notes, drafts and other 

  
 24 









 
documents of the Company, Associates, BTO or any Company Affiliate that may be required in connection with any such bank account or banking facilities or services, (C) resolutions with
respect to any of the foregoing matters (which resolutions, when executed by any person authorized as provided in this Section 3.3(c), each acting individually, shall be deemed to have been adopted by the Managing Member, the Company,
Associates, BTO or any Company Affiliate, as applicable, for all purposes). 
 The authority granted to any person (other than the Managing
Member) in this Section 3.3(c) may be revoked at any time by the Managing Member by an instrument in writing signed by the Managing Member. 
 3.4. Responsibilities of Members. (a) Unless otherwise determined by the Managing Member in a particular case, each Regular Member shall devote substantially all his time and attention to the
businesses of the Company and its Affiliates, and each Special Member shall not be required to devote any time or attention to the businesses of the Company or its Affiliates. 
 (b) All outside business or investment activities of the Members (including outside directorships or trusteeships) shall be subject to such rules and regulations as are established by the Managing Member
from time to time. 
 (c) The Managing Member may from time to time establish such other rules and regulations applicable to
Members or other employees as the Managing Member deems appropriate, including rules governing the authority of Members or other employees to bind the Company to financial commitments or other obligations. 

3.5. Exculpation and Indemnification. (a) Liability to Members. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Member nor any of such Member’s representatives, agents or advisors nor any partner, member, officer, employee, representative, agent or advisor of the Company or any of its
Affiliates (individually, a “Covered Person” and collectively, the “Covered Persons”) shall be liable to the Company or any other Member for any act or omission (in relation to the Company, this Agreement, any
related document or any transaction or investment contemplated hereby or thereby) taken or omitted by a Covered Person (other than any act or omission constituting Cause), unless there is a final and non-appealable judicial determination and/or
determination of an arbitrator that such Covered Person did not act in good faith and in what such Covered Person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and within the authority granted to such Covered
Person by this Agreement, and, with respect to any criminal act or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such Covered Person’s conduct was unlawful. Each Covered Person shall be entitled to rely in good faith on the advice of legal
counsel to the Company, accountants and other experts or professional advisors, and no action taken by any Covered Person in reliance on such advice shall in any event subject such person to any liability to any Member or the Company. To the extent
that, at law or in equity, a Member has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to another Member, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such Member acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to
the Company or to any such other Member for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of 

  
 25 









 
this Agreement, to the extent that they expand or restrict the duties and liabilities of a Member otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to modify to that extent such other duties and liabilities of such Member. 
 (b) Indemnification.
(i) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless (but only to the extent of the Company’s assets (including, without limitation, the remaining capital commitments of the Members) each Covered Person
from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromises and settlements, as fines and penalties and legal or other costs and
reasonable expenses of investigating or defending against any claim or alleged claim), joint and several, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated (collectively, for purposes of this Section 3.5,
“Losses”), arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which the Covered Person may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or
otherwise, by reason of such Covered Person’s management of the affairs of the Company or which relate to or arise out of or in connection with the Company, its property, its business or affairs (other than claims, demands, actions, suits or
proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of any act or omission of such Covered Person constituting Cause); provided, that a Covered Person shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section with
respect to any claim, issue or matter if there is a final and non-appealable judicial determination and/or determination of an arbitrator that such Covered Person did not act in good faith and in what such Covered Person reasonably believed to be
in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company and within the authority granted to such Covered Person by this Agreement, and, with respect to any criminal act or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such Covered Person’s
conduct was unlawful; provided further, that if such Covered Person is a Member or a Withdrawn Member, such Covered Person shall bear its share of such Losses in accordance with such Covered Person’s GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentage
in the Company as of the time of the actions or omissions that gave rise to such Losses. To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person (including, without limitation, the Managing Member) in
defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding may, with the approval of the Managing Member, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the
Company of a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount to the extent that it shall be subsequently determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section, and the
Company and its Affiliates shall have a continuing right of offset against such Covered Person’s interests/investments in the Company and such Affiliates and shall have the right to withhold amounts otherwise distributable to such Covered
Person to satisfy such repayment obligation. If a Member institutes litigation against a Covered Person which gives rise to an indemnity obligation hereunder, such Member shall be responsible, up to the amount of such Member’s Interests and
remaining capital commitment, for such Member’s pro rata share of the Company’s expenses related to such indemnity obligation, as determined by the Managing Member. The Company may purchase insurance, to the extent available at reasonable
cost, to cover losses, claims, damages or liabilities covered by the foregoing indemnification provisions. Members will not be personally obligated with respect to indemnification pursuant to this Section. 

  
 26 









 (ii) (A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for greater
certainty, it is understood and/or agreed that the Company’s obligations hereunder are not intended to render the Company as a primary indemnitor for purposes of the indemnification, advancement of expenses and related provisions under
applicable law governing BTO and/or a particular portfolio entity through which an Investment is indirectly held. It is further understood and/or agreed that a Covered Person shall first seek to be so indemnified and have such expenses advanced in
the following order of priority: first out of proceeds available in respect of applicable insurance policies maintained by the applicable portfolio entity and/or BTO, second by the applicable portfolio entity through which such investment is
indirectly held, third by BTO and fourth by Associates (only to the extent the foregoing sources are exhausted). 
 (B) The
Company’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or advance expenses to any Covered Person shall be reduced by any amount that such Covered Person may collect as indemnification or advancement from BTO and/or the applicable portfolio entity
(including by virtue of any applicable insurance policies maintained thereby), and to the extent the Company (or any Affiliate thereof) pays or causes to be paid any amounts that should have been paid by Associates, BTO and/or the applicable
portfolio entity (including by virtue of any applicable insurance policies maintained thereby), it is agreed among the Partners that the Company shall have a subrogation claim against Associates and/or BTO and/or such portfolio entity in respect of
such advancement or payments. The Managing Member and the Company shall be specifically empowered to structure any such advancement or payment as a loan or other arrangement (except for a loan to an executive officer of The Blackstone Group L.P. or
any of its Affiliates, which shall not be permitted) as the Managing Member may determine necessary or advisable to give effect to or otherwise implement the foregoing. 
 3.6. Representations of Members. (a) Each Regular or Special Member by execution of this Agreement (or by otherwise becoming bound by the terms and conditions hereof as provided herein or in the
LLC Act) represents and warrants to every other Member and to the Company, except as may be waived by the Managing Member, that such Member is acquiring each of such Member’s Interests for such Member’s own account for investment and not
with a view to resell or distribute the same or any part hereof, and that no other person has any interest in any such Interest or in the rights of such Member hereunder; provided, that a Member may choose to make transfers for estate and
charitable planning purposes (in accordance with the terms hereof). Each Regular or Special Member represents and warrants that such Member understands that the Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and therefore such
Interests may not be resold without registration under such Act or exemption from such registration, and that accordingly such Member must bear the economic risk of an investment in the Company for an indefinite period of time. Each Regular or
Special Member represents that such Member has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, that such Member is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company, and that such Member is able to bear the
economic risk of such investment. Each Regular or Special Member represents that such Member’s overall commitment to the Company and other investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Member’s net worth and
the Member has no need for liquidity in the Member’s investment in Interests. Each Regular or Special Member represents that to the full satisfaction of the 

  
 27 









 
Member, the Member has been furnished any materials that such Member has requested relating to the Company, any Investment and the offering of Interests and has been afforded the opportunity to
ask questions of representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of Interests and any matters pertaining to each Investment and to obtain any other additional information relating thereto. Each Regular or Special
Member represents that the Member has consulted to the extent deemed appropriate by the Member with the Member’s own advisers as to the financial, tax, legal and related matters concerning an investment in Interests and on that basis believes
that an investment in the Interests is suitable and appropriate for the Member. 
 (b) Each Regular or Special Member agrees
that the representations and warranties contained in paragraph (a) above shall be true and correct as of any date that such Member (1) makes a capital contribution to the Company (whether as a result of Firm Advances made to such Member or
otherwise) with respect to any Investment, and such Member hereby agrees that such capital contribution shall serve as confirmation thereof and/or (2) repays any portion of the principal amount of a Firm Advance, and such Member hereby agrees
that such repayment shall serve as confirmation thereof. 
 3.7. Tax Information. Each Regular or Special Member
certifies that (A) if the Member is a United States person (as defined in the Code) (x) (i) the Member’s name, social security number (or, if applicable, employer identification number) and address provided to the Company and its
Affiliates pursuant to an IRS Form W-9, Payer’s Request for Taxpayer Identification Number Certification (“W-9”) or otherwise are correct and (ii) the Member will complete and return a W-9, and (y) (i) the Member
is a United States person (as defined in the Code) and (ii) the Member will notify the Company within 60 days of a change to foreign (non-United States) status or (B) if the Member is not a United States person (as defined in the Code)
(x) (i) the information on the completed IRS Form W-8BEN, Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding (“W-8BEN”) or other applicable form, including but not limited to IRS Form
W-8IMY, Certificate of Foreign Intermediary, Foreign Partnership, or Certain U.S. Branches for United States Tax Withholding (“W-8IMY”), or otherwise is correct and (ii) the Member will complete and return the applicable IRS
form, including but not limited to a W-8BEN or W-8IMY, and (y) (i) the Member is not a United States person (as defined in the Code) and (ii) the Member will notify the Company within 60 days of any change of such status. The Member
agrees to properly execute and provide to the Company in a timely manner any tax documentation that may be reasonably required by the Company or the Managing Member. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY 

4.1. Capital Contributions by Members. (a) Each Regular Member shall be required to make capital contributions to the Company
(“GP-Related Capital Contributions”) at such times and in such amounts (the “GP-Related Required Amounts”) as are required to satisfy the Company’s obligation to make capital contributions to Associates in
respect of the GP-Related Associates Member Interest to fund Associates’ capital contributions with respect to any GP-Related BTO Investment and as are otherwise determined by the Managing Member from


  
 28 









 
time to time or as may be set forth in such Regular Member’s Commitment Agreement or SMD Agreement, if any; provided, that additional GP-Related Capital Contributions in excess of the
GP-Related Required Amounts may be made pro rata among the Regular Members based upon each Regular Member’s Carried Interest Sharing Percentage. GP-Related Capital Contributions in excess of the GP-Related Required Amounts which are to be used
for ongoing business operations (as distinct from financing, legal or other specific liabilities of the Company (including those specifically set forth in Sections 4.1(d) and 5.8(d)) shall be determined by the Managing Member. Special Members shall
not be required to make additional GP-Related Capital Contributions to the Company in excess of the GP-Related Required Amounts, except (i) as a condition of an increase in such Special Member’s GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentage or
(ii) as specifically set forth in this Agreement; provided, that the Managing Member and any Special Member may agree from time to time that such Special Member shall make an additional GP-Related Capital Contribution to the Company;
provided further, that each Investor Special Member shall maintain its GP-Related Capital Accounts at an aggregate level equal to the product of (i) its GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentage from time to time and (ii) the
total capital of the Company related to the GP-Related BTO Interest. 
 (b) Each GP-Related Capital Contribution by a Member
shall be credited to the appropriate GP-Related Capital Account of such Member in accordance with Section 5.2, subject to Section 5.10. 
 (c) The Managing Member may elect on a case by case basis to (i) cause the Company to loan any Member (including any additional Member admitted to the Company pursuant to Section 6.1 but
excluding any Members who are also executive officers of The Blackstone Group L.P. or any Affiliate thereof) the amount of any GP-Related Capital Contribution required to be made by such Member or (ii) permit any Member (including any
additional Member admitted to the Company pursuant to Section 6.1 but excluding any Members who are also executive officers of The Blackstone Group L.P. or any Affiliate thereof) to make a required GP-Related Capital Contribution to the Company
in installments, in each case on terms determined by the Managing Member. 
 (d) (i) The Members and the Withdrawn Members have
entered into the Trust Agreement, pursuant to which certain amounts of Carried Interest will be paid to the Trustee(s) for deposit in the Trust Account (such amounts to be paid to the Trustee(s) for deposit in the Trust Account constituting a
“Holdback”). The Managing Member shall determine, as set forth below, the percentage of each distribution of Carried Interest that shall be withheld for any Managing Member (including, without limitation, Holdings) and each Member
Category (such withheld percentage constituting the Managing Member’s and such Member Category’s “Holdback Percentage”). The applicable Holdback Percentages initially shall be 0% for any Managing Member, 15% for Existing
Members (other than the Managing Member), 21% for Retaining Withdrawn Members (other than the Managing Member) and 24% for Deceased Members (the “Initial Holdback Percentages”). Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Holdback Percentage for the Managing Member (including, without limitation, Holdings) shall not be subject to change pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 4.1(d). 

  
 29 









 (ii) The Holdback Percentage may not be reduced for any individual Member as
compared to the other Members in his Member Category (except as provided in clause (iv) below). The Managing Member may only reduce the Holdback Percentages among the Member Categories on a proportionate basis. For example, if the Holdback
Percentage for Existing Members is decreased to 12.5%, the Holdback Percentage for Retaining Withdrawn Members and Deceased Members shall be reduced to 17.5% and 20%, respectively. Any reduction in the Holdback Percentage for any Member shall apply
only to distributions relating to Carried Interest made after the date of such reduction. 
 (iii) The Holdback
Percentage may not be increased for any individual Member as compared to the other Members in his Member Category (except as provided in clause (iv) below). The Managing Member may not increase the Retaining Withdrawn Members’ Holdback
Percentage beyond 21% unless the Managing Member concurrently increases the Existing Members’ Holdback Percentage to 21%. The Managing Member may not increase the Deceased Members’ Holdback Percentage beyond 24% unless the Managing Member
increases the Holdback Percentage for both Existing Members and Retaining Withdrawn Members to 24%. The Managing Member may not increase the Holdback Percentage of any Member Category beyond 24% unless such increase applies equally to all Member
Categories. Any increase in the Holdback Percentage for any Member shall apply only to distributions relating to Carried Interest made after the date of such increase. The foregoing shall in no way prevent the Managing Member from proportionately
increasing the Holdback Percentage of any Member Category (following a reduction of the Holdback Percentages below the Initial Holdback Percentages), if the resulting Holdback Percentages are consistent with the above. For example, if the Managing
Member reduces the Holdback Percentages for Existing Members, Retaining Withdrawn Members and Deceased Members to 12.5%, 17.5% and 20%, respectively, the Managing Member shall have the right to subsequently increase the Holdback Percentages to the
Initial Holdback Percentages. 
 (iv) (A) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company
may increase or decrease the Holdback Percentage for any Member in any Member Category (in such capacity, the “Subject Member”) pursuant to a majority vote of the Regular Members (a “Holdback Vote”);
provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holdback Percentage applicable to any Managing Member shall not be increased or decreased without its prior written consent; provided further, that a
Subject Member’s Holdback Percentage shall not be (I) increased prior to such time as such Subject Member (x) is notified by the Company of the decision to increase such Subject Member’s Holdback Percentage and (y) has, if
requested by such Subject Member, been given 30 days to gather and provide information to the Company for consideration before a second Holdback Vote (requested by the Subject Member) or (II) decreased unless such decrease occurs subsequent to an
increase in a Subject Member’s Holdback Percentage pursuant to a Holdback Vote under this clause (iv); provided further, that such decrease shall not exceed an amount such that such Subject Member’s Holdback Percentage is
less than the prevailing Holdback Percentage for the Member Category of such Subject 

  
 30 









 
Member; provided further, that a Member shall not vote to increase a Subject Member’s Holdback Percentage unless such voting Member determines, in such Member’s good faith
judgment, that the facts and circumstances indicate that it is reasonably likely that such Subject Member, or any of such Subject Member’s successors or assigns (including such Subject Member’s estate or heirs) who at the time of such vote
holds the GP-Related Member Interest or otherwise has the right to receive distributions relating thereto, will not be capable of satisfying any GP-Related Recontribution Amounts that may become due. 

 

	 	(B)	A Holdback Vote shall take place at a Company meeting. Each Regular Member shall be entitled to cast one vote with respect to the Holdback Vote regardless of such
Regular Member’s interest in the Company. Such vote may be cast by any Regular Member in person or by proxy. 

  

	 	(C)	If the result of the second Holdback Vote is an increase in a Subject Member’s Holdback Percentage, such Subject Member may submit the decision to an arbitrator,
the identity of which is mutually agreed upon by both the Subject Member and the Company; provided, that if the Company and the Subject Member cannot agree upon a mutually satisfactory arbitrator within 10 days of the second Holdback Vote,
each of the Company and the Subject Member shall request their candidate for arbitrator to select a third arbitrator satisfactory to such candidates; provided further, that if such candidates fail to agree upon a mutually satisfactory
arbitrator within 30 days of such request, the then sitting President of the American Arbitration Association shall unilaterally select the arbitrator. Each Subject Member that submits the decision of the Company pursuant to the second Holdback Vote
to arbitration and the Company shall estimate their reasonably projected out-of-pocket expenses relating thereto, and each such party shall, to the satisfaction of the arbitrator and prior to any determination being made by the arbitrator, pay the
total of such estimated expenses (i.e., both the Subject Member’s and the Company’s expenses) into an escrow account to be controlled by Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, as escrow agent (or such other comparable law firm as the
Company and the Subject Member shall agree). The arbitrator shall direct the escrow agent to pay out of such escrow account all expenses associated with such arbitration (including costs leading thereto) and to return to the “victorious”
party the entire amount of funds such party paid into such escrow account. If the amount contributed to the escrow account by the losing party is insufficient to cover the expenses of such arbitration, such “losing” party shall then
provide any additional funds necessary to cover such costs to such “victorious” party. For purposes hereof, the “victorious” party shall be the Company if the Holdback Percentage ultimately determined by the arbitrator is closer
to the percentage determined in the second Holdback Vote than it is to the prevailing Holdback Percentage for the Subject Member’s Member Category; otherwise, the Subject Member shall be the “victorious” party. The party that is not
the “victorious” party shall be the “losing” party. 


  
 31 










	 	(D)	In the event of a decrease in a Subject Member’s Holdback Percentage (1) pursuant to a Holdback Vote under this clause (iv) or (2) pursuant to a
decision of an arbitrator under paragraph (C) of this clause (iv), the Company shall release and distribute to such Subject Member any Trust Amounts (and the Trust Income thereon (except as expressly provided herein with respect to using Trust
Income as Firm Collateral)) which exceed the required Holdback of such Subject Member (in accordance with such Subject Member’s reduced Holdback Percentage) as though such reduced Holdback Percentage had applied since the increase of the
Subject Member’s Holdback Percentage pursuant to a previous Holdback Vote under this clause (iv). 

 (v) (A) If a Member’s Holdback Percentage exceeds 15% (such percentage in excess of 15% constituting the “Excess Holdback Percentage”), such Member may satisfy the portion of his
Holdback obligation in respect of his Excess Holdback Percentage (such portion constituting such Member’s “Excess Holdback”), and such Member (or a Withdrawn Member with respect to amounts contributed to the Trust Account while
he was a Member), to the extent his Excess Holdback obligation has previously been satisfied in cash, may obtain the release of the Trust Amounts (but not the Trust Income thereon which shall remain in the Trust Account and allocated to such Member
or Withdrawn Member) satisfying such Member’s or Withdrawn Member’s Excess Holdback obligation, by pledging or otherwise making available to the Company, on a first priority basis (except as provided below), all or any portion of his Firm
Collateral in satisfaction of his Excess Holdback obligation. Any Member seeking to satisfy all or any portion of the Excess Holdback utilizing Firm Collateral shall sign such documents and otherwise take such other action as is necessary or
appropriate (in the good faith judgment of the Managing Member) to perfect a first priority security interest in, and otherwise assure the ability of the Company to realize on (if required), such Firm Collateral; provided, that, in the case
of entities listed in the Company’s books and records in which Members are permitted to pledge their interests therein to finance all or a portion of their capital contributions thereto (“Pledgable Blackstone Interests”), to
the extent a first priority security interest is unavailable because of an existing lien on such Firm Collateral, the Member or Withdrawn Member seeking to utilize such Firm Collateral shall grant the Company a second priority security interest
therein in the manner provided above; provided further, that (x) in the case of Pledgable Blackstone Interests, to the extent that neither a first priority nor a second priority security interest is available, or (y) if the
Managing Member otherwise determines in its good faith judgment that a security interest in Firm Collateral (and the corresponding documents and actions) are not necessary or appropriate, the Member or Withdrawn Member shall (in the case of either
clause (x) or (y) above) irrevocably instruct in writing the relevant partnership, limited liability company or other entity listed in the Company’s books and records to remit any and all net proceeds resulting from a Firm Collateral
Realization on such Firm Collateral to the Trustee(s) as more fully provided in clause (B) below. The Company shall, at the request of any Member or Withdrawn Member, assist such Member or Withdrawn Member in taking such action as is necessary
to enable such Member or Withdrawn Member to use Firm Collateral as provided hereunder. 

  
 32 










	 	(B)	If upon a sale or other realization of all or any portion of any Firm Collateral (a “Firm Collateral Realization”), the remaining Firm Collateral is
insufficient to cover any Member’s or Withdrawn Member’s Excess Holdback requirement, then up to 100% of the net proceeds otherwise distributable to such Member or Withdrawn Member from such Firm Collateral Realization (including
distributions subject to the repayment of financing sources as in the case of Pledgable Blackstone Interests) shall be paid into the Trust Account to fully satisfy such Excess Holdback requirement (allocated to such Member or Withdrawn Member) and
shall be deemed to be Trust Amounts for purposes hereunder. Any net proceeds from such Firm Collateral Realization in excess of the amount necessary to satisfy such Excess Holdback requirement shall be distributed to such Member or Withdrawn Member.


  

	 	(C)	Upon any valuation or revaluation of Firm Collateral that results in a decreased valuation of such Firm Collateral so that such Firm Collateral is insufficient to cover
any Member’s or Withdrawn Member’s Excess Holdback requirement (including upon a Firm Collateral Realization, if net proceeds therefrom and the remaining Firm Collateral are insufficient to cover any Member’s or Withdrawn
Member’s Excess Holdback requirement), the Company shall provide notice of the foregoing to such Member or Withdrawn Member and such Member or Withdrawn Member shall, within 30 days of receiving such notice, contribute cash (or additional Firm
Collateral) to the Trust Account in an amount necessary to satisfy his Excess Holdback requirement. If any such Member or Withdrawn Member defaults upon his obligations under this clause (C), then Section 5.8(d)(ii) shall apply thereto;
provided, that clause (A) of the first sentence of Section 5.8(d)(ii) shall be deemed inapplicable to a default under this clause (C); provided further, that for purposes of applying Section 5.8(d)(ii) to a
default under this clause (C): (I) the term “GP-Related Defaulting Party” where such term appears in such Section 5.8(d)(ii) shall be construed as “defaulting party” for purposes hereof and (II) the terms “Net
GP-Related Recontribution Amount” and “GP-Related Recontribution Amount” where such terms appear in such Section 5.8(d)(ii) shall be construed as the amount due pursuant to this clause (C).


(vi) Any Member or Withdrawn Member may (A) obtain the release of any Trust Amounts (but not the Trust Income thereon
which shall remain in the Trust Account and allocated to such Member or Withdrawn Member) or Firm Collateral, in each case, held in the Trust Account for the benefit of such Member or Withdrawn Member or (B) require the Company to distribute
all or any portion of amounts otherwise required to be placed in the Trust Account (whether cash or Firm Collateral), by obtaining a letter of credit (an “L/C”) for the benefit of the Trustee(s) in such amounts. Any Member or
Withdrawn Member choosing to furnish an L/C to the Trustee(s) (in

such capacity, an “L/C Member”) shall deliver to the Trustee(s) an unconditional and irrevocable L/C from a commercial bank whose (x) short-term deposits are rated at least
A-1 by S&P and P-1 by Moody’s (if the L/C is for a term of 1 year or less), or (y) long-term deposits are rated at least A+ by S&P or A1 by Moody’s (if the L/C is for a term of 1 year or more) (each a “Required
Rating”). If the relevant rating of the commercial bank issuing such L/C drops below the relevant Required Rating, the L/C Member shall supply to the Trustee(s), within 30 days of such occurrence, a new L/C from a commercial bank whose
relevant rating is at least equal to the relevant Required Rating, in lieu of the insufficient L/C. In addition, if the L/C has a term expiring on a date earlier than the latest possible termination date of BTO, the Trustee(s) shall be permitted to
drawdown on such L/C if the L/C Member fails to provide a new L/C from a commercial bank whose relevant rating is at least equal to the relevant Required Rating, at least 30 days prior to the stated expiration date of such existing L/C. The
Trustee(s) shall notify an L/C Member 10 days prior to drawing on any L/C. The Trustee(s) may (as directed by the Company in the case of clause (I) below) draw down on an L/C only if (I) such a drawdown is necessary to satisfy an L/C
Member’s obligation relating to the Company’s obligations under the Clawback Provisions or (II) an L/C Member has not provided a new L/C from a commercial bank whose relevant rating is at least equal to the relevant Required Rating (or the
requisite amount of cash and/or Firm Collateral (to the extent permitted hereunder)), at least 30 days prior to the stated expiration of an existing L/C in accordance with this clause (vi). The Trustee(s), as directed by the Company, shall return to
any L/C Member his L/C upon (1) the termination of the Trust Account and satisfaction of the Company’s obligations, if any, in respect of the Clawback Provisions, (2) an L/C Member satisfying his entire Holdback obligation in cash and
Firm Collateral (to the extent permitted hereunder), or (3) the release, by the Trustee(s), as directed by the Company, of all amounts in the Trust Account to the Members or Withdrawn Members. If an L/C Member satisfies a portion of his
Holdback obligation in cash and/or Firm Collateral (to the extent permitted hereunder) or if the Trustee(s), as directed by the Company, release a portion of the amounts in the Trust Account to the Members or Withdrawn Members in the Member Category
of such L/C Member, the L/C of an L/C Member may be reduced by an amount corresponding to such portion satisfied in cash and/or Firm Collateral (to the extent permitted hereunder) or such portion released by the Trustee(s), as directed by the
Company; provided, that in no way shall the general release of any Trust Income cause an L/C Member to be permitted to reduce the amount of an L/C by any amount. 

(vii) (A) Any in-kind distributions by the Company relating to Carried Interest shall be made in accordance herewith as
though such distributions consisted of cash. The Company may direct the Trustee(s) to dispose of any in-kind distributions held in the Trust Account at any time. The net proceeds therefrom shall be treated as though initially contributed to the
Trust Account. 
  

	 	(B)	 In lieu of the foregoing, any Existing Member may pledge with respect to any in-kind distribution the Special Firm Collateral referred to in the
applicable category in the Company’s books and records; provided, that the initial contribution of such Special Firm Collateral shall initially equal 130% of the required Holdback Amount for a period of 90




  
 34 










	 	
days, and thereafter shall equal at least 115% of the required Holdback Amount. Paragraphs 4.1(d)(viii)(C) and (D) shall apply to such Special Firm Collateral. To the extent such Special
Firm Collateral exceeds the applicable minimum percentage of the required Holdback Amount specified in the first sentence of this clause (vii)(B), the related Member may obtain a release of such excess amount from the Trust Account.


 (viii) (A) Any Regular Member or Withdrawn Member may satisfy all or any portion of his Holdback
(excluding any Excess Holdback), and such Member or a Withdrawn Member may, to the extent his Holdback (excluding any Excess Holdback) has been previously been satisfied in cash or by the use of an L/C as provided herein, obtain a release of Trust
Amounts (but not the Trust Income thereon which shall remain in the Trust Account and allocated to such Member or Withdrawn Member) that satisfy such Member’s or Withdrawn Member’s Holdback (excluding any Excess Holdback) by pledging to
the Trustee(s) on a first priority basis all of his Special Firm Collateral in a particular Qualifying Fund, which at all times must equal or exceed the amount of the Holdback distributed to the Member or Withdrawn Member (as more fully set forth
below). Any Member seeking to satisfy such Member’s Holdback utilizing Special Firm Collateral shall sign such documents and otherwise take such other action as is necessary or appropriate (in the good faith judgment of the Managing Member) to
perfect a first priority security interest in, and otherwise assure the ability of the Trustee(s) to realize on (if required), such Special Firm Collateral. 
  

	 	(B)	If upon a distribution, withdrawal, sale, liquidation or other realization of all or any portion of any Special Firm Collateral (a “Special Firm Collateral
Realization”), the remaining Special Firm Collateral (which shall not include the amount of Firm Collateral that consists of a Qualifying Fund and is being used in connection with an Excess Holdback) is insufficient to cover any
Member’s or Withdrawn Member’s Holdback (when taken together with other means of satisfying the Holdback as provided herein (i.e., cash contributed to the Trust Account or an L/C in the Trust Account)), then up to 100% of the net proceeds
otherwise distributable to such Member or Withdrawn Member from such Special Firm Collateral Realization (which shall not include the amount of Firm Collateral that consists of a Qualifying Fund or other asset and is being used in connection with an
Excess Holdback) shall be paid into the Trust (and allocated to such Member or Withdrawn Member) to fully satisfy such Holdback and shall be deemed thereafter to be Trust Amounts for purposes hereunder. Any net proceeds from such Special Firm
Collateral Realization in excess of the amount necessary to satisfy such Holdback (excluding any Excess Holdback) shall be distributed to such Member or Withdrawn Member. To the extent a Qualifying Fund distributes Securities to a Member or
Withdrawn Member in connection with a Special Firm Collateral Realization, such Member or Withdrawn Member shall be required to promptly fund such Member’s or Withdrawn Member’s deficiency with respect to his Holdback in cash or an L/C.



  
 35 










	 	(C)	Upon any valuation or revaluation of the Special Firm Collateral and/or any adjustment in the Applicable Collateral Percentage applicable to a Qualifying Fund (as
provided in the Company’s books and records), if such Member’s or Withdrawn Member’s Special Firm Collateral is valued at less than such Member’s Holdback (excluding any Excess Holdback) as provided in the Company’s books
and records, taking into account other permitted means of satisfying the Holdback hereunder, the Company shall provide notice of the foregoing to such Member or Withdrawn Member and, within 10 business days of receiving such notice, such Member or
Withdrawn Member shall contribute cash or additional Special Firm Collateral to the Trust Account in an amount necessary to make up such deficiency. If any such Member or Withdrawn Member defaults upon his obligations under this clause (C), then
Section 5.8(d)(ii) shall apply thereto; provided, that the first sentence of Section 5.8(d)(ii)(A) shall be deemed inapplicable to such default; provided further, that for purposes of applying Section 5.8(d)(ii)
to a default under this clause (C): (I) the term “GP-Related Defaulting Party” where such term appears in such Section 5.8(d)(ii) shall be construed as “defaulting party” for purposes hereof and (II) the terms “Net
GP-Related Recontribution Amount” and “GP-Related Recontribution Amount” where such terms appear in such Section 5.8(d)(ii) shall be construed as the amount due pursuant to this clause (C). 


 

	 	(D)	Upon a Member becoming a Withdrawn Member, at any time thereafter the Managing Member may revoke the ability of such Withdrawn Member to use Special Firm Collateral as
set forth in this Section 4.1(d)(viii), notwithstanding anything else in this Section 4.1(d)(viii). In that case the provisions of clause (C) above shall apply to the Withdrawn Member’s obligation to satisfy the Holdback (except
that 30 days’ notice of such revocation shall be given), given that the Special Firm Collateral is no longer available to satisfy any portion of the Holdback (excluding any Excess Holdback). 


 

	 	(E)	Nothing in this Section 4.1(d)(viii) shall prevent any Member or Withdrawn Member from using any amount of such Member’s interest in a Qualifying Fund as Firm
Collateral; provided that at all times Section 4.1(d)(v) and this Section 4.1(d)(viii) are each satisfied. 

 4.2. Interest. Interest on the balances of the Members’ capital related to the Members’ GP-Related Member Interests (excluding capital invested in GP-Related Investments and, if deemed
appropriate by the Managing Member, capital invested in any other investment of the Company) shall be credited to the Members’ GP-Related Capital Accounts at the end of each accounting period pursuant to Section 5.2, or at any other time
as determined by the Managing Member, at rates determined by the Managing Member from time to time, and shall be charged as an expense of the Company. 

  
 36 









 4.3. Withdrawals of Capital. No Member may withdraw capital related to such
Member’s GP-Related Member Interest from the Company except (i) for distributions of cash or other property pursuant to Section 5.8, (ii) as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or (iii) as determined by the
Managing Member. 
 ARTICLE V 
 PARTICIPATION IN PROFITS AND LOSSES 
 5.1. General Accounting Matters.
(a) GP-Related Net Income (Loss) shall be determined by the Managing Member at the end of each accounting period and shall be allocated as described in Section 5.4. 
 (b) “GP-Related Net Income (Loss)” from any activity of the Company related to the GP-Related BTO Interest for any accounting period means (i) the gross income realized by the
Company from such activity during such accounting period less (ii) all expenses of the Company, and all other items that are deductible from gross income, for such accounting period that are allocable to such activity (determined as provided
below). 
 “GP-Related Net Income (Loss)” from any GP-Related Investment for any accounting period in which such GP-Related
Investment has not been sold or otherwise disposed of means (i) the gross amount of dividends, interest or other income received by the Company from such GP-Related Investment during such accounting period less (ii) all expenses of the
Company for such accounting period that are allocable to such GP-Related Investment (determined as provided below). 
 “GP-Related Net
Income (Loss)” from any GP-Related Investment for the accounting period in which such GP-Related Investment is sold or otherwise disposed of means (i) the sum of the gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of such GP-Related
Investment and the gross amount of dividends, interest or other income received by the Company from such GP-Related Investment during such accounting period less (ii) the sum of the cost or other basis to the Company of such GP-Related
Investment and all expenses of the Company for such accounting period that are allocable to such GP-Related Investment. 
 GP-Related Net Income
(Loss) shall be determined in accordance with the accounting method used by the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the following adjustments: (i) any income of the Company that is exempt from U.S. federal income taxation and not
otherwise taken into account in computing GP-Related Net Income (Loss) shall be added to such taxable income or loss; (ii) if any asset has a value on the books of the Company that differs from its adjusted tax basis for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, any depreciation, amortization or gain resulting from a disposition of such asset shall be calculated with reference to such value; (iii) upon an adjustment to the value of any asset on the books of the Company pursuant to Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2), the amount of the adjustment shall be included as gain or loss in computing such taxable income or loss; (iv) any expenditures of the Company not deductible in computing taxable income or loss, not properly
capitalizable and not otherwise taken into account in computing GP-Related Net Income (Loss) pursuant to this definition shall be treated as deductible items; (v) any income from a GP-Related Investment that is payable to Company


  
 37 









 
employees in respect of “phantom interests” in such GP-Related Investment awarded by the Managing Member to employees shall be included as an expense in the calculation of GP-Related
Net Income (Loss) from such GP-Related Investment, and (vi) items of income and expense (including interest income and overhead and other indirect expenses) of the Company, Holdings and other Affiliates of the Company shall be allocated among
the Company, Holdings and such Affiliates, among various Company activities and GP-Related Investments and between accounting periods, in each case as determined by the Managing Member. Any adjustments to GP-Related Net Income (Loss) by the Managing
Member, including adjustments for items of income accrued but not yet received, unrealized gains, items of expense accrued but not yet paid, unrealized losses, reserves (including reserves for taxes, bad debts, actual or threatened litigation, or
any other expenses, contingencies or obligations) and other appropriate items shall be made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”); provided, that the Managing Member shall not be required
to make any such adjustment. 
 (c) An accounting period shall be a Fiscal Year, except that, at the option of the Managing
Member, an accounting period will terminate and a new accounting period will begin on the admission date of an additional Member or the Settlement Date of a Withdrawn Member, if any such date is not the first day of a Fiscal Year. If any event
referred to in the preceding sentence occurs and the Managing Member does not elect to terminate an accounting period and begin a new accounting period, then the Managing Member may make such adjustments as it deems appropriate to the Members’
GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages for the accounting period in which such event occurs (prior to any allocations of GP-Related Unallocated Percentages or adjustments to GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages pursuant to Section 5.3) to
reflect the Members’ average GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages during such accounting period; provided, that the GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages of Members in GP-Related Net Income (Loss) from GP-Related Investments acquired
during such accounting period will be based on GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages in effect when each such GP-Related Investment was acquired. 
 (d) In establishing GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages and allocating GP-Related Unallocated Percentages pursuant to Section 5.3, the Managing Member may consider such factors as it deems
appropriate. 
 (e) All determinations, valuations and other matters of judgment required to be made for accounting purposes
under this Agreement shall be made by the Managing Member and approved by the Company’s independent accountants. Such approved determinations, valuations and other accounting matters shall be conclusive and binding on all Members, all Withdrawn
Members, their successors, heirs, estates or legal representatives and any other person, and to the fullest extent permitted by law no such person shall have the right to an accounting or an appraisal of the assets of the Company or any successor
thereto. 
 5.2. GP-Related Capital Accounts. (a) There shall be established for each Member on the books of the
Company, to the extent and at such times as may be appropriate, one or more capital accounts as the Managing Member may deem to be appropriate for purposes of accounting for such Member’s interests in the capital of the Company related to the
GP-Related BTO Interest and the GP-Related Net Income (Loss) of the Company (each a “GP-Related Capital Account”). 

  
 38 









 (b) As of the end of each accounting period or, in the case of a contribution to the Company
by one or more of the Members with respect to such Member or Members’ GP-Related Member Interests or a distribution by the Company to one or more of the Members with respect to such Member or Members’ GP-Related Member Interests, at the
time of such contribution or distribution, (i) the appropriate GP-Related Capital Accounts of each Member shall be credited with the following amounts: (A) the amount of cash and the value of any property contributed by such Member to the
capital of the Company related to such Member’s GP-Related Member Interest during such accounting period, (B) the GP-Related Net Income allocated to such Member for such accounting period and (C) the interest credited on the balance
of such Member’s capital related to such Member’s GP-Related Member Interest for such accounting period pursuant to Section 4.2; and (ii) the appropriate GP-Related Capital Accounts of each Member shall be debited with the
following amounts: (x) the amount of cash, the principal amount of any subordinated promissory note of the Company referred to in Section 6.5 (as such amount is paid) and the value of any property distributed to such Member during such
accounting period with respect to such Member’s GP-Related Member Interest and (y) the GP-Related Net Loss allocated to such Member for such accounting period. 
 5.3. GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages. (a) Prior to the beginning of each annual accounting period, the Managing Member shall establish the profit sharing percentage (the
“GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentage”) of each Member in each category of GP-Related Net Income (Loss) for such annual accounting period pursuant to Section 5.1(a) taking into account such factors as the Managing Member deems
appropriate; provided, that (i) the Managing Member may elect to establish GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages in GP-Related Net Income (Loss) from any GP-Related Investment acquired by the Company during such accounting period at the
time such GP-Related Investment is acquired in accordance with paragraph (d) below and (ii) GP-Related Net Income (Loss) for such accounting period from any GP-Related Investment shall be allocated in accordance with the GP-Related Profit
Sharing Percentages in such GP-Related Investment established in accordance with paragraph (d) below. The Managing Member may establish different GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages for any Member in different categories of GP-Related Net
Income (Loss). In the case of the Withdrawal of a Member, such former Member’s GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages shall be allocated by the Managing Member to one or more of the remaining Members as the Managing Member shall determine. In
the case of the admission of any Member to the Company as an additional Member, the GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages of the other Members shall be reduced by an amount equal to the GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentage allocated to such new
Member pursuant to Section 6.1(b); such reduction of each other Member’s GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentage shall be pro rata based upon such Member’s GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentage as in effect immediately prior to the
admission of the new Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Managing Member may also adjust the GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentage of any Member for any annual accounting period at the end of such annual accounting period in its sole
discretion. 
 (b) The Managing Member may elect to allocate to the Members less than 100% of the GP-Related Profit Sharing
Percentages of any category for any annual accounting period at the time specified in Section 5.3(a) for the annual fixing of GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages (any remainder of such GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages being called an
“GP-Related Unallocated Percentage”); provided, that any GP-Related Unallocated Percentage 

  
 39 









 
in any category of GP-Related Net Income (Loss) for any annual accounting period that is not allocated by the Managing Member within 90 days after the end of such accounting period shall be
deemed to be allocated among all the Members (including the Managing Member) in the manner determined by the Managing Member in its sole discretion. 
 (c) Unless otherwise determined by the Managing Member in a particular case, (i) GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages in GP-Related Net Income (Loss) from any GP-Related Investment shall be
allocated in proportion to the Members’ respective GP-Related Capital Contributions in respect of such GP-Related Investment and (ii) GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages in GP-Related Net Income (Loss) from each GP-Related Investment
shall be fixed at the time such GP-Related Investment is acquired and shall not thereafter change, subject to any repurchase rights established by the Managing Member pursuant to Section 5.7. 

5.4. Allocations of GP-Related Net Income (Loss). (a) Except as provided in Section 5.4(d), GP-Related Net Income of the
Company for each GP-Related Investment shall be allocated to the GP-Related Capital Accounts related to such GP-Related Investment of all the Members participating in such GP-Related Investment (including the Managing Member): first, in proportion
to and to the extent of the amount of Non-Carried Interest (other than amounts representing a return of GP-Related Capital Contributions) or Carried Interest distributed to the Members; second, to Members that received Non-Carried Interest (other
than amounts representing a return of GP-Related Capital Contributions) or Carried Interest in years prior to the years such GP-Related Net Income is being allocated to the extent such Non-Carried Interest (other than amounts representing a return
of GP-Related Capital Contributions) or Carried Interest exceeded GP-Related Net Income allocated to such Members in such earlier years; and third, to the Members in the same manner that such Non-Carried Interest (other than amounts representing a
return of GP-Related Capital Contributions) or Carried Interest would have been distributed if cash were available to distribute with respect thereto. 
 (b) GP-Related Net Loss of the Company shall be allocated as follows: (i) GP-Related Net Loss relating to realized losses suffered by BTO and allocated to the Company with respect to its pro rata
share thereof (based on capital contributions made by the Company to BTO with respect to the GP-Related BTO Interest) shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with each Member’s Non-Carried Interest Sharing Percentage with respect to the
GP-Related Investment giving rise to such loss suffered by BTO and (ii) GP-Related Net Loss relating to realized losses suffered by BTO and allocated to the Company with respect to the Carried Interest shall be allocated in accordance with a
Member’s (including a Withdrawn Member’s) Carried Interest Give Back Percentage (as of the date of such loss) (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5.8(e)). 

(c) Notwithstanding Section 5.4(a) above, GP-Related Net Income relating to Carried Interest allocated after the allocation of a
GP-Related Net Loss pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 5.4(b) shall be allocated in accordance with such Carried Interest Give Back Percentages until such time as the Members have been allocated GP-Related Net Income relating to Carried
Interest equal to the aggregate amount of GP-Related Net Loss previously allocated in accordance with clause (ii) of Section 5.4(b). Withdrawn Members shall remain Members for purposes of allocating such GP-Related Net Loss with respect to
Carried Interest. 

  
 40 









 (d) To the extent the Company has any GP-Related Net Income (Loss) for any accounting period
unrelated to BTO, such GP-Related Net Income (Loss) will be allocated in accordance with GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages prevailing at the beginning of such accounting period. 

(e) The Managing Member may authorize from time to time advances to Members (including any additional Member admitted to the Company
pursuant to Section 6.1 but excluding any Members who are also executive officers of The Blackstone Group L.P. or any Affiliate thereof) against their allocable shares of GP-Related Net Income (Loss). 

5.5. Liability of Members. Except as otherwise provided in the LLC Act or as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Member shall
be personally obligated for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company or of any other Member solely by reason of being a Member. In no event shall any Member or Withdrawn Member (i) be obligated to make any capital contribution or
payment to or on behalf of the Company or (ii) have any liability to return distributions received by such Member from the Company, in each case except as specifically provided in Sections 4.1(d) or 5.8 or otherwise in this Agreement, as such
Member shall otherwise expressly agree in writing or as may be required by applicable law. 
 5.6. [Intentionally
omitted.] 
 5.7. Repurchase Rights, etc.. The Managing Member may from time to time establish such repurchase rights
and/or other requirements with respect to the Members’ GP-Related Member Interests relating to GP-Related BTO Investments as the Managing Member may determine. The Managing Member shall have authority to (a) withhold any distribution
otherwise payable to any Member until any such repurchase rights have lapsed or any such requirements have been satisfied, (b) pay any distribution to any Member that is Contingent as of the distribution date and require the refund of any
portion of such distribution that is Contingent as of the Withdrawal Date of such Member, (c) amend any previously established repurchase rights or other requirements from time to time and (d) make such exceptions thereto as it may
determine on a case by case basis. 
 5.8. Distributions. (a) (i) The Company shall make distributions of
available cash (subject to reserves and other adjustments as provided herein) or other property to Members with respect to such Members’ GP-Related Member Interests at such times and in such amounts as are determined by the Managing Member. The
Managing Member shall, if it deems it appropriate, determine the availability for distribution of, and distribute, cash or other property separately for each category of GP-Related Net Income (Loss) established pursuant to Section 5.1(a).
Distributions of cash or other property with respect to Non-Carried Interest shall be made among the Members in accordance with their respective Non-Carried Interest Sharing Percentages, and, subject to Sections 4.1(d) and 5.8(e), distributions of
cash or other property with respect to Carried Interest shall be made among Members in accordance with their respective Carried Interest Sharing Percentages. 
 (ii) At any time that a sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition by BTO of a portion of a GP-Related Investment is being considered by the Company (a “GP-Related Disposable
Investment”), at the election of the Managing Member each Member’s GP-Related 

  
 41 









 
Member Interest with respect to such GP-Related Investment shall be vertically divided into two separate GP-Related Member Interests, a GP-Related Member Interest attributable to the GP-Related
Disposable Investment (a Member’s “GP-Related Class B Interest”), and a GP-Related Member Interest attributable to such GP-Related Investment excluding the GP-Related Disposable Investment (a Member’s “GP-Related
Class A Interest”). Distributions (including those resulting from a sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition by BTO) relating to a GP-Related Disposable Investment (with respect to both Carried Interest and Non-Carried Interest)
shall be made only to holders of GP-Related Class B Interests with respect to such GP-Related Investment in accordance with their GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages relating to such GP-Related Class B Interests, and distributions (including those
resulting from the sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition by BTO) relating to a GP-Related Investment excluding such GP-Related Disposable Investment (with respect to both Carried Interest and Non-Carried Interest) shall be made only to
holders of GP-Related Class A Interests with respect to such GP-Related Investment in accordance with their respective GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages relating to such GP-Related Class A Interests. Except as provided above,
distributions of cash or other property with respect to each category of GP-Related Net Income (Loss) shall be allocated among the Members in the same proportions as the allocations of GP-Related Net Income (Loss) of each such category. 

(b) Subject to the Company’s having sufficient available cash in the reasonable judgment of the Managing Member, the Company shall
make cash distributions to each Member with respect to each Fiscal Year of the Company in an aggregate amount at least equal to the total Federal, New York State and New York City income and other taxes that would be payable by such Member with
respect to all categories of GP-Related Net Income (Loss) allocated to such Member for such Fiscal Year, the amount of which shall be calculated (i) on the assumption that each Member is an individual subject to the then prevailing maximum
Federal, New York State and New York City and other income tax rates, (ii) taking into account the deductibility of State and local income and other taxes for Federal income tax purposes and (iii) taking into account any differential in
applicable rates due to the type and character of GP-Related Net Income (Loss) allocated to such Member. Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing sentence, the Managing Member may refrain from making any distribution if, in the reasonable
judgment of the Managing Member, such distribution is prohibited by § 18-607 of the LLC Act. 
 (c) The Managing Member may
provide that the GP-Related Member Interest of any Member or employee (including such Member’s or employee’s right to distributions and investments of the Company related thereto) may be subject to repurchase by the Company during such
period as the Managing Member shall determine (a “Repurchase Period”). Any Contingent distributions from GP-Related Investments subject to repurchase rights will be withheld by the Company and will be distributed to the recipient
thereof (together with interest thereon at rates determined by the Managing Member from time to time) as the recipient’s rights to such distributions become Non-Contingent (by virtue of the expiration of the applicable Repurchase Period or
otherwise). The Managing Member may elect in an individual case to have the Company distribute any Contingent distribution to the applicable recipient thereof irrespective of whether the applicable Repurchase Period has lapsed. If a Member Withdraws
from the Company for any reason other than his death, Total Disability or Incompetence, the undistributed share of any GP-Related Investment that remains Contingent 

  
 42 









 
as of the applicable Withdrawal Date shall be repurchased by the Company at a purchase price determined at such time by the Managing Member. Unless determined otherwise by the Managing Member,
the repurchased portion thereof will be allocated among the remaining Members with interests in such GP-Related Investment in proportion to their respective percentage interests in such GP-Related Investment, or if no other Member has a percentage
interest in such specific GP-Related Investment, to the Managing Member; provided, that the Managing Member may allocate the Withdrawn Member’s share of unrealized investment income from a repurchased GP-Related Investment attributable
to the period after the Withdrawn Member’s Withdrawal Date on any basis it may determine, including to existing or new Members who did not previously have interests in such GP-Related Investment, except that, in any event, each Investor Special
Member shall be allocated a share of such unrealized investment income equal to its respective GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentage of such unrealized investment income. 
 (d) (i) (A) If Associates is obligated under the Clawback Provisions or Giveback Provisions to contribute to BTO a Clawback Amount or a Giveback Amount (other than a Capital Commitment Giveback
Amount) and the Company is obligated to contribute any such amount to Associates in respect of the Company’s GP-Related Associates Member Interest (the amount of any such obligation of the Company with respect to such a Giveback Amount being
herein called a “GP-Related Giveback Amount”), the Company shall call for such amounts as are necessary to satisfy such obligations of the Company as determined by the Managing Member, in which case each Member and Withdrawn Member
shall contribute to the Company, in cash, when and as called by the Company, such an amount of prior distributions by the Company (and the Other Fund GPs) with respect to Carried Interest (and/or Non-Carried Interest in the case of a GP-Related
Giveback Amount) (the “GP-Related Recontribution Amount”) which equals (I) the product of (a) a Member’s or Withdrawn Member’s Carried Interest Give Back Percentage and (b) the aggregate Clawback Amount
payable by the Company in the case of Clawback Amounts and (II) with respect to a GP-Related Giveback Amount, such Member’s pro rata share of prior distributions of Carried Interest and/or Non-Carried Interest in connection with (a) the
GP-Related BTO Investment giving rise to the GP-Related Giveback Amount, (b) if the amounts contributed pursuant to clause (II)(a) above are insufficient to satisfy such GP-Related Giveback Amount, GP-Related BTO Investments other than the one
giving rise to such obligation, but only those amounts received by the Members with an interest in the GP-Related BTO Investment referred to in clause (II)(a) above, and (c) if the GP-Related Giveback Amount pursuant to an applicable BTO
Agreement is unrelated to a specific GP-Related BTO Investment, all GP-Related BTO Investments. Each Member and Withdrawn Member shall promptly contribute to the Company, along with satisfying his comparable obligations to the Other Fund GPs, if
any, upon such call such Member’s or Withdrawn Member’s GP-Related Recontribution Amount, less the amount paid out of the Trust Account on behalf of such Member or Withdrawn Member by the Trustee(s) pursuant to written instructions from
the Company, or if applicable, any of the Other Fund GPs with respect to Carried Interest (and/or Non-Carried Interest in the case of GP-Related Giveback Amounts) (the “Net GP-Related Recontribution Amount”), irrespective of the
fact that the amounts in the Trust Account may be sufficient on an aggregate basis to satisfy the Company’s and the Other Fund GPs’ obligation under the Clawback Provisions and/or Giveback Provisions; provided, that to the extent a
Member’s or Withdrawn Member’s share of the amount paid with respect to the Clawback Amount or the GP-Related 

  
 43 









 
Giveback Amount exceeds his GP-Related Recontribution Amount, such excess shall be repaid to such Member or Withdrawn Member as promptly as reasonably practicable, subject to clause
(ii) below; provided further, that such written instructions from the Company shall specify each Member’s and Withdrawn Member’s GP-Related Recontribution Amount. Prior to such time, the Company may, in its discretion
(but shall be under no obligation to), provide notice that in the Company’s judgment, the potential obligations in respect of the Clawback Provisions or the Giveback Provisions will probably materialize (and an estimate of the aggregate amount
of such obligations); provided further, that any amount from a Member’s Trust Account used to pay any GP-Related Giveback Amount (or such lesser amount as may be required by the Managing Member) shall be contributed by such Member
to such Member’s Trust Account no later than 30 days after the Net GP-Related Recontribution Amount is paid with respect to such GP-Related Giveback Amount. 
  

	 	(B)	To the extent any Member or Withdrawn Member has satisfied any Holdback obligation with Firm Collateral, such Member or Withdrawn Member shall, within 10 days of the
Company’s call for GP-Related Recontribution Amounts, make a cash payment into the Trust Account in an amount equal to the amount of the Holdback obligation satisfied with such Firm Collateral, or such lesser amount such that the amount in the
Trust Account allocable to such Member or Withdrawn Member equals the sum of (I) such Member’s or Withdrawn Member’s GP-Related Recontribution Amount and (II) any similar amounts payable to any of the Other Fund GPs. Immediately
upon receipt of such cash, the Trustee(s) shall take such steps as are necessary to release such Firm Collateral of such Member or Withdrawn Member equal to the amount of such cash payment. If the amount of such cash payment is less than the amount
of Firm Collateral of such Member or Withdrawn Member, the balance of such Firm Collateral if any, shall be retained to secure the payment of GP-Related Deficiency Contributions, if any, and shall be fully released upon the satisfaction of the
Company’s and the Other Fund GPs’ obligation to pay the Clawback Amount. The failure of any Member or Withdrawn Member to make a cash payment in accordance with this clause (B) (to the extent applicable) shall constitute a default
under Section 5.8(d)(ii) as if such cash payment hereunder constitutes a Net GP-Related Recontribution Amount under Section 5.8(d)(ii). 

 (ii) (A) In the event any Member or Withdrawn Member (a “GP-Related Defaulting Party”) fails to recontribute all or any portion of such GP-Related Defaulting Party’s Net GP-Related
Recontribution Amount for any reason, the Company shall require all other Members and Withdrawn Members to contribute, on a pro rata basis (based on each of their respective Carried Interest Give Back Percentages in the case of Clawback Amounts, and
GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages in the case of GP-Related Giveback Amounts (as more fully described in clause (II) of Section 5.8(d)(i)(A) above)), such amounts as are necessary to fulfill the GP-Related Defaulting Party’s obligation
to pay such GP-Related Defaulting Party’s Net GP-Related Recontribution Amount (a “GP-Related Deficiency Contribution”) if the Managing Member determines in its good faith judgment that the Company (or an Other Fund GP) will be
unable to collect such amount in cash from such GP-Related Defaulting Party for payment 

  
 44 









 
of the Clawback Amount or GP-Related Giveback Amount, as the case may be, at least 20 Business Days prior to the latest date that the Company, and the Other Fund GPs, if applicable, are permitted
to pay the Clawback Amount or GP-Related Giveback Amount, as the case may be; provided, that, subject to Section 5.8(e), no Member or Withdrawn Member shall as a result of such GP-Related Deficiency Contribution be required to contribute
an amount in excess of 150% of the amount of the Net GP-Related Recontribution Amount initially requested from such Member or Withdrawn Member in respect of such default. Thereafter, the Managing Member shall determine in its good faith judgment
that the Company should either (1) not attempt to collect such amount in light of the costs associated therewith, the likelihood of recovery and any other factors considered relevant in the good faith judgment of the Managing Member or
(2) pursue any and all remedies (at law or equity) available to the Company against the GP-Related Defaulting Party, the cost of which shall be a Company expense to the extent not ultimately reimbursed by the GP-Related Defaulting Party. It is
agreed that the Company shall have the right (effective upon such GP-Related Defaulting Party becoming a GP-Related Defaulting Party) to set-off as appropriate and apply against such GP-Related Defaulting Party’s Net GP-Related Recontribution
Amount any amounts otherwise payable to the GP-Related Defaulting Party by the Company or any Affiliate thereof (including amounts unrelated to Carried Interest, such as returns of capital and profit thereon). Each Member and Withdrawn Member hereby
grants to the Company a security interest, effective upon such Member or Withdrawn Member becoming a GP-Related Defaulting Party, in all accounts receivable and other rights to receive payment from any Affiliate of the Company and agrees that, upon
the effectiveness of such security interest, the Company may sell, collect or otherwise realize upon such collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Member and Withdrawn Member hereby appoints the Company as its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority, in the name of such Member or Withdrawn Member or in the name of the Company, to take any actions which may be necessary to accomplish the intent of the immediately preceding sentence. The
Company shall be entitled to collect interest on the Net GP-Related Recontribution Amount of a GP-Related Defaulting Party from the date such GP-Related Recontribution Amount was required to be contributed to the Company at a rate equal to the
Default Interest Rate. 
  

	 	(B)	Any Member’s or Withdrawn Member’s failure to make a GP-Related Deficiency Contribution shall cause such Member or Withdrawn Member to be a GP-Related
Defaulting Party with respect to such amount. The Company shall first seek any remaining Trust Amounts (and Trust Income thereon) allocated to such Member or Withdrawn Member to satisfy such Member’s or Withdrawn Member’s obligation to
make a GP-Related Deficiency Contribution before seeking cash contributions from such Member or Withdrawn Member in satisfaction of such Member’s or Withdrawn Member’s obligation to make a GP-Related Deficiency Contribution.



  
 45 









 (iii) In the event any Member or Withdrawn Member initially fails to
recontribute all or any portion of such Member or Withdrawn Member’s pro rata share of any Clawback Amount pursuant to Section 5.8(d)(i)(A), the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to collect the amount which such Member or Withdrawn
Member so fails to recontribute. 
 (iv) A Member’s or Withdrawn Member’s obligation to make
contributions to the Company under this Section 5.8(d) shall survive the termination of the Company. 
 (e) The Members
acknowledge that the Managing Member will (and is hereby authorized to) take such steps as it deems appropriate, in its good faith judgment, to further the objective of providing for the fair and equitable treatment of all Members, including by
allocating Aggregate Net Losses from Writedowns and Losses (as defined in the BTO Agreements) on GP-Related BTO Investments that have been the subject of a writedown and/or Net Realized Loss (each, a “Loss Investment”) to those
Members who participated in such Loss Investments based on their Carried Interest Sharing Percentage therein to the extent that such Members receive or have received Carried Interest distributions from other GP-Related BTO Investments. Consequently
and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, adjustments to Carried Interest distributions shall be made as set forth in this Section 5.8(e). 
 (i) At the time the Company is making Carried Interest distributions in connection with a GP-Related BTO Investment (the “Subject Investment”) that have been reduced under any BTO
Agreement as a result of one or more Loss Investments, the Managing Member shall calculate amounts distributable to or due from each such Member as follows: 
  

	 	(A)	determine each Member’s share of each such Loss Investment based on his Carried Interest Sharing Percentage in each such Loss Investment (which may be zero) to the
extent such Loss Investment has reduced the Carried Interest distributions otherwise available for distribution to all Members (indirectly through the Company from BTO) from the Subject Investment (such reduction, the “Loss
Amount”); 

  

	 	(B)	determine the amount of Carried Interest distributions otherwise distributable to such Member with respect to the Subject Investment (indirectly through the Company
from BTO) before any reduction in respect of the amount determined in clause (A) above (the “Unadjusted Carried Interest Distributions”); and 


 

	 	(C)	subtract (I) the Loss Amounts relating to all Loss Investments from (II) the Unadjusted Carried Interest Distributions for such Member, to determine the amount of
Carried Interest distributions to actually be paid to such Member (“Net Carried Interest Distribution”). 


  
 46 









 To the extent that the Net Carried Interest Distribution for a Member as
calculated in this clause (i) is a negative number, the Managing Member shall (I) notify such Member, at or prior to the time such Carried Interest distributions are actually made to the Members, of his obligation to recontribute to the
Company prior Carried Interest distributions (a “Net Carried Interest Distribution Recontribution Amount”), up to the amount of such negative Net Carried Interest Distribution, and (II) to the extent amounts recontributed pursuant
to clause (I) are insufficient to satisfy such negative Net Carried Interest Distribution amount, reduce future Carried Interest distributions otherwise due such Member, up to the amount of such remaining negative Net Carried Interest
Distribution. If a Member’s (x) Net Carried Interest Distribution Recontribution Amount exceeds (y) the aggregate amount of prior Carried Interest distributions less the amount of tax thereon, calculated based on the Assumed Tax Rate
(as defined in the BTO Agreements) in effect in the Fiscal Years of such distributions (the “Excess Tax-Related Amount”), then such Member may, in lieu of paying such Member’s Excess Tax-Related Amount, defer such amounts as
set forth below. Such deferred amount shall accrue interest at the Prime Rate. Such deferred amounts shall be reduced and repaid by the amount of Carried Interest otherwise distributable to such Member in connection with future Carried Interest
distributions until such balance is reduced to zero. Any deferred amounts shall be payable in full upon the earlier of (i) such time as the Clawback Amount is determined (as provided herein) and (ii) such time as the Member becomes a
Withdrawn Member. 
 To the extent there is an amount of negative Net Carried Interest Distribution with respect
to a Member remaining after the application of this clause (i), notwithstanding clause (II) of the preceding paragraph, such remaining amount of negative Net Carried Interest Distribution shall be allocated to the other Members pro rata based on
each of their Carried Interest Sharing Percentages in the Subject Investment. 
 A Member who fails to pay a Net
Carried Interest Distribution Recontribution Amount promptly upon notice from the Managing Member (as provided above) shall be deemed a GP-Related Defaulting Party for all purposes hereof. 

A Member may satisfy in part any Net Carried Interest Distribution Recontribution Amount from cash that is then subject to
a Holdback, to the extent that the amounts that remain subject to a Holdback satisfy the Holdback requirements hereof as they relate to the reduced amount of aggregate Carried Interest distributions received by such Member (taking into account any
Net Carried Interest Distribution Recontribution Amount contributed to the Company by such Member). 
 Any Net
Carried Interest Distribution Recontribution Amount contributed by a Member, including amounts of cash subject to a Holdback as provided above, shall increase the amount available for distribution to the other Members as Carried Interest
distributions with respect to the Subject Investment; provided, that any such amounts then subject to a Holdback may be so distributed to the other Members to the extent a Member receiving such distribution has satisfied the Holdback
requirements with respect to such distribution (taken together with the other Carried Interest distributions received by such Member to date). 

  
 47 









 (ii) In the case of Clawback Amounts which are required to be contributed to
the Company as otherwise provided herein, the obligation of the Members with respect to any Clawback Amount shall be adjusted by the Managing Member as follows: 
  

	 	(A)	determine each Member’s share of any Net Realized Losses in any GP-Related BTO Investments which gave rise to the Clawback Amount (i.e., the Losses that
followed the last GP-Related BTO Investment with respect to which Carried Interest distributions were made), based on such Member’s Carried Interest Sharing Percentage in such GP-Related BTO Investments; 


 

	 	(B)	determine each Member’s obligation with respect to the Clawback Amount based on such Member’s Carried Interest Give Back Percentage as otherwise provided
herein; and 

  

	 	(C)	subtract the amount determined in clause (B) above from the amount determined in clause (A) above with respect to each Member to determine the amount of
adjustment to each Member’s share of the Clawback Amount (a Member’s “Clawback Adjustment Amount”). 

 A Member’s share of the Clawback Amount shall for all purposes hereof be decreased by such Member’s Clawback Adjustment Amount, to the extent it is a negative number (except to the extent
expressly provided below). A Member’s share of the Clawback Amount shall for all purposes hereof be increased by such Member’s Clawback Adjustment Amount (to the extent it is a positive number); provided, that in no way shall a
Member’s aggregate obligation to satisfy a Clawback Amount as a result of this clause (ii) exceed the aggregate Carried Interest distributions received by such Member. To the extent a positive Clawback Adjustment Amount remains after the
application of this clause (ii) with respect to a Member, such remaining Clawback Adjustment Amount shall be allocated to the Members (including any Member whose Clawback Amount was increased pursuant to this clause (ii)) pro rata based on
their Carried Interest Give Back Percentages (determined without regard to this clause (ii)). 
 Any distribution or
contribution adjustments pursuant to this Section 5.8(e) by the Managing Member shall be based on its good faith judgment, and no Member shall have any claim against the Company, the Managing Member or any other Members as a result of any
adjustment made as set forth above. This Section 5.8(e) applies to all Members, including Withdrawn Members. 
 It is
agreed and acknowledged that this Section 5.8(e) is an agreement among the Members and in no way modifies the obligations of each Member regarding the Clawback Amount as provided in the BTO Agreements. 

5.9. Business Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the Members for reasonable travel, entertainment and miscellaneous expenses
incurred by them in the conduct of the Company’s business in accordance with rules and regulations established by the Managing Member from time to time. 

  
 48 









 5.10. Tax Capital Accounts; Tax Allocations. (a) For Federal income tax purposes,
there shall be established for each Member a single capital account combining such Member’s Capital Commitment Capital Account and GP-Related Capital Account, with such adjustments as the Managing Member determines is appropriate so that such
single capital account is maintained in compliance with the principles and requirements of Section 704(b) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder. 
 (b) For Federal, State and local income tax purposes only, Company income, gain, loss, deduction or expense (or any item thereof) for each fiscal year shall be allocated to and among the Members in a
manner corresponding to the manner in which corresponding items are allocated among the Members pursuant to clause (a) above, provided the Managing Member may in its sole discretion make such allocations for tax purposes as it determines is
appropriate so that allocations have substantial economic effect or are in accordance with the interests of the Members, within the meaning of the Code and the Regulations thereunder. 

ARTICLE VI 

ADDITIONAL MEMBERS; WITHDRAWAL OF MEMBERS; 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF 
 COMPANY INTERESTS; TERMINATION 

6.1. Additional Members. (a) Effective on the first day of any month (or on such other date as shall be determined by the
Managing Member in its sole discretion), the Managing Member shall have the right to admit one or more additional or substitute persons into the Company as Regular Members or Special Members. Each such person shall make the representations and
certifications with respect to itself set forth in Sections 3.6 and 3.7. The Managing Member shall determine and negotiate with the additional Member (which term shall include, without limitation, any substitute Member) all terms of such additional
Member’s participation in the Company, including the additional Member’s initial GP-Related Capital Contribution, Capital Commitment-Related Capital Contribution, GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentage and Capital Commitment Profit Sharing
Percentage. Each additional Member shall have such voting rights as may be determined by the Managing Member from time to time unless, upon the admission to the Company of any Special Member, the Managing Member shall designate that such Special
Member shall not have such voting rights (any such Special Member being called a “Nonvoting Special Member”). Any additional Member shall, as a condition to becoming a Member, agree to become a party to, and be bound by the terms
and conditions of, the Trust Agreement. 
 (b) The GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages, if any, to be allocated to an
additional Member as of the date such Member is admitted to the Company, together with the pro rata reduction in all other Members’ GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages as of such date, shall be established by the Managing Member pursuant to
Section 5.3. The Capital Commitment Profit Sharing Percentages, if any, to be allocated to an additional Member as of the date such Member is admitted to the Company, together with the pro rata reduction in all other Members’ Capital
Commitment Profit Sharing Percentages as of such date, shall be established by the Managing Member. 

  
 49 









 (c) An additional Member shall be required to contribute to the Company his pro rata share
of the Company’s total capital, excluding capital in respect of GP-Related Investments and Capital Commitment Investments in which such Member does not acquire any interests, at such times and in such amounts as shall be determined by the
Managing Member in accordance with Sections 4.1 and 7.1. 
 (d) The admission of an additional Member will be evidenced by
(i) the execution of a counterpart copy of this Agreement by such additional Member, or (ii) the execution of an amendment to this Agreement by the Managing Member and the additional Member, as determined by the Managing Member, or
(iii) the execution by such additional Member of any other writing evidencing the intent of such person to become an additional Member and to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and such writing being acceptable to the Managing Member on
behalf of the Company. In addition, each additional Member shall sign a counterpart copy of the Trust Agreement or any other writing evidencing the intent of such person to become a party to the Trust Agreement that is acceptable to the Managing
Member on behalf of the Company. 
 6.2. Withdrawal of Members. (a) Any Member may Withdraw voluntarily from the
Company on the last day of any calendar month (or on such other date as shall be determined by the Managing Member in its sole discretion), on not less than 15 days’ prior written notice by such Member to the Managing Member (or on such shorter
notice period as may be mutually agreed upon between such Member and the Managing Member); provided, that a Member may not voluntarily Withdraw without the consent of the Managing Member if such Withdrawal would (i) cause the Company to
be in default under any of its contractual obligations or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of the Managing Member, have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business; provided further, that a Member may Withdraw from the
Company with respect to such Member’s GP-Related Member Interest without Withdrawing from the Company with respect to such Member’s Capital Commitment Member Interest, and a Member may Withdraw from the Company with respect to such
Member’s Capital Commitment Member Interest without Withdrawing from the Company with respect to such Member’s GP-Related Member Interest. 
 (b) Upon the Withdrawal of any Member, including by the occurrence of any withdrawal event under the LLC Act with respect to any Member, such Member shall thereupon cease to be a Member, except as
expressly provided herein. 
 (c) Upon the Total Disability of a Regular Member, such Member shall thereupon cease to be a
Regular Member with respect to such person’s GP-Related Member Interest; provided, that the Managing Member may elect to admit such Withdrawn Member to the Company as a Nonvoting Special Member with respect to such person’s
GP-Related Member Interest, with such GP-Related Member Interest as the Managing Member may determine. The determination of whether any Member has suffered a Total Disability shall be made by the Managing Member in its sole discretion after
consultation with a qualified medical doctor. In the absence of agreement between the Managing Member and such Member, each party shall nominate a qualified medical doctor and the two doctors shall select a third doctor, who shall make the
determination as to Total Disability. 

  
 50 









 (d) If the Managing Member determines that it shall be in the best interests of the Company
for any Member (including any Member who has given notice of voluntary Withdrawal pursuant to paragraph (a) above) to Withdraw from the Company (whether or not Cause exists) with respect to such person’s GP-Related Member Interest and/or
with respect to such person’s Capital Commitment Member Interest, such Member, upon written notice by the Managing Member to such Member, shall be required to Withdraw with respect to such person’s GP-Related Member Interest and/or with
respect to such person’s Capital Commitment Member Interest, as of a date specified in such notice, which date shall be on or after the date of such notice. If the Managing Member requires any Member to Withdraw for Cause with respect to such
person’s GP-Related Member Interest and/or with respect to such person’s Capital Commitment Member Interest, such notice shall state that it has been given for Cause and shall describe the particulars thereof in reasonable detail.

 (e) The withdrawal from the Company of any Member shall not, in and of itself, affect the obligations of the other Members to
continue the Company during the remainder of its term. 
 6.3. GP-Related Member Interests Not Transferable. No Member
may sell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any portion of such Member’s GP-Related Member Interest other than as permitted by written agreement between such Member and the Company; provided, that this
Section 6.3 shall not impair transfers by operation of law, transfers by will or by other testamentary instrument occurring by virtue of the death or dissolution of a Member, or transfers required by trust agreements; provided
further, that a Regular Member may transfer, for estate planning purposes, up to 25% of his GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentage to any estate planning trust, limited partnership, or limited liability company with respect to which a Regular
Member controls investments related to any interest in the Company held therein (an “Estate Planning Vehicle”). Each Estate Planning Vehicle will be a Nonvoting Special Member. Such Regular Member and the Nonvoting Special Member
shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations of both such Regular Member and such Nonvoting Special Member with respect to the Company (including the obligation to make additional GP-Related Capital Contributions), as the case may be.
The Managing Member may at its sole option exercisable at any time require any Estate Planning Vehicle to withdraw from the Company on the terms of this Article VI. Except as provided in the second proviso to the first sentence of this
Section 6.3, no assignee, legatee, distributee, heir or transferee (by conveyance, operation of law or otherwise) of the whole or any portion of any Member’s GP-Related Member Interest shall have any right to be a Member without the prior
written consent of the Managing Member (which consent may be withheld without giving any reason therefor). Notwithstanding the granting of a security interest in the entire Interest of any Member, such Member shall continue to be a Member of the
Company. 
 6.4. Consequences upon Withdrawal of a Member. (a) The Withdrawal of a Regular Member shall not dissolve
the Company if at the time of such Withdrawal there are one or more remaining Regular Members and any one or more of such remaining Regular Members continue the business of the Company (any and all such remaining Regular Members being hereby
authorized to continue the business of the Company without dissolution and hereby agreeing to do so). Notwithstanding Section 6.4(b), if upon the Withdrawal of a Regular Member there shall be no remaining Regular Member, the Company shall be
dissolved and shall be wound up unless, within 90 days after the occurrence of such Withdrawal, all remaining Special Members agree in writing to continue the business of the Company and to the appointment, effective as of the date of such
Withdrawal, of one or more Regular Members. 

  
 51 









 (b) The Company shall not be dissolved, in and of itself, by the Withdrawal of any Member,
but shall continue with the surviving or remaining Members as members thereof in accordance with and subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement. 
 6.5. Satisfaction and Discharge of a Withdrawn Member’s GP-Related Member Interests. (a) The terms of this Section 6.5 shall apply to the GP-Related Member Interest of a Withdrawn
Member, but, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6.5, shall not apply to the Capital Commitment Member Interest of a Withdrawn Member. For purposes of this Section 6.5, the term “Settlement Date” means
the date as of which a Withdrawn Member’s GP-Related Member Interest in the Company is settled as determined under paragraph (b) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Regular Member who Withdraws from the Company, and all or any
portion of whose GP-Related Member Interest is retained as a Special Member, shall be considered a Withdrawn Member for all purposes hereof. 
 (b) Except where a later date for the settlement of a Withdrawn Member’s GP-Related Member Interest in the Company may be agreed to by the Managing Member and a Withdrawn Member, a Withdrawn
Member’s Settlement Date shall be his Withdrawal Date; provided, that if a Withdrawn Member’s Withdrawal Date is not the last day of a month, then the Managing Member may elect for such Withdrawn Member’s Settlement Date to be
the last day of the month in which his Withdrawal Date occurs. During the interval, if any, between a Withdrawn Member’s Withdrawal Date and Settlement Date, such Withdrawn Member shall have the same rights and obligations with respect to
GP-Related Capital Contributions, interest on capital, allocations of GP-Related Net Income (Loss) and distributions as would have applied had such Withdrawn Member remained a Member of the Company during such period. 

(c) In the event of the Withdrawal of a Member, with respect to such Withdrawn Member’s GP-Related Member Interest, the Managing
Member shall promptly after such Withdrawn Member’s Settlement Date (i) determine and allocate to the Withdrawn Member’s GP-Related Capital Accounts such Withdrawn Member’s allocable share of the GP-Related Net Income (Loss) of
the Company for the period ending on such Settlement Date in accordance with Article V and (ii) credit the Withdrawn Member’s GP-Related Capital Accounts with interest in accordance with Section 5.2. In making the foregoing
calculations, the Managing Member shall be entitled to establish such reserves (including reserves for taxes, bad debts, unrealized losses, actual or threatened litigation or any other expenses, contingencies or obligations) as it deems appropriate.
Unless otherwise determined by the Managing Member in a particular case, a Withdrawn Member shall not be entitled to receive any GP-Related Unallocated Percentage in respect of the accounting period during which such Member Withdraws from the
Company (whether or not previously awarded or allocated) or any GP-Related Unallocated Percentage in respect of prior accounting periods that have not been paid or allocated (whether or not previously awarded) as of such Withdrawn Member’s
Withdrawal Date. 

  
 52 









 (d) From and after the Settlement Date of the Withdrawn Member, the Withdrawn Member’s
GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages shall, unless otherwise allocated by the Managing Member pursuant to Section 5.3(a), be deemed to be GP-Related Unallocated Percentages (except for GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages with respect to
GP-Related Investments as provided in paragraph (f) below). 
 (e) (i) Upon the Withdrawal from the Company of a Member
with respect to such Member’s GP-Related Member Interest, such Withdrawn Member thereafter shall not, except as expressly provided in this Section 6.5, have any rights of a Member (including voting rights) with respect to such
Member’s GP-Related Member Interest, and, except as expressly provided in this Section 6.5, such Withdrawn Member shall not have any interest in the Company’s GP-Related Net Income (Loss), or in distributions related to such
Member’s GP-Related Member Interest, GP-Related Investments or other assets related to such Member’s GP-Related Member Interest. If a Member Withdraws from the Company with respect to such Member’s GP-Related Member Interest for any
reason other than for Cause pursuant to Section 6.2, then the Withdrawn Member shall be entitled to receive, at the time or times specified in Section 6.5(i) below, in satisfaction and discharge in full of the Withdrawn Member’s
GP-Related Member Interest in the Company, (x) payment equal to the aggregate credit balance, if any, as of the Settlement Date of the Withdrawn Member’s GP-Related Capital Accounts, (excluding any GP-Related Capital Account or portion
thereof attributable to any GP-Related Investment) and (y) the Withdrawn Member’s percentage interest attributable to each GP-Related Investment in which the Withdrawn Member has an interest as of the Settlement Date as provided in
paragraph (f) below (which shall be settled in accordance with paragraph (f) below), subject to all the terms and conditions of paragraphs (a)-(r) of this Section 6.5. If the amount determined pursuant to clause (x) above is
an aggregate negative balance, the Withdrawn Member shall pay the amount thereof to the Company upon demand by the Managing Member on or after the date of the statement referred to in Section 6.5(i) below; provided, that if the Withdrawn
Member was solely a Special Member on his Withdrawal Date, such payment shall be required only to the extent of any amounts payable to such Withdrawn Member pursuant to this Section 6.5. Any aggregate negative balance in the GP-Related Capital
Accounts of a Withdrawn Member who was solely a Special Member, upon the settlement of such Withdrawn Member’s GP-Related Member Interest in the Company pursuant to this Section 6.5, shall be allocated among the other Members’
GP-Related Capital Accounts in accordance with their respective GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages in the categories of GP-Related Net Income (Loss) giving rise to such negative balance as determined by the Managing Member as of such Withdrawn
Member’s Settlement Date. In the settlement of any Withdrawn Member’s GP-Related Member Interest in the Company, no value shall be ascribed to goodwill, the Company name or the anticipation of any value the Company or any successor thereto
might have in the event the Company or any interest therein were to be sold in whole or in part. 
 (ii)
Notwithstanding clause (i) of this Section 6.5(e), in the case of a Member whose Withdrawal with respect to such Member’s GP-Related Member Interest resulted from such Member’s death or Incompetence, such Member’s estate or
legal representative, as the case may be, may elect, at the time described below, to receive a Nonvoting Special Member GP-Related Member Interest and retain such Member’s GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentage in all (but not less than all)
illiquid investments of the 

  
 53 









 
Company in lieu of a cash payment (or Note) in settlement of that portion the Withdrawn Member’s GP-Related Member Interest. The election referred to above shall be made within 60 days after
the Withdrawn Member’s Settlement Date, based on a statement of the settlement of such Withdrawn Member’s GP-Related Member Interest in the Company pursuant to this Section 6.5. 

(f) For purposes of clause (y) of paragraph (e)(i) above, a Withdrawn Member’s “percentage interest” means his
GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentage as of the Settlement Date in the relevant GP-Related Investment. The Withdrawn Member shall retain his percentage interest in such GP-Related Investment and shall retain his GP-Related Capital Account or portion
thereof attributable to such GP-Related Investment, in which case such Withdrawn Member (a “Retaining Withdrawn Member”) shall become and remain a Special Member for such purpose (and, if the Managing Member so designates, such
Special Member shall be a Nonvoting Special Member). The GP-Related Member Interest of a Retaining Withdrawn Member pursuant to this paragraph (f) shall be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to GP-Related Member Interests of any
kind hereunder and such other terms and conditions as are established by the Managing Member. At the option of the Managing Member in its sole discretion, the Managing Member and the Retaining Withdrawn Member may agree to have the Company acquire
such GP-Related Member Interest without the approval of the other Members; provided, that the Managing Member shall reflect in the books and records of the Company the terms of any acquisition pursuant to this sentence. 

(g) The Managing Member may elect, in lieu of payment in cash of any amount payable to a Withdrawn Member pursuant to paragraph
(e) above, to (i) have the Company issue to the Withdrawn Member a subordinated promissory note and/or to (ii) distribute in kind to the Withdrawn Member such Withdrawn Member’s pro rata share (as determined by the Managing
Member) of any securities or other investments of the Company in relation to such Member’s GP-Related Member Interest. If any securities or other investments are distributed in kind to a Withdrawn Member under this paragraph (g), the amount
described in clause (x) of paragraph (e)(i) shall be reduced by the value of such distribution as valued on the latest balance sheet of the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or, if not appearing on such balance
sheet, as reasonably determined by the Managing Member. 
 (h) [Intentionally omitted.] 

(i) Within 120 days after each Settlement Date, the Managing Member shall submit to the Withdrawn Member a statement of the settlement of
such Withdrawn Member’s GP-Related Member Interest in the Company pursuant to this Section 6.5 together with any cash payment, subordinated promissory note and in kind distributions to be made to such Member as shall be determined by the
Managing Member. The Managing Member shall submit to the Withdrawn Member supplemental statements with respect to additional amounts payable to or by the Withdrawn Member in respect of the settlement of his GP-Related Member Interest in the Company
(e.g., payments in respect of GP-Related Investments pursuant to paragraph (f) above or adjustments to reserves pursuant to paragraph (j) below) promptly after such amounts are determined by the Managing Member. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, such statements and the valuations on which they are based shall be accepted 

  
 54 









 
by the Withdrawn Member without examination of the accounting books and records of the Company or other inquiry. Any amounts payable by the Company to a Withdrawn Member pursuant to this
Section 6.5 shall be subordinate in right of payment and subject to the prior payment or provision for payment in full of claims of all present or future creditors of the Company or any successor thereto arising out of matters occurring prior
to the applicable date of payment or distribution; provided, that such Withdrawn Member shall otherwise rank pari passu in right of payment (x) with all persons who become Withdrawn Members and whose Withdrawal Date is
within one year before the Withdrawal Date of the Withdrawn Member in question and (y) with all persons who become Withdrawn Members and whose Withdrawal Date is within one year after the Withdrawal Date of the Withdrawn Member in question.

 (j) If the aggregate reserves established by the Managing Member as of the Settlement Date in making the foregoing
calculations should prove, in the determination of the Managing Member, to be excessive or inadequate, the Managing Member may elect, but shall not be obligated, to pay the Withdrawn Member or his estate such excess, or to charge the Withdrawn
Member or his estate such deficiency, as the case may be. 
 (k) Any amounts owed by the Withdrawn Member to the Company at any
time on or after the Settlement Date (e.g., outstanding Company loans or advances to such Withdrawn Member) shall be offset against any amounts payable or distributable by the Company to the Withdrawn Member at any time on or after the
Settlement Date or shall be paid by the Withdrawn Member to the Company, in each case as determined by the Managing Member. All cash amounts payable by a Withdrawn Member to the Company under this Section 6.5 shall bear interest from the due
date to the date of payment at a floating rate equal to the lesser of (x) the rate of interest publicly announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime rate or (y) the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable
law. The “due date” of amounts payable by a Withdrawn Member pursuant to Section 6.5(i) above shall be 120 days after a Withdrawn Member’s Settlement Date. The “due date” of amounts payable to or by a Withdrawn Member
in respect of GP-Related Investments for which the Withdrawn Member has retained a percentage interest in accordance with paragraph (f) above shall be 120 days after realization with respect to such GP-Related Investment. The “due
date” of any other amounts payable by a Withdrawn Member shall be 60 days after the date such amounts are determined to be payable. 
 (l) At the time of the settlement of any Withdrawn Member’s GP-Related Member Interest in the Company pursuant to this Section 6.5, the Managing Member may, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, impose any restrictions it deems appropriate on the assignment, pledge, encumbrance or other transfer by such Withdrawn Member of any interest in any GP-Related Investment retained by such Withdrawn Member, any securities or other
investments distributed in kind to such Withdrawn Member or such Withdrawn Member’s right to any payment from the Company. 

  
 55 









 (m) If a Member is required to Withdraw from the Company with respect to such Member’s
GP-Related Member Interest for Cause pursuant to Section 6.2(d), then his GP-Related Member Interest shall be settled in accordance with paragraphs (a)-(r) of this Section 6.5; provided, that the Managing Member may elect (but shall
not be required) to apply any or all the following terms and conditions to such settlement: 
 (i) In settling
the Withdrawn Member’s interest in any GP-Related Investment in which he has an interest as of his Settlement Date, the Managing Member may elect to (A) determine the GP-Related Unrealized Net Income (Loss) attributable to each such
GP-Related Investment as of the Settlement Date and allocate to the appropriate GP-Related Capital Account of the Withdrawn Member his allocable share of such GP-Related Unrealized Net Income (Loss) for purposes of calculating the aggregate balance
of such Withdrawn Member’s GP-Related Capital Account pursuant to clause (x) of paragraph (e)(i) above, (B) credit or debit, as applicable, the Withdrawn Member with the balance of his GP-Related Capital Account or portion thereof
attributable to each such GP-Related Investment as of his Settlement Date without giving effect to the GP-Related Unrealized Net Income (Loss) from such GP-Related Investment as of his Settlement Date, which shall be forfeited by the Withdrawn
Member or (C) apply the provisions of paragraph (f) above, provided, that the maximum amount of GP-Related Net Income (Loss) allocable to such Withdrawn Member with respect to any GP-Related Investment shall equal such Member’s
percentage interest of the GP-Related Unrealized Net Income, if any, attributable to such GP-Related Investment as of the Settlement Date (the balance of such GP-Related Net Income (Loss), if any, shall be allocated as determined by the Managing
Member). The Withdrawn Member shall not have any continuing interest in any GP-Related Investment to the extent an election is made pursuant to (A) or (B) above. 

(ii) Any amounts payable by the Company to the Withdrawn Member pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall be subordinate in
right of payment and subject to the prior payment in full of claims of all present or future creditors of the Company or any successor thereto arising out of matters occurring prior to or on or after the applicable date of payment or distribution.

 (n) The payments to a Withdrawn Member pursuant to this Section 6.5 may be conditioned on the compliance by such
Withdrawn Member with any lawful and reasonable (under the circumstances) restrictions against engaging or investing in a business competitive with that of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and Affiliates for a period not exceeding two years
determined by the Managing Member. Upon written notice to the Managing Member, any Withdrawn Member who is subject to noncompetition restrictions established by the Managing Member pursuant to this paragraph (n) may elect to forfeit the
principal amount payable in the final installment of his subordinated promissory note, together with interest to be accrued on such installment after the date of forfeiture, in lieu of being bound by such restrictions. 

(o) In addition to the foregoing, the Managing Member shall have the right to pay a Withdrawn Member (other than the Managing Member) a
discretionary additional payment in an amount and based upon such circumstances and conditions as it determines to be relevant. 

(p) The provisions of this Section 6.5 shall apply to any Investor Special Member relating to a Regular Member or Special Member and
to any transferee of any GP-Related Member Interest of such Member pursuant to Section 6.3 if such Member Withdraws from the Company. 

  
 56 









 (q) (i) The Company will assist a Withdrawn Member or his estate or guardian, as the case
may be, in the settlement of the Withdrawn Member’s GP-Related Member Interest in the Company. Third party costs incurred by the Company in providing this assistance will be borne by the Withdrawn Member or his estate. 

(ii) The Company may reasonably determine in good faith to retain outside professionals to provide the assistance to
Withdrawn Members or their estates or guardians, as referred to above. In such instances, the Company will obtain the prior approval of a Withdrawn Member or his estate or guardian, as the case may be, prior to engaging such professionals. If the
Withdrawn Member (or his estate or guardian) declines to incur such costs, the Company will provide such reasonable assistance as and when it can so as not to interfere with the Company’s day-to-day operating, financial, tax and other related
responsibilities to the Company and the Members. 
 (r) Each Member (other than the Managing Member) hereby irrevocably appoints
the Managing Member as such Member’s true and lawful agent, representative and attorney-in-fact, each acting alone, in such Member’s name, place and stead, to make, execute, sign and file, on behalf of such Member, any and all agreements,
instruments, consents, ratifications, documents and certificates which the Managing Member deems necessary or advisable in connection with any transaction or matter contemplated by or provided for in this Section 6.5, including, without
limitation, the performance of any obligation of such Member or the Company or the exercise of any right of such Member or the Company. Such power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall survive and continue in full force and effect
notwithstanding the Withdrawal from the Company of any Member for any reason and shall not be affected by the death, disability or incapacity of such Member. 
 6.6. Dissolution of the Company. The Managing Member may dissolve the Company prior to the expiration of its term at any time on not less than 60 days’ notice of the dissolution date given to
the other Members. 
 6.7. Certain Tax Matters. (a) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the
Company shall be allocated among the Members for Federal, State and local income tax purposes in the same manner as such items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated among the Members pursuant to this Agreement, except as may
otherwise be provided herein or by the Code or other applicable law. To the extent Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant to Subchapter K of the Code (including under Sections 704(b) and (c) of the Code) or other applicable law require
allocations for tax purposes that differ from the foregoing allocations, the Managing Member may determine the manner in which such tax allocations shall be made so as to comply more fully with such Treasury Regulations or other applicable law and,
at the same time, preserve the economic relationships among the Members as set forth in this Agreement. In the event there is a net decrease in partnership minimum gain or partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (determined in accordance with the
principles of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(d) and 1.704-2(i)) during any taxable year of the Company, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to
its respective share of such net decrease during such year, determined pursuant to Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). In
addition, this Agreement shall be considered to contain a “qualified income offset” as provided in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). 

  
 57 









 (b) The Managing Member shall cause to be prepared all Federal, State and local tax returns
of the Company for each year for which such returns are required to be filed and, after approval of such returns by the Managing Member, shall cause such returns to be timely filed. The Managing Member shall determine the appropriate treatment of
each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company and the accounting methods and conventions under the tax laws of the United States, the several States and other relevant jurisdictions as to the treatment of any such item or any
other method or procedure related to the preparation of such tax returns. The Managing Member may cause the Company to make or refrain from making any and all elections permitted by such tax laws. Each Member agrees that he shall not, unless he
provides prior notice of such action to the Company, (i) treat, on his individual income tax returns, any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit relating to his interest in the Company in a manner inconsistent with the treatment of
such item by the Company as reflected on the Form K-1 or other information statement furnished by the Company to such Member for use in preparing his income tax returns or (ii) file any claim for refund relating to any such item based on, or
which would result in, such inconsistent treatment. In respect of an income tax audit of any tax return of the Company, the filing of any amended return or claim for refund in connection with any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit
reflected on any tax return of the Company, or any administrative or judicial proceedings arising out of or in connection with any such audit, amended return, claim for refund or denial of such claim, (A) the Tax Matters Member (as defined
below) shall be authorized to act for, and his decision shall be final and binding upon, the Company and all Members except to the extent a Member shall properly elect to be excluded from such proceeding pursuant to the Code, (B) all expenses
incurred by the Tax Matters Member in connection therewith (including, without limitation, attorneys’, accountants’ and other experts’ fees and disbursements) shall be expenses of the Company and (C) no Member shall have the
right to (1) participate in the audit of any Company tax return, (2) file any amended return or claim for refund in connection with any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit reflected on any tax return of the Company (unless he
provides prior notice of such action to the Company as provided above), (3) participate in any administrative or judicial proceedings conducted by the Company or the Tax Matters Member arising out of or in connection with any such audit,
amended return, claim for refund or denial of such claim, or (4) appeal, challenge or otherwise protest any adverse findings in any such audit conducted by the Company or the Tax Matters Member or with respect to any such amended return or
claim for refund filed by the Company or the Tax Matters Member or in any such administrative or judicial proceedings conducted by the Company or the Tax Matters Member. The Company and each Member hereby designate any Member selected by the
Managing Member as the “tax matters partner” for purposes of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (the “Tax Matters Member”). To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Member agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company and all other Members from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, deficiencies and expenses resulting from any breach or violation by such Member of the provisions of this Section 6.7 and from all
actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, judgments, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incident to any such breach or violation. 

  
 58 









 (c) Each individual Member shall provide to the Company copies of each Federal, state and
local income tax return of such Member (including any amendment thereof) within 30 days after filing such return. 
 6.8.
Special Basis Adjustments. In connection with any assignment or transfer of a Company interest permitted by the terms of this Agreement, the Managing Member may cause the Company, on behalf of the Members and at the time and in the manner
provided in Code Regulations Section 1.754-1(b), to make an election to adjust the basis of the Company’s property in the manner provided in Sections 734(b) and 743(b) of the Code. 

ARTICLE VII 

CAPITAL COMMITMENT INTERESTS; CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; 
 ALLOCATIONS; DISTRIBUTIONS 
 7.1. Capital Commitment Interests, etc. (a)
This Article VII and Article VIII hereof set forth certain terms and conditions with respect to the Capital Commitment Member Interests and the Capital Commitment BTO Interest and matters related to the Capital Commitment Member Interests and the
Capital Commitment BTO Interest. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article VII or in Article VIII, the terms and provisions of this Article VII and Article VIII shall not apply to the GP-Related Member Interests or the GP-Related BTO
Interest. 
 (b) Each Member, severally, agrees to make contributions of capital to the Company (“Capital
Commitment-Related Capital Contributions”) as required to fund the Company’s capital contributions to BTO or Associates in respect of the Capital Commitment BTO Interest, if any, and the related Capital Commitment BTO Commitment, if
any (including, without limitation, funding all or a portion of the Blackstone Commitment). No Member shall be obligated to make Capital Commitment-Related Capital Contributions to the Company in an amount in excess of such Member’s Capital
Commitment-Related Commitment. The Commitment Agreements and SMD Agreements, if any, of the Members may include provisions with respect to the foregoing matters. It is understood that a Member will not necessarily participate in each Capital
Commitment Investment (which may include additional amounts invested in an existing Capital Commitment Investment) nor will a Member necessarily have the same Capital Commitment Profit Sharing Percentage with respect to (i) the Company’s
portion of the Blackstone Commitment or (ii) the making of each Capital Commitment Investment in which such Member participates; provided, that this in no way limits the terms of any Commitment Agreement or SMD Agreement. In addition,
nothing contained herein shall be construed to give any Member the right to obtain financing with respect to the purchase of any Capital Commitment Interest, and nothing contained herein shall limit or dictate the terms upon which the Company and
its Affiliates may provide such financing. The acquisition of a Capital Commitment Interest by a Member shall be evidenced by receipt by the Company of funds equal to such Member’s Capital Commitment- Related Commitment then due with respect to
such Capital Commitment Interest and such appropriate documentation as the Managing Member may submit to the Members from time to time. 

  
 59 









 (c) The Company or one of its Affiliates (in such capacity, the “Advancing
Party”) may in its sole discretion advance to any Member (including any additional Member admitted to the Company pursuant to Section 6.1 but excluding any Members that are also executive officers of The Blackstone Group L.P. or any
Affiliate thereof) all or any portion of the Capital Commitment Capital Contributions due to the Company from such Member with respect to any Capital Commitment Investment (“Firm Advances”). Each such Member shall pay interest to
the Advancing Party on each Firm Advance from the date of such Firm Advance until the repayment thereof by such Member. Each Firm Advance shall be repayable in full, including accrued interest to the date of such repayment, upon prior written notice
by the Advancing Party. The making and repayment of each Firm Advance shall be recorded in the books and records of the Company, and such recording shall be conclusive evidence of each such Firm Advance, binding on the Member and the Advancing Party
absent manifest error. Except as provided below, the interest rate applicable to a Firm Advance shall equal the cost of funds of the Advancing Party at the time of the making of such Firm Advance. The Advancing Party shall inform any Member of such
rate upon such Member’s request; provided, that such interest rate shall not exceed the maximum interest rate allowable by applicable law; provided further, that amounts that are otherwise payable to such Member pursuant to
Section 7.4(a) shall be used to repay such Firm Advance (including interest thereon). The Advancing Party may, in its sole discretion, change the terms of Firm Advances (including the terms contained herein) and/or discontinue the making of
Firm Advances; provided, that (i) the Advancing Party shall notify the relevant Members of any material changes to such terms and (ii) the interest rate applicable to such Firm Advances and overdue amounts thereon shall not exceed
the maximum interest rate allowable by applicable law. 
 7.2. Capital Commitment Capital Accounts. (a) There shall be
established for each Member on the books of the Company as of the date of formation of the Company, or such later date on which such Member is admitted to the Company, and on each such other date as such Member first acquires a Capital Commitment
Interest in a particular Capital Commitment Investment, a Capital Commitment Capital Account for each Capital Commitment Investment in which such Member acquires a Capital Commitment Interest on such date. Each Capital Commitment Capital
Contribution of a Member shall be credited to the appropriate Capital Commitment Capital Account of such Member on the date such Capital Commitment Capital Contribution is paid to the Company. Capital Commitment Capital Accounts shall be adjusted to
reflect any transfer of a Member’s interest in the Company related to his Capital Commitment Member Interest as provided in this Agreement. 
 (b) A Member shall not have any obligation to the Company or to any other Member to restore any negative balance in the Capital Commitment Capital Account of such Member. Until distribution of any such
Member’s interest in the Company with respect to a Capital Commitment Interest as a result of the disposition by the Company of the related Capital Commitment Investment and in whole upon the dissolution of the Company, neither such
Member’s Capital Commitment Capital Accounts nor any part thereof shall be subject to withdrawal or redemption except with the consent of the Managing Member. 

  
 60 









 7.3. Allocations. (a) Capital Commitment Net Income (Loss) of the Company for each
Capital Commitment Investment shall be allocated to the related Capital Commitment Capital Accounts of all the Members (including the Managing Member) participating in such Capital Commitment Investment in proportion to their respective Capital
Commitment Profit Sharing Percentages for such Capital Commitment Investment. Capital Commitment Net Income (Loss) on any Unallocated Capital Commitment Interest shall be allocated to each Member in the proportion which such Member’s aggregate
Capital Commitment Capital Accounts bear to the aggregate Capital Commitment Capital Accounts of all Members; provided, that if any Member makes the election provided for in Section 7.6, Capital Commitment Net Income (Loss) of the Company for
each Capital Commitment Investment shall be allocated to the related Capital Commitment Capital Accounts of all the Members participating in such Capital Commitment Investment who do not make such election in proportion to their respective Capital
Commitment Profit Sharing Percentages for such Capital Commitment Investment. 
 (b) Any special costs relating to distributions
pursuant to Section 7.6 or 7.7 shall be specially allocated to the electing Member. 
 7.4. Distributions. (a) Each
Member’s allocable portion of Capital Commitment Net Income received from his Capital Commitment Investments, distributions to such Member that constitute returns of capital, and other Capital Commitment Net Income of the Company (including,
without limitation, Capital Commitment Net Income attributable to Unallocated Capital Commitment Interests) during a fiscal year of the Company will be credited to payment of the Investor Notes to the extent required below as of the last day of such
fiscal year (or on such earlier date as related distributions are made in the sole discretion of the Managing Member) with any cash amount distributable to such Member pursuant to clauses (ii) and (vii) below to be distributed within 45
days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (or in each case on such earlier date as selected by the Managing Member in its sole discretion) as follows (subject to Section 7.4(c) below): 

(i) First, to the payment of interest then due on all Investor Notes (relating to Capital Commitment Investments or
otherwise) of such Member (to the extent Capital Commitment Net Income and distributions or payments from Other Sources do not equal or exceed all interest payments due, the selection of those of such Member’s Investor Notes upon which interest
is to be paid and the division of payments among such Investor Notes to be determined by the Lender or Guarantor); 
 (ii) Second, to distribution to the Member of an amount equal to the Federal, State and local income taxes on income of the Company allocated to such Member for such year in respect of such Member’s
Capital Commitment Member Interest (the aggregate amount of any such distribution shall be determined by the Managing Member, subject to the limitation that the minimum aggregate amount of such distribution be the tax that would be payable if the
taxable income of the Company related to all Members’ Capital Commitment Member Interests were all allocated to an individual subject to the then-prevailing maximum Federal, New York State and New York City tax rates (taking into account the
extent to which such taxable income 

  
 61 









 
allocated by the Company was composed of long-term capital gains and the deductibility of State and local income taxes for Federal income tax purposes)); provided, that additional amounts
shall be paid to the Member pursuant to this clause (ii) to the extent that such amount reduces the amount otherwise distributable to the Member pursuant to a comparable provision in any other BCE Agreement and there are not sufficient amounts
to fully satisfy such provision from the relevant partnership or other entity; provided further, that amounts paid pursuant to the provisions in such other BCE Agreements comparable to the immediately preceding proviso shall reduce
those amounts otherwise distributable to the Member pursuant to provisions in such other BCE Agreements that are comparable to this clause (ii); 
 (iii) Third, to the payment in full of the principal amount of the Investor Note financing (A) any Capital Commitment Investment disposed of during or prior to such fiscal year or (B) any BCE
Investments (other than Capital Commitment Investments) disposed of during or prior to such fiscal year, to the extent not repaid from Other Sources; 
 (iv) Fourth, to the return to such Member of (A) all Capital Commitment-Related Capital Contributions made in respect of the Capital Commitment Interest to which any Capital Commitment Investment
disposed of during or prior to such fiscal year relates or (B) all capital contributions made to any Blackstone Collateral Entity (other than the Company) in respect of interests therein relating to BCE Investments (other than Capital
Commitment Investments) disposed of during or prior to such fiscal year (including all principal paid on the related Investor Notes), to the extent not repaid from amounts of Other Sources (other than amounts of Capital Commitment Member Carried
Interest); 
 (v) Fifth, to the payment of principal (including any previously deferred amounts) then owing under
all other Investor Notes of such Member (including those unrelated to the Company), the selection of those of such Member’s Investor Notes to be repaid and the division of payments among such Investor Notes to be determined by the Lender or
Guarantor; 
 (vi) Sixth, up to 50% of any Capital Commitment Net Income remaining after application pursuant to
clauses (i) through (v) above shall be applied pro rata to prepayment of principal of all remaining Investor Notes of such Member (including those unrelated to the Company), the selection of those of such Member’s Investor Notes to be
repaid, the division of payments among such Investor Notes and the percentage of remaining Capital Commitment Net Income to be applied thereto to be determined by the Lender or Guarantor; and 

(vii) Seventh, to such Member to the extent of any amount of Capital Commitment Net Income remaining after making the
distributions in clauses (i) through (vi) above, and such amount is not otherwise required to be applied to Investor Notes pursuant to the terms thereof. 

  
 62 









 To the extent there is a partial disposition of a Capital Commitment
Investment or any other BCE Investment, as applicable, the payments in clauses (iii) and (iv) above shall be based on that portion of the Capital Commitment Investment or other BCE Investment, as applicable, disposed of, and the principal
amount and related interest payments of such Investor Note shall be adjusted to reflect such partial payment so that there are equal payments over the remaining term of the related Investor Note. For a Member who is no longer an employee or officer
of Holdings or its Affiliates, distributions shall be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) above, and then, unless the Company or its Affiliate has exercised its rights pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof, any remaining income or
other distribution in respect of such Member’s Capital Commitment Member Interest shall be applied to the prepayment of the outstanding Investor Notes of such Member, until all such Member’s Investor Notes have been repaid in full, with
any such income or other distribution remaining thereafter distributed to such Member. 
 Distributions of
Capital Commitment Net Income may be made at any other time at the discretion of the Managing Member. At the Managing Member’s discretion, any amounts distributed to a Member in respect of such Member’s Capital Commitment Member Interest
will be net of any interest and principal payable on his Investor Notes for the full period in respect of which the distribution is made. 
 (b) [Intentionally omitted.] 
 (c) To the extent that the foregoing Company
distributions and distributions and payments from Other Sources are insufficient to satisfy any principal and/or interest due on Investor Notes, and to the extent that the Managing Member in its sole discretion elects to apply this paragraph
(c) to any individual payments due, such unpaid interest will be added to the remaining principal amount of such Investor Notes and shall be payable on the next scheduled principal payment date (along with any deferred principal and any
principal and interest due on such date); provided, that such deferral shall not apply to a Member that is no longer an employee or officer of Holdings or an Affiliate thereof. All unpaid interest on such Investor Notes shall accrue interest
at the interest rate then in effect for such Investor Notes. 
 (d) [Intentionally omitted.] 

(e) The Capital Commitment Capital Account of each Member shall be reduced by the amount of any distribution to such Member pursuant to
paragraph (a) of this Section 7.4. 
 (f) At any time that a sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of a
portion of a Capital Commitment Investment is being considered by the Company or BTO (a “Capital Commitment Disposable Investment”), at the election of the Managing Member each Member’s Capital Commitment Interest with respect
to such Capital Commitment Investment shall be vertically divided into two separate Capital Commitment Interests, a Capital Commitment Interest attributable to the Capital Commitment Disposable Investment (a Member’s “Capital Commitment
Class B Interest”), and a Capital Commitment Interest attributable to such Capital Commitment Investment excluding the Capital Commitment Disposable Investment (a Member’s “Capital Commitment Class A Interest”).
Distributions 

  
 63 









 
(including those resulting from a direct or indirect sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition by the Company) relating to a Capital Commitment Disposable Investment shall be made only to
holders of Capital Commitment Class B Interests with respect to such Capital Commitment Investment in accordance with their respective Capital Commitment Profit Sharing Percentages relating to such Capital Commitment Class B Interests, and
distributions (including those resulting from the direct or indirect sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition by the Company) relating to a Capital Commitment Investment excluding such Capital Commitment Disposable Investment shall be made only
to holders of Capital Commitment Class A Interests with respect to such Capital Commitment Investment in accordance with their respective Capital Commitment Profit Sharing Percentages relating to such Capital Commitment Class A Interests.

 (g) (i) If (x) the Company is obligated under the Giveback Provisions to contribute a Giveback Amount to BTO in respect
of any Capital Commitment BTO Interest that may be held by the Company or (y) Associates is obligated under the Giveback Provisions to contribute to BTO a Giveback Amount with respect to any Capital Commitment BTO Interest that may be held by
Associates and the Company is obligated to contribute any such amount to Associates in respect of the Company’s Capital Commitment Associates Member Interest (the amount of any such obligation of the Company with respect to such a Giveback
Amount in the case of either (x) or (y) being herein called a “Capital Commitment Giveback Amount”), the Company shall call for such amounts as are necessary to satisfy such obligation of the Company as determined by the
Managing Member, in which case, each Member and Withdrawn Member shall contribute to the Company, in cash, when and as called by the Company, such an amount of prior distributions by the Company with respect to the Capital Commitment BTO Interest
(the “Capital Commitment Recontribution Amount”) which equals such Member’s pro rata share of prior distributions in connection with (a) the Capital Commitment BTO Investment giving rise to the Capital Commitment Giveback
Amount, (b) if the amounts contributed pursuant to clause (a) above are insufficient to satisfy such Capital Commitment Giveback Amount, Capital Commitment BTO Investments other than the one giving rise to such obligation, and (c) if
the Capital Commitment Giveback Amount pursuant to an applicable BTO Agreement is unrelated to a specific Capital Commitment BTO Investment, all Capital Commitment BTO Investments. Each Member shall promptly contribute to the Company upon notice
thereof such Member’s Capital Commitment Recontribution Amount. Prior to such time, the Company may, at the Managing Member’s discretion (but shall be under no obligation to), provide notice that in the Managing Member’s judgment, the
potential obligations in respect of the Capital Commitment Giveback Amount will probably materialize (and an estimate of the aggregate amount of such obligations). 

(ii) (A) In the event any Member (a “Capital Commitment Defaulting Party”) fails to recontribute all or
any portion of such Capital Commitment Defaulting Party’s Capital Commitment Recontribution Amount for any reason, the Company shall require all other Members and Withdrawn Members to contribute, on a pro rata basis (based on each of their
respective Capital Commitment Profit Sharing Percentages), such amounts as are necessary to fulfill the Capital Commitment Defaulting Party’s obligation to pay such Capital Commitment Defaulting Party’s Capital Commitment Recontribution
Amount (a “Capital Commitment Deficiency Contribution”) if the Managing Member determines in its good faith judgment that the Company will be unable to collect such amount in cash


  
 64 









 
from such Capital Commitment Defaulting Party for payment of the Capital Commitment Giveback Amount at least 20 Business Days prior to the latest date that the Company is permitted to pay the
Capital Commitment Giveback Amount; provided, that no Member shall as a result of such Capital Commitment Deficiency Contribution be required to contribute an amount in excess of 150% of the amount of the Capital Commitment Recontribution
Amount initially requested from such Member in respect of such default. Thereafter, the Managing Member shall determine in its good faith judgment that the Company should either (1) not attempt to collect such amount in light of the costs
associated therewith, the likelihood of recovery and any other factors considered relevant in the good faith judgment of the Managing Member or (2) pursue any and all remedies (at law or equity) available to the Company against the Capital
Commitment Defaulting Party, the cost of which shall be a Company expense to the extent not ultimately reimbursed by the Capital Commitment Defaulting Party. It is agreed that the Company shall have the right (effective upon such Capital Commitment
Defaulting Party becoming a Capital Commitment Defaulting Party) to set-off as appropriate and apply against such Capital Commitment Defaulting Party’s Capital Commitment Recontribution Amount any amounts otherwise payable to the Capital
Commitment Defaulting Party by the Company or any Affiliate thereof. Each Member hereby grants to the Company a security interest, effective upon such Member becoming a Capital Commitment Defaulting Party, in all accounts receivable and other rights
to receive payment from the Company or any Affiliate of the Company and agrees that, upon the effectiveness of such security interest, the Company may sell, collect or otherwise realize upon such collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing, each
Member hereby appoints the Company as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority, in the name of such Member or in the name of the Company, to take any actions which may be necessary to accomplish the intent of
the immediately preceding sentence. The Company shall be entitled to collect interest on the Capital Commitment Recontribution Amount of a Capital Commitment Defaulting Party from the date such Capital Commitment Recontribution Amount was required
to be contributed to the Company at a rate equal to the Default Interest Rate. 
 (B) Any Member’s failure
to make a Capital Commitment Deficiency Contribution shall cause such Member to be a Capital Commitment Defaulting Party with respect to such amount. 
 (iii) A Member’s obligation to make contributions to the Company under this Section 7.4(g) shall survive the termination of the Company. 

7.5. Valuations. Capital Commitment Investments shall be valued annually as of the end of each year (and at such other times as
deemed appropriate by the Managing Member) in accordance with the principles utilized by Associates (or any other Affiliate of the Company that is a general partner of BTO) in valuing investments of BTO or, in the case of investments not held by
BTO, in the good faith judgment of the Managing Member, subject in each case to the second proviso of the immediately succeeding sentence. The value of any Capital Commitment Interest as of any date (the “Capital Commitment Value”)
shall be based on the value of the underlying Capital Commitment Investment as set forth above; provided, that the Capital Commitment Value may be determined as of an earlier date if determined appropriate by


  
 65 









 
the Managing Member in good faith; provided further, that such value may be adjusted by the Managing Member to take into account factors relating solely to the value of a Capital
Commitment Interest (as compared to the value of the underlying Capital Commitment Investment), such as restrictions on transferability, the lack of a market for such Capital Commitment Interest and lack of control of the underlying Capital
Commitment Investment. To the full extent permitted by applicable law such valuations shall be final and binding on all Members; provided further, that the immediately preceding proviso shall not apply to any Capital Commitment
Interests held by a person who is or was at any time a direct partner of a Managing Member of the Company. 
 7.6.
Disposition Election. (a) At any time prior to the date of the Company’s execution of a definitive agreement to dispose of a Capital Commitment Investment, the Managing Member may in its sole discretion permit a Member to retain all or
any portion of its pro rata share of such Capital Commitment Investment (as measured by such Member’s Capital Commitment Profit Sharing Percentage in such Capital Commitment Investment). If the Managing Member so permits, such Member shall
instruct the Managing Member in writing prior to such date (i) not to dispose of all or any portion of such Member’s pro rata share of such Capital Commitment Investment (the “Retained Portion”) and (ii) either to
(A) distribute such Retained Portion to such Member on the closing date of such disposition or (B) retain such Retained Portion in the Company on behalf of such Member until such time as such Member shall instruct the Managing Member upon
5 days notice to distribute such Retained Portion to such Member. Such Member’s Capital Commitment Capital Account shall not be adjusted in any way to reflect the retention in the Company of such Retained Portion or the Company’s
disposition of other Members’ pro rata shares of such Capital Commitment Investment; provided, that such Member’s Capital Commitment Capital Account shall be adjusted upon distribution of such Retained Portion to such Member or upon
distribution of proceeds with respect to a subsequent disposition thereof by the Company. 
 (b) No distribution of such
Retained Portion shall occur unless any Investor Notes relating thereto shall have been paid in full prior to or simultaneously with such distribution. 
 7.7. Capital Commitment Special Distribution Election. (a) From time to time during the term of this Agreement, the Managing Member may in its sole discretion, upon receipt of a written request
from a Member, distribute to such Member any portion of its pro rata share of a Capital Commitment Investment (as measured by such Member’s Capital Commitment Profit Sharing Percentage in such Capital Commitment Investment) (a “Capital
Commitment Special Distribution”). Such Member’s Capital Commitment Capital Account shall be adjusted upon distribution of such Capital Commitment Special Distribution. 

(b) No Capital Commitment Special Distributions shall occur unless any Investor Notes relating thereto shall have been paid in full prior
to or simultaneously with such Capital Commitment Special Distribution.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 WITHDRAWAL, ADMISSION OF NEW MEMBERS 
 8.1. Member Withdrawal; Repurchase of
Capital Commitment Interests. (a) Capital Commitment Interests (or a portion thereof) that were financed by Investor Notes will be treated as not subject to repurchase for purposes hereof based upon the proportion of (a) the sum of Capital
Commitment Capital Contributions not financed by an Investor Note with respect to each Capital Commitment Interest and principal payments on the related Investor Note to (b) the sum of the Capital Commitment Capital Contributions not financed
by an Investor Note with respect to such Capital Commitment Interest, the original principal amount of such Investor Note and all deferred amounts of interest which from time to time comprise part of the principal amount of the Investor Note. A
Member may prepay a portion of any outstanding principal on the Investor Notes; provided, that in the event that a Member prepays all or any portion of the principal amount of the Investor Notes within nine months prior to the date on which
such Member is no longer an employee or officer of Holdings or an Affiliate thereof, the Company (or its designee) shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to purchase the Capital Commitment Interest that became Non-Contingent as a result of
such prepayment; provided further, that the purchase price for such Capital Commitment Interest shall be determined in accordance with the determination of the purchase price of a Member’s Contingent Capital Commitment Interests
as set forth in paragraph (b) below. Prepayments made by a Member shall apply pro rata against all of such Member’s Investor Notes; provided, that such Member may request that such prepayments be applied only to Investor Notes
related to BCE Investments that are related to one or more Blackstone Collateral Entities specified by such Member. Except as expressly provided herein, Capital Commitment Interests that were not financed in any respect with Investor Notes shall be
treated as Non-Contingent Capital Commitment Interests. 
 (b) Upon a Member ceasing to be an officer or employee of the Company
or any of its Affiliates, other than as a result of such Member dying or suffering a Total Disability, such Member (the “Withdrawn Member”) and the Company or any other person designated by the Managing Member shall each have the
right (exercisable by the Withdrawn Member within 30 days and by the Company or its designee(s) within 45 days of such Member’s ceasing to be such an officer or employee) or any time thereafter, upon 30 days notice, but not the obligation, to
require the Company, subject to the LLC Act, to buy (in the case of exercise of such right by such Withdrawn Member) or the Withdrawn Member to sell (in the case of exercise of such right by the Company or its designee(s)) all (but not less than
all) such Withdrawn Member’s Contingent Capital Commitment Interests. The purchase price for each such Contingent Capital Commitment Interest will be an amount equal to (i) the outstanding principal amount of the related Investor Note plus
accrued interest thereon to the date of purchase (such portion of the purchase price to be made in cash) and (ii) an additional amount (the “Adjustment Amount”) equal to (x) all interest paid by the Member on the portion
of the principal amount of the Investor Note relating to the portion of the related Capital Commitment Interest remaining Contingent plus (y) all Capital Commitment Net Losses allocated to the Withdrawn Member on the Contingent portion of such
Capital Commitment Interest minus (z) all Capital Commitment Net Income allocated to the Withdrawn Member on the Contingent portion of 

  
 67 









 
such Capital Commitment Interest; provided, that, if the Withdrawn Member was terminated from employment or his position as an officer for Cause, the amounts referred to in clause
(x) or (y) of the Adjustment Amount, in the Managing Member’s sole discretion, may be deemed to equal zero. The Adjustment Amount shall, if positive, be payable by the holders of the purchased Capital Commitment Interests to the
Withdrawn Member from the next Capital Commitment Net Income received by such holders on the Contingent portion of such Withdrawn Member’s Capital Commitment Interests at the time such Capital Commitment Net Income is received. If the
Adjustment Amount resulting from an exchange is negative, it shall be payable to the holders of the purchased Capital Commitment Interest by the Withdrawn Member at the time such Capital Commitment Net Income is received by the Withdrawn Member from
the next Capital Commitment Net Income on the Non-Contingent portion of the Withdrawn Member’s Capital Commitment Interests or, if the Company or its designee(s) elect to purchase such Withdrawn Member’s Non-Contingent Capital Commitment
Interests, in cash by the Withdrawn Member at the time of such purchase; provided, that the Company and its Affiliates may offset any amounts otherwise owing to a Withdrawn Member against any Adjustment Amount owed by such Withdrawn Member.
Until so paid, such remaining Adjustment Amount will not itself bear interest. At the time of such purchase of the Withdrawn Member’s Contingent Capital Commitment Interests, his related Investor Note shall be payable in full. If neither the
Withdrawn Member nor the Company nor its designee(s) exercise the right to require repurchase of such Contingent Capital Commitment Interests, then the Withdrawn Member shall retain the Contingent portion of his Capital Commitment Interests and the
Investor Notes shall remain outstanding, shall become fully recourse to the Withdrawn Member in his individual capacity, shall be payable in accordance with their remaining original maturity schedules and shall be prepayable at any time by the
Withdrawn Member at his option, and the Company shall apply such prepayments against outstanding Investor Notes on a pro rata basis. To the extent that another Member purchases a portion of a Capital Commitment Interest of a Withdrawn Member, the
purchasing Member’s Capital Commitment Capital Account and Capital Commitment Profit Sharing Percentage for such Capital Commitment Investment shall be correspondingly increased. 

(c) Upon the occurrence of a Final Event with respect to any Member, such Member shall thereupon cease to be a Member with respect to
such Member’s Capital Commitment Member Interest. If such a Final Event shall occur, no Successor in Interest to any such Member shall for any purpose hereof become or be deemed to become a Member. The sole right, as against the Company and the
remaining Members, acquired hereunder by, or resulting hereunder to, a Successor in Interest to any Member shall be to receive any distributions and allocations with respect to such Member’s Capital Commitment Member Interest pursuant to
Article VII and this Article VIII, subject to the right of the Company to purchase the Capital Commitment Interests of such former Member pursuant to Section 8.1(b) or Section 8.1(d)) to the extent, at the time, in the manner and in the
amount otherwise payable to such Member had such a Final Event not occurred, and no other right shall be acquired hereunder by, or shall result hereunder to, a Successor in Interest to such Member, whether by operation of law or otherwise. Until
distribution of any such Member’s interest in the Company upon the dissolution of the Company as provided in Section 9.2, neither his Capital Commitment Capital Accounts nor any part thereof shall be subject to withdrawal or redemption
without the consent of the Managing Member. The Company shall be entitled to treat any Successor in Interest to such Member as the only person entitled to receive distributions and allocations hereunder with respect to such Member’s Capital
Commitment Member Interest. 

  
 68 









 (d) If a Member dies or suffers a Total Disability, all Contingent Capital Commitment
Interests of such Member shall be purchased by the Company or its designee (within 30 days of the first date on which the Company knows or has reason to know of such Member’s death or Total Disability) as provided in Section 8.1(b) (except
that any Adjustment Amount shall be payable by or to the estate or personal representative in cash) and any Investor Notes financing such Contingent Capital Commitment Interests shall thereupon be prepaid as provided in Section 8.1(b). In
addition, in the case of the death or Total Disability of a Member, if the estate or personal representative of such Member so requests in writing within 180 days of the Member’s death or ceasing to be an employee or member (directly or
indirectly) of the Company or any of its Affiliates by reason of Total Disability (such requests shall not exceed one per calendar year), the Company or its designee may but is not obligated to purchase for cash all (but not less than all)
Non-Contingent Capital Commitment Interests of such Member as of the last day of the Company’s then current fiscal year at a price equal to the Capital Commitment Value thereof. Each Member shall be required to include appropriate provisions in
his will to reflect such provisions of this Agreement. In addition, the Company may, in the sole discretion of the Managing Member, upon notice to the estate or personal representative of such Member within 30 days of the first date on which the
Company knows or has reason to know of such Member’s death or Total Disability, determine either (i) to distribute Securities or other property to the estate or personal representative in exchange for such Non-Contingent Capital Commitment
Interests as provided in Section 8.1(e) or (ii) to require sale of such Non-Contingent Capital Commitment Interests to the Company or its designee as of the last day of any fiscal year of the Company (or earlier period, as determined by
the Managing Member in its sole discretion) for an amount in cash equal to the Capital Commitment Value thereof. 
 (e) In lieu
of retaining a Withdrawn Member as a Member with respect to any Non-Contingent Capital Commitment Interests, the Managing Member may, in its sole discretion, by notice to such Withdrawn Member within 45 days of his ceasing to be an employee or
officer of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or at any time thereafter, upon 30 days written notice, determine (1) to distribute to such Withdrawn Member the pro rata portion of the Securities or other property underlying such Withdrawn
Member’s Non-Contingent Capital Commitment Interests, subject to any restrictions on distributions associated with the Securities or other property, in satisfaction of his Non-Contingent Capital Commitment Interests in the Company or
(2) to cause, as of the last day of any fiscal year of the Company (or earlier period, as determined by the Managing Member in its sole discretion), the Company or another person designated by the Managing Member (who may be itself another
Member or another Affiliate of the Company) to purchase all (but not less than all) of such Withdrawn Member’s Non-Contingent Capital Commitment Interests for a price equal to the Capital Commitment Value thereof. The Managing Member shall
condition any distribution or purchase of voting Securities pursuant to paragraph (d) above or this paragraph (e) upon the Withdrawn Member’s execution and delivery to the Company of an appropriate irrevocable proxy, in favor of the
Company or its nominee, relating to such Securities. 

  
 69 









 (f) The Company may subsequently transfer any Unallocated Capital Commitment Interest or
portion thereof which is purchased by it as described above to any other person approved by the Managing Member. In connection with such purchase or transfer or the purchase of a Capital Commitment Interest or portion thereof by the Company’s
designee(s), Holdings may loan all or a portion of the purchase price of the transferred or purchased Capital Commitment Interest to the Company, the transferee or the designee-purchaser(s), as applicable (excluding any of the foregoing who is an
executive officer of The Blackstone Group L.P. or any Affiliate thereof). To the extent that a Withdrawn Member’s Capital Commitment Interests (or portions thereof) are repurchased by the Company and not transferred to or purchased by another
person, all or any portion of such repurchased Capital Commitment Interests may, in the sole discretion of the Managing Member, (i) be allocated to each Member already participating in the Capital Commitment Investment to which the repurchased
Capital Commitment Interest relates, (ii) be allocated to each Member in the Company, whether or not already participating in such Capital Commitment Investment, and/or (iii) continue to be held by the Company itself as an unallocated
Capital Commitment Investment (such Capital Commitment Interests being herein called “Unallocated Capital Commitment Interests”). To the extent that a Capital Commitment Interest is allocated to Members as provided in clause
(i) and/or (ii) above, any indebtedness incurred by the Company to finance such repurchase shall also be allocated to such Members. All such Capital Commitment Interests allocated to Members shall be deemed to be Contingent and shall
become Non-Contingent as and to the extent that the principal amount of such related indebtedness is repaid. The Members receiving such allocations shall be responsible for such related indebtedness only on a nonrecourse basis to the extent
appropriate as provided in this Agreement, except as such Members and the Managing Member shall otherwise agree. If the indebtedness financing such repurchased interests is not so limited, the Company may require an assumption by the Members of such
indebtedness on the terms thereof as a precondition to allocation of the related Capital Commitment Interests to such Members; provided, that a Member shall not, except as set forth in his Investor Note, be obligated to accept any personally
recourse obligation unless his prior consent is obtained. So long as the Company itself retains the Unallocated Capital Commitment Interests pursuant to clause (iii) above, such Unallocated Capital Commitment Interests shall belong to the
Company and any indebtedness financing the Unallocated Capital Commitment Interests shall be an obligation of the Company to which all income of the Company is subject except as otherwise agreed by the lender of such indebtedness. Any Capital
Commitment Net Income (Loss) on an Unallocated Capital Commitment Interest shall be allocated to each Member in the proportion his aggregate Capital Commitment Capital Accounts bear to the aggregate Capital Commitment Capital Accounts of all
Members; debt service on such related financing will be an expense of the Company allocable to all Members in such proportions. 

(g) If a Member is required to Withdraw from the Company with respect to such Member’s Capital Commitment Member Interest for Cause,
then his Capital Commitment Interest shall be settled in accordance with paragraphs (a)-(f) and (j) of this Section 8.1; provided, that if such Member was not at any time a direct partner of a Managing Member of the Company, the
Managing Member may elect (but shall not be required) to apply any or all the following terms and conditions to such settlement: 
 (i) purchase for cash all of such Withdrawn Member’s Non-Contingent Capital Commitment Interests. The purchase price for each such Non-Contingent Capital Commitment Interest shall be the lower of
(A) the original cost of such Non-Contingent Capital Commitment Interest or (B) an amount equal to the Capital Commitment Value thereof; 

  
 70 









 (ii) allow the Withdrawn Member to retain such Non- Contingent Capital
Commitment Interests; provided, that the maximum amount of Capital Commitment Net Income allocable to such Withdrawn Member with respect to any Capital Commitment Investment shall equal the amount of Capital Commitment Net Income that would
have been allocated to such Withdrawn Member if such Capital Commitment Investment had been sold as of the Settlement Date at the then prevailing Capital Commitment Value thereof; or 

(iii) in lieu of cash, purchase such Non-Contingent Capital Commitment Interests by providing the Withdrawn Member with a
promissory note in the amount determined in (i) above. Such promissory note shall have a maximum term of ten (10) years with interest at the Federal Funds Rate. 
 (h) The Company will assist a Withdrawn Member or his estate or guardian, as the case may be, in the settlement of the Withdrawn Member’s Capital Commitment Member Interest in the Company. Third
party costs incurred by the Company in providing this assistance will be borne by the Withdrawn Member or his estate. 
 (i) The
Company may reasonably determine in good faith to retain outside professionals to provide the assistance to Withdrawn Members or their estates or guardians, as referred to above. In such instances, the Company will obtain the prior approval of a
Withdrawn Member or his estate or guardian, as the case may be, prior to engaging such professionals. If the Withdrawn Member (or his estate or guardian) declines to incur such costs, the Company will provide such reasonable assistance as and when
it can so as not to interfere with the Company’s day-to-day operating, financial, tax and other related responsibilities to the Company and the Members. 
 (j) Each Member hereby irrevocably appoints the Managing Member as such Member’s true and lawful agent, representative and attorney-in-fact, each acting alone, in such Member’s name, place and
stead, to make, execute, sign and file, on behalf of such Member, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and certificates which such Managing Member deems necessary or advisable in connection with any transaction or matter contemplated by or
provided for in this Section 8.1, including, without limitation, the performance of any obligation of such Member or the Company or the exercise of any right of such Member or the Company. Such power of attorney is coupled with an interest and
shall survive and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the Withdrawal from the Company of any Member for any reason and shall not be affected by the death, disability or incapacity of such Member. 

8.2. Transfer of Member’s Capital Commitment Interest. Except as otherwise agreed by the Managing Member, no Member or former
Member shall have the right to sell, assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise dispose of or transfer (“Transfer”) all or part of any such 

  
 71 









 
Member’s Capital Commitment Member Interest in the Company; provided, that this Section 8.2 shall in no way impair Transfers (i) as permitted in Section 8.1 above, in
the case of the purchase of a Withdrawn Member’s or deceased or Totally Disabled Member’s Capital Commitment Interests, (ii) Transfers by a Member to another Member of Non- Contingent Capital Commitment Interests, (iii) Transfers
of up to 25% of a Regular Member’s Capital Commitment Member Interest to an Estate Planning Vehicle and (iv) with the prior written consent of the Managing Member (which consent may be withheld without giving any reason therefor). No
person acquiring an interest in the Company pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall become a Member of the Company, or acquire such Member’s right to participate in the affairs of the Company, unless such person shall be admitted as a Member
pursuant to Section 6.1. A Member shall not cease to be a Member of the Company upon the collateral assignment of, or the pledging or granting of a security interest in, its entire Interest in the Company in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement. 
 8.3. Compliance with Law. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, no sale or Transfer of
a Capital Commitment Interest in the Company may be made except in compliance with all Federal, State and other applicable laws, including Federal and State securities laws. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 DISSOLUTION 

9.1. Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and subsequently terminated: 

(a) pursuant to Section 6.6; or 
 (b) upon the expiration of the Term. 
 9.2. Final Distribution. Upon the
dissolution of the Company, and following the payment of creditors of the Company and the making of provisions for the payment of any contingent, conditional or unmatured claims known to the Company as required under the LLC Act: 

(a) The Members’ respective interests in the Company shall be valued and settled in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 6.5 which provide for allocations to the GP-Related Capital Accounts of the Members and distributions in accordance with the GP-Related Capital Account balances of the Members; and 

(b) With respect to each Member’s Capital Commitment Member Interest, an amount shall be paid to such Member in cash or Securities
in an amount equal to such Member’s respective Capital Commitment Liquidating Share for each Capital Commitment Investment; provided, that if the remaining assets relating to any Capital Commitment Investment shall not be equal to or
exceed the aggregate Capital Commitment Liquidating Shares for such Capital Commitment Investment, to each Member in proportion to its Capital Commitment Liquidating Share for such Capital Commitment Investment; and the remaining assets of the
Company related to the Members’ Capital Commitment Member Interests shall be paid to the Members in cash or Securities in proportion to their respective Capital Commitment Profit Sharing Percentages for each Capital Commitment Investment from
which such cash or Securities are derived. 

  
 72 









 The Managing Member shall be the liquidator. In the event that the Managing Member is unable
to serve as liquidator, a liquidating trustee shall be chosen by the affirmative vote of a Majority in Interest of the Members voting at a meeting of Members (excluding Nonvoting Special Members). 

9.3. Amounts Reserved Related to Capital Commitment Member Interests. (a) If there are any Securities or other property or other
investments or securities related to the Members’ Capital Commitment Member Interests which, in the judgment of the liquidator, cannot be sold, or properly distributed in kind in the case of dissolution, without sacrificing a significant
portion of the value thereof, the value of a Member’s interest in each such Security or other investment or security may be excluded from the amount distributed to the Members participating in the related Capital Commitment Investment pursuant
to Section 9.2(b). Any interest of a Member, including his pro rata interest in any gains, losses or distributions, in Securities or other property or other investments or securities so excluded shall not be paid or distributed until such time
as the liquidator shall determine. 
 (b) If there is any pending transaction, contingent liability or claim by or against the
Company related to the Members’ Capital Commitment Member Interests as to which the interest or obligation of any Member therein cannot, in the judgment of the liquidator, be then ascertained, the value thereof or probable loss therefrom may be
deducted from the amount distributable to such Member pursuant to Section 9.2(b). No amount shall be paid or charged to any such Member on account of any such transaction or claim until its final settlement or such earlier time as the
liquidator shall determine. The Company may meanwhile retain from other sums due such Member in respect of such Member’s Capital Commitment Member Interest an amount which the liquidator estimates to be sufficient to cover the share of such
Member in any probable loss or liability on account of such transaction or claim. 
 (c) Upon determination by the liquidator
that circumstances no longer require the exclusion of any Securities or other property or retention of sums as provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 9.3, the liquidator shall, at the earliest practicable time, distribute
as provided in Section 9.2(b) such sums or such Securities or other property or the proceeds realized from the sale of such Securities or other property to each Member from whom such sums or Securities or other property were withheld.

 ARTICLE X 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 10.1. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a)
Any and all disputes which cannot be settled amicably, including any ancillary claims of any party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or non-performance of this
Agreement (including the validity, scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision) shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in New York, NY, in accordance with the then-existing Rules of Arbitration of the
International Chamber of Commerce. If the parties to the dispute fail to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the request for arbitration, the International Chamber of Commerce shall make the
appointment. The arbitrator shall be a lawyer and shall conduct the proceedings in the English language. Performance under this Agreement shall continue if reasonably possible during any arbitration proceedings. 

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), the Managing Member may bring, or may cause the Company to bring, on behalf of the
Managing Member or the Company or on behalf of one or more Members, an action or special proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of compelling a party to arbitrate, seeking temporary or preliminary relief in aid of an
arbitration hereunder, and/or enforcing an arbitration award and, for the purposes of this paragraph (b), each Member (i) expressly consents to the application of paragraph (c) of this Section 10.1 to any such action or proceeding,
(ii) agrees that proof shall not be required that monetary damages for breach of the provisions of this Agreement would be difficult to calculate and that remedies at law would be inadequate, and (iii) irrevocably appoints the Managing
Member as such Member’s agent for service of process in connection with any such action or proceeding and agrees that service of process upon any such agent, who shall promptly advise such Member of any such service of process, shall be deemed
in every respect effective service of process upon the Member in any such action or proceeding. 
 (c) (i) EACH MEMBER
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF PARAGRAPH (b) OF THIS SECTION 10.1, OR ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING
ANCILLARY TO AN ARBITRATION OR CONTEMPLATED ARBITRATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO OR CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT. Such ancillary judicial proceedings include any suit, action or proceeding to compel arbitration, to obtain temporary or preliminary
judicial relief in aid of arbitration, or to confirm an arbitration award. The parties acknowledge that the forum(s) designated by this paragraph (c) have a reasonable relation to this Agreement, and to the parties’ relationship with one
another. 
 (ii) The parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which
they now or hereafter may have to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any such ancillary suit, action or proceeding brought in any court referred to in paragraph (c)(i) of this Section 10.1 and such parties agree not to plead or
claim the same. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 10.1 shall be
construed to the maximum extent possible to comply with the laws of the State of Delaware, including the Delaware Uniform Arbitration Act (10 Del. C. § 5701 et seq.) (the “Delaware Arbitration Act”). If,
nevertheless, it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision or wording of this Section 10.1, including any rules of the 

  
 74 









 
International Chamber of Commerce, shall be invalid or unenforceable under the Delaware Arbitration Act, or other applicable law, such invalidity shall not invalidate all of this
Section 10.1. In that case, this Section 10.1 shall be construed so as to limit any term or provision so as to make it valid or enforceable within the requirements of the Delaware Arbitration Act or other applicable law, and, in the event
such term or provision cannot be so limited, this Section 10.1 shall be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable provision. 
 10.2. Ownership and Use of the Blackstone Name. The Company acknowledges that Blackstone TM L.L.C. (“TM”), a Delaware limited liability company with a principal place of business
at 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154, (or its successors or assigns) is the sole and exclusive owner of the mark and name BLACKSTONE and that the ownership of, and the right to use, sell or otherwise dispose of, the firm name or any
abbreviation or modification thereof which consists of or includes BLACKSTONE, shall belong exclusively to TM. The Company shall not be permitted to use the BLACKSTONE name and service mark without the prior written consent of TM. To the extent the
Company is permitted to use the BLACKSTONE name and service mark, all services rendered by the Company under the BLACKSTONE mark and name will be rendered in a manner and with quality levels that are consistent with the high reputation heretofore
developed for the BLACKSTONE mark by TM and its Affiliates and licensees. The Company understands that, to the extent TM hereinafter permits the Company to use the BLACKSTONE name and service mark, TM may thereafter terminate the Company’s
right to use BLACKSTONE at any time in TM’s sole discretion by giving the Company written notice of termination. Promptly following any such termination, the Company will take all steps necessary to change its company name to one which does not
include BLACKSTONE or any confusingly similar term and cease all use of BLACKSTONE or any term confusingly similar thereto as a service mark or otherwise. 
 10.3. Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken by a vote of Members at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if a Majority in Interest of the Members consent thereto in
writing. 
 10.4. Letter Agreements; Schedules. The Managing Member may, or may cause the Company to, enter into separate
letter agreements with individual Members, officers or employees with respect to GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages, Capital Commitment Profit Sharing Percentages, benefits or any other matter. The Managing Member may from time to time execute
and deliver to the Members schedules which set forth the then current capital balances, GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages and Capital Commitment Profit Sharing Percentages of the Members and any other matters deemed appropriate by the Managing
Member. Such schedules shall be for information purposes only and shall not be deemed to be part of this Agreement for any purpose whatsoever; provided, that this in no way limits the effectiveness of any Commitment Agreement. 

10.5. Governing Law; Separability of Provisions. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware without regard to principles of conflict of laws. In particular, the Company has been formed pursuant to the LLC Act, and the rights and liabilities of the Members shall be as provided therein, except as herein otherwise
expressly provided. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, such provision shall be given its meaning to the maximum extent permitted by law and the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. 

  
 75 









 10.6. Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and shall, subject to the penultimate sentence of Section 6.3(a), inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective heirs and personal representatives, and any successor to a trustee of a trust which is or becomes a
party hereto; provided, that no person claiming by, through or under a Member (whether such Member’s heir, personal representative or otherwise), as distinct from such Member itself, shall have any rights as, or in respect to, a Member
(including the right to approve or vote on any matter or to notice thereof) except the right to receive only those distributions expressly payable to such person pursuant to Articles VI and VIII. Any Member or Withdrawn Member shall remain liable
for the obligations under this Agreement (including any Net GP-Related Recontribution Amounts and any Capital Commitment Recontribution Amounts) of any transferee of all or any portion of such Member’s or Withdrawn Member’s interest in the
Company, unless waived by the Managing Member. The Company shall, if the Managing Member determines in its good faith judgment, based on the standards set forth in Sections 5.8(d)(ii)(A) and 7.4(g)(ii)(A), to pursue such transferee, pursue payment
(including any Net GP-Related Recontribution Amounts and/or Capital Commitment Recontribution Amounts) from the transferee with respect to any such obligations. Nothing in this Agreement is intended, nor shall anything herein be construed, to confer
any rights, legal or equitable, on any person other than the Members and their respective legal representatives, heirs, successors and permitted assigns. 
 10.7. Confidentiality. By executing this Agreement, each Member expressly agrees, at all times during the term of the Company and thereafter and whether or not at the time a Member of the Company,
to maintain the confidentiality of, and not to disclose to any person other than the Company, another Member or a person designated by the Company, any information relating to the business, financial structure, financial position or financial
results, clients or affairs of the Company that shall not be generally known to the public or the securities industry, except as otherwise required by law or by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization having jurisdiction; provided,
that any corporate Member may disclose any such information it is required by law, rule, regulation or custom to disclose. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b)(3)(i),
each Member (and any employee, representative or other agent of such Member) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. federal income tax treatment and tax structure of the Company, it being understood and agreed,
for this purpose, (1) the name of, or any other identifying information regarding (a) the Members or any existing or future investor (or any Affiliate thereof) in any of the Members, or (b) any investment or transaction entered into
by the Members; (2) any performance information relating to any of the Members or their investments; and (3) any performance or other information relating to previous funds or investments sponsored by any of the Members, does not
constitute such tax treatment or tax structure information. 
 10.8. Notices. Whenever notice is required or permitted by
this Agreement to be given, such notice shall be in writing (including telecopy or similar writing) and shall be given to any Member at its address or telecopy number shown in the Company’s books and records or, if given to the Managing Member,
at the address of the Company provided herein. Each such notice shall be effective (i) if given by telecopy, upon dispatch, and (ii) if given by hand delivery, when delivered to the address of such Member or Managing Member specified as
aforesaid. 

  
 76 









 10.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute a single instrument. 
 10.10. Power of
Attorney. Each Member hereby irrevocably appoints the Managing Member as such Member’s true and lawful representative and attorney-in-fact, each acting alone, in such Member’s name, place and stead, to make, execute, sign and file all
instruments, documents and certificates which, from time to time, may be required to set forth any amendment to this Agreement or may be required by this Agreement or by the laws of the United States of America, the State of Delaware or any other
state in which the Company shall determine to do business, or any political subdivision or agency thereof, to execute, implement and continue the valid and subsisting existence of the Company. Such power of attorney is coupled with an interest and
shall survive and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the subsequent Withdrawal from the Company of any Member for any reason and shall not be affected by the subsequent disability or incapacity of such Member. 

10.11. Member’s Will. Each Member and Withdrawn Member shall include in his or her will a provision that addresses certain
matters in respect of his or her obligations relating to the Company that is satisfactory to the Managing Member and each such Member and Withdrawn Member shall confirm annually to the Company, in writing, that such provision remains in his current
will. Where applicable, any estate planning trust of such Member or Withdrawn Member to which a portion of such Member’s or Withdrawn Member’s Interest is transferred shall include a provision substantially similar to such provision and
the trustee of such trust shall confirm annually to the Company, in writing, that such provision or its substantial equivalent remains in such trust. In the event any Member or Withdrawn Member fails to comply with the provisions of this
Section 10.11 after the Company has notified such Member or Withdrawn Member of his failure to so comply and such failure to so comply is not cured within 30 days of such notice, the Company may withhold any and all distributions to such Member
until the time at which such party complies with the requirements of this Section 10.11. 
 10.12. Cumulative
Remedies. Rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and do not preclude use of other rights and remedies available under applicable law. 
 10.13. Legal Fees. Except as more specifically provided herein, in the event of a legal dispute (including litigation, arbitration or mediation) between any Member or Withdrawn Member and the
Company, arising in connection with any party seeking to enforce Section 4.1(d) or any other provision of this Agreement relating to the Holdback, the Clawback Amount, the GP-Related Giveback Amount, the Capital Commitment Giveback Amount, the
Net GP-Related Recontribution Amount or the Capital Commitment Recontribution Amount, the “losing” party to such dispute shall promptly reimburse the “victorious party” for all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in
connection with such dispute (such determination to be made by the relevant adjudicator). Any amounts due under this Section 10.13 shall be paid within 30 days of the date upon which such amounts are due to be paid and such amounts remaining
unpaid after such date shall accrue interest at the Default Interest Rate.
