Partner (hereinafter the General Partner and the Limited Partners shall be referred to collectively as the
"Partners" and each individually as a "Partner"), the amount of such Partner's Capital Commitment to
the Partnership, and such Partner's Partnership Percentage are set forth on a separate and confidential
EXHIBIT A hereto, marked as EXIIIBIT A-1 thru EXHIBIT A-i (with a separate EXHIBIT A for each Partner).
The General Partner shall cause EXHIBIT A to be amended from time to time to reflect the admission of
any new Partner, the withdrawal or substitution of any Partner, the transfer of interests among Partners,

3.2 Admission of Additional Partners.
(a) Except as provided in paragraphs 3.2(b), 4.5(bXvii)(4) and 9.6, an additional
person may be admitted as a Partner only with the consent of the General Partner and Eighty Percent in
Interest of the Limited Partners.
(b) Notwithstanding subparagraph (a) above, additional persons may be admitted as
Limited Partners (or existing Limited Partners may increase their Capital Commitments) with the consent
of only the General Partner on or before the date that is sianine (62) months after the Initial
GlesingCommencement Date; provided that the aggregate capital commitments to the Partnership and the
Parallel Funds shall not exceed two hundred and-fifty-million dollars ($2500,000,000).
(c) Each additional person admitted as a Limited Partner subsequent to the Initial
Closing Date (and each existing Limited Partner that increases its Capital Commitment) shall (i) execute
2.
147765658 v44
EFTA00808286
and deliver to the Partnership a counterpart of this Agreement or otherwise take such actions as the
General Partner shall deem appropriate in order for such Limited Partner to become bound by the terms of
this Agreement, (ii) contribute that portion of its (or such) Capital Commitment which is equal to the
portion of the respective Capital Commitments contributed to date by the Partnership's previously
admitted Limited Partners, and (iii) pay to the Partnership a "Late Admission Charge" (which shall be
deemed Ordinary Income of the Partnership and not be treated as a capital contribution) equal to interest
on the amount contributed by such Partner pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) at an annual interest rate
that is two hundred basis points (2.0%) higher than the Prime Rate (determined as of the close of business
on the date of such admission or increase), compounded daily, from the date(s) that such Partner would
have been required to contribute such amount if it had been admitted (or had such increased Capital
Commitment) at-the-initial-Glesingas of the Rartnershiplnitial Closing Date; provided that this clause (iii)
shall not apply to a Limited Partner admitted to the Partnership (or allowed to increase its Capital

Limited Partner may be paid to the Partnership through an offsetting reduction in such Limited Partner's
Capital Account balance.
(d) Upon the admission of any additional Limited Partner pursuant to this paragraph
3.2, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, make a special distribution of all or a portion of the
initial contribution of capital made by such additional Limited Partner. Such distribution shall be made to
all Partners in accordance with Partnership Percentages (as adjusted to reflect the admission of such
additional Limited Partner) and shall be deemed to be a return of capital to such Partners; provided,
however, that such Partners shall be deemed, for the purposes of paragraph 4.2, not to have contributed
the amount of such distribution, and the amounts of their respective unfunded Capital Commitments shall
be increased accordingly.
3.3 Removal of the General Partner.
(a) Immediately following a Trigger Event (as defined below), the General Partner
shall provide notice to the Limited Partners of the Trigger Event, and at the election of Two-Thirds in
Interest of the Limited Partners, pursuant to a vote occurring during any time during the one hundred and
eighty (180) day period following such notice to the Limited Partners, the General Partner may be
removed from its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership.
(b) In the event of the removal of the General Partner pursuant to paragraph 3.3(a),
the Limited Partners, acting by the same Percentage in Interest required of the vote to remove, shall be
entitled to appoint a replacement general partner on such economic terms and other terms as the
replacement general partner and a Two-Thirds in Interest of the Limited Partners may agree. In such
event: (i) the removed General Partner shall not be entitled to retain any rights or powers of a general
partner of the Partnership and shall become a special limited partner of the Partnership with a continued
interest in allocations of Profit and Loss and distributions of Partnership cash and assets pursuant to
Articles 5, 7 and 10 hereof; (ii) the removed General Partner shall no longer be required to make
additional capital contributions to the Partnership pursuant to paragraph 4.3 and the removed General
Partner's Capital Commitment shall be equal to the amount actually contributed pursuant to paragraph
4.3; (iii) the removed General Partner shall be entitled to receive all allocations and distributions to which
it would otherwise be entitled to receive had it not been removed when, as and if such allocations and
distributions are made, in respect of all activities of and investments by the Partnership that occurred or
were committed to by the Partnership prior to the effective date of removal; provided, however, that the
removed General Partner shall be entitled to receive one hundred percent (100%) of all allocations and
3.
147765658 •44
EFTA00808287
distributions in respect of its capital contributions; (iv) the removed General Partner shall not be entitled
to receive any payments of management fee pursuant to paragraph 6.1 with respect to any period of time
after the date of its removal; (v) the removed General Partner and any Indemnified Party shall remain
entitled to exculpation and indemnification pursuant to paragraphs 15.3 and 15.4 with respect to any
matter arising prior to or out of events or circumstances existing prior to the General Partner's removal;
and (vi) an interest in the Partnership equal to the General Partner's unfunded Capital Commitment and
the remaining carried interest in the Partnership shall be transferred to the replacement general partner
upon its admission to the Partnership.
(c) For purposes of this paragraph 3.3, a "Trigger Event' shall have occurred if the
General Partner or any Managing Member is (i) found by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitration
carried out pursuant to paragraph 15.5 to have committed (or enters a plea of nolo contendere to having
committed) embezzlement, fraud or any other act involving material improper personal benefit against the
Partnership or its assets, or (ii) is convicted of a violation of federal or state securities law or a felony (but
not including a felony involving the use of a motor vehicle) in a manner that had a material adverse effect
on the Partnership; provided, however, that no Trigger Event shall be deemed to have occurred if, in the
case of acts by a Managing Member, the offending individual is removed as a managing member of the
General Partner within thirty (30) days after the court judgment or arbitration decision, or conviction,
which would otherwise have given rise to a Trigger Event under this paragraph 3.3.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in paragraph 15.11 and in the event of any election
made to remove the General Partner, the Partners agree to amend this Agreement in good faith in order to
give effect to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 3.3, including but not limited to revising Exhibit
A to reflect changes in the Partners' identities, Capital Commitments and Partnership Percentages.
The General Partner shall promptly notify the Limited Partners if the General
Partner or any Managing Member is found to have committed (or enters a plea of nolo contendere to
having committed) embezzlement, fraud or any other act involving material improper personal benefit, or
is convicted of a violation of federal or state securities law or a felony, regardless of whether any such act
relates to the Partnership or not.
ARTICLE 4
CAPITAL ACCOUNTS, CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS
AND NONCONTRIBUTING PARTNERS
4.1 Capital Accounts. An individual Capital Account shall be maintained for each Partner.
4.2 Capital Contributions of the Limited Partners.
(a) Each Limited Partner shall contribute capital to the Partnership as requested by
the General Partner upon ten (10) business days' prior written notice (which such notice shall be given by
electronic mail or by a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, in
accordance with paragraph 15.9); provided, that the initial capital contribution from each Limited Partner
shall not be due earlier than January 1, 20168. The General Partner may request capital contributions
from the Limited Partners, on the terms specified in this paragraph 4.2(a) or as altered under a Side Letter.
Except as set forth in paragraphs 3.2(c) and 4.2(b), each capital contribution shall be in accordance with
Partnership Percentages; provided, however, that the capital contributions from the Limited Partners may
be adjusted by the General Partner in good faith in order to account for the fact that no Management Fee
is chargeable in respect of the General Partner's interest in the Partnership. Notwithstanding anything in
the foregoing to the contrary, no Limited Partner shall be required to contribute any capital after the fifth
4.
147765658 v44
EFTA00808288
anniversary of the Commencement Date (the period between the Commencement Date and the fifth
anniversary thereof being referred to herein as the "Commitment Period"), except as may be necessary
for (a) Partnership expenses, including, but not limited to, payment of any Management Fee (as defined
below) due to the General Partner; (b) completion of transactions evidenced by a written terms sheet (or
other similar statement of intent to make an investment that has been executed by the Partnership) prior to
the end of the Commitment Period; (c) follow-on investments in the Securities of issuers in which the
Partnership holds a pre-existing interest as of the date of such proposed follow-on investment; and (d)
fulfillment of such Limited Partner's obligations pursuant to paragraph 4.2(d)(i). Further, each Limited
Partner's obligation to contribute capital shall also be subject to those limitations set forth in paragraph
4.6. Each capital contribution by any Limited Partner shall be made in U.S. dollars and made in cash or
by transfer of immediately-available funds.
(b) Notwithstanding paragraph 4.2(a), with respect to the Partnership's initial request
for capital contributions under this paragraph 4.2, in the event that the sum of the Capital Commitments
of all Limited Partners that are "benefit plan investors" is such as would make their "equity participation"
in the Partnership "significant," within the meaning of those terms under U.S. Department of Labor
Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") (the "DOL Regulations"), then no such Limited Partner shall be
required to contribute capital to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement until such time as the General
Partner shall have delivered to such Limited Partner an opinion of counsel (which opinion and counsel
shall be reasonably acceptable to the Limited Partner) to the effect that the Partnership's first portfolio
company investment (other than a short-term investment of funds pending long-term commitment) has
qualified or will qualify upon the funding of each Limited Partner's initial capital contribution as a
"venture capital investment" within the meaning of the DOL Regulations such that the Partnership will
qualify as a "venture capital operating company" (a "VCOC') within the meaning of the DOL
Regulations (the "VCOC Opinion"). In the event that such a Limited Partner has not received the VCOC
Opinion prior to the date on which any capital contribution would otherwise be due under paragraph
4.2(a), such Limited Partner shall pay such capital contribution into an interest-bearing escrow account
designated by the General Partner. The terms of any such escrow account shall be determined by the
General Partner in compliance with ERISA (including the principles and conditions indicated in Dept. of
Labor Adv. Op. 95-04A), to the extent applicable. Upon delivery of the VCOC Opinion, all amounts in
the escrow account shall be delivered to the Partnership in fulfillment of such Limited Partner's
then-outstanding obligations under paragraph 4.2(a).
(c) The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, return to the Partners all or a
portion of any capital contribution intended for a proposed investment which is not consummated as
anticipated pro rata in accordance with their respective capital contributions; provided, however, that
such returned capital shall be added back to unfunded Capital Commitments pro raw in accordance with
the percentages in which such returned capital was attributed to the Capital Commitments when such
capital was called and be subject to recall by the General Partner pursuant to this Article 4.
(d) If, in the discretion of the General Partner, Partnership assets are
insufficient to fulfill any indemnification obligation of the Partnership pursuant to paragraph 15.4 prior to
the final liquidation of the Partnership, the General Partner may to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law require each Partner to contribute capital to the Partnership in an amount up to such
Partner's unfunded Capital Commitment, if any.
(ii) If, in the discretion of the General Partner, Partnership assets remain
insufficient to fulfill any indemnification obligation of the Partnership pursuant to paragraph 15.4, and
following the contribution to the Partnership of the maximum amount then permitted by paragraph
4.2(d)(i), the General Partner may recall distributions previously made to the Partners solely for the
5.
147765658 v44
EFTA00808289
purpose of fulfilling or satisfying such an obligation or liability. Such distributions shall be recalled from
the Partners in the same proportions as the expense (or loss) of the indemnity obligation giving rise to
such recontribution was allocated to the Partners pursuant to Article 5. In no event shall any Partner be
required to contribute capital pursuant to this paragraph 4.2(d)(ii) in an amount in excess of the lesser of
(I) all distributions previously received by the Partner from the Partnership or (2) twenty-five percent
(25%) of such Partner's Capital Commitment. In no event will the General Partner be permitted to call
capital pursuant to this paragraph 4.2(d)(ii) in connection with a certain distribution after the earlier of
(A) the date two (2) years after the Termination Date (or any subsequent date to which the Partnership
term has previously been extended pursuant to paragraph 10.1) and (B) the date three (3) years after the
date of such distribution.
(iii) In the event that the Partners are required to return distributions as
provided in paragraph 4.2(dXii) following the final liquidation of the Partnership, paragraph 10.5 shall be
reapplied to account for the associated indemnification expense and, to the extent that the General Partner
would have any additional obligation to return capital pursuant to paragraph 10.5 as a result of such
reapplication (the "Paragraph 10.5 Reapplication Amount), the proportions in which the Partners bear
the return obligation pursuant to paragraph 4.2(dXii) shall be appropriately adjusted by increasing the
General Partner's obligation to contribute capital to the Partnership pursuant to paragraph 4.2(d)(ii) by the
Paragraph 10.5 Reapplication Amount, and reducing the aggregate obligation of the Limited Partners to
contribute capital pursuant to paragraph 4.2(d)(ii) by a like amount. For the purpose of this paragraph
4.2(d)(iii) only, the aggregate maximum amount that the General Partner may be required to return to the
Partnership pursuant to paragraph 10.5 shall not be limited to After-Tax Distribution Amount.
4.3 Capital Contributions of the General Partner. The General Partner and/or its
designated Affiliate shall contribute capital to the Partnership, and have a Capital Commitment, in an
amount equal to 1.0028% of the aggregate Capital Commitments of all Partners, on the same schedule
and terms under which any Limited Partner makes a contribution. Further, the General Partner or its
Affiliates, or their respective members, may contribute additional capital to one or more Parallel Funds.
Twenty percent (20%) of each capital contribution made by the General Partner or its designated Affiliate
shall be made in cash. Eighty percent (80%) of each capital contribution made by the General Partner or
its designated Affiliate shall not be made in cash, but shall be deemed to have been made by the General
Partner or its designated Affiliate and shall result in a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the amount of
management fee that it would otherwise receive pursuant to paragraph 6.1 in the manner set forth in
paragraph 6.1(cXii) (the amount of each such deemed contribution, a "Cashless Contribution"). If a
designated Affiliate of the General Partner makes the Capital Commitment described in this paragraph
4.3, then the interest so held by the designated Affiliate shall be a Limited Partner's interest and treated as
an interest held by a Limited Partner for all purposes under this Agreement.
4.4 Acquisition of an Additional Interest by the General Partner. In the event that the
General Partner or its designated Affiliate acquires or holds an additional interest in the Partnership with a
Capital Commitment that exceeds 4410281.0% of the aggregate Capital Commitments of all Partners
(pursuant to a transfer from another Limited Partner or otherwise), the General Partner shall have two (2)
Partnership Percentages and two (2) Capital Account balances for purposes of making Partnership
allocations—(4flekieting—aarrealleeatien—ef--Centingent—hesses—pursufrat—te—pacagraph-5,33, as if such
additional excess interest were held by a separate entity which is a Limited Partner, although for all other
purposes the General Partner shall have only one Capital Account.
4.5 Noncontributing Partners.
(a) The Partnership shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of each Limited
Partner to make the contributions to capital set forth in paragraph 4.2, and the Partnership shall have all
6.
147765658 44
EFTA00808290
remedies available at law or in equity in the event any such contribution is not so made. If any legal
proceedings relating to the failure of a Limited Partner to make such a contribution are commenced, such
Limited Partner shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership, including attorneys' fees and
expenses, in connection with such proceedings.
(b) Additionally, without in any way limiting any remedy which the Partnership may
pursue pursuant to paragraph 4.5(a), should any Limited Partner fail to make any of the capital
contributions required of it under this Agreement, such Limited Partner shall be in default. In the event of
such default, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, elect to enforce one or more of the provisions
of this paragraph 4.5(b) in connection with such a default, to which each Limited Partner hereby
expressly consents, provided such default shall have continued uncured for ten (10) or more days after
delivery of the Default Notice described in the following sentence (after such ten (10)-day period, such
Limited Partner shall be deemed a "Defaulting Limited Partner"). The General Partner shall deliver
written notice to such Defaulting Limited Partner in the event that it determines to utilize one or more of
the powers set forth in this paragraph 4.5(b) (a "Default Notice"). If the default shall have continued
uncured for ten (10) or more days after delivery of the Default Notice, the Defaulting Limited Partner
may not make any additional contributions of capital against such Defaulting Limited Partner's Capital
Commitment (other than to fund Management Fees and other expenses of the Partnership) without the
written consent of the General Partner, which consent may be granted or denied in the sole discretion of
the General Partner. In enforcing any of the following provisions of this paragraph 4.5(b) against a
Defaulting Limited Partner, the General Partner agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
enforce such provisions against such Defaulting Limited Partner in a manner so as to prevent the other
non-Defaulting Limited Partners from bearing a net economic burden attributable to Management Fees
that, absent such default, would be borne by the Defaulting Limited Partner if the Defaulting Limited
Partner were to retain its interest in the Partnership and make capital contributions in respect thereof.
The General Partner may waive, in whole or in part, the requirement of
payment with respect to any due and unpaid capital contributions by a Defaulting Limited Partner
pursuant to this Agreement and reduce such Defaulting Limited Partner's Capital Commitment
accordingly.
(ii) The General Partner may extend the time of payment for a Defaulting
Limited Partner of any due and unpaid capital contributions by such Defaulting Limited Partner pursuant
to this Agreement.
(iii) The General Partner may declare the entire amount of a Defaulting
Limited Partner's then unfunded Capital Commitment to be immediately due and payable.
(iv) On behalf of the Partnership, the General Partner may enforce, by
appropriate legal proceedings, the Defaulting Limited Partner's obligation to make payment on the
amount of any due and unpaid capital contributions by such Defaulting Limited Partner pursuant to this
Agreement or to pay the entire amount of such Defaulting Limited Partner's then unfunded Capital
Commitment.
(v) The Defaulting Limited Partner shall have no right to participate in any
vote or consent of the Partners required under this Agreement or permitted under the Act and the Capital
Commitment of such Defaulting Limited Partner shall not be included for purposes of calculating a
Majority in Interest or other Percentage in Interest of the Limited Partners for purposes of this Agreement.
(vi) Should the General Partner, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the
provisions of this paragraph 4.5(bXvi), such Defaulting Limited Partner shall pay all expenses to be
7.
147765658 v44
EFTA00808291
incurred or anticipated to be incurred by the Partnership in connection with the default and interest on the
amount of the contribution to the Partnership then due at the Prime Rate plus one hundred (100) basis
points per annum (or if less, the highest rate permitted by applicable law), such interest to accrue from the
date the contribution to the Partnership was required to be made pursuant to this Agreement until the date
the contribution is made by such Defaulting Limited Partner, unless such payment is waived by the
General Partner. The accrued interest shall be paid by the Defaulting Limited Partner to the Partnership
upon payment of such contribution. The accrued interest so paid shall not be treated as an additional
contribution to the capital of the Partnership, but shall be deemed to be income to the Partnership;
provided, however, that such income shall not be allocated to the Capital Account of the Defaulting
Limited Partner. Until such time as the unpaid contribution and accrued interest thereon shall have been
paid by the Defaulting Limited Partner, the General Partner may elect to withhold any or all distributions
to be made to such Defaulting Limited Partner pursuant to Article 7 or Article 10 and recover any such
unpaid contribution and accrued interest thereon by set off against any such distribution withheld.
(vii) Should the General Partner, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the
provisions of this paragraph 4.5(b)(vii), the General Partner and the nondefaulting Limited Partners (the
"Optionees"), shall have the right and the option, but not the obligation, to acquire the Partnership interest
of the Defaulting Limited Partner (the "Optionor"), as follows:
(1) The General Partner shall notify the Optionees of the default
within twenty (20) days of the expiration of the ten (10) day notice period commencing upon delivery of
the Default Notice. Such notice shall advise each Optionee of the portion and the price of the Optionor's
interest available to it. The portion available to each Optionee shall be a fraction, the numerator of which
is its Capital Commitment and the denominator of which is the aggregate Capital Commitments of the
Optionees. The aggregate price for the Optionor's interest shall be the lesser of fifty percent (50%) of(A)
the amount of the Optionor's Capital Account calculated as of the due date of the additional contribution
and adjusted to reflect the allocation of the appropriate proportion of the Partnership's unrealized gains
and losses as of the due date of such defaulted contribution, and (B) the aggregate amount of the
Optionor's capital contributions actually made less any distributions (valued at their fair market value on
the date of distribution in accordance with paragraph 12.1) on or prior to such due date. The price for each
Optionee shall be prorated according to the portion of the Optionor's interest purchased by each such
Optionee. The option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at any time after the date thirty (30) days
following the date of the initial notice of default from the General Partner to the Optionor by delivery to
the Optionor of a notice of exercise of option together with a nonrecourse promissory note for the
purchase price and a security agreement in accordance with subparagraph (5) below, which notice and
documents the General Partner shall promptly forward to the Optionor.
(2) Should any Optionee not exercise its option within said thirty
(30) day period provided in subparagraph (1), the General Partner shall immediately notify the other
Optionees who have elected to exercise their option, which Optionees shall have the right and option
ratably among them to acquire the portion of the Optionor's interest not so acquired (the "Remaining
Portion") within thirty (30) days of the date of the notice specified in this subparagraph (2) on the same
terms as provided in subparagraph (1).
(3) Any amount of the Remaining Portion not acquired by the
Optionees pursuant to subparagraph (2) may be acquired by the General Partner within thirty (30) days of
the expiration of the thirty (30) day period specified in subparagraph (2) on the same terms as set forth in
subparagraph (1); provided, however, that the General Partner shall not be obligated to make the
additional contributions otherwise due from the Optionor with respect to the Remaining Portion so
acquired.
8.
147765658 v44
EFTA00808292
(4) Any amount of the Remaining Portion not acquired by the
Optionees and the General Partner pursuant to subparagraphs (2) or (3) may, if the General Partner deems
it in the best interest of the Partnership, be sold by the General Partner to any other investor, on terms not
more favorable to such parties than those applicable to the Optionees' option, and upon the consent of the
General Partner, any such third party purchaser may become a Limited Partner to the extent of the interest
purchased hereunder.
(5) The price due from each of the General Partner and the
Optionees (and, if applicable, any third party purchaser pursuant to subparagraph (4)) shall be payable by
a noninterest bearing, nonrecourse promissory note (in such form as the General Partner shall designate)
due upon final liquidation of the Partnership. Each such note shall be secured by the portion of the
Optionor's Partnership interest so purchased by its maker pursuant to a security agreement in a form
designated by the General Partner and shall be enforceable by the Optionor only against such security.
(6) Upon exercise of any option hereunder, each Optionee (and, if
applicable, any third party purchaser pursuant to subparagraph (4)) shall be obligated (A) to contribute to
the Partnership that portion of the additional capital then due from the Optionor equal to the percentage of
the Optionor's interest purchased by such person and (B) except as otherwise provided in subparagraph
(3), to pay the same percentage of any further contributions otherwise due from such Optionor on the date
such contributions are otherwise due. Each person who purchases a portion of the Optionor's Partnership
interest shall be deemed to have acquired such portion as of the due date of the additional capital
contribution with respect to which the Optionor defaulted, and any distributions made after the due date
on account of the Optionor's interest shall be distributed among such purchasers (and, unless the entire
interest was purchased, the Optionor) in accordance with their ultimate respective interests in the
Optionor's interest. Distributions otherwise allocable to the Optionor under the preceding sentence shall
first be used to offset any defaulted contribution of the Optionor still due to the Partnership. Upon
completion of any transaction hereunder, the General Partner shall cause EXHIBIT A to be amended to
reflect all necessary changes resulting therefrom including, without limitation, admission of a purchaser
as a Limited Partner, and adjustment of Capital Account balances, Capital Commitment amounts and
Partnership Percentages as of the date of Optionor's default to reflect the acquisition from Optionor of the
appropriate pro rata portion of each such item (including, if applicable, the reduction of aggregate Capital
Commitments and resulting adjustment of Partnership Percentages in connection with any acquisition of
any Remaining Portion by the General Partner pursuant to subparagraph (3)). The purchase and transfer
of the Partnership interest of the Optionor shall occur automatically upon exercise by any Optionee or the
General Partner of its option hereunder, or by any third-party purchaser pursuant to subparagraph (4),
without any action by Optionor.
(7) Notwithstanding the sale of any portion of an Optionor's interest
pursuant to this paragraph 4.5(b)(vii), such Optionor shall not be released from its unfunded Capital
Commitment except as actually funded by the acquirer of any such portion of Optionor's interest.
(8) In the event that any amount of the Remaining Portion is not
acquired by the Optionees, the General Partner and any third party purchasers pursuant to paragraphs
4.5(b)(viiX1)-(4), then, in its sole discretion, the General Partner may apply any of the remedies described
in paragraphs 4.5(a) and (b) to such unsold portion.
(viii) The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, elect to remove such
Defaulting Limited Partner from the Partnership, in which event (1) fifty percent (50%) of the Defaulting
Limited Partner's Capital Account balance shall be forfeited and reallocated to the Capital Accounts of
the nondefaulting Partners proportionally, based on, with respect to each such Partner, the ratio that its
Partnership Percentage immediately prior to such calculation bears to the aggregate Partnership
9.
147765658 v44
EFTA00808293
Percentages of all Partners (other than the Defaulting Limited Partner), (2) the remaining fifty percent
(50%) of the Defaulting Limited Partner's Capital Account balance shall be payable by the Partnership in
installments over a period of no more than three (3) years from the effective date of the removal of such
Defaulting Limited Partner pursuant to this paragraph 4.5(b)(viii), and (3) the Defaulting Limited
Partner's Partnership Percentage shall be reduced to zero.
(ix) The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, elect to use reasonable
efforts to assist such Defaulting Limited Partner transfer its entire interest in the Partnership.
(x) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each
Limited Partner (I) agrees that it will execute any instruments or perform any other acts that are or may
be necessary to effectuate and carry out the transactions contemplated by this paragraph 4.5, and (2)
designates and appoints the General Partner its true and lawful attorney, in its name, place and stead, to
make, execute, and sign any and all instruments, documents, or certificates on behalf of any Defaulting
Limited Partner in order to give effect to any remedy against such Defaulting Limited Partner (including,
but not limited to, the remedies set forth in this paragraph 4.5(b)).
(xi) The Partners agree that the General Partner's authority and discretion to
enforce any remedy against a Defaulting Limited Partner (including but not limited to the remedies set
forth in this paragraph 4.5(b)) supersede any fiduciary duties of the General Partner to such Defaulting
Limited Partner. The Partners further agree that the remedies set forth in this paragraph 4.5(b) are fair
and reasonable in light of the difficulty in ascertaining the actual damages that would be incurred by the
Partnership and the nondefaulting Partners as a result of the Defaulting Limited Partner's failure to
contribute capital when due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(xii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph 4.5, a
Regulated Partner shall not be declared to be in default by the General Partner with respect to any due and
unpaid capital contributions in the event that such Regulated Partner is entitled to withdraw from the
Partnership (or the General Partner has requested such withdrawal) pursuant to Article 13 and the failure
to make such due and unpaid capital contributions is the consequence of or attributable to such
withdrawal.
4.6 Suspension Period.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no
Limited Partner shall be required to contribute capital to the Partnership in respect of its Capital
Commitment during any Suspension Period (as defined in paragraph 4.6(b)) except for:
Partnership expenses, including payment of any Management Fee due to
the General Partner;
(ii) follow-on investments in portfolio companies in which the Partnership
had invested prior to commencement of the Suspension Period, so long as the Advisory Committee
consents to each such follow-on investment;
(iii) investments which the Partnership had committed to make as evidenced
by a written term sheet prior to commencement of the Suspension Period; and
(iv) fulfillment of such Limited Partner's obligations pursuant to paragraph
4.2(d).
10.
147765658 v44
EFTA00808294
(b) In the event that either (i) James Fitzgerald or (ii) Andrew McCormack (each, a
"Managing Member," and together, the "Managing Members") ceases to be a managing member of the
General Partner, or otherwise ceases to participate in the management of the Partnership or fails to meet
his obligation to devote his business time to the Partnership to the extent required under paragraphs 8.3(a)
or 8.3(b) (the "Suspension Event'), the Commitment Period shall automatically be suspended and a
"Suspension Period" shall begin (during which the activities described in paragraph 4.6(a) shall not be
permitted).
(c) Upon the occurrence of a Suspension Event, the General Partner shall promptly
notify the Limited Partners of the Suspension Event, and shall promptly circulate a written ballot to the
Limited Partners which asks the Limited Partners to vote on whether the Commitment Period shall be
terminated as a result of such Suspension Event, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the
Limited Partners cast their vote on such ballot. If a Two-Thirds in Interest of the Limited Partners do not
affirmatively vote to end the Suspension Period within one hundred eighty (180) days of the
commencement of the Suspension Period, the Commitment Period shall be automatically terminated and
the Suspension Period shall continue. If a Two-Thirds in Interest of the Limited Partners do affirmatively
vote to terminate the Suspension Period within one hundred eighty (180) days of the commencement of
the Suspension Period, then the Suspension Period shall be automatically terminated and the Commitment
Period shall be reinstated. Notwithstanding the preceding or any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, a Suspension Period may be terminated, and the Commitment Period shall be reinstated, at any
time upon the affirmative vote of a Two-Thirds in Interest of the Limited Partners.
ARTICLE 5
PARTNERSHIP ALLOCATIONS
5.1 Allocation of Profit or Loss. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 5:
(a) Profit (and solely to the extent necessary under paragraph 5.1(aXi), Loss) of the
Partnership for each Accounting Period shall be allocated as follows:
First, one hundred percent (100%) to the General Partner until the
cumulative Profit allocated to the General Partner pursuant to this paragraph 5.1(a)(i) in such Accounting
Period and all prior Accounting Periods (net of any Loss allocated to the General Partner in such
Accounting Period and all prior Accounting Periods pursuant to this paragraph 5.1(aXi)) is equal to the
aggregate Fee Adjustment Amounts through such time; provided, however, that such allocation shall be
made only (i) from Profit in such Accounting Period consisting solely of the excess of (A) gains from the
sale or disposition of Securities (including any Deemed Gain in connection with a distribution of
Securities) and qualified dividend income over (B) losses from the sale or disposition of Securities
(including any Deemed Loss in connection with a distribution of Securities), and (ii) in an amount no
greater than the cumulative net Profit of the Partnership from its inception through such time. If there has
been an allocation of Profit pursuant to this paragraph 5.1(a)(i) for any Accounting Period and the
Partnership has a Loss in any subsequent Accounting Period, then, notwithstanding the other provisions
of this paragraph 5.1, the General Partner shall be allocated an amount of such Loss up to the amount
necessary to ensure that the General Partner has been allocated an aggregate amount of Profit pursuant to
this paragraph 5.1(a)(i) no greater than the Partnership's cumulative net Profit through such time;
provided, that the amount of Loss to be allocated to the General Partner pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall be limited in the General Partner's good faith discretion to ensure that there is not an
allocation of a duplicative amount of Loss (by reason of allocations of Loss to the General Partner
pursuant to this paragraph 5.1(a)(i) and paragraph 5.1(b)(iii)(y)) which Loss is intended to reverse an
allocation of Profit pursuant to this paragraph 5.1(a)(i). For purposes of this paragraph 5.1(a)(i) and
11.
147765658 v44
EFTA00808295
paragraph 10.5(b), the calculation of the Partnership's "cumulative net Profit" and determination of
"Loss" shall include special allocations made by the Partnership pursuant to paragraph 5.1(c)-enE1-372. It
is intended that the General Partner's interest represented by Fee Adjustment Amounts constitutes a
"profits interest" within the meaning of Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 93-27 (1993-27
C.B. 343) and the provisions of this Article 5 and Article 7 shall be implemented accordingly.
(11) Second, for so long as the "First Allocation Hurdle" (as defined below) is
not met, the remaining items of Profit for such Accounting Period shall be allocated to the Partners to
cause the cumulative allocations made pursuant to paragraphs 5.1(a)(ii) through 5.1(a)(iv) to have been
made as follows:
(I) First, one hundred percent (100%) to the Capital Accounts of
the Partners, until the aggregate Profit allocated to the Partners pursuant to this subparagraph
5.1(a)(ii)(1) for all Accounting Periods equals the aggregate Loss allocated pursuant to subparagraph
5.1(b)(iii) for all Accounting Periods; and then

such Accounting Period shall be allocated to the Partners to cause the cumulative allocations made
pursuant to paragraphs 5.1(a)(ii) through 5.1(a)(iv) to have been made as follows:
First, one hundred percent (100%) to the Capital Accounts of
the Partners, until the aggregate Profit allocated to Partners pursuant to this subparagraph

5.1(b)(ii) for all Accounting Periods; and then

the remaining items of Profit for such Accounting Period shall be allocated to the Partners to cause the
cumulative allocations made pursuant to paragraphs 5.1(a)(ii) through 5.1(a)(iv) to have been made as
follows:
(1) First, one hundred percent (100%) to the Capital Accounts of
the Partners, until the aggregate Profit allocated to Partners pursuant to this subparagraph

(b) After the application of paragraph 5.1(aXi), remaining Losses of the Partnership
for each Accounting Period shall be allocated as follows:
(1) First, to the extent of the Profits allocated pursuant to paragraph
5.1(a)(iv) with respect to prior Accounting Periods, items of Loss for such Accounting Period shall be
allocated in proportion to and in reverse order of such Profit allocations;
(ii) Next, to the extent of the Profits allocated pursuant to paragraph
5.1(a)(iii) with respect to prior Accounting Periods, any remaining items of Loss for such Accounting
Period shall be allocated in proportion to and in reverse order of such Profit allocations; and
(iii) Next, any remaining items of Loss for such Accounting Period shall be
allocated: (x) twenty percent (20%) to the Capital Account of the General Partner; and (y) eighty percent
(80%) to the Capital Accounts of all of the Partners in proportion to their respective Partnership
Percentages.
For all purposes under this Agreement, the "First Allocation Hurdle" shall be determined as of the time
that any item of Profit or Loss is to be allocated pursuant to paragraphs 5.1(a)(ii) and 5.1(a)(iii), and shall
be deemed to have been met to the extent that each Limited Partner has been allocated net Profits
pursuant to this Article 5 in an amount equal to two hundred percent (200%) of its respective Capital
Commitment (as defined below) as of such time of determination (Le., an amount sufficient to enable the
Partnership to distribute to such Limited Partner an amount equal to three hundred percent (300%) of
such Limited Partner's Capital Commitment).
13.
147765658 v44
EFTA00808297
For all purposes under this Agreement, the "Second Allocation Hurdle" shall be determined as of the
time that any item of Profit or Loss is to be allocated pursuant to paragraphs 5.1(a)(iii) and 5.1(a)(iv), and
shall be deemed to have been met to the extent that each Limited Partner has been allocated net Profits
pursuant to this Article 5 in an amount equal to five hundred percent (500%) of its respective Capital
Commitment as of such time of determination (is, an amount sufficient to enable the Partnership to
distribute to such Limited Partner an amount equal to six hundred percent (600%) of such Limited
Partner's Capital Commitment).
(c) Solely in consideration of the fact that no Management Fee is chargeable in
respect of the General Partner's Partnership Percentage in the Partnership, items of Loss attributable to
the Management Fee for each Accounting Period shall not be allocated to the Capital Account of the
General Partner with respect to its Partnership Percentage.
5.2 Allocation of Ordinary Income and Ordinary Loss. Ordinary Income or Ordinary
Loss of the Partnership for each Accounting Period shall be allocated to the Capital Accounts of all of the
Partners in proportion to their respective Partnership Percentages.

(a) This Agreement is intended to comply with the safe harbor provisions set forth in
Treasury Regulation 1.704-1(b) and the allocations set forth in paragraph 5.44(b) (the "Regulatory
Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-1(b). In the event the Regulatory Allocations result in allocations being made that are inconsistent
with the manner in which the Partners intend to divide Partnership Profit and Loss as reflected in
paragraphs 5.1, 5.2= 5,3 and 5.4, the General Partner shall use its reasonable best efforts to adjust
subsequent allocations of any items of gain, loss, income, deduction, or expense such that the net amount
of the Regulatory Allocations and such subsequent special adjustments to each Partner is zero.

(b) The allocations provided in this Article 5 shall be subject to the following
exceptions:
Any loss or expense otherwise allocable to a Limited-Partner which
I exceeds the positive balance in such Limited-Partner's Capital Account shall instead be allocated first to
all Partners who have positive balances in their Capital Accounts in proportion to their respective
Partnership Percentages, and when all Partners' Capital Accounts have been reduced to zero, then to the
General Partner; income shall first be allocated to reverse any loss or expense allocated under this
paragraph 5.34(b)(i), in reverse order of such loss or expense allocations, until all such prior loss or
expense allocations have been reversed.
(ii) In the event any Limited Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments,
allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4) through
(dX6), which causes or increases a deficit balance in such Limited Partner's Capital Account, items of
Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Limited Partner in an amount and manner
sufficient to eliminate the deficit balance in its Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations,
or distributions as quickly as possible.
(iii) For purposes of this paragraph 5.$4(b), the balance in a Partner's Capital
Account shall take into account the adjustments provided in Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4) through (d)(6).
(c) If additional persons are admitted to the Partnership as Limited Partners
subsequent to the Initial Closing Date (or existing Limited Partners increase their Capital Commitments),
then organizational costs, fees (including the Management Fee set forth in paragraph 6.1) and expenses,
and individual items of Ordinary Income, Ordinary Loss, Profit and Loss of the Partnership that are
allocated to the Partners on or after the effective date of such admission (or increase), shall be allocated
first to such new Partners (or such existing Limited Partners that increased their Capital Commitments) to
the extent necessary to cause such persons to be treated with respect to such items as if they had been
Partners (or had such increased Capital Commitments) from the Initial Closing Date.
5.5 54-Income Tax Allocations.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph or as otherwise required by the
Code and the rules and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, a Partner's distributive share of
Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, or expense for income tax purposes shall be the same as is
entered in the Partner's Capital Account pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder, income, gain, loss, deduction, and expense with respect to any asset contributed to the capital
of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of
any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax
purposes and its initial Adjusted Asset Value.
(c) In the event the Adjusted Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, and
expense with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such
asset for federal income tax purposes and its Adjusted Asset Value in the same manner as under Code
Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

ARTICLE 6
MANAGEMENT FEE; PARTNERSHIP EXPENSES
6.1 Management Fee.
(a) Commencing as of the Commencement Date, the Management Company shall be
compensated on a quarterly basis for services rendered to the Partnership by the payment in advance by
the Partnership in cash to the General Partner (or its designated Affiliate that makes the capital
contributions referenced in paragraph 4.3) on the first day of each fiscal quarter (or any applicable partial
fiscal quarter, including without limitation, a partial fiscal quarter commencing as of the Commencement
Date) of a management fee (the "Management Fee"). No Management Fee will be chargeable in respect
of the interest in the Partnership held by the General Partner or its designated Affiliate attributable to a
Partnership Percentage.
(b) The Management Fee for each fiscal quarter (prior to the adjustments described
in paragraph 6.1(c)) shall be an amount equal to the aggregate Capital Commitments made by the Limited
Partners as of the first day of each such quarter multiplied by 0.625% (the percentage applicable for any
period referred to herein as the "Management Fee Percentage"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the
Management Fee for each of the Partnership's first and last fiscal quarters shall be proportionately
reduced based upon the ratio that the number of days in each such period bears to ninety (90), (ii) an
additional Management Fee shall be payable upon the date of admission of any Limited Partner (or
increase in an existing Limited Partner's Capital Commitment) subsequent to the Initial Closing Date to
reflect the increased Capital Commitments calculated as if such Limited Partner had been admitted to the
Partnership (or had such increased Capital Commitment) as of the Initial Closing Date, and (iii) for each
fiscal year commencing on or after the fifth anniversary of the Commencement Date, the Management
Fee Percentage applicable in fiscal quarters during such fiscal year (prior to the adjustments described in
paragraph 6.1(c)) shall be equal to the greater of(A) the quarterly Management Fee Percentage applicable
in the prior fiscal year reduced by an amount equal to 0.025% or (B) 0.375%.
(c) The Management Fee otherwise payable by the Partnership to the Management
Company pursuant to paragraph 6.1(a) for a fiscal quarter shall be offset (in the following order of
application):
First, by one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of any cash or
non-cash compensation in the form of stock, options, warrants or other similar rights (net of the amount
paid for any such stock or securities) paid as directors, consulting, management service, advisory,
consultant, transaction, commitment, breakup or broken deal fees or similar fees to the General Partner,
the Management Company, or the respective managing members or managers of such entities, during the
immediately preceding quarter by or in connection with any company in which the Partnership holds an
investment or any company in which the Partnership actively sought to invest but did not, net of any
unreimbursed expenses of the General Partner or the Management Company, or the managing members
or managers of such entities, and as adjusted for any similar reductions with respect to any Parallel Fund
er-any s_Prior Fund; Successor Fund or Opportunity Fund, on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate
capital commitments made to the applicable Parallel Funds-and, Prior Funds, Successor Funds or
Opportunity Fund, to prevent double counting; provided, however, any reduction pursuant to this
paragraph 6.1(cXi) in connection with any cash or non-cash compensation paid to any such parties by a
company in which an "Affiliated Party" (as defined below) or a member, employee or Affiliate thereof
holds an investment as of the Initial Closing Date shall be limited to the amount directly attributable to
16.
147765658 v44
EFTA00808300
the Partnership's actual investment in such company (taking into account of any proration due to the
investments of any Parallel Fund-er, Prior Fund, Successor Fund or Opportunity Fund); and
(ii) Next, by the amount of Cashless Contributions made with respect to the
immediately preceding quarter; provided, that to the extent that, on the eighth (81h) anniversary of the
Commencement Date there remains an uncalled portion of the Capital Commitment of the General
Partner or its designated Affiliate pursuant to paragraph 4.3 (such portion, the "Uncalled Amount"), then
the Management Fee otherwise payable by the Partnership on the next date when Management Fee shall
be paid shall be reduced by an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the Uncalled Amount (such
amount, the "Uncalled Cashless Contribution"). Each of (i) a Cashless Contribution other than a
Cashless Contribution made after the eighth (8'h) anniversary of the Commencement Date and (ii) the
Uncalled Cashless Contribution shall constitute a "Fee Adjustment Amount'.
In the event the offsets required by this paragraph 6.1(c) for a fiscal quarter exceed the Management Fee
payable for such fiscal quarter, the amount of such excess shall be offset against the Management Fee
otherwise payable in subsequent fiscal quarters until there has been a full reduction of Management Fees
with respect to amounts described in this paragraph 6.1(c). In the event that there are insufficient
Management Fees payable such that the foregoing offset amounts are unable to be completely exhausted
by the time of the Partnership's final distribution pursuant to paragraph 10.4, then the General Partner
shall, immediately prior to the Partnership's final distribution, return any such unexhausted offset amount
to the Partners in proportion to their respective Partnership Percentages; provided, however, that any
Limited Partner may elect, by advance written notice to the General Partner, to refrain from being
allocated, and from having distributed to it, its portion of such returned offset amount that is attributable
to the application of paragraph 6.1(c)(i).
(d) Solely for purposes of determining the value of any stock, options, warrants or
other similar rights that may offset the Management Fee as described in paragraph 6.1(cXi), the following
rules shall apply:
All non-cash compensation in the form of stock received by any of the
General Partner, the Management Company, or the managing members or managers of such entities shall
be valued as of the time of receipt in accordance with the rules set forth in paragraph 12.1.
(ii) All non-cash compensation in the form of options, warrants or other
similar rights received by any of the parties shall be valued, in accordance with the rules set forth in
paragraph 12.1, upon the earliest to occur of (a) the distribution to the Partners of any Securities
underlying such options, warrants or other similar rights, (b) the conversion of such options, warrants or
other similar rights into cash, (c) the date on which the Securities underlying such options, warrants or
other similar rights become Marketable Securities (to the extent such options are exercisable at such time)
or (d) the date that is, in the General Partner's reasonable estimation, one year prior to the date of
dissolution of the Partnership. The value of options, warrants or other similar rights shall be, on a per
share basis, the difference, as of the valuation date, between the exercise price and the fair market value of
the securities on such date. No value shall be attributable to options, warrants or other similar rights if the
applicable securities are of a portfolio company that has been written off or written down to a nominal
amount as of the valuation date.
ft} On a cumulative basis, after the application of other reductions of the
Management Fee set forth in paragraph 6.1(c), the Management Fee shall be reduced by one hundred
percent (100%) of any net placement fees, broker fees or similar charges payable with respect to the sale
of interests to Limited Partners ("Placement Aaent Fees"). To the extent that the amount referred to in
the preceding sentence exceeds the Management Fee, such excess shall be carried forward and, if not
17.
147765658 v44

but subject to the Act) be paid by the General Partner to the Limited Partners upon liquidation of the

7.6 Withholding Obligations.
(a) If and to the extent the Partnership is required by law (as determined in good
faith by the General Partner) to make payments ("Tar Payments") with respect to any Partner in amounts
required to discharge any legal obligation of the Partnership or the General Partner, including any
obligation pursuant to FATCA, to make payments to any governmental authority with respect to any
federal, state or local tax liability of such Partner arising as a result of such Partner's interest in the
Partnership, then the amount of any such Tax Payments shall be deemed to be a loan by the Partnership to
such Partner, which loan shall: (i) be secured by such Partner's interest in the Partnership; (ii) bear
interest at the Prime Rate (as defined in paragraph 14.15); and (iii) be payable upon demand; provided,
however, that the General Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Partners notice
of the amount of any anticipated Tax Payments in advance of the Partnership's payment thereof and will,
upon written request from any Partner, allow such requesting Partner to pay the Partnership an amount of
cash equal to the amount of such Tax Payments in lieu of treating any such Tax Payment as a loan. Each
Limited Partner will, as applicable, take such actions as are required to establish to the reasonable
satisfaction of the General Partner that the Limited Partner is (i) not subject to the withholding tax
obligations imposed by Section 1471 of the Code and (ii) not subject to the withholding tax obligations
imposed by Section 1472 of the Code. In addition, each Limited Partner will assist the Partnership and
the General Partner with any applicable information reporting or other obligation imposed on the
Partnership, the General Partner, or their respective Affiliates, pursuant to FATCA. For purposes of this
Agreement, "FATCA" shall mean the Foreign Account Tax Compliance provisions enacted as part of the
U.S. Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act and codified in Sections 1471 through 1474 of the
Code, all rules, regulations and other guidance issued thereunder, and all administrative and judicial
interpretations thereof.
(b) If and to the extent the General Partner determines that the Partnership is
required to make any Tax Payments with respect to any distribution to a Partner, (i) the General Partner
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Partner advance notice of the amount of such
anticipated Tax Payments and (ii) either (A) such Partner's proportionate share of such distribution shall
be reduced by the amount of such Tax Payments (provided, however, that such Partner's Capital Account
shall be adjusted pursuant to paragraph 14.5 for such Partner's full proportionate share of the
distribution), or (B) such Partner shall pay to the Partnership prior to such distribution an amount of cash
equal to such Tax Payments. In the event a portion of a distribution in kind is retained by the Partnership
pursuant to clause (A), such retained Securities may, in the discretion of the General Partner, either (i) be
distributed to the Partners in accordance with the terms of this Article 7 including this paragraph 7.6(b),
or (ii) be sold by the Partnership to generate the cash necessary to satisfy such Tax Payments. If the
Securities are sold, then for purposes of income tax allocations only under this Agreement, any gain or
loss on such sale or exchange shall be allocated to the Partner to whom the Tax Payments relate.
(c) If the Partnership is required to withhold taxes pursuant to this paragraph 7.6
with respect to any Limited Partner or if any tax is required to be withheld on amounts receivable by the
Partnership (including any tax required to be withheld by another party paying proceeds to the
Partnership) and is attributable to any Limited Partner, the General Partner shall upon request by such
Limited Partner use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any Limited Partner with such
information and assistance as is reasonably necessary for such Limited Partner to obtain an exemption
from or refund of such withheld amounts.

VV Global LP, VV Global Principals LP, Valar Co-Invest I LP, Valar Co-Invest 2 LP and VV Xero
Holdings LLC and to other entities affiliated therewith (collectively, the "Prior Funds");
(iii) Form and operate one (1) or more successor venture capital investment
funds whose purpose is substantially the same as the Partnership's purpose (each, a "Successor Fund"),
subject to the first sentence of paragraph 8.3(b); and/or
(iv) Form and operate one or more Parallel Funds (as defined in paragraph
8.3(c)):; and/or
Form and operate an Opportunity Fund, subject to provisions of
paragraph 8.3(b).
(b) On or after the earlier of (i) such time as at least seventy-five percent (75%) of
the Partnership's Committed Capital has been invested, committed or reserved for investment in portfolio
companies, or applied, committed or reserved for Partnership working capital or expenses, or (ii) the end
of the Commitment Period (such earlier time, the "Successor Fund Eligible Date"), the Managing
Members shall only be required to devote such business time to the Partnership as they deem to be
appropriate (acting reasonably and in good faith) and may, at their sole and absolute discretion, form and
operate one or more Successor Funds. In addition, the General Partner, the Managing Members and/or
their Affiliates may, at any time, form, operate and devote such business time as is reasonably necessary
to the management of one or more "Special Purpose Investment Funds" described in paragraph 8.4(a). In
addition, the Limited Partners acknowledge and agree that the Management Company may form an
investment fund to participate (concurrently or otherwise) in later stage and other investment
opportunities whose "pre-money" valuation exceeds the valuation at which the Partnership typically
would invest, both in portfolio companies of the Partnership and otherwise (the "Opportunity Fund").
The general partner of an Opportunity Fund shall be an Affiliate of the General Partner or the
Management Company.
(c) Pursuant to paragraph 8.3(aXiv), the General Partner and the Managing Members
may form and serve as general partner (or in a similar management role) of (i) one or more entities
organized to accommodate the capital investment of the members of the General Partner and the
Management Company and their employees or consultants and their respective families, and of other
persons having strategic or other important relationships with the Partnership (each, an "Affiliates
Fund"), and (ii) one or more investment partnerships or similar entities to accommodate the tax,
regulatory or other special needs of investors who otherwise would invest as Limited Partners of the
Partnership (together with any Affiliates Fund, the "Parallel Funds"). Each Parallel Fund (other than an
Affiliates Fund) shall be governed by a limited partnership agreement (or other similar constitutive
document) whose terms are substantially the same as this Agreement (and, for the avoidance of doubt, an
Affiliates Fund may have different economic terms than the Partnership (including, without limitation, a
reduced or waived management fee and/or carried interest in profits payable to its general partner or
manager)). In the event that any Parallel Fund is formed, upon each purchase of Securities (other than
short-term obligations such as money market instruments) by the Partnership, each Parallel Fund will
simultaneously invest on the same terms as the Partnership pro rata in accordance with the remaining
available capital of each such fund, and reflecting the reserve policies for each such fund (e.g. because
Affiliate Funds may not charge management fees and thus may not reserve for them); provided, however,
that a Parallel Fund shall not be required to make any such investment in a Security if the General Partner
receives from the issuer thereof a written notice to the effect that the issuer will not permit such Parallel
Fund to invest on the same terms as the Partnership or such investment would be prohibited by the terms
of the governing agreement of such Parallel Fund. Each Parallel Fund shall also dispose of each such
24.
147765658 v44
EFTA00808308
Security at substantially the same time and on substantially the same terms as the Partnership; provided,
however, that the foregoing requirement shall not apply with respect to dispositions of Securities made in
connection with the liquidation of the Partnership or a Parallel Fund; provided, further, that a Parallel
Fund shall not be required to make any such divestment of a Security if the General Partner receives from
the issuer thereof a written notice to the effect that the issuer will not permit such Parallel Fund to dispose
of such Security on the same terms as the Partnership or such divestment would be prohibited by the
terms of the governing agreement of such Parallel Fund. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, except as provided in paragraph 10.3(b), in no event shall the General Partner
cause or permit the Partnership, or any Parallel Fund to make or dispose of an investment, or make a
distribution of cash or property to the Partners, other than on a pan passu basis with all other such funds
based on their respective amounts of committed capital from equityholders (determined as of all capital
commitments were made at the same time). Each of the Limited Partners hereby consents and agrees to
the foregoing activities and investments and further consents and agrees that neither the Partnership nor
any of its Partners shall have any rights in or to such activities or investments, or any profits derived
therefrom.
8.4 Investment Opportunities and Conflicts of Interest.
(a) Each opportunity to invest at least one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000)
into a company that is presented to the Managing Members, for so long as they are managing members of
the General Partner, and that otherwise meets the investment objectives of the Partnership (e.g., the
potential investment is sufficiently large, the potential investment is not expected to require an inordinate
portion of the Partnership's capital, the company is at an appropriate stage of development, the
Partnership has sufficient capital available at the time the investment is to be made, etc.), shall be offered
to the Partnership and each Parallel Fund in proportion to their relative available capital (measured as of
the time of such presentation); provided, however, that (i) the preceding restriction shall only apply from
and after the Commencement Date until the earlier of the end of the Commitment Period or the time at
which a Successor Fund may be formed pursuant to the first sentence of paragraph 8.3(b) and (ii) any
such opportunities may be allocated in whole to the Prior Funds or Opportunity Fund, or such
opportunities may be allocated partially to the Partnership and the Parallel Funds and partially to the Prior
Funds and Opportunity Fund, until the Prior Funds and Opportunity Fund have been fully invested and
reserved for follow-on investments and expenses, as determined by the General Partner in its sole and
absolute discretion. In furtherance of the foregoing, from and after the Commencement Date until the
earlier of the end of the Commitment Period or the time at which a Successor Fund may be formed
pursuant to the first sentence of paragraph 8.3(b), each of the General Partner and the Management
Company shall require that the Managing Members and managers of such entities shall promptly present
to the General Partner each investment opportunity that is presented to them and that is consistent with
the investment objectives of the Partnership as described in this paragraph 8.4(a).
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this paragraph 8.4(a) or any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the restrictions described in this paragraph 8.4(a) shall not apply to the
participation of any Affiliated Party in any investment opportunity with respect to which: (i) the
applicable Affiliated Party's participation has been approved by the Advisory Committee; (ii) the
applicable Affiliated Party or an Affiliate thereof (in each case, other than any investment fund managed
thereby) has initially invested prior to the Initial Closing Date or pursuant to the other provisions of this
paragraph 8.4(a) and/or paragraph 8.4(c); (iii) the General Partner has determined, in good faith, does not
meet the investment objectives of the Partnership; or (iv) a Special Purpose Investment Fund has been
formed. For the avoidance of doubt, the following shall automatically be deemed not to be investment
opportunities of the Partnership (and may be invested in by the General Partner, any Affiliated Party, or
any Affiliate or employee thereof or any investment fund managed thereby notwithstanding any provision
of this Agreement to the contrary): (i) any investment opportunity in a company (including, without
25.
147765658 v44
EFTA00808309
limitation, in the preferred stock of such company) that the General Partner has considered and has
rejected as being unsuitable for the Partnership in accordance with the rules and procedures by which the
General Partner makes investment decisions (Le., because the number of Managing Members required to
approve the opportunity have considered the opportunity and rejected it as being unsuitable for the
Partnership), so long as the Managing Members who rejected the opportunity and their respective
Affiliates do not then participate in such opportunity; (ii) any investment opportunity with respect to
which the Advisory Committee is asked to approve the Partnership's participation, but which the
Advisory Committee does not so approve; (iii) any investment opportunity in a company that has a
"pre-money valuation" greater than fivetwo hundred and fifty million dollars (U0250,000,000), as
determined by the Management Company in its sole discretion, as of the date of the proposed investment
(other than— llow on invoelmenic in companiet in which the Partnership already holt an eticting
interest as of the-date-of-such-proposed-follow on-investment} and; (iv) any investment opportunity to be
held by a Special Purpose Investment Fund; (v) any investment opportunity in a portfolio company of a
Prior Fund, Successor Fund or Opportunity Fund; and (vi) any investment opportunity offered to a Prior
Fund, Successor Fund or Opportunity Fund.
A "Special Purpose Investment Fund' means an investment fund created by the General Partner or any
Affiliated Party to invest in a specified investment opportunity, which meets the Partnership's investment
objectives. A Special Purpose Investment Fund must meet the following criteria: (a) each Partner is
provided the first opportunity (on at least seven (7) days advance notice) to invest in such special purpose
investment fund on a pro rata basis determined by reference to the total of (x) the Partners' respective
Capital Commitments and (y) the respective capital commitments that the constituent partners in any
Parallel Funds have made to such Parallel Funds, and (b) such special purpose investment fund charges a
carried interest and/or management fee that are no higher than those charged to the Partnership. No
Special Purpose Investment Fund with aggregate capital commitments that exceed 30% of the amount of
the aggregate combined Capital Commitments to the Partnership and the capital commitments of the
Parallel Funds (the "Combined Capital Commitments") to the Partnership shall be formed or organized
without the Advisory Committee's prior approval.
(b) The term "Affiliated Party", as used herein, means any Managing Member, the
General Partner, the Management Company, or any member, employee or Affiliate thereof; provided,
however, that for all purposes under this Agreement, no Thiel Person shall be deemed to be an Affiliated
Party. Notwithstanding paragraph 8.4(a), each Limited Partner hereby acknowledges and agrees that the
General Partner may offer to other private investors, groups, partnerships or corporations (including,
without limitation, any Limited Partner, and the Affiliates, members and employees of the foregoing
parties and any Prior Funds—era Successor Funds or Opportunity Fund) the right to participate in
investment opportunities of the Partnership or opportunities which may meet the investment objectives of
the Partnership (as determined by the General Partner in good faith) whenever the General Partner, in its
sole and absolute discretion, so determines; provided, however, that (4)-an Affiliated Party may only take
or participate in investment opportunities meeting the investment objectives of the Partnership to the
extent so provided in paragraphs 8.4(a) and 8.4(c)-and-00-stieli-inyestinent-eppertunityr if-meeting-the
efferecl-te-the-Partnership-befere-it-is-effered-te-any-ether-pany.
(c) Until the earlier of the time that the Commitment Period ends or a Successor
Fund may be formed pursuant to the first sentence of paragraph 8.3(b), each Affiliated Party or Affiliate
thereof shall not be permitted to receive and keep any preferred stock, common stock, options or other
similar instruments to purchase the same of any Partnership portfolio company without the consent of the
Advisory Committee; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to an investment
held through a Successor Fund or Prior Fund; provided, further, that the Affiliated Parties may,
26.
147765658 v44
EFTA00808310
collectively, invest up to one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) into the Securities of any
Partnership portfolio company that are not Marketable Securities.
(d) Each Limited Partner hereby agrees that, the Partnership may invest in any
company in which a Successor Fund-et, Prior Fund or Opportunity Fund (or any other investment fund
managed by any of the General Partner, the Affiliated Parties or their Affiliates) holds an interest,
whenever the General Partner, in its discretion, so determines that an investment in such company would
be appropriate for the Partnership; provided, however, that witheut—the—eefisent—ef—tke—MMsecy

invest in any company in which the Managing Members, the General Partner, the Management Company
or any of their Affiliates hold a direct interest (i.e., an interest not held through a Successor Fund, Prior
Fund, Opportunity Fund or other investment fund managed by any of the General Partner, the Affiliated
Parties or their Affiliates).
(e) Without the prior approval of the Advisory Committee, the Partnership may not
purchase Securities from or sell Securities to the General Partner, any Parallel Fund or related entity, any
Affiliated Party, any Thiel Person or an Affiliate thereof or any investment fund managed thereby;
provided, however, that each Limited Partner hereby agrees that, following the final admission of Limited
Partners pursuant to paragraph 3.2(b) the Partnership may purchase Securities from or sell Securities to
one or more Parallel Funds at cost for the purpose of allocating then-existing Securities between such
entities in proportion to their respective available capital.
Each Limited Partner hereby agrees that: (i) an Affiliated Party, an Affiliate
thereof or any member or employee of any of the foregoing, or any investment fund managed thereby
may invest personally in Securities of any portfolio company where the Securities of such portfolio
company are, at the time of such investment, Marketable Securities; provided that, the aggregate amount
of any such investments in the same portfolio company may not exceed 2% of the aggregate cost basis of
the Partnership's and Parallel Funds' investment(s) in such portfolio company; and (ii) any Successor
I Fund-era Prior Fund or Opportunity Fund (or other fund described in paragraph 8.3(b) to the extent the
applicable investment does not meet the investment objectives of the Partnership) may invest in a
portfolio company of the Partnership.
(g) The General Partner shall use its reasonable best efforts to operate the
Partnership in a manner that will not cause any Partner subject to Section 511 of the Code to recognize
unrelated business taxable income under Section 512 of the Code or unrelated debt-financed income
under Section 514 of the Code ("UBTf'); provided, however, that the Partnership may, subject to
paragraph 8.4(n), borrow money pending the due date of a capital call so long as such borrowing would
be repaid promptly following the delivery of capital due in connection with such capital call and would
not create a material likelihood that any Limited Partner subject to Section 511 of the Code would incur
UBTI.
For so long as "equity participation" in the Partnership by "benefit plan
investors" is "significant" (as such terms are defined in the DOL Regulations), (i) the General Partner
shall use its reasonable best efforts to operate the Partnership such that it qualifies as a "venture capital
operating company" under the DOL Regulations, (ii) at least 30 days prior to the end of the Partnership's
"annual valuation period" (as such term is defined in the DOL Regulations), the General Partner shall
deliver to each Limited Partner a certificate, prepared in consultation with counsel to the Partnership,
which confirms that the Partnership qualifies as a venture capital operating company and will continue to
qualify as a venture capital operating company immediately following the expiration of the annual
valuation period and (iii) the General Partner shall notify each Limited Partner as promptly as practicable
27.
147765658 v44
EFTA00808311
following any determination by the General Partner that there is a material likelihood that the Partnership
has ceased to qualify as a venture capital operating company.
The General Partner shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (w) avoid
causing any Limited Partner, solely as a result of such Limited Partner's status as a limited partner in the
Partnership, to be required to file income tax returns other than any return, certification or statement
necessary to obtain a refund of or reduction in tax in any jurisdiction outside of the United States in
connection with the Partnership's investment in any portfolio company organized or with its principal
place of business or primary operations in such jurisdiction; (x) operate the Partnership in a manner that
will not cause it to be engaged in a "trade or business within the United States" within the meaning of
Section 864(b) of the Code; (y) avoid the Partnership realizing income that is or is treated as being
"effectively connected" with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States for United States
federal income tax purposes; and (z) prevent the Partnership from acquiring any interest in real property
located in the United States for purposes of Section 897 of the Code or in any company that is at the time
of such investment a "United States real property holding corporation" within the meaning of Section
897(c) of the Code.
After the General Partner has used commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the Partnership realizing
income that is or is treated as being "effectively connected" with the conduct of a trade or business in the
United States, if the General Partner has actual knowledge that a particular transaction will generate
income "effectively connected" with a trade or business in the United States (within the meaning of the
Code), or similar income in another country, the General Partner shall use reasonable best efforts to
provide each Limited Partner with such information that is reasonably available to the General Partner
and which such Limited Partner reasonably requests in order to file any federal, state or local tax return in
the United States or such other country in which such income is generated.
For transactions causing any Limited Partner, solely as a result of such Limited Partner's status as a
limited partner in the Partnership, to be required to file income tax returns other than any return,
certification or statement necessary to obtain a refund of or reduction in tax in any jurisdiction outside of
the United States in connection with the Partnership's investment in any portfolio company organized or
with its principal place of business or primary operations in such jurisdiction, the General Partner shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Limited Partner with such information that is
reasonably available to the General Partner and which such Limited Partner reasonably requests in order
to file income tax return in such jurisdiction.

also has outstanding publicly-traded Securities.
(m) Without the prior approval of the Advisory Committee and subject to paragraph
8.4(g), the General Partner may not cause the Partnership to incur debt, or guaranty indebtedness of the
Partnership's portfolio companies (and including, for this purpose, their respective Affiliates), in an
aggregate amount exceeding the lesser of (A) ten percent (10%) of the Partnership's Capital
Commitments (determined on the basis of acquisition cost at the time of investment) and (B) the amount
of aggregate Capital Commitments of the Partners that have not been contributed to the Partnership as of

Partnership pending the due date of a capital call, which are due to be, and are, fully repaid promptly
following the delivery of capital from the Partners which was due in connection with such capital call
shall not be treated as indebtedness of the Partnership for purposes of the limitation in this paragraph
8.4(m).
The cumulative aggregate cost basis of portfolio company investments made by
the Partnership may not exceed one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the aggregate Capital
Commitments of the Partners.
ARTICLE 9
INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION AND TRANSFER
OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS
9.1 Investment Representation of the Limited Partners. This Agreement is made with
each of the Limited Partners in reliance upon each Limited Partner's representation to the Partnership,
which by executing this Agreement each Limited Partner hereby confirms, that its interest in the
Partnership is to be acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part
thereof, and that it has no present intention of selling, granting participation in, or otherwise distributing
the same, and each Limited Partner understands that its interest in the Partnership has not been registered
under the Securities Act and that any transfer or other disposition of the interest may not be made without
registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an applicable exemption therefrom. Each Limited
Partner further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement, or arrangement with
any person to sell, transfer, or grant participations to such person, or to any third person, with respect to
its interest in the Partnership.
9.2 Qualifications of the Limited Partners. Each Limited Partner represents that it is an
"accredited investor" within the meaning of that term as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act.
9.3 Transfer by General Partner. The General Partner shall not sell, assign, mortgage,
pledge or otherwise dispose of its interest in the Partnership or in its capital assets or property without the
prior written consent of Two-Thirds in Interest of the Limited Partners. Admissions of new members of
the General Partner or the transfer of interests in the General Partner by its members shall not be deemed
to be a sale or other disposition of the General Partner's interest in the Partnership for purposes of this
paragraph 9.3; provided, however, that without the prior consent of a Majority in Interest of the Limited
Partners, new members may not be admitted to the General Partner, and interests in the General Partner
may not be transferred, to the extent that the effect of such admissions and transfers would result in fifty
percent (50%) or more of the interests in the General Partner being owned by persons who are not
Managing Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the General Partner make any
29.
147765658 v44
EFTA00808313
transfer of an interest in the Partnership prohibited by the events described in paragraphs 9.5(a) through
9.5(h).
9.4 Transfer by Limited Partner. No Limited Partner shall sell, assign, pledge, mortgage,
or otherwise dispose of or transfer its interest in the Partnership, directly or indirectly, without the prior
written consent of the General Partner, which consent may be granted or denied in the sole discretion of
the General Partner (which consent shall not be required in the event of a transfer pursuant to the
following sentence of this paragraph 9.4). Notwithstanding the foregoing, after delivery of the opinion of
counsel hereinafter required by this Article 9 (provided, however, that the General Partner may, in its sole
discretion, waive the requirement of an opinion of counsel), a Limited Partner may sell, assign, pledge,
mortgage, or otherwise dispose of or transfer its interest in the Partnership, directly or indirectly, without
such consent (a) to any entity directly or indirectly holding eighty percent (80%) or more of the
ownership interests of the Limited Partner (including profits or other economic interests) or any entity of
which eighty percent (80%) or more of the beneficial ownership (including profits or other economic
interests) are held directly or indirectly by such entity, including any entity of which the Limited Partner
holds, directly or indirectly, eighty percent (80%) or more of the beneficial ownership (including profits
or other economic interests), (b) pursuant to a merger, plan of reorganization, sale or pledge of, or other
general encumbrance on all or substantially all of the Limited Partner's assets, (c) as may be required by
any law or regulation, (d) by testamentary disposition or intestate succession, (e) to a trust, profit sharing
plan or other entity controlled by, or for the benefit of, such Limited Partner or one or more of its family
members or (f) during the six (6) month period immediately following its admission as a Limited Partner,
to an Affiliate entity that is also a Limited Partner where the sole purpose of such transfer is to adjust the
relative holdings of such Affiliate and the original Limited Partner. A change in any trustee or fiduciary
of the Limited Partner shall not be considered to be a transfer, sale, assignment, mortgage, pledge or other
disposition under this paragraph 9.4, provided written notice of such change is given to the General
Partner within a reasonable period of time after the effective date thereof.
9.5 Requirements for Transfer. No transfer or other disposition of the interest of the
Limited Partner shall be permitted until the General Partner shall have received an opinion of counsel
satisfactory to it (or waived such opinion requirement) that the effect of such transfer or disposition would
not:
(a) result in the Partnership's assets, or any portion thereof, being considered, in the
opinion of counsel for the Partnership, as "plan assets" within the meaning of the DOL Regulations, or
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 4975 of the Code;
(b) result in a violation of the Securities Act or any comparable state law;
(c) require the Partnership to register as an investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;
(d) require the Partnership, the General Partner, or any member of the General
Partner to register as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended;
(e) result in a termination of the Partnership's status as a partnership for tax
purposes;
result in a violation of any law, rule, or regulation by the Limited Partner, the
Partnership, the General Partner, or any member of the General Partner;
30.
147765658 v44
EFTA00808314
(g) cause the Partnership to be deemed to be a "publicly tradedpartnership" as such
term is defined in Section 7704(b) of the Code; or
(h) result in a violation of this Agreement.
Such legal opinion shall be provided to the General Partner by the transferring Limited Partner or the
proposed transferee. Any costs associated with such opinion shall be borne by the transferring Limited
Partner or the proposed transferee. Upon request, the General Partner will use its good faith diligent
efforts to provide any information possessed by the Partnership and reasonably requested by a
transferring Limited Partner to enable it to render the foregoing opinion. Notwithstanding any provision
of this Article 9 to the contrary, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, waive the requirement of
an opinion of counsel provided for in this paragraph 9.5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, in no event shall the General Partner consent to any transfer of an interest in the Partnership, or
waive the requirement of an opinion of counsel with respect to any transfer for which the consent of the
General Partner is not required, if such transfer would, in the reasonable determination of the General
Partner, result in any of the events described in paragraphs 9.5(a) through 9.5(h). Any transfer of an
interest in the Partnership in violation of the requirements of paragraph 9.4 or this paragraph 9.5 shall be
null and void ab initio.
9.6 Substitution as a Limited Partner. A transferee of a Limited Partner's interest pursuant
to this Article 9 shall become a substituted Limited Partner only with the consent of the General Partner
(which consent shall not be required in the event of a transfer pursuant to paragraph 9.4(f)) and only if
such transferee (a) elects to become a substituted Limited Partner and (b) executes, acknowledges and
delivers to the Partnership such other instruments as the General Partner may deem necessary or advisable
to effect the admission of such transferee as a substituted Limited Partner, including, without limitation,
the written acceptance and adoption by such transferee of the provisions of this Agreement. No
assignment by a Limited Partner of its interest in the Partnership shall release the assignor from its
liabilities to the Partnership, including but not limited to those liabilities enumerated in paragraph 4.2;
provided, however if the assignee becomes a Limited Partner as provided in this paragraph 9.6, the
assignor shall thereupon so be released (in the case of a partial assignment, to the extent of such
assignment).
9.7 Expenses of Transfer. Any costs or expenses (including but not limited to reasonable
attorneys' fees) incurred by the Partnership in connection with the transfer of a Partnership interest
hereunder (including any costs associated with any opinion rendered pursuant to paragraph 9.5 above)
shall be borne jointly and severally by the transferring Limited Partner and the proposed transferee.
ARTICLE 10
DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP
10.1 Extension of Partnership Term. Upon the Termination Date, or such subsequent dates
to which the Partnership term has previously been extended pursuant to this paragraph 10.1, the General
Partner in its sole discretion may extend the Partnership term for up to two (2) additional one (1) year
periods and, thereafter and with the consent of a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners, for
additional one (I) year periods thereafter. During any such one (I) year extension periods, the General
Partner shall use its reasonable efforts to convert the Partnership's Nonmarketable Securities into
Marketable Securities or cash, and all Securities that become Marketable Securities during such period or
periods shall be promptly distributed by the Partnership. The General Partner shall not purchase the
Securities of any new issuer in which the Partnership does not already hold an interest during such period;
provided, however, that the General Partner may (a) purchase additional Securities of a portfolio company
31.
147765658 v44
EFTA00808315
if it deems such a purchase to be in the best interests of the Partnership, and (b) exchange the Securities of
a portfolio company for other Securities. The Management Fee for each fiscal quarter during an
extension period (i) shall be an amount equal to the product of (A) the lower of (I) the cost basis of the
portfolio company Securities held by the Partnership as of the first day of such fiscal quarter and (II) the
fair market value of such Securities multiplied by (B) the Management Fee Percentage in effect as of the
first day of such fiscal quarter (as determined under Article 6), and (ii) shall otherwise be governed by the
provisions set forth in Article 6.
10.2 Early Termination of the Partnership.
(a) The Partnership shall dissolve, and the affairs of the Partnership shall be wound
up prior to the Termination Date (or such subsequent dates to which the Partnership term has previously
been extended pursuant to paragraph 10.1):
ninety (90) days after the withdrawal, bankruptcy, or dissolution of the
General Partner, unless a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners elect to continue the Partnership
within such ninety (90) day period;
(ii) upon the election of Two-Thirds in Interest of the Limited Partners
within sixty days (60) days of the delivery of the notice of Trigger Event; or
(iii) at any time upon the election of Eighty Percent (80%) in Interest of the
Limited Partners.
(b) In the event that the Partnership is dissolved pursuant to the provisions of this
paragraph 10.2, a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners shall elect one or more liquidators to
manage the liquidation of the Partnership in the manner described in paragraphs 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5.
10.3 Winding Up Procedures.
(a) Promptly upon dissolution of the Partnership (unless the Partnership is continued
in accordance with this Agreement or the provisions of the Act), the affairs of the Partnership shall be
wound up and the Partnership liquidated. The closing Capital Accounts of all the Partners shall be
computed as of the date of dissolution as if the date of dissolution were the last day of an Accounting
Period in accordance with Article 5, and then adjusted in the following manner:
(I) All assets and liabilities of the Partnership shall be valued as of the date
of dissolution.
(ii) The Partnership's assets as of the date of dissolution shall be deemed to
have been sold at their fair market values and the resulting Profit or Loss shall be allocated to the
Partners' Capital Accounts in accordance with the provisions of Article 5.
(b) Distributions during the winding up period may be made in cash or in kind or
partly in cash and partly in kind; provided, however, that the General Partner or the liquidator, as the case
may be, shall notify the Limited Partners at least ten (10) business days prior to making a distribution in
kind pursuant to this paragraph 10.3(b). The General Partner or the liquidator shall use its best judgment
as to the most advantageous time for the Partnership to sell Securities or to make distributions in kind.
All cash and each Security distributed in kind after the date of dissolution of the Partnership shall be
distributed ratably in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4.2(d), if applicable, but otherwise in

applicable to a Limited Partner, in which event, upon receipt by the General Partner of notice to such
effect, such Limited Partner may designate a different entity to receive the distribution, or designate,
subject to the approval of the General Partner (which may be withheld in the General Partner's sole
discretion), an alternative distribution procedure (provided, however, that such alternative distribution
procedure does not prejudice any of the other Partners). Each Security so distributed shall be subject to
reasonable conditions and restrictions necessary or advisable, as determined in the reasonable discretion
of the General Partner or the liquidator, in order to preserve the value of such Security or for legal
reasons.
10.4 Payments in Liquidation. The assets of the Partnership shall be distributed in final

(a) to the creditors of the Partnership, including those Partners who are creditors of
the Partnership, in the order of priority established by law, either by payment or by establishment of
reserves; and
(b) the balance, if any, to the General Partner and the Limited Partners as if such
distributions were made pursuant to paragraph 7.4(b) and paragraph 7.5(a), as applicable; provided,
however, that the General Partner shall be obligated to contribute to the Partnership an amount in cash, or
Securities (previously distributed in kind from the Partnership) with a fair market value equal to the
amounts the General Partner is obligated to pay back under paragraphs 10.5(a) and 10.5(b).
10.5 Return of Excess Distributions.
(a) Notwithstanding paragraphs 7.3 and 10.4, upon liquidation of the Partnership
pursuant to this Article 10, the General Partner shall be required to pay back to the Partnership the
amount by which the Carried Interest Distributions (as defined below) exceeds (i) in the event that the
First Allocation Hurdle has not been met, 20% of the aggregate distributions made to the Partners
pursuant to paragraphs 7.5(aXii)-(vi), (ii) in the event that the First Allocation Hurdle has been met but
the Second Allocation Hurdle has not been met, 25% of the aggregate distributions made to the Partners
pursuant to paragraphs 7.5(a)(ii)-(vi), or (iii) in the event that the Second Allocation Hurdle has been
met, 30% of the aggregate distributions made to the Partners pursuant to paragraphs 7.5(a)(ii)-(vi).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner's payment obligation pursuant to this paragraph
10.5(a) shall not exceed the After-Tax Distribution Amount (as defined below). For purposes of this
paragraph 10.5: (i) the "Carried Interest Distributions" shall equal all distributions to the General Partner
other than distributions made to the General Partner in respect of its Partnership Percentage (excluding
amounts returned to the Partnership by the General Partner pursuant to paragraphs 4.2(d)(ii) prior to final
liquidation of the Partnership); and (ii) the "After-Tax Distribution Amount" shall be equal to the Carried
Interest Distributions, less the gross tax liabilities that the General Partner would have incurred on all
allocations of taxable income (net of losses) made with respect to the General Partner's interest in the
Company (other than the portion of its interest attributable to its Partnership Percentage and excluding
allocations made pursuant to paragraph 5.1(a)(i)) if: (x) at all times the General Partner were subject to
the highest blended federal, state and local marginal income tax rate then applicable to an individual
residing in any state in the United States, applied by taking into account the character of the taxable
income in question (i.e., long-term capital gains, ordinary income, etc.) (such tax rat; the "Applicable
Tax Rate"); and (y) all such allocations resulted from fully taxable transactions, plus any tax benefit
actually received by the General Partner in the year in which the General Partner is required to make a
payment pursuant to this paragraph 10.5(a), as reasonably determined by the General Partner, which such
tax benefit is attributable solely to the making of such payment and which benefit shall be determined
after first taking all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the General Partner (or its
direct or indirect owners) into account. In the event that the assets of the General Partner are insufficient

147765658 v44
EFTA00808317
to satisfy the obligation described in this paragraph 10.5(a), each Managing Member and managing
member of the General Partner shall be severally liable for and shall personally guaranty his or her pro
rata share of the General Partner's remaining obligation to the Partnership under this paragraph 10.5(a) by
executing a written guaranty (in substantially the same form provided to the Limited Partners prior to the
date first written above). The pro rata shares described in the preceding sentence shall be based on
relative distributions received by each such Managing Member, or managing member of the General
Partner, from the General Partner. The General Partner's operating agreement shall contain a provision
requiring each newly-admitted managing member to personally guaranty his, her or its respective pro rata
share of the General Partner's obligation under this paragraph 10.5(a) by executing a written guaranty (in
substantially the same form provided to the Limited Partners prior to the date first written above)
(b) Notwithstanding paragraphs 7.3 and 10.4, upon liquidation of the Partnership
pursuant to this Article 10, but prior to the application of paragraph 10.5(a), the General Partner (or its
designated Affiliate, as applicable) shall be required to pay back to the Partnership the amount by which
the cumulative net distributions received by the General Partner (or its designated Affiliate, as applicable)
in respect of its Partnership Percentage exceed the distributions the General Partner (or its designated
Affiliate, as applicable) would have received in respect of its Partnership Percentage (treating all such
distributions and related allocations as having taken place in one Accounting Period) if the Partnership
Percentage of the General Partner (or its designated Affiliate, as applicable) for this purpose were equal to
the Funded Percentage of the General Partner (or its designated Affiliate, as applicable). For purposes of
this paragraph 10.5(b), the "Funded Percentage of the General Partner (or its designated Affiliate, as
applicable) shall be a percentage equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is (1) the sum of (A) the cash
capital contributions of the General Partner (or its designated Affiliate, as applicable) and (B) allocations
of Profit (net of Loss) to the General Partner (or its designated Affiliate, as applicable) in respect of Fee
Adjustment Amounts made pursuant to paragraph 5.1(aXi) and the denominator of which is (2) the sum
of (A) the cash capital contributions of all Partners and (B) allocations of Profit (net of Loss) to the
General Partner (or its designated Affiliate, as applicable) in respect of Fee Adjustment Amounts made
pursuant to paragraph 5.1(a)(i); provided, however, that the amount of repayment described in this
paragraph 10.5(b) shall be limited to the distributions received by the General Partner (or its designated
Affiliate, as applicable) in respect of Fee Adjustment Amounts (other than amounts returned to the
Partnership by the General Partner (or its designated Affiliate, as applicable) pursuant to paragraph
4.2(d)(ii) prior to final liquidation of the Partnership) reduced by the gross tax liabilities that the General
Partner would have incurred on all allocations of taxable income (net of losses) made pursuant to
paragraph 5.1(a)(i) if: (x) at all times the General Partner were subject to the Applicable Tax Rate; and (y)
all such allocations resulted from fully taxable transactions, plus any tax benefit actually received by the
General Partner in the year in which the General Partner is required to make a payment pursuant to this
paragraph 10.5(b), as calculated by the Partnership's accountants, which such tax benefit is attributable
solely to the making of such payment and which benefit shall be determined after first taking all other
items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the General Partner (or its direct or indirect owners)
into account. In the event that the assets of the General Partner or its designated Affiliate are insufficient
to satisfy the obligation described in the preceding sentence, all members of the General Partner or its
designated Affiliate will on a several, but not joint, basis contribute capital to the General Partner or its
designated Affiliate in an amount equal to each such member's pro rata share of the remaining obligation
to the Partnership (based on the member's pro rata participation in any Cashless Contribution of any
capital contributions to the Partnership).

administrative and judicial proceedings, as required by Section 6223(g) of the Code, and shall furnish to
each Partner, if such Partner so requests in writing, a copy of each notice or other communication
received by the tax matters partner from the Internal Revenue Service, except such notices or
communications as are sent directly to such requesting Partner by the Internal Revenue Service. The

take any actions necessary under Treasury Regulations or other guidance to cause the General Partner to
be designated as such; (ii) the Partnership and each Partner agree that they shall be bound by the actions
taken by the Partnership Representative, as described in Code Section 6223(b); (iii) the Partners consent
to the election set forth in Code Section 6226(a) and agree to take any action, and furnish the General
Partner with any information necessary, to give effect to such election if the General Partner decides to
make such election; (iv) any imputed underpayment imposed on the Partnership pursuant to Code Section
6232 (and any related interest, penalties or other additions to tax) that the General Partner reasonably
determines is attributable to one or more Partners shall be promptly paid by such Partners to the
Partnership (pro rata in proportion to their respective shares of such underpayment) within fifteen days
following the General Partner's request for payment (and any failure to pay such amount shall result in a
subsequent reduction in distributions otherwise payable to such Partner plus interest on such amount
calculated at the Prime Rate plus two percent (2%)) and/or shall constitute an event of default subject to
the terms of paragraph 4.5); provided, that in making the determination of which Partners (including
former Partners) any such imputed underpayment is attributable to, the General Partner will allocate any
imputed underpayment imposed on the Partnership (and any related interest, penalties, additions to tax
and audit costs) among the Partners in good faith taking into account each Partner's particular status,
including, for the avoidance of doubt, a Partner's tax-exempt status; and (v) paragraphs 11.8(a), 15.3 and
15.4 shall apply to the General Partner in its capacity as Partnership Representative. Any references to
Code Sections set forth in this paragraph 11.8(b) refer to those Sections as in effect for fiscal years of the
Partnership beginning after December 31, 2017. Regarding the potential obligation of a former Partner
under this paragraph, the following shall apply: (i) each Partner agrees that notwithstanding any other
provision in this Agreement if it is no longer a Partner it shall nevertheless be obligated for any
responsibilities under this paragraph as if it were a Partner at the time of demand hereunder; and (ii) the
General Partner will not consent to the Transfer of interest of any Limited Partner unless the transferee
receiving such interest agrees that in the event the transferor of such interest does not fulfill its obligation
under the preceding clause (i) within 20 Business Days following written demand by the General Partner,
such transferee shall be jointly and severally liable with such transferor for such obligation and the
General Partner may thereafter treat the transferee as the relevant Partner for purposes of this paragraph.

required under applicable Treasury Regulations, no value shall be placed on the goodwill or the name of
the Partnership in determining the value of the interest of any Partner or in any accounting among the
Partners.
(a) The following criteria shall be used for determining the fair market value of
Securities:
If traded on one or more securities exchanges or the NASDAQ National
Market System, the value shall be deemed to be the Securities' closing price on the principal of such
exchanges on the valuation date.
(ii) If actively traded over the counter (other than on the NASDAQ National
Market System), the value shall be deemed to be the closing price of such Securities on the valuation date.
(iii) If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market
value thereof, as determined by the General Partner, taking into consideration the purchase price of the
Securities, developments concerning the investee company subsequent to the acquisition of the Securities,
any financial data and projections of the investee company provided to the General Partner, and such
other factor or factors as the General Partner may deem relevant.
(b) If the General Partner in good faith determines that, because of special
circumstances, the valuation methods set forth in this Article 12 do not fairly determine the value of a
Security, the General Partner shall make such adjustments or use such alternative valuation method as it
deems appropriate.
(c) The General Partner shall have the power at any time to determine, for all
purposes of this Agreement, the fair market value of any assets and liabilities of the Partnership, subject
to paragraph 12.1(d).
(d) If within thirty (30) days of receipt of a proposed valuation established by the
General Partner pursuant to this paragraph 12.1, the Advisory Committee notifies the General Partner of
an objection to such proposed valuation, then, if the General Partner and the Advisory Committee cannot
otherwise mutually agree on the valuation, the General Partner and the Advisory Committee may each
appoint an independent securities expert to render a valuation, and the average of such experts valuations
shall be adopted as the Partnership's valuation. The fees and expenses of any expert retained in

"Advisory Committee") that will serve as such for the Partnership and the Parallel Funds and shall consist

reasonable judgment; provided, however, that any Limited Partner that is an Affiliate of the General
Partner, the Management Company, any Managing Member or any of their respective members,
employees or Affiliates may not be appointed to be a member of the Advisory Committee. The General
Partner may remove any member of the Advisory Committee at any time in its sole and absolute
discretion; provided,fitethefhowever, that if the General Partner affirmatively removes from the Advisory
Committee a representative of a Limited Partner crent-sepeing-en-theadvisepy-Getimitteewho has been
granted a right to appoint such representative, other than for conduct that the General Partner determines
in its reasonable discretion, is harmful to the Partnership or a Parallel Fund, then such Limited Partner
shall be entitled to appoint a replacement member of the Advisory Committee who is reasonably
acceptable to the General Partner. The duties of the Advisory Committee will include: (a) consideration
of any approvals sought by the General Partner pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (b) upon request
by the General Partner, advising with respect to all matters pertaining to conflicts of interest by the
Partnership, the General Partner or any of the members of the General Partner; and (c) such advice and
counsel as is requested by the General Partner in connection with the Partnership's investments and other
Partnership matters. However, subject to paragraph 12.1(d), the General Partner will retain ultimate
responsibility for asset valuations and for making all investment decisions. The Partnership will
reimburse each member for his or her reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. All actions, consents or
approvals of the Advisory Committee shall require a majority of its members serving at the time such
action, consent or approval is taken, which actions, consents or approvals may be carried out by
telephone, facsimile or electronic mail or other means reasonably acceptable to the General Partner.

PARTNERS SUBJECT TO SPECIAL REGULATION
13.1 ERISA Partners.
(a) Each Limited Partner that is, or whose equity interests are at least partially owned
by, a "benefit plan investor" within the meaning of, and subject to the provisions of, ERISA, (each, an
"ERISA Partner") hereby (i) acknowledges that it is its understanding that neither the Partnership, the
General Partner, nor any of the Affiliated Entities of the General Partner, are "fiduciaries" of such
Limited Partner within the meaning of ERISA by reason of the Limited Partner investing its assets in, and
being a Limited Partner of, the Partnership; (ii) acknowledges that it has been informed of and
understands the investment objectives and policies of, and the investment strategies that may be pursued
by, the Partnership; (iii) acknowledges that it is aware of the provisions of Section 404 of ERISA relating
to the requirements for investment and diversification of the assets of employee benefit plans and trusts
subject to ERISA; (iv) represents that it has given appropriate consideration to the facts and
circumstances relevant to the investment by that ERISA Partner's plan in the Partnership and has
determined that such investment is reasonably designed, as part of such portfolio, to further the purposes
of such plan; (v) represents that, taking into account the other investments made with the assets of such
plan, and the diversification thereof, such plan's investment in the Partnership is consistent with the
requirements of Section 404 and other provisions of ERISA; (vi) acknowledges that it understands that
current income will not be a primary objective of the Partnership; and (vii) represents that, taking into
account the other investments made with the assets of such plan, the investment of assets of such plan in
the Partnership is consistent with the cash flow requirements and funding objectives of such plan.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, each ERISA
Partner may elect to withdraw from the Partnership, or upon demand by the General Partner shall
withdraw from the Partnership, at the time and in the manner hereinafter provided, if either the ERISA
Partner or the General Partner shall obtain an opinion of counsel (which counsel shall be reasonably
acceptable to both the ERISA Partner and the General Partner) to the effect that, as a result of applicable

EFTA00808323
statutes, regulations, case law, administrative interpretations, or similar authority (i) the continuation of
the ERISA Partner as a Limited Partner of the Partnership or the conduct of the Partnership will result, or
there is a material likelihood the same will result, in a material violation of ERISA, or (ii) all or any
portion of the assets of the Partnership constitute assets of the ERISA Partner and are subject to the
provisions of ERISA to substantially the same extent as if owned directly by the ERISA Partner. In the
event of the issuance of such opinion of counsel, a copy of such opinion shall be given to all the ERISA
Partners, together with the written notice of the election of the ERISA Partner to withdraw or the written
demand of the General Partner for withdrawal, whichever the case may be. Thereupon, unless within
ninety (90) days after receipt of such written notice and opinion the General Partner is able to eliminate
the necessity for such withdrawal to the reasonable satisfaction of the ERISA Partner and the General
Partner, whether by correction of the condition giving rise to the necessity of the ERISA Partner's
withdrawal, or the amendment of this Agreement, or otherwise, such ERISA Partner shall withdraw its
entire interest in the Partnership, such withdrawal to be effective upon the last day of the fiscal quarter
during which such ninety (90) day period expired.
(c) The withdrawing ERISA Partner shall be entitled to receive within ninety (90)
days after the date of such withdrawal an amount equal to the amount of such Partner's Capital Account
as of the effective date of such withdrawal.
(d) Any distribution or payment to a withdrawing ERISA Partner pursuant to this
paragraph may, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, be made in cash, in securities, in the form of
a promissory note, the terms of which shall be mutually agreed upon by the General Partner and the
withdrawing ERISA Partner, or any combination thereof.

withdrawing ERISA Partner pursuant to this paragraph shall be made by the General Partner in good faith
pursuant to paragraph 12.1.
13.2 Governmental Plan Partners. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, any Limited Partner that is either a "governmental plan" as defined in Title 29, Section
1002(32) of the United States Code or an employee benefit plan subject to Governmental Plan
Regulations (a "Governmental Plan Partner") may elect to withdraw from the Partnership, or upon
demand by the General Partner shall withdraw from the Partnership, if either the Governmental Plan
Partner or the General Partner shall obtain an opinion of counsel (which counsel shall be reasonably
acceptable to both the Governmental Plan Partner and the General Partner) to the effect that the
Governmental Plan Partner, the Partnership, or the General Partner would be in violation, or there is a
material likelihood the same would result, of any Governmental Plan Regulation, as a result of the
Governmental Plan Partner continuing as a Limited Partner, and, in the case of an opinion obtained by the
General Partner, that such violation would have a material adverse effect on the General Partner or the
Partnership. In the event of the issuance of the opinion of counsel referred to in the preceding sentence,
the withdrawal of and disposition of the Governmental Plan Partner's interest in the Partnership shall be
governed by paragraph 13.1 of the Agreement, as if the Governmental Plan Partner were an ERISA
Partner.

contrary, any Limited Partner that is, or whose equity interests are at least partially owned by, a "private
foundation" as described in Section 509 of the Code (a "Private Foundation Partner"), may elect to
withdraw from the Partnership, or upon demand by the General Partner shall withdraw from the
Partnership, if either the Private Foundation Partner or the General Partner shall obtain an opinion of
counsel (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to both the Private Foundation Partner and the
General Partner) to the effect that such withdrawal is necessary in order for the Private Foundation

commission, or authority having jurisdiction. In the event of the issuance of the opinion of counsel
referred to in the preceding sentence, the withdrawal of and disposition of the Private Foundation

contemporaneously with the admission of such limited partner to the Partnership or such Parallel Fund,
which has the effect of establishing rights with respect to the Partners or the Partnership or supplementing
the terms hereof or any Subscription Agreement in order to meet certain requirements of such Limited
Partner, including, without limitation, the Management Fee chargeable with respect to such Limited
Partner. The parties hereto agree that any terms contained in a Side Letter shall govern, for purposes of
this Agreement or any Subscription Agreement, and be valid, binding and enforceable as among the
Limited Partner that is a party thereto, the General Partner and/or the Partnership.
15.13 Titles; Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for
convenience only and shall not be considered in the interpretation of this Agreement.
15.14 Partnership Name. The Partnership shall have the exclusive right to use the Partnership
name as long as the Partnership continues. Upon termination of the Partnership, the Partnership shall

Account or interest in the Partnership.
15.15 Confidentiality.
(a) This Agreement and all financial statements, tax reports, portfolio valuations,
reviews or analyses of potential or actual investments, reports or other materials and all other documents
and information concerning the affairs of the Partnership and its investments, including, without
limitation, information about the portfolio companies of the Partnership (collectively, the "Confidential
Information"), that any Limited Partner may receive or that may be disclosed, distributed or disseminated
(whether in writing, orally, electronically or by other means) to any Limited Partner or its representatives,
including Confidential Information disclosed to members of the Advisory Committee, pursuant to or in
accordance with this Agreement, or otherwise as a result of its ownership of an interest in the Partnership,
constitute proprietary and confidential information about the Partnership, the General Partner and its
Affiliates and the Partnership's portfolio companies (the "Affected Parties"). Each Limited Partner
acknowledges and agrees that the Affected Parties derive independent economic value from the
Confidential Information not being generally known and that the Confidential Information is the subject
of reasonable efforts to maintain its secrecy. Each Limited Partner further acknowledges and agrees that
the Confidential Information is a trade secret, the disclosure of which is likely to cause substantial and
irreparable competitive harm to the Affected Parties or their respective businesses.
(b) Each Limited Partner agrees to hold all Confidential Information in confidence,
and not to disclose any Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of
the General Partner. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, each Limited Partner may disclose such
50.

EFTA00808334
Confidential Information: (i) to its officers, directors, trustees, wholly-owned subsidiaries, employees and
outside experts (including but not limited to its attorneys and accountants) on a "need to know" basis, so
long as such persons are bound by the same duties of confidentiality to the Partnership as such Limited
Partner, and so long as such Limited Partner shall remain liable for any breach of this paragraph 15.15 by
such persons; (ii) to the extent that such information is required to be disclosed in connection with any
civil or criminal proceeding; (iii) to the extent that such information is required (as determined in good
faith by the disclosing Limited Partner after consultation with counsel) to be disclosed by applicable law
in connection with any governmental, administrative or regulatory proceeding or filing (including any
inspection or examination or any disclosure necessary in connection with a request for information made
under a state or federal freedom of information act or similar law), after reasonable prior written notice to
the General Partner (except where such notice is expressly prohibited by law); (iv) to the extent that such
information was received from a third party not subject to confidentiality limitations and such Limited
Partner can establish that it rightfully received such information from such party other than as a result of
the breach of this paragraph 15.15; (v) to the extent such information was rightfully in such Limited
Partner's possession prior to the Partnership's conveyance of such information to such Limited Partner, as
evidenced by the Limited Partner's prior written records; or (vi) to the extent that the information
provided by the Partnership is otherwise available in the public domain in the absence of any improper or
unlawful action on the part of such Partner. Any Limited Partner seeking to make disclosure in reliance
on the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall use its best efforts to claim any relevant exception under
such laws or obligations which would prevent or limit public disclosure of the Confidential Information
and provide the General Partner immediate notice upon the Limited Partner's receipt of a request for
disclosure of any Confidential Information pursuant to such laws or obligations.
(c) Each Limited Partner also agrees that any document constituting or containing, or
any other embodiment of, any Confidential Information shall be returned to the Partnership upon the
General Partner's request. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the General
Partner may withhold disclosure of any Confidential Information (other than this Agreement or tax
reports) to any particular Limited Partner if the General Partner reasonably determines that the disclosure
of such Confidential Information to such Limited Partner may result in the general public gaining access
to such Confidential Information or that such disclosure is not in the best interests of the Partnership or its
investments; provided, however, that to the extent that any information is not delivered to a Limited
Partner based on the General Partner's exercise of its discretion under this sentence, such information
shall be made available for review, but not copying, during regular business hours at a location mutually
determined by the General Partner and such Limited Partner. In no event shall a Limited Partner be
denied access to information deliverable pursuant to paragraph 11.7 of this Agreement.
(d) With respect to each Limited Partner that is subject to any "freedom of
information," "sunshine" or other law, rule or regulation that imposes upon such Limited Partner an
obligation to make information available to the public, the Partnership hereby requests confidential
treatment of the Confidential Information, and such Limited Partner shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to take such action as necessary for such Confidential Information to be exempt from disclosure, to
the maximum extent permitted under such law, rule or regulation.
(e) With respect to each Limited Partner that is a "fund of funds" or a similar pooled
investment vehicle (but specifically excluding any pension, retirement or similar benefit plan) (a "Pooled
Vehicle Partner"), the Pooled Vehicle Partner shall, subject to paragraph 15.15(d), be permitted to make
disclosure to its direct equity owners (but not to any indirect or other beneficial owners), that are subject
to a written confidentiality agreement or obligation that provides a degree of protection to the Partnership
comparable to that provided in this paragraph 15.15, of solely the following Confidential Information: (i)
the Pooled Vehicle Partner's status as a Limited Partner of the Partnership, (ii) the amount of such Pooled
Vehicle Partner's Capital Commitment, (iii) the total amount of such Pooled Vehicle Partner's Capital
51.
147765658 44
EFTA00808335
Commitment that has been drawn down pursuant to capital calls, (iv) quarterly and annual reports
summarizing the status of the Pooled Vehicle Partner's investment in the Partnership (except that any
financial information regarding the Partnership and any information concerning any portfolio company in
which the Partnership has invested shall not be disclosed and must be redacted), and (v) the name and
address of the Partnership.
The General Partner agrees to hold the identity of each Limited Partner in
confidence if requested to do so by such Limited Partner, and not to disclose such identity to any third
party without the prior written consent of such Limited Partner; provided, however, that the General
Partner may disclose such identity (i) to its members, Affiliates, employees and outside experts (including
but not limited to its attorneys and accountants) so long as such persons have an obligation to maintain
such identity in confidence; (ii) to the extent that such information is required to be disclosed in
connection with any civil or criminal proceeding; (iii) to the extent that such information is required (as
determined in good faith by the General Partner) to be disclosed by applicable law in connection with any
governmental, administrative or regulatory proceeding or filing (including any inspection or examination
or any disclosure necessary in connection with a request for information made under a state or federal
freedom of information act or similar law); or (iv) to the extent that the information provided by the
Partnership is otherwise available in the public domain in the absence of any improper or unlawful action
on the part of such Partner.
(1) Each Limited Partner agrees to notify such Limited Partner's attorneys,
accountants and other similar advisers about their obligations in connection with this paragraph 15.15 and
will further cause such advisers to abide by the aforesaid provisions of this paragraph 15.15.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 15.15, each Partner
(and each Affiliate and Person acting on behalf of any such Partner) agrees that each Partner (and its
attorneys, accountants and other similar advisers) may disclose to appropriate governmental authorities,
the tax treatment and tax structure of the formation and operation of the Partnership and materials
(including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such Partner relating to such tax treatment
and tax structure. This authorization is not intended to permit and does not authorize the disclosure of
any of the following Confidential Information or other information relating to the Partnership: (i) any
information not related to the tax treatment or tax structure of the formation or operation of the
Partnership, (ii) the identities of Partners or potential investors in the Partnership, (iii) the identities of any
portfolio companies or potential portfolio companies of the Partnership or a Prior Fund, (iv) the existence
or status of any negotiations to which the Partnership or its Affiliate is a party, (v) any pricing or financial
information (except to the extent such pricing or financial information is related to the tax treatment or tax
structure of the formation or operation of the Partnership), or (vi) any other term or detail not relevant to
the tax treatment or the tax structure of the Partnership.
