 AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP dated as of

 WHEREAS, HST GP Euro B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met
beperkte aansprakelijkheid) with its corporate seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, is the general partner of the Partnership. 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE 1 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 Section 1.01. Definitions; Interpretation.
(a) Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings assigned to them in Appendix A hereto.

reference to the next succeeding Business Day; 
 (vi) a reference to an agreement or other document is a reference to that
agreement or document as supplemented, amended or novated from time to time; 
 (vii) headings and titles are for convenience
only and do not affect the interpretation of this Agreement;

not apply and accordingly general words introduced by the word “other” shall not be given a restrictive meaning by reason of the fact that they are preceded by words indicating a particular class of acts, matters or things; 
 (ix) general words shall not be given a restrictive meaning by reason of the fact that they are followed by particular examples intended
to be embraced by the general words (and accordingly “including” means including without limitation); and 
 (x)

 Section 1.02. Partnership Name. The name of the Partnership is HHR Euro CV. 
 Section 1.03. Seat.
(a) The seat of the Partnership will be located in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. To the extent necessary, the parties declare that when the Partnership was formed, the center of its external activities (centrum van optreden naar
buiten) was located in the Netherlands. 
 (b) The address of the Partnership and of the General Partner shall be Rokin 55, 1012 KK
Amsterdam, The Netherlands, or such other place in The Netherlands as the General Partner shall determine in its discretion. If the General Partner shall determine to change its business address, it shall notify the Limited Partners in advance in
writing. 
 Section 1.04. Formation of the Partnership. The parties hereby agree to continue the Partnership as a limited
partnership (commanditaire vennootschap) under and pursuant to Dutch law. This Agreement amends and restates the 

  

 2 

 
Original Partnership Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2. Legal title to assets of the Partnership shall be formally held
(goederenrechtelijk) by the General Partner for the benefit of all the Partners. All Partners are beneficially entitled to the assets. This Agreement is to be construed such that the Partnership does not qualify as an open limited partnership
(open commanditaire vennootschap) as defined in article 2, paragraph 3, sub c of the General Tax Act (Algemene wet inzake rijksbelastingen). The Partnership is a closed limited partnership (besloten commanditaire vennootschap)
for Dutch tax purposes. 
 Section 1.05. Purposes of the Partnership. The purposes of the Partnership are (a) to identify
potential Partnership Investments, (b) to acquire, improve, maintain, hold, operate, manage, supervise, lease, finance, mortgage, pledge, exchange, divide, combine, sell, transfer, convey, assign, grant options with respect to, dispose of or
otherwise deal in and transact business with respect to Partnership Investments, (c) pending utilization or disbursement of funds, to invest such funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (d) to participate in and to otherwise
acquire or maintain an interest in the management of other business enterprises that deal in and transact business with respect to Real Estate Assets, (e) to provide financing to affiliates and third parties in connection with Real Estate
Assets, (f) to provide security, guaranty or otherwise undertake the obligations of third parties in connection with Real Estate Assets, and (g) to conduct all activities which are incidental to any of the foregoing. The Partnership shall
have the power to do any and all acts necessary, appropriate, desirable, incidental or convenient to or for the furtherance of the purposes described in this Section 1.05, including any and all of the powers that may be exercised on behalf of
the Partnership by the General Partner pursuant to this Agreement. 
 Section 1.06. Liability of the Partners Generally.
(a) The General Partner shall have unlimited liability to third parties for any and all liabilities of the Partnership as its general partner (beherend vennoot). All obligations of the Partnership to third parties shall be in the
General Partner’s name. 
 (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or under the CV Law, no Limited Partner (or former Limited
Partner) shall be obligated to make any contribution to the Partnership or have any liability for the debts and obligations of the Partnership. 
 (c) The General Partner shall at all times act in good faith and in the best interests of the Partnership. In managing the affairs of the Partnership, subject to the rights of the Limited Partners, and in its dealing with the Limited
Partners, the General Partner shall be subject to the standard of care a general partner is required to use with respect to a limited partnership and its limited partners under the CV Law, which standard of care shall include: (a) a duty of
loyalty, which requires the General Partner to carry out its responsibilities with 

  

 3 

 
loyalty, honesty, good faith and fairness toward the Partnership and the Limited Partners and (b) a duty of care, which requires the General Partner to
discharge its duties with the diligence, care and skill that a general partner would be required under the CV Law to exercise under similar circumstances, including actions with respect to the safekeeping of and use of all funds, assets and records
of the Partnership. Unless expressly stated otherwise, the standard of performance applicable to the General Partner as set forth in this Section 1.06(c) shall be applicable to the General Partner in performing its obligations under each
provision of this Agreement. The General Partner has not engaged and will not engage in any activities unrelated to the Partnership or the Partnership Investments. 
 Section 1.07. Admission of Limited Partners; Additional Limited Partners; Increase of Capital Commitments. (a) On the date of the Original Partnership Agreement, counterparts of the Original
Partnership Agreement were executed and delivered by (or, pursuant to a power of attorney, on behalf of) each of HST LP Euro B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) with its
corporate seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands (“Host”), Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP, a Dutch foundation (stichting) (“ABP”), and Jasmine Hotels Pte Ltd, a Singapore private company limited by shares
(“JHPL”), each such party’s subscription for a limited partner interest in the Partnership was accepted by the General Partner and approved by the Limited Partners, and each such party became a Limited Partner (and was shown as
such on the books and records of the Partnership). 
 (b) At any time, subject to the prior written unanimous consent of the Partners, the
General Partner may cause the Partnership to admit additional Limited Partners or to allow any existing Limited Partner to increase its original Capital Commitment, and in connection therewith, shall cause the value of the assets of the Partnership
to be determined pursuant to Section 11.02. The General Partner shall deliver to each Limited Partner a notice (a “NCP Notice”) setting forth (i) the value of the Partnership’s assets giving effect to the admission of
the New Commitment Partner or increase in Capital Commitment of an existing Limited Partner, minus the Partnership’s liabilities (the “Partnership Net Asset Value”), (ii) the amount of the Capital Contribution to be made
by the New Commitment Partner, and (iii) the resulting Capital Commitment, Investment Percentages, Commitment Percentages, Available Commitment Percentages, Capital Commitments and Capital Contributions taking into account the proposed
admission of an additional Limited Partner (or an increase in any existing Limited Partner’s Capital Commitment). The resulting Investment Percentage for the New Commitment Partner (defined below) is herein referred to as the “NCP
Investment Percentage”. ********* ************************************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************************************ *********************************************************************************************************** A Person shall become an
additional Limited Partner (and shall be shown as such on the books and records of the Partnership) upon execution and delivery by (or, pursuant to a power of attorney, on behalf of) such Person and the General Partner of counterparts of this
Agreement, subject to the terms of this Section 1.07. 
 (c) Any Limited Partner admitted to the Partnership pursuant to
Section 1.07(b) on any Closing Date other than the First Closing Date (and, including, other than in the case of a pro rata increase by all Limited Partners in their Commitments, any Limited Partner so increasing its Capital Commitment to the
extent of any increase in its Capital Commitment on any such subsequent Closing Date) (each such Limited Partner, a “New Commitment Partner”) shall: 
 (i) make a Capital Contribution in the amount set forth in the NCP Notice; 
 (ii) make a Capital Contribution in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions that would have been made by such New
Commitment Partner pursuant to Section 4.02(a) in respect of Organizational Expenses had such New Commitment Partner been admitted to the Partnership on the First Closing Date *****************
********************************************************************* 
 (iii) make a Capital Commitment equal to the Capital
Commitment set forth in the NCP Notice; 
 provided that, with respect to any New Commitment Partner that is a Limited Partner increasing its Capital
Commitment on such Closing Date, the amount payable by such New Commitment Partner pursuant to Section 1.07(c)(i) or 1.07(c)(ii) shall be decreased by the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions theretofore made by such New Commitment
Partner. 
 (d) The amount contributed by each New Commitment Partner pursuant to Section 1.07(c)(i) on any Closing Date other than the
First Closing Date shall not be available for distribution to the Partners until the second anniversary of such subsequent Closing Date but shall be available to the General Partner for application to Partnership Expenses and investment in
Partnership Investments. 
  

 5

distribute to the Limited Partners their pro rata share of the aggregate amounts contributed by the New Commitment Partners pursuant to Section 1.07(c)(ii) on such subsequent Closing Date. 
 (f) It is a condition to the admission of any New Commitment Partner that such New Commitment Partner shall be simultaneously admitted to the TRS CV
pursuant to the Corresponding Provision. 
 Section 1.08. Transparency. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, each Partner represents, as of the date hereof, that it is not an entity which is transparent for Dutch corporate income and dividend tax purposes and covenants that it will not transfer any interest to such an entity, it being agreed
that no partner in this Partnership may be an entity which is transparent for Dutch corporate income and dividend tax purposes. Each Partner agrees that in the event that, if, as a result of any change in Dutch tax law or otherwise, it may become or
becomes an entity that is transparent for Dutch corporate income and dividend tax purposes, it shall promptly take all necessary action to continue to be or become again non-transparent, including a transfer of its interest in the Partnership to a
wholly-owned entity that is non-transparent from a Dutch tax perspective. Prior to such transfer, the Partner shall consult with the General Partner and external Dutch tax counsel to review and confirm that this transfer does not cause the
Partnership to become non-transparent from a Dutch tax perspective, it being understood that such transfer is subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 2 
 MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS

Investments taken as a whole (without deduction for any debt to which such Investments are subject) based on the last annual appraisal; provided
further, if such 65% limit is exceeded, the Partners shall confer and agree on the course of action with respect to such debt.

 30

Section 2.13. 
 ARTICLE 5 
 CAPITAL COMMITMENTS AND CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS 
 Section 5.01. Capital Commitments. (a) Each Limited Partner hereby agrees to make Capital Contributions required to be made in respect of Partnership Investments and Partnership Expenses from time to time as hereinafter set
forth in this Article 5; provided that the applicable Drawdown Notice with respect to any Capital Contribution by a Limited Partner in respect of a Partnership Investment is delivered to such Limited Partner prior to the termination of the
Commitment Period, except that such Drawdown Notice may be delivered to such Limited Partner after the termination of the Commitment Period if such Drawdown Notice (A) relates to a Partnership Investment that the Partnership committed to make
prior to the termination of the Commitment 

  

 31 

 
Period as evidenced by a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement to invest or (B) relates to Follow-On Investments to the
extent such Follow-On Investments have been disclosed to and approved by the Limited Partners prior to the last day of the Commitment Period. The General Partner shall not deliver any Drawdown Notice until the First Closing Date other than with
respect to the payment of Organizational Expenses described in Section 4.02(a)(i). 
 (b) Host contributed to the Partnership
(x) all of its interest in and to the Poland Hotel Property, which contribution was effected through a transfer of the beneficial interest in HHR Warsaw B.V., and (y) the Poland Hotel Property Note, and in exchange therefore, Host received
a limited partner interest with a Capital Account equal to the Initial Hotel Property Price for the Poland Hotel Property plus the net asset value of HHR Warsaw B.V. equal to €18,151. Each of the General Partner and each Limited Partner hereby
consents to the admission of Host as Limited Partner. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, no Limited Partner shall
be required to make any Capital Contribution if, at the time such Capital Contribution is to be made, such Capital Contribution exceeds such Limited Partner’s then Available Capital Commitment. 
 (d) Subject to the unanimous consent of the Partners, the General Partner may extend the Commitment Period for ******** period, provided it shall
be a condition to any extension by a Limited Partner of the Commitment Period that such Limited Partner shall have simultaneously extended the commitment period under the Corresponding Provision. Subject to Section 10.03, a Limited Partner may
terminate the Commitment Period with respect to its Capital Commitment, ************************************ ***********************************************************************************************************
****************************************************************************** by notice to the General Partner (the “Commitment Period Termination Notice”), provided it shall be a condition to any termination by a Limited
Partner of the Commitment Period as described above that such Limited Partner shall have simultaneously terminated the commitment period of the TRS CV under the Corresponding Provision. 
 (e) The General Partner shall contribute to the Partnership the economic ownership of all shares or ownership interests in the capital of any
subsidiaries formed by it and receive credit for such contribution (as a deemed capital contribution) in an amount equal to the paid-up capital of each such direct subsidiary as well as the paid-up capital of any indirect subsidiaries. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with the financing of the Initial Hotel Properties, the Limited Partners acknowledge that the General Partner (A) formed HHR Euro Funding B.V., a private company with limited liability
(besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) with a corporate 

  

 32 

 
seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands (the “Original Dutch Subsidiary Shares”), (B) incorporated an additional subsidiary, HHR Euro
Holding B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) with its corporate seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands (“HHR Holding”), (C) contributed to the Partnership the
economic ownership of all shares in the share capital of HHR Holding, and (D) transferred the Original Dutch Subsidiary Shares to HHR Holding. For the avoidance of doubt, the General Partner shall be deemed to have contributed to the
Partnership the nominal issued and paid-up capital of HHR Euro Funding B.V., HHR Holding and of the following subsidiaries of HHR Euro Funding B.V.: HHR Italy B.V., HHR U.K. B.V. and HHR Spain B.V. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not
mean that the Original Dutch Subsidiary Shares, the shares in HHR Holding after the transfers referred to above, or the shares or interests in any other direct or indirect subsidiary will be legally owned by the Limited Partners. The Capital
Commitment of the General Partner at any time shall be equal to 0.100556% of the aggregate amount of the Capital Commitments of the Partners at such time. The Capital Commitment of the General Partner is set forth on Schedule A. 
 (f) The Capital Commitment of each Partner is set forth on Schedule A (it being understood and confirmed by all Partners that Schedule A is being amended
and restated to increase the Capital Commitments of the Partners, correct certain typographical errors and set forth unrounded Capital Commitments to the nearest Euro and the related unrounded Commitment Percentages). 
 (g) Host shall be permitted to reduce its initial Capital Commitment in accordance with Section 5.04. 
 Section 5.02. Drawdown Procedures. (a) Generally. Each Limited Partner shall make Capital Contributions in such amounts and at
such times as the General Partner shall specify in notices (“Drawdown Notices”) delivered from time to time to such Limited Partner. All Capital Contributions shall be paid to the Partnership in immediately available funds in Euros
(and/or U.S. Dollars with respect to the Initial Hotel Properties, as specifically set forth in Schedule A) by noon (Amsterdam time) on the date specified in the applicable Drawdown Notice (the “Drawdown Date”) which date shall be
at least ten (10) Business Days from and including the date of delivery of the Drawdown Notice. If any Limited Partner fails to pay by the Drawdown Date the required Capital Contribution to be made by such Limited Partner, the General Partner
shall provide notice of such failure to such Limited Partner on the Drawdown Date. Capital Contributions may include amounts that the General Partner determines, in its reasonable discretion, are necessary or desirable to establish reserves in
respect of Partnership Investments or Partnership Expenses. To the extent a Capital Contribution made under this Article 5 will cause a relative change (relative substitution) in the amount credited on the Limited Partners’ Capital Accounts,
the prior written unanimous consent of all Partners is required. 
  

 33 

 The Partners acknowledge and agree that their respective initial Capital Commitments as set forth on
Schedule A are denominated in U.S. Dollars and will be funded to the General Partner in U.S. Dollars, provided that ABP may, at its option elect to contribute its cash contribution in Euros notwithstanding that all or a portion of ABP’s Capital
Commitment is denominated in U.S. Dollars (any such actual contribution of Euros, being referred to as an “ABP Euro Exchanged Contribution”). With respect to any ABP Euro Exchanged Contribution, ABP agrees that it shall contribute
an amount of Euros sufficient for the General Partner to immediately exchange on such Drawdown Date for U.S. Dollars in the amount of the Drawdown for ABP (the “U.S. Dollar Equivalent Contribution Amount”). To the extent any
Drawdown Notice requires a Drawdown of a portion of a Limited Partner’s Available Capital Commitment that is denominated in U.S. Dollars, the Capital Contribution of U.S. Dollars by any Partner other than ABP and the U.S. Dollar Equivalent
Contribution Amount for ABP shall be deemed converted to Euros upon contribution to the Partnership using the exchange rate quoted on www.bloomberg.com as of the close of trading in New York on the closing date of the contribution to the Partnership
or the acquisition by the Partnership (as applicable) of the relevant Real Estate Asset (ie., May 3, 2006 for the contribution of the Poland Hotel Property and for the acquisition by the Partnership of Sheraton Skyline, Sheraton Roma, Westin
Palace Madrid and Westin Palace Milan and June 13, 2006 for the acquisition of Westin Europa & Regina), provided that, for purposes of determining the contributing Partner’s Available Capital Commitment, such contribution
shall be deemed converted to Euros upon contribution to the Partnership using the exchange rate of €1.00 to U.S. $1.195. 
 For the
avoidance of doubt, the Partners acknowledge that only the initial Capital Commitments (set forth in the first column of Schedule A) were denominated in U.S. Dollars and that as of the date of this Agreement, all remaining Capital Commitments are
denominated solely in Euros. 
 The General Partner shall make Capital Contributions in such amounts as hereinafter set forth in this Article
5 and at the same times and in the same manner as the Limited Partner who are required to make related Capital Contributions. 
 (b)
Regular Drawdowns. 
 (i) Drawdown Notices. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.02(c), each Drawdown
Notice for a Drawdown shall specify: 
 (A) the manner in which, and the expected date on which, such Drawdown is to be
applied; 
  

 34 

 (B) if all or any portion of such Drawdown is to be applied to make one or more
Partnership Investments, with respect to each proposed Partnership Investment, (w) the name and business description of the Person (if any) that is, directly or indirectly, the subject of such proposed Partnership Investment, (x) the
Investment Drawdown Amount in respect of such Partnership Investment, and, as provided in Section 5.02(a), whether such Capital Contribution shall be made in U.S. Dollars or Euros, (y) a description of the Real Estate Assets that are the
subject of such Investment and (z) the purpose of such Drawdown; 
 (C) if all or any portion of such Drawdown is to be
applied in respect of any Partnership Expenses, the Expenses Drawdown Amount; 
 (D) the required Capital Contribution to be
made by such Limited Partner; 
 (E) the Drawdown Date; and 
 (F) the Person and the account to which such Capital Contribution shall be paid. 
 (ii) Amount of Required Capital Contribution in Respect of Partnership Investments. 
 (A) As of the later to occur of the General Partner contributing to the Partnership the economic ownership of the shares in its
subsidiaries as described in Section 5.01(e) and Host contributing to the Partnership its interest in the Poland Hotel Property and the Poland Hotel Property Note pursuant to Section 5.01(b), the combined Investment Percentage for the
General Partner and Host was greater than 32.100556% (the “Host Optimal Investment Percentage”), however, as a result of subsequent Capital Contributions of the Limited Partners other than Host, subject to Section 5.02(c),
Host’s Investment Percentage has been reduced to equal the Host Optimal Investment Percentage. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence and Section 5.02(c), with respect to each Partnership Investment covered by any Drawdown, the
General Partner and each Limited Partner shall be required to make a Capital Contribution equal to the product of (x) such Person’s Available Commitment Percentage and (y) the Investment Drawdown Amount. 
  

 35 

 (B) With respect to each Follow-On Investment covered by any Drawdown, each Partner in
the original Partnership Investment to which such Follow-On Investment relates shall be required to make a Capital Contribution equal to the product of (x) such Partner’s Commitment Percentage in respect of such original Partnership
Investment and (y) the Investment Drawdown Amount in respect of such Follow-On Investment. 
 (iii) Amount of
Required Capital Contributions in Respect of Expenses. With respect to the portion of the Expenses Drawdown Amount to be applied to pay Partnership Expenses, each Partner (including the General Partner) shall be required to make a Capital
Contribution equal to the amount of such Partnership Expenses payable by such Partner as determined pursuant to Section 4.03. 
 (iv) Limitation on Drawdowns. ********************************************************************** ***************************************************************************************************
*************************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************************
*************************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************************
**************************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************************
**************************************************************************************************** ******************************************************************* 
 (c) Intentionally Omitted. 
 (d) Special Drawdowns. If, in connection with the making of any
Partnership Investment or the payment of any Partnership Investment Expense in respect of which a Drawdown Notice has been delivered, the General Partner shall determine, in its discretion, that it is necessary or desirable to increase the required
Capital Contribution to be made by any Limited Partner in connection therewith, the General Partner shall deliver an additional Drawdown Notice to such Limited Partner amending the original Drawdown Notice and specifying: 
 (i) the amount of any increase in any Investment Drawdown Amount or in the Expenses Drawdown Amount, as the case may be; 
  

 36 

 (ii) the amount of the increase in the required Capital Contribution to be made by such
Limited Partner; 
 (iii) the Drawdown Date with respect to the amount of the increase in the required Capital Contribution if
different from the Drawdown Date specified in the original Drawdown Notice; provided that the Drawdown Date with respect to the amount of such increase shall be at least ten Business Days after delivery of such additional Drawdown Notice; and

 (iv) the reason for such increase. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, the Partners agree that a Limited Partner shall never be required to make Capital Contributions pursuant to this Section 5.02(c) in excess of its then Available Capital Commitment. Any
increase in the required Capital Contribution of any Limited Partner pursuant to Section 5.03 shall be calculated in the manner set forth therein. Any increase in the required Capital Contribution of the General Partner and each Limited Partner
due to an increase in any Investment Drawdown Amount or the Expenses Drawdown Amount, as the case may be, specified in the original Drawdown Notice shall be calculated in accordance with Section 5.02(b)(ii) and Section 5.02(b)(iii) (after
giving effect to Section 5.03, as appropriate) with respect to the amount of such increase. 
 Section 5.03. Default by Limited
Partners. (a) Each of the General Partner and each Limited Partner agrees that time is of the essence as to the payment of its required Capital Contributions, that any Default by any Limited Partner would cause injury to the Partnership and
to the General Partner and the Limited Partners and that the amount of damages caused by any such injury would be extremely difficult to calculate. Accordingly, the amount of such Default (the “Default Amount”) shall accrue interest
commencing on the Drawdown Date at the Default Rate and ending on the date paid or contributed as a Default Contribution or loaned as a Total Drawdown Default Loan or Default Loan. Upon the occurrence of any Default, the General Partner shall
promptly notify the Limited Partner who has committed such Default (the “Defaulting Limited Partner”) of the occurrence of such Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the General Partner shall promptly notify all
Limited Partners other than the Defaulting Limited Partner (the “Non-Defaulting Limited Partners”) of the occurrence of such Event of Default and of the course or courses of action it is electing to take as provided below.

 (b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may elect to exercise one or more of the
following remedies: 
 (i) cause the Defaulting Limited Partner to forfeit all or any portion of distributions from the
Partnership made or to be made after such Event of Default that relate to any Partnership Investments in respect of which such Limited Partner made Capital Contributions prior to such Event of Default; 
  

 37 

 (ii) request the Non-Defaulting Limited Partners to provide a loan to the Partnership
(each, a “Total Drawdown Default Loan”) in the aggregate amount of the Drawdown required in the applicable Drawdown Notice (the “Total Drawdown Amount”), and which shall bear interest from the date the sum is paid
into the Partnership until the date it is repaid at the Default Rate (or such lower rate as is the maximum rate permitted by law); provided that notwithstanding Article 6, Proceeds shall be utilized first to pay any outstanding Total Drawdown
Default Loans (and any accrued interest thereon) and there shall be no distributions to the Partners pursuant to Article 6 until the principal of and interest on all outstanding Total Drawdown Default Loans have been paid in full by the Partnership;
provided further, to the extent a Non-Defaulting Limited Partner has made a Capital Contribution prior to making a Total Drawdown Default Loan, subject to such Non-Defaulting Limited Partner’s consent, such Capital Contribution shall be
deemed to be its pro rata share of funding such Total Drawdown Default Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Partners agree that a Limited Partner shall never be required to make a loan to the Partnership; 
 (iii) request the Non-Defaulting Limited Partners to provide a loan to the Partnership in the amount of the Default Amount (the
“Default Loan”) and which shall bear interest from the date the sum is paid into the Partnership until the date it is repaid at the Default Rate (or such lower rate as is the maximum rate permitted by law); provided that:

 (A) subject to the prior written unanimous consent of the Partners (other than the Defaulting Limited Partner), such
Non-Defaulting Limited Partners shall be deemed to have purchased for their respective accounts (as provided in Section 5.03(d)), a percentage of the Defaulting Limited Partner’s partnership interest equal to the percentage derived by
dividing an amount equal to *********************** (and any unpaid interest thereon accrued to the date of such deemed purchase) by the aggregate *********************** made by the Defaulting Limited Partner as of such date plus the *************;
provided that in no instance shall the Defaulting Limited Partner be deemed to have sold more than all of its partnership interest. For illustrative purposes only, ********************************
*****************************************************

**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
************************************************* sale, provided that in the event that there are more than one Non-Defaulting Limited Partners making Default Loans, the purchased Commitment Percentage shall be allocated among such Limited
Partners in proportion to loans made by such Limited Partners as further described below in Section 5.03(d); 
 (B)*************************************************************************************** ******************************* 
 (C) notwithstanding Article 6, Proceeds shall be utilized first to pay any outstanding Default Loans (and any accrued interest thereon) and there shall be no distributions to the Partners pursuant to Article 6 until the principal of and
interest on all outstanding Default Loans have been paid in full by the Partnership; 
 For the avoidance of doubt, the Partners agree that a
Limited Partner shall never be required to make a Default Loan; 
 (iv) request additional contributions of capital from the
Non-Defaulting Limited Partners (pro rata based on their respective Commitment Percentages) in an amount equal to the ************* (the “Default Contribution”), in which event, subject to Section 10.02 and the prior written
unanimous consent of all Partners (other than the Defaulting Limited Partner), the Defaulting Limited Partner shall be deemed to have sold, and the contributing Non-Defaulting Limited Partners shall be deemed to have purchased for their respective
accounts (as provided in Section 5.03(d)), a percentage of the Defaulting Limited Partner’s partnership interest equal to the percentage derived by dividing an amount equal to **********************************
****************************************************************************************************** ************************************************************************************************* 

  

 39 

 
***************************************************************************************************
*************************************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************************************
*************************************************************************************************** **********************; 
 (v) cause distributions that would otherwise be made to the Defaulting Limited Partner to be credited against the Default Amount, as applicable (and any interest accruing thereon) pursuant to Section 6.05(c); 
 (vi) cause the Defaulting Limited Partner to forfeit its right to participate in any Partnership Investments made after such Event of
Default; 
 (vii) in the event Non-Defaulting Limited Partners are not willing to make Default Contributions, Total Drawdown
Default Loans or Default Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the Default Amount or Total Drawdown Amount (as applicable), with respect to any Defaulting Limited Partner, subject to the prior written unanimous consent of all the Partners (other
than the Defaulting Limited Partner), cause a forced sale of the Defaulting Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership to any Person, at such price as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, shall determine to be fair and reasonable
under the circumstances; and 
 (viii) institute proceedings to recover the Defaulting Limited Partner’s share of the
Total Drawdown Amount or Default Amount, as applicable (and any interest accruing thereon). 
 It is a condition to any Non-Defaulting Limited Partner making
a Total Drawdown Default Loan, Default Loan or a Default Contribution that such loan or contribution be made under the Corresponding Provision in the same percentage of the Total Drawdown Amount or Default Amount (as applicable), unless otherwise
agreed by the Non-Defaulting Partners. A transfer of the Defaulting Limited Partner’s interest (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all rights and obligations of such Defaulting Limited Partner under this Agreement) pursuant to a forced sale
shall be effectuated by way of assumption of contract (contractsoverneming) within the meaning of Section 6:159 of the Dutch Civil Code. The Defaulting Limited Partner hereby gives its cooperation in advance to such assumption of
contract and agrees that its cooperation cannot be revoked. 
 (c) The General Partner may take either or both of the following actions in
respect of the Available Capital Commitment of any Defaulting Limited Partner: 
  

 40 

 (i) seek commitments of capital from existing Limited Partners up to the amount of the
Defaulting Limited Partner’s Available Capital Commitment and, if existing Limited Partners do not increase their Capital Commitments up to the full amount of the Defaulting Limited Partner’s Available Capital Commitment, from additional
investors. If any such commitment is received from any existing Limited Partner, subject to the prior written unanimous consent of the Partners (other than the Defaulting Limited Partner), such Limited Partner’s Capital Commitment and Available
Capital Commitment shall be increased accordingly. If any such commitment is received from an investor that is not an existing Limited Partner, such investor shall, after executing such instruments and delivering such opinions and other documents as
are in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner and subject to the prior written unanimous consent of the Partners (other than the Defaulting Limited Partner), be admitted to the Partnership as a Substituted Limited Partner and shown
as such on the books and records of the Partnership and shall be deemed to have a Capital Commitment and an Available Capital Commitment equal to the commitment for which such investor has subscribed. After the appropriate adjustment of the Capital
Commitment and the Available Capital Commitment of the Limited Partner or admission of the Substituted Limited Partner, the Capital Commitment and Available Capital Commitment of the Defaulting Limited Partner shall be decreased accordingly; and

 (ii) subject to the prior written unanimous consent of the Partners (other than the Defaulting Limited Partner), reduce or
cancel the Available Capital Commitment of the Defaulting Limited Partner on such terms as the General Partner determines in its discretion (which may include leaving such Defaulting Limited Partner obligated to make Capital Contributions with
respect to Partnership Expenses). 
 (d) If the aggregate amount of the Total Drawdown Default Loan, Default Loan or Default Contribution, as
the case may be (and any accrued interest thereon), committed by the Non-Defaulting Limited Partners pursuant to the Default notice is: (i) equal to or less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Total Drawdown Amount or Default Amount, as
applicable (and any accrued interest thereon), then each such Non-Defaulting Limited Partners shall make a Total Drawdown Default Loan, Default Loan or Default Contribution (as the case may be) in an amount committed to in its Default Election
Notice, or (ii) in excess of one hundred percent (100%) of the Total Drawdown Amount or Default Amount, as applicable, then, subject to the prior written unanimous consent of the Partners (other than the Defaulting Limited Partner), each
such Non-Defaulting Limited Partner shall make a Total Drawdown Default Loan, Default Loan or Default Contribution (as the case may be) in an amount equal to the sum of (A) the lesser of (y) the amount committed in the Default Election
Notice or (z) the 

  

 41 

 
product of the Total Drawdown Amount or Default Amount, as applicable (and any accrued interest thereon) and the Commitment Percentage of each electing
Non-Defaulting Limited Partner, plus (B) the Total Drawdown Amount or Default Amount, as applicable (and any accrued interest thereon) not lent or contributed under clause (A) above multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
amount requested in the Default Election Notice by each Non-Defaulting Limited Partner that such Limited Partner did not loan or contributed under clause (A) above, and the denominator of which is the aggregate amounts requested in the Default
Election Notices by all Non-Defaulting Limited Partners that such Limited Partners did not loan or contribute under clause (A) above. The amount of any Default Contribution shall reduce the Commitment of a Defaulting Limited Partner and shall
not reduce the Commitment of the contributing Non Defaulting Limited Partners. In no event shall a Total Drawdown Default Loan, Default Loan or Default Contribution release the Defaulting Limited Partner from its obligations to fund the remainder of
its Commitment. 
 (e) The rights and remedies referred to in this Section 5.03 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any
other rights available to the General Partner or the Partnership under this Agreement or at law or in equity. An Event of Default by any Limited Partner in respect of any Capital Contribution shall not relieve any other Limited Partner of its
obligation to make Capital Contributions under this Agreement. In addition, unless the Available Capital Commitment of any Defaulting Limited Partner is decreased to zero pursuant to Section 5.03(c), an Event of Default by such Defaulting
Limited Partner shall not relieve such Limited Partner of its obligation to make Capital Contributions subsequent to such Event of Default. 
 (f) Any Non-Defaulting Limited Partner who has or is deemed to have acquired any or all of the partnership interest of a Defaulting Partner pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall be deemed a Substituted Limited Partner with respect to
such acquired interest.

 Section 5.05. Extraordinary Loans. (a) At any time either
(i) after the Commitment Period or (ii) that a Drawdown would exceed the aggregate Available Capital Commitment of the Limited Partners, and in either case, the General Partner has determined in its good faith judgment that additional
funds are necessary in connection with operating shortfalls or emergency repairs, the General Partner may deliver to the Limited Partners a notice (an “Extraordinary Drawdown Notice”) setting forth the
information generally required to be included in a Drawdown Notice, including the aggregate amount of the operating or capital shortfall (the “Total Extraordinary Drawdown Amount”) and requesting that each Limited Partner
make a loan with interest at a rate per annum equal to ***************************************** as approved unanimously by the Limited Partners, but absent such approval, ************ *** (an “Extraordinary Loan”) to the
Partnership. Each Limited Partner shall deliver a notice (the “Extraordinary LP Response”) to the General Partner within ten (10) days of its receipt of the Extraordinary Drawdown Notice indicating whether it will elect to
make such Extraordinary Loan and, if applicable, the amount of the Extraordinary Loan to be committed. For the avoidance of doubt, no Limited Partner shall be obligated to make any Extraordinary Loans and nothing in this Section 5.05 is
intended to detract from the limitations set forth in the proviso in Section 5.01(a) and Section 5.01(c). Proceeds shall be utilized first to pay any outstanding Extraordinary Loans (after the repayment of any outstanding Default
Loans or Total Drawdown Default Loans) (and any accrued interest thereon) and there shall be no distributions to the Partners pursuant to Article 6 until the principal of and interest on all outstanding Extraordinary Loans have been paid in full by
the Partnership. 
 (b) If the aggregate amount of the Extraordinary Loan, as the case may be (and any accrued interest thereon), committed
by the Limited Partners pursuant to their Extraordinary LP Responses is: (i) equal to or less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Total Extraordinary Drawdown Amount (and any accrued interest thereon), then each such electing Limited Partners
shall make an Extraordinary Loan in an amount committed to in its Extraordinary LP Response, 

  

 44 

 
or (ii) in excess of one hundred percent (100%) of the Total Extraordinary Drawdown Amount, then, each such electing Limited Partner shall make an
Extraordinary Loan (as the case may be) in an amount equal to the sum of (A) the lesser of (y) the amount committed in the Extraordinary LP Response or (z) the product of the Total Extraordinary Drawdown Amount (and any accrued
interest thereon) and the Commitment Percentage of each electing Limited Partner, plus (B) the Total Extraordinary Drawdown Amount (and any accrued interest thereon) not lent or contributed under clause (A) above multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the amount requested in the Extraordinary Drawdown Notice that such Limited Partner did not loan under clause (A) above, and the denominator of which is the aggregate amounts requested in the Extraordinary Drawdown
Notices that such Limited Partners did not loan under clause (A) above. 
 ARTICLE 6 
 DISTRIBUTIONS; ALLOCATIONS; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS 
 Section 6.01. Distributions Generally. (a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.03, Section 5.05 and 9.04, distributions of
Proceeds shall be made in accordance with this Article 6. 
 Section 6.02. Distributions of Proceeds of Partnership Investments.
(a) Subject to Sections 5.03(b)(iii)(C), Section 5.05, 6.03 and Section 6.05(c), the Investment Percentage of any Proceeds from any Partnership Investment attributable to any Limited Partner shall be distributed as follows:

 (i)*******************************************************************************************
**************************************************************************************************** *****************************************************************************; 
 (ii)**********************************************************************************************
************************************************; 
 (iii)******************************************************************************************** *************************************************************************************************** *********; 
 (iv)********************************************************************************************
***************************************************************************************************; and 
  

 45 

 (v)************************************************************. 
 For purposes of the foregoing determinations, and of allocations to the General Partner pursuant to Section 6.07, distributions pursuant to Section 9.04 shall
be deemed to be made under the applicable clauses of this Section 6.02(a). Any value-added tax incurred by the Partnership with respect to Carried Interest shall be credited against distributions of Carried Interest that the General Partner
would otherwise have received pursuant to this Section 6.02(a). 
 (b) For purposes of determining under Section 6.02(a) how the
Proceeds of any Partnership Investment are distributed among the Partners: 
 (i) References to a Limited Partner’s
Capital Contributions shall include such amounts contributed pursuant to any Corresponding Provisions, except in the case of any Host Limited Partner (unless a REIT Event shall have occurred, in which case such amount contributed by such Host
Limited Partner pursuant to any Corresponding Provisions shall be included); and 
 (ii) References to amounts of cumulative
distributions received by a Limited Partner pursuant to Section 6.02(a) shall include such amounts received under any Corresponding Provisions, except in the case of any Host Limited Partner (unless a REIT Event shall have occurred, in which
case such amount received by such Host Limited Partner pursuant to any Corresponding Provisions shall be included). 
 For the avoidance of
doubt, it is understood that Proceeds realized by the Partnership are distributed among the Partners pursuant to this Article 6 and net cash flow realized by the TRS CV shall be distributed pursuant to the Corresponding Provision. 
 (c) Subject to Sections 6.03 and 6.05, the Investment Percentage of such Proceeds attributable to the General Partner shall be distributed 100% to the
General Partner. The General Partner may, at its discretion, cause the Partnership to retain any such amount or any other amount otherwise distributable to the General Partner under this Agreement for distribution at such later date as the General
Partner shall determine, provided that (i) all income received as a result of the investment of such retained amounts and all taxes on that income shall be for the account of the General Partner, (ii) the Partnership shall make such
special allocations and distributions as necessary to give effect to this proviso, and (iii) such retained amounts shall be considered to have been received by the General Partner for purposes of Section 6.07.

 Section 6.04. Other Distributions. All distributable
amounts that are not distributed pursuant to any other provision of this Article 6 shall be distributed to the Partners pro rata in accordance with their Commitment Percentages. 
 Section 6.05. Other General Principles of Distribution. (a) Distributions of Cash. Subject to Section 9.04 and the remaining provisions of this
Section 6.05, (i) distributions of Proceeds from Disposition of Partnership Investments shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable after their receipt by the Partnership, and (ii) distributions of Proceeds received by the Partnership, other
than from Dispositions of Partnership Investments, and distributions of income 

  

 48 

 
earned pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be distributed as deemed appropriate by the General Partner to Partners. All distributions pursuant to this
Section 6.05(a) shall be made in immediately available funds in Euros. 
 (b) Distributions in Kind. (i) The General Partner
shall not make any distribution in kind to any Limited Partner (other than any Host Limited Partner) without the written consent of such Limited Partner. Upon the request of the General Partner or a Host Limited Partner, the Limited Partners shall
cooperate with the General Partner to effect a distribution in kind to the General Partner or such Host Limited Partner. 
 (ii) For purposes of this Article 6, the amount of any distribution in kind shall be the fair market value of such distribution as determined by the appraisal procedure set forth in Section 11.02, and for purposes of determining Net
Income or Net Loss, such property shall be deemed to have been sold by the Partnership for such fair market value. 
 (iii) If
there is a distribution in kind to a Limited Partner, such Limited Partner may designate any other Person to receive such distribution. 
 (c) Withholding of Certain Amounts. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, prior to making a distribution pursuant to Section 6.02, the General Partner may, in its discretion, withhold from any such
distribution of cash or property in kind to any Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement, the following amounts: 
 (i) any
amounts due from such Limited Partner to the Partnership or the General Partner pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not otherwise paid (including any Total Drawdown Amount, Default Amount or Total Extraordinary Drawdown Amount, as applicable,
plus any accrued interest thereon); 
 (ii) any amounts required to pay or to reimburse (on a net after-tax basis) any
Indemnified Person for the payment of any taxes and related expenses that the General Partner in good faith determines to be properly attributable to such Limited Partner; and 
 (iii) Partnership Expenses. 
 Any amounts so withheld pursuant to this Section 6.05(c) shall be applied by the General Partner to discharge the obligation in respect of which such amounts were withheld. 
 (d) Treatment of Certain Amounts Withheld. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, all amounts withheld by the General Partner pursuant
to 

  

 49 

 
Section 6.05(c) and all amounts that the General Partner determines in good faith to be properly withheld or otherwise paid by any Person on behalf of
any Partner pursuant to any provision of applicable law, shall be treated as if such amounts were realized and recognized by the Partnership and distributed to such Partner pursuant to Section 6.02. 
 (e) Amounts Held in Reserve. In addition to the rights set forth in Section 6.05(c), the General Partner shall have the right, in its
discretion, to establish or modify the amount of any reserves prior to making any distributions to the Partners by withholding amounts otherwise distributable by the Partnership to the Partners in order to maintain the Partnership in a sound
financial and cash position and to make such provision as the General Partner in its discretion deems necessary or advisable for any and all liabilities and obligations, contingent or otherwise, of the Partnership (including in respect of any
anticipated capital requirements in accordance with the Budget). 
 (f) Reinvestment. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Article 6, during the Commitment Period, the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may cause the Partnership to retain (and not to distribute to Limited Partners and, accordingly, such amounts shall continue to be considered unreturned capital
until distributed) or recall all or any portion of any Proceeds constituting a return of the amounts of any Capital Contributions made by the Limited Partner, and to reinvest such Proceeds in accordance with this Agreement. After the Commitment
Period, subject to the restrictions provided herein, any such retained Proceeds may only be (i) reinvested by the General Partner, in its discretion, in a Partnership Investment that the Partnership committed to make prior to the termination of
the Commitment Period as evidenced by a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement to invest and (ii) used to pay Partnership Expenses. 
 (g) CV Law. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Partnership shall not make any distributions except to the extent permitted under the CV Law. 
 (h) Loans and Withdrawal of Capital. No Partner shall be permitted to borrow, or to make an early withdrawal of, any portion of its Capital
Account. 
 (i) Tax Payments. Each Partner covenants for itself and its successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives that
such Person will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, at any time prior to or after dissolution of the Partnership, whether before or after such Person’s withdrawal from the Partnership, pay to the Partnership or the General Partner on
demand any amount that the Partnership or the General Partner, as the case may be, pays in respect of taxes (including withholding taxes) imposed upon income of, or distributions in respect of Partnership Investments made to, such Partner.

  

 50 

 Section 6.06. Capital Accounts. (a) In general, there shall be established for each
Partner on the books and records of the Partnership a capital account (a “Capital Account”), which shall initially be zero. The Capital Account of each Partner shall be: 
 (i) credited with any Capital Contributions made by such Partner; 
 (ii) credited with any allocations of income, profit or gain of the Partnership to such Partner; 
 (iii) debited by the amount of cash (or the fair market value of other property as determined by the General Partner pursuant to
Section 6.05(b)) distributed by the Partnership to such Partner; and 
 (iv) debited by any allocations of expense (other
than any expense that should properly be included in the basis of any asset of the Partnership), deduction or loss of the Partnership to such Partner. 
 (b) The provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with applicable Regulations under Code Section 704 and to provide for allocations that have
“substantial economic effect” within the meaning of those Regulations or, in the case of allocations attributable to nonrecourse indebtedness, that are deemed pursuant to those Regulations to be in accordance with the “partners’
interests in the partnership”. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with this intention. Moreover, in determining the amount of any liability for purposes hereof, Code Section 752 and the
Regulations thereunder shall be applied insofar as relevant. In the event the General Partner shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto, are computed in order to comply
with such Regulations, the General Partner may make such modification, provided that no such modification that has a material adverse effect upon any Partner shall be made without that Partner’s consent. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) the Partnership may adjust the Capital Accounts to reflect a revaluation of its properties in connection with any of the events specified in Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(5). 
 Section 6.07. Allocations of Income and Loss. (a) In General. The
Investment Percentage of Net Income and Net Loss for each Fiscal Year attributable to the General Partner shall be allocated 100% to the General Partner. Each Limited Partner’s Investment Percentage of Net Income and Net Loss shall be allocated
100% to such Limited Partner to the extent that the General Partner has not received distributions of Carried Interest pursuant to Section 6.02(a) with respect to such Limited Partner. Thereafter, allocations of such Net Income and Net Loss,
and, to the extent necessary, allocations of items of gross income, gain, 

  

 51 

 
loss, deduction and expense, shall be made between such Limited Partner and the General Partner in such a manner that if, immediately after such allocation,
the Partnership liquidated pursuant to Article 9 (assuming all of its assets are sold and its liabilities are settled at their book value), distributions pursuant to Section 9.04(a) would, as nearly as possible, be equal to the distributions
that would be made pursuant to this Article 6. To the extent that the allocation provisions of this Article 6 would fail to produce such final Capital Account balances, items of Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership for prior open Fiscal Years
(or income, expense, gain and loss of the Partnership comprising Net Income or Net Loss of the Partnership for such Fiscal Years) shall be reallocated by the General Partner among the Partners to the extent it is not possible to achieve such result
with allocations of items of Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership for the current Fiscal Year or future Fiscal Years (or income, expense, gain and loss of the Partnership comprising Net Income or Net Loss of the Partnership for such Fiscal
Years); provided that such allocations for prior open Fiscal Years that result in any additional items of income or gain being allocated to the General Partner or the Host Limited Partner shall be made only at the sole discretion of the
General Partner. 
 (b) Other Items. (i) Interest expense with respect to any Default Loans shall be allocated pursuant to
Section 5.03(b)(ii)(B). 
 (ii) Any expense incurred by the Partnership for value-added taxes with respect to Carried
Interest shall be allocated to the General Partner. 
 (iii) All items of income, gain, loss and expense of the Partnership
that are not allocated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.07 shall be allocated to the Partners pro rata in accordance with their Commitment Percentages. 
 (c) Regulatory Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order: 
 (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of Article 6 if there is a net decrease in “partnership minimum gain” or “partner
nonrecourse debt minimum gain” (as defined in applicable Regulations under Code Section 704) for any Fiscal Year, then items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) shall be specially allocated
among the Partners in accordance with requirements of Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and (i). This Section 6.07(c)(i) is intended to comply with the “minimum gain chargeback” requirements of such Regulations and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith. 
 (ii) If any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions
described in Regulations 

  

 52 

 
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 accordance with
the requirements of Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). This Section 6.07(c)(ii) is intended to comply with the “qualified income offset” provision of such Regulations and shall be interpreted consistent therewith.

 (iii) If and to the extent that the allocation of any “nonrecourse deductions” (within the meaning of Regulations
Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) with respect to a Partnership Investment for any Fiscal Year would not otherwise satisfy the requirements of Regulations Section 1.704-2(e), then such nonrecourse deductions shall be specially allocated to the
Partners in proportion to their respective Capital Contributions in respect of such Investment or as otherwise required by Regulations under Code Section 704. 
 (d) Reversal of Regulatory Allocations. The allocations required pursuant to Section 6.07(c) (“Regulatory Allocations”) shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income,
gain, loss, deduction and credit for the same year and/or subsequent years among the Partners so that, to the extent possible without violating the statutory or regulatory requirements that gave rise to the Regulatory Allocations, the cumulative net
amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Partner shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Partner if such Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. 
 (e) Section 706. If additional Partners are admitted to the Partnership on different dates during any Fiscal Year (in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement), the Net Income (or Net Loss) shall be allocated to the Partners with respect to the interests each held from time to time during such Fiscal Year in accordance with Code Section 706, using any convention permitted
by law as determined by the General Partner in its discretion. 
 (f) Section 704(c) Value of Assets. To the extent required by
Code Section 704 and the Regulations thereunder, Net Income and Net Loss shall be adjusted as follows: 
 (A) In the
event that the 704(c) Value of any asset is adjusted, the amount of such adjustment shall be treated as gain or loss from the Disposition of such asset for purposes of computing Net Income or Net Loss; 
 (B) Gain or loss resulting from any Disposition of any asset with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax
purposes shall be computed by reference to the 704(c) Value of the property disposed of, notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of such property differs from such Value; and 
  

 53 

 (C) In lieu of the depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions taken
into account in computing such taxable income or loss, there shall be taken into account Depreciation for such Fiscal Year, computed as defined herein. 
 As used in this Section 6.07(f), the following terms have the following meaning: 
 “Depreciation” means, for each Fiscal Year, an amount equal to the depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction allowable with respect to an asset for such year or other period, except that if the 704(c)
Value of an asset differs from its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes at the beginning of such year or other period, Depreciation shall be an amount which bears the same ratio to such beginning 704(c) Value as the federal income tax
depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction for such year or other period bears to such beginning adjusted tax basis. 
 “704(c)Value” means, with respect to any Partnership asset, the adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes of such asset, adjusted as of the following times to equal its gross fair market value (as determined by the
General Partner in its discretion): (a) the acquisition of an additional Interest by any new or existing Partner in exchange for more than a de minimis (as that term is used in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)) Capital
Contribution; (b) the distribution by the Partnership to a Partner of more than a de minimis amount of Partnership property or money if the General Partner determines in its discretion that such adjustment is necessary or appropriate to
reflect the economic interests of the Partners in the Partnership; and (c) the liquidation of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii). If the 704(c) Value of an asset has
been determined or adjusted pursuant hereto, such 704(c) Value shall thereafter be adjusted by the Depreciation taken into account with respect to such asset for purposes for computing Net Income and Net Loss. 
 (g) Distributions during the course of any Fiscal Year shall be on account of the Net Income for that Fiscal Year to the extent of such Net Income.

  

 54 

 (h) Tax Expenses. Items of tax expense in respect of taxes imposed on the Partnership or withheld
on income payable, directly or indirectly, to the Partnership (including any withholding taxes imposed on payments of interest or dividends by any Portfolio Company or Partnership Investment Vehicle) shall be included in the computation of Net
Income and Net Loss and allocated pursuant to this Section 6.07; provided that where an item of tax expense payable by the Partnership or where a direct or indirect withholding tax on income or payments to the Partnership is calculated,
under applicable law, at different rates or on a different basis with respect to income allocable to some (but not all) of the Partners, such tax expense or withholding tax shall be allocated to, and such expense or withholding tax shall reduce the
amount distributable to, the Partners pursuant to Section 6.02 as reasonably determined by the General Partner, in a manner which reflects the rate or basis of taxation which is applicable to each such Partner (and the amount withheld shall be
treated as having been received by such Partner for purposes of Section 6.02, but shall not be deemed to be a Capital Contribution by such Partner or otherwise reduce such Partner’s unfunded Capital Commitment). 
 Section 6.08. Tax Allocations. (a) For income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Partnership
shall be allocated among the Partners as nearly as possible in the same manner as the corresponding item of income, expense, gain or loss is allocated pursuant to the other provisions of this Article 6. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.08
are solely for purposes of income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Net Income or Net Loss, distributions or other Partnership items pursuant to any provision
of this Agreement. 
 (b) All items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any Partnership asset that has a book value that
differs from its adjusted tax basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be allocated so as to take into account the variation between the book value and the adjusted tax basis in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the
Code and the Regulations thereunder. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocation shall be made by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion. 
 Section 6.09. U.S. Taxation of Limited Partners. The General Partner agrees not to cause the Partnership to make any investments or take any other action that (i) would cause the Partnership or any
Limited Partner to realize “effectively connected income” within the meaning of the Code or any other income subject to U.S. federal income tax (including withholding tax), or (ii) would cause any Limited Partner to be required to
file U.S. federal income tax returns solely by reason of being a Partner in the Partnership. 
  

 55 

 ARTICLE 7

mail to each Partner who was a Partner during such fiscal year, an audited written report signed by the Approved Accountant setting forth as of the end of such Fiscal Year: 
 (i) a combined consolidated balance sheet of the Partnership, any Partnership Investment Vehicles or Portfolio Companies and their assets
as of the end of such Fiscal Year; 
 (ii) a combined consolidated statement of Partnership cash flow for the Partnership, any
Partnership Investment Vehicles or Portfolio Companies for such Fiscal Year; and

 (i) a written report setting forth an unaudited estimate of the *********************** of the Partnership as of the end of such fiscal
quarter and a description of the valuation method used;

 ARTICLE 8 
 INDEMNIFICATION 
 Section 8.01. Indemnification. (a) No
Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Partnership or to the Partners for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from, related to, or in connection with this Agreement or the Partnership’s business or affairs (including any act
or omission by any Indemnified Person and any activity of the type or character disclosed or contemplated in Section 2.04, and no such activity will in and of itself constitute a breach of any duty owed by any Indemnified Person to any Limited
Partner or the Partnership hereunder or under applicable law), except, as to Indemnified Parties, for any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities resulting from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or from the
occurrence of an Uncured Breach or Uncured Material Violation of Law. 
 (b) The Partnership shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from, related to or in connection with this Agreement or the Partnership’s business or affairs (including any act or
omission by any Indemnified Person and any activity of the type or character disclosed or contemplated in Section 2.04, and no such activity will in and of itself constitute a breach of any duty owed by any Indemnified Person to any Limited Partner
or to the Partnership hereunder or under applicable law), except for any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities resulting from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or from the occurrence of an Uncured Breach or

  

 58 

 
Uncured Material Violation of Law. Subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, the Partnership will periodically reimburse each Indemnified Person for
all expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) as such expenses are incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any Proceeding related to, arising from or in connection with this Agreement or the
Partnership’s business or affairs whether or not pending or threatened and whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto. If for any reason (other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct or from the occurrence of an Uncured
Breach or Uncured Material Violation of Law of such Indemnified Person), the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person, or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Partnership shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, or,
if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also any other relevant equitable considerations. 
 (c) The General Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the funds needed to satisfy the Partnership’s indemnification obligations under Section 8.01 from Persons other than the Partners
or the Partnership (for example, pursuant to insurance policies that provide primary coverage or Portfolio Company indemnification arrangements) before causing the Partnership to make payments pursuant to Section 8.01. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, the reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Partnership under
Section 8.01 (the “Indemnification Obligations”) shall: 
 (i) with respect to taxes imposed on a
Partner, be in addition to any liability which the Partnership may otherwise have; 
 (ii) be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of each Indemnified Person; and 
 (iii) be limited to
the sum of (x) the assets of the Partnership, plus (y) prior to the completion of the winding up of the Partnership pursuant to Article 9, the amount of all Partners’ aggregate Available Capital Commitments, provided that if
such sum is insufficient to fulfill the Partnership’s obligations under this Article 8, the General Partner may, in its discretion, seek to satisfy such obligation out of the assets of a Partnership Investment. 
 (e) To the extent that, at law or in equity, any Indemnified Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the
Partnership 

  

 59 

 
or to any Partner, the General Partner and any other Indemnified Person acting in connection with the Partnership’s affairs shall not be liable to the
Partnership or to any Partner for its 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 or rights and powers of any Indemnified Person
otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties, liabilities, rights and powers of such Indemnified Person. 
 (f) To the fullest extent permitted by law and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, or in any agreement contemplated herein or applicable provisions of law or equity or otherwise, whenever in this
Agreement a Limited Partner is permitted or required to make a determination or decision in its “discretion,” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, a Limited Partner shall be entitled to consider, including its own interests,
only such interests and factors as it desires to consider and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting any other Limited Partner, the General Partner or the Partnership. Any determination or
decision made pursuant to this Agreement by the General Partner shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes and binding upon all Partners and their respective successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives. 
 (g) The Partnership shall acquire and maintain adequate liability insurance at the Partnership’s expense with customary limits and deductibles
covering the General Partner and its Affiliates. The Partnership shall not incur the cost of that portion of any insurance which insures any party against any liability the indemnification of which is prohibited pursuant to this Article 8. Any
Person entitled to indemnification from the Partnership pursuant to this Article 8 shall first use its reasonable best efforts to seek recovery under any other indemnity or any insurance policies by which such Person is indemnified or covered, but
if such recovery or advancement is not promptly forthcoming, the Partnership shall provide the indemnification and shall be subrogated to the right of the Indemnified Party to recover from such other sources.

General Partner’s Interest. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner may not, directly or indirectly, sell, exchange, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of its interest
in the Partnership (any such direct or indirect sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, swap or other disposition being herein collectively called “Transfers”) to any Person without the prior unanimous written
consent of the Partners at such time. If the General Partner so determines, and any such prior consent of the Limited Partners under this Article 10 so provides, the General Partner may admit any Person to whom the General Partner proposes to make

and obligations of the General Partner under this Agreement) pursuant to Section 2.11 or this Section 10.01 shall be effectuated by way of assumption of contract (contractsoverneming) within the meaning of Section 6:159 of the
Dutch Civil Code. The Partners hereby give their cooperation in advance to such assumption of contract and agree that this cooperation cannot be revoked.

 63 

 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.07, in no event may a Limited Partner Transfer any
portion of its interest in the Partnership nor may a Substituted Limited Partner be admitted to the Partnership if such Transfer or such admission would, in the judgment of the General Partner, cause the Partnership’s assets to be deemed
“plan assets” for purposes of ERISA or cause the Partnership or the General Partner to be in violation of the Investment Law, the Securities Law or any other applicable law or regulation. 
 (c) It shall be a condition to any transfer of any partnership interest by any Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement that such Limited Partner
transfer the same percentage of its percentage interest in the TRS CV pursuant to the Corresponding Provision.

losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Partnership or the General Partner may become subject arising out of, related to or in connection with any false representation or warranty made by, or breach or failure to comply with any covenant
or agreement of, such transferring Limited Partner or such Substituted Limited Partner.

Substituted Limited Partners. (a) No purchaser, assignee, or other recipient of all or any portion of a Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership may be admitted to the Partnership or increase its limited partner interest (as

and acknowledge such instruments (including a counterpart of this Agreement), in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner, as the General Partner reasonably deems necessary or desirable to effectuate such admission and to confirm the
agreement of such Person to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to the interest in the Partnership acquired by such Person. 
  

 66 

 (b) The Partnership shall not (subject to Section 10.08) recognize for any purpose any purported
Transfer of all or any part of a Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership and no purchaser, assignee, transferee or other recipient of all or any part of such interest shall become a Substituted Limited Partner hereunder unless:

 (i) the provisions of Sections 10.01(e), Section 10.04 and 10.05(a) shall have been complied with; 
 (ii) the General Partner shall have been furnished with the documents effecting such Transfer (including an assumption of contract

transferee or other recipient;

such Transfer was made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations; 
 (iv) all necessary governmental consents
shall have been obtained in respect of such Transfer;

(which change shall be made as promptly as practicable) to reflect the admission of such Substituted Limited Partner; and 
 (vi) all necessary instruments reflecting such admission shall have been filed in each jurisdiction in which such filing is necessary in order to qualify the Partnership to conduct business or to preserve the limited liability of the
Limited Partners. 
 Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 10.05, any such purchaser, assignee, or other
recipient shall become a Substituted Limited Partner. The Partners hereby give their cooperation in advance to the assumption of contract described in this Section 10.05(b)(ii) and agree that this cooperation cannot be revoked. 
 Section 10.06. Transfers During a Fiscal Year. If any Transfer of a Partner’s interest in the Partnership shall occur at any time other

“Withdrawing Limited Partner”), the other Partners shall continue the business of the Partnership under the same name and for the account of such Partners and the beneficial interest corresponding to such partners’ interest in
all assets that are legally owned by the General Partner for the benefit of the Partnership shall be deemed to be allotted to such other Partners; provided that at the time there is at least one remaining general partner of the Partnership.
The Partnership shall not be obligated to make any payments or distributions to a Withdrawing Limited Partner. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no other event affecting a Limited Partner shall, in and of itself, affect its obligations

 CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 Each Limited Partner (hereinafter referred to as the
“Investor”) represents and warrants as of the date hereof, and covenants and agrees, as follows: 
 1. Either (a) the
Investor’s partnership interests are being acquired solely for its own account, own risk and own beneficial interest, (2) the Investor is not acting as an agent, representative, intermediary, nominee or in a similar capacity for any other
Person, nominee account or beneficial owner, whether a natural person or Entity (as defined below) (each an “Underlying Beneficial Owner”) and no Underlying Beneficial Owner will have a beneficial or economic interest in the
partnership interests being purchased by the Investor (whether directly or indirectly, including without limitation through any option, swap, forward or any other hedging or derivative transaction) and (3) the Investor does not have the
intention or obligation to sell, pledge, distribute, assign or transfer all or a portion of the partnership interests to any Underlying Beneficial Owner or any other Person; or 
 (b) the Investor’s partnership interests are being acquired as a record owner and the Investor will not have a beneficial ownership interest in the
partnership interests, (2) the Investor is acting as an agent, representative, intermediary, nominee or in a similar capacity for one or more Underlying Beneficial Owners, and understands and acknowledges that the representations, warranties
and agreements made herein are made by the Investor with respect to both the Investor and the Underlying Beneficial Owner(s), (3) the Investor has all requisite power and authority from the Underlying Beneficial Owner(s) to execute and perform
the obligations under Agreement of Limited Partnership of HHR Euro CV (the “Partnership Agreement”), (4) the Investor has carried out thorough due diligence as to and established the identities of all Underlying Beneficial
Owners (and, if an Underlying Beneficial Owner is not a natural person, the identities of such Underlying Beneficial Owner’s Related Persons (to the extent applicable)), holds the evidence of such identities, will maintain all such evidence for
at least five years from the date of the Investor’s complete redemption from HHR Euro CV (the “Partnership”) and will make such information available to the Partnership upon its reasonable request, and (5) the Investor
does not have the intention or obligation to sell, pledge, distribute, assign or transfer all or a portion of the partnership interests to any Person other than the Underlying Beneficial Owner(s). 
 A “Related Person” means, with respect to any Entity, any Investor, director, senior officer, trustee, beneficiary or grantor of such
Entity; provided that in the case of an Entity that is a Publicly Traded Company (as defined below) or a Qualified Plan (as defined below), the term “Related Person” shall exclude the investors and beneficiaries of such Publicly
Traded Company or such Qualified Plan. 
 A “Publicly Traded Company” is an Entity whose securities are listed on a national
securities exchange or quoted on an automated quotation system in the United States of America or in Europe or a wholly-owned subsidiary of such an Entity. 
  

 Appendix F-1

2510.3-101. 
 3. The Investor hereby represents and warrants that the proposed investment by the Investor in the Partnership that is being
made on its own behalf or, if applicable, on behalf of any Underlying Beneficial Owners does not directly or indirectly contravene United States federal, state, international or other laws or regulations, including anti-money laundering laws (a
“Prohibited Investment”). The Investor further represents and warrants that the funds invested by the Investor in the Partnership are not derived from illegal or illegitimate activities. 
 4. Federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control
(“OFAC”) prohibit U.S. persons from, among other things, engaging in transactions with or providing services to certain foreign countries, entities and individuals. The identities of OFAC-prohibited countries, territories and
Persons (“Sanctioned Countries and Persons”) can be found at 31 CFR Chapter V and on the OFAC website at <www.treas.gov/ofac>. The Investor hereby represents and warrants that none of the Investor or any of its Affiliates, or,
if applicable, any Underlying Beneficial Owner or Related Person, is a Sanctioned Country or Person, or a resident of a Sanctioned Country, nor is the Investor or any of its Affiliates, or, if applicable, any Underlying Beneficial Owner or Related
Person, a natural person or Entity with whom dealings by U.S. persons are, unless licensed, prohibited under any Executive Orders or regulations administered by OFAC. 
 5. The Investor hereby represents and warrants that neither the Investor nor, if applicable, any Underlying Beneficial Owner or Related Person, is a foreign bank without a physical presence in any country other than a
foreign bank that (A) is an affiliate of a depositary institution, credit union or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or a foreign country, as applicable and (B) is subject to supervision by a banking
authority in the country regulating such affiliated depositary institution, credit union, or foreign bank. A foreign bank described in the preceding clauses (A) and (B) is referred to herein as a “Regulated Affiliate”, and
a foreign bank without a physical presence in any country that is not a Regulated Affiliate is referred to herein as a “Foreign Shell Bank”. 
  

 Appendix F-2 

 6. The Investor hereby represents and warrants that, except as otherwise disclosed to the Partnership in
writing: (A) neither the Investor nor, if applicable, any Underlying Beneficial Owner or Related Person, is resident in, or organized or chartered under the laws of, (1) a jurisdiction that has been designated by the U.S. Secretary of the
Treasury under Section 311 or 312 of the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”) as warranting special measures due to money laundering concerns or (2) any foreign country that has been designated as non-cooperative
with international anti-money laundering principles or procedures by an intergovernmental group or organization, such as the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering, of which the United States is a member and with which designation the
United States representative to the group or organization continues to concur (a “Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction”); (B) the subscription funds of the Investor and, if applicable, any Underlying Beneficial Owner or Related Person,
do not originate from, nor will they be routed through, an account maintained at (1) a Foreign Shell Bank, (2) a foreign bank (other than a Regulated Affiliate) that is barred, pursuant to its banking license, from conducting banking
activities with the citizens of, or with the local currency of, the country that issued the license or (3) a bank organized or chartered under the laws of a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction. 
 7. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that any distributions paid to it will be paid to the same account from which its investment in the Partnership
was originally remitted, unless the General Partner, in its sole discretion, agrees otherwise. 
 8. The Investor agrees to provide any
information, other than non-public information, requested by the General Partner which the General Partner reasonably believes will enable the Partnership to comply with all applicable anti-money laundering statutes, rules, regulations and policies,
including any applicable to an investment held or proposed to be held by the Partnership. The Investor understands and agrees that the General Partner may, after prior consultation with the relevant Investor, release confidential information about
the Investor and, if applicable, any Underlying Beneficial Owner or Related Person, to any Person, if the General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines that such disclosure is required by applicable law, including the relevant rules and
regulations concerning Prohibited Investments, but only in so far and to the extent that disclosure is actually required by such laws or regulations. 
 9. The foregoing representations, warranties and agreements shall survive the date hereof.

or a commodity pool; or 
 a Public Company (as defined below); or 
 a company with shareholders’ equity of not less than $50 million (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles) as reflected on the company’s most recent (and in any event not more than 16 months old) financial statements; 
  

	(2)	Real estate held for investment purposes; 

  

	(3)	Commodity Interests (as defined below) held for investment purposes; 

  

	(4)	Physical Commodities (as defined below) held for investment purposes;

Investor; and 

  

	(7)	Cash and cash equivalents held for investment purposes.

 1. Real Estate. Real estate held for investment purposes excludes the
following types of real estate used by the Investor or a Related Person (as defined below): (i) for personal purposes, (ii) as a place of business, or (iii) in connection 

  

 Appendix G-10 

 
with a trade or business (unless the Investor is engaged primarily in the business of investing, trading or developing real estate and the real estate in
question is part of such business). Residential real estate may be considered “held for investment” if deductions on the property are not disallowed by Section 280A of the IRC. 
 2. Commodity Interests, Physical Commodities and Financial Contracts. A Commodity Interest or Physical Commodity owned, or a
Financial Contract entered into, by an Investor who is engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in Commodity Interests, Physical Commodities or Financial Contracts in connection with such business may be deemed to be
held for investment purposes. 
 3. Consolidation of Subsidiaries. For purposes of determining the amount of
investments owned by an Investor that is a company, there may be included investments owned by majority-owned subsidiaries of the Investor and investments owned by a company (“Parent Company”) of which the Investor is a majority-owned
subsidiary, or by a majority-owned subsidiary of the Investor and other majority-owned subsidiaries of the Parent Company. 
 4. Joint Investments. In determining whether a natural person is a “qualified purchaser”, there may be included in the amount of such person’s investments any investment held jointly with such person’s spouse, or
investments in which such person shares with such person’s spouse a community property or similar shared ownership interest. In determining whether spouses who are making a joint investment in the Partnership are “qualified
purchasers”, there may be included in the amount of each spouse’s investments any investments owned by the other spouse (whether or not such investments are held jointly). There shall be deducted from the amount of any such investments the
amount of any outstanding indebtedness incurred by such spouse to acquire such investments. 
 5. Certain Retirement
Plans. In determining whether a natural person is a “qualified purchaser”, there may be included in the amount of such person’s investments any investments held in an individual retirement account or similar account the
investments of which are directed by and held for the benefit of such person.

 SECTION
3.3 The Excess Distribution Certificate. 
 (a) General. The Excess Distribution Certificate shall be issued in one or more

as provided in Sections 2.8(i) and 

  

 -5- 

 
2.9(f), as applicable, of the Administration Agreement. The Excess Distribution Certificate shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile
signature of an authorized officer of the Eligible Lender Trustee. An Excess Distribution Certificate bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of
the Trust, shall be valid and binding obligations of the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Excess Distribution Certificate or did not
hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Excess Distribution Certificate. 
 (b) Authentication.
Concurrently with the sale of the Trust Student Loans to the Trust pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the Eligible Lender Trustee shall cause the Excess Distribution Certificate to be executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or
upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its president or any vice president, without further action by the Depositor. For all purposes hereunder, the Depositor shall be the Excess Distribution Certificateholder. No Excess Distribution
Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Excess Distribution Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in
Exhibit A, executed by the Eligible Lender Trustee or JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as the Eligible Lender Trustee’s authenticating agent, by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such
Excess Distribution Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Excess Distribution Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication. No further Excess Distribution Certificates shall be issued except
pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) below. 
 (c) Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Excess Distribution Certificate
Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to paragraph (f) below, the Excess Distribution Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Eligible Lender
Trustee shall provide for the registration of the Excess Distribution Certificate and of transfers and exchanges of the Excess Distribution Certificate as herein provided. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas shall be the initial Excess Distribution
Certificate Registrar. 
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of the Excess Distribution Certificate at the office or agency
maintained pursuant to paragraph (f) below, the Eligible Lender Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association as its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of
the designated transferee, a new Excess Distribution Certificate dated the date of authentication by the Eligible Lender Trustee or any authenticating agent. At the option of the Excess Distribution Certificateholder, the Excess Distribution
Certificate may be exchanged for another Excess Distribution Certificate upon surrender of the Excess Distribution Certificate to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to paragraph (f) below. 
 An Excess Distribution Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature (other than for transfers or exchanges
to or among any Affiliates of the Depositor) guaranteed by a member firm 

  

 -6- 

 
of the New York Stock Exchange or a commercial bank or trust company. An Excess Distribution Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Eligible Lender Trustee in accordance with its customary practice. 
 No service
charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Excess Distribution Certificate, but the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of the Excess Distribution Certificate. 
 The preceding
provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Eligible Lender Trustee shall not be required to make and the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of the Excess Distribution Certificate for a period of
15 days preceding any Distribution Date with respect to the Excess Distribution Certificate. 
 The Excess Distribution Certificate
(including any beneficial interest therein) may not be acquired by or for the account of (i) any Benefit Plan subject to Title I of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, if such acquisition, or the management or servicing of the Trust or
its assets, would cause a non-exempt prohibited transaction in violation of Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, (ii) any Benefit Plan subject to a substantially similar federal, state, local or foreign law, if such
acquisition would cause a non-exempt violation of such substantially similar law, (iii) any person who is not a United States person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, or (iv) any “pass-thru entity”
referred to in Section 1(h)(10)(D), (E) or (F) of the Code, the income of which pass-thru entity is includible directly or indirectly through one or more other such pass-thru entities by any person referred to in clause
(iii) above. By accepting and holding the Excess Distribution Certificate, the holder hereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not acquiring the Excess Distribution Certificate by or for the account of any entity in
violation of the above restrictions, and to have agreed that if such restrictions are violated, the holder will promptly dispose of the Excess Distribution Certificate. 
 (d) Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Excess Distribution Certificate. If (1) a mutilated Excess Distribution Certificate shall be surrendered to the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar, or if the
Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the Excess Distribution Certificate, and (2) there shall be delivered to the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar and
the Eligible Lender Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and the Trust harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Excess Distribution Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Eligible Lender Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute and the Eligible Lender Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Excess Distribution Certificate, a new
Excess Distribution Certificate of like tenor. In connection with the issuance of any new Excess Distribution Certificate under this Section, the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Excess Distribution Certificate issued pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute conclusive evidence of 

  

 -7- 

 
ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Excess Distribution Certificate shall be found at any time.

 (e) Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of the Excess Distribution Certificate for registration of transfer, the
Eligible Lender Trustee and the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar and any agent of either of them may treat the Person in whose name the Excess Distribution Certificate shall be registered in the Excess Distribution Certificate Register as
the owner of such Excess Distribution Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions thereon and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar nor any agent thereof
shall be bound by any notice to the contrary. 
 (f) Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Eligible Lender Trustee shall maintain in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or offices or agency or agencies where the Excess Distribution Certificate may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Eligible

 (g) Appointment of Excess Distribution Certificate
Paying Agent. The Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent shall make distributions to the Excess Distribution Certificateholder from the amounts received from the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Sections 2.8(l) and 2.9(f) of the
Administration Agreement and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Indenture Trustee (if the Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent is not the Indenture Trustee). Any Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent shall have the
revocable power to receive such funds from the Indenture Trustee for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Eligible Lender Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent if the
Eligible Lender Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. The Excess Distribution Certificate Paying
Agent shall initially be the Indenture Trustee, and any co-paying agent chosen by the Eligible Lender Trustee and consented to by the Administrator (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Indenture Trustee shall be permitted to
resign as Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Eligible Lender Trustee. In the event that the Indenture Trustee shall no longer be the Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent, the Eligible Lender

Distribution Certificate Paying Agent shall agree with the Eligible Lender Trustee that as Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent, such successor Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent or additional Excess Distribution Certificate Paying
Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Excess Distribution Certificateholder in trust for the benefit of such holder until such sums shall be paid to such holder. The Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent shall return
all unclaimed funds to the Eligible Lender Trustee and upon removal of an Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent such Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent shall also return all

funds in its possession to the Eligible Lender Trustee. The provisions of Articles VII and VIII of the Indenture shall apply to the Indenture Trustee also in
its role as Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent, for so long as the Indenture Trustee shall act as Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in
this Agreement to the Excess Distribution Certificate Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise. 
 (h) Restrictions on Transfer of the Excess Distribution Certificate. 
 (i) The Excess Distribution
Certificate may be transferred to any Affiliate of the Depositor, without any requirement to provide any officer’s certificates or legal opinions that would otherwise be required if such proposed transfer was being made to a Person who is not
an Affiliate of the Depositor. 
 (ii) Except as provided above, the Excess Distribution Certificate shall not be sold,
pledged, transferred or assigned except as provided below: 
 (A) The Excess Distribution Certificate has not been registered
or qualified under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities law. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of the Excess Distribution Certificate or any interest therein shall be made
unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such
registration or qualification. In the event that a transfer is to be made without registration or qualification, the Eligible Lender Trustee shall require, in order to assure compliance with such laws, that the prospective transferor and transferee
each certify to the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar, the Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor, in writing, the facts surrounding the transfer. Such certifications shall be
substantially in the forms of Exhibit C hereto and Exhibit D-1 or D-2 hereto, as applicable. In the event that such a transfer is to be made within two years from the date of the initial issuance of the Excess Distribution Certificate pursuant
hereto (other than a transfer as to which the proposed transferee has provided a certificate in the form of Exhibit D-2), the Eligible Lender Trustee in its sole discretion, may require that there shall also be delivered to the Eligible Lender
Trustee, the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar, the Administrator, or, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor, at the expense of the transferor, an opinion of counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from
the Securities Act and such state securities laws. Any such opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar, the Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the
Depositor. None of the Depositor, the Administrator or the Eligible Lender Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Excess Distribution Certificate under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of the Excess Distribution Certificate without registration or qualification. Any such Excess Distribution Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar, the Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the 

  

 -9- 

 
Depositor, against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is made in accordance with such applicable federal and state laws.

 (B) No transfer of the Excess Distribution Certificate will be registered by the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Excess
Distribution Certificate Registrar unless the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Excess Distribution Certificate Registrar, the Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor receives a representation from the proposed transferee
of the Excess Distribution Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 or D-2, as the case may be, that such transferee is not acquiring the Excess Distribution Certificate by or for the account of any entity in violation of the
restrictions set forth in the final paragraph of Section 3.3(c) above. If any proposed transferee shall become an Excess Distribution Certificateholder in violation of these provisions, then the last preceding permitted transferee shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as Excess Distribution Certificateholder, retroactive to the date of registration of such transfer of the Excess Distribution Certificate. Neither the Eligible Lender Trustee nor the Excess
Distribution Certificate Registrar shall have any liability to any person for any registration or transfer of the Excess Distribution Certificate that is not permitted or for making any payments due on the Excess Distribution Certificate to the
holder thereof or for taking any action with respect to such holder under this Agreement. Any proposed transferee who becomes an Excess Distribution Certificateholder shall agree to indemnify the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Excess Distribution
Certificate Registrar, the Administrator, and, if it is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor, against any loss, damage or penalty incurred as a result of the transfer of the Excess Distribution Certificate to such proposed transferee in
violation of such restrictions. 
 (C) The prospective transferee shall be aware that the Excess Distribution Certificate
shall bear legends referring to the restrictions contained in sub-clauses (A) and (B) above and by its acceptance of an Excess Distribution Certificate agrees to abide by such restrictions. 
 (D) The prospective transferee shall deliver an opinion of counsel addressed to the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Administrator, and, if it
is not the proposed transferor, the Depositor, to the effect that, (1) as a matter of federal income tax law, such prospective transferee is permitted to accept the transfer of the Excess Distribution Certificate, (2) such transfer or
pledge would not jeopardize the tax treatment of the Trust, (3) such transfer or pledge would not subject the Trust to any entity-level tax, (4) such transfer or pledge would not jeopardize the status of the Notes as debt for all purposes,
and (5) such pledge or transfer would not cause the Trust to be treated, for federal income tax purposes, as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. 
 (E) No pledge or transfer of the Excess Distribution Certificate shall be effective unless such purchase or transfer is to a single
beneficial owner. 
 (iii) Any Excess Distribution Certificateholder, as evidenced by its agreement to accept the rights
conferred under the Excess Distribution Certificate, is hereby deemed to accept all obligations of the Depositor under this Agreement.

 SECTION 10.1 Eligibility
Requirements for Eligible Lender Trustee and Delaware Trustee. The Eligible Lender Trustee shall at all times be a corporation or association (i) qualifying as an “eligible lender” as such term is defined in Section 435(d) of

exercise corporate trust powers and hold legal title to the Trust Student Loans; (iii) having in effect Guarantee Agreements with each of the Guarantors as may be directed by the Depositor; (iv) having a combined capital and surplus of at

 -20- 

 
$50,000,000 and being subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authorities; (v) having its principal place of business in the State of
Delaware and otherwise complying with Section 3807 of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act; and (vi) having (or having a parent which has) a rating in respect of its long-term senior unsecured debt of at least “BBB-” (or the
equivalent) by each of the Rating Agencies (or which, if the long-term senior unsecured debt of such corporation or association is not rated by any Rating Agency, shall have provided to the Indenture Trustee written confirmation from such Rating
Agency that the appointment of such corporation or association to serve as Eligible Lender Trustee will not result in and of itself in a reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating of any of the Notes). If the Eligible Lender Trustee shall
publish reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of the Eligible Lender Trustee shall
be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Delaware Trustee shall at all times be a corporation satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Delaware Statutory
Trust Act. In case at any time the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case
may be, shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.2. 
 SECTION 10.2 Resignation or
Removal of Eligible Lender Trustee or the Delaware Trustee. The Eligible Lender Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the
Administrator. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, meeting the eligibility requirements of Section 10.1 by written
instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee and one copy to the successor Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee. If no successor Eligible Lender Trustee
or Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable; provided, however, that such right to appoint or to petition for the appointment of any such successor shall in no
event relieve the resigning Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee from any obligations otherwise imposed on it under the Basic Documents until such successor has in fact assumed such appointment. 
 If at any time the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, shall cease to be or shall be likely to cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Administrator, or if at any time an Insolvency Event with respect to the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case
may be, shall have occurred and be continuing, then the Administrator may remove the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable. If the Administrator shall remove the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case
may be, under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Eligible Lender Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the outgoing Eligible Lender Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, so removed and one copy to the successor 

  

 -21- 

 
Eligible Lender Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, and payment of all fees owed to the outgoing Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as
applicable. 
 Any resignation or removal of the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, and appointment of a
successor Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as
applicable, pursuant to Section 10.3, payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, and the filing of a certificate of amendment to the Trust’s certificate of trust
pursuant to Section 3810(b) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. The Administrator shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Eligible Lender Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, and to each of the Rating Agencies.

 SECTION 10.3 Successor Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee. Any successor Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware
Trustee, as applicable, appointed pursuant to Section 10.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrator and to its predecessor Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, an instrument accepting such appointment
under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall become effective and such successor Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware
Trustee, as applicable. The predecessor Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, all documents,
statements, moneys and properties held by it under this Agreement and shall assign, if permissible, to the successor Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, the lender identification number obtained from the Department on behalf
of the Trust; and the Administrator and the predecessor Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and
confirming in the successor Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. 
 No successor Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall accept such appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as
applicable, shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.1. 
 Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Eligible Lender Trustee or
Delaware Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to this Section, the Administrator shall mail notice of the successor of such Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, to the Excess Distribution Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee,
the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. If the Administrator shall fail to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, the successor Eligible Lender
Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Administrator. 
  

 -22- 

 SECTION 10.4 Merger or Consolidation of Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee. Any
corporation or association into which the Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Eligible Lender Trustee or Delaware
Trustee, as applicable, shall, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, be the successor of the Eligible Lender Trustee or
Delaware Trustee, as applicable, hereunder; provided that such corporation or association shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.1; and provided further that the Eligible Lender Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or
consolidation to the Rating Agencies not less than 15 days prior to the effective date thereof and the Delaware Trustee shall file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust as required under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. 
 SECTION 10.5 Appointment of Co-Eligible Lender Trustee or Separate Eligible Lender Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust may at the time be located, the Administrator and the Eligible Lender Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Eligible Lender Trustee, meeting the eligibility requirements of clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 10.1, to act as co-trustee, jointly with the
Eligible Lender Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of
this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Administrator and the Eligible Lender Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request so to do, the Eligible Lender Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee
pursuant to clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) of Section 10.1 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.3. 
 Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

 (i) all rights, powers, duties, and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Eligible Lender Trustee shall be conferred
upon and exercised or performed by the Eligible Lender Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Eligible Lender Trustee
joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Eligible Lender Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
such rights, powers, duties, and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, solely at the direction of the
Eligible Lender Trustee; 
  

 -23- 

 (ii) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and 
 (iii) the Administrator and the Eligible Lender Trustee acting
jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee. 
 Any notice, request or other writing given
to the Eligible Lender Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this
Agreement and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Eligible Lender Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording
protection to, the Eligible Lender Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Eligible Lender Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Administrator. 
 Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Eligible Lender Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or
in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by
the Eligible Lender Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. 
 ARTICLE XI

 Miscellaneous 
 SECTION 11.1 Supplements and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended by the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, without the consent of
any of the Noteholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement or modifying in
any manner the rights of the Noteholders; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder. 
 This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, with prior written
notice to the Rating Agencies, with the consent of (i) the Class A Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes and (ii) the Class B Noteholders evidencing not less than a
majority of the Class B Notes, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of the Class A Noteholders or Class B Noteholders,
as the case may be; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (a) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on Trust Student Loans or distributions 

  

 -24- 

 
that shall be required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount of any class of
Notes required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of all the outstanding Noteholders of such class. 
 Promptly after the
execution of any such amendment or consent, the Eligible Lender Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to the Excess Distribution Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee and each of the Rating
Agencies.

Basic Document) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Eligible Lender Trustee may prescribe. 
 Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Delaware Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely

ownership interest in the Trust Estate shall operate to terminate this Agreement or the trusts hereunder or entitle any transferee to an accounting or to the transfer to it of legal title to any part of the Trust Estate.

the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Depositor, the Excess Distribution Certificateholder, the Administrator and, to the extent expressly provided herein, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, and nothing in this Agreement
(other than Section 2.7), whether express or implied, shall be construed to give to any other Person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim in the Trust Estate or under this Agreement or any covenants, conditions or provisions contained
herein. 
 SECTION 11.4 Notices. Unless otherwise expressly specified or permitted by the terms hereof, all notices shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given upon receipt by the intended recipient or three Business Days after mailing if mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid (except that notice to the Eligible Lender Trustee shall be deemed given only upon actual

jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction.

hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

any action with respect to, any insolvency proceeding that was instituted against the Issuer by a Person other than the Eligible Lender Trustee. 
 SECTION 11.9 No Recourse. Each Excess Distribution Certificateholder by accepting its Excess Distribution Certificate acknowledges that such holder’s certificate represents beneficial interests in the Trust only and do

Depositor, the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and the Indenture Trustee acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article XII of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor and the Issuer with the provisions of
Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. 
 Neither the Depositor, the Eligible Lender Trustee, the Delaware
Trustee, nor the Indenture Trustee shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act). The Indenture Trustee acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of

requests made by the Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection therewith, the Indenture Trustee, the Eligible Lender Trustee and the Delaware
Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Depositor to deliver to the Depositor (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all statements, reports, certifications, records, attestations, and any other information necessary in the good faith
