 WHEREAS, the Partnership was formed as a limited partnership pursuant to the Act, by the execution of the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership dated as of November 29, 2011 (the
“Original Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to enter into this Amended and Restated
Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership and to permit the admission of the Limited Partners to the Partnership. 
 NOW,

SECTION 1.01. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the following meanings (such meanings being
equally applicable to both the singular and plural form of the terms defined):

Partner’s Capital Account adjusted (i) by taking into account the adjustments, allocations and distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6); and (ii) by adding to such balance such
Partner’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5), any amounts such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision
of this Agreement or by applicable Law. The foregoing definition of Adjusted Capital Account Balance is intended to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

  
 1 

 “Affiliate” means, with respect to a specified Person, any
other Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls, is Controlled by, or is under common Control with, such specified Person. For purposes of the definition of “Affiliate,” Affiliates of the Mubadala
Holders shall only include Mubadala Development Company PJSC and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. 

“Agreement” has the meaning set forth in the preamble of this Agreement. 

“Amended Tax Amount” has the meaning set forth in Section 4.01(b)(ii). 

“Assignee” has the meaning set forth in Section 8.07. 

“Assumed Tax Rate” means the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax
rate for a Fiscal Year prescribed for an individual or corporate resident in New York, New York (taking into account (a) the nondeductiblity of expenses subject to the limitation described in Section 67(a) of the Code and (b) the
character (e.g., long-term or short-term capital gain or ordinary or exempt income) of the applicable income, but not taking into account the deductibility of state and local income taxes for U.S. federal income tax purposes). For the avoidance of
doubt, the Assumed Tax Rate will be the same for all Partners. 
 “Available Cash” means,
with respect to any fiscal period, the amount of cash on hand which the General Partner, in its reasonable discretion, deems available for distribution to the Partners, taking into account all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership
then due and amounts which the General Partner, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary to expend or retain for working capital or to place into reserves for customary and usual claims with respect to the Partnership’s operations.

 “CalPERS” means the California Public Employees’ Retirement System. 

“Capital Account” means the separate capital account maintained for each Partner in accordance with
Section 5.03 hereof. 
 “Capital Contribution” means, with respect to any Partner, the
aggregate amount of money contributed to the Partnership and the Carrying Value of any property (other than money), net of any liabilities assumed by the Partnership upon contribution or to which such property is subject, contributed to the
Partnership pursuant to Article V. 
 “Carlyle Holdings Partnerships” means each of the
Partnership, Carlyle Holdings I L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and Placements Carlyle II S.E.C./Carlyle Holdings II L.P., a Québec société en commandite.

federal income tax purposes, except that the initial carrying value of assets contributed to the Partnership shall be their respective gross fair market values on the date of contribution as determined by the General Partner, and the Carrying Values
of all Partnership assets shall be adjusted to equal their respective fair market values, in accordance with the rules set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), 

  
 2 

 
except as otherwise provided herein, as of: (a) the date of the acquisition of any additional Partnership interest by any new or existing Partner in exchange for more than a de
minimis Capital Contribution; (b) the date of the distribution of more than a de minimis amount of Partnership assets to a Partner; (c) the date a Partnership interest is relinquished to the Partnership; or (d) any other
date specified in the Treasury Regulations; provided, however, that adjustments pursuant to clauses (a), (b) (c) and (d) above shall be made only if such adjustments are deemed necessary or appropriate by the General Partner to
reflect the relative economic interests of the Partners. The Carrying Value of any Partnership asset distributed to any Partner shall be adjusted immediately before such distribution to equal its fair market value. In the case of any asset that has
a Carrying Value that differs from its adjusted tax basis, Carrying Value shall be adjusted by the amount of depreciation calculated for purposes of the definition of “Profits (Losses)” rather than the amount of depreciation determined for
U.S. federal income tax purposes, and depreciation shall be calculated by reference to Carrying Value rather than tax basis once Carrying Value differs from tax basis. 

“Cause” means, with respect to each Person that is or was at any time a Service Provider, the General
Partner has determined in good faith that such Person has (A) engaged in gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the duties required of such Person under any employment or services agreement between such Person and the

order, judicial or administrative, obtained or issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or similar agency or tribunal of any country, for any securities law violation involving insider trading, fraud, misappropriation, dishonesty or
willful misconduct (including, for example, any such order consented to by such Person in which findings of facts or any legal conclusions establishing liability are neither admitted nor denied); (F) without the express approval of the General
Partner, disclosed to the public or to any press reporter or on any public media the name of or fundraising efforts of any private fund vehicle that is sponsored by the Issuer or any Affiliate thereof and has not had a final closing of commitments

for purposes of this Agreement. For all purposes hereunder and under the Act, only such Classes expressly 

  
 3

Partner.

is intended to be consistent with the term “creditable foreign tax” in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(viii), and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

entreprises (Québec) pursuant to the Act, as amended from time to time.

 ARTICLE IV 
 DISTRIBUTIONS 
 SECTION 4.01. Distributions. (a) The General
Partner, in its sole discretion, may authorize distributions by the Partnership to the Partners, which distributions shall be made pro rata in accordance with the Partners’ respective Total Percentage Interests. 

(b) (i) In addition to the foregoing, if the General Partner reasonably determines that the taxable income of the Partnership for a
Fiscal Year will give rise to taxable income for the Partners (“Net Taxable Income”), the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute Available Cash in respect of income tax liabilities (the “Tax
Distributions”) to the extent that other distributions made by the Partnership for such year were otherwise insufficient to cover such tax liabilities. The Tax Distributions payable with respect to any Fiscal Year shall be computed based
upon the General Partner’s estimate of the allocable Net Taxable Income in accordance with Article V, multiplied by the Assumed Tax Rate (the “Tax Amount”). For purposes of computing the Tax Amount, the effect of
any benefit under Section 743(b) of the Code will be ignored. 
 (ii) Tax Distributions shall be calculated
and paid no later than one day prior to each quarterly due date for the payment by corporations on a calendar year of estimated taxes under the Code in the following manner (A) for the first quarterly period, 25% of the Tax Amount, (B) for
the second quarterly period, 50% of the Tax Amount, less the prior Tax Distributions for the Fiscal Year, (C) for the third quarterly period, 75% of the Tax Amount, less the prior Tax Distributions for the Fiscal Year and (D) for the
fourth quarterly period, 100% of the Tax Amount, less the prior Tax Distributions for the Fiscal Year. Following each Fiscal Year, and no later than one day prior to the due date for the payment by corporations of income taxes for such Fiscal Year,
the General Partner shall make an amended calculation of the Tax Amount for such Fiscal Year (the “Amended Tax Amount”), and shall cause the Partnership to distribute a Tax Distribution, out of Available Cash, to the extent
that the Amended Tax Amount so calculated exceeds the cumulative Tax Distributions previously made by the Partnership in respect of such Fiscal Year. If the Amended Tax Amount is less than the cumulative Tax Distributions previously made by the
Partnership in respect of the relevant Fiscal Year, then the 

  
 14 

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

SECTION 4.02. Liquidation Distribution. Distributions made upon dissolution of the Partnership shall be made as provided in
Section 9.03. 
 SECTION 4.03. Limitations on Distribution. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the General Partner shall not make a Partnership distribution to any Partner if such distribution would violate Article 2242 of the Civil Code or any other applicable provision of the Act or other applicable Law.

 ARTICLE V 
 CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS; 
 TAX ALLOCATIONS; TAX MATTERS 

SECTION 5.01. Initial Capital Contributions. (a) The Partners have made, on or prior to the date hereof, Capital
Contributions and, in exchange, the Partnership has issued to the Partners the number of Class A Units as specified in the books and records of the Partnership. 
 (b) Upon issuance by the Partnership of Class A Units to the Partners and the admission of such Partners to the Partnership, the partnership interests in the Partnership as provided in this Agreement
and under the Act held by Carlyle Holdings III Limited Partner L.L.C. will be cancelled and Carlyle Holdings III Limited Partner L.L.C. will withdraw as a limited partner of the Partnership. 

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

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

  
 15 

 
pursuant to Section 5.04 and any items of income or gain which are specially allocated pursuant to Section 5.05; and shall be debited with all Losses allocated to such Partner pursuant
to Section 5.04, any items of loss or deduction of the Partnership specially allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.05, and all cash and the Carrying Value of any property (net of liabilities assumed by such Partner and the
liabilities to which such property is subject) distributed by the Partnership to such Partner. Any references in any section of this Agreement to the Capital Account of a Partner shall be deemed to refer to such Capital Account as the same may be
credited or debited from time to time as set forth above. In the event of any transfer of any interest in the Partnership in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the
extent it relates to the transferred interest. 
 SECTION 5.04. Allocations of Profits and Losses. Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, Profits and Losses (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain or loss or deduction of the Partnership) shall be allocated in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Partner after
giving effect to the Special Allocations set forth in Section 5.05 is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to (i) the distributions that would be made pursuant to Article IV if the Partnership were dissolved, its affairs wound
up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Carrying Value, all Partnership liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each non-recourse liability to the Carrying Value of the assets securing such liability) and the net assets of the
Partnership were distributed to the Partners pursuant to this Agreement, minus (ii) such Partner’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of
assets. For purposes of this Article V, each Unvested Unit shall be treated as a Vested Unit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall make such adjustments to Capital Accounts as it determines in its sole discretion to be
appropriate to ensure allocations are made in accordance with a partner’s interest in the Partnership. 
 SECTION
5.05. Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article V: 
 (a) Minimum Gain
Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain or Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined in accordance with the principles of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(d) and 1.704-2(i)) during any Partnership taxable
year, the Partners shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to their respective shares of such net decrease during such year, determined pursuant to
Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 5.05(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain
chargeback requirements in such Treasury Regulations Sections and shall be interpreted consistently therewith; including that no chargeback shall be required to the extent of the exceptions provided in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and
1.704-2(i)(4). 
 (b) Qualified Income Offset. If any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or
distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the deficit
balance in such Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account Balance created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as promptly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.05(b) shall be made only to the
extent that a 

  
 16 

 
Partner would have a deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been tentatively made as if this
Section 5.05(b) were not in this Agreement. This Section 5.05(b) is intended to comply with the “qualified income offset” requirement of the Code and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 

(c) Gross Income Allocation. If any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the
sum of (i) the amount such Partner is obligated to restore, if any, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this
Section 5.05(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that a Partner would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been tentatively made as if Section 5.05(b)
and this Section 5.05(c) were not in this Agreement. 
 (d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be
allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Total Percentage Interests. 
 (e) Partner Nonrecourse
Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the liability to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance
with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(j). 
 (f) Creditable Non-U.S. Taxes. Creditable Non-U.S. Taxes for any
taxable period attributable to the Partnership, or an entity owned directly or indirectly by the Partnership, shall be allocated to the Partners in proportion to the partners’ distributive shares of income (including income allocated pursuant
to Section 704(c) of the Code) to which the Creditable Non-U.S. Tax relates (under principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.904-6). The provisions of this Section 5.05(f) are intended to comply with the provisions of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(viii), and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 
 (g) Ameliorative
Allocations. Any special allocations of income or gain pursuant to Sections 5.05(b) or 5.05(c) hereof shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations pursuant to Section 5.04 and this Section 5.05(g), so that the net
amount of any items so allocated and all other items allocated to each Partner shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Partner if such allocations pursuant to Sections 5.05(b) or 5.05(c) had
not occurred. 
 SECTION 5.06. Tax Allocations. For income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and
deduction of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as the corresponding items of Profits and Losses and specially allocated items are allocated for Capital Account purposes; provided that in the case of any
asset the Carrying Value of which differs from its adjusted tax basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall be allocated solely for income tax purposes in accordance with the
principles of Sections 704(b) and (c) of the Code (in any manner determined by the General Partner and permitted by the Code and Treasury Regulations) so as to take account of the 

  
 17 

 
difference between Carrying Value and adjusted basis of such asset; provided further that the Partnership shall use the traditional method with curative allocations (as provided in
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(c)) for all Section 704(c) allocations, limited to allocations of income or gain from the disposition of Partnership property where allocations of depreciation deductions have been limited by the
ceiling rule throughout the term of the Partnership). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall make such allocations for tax purposes as it determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate to ensure allocations are made in
accordance with a partner’s interest in the Partnership. 
 SECTION 5.07. Tax Advances. To the extent the
General Partner reasonably believes that the Partnership is required by law to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Partner or the Partnership is subjected to tax itself by reason of the status of any Partner
(“Tax Advances”), the General Partner may withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as so required. All Tax Advances made on behalf of a Partner shall be repaid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding
distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Partner or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Partner. For all purposes of this
Agreement such Partner shall be treated as having received the amount of the distribution that is equal to the Tax Advance. Each Partner hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership and the other Partners from and against any
liability (including, without limitation, any liability for taxes, penalties, additions to tax or interest other than any penalties, additions to tax or interest imposed as a result of the Partnership’s failure to withhold or make a tax payment
on behalf of such Partner which withholding or payment is required pursuant to applicable Law but only to the extent amounts sufficient to pay such taxes were not timely distributed to the Partner pursuant to Section 4.01(b)) with respect to
income attributable to or distributions or other payments to such Partner. 
 SECTION 5.08. Tax Matters. The General
Partner shall be the initial “tax matters partner” within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (the “Tax Matters Partner”). The Partnership shall file as a partnership for federal, state, provincial and local
income tax purposes, except where otherwise required by Law. All elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership, and all other tax decisions and determinations relating to federal, state, provincial or local tax matters of the
Partnership, shall be made by the Tax Matters Partner, in consultation with the Partnership’s attorneys and/or accountants. Tax audits, controversies and litigations shall be conducted under the direction of the Tax Matters Partner. The Tax
Matters Partner shall keep the other Partners reasonably informed as to any tax actions, examinations or proceedings relating to the Partnership and shall submit to the other Partners, for their review and comment, any settlement or compromise offer
with respect to any disputed item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Partnership. As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Partnership shall send to each Partner a copy of U.S. Internal Revenue Service
Schedule K-1, and any comparable statements required by applicable U.S. state or local income tax Law as a result of the Partnership’s activities or investments, with respect to such Fiscal Year. The Partnership also shall provide the Partners
with such other information as may be reasonably requested for purposes of allowing the Partners to prepare and file their own tax returns. 
 SECTION 5.09. Other Allocation Provisions. Certain of the foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are

  
 18 

 
intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such regulations. In addition to amendments effected in
accordance with Section 11.12 or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement, Sections 5.03, 5.04 and 5.05 may also, so long as any such amendment does not materially change the relative economic interests of the Partners, be amended at any
time by the General Partner if necessary, in the opinion of tax counsel to the Partnership, to comply with such regulations or any applicable Law. 
 ARTICLE VI

prepare and maintain separate books of account for the Partnership in accordance with GAAP. 
 (b) Except as limited by

in the best interests of the Partnership, could damage the Partnership or its business or that the Partnership is required by law or by agreement with any third party to keep confidential. 

ARTICLE VII 

PARTNERSHIP UNITS 
 SECTION 7.01. Units. Interests in the Partnership shall be represented by Units. The Units initially are comprised of one Class: “Class A Units”. The General Partner in its sole
discretion may establish and issue, from time to time in accordance with such procedures as the General Partner shall determine from time to time, additional Units, in one or more Classes or series of Units, or other Partnership securities, at such
price, and with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers and duties (which may be senior to existing Units, Classes and series of Units or other Partnership securities), as shall be
determined by the General Partner without the approval of any Partner or any other Person who 

  
 19 

 
may acquire an interest in any of the Units, including (i) the right of such Units to share in Profits and Losses or items thereof; (ii) the right of such Units to share in Partnership
distributions; (iii) the rights of such Units upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; (iv) whether, and the terms and conditions upon which, the Partnership may or shall be required to redeem such Units (including sinking fund
provisions); (v) whether such Units are issued with the privilege of conversion or exchange and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange; (vi) the terms and conditions upon which such Units will be issued, evidenced
by certificates and assigned or transferred; (vii) the method for determining the Total Percentage Interest as to such Units; (viii) the terms and conditions of the issuance of such Units (including, without limitation, the amount and form
of consideration, if any, to be received by the Partnership in respect thereof, the General Partner being expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to cause the Partnership to issue such Units for less than fair market value); and (ix) the
right, if any, of the holder of such Units to vote on Partnership matters, including matters relating to the relative designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties of such Units. The General Partner in its sole discretion, without the
approval of any Partner or any other Person, is authorized (i) to issue Units or other Partnership securities of any newly established Class or any existing Class to Partners or other Persons who may acquire an interest in the Partnership and
(ii) to amend this Agreement to reflect the creation of any such new Class, the issuance of Units or other Partnership securities of such Class, and the admission of any Person as a Partner which has received Units or other Partnership
securities. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement to the contrary, any reference to “Units” shall include the Class A Units and Units of any other Class or series that may be established in accordance with this Agreement. All
Units of a particular Class shall have identical rights in all respects as all other Units of such Class, except in each case as otherwise specified in this Agreement. 
 SECTION 7.02. Register. The register of the Partnership shall be the definitive record of ownership of each Unit and all relevant information with respect to each Partner. Such register shall
be kept at its place of principal establishment of partnership and the General Partner shall make changes to the register of the Partnership to reflect any change in relation thereto, such register remaining the definite 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. 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 or other applicable Law. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

VESTING; FORFEITURE OF INTERESTS; TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS 
 SECTION 8.01. Vesting of Unvested Units. (a) Unvested Units shall vest and shall thereafter be Vested Units for all purposes of this Agreement as agreed to in writing between the General
Partner and the applicable Limited Partner and reflected in the books and records of the Partnership. 

  
 20 

 (b) The General Partner in its sole discretion may authorize the earlier vesting of all or a
portion of Unvested Units owned by any one or more Limited Partners at any time and from time to time, and in such event, such Unvested Units shall vest and thereafter be Vested Units for all purposes of this Agreement. Any such determination in the
General Partner’s discretion in respect of Unvested Units shall be final and binding. Such determinations need not be uniform and may be made selectively among Limited Partners, whether or not such Limited Partners are similarly situated, and
shall not constitute the breach of any duty hereunder or otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise. 
 (c) Upon the
vesting of any Unvested Units in accordance with this Section 8.01, the General Partner shall modify the books and records of the Partnership to reflect such vesting. 
 SECTION 8.02. Forfeiture of Units. (a) Except as otherwise agreed to in writing between the General Partner and the applicable Person and reflected in the books and records of the Partnership,
if a Person that is a Service Provider ceases to be a Service Provider for any reason, all Unvested Units held by such Person (or any Personal Planning Vehicle of such Person), and/or in which such Person (or any Personal Planning Vehicle of such
Person) has an indirect interest, as set forth in the books and records of the Partnership, shall be immediately forfeited without any consideration, and any such Person (or any such Personal Planning Vehicle) shall cease to own or have any rights,
directly or indirectly, with respect to such forfeited Unvested Units. 
 (b) Except as otherwise agreed to in writing between
the General Partner and the applicable Person and reflected in the books and records of the Partnership, if the General Partner determines in good faith that Cause exists with respect to any Person that is or was at any time a Service Provider, the
Units (whether or not vested) held by such Person (or any Personal Planning Vehicle of such Person), and/or in which such Person (or any Personal Planning Vehicle of such Person) has an indirect interest, as set forth in the books and records of the
Partnership, shall be immediately forfeited without any consideration, and any such Person (or any such Personal Planning Vehicle) shall cease to own or have any rights, directly or indirectly, with respect to such forfeited Units. Such
determinations need not be uniform and may be made selectively among such Persons, whether or not such Persons are similarly situated, and shall not constitute the breach by the General Partner or any of its directors, managers, officers or members
of any duty (including any fiduciary duty) hereunder or otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary herein, including without limitation Section 9.06 and Section 10.01, if any Person who is or was at any time a Service Provider shall fail to perform when due any “giveback,”
“true-up” or “clawback” obligation owed by such Person to the Partnership or any of its Affiliates or to any fund sponsored by the Partnership or any of its Affiliates, the General Partner may in its sole discretion and without
the consent of any other Person, cause to be forfeited a number of Units held by such Person (or any Personal Planning Vehicle of such Person), and/or in which such Person (or any Personal Planning Vehicle of such Person) has an indirect interest,
as set forth in the books and records of the Partnership, equivalent in value to the obligation which was not performed, as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion. Such determinations need not be uniform and may be made selectively
among such Persons, whether or not such Persons are similarly situated, and shall not constitute the breach by the General Partner or any of its directors, managers, officers or members of any duty (including any fiduciary duty) hereunder or
otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise. 

  
 21 

 (d) Upon the forfeiture of any Units in accordance with this Section 8.02, such Units
shall be cancelled and the General Partner shall modify the books and records of the Partnership to reflect such forfeiture and cancellation. 
 SECTION 8.03. Limited Partner Transfers. (a) Except as otherwise agreed to in writing between the General Partner and the applicable Limited Partner and reflected in the books and records of
the Partnership, no Limited Partner or Assignee thereof may Transfer (including pursuant to an Exchange Transaction) all or any portion of its Units or other interest in the Partnership (or beneficial interest therein) without the prior consent of
the General Partner, which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject to such conditions (including, without limitation, the receipt of such legal opinions and other documents that the General Partner may require) as are determined by the
General Partner, in each case in the General Partner’s sole discretion, and which consent may be in the form of a plan or program entered into or approved by the General Partner, in its sole discretion. Any such determination in the General
Partner’s discretion in respect of Units shall be final and binding. Such determinations need not be uniform and may be made selectively among Limited Partners, whether or not such Limited Partners are similarly situated, and shall not
constitute the breach of any duty hereunder or otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise. Any purported Transfer of Units that is not in accordance with, or subsequently violates, this Agreement shall be, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, null and void. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary in this Section 8.03, from and after the
fifth anniversary of the date hereof, each Limited Partner may Transfer Units in Exchange Transactions pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Exchange Agreement; provided that such Exchange Transactions shall be effected in compliance with
policies that the General Partner may adopt or promulgate from time to time (including policies requiring the use of designated administrators or brokers). 
 (c) The parties hereto agree that the Units held by CalPERS shall not be subject to the restrictions on Transfer set forth in paragraph (a) above. The parties hereto agree that the Units held by the
Mubadala Holders shall not be subject to the restrictions on Transfer set forth in paragraph (a) above, and shall be subject such restrictions agreed to in writing by the Mubadala Holders in one or more separate agreements. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary in this Section 8.03, a Personal Planning Vehicle of a Limited Partner may
Transfer Units: (i) to the donor thereof; (ii) if the Personal Planning Vehicle is a grantor retained annuity trust and the trustee(s) of such grantor retained annuity trust is obligated to make one or more distributions to the donor of
the grantor retained annuity trust, the estate of the donor of the grantor retained annuity trust, the spouse of the donor of the grantor retained annuity trust or the estate of the spouse of the donor of the grantor retained annuity trust, to any
such Persons; or (iii) upon the death of such Limited Partner, to the spouse of such Limited Partner or a trust for which a deduction under Section 2056 or 2056A (or any successor provisions) of the Code may be sought. 

  
 22 

 SECTION 8.04. Mandatory Exchanges. The General Partner may in its sole
discretion at any time and from time to time, without the consent of any Limited Partner or other Person, cause to be Transferred in an Exchange Transaction any and all Units, except for Units held by (x) CalPERS, (y) any Mubadala Holder,
or (z) any Person that is a Service Provider at the time in question and/or in which a Person that is a Service Provider at the time in question has an indirect interest as set forth in the books and records of the Partnership. Any such
determinations by the General Partner need not be uniform and may be made selectively among Limited Partners, whether or not such Limited Partners are similarly situated. In addition, the General Partner may, with the consent of Partners whose
Vested Percentage Interests exceed 75% of the Vested Percentage Interests of all Partners in the aggregate, require all Limited Partners (except for CalPERS and the Mubadala Holders) to Transfer in an Exchange Transaction all Units held by them.

 SECTION 8.05. Encumbrances. No Limited Partner or Assignee may create an Encumbrance with respect to all or any
portion of its Units (or any beneficial interest therein) other than Encumbrances that run in favor of the Limited Partner unless the General Partner consents in writing thereto, which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject to such
conditions as are determined by the General Partner, in the General Partner’s sole discretion. Consent of the General Partner shall be withheld until the holder of the Encumbrance acknowledges the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any
purported Encumbrance that is not in accordance with this Agreement shall be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, null and void. 
 SECTION 8.06. Further Restrictions. (a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, the General Partner may impose such vesting requirements, forfeiture provisions, Transfer
restrictions, minimum retained ownership requirements or other similar provisions with respect to any Units that are outstanding as of the date of this Agreement or are created thereafter, with the written consent of the holder of such Units. Such
requirements, provisions and restrictions need not be uniform and may be waived or released by the General Partner in its sole discretion with respect to all or a portion of the Units owned by any one or more Limited Partners at any time and from
time to time, and shall not constitute the breach of any duty hereunder or otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise. 

(b) 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: 
 (i) such Transfer is made to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own such
Unit; 
 (ii) such Transfer would require the registration of such transferred Unit or of any Class of Unit
pursuant to any applicable United States federal or state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) or other non-U.S. securities laws (including Canadian provincial or territorial securities laws) or
would constitute a non-exempt distribution pursuant to applicable provincial or state securities laws; 
 (iii)
such Transfer would cause (i) all or any portion of the assets of the Partnership to (A) constitute “plan assets” (under ERISA, the Code or any 

  
 23 

 
applicable Similar Law) of any existing or contemplated Limited Partner, or (B) be subject to the provisions of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable Similar Law, or
(ii) the General Partner to become a fiduciary with respect to any existing or contemplated Limited Partner, pursuant to ERISA, any applicable Similar Law, or otherwise; 

(iv) to the extent requested by the General Partner, the Partnership does not receive such legal and/or tax opinions and
written instruments (including, without limitation, copies of any instruments of Transfer and such Assignee’s consent to be bound by this Agreement as an Assignee) that are in a form satisfactory to the General Partner, as determined in the
General Partner’s sole discretion; provided, however, that any requirement to provide legal and/or tax opinions pursuant to this clause (iv) shall not apply to CalPERS or the Mubadala Holders; or 

(v) the General Partner shall determine in its sole discretion that such Transfer would pose a material risk that the
Partnership would be a “publicly traded partnership” as defined in Section 7704 of the Code. 
 In addition,
notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, to the extent the General Partner shall determine that interests in the Partnership do not meet the requirements of Treasury Regulation section 1.7704-1(h), the General Partner may impose
such restrictions on the Transfer of Units or other interests in the Partnership as the General Partner may determine in its sole discretion to be necessary or advisable so that the Partnership is not treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable
as a corporation under Section 7704 of the Code. 
 (c) Any Transfer in violation of this Article VIII shall be deemed null
and void ab initio and of no effect. 
 SECTION 8.07. Rights of Assignees. Subject to Section 8.06(b),
the Transferee of any permitted Transfer pursuant to this Article VIII will be an assignee only (“Assignee”), and only will receive, to the extent transferred, the distributions and allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction,
credit or similar item to which the Partner which transferred its Units would be entitled, and such Assignee will not be entitled or enabled to exercise any other rights or powers of a Partner, such other rights, and all obligations relating to, or
in connection with, such interest remaining with the transferring Partner. The transferring Partner will remain a Partner even if it has transferred all of its Units to one or more Assignees until such time as the Assignee(s) is admitted to the
Partnership as a Partner pursuant to Section 8.09. 

  
 24 

 SECTION 8.08. Admissions, Withdrawals and Removals. (a) No Person may be
admitted to the Partnership as an additional General Partner or substitute General Partner without the prior written consent of each incumbent General Partner, which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject to such conditions as are
determined by each incumbent General Partner, in each case in the sole discretion of each incumbent General Partner. A General Partner will not be entitled to Transfer all of its Units or to withdraw from being a General Partner of the Partnership
unless another General Partner shall have been admitted hereunder (and not have previously been removed or withdrawn). 
 (b) No
Limited Partner will be removed or entitled to withdraw from being a Partner of the Partnership except in accordance with Section 8.10 hereof. Any additional General Partner or substitute General Partner admitted as a general partner of the
Partnership pursuant to this Section 8.08 is hereby authorized to, and shall, continue the Partnership without dissolution. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided in Article IX or the Act, no admission, substitution, withdrawal or removal of a Partner will cause the dissolution of the Partnership. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, any purported admission, withdrawal or removal that is not in accordance with this Agreement shall be null and void. 

SECTION 8.09. Admission of Assignees as Substitute Limited Partners. An Assignee will become a substitute Limited Partner
only if and when each of the following conditions is satisfied: 
 (a) the General Partner consents in writing
to such admission, which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject to such conditions as are determined by the General Partner, in each case in the General Partner’s sole discretion; 

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

(c) if required by the General Partner, the General Partner receives an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the General
Partner to the effect that such Transfer is in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable Law; and 
 (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 8.10. Withdrawal and Removal of Limited Partners. Subject to Section 8.07, if a
Limited Partner ceases to hold any Units, including as a result of a forfeiture of Units pursuant to Section 8.02, then such Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner and to have the power to exercise any rights or powers of a Limited
Partner, and shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the Partnership. 
 SECTION 8.11. No Solicitation. Each Limited
Partner that is a Service Provider agrees, and each Limited Partner that holds Units in which a Service Provider has an indirect 

  
 25 

 
interest, as set forth in the books and records of the Partnership agrees on behalf of such Service Provider, that for so long as such Person is a Service Provider and for a period of one year
after the effective date on which such Person ceases to be a Service Provider for any reason (such period, the “Restrictive Covenant Period”), such former Service Provider shall not, directly or indirectly, whether alone or in
concert with other Persons: 
 (a) solicit any Person that is a Service Provider at the time in question, to
abandon such employment; 
 (b) hire a Person who is, or within the prior year was, a Service Provider; or

 (c) solicit any Person (or any Affiliate of such Person) which is a subscribing investor in, or a partner or
member of, any fund or vehicle advised or to be advised by the Partnership or any Affiliate thereof of, or with which the Partnership or any Affiliate thereof has arrangements relating to the payment of management fees, incentive fees or carried
interest, for the purpose of obtaining funds (whether debt or equity) or inducing such Person to make an investment (whether debt or equity) which is sponsored or promoted by such former Service Provider (or by any Affiliate or employer of such
former Service Provider). 
 SECTION 8.12. Minimum Retained Ownership Requirement. Unless otherwise permitted by the
General Partner in its sole discretion, (i) each Limited Partner that is or was at any time a Service Provider shall, until the expiration of the Restrictive Covenant Period applicable to such Service Provider, continue to hold (and may not
Transfer) at least 25% of all Vested Units received collectively by such Limited Partner and by any Personal Planning Vehicle of such Limited Partner; and (ii) each Limited Partner that holds Units in which a Person that is or was at any time a
Service Provider has an indirect interest, as set forth in the books and records of the Partnership, shall, until the expiration of the Restrictive Covenant Period applicable to such Service Provider, continue to hold (and may not Transfer) at least
25% of all Vested Units received collectively by such Limited Partner in which such Person (or any Personal Planning Vehicle of such Person) has an indirect interest, as set forth in the books and records of the Partnership (clauses (i) and
(ii) above, as applicable, the “Minimum Retained Ownership Requirement”). For purposes of this Section 8.12, unless the General Partner shall otherwise determine in its sole discretion, (x) Units received by a
Personal Planning Vehicle of a Limited Partner shall be deemed held by such Limited Partner for purposes of calculating the number of Vested Units received by such Limited Partner and (y) Units received by a Personal Planning Vehicle of a
Limited Partner shall not be deemed to be held by such Limited Partner for purposes of calculating whether the relevant percentage of Vested Units held satisfies the Minimum Retained Ownership Requirement. The General Partner may in its sole
discretion resolve any question regarding the satisfaction of the Minimum Retained Ownership Requirement or the application of the provisions of this 8.12, including the calculation of Units received and Units held with respect to Service Providers
that hold direct and indirect interests in Units. Any such determination in the General Partner’s discretion shall be final and binding. Such determinations need not be uniform and may be made selectively among Persons, whether or not such
Persons are similarly situated, and shall not constitute the breach of any duty hereunder or otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise. 

  
 26 

 ARTICLE IX 
 DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION 
 SECTION 9.01. No
Dissolution. Except as required by the Act, the Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of additional Partners or withdrawal of Partners in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Partnership may be dissolved, liquidated,
wound up and terminated only pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX, and the Partners hereby irrevocably waive 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 rendering of a judicial judgment ordering the dissolution of the Partnership under the Act upon the finding by a court of competent jurisdiction that it is not reasonably practicable to carry on
the business of the Partnership in conformity with this Agreement; 
 (b) any event which makes it unlawful for
the business of the Partnership to be carried on by the Partners; 
 (c) the written consent of all Partners;

 (d) at any time there are no limited partners, unless the Partnership is continued in accordance with the Act;

 (e) the Incapacity or removal of 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(e) 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, effective as of the event that caused the General Partner to cease to be a general partner of the Partnership, within 120 days following the occurrence of any such event, which consent shall be deemed (and if requested each Limited
Partner shall provide a written consent or ratification) to have been given for all Limited Partners if the holders of more than 50% of the Vested Units then outstanding agree in writing to so continue the business of the Partnership; or 

(f) the determination of the General Partner in its sole discretion; provided that in the event of a dissolution
pursuant to this clause (f), the relative economic rights of each Class of Units immediately prior to such dissolution shall be preserved to the greatest extent practicable with respect to distributions made to Partners pursuant to Section 9.03
below in connection with the winding up of the Partnership, taking into consideration tax and other legal constraints that may adversely affect one or more parties hereto and subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, unless, and to
the extent that, with respect to any Class of Units, holders of not less than 90% of the Units of such Class consent in writing to a treatment other than as described above. 

  
 27 

 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 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, and including the establishment of any reserve which the Liquidation Agent shall deem reasonably necessary for any contingent, conditional or unmatured contractual liabilities or obligations of the Partnership
(“Contingencies”). Any such reserve may be paid over by the Liquidation Agent to any attorney-at-law, or acceptable party, as escrow agent, to be held for disbursement in payment of any Contingencies and, at the expiration of such
period as shall be deemed advisable by the Liquidation Agent for distribution of the balance in the manner hereinafter provided in this Section 9.03; and 
 (b) The balance, if any, to the holders of Units, pro rata to each of the holders of Units in accordance with their Total Percentage Interests. 

SECTION 9.04. Time for Liquidation. A reasonable amount of time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of
the Partnership and the discharge of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Liquidation Agent to minimize the losses attendant upon such liquidation. 
 SECTION 9.05. Termination. The Partnership shall terminate when all of the assets of the Partnership, after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the
Partnership, shall have been distributed to the holders of Units in the manner provided for in this Article IX, and the relevant declaration has been filed under the Act. 
 SECTION 9.06. Claims of the Partners. The Partners shall look solely to the Partnership’s assets for the return of their Capital Contributions, and if the assets of the Partnership
remaining after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership are insufficient to return such Capital Contributions, the Partners shall have no recourse against the Partnership or any other Partner or any
other Person. No Partner with a negative balance in such Partner’s Capital Account shall have any obligation to the Partnership or to the other Partners or to any creditor or other Person to restore such negative balance during the existence of
the Partnership, upon dissolution or termination of the Partnership or otherwise, except to the extent required by the Act. 

  
 28 

 SECTION 9.07. Survival of Certain Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of Sections 10.02, 11.09 and 11.10 shall survive the termination of the Partnership. 

ARTICLE X 

LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION 
 SECTION 10.01. Liability of Partners. 
 (a) No Limited Partner and no
Affiliate, manager, member, employee or agent of a 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, except to the extent required by the Act. 
 (b) This Agreement is not intended
to, and does not, create or impose any duty (including any fiduciary duty) on any of the Partners (including without limitation, the General Partner) hereto or on their respective Affiliates. Further, the Partners hereby waive any and all duties
(including fiduciary duties) that, absent such waiver, may exist at or be implied by Law or in equity, and in doing so, recognize, acknowledge and agree that their duties and obligations to one another and to the Partnership are only as expressly
set forth in this Agreement and those required by the Act. 
 (c) To the extent that, at law or in equity, any Partner
(including without limitation, the General Partner) has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership, to another Partner or to another Person who is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement, the
Partners (including without limitation, the General Partner) acting under this Agreement will not be liable to the Partnership, to any such other Partner or to any such other Person who is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement, for
their good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities relating thereto of any Partner (including without limitation, the General
Partner) otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace to that extent such other duties and liabilities of the Partners relating thereto (including without limitation, the General Partner). 

(d) The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants and financial or other advisors and any act or omission suffered or
taken by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or in furtherance of the interests of the Partnership in good faith in reliance upon and in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or financial or other advisors will 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) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise applicable provision of law or equity, whenever in this Agreement
the General Partner is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, such General Partner shall be entitled to consider only such
interests and factors as it 

  
 29 

 
desires, including its own interests, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting
the Partnership or the Limited Partners, or (ii) in its “good faith” or under another expressed standard, such General Partner shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards.

 SECTION 10.02. Indemnification. 
 (a) Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, as the same exists or hereafter be amended (but in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the
Partnership to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Partnership to provide prior to such amendment), the Partnership shall indemnify any Indemnitee 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, arbitrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal,
including appeals, by reason of his or her or its status as an Indemnitee or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted to be taken by Indemnitee in such capacity, for and against all loss and liability suffered and expenses
(including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, including appeals; provided that such Indemnitee shall not be
entitled to indemnification hereunder if, but only to the extent that, such Indemnitee’s conduct constituted fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.02(c),
the Partnership shall be required to indemnify an Indemnitee in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) (i) commenced by such Indemnitee only if the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) by
such Indemnitee was authorized by the General Partner and (ii) by or in the right of the Partnership only if the General Partner has provided its prior written consent. The indemnification of an Indemnitee of the type identified in clause
(d) of the definition of Indemnitee shall be secondary to any and all indemnification to which such Indemnitee is entitled from (x) the relevant other Person (including any payment made to such Indemnitee under any insurance policy issued
to or for the benefit of such Person or Indemnitee), and (y) the relevant Fund (if applicable) (including any payment made to such Indemnitee under any insurance policy issued to or for the benefit of such Fund or the Indemnitee) (clauses
(x) and (y) together, the “Primary Indemnification”), and will only be paid to the extent the Primary Indemnification is not paid and/or does not provide coverage (e.g., a self-insured retention amount under an insurance policy).
No such Person or Fund shall be entitled to contribution or indemnification from or subrogation against the Partnership. The indemnification of any other Indemnitiee shall, to the extent not in conflict with such policy, be secondary to any and all
payment to which such Indemnitee is entitled from any relevant insurance policy issued to or for the benefit of the Partnership or any Indemnitee. “Fund” means any fund, investment vehicle or account whose investments are managed or
advised by the Issuer (if any) or its affiliates. 
 (b) Advancement of Expenses. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
the Partnership shall promptly pay expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined 

  
 30 

 
that such Indemnitee 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 an Indemnitee in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) (i) commenced by such Indemnitee only if the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding (or part
thereof) by such Indemnitee was authorized by the General Partner and (ii) by or in the right of the Partnership only if the General Partner has provided its prior written consent. 

(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 30 days after a written claim therefor by any Indemnitee has been received by the Partnership, such Indemnitee may file proceedings 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 Indemnitee is not entitled to the requested
indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable Law. 
 (d) Insurance. (i) 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. 
 (ii) In the event of any
payment by the Partnership under this Section 10.02, the Partnership shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee from any relevant other Person or under any insurance policy issued to or
for the benefit of the Partnership, such relevant other Person, or any Indemnitee. Each Indemnitee agrees to execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as are necessary
to enable the Partnership to bring suit to enforce any such rights in accordance with the terms of such insurance policy or other relevant document. The Partnership shall pay or reimburse all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the
Indemnitee in connection with such subrogation. 
 (iii) The Partnership shall not be liable under this Section 10.02 to
make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, and excise taxes with respect to an employee benefit plan or penalties) if and to the extent that the
applicable Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under this Section 10.02 or any insurance policy, contract, agreement 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 

  
 31 

 
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 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).

otherwise agree in writing, any claims, suits, actions or proceedings arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or any interest in the Partnership (including, without limitation, any claims, suits or actions under or to interpret,
apply or enforce (A) the provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation the validity, scope or enforceability of this Section 11.10(a) or the arbitrability of any Dispute (as defined below), (B) the duties, obligations or

whether such Disputes (x) sound in contract, tort, fraud or otherwise, (y) are based on common law, statutory, equitable, legal or other grounds, or (z) are derivative or direct claims)) (a “Dispute”) shall be finally
settled by arbitration conducted by three arbitrators (or, in the event the amount of quantified claims and/or estimated monetary value of other claims contained in the applicable request for arbitration is less than $3.0 million, by a sole
arbitrator) in Wilmington, Delaware in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (including the rules relating to costs and fees) existing on the date of this Agreement except to the extent those rules are
inconsistent with the terms of this Section 11.10, and that such arbitration shall be the 

  
 34 

 
exclusive manner pursuant to which any Dispute shall be resolved; (ii) agrees that this Agreement involves commerce and is governed by any applicable treaties governing the recognition and

arbitration pursuant to this Section 11.10 and any right to lay claim to jurisdiction in any venue; (v) agrees that (A) the arbitrator(s) shall be U.S. lawyers, U.S. law professors and/or retired U.S. judges and all arbitrators,
including the president of the arbitral tribunal, may be U.S. nationals and (B) the arbitrator(s) shall conduct the proceedings in the English language; (vi) agrees that except as required by law (including any disclosure requirement to
which the Partnership may be subject under any securities law, rule or regulation or applicable securities exchange rule or requirement) or as may be reasonably required in connection with ancillary judicial proceedings to compel arbitration, to
obtain temporary or preliminary judicial relief in aid of arbitration, or to confirm or challenge an arbitration award, the arbitration proceedings, including any hearings, shall be confidential, and the parties shall not disclose any awards, any
materials in the proceedings created for the purpose of the arbitration, or any documents produced by another party in the proceedings not otherwise in the public domain; (vii) irrevocably agrees that, unless the General Partner and the
relevant named party or parties shall otherwise mutually agree in writing, (A) the arbitrator(s) may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief
warranted by that party’s individual claim, (B) SUCH CONSENTING PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER, OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS
OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, and (C) the arbitrator(s) may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and shall not have authority otherwise to preside over any form of a representative or class or consolidated proceeding or entertain
any claim on behalf of a person who is not a named party, nor shall any arbitrator have authority to make any award for the benefit of, or against, any person who is not a named party; and (viii) agrees that if a Dispute that would be

such employee, officer, director, agent or indemnitee) for alleged actions or omissions of such employee, officer, director, agent or indemnitee undertaken as an employee, officer, director, agent or indemnitee of such Consenting Party or its
Affiliates, such employee, officer, director, agent or indemnitee shall be entitled to invoke this arbitration agreement. Notwithstanding Section 11.01, each provision of this Section 11.10(a) shall be deemed material, and shall not be
severable and this Section 11.10(a) shall be enforced only in its entirety. Performance under this Agreement shall continue if reasonably possible during any arbitration proceedings. 

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), any Consenting Party may bring an action or special proceeding for the purpose of
compelling a party to arbitrate, seeking temporary or preliminary relief in aid of an arbitration hereunder, or enforcing an arbitration award and, for the purposes of this paragraph (b), each Consenting Party (i) irrevocably agrees that,
unless the General Partner consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, any such action or special proceeding shall be exclusively brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware

  
 35

exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in connection with any such action or special proceeding; (iii) irrevocably agrees not to, and waives any right to, assert in any such action or special proceeding that (A) it is not personally subject
to the jurisdiction of such courts or any other court to which proceedings in such courts may be appealed, (B) such action or special proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, or (C) the venue of such action or special proceeding is
improper; (iv) expressly waives any requirement for the posting of a bond by a party bringing such action or special proceeding; (v) consents to process being served in any such action or special proceeding by mailing, certified mail,
return receipt requested, a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices hereunder, and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof; provided that nothing in clause
(v) hereof shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law; (VI) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH CLAIM, SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING; and (vii) 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. 
 (c) If the arbitrator(s) shall determine that any Dispute is not subject to arbitration, or the arbitrator(s) or any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction shall refuse to enforce any provision of
Section 11.10(a) or shall determine that any Dispute is not subject to arbitration as contemplated thereby, then, and only then, shall the alternative provisions of this Section 11.10(c) be applicable. Each Consenting Party, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, (i) irrevocably agrees that unless the General Partner consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, any Dispute shall be exclusively brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such
court does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, any other court located in the State of Delaware with subject matter jurisdiction over such Dispute; (ii) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in connection
with any such claim, suit, action or proceeding; (iii) irrevocably agrees not to, and waives any right to, assert in any such claim, suit, action or proceeding that (A) it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts or any
other court to which proceedings in such courts may be appealed, (B) such claim, suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, or (C) the venue of such claim, suit, action or proceeding is improper; (iv) expressly
waives any requirement for the posting of a bond by a party bringing such claim, suit, action or proceeding; (v) consents to process being served in any such claim, suit, action or proceeding by mailing, certified mail, return receipt
requested, a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices hereunder, and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof; provided that nothing in clause (v) hereof shall
affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law; and (VI) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH CLAIM, SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING; AND (vii) 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. 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. 
 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.

  
 36 

 SECTION 11.12. Amendments and Waivers. (a) This Agreement (including the
Annexes hereto) may be amended, supplemented, waived or modified by the General Partner in its sole discretion without the approval of any Limited Partner or other Person; provided that no amendment may (i) materially and adversely
affect the rights of a holder of Units, as such, other than on a pro rata basis with other holders of Units of the same Class without the consent of such holder (or, if there is more than one such holder that is so affected, without the consent of a
majority in interest of such affected holders in accordance with their holdings of such Class of Units), (ii) materially and adversely affect the rights of a Mubadala Holder without the prior written consent of such Mubadala Holder, or
(iii) materially and adversely affect the rights of CalPERS without the prior written consent of CalPERS; provided further, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 necessary or appropriate in connection with the creation, authorization or issuance of Units or any Class or series of equity interest in the Partnership
pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof; (ii) the admission, substitution, withdrawal or removal of Partners in accordance with this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof; (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 in
its sole discretion to be necessary or appropriate to address changes in U.S. federal income tax regulations, legislation or interpretation; and/or (v) a change in the Fiscal Year or taxable year of the Partnership and any other changes that
the General Partner determines to be necessary or appropriate as a result of a change in the Fiscal Year or taxable year of the Partnership including a change in the dates on which distributions are to be made by the Partnership. If an amendment has
been approved in accordance with this agreement, such amendment shall be adopted and effective with respect to all Partners. Upon obtaining such approvals as may be required by this Agreement, and without further action or execution on the part of
any other Partner or other Person, any amendment to this Agreement may be implemented and reflected in a writing executed solely by the General Partner and the Limited Partners shall be deemed a party to and bound by such amendment. 

(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 (or interest in an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) 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 comply with 

  
 37 

 
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 (or interest in an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) 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 (other than pursuant to Section 10.02
hereof); provided, however that each employee, officer, director, agent or indemnitee of any Consenting Party or its Affiliates is an intended third party beneficiary of Section 11.10(a) and shall be entitled to enforce its rights thereunder.

 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.

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 of limited partnership of the Partnership 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 (including the provisions of
Section 8.04) 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 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. 

  
 38 

 SECTION 11.16. Separate Agreements; Schedules. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, including Section 11.12, the General Partner may, or may cause the Partnership to, without the approval of any Limited Partner or other Person, enter into separate subscription, letter or other agreements with
individual Limited Partners with respect to any matter, which have the effect of establishing rights under, or altering, supplementing or amending the terms of, this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that any terms contained in any such separate
agreement shall govern with respect to such Limited Partner(s) party thereto notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement. The General Partner may from time to time execute and deliver to the Limited Partners schedules which set forth
information contained in the books and records of the Partnership and any other matters deemed appropriate by the General Partner. Such schedules shall be for information purposes only and shall not be deemed to be part of this Agreement for any
purpose whatsoever. 
 SECTION 11.17. Partnership Status. The parties intend to treat the Partnership as a
partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 
 SECTION 11.18. Delivery by Facsimile or Email. This Agreement,
the agreements referred to herein, and each other agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a
facsimile machine or email with scan or facsimile attachment, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version
thereof delivered in person. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or email to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated
through the use of a facsimile machine or email as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense.

Covered Persons become available for exchange for Common Units pursuant to the terms of the Carlyle Holdings Partnership Agreements and the Exchange Agreement and cause to be declared effective under the Securities Act by the SEC promptly
thereafter, one or more registration statements (the “Exchange Registration”) covering (i) the delivery by the Partnership or its subsidiaries, from time to time, to the Covered Persons of Common Units registered under

  
 4 

 
the Securities Act in exchange for such Carlyle Holdings Partnership Units or (ii) if the Partnership determines that the registration provided for in clause (i) is not available for
any reason, the registration of resale of such Common Units by the Covered Persons. 
 (b) The Partnership shall be liable for
and pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Exchange Registration, regardless of whether such registration is effected. 
 (c) Upon notice to each Covered Person participating in any Exchange Registration, the Partnership may postpone effecting a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 for a reasonable time specified
in the notice but not exceeding 120 days in the aggregate (which period may not be extended or renewed), if (i) the General Partner shall determine in good faith that effecting the registration would materially and adversely affect an offering
of securities of the Partnership the preparation of which had then been commenced or (ii) the Partnership is in possession of material non-public information the disclosure of which during the period specified in such notice the General Partner
believes in good faith would not be in the best interests of the Partnership. 
 Section 2.2. Demand Registration (a) .If
at any time the Partnership shall receive a written request (a “Demand Notice”) from TCG Partners that the Partnership effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities specified in
the Demand Notice (a “Demand Registration”), specifying the information set forth under Section 2.5(j), then the Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable,
subject to paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 2.2, the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities for which TCG Partners has requested registration under this Section 2.2, all to the extent necessary
to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so to be registered. 
 (b) At any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to such registration, TCG Partners may revoke such Demand Registration request by providing a notice to the Partnership
revoking such request. The Partnership shall be liable for and pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Demand Registration. 
 (c) If the sole or managing underwriter of a Demand Registration advises the Partnership and TCG Partners that in its opinion the number of Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be
included exceeds the largest number of Registrable Securities and other securities which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the securities being offered, the price that will be paid in such offering or the
marketability thereof (the “Maximum Offering Size”), the Partnership shall include in such registration, in the priority listed below, up to the Maximum Offering Size: 

(i) first, all Registrable Securities requested to be registered in the Demand Registration by TCG Partners (allocated, if
necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, in such proportions as shall be determined by TCG Partners); 
 (ii) second, any securities proposed to be registered by the Partnership for its own account and any securities entitled to Other Registration Rights requested to be

  
 5 

 
registered by the holders thereof, ratably among the Partnership and the holders of such Other Registration Rights, based (A) as between the Partnership and the holders of such Other
Registration Rights, on the respective amounts of securities requested to be registered, and (B) as among the holders of such Other Registration Rights, on the respective amounts of securities subject to such Other Registration Rights held by
each such holder. 
 (d) Upon notice to TCG Partners, the Partnership may postpone effecting a registration pursuant to this
Section 2.2 for a reasonable time specified in the notice but not exceeding 120 days in the aggregate (which period may not be extended or renewed), if (i) the General Partner shall determine in good faith that effecting the registration
would materially and adversely affect an offering of securities of the Partnership the preparation of which had then been commenced or (ii) the Partnership is in possession of material non-public information the disclosure of which during the
period specified in such notice the General Partner believes in good faith would not be in the best interests of the Partnership. 
 Section 2.3. Piggyback Registration. (a) Subject to any contractual obligations to the contrary, if the Partnership proposes at any time to register any of the equity securities issued by it
under the Securities Act (other than an Exchange Registration or a registration on Form S-8 or Form S-4, or any successor forms, relating to Common Units issuable in connection with any employee benefit or similar plan of the Partnership or in
connection with a direct or indirect acquisition by the Partnership of another person or as a recapitalization or reclassification of securities of the Partnership), whether or not for sale for its own account, the Partnership shall each such time
give prompt notice at least 15 business days prior to the anticipated filing date of the registration statement relating to such registration to TCG Partners, which notice shall offer TCG Partners the opportunity to elect to include in such
registration statement the number of Registrable Securities of the same class or series as those proposed to be registered held by Covered Persons as TCG Partners may request (a “Piggyback Registration”), subject to the provisions
of Section 2.3(b). If TCG Partners elects to effect a Piggyback Registration, the Partnership shall give notice of the registration statement relating to such registration to those Covered Persons who TCG Partners determines to afford
participation in the Piggyback Registration. Upon the request of TCG Partners, the Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Partnership has
been so requested to register by TCG Partners, to the extent necessary to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities to be so registered, provided that (i) if such registration involves an underwritten Public Offering, all such
Covered Persons to be included in the Partnership’s registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected by the Partnership on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Partnership or any other selling person, as
applicable, and (ii) if, at any time after giving notice of its intention to register any securities pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration,
the Partnership shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Partnership shall give notice of such determination to each holder of such Registrable Securities and, thereupon shall be relieved of its
obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration, or shall be permitted to delay registration of such securities, as the case may be. No registration effected under this Section 2.3 shall relieve the
Partnership of its obligations to effect an Exchange Registration or Demand Registration to the extent required by Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, respectively. The Partnership shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each
Piggyback Registration. 

  
 6 

 (b) Subject to Section 2.2(c) and any other contractual obligations to the contrary, if
a Piggyback Registration involves an underwritten Public Offering and the managing or sole underwriter advises the Partnership that, in its view, the number of Registrable Securities that the Partnership and such Covered Persons intend to include in
such registration exceeds the Maximum Offering Size, the Partnership shall include in such registration, in the following priority, up to the Maximum Offering Size: 

(i) first, (A) any securities proposed to be registered by the Partnership for its own account (in the case of
Piggyback Registrations in respect of such transactions) or (B) any securities proposed to be registered pursuant to any demand registration rights of the holders of Other Registration Rights (in the case of Piggyback Registrations in respect
of such transactions); 
 (ii) second, any securities to be registered by the Partnership for its own account (in
the case of Piggyback Registrations in respect of transactions described in 2.3(b)(i)(B)), and any Registrable Securities and Partnership securities entitled to Other Registration Rights that are pari passu with Registrable Securities, in
each case, requested to be registered by the holders thereof, ratably among the Partnership (if applicable), the holders of Registrable Securities and securities subject to such Other Registration Rights based (A) as between the Partnership and
such holders requesting registration (if applicable), on the respective amounts of securities requested to be registered, and (B) as among the holders requesting registration, on the respective amounts of Registrable Securities and securities
subject to such Other Registration Rights, as the case may be, held by each such holder; and 
 (iii) third, any
securities proposed to be registered for the account of any other persons with such priorities among them as the Partnership shall determine. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement, no provision relating to the registration of Registrable Securities shall be construed as permitting any Covered
Person to effect a transfer of securities that is otherwise prohibited by the terms of any agreement between such Covered Person and the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries. Unless the Partnership shall otherwise consent, the Partnership shall
not be obligated to provide notice or afford Piggyback Registration to TCG Partners or any Covered Person pursuant to this Section 2.3 unless some or all of such person’s Registrable Securities are permitted to be transferred under the
terms of applicable agreements between such person and the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries. 
 (d) Upon delivering a
request under this Section 2.3, a Covered Person will, if requested by the Partnership, execute and deliver a custody agreement and power of attorney in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Partnership with respect to such Covered
Person’s Securities to be registered pursuant to this Section 2.3 (a “Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney”). The Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney will provide, among other things, that the Covered Person will
deliver to and deposit in custody with the custodian and 

  
 7 

 
attorney-in-fact named therein a certificate or certificates representing such Securities (duly endorsed in blank by the registered owner or owners thereof or accompanied by duly executed stock
powers in blank) and irrevocably appoint said custodian and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to act under the Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney on such Covered Person’s behalf with respect to the matters specified therein.
Such Covered Person also agrees to execute such other agreements as the Company may reasonably request to further evidence the provisions of this Section 2.3. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, after the time the Partnership has caused to become effective an Exchange Registration, covering all securities to be registered pursuant to
Section 2.1 hereof, and at any time that such Exchange Registration remains effective and available for use, any Covered Person who is not an “affiliate” of the Company for purposes of Rule 144 shall not have the right to participate
in such Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 2.3, except to the extent the securities to be registered and offered pursuant to such Piggyback Registration will be an underwritten offering 

Section 2.4. Lock-Up Agreements. The Partnership and each Covered Person agree that in connection with the Partnership’s
initial public offering of the Common Units (the “IPO”) and any Public Offering of Registrable Securities, the Partnership will not and each Covered Person, without the written consent of TCG Partners, will not (x) offer,
pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the securities
being registered or any securities convertible or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities or (y) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of
the securities being registered or any securities convertible or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities (except, in each case, as part of the IPO or such Public Offering of Registrable Securities, as the case may be), during the period (the
“Lock-Up Period”) beginning 14 days prior to the effective date of the applicable registration statement until the earlier of (i) such time as TCG Partners and the lead managing underwriter shall agree and (ii) 180 days
following the pricing of the IPO or such Public Offering of Registrable Securities, as the case may be. If (i) the Partnership issues an earnings release or discloses other material information or a material event relating to the Partnership
occurs during the last 17 days of the Lock-Up Period or (ii) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Partnership announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning upon the expiration of such period,
then to the extent necessary for a managing or co-managing underwriter of a registered offering required hereunder to comply with FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4), the Lock-Up Period will be extended until 18 days after the earnings release or disclosure of
other material information or the occurrence of the material event, as the case may be. 
 Section 2.5. Registration
Procedures. In connection with any request by TCG Partners that Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to Sections 2.2 or 2.3, subject to the provisions of such Sections, the paragraphs below shall be applicable, and in connection with
any Exchange Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, paragraphs (a), (c), (d), (e) and (l) below shall be applicable: 
 (a) The Partnership shall as expeditiously as reasonably practicable prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on any form for which the Partnership then qualifies or that counsel for the
Partnership shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the registration of the Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof, and use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such filed registration statement to become and remain effective for a period of not less than 40 days, or in the case of an Exchange Registration until all of the Registrable Securities of the Covered Persons included in any such
registration statement (each, a “Registering Covered Person”) shall have actually been exchanged thereunder. 

  
 8 

 (b) Prior to filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendment
or supplement thereto, the Partnership shall, if requested, furnish to each Registering Covered Person and each underwriter, if any, of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement copies of such registration statement as
proposed to be filed, and thereafter the Partnership shall furnish to such Registering Covered Person and underwriter, if any, such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all
exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 or Rule 430A
under the Securities Act and such other documents as such Registering Covered Person or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Registering Covered Person. The Registering
Covered Person shall have the right to request that the Partnership modify any information contained in such registration statement, amendment and supplement thereto pertaining to such Registering Covered Person and the Partnership shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such request, provided, however, that the Partnership shall not have any obligation to so modify any information if the Partnership reasonably expects that so doing would cause the prospectus to contain
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. 

(c) After the filing of the registration statement, the Partnership shall (i) cause the related prospectus to be
supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and, as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, (ii) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Registering Covered Person thereof set forth in such registration statement or supplement to such prospectus
and (iii) promptly notify each Registering Covered Person holding Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement of any stop order issued or threatened by the SEC suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or any
state securities commission and take all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the entry of such stop order or to obtain the withdrawal of such order if entered. 

  
 9 

 (d) To the extent any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in
Rule 405 under the Securities Act) is used, the Partnership shall file with the SEC any free writing prospectus that is required to be filed by the Partnership with the SEC in accordance with the Securities Act and retain any free writing prospectus
not required to be filed. 
 (e) The Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
(i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any Registering Covered Person holding such
Registrable Securities or each underwriter, if any, reasonably (in light of such member’s intended plan of distribution) requests and (ii) cause such Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental
agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Partnership and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Registering Covered Person to consummate
the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such person, provided that the Partnership shall not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this
Section 2.5(e), (B) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (C) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction. 
 (f) The Partnership shall immediately notify each Registering Covered Person holding such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement or each underwriter, if any, at any time when a
prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such
Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and promptly prepare and make
available to each such Registering Covered Person or underwriter, if any, and file with the SEC any such supplement or amendment. 
 (g) TCG Partners shall select an underwriter or underwriters in connection with any Public Offering. In connection with any Public Offering, the Partnership shall enter into customary agreements
(including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such all other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in any such Public Offering, including if necessary
the engagement of a “qualified independent underwriter” in connection with the qualification of the underwriting arrangements with FINRA. 
 (h) Subject to the execution of confidentiality agreements satisfactory in form and substance to the Partnership in the exercise of its good faith judgment, pursuant to the reasonable request of TCG
Partners or underwriter (if any), the Partnership will give to each Registering Covered Person, each underwriter (if any) and their respective counsel and accountants (i) reasonable and customary access to its books and records and
(ii) such opportunities to discuss the business of the Partnership with its directors, officers, employees, counsel and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements, as shall be appropriate, in the reasonable
judgment of counsel to such Registering Covered Person or underwriter, to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility. 

  
 10 

 (i) The Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish
to each Registering Covered Person and to each such underwriter, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to such person or underwriter, of (i) an opinion or opinions of counsel to the Partnership and (ii) a comfort letter or comfort
letters from the Partnership’s independent public accountants, each in customary form and covering such matters of the kind customarily covered by opinions or comfort letters, as the case may be, as TCG Partners or such underwriter reasonably
requests. 
 (j) Each Registering Covered Person registering securities under Sections 2.2 or 2.3 shall promptly
furnish in writing to the Partnership the information set forth in Appendix A and such other information regarding itself, the distribution of the Registrable Securities as the Partnership may from time to time reasonably request and such other
information as may be legally required or advisable in connection with such registration. 
 (k) Each Registering
Covered Person and each underwriter, if any, agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Partnership of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.5(f), such Registering Covered Person or underwriter shall forthwith
discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Registering Covered Person’s or underwriter’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by Section 2.5(f), provided, however, that, upon written notice to each Registering Covered Person and each underwriter, if any, and for a reasonable time specified in the notice but not exceeding 60 days thereafter or
90 days in any 365 day period (the “Suspension Period”), the Partnership may suspend the use or effectiveness of any registration statement if the General Partner determines, in its sole discretion, that the Partnership is in
possession of material non-public information the disclosure of which during the period specified in such notice the General Partner believes in good faith would not be in the best interests of the Partnership; and, if so directed by the
Partnership, such Registering Covered Person or underwriter shall deliver to the Partnership all copies, other than any permanent file copies then in such Registering Covered Person’s possession, of the most recent prospectus covering such
Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. If the Partnership shall give such notice, the Partnership shall extend the period during which such registration statement shall be maintained effective (including the period referred to
in Section 2.5(a)) by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of notice pursuant to Section 2.5(f) to the date when the Partnership shall make available to such Registering Covered Person a prospectus
supplemented or amended to conform with the requirements of Section 2.5(f). 
 (l) The Partnership shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to list all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement on any securities exchange or quotation system on which any of the Registrable Securities are then listed or traded. 

  
 11 

 (m) The Partnership shall have appropriate officers of the General Partner,
the Partnership or the Carlyle Holdings Partnerships (i) prepare and make presentations at any “road shows” and before analysts and rating agencies, as the case may be, (ii) take other actions to obtain ratings for any
Registrable Securities and (iii) otherwise use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate as reasonably requested by the underwriters in the offering, marketing or selling of the Registrable Securities. 

(n) The Partnership shall cooperate with the Registering Covered Persons to facilitate the timely delivery of Registrable
Securities to be sold, which shall not bear any restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be issued in such denominations and registered in such names as such Registering Covered Persons may reasonably request at least two
business days prior to the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities. 
 Section 2.6. Indemnification by the
Partnership. In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities of the Partnership under the Securities Act pursuant to this Article II, the Partnership will, and it hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted
by law, a Registering Covered Person, each affiliate of such Registering Covered Person and their respective directors and officers or general and limited partners or members and managing members (including any director, officer, affiliate,
employee, agent and controlling person of any of the foregoing) and each other person, if any, who controls such Registering Covered Person within the meaning of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred),
joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto under which such Registrable Securities
were registered or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or (2) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any prospectus, any free writing prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act in respect of the Registrable Securities, or amendment or
supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that the Partnership
shall not be liable to any Registering Covered Person or other Indemnified Party in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, prospectus, any free writing prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d)
under the Securities Act in respect of the Registrable Securities, or amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding a Registering Covered Person furnished to the Partnership by such
Registering Covered Person or other Indemnified Party with respect to such seller or any underwriter specifically for use in the preparation thereof. 
 Section 2.7. Indemnification by Registering Covered Persons. Each Registering Covered Person hereby indemnifies and holds harmless, and the Partnership may require, as a 

  
 12 

 
condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed in accordance with this Article II, that the Partnership shall have received an undertaking reasonably
satisfactory to it from any underwriter to indemnify and hold harmless, the Partnership and all other prospective sellers of Registrable Securities, the directors of the General Partner, each officer of the General Partner or the Partnership who
signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Partnership and all other prospective sellers of Registrable Securities within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to
the same extent as the indemnity set forth in Section 2.6 above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission
made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership with respect to such seller or any underwriter specifically for use in the preparation of such registration statement, prospectus, any free writing
prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act in respect of the Registrable Securities, or amendment or supplement thereto. Such indemnity shall remain in full force
and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Partnership, any of the Registering Covered Persons or any underwriter, or any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers or controlling persons and shall survive the
transfer of such securities by such person. In no event shall any such indemnification liability of any Registering Covered Person be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such Registering Covered Person upon the sale
of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. 
 Section 2.8. Conduct of Indemnification
Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party hereunder of written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Article II, such Indemnified
Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall
not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article II, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. 

In case any such action is brought against an Indemnified Party, unless in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict
of interest between such Indemnified Party and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party
will not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. It is understood and agreed that the indemnifying
person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties, and that all such
fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm (x) for any Covered Person, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Indemnified Party shall be designated in writing by TCG
Partners, (y) in all other cases shall be designated in writing by the General Partner. The indemnifying person shall not be liable for any settlement of 

  
 13 

 
any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying person agrees to indemnify each
Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in
respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act
by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. 
 Section 2.9. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this
Article II from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified
Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and
Indemnified Parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and Indemnified Parties
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to
information supplied by, such indemnifying party or Indemnified Parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party under this
Section 2.9 as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or
proceeding. 
 The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 2.9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

Section 2.10. Participation in Public Offering. No Covered Person may participate in any Public Offering hereunder unless such
Covered Person (a) agrees to sell such Covered Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Covered Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes
all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and the provisions of this Agreement in respect of registration rights.

 Section 2.11. Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified herein (with appropriate modifications)
shall be given by the Partnership and the Registering Covered 

  
 14 

 
Person participating therein with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any federal or state law or regulation or Governmental Authority other than the
Securities Act. 
 Section 2.12. Cooperation by the Partnership. If the Covered Person shall transfer any Registrable
Securities pursuant to Rule 144, the Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Covered Person and shall provide to the Covered Person such information as may be required to be provided under Rule 144.

 Section 2.13. Parties in Interest. Each Covered Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits of this Agreement and
shall be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement by reason of such Covered Person’s election to participate in a registration under this Article II. To the extent Carlyle Holdings Partnership Units are effectively transferred in
accordance with the terms of the Carlyle Holdings Partnership Agreements, the transferee of such Carlyle Holdings Partnership Units shall be entitled to receive the benefits of this Agreement and shall be bound by the terms and provisions of this
Agreement upon becoming bound hereby pursuant to Section 3.1(c). 
 Section 2.14. Acknowledgement Regarding the
Partnership. Other than those determinations reserved expressly to TCG Partners, all determinations necessary or advisable under this Article II shall be made by the General Partner, the determinations of which shall be final and binding.

 ARTICLE III 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 Section 3.1. Term of the Agreement; Termination of Certain
Provisions; Amendment. (a) The term of this Agreement shall continue until the first to occur of (i) such time as no Covered Person holds any Covered Carlyle Holdings Partnership Units or Registrable Securities and (ii) such time
as the Agreement is terminated by the Partnership and TCG Partners. This Agreement may be amended only with the consent of the Partnership and TCG Partners. 
 (b) Unless this Agreement is theretofore terminated pursuant to Section 3.1(a) hereof, a Covered Person shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement with respect to any Covered Carlyle Holdings

this Agreement other than Sections 2.7, 2.8, 2.9 and 2.11 and this Article III. 
 (c) Any Permitted Transferee of a Covered
Person shall be entitled to become party to this agreement as a Covered Person; provided, that, such Permitted Transferee shall first sign an agreement in the form approved by the Partnership acknowledging that such Permitted Transferee is bound by
the terms and provisions of the Agreement. To the extent that the Carlyle Holdings Partnerships issue Carlyle Holdings Partnership Units in the future, any holder of such Carlyle Holdings Partnership Units may be entitled, with the prior written
consent of the General Partner and TCG Partners, to become party to this agreement as a Covered Person; provided, that, such holder shall first sign an agreement in the form approved by the Partnership acknowledging that such holder is bound by the
terms and provisions of the Agreement.

determine that any Dispute is not subject to arbitration, or the arbitrator(s) or any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction shall refuse to enforce Section 3.3(a) or shall determine that any Dispute is not subject to arbitration as
contemplated thereby, then, and only then, shall the alternative provisions of this Section 3.3(c) be applicable. Each party hereto, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) irrevocably agrees that any Dispute shall be exclusively
