structure the making of a potential investment outside of the Fund, by requiring the Partners
(or certain Partners) or the Fund as a whole to make such investment through limited
partnerships, limited liability companies, corporations, trusts or other entities (each, an
"Alternative Investment Vehicle") that shall invest in lieu of the Fund. Each Partner shall
have the same economic interest in all material respects in an Investment made pursuant to
this Section 4.01(6) as such Partner would have if such Investment had been made solely
by the Fund, subject to applicable legal, tax, regulatory, accounting or other similar
considerations. Additionally, to the extent practicable, in respect of each investment made
DOC ID - 26354060.5
10
EFTA00614672
pursuant to this Section 4.01(b), the provisions of this Agreement regarding distributions
and allocations shall be applied as if such investment had been made by the Fund and the
other terms of the organizational documents of any Alternative Investment Vehicle shall,
to the extent reasonably practicable and in all cases subject to any legal, tax or regulatory
requirements and the implications thereof, have a substantially similar impact in all
material respects to those of the Fund.
(c)
The General Partner, an Affiliate thereof or third persons may also
establish one or more investment vehicles that will invest all or substantially all of their
capital in the Fund to accommodate the requirements of certain investors (each a "Feeder
Fund"). Investors in any Feeder Fund will be responsible for their respective pto tit shares
of the costs of organizing, and offering interests in, such Feeder Funds and will also
indirectly bear their
gilt shares of the applicable Fund expenses. The interests of a
Feeder Fund (i) shall for purposes of any vote, consent or approval required under this
Agreement, be treated as if each investor in such Feeder Fund holds a direct Interest in the
Fund with a Capital Contribution equal to its capital contribution to such Feeder Fund and
(ii) may, in the General Partner's discretion, be treated as if such Interests were held by
more than one Limited Partner for purposes of determining the appropriate treatment of
such Feeder Fund in connection with any other provision of this Agreement.
Section 4.02
Authorized Activities. The management of the Fund shall be
vested exclusively in the General Partner. The General Partner shall have the authority, on behalf
of and in the name of the Fund, to take any action or make any decisions on behalf of the Fund, to
carry out any and all of the purposes of the Fund set forth in Section 4.01, and to perform all acts

specific investment that is secured solely by the Fund's interest in such investment);
(c)
to enter into joint venture arrangements, co-invest with third
parties or invest in other pooled investment vehicles (including pooled investment vehicles that

necessary or advisable by the General Partner or the Manager for the accomplishment of the
purposes of the Fund including, without limitation, contracts with the General Partner;

and
(n)

Section 4.03
Borrowings. The Fund may, either directly or indirectly, enter into
financing arrangements as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion. Such leverage
may be obtained directly or through an Alternative Investment Vehicle. Any such financing may
be secured by a pledge of the assets of the Fund. Borrowing arrangements entered into pursuant

things, Carried Interest, minimum and additional subscription amounts, information rights, and
other rights. The terms and the scope of the offering of such rights (including an offering limited
to strategic or other specific categories of investors) will be determined by the General Partner
in its sole discretion without disclosure to or receiving consent from existing Limited Partners.
In addition to the foregoing, the General Partner may also enter into such arrangements to address
legal, regulatory, tax or policy issues impacting particular Limited Partners and their investment
activities. To the extent that the Fund issues multiple classes of Interests, a Limited Partner may
not convert its Interest from one class of Interests to another without the General Partner's
consent, which may be withheld in its sole discretion.

The General Partner shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to
admit additional Limited Partners to the Fund, or permit an existing Partner to make an additional
Capital Contribution to the Fund, in one or more Subsequent Closings. The Limited Partners

additional Capital Contributions of other existing Partners after the Initial Closing and agree to
take all reasonable actions requested by the General Partner to effectuate the same, including
any and all actions contemplated by this Agreement.
(b)
The Capital Contributions made in connection with any
Subsequent Closing shall be excluded from participating in any then-existing Investments held
by the Fund, except in the event the General Partner determines such participation would not be

into account such factors as it deems appropriate which may include, without limitation, the
change in valuation of Investments from the Initial Closing to the date of the additional capital
contribution, the period of time elapsed from the Initial Closing to the Subsequent Closing, the
expected duration of the Investment, and such other factors that may be relevant under the
circumstances. In the event the General Partner determines to permit additional Limited Partners

The General Partner may in its sole discretion also require the new Limited Partner to pay
existing Limited Partners interest amounts. In the event the General Partner determines to permit
Capital Contributions made in connection with any Subsequent Closing to participate in any
then-existing Investments and such participation would cause existing Limited Partners to be
returned Capital Contributions, then the General Partner shall provide prompt notice thereof to
the Limited Partners.

pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall accede to this Agreement by executing, together with the
General Partner (for itself and as attorney-in-fact for the existing Limited Partners), an
amendment or other agreement to be bound by the terms hereof in such form as the General
Partner considers appropriate, which shall be deemed for all purposes to constitute an
amendment to this Agreement providing for such admission but shall not require the consent of
any other Partner. The admission of additional Limited Partners to the Fund shall be effective

later effective date as is set forth in such amendment or other agreement.

such allocations, as nearly as possible, are equal (proportionately) to:
(i)
the distributions that would be made to such Capital Account
pursuant to Section 6.02 and Section 6.03 if the Fund were dissolved, its affairs
wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Carrying Value, all liabilities of
the Fund were satisfied (limited, with respect to each nonrecourse liability, to the

DOC ID • 26354060.5
15
EFTA00614677
Regulations Section I .704-2(bX4)) equal to the Partnership Minimum Gain that

(as defined in Treasury Regulations Section I .752-I(aX2)) determined in
accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(iX3) ("Partner Nonrecourse
Debt Minimum Gain") during any taxable year of the Fund, the Partners shall be
specially allocated items of income and gain for such year (and, if necessary,
subsequent years) in an amount equal to their respective shares of such net decrease
during such year, determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)
and 1.704-2(i)(5). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance
with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 5.08(bXi) is intended
to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in such Treasury
Regulations Sections and shall be interpreted consistently therewith, including that
no chargeback shall be required to the extent of the exceptions provided in Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(iX4).

provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Partner is deemed to be
obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations
Sections 1.704-2(g)( I) and 1.704-2(iX5), each such Partner shall be specially
allocated items of income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as
possible; prad that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.08(b)(iii) shall be
made only if and to the extent that a Partner would have a deficit Capital Account
in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Section
5.08have been tentatively made as if Section 5.08(bXii) and this Section 5.08(b)(iii)
were not in this Agreement.
(iv)
Nonrecourse Deductions.

taken into account in computing subsequent allocations pursuant to this ARTICLE
V, so that the net amount of any items so allocated and all other items allocated to
each Partner shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would

had not occurred.
Section 5.09 Tax Allocations. For income tax purposes only, each item of
income, gain, loss and deduction of the Fund shall be allocated among the Partners in the same
manner as the corresponding items are allocated for Capital Account purposes; provided that in
the case of any Fund asset the Carrying Value of which differs from its adjusted tax basis for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall be
allocated solely for income tax purposes pursuant to the principles of Sections 704(b) and (c) of
the Code (in any permitted manner determined by the General Partner) so as to take account of the
difference between the Carrying Value and adjusted tax basis of such asset. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the General Partner, in its sole discretion, shall make allocations for tax purposes as
may be needed to ensure that allocations are in accordance with the interests of the Partners within
the meaning of the Code and the Treasury Regulations. The General Partner, in its sole discretion,

Capital Contributions in respect of such Investment. The amount of any such Net Cash Flow

withholding taxes or any other amounts owed by such Limited Partner) will be further divided
between the Limited Partners and the General Partner and distributed to the Limited Partners and

relevant taxable period made to the General Partner on account of the Carried Interest (computed
on the assumption that the income allocated to the General Partner is taxed at the Combined Tax
Rate) over (2) the distributions of Carried Interest ("Carried Interest Distributions") during such
Fiscal Year and, without duplication, any prior Tax Distributions made to the General Partner
with respect to such Fiscal Year or other relevant taxable period. Any Tax Distributions shall
be treated, for all purposes of this Agreement, as if they were distributions of Carried Interest to

(b)
In order to preserve the confidentiality of certain information
disseminated by the General Partner or the Fund under this Agreement that a Limited Partner
that is subject to FOIA or any Limited Partner that has one or more equity owners that are subject
to FOIA (any such Limited Partner a "FOIA Limited Partner") is entitled to receive pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, semi-annual, annual and other
reports (other than Schedules K-1) and any due diligence materials (including information
provided at meetings with the Limited Partners), the General Partner may (i) provide to such
FOIA Limited Partner access to such information only on the Fund's (or the Manager's) website
in password-protected, non-downloadable, non-printable format or (ii) require such FOIA
Limited Partner to return any copies of information provided to it by the General Partner or the
Fund (including any subsequent copies made by such Limited Partner).
(c)
Each Limited Partner shall promptly notify the General Partner if
at any time such Limited Partner is or becomes subject to Section 552(a) of Title 5 of the United
States Code (commonly known as the "Freedom of Information Act") or any public disclosure
law, rule or regulation of any governmental or non-governmental entity that could require similar
or broader public disclosure of confidential information provided to such Limited Partner
(collectively, such laws, rules or regulations "FOIA"). To the extent that any such Limited
Partner receives a request for public disclosure of any confidential Fund information provided
to it, such Limited Partner agrees that: (i) it shall use its best efforts to (x) promptly notify the
General Partner of such disclosure request and promptly provide the General Partner with a copy
of such disclosure request or a detailed summary of the information being requested, (y) inform
the General Partner of the timing for responding to such disclosure request, and (z) consult with
the General Partner regarding the response to such disclosure request; (ii) it shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to oppose and prevent the requested disclosure unless such
Limited Partner is advised by counsel that there exists no reasonable basis on which to oppose
such disclosure; and (iii) notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General
Partner may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in order to prevent any such potential
disclosure that the General Partner determines in good faith is likely to occur, withhold all or
any part of the information otherwise to be provided to such Limited Partner; provided, however,
that the General Partner shall not withhold any such information if such Limited Partner confirms
in writing to the General Partner, based upon advice of counsel, that compliance with the
procedures in Section 14.10(b) is legally sufficient to prevent such potential disclosure.
(d)
The General Partner may not disclose the identities of the Limited
Partners, except in connection with any legal proceeding or applicable law or on a confidential
basis to its Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, professional advisers or consultants,
regulators, third-party partners, lenders or other financial sources or otherwise in connection with
an Investment.
