(ii) Subject to paragraph (b) below, an Och-Ziff Limited Partner may surrender Eligible Group P Units to the Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnerships in exchange for the delivery by the Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnerships of a number of Class A Shares equal to the product of such number of Eligible Group P Units surrendered multiplied by the Exchange Rate (such exchange, a “B Exchange”);

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1(a)(ii), the Board of Directors of the Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to cause the Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnerships to acquire some or all of the Eligible Group P Units surrendered for Exchange for cash (the “Cash Exchange,” and the number of such Eligible Group P Units to be so acquired for cash, expressed as a percentage of the total number of such Eligible Group P Units surrendered for Exchange, the “Applicable Percentage”). The amount of cash to be paid for the Cash Exchange (the “Cash Amount”) shall equal the Aggregate Value of such surrendered Eligible Group P Units multiplied by the Applicable Percentage. If the Board of Directors of the Issuer chooses to cause the Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnerships to acquire some or all of the surrendered Eligible Group P Units pursuant to this Section 2.1(b), the Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnerships shall give written notice thereof to such exchanging Och-Ziff Limited Partner on or before the close of business three days prior to Closing, and the number of Class A Shares to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii) hereof shall be correspondingly reduced.

(c) On the date Eligible Group P Units are surrendered for exchange, all rights of the exchanging Och-Ziff Limited Partner as holder of such Eligible Group P Units and the Designated Class B Shares shall be automatically cancelled as provided in Section 2.1(e), and such exchanging Och-Ziff Limited Partner shall be treated for all purposes as having become the Record Holder (as defined in the Issuer Operating Agreement) of the Class A Shares issued in exchange for such Eligible Group P Units and shall be admitted as a Member (as defined in the Issuer Operating Agreement) of the Issuer in accordance and upon compliance with Section 3.1 of the Issuer Operating Agreement.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, any Exchange shall be subject to the provisions of the Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnership Agreements including applicable vesting provisions.

(e) In the case of any Exchange, the Designated Class B Shares shall be automatically cancelled on the books and records of the Issuer and such Designated Class B Shares shall have no further rights or privileges and shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding limited liability company interests of the Issuer for any purpose from and after the Exchange Date. The term “Designated Class B Shares” means a number of Class B Shares equal to the Class B Exchange Amount identified and determined as follows:

(i) If the Exchanging Partner is a Class B Shareholder that, immediately prior to such Exchange, is the record owner of a number of Class B Shares at least equal to the Class B Exchange Amount, the portion of such Class B Shares equal to the Class B Exchange Amount shall constitute the Designated Class B Shares;

 

7

(ii) If the Exchanging Partner is a Class B Shareholder that, immediately prior to such Exchange, is the record owner of a number of Class B Shares that is less than the Class B Exchange Amount, all of such Class B Shares, together with other Class B Shares held by such Exchanging Partner’s Applicable Partner Group in an amount equal to the difference between the Class B Exchange Amount and the number of Class B Shares held by such Exchanging Partner shall constitute the Designated Class B Shares;

(i) Except as provided in this Section 2.2(a), no Och-Ziff Limited Partner shall be entitled to effect an Exchange at any time. In the event that an Exchange by any Och-Ziff Limited Partners is permitted pursuant to paragraphs (ii) or (iv) below, the Exchange Committee shall provide written notice thereof (an “Exchange Notification”) to each Och-Ziff Limited Partner that sets forth, as and if applicable, the applicable Established Exchange Date, the Maximum Participation Amount and the number of Eligible Group P Units that may be Exchanged by such Och-Ziff Limited Partner on such Established Exchange Date. Any such Exchange Notification shall be delivered at least 20 Business Days prior to any such Established Exchange Date, unless the Issuer consents to a shorter period. An Established Exchange Date must be a Business Day that is expected to occur during an Open Window.

(ii) If the Exchange Committee permits any Exchange in connection with a Tag-Along Sale, Drag-Along Sale or Class P Liquidity Event (as such terms are defined in the Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnership Agreements), the Exchange Committee shall establish an Established Exchange Date and all Och-Ziff Operating Group P Units that are eligible to participate in such Tag-Along Sale, Drag-Along Sale or Class P Liquidity Event in accordance with the terms of the Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnership Agreements and any applicable Partner Agreements shall be treated the same as Eligible Group P Units for all purposes of this Agreement and the relevant Och-Ziff Limited Partners shall be permitted to Exchange on such Established Exchange Date.

(iii) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, for each fiscal quarter during which any Eligible Group P Units are outstanding as of the first day of such fiscal quarter, the Exchange Committee shall set one Quarterly Exchange Date in accordance with the Exchange Procedures in accordance with this paragraph (iii). Subject to the terms of any applicable Partner Agreement and the following provisions of this paragraph (iii), each Och-Ziff Limited Partner may Exchange on any Quarterly Exchange Date any number of Eligible Group P Units as long as the Aggregate Value of Eligible Group P Units proposed to be Exchanged by the Och-Ziff Limited Partners on such Quarterly Exchange Date is equal to at least $1,000,000 (or such smaller amount determined by the Exchange Committee in its sole discretion), or each Och-Ziff Limited Partner electing to Exchange Eligible Group P Units is Exchanging all of such Och-Ziff Limited Partner’s Eligible Group P Units.

During a Suspension Event, Eligible Group P Units shall be Exchanged on the applicable Quarterly Exchange Date to the extent of Available Cash (in amounts of no less than $1,000,000 (or such smaller amount determined by the Exchange Committee in its sole discretion)). Each Och-Ziff Limited Partner shall participate pro rata in such Exchange based on its respective Requested Exchange Amount. Any Delayed Eligible Group P Units not Exchanged on the applicable Quarterly Exchange Date shall be Exchanged in accordance with paragraph (iv) below and, notwithstanding the terms of the Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnership Agreements or any applicable Partner Agreements to the contrary, such Delayed Eligible Group P Units: (i) shall not be forfeitable on or after such Quarterly Exchange Date for any reason, except to the extent that Class A Shares issuable hereunder upon Exchange of such Delayed Eligible Group P Units (or any proceeds or distributions receivable by the Limited Partner in respect of any such Class A Shares) remain subject to forfeiture under the Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnership Agreements or any applicable Partner Agreements, and (ii) shall otherwise be treated as if they had already been Exchanged for purposes of the vesting, forfeiture, reallocation or Withdrawal provisions of the Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnership Agreements and any such Partner Agreements.

(iv) Following the determination of any Suspension Event, if the Och-Ziff General Partners have determined that: (A) the Suspension Event has ended, or (B) there is at least $1,000,000 of Available Cash (or such smaller amount determined by the Exchange Committee in its sole discretion), the Exchange Committee shall promptly establish an Established Exchange Date and determine the maximum number of Delayed Eligible Group P Units that may be Exchanged on such Established Exchange Date (the “Maximum Participation Amount”); provided that each Och-Ziff Limited Partner that holds any Delayed Eligible Group P Units shall Exchange its pro rata share of the Maximum Participation Amount (based on

 

9

the number of Delayed Eligible Group P Units held by each Och-Ziff Limited Partner). The Exchange Committee shall continue establishing Established Exchange Dates in accordance with this paragraph (iv) until all Delayed Eligible Group P Units have been Exchanged, with each successive Established Exchange Date to be established as soon as reasonably practicable following the prior Established Exchange Date (and in so doing shall take into account the anticipated timing and amounts of Available Cash from time to time).

(b)

(i) With respect to Exchanges under Section 2.2(a)(i), upon receipt of an Exchange Notification, an Och-Ziff Limited Partner may exercise its right to exchange Eligible Group P Units as set forth in Section 2.1(a) by providing a written notice of exchange (an “Exchange Exercise Notice”) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the applicable Established Exchange Date and in accordance with the applicable Exchange Procedures.

(iv) As promptly as practicable following the surrender of Eligible Group P Units upon an Exchange in the manner provided in this Article II, the Issuer, in the case of an A Exchange, or the Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnerships, in the case of a B Exchange, shall deliver or cause to be delivered at the principal executive offices of the Issuer or at the office of the Transfer Agent the number of Class A Shares issuable upon such Exchange, issued in the name of such exchanging Och-Ziff Limited Partner, and/or the applicable Cash Amount, if any.

(c) The Issuer, in the case of an A Exchange, or the Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnerships, in the case of a B Exchange, may adopt reasonable procedures for the implementation of the exchange provisions set forth in this Article II.

The Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnerships shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of such financial advisor. The parties agree, however, that in the event that the Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnerships have received a valuation or an opinion from a financial advisor of national reputation regarding such relative values, and each of the Och-Ziff General Partners determines in its good faith judgment that no material change has occurred since the date of such valuation or opinion, or is expected to occur prior to Closing, with respect to the Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnerships, the Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnerships may elect to use such valuation or opinion for purposes of this Section 2.4 and the parties hereto agree to be bound by such valuation or opinion, including, without limitation, for tax reporting purposes.

The Och-Ziff General Partners, in their sole and absolute discretion, shall be permitted to establish revised exchange procedures they determine are necessary or appropriate to ensure that each of the Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnerships will not be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(b) If at any time after delivery of an Exchange Exercise Notice with respect to a proposed Exchange and prior to the Closing of such Exchange, the Issuer determines that (i) any Delayed Eligible Group P Units will not be Exchanged on such Exchange Date due to a Suspension Event as provided in Section 2.2(a)(iii), or (ii) the Exchange Date will be delayed, suspended or terminated in accordance with Section 2.5(a), (b) or (c) (any such event, or a Suspension Event, a “Delay Event”), the Issuer shall promptly notify each Och-Ziff Limited Partner that has delivered an Exchange Exercise Notice in connection with such proposed Exchange of such Delay Event (an “Issuer Delay Notice”). The Issuer Delay Notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the events giving rise to the Delay Event, the anticipated duration of such Delay Event and, if reasonably determinable in light of the facts and circumstances surrounding such Delay Event, a revised proposed Exchange Date and Closing Date. In the event the Issuer Delay Notice does not include a revised proposed Exchange Date and Closing Date, the Issuer shall promptly notify each recipient of the revised proposed Exchange Date and Closing Date when such dates become reasonably determinable.

(c) Each party hereto shall bear his own expenses in connection with the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether or not any such transaction is ultimately consummated.

Section 2.7 Blackout Periods. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Och-Ziff Limited Partner shall not be entitled to effect an Exchange, and the Issuer, in the case of an A Exchange, or the Och-Ziff General Partners, in the case of a B Exchange, shall have the right to delay or suspend any Exchange Date or Closing Date (whether such Exchange will result in the issuance of Class A Shares or the payment of a Cash Amount) that occurs during a period that is not an Open Window and, if the Issuer is in possession of material non-public information, the Issuer has determined in good faith that the disclosure of such information would not be in the best interests of the Issuer (collectively, a “Blackout Period”) unless such Exchange is otherwise permitted in accordance with the Exchange Procedures. A Blackout Period in which the Issuer is in possession of material non-public information shall expire on the date on which the Issuer determines that there is no such material non-public information.

Section 2.8 Splits, Distributions and Reclassifications. The Exchange Rate shall be adjusted accordingly if there is: (1) any subdivision (by split, distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Och-Ziff Operating Group P Units that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Class A Shares; or (2) any subdivision (by split, distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Class A Shares that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Och-Ziff Operating Group P Units. In the event of a reclassification or other similar transaction as a result of which the Class A Shares are converted into another security, then an Och-Ziff Limited Partner shall be entitled to receive upon exchange the amount of such security that such Och-Ziff Limited Partner would have received if such exchange had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of such reclassification or other similar transaction. Except as may be required in the immediately preceding sentence, no adjustments in respect of distributions shall be made upon an Exchange.

 

13

Section 2.9 Taxes. The delivery of Class A Shares upon an Exchange shall be made without charge to the Och-Ziff Limited Partners for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance.

Section 2.10 Call Right. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Och-Ziff Corp shall have the right (the “Call Right”), but not the obligation, to assume OZ Advisors II’s obligations to effect an Exchange at any particular Closing with respect to Och-Ziff Operating Group P Units issued by OZ Advisors II. Och-Ziff Corp may exercise the Call Right by giving written notice to such effect to OZ Advisors II prior to such Closing.

Section 2.11 Cancellation of Och-Ziff Operating Group P Units. If the Och-Ziff Operating Group P Units of any Och-Ziff Limited Partner are cancelled for any reason, then (i) if the Och-Ziff Limited Partner is also a Class B Shareholder, an equal number of Class B Shares of such Och-Ziff Limited Partner shall be cancelled in accordance with this Section 2.11 and (ii) if the Och-Ziff Limited Partner is a Related Trust of a Class B Shareholder, an equal number of Class B Shares of such Class B Shareholder shall be cancelled in accordance with this Section 2.11. Any Class B Shares to be cancelled in accordance with the foregoing sentence shall automatically be cancelled on the books and records of the Issuer and such Class B Shares shall have no further rights or privileges and shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding limited liability company interests of the Issuer for any purpose from and after the date of cancellation of the corresponding Och-Ziff Operating Group P Units.

ARTICLE III

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 3.1 Amendment.

(a) Subject to Section 3.1(c), no provision of this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is approved in writing by the Issuer, Och-Ziff Corp, Och-Ziff Holding, and the Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnerships; and by the Och-Ziff Limited Partners who, together with their Permitted Transferees, collectively hold at least fifty percent of the Och-Ziff Operating Group P Units collectively held by all of the Och-Ziff Limited Partners and their respective Permitted Transferees; provided, that no such amendment shall be effective if such amendment will have a disproportionate effect on certain Och-Ziff Limited Partners unless all such Och-Ziff Limited Partners disproportionately affected consent in writing to such amendment and provided, further, that no such amendment shall impair or diminish the rights of the Exchange Committee, unless approved by the Exchange Committee. No provision of this Agreement may be waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No voting rights, consent rights or similar rights of an Och-Ziff Limited Partner under any provision of this Agreement (“Consent Rights”) shall be exercisable by any Och-Ziff Limited Partner that is a Related Trust of an Individual Limited Partner (as defined in the Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnership Agreements) and any such Consent Rights shall instead be exercisable by such Individual Limited Partner on behalf of such Related Trust and, for purposes of this Agreement, the Och-Ziff Operating Group P Units of an Och-Ziff Limited Partner that is a Related

 

14

Trust of such Individual Limited Partner shall be treated as being owned by such Individual Limited Partner. No Och-Ziff Limited Partner other than an Active Individual LP (as defined in the Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnership Agreements) shall have the right to exercise any Consent Rights, and the Och-Ziff Operating Group P Units of any Individual Limited Partner that is not an Active Individual LP, and those of any Related Trusts of such Individual Limited Partner, shall be disregarded when making calculations relating to the relevant thresholds relating to the exercise of Consent Rights under this Agreement; provided, however, that so long as such Individual Limited Partner who is not an Active Individual Partner has not forfeited or exchanged or otherwise disposed of at least 50% of the aggregate number of Och-Ziff Operating Group P Units granted to such Individual Limited Partner, no amendment to this Agreement may materially and adversely affect the economic terms of such Individual Limited Partner’s Och-Ziff Operating Group P Units in a manner that is disproportionate to the effect on the economic terms of other Och-Ziff Operating Group P Units without the prior written consent of such Individual Limited Partner.

(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

(c) The Exchange Committee, the Issuer, Och-Ziff Corp and Och-Ziff Holding may, on behalf of themselves and the respective partnerships they control, amend this Agreement in writing without the approval or consent of any Och-Ziff Limited Partner or Permitted Transferees if such amendment does not materially and adversely affect any Och-Ziff Limited Partner’s Exchange Right.

(d) Each Och-Ziff Limited Partner hereby expressly consents and agrees that, whenever in this Agreement it is specified that an action may be taken upon the affirmative vote or written consent of less than all of the Och-Ziff Limited Partners, such action may be so taken upon the concurrence of less than all of the Och-Ziff Limited Partners and each Och-Ziff Limited Partner shall be bound by the results of such action.

(e) This Agreement may be amended in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.1 without the consent of any Class B Shareholder (in its capacity as such).

Section 3.2 Addresses and Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given (and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt) by delivery in person, by courier service, by fax, by electronic mail (delivery receipt requested) or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be as specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 3.2):

Upon execution of any such joinder, such Person shall be entitled to all of the rights and shall be bound by each of the obligations applicable to the relevant transferor hereunder.

(b) Each of the Issuer, Och-Ziff Corp and Och-Ziff Holding hereby agree that if any other Person subsequently becomes an Och-Ziff General Partner or Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnership, as applicable, it will cause such Person to execute a joinder to this Agreement and become an “Och-Ziff General Partner” or an “Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnership” for all purposes of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be amended to the extent necessary to reflect such joinder.

 

16

Section 3.6 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon a determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 3.7 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 3.8 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 3.9 Submission to Jurisdiction; Dispute Resolution. Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally, with respect to any matter or dispute arising under, or in connection with, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (i) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate courts thereof (the “New York Courts”) (and covenants not to commence any legal action or proceeding in any other venue or jurisdiction); (ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; (iii) agrees that service of process in any such action will be in accordance with the laws of the State of New York but that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; (iv) waives any and all immunity from suit, execution, attachment or other legal process; and (v) waives in connection with any such action any and all rights to a jury trial. The parties agree that any judgment of any New York Court may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction over any party of any of their assets.

Section 3.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Copies of executed counterparts transmitted by telecopy or other electronic transmission service shall be considered original executed counterparts for purposes of this Section 3.10.

 

17

Section 3.11 Tax Treatment. To the extent this Agreement imposes obligations upon a particular Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnership or a general partner of an Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnership, this Agreement shall be treated as part of the relevant Och-Ziff Operating Group Partnership Agreement as described in Section 761(c) of the Code and Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(h) and 1.761-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations.
