other documents, without any consent of any Limited Partner, but such authorization shall not be deemed a restriction on the power of the Partnership or the General Partner and/or any Authorized Person acting on behalf of the Partnership to enter
into, and to perform its obligations under, other agreements on behalf of the Partnership. The Partners agree that the General Partner and/or any Authorized Person may execute the aforementioned agreements, deeds, receipts, certificates, filings and
other documents on behalf of the Partnership under any title, including without limitation “Authorized Person,” that the General Partner or any Authorized Person, or any of them, deems appropriate and that any prior acts of the Partnership

ARTICLE IV 

DISTRIBUTIONS 

Section 4.01. Distributions. 

(a) All distributions of Distributable Cash shall be made, at the discretion of the General Partner, to the Limited Partners pro rata in
accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. 
 (b) Tax Distributions. 

(i) In addition to the foregoing, if the General Partner reasonably determines that the taxable income of the Partnership for a Fiscal
Year will give rise to taxable income for the Partners (“Net Taxable Income”), the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute Distributable Cash in respect of income tax liabilities (the “Tax
Distributions”) to the extent that other distributions made by the Partnership for such year were otherwise insufficient to cover such tax liabilities, provided that distributions pursuant to Section 4.02 and allocations pursuant to
Section 5.04 related to such distributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of this Section 4.01(b). The Tax Distributions payable with respect to any Fiscal Year shall be computed based upon the General Partner’s estimate
of the allocable Net Taxable Income in accordance with Article V, multiplied by the Assumed Tax Rate (the “Tax Amount”). For purposes of computing the Tax Amount, the effect of any benefit under Section 743(b) of the Code will
be ignored. Any Tax Distributions shall be made to all Partners, whether or not they are subject to such applicable United States federal, state and local taxes, pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interest. 

(ii) Tax Distributions shall be calculated and paid no later than one day prior to each quarterly due date for the payment by
corporations on a calendar year of estimated taxes under the Code in the following manner (A) for the first quarterly period, 25% of the Tax Amount, (B) for the second quarterly period, 50% of the Tax Amount, less the prior Tax
Distributions for the Fiscal Year, (C) for the third quarterly period, 75% of the Tax Amount, less the prior Tax Distributions for the Fiscal Year and (D) for the fourth quarterly period, 100% of the Tax Amount, less the prior Tax
Distributions for the Fiscal Year. Following each Fiscal Year, and no later than one day prior to the due date for the payment by corporations of income taxes for such Fiscal Year, the General Partner shall make an amended calculation of the Tax
Amount for such Fiscal Year (the “Amended Tax Amount”), and shall cause the Partnership to distribute a 

 

 11 








 
Tax Distribution, out of Distributable Cash, to the extent that the Amended Tax Amount so calculated exceeds the cumulative Tax Distributions previously made by the Partnership in respect of such
Fiscal Year. If the Amended Tax Amount is less than the cumulative Tax Distributions previously made by the Partnership in respect of the relevant Fiscal Year, then the difference (the “Credit Amount”) shall be applied against, and
shall reduce, the amount of Tax Distributions made for subsequent Fiscal Years. Within 30 days following the date on which the Partnership files a tax return on Form 1065, the General Partner shall make a final calculation of the Tax Amount of such
Fiscal Year (the “Final Tax Amount”) and shall cause the Partnership to distribute a Tax Distribution, out of Distributable Cash, to the extent that the Final Tax Amount so calculated exceeds the Amended Tax Amount. If the Final Tax
Amount is less than the Amended Tax Amount in respect of the relevant Fiscal Year, then the difference (“Additional Credit Amount”) shall be applied against, and shall reduce, the amount of Tax Distributions made for subsequent
Fiscal Years. Any Credit Amount and Additional Credit Amount applied against future Tax Distributions shall be treated as an amount actually distributed pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) for purposes of the computations herein. 

(c) 2007 Distributions. The Partners acknowledge that all distributions of Distributable Cash made in 2007 were governed by
Article IV of the Second Amended Agreement and the terms of such Article IV of the Second Amended Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by reference, shall govern with respect to all distributions made in 2007. 

Section 4.02. Liquidation Distribution. Distributions made upon dissolution of the Partnership shall be made as
provided in Section 9.03. 
 Section 4.03. Limitations on Distribution. Notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, the General Partner shall not make a Partnership distribution to any Partner if such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable Law. 

ARTICLE V 

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS; 

TAX ALLOCATIONS; TAX MATTERS 

Section 5.01. Initial Capital Contributions. The Partners have made, on or prior to the date hereof, Capital
Contributions and have acquired the number of Class A Units as specified in the books and records of the Partnership. 

Section 5.02. No Additional Capital Contributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Article V, no Partner shall be
required to make additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership without the consent of such Partner or permitted to make additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership without the consent of the General Partner. 

Section 5.03. Capital Accounts. A separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) shall be established
and maintained for each Partner in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). The Capital Account of each Partner shall be credited with such Partner’s Capital Contributions, if any, all Profits
allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.04 and any items of income or gain which are specially allocated pursuant to Section 

 

 12 








 
5.05; and shall be debited with all Losses allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.04, any items of loss or deduction of the Partnership specially allocated to such Partner pursuant
to Section 5.05, 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. 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.

 Section 5.04. Allocations of Profits and Losses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Profits
and Losses (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain or loss or deduction of the Partnership) shall be allocated in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Partner after giving effect to the special allocations set forth
in Section 5.05 is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to (i) the distributions that would be made pursuant to Article IV if the Partnership were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their
Carrying Value, all Partnership liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each non-recourse liability to the Carrying Value of the assets securing such liability) and the net assets of the Partnership were distributed to the Partners
pursuant to this Agreement, minus (ii) such Partner’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
General Partner shall make such adjustments to Capital Accounts as it determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate to ensure allocations are made in accordance with a Partner’s interest in the Partnership. 

Section 5.05. Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article V: 

(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 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 Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in
accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 5.05(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in such Treasury Regulations Sections and shall be interpreted consistently therewith;
including that no chargeback shall be required to the extent of the exceptions provided in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4). 

(b) Qualified Income Offset. If any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the deficit balance in such Partner’s
Adjusted Capital Account Balance created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as promptly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.05(b) shall be made only to the extent that a Partner would have a
deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been tentatively made 

 

 13 








 
as if this Section 5.05(b) were not in this Agreement. This Section 5.05(b) is intended to comply with the “qualified income offset” requirement of the Code and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith. 
 (c) Gross Income Allocation. If any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the
end of any Fiscal Year 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 Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such 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 5.05(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that a Partner would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article V
have been tentatively made as if Section 5.05(b) and this Section 5.05(c) were not in this Agreement. 
 (d)
Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. 

(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 Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(j). 

(f) Creditable Foreign Taxes. Creditable Foreign Taxes for any taxable period attributable to the Partnership, or an entity owned
directly or indirectly by the Partnership, shall be allocated to the Partners in proportion to the Partners’ distributive shares of income (including income allocated pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code) to which the Creditable Foreign
Tax relates (under principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.904-6). The provisions of this Section 5.05(f) are intended to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(viii), and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith. 
 (g) Ameliorative Allocations. Any special allocations of income or gain pursuant to
Section 5.05(b) or (c) hereof shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations pursuant to Section 5.04 and this Section 5.05(g), 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 5.05(b) or (c) had not occurred. 

Section 5.06. Tax Allocations. For income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction 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 asset the
Carrying Value of which differs from its adjusted tax basis for United States federal income tax purposes, income, gain, loss and deduction 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 and permitted by the Code and Treasury Regulations) so as to take account of the difference between Carrying Value and adjusted basis of such
asset. 
  

 14 








 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall make such allocations for tax purposes as it determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate to ensure allocations are made in
accordance with a Partner’s interest in the Partnership. 
 Section 5.07. Tax Advances. To the extent
the General Partner reasonably believes that the Partnership is required by law to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Partner or the Partnership is subjected to tax itself by reason of the status of any Partner
(“Tax Advances”), the General Partner may withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as so required. All Tax Advances made on behalf of a Partner shall 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 otherwise payable to such Partner. For all purposes of this
Agreement such Partner shall be treated as having received the amount of the distribution that is equal to the Tax Advance. Each Partner 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 other than any penalties, additions to tax or interest imposed as a result of the Partnership’s failure to withhold or make a tax payment
on behalf of such Partner which withholding or payment is required pursuant to applicable Law but only to the extent amounts sufficient to pay such taxes were not timely distributed to the Partner pursuant to Section 4.01(b)) with respect to
income attributable to or distributions or other payments to such Partner. 
 Section 5.08. Tax Matters. The
General Partner shall be the initial “tax matters partner” within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (the “Tax Matters Partner”). The Partnership shall file as a partnership for federal, state, provincial
and local income tax purposes, except where otherwise required by Law. All elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership, and all other tax decisions and determinations relating to federal, state, provincial or local tax matters of
the Partnership, shall be made by the Tax Matters Partner, in consultation with the Partnership’s attorneys and/or accountants. Tax audits, controversies and litigations shall be conducted under the direction of the Tax Matters Partner. The Tax
Matters Partner shall keep the other Partners reasonably informed as to any tax actions, examinations or proceedings relating to the Partnership and shall submit to the other Partners, for their review and comment, any settlement or compromise offer
with respect to any disputed item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Partnership. As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Partnership shall send to each Partner a copy of United States Internal Revenue
Service Schedule K-1, and any comparable statements required by applicable United States state or local income tax Law as a result of the Partnership’s activities or investments, with respect to such Fiscal Year. The Partnership also shall
provide the Partners with such other information as may be reasonably requested for purposes of allowing the Partners to prepare and file their own tax returns. The Partnership shall use any reasonable method or combination of methods in accordance
with Section 706(d) of the Code for the purpose of allocating or specifically allocating items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes to account for the varying interests of the Partners
for the Fiscal Year. 
 Section 5.09. Other Allocation Provisions. Certain of the foregoing provisions and
the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1 (b) and shall be interpreted and applied in

  

 15 








 
a manner consistent with such regulations. Section 5.03, Section 5.04 and Section 5.05 may be amended at any time by the General Partner if the General Partner believes such
amendment is advisable, so long as any such amendment does not materially change the relative economic interests of the Partners. Furthermore, the General Partner shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its subsidiaries to make adjustments to
Capital Accounts to reflect an adjustment to the carrying value of such subsidiaries assets consistent with the adjustments to Carrying Values of the Partnerships assets hereunder. 

ARTICLE VI 

BOOKS AND RECORDS; REPORTS

purpose reasonably related to such Limited Partner’s interest as a Limited Partner in the Partnership, upon reasonable written demand stating the purpose of such demand and at such Limited Partner’s own expense: 

(i) a copy of the Certificate and this Agreement and all amendments thereto, together with a copy of the executed copies of all powers
of attorney pursuant to which the Certificate and this Agreement and all amendments thereto have been executed; and 
 (ii)
promptly after their becoming available, copies of the Partnership’s federal, state and local income tax returns and reports, if any, for the three most recent years. 

(c) The General Partner may keep confidential from the Limited Partners, for such period of time as the General Partner determines in its
sole discretion, (i) any information that the General Partner reasonably believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or (ii) other information the disclosure of which the General Partner believes is not in the best interests of the
Partnership, could damage the Partnership or its business or that the Partnership is required by law or by agreement with any third party to keep confidential. 

ARTICLE VII

of the holder of each such Unit or other Partnership security to vote on Partnership matters, including matters relating to the relative designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties of such Units or other Partnership securities. Except as
expressly provided in this Agreement to the contrary, any reference to “Units” shall include the Class A Units and any other Classes that may be established in accordance with this Agreement. All Units of a particular Class shall have
identical rights in all respects as all other Units of such Class, except in each case as otherwise specified in this Agreement. 

Section 7.02. Register. The register of the Partnership shall be the definitive record of ownership of each Unit and
all relevant information with respect to each Partner. Unless the General Partner shall determine otherwise, Units shall be uncertificated and recorded in the books and records of the Partnership.

(a) Except as provided in clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 8.01, no Limited Partner or Assignee thereof may Transfer
(including by exchanging in an Exchange Transaction) all or any portion of its Units or other interest in the Partnership (or beneficial interest therein) without the prior consent of the General Partner, which consent may be given or withheld, or
made subject to such conditions (including, without limitation, the receipt of such legal opinions and other documents that the General Partner may require) as are determined by the General Partner, in each case in the General Partner’s sole
discretion. Any such determination in the General Partner’s discretion in respect of Units shall be final and binding. Such determinations need not be uniform and may be made selectively among Limited Partners, whether or not such Limited
Partners are similarly situated, and shall not constitute the breach of any duty hereunder or otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise. Any purported Transfer of Units that is not in accordance with, or subsequently violates, this Agreement
shall be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, null and void. 
  

 17 








 (b) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, and subject to Section 8.03, each Limited
Partner may exchange or otherwise Transfer Units in an Exchange Transaction pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement. In the case of a Transfer of Units in connection with an Exchange Transaction, the Percentage Interests of the Limited
Partners shall be appropriately adjusted to provide for, as applicable, a decrease in the number of Units owned by the exchanging Limited Partner and an increase in the number of Units owned by APO LLC. 

(c) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, and subject to Section 8.04, each Limited Partner that is a party to a Roll-up Agreement
may exchange or otherwise Transfer Units pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof.

Transfer of a Unit be made by any Limited Partner or Assignee if: 
 (a) such Transfer is made to any Person who lacks the legal
right, power or capacity to own such Unit; 
 (b) such Transfer would require the registration of such transferred Unit or of
any Class of Unit pursuant to any applicable United States federal or state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) or other non-U.S securities laws (including Canadian provincial or territorial
securities laws) or would constitute a non-exempt distribution pursuant to applicable provincial or state securities laws; 

(c) such Transfer would cause (i) all or any portion of the assets of the Partnership to (A) constitute “plan assets”
(under ERISA, the Code or any applicable Similar Law) of any existing or contemplated Limited Partner, or (B) be subject to the provisions of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable Similar Law, or (ii) the General Partner
to become a fiduciary with respect to any existing or contemplated Limited Partner, pursuant to ERISA, any applicable Similar Law, or otherwise; 

(d) to the extent requested by the General Partner, the Partnership does not receive such legal and/or tax opinions and written
instruments (including, without limitation, copies of any instruments of Transfer and such Assignee’s consent to be bound by this Agreement as an Assignee) that are in a form satisfactory to the General Partner, as determined in the General
Partner’s sole discretion; or 
  

 18 








 (e) such Transfer would create a substantial risk that the Partnership would be classified
or otherwise treated other than as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes. 
 Section 8.04.
Rights of Assignees. Subject to Section 8.05 and Section 8.06, the transferee of any permitted Transfer pursuant to this Article VIII will be an assignee only (“Assignee”), and only will receive, to the extent
transferred, the distributions and allocations of income; gain, loss, deduction, credit or similar item to which the Partner which transferred its Units would be entitled, and such Assignee will not be entitled or enabled to exercise any other
rights or powers of a Partner, such other rights, and all obligations relating to, or in connection with, such interest remaining with the transferring Partner. The transferring Partner will remain a Partner even if it has transferred all of its
Units to one or more Assignees until such time as the Assignee(s) is admitted to the Partnership as a Partner pursuant to Section 8.05 or Section 8.06. 

Section 8.05. Admissions, Withdrawals and Removals. 

(a) No Person may be admitted to the Partnership as an additional General Partner or substitute General Partner without the prior written
consent or ratification of APO LLC. A General Partner will not be entitled to Transfer all of its Units or to withdraw from being a General Partner of the Partnership unless another General Partner shall have been admitted hereunder (and not have
previously been removed or withdrawn). 
 (b) No Limited Partner will be removed or entitled to withdraw from being a Partner of
the Partnership except in accordance with Section 8.07. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided in Article IX or the Act, no
admission, substitution, withdrawal or removal of a Partner will cause the dissolution of the Partnership. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any purported admission, withdrawal or removal that is not in accordance with this Agreement shall be
null and void. 
 Section 8.06. Admission of Assignees as Substitute Limited Partners. An Assignee will
become a substitute Limited Partner only if and when each of the following conditions is satisfied: 
 (a) the General Partner
consents in writing to such admission, which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject to such conditions as are determined by the General Partner, in each case in the General Partner’s sole discretion; 

(b) if required by the General Partner, the General Partner receives written instruments (including, without limitation, copies of any
instruments of Transfer and such Assignee’s consent to be bound by this Agreement as a substitute Limited Partner) that are in a form satisfactory to the General Partner (as determined in its sole discretion); 

(c) if required by the General Partner, the General Partner receives an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the General Partner to the
effect that such Transfer is in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable Law; and 
  

 19

pays all of the Partnership’s reasonable expenses connected with such Transfer (including, but not limited to, the reasonable legal and accounting fees of the Partnership).

determines otherwise, liquidate the assets of the Partnership as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof. The proceeds of any liquidation shall be applied and distributed in the following order: 

(a) First, to the satisfaction of debts and liabilities of the Partnership (including satisfaction of all indebtedness to Partners and/or
their Affiliates to the extent otherwise permitted by law) including the expenses of liquidation, and including the establishment of any reserve which the Liquidation Agent shall deem reasonably necessary for any contingent, conditional or unmatured
contractual liabilities or obligations of the Partnership (“Contingencies”). Any such reserve may be paid over by the Liquidation Agent to any attorney-at-law, or acceptable party, as escrow agent, to be held for disbursement in
payment of any Contingencies and, at the expiration of such period as shall be deemed advisable by the Liquidation Agent for distribution of the balance in the manner hereinafter provided in this Section 9.03; and 

(b) The balance, if any, to the Partners, pro rata to each of the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests. 

Section 9.04. Time for Liquidation. A reasonable amount of time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the
assets of the Partnership and the discharge of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Liquidation Agent to minimize the losses attendant upon such liquidation. 

Section 9.05. Termination. The Partnership shall terminate when all of the assets of the Partnership, after payment of
or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership, shall have been distributed to the holders of Units in the manner provided for in this Article IX, and the Certificate shall have been cancelled in the manner required
by the Act. 
 Section 9.06. Claims of the Partners. The Partners shall look solely to the Partnership’s
assets for the return of their Capital Contributions, and if the assets of the Partnership remaining after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership are insufficient to return such Capital
Contributions, the Partners shall have no recourse against the Partnership or any other Partner or any other Person. No Partner with a negative balance in such Partner’s Capital Account shall have any obligation to the Partnership or to the
other Partners or to any creditor or other Person to restore such negative balance during the existence of the Partnership, upon dissolution or termination of the Partnership or otherwise, except to the extent required by the Act. 

Section 9.07. Survival of Certain Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
provisions of Section 10.02 and Section 11.09 shall survive the termination of the Partnership.

 ARTICLE X 

LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION 

Section 10.01. Liability of Partners. 

(a) No Limited Partner shall be liable for any debt, obligation or liability of the Partnership or of any other Partner or have any
obligation to restore any deficit balance in its Capital Account solely by reason of being a Limited Partner of the Partnership, except to the extent required by the Act. 

(b) Except as required by law, this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duty on any of the
Partners (including without limitation, the General Partner) hereto or on their respective Affiliates. Further, the Partners hereby eliminate, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all fiduciary duties that, absent such elimination, may
exist at or be implied by Law or in equity, and in doing so, recognize, acknowledge and agree that their duties and obligations to one another and to the Partnership are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement and those required by the Act.

 (c) To the extent that, at law or in equity, any Partner (including without limitation, the General Partner) has duties
(including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or to another Partner, the Partners (including without limitation, the General Partner) acting under this Agreement will not be liable to the Partnership or to any such
other Partner for their good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities relating thereto of any Partner (including without
limitation, the General Partner) otherwise existing at law or in equity to the Partnership or the Partners, are agreed by the Partners to replace or eliminate to that extent such other duties and liabilities of the Partners relating thereto
(including without limitation, the General Partner). 
 (d) The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants and
financial or other advisors and any act or omission suffered or taken by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or in furtherance of the interests of the Partnership in good faith in reliance upon and in accordance with the advice of such
counsel, accountants or financial or other advisors will, with respect to the Partnership and the other Partners, be full justification for any such act or omission, and the General Partner will be fully protected from liability to the Partnership
and the other Partners in so acting or omitting to act so long as such counsel or accountants or financial or other advisors were selected with reasonable care. 

(e) To the fullest extent permitted by law and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any agreement contemplated herein
or otherwise applicable provision of law or equity otherwise, whenever in this Agreement the General Partner is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or under a grant of
similar authority or latitude, such General Partner shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or
factors affecting the Partnership or the Limited Partners, or (ii) in its “good faith” or under another expressed standard, such General Partner shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different
standards. 
  

 22 








 Section 10.02. Indemnification. 

(a) The General Partner (including, without limitation, for this purpose each former and present director, officer, consultant, advisor,
manager, member, employee and stockholder of the General Partner) and each Limited Partner (including any former Limited Partner), in his capacity, as such, and to the extent such Limited Partner participates, directly or indirectly, in the
Partnership’s activities (each, a “Covered Person” and collectively, the “Covered Persons”) shall not be liable to the Partnership or, to the extent applicable, to any of the other Partners for any loss, claim,
damage or liability occasioned by any acts or omissions in the performance of its services hereunder, unless it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (a “Final
Adjudication”) that such loss, claim, damage or liability is due to an act or omission of a Covered Person (i) made in bad faith or with criminal intent or (ii) that adversely affected the Partnership and that failed to satisfy
the duty of care owed pursuant to the Partnership(as modified by this Agreement). 
 (b) A Covered Person shall be indemnified
to the fullest extent permitted by law by the Partnership against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by or imposed upon him by
reason of or in connection with any action taken or omitted by such Covered Person arising out of the Covered Person’s status as a Partner or its activities on behalf of the Partnership, including in connection with any action, suit,
investigation or proceeding before any judicial, administrative, regulatory or legislative body or agency to which it may be made a party or otherwise involved or with which it shall be threatened by reason of being or having been the General
Partner or by reason of serving or having served as a director, officer, consultant, advisor, manager, member, partner, employee or stockholder of any enterprise in which the Partnership or any of its Affiliates has or had a financial interest;
provided that the Partnership may, but shall not be required to, indemnify a Covered Person with respect to any matter as to which there has been a Final Adjudication that its acts or its failure to act (i) were in bad faith or with criminal
intent, or (ii) were of a nature that makes indemnification by the relevant Affiliate unavailable. The right to indemnification granted by this Section 10.02 shall be in addition to any rights to which a Covered Person may otherwise be
entitled and shall inure to the benefit of the successors by operation of law or valid assigns of such Covered Person. The Partnership shall pay the expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, investigation
or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such, action, suit, investigation or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the Covered Person to repay such payment if there shall be a Final Adjudication that it is not entitled to
indemnification as provided herein. In any suit brought by the Covered Person to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder it shall be a defense that the Covered Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this
Section 10.02, and in any suit in the name of the Partnership to recover expenses advanced pursuant to the terms of an undertaking the Partnership shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon Final Adjudication that the Covered Person has
not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section 10.02. In any such suit brought to enforce a right to indemnification or to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving
that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified, or to an advancement of expenses, shall be on the Partnership (or any Limited Partner acting derivatively or otherwise on behalf of the Partnership or the Limited Partners). The General
Partner may not satisfy any right of indemnity or reimbursement granted in this Section 10.02 or to which it may be otherwise entitled except out of the assets of the Partnership (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds and rights
pursuant to indemnification agreements), and 
  

 23 








 
no Partner shall be personally liable with respect to any such claim for indemnity or reimbursement. The General Partner may enter into appropriate indemnification agreements and/or arrangements
reflective of the provisions of this Section 10.02 and obtain appropriate insurance coverage on behalf and at the expense of the Partnership to secure the Partnership’s indemnification obligations hereunder and may enter into appropriate
indemnification agreements and/or arrangements reflective of the provisions of this Section 10.02. Each Covered Person shall be deemed a third party beneficiary (to the extent not a direct party hereto) to this Agreement and, in particular, the
provisions of this Section 10.02. 
 (c) To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including
fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or the Partners, the Covered Person shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of
this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity to the Partnership or the Partners, are agreed by the Partners to replace or eliminate such other
duties and liabilities of each such Covered Person.
