 SECTION 3.04. Officers. Subject to the direction of the General Partner, the day-to-day administration of the business of the Partnership may
be carried out by employees and agents of the General Partner, Ultimate Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries who may be designated as officers of the Partnership by the General Partner, Ultimate Parent or any of their respective
subsidiaries, with titles including but not limited to “chief executive officer,” “president,” “vice president,” “treasurer,” “assistant treasurer,” “secretary,” “assistant
secretary,” “general manager,” “senior managing director,” “managing director,” “general counsel,” “director” and “chief financial officer,” as and to the extent authorized by the

the Partnership may be suspended by the General Partner from time to time, in each case in the sole discretion of the General Partner. 
 SECTION 3.05. Authority of Partners. No Limited Partner, in its capacity as such, shall participate in or have any control over the business of the Partnership. Except as expressly provided herein, the Units do not confer any
rights upon the Limited Partners to participate in the conduct, control or management of the business of the Partnership described in this Agreement, which conduct, control and management shall be vested exclusively in the General Partner. In all
matters relating to or arising out of the conduct of the operation of the Partnership, the decision of the General Partner shall be the decision of the Partnership. Except as required or permitted by Law, or expressly provided in a separate

other Partner. 
 SECTION 3.06. Action by Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Partners pursuant

 ARTICLE IV 
 DISTRIBUTIONS AND LOANS 
 SECTION
4.01. Distributions and Loans. (a) The General Partner, in its discretion, may authorize distributions by the Partnership to the Partners holding Common Units, which distributions shall be made pro rata in accordance with
such Partners’ respective Percentage Interests at the record date for such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the General Partner, in its discretion, may authorize cash distributions by the Partnership to the Ultimate Parent
(which distributions shall be made without pro rata distributions to other Partners) be made in amounts required for Ultimate Parent to pay (A) consideration, if any, for redemption, repurchase, acquisition, cancellation or termination of
Class A Common Stock or Class C Common Stock in accordance with Section 7.04 hereof; and (B) (i) overhead, legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses, including any judgments, settlements, penalties, fines or
other costs and expenses in respect of any claims against, or any litigation or proceedings involving, the Ultimate Parent or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, (ii) fees and expenses related to any securities offering, investment or
acquisition (whether or not successful) authorized by the Board of Directors of the Ultimate Parent and (iii) other fees and expenses in connection with the maintenance of existence of the Ultimate Parent and any of its direct and indirect
subsidiaries other than the Partnership and its subsidiaries (including, but not limited to, any costs or expenses associated with being a public company listed on a national securities exchange); provided, however, that the amount of
any such distributions shall be reduced, to the extent practicable, by the amount of unused cash remaining from the prior distributions by the Partnership to the Ultimate Parent, including any interest earned thereon. Partners holding Units other
than Common Units shall be entitled to such distributions as provided in the instruments governing the issuance of such Units, which terms shall be determined by the General Partner in accordance with Section 7.06. Subject to the last two
sentences of this Section 4.01(a), the General Partner, in its discretion, may cause the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries to make loans to the Ultimate Parent or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries for any bona fide business
purposes; provided, however, that if any loan to the Ultimate Parent or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries other than the Partnership and its subsidiaries is cancelled or is not repaid within 90 days from the date of such loan,
such loan shall be deemed to constitute a distribution to the Ultimate Parent and its direct and indirect subsidiaries pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 4.01(a) and the Partnership shall be required to make pro rata
distributions to all other Partners holding Common Units in accordance with such Partners’ respective Percentage Interests on the date of such loan. If the proceeds of any loan described in the preceding sentence are used to make payments or
distributions other than as described in the second sentence of this Section 4.01(a) and such loan is outstanding as of the date 

  

 11 








 
that a Partner (other than the Ultimate Parent or its direct or indirect subsidiaries) exchanges any Units pursuant to Section 7.08, such loan shall be
deemed to constitute a distribution to the Ultimate Parent and its direct and indirect subsidiaries pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 4.01(a) and the Partnership shall be required to make pro rata distributions to all other
Limited Partners in accordance with such Partners’ respective Percentage Interests as of the date of such loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall not be permitted to cause the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries to
make any loan to the Ultimate Parent or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries if, at any time from the time that such loan is made through and including the time that any corresponding pro rata distribution to other Partners pursuant to
the immediately preceding two sentences is or may become required to be made, the making of any such corresponding pro rata distribution is or would be prohibited. From and after the date of any loan permitted by, and made in accordance with,
the immediately preceding three sentences, if any loan to the Ultimate Parent or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries remains outstanding, the Ultimate Parent and the General Partner agree not to enter into any contractual or other arrangement
or otherwise take any action, or cause the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries to do any of the foregoing, that would cause the Partnership not to be permitted or able to make any pro rata distribution to any Partner in accordance with
this Section 4.01(a). 
 (b) Tax Distributions. To the extent of available cash (as determined by the General Partner), at the
election of the General Partner in its sole discretion the Partnership may make cash distributions (“Tax Distributions”) to each Partner holding Common Units at such times during the calendar year as shall enable such Partners to
use such Tax Distributions to satisfy their estimated and final income tax liabilities for each taxable year. To the extent any such Tax Distribution is made, such Partners the income of which is included in the consolidated group of which the
Ultimate Parent is a member may receive, in the aggregate, Tax Distributions in an amount up to the product of (i) the amount of taxable income allocated to such Partners in respect of their Common Units in such taxable year times (ii) the
Assumed Tax Rate, and each other Partner holding Common Units shall receive a Tax Distribution which shall be proportionate to the distribution made to such Partners, based upon relative Percentage Interests at the record date of the distribution.

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

 12 








 ARTICLE V 
 CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS; 
 TAX ALLOCATIONS; TAX MATTERS 
 SECTION 5.01. Initial Capital Contributions. The Partners have made or are deemed to have made, on or prior to the date hereof, Capital
Contributions and have acquired the number of Units as specified opposite their respective names on Schedule I. 
 SECTION 5.02. No
Additional Capital Contributions; Additional Funds. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Article V or Article VII, no Limited Partner shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership without the consent of
such Limited Partner or permitted to make additional capital contributions to the Partnership without the consent of the General Partner. 
 (b) The General Partner may, at any time and from time to time, determine that the Partnership requires additional funds (“Additional Funds”) for such purposes relating to the Partnership’s business as the General
Partner may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Additional Funds may be obtained by the Partnership, at the election of the General Partner, in any manner provided in, and in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement without the
approval of any Limited Partners. 
 (c) The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may obtain any Additional Funds by causing the
Partnership, or arranging for any of the direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Ultimate Parent other than the Partnership, to incur indebtedness to any Person, in each case upon such terms as the General Partner determines are appropriate,
including making such indebtedness convertible, redeemable or exchangeable for Units; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not incur any such indebtedness if (i) a breach, violation or default of such indebtedness would be
deemed to occur by virtue of the Transfer of any partnership interest, (ii) such indebtedness is recourse to any Partner (unless the Partner otherwise agrees) or (iii) with respect to any Partnership borrowing in place as of the date
hereof or any subsequent refinancing or replacement thereof (but not in excess of such amounts as are in place as of the date hereof), any Partner or related person would be permitted to guarantee a Partnership borrowing or otherwise bear the
“economic risk of loss” that would result in an allocation of such borrowing to such Partner under the principles of Section 752 of the Code. The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may obtain any Additional Funds by
causing the Partnership to incur indebtedness to the Ultimate Parent or any of its subsidiaries if such indebtedness is, to the extent permitted by law, on substantially the same terms and conditions (including interest rate, repayment schedule, and
conversion, redemption, repurchase and exchange rights, but not including financial covenants) as indebtedness incurred by the Ultimate Parent or any of its subsidiaries, the net proceeds of which are loaned to the Partnership to provide such
Additional Funds; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not use the proceeds of any such indebtedness to pay, directly or indirectly, any principal amount or otherwise repay or refinance any indebtedness of the Partnership
outstanding on the date hereof. Except as provided in the penultimate sentence in Section 4.01(a), none of the Ultimate Parent or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries other than the Partnership and its subsidiaries shall incur any
indebtedness unless the net proceeds of such indebtedness are loaned to the Partnership or its subsidiaries on substantially the same terms and conditions (other than financial covenants) as the underlying indebtedness. 
  

 13 








 SECTION 5.03. Capital Accounts. There has been established for each Partner on the books of
the Partnership, a capital account (each being a “Capital Account”). The Capital Account of each Partner shall be credited with Capital Contributions made (or deemed to have been made) by such Partner, all Profits allocated to such
Partner pursuant to Section 5.04 and any items of income or gain which are specially allocated pursuant to Section 5.05 and 5.06; and shall be debited with all Losses allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.04, any items of
loss or deduction of the Partnership specially allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.05 and 5.06, and all cash and the Carrying Value of any property (net of liabilities assumed by such Partner and the liabilities to which such
property is subject) distributed by the Partnership to such Partner. Any references in any section of this Agreement to the Capital Account of a Partner shall be deemed to refer to such Capital Account as the same may be credited or debited from
time to time as set forth above. In the event of any transfer of any interest in the Partnership in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the
transferred interest. 
 SECTION 5.04. Allocations of Profits and Losses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
Profits, Losses and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss or deduction shall be allocated in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Partner, immediately after making such allocation is, as nearly as possible, equal
(proportionately) to (i) the distributions that would be made pursuant to Section 4.01(a) and Article IX if the Partnership were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Carrying Values, all Partnership
liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each non-recourse liability to the Carrying Value of the assets securing such liability), including the Partnership’s share of any liabilities of an entity treated as a partnership for U.S.
federal income tax purposes of which the Partnership is a partner and the net assets of the Partnership were distributed in accordance with Section 4.01(a) and Article IX to the Partners immediately after making such allocation, minus
(ii) such Partner’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets. 
 SECTION 5.05. Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order: 
 (a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in “partnership minimum gain” (as that term is defined in Sections 1.704-2(b)(2) and 1.704-2(d) of the Regulations) during any Fiscal Year,
each Partner shall, to the extent required by Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations, be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, to the extent required by Section 1.704-2(j)(2)(iii) of the
Regulations, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to that Partner’s share of the net decrease in partnership minimum gain. Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in accordance with Section 1.704-2(f)(6) of the
Regulations. This Section 5.05(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 
 (b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” (as that term is defined in
Sections 1.704-2(i)(2) and (3) of the 

  

 14 








 
Regulations) during any Fiscal Year, each Partner who has a share of that partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain as of the beginning of the Fiscal Year shall,
to the extent required by Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations, be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) equal to that Partner’s share of the net
decrease in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain. Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations. This Section 5.05(b) is intended to comply with the requirement in
Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 
 (c) Nonrecourse Deductions.
“Nonrecourse deductions” (as that term is defined in Sections 1.704-2(b)(1) and (c) of the Regulations) for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

 (d) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. “Partner nonrecourse deductions” (as that term is defined in Section 1.704-2(i)
of the Regulations) for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the “partner nonrecourse debt” (as that term is defined in Section 1.704-2(b)(4)
of the Regulations) to which such partner nonrecourse deductions are attributable, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1). 
 (e) Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the
adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations.

 (f) Matching Allocations. If the Ultimate Parent or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries receives a distribution pursuant to
clause (B) of the second sentence of Section 4.01 (a) during any Fiscal Year, the Ultimate Parent or such subsidiary shall be specially allocated items of gross income for such Fiscal Year (and subsequent Fiscal Years, if necessary)
in an amount equal to such distribution. 
 SECTION 5.06. Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 5.05
(the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations that are made be offset either with other
Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations pursuant to this Section 5.06. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting special
allocations in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if
the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to Section 5.04. In exercising its discretion under this Section 5.06, the General Partner shall take into account future
Regulatory Allocations under Sections 5.05(a) and 5.05(b) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Sections 5.05(c) and 5.05(d). 
  

 15 








 SECTION 5.07. Other Allocation Rules. 
 (a) The Partnership shall “close its books” on the date that Sprint Ventures Inc. and the former members of VMU LLC conveyed units in VMU LLC to
Virgin Mobile USA, Inc., and shall allocate Profits, Losses, or other items allocable to the portion of 2007 ending on such date to the Persons that were members of VMU LLC during such portion of 2007 in accordance with the LLC Agreement.
Thereafter, for purposes of determining the Profits, Losses, or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the General Partner using
any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder. 
 (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all
items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, and any other allocations not otherwise provided for shall be divided among the Partners in the same proportions as they share Profits or Losses, as the case may be, for the Fiscal Year.

 (c) For purposes of determining the Partners’ shares of “nonrecourse liabilities” (as that term is defined in
Section 1.752-1(a)(2) of the Regulations), any “excess nonrecourse liabilities” (as that term is defined in Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Regulations) shall first be allocated in accordance with the excess “built-in
gain” that is allocable to the Partners under Code Section 704(c) (or under principles similar to Code Section 704(c) in connection with a revaluation of Partnership property), as described in Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the
Regulations. Any remaining excess nonrecourse liabilities shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests. 
 SECTION 5.08. Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c). In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of
the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Carrying Value.

 In the event the Carrying Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) of the definition of
Carrying Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Carrying Value in the same
manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder using the “traditional method”. 
 Any elections or other
decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the General Partner. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.08 are solely for purposes of U.S. federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in
computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. 
  

 16 








 SECTION 5.09. Tax Withholding. 
 (a) The Partnership shall withhold and/or pay over to the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable taxing authority all taxes or withholdings, and all
interest, penalties, additions to tax, and similar liabilities in connection therewith or attributable thereto (hereinafter “Withheld Taxes”) to the extent that the Tax Matters Partner in good faith determines that such withholding
and/or payment is required by the Code or any other law, rule, or regulation. The Tax Matters Partner in good faith shall determine to which Partner such Withheld Taxes are attributable. For example, Withheld Taxes measured with respect to a
Partner’s distributive share of the Partnership’s income, gain, or other Partnership item would be attributable to such Partner. All Withheld Taxes withheld and/or paid over that are attributable to a Partner shall, at the option of the
Tax Matters Partner, (i) be promptly paid to the Partnership by the Partner on whose behalf such advances of Withheld Taxes were made or (ii) be considered a loan (a “Withholding Loan”) by the Partnership to such Partner.
Whenever the Tax Matters Partner selects the option set forth in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the borrowing Partner shall repay such Withholding Loan within ten (10) days after the Tax Matters Partner delivers a
written demand therefor, together with interest from the date such loan was made until the date of the repayment thereof at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) plus the prime interest rate of Chase Manhattan Bank (or its successor) in
effect during such period (or, if less, the maximum interest rate allowed under applicable law). In addition to any other rights of the Partnership to enforce its right to receive payment of the Withholding Loan, plus any accrued interest thereon,
the Partnership may deduct from any distribution to be made to a borrowing Partner or any amount available for distribution to a borrowing Partner an amount not greater than the outstanding balance of any Withholding Loan, plus any accrued interest
thereon, as a payment in total or partial satisfaction thereof. In the event that the Partnership deducts the amount of the Withholding Loan plus any accrued interest thereon from any actual distribution or amount otherwise available to be
distributed, the amount that was so deducted shall be treated as an actual distribution to the borrowing Partner for all purposes of this Agreement. With respect to any amounts not offset pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the maturity
of such Withholding Loan shall be the dissolution of the Partnership. 
 (b) If any amount payable to the Partnership is reduced because the
Person paying that amount withholds and/or pays over to the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable taxing authority any amount as a result of the status of a Partner, the Tax Matters Partner shall make such adjustments to amounts distributed
and allocated among Partners as it determines to be fair and equitable. For example, if a portion of interest income earned by the Partnership is withheld by the payor and paid over to the Internal Revenue Service because a particular Partner is a
non-U.S. Person, the Tax Matters Partner shall include such withheld and paid over amount in computing amounts available for distribution to the Partners pursuant to Section 4.01(a) and treat such withheld and paid over amount as if that amount
were distributed to the Partner in satisfaction of whose tax liability such amount was withheld and paid over. 
 SECTION
5.10. Successors in Interest. If a Partner Transfers all or part of its Units, references in this Article V to amounts previously contributed by such Partner or to amounts previously allocated or distributed to such Partner shall refer
to the transferee to the extent they pertain to the transferred interest. 
 SECTION 5.11. Tax Matters. The General Partner shall
be the initial “tax matters partner” within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (the “Tax Matters Partner”). The Tax Matters Partner shall take reasonable action to cause each other Partner to be treated as
a 

  

 17 








 
“notice partner” within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(8) of the Code. All reasonable expenses incurred by a Partner while acting in its
capacity as Tax Matters Partner shall be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership. 
 Each Partner shall be given at least five
(5) business days advance notice from the Tax Matters Partner of the time and place of, and shall have the right to participate in (i) any material aspect of any administrative proceeding relating to the determination of partnership items
at the Partnership level and (ii) any material discussions with the Internal Revenue Service relating to allocations pursuant to Article V of this Agreement. 
 The Tax Matters Partner shall not initiate any action or proceeding in any court, extend any statute of limitations, or take any other action contemplated by Sections 6222 through 6234 of the Code that would legally
bind any other Partner or the Partnership without approval of the Partners, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that, for this purpose, it shall not be unreasonable for a Partner to withhold such
approval if the action proposed to be taken could affect adversely such Partner. The Tax Matters Partner shall cause the Partnership’s tax attorneys and accountants to confer with such other Partner and its attorneys and accountants on any
matters relating to Partnership tax return or any tax election. 
 (b) The Tax Matters Partner shall timely cause to be prepared all U.S.
federal, state, local and foreign tax returns and reports (including amended returns) of the Partnership for each year or period that such returns or reports are required to be filed and, subject to the remainder of this subsection, shall cause such
tax returns to be timely filed. No later than 30 days prior to filing of all income and franchise tax returns of the Partnership, the Tax Matters Partner shall have provided copies of all such tax returns to the other Partners for review. With
respect to any income or franchise tax return of the Partnership, the other Partners shall be entitled to provide reasonable comments on such tax returns to the Tax Matters Partner no later than 15 days after receiving copies of such tax returns,
and the Tax Matters Partner shall incorporate such comments, where reasonable, prior to filing such returns. The other Partners agree to assist the Tax Matters Partner in preparing all income and franchise tax returns of the Partnership so as to
ensure that all such returns are filed on a timely basis and no filing penalties are incurred to the extent reasonably possible. 
 (c)
Within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, or as soon as reasonably practical thereafter, the Tax Matters Partner shall prepare and send, or cause to be prepared and sent, to each Person who was a Partner at any time during such Fiscal Year
copies of such information as may be required for U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income tax reporting purposes, including copies of Form 1065 and Schedule K-1 or any successor form or schedule, for such Person. At any time after such
information has been provided, upon at least five (5) business days’ notice from a Partner, the Tax Matters Partner shall also provide each Partner with a reasonable opportunity during ordinary business hours to review and make copies of
all workpapers related to such information or to any return prepared under paragraph (b) above. As soon as practicable following the end of each quarter (and in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the end of such quarter), the
Tax Matters Partner shall also cause to be provided to each Partner an estimate of each Partner’s share of all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Partnership for the quarter just completed and for the Fiscal Year to date
for federal income tax purposes. 
  

 18 








 SECTION 5.12. Tax Classification. The Tax Matters Partner shall take such action as may be
required under the Code and applicable Regulations to cause the Partnership to be taxable as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent the previous sentence does not govern the state and local classification of the
Partnership, the Tax Matters Partner shall take such action as may be required under any state or local law applicable to the Partnership to cause the Partnership to be taxable as, and in a manner consistent with, a partnership for state or local
income tax purposes. No Partner shall take any action inconsistent with such treatment for U.S. federal, state and local tax purposes. 
 SECTION 5.13. Tax Elections. The Tax Matters Partner shall elect, pursuant to Section 754 of the Code, to adjust the basis of the Partnership’s property, with respect to its federal income tax return for the taxable
year in which the IPO occurs. Except as otherwise provided herein, all other elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership under the Code (or applicable foreign, state or local law) shall be made as may be determined by the General
Partner to be in the best interest of the Partners as a group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Partnership will not otherwise qualify as a partnership under Section 6231(a)(l) of the Code which is subject to the TEFRA partnership audit
rules, the Tax Matters Partner shall cause the Partnership to make an election under Section 6231(a)(1)(B)(ii) of the Code to subject the Partnership to the TEFRA partnership audit rules. 
 SECTION 5.14. Continuation of VMU LLC. Solely for all applicable tax purposes, and for purposes of the maintenance of Capital Accounts and
the allocation of Profits and Losses, including without limitation any special allocations, under this Article V, the Partnership is a continuation of VMU LLC and the Partnership Agreement is a continuation of the LLC Agreement. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 BOOKS AND RECORDS; REPORTS

 SECTION 6.01. Books and Records. At all times during the continuance of the Partnership, the Partnership shall prepare and
maintain separate books of account for the Partnership in accordance with GAAP. The Partnership shall keep at its principal office the following: 
 (a) a current list of the full name and the last known street address of each Partner; 
 (b)
a copy of the Conversion Certificate, the Certificate and this Agreement and all amendments thereto; 
 (c) copies of the
Partnership’s federal, state and local income tax returns and reports, if any, for the three most recent years; and

 SECTION 7.01. Units. Partnership interests in the Partnership shall be
represented by one or more classes of Units. 
 SECTION 7.02. Register. The register of the Partnership shall be the definitive
record of ownership of each Unit and all relevant information with respect to each Partner. Unless the General Partner shall determine otherwise, Units shall be uncertificated and recorded in the books and records of the Partnership. 
 SECTION 7.03. Splits, Distributions and Reclassifications. The Partnership shall not in any manner subdivide (by any Unit split, Unit
distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combine (by reverse Unit split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) any class or series of the outstanding Units unless an identical event is occurring with respect to
the corresponding class or series of Securities (including, but not limited to, Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock), in which event, the General Partner shall cause such class or series of Units to be subdivided or combined
concurrently with and in the same manner as the corresponding class or series of Securities. 
 SECTION 7.04. Cancellation of
Securities and Units. At any time a share of Class A Common Stock or Class C Common Stock is redeemed, repurchased, acquired, cancelled or terminated by or on behalf of the Ultimate Parent (other than in connection with a conversion of
shares of Class C Common Stock into Class A Common Stock), one (1) Common Unit registered in the name of the Ultimate Parent or, at the election of the General Partner in its sole discretion, any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries
(including the General Partner), will be redeemed, repurchased, acquired, cancelled or terminated by the Partnership for the same consideration, if any, as the consideration paid by or on behalf of the Ultimate Parent so that the number of Common
Units held by the Ultimate Parent and any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries (including the General Partner) at all times equals the sum of (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and (B) the number of shares
of Class C Common Stock outstanding. At any time any other Securities are redeemed, repurchased, acquired, cancelled or terminated by or on behalf of the applicable Securities Issuer, the General Partner shall cause the same number of corresponding
Units in the name of the applicable Securities Issuer to be redeemed, repurchased, acquired, cancelled or terminated by the Partnership for the same consideration, if any, as the consideration paid by or on behalf of the applicable Securities Issuer
so that the number of Units of such class held by such Securities Issuer at all times equals the number of such Securities outstanding. The General Partner shall revise the register to reflect any such redemption, repurchase, acquisition,
cancellation or termination. 
 SECTION 7.05. Incentive Plans. At any time the Ultimate Parent issues a share of Class A
Common Stock pursuant to an Incentive Plan (whether pursuant to the exercise of a stock option or the grant of a restricted share award or otherwise), the following shall occur: (a) the Ultimate Parent shall be deemed to contribute to the
capital of the Partnership an amount of cash equal to the current per share market price of a share of Class A Common Stock on the date such share is issued (or, if earlier, the date the related option is exercised) and the Capital Account of
the 

  

 20 








 
Ultimate Parent shall be adjusted accordingly; (b) the Partnership shall be deemed to purchase from the Ultimate Parent a share of Class A Common
Stock for an amount of cash equal to the amount of cash deemed contributed by the Ultimate Parent to the Partnership in clause (a) above and such share is deemed delivered to its owner under the Incentive Plan, the parties acknowledging that
such deemed purchase shall not cause the Partnership to own such shares for any purpose, including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to receive dividends or vote; (c) the net proceeds (including the
amount of any payments made on a loan with respect to a stock purchase award) received by the Ultimate Parent with respect to such share, if any, shall be concurrently transferred and paid to the Partnership (and such net proceeds so transferred
shall not constitute an additional Capital Contribution); and (d) the Partnership shall issue to the Ultimate Parent one (1) Unit registered in the name of the Ultimate Parent. The Partnership shall retain any net proceeds that are paid to
the Partnership. 
 SECTION 7.06. Issuances of Securities. 
 (a) Except as provided in Section 7.06(b) below, at any time the Ultimate Parent or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries other than the
Partnership and its subsidiaries (such entity, the “Securities Issuer”) issues any shares of capital stock or other equity interests, or any rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities having the right to
convert into, exchange for, subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock or other equity interests (collectively, “Securities”), other than in connection with a conversion of shares of Class C Common Stock into Class A
Common Stock pursuant to, and in accordance with, Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Partnership shall issue to such Securities Issuer (x) in the case of an issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class C Common
Stock, an equal number of Common Units, registered in the name of such Securities Issuer, or (y) in the case of an issuance of any other Securities, an equal number of Units with designations, preferences and other rights, terms and conditions
(other than financial covenants applicable to such Securities Issuer, its subsidiaries or direct or indirect parent entities) that are substantially the same as the designations, preferences and other rights, terms and conditions of such other
Securities, registered in the name of such Securities Issuer. The net proceeds, if any, whether in cash or other property, received by the Securities Issuer with respect to the issuance of Securities shall be transferred to the Partnership.

 (b) If the Securities Issuer does not receive any net proceeds from the issuance of such Securities (including an issuance by the Ultimate
Parent of Securities to Corvina Holdings Limited (or its successors, assignees or affiliates) pursuant to that certain Tax Receivable Agreement between Corvina Holdings Limited and the Ultimate Parent (the “Virgin Tax Receivable
Agreement”), but excluding any transactions described in Section 7.03, Section 7.05 or 7.08), (i) the Partnership shall issue an equal number of Units with designations, preferences and other rights, terms and conditions
(other than financial covenants applicable to such Securities Issuer, its subsidiaries or direct or indirect parent entities) that are substantially the same as the designations, preferences and other rights, terms and conditions of such Securities,
registered in the name of such Securities Issuer and (ii) the Partnership shall make a corresponding pro rata issuance to all other Partners (other than the Ultimate Parent and its direct or indirect subsidiaries) in accordance with
their Percentage Interests (as determined immediately prior to the transactions described in this Section 7.06(b)) of Units with designations, preferences and other rights, terms and conditions (other than financial covenants applicable to such
Securities Issuer, its subsidiaries 

  

 21 








 
or direct or indirect parent entities) that are substantially the same as the designations, preferences and other rights, terms and conditions of such
Securities; provided that no pro rata issuance contemplated by this clause (ii) shall be required in respect of any transactions approved by the board of directors of the Ultimate Parent where such Securities are issued in
satisfaction of bona fide obligations of the Partnership to third parties (it being understood that this proviso shall not apply to any issuance by the Ultimate Parent of Securities to Corvina Holdings Limited (or its successors, assignees or
affiliates) pursuant to the Virgin Tax Receivable Agreement). 
 (c) The intent of this Section 7.06 and Sections 7.03, 7.04 and 7.05 is
to ensure that the number of Units held by the Ultimate Parent and any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries (including the General Partner) at all times equals the sum of (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding,
(B) the number of shares of Class C Common Stock outstanding and (C) the number of other Securities outstanding, and such provisions shall be interpreted consistently with such intent. 
 SECTION 7.07. Registered Partners. The Partnership shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a Person registered on its records
as the owner of Units for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in Units on the part of any other Person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise
provided by the Act. 
 SECTION 7.08. Exchange of Units. 
 (a) Subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 7.08, each holder of a Unit (other than the Ultimate Parent and its subsidiaries) shall be
entitled to exchange, at any time and from time to time, any or all of such holder’s Units, (i) in the case of Common Units, on a one-for-one basis, for the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock (the number of shares of
Class A Common Stock for which a Common Unit is entitled to be exchanged is referred to herein as the “Common Unit Exchange Rate”), (ii) in the case of Units, other than Common Units, issued pursuant to Section 7.03
or Section 7.06(b), on a one-for-one basis, into the same number of Securities with designations, preferences and other rights, terms and provisions that are substantially the same as the designations, preferences and other rights, terms and
provisions of Securities that originally triggered the issuance of such Units to such holder pursuant to Section 7.03 or Section 7.06(b) (the number of Securities for which a Unit is entitled to be exchanged pursuant to this clause (ii),
the “Unit Exchange Rate” and, together with Common Unit Exchange Rate, the “Exchange Rate”). Any exchange right pursuant to this Section 7.08(a) shall be exercised by a written notice to the Ultimate Parent
from the holder of such Units stating that such holder desires to exchange a stated number of Units pursuant to this Section 7.08(a), accompanied by instruments of transfer to the Ultimate Parent, in form satisfactory to the Ultimate Parent and
to the Ultimate Parent’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), duly executed by such holder or such holder’s duly authorized attorney, and transfer tax stamps or funds therefor, if required pursuant to
Section 7.08(e), in respect of the Units to be exchanged, in each case delivered during normal business hours at the principal executive offices of the Ultimate Parent or at the office of the Transfer Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
holder of a Unit shall be entitled to exchange such Unit if such exchange would be prohibited under applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations. 
  

 22 








 (b) As promptly as practicable following the surrender for exchange of Units in the manner provided in
this Section 7.08 and the payment in cash of any amount required by the provisions of Section 7.08(e), the Ultimate Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered, as the case may be (i) the cash, if any, to be paid to such holder
pursuant to Section 7.08(a) in accordance with delivery instructions provided by such holder or (ii) at the principal executive offices of the Ultimate Parent or at the office of the Transfer Agent the number of shares of Class A
Common Stock or other Securities issuable upon such exchange, issued in such name or names as such holder may direct. Upon the date any such Units are surrendered for exchange, all rights of the holder of such Units as a Partner of the Partnership
with respect to such Units shall cease, and the person or persons in whose name or names the shares of Class A Common Stock or other Securities are to be issued shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders of
such shares of Class A Common Stock or other Securities. 
 (c) The Exchange Rate shall be adjusted accordingly if there is:
(1) any subdivision (by any unit split, unit distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse unit split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of any class or series of Units that is not
accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the corresponding class or series of Securities; or (2) any subdivision (by any stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse
stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of any class or series of Securities that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the corresponding class or series of Units. In the event of a reclassification
or other similar transaction as a result of which one class or series of Securities is converted into another class or series of Security, then a holder of the corresponding class or series of Units shall be entitled to receive upon exchange the
amount of such security that such holder would have received if such exchange of Units had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of such reclassification or other similar transaction. Except as may be required in the immediately preceding
sentence, no adjustments in respect of dividends shall be made upon the exchange of any Unit; provided, however, that if a Unit shall be exchanged subsequent to the record date for the payment of a dividend or other distribution on Units but prior
to the date of such payment, then the registered holder of such Unit at the close of business on such record date shall be entitled to receive the dividend or other distribution payable on such Unit on such payment date notwithstanding the exchange
thereof or the default in payment of the dividend or distribution due on such payment date. 
 (d) Each Securities Issuer shall at all times
reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Securities, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exchange of Units, such number of Securities that shall be issuable upon the exchange of all such outstanding Units; provided, that
nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Securities Issuer from satisfying its obligations in respect of the exchange of the Units by delivery of purchased Securities which are held in the treasury of the Securities Issuer. Each
Securities Issuer covenants that if any Securities require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such Securities may be issued upon exchange, the Securities Issuer shall use its reasonable
best efforts to cause such shares to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be. The Ultimate Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to list the shares of Class A Common Stock required to be delivered upon exchange prior to such
delivery upon each national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the outstanding Class A Common Stock may be listed or traded at the time of such delivery. Each Securities Issuer covenants that all Securities that
shall be issued upon exchange of Units will, upon issue, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. 
  

 23 








 (e) The issuance of Securities upon exchange of Units shall be made without charge to the holders of such
Units for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance; provided, however, that if any such shares to be issued in a name other than that of the holder of the Units exchanged, then the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof
shall pay to the Ultimate Parent the amount of any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in such issuance or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Ultimate Parent that such tax has been paid or is not payable. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the General Partner shall have the right to require any holder of Units
(other than the Ultimate Parent and its subsidiaries) who, together with its Affiliates (other than the Ultimate Parent and its subsidiaries), has a Percentage Interest of one percent (1%) or less to exchange all (but not less than all) of such
holder’s Units into shares of Class A Common Stock (in the case of Common Units) or, if applicable, into Securities that originally triggered the issuance of such Units (in the case of Units other than Common Units) in accordance with this
Section 7.08. Such right can be exercised by the General Partner at any time by a written notice to such holder from the General Partner. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS 
 SECTION 8.01. Limited Partner Transfers. (a) Except as provided in Section 7.08 and in clause (b) of this Section 8.01 or in Section 8.02, no Limited Partner or Assignee thereof
may Transfer all or any portion of its Units (or beneficial interest therein) without the prior written consent of the General Partner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld but may be made subject to such conditions (including, without
limitation, the receipt of such legal opinions and other documents that the General Partner may require) as are reasonably determined by the General Partner to be necessary or appropriate. Any purported Transfer of Units that is not in accordance
with, or subsequently violates, this Agreement shall be null and void. 
 (b) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, each Limited Partner
(and each Permitted Transferee of such Limited Partner) may exchange all or a portion of Units owned by such Limited Partner or such Permitted Transferee in accordance with Section 7.08 of this Agreement and Article V of the Certificate of
Incorporation or, if the General Partner and the exchanging Limited Partner or Permitted Transferee shall mutually agree, Transfer such Units to the Ultimate Parent or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries (including the General Partner and the
Partnership) for other consideration (in each case, an “Exchange Transaction”) at any time following the consummation of the IPO. 
 SECTION 8.02. Permitted Transferees. Notwithstanding clause (a) of Section 8.01 and subject to Section 8.07, upon 30 days prior written notice to the General Partner and subject to the policies and procedures that
the General Partner may promulgate from time to time in its sole discretion, each Limited Partner may Transfer all or a portion of the Units owned by such Limited Partner to any of its Affiliates (any such entity, in relation to such Limited
Partner, being referred to 

  

 24 








 
herein as such Limited Partner’s “Permitted Transferee”). Any Units Transferred by a Limited Partner to a Permitted Transferee of such
Limited Partner pursuant to the preceding sentence shall remain subject to the same restrictions on Transfer to which such Units would be subject if such Units had not been so Transferred. Before any Permitted Transferee ceases to be a Permitted
Transferee of the relevant Limited Partner, it shall transfer full legal and beneficial ownership of such Units to the relevant Limited Partner or, subject to this Article 8, another Permitted Transferee of the relevant Limited Partner. Furthermore,
before any transfer of Units by any Limited Partner (or any Permitted Transferee of any Limited Partner), the proposed transferee of such Units must enter into a written acknowledgement and agreement with the General Partner and the Partnership that
such transferee will receive such Units subject to, and such transferee will be bound by, the provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to, the transfer restrictions set forth in this Article 8. 
 SECTION 8.03. Further Restrictions. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, in no event may any Transfer of a Unit be made
by any Limited Partner or Assignee if: 
 (a) such Transfer is made to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity
to own such Unit; 
 (b) such Transfer would require the registration of such transferred Unit or of any class or series of
Unit pursuant to any applicable United States federal or state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) or other foreign securities laws or would constitute a non-exempt distribution pursuant to
applicable state securities laws; 
 (c) such Transfer would cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute
assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to the regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor at Section 2510.3-101 of Part 2510 of Chapter XXV, Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor regulations; 
 (d) such Transfer would cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to become “plan assets” of any benefit plan investor
within the meaning of regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor at Section 2510.3-101 of Part 2510 of Chapter XXV, Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor regulations, or to be regulated under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time; or 
 (e) to the extent requested by the General
Partner, the Partnership does not receive such legal and/or tax opinions and written instruments (including, without limitation, copies of any instruments of Transfer and such Assignee’s consent to be bound by this Agreement as an Assignee)
that are in a form reasonably satisfactory to the General Partner. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Partner or
its Affiliates shall Transfer any or all of its Units, or take any other action, if such Transfer or action could (by itself or in conjunction with other actions) result in the Partnership being treated as a “publicly 

  

 25 








 
traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder; and provided further that, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any such Transfer or action shall be null and void, ab initio. 
 SECTION 8.04. Rights of
Assignees. Subject to Section 8.03, the transferee of any permitted Transfer pursuant to this Article VIII (other than a Transfer in a Permitted Exchange) will be an assignee only (“Assignee”), and only will receive, to the
extent transferred, the distributions and allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit or similar item to which the Limited Partner which transferred its Units would be entitled, and such Assignee will not be entitled or enabled to exercise
any other rights or powers of a Limited Partner, such other rights, and all obligations relating to, or in connection with, such Interest remaining with the transferring Limited Partner. The transferring Limited Partner will remain a Limited Partner
even if it has transferred all of its Units to one or more Assignees until such time as the Assignee(s) is admitted to the Partnership as a Partner pursuant to Section 8.06. 
 SECTION 8.05. Admissions, Withdrawals and Removals. No Person may be admitted to the Partnership as an additional General Partner or
substitute General Partner without the prior written consent or ratification of the General Partner. No Limited Partner will be removed or entitled to withdraw from being a Partner of the Partnership except in accordance with Section 7.08,
8.06 or Section 8.07. A Person may be admitted as a Limited Partner upon its execution of a supplement to this Agreement as described in Section 2.08. A General Partner will not be entitled to Transfer all of its Units or to withdraw from
being a General Partner of the Partnership unless an additional General Partner shall have been admitted hereunder (and not have previously been removed or withdrawn), which such additional General Partner may be deemed admitted effective
immediately prior to the Transfer, and is hereby authorized to, and shall, continue the Partnership without dissolution. Except as otherwise provided in Article IX, no admission, substitution, withdrawal or removal of a Partner will cause the
dissolution of the Partnership. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any purported admission, withdrawal or removal that is not in accordance with this Agreement shall be null and void. 
 SECTION 8.06. Admission of Assignees as Substitute Limited Partners. An Assignee will become a substitute Limited Partner only if and when
each of the following conditions is satisfied: 
 (a) the General Partner consents in writing to such admission, which consent
may be given or withheld, or made subject to such conditions as are determined by the General Partner, in each case in the General Partner’s sole discretion; 
 (b) if required by the General Partner, the General Partner receives written instruments (including, without limitation, copies of any
instruments of Transfer and such Assignee’s consent to be bound by this Agreement as a substitute Limited Partner) that are in a form satisfactory to the General Partner (as determined in its sole discretion); 
 (c) if required by the General Partner, the General Partner receives an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the General Partner to the
effect that such Transfer is in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable laws; and 
  

 26 








 (d) if required by the General Partner, the parties to the Transfer, or any one of them,
pays all of the Partnership’s reasonable expenses connected with such Transfer (including, but not limited to, the reasonable legal and accounting fees of the Partnership). 
 SECTION 8.07. Withdrawal of Certain Partners. If a Partner ceases to hold any Units, then such Partner shall cease to be a Partner and to
have the power to exercise any rights or powers of a Partner in accordance with Section 7.08 or when all of such Partner’s Assignees have been admitted as Partners in accordance with Section 8.02 or Section 8.06. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND
TERMINATION 
 SECTION 9.01. No Dissolution. The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of additional Partners in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Partnership may be dissolved, liquidated and terminated only pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX, and the Partners hereby irrevocably waive to the fullest extent permitted by law any and all
other rights they may have to cause a dissolution of the Partnership or a sale or partition of any or all of the Partnership assets. 
 SECTION 9.02. Events Causing Dissolution. The Partnership shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each, a “Dissolution Event”): 
 (a) the expiration of the term of the Partnership as provided in Section 2.03; 
 (b) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 17-802 of the Act; 
 (c) at any time there are no limited partners of the Partnership unless the Partnership is continued in accordance with the Act; or

 (d) the Incapacity or removal of the General Partner or the occurrence of a Disabling Event with respect to the General
Partner; provided, that the Partnership will not be dissolved or required to be wound up in connection with any of the events specified in this Section 9.02(d) if: (i) at the time of the occurrence of such event there is at least
one other general partner of the Partnership who is hereby authorized to, and elects to, carry on the business of the Partnership; or (ii) all remaining Limited Partners consent to or ratify the continuation of the business of the Partnership
and the appointment of another general partner of the Partnership within 90 days following the occurrence of any such Incapacity or removal effective as of the occurrence of such event, which consent shall be deemed (and if requested each Limited
Partner shall provide a written consent for ratification) to have been given for all Limited Partners if the holders of more than two-thirds of the Units then outstanding agree in writing to so continue the business of the Partnership. 

SECTION 9.03. Distribution upon Dissolution. Upon dissolution, the Partnership shall not be terminated and shall continue until the
winding up of the affairs of the Partnership is completed. Upon the winding up of the Partnership, the General Partner, or any other Person designated by the General Partner (the “Liquidation Agent”), shall take full account of the
assets 

  

 27 








 
and liabilities of the Partnership and shall, unless the General Partner determines otherwise, liquidate the assets of the Partnership as promptly as is
consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof. The proceeds of any liquidation shall be applied and distributed in the following order: 
 (a) First, to the satisfaction of debts and liabilities of the Partnership (including satisfaction of all indebtedness to Partners and/or their Affiliates to the extent otherwise permitted by law) including the
expenses of liquidation (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof); 
 (b) Second, the
balance, if any, to the Partners in accordance with Section 4.01(a). 
 SECTION 9.04. Time for Liquidation. A reasonable
amount of time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Partnership and the discharge of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Liquidation Agent to minimize the losses attendant upon such liquidation. 
 SECTION 9.05. Termination. The Partnership shall terminate when all of the assets of the Partnership, after payment of or due provision for
all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership, shall have been distributed to the holders of Units in the manner provided for in this Article IX, and the Certificate shall have been cancelled in the manner required by the Act.

 SECTION 9.06. Claims of the Partners. The Partners shall look solely to the Partnership’s assets for the return of their
Capital Contributions, and if the assets of the Partnership remaining after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership are insufficient to return such Capital Contributions, the Partners shall have no
recourse against the Partnership or any other Partner or any other Person. No Partner with a negative balance in such Partner’s Capital Account shall have any obligation to the Partnership or to the other Partners or to any creditor or other
Person to restore such negative balance during the existence of the Partnership, upon dissolution or termination of the Partnership or otherwise. 
 SECTION 9.07. Survival of Certain Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of Section 10.02 and Section 11.09 shall survive the termination of the Partnership. 

ARTICLE X 
 LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

 SECTION 10.01. Liability of Partners. 
 (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided by the Act, no Limited Partner shall be liable for any debt obligation or liability of the Partnership or of any other Partner or have any obligation to restore any
deficit balance in its Capital Account solely by reason of being a Partner of the Partnership. With respect to any Partnership borrowing in place as of the date hereof or any subsequent refinancing or replacement thereof (but not in excess of such
amounts as are in place as of the date hereof), no Partner or related person shall be permitted to guarantee a Partnership borrowing or otherwise bear the “economic risk of loss” that would result in an allocation of such 

  

 28 








 
borrowing to such Partner under the principles of Section 752 of the Code, provided, however that it is understood that the General Partner may
provide a guarantee with respect to such borrowing secured by a pledge of its assets, which will consist solely of its interest in the Partnership. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity, the parties hereby agree that each Partner (including the General Partner), shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law,
including Section 17-1101(d) of the Act, owe no fiduciary duties to the Partnership, the other Partners or any other Person bound by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Partners (including the General Partner) shall act in
accordance with the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Whenever in this Agreement a Partner is permitted or required to take any action or to make a decision, such Partner shall be entitled to take such action or make such
decision in its sole discretion, and such Partner shall be entitled to consider, and make its determination based upon, such interests and factors as it desires. No Partner shall have any liability to the Partnership or the other Partners except as
provided herein. 
 (c) The Partners (including without limitation, the General Partner) acting under this Agreement will not be liable to
the Partnership or to any other Partner for breach of fiduciary duty for their good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they expand or restrict or eliminate the duties and
liabilities of any Partner (including without limitation, the General Partner) otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to modify to that extent such other duties and liabilities of the Partners (including without
limitation, the General Partner). 
 (d) The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants and financial or other advisors and
any act or omission suffered or taken by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or in furtherance of the interests of the Partnership in good faith in reliance upon and in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or
financial or other advisors will be full justification for any such act or omission, and the General Partner will be fully protected in so acting or omitting to act so long as such counsel or accountants or financial or other advisors were selected
with reasonable care. 
 (e) Except as set forth herein or in any other written agreement with the Partnership, the Ultimate Parent or any of
their respective subsidiaries to which a Partner or its Affiliate is a party or in the organizational documents of the Ultimate Parent, the Partners and their respective Affiliates may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of
every nature and description, independently or with others, whether or not similar to or in competition with the business of the Partnership (and whether or not such engagement or possession would be an actual or potential conflict of interest with
the Partnership), and neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall have, by virtue of this Agreement, at law or otherwise, any right in or to such other business ventures or to any ownership or other interest in or the income or profits derived
therefrom. Except as set forth herein or in any other written agreement with the Partnership to which a Partner or its Affiliate is a party, the Partners shall not be obligated to present any particular investment or business opportunity to the
Partnership or any Partner even if such opportunity is of a character which, if presented to the Partnership or any Partner, could be taken by the Partnership or any Partner, and each of the Partners and their respective Affiliates shall have the
right to take for its own account and with others or to recommend to others any such opportunity. 
  

 29 








 SECTION 10.02. Indemnification. 
 (a) Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership shall indemnify any Person (and such Person’s heirs, executors or
administrators) who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (brought in the right of the Partnership or otherwise), whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, including appeals, by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person was the legal representative, is or was a Partner (including without limitation, the General
Partner) or a director, officer or agent of a Partner (including without limitation, the General Partner) or the Partnership or, while a director, officer or agent of a Partner (including without limitation, the General Partner) or the Partnership,
is or was serving at the request of the Partnership as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company, nonprofit entity or other enterprise, for and
against all loss and liability suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by such person or such heirs, executors or administrators in connection with such action, suit
or proceeding, including appeals; provided that such person shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder only to the extent such person’s conduct constituted fraud or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as
otherwise provided in Section 10.02(c), the Partnership shall be required to indemnify a person described in such sentence in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such person only if the commencement of
such action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) by such person was authorized by the General Partner. 
 (b) Advancement of
Expenses. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership shall promptly pay expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any person described in Section 10.02(a) in appearing at, participating in or defending any action,
suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, including appeals, upon presentation of an undertaking on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is
not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 10.02 or otherwise. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.02(c), the Partnership shall be required to pay expenses of a person described in such
sentence in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such person only if the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) by such person was authorized by the General Partner. 
 (c) Unpaid Claims. If a claim for indemnification (following the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding) or advancement of expenses
under this Section 10.02 is not paid in full within thirty (30) days after a written claim therefor by any person described in Section 10.02(a) has been received by the Partnership, such person may file suit to recover the unpaid
amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Partnership shall have the burden of proving that such person is not entitled to the requested
indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law. 
 (d) Insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person described in Section 10.02(a) against any liability asserted against such person, whether or not the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such person against such
liability under the provisions of this Section 10.02 or otherwise.

 (e) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The provisions of this Section 10.02 shall be applicable to
all actions, claims, suits or proceedings made or commenced after the date of this Agreement, whether arising from acts or omissions to act occurring before or after its adoption. The provisions of this Section 10.02 shall be deemed to be a
contract between the Partnership and each person entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.02 (or legal representative thereof) who serves in such capacity at any time while this Section 10.02 and the relevant provisions of
applicable law, if any, are in effect, and any amendment, modification or repeal hereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or any action, suit or proceeding then or theretofore existing, or
any action, suit or proceeding thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part on any such state of facts. If any provision of this Section 10.02 shall be found to be invalid or limited in application by reason of any law or
regulation, it shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions hereof. The rights of indemnification provided in this Section 10.02 shall neither be exclusive of, nor be deemed in limitation of, any rights to which any person may
otherwise be or become entitled or permitted by contract, this Partnership Agreement or as a matter of law, both as to actions in such person’s official capacity and actions in any other capacity, it being the policy of the Partnership that
indemnification of any person whom the Partnership is obligated to indemnify pursuant to Section 10.02(a) shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 For purposes of this Section 10.02, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with
respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Partnership” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Partnership which imposes duties on, or involves services by,
such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries. 
 This
Section 10.02 shall not limit the right of the Partnership, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to, and purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of, Persons other than persons described in
Section 10.02(a).

 SECTION 11.10. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. 
 (a) Any and all disputes which cannot be settled amicably, including any ancillary claims of any party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with
the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or non-performance of this Agreement (including the validity, scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision) shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by a single
arbitrator in New York in accordance with the then-existing Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. If the parties to the dispute fail to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the receipt of
the request for arbitration, the International Chamber of Commerce shall make the appointment. The arbitrator shall be reasonably selected by the General Partner, 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. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, this Section 11.10(a) shall be construed to the maximum extent possible
to comply with the laws of the State of Delaware, including the 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 11.10(a), including any rules of the American Arbitration Association, shall be invalid or unenforceable under the Delaware Arbitration Act, or other applicable law, such
invalidity shall not invalidate all of this Section 11.10(a). In that case, this Section 11.10(a) 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 11.10(a) shall be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable provision. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), the General Partner may bring, or may cause the Partnership to bring, on behalf of the General
Partner or the Partnership or on behalf of one or more Partners, 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 Partner (i) expressly consents to the application of paragraph (c) of this Section 11.10 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 General
Partner as such Partner’s agent for service of process in connection with any such action or proceeding and agrees that service of process upon such agent, who shall promptly advise such Partner of any such service of process, shall be deemed
in every respect effective service of process upon the Partner in any such action or proceeding. 
 (c) (i) EACH PARTNER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION 11.10, 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 fora designated by this paragraph (c) have a reasonable relation to this Agreement, and to the parties’ relationship with one another.

  

 34 








 (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 11.10 and such parties agree not
to plead or claim the same. 
 SECTION 11.11. Expenses. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, the Partnership shall be
responsible for all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with its operation. 
 SECTION 11.12. Amendments and Waivers. (a) This Agreement (including the Annexes hereto) may be amended, supplemented, waived or
modified by the written consent of the General Partner; provided that no such amendment, supplement, waiver or modification shall adversely affect a Limited Partner’s Units without the written consent of the Limited Partner so affected;
provided further, that the General Partner may, without the written consent of any Limited Partner or any other Person, amend, supplement, waive or modify any provision of this Agreement and execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file and
record whatever documents may be required in connection therewith, to reflect: (i) any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification that the General Partner determines to be required in order to create, authorize or issue any class or series
of equity interest in the Partnership as permitted by, and in accordance with the terms of, this Agreement, provided, however, no such amendment, supplement, waiver or modification shall alter or change the powers, preferences or
special rights of Units so as to affect them adversely without the written consent of the Limited Partner so affected; (ii) the admission, substitution, withdrawal or removal of Partners in accordance with this Agreement; (iii) a change in
the name of the Partnership, the location of the principal place of business of the Partnership, the registered agent of the Partnership or the registered office of the Partnership; (iv) any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification that
the General Partner determines to be required to comply with applicable Law; or (v) a change in the Fiscal Year or taxable year of the Partnership; provided further, that Schedule I to this Agreement shall be revised from time to time by
the General Partner to reflect the admission of a new Partner, the withdrawal or resignation of a Partner, and the adjustment of the Units resulting from any Transfer or other disposition of a Unit, in each case that is made in accordance with the
provisions hereof. 
 (b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder (other than a failure or
delay beyond a period of time specified herein) shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and
remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law. 
 (c) The General Partner may, in
its sole discretion, unilaterally amend this Agreement on or before the effective date of the final regulations to provide for (i) the election of a safe harbor under Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3(l) (or any similar
provision) under which the fair market value of a partnership interest that is transferred is treated as being equal to the liquidation value of that interest, (ii) an agreement by the Partnership and each of its Partners to 

  

 35 








 
comply with all of the requirements set forth in such regulations and Notice 2005-43 (and any other guidance provided by the Internal Revenue Service with
respect to such election) with respect to all partnership interests transferred in connection with the performance of services while the election remains effective, (iii) the allocation of items of income, gains, deductions and losses required
by the final regulations similar to Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(xii)(b) and (c), and (iv) any other related amendments. 
 (d) Except as may be otherwise required by law in connection with the winding-up, liquidation, or dissolution of the Partnership, each Partner hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights that it may have to maintain
an action for judicial accounting or for partition of any of the Partnership’s property. 
 SECTION 11.13. No Third Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assigns and successors and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or
entity, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, any obligation of the Partners to make Capital Contributions to the Partnership under this
Agreement is an agreement only between the Partners and no other person or entity, including the Partnership, shall have any rights to enforce such obligations. 
 SECTION 11.14. Headings. The headings and subheadings in this Agreement are included for convenience and identification only and are in no way intended to describe, interpret, define or limit the scope,
extent or intent of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 SECTION 11.15. Construction. Each party hereto acknowledges and
agrees it has had the opportunity to draft, review and edit the language of this Agreement and that no presumption for or against any party arising out of drafting all or any part of this Agreement will be applied in any dispute relating to, in
connection with or involving this Agreement. Accordingly, the parties hereby waive the benefit of any rule of Law or any legal decision that would require that in cases of uncertainty, the language of a contract should be interpreted most strongly
against the party who drafted such language. 
 SECTION 11.16. Power of Attorney. Each Limited Partner, by its execution hereof,
hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the General Partner as its true and lawful agent and attorney in fact, with full power of substitution and full power and authority in its name, place and stead, to make, execute, sign, acknowledge,
swear to, record and file (a) this Agreement and any amendment to this Agreement that has been adopted as herein provided; (b) the original Certificate and all amendments thereto required or permitted by law or the provisions of this
Agreement; (c) all certificates and other instruments (including consents and ratifications which the Limited Partners have agreed to provide upon a matter receiving the agreed support of Limited Partners) deemed advisable by the General
Partner to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and Law or to permit the Partnership to become or to continue as a limited partnership or partnership wherein the Limited Partners have limited liability in each jurisdiction where the
Partnership may be doing business; (d) all instruments that the General Partner deems appropriate to reflect a change or modification of this Agreement or the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, the
admission of additional Limited Partners or 

  

 36 








 
substituted Limited Partners pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (e) all conveyances and other instruments or papers deemed advisable by the
General Partner to effect the liquidation and termination of the Partnership; and (f) all fictitious or assumed name certificates required or permitted (in light of the Partnership’s activities) to be filed on behalf of the Partnership.

purposes.
