			(c)      Adjustments.  The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6.1(b).

			(a)      For United States federal, state and local income tax purposes, Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or any item thereof) for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated to and among the Partners in order to reflect the allocations of Capital Investment Profit, Operating Profit, Capital Investment Loss and Operating Loss pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4 for such Fiscal Year, taking into account any variation between the adjusted tax basis and book value of Partnership property in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code.
		

		
			(b)      If any Partners are treated for United States federal income tax purposes as realizing ordinary income because of receiving interests in the Partnership (whether under Section 83 of the Code or under any similar provision of any law, rule or regulation) and the Partnership is entitled to any offsetting deduction (net of any income realized by the Partnership as a result of such receipt), the Partnership’s net deduction shall be allocated to and among the Partners in such manner as to offset, as nearly as possible, the ordinary income realized by such Partners.
		

		
			(c)      By executing this Agreement, each Limited Partner authorizes and directs the Partnership to elect to have the “Safe Harbor” described in the proposed Revenue Procedure set forth in Internal Revenue Code Notice 2005-43 (the “IRS Notice”) apply to any interest in the Partnership issued or transferred by the Partnership on or after the effective date of such Revenue Procedure.  For purposes of making such Safe Harbor election, the Designated Partner is hereby designated as the “partner who has responsibility for federal income tax reporting” by the Partnership and, accordingly, execution of such Safe Harbor election by the Designated Partner or the General Partner constitutes execution of a “Safe Harbor Election” in accordance with Section 3.03(1) of the IRS Notice.  The Partnership and each Limited Partner hereby agree to comply with all requirements of the Safe Harbor described in the IRS Notice, including, without limitation, the requirement that each Limited Partner shall prepare and file all U.S. federal income tax returns reporting the income tax effects of each “Safe Harbor Partnership Interest” issued by the Partnership in a manner consistent with the requirements of the IRS Notice.  A Limited Partner’s obligations to comply with the requirements of this Section 3.5(c) shall survive such Limited Partner’s ceasing to be a Limited Partner of the Partnership and/or the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Partnership, and, for purposes of this Section 3.5(c), the Partnership shall be treated as continuing in existence.  Each Limited Partner authorizes the General Partner to amend this Section 3.5(c) to the extent necessary to achieve substantially the same tax treatment with respect to any interest in the Partnership transferred or issued by the Partnership as set forth in the IRS Notice (e.g., to reflect changes from the rules set forth in the IRS Notice in subsequent Internal Revenue Service guidance); provided that such amendment is not materially adverse to such Limited Partner.
		

		
			(d)      The provisions of this Section 3.5 shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6.1(b).  
		

		
			3.6       Reserves; Adjustments for Certain Future Events
		

		
			(a)      Appropriate reserves may be created, accrued and charged against the Carried Interest for contingent liabilities, if any, as of the date any such contingent liability becomes known to the General Partner or as of each other date as the General Partner in its sole discretion deems appropriate, such reserves to be in the amounts which the General Partner in its sole discretion deems necessary or appropriate.  The General Partner may increase or reduce any such reserve from time to time by such amounts as the General Partner in its sole discretion deems necessary or appropriate.  The amount of any such reserve, or any increase or decrease therein, shall be proportionately charged or credited, as appropriate, to the Partners in proportion to their relative interests in such reserve to reflect the intent for which the reserve was created.

			(b)      If any amount is required by paragraph (a) of this Section 3.6 to be credited to a Person who is no longer a Partner, such amount shall be paid to such Person in cash, with interest from the date on which the General Partner determines that such credit is required at the Reference Rate in effect on that date.  Any amount required to be charged pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 3.6 shall be debited against the current balance in the Capital Account of the affected Partners.  To the extent that the aggregate current Capital Account balances of such affected Partners are insufficient to cover the full amount of the required charge, the deficiency shall be debited against the Capital Accounts of the other Partners in proportion to their respective Capital Account balances at such time; provided, however, that each such other Partner shall be entitled to a preferential allocation, in proportion to and to the extent of such other Partner’s share of any such deficiency, together with a carrying charge at a rate equal to the Reference Rate, of any Operating Profit that would otherwise have been allocable after the date of such charge to the Capital Accounts of the affected Partners whose Capital Accounts were insufficient to cover the full amount of the required charge.  In no event shall a current or former Partner be obligated to satisfy any amount required to be charged pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 3.6 other than by means of a debit against such Partner’s Capital Account.
		

		
			3.7       Finality and Binding Effect of the General Partner’s Determinations

			(c)      Tax distributions made to the Fund GP and thereafter to the Partnership pursuant to the Fund Agreement shall be distributed to the Partners based on each Partner’s allocable share of the income which gave rise to such tax distributions.  Any tax distributions made to the Partnership pursuant to the Fund Agreement and distributed to the Partners in respect of the Partnership’s capital contributions (indirectly through the Fund GP) to the Fund shall be treated as an advance against distributions to which the Partners would otherwise be entitled to under Section 4.1(a)(i).  Any tax distributions made to the Partnership pursuant to the Fund Agreement and distributed to the Partners in respect of the Partnership’s Carried Interest in the Fund shall be treated as an advance against distributions to which the Partners would otherwise be entitled under Section 4.1(a)(ii) or 4.1(a)(iii), as applicable.

			4.2       Withholding of Certain Amounts

If the amount of such taxes is greater than any such then distributable amounts, then such Partner and any successor to such Partner’s interest shall indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership and the General Partner against, and shall pay to the Partnership as a contribution to the capital of the Partnership, upon demand of the General Partner, the amount of such excess.
		

		
			(b)      The General Partner may withhold in its discretion from any distribution to any Partner pursuant to this Agreement any other amounts due from such Partner to the Partnership, the General Partner or their respective Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or the governing documents of any other Relevant Entity to the extent not otherwise paid.  Any amounts so withheld shall be applied by the General Partner to discharge the obligation in respect of which such amounts were withheld.
		

		
			4.3       Limitation on Distributions
		

		
			Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Partnership, and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, shall not make a distribution to any Partner on account of its interest in the Partnership if such distribution would not be permitted under the [] Law or any other applicable law.

In any such suit brought to enforce a right to indemnification or to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified, or to an advancement of expenses, hereunder shall be on the Partnership (or any Limited Partner acting derivatively or otherwise on behalf of the Partnership or the Limited Partners).  The General Partner may not satisfy any right of indemnity or reimbursement granted in this Section 5.7 or to which it may be otherwise entitled except out of the assets of the Partnership, and no Limited Partner shall be personally liable with respect to any such claim for indemnity or reimbursement.  The General Partner on behalf of the Partnership may enter into appropriate deed poll, indemnification agreements and/or arrangements reflective of the provisions of this Article V and obtain appropriate insurance at the expense of the Partnership to secure the Partnership’s obligations hereunder.  
		

		
			(c)      To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or the Limited Partners, a Covered Person shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Limited Partner for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.  The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Limited Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of each such Covered Person.  Notwithstanding anything else herein, nothing contained in this paragraph or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed as relieving any person for any liability (including liability under applicable U.S. federal securities laws which, under certain circumstances, impose liability even on persons that act in good faith), to the extent that such liability may not be waived under, or such indemnification would be in violation of, applicable law.
		

		
			(d)      The General Partner may make, execute, record and file on its own behalf and on behalf of the Partnership all instruments and other documents that the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate in order to extend the benefit of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement to the Covered Persons; provided, that, such other instruments and documents authorized hereunder shall be on the same terms as provided for in this Agreement except as otherwise may be required by applicable law.

			ADMISSIONS, TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS 
		

		
			6.1       Admission of Additional Partners; Increased Points
		

		
			(a)      The General Partner may at any time admit as an additional Limited Partner any Person who has agreed to be bound by this Agreement, assign Points and Capital Investment Shares to such Limited Partner and/or increase the Points of any existing Limited Partner.  Each additional Limited Partner shall execute (directly or by power of attorney) a counterpart to this Agreement, a Supplemental Agreement, a Guarantee or a separate instrument evidencing, to the satisfaction of the General Partner, such Limited Partner’s intent to be bound by this Agreement as, and become, a Limited Partner.  In connection with such admission or increase in Points of any Limited Partner, the Points of the other Limited Partners (other than any Limited Partner having [] or fewer Points) shall be reduced in accordance with Schedule A annexed hereto.
		

		
			(b)      In connection with the admission of an additional Limited Partner or an increase in Points of any Limited Partner (other than pursuant to Section 7.3), the General Partner may make adjustments to the provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, the adjustments set forth in this Section 6.1, in order to ensure that the Points allocated to such Limited Partner on the date of such admission or increase, as applicable, shall be a “profits interest” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  Such determinations shall be set forth in such Limited Partner’s Supplemental Agreement (or separate instrument) executed in connection with such admission or increase, as applicable.  In furtherance of such intent, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary:
		

		
			(i)      no items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be allocated to such Limited Partner in respect of such Limited Partner’s Points (or in the case of an increase in Points of an existing Limited Partner, such Limited Partner’s additional Points) to the extent such items relate to any unrealized income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Partnership as of the date of such admission or increase, as applicable;
		

		
			(ii)      subject to (i) above and to the extent set forth in such Limited Partner’s Supplemental Agreement (or separate instrument), items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated among the Limited Partners in the amounts and proportions necessary to ensure, as promptly as possible and to the maximum extent feasible, that such Limited Partner is allocated a cumulative amount of income and gain, net of loss, deduction and credit, in respect of such Limited Partner’s Points (or in the case of an increase in Points of an existing Limited Partner, such Limited Partner’s additional Points) equal to the cumulative amount of income and gain, net of loss, deduction and credit, that would have been allocated to such Limited Partner but for the provisions of clause (i); provided, that, such Limited Partner’s rights to any allocations are subject to such other restrictions or limitations as may be set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 7.3);
		

		
			(iii)      distributions by the Partnership to such Limited Partner in respect of such Limited Partner’s Points (or in the case of an increase in Points of an existing Limited Partner, such Limited Partner’s additional Points) shall be limited to the minimum extent necessary to be consistent with the treatment of such Points as a profits interest, provided, that to the extent set forth in such Limited Partner’s Supplemental Agreement (or separate instrument), if any distributions in respect of Points are foregone by such Limited Partner as a result of such limitation, subsequent “catch-up” distributions out of appreciation of assets after the date of such admission or increase, as applicable, shall be made in respect of such Points as necessary so that, on a cumulative basis, the distributions by the Partnership in respect of such Limited Partner’s Points (or in the case of an increase in Points of an existing Limited Partner,

			such Limited Partner’s additional Points) are the same as the amounts that would have been distributed had such Points not been treated as a profits interest, provided further, that, such Limited Partner’s rights to any distributions are subject to such other restrictions or limitations as may be set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 7.3); and 
		

		
			(iv)      the General Partner shall consult with the Partnership’s legal and tax advisors to determine the manner in which allocations and distributions should be made by the Partnership in respect of such Limited Partner’s Points, and absent manifest error, the General Partner’s determination shall be final and binding on all parties.  The General Partner is authorized to interpret and apply the provisions of this Section 6.1 and the other provisions of this Agreement in such manner as it, in its sole discretion, determines is most likely to implement the intent of the Limited Partners as set forth in this Section 6.1.
		

		
			6.2       Transfer of Interests of Limited Partners
		

		
			(a)       Subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Section 6.2, a Limited Partner may Transfer to another person eligible to become a Limited Partner as determined by the General Partner, to any other Limited Partner or to any Related Party of such Limited Partner all or any portion of such Limited Partner’s rights to share in and receive allocations and distributions associated with such Limited Partner’s Capital Investment Shares and Points.  No other Transfer of any Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be valid or effective, and no transferee shall become a substituted Limited Partner, unless the prior written consent of the General Partner has been obtained, which consent may be withheld at the absolute discretion of the General Partner.  In the event of any Transfer, all of the conditions of the remainder of this Section 6.2 must also be satisfied.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the General Partner shall be permitted, without any action or consent of any other Person being required, to Transfer all or any portion of its interest as the general partner of the Partnership to any Affiliate and, subject to Section 9.1, to amend this Agreement in any manner to effectuate such Transfer. 
		

		
			(b)       No Transfer of any Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be valid or effective unless the General Partner determines that such transfer will not:
		

		
			(i)      require registration of the Partnership or any interest therein under any securities, investment company, investment advisory or commodities laws of any jurisdiction;
		

		
			(ii)      result in a termination of the Partnership under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code or jeopardize the status of the Partnership as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes; or
		

		
			(iii)      violate, or cause the Partnership, the General Partner, the Fund GP or any Limited Partner to violate, any applicable law or regulation of any jurisdiction or any provisions of this Agreement or the Fund Agreement.
		

		
			The transferring Limited Partner, or its legal representative, shall give the General Partner written notice before making any voluntary Transfer and within 30 days after any involuntary Transfer and shall provide sufficient information to allow the Partnership (or legal counsel acting for the Partnership) to make the determination that the proposed Transfer will not result in any of the consequences referred to above.  The notice and transfer must be supported by proof of legal authority and a valid instrument of assignment acceptable to the General Partner.
		

		
			(c)       In the event any Transfer permitted by this Section 6.2 shall result in multiple ownership of any Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership, the General Partner may require one or more trustees

			or nominees to be designated to represent a portion of the interest transferred or the entire interest transferred for the purpose of receiving all notices which may be given and all payments which may be made under this Agreement, and for the purpose of exercising the rights which the transferees have pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
		

		
			(d)      A permitted transferee shall be entitled to the allocations and distributions attributable to the interest in the Partnership Transferred to such transferee and to Transfer such interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that such transferee shall not be entitled to the other rights of a Limited Partner as a result of such Transfer until it becomes a substituted Limited Partner.  No transferee may become a substituted Limited Partner except with the consent of the General Partner (which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion).  Such transferee shall be admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner upon execution of a Supplemental Agreement or such other instrument evidencing, to the satisfaction of the General Partner, such Limited Partner’s intent to become a substituted Limited Partner and to be bound by all the terms of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the above, the Partnership and the General Partner shall incur no liability for allocations and distributions made in good faith to the transferring Limited Partner until a written instrument of Transfer has been received and accepted by the Partnership and recorded on its books and the effective date of the Transfer has passed.
		

		
			(e)      Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any successor or transferee of any Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership shall be bound by the provisions hereof.  Prior to recognizing any Transfer in accordance with this Section 6.2, the General Partner may require the transferor and transferee to make certain representations and warranties to the Partnership and Limited Partners and to accept, adopt and approve in writing all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
		

		
			(f)      In the event of a Transfer or in the event of a distribution of assets of the Partnership to any Limited Partner, the Partnership, in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner or the Designated Partner, may, but shall not be required to, file an election under Section 754 of the Code and in accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations, to cause the basis of the Partnership’s assets to be adjusted as provided by Section 734 or 743 of the Code.
		

		
			6.3       Withdrawal of Partners
		

		
			A Limited Partner in the Partnership may not withdraw from the Partnership prior to its dissolution without the prior written consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld at the absolute discretion of the General Partner.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Limited Partner who Transfers to a Related Party such Limited Partner’s entire remaining entitlement to allocations and distributions shall remain a Limited Partner, notwithstanding the admission of the transferee Related Party as a Limited Partner, for as long as the transferee Related Party remains a Limited Partner.
		

		
			6.4       Pledges
		

		
			(a)      A Limited Partner shall not pledge or grant a security interest in such Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership unless the prior written consent of the General Partner has been obtained, which consent may be withheld at the absolute discretion of the General Partner.
		

		
			(b)      For purposes of the grant, pledge, attachment or perfection of a security interest in an interest in the Partnership, interests in the Partnership shall be deemed to be “securities” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(15) and as provided by Section 8-103(c) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware or analogous provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any other jurisdiction.

			shall be given within a reasonable period not exceeding ten (10) days following notice of the proposed mandatory Retirement.  
		

		
			(d)        Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the General Partner to treat Retired Partners alike, and the exercise of any power or discretion by the General Partner in the case of any one such Retired Partner shall not create any obligation on the part of the General Partner to take any similar action in the case of any other such Retired Partner, it being understood that any power or discretion conferred upon the General Partner shall be treated as having been so conferred as to each such Retired Partner separately.
		

		
			(e)        Upon Retirement of a Limited Partner, all Related Parties of such Limited Partner shall also be deemed to become Retired Partners simultaneous with such Retiring Partner, and their interest in the Partnership shall be treated in the same manner as such Retired Partner.

Any such reduction shall be effective as of the date such Limited Partner became a Retired Partner or such subsequent date or dates as may be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner.

			(iv)      any deeds, agreements, instruments or other documents whatsoever in connection with the admission or withdrawal of any Partner in accordance with this Agreement or the transfer of any interest in the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement.

			9.4       Entire Agreement
		

		
			This Agreement and the Supplemental Agreements of each Limited Partner constitute the entire agreement among the Partners and between the Limited Partners and the General Partner with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any prior agreement or understanding among or between them with respect to such subject matter.

			This Agreement, and the rights of the Partners hereunder, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of [].  Subject to Section 9.8, the parties hereby consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any action arising out of this Agreement in the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles, California.  Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered severable and if for any reason any provision which is not essential to the effectuation of the basic purposes of the Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable and contrary to [] law or existing or future applicable law, such invalidity shall not impair the operation of or affect those provisions of this Agreement which are valid.  In that case, this Agreement shall be construed so as to limit any term or provision so as to make it enforceable or valid within the requirements of any applicable law, and in the event such term or provision cannot be so limited, this Agreement shall be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable provisions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.5 excludes the jurisdiction of the [] courts with respect to any matter reserved to it pursuant to the [] Law or [] law generally.

			(a)       Within 30 days after (i) execution of this Agreement if a Limited Partner is subject to community property laws of any state or (ii) a Limited Partner becoming subject to community property laws of any state, such Limited Partner (if married) shall cause such Limited Partner’s spouse to execute and deliver to the Partnership a Spousal Consent and Agreement in the form of Schedule B hereto.  If such Limited Partner marries or remarries subsequent to the date of such Limited Partner’s execution of this Agreement, such Limited Partner shall within 30 days thereafter similarly cause such Limited Partner’s new spouse to execute and deliver to the Partnership such Spousal Consent and Agreement.
		

		
			(b)       If a Limited Partner’s marriage terminates by dissolution, divorce or any other proceeding and the divorced Limited Partner does not acquire or otherwise obtain or succeed to all of such Limited Partner’s spouse’s interest, if any, in the divorced Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership, the divorced Limited Partner shall promptly so notify the Partnership.
		

		
			(i)      If a divorced Limited Partner does not acquire or otherwise obtain or succeed to all of such Limited Partner’s spouse’s interest in the divorced Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership, the divorced Limited Partner shall have the option to purchase any or all of the interest in the Partnership which has been Transferred to or has otherwise vested in such Limited Partner’s spouse (the “Spouse’s Interest”) pursuant to a decree of dissolution, divorce or any other proceeding incident to the termination of the marital status (the “Divorce Decree”) or by agreement of the divorced Limited Partner and such Limited Partner’s spouse.

The purchase price for such Spouse’s Interest shall be (a) its book value if such Limited Partner has less than [] Points or (b) its appraised value as determined by a reputable accounting firm, investment bank or other qualified appraiser selected by the divorced Limited Partner and the spouse (or if they cannot agree on an appraiser within 5 business days, such appraiser as is selected by the Partnership) if such Limited Partner has [] or more Points as of the last day of the Partnership’s fiscal quarter immediately preceding the transfer of the Spouse’s Interest to the spouse of a divorced Limited Partner, payable in cash or on such other terms as may be agreed upon by the divorced Limited Partner and the spouse.  Such option shall be exercised and the purchase consummated within 30 days after the date of the entry of the Divorce Decree.

			(ii)      Should a divorced Limited Partner fail to exercise the option provided for in 9.13(b)(i) with respect to the entire Spouse’s Interest or if the purchase of the entire Spouse’s Interest is not consummated within 30 days after the date of the entry of the Divorce Decree for whatever reason: (1) the divorced Limited Partner shall promptly so notify the Partnership; and (2) the Partnership shall have the option to purchase any or all of the Spouse’s Interest which such divorced Limited Partner has failed to purchase.  Upon exercise of such option, the spouse shall sell the appropriate portion of the Spouse’s Interest to the Partnership.  The purchase price for such portion shall be same as determined under Section 9.13(b)(i) as of the last day of the Partnership’s fiscal quarter immediately preceding the transfer of the Spouse’s Interest to the spouse of a divorced Limited Partner, payable in cash or on such other terms as may be agreed upon by the Partnership and the spouse.  The Partnership’s option under this 9.13(b)(ii) shall be exercised and the purchase consummated within 30 days after the Partnership is notified pursuant to clause (1) of the first sentence of this 9.13(b)(ii) or within 30 days after such later date as is selected by the Partnership in its sole and absolute discretion.  The Partnership may assign to one or more Persons all or any portion of its rights under this 9.13(b)(ii).
		

		
			(iii)      In no event shall the possession of any Spouse’s Interest constitute the holder thereof as a Limited Partner unless and until such holder is admitted as an additional or a substitute Limited Partner pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  In the event that a spouse acquires a direct interest in the Partnership (but has not been so admitted), notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, such spouse shall have no right to participate with the Limited Partners in any votes taken or consents granted or withheld by the Limited Partners hereunder, and the divorced Limited Partner shall remain liable to the Partnership for all contributions and other amounts payable with respect to the Spouse’s Interest and for all other obligations as a Limited Partner hereunder to the same extent as if the divorced Limited Partner holds the Spouse’s Interest. 
		

		
			(iv)      Upon the purchase of all or a portion of the Spouse’s Interest in the Partnership pursuant to this 9.13, the interest and obligations in the Partnership with respect to such purchased interest (including Points) shall be allocated to the other Limited Partners in accordance with the respective Points of each such Limited Partner.

The words “include” and “including” means include without limitation or including without limitation.

Captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not define or limit any term of this Agreement. It is the intention of the parties that every covenant, term, and provision of this Agreement shall be construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any party (notwithstanding any rule of law requiring an agreement to be strictly construed against the drafting party), it being understood that the parties to this Agreement are sophisticated and have had adequate

SCHEDULE A
		

		
			PRINCIPLES APPLICABLE TO CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS IN POINTS
		

		
			A.         Sources of Points for New Partners and for Point Increases of Existing Partners
		

		
			 
		

		
			When Points are to be allocated to a new Partner or additional Points are to be allocated to an existing Partner pursuant to Section 6.1, the following principles shall apply in determining the source of such Points:
		

		
			 
		

		
			1.    If any Points have become available in connection with the Retirement of a Partner pursuant to Section 7.3(a) and such Points have not previously been allocated, such Points of the Retired Partner shall be applied before diluting the Points of any other Partner.  
		

		
			 
		

		
			2.    Thereafter, any remaining Points shall be obtained by reducing the Points of each of the Partners (together with such Partner’s Related Parties) who, at the time of the relevant admission or increase, has [] or more Points (a “[]+ Point Partner”).    
		

		
			 
		

		
			3.    Subject to the following paragraph or unless otherwise determined by the General Partner, the reductions shall be allocated among such []+ Point Partners pro rata in proportion to their respective Points. 
		

		
			 
		

		
			4.    Notwithstanding the principle set forth in the preceding paragraph, no reduction shall be made to the extent that it would cause such Partner’s Points to be reduced to less than [] Points without the consent of such Partner.  The portion of any reduction that would otherwise be allocated to such other Partner shall instead be allocated among the remaining []+ Point Partners in accordance with the principles of both paragraph 2 and this paragraph 4.  
		

		
			 
		

		
			B.         Disposition of Points Released by Retired Partners
		

		
			 
		

		
			If any Points become available in connection with the Retirement of a Partner pursuant to Section 7.3(a), such Points shall be allocated as follows:
		

		
			 
		

		
			1.     Such Points shall first be used to satisfy any known or anticipated requirements pursuant to paragraph (A)(1) above.
		

		
			 
		

		
			2.     Any remaining Points shall be allocated among the []+ Point Partners (other than Retired Partners that are []+ Point Partners) pro rata in proportion to their respective Points (first to reverse out any over reductions pursuant to paragraph 4 above, if applicable).
		

		
			 
		

		
			C.         For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that restrictions on Point dilution shall apply not only to dilution directly resulting from the award of “Points” to another Partner but also to any other transaction having substantially the same effect (such as an award of performance-based compensation or a similar profits interest that is based on all or any significant portion of the investments of the Fund).

SCHEDULE B
		

		
			 
		

		
			FORM OF 
		

		
			SPOUSAL CONSENT AND AGREEMENT
		

		
			 
		

		
			THIS SPOUSAL CONSENT AND AGREEMENT (this “Consent”) is entered into as a deed poll by the undersigned (the “Undersigned”) as the spouse of _______________________________, currently or anticipated to become a Limited Partner of [], a [] exempted limited partnership (the “Partnership”) in favor of the Partnership.  This Consent shall be effective from and after the earliest date on which the Undersigned’s spouse is or was admitted as a Limited Partner of the Partnership and may not be withdrawn or revoked by the Undersigned.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the same meaning as in the Amended and Restated Agreement of Exempted Limited Partnership of the Partnership, as amended (the “Partnership Agreement”).
		

		
			The Undersigned hereby agrees, acknowledges and understands that:
		

		
			1.      The Undersigned has been provided with the opportunity to read the Partnership Agreement and, in particular, 9.13 thereof;  
		

		
			2.      Under the provisions of 9.13(b)(i)-(iv) of the Partnership Agreement, the Undersigned shall be only an assignee (with limited rights and potentially significant obligations, including clawback obligations) following the Undersigned’s acquisition of any interest in the Partnership unless and until the Undersigned is admitted to the Partnership as a  Limited Partner pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement;
		

		
			3.      Under the provisions of Section 9.13 of the Partnership Agreement, an option is given to the Undersigned’s spouse as a Limited Partner of the Partnership to purchase any interest in the Partnership which the Undersigned may have or receive under community property laws, marital laws, or otherwise, if that purchase fails to occur in connection with such marital dissolution for any reason, the Partnership or its assignee shall have the option to purchase the Undersigned’s entire interest in the Partnership or assign such option to purchase the Undersigned’s interest in the Partnership; 
		

		
			4.      Failure by the Undersigned to execute this Consent would constitute a breach of the Partnership Agreement on the part of the Undersigned’s spouse; and
		

		
			5.      The Undersigned has had the opportunity to be represented in the execution of this Consent by legal counsel of the Undersigned’s own choosing and no legal counsel or advice has been provided to the Undersigned by, or on behalf of, the Partnership or the Undersigned’s spouse.
		

		
			The Undersigned hereby consents to the transactions contemplated by the Partnership Agreement (including, without limitation, any capital contributions to be made by the Undersigned’s spouse and any clawback obligations).  In addition, the Undersigned hereby agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Partnership Agreement specifically applicable to the Undersigned including, without limitation, 9.13 thereof.
		

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						This Consent shall be governed by the laws of [].
