Section 1.02. Partnership Name. The name of the Partnership is HHR Euro C.V.
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 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 000, 0000 XX Xxxxxxxxx, xxx Xxxxxxxxxxx, 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; Partnership Portfolio of Funds. (a) 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, replaces and supersedes the Existing Partnership Agreement. Legal title to assets of the Partnership shall be formally held (goederenrechtelijk) by the General Partner for the benefit of all the Partners having an interest in a Fund (defined below) to which such assets belong. All Partners having an interest in the Fund to which such assets belong 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.
(b) (i) Within the limitations set forth in Section 1.05, the General Partner may establish and designate, one or more series of partnership interests (each such series, a “Fund”), having separate rights, powers and duties with respect to specific assets and liabilities associated with the Partnership, and profits and losses associated with such specific assets and liabilities, and any such Fund may have a separate investment objective and targeted returns. The records maintained for any Fund shall account for assets and liabilities allocated or attributable, and the Direct Loans attributable, to such Fund separately from the assets and liabilities allocated or attributable, and the Direct Loans attributable, to any other Fund and such records shall be held separately with respect to each Fund. Other than with the prior written unanimous consent of the Partners having an interest in a Fund, the terms, rights, powers, and duties of the General Partner with respect to such Fund shall be the same as the terms, rights, powers and duties of the General Partner with respect to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement.
5
#10338536v8
For the avoidance of doubt, the establishment of any Fund other than Fund I and Fund II (as each such term is defined below) shall require the prior written unanimous consent of all Partners.
(ii) The General Partner of the Partnership has established and designated the Partnership Investments held by the Partnership through Coop I or Subsidiaries of Coop I and the related rights, titles and interests of the Partners in and to such Partnership Investments as Fund I (“Fund I”). The General Partner of the Partnership has established and designated the Partnership Investments owned by the Partnership through Coop II or Subsidiaries of Coop II, and the related rights, titles and interests of the Partners in and to such Partnership Investments as Fund II (“Fund II”). For the avoidance of doubt, each of Fund I and Fund II is a “Fund” and all terms, rights, powers, preferences and duties applicable to a Fund in this Agreement shall be applicable to Fund I and Fund II, and, unless otherwise provided in an amendment to this Agreement establishing a new Fund, to each subsequently-formed Fund. The General Partner of the Partnership shall in such capacity manage the affairs of Fund I and Fund II, and, unless otherwise provided in such amendment, each subsequent Fund.
(iii) Within the limitations set forth in Section 1.05, all consideration received by the Partnership for the issue or sale of limited partnership interests with respect to a particular Fund, together with all assets in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be, and any other assets and liabilities (including the Direct Loans attributable to such Fund) associated with such Fund, shall be referred to as “assets and liabilities belonging to” that Fund and shall be deemed to be associated solely with such Fund and belong solely to the Partners having an interest in such Fund. In addition, in accordance with and subject to Article 4 and Article 6 of this Agreement, any assets, income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, funds, liabilities or payments which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Fund, shall be allocated by the General Partner in such a manner as the General Partner reasonably deems fair and equitable, among one or more of the Funds (subject to any approval of the Partners required by the process involving Budgets and Business Plans outlined in Section 2.12 and the expense allocation process described in Article 4); such allocated items shall be referred to as “assets and liabilities belonging to” the Fund to which such items are allocated. The assets and liabilities belonging to a particular Fund shall be so recorded upon the books of the Partnership and of the particular Fund and such assets and liabilities shall be held
6
#10338536v8
separately by or on behalf of such Fund for the sole benefit of the Partners having an interest in such Fund. Within the limitations set forth in Section 1.05 and consistent with Section 2.10, cash belonging to a Fund shall be held in a bank account maintained by the General Partner in the name of the applicable Coop or other Partnership Investment Vehicle.
(iv) Within the limitations set forth in Section 1.05 and other than is expressly permitted by this Agreement, the General Partner shall use its best efforts to (x) procure that the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for, or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Fund, shall be enforceable only against the assets belonging to such Fund and not against the assets of the Partnership generally, or any other Fund; and that none of the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for, or otherwise existing with respect to the Partnership generally, or any other Fund, shall be enforceable against the assets belonging to such Fund, and (y) ensure that any creditor of a Fund may look only to the assets belonging to such Fund to satisfy such creditor’s debt, and not to the assets belonging to any other Fund, or the assets of the Partnership generally.
(v) For any matter arising under this Agreement with respect to which Limited Partners are entitled to vote (including, but not limited to, all matters set out in Sections 2.03(c)(i) and 3.02), (i) if such matter exclusively relates to a specific Fund, the Limited Partners having an interest in such Fund (voting as a single class or group) shall be entitled to vote on such matter, and (ii) if such matter relates to the Partnership generally or could reasonably be expected to affect the Partnership in general, all Limited Partners (voting as a single class or group) shall be entitled to vote on such matter, with each Limited Partner voting in proportion to its aggregate interests in the Partnership or Fund, as applicable.
(vi) Without the prior written unanimous consent of all Limited Partners, in order to avoid conflicts of interests between Funds, any future Partnership Investments may only be pursued through one Fund.
Section 1.05. Objects of the Partnership. The objects of the Partnership are (a) to establish and designate one or more Funds for Partnership Investments, (b) to identify potential Partnership Investments, (c) solely, indirectly, through, and/or by means of acquisition of, Partnership Investment Vehicles, to acquire, improve, maintain, renovate, rehabilitate, reposition, own, 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, (d) pending utilization or disbursement of funds, to invest such funds in accordance with Section 2.10 for the benefit of the applicable Fund, (e) solely, indirectly, through

The Partnership is not able to perform any legal act outside the scope of the objects as provided for in this Section 1.05 and any act by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership outside the scope of these objects shall be deemed to be an act of the General Partner itself and shall not be deemed to have been made on behalf of the Partnership.
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.

#10338536v8
standard of care a general partner is required to use with respect to a limited partnership and its limited partners under the C.V. Law, which standard of care shall include: (a) a duty of loyalty, which requires the General Partner to carry out its responsibilities with respect to the Partnership and each Fund with loyalty, honesty, good faith and fairness toward the Partnership, each Fund 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 C.V. 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 and each Fund. 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.

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.
(b) Each Partner agrees that if, as a result of any change in Dutch tax law, government policy, tax authorities policy or otherwise, the transparency of a Partner for Dutch corporate income tax and dividend tax purposes shall no longer affect the tax transparency of the Partnership, and more specifically, if such transparency of a Partner no longer requires that an admission of a new partner or the transfer of an interest in the Partnership or in such tax transparent Partner requires the prior unanimous consent of all partners in the Partnership and in such tax transparent Partner as set out in the ‘Stapelresolutie’ (Resolution by the Dutch State Secretary for Finance of 11 January 2007, nr. CPP2006/1869M), subject to the receipt by the General Partner of a legal opinion or tax ruling to the effect that there would occur no adverse tax consequences to the Partnership, Section 1.08(a) will no longer apply as of the date on which such change has become effective, provided the foregoing shall not modify any provision of this Agreement requiring the consent of Partners to proposed transfers by other Partners or to changes in the relative interests of such Partners in the Partnership as a whole or with respect to a particular Fund.

Section 2.03. Other Authority; Major Decisions, Etc. (a) The General Partner agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to operate the Partnership and the Funds in such a way that (i) the Partnership will not be an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act (except for purposes of Sections 12(d)(1)(A)(i) and (B)(i) thereunder), (ii) the General Partner will be in compliance with the Advisers Act, if applicable, (iii) none of the Partnership’s assets would be deemed “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA, and (iv) each of the Partnership and the General Partner will be in compliance with any applicable law, regulation or guideline, issued by a regulatory authority, government body or recognized securities exchange, in each case a violation of which would have a material adverse effect on the Partnership. The General Partner is hereby authorized to take any action it has determined to be necessary or desirable in order for (i) the Partnership not to be in violation of the Investment Company Act, (ii) the General Partner not to be in violation of the Advisers Act, (iii) the Partnership’s assets not to be deemed “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA, or (iv) each of the Partnership and the General Partner not to be in violation of any applicable material law, regulation or guideline, issued by a regulatory authority, government body or recognized securities exchange, including (A) making structural, operating or other changes in the Partnership by amending this Agreement or otherwise, (B) requiring the sale in whole or in part of any Partnership Investment or other asset or (C) dissolving the Partnership (provided that any such amendment, sale or dissolution to cure any violation of such law, regulation or guideline of the Partnership may only be made if such
17
#10338536v8
amendment, sale or dissolution of the Partnership is necessary or advisable to cure the items described in clauses (i)-(iv) above and such amendment, sale or dissolution of the Partnership does not (x) increase or lead to violation of the obligations (including regulatory obligations) or liabilities (including with respect to tax exposure) of any Limited Partner, (y) adversely affect any Limited Partner’s (or their Affiliates’ that have granted Direct Loans) economic rights hereunder or (z) adversely affect its status as a tax-exempt entity or pension fund (if appropriate); provided, further, that the General Partner shall prior to such action consult with the Limited Partners (other than any Host Limited Partner) to determine if the consequences described in the foregoing clauses (x)-(z) would be the result). The General Partner shall notify the Limited Partners of any action taken pursuant to this Section 2.03(a).
(b) If the General Partner determines in its discretion that for legal, tax or regulatory reasons it is in the best interest of the Partnership that the Limited Partners and, at the General Partner’s election, the General Partner, fund all or a portion of a Partnership Investment belonging to a Fund through Direct Loans, the General Partner shall be permitted to structure the funding of all or any portion of such Partnership Investment in a Fund through Direct Loans, subject to the prior written unanimous consent (also with respect to the exact terms and conditions of such Direct Loans) of the Partners or as contemplated in Section 1.04(b), if exclusively relating to a specific Fund, the Partners having an interest in such Fund. Each Partner then shall make Direct Loans itself, or, at the election of such Partner at its sole discretion, have an Affiliate make Direct Loans, to the same extent, for the same purposes and, after taking into account differences in funding debt as opposed to equity, on the same terms and conditions as Partners are required to make Capital Contributions to the Partnership. The Partners acknowledge and agree that the General Partner and each Host Limited Partner may each designate an entity that it controls, is controlled by or is under common control with to make Direct Loans and that such entities may be under “common control” with each other, provided the entity designated by the General Partner, on the one hand, and any Host Limited Partner, on the other hand, shall not be the same entity. For the avoidance of doubt, other than for purposes of determining Capital Accounts, any Direct Loans shall be treated as Capital Contributions, except to the extent that the Partners having an interest in the relevant Fund unanimously agree that a differing treatment is reasonably necessary to reflect that the Partner made a Direct Loan (directly or through an Affiliate) rather than contributed equity to the Partnership. To the greatest extent possible, such Partners will be in the same economic position as they would be had they contributed equity, which in turn was provided by the Partnership as a loan or a contribution to a Coop or Subsidiary of a Coop, rather than made a Direct Loan to such Coop or such Subsidiary of such Coop. Any reference in this Agreement to Capital Contributions shall be deemed to include amounts funded directly to a Subsidiary of a Coop through Direct Loans, and all other provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted as necessary to give effect to this Section 2.03(b).
18
#10338536v8
Any reference in this Agreement to a Partner having an interest in a Fund shall be deemed to include a Partner or Affiliate of such Partner having an interest in any Direct Loans attributable to such Fund. Any reference in this Agreement to a Partner’s interest in a Fund shall be deemed to include such Partner’s and Partner’s Affiliate’s interest in any Direct Loans attributable to such Fund. Any reference in this Agreement to repayment of a Direct Loan shall be deemed to include repayment of the outstanding principal amount and the accrued but unpaid interest on such Direct Loan. In addition, the General Partner may propose and carry out the restructuring of existing Partnership Investments (held by the Partnership through a Coop) through the making of Direct Loans pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.03(b). The obligation of each Partner to contribute to the Partnership for the account of a Fund any payments received by it (or its Affiliate making a Direct Loan) of principal on and interest in respect of a Direct Loan received in respect of a Direct Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.11(b), Section 6.02(b), Section 6.05(c), Section 6.05(f) or Section 6.05(g), shall survive the expiration of the Commitment Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the financial obligation of a Partner or Affiliate of a Partner making a Direct Loan to contribute any payments received of principal on and interest in respect of a Direct Loan as provided in this Agreement shall only arise to the extent that the General Partner could have issued a Drawdown Notice, reserved or withheld such amount if the Capital Contribution had been made as an equity contribution by such Partner to the Partnership in respect of such Fund rather than a Direct Loan.
(c) In addition to any other matters for which the Partners are provided with voting rights under this Agreement, the following powers of the Partnership shall be exercised by the General Partner only with the required vote of the Partners:
(i) the following decisions, which decisions shall require the prior written unanimous consent of the Partners, or as contemplated in Section 1.04(b), if exclusively relating to a specific Fund, the Partners having an interest in such Fund:
(A) causing the recapitalization of the Partnership or a Fund (for the avoidance of doubt, a recapitalization of the Partnership or a Fund does not include the making of any Extraordinary Loans);
(B) causing the applicable Coop or Partnership Investment Vehicle to enter into a financing transaction that is either (1) a “cash-out” financing (i.e., the loan proceeds realized are in an aggregate amount in excess of the principal amount of the debt being refinanced) but is not entered into as part of the acquisition of a Real Estate Asset or contemplated by the relevant approved Budget, or (2) as described in Section 3.02, with respect
19
#10338536v8
to any Real Estate Asset that is not incurred in connection with the acquisition of such Real Estate Asset and is not a refinancing of any such acquisition financing;
(C) causing the merger of the Partnership, a Fund or a Coop with or into another entity, or otherwise reorganizing or restructuring the Partnership, a Fund or a Coop (for the avoidance of doubt, which includes any transaction between two or more Funds or their respective Coops or their respective Partnership Investment Vehicles);
(D) causing an initial public offering of interest in the Partnership;
(E) causing the applicable Coop or Partnership Investment Vehicle to reposition a Partnership Investment which will result in the closing of an entire Hotel Property (unless a Consolidation Event shall have occurred, in which case the vote of the Required Limited Partners shall be required);
(F) acquisition by the Partnership directly of or investments by the Partnership directly in any debt instruments or “receivables” (as defined under Dutch tax law), provided for avoidance of doubt, in connection with any Partnership Investments by a Coop or Partnership Investment Vehicle, any acquisition of debt instruments as part of an overall transaction whereby a controlling interest in such Hotel Property is acquired would require Partner consent pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(iii)(A);
(G) the General Partner commencing (on its own behalf or on behalf of the Partnership, or causing a Coop or relevant Partnership Investment Vehicle to commence) a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the General Partner, the Partnership, a Coop or relevant Partnership Investment Vehicle, or debts of the General Partner, the Partnership, a Coop or relevant Partnership Investment Vehicle, under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law; or the appointment of a trustee, administrator, receiver or other entity for the purpose of disposing of the Partnership Investments for the benefit of creditors; or any other transfer of Partnership Investments, whether voluntary or involuntary, for the benefit of creditors;

(I) the admission of New Commitment Partners as described in Section 1.07(b) (it being understood that any such admission requires the prior written consent of all Partners (except for the consent of a Defaulting Limited Partner pursuant to Section 5.03), and transactions not compliant with this approval requirement are void);
(J) the deviation by the Partnership, any Coop or any Partnership Investment Vehicle from investment and/or leverage limitations and guidelines as described in Section 3.02;
(K) the acquisition by any Coop or Partnership Investment Vehicle of real property that is not a Real Estate Asset;
(L) confessing, consenting to or appealing against a judgment against the Partnership, any Coop or any Partnership Investment Vehicle in connection with any threatened or pending Proceeding; or commencing or settling any Proceeding in the name of the Partnership, any Coop or any Partnership Investment Vehicle or with respect to the Partnership Investments, in each case if the amount in dispute is in excess of * * * * * * * * * *;

Section 2.13. Credit Facility. (a) The General Partner may cause any Coop or any of such Coop’s Subsidiaries to enter into one or more credit facilities (each, a “Credit Facility”) to pay expenses and fees, to finance the acquisition and ownership of Partnership Investments belonging to a Fund, including, without limitation, in lieu of, in advance of, or contemporaneously with, Capital Contributions and otherwise to carry out the business and activities permitted under this Agreement, with, as described in Section 2.03(c)(i)(S), the prior written unanimous consent of all Partners. Such Credit Facilities may be secured by an assignment and pledge by the General Partner (on behalf of and for the benefit of the Partnership) of the right to issue Drawdown Notices with respect to all or a portion of the aggregate Available Capital Commitments of all Limited Partners having an interest in the Fund to which such Partnership Investments belong, including upon the continuance of an event of default (as defined in a Credit Facility), the right of the lender to deliver Drawdown Notices and enforce all remedies against any Limited Partner having an interest in such Fund that fails to fund their respective Capital Commitments pursuant to Drawdown Notices and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In connection with any such Credit Facility, all such Capital Contributions shall be payable to the account designated by the lender. For the avoidance of doubt, a Direct Loan does not constitute a Credit Facility.
(b) Each Limited Partner understands, acknowledges and agrees, in connection with any Credit Facility and for the benefit of any lender thereunder, (i) that the General Partner may from time to time request delivery, within ninety (90) days after the end of such Limited Partner’s fiscal year, of a copy of such Limited Partner’s annual report, if publicly available, or such Limited Partner’s balance sheet as of the end of such fiscal year and the related statements of operations for such fiscal year, in each case to the extent publicly available, prepared or reviewed by independent public accountants in connection with such Limited Partner’s annual reporting requirements; (ii) that the General Partner may from time to time request a certificate confirming (x) the remaining amount of such Limited Partner’s Available Capital Commitment with respect to each Fund and/or (y) that the Limited Partner has not and will not pledge, collaterally assign, encumber or otherwise grant a security interest in its rights and obligations against the General Partner or the Partnership; and (iii) that such Limited Partner’s obligation to fund its Available Capital Commitment is without defense,

counterclaim or offset of any kind, other than any rights or claims available to such Limited Partner under this Agreement. In addition, each Limited Partner agrees (A) to deliver to the lender under any Credit Facility an acknowledgement of such Limited Partner’s Capital Commitment in such lender’s customary form as may be negotiated between such lender and such Limited Partner, and (B) to deliver, upon the request of the General Partner or lender, an opinion of counsel to the effect that this Agreement is a valid and binding agreement of such Limited Partner (and/or an appropriate corporate or similar resolution authorizing such Limited Partner’s investment in the Partnership with respect to the applicable Fund).

(c) If an audit is conducted pursuant to Section 7.02 and such audit determines that there has been an overcharge and/or overallocation of costs to the Partnership or its Subsidiaries, the General Partner shall pay or cause to be paid such overcharge and/or overallocation in accordance with Section 7.02(c). If such audit determines that there has been an undercharge and/or underallocation of costs to the Partnership or its Subsidiaries, each Limited Partner shall pay to the General Partner or its designee its pro rata share of such undercharge and/or underallocation in accordance with Section 7.02(c), however in no event exceeding such Limited Partner’s Available Capital Commitment.
Section 4.03. Responsibility for Partnership Expenses Among the Partners. The Partners agree that, as among the Partners, responsibility for Partnership Expenses shall be determined as set forth in this Section 4.03 and shall be paid out of the funds set forth in Section 4.04 at such time after such Partnership Expenses arise as the General Partner determines in its discretion:
(a) General Rule for Funding of Partnership Expenses. Except as set forth in Section 4.03(b), any Partnership Expense shall be allocated by the General Partner to a Fund, and shall be funded by the Partners having an interest in such Fund, pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages applicable to such Fund, however in no event exceeding such Limited Partner’s Available Capital Commitment.
(b) Exceptions to the General Rule for Funding of Partnership Expenses. Notwithstanding Section 4.03(a):
(i) in the event that any Limited Partner initiates any Proceeding against the Partnership or any Indemnified Person and a judgment or order not subject to further appeal or discretionary review is rendered in respect of such Proceeding in favor of the Partnership or such Indemnified Person, as the case may be, such Limited Partner shall be solely liable for all reasonable legal fees and expenses of the Partnership or such Indemnified Person, as the case may be, attributable thereto;
(ii) subject to clause (iv), the Partners’ respective shares of Partnership Expenses shall be adjusted to reflect the share of Partnership Expenses of any New Commitment Partner pursuant to Section 1.07(c); and
(iii) with the unanimous consent of the Limited Partners, the Limited Partners may agree that any Partnership Expense shall be funded by the Partners on a basis other than that set forth in the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.03.
Section 4.04. Sources of Funds for Funding by the Partners of Partnership Expenses. The Partners acknowledge that Partnership Expenses shall
45
#10338536v8
be funded by or for the account of the Partners, to the extent provided in Section 4.03, through any one or more of the following sources of funds of the Partnership, determined by the General Partner in its discretion:
(i) Capital Contributions by the Partners in accordance with Article 5;
(ii) the withholding, pursuant to Section 6.05(c), of amounts (whether realized through the sale of Partnership assets or otherwise) distributable to the Partners;
(iii) reserves set aside pursuant to Section 6.05(f); and
(iv) amounts borrowed by the General Partner for the benefit of the Partners pursuant to a Credit Facility in accordance with Section 2.13.
ARTICLE 5
CAPITAL COMMITMENTS AND CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS
Section 5.01. Capital Commitments. (a) Each Partner hereby agrees to make Capital Contributions required to be made in respect of (i) any Partnership Investment acquired by the General Partner with the requisite consent pursuant to Section 2.03(b) of the Partners who have an interest in the Fund to which such Partnership Investment belongs or will belong and (ii) Partnership Expenses from time to time as hereinafter set forth in this Article 5, provided that with respect to any Fund, the applicable Drawdown Notice with respect to any Capital Contribution by a Limited Partner having an interest in such Fund in respect of such Partnership Investment is delivered to such Limited Partner prior to the termination of the Commitment Period, except that, with respect to any Fund, such Drawdown Notice may be delivered to the Limited Partner having an interest in such Fund, after the termination of the Commitment Period if such Drawdown Notice (A) relates to a Partnership Investment that the Partnership committed to make with respect to such Fund prior to the termination of the Commitment Period applicable to such Fund as evidenced by a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement to invest and approved pursuant to Section 2.03(b), (B) relates to Follow-On Investments to the extent such Follow-On Investments have been disclosed to and approved by the Limited Partners having an interest in such Fund prior to the last day of the Commitment Period applicable to such Fund, or (C) relates to a contribution of any payments received of principal on and interest in respect of a Direct Loan to the extent that such contribution is mandatory pursuant to an explicit provision in this Agreement.
(b) With respect to Fund I, the contributions described in Schedule B-1, Part 2 were made. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that, with respect to Fund I, as of the date of this Agreement, no further acquisitions of Hotel Properties shall be made in respect of Fund I and no further commitments to make
46
#10338536v8
additional Partnership Investments in respect of Fund I shall be made by the General Partner.
(c) The Capital Commitment of each Partner is set forth on Schedule A-1 with respect to Fund I and Schedule A-2 with respect to Fund II.
(d) Host shall be permitted to reduce its initial Capital Commitment in accordance with Section 5.04.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, no Limited Partner shall be required to make any Capital Contribution with respect to any Fund, if, at the time such Capital Contribution is to be made, such Capital Contribution exceeds such Limited Partner’s then Available Capital Commitment to such Fund.
(f) If the Partnership is unable to pay any of its debts or liabilities or discharge its obligations to any Person, then (unless provided for in any agreement in writing by any Limited Partner) the liability of each Limited Partner to such Person will be limited to the unreturned amount (if any) of its Capital Contributions (not including any Direct Loans made by it or its Affiliates), and it is acknowledged that the Limited Partners bear the risk that their capital may not be returned. Nothing in this clause affects a Limited Partner’s liability to advance funds to the Partnership in accordance with its Capital Commitment, it being understood that such obligation is limited to such Limited Partner’s then Available Capital Commitment to such Fund.
(g) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Additional Fund I Capital shall not constitute (x) Capital Commitments or (y) Available Capital Commitments with respect to (a) Section 3.01(a) of this Agreement or (b) the definition of Full Investment Date.
Section 5.02. Drawdown Procedures. (a) Generally; Fund I Contributions Specifically. With respect to any Fund, each Limited Partner having an interest in such Fund 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, or in the case of Direct Loans, to a Coop or Subsidiary of a Coop, 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-1) by noon (Amsterdam time) on the date specified in the applicable Drawdown Notice (the “Drawdown Date”) which date shall be at least fifteen (15) Business Days from and including the date of delivery of the Drawdown
*Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
47
#10338536v8
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 Partners’ Capital Accounts, the prior written unanimous consent of all Partners is required.
Schedule B-1, Part 2 sets forth, with respect to the Initial Hotel Properties included in Fund I, certain permitted deviations from the requirement that all Capital Commitments are denominated 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 Partners who are required to make related Capital Contributions.
Pursuant to the LMP Transfer Agreement, the Partners having an interest in Fund II acknowledge and agree that their respective capital contributions for the Initial Fund II Hotel Property are denominated in British Pounds and have been and, to the extent applicable, shall be funded to the General Partner in British Pounds. Notwithstanding the forgoing, such capital contributions shall be deemed converted to Euros upon contribution to the Partnership using (a) the exchange rate of €1.13 to £1.00 in order to determine each such contributing Partner’s Capital Contribution for purposes of distributions (or deemed distributions) pursuant to Article 6, and (b) the higher of (i) €1.13 to £1.00 or (ii) the exchange rate quoted on xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx 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 Initial Fund II Hotel Property, in order to determine each such contributing Partner’s Capital Contribution solely for purposes of establishing such Person’s Available Capital Commitment.
(b) Regular Drawdowns.
(i) Drawdown Notices. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.02(c), each Drawdown Notice for a Drawdown shall specify the Fund to which such Drawdown Notice relates and:
(A) the manner in which, and the expected date on which, such Drawdown is to be applied;
(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 that is, directly or
48
#10338536v8
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 in respect of such Fund, calculated proportionally to the Available Capital Commitments of such Limited Partner, and, subject to the prior written consent of the Partners as indicated in Section 2.03(b), whether such Capital Contribution is to be made through a Direct Loan;
(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 for Fund I.
(A) Schedule B-1, Part 2 sets forth, with respect to the Initial Hotel Properties included in Fund I, certain permitted deviations from the requirement that all Capital Contributions shall be made in Euros (rather than in kind) and in proportion to relative Investment Percentages.
(B) Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, with respect to each Partnership Investment covered by any Drawdown, the General Partner and each Limited Partner having an interest in Fund I 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.
(C) With respect to each Follow-On Investment covered by any Drawdown, each Partner having an interest in the Fund which includes 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
49
#10338536v8
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, provided that any Partnership Expenses allocable to a particular Fund shall be exclusively funded by the Partners having an interest in such Fund as determined pursuant to Section 4.03.
(c) Direct Loans. With respect to any Direct Loans, the General Partner shall cause a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit H (a “Direct Loan Note”) to be delivered by the applicable Coop or Subsidiary of such Coop to each Partner or, in the sole discretion of such Partner, to any Affiliate of such Partner, in the amount of the Direct Loan to be made by such Partner or such Partner’s Affiliate and shall provide payment instructions to such Partner or such Partner’s Affiliate for such Direct Loan.
(d) Special Drawdowns. With respect to any Fund, 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 having an interest in such Fund 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 and whether such additional Capital Contribution is to be made through a Direct Loan, in which case prior unanimous written consent of the Partners is required, and if so, the relevant Coop or Subsidiary of such Coop and the account to which such Direct Loan is to be made;
(ii) the amount of the increase in the required Capital Contribution to be made by such Limited Partner in respect of the relevant Fund, calculated proportionally by reference to such Person’s Available Commitment Percentage;
(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
50
#10338536v8
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, with respect to any Fund, a Limited Partner having an interest in such Fund 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 with respect to any Fund pursuant to Section 5.03 shall be calculated in the manner set forth therein. With respect to any Fund, any increase in the required Capital Contribution of the General Partner and each Limited Partner having an interest in such Fund 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 in respect of a certain Fund (the “Affected Fund”) would cause injury to the Partnership and to the General Partner and the Limited Partners having an interest in the Affected Fund 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 with respect to the Affected Fund. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the General Partner shall promptly notify all Limited Partners having an interest in the Affected Fund 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) with respect to the Affected Fund, 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, allocable to the Affected Fund, in respect of
51
#10338536v8
which such Limited Partner made Capital Contributions prior to such Event of Default;
(ii) with respect to the Affected Fund, request the Non-Defaulting Limited Partners having an interest in the Affected Fund 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 (other than Proceeds paid to a Partner or its Affiliates with respect to Direct Loans but including amounts withheld by the obligor under any Direct Loan Note and remitted to the applicable Fund as provided in the Direct Loan Note) shall be utilized first to pay any outstanding Total Drawdown Default Loans (and any accrued interest thereon) and the Partners having an interest in the Affected Fund shall procure that there shall be no distributions of Proceeds to the Partners having an interest in the Affected Fund pursuant to Article 6 until the principal of and interest on all outstanding Total Drawdown Default Loans, allocable to the Affected Fund, 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) with respect to the Affected Fund, request the Non-Defaulting Limited Partners having an interest in the Affected Fund 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 having an interest in the Affected Fund (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 applicable to the Affected Fund 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

For the avoidance of doubt, the Partners agree that a Limited Partner shall never be required to make a Default Loan and a Default Loan shall always be limited to an individual Fund;
(iv) with respect to an Affected Fund, request additional contributions of capital not exceeding their Available Capital Commitment from the Non-Defaulting Limited Partners having interests in such Affected Fund (pro rata based on their respective Commitment Percentages applicable to such Affected Fund) 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 applicable to such Affected Fund equal to the percentage derived by dividing an amount equal to * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *;
(v) with respect to an Affected Fund, cause distributions of Proceeds (including any amounts withheld by the obligor under any Direct Loan Note and remitted to such Affected Fund) 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) with respect to an Affected Fund, cause the Defaulting Limited Partner to forfeit its right to participate in any Partnership Investments belonging to the Affected Fund made after such Event of Default;

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 with respect to such Affected Fund, which may, for the avoidance of doubt, include any Direct Loans by such Defaulting Limited Partner or any of its Affiliates, 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) with respect to an Affected Fund, 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).
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 and any Direct Loans provided by such Defaulting Limited Partner or any of its Affiliates) pursuant to a forced sale shall be effectuated by way of assumptions of contract (contractsovernemingen) within the meaning of Section 6:159 of the Dutch Civil Code. The Defaulting Limited Partner hereby gives its cooperation in advance to such assumptions 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:
(i) with respect to an Affected Fund, seek commitments of capital (A) first, from existing Limited Partners having an interest in the Affected Fund up to the amount of the Defaulting Limited Partner’s Available Capital Commitment, (B) if existing Limited Partners having an interest in the Affected Fund do not increase their Capital Commitments up to the full amount of the Defaulting Limited Partner’s Available Capital Commitment, second, from existing Limited Partners having an interest in Funds other than in the Affected Fund, and (C) if such other existing Limited Partners do not increase their Capital Commitment up to the full amount of the Defaulting Limited Partner’s Available Capital Commitment, third, from additional investors subject to the prior written unanimous consent of all Non-Defaulting Limited Partners. 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 shall be granted a corresponding interest in the Affected Fund and such Limited Partner’s Capital Commitment and Available Capital Commitment, in respect of such Affected Fund, shall be increased accordingly. If any such commitment is received from an additional investor, such investor shall, after executing
55
#10338536v8
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, be granted an interest in the Affected Fund 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, allocable to such Affected Fund. 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) with respect to an Affected Fund, 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 in respect of the Affected Fund 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) With respect to an Affected Fund, 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, having an interest in such Affected Fund, 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 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
56
#10338536v8
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, with respect to any Fund, either (i) after the Commitment Period for such Fund or (ii) that a Drawdown would exceed the aggregate Available Capital Commitment of the Limited Partners having an interest in such Fund, and in either case, the General Partner having determined in its good faith judgment that additional funds are necessary in connection with operating shortfalls or emergency repairs or to remedy loan covenant breaches, the General Partner may deliver to the Limited Partners having an interest in such Fund 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 having an interest in such Fund make a loan with interest at a rate per annum equal to * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * as approved unanimously by all Limited Partners, but absent such approval, * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (an “Extraordinary Loan”) to the Partnership.

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(e). Proceeds (other than Proceeds paid to a Partner or its Affiliates with respect to Direct Loans but including amounts withheld by the obligor under any Direct Loan Note and remitted to the applicable Fund as provided in the Direct Loan Note) shall be utilized first to pay any outstanding Extraordinary Loans with respect to such Fund (after the repayment of any outstanding Default Loans or Total Drawdown Default Loans) (and any accrued interest thereon) and the Partners having an interest in the applicable Fund shall procure that there shall be no distributions of Proceeds to the Partners having an interest in the applicable Fund pursuant to Article 6 until the principal of and accrued interest on all outstanding Extraordinary Loans have been paid in full by the Partnership.
(b) If the aggregate amount of the Extraordinary Loan (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, 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 applicable to such Fund, 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) All distributions of Proceeds shall under all circumstances be made on a Fund by Fund basis with Proceeds (other than Proceeds paid to a Partner or its Affiliates with respect to Direct Loans) available for distribution being attributed by the General Partner to the Fund or Funds on the basis of the source of such proceeds. The General Partner

shall inform and consult with the Limited Partners about any allocation made that is not an allocation made based on the source of the proceeds.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to the provisions of Section 5.03, Section 5.05, Section 6.04 and Section 9.04, distributions of Proceeds (other than Proceeds paid to a Partner or its Affiliates with respect to Direct Loans) 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, Section 6.03 and Section 6.05(c), with respect to any Fund, the Investment Percentage of any Proceeds (other than Proceeds paid to a Partner or its Affiliates with respect to Direct Loans) from any Partnership Investment belonging or being attributable to such Fund and attributable to any Limited Partner having an interest in such Fund shall be distributed as follows:
(i) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

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 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 deducted from Carried Interest that the General Partner would otherwise have received. For the avoidance of doubt, the interest and principal payments received by a Partner pursuant to the terms of any Direct Loan Note shall be included and taken into account in determining for such Partner the amount of cumulative distributions of Proceeds with respect to such Fund, including for determining the return for purposes of Schedules D-1 and D-2.
(b) Subject to Sections 6.03 and 6.05, the Investment Percentage of such Proceeds (other than Proceeds paid to a Partner or its Affiliates with respect to Direct Loans) 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the interest and principal payments received by a Partner pursuant to the terms of any Direct Loan Note shall be included and taken into account in determining for such Partner the amount of cumulative distributions of Proceeds with respect to such Fund, including for determining the return for purposes of Schedules D-1 and D-2. In addition, in the event that a Partnership Investment was funded by Direct Loans, to the extent necessary to permit the Fund to distribute to the General Partner the amount, if any, that the General Partner would have received pursuant to this Section 6.02 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, liquidating distributions made pursuant to Article 9 that are made in accordance with Section 6.02) had such Partnership Investment been funded through Capital Contributions made in the form of equity contributions rather than through Direct Loans, each Partner shall, at the General Partner’s direction, contribute to the Partnership for the accounts of the relevant Fund any payments received by it or its Affiliate in respect of a Direct Loan up to the amount of such Partner’s pro rata share (based on such Partner’s Investment Percentage in such Fund) of such amount to be distributed by the Fund to the General Partner.

Section 6.04. Other Distributions. All distributable amounts that are not distributed pursuant to any other provision of this Article 6 shall be apportioned among the Funds by the General Partner (acting reasonably) and the General Partner shall inform and consult with the Limited Partners about any allocation made that is not an allocation made based on the source of the proceeds and the basis on which such allocation has been made, and such amounts shall be distributed to the Partners pro rata in accordance with their Commitment Percentages applicable to such Funds.

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 (other than Proceeds paid to a Partner or its Affiliates with respect to Direct Loans) from Disposition of Partnership Investments belonging to a Fund shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable after their receipt by the Partnership, and (ii) distributions of Proceeds (other than Proceeds paid to a Partner or its Affiliates with respect to Direct Loans) received by the Partnership in respect of a Fund, other than from Dispositions of Partnership Investments belonging to such Fund, and distributions of income earned pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be distributed as deemed appropriate by the General Partner to Partners having interests in such Fund. 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 without the prior written consent of all Partners. 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, provided that with the prior written consent of all Partners, the amount of the distribution in kind may deviate from the 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 with respect to a Fund, the General Partner may, in its discretion, withhold from any such distribution of cash or property in kind to any Partner having an interest in such Fund pursuant to this Agreement, the following amounts:
(i) any amounts due in connection with such Fund from such 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 be paid by or reimbursed to (on a net after-tax basis) any Indemnified Person or the Partnership or any of its
65
#10338536v8
Subsidiaries for the payment of any taxes (including withholding taxes imposed with reference to a Partner) and related expenses that the General Partner in good faith determines to be properly attributable to such Partner; and
(iii) Partnership Expenses attributable to such Fund.
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. To the extent, with respect to any Partnership Investment, a Coop or Subsidiary of a Coop has incurred Direct Loans but the General Partner has determined as provided above to withhold amounts as described above, each Partner shall, in the event and to the extent that such Partner (or its relevant Affiliate) receives a payment under the relevant Direct Loan Note, within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of the payment, contribute to the Fund the amount that the General Partner has identified in a notice as being the amount the General Partner would otherwise have withheld had such Partner made a Capital Contribution in the form of an equity contribution rather than made (or having its relevant Affiliate make) a Direct Loan in connection with such Fund and such amount shall be treated as if it was withheld for purposes of this Section 6.05. For the avoidance of doubt, such Partner’s contribution obligation as described in the preceding sentence shall apply regardless of whether such Partner receives any payments from any relevant Affiliate. If, pursuant to a Direct Loan Note, the obligor thereunder has withheld amounts as described therein and remitted such amounts to the Partnership for the benefit and account of the relevant Fund, such amounts shall be treated as if contributed as Capital Contribution by the relevant Partner as described above.
(d) Treatment of Certain Amounts Withheld. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, all amounts withheld by the General Partner pursuant to Section 6.05(c) (or by the obligor under any Direct Loan Note) and all other amounts that the General Partner (or the obligor under any Direct Loan Note) determines in good faith to be properly withheld or otherwise paid by any Person on behalf of any Partner (or its Affiliate, if applicable, in the case of a Direct Loan Note) 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) Tax Efficiency. The General Partner will use reasonable efforts to ensure that the Partnership holds investments in the most tax efficient way reasonably practicable taking into account and balancing the relative interests of the Partners and will use reasonable efforts to meet the conditions of and to benefit from participation exemption regimes, the EU-Parent Subsidiary Directive, the EU-Interest and Royalties directive and other relevant treaties where applicable and cause Portfolio Companies and Partnership Investment
66
#10338536v8
Vehicles to maintain sufficient substance and hold such investments as to gain such benefits.
(f) Amounts Held in Reserve. In addition to the rights set forth in Section 6.05(c) and notwithstanding that this paragraph is not included in the lead-in clause to Section 6.02(a), the General Partner shall have the right, in its discretion, to establish or modify the amount of any reserves for a Fund prior to making any distributions to the Partners having an interest in such Fund by withholding amounts otherwise distributable by the Partnership to such Partners in order to maintain the Partnership (including the related Fund) 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 in respect of such Fund (including in respect of any anticipated capital requirements in accordance with the Budget applicable to such Fund). To the extent, with respect to any Partnership Investment, a Coop or Subsidiary of a Coop has incurred Direct Loans but the General Partner has determined as provided above that reserves should be made, each Partner shall, in the event and to the extent that such Partner (or its relevant Affiliate) receives a payment under the relevant Direct Loan Note, within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of the payment, contribute to the Fund the amount that the General Partner has identified in a notice as being the amount the General Partner would otherwise have withheld from distributions had such Partner made a Capital Contribution in the form of an equity contribution rather than made (or having its relevant Affiliate make) a Direct Loan in connection with such Fund. For the avoidance of doubt, such Partner’s contribution obligation as described in the preceding sentence shall apply regardless of whether such Partner receives any payments from any relevant Affiliate. If, pursuant to a Direct Loan Note, the obligor thereunder has withheld amounts as described therein and remitted such amounts to the Partnership for the benefit and account of the relevant Fund, such amounts shall be treated as if contributed as Capital Contribution by the relevant Partner as described above.
(g) Reinvestment. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 6, during the Commitment Period applicable to a Fund, the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may cause the Partnership to retain (and not to distribute to Limited Partners having an interest in such Fund and, accordingly, such amounts shall continue to be considered unreturned capital until distributed) or recall all or any portion of any Proceeds (other than Proceeds paid to a Partner or its Affiliates with respect to Direct Loans except as described below) constituting a return of the amounts of any Capital Contributions made by such Limited Partner, and to reinvest such Proceeds in accordance with this Agreement. The General Partner shall notify the Limited Partners of such Capital Contribution that is being recalled in the Drawdown Notice. After the Commitment Period applicable to a Fund, subject to the restrictions provided herein, any such retained or recalled Proceeds may only be (i) reinvested by the
67
#10338536v8
General Partner, in its discretion, in a Partnership Investment that the Partnership committed to make for a Fund prior to the termination of the applicable Commitment Period as evidenced by a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement to invest and (ii) used to pay Partnership Expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the General Partner shall not have the right to recall any distributions made to any Partner with respect to Fund I. To the extent, with respect to any Partnership Investment, a Coop or Subsidiary of a Coop has incurred Direct Loans but the General Partner has determined as provided above to retain or recall amounts distributed, each Partner shall, in the event and to the extent that such Partner (or its relevant Affiliate) receives a payment under the relevant Direct Loan Note, contribute to the Fund the amount that the General Partner has identified in a notice as being the amount the General Partner would otherwise have retained or recalled had such Partner made a Capital Contribution in the form of an equity contribution rather than made (or having its relevant Affiliate make) a Direct Loan in connection with such Fund. For the avoidance of doubt, such Partner’s contribution obligation as described in the preceding sentence shall apply regardless of whether such Partner receives any payments from any relevant Affiliate. If, pursuant to a Direct Loan Note, the obligor thereunder has retained amounts as described therein and remitted such amounts to the Partnership for the benefit and account of the relevant Fund, such amounts shall be treated as if contributed as Capital Contribution by the relevant Partner as described above.
(h) C.V. Law. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Partnership shall not make any distributions except to the extent permitted under the C.V. Law.
(i) 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.
(j) Tax Payments. Each Partner covenants for itself and its successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives (and any Affiliate that makes a Direct Loan in lieu of such Partner) 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 (and whether before or after the repayment of any Direct Loan payable to such Person), pay to the Partnership or the General Partner on demand any amount that the Partnership or the General Partner (or the obligor of any Direct Loan), as the case may be, pays in respect of taxes (including withholding taxes) imposed with reference to such Partner (or its Affiliate) upon income of, or distributions in respect of Partnership Investments made to, or amounts paid in respect of any Direct Loan to, such Partner (or its Affiliate).
Section 6.06. Capital Accounts. (a) In general, with respect to each Fund, there shall be established for each Partner having an interest in such Fund, on the books and records of the Partnership a separate capital account (a “Capital
68
#10338536v8
Account”), which shall initially be zero. The Capital Account of each such Partner with respect to such Fund shall be:
(i) credited with any Capital Contributions made by such Partner in respect of such Fund;
(ii) credited with any allocations of income, profit or gain of the Partnership to such Partner in respect of such Fund;
(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 in respect of such Fund; 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 in respect of such Fund), deduction or loss of the Partnership to such Partner in respect of such Fund.
For the avoidance of doubt, Direct Loans (including any items of income, profit, gain, loss or expense associated with any Direct Loans and any Capital Contributions made to fund, or any payments received of principal on and interest in respect of, a Direct Loan) shall be excluded from, and shall not be reflected in, the Capital Account of any 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 with respect to any Fund to reflect a revaluation of the properties belonging to such Fund in connection with any of the events specified in Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(5).
69
#10338536v8
Section 6.07. Allocations of Income and Loss. (a) In General. The provisions of this Section 6.07 shall apply separately to each Fund. The Partnership’s Net Income and Net Loss (and items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense included in the determination of Net Income or Net Loss) with respect to a Fund shall be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with the corresponding distributions of Proceeds (other than Proceeds paid to a Partner or its Affiliates with respect to Direct Loans) to be made pursuant to this Article 6 with respect to such Fund. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following principles shall be applied:
(i) the Investment Percentage of Net Income and Net Loss in respect of a Fund for each Fiscal Year attributable to the General Partner shall be allocated 100% to the General Partner; and
(ii) each Limited Partner’s Investment Percentage of Net Income and Net Loss (and items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense included in the determination of Net Income or Net Loss) with respect to such Fund shall be allocated 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) with respect to such Fund would, as nearly as possible, be equal to the distributions that would be made pursuant to this Article 6 (other than deemed distributions representing amounts paid to a Partner or its Affiliates with respect to Direct Loans) with respect to such Fund.
(b) Other Items. (i) Interest expense with respect to any Default Loans shall be allocated pursuant to Section 5.03(b)(iii)(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 in respect of a Fund 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 to such Fund.
(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
70
#10338536v8
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 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 and are granted an interest in a Fund on different dates during any Fiscal Year (in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement), the Net Income (or Net Loss) with respect to such Fund shall be allocated to the Partners having interests in such Fund 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 for each Fund shall be adjusted as follows:
71
#10338536v8
(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
(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-
72
#10338536v8
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.
(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 apportioned among the Funds, 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 by the obligor under any Direct Loan Note) with respect to a Fund or where a direct or indirect withholding tax on income or payments to the Partnership (or by the obligor under any Direct Loan Note) with respect to a Fund 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 having an interest in such Fund (or Partners or their Affiliates having interests in Direct Loans), such tax expense or withholding tax shall be allocated to, and such expense or withholding tax shall reduce the amount distributable to, the Partners having an interest in such Fund 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 with respect to a Fund).
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
73
#10338536v8
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. Interpretation of Allocation Provisions. For the avoidance of doubt, the allocation provisions contain in Section 6.07 and Section 6.08 are not intended to impact the waterfall distributions to the Partners governed by Section 6.02.
Section 6.10. 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.
ARTICLE 7
REPORTS TO LIMITED PARTNERS; OPERATIONAL AUDIT
Section 7.01. Reports. (a) The books of account and records of the Partnership shall be audited as of the end of each Fiscal Year by the Partnership’s Approved Accountant. All reports provided to the Limited Partners pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be prepared in accordance with IFRS.

(f) The General Partner shall provide the Limited Partners and any Limited Partner’s Affiliates that made a Direct Loan with all other relevant information in the General Partner’s possession and reasonably requested by any Limited Partner or Limited Partner’s Affiliate that made a Direct Loan, including any such information with respect to JHPL’s fiscal year end reporting requirements.
(g) The General Partner agrees to reasonably cooperate with APG with respect to the delivery of any reports described in this Section 7.01 after the dates set forth in the same.
Section 7.02. Operational Audit. (a) Upon prior written notice to the General Partner, the Required Limited Partners (other than any Limited Partner that is an Affiliate of Host) may elect to have an audit of the operations of the Partnership and any Fund in which such Limited Partners or any of their Affiliates have an interest made by such independent certified public accountant as such Limited Partners determine to select, including, in particular, but without limitation, an audit as to the costs and expenses charged or otherwise allocated to the Partnership by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates. Any such election may be made no more than once annually.

If such audit determines that there has been an undercharge and/or underallocation to the Partnership, then each Limited Partner having an interest in the Fund with respect to which the audit relates shall, within * * * * * * * * * * * * days after the delivery of any such audit pay or cause to be paid to the Partnership its pro rata share of any such undercharge and/or underallocation, provided such payment does not lead to such Limited Partner exceeding its Available Capital Commitment, in which case the General Partner may withhold such amounts from Proceeds (other than Proceeds paid to a Partner or its Affiliates with respect to Direct Loans but including amounts withheld by the obligor under any Direct Loan Note and remitted to the applicable Fund as provided in the Direct Loan Note) prior to making distributions pursuant to Section 6.02 (notwithstanding that this paragraph is not included in the lead-in clause to Section 6.02(a)).
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 fraud or from the occurrence of an Uncured Breach or Uncured Material Violation of Law.
(b) The Partnership shall for the account of the relevant Fund, 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 relating to an individual Fund (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

77
#10338536v8
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 fraud or from the occurrence of an Uncured Breach or Uncured Material Violation of Law. Subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, the Partnership will for the account of the relevant Fund periodically reimburse each Indemnified Person for all expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) as such expenses are reasonably 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 fraud 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 for the account of the relevant Fund 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 the account of the relevant Fund (for example, pursuant to insurance policies that provide primary coverage or Portfolio Company indemnification arrangements) before causing the Partnership for the account of the relevant Fund 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 for the account of the relevant Fund 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 liquid 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
78
#10338536v8
Available Capital Commitments, provided that if the sum of (x) and (y) above 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 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” (including whenever a prior written consent has to be given) 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, a Fund 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 General Partner shall acquire and maintain adequate liability insurance for the benefit of the Partnership and each Fund at the Partnership’s expense with customary limits and deductibles covering the General Partner and its Affiliates. Neither the Partnership nor any Fund shall 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 for the account of the relevant Fund provide the indemnification and shall be subrogated to the right of the Indemnified Party to recover from such other sources.

ARTICLE 9
DURATION AND DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP
Section 9.01. Duration. The term of the Partnership shall continue in existence until the earlier of (x) the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date and (y) the conclusion of the liquidation of all Partnership Investments (the “Initial Term”), unless the Partnership is sooner dissolved pursuant to Section 9.02; provided that, subject to Section 9.02, the General Partner, with the unanimous consent of the Limited Partners, may extend the term of the Partnership for up to two additional successive one-year terms following the expiration of the Initial Term or for the period determined pursuant to Section 6.03(c).
Section 9.02. Dissolution. (a) The Partners agree that section 7A:1683 Dutch Civil Code shall not apply and that the Partnership shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the earliest of:
(i) the expiration of the term of the Partnership provided in Section 9.01;
(ii) a decision made by the General Partner, after consultation with counsel, to dissolve the Partnership following its good faith determination that (A) changes in any applicable law or regulation would have a material adverse effect on the continuation of the Partnership or (B) such action is necessary or desirable as provided in Section 2.03(a);
(iii) an event of withdrawal of the General Partner under Dutch Law unless, if there is no remaining general partner of the Partnership, the Required Limited Partners agree in writing within 90 days of such event of withdrawal to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment of a successor general partner of the Partnership, effective as of the date of such event;
(iv) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Dutch Law, including for serious cause pursuant to section 7A:1684 Dutch Civil Code (gewichtige redenen);
(v) at any time there are no limited partners of the Partnership, unless the business of the Partnership is continued in accordance with Dutch Law; and
(vi) Intentionally Omitted.
(vii) the Disposition of all Partnership Investments pursuant to Section 5.04(g), Section 6.03(b) and Section 10.03(i) and the repayment of all Direct Loans, provided that if all of the Partnership Investments belonging to a Fund are
80
#10338536v8
Disposed, all Direct Loans relating to such Fund repaid and all Proceeds (other than Proceeds paid to a Partner or its Affiliates with respect to Direct Loans) relating to such Fund distributed and all other assets are sold and all other proceeds relating to such Fund repaid or distributed and no further liabilities in respect of such Fund and such Fund’s former investments remain (for the avoidance of doubt, including any future liabilities), then this Agreement shall no longer be effective in respect of such Fund save as to antecedent breaches and claims that pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provisions in this Agreement, the non-Host Limited Partners can at any time and for any reason dissolve the Partnership by an affirmative vote of the non-Host Limited Partners representing at least * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the death, dissolution and winding-up, bankruptcy or insolvency, or the appointment of a guardian over a Partner shall not, in and of itself, cause the Partnership to be dissolved except with respect to the Partner involved, provided that the Partnership continues to have at least two Partners, including at least one general partner.
Section 9.03. Liquidation of Partnership. Upon dissolution, the Partnership’s business shall be liquidated in an orderly manner. Except as provided in the two immediately succeeding sentences, the General Partner shall be the liquidator to wind up the affairs of the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement. If there shall be no General Partner or if the Partnership shall be dissolved pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(iii), the Limited Partners, upon the approval of the Required Limited Partners, may approve one or more liquidators to act as the liquidator in carrying out such liquidation. For the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of an alternative liquidator would not impact the Carried Interest that the General Partner may be entitled to. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *. In performing its duties, subject to applicable law, the liquidator shall use its best efforts to sell, distribute, exchange or otherwise dispose of the assets of the Partnership (and cause the Direct Loans to be repaid) in any reasonable manner that the liquidator shall determine to be in the best interest of the Partners.
Section 9.04. Distribution Upon Dissolution of the Partnership. (a) Upon dissolution of the Partnership, the liquidator winding up the affairs of the Partnership shall cause the assets of the Partnership to be sold in order to distribute the proceeds in cash, provided, with the unanimous consent of the
*Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
81
#10338536v8
Limited Partners (in the case of a proposal that the in-kind distribution be to Host, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that a disagreement as to value of the asset to be distributed in kind shall be reasonable grounds to withhold consent) one or more assets of the Partnership may be retained for distribution in kind to the Partners in accordance with Section 6.05(b). Subject to Section 6.05(b), assets to be distributed in kind shall be valued by the liquidator using an Approved Appraiser. Subject to Dutch Law, after all liabilities of the Partnership have been satisfied or duly provided for (including any amounts owed the General Partner pursuant to Section 6.03), the remaining assets of the Partnership with respect to each Fund shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances for such Fund to the extent thereof, and thereafter in accordance with Section 6.02.
(b) In the reasonable discretion of the liquidator, and subject to Dutch Law, a portion of the distributions in respect of each Fund that would otherwise be made to the General Partner and the Limited Partners pursuant to Section 9.04(a) (or in respect of Direct Loan Notes that would otherwise be made to a Partner or its Affiliate) may be distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the Partners for purposes of liquidating Partnership assets, collecting amounts owed to the Partnership, and paying any liabilities or obligations of the relevant Subsidiary of the Partnership in respect of the relevant Fund or the General Partner arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the Partnership’s affairs.
The assets of any trust established in connection with the foregoing paragraph shall be distributed to the Partners from time to time, in the discretion of the liquidator, in the same proportions as the amount distributed to such trust by the Partnership would otherwise have been distributed to the Partners pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Each Partner shall look solely to the assets belonging to the Fund or Funds to which such Partner’s Capital Contributions relate (or, with respect to Direct Loans, the Coop or Subsidiary of a Coop that is the obligor on the Direct Loan Note), for the return of such Partner’s Capital Contributions, and no Partner or Affiliate of such Partner shall have priority over any other Partner or such other Partner’s Affiliates as to the return of such Capital Contributions.
ARTICLE 10
TRANSFERABILITY OF A PARTNER’S INTEREST; WITHDRAWAL BY A PARTNER
Section 10.01. Transferability of General Partner’s Interest. (a) 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,
82
#10338536v8
pledge, hypothecation, swap or other disposition being herein collectively called “Transfers”) and shall procure that none of its Affiliates shall effect a transfer of its interest in Direct Loans 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 such a Transfer as a substitute general partner of the Partnership, and such transferee shall be deemed admitted to the Partnership as a general partner of the Partnership immediately prior to such Transfer and shall continue the business of the Partnership without dissolution.
(b) A transfer of the General Partner’s interest (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all rights and obligations of the General Partner under this Agreement, including the interests of it and its Affiliates in Direct Loans (if any)), pursuant to Section 2.11 or this Section 10.01 shall be effectuated by way of assumptions of contract (contractsovernemingen) within the meaning of Section 6:159 of the Dutch Civil Code and any assets formally (goederenrechtelijk) held by the transferor General Partner for the benefit of the Partnership shall be transferred to the transferee General Partner in accordance with applicable law. The Partners hereby give their cooperation in advance to such assumptions of contract and any such transfers and agree that this cooperation cannot be revoked.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.01(a), the General Partner shall not assign any of its rights or duties hereunder and shall procure that none of its Affiliates shall assign interest in Direct Loans except with such approval of the Required Limited Partners.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in Article 2 or this Article 10, the General Partner may not withdraw from the Partnership or be removed as general partner of the Partnership.
Section 10.02. Transferability of a Limited Partner’s Interest. (a) Subject to Section 10.07 and Section 10.08, other than as expressly set forth in Section 5.03, no Transfer of all or any part of a Limited Partner’s interest (whether or not exclusively relating to one or more specific Funds) in the Partnership (including to an Affiliate of such Limited Partner) may be made without (x) the prior written unanimous consent of all Partners, and (y) satisfying the provisions of Sections 10.02(b), 10.03(j) and 10.05.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.07, in no event may a Limited Partner Transfer any portion of its interest in the Partnership (whether or not exclusively relating to one or more specific Funds) 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
83

General Partner to be in violation of the Securities Law or any other applicable law or regulation.

All expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the General Partner or the Partnership in connection with any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is consummated) shall, unless otherwise determined by the General Partner, acting in good faith, be borne by the transferring Limited Partner or such Limited Partner’s transferee (any such transferee, when admitted and shown as such on the books and records of the Partnership, a “Substituted Limited Partner”). In addition, the transferring Limited Partner or the Substituted Limited Partner shall indemnify the Partnership and the General Partner in a manner satisfactory to the General Partner against any 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.

Partner’s interest in the Partnership may be admitted to the Partnership or increase its limited partner interest (as applicable) as a Substituted Limited Partner without the prior unanimous written consent of the Partners (other than Defaulting Partners pursuant to Section 5.03 under circumstances where the relative interests of the non-Defaulting Partners will not change (i.e., they are contributing their pro rata share of Default Amounts)). Such Person, as a condition to its admission as a Limited Partner or increase of its Limited Partner’s interest (as applicable), shall execute 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.
(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(d), 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 (contractsoverneming) within the meaning of Section 6:159 of the Dutch Civil Code), in form reasonably satisfactory to the General Partner, executed and acknowledged by both the seller, assignor or transferor and the purchaser, assignee, transferee or other recipient;
(iii) such purchaser, assignee, transferee or other recipient shall have represented that 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;
(v) the books and records of the Partnership shall have been changed (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.
87
#10338536v8
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.

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 than the last day of the Partnership’s Fiscal Year, the distributive shares of the various items of Partnership income, gain, loss, and expense as computed for tax purposes and the related cash distributions shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Code section 706.
Section 10.07. Withdrawal of a Partner. Partners may not withdraw (in whole or in part) from the Partnership prior to its dissolution and winding up. Upon the death, dissolution and winding up, bankruptcy or insolvency or the appointment of a guardian over a Partner (the “Withdrawing 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 or a new general partner has been appointed. The Partnership shall not be obligated to make any payments or distributions to a Withdrawing Partner or cause a Coop or Subsidiary of a Coop to repay any Direct Loans due to such Partners or their Affiliates. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no other event affecting a Partner shall, in and of itself, affect its obligations under this Agreement or affect the Partnership.
Section 10.08. Transfer and Admission Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the interests in the Partnership are not and will not be offered in the Netherlands, unless one or several of the following apply:
(a) the offer is made only to qualified investors within the meaning of the Dutch Financial Markets Supervision Act (the “FMSA”) (Wet op het financieel toezicht); or
(b) the offer is made to fewer than 100 persons, not being qualified investors within the meaning of the FMSA; or

(i) When and if Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.83-3(1) and the proposed revenue procedure contained in Notice 2005-43, 2005-24 I.R.B. 1, (together, the “Proposed Guidance”) or any substantially similar successor rules become effective, the Partnership is authorized and directed to elect the safe harbor described therein, under which the fair market value of any interest in the Partnership that is transferred in connection with the performance of services will be treated as being equal to the liquidation value of that interest (the “Safe Harbor”);
(ii) While the election described in clause (i) remains effective, the Partnership and each of the Partners (including any Person to whom an interest in the Partnership is transferred in connection with the performance of services) shall use reasonable efforts to comply with all requirements of the Safe Harbor described in the Proposed Guidance (or any substantially similar successor rules) with respect to all interests in the Partnership that are transferred in connection with the performance of services.
Section 11.14. Follow-on Ventures. The General Partner shall offer to the Limited Partners, the right to participate in any follow-on venture to be formed by the General Partner for the purpose of investing in Real Estate Assets consistent with the Partnership’s investment strategy and objectives set forth in this Agreement, provided that nothing shall preclude the General Partner from simultaneously offering such opportunity to third-party investors. If the General Partner of the Partnership establishes a Fund not then existing, as provided for in Section 1.04, the Partners of the Partnership shall have the right to participate in and obtain an interest in such Fund.

NOTE: If the Investor selects this item, the trustee and each settlor or other person who has contributed assets to the trust must complete a copy of this questionnaire (insofar as is necessary to determine that such person is itself a “qualified purchaser”). |
3 This general rule is subject to the following provisos: (1) in the case of Commodity Interests (as defined in Annex A), the amount of investments shall be the value of the initial margin or option premium deposited in connection with such Commodity Interests; and (2) a Family Company shall have deducted from the value of such Family Company’s investments any outstanding indebtedness incurred by an owner of the Family Company to acquire such investments.

NOTE: If the Investor selects this item and the company is a trust that can be amended or revoked by the grantors at any time, each grantor must complete a copy of this questionnaire (insofar as is necessary to determine that such grantor is itself a “qualified purchaser”). | ||||
¨ | (e) | A “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in paragraph (a) of Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, acting for its own account, the account of another “qualified institutional buyer”, or the account of a “qualified purchaser”, provided that (i) a dealer described in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of Rule 144A must own and invest on a discretionary basis at least $25 million in securities of issuers that are not affiliated persons of the dealer and (ii) a plan referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(D) or (a)(1)(i)(E) of Rule 144A, or a trust fund referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(F) of Rule 144A that holds the assets of such a plan, will not be deemed to be acting for its own account if investment decisions with respect to the plan are made by the beneficiaries of the plan, except with respect to investment decisions made solely by the fiduciary, trustee or sponsor of such plan. | ||
¨ | (f) | A company (including a partnership, limited liability company or corporation), each beneficial owner of the securities of which is a “qualified purchaser”. | ||
NOTE: If the Investor selects this item, each beneficial owner of the Investor must complete a copy of this questionnaire (insofar as is necessary to determine that such grantor is itself a “qualified purchaser”). |

APPENDIX H
NOTE EVIDENCING DIRECT LOAN [To be modified if governed by the
laws of a jurisdiction other than The Netherlands.]
Principal Amount of [EUR] [Date]
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, [ ], a [ ] company with its [registered] office in [ ] and having an address at [ ] (the “Obligor”), hereby promises to pay to [Partner or Affiliate of Partner] with its [registered office] [corporate seat] in [ ] and having an address at [ ] (the “Payee”) the principal sum of [ ] Euros (EUR [ ]) (the “Loan”), on the Maturity Date (defined below), together with interest at the rates and in the manner set forth below. This promissory note (this “Note”) is a “Direct Loan Note” as defined in and as contemplated by that certain Fifth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of HHR Euro C.V. dated as of April [ ], 2014 (as may be amended or restated from time to time, the “Partnership Agreement”) among HHR Euro II GP B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) with its corporate seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands (the “General Partner”), HST LP Euro B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) with its corporate seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, HST Euro II LP B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) with its corporate seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, APG Strategic Real Estate Pool, N.V., a company organized under the laws of the Netherlands and Jasmine Hotels Private Limited, a Singapore private company limited by shares. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings set forth in the Partnership Agreement. The terms and conditions set forth in the Partnership Agreement relating to Direct Loans are incorporated by reference in this Note as if fully set forth herein and each of the Obligor and the Payee (to the extent it is an Affiliate of an entity that is a party to the Partnership Agreement) undertakes that it is bound by such terms and conditions even though it is not a party to the Partnership Agreement. This Note is being delivered in connection with the Partnership Investment commonly known as [ ] (the “Subject Partnership Investment”). In the event that, in connection with the Subject Partnership Investment, a Direct Loan Note is issued to more than one Partner (or an Affiliate), the Obligor undertakes, other than as required by law and other than as to any payee (or, if such payee is not a Partner, the Partner affiliated with such payee) as to which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to treat the payees under Direct Loan Notes equally (in proportion to the principal sum plus the accrued and unpaid interest outstanding under each such Direct Loan Note)
Annex-H-1
#10338536v8
and any such unequal treatment requires the unanimous consent of all Limited Partners.
1. Interest
The Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to [ .00%] and, to the extent of Available Cash and on a pro rata basis (based on the principal sum plus accrued and unpaid interest outstanding) with all other Direct Loan Notes issued with respect to the Subject Partnership Investment, such accrued interest shall be payable annually on the anniversary of the date of this Note and on each successive anniversary thereof (each, a “Payment Date”) until this Note is repaid in full[; provided that, in the case of any overdue amounts of principal or interest, the Borrower shall pay interest, on demand by the Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of [2]% plus the interest rate applicable to the Loan at the time at which it became overdue]. Any interest not paid when due shall be added to the principal amount of the Loan and shall bear interest from such date as provided above. “Available Cash” shall mean any cash proceeds received by the Obligor from the Subject Partnership Investment net of (i) any expenses incurred by, or appropriate reserves established for liabilities of, the Obligor (or any Subsidiary of the Obligor) or the Partnership (or any Coop or Subsidiary of a Coop) in connection with the Subject Partnership Investment and (ii) any amounts distributed or to be distributed by the Obligor to a Coop for the payment of Partnership Expenses.
2. Maturity
The Obligor shall repay to the Payee the outstanding principal amount of the Loan (and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) in full on the earlier of (i) [ , 20 ], (ii) the date on which HHR Euro C.V. terminates in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, and (iii) the date that is days following the disposition of the Subject Partnership Investment (the “Maturity Date”).
3. Prepayment
The Loan, evidenced by this Note, shall be prepayable in whole or in part at any time and will not be subject to any penalty or other break funding costs.
4. Payments
Payments made hereunder shall be made to the Payee at the address or to the account designated in writing by the Payee to the Obligor. The Obligor shall not make any payment in kind to the Payee without the prior written consent of the Payee and all Partners under the Partnership Agreement. If there is a payment in kind to the Payee, (i) the amount of such payment in kind shall be the fair market value of such payment as determined by the appraisal procedure set forth in
Annex-H-2
#10338536v8
Section 11.02 of the Partnership Agreement, and (ii) the Payee may designate any other Person to receive such payment.
5. Obligor Right to Withhold
Prior to making a payment pursuant to this Note, the Obligor may, upon instruction of the General Partner, withhold or retain from any such payment to the Payee (i) any amounts that the Payee (or, if the Payee is not a Partner, the Partner affiliated with the Payee), upon receipt thereof, would be required to contribute to the Partnership pursuant to Section 2.11(b), 6.02(b), 6.05(c), 6.05(f) or 6.05(g) of the Partnership Agreement and (ii) any amounts that the General Partner would then have been entitled to retain or withhold from distributions to the Payee (or, if the Payee is not a Partner, the Partner affiliated with the Payee) pursuant to Section 5.03(b)(v), 5.05(a), 6.03(d) or 7.02(c) of the Partnership Agreement. The Obligor may, upon instruction of the General Partner, suspend all payments to the Payee if the Payee is then in default with respect to the Secured Obligations (defined below) or an Event of Default exists as to such Payee (or, if the Payee is not a Partner, the Partner affiliated with the Payee). Any amounts so withheld or retained pursuant to this Note shall be remitted by the Obligor to the Partnership for the benefit and account of the Fund to which the Subject Partnership Investment belongs, to be applied by the General Partner to the discharge of the obligation, establishment of reserves (as applicable) or reinvestment (as applicable) in respect of which such amounts were withheld or retained (and shall be treated as if paid to the Payee and contributed to the Partnership by the relevant Partner as Capital Contribution). If withholding or retaining a payment to the Payee (instead of making the payment to the Payee followed by the Payee or its affiliated Partner contributing such amount to the Partnership) would result in a tax disadvantage for the Payee or its affiliated Partner, such payment will be made to the Payee or its affiliated Partner and then contributed by such Person to the Partnership unless, based on reasonable, concrete and objective grounds, it is likely that neither the Payee nor its affiliated Partner would meet its obligation to contribute the required amount to the Partnership.
6. Accelerated maturity
Without prejudice to any of its other rights and obligations, the Payee may, at its option, terminate all of its obligations under this Note with immediate effect, and demand immediate payment of all of its claims under this Note in their nominal amount, by notifying the Obligor in writing, if (i) the Obligor does not pay on the due date any amount payable pursuant to the Note at the place and in the currency in which it is expressed to be payable, or (ii) any corporate action, legal proceedings or other procedure or steps (including the appointment of any liquidator, receiver, administrator or similar officer) is taken in relation to, the winding up, dissolution, administration or reorganisation of the Obligor or any
Annex-H-3
#10338536v8
suspension of payments or bankruptcy or moratorium or settlement of any indebtedness of any Obligor, or any analogous procedure or step is taken in any jurisdiction.
7. Waivers
If a payment to the Payee has not been made by the due date, the Obligor shall be in default without any further notice (ingebrekestelling) being required. Obligor expressly waives any presentment, demand, protest or notice in connection with this Note, now or hereafter required by applicable law.
8. Application of payments
Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, any payment made pursuant to this Note shall be credited first to accrued and unpaid interest and then to unpaid principal amount of the Loan.
9. Nature of claims
The claims evidenced by this Note are registered claims (vorderingen op naam) and this Note is not payable to bearer (aan toonder) or to order (aan order). For the avoidance of doubt, this Note does not qualify as a promissory note within the meaning of the 1930 convention for the settlement of certain conflicts of laws in connection with bills of exchange and promissory notes.
This Note is a non-recourse note. The obligations of the Obligor evidenced by this Note are to be repaid by the Obligor from the proceeds from time to time of the Subject Partnership Investment.
10. Severability
If part of this Note is or becomes invalid or non-binding, the parties shall remain bound to the remaining part. The parties shall replace the invalid or non-binding part by provisions which are valid and binding and the effect of which, given the contents and purpose of this agreement, is, to the greatest extent possible, similar to that of the invalid or non-binding part.
11. Transfer of rights and obligations
Subject to Section 12, no party may transfer or procure the assumption of, as the case may be, rights and obligations under this Note by means of a transfer of legal relationship (contractsoverneming) or an assignment of any of its rights and/or obligations (cessie en/of schuldoverneming) to or by a third party other than with the prior written consent of the other party and subject to the relevant provisions
Annex-H-4
#10338536v8
of the Partnership Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 10.01(c) and 10.02(a)).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Payee may transfer or procure the assumption of, as the case may be, rights and obligations under this Note by means of a transfer of legal relationship (contractsoverneming) or an assignment of any of its rights and/or obligations (cessie en/of schuldoverneming) without the prior written consent of the Obligor to or by any Affiliate of such Payee, provided that such Affiliate remains an Affiliate of the Payee. The Obligor, for the avoidance of doubt, hereby, in advance, provides its cooperation and consent to any such transfer by the Payee. The amount of any transfer must be in excess of EUR 100,000 (or the equivalent amount in any other currency).
12. Collateral Pledge
The Payee hereby agrees to grant to the General Partner and the Limited Partners jointly for the benefit and account of the relevant Fund a right of pledge on its rights under this Note as collateral security for the financial obligations of the Payee or, if the Payee is not a Partner, the Partner affiliated with the Payee, to contribute to the Partnership certain amounts received as payments under this Note pursuant to Section 2.11(b), 6.02(b), 6.05(c), 6.05(f) or 6.05(g) of the Partnership Agreement (the “Secured Obligations”), in connection with the relevant Fund, the relevant Fund being the Fund to which the Subject Partnership Investment belongs.
In furtherance of the immediately preceding sentence, in order to secure the Secured Obligations (whether present or future, actual or contingent) in connection with the relevant Fund, Payee hereby pledges to the General Partner and the Limited Partners all of its present and future rights, title and interest in and to this Note, including, without limitation, the right to enforce all remedies against the relevant Coop or Subsidiary of such Coop in connection with such Direct Loan, and to all amounts (including principal and accrued and unpaid interest) due and payable on the Loan pursuant to this Note (the “Collateral”). In order to effectuate the above agreement, the Payee hereby, as the case may be in advance, pledges the Collateral to the General Partner and the Limited Partners as security for the payment when due of the Secured Obligations. The General Partner and the Limited Partners, as the case may be in advance, hereby accept this right of pledge. The Obligor acknowledges and confirms that it has received notice of the pledge over the Collateral under this Note.
The General Partner and Limited Partners are authorised to collect the Collateral and to enter into compromises, settlements and other agreements with the Obligor, to grant discharge in respect of the Collateral and to exercise all other rights of the Payee in connection with the Collateral (including calling in the Collateral). The Payee further agrees, upon request of the General Partner or any
Annex-H-5
#10338536v8
Limited Partner, to deliver to the General Partner and each Limited Partner such information from time to time as is necessary to enforce such remedies and collect such amounts.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the General Partner and the Limited Partners hereby authorise the Payee to collect the Collateral and to enter into compromises, settlements and other agreements with the Obligor, to grant discharge in respect of its Collateral and to exercise all other rights of the Payee in connection with the Collateral (including calling in its Collateral), in each case to the extent these rights are exercised in the ordinary course of business.
Upon the occurrence of any default in respect of the Secured Obligations by the Payee or, if the Payee is not a Partner, the Partner affiliated with the Payee, the General Partner and the Limited Partners may revoke this authorisation. Upon such revocation the General Partner and the Limited Partners may inform the Obligor of that revocation and direct the Obligor to pay any and all further amounts payable on the Loan into a bank account designated by the General Partner for the benefit and account of the relevant Fund.
The Payee agrees to take all reasonably necessary, proper or desirable actions (including the execution and delivery of any document reasonably requested and the pledge of the Payee’s interest in this Note) to accomplish the foregoing pledge.
References in this Clause to any legal acts by the General Partner and/or the Limited Partners should be read and understood to refer to such acts by the General Partner and/or the Limited Partners acting in name of the Partnership.
All proceeds resulting from the pledge will be applied by the Partnership solely for the benefit and account of the Fund that the Subject Partnership Investment relates to.
13. Governing law; competent court
This Note shall be governed, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of The Netherlands. All disputes arising in connection with this Note, including disputes concerning the existence and validity thereof, shall be resolved by the competent courts in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

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.
