loan to Holdco or Canadian License Co. If Holdco or Canadian License Co. and Newco are unable to agree on the form or terms of financial support to be provided within ten (10) Business Days following the date that the request for financial
support is made, then the request for financial support shall be deemed to be a request for financial support by the purchase by 

  

 - 8 - 

	 	 
Newco of non-voting common shares of Holdco or Canadian License Co. at a price of $1 per share. Such non-voting common shares shall rank pari passu with the
common shares of Holdco or Canadian License Co., as the case may be. 

  

	 	(b)	Within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt by Newco of such request and such other documentation as is reasonably required by Newco concerning such Operating Cash
Shortfall, Newco shall provide the financial support requested. 

  

	 	(c)	For purposes of this Section 4.4, “Operating Cash Shortfall” means a cash shortfall arising in the ordinary course of Business and includes any cash required for the
payment of any taxes attributable to the operations or activities of Holdco or Canadian License Co. but which, for greater certainty, does not include cash needs arising from any extraordinary loss, any writedown of assets or any cash needs arising
from an action which constitutes a breach by Holdco or Canadian License Co. of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(d)	Newco’s obligations to provide financial support for Operating Cash Shortfalls of Holdco or Canadian License Co. pursuant to this Section shall terminate upon the earlier of:
(i) the termination of this Agreement; (ii) a change of control of Canadian License Co.; or (iii) the fifth anniversary following the First Closing, as such term is defined in the Amended and Restated Investment Agreement dated
October 12, 2001, as amended, between Motient Corporation, Mobile Satellite Ventures LLC, TMI and certain Investors. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Newco’s obligations to provide financial support for such Operating Cash Shortfalls
shall apply to all Operating Cash Shortfalls incurred prior to the termination of Newco’s obligations hereunder and shall be satisfied in full, notwithstanding that the Parties may receive notice of such Operating Cash Shortfalls, including tax
liabilities and payments, after the termination of Newco’s obligations to provide financial support for Operating Cash Shortfalls of Holdco and Canadian License Co.

	 	(a)	Any transfer of Shares of Holdco or of Canadian License Co. must be in compliance with all Canadian laws, including the Restrictions. 

  

	 	(b)	Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in any other agreement between the Shareholders, or as may otherwise be provided in the articles or agreed to in writing by the
Shareholders, no Shareholder shall, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, or create any Lien on (collectively, “transfer”) any Shares held by it, or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any voting rights with respect
to its Shares, to any Person, except with the consent of the Shareholders. 

  

	 	(c)	Any transfer in violation of this Agreement shall be void and shall not be recorded on the books or records of Holdco or Canadian License Co. 

 Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement and Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Newco Limited Partnership Agreement), TMI shall be permitted to
transfer control of Canadian License Co. to (i) an Affiliate of TMI or (ii) a transferee that is not an Affiliate of TMI, provided that (A) such transferee has agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of an agreement
substantially similar to the Non-Interference Agreement, of even date herewith between BCE Inc. and Newco; or (B) if such transferee is not willing to sign such non-interference agreement, such transferee is reasonably acceptable to Newco and
to the Canadian regulatory authorities. In addition to the foregoing, the transferee, whether an Affiliate of TMI or not, must also be the transferee of TMI’s interest in Newco. 
  

	 	(d)	 If any company that directly or indirectly owns or controls TMI wishes to transfer its interest in TMI to a third party, TMI shall forthwith give notice (the
“TMI Notice”) to Newco of such proposed transfer and Newco shall be entitled, subject to the Restrictions, to purchase, or designate an Eligible Purchaser to purchase, all, but not less than all, of the Shares of Holdco owned by TMI. If
Newco wishes to exercise the right to purchase provided for in this Section, it shall give notice to TMI within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the TMI Notice, advising TMI of its intention to exercise such rights under this Section. The
price to be paid for TMI’s Shares of Holdco pursuant to this Section shall be their book value. The purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Section shall be completed on the fifth day following the later of the delivery by Newco
of its notice and receipt of all 

  

 - 14 - 

	 	 
governmental approvals, if any, required in connection with such purchase. If an Eligible Purchaser is designated to purchase such Shares it shall do so on
such terms as the Eligible Purchaser and Newco may agree; provided that the purchase price shall not be less than the book value of such Shares. 

  

	6.2	Transfers Among Controlled Affiliates 

  

	 	(a)	Shareholders shall be entitled to transfer Shares to an entity that controls the Shareholder (“Parentco”) or to an entity which is controlled directly or indirectly by
Parentco, provided that the transferee executes a signature page to this Agreement and continues to be bound hereby. 

  

	 	(b)	If all of the issued and outstanding shares of the entity to which the Shares are transferred ceases to be controlled, directly or indirectly, by Parentco, then such entity shall
immediately transfer the Shares back to Parentco or at the direction of Parentco, to one of its wholly-controlled subsidiaries, and if they are not so transferred, the event giving rise to the ceasing of such entity being a controlled entity shall
be deemed a transfer in violation of this Agreement, and the provision of Section 6.1(c) above shall apply. 

  

	6.3	Non-Canadian Shareholder’s Right to Obtain Shares 

 If changes
are made to the Restrictions, the effect of which would be to allow Newco to increase its ownership interest in the Holdco Common Shares or the Canadian License Co. Common Shares, TMI will transfer such shares as are permitted by any change made to
the Restrictions to Newco for $1.00 per Share. 
  

	6.4	Insolvency of any Shareholder 

  

	 	(a)	If TMI makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or is the subject of any involuntary proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law which proceeding is not dismissed
within thirty (30) days, avails itself of the benefit of any other legislation for the benefit of debtors or takes steps to wind-up or terminate its existence (each a “TMI Insolvency Event”), Newco shall be entitled, subject to the
Restrictions, to purchase, or designate an Eligible Purchaser to purchase, all, but not less than all, of the Shares of Holdco beneficially owned by TMI or all, but not less than all, of the Shares of Canadian License Co. beneficially owned by
Holdco. If Newco wishes to exercise the right to purchase provided for in this Section, it shall give notice within thirty (30) days of becoming aware of the TMI Insolvency Event, to Holdco of its intention to exercise such rights under this
Section. The price to be paid for such Shares pursuant to this Section shall be their book value. The purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Section shall be completed on the fifth day following the later of the delivery by Newco of
its notice and receipt of all governmental approvals, if any, required in connection with such purchase. If an Eligible Purchaser is designated to purchase such Shares it shall do so on such terms as the Eligible Purchaser and Newco may agree;
provided that the purchase price shall not be less than the book value of such Shares. 

  

 - 15 - 

	 	(b)	If Newco makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or is the subject of any involuntary proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law which proceeding is not dismissed
within thirty (30) days, avails itself of the benefit of any other legislation for the benefit of debtors or takes steps to wind-up or terminate its existence (each a “Newco Insolvency Event”), TMI shall be entitled, subject to the
Restrictions, to purchase, or designate an Eligible Purchaser to purchase, all, but not less than all, of the Shares of Holdco and Canadian License Co. beneficially owned by Newco. If TMI wishes to exercise the right to purchase provided for in this
Section, it shall give notice within thirty (30) days of becoming aware of the Newco Insolvency Event, to Holdco of its intention to exercise such rights under this Section. The price to be paid for such Shares pursuant to this Section shall be
their book value. The purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Section shall be completed on the fifth day following the later of the delivery by TMI of its notice and receipt of all governmental approvals, if any, required in
connection with such purchase. If an Eligible Purchaser is designated to purchase such Shares it shall do so on such terms as the Eligible Purchaser and TMI may agree; provided that the purchase price shall not be less than the book value of such
Shares. 

  

	6.5	Endorsement on Certificates 

 Share certificates of Holdco or
Canadian License Co. shall bear the following language either as an endorsement or on the face of such share certificate:

represented by this certificate are subject to all the terms and conditions of a unanimous shareholders’ agreement made [date of shareholders agreement], as it may be amended, which agreement contains, among other things, restrictions on
the right of the holder hereof to transfer or sell the shares. A copy of such agreement is on file at the registered office of the corporation.” 
  

	6.6	Termination of Rights/Termination Restrictions, etc. 

 The
restrictions on transfer shall not apply to sales in an underwritten registered or public offering pursuant to the securities laws in Canada or in the United States.

transferor(s) shall deliver to Holdco or Canadian License Co., all records, accounts and other documents in its possession belonging to Holdco or Canadian License Co. and the resignations and releases of its nominees on the Board (including the
resignation of such Persons as officers of the Corporation), all such resignations to be effective no later than the time of delivery. All agreements between the transferring Shareholder or any of its Affiliates and Holdco or Canadian License Co.
shall be terminated upon the completion of such transfer. The transferee(s) shall deliver to the transferor(s) certified cheques or wire transfer in immediately available funds in full payment of the purchase price payable for the Shares being
transferred. 

  

	 	(b)	If, at the time of closing, a transferor fails to complete the subject transaction of purchase and sale, the transferee shall have the right, if not in default under this Agreement,
without prejudice to any other rights which it may have, upon payment of that part of the purchase price payable to the transferor at the time of closing to the credit of the transferor in the main branch of Holdco’s or Canadian License
Co.’s bank, to execute and deliver, on behalf of and in the name of the transferor, such deeds, transfers, share certificates, resignations or other documents that may be necessary to complete the subject transaction and the transferor hereby
irrevocably appoints the transferee its attorney in that behalf. Such appointment and power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, shall not be revoked by the insolvency or bankruptcy of the transferor and the transferor hereby ratifies and
confirms and agrees to ratify and confirm all that the transferee may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of such appointment and power. 

  

	 	(c)	If any transfer is subject to review under the provisions of the Investment Canada Act, the Competition Act (Canada) or the Canada Communications Statutes then the closing of such
transfer shall be conditional upon the approval or deemed approval of the appropriate governmental or regulatory authorities, on terms and conditions satisfactory to the transferee and the closing of such transfer shall be delayed until the receipt
of such approvals or deemed approvals. 

  

	7.2	Arrangements Regarding Guarantees

Shares is to be made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the transferor is a guarantor of all or part of any indebtedness or obligations of Holdco or Canadian License Co. then any transferee who or which is bound by this Agreement hereby
agrees to obtain, at the time of completion of such transfer, a release of any such guarantee from the holders of such guarantee, provided that if, after using reasonable efforts, such transferee is unable to obtain such release, the transferee as a
condition precedent to the completion of the transfer, shall deliver in lieu of such release, an indemnity or other security of a Canadian chartered bank indemnifying and saving fully harmless the transferor from any liability or loss which may be
suffered or incurred by one or more of them in respect of any such guarantee.

termination, again be available for making Grants under the Plan. 
 5. GRANT ELIGIBILITY 
 5.1 Employees and Other Service Providers.

shall be consistent with the terms of the Plan. 
 7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS 
 7.1 Option Price. 
 The Option Price of each
Option shall be fixed by the Board and stated in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option. The Option Price shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit on the Grant Date, if the Board wishes to provide favorable tax treatment under
applicable law and the Board has been advised that this restriction is required to ensure favorable tax treatment under applicable law. In addition, the Board otherwise shall establish the Option Price in observance of the guidelines under
applicable law. 
 7.2 Vesting. 
 Subject to Sections 7.3 and 17.3 hereof, each Option granted under the Plan shall become exercisable at such times and under such conditions as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the Award Agreement, provided,
however, that to the extent required by applicable law each Option shall become exercisable no less rapidly than the rate of twenty percent (20%) per year for each of the first five (5) years from the Grant Date based on continued Service.
Subject to the preceding sentence, the Board may provide, for example, in the Award Agreement for (i) accelerated exerciseability of the Option in the event the Grantee’s Service terminates on account of death, Disability or another event,
(ii) expiration of the Option prior to its term in the event of the termination of the Grantee’s Service, (iii) immediate forfeiture of the Option in the event the Grantee’s Service is terminated for Cause or (iv) unvested
Options to be exercised subject to the Partnership’s right of repurchase with respect to unvested Units. For purposes of this Section 7.2, fractional numbers of Units subject to an Option shall be rounded down to the next nearest

 -8- 

 7.3 Term. 
 Each Option granted under the Plan shall terminate, and all rights to purchase Units thereunder shall cease, upon the expiration of ten years from the Grant Date, or under such circumstances and on such date prior
thereto as is set forth in the Plan or as may be fixed by the Board and stated in the Award Agreement relating to such Option. 
 7.4
Exercise of Options on Termination of Service. 
 Each Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Grantee shall have the right to
exercise the Option following the date of notice of dismissal or notice of termination of the Grantee’s Service. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Board, need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to
the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required by applicable law, each Option shall provide at a minimum that the Grantee shall have the right to exercise
the vested portion of any Option held at the date on which notice of dismissal or notice of termination is conveyed to the employee for at least thirty (30) days following such notice of dismissal or notice of termination of Service for any
reason (other than for Cause), and that the Grantee shall have the right to exercise the Option for at least six (6) months if the Grantee’s Service terminates due to death or Disability. 
 7.5 Limitations on Exercise of Option. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in no event may any Option be exercised, in whole or in part, prior to the date the Plan is approved by the Partnership, or after ten years following the Grant Date, or after the occurrence
of an event referred to in Section 17 hereof which results in termination of the Option. 
 7.6 Exercise Procedure. 

An Option that is exercisable may be exercised by the Grantee’s delivery to the Partnership of written notice of exercise on any business day, at
the Partnership’s principal office, on the form specified by the Partnership. Such notice shall specify the number of Units with respect to which the Option is being exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price of
the Units for which the Option is being exercised. The minimum number of Units 

  

 -9- 

 
with respect to which an Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time shall be the lesser of (i) 100 Units or such lesser number set forth
in the applicable Award Agreement and (ii) the maximum number of Units available for purchase under the Option at the time of exercise. The Option Price shall be payable in a form described in Section 12. 
 7.7 Right of Holders of Options. 
 Unless
otherwise stated in the applicable Award Agreement, an individual holding or exercising an Option shall have none of the rights of a Member under the LP Agreement until the Units covered thereby are fully paid and issued to such individual and such
individual has executed the LP Agreement or such other documents required by the Board. 
 7.8 Repurchase Right. 
 The Partnership shall have the right to purchase all of those Units that the Grantee has acquired or will acquire under the Option on the terms and
conditions set forth in the applicable Award Agreement and subject to applicable law. At a minimum, to the extent required by applicable law the Partnership must consummate any repurchase within 90 days after the termination of Service or, in the
case of Units acquired after a Grantee’s termination of Service, within 90 days of the date of exercise. To the extent required by applicable law the repurchase must be made at the Fair Market Value of the Units on the date of the
Grantee’s termination of Service. The Partnership’s rights of repurchase shall terminate in the event that the Units are listed on an established national or regional stock exchange, are admitted for quotation on The NASDAQ Stock Market,
or are publicly traded in an established securities market. 
 8. TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS 
 8.1 Transferability of Options. 
 Except as
provided in Section 8.2, during the lifetime of a Grantee, only the Grantee (or, in the event of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Grantee’s guardian or legal representative) may exercise an Option. Except as provided in
Section 8.2, no Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Grantee to whom it is granted, other than by will, or the laws of descent and distribution. 
  

 -10- 

 8.2 Family Transfers. 
 If authorized in the applicable Award Agreement and subject to applicable law, a Grantee may transfer, not for value, all or part of an Option to any Family Member. For the purpose of this Section 8.2, a
“not for value” transfer is a transfer which is (i) a gift, (ii) a transfer under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights; or (iii) a transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent of the
voting interests are owned by Family Members (or the Grantee) in exchange for an interest in that entity. Following a transfer under this Section 8.2, any such Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were
applicable immediately prior to transfer, and Units acquired pursuant to the Option shall be subject to the same restrictions on transfer of Units as would have applied to the Grantee. Subsequent transfers of transferred Options are prohibited
except to Family Members of the original Grantee in accordance with this Section 8.2 or by will, or the laws of descent and distribution. The events of termination of Service under an Option shall continue to be applied with respect to
the original Grantee, following which the Option shall be exercisable by the transferee only to the extent, and for the periods specified in the applicable Award Agreement, and the Units may be subject to repurchase by the Partnership or its
assignee. 
  

 -11- 

 9. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 
 The Board is authorized to grant SARs to Grantees on the following terms and conditions: 
 9.1 Right to
Payment. 
 A SAR shall confer on the Grantee to whom it is granted a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (A) the Fair
Market Value of one Unit on the date of exercise over (B) the grant price of the SAR as determined by the Board. The Award Agreement for a SAR shall specify the grant price of the SAR, which may be fixed at the Fair Market Value of a Unit on
the date of grant or may vary in accordance with a predetermined formula while the SAR is outstanding. 
 9.2 Other Terms. 
 The Board shall determine at the date of grant or thereafter, the time or times at which and the circumstances under which a SAR may be exercised in whole
or in part (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), the time or times at which SARs shall cease to be or become exercisable following termination of Service or upon other conditions, the method of
exercise, method of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, method by or forms in which Units will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Grantees, whether or not a SAR shall be in tandem or in combination with any other Grant,
and any other terms and conditions of any SAR. 
 10. RESTRICTED UNITS AND PHANTOM UNITS 
 10.1 Grant of Restricted Units or Phantom Units. 
 The Board may from time to time grant Restricted Units or Phantom Units to persons eligible to receive Grants under Section 5.1 hereof, subject to such restrictions, conditions and other terms, if any, as the Board may
determine. Grants of Restricted Units may be made for no consideration. 
 10.2 Restrictions. 
 At the time a Grant of Restricted Units or Phantom Units is made, the Board may, in its sole discretion, establish a period of time (a “restricted
period”) applicable to such Restricted Units or Phantom Units. Each Grant of Restricted Units or Phantom Units may be subject to a different restricted period. The Board may, in its sole discretion, at the time a grant of Restricted Units or
Phantom Units is made, prescribe restrictions in addition to or other than the expiration of the 

  

 -12- 

 
restricted period, including the satisfaction of partnership or individual performance objectives, which may be applicable to all or any portion of the
Restricted Units or Phantom Units. Neither Restricted Units nor Phantom Units may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of during the restricted period or prior to the satisfaction of any other restrictions
prescribed by the Board with respect to such Restricted Units or Phantom Units. 
 10.3 Restricted Unit Certificates. 
 The Partnership shall issue, in the name of each Grantee to whom Restricted Units has been granted, certificates representing the total number of
Restricted Units granted to the Grantee, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Grant Date. The Board may provide in an Award Agreement that either (i) the Secretary of the Partnership shall hold such certificates for the Grantee’s
benefit until such time as the Restricted Unit is forfeited to the Partnership or the restrictions lapse, or (ii) such certificates shall be delivered to the Grantee, provided, however, that such certificates shall bear a legend
or legends that comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and makes appropriate reference to the restrictions imposed under the Plan and the Award Agreement. 
 10.4 Rights of Holders of Restricted Units. 
 Unless the Board otherwise provides in an Award Agreement, holders of Restricted Units shall have the right to vote such Units and the right to receive any distributions paid by the Partnership with respect to such Units. The Board may
provide that any distributions by the Partnership on Restricted Units must be reinvested in Units, which may or may not be subject to the same vesting conditions and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Units. All distributions, if any,
received by a Grantee with respect to Restricted Units shall be subject to the restrictions applicable to the original Grant. 
 10.5 Rights
of Holders of Phantom Units. 
 10.5.1 Voting and Dividend Rights. 
 Unless the Board otherwise provides in an Award Agreement, holders of Phantom Units shall have no rights as Members of the Partnership. The Board may
provide in an Award Agreement evidencing a grant of Phantom Units that the holder of such Units shall be entitled to receive distributions upon the Partnership’s payment of distributions. Such Award Agreement may also provide that such
distribution will be deemed reinvested in additional Phantom Units at a price per Phantom Unit equal to the Fair Market Value of a Unit on the date of the distribution. 
  

 -13- 

 10.5.2 Creditor’s Rights. 
 A holder of Phantom Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Partnership. Phantom Units represent an unfunded and
unsecured obligation of the Partnership, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement. 
 10.6 Termination of
Service. 
 Unless the Board otherwise provides in an Award Agreement or in writing after the Award Agreement is issued, upon the termination
of a Grantee’s Service, any Restricted Units or Phantom Units held by such Grantee that have not vested, or with respect to which all applicable restrictions and conditions have not lapsed, shall immediately be deemed forfeited. Upon forfeiture
of Restricted Units or Phantom Units, the Grantee shall have no further rights with respect to such Grant, including but not limited to any right to vote Restricted Units or any right to receive distributions with respect to Restricted Units or
Phantom Units. 
 10.7 Purchase of Restricted Units. 
 The Grantee shall be required, to the extent required by applicable law, to purchase the Restricted Units from the Partnership at a Purchase Price equal to the greater of (i) the aggregate par value of the Units
represented by such Restricted Units or (ii) the Purchase Price, if any, specified in the Award Agreement relating to such Restricted Units. The Purchase Price shall be payable in a form described in Section 11 or, in the discretion
of the Board, in consideration for past Services rendered. 
 10.8 Delivery of Units. 
 Upon the expiration or termination of any restricted period and the satisfaction of any other conditions prescribed by the Board, the restrictions
applicable to Restricted Units or Phantom Units shall lapse, and, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, Units shall be delivered, free of all such restrictions, to the Grantee or the Grantee’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may
be. 
 11. OTHER UNIT-BASED GRANTS 
 The
Board shall have the discretion and authority to grant to eligible persons an “Other Unit-Based Grant,” which shall consist of any right that is (i) not a Grant described in Sections 7 through 10 above and (ii) a
Grant of Units or a Grant denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Units (including, without limitation, securities or rights convertible into Units), as deemed by the Board to be
consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the Board shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Other Unit-Based Grant. 
  

 -14- 

 12. FORM OF PAYMENT 
 12.1 General Rule. 
 Payment of the Option Price for the Units purchased pursuant to the exercise of an
Option or payment of the Purchase Price for Restricted Units shall be made in cash or in cash equivalents acceptable to the Partnership. 
 12.2 Surrender of Units Following Triggering Event or Change of Control. 
 To the extent the Award Agreement so provides and subject
to applicable law, following a Triggering Event or a Change of Control, payment of the Option Price for Units purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option or the Purchase Price for Restricted Units may be made all or in part through the tender to
the Partnership of Units (or stock, if applicable), which Units, if acquired from the Partnership, shall have been held for at least six months at the time of tender and which shall be valued, for purposes of determining the Option Price and
Purchase Price, at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. 
 12.3 Cashless Exercise. 
 With respect to an Option only, to the extent the Award Agreement so provides and subject to applicable law, if there has been a Triggering Event or a
Change of Control and the Units have become publicly traded, payment of the Option Price for Units (or shares, if applicable) purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form acceptable to the Board)
of an irrevocable direction to a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Partnership to sell Units subject to the Option and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Partnership in payment of the Option Price and any withholding
taxes described in Section 13. 
 12.4 Promissory Note. 
 To the extent the Award Agreement so provides, payment of the Option Price for Units purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option or the Purchase Price
for Restricted Units may be made all or in part with a full recourse promissory note executed by the Grantee. The interest rate and other terms and conditions of such note shall be determined by the Board. The Board may require that the Grantee
pledge the Units subject to the Grant for the purpose of securing payment of the note. In no event shall ownership certificate(s) representing the Units be released to the Grantee until such note is paid in full. 
  

 -15- 

 13. WITHHOLDING TAXES 
 The Partnership or any Affiliate, as the case may be, shall have the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to a Grantee any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld
with respect to the vesting of or other lapse of restrictions applicable to a Grant, upon the issuance of any Units upon the exercise of an Option or otherwise pursuant to a Grant. At the time of such vesting, lapse or exercise, the Grantee shall
pay to the Partnership or Affiliate, as the case may be, any amount that the Partnership or Affiliate may reasonably determine to be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligation. Subject to applicable law and to the prior approval of the
Partnership or the Affiliate, which may be withheld by the Partnership or the Affiliate, as the case may be, in its sole discretion, the Grantee may elect to satisfy such obligations, in whole or in part, (i) by causing the Partnership or the
Affiliate to withhold Units otherwise issuable to the Grantee or (ii) by delivering to the Partnership or the Affiliate Units already owned by the Grantee. The Units so delivered or withheld shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to
such withholding obligations. The Fair Market Value of the Units used to satisfy such withholding obligation shall be determined by the Partnership or the Affiliate as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. A Grantee
who has made an election pursuant to this Section 12 may satisfy his or her withholding obligation only with Units that are not subject to any forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or other similar requirements. 
 14. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF UNITS 
 14.1 Right of
First Refusal. 
 Subject to Section 14.4 below, a Grantee (or such other individual who is entitled to exercise an Option) shall
not sell, pledge, assign, gift, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any Units acquired pursuant to a Grant to any person or entity without first offering such Units to the Partnership for purchase on the same terms and conditions as those offered the
proposed transferee. The Partnership may assign its right of first refusal under this Section 14.1 in whole or in part, to (i) any holder of Units of the Partnership, (ii) any Affiliate or (iii) any other person or entity
that the Board determines has a sufficient relationship with or interest in the Partnership. The Partnership shall give reasonable written notice to the Grantee of any such assignment of its rights. The restrictions of this Section 14.1
apply to any person to whom Units that were originally acquired pursuant to a Grant are sold, pledged, assigned, bequeathed, gifted, transferred or otherwise disposed of, without regard to the number of such subsequent transferees or the manner
in which they acquire the Units but the restrictions of this Section 14.1 do not apply to a transfer of Units that occur as a result of the death of the Grantee 

  

 -16- 

 
or of any subsequent transferee (but shall apply to the executor, the administrator or personal representative, the estate, and the legatees, beneficiaries
and assigns thereof). 
 14.2 Repurchase and Other Rights. 
 Units issued upon exercise of an Option may be subject to such right of repurchase or other transfer restrictions as the Board may determine, consistent with applicable law. Any such additional restriction shall be
set forth in the Award Agreement. 
 14.3 Publicly Traded Stock. 
 If the Partnership’s Units are listed on an established national or regional stock exchange or is admitted to quotation on The NASDAQ Stock Market,
or are publicly traded in an established securities market, the right of first refusal under Section 14.1 shall terminate as of the first date that the Units are so listed, quoted or publicly traded. 
 14.4 Legend. 
 In order to enforce the
restrictions imposed upon Units under this Plan or as provided in an Award Agreement, the Board may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any certificate representing Units issued pursuant to this Plan that complies with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and makes appropriate reference to the restrictions imposed under it. 
 15. PARACHUTE LIMITATIONS 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or of any other agreement, contract, or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into by a Grantee
with the Partnership or any Affiliate, except an agreement, contract, or understanding hereafter entered into that expressly modifies or excludes application of this paragraph (an “Other Agreement”), and notwithstanding any formal or
informal plan or other arrangement for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to the Grantee (including groups or classes of participants or beneficiaries of which the Grantee is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is
in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for the Grantee (a “Benefit Arrangement”), if the Grantee is a “disqualified individual,” as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code, any Option, Restricted Unit or Phantom Unit
held by that Grantee and any right to receive any payment or other benefit under this Plan shall not become exercisable or vested (i) to the extent that such right to exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit, taking 

  

 -17- 

 
into account all other rights, payments, or benefits to or for the Grantee under this Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements, would cause
any payment or benefit to the Grantee under this Plan to be considered a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code as then in effect (a “Parachute Payment”) and (ii) if, as a result of
receiving a Parachute Payment, the aggregate after-tax amounts received by the Grantee from the Partnership under this Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements would be less than the maximum after-tax amount that could be received by
the Grantee without causing any such payment or benefit to be considered a Parachute Payment. In the event that the receipt of any such right to exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit under this Plan, in conjunction with all other rights, payments,
or benefits to or for the Grantee under any Other Agreement or any Benefit Arrangement would cause the Grantee to be considered to have received a Parachute Payment under this Plan that would have the effect of decreasing the after-tax amount
received by the Grantee as described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, then the Grantee shall have the right, in the Grantee’s sole discretion, to designate those rights, payments, or benefits under this Plan, any Other Agreements,
and any Benefit Arrangements that should be reduced or eliminated so as to avoid having the payment or benefit to the Grantee under this Plan be deemed to be a Parachute Payment. 
 16. REQUIREMENTS OF LAW 
 16.1 General. 
 The Partnership shall not be required to sell or issue any Units under any Grant if the sale or issuance of such Units would constitute a violation by the
Grantee, any other individual exercising a right emanating from such Grant, or the Partnership of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation any federal or state or provincial securities laws
or regulations. If at any time the Partnership shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of any Units subject to a Grant upon any securities exchange or under any governmental regulatory body is necessary or
desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of Units hereunder, no Units may be issued or sold to the Grantee or any other individual exercising an Option pursuant to such Grant unless such listing, registration,
qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Partnership, and any delay caused thereby shall in no way affect the date of termination of the Grant. Specifically, in connection
with the Securities Act, upon the exercise of any right emanating from such Grant, unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is in effect with respect to the Units covered by such Grant, the Partnership shall not be required to sell
or issue such Units 

  

 -18- 

 
unless the Board has received evidence satisfactory to it that the Grantee or any other individual exercising an Option may acquire such Units pursuant to an
exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Any determination in this connection by the Board shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The Partnership may, but shall in no event be obligated to, register any securities covered hereby
pursuant to the Securities Act. The Partnership shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of an Option or the issuance of Units pursuant to the Plan to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental
authority. As to any jurisdiction that expressly imposes the requirement that an Option shall not be exercisable until the Units covered by such Option are registered or are exempt from registration, the exercise of such Option (under circumstances
in which the laws of such jurisdiction apply) shall be deemed conditioned upon the effectiveness of such registration or the availability of such an exemption. 
 16.2 Rule 16b-3. 
 During any time when the Partnership has a class of equity security registered under
Section 12 of the Exchange Act, it is the intent of the Partnership that Grants pursuant to the Plan and the exercise of Options granted hereunder will qualify for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. To the extent that
any provision of the Plan or action by the Board does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3, it shall be deemed inoperative to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Board, and shall not affect the validity of the Plan. In
the event that Rule 16b-3 is revised or replaced, the Board may exercise its discretion to modify this Plan in any respect necessary to satisfy the requirements of, or to take advantage of any features of, the revised exemption or its replacement.

 16.3 Financial Reports. 
 To
the extent required by applicable law, not less often than annually, the Partnership shall furnish to Grantees summary financial information including a balance sheet regarding the Partnership’s financial condition and results of operations,
unless such Grantees have duties with the Partnership that assure them access to equivalent information. Such financial statements need not be audited. 
  

 -19- 

 17. EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION 
 17.1 Changes in Units. 
 The number of Units
for which Grants may be made under the Plan shall be proportionately increased or decreased for any increase or decrease in the number of Units on account of any recapitalization, reclassification, split in Units, reverse split, combination of
Units, exchange of Units or other distribution payable in capital interests, or for any other increase or decrease in such Units effected without receipt of consideration by the Partnership occurring after the effective date of this Plan (any such
event hereafter referred to as a “Partnership Event”). In addition, subject to the exception set forth in the last sentence of Section 17.5, the number of Units for which Grants are outstanding shall be proportionately
increased or decreased for any increase or decrease in the number of Units on account of any Partnership Event. Any such adjustment in outstanding Options or SARs shall not change the aggregate Option Price or SAR Exercise Price payable with respect
to Units that are subject to the unexercised portion of an Option or SAR outstanding but shall include a corresponding proportionate adjustment in the Option Price or SAR Exercise Price per Unit. The conversion of any convertible securities of the
Partnership shall not be treated as an increase in Units effected without receipt of consideration. 
 17.2 Reorganization in Which the
Partnership Is the Surviving Entity and in Which No Change of Control Occurs. 
 Subject to the exception set forth in the last sentence of
Section 17.5, if the Partnership shall be the surviving entity in any reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Partnership with one or more other entities and in which no Change of Control occurs, any Option or SAR theretofore
made pursuant to the Plan shall pertain to and apply solely to the Units to which a holder of the number of Units subject to such Option or SAR would have been entitled immediately following such reorganization, merger, or consolidation with a
corresponding proportionate adjustment of the Option Price or SAR Exercise Price per Unit so that the aggregate Option Price or SAR Exercise Price thereafter shall be the same as the aggregate Option Price or SAR Exercise Price of the Units
remaining subject to the Option or SAR immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, or consolidation. 
  

 -20- 

 17.3 Reorganization, Sale of Assets or Sale of Units Which Involves a Change of Control. 
 Subject to the exceptions set forth in the last sentence of this Section 17.3 and the last sentence of Section 17.5: (i) upon
the occurrence of a Change of Control, all outstanding Restricted Units shall be deemed to have vested, and all restrictions and conditions applicable to such Restricted Units shall be deemed to have lapsed, immediately prior to the occurrence of
such Change of Control, (ii) either of the following two actions shall be taken: (A) fifteen days prior to the scheduled consummation of a Change of Control, all Options and SARs outstanding hereunder shall become immediately exercisable
and shall remain exercisable for a period of fifteen days, or (B) the Board may elect, in its sole discretion, to cancel any outstanding Options and SARs and pay or deliver, or cause to be paid or delivered, to the holder thereof an amount in
cash or securities having a value (as determined by the Board acting in good faith) equal to the product of the number of Units subject to the Option or the SAR (the “Option or SAR Units”) multiplied by the amount, if any, by which
(I) the formula or fixed price per Unit paid to holders of Units pursuant to such transaction exceeds (II) the Option Price or SAR Exercise Price applicable to such Option or SAR Units. 
 With respect to the Partnership’s establishment of an exercise window, (x) any exercise of an Option or SAR during such fifteen-day period
shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the event and shall be effective only immediately before the consummation of the event, and (y) upon consummation of any Change of Control, the Plan and all outstanding but unexercised Options and
SARs shall terminate. The Board shall send written notice of an event that will result in such a termination to all individuals who hold Options or SARs not later than the time at which the Partnership gives notice thereof to its Members.
Section 17.3 shall not apply to any Change of Control to the extent that provision is made in writing in connection with such Change of Control for the assumption or continuation of the Options, SARs or Restricted Units theretofore
granted, or for the substitution for such Options, SARs or Restricted Units for new options, stock appreciation rights or restricted units relating to the units of a successor entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments
as to the number of units (disregarding any consideration that is not common units) and option and stock appreciation right prices, in which event the Plan, Options, SARs and Restricted Units theretofore granted shall continue in the manner and
under the terms so provided. 
 17.4 Conversion. 
 Upon a Triggering Event, all Grants under the Plan shall be exchanged for or converted into, in either a direct exchange or pursuant to a merger or other 

  

 -21- 

 
reorganization transaction, options to acquire shares, stock appreciation rights or restricted stock of the resulting corporation’s common stock;
provided, however, that if the conversion or exchange would violate applicable laws, vested Grants shall be converted to cash and unvested Grants may be cancelled. In the case of a conversion or exchange of Options or SARs, the conversion ratio
shall be the same as for Membership Interests and the Option Price or the SAR Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted. 
 17.5
Adjustments. 
 Adjustments under Section 17 related to Units shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect
shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional Units or other securities shall be issued pursuant to any such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the
nearest whole Unit. The Board may provide in the Award Agreements at the time of Grant, or any time thereafter with the consent of the Grantee, for different provisions to apply to a Grant in place of those described in Section 17.1, 17.2,
17.3 and 17.4. 
 17.6 No Limitations on Partnership. 
 The making of Grants pursuant to the Plan shall not affect or limit in any way the right or power of the Partnership to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business
structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 
 18. DURATION AND
AMENDMENTS 
 18.1 Term of the Plan. 
 The Effective Date of this Plan is the date of its adoption by the Board, subject to the approval of the Plan by the Partnership’s Members. The Plan shall terminate automatically ten (10) years after its adoption by the Board and
may be terminated on any earlier date as next provided. 
 18.2 Amendment and Termination of the Plan. 
 The Board may, at any time and from time to time, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan as to any Units as to which Grants have not been made. An
amendment to the Plan shall be contingent on approval of the Partnership’s Members only to the extent required by applicable law, regulations or rules. No Grants shall be made after the termination of the Plan. No amendment, suspension, or
termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the Grantee, alter or impair rights or obligations under any Grant theretofore awarded under the Plan. 
  

 -22- 

 19. GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 19.1 Disclaimer of Rights. 
 No provision in the Plan or in any Grant or Award Agreement shall be construed
to confer upon any individual the right to remain in the employ or service of the Partnership or any Affiliate, or to interfere in any way with any contractual or other right or authority of the Partnership either to increase or decrease the
compensation or other payments to any individual at any time, or to terminate any employment or other relationship between any individual and the Partnership or any Affiliate. The obligation of the Partnership to pay any benefits pursuant to this
Plan shall be interpreted as a contractual obligation to pay only those amounts described herein, in the manner and under the conditions prescribed herein. The Plan shall in no way be interpreted to require the Partnership to transfer any amounts to
a third party trustee or otherwise hold any amounts in trust or escrow for payment to any participant or beneficiary under the terms of the Plan. 
 19.2 Nonexclusivity of the Plan. 
 The adoption of the Plan shall not be construed as creating any limitations upon the right and
authority of the Board to adopt such other incentive plans or compensation arrangements (which arrangements may be applicable either generally to a class or classes of individuals or specifically to a particular individual or particular individuals)
as the Board in its discretion determines desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of options otherwise than under the Plan. 
 19.3 Captions. 
 The use of captions in this Plan or any Award Agreement is for the convenience of reference only and shall not
affect the meaning of any provision of the Plan or such Award Agreement. 
  

 -23- 

 19.4 Other Award Agreement Provisions. 
 Each Grant awarded under the Plan may contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Board, in its
sole discretion. 
 19.5 Number and Gender. 
 With respect to words used in this Plan, the singular form shall include the plural form, the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, etc., as the context requires. 
 19.6 Investment Representation. 
 With
respect to Units received pursuant to the exercise of an Option, the Board may require, as a condition of receiving such Units, that the Grantee furnish to the Partnership such written representations and information as the Board deems appropriate
to permit the Partnership, in light of the existence or nonexistence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, to deliver such Units in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. 
 19.7 Funding of Plan. 
 The Plan shall be
unfunded. Neither the Grantees nor any other persons shall have any interest in any fund or in any specific asset or assets of the Partnership or any other entity by reason of any Grant. The interests of each Grantee and former Grantee hereunder are
unsecured and shall be subject to the general creditors of the Partnership. 
 19.8 Nonguarantee of Employment or Consulting Relationship.

 Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed as a contract of employment or as a consulting contract between the Partnership or any
Affiliate and any employee or Service Provider, as a right of any employee or Service Provider to be continued in the employment of or in a consulting relationship with the Partnership or any Affiliate, or as a limitation on the right of the
Partnership or any Affiliate to discharge any of its employees or Service Providers, at any time, with or without cause. 
 19.9 Notices.

 Each notice relating to the Plan shall be in writing and delivered in person or by certified mail to the proper address. All notices to the
Partnership, the 

  

 -24- 

 
Board or the Committee shall be addressed to it at 10802 Parkridge Boulevard, Reston, Virginia 20191. All notices to Grantees, former Grantees, beneficiaries
or other persons acting for or on behalf of such persons shall be addressed to such person at the last address for such person maintained in the Partnership’s records. 
 19.10 Severability. 
 If any provision of the
Plan or any Award Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any jurisdiction, the remaining provisions hereof and thereof shall be severable and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and all provisions
shall remain enforceable in any other jurisdiction. 
 19.11 Governing Law. 
 The validity and construction of this Plan and the instruments evidencing the Grants awarded hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Delaware other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Plan and the instruments evidencing the Grants awarded hereunder to the substantive laws of any other
jurisdiction. 
 20. EXECUTION

the adoption of the Plan by the Board as of December 17, 2001, the Partnership has caused its authorized officer to execute the Plan.
