The General Partner hereby admits each of the Limited Partners who made the Initial New TMM Contribution and the Second Initial New TMM Contribution (as such terms are defined in the Reorganization Agreement dated as of [            ], 2013) and who is a party to this Agreement as a Limited Partner prior to the end of the first fiscal year of the Partnership as established pursuant to Section 9.1 for Canadian tax purposes, and effective thereafter hereby admits each of the other Limited Partners who is a party to this Agreement as Limited Partners and the General Partner, the Initial Limited Partner and the Limited Partners hereby amend and restate the Original Agreement in its entirety on the terms of this Agreement. The Initial Limited Partner hereby withdraws as a limited partner of the Partnership immediately following the admission of the Limited Partners pursuant to this Section 2.7 and hereby and thereafter shall have no further rights, liabilities or obligations under or in respect of this Agreement.

 

3. PARTNERSHIP, CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND UNITS.

3.1 Partners. The Limited Partners of the Partnership shall be listed on Exhibit 3.1, as from time to time amended and supplemented in accordance with this Agreement. The Partnership shall maintain a current list of Limited Partners, the total amount of Capital Contributions made by each such Limited Partner, the number and Class of Units held by such Limited Partner and each Limited Partner’s Capital Account balance. The Partnership will also maintain a current list of the number of each Management Limited Partner’s Unvested Common Units and Vested Common Units.

3.2 Limited Partner Interests and Units. The Interests of the Limited Partners of the Partnership shall be divided into Units. The “Common Units” shall initially be the only Class of Units. Each “Common Unit” shall represent an Interest in the Partnership, shall be designated as a Common Unit of the Partnership and shall be entitled to the Distributions provided for in Article 5 except as provided in Section 3.3 with respect to the Unvested Common Units. No fractional Units shall be issued. In lieu of any fractional Units, a Limited Partner otherwise entitled to a fractional interest in a Unit, shall receive the nearest whole number of Units (with fractions equal to exactly 0.5 being rounded up).

3.3 Unvested Common Units. Unvested Common Units shall be subject to the terms of the MI Plan and applicable Management Rollover Agreements, and the General Partner shall have sole and absolute discretion to interpret and administer the MI Plan and Management Rollover Agreements and to adopt such amendments thereto or otherwise determine the terms and conditions of such Unvested Common Units in accordance with this Agreement and the

 

- 9 -


applicable Management Rollover Agreements. Except as set forth in Article 5, distributions shall not be made in respect of Unvested Common Units. Unvested Common Units that fail to vest and are forfeited by the applicable Management Limited Partner shall be cancelled by the Partnership (along with the Interest that such Unvested Common Units represent and the corresponding shares of Class B Common Stock) and shall no longer be entitled to any Distributions. The Partnership shall treat a Management Limited Partner holding an Unvested Common Unit as the owner of such Unit, and the Partnership shall file its IRS Form 1065, and the Partnership shall issue appropriate Schedule K-1s, if any, to such Management Limited Partner, allocating to such Management Limited Partner its distributive share of all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit associated with such Unvested Common Unit as if it were fully vested. Each Management Limited Partner agrees to take into account such distributive share in computing its U.S. federal income tax liability for the entire period during which it holds any Unvested Common Unit. The Partnership and each Limited Partner agree not to claim a deduction (as wages, compensation or otherwise) for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes the fair market value of any Unvested Common Unit issued to a Management Limited Partner, whether at the time of grant of the Unit or at the time the Unit becomes a Vested Common Unit. Each recipient of an Unvested Common Unit (whether issued on or after the date hereof) agrees to timely and properly file an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to each Unvested Common Unit and provide the General Partner with a copy of such election.

3.4 Specific Limitations. Without the consent of the General Partner, TPG Cayman and Oaktree Cayman, in each case solely to the extent such Person, directly or indirectly (through a direct or indirect ownership interest in any Limited Partner other than through ownership of TMHC Common Stock), then has an ownership interest in Units or Interests in the Partnership, no Limited Partner shall have the right or power to: (a) withdraw or reduce its Capital Contribution except as provided by the ELP Law or in this Agreement, (b) make voluntary Capital Contributions or contribute any property to the Partnership other than cash, (c) bring an action for partition against the Partnership or any Partnership assets, (d) except as provided by the ELP Law, cause the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership, or (e) require that property other than cash be distributed upon any Distribution.

3.5 Additional Partners and Units.

(a) The General Partner may issue Units or Interests in the Partnership (including other Classes thereof having different rights) and admit Limited Partners in exchange for such contributions to capital (including commitments to make contributions to capital) or such other consideration (including past or future services) and on such terms and conditions (including vesting and forfeiture provisions) as the General Partner determines. Promptly following the issuance of Units or Interests, the General Partner shall cause the books and records of the Partnership to reflect the number of Units or Interests issued, any Limited Partners or additional Limited Partners holding such Units or Interests and, in the case of Units or Interests issued other than solely in connection with the performance of services, the Capital Contribution per Unit or Interest. Upon the execution of a deed of adherence, an amendment to this

 

- 10 -


Agreement or an assumption agreement, together with any other documents or instruments required by the General Partner in connection therewith, and the making of the Capital Contribution (if any) specified to be made at such time, a Person shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time TMHC issues a share of its Class A Common Stock (including in the IPO) or any other Equity Security of TMHC (other than shares of Class B Common Stock), (i) the Partnership shall issue to TMHC one Common Unit (if TMHC issues a share of Class A Common Stock), or such other Equity Security of the Partnership (if TMHC issues Equity Securities other than Class A Common Stock) corresponding to the Equity Securities issued by TMHC, and with substantially the same rights to dividends and distributions (including distributions upon liquidation) and other economic rights as those of such Equity Securities of TMHC and (ii) the net proceeds received by TMHC with respect to the corresponding share of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Security, if any, shall be concurrently transferred to the Partnership; provided, however, that if TMHC issues any shares of Class A Common Stock (including in the IPO) or other Equity Securities some or all of the net proceeds of which are to be used to fund expenses or other obligations of TMHC for which TMHC would be permitted a cash distribution pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 5.1(d), then TMHC shall not be required to transfer such net proceeds to the Partnership which are used or will be used to fund such expenses or obligations; provided, further, that if TMHC issues any shares of Class A Common Stock in order to purchase or fund the purchase from a Limited Partner of a number of Common Units (together with shares of Class B Common Stock) equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock so issued, then the Partnership shall not issue any new Common Units in connection therewith and TMHC shall not be required to transfer such net proceeds to the Partnership (it being understood that such net proceeds shall instead be transferred to such Limited Partner as consideration for such purchase). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.5(b) shall not apply to the issuance and distribution to holders of shares of TMHC Common Stock of rights to purchase Equity Securities of the TMHC under a “poison pill” or similar shareholders rights plan (it being understood that upon exchange of Common Units for Class A Stock, such Class A Stock will be issued together with a corresponding right), or to the issuance under TMHC’s employee benefit plans of any warrants, options, other rights to acquire Equity Securities of TMHC or rights or property that may be converted into or settled in Equity Securities of TMHC, but shall in each of the foregoing cases apply to the issuance of Equity Securities of TMHC in connection with the exercise or settlement of such rights, warrants, options or other rights or property. Except for transactions pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, (x) the Partnership may not issue any additional Common Units to TMHC, any Subsidiary of TMHC or any Person of whom TMHC directly or indirectly owns Equity Securities unless substantially simultaneously TMHC issues or sells an equal number of shares of TMHC’s Class A Common Stock to another Person, and (y) the Partnership may not issue any other Equity Securities of the Partnership to TMHC, any Subsidiary of TMHC or any Person of whom TMHC directly or indirectly owns Equity Securities unless substantially simultaneously TMHC issues or sells, to another Person, an equal number of shares of a new class or series of Equity Securities of TMHC with substantially the same rights to dividends and distributions (including distributions upon liquidation) and other economic rights as those of such Equity Securities of the Partnership.

 

- 11 -


(c) TMHC may not redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Class A Common Stock (including upon forfeiture of any unvested shares of Class A Common Stock) unless substantially simultaneously the Partnership redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires from TMHC an equal number of Common Units for the same price per security and TMHC may not redeem or repurchase any other Equity Securities of TMHC unless substantially simultaneously the Partnership redeems or repurchases from TMHC an equal number of Equity Securities of the Partnership of a corresponding class or series with substantially the same rights to dividends and distributions (including distributions upon liquidation) and other economic rights as those of such Equity Securities of TMHC for the same price per security. The Partnership may not redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any Common Units from TMHC unless substantially simultaneously TMHC redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock for the same price per security from holders thereof, and the Partnership may not redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any other Equity Securities of the Partnership from TMHC unless substantially simultaneously TMHC redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires for the same price per security an equal number of Equity Securities of TMHC of a corresponding class or series with substantially the same rights to dividends and distributions (including distribution upon liquidation) and other economic rights as those of such Equity Securities of TMHC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any consideration payable to TMHC in connection with the redemption or repurchase of any shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Securities of TMHC consists (in whole or in part) of shares of Class A Common Stock or such other Equity Securities (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the cashless exercise of an option or warrant), then the redemption or repurchase of the corresponding Common Units or other Equity Securities of the Partnership shall be effectuated in an equivalent manner. TMHC may not authorize, declare or pay any dividends or distributions in respect of its Class A Common Stock unless substantially simultaneously the Partnership authorizes, declares and pays the same dividend or distribution pursuant to Section 5.1(b) or Section 5.1(c) in respect of its Common Units.

(d) The Partnership shall not in any manner effect any subdivision (by any stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the outstanding Common Units unless accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination, as applicable, of the outstanding TMHC Common Stock with corresponding changes made with respect to any other exchangeable or convertible securities. TMHC shall not in any manner effect any subdivision (by any stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the outstanding TMHC Common Stock unless accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination, as applicable, of the outstanding Common Units, with corresponding changes made with respect to any other exchangeable or convertible securities.

 

- 12 -


3.6 Capital Contributions. Each Limited Partner’s Capital Contribution, if any, whether in cash or in-kind, and the number of Units or other Interests issued to such Limited Partner shall be as set forth in Exhibit 3.1 or in the agreement executed by the General Partner pursuant to which such Units were issued to such Limited Partner. Any in-kind Capital Contributions shall be effected by a written assignment or such other documents as the General Partner shall direct. Any Limited Partner making an in-kind Capital Contribution agrees from time to time to take such further acts and execute such further documents as the General Partner may direct to perfect the Partnership’s interest in such in-kind Capital Contribution.

3.7 Certification. In the event that certificates representing Units or other Interests in the Partnership are issued, such certificates will bear the following legend:

“THE UNITS OR OTHER INTERESTS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON [DATE OF ISSUANCE], HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS (“STATE ACTS”) AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR STATE ACTS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE TRANSFER OF THE UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN AN AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF EXEMPTED LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, DATED [—], 2013, AS IT MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, GOVERNING THE ISSUER (THE “PARTNERSHIP”) AND BY AND AMONG THE PARTNERS. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT SHALL BE FURNISHED BY THE PARTNERSHIP TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE.”

3.8 Disposition Events.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a Disposition Event is approved in accordance with the Stockholders Agreement and consummated in accordance with applicable law, at the request of the Partnership (or following such Disposition Event, its successor) or TMHC (or following such Disposition Event, its successor), each of the Limited Partners shall be required to exchange with TMHC, at any time and from time to time after, or simultaneously with, the consummation of such Disposition Event, all of such Limited Partner’s Common Units and shares of Class B Common Stock for aggregate consideration for each Common Unit and corresponding share of Class B Common Stock that is equal to the consideration payable in respect of each share of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Disposition Event,

 

- 13 -


provided, however, that in the event of a Disposition Event intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or as a transfer described in Section 351(a) or Section 721 of the Code, a Limited Partner shall not be required to exchange Common Units or shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to this Section 3.8(a) unless either (i) TPG Cayman and Oaktree Cayman collectively hold less than [5]% of the Common Units and shares of Class B Common Stock that were held by TPG Cayman and Oaktree Cayman immediately prior to the IPO (after giving effect to any unit or stock split, reverse unit or stock split, unit or stock distribution or dividend or similar event) or (ii) as a part of such transaction, the Limited Partners are permitted to exchange their Common Units and shares of Class B Common Stock for securities in a transaction that is expected to permit such exchange without current recognition of gain or loss, for U.S. and non-U.S. tax purposes, for the direct and indirect holders of Common Units and shares of Class B Common Stock (except to the extent that property other than securities is received in such exchange) based on a “should” or “will” level opinion from independent tax counsel of recognized standing and expertise.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in a Disposition Event where the consideration payable in such Disposition Event is other than all-cash, if such Disposition Event is consummated in a manner that results in TMHC no longer directly holding Common Units, the new holder of such Common Units (the “Acquiror”) shall (i) become a Limited Partner and shall assume all of TMHC’s obligations under this Agreement as set forth in Article 11 and (ii) issue to each Limited Partner (other than the Acquiror) an equity interest in such Acquiror that is equivalent in all respects to each share of Class B Common Stock held by such Limited Partner, including, without limitation, equivalent rights in respect of each such equity interest as those rights set forth in the Exchange Agreement in respect of each share of Class B Common Stock.

3.9 Tender Offers and Other Events with Respect to TMHC. In the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer bid, take-over bid, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to TMHC Common Stock (a “TMHC Offer”) is proposed by TMHC or is proposed to TMHC or its stockholders and approved by the board of directors of TMHC or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the consent or approval of the board of directors of TMHC, the holders (other than TMHC) of Common Units and shares of Class B Common Stock shall be permitted to participate in such TMHC Offer by delivery of a contingent Election of Exchange (as defined in the Exchange Agreement). In the case of a TMHC Offer proposed by TMHC, TMHC will use its reasonable best efforts expeditiously and in good faith to take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit the holders (other than TMHC) of Common Units and shares of Class B Common Stock to participate in such TMHC Offer to the same extent or on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock without discrimination; provided that, without limiting the generality of this sentence, TMHC will use its reasonable best efforts expeditiously and in good faith to ensure that such holders of Common Units may participate in each such TMHC Offer without being required to exchange Common Units and shares of Class B Common Stock (or, if so required, to ensure that any such exchange shall be effective only upon, and shall

 

- 14 -


be conditional upon, the closing of such TMHC Offer and only to the extent necessary to exchange the number of Common Units and shares being repurchased). Nothing in this Section 3.8 shall affect the rights of the Limited Partners under the Exchange Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in all events, tendering holders of Common Units and shares of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive aggregate consideration for each Common Unit and corresponding share of Class B Common Stock that is equal to the consideration payable in respect of each share of Class A Common Stock in connection with a TMHC Offer.

3.10 Record Date. The same record date shall apply in respect of the Common Units, the shares Class B Common Stock and the shares of Class A Common Stock for purposes of any shareholder vote by TMHC, any distribution or dividend by the Partnership or TMHC or any other purpose for which a record date is declared by either the Partnership or TMHC.

 

4. CAPITAL ACCOUNTS.

4.1 Capital Accounts. A separate account (each, a “Capital Account”) shall be established and maintained for each Limited Partner which:

(a) shall be increased by (i) the amount of any Capital Contribution by such Limited Partner to the Partnership and (ii) such Limited Partner’s share of the Net Profit (or items thereof) of the Partnership; and

(b) shall be reduced by (i) the amount of any Distribution to such Limited Partner, (ii) proceeds distributed upon redemption of Common Units by the Partnership and (iii) such Limited Partner’s share of the Net Loss (or items thereof) of the Partnership.

In determining the amount of any liability for purposes of sub-clauses (a)(i) and (b)(i), there shall be taken into account Code Section 752 and any other applicable provisions of the Code and Regulations. It is the intention of the Limited Partners that the Capital Accounts of the Partnership be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 704(b) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder and that this Agreement be interpreted consistently therewith. The Capital Account balance for each Limited Partner as of the date hereof shall be listed on Exhibit 3.1, as from time to time amended and supplemented in accordance with this Agreement.

4.2 Revaluations of Assets and Capital Account Adjustments. Except upon the prior written consent of the General Partner, TPG Cayman and Oaktree Cayman, in each case solely to the extent such Person, directly or indirectly (through a direct or indirect ownership interest in any Limited Partner other than through ownership of TMHC Common Stock), then has an ownership interest in Units or Interests in the Partnership, immediately preceding the issuance of additional Units in exchange for cash, other property, or services to a new or existing Limited Partner or upon the redemption of the Interest of a Limited Partner or the liquidation of the Partnership, the then prevailing Asset Values of the Partnership shall be adjusted to equal their respective gross Fair Value and any

 

- 15 -


increase in the net equity value of the Partnership (Asset Values less Liabilities) shall be credited to the Capital Accounts of the Limited Partners in the same manner as Net Profits are credited under Section 5.5(b) (or any decrease in the net equity value of the Partnership shall be charged in the same manner as Net Losses are charged under Section 5.5(b)). Accordingly, as of any time Asset Values are adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.2, the Capital Accounts of Limited Partners will reflect both realized and unrealized gains and losses through such date and the net equity value of the Partnership as of such date.

4.3 Additional Capital Account Provisions. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Partnership and any Limited Partner, no Limited Partner shall have the right to demand a return of all or any part of such Limited Partner’s Capital Contributions. Any return of the Capital Contributions of any Limited Partner shall be made solely from the assets of the Partnership and only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. No interest shall be paid to any Limited Partner with respect to such Limited Partner’s Capital Contributions or Capital Account. In the event that all or a portion of the Units of a Limited Partner are transferred in accordance with this Agreement, the transferee of such Units shall also succeed to all or the relevant portion of the Capital Account of the transferor (based on the ratio of the number of Units held by the transferor immediately before the transfer to the number of Units transferred, as applicable), and shall be treated as having made any Capital Contributions, and received any Distributions, made or received with respect to such transferred Units while such Units were held by the transferor. Units held by a Limited Partner may not be transferred independently of the Interest to which the Units relate.

 

5. DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS OF PROFIT AND LOSS.

5.1 Distributions.

(a) Tax Distributions. To the extent the Partnership has available cash for Distribution by the Partnership under the ELP Law and subject to any applicable agreement to which the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries is a party governing the terms of indebtedness for borrowed money and subject to the retention and establishment of reserves, or payment to third parties, of such funds as the General Partner deems necessary or desirable in its sole discretion with respect to the reasonable needs and obligations of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to make, on an annual basis or more frequently as determined by the General Partner, a distribution to each Limited Partner or former Limited Partner equal to such Limited Partner’s or former Limited Partner’s Tax Distribution for each Fiscal Year. The “Tax Distribution” for a Limited Partner or former Limited Partner for a Fiscal Year is the amount determined by the General Partner to be sufficient such that such amount, together with any other distributions made to such Limited Partner or former Limited Partner during such Fiscal Year, is at least equal to the amount of the Limited Partner’s or former Limited Partner’s U.S. federal, state and local income taxes, with respect to the Limited Partner’s or former Limited Partner’s allocable share (including for the avoidance of doubt any gain or loss allocable to a Partner as the result of the application of Code Section 704(c)) of any Partnership net taxable income and

 

- 16 -


gain for such fiscal period, determined (i) after taking into account any tax deductions or basis adjustments arising under Code Section 743 in respect of such Limited Partner and (ii) by assuming (without regard to such Limited Partner’s actual tax liability) that such income or gain, as applicable, is taxable to the Limited Partner, with respect to Common Units, at the greater of (x) the highest marginal U.S. federal income tax rate then in effect (including any tax on “net investment income”), and a state and local income tax rate equal to the highest marginal rate then in effect for an individual or (if higher) a corporation that is a resident of San Francisco, California, and (y) the highest combined provincial and federal income tax rate applicable to an individual or (if higher) a corporation that is a resident of Canada and is subject to tax in the province of Canada that has the highest income tax rate, in each case taking into account the character of such income or gain (such greater amount as of any applicable date of determination, the “Assumed Tax Rate”). For purposes of applying this Section 5.1(a), the General Partner may treat a distribution made by the 90th day following the end of a Fiscal Year as occurring during such Fiscal Year (and not the Fiscal Year in which it is in fact made). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tax Distributions for a fiscal year with respect to a Common Unit will be made to the Limited Partner or former Limited Partner to whom income is allocated with respect to such Common Unit for U.S. income tax purposes.

(b) Distribution of Net Cash Flow. Subject to Section 5.1(a) and Section 5.1(c), any applicable agreement to which the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries is a party governing the terms of indebtedness for borrowed money and the retention and establishment of reserves, or payment to third parties, of such funds as the General Partner deems necessary or desirable in its sole discretion with respect to the reasonable needs and obligations of the Partnership, the net cash flow of the Partnership may be distributed to the Limited Partners at such times as may be determined by the General Partner from time to time in its sole discretion. Except as specifically set forth herein and subject to Section 5.1(a), Section 5.1(c) and Section 3.3, all Distributions shall be made ratably among the Common Unit Holders, based on the number of Common Units owned by such holders.

(c) Distributions to Management Limited Partners holding Unvested Units. Notwithstanding Section 5.1(b), a Management Limited Partner holding an Unvested Common Unit shall only be entitled to receive a distribution in respect of such Unvested Common Unit in an amount equal to the Tax Distributions with respect to such Unvested Unit in accordance with this Section 5.1(c). The Partnership shall maintain in a segregated account any other amounts that were otherwise distributable to each Management Limited Partner in respect of each Unvested Common Unit that were not distributed as a result of this Section 5.1(c). After the end of each Fiscal Year, the Partnership shall distribute to each such Management Limited Partner an amount equal to the aggregate amount previously distributable under Section 5.1(b), with respect to each Unvested Common Unit that shall have become a Vested Common Unit as of the end of such Fiscal Year held by such Management Limited Partner (determined without giving effect to the first sentence of this Section 5.1(c)).

 

- 17 -


(d) Distributions to TMHC. Notwithstanding Section 5.1(b), the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may authorize that (i) cash be distributed to TMHC (which distribution shall be made without pro rata distributions to the other Common Unit Holders) in exchange for the redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of TMHC’s Common Units to the extent that such cash distribution is used to redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.5(b), and (ii) cash be distributed to TMHC (which distributions shall be made without pro rata distributions to the other Common Unit Holders) as required for TMHC to pay (A) operating, administrative and other similar costs incurred by TMHC, (B) any judgments, settlements, penalties, fines or other costs and expenses in respect of any claims against, or any litigation or proceedings involving, TMHC, (C) fees and expenses related to any securities offering, investment or acquisition transaction (whether or not successful) authorized by the board of directors of TMHC and (D) other fees and expenses in connection with the maintenance of the existence of TMHC (including any costs or expenses associated with being a public company listed on a national securities exchange). For the avoidance of doubt, distributions under this Section 5.1(d) may not be used to pay or facilitate dividends or distributions on the TMHC Common Stock.

(e) Erroneous Distributions. If the Partnership has, pursuant to any clear and manifest accounting or similar error, paid any Limited Partner an amount in excess of the amount to which it is entitled pursuant to this Article 5, such Limited Partner shall reimburse the Partnership to the extent of such excess, without interest, within 30 days after demand by the Partnership.

5.2 No Violation. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Partnership shall not make a Distribution to any Limited Partner on account of such Limited Partner’s Interest in the Partnership if such Distribution would violate the ELP Law or any other applicable law.

5.3 Withholding; Tax Indemnity. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax law with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation to a Limited Partner, or which the Partnership is otherwise obligated to pay to any governmental agency because of the status of a Limited Partner of the Partnership (including any interest, penalties and expenses associated with such payments), shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Limited Partner for all purposes of this Agreement. The General Partner is authorized to withhold from any payments or distributions to Limited Partners, or with respect to allocations to Limited Partners, and in each case to pay over to the appropriate U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. government any amounts required to be so withheld. The General Partner shall allocate any such amounts to the Limited Partners in respect of whose payment, distribution or allocation the tax was withheld and shall treat such amounts as actually distributed to such Limited Partners. Each Limited Partner further agrees to indemnify the Partnership in full for any amounts paid pursuant to this Section 5.3 (including any interest, penalties and expenses associated with such payments), to the extent such amounts are not already withheld from any payment or distribution to such Limited Partner, and each Limited Partner shall

 

- 18 -


promptly upon notification of an obligation to indemnify the Partnership pursuant to this Section 5.3 make a cash payment to the Partnership equal to the full amount to be indemnified (and the amount paid shall be added to such Limited Partner’s Capital Account but shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution) with interest to accrue on any portion of such cash payment not paid in full when requested, calculated at a rate equal to 10% per annum, compounded as of the last day of each year (but not in excess of the highest rate per annum permitted by law).

5.4 Property Distributions and Installment Sales. If any assets of the Partnership shall be distributed in kind pursuant to this Article 5, such assets shall be distributed to the Limited Partners entitled thereto in accordance with Section 5.1(b). The amount by which the Fair Value of any property to be distributed in kind to the Limited Partners exceeds or is less than the then prevailing Asset Value of such property shall, to the extent not otherwise recognized by the Partnership, be taken into account in determining Net Profit and Net Loss and determining the Capital Accounts of the Limited Partners as if such property had been sold at its Fair Value immediately prior to such Distribution. If any assets are sold in transactions in which, by reason of Section 453 of the Code, gain is realized but not recognized, such gain shall be taken into account when realized in computing gain or loss of the Partnership for purposes of allocation of Net Profit or Net Loss under this Article 5.

5.5 Net Profit or Net Loss.

(a) The “Net Profit” or “Net Loss” of the Partnership for each Fiscal Year or relevant part thereof shall mean an amount equal to the Partnership’s taxable income or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes for such period (including all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Section 703(a)(1) of the Code) with the following adjustments:

(i) Any income of the Partnership that is exempt from U.S. federal income tax shall constitute Net Profits, and any expenses or expenditures of the Partnership which may neither be deducted nor capitalized for tax purposes (or are so treated for tax purposes) shall constitute Net Losses.

(ii) Gain or loss attributable to the disposition of property of the Partnership with an Asset Value different than the adjusted basis of such property for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be computed with respect to the Asset Value of such property, and any tax gain or loss not included in Net Profit or Net Loss shall be taken into account and allocated for U.S. federal income tax purposes among the Limited Partners pursuant to Section 5.7.

(iii) Depreciation, amortization or cost recovery deductions with respect to any property with an Asset Value that differs from its adjusted basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be computed in accordance with Asset Value, and any depreciation allowable for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be allocated in accordance with Section 5.7.

 

- 19 -


(iv) To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 732, 734 or 743 of the Code is required to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the amount of such adjustment shall be treated as an item of gain or loss (as the case may be) for purposes of computing Net Profit or Net Loss.

(v) Any items that are required to be specially allocated pursuant to Section 5.6 shall not be taken into account in determining Net Profit or Net Loss.

(b) The Net Profit and Net Loss of the Partnership for any relevant fiscal period or, to the extent necessary to accomplish the purpose of this Section 5.5(b), gross items of income, gain, deduction, and loss constituting such Net Profit and Net Loss, shall be allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Limited Partners so as to cause, to the extent possible, the Capital Accounts of the Limited Partners as of the end of such fiscal period, as increased by the Limited Partners’ shares of “minimum gain” and “partner minimum gain” (as such terms are used in Regulation Section 1.704-2) not otherwise required to be taken into account in such period, to be equal to the aggregate Distributions that Limited Partners would be entitled to receive (assuming all Units are vested) if all of the assets of the Partnership were sold for their Asset Values (assuming for this purpose only that the Asset Value of an asset that secures a non-recourse liability for purposes of Section 1.1001-2 of the Regulations is no less than the amount of such liability that is allocated to such asset in accordance with Section 1.704-2(d)(2) of the Regulations), all liabilities of the Partnership were repaid from the proceeds of sale and the net remaining proceeds were distributed as of the end of such accounting period in accordance with Section 5.1(b).

(c) The allocations made pursuant to this Section 5.5 are intended to comply with the provisions of Section 704(b) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder and, in particular, to reflect the Limited Partners’ economic interests in the Partnership as set forth in Section 5.1, and the General Partner, based on the advice of the Partnership’s auditors or tax counsel, is hereby authorized to interpret and, if necessary, modify this Section 5.5 to the extent necessary to implement such intention.

5.6 Regulatory Allocations. Although the Limited Partners do not anticipate that events will arise that will require application of this Section 5.6, provisions governing the allocation of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction and credit (and items thereof) are included in this Agreement as may be necessary to provide that the Partnership’s allocation provisions contain a so-called “Qualified Income Offset” and comply with all provisions relating to the allocation of so-called “Nonrecourse Deductions” and “Limited Partner Nonrecourse Deductions” and the chargeback thereof as set forth in the Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code (“Regulatory Allocations”); provided, however, that the Limited Partners intend that all Regulatory Allocations that may be required shall be offset by other Regulatory Allocations or special allocations of tax items so that each Limited Partner’s share of the Net Profit, Net Loss and capital of the Partnership will be the same as it would have been had the events requiring the Regulatory Allocations not occurred. For this purpose the General Partner, based on the advice

 

- 20 -


of the Partnership’s auditors or tax counsel, is hereby authorized to make such special curative allocations of tax items as may be necessary to minimize or eliminate any economic distortions that may result from any required Regulatory Allocations.

5.7 Tax Allocations.

(a) Contributed Assets. In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the Partnership with an adjusted basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes different from the initial Asset Value at which such property was accepted by the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Limited Partners so as to take into account such difference in the manner required by Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable Regulations.

(b) Revalued Assets. If the Asset Values of any assets of the Partnership are adjusted pursuant to Section 4.2, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such assets shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Limited Partners so as to take into account such adjustment in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable Regulations.

(c) Elections and Limitations. The allocations required by this Section 5.7 are solely for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect the allocation of Net Profits or Net Losses as between Limited Partners or any Limited Partner’s Capital Account. All tax allocations required by this Section 5.7 shall be made using any method permitted by Regulation 1.704-3 as determined by the General Partner, with the advice of the Partnership’s auditors or tax counsel.

(d) Allocations. Except as set forth in this Agreement or otherwise required by law, all items of income, deduction, loss and credit shall be allocated for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes in the same manner such items are allocated for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts.

5.8 Changes in Partners’ Interests. If during any year there is a change in any Partner’s Interest in the Partnership, the General Partner shall confer with the tax advisors to the Partnership and, in conformity with such advice, allocate the Net Profit or Net Loss to the Partners so as to take into account the varying Interests of the Partners in the Partnership in a manner that complies with the provisions of Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder; provided that where the transferor or transferee of such Interest is TPG Cayman or Oaktree Cayman, such allocation of Net Profit and Net Loss shall be based on an interim closing of the books of the Partnership as of the date of transfer, unless such transferor or transferee consents to an alternative allocation method.

5.9 Allocation for Canadian Tax Purposes. The income and loss for Canadian tax purposes of the Partnership for a Fiscal Year shall be computed pursuant to Section 96

 

- 21 -


of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any other taxation or other legislation or similar laws of Canada or of any province or jurisdiction, as applicable. Each Limited Partner’s share of the income or loss for tax purposes of the Partnership for a Fiscal Year shall be allocated to Limited Partners consistent with this Section 5; provided, that where, during a Fiscal Year of the Partnership, a Limited Partner ceases to be a Limited Partner (a “Withdrawing Partner”), the share of the income or loss for such Fiscal Year to be allocated to each Limited Partner shall be adjusted to the extent possible so that any such Withdrawing Partner shall be allocated its share of income or loss which accrued during such Fiscal Year up to the time that a Limited Partner became a Withdrawing Partner, and such allocation shall be made consistent with this Section 5.

5.10 No Duty to Account. The Limited Partners who are not TMHC or Subsidiaries of TMHC shall have no duty to account to the Partnership or other Partners in respect of any profits deriving from activities outside of the Partnership.

 

6. STATUS, RIGHTS AND POWERS OF LIMITED PARTNERS.

6.1 Return of Distributions of Capital. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or as otherwise expressly required by law, a Limited Partner, in such capacity, shall have no liability for obligations or liabilities of the Partnership in excess of (a) the amount of such Limited Partner’s Capital Contributions, (b) such Limited Partner’s share of any assets and undistributed profits of the Partnership and (c) to the extent required by law or this Agreement, the amount of any Distributions wrongfully distributed to such Limited Partner. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or by the ELP Law upon an insolvency of the Partnership, no Limited Partner shall be obligated by this Agreement to return any Distribution to the Partnership or pay the amount of any Distribution for the account of the Partnership or to any creditor of the Partnership; provided, however, that if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding this Agreement, any Limited Partner is obligated to return or pay any part of any Distribution, such obligation shall bind such Limited Partner alone and not any other Limited Partner and provided, further, that if any Limited Partner is required to return all or any portion of any Distribution under circumstances that are not unique to such Limited Partner but that would have been applicable to all Limited Partners (or all similarly situated Limited Partners) if such Limited Partners had been named in the lawsuit against the Limited Partner in question (such as where a Distribution was made to all Limited Partners and rendered the Partnership insolvent, but only one Limited Partner was sued for the return of such Distribution), the Limited Partner that was required to return or repay the Distribution (or any portion thereof) shall be entitled to reimbursement from the other Limited Partners (or the other similarly situated Limited Partners as the case may be) that were not required to return the Distributions made to them based on each such Limited Partner’s share of the Distribution in question. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence are solely for the benefit of the Limited Partners and shall not be construed as benefiting any third party. The amount of any Distribution returned to the Partnership by a Limited Partner or paid by a Limited Partner for the account of the Partnership or to a creditor of the Partnership shall be added to the account or accounts from which it was subtracted when it was distributed to such Limited Partner.

 

- 22 -


6.2 No Management or Control. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Limited Partner in its capacity as such shall take part in the management of the Partnership’s activities or interfere in any manner with the management of the affairs of the Partnership or have any right or authority to act for or bind the Partnership or have any voting rights with respect to the Partnership.

 

7. MANAGEMENT OF THE PARTNERSHIP.

7.3 Execution of Papers. Except as the General Partner may generally or in particular cases authorize the execution thereof in some other manner, all deeds, leases, transfers, contracts, bonds, notes, cheques, drafts or other obligations made, accepted or endorsed by the General Partner for on behalf of the Partnership shall be signed by a director or officer of the General Partner.

8.1 Officers, Agents. The General Partner shall have the power, but no obligation, to appoint officers and agents to act for the Partnership with such titles, if any, as the General Partner deems appropriate and to delegate to such officers or agents such of the powers as are granted to the General Partner hereunder, including the power to execute documents on behalf of the Partnership, as the General Partner may determine. The officers so appointed may include persons holding titles such as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President, Vice President, Treasurer or Controller. Unless the authority of the officer in question is limited in the document appointing such officer or is otherwise specified by the General Partner, any officer so appointed shall have the same authority to act for the Partnership as a corresponding officer of the General Partner would have to act for the General Partner in the absence of a specific delegation of authority and as more specifically set forth in Exhibit 8.1; provided, however, that unless such power is specifically delegated to the officer in question either for a specific transaction or generally in a separate writing, no such officer shall have the power to lease or acquire real property, to borrow money, to issue notes, debentures, securities, equity or other interests of or in the Partnership, to make investments in (other than the investment of surplus cash in the ordinary course) or to acquire securities of any Person, to give guarantees or indemnities, to merge, liquidate or dissolve the Partnership or to sell or lease all or any substantial portion of the assets of the Partnership.

 

9. BOOKS, RECORDS, ACCOUNTING AND REPORTS.

9.1 Books and Records. The Partnership shall maintain at its principal office or such other office as the General Partner shall determine such books and records with respect to the Partnership’s activities as the General Partner deems appropriate in accordance with the ELP Law. For Canadian tax purposes, the first Fiscal Year of the Partnership will end immediately after the Second Initial New TMM Contribution (as such term is defined in the Reorganization Agreement dated as of [    ], 2013, by and among the Partnership and certain other parties, pursuant to which, among other things, this Agreement is entered into) and a new Fiscal Year will begin immediately after such time and end on the calendar year end.

9.2 Tax Information. The Tax Matters Partner shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all income and other tax and informational returns of the Company. As soon as practicable (but in no event more than 55 days) after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Tax Matters Partner shall prepare and submit to the General Partner for its review and approval the Partnership’s tax returns for such Fiscal Year. The Tax Matters Partner shall furnish to each Partner a copy of each approved return and statement, together with any schedules or other information which each Limited Partner has reasonably requested or may otherwise require in connection with such Limited Partner’s own tax affairs as soon as practicable (but in no event more than 60 days after the end of each Fiscal Year). In addition, the Tax Matters Partner (a) has as of the date hereof informed each Limited Partner in writing (1) of the current adjusted basis and fair market value, each for U.S. federal income tax purposes, of each of the assets of the Partnership (which includes, for the avoidance of doubt, the stock of TMHI and Monarch) and (2) which of those assets are “United States real property interests” within the meaning of Code Section 897 (and

 

- 25 -


identifying whether such assets are described in Code Section 897(c)(1)(A)(i) or 897(c)(1)(A)(ii)) (the “USRPI Information”) and (b) will promptly provide in writing upon the request of a Limited Partner (but in no event more than 10 days after such request is made) the USRPI Information relating to the Partnership as of a given date and such other requested information to assist such Limited Partner in completing its tax withholding and other compliance obligations (including pursuant to Code Section 1446).

9.3 Continuation. The parties intend that the Partnership be treated as a “continuation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes of TMM and shall not (other than with the consent of the General Partner) take a position inconsistent therewith on a tax return except upon a final determination by an applicable taxing authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Partnership shall file an election described in Treasury Regulation Section  ###-###-####-3 to be classified, as of a date no later than the date hereof, as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and any similar election under state, local or non-U.S. law), and it shall not file any election to be classified as other than a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

9.4 Non-Disclosure.

(a) Each Limited Partner (other than TMHC) (on behalf of itself and, to the extent that such Limited Partner would be responsible for the acts of the following Persons under principles of agency law, its directors, officers, Affiliates, shareholders, partners, employees and agents) agrees that, except as otherwise consented to by the General Partner, all non-public information relating to the Partnership furnished to such Limited Partner, including but not limited to confidential information of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries regarding identifiable, specific and discrete business opportunities being pursued by the Partnership or its Subsidiaries (collectively, “Confidential Information”) will be kept confidential, will not be used for commercial or proprietary advantage and will not be disclosed by such Limited Partner (or, to the extent that such Limited Partner would be responsible for the acts of the following Persons under principles of agency law, its directors, officers, Affiliates, shareholders, partners, employees and agents) in any manner, in whole or in part, except that each Limited Partner (and its directors, officers, Affiliates, shareholders, partners, employees and agents) shall be permitted to disclose such Confidential Information (i) to those of its respective agents, Representatives and employees who need to be familiar with such Confidential Information in connection with such Limited Partner’s investment in the Partnership and who are charged with an obligation of confidentiality, (ii) to its respective direct and indirect partners and equity holders so long as they agree to keep such Confidential Information confidential on the terms set forth herein, (iii) with respect to an Affiliate of TPG Cayman or Oaktree Cayman, as part of such Limited Partner’s or its Affiliates’ reporting or review procedures, or in connection with such Limited Partner’s or its Affiliates’ fund raising, marketing, informational or reporting activities, (iv) for general portfolio information that does not identify the Partnership or its Subsidiaries and (v) to the extent required by law, so long as such Limited Partner shall have first provided the Partnership a reasonable opportunity to contest the necessity of disclosing such Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Partner and each of his,

 

- 26 -


her, or its Representatives may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment, tax strategies and tax structure of the Partnership and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Partner and his, her, or its Representatives relating to such tax treatment, tax strategies and tax structure. Each Partner agrees that he, she or it will be responsible for any breach or violation of the provisions of this Section 9.3(a) by any Person receiving Confidential Information from such Partner.

(b) For purposes of this Section 9.3, “Confidential Information” shall not include any information: (i) of which such Person (or its Affiliates) became aware prior to its affiliation with the Partnership or any Subsidiary thereof from a source not known to be bound by duty or obligations of confidentiality to the Partnership, (ii) of which such Person (or its Affiliates) learns from sources other than the Partnership or its Subsidiaries not known to be bound by duty or obligations of confidentiality to the Partnership, whether prior to or after such information is actually disclosed by the Partnership or its Subsidiaries, or (iii) which is disclosed in a prospectus or other documents available for dissemination to the public. Nothing in this Section 9.3 shall in any way limit or otherwise modify any confidentiality covenants entered into by any Limited Partner pursuant to any other agreement to which such Limited Partner and the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries are parties.

 

10. TAX MATTERS PARTNER.

10.1 Classification as a Partnership and Other Tax Matters. It is intended that the Partnership will be classified as a partnership for U.S. and Canadian federal tax purposes. The General Partner and/or the Tax Matters Partner are authorized to take such measures as they deem necessary or appropriate to ensure such classification, and all other Partners agree to reasonably cooperate with such measures. Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the General Partner and/or the Tax Matters Partner shall also be authorized to make any elections, filings and determinations for the Partnership (or enter into any agreements for or on behalf of the Partnership) with respect to taxes (except any election, filing or determination that would cause the Partnership to be treated other than as a partnership for U.S. and Canadian federal tax purposes) and all Partners hereby agree to promptly provide any information reasonably requested by the General Partner and/or the Tax Matters Partner in respect of such tax matters (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any information reasonably requested in connection with ensuring the Partnership’s compliance under Sections 1471-1474 of the Code) and compliance with the Income Tax Act (Canada).

10.2 Tax Matters Partner. Unless and until another Partner is designated as the tax matters partner by the General Partner, the tax matters partner of the Partnership as provided in the Regulations under Code Section 6231 and any analogous provisions of state law shall be the General Partner, and in such capacity is referred to as the “Tax Matters Partner”. Without the prior consent of the General Partner, any Person other than the General Partner that serves as the Tax Matters Partner may not in such capacity (a) settle disputes with the Internal Revenue Service, (b) extend the statute of limitations for any taxes or (c) take any other significant action affecting the tax liability of the Partnership or the Partners.

 

- 27 -


10.3 Indemnity of Tax Matters Partner. The Partnership shall indemnify and reimburse, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Tax Matters Partner for all expenses (including legal and accounting fees) incurred as Tax Matters Partner while acting in good faith pursuant to this Article 10 in connection with any administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to the tax liability of the Limited Partners attributable to their interests in the Partnership.

10.4 Tax Returns. Unless otherwise agreed by the General Partner, all tax returns of the Partnership shall be prepared by the Partnership’s independent certified public accountants.

 

11. TRANSFER OF INTERESTS.

11.1 Restricted Transfer.

(a) No Limited Partner shall Transfer any Units without the prior written consent of the General Partner, and such of TPG Cayman and Oaktree Cayman as, directly or indirectly (through a direct or indirect ownership interest in any Limited Partner other than through ownership of TMHC Common Stock), then has an ownership interest in Units or Interests in the Partnership. Any attempted Transfer not in compliance with the terms of this Article 11 shall be null and void and the Partnership shall not in any way give effect to any such Transfer, provided that (i) a Management Limited Partner may Transfer any of such Management Limited Partner’s Vested Common Units to any Management Permitted Transferee thereof if such Transfer is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Article 11 and the Management Permitted Transferee agrees to assume the obligations of the applicable Management Rollover Agreement and (ii) any Limited Partner may at any time Transfer any of such Limited Partner’s Common Units (except for Unvested Common Units) pursuant to the Exchange Agreement without the consent of the General Partner or any Limited Partner, and the Partnership shall give effect to each such Transfer.

(b) Any Limited Partner who shall Transfer any Units (any such Partner, an “Assignor”) in accordance with this Article 11, shall cease to be a Limited Partner of the Partnership with respect to such Units and shall no longer have any rights or privileges of a Limited Partner with respect to such Units (but shall still be bound by this Agreement in accordance with this Article 11).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Transfer will be made if, in the opinion of legal counsel or a qualified tax advisor to the Partnership, there is a material risk that such Transfer would cause the Partnership to be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Code Section 7704(b) and/or Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1.

 

- 28 -


(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no change of name of a Limited Partner, no Transfer of a Unit of a Limited Partner and no admission of an additional Limited Partner will be effective for the purposes of this Agreement until such change, Transfer, substitution or addition is duly reflected in Exhibit 3.1.

11.2 Transfer Requirements. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.1 and except for Transfers of Units pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, no Transfer of Units shall be effective and no Assignee shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Partner unless the following conditions are satisfied or such conditions are waived by the General Partner:

(a) A duly executed written instrument of Transfer is provided to the General Partner, specifying the Units being Transferred and setting forth the intention of the Limited Partner effecting the Transfer that the transferee succeed to a portion or all of such Limited Partner’s Interest as a Limited Partner, and a deed of adherence or assumption agreement duly executed by the transferee agreeing to be bound by this Agreement in respect of the Units Transferred;

(b) If requested by the General Partner, an opinion of responsible counsel (who may be counsel for the Partnership) is provided to it, satisfactory in form and substance to the General Partner to the effect that such Transfer would not violate (i) the Securities Act or any state securities laws or blue sky laws applicable to the Partnership or the Units to be Transferred or (ii) the Insider Trading Policy, then in effect, for TMHC;

(c) The Limited Partner effecting the Transfer and the transferee execute any other instruments that the General Partner deems reasonably necessary or desirable for admission of the transferee, and the Partner effecting the Transfer and the transferee provide the General Partner any information necessary to comply with the requirements of Code Section 743(e), if applicable; and

(d) The Limited Partner effecting the Transfer or the transferee pays to the Partnership a transfer fee in an amount sufficient to cover the reasonable expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection with the admission of the transferee and provides to the Partnership any information necessary for the Partnership to make required basis adjustments and comply with tax reporting requirements.

11.3 Consent. Each Partner hereby agrees that, upon satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Article 11 with respect to any proposed Transfer, the Assignee may be admitted as a Limited Partner by the General Partner.

11.4 Withdrawal of Partner. If a Limited Partner Transfers all of its Interest pursuant to Section 11.1 and the Assignee of such Interest is admitted as a Limited Partner pursuant to Section 11.3, such Assignee shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner effective on the effective date of the Transfer or such other date as may be specified when the Assignee is admitted and, if such Assignor has not already ceased to be a Limited Partner pursuant to Section 11.1(b),

 

- 29 -


then immediately following such admission the Assignor shall cease to be a Limited Partner of the Partnership. Upon the Assignor ceasing to be a Limited Partner, the Assignor shall not be entitled to any Distributions from and after the date of such Transfer. Notwithstanding the admission of an Assignee as a Limited Partner and, except as otherwise expressly approved by the General Partner, the Assignor shall not be released from any obligations to the Partnership as a Limited Partner (or otherwise) existing as of the date of the Transfer (other than obligations of the Assignor to make future capital contributions, if any), including without limitation the obligations set forth in Section 5.3.

11.5 Amendment of Exhibit 3.1. In the event of the admission of any transferee as a Partner of the Partnership, the General Partner shall promptly amend Exhibit 3.1 to reflect such Transfer or admission, as the case may be.

11.6 FIRPTA Certificates and Withholding. For so long as TPG Cayman or Oaktree Cayman owns an Interest in the Partnership (directly or indirectly (through a direct or indirect ownership interest in any Limited Partner other through ownership of TMHC Common Stock)), (1) such Person may submit a request to the General Partner that the Partnership provide to such requesting Person and to TMHC a certificate described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-11T(d), (2) the Partnership shall comply with such request within [10] days of receipt of the request unless doing so would be impermissible under Section 1445 of the Code and the Regulations thereunder, and (3) neither TMHC nor any of its Affiliates will withhold any amounts pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code in connection with a transfer to TMHC or any of its Affiliates of any portion of the Interests held by TPG Cayman or Oaktree Cayman unless TMHC or its Affiliate, as applicable, reasonably determines it is legally required to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Partners hereby agree that, as of the date hereof, it is permissible under Section 1445 of the Code and the Regulations thereunder for the Partnership to provide a certificate described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-11T(d), and the Partnership shall execute and deliver such a certificate to TPG Cayman, Oaktree Cayman and TMHC as of the date hereof.

 

12. WINDING UP AND DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP.

12.1 Termination of Limited Partnership. Except as otherwise provided herein, no Limited Partner shall resign or withdraw from the Partnership. The death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, bankruptcy or dissolution of any Limited Partner shall not in and of itself cause the Partnership to be wound up and dissolved, and upon the occurrence of any such event, the Partnership shall be continued without winding up or dissolving.

12.2 Events of Liquidation. The Partnership shall only be wound up upon the occurrence of the following events and Sections 15(2), (5), (6) and (7) of the ELP Law shall not apply to the Partnership except as expressly stated herein: (a) the prior written consent of the General Partner, TPG Cayman and Oaktree Cayman, in each case solely to the extent such Person, directly or indirectly (through a direct or indirect ownership interest in any Limited

 

- 30 -


Partner other than through ownership of TMHC Common Stock), then has an ownership interest in Units or Interests in the Partnership, which consent and approval shall be in lieu of any vote otherwise required or permitted under the ELP Law to commence winding up and dissolution or (b) 90 days after the occurrence of any event specified under 15(5)(a), (b) or (c) of the ELP Law with respect to the General Partner, unless the Partnership is continued following the appointment of a replacement General Partner by a majority vote of the Limited Partners within 90 days of such event.

12.3 Liquidation. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Section 12.2, save where the Partnership is continued as provided for therein, the Partnership shall immediately commence to wind up its affairs. A reasonable period of time shall be allowed for the orderly winding-up of the Partnership’s affairs, discharge of its liabilities, and distribution or liquidation of the remaining assets so as to enable the Partnership to minimize the normal losses attendant to the liquidation process. The Partnership’s property and assets or the proceeds from the liquidation thereof shall be distributed (a) in accordance with the ELP Law and (b) following satisfaction (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment) of the Partnership’s liabilities, in accordance with Section 5.1. Upon such final accounting, the General Partner shall file a notice of dissolution in accordance with the ELP Law and the Partnership will then dissolve.

12.4 No Further Claim. Without limitation of the provisions of Sections 12.1 and 12.2, upon winding-up, each Limited Partner shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return of its capital, and if the Partnership’s property remaining after payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of the Partnership, including debts and liabilities owed to one or more of the Limited Partners, is insufficient to return the aggregate Capital Contributions of each Limited Partner, such Limited Partners shall have no recourse against the Partnership, any Limited Partner or the General Partner.

 

13. INDEMNIFICATION.

13.1 Indemnification Rights.

(a) General. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the General Partner, each officer of the Partnership, TPG Cayman, Oaktree Cayman and each of their respective Affiliates in their respective capacities as General Partner or Limited Partner (or a direct or indirect equity owner of the General Partner or such Limited Partner), officer of the Partnership or Tax Matters Partner (all indemnified persons being referred to as “Indemnified Persons” for purposes of this Article 13), from any liability, loss or damage incurred by the Indemnified Person by reason of any act performed or omitted to be performed by the Indemnified Person in connection with the activities of the Partnership and from liabilities or obligations of the Partnership imposed on such Person by virtue of such Person’s position with the Partnership, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and any amounts expended in the settlement of any such claims of liability, loss or

damage; provided, however, that if the liability, loss, damage or claim arises out of any action or inaction of an Indemnified Person, indemnification under this Section 13.1 shall be available only if such action or inaction was not expressly prohibited by this Agreement and (i) either (A) the Indemnified Person, at the time of such action or inaction, determined in good faith that its, his or her course of conduct was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership and/or its Subsidiaries or (B) in the case of inaction by the Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person did not intend its, his or her inaction to be harmful or opposed to the best interests of the Partnership and/or its Subsidiaries and (ii) the action or inaction did not constitute fraud or willful misconduct by the Indemnified Person; provided, further, however, that indemnification under this Section 13.1 shall be recoverable only from the assets of the Partnership and not from any assets of the Limited Partners. The Partnership shall advance reasonable attorneys’ fees of an Indemnified Person as incurred, provided that such Indemnified Person executes an undertaking, to repay the amount so paid or reimbursed in the event that a final non-appealable determination by a court of competent jurisdiction finds that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification under this Article 13. The Partnership may pay for insurance covering liability of the Indemnified Persons for negligence in the operation of the Partnership’s affairs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Section 13.1 shall require the Partnership to indemnify any Person in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, claim or counterclaim initiated by or on behalf of such Person, other than an action approved by the General Partner.

(b) Indemnification Priority. The Partnership hereby acknowledges that the rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided pursuant to this Section 13.1 may also be provided to certain Indemnified Persons by one or more of their respective Affiliates (other than TMHC, the General Partner or any direct or indirect Subsidiaries of the Partnership) or their insurers (collectively, the “Affiliate Indemnitors”). The Partnership and TMHC hereby agree that, as between the Partnership and TMHC on the one hand, and the Affiliate Indemnitors on the other (i) the Partnership and TMHC are jointly and severally the full indemnitors of first resort and the Affiliate Indemnitors are the full indemnitors of second resort with respect to all such indemnifiable claims against such Indemnified Persons, whether arising under this Agreement or otherwise (i.e., the obligations of the Partnership and TMHC to such Indemnified Persons are primary and any obligation of the Affiliate Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Persons are secondary), (ii) the Partnership and TMHC shall be jointly and severally required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons and shall be jointly and severally liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement (or any other agreement between the Partnership or TMHC and such Indemnified Persons), without regard to any rights such Indemnified Persons may have against the Affiliate Indemnitors, and (iii) the Partnership and TMHC irrevocably waive, relinquish and release the Affiliate Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Affiliate Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Partnership and TMHC agree to indemnify the Affiliate Indemnitors

 

- 32 -


directly for any amounts that the Affiliate Indemnitors pay as indemnification or advancement on behalf of any such Indemnified Person and for which such Indemnified Person may be entitled to indemnification from the Partnership or TMHC in connection with serving as a director or officer (or equivalent titles) of TMHC, the Partnership or their respective Subsidiaries. The Partnership and TMHC further agree that no advancement or payment by the Affiliate Indemnitors on behalf of any such Indemnified Person with respect to any claim for which such Indemnified Person has sought indemnification from the Partnership or TMHC shall affect the foregoing and the Affiliate Indemnitors shall be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Indemnified Person against the Partnership and TMHC, and the Partnership and TMHC shall cooperate with the Affiliate Indemnitors in pursuing such rights.

(c) Third Party Indemnification. The General Partner may make, execute, record and file on its own behalf and on behalf of each Limited Partner all instruments and other documents (including one or more deeds poll in favour of the persons to whom the benefit of the exculpation and indemnification provisions of this Agreement are intended (the “Covered Persons”) and/or one or more separate indemnification agreements between the General Partner, the Partnership, each Limited Partner (as applicable) and individual Covered Persons) that the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate in order to extend the benefit of the exculpation and indemnification provisions of this Agreement to the Covered Persons; provided, that, such other instruments and documents authorized hereunder shall be on the same terms as provided for in this Agreement except as otherwise may be required by applicable law

13.2 Exculpation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no Indemnified Person shall be liable, in damages or otherwise, to TMHC, the Partnership or to any Limited Partner for any loss that arises out of any act performed or omitted to be performed by it, him or her pursuant to the authority granted by this Agreement if (a) either (i) the Indemnified Person, at the time of such action or inaction, determined in good faith that such Indemnified Person’s course of conduct was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership, or (ii) in the case of inaction by the Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person did not intend such Indemnified Person’s inaction to be harmful or opposed to the best interests of the Partnership and (b) the conduct of the Indemnified Person did not constitute fraud or willful misconduct by such Indemnified Person.

13.3 Persons Entitled to Indemnity. Any Person who is within the definition of “Indemnified Person” at the time of any action or inaction in connection with the activities of the Partnership shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article 13 as an “Indemnified Person” with respect thereto, regardless of whether such Person continues to be within the definition of “Indemnified Person” at the time of such Indemnified Person’s claim for indemnification or exculpation hereunder. The right to indemnification and the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article 13 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, agreement, by law, vote of the General Partner or otherwise. If this Article 13 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of

 

- 33 -


competent jurisdiction, then the Partnership shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person pursuant to this Article 13 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article 13 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

13.4 Procedure Agreements. The Partnership may enter into an agreement with any Indemnified Person setting forth procedures consistent with applicable law for implementing the indemnities provided in this Article 13.

13.5 Business and Investment Opportunities. Each employee, consultant and service provider of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries that is party to this Agreement shall, and shall cause each of his, her or its Affiliates to, bring all investment or business opportunities to the Partnership of which any of the foregoing become aware and which are related to, complimentary with or competitive with the activities then conducted or proposed to be conducted by the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything at law or in equity to the contrary, to the fullest extent permitted by law, neither the foregoing sentence nor the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, shall apply to (a) TPG Cayman, Oaktree Cayman, Builders Holdings International, L.P., Toeis, L.P., Oaktree TM Holdings TP, SRL, JHI Holding Limited Partnership, JHI Management Limited Partnership or their respective Affiliates, (b) any employees or partners of TPG Global, LLC or Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. or (c) any directors or officers (or their respective equivalents) of the General Partner, the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership that are Affiliates of TPG Global, LLC, Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., JHI Holding Limited Partnership or JHI Management Limited Partnership (any such Person referred to in the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c), an “Exempted Person”). The Partnership renounces any interest or expectancy of the Partnership in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business or investment opportunities that are from time to time presented to any Exempted Person, including any transactions with TPG Cayman, Oaktree Cayman or any of their respective Affiliates. No Exempted Person who acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for the Partnership, including any transaction with the TPG Cayman, Oaktree Cayman or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Partnership, and such Exempted Person shall not be liable to the Partnership or to the Limited Partners for breach of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of the fact that such Exempted Person pursues or acquires such opportunity, or directs such opportunity to another Person or does not communicate such opportunity or information to the Partnership. No amendment or repeal of this Section 13.5 shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any Exempted Person for or with respect to any opportunities of which any such Exempted Person becomes aware prior to such amendment or repeal. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 13.5 shall have independent effect with respect to, and shall not be construed as being in lieu of or otherwise limiting, any separate obligations of any Person under any agreement between such Person and the Partnership and/or its Subsidiaries, including any agreement related to any noncompetition, nonsolicitation, confidentiality or other restrictions on the activities or operations of such Person.

 

- 34 -


13.6 Reliance, etc.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, an Indemnified Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any other Indemnified Person for its, his or her good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. To the fullest extent provided by law, the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities of an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partnership, each Partner and each Limited Partner to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnified Person.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to applicable law, whenever in this Agreement an Indemnified Person is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its, his or her discretion or under a grant of similar authority, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as such Indemnified Person desires, including its, his or her own and its, his or her Affiliates’ interests, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Partnership, any Partner, any Limited Partner or any other Person, or (ii) in its, his or her good faith or under another express standard, the Indemnified Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards.

Unless otherwise specified herein, such notices or other communications shall be deemed effective, (a) on the date received, if personally delivered or sent by facsimile or electronic mail during normal business hours, (b) on the business day after being received if sent by facsimile or electronic mail other than during normal business hours, (c) one business day after being sent by Federal Express, DHL or UPS or other comparably reputable delivery service and (d) five business days after being sent by registered or certified mail. Each of the Limited Partner shall be entitled to specify a different address by giving notice as aforesaid to the General Partner and

 

- 41 -


the Partnership. The General Partner and the Partnership shall be entitled to specify a different address by giving notice as aforesaid to each of the other parties hereto. Sections 8 and 19(3) of the Electronic Transactions Law (2003 Revision) of the Cayman Islands shall not apply.

17.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court to be invalid or unenforceable, that determination shall not affect the other provisions hereof, each of which shall be construed and enforced as if the invalid or unenforceable portion were not contained herein. Such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any valid and enforceable application thereof, and each such provision shall be deemed to be effective, operative, made, entered into or taken in the manner and to the full extent permitted by law.

17.4 Construction. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, the principle of contra proferentum shall not apply to this Agreement and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

17.5 Table of Contents, Headings. The table of contents and headings used in this Agreement are used for administrative convenience only and do not constitute substantive matter to be considered in construing this Agreement.

17.6 Rights Limited. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as (a) giving any Person the right to continued employment with or the right to continue in any other service relationship with the Partnership or any of its Affiliates, or (b) limiting in any respect the ability of the Partnership or any of its Affiliates to terminate any Person’s employment for any reason, even if the termination is in violation of an obligation of the Partnership or its Affiliates to such Person.

17.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, each Limited Partner’s respective purchase agreement, subscription agreement, Management Rollover Agreement or unit certificate and the other agreements contemplated hereby and thereby constitute the entire agreement of the Limited Partners and their Affiliates relating to the Partnership and supersede all prior meetings, communications, representations, negotiations, contracts or agreements (including any prior drafts thereof) with respect to the Partnership, whether oral or written, none of which shall be used as evidence of the parties’ intent. In addition, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that all prior drafts of this Agreement contain attorney work product and shall in all respects be subject to the foregoing sentence.

17.8 No Third Party Rights. Except as expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Partnership, the General Partner and the Limited Partners, and no other Person, including creditors of the Partnership, shall have any right or claim against the Partnership, the General Partner or any Limited Partner by reason of this

 

- 42 -


Agreement or any provision hereof or be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnified Person and Exempted Person shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

17.9 Effect of Waiver or Consent. A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations with respect to the Partnership is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person with respect to the Partnership. Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default with respect to the Partnership, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.

17.10 Counterparts and Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts with the same effect as if all signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument. This Agreement, each Limited Partner’s respective purchase agreement, subscription agreement or unit certificate and the other agreements contemplated hereby and thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or electronic delivery (i.e., by email of a PDF signature page) shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or electronic delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or by electronic delivery as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

17.11 Jurisdiction and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 17.11(a), the parties irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Delaware in connection with any action relating to this Agreement and agree that service of summons, complaint or other process in connection with any such action may be made as set forth in Section 17.2 and that service so made shall be as effective as if personally made in the State of Delaware. To the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, each Partner waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such proceeding brought in the above-named courts, any claim that such Partner is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such courts, that such Partner’s property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that such proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such proceeding is improper, or that this Agreement or the subject matter thereof, may not be enforced in or

 

- 43 -


by such courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 17.11 excludes the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands courts with respect to any matter reserved to it pursuant to the ELP Law or Cayman Islands law.

(b) TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE OR ACTION, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR SUIT (IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), INQUIRY, PROCEEDING OR INVESTIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INFORMED BY THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO THAT THIS SECTION 17.11 CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH THEY ARE RELYING AND WILL RELY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 17.11 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

17.12 Offset.
