(d) The name of each Limited Partner and the type and number of Units issued to such Limited Partner shall be set forth in the books and records of the Partnership. The names, addresses and capital contributions of each of the Partners shall be set forth in the books and records of the Partnership.

Section 3.02 Supplementary Agreements. The General Partner may enter into one or more supplemental written agreements (including any Joinder Agreements or Executive Agreements) with any Limited Partner (a “Supplementary Agreement”, a form of which is attached hereto as Appendix A) (i) specifying the type and number of Units initially issued to such Limited Partner and (ii) waiving, modifying or supplementing the rights or obligations of such Limited Partner under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the Partnership. Each of the Partners acknowledges and agrees that such Supplementary Agreements may provide for other rights, benefits or obligations to the Limited Partners that are parties thereto than otherwise set forth herein (including, without limitation, with respect to allocations and distributions to such Limited Partners, other compensation to such Limited Partners, indemnification and Restrictive Covenants). The General Partner may enter into more than one (1) Supplementary Agreement with a Limited Partner. For the avoidance of doubt, references herein to the Supplementary Agreement of a Limited Partner shall include all Supplementary Agreements into which the Partnership enters into with such Limited Partner. In the event of any dispute between a Limited Partner and the Partnership regarding a conflict between the terms of any such Limited Partner’s Supplementary Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of such Limited Partner’s Supplementary Agreement shall control. A Supplementary Agreement does not modify, amend, limit or supersede any provision of this Agreement, except as to matters expressly addressed in such Supplementary Agreement, and is to be construed narrowly with respect to such matters.

Section 3.03 Representations. Each Limited Partner represents, warrants and covenants to the Partnership as follows:

(a) Capacity. Such Limited Partner has the full capacity, power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to subscribe for and purchase Units as a partner of the Partnership. Such Limited Partner has duly executed and delivered this Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Limited Partner, enforceable against such Partner in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

(b) Compliance with Laws and Other Agreements. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the performance of such Limited Partner’s obligations hereunder (subject to the terms of Section 3.02 above) will not conflict with, or result in any violation of or default under, any provision of any agreement (including any restrictive covenant such as a non-compete agreement) or other instrument to which such Limited Partner is a party or by which such Limited Partner or any of such Limited Partner’s assets are bound, or any judgment, decree, statute, order, rule or regulation applicable to such Limited Partner or such Limited Partner’s assets.

(c) Access to Information. Such Limited Partner has carefully reviewed this Agreement. Such Limited Partner has been provided an opportunity to ask

questions of, and such Limited Partner has received answers thereto satisfactory to such Limited Partner from, the Partnership and its representatives regarding such documents and the terms and conditions of the offering of Units, and such Limited Partner has obtained all additional information requested by such Limited Partner of the Partnership and its representatives.

(d) Evaluation of and Ability to Bear Risks. Such Limited Partner has such knowledge and experience in financial affairs that such Limited Partner is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing Units, and such Limited Partner has not relied in connection with this investment upon any representations, warranties or agreements other than those set forth in this Agreement and, in the case of IFMI, those set forth in the Contribution Agreement. Such Limited Partner’s financial situation is such that such Limited Partner can afford to bear the economic risk of holding Units for an indefinite period of time, and such Limited Partner can afford to suffer the complete loss of such Partner’s investment in such Units.

(e) Investment Purpose. Such Limited Partner is acquiring Units pursuant to this Agreement for such Limited Partner’s own account for investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of all or any part of such Units. Such Limited Partner will not, directly or indirectly, Transfer all or any part of such Units (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of all or any part of such Units) except in accordance with the registration provisions of the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration provisions, with any applicable state or non-U.S. securities laws, and with the terms of this Agreement. Such Limited Partner understands that such Limited Partner must bear the economic risk of an investment in Units for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, the offering and sale of such Units have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, such Units cannot be sold other than through a privately negotiated transaction unless it is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Such Limited Partner also understands that sales or Transfers of such Units are further restricted by the provisions of this Agreement, and may be restricted by other applicable securities laws.

Section 3.04 Liability of the Partners.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Partnership, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Partnership, and a Limited Partner shall not be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Partnership solely by reason of being a Limited Partner.

(b) The General Partner shall have unlimited liability for the repayment and discharge of all debts and obligations of the Partnership to the extent required under the Act. Neither the General Partner nor any of its Affiliates (other than the Partnership), nor any Limited Partner shall be liable for the return of the capital contributions of any Limited Partner, and each Limited Partner hereby waives any and all claims that it may have against the General Partner or any Affiliate thereof (other than the Partnership) and the other Limited Partners in this regard.

Section 3.05 Limited Rights of Limited Partners. The following provisions shall apply with respect to each Limited Partner:

(a) The rights of a Limited Partner shall be limited solely to (i) such Limited Partner’s right to receive distributions and allocations in respect of such Limited Partner’s Units and Capital Account as set forth in this Agreement and (ii) such other rights as are otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, in a Limited Partner’s Supplementary Agreement and under the Act; and

(b) No Limited Partner, acting in such Partner’s capacity as a Limited Partner shall (i) be deemed to have any fiduciary or other duties to any Limited Partner other than the duty to act in good faith or (ii) be obligated to do or perform any act or thing in connection with the Business or the Partnership not expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Provided that the applicable action or decision set forth below has been approved in accordance with Article IV, each of the Partners hereby appoints the General Partner, or any Partners then acting as the general partner of the Partnership, with power of substitution as such Limited Partner’s true and lawful representative and attorney-in-fact, in such Limited Partner’s name, place and stead to make, execute, sign, acknowledge, swear to and file:

(a) any and all instruments, certificates and other documents which may be deemed necessary or desirable to effect the winding-up and termination of the Partnership; and

(b) any business certificate, fictitious name certificate, amendment thereto, or other instrument or document of any kind necessary or desirable to accomplish the business, purpose and objectives of the Partnership, or required by any applicable federal, state or local law.

The power of attorney hereby granted by each of the Partners is coupled with an interest, is irrevocable, and shall survive, and shall not be affected by, the subsequent death, disability, incapacity, adjudication of incompetency, termination, bankruptcy or insolvency of such Partner; provided, however, that such power of attorney shall terminate upon the substitution of another Partner for all such Partner’s Units or upon the complete withdrawal of such Partner as a partner of the Partnership.

Section 3.07 Bankruptcy, Dissolution, Removal, Withdrawal, Admission or Resignation of a Partner. The bankruptcy, dissolution, removal, admission, withdrawal or resignation of a Partner shall not in and of itself cause a dissolution or termination of the Partnership.

Section 3.08 Associated Partners. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by the General Partner: (i) an Associated Partner shall be deemed to take the same actions and make the same consents and elections with respect to its Units as its related Partner, including, without limitation, any election to withdraw from the Partnership; and (ii) each Associated Partner shall have the same obligations, including, without limitation, the Restrictive Covenants, and be subject to the same terms as its related Partner as set forth in this Agreement as well as in the related Partner’s Supplementary Agreement.

(c) After the repurchase of a Limited Partner’s Units, such Limited Partner shall not be entitled to any allocation of Net Income or Net Losses with respect to Profit Units, or to Sale Proceeds, with respect to Equity Units, as applicable.

Section 5.03 Issuance of Senior Securities. Subject to Section 4.09 of the Operating Agreement and Section 10.03 hereof, the General Partner may issue one or more classes of Units that have priority over any other Units then in issue, either as to the return of the amount of a Partner’s capital or as to any allocation of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Partnership.

Section 5.04 Guaranteed Payments. Subject to Section 13.03, at the discretion of the General Partner, or as provided in a Supplementary Agreement or separate written agreement, the Partnership may make a guaranteed payment to any Partner who is also an employee of the Company or the Partnership.

Section 5.05 Loans.

(a) Without the consent of the General Partner and except as provided in Section 5.05(b), the Partnership shall not make loans to any Partner.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, after the later of (x) September 30, 2011 or (y) the earlier of (1) the Final Closing (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) or March 31, 2012, each Partner shall be entitled to borrow from the Partnership up to 30% of the balance of their Capital Account; provided, however, that (i) such borrowing Partner shall provide at least 45 days prior notice of the intent to exercise this borrowing option, (ii) a determination by the General Partner shall be made that such loan would not cause material harm to the Company or the Partnership, (iii) any such loan would have a maximum term of 1 year and would accrue at an interest rate per annum equal to ten percent (10%), and (iv) any such loan would be subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and compliance with applicable law. All loans made to Partners pursuant to this Section 5.05 shall (i) be secured by a first priority security interest in such Partner’s Capital Account and (ii) while the loan is outstanding, reduce the amount of such Partner’s Profit Units (for purposes of Net Income allocations or distributions) in proportion to the amount of such Partner’s Capital Account that was borrowed against. The General Partner shall have the right to cause any Partner receiving a loan to execute and deliver any documentation the General Partner reasonably deems necessary to evidence and secure such loan. Each Partner shall have the ability to exercise the borrowing option provided in this Section 5.05(b) once in any two (2) year period.

(c) Without the consent of the General Partner, no Partner shall make loans or advance money to the Partnership. Subject to Section 13.03 of the Operating Agreement, if any Partner makes any loan to the Partnership or advances money on behalf of the Partnership, the amount of any such loan or advance shall not be treated as a capital contribution

to the Partnership, but shall be a debt due from the Partnership. Subject to Section 13.03 of the Operating Agreement, the amount of any such loan or advance by a lending Partner shall be repayable by the Partnership and shall bear interest on the terms and at the rate agreed between the Partnership and the lending Partner.

(d) No Partner shall be obligated to make any loan or advance to the Partnership absent an agreement between the Partner and the Partnership to make a loan or advance to the Partnership.

ARTICLE VI

Capital Accounts of Partners and Operation Thereof

Section 6.01 Capital Accounts.

(a) There shall be established for each Partner on the books of the Partnership a Capital Account, which shall be maintained and adjusted as provided in this Article VI. The Capital Account of a Partner shall be credited with (x) the amount of all cash contributed by such Partner for such Partner’s Units, (y) the fair value of any property contributed by such Partner to the Partnership (net of any liabilities secured by such property that the Partnership is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code) for such Partner’s Units, and (z) the amount of repayment, when repaid, of any loan made to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.05(b) hereof. The Capital Account of a Partner shall be credited with any amount credited to such Capital Account pursuant to this Article VI, and debited by (i) the amounts debited to such Capital Account in accordance with this Article VI, (ii) the amount of any cash distributed to such Partner from such Capital Account in accordance with Article VII or in connection with the repurchase of Units, (iii) the fair value of any asset distributed in kind to such Partner from such Capital Account pursuant to Article VII (net of any liabilities secured by such asset that such Partner is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code) or in connection with the repurchase of Units and (iv) the amount of any loan made to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.05(b) hereof. The Capital Account of each Partner also shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect any other adjustment required pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1 or 1.704-2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall affect the terms of Article II of the Contribution Agreement.

(i) The General Partner may establish for any Partner a sub-capital account of any Capital Account (each, a “Sub-Capital Account”) to account for Net Income and Net Loss from any Source, or for any other purpose. A Sub-Capital Account generally shall be maintained and adjusted in the same manner as a Capital Account, as provided in this Agreement.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), the General Partner may cause the Capital Accounts of the Partners to be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the Partnership’s assets at such time (as determined by the General Partner) in accordance with such Regulation. In such event, income, gain, loss and deductions realized thereafter shall be computed in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).

Section 6.02 General Allocations. As of the close of business on the last day of the relevant Accounting Period, subject to Section 6.03 hereof, allocations to the Partners shall be made as follows:

(a) Net Income and Net Loss, other than Capital Net Income and Capital Net Loss, shall be credited or debited, as applicable, to the Capital Accounts of the Partners pro rata in proportion to such Partners’ Profit Units (taking into account the reduction of any Partner’s outstanding Profit Units pursuant to a loan made by the Company to such Partner pursuant Section 5.05(b) hereof) as of the last day of the applicable Accounting Period for which such Net Income was earned or such Net Loss was determined; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Net Income and Net Loss, other than Capital Net Income and Capital Net Loss, attributable to a specific Source for such Accounting Period shall be credited or debited, as applicable, to the Capital Accounts or Sub-Capital Accounts, as applicable, of the Partners holding Profit Units issued with respect to such Source pro rata in proportion to such Profit Units.

(b)(i) Any Capital Net Income shall be credited to the Capital Accounts of the Partners as follows:

(A) any Capital Net Income attributable to the sale of one hundred percent (100%) of the Partnership’s assets shall be allocated with respect to each increment of Threshold Value pro rata among the Capital Accounts of the Partners entitled to participate in such increment of Threshold Value in proportion to such Partners’ Equity Units; and

(B) any Capital Net Income attributable to a sale of less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Partnership’s assets shall be allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Partners pursuant to Section 6.02(b)(i)(A); provided, however, that for the purpose of this Section 6.02(b)(i)(B), each Threshold Value that has been determined up to that time shall be multiplied by the percentage of the Partnership’s assets being sold.

(ii) Any Capital Net Loss shall be allocated among the Capital Accounts of the Partners pro rata in proportion to such Partners’ Equity Units.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any taxes that are paid by the Partnership or any entity in which the Partnership owns any direct or indirect interest with respect to any item of Net Income (or, otherwise, any income or gain) allocable, or otherwise attributable to, one or more Partners (including on account of a Partner’s resident or non-resident status) shall be credited against and reduce (without duplication) the amounts otherwise distributable or payable to such Partner. For the avoidance of doubt, any entity-level tax of the Partnership or any entity in which the Partnership owns any direct or indirect interest such as the New York City Unincorporated Business Tax or the employer portion of the Medicare tax shall be treated as a Partnership expense and allocated pro rata among the Partners. If any Partner receives a refund with respect to such entity-level taxes that should have been paid to the Partnership or any entity in which the Partnership owns any direct or indirect interest, such Partner shall contribute such refund to the Partnership without the receipt of any Units or other interest in the Partnership or any entity in which the Partnership owns any direct or indirect interest.

Section 6.03 Special Allocations.

(a) Section 704(b) Allocation Limitations. Notwithstanding Section 6.02, special allocations of income and gain or specific items of income or gain may be specially allocated for any Fiscal Year (or other period) as follows:

(i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. The General Partner shall allocate items of income and gain among the Partners at such times and in such amounts as necessary to satisfy the minimum gain chargeback requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4).

(ii) Qualified Income Offset. The General Partner shall specially allocate items of income and gain when and to the extent required to satisfy the “qualified income offset” requirement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

(iii) Nonrecourse Deductions. The General Partner shall allocate any “nonrecourse deductions,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1), of the Partnership among the Partners in a manner which complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(e).

(iv) Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.

(A) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, losses (or items of deduction as computed for book purposes) shall not be allocated to a Limited Partner to the extent that such Partner has or would have, as a result of such allocation, an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. As used herein, a Limited Partner’s “Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” shall mean and refer to such Limited Partner’s Capital Account, increased by any amounts which such Limited Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), and reduced by any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6). Any loss (or items of deduction as computed for book purposes) which otherwise would be allocated to a Limited Partner, but which cannot be allocated to such Limited Partner because of the application of the immediately preceding sentence, shall instead be allocated to the other Partners in accordance with their respective Capital Account balances, subject to the limitation imposed by the immediately preceding sentence. If no Limited Partner would receive such an allocation without creating an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, all such losses or items shall be allocated to the General Partner.

(B) Notwithstanding Section 6.02, Net Income or items thereof otherwise allocable to a Limited Partner who was not eligible to be allocated losses or deductions under clause (A) above, shall first be allocated 100% to the Partners in the amount necessary to reverse, in reverse chronological order, on a cumulative basis and without duplication, any amounts allocated to such Partners pursuant to the last two sentences of clause (A), such allocations to be made pro rata based on the amounts previously allocated to such Partners pursuant to the last two sentences of clause (A).

(b) Adjustment of Allocations. In the event that the General Partner reasonably determines that the allocations otherwise required pursuant to Section 6.02 or 6.03(a) would not properly reflect the economic arrangement of the Partners or would otherwise cause any inequitable or onerous result for any Partner, then, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the General Partner may adjust such allocations in such manner as the General Partner reasonably determines to be required to prevent such result.

Section 6.04 Liabilities. Liabilities shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis; provided, however, that the General Partner may provide reserves or holdback amounts from distributions for estimated accrued expenses, liabilities or contingencies, whether or not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; provided that, the establishment of any reserves or holdback amounts that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles shall require unanimous approval of the Board of Managers of the Company.

Section 6.05 Goodwill. Except as required by generally accepted accounting principles, no value shall be placed on the name or goodwill of the Partnership, except as determined pursuant to Sections 6.02(b), 7.02(b) and 10.01.

Section 6.06 Allocation of Income and Loss for Tax Purposes. The Partnership’s ordinary income and losses, capital gains and losses and other items as determined for federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss or deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated to the Partners in the same proportions as the corresponding “book” items are allocated pursuant to Sections 6.02 and 6.03. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, federal income tax items relating to any Section 704(c) Property shall be allocated among the Partners pursuant to the principles of Section 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and (g), 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) and 1.704-3(e), to take into account the difference between the fair value and the tax basis of such Section 704(c) Property, as of the date of its revaluation pursuant to Section 6.01(b) of this Agreement or its contribution to the Partnership. Items described in this Section 6.06 shall neither be credited nor charged to the Partners’ Capital Accounts.

Section 6.07 Determination by the General Partner of Certain Matters. All matters concerning: (i) valuations; (ii) the determination and calculation, and the allocation to and among the Partners, of taxable income, deductions, credits, Net Income, Net Losses and other items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deductions and credits (including taxes thereon); (iii) tax accounting procedures and methods; and (iv) the operation of Article VI hereof, shall all be determined by the General Partner.

Section 6.08 Adjustments by the General Partner to Take Account of Certain Events. In the event that a Partner is admitted to, or withdraws from, the Partnership other than at the end of the Partnership’s Fiscal Year, allocations among the Partners and accounting procedures shall be determined by the General Partner.

ARTICLE VII

Section 7.01 Repurchase of Units. Subject to Section 4.09 of the Operating Agreement, upon the consent of the General Partner and the consent of the affected Individual Partner, the Partnership may repurchase the Units of any Individual Partner at any time. No Limited Partner shall have the right to have the Partnership repurchase such Limited Partner’s Units or to withdraw capital from the Partnership, except in connection with such Limited Partner’s withdrawal from the Partnership in accordance with Article VIII. The price at which the Partnership shall repurchase Units from a Partner shall be the Unit Price.

Section 7.02 Distributions. Subject to Section 4.09 of the Operating Agreement, distributions shall be made to each Partner at the times and in the amounts determined by the General Partner, and if and when declared by the General Partner, shall be made as follows:

(a) Net Income.

(i) Distributions of Net Income (other than Capital Net Income) shall be made to the Partners pro rata in proportion to such Partners’ Profit Units (taking into account the reduction of any Partner’s outstanding Profit Units pursuant to a loan made by the Company to such Partner pursuant Section 5.05(b) hereof); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Net Income (other than Capital Net Income) attributable to a specific Source shall be distributed to the Partners holding Profit Units issued with respect to such Source pro rata in proportion to such Profit Units.

(b) Sale Proceeds.

(i) Proceeds of Sale of Assets (Capital Event–Full). Asset Sale Proceeds distributed in connection with a sale or other disposition of one hundred percent (100%) of the Partnership’s assets that does not lead to a liquidation of the Partnership shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with, and in proportion to, their respective Equity Units. Such distribution shall be made, with respect to each increment of Threshold Value, pro rata among the Partners entitled to participate in such increment of Threshold Value in accordance with the Partners’ Equity Units.

(ii) Proceeds of Sale of Assets (Capital Event–Partial). Asset Sale Proceeds attributable to a sale of less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Partnership’s assets shall be distributed to the Partners pursuant to Section 7.02(b)(i); provided, however, that for the purpose of this Section 7.02(b)(ii), each of the Threshold Values that have been determined up to that time shall be multiplied by the percentage of the Partnership’s assets being sold.

(c) Mandatory Distributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing and other than as provided for by the General Partner in accordance with Section 4.09(i) of the Operating Agreement, if there is Net Income, 50% of such Net Income shall be distributed (a “Mandatory Distribution”) to the Partners in accordance with, and in proportion to, their respective Profit Units or Equity Units, as applicable (but without duplication). The amount of any Mandatory

Distributions shall be determined by the General Partner at the end of each fiscal quarter; provided, however, that the net sum of the Mandatory Distributions, if any, for each fiscal quarter shall be distributed to the Partners within 45 days after the end of each fiscal year. In determining a Partner’s rights to distributions pursuant to Sections 7.02(a) and (b) (including by reason of the application of Section 11.04), distributions received by such Partner pursuant to this Section 7.02(c) shall be taken into account as if received pursuant to Sections 7.02(a) and (b) (including by reason of the application of Section 11.04).

(d) Intentionally omitted.

(e) Other Distributions. Subject to Section 4.09 of the Operating Agreement and Section 11.04, distributions of amounts not covered by Sections 7.02(a), 7.02(b), 7.02(c) or 7.02(f) shall be distributed to the Partners as determined by the General Partner.

(f) Distributions In Kind.

(i) At the discretion of the General Partner, the Partnership may distribute any assets in kind. If cash and property are to be distributed in kind simultaneously, the Partnership shall distribute such cash and property in kind in proportion to each Partner’s Profit Units and Equity Units.

(ii) For purposes of determining amounts distributable to the respective Partners under this Section 7.02, any property to be distributed in kind shall have the value assigned to such property by the General Partner, and the amount of Net Income or Net Loss that would have been realized had such assets been sold at their fair value shall be allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Partners pursuant to Sections 6.02 and 6.03 of this Agreement immediately prior to such distribution.

(g) Tax Withholding.

(i) The General Partner may withhold and pay over to the Internal Revenue Service (or any other relevant taxing authority) such amounts as the Partnership is required to withhold or pay over, pursuant to the Code or any other applicable law, on account of a Partner’s distributive share of the Partnership’s items of gross income, income or gain.

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, any taxes so withheld or paid over by the Partnership with respect to a Partner’s distributive share of the Partnership’s gross income, income or gain shall be deemed to be a distribution or payment to such Partner, reducing the amount otherwise distributable to such Partner in accordance with this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 11.04) and reducing the Capital Account of such Partner. If the amount of such taxes is greater than any such distributable amounts, then, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, such Partner and any successor to such Partner’s Units shall, as required by the Board upon the unanimous approval of the Managers, pay the amount of such excess to the Partnership, as a contribution to the capital of the Partnership.

(iii) The General Partner shall not be obligated to apply for or obtain a reduction of or exemption from withholding tax on behalf of any Partner that may be

eligible for such reduction or exemption. To the extent that a Partner claims to be entitled to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, a withholding tax pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty, or otherwise, the Partner shall furnish the General Partner with such information and forms as such Partner may be required to complete where necessary to comply with any and all laws and regulations governing the obligations of withholding tax agents. Each Partner represents and warrants that any such information and forms furnished by such Partner shall be true and accurate and agrees to indemnify the Partnership and each of the Partners from any and all damages, costs and expenses resulting from the filing of inaccurate or incomplete information or forms relating to such withholding taxes.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Supplementary Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement to the contrary, the General Partner may condition the Partnership’s issuance or grant of any vested or unvested Units or other interest in the Partnership to any Person on and upon such Person first (and may cause the Partnership to not so issue or grant any Units or interest in the Partnership until the following conditions are satisfied): (A) furnishing to the Partnership any certification, documentation and other information in connection with such issuance or grant; and (B) paying to the Partnership (or to any such one or more other Person(s) or the Internal Revenue Service or any other federal or any state, local and/or foreign tax, judicial or other governmental authority, agency, body or instrumentality), and/or making adequate provision for the payment to the Partnership of, any and all withholding, income and other taxes, all as (and in such amount that) the General Partner shall determine and require in its sole and absolute discretion.

Section 7.03 Limitations on Distributions and Repurchases of Units. Notwithstanding Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 8.02:

(a) Distributions and repurchases of Units are subject to the provision by the Partnership for (i) all Partnership liabilities in accordance with the Act and (ii) reserves or amounts held back in accordance with this Agreement;

(b) The unused portion of any reserve or amount held back shall be distributed, with interest as determined by the General Partner, after the General Partner has determined that the need therefor shall have ceased;

(d) Distributions to, and the repurchase of Units from, any Partner are subject to the application of any provision of this Agreement that may result in a Partner not actually receiving the full (or any) amount that the Partner would have otherwise been, in the absence of such provision, entitled to receive pursuant to such distribution or repurchase (such as deductions to repay loans to the Company and the Partnership’s right to offset liabilities or withhold distributions with respect to a Partner).

ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.01 Withdrawal.

(a) Voluntary Withdrawal. An Individual Partner may Voluntarily Withdraw (i) as of the end of any quarter upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to the General Partner, (ii) to the extent such Individual Partner is a Qualifying PrinceRidge Individual Partner as of the date hereof, and is or becomes a PrinceRidge Manager after the date hereof, upon any event or series of events that results in such person no longer being deemed a Qualifying PrinceRidge Individual Partner and subsequent to such event such person ceases to be a Member of the Board, and (iii)at any other time with the consent of the General Partner. So long as IFMI owns a majority of the outstanding Units, IFMI may Voluntarily Withdraw only with the unanimous consent of the Board. In the event that IFMI no longer owns a majority of the outstanding Units, (a) IFMI may Voluntarily Withdraw as of the end of any quarter upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to the General Partner, (b) at any other time with the unanimous consent of the Board, or (c) so long as there is no more than one (1) IFMI Manager, with the consent of the Board.

(b) Required Withdrawal. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner, upon written notice to an Individual Partner, may require such Individual Partner to withdraw as a partner of the Partnership at any time, for any reason. Except as otherwise determined by the General Partner, an Individual Partner shall be deemed to have requested to Voluntarily Withdraw upon such Individual Partner becoming an Inactive Partner.

(c) Required Sale. In the event that (i) any Limited Partner owning a majority of the then outstanding Units (or its parent or subsidiary) is indicted (and such indictment is not quashed within 90 days) for a criminal violation of any securities laws (including the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Act of 1934 or the Investment Advisers Act of 1940), and (ii) the Board of Managers of the Company (other than the Managers designated by such Limited Partner) reasonably determines that such indictment has had or would reasonably be expected to have a quantifiable material adverse effect on the Business, such Limited Partner shall be required within 150 days of receipt of such determination by the Board to sell a number of Units (if any) to a third-party such that such Limited Partner will own less than 50% of the outstanding Units. Approval of any sale pursuant to this Section 8.01(c) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(d) Withdrawal Pursuant to Termination and Separation Agreement.

(e) Withdrawal Date. The “Withdrawal Date” of a Limited Partner shall be the date on which all of the Limited Partner’s Units have been repurchased by the Partnership or the Limited Partner otherwise no longer holds any Units of the Partnership (e.g., in the case of a Transfer permitted in accordance with this Agreement).

Section 8.02 Repurchase of Units in Connection with Withdrawal.

(a) Subject to Section 4.09 of the Operating Agreement, in connection with the withdrawal of a Partner from the Partnership, the Partnership shall repurchase such Partner’s Units for the aggregate Unit Price with respect to such Partner’s Units; provided, that, except in the case of (x) a withdrawal pursuant to Sections 8.01(a)(ii) or 8.01(b) in connection with which the Partnership must effect within 45 days of such withdrawal such repurchase, or (y) a withdrawal pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(ii) or 8.01(b) where, after giving effect to such withdrawal no PrinceRidge Class A Partner would constitute a Qualifying PrinceRidge Individual Partner, in connection with which the Partnership must effect within 45 days of the later of (1) such withdrawal and (2) the date on which IFMI does not exercise its right to waive or ceases to waive the requirement in Section 4.03(b) of the Operating Agreement such repurchase from all then current PrinceRidge Class A Partners, the Partnership may effect such repurchase in one or more transactions at any time, but in no event before the repayment of any loan made by the Partnership to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.05 of this Agreement, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such repurchase no later than the end of the applicable anniversary of the date, as designated below, the Partner gave its notice or was required to withdraw (the “Notice Year”) and shall repurchase no less than the percentages, as designated below, of the Partner’s Units outstanding at the applicable anniversary dates (each, a “Target Minimum Repurchase Amount”) for the aggregate Unit Price with respect to the Units being repurchased on or before the applicable anniversary dates (each a “Target Repurchase Date”):

(A) Subject to the terms of any Supplementary Agreement, in the event of any withdrawal by any Partner prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the of execution of this Agreement and such Partner has not contributed additional capital to the Company, the following Target Minimum Repurchase Amounts and Target Repurchase Dates shall be used:

(i) the last day of the month in which the first anniversary of the date of the notice of withdrawal occurs, 33 1/3%;

(ii) the last day of the month in which the second anniversary of the date of the notice of withdrawal occurs, 50%; and

(iii) the last day of the month in which the third anniversary of the date of the notice of withdrawal occurs, 100%.

The aggregate Unit Price with respect to the Units being repurchased shall be paid no later than thirty (30) days after the effective date of each such repurchase.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, a Partner who has given its notice to withdraw or any Limited Partner who has been required to withdraw by the General Partner shall continue to participate in the Net Income, Net Losses and any Sale Proceeds during the time and to the extent its Units remain outstanding and have not been repurchased by the Partnership.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 8.02(a), in the event that IFMI permits a PrinceRidge Class A Partner that is no longer a Qualifying PrinceRidge Individual Partner to serve on the Board, then the Partnership shall not be required to effectuate the repurchase required by Section 8.02(a)(y) until 45 days after IFMI has revoked, in its sole discretion, its permission for a non-Qualifying PrinceRidge Individual Partner to serve on the Board, so long as such revocation was made in accordance with Section 4.03(b) of the Operating Agreement.

(d) Reference is made to Section 3.01 of the Termination and Separation Agreement, and for purposes of this Section 8.02(d), capitalized terms without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Contribution Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

Transfers of Units

Section 9.01 Transfers of Units.

(a) Except (i) as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, including with respect to Section 10.02 and Section 10.03, or as required pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, (ii) Transfers of Units by a Partner for tax or estate planning purposes, and (iii) a pledge as security by IFMI of its Units in connection with any financing arrangement

or guarantee in connection therewith (it being understood and agreed that any foreclosure or other Transfer in connection with such arrangements or guarantees shall not be permitted without the unanimous consent of the Board), no Limited Partner shall have the right, directly or indirectly, to Transfer all or any part of its Units without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld for any reason or for no reason. Any purported direct or indirect Transfer of all or any part of a Unit in contravention of this Section 9.01(a) shall be null and void and of no force and effect.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a Partner may generally Transfer its Units with the consent of the General Partner, only (i) in circumstances in which the tax basis of the Units in the hands of the transferee is determined, in whole or in part, by reference to its tax basis in the hands of the transferor, (ii) to members of the Partner’s immediate family (brothers, sisters, spouse, parents and children), or (iii) as a distribution from a qualified retirement plan or an individual retirement account. The General Partner may permit other Transfers under such other circumstances and conditions as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate; provided, however, that prior to any such Transfer, the General Partner shall consult with counsel to the Partnership to ensure that such Transfer will not cause the Partnership to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” taxable as a corporation.

Section 9.02 Involuntary Transfers; Right of First Refusal.

Each Limited Partner will be entitled to purchase all or part of such New Units at the same price and on the same terms as such New Units are proposed to be sold or issued by the Company pursuant to this Section 10.03.

(iii) at any time there are no Partners, unless the business of the Partnership is continued in accordance with the Act.

Section 11.03 Winding Up. Upon the dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner (or any duly designated representative) shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to liquidate all of the Partnership assets and wind up the affairs of the Partnership in an orderly manner; provided that if in the judgment of the General Partner (or such representative) an asset of the Partnership should not be liquidated, the General Partner (or such representative) shall allocate, on the basis of the value of any assets of the Partnership not sold or otherwise disposed of, any unrealized gain or loss based on such value to the Partners’ Capital Accounts as though the assets in question had been sold on the date of such allocation and, after giving effect to any such adjustment, distribute said assets in accordance with Article VII, subject to the priorities set forth in Article VII; provided further, that the General Partner (or such other representative) will attempt to liquidate sufficient Partnership assets to satisfy in cash (or make reasonable provision in cash for) the debts and liabilities referred to in Article VII.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, with respect to Pre-Closing Partnership Tax Audits, the General Partner (and only the General Partner) shall designate (and which designation shall be reflected on the Partnership’s annual federal information tax return) such Partner(s) or other Person(s) (which may include the General Partner) to serve as the “tax matters partner” of the Partnership and any Partnership Subsidiary pursuant to the Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Sections 301.6231(a)(1)-1 and 301.6231(a)(7)-2 and, further, the General Partner (and only the General Partner) shall designate such Partner(s) or other Person(s) (which may be or include the General Partner) to serve in the corresponding or similar position, status or capacity for state, local and/or as applicable, foreign tax purposes (any and all such Partner(s) and other Person(s) so designated by the General Partner, collectively, “Tax Matters Partner” ).

Each Partner shall fully cooperate with (including, without limitation, by promptly furnishing to the Tax Matters Partner such documents, information, certifications, powers of attorney and such other information, and do all things, that the Partners are required to furnish and/or that the Tax Matters Partner shall reasonably request in connection with any Partnership Tax Audit or, otherwise, in connection with the carrying out by the Tax Matters Partner of its authority, powers and duties under this Section 12.03 (and elsewhere hereunder).

The Partnership shall take any comments into account in good faith and with respect to which the PrinceRidge Managers shall have made a good faith attempt to provide to the Partnership the relevant tax authority supporting such comment.

prior to the date on which any such return is filed, the Partnership shall deliver such return to the PrinceRidge Managers for their review and comment.

(ii) with regard to any Pre-Closing Partnership Tax Audit, the PrinceRidge Managers or their designated representative shall serve as the Tax Matters Partner of the Partnership, the Company and any Partnership Subsidiary and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep IFMI reasonably and contemporaneously apprised of any material development of any Pre-Closing Partnership Tax Audit.

All ideas, inventions, discoveries, systems, interfaces, protocols, concepts, formats, suggestions, creations, developments, arrangements, designs, programs, products, processes, investment strategies, materials, valuation models, risk management tools, portfolio optimization tools, computer programs or software, databases, improvements or other properties related to the business of the Partnership and its controlled Affiliates conceived, made or developed while a Limited Partner is associated with the Partnership or any of its controlled Affiliates, whether conceived by such Limited Partner alone or working with others, and whether patentable or not (the “Work Product”), shall be owned by, and belong exclusively to, the Partnership or its relevant Affiliate. Work Product shall not include (i) any generalized ideas, concepts, knowledge, methods, techniques, skills, processes or know-how gained or learned by, or otherwise retained in the memory of such Limited Partner; (ii) any information that, prior to being conceived, made or developed by such Limited Partner, was publicly available or was generally known in the investment management industry, including any works or elements in the public domain; or (iii) ideas, inventions, discoveries, systems, interfaces, protocols, concepts, formats, suggestions, creations, developments, arrangements, designs, programs, products, processes, investment strategies, materials, valuation models, risk management tools, portfolio optimization tools, computer programs or software, databases, improvements or other properties related to the businesses of IFMI or its Affiliates (other than the Management Group Entities) that are not Competing Businesses (as defined in the Contribution Agreement). Any such Limited Partner shall assign to the Partnership such Limited Partner’s entire rights to the Work Product and agree to execute any documents and take any action reasonably requested by the General Partner to protect the rights of the Partnership or its relevant Affiliate in any Work Product. Any copyrightable subject matter created by a Limited Partner within the scope of such Limited Partner’s responsibilities to the Partnership and its controlled Affiliates, whether containing or involving Confidential Information or not, shall be deemed a work-made-for-hire under Chapter 17 of the United States Code, entitled “Copyrights”, and the Partnership or its relevant Affiliate shall be deemed the author and owner thereof for any purposes whatsoever. In the event of any unauthorized publication of any Confidential Information, the Partnership or its relevant Affiliate shall automatically own the Copyright in such publication.

Section 13.08 Partnership Property. All memoranda, lists, notes, charts, graphs, records, models, strategies, tools and other documents or papers (and all hard or electronic copies or summaries thereof) relating to the Partnership or any of its Affiliates, including but not limited to information relating to Confidential Information, whether written or stored on an electronic media system, made or compiled by a Partner, or on behalf of a Partner, or made available to an Partner related to the Partnership or any of its Affiliates shall be the property of the Partnership or such Affiliate, as the case may be, and shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the General Partner or in the case of IFMI, unless the retention of which is required by applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange requirements or unless otherwise agreed to by the then current PrinceRidge Managers, be delivered to the Partnership promptly upon the withdrawal of such Partner from the Partnership or sale of such Partner’s interest in the Partnership, or at any other time upon request. In the case of electronically stored property, a Partner shall, unless the

retention of which is required by applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange requirements, make all reasonable efforts to destroy such property within five (5) days after such Partner’s Withdrawal Date or the date of such sale and at any other time upon the request of the General Partner, or in the case of IFMI, upon the request of the then current PrinceRidge Managers.

Section 13.10 Acknowledgements Related to Restrictive Covenants. Each Limited Partner acknowledges that the terms of the Restrictive Covenants, including, without limitation, the duration of the Restricted Period, are reasonable and necessary in view of the nature of the business in which the Partnership is engaged because the Partnership’s business is global in scope and given such Limited Partner’s position with the Partnership and such Limited Partner’s knowledge of the Partnership’s business. Each Limited Partner recognizes that the amount of such Limited Partner’s compensation and/or economic interest in the Partnership and relationship to the Partnership’s Affiliates justifies such Limited Partner’s agreements set forth in the Restrictive Covenants. Each Limited Partner agrees that any harm to such Limited Partner caused by the enforcement of the Restrictive Covenants will be outweighed by the harm to the Partnership should the Restrictive Covenants not be enforced.

Section 13.11 Disclosures of IFMI Parent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, disclosures contained in any document filed with or submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and disclosures made in connection with the filing or submission of any such document, by IFMI Parent and/or any of its subsidiaries shall be deemed not to be a violation by IFMI of any provision of this Article XIII. IFMI shall notify the Board before making any such disclosures.

Section 14.02 Amendments of Agreement. Any amendment to this Agreement shall be made by the General Partner in accordance with Section 4.09 of the Operating Agreement; provided, that to the extent no Person qualifies at any time as a Qualifying PrinceRidge Individual Partner, any amendment to this Agreement that is materially adverse to the interests of any Individual Partner shall require the written consent of such Partner.

Section 14.03 Further Actions. Each Partner shall execute and deliver such other certificates, agreements and documents, and take such other actions, as may reasonably be requested by the Partnership in connection with the achievement of its purposes or to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement and any Supplementary Agreement, in each case as are not inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including any documents that the General Partner determines to be necessary or appropriate to form, qualify or continue the Partnership as a limited partnership in all jurisdictions in which the Partnership conducts or plans to conduct its investment and other activities and all such agreements, certificates, tax statements and other documents as may be required to be filed by or on behalf of the Partnership.

Section 14.04 Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the place where this Agreement may be executed by any of the parties hereto, the parties expressly agree that all the terms and provisions hereof shall be construed under the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to its choice of law rules, and, without limitation thereof, that the Act as now adopted or as may be hereafter amended shall govern this Agreement.

Section 14.05 Counterparts. Counterparts may be executed through the use of separate signature pages (or other agreement, including a Supplementary Agreement, acceptable to the General Partner) or in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if the parties executing such counterparts had all executed one (1) counterpart; provided, however, that each such counterpart shall have been executed by the General Partner.

Article VIII, Sections 14.04, 14.06, 14.08, 14.09, 14.10, 14.11, 14.12, 14.13 and 14.14, shall survive a Limited Partner’s withdrawal as a Limited Partner of the Partnership and any termination of this Agreement. A Limited Partner’s Supplementary Agreement shall also terminate upon such Limited Partner’s withdrawal as a Limited Partner of the Partnership and any termination of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in such Supplementary Agreement.

Business Days after such notice is mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and one (1) Business Day after such notice is sent by Federal Express or other one (1)-day service provider, to the proper address, or at the time delivered when delivered in person or by private courier. Any notice by facsimile or other electronic means shall be deemed to have been effectively given when sent and confirmed by telephone in accordance with the foregoing clause (b).

Section 14.10 Dispute Resolution. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all disputes arising under this Agreement will be resolved by arbitration in New York, New York by a single arbitrator; provided that if the parties to the dispute cannot agree on a single arbitrator within thirty (30) days, the matter will be submitted to JAMS in New York, New York for arbitration before a single arbitrator from the JAMS list, and pursuant to JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The fee of the arbitrator(s) will be split equally between the complainant(s) and the respondent(s). Each party will otherwise bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees, subject to the payment of any indemnification to which a party may be entitled. The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding upon such Partner and the Partnership, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in New York State, or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the award and an enforcement as the law of such jurisdiction may require or allow. Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the ability of any party hereto to provide factual testimony during such proceedings. Notwithstanding the preceding provision, the Partnership may seek injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in the event of a threatened or actual breach of Article XIII hereof.

Section 14.11 Injunctive Relief.

(a) In the event of a dispute, any Partner may apply to the arbitrator or arbitrators referred to in Section 14.10 to seek preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief, including, without limitation, to present or address a breach or possible breach of any Restrictive Covenant. Any party to this Agreement also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court of competent jurisdiction any injunctive, interim or provisional relief, including, without limitation, to present or address a breach or possible breach of any Restrictive Covenant, to protect the rights or property of that party, pending the establishment of the arbitral tribunal (or pending the arbitral tribunal’s determination of the merits of the controversy).

(b) It is specifically understood and agreed that any breach of any terms of any Restrictive Covenant is likely to result in irreparable injury to the Management Group Entities and clients and that any remedy at law alone will be an inadequate remedy for such breach, and that, in addition to any other remedy it may have, any of the Management Group Entities shall be entitled to enforce the specific performance of this Agreement by a Limited Partner and to seek both temporary and permanent injunctive relief thereof (to the extent permitted by law), and other equitable remedies, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting a bond or other security.

Section 14.12 Choice of Venue. Subject to Section 14.10 and Section 14.11, each Partner hereby consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New

York or any federal court sitting in the City of New York, and hereby waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such action or proceeding, any claim that such Limited Partner is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that the action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper, or that the provisions of this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts.

Section 14.13 Enforceability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed invalid or unenforceable as written, it shall be construed, to the greatest extent possible, in a manner that shall render it valid and enforceable, and any limitations on the scope or duration of any such provision necessary to make it valid and enforceable shall be deemed to be part thereof, and no invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall affect any other portion of this Agreement unless the provision deemed to be so invalid or unenforceable is a material element of this Agreement, taken as a whole.

Section 14.14 Judicial Modification. If at any time any of the provisions of Article XIII or any other Section of this Agreement shall be deemed invalid or unenforceable or are prohibited by the laws of the jurisdiction where they are to be performed or enforced, by reason of being vague or unreasonable as to duration or geographic scope or scope of activities restricted, or for any other reason, such provisions shall be considered divisible and shall become and be immediately amended to include only such restrictions and to such extent as shall be deemed to be reasonable and enforceable by the court, arbitrator or other body having jurisdiction over this Agreement, and the Partnership and each Limited Partner agree that such provisions, as so amended, shall be valid and binding as though any invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included in this Agreement.

Section 14.15 Legal Proceedings. Any action, claim or proceeding by any Partner or the Company, the Partnership or their subsidiaries, on the one hand, against any other Partner or the Company, the Partnership or their subsidiaries, on the other hand, shall be brought before an arbitrator, the determinations of which shall be binding on the parties to such action, claim or proceeding. Each party to such action, claim or proceeding shall pay its own costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all fees of such party’s legal counsel); provided, that, to the extent any Individual Partner is a defendant in such an action, claim or proceeding, the costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all fees of such party’s legal counsel) of such Individual Partner shall be paid in advance by the Partnership as such costs and expenses are incurred by such Individual Partner, but if such binding arbitration is determined against the Individual Partner pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of such arbitrator, such Individual Partner shall reimburse the Partnership for all advanced costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all fees of such Individual Partner’s legal counsel); provided further, that, to the extent an Individual Partner instigates such action, claim or proceeding, and the binding arbitration is determined in favor of such Individual Partner pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of such arbitrator, the Partnership shall reimburse such Individual Partner for his or her costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all fees of such Individual Partner’s legal counsel).

PrinceRidge Holdings LP – Class A Limited Partner

PrinceRidge Partners LLC – Member

This amended and restated supplementary agreement (this “Supplementary Agreement”) to the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Partnership Agreement”) of PrinceRidge Holdings LP (the “Partnership”), dated as of [ ], 2011, and the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement,” and together with the Partnership Agreement, the “Agreements”) of PrinceRidge Partners LLC (the “Company”), dated as of [ ], 2011, reflects the agreements with respect to certain matters concerning the rights of the Limited Partner with respect to the Partnership and the Company. [This Supplementary Agreement amends and restates the Supplementary Agreement of the Limited Partner dated February 1, 2009 and shall replace and supersede any other supplementary agreement executed between the Limited Partner and the Partnership or the Company, other than the Limited Partner’s Executive Agreement executed [as of the date hereof] in connection with the Agreements.]

The Limited Partner hereby agrees that, subject to acceptance in writing by the Company and the Managing Members by counter-signature of this Supplementary Agreement, effective as of the date specified above the undersigned shall become and be a party to this Supplementary Agreement.

This Supplementary Agreement is made and entered into as of the date set forth above by and among the undersigned and shall hereafter govern the Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership, as provided in the Partnership Agreement and this Supplementary Agreement, and in the Company, as provided in the LLC Agreement and this Supplementary Agreement.

All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Partnership Agreement or the LLC Agreement, as applicable. While this Supplementary Agreement is written as a single agreement for the convenience of the parties, for the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the Partnership on the one hand, and the Company on the other hand, are several and not joint. The Partnership shall not be responsible for any obligations of the Company with respect to the Limited Partner and the Company shall not be responsible for any obligations of the Partnership with respect to the Limited Partner.

1. Date of Admission.

(a) With respect to the Partnership: January 28, 2008

(b) With respect to the Company: January 28, 2008

10. Pari Passu Treatment of Members/Class A Partners Regarding Units. Subject to Section 7.03 of the Partnership Agreement and Section 7.03 of the LLC Agreement and adjustments for Tax Distributions, distributions on Units held by the Limited Partner shall be made to the Limited Partner pro rata and pari passu with the other Class A Partners; provided, that, if the Company or Partnership makes a distribution in kind to the Limited Partner, the Company and the Partnership shall not distribute to the Limited Partner more than the Limited Partner’s proportionate share of the securities or assets distributed to all Class A Partners. For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a repurchase of the Limited Partner’s Units, the Limited Partner shall be entitled to receive cash for such Units, except in the case of a Monetization Event, in which case the Limited Partner shall receive the same type of consideration in the same proportions as the other Class A Partners (whether cash, securities or other assets).

11. Tax Distributions. (a) “Tax Distribution” means an amount of cash equal to the difference between the Limited Partner’s Presumed Tax Liability and the amount of cash distributed to the Limited Partner by the Partnership for such Fiscal Year. “Presumed Tax Liability” for the Limited

Partner for any Fiscal Year means an amount equal to the product of (A) the amount of U.S. federal, state and local taxable income allocated to the Limited Partner by the Partnership for the prior Fiscal Year and (B) the Presumed Tax Rate as of December 31 of such prior Fiscal Year. “Presumed Tax Rate” means the effective combined federal, state and local income tax rate applicable to a natural person residing in New York, New York, taxable at the highest marginal federal income tax rate and the highest marginal New York State and New York City income tax rates (taking into account the character of such income and after giving effect to the federal income tax deduction for such state and local income taxes and disregarding the effects of Internal Revenue Code Sections 67 and 68).

(b) Notwithstanding anything in the Agreements to the contrary, commencing in the first full Fiscal Year following the Limited Partner’s Termination Date, the Limited Partner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to receive, with respect to each such Fiscal Year, a Tax Distribution from the Limited Partner’s Capital Account in an amount equal to the Limited Partner’s Presumed Tax Liability, based upon a Presumed Tax Rate of no less than thirty-five percent (35%). Each such Tax Distribution shall be made no later than the first business day of the month of April following the applicable Fiscal Year.

12. Issuance of Additional Units. To the extent that a Limited Partner’s share of Net Income for a Fiscal Year is not distributed to the Limited Partner by the first business day of the month of April of the following Fiscal Year but distributions of Net Income for such Fiscal Year are made to other Limited Partners by that date (other than Tax Distributions and deemed distributions in connection with withholding taxes pursuant to Section 7.02(f) of the Agreements), the Limited Partner’s share of Net Income for such Fiscal Year shall be deemed to have purchased additional Profit Units and Equity Units on behalf of the Limited Partner as of the first day of such following Fiscal Year.

13. Look-Back Participation in Sale Proceeds. So long as an event constituting Cause had not occurred with respect to the Limited Partner, if (i) the Limited Partner’s Units are repurchased by the Company or the Partnership (other than at the request of the Limited Partner), and (ii) a Sale Transaction or Monetization Event closes on or prior to the 12-month anniversary of any such repurchase, the Limited Partner shall be entitled to participate in the Sale Proceeds from such Sale Transaction or Monetization Event to the same extent as if the Limited Partner held the same number of Units as of such closing date as the Limited Partner held on the day prior to the date of the relevant repurchase (adjusted for any subsequent increase or decrease in Units to which all Class A Partners were subject).

14. Access to Books and Records. After the Limited Partner’s Termination Date and until the 90th day after delivery to the Limited Partner of the annual audit of the Partnership for the Fiscal Year in which the Limited Partner’s Withdrawal Date occurs, the Limited Partner shall have the right to (a) inspect and copy books and records of the Company and the Partnership at reasonable times for purposes solely related to confirming the Limited Partner’s economic interest in the Company and the Partnership and (b) receive financial statements and similar summary or aggregated financial information of the Company and the Partnership (“Summary Information”); provided, that, such Limited Partner shall not be permitted to inspect or have copies of business records that relate to the day-to-day activities or trade secrets of the Business (“Proprietary Information”); provided, further, if the Limited Partner believes that the Summary Information is insufficient to verify such Limited Partner’s economic interest in the Company or the Partnership, the Company and the Partnership shall permit an independent accounting firm, paid by the Limited Partner, to review the books and records of the Company and the Partnership on behalf of the Limited Partner for the purpose of verifying the Limited Partner’s economic interest in the Company and the Partnership, so long as such independent accounting firm has entered into a confidentiality agreement satisfactory to the Company and agrees that it shall not disclose the details of any Proprietary Information to the Limited Partner or, except in customary legal or regulatory circumstances, to any other party.

15. Amendments to LLC Agreement or Partnership Agreement. The Company shall not, without the Limited Partner’s written consent, amend the LLC Agreement or the Partnership Agreement in any manner that reduces the rights or increases the obligations of the Limited Partner with respect to the Units held by the Limited Partner or under this Supplementary Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have hereunto set their hands as of the date set forth above.
