AGREEMENT

ARTICLE 1 THE TRANSACTION

1.1 Subscription Interests. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement, at the Closing, the Subscriber hereby subscribes for 100% of the Class A Interest in the Partnership as of the Effective Time (the “Subscription Interests”) and agrees to make a Capital Commitment to the Partnership equal to (x) $417,607,542 (the “Purchase Price”) plus (y) the aggregate Unfunded Capital Commitments (as set forth on Schedule 2.06 of the Contribution Agreement under the column heading “Unfunded Capital Commitment”) (collectively, the “Aggregate Subscription Amount”) (as such Aggregate Subscription Amount may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement). The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that a capital contribution may be due at or shortly following the Closing, provided, however, that the General Partner shall provide the Subscriber with at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of any such required capital contribution.

1.2 Cash Adjustment Amounts. Class B Limited Partner Capital Contribution with respect to Distribution True-Up Amount. Simultaneously with the Closing, the Class B Limited Partner agrees to make a cash capital contribution in U.S. dollars to the Partnership in an amount equal to the Distribution True-Up Amount (if any), which cash capital contribution shall be in addition to the Class B Limited Partner’s other capital commitment obligations under the Partnership Agreement. The limited partners of the Partnership shall be entitled to receive a distribution of cash from the Partnership following the Closing of 100% of the Distribution True-Up Amount, which cash distribution shall be made pursuant to Section 7.8 of the Partnership Agreement.

(a) Class A Limited Partner Capital Contribution with respect to Contribution True-Up Amount. Within three (3) Business Days following the Closing Date (or simultaneously with the Closing if the Subscriber is given at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of the Contribution True-Up Amount), the Subscriber agrees to make a cash capital contribution in U.S. dollars to the Partnership in an amount equal to the Contribution True-Up Amount, which cash capital contribution shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the Subscriber’s unfunded capital commitment obligations under the Partnership Agreement. The Class B Limited Partner shall be entitled to receive a priority distribution of cash from the Partnership on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 7.8(a) of the Partnership Agreement following the contribution by the Subscriber of the Contribution True-Up Amount, which cash distribution shall be senior in priority to any other distribution to the limited partners of the Partnership.

(b) Calculation of Distribution True-Up Amount and Contribution True-Up Amount. The Class B Limited Partner and the Subscriber agree to jointly calculate the Distribution True-Up Amount and the Contribution True-Up Amount in good faith; however, in the event of an error in calculating Distribution True-Up Amount and/or the Contribution True-Up Amount is discovered by any of the General Partner, the Successor General Partner, the Class B Limited Partner or the Subscriber following the Closing, each party agrees to provide notice of such error to the other parties promptly following such party’s knowledge or discovery of such

error and the parties agree to recalculate in good faith the Distribution True-Up Amount and the Contribution True-Up Amount, as applicable, to eliminate such error.

(c) Recalculation of Distribution True-Up Amount. In the event of a recalculation of the Distribution True-Up Amount, the Class B Limited Partner and the Partnership agree to true-up between themselves to reflect the correct Distribution True-Up Amount (e.g., if the revised Distribution True-Up Amount is greater than the Distribution True-Up Amount determined as of the Closing, then the Class B Limited Partner shall make an additional cash capital contribution to the Partnership in an amount equal to the difference) and, to the extent that the Partnership is required to make a payment to the Class B Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 1.2(c), the limited partners of the Partnership will be required to return the excess distributions received by them with respect to the Distribution True-Up Amount in the same ratio as such limited partners received such distribution.

(d) Recalculation of Contribution True-Up Amount. In the event of a recalculation of the Contribution True-Up Amount, the Subscriber and the Partnership agree to true up between themselves to reflect the correct Contribution True-Up Amount (e.g., if the revised Contribution True-Up Amount is greater than the Contribution True-Up Amount determined as of the Closing, then the Subscriber shall make an additional cash capital contribution to the Partnership in an amount equal to the difference) and, to the extent that the Partnership is required to make a payment to the Subscriber pursuant to this Section 1.2(d), the Class B Limited Partner will be required to return the excess distributions received by it with respect to the Contribution True-Up Amount.

(e) Netting of True-Up Amounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that Contribution True-Up Amount and the Distribution True-Up Amount payable in connection with the Closing may be netted, with such net amount payable by Subscriber or the Class B Limited Partner (as applicable) in accordance with this Section 1.2, provided that there is appropriate documentation to evidence that the full Contribution True-Up Amount and Distribution True-Up Amount then due has been fully paid by the applicable limited partner for all purposes.

(f) Treatment of Securities and Non-Cash Proceeds. Any securities and other non-cash proceeds received by the Class B Limited Partner between June 30, 2012 (the “Valuation Date;” provided that, with respect to the REDACTED, “Valuation Date” shall mean December 31, 2011) and the Closing Date as an in kind distribution from a Fund shall be retained by the Class B Limited Partner (i.e., not contributed to the Partnership) and shall be included in the calculation of the Distribution True-Up Amount based on the value assigned to such securities by the applicable Fund at the time of distribution thereof to the Class B Limited Partner.

(g) Foreign Currency Exchange. The amount of any foreign currency denominated capital contributions made or foreign currency denominated cash distributions received by the Class B Limited Partner with respect to the Funds after the Valuation Date shall be converted to U.S. dollars using the average of the buy and sell exchange rates for such foreign currency reported by Bloomberg, L.P. as of 5:00 p.m. in New York, New York on the day such amount was paid or received.

(h) Transfer Expenses. All Transfer Expenses shall be borne by the Partnership and the Partnership shall reimburse the Class B Limiter Partner and the Subscriber for any such expenses incurred by them.

8.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement (other than the Basic

Representations (as hereinafter defined)) shall survive the Closing and expire on the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date. The Basic Representations shall survive the Closing until liquidation of the Partnership.

8.2 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Class B Limited Partner. The Class B Limited Partner shall indemnify and hold the Subscriber, and its employees, partners and agents, acting as such, harmless from and against all damages, losses, claims, suits, proceedings, liabilities, costs and expenses (including settlement costs, interest, penalties, reasonable attorney’s fees and any reasonable legal or other expenses for investigation or defense of any actions or threatened actions) (collectively, “Damages”) suffered or paid, directly or indirectly, by the Subscriber arising out of (i) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Class B Limited Partner in this Agreement or the Transaction Agreements; (ii) any failure by the Class B Limited Partner to perform any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement or the Transaction Agreements; or (iii) the Class B Limited Partner’s ownership of any Interests prior to the effective date of the transfer of such Interests to the Partnership, other than any Excluded Giveback Amount (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), including liabilities for taxes, charges, fees, periodic deposits and other amounts (including interest and penalties) determined to be due to any governmental entity or other third party prior to the effective date of the transfer of such Interest to the Partnership.

(b) Indemnification by the Subscriber. The Subscriber shall indemnify and hold the Class B Limited Partner, and its directors, officers, employees, and agents, acting as such, harmless from and against all Damages suffered or paid, directly or indirectly, by Class B Limited Partner arising out of (i) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Subscriber in this Agreement or the Transaction Agreements; (ii) any failure by the Subscriber to perform any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement or the Transaction Agreements; or (iii) the failure by the Subscriber to perform any of its obligations under the Fund Agreements or Delayed Fund Agreements as assumed pursuant to this transaction.

(i) If a person entitled to assert a claim for indemnification under this Agreement shall receive notice of the assertion by any person not a party to this Agreement of any claim or of the commencement of any action or proceeding (a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which any party is obligated to provide indemnification, the indemnified party (the “Indemnitee”) shall give the indemnifying party (the “Indemnitor”) prompt written notice after becoming aware of the Third Party Claim. The failure of the Indemnitee to give notice as provided in this Section 8.2 shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations for indemnification under this Agreement, except to the extent that the failure has materially and adversely affected the rights of the Indemnitor. The notice from the Indemnitee shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail.

(ii) An Indemnitor may elect to compromise or defend, at the Indemnitor’s own expense and by the Indemnitor’s own counsel, any Third Party Claim. If an Indemnitor elects to compromise or defend a Third Party Claim, it shall, within thirty (30) days

(or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires), notify the Indemnitee of its intent to do so, and Indemnitee shall cooperate in the compromise of, or defense against, the Third Party Claim. The Indemnitor shall pay the Indemnitee’s actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its cooperation. After notice from an Indemnitor to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal fees and expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim; provided that Indemnitee shall have the right to employ one counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (if more than one jurisdiction is involved) to represent Indemnitee if, in the Indemnitee’s reasonable judgment, a conflict of interest between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor (or its counsel) exists in respect of the Third Party Claim, and in that event the fees and expenses of the separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnitor. If an Indemnitor elects not to defend against a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election as provided in this Paragraph, the Indemnitee may pay, compromise or defend the Third Party Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnitor. No Indemnitor shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, except with the written consent of each related Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), which provides for anything other than money damages or other money payments for which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or which does not contain as an unconditional term the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect of the Third Party Claim.

(iii) If there is a reasonable likelihood that a Third Party Claim may materially and adversely affect an Indemnitee, other than as a result of money damages or other money payments for which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee will have the right, after consultation with the Indemnitor and at the cost and expense of the Indemnitor, to defend the Third Party Claim.

(d) Procedure for Non Third Party Claims. With respect to any claim for indemnification under this Agreement which does not result from a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the Indemnitee within which to respond to the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor does not respond within the thirty (30) day period, the Indemnitor shall be deemed to have accepted responsibility to make payment, and shall have no further right to contest the validity of the claim. If the Indemnitor does respond within the thirty (30) day period and rejects the claim in whole or in part, the Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnitee under applicable law.

(e) Reduction of Claim or Loss. If the amount of any claim or loss shall, at any time subsequent to payment pursuant to this Agreement, be reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise, the amount of the reduction, less any expenses incurred in connection therewith, shall promptly be repaid by the Indemnitee to the related Indemnitor.

(f) Limits on Indemnification.

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Contribution Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Class B Limited Partner, the General Partner and the Partnership shall not be obligated to provide indemnification for Damages in respect of claims made by the Subscriber

under this Article 8 and Section 5.02 of the Contribution Agreement unless the total of all such Damages shall exceed five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.00) in the aggregate, whereupon the total amount of such Damages from the first dollar shall be recoverable by the Subscriber in accordance the terms hereof, and (ii) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnification that Subscriber may recover under both this Article 8 and Section 5.02 of the Contribution Agreement from the Class B Limited Partner, the General Partner and the Partnership shall not exceed ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00).

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 8.2(f)(i), (A) the Subscriber’s sole remedy with respect to a breach of the Title Representations with respect to a Fund Investment shall be to elect to have such Fund Investment treated as an Excluded Interest (to the extent such Fund Investment has not been contributed to the Partnership) or to require that the Class B Limited Partner acquire such Fund Investment from the Partnership for an amount equal to (A) the Contribution True-Up Amount paid with respect to such Fund Investment plus any amounts funded by the Class A Limited Partner under Section 4.2(a)(ii) of the Partnership Agreement (which amounts shall be solely distributable to the Class A Limited Partner) plus (B) any amounts funded by the Class B Limited Partner under Section 4.2(a)(ii) of the Partnership Agreement (which amount shall be solely distributable to the Class B Limited Partner) (an amount equal to any distributions received by each of the Class A Limited Partner or Class B Limited Partner from the Partnership under Section 7.5 of the Partnership Agreement solely with respect to Distributions received by the Partnership with respect to such Fund Investment, shall be credited against each of the amounts calculated under clause (A) or clause (B)), and (B) with respect to a breach of the Commitment Representations with respect to a Fund Investment, the Subscriber’s sole remedy shall be to request that the Class B Limited Partner provide the Subscriber with an corrected copy of Schedule 2.06 of the Contribution Agreement and, if such error resulted in the actual capital commitment of the Class B Limited Partner with respect to a Fund Investment being greater than such capital commitment as set forth on Schedule 2.06 of the Contribution Agreement, the Class B Limited Partner shall be responsible for any contributions to the Partnership to the extent of any such additional capital commitment obligation following the contribution by the Subscriber of its Capital Commitment to the Partnership.

(g) Remedies Exclusive. Subject to Section 9.9, the remedies provided in this Article 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Damages or other claims relating to or arising from this Agreement (but this Article 8 shall not limit the terms, provisions, or obligations of the applicable parties under the Partnership Agreement).

(h) No Consequential Damages. Neither the Class B Limited Partner no Subscriber shall be liable to each other for consequential or punitive, special, indirect or incidental Damages or special damages in connection with its indemnification obligations under this Article 8, except to the extent payments in respect of such indemnification obligations are for Damages owed by an indemnified party to a third party.
