(a) Allocations of Profit. FC Profit and Operating Profit for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Partners:

(i) first, to Partners to which FC Loss and Operating Loss previously have been allocated pursuant to Section 3.4(b), to the extent of and in proportion to the amount of such losses;

(ii) next, to the extent that the cumulative amount of distributions pursuant to Section 4 (other than distributions representing a return of such Partners’ capital contributions) exceeds the cumulative amount of FC Profit and Operating Profit previously allocated to such Partners pursuant to Section 3.4(a), in the order that such distributions occurred; and

(iii) thereafter, any remaining such FC Profit and Operating Profit shall be allocated among the Partners so as to produce Capital Accounts (computed after taking into account any other FC Profit and Operating Profit or FC Loss and Operating Loss for the Fiscal Year in which such event occurred and all distributions pursuant to Section 4 with respect to such Fiscal Year and after adding back each Partner’s share, if any, of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, as defined in Treasury Regulations sections 1.704 - 2(b)(2) and 1.704 - 2(i), or Partnership Minimum Gain, as defined in Treasury Regulations sections 1.704 - 2(b)(2) and 1.704 - 2(d)) for the Partners such that a distribution of an amount of cash equal to such Capital Account balances in accordance with such Capital Account balances would be in the amounts, sequence and priority set forth in Section 4.

(b) Allocations of Losses. Subject to the limitation of Section 3.4(c), FC Loss for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective FC Shares as of the close of such Fiscal Year, and Operating Loss for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective Points as of the close of such Fiscal Year.

(c) To the extent that the allocations of FC Loss or Operating Loss contemplated by Section 3.4(b) would cause the Capital Account of any Limited Partner to be less than zero, such FC Loss or Operating Loss shall to that extent instead be allocated to and debited against the Capital Account of the General Partner. Following any such adjustment pursuant to Section 3.4(c) with respect to any Limited Partner, any FC Profit or Operating Profit for any subsequent Fiscal Year which would otherwise be credited to the Capital Account of such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 3.4(a) shall instead be credited to the Capital Account of the General Partner until the cumulative amounts so credited to the Capital Account of the General Partner with respect to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 3.4(c) is equal to the cumulative amount debited against the Capital Account of the General Partner with respect to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 3.4(c).

(d) Special Allocations

(v) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations     section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Limited Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the deficit balance in the Capital Account of such Partner as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 3.4(d)(i) may be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account after all other allocations provided for in this Section 3 have been tentatively made as if this Section 3.4(d)(i) were not in this Agreement. This Section 3.4(d)(i) is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii), and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(vi) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year that is in excess of the sum of (1) the amount such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations sections 1.704-2(g)(l) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 3.4(d)(ii) may be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Section 3 have been made as if Section 3.4(d)(i) and this Section 3.4(d)(ii) were not in this Agreement.

(vii) Other Special Allocations. Special allocations shall be made in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Treasury Regulations sections 1.704-2(f), (g) and (j) (minimum gain chargeback), 1.704-2(i)(4) (partner minimum gain chargeback), 1.704-2(i)(2) (nonrecourse deductions), and, to the extent that an election under section 754 of the Code is in effect, 1.704- l(b)(2)(iv)(m) (section 754 adjustments).

(e) Each Limited Partner’s rights and entitlements as a Limited Partner are limited to the rights to receive allocations and distributions of FC Profit and Operating Profit expressly conferred by this Agreement and any side letter or similar agreement entered into pursuant to Section 10.1(b) and the other rights expressly conferred by this Agreement and any such side letter or similar agreement or required by the Act, and a Limited Partner shall not be entitled to any other allocations, distributions or payments in respect of its interest, or to have or exercise any other rights, privileges or powers.

3.5 Tax Allocations

(a) For United States federal, state and local income tax purposes, Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or any item thereof) for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated to and among the Partners in order to reflect the allocations of FC Profit, FC Loss, Operating Profit and Operating Loss pursuant to Section 3.4 for such Fiscal Year, taking into account any variation between the adjusted tax basis and book value of Partnership property in accordance with the principles of section 704(c) of the Code.

(b) If any Partner or Partners are treated for United States federal income tax purposes as realizing ordinary income because of receiving an interest in the Partnership (whether under section 83 of the Code or under any similar provision of any law, rule or regulation) and the Partnership is entitled to any offsetting deduction (net of any income realized by the Partnership as a result of such receipt), the Partnership’s net deduction shall be allocated to and among the Partners in such manner as to offset, as nearly as possible, the ordinary income realized by such Partner or Partners.

3.6 Reserves; Adjustments for Certain Future Events

(a) Appropriate reserves may be created, accrued and charged against the Operating Profit or Operating Loss for contingent liabilities, if any, as of the date any such contingent liability becomes known to the General Partner or as of each other date as the General Partner deems appropriate, such reserves to be in the amounts which the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate, including for the avoidance of doubt, in respect of any potential Clawback Amount. The General Partner may increase or reduce any such reserve from time to time by such amounts as the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate. The amount of any such reserve, or any increase or decrease therein, shall be proportionately charged or credited, as appropriate, to the Capital Accounts of those parties who are Partners at the time when such reserve is created, increased or decreased, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective Points at such time.

(b) If any amount is required by Section 3.6(a) to be credited to a Person who is no longer a Partner, such amount shall be paid to such Person in cash. Any amount required to be charged pursuant to Section 3.6(a) shall be debited against the current balance in the Capital Account of the affected Partners. To the extent that the aggregate current Capital Account balances of such affected Partners are insufficient to cover the full amount of the required charge, the deficiency shall be debited against the Capital Accounts of the other Partners in proportion to their respective Capital Account balances at such time; provided that each such other Partner shall be entitled to a preferential allocation, in proportion to and to the extent of such other Partner’s share of any such deficiency of any Operating Profit that would otherwise have been allocable after the date of such charge to the Capital Accounts of the affected Partners whose Capital Accounts were insufficient to cover the full amount of the required charge.

3.7 Finality and Binding Effect of General Partner’s Determinations

All matters concerning the determination, valuation and allocation among the Partners with respect to any profit or loss of the Partnership and any associated items of income, gain, deduction, loss and credit, pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, including any accounting procedures applicable thereto, shall be determined by the General Partner, and such determinations and allocations shall be final and binding on all the Partners.

If the amount of such taxes is greater than any such then distributable amounts, then such Partner and any successor to such Partner’s interest shall indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership and the General Partner against, and shall pay to the Partnership as a contribution to the capital of the Partnership, upon demand of the General Partner, the amount of such excess.

(h) The General Partner may withhold from any distribution or other payment to any Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise any other amounts due from such Limited Partner to the Partnership or the General Partner pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not otherwise paid. Any amounts so withheld shall be applied by the General Partner to discharge the obligation in respect of which such amounts were withheld.

4.3 Limitation on Distributions

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the General Partner from engaging in any activity other than acting as General Partner hereunder.

5.7 Duty of Care; Indemnification

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the General Partner and its Affiliates and their respective partners, members, managers, shareholders, officers, directors, employees and associates and, with the approval of the General Partner, any agent of any of the foregoing (including their respective executors, heirs, assigns, successors or other legal representatives) (each, a “Covered Person” and collectively, the “Covered Persons”), shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any of the other Partners for any loss, claim, damage or liability occasioned by any acts or omissions in the performance of its services hereunder, except to the extent that it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (a “Final Adjudication”) that such loss, claim, damage or liability is due to an act or omission of a Covered Person is due to an act or omission of such a Covered Person that constituted a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(b) A Covered Person shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law by the Partnership against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by or imposed upon it by reason of or in connection with any action taken or omitted by such Covered Person arising out of the Covered Person’s status as a Partner or its activities on behalf of the Partnership, including in connection with any action, suit, investigation or proceeding before any judicial, administrative, regulatory or legislative body or agency to which it may be made a party or otherwise involved or with which it shall be threatened by reason of being or having been a Partner or by reason of serving or having served, at the request of the Partnership in its capacity as Fund General Partner, as a director, officer, consultant, advisor, manager, member or partner of any enterprise in which the Fund has or had a financial interest, including issuers of Portfolio Investments; provided that the Partnership may, but shall not be required to, indemnify a Covered Person with respect to any matter as to which there has been a Final Adjudication that such Covered Person’s acts or its failure to act (i) constituted a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing, or (ii) were of a nature that makes indemnification by the Fund unavailable. The right to indemnification granted by this Section 5.7 shall be in addition to any rights to which a Covered Person may otherwise be entitled and shall inure to the benefit of the successors by operation of law or valid assigns of such Covered Person. The Partnership shall pay the expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, investigation or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, investigation or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the Covered Person to repay such payment if there shall be a Final Adjudication that it is not entitled to indemnification as provided herein. In any suit brought by the Covered Person to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder it shall be a defense that the Covered Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section 5.7, and in any suit in the name of the Partnership to recover expenses advanced pursuant to the terms of an undertaking the Partnership shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon Final Adjudication that the Covered Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section 5.7. In any such suit brought to enforce a right to indemnification or to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified, or to an advancement of expenses, shall be on the Partnership (or any Limited Partner acting derivatively or otherwise on behalf of the Partnership or the Limited Partners). The General Partner may not satisfy any right of indemnity or reimbursement granted in this Section 5.7 or to which it may be otherwise entitled except out of the assets of the Partnership (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds and rights pursuant to indemnification agreements), and no Partner shall be personally liable with respect to any such claim for indemnity or reimbursement. The General Partner may enter into appropriate indemnification agreements and/or arrangements reflective of the provisions of this Section 5 and obtain appropriate insurance coverage on behalf and at the expense of the Partnership to secure the Partnership’s indemnification obligations hereunder and may enter into appropriate indemnification agreements and/or arrangements reflective of the provisions of this Section 5. Each Covered Person shall be deemed a third party beneficiary (to the extent not a direct party hereto) to this Agreement and, in particular, the provisions of this Section 5, and shall be entitled to the benefit of the indemnity granted to the Partnership by the Fund pursuant to the terms of the Fund LP Agreement.

(c) To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or the Partners, the Covered Person 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 of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity to the Partnership or the Partners, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or otherwise applicable provision of law or equity, to the maximum extent permitted by the Act, a Covered Person shall owe no duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Partnership or the Partners other than those specifically set forth herein; provided that a Covered Person shall have the duty to act in accordance with the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(d) Each of the Covered Persons may consult with legal counsel, accountants and other experts selected by it and any act or omission suffered or taken by it on behalf of the Partnership or in furtherance of the interests of the Partnership or the Fund in good faith in reliance upon and in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or other experts shall create a rebuttable presumption of the good faith and due care of such Covered Person with respect to such act or omission.

6. ADMISSIONS, TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS

6.1 Admission of Additional Limited Partners; Effect on Points

The General Partner may, in its absolute discretion and at any time admit as an additional Limited Partner any Person who has agreed to be bound by this Agreement, and the Points Committee may, subject to clause 7.1(b), (i) assign Points and issue FC Shares to such Person and/or (ii) increase or decrease the Points of any existing Partner. Each additional Limited Partner shall execute either a deed of adherence to this Agreement or a separate instrument evidencing, to the satisfaction of the General Partner, such Limited Partner’s intent to become a Limited Partner and be bound by this Agreement and shall be admitted as a Limited Partner upon such execution. In connection with such admission or increase in Points of any Partner, the Points of the other Partners shall be reduced in an amount and proportion determined by the Points Committee in its sole and absolute discretion but subject always to the provisions of Section 7.3(c).

6.2 Admission of Additional General Partner and Transfer

(c) The General Partner may admit one or more additional general partners at any time without the consent of any Limited Partner.

(d) The General Partner may Transfer its general partner interest in the Partnership to any other Person, without the consent of any Limited Partner.

6.3 Transfer of Interests of Limited Partners

(e) No Transfer of any Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be valid or effective, and no transferee shall become a substituted Limited Partner, unless the prior written consent of the General Partner has been obtained, which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its discretion. In the event of any Transfer, all of the conditions of the remainder of this Section 6.3 must also be satisfied.

(f) A Limited Partner requesting approval of a Transfer, or such Partner’s legal representative, shall give the General Partner reasonable notice before the proposed effective date of any requested Transfer, and shall provide sufficient information to allow legal counsel acting for the Partnership to make the determination that the proposed Transfer will not:

(i) require registration of the Partnership or any interest therein under any securities or commodities laws of any jurisdiction;

(ii) result in a termination of the Partnership under section 708(b)(l)(B) of the Code or jeopardize the status of the Partnership as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes; or

(iii) violate, or cause the Partnership, the Fund, the General Partner or any Limited Partner to violate, any applicable law, rule or regulation of any jurisdiction.

Such notice must be supported by proof of legal authority and a valid instrument of assignment acceptable to the General Partner.

(g) A permitted transferee shall be entitled to the allocations and distributions attributable to the interest in the Partnership transferred to such transferee and to Transfer such interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that such transferee shall not be entitled to the other rights of a Limited Partner as a result of such transfer until it becomes a substituted Limited Partner. No transferee may become a substituted Limited Partner except with the prior written consent of the General Partner (which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its discretion). Such transferee shall be admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner upon execution of a counterpart of this Agreement or such other instrument evidencing, to the satisfaction of the General Partner, such Limited Partner’s intent to become a Limited Partner. Notwithstanding the above, the Partnership and the General Partner shall incur no liability for allocations and distributions made in good faith to the transferring Limited Partner until a written instrument of Transfer has been received and accepted by the General Partner and recorded on the books of the Partnership and the effective date of the Transfer has passed.

(h) Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any successor or transferee of any Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership shall be bound by the provisions hereof. Prior to recognizing any Transfer in accordance with this Section 6.3, the General Partner may require the transferee to make certain representations and warranties to the Partnership and the Partners and to accept, adopt and approve in writing all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(i) In the event of a Transfer or in the event of a distribution of assets of the Partnership to any Partner, the Partnership, at the direction of the General Partner, may, but shall not be required to, file an election under section 754 of the Code and in accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations, to cause the basis of the Partnership’s assets to be adjusted as provided by section 734 or section 743 of the Code.

(j) The Partnership shall maintain books for the purpose of registering the transfer of interests in the Partnership. No transfer of an interest in the Partnership shall be effective until the transfer of such interest is registered upon books maintained for that purpose by or on behalf of the Partnership.

6.4 Withdrawal of Partners

A Partner in the Partnership may not withdraw from the Partnership prior to its dissolution. For the avoidance of doubt, any Limited Partner who transfers to a Related Party such Limited Partner’s entire remaining entitlement to allocations and distributions shall remain a Limited Partner, notwithstanding the admission of the transferee Related Party as a Limited Partner, for as long as the transferee Related Party remains a Limited Partner.

6.5 Pledges

(c) A Limited Partner shall not pledge or grant a security interest in such Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership unless the prior written consent of the General Partner has been obtained (which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner).

(d) Any limited partner interest in the Partnership may be confirmed by a certificate of limited partnership interest issued by the Partnership in such form as the General Partner may approve. Every certificate representing a limited partner interest in the Partnership shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:

“THE TRANSFER OR PLEDGE OF THE PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS REFERENCED IN THIS CERTIFICATE MAY ONLY OCCUR IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT, DATED 2010, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED OR RESTATED FROM TIME TO TIME AND AS MAY BE PRESCRIBED UNDER THE EXEMPTED LIMITED PARTNERSHIP LAW (AS AMENDED).”

(e) The Partnership shall maintain books for the purpose of registering the Transfer of limited partner interests in the Partnership. In connection with a Transfer in accordance with this Agreement of any limited partner interests in the Partnership, the endorsed certificate(s) evidencing such interest shall be delivered to the Partnership for cancellation, and the Partnership shall thereupon issue a new certificate to the transferee evidencing the interest that was transferred and, if applicable, the Partnership shall issue a new certificate to the transferor evidencing any interest registered in the name of the transferor that was not transferred.

7. POINTS

7.1 Allocation of Points

(e) A “Point” means a 1/x share of Operating Profit or Operating Loss, where x equals the aggregate number of Points assigned or available for assignment at the relevant time. The aggregate number of Points assigned or available for assignment to all Partners shall be 2,000.

(f) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Points Committee shall be responsible for the allocation of Points from time to time to the Limited Partners, provided that the Points Committee shall not, at any time, be permitted to allocate more than … Points. At each such time of allocation, all Points available for allocation shall be so allocated to the Limited Partners by the Points Committee; provided that the allocation of Points to any Limited Partner who is invited to become a limited partner of EPF Co-Investors after the date hereof shall not become effective until the effective date of the acceptance by EPF Co-Investors of a capital commitment from such Limited Partner (or his Related Party, as applicable) in a mutually agreed amount. Points allocated to Limited Partners may not be reduced except as set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 7.3. Any Points not specifically allocated to Limited Partners shall be for the benefit of APH.

(g) The General Partner shall maintain on the books and records of the Partnership a record of the number of Points allocated to each Limited Partner and shall give notice to each Limited Partner of the number of such Limited Partner’s Points upon admission to the Partnership of such Limited Partner and as soon as reasonably practicable upon any change in such Limited Partner’s Points.

7.2 Retirement of Partners

(k) A Limited Partner shall become a Retired Partner upon:

(i) delivery to such Limited Partner of a notice by the General Partner declaring such Limited Partner to be a Retired Partner;

(ii) a date specified in a notice delivered by such Limited Partner to the General Partner stating that such Limited Partner elects to become a Retired Partner, which date shall not be less than 60 days after the General Partner’s receipt of such notice; or

(iii) the death of the Limited Partner, whereupon the estate of the deceased Limited Partner shall be treated as a Retired Partner in the place of the deceased Limited Partner, or the Permanent Disability of the Limited Partner.

x

(l) The notice declaring any Limited Partner to be a Retired Partner shall specify whether such Limited Partner is being declared a Retired Partner for Cause or a Retired Partner other than for Cause. Retirement by reason of death or Permanent Disability shall constitute retirement other than for Cause. A written notice of retirement given by a Limited Partner shall be deemed to constitute a declaration that such Limited Partner is a Retired Partner for Cause.

(m) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the General Partner to treat Retired Partners alike, and the exercise of any power or discretion by the General Partner in the case of any one such Retired Partner shall not create any obligation on the part of the General Partner to take any similar action in the case of any other such Retired Partner, it being understood that any power or discretion conferred upon the General Partner shall be treated as having been so conferred as to each such Retired Partner separately.

7.3 Effect of Retirement on Points

(d) The Points of any Limited Partner who becomes a Retired Partner for Cause shall be reduced automatically to zero and the points of any Limited Partner who becomes a Retired Partner other than for Cause shall be reduced automatically to an amount equal to such Limited Partner’s Vested Points as of the date such Limited Partner became a Retired Partner. Any such reduction shall be effective as of the date such Limited Partner became a Retired Partner or such subsequent date as may be determined by the Points Committee; provided that the Points Committee may agree to a lesser reduction (or to no reduction) of the Points of any such Limited Partner who becomes a Retired Partner.

(e) The Points Committee shall determine the manner of apportioning any Points that become available for reallocation pursuant to Section 7.3(a) as a result of any Partner becoming a Retired Partner.

(f) Except as set out in Section 7.3(a), the Points of any Limited Partner who becomes a Retired Partner shall not be reduced without the consent of such Limited Partner.

7.4 Points as Profits Interests

(f) Except to the extent not permitted by law, the Partnership and each Limited Partner agree to treat Points as “profits interests” within the meaning of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure (“Rev. Proc”). 93-27, 1993-2 C.B. 343. Except to the extent not permitted by law, in accordance with Rev. Proc. 2001-43, 2001-2 C.B. 191, the Partnership shall treat each Limited Partner as the holder of Points from the issue date of such Points, and shall file its Partnership tax return, and issue appropriate Schedules K-1 to such

xi

Limited Partner, allocating to such Limited Partner its distributive share of all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit associated with such Points and each such Limited Partner agrees to take into account such distributive share in computing such Limited Partner’s U.S. federal income tax liability for the entire period during which such Limited Partner holds such Points. Except as required pursuant to a “Determination” as defined in section 1313(a) of the Code, the Partnership and each Limited Partner agree not to claim a deduction (as wages, compensation or otherwise) for the fair market value of any Points issued to a Limited Partner at the time of issuance of the Points. The undertakings contained in this Section 7.4(a) shall be construed in accordance with section 4 of Rev. Proc. 2001-43. Except to the extent not permitted by law, the provisions of this Section 7.4(a) shall apply regardless of whether the Limited Partner files an election pursuant to section 83(b) of the Code.

(g) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, the General Partner shall have the discretion to vary the allocations of Profit and Loss and the distributions pursuant to this Agreement to the extent necessary to ensure that the issuance of Points to a Limited Partner does not result, in the General Partner’s discretion, in a taxable capital shift (unless the General Partner otherwise intends) to such Limited Partner, including by treating as additional Profit or Loss for the taxable period and by allocating such Profit and Loss to the Limited Partners other than the Limited Partner receiving the Points, any unrealized appreciation or deprecation in the Partnership’s assets as of the time the Points are issued.

8. DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

8.1 Dissolution and Liquidation of Partnership

(n) Upon commencement of the winding up of the Partnership pursuant to section 2.4 of this Agreement (if applicable), the General Partner shall liquidate the business and administrative affairs of the Partnership pursuant to section 15(1) of the Act (as applicable), except that, if the General Partner is unable to perform this function, a liquidator may be elected by a majority in interest (determined by Points) of Limited Partners and upon such election such liquidator shall liquidate the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement and the Act and section 15(2) of the Act shall not apply to this Agreement. FC Profit and FC Loss, Operating Profit and Operating Loss during the Fiscal Years that include the period of liquidation shall be allocated pursuant to Section 3.4. The proceeds from liquidation shall be distributed in the following manner:

(i) first, the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership including the expenses of liquidation (including legal and accounting expenses incurred in connection therewith), up to and including the date that distribution of the Partnership’s assets to the Partners has been completed, shall be satisfied (whether by payment or by making reasonable provision for payment thereof); and

(ii) thereafter, the Partners shall be paid amounts pro rata in accordance with and up to the positive balances of their respective Capital Accounts, as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.

(o) Anything in this Section 8.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, the General Partner or liquidator may distribute ratably in kind rather than in cash, upon winding up, any assets of the Partnership in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.l(a); provided that if any in kind distribution is to be made, the assets distributed in kind shall be valued as of the actual date of their distribution and charged as so valued and distributed against amounts to be paid under Section 8.l(a).

The Partnership shall be dissolved upon the filing of a statement with the Registrar of Exempted Limited Partnerships pursuant to section 15(3) of the Act.

xii

9. POINTS COMMITTEE

9.1 Points Committee

(g) The General Partner shall constitute a sub-committee known as the “Points Committee” for the purposes set out in this Agreement. The members of the Points Committee shall be Xxxxx Xxxxxx and…. The members of the Points Committee shall be entitled to appoint additional persons as members of the Points Committee, to remove any member of the Points Committee and to fill any vacancy in their number at any time.

(h) Any action or decision of the Points Committee shall be valid if approved either at a meeting of its members or by written consent of a majority of the members for the time being. In the event that the members of the Points Committee are unable to agree a majority decision in respect of any decision to be made by the Points Committee, then any such decision may then be taken by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. All members shall be entitled to reasonable notice of any proposed action or decision and any member shall be entitled to convene a meeting by giving reasonable notice to the other members.

(i) Any two members attending in person or by telephone conference facility shall constitute a quorum of the Points Committee and, at a meeting attended by such a quorum, any action or decision shall be valid if approved by a majority of the members there present.

(j) Reference in this Agreement to the Points Committee taking an action as a result of a Limited Partner becoming a Retired Partner shall not oblige the Points Committee to take such action immediately once such person becomes a Retired Partner and, unless otherwise expressly stated herein, the Points Committee may exercise any discretion it has under this Agreement any time after such discretion becomes available to it.

10. GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1 Amendment of this Agreement

(h) The General Partner may amend this Agreement at any time, in whole or in part, without the consent of any other Partner; provided that any amendment which would increase the obligation of any Partner to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership or adversely affect such Partner’s right to withdraw voluntarily from the Partnership shall not be made unless such Partner has, at the General Partner’s election, (i) consented thereto, or (ii) been provided with an opportunity to withdraw from the Partnership as of a date determined by the General Partner that is prior to the effective date of the amendment.

(ii) shall survive any Transfer by a Limited Partner of the whole or any portion of its interest in the Partnership, except that, where the transferee thereof has been approved by the General Partner for admission to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner, this power of attorney given by the transferor shall survive such Transfer for the sole purpose of enabling the General Partner to execute, acknowledge and file any instrument necessary to effect such substitution.
