(iii)    thereafter, any remaining such Capital Profit and Operating Profit shall be allocated among the Partners so as to produce Capital Accounts (computed after taking into account any other Capital Profit and Operating Profit or Capital Loss and Operating Loss for the Fiscal Year in which such event occurred and all distributions pursuant to Article 4 with respect to such Fiscal Year and after adding back each Partner’s share, if any, of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, as defined in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704 - 2(b)(2) and 1.704 - 2(i), or Partnership Minimum Gain, as defined in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704 - 2(b)(2) and 1.704 - 2(d)) for the Partners such that a distribution of an amount of cash equal to such Capital Account balances in accordance with such Capital Account balances would be in the amounts, sequence and priority set forth in Article 4.

(a)    Appropriate reserves may be created, accrued and charged against the Operating Profit or Operating Loss for contingent liabilities, if any, as of the date any such contingent liability becomes known to the General Partner or as of each other date as the General Partner deems appropriate, such reserves to be in the amounts which the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate.  The General Partner may increase or reduce any such reserve from time to time by such amounts as the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate.  The amount of any such reserve, or any increase or decrease therein, shall be proportionately charged or credited, as appropriate, to the Capital Accounts of those parties who are Partners at the time when such reserve is created, increased or decreased, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective Points at such time; provided that, if any individual reserve item, as adjusted by any increase therein, exceeds the lesser of $500,000 or one percent of the aggregate value of the Capital Accounts of all such Partners, the amount of such reserve, increase or decrease shall instead be charged or credited to those parties who were Partners at the time, as determined by the General Partner, of the act or omission giving rise to the contingent liability for which the reserve item was established in proportion to their respective Points at that time.
(b)    If at any time an amount is paid or received by the Partnership and such amount was not accrued or reserved for but would nevertheless, in accordance with the Partnership’s accounting practices, be treated as applicable to one or more prior periods, then such amount may be proportionately charged or credited by the General Partner, as appropriate, to those parties who were Partners during such prior period or periods.
(c)    If any amount is required by Section 3.6(a) or (b) to be credited to a Person who is no longer a Partner, such amount shall be paid to such Person in cash, with interest from the date on which the General Partner determines that such credit is required at the Reference Rate in effect on that date.  Any amount required to be charged pursuant to Section 3.6(a) or (b) shall be debited against the current balance in the Capital Account of the affected Partners. To the extent that the aggregate current Capital Account balances of such affected Partners are insufficient to cover the full amount of the required charge, the deficiency shall be debited against the Capital Accounts of the other Partners in proportion to their respective Capital Account balances at such time; provided that each such other Partner shall be entitled to a preferential allocation, in proportion to and to the extent of such other Partner’s share of any such deficiency, together with a carrying charge at a rate equal to the Reference Rate, of any Operating Profit that would otherwise have been allocable after the date of such charge to the Capital Accounts of the affected Partners whose Capital Accounts were insufficient to cover the full amount of the required charge. In no event shall a current or former Partner be obligated to satisfy any amount required to be charged pursuant to Section 3.6(a) or (b) other than by means of a debit against such Partner’s Capital Account.
Section 3.7    Finality and Binding Effect of General Partner’s Determinations
All matters concerning the determination, valuation and allocation among the Partners with respect to any profit or loss of the Partnership and any associated items of income, gain, deduction, loss and credit, pursuant to any provision of this Article 3, including any accounting procedures applicable thereto, shall be determined by the General Partner unless specifically and expressly otherwise provided for by the provisions of this Agreement, and such determinations and allocations shall be final and binding on all the Partners.
Section 3.8    Alternative GP Vehicles
If the General Partner determines that for legal, tax, regulatory or other reasons (a) any investment or other activities of the Fund should be conducted through one or more parallel funds or other alternative investment vehicles as contemplated by the Fund LP Agreement, (b) any of such separate entities comprising the Fund should be managed or controlled by one or more separate entities serving as a general partner or in a similar capacity (each, an “Alternative GP Vehicle”), and (c) some or all of the Partners should participate through any such Alternative GP Vehicle, the General Partner may require any or all of the Partners, as determined by the General Partner, to participate directly or indirectly through any such Alternative GP Vehicle and to undertake such related and incidental activities and execute and deliver such related documents necessary or incidental thereto with and/or in lieu of the Partnership, and the General Partner shall have all necessary authority to implement such Alternative GP Vehicle.  Each Partner shall take such actions and execute such documents as the General Partner determines are reasonably needed to accomplish the foregoing.
ARTICLE 4     
DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 4.1    Distributions
(c)    Any amount of cash or property received as a distribution from any of the Funds by the Partnership in its capacity as a partner, to the extent such amount is determined by reference to the capital commitment of the Partnership in, or the capital contributions of the Partnership to, any of the Funds, shall be promptly distributed by the Partnership to APH.

(f)    The General Partner may cause the Partnership to pay distributions to the Partners at any time in addition to those contemplated by Section 4.1(a), (b) or (c), in cash or in kind; provided that the General Partner shall only make a distribution in kind either to all Partners ratably or to those Partners who have agreed to accept such a distribution in kind.  Distributions of any such amounts shall be made to the Partners in proportion to their respective Points, determined immediately prior to giving effect to such distribution.
Section 4.2    Withholding of Certain Amounts
(g)    If the Partnership incurs a withholding tax or other tax obligation with respect to the share of Partnership income allocable to any Partner, then the General Partner, without limitation of any other rights of the Partnership, may cause the amount of such obligation to be debited against the Capital Account of such Partner when the Partnership pays such obligation, and any amounts then or thereafter distributable to such Partner shall be reduced by the amount of such taxes.  If the amount of such taxes is greater than any such then distributable amounts, then such Partner and any successor to such Partner’s interest shall indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership and the General Partner against, and shall pay to the Partnership as a contribution to the capital of the Partnership, upon demand of the General Partner, the amount of such excess.
(h)    The General Partner may withhold from any distribution to any Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement any other amounts due from such Limited Partner to the Partnership or to any other Affiliate of AGM to the extent not otherwise paid.  Any amounts so withheld shall be applied by the General Partner to discharge the obligation in respect of which such amounts were withheld.
Section 4.3    Limitation on Distributions
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Partnership, and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, shall not make a distribution to any Partner on account of his interest in the Partnership if such distribution would violate the Partnership Law or other applicable law.

(k)    The General Partner shall be permitted to designate one or more committees of the Partnership which committees may include Limited Partners as members.  Any such committees shall have such powers and authority granted by the General Partner.

Section 5.5    Rights of Limited Partners
(a)    Limited Partners shall have no right to take part in the management, control or conduct of the Partnership’s business, nor shall they have any right or authority to act for the Partnership or to vote on matters other than as set forth in this Agreement or as required by applicable law.

(a)    No Limited Partner other than a Retired Partner shall engage in any occupation, profession, employment or other business, as an officer, director, partner, manager, member, employee, agent, consultant or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the General Partner, unless such activity is carried out on behalf of the Partnership or an Affiliate.
(b)    Subject to the Fund LP Agreements (including, without limitation, Section 6.7 thereof) and to full compliance with the Partnership’s code of ethics and other written policies relating to personal investment transactions, membership in the Partnership shall not prohibit a Limited Partner from purchasing or selling as a passive investor any interest in any asset.
(c)    Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the General Partner from engaging in any activity other than acting as General Partner hereunder.
Section 5.7    Duty of Care; Indemnification
(a)    The General Partner (including, without limitation, for this purpose each former and present director, officer, 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, whether or not a Retired Partner (each, a “Covered Person” and collectively, the “Covered Persons”), shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any of the other Partners for any loss, claim, damage or liability occasioned by any acts or omissions in the performance of his 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 any Fund and that failed to satisfy the duty of care owed pursuant to the applicable Fund LP Agreement or as otherwise required by law.
(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 his 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 a Limited Partner or by reason of serving or having served, at the request of the Partnership in its capacity as Fund General Partner of the Funds, as a director, officer, consultant, advisor, manager, member or partner of any enterprise in which any of the Funds has or had a financial interest, including issuers of Portfolio Investments; 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 his acts or his failure to act (i) were in bad faith or with criminal intent or (ii) were of a nature that makes indemnification by the Funds unavailable.  The right to indemnification granted by this Section 5.7 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 he 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 5.7, 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 5.7.  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 5.7 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 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 Article 5 with any Covered Person, whether or not such Covered Person is themselves a party to this Agreement, and obtain appropriate insurance coverage on behalf and at the expense of the Partnership to secure the Partnership’s indemnification obligations hereunder without the further consent of any Limited Partner.  Subject to applicable law, 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 Article 5, and shall be entitled to the benefit of the indemnity granted to the Partnership by each of the Funds pursuant to the terms of the Fund LP Agreements.
(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 his 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 such other duties and liabilities of each such Covered Person, save that the General Partner shall act at all times in good faith in accordance with the requirements of the Partnership Law.
(d)    Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.7, the Partnership may but shall not be required to indemnify (i) a Retired Partner (or any other former Limited Partner) with respect to any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses arising from any conduct occurring more than six months after the date of such Person’s retirement (or other withdrawal or departure), or (ii) a Limited Partner with respect to any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses as a director, officer or agent of the issuer of any Portfolio Investment to the extent arising from conduct in such capacity occurring more than six months after the complete disposition of such Portfolio Investment by the Fund.

(ii)    such Team Member’s Points Percentage will not be less than ... percent; and

a =     APH’s new Points Percentage
b =    APH’s previous Points Percentage
For purposes of the foregoing, the term “Team Member” means (x) a natural person who is actively involved, directly or indirectly, in the Fund’s investment program, (y) a Retired Partner who was so involved prior to his Retirement Date, or (z) a Related Party of the foregoing.
Section 6.2    Admission of Additional General Partner
The General Partner may admit one or more additional general partners at any time without the consent of any Limited Partner other than the Required Voting Partners.  No reduction in the Points Percentage of any Limited Partner shall be made as a result of the admission of an additional general partner or the increase in the Points of any general partner without the consent of such Limited Partner.  Any additional general partner shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, be deemed admitted as a general partner of the Partnership upon its execution of a deed of adherence, in a form satisfactory to the General Partner, to this Agreement pursuant to which such person undertakes and agrees to become a General Partner of the Partnership and to adhere to and be bound by the provisions of this Agreement on admission as a General Partner. The incumbent General Partner shall make such filings with the Registrar as are necessary pursuant to the Partnership Law to effect the legal admission of any additional general partner of the Partnership.
Section 6.3    Transfer of Interests of Limited Partners
(f)    No Transfer of any Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be valid or effective, and no transferee shall become a substituted Limited Partner, unless the prior written consent of the General Partner has been obtained, which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner.  In the event of any Transfer, all of the conditions of the remainder of this Section 6.3 must also be satisfied.
(g)    A Limited Partner or his legal representative shall give the General Partner notice before the proposed effective date of any voluntary Transfer and within 30 days after any involuntary Transfer, and shall provide sufficient information to allow legal counsel acting for the Partnership to make the determination that the proposed Transfer will not result in any of the following consequences:
(i)    require registration of the Partnership or any interest therein under any securities or commodities laws of any jurisdiction;
(ii)    result in a termination of the Partnership under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code or jeopardize the status of the Partnership as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes; or

Such notice must be supported by proof of legal authority and a valid instrument of assignment acceptable to the General Partner.
(h)    In the event any Transfer permitted by this Section 6.3 shall result in the multiple beneficial ownership of any Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership, the General Partner may require one or more trustees or nominees, whose names will be entered on the Register of Partnership Interests, to be designated to hold the legal title to the interest and to represent the entire interest transferred for the purpose of receiving all notices which may be given and all payments which may be made under this Agreement, and for the purpose of exercising the rights which the transferees have pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. The Partnership shall not otherwise be required to recognize any trust or other beneficial ownership of any interest.   
(i)    A permitted transferee shall be entitled to the allocations and distributions attributable to the interest in the Partnership transferred to such transferee and to Transfer such interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that such transferee shall not be entitled to the other rights of a Limited Partner as a result of such transfer until he becomes a substituted Limited Partner.  No transferee may become a substituted Limited Partner except with the prior written consent of the General Partner (which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner).  Such transferee shall be admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner upon execution of a deed of adherence, in a form satisfactory to the General Partner, to this Agreement pursuant to which such transferee undertakes and agrees to become a Limited Partner of the Partnership and to adhere to and be bound by the provisions of this Agreement on admission as a Limited Partner.  Notwithstanding the above, the Partnership and the General Partner shall incur no liability for allocations and distributions made in good faith to the transferring Limited Partner until a written instrument of Transfer has been received and accepted by the Partnership and recorded on its books and the effective date of the Transfer has passed.
(j)    Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any successor or transferee of any Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership shall be bound by the provisions hereof.  Prior to recognizing any Transfer in accordance with this Section 6.3, the General Partner may require the transferee to make certain representations and warranties to the Partnership and Partners and to accept, adopt and approve in writing all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
(k)    In the event of a Transfer or in the event of a distribution of assets of the Partnership to any Partner, the Partnership, at the direction of the General Partner, may, but shall not be required to, file an election under Section 754 of the Code and in accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations, to cause the basis of the Partnership’s assets to be adjusted as provided by Section 734 or 743 of the Code.
(l)    No transfer of a partnership interest shall be effective until the transfer of the partnership interest is registered by the General Partner on the Register of Partnership Interests. 
Section 6.4    Withdrawal of Partners
A Partner in the Partnership may not withdraw from the Partnership prior to its dissolution.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Limited Partner who transfers to a Related Party such Limited Partner’s entire remaining entitlement to allocations and distributions shall remain a Limited Partner, notwithstanding the admission of the transferee Related Party as a Limited Partner, for as long as the transferee Related Party remains a Limited Partner.
Section 6.5    Pledges

ARTICLE 7     
 
ALLOCATION OF POINTS; ADJUSTMENTS OF POINTS 
AND RETIREMENT OF PARTNERS


Section 7.1    Allocation of Points
(c)    Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall be responsible for the allocation of Points from time to time to the Limited Partners.  The allocation of Points to any Limited Partner who is invited to become a member of Co-Investors (A) shall not become effective until the effective date of the acceptance by Co-Investors (A) of a capital commitment from such Limited Partner (or his Related Party, as applicable) in a mutually agreed amount.  Points allocated to a Limited Partner, and the Points Percentage represented by such Points, may not be reduced except as set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 7.3.
(d)    The General Partner shall maintain on the books and records of the Partnership a record of the number of Points allocated to each Partner and shall give notice to each Limited Partner of the number of such Limited Partner’s Points upon admission to the Partnership of such Limited Partner and promptly upon any change in such Limited Partner’s Points pursuant to this Article 7 or otherwise.
(e)    The General Partner shall ensure that at all times: (i) the total number of Points held by each Carry Plan Entity is equal to the total number of outstanding Carry Plan Entity Points held by the limited partners of such Carry Plan Entity and (ii) the proportionate entitlement of each outstanding Point to share in amounts attributable to “carried interest” distributions derived by the Partnership from the Funds corresponds with the proportionate entitlement of each outstanding Carry Plan Entity Point to share in distributions by such Carry Plan Entity attributable to such amounts that have been distributed by the Partnership to such Carry Plan Entity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the total number of outstanding Carry Plan Entity Points held by the limited partners of a Carry Plan Entity changes for any reason (including the admission of any new partner to, or the retirement of any partner from, such Carry Plan Entity), a corresponding adjustment shall be made in the number of Points held by such Carry Plan Entity.
Section 7.2    Retirement of Partner
(m)    A Limited Partner shall become a Retired Partner upon:
(iv)    delivery to such Limited Partner of a notice by the General Partner declaring such Limited Partner to be a Retired Partner (which shall be deemed to have been given upon delivery of a notice terminating such Limited Partner’s employment by AGM, unless otherwise determined by the General Partner);
(v)    a date specified in a notice delivered by such Limited Partner to the General Partner stating that such Limited Partner elects to resign from or otherwise terminate his or her employment by AGM; or
(vi)    the death of the Limited Partner, whereupon the estate of the deceased Limited Partner shall be treated as a Retired Partner in the place of the deceased Limited Partner, or the Permanent Disability of the Limited Partner.
(n)    Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the General Partner to treat Retired Partners alike, and the exercise of any power or discretion by the General Partner in the case of any one such Retired Partner shall not create any obligation on the part of the General Partner to take any similar action in the case of any other such Retired Partner, it being understood that any power or discretion conferred upon the General Partner shall be treated as having been so conferred as to each such Retired Partner separately.
Section 7.3    Effect of Retirement on Points
(d)    The Points of any Limited Partner who becomes a Retired Partner shall be reduced automatically to an amount equal to such Limited Partner’s Vested Points calculated as of the Retirement Date.  Any such reduction shall be effective on the Retirement Date or such subsequent date as may be determined by the General Partner; provided that the General Partner may agree to a lesser reduction (or to no reduction) of the Points of any such Limited Partner who becomes a Retired Partner.
(e)    The General Partner shall determine the manner of apportioning and/or cancelling any Points that become available for reallocation or cancellation pursuant to Section 7.3(a) as a result of any Partner becoming a Retired Partner; provided, however, that if the Points Percentage of APH is proposed to be increased as a result of any such reallocation or cancellation, then x/y shall not be less than a/b after giving effect to the reallocation or cancellation of all such Points, where:
		
	x =
	the new Points Percentage of each Team Member other than a Retired Partner


		
	y = 
	such Team Member’s Points Percentage before giving effect to all previous Points Percentage reductions pursuant to Section 6.1(c)


		
	a = 
	APH’s new Points Percentage


		
	b =
	APH’s Points Percentage before giving effect to all previous Points Percentage reductions pursuant to Section 6.1(c)


(f)    Except as contemplated by Section 6.1(c) and Section 7.3(a), the General Partner shall have no authority under the provisions of this Agreement to reduce the Points of any Limited Partner.
ARTICLE 8     
DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION
Section 8.1    Liquidation and Dissolution of Partnership
(o)    The General Partner, except where, the General Partner is unable to perform this function, a liquidator elected by a majority in interest (determined by Points) of Limited Partners, shall commence the winding-up of the Partnership pursuant to Section 15(1) of the Partnership Law upon occurrence of any Winding-Up Event. The General Partner or appointed liquidator shall terminate the business and administrative affairs of the Partnership and commence the liquidation of the Partnership's assets.  
(p)    Capital Profit and Capital Loss, Operating Profit and Operating Loss during the Fiscal Years that include the period of liquidation shall be allocated pursuant to Section 3.4.  The proceeds from liquidation shall be distributed in the following manner:
(i)    first, the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership including the expenses of liquidation (including legal and accounting expenses incurred in connection therewith), up to and including the date that distribution of the Partnership’s assets to the Partners has been completed, shall be satisfied (whether by payment or by making reasonable provision for payment thereof); and
(ii)    thereafter, the Partners shall be paid amounts pro rata in accordance with and up to the positive balances of their respective Capital Accounts, as adjusted pursuant to Article 3.
(q)    Anything in this Section 8.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, the General Partner or liquidator may distribute ratably in kind rather than in cash, upon the winding-up of the Partnership, any assets of the Partnership in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.1(a), provided that if any in kind distribution is to be made the assets distributed in kind shall be valued as of the actual date of their distribution and charged as so valued and distributed against amounts to be paid under Section 8.1(a).
(r)    Upon completion of the winding-up of the Partnership in accordance with the terms hereof the Partnership shall be dissolved by the filing of a notice of dissolution in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership law.  
 
ARTICLE 9     
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1    Amendment of Partnership Agreement
(g)    The General Partner may amend this Agreement at any time, in whole or in part, without the consent of any Limited Partner by giving notice of such amendment to any Limited Partner whose rights or obligations as a Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement are changed thereby; provided that any amendment that would effect a material adverse change in the contractual rights of a Partner may only be made if the written consent of such Partner is obtained prior to the effectiveness thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner may amend this Agreement at any time, in whole or in part, without the consent of any Limited Partner (other than a Limited Partner whose rights to allocations and distributions would suffer a material adverse change as a result of such amendment), to enable the Partnership to comply with the requirements of the “Safe Harbor” Election within the meaning of the Proposed Revenue Procedure of Notice 2005-43, 2005-24 IRB 1, Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3(e)(1) or Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(xii) at such time as such proposed Procedure and Regulations are effective and to make any such other related changes as may be required by pronouncements or Treasury Regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service or Treasury Department after the date of this Agreement.  An adjustment of Points shall not be considered an amendment to the extent effected in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1 or 7.3 as in effect on the date hereof or as hereafter amended in compliance with the requirements of this Section 9.1(a).  The General Partner’s approval of or consent to any transaction resulting in the substitution of another Person in place of the Partnership as the managing or general partner of any of the Funds or any change to the scheme of distribution under any of the Fund LP Agreements that would have the effect of reducing the Partnership’s allocable share of the Net Income of any Fund shall require the consent of any Limited Partner adversely affected thereby.
(h)    Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 9.1(a), it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the General Partner on its own behalf or on behalf of the Partnership without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person may enter into one or more side letters or similar agreements with one or more Limited Partners 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 or similar agreement with one or more Limited Partners shall govern with respect to such Limited Partner or Limited Partners notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement.  Any such side letters or similar agreements shall be binding upon the Partnership or the General Partner, as applicable, and the signatories thereto as if the terms were contained in this Agreement, but no such side letter or similar agreement between the General Partner and any Limited Partner or Limited Partners and the Partnership shall adversely amend the contractual rights of any other Limited Partner without such other Limited Partner’s prior consent.
Section 9.2    Special Power-of-Attorney
(g)    Each Partner hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the General Partner with full power of substitution, the true and lawful representative and attorney-in-fact, and in the name, place and stead of such Partner, with the power from time to time to make, execute, sign, acknowledge, swear to, verify, deliver, record, file and/or publish:
(i)    any amendment to this Agreement which complies with the provisions of this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 9.1); 
(ii)    all such other instruments, documents and certificates which, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership, may from time to time be required by the laws of the Cayman Islands or any other jurisdiction, or which such legal counsel may deem necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement and continue the valid and subsisting existence and business of the Partnership as an exempted limited partnership or partnership in which the limited partners thereof enjoy limited liability; 
(iii)    all such instruments, certificates, agreements and other documents relating to the conduct of the investment program of any of the Funds which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact and the legal counsel to the Funds, are reasonably necessary to accomplish the legal, regulatory and fiscal objectives of the Funds in connection with its or their acquisition, ownership and disposition of investments, including, without limitation:
		
	(A)
	the governing documents of any management entity formed as a part of the tax planning for any of the Funds and any amendments thereto; and


		
	(B)
	documents relating to any restructuring transaction with respect to any of the Funds’ investments,


provided that such documents referred to in clauses (A) and (B) above, viewed individually or in the aggregate, provide substantially equivalent financial and economic rights with respect to such Limited Partner and otherwise do not:
		
	(1)
	increase the Limited Partner’s overall financial obligation to make capital contributions with respect to the relevant Fund (directly or through any associated vehicle in which the Limited Partner holds an interest);


		
	(2)
	diminish the Limited Partner’s overall entitlement to share in profits and distributions with respect to the relevant Fund (directly or through any associated vehicle in which the Limited Partner holds an interest);


		
	(3)
	cause the Limited Partner to become subject to increased personal liability for any debts or obligations of the Partnership; or


		
	(4)
	otherwise result in an adverse change in the overall rights or obligations of the Limited Partner in relation to the conduct of the investment program of any of the Funds;


(iv)    any instrument or document necessary or advisable to implement the provisions of Section 3.8 of this Agreement;
(v)    any written notice or letter of resignation from any board seat or office of any Person (other than a company that has a class of equity securities registered under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or that is registered under the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), which board seat or office was occupied or held at the request of the Partnership or any of its Affiliates; and
(vi)    all such proxies, consents, assignments and other documents as the General Partner determines to be necessary or advisable in connection with any merger or other reorganization, restructuring or other similar transaction entered into in accordance with this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 9.5(c)).
(h)    Each Limited Partner is aware that the terms of this Agreement permit certain amendments to this Agreement to be effected and certain other actions to be taken or omitted by or with respect to the Partnership without his consent.  If an amendment to this Agreement or any action by or with respect to the Partnership is taken by the General Partner in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, each Limited Partner agrees that, notwithstanding any objection which such Limited Partner may assert with respect to such action, the General Partner is authorized and empowered, with full power of substitution, to exercise the authority granted above in any manner which may be necessary or appropriate to permit such amendment to be made or action lawfully taken or omitted.  Each Partner is fully aware that each other Partner will rely on the effectiveness of this power-of-attorney with a view to the orderly administration of the affairs of the Partnership.  Each Limited Partner agrees that the power-of-attorney granted hereby is intended to secure an interest in property and, in addition, the obligations of each such Limited Partner under this Agreement and as such:
(i)    shall be irrevocable and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the subsequent death or incapacity of any party granting this power-of-attorney, regardless of whether the Partnership or the General Partner shall have had notice thereof; and
(ii)    shall survive any Transfer by a Limited Partner of the whole or any portion of its interest in the Partnership, except that, where the transferee thereof has been approved by the General Partner for admission to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner, this power of attorney given by the transferor shall survive such Transfer for the sole purpose of enabling the General Partner to execute, acknowledge and file any instrument necessary to effect such substitution.
		
	Section 9.3
	Notices


Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing. A notice to the General Partner shall be directed to the attention of Leon D. Black with a copy to the general counsel of the Partnership.  A notice to a Limited Partner shall be directed to such Limited Partner’s last known residence as set forth in the books and records of the Partnership or its Affiliates (a Limited Partner’s “Home Address”).  A notice shall be considered given when delivered to the addressee either by hand at his Partnership office or electronically to the primary e-mail account supplied by the Partnership for Partnership business communications, except that a notice to a Retired Partner shall be considered given when delivered by hand by a recognized overnight courier together with mailing through the United States Postal System by regular mail to such Retired Partner’s Home Address.
Section 9.4    Agreement Binding Upon Successors and Assigns
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors by operation of law, but the rights and obligations of the Partners hereunder shall not be assignable, transferable or delegable except as expressly provided herein, and any attempted assignment, transfer or delegation thereof that is not made in accordance with such express provisions shall be void and unenforceable.
Section 9.5    Merger, Consolidation, etc.
(a)    Subject to Sections 9.5(b) and 9.5(c), the Partnership may merge or consolidate with or into one or more limited partnerships formed under any applicable law or other business entities under applicable law pursuant to an agreement of merger or consolidation which has been approved by the General Partner.
(b)    Subject to Section 9.1(a) but notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, an agreement of merger or consolidation approved in accordance with Section 9.5(a) may, to the extent permitted by Section 9.5(a), (i) effect any amendment to this Agreement, (ii) effect the adoption of a new partnership agreement for the Partnership if it is the surviving or resulting limited partnership in the merger or consolidation, or (iii) provide that the partnership agreement of any other constituent limited partnership to the merger or consolidation (including a limited partnership formed for the purpose of consummating the merger or consolidation) shall be the partnership agreement of the surviving or resulting limited partnership.
(c)    The General Partner shall have the power and authority to approve and implement any merger, consolidation or other reorganization, restructuring or similar transaction without the consent of any Limited Partner, other than any Limited Partner with respect to which the General Partner has determined that such transaction will, or is more likely than not to, result in any material adverse change in the financial and other material rights of such Limited Partner conferred by this Agreement and any side letter or similar agreement entered into pursuant to Section 9.1(b) or the imposition of any material new financial obligation on such Limited Partner.  Subject to the foregoing, the General Partner may require one or more of the Limited Partners to sell, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of their interests in the Partnership in connection with any such transaction, and each Limited Partner shall take such action as may be directed by the General Partner to effect any such transaction.
Section 9.6    Governing Law
This Agreement, and the rights of each and all of the Partners hereunder, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands, without regard to conflict of laws rules thereof.  The parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any action arising out of this Agreement (to the extent not subject to arbitration pursuant to this Section 9.6) in any appropriate court in any of the Cayman Islands, or Delaware or New York.  In addition to any other means available at law for service of process, each Limited Partner hereby agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that service of process will be duly effectuated when delivered to a Limited Partner’s Home Address by hand or by a recognized overnight carrier together with mailing through the United States Postal System by regular mail.
Section 9.7    Termination of Right of Action
Every right of action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement by or on behalf of any past, present or future Partner or the Partnership against any past, present or future Partner shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of the place where the action may be brought and irrespective of the residence of any such Partner, cease and be barred by the expiration of three years from the date of the act or omission in respect of which such right of action arises.
Section 9.8    Confidentiality
(a)    Each Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that the information contained in the books and records of the Partnership concerning the Points assigned with respect to any other Limited Partner (including any Retired Partner) is confidential, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Limited Partner waives, and covenants not to assert, any claim or entitlement whatsoever to gain access to any such information.  The Limited Partners agree that the restrictions set forth in this Section 9.8(a) shall constitute reasonable standards under the Partnership Law regarding access to information.
(b)    Each Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees not to, at any time, either during the term of such Limited Partner’s participation in the Partnership or thereafter, disclose, use, publish or in any manner reveal, directly or indirectly, to any Person (other than on a confidential basis to such Limited Partner’s legal and tax advisors who have a need to know such information) the contents of this Agreement or any Confidential Information, except (i) as may be necessary to the performance of the Limited Partner’s duties hereunder, (ii) with the prior written consent of the General Partner, (iii) to the extent that any such information is in the public domain other than as a result of the Limited Partner’s breach of any of his obligations, or (iv) where required to be disclosed by court order, subpoena or other government process; provided that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Limited Partner shall promptly notify the General Partner upon becoming aware of any such disclosure requirement and shall cooperate with any effort by the General Partner to prevent or limit such disclosure.
(c)    Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Section 9.8, each Limited Partner may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of an investment in the Partnership and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Limited Partner relating to such tax treatment.  For this purpose, “tax treatment” is the purported or claimed United States federal income tax treatment of a transaction and “tax structure” is limited to any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed United States federal income tax treatment of a transaction.  For this purpose, the names of the Partnership, the Partners, their affiliates, the names of their partners, members or equity holders and the representatives, agents and tax advisors of any of the foregoing are not items of tax structure.
Section 9.9    Not for Benefit of Creditors
The provisions of this Agreement are intended only for the regulation of relations among Partners and between Partners and former or prospective Partners and the Partnership.  This Agreement is not intended for the benefit of any Person who is not a Partner, and no rights are intended to be granted to any other Person who is not a Partner under this Agreement.
Section 9.10    Reports
