ARTICLE III

Capital Contributions; Distributions

3.1. Capital Contributions. (a) Each Partner agrees to make Capital 

Contributions in cash from time to time, payable in United States dollars, in installments as 

follows: 

(i) With respect to any Capital Contribution for the making of 

Investments: At any time and from time to time on or prior to the expiration or 

termination of the Investment Period, each Partner shall, on or before any 

Payment Date, make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership equal to its Pro 

Rata Share of the aggregate amount to be contributed by all Partners for the 

acquisition of one or more Investments; provided that the expiration or 
16

termination of the Investment Period shall not affect the obligation hereunder to 

make a Capital Contribution with respect to any proposed Investment with respect 

to which the Partnership (or the General Partner or one or more of its Affiliates, 

on behalf of the Partnership) has entered into a legally binding obligation to 

acquire such Investment prior to the expiration or termination of the Investment

Period so long as such Investment is consummated within sixty (60) calendar days 

of the expiration or termination of the Investment Period.

(ii) With respect to any Capital Contribution for the payment of 

Partnership Expenses: At any time and from time to time prior to the dissolution 

of the Partnership, each Partner shall, on or before any Payment Date, make a 

Capital Contribution to the Partnership equal to its Pro Rata Share of the 

aggregate amount to be contributed by all Partners on such date for the payment

of Partnership Expenses.

(iii) With respect to any Capital Contribution for the repayment of 

Partnership Indebtedness: At any time and from time to time on or prior to the 

expiration or termination of the Investment Period (and thereafter prior to the 

dissolution of the Partnership with the prior written consent of UST), each Partner 

shall, on or before any Payment Date, make a Capital Contribution to the 

Partnership equal to its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount to be contributed 

by all Partners on such date for repayment of Partnership Indebtedness.

(iv) With respect to any Capital Contributions for maintenance of a 

Working Capital Reserve: In order to minimize the number of drawdowns 

required during the term of the Partnership, at any time and from time to time on 

or prior to the expiration or termination of the Investment Period, the General 

Partner may call and maintain a working capital reserve on behalf of Partners (the 

“Working Capital Reserve”) which will be held in the Working Capital Reserve 

Account. Each Partner shall, on any Payment Date, make a Capital Contribution 

to the Partnership equal to its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount to be 

contributed by all Partners on such date for the Working Capital Reserve. 

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Capital

Contribution to be made by any Partner towards any Investment, Partnership 

Expense or repayment of Partnership Indebtedness shall be reduced to the extent 

of such Partner’s share of the amounts in the Working Capital Reserve applied on 

behalf of such Partner against such Investment, Partnership Expense or repayment 

of Partnership Indebtedness. For purposes of this Agreement, Capital 

Contributions initially made for the Working Capital Reserve shall be treated as 

having been made for the Investment, Partnership Expense or repayment of 

Partnership Indebtedness to the extent (and only to the extent) which such 

amounts were applied for such purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, amounts in 

the Working Capital Reserve may only be applied to repay Partnership 

Indebtedness after the expiration or termination of the Investment Period with the 

prior written consent of UST. 
17

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (A) no

Partner shall be required to make Capital Contributions (which, in the case of 

UST, for purposes of this Section 3.1(a)(vi), shall be determined without regard to 

the return of Capital Contributions pursuant to a Subsequent Closing or pursuant 

to Section 3.2(b)(i)) to the Partnership in an aggregate amount greater than its 

Capital Commitment without its consent and (B) except as otherwise agreed to in 

writing by UST, each drawdown from a Partner shall be for an amount equal to at 

least the lesser of (I) any undrawn portion of such Partner’s Capital Commitment 

and (II) two and one half percent (2.5%) of such Partner’s Capital Commitment. 

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.1(a)(vi) shall not prohibit the retention 

and use by the Partnership of amounts otherwise distributable to the Partners as 

provided in Section 3.4(f).

(vii) Capital Contributions shall be made on or prior to 5:00 P.M. (New 

York time) on the applicable Payment Date.

(b) Related Definitions. (i) A “Payment Date” shall mean a date on 

which Partners are required to make Capital Contributions to the Partnership, which 

date:

(A) shall be specified in a Payment Notice delivered by the General Partner to 

each Partner from which a Capital Contribution is required on such date; and

(B) shall be at least ten (10) calendar days after the date of delivery of a Payment 

Notice or if such tenth day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day following such 

tenth day.

(ii) A “Payment Notice” shall mean a written notice requiring Capital 

Contributions to the Partnership, which notice shall be delivered to each Partner 

and shall:

(A) specify the purpose for which the Capital Contributions are required to be 

made; 

(B) specify such Partner’s Pro Rata Share of the Capital Contributions required to 

be made by the Partners (specifying, as applicable, amounts to be funded from the 

Working Capital Reserve); and

(C) be numbered incrementally. 

(iii) A Partner’s “Pro Rata Share” of the aggregate Capital Contributions 

for Investments, payment of Partnership Expenses, repayment of Partnership 

Indebtedness or funding of the Working Capital Reserve shall mean the 

percentage that such Partner’s Capital Commitment as of such date represents of 

the aggregate Capital Commitments as of such date of all Partners.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, UST 

shall not be required to make any Capital Contributions unless the Collateral 
18

Administrator shall have provided prior written notice to UST and the General 

Partner that the Partners other than UST have, in the aggregate, contributed an 

amount equal to the sum of their respective Pro Rata Shares of such Capital 

Contribution; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, 

if such notice is not provided to UST prior to 2:00pm New York time, UST shall not 

be required to make such Capital Contribution prior to the next Business Day.

(d) Capital Contributions shall be made by wire transfer of 

immediately available funds to the account set forth under “Wire Instructions” on 

Schedule A. Other than as set forth in this Agreement, no Partner shall be entitled to 

any interest or compensation by reason of its Capital Contributions or by reason of 

being a Partner. No Partner shall be required to lend any funds to the Partnership; 

provided that each Partner acknowledges that the Partnership and UST (in its capacity 

as lender) are parties to the Loan Documents.

(e) The General Partner shall cause the books and records of the 

Partnership to be amended from time to time to reflect (i) the addresses of Partners 

and any changes thereto, (ii) any transfer of Interests and (iii) any changes in Capital 

Commitments, all of which are to be accomplished in accordance with the provisions 

hereof.

(f) The Capital Commitments of the Private Vehicles will equal, in the 

aggregate, at least $500 million at the Closing; provided that in the event the General 

Partner or an Affiliate thereof sponsors a separate Initial Round PPIF, the Capital 

Commitments of the Private Vehicles will equal, in the aggregate, at least the amount 

set forth on Schedule A under the heading “Minimum Initial Commitment” at the 

Closing.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the 

Capital Commitment of UST shall at all times equal the aggregate Capital 

Commitments of the Limited Partners other than UST; provided, that the Capital 

Commitment of UST may not exceed $1,111,111,111.00 without the consent of UST 

and the General Partner; and provided, further that in the event the General Partner or 

an Affiliate thereof sponsors a separate Initial Round PPIF, the Capital Commitment 

of UST may not, without the consent of UST and the General Partner, exceed the 

amount set forth on Schedule A under the heading “Maximum UST Commitment” 

(any increase pursuant to the foregoing provisos, a “UST Reallocation”). For the 

avoidance of doubt, at no time shall the aggregate capital commitments of UST and 

loan commitments of UST (in its capacity as lender) to all Initial Round PPIFs 

(including the Partnership) exceed $30 billion. 

(h) The provisions of this Section 3.1 are intended solely to benefit the 

Partnership and the Partners and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, 

shall not be construed as conferring any benefit upon any creditor of the Partnership 

(and no such creditor shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement), and no 

Partner shall have any duty or obligation to any creditor of the Partnership to make 

any Capital Contributions or payments to the Partnership that are not required by the 
19

terms of this Agreement or to cause the General Partner to deliver to any Partner a 

Payment Notice.

3.2. Termination of Investment Period. (a) The Investment Period shall be 

terminated (i) if the General Partner is notified at any time on or after the one-year anniversary of 

the Closing Date of the written election of UST to terminate the Investment Period, (ii) if at any 

time on or after the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date the General Partner 

delivers a sworn officer’s certificate to the Limited Partners that it has determined in good faith 

that (A) there have been permanent changes in the market for Eligible Assets and (B) such 

permanent changes are such that it is no longer in the best interests of the Partners for the 

Partnership to continue to acquire Eligible Assets or (iii) if UST becomes a Defaulting Partner, 

upon written notice from the General Partner to UST stating that it has elected to terminate the 

Investment Period. 

(b) Following the expiration or termination of the Investment Period, 

the General Partner shall promptly (i) refund to the Partners any amounts remaining 

in the Working Capital Reserve and (ii) distribute any amounts retained pursuant to 

Section 3.4(f), unless the amounts provided for in clauses (i) and (ii) are required (A) 

to create reasonable reserves for Partnership Expenses (provided that such reserves 

for Partnership Expenses shall not exceed 0.10% of aggregate Capital Commitments 

without the prior written consent of UST, which consent shall not unreasonably be 

withheld), (B) with the prior written consent of UST, to create reasonable reserves for 

repayment of Partnership Indebtedness, (C) to pay Partnership Expenses accrued and 

outstanding as of the date of such expiration or termination of the Investment Period 

or (D) to complete any proposed Investment with respect to which the Partnership (or 

the General Partner or one or more of its Affiliates, on behalf of the Partnership) has 

entered into a legally binding obligation to acquire such Investment prior to the 

expiration or termination of the Investment Period so long as such Investment is 

consummated within sixty (60) calendar days following the expiration or termination 

of the Investment Period; provided that the General Partner shall promptly refund any 

unused amounts retained pursuant to this clause (D) following the expiration of such 

sixty (60) calendar day period. 

3.3. Subsequent Closings. (a) Generally. Notwithstanding any contrary

provision in this Agreement but subject to Section 3.1(g), the General Partner may, in its sole

discretion, admit additional Limited Partners, or permit any existing Partner to increase its 

Capital Commitment at up to two (2) subsequent closings on or prior to the Final Closing Date 

(each, a “Subsequent Closing”). Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, a 

Person shall be deemed admitted as an additional Limited Partner at a Subsequent Closing upon 

the execution of this Agreement or a counterpart hereof by or on behalf of such Person and 

acceptance of such subscription by the General Partner.

(b) Capital Contributions at Subsequent Closings. (i) Each Partner that is 

admitted or increases its Capital Commitment at a Subsequent Closing shall (A) make a Capital 

Contribution to the Partnership at such Subsequent Closing (or on such later date as specified by 

the General Partner) in an amount equal to the difference between (x) its Pro Rata Share 

(calculated after giving effect to such Partner’s admission or increased Capital Commitment) of 
20

(I) the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions previously made by Partners for the making of 

any Investment then still held by the Partnership, (II) the aggregate amount of Capital 

Contributions previously made by Partners for Partnership Expenses (other than Partnership 

Expenses related to an Investment that is no longer held by the Partnership) and (III) the 

aggregate amount of Capital Contributions previously made by Partners for Partnership 

Indebtedness (other than Partnership Indebtedness related to an Investment that is no longer held 

by the Partnership) and (y) any Capital Contributions previously made by such Partner in respect 

of such Investment, Partnership Expenses or Partnership Indebtedness (such amount, a 

“Rebalancing Contribution”), plus an additional amount (an “Additional Amount”) on each 

portion of each such Capital Contribution at the Prime Rate plus 2.0% from the date each such 

amount was funded to the date of such Subsequent Closing (or such later date as specified by the 

General Partner), prorated based upon the actual number of days elapsed (which Additional 

Amount shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution), less such amount as is necessary to take 

into account any prior distribution in respect of each such Investment, (B) be deemed to have 

made a Capital Contribution or Deemed Contribution, as applicable, with respect to each such 

Investment in an amount equal to the product of (x) a fraction the numerator of which is such 

Partner’s Capital Commitment after giving effect to such admission or increase and the 

denominator of which is the aggregate amount of all Partners’ Capital Commitments after giving 

effect to such admission or increase and (y) the amount of all Partners’ Capital Contributions 

and/or Deemed Contributions, as applicable, with respect to such Investment after giving effect 

to such admission or increase and (C) be deemed to have received distributions of Investment

Proceeds with respect to each such Investment in an amount equal to the product of (x) such 

Partner’s Percentage Interest in such Investment after giving effect to such admission or increase 

and (y) the amount of all prior distributions of Investment Proceeds with respect to such 

Investment. For all purposes of this Agreement, (A) the amount of Investment Proceeds deemed 

to have been received by each Partner from an Investment prior to a Subsequent Closing shall be 

deemed to be reduced by the product of (x) the aggregate amount of Investment Proceeds 

deemed to have been received by Partners pursuant to clause (C) of the preceding sentence (net

of any amounts received by such Partners prior to such Subsequent Closing) and (y) such 

Partner’s Percentage Interest in such Investment before giving effect to such Subsequent Closing 

and (B) the aggregate amount of Deemed Contributions deemed to have been made by each 

Partner for an Investment prior to a Subsequent Closing shall be deemed to be reduced by the 

product of (x) the aggregate amount of Deemed Contributions deemed to have been made by the 

Partners pursuant to clause (B) of the preceding sentence (net of any Deemed Contributions 

made by such Partners prior to such Subsequent Closing) and (y) such Partner’s Percentage 

Interest in such Investment prior to giving effect to such Subsequent Closing. The General 

Partner shall distribute Rebalancing Contributions and Additional Amounts among the Partners 

that were admitted at prior closings in proportion to the difference between the Capital 

Contributions which each such Partner has already made for such Investments, Partnership 

Expenses and repayments of such Partnership Indebtedness and such Partner’s Pro Rata Share of 

such amounts after giving effect to such admission or increase. For the avoidance of doubt, at no 

time shall the aggregate capital commitments of UST and loan commitments of UST (in its 

capacity as lender) to all Initial Round PPIFs (including the Partnership) exceed $30 billion. 

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 3.3(b)(i) above, if in the sole and 

absolute determination of the General Partner, a Capital Contribution 

required to be made by any Partner as determined pursuant to Section 
21

3.3(b)(i) would provide such Partner with an inappropriate Percentage 

Interest in an Investment of the Partnership because of material changes in 

the value of such Investment, the General Partner may either (A) exclude 

such Partner from participation in such Investment (in which case such 

Partner shall not be required to make the Rebalancing Contribution 

described in Section 3.3(b)(i) in respect of such Investment) or (B) inform 

such Partner prior to the date of the Subsequent Closing in which it will 

participate of the payment that such Partner will instead be required to 

make at or in connection with such Subsequent Closing (or on such later 

date as specified by the General Partner). The portion of any payment 

required to be made pursuant to clause (B) of the preceding sentence in 

excess of the amount of the Capital Contribution a Partner would have 

been required to make pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(i) shall constitute an 

Additional Amount (which Additional Amount shall not be treated as a 

Capital Contribution or Deemed Contribution) and the remainder of such 

payment shall constitute a Capital Contribution.

(iii) In addition to the Capital Contributions and Additional 

Amounts to be contributed pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, each 

Partner that is admitted or increases its Capital Commitment at a 

Subsequent Closing shall make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership 

to be deposited in the Working Capital Reserve in an amount necessary to 

cause (x) the ratio of the aggregate amount held on behalf of such Partner 

in the Working Capital Reserve relative to the aggregate amount held on 

behalf of all Partners in the Working Capital Reserve to equal (y) the ratio

of such Partner’s Capital Commitment to the aggregate Capital 

Commitments of all Partners.

3.4. Distributions -- General Principles. (a) Generally. Except as otherwise 

expressly provided herein, no Partner shall have the right to withdraw capital from the 

Partnership or to receive any distribution or return of its Capital Contributions or Deemed 

Contributions. Distributions of Partnership assets that are provided for herein shall be made only 

to Persons who, according to the books and records of the Partnership, were the Partners in the 

Partnership on the date, determined by the General Partner, as of which the Partners are entitled

to any such distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, 

the Partnership, and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, shall not be required to 

make a distribution to any Partner on account of its interest in the Partnership if such distribution 

would violate the Act, other applicable law, rule or regulation or any Loan Document.

(b) Distributions in Kind. Distributions may only be made in kind in 

connection with the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership. Distributions in 

cash and in kind shall be made in pro rata portions to each Partner.

(c) Timing and Manner of Distributions. Distributions of cash shall 

be made at the times provided below:
22

(i) Investment Proceeds available following the application of 

Section 3.5 shall, unless otherwise applied in accordance with Section 

3.4(f) or the other provisions of this Agreement, be distributed as soon as 

practicable after the date such Investment Proceeds are received by the 

Partnership, but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days following 

the end of each Fiscal Quarter in which such Investment Proceeds are 

received by the Partnership; and

(ii) Temporary Investment Income shall, unless otherwise applied 

in accordance with Section 3.4(f) or the other provisions of this 

Agreement, be distributed at such times and intervals as the General 

Partner shall determine, but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days 

following the end of the Fiscal Quarter in which such Temporary 

Investment Income is received by the Partnership.

Distributions of cash to UST shall be made in United States dollars by wire transfer of 

immediately available funds to the account set forth under “UST Wire Instructions” on Schedule 

A.

(d) For all purposes of this Agreement, whenever an Investment is 

made in the same security in which an Investment previously has been made, such 

subsequent Investment shall be treated as a separate Investment from the Investment 

previously made, and the Capital Contributions and Deemed Contributions for such 

security shall be divided between the prior Investment and subsequent Investments 

based upon the relative amounts invested by the Partnership in each such prior and 

subsequent Investment. Investment Proceeds subsequently received from or in 

respect of such security shall be divided between the prior Investment and each 

subsequent Investment based upon the relative number of securities acquired by the 

Partnership in such prior and subsequent Investments; provided that the General 

Partner may divide such Investment Proceeds between the prior Investment and each 

subsequent Investment based upon the relative amounts invested by the Partnership in 

such prior and subsequent Investments to the extent the General Partner determines in 

good faith that such approach is more equitable.

(e) The amount of any taxes paid by or withheld from receipts of the 

Partnership from an Investment or a Temporary Investment (or any flow-through 

vehicle in which the Partnership invests) shall be allocated to the Partner to whom 

such taxes are attributable as reasonably determined by the General Partner, and shall 

be deemed to have been distributed to such Partner as Investment Proceeds or 

Temporary Investment Income for all purposes of this Agreement. 

(f) Investment Proceeds and Temporary Investment Income (other 

than Temporary Investment Income relating to UST Warrant Proceeds deposited into 

the Escrow Account) may be retained by the Partnership and used for any purpose 

otherwise permissible under this Agreement including, without limitation, to (i) create 

reasonable reserves for Partnership Expenses and the making of Investments 

(provided that such reserves for Partnership Expenses shall not exceed 0.10% of 
23

Capital Commitments without the prior written consent of UST, which consent shall 

not unreasonably be withheld), (ii) repay Partnership Indebtedness or create 

reasonable reserves for repayment of Partnership Indebtedness (provided that, except 

with respect to repayment of Partnership Indebtedness (and reserves therefor) 

pursuant to the Loan Documents, the prior written consent of UST shall be required 

for any repayment of Partnership Indebtedness or for the creation of reserves for the 

repayment of Partnership Indebtedness, in either case following the expiration or 

termination of the Investment Period) and (iii) make Investments (A) during the 

Investment Period or (B) after the expiration or termination of the Investment Period, 

to the extent that the Partnership (or the General Partner or one or more of its 

Affiliates, on behalf of the Partnership) has entered into a legally binding obligation 

to acquire such Investment prior to the expiration or termination of the Investment

Period so long as such Investment is consummated within sixty (60) calendar days of 

the expiration or termination of the Investment Period; provided that the Partnership 

may only withhold and apply amounts pursuant to this Section 3.4(f) to the extent 

such withholding is made on a pro rata basis from all Partners based on Capital 

Commitments. For the avoidance of doubt, any Investment Proceeds retained 

pursuant to this Section 3.4(f) shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 3.5(a).

3.5. Amounts and Priority of Distributions; Contingent Interest Promissory Note. 

(a) Distributions of Investment Proceeds. Each distribution of Investment Proceeds shall 

initially be made to the Partners in proportion to each of their respective Percentage Interests in 

such Investment. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, each Partner’s (other than UST’s) 

share of each distribution of Investment Proceeds shall be divided between such Partner on the 

one hand and the Noteholder on the other hand as follows:

(i) Return of Capital: First, 100% to such Partner until the 

cumulative distributions to such Partner of Investment Proceeds equal 

such Partner’s Capital Contributions;

(ii) UST Warrant Proceeds Split: Thereafter, the Applicable 

Percentage to such Partner and the Warrant Percentage to the Noteholder.

(b) Distributions of Temporary Investment Income: Each distribution 

of Temporary Investment Income shall be divided among all Partners pro rata in 

proportion to their respective interests in the applicable Temporary Investments, as 

reasonably determined by the General Partner.

(c) Each Partner acknowledges that the Partnership has issued the 

Contingent Interest Promissory Note that entitles the Noteholder to distributions of 

UST Warrant Proceeds, which distributions shall be treated as distributions in respect 

of an equity interest in the Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including 

for purposes of allocation of Profits and Losses pursuant to Section 9.2 and 

determination of Capital Account balances.

3.6. Establishment of Escrow Account. (a) The General Partner shall establish 

and maintain an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) at the same financial institution as the 
24

Custodial Account administered by the Custodian, with a notional sub-account for each Partner 

(other than UST). Subject to Section 3.6(c) below, the General Partner shall deposit into the 

Escrow Account any UST Warrant Proceeds in order to assure the availability of funds for the 

potential obligation of the Noteholder to refund amounts pursuant to Section 8.4; provided that 

no Default Warrant Proceeds shall be deposited in the Escrow Account.

(b) Permitted Withdrawals from the Escrow Account. All funds 

deposited in the Escrow Account shall remain in the Escrow Account and may not be 

withdrawn except as provided in this Section 3.6; provided that any Temporary 

Investment Income relating to UST Warrant Proceeds deposited into the Escrow 

Account shall be distributed to the Noteholder in accordance with Section 3.4(c)(ii).

(c) Suspension of Escrow Obligation and Release of Escrow Account. 

The General Partner shall not place any UST Warrant Proceeds in respect of a Partner 

in such Partner’s sub-account in the Escrow Account to the extent that the amount in 

such sub-account is equal to or exceeds the Required Escrow Amount with respect to 

such Partner. If on any date the amount in a Partner’s sub-account in the Escrow 

Account exceeds the Required Escrow Amount with respect to such Partner, then the 

amount of such excess shall be released by the escrow agent to the Noteholder.

(d) Any amount remaining in any Partner’s notional sub-account in 

the Escrow Account after the payment to such Partner of all amounts under Section 

8.4 shall be immediately released to the Noteholder.

(e) The funds held in the Escrow Account shall be invested in 

Temporary Investments.

ARTICLE IV

The General Partner

4.1. Investment Guidelines. (a) The Partnership shall make investments in 

accordance with the Investment Guidelines set forth in Section 4.1(b) (the securities or 

instruments in which the Partnership has actually invested or the securities or instruments issued 

as a dividend thereon, in a reclassification with respect thereto or in an exchange therefor (other 

than Temporary Investments), are referred to herein as “Investments”). In addition, at such time 

as any funds of the Partnership are not invested in Investments, distributed to the Partners or 

applied towards the expenses of the Partnership, the Partnership shall maintain such funds in 

Temporary Investments.

(b) (i) The investment objective of the Partnership is to generate 

attractive returns for the Partners through long-term opportunistic investments in 

Eligible Assets.

(ii) Eligible Assets must be purchased solely from Financial 

Institutions from which the Secretary of the United States Department of
25

the Treasury may purchase assets pursuant to Sections 101(a)(1) and 112 

of EESA. 

(iii) The Partnership will not, without the prior written consent of 

UST:

in a Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit; 

(B) invest in any securities or assets other than Eligible Assets, Temporary

Investments and Permitted Interest Rate Hedges;

(C) enter into any Derivative Transaction other than Permitted Interest Rate 

Hedges; 

(D) hedge any credit risks arising from Investments made by the Partnership; 

(E) directly or indirectly lend Eligible Assets or Temporary Investments or any

(F) violate the covenants set forth under “Diversification and Investment

Limitations” on Schedule A; or

(G) notwithstanding the withdrawal of a Private Investor from a Private Vehicle 

or a Feeder Vehicle or the default of a Private Investor to a Private Vehicle or Feeder 

Vehicle or the failure of any Partner to make, when due, any portion of a Capital 

Contribution required to be contributed by such Partner pursuant to this Agreement, make 

any Investment unless the Partners other than UST have, in the aggregate, contributed an 

amount equal to the sum of their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Capital Contributions 

required for such Investment. 

Subject to the proviso to Section 3.1(a)(i), the Partnership shall not make any Investments after 

the expiration or termination of the Investment Period. 

4.2. Powers of the General Partner. (a) The management, operation and policy 

of the Partnership shall be vested exclusively in the General Partner, which shall have the power 

by itself, and shall be authorized and empowered on behalf and in the name of the Partnership, to 

carry out any and all of the objects and purposes of the Partnership and to perform all acts and 

enter into and perform all contracts and other undertakings that it may deem necessary or 

advisable or incidental thereto, all in accordance with and subject to the other terms of this 

Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the General Partner 

may, with the prior written consent of UST, delegate any of its discretionary investment

authority and other rights, powers, functions and obligations hereunder to any Person, which may 

be a third party or an Affiliate of the General Partner; provided that any such delegation shall be 

revocable by the General Partner and the General Partner shall always remain liable to the 

Partnership and the Limited Partners for the General Partner’s obligations hereunder and for all 

actions and omissions of any such third parties or Affiliates to the same extent as the General 

Partner is liable for its own actions and omissions hereunder. 
26

(b) Without limiting the foregoing general powers and duties, the 

General Partner is hereby authorized and empowered on behalf and in the name of the 

Partnership, or on its own behalf and in its own name, or through agents as may be 

appropriate, subject to the limitations contained elsewhere in this Agreement, to:

(i) make all decisions concerning the investigation, evaluation,

selection, negotiation, structuring, commitment to, monitoring of and 

disposition of Investments and Temporary Investments (including the 

investment of amounts in the Working Capital Reserve in Temporary 

Investments);

(ii) direct the formulation of investment policies and strategies for 

the Partnership, and select and approve the investment of Partnership 

funds, all in accordance with the Investment Guidelines and any other 

limitations of this Agreement;

(iii) acquire, hold, manage, own, sell, transfer, convey, exchange 

or dispose of Investments and Temporary Investments, and exercise all

placed in the Distribution Account to the extent permitted pursuant to 

Sections 2.07(a)(viii) and/or 2.07(a)(x) of the Loan Agreement; 

(vii) hire for reasonable fees and expenses consultants, brokers, 

appraisers, attorneys, accountants, administrators, advisors, and such other 

agents, service providers and contractors for the Partnership as it may 

deem necessary or advisable, and authorize any such agent to act for and 

on behalf of the Partnership (provided that the Partnership shall not hire 

any “employees” (as such term is defined in the Interim Final Rule) or 

otherwise employ any salaried personnel);

(viii) pay Partnership Expenses; 
27

(ix) subject to Section 6.3(a)(vii), cause the Partnership to 

purchase insurance to insure (A) the Partnership and (B) the members of 

the General Partner Group and their respective Affiliates in connection 

with the activities of the Partnership; 

(x) enter into, execute, maintain and/or terminate contracts, 

undertakings and any and all other instruments, agreements and 

documents in the name of the Partnership, and do or perform all such 

things as may be, in the General Partner’s good faith judgment, necessary 

or advisable in furtherance of the Partnership’s powers, objects or 

purposes or to the conduct of the Partnership’s activities, including 

entering into acquisition agreements to make or dispose of Investments or 

Temporary Investments which may include such representations, 

warranties and covenants as the General Partner in good faith deems 

necessary or advisable;

(xi) bring legal actions on behalf of, or defend legal actions 

against, the Partnership; 

(xii) act as the “tax matters partner” under the Code and in any 

similar capacity under state, local or non-United States law; and

States federal, state, local and non-United States tax matters, including any 

election to adjust the basis of Partnership property pursuant to Section 754 

of the Code or comparable provisions of United States federal, state, local 

or non-United States law.

(c) Borrowing and Guarantees. The General Partner shall have the 

right, at its option, to cause the Partnership and its Subsidiaries to incur Indebtedness 

under the Loan Agreement and as otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents; 

provided that the Partnership and its Subsidiaries will not, directly or indirectly, incur, 

create, issue, assume or guarantee any Additional Debt without the prior written 

consent of UST, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. At any time that 

there are no Loans outstanding, the Partnership and its Subsidiaries will not, directly 

or indirectly, incur, create, issue, assume or guarantee any Indebtedness unless on a 

pro forma basis the Leverage Ratio as of such date does not exceed (i) the maximum 

leverage allowed pursuant to TALF Debt, if the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries 

have incurred TALF Debt that remains outstanding, or (ii) 5.0x, if TALF Debt is no 

longer available for the purchase or acquisition of Eligible Assets or the Partnership 

and its Subsidiaries have not incurred TALF Debt that remains outstanding. In 

connection with the Loan Documents and subject to Section 4.1(b)(iii), the 

Partnership shall be authorized to pledge, mortgage, assign, transfer and grant 

security interests in Investments and Subsidiaries and any other collateral identified in 

any of the Loan Documents; provided that the General Partner shall not have the right 

to (i) pledge the Capital Commitment of UST to any Person, including a lender or (ii) 

otherwise assign the right to call Capital Contributions from UST. 
28

4.3. General Partner as Limited Partner. The General Partner shall also be a 

Limited Partner to the extent that it purchases or becomes a transferee of all or any part of the 

Interest of a Limited Partner, and to such extent, in its capacity as such, shall be treated as a 

Limited Partner in all respects, except as provided in the definition of “Majority (or other 

specified percentage) in Interest of the Private Investors.” 

4.4. Other Activities. (a) Restrictions on Competing Funds. Without the 

prior written consent of UST, none of the General Partner or its Affiliates will, directly or 

indirectly, form, close on or accept commitments to another pooled investment fund for which 

any of them acts as the manager, advisor or primary source of investments and which has the 

primary investment objective of investing in Eligible Assets (other than (v) any Private Vehicle 

or Feeder Vehicle formed to invest substantially all of its investable assets directly or indirectly 

in the Partnership, (w) any Private Vehicle or Feeder Vehicle that is a private REIT formed to 

invest at least a portion of its investable assets directly or indirectly in the Partnership, (x) any 

vehicle the interests in which are registered under the Securities Act, (y) any vehicle that is a 

pooled investment fund formed to invest substantially all of its investable assets in Eligible 

Assets pursuant to any program sponsored by the United States federal government or its 

agencies or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, including TALF or (z) solely in the event 

the Partnership is prohibited from investing in residential mortgage-backed securities or 

commercial mortgage-backed securities pursuant to the covenants set forth under 

“Diversification and Investment Limitations” on Schedule A, any pooled investment fund which 

has the primary investment objective of investing in residential mortgage-backed securities or 

commercial mortgage-backed securities, as applicable) (any such entity, other than the entities 

described in (v), (w), (x), (y) and (z), a “Competing Fund”) on or prior to the earliest of (i) the 

date on which the Partnership has invested 85% of its Capital Commitments, (ii) the one-year 

anniversary of the Closing Date or (iii) the termination of the Investment Period pursuant to 

Section 3.2(a) (such earliest date, the “Lock-Up Termination Date”); it being understood that the 

General Partner and its Affiliates may continue to manage any existing pooled investment fund 

or separate account or other similar vehicle with the primary investment objective of investing in 

Eligible Assets in existence as of the Closing Date and set forth under “Existing Competing 

Funds” on Schedule A (provided that no new commitments are accepted in violation of this 

Section 4.4(a)), and, subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.4(a), may establish or close on 

any separate account at any time prior to or following the Closing Date. The General Partner 

will promptly notify UST in the event the General Partner or any of its Affiliates forms, closes 

on or accepts commitments to a Competing Fund following the Lock-Up Termination Date and 

prior to the expiration or termination of the Investment Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

without the written consent of UST, none of the General Partner or its Affiliates will, directly or 

indirectly, form, close on or accept commitments to an investment vehicle or a separate account 

formed for the specific purpose of acquiring specific identified Eligible Assets or a specific 

identified portfolio of Eligible Assets prior to the expiration or termination of the Investment

Period (a “Dedicated Vehicle”); provided that the foregoing shall not apply to a Dedicated 

Vehicle to the extent that (i) (A) the Partnership is legally or contractually prohibited (including 

under the Investment Guidelines) from acquiring such Eligible Asset(s) or (B) the acquisition by 

the Partnership of such Eligible Asset(s) would unreasonably limit diversification in the good 

faith judgment of the General Partner and (ii) the General Partner provides information regarding 

the investments made by such Dedicated Vehicle in the Monthly Report; and provided, further, 

that any such Dedicated Vehicle shall bear its pro rata share (based on invested capital) of any 
29

expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of any Eligible Assets alongside the 

Partnership.

(b) Restrictions on Hedging Products. Without the prior written 

consent of UST, none of the General Partner or any of its Affiliates will, directly or 

indirectly, form, close on or accept commitments to any investment vehicle which as 

part of its investment program purports to hedge credit risks arising from all or 

substantially all of the Partnership’s or any other PPIF’s portfolio of investments.

(c) Allocation of Business Time. The General Partner shall, and shall 

cause its Affiliates to, devote to the Partnership and its Investments such business 

time as shall be necessary to conduct the Partnership’s business and affairs in an 

appropriate manner, including, without limitation, seeking to maximize the returns 

with respect to the Partnership’s Investments throughout the term of the Partnership 

in accordance with Section 4.1(b)(i).

(d) Fiduciary Duty. The General Partner shall, and shall cause its 

Subadvisors and its Affiliates that are involved in the management and affairs of the 

Partnership to, act in accordance with the General Partner’s fiduciary duties to the 

Limited Partners, including a duty of loyalty, a duty of care and a duty of good faith

and fair dealing, and in the best interest of the Limited Partners, without regard to its 

interests and to no lesser extent than the interests of its other clients; provided that the 

foregoing shall not limit the General Partner’s or any of its Subadvisors’ or Affiliates’ 

ability to form investment vehicles and separate accounts as permitted by Section 

4.4(a), engage in other activities as permitted by Section 4.4(e), receive payments of 

the UST Management Fee in accordance with Section 6.2, apply remedies against a 

Defaulting Partner pursuant to Section 7.3 or dissolve the Partnership in accordance 

with Section 8.1(a)(iv). 

(e) Except as provided in Sections 4.4(a)-(d) above and in the 

Compliance Rules, this Agreement shall not be construed in any manner to preclude 

the General Partner, its Affiliates or any Subadvisor from engaging in any activity 

whatsoever permitted by applicable law.

4.5. ERISA Covenant. (a) The General Partner shall at all times conduct the 

affairs of the Partnership such that the Partnership’s assets would not constitute plan assets of 

any Partner for purposes of the fiduciary responsibility or prohibited transaction provisions of 

Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

(b) The General Partner hereby agrees that (i) on the Closing Date the 

General Partner shall deliver to UST an opinion of counsel (which opinion and 

counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to UST) to the effect that as of the Closing 

Date, after giving effect to all Capital Commitments and Capital Contributions to the 

Partnership as of such date, the Partnership assets should not constitute “plan assets” 

of any “benefit plan investor” within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA and the 

regulations promulgated thereunder and including a reasonable level of detail 

regarding the basis for the conclusion set forth therein, (ii) the General Partner shall 
30

deliver to UST annually, but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days following 

the close of each Fiscal Year of the Partnership, an opinion of counsel (which opinion 

and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to UST) to the effect that the Partnership 

assets should not constitute “plan assets” of any “benefit plan investor” within the 

meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder and 

including a reasonable level of detail regarding the basis for the conclusion set forth 

therein, (iii) the General Partner shall monitor the “plan asset” status of the 

Partnership for purposes of Title I of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code in 

accordance with Section 4.5(a) and (iv) the General Partner will promptly notify UST 

in the event the General Partner reasonably determines that the Partnership’s assets 

would reasonably be likely be deemed to be “plan asset” of any “benefit plan 

investor” (each within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA and the regulations 

promulgated thereunder). 

4.6. Fair Market Value. Following the termination of the Loan Agreement, the 

Partnership shall engage a valuation agent to determine Fair Market Values of Investments as 

provided in the definition of “Market Value” in the Loan Agreement; provided that unless UST 

otherwise agrees in writing, such valuation agent shall be the “Valuation Agent” set forth in the 

Loan Agreement.

ARTICLE V

The Limited Partners

5.1. Management. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Limited 

Partner shall have the right or power to participate in the management or affairs of the 

Partnership, nor shall any Limited Partner have the power to sign for or bind the Partnership or 

deal with third parties on behalf of the Partnership without the prior written consent of the 

General Partner. The exercise by any Limited Partner of any right conferred herein shall not be 

construed to constitute participation by such Limited Partner in the control of the business of the 

Partnership so as to make such Limited Partner liable for the debts and obligations of the 

Partnership for purposes of the Act. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no Limited Partner 

owes any duty (fiduciary or otherwise) to the Partnership or any other Partner as a result of (i) 

such Limited Partner’s status as a Limited Partner and (ii) in the case of UST, serving as a lender 

to the Partnership. Without limitation of the foregoing, whenever in this Agreement (i) the 

consent of UST is required for the taking of any action by the General Partner or the Partnership 

and (ii) the terms of this Agreement do not explicitly require that such consent not unreasonably 

be withheld, UST (A) shall, in determining whether to grant such consent, be entitled to consider 

any interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, (B) shall, to the fullest extent

permitted by law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factor 

affecting the Partnership or any other Person and (C) may grant or withhold such consent in its 

sole and absolute discretion. UST (in its capacity as either a Limited Partner or a lender) shall 

have no liability to the Partnership, the General Partner or any other Partner in connection with 

the grant or withholding of any consent by UST (in either such capacity hereunder or under any 

Loan Document).
31

5.2. Liabilities of the Limited Partners. (a) Except as provided by the Act or 

other applicable law and subject to the obligations to make Capital Contributions and to 

indemnify the Partnership and the General Partner as provided in Section 9.6 (in the case of 

Limited Partners other than UST) and as otherwise required by this Agreement or by applicable 

law, no Limited Partner shall have any personal liability whatsoever in its capacity as a Limited 

Partner, whether to any of the Partners, the Partnership or any creditor of the Partnership, for the 

debts, liabilities, contracts, or other obligations of the Partnership or for any losses of the 

Partnership. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Partner hereby agrees that, to the fullest 

extent permitted by law, UST’s execution of, and exercise of its rights under or in connection 

with, the Loan Documents (in each case in its capacity as lender) shall not, except as explicitly 

set forth in the Loan Documents, (i) create any liability to the Partnership or any Partner or (ii) 

create any duties or obligations owed by UST (in its capacity as a Limited Partner or a lender) to 

any of the Partners, the Partnership or any creditor of the Partnership. To the extent any Limited 

Partner is required by the Act or hereunder to return to the Partnership any distributions made to 

it and does so, such Limited Partner shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, have a right 

of contribution from each other Partner similarly liable to return distributions made to it

hereunder under the Act to the extent that such Limited Partner has returned a greater percentage 

of the total distributions made to it and so required to be returned by it than the percentage of the 

total distributions made to such other Partner and so required to be returned by it.

(b) Except as required by the Act or other applicable law, no Limited 

Partner shall be required to repay to the Partnership, any Partner or any creditor of the 

Partnership all or any part of the distributions (including liquidating distributions)

made to such Limited Partner pursuant to Article III and Section 8.3 hereof.

5.3. UST’s Outside Activities. (a) UST shall be entitled to and may have 

interests and engage in activities in addition to those relating to the Partnership, including 

interests and activities in direct competition with the Partnership and the entities in which the 

Partnership invests and may engage in transactions with, and provide services or financing to, the 

Partnership or any such entity. For the avoidance of doubt, UST (in its capacity as a Limited 

Partner or a lender) may invest in and provide financing to other PPIFs or other investment 

vehicles that may invest in Eligible Assets. None of the Partnership, any other Partner or any 

other Person shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any ventures of any Limited 

Partner.

(b) Each Partner acknowledges that UST reserves all immunities,

defenses, rights or actions arising out of either UST’s status as an instrumentality of a

sovereign state or entity or under the United States Constitution, and that no waiver of 

any such immunities, defenses, rights or actions shall be implied or otherwise deemed 

to exist by UST’s entry into this Agreement, by any express or implied provision 

hereof, or by any action or omission by UST or one of UST’s representatives or 

agents, whether taken pursuant to this Agreement or prior to or after UST’s admission 

to the Partnership. Each Partner also acknowledges that UST’s admission to the 

Partnership as a Limited Partner in no way limits any future exercise of authority by 

the government of the United States and UST assumes no liability, either express or 

implied, resulting from the future exercise of authority by the government of the 

United States.
32

5.4. Private Vehicles. (a) Each Private Vehicle shall be formed under the laws 

of a State of the United States.

(b) The aggregate direct and indirect Capital Commitments of any 

Private Investor (individually or together with its Affiliates) to the Partnership as a 

result of (i) any investment by such Private Investor or any of its Affiliates in a 

vehicle (including a Private Vehicle or Feeder Vehicle) which directly or indirectly 

invests in the Partnership or (ii) any other investment decision by such Private 

Investor or any of its Affiliates to directly or indirectly invest in the Partnership, may 

not, without the prior written consent of UST, in the aggregate exceed 9.9% of the 

aggregate Capital Commitments to the Partnership (other than as a result of the 

withdrawal of a Private Investor from a Private Vehicle or a Feeder Vehicle or the 

default of a Private Investor to a Private Vehicle or Feeder Vehicle).

(c) The General Partner shall ensure that (i) Private Investors may 

only withdraw from the Private Vehicles or Feeder Vehicles, as applicable, (A) if in 

the reasonable judgment of the General Partner, (I) a material adverse effect on any of

the Partnership, the Private Vehicles, the Feeder Vehicles, the General Partner, the 

Subadvisors or any of their respective Affiliates is likely to result by virtue of that 

Private Investor’s interest in such Private Vehicle or Feeder Vehicle or (II) such

redemption is necessary to ensure compliance with Section 4.5, (B) for ERISA or 

BHC Act reasons or (C) (I) if by its continuing participation as a Private Investor, 

there is a substantial likelihood that such Private Investor or its fiduciary is or would 

be violating a law, regulation or rule of whatever nature (as in effect on the date 

hereof or as may be in effect at any time in the future) applicable to, or any action 

taken by any governmental authority as to, such Private Investor, its fiduciary, the 

Private Vehicle or the Feeder Vehicle with respect to such Private Investor in a 

manner that materially and adversely affects such Private Investor or its fiduciary, (II) 

if such Private Investor were to cease being a Private Investor, such violation would 

not occur or would thereafter cease to exist and (III) there is no other action such 

Private Investor or its fiduciary can take to eliminate such violation including 

transferring its interest in the Private Vehicle or Feeder Vehicle to an Affiliate that is

permitted to invest herein or therein, without incurring significant cost or adverse 

effect and (ii) upon any such withdrawal, a Private Investor may only receive a note 

payable with distributions to the Private Vehicles or Feeder Vehicles, as applicable;

provided that Private Investors may withdraw from Feeder Vehicles the interests in 

which are registered under the Securities Act only if such withdrawal does not result 

in a withdrawal of all or any portion of such Feeder Vehicle’s interest in the 

applicable Private Vehicle.

ARTICLE VI

Expenses and Fees

6.1. General Partner Expenses. Neither the Partnership nor any Limited Partner 

shall bear or be charged with any of the following costs and expenses of the Partnership’s 

activities: (i) any costs and expenses of providing to the Partnership the office space, facilities,
33

supplies and necessary ongoing overhead support services for the Partnership’s operations 

(including systems and technology), (ii) the compensation of the personnel of the General 

Partner and its Affiliates, (iii) any fees, costs or expenses of (A) any third party engaged to

the General Partner, its Affiliates (other than the Partnership) and any one or more of the Private 

Vehicles or Feeder Vehicles as may be determined by the General Partner.

6.2. UST Management Fee. (a) (i) The Partnership shall pay the fee described 

below (the “UST Management Fee”) to the Fee Recipient out of UST’s share of Investment

Proceeds or Temporary Investment Income available for distribution to UST (excluding, for the 

avoidance of doubt, amounts distributable as UST Warrant Proceeds). For the avoidance of 

doubt, the UST Management Fee may not be paid from drawdowns of UST’s Capital 

Commitment.

(ii) The UST Management Fee shall be paid quarterly in arrears on 

the Business Day on or immediately after each UST Management Fee 

Payment Date to the extent there are Investment Proceeds or Temporary

termination of the Investment Period, the UST Management Fee shall be 

an amount equal to 0.20% per annum of UST’s Capital Commitment as of 

the last day of the period to which the UST Management Fee relates. 

Thereafter, the UST Management Fee shall be an amount equal to 0.20% 

per annum of the lesser of (A) UST’s Capital Commitment as of the last 

day of the period to which the UST Management Fee relates and (B) the 

UST Interest Value as of the last day of the period to which the UST 

Management Fee relates. 

(b) To the extent that on any UST Management Fee Payment Date 

there are not Investment Proceeds or Temporary Investment Income otherwise 

payable to UST sufficient to satisfy the UST Management Fee then due and payable, 

the unpaid portion of the UST Management Fee shall be paid out of UST’s share of 

future Investment Proceeds or Temporary Investment Income available for 

distribution to UST (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, amounts distributable as 

UST Warrant Proceeds). No interest shall accrue with respect to any such unpaid 

portion of the UST Management Fee.

(c) The UST Management Fee shall begin to accrue with respect to 

any Capital Commitment made by UST on the date such Capital Commitment is 

made or increased, as applicable. The UST Management Fee payable with respect to 
34

the first and last Fiscal Quarters of the Partnership shall be pro-rated for the number 

of days in such periods. The UST Management Fee shall cease to accrue following a 

Removal Election.

6.3. Partnership Expenses. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement 

(including Section 6.1), the Partnership shall bear and be charged with the following costs and 

expenses of the Partnership’s operation that are reasonable and in furtherance of the business of 

the Partnership (the “Partnership Expenses”):

(i) fees, costs and expenses of the valuation agent and any 

administrators, custodians, attorneys, accountants and other professionals 

(including audit and certification fees);

developing, negotiating, structuring, trading, settling, monitoring, holding

Investments that are not ultimately consummated or closed unless (x) such 

fees, costs and expenses have been reimbursed by a third party or (y) the 

potential Investment is ultimately made by another investment vehicle or 

managed account managed or advised by the General Partner or any of its 

Affiliates), including without limitation any financing, legal, accounting,

advisory and consulting expenses in connection therewith (to the extent 

not subject to any reimbursement of such costs and expenses by third 

parties);

Partnership; provided that the Partnership shall not bear the cost of any

from fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty, gross 

negligence, a violation of applicable securities laws, conduct that is the

Interest as the general partner of the Partnership; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, 

Transfers of interests in the General Partner shall be governed exclusively by the limitations set

provided that the written consent (x) of a Majority in Interest of the Private Investors

is obtained or (y) set forth on Schedule A under “Removal of the General Partner” is 

obtained (any vote pursuant to this clause (A), a “No Fault Vote”) or (B) following (I) 

the occurrence of an event of Cause, (II) the occurrence of a Key Person Event 

(provided that the written consent of 331/3% in Interest of the Private Investors is 

obtained; and provided, further, that the General Partner has been given a thirty (30) 

calendar day grace period to cure such Key Person Event and has not cured such Key 

Person Event) or (III) the removal of the General Partner or an Affiliate thereof as the 

general partner (or similar managing fiduciary) or manager, as applicable, of any 

Private Vehicle or Feeder Vehicle (a “Private Vehicle Removal,” and, any removal

pursuant to the foregoing clause (A) or (B), a “Removal Election”) may require the 

removal, effective immediately upon notice to the General Partner of such removal, 

of the General Partner from the Partnership and the substitution of another Person as 

general partner of the Partnership in lieu thereof (which successor general partner 

shall be approved by UST and a Majority in Interest of the Private Investors); 

provided that any successor to the General Partner shall be substituted prior to, or at 

the same time as, the removal of the General Partner. The successor general partner 

of the Partnership shall be deemed admitted as the general partner of the Partnership 

upon its execution of a counterpart to this Agreement, effective immediately prior to 

the removal of the replaced General Partner or contemporaneously with the removal 

of the replaced General Partner and is authorized to continue the Partnership without 

dissolution. 

(ii) Prior to the removal of the General Partner, UST shall, to the 

extent practicable, consult with the investor advisory committees and/or 

boards of directors, if any, of the Private Vehicles to nominate a substitute

Private Vehicle Removal, until the earlier to occur of (x) receipt of the 

prior written consent of UST or (y) the replacement of the General 

Partner, (I) the Partnership shall not directly or indirectly make any new 

Investments (other than Investments with respect to which the Partnership 

(or the General Partner or one or more of its Affiliates, on behalf of the 

Partnership)) has entered into a legally binding obligation to acquire such 

Investment prior to such occurrence or removal so long as such 

Investment is consummated within sixty (60) calendar days of such 

occurrence or removal), (II) the Partnership shall not directly or indirectly 

dispose of any Investments except to the extent the General Partner 

determines in good faith that a disposition is necessary to avoid a material 

loss to the Partnership and (III) neither the General Partner nor any of its 

Affiliates shall enter into any legally binding obligation on behalf of the 

Partnership to make an Investment.
37

(iv) The General Partner shall cooperate with UST to obtain the 

written consent of the Private Investors referred to in Section 7.1(b)(i), 

which cooperation, in the case of Private Investors in a Private Vehicle the 

interests in which are not registered under the Securities Act, shall be 

limited to providing UST with the names and contact information of the 

Private Investors.

(c) Disabling Event. The General Partner shall cease to be the general 

partner of the Partnership upon the occurrence of a Disabling Event, and thereafter, 

except as required by applicable law, the removed General Partner shall not have any 

of the powers, obligations or liabilities of a general partner of the Partnership under 

this Agreement or under applicable law. Subject to UST agreeing in writing to 

continue the business of the Partnership pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(ii), upon the 

occurrence of any Disabling Event the Partnership shall be dissolved and wound up in 

accordance with the provisions of Section 8.2. If the General Partner shall cease to be 

the general partner of the Partnership upon the occurrence of a Disabling Event and 

UST shall determine to continue the business of the Partnership pursuant to Section 

8.1(a)(ii), notice of that determination shall be given to the General Partner by UST.

(d) Upon the effective date of any removal or cessation of the General 

Partner pursuant to Sections 7.1(b) or 8.1(a)(ii), the successor general partner shall be 

admitted as the general partner of the Partnership in accordance with the terms of this 

Agreement and, upon such admission, the General Partner being removed or ceasing 

to be a general partner of the Partnership shall assign and transfer to the successor 

general partner all of the General Partner’s right, title and interest as general partner 

of the Partnership; provided that notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement and 

without any further action being required of any Person, upon such assignment and 

transfer:

(i) the removed General Partner’s interest in the Partnership shall 

be converted into a limited partnership interest in the Partnership and the 

removed General Partner shall become a Limited Partner of the 

Partnership;

(ii) the Capital Commitment of the removed General Partner shall 

be reduced to zero (0) dollars and the removed General Partner shall not 

be required to make any further capital contributions or otherwise fund 

any Investments; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, the removed 

General Partner shall continue to be required to make Capital 

Contributions for Partnership Expenses relating to Investments in which 

the removed General Partner has a Percentage Interest; 

(iii) the removed General Partner, as a Limited Partner, shall 

retain (x) its interest in any reserves (including the Working Capital 

Reserve) of the Partnership, (y) its interest in each Temporary Investment 

and (z) its Percentage Interest in each Investment that was consummated 

by the Partnership during the period when the removed General Partner or 
38

General Partner ceasing to be a general partner of the Partnership served 

as general partner of the Partnership and prior to the effective date of the 

removed General Partner’s removal or General Partner’s cessation 

pursuant to Sections 7.1(b) or 8.1(a)(ii), as applicable (the “Pre-Removal 

Investments”) and, subject to Section 3.4(f) (solely in respect of 

Partnership Expenses relating to Investments in which the removed 

General Partner has a Percentage Interest), shall be entitled to receive all 

distributions in respect of its Capital Contributions for (together with any 

Temporary Investment Income related thereto), and Percentage Interests 

in, such Pre-Removal Investments pursuant to the terms of this Agreement 

as in effect immediately prior to the delivery of notice of removal 

hereunder (provided that, in the case of any removal of the General 

Partner pursuant to Section 7.1(b) following an event of Cause, the 

Partnership may offset any damages, losses, costs and expenses of the 

Partnership arising out of or in connection with such event of Cause 

against any amounts otherwise distributable in respect of the General 

Partner Capital Commitment); and

(iv) the successor general partner shall assume all of the other 

contractual obligations of the General Partner to the Partnership and the 

Limited Partners (in their capacities as such) of the Partnership. 

(e) Any General Partner which shall be removed, cease to be the 

general partner of the Partnership upon the occurrence of a Disabling Event, or which 

shall sell, transfer or assign, in accordance with this Agreement, all of its interest as a 

general partner of the Partnership or otherwise cease to be a general partner, shall 

remain liable for obligations and liabilities incurred on account of its activities as 

General Partner prior to the time such removal, Disabling Event, sale, transfer, 

assignment or other event shall have become effective.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any 

amendment on or after the effective date of the replacement of the General Partner to 

any provision of this Agreement that adversely impacts the replaced General 

Partner’s rights under this Agreement in a manner disproportionate to any adverse 

impact on the rights of the other Partners shall require the prior written consent of the 

removed General Partner.

(g) Until the General Partner is removed, the General Partner, on 

behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby consents to the use of the names and 

trademarks owned or controlled by the General Partner and its Affiliates in 

connection with the authorized business and activities of the Partnership. The 

Partners agree that any goodwill generated by the Partnership's use of the above 

names and trademarks shall inure solely to the benefit of the General Partner and its 

Affiliates, and the Partnership shall not claim any interest in such names, trademarks 

and goodwill.
39

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the 

removed General Partner shall have the right, without the consent of any Limited 

Partner or the successor general partner or any other Person, to require the name of 

the Partnership to be changed so that it does not include the name of the General 

Partner, its parent, any member of the General Partner Group or any variation on any 

such name, and the successor general partner shall make any filings and any 

necessary amendments to this Agreement and the Certificate of Limited Partnership 

related thereto as directed by the removed General Partner.

7.2. Assignments by Private Vehicles and UST. (a) (x) A Private Vehicle may

not, directly or indirectly, Transfer its Interest in whole or in part to any Person (an “Assignee”) 

without the prior written consent of the General Partner and UST, whose consent shall not 

unreasonably be withheld, and (y) UST may not, directly or indirectly, Transfer its Interest in 

whole or in part to an Assignee that is not an Affiliate of UST without the prior written consent

of the General Partner, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld; provided that the 

consent of UST shall not be required for any (A) transfer of interests in a Private Vehicle or 

Feeder Vehicle, so long as the conditions of clauses (i) through (vii) below are satisfied or (B) 

any Transfer of interests in a Private Vehicle or Feeder Vehicle the interests in which are 

registered under the Securities Act; and provided, further, that no Transfer shall be made by a

Limited Partner unless:

(i) such Transfer would not violate the Securities Act or any state 

securities or “Blue Sky” laws applicable to the Partnership or the Interest 

to be assigned or transferred;

(ii) such Transfer would not cause the Partnership to lose its status 

as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes or cause the 

Partnership to become subject to the registration requirements of the 1940 

Act;

(iii) such Transfer would not cause the Partnership to be treated as 

a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the 

Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder or result in the 

Partnership being treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax 

purposes;

(iv) such Transfer would not cause (A) all or any portion of the 

assets of the Partnership to (I) constitute “plan assets” under ERISA or the 

Code (or any applicable Similar Law) of any Limited Partner or (II) be 

subject to the provisions of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any 

applicable Similar Law or (B) the General Partner to become a fiduciary 

with respect to any Limited Partner pursuant to ERISA or any applicable 

Similar Law or otherwise;

(v) such Transfer would not otherwise cause the Partnership to 

violate any applicable law, including, without limitation, applicable 

securities laws;
40

(vi) to the extent the General Partner determines in its reasonable 

discretion that the Partnership or any portion thereof may be a "taxable 

mortgage pool" under Section 7701(i) if not for the application of IRS 

Revenue Procedure 2009-38 ("Rev. Proc. 2009-38") such Transfer would 

not cause the Partnership or any portion thereof not to be covered in 

Section 3.01 of Rev. Proc. 2009-38; and

(vii) to the extent the General Partner determines in its reasonable 

discretion that the Partnership or any portion thereof or any Private 

Vehicle or any portion thereof may be a "taxable mortgage pool" under 

Section 7701(i) if not for the application of Rev. Proc. 2009-38, such 

Transfer would not cause any Private Vehicle or any portion thereof not to 

be covered in Sections 3.02 or 3.03 of Rev. Proc. 2009-38. 

(b) UST shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any Transfer 

by a Private Vehicle of all or a portion of its Interest to a Person if such Person is a 

creditworthy Affiliate of such Private Vehicle.

(c) No Assignee of an Interest in the Partnership may be admitted as a 

substitute Limited Partner in the Partnership without the prior written consent of the 

General Partner and UST, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. Subject 

to the consent of the General Partner and UST, an Assignee shall be admitted to the 

Partnership as a limited partner of the Partnership upon its execution of an instrument 

signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, 

which instrument may be a counterpart signature page to this Agreement. An 

Assignee of an Interest that is not admitted as a substitute Limited Partner shall be 

entitled only to allocations and distributions with respect to that Interest and shall 

have no rights to vote such Interest, to participate in the management of the 

Partnership or to any information or accounting of the affairs of the Partnership and 

shall not have any of the other rights of a Partner pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by law, any attempted Transfer or 

substitution not made in accordance with this Section 7.2 shall be null and void ab 

initio.

7.3. Defaulting Partners. 

(a) In the event any Partner fails to make, when due, any portion of a 

Capital Contribution required to be contributed by such Partner pursuant to this 

Agreement or any other payment required to be made by it hereunder, then the 

Partnership shall promptly provide written notice to such Partner, UST and SIGTARP 

of such failure. If such Partner fails to make such Capital Contribution or other 

payment within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice then such Partner 

shall be deemed a “Defaulting Partner” (the amount in respect of which a Defaulting 

Partner has defaulted being a “Defaulted Amount”) and the General Partner shall 

immediately notify UST and SIGTARP of such failure.
41

(b) The Defaulted Amount may be deducted from any distribution of 

Temporary Investment Income, Investment Proceeds and liquidating distributions that 

such Defaulting Partner would otherwise receive. 

(c) In the event that any Partner defaults in making a Capital 

Contribution to the Partnership, the General Partner may require all of the NonDefaulting Partners (other than UST) to increase their Capital Contributions by an 

aggregate amount equal to the Defaulted Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, UST 

shall not be required to increase its Capital Contributions in respect of any Defaulted 

Amount. 

(d) Each Partner acknowledges by its execution hereof that it has been 

admitted to the Partnership in reliance upon its agreements under this Section 7.3 (as 

well as the other provisions of this Agreement), that the General Partner and the 

Partnership may have no adequate remedy at law for a breach hereof and that 

damages resulting from a breach hereof may be impossible to ascertain at the time 

hereof or of such breach. It is specifically agreed that any amount due to be paid, 

forfeited or otherwise deducted from any amount otherwise due to be paid to any 

Partner, or any abrogation of rights in respect of allocations, distributions or 

withdrawals, due to be made pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII constitutes 

a specified penalty or consequence permitted by Section 17-306 of the Act. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, each of the 

General Partner and the Partnership hereby waives any action, remedy and/or 

recovery against UST for any failure to fund any Capital Contribution or any other 

payment required to be made by UST hereunder other than the remedies set forth in 

Section 7.3(b). 

(e) In the event any Partner (other than UST) becomes a Defaulting 

Partner, the General Partner shall have the right in its sole discretion to take any one, 

a combination or all of the following actions: (i) cause such Defaulting Partner to 

forfeit to the other Partners as recompense for damages suffered, and, in addition to 

any deductions from distributions pursuant to Section 7.3(b), the Partnership may 

withhold (for the account of such Partners), all or any portion of distributions of 

Investment Proceeds or Temporary Investment Income that such Partner would 

otherwise receive, except to the extent of Investment Proceeds or Temporary 

Investment Income constituting a return of Capital Contributions made by such 

Defaulting Partner less any expenses, deductions or losses allocated to such 

Defaulting Partner, (ii) assess a fifty percent (50%) reduction, or such other greater or 

lesser reduction as permitted by applicable law, to the Capital Account of such 

Defaulting Partner, (iii) reduce or cancel the available Capital Commitment of the 

Defaulting Partner on such terms as the General Partner determines in its discretion 

(which may include leaving such Defaulting Partner obligated to make Capital 

Contributions with respect to Partnership Expenses); provided that the Capital

Commitment of UST shall be reduced to the extent necessary to comply with Section 

3.1(g) and (iv) institute proceedings against the Defaulting Partner to recover any 

unrecouped Defaulted Amount. Any amounts withheld from the Defaulting Partner 

by the Partnership pursuant to clause (i) above shall be allocated and distributed to the 
42

other Partners (other than UST) (A) in proportion to their respective Percentage 

Interests attributable to the Investment or Temporary Investment giving rise to such 

distribution, or (B) if such distribution is not attributable to an Investment or 

Temporary Investment, in proportion to their respective proportionate interests in the 

Partnership property or funds that produced such proceeds, as reasonably determined 

by the General Partner, or (C) in the case of a distribution upon dissolution, in 

proportion to the final distributions to them pursuant to Section 8.3. Any reductions 

in the Capital Accounts pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be allocated among the

non-defaulting Partners (other than UST) that made Capital Contributions in respect 

of such Investment or Temporary Investment in proportion to such Capital 

Contribution. The Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted pursuant to 

Article IX to take account of changes to the Partners' Capital Accounts pursuant to 

this Section 7.3(e).

(f) The General Partner shall have the right in its sole discretion to 

prohibit a Defaulting Partner from making any further Capital Contributions 

(including any Capital Contributions to be applied toward the Investment or 

Temporary Investment, if any, with respect to which such Defaulting Partner initially 

defaulted) to the Partnership with respect to any Investment or Temporary 

Investment. Each such Defaulting Partner shall remain fully liable to the Partnership 

for its obligations hereunder, to the extent provided by law and subject to the 

limitations of this Agreement, as if such default had not occurred and shall be 

responsible for all expenses related to its default.

(g) The General Partner shall have full power, in its sole discretion,

without prejudice to any other rights or remedies the General Partner or the 

Partnership may have to require a Defaulting Partner (other than UST) to sell to the 

other Partners (other than Defaulting Partners) who wish to purchase, on a pro rata

basis based on their respective Capital Commitments, such Defaulting Partner's 

Interest at a purchase price equal to the lesser of (x) the original cost of such 

Defaulting Partner's Interest and (y) such price as the General Partner determines in 

its discretion is fair and reasonable under the circumstances. For the avoidance of 

doubt, any sales and purchases of Interests pursuant to this Section 7.3(g) shall be 

subject to the transfer restrictions of Section 7.2, including, without limitation, the 

requirement of prior written consent from UST.

(h) The remedies set forth in this Section 7.3 shall not be exclusive of 

any other remedy which the Partnership or the Partners may have at law or in equity 

or under this Agreement against a Defaulting Partner (other than UST).

7.4. Further Actions. The General Partner shall, without the consent of any 

Limited Partner, cause this Agreement to be amended to reflect as appropriate the occurrence of 

any of the transactions referred to in this Article VII as promptly as is practicable after such 

occurrence.

7.5. Admissions and Withdrawals Generally. Except as expressly provided in 

this Agreement, no Partner shall have the right to withdraw from the Partnership or to withdraw 
43

any part of its Capital Account and no additional Partner may be admitted to the Partnership. 

The names and addresses of all Persons admitted as Partners and their status as General Partner 

or a Limited Partner shall be maintained in the records of the Partnership. 

ARTICLE VIII

Term and Dissolution of the Partnership

8.1. Term. (a) The term of the Partnership commenced on the date of filing of 

record of the Certificate of Limited Partnership in the office of the Secretary of State of the State 

of Delaware pursuant to the Act and shall continue until the Partnership is dissolved, which 

dissolution shall occur upon the first of any of the following events (each an “Event of 

Dissolution”):

(i) The close of business on the eight-year anniversary of the 

Closing Date; provided that, unless the Partnership is sooner dissolved, the 

General Partner in its discretion may with the prior written consent of UST 

extend the term of the Partnership for consecutive periods of up to oneyear each up to a maximum of two (2) years;

(ii) The occurrence of a Disabling Event with respect to the 

General Partner or any other event that causes the General Partner to cease 

to be general partner of the Partnership under the Act; provided that the 

Partnership shall not be dissolved if (x) at the time of the occurrence of 

such event there is at least one remaining general partner of the 

Partnership who is hereby authorized to and does carry on the business of 

the Partnership or (y) within ninety (90) calendar days after such event, 

UST agrees in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to 

the admission, effective as of the date of such event, of a successor general 

partner which is hereby authorized to continue the Partnership without 

dissolution and shall be deemed to have agreed to convert the interest of 

the disabled General Partner in the manner specified in Section 7.1(d);

(iii) After the expiration or termination of the Investment Period, 

upon the sale, disposition or liquidation of all of the Investments and 

Temporary Investments;

(iv) The determination of the General Partner in good faith that 

such earlier dissolution and termination is necessary or advisable because 

there has been a change in any applicable law, regulation, rule or 

governmental order (including the promulgation or modification of 

judicial, legal or regulatory interpretation of any law, regulation or 

governmental order) that would materially adversely impact (A) the 

General Partner or its Affiliates (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, 

changes in law related to “carried interest,” which adversely affect the 

U.S. federal, state or local tax treatment of distributions of “carried 

interest” or other incentive compensation to the General Partner and its 
44

Affiliates or their direct or indirect owners from the Private Vehicles) or 

(B) at least a Majority in Interest of the Private Investors or their 

Affiliates, as a result of their management of, or participation in, the 

Partnership, as applicable; 

(v) The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership 

under Section 17-802 of the Act; or

(vi) At any time that there are no limited partners of the 

Partnership, unless the business of the Partnership is continued in 

accordance with the Act.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the provisions of Section 

3.1(a), the obligation of Partners to make Capital Contributions (i) for Investments 

with respect to which the Partnership (or the General Partner or one or more of its 

Affiliates on behalf of the Partnership) has entered into a legally binding obligation to 

invest prior to an Event of Dissolution and (ii) for the Partnership’s obligations under 

any Partnership Indebtedness outstanding prior to an Event of Dissolution, shall 

survive such Event of Dissolution.

8.2. Winding-up. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Dissolution, the 

Partnership shall be wound up and liquidated. The General Partner or, if there is no general 

partner or the dissolution results from the occurrence of a Disabling Event, a liquidator appointed 

by UST, shall proceed with the Dissolution Sale and the Final Distribution. In the event that a 

liquidator other than the General Partner is appointed pursuant to the preceding sentence, the 

Partnership shall no longer pay the UST Management Fee to the General Partner pursuant to 

Section 6.2. In the Dissolution Sale, the General Partner or such liquidator shall use its 

reasonable best efforts to reduce to cash and cash equivalent items such assets of the Partnership 

as the General Partner or such liquidator shall deem it advisable to sell, subject to obtaining fair 

value for such assets and any tax, legal, contractual, market or other considerations, over such 

time as is reasonably necessary to settle gradually and close the Partnership’s business under the 

circumstances then applicable to the Partnership.

8.3. Final Distribution. During and after the Dissolution Sale, the proceeds 

thereof and the other assets of the Partnership shall be distributed in one or more installments in 

the following order of priority:

(a) To satisfy all creditors of the Partnership (including the payment 

of expenses of the winding-up, liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership), 

including Partners who are creditors of the Partnership, to the extent otherwise 

permitted by law, either by the payment thereof or the making of reasonable provision 

therefor (including the establishment of reserves, in amounts established by the 

General Partner or such liquidator); and

(b) The remaining proceeds, if any, plus any remaining assets of the 

Partnership, shall be applied and distributed to the Partners in accordance with the 

positive balances of the Partners’ Capital Accounts, as determined after taking into 
45

account all adjustments to Capital Accounts for the Partnership taxable year during 

which the liquidation occurs, by the end of such taxable year or, if later, within ninety 

(90) calendar days after the date of such liquidation; provided that liquidating 

distributions shall be made in the same manner and amounts as distributions under 

Section 3.5 if such distributions would result in the Partners receiving a different 

amount than would have been received pursuant to a liquidating distribution based on 

Capital Account balances. For purposes of the application of this Section 8.3 and 

determining Capital Accounts on liquidation, all unrealized gains, losses, accrued 

income, deductions and credits of the Partnership shall be treated as realized and 

recognized immediately before the date of distribution.

8.4. Noteholder Clawback. If as of the Clawback Determination Date, 

distributions of UST Warrant Proceeds to the Noteholder have been made with respect to any 

Partner and the aggregate distributions of UST Warrant Proceeds with respect to such Partner 

exceed the product of (i) the Warrant Percentage and (ii) the sum of (A) the Cumulative Net 

Distributions with respect to such Partner and (B) the aggregate distributions of UST Warrant

Proceeds to the Noteholder with respect to such Partner (such excess, the “Clawback Amount”), 

determined after giving effect to all transactions through the Clawback Determination Date, then 

the Noteholder shall be obligated to return the Adjusted Clawback Amount promptly to the 

Partnership first, out of payments from such Partner’s sub-account in the Escrow Account under 

Section 3.6, second, out of any unused amount in any other Partner’s sub-account in the Escrow 

Account (calculated, for the avoidance of doubt, after applying the provisions of this Section 8.4 

to such other Partner) and thereafter, to the extent there is any remaining balance payable to such 

Partner, out of payments made directly to the Partnership by the Noteholder. The payment of 

such amount to the Partnership shall constitute full satisfaction by the Noteholder of its 

obligation under this Section 8.4 in respect of such Partner. Subject to the Act and Section 

7.3(e), the Partnership shall distribute any amount so returned to such Limited Partner.

ARTICLE IX

Capital Accounts and Allocations of Profits and Losses

9.1. Capital Accounts. (a) A separate capital account (the “Capital Account”) 

shall be established and maintained for each Partner. The Capital Account of each Partner shall 

be credited with such Partner’s Capital Contributions (for the avoidance of doubt, net of 

liabilities assumed by the Partnership and the liabilities to which such property is subject), all 

Profits allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 9.2 and any items of income, gain or credit 

which are specially allocated pursuant to Section 9.3 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement; 

and shall be debited with all Losses allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 9.2, any items 

of loss, deduction or credit of the Partnership specially allocated to such Partner pursuant to 

Section 9.3 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, and all cash and the Carrying Value of any 

property (net of liabilities assumed by such Partner and the liabilities to which such property is 

subject) distributed by the Partnership to such Partner. To the extent not provided for in the 

preceding sentence, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted and maintained in 

accordance with the rules of United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), as the 

same may be amended or revised; provided that such adjustment and maintenance does not have 
46

a material adverse effect on the economic interests of the Partners. Any references in any section 

of this Agreement to the Capital Account of a Partner shall be deemed to refer to such Capital 

Account as the same may be credited or debited from time to time as set forth above. In the 

event of any transfer of any Interest in the Partnership in accordance with the terms of this 

Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it 

relates to the transferred Interest.

(b) Except as provided in Section 8.4, no Partner shall be required to 

pay to the Partnership or to any other Person the amount of any negative balance 

which may exist from time to time in such Partner’s Capital Account, including at the 

time of liquidation of the Partnership.

9.2. Allocations of Profits and Losses. Except as otherwise provided in this 

Agreement, Profits, Losses and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss, 

deduction and credit of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Capital Accounts of the 

Partners in a manner that as closely as possible gives economic effect to the provisions of 

Articles III and VIII and the other relevant provisions of this Agreement.

9.3. Special Allocation Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision in this 

Article IX:

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in 

Partnership Minimum Gain or Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined 

in accordance with the principles of United States Treasury Regulations Sections 

1.704-2(d) and 1.704-2(i)) during any Partnership taxable year, the Partners shall be 

specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if 

necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to their respective shares of such net 

decrease during such year, determined pursuant to United States Treasury 

Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5). The items to be so allocated shall 

be determined in accordance with United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-

2(f). This Section 9.3(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback 

requirements in such United States Treasury Regulations Sections and shall be 

interpreted consistently therewith; including that no chargeback shall be required to 

the extent of the exceptions provided in United States Treasury Regulations Sections 

1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4).

(b) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly 

receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in United States 

Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Partnership 

income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Limited Partner in an amount and 

manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Partner as 

quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 9.3(b) shall be 

made only to the extent that a Partner would have a deficit balance in its Adjusted 

Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this 

Article IX have been tentatively made as if this Section 9.3(b) were not in this 

Agreement. This Section 9.3(b) is intended to qualify with the “qualified income

offset” requirement of the United States Treasury Regulations.
47

(c) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Limited Partner has a 

deficit Capital Account at the end of any taxable year of the Partnership which is in 

excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Partner is obligated to restore, if any, 

pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Partner is 

deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of United 

States Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such 

Limited Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in 

the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant

to this Section 9.3(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that a Limited Partner 

would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations 

provided for in this Article IX have been tentatively made as if Section 9.3(b) and this 

Section 9.3(c) were not in this Agreement.

(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be 

allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Capital Contributions.

(e) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse 

Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Partner who bears the 

economic risk of loss with respect to the liability to which such Partner Nonrecourse 

Deductions are attributable in accordance with United States Treasury Regulations 

Section 1.704-2(j).

(f) Special Allocation. Any special allocation of income or gain 

pursuant to Section 9.3(b) or (c) hereof shall be taken into account in computing 

subsequent allocations pursuant to Section 9.2 and this Section 9.3(f), so that the net 

amount of any items so allocated and all other items allocated to each Partner shall, to 

the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each 

Partner if such allocations pursuant to Section 9.3(b) or (c) had not occurred.

(g) UST Management Fee Expense. UST Management Fee expense 

shall be allocated solely to UST.

9.4. Tax Allocations. For income tax purposes only, each item of income, gain, 

loss, deduction and credit of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners in the same 

manner as the corresponding items of Profits and Losses and specially allocated items are 

allocated for Capital Account purposes; provided that in the case of any Partnership asset the 

Carrying Value of which differs from its adjusted tax basis for United States federal income tax 

purposes, income, gain, loss, deduction and credit with respect to such asset shall be allocated 

solely for income tax purposes in accordance with the principles of Sections 704(b) and (c) of the 

Code (in any manner determined by the General Partner) so as to take account of the difference 

between Carrying Value and adjusted basis of such asset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 

General Partner may make such allocations as it deems reasonably necessary to give economic 

effect to the provisions of this Agreement, taking into account such facts and circumstances as it

deems reasonably necessary for this purpose.

9.5. Other Allocation Provisions. The foregoing provisions and the other 

provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to 
48

comply with United States Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704 of the Code and 

shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such regulations. All matters 

concerning the computation of Capital Accounts, the allocation of Profit (and items thereof) and 

Loss (and items thereof), the allocation of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and 

credit for tax purposes, the making of any elections and the adoption of any accounting 

procedures not expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by the 

General Partner in its reasonable discretion.

9.6. Tax Advances. To the extent the General Partner reasonably determines 

that the Partnership (or any entity in which the Partnership holds an interest) is required by law 

to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Partner (other than UST) 

(e.g., backup withholding taxes) (“Tax Advances”), the General Partner may withhold or escrow 

such amounts and make such tax payments as so required. All Tax Advances made on behalf of 

a Partner (other than UST) shall, at the option of the General Partner, (i) be promptly paid to the 

Partnership by the Partner on whose behalf such Tax Advances were made or (ii) be repaid by 

reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions which would 

otherwise have been made to such Partner or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that 

purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation of the Partnership otherwise payable to such 

Partner. Whenever the General Partner selects option (ii) pursuant to the preceding sentence for 

repayment of a Tax Advance by a Partner (other than UST), for all other purposes of this 

Agreement such Partner shall be treated as having received all distributions (whether before or 

upon liquidation of the Partnership) unreduced by the amount of such Tax Advance. To the 

fullest extent permitted by law, each Partner (other than UST) hereby agrees to indemnify and 

hold harmless the Partnership and the other Partners from and against any liability (including, 

without limitation, any liability for taxes, penalties, additions to tax or interest) with respect to 

income attributable to or distributions or other payments to such Partner. In the event the 

Partnership is liquidated and a liability is asserted by a governmental authority against the 

General Partner or any member or officer of the General Partner for Tax Advances made or 

required to be made, the General Partner shall have the right to be reimbursed from the Limited 

Partner (other than UST) on whose behalf such Tax Advance was made or required to be made.

mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement, note or other evidence of

Miscellaneous

11.1. Amendments. This Agreement may only be amended or supplemented by 

the written consent of each of the General Partner and UST; provided that the General Partner 

may, without the consent of UST or any other Limited Partner, amend Schedule B in connection 

with Subsequent Closings of the Partnership.

11.2. Private Vehicle and Feeder Vehicle Documents and Side Letters; MFN. 

(a) The offering materials (“Offering Materials”) and governing documents (“Private 

Vehicle Governing Documents”) of the Private Vehicles and the Feeder Vehicles, together with 

any side letters entered into by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates with any Private 

Vehicle, Feeder Vehicle or Private Investors (“Side Letters”) will be subject to the review and 

approval of UST (it being understood that such documents have been prepared by parties other 

than UST and notwithstanding any such review and approval, UST takes no responsibility 

therefor); provided that any amendment or supplement to the Private Vehicle Governing 

Documents or any Side Letter shall only require the consent of UST to the extent that such 

amendment or supplement would adversely affect UST, the Partnership or the Partnership’s 

investment activities (for the avoidance of doubt, each Private Vehicle Governing Document and 

Side Letter, and any amendment or supplement thereto, shall promptly be furnished to UST 

without regard to whether UST’s consent is required). Any Offering Materials used to market a 

direct or indirect interest in a Private Vehicle, a Feeder Vehicle or the Partnership shall include 

in a prominent place a legend in substantially the same form as the legend on Schedule D. Any 

consent or approval required from UST pursuant to this Section 11.2(a) shall, subject to 
61

applicable law, regulation or governmental order, not be unreasonably withheld. The General 

Partner shall promptly provide copies of any proposed amendment or supplement to the Private 

Vehicle Governing Documents or any Side Letter to UST as well as the execution version, if

any Private Vehicle Governing Documents and any Side Letters that have the effect 

of benefiting any Private Vehicle, Feeder Vehicle or Private Investor (other than the 

General Partner and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors or 

employees) in a manner more favorable than the rights and benefits established in 

favor of UST by this Agreement, other than any rights or benefits established in favor 

of any Private Investor by reason of the fact that such investor is subject to any laws, 

rules or regulations to which UST is not also subject. 

11.3. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other agreements referred to 

herein constitute the entire agreement among the Partners with respect to the subject matter 

hereof and supersede any prior agreement or understanding among or between them with respect 

to such subject matter. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement (including Section 

11.1), the parties hereto acknowledge that, subject to Section 11.2, the General Partner (on its 

own behalf or on behalf of the Partnership) and its Affiliates may enter into Side Letters with any 

Private Vehicle, Feeder Vehicle or Private Investor without the approval of any Limited Partner 

(other than UST) or any other Person which have the effect of establishing rights under, or 

altering or supplementing the terms of, this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that any terms 

contained in a Side Letter to or with a Private Vehicle, Feeder Vehicle or Private Investor shall 

govern with respect to such Private Vehicle, Feeder Vehicle or Private Investor notwithstanding 

the provisions of this Agreement. 

11.4. Severability. 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 this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid 

or unenforceable and contrary to the Act 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.

courier, (iii) posted on the Partnership’s intranet website in accordance with Section 11.5(b) or

last designated by notice to the Partnership, and in the case of a change in address by the General 

Partner, by notice to the Limited Partners; provided that UST may only receive notices, reports, 

requests, demands and other communications hereunder pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii). 
62

by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, when actually received, (ii) if sent by 

overnight mail or courier, when actually received, (iii) if posted on the Partnership’s intranet 

website in accordance with Section 11.5(b), on the day an e-mail is sent to the Limited Partner

Eastern Standard Time or on a day that is not a Business Day, such notice shall be deemed 

received on the next succeeding Business Day and (iv) if delivered by hand, when actually 

received. On or prior to the date of each Limited Partner’s admission to the Partnership, the 

General Partner shall furnish each Limited Partner with the address of the Partnership’s intranet

website and a password permitting access by such Limited Partner thereto. 

(b) The General Partner may, in its discretion, provide any notice,

such Limited Partner notifying it of such posting. 

11.6. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by 

and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (subject to applicable federal 

law). In particular, the Partnership is formed pursuant to the Act, and the rights and liabilities of

Partners hereby submit to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of either the federal courts of the State of 

Delaware or the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in any action suit or proceeding based on or 

arising under this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Limited Partners 

hereby waive as a defense that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in such courts has 

been brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate and, 

furthermore, agree that venue in the State of Delaware for any such action, suit or proceeding is 

appropriate. 

11.7. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Partners hereby irrevocably waives, 

to the fullest extent permitted by requirements of law, any and all right to trial by jury in 

any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions 

contemplated hereby.

of which the other Partners have been notified and (b) service of process to UST in any action or

Partnership shall not make an election pursuant to Section 1278(b) of the Code.

11.15. Other PPIF LPAs and PPIF Loan Documents. The terms and conditions

COMPLIANCE RULES 

ARTICLE I

1.1. Compliance with Law; Fiduciary Duty. (a) Each of the General Partner, 

the Partnership, the Private Vehicles and the Subadvisors (with respect to each such Subadvisor’s 

activities in connection with the Partnership) shall comply in all respects with (to the extent such 

law, guidance or regulation is applicable pursuant to its terms to any of the foregoing) (i) Section 

111 of EESA, as implemented by any guidance or regulation issued from time to time by 

Treasury thereunder, including 31 CFR Part 30 (the “Interim Final Rule”), (ii) EAWA, as 

implemented by any guidance or regulation issued from time to time by Treasury thereunder, and 

(iii) all other applicable laws and regulations. 

(b) In accordance with the Interim Final Rule, and subject to the 

requirements of Section 1.1(a), (i) the Partnership shall have an excessive or luxury 

expenditures policy (a “Luxury Expense Policy”) covering Partnership Expenses, (ii) to the 

extent that a Private Vehicle holds 50% or more of the Interests in the Partnership (as 

determined on the basis of Capital Commitments), such Private Vehicle shall have a Luxury 

Expense Policy covering its expenses and (iii) to the extent that the General Partner holds 

50% or more of the Interests in the Partnership (as determined on the basis of Capital 

Commitments), the General Partner shall have a Luxury Expense Policy covering General 

Partner Expenses. For purposes of this Section 1.1(b), the term “TARP Recipient” shall 

mean the Partnership and any entity covered by clause (ii) or (iii) of the previous sentence. 

No later than ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date, the General Partner shall (i) 

cause each TARP Recipient to adopt a Luxury Expense Policy, (ii) provide each such 

Luxury Expense Policy to UST and (iii) post the text of each such Luxury Expense Policy 

on the Internet website of (A) one or more members of the General Partner Group or (B) the 

corporate parent of the General Partner. The General Partner shall cause each TARP 

Recipient to maintain a Luxury Expense Policy during the term of the Partnership. If, after 

adopting a Luxury Expense Policy, a TARP Recipient makes any material amendments to 

such Luxury Expense Policy, within ninety (90) calendar days of the adoption of such 

amended Luxury Expense Policy, the General Partner shall (i) provide such amended 

Luxury Expense Policy to UST and (ii) post the text of such amended Luxury Expense 

Policy on the Internet website of the corporate parent of the General Partner or the member 

of the General Partner Group, as applicable, if such Person maintains an Internet website. 

(c) Each of the General Partner and the Subadvisors, with respect to the 

General Partner’s and each Subadvisor’s respective activities in connection with the 

Partnership, shall comply in all respects with the Advisers Act, including, but not limited to, 

its antifraud provisions and its rules regarding record keeping, contracts, advertising, 

custody of client funds and assets, disclosure and transparency. For the avoidance of doubt, 

unless the Advisers Act or rules promulgated thereunder require such registration, this 

Section 1.1(c) shall not require the General Partner or any Subadvisor to register as an 

investment advisor under the Advisers Act; provided that the Related RIA maintains its 

registration with the SEC as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act during the term 

of the Partnership.
(d) Each of the General Partner and each Subadvisor that manages Eligible 

Assets of the Partnership on a discretionary basis (each such Subadvisor, a “Discretionary 

Subadvisor”), hereby agrees, based on its analysis and judgment and subject to the overall 

objective of maximizing the value of the Partnership’s investments and its fiduciary duties, 

(i) to consent, on behalf of the Partnership, to reasonable requests from servicers or trustees 

for approval to participate in UST’s Making Home Affordable Program (“Making Home

Affordable”), or for approval to implement other reasonable loss mitigation measures 

(including, but not limited to, term extensions, rate reductions, principal write downs or 

removal of caps on the percentage of loans that may be modified within the securitization 

structure) and (ii) where the Partnership acquires 100% of the residential mortgage-backed 

securities that are backed by a particular pool of residential mortgage loans, to instruct the 

servicer or trustee of such securities, if such servicer or trustee is participating in Making 

Home Affordable, to include such pool of residential mortgage loans in Making Home

Affordable. The General Partner or Discretionary Subadvisor, as applicable, shall only be 

required to so consent or instruct (as applicable) if it receives reasonably requested 

information from the servicer or the trustee (as applicable) and access to appropriate 

individuals at the servicer or the trustee (as applicable) which, in the aggregate are 

sufficient, in the reasonable judgment of the General Partner or Discretionary Subadvisor, 

as applicable, to enable the General Partner or Discretionary Subadvisor, as applicable, to 

form an independent conclusion that the consent or instruction (as applicable) is consistent 

with the General Partner’s or Discretionary Subadvisor’s duties to the Partnership. For the 

avoidance of doubt, the Partnership shall be eligible to receive its share of any standard 

investor subsidies payable to it under Making Home Affordable and UST’s Home 

Affordable Modification Program.

(e) The General Partner hereby acknowledges that it has fiduciary duties to 

the Limited Partners as described in Section 4.4(d) of this Agreement.

the Limited Partners, including UST.

Subadvisor, as applicable, shall obtain the written consent of UST. The General Partner or 

the Discretionary Subadvisor, as applicable, shall deliver a copy of any Policy Amendment

Execution Policy and the other terms of the Partnership Agreement as they relate to the 

Compliance Rules and (iii) has authority to direct compliance with the Partnership’s

internationally recognized accounting firm reasonably acceptable to UST produced under

Subadvisor’s summary of the Type II SAS 70 report, including disclosure of any instances 

in which the accounting firm which performs the Type II SAS 70 Report has qualified such 

report. The General Partner and Discretionary Subadvisor shall use commercially 

reasonable efforts to provide the Compliance Audit Report to UST and SIGTARP within 

one hundred twenty (120) calendar days of the end of each Fiscal Year of the Partnership;

of any Private Investor) may not exceed 9.9% of aggregate Capital Commitments of the Private 

Vehicles and the General Partner (other than as a result of the withdrawal of a Private Investor 

from a Private Vehicle or a Feeder Vehicle or the default of a Private Investor in a Private

dissolution of the Partnership. The General Partner shall provide UST and its advisors and 

representatives reasonable access to in electronic form, and copies upon request of, the

the Partnership, the Private Vehicles and any Feeder Vehicles) or the clients of any separate 

accounts for which any member of the General Partner Group acts as the manager or 

primary source of investments.
