any Limited Partner and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, may amend any
provision of this Agreement in order to effectuate the intent of this Section 3.2(d).
3.3 Additional Limited Partners.
(a) Additional Subscriptions before Final Closing Date. Subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, during the period from the date on which investors are first
admitted to the Partnership (the "Initial Closing Date") through December 31, 2018 (the "Final
Closing Date"), the General Partner is authorized, but not obligated, to admit to the Partnership
one or more additional Limited Partners (each, an "Additional Limited Partner") and to accept
additional Subscriptions from existing Limited Partners, who shall be deemed to be Additional
Limited Partners to the extent of such additional Subscriptions. Additional Subscriptions shall
be accepted and Additional Limited Partners shall be admitted to the Partnership pursuant to this
Section 3.3(aI only i£
(i) Each such Additional Limited Partner shall contribute, on or after
the date of its admission or the acceptance of its additional Subscription, the same percentage of
its Subscription or its additional Subscription, as the case may be, as has been contributed by the
other non-defaulting Limited Partners prior to such date (not including any contributions
pursuant to (ji) below);
(ii) Unless otherwise waived by the General Partner in its sole
discretion, each such Additional Limited Partner shall contribute to the Partnership at the same
time an interest-equivalent amount equal to the interest that would be payable on a debt
obligation in the amount of the contribution made pursuant to clause (a), computed at a rate
equal to the Prime Rate in effect on the Initial Drawdown Date plus two percent (2%) per annum
for the period from the due date or dates on which the other Partners were required to make their
earlier contributions to the date of such contribution, and the allocations otherwise provided for
in this Agreement shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 8.3(b) so that the increase in the
Additional Limited Partner's Capital Account attributable to the contribution of such interest-
equivalent amount is fully offset by special allocations of loss or expense to such Partner;
(iii) Upon payment of the amount provided by Sections 3.3(a)(i) and
(11), the Partnership shall:
(1) pay to the Management Company, as an additional
Management Fee, the incremental Management Fee that would have been payable prior to such
4
EFTA00805989
CONFIDENTIAL
admission with respect to the Subscription of the Additional Limited Partners had such
Additional Limited Partners been admitted on the Initial Closing Date; and
(2) at the discretion of the General Partner, retain for any valid
Partnership purpose some or all of the balance of the amount paid to the Partnership under
Section 3.3(a)(i) (together with the portion of the interest paid pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(ii) with
respect to such retained portion), and/or distribute some or all of such balance to the Partners
(other than the Additional Limited Partners admitted on such admission date) apportioned among
such previously admitted Partners in proportion to their respective Contributions. Such
distribution shall be deemed to consist of (A) a portion of the initial Contribution made by the
Additional Limited Partners which the General Partner determines to return to the previously
admitted Partners, plus (B) the interest-equivalent amount paid pursuant to Section 3.3(axii) with
respect to such portion of the initial Contribution made by the Additional Limited Partners which
the General Partner determines to return to the previously admitted Partners. The portion of any
distribution to a Partner described under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence shall
be added back to the unpaid portion of such Partner's Subscription which may be called again by
the Partnership, and the portion of any distribution to a Partner described under clause (B) of the
immediately preceding sentence shall be treated as a special distribution of interest income
which does not increase the unpaid portion of such Partner's Subscription; and
(iv) No distribution has been made by the Partnership to the Partners
pursuant to Article VII (other than pursuant to Section 7.4) prior to the date of such Additional
Limited Partner's admission or additional Subscription.
Each Partner acknowledges and agrees that the intent of this Section 3.3(a) is to allow
each Additional Limited Partner to be admitted to the Partnership with a proportionate interest
(based on relative Subscriptions) in the Partnership, and to cause such Additional Limited
Partner to bear its proportionate share (based on relative Subscriptions) of Management Fees and
other Partnership Expenses, without decreasing the aggregate Subscriptions of other Partners.
Accordingly, the amount contributed by a Limited Partner pursuant to Section 3.3(061 shall be
treated as a Contribution by such Limited Partner, and the interest described in Section 3.3(a)(ii)
shall be treated as interest income of the Partnership. The portion of the interest income and the
amount of incremental Management Fees described in Section 3.3(a)(iii) shall be specially
allocated items of income and expense to such Additional Limited Partner to the extent required
such that such Additional Limited Partner has been allocated a proportionate share of all
Management Fees incurred by the Partnership after the date hereof. The portion of the interest
income described in clause (B) of Section 3.3(a)(iii)(2) shall be a specially allocated and
distributed item of income to previously admitted Partners to the extent paid to them, and the
amount described in clause (A) of Section 3.3(a)(iii)(2) shall be a special return of Contributions
to previously admitted Partners which is added back to their unpaid Subscriptions to the extent
distributed to them. Subject to the foregoing and to the provisions of Section 8.4, each previously
admitted and Additional Limited Partner shall be treated in all respects as if it had been an
original Limited Partner of the Partnership (with a proportionate share of aggregate
Contributions), and shall be subject to all the obligations of the Limited Partners hereunder
including, without limitation, the obligation to make all subsequent Contributions required by
this Agreement.

CONFIDENTIAL
(b) Additional Subscriptions after Final Closing Date. After the Final Closing
Date, the General Partner, with the consent of either the Advisory Committee or a majority-in-
interest of the Limited Partners, is authorized to admit one or more Persons to the Partnership as
Additional Limited Partners or accept additional Subscriptions from the Partners. The terms of
any such admission or additional Subscription shall be fixed by the General Partner at the time of
such admission or additional Subscription.
(c) Accession to Agreement. Each Person who is to be admitted as an
Additional Limited Partner or substituted Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement shall
accede to this Agreement by executing, together with the General Partner, a counterpart
signature page to this Agreement providing for such admission, which shall be deemed for all
purposes to constitute an amendment to this Agreement providing for such admission but shall
not require the consent or approval of any other Partner. The General Partner shall make any
necessary filings with the appropriate governmental authorities and take such actions as are
necessary under applicable law to effectuate such admission.
3.4 Other Activities Of Partners. Any Partner and its respective partners, members,
stockholders, officers, directors, managers, trustees, employees, agents and Affiliates may invest,
participate, or engage in (for their own accounts or for the accounts of others), or may possess an

activities of every kind, nature and description, independently or with others, including but not

interest of the Partnership or any of the Partners. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Partners acknowledge and agree that the member(s) or manager(s) of the General
Partner may be employed on either a full-time or part-time basis by parties other than the
Partnership or the General Partner and are under no obligation to devote any minimum amount
of their time to the affairs of the Partnership or the General Partner. Neither the Partnership nor
any Partner shall have any rights, solely by virtue of this Agreement, in or to any activities
permitted by this Section 3.4 or to any wages, fees, income, profits or goodwill derived from
such activities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any
other document, no Partner shall have any rights in or to any technology or opportunities arising
out of the relationship between any Affiliate of the General Partner and the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, the MIT Media Lab or any of their respective Affiliates by virtue of this
Agreement or such Partner's relationship with the Partnership.
3.5 Co-Investments. The General Partner may permit one or more investors (which
for this purpose, may consist of third parties and/or Affiliates of the General Partner) to invest in
transactions in which the Partnership invests if the General Partner determines in its sole
discretion that their investment would be beneficial in consummating such investment,
successfully operating the Portfolio Company or its assets, disposing of such investment or
6
EFTA00805991
CONFIDENTIAL
otherwise adding value to such investment. In addition, the General Partner may, in its
discretion, grant one or more Partners rights to co-invest with the Partnership (either directly or
indirectly by means of co-investment vehicles formed by the General Partner and/or its
Affiliates) in instances where the General Partner determines a co-investment allocation to be
available. Co-investors are expected to invest in the same securities as the Partnership and at the
same valuation, but may be subject to such fees (including carried interest and management fees)
and expenses as may be negotiated with the General Partner and/or its Affiliates. The General
Partner and/or its Affiliates may make an investment in any vehicle formed for a co-investment
opportunity.
3.6 Advisory Committee.
(a) Appointment; Removal. The Partnership may form a committee of at least
three members (the "Advisory Committee"), which shall consist exclusively of Limited Partners
(or designated representatives thereof), who shall be appointed by the General Partner and who
may be removed or replaced by the General Partner.

progress of Portfolio Investments;
(ii) Review and advise the General Partner regarding potential
conflicts of interest submitted to them by the General Partner; and

undertake any action on behalf of the Partnership with any third party or have the power to bind
the Partnership or any authority to act for or on its behalf.
(c) Reimbursement of Expenses. Members of the Advisory Committee may
receive from the Partnership reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses
incurred in connection with their attendance at meetings of the Advisory Committee, but shall
receive no fees or other compensation from the Partnership in connection with their duties as
members of the Advisory Committee.
ARTICLE IV

Agreement, without the consent of any Limited Partner or other Person being required, the
Partnership is hereby authorized to execute, deliver and perform, and the General Partner on
behalf of the Partnership and itself, as applicable, is hereby authorized to execute and deliver (a)

be deemed a restriction on the power of the General Partner to enter into other documents on

percent (2%) per annum of the aggregate Subscriptions of the Limited Partners. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to the quarter in which the Initial Closing Date occurs, the

ARTICLE VI
CAPITAL OF THE PARTNERSHIP
6.1 Obligation to Contribute.

Partnership, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, in an aggregate
amount equal to such Partner's Subscription. Except as provided in Section 6.3(e), the amount
of capital required to be contributed by each Partner on the occasion of a drawdown shall be
determined by the General Partner based on the ratio of such Partner's unpaid Subscription to the
aggregate unpaid Subscriptions of all Partners. All capital contributions shall be made to the
Partnership by check or wire transfer or other transfer of federal or other immediately available
U.S. funds on the relevant due date to the account designated for such purpose. Each Partner
9
EFTA00805994
CONFIDENTIAL
shall be obligated to make payment in full of each required capital contribution together with any
interest or other amounts due thereon, and no Partner shall make (nor shall the General Partner or
the Partnership be obligated to accept) less than the full amount of any such required capital
contribution.
(b) Initial Capital Contributions. Each Partner's initial capital contribution
shall be due upon not less than ten (10) Business Days' prior written notice from the General
Partner, such date being referred to herein as the "Initial Drawdown Date".
(c) Additional Contributions: Deficiency Drawdowns. The General Partner is
authorized to draw down additional capital contributions from time to time for any purposes
contemplated under this Agreement upon not less than ten (10) Business Days' prior written

contribution when due (including such Partner's initial capital contribution), the General Partner
in its sole discretion may call for a deficiency drawdown of contributions from the other Partners
to replace the unpaid contribution upon five (5) Business Days' prior written notice. For
purposes of Section 6.3, the amount of a Limited Partner's contribution that is not paid when due
shall be deemed to include such Partner's ratable share, determined on a grossed-up basis, of any
deficiency drawdown with respect to such Limited Partner's unpaid contribution.
(d) Procedure for Notice of Capital Calls: Rescission or Postponement. The
General Partner shall send written notice of a call for capital contributions, or a rescission or
postponement of such a call, to each Limited Partner by first class mail or electronic mail. A
notice calling for capital contributions may be rescinded or postponed by the General Partner by
prompt written notice.
(e) Offsets Against Distributions: No Interest or Withdrawals. In connection
with any call for capital contributions under this Agreement, the General Partner is authorized to
apply cash that would otherwise be distributed to a Partner in satisfaction of such Partner's
obligation to make a capital contribution pursuant to such call, to the extent thereof. The amount
applied shall be deemed distributed to the Partner by the Partnership and then contributed by the
Partner to the Partnership in satisfaction of such Partner's obligation to contribute capital
hereunder and such Partner's Contribution shall be adjusted accordingly. No interest shall
accrue on any Partner's Contribution. No Partner shall have the right to withdraw or to be repaid
its Contribution except as specifically provided in this Agreement.
(0 General Partner's Authority to Reduce Subscriptions. The General Partner
in its sole discretion may reduce the Subscriptions of all Partners on a pro rata basis. The
General Partner shall give each Partner written notice of the reduction, which notice shall include
the amount of such Partner's reduced Subscription.
(g) Contributions of the General Partner. The General Partner shall contribute
capital to the Partnership in satisfaction of its Subscription (if any) at the time capital calls are
made pursuant to this Agreement. In addition to its general partnership interest, the General
Partner may also hold limited partnership interests in the Partnership. The Subscription of the
10
EFTA00805995
CONFIDENTIAL
General Partner and/or its Affiliates, in aggregate, shall be at least $100,000 (which may be in
the form of limited partnership interests).
6.2 Return of Certain Amounts Subject to Subsequent Drawdown.
(a) Unused Contributions. The General Partner in its sole discretion may
cause the Partnership to return to the Partners all or any portion of capital contributions that have
not been invested in one or more Portfolio Investments or applied to the payment or
reimbursement of expenses or other purposes. Such contributions shall be distributed to the
Partners pro rata in proportion to the respective amounts of contributions made by them with
respect to the drawdown that gave rise to the contribution that is being returned.
(b) Return of Contributions upon Admission of Additional Partner.
Immediately following the initial (or additional) capital contribution of an Additional Limited
Partner, the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may return to each of the non-contributing
Partners, in proportion to their Contributions, a portion of their earlier capital contributions to the
Partnership in an aggregate amount not in excess of the new contribution. If the General Partner
intends to exercise its discretion to return capital contributions pursuant to the preceding
sentence, it may, in its sole discretion, reduce the amount of the contribution required to be made
by the Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(i) so that, on a net basis after the
return of contributions, all Partners will have contributed the same percentage of their
Subscriptions. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may also pay to the Partners as
"guaranteed payments" (as defined in Section 707(c) of the Code), including the Additional
Limited Partner, in proportion to their Contributions, all or a portion of the interest-equivalent
amounts contributed to the Partnership pursuant to Section 3.3(alffil.
(c) Effect of Return of Contributions. The General Partner shall make all
appropriate adjustments, including to the amount of the Partners' respective Contributions,
unpaid Subscriptions, Capital Accounts and any other items that are adjusted for capital
drawdowns, so that the amounts of all such items are, to the maximum extent possible, the same
as they would have been had the capital drawdown that gave rise to any contribution that is
returned pursuant to Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) never occurred. No such adjustments shall
be made, however, to reflect any amounts paid or distributed to a Partner that are attributable to
the payment to such Partner of any interest-equivalent amounts contributed to the Partnership
pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(ii). A reduction of a Partner's Capital Account pursuant to this
Section 6.2(c) shall not be treated as a distribution for purposes of this Agreement, unless the
context so requires.
6.3 Failure to Make Required Payment.
(a) Interest. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, upon any
failure by a Limited Partner to pay a capital contribution in full when due, interest will accrue at
the Default Rate on the outstanding unpaid balance of such capital contribution, from and
including the date such capital contribution was due until the earlier of the date of payment of
such capital contribution by such Partner (or a transferee) or the date on which the General
Partner imposes a default charge pursuant to Section 6.3(b)(i). The "Default Rate" with respect
11
EFTA00805996
CONFIDENTIAL
to any period shall be the lesser of (i) a rate equal to the Prime Rate in effect on the date such
capital contribution is due plus six percent (6%) or (ii) the highest interest rate for such period
permitted by applicable law. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may waive the
requirement to pay interest, in whole or in part.
(b) Default. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if any Limited
Partner fails to make a capital contribution when due, and such failure continues for ten
(10) Business Days after receipt by such Partner of written notice of such failure, then such
Partner (a "Defaulting Partner") shall be in default. The Partnership shall be entitled to enforce
the obligations of each Partner to make the contributions to capital specified in this Agreement,
and the Partnership shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event any such
contribution is not so made. The remedies provided for in this Section 6.3(b) are in addition to
and not in limitation of any other right or remedy of the Partnership provided by law or equity,
this Agreement, or any other agreement entered into by or among any one or more of the
Partners and/or the Partnership (including, without limitation, any subscription agreement
relating to the Partnership). Each Limited Partner hereby agrees that the remedy at law for
damages resulting from its default under this Agreement is inadequate because the funding of
Partnership investments and other obligations requires the timely availability of required capital
contributions. Upon the occurrence of a default, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion,
pursue one or more of the following alternatives:
(i) Impose a Default Charge upon the Defaulting Partner pursuant to
Section 6.3(c);
(ii) Offer the Defaulting Partner's entire interest in the Partnership to
the other Partners for purchase, in proportion to the other Partners' Subscriptions (with Partners
accepting offers being permitted to take up offers declined by other Partners in proportion to
their Subscriptions), at a price for that interest equal to the lesser of the then fair market value of
the interest or the pre-default balance in the Defaulting Partner's Capital Account, subject to
such other terms as the General Partner in its sole discretion shall determine, provided that the
purchasing Partners agree to assume the Subscription of the Defaulting Partner, including any
portion then due and unpaid;
(iii) Assist the Defaulting Partner in selling its interest in the
Partnership, with the full assumption by the buyer of the Defaulting Partner's Subscription,
including any portion then due and unpaid;
(iv) Accept a late contribution from the Defaulting Partner, with
interest (unless such interest is waived by the General Partner), in satisfaction of its then
outstanding obligation to contribute hereunder;
(v) Cause the entire unpaid Subscription of the Defaulting Partner to
become immediately due and payable;
12
EFTA00805997
CONFIDENTIAL
(vi) Cause any distributions which would otherwise be made to the
Defaulting Partner to be applied against any amounts due and payable from the Defaulting
Partner;
(vii) Pursue and enforce all of the Partnership's other rights and
remedies against the Defaulting Partner under this Agreement, the relevant subscription
agreement and Delaware law, including but not limited to the commencement of a lawsuit to
collect the unpaid capital contribution, interest and costs, and reimbursement (with interest at the
Default Rate) of any other damages suffered by the Partnership;
(viii) The institution of an action for specific performance of the
Defaulting Partner's obligation to contribute the capital contribution(s) in question; or
(ix) Accept from a Defaulting Partner, for U.S. income tax purposes, an
abandonment of such Defaulting Partner's interest in the Partnership, including without
limitation, such Partner's Contribution, Capital Account and Subscription.
If a Defaulting Partner's interest in the Partnership is sold pursuant to fiu or (iii) above or if the
General Partner exercises its discretion to accept a late contribution pursuant to fiv) above, the
General Partner shall not impose a Default Charge pursuant to (j) above. Otherwise, to the
maximum extent permitted by law, the remedies set forth above shall be cumulative, and the use
by the General Partner of one or more of them against a Defaulting Partner shall not preclude the
use of any other such remedy.
(c) Default Charge. The Partners agree that the damages suffered by the
Partnership as the result of a default by a Defaulting Partner will be substantial and that such
damages cannot be estimated with reasonable accuracy. To the maximum extent permitted by
law, as a penalty for such default (which each Partner hereby agrees is reasonable), and subject
to Section 6.3(b), the General Partner may cause both the Contribution and Capital Account of a
Defaulting Partner to be reduced (but not below zero) by an amount equal to 75% of such
Defaulting Partner's Subscription at the time of the default (the "Default Charge"). If (except
for the limitation set forth in the preceding sentence) the Default Charge would exceed either the
Contribution of or the existing balance in the Capital Account of the Defaulting Partner at the
time of default, then such excess shall carry over and be applied as a reduction at a subsequent
time. The amount of any Default Charge levied upon a Defaulting Partner at any time shall be
allocated:
(i) As to the Contribution amount, to and among the respective
Contributions of the non-defaulting Partners in proportion to their respective Contributions; and
(ii) As to the Capital Account amount, to and among the respective
Capital Accounts of the non-defaulting Partners in proportion to the positive balances in their
respective Capital Accounts.

EFTA00805998
CONFIDENTIAL
(d) Distributions and Allocations.
(i) The General Partner, in its sole discretion, and subject to any
Default Charge imposed pursuant to Section 6.3(c), may cause the Partnership to withhold any
distributions that otherwise would be made to a Defaulting Partner until such time as the
Partnership makes its final liquidating distribution, or until such earlier time as the General
Partner may determine. Any distributions so withheld, or the proceeds thereof, may be used by
the Partnership for any purpose. If the General Partner has withheld distributions from a
Defaulting Partner pursuant to this Section 6.3(d) and subsequently determines to pay the
withheld distributions to such Defaulting Partner, it may elect to (1) pay cash to such Defaulting
Partner in lieu of any distributions which were made to non-defaulting Partners in kind and
withheld from such Defaulting Partner, but the Partnership shall not, in such event, be liable to
such Defaulting Partner for any subsequent increase in the value of any securities which would
have been distributed to such Defaulting Partner had such Defaulting Partner not defaulted, or
(2) deliver to such Defaulting Partner the securities or other assets (or substantially identical
securities or assets) such Defaulting Partner would have received had the distribution to such
Defaulting Partner not been withheld, but the Partnership shall not, in such event, be liable for
any diminution in the value of such securities or other assets subsequent to the date such
securities would have been distributed. Any losses incurred by the Partnership upon the
disposition of the securities or other assets that would otherwise have been distributed to the
Defaulting Partner in kind shall be for the account of the Defaulting Partner.
(ii) Allocations shall continue to be made to a Defaulting Partner
pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement as if such Defaulting Partner had made a
timely contribution over the period from the date of default until such time, if any, as the General
Partner imposes a Default Charge; provided, however, that (1) in the sole discretion of the
General Partner, no allocations of Net Gain or items in the nature of gross income or gain shall
be made to the Defaulting Partner during such period, and (2) if the Defaulting Partner (or any
transferee(s) then holding the Defaulting Partner's interest) subsequently contributes the amount
in arrears during such period, together with any accrued interest, then in the sole discretion of the
General Partner subsequent allocations may be made in such a manner that the net result of such
subsequent allocations and the allocations made pursuant to this Section 6.3(d)(ii) is the same as
if the Defaulting Partner (together with such transferee(s), if any) had made all contributions
with respect to the Defaulting Partner's interest on a timely basis.
(e) Effect of Default on Remaining Interest in Partnership. The application of
the aforesaid penalty provisions shall not relieve any Defaulting Partner of its obligation to make
all payments of its capital contributions when due; provided, however, that:
(i) The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may determine that no
additional capital contribution shall be accepted from the Defaulting Partner, in which case the
General Partner shall so notify the Defaulting Partner in writing and, as of the date that such
notice is sent to the Defaulting Partner, the Defaulting Partner's unpaid Subscription shall be
reduced to zero;
14
EFTA00805999
CONFIDENTIAL
(ii) If the Defaulting Partner's unpaid Subscription has been reduced to
zero pursuant to the preceding clause (i) (or if its Subscription has been satisfied in full or
otherwise excused), and both its Contribution and its Capital Account balance have been reduced
to zero (by application of the Default Charge or otherwise), then the Defaulting Partner's interest
in the Partnership shall be extinguished, and the Partnership shall have no further obligation to
the Defaulting Partner;
(iii) Notwithstanding any reduction in the Defaulting Partner's
Contribution pursuant to Section 6.3(c) or any reduction in its unpaid Subscription pursuant to
this Section 6.3(e), if the Defaulting Partner continues as a Limited Partner, subsequent
allocations of Net Gain, Net Loss or items in the nature of gross income, gain or loss made to
such Defaulting Partner shall be adjusted (in addition to any adjustment resulting from the
imposition of a Default Charge) to the extent necessary so that the aggregate allocations made to
the Defaulting Partner, over the life of the Partnership, shall not exceed the allocations that
would have been made to a non-defaulting Limited Partner with a Subscription equal to the
lesser of (1) the Defaulting Partner's Subscription reduced by the amount of any Default Charge
that has been imposed or (2) the amount of the Defaulting Partner's Contribution; provided,
however, that (A) any allocations of Net Loss (or items of gross loss and expense) that are
intended to offset allocations of Net Gain (or items of gross income and gain) made prior to the
default shall be made to the Defaulting Partner as if it at all times had a Subscription equal to its
Subscription prior to the default, and (B) if, prior to its default, the Defaulting Partner had been
allocated Net Loss (and items of gross loss and expense) in excess of Net Gain (and items of
gross income and gain), then the subsequent allocations otherwise required by this Section 6.3(e)
shall be adjusted so that the Defaulting Partner shall not be relieved of that portion of the losses
allocated to it for the period prior to the default that exceeds its proportionate share of the losses
of the Partnership for such period, determined based on its post-default share of allocations
calculated in the manner required by the other provisions of this Section 6.3faiii); and
(iv) If the unpaid Subscription of a Defaulting Partner is reduced to
zero, or if a Defaulting Partner's interest in the Partnership is extinguished, pursuant to this
Section 6.3, for purposes of any provision of this Agreement for which the Defaulting Partner's
Subscription is relevant, the General Partner shall determine the amount of such Subscription, in
its sole discretion, so as to carry out the purposes of such provision.
6.4 Currency. The functional currency of the Partnership shall be United States
dollars. All cash capital contributions shall be made in dollars and, to the extent reasonably
practicable, the books, records, reports and accounts of the Partnership shall be stated in dollars.
No Partner shall be entitled to receive cash distributions from the Partnership other than in
dollars. In the event that it is necessary or convenient for Partnership purposes to apply an
exchange rate between different currencies, the exchange rate shall be determined by the General
Partner using such publicly available indices as it shall select in its reasonable discretion.

(a) General. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the General
Partner shall determine the amount, timing and form (whether in cash or in kind) of all
distributions made by the Partnership.
(b) Distribution of Proceeds of Investments. The Partnership shall distribute,
in the manner described in this Article VII or Article X, as the case may be, all cash proceeds of
its investments as promptly as practicable. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the General
Partner in its discretion may cause the Partnership to retain proceeds of investments for any
purpose for which the General Partner would otherwise be authorized to draw down
contributions under this Agreement, including without limitation the payment or reimbursement
of expenses and the establishment or maintenance of reasonable reserves therefor; provided,
however, that the General Partner may not cause the Partnership to retain cash proceeds of the
Partnership's investments for reinvestment.
(c) Form of Distributions; Apportionment of Distributions. Except as
authorized by the General Partner and approved in advance by a majority-in-interest of the
Limited Partners, all distributions made before the commencement of the liquidation of the
Partnership's assets pursuant to Article X shall consist of cash or Freely Tradable Securities.
Each lot of securities to be distributed in kind shall be distributed to the Partners in proportion to
their respective shares of the proposed distribution as provided in Article VII or Article X, as the
case may be, except to the extent that a disproportionate distribution of securities is necessary in
order to avoid distributing fractional shares. For purposes of the preceding sentence, each lot of
stock or other securities having a separately identifiable tax basis or holding period shall be
treated as a separate lot of securities.
7.2 Distributions.
(a) General. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all distributions
shall be made to and among the Partners in respect of each Portfolio Investment as follows:
(i) First, to all Partners in proportion to their respective Contributions
in respect of such Portfolio Investment until each Partner has received aggregate distributions
from the Partnership pursuant to this Section 7.2(a)(i) equal to the sum of such Partner's total
Contributions in respect of such Portfolio Investment such Partner's unreturned
Contributions in respect of any Portfolio Investment that has been the subject of a Disposition, if
any; and
(ii) Thereafter, 20% to the General Partner and 80% to the Partners in
proportion to their respective Contributions in respect of such Portfolio Investment.

CONFIDENTIAL
(b) Operational Rules.
For purposes of Section 7.2(a) and this Section 7.2(b):
(i) If distributions to which a Defaulting Partner otherwise would
have been entitled have been withheld pursuant to Section 6.3(d), the amounts so withheld shall
be treated as having been distributed to such Partner and any subsequent distributions of such
amounts to the Defaulting Partner shall be disregarded;
(ii) Amounts treated as distributed to a Partner pursuant to Section 7.4
shall be taken into account as if such amounts had been distributed to such Partner pursuant to
Section 7.2(a);
(iii) Distributions made to any Partner's predecessors-in-interest shall
be treated as having been made to such Partner;
(iv) The amount of any distribution of securities in kind shall be equal
to the fair market value of such securities at the time of distribution; and
(v) If there are Defaulting Partners, distributions shall be modified to
the extent required by Article VI; and references in this Article VII to "all Partners" and to "each
Partner" shall be modified accordingly.
7.3 Other Special Distributions. Distributions of available cash corresponding to
amounts of Partnership net income and gains that have been specially allocated to the Partners
pursuant to Section 8.3(b) shall be made, at such time or times as the General Partner in its
discretion shall determine, to the Partners to whom such net income and gains have been
allocated.
7.4 Payment of Taxes.
(a) General. If the Partnership incurs an obligation to pay directly any
amount in respect of taxes with respect to amounts allocated or distributed to one or more
Partners, including but not limited to withholding taxes imposed on any Partner's or former
Partner's share of the Partnership gross or net income and gains (or items thereof), income taxes,
and any interest, penalties or additions to tax ("Tax Liability"), or if the amount of a payment or
distribution of cash or other property to the Partnership is reduced as a result of withholding by
other parties in satisfaction of any such Tax Liability:
(i) All payments by the Partnership in satisfaction of such Tax
Liability and all reductions in the amount of a payment or distribution that the Partnership
otherwise would have received shall be treated, pursuant to this Section 7.4, as distributed to
those Partners or former Partners to which the related Tax Liability is attributable;
(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
subsequent distributions to the Partners shall be adjusted by the General Partner in an equitable
17
EFTA00806002
CONFIDENTIAL
manner so that, to the extent feasible, the burden of taxes withheld at the source or paid by the
Partnership is borne by those Partners to which such Tax Liability is attributable; and
(iii) The General Partner in its sole discretion may cause any amount
treated pursuant to Section 7.4(a)(i) as distributed to any Partner or former Partner at any time
that exceeds the amount, if any, of distributions to which such Person is then entitled under this
Agreement to be treated as a loan to such Person, and the General Partner shall give prompt
written notice to such Person of the amount of such loan.
(b) Tax Liability. The General Partner, after consulting with the Partnership's
accountants or other advisers, shall determine the amount, if any, of any Tax Liability
attributable to any Partner. For this purpose, the General Partner shall be entitled to treat any
Partner as ineligible for an exemption from or reduction in rate of such Tax Liability under a tax
treaty or otherwise except to the extent that such Partner provides the General Partner with such
written evidence as the General Partner or the relevant tax authorities may require to establish
such Partner's entitlement to such exemption or reduction and may treat a Tax Liability as
attributable to Partner to the extent the Tax Liability is due to the Partner failing to provide such
information or certifications regarding the Partner or its beneficial owners as the General Partner
may reasonably request.
(c) Repayment of Any Amounts Treated as Loans. Each Partner covenants,
for itself, its successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives, that such Person shall repay
any loan described in Section 7.4(a)(iii) not later than thirty (30) days after the General Partner
delivers a written demand for such repayment (whether before or after the withdrawal of such
Partner from the Partnership or the dissolution of the Partnership). If any such repayment is not
made within such thirty (30)-day period:
(i) Such Person shall pay interest to the Partnership at the Prime Rate
for the entire period commencing on the date on which the Partnership paid such amount and
ending on the date on which such Person repays such amount to the Partnership together with all
accrued but previously unpaid interest; and
(ii) The Partnership shall collect such unpaid amounts (including
interest) from any distributions that otherwise would be made by the Partnership to such Person
and shall treat the amount so collected as having been distributed to such Person.
(d) Partnership Obligation. For purposes of this Section 7.4, any obligation to
pay any amount in respect of any Tax Liability incurred by the General Partner with respect to
income of or distributions made to any other Partner or former Partner shall constitute a
Partnership obligation.
7.5 Certain Distributions Prohibited. Anything in this Article VII to the contrary
notwithstanding, no distribution shall be made to any Partner if, and to the extent that, such
distribution would not be permitted under Sections 17-607(a) or 17-804(c) of the Delaware Act.

items of income, gain, loss and deduction pursuant to this Article VIII and Appendix II shall be
made for each fiscal year of the Partnership as of the end of such fiscal year; provided, however,
that if the Carrying Value of the assets of the Partnership are adjusted in accordance with clause
(b) of the definition of "Carrying Value," the date of such adjustment shall be considered to be
the end of a fiscal year for purposes of computing and allocating such Net Gain, Net Loss, and
other items of income, gain, loss and deduction.
(c) Compliance with Treasury Regulations. The provisions of this
Section 8.1, including the provisions relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts, are
intended to comply with Section 704(b) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-

8.2 Allocations of Net Gain or Loss.
(a) Net Gain. After giving effect to the other provisions of this Article VIII
and Appendix II, Net Gain, if any, shall be allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Partners as

Loss (if any) previously allocated to each such Partner pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(i) and not
offset by prior allocations of Net Gain made pursuant to this Section 8.2(a)(iI, an amount of Net
Gain equal to the aggregate amount of such Net Loss; and

(ii) Second, to all Partners pro rata in proportion to their respective
Contributions.

forth in Appendix II, the following items of the Partnership shall be specially allocated in the
manner set forth below.
(a) Items of loss or expense otherwise allocable to other Partners pursuant to

the Subscription of any existing Partner is increased) after the Initial Closing Date but on or
before the Final Closing Date, the General Partner shall adjust subsequent allocations of
Partnership income, gain, loss and expense otherwise provided for in this Article VIII and
Appendix II as necessary so that, after such adjustments have been made each Partner (other than
a Defaulting Partner) shall have a Capital Account balance equal to the balance such Partner
would have had if (a) it had been admitted to the Partnership on the Initial Closing Date with a
Subscription equal to its Subscription immediately following such admission or increase, and
(b) it had made all capital contributions in respect of such Subscription when originally due;

10.1 General. Following dissolution, the Partnership's assets shall be liquidated in an
orderly manner. The General Partner shall be the liquidator to wind up the affairs of the
Partnership pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that if there shall be no remaining
General Partner at that time, a majority-in-interest of the Limited Partners may designate one or
more other Persons to act as the liquidator (or liquidators) instead of the General Partner. Any

of the Partnership's liabilities and obligations to creditors. In performing its duties, the liquidator
is authorized to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of the assets of the Partnership in such
reasonable manner as the liquidator shall determine. All items of income, gain, loss and expense
shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with Article VIII and Appendix II, and the
remaining assets of the Partnership shall then be distributed to the Partners in cash (to the extent
feasible) or in kind, in the sole discretion of the liquidator, in proportion to the positive balances
in their respective Capital Accounts, after such Capital Accounts have been adjusted to reflect
any Net Gain or Net Loss attributable to a distribution in kind. During the liquidation of the

with winding up the Partnership, all other losses or liabilities of the Partnership incurred in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and reasonable compensation for the services of
the liquidator shall be borne by the Partnership. If the General Partner serves as the liquidator, it
shall not be entitled to additional compensation for providing services in such capacity as long as
it (or its Affiliate, including the Management Company) continues to be entitled to payments of
the Management Fee.
10.4 Duration of Liquidation. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the winding up
of the affairs of the Partnership in order to minimize any losses that might otherwise result. The
liquidator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to carry out the liquidation in conformity
with the timing requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), but will not be
bound to do so or liable to any Partner for failure to do so.
10.5 Liability for Returns.
(a) General. The liquidator, the General Partner and their respective partners,
members, stockholders, officers, directors, managers, employees, agents and Affiliates shall not
be personally liable for the return of the capital contributions of any Partner.
(b) Limited Partner Obligations. No Limited Partner shall be obligated to
restore to the Partnership any amount with respect to a negative Capital Account; provided,
however, that this provision shall not affect the obligations of Partners to make their agreed-upon
capital contributions and any other payments to the Partnership that are required under this
Agreement or applicable law.
10.6 Post-Dissolution Investments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
in this Article X, but subject to the other limitations on investments set forth in this Agreement,
the liquidator may, at any time after dissolution, cause the Partnership to make additional
investments in entities which were Portfolio Companies on the date of dissolution (including any
successor to, or Affiliate of, a Portfolio Company), if the liquidator believes that such additional
investments are in the best interest of the Partners.

ARTICLE XI
LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS OF PARTNERSHIP
INTERESTS
11.1 Transfer of General Partner's Interest. The General Partner shall not assign,
pledge, mortgage, hypothecate, give, sell or otherwise dispose of or encumber (each such act, a
"Transfer") all or any part of its general partnership interest in the Partnership, except (a) in
connection with the change or technical reconstitution of the form of legal entity of the General
Partner or (b) with the consent of a majority-in-interest of the Limited Partners. Any attempted
Transfer of the General Partner's interest except in compliance with the preceding sentence shall
be void. If a General Partner transfers its interest pursuant to this Section 11.1, the transferee
shall be admitted to the Partnership only upon the written consent of the transferring General
Partner. In connection with any borrowing or guarantee by the Partnership, the General Partner
may collaterally assign the right of the Partnership to make and receive drawdowns of capital
contributions, otherwise permitted by this Agreement, to a lender to secure a guarantee or loan to
the Partnership or to an Affiliate, and no such collateral assignment shall be treated as a Transfer
for purposes of this Agreement or otherwise require the consent of the Limited Partners.
11.2 Transfers of Limited Partnership Interests.
(a) General. No Transfer of a Limited Partner's interest in the Partnership, in
whole or in part, shall be made other than pursuant to this Section 11.2. Any attempted Transfer
of all or any part of a Limited Partner's interest in the Partnership without compliance with this
Agreement shall be void. Each Transfer shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions,
restrictions and obligations set forth in this Agreement, be evidenced by a written agreement
executed by the transferor, the transferee(s) and the General Partner, in form and substance
satisfactory to the General Partner, and be effective as of the first day or last day of a fiscal
quarter (unless otherwise agreed to by the General Partner).
(b) Consent of General Partner. The prior written consent of the General
Partner, which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion, shall be required for any
Transfer of all or part of any Limited Partner's interest in the Partnership, including a Transfer of
solely an economic interest in the Partnership. In determining whether to grant its consent to a
Transfer, the General Partner shall take into account whether such Transfer would result in the
"termination" of the Partnership pursuant to Section 708 of the Code and, if so, whether such
termination would result in material adverse income tax consequences or material additional
expense to the Partnership or any Partner.
(c) No Public Trading in Partnership Interests. The General Partner shall not
cause or permit any offering of interests in the Partnership to be registered under the Securities
Act or to become "traded on an established securities market" or the substantial equivalent
thereof, and shall withhold its consent to any Transfer that, to the General Partner's knowledge
after reasonable inquiry, otherwise would be accomplished by a trade on a "secondary market or
the substantial equivalent thereof," in each case within the meaning of Sections 7704 or 469(k)
of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations.
23
EFTA00806008
CONFIDENTIAL
(d) No Recognition of Certain Transfers. No Transfer of any "partnership
interest" (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(a)(2)) in the Partnership or portion
thereof or derivative interest therein shall be permitted or "recognized" (within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(d)) by the Partnership or the General Partner unless either
(i) the General Partner determines that either such Transfer or the Partnership (immediately after
such Transfer) will qualify for a safe harbor set forth in the Treasury Regulations under
Section 7704 or (ii) the General Partner otherwise determines, after consulting with the
Partnership's tax advisors, that such Transfer will not cause the Partnership to be treated as a
publicly traded partnership under Section 7704(b) of the Code.
(e) Required Representations by Parties.
(i) The transferor and each transferee shall provide to the General
Partner, in connection with any proposed Transfer, written representations to the effect that:
(1) The proposed Transfer will not be effected on or through
(A) a United States national, regional or local securities exchange, (B) a foreign securities
exchange or (C) an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell
quotations by identified brokers or dealers; and
(2) Such Person is not, and its proposed Transfer or acquisition
(as the case may be) will not be made by, through or on behalf of (A) a Person, such as a broker
or a dealer, making a market in interests in the Partnership, or (B) a Person who makes available
to the public bid or offer quotes with respect to interests in the Partnership.
(ii) The transferor and transferee(s) shall provide such additional
written representations as the General Partner reasonably may request, including representations
as to the status of the transferee as an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D
under the Securities Act, and including representations required by Section 14.7(d).
(iii) The General Partner and counsel to the Partnership shall be
permitted to rely upon any representations made by the transferor and transferee(s), whether
pursuant to Section 11.2(e)(i) or Section 11.2(e)(ii) or otherwise, and on written representations
from other Partners made prior to or contemporaneously with such proposed Transfer. The
General Partner, in its sole discretion, may waive its right to obtain any representations otherwise
required by Section 11.2(e)(i) or Section 11.2(e)(ii).
(f) Other Prohibited Legal Consequences.
No Transfer shall be permitted, and the General Partner shall withhold its consent with respect
thereto, if it determines in good faith that such Transfer would:
(i) Result in a violation of the registration requirements of the
Securities Act or disqualify the Partnership or an Affiliate of the Partnership from relying on
Regulation D under the Securities Act to issue securities;
24
EFTA00806009
CONFIDENTIAL
(ii) Require the Partnership to register as an investment company
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;
(iii) Require the General Partner, the Management Company or any of
their respective Affiliates to register as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act
of 1940, as amended, if it or they are not already registered, or with any state securities authority;
(iv) Result in the Partnership being classified for United States federal
income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation; or
(v) Result in the Partnership being considered to be a "publicly traded
partnership" under Section 7704 of the Code.
(g) Opinion of Counsel. Any Transfer otherwise permitted hereunder will be
made only upon receipt by the Partnership of a written opinion of counsel for the Partnership, or
of other counsel reasonably satisfactory to the General Partner, in form and substance
satisfactory to the General Partner, as to compliance with Section 11.2(fl and such other legal
matters as the General Partner reasonably may request. The General Partner may waive, in
whole or in part, the requirement of an opinion pursuant to this Section 11.2(g).
(h) Reimbursement of Transfer Expenses. The transferor of any interest in the
Partnership hereby agrees to reimburse the Partnership, at the request of the General Partner, for
any expenses reasonably incurred by the Partnership in connection with such Transfer, including
the costs of seeking and obtaining the representations required by Section 11.2(e) or the legal
opinion required by Section 11.2(g) or Section 11.3(a) and any other legal, accounting and
miscellaneous expenses ("Transfer Expenses"), whether or not such Transfer is consummated.
At its election, and in any event if the transferor has not reimbursed the Partnership for any
Transfer Expenses incurred by the Partnership in preparing for or consummating a proposed or
completed Transfer within ten (10) days after the General Partner has delivered to such Partner
written demand for payment, the General Partner may seek reimbursement from the transferee of
such interest. If the transferee does not reimburse the Partnership for such Transfer Expenses
within a reasonable time, the General Partner may charge the transferee's Capital Account with
such Transfer Expenses.
11.3 Admission of Substituted Limited Partners.
(a) General. Any transferee of a Partnership interest transferred in accordance
with the provisions of this Article XI shall be admitted as a substituted Limited Partner only with
the General Partner's written consent, which consent may be withheld for any reason or for no
reason. Without the written consent of the General Partner to such substitution and the written
opinion of counsel required by Section 11.2(g) (or waiver thereof by the General Partner), no
transferee of a Partnership interest shall be admitted as a Limited Partner.
(b) Effect of Admission. The transferee of an interest in the Partnership
transferred pursuant to this Article XI that is admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited
Partner shall succeed to the rights and liabilities of the transferor Limited Partner with respect to
25
EFTA00806010
CONFIDENTIAL
such interest and, after the effective date of such admission, the Subscription, Contribution and
Capital Account of the transferor shall become the Subscription, Contribution and Capital
Account of the transferee, to the extent of the interest transferred. If a transferee is not admitted
to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner, (i) such transferee shall have no right to
participate with the Limited Partners in any votes taken or consents granted or withheld by the
Limited Partners hereunder, and (ii) the transferor (including, if applicable, the estate, legal
representative, or other successor of the original owner) shall remain liable to the Partnership for
all contributions and other amounts payable with respect to the transferred interest to the same
extent as if no Transfer had occurred.
11.4 Non-Compliant Transfer. If a Transfer has been proposed or attempted but has
not satisfied the requirements of this Article XI (including, as determined in good faith by the
General Partner, any transaction which does not otherwise constitute a Transfer but a purpose of
which is to achieve indirectly a result similar to that which would be achieved directly if such
transaction were structured as a Transfer), the General Partner shall not admit the purported
transferee as a substituted Limited Partner but, to the contrary, shall use its reasonable best
efforts to ensure that the Partnership (a) continues to treat the transferor as the sole owner of the
interest in the Partnership purportedly transferred, (b) makes no distributions to the purported
transferee and (c) does not furnish to the purported transferee any tax or financial information
regarding the Partnership. The General Partner shall also use its reasonable best efforts to ensure
that the Partnership does not otherwise treat the purported transferee as an owner of any interest
in the Partnership (either legal or equitable), unless required by law to do so. The Partnership
shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, at the expense of the purported transferor, to prevent
any such purported Transfer.
11.5 Multiple Ownership. If the Transfer results in multiple ownership of any Limited
Partner's interest in the Partnership, the General Partner may require one or more trustees or
nominees to be designated as representing a portion of or the entire interest transferred for
purposes of (a) receiving all notices which may be given, and all payments which may be made,
under this Agreement and (b) exercising all rights which the transferor as a Limited Partner has
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
11.6 No Withdrawal Rights. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no
Partner shall have the right to withdraw from the Partnership, to withdraw its capital and profits
from the Partnership, or to demand and receive any Partnership property in exchange for its
interest in the Partnership.
ARTICLE XII
EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION
12.1 Exculpation.
(a) General. No Covered Person, whether or not such Person remains a
Covered Person, shall be liable to the Partnership or any Partner for any loss suffered by the
Partnership or any Partner which arises out of any investment or any other action or omission of
26
EFTA00806011
CONFIDENTIAL
such Covered Person or any other Person if (i) such Covered Person acted in good faith, (ii) such
conduct did not constitute gross negligence (unless arising out of or relating to such Person's
service as a director or officer (or equivalent role) of any current or former Portfolio Company)
or willful misconduct, and (iii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such Covered
Person had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that, at law or in
equity, a Partner has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the
Partnership, any Partner or any other Person that is bound by this Agreement, such Partner acting
under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Partnership, any Partner or any other Person
bound by this Agreement for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement, and the
provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties (including
fiduciary duties) and liabilities (by specifying a duty of care or otherwise) of a Partner otherwise
existing at law or in equity, are agreed by each Partner to replace such duties and liabilities. For
purposes of this Article XII, "Covered Person" shall mean the General Partner (including
without limitation the General Partner acting as Partnership Representative or as liquidator), the
Management Company, each officer, director, manager, member or partner of the General
Partner or of the Management Company and each partner, member, stockholder, officer, director,
manager, employee, agent or Affiliate of any of the foregoing.
(b) Further Limitations. The liability of a Covered Person under this
Agreement, including without limitation Section 12.1(a), shall be limited, in the aggregate, to
such Covered Person's direct interest in the Partnership (or indirect interest through such
Person's interest in the General Partner) plus any unlawful economic benefit such Covered
Person may have derived as a result of failing to comply with the standard of care set forth in
Section 12.1(a).
(c) Activities of Others. No Covered Person shall be liable for the negligence,
whether by action or omission, dishonesty or bad faith of any employee, broker or other agent of
the Partnership selected by any Covered Person with reasonable care.
(d) Advisory Committee Members. No member of the Advisory Committee
and no Limited Partner who may have designated such member shall be liable to the Partnership
or any Partner for any loss suffered by the Partnership or any Partner which arises out of any
action or omission of such member, provided that such member acted in good faith and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such
Person's conduct was unlawful.
(e) Liquidator. No Person other than the General Partner that serves as
liquidator pursuant to Article X shall be liable to the Partnership or any Partner for any loss
suffered by the Partnership or any Partner which arises out of any action or omission of such
Person, provided that such Person acted in good faith and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such Person's conduct was unlawful.
(f) Advice of Experts. No Covered Person, no member of the Advisory
Committee and no Person serving as liquidator shall be liable to the Partnership or any Partner
with respect to any action or omission taken or suffered by any of them in good faith if such
27
EFTA00806012
CONFIDENTIAL
action or omission is taken or suffered in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or
advice of legal counsel (as to matters of law), or of accountants (as to matters of accounting), or
of investment bankers, accounting firms, or other appraisers (as to matters of valuation),
provided that any such professional or firm is selected by any such Person with reasonable care.
12.2 Indemnification.
(a) General. The Covered Persons, each liquidator, each member of the
Advisory Committee, each Limited Partner that designated a member of the Advisory
Committee, and each partner, member, stockholder, director, officer, manager, trustee,
employee, agent and Affiliate of any of the foregoing (each, an "Indemnitee") shall be
indemnified (whether or not the Indemnitee continues to serve in such capacity at the time such
action, suit or proceeding is brought or threatened), subject to the other provisions of this
Agreement, by the Partnership (only out of Partnership assets, including the proceeds of liability
insurance) against any claim, demand, controversy, dispute, cost, loss, damage, expense
(including attorneys' fees), judgment and/or liability incurred by or imposed upon the
Indemnitee in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (including any proceeding before
any administrative or legislative body or agency), to which the Indemnitee may be made a party
or otherwise involved or with which the Indemnitee shall be threatened, by reason of the
Indemnitee's being at the time the cause of action arose or thereafter, a Covered Person, a
liquidator, a member of the Advisory Committee, a Limited Partner that designated a member of
the Advisory Committee, a partner, member, stockholder, director, officer, manager, trustee,
employee, agent or Affiliate of any of the foregoing, or a partner, member, stockholder, director,
officer, manager, trustee, employee, consultant or agent of any other organization in which the
Partnership owns or has owned an interest or of which the Partnership is or was a creditor, which
other organization the Indemnitee serves or has served as a partner, member, stockholder,
director, officer, manager, trustee, employee, consultant or agent at the request of the
Partnership, or by reason of actions or omissions taken or suffered in any such capacity.
(b) Limitation on Indemnification. An Indemnitee shall not be indemnified
with respect to matters as to which the Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudicated in any
such action, suit or proceeding (i) not to have acted in good faith or to have acted with gross
negligence (unless arising out of or relating to such Person's service as a director or officer (or
equivalent role) of any current or former Portfolio Company) or willful misconduct, or (ii) with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had reasonable cause to believe that such
Person's conduct was unlawful.
(c) Advance Payment of Expenses. The Partnership shall pay the expenses
incurred by an Indemnitee in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding, or in
connection with claims arising in connection with any potential or threatened action, suit or
proceeding, in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of
an enforceable undertaking by such Indemnitee to repay such payment if the Indemnitee shall be
determined to be not entitled to indemnification for such expenses pursuant to this Article XII;
provided, however, that in such instance the Indemnitee is not defending an actual or threatened
claim, action, suit or proceeding against the Indemnitee by the General Partner directly or
28
EFTA00806013
CONFIDENTIAL
indirectly through the Partnership (or by the Indemnitee against the Partnership and/or the
General Partner).
(d) Insurance. At its election, the General Partner may cause the Partnership
to purchase and maintain insurance, at the expense of the Partnership and to the extent available,
for the protection of any Indemnitee or potential Indemnitee against any liability incurred in any
capacity which results in such Person being an Indemnitee (provided that such Person is serving
or has served in such capacity at the request of the Partnership or the General Partner), whether
or not the Partnership has the power to indemnify such Person against such liability. The
General Partner may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of and at the expense of the
Partnership for the protection of any officer, director, manager, employee or other agent of any
other organization in which the Partnership owns an interest or of which the Partnership is a
creditor against similar liabilities, whether or not the Partnership has the power to indemnify any
Person against such liabilities.
(e) Successors. The foregoing right of indemnification shall inure to the
benefit of the executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors or assigns of each
such Indemnitee.
(f) Rights to Indemnification from Other Sources.
(i) Indemnification from Other Sources. The rights to indemnification
and advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 12.2 shall not be exclusive and shall be in
addition to any rights to which any Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled or hereafter acquire
under any law, statute, rule, regulation, charter document, bylaw, contract or agreement.
(ii) Priority of Indemnification from Other Sources. The Partners
hereby expressly intend that the provisions of this Section 12.2 shall be interpreted to reflect an
ordering of liability for potentially overlapping or duplicative indemnification payments to an
Indemnitee, with any applicable Third Party Indemnifiers having primary liability and the
Partnership having only secondary liability. In the event the Partnership makes any
indemnification payments to an Indemnitee with respect to any action, suit, or proceeding, the
Partnership shall be, automatically and without the need for any further action on the part of any
Person, subrogated to the Indemnitee's rights to pursue a claim for indemnification from a Third
Party Indemnifier with respect to such action, suit, or proceeding.
(g) Discretionary Limitation by General Partner. Notwithstanding
Section 12.2(a) and Section 12.2(c), the General Partner in its sole discretion may limit or
eliminate indemnification payments that otherwise would be made by the Partnership to any
Indemnitee other than a member of the Advisory Committee or a Limited Partner that designated
such member.
12.3 Limitation by Law. If any Covered Person or Indemnitee or the Partnership itself
is subject to any law, rule or regulation which restricts the extent to which any Person may be
exculpated or indemnified by the Partnership, the exculpation provisions set forth in Section 12.1
and the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 12.2, as applied to such Covered Person,
29
EFTA00806014
CONFIDENTIAL
Indemnitee or the Partnership, shall be deemed to be amended, automatically and without further
action by the Partners, to the minimum extent necessary to conform to such restrictions.
12.4 Return of Certain Distributions. If (a) the Partnership incurs a liability or
obligation, and (b) the Partnership does not have sufficient available funds to satisfy such
liability or obligation, then the General Partner may require that each Partner make additional
contributions to the capital of the Partnership, upon not less than ten (10) days' prior written
notice from the General Partner, of its pro rata share, based on the relative Contributions of the
Partners, of the amount necessary to satisfy such liability or obligation; provided that (i) no
Partner shall be required to contribute an aggregate amount pursuant to this Section 12.4 greater
than the aggregate amount of distributions made to such Partner (and such Partner's
predecessors-in-interest) pursuant to Articles VII and X and (ii) no Partner shall be required to
contribute any amounts pursuant to this Section 12.4 after the third anniversary of the date of the
liquidation of the Partnership as determined under Article IX, except to fund such liability or
obligation (1) that the General Partner or the Partnership is in the process of litigating, arbitrating
or otherwise settling as of such third anniversary date and (2) with respect to which the General
Partner has delivered to the Partners within thirty (30) days after such third anniversary date
written notice of such litigation, arbitration or settlement process. A Partner's obligation to make
contributions to the Partnership under this Section 12.4 shall survive the liquidation of the
Partnership, and the Partnership may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have
against each Partner under this Section 12.4, including instituting a lawsuit to collect such
contribution with interest from the due date at the Prime Rate plus six percent (6%) per annum.
The provisions of this Section 12.4 shall not be construed or interpreted as inuring to the benefit
of any creditor of any of the Partnership, a Limited Partner, the General Partner or any
Indemnitee.
ARTICLE XIII
AMENDMENTS, VOTING AND CONSENTS
13.1 Amendments.
(a) Consent of Partners. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
terms and provisions of this Agreement may be waived on behalf of all Partners, modified,
terminated or amended, during or after the term of the Partnership, with the prior written consent
of the General Partner and a majority-in-interest of the Limited Partners; provided, however, that
any provision of this Agreement requiring the written vote or consent of a greater percentage in
interest of the Limited Partners may be waived on behalf of all Partners, modified, terminated or
amended only with the vote or written consent of the General Partner and such greater
percentage in interest of the Limited Partners as is required by such provision.
(b) Amendments Affecting Partners' Economic Rights. No amendment shall
increase the Subscription of any Limited Partner or dilute the interest of any Limited Partner
relative to the interests of the other Limited Partners in the profits or capital of the Partnership or
in allocations or distributions attributable to the ownership of such interest without the prior
written consent of such Limited Partner, except such dilution as may result from additional
30
EFTA00806015
CONFIDENTIAL
Subscriptions from the Partners or the admission of additional Limited Partners pursuant to this
Agreement, and pursuant to an exercise of remedies by the Partnership under Section 3.2(d) and
Section 6.3. This Section 13.1(b) shall not be amended without the unanimous consent of all
Partners.
(c) Notice of Amendments. The General Partner shall furnish copies of any
amendments to this Agreement to all Partners, other than changes in the List of Partners to
reflect the admission, withdrawal or substitution of Partners, changes in the addresses of Partners
or otherwise in accordance with Section 3.1, and changes in the Subscriptions of Partners (in
each case occurring pursuant to this Agreement), which shall not require the consent of or notice
to any Limited Partner. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article XIII, the General
Partner, without the consent of any other Partner, may amend any provision of this Agreement to
cure any ambiguity or correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent
with any other provision herein or to correct any printing, stenographic or clerical errors or
omissions in order that this Agreement shall accurately reflect the agreement among the Partners.
13.2 Voting and Consents.
Whenever action is required by this Agreement to be taken by a specified percentage in interest
of the Limited Partners, such action shall be deemed to be valid if taken upon the written vote or
written consent of those Limited Partners whose Contributions represent the specified percentage
of the aggregate Contributions of all Limited Partners at the time. Similarly, whenever action is
required by this Agreement to be taken by a specified percentage in interest of a specified class
or group of Limited Partners such action shall be deemed to be valid if taken upon the written
vote or written consent of those Limited Partners of such class or group whose Contributions
represent the specified percentage of the aggregate Contributions of all Limited Partners of such
class or group at the time. For these purposes, a majority-in-interest shall mean a percentage in
interest in excess of 50%, and Non-Voting Interests, if any, shall not be taken into account. Any
limited partnership interest held by the General Partner or any Defaulting Partner shall be
deemed a Non-Voting Interest.

borne by the Partnership. Each Partner shall provide to the Partnership upon request such
information, forms or representations which the General Partner may reasonably request with
respect to the Partnership's compliance with applicable tax laws, including, any information,
forms or representations requested by the General Partner to assist in obtaining any exemption,
reduction or refund of any withholding or other taxes imposed by any taxing authority or other
governmental agency upon the Partnership or amounts paid to the Partnership. Each Partner
agrees to promptly provide the General Partner such information regarding the Partner and its
beneficial owners and forms as the General Partner requests so that the Partnership may comply
with its obligations under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any Treasury Regulations
or other guidance promulgated thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement or the Partner's Subscription Agreement, the Partner hereby waives the application of
any non-U.S. law, to the extent such law would prevent the Partnership or the General Partner
from reporting to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and/or the U.S. Treasury any information
required to be reported with respect to such Partner and its beneficial owners under Sections
1471 through 1474 of the Code and any Treasury Regulations or other guidance promulgated

of gains realized on the disposition of "qualified small business stock" as defined in
Section 1202 of the Code) or any similar provisions of any state income tax law; (ii) without the
prior written consent of the General Partner, such Partner will not make any election referred to
in the preceding clause (i) if such election would impose on the Partnership or the General
Partner any obligation (including, but not limited to, any obligation to furnish information,
maintain records or file returns or other documents); and (iii) the Partnership shall not be
required to comply with any tax reporting or accounting requirements (including, but not limited

in the Partnership of any Partner) that may be imposed under Section 1045 of the Code, and shall
not be required to provide any information necessary to enable such Partner to comply with or
elect the application of Section 1045 of the Code, in each case with respect to rollovers of

(d) Electing Investment Partnership. Each Limited Partner hereby agrees and
covenants that it shall not make an election under Section 732(d) of the Code without the prior
written consent of the General Partner. The General Partner may, but shall not be obligated to,
cause the Partnership to make an election under Section 754 of the Code or an election to be
treated as an "electing investment partnership" within the meaning of Section 743(e) of the
Code. If the Partnership elects to be treated as an electing investment partnership, each Limited
Partner shall (i) cooperate with the Partnership to maintain such status, (ii) not take any action
that would be inconsistent with such election, (iii) provide the General Partner with any
information necessary to allow the Partnership to comply with its tax reporting and other
obligations as an electing investment partnership, and (iv) provide the General Partner and such
Limited Partner's transferee, promptly following the transfer of such Limited Partner's interest,
with the information required under the Code, Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-32 (or any
successor guidance) or otherwise to be furnished to the Partnership or such transferee, including
such information as is necessary to enable the Partnership and such transferee to compute the
amount of losses disallowed under Section 743(e) of the Code. Whether or not the Partnership
makes an election to be treated as an electing investment partnership, each Limited Partner or
former Limited Partner shall, promptly upon request, provide the General Partner with any
information related to such Partner necessary to allow the Partnership to comply with (i) its
obligations to make tax basis adjustments under Sections 734 or 743 of the Code and (ii) any
other tax reporting obligations of the Partnership. In addition, to the extent that the transfer to a
Limited Partner (or the transfer of interests in a Limited Partner) results in the Partnership
adjusting the basis of Partnership property, each Limited Partner that receives an interest in the
Partnership by reason of such transfer (or, in the case of the transfer of interests in a Limited
Partner, such Limited Partner) hereby agrees that upon the request of the General Partner, such
Limited Partner shall reimburse the Partnership and/or the General Partner within ten (10)
Business Days for any expenses (including, without limitation, accounting fees) reasonably
incurred by the Partnership and/or the General Partner (and their respective affiliates) from time
to time in connection with effecting such adjustments to the basis of Partnership property and
any corresponding adjustments to the calculation of Partnership gains and losses as it relates to
such transfer.
(e) Tax Examinations and Audits. The Partnership Representative is
authorized to represent the Partnership in connection with all examinations of the affairs of the
Partnership by any taxing authority or other governmental agency, including any resulting
administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend funds of the Partnership for professional
services and costs associated therewith. Each Partner agrees to cooperate with the Partnership
Representative and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably requested by the
Partnership Representative with respect to the conduct of examinations by any taxing authority
or other governmental agency and any resulting proceedings. Each Partner agrees that any action
taken by the Partnership Representative in connection with audits of the Partnership shall be
binding upon such Partners and that such Partner shall not independently act with respect to tax
audits or tax litigation affecting the Partnership. The Partnership Representative shall have sole
discretion to determine whether the Partnership (either on its own behalf or on behalf of the
Partners) will contest or continue to contest any tax deficiencies assessed or proposed to be
assessed by any taxing authority or other governmental agency.
35
EFTA00806020
CONFIDENTIAL
(0 BBA Elections and Procedures. In the event of an audit of the Partnership
that is subject to the partnership audit procedures enacted under Section 1101 of the BBA (the
"BBA Procedures"), the Partnership Representative, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to
make any and all elections and to take any actions that are available to be made or taken by the
Partnership Representative or the Partnership under the BBA Procedures (including any election
under Code Section 6226 as amended by the BBA). If an election under Code Section 6226(a)
(as amended by the BBA) is made, the Partnership shall furnish to each Partner for the year
under audit a statement of the Partner's share of any adjustment set forth in the notice of final
partnership adjustment, and each Partner shall take such adjustment into account as required
under Code Section 6226(b) (as amended by the BBA).
(g) Tax Returns and Tax Deficiencies. Each Partner agrees that such Partner
shall not treat any Partnership item inconsistently on such Partner's federal, state, foreign or
other income tax return with the treatment of the item on the Partnership's return. Any deficiency
for taxes imposed on any Partner (including penalties, additions to tax or interest imposed with
respect to such taxes and any tax deficiency imposed pursuant to Code Section 6226 as amended
by the BBA) will be paid by such Partner and if required to be paid (and actually paid) by the
Partnership, will be recoverable from such Partner. To the extent that the Partnership
Representative does not make an election under Code Section 6221(b) or Code Section 6226
(each as amended by the BBA), the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i)
make any modifications available under Code Section 6225(c)(3), (4), and (5), as amended by
the BBA, and (ii) if requested by a Partner, provide to such Partner information allowing such
Partner to file an amended federal income tax return, as described in Code Section 6225(c)(2) as
amended by the BBA, to the extent such amended return and payment of any related federal
income taxes would reduce any taxes payable by the Partnership.
(h) Change in Law. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the
contrary, in the event that the General Partner determines in good faith, after consultation with
the Partnership's tax advisors, that there has been a significant change (or there is a significant
likelihood of a such a change) to the expected income tax consequences associated with the
receipt (or allocation) of the General Partner's "carried interest" (any such determination, a
"Significant Change Determination"), then the General Partner shall be entitled to take any
action (including amending this Agreement) that the General Partner believes to be reasonably
necessary to mitigate the impact of any such actual or expected change in law (provided,
however, that if such action materially and adversely affects (as such phrase is applied by giving
effect to the final sentence of this Section 14.7(h)) any Limited Partner, then such action may not
be taken without the consent of a majority-in-interest of the Limited Partners). The General
Partner shall promptly notify the Limited Partners in the event it makes a Significant Change
Determination, and any such determination shall be conclusive and binding unless, within ten
(10) Business Days of the date of such notice, a majority-in-interest of the Limited Partners
notifies the General Partner that they do not believe such determination was made in good faith,
in which case the dispute as to whether such determination was made in good faith shall be
settled in accordance with Section 14.8(j). For purposes of this Section 14.7(h), the Limited
Partners agree that the following shall not be deemed "material and adverse effects" for the
Limited Partners: (i) the costs of assessing, evaluating, processing or otherwise responding to
proposed amendments (including the fees and costs of attorneys, accountants and other advisors
36
EFTA00806021
CONFIDENTIAL
engaged in connection therewith); (ii) accounting and similar administrative costs; and (iii) any
costs or burdens of a de minimis nature.
14.8 General Provisions.
(a) Power of Attorney. Each of the undersigned by execution of this
Agreement (including by execution of a counterpart signature page hereto directly or by power
of attorney) constitutes and appoints the General Partner as its true and lawful representative and
attorney-in-fact, in its name, place and stead, to make, execute, sign, acknowledge and deliver or
file (i) the Certificate of Limited Partnership and any other instruments, documents and
certificates which may from time to time be required by any law to effectuate, implement and
continue the valid and subsisting existence of the Partnership, (ii) all instruments, documents and
certificates that may be required to effectuate the dissolution and termination of the Partnership
in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Delaware Act, (iii) all other amendments of this
Agreement or the Certificate of Limited Partnership contemplated by this Agreement including,
without limitation, amendments reflecting the addition or substitution of any Partner, or any
action of the Partners duly taken pursuant to this Agreement whether or not such Partner voted in
favor of or otherwise approved such action, (iv) any other instrument, certificate or document
required from time to time to admit a Partner, to effect its substitution as a Partner, to effect the
substitution of the Partner's assignee as a Partner, or to reflect any action of the Partners
provided for in this Agreement, and (v) any other instrument, certificate or document required
from time to time to effect the Transfer of a Defaulting Partner's interest; provided, however,
that no actions shall be taken by the General Partner under the power of attorney granted
pursuant to this Section 14.8(a) that would have any adverse effect on the limited liability of any
Limited Partner. The foregoing grant of authority (1) is a special power of attorney coupled with
an interest in favor of the General Partner and as such shall be irrevocable and shall survive the
death or disability of a Partner that is a natural person or the merger, dissolution or other
termination of the existence of a Partner that is a corporation, association, partnership, limited
liability company or trust, and (2) shall survive the assignment by the Partner of the whole or any
portion of its interest, except that where the assignee of the whole thereof has appointed the
General Partner as its true and lawful attorney in fact on the terms hereof attorney, this power of
attorney shall survive such assignment for the sole purpose of enabling the General Partner to
execute, acknowledge and file any instrument necessary to effect any permitted substitution of
the assignee for the assignor as a Partner and shall thereafter terminate. This power of attorney
may be exercised by such attorney in fact and agent for each of the Limited Partners (or any of
them) by a single signature of the General Partner acting as attorney in fact with or without
listing all of the Limited Partners executing an instrument.
(b) Execution of Additional Documents. Each Partner hereby agrees to
execute all certificates, counterparts, amendments, instruments or documents that may be
required by laws of the various jurisdictions in which the Partnership conducts its activities, to
conform with the laws of such jurisdictions governing limited partnerships.
(c) Binding on Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives
of the parties hereto.
37
EFTA00806022
CONFIDENTIAL
(d) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware.
(e) Waiver of Partition. Each Partner hereby irrevocably waives any and all
rights that it may have to maintain an action for partition of any of the Partnership's property.
(0 Securities Law Matters. Each Partner understands that in addition to the
restrictions on transfer contained in this Agreement, it must bear the economic risks of its
investment for an indefinite period because the Partnership interests have not been registered
under the Securities Act or under any applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction
and, therefore, may not be sold or otherwise transferred unless they are registered under the
Securities Act and any such other applicable securities laws or an exemption from such
registration is available.
(g) [Japanese Securities Laws. Each Limited Partner who is a Japanese
resident or who is otherwise subject in any way to Japanese securities regulations generally
(each, a "Japanese Investor") understands that (i) no securities registration statement pursuant
to Article 4, Paragraph 1 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan (the "FIEL")
has been prepared or filed with any authority with respect to the solicitation of an offer to acquire
the interests in the Partnership, because such solicitation would constitute a "solicitation for a
small number of people" (defined in Article 23-13, Paragraph 4 of the FIEL) and (ii) the interests
in the Partnership constitute rights deemed to be securities as set forth in Article 2, Paragraph 2,
Item 6 of the FIEL. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (1) in the
case that a Japanese Investor is not a qualified institutional investor (tekikakukikantoshika) as
provided for in Article 2, Paragraph 3, Item 1 of the FIEL (a "QII") when it subscribes for its
interest in the Partnership (the interest in the Partnership of any such Japanese Investor, a "Non-
QII Interest"), no Transfer of such Non-QII Interest may be made unless such Transfer includes
all of such Non-QII Interest and is made to a single transferee who does not fall under any of the
sub-items of Article 63, Paragraph 1, Item 1 of the FIEL and (2) in the case that a Japanese
Investor is a QII when it subscribes for its interest in the Partnership (the interest in the
Partnership of any such Japanese Investor, a "QII Interest"), it may not, directly or indirectly
Transfer its QII Interest (or any interest therein) in whole or in part other than to a QII who does
not fall under any of the sub-items of Article 63, Paragraph 1, Item 1 of the FIEL and,
furthermore, in the case of a Transfer of such QII Interest by any transferee, such transferee may
not, directly or indirectly Transfer its QII Interest (or any interest therein) in whole or in part
other than to a QII who does not fall under any of the sub-items of Article 63, Paragraph 1,
Item 1 of the FIEL.]'
(h) Confidentiality.
(i) A Limited Partner's rights to access or receive any information
about the Partnership or its business including, without limitation, (1) information to which a
Limited Partner is provided access pursuant to Section 14.2, (2) financial statements, reports and
I Subject to further review.
38
EFTA00806023
CONFIDENTIAL
other information provided pursuant to Section 14.3, and (3) the offering documents for the
Partnership, this Agreement, any subscription agreement and any other related agreements (the
"Partnership Information"), are conditioned on such Limited Partner's willingness and ability
to assure that the Partnership Information will be used solely by such Limited Partner for
purposes reasonably related to such Limited Partner's interest as a Limited Partner, and that such
Partnership Information will not become publicly available as a result of such Limited Partner's
rights to access or receive such Partnership Information.
(ii) Each Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that the Partnership
Information constitutes a valuable trade secret of the Partnership and agrees to maintain any
Partnership Information provided to it in the strictest confidence and not to disclose the
Partnership Information to any person other than to its officers, fiduciaries, employees, agents or
consultants who have a business need to know such Partnership Information, who have been
informed of the confidential nature of such Partnership Information, and who are, either by the
nature of their positions or duties or pursuant to written agreement, subject to substantially
equivalent restrictions with respect to the use and disclosure of the Partnership Information as are
set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner consents to the
disclosure by any Limited Partner that the General Partner determines is a fund-of-funds or
similar entity to such Limited Partner's own equity holders of summary information concerning
the Partnership's financial performance and status; provided, however, that in each instance such
equity holders are, pursuant to a written agreement or other obligation, subject to substantially
equivalent restrictions with respect to the use and disclosure of the Partnership Information as are
set forth in this Agreement. With respect to any Limited Partner, the obligation to maintain the
Partnership Information in confidence shall not apply to any Partnership Information (I) that
becomes publicly available (other than by reason of a disclosure by a Limited Partner), (2) the
disclosure of which has been consented to by the General Partner in writing, or (3) the disclosure
of which is required by a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority or
otherwise as required by law. Before any Limited Partner discloses Partnership Information
pursuant to clause (3), such Limited Partner shall promptly, and in any event prior to making any
such disclosure, notify the General Partner of the court order, subpoena, interrogatories,
government order or other reason that requires disclosure of the Partnership Information so that
the General Partner may seek a protective order or other remedy to protect the confidentiality of
the Partnership Information or waive compliance with this Agreement. Such Limited Partner
shall also consult with the General Partner on the advisability of taking steps to eliminate or
narrow the requirement to disclose the Partnership Information and shall otherwise cooperate
with the efforts of the General Partner to obtain a protective order or other remedy to protect the
Partnership Information. If a protective order or other remedy cannot be obtained, such Limited
Partner shall disclose only that Partnership Information that its counsel advises in writing (which
writing shall also be addressed and delivered to the Partnership) that it is legally required to
disclose.
(iii) Each Limited Partner shall promptly notify the General Partner if it
becomes aware of any reason, whether under law, regulation, policy or otherwise, that it will, or
might become compelled to, use the Partnership Information other than as contemplated by
Section 14.8(h)(i) or disclose Partnership Information in violation of the confidentiality
restrictions in Section 14.8(h)(ii).

EFTA00806024
CONFIDENTIAL
(iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, with the
exception of the Schedule K-1 or equivalent report to be provided to each Partner pursuant to
Section 14.3(b), the General Partner shall have the right not to provide any Limited Partner, for
such period of time as the General Partner in good faith determines to be advisable, with any
Partnership Information that such Limited Partner would otherwise be entitled to receive or to
have access to pursuant to this Agreement (including without limitation pursuant to Section 14.2)
or the Delaware Act i£ (1) the Partnership, the General Partner or any of their respective
officers, members or Affiliates is required by law or by agreement with a third party to keep such
Partnership Information confidential; (2) the General Partner in good faith believes that the
disclosure of such Partnership Information to such Limited Partner is not in the best interest of
the Partnership or could damage the Partnership or its business (which may include a
determination by the General Partner that such Limited Partner or one or more of its equity
holders is disclosing or may disclose such Partnership Information and that the potential of such
disclosure by such Person is not in the best interest of the Partnership or could damage the
Partnership or its business or that of a Portfolio Company) or (3) such Limited Partner has
notified the General Partner of its election not to have access to, or to receive such Partnership
Information.
(v) The Limited Partners acknowledge and agree that: (1) the
Partnership or the General Partner and their respective Affiliates may acquire confidential
information related to third parties (e.g., Portfolio Companies) that pursuant to fiduciary,
contractual, legal or similar obligations cannot be disclosed to the Limited Partners; and
(2) neither the Partnership nor the General Partner and their respective Affiliates shall be in
breach of any duty under this Agreement or the Delaware Act in consequence of acquiring,
holding or failing to disclose such information to the Limited Partners so long as such
obligations were undertaken in good faith.
(vi) In addition to any other remedies available at law, the Partners
agree that the Partnership shall be entitled to equitable relief, including, without limitation, the
right to an injunction or restraining order, as a remedy for any failure by a Limited Partner to
comply with its obligations with respect to the use and disclosure of Partnership Information, as
set forth in Section 14.8(hl(i) and Section 14.8(h)(ii).
(i) Contract Construction; Headings; Counterparts. Whenever the context of
this Agreement permits, the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders, and
reference to singular or plural shall be interchangeable with the other. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any one or more provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the other
provisions, and this Agreement shall be construed and reformed in all respects as if any such
invalid or unenforceable provision(s) were omitted or, at the direction of a court, modified in
order to give effect to the intent and purposes of this Agreement. References in this Agreement
to particular sections of the Code or the Delaware Act or any other statute shall be deemed to
refer to such sections or provisions as they may be amended after the date of this Agreement.
Captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not define or limit any term of this
Agreement. It is the intention of the parties that every covenant, term, and provision of this
Agreement shall be construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against
any party (notwithstanding any rule of law requiring an Agreement to be strictly construed
40
EFTA00806025
CONFIDENTIAL
against the drafting party), it being understood that the parties to this Agreement are
sophisticated and have had adequate opportunity and means to retain counsel to represent their
interests and to otherwise negotiate the provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of the
Delaware Act, the Limited Partners shall constitute a single class or group of limited partners.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but
all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be
delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with
the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and
any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be
valid and effective for all purposes.
(j) Arbitration. Except as otherwise agreed to by the General Partner and a
Limited Partner with respect to any particular controversy or claim, any controversy or claim
arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled through binding arbitration in
accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon an award
arising in connection therewith may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any
arbitration, mediation, court action, or other adjudicative proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts or, if such proceeding cannot be lawfully
held in such location, as near thereto as applicable law permits.

APPENDIX II
REGULATORY AND TAX ALLOCATIONS
The provisions of this Appendix II are included in order to enable the Partnership to
comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2Xiv).
1. Regulatory Allocations and Allocations Involving Nonrecourse Indebtedness.
The following provisions are included in order to comply with tax rules set forth in the Internal
Revenue Code and to permit the Partnership to obtain the benefits of a "safe harbor" provided by
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and apply notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in Section 8.2 and Section 8.3.
1.1 Minimum Gain Chargeback. Items of income or gain (computed with
the adjustments contained in the definition of "Net Gain" and "Net Loss") for any
taxable period shall be allocated to the Partners in the manner and to the minimum extent
required by the "minimum gain chargeback" provisions of Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-2(f) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4).
1.2 Nonrecourse Deductions. All "nonrecourse deductions" (as defined in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) of the Partnership for any year shall be
allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Contributions; provided,
however, that nonrecourse deductions attributable to "partner nonrecourse debt" (as
defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated to the Partners in
accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(1).
1.3 Limit on Loss and Deduction Allocations. In no event shall any items of
loss or deduction (computed with the adjustments contained in the definition of "Net
Gain" and "Net Loss") be allocated to a Partner if such allocation would cause or
increase a negative balance in such Partner's Capital Account (determined for this
purpose, by increasing the Partner's Capital Account balance by the amount the Partner is
obligated to restore to the Partnership within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iiXc) or is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Sections 1.704-2(g) and I.704-2(i)(5) and decreasing it by the amounts specified in
Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2Xii)(d)(4), (5) and (6)).
1.4 Qualified Income Offset. Items of income or gain (computed with the
adjustments contained in the definition of "Net Gain" and "Net Loss") for any taxable
period shall be allocated to the Partners in the manner and to the extent required by the
"qualified income offset" provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).
1.5 Gross Income Allocation. Items of income or gain (computed with the
adjustments contained in the definition of "Net Gain" and "Net Loss") for any taxable
period shall be allocated to the Partners in the amount of (and in proportion to) any
negative balance in such Partner's Capital Account (determined for this purpose, by
increasing the Partner's Capital Account balance by the amount the Partner is obligated
to restore to the Partnership within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-
1(b)(2)(iiXc) or is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections
EFTA00806034
CONFIDENTIAL
1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5) and decreasing it by the amounts specified in Treasury
Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6)).
1.6 Offsetting Allocations. The allocations set forth in paragraphs 1.3, 1.4
and 1.5 hereof (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain
requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b). Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory
Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating subsequent Net Gain, Net Loss and
other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Partners so that, to the extent
possible, the net amount of such allocations of subsequent Net Gain, Net Loss and other
items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Partner shall be equal to the net amount that
would have been allocated to each such Partner pursuant to the provisions of Article VIII
of the Agreement if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.
2. Adjustments to Reflect Changes in Interests. With respect to any fiscal period
during which any Partner's interest in the Partnership changes, allocations under this Agreement
(including Section 6.3(e)(iii) and Section 8.4) shall be adjusted appropriately to take into account
the varying interests of the Partners during such period in accordance with the requirements of
Section 706(d) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder.
3. Special Allocations to Reflect Economic Interests. The General Partner is
authorized to modify the allocations otherwise provided for under Article VIII and this Appendix
II, including by specially allocating items of gross income, gain, loss, or expense among the
Partners, if advised by the Partnership's tax advisors that such modifications or such special
allocations will cause the Capital Accounts of the Partners to reflect more closely the Partners'
relative economic interests in the Partnership as set forth in Article VIII and Article X.
4. Tax Allocations. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement or this
Appendix II or as required by Section 704 of the Code, for tax purposes, all items of income,
gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be allocated to the Partners in the same manner as are Net
Gains and Net Losses; provided, however, that if the Carrying Value of any property of the
Partnership differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes, then items of income, gain, loss,
deduction or credit related to such property for tax purposes shall be allocated among the
Partners so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted basis of the property for tax
purposes and its Carrying Value in the manner provided for under Section 704(c) of the Code.
