Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, no Limited Partner shall own an interest in any GCP Intermediate Pooling Vehicle.

(b)    To the extent that the allocations of Operating Loss contemplated by Section 3.4(a) would cause the Capital Account of any Limited Partner to be less than zero, such Operating Loss shall to that extent instead be allocated to and debited against the Capital Account of the General Partner (or, at the direction of the General Partner, to those Limited Partners who are limited partners of the General Partner in proportion to their limited partner interests in the General Partner). Following any such adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.4(b) with respect to any Limited Partner, any Operating Profit for any subsequent Fiscal Year which would otherwise be credited to the Capital Account of such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 3.4(a) shall instead be credited to the Capital Account of the General Partner (or relevant Limited Partners) until the cumulative amounts so credited to the Capital Account of the General Partner (or relevant Limited Partners) with respect to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 3.4(b) is equal to the cumulative amount debited against the Capital Account of the General Partner (or relevant Limited Partners) with respect to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 3.4(b).

(c)    Each Limited Partner’s rights and entitlements as a Limited Partner are limited to the rights to receive allocations and distributions of Operating Profit expressly conferred by this Agreement and any Other Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 9.1(b) and the other rights expressly conferred by this Agreement and any such Other Agreement or required by the Delaware Act, and a Limited Partner shall not be entitled to any other allocations, distributions or payments in respect of his interest, or to have or exercise any other rights, privileges or powers.

(d)    For purposes of Section 3.4(a), the General Partner may determine, in its sole discretion, to allocate any increase in value of the Partnership’s assets pursuant to the definition of “Carrying Value” solely to the Limited Partners that are entitled to a Catch Up Amount (pro rata based on any method the General Partner determines is reasonable), or to specially allocate Operating Profit to such Limited Partners, or a combination thereof, until such Limited Partners have received an allocation equal to the Catch Up Amount.

(e)    Operating Profit and Operating Loss shall be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as reasonably approved by the General Partner using any permissible method under Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. If any Limited Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership, retire from the Partnership or assigned additional Points at different times during the Partnership’s Fiscal Year, Operating Profit or Operating Loss shall be allocated among the Limited Partners on such proper basis as the General Partner shall determine consistent with the applicable requirements under Section 706 of the Code.

(a)    For United States federal, state and local income tax purposes, Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or any item thereof) for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated to and among the Partners in order to reflect the allocations of Operating Profit and Operating Loss pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4 for such Fiscal Year; provided that any taxable income or loss associated with any Book-Tax Difference shall be allocated for tax purposes in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code in any such manner (as is permitted under that Code Section and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion.

(b)    If any Partner or Partners are treated for United States federal income tax purposes as realizing ordinary income because of receiving interests in the Partnership (whether under Section 83 of the Code or under any similar provision of any law, rule or regulation) and the Partnership is entitled to any offsetting deduction (net of any income realized by the Partnership as a result of such receipt), the Partnership’s net deduction shall be allocated to and among the Partners in such manner as to offset, as nearly as possible, the ordinary income realized by such Partner or Partners.

(a)    The Partnership and each Partner agree to treat the Interests as a “Profits Interest” with respect to the Partnership within the meaning of Rev. Proc. 93-27, 1993-2 C.B. 343. In accordance with Rev. Proc. 2001-43, 2001-2 C.B. 191, the Partnership shall treat a Partner holding an Interest as the owner of such Interest from the date such Interest was issued, and shall file its IRS form 1065, and issue appropriate Schedule K-1s to such Partner, allocating to such Partner its distributive share of all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit associated with such Interest as if it were fully vested. Each such Partner agrees to take into account such distributive share in computing its United States federal income tax liability for the entire period during which it holds the Interest. Except as required pursuant to a “Determination” as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code, none of the Partnership or any Partner shall claim a deduction (as wages, compensation or otherwise) for the fair market value of such Interest issued to a Partner in respect of the Partnership, either at the time of grant of the Interest, or at the time the Points assigned to the holder of the Interest become substantially vested. The undertakings contained in this Section 3.6 shall be construed in accordance with Section 4 of Rev. Proc. 2001-43. The provisions of this Section 3.6 shall apply regardless of whether or not the holder of an Interest files an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code. This Section 3.6 shall apply only to an Interest granted while Rev. Proc. 93-27, 1993-2 C.B. 343 and Rev. Proc. 2001-43, 2001-2 C.B. 191, remain in effect.

(b)    The Partners agree that, in the event the Safe Harbor Regulation is finalized, the Partnership shall be authorized and directed to make the Safe Harbor Election, and the Partnership and each Partner (including any Person to whom an interest in the Partnership is transferred in connection with the performance of services) agrees to comply with all requirements of the Safe Harbor with respect to all interests in the Partnership transferred in connection with the performance of services while the Safe Harbor Election remains effective. The General Partner shall be authorized to (and shall) prepare, execute, and file the Safe Harbor Election. The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to make any allocations of items of income, gain, loss, deduction or expense (including forfeiture allocations) necessary or appropriate to effectuate and maintain the Safe Harbor Election.

(a)    Each Limited Partner:

(i)    shall provide, in a timely manner, such information regarding the Limited Partner and its beneficial owners and such forms or documentation as may be requested from time to time by the General Partner or the Partnership to enable the Partnership to comply with the requirements and obligations imposed on it pursuant to AEOI;

(ii)    acknowledges that any such forms or documentation requested by the Partnership or its agents pursuant to clause (i), or any financial or account information with respect to the Limited Partner’s investment in the Partnership, may be disclosed to any Governmental Authority which collects information in accordance with AEOI and to any withholding agent where the provision of that information is required by such agent to avoid the application of any withholding tax on any payments to the Partnership;

(iii)    shall waive, and/or shall cooperate with the Partnership to obtain a waiver of, the provisions of any law which prohibits the disclosure by the Partnership, or by any of its agents, of the information or documentation requested from the Limited Partner pursuant to clause (i), prohibits the reporting of financial or account information by the Partnership or its agents required pursuant to AEOI or otherwise prevents compliance by the Partnership with its obligations under AEOI;

(iv)    acknowledges that, if it provides information and documentation that is in anyway misleading, or it fails to provide the Partnership or its agents with the requested information and documentation necessary, in either case, to satisfy the Partnership’s obligations under AEOI, the Partnership may (whether or not such action or inaction leads to compliance failures by the Partnership, or a risk of the Partnership or its investors being subject to withholding tax or other penalties under AEOI) take any action and/or pursue all remedies at its disposal, including compulsory withdrawal of the Limited Partner, and may hold back from any withdrawal proceeds, or deduct from the Limited Partner’s Capital Account, any liabilities, costs, expenses or taxes caused (directly or indirectly) by the Limited Partner’s action or inaction; and

(v)    shall have no claim against the Partnership, or its agents, for any form of damages or liability as a result of actions taken or remedies pursued by or on behalf of the Partnership in order to comply with AEOI.

(b)    The Limited Partner hereby indemnifies the General Partner and the Partnership and each of their respective partners, members, managers, officers, directors, employees and agents and holds them harmless from and against any AEOI-related liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages, expenses (including legal expenses), penalties or taxes whatsoever which such Person may incur as a result of any action or inaction (directly or indirectly) of such Limited Partner (or any Related Party) described in Section 3.7(a)(i) through (iv). This indemnification shall survive the Limited Partner’s death or disposition of its interests in the Partnership.

(a)    Appropriate reserves may be created, accrued and charged against the Operating Profit or Operating Loss for contingent liabilities, if any, as of the date any such contingent liability becomes known to the General Partner or as of each other date as the General Partner deems appropriate, such reserves to be in the amounts which the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate (whether or not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles). The General Partner may increase or reduce any such reserve from time to time by such amounts as the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate. The amount of any such reserve, or any increase or decrease therein, shall be proportionately charged or credited, as appropriate, to the Capital Accounts of those Persons who are Partners at the time when such reserve is created, increased or decreased, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective Points at such time; provided that the amount of such reserve, increase or decrease may instead be charged or credited to those Persons who were Partners at the time, as determined by the General Partner, of the act or omission giving rise to the contingent liability for which the reserve item was established in proportion to their respective Points at that time. The amount of any such reserve charged against the Capital Account of a Partner shall reduce the distributions such Partner would otherwise be entitled to under Section 4.1 or Section 8.1 hereof; and the amount of any such reserve credited to the Capital Account of a Partner shall increase the distributions such Partner would otherwise be entitled to under Section 4.1 or Section 8.1 hereof.

(b)    If at any time an amount is paid or received by the Partnership and such amount was not accrued or reserved for but would nevertheless, in accordance with the Partnership’s accounting practices, be treated as applicable to one or more prior periods, then such amount may be proportionately charged or credited by the General Partner, as appropriate, to those Persons who were Partners during such prior period or periods, based on each such Partner’s Points for such applicable period.

(c)    If any amount is required by Section 3.8(a) or (b) to be credited to a Person who is no longer a Partner, such amount shall be paid to such Person in cash, with interest from the date on which the General Partner determines that such credit is required at the Reference Rate in effect on that date. Any amount required to be charged pursuant to Section 3.8(a) or (b) shall be debited against the current balance in the Capital Account of the affected Partners. To the extent that the aggregate current Capital Account balances of such affected Partners are insufficient to cover the full amount of the required charge, the deficiency shall be debited against the Capital Accounts of the other Partners in proportion to their respective Capital Account balances at such time; provided that each such other Partner shall be entitled to a preferential allocation, in proportion to and to the extent of such other Partner’s share of any such deficiency, together with a carrying charge at a rate equal to the Reference Rate, of any Operating Profit that would otherwise have been allocable after the date of such charge to the Capital Accounts of the affected Partners whose Capital Accounts were insufficient to cover the full amount of the required charge. In no event shall a current or former Partner be obligated to satisfy any amount required to be charged pursuant to Section 3.8(a) or (b) other than by means of a debit against such Partner’s Capital Account.

All matters concerning the determination, valuation and allocation among the Partners with respect to any profit or loss of the Partnership and any associated items of income, gain, deduction, loss and credit, pursuant to any provision of this Article 3, including any accounting procedures applicable thereto, shall be determined by the General Partner unless specifically and expressly otherwise provided for by the provisions of this Agreement, and such determinations and allocations shall be final and binding on all the Partners.

(a)    The General Partner shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Partnership to distribute, on a quarterly basis, any available cash or property attributable to items included in the determination of Operating Profit and Book-Tax Difference, subject to the retention of such reserves as the General Partner considers appropriate for purposes of the prudent and efficient financial operation of the Partnership’s business including in accordance with Section 3.8. Any such distributions shall be made to the Limited Partners: in proportion to the respective Points of the Limited Partners, determined (i) in the case of any amount of cash or property received from any of the applicable Fund General Partners that is attributable to the disposition of a Portfolio Investment by the applicable Fund, as of the date of such disposition by such Fund, and (ii) in any other case, as of the date of receipt of such cash or property by the Partnership, in each case, as determined by the General Partner; provided, however, that any cash or other property that the General Partner determines is attributable to a Book-Tax Difference shall be distributed to the Limited Partners that are entitled to a share of such Book-Tax Difference pursuant to the definition of “Book-Tax Difference,” with any such distribution to be in the proportion that each such Limited Partner’s allocated share of the applicable Book-Tax Difference bears to the total Book-Tax Difference of the asset giving rise to the cash or property.

(b)    Distributions of amounts attributable to Operating Profit and Book-Tax Difference shall be made in cash; provided, however, that if the Partnership receives a distribution from a Fund General Partner in the form of property other than cash, the General Partner may distribute such property in kind to Partners in proportion to their respective Points.

(c)    Any distributions or payments in respect of the interests of Limited Partners unrelated to Operating Profit or Book-Tax Difference shall be made at such time, in such manner and to such Limited Partners as the General Partner shall determine.

(d)    (i)    Except as the General Partner otherwise may determine, any Limited Partner whose admission to the Partnership causes an adjustment to Carrying Values pursuant to the definition of “Carrying Value” (a “Newly-Admitted Limited Partner”) shall have the right to receive a special distribution of the Catch Up Amount. Any such special distribution of the Catch Up Amount shall be in addition to the distributions to which the Newly-Admitted Limited Partner is entitled pursuant to Section 4.1(a) and shall be made to the Newly-Admitted Limited Partner (or, if there is more than one such Newly-Admitted Limited Partner, pro rata to all such Newly-Admitted Limited Partners based on the aggregate amount of such distributions each such Newly-Admitted Limited Partner has not yet received), after the distribution of any amounts attributable to Book-Tax Differences pursuant to the proviso of Section 4.1(a), from amounts otherwise distributable to the other Limited Partners pursuant to Section 4.1(a), and shall reduce the amounts distributable to such other Limited Partners pursuant to Section 4.1(a), until each applicable Newly-Admitted Limited Partner has received an amount equal to the applicable Catch Up Amount. Any such Catch Up Amount shall be determined by the General Partner.

(ii)    The General Partner may determine to provide for a special distribution of a Catch Up Amount in connection with a reallocation of Points pursuant to Article 7 other than in connection with the admission to the Partnership of a Newly-Admitted

Limited Partner if the General Partner reasonably believes such an adjustment to Carrying Values is required in order for the Interest, as affected by the reallocation of Points, to continue to be treated as profits interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(iii)    Any reallocation of Points pursuant to Article 7 shall include the right to receive any Catch Up Amount associated with such Points.

(e)    Except as otherwise set forth in a Retired Partner’s Award Letter, provided that the Retired Partner has a positive number of Vested Points as of his Retirement Date, such Retired Partner shall receive his share of any distribution made pursuant to Section 4.1(a) with respect to which such Retired Partner received an allocation prior to his becoming a Retired Partner in accordance with Section 3.4, which distribution shall be made as if such Retired Partner had remained a Limited Partner, at the same time and in the same form as such distribution is made to the Limited Partners; provided that in no event shall such Retired Partner be entitled to receive an amount in excess of his Retirement Withdrawal Proceeds as determined under Section 7.3(b).

(f)    Cash or property that the General Partner determines is associated with Operating Profit that has been specially allocated to a Limited Partner shall be distributed to such Limited Partner.   The General Partner shall make such determinations regarding distributions of cash and property that it determines are associated with such special allocations as are necessary to ensure that the manner in which distributions are made is consistent with the purpose, and benefits and burdens, of such special allocations.

(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that all or a portion of the cash or property received by the Partnership from a GCP Intermediate Pooling Vehicle constitutes cash or property which the Partnership (or such GCP Intermediate Pooling Vehicle) is not entitled to receive pursuant to the governing documents of the applicable Fund General Partner or otherwise, then the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, cause the Partnership (or cause the general partner of such GCP Intermediate Pooling Vehicle to cause such GCP Intermediate Pooling Vehicle) to return such cash or property to such Fund General Partner, or otherwise make such adjustments as it deems necessary or advisable such that the Partnership (or such GCP Intermediate Pooling Vehicle) shall not receive the economic benefits associated with the receipt of such cash or property.

(a)    If the Partnership incurs a withholding or other tax obligation (a “Tax Obligation”) with respect to the share of Partnership income allocable to any Partner (including pursuant to section 6225 of the BBA Audit Rules), then the General Partner, without limitation of any other rights of the Partnership, may cause the amount of such Tax Obligation to be debited against the Capital Account of such Partner when the Partnership pays such Tax Obligation, and any amounts then or thereafter distributable to such Partner shall be reduced by the amount of such taxes. If the amount of such taxes is greater than any such then distributable amounts, then such Partner and any successor to such Partner’s interest shall indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership and the General Partner against, and shall pay to the Partnership as a contribution to the capital of the Partnership, upon demand of the General Partner, the amount of such excess.

(b)    If a Tax Obligation is required to be paid by the Partnership (including with respect to a tax liability imposed under section 6225 of the BBA Audit Rules) and the General Partner determines that such amount is allocable to the interest in the Partnership of a Person that is at such time a Partner, such Tax Obligation shall be treated as being made on behalf of or with respect to such Partner for purposes of this Section 4.2(b) whether or not the tax in question applies to a taxable period of the Partnership during which such Partner held an interest in the Partnership. To the extent that any liability with respect to a Tax Obligation (including a liability imposed under section 6225 of the BBA Audit Rules) relates to a former Partner that has withdrawn (including compulsorily pursuant to Section 3.7), sold, assigned, pledged, mortgaged, charged, or otherwise transferred all or a part of its interest in the Partnership, such former Partner (which in the case of a partial withdrawal, sale, assignment, pledge, mortgage, charge or other transfer shall include a continuing Partner with respect to the portion of its interests in the Partnership so withdrawn, sold, assigned, pledged, mortgaged, charged or transferred) shall indemnify the Partnership for its allocable portion of such liability, unless otherwise agreed to by the General Partner in writing. Each Partner acknowledges that, notwithstanding the sale, assignment, pledge, mortgage, charge, or other transfer of all or any portion of its interest in the Partnership, it may remain liable, pursuant to this Section 4.2(b), for tax liabilities with respect to its allocable share of income and gain of the Partnership for the Partnership’s taxable years (or portions thereof) prior to such sale, assignment, pledge, mortgage, charge, or other transfer, as applicable (including any such liabilities imposed under section 6225 of the BBA Audit Rules).

(c)    The General Partner may (i) withhold from any distribution to any Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) arrange the withholding from any distribution from any Co-Investors (A) Entity to such Limited Partner any other amounts due from such Limited Partner or a Related Party (without duplication) to the Partnership, any Co-Investors (A) Entity or to any other Affiliate of AGM pursuant to any binding agreement or published policy to the extent not otherwise paid. Any amounts so withheld shall be applied by the General Partner to discharge the obligation in respect of which such amounts were withheld.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Partnership, and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, shall not make a distribution to any Partner on account of his interest in the Partnership if such distribution would violate the Delaware Act or other applicable law.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the General Partner shall have complete and exclusive responsibility (i) for all management decisions to be made on behalf of the Partnership and (ii) for the conduct of the business and affairs of the Partnership.

(b)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the General Partner shall have full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform such contracts, agreements and other undertakings, and to engage in all activities and transactions, as it may deem necessary or advisable for, or as may be incidental to, the conduct of the business contemplated by this Section 5.1, including, without in any manner limiting the generality of the foregoing, contracts, agreements, undertakings and transactions with any Partner or with any other Person having any business, financial or other relationship with any Partner or Partners; provided that the General Partner shall not have authority to cause the Partnership to borrow any funds for its own account on a secured basis. The Partnership, and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, may enter into and perform the Fund GP Agreements and any documents contemplated thereby or related thereto and any amendments thereto, without any further act, vote or approval of any Person, including any Partner, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement. The General Partner is hereby authorized to enter into the documents described in the preceding sentence on behalf of the Partnership, but such authorization shall not be deemed a restriction on the power of the General Partner to enter into other documents on behalf of the Partnership. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law, all powers and authority vested in the General Partner by or pursuant to this Agreement or the Delaware Act shall be construed as being exercisable by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion.

(c)    With respect to all taxable years to which the TEFRA Audit Rules apply, the Tax Matters Partner shall be permitted to take any and all actions under the TEFRA Audit Rules (including making or revoking all applicable tax elections) and shall have any powers necessary to perform fully in such capacity, in consultation with the General Partner if the General Partner is not the Tax Matters Partner. With respect to all taxable years to which the BBA Audit Rules apply, the Partnership Representative shall be permitted to take any and all actions under the BBA Audit Rules (including making or revoking the election referred to in section 6226 of the BBA Audit Rules and all other applicable tax elections) and to act as the Partnership Representative thereunder, and shall have any powers necessary to perform fully in such capacity, in consultation with the General Partner if the General Partner is not the Partnership Representative. The General Partner shall (or shall cause another Applicable Tax Representative to) promptly inform the Limited Partners of any tax deficiencies assessed or proposed to be assessed (of which an Applicable Tax Representative or the General Partner is actually aware) by any taxing authority against the Partnership or the Limited Partners. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the acts of the General Partner (and with respect to applicable tax matters, any other Applicable Tax Representative) in carrying on the business of the Partnership as authorized herein shall bind the Partnership. Each Partner shall upon request supply the information necessary to properly give effect to any elections described in this Section 5.1(c) or to otherwise enable an Applicable Tax Representative to implement the provisions of this Section 5.1(c) (including filing tax returns,

defending tax audits or other similar proceedings and conducting tax planning). The General Partner shall notify the Limited Partners of the identity of the Applicable Tax Representative if a Person other than the General Partner is designated as the Applicable Tax Representative.

(d)    Each Partner agrees not to treat, on his United States federal income tax return or in any claim for a refund, any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit in a manner inconsistent with the treatment of such item by the Partnership. The General Partner shall have the exclusive authority to make any elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership under any provisions of the Code or any other laws.

(a)    Subject to Section 5.1, the General Partner may delegate to any Person or Persons any of the duties, powers and authority vested in it hereunder on such terms and conditions as it may consider appropriate.

(b)    Without limiting the generality of Section 5.2(a), the General Partner shall have the power and authority to appoint any Person, including any Person who is a Limited Partner, to provide services to and act as an employee or agent of the Partnership and/or General Partner, with such titles and duties as may be specified by the General Partner. Any Person appointed by the General Partner to serve as an employee or agent of the Partnership shall be subject to removal at any time by the General Partner; and shall report to and consult with the General Partner at such times and in such manner as the General Partner may direct.

(c)    Any Person who is a Limited Partner and to whom the General Partner delegates any of its duties pursuant to this Section 5.1(c) or any other provision of this Agreement shall be subject to the same standard of care, and shall be entitled to the same rights of indemnification and exoneration, applicable to the General Partner under and pursuant to Section 5.7, unless such Person and the General Partner mutually agree to a different standard of care or right to indemnification and exoneration to which such Person shall be subject.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the General Partner (or any Affiliate of the General Partner), when acting on behalf of the Partnership, is hereby authorized to (a) purchase property from, sell property to, lend money to or otherwise deal with any Affiliates, any Limited Partner, the Partnership, any of the Fund General Partners or Funds or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons, and (b) obtain services from any Affiliates, any Limited Partner, the Partnership, any of the Fund General Partners or Funds or any Affiliate of the foregoing Persons.

(a)    The Partnership shall bear all ordinary course costs and expenses arising in connection with the organization and operations of the Partnership.

(b)    Any withholding taxes payable by the Partnership, to the extent determined by the General Partner to have been paid or withheld on behalf of, or by reason of particular circumstances applicable to, one or more but fewer than all of the Partners, shall be allocated among and debited against the Capital Accounts of only those Partners on whose behalf such payments are made or whose particular circumstances gave rise to such payments in accordance with Section 4.2.

(a)    Limited Partners shall have no right to take part in the management, control or conduct of the Partnership’s business, nor shall they have any right or authority to act for the Partnership or to vote on matters other than as set forth in this Agreement or as required by applicable law.

(b)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the General Partner shall have the full and exclusive authority, without the consent of any Limited Partner, to compromise the obligation of any Limited Partner to make a capital contribution or to return money or other property paid or distributed to such Limited Partner in violation of the Delaware Act.

(c)    Nothing in this Agreement shall entitle any Partner to any compensation for services rendered to or on behalf of the Partnership as an agent or in any other capacity, except for any amounts payable in accordance with this Agreement.

(d)    Subject to the Fund LP Agreements and to full compliance with AGM’s code of ethics and other written policies relating to personal investment transactions, admission into the Partnership as a Limited Partner of the Partnership shall not prohibit a Limited Partner from purchasing or selling as a passive investor any interest in any asset.

Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the General Partner from engaging in any activity other than acting as General Partner hereunder.

(a)    The General Partner (including for this purpose each former and present director, officer, stockholder, partner, member, manager or employee of the General Partner), the Tax Matters Partner, the Partnership Representative, and each Limited Partner (including any former Limited Partner) in his capacity as such, and to the extent such Limited Partner participates, directly or indirectly, in the Partnership’s activities, whether or not a Retired Partner (each, a “Covered Person” and collectively, the “Covered Persons”), shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any of the other Partners for any loss, claim, damage, liability or expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”) occasioned by any acts or omissions in the performance of his services hereunder, unless it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (a “Final Adjudication”) that such Losses are due to an act or omission of a Covered Person (i) made in bad faith or with criminal intent or (ii) that adversely affected any Fund and that failed to satisfy the duty of care owed pursuant to the applicable Fund LP Agreement or as otherwise required by law.

(b)    A Covered Person shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law by the Partnership against any Losses incurred by or imposed upon him by reason of or in connection with any action taken or omitted by such Covered Person arising out of the Covered Person’s status as a Partner or his activities on behalf of the Partnership, including in connection with any action, suit, investigation or proceeding before any Governmental Authority to which it may be made a party or otherwise involved or with which it shall be threatened by reason of being or having been the General Partner, the Tax Matters Partner, the Partnership Representative, or a Limited Partner or by reason of serving or having served, at the request of any Fund General Partner, as a director, officer, consultant, advisor, manager, stockholder, member or partner of any enterprise in which any of the Funds has or had a financial interest, including issuers of Portfolio Investments; provided that the Partnership may, but shall not be required to, indemnify a Covered Person with respect to any matter as to which there has been a Final Adjudication that his acts or his failure to act (i) were in bad faith or with criminal intent or (ii) were of a nature that makes indemnification by the Funds unavailable. The right to indemnification granted by this Section 5.7 shall be in addition to any rights to which a Covered Person may otherwise be entitled and shall inure to the benefit of the successors by operation of law or valid assigns of such Covered Person. The Partnership shall pay the expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, investigation or proceeding in advance of the Final Adjudication of such action, suit, investigation or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the Covered Person to repay such payment if there shall be a Final Adjudication that he is not entitled to indemnification as provided herein. In any suit brought by the Covered Person to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder it shall be a defense that the Covered Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section 5.7, and in any suit in the name of the Partnership to recover expenses advanced pursuant to the terms of an undertaking the Partnership shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon Final Adjudication that the Covered Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section 5.7. In any such suit brought to enforce a right to indemnification or to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified, or to an advancement of expenses, shall be on the Partnership (or any Limited Partner acting derivatively or otherwise on behalf of the Partnership or the Limited Partners). The General Partner may not satisfy any right of indemnity or reimbursement granted in this Section 5.7 or to which it may be otherwise entitled except out of the assets of the Partnership (including insurance proceeds and rights pursuant to indemnification agreements), and no Partner shall be personally liable with respect to any such claim for indemnity or reimbursement. The General Partner may enter into appropriate indemnification agreements and/or arrangements reflective of the provisions of this Article 5 and obtain appropriate insurance coverage on behalf and at the expense of the Partnership to secure the Partnership’s indemnification obligations hereunder. Each Covered Person shall be deemed a third party beneficiary (to the extent not a direct party hereto) to this Agreement and, in particular, the provisions of this Article 5, may enforce any rights granted to it pursuant to this Agreement in its own right as if it were a party to this Agreement, and shall be entitled to the benefit of the indemnity granted to the Partnership by each of the Funds pursuant to the terms of the Fund LP Agreements.

(c)    To the maximum extent permitted by law, as among any portfolio company of a Fund, a Fund, the Fund General Partner of such Fund and the Partnership, this Section 5.7(c) shall be interpreted to reflect an ordering of liability for potentially overlapping or duplicative indemnification payments, in the following order: first, such portfolio company; second, such Fund; third, such Fund General Partner; and fourth, the Partnership (in each case, including any applicable insurance coverage that any such indemnitor maintains with respect to any such liability).

(d)    To the fullest extent permitted by law, to the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or the Partners, the Covered Person shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for his good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity to the Partnership or the Partners, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of each such Covered Person, save that the General Partner shall act at all times in good faith in accordance with the requirements of the Delaware Act.

(e)    To the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.7, the Partnership may but shall not be required to indemnify (i) a Retired Partner (or any other former Limited Partner) with respect to any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses arising from any conduct occurring more than six months after the date of such Person’s retirement (or other withdrawal or departure), or (ii) a Limited Partner with respect to any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses as a director, officer or agent of the issuer of any Portfolio Investment to the extent arising from conduct in such capacity occurring more than six months after the complete disposition of such Portfolio Investment by the applicable Fund.

(a)    The General Partner may at any time admit as an additional Limited Partner any Person who has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and may assign Points to such Person and/or increase the Points of any existing Limited Partner, in each case, subject to and in accordance with Section 7.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, an assignment of Points to a Limited Partner in one year shall not create an entitlement to, or an expectation of, an assignment or allocation of additional Points to such Limited Partner at any subsequent time.

(b)    Each additional Limited Partner shall execute either a counterpart to this Agreement or a separate instrument evidencing, to the satisfaction of the General Partner, such Limited Partner’s intent to become a Limited Partner, and shall be admitted as a Limited Partner upon such execution.

The General Partner may admit one or more additional general partners at any time without the consent of any Limited Partner. Any additional general partner shall be admitted as a general partner upon its execution of a counterpart signature page to this Agreement, or such other instrument satisfactory to the General Partner pursuant to which such Person undertakes and agrees to become a General Partner of the Partnership and to adhere to and be bound by the provisions of this Agreement on admission as a General Partner.

(a)    No voluntary Transfer of any Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership shall be valid or effective, and no transferee shall become a substituted Limited Partner. In the event of any involuntary Transfer, all of the conditions of the remainder of this Section 6.3 must be satisfied. Any interest in the Partnership that is the subject of a Transfer that does not satisfy the requirements of this Section 6.3 shall be immediately forfeited for no consideration.

(b)    A Limited Partner or his legal representative shall give the General Partner notice within 30 days after any involuntary Transfer, and shall provide sufficient information to allow legal counsel acting for the Partnership to make the determination that the proposed Transfer will not result in any of the following consequences:

(i)    require registration of the Partnership or any interest therein under any securities or commodities laws of any jurisdiction;

(ii)    result in a termination of the Partnership under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code or jeopardize the status of the Partnership as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes; or

(iii)    violate, or cause the Partnership, the General Partner or any Limited Partner to violate, any applicable law, rule or regulation of any jurisdiction.

(c)    If any Transfer shall result in multiple ownership of any Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership, the General Partner may require one or more trustees or nominees whose names will be entered in the Register of Partners, to be designated to hold the legal title to the interest and to represent the entire interest transferred for the purpose of receiving all notices which may be given and all payments which may be made under this Agreement, and for the purpose of exercising the rights which the transferees have pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. The Partnership shall not otherwise be required to recognize any trust or other beneficial ownership of any interest.

(d)    A transferee shall not be entitled to any rights of a Limited Partner other than to the allocations and distributions attributable to the economic interest in the Partnership transferred to such transferee. No transferee may become a substituted Limited Partner except with the prior written consent of the General Partner (which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner). Such transferee shall be admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner upon execution of a deed of adherence, in a form satisfactory to the General Partner, to this Agreement pursuant to which such transferee undertakes and agrees to become a Limited Partner of the Partnership and to adhere to and be bound by the provisions of this Agreement on admission as a Limited Partner. Notwithstanding the above, the Partnership and the General Partner shall incur no liability for allocations and distributions made in good faith to the transferring Limited

Partner until a written instrument of Transfer has been received and accepted by the Partnership and recorded on its books and the effective date of the Transfer has passed.

(e)    Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any successor or transferee of any Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership shall be bound by the provisions hereof. Prior to recognizing any Transfer in accordance with this Section 6.3, the General Partner may require the transferee to make certain representations and warranties to the Partnership and Partners and to accept, adopt and approve in writing all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(f)    In the event of a Transfer or in the event of a distribution of assets of the Partnership to any Partner, the Partnership, at the direction of the General Partner, may, but shall not be required to, file an election under Section 754 of the Code and in accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations, to cause the basis of the Partnership’s assets to be adjusted as provided by Section 734 or 743 of the Code.

(g)    The Partnership shall maintain books for the purpose of registering the Transfer of partnership interests in the Partnership. No Transfer of a partnership interest shall be effective until the Transfer of the partnership interest is registered by the General Partner on the Register of Partners.

(h)    Any Limited Partner which shall Transfer all of its interest in the Partnership shall cease to be a Limited Partner; provided that such Limited Partner shall remain liable to the Partnership as contemplated by Section 4.2(b) and shall, if requested by the General Partner, expressly acknowledge such liability in such agreements as may be entered into by such Limited Partner in connection with such Transfer.

A Partner in the Partnership may not withdraw from the Partnership prior to its dissolution unless so required by the General Partner pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i)(B). For the avoidance of doubt, any Limited Partner who transfers to a Related Party such Limited Partner’s entire remaining entitlement to allocations and distributions shall remain a Limited Partner, notwithstanding the admission of the transferee Related Party as a Limited Partner, for as long as the transferee Related Party remains a Limited Partner.

A Limited Partner shall not pledge or grant a security interest in such Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership.

(a)    Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall be responsible for the allocation of Points from time to time to the Limited Partners. The General Partner may allocate Points to a new Limited Partner and/or increase the Points of any existing Limited Partner at any time; provided that (i) if the General Partner or its designee determines that a Limited Partner has engaged in Bad Acts or violated any of his restrictive covenants in favor of AGM or any of its Affiliates, such Limited Partner’s Points shall be forfeited as of the date of such engagement or violation determined by the General Partner, and (ii) the allocation or reallocation of Points will be on such terms as are consistent with the treatment of the Points as profits interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Points constitute a “single” pool and entitle the holders hereof to share in all of the Operating Profit and Operating Loss of the Partnership, howsoever derived, on the terms and conditions set forth herein. As of the date hereof, sixty thousand (60,000) Points are reserved for allocation and such number of aggregate Points so reserved shall not be increased or reduced unless otherwise determined by the General Partner.

(b)    Unless otherwise agreed by the General Partner, as a condition to the continued holding by a Limited Partner of any Points, concurrently with the Partnership’s becoming a partner or member of any Fund General Partner after the date hereof, each such Limited Partner shall execute and deliver to the General Partner (or, to the extent provided in an Award Letter or Other Agreement, by filing an election under section 83(b) of the Code, consent to a power of attorney authorizing the General Partner to execute on the Limited Partner’s behalf) the following documents, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the General Partner: (A) a customary and standard guarantee or guarantees, for the benefit of such Fund’s investors, of such Limited Partner’s Clawback Share of the Partnership’s obligation to make Clawback Payments, and/or (B) a customary and standard undertaking to reimburse any Affiliate of AGM for any payment made by it that is attributable to such Limited Partner’s Clawback Share of any Clawback Payment.

(c)    Any change to a Limited Partner’s Points pursuant to this Agreement or such Limited Partner’s Award Letter shall apply on a prospective basis only, from and after the effective date of such change.

(d)    The General Partner shall maintain on the books and records of the Partnership a record of the number of Points allocated to each Partner and shall give notice to each Limited Partner of the number of such Limited Partner’s Points upon admission to the Partnership of such Limited Partner and promptly upon any change in such Limited Partner’s Points pursuant to this Article 7 and such notice shall include the calculations used by the General Partner to determine the amount of any such reduction.

(e)    Any Points that are forfeited under this Agreement or a Limited Partner’s Award Letter may be reallocated by the General Partner, in its sole discretion, to APH or any other Person or Persons. Unless otherwise provided by the General Partner, forfeited Points shall be deemed reallocated to APH.

(a)    A Limited Partner shall become a Retired Partner upon:

(i)    delivery to such Limited Partner of a notice by the General Partner (A) terminating such Limited Partner’s employment by AGM or an Affiliate thereof, unless otherwise determined by the General Partner or (B) requiring that such Limited Partner withdraw from the Partnership;

(ii)    delivery by such Limited Partner of at least 90 days’ prior written notice to the General Partner, AGM or an Affiliate thereof stating that such Limited Partner elects to resign from or otherwise terminate his employment by or service to AGM or an Affiliate thereof; or

(iii)    the death of the Limited Partner, whereupon the estate of the deceased Limited Partner shall be treated as a Retired Partner in the place of the deceased Limited Partner, or the Disability of the Limited Partner.

(b)    Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the General Partner to treat Retired Partners alike, and the exercise of any power or discretion by the General Partner in the case of any one such Retired Partner shall not create any obligation on the part of the General Partner to take any similar action in the case of any other such Retired Partner; it being understood that any power or discretion conferred upon the General Partner shall be treated as having been so conferred as to each such Retired Partner separately.

(a)    The consequences of a Limited Partner’s retirement on his Points shall be set forth in such Limited Partner’s Award Letter(s).

(b)    Except as otherwise set forth in a Limited Partner’s Award Letter, upon a Limited Partner’s becoming a Retired Partner, as of his Retirement Date, he shall automatically cease to be a Limited Partner and, unless such Limited Partner’s becoming a Retired Partner is as a result of his Bad Acts and unless he does not have a positive number of Vested Points as of his Retirement Date, shall be entitled to a payment in an amount equal to the balance of his Capital Account as of his Retirement Date (other than the portion of such Capital Account as is attributable to a Book-Tax Difference as of such date), as adjusted for any Operating Loss allocable to such Retired Partner pursuant to Section 3.4 (his “Retirement Withdrawal Proceeds”); provided that any such Book-Tax Difference that was recognized by such Retired Partner as taxable income or gain prior to his Retirement Date shall be included in his Retirement Withdrawal Proceeds. Such Retirement Withdrawal Proceeds will generally be paid at the same time as such amounts would otherwise have been distributed to such Retired Partner under Section 4.1 had such Retired Partner remained a Limited Partner; provided that the General Partner may (i) delay such payment if such delay is reasonably necessary to prevent such withdrawal from having a material adverse impact on the Partnership, any Fund or the remaining Partners, and (ii) hold back from any payments such reserves as the General Partner determines to be necessary or appropriate, including as provided in Section 7.3(c). Amounts paid to a Retired Partner will not be adjusted as a result of audit adjustments made after the final payment date relating to the Retirement Withdrawal Proceeds and will not earn interest for the period from such Retired Partner’s Retirement Date through the settlement date. The General Partner may deduct from any Retirement Withdrawal Proceeds due to any Retired Partner an amount representing the actual or estimated expenses of the Partnership associated with processing such withdrawal and any other amounts owed by the Retired Partner to the General Partner or its Affiliates whether under this Agreement or otherwise.

(c)    The right of any Retired Partner to receive distributions pursuant to Section 7.3(b) shall be subject to the provision by the General Partner for all liabilities of the Partnership and for reserves for contingencies.

(a)    The General Partner, except, where the General Partner is unable to perform this function, a liquidator elected by a majority in interest (determined by Points) of Limited Partners, shall commence the winding-up of the Partnership pursuant to the Delaware Act upon the occurrence of any Winding-Up Event. The General Partner or appointed liquidator shall terminate the business and administrative affairs of the Partnership and commence the liquidation of the Partnership’s assets.

(b)    Operating Profit and Operating Loss during the Fiscal Years that include the period of liquidation shall be allocated pursuant to Section 3.4. The proceeds from liquidation shall be distributed in the following manner:

(i)    first, the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership, including the expenses of liquidation (including legal and accounting expenses incurred in connection therewith), up to and including the date that distribution of the Partnership’s assets to the Partners has been completed, shall be satisfied (whether by payment or by making reasonable provision for payment thereof); and

(ii)    thereafter, the Partners shall be paid amounts in accordance with Article 4.

(c)    Anything in this Section 8.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, the General Partner or liquidator may distribute ratably in kind rather than in cash, upon the winding-up of the Partnership, any assets of the Partnership in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.1(b); provided that if any in kind distribution is to be made, the assets distributed in kind shall be valued as of the actual date of their distribution and charged as so valued and distributed against amounts to be paid under Section 8.1(b).

(d)    Upon completion of the winding-up of the Partnership in accordance with the terms hereof, the Partnership shall be dissolved by the filing of a certificate of cancellation of certificate of limited partnership of the Partnership with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the Delaware Act.

(a)    The General Partner may amend this Agreement (including Schedule I hereto) at any time, in whole or in part, without the consent of any Limited Partner by giving notice of such amendment to any Limited Partner whose rights or obligations as a Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement are changed thereby; provided that any amendment that (x) increases a Limited Partner’s obligation to contribute to the capital of the Partnership, or (y) increases such Limited Partner’s Clawback Share shall not be effective with respect to such Limited Partner, unless such Limited Partner consents thereto in advance in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner may amend this Agreement at any time, in whole or in part, without the consent of any Limited Partner to enable the Partnership to (i) comply with the requirements of the “Safe Harbor” Election within the meaning of the Proposed Revenue Procedure of Notice 2005-43, 2005-24 IRB 1, Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3(e)(1) or Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(xii) at such time as such proposed Procedure and Regulations are effective and to make any such other related changes as may be required by pronouncements or Treasury Regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service or Treasury Department after the date of this Agreement, (ii) enable, when applicable, the Partnership (or the Partnership Representative) to comply with the BBA Audit Rules or to make any elections or take any other actions available thereunder, and (iii) comply with applicable law; provided that any amendment pursuant to clause (i) that would cause a Limited Partner’s rights to allocations and distributions to suffer a material adverse change may be made only if the written consent of such Limited Partner is obtained prior to the effectiveness thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, an adjustment of Points shall not be considered an amendment.

(b)    Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 9.1(a), it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the General Partner on its own behalf or on behalf of the Partnership without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person may enter into one or more side letters or similar agreements (“Other Agreements”) with one or more Limited Partners which have the effect of establishing rights under, or altering or supplementing the terms of this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that any terms contained in an Other Agreement with one or more Limited Partners shall govern with respect to such Limited Partner or Limited Partners notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement. Any Other Agreements shall be binding upon the Partnership or the General Partner, as applicable, and the signatories thereto as if the terms were contained in this Agreement, but no such Other Agreement between the General Partner and any Limited Partner or Limited Partners and the Partnership shall adversely amend the contractual rights or obligations of any other Limited Partner without such other Limited Partner’s prior consent.

(c)    The provisions of this Agreement that affect the terms of any Co-Investors (A) Partnership Agreement applicable to Limited Partners constitute a “side letter or similar agreement” between each Limited Partner and the general partner of the applicable Co-Investors (A) Entity, which has executed this Agreement exclusively for purposes of confirming the foregoing.

(d)    Notwithstanding any term of this Agreement, the consent of or notice to any Person who is not a party to this Agreement shall not be required for any termination, rescission or agreement to any variation, waiver, assignment, novation, release or settlement under this Agreement at any time.

(a)    Each Partner hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the General Partner with full power of substitution, the true and lawful representative and attorney-in-fact, and in the name, place and stead of such Partner, with the power from time to time to make, execute, sign, acknowledge, swear to, verify, deliver, record, file and/or publish:

(i)    any amendment to this Agreement which complies with the provisions of this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 9.1);

(ii)    all such other instruments, documents and certificates which, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership, may from time to time be required by the laws of the State of Delaware, the United States of America, or any other jurisdiction, or any political subdivision or agency thereof, or which such legal counsel may deem necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement and continue the valid and subsisting existence and business of the Partnership as a limited partnership or partnership in which the limited partners thereof enjoy limited liability;

(iii)    any written notice or letter of resignation from any board seat or office of any Person (other than a company that has a class of equity securities registered under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or that is registered under the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), which board seat or office was occupied or held at the request of the Partnership or any of its Affiliates; and

(iv)    all such proxies, consents, assignments and other documents as the General Partner determines to be necessary or advisable in connection with any merger or other reorganization, restructuring or other similar transaction entered into in accordance with this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 9.6(c)).

(b)    Each Limited Partner is aware that the terms of this Agreement permit certain amendments to this Agreement to be effected and certain other actions to be taken or omitted by or with respect to the Partnership without his consent. If an amendment to this Agreement or any action by or with respect to the Partnership is taken by the General Partner in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, each Limited Partner agrees that, notwithstanding any objection which such Limited Partner may assert with respect to such action, the General Partner is authorized and empowered, with full power of substitution, to exercise the authority granted above in any manner which may be necessary or appropriate to permit such amendment to be made or action lawfully taken or omitted. Each Partner is fully aware that each other Partner will rely on the effectiveness of this special power-of-attorney with a view to the orderly administration of the affairs of the Partnership. This power-of-attorney is intended to secure an interest in property and, in addition, the obligations of each Limited Partner under this Agreement, and as such:

(i)    shall be irrevocable and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the subsequent death or incapacity of any party granting this power-of-attorney, regardless of whether the Partnership or the General Partner shall have had notice thereof; and

(ii)    shall survive any Transfer by a Limited Partner of the whole or any portion of its interest in the Partnership, except that, where the transferee thereof has been approved by the General Partner for admission to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner, this power- of-attorney given by the transferor shall survive such Transfer for the sole purpose of enabling the General Partner to execute, acknowledge and file any instrument necessary to effect such substitution.

Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing. A notice to the General Partner shall be directed to the attention of Leon D. Black with a copy to the general counsel of the Partnership. A notice to a Limited Partner shall be directed to such Limited Partner’s last known residence as set forth in the books and records of the Partnership or its Affiliates (a Limited Partner’s “Home Address”). A notice shall be considered given when delivered to the addressee either by hand at his Partnership office or electronically to the primary e-mail account supplied by the Partnership for Partnership business communications.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors by operation of law, but the rights and obligations of the Partners hereunder shall not be assignable, transferable or delegable except as expressly provided herein, and any attempted assignment, transfer or delegation thereof that is not made in accordance with such express provisions shall be void and unenforceable

To the fullest extent permitted by law and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or in any agreement contemplated herein or applicable provisions of law or equity or otherwise, whenever in this Agreement the General Partner is permitted or required to make a decision (a) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion,” the General Partner shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its and its Affiliates’ own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Partnership or any other Person, or (b) in its “good faith” or under another express standard, the General Partner shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard.

(a)    Subject to Section 9.6(b) and Section 9.6(c), the Partnership may merge or consolidate with or into one or more limited partnerships formed under any applicable law or other business entities under any applicable law pursuant to an agreement of merger or consolidation which has been approved by the General Partner.

(b)    Subject to Section 9.6(c), but notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, an agreement of merger or consolidation approved in accordance with Section 9.6(a) may, to the extent permitted by Section 9.6(a), (i) effect any amendment to this Agreement, (ii) effect the adoption of a new partnership agreement for the Partnership if it is the surviving or resulting limited partnership in the merger or consolidation, or (iii) provide that the partnership agreement of any other constituent limited partnership to the merger or consolidation (including a limited partnership formed for the purpose of consummating the merger or consolidation) shall be the partnership agreement of the surviving or resulting limited partnership.

(c)    The General Partner shall have the power and authority to approve and implement any merger, consolidation or other reorganization, restructuring or similar transaction without the consent of any Limited Partner, other than any Limited Partner with respect to which the General Partner has determined that such transaction will, or will reasonably be likely to, result in any material adverse change in the financial and other material rights of such Limited Partner conferred by this Agreement and any Other Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 9.1(b) or the imposition of any material new financial or other obligation on such Limited Partner. Subject to the foregoing, the General Partner may require one or more of the Limited Partners to sell, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of their interests in the Partnership in connection with any such transaction, and each Limited Partner shall take such action as may be directed by the General Partner to effect any such transaction.

(a)    This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of each and all of the Partners hereunder, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

(b)    Subject to Section 9.7(c), any dispute, controversy, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, will be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a single arbitrator in New York County, New York (applying Delaware law) in accordance with, and pursuant to, the applicable rules of JAMS (“JAMS”). The arbitration shall be conducted on a strictly confidential basis, and none of the parties shall disclose the existence of a claim, the nature of a claim, any documents, exhibits, or information exchanged or presented in connection with such a claim, or the result of any action, to any third party, except as required by law, with the sole exception of their legal counsel and parties engaged by that counsel to assist in the arbitration process, who also shall be bound by these confidentiality terms. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding upon the parties hereto. Any arbitral award may be entered as a judgment or order in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any party hereto may commence litigation in court to obtain injunctive relief in aid of arbitration, to compel arbitration, or to confirm or vacate an award, to the extent authorized by the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act or the New York Arbitration Act. The party that is determined by the arbitrator not to be the prevailing party will pay all of the JAMS’s administrative fees and the arbitrator’s fee and expenses. If neither party is so determined, such fees shall be shared. Each party shall be responsible for such party’s own attorneys’ fees. IF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE IS HELD INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE THEN, TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTNER AND THE PARTNERSHIP WAIVE AND COVENANT THAT THE PARTNER AND THE PARTNERSHIP WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER NOW OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AND AGREE THAT THE PARTNERSHIP OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY PARTNER MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTNERSHIP AND ITS AFFILIATES, ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE PARTNER, ON THE OTHER HAND, IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER BETWEEN SUCH PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT ANY PROCEEDING PROPERLY HEARD BY A COURT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

(c)    Nothing in this Section 9.7 will prevent the General Partner or a Limited Partner from applying to a court for preliminary or interim relief or permanent injunction in a judicial proceeding (e.g., injunction or restraining order to enforce any restrictive covenants against a Limited Partner), in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, if such relief from a court is necessary to preserve the status quo pending resolution or to prevent serious and irreparable injury in connection with any breach or anticipated breach of covenants to which a Limited Partner is subject; provided, however, that all parties explicitly waive all rights to seek preliminary, interim, injunctive or other relief in a judicial proceeding and all parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the forum described in Section 9.7(b) hereto, for any dispute or claim concerning continuing entitlement to distributions or other payments. For the purposes of this Section 9.7(c), each party hereto consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the state and federal courts within the County of New York in the State of New York.

Every right of action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement by or on behalf of any past, present or future Partner or the Partnership against any past, present or future Partner shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of the place where the action may be brought and irrespective of the residence of any such Partner, cease and be barred by the expiration of three years from the date of the act or omission in respect of which such right of action arises.

The provisions of this Agreement are intended only for the regulation of relations among Partners and between Partners and former or prospective Partners and the Partnership. Except with respect to the rights of Covered Persons hereunder, each of whom shall be an intended beneficiary and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of Section 5.7, this Agreement is not intended for the benefit of any Person who is not a Partner, and no rights are intended to be granted to any other Person who is not a Partner under this Agreement.

As soon as practicable after the end of each taxable year, the General Partner shall furnish to each Limited Partner (a) such information as may be required to enable each Limited Partner to properly report for United States federal and state income tax purposes his distributive share of each Partnership item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit for such year, and (b) a statement of the total amount of Operating Profit or Operating Loss for such year, including a copy of the United States Internal Revenue Service Schedule “K-1” issued by the Partnership to such Limited Partner, and a reconciliation of any difference between (i) such Operating Profit or Operating Loss and (ii) the aggregate net profits or net losses allocated by the Fund General Partners to the Partnership for such year.

The Partners hereby agree to take any measures necessary (or, if applicable, refrain from any action) to ensure that the Partnership is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement, as a deed, on the date first set forth above.
