and restated to reflect any adjustments next to ALRe’s name as contemplated by this Section 3.11(b).

(iv) The specific timing of any purchase, sale and issuance made pursuant to this Section 3.11(b) shall be determined by ACRA in its sole discretion.

3.12 Treaty. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Shareholder may (i) sell, assign, pledge, mortgage, charge or otherwise transfer in any manner whatsoever all or any part of its ownership interest in any ACRA Investment Entity or (ii) permit any person to sell, assign, pledge, mortgage, charge or otherwise transfer in any manner whatsoever all or any part of its direct or indirect ownership interest in such Shareholder, if in either case, ACRA (or any other relevant ACRA Investment Entity) determines, in its sole discretion, that such sale, assignment, pledge mortgage, charge or other transfer could reasonably be expected to cause ACRA (or such other relevant ACRA Investment Entity) to fail to qualify for the benefits of the Treaty.

(c) Each Shareholder shall be permitted to disclose any Confidential Information in the event that such Shareholder is otherwise required by law, rule or regulation or receives a demand by any Governmental Authority or in connection with any legal proceedings (including pursuant to any special deposition, interrogation, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or arbitration). Each Shareholder agrees that it will immediately notify the ACRA Investment Entities in the event of any such disclosure (other than as a result of an examination by any regulatory agency), unless such notification shall be prohibited by Applicable Law or legal process and, to the extent permitted by law or regulation, reasonably cooperate with the applicable ACRA Investment Entity to obtain a protective order or other remedy or reasonable assurance that such Confidential Information will be afforded confidential treatment.

Subject to this Section 4.14, each Shareholder agrees that it will not convey any of the material non-public information it may receive by receiving Confidential Information to any other person that is not its Representative and that it or its Representatives will communicate such information within its respective firm(s) only on a need to know basis. Each Shareholder and its Representatives also agree to comply with Applicable Law in this regard.
