(c) Meetings of the Members may be called only by the Managing Member. 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Regular Member or Withdrawn Member that fails to respond to a notice provided by
the Managing Member requesting the consent, approval or vote of such Regular Member or Withdrawn Member within 14 days after such notice is sent to such Regular Member or Withdrawn Member shall be deemed to have given its affirmative consent or
approval thereto.

Section 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, 

  
 24 













 
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. 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 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. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, the parties hereto agree that the Managing Member shall be held to have acted in good faith for the purposes of this Agreement and its duties under the LLC Act if it believes that it has acted honestly and in
accordance with the specific terms of this Agreement. 
 (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(b), “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 3.5(b) 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; 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 

  
 25 













 
subsequently determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 3.5(b), 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 3.5(b). The Managing Member shall have the authority to enter into separate agreements with
any Covered Person in order to give effect to the obligations to indemnify pursuant to this Section 3.5(b). 
 (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 BTOSI – N 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 BTOSI – N;
second, by the applicable portfolio entity through which such investment is indirectly held; third, by BTOSI – N 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 BTOSI – N 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, BTOSI – N and/or the applicable portfolio entity (including by virtue of any applicable insurance policies maintained thereby), it is agreed
among the Members that the Company shall have a subrogation claim against Associates and/or BTOSI – N 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 Inc. 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. 
 Section 3.6. Representations of Members.
(a) Each Regular Member and 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 

  
 26 













 
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 (pursuant to Section 6.3(a) and otherwise in
accordance with the terms hereof). Each Regular Member and Special Member represents and warrants that such Member understands that the Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act 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 Member and 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 Member and 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 Member and Special Member represents that to the full satisfaction of the 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 Member and 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 Member and 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. 

Section 3.7. Tax Representation and Further Assurances. (a) Each Regular Member and Special Member, upon the request
of the Managing Member, agrees to perform all further acts and to execute, acknowledge and deliver any documents that may be reasonably necessary to comply with the Managing Member’s or the Company’s obligations under applicable law or to
carry out the provisions of this Agreement. 
 (b) Each Regular Member and Special Member certifies that (A) if the Regular Member or
Special Member is a United States person (as defined in the Code) (x) (i) the Regular Member or Special 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, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number Certification (“W-9”) or otherwise are correct and (ii) the
Regular Member or Special Member will complete and return a W-9 and (y) (i) the Regular Member or Special Member is a United States person (as defined in the Code) and (ii)


  
 27 













 
the Regular Member or Special Member will notify the Company within 60 days of a change to foreign (non-United States) status or (B) if the Regular
Member or Special 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 and Reporting (Individuals) (“W-8BEN”), IRS Form W-8BEN-E, Certificate of Status of
Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Entities) (“W-8BEN-E”), or other applicable form, including but not limited to IRS
Form W-8IMY, Certificate of Foreign Intermediary, Foreign Flow-Through Entity, or Certain U.S. Branches for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting
(“W-8IMY”), or otherwise is correct and (ii) the Regular Member or Special Member will complete and return the applicable IRS form, including but not limited to a W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8IMY, and (y) (i) the Regular Member or Special Member is not a
United States person (as defined in the Code) and (ii) the Regular Member or Special Member will notify the Company within 60 days of any change of such status. Each Regular Member and Special Member agrees to provide such cooperation and
assistance, including but not limited to properly executing and providing to the Company in a timely manner any tax or other documentation or information that may be reasonably requested by the Company or the Managing Member. 

(c) Each Regular Member and Special Member acknowledges and agrees that the Company and the Managing Member may release confidential
information or other information about the Regular Member or Special Member or related to such Regular Member or Special Member’s investment in the Company if the Company or the Managing Member, in its or their sole discretion, determines that
such disclosure is required by applicable law or regulation or in order to comply for an exception from, or reduced tax rate of, tax or other tax benefit. Any such disclosure shall not be treated as a breach of any restriction upon the disclosure of
information imposed on any such person by law or otherwise, and a Regular Member or Special Member shall have no claim against the Company, the Managing Member or any of their Affiliates for any form of damages or liability as a result of actions
taken by the foregoing in order to comply with any disclosure obligations that the foregoing reasonably believe are required by law, regulation or otherwise. 

(d) Each Regular Member and Special Member acknowledges and agrees that if it provides information that is in anyway materially misleading, or
if it fails to provide the Company or its agents with any information requested hereunder, in either case in order to satisfy the Company’s obligations, the Managing Member reserves the right to take any action and pursue any remedies at its
disposal, including (i) requiring such Regular Member or Special Member to Withdraw for Cause and (ii) withholding or deducting any costs caused by such Regular Member’s action or inaction from amounts otherwise distributable to such
Regular Member or Special Member from the Company and its Affiliates. 
 ARTICLE IV 

CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY 

Section 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 

  
 28 













 
the Company’s obligation to make capital contributions to Associates in respect of the GP-Related Associates Interest to fund Associates’ capital
contributions with respect to any GP-Related BTOSI – N Investment and as are otherwise determined by the Managing Member from time to time or as may be set forth in such Regular Member’s Commitment
Agreement or SMD Agreement, if any, or otherwise; 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
Section 4.1(d) and Section 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 BTOSI – N 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 Inc. 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
Inc. 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 the distributions
relating to 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 and/or Blackstone Holdings III L.P. 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
and/or Blackstone Holdings III L.P. 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 or her 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 or her 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
Managing Member 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 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 

  
 30 













 
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 of the Regular Members 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 such 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 its 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. 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. 

(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 

  
 31 













 
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 or her Holdback obligation in respect of his or her 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 or she was a Member), to the extent his or her 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, granting a security interest or otherwise making available to the Managing Member, on a first priority basis (except as provided below), all or any portion of his or her Firm
Collateral in satisfaction of his or her 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 or grant a security interest over 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 Managing Member 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. 

(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 

  
 32 













 
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 or her Excess Holdback requirement. If any such Member or Withdrawn Member defaults upon his or her obligations under this clause (C), then
Section 5.8(d)(ii) shall apply thereto; provided, that clause (A) 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 or 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 BTOSI – N, 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 

  
 33 













 
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 or her 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 or her 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 or her 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 or grant a security interest 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 for a period of 90 days, and thereafter shall equal at least 115% of the required Holdback.
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 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 or her Holdback (excluding any Excess Holdback), and such Member or a Withdrawn Member may, to the extent his or her Holdback (excluding any Excess Holdback) has been previously
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 

  
 34 













 
pledging or granting a security interest to the Trustee(s) on a first priority basis all of his or her 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 or her Holdback in cash or an L/C. 
 (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 or her 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 

  
 35 













 
“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. 

Section 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. 
 Section 4.3.
Withdrawals of Capital. No Member may withdraw capital related to such Member’s GP-Related Member Interests 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.

 PARTICIPATION IN PROFITS AND LOSSES 

Section 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 BTOSI – N Interest for any accounting period (other than GP-Related Net Income (Loss) from GP-Related Investments described below) 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). 

  
 36 













 (c) “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). 
 (d) “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. 

(e) 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 in 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 in the books of the Company pursuant to Treasury
Regulations 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 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, Blackstone Holdings III L.P. and other Affiliates of the Company shall be allocated among the Company, Blackstone Holdings III
L.P. 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 GAAP; provided, that the Managing Member shall not be
required to make any such adjustment. 
 (f) 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 

  
 37 













 
begin a new accounting period, then the Managing Member may make such adjustments as it deems appropriate to the Member’s 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. 

(g) 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. 

(h) 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. 

Section 5.2. GP-Related Capital Accounts. (a) There shall be established for each
Member in 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 BTOSI – N Interest and the GP-Related Net Income (Loss) of the Company (each a
“GP-Related Capital Account”). 
 (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. 
 Section 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 

  
 38 













 
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 (c) 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 (c) 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 a “GP-Related Unallocated Percentage”); provided, that any
GP-Related Unallocated Percentage 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. 

Section 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 

  
 39 













 
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 BTOSI – N and allocated to the Company with respect to its pro rata share thereof (based on
capital contributions made by the Company to BTOSI – N with respect to the GP-Related BTOSI – N 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 BTOSI – N and
(ii) GP-Related Net Loss relating to realized losses suffered by BTOSI – N 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. 

(d) To the extent the Company has any GP-Related Net Income (Loss) for any accounting period unrelated
to BTOSI – N, 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 Inc. or any Affiliate thereof) against their allocable shares of GP-Related Net
Income (Loss). 
 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Managing Member may make such allocations as it deems reasonably necessary to give
economic effect to the provisions of this Agreement, taking into account facts and circumstances as the Managing Member deems reasonably necessary for this purpose. 

Section 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 

  
 40 













 
distributions received by such Member from the Company, in each case except as specifically provided in Section 4.1(d) or Section 5.8 or otherwise in this Agreement, as such Member
shall otherwise expressly agree in writing or as may be required by applicable law. 
 Section 5.6. [Intentionally omitted.]

 Section 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 BTOSI – N 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. 
 Section 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 Section 4.1(d) and
Section 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 BTOSI – N 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 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 BTOSI – N) 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 BTOSI – N) 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 

  
 41 













 
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 U.S. 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 rate of U.S. federal, New York State and New York City and other income taxes (including, without limitation, taxes under Sections 1401 and 1411 of the Code), (ii) taking into account
(x) the limitations on the deductibility of expenses and other items for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (y) the character (e.g., long-term or short-term capital gain or ordinary or exempt) of the applicable income) 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 or her death, Total Disability or Incompetence, the undistributed share of any GP-Related Investment that remains Contingent 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 BTOSI – N 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 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 Managing Member 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 Managing Member, 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 BTOSI – N
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 BTOSI – N 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 BTOSI – N Investment referred to in clause (II)(a) above, and (c) if the GP-Related Giveback Amount pursuant to an applicable BTOSI – N Agreement is unrelated to a
specific GP-Related BTOSI – N Investment, all GP-Related BTOSI – N Investments. Each Member and Withdrawn Member shall promptly contribute to the Company,
along with satisfying his or her 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 Managing Member, 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 Giveback Amount exceeds his or her 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 Managing Member shall specify each Member’s and Withdrawn Member’s GP-Related Recontribution Amount. Prior to such time, the Managing Member may, in its discretion (but
shall be under no obligation to), provide notice that in the Managing Member’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 

  
 43 













 
Withdrawn Member shall, within 10 days of the Managing Member’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). Solely to the extent required by the BTOSI – N Partnership
Agreement, each partner of the Managing Member shall have the same obligations as a Member (which obligations shall be subject to the same limitations as the obligations of a Member) under this Section 5.8(d)(i)(B) and under
Section 5.8(d)(ii)(A) with respect to such partner’s pro rata share of any Clawback Amount and solely to the extent that the Company has insufficient funds to meet the Company’s obligations under the BTOSI – N Partnership
Agreement. 
 (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 Managing Member 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 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 

  
 44 













 
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 Managing Member 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 Managing Member may sell, collect or otherwise realize upon such collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Member and
Withdrawn Member hereby appoints the Managing Member 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 Managing Member, to take any actions which may be necessary to accomplish the intent of the immediately preceding sentence. The Managing Member shall be entitled to collect interest on the Net GP-Related Recontribution Amount of a GP-Related Defaulting Party from the date such Net 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. 
 (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 (as defined in the BTOSI – N Agreements) and Losses 

  
 45 













 
(as defined in the BTOSI – N Agreements) on GP-Related BTOSI – N Investments that have been the subject of a writedown and/or Net Realized Loss
(as defined in the BTOSI – N Agreements) (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 BTOSI – N 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 BTOSI – N Investment (the “Subject Investment”) that have been reduced under any BTOSI – N 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 or her 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 BTOSI – N) 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 BTOSI – N) 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”). 

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 or her 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 Income Tax Rate (as defined in the BTOSI – N
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


  
 46 













 
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). 
 (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 (as defined in the BTOSI – N Agreements) in any GP-Related BTOSI – N Investments which gave rise to the Clawback Amount (i.e., the Losses that followed the last GP-Related BTOSI – N Investment with respect
to which Carried Interest distributions were made), based on such Member’s Carried Interest Sharing Percentage in such GP-Related BTOSI – N 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 

  
 47 













 
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 BTOSI – N Agreements. 
 Section 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. 
 Section 5.10. Tax Capital Accounts; Tax Allocations. (a) For U.S. 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 are 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 Treasury Regulations thereunder. 

(b) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company shall be allocated among the Members for U.S. 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. 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 Treasury 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 Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5).


  
 48 













 
The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). In addition, this Agreement shall be
considered to contain a “qualified income offset” as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Managing Member in its sole discretion
shall make allocations for tax purposes as may be needed to ensure that allocations are in accordance with the interests of the Members within the meaning of the Code and the Treasury Regulations. 

(c) For U.S. 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 the other provisions of this Section 5.10; provided, that the
Managing Member may in its sole discretion make such allocations for tax purposes as it determines are 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 Treasury Regulations thereunder. To the extent there is an adjustment by a taxing authority to any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Company (or an adjustment to any Member’s distributive share thereof), the
Managing Member may reallocate the adjusted items among each Member or former Member (as determined by the Managing Member) in accordance with the final resolution of such audit adjustment. 

ARTICLE VI 
 ADDITIONAL MEMBERS;
WITHDRAWAL OF MEMBERS; 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF 

COMPANY INTERESTS; TERMINATION 

Section 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 Section 3.6 and Section 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. If Blackstone or another or subsequent holder of an Investor Note approved by the Managing Member for
purposes of this Section 6.1(a) shall foreclose upon a Regular Member’s Investor Note issued to finance such Regular Member’s purchase of his or her Capital Commitment Interests, Blackstone or such other or subsequent holder shall
succeed to such Regular Member’s Capital Commitment Interests and shall be deemed to have become a Regular 

  
 49 













 
Member to such extent. Any additional Member may have a GP-Related Member Interest or a Capital Commitment Member Interest, without having the other such
interest. 
 (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. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Managing Member is authorized, without the need
for any further act, vote or consent of any person, to make adjustments to the GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentages as it determines necessary in its sole discretion in connection with any additional Members
admitted to the Company, adjustments with respect to other Members of the Company and to give effect to other matters set forth herein, as applicable. 

(c) An additional Member shall be required to contribute to the Company his or her 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 Section 4.1 and Section 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. 
 Section 6.2. Withdrawal of Members. (a) Any Member may Withdraw voluntarily from the
Company subject to the prior written consent of the Managing Member, including 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. Without limiting the foregoing sentence, the Managing Member generally intends to permit voluntary Withdrawals 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 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 

  
 50 













 
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. 

(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. A Withdrawn Managing Member shall remain liable for all obligations of the Company incurred while it was a Managing Member and resulting
from its acts or omissions as a Managing Member to the fullest extent provided by law. 
 Section 6.3. GP-Related Member Interests Not Transferable. (a) No Member may sell, assign, pledge, grant a security interest over 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, subject to the prior written consent of the Managing Member, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, a Regular Member may transfer, for estate planning purposes, up to 25% of his or her 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 

  
 51 













 
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 given or withheld in its sole discretion 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. 

(b) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, no sale or transfer of any GP-Related Member
Interest in the Company may be made except in compliance with all federal, state and other applicable laws, including U.S. federal and state securities laws. 

Section 6.4. Consequences upon Withdrawal of a Member. (a) Subject to the LLC Act, the Managing Member may not transfer or
assign its interest as a Managing Member in the Company or its right to manage the affairs of the Company, except that the Managing Member may, subject to the LLC Act, with the prior written approval of a Majority in Interest of the Members, admit
another person as an additional or substitute Managing Member who makes such representations with respect to itself as the Managing Member deems necessary or appropriate (with regard to compliance with applicable law or otherwise); provided
however, that the Managing Member may, in its sole discretion, transfer all or part of its interest in the Company to a person who makes such representations with respect to itself as the Managing Member deems necessary or appropriate (with
regard to compliance with applicable law or otherwise) and who owns, directly or indirectly, the principal part of the business then conducted by the Managing Member in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or reorganization of the Managing
Member, and, upon the assumption by such person of liability for all the obligations of the Managing Member under this Agreement, such person shall be admitted as the Managing Member. A person who is so admitted as an additional or substitute
Managing Member shall thereby become a Managing Member and shall have the right to manage the affairs of the Company and to vote as a Member to the extent of the interest in the Company so acquired. The Managing Member shall not cease to be the
managing 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. 

(b) Except as contemplated by Section 6.4(a) above, Withdrawal by a Managing Member is not permitted. The Withdrawal of a Member shall not
dissolve the Company if at the time of such Withdrawal there are one or more remaining Members and any one or more of such remaining Members continue the business of the Company (any and all such remaining Members being hereby authorized to continue
the business of the Company without dissolution and hereby agreeing to do so). Notwithstanding Section 6.4(c), if upon the Withdrawal of a Member there shall be no remaining Regular Members, the Company shall be dissolved and shall be wound up
unless, within 90 days after the occurrence of such Withdrawal, all remaining Special 

  
 52 













 
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. 

(c) 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. 
 Section 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 or her 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 or her 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. 

(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 

  
 53 













 
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 or her 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 Company in lieu of a cash payment (or Investor Note) in settlement of that portion of 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. 

  
 54 













 (f) For purposes of clause (y) of paragraph (e)(i) above, a Withdrawn Member’s
“percentage interest” means his or her GP-Related Profit Sharing Percentage as of the Settlement Date in the relevant GP-Related Investment. The Withdrawn
Member shall retain his or her percentage interest in such GP-Related Investment and shall retain his or her 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 or her 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 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 

  
 55 













 
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 or her estate such excess, or to charge the Withdrawn Member or
his or her 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 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. 
 (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 or her
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 or she has an interest as of his or her 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 or her 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


  
 56 













 
Member with the balance of his or her GP-Related Capital Account or portion thereof attributable to each such
GP-Related Investment as of his or her Settlement Date without giving effect to the GP-Related Unrealized Net Income (Loss) from such
GP-Related Investment as of his or her 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 or her 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. 
 (q) (i) The Company will assist a Withdrawn Member or his or her 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 or her estate. 
 (ii) The Managing Member 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 Managing Member will obtain the prior approval of a Withdrawn Member or his or her estate or guardian,
as the 

  
 57 













 
case may be, prior to engaging such professionals. If the Withdrawn Member (or his or her estate or guardian) declines to incur such costs, the Managing Member 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. 

Section 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. Upon the dissolution of the Company, the Members’ respective interests in the Company shall be valued and settled in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 6.5, which provides for allocations to the GP-Related Capital Accounts of the Members and distributions in accordance with the capital account balances of the Members. 

Section 6.7. Certain Tax Matters. (a) The Managing Member shall determine all matters concerning allocations for tax purposes
not expressly provided for herein in its sole discretion. 
 (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 or she shall
not, unless he or she provides prior notice of such action to the Company, (i) treat, on his or her individual income tax returns, any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit relating to his or her 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 or her 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,


  
 58 













 
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 or her 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 or she 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 “partnership representative” (as defined under 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. 
 (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. 

(d) To the extent the Managing Member reasonably determines that the Company (or any entity in which the Company holds an interest) is or may
be required by law to withhold or to make tax payments, including interest and penalties on such amounts, on behalf of or with respect to any Member, including pursuant to Section 6225 of the Code (“Tax Advances”), the Managing
Member may withhold or escrow such amounts or make such tax payments as so required. All Tax Advances made on behalf of a Member shall, at the option of the Managing Member, (i) be promptly paid to the Company by the Member on whose behalf such
Tax Advances were made or (ii) be repaid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Member or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose,
by so reducing the proceeds upon dissolution of the Company otherwise payable to such Member. Whenever the Managing Member selects option (ii) pursuant to the preceding sentence for repayment of a Tax Advance by a Member, for all other purposes
of this Agreement such Member shall be treated as having received all distributions (whether before or upon dissolution of the Company) unreduced by the amount of such Tax Advance. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Member hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from and against any liability (including, without limitation, any liability for taxes, penalties, additions to tax or interest) with respect to income attributable to or distributions or
other payments to such Member. The obligations of a Member set forth in this 

  
 59 













 
Section 6.7(d) shall survive the Withdrawal of any Member from the Company or any Transfer of a Member’s interest. 

Section 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 Treasury 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 

Section 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 BTOSI – N Interest and matters related to the Capital Commitment Member Interests and the Capital Commitment BTOSI – N 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 BTOSI – N 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 BTOSI – N or Associates in respect of the Capital Commitment BTOSI – N Interest, if any,
and the related Capital Commitment BTOSI – N 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. 

(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 

  
 60 













 
admitted to the Company pursuant to Section 6.1 but excluding any Members that are also executive officers of Blackstone) all or any portion of the Capital Commitment-Related 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. 

Section 7.2. Capital Commitment Capital Accounts. (a) There shall be established for each Member in 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-Related Capital Contribution of a Member shall be credited to the appropriate
Capital Commitment Capital Account of such Member on the date such Capital Commitment-Related 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 or her 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. 
 Section 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 

  
 61 













 
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 Section 7.7 shall be specially allocated to the electing
Member. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Managing Member may make such allocations as it deems reasonably necessary to give economic
effect to the provisions of this Agreement, taking into account facts and circumstances as the Managing Member deems reasonably necessary for this purpose. 

Section 7.4. Distributions. 

(a) Each Member’s allocable portion of Capital Commitment Net Income received from his or her 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 U.S. 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 rate of U.S. federal, New York State and New York City taxes (including, without limitation, taxes imposed under Section 1411 of the Code), taking into account the character of such taxable income allocated by the Company and the
limitations 

  
 62 













 
on deductibility of expenses and other items for U.S. 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 BE 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 BE Agreements comparable to the immediately preceding proviso shall reduce those amounts otherwise distributable to the Member pursuant to provisions in such other
BE 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 BE 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 Entity (other
than the Company) in respect of interests therein relating to BE 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. 

To the extent there is a partial disposition of a Capital Commitment Investment or any other BE Investment, as applicable, the payments in
clauses (iii) and (iv) above shall be based on that portion of the Capital Commitment Investment or other BE Investment, as applicable, 

  
 63 













 
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 Blackstone Holdings III L.P. 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 or her 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 Blackstone Holdings III L.P. 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 Section 7.4(a). 

(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 BTOSI – N (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
(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, 

  
 64 













 
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 BTOSI – N in respect of any
Capital Commitment BTOSI – N Interest that may be held by the Company or (y) Associates is obligated under the Giveback Provisions to contribute to BTOSI – N a Giveback Amount with respect to any Capital Commitment BTOSI – N
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 Managing Member 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 Managing Member, such an amount of prior distributions by the Company with respect to
the Capital Commitment BTOSI – N Interest (the “Capital Commitment Recontribution Amount”) which equals such Member’s pro rata share of prior distributions in connection with (a) the Capital Commitment
BTOSI – N 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 BTOSI
– N Investments other than the one giving rise to such obligation, and (c) if the Capital Commitment Giveback Amount pursuant to an applicable BTOSI – N Agreement is unrelated to a specific Capital Commitment BTOSI – N
Investment, all Capital Commitment BTOSI – N Investments. Each Member shall promptly contribute to the Company upon notice thereof such Member’s Capital Commitment Recontribution Amount. Prior to such time, the Managing Member 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 Managing Member 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 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


  
 65 













 
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 Managing Member 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 Managing Member may sell, collect or otherwise
realize upon such collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Member hereby appoints the Managing Member 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 Managing Member 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. 
 Section 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 BTOSI – N) in valuing investments of BTOSI – N or, in the case of investments not held by BTOSI – N, 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 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 

  
 66 













 
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. 
 Section 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. 
 Section 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 
 Section 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 Non-Contingent for purposes hereof based upon the proportion of (a) the sum of Capital
Commitment-Related 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-Related Capital
Contributions not financed by an Investor 

  
 67 













 
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 Blackstone Holdings III L.P. 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 BE Investments that are related to one or more Blackstone 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) (i) 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 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
after 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 prior consent of the Managing Member, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), 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. 
 (ii) The purchase price for each such
Contingent Capital Commitment Interest shall be an amount equal to (A) 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 paid in cash)
and (B) an additional amount (the “Adjustment Amount”) equal to (x) all interest paid by the Member on the portion of the principal amount of such Investor Note(s) relating to the portion of the related Capital Commitment
Interest remaining Contingent and to be repurchased plus (y) all Capital Commitment Net Losses allocated to the Withdrawn Member on such Contingent portion of such Capital Commitment Interest, minus (z) all Capital Commitment Net Income
allocated to the Withdrawn Member on the Contingent portion of such Capital Commitment Interest; provided, that, if the Withdrawn Member was terminated from employment or his or her position as an officer for Cause, all 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 is negative, it shall be payable to the 

  
 68 













 
holders of the purchased Capital Commitment Interest by the Withdrawn Member (A) from the next Capital Commitment Net Income on the Non-Contingent
portion of the Withdrawn Member’s Capital Commitment Interests at the time such Capital Commitment Net Income is received by the Withdrawn Member, or (B) 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 or her related Investor Note shall be payable in full. 
 (iii) Upon such Member ceasing to be such an officer or
employee, all Investor Notes shall become fully recourse to the Withdrawn Member in his or her individual capacity (whether or not the Withdrawn Member or the Company or its designee(s) exercises the right to require repurchase of the Withdrawn
Member’s Contingent Capital Commitment Interests). 
 If neither the Withdrawn Member nor the Company nor its designee(s) exercises the right to
require repurchase of such Contingent Capital Commitment Interests, then the Withdrawn Member shall retain the Contingent portion of his or her Capital Commitment Interests and the Investor Notes shall remain outstanding, shall become fully recourse
to the Withdrawn Member in his or her 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 or her 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 and 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. 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 or her Capital Commitment Capital Accounts nor any part
thereof shall be subject to withdrawal or redemption without the consent of the Managing Member. The Managing 

  
 69 













 
Member 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. 
 (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) (and the purchase price for such Contingent Capital
Commitment Interests shall be determined in accordance with Section 8.1(b) (except that any Adjustment Amount shall be payable by or to such Member’s estate, personal representative or other Successor in Interest, in cash)) and any
Investor Notes financing such Contingent Capital Commitment Interests shall thereupon be prepaid as provided in Section 8.1(b). Upon such Member’s death or Total Disability, any Investor Note(s) financing such Contingent Capital Commitment
Interests shall become fully recourse. In addition, in the case of the death or Total Disability of a Member, if the estate, personal representative or other Successor in Interest of such Member so requests in writing within 180 days after 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 as of the most recent valuation prior to the date of purchase. Each Member shall be required to include appropriate provisions in his or her 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, personal representative or other Successor in Interest of such Member, within 30 days of the first date on which the Managing Member 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, personal representative or other Successor in Interest 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 or her 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 or her 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
(determined in good faith by the Managing Member as of the most recent valuation prior to the 

  
 70 













 
date of purchase). 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 Managing Member or its nominee, relating to such Securities. 

(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 Managing Member’s designee(s), Blackstone Holdings III L.P. 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 Inc. 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 otherwise provided in this Section 8.1 and except as such Members and the Managing Member shall otherwise agree; provided that such indebtedness shall
become fully recourse to the extent and at the time provided in this Section 8.1. If the indebtedness financing such repurchased interests is not to be non-recourse or 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 or her Investor
Note(s), be obligated to accept any obligation that is personally recourse (except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.1) unless his or her 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 or her
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. 

  
 71 













 (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 or her 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 (determined as of the most recent valuation prior to the date of the purchase of such Non-Contingent Capital
Commitment Interest); 
 (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 or her 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 or her estate. 

(i) The Managing Member 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 Managing Member will obtain the prior approval of a Withdrawn Member or his or her estate or guardian, as the case may be, prior to engaging such professionals. If the
Withdrawn Member (or his or her estate or guardian) declines to incur such costs, the Managing Member 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, consents, ratifications, 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 

  
 72 













 
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. 

Section 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, grant a security interest over, or otherwise dispose of or transfer (“Transfer”) all or part of any such Member’s Capital Commitment
Member Interest in the Company; provided, that this Section 8.2 shall in no way impair (i) Transfers 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) with the prior written consent of the Managing Member, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, Transfers by a Member to another Member of Non-Contingent
Capital Commitment Interests, (iii) Transfers with the prior written consent of the Managing Member (which consent may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion without giving any reason therefor) and (iv) with the prior written
consent of the Managing Member, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, Transfers of up to 25% of a Regular Member’s Capital Commitment Member Interest to an Estate Planning Vehicle (it being understood that it shall not be unreasonable for
the Managing Member to condition any Transfer of an Interest pursuant to this clause (iv) on the satisfaction of certain conditions and/or requirements imposed by the Managing Member in connection with any such Transfer, including, for example,
a requirement that any transferee of an Interest hold such Interest as a passive, non-voting interest in the Company). Each Estate Planning Vehicle shall not have voting rights (any such Member being called a
“Nonvoting Member”). Such Member shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations of both such Member and such Nonvoting Member with respect to the interest transferred (including the obligation to make additional Capital
Commitment-Related Capital Contributions). The Managing Member may at its sole option exercisable at any time require such Estate Planning Vehicle to Withdraw from the Company on the terms of Section 8.1 and Article VI. 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. 
 Section 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 U.S. federal, state and other applicable laws, including U.S. federal and state securities laws. 

ARTICLE IX 
 DISSOLUTION 

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

  
 73 













 (a) pursuant to Section 6.6; or 

(b) upon the expiration of the term of the Company. 

Section 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. 
 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). 

Section 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 or her 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 

  
 74 













 
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 

Section 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, as well as any and all disputes arising out of, relating to or in connection with the termination, liquidation or winding up of the Company), whether arising during the existence
of the Company or at or after its termination or during or after the liquidation or winding up of the Company, shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in New York, New York, U.S.A., 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 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 

  
 75 













 
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 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. 

Section 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 U.S.A., (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, which company (or its predecessors,
successors or assigns) has licensed the Company to use BLACKSTONE in its name. The Company acknowledges that TM owns the service mark BLACKSTONE for various services and that the Company is using the BLACKSTONE mark and name on a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and non-assignable basis in connection with its business and authorized activities with the permission of TM. 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 TM may terminate its 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. 

  
 76 













 Section 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. 

Section 10.4. Letter Agreements; Schedules. The Managing Member may, or may cause the Company to, enter or has previously entered
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 or SMD Agreement. 
 Section 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 conflicts of law. 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. 

Section 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 Article VI and Article 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 Section 5.8(d)(ii)(A) and Section 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. 

Section 10.7. Confidentiality. (a) 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


  
 77 













 
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 Regulations 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. 
 (b) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or impede any Member from communicating,
cooperating or filing a complaint on possible violations of U.S. federal, state or local law or regulation to or with any governmental agency or regulatory authority (collectively, a “Governmental Entity”), including, but not
limited to, the SEC, FINRA, EEOC or NLRB, or from making other disclosures to any Governmental Entity that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of U.S. federal, state or local law or regulation, provided that in each case such
communications and disclosures are consistent with applicable law. Each Member understands and acknowledges that (a) an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any U.S. federal or state trade secret law for the
disclosure of a trade secret that is made (i) in confidence to a U.S. federal, state, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (ii) in a complaint
or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal, and (b) an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to
the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.
Moreover, a Member shall not be required to give prior notice to (or get prior authorization from) Blackstone regarding any such communication or disclosure. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph or under applicable law, under no
circumstance is any Member authorized to disclose any information covered by Blackstone or its affiliates’ attorney-client privilege or attorney work product or Blackstone’s trade secrets without the prior written consent of Blackstone.

 Section 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 by hand delivery (including any courier service) or telecopy 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 or telecopy number of the Company in New York City. 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, the Managing Member or the Company specified as aforesaid. 

  
 78 













 Section 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. 
 Section 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. 
 Section 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 or her 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 or her 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. 

Section 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. 
 Section 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. 

  
 79 













 Section 10.14. Entire Agreement; Modifications. This Agreement embodies the
entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings, other than those expressly set forth or referred
to herein. Subject to Section 10.4, this Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter. Except as provided herein, this Agreement may be amended or modified at any time by
the General Partner in its sole discretion, upon notification thereof to the Limited Partners. 

  
 80 













 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement effective as of the day and
year first above written. In the event that it is impracticable to obtain the signature of any one or more of the Members to this Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding among the other Members executing the same.
