For the avoidance of doubt, a Limited Partner’s, Phantom Unit Holder’s or Performance Unit Holder’s failure to duly execute and deliver any Required Deliverables prior to the Closing shall only result in the effects set forth in this Section 2.3(e), and shall not prevent the occurrence of the Closing. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Parties shall be liable to any current or former Limited Partner, Phantom Unit Holder or Performance Unit Holder with respect to any amounts properly delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property Law.

Section 2.4 Closing Consideration Statement.

Section 2.5 Incentive Earnout.

(a) During the period (i) in the case of the Earnout Election Period for the Earnout Measurement Period ended December 31, 2025, beginning on the date hereof and ending on a date determined by the Partner Representative that shall be no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (the “2026 Earnout Election Period”), and (ii) in the case of each subsequent Earnout Election Period beginning January 1, 2027 and ending on the later of (x) sixty (60) days thereafter and (y) fifteen (15) days following the final determination of the Earnout Amount Per Unit pursuant to this Section 2.5 as repeated for each calendar year thereafter until through and including the period for 2031 (each, an “Earnout Election Period”), each OCGH Limited Partner, OCGH Phantom Unit Holder, Performance Unit Holder and OEP II Limited Partner holding Participating OEP II Units (collectively, the “Earnout Holders” and each, an “Earnout Holder”) shall have the right to make a one-time election to receive the applicable Earnout Amount Per Unit (if any) in respect of (v) each vested OCGH Unit that was held by such Earnout Holder as of immediately prior to the Closing, (w) subject to vesting in accordance with the last sentence of this Section 2.5(a), each unvested OCGH Unit that was held by such Earnout Holder as of immediately prior to the Closing, (x) subject to vesting in accordance with the last sentence of this Section 2.5(a), each Performance Unit that was held by such Earnout Holder as of immediately prior to the Closing, (y) each OCGH Phantom Unit that was held by such Earnout Holder as of immediately prior to the Closing and (z) each Participating OEP II Unit held by such Earnout Holder as of immediately prior to the Closing ((v), (w), (x), (y) and (z), together, such Earnout Holder’s “Applicable Earnout Units”), in each case, with respect to the three (3) consecutive fiscal years ending immediately prior to the Earnout Election Period in which such Earnout Holder exercises such right (its “Earnout Election Right”, and such period, the “Earnout Measurement Period”) by submitting an irrevocable election form to the Partner Representative in form and substance mutually agreed by the Partner Representative and Acquiror (an “Election Notice”) during the applicable Earnout Election Period; provided, that if an Earnout Holder does not exercise its Earnout Election Right prior to the end of the final Earnout Election Period in 2031, it shall automatically be deemed to have elected its Earnout Election Right with respect to the final Earnout Election Period in 2031; and provided, further, that the Partner Representative may require the Earnout Holders to make such election on the basis of the initial Earnout Amount Calculation proposed by Acquiror. For the

avoidance of doubt, an Earnout Holder shall only have the right to exercise its Earnout Election Right and receive the corresponding Earnout Amount Per Unit with respect to its Applicable Earnout Units one time. An Earnout Holder’s right to receive the applicable Earnout Amount Per Unit (if any) with respect to any unvested Applicable Earnout Unit shall be subject to vesting in accordance with the same remaining vesting schedule (and forfeiture terms and conditions) that applied to such Applicable Earnout Unit as of immediately prior to the Closing, as set forth on Schedule 2.5(a). For the avoidance of doubt, an unvested Performance Unit shall be considered to have vested for purposes of being eligible to receive the applicable Earnout Amount Per Unit (if any) with respect to such unvested Performance Unit only upon the satisfaction of both the performance vesting condition applicable to such Performance Unit and the time-based vesting condition that follows the satisfaction of such performance vesting condition. Upon vesting of a previously unvested Applicable Earnout Unit, such Earnout Holder will be entitled to receive the same Earnout Amount Per Unit such Earnout Holder received with respect to its other vested Applicable Earnout Units (i.e. calculated based on the Earnout Measurement Period applicable at the time such Earnout Holder made its one-time election to exercise its Earnout Election Right).

(b) No later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the conclusion of each Earnout Election Period (which, in the case of the 2026 Earnout Election Period, shall be no later than 10 Business Days prior to the Closing Date), the Partner Representative shall deliver written notice to Acquiror or its designee (an “Aggregate Earnout Notice”) specifying the name of each Earnout Holder exercising its Earnout Election Right in such Earnout Election Period, together with copies of the Earnout Notices delivered by such Earnout Holders.

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than seventy five (75) days following the end of each calendar year (beginning with the year ended December 31, 2026), Acquiror shall deliver to the Partner Representative the consolidated audited financial statements of the OpCos prepared in accordance with GAAP, a calculation of each component of the Earnout Amount Per Unit for the immediately preceding Earnout Measurement Period and a bridge to GAAP for such components of the Earnout Amount Calculation that are non-GAAP, together with all of the components thereto (including all of the components of Total Incentives Equity Value), together with all reasonable supporting documentation (the “Earnout Amount Calculation”). The Acquiror, Company Group Entities and their respective representatives shall make available or cause to be made available to the Partner Representative and its representatives all work papers and other books and records used in preparing the Earnout Amount Calculation and provide reasonable access to members of its accounting and financial staff and outside auditors in connection with the Partner Representative’s review thereof; provided, however, that the accountants of the OpCos shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to the Partner Representative except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after the Partner Representative has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants.

(d) The Partner Representative shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of the Earnout Amount Calculation to notify the Acquiror in writing (a “Dispute Notice”) of any dispute of any item, calculation or other matter contained in the Earnout Amount Calculation,

including in the event that insufficient supporting documentation was delivered to the Partner Representative, which Dispute Notice shall set forth a description of the items, calculations or matter disputed. If the Partner Representative delivers a Dispute Notice during such thirty (30) day period, then the items, calculations and other matters that are specified in such Dispute Notice shall be deemed in dispute and all other items, calculations and matters set forth in the Earnout Amount Calculation shall be final and binding. If the Partner Representative fails to deliver a Dispute Notice to the Acquiror within such thirty (30) day period or if the Partner Representative at any time during such thirty (30) day period notifies the Acquiror in writing that the Partner Representative agrees with the Earnout Amount Calculation in its entirety (or any particular items, calculations or matters set forth in the Earnout Amount Calculation), then the Earnout Amount Calculation (or such item, calculation or matter, as applicable) shall become final and binding. For the avoidance of doubt, no Dispute Notice may be delivered with respect to (i) the Earnout Amount Per Unit for the Earnout Measurement Period ending December 31, 2025 (which amount shall be calculated and mutually agreed to by the Partner Representative and Acquiror prior to the Closing) or (ii) the calculation of Net Incentives Created for any of the fiscal years that are included in the Earnout Measurement Period ending December 31, 2025 (i.e. 2023, 2024 and 2025) or that are included in any subsequent Earnout Measurement Period that becomes final and binding in accordance with the procedures of this Section 2.5 (for e.g., upon finalizing the Earnout Amount Calculation for the Earnout Measurement Period ending December 31, 2026, the Net Incentives Created for 2026 as finally determined for such period shall not be the subject of any Dispute Notice for the Earnout Measurement Period ending December 31, 2027).

(e) In the event that the Partner Representative delivers a Dispute Notice, then the Partner Representative and the Acquiror shall work in good faith to resolve the Partner Representative’s objections set forth therein and the calculation of the Earnout Amount Per Unit. In the event the Partner Representative and the Acquiror fail to agree on the Earnout Amount Per Unit within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Dispute Notice, then the applicable disputed items shall be promptly referred for valuation to a nationally recognized valuation firm (which may be the valuation practice of a nationally-recognized investment bank or accounting firm) with experience valuating asset management firms (the “Valuation Firm”) which shall determine, no later than ninety (90) days following the expiration of the applicable Earnout Election Period, the computation of the items remaining in dispute and the resulting calculation of the Earnout Amount Per Unit, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In resolving any disputed item, the Valuation Firm (i) shall be bound by the Historic Principles and the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party and (iii) shall take into account only the Dispute Notice and the information and documents provided to the Valuation Firm by or on behalf of the Partner Representative or the Acquiror (i.e., not on the basis of independent review). The Valuation Firm shall consider only the disputed matters that were included in the Dispute Notice and that the Partner Representative and the Acquiror were unable to resolve. Neither the Partner Representative nor the Acquiror shall meet or have any conversations separately with the Valuation Firm (other than conversations limited to the submission of a request for documents or information by the Valuation Firm to such party) without the other party’s prior written consent. Each of the Partner Representative

and the Acquiror may also furnish to the Valuation Firm such other information and documents as it deems relevant or such information and documents as may be requested by the Valuation Firm; provided, that it delivers a copy thereof substantially simultaneously to the other party. The aggregate fees, costs and expenses of the Valuation Firm shall be borne by the Acquiror Parties, on the one hand, and the Participating Holders, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Valuation Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in Dispute Notice (provided that each party will bear their own legal fees with respect to any of the matters pursuant to this Section 2.5 and the aggregate amount borne by the Participating Holders shall be capped at the aggregate amount for such period they are due to receive in accordance with the finally determined Earnout Amount Calculation, with the remainder of such costs being borne by the Company Group Entities) (For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Valuation Firm determines $600 in favor of Acquiror’s position, 60% of the costs of its review would be borne by the Participating Holders, and 40% of the costs would be borne by the Acquiror Parties). The proportional amount borne by the Participating Holders for each Applicable Earnout Unit shall be deducted from the Earnout Amount Per Unit. During the review by the Valuation Firm, each party agrees that it will, and agrees to direct its independent accountants to, reasonably cooperate and assist in the calculation of the Earnout Amount Calculation and in the conduct of the review by the Valuation Firm of any proposed calculations of the Earnout Amount Calculation or the components thereof, including the Total Incentives Equity Value, and the making reasonably available to the extent necessary, of books, records, work papers and personnel; provided, however, that the accountants of the Company Group Entities, the Acquiror and the Partner Representative shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to the Valuation Firm except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after such firm has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants. The Earnout Amount Calculation as determined by the Valuation Firm shall be final and binding on the parties hereto absent manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt, any disputes with respect to the Earnout Amount Calculation shall be resolved pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.5, to the exclusion of any other dispute resolution mechanism provided in this Agreement, including Section 10.12. The Acquiror and the Partner Representative shall mutually agree on a Valuation Firm or absent such agreement, the Valuation Firm shall be selected through arbitration pursuant to Section 10.12. It is further understood and agreed that the Acquiror shall cause the Company Group Entities to comply with their obligations under this Agreement.

(f) In the event that one or more Earnout Holders duly exercises its Earnout Election Right with respect to a particular Earnout Election Period (each, a “Participating Holder”) and the Earnout Amount Per Unit for such Earnout Election Period as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.5 and following any applicable deduction pursuant to Section 2.5(e) is greater than $0, then following such final determination, Acquiror shall:

(i) with respect to each Applicable Earnout Unit of such Participating Holders that vests prior to the end of such Earnout Election Period, as promptly as practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the date of such final determination; provided, that in the case of the 2026 Earnout Election Period, such payment shall be made by

the later of (x) fifteen (15) Business Days after the Partner Representative delivers the Aggregate Earnout Notice for the 2026 Earnout Election Period and (y) the Closing Date, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Participating Holder an amount in cash equal to the Earnout Amount Per Unit in respect of such Applicable Earnout Unit, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by such Participating Holder in writing; and

(ii) with respect to each Applicable Earnout Unit that vests following the end of such Earnout Election Period, as promptly as practicable following the date such Applicable Earnout Unit vests (and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereof; provided, that in no event shall any such payment be made earlier than the Closing), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Participating Holder an amount in cash equal to the Earnout Amount Per Unit in respect of such Applicable Earnout Unit, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by such Participating Holder in writing (and for the avoidance of doubt, the Earnout Amount Per Unit with respect to any Applicable Earnout Unit that is forfeited shall also be forfeited).

(g) Each of the Acquiror Parties covenants and agrees that it shall, and shall cause the Company Group Entities to, maintain adequate books of account and all other records relating to or reflecting the operation of the business of the Company Group Entities during the Earnout Measurement Period in a manner consistent with past practice in order to facilitate the determination of the Final Earnout Amount pursuant to this Section 2.5.

(h) In the event that there occurs a completed disposition that would, on a pro forma basis, reduce Net Incentives Created, the Partner Representative and Acquiror agree to negotiate in good faith to adjust the Total Incentives Equity Value and the components thereof, and/or the Net Incentives Created Target, as applied to any period of time following such disposition so that the Earnout Amount Per Unit is not adversely affected for the Earnout Holders.

(i) The following terms, whenever used in this Section 2.5, shall have the following meanings for all purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “2018 10-K” means Oaktree Capital Group, LLC’s Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2018.

(ii) “Base Fee Earnings” has the meaning set forth in the OCGH Exchange Agreement.

(iii) “BWS Group Member” means (i) Brookfield Wealth Solutions Ltd. (collectively with its affiliates, “Brookfield Wealth Solutions”) and (ii) any investment funds, accounts or vehicles controlled or managed by Brookfield Asset Management Reinsurance Advisor LLC or Brookfield Wealth Solutions. For the avoidance of doubt, references in this Agreement to affiliates of Brookfield Wealth Solutions do not include any Brookfield Group Member.

(iv) “Brookfield Group” means BN, BAM and their respective Affiliates (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Partnerships).

(v) “Brookfield Group Member” means any member of the Brookfield Group.

(vi) “Brookfield Net Incentives Portion” means the percentage of Aggregate Incentives Created included in the calculation of Net Incentives Created for any fiscal year that are attributable, either directly or indirectly, to any BWS Group Member, as a result of an investment (i) made by or on behalf of any BWS Group Member or (ii) by any Fund or similar investment vehicle that is managed or controlled by any BWS Group Member. For illustrative purposes only, if the total Aggregate Incentives Created for a particular fiscal year was $1,200, and the portion of such fees attributable to BWS Group Members was $60, then the Brookfield Net Incentives Portion would be 5%. For the avoidance of doubt, the Brookfield Net Incentives Portion may be a negative number.

(vii) “Brookfield Proportionate Reduction” means an amount equal to the product of (i) the total Net Incentives Created (without regard, for the avoidance of doubt, to clause (y) in the last sentence of such definition) less the Investment Net Incentives Created for the applicable fiscal year multiplied by (ii) 50% of the Brookfield Net Incentives Portion for such period. For illustrative purposes only, if the total Net Incentives Created for a fiscal year, without giving effect to clause (y) in the last sentence of the definition of Net Incentives Created, was $400, Investment Net Incentives Created for a fiscal year was $40 and the Brookfield Net Incentives Portion for such period was 5%, then the Brookfield Proportionate Reduction would be $9 (calculated as $(400-40) x (0.5 x 5%)) and Net Incentives Created would be $391.

(viii) “Earnout Amount Per Unit” means, with respect to an applicable Earnout Measurement Period, a value per OCGH Unit calculated as (a) Total Incentives Equity Value divided by F minus (b) the Net Incentives Created Target; provided, that (A) if the resulting Earnout Amount Per Unit is negative, the Earnout Amount Per Unit for such Earnout Measurement Period shall be deemed to be $0; (B) the Earnout Amount Per Unit for the Earnout Measurement Period ended on December 31, 2025 shall be mutually agreed by the Partner Representative and Acquiror, and (C) “F” means the amount set forth on Annex VI.

(ix) “Earnout Fund” means each Fund listed on Schedule 2.5(i)(ix).

(x) “Fund” means any limited partnership, limited liability company, group trust, mutual fund, investment company or other entity (including any collateralized loan obligation vehicle or business development company), or any investment account.

(xi) “GAAP” means, solely for purposes of this Section 2.5, generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time in the United States of America, except any requirement for the consolidation of investment funds or CLOs advised or managed by the OpCos and other entities that may be required by FASB ASC 810-20 or similar and subsequent authoritative accounting pronouncements.

(xii) “Historic Principles” means the accounting principles used in preparation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financials set forth in the 2018 10-K. Unless otherwise agreed by the Partner Representative and the Acquiror, changes in accounting principles after December 31, 2018 shall be disregarded when calculating any financial results, balance sheet items or other financial metrics that are expressly required to be calculated using Historic Principles (e.g., a change in accounting principles that would require an operating lease to be reclassified as a capital lease).

(xiii) “Net Incentives Created” means, for any fiscal year, without duplication and calculated, where applicable, using the Historic Principles in a manner consistent with the line item entitled “Incentives created (fund level), net of associated incentive income compensation expense” set forth on page 91 of the 2018 10-K, (i) the aggregate of any “carried interest,” “incentive allocation,” “performance allocation,” “performance fees” (other than Specified Performance Fees) or similar items of gain or loss generated (directly or indirectly) by any Earnout Fund based on mark-to-market performance during such fiscal year (the amounts described in this clause (i) are collectively referred to as “Aggregate Incentives Created”) less any compensation expense that is a direct result of such gain or loss (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) amounts that are treated as Base Fee Earnings and (y) allocations that are made pro rata based on contributed capital of all partners, members or other holders of similar economic interests in the applicable fund) plus (ii) the respective pro rata portion of any “carried interest,” “incentive allocation,” “performance allocation,” “performance fees” (other than Specified Performance Fees) or similar items of gain or loss, that are attributable to interests of OCGH, OEP, Oaktree and BOH in Earnout Funds of third party managers in which the Oaktree Group has invested (as indicated on Schedule 2.5(i)(xiii)) generated during such fiscal year less any compensation expense that is a direct result of such gain or loss (the amounts described in this clause (ii) are collectively referred to as “Investment Net Incentives Created”). For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing, Net Incentives Created (x) may be a negative amount and (y) shall be adjusted by the value of the Brookfield Proportionate Reduction such that a Brookfield Proportionate Reduction that equals a positive number shall reduce Net Incentives Created and a Brookfield Proportionate Reduction that equals a negative number shall increase Net Incentives Created.

(xiv) “Net Incentives Created Target” means the amount set forth on Annex VI.

(xv) “Oaktree Group” means OCH and its Affiliates (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Brookfield Group) including each OpCo and, for so long as they are an Affiliate of Oaktree, OCGH, OEP and the General Partner.

(xvi) “Oaktree Group Member” means each member of the Oaktree Group.

(xvii) “Specified Performance Fees” means, without duplication and calculated in accordance with the Historic Principles, performance based fees payable by a business development company, permanent capital vehicle or open end fund similar to those

vehicles currently included in the line item entitled “Management Fees” set forth on pages 98 and 99 of the 2018 10-K.

(xviii) “Total Incentives Equity Value” means, with respect to an applicable Earnout Measurement Period, a value calculated on a pro forma basis assuming deconsolidation of any Funds that may be reported on a consolidated basis, as (A*B) and pursuant to Section 2.5(h) hereof, where “A” is the average of Net Incentives Created over the three fiscal years constituting such Earnout Measurement Period (and the amount resulting from such average cannot be less than zero) and “B” is a multiple equal to 6.75. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this definition, to the extent not eliminated in the consolidation process, the calculation of “Total Incentives Equity Value” shall disregard payments made to, and costs incurred by, any Oaktree Group Member in connection with any agreement whereby one Oaktree Group Member provides bona fide services to another Oaktree Group Member.

Section 2.6 Purchase Price Allocation. The Parties shall allocate and, as applicable, cause their relevant Subsidiaries to allocate, for purposes of applying Sections 741, 743, 751 and 755 of the Code, the consideration payable for the Partnership Units pursuant to this Agreement and the Exchange Agreement in accordance with the principles to be mutually agreed by the Oaktree Parties and the Acquiror Parties prior to the Closing (the “Purchase Price Allocation Principles”) and consistent with prior allocations for such purposes. No later than 90 days after the Closing Date, Acquiror shall deliver to the Partner Representative a proposed allocation of such consideration payable for the Partnership Units pursuant to this Agreement, in each case determined in a manner consistent with (a) Sections 741, 743, 751 and 755 of the Code and (b) in accordance with the Purchase Price Allocation Principles (such allocation, the “Proposed Purchase Price Allocation”). If the Partner Representative disagrees with any part of the Proposed Purchase Price Allocation, the Partner Representative may, within ten (10) days after delivery of the Proposed Purchase Price Allocation, deliver a notice (the “Allocation Notice”) to Acquiror to that effect, specifying those items as to which the Partner Representative disagrees and setting forth the Partner Representative’s proposed allocations (which must be in accordance with the Purchase Price Allocation Principles). If the Allocation Notice is duly delivered, Acquiror and the Partner Representative shall, during the twenty (20) days following such delivery, use commercially reasonable efforts to reach an agreement on the disputed items or amounts. In the event that Acquiror and the Partner Representative are unable to resolve such disputed items or amounts within such twenty (20) day period, then Acquiror and the Partner Representative shall refer the matter to the Accounting Expert. The Proposed Purchase Price Allocation (as adjusted by the Accounting Expert, if applicable, if it is in accordance with the Purchase Price Allocation Principles) (the “Final Purchase Price Allocation”) shall be final and binding on all Parties. The Acquiror Parties, each Oaktree Party, each Limited Partner and each Company Group Entity shall file all Tax Returns in a manner that is consistent with the Final Purchase Price Allocation.

Section 2.7 Tax Withholding.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Acquiror Parties, their respective Affiliates and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to

deduct and withhold from any payment or issuance to any Person contemplated by this Agreement (i) any Taxes required to be withheld or deducted pursuant to applicable law with respect to such payment to such Person, (ii) any Taxes required to be, or that should have been, withheld by any Partnership with respect to such Person with respect to any distribution, payment or allocation to such Person, or (iii) any Tax liability of any Partnership that is attributable to such Person , and any such amounts shall be paid over to the relevant Taxing Authority. Any such amounts that are not deducted and withheld from any such payment or issuance to any Person contemplated by this Agreement shall be offset against amounts otherwise payable to such Person by the Acquiror, any Company Group Entity, or any of their respective Affiliates following the Closing or, upon demand by the Acquiror, promptly returned by such Person. Any such amounts deducted and withheld and paid over to any Taxing Authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. The Parties shall cooperate to determine any amounts to be withheld, which may be based on estimates available in advance of Closing, and to reduce or eliminate any such withholding, including by providing any forms or certificates that would reduce or eliminate any such withholding. Any amounts deducted and withheld in excess of amounts described in the first sentence of this Section 2.7(a) shall be paid to the Person with respect to which the deduction and withholding was done promptly after all amounts required to be paid over to any Taxing Authority have been determined.

(b) The Parties acknowledge that certain Limited Partners are not United States persons for purposes of Sections 1445 and 1446 of the Code and hence withholding under Sections 1445 or 1446(f) of the Code may apply to such persons that do not provide an executed IRS Form W-9 (or successor forms) to the Acquiror. The Partner Representative and the Partnerships shall reasonably cooperate with the Acquiror Parties, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the Acquiror Parties, in connection with the computation and verification of any amounts required to be withheld, including any “amount realized” with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) The Parties acknowledge and agree that for any Limited Partner who is electing to receive consideration for their Partnership Units in the form of BN Shares or BAM Shares, as applicable, the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, in whole or in part, and without duplication, (i) to fund any withholding tax with cash that would otherwise be payable to such Limited Partner, or, if such amount is insufficient, to require such Limited Partner to fund any withholding tax in cash paid by such Limited Partner and (ii) to withhold from, retain, sell, or cause to be retained or sold, the amount of such BN Shares or BAM Shares otherwise issuable to the relevant Partner (each such Partner, a “Payee”), on behalf of and for the benefit of such Payee, as is necessary to satisfy any applicable withholding, including any withholding arising in connection with such sale of BN Shares or BAM Shares. Any cash proceeds from any such sale in excess of the amount of Taxes due with respect to such Payee, net of any cost and expenses, shall be delivered to the applicable Payee, and the withheld amounts shall be timely remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. Any costs or expenses incurred by the applicable withholding agent in connection with

such sale of BN Shares or BAM Shares shall be borne solely by the applicable Payee. For the avoidance of doubt, the applicable Payee (x) shall be treated as the seller prior to the sale, and the beneficial owner, of any BN Shares or BAM Shares sold pursuant to this Section 2.7(c), for all Tax purposes and (y) shall be responsible for, and hold any applicable withholding agent (and its Representatives and Affiliates) harmless from and against, any Taxes arising as a result of the sale of such Payee’s BN Shares or BAM Shares pursuant to this Section 2.7(c)..

Section 2.8 Pre-Closing Transactions; Closing Transactions. The Pre-Closing Transactions and Closing Transactions may not be amended or modified without the consent of Acquiror and the Partner Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The parties will work together in good faith following the date hereof to agree on the structure of the participation by Participating OEP II Units in incentive earnout payments pursuant to Section 2.5 and to amend this Agreement and the Closing Transactions as applicable to reflect such agreement.

Section 2.9 Pre-Closing Liabilities. At or prior to the Closing, the Oaktree Parties shall settle, discharge, pay, satisfy, and resolve in full all accounts payables, intercompany payables, Taxes payable, accrued expenses, and any other Liabilities of each Partnership (collectively, “Excluded Liabilities”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and for the avoidance of doubt, none of the Acquiror Parties or ExchangeCo shall assume any Excluded Liabilities in connection with the Transactions.

Section 2.10 Cash-out OCGH Limited Partners. Each Cash-out OCGH Limited Partner’s right to receive its Closing Unvested Cash Consideration in respect of any unvested OCGH Units held by such Cash-out OCGH Limited Partner as of immediately prior to Closing shall be subject to vesting in accordance with the same remaining vesting schedule (and forfeiture terms and conditions) that applied to such OCGH Units as of immediately prior to the Closing, as set forth on Schedule 2.10. With respect to any portion of a Cash-out OCGH Limited Partner’s Closing Unvested Cash Consideration that vests following the Closing in accordance with this Section 2.10, as promptly as practicable following the date such portion of the Closing Unvested Cash Consideration vests (and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereof), Acquiror shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such Cash-out OCGH Limited Partner an amount in cash equal to the applicable portion of the Closing Unvested Cash Consideration that has so vested by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by such Cash-out OCGH Limited Partner in writing.

Section 2.11 2025 Q4 Tax Distribution. At or immediately prior to the Closing, OCGH shall make a tax distribution to the OCGH Limited Partners with respect to each OCGH Unit’s allocable share of OCGH’s net taxable income for the period beginning October 1, 2025, and ending December 31, 2025, with such tax distribution calculated and made in accordance with the OCGH Partnership Agreement and consistent with past practice. For the avoidance of doubt, any amount by which such distribution exceeds the Excluded 2025 Q4 Tax Distribution Amount shall increase the Pre-Closing Distribution Amount and reduce the Adjusted Per Unit Amount (for e.g., if the net taxable income per OCGH Unit for such period was $100, the amount that OCGH could distribute to each OCGH Unit at Closing without a reduction to the Adjusted Per

Unit Amount would be $25; if OCGH distributed $49 to each OCGH Unit, then $24 would be deducted from the Adjusted Per Unit Amount).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Section 6.4 shall require the Company Group Entities or any of their respective Affiliates to agree to any condition, take any measure or action or enter into any agreement that is not contingent on the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing.

(d) Each Party shall promptly inform the other Parties of any material communication from the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice or any other Governmental Authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

To the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, each Party shall give the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any material written communication or correspondence by such Party to any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither Party shall (i) make

or enter into any understandings, undertakings or agreements (oral or written) with the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice or any other Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) nor (ii) agree to participate in any material meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation, inquiry or any other matter contemplated by this Section 6.4 unless it consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting or discussion. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, subject to its undertakings in this Section 6.4, in the event of a disagreement, the final determination as to the appropriate course of action with respect to the strategy for securing any Consents or permits required from Governmental Authorities shall be made by Acquiror.

(e) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, without limiting the generality of the undertakings pursuant to this Section 6.4, each of the Parties agree to use their reasonable best efforts and cooperate with each other to satisfy the ITAR Pre-Notification Requirement. To the extent a controlled Portfolio Company in which a Company Group Entity holds equity interests is registered with DDTC as a manufacturer, exporter, and/or broker under the ITAR (or covered by such a registration held by a parent, subsidiary, or affiliate company), the Company Group Entities shall promptly cause its applicable controlled Portfolio Companies to submit a notification to DDTC as provided for in 22 C.F.R. § 122.4(b), and promptly respond to all questions and comments received from DDTC regarding such notification. The Company Group Entities shall, in connection with its efforts to satisfy the ITAR Pre-Notification Requirement, liaise with the Acquiror in relation to each material step of the procedure before DDTC and as to the content of all material communication with DDTC (it being understood that when the content relates to confidential information of the Company Group Entities or the applicable controlled Portfolio Companies, the provision of such content shall be limited to counsel and advisors to the Acquiror at the Company Group Entities’ request).

(f) To the extent a controlled Portfolio Company in which a Company Group Entity holds equity interests is subject to NISPOM, the Company Group Entities shall cause its applicable controlled Portfolio Companies to submit a notification regarding the Transactions to DCSA as promptly as practicable and, to the extent applicable, any other agency of the U.S. Government, pursuant to NISPOM and any other applicable national or industrial security regulations. The Parties shall cooperate with one another and use their reasonable best efforts to submit the DCSA Notice.

Section 6.6 Further Assurances. Each Party to this Agreement agrees to negotiate in good faith, execute and deliver such documents and other papers, including the Partnership

Agreement Amendments, the TRA Amendment and the other Transaction Documents, and take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and use its reasonable efforts to perform or cause to be performed such further acts as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions contained in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Prior to the Closing, the Parties will cooperate to give effect to the Pre-Closing Transactions, including with respect to any modifications thereto in accordance with Section 2.8. Following the Closing, upon the reasonable request of any Party, the other Parties agree to promptly execute and deliver such further instruments of assignment, transfer, conveyance, endorsement, direction or authorization and other documents as may be reasonably requested to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 6.7 Tax Matters.

(a) Successor Partnerships and Continuations. The rights and obligations of the Acquiror Parties with respect to the Partnerships under this Section 6.7 shall apply to each Partnership and to any entity that succeeds to, or is treated as a continuation of, any such Partnership (including ExchangeCo, any partnership, disregarded entity, or other entity treated as a continuation of a Partnership under Section 708 of the Code or otherwise).

(b) Tax Returns.

(i) Following the Closing, ExchangeCo GP shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) each Tax Return of ExchangeCo, the Partnerships and the Company Group Entities that are required to be filed after the Closing Date. To the extent any such Tax Return (x) is a Pass-Through Income Tax Return for a Straddle Period, ExchangeCo GP shall (i) except as required by applicable Law, prepare each such Pass-Through Income Tax Return in a manner consistent with past practice with respect to items attributable to the Pre-Closing portion of such Straddle Period and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Partner Representative a draft of each such Pass-Through Income Tax Return solely with respect to items attributable to the Pre-Closing portion of such Straddle Period for its review and comment at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which such Pass-Through Income Tax Return is required to be filed (taking into any account extensions). The Partner Representative shall provide comments on any such Pass-Through Income Tax Return within ten (10) days after the receipt of such Pass-Through Income Tax Return. ExchangeCo GP shall reflect in good faith any reasonable comments from the Partner Representative with respect to any such Pass-Through Income Tax Return (i) to the extent such comments relate to the Pre-Closing portion of such Pass-Through Income Tax Return and (ii) such comments would not be reasonably expected to cause ExchangeCo to incur a material amount of Taxes in a post-closing Tax period or such comments are required to reflect the intended U.S. federal income Tax treatment of the transactions.

(ii) Following Closing, except as required by applicable Law, as required by a final determination of a Taxing Authority or with the consent of the Partner Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), ExchangeCo GP shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, amend any Pass-Through Income Tax Return of ExchangeCo, the Partnerships or the Company Group Entities that was filed prior to Closing

or any Tax Return governed by Section 6.7(b)(i) after such Tax Return is filed. The filing of a Pass-Through Income Tax Return of the Partnerships after Closing shall be governed by Section 6.7(b)(i); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict ExchangeCo GP from amending any such Tax Return to (A) give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the contribution of assets to ExchangeCo and the intended continuation of the Partnerships, (B) comply with applicable Law, or (C) implement adjustments required to preserve the intended U.S. federal income Tax treatment of such transactions.

(i) ExchangeCo GP shall promptly notify the Partner Representative following the receipt by ExchangeCo GP or ExchangeCo of a written notice of any Tax Contest involving the Taxes of ExchangeCo, the Partnership, the Company Group Entities for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, and including any Tax Contest relating to Covered Taxes (a “Pre-Closing Tax Contest”). The failure to promptly notify the Partner Representative shall not affect the rights and obligations relating to indemnification for Covered Taxes, except to the extent the failure to provide prompt notification actually and materially prejudices the indemnifying Person.

(ii) ExchangeCo GP shall control any Pre-Closing Tax Contests; provided, however, that to the extent permitted by Law (and at the sole expense of the Partner Representative), (A) ExchangeCo GP shall keep the Partner Representative reasonably informed with respect to the conduct of such Pre-Closing Tax Contest, (B) the Partner Representative shall have the right to participate (or designate a Person to participate) in such Pre-Closing Tax Contest in a reasonable manner (which right shall include the right to receive copies of all documents furnished to or received by ExchangeCo GP or ExchangeCo in connection with the Pre-Closing Tax Contest, the right to be involved in any oral communications, where practical, between any representative of ExchangeCo GP and the Taxing Authority, the right to consult with ExchangeCo GP about all significant decisions regarding the conduct of the Pre-Closing Tax Contest, and the opportunity to provide input to the representatives of ExchangeCo GP regarding all such significant decisions), (C) ExchangeCo GP shall diligently defend any position previously taken by the Partnership that is challenged in such Pre-Closing Tax Contest, and (D) ExchangeCo GP shall consider in good faith any reasonable input from the Partner Representative in connection with any such Pre-Closing Tax Contest; provided that, ExchangeCo GP shall not settle any such Pre-Closing Tax Contest without the consent of the Partner Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(iii) The Parties shall take such actions as are necessary to (A) allow the Person or Persons designated (at any time or from time to time) by ExchangeCo GP to be the Taxpayer Representative of ExchangeCo, the Partnerships or the Company Group Entities and (B) perfect the designation of such Taxpayer Representative. The Tax Representative shall have sole and absolute discretion to make, or instruct the designated individual to make, a Push Out Election with respect to ExchangeCo, the Partnerships or the Company Group Entities for any taxable year ending on or before the Closing Date. The Partner Representative shall cooperate with ExchangeCo GP and each Taxpayer Representative in connection with any Pre-Closing Tax

Contests, including by providing access to relevant books and records and executing such documents as may be reasonably requested to effectuate any Push-Out Election. The Tax Representative shall consider in good faith any written, reasonable request by the Partner Representative to reduce or minimize the liability of the partners of any of the Partnerships, taking into account the interests of the Partnerships as a whole; provided, however that nothing in this sentence shall limit or otherwise affect the Taxpayer Representative’s sole discretion to make a push-out election pursuant to Section 6226.

(d) Straddle Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, with respect to any Straddle Period, (x) in the case of any real property or personal property Tax or other Tax calculated on a periodic basis, the portion of such Tax allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to include the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (y) in the case of any other Tax, the portion of such Tax allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if the relevant Straddle Period ended on and included the Closing Date.

(e) Transfer Taxes. Each applicable Oaktree Party, on the one hand, and the applicable Acquiror Party, on the other hand, shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of all Transfer Taxes imposed on the transaction effected at Closing pursuant to Article II. The Acquiror Parties and the Oaktree Parties shall cooperate in the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns or other filings relating to any such Transfer Taxes.

(f) Cooperation. The Parties hereto shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party (and at such requesting party’s sole expense), in connection with (i) the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to Section 6.7(d), and (ii) any Tax Contest. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Contest and making employees and advisors available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require any Acquiror Party (or its Affiliates) to provide any Tax Return of, or other confidential Tax information (determined in the applicable Acquiror’s sole discretion) regarding, any affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary or similar group for Tax purposes in which any Acquiror Party is a member.

(g) Section 754 Elections. Each Partnership and Company Group Entity shall make an election described in Section 754 of the Code effective for the taxable year including the Closing Date to the extent such Partnership or Company Group entity does not already have such election currently in effect.

(h) Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all Tax Sharing Agreements between an Oaktree Party, on the one hand, and any Partnership or Company Group Entity, on the other hand, shall be terminated, and all payables and receivables arising thereunder shall be settled, in each case prior to the Closing Date. After the Closing Date, the Partnerships and Company Group Entities shall not have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

(i) Tax Certificates. Each Partnership, as applicable, shall deliver to Acquiror at or prior to the Closing, a duly executed certificate in accordance with (i) Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-11T(d)(2) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Acquiror stating that fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of the gross assets of such Partnership does not consist of “U.S. real property interests,” or that ninety percent (90%) or more of the value of the gross assets of such Partnership does not consist of “U.S. real property interests” plus cash or cash equivalents and (ii) Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1446(f)-2(c)(2)(ii)(C) providing the share of Partnership liabilities of each Limited Partner that is (or that is disregarded as an entity separate from) a “foreign person” (within the meaning of Section 1446(f) of the Code).

(j) Covered Taxes. As a condition to receiving their applicable Adjusted Per Unit Amount, from and after the Closing, each of the OCGH Limited Partner (severally, and not jointly, in accordance with their respective Partner Percentages relative to the other OCGH Limited Partners) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Brookfield Indemnified Parties from and against, and pay to the applicable Brookfield Indemnified Party, the amount of any Losses based upon, resulting from, arising from, or related to any Covered Taxes; provided, that any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.7(j) (a “Tax Claim”) shall be satisfied in the following order of priority, without duplication: (i) first, from the OCGH Cash Reserves, until such amount is exhausted (taking into account all prior Tax Claims); and (ii) second, to the extent the cumulative amount of Tax Claims exceed the OCGH Cash Reserves, directly from the OCGH Limited Partners; provided, further, that the Acquiror Parties may satisfy any amounts recoverable under clause (ii), at their sole discretion, through the forfeiture of, reduction and offset against any amounts that would otherwise be payable to an OCGH Limited Partner pursuant to Section 2.5 (Incentive Earnout). Any Tax Claim shall be asserted by the Acquiror Parties by giving the Partner Representative reasonably prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such reasonable notice shall not release, waive, or otherwise affect the obligations of the applicable OCGH Limited Partners with respect thereto except to the extent that the applicable OCGH Limited Partners are actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 6.7(j) with respect to Covered Taxes shall survive the Closing until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including any extensions thereof). Any Tax Claim asserted in writing prior to the expiration of such survival period shall survive until finally resolved. To the extent any amount of the OCGH Cash Reserve remains after satisfying all indemnifiable Tax Claims in accordance with this Section 6.7(j), such amount shall be released to the Partner Representative promptly following the date that is on the later of (i) the date on which the applicable statute of limitations (including any extensions, waivers or tolling periods) with respect to all Covered Taxes (other than any Covered Taxes for which the applicable statute of limitations does not expire by its terms) has expired plus sixty (60) days and (ii) the date on which there is no pending or threatened Tax Contest with respect to any Covered Taxes; provided, that with respect to any Covered Taxes for which the applicable statute of limitations does not expire by its terms, amounts shall be retained only to the extent of any specific, identified claim, audit, or known issue for which Acquiror (or its Affiliate) has provided written notice to the Partner Representative prior to such release, including a good faith written description of the basis for such exposure.

Section 6.8 Intended Tax Treatment. The Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, report the Transactions consistent with Schedule 6.8. The provisions of Section 6.7(c) shall apply with respect to any Tax Contest related to the Tax treatment described on Schedule 6.8.

Each Party acknowledges and agrees that each is aware, and each of their respective Affiliates and representatives are aware (or upon receipt of any material nonpublic information of any other Party, will be advised), of the restrictions imposed by the United States federal securities Laws and other applicable foreign and domestic Laws on Persons possessing material nonpublic information about a public company. Each Party agrees, that during the period from the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX (Termination), except in connection with or support of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, while any of them are in possession of such material nonpublic information, none of such Persons shall, directly or indirectly (through its Affiliates or otherwise), acquire, offer or propose to acquire, agree to acquire, sell or transfer or offer or propose to sell or transfer any securities of BAM or BN, communicate such information to any other Person or cause or encourage any Person to do any of the foregoing.

Section 6.10 Notification. The Oaktree Parties shall immediately notify Acquiror in writing of any Effect having, or which it reasonably expects may have, an Oaktree Material Adverse Effect. For the avoidance of doubt, the delivery of any such notice and the contents thereof shall not modify or change in any respect the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement.

Section 6.11 Termination of Certain Agreements. Effective as of the Closing, the Oaktree Parties (and/or their Affiliates) party thereto shall cause each of the Contracts set forth on Schedule 6.11 to be terminated, in each case, without any Liability to the Acquiror Parties or their respective Affiliates following the Closing.

(a) Acquiror and Partner Representative may terminate this Agreement by mutual written consent at any time prior to the Closing;

(b) Either Acquiror or Partner Representative may terminate this Agreement, upon written notice to the other Party, if any Governmental Authority shall have issued an Order, enacted, or enforced a Law, or taken any other action permanently preventing, prohibiting, restraining, or enjoining the Closing and such Order, Law, or other action shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to the Party seeking to terminate if the failure of such Party

or of such Party’s Affiliates to perform any of their obligations under this Agreement required to be performed at or prior to the Closing was the primary cause of the issuance, enactment, or enforcement of such Order, Law, or other action;

(c) Acquiror may terminate this Agreement, upon written notice to the Partner Representative, if there has been a violation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Oaktree Parties contained in this Agreement, which violation, breach or inaccuracy would cause any of the conditions set forth in Article VII (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of the Acquiror Parties) not to be satisfied or to become incapable of being satisfied, and, in each case, such violation, breach or inaccuracy has not been waived by Acquiror or cured by the Oaktree Parties within the earlier of (x) the Termination Date and (y) twenty (20) Business Days after receipt by the Partner Representative of written notice thereof from Acquiror or is not capable of being cured prior to the Termination Date; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) shall not be available to Acquiror if the failure of the Acquiror Parties to fulfill any material obligation under, or the breach by the Acquiror Parties of any material provision of, this Agreement shall have been the primary or principal cause of, or shall have resulted in, the Oaktree Parties’ violation, breach or inaccuracy;

(d) The Partner Representative may terminate this Agreement, upon written notice to Acquiror, if there has been a violation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant of the Acquiror Parties contained in this Agreement, which violation, breach or inaccuracy would cause any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of the Oaktree Parties), not to be satisfied, and such violation, breach or inaccuracy has not been waived by the Partner Representative or cured by the Acquiror Parties within the earlier of (x) the Termination Date and (y) twenty (20) Business Days after receipt by Acquiror of written notice thereof from the Partner Representative or is not capable of being cured prior to the Termination Date; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) shall not be available to the Partner Representative if the failure of the Partner Representative or the Oaktree Parties to fulfill any material obligation under, or the breach by the Partner Representative or the Oaktree Parties of any material provision of, this Agreement shall have been the primary or principal cause of, or shall have resulted in, the Acquiror Parties’ violation, breach or inaccuracy; or

(e) Either Acquiror or Partner Representative may terminate this Agreement, upon written notice to the other Party, if the Closing Date shall not have occurred on or before January 14, 2027 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, if on the initial Termination Date, all of the conditions set forth in Article VII and Article VIII have been satisfied or waived, other than (i) those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing (provided that such conditions would be capable of being satisfied if the Closing were to occur on such date), and (ii) Section 7.4 or Section 8.4, then either Acquiror or Partner Representative may, in its sole discretion, upon written notice to the other Party delivered on or prior to the Termination Date, extend the Termination Date for an additional three (3) months, in which case the Termination Date shall be deemed for all purposes to be such later date; provided, further, that (i) the terminating Party is not in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement

contained herein at the time of such termination so as to cause (1) in the case that Acquiror is the terminating Party, any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of the Oaktree Parties) not to be satisfied and (2) in the case that the Partner Representative is the terminating Party, any of the conditions set forth in Article VII (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of the Acquiror Parties) not to be satisfied and (ii) this Section 9.1(e) (Termination) shall not be available to any Party during the pendency of any Proceeding by the other Party for specific performance of this Agreement as provided by Section 10.9.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.1 Survival. None of the representations and warranties contained in Article III, Article IV or Article V (except for the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.8 and Section 5.8) or any of the other Transaction Documents to be delivered prior to the Closing (including any certificate to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement) and none of the covenants of any party required to be performed by such party before the Closing shall survive the Closing, and thereafter none of the parties hereto or any of their Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives shall have any liability whatsoever with respect to any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, and no claim for breach of any such representation or warranty, detrimental reliance or other right or remedy (whether in contract, in tort or at law or in equity) may be brought after the Closing with respect thereto, except, in each case, in the event of Fraud. The provisions of this Section 10.1 will not, however, prevent or limit a cause of action under Section 10.9 to obtain an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof. Unless otherwise indicated, the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement which by their terms are required to be performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing until such covenants or agreements have been performed or satisfied.

Section 10.2 Amendments; Extension; Waiver. Subject to Section 2.8 (Pre-Closing Transactions; Closing Transactions), this Agreement may not be amended, altered or modified except by written instrument executed by Acquiror and the Partner Representative. The failure or delay by any Party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of any such provision nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of such Party thereafter to enforce each and every

such provision. No waiver of any breach of or non-compliance with this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or non-compliance. The observance of any provision of this Agreement may only be waived in a writing by the Party that will lose the benefit of such provision as a result of such waiver.

Section 10.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Schedules, Annexes and Exhibits, each other Transaction Document and any other documents, instruments and agreements specifically referred to herein or therein or delivered pursuant to this Agreement or thereto constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior discussions, negotiations, proposals, understandings, understandings or agreements, whether oral or written among the Parties with respect to such subject matter.

Section 10.4 Construction and Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections, Annexes, Exhibits or Schedules, such reference shall be to a Section of or Annex, Exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The words “hereof,” “herein,” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The table of contents headings and footers contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural, and vice versa, unless the context requires otherwise. Unless the defined term “Business Days” is used, references to “days” in this Agreement refer to calendar days; provided, however, that if the last day for the giving of any notice or the performance of any act required or permitted under this Agreement is a day that is not a Business Day, then the time for the giving of such notice or the performance of such action shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. The terms “Dollars” and “$” mean United States Dollars unless otherwise expressly stated. References to “written” or “in writing” include in electronic form. References herein to a Person in a particular capacity or capacities shall exclude such Person in any other capacity. References to any Person include the successors and permitted assigns of that Person. The use of the words “or” and “any” shall not be exclusive. In the event any ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by all Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. References herein to any Law or any Contract mean such Law or Contract as amended, restated, amended and restated, modified, codified, reenacted, supplemented or superseded in whole or in part, and in effect from time to time; provided that with respect to any Contract listed on the Oaktree Party Disclosure Schedule, all such amendments, modifications or supplements must also be listed in the appropriate schedule. References herein to any Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. References to accounting terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meaning assigned to them under GAAP. References to an item arising with respect to a specific representation or warranty shall be deemed to be “reflected on” or “set forth in” a balance sheet or financial statement to the extent (i) there is a reserve, accrual or other

similar item underlying a number on such balance sheet or financial statement that is related to the subject matter of such representation, (ii) such item is otherwise specifically set forth on the balance sheet or financial statement, or (iii) such item is reflected on the balance sheet or financial statement and is specifically referred to in the notes thereto. Prior to the Closing, (a) any obligation on the Oaktree Parties to act or omit to act, shall be deemed to include an obligation for the General Partner to cause such Oaktree Party to comply with such obligation, and (b) any obligation on the Oaktree Parties to act or omit to act, shall be deemed to include an obligation for the Oaktree Parties to cause any Company Group Entity to comply with such obligation.

Section 10.5 Severability. Should any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable by Law to any extent: (a) such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, and only to the extent, of such unenforceability or prohibition and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by Law, (b) such unenforceability or prohibition in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision as applied (i) to other Persons or circumstances or (ii) in any other jurisdiction, and (c) such unenforceability or prohibition shall not affect or invalidate any other provision of this Agreement. Upon such a determination, the parties 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 be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible and in a manner so as to as closely as possible provide the parties with the intended benefits, net of the intended burdens, set forth in any such invalid, void or unenforceable provision.

Section 10.6 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications given or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made (a) as of the date delivered, if delivered personally, (b) on the date sent by email, (c) two (2) Business Days after being mailed by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) or (d) one (1) Business Day after being sent by overnight courier (providing proof of delivery), to the Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 10.6):

Section 10.7 Binding Effect; No Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of Acquiror and the Partner Representative and any purported assignment or other transfer without such consent shall be void and unenforceable; provided, that neither the consent of the Partner Representative or any other Person shall be required for an assignment (a) by Acquiror to (i) one or more Affiliates of Acquiror, or (ii) one or more financing sources of Acquiror, in each case so long as such assignment would not prevent, impair or materially delay the consummation of the Closing; provided, that no such assignment in any of clauses (i) or (ii) above shall relieve Acquiror of its obligations under this Agreement or (b) by BN to an Affiliate that succeeds BN as the publicly listed parent of the Brookfield Group.

Section 10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or .pdf format scanned signatures and in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signatory Parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together, be deemed an original, and shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 10.9 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, in

addition to any other remedies, each Party shall be entitled to seek to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. Each Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Each Party further agrees that the only permitted objection that it may raise in response to any action for equitable relief is that it contests the existence of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

Section 10.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties, certain directors and officers to the extent that they are beneficiaries of D&O Insurance pursuant to Section 6.15 (Director and Officer Liability), or the Non-Recourse Parties pursuant to Section 10.13 (Limitation on Recourse), and, in each case, their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 10.11 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether at Law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall in all respects be governed by, and interpreted and construed in accordance with, the substantive and procedural Laws (excluding conflict of laws rules and principles) of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such State, including all matters of construction, validity and performance.

Section 10.12 Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or if such court does not have jurisdiction, any state or federal court within New Castle County, Delaware, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. To the extent that service of process by mail is permitted by applicable Law, each Party irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such suit, action or other proceeding in such courts by the mailing of such process by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address for notices provided for herein. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Person to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in (a) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or (b) any state or federal court within New Castle County, Delaware, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection therewith and for any counterclaim with respect thereto. In the event of any Proceeding or other legal action with respect to any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby, the Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the prevailing Party in such Proceeding or action (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order) shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing Party all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable

attorney’s fees) incurred by the prevailing Party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding or action.

Section 10.13 Limitation on Recourse. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or at Law to the contrary, other than in the case of Fraud, pursuant to the terms of any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, no representative or Affiliate of any Party shall have any personal liability to any other Party or any other Person resulting from, arising out of or related to this Agreement, under any Law, any other Transaction Document (of which it is not a party), or the Transactions, and this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Proceeding for breach of this Agreement may only be made against, the Persons that are expressly identified herein as Parties to this Agreement. No Affiliate of a Party, or any Party’s or its Affiliates’ respective former, current and future officers, directors, managers, employees, advisors, equityholders, members, managers, partners, agents, representatives, successors or assigns that is not a Party to this Agreement (collectively, “Non-Recourse Parties”) shall have any liability for any liabilities or obligations of the applicable Parties for any action or Proceeding (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document (of which it is not a party) or in respect of any written or oral representations or warranties made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, and the other Parties shall have no rights of recovery in respect hereof against any other Party’s Non-Recourse Party and no personal liability shall attach to any Non-Recourse Party, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by the enforcement of any judgment, fine or penalty or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, or otherwise, in each case, other than in the case of Fraud, pursuant to the terms of any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

Section 10.14 Partner Representative.

(a) Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement Amendments and the Exchange Agreement Amendments, and by participating in the Exchanges and accepting the benefits thereof, each Limited Partner and Phantom Unit Holder (each, an “Equityholder” and collectively, the “Equityholders”), on behalf of itself and its successors, heirs and permitted assigns, shall be deemed to have approved the appointment of, and hereby irrevocably appoints, the Partner Representative as such Equityholder’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full powers of substitution and resubstitution, in such Equityholder’s name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by any other Transaction Documents, granting unto said attorney-in-fact and agent, full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary to be done in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, as fully to all intents and purposes as such Equityholder might or could do in person, including the full power and authority: (i) to consummate the transactions to be consummated by the Equityholders under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, (ii) to disburse any funds or other consideration received hereunder or under the Transaction Documents, (iii) to agree to resolution of all claims and disputes hereunder or under any other Transaction Documents, including any Tax Contest in accordance with Section 6.7(c), (iv) to retain legal counsel and other professional services, at the expense of the Equityholders, in connection with the performance by the Partner Representative

of its duties, or exercise of its rights, under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Documents, including any Tax Contest in accordance with Section 6.7(c), (v) to make any amendments to, or grant any waivers under, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document on behalf of any or all of the Equityholders, (vi) to make all decisions with respect to the determination of any amounts under Section 2.5 (Incentive Earnout), (vii) to determine whether the conditions to Closing in Article VIII (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of the Oaktree Parties) have been satisfied and supervising the Closing, including determining the satisfaction of, or waiving any, condition, as determined by the Partner Representative, in its sole discretion, (viii) to take any action that may be necessary or desirable, as determined by the Partner Representative, in its sole discretion, in connection with the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX (Termination), (ix) to accept notices on behalf of any or all of the Equityholders in accordance with Section 10.6 (Notices) or otherwise pursuant to any other Transaction Documents, (x) to take any and all actions that may be necessary or desirable, as determined by the Partner Representative, in its sole discretion, in connection with negotiating or entering into settlements and compromises of any claim on behalf of the Equityholders hereunder, (xi) to execute and deliver, on behalf of any or all of the Equityholders, any and all notices, documents or certificates to be executed by the Equityholders, in connection with this Agreement, and other Transaction Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and (xii) to grant any consent or approval on behalf any or all of the Equityholders under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided, that the Partner Representative shall not take any action that would have an adverse effect on any particular Equityholder, which adverse effect is disproportionate in any material respect relative to the adverse effect on the other Equityholders (taking into account any benefits received by any other Equityholder in connection with such action or any related action), taken as a whole, without the prior written consent of such Equityholder to be so disproportionately and adversely affected. All such actions shall be binding on the Equityholders.

(b) The appointment of the Partner Representative as the attorney-in-fact for the Equityholders as set forth in this Section 10.14 (Partner Representative) and all authority hereby conferred are granted and conferred in consideration of the interest of the other Equityholders, is therefore coupled with an interest and is and will be irrevocable and will neither be terminated nor otherwise affected by any act of any Equityholder or by operation of law, whether by the death, dissolution, liquidation, incapacity or incompetence of such Equityholder or by the occurrence of any other event. If, after the execution of this Agreement, any Equityholder dies, dissolves or liquidates or becomes incapacitated or incompetent, the Partner Representative is nevertheless authorized, empowered and directed to act in accordance with this Section 10.14 (Partner Representative) as if that death, dissolution, liquidation, incapacity or incompetency had not occurred and regardless of notice thereof. In the event that the General Partner ceases to be the Partner Representative for any reason, each Equityholder agrees that the General Partner is solely authorized to irrevocably constitute and appoint a replacement Partner Representative.

(c) The Partner Representative may resign at any time and a successor representative shall be appointed by the Equityholders representing a majority in interest (based on Partner Percentage) of the Equityholders as of such time (including in the event of the death,

disability or other incapacity of a Partner Representative that is an individual), and, following the provision of at least 10 days’ prior written notice to Acquiror, the newly appointed representative shall be the Partner Representative for all purposes hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, at no point shall more than one Person serve as the Partner Representative. Neither the resignation of, nor the appointment of a successor to, the Partner Representative shall affect in any manner the validity or enforceability of any actions taken or agreements, understandings or commitments entered into by the prior Partner Representative, which shall continue to be effective and binding on the Equityholders and any successor Partner Representative, as applicable.

(d) If the Partner Representative incurs any out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses, the Partner Representative shall be reimbursed for such fees, costs and expenses by each Equityholder in accordance with their respective Partner Percentages upon demand; provided, that the Acquiror Parties shall reimburse the Partner Representative for the first $25,000 per annum of reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses of administration incurred by the Partner Representative in the ordinary course (which for the avoidance shall not include any costs, fees or expenses related to initiating, defending or resolving any claims or disputes under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents).

(e) The Partner Representative shall have no liability to any Equityholder under this Agreement for any action or omission by the Partner Representative on behalf of the Equityholders. In dealing with this Agreement and in exercising or failing to exercise all or any of the powers conferred upon the Partner Representative hereunder, the Partner Representative will not assume any, and will incur no, responsibility or liability whatsoever to any Equityholder by reason of any error in judgment or other act or omission performed or omitted hereunder or in connection with this Agreement. The Partner Representative may act pursuant to the advice of counsel with respect to any matter relating to this Agreement and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with such advice. Each Equityholder, severally in accordance with his, her or its Partner Percentage, agrees to indemnify the Partner Representative, its successors, assigns, representatives and Affiliates (the “Partner Representative Parties”) and to hold the Partner Representative Parties harmless from and against and pay any and all Losses or expenses incurred by the Partner Representative and arising out of or in connection with the duties as Partner Representative, including the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Partner Representative in defending against any claim or liability in connection with this Agreement.

(f) The Partner Representative shall be entitled to rely upon any order, judgment, certification, demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it hereunder without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of the service thereof. The Partner Representative may act in reliance upon any instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that the Person purporting to give receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. The Partner Representative may conclusively presume that the representative of any party which is an entity other than a natural person has full power and authority to instruct the Partner Representative on

behalf of that party unless written notice to the contrary is delivered to the Partner Representative.

(g) The Acquiror Parties shall be entitled to rely (without investigation) on and have no liability to any Equityholder or any other Person for, any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Partner Representative pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise taken by the Partner Representative in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, all of which actions or omissions shall be legally binding upon the Partnerships and the Equityholders. The Acquiror Parties shall be fully protected in dealing with the Partner Representative under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document and may rely upon the authority of the Partner Representative to act on behalf of the Partnerships and the Equityholders. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment by the Acquiror Parties to the Partner Representative to the extent authorized under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be considered a payment by Acquiror to the Equityholders, and the Acquiror Parties shall have no liability to any Equityholder for any payments so made.

(h) The rights, powers and benefits of the Partner Representative under this Agreement, and the agreements set forth in this Section 10.14 (Partner Representative), shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.14, the provisions of this Section 10.14 do not affect any right of the Acquiror Parties hereunder or create any obligation on the part of the Acquiror Parties.

Section 10.15 Guaranty.

(a) Each of BAM and BN (collectively, the “Guarantors”) hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee (the “Guaranty”), severally (and not jointly or jointly and severally) in accordance with the percentage set forth opposite its name on Schedule 10.15, to the Oaktree Parties, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance by each Acquiror Party of their respective obligations to pay the aggregate consideration to be paid by Acquiror in connection with the Transactions, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment obligations pursuant to Section 2.5 of this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions hereof (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each of BAM and BN hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, all requirements as to presentment to (i) demand of payment from and protest to any Acquiror Party any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) notice of acceptance of its guarantee and (iii) notice of protest for nonpayment. Each of BAM and BN further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations constitute a guarantee of payment and not of collection. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the other Transaction Documents, the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability or impossibility (other than defense of payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations).

(b) The obligations of BAM and BN pursuant to this Section 10.15 shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest of (x) the valid termination of this Agreement in

accordance with Article IX (Termination) and (y) the full performance of the respective Guaranteed Obligations by BAM and BN or the Acquiror Parties (such date, as applicable the “Expiration Date”), at which time, (i) this Guaranty shall automatically terminate and be of no further legal effect, and (ii) the Oaktree Parties shall have no further right vis-à-vis the Guarantors under this Guaranty.

(c) Any demand by the Oaktree Parties under this Section 10.15 (a “Guaranty Enforcement Notice”) shall be made by written notice to the Guarantors and shall: (a) identify the Guaranteed Obligations to which it relates and a brief description of the relevant breach or non-payment by the Acquiror Parties; (b) state the amount then due and payable (or, if not then ascertainable, a good faith estimate thereof) together with reasonable supporting details; (c) specify the bank account details for payment; and (d) be delivered by email and internationally recognized courier to the Guarantors at its notice details under this Agreement.

(d) All payments by the Guarantors under the Guaranty shall be made in the currency in which the relevant Guaranteed Obligation is denominated. If a Guarantor pays in another currency, it shall indemnify the Oaktree Parties for any shortfall arising from currency conversion. The Guarantors shall also pay, on demand, all reasonable and properly documented costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred by the Oaktree Parties in connection with the valid enforcement of this Guaranty as finally determined pursuant to Section 10.12.
