425337.28
- 16 -
EFTA00310590

thereto.
(b) If a Capital Contribution (other than a Capital Contribution made in
respect of a Remaining Capital Commitment pursuant to Sec. 4.02) is made by a Limited
Partner as of any date other than the first day of a calendar quarter, the Partnership shall pay to
the Management Company a Management Fee with respect thereto equal to 0.375% of such
Capital Contribution multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days
remaining in the quarter as of (and including) the contribution date and the denominator of
which is 90. Such fee will be paid upon the contribution of the additional funds to the
Partnership and the Limited Partner Primary Capital Account in respect of which such
contribution was made shall be decreased by the amount of such fee.
(c) The Remaining Side-Pocket Management Fee payable with respect to
each Side-Pocket Sub-Account with respect to any Remaining Side-Pocket Investment shall be
accrued and, upon any realization or Deemed Realization of the applicable Side-Pocket
Investment, or the receipt of any SPA Net Realized Income with respect thereto, any accrued
and unpaid Remaining Side-Pocket Management Fee, with interest at the Priority Rate, shall be
paid to the Management Company from such proceeds prior to any such proceeds being
distributed to the Partner holding such Side-Pot Sub-Account. If a remaining Side-Pocket
Investment is realized or Deemed Realized in full and the amount of the accrued and unpaid

Pocket Investment with respect to which there is a realization, Deemed Realization or SPA Net
Realized Income.
(d) In the discretion of the General Partner, the Management Fee and the

investment in which both the Partnership and any Other Account participate, such costs incurred
by the Partnership or such Other Account shall be borne p.m rata by such entities based on the
amount invested by such entities, unless the General Partner reasonably determines that such
costs shall be borne in different proportions. The General Partner shall fund SPA Expenses by
debiting such amount to the Primary Capital Accounts of the Participating Partners with respect
to such Side-Pocket Investment in proportion to their Side-Pocket Participating Percentages
therein (and if a Participating Partner has no Primary Capital Account with tcspett to such Side
425337.28
-17-
EFTA00310591

amount equal to the amount that would otherwise be debited to its Primary Capital Account (or
the amount of such excess) and if such amount is not contributed, the proceeds of any such
Side-Pocket Sub-Account of such Partner will be reduced by such amount, in each case with
interest at the Priority Rate from the date such SPA Expense was paid by the Partnership

Accounts have invested in such portfolio company) of such fees shall be offset against the
Management Fee during the year in which such fees are received, with any excess to be carried
forward to be offset against the Management Fee in future years. If any such fee was paid by an
issuer in which the Partnership has a Side-Pocket Investment, such fee shall only offset the
Management Fee with respect to the Primary Capital Accounts of Participating Partners with
respect to such Side-Pocket Investment. Any reduction of the Management Fee pursuant to the
preceding two sentences shall be applied to reduce the Management Fee charged to each
Primary Capital Account (or each Primary Capital Account that has a Related Side Pocket Sub-

Accounts.

soft dollars generated by the Partnership), administrative services and secretarial, clerical and
other personnel to the Partnership. The Partnership shall not bear the expense of such items,

the interests of its Affiliates, or (ii) in its "good faith" or under another express standard, the

Capital Account pursuant to Sec. 4.01 or Sec. 4.02, (ii) decreased by its share of the cost (based
on its Side-Pocket Participating Percentage) of any Side-Pocket Investment in which such
Primary Capital Account participates or any Follow-Up Investment (as determined pursuant to
Sec. 4.06(b)), (iii) increased or decreased as described in Sec. 4.02(6), (iv) increased or
decreased by the amount of any PCA Net Capital Appreciation or Depreciation credited or
debited to such Primary Capital Account (as determined pursuant to Sec. 4.04); (v) decreased or
increased by any amount of Incentive Allocation allocated or reallocated from or to such
Primary Capital Account pursuant to Secs. 4.04(b) or (d) (which relate to Primary Capital
Accounts), 4.06 (which relates to Side Pocket Investments) or 5.08 (which relates to Remaining
Side Pocket Investments); (vi) increased by the Value, if any of investments or proceeds
transferred from a Related Side-Pocket Sub-Account to such Primary Capital Account pursuant
to Sec. 4.06 or Sec. 5.08; (vii) decreased by the amount of SPA Expenses debited to such
Primary Capital Account pursuant to Sec. 3.07(e); (viii) decreased by the amount of any
withdrawals or distributions with respect thereto; and (ix) decreased by the amount of the
Management Fee paid with respect to such Primary Capital Account pursuant to Sec. 3.07.

(b) The Primary Capital Account of each Limited Partner shall be divided
into:
(i) a Primary Capital Account Sub-Account consisting of the
Primary Capital Account balance of such Limited Partner relating to (A) all Capital
Contributions made by such Limited Partner prior to March 1, 2002 and (B) with respect
to each non-Consenting Limited Partner, all Capital Contributions made by such Limited
Partner occurring on or after March 1, 2002; and
(ii) with respect to each Consenting Limited Partner and each
Limited Partner admitted to the Partnership on or after March 1, 2002, separate Primary
Capital Account Sub-Accounts relating to each Capital Contribution made by any such
Limited Partner occurring on or after March 1, 2002.
Sec. 4.04 Allocation of PCA Net Capital Appreciation or Depreciation: Incentive
Allocation.
(a) Subject to the other sub-sections of this Sec. 4.04, at the end of each
Accounting Period, the Primary Capital Account(s) of each Partner shall be adjusted by
crediting any PCA Net Capital Appreciation or debiting any PCA Net Capital Depreciation to
the Primary Capital Accounts of all the Partners in proportion to their respective PCA
Participating Percentages as of the beginning of the Accounting Period, and each Limited
Partner's share thereof shall be allocated among and credited to or debited against the Primary
Capital Account Sub-Accounts of such Limited Partner in proportion to the respective opening
Primary Capital Account Sub-Account balances thereof.
(b) Subject to the next following sentence and the other sub-sections of
this Sec. 4.04, at the end of each fiscal year of the Partnership, an incentive allocation (the
"Incentive Allocation") shall be credited to a capital account of the General Partner (a portion of
which shall be credited to the associated Clawback Reserve Account, if any, and the balance of
which shall be credited to the Vested Incentive Account as described in (dXfii) below) with
respect to each Limited Partner Primary Capital Account (and debited to such Limited Partner
Primary Capital Account). The Incentive Allocation with respect to each Limited Partner
Primary Capital Account shall equal 20% of the aggregate Net Increase with respect to such
Limited Partner Primary Capital Account for such fiscal year; provided, however, that the Net
Increase upon which the calculation of the Incentive Allocation is based shall be reduced (but
not below zero) to the extent of any then remaining balance in the Loss Recovery Account with
respect to such Primary Capital Account. The balance remaining in a Loss Recovery Account
for purposes of the foregoing proviso shall be the amount existing immediately prior to
reduction for any Net Increase with respect to such Primary Capital Account since the
immediately preceding date as of which an Incentive Allocation was made (or if no Incentive
Allocation has been made, since the beginning of the applicable Lock-Up Period) as determined
pursuant to the second clause of the second sentence of Sec. 4.04(eXi).
(c) In the discretion of the General Partner, the Incentive Allocation may
be calculated differently with respect to, or may not be charged to, any Limited Partner,
425337.23
-22-
EFTA00310596
including any Limited Partner that is an Affiliate or is a member of the Immediate Family of the
Managing Member.
(d) (i) No Incentive Allocation shall be made with respect to a Primary
Capital Account of any Class A Limited Partner at any time unless the sum of the Net Increase
in respect of such Primary Capital Account since the beginning of the Lock-Up Period in which
such year falls with respect to such Primary Capital Account (less any Net Decrease during such
period) exceeds the Priority Return with respect to such Primary Capital Account at such time.
An Incentive Allocation shall be made at any time only to the extent that it does not reduce such
aggregate Net Increase since the beginning of such Lock-Up Period with respect to such
Primary Capital Account to an amount less than the Priority Return at such date.
(ii)
If, as a result of the application of the Priority Return, the
General Partner is allocated less than the aggregate Incentive Allocation which would otherwise
be due with respect to a particular Primary Capital Account in any year, the Incentive
Allocation in future years (if any) during the same Lock-Up Period with respect to such Primary
Capital Account shall be increased by such deficiency (provided that such increase does not
result in the Net Increase with respect to such Primary Capital Account (after taking into
account the aggregate Incentive Allocations during the relevant Lock-Up Period with respect
thereto) during the Lock-Up Period being less than the Priority Return).
(iii)
A "Clawback Reserve Account" associated with each
Limited Partner Primary Capital Account of a Class A Limited Partner from which an Incentive
Allocation has been made shall be maintained as separate Primary Capital Accounts for the
General Partner. A "Vested Incentive Account" shall also be maintained as a separate Primary
Capital Account for the General Partner.
(A) In the case of (i) a Primary Capital Account that is
established as of January 1 or as of the first Business Day of any fiscal year or (ii) a Primary
Capital Account, regardless of the date of its establishment, where the first Incentive Allocation
made with respect to such account covers a period of greater than twelve months, a Clawback
Reserve Account shall be established and initially be credited with an amount equal to 66 2/3%
of the difference between the Incentive Allocation made with respect to the associated Limited
Partner Primary Capital Account and the GP Tax Distribution with respect thereto as of the date
of the first Incentive Allocation in a Lock-Up Period, provided the end of such fiscal year is not
the end of a Lock-Up Period (in which case no portion of such Incentive Allocation shall be
credited to a Clawback Reserve Account). The balance of such Incentive Allocation shall be
credited to the Vested Incentive Account. At the end of the first fiscal year after the year in
which it was established, such Clawback Reserve Account shall be adjusted as follows,
provided the end of such fiscal year is not the end of a Lock-Up Period (in which case the
account shall be governed by the next sentence): first, reduced by any GP Tax Distribution with
respect thereto; second, reduced by any Clawback (as described below); third, reduced by 50%
of the then remaining balance of such Account; and fourth, increased by 66 2/3% of the
difference between the Incentive Allocation made with respect to the associated Limited Partner
Primary Capital Account for such year and the GP Tax Distribution with respect thereto. At the
end of the second fiscal year after the year in which it was established, and in any case at the
end of any Lock-Up Period, such Clawback Reserve Account shall be adjusted as follows: fir.sl
42533718
- 23 -
EFTA00310597
reduced by any GP Tax Distribution with respect thereto; second, reduced by any Clawback
with respect thereto; and third, reduced by an amount equal to 100% of the remaining balance
of such Clawback Reserve Account. The amount by which such Clawback Reserve Account is
reduced pursuant to clauses first and third of the two preceding sentences will, at the General
Partner's election, either be credited to the Vested Incentive Account or distributed to the
General Partner.
(B)
hi the case of a Primary Capital Account that is
established as of any day other than January 1 or the first Business Day of a fiscal year where an
Incentive Allocation is made with respect to the fiscal year in which such Primary Capital
Account was established, a Clawback Reserve Account shall be established and initially be
credited with an amount equal to 75% of the difference between the Incentive Allocation made
with respect to the associated Limited Partner Primary Capital Account and the GP Tax
Distribution with respect thereto as of the date of such Incentive Allocation. The balance of
such Incentive Allocation shall be credited to the Vested Incentive Account. At the end of the
first fisral year after the year in which it was established, the Clawback Reserve Account shall
be adjusted as follows, provided the end of such fiscal year is not the end of a Lock-Up Period
(in which case the account shall be governed by the second following sentence): firs reduced
by any GP Tax Distribution with respect thereto; second, reduced by any Clawback (as
described below); third, reduced by 33-1/3% of the then remaining balance of such Account;
and fourth, increased by 66 2/3% of the difference between the Incentive Allocation made with
respect to the associated Limited Partner Primary Capital Account for such year and the GP Tax
Distribution with respect thereto. At the end of the second fiscal year after the year in which it
was established, the Clawback Reserve Account shall be adjusted as follows, provided the end
of such fiscal year is not the end of a Lock-Up Period (in which case the account shall be
governed by the next sentence): first, reduced by any GP Tax Distribution with respect thereto;
second, reduced by any Clawback with respect thereto; third, reduced by 50% of the then
remaining balance of such Account; and fourth, increased by 66 2/3% of the difference between
the Incentive Allocation made with respect to the associated Limited Partner Primary Capital
Account for such year and the GP Tax Distribution with respect thereto. At the end of the third
fiscal year after its establishment, and in any case at the end of any Lock-Up Period, such
Clawback Reserve Account shall be adjusted as follows: first, reduced by any GP Tax
Distribution with respect thereto; second, reduced by any Clawback with respect thereto; and
third, reduced by 100% of the remaining balance of such Clawback Reserve Account. The
amount by which such Clawback Reserve Account is reduced pursuant to clauses first and third
of the three preceding sentences will, at the General Partner's election, either be credited to the
Vested Incentive Account or distributed to the General Partner.
(C) If at the end of any fiscal year (including the last
fiscal year) in a Lock-Up Period there has been an Excess Allocation with respect to a Limited
Partner Primary Capital Account, an amount shall be reallocated from the associated Clawback
Reserve Account to the associated Limited Partner Primary Capital Account equal to the lesser
of the Excess Allocation and the amount in the associated Clawback Reserve Account (the
"Clawback"), and the associated Clawback Reserve Account shall be reduced by such
reallocation. The balance (or any portion) of the Clawback Reserve Account established with
respect to a particular Limited Partner Primary Capital Account may be reallocated to such
associated Limited Partner Primary Capital Account or paid to the Limited Partner with respect
425337.28
-24-
EFTA00310598
to which such Primary Capital Account was established, as the General Partner and such
Limited Partner may agree. The provisions of this subsection 4.04(dXiii)(C) shall apply to any
Clawback Reserve Account, whether such account was maintained pursuant to subsection
4.04(dXiiiXA) or 4.04(d)(iii)(B).
(iv)
If the General Partner is removed pursuant to Sec. 3.09, or
if a Limited Partner withdraws from the Partnership pursuant to clauses (iii) or (iv) of Sec. 5.03,
the entire balance in each Clawback Reserve Account (in the case of such removal) or the
Clawback Reserve Account established with respect to the Primary Capital Account of the
withdrawing Partner shall be reallocated to the Primary Capital Account of the Limited Partner
with respect to which such Clawback Reserve Account was established.
(v)
The provisions of this Section 4.04(d) shall not apply to
the Primary Capital Account of any Class B Limited Partner. No Clawback Reserve Account
shall be established under this Section 4.04(d) with respect to any Primary Capital Account of a
Class B Limited Partner and all Incentive Allocations made with respect to any such Primary
Capital Account shall be credited, at the General Partner's discretion, either to the Vested
Capital Account or distributed to the General Partner.
(e) (i)There shall be established on the books of the Partnership for each
Primary Capital Account a separate memorandum account (the "Loss Recovery Account"), the
opening balance of which shall be zero. At the end of each fiscal year or at such other date
during a fiscal year as the calculation of an Incentive Allocation is required to be made for such
Partner under this Sec. 4.04, the balance of the Loss Recovery Account shall be adjusted as
follows: first, if there has been, in the aggregate, Net Decrease with respect to such Primary
Capital Account since the immediately preceding date as of which an Incentive Allocation was
made (or if no Incentive Allocation has yet been made with tcb-pcct to such Primary Capital,
Account, since the date of the establishment of such Primary Capital Account) an amount equal
to such excess Net Decrease shall increase the Loss Recovery Account, and, second, if there has
been, in the aggregate, Net Increase with respect to such Primary Capital Account since the
immediately preceding date as of which an Incentive Allocation was made (or if no Incentive
Allocation has yet been made with respect to such Primary Capital Account, since the
establishment of such Primary Capital Account), an amount equal to such Net Increase, before
any Incentive Allocation to the General Partner, shall reduce the balance in such Loss Recovery
Account, but not beyond zero. In addition, the balance in such Loss Recovery Account shall be
reduced, but not beyond zero, at the time any such Clawback reallocation is made by an amount
equal to the amount of Net Increase which gave rise to an amount of Incentive Allocation which
gave rise to the amount of any Clawback reallocated at such time to the associated Limited
Partner Primary Capital Account.
(ii)
In the event that there is a withdrawal by a Limited Partner
from a Primary Capital Account with a balance in its Loss Recovery Account, the balance in
such Loss Recovery Account shall be reduced as of the beginning of the next Accounting
Period by an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the balance in such Loss
Recovery Account by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the withdrawal made
by such Limited Partner as of the last day of the prior Accounting Period and the denominator
of which is the balance in such Primary Capital Account on the last day of the prior Accounting
42533728
- 25 -
EFTA00310599
Period (prior to the withdrawal made by the Limited Partner as of the last day of the Accounting
Period).
(f) In the event that the Partnership is dissolved otherwise than at the end
of a fiscal year, or the effective date of the removal of the General Partner pursuant to Sec. 3.09
or the withdrawal of a Primary Capital Account is other than fiscal year end, then for purposes
of determining the Incentive Allocation and a Clawback, if any, with respect to Limited Partner
Primary Capital Accounts, PCA Net Capital Appreciation or Depreciation (and Net Increase or
Decrease) shall be determined through the dissolution or removal date (for all Limited Partners)
or withdrawal date (for the withdrawing Partner only) as if such date was the end of a fiscal
year. In the event of such a removal of the General Partner pursuant to Sec. 3.09 or a
withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.03 (x) or (y) (iii) or (iv), the percentage on which the Incentive
Allocation to the General Partner with respect to the period ending on the effective date of such
removal (with respect to all Primary Capital Accounts) or withdrawal (with respect to the
withdrawn Primary Capital Account) shall equal the then percentage on which the Incentive
Allocation is based with respect to such Primary Capital Account multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is 1 and the denominator of which is the number of years in the then current
Lock-Up Period applicable to such Primary Capital Account, and the entire amount so allocated
will be credited to the General Partner's Vested Incentive Account.
(g) If, at the time of making any proposed investment that is not a Side-
Pocket Investment, the aggregate Value of a Primary Capital Account's participation in all
investments (including those held in a Side-Pocket Sub-Account and including the proposed
investment) in the Securities of the issuer of the proposed investment or of its Control Affiliates
would exceed such Primary Capital Account's Concentration Limit, or in the event the General
Partner, in its sole discretion, at any time determines (including, but not limited to, in order to
comply with the Rules of Fair Practice of the NASD relating to the allocation of "hot issues")
that a Partner will not participate in the Partnership's investment in any Security (other than a
Side-Pocket Investment), such Partner's PCA Participating Percentage with respect thereto shall
be zero. The interests in such Security shall be set forth in a separate memorandum account in
which only the Partners having an interest in such Security (any such Partner, for such Security,
being referred to as an "Unrestricted Partner) shall have an interest (pro rata in accordance with
PCA Participating Percentages) and the PCA Net Capital Appreciation or Depreciation for each
such memorandum account shall be separately calculated. For purposes of determining whether
a proposed investment would cause the aggregate Value of a Primary Capital Account's
participation in all investments (as described above) in the Securities of the issuer of the
proposed investment or its Control Affiliates to exceed such Primary Capital Account's
Concentration Limit, the Value of short positions in the Securities of the issuer of the proposed
investments and its Control Affiliates will not be aggregated with the Value of long positions in
the Securities of such Persons.
(h) At the end of each Accounting Period during which a memorandum
account created pursuant to Sec. 4.04(g) (a "Memorandum Account") was in existence, the
Primary Capital Account of each Unrestricted Partner with respect thereto may, in the discretion
of the General Partner, be debited gm rata in accordance with the Primary Capital Accounts of
all Unrestricted Partners with respect thereto at the opening of such Accounting Period in an
amount equal to the interest that would have accrued on the amount used to purchase the
425337.28
-26-
EFTA00310600
securities attributable to the Memorandum Account (the "Purchase Price") for the period such
securities were in the Memorandum Account had the Purchase Price earned interest for such
period at the rate per annum being paid by the Partnership from time to time during the
applicable Accounting Period for borrowed funds, or, if funds have not been borrowed by the
Partnership during such Accounting Period, at the interest rate per annum that the General
Partner determines, in its sole discretion, would have been paid if funds had been borrowed by
the Partnership during such Accounting Period. The amount so debited shall then be credited to
the Primary Capital Accounts of all of the Partners p rata in accordance with their Primary
Capital Accounts as of the opening of the Accounting Period.
(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the General
Partner is removed for cause pursuant to Sec. 3.09 and, at the time of such removal, the
Partnership maintains any Side-Pocket Sub-Accounts, the General Partner will receive a portion
of the Incentive Allocation with respect to each Primary Capital Account in the year any SPA
Net Realized Income is received with respect to the investment held in such Side-Pocket Sub-
Account, such portion to equal 1/6 of the Incentive Allocation attributable to such SPA Net
Realized Income (based on the portion of the Net Increase attributable to such SPA Net
Realized Income). Any amount allocated to the General Partner pursuant to this section shall
not be subject to any restrictions on withdrawal.
Sec. 4.05 Amendment of Incentive Allocation. The General Partner shall have
the right to amend, without the consent of the Limited Partners, Sec. 4.04 of this Agreement so
that the Incentive Allocation therein provided conforms to any applicable requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory authorities; provided, however, that no
such amendment shall increase the Incentive Allocation for any existing Limited Partner as so
amended to more than the amount that would be allocable prior to giving effect to such
amendment without the consent of each Limited Partner that would be subject to such increase.
Sec. 4.06 $ide-Pocket Accounts; Side-Pocket Sub-Accounts; Remaining Side-
Pocket Investments.
(a) The Partnership shall maintain a separate memorandum account on its
books for each Security position which is designated by the General Partner to be held in a
Side-Pocket 'Account. All Primary Capital Account Sub-Accounts (other than the Primary
Capital Account Sub-Accounts of an Excused Partner and any Clawback Reserve Account)
shall participate therein through separate Side-Pocket Sub-Accounts in proportion to their
respective Unused Amount Eligible for Side-Pocket Investments (adjusted as described below)
at the time such Side-Pocket Account is established; provided, however that if the participation
by a Primary Capital Account Sub-Account in accordance with its Unused Amount Eligible for
Side-Pocket Investments would, at the time of investment, cause the aggregate Value of the
Primary Capital Account's participation in investments (either directly or through Side-Pocket
Accounts) in Securities of the issuer of the Side-Pocket Investment or of Control Affiliates of
such issuer to exceed the Concentration Limit, then, for purposes of such Side-Pocket
Investment only, such Primary Capital Account Sub-Account's Unused Amount Eligible for
Side-Pocket Investments shall be deemed reduced to the maximum amount that would not cause
the Value of all such investments to exceed the Concentration Limit. No Primary Capital
425337.28
-27-
EFTA00310601
Account Sub-Account established after the establishment of a Side-Pocket Account will be
allocated to such Side-Pocket Account.
(b) In the event the Partnership makes a Follow-Up Investment with
respect to a Side-Pocket Investment, the Participating Partners shall share in such Follow-Up
Investment in proportion to their Side-Pocket Participating Percentages in the Related
Side-Pocket Account and the cost of funding such Follow-Up Investment shall be debited to the
Primary Capital Account Sub-Accounts (from which such Side-Pocket Investments were
funded) of such Participating Partners. If for any reason, such Primary Capital Account
Sub-Accounts are unable to participate in such investment in proportion to their Side-Pocket
Participating Percentages in the related Side-Pocket Account, such investment shall not be
designated as a Follow-Up Investment but shall be deemed and treated as a new Side-Pocket
Investment.
In its discretion, the General Partner need not designate as a "Follow-Up
Investment" an additional investment in the same or similar opportunity as the investment for
which a Side-Pocket Account has been established (and such investment may, in the discretion
of the General Partner, be designated as a new Side-Pocket Investment).
(c) Upon any Deemed Realization, sale, distribution to Partners or other
disposition of all or a portion of an investment maintained in a Side-Pocket Account (or any
receipt of income with respect to such investment), the Value of the investment (in the case of a
Deemed Realization or distribution) or the proceeds thereof (or any dividend, interest, or other
distribution with respect thereto) shall be transferred from the Side-Pocket Account to the
related Primary Capital Account Sub-Accounts of each of the Participating Partners in
accordance with their respective Side-Pocket Participating Percentages; provided, however, that
the Value or proceeds of any Remaining Side-Pocket Investment shall be applied as described
in Sec. 4.06(d), rather than as described in this Sec. 4.06(c).
(d) (i) Subject to the following provisions of this Sec. 4.06(d), upon any
Deemed Realization, sale, distribution to Partners or other disposition of all or a portion of any
Remaining Side-Pocket Investment resulting in SPA Net Realized Income in a Remaining Side
Pocket Sub-Account, an incentive allocation (a "Remaining Side-Pocket Incentive Allocation")
shall be made to the General Partner with respect thereto. Such Remaining Side-Pocket
Incentive Allocation shall equal 20% of the excess of (A) the aggregate SPA Net Realized
Income with respect to the Remaining Side-Pocket Sub-Account over (B) any Remaining Side-
Pocket Management Fee with respect thereto; provided, however, that the SPA Net Realized
Income upon which the calculation of the Remaining Side-Pocket Incentive Allocation is based
shall be reduced (but not beyond zero) by the balance existing in the RSP Loss Recovery
Account (prior to giving effect to any decrease pursuant to clause (y) of the definition thereof)
with respect to the Limited Partner for which such Remaining Side-Pocket Sub-Account was
maintained.
(ii)
No Remaining Side-Pocket Incentive Allocation shall be
made with respect to a Remaining Side-Pocket Investment held in a particular Remaining Side-
Pocket Sub-Account established with respect to a Primary Capital Account Sub-Account of a
Class A Limited Partner at any time unless the SPA Net Realized Income at such time in respect
of such Remaining Side-Pocket Investment (and any other SPA Net Realized Income in respect
of any Remaining Side-Pocket Investment with respect to the Primary Capital Account
425337.28
-28-
EFTA00310602
Sub-Account with respect to which such Remaining Side-Pocket Sub-Account was maintained)
yields a rate of return, in excess of the sum of (w) the Priority Return Deficit, (x) the Remaining
Side-Pocket Priority Return with respect to such Remaining Side-Pocket Investment, (y) the
Remaining Side-Pocket Priority Return with rebpect to any other Remaining Side-Pocket
Investment with respect to such Primary Capital Account Sub-Account theretofore sold,
Deemed Realized, distributed or otherwise disposed of (in whole or in part) and (z) the
Remaining Side-Pocket Priority Return with respect to any other such Remaining Side-Pocket
Investment accrued through the date such SPA Net Realized Income is received. A Remaining
Side-Pocket Incentive Allocation shall only be made to the extent that it does not reduce the
SPA Net Realized Income to an amount less than such return. g as a result of the application
of the preceding sentence, the General Partner is allocated less than the aggregate Remaining
Side-Pocket Incentive Allocation than would otherwise be due, future Remaining Side-Pocket
Incentive Allocations with respect to such withdrawn Primary Capital Account Sub-Account
shall be increased by the amount of such deficiency (provided that such increase does not result
in the Partner with respect to which such withdrawn Primary Capital Account Sub-Account was
maintained receiving less than the amount specified in the preceding sentence). The provisions
of this Sec. 4.06(dXii) shall not apply to Class B Limited Partners.
(iii)
If at the time any Remaining Side-Pocket Incentive
Allocation is made, (x) the aggregate Carrying Value (without giving effect to any Write Down)
of all Remaining Side-Pocket Investments at such time with respect to the withdrawn Primary
Capital Account Sub-Account exceeds (y) the amount by which (1) aggregate distributions to
the Partner with respect to which such withdrawn Primary Capital Account Sub-Account was
maintained from all Remaining Side-Pocket Sub-Accounts established with respect to such
withdrawn Primary Capital Account Sub-Account exceed (2) the aggregate initial Carrying
Value of the related Side-Pocket Investments and the Remaining Side Pocket Priority Return
thereon (such amount being the "RSP Cavite] Deficiency), then the General Partner shall
deposit into an escrow account established with respect to such Partner (the "RSP Escrow") an
amount of cash equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of such Remaining Side-Pocket Incentive
Allocation less any GP Tax Distribution with respect thereto and (b) the amount of such RSP
Capital Deficiency. Any such amounts so deposited shall be deemed a related Clawback
Reserve Account. The provisions of this Sec. 4.06(dXill) shall not apply to Class B Limited
Partners.
(iv)
If the balance of the RSP Escrow with respect to a Partner
at any time exceeds the amount of the RSP Capital Deficiency at such time, an amount equal to
such excess shall be released from the RSP Escrow (and debited to the related Clawback
Reserve Account) and distributed to the General Partner or, if not distributed, debited to the
related Clawback Reserve Account and credited to the Vested Incentive Account. Upon the
sale, Deemed Realization, distribution to Partners or other disposition of the final Remaining
Side-Pocket Investment with respect to such withdrawn Primary Capital Account Sub-Account,
(x) an amount equal to the lesser of the balance of the RSP Escrow and the RSP Capital
Deficiency shall be promptly distributed from the RSP Escrow to the Partner with respect to
which such Primary Capital Account Sub-Account was maintained and (y) the balance, if any,
of the RSP Escrow shall at the General Partner's election, either be distributed to the General
Partner or credited to the Vested Incentive Account. The provisions of this Sec. 4.06(d)(iv)
shall not apply to Class B Limited Partners.

Sec. 4.07 Valuation of Assets.
(a) (i) Securities that are listed on a national securities exchange shall be
valued at their last sales prices on the date of determination on the largest securities exchange
(by trading volume in such Security) on which such securities shall have traded on such date, or
if trading in such Securities on the largest securities exchange (by trading volume in such
Security) on which such Securities shall have traded on such date was reported on the
consolidated tape, their last sales price on the consolidated tape (or, in the event that the date of
determination is not a date upon which a securities exchange was open for trading, on the last
prior date on which such securities exchange was so open not more than 10 days prior to the
date of determination). If no such sales of such Securities occurred on either of the foregoing
dates, such Securities shall be valued at the "bid" price for long positions and "asked" price for
short positions on the largest securities exchange (by trading volume in such Security) on which
such Securities are traded, on the date of determination, or, if "bid" prices for long positions and
"asked" prices for short positions in such Securities on the largest securities exchange (by
trading volume in such Security) on which such Securities shall have traded on such date was
reported on the consolidated tape, the "bid" price for long positions and "asked" price for short
positions on the consolidated tape (or, if the date of determination is not a date upon which such
securities exchange was open for trading, on the last prior date on which such a securities
exchange was so open not more than 10 days prior to the date of determination). Securities that
are not listed on an exchange but are traded over-the-counter shall be valued at representative
"bid" quotations if held long by the Partnership and representative "asked" quotations if held
short by the Partnership, unless included in the NASDAQ National Market System, in which
case they shall be valued based upon their last sales prices (if such prices are available).
Options that are listed on a securities exchange shall be valued at their last sales prices on the
date of determination on the largest securities exchange (by trading volume) on which such
options shall have traded on such date; provided, that, if the last sales prices of such options do
not fall between the last "bid" and "asked" prices for such options on such date, then the General
Partner shall value such options at the mean between the last "bid" and "asked" prices for such
options on such date. Securities not denominated in U.S. dollars shall be translated into U.S.
dollars at prevailing exchange rates as the General Partner may reasonably determine.
(ii)
Side-Pocket Investments will be valued at their Carrying
Value.
(iii)
Securities for which no such market prices are available
shall be valued at such value as the General Partner may reasonably determine.
(b) All other assets of the Partnership (except goodwill, which shall not
be taken into account) shall be assigned such value as the General Partner may reasonably
determine.
(c) If the General Partner determines that the valuation of any Securities
pursuant to Sec. 4.07(a)(i), or the valuation pursuant to Sec. 4.07(aXii) of any Side-Pocket
Investment Deemed ReglirM does not fairly represent market value, the General Partner may
value such Securities as it reasonably determines and shall set forth the basis of such valuation
in writing in the Partnership's records.

EFTA00310604
(d) All values assigned to Securities and other assets by the General
Partner pursuant to this Sec. 4.07 shall be final and conclusive as to all of the Partners.
Sec. 4.08 Liabilities. Liabilities shall be determined using generally accepted
accounting principles, as a guideline, and the General Partner in its discretion may provide
reserves for estimated accrued expenses, liabilities or contingencies, including general reserves for
unspecified contingencies (even if such reserves are not in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles). Any such reserve shall be deemed an expense of the Partnership in the
Accounting Period in which such reserve is established.
Sec. 4.09 Allocation for Tax Purposes. For each fiscal year, items of income,
deduction, gain, loss or credit shall be allocated for income tax purposes among the Partners in
such manner as to reflect equitably amounts credited or debited to each Partner's Total Capital

Sec. 4.09 shall be made pursuant to the principles of Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code, and
in conformity with Regulations Sections 1.704-1(bX2Xiv)(0, 1.704-1(bX4Xi) and 1.704-3(e), as

income as shall be necessary to satisfy the "qualified income offset" requirement of Regulations
Section 1.704-1(bX2XiiXd).
If the Partnership realizes capital gains (including short-ter► capital gains) for
Federal income tax purposes ("gains") for any fiscal year during or as of the end of which one
or more Positive Basis Partners withdraw from the Partnership pursuant to Articles V or VII, the
General Partner may elect to allocate such gains as follows: (i) to allocate such gains among
such Positive Basis Partners, gro rata in proportion to the respective Positive Basis of each such
Positive Basis Partner, until either the full amount of such gains shall have been so allocated or
the Positive Basis of each such Positive Basis Partner shall have been eliminated, and (ii) to
allocate any gains not so allocated to Positive Basis Partners to the other Partners in such
manner as shall equitably reflect the amounts credited to such Partners' Total Capital Accounts
pursuant to Secs. 4.04 and 4.06.
As used herein, (i) the term "Positive Bathe shall mean, with respect to any
Partner and as of any time of calculation, the amount by which its interest in the Partnership (the
amount that • such Partner (or former Partner) would have received (or in fact did receive)
pursuant to the terms and provisions of Article V upon withdrawal from the Partnership as of
the end of such Accounting Period but without taking into account such Partner's Side-Pocket
Sub-Accounts, if any) as of such time exceeds its "adjusted tax basis," for Federal income tax
purposes, in its interest in the Partnership as of such time (exclusive of its allocable share, as
determined by the General Partner in its discretion, of the Partnership's tax basis in security
positions held in Side Pocket Accounts, if any, and determined without regard to any
adjustments made to such "adjusted tax basis" by reason of any transfer or assignment of such
interest, including by reason of death and without regard to such Partner's share of the liabilities
of the Partnership under Section 752 of the Code), and (ii) the term "Positive Basis Partner"
shall mean any Partner who withdraws from the Partnership and who has Positive Basis as of
the effective date of its withdrawal, but such Partner shall cease to be a Positive Basis Partner at

such time as he or it shall have received allocations pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding
sentence equal to its Positive Basis as of the effective date of its withdrawal.
Sec. 4.10 Adjustments to Take Account of Interim Year Events and Capital
Account Reallocations. If the Code or the Regulations require a withholding or other adjustment
to the Primary Capital Account of a Partner or some other interim year event or Primary Capital
Account reallocation under this Agreement occurs, necessitating in the General Partner's
judgment an equitable adjustment, the General Partner shall make such adjustments in the
determination and allocation among the Partners of PCA Net Capital Appreciation, PCA Net
Capital Depreciation, SPA Net Realized Income or Loss, Primary Capital Accounts, PCA
Participating Percentages, Incentive Allocation, Management Fee, Clawback, Priority Return,
Loss Recovery Accounts, Side-Pocket Participating Percentages, items of income, deduction,
gain, loss, credit or withholding for tax purposes, accounting procedures or such other financial or
tax items as shall equitably take into account such interim year event, Primary Capital Account
reallocation and applicable provisions of law, and the determination thereof by the General
Partner shall be final and conclusive as to all of the Partners.

Withdrawals and Distributions; Death and Disability
Sec. 5.01 Withdrawals and Distributions in General. No Partner shall be entitled
(i) to receive distributions from the Partnership, except as provided in Secs. 5.06 and 5.07; or (ii)
to withdraw any amount from a Primary Capital Account, except as provided in Secs. 5.02 and
5.03 or upon the consent o4 and upon such terms as may be determined by, the General Partner in
its discretion.
Sec. 5.02 Withdrawals.
(a) A Limited Partner may not withdraw any or all of the balance in any
of its Primary Capital Account Sub-Accounts (except pursuant to Sec. 5.03) until the end of the
current Lock-Up Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that a Limited Partner shall be
permitted to receive Tax Distributions pursuant to Sec. 5.07. A Limited Partner shall have the
right, at the end of a Primary Capital Account Sub-Account's Lock-Up Period, to withdraw all
or any portion of the balance in such Primary Capital Account Sub-Account as of the end of the
fiscal year then ended (the "Withdrawal Date"); provided, however, that the Limited Partner
must give written notice thereof to the General Partner at least 90 days prior to the Withdrawal
Date. Payment of the amount withdrawn shall be made within 30 days of the Withdrawal Date;
provided, however, that if a Limited Partner elects to withdraw more than 90% of its Primary
Capital Account, the Partnership shall pay the Limited Partner an amount equal to at least 90%
of its estimated withdrawal proceeds (on the basis of unaudited data) as of the Withdrawal Date
within 30 days after the Withdrawal Date. The Partnership will pay such Partner interest on the
balance of its withdrawal from the Withdrawal Date at the Priority Rate, and such balance,
together with all interest earned thereon, shall be paid (subject to audit adjustments) within 30
days after completion of the audit of the Partnership's books for the year in which such
withdrawal occurs. Capital shall be withdrawn from a Limited Partner's Primary Capital
425337.28
- 32 -
EFTA00310606
Account Sub-Accounts in the order in which the Capital Contributions forming the basis of such
Primary Capital Account Sub-Accounts were made.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that withdrawal requests
with respect to any Withdrawal Date would give rise to withdrawal proceeds being payable by
the Partnership in an amount that exceeds 10% of the net asset value of the Partnership
immediately preceding such Withdrawal Date, then the General Partner may, in its discretion,
limit withdrawals as described in the remainder of this Sec. 5.02(b). The General Partner may
so limit withdrawals by reducing pro rata the amount of withdrawal requests by Consenting
Limited Partners and Limited Partners admitted to the Partnership on or after March 1, 2002 in
the proportion that (x) the amount that any such Limited Partner requests to be withdrawn on
such Withdrawal Date has to (y) the amount that all such Limited Partners request to be
withdrawn on such Withdrawal Date, until the total amount of withdrawal proceeds payable by
the Partnership with respect to such Withdrawal Date is less than or equal to 10% of the net
asset value of the Partnership immediately preceding such Withdrawal Date or, if such result is
not possible, so that such percentage is as close to 10% as can be achieved by limiting the
amount of such withdrawals to zero. Any such withdrawal requests that are limited in the
manner described in the preceding sentence shall be satisfied on the following quarter-end,
subject to the same limitation; provided, however, that if any such Limited Partner's withdrawal
request is so limited on three consecutive quarter-ends, then such Limited Partner's withdrawal
request shall not be subject to any further limitation pursuant to this Sec. 5.02(b), and shall be
fully paid on the next succeeding quarter-end. Any capital the withdrawal of which is limited
pursuant to this Sec. 5.02(b) shall remain invested in the Partnership, and shall remain subject to
adjustment for capital appreciation and capital depreciation, until withdrawal.
(c) The General Partner may make withdrawals from any of its Primary
Capital Accounts, other than its Vested Incentive Account and any Clawback Reserve Account,
only at the expiration of the applicable Lock-Up Period (subject to the remainder of this Sec.
5.02(c)). The General Partner may make withdrawals from its Vested Incentive Account at the
end of any fiscal year in any amount. The General Partner may not make any withdrawal from
its Clawback Reserve Account The General Partner may receive a Tax Distribution from each
of its Primary Capital Accounts pursuant to Sec. 5.07.
(d) Withholding
(i) Notwithstanding
any
provision
of this
Agreement to the contrary, the General Partner shall withhold and pay over to the Internal
Revenue Service, pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445 or 1446 of the Code, or any successor
provisions, at such times as required by such Sections, such amounts as the Partnership is
required to withhold under such Sections, as from time to time are in effect To the extent that a
foreign Limited Partner claims to be entitled to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, U.S.
withholding tax pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty, or otherwise, the foreign Limited
Partner shall furnish the General Partner with such information and forms as such foreign
Limited Partner may be required to complete where necessary to comply with any and all laws
and regulations governing the obligations of withholding tax agents. Each foreign Limited
Partner represents and warrants that any such information and forms furnished by such foreign
Limited Partner shall be true and accurate and agrees to indemnify the Partnership and each of
the Limited Partners from any and all damages, costs and expenses resulting from the filing of
inaccurate or incomplete information or forms relating to such withholding taxes.

-33-
EFTA00310607
(ii)
Any amount of withholding taxes withheld and paid over
by the General Partner with respect to a foreign limited Partner's distributive share of the
Partnership's gross income, income or gain shall be treated as a distribution to such foreign
Limited Partner and shall be charged against a Primary Capital Account of such foreign Limited
Partner (and if there is no Primary Capital Account or the balance in the Primary Capital
Account is less than such amount, then such foreign Limited Partner shall be obligated to
contribute such amount to the Partnership and if such amount is not contributed, the proceeds of
any Side-Pocket Sub-Account of such Partner shall be reduced by such amount).
Sec. 5.03 Special Withdrawal Right Any Limited Partner may withdraw from
the Partnership if (x) the General Partner is removed pursuant to Sec. 3.09 and a replacement
General Partner has been designated pursuant to such section or (y) the Managing Member

perform his functions as managing member of the General Partner for 90 consecutive days),
(iii) ceases to Control the General Partner or (iv) ceases to spend a substantial portion of his
business time on the activities of the General Partner. Such special withdrawal right is exercisable
by delivery of a written withdrawal notice to the Partnership no later than the 30th day (the
"Notice Date") after the Limited Partners are notified of any of the events described in the
previous sentence (which notification shall be given promptly by the General Partner), and such
withdrawal shall be effective at the end of the first full calendar month after the Notice Date. A
Limited Partner exercising such special withdrawal right will be paid 90% of the aggregate
balance of its Primary Capital Account(s) (determined as of the withdrawal date) within 30 days
of the withdrawal date. The balance of such Limited Partner's Primary Capital Account(s) will be
paid (subject to audit adjustments and with interest as provided in Sec. 5.02(a)) within 30 days
after completion of a special audit of the Partnership as of the withdrawal date. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the General Partner may delay all or any portion of a distribution in respect of a
withdrawal pursuant to this Sec. 5.03 in order to effect an orderly liquidation of the Partnership's
assets. The withdrawing Partner's interest in any Side-Pocket Account will be retained and
distributed as described in Sec. 5.08.
Sec. 5.04 Required Withdrawals. The General Partner may, in its sole discretion,
terminate the interest of any Limited Partner in the Partnership at the end of any fiscal quarter
upon at least 30 days' prior written notice. In addition, the General Partner may terminate the
interest of any Limited Partner in the Partnership immediately if the General Partner determines
that such Partner's continued participation in the Partnership would cause the Partnership to fail to
qualify for the safe harbor from publicly traded partnership status set forth in Regulations
Section 1.7704-1(h). The Partner receiving such notice shall be treated for all purposes and in all
respects as a Partner who has given notice of withdrawal of all of its Primary Capital Account
under Sec 5.02.

(a) The death, disability, incapacity, adjudication of incompetency,
termination, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of a Limited Partner shall not dissolve the

shall not be admitted as a substituted partner without the consent of the General Partner, in its
sole discretion.

termination, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of a. Limited Partner, unless the legal
representatives of such Limited Partner notify the General Partner prior to the end of the
Lock-Up Period during which such event occurred that they do not wish to make such
withdrawal, such Limited Partner shall be deemed to have given a timely notice of the complete
withdrawal of the balance of its Primary Capital Account(s) pursuant to Sec. 5.02 and each
Primary Capital Account of such Limited Partner shall continue at the risk of the Partnership
business until the last day of the applicable Lock-Up Period or the earlier termination of the
Partnership. If the Partnership is continued after such fiscal year, payment of the withdrawing
Limited Partner's Primary Capital Account shall be made on the same terms, and shall be
subject to the same conditions, as set forth in Sec. 5.02(a) in respect of a withdrawal by a
Limited Partner of all of its Primary Capital Account.

Participating Percentages (or in the case of a distribution-in-kind of a Side-Pocket Investment,

national securities exchange or quoted on a United States national automated inter-dealer
quotation system.
(b) If a distribution is made in kind (other than a distribution of a Side-
Pocket Investment), immediately prior to such distribution, the General Partner shall determine
the Value of the property distributed and adjust the Primary Capital Accounts of all Partners
upwards or downwards to reflect the difference between the book value and the Value thereof,
as if such gain or loss had been recognized upon an actual sale of such property and allocated
pursuant to Sec. 4.04. Each such distribution shall reduce the Primary Capital Account to the
distributee Partner by the Value thereof If a Side-Pocket Investment is distributed in kind, it
shall first be Deemed Realized (and the Primary Capital Accounts of the Participating Partners
shall be adjusted pursuant to Sec. 4.06) and then distributed to the Participating Partners
(resulting in the additional adjustments described in the preceding sentence).

Partner's withdrawal was the last day of a fiscal year.

12 C.F.R. § 225.2(q)(2), including those matters which may "significantly and adversely" affect
the BHC Limited Partner such as revisions to this Agreement or modification of the terms of its
interests, but shall not be permitted to vote on the selection of any successor General Partner, and
provided that each BHC Limited Partner irrevocably waives its right to vote its Non-Voting
Interest on the selection of a successor General Partner under Section 17-801 of the Act, which
waiver shall be binding upon such BHC Limited Partner or any person or entity that suerteils to
its interest in the Partnership. To the extent permitted by the Act, and except as otherwise
provided in this Sec. 9.04, Non-Voting Interests shall not be counted as interests in the Partnership
held by any Limited Partner for purposes of determining whether any vote or consent required by
this Agreement has been approved or given by the requisite percentage of the Limited Partners.
Any BHC Limited Partner may elect not to be treated as a BHC Limited Partner by executing an
Opt-Out Election. My Opt-Out Election made by a BHC Limited Partner may be rescinded at
any time by providing written notice thereof to the General Partner. Except as provided in this
Sec. 9.04, an interest in the Partnership that is held as a Non-Voting Interest will be identical in all
regards to all other interests in the Partnership held by Limited Partners.
Sec. 9.05 Choice of Law. Notwithstanding the place where this Agreement may
be executed by any of the parties thereto, the parties expressly agree that all the terms and
provisions hereof shall be construed under the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to
contracts made and to be entirely performed in such state and, without limitation thereof, that the
Act as now adopted or as may be hereafter amended shall govern the partnership aspects of this
Agreement.

distribution of Partnership property to a Partner or an assignment or other transfer (including by
reason of death) of all or part of the interest of a Limited Partner in the Partnership, at the request
of a Partner, the General Partner, in his discretion, may cause the Partnership to elect, pursuant to
Section 754 of the Code, or the corresponding provision of subsequent law, to adjust the basis of
the Partnership property as provided by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code.
Sec. 9.07 No Third Party Rights. Except for the provisions of Sec. 3.05, the
provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of Sec. 2.04 and Sec.
4.02, are not intended to be for the benefit of any creditor or other Person (other than the Partners
in their capacities as such) to whom any debts, liabilities or obligations are owed by (or who
otherwise have a claim against or dealings with) the Partnership or any Partner, and no such
creditor or other Person shall obtain any rights under any of such provisions (whether as a third

at the address set forth on the books and records of the Partnership. Any Partner may designate a

Partnership, which shall belong exclusively to the General Partner.
