GE N ER AL PA RT N ER

CO M MO N IN TER ES TS

Ascend Fund, L.P. is an exempted limited partnership organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands on July 16, 2015. The registered office of the Partnership is c/o Maples Corporate Services Limited, PO Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands.

The term of the Fund is perpetual, unless it is earlier terminated, wound up, liquidated and dissolved in accordance with the LPA or under the Exempted Limited Partnership Law (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, as amended.

IDC Management, Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and located at c/o Maples Corporate Services Limited, PO Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands, is the General Partner of the Partnership. The General Partner has the exclusive right to manage and conduct the business and affairs of the Partnership. As of the date of this memorandum, the General Partner is the owner of 9,400 Common Interests of the Partnership, and intends to purchase at least 5,600 additional Common Interests from AFIC. The General Partner will be responsible for the registrar and transfer duties of the Partnership.

AFIC will sell and transfer up to 55,000 Common Interests at a price of U.S. $1,000 per Common Interest to investors. AFIC will use the proceeds of its sale of Common Interests to partially repay its debt to the former limited partners of the Partnership for AFIC’s purchase of its limited partnership interests in the Partnership. The Common Interests have only limited voting rights, and, consequently, owners of Common Interests (“Common Partners”) will not have the ability to vote on or participate in matters relating to the operation and management of the Partnership.

8


AFIC will sell and transfer up to 40,000 Preferred Interests at a price of U.S. $1,000 per Preferred Interest to investors. AFIC will use the proceeds of its sale of Preferred Interests to partially repay its debt to the former limited partners of the Partnership for AFIC’s purchase of its limited partnership interests in the Partnership. The Preferred Interests have no voting rights, and, consequently, owners of Preferred Interests (“Preferred Partners”) will not have the ability to vote on or participate in matters relating to the operation and management of the Partnership. Each Preferred Partner will be entitled to receive a noncumulative, noncompounded, simple interest annual return equal to 8.5% on the daily balances of its Adjusted Capital Contribution (the “Preferred Partner Return”). The Partnership will have the option (the “Call Option”) to purchase and redeem all (but not less than all) of the outstanding Preferred Interests from the Preferred Partners at any time after August 1, 2023; provided, however, that the Call Option must be exercised and all of the outstanding Preferred Interests must be redeemed by the Partnership on or prior to August 1, 2027. The Common Partners will not be entitled to receive distributions from the Partnership until either (i) the Preferred Partners have received distributions equal to the aggregate amount of their Capital Contributions plus the Preferred Partner Return or (ii) the Preferred Interest Repurchase Reserve, to be set aside by the Partnership to redeem the Preferred Interests, is funded with at least the aggregate amount of issued and outstanding Preferred Interests (e.g., US$40,000,000), reduced by all capital that has already been repaid to the Preferred Partners (other than the Preferred Partner Return).

A F I C ’ S P U RC HAS E OF T H E PARTNERS HI P

In April of 2020, AFIC acquired 95% of the limited partnership interests in the Partnership. This purchase gave AFIC indirect ownership of 95% of the Operating Companies. AFIC paid a purchase price of $178,030,000 for its limited partnership interests in the Partnership, and $153,030,000 of this price is still owed to the seller. AFIC will use the proceeds from the sale of Interests in this offering to pay a portion of the unpaid balance of the purchase price to the seller. The remaining portion of the unpaid balance of the purchase price will be paid with debt incurred by the Operating Companies and proceeds from AFIC’s sale of Common Interests to the General Partner.

The Partnership intends to make cash distributions to holders of Interests, at such times and in such amounts as may be determined by the General Partner. Cash will be distributed to holders of Interests in the following order of priority: (i) first, to the Preferred Partners to the extent of their unpaid Preferred Partner Return; (ii) second, either (A) to the Preferred Partners, pro rata based on their Adjusted Capital Contributions until their Capital Contributions have been returned in full, or (B) to a reserve account established by the General Partner for the purpose of reserving enough funds to exercise the Partnership’s Call Option, until distributions made into such reserve account equal the aggregate amount of issued and outstanding Preferred Interests (e.g., US$40,000,000), reduced by all capital that has already been repaid to the Preferred Partners (other than the Preferred Partner Return); and (iii) then, pro rata, to the holders of Common Interests based on their respective Percentage Interests. There can be no assurance that the Investments will produce sufficient cash to allow the Partnership to make cash distributions. See “Risk Factors,” below. In addition, the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may elect to use the Partnership’s cash to acquire more Investments and/or expand the business of the Operating Companies, instead of distributing cash to the Partners.

C AR R I E D IN TER ES T

The General Partner will be compensated by receiving Common Interests, known as “Carried Interest,” based on increases in the value of the Partnership. Generally, the General Partner will receive a Carried Interest equal to 15% of the increase in value of the Partnership. The Partnership will issue the General Partner any Carried Interest accrued but unissued within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each even-numbered Fiscal Year, commencing with 2026. The Partnership will issue the Common Partners any Excess Carried Interest accrued but unissued within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each even-numbered Fiscal Year, commencing with 2026, pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. The number of Carried Interests and Excess Carried Interests issued to the General Partner and the Common Partners, respectively, will be determined by dividing the Total Value Created by US$1,000. The LPA sets forth the manner in which the quantity of Carried Interest and Excess Carried Interest to be issued will be determined. See Section 6.6 of the LPA.

P U RC H AS E OF IN TER ES TS

The Partnership and AFIC are offering Interests to raise up to U.S. $95 million. The Partnership and AFIC retain the right to accept subscriptions for less than the maximum offering. Each investor is expected to acquire a minimum of $500,000 of Interests (in either Common Interests, Preferred Interests or both), subject to the discretion of the General Partner to accept a capital commitment of a lesser amount or impose a higher minimum capital commitment. Investors will indicate in the Subscription Agreement (accompanying this memorandum) their total commitment to purchase Interests.

14


The Partnership or its subsidiaries (as the General Partner may determine), will pay to the General Partner (or the Investment Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement) an annual management fee (the “Management Fee”) equal to 1.5% of the Partnership’s Adjusted Assets Under Management, measured on the first day of each year. The Management Fee shall be payable in twelve equal monthly installments on the first day of each month.

IN V E S TMENT GUI D EL I N E S

The Partnership’s Investment Guidelines are attached as Exhibit B to the LPA. The General Partner will have sole discretion to modify the Partnership’s Investment Guidelines and investment objectives as a result of changing economic conditions.

ACQ U I S I TI O N STR ATEG I E S

The General Partner and the Investment Manager will identify and analyze potential acquisitions of new companies or businesses for the Partnership. If the General Partner approves of a new acquisition by the Partnership, the Partnership will invest in such new company or business; provided however, that if the General Partner intends on making a capital call to fund such new investment, a Majority in Interest will have to approve such call for capital. A “Majority in Interest”, as of any date of determination, means Partners whose Common Interests at such time exceed 60% of the Common Interests owned by all Partners at such time.

DI S P O S I T I ON P O L I C I ES

The Partnership intends to hold its Investments for an extended period. However, circumstances might arise which could result in the early sale of some of its Investments. The determination of whether a particular company or business should be sold will be made after consideration of relevant factors, including prevailing economic conditions and the viability of such company or business, with a view to achieving maximum capital appreciation. The Partnership cannot assure investors that this objective will be realized. The sale or other disposition of all of the Partnership’s assets must be approved by a Majority in Interest of the Common Interests.

C AP I TA L C A LLS

The General Partner shall have the right to call for additional capital from holders of Common Interests for two purposes: (a) to fund New Acquisitions of companies or businesses by the Partnership, and (b) to pay Partnership expenses. Preferred Partners are not required to pay additional capital calls. Capital calls made to fund New Acquisitions must be approved by a Majority in Interest of the Common Interests. If such a capital call is approved, (i) Partners who vote for the capital call are required to pay their pro-rata share of the capital call, and are subject to various remedies if they default on such obligation (see Section 5.6 of the LPA); and (ii) Partners who do not vote for the capital call will not be required to pay their share of the capital call, but their Percentage Interests will be proportionately diluted due to their failure to contribute capital.

The IDC Companies will be responsible for the costs of their operations, including rent, overhead expenses and the compensation and benefits provided to their employees.

OT H ER AC T I VI T I ES O F TH E I DC CO M PA N I ES

The IDC Companies and their Affiliates will not devote all of their business time to the Partnership’s business. These companies are permitted to pursue other investment opportunities, including the purchase of companies and businesses of the type to be acquired by the Partnership, and the ownership and management of other funds that may compete with the Partnership. The IDC Companies may be subject to conflicts of interest in the management of the Partnership and the Investments, including conflicts in deciding which investment opportunities will be allocated to the Partnership or pursued independently by the IDC Companies or their Affiliates. For additional information, see “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Management,” below.

An investment in the Partnership involves significant risks. See “Risk Factors” for additional details.

CO M P L I AN C E MAT T ER S

As a condition to investing in the Partnership, each Limited Partner is required to make detailed representations regarding its compliance with various U.S. laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist regulations. Limited Partners must also represent that they are not “Senior Foreign Political Figures” (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) or family members or close associates thereof. See Section 4 of the Subscription Agreement. If at any time a Limited Partner fails to meet these standards, the Partnership shall have the right to pursue various remedies against the defaulting Limited Partner, including requiring the Limited Partner to withdraw from the Partnership pursuant to Section 6.3 of the LPA. In addition, in order to comply with the anti-money laundering (“AML”) rules of the Cayman Islands, a Limited Partner must be introduced to the Partnership by an eligible introducer or complete an anti-money laundering certificate in the form required by the AML rules. These forms can be obtained from the Partnership.

Following the Initial Restrictive Period, Common Partners may sell, transfer, assign or encumber their Interests to third parties, subject to the General Partner’s right of first refusal to acquire such Interests first, and the non-selling Limited Partners’ secondary right of first refusal. In no event may Interests be transferred to U.S. citizens or residents. A Limited Partner’s ability to transfer its Interests is subject to significant limitations. See Section 5.10 of the LPA for additional details. However, the restrictions on transfers contained in Section 5.10 of the LPA do not apply to transfers by the General Partner of its Common Interests.

To invest, an investor must complete and sign the Subscription Agreement, including Schedule 1 to the Subscription Agreement and the Joinder to the LPA attached to the Subscription Agreement, and IRS Form W-8, and forward such documents to the Partnership, together with payment for the Interests purchased by the investor. Each investor must also obtain an appropriate introduction, or complete an AML certificate, as required by the AML regulations of the Cayman Islands. A copy of the Subscription Agreement is included as Exhibit B to this memorandum. The other documents may be obtained from the Partnership.

R IS K FACTO RS An investment in the Interests involves certain risks. An investment in the Interests is only suitable for persons of substantial financial means who have no need for liquidity. The following factors, along with others described in this memorandum, should be considered in evaluating an investment in the Interests.

R IS KS RE L AT E D TO T H E PART N E RS H I P ’ S BUS I N ESS The Partnership might not be able to implement its investment and operating policies and strategies successfully. The Partnership is subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any business, including the risk that the Partnership will not achieve its investment objectives. The results of the Partnership’s operations will depend on a variety of factors outside of the control of the Partnership, including the availability of opportunities for investment, the availability of funding and economic conditions, and the success and profitability of its subsidiaries. The performance of the Partnership’s past investments is not indicative of its future investments. The past performance of the Partnership’s investments is not necessarily indicative of the future results of the Partnership’s investments. Notwithstanding the past performance of these investments, on any given investment, the Partnership may incur substantial losses.

18

If the Partnership is unable to invest in suitable investments, then the Partnership may not be able to achieve its investment objectives. The Partnership’s ability to achieve its investment objectives depends upon the ability of the General Partner to identify and acquire attractive investments, to grow the Partnership’s current subsidiaries, and to successfully operate the Partnership and its subsidiaries. There can be no assurance that the General Partner will be successful in identifying suitable investments or that the Partnership’s objectives will be achieved. Any failure to manage the Partnership’s future growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. Investors will not have the opportunity to evaluate the Partnership’s investments. Because the Partnership has not yet identified all of the investments that the Partnership will make, the Partnership


The Partnership is focused on investing in the animal protein food, animal nutrition and breeding industries in Central and South America and the Caribbean, and therefore lacks diversification. While diversification is an objective of the Partnership, there can be no assurance as to the degree of diversification that will actually be achieved by the Partnership, either by geographic region or asset type. Most, if not all, of the Partnership’s investments will be in Central and South America and the Caribbean. The Partnership is, therefore, subject to increased exposure (positive or negative) from economic and other competitive factors specific to the markets within these regions. In addition, the Partnership intends to invest in companies and businesses involved in the animal protein food, animal nutrition and breeding industries. Given the limited range of investments the Partnership intends to make, it may be negatively impacted by events affecting the aforementioned industries predominantly or exclusively. Limited Partners may be able to achieve greater returns by investing in a broader portfolio of investments, including diversification by geographic region or industry. Further, if the Partnership makes an investment in a single transaction with the intent of selling a portion of the investment, there is a risk that the Partnership will be unable to successfully complete such sale. This could lead to increased risk as a result of the Partnership having an unintended long-term investment and reduced diversification. The Partnership may participate in a limited number of investments and, as a consequence, the aggregate return of the Partnership may be materially and adversely affected by the unfavorable performance of a single investment. The Partnership operates in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities with competitors who may have greater resources. This may cause the Partnership to lose investment opportunities or to invest on less favorable terms. A number of entities will compete with the Partnership to make the types of investments that the Partnership

plans to make. The Partnership will compete with other domestic and foreign public and private funds, commercial and investment banks, private and public finance companies, and a number of other investors. Many of the Partnership’s competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources than the Partnership. Some competitors may have a lower cost of funds and access to funding sources that are not available to the Partnership. In addition, some of the Partnership’s competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments, which could allow them to consider a wider variety of investments and establishment relationships than the Partnership. The competitive pressures that the Partnership may face may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. Also, as a result of this competition, the Partnership may not be able to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities from time to time, and no assurance can be made that the Partnership will be able to identify and make investments that are consistent with its investment objective. A pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease in Central or South America, or the Caribbean, such as the recent outbreak of the coronavirus known as COVID-19, could adversely affect the operating results and financial condition of the Partnership and the Operating Companies. Pandemic infectious diseases, such as the current COVID-19 strain, may adversely impact the business, operations and financial condition of the Partnership and the Operating Companies. The global spread of COVID-19 has created significant volatility and uncertainty and economic disruption. The extent to which COVID-19 or other infectious diseases may impact the business, operations and financial results of the Partnership and the Operating Companies will depend on numerous evolving factors that the Partnership and the Operating Companies may not be able to accurately predict, including: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic; the impact of the pandemic on economic activity and actions taken in response; the

effect on the demand for the products of the Operating Companies; the ability of the Operating Companies to implement their respective business plans, including as a result of travel restrictions and people working from home; the ability of potential customers to pay for the products of the Operating Companies; and any closures of the facilities of the Operating Companies.

The animal protein food, animal nutrition and breeding industries are subject to significant government regulation in the countries where the Partnership conducts business. These regulationswill increase the Partnership’s costs ofdoing business. Failure to comply with applicable regulations may result in fines, suspension of operations and other adverse consequences for the Partnership and its subsidiaries.

The animal protein food, animal nutrition and breeding industries are subject to significant government regulation in the countries where the Partnership conducts business.

R ISK S R E L AT E D TO M AN AG E M E N T The Partnership’s future success is dependent upon the principals of the General Partner and the loss of any of them could severely and detrimentally affect the Partnership’s operations.

Carried Interest may create an incentive for the General Partner to pursue investments that are riskier or more speculative than would have been the case in the absence of this incentive.

The Partnership will depend on the diligence, experience, and skill of IDC Management, Ltd. and its principals. The principals of the General Partner will evaluate, negotiate, structure, acquire and sell the Investments. The principals of the General Partner will, among other services, manage the Partnership, and coordinate capital contributions from investors. The General Partner will retain the Investment Manager to provide investment advice and other services to the General Partner, in order to assist the General Partner in making investment and other decisions on behalf of the Partnership. The Partnership’s future success will depend on the continued service of the management team of the General Partner and of the Investment Manager. The departure of any of such principals could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s ability to achieve its investment objectives. The principals of the General Partner and the Investment Manager have not entered into employment or non-compete agreements with the General Partner or the Investment Manager. Neither the General Partner nor the Investment Manager has purchased “key man” life insurance with respect to their principals.

The General Partner will be entitled to receive a Carried Interest from the Partnership equal to 15% of the Partnership’s Total Value Created. This may create an incentive for the General Partner to pursue investments that are riskier or more speculative than would have been the case in the absence of this incentive.

The IDC Companies and their principals may engage in other investment activities, which could reduce the amount of time and effort that they devote to the Partnership. The LPA and the Management Agreement do not restrict the right of the IDC Companies or their principals and Affiliates to carry on other business activities, including other investment activities which compete with the Partnership’s business. In addition, the LPA and Management Agreement do not specify a minimum amount of time that the IDC Companies or their principals must devote to managing the Partnership’s investments. The IDC Companies and their principals will have responsibilities in connection with their roles as principals and officers of other entities. The ability of these parties to engage in these other business activities could reduce the time and effort they spend on the Partnership’s business, which could negatively impact the Partnership’s performance.


The Partnership and/or its subsidiaries may enter into relationships and/or agreements, contractual and otherwise, with affiliated or related entities, in which the IDC Companies or their Affiliates may be interested, through common ownership or otherwise. Such relationships raise the potential for conflicts of interest. The members of the management teams of the IDC Companies are currently engaged in other investment activities and expect to engage in additional investment activities in the future. As a result, they may face conflicts of interest in allocating investments. Members of the management teams of the IDC Companies are currently engaged in a variety of investment activities for their own account and for the account of other investment funds managed by them, and they expect to continue to engage in such activities in the future. As a result of these activities, the members of the management teams will be subject to conflicts of interest in determining whether to allocate investment opportunities to the Partnership. The liability of the IDC Companies will be limited under the LPA, and the Partnership will agree to indemnify the IDC Companies against certain liabilities, which may lead them

to act in a riskier manner on behalf of the Partnership than they would when acting for their own account. Pursuant to the LPA, the IDC Companies and their principals and employees will not be liable to the Partnership for their acts, unless they constitute bad faith, willful misfeasance or gross negligence. The Partnership has agreed to indemnify the IDC Companies and their principals and employees with respect to all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses resulting from their acts which do not constitute bad faith, willful misfeasance or gross negligence. These protections may lead the IDC Companies to act in a riskier manner when acting on behalf of the Partnership than they would when acting for their own account. The Partnership will be managed and controlled by the General Partner, and investors will have no control over the Partnership’s management. IDC Management, Ltd. owns all of the General Partnership Interests of the Partnership, and will have the exclusive right to manage and conduct the business and affairs of the Partnership. The Common Interests which are offered to investors in this offering have limited voting rights and the Preferred Interests which are offered to investors in this offering have no voting rights, and neither bestows any right to participate in the management, operation, and/or administration of the Partnership.

RISK S R E L AT ED TO T H I S O F F E RI N G An investor’s ability to transfer its Interests is restricted under the terms of the LPA. Limited Partners generally may not sell, transfer, assign or encumber any part of their Interests, except with the prior written consent of the General Partner. At any time from January 1, 2024 until December 31, 2026 (the “Initial Restrictive Period”), Common Partners may transfer their Interests to the General Partner or to other Limited Partners, subject to the General Partner’s right of first

refusal to acquire such Interests first. Following the Initial Restrictive Period, Common Partners may sell, transfer, assign or encumber their Interests to third parties, subject to the General Partner’s right of first refusal to acquire such Interests first, and the non-selling Limited Partners’ secondary right of first refusal. In no event may Interests be transferred to U.S. citizens or residents. A Limited Partner’s ability to transfer its Interests is subject to significant limitations. See Section 5.10 of the LPA for additional details.

An investor’s ability to transfer its Interests is restricted under federal and other securities laws. Each investor should be aware that it may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Interests for an indefinite period of time.

The Partnership will not be registered with or regulated by any securities or governmental authority of any jurisdiction.

AFIC has offered the Interests in reliance upon exemptions from registration under the Securities Act for an offer and sale of securities that does not involve a public offering and that is not made to citizens and residents of the U.S. The Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any securities laws and may not be resold except pursuant to an exemption from or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable securities laws. Interests may not be transferred to U.S. citizens or residents. Each investor should be aware that it may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Interests for an indefinite period of time.

The income tax aspects of an investment in the Partnership are complicated and each investor should have such tax aspects reviewed by professional advisers familiar with the investor’s personal tax situation and with the tax laws and regulations applicable to the investor.

The Partnership is subject to limited government regulation.

An investment in the Partnership is subject to certain tax risks.

A Limited Partner may incur tax liabilities under federal or local income tax laws of certain jurisdictions in which the Partnership operates as well as the jurisdiction of such Limited Partner’s residence or domicile, which laws vary from one locale to another and which are complex and subject to change. There can be no assurance that the tax consequences described in this offering memorandum will be applied to the Partnership, its subsidiaries or the Limited Partners. Such matters are subject to change by legislation, administrative action and judicial decision.

Each prospective Limited Partner should consult with his or her own tax adviser for detailed information regarding the tax consequences of an investment in the Partnership.

R ISK S R E L AT E D TO T H E F UN D The General Partner has not yet identified all investments that will be made by the Fund. As of the date of this memorandum, the Fund’s investments have not been fully identified. Investors will be relying on the ability of the General Partner to identify and evaluate the investments to be made by the Fund. Even if the investments of the Fund are successful, the returns may not be realized by the Limited Partners for a period of several years. The General Partner could have difficulty identifying, negotiating and closing suitable investments.

22

Although the General Partner’s management team has been successful in identifying suitable investments in the past, the General Partner may be unable to find a sufficient number of attractive opportunities to meet the Fund’s investment objectives. The success of the Fund will depend on the ability of the General Partner to identify suitable investments, to negotiate and arrange the closing of appropriate transactions and to arrange the timely disposition of a sufficient number of suitable investments. There can be no guarantee that a sufficient number of such investments will be available and that the Fund will therefore be able to invest all funds committed for investment by its investors. The General Partner’s


The Fund may not realize gains or income from its investments. The Fund seeks to generate both current income and capital appreciation. However, the target companies and businesses invested in may not appreciate in value and, in fact, may decline in value. Accordingly, the Fund may not be able to realize gains or income from its investments. Any gains that the Fund does realize may not be sufficient to offset any other losses it experiences. Investments made by the Fund are speculative in nature. All investments are speculative in nature and the possibility of partial or total loss of capital exists. Investors should not subscribe to or invest in the Fund unless they can readily bear the consequences of such loss. The Fund may employ substantial leverage in making its investments. The Fund may use substantial leverage to carry out its investment activities. The use of leverage magnifies the degree of risk, including the risk of substantial or even total loss to the Fund of its invested capital. The more the Fund leverages its assets, the more likely a substantial change will occur, either up or down, in the value of its investments. This increased leverage magnifies the degree of risk to the Fund. Additionally, the terms of any financing arrangement may contain various financial and other covenants relating to the Fund and its ongoing operations. Such covenants may restrict the Fund’s activities and its ability to distribute cash to investors. Failure by the Fund to comply with such covenants could result in losses to the Fund. Most Fund investments will be illiquid in nature. Investments made by the Fund are likely to be illiquid. Illiquidity may result from the absence of an established market for the investments, as well as legal, contractual or

other restrictions on their resale by the Fund. Dispositions of investments may be subject to contractual and other limitations on transfer or other restrictions that would interfere with subsequent sales of such investments or adversely affect the terms that could be obtained upon any disposition thereof. A prolonged economic slowdown or a recession could impair the Fund’s investments and harm its operating results. Many of the Fund’s investments may be susceptible to economic slowdowns or recessions, which could lead to financial losses in its investments and a decrease in revenues, net income and assets. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase the Fund’s funding costs, limit its access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to the Fund. These events could prevent the Fund from increasing investments and harm its returns. When investing in multiple jurisdictions, the Fund will be exposed to currency risk. The Fund will invest its capital in jurisdictions outside of the United States. As such, the Fund will generally be exposed to currency risk. The currency price of a non-U.S. investment can decline rapidly for a variety of reasons, including political, economic or technical trends, events or developments. Risks associated with investing in developed countries are compounded when investing in emerging markets. Investing in underdeveloped emerging markets entails all of the risks of investing in developed countries to a heightened degree. These heightened risks include: (i) greater risks of expropriation, confiscatory taxation, nationalization, and less social, political and economic stability; and (ii) certain national policies that may restrict the Fund’s investment opportunities including restrictions on investing in issuers or industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. Possible market developments could cause the Fund’s lenders to require it to pledge additional assets as collateral.

inability to identify or acquire appropriate investments may have an adverse effect on the Fund and therefore the Fund’s results of operations.


C O NFID E NTIAL PR IVATE O FFE R ING M E M O R AND U M

If the Fund’s assets are insufficient to meet the collateral requirements, then the Fund may be compelled to liquidate particular assets at an inopportune time. Possible market developments, including a sharp rise in interest rates, a change in prepayment rates or increasing market concern about the value or liquidity of one or more types of the underlying assets in which the Fund’s investments are concentrated, may reduce the market value of our investments, which may cause the Fund’s sources of leverage to require additional collateral. This requirement for additional collateral may compel the Fund to liquidate assets at a disadvantageous time, thus adversely affecting its operating results, liquidity, financial condition, and returns. The Fund may co-invest with third parties, which could result in future conflicts. The Fund may co-invest with third parties through joint ventures or other entities, including competing funds. Such investments may involve risks not present in investments where a third party is not involved, including the possibility that a co-venturer or partner of the Fund may at any time have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with those of the Fund, or may be in a position to take action contrary to the Fund’s investment objectives. As a result, the Fund may be unable to fully realize its expected return on any such investment. Further, in certain circumstances, the Fund may be liable for actions of its coventurers or partners. The Limited Partners have no direct control over the Fund’s operating or investment policies or procedures, which results in substantial reliance on the General Partner. The management, financing and disposition policies of the Fund and its policies with respect to certain other activities, including its investment and operating policies, are determined by the General Partner. To the extent permitted by the LPA, these policies may be changed from time to time at the discretion of the General Partner without a vote of the Limited Partners of the Fund. Although the General Partner has no present intention to

24

make any such changes, such changes could be detrimental to the Limited Partners’ investment in the Fund. Investors will have limited voting rights as Limited Partners of the Fund. Accordingly, Limited Partners will have to rely completely on the General Partner to manage the Fund. Projections and opinions expressed by the Fund or the General Partnerare based on current knowledge, and are limited as such. Statements contained in this memorandum that are not historical facts are based on current expectations, estimates, projections, opinions and beliefs of the General Partner. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, and undue reliance should not be placed on them. No assurance can be given that returns from the Fund will be equal or similar to those achieved or expected to be achieved by prior investments of the General Partner, and no assurances can be given that actual results will meet the Fund’s stated objectives. Expedited transactions. Investment analyses and decisions by the General Partner may frequently be required to be undertaken on an expedited basis to take advantage of investment opportunities. In such cases, the information available to the General Partner at the time of making an investment decision may be limited, and it may not have access to detailed information regarding the target company or business. Therefore, no assurance can be given that the General Partner will have knowledge of all circumstances that may adversely affect an investment. In addition, the General Partner expects to rely upon independent consultants in connection with its evaluation of proposed investments, and no assurance can be given as to the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by such independent consultants. The failure of Common Partners to satisfy capital calls could have a significantly negative impact on the Fund’s overall performance. In the event that the General Partner calls for capital from Common Partners, the failure of any Partner to satisfy


C O NFI D E NTI AL PR IVATE O FFE R ING ME MO R AND U M C O NFI D E NTI AL PR IVATE O FFE R ING ME MO R AND U M

capital calls on a timely basis may adversely affect the Fund’s access to capital and, among other things, the ability of the Fund to consummate investments or pay its obligations on a timely basis. In addition, to the extent a Common Partner fails to make a capital contribution when called, the Fund may be forced to increase its leverage on terms that may not be favorable to the Fund. If the capital required to meet the Fund’s obligations cannot be obtained, the Fund may be subject to liability for breach of those obligations. Any default by one or more Common Partners could have a deleterious effect on the Fund, its assets and the interests of the other Limited Partners.

dilution of its Percentage Interests in the Fund and the sale of its Interests in the Fund. Limited Partners have no right to withdraw from the Fund. With limited exceptions, a Limited Partner has no right to withdraw from the Fund or require that its Interests in the Fund be redeemed or repurchased. Accordingly, investors who acquire Interests in the Fund should be prepared to hold their investments until such time as the Fund is terminated and its assets are liquidated. Creditors of the Fund will have recourse against the Fund’s assets.

The Partners are subject to substantial penalties in the event that they fail to contribute their committed capital. If a Partner fails to make a required capital contribution to the Fund, then the General Partner may exercise certain remedies against the defaulting Partner. Such remedies include, among others set forth in the LPA, a substantial

The Fund’s assets are available to satisfy all liabilities and other obligations of the Fund. If the Fund becomes subject to a liability, parties seeking to have the liability satisfied may have recourse against the Fund’s assets generally and may not be limited to any particular asset, such as the asset representing the investment giving rise to the liability.

The Management Fee shall be payable in twelve equal monthly installments on the first day of each month. 3.6 Expenses. a) The General Partner shall bear all of its expenses arising out of its services to the Partnership, including all of its general overhead expenses (including the rent of its offices, compensation and benefits of its staff, maintenance of its books and records, and its fixed expenses, such as expenses for telephones and general purpose office equipment), but is not responsible for any expenses of the Partnership; provided however, that with respect to any New Acquisition, the General Partner shall be responsible for any investigatory, pre-decisional due diligence costs incurred before the Bright-Line Date (“Pre-Decisional Costs”). b) The Partnership shall generally be responsible for the following costs and expenses: (i) the Management Fee; (ii) all operating, general and administrative expenses of the Partnership’s business and operations; (iii) except for Pre-Decisional Costs, all general investment expenses for new investments (e.g., research expenses, due diligence expenses, custodial expenses (if any), legal fees associated with the purchase of such new investments and other investment expenses); (iv) fees, costs and expenses of third-party service providers that provide services to the Partnership; (v) insurance costs and expenses; (vi) taxes and other governmental charges payable by the Partnership; (vii) governmental licensing, filing and exemption fees; (viii) Indemnification Obligations;

To the extent that expenses incurred by the Partnership are paid by a General Partner Associate, the Partnership shall reimburse such party for such expenses. 3.7 Borrowing. The Partnership may borrow money, including: (a) in anticipation of receipt of Capital Contributions (in which case all or a part of such Capital Contributions shall be used to repay such borrowings in full); (b) to cover any shortfall in the Partnership’s ability to make a capital contribution to a subsidiary; (c) to satisfy any tax liability of the Partnership, foreign or domestic; (d) to satisfy any tax liability of a Limited Partner, foreign or domestic, paid by the Partnership; (e) from an Affiliate of the General Partner; or (f) for any other purpose the General Partner reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate.

To the extent that the Partnership has outstanding obligations under a borrowing secured by the available Capital Commitments of the Limited Partners hereunder, each Limited Partner shall be obligated to fund any portion of its available Capital Commitment without defense, counterclaim or offset of any kind; provided, that such agreement to fund shall not act as a waiver of any claim that such Limited Partner may have against any other Limited Partner or the Partnership. In the event that, as a result of any such pledge, mortgage, assignment, transfer or grant of security interest, a Limited Partner makes a payment directly to a Credit Provider as required pursuant thereto, such payment shall be deemed to be a Capital Contribution of such Limited Partner to the Partnership. 3.8 Activities of the General Partner and Affiliates; Conflicts of Interest. Each Limited Partner, by subscribing for an Interest, shall be deemed to have: (a) given full and informed consent to each action and practice involving an actual or potential conflict between the interests of any one or more General Partner Associates, on the one hand, and any one or more of the Partnership and the Limited Partners, on the other hand; and (b) agreed not to object to any such action or practice, and not to bring any Proceeding against any General Partner Associate or

In addition, the General Partner may create or sponsor one or more partnerships or other investment vehicles. One or more investors may make investments in the Partnership through these vehicles. The General Partner may at any time cause some or all of the Limited Partners to fund a portion of their Capital Commitments in the Partnership through one or more alternative investment vehicles if the General Partner determines that, based on legal, tax, regulatory or other similar considerations, it is in the best interests of the Partnership or some or all of its Limited Partners that all or part of an investment be made through any such alternative investment vehicle. b) Separate Investment Vehicles. The General Partner will have the right to direct Capital Contributions of some or all of the Limited Partners to be effected through one or more separate investment vehicles if, in the good faith determination of the General Partner, the use of such vehicles would allow the Partnership to overcome legal, tax, regulatory or other constraints and/or facilitate participation in certain types of investments. Any such vehicles will contain provisions substantially comparable to those of the Partnership and will be managed by the General Partner or an affiliate thereof.

The Partnership will issue up to US$40,000,000 in Preferred Interests (the “Preferred Interests”) to Limited Partners on the terms set forth in this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no Limited Partner holding Preferred Interests (the “Preferred Partners”) shall have any voting or other rights under this Agreement or the Act, except for the right to receive cash distributions from the Partnership as specified in this Agreement. The Preferred Interests shall be subject to all restrictions and obligations contained in this Agreement. b) Common Interests. The Partnership will issue Common Interests to Limited Partners on the terms set forth in this Agreement. Under no circumstances will the Common Partners be entitled to receive distributions from the Partnership until either (i) the Preferred Partners have received distributions equal to the aggregate amount of their Capital Contributions plus the Preferred Partner Return or (ii) the Preferred Interest Repurchase Reserve, to be set aside by the Partnership to redeem the Preferred Interests, is funded with at least the aggregate amount of issued

and outstanding Preferred Interests, reduced by all capital that has already been repaid to the Preferred Partners (other than the Preferred Partner Return). The Common Interests shall be subject to all restrictions and obligations contained in this Agreement. 5.2 Issuance and Sale of Interests. a) The General Partner is currently the owner of 9,400 Common Interests of the Partnership. At the Common Interest Closing, AFIC intends to sell and transfer at least 5,600 Common Interests at a price of US$1,000 per Common Interest to the General Partner. At the Common Interest Closing, AFIC intends to sell and transfer up to 55,000 Common Interests at an initial price of US$1,000 per Common Interest to investors that execute Subscription Agreements, and such investors shall be admitted as Limited Partners. b) AFIC intends to sell up to 40,000 Preferred Interests to investors at a price of US$1,000 per Preferred Interest, at a closing to be held pursuant to Section 5.3 below. c) The General Partner is authorized to cause the Partnership to offer, sell and issue Interests, and to admit Persons to the Partnership as Limited Partners in connection therewith, in such manner and at such time or times as the General Partner may determine, except that the General Partner may not cause the Partnership to offer, sell or issue Interests in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement or the Memorandum in effect at the relevant time, or to any Person who has failed to execute a Subscription Agreement or other document under which such Person has agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Limited Partner. Admission of a new Limited Partner shall not be cause for termination of the Partnership. Upon the admission of each additional Limited Partner to the Partnership (including, without limitation, by way of a transfer in accordance with Sections 5.2(a) and 5.10), the General Partner shall execute an amendment to this Agreement modifying Exhibit A hereto as appropriate to reflect the admission of such Limited Partner. For the avoidance of any doubt, no consent of any other Limited Partner shall be required for the admission of such Limited Partner or for any corresponding amendment to this Agreement. 43

and rights of the General Partner under this Agreement, whereupon the outgoing General Partner shall be divested of all such rights, but the General Partner shall retain its Partnership Interest and any Carried Interest which has been issued to the General Partner as of the date of the General Partner’s removal.

44

d) After the date of this Agreement, no Person shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner unless such admission is effected in accordance with Section 5.2(a) or (b) or Section 5.10(d)(ii)(A). e) Each Person whose Subscription Agreement has been accepted by the General Partner shall, to the extent the General Partner has agreed to accept a Capital Contribution or Capital Contributions under such Subscription Agreement, make such Capital Contribution or Capital Contributions in cash in immediately available funds (unless the General Partner expressly agrees otherwise) at the time(s) and place(s) set forth in such Subscription Agreement or in a Notification given to such Person pursuant to such Subscription Agreement. f) Limited Partners shall not be residents or citizens of the United States, unless such requirement is waived by the General Partner. g) The General Partner may establish a Capital Account for a Limited Partner pursuant to Section 7.1(a) and deem a Capital Contribution to have been made to such Capital Account as of the beginning of an Accounting Period even though such Capital Contribution is received by the Partnership after the first Business Day of such Accounting Period if the General Partner determines that deeming such Capital Contribution to have been made as of the beginning of such Accounting Period does not have and cannot reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Limited Partners generally. In that event, the General Partner may (but shall not be required to) charge the Opening Balance of such Capital Account (determined as of the beginning of such Accounting Period), or require such Limited Partner to pay, interest for the period from the beginning of such Accounting Period to the date such Capital Contribution is actually received by the Partnership. Any interest charged to (or paid by) such Limited Partner shall be credited pro rata to the Opening Balances of all other Capital Accounts (determined as of beginning of such Accounting Period). All interest required to be paid or charged under this Section 5.2(f) will be at a floating rate determined by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion.

h) A Person who has been admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner and who wishes to make a Capital Contribution not required to be made under such Person’s Subscription Agreement may do so only upon the approval of the General Partner. i) Subject to the provisions of the Act, the General Partner may compromise or waive any obligation a Limited Partner may have to the Partnership under its Subscription Agreement (including an obligation to make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership) or otherwise, on such terms and subject to such conditions as the General Partner may determine. 5.3 Closings. a) The initial subscription period for the sale of Common Interests will close on or before June 30, 2020 (such date to be the “Common Interest Closing”). The initial subscription period for the sale of Preferred Interests will close on August 15, 2020 (such date to be the “Initial Preferred Interest Closing”). The General Partner and AFIC are entitled, at their sole discretion, to continue to accept subscriptions for Preferred Interests and to hold one or more subsequent closings (each a “Subsequent Closing”). The final closing of Preferred Interests will occur on the earlier of (i) the date on which AFIC sells all of its Preferred Interests, or (ii) five (5) months after the Initial Preferred Interest Closing (the “Final Preferred Interest Closing”). b) After AFIC ceases offering its Interests to investors, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to offer, sell and issue Common and/or Preferred Interests to new investors, for the purpose of raising funds to pay Partnership expenses or to acquire additional businesses. Such Interests shall be issued at such price(s) and on such terms as may be reasonably determined by the General Partner. Contributions will be credited to the Partnership on such day or days as the General Partner may from time to time determine. The General Partner may elect to reject any contribution in its discretion. There is no maximum amount of Partnership Interests that may be outstanding from time to time. However, the General Partner may, in its discretion, limit the amount of capital the Partnership may accept from investors.


c) The General Partner may suspend the offering of Interests from time to time or terminate the offering of Interests at any time in its discretion. 5.4 Capital Commitments. a) The minimum Capital Commitment to be made to the Partnership by any investor is US$500,000 (in either Common Interests, Preferred Interests or both), subject to the discretion of the General Partner to accept a Capital Commitment of a lesser amount or impose a higher minimum Capital Commitment. b) Each Limited Partner agrees to make Capital Contributions only in an aggregate amount not exceeding its Capital Commitment, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Limited Partner may be required to make Capital Contributions to the Partnership in an amount in excess of its Capital Commitment (i) for any Partnership expenses, including, without limitation, the Management Fee or any tax payments (or interest or penalties associated therewith) made on behalf of such Limited Partner, or (ii) to cover a Defaulting Limited Partner’s Capital Contribution to the Partnership or to acquire such Defaulting Limited Partner’s Interest in the Partnership. 5.5 Capital Contributions and Capital Calls. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, Capital Contributions shall be made in accordance with separate Capital Calls, in amounts determined by the General Partner in accordance with the following terms and conditions: a) Capital Contributions. Each Limited Partner shall pay AFIC for its Interests at the time of subscription. Thereafter, additional Capital Contributions may be required from Common Partners from time to time to allow the Partnership to fund new investments, meet expenses and liabilities of the Partnership, or to establish and maintain cash reserves for such purposes and in such amounts as the General Partner deems necessary and appropriate. Any such additional Capital Contributions shall be requested by the General Partner in accordance with subsection (b). b) Capital Calls. Subject to Section 3.2, if the Partnership requires additional funds, in the General

Partner’s determination, the General Partner shall deliver to the Common Partners written notice of the Partnership’s need for additional capital. Capital Contributions will be due at such times and in such amounts as will be specified in such notice made by the General Partner; provided that in no event shall the Capital Contribution be due less than ten (10) days after the date of the Capital Call. In the event of any Capital Call made pursuant to this Section 5.5(b), the General Partner shall update the Partnership’s books and records to reflect an increase to each Common Partner’s Capital Commitment. Any failure by the General Partner to update the Partnership’s books and records shall not affect the Common Partners’ obligations to contribute additional capital to the Partnership under this Section 5.5. For the avoidance of doubt, only Common Partners shall be required to contribute additional capital to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 5.5(b). 5.6 Default on Capital Contributions. a) If any Limited Partner fails to make all or any portion of any Capital Contribution when due (a “Default”), then such Limited Partner may be designated by the General Partner as in default under this Agreement (a “Defaulting Limited Partner”), and such Limited Partner may be assessed a late fee or other charge (including, without limitation, interest) on such outstanding amount in an amount to be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner, for each day on which all or any portion of such Capital Contribution remains outstanding. b) With respect to any Capital Contribution (or portion thereof) that is subject to a Default (the “Defaulted Amount”), the General Partner may (i) increase the Capital Contributions of the Limited Partners that have made their corresponding Capital Contributions, pro rata based on their Percentage Interests, to the extent necessary to fund the Defaulted Amount, and/or (ii) cause the Partnership to obtain (through a borrowing or otherwise) such amounts as are necessary to fund the Defaulted Amount, and the cost of obtaining such amounts may be assessed to the Defaulting Limited Partner provided that, in the event that the Partnership is

C O NFID E NTIAL PR IVATE O FFE R ING M E M O R AND U M

46

unable to recover such amounts from the Defaulting Limited Partner, the Limited Partners may bear such amounts as partnership expenses. c) The Partnership will have the right to bring legal action against a Defaulting Limited Partner to collect the Capital Contributions due to the Partnership plus legal fees and other costs, expenses and liabilities incurred by the Partnership in connection with the Default, as well as a late fee on the defaulted amount and any other amounts not timely paid in an amount to be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner, for each day all or any portion of such amounts are outstanding. In addition, a Defaulting Limited Partner may, at the discretion of the General Partner, with respect to all or some of its Interest, be subject to any (or any combination) of the following remedies: (i) having its Capital Account frozen, (ii) having to bear up to the full amount of any losses incurred by the Partnership due to its Default, to the extent of its Capital Account, but not share in any income or gain, (iii) being prohibited from sharing in any future Capital Call with respect to its Capital Commitment, (iv) having its Interest sold or transferred to any other person or persons who may be admitted as a substitute Limited Partner (including the General Partner or one of its Affiliates or in a transaction in which the General Partner or one of its Affiliates is acting as agent or principal) at a price equal to the value of such Interest based on the Partnership’s most recent valuation, or at whatever price or terms, in the General Partner’s reasonable discretion (with none of the proceeds, if any, of such sale inuring to the benefit of the Defaulting Limited Partner), and allowing the transferee of such Interest to assume the Defaulting Limited Partner’s unfunded Capital Commitment, (v) having its Interest reallocated among non-Defaulting Limited Partners based on the value of such Interest as of the Partnership’s most recent valuation, or on terms established by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion, (vi) having its obligations to pay its pro rata share of organizational and other partnership expenses continue as if the Default had not occurred, (vii) having its remaining unfunded Capital Commitment accelerated, (viii)

having amounts otherwise distributable to it applied in satisfaction of any amounts payable by it, (ix) having its distributions reduced to zero, (x) having the amount of such Default withdrawn from any account maintained by it with any affiliate of the General Partner to the extent of available funds thereof, (xi) having a lender (including the General Partner and its affiliates) lend to it all or any part of the funds required of the Defaulting Limited Partner, as further described in this Agreement, (xii) forfeiting its Interest in the Partnership in full, (xiii) diluting the Defaulting Limited Partner’s Percentage Interest in the Partnership; and/or (xiv) being subject to any other remedy available at law or in equity to the Partnership. d) The General Partner reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to implement any one or a combination of the above remedies, including remedies that may benefit the General Partner and its Affiliates to the exclusion of the Partnership or any non-Defaulting Limited Partners. Each Partner acknowledges by its execution hereof that the remedies provided in this Section 5.6 are an effective and reasonable means to insure the Partnership can satisfy its obligations, and are not intended as a penalty. e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with a Capital Call made for the purposes of funding New Acquisitions in accordance with Section 3.2, if the Defaulting Limited Partner is a Non-Consenting Limited Partner, only the remedies set forth in Sections 5.6(b)(i) and 5.6(c)(xiii) shall be available to the Partnership. 5.7 Nature of Interests. Interests shall be deemed to be personal property giving only the rights, powers, authority, privileges and preferences provided in this Agreement, notwithstanding the nature of the property held by the Partnership. 5.8 Nonassessability of Interests. Each Interest, when issued and fully paid for in accordance with the provisions of the related Subscription Agreement, shall be fully paid and nonassessable, and neither the Partnership nor any officer, employee or agent of the Partnership shall have the right, power or authority, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, to call upon such Limited Partner to pay any sum of money


from the date of such distribution at a floating rate determined by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion, irrespective of whether the event or circumstance giving rise to such miscalculation was known or unknown to the General Partner or such Partner at the time of such distribution. d) Without limiting the scope of Section 5.8(c), the General Partner may determine to treat any liability or expenditure of the Partnership which becomes fixed or is incurred in an Accounting Period after the Accounting Period in which the event or circumstance (whether known or unknown) giving rise to such liability or expenditure occurred (the “Prior Accounting Period”) as either (i) arising in the Accounting Period in which such liability becomes fixed or such expenditure is incurred or (ii) arising in such Prior Accounting Period, in which latter case such liability or expenditure shall be charged to Persons who were Partners during such Prior Accounting Period (whether or not such Persons are Partners during the Accounting Period in which such liability is fixed or such expenditure is incurred) in accordance with the Opening Balances of their Capital Accounts as of the beginning of such Prior Accounting Period, and the General Partner may require a Partner or former Partner to: (A) return to the Partnership amounts previously distributed to such Person by the Partnership to the extent of such Person’s share of any liabilities of the Partnership arising out of events or circumstances occurring during any Accounting Period in which such Person was a Partner (determined in accordance with the Opening Balance of such Person’s Capital Account as of the beginning of such Accounting Period) and (B) pay interest on such repayment, accruing from the time such Person received such distribution, at a floating rate determined by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion. e) If a Partner receives a distribution from the Partnership in an amount less than the amount to which such Partner was entitled under this Agreement because the Net Assets attributable to such Partner’s Capital Account were miscalculated, the Partnership shall, if the General Partner determines such amount

whatsoever in respect of such Interest, whether in the form of a Capital Contribution, a loan or otherwise, other than that which such Limited Partner has agreed to pay by way of such Subscription Agreement or has otherwise expressly agreed to pay pursuant to Section 5.5. However, each Partner, including each Limited Partner, shall be required to return to the Partnership amounts previously distributed to it by the Partnership as follows: a) Each Partner (regardless of whether such Person remains a Partner) who receives any amount distributed by the Partnership in violation of the Act shall be liable to the Partnership for the return of such amount, together with interest thereon from the date of such distribution at a floating rate determined by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion, notwithstanding that such Partner had no knowledge of such violation at the time of its receipt of such amount. Subject to the provisions of the Act, the General Partner may compromise or waive any such liability on such terms and subject to such conditions as the General Partner may determine. This Section 5.8(a) shall not apply to distributions made pursuant to Section 11.4. b) A Person who receives any amount distributed by the Partnership in violation of the Act shall be liable to the Partnership for the return of such amount, together with interest thereon from the date of such distribution at a floating rate determined by the Liquidator in its reasonable discretion, notwithstanding that such Person had no knowledge of such violation at the time of its receipt of such amount. Subject to the provisions of the Act, the Liquidator may compromise or waive any such liability on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Liquidator may determine. c) Each Partner (regardless of whether such Person remains a Partner) who receives any amount distributed by the Partnership in excess of the amount to which such Limited Partner was entitled under this Agreement because the Net Assets attributable to such Limited Partner’s Capital Account were miscalculated, shall be liable to the Partnership for the return of such amount, together with interest thereon

is material, pay the amount of such difference to such Partner, together with interest thereon from the date of such distribution at a floating rate determined by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion. f) Each Limited Partner shall remain liable to the Partnership for the time period set forth in Section 9.3, in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Limited Partner’s Capital Withdrawals (and distributions made to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 11.4) to the extent necessary to enable the Partnership to satisfy its Indemnification Obligations. Each Limited Partner’s liability under this Section 5.8(f) shall be in the proportion that the amount of such Limited Partner’s Capital Withdrawals (and distributions made to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 11.4) bears to all Limited Partner Capital Withdrawals (and distributions made to all Limited Partners pursuant to Section 11.4). g) The General Partner may, to the extent necessary to settle the liabilities described in this Section 5, either appropriately adjust the Capital Accounts of the appropriate Partner(s) downward or upward to reflect amounts due from or owing to such Partner(s), as the case may be, or cause the Partnership to request payments from or make payments to the appropriate Partner(s) or former Partner(s). The General Partner shall not be required to make any such downward adjustment or request for payment unless failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on the Partnership. It shall be conclusively presumed that any failure to make any such downward adjustment or request for payment shall not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership if the amount in question is less than one percent (1%) of the amount of Net Assets at the time contemplated for such adjustment or request. 5.9 Ownership of Interests. The ownership of Interests shall be recorded on the books and records of the Partnership, and no certificates certifying the ownership of Interests shall be issued except as the General Partner may determine from time to time. 5.10 Transfers of Interests. a) Restrictions on Transfer. i) No Limited Partner may Transfer an Interest, or

48

pro rata share (based on Capital Contributions) of the Partnership’s economic profits, both realized and unrealized, and debit such Account with (a) any distributions to such Limited Partner from such Account, (b) such Account’s pro rata share (based on Capital Contributions) of the Partnership’s economic losses, both realized and unrealized, (c) such Account’s pro rata share of the Partnership’s expenses, (d) the Management Fees charged against such Account and paid to the General Partner, if any, and (e) any carried interest charged against such Account and allocated to the General Partner. 7.2 Closing Balances; Allocation of Profits and Losses for Financial Purposes.

ii) to the extent that, at law or in equity, a General Partner Associate (other than the General Partner) has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, such General Partner Associate shall not be liable for monetary or other damages to the Partnership or such Limited Partner for such General Partner Associate’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement or for losses sustained or liabilities incurred by the Partnership or such Limited Partner as a result of errors in judgment on the part of such General Partner Associate, or any act or omission of such General Partner Associate, if such losses or liabilities were

information to a non-Partner would likely have a material adverse effect upon the Partnership, a Partner, or an investment of the Partnership. b) So long as the General Partner acts pursuant to this Section 8.7 such action by the General Partner shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or of any duty stated or implied in law or equity provided, however, that any such actions taken or not taken by the General Partner under this Section 8.7 were taken in good faith.

9.2 Indemnification. a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership shall indemnify each General Partner Associate and the Liquidator (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses, except to the extent that it is Judicially Determined that an act or omission of such General Partner Associate or Liquidator, as the case may be, was the primary cause of such Losses and that such General Partner Associate or Liquidator, as the case may be, is not entitled to be exculpated from such Losses pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.1. b) Reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party or witness in a Proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by such Indemnitee of such Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership, as stated in Section 9.2(a), has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it shall ultimately be Judicially Determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder. c) The indemnification provided by this Section 9.2 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to a General Partner Associate or the Liquidator, as the case may be, who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall also be for the benefit of such Indemnitee’s personal representatives, but shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. This subsection (c), however, shall not be construed to entitle any Indemnitee to receive any amount under the provisions of this Article IX in respect of any Losses to the extent that, after giving effect to the receipt of such amount and the receipt by such Indemnitee of any other payments in respect of such Losses, from whatever source or sources, such Indemnitee shall have recovered an aggregate amount in excess of such Losses. d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification of an Indemnitee shall be permitted hereunder to the 58

extent such indemnification would be inconsistent with the requirements of the Securities Laws or of any other applicable law. e) The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance, at its own cost and expense, on behalf of any one or more Persons against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person(s) in connection with the activities of the Partnership, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify any such Person(s) against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. f) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 9.2 solely because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies. g) Any Indemnitee entitled to indemnification hereunder shall use its reasonable best efforts to minimize the amount of any claim for indemnification hereunder. 9.3 Indemnification Period. Indemnification Obligations shall remain in effect for a period of two years after the termination of the Partnership; except that Indemnification Obligations shall continue as to any Loss of which any Indemnitee shall have given Notification to the Partnership on or prior to the date such Indemnification Obligation would otherwise terminate in accordance with this Section 9.3, until it is Judicially Determined that the Partnership is not liable for such Loss.

ARTICLE X AMENDMENT; CONSENTS FOR OTHER PURPOSES 10.1 Amendments. a) Subject to Section 10.1(b), the General Partner may amend this Agreement at any time and from time to time, whether by changing any one or more of the provisions hereof, removing any one or more provisions herefrom or adding one or more provisions hereto: i) without obtaining the authorization, approval, agreement, consent or vote of any Limited Partner, for such purpose or purposes as the General Partner may reasonably determine to be necessary, appropriate, advisable or convenient


10.2 Consents for Other Purposes. The General Partner may from time to time determine to submit to the Partnership, for its approval, actions or practices that are not required to be approved by the Partnership or the Limited Partners pursuant to this Agreement (including transactions subject to the provisions of Section 206(3) of the Investment Advisers Act). Any such action or practice will be deemed to have been approved by the Partnership if: (a) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed taking of such action or implementation of such practice, the General Partner gives Notification to the Limited Partners describing such action or practice in reasonable detail and (b) prior to the taking of such action or implementation of such practice, the General Partner obtains the Consent of the Partnership to such action or practice. 10.3 Waiver. The General Partner has general authority, without any obligation to give Notification to any Limited Partner, to waive any provision of this Agreement in any respect provided that such waiver, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the General Partner, does not have and cannot reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Partnership or any Limited Partner. No waiver of any Management Fee in respect of any one or more Capital Accounts, whether in whole or in part, and no waiver of the conditions otherwise applicable to making Capital Withdrawals from any one or more Capital Accounts, shall, in and of itself, be deemed to have a material adverse effect on the Partnership or on any Limited Partner to whom such a waiver is not granted.

ARTICLE XI WINDING UP, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION 11.1 Events Causing Wind Up. The term and business of the Partnership shall be terminated and the Partnership shall be wound up upon the first to occur of the following events, and, except as otherwise required by the Act or other applicable law, no other event shall cause the wind up of the Partnership: a) subject to Section 3.2, the General Partner declares in writing that the Partnership shall be wound up and gives Notification of such declaration to the Limited Partners; 59

C O NFID E NTIAL PR IVATE O FFE R ING M E M O R AND U M

b) an Event of Withdrawal or the Bankruptcy of the General Partner; provided, however, that no such Event of Withdrawal or Bankruptcy shall cause the termination of the Partnership if at the time of such Event of Withdrawal or Bankruptcy there is at least one other general partner of the Partnership that has been admitted to the Partnership as a general partner pursuant to Section 3.4(b) and such other general partner carries on the business of the Partnership (it being understood and agreed that this Agreement shall be construed to permit the business of the Partnership to be carried on by such other general partner in the event of an Event of Withdrawal or the Bankruptcy of the General Partner); or c) an order is made by the courts of the Cayman Islands for the winding up of the Partnership under the Act. 11.2 Winding Up. If the Partnership is to be wound up pursuant to Section 11.1, its business and affairs shall be wound up as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter in the manner set forth below. a) The winding up of the business and affairs of the Partnership shall be carried out by a liquidator (the “Liquidator”). Unless otherwise required by law, the Liquidator shall be the General Partner or a Person selected by the General Partner (unless the Partnership is terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.1(c), in which case the Liquidator shall be a person selected by a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners determined as of the beginning of the Accounting Period during which the decree is entered). b) The Liquidator shall possess full and exclusive right, power and authority, in the name of and for and on behalf of the Partnership, to take such actions as are permitted to be taken by a liquidator under the Act, to the extent the Liquidator reasonably determines such actions are necessary, appropriate, advisable or convenient to effect the orderly winding up of the Partnership’s business and affairs. (c) The winding up of the Partnership shall not commence, unless the General Partner or the Liquidator, as the case may be, resolves or determines otherwise, until notice of winding-up has been filed with the Registrar under the Act. 11.3 Compensation of Liquidator. The Liquidator shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation 60

from the Partnership, but only from the Partnership’s assets, for its services as liquidator. 11.4 Distribution of Property and Proceeds of Sale Thereof. a) Upon completion of all desired sales, retirements and other dispositions of Partnership Property on behalf of the Partnership, the Liquidator shall, in accordance with the provisions of the Act, distribute the net proceeds of such sales, retirements and dispositions, and any Partnership Property that is to be distributed in-kind, in the following order of priority: i) to pay or make reasonable provision for the payment of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership to creditors of the Partnership, including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Partners and former Partners who are creditors of the Partnership (other than liabilities for distributions to Partners and former Partners under the Act); ii) to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership to Partners and former Partners for distributions under the Act; iii) to the Preferred Partners, to the extent of their Adjusted Capital Contributions and any accrued but unpaid Preferred Partner Return; and iv) to the Common Partners, as provided in Section 6.6(a)(iii). b) All distributions required under this Section 11.4(a) shall be at such time as the Liquidator deems appropriate. c) Pursuant to the provisions of the Act, if there are sufficient assets to satisfy the claims of all priority groups specified above, such claims shall be paid in full and any such provision for payment shall be made in full. If there are sufficient assets to satisfy the claims of one or more but not all priority groups specified above, the claims of the highest priority groups that may be paid or provided for in full shall be paid or provided for in full, before paying or providing for any claims of a lower priority group. If there are insufficient assets to pay or provide for the claims of a particular priority group specified above, such claims shall be paid or provided for ratably to the claimants in such group to the extent of the assets available to pay such claims. d) Amounts in reserves established by the Liquidator pursuant to the Act shall be paid to creditors of the


ARTICLE XII MISCELLANEOUS 12.1 Construction and Governing Law. a) This Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and any documents evidencing substitute Management Fee arrangements, substitute withdrawal arrangements, or substitute carried interest arrangements contain the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, arrangements, inducements or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, between or among any of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

b) All provisions of this Agreement and the Subscription Agreements shall be governed by and construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands without regard to principles of conflict of laws which would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. c) Any dispute, controversy or question of interpretation arising under, out of, in connection with or in relation to this Agreement or any amendments hereof, or any breach or default hereunder (a “Dispute”), shall be resolved and finally determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the international arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). There shall be one independent arbitrator, to be selected by the parties. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the AAA rules. The arbitration shall be held in Miami, Florida, and in the English language. Any award rendered in such proceedings shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and judgment may be entered thereon in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Neither the existence of any dispute, controversy or claim nor the fact that arbitration is pending shall relieve any party of its respective obligations under this Agreement. Each party hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the arbitration panel described above and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such arbitration in the foregoing forum. In the event of any such arbitration, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other parties hereto all costs and expenses which the prevailing party incurs in connection with such arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred before arbitration, during arbitration or on appeal. d) In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be found or held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid,

Partnership as set forth in Section 11.4(a)(i).Anyamounts remaining in such reserves after such payments shall be paid as provided in Sections 11.4(a)(ii) and (iii). 11.5 Final Accounts.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that, upon completion of the winding up of the business and affairs of the Partnership, there is a deficit in any Partner’s Capital Account, such deficit shall not be an asset of the Partnership and such Partner shall not be obligated to contribute such amount to the Partnership to bring the balance of such Capital Account to zero. 11.7 Statutory Winding-Up, Liquidation and Dissolution. Upon completion of the foregoing winding up and liquidation procedures, the General Partner or the Liquidator, as the case may be, shall file a notice of dissolution with the Registrar in accordance with the Act, whereupon the Partnership shall dissolve. The Limited Partners may not apply to the court for an order that the Partnership be wound up, liquidated and dissolved.

illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions of this Agreement in that or any other jurisdiction, unless such a construction would be unreasonable. If the General Partner shall determine, with the advice of reputable counsel, that any provision of this Agreement is in conflict with (A) the Securities Laws or (B) other applicable laws, rules, regulations or orders, whether generally or in a particular application, then the conflicting provision or such particular application thereof, as the case may be, shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this Agreement for so long as such conflict exists (provided, however, that such determination shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any lawful application of any provision, or render invalid or improper any action taken or omitted prior to such determination). In construing the meaning or application of the Securities Laws, counsel to the General Partner may consider the effect of any applicable order or interpretive release issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any applicable “no action” or interpretive position issued by the staff of such Commission, that modifies or interprets the Securities Laws. e) If any provision of this Agreement appears to the General Partner to be ambiguous, or inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner may construe such provision in such manner as it reasonably may determine in good faith, and such construction shall be conclusive and binding as to the meaning to be given to such provision. f) In any case in this Agreement where it is provided that the General Partner may take, approve or agree to a particular action, do a particular thing, or make a particular designation or determination, and such case does not expressly require Limited Partner authorization, approval, agreement or consent or the vote of Limited Partners, the General Partner shall possess full right, power and authority to take, approve or agree to such action, to do such thing, or to make such designation or determination, without obtaining any prior or subsequent authorization, approval, agreement, consent or vote of any Limited Partner (and the General Partner may take, approve or agree to such action, do such thing, or make such

designation or determination, in its sole and absolute discretion on such terms and in such manner as it may deem appropriate), unless otherwise expressly required by this Agreement or by applicable law. g) Each reference in this Agreement to a particular statute or regulation, or provision thereof, shall be deemed to refer to such statute or regulation, or provision thereof, as amended from time to time, or to any superseding statute or regulation, or provision thereof, as is from time to time in effect, as well as to applicable regulations then in effect thereunder. h) In computing the number of days for purposes of this Agreement, all days shall be counted, including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays; provided, however, that if the final day of any time period falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the final day of such time period shall be deemed to be the next Business Day. i) Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, references in this Agreement to Articles and Sections are to Articles and Sections of this Agreement. The headings to Articles and Sections are for convenience of reference only and shall not form part of or affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. j) Where appropriate, each definition and pronoun in this Agreement includes the singular and the plural, and reference to the neuter gender includes the masculine and feminine, and vice versa. As used in this Agreement, the word “including” shall mean “including without limitation,” and the word “or” is not exclusive. k) The express provisions of this Agreement control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the provisions hereof. l) In applying the provisions of this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that, regardless of where this Agreement may be executed by a party hereto, this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties pursuant to the Act, and that the parties intend that the provisions of this Agreement be given full force and effect pursuant to the principles set forth in the Act. Without limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, to the extent this Agreement modifies or nullifies any provision of the Act that would apply in the absence of such modification or nullification, as permitted by the Act (any such provision of the Act being referred to herein as a


together constitute one and the same instrument. Any writing, including a Subscription Agreement, that has been duly executed by a Person in which such Person has agreed to be bound hereby as a Limited Partner shall be considered a counterpart for purposes of the foregoing. 12.4 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties (and Indemnitees as provided under Article IX) and their respective personal representatives. 12.5 Deed. This Agreement has been executed as a deed by the parties and is delivered and takes effect on the date set out at the beginning of this Agreement. 12.6 Remedies for Breach; Effect of Waiver or Consent. A waiver or consent, express or implied, of or to any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of her/his duties with respect to the Partnership is not a consent to or waiver of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other duties of that Person with respect to the Partnership. Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any other Person or to declare any other Person in default with respect to the Partnership, irrespective of how long that failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute of limitations period has run. 12.7 AEOI and Related Compliance Matters. a) Each Limited Partner acknowledges that the Partnership is or will be obliged to comply with AEOI Legislation (including in order to avoid the potential imposition of withholding tax on certain payments made to or by the Partnership) and covenants and agrees on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, without further consideration, to promptly prepare, execute, acknowledge, file, record, publish and deliver such other information, representations, certificates, statements, instruments, documents, tax forms, waivers and statements as may be requested by the General Partner or its agents from time to time in their sole discretion in connection with AEOI Legislation relating to such Limited Partner (or its direct or indirect owners or account holders), specifically, but not limited to, forms and documentation which the Partnership, the 63

“default” provision), such modification or nullification shall apply in preference to such “default” provision. 12.2 Power of Attorney. Each Limited Partner hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints each and every General Partner, with full power of substitution, its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, and empowers and authorizes such attorney, in the name, place, and stead of such Limited Partner, to make, execute, sign, swear to, acknowledge and file in all necessary or appropriate places all documents relating to the Partnership and its activities, including, but not limited to: (a) the Partnership Agreement and any amendments thereto; (b) any applications, forms, certificates, statements, reports, or other documents that may be requested or required by any U.S. federal, state, foreign, local or other governmental agency, securities exchange, securities association, self-regulatory organization, or similar institution and that are deemed necessary or advisable by the General Partner; (c) any other instrument that may be required to be filed or recorded in any U.S. state or county or foreign jurisdiction, or by any governmental agency, or that the General Partner deems advisable to file or record, including, without limitation, certificates of assumed name; (d) any documents that may be required to effect the continuation of the Partnership, the admission of additional Limited Partners, the admission of substitute Limited Partners, or the termination or dissolution of the Partnership, provided such continuation, admission, termination or dissolution are in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement; (e) to make certain elections contained in any applicable law governing taxation of limited partnerships; and (f) to perform any and all other ministerial duties or functions necessary for the conduct of the business of the Partnership; hereby ratifying and confirming all actions that may be taken by said attorney-in-fact pursuant to this Section 12.2. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall continue notwithstanding the subsequent incapacity of the Limited Partner. 12.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original as against any party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall

Each Limited Partner, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, agrees to the foregoing disclosure and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, waives, and/or shall cooperate with the Partnership, the General Partner and its or their agents to obtain a waiver of, the provisions of any applicable laws which would, absent a waiver (i) prohibit the disclosure by the Partnership, the General Partner or its or their agents of the information or documentation requested from the Limited Partner pursuant to this clause, or (ii) prohibit the reporting of financial or account information by the Partnership, the General Partner or its or their agents required pursuant to the AEOI Legislation, or (iii) otherwise prevent compliance by the Partnership,

the General Partner or its or their agents with its or their obligations under the AEOI Legislation. c) If any Limited Partner fails to or does not timely provide the AEOI Legislation information, representation and/or other documentation or additional waiver(s) requested by the Partnership, the General Partner or its or their respective agents, or the material provided is in any way misleading, as applicable, whether or not that actually leads to compliance failures by the Partnership, or a risk of the Partnership or its investors being subject to withholding tax (directly or indirectly) under AEOI Legislation, the General Partner shall have full authority to take such steps (whether immediately or at such other time as the General Partner determines in its discretion) as the General Partner determines in its sole discretion are necessary or advisable to mitigate the consequences of such Limited Partner’s non-compliance including, without limitation (and whether separately or by a combination and in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity): (i) the allocation of any AEOI Legislation withholding taxes attributable to such noncompliance to the relevant non-compliant Limited Partner; (ii) termination of the non-compliant Limited Partner’s investment and requiring a compulsory withdrawal of all or a portion of the non-compliant Limited Partner’s investment; (iii) prohibiting in whole or part the non-compliant Limited Partner from participating in additional investments; (iv) holding back from any distributions proceeds or deducting from the non-compliant Limited Partner’s partnership accounts and retaining amounts sufficient to satisfy the Limited Partner’s AEOI Legislation related indemnity provisions under this Agreement and (v) without limitation to the foregoing, taking any of the actions contemplated in this Agreement with respect to such non-compliant Limited Partner as if such Limited Partner had failed to make a Capital Contribution required under this Agreement. d) Without limitation to the foregoing, in the event any amounts are withheld from payments made to the Partnership (or any entity in which the Partnership holds an interest) pursuant to AEOI Legislation,


12.8 No Third Party Beneficiaries. A Person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right to enforce directly any term of this Agreement, subject to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Law, 2014 of the Cayman Islands or any law having similar effect. 12.9 Electronic Transactions Law and Interpretation. In this Agreement: a) words importing the singular number include the plural number and vice versa; b) “written” and “in writing” include all modes of representing or reproducing words in visible form, including in the form of an Electronic Record (as defined in the Electronic Transactions Law (2003 Revision) (the “Electronic Transactions Law”)); c) “shall” shall be construed as imperative and “may” shall be construed as permissive; d) references to provisions of any law or regulation shall be construed as references to those provisions as amended, modified, re-enacted or replaced; e) any phrase introduced by the terms “including”, “include”, “in particular” or any similar expression shall be construed as illustrative and shall not limit the sense of the words preceding those terms; f) the term “and/or” is used herein to mean both “and” as well as “or.” The use of “and/or” in certain contexts in no respects qualifies or modifies the use of the terms “and” or “or” in others. The term “or” shall not be interpreted to be exclusive and the term “and” shall not be interpreted to require the conjunctive (in each case, unless the context otherwise requires); g) any requirements as to delivery under this Agreement include delivery in the form of an Electronic Record; h) any requirements as to execution or signature under this Agreement including the execution of this Agreement itself can be satisfied in the form of an electronic signature as defined in the Electronic Transactions Law; and i) sections 8 and 19(3) of the Electronic Transactions Law shall not apply. [Signatures on following page.]

any such withheld taxes shall, at the discretion of the General Partner and to the extent reasonably possible, be allocated or apportioned to those Limited Partners whose failure to provide information or otherwise cooperate with the Partnership with respect to AEOI Legislation results (directly or indirectly) in the imposition of such withheld taxes. e) Each Limited Partner acknowledges that the General Partner will determine, in its sole discretion, whether and how to comply with AEOI Legislation, and any such determinations shall include, but not be limited to, an assessment of the possible burden to Limited Partners, the Partnership, the General Partner and any agents of the Partnership of timely collecting information and/or documentation. f) Each Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no claim against the Partnership, the General Partner or any of the Partnership’s or General Partner’s agents, or any other Limited Partner, investor, or any partner, member, Limited Partner, director, manager, officer, employee, delegate, agent, affiliate, executor, heir, assign, successor or other legal representative of any of the foregoing persons, for any damages or liabilities attributable to any AEOI Legislation compliance related determinations pursuant to this clause and each Limited Partner agrees to indemnify the foregoing and hold them harmless against any AEOI Legislation related liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages, expenses (including legal expenses), penalties or taxes which such persons may incur as a result of any action or inaction (directly or indirectly) of the Limited Partner (or any related person) in connection with its failure to comply with its AEOI Legislation related obligations to the Partnership, the General Partner or its or their respective agents. The foregoing exculpation and indemnity provisions shall be in addition to and supplement any other exculpation and indemnity provided under this Agreement or a Limited Partner’s Subscription Agreement and shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, survive the Limited Partner’s death, bankruptcy, insolvency or any similar proceedings or any disposition of its interest in the Partnership.

For the avoidance of doubt, the admission of an Additional General Partner shall not, in and of itself, be a cause for the removal of any General Partner.

To the extent that the Partnership has outstanding obligations under a borrowing secured by the available Capital Commitments of the Limited Partners hereunder, each Limited Partner shall be obligated to fund any portion of its available Capital Commitment without defense, counterclaim or offset of any kind; provided, that such agreement to fund shall not act as a waiver of any claim that such Limited Partner may have against any other Limited Partner or the Partnership. In the event that, as a result of any such pledge, mortgage, assignment, transfer or grant of security interest, a Limited Partner makes a payment directly to a Credit Provider as required pursuant thereto, such payment shall be deemed to be a Capital Contribution of such Limited Partner to the Partnership. 3.8 Activities of the General Partner and Affiliates; Conflicts of Interest.

Neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall have any rights or obligations by virtue of this Agreement in and to such independent ventures and activities or the income or profits derived therefrom. 3.9

The General Partner may at any time cause some or all of the Limited Partners to fund a portion of their Capital Commitments in the Partnership through one or more alternative investment vehicles if the General Partner determines that, based on legal, tax, regulatory or other similar considerations, it is in the best interests of the Partnership or some or all of its Limited Partners that all or part of an investment be made through any such alternative investment vehicle. (b) Separate Investment Vehicles. The General Partner will have the right to direct Capital Contributions of some or all of the Limited Partners to be effected through one or more separate investment vehicles if, in the good faith determination of the General Partner, the use of such vehicles would allow the Partnership to overcome legal, tax, regulatory or other constraints and/or facilitate participation in certain types of investments. Any such vehicles will contain provisions substantially comparable to those of the Partnership and will be managed by the General Partner or an affiliate thereof.

(d) a material violation of applicable Securities Laws by the General Partner that has a material adverse effect on the Partnership and that is not cured by the General Partner within 90 calendar days of the General Partner becoming aware of such material violation (it being understood that the violation shall be deemed cured if the General Partner causes the employment of the individual responsible for the violation to be terminated). In the event that the General Partner is removed in accordance with this Section 4.4, (i) no further amounts shall be payable by the Partnership to the General Partner except for the payment and issuance of all accrued but unpaid Management Fees, and accrued but unissued Carried Interest, respectively, and (ii) the Limited Partners may designate a replacement General Partner by a vote of a Majority in Interest, who will thereafter have the powers and rights of the General Partner under this Agreement, whereupon the outgoing General Partner shall be divested of all such rights, but the General Partner shall retain its Partnership Interest and any Carried Interest which has been issued to the General Partner as of the date of the General Partner’s removal.

5.2

Issuance and Sale of Interests.

(a) The General Partner is currently the owner of 9,400 Common Interests of the Partnership. At the Common Interest Closing, AFIC intends to sell and transfer at least 5,600 Common Interests at a price of US$1,000 per Common Interest to the General Partner. At the Common Interest Closing, AFIC intends to sell and transfer up to 55,000 Common Interests at an initial price of US$1,000 per Common Interest to investors that execute Subscription Agreements, and such investors shall be admitted as Limited Partners. (b) AFIC intends to sell up to 40,000 Preferred Interests to investors at a price of US$1,000 per Preferred Interest, at a closing to be held pursuant to Section 5.3 below. (c) The General Partner is authorized to cause the Partnership to offer, sell and issue Interests, and to admit Persons to the Partnership as Limited Partners in connection therewith, in such manner and at such time or times as the General Partner may determine, except that the General Partner may not cause the Partnership to offer, sell or issue Interests in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement or the Memorandum in effect at the relevant time, or to any Person who has failed to execute a Subscription Agreement or other document under which such Person has agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Limited Partner. Admission of a new Limited Partner shall not be cause for termination of the Partnership. Upon the admission of each additional Limited Partner to the Partnership (including, without limitation, by way of a transfer in accordance with Sections 5.2(a) and 5.10), the General Partner shall execute an amendment to this Agreement modifying Exhibit A hereto as appropriate to reflect the admission of such Limited Partner. For the avoidance of any doubt, no consent of any other Limited Partner shall be required for the admission of such Limited Partner or for any corresponding amendment to this Agreement. (d) After the date of this Agreement, no Person shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner unless such admission is effected in accordance with Section 5.2(a) or (b) or Section 5.10(d)(ii)(A). (e) Each Person whose Subscription Agreement has been accepted by the General Partner shall, to the extent the General Partner has agreed to accept a Capital Contribution or Capital Contributions under such Subscription Agreement, make such Capital Contribution or Capital Contributions in cash in immediately available funds (unless the General Partner expressly agrees otherwise) at the time(s) and place(s) set forth in such Subscription Agreement or in a Notification given to such Person pursuant to such Subscription Agreement. (f) Limited Partners shall not be residents or citizens of the United States, unless such requirement is waived by the General Partner. (g) The General Partner may establish a Capital Account for a Limited Partner pursuant to Section 7.1(a) and deem a Capital Contribution to have been made to such Capital Account as of the beginning of an Accounting Period even though such Capital Contribution is received by the Partnership after the first Business Day of such Accounting Period if the General Partner determines that deeming such Capital Contribution to have been made as of the beginning of such Accounting Period does not have and cannot reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Limited Partners generally. In that event, the General Partner may (but shall not be required to) charge the Opening Balance of such Capital Account (determined as of the beginning of such Accounting Period), or require such Limited Partner to pay, interest for the period from the beginning of such

MIADOCS 20145569 8 Z9900.6930

19


Accounting Period to the date such Capital Contribution is actually received by the Partnership. Any interest charged to (or paid by) such Limited Partner shall be credited pro rata to the Opening Balances of all other Capital Accounts (determined as of beginning of such Accounting Period). All interest required to be paid or charged under this Section 5.2(f) will be at a floating rate determined by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion.

(h) A Person who has been admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner and who wishes to make a Capital Contribution not required to be made under such Person’s Subscription Agreement may do so only upon the approval of the General Partner. (i) Subject to the provisions of the Act, the General Partner may compromise or waive any obligation a Limited Partner may have to the Partnership under its Subscription Agreement (including an obligation to make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership) or otherwise, on such terms and subject to such conditions as the General Partner may determine. 5.3

Closings.

(a) The initial subscription period for the sale of Common Interests will close on or before June 30, 2020 (such date to be the “Common Interest Closing”). The initial subscription period for the sale of Preferred Interests will close on November 30, 2020 (such date to be the “Initial Preferred Interest Closing”). The General Partner and AFIC are entitled, at their sole discretion, to continue to accept subscriptions for Preferred Interests and to hold one or more subsequent closings (each a “Subsequent Closing”). The final closing of Preferred Interests will occur on the earlier of (i) the date on which AFIC sells all of its Preferred Interests, or (ii) five (5) months after the Initial Preferred Interest Closing (the “Final Preferred Interest Closing”). (b) After AFIC ceases offering its Interests to investors, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to offer, sell and issue Common and/or Preferred Interests to new investors, for the purpose of raising funds to pay Partnership expenses or to acquire additional businesses. Such Interests shall be issued at such price(s) and on such terms as may be reasonably determined by the General Partner. Contributions will be credited to the Partnership on such day or days as the General Partner may from time to time determine. The General Partner may elect to reject any contribution in its discretion. There is no maximum amount of Partnership Interests that may be outstanding from time to time. However, the General Partner may, in its discretion, limit the amount of capital the Partnership may accept from investors. (c) The General Partner may suspend the offering of Interests from time to time or terminate the offering of Interests at any time in its discretion. 5.4

Capital Commitments.

(a) The minimum Capital Commitment to be made to the Partnership by any investor is US$500,000 (in either Common Interests, Preferred Interests or both), subject to the discretion of the General Partner to accept a Capital Commitment of a lesser amount or impose a higher minimum Capital Commitment. (b) Each Limited Partner agrees to make Capital Contributions only in an aggregate amount not exceeding its Capital Commitment, except as expressly provided otherwise in

MIADOCS 20145569 8 Z9900.6930

20


this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Limited Partner may be required to make Capital Contributions to the Partnership in an amount in excess of its Capital Commitment (i) for any Partnership expenses, including, without limitation, the Management Fee or any tax payments (or interest or penalties associated therewith) made on behalf of such Limited Partner, or (ii) to cover a Defaulting Limited Partner’s Capital Contribution to the Partnership or to acquire such Defaulting Limited Partner’s Interest in the Partnership.

5.5 Capital Contributions and Capital Calls. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, Capital Contributions shall be made in accordance with separate Capital Calls, in amounts determined by the General Partner in accordance with the following terms and conditions: (a) Capital Contributions. Each Limited Partner shall pay AFIC for its Interests at the time of subscription. Thereafter, additional Capital Contributions may be required from Common Partners from time to time to allow the Partnership to fund new investments, meet expenses and liabilities of the Partnership, or to establish and maintain cash reserves for such purposes and in such amounts as the General Partner deems necessary and appropriate. Any such additional Capital Contributions shall be requested by the General Partner in accordance with subsection (b). (b) Capital Calls. Subject to Section 3.2, if the Partnership requires additional funds, in the General Partner’s determination, the General Partner shall deliver to the Common Partners written notice of the Partnership’s need for additional capital. Capital Contributions will be due at such times and in such amounts as will be specified in such notice made by the General Partner; provided that in no event shall the Capital Contribution be due less than ten (10) days after the date of the Capital Call. In the event of any Capital Call made pursuant to this Section 5.5(b), the General Partner shall update the Partnership’s books and records to reflect an increase to each Common Partner’s Capital Commitment. Any failure by the General Partner to update the Partnership’s books and records shall not affect the Common Partners’ obligations to contribute additional capital to the Partnership under this Section 5.5. For the avoidance of doubt, only Common Partners shall be required to contribute additional capital to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 5.5(b). 5.6

Default on Capital Contributions.

(a) If any Limited Partner fails to make all or any portion of any Capital Contribution when due (a “Default”), then such Limited Partner may be designated by the General Partner as in default under this Agreement (a “Defaulting Limited Partner”), and such Limited Partner may be assessed a late fee or other charge (including, without limitation, interest) on such outstanding amount in an amount to be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner, for each day on which all or any portion of such Capital Contribution remains outstanding. (b) With respect to any Capital Contribution (or portion thereof) that is subject to a Default (the “Defaulted Amount”), the General Partner may (i) increase the Capital Contributions of the Limited Partners that have made their corresponding Capital Contributions, pro rata based on their Percentage Interests, to the extent necessary to fund the Defaulted Amount, and/or (ii) cause the Partnership to obtain (through a borrowing or otherwise) such amounts as are necessary to fund the Defaulted Amount, and the cost of obtaining such amounts may be assessed to the Defaulting Limited Partner provided that, in the event that the Partnership is unable to recover such amounts from the Defaulting Limited Partner, the Limited Partners may bear such amounts as partnership expenses.

MIADOCS 20145569 8 Z9900.6930

(c) The Partnership will have the right to bring legal action against a Defaulting Limited Partner to collect the Capital Contributions due to the Partnership plus legal fees and other costs, expenses and liabilities incurred by the Partnership in connection with the Default, as well as a late fee on the defaulted amount and any other amounts not timely paid in an amount to be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner, for each day all or any portion of such amounts are outstanding. In addition, a Defaulting Limited Partner may, at the discretion of the General Partner, with respect to all or some of its Interest, be subject to any (or any combination) of the following remedies: (i) having its Capital Account frozen, (ii) having to bear up to the full amount of any losses incurred by the Partnership due to its Default, to the extent of its Capital Account, but not share in any income or gain, (iii) being prohibited from sharing in any future Capital Call with respect to its Capital Commitment, (iv) having its Interest sold or transferred to any other person or persons who may be admitted as a substitute Limited Partner (including the General Partner or one of its Affiliates or in a transaction in which the General Partner or one of its Affiliates is acting as agent or principal) at a price equal to the value of such Interest based on the Partnership’s most recent valuation, or at whatever price or terms, in the General Partner’s reasonable discretion (with none of the proceeds, if any, of such sale inuring to the benefit of the Defaulting Limited Partner), and allowing the transferee of such Interest to assume the Defaulting Limited Partner’s unfunded Capital Commitment, (v) having its Interest reallocated among non-Defaulting Limited Partners based on the value of such Interest as of the Partnership’s most recent valuation, or on terms established by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion, (vi) having its obligations to pay its pro rata share of organizational and other partnership expenses continue as if the Default had not occurred, (vii) having its remaining unfunded Capital Commitment accelerated, (viii) having amounts otherwise distributable to it applied in satisfaction of any amounts payable by it, (ix) having its distributions reduced to zero, (x) having the amount of such Default withdrawn from any account maintained by it with any affiliate of the General Partner to the extent of available funds thereof, (xi) having a lender (including the General Partner and its affiliates) lend to it all or any part of the funds required of the Defaulting Limited Partner, as further described in this Agreement, (xii) forfeiting its Interest in the Partnership in full, (xiii) diluting the Defaulting Limited Partner’s Percentage Interest in the Partnership; and/or (xiv) being subject to any other remedy available at law or in equity to the Partnership. (d) The General Partner reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to implement any one or a combination of the above remedies, including remedies that may benefit the General Partner and its Affiliates to the exclusion of the Partnership or any non-Defaulting Limited Partners. Each Partner acknowledges by its execution hereof that the remedies provided in this Section 5.6 are an effective and reasonable means to insure the Partnership can satisfy its obligations, and are not intended as a penalty. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with a Capital Call made for the purposes of funding New Acquisitions in accordance with Section 3.2, if the Defaulting Limited Partner is a Non-Consenting Limited Partner, only the remedies set forth in Sections 5.6(b)(i) and 5.6(c)(xiii) shall be available to the Partnership. 5.7 Nature of Interests. Interests shall be deemed to be personal property giving only the rights, powers, authority, privileges and preferences provided in this Agreement, notwithstanding the nature of the property held by the Partnership. 5.8 Nonassessability of Interests. Each Interest, when issued and fully paid for in accordance with the provisions of the related Subscription Agreement, shall be fully paid and

MIADOCS 20145569 8 Z9900.6930

22


nonassessable, and neither the Partnership nor any officer, employee or agent of the Partnership shall have the right, power or authority, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, to call upon such Limited Partner to pay any sum of money whatsoever in respect of such Interest, whether in the form of a Capital Contribution, a loan or otherwise, other than that which such Limited Partner has agreed to pay by way of such Subscription Agreement or has otherwise expressly agreed to pay pursuant to Section 5.5. However, each Partner, including each Limited Partner, shall be required to return to the Partnership amounts previously distributed to it by the Partnership as follows: (a) Each Partner (regardless of whether such Person remains a Partner) who receives any amount distributed by the Partnership in violation of the Act shall be liable to the Partnership for the return of such amount, together with interest thereon from the date of such distribution at a floating rate determined by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion, notwithstanding that such Partner had no knowledge of such violation at the time of its receipt of such amount. Subject to the provisions of the Act, the General Partner may compromise or waive any such liability on such terms and subject to such conditions as the General Partner may determine. This Section 5.8(a) shall not apply to distributions made pursuant to Section 11.4. (b) A Person who receives any amount distributed by the Partnership in violation of the Act shall be liable to the Partnership for the return of such amount, together with interest thereon from the date of such distribution at a floating rate determined by the Liquidator in its reasonable discretion, notwithstanding that such Person had no knowledge of such violation at the time of its receipt of such amount. Subject to the provisions of the Act, the Liquidator may compromise or waive any such liability on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Liquidator may determine. (c) Each Partner (regardless of whether such Person remains a Partner) who receives any amount distributed by the Partnership in excess of the amount to which such Limited Partner was entitled under this Agreement because the Net Assets attributable to such Limited Partner’s Capital Account were miscalculated, shall be liable to the Partnership for the return of such amount, together with interest thereon from the date of such distribution at a floating rate determined by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion, irrespective of whether the event or circumstance giving rise to such miscalculation was known or unknown to the General Partner or such Partner at the time of such distribution. (d) Without limiting the scope of Section 5.8(c), the General Partner may determine to treat any liability or expenditure of the Partnership which becomes fixed or is incurred in an Accounting Period after the Accounting Period in which the event or circumstance (whether known or unknown) giving rise to such liability or expenditure occurred (the “Prior Accounting Period”) as either (i) arising in the Accounting Period in which such liability becomes fixed or such expenditure is incurred or (ii) arising in such Prior Accounting Period, in which latter case such liability or expenditure shall be charged to Persons who were Partners during such Prior Accounting Period (whether or not such Persons are Partners during the Accounting Period in which such liability is fixed or such expenditure is incurred) in accordance with the Opening Balances of their Capital Accounts as of the beginning of such Prior Accounting Period, and the General Partner may require a Partner or former Partner to: (A) return to the Partnership amounts previously distributed to such Person by the Partnership to the extent of such Person’s share of any

MIADOCS 20145569 8 Z9900.6930

23


liabilities of the Partnership arising out of events or circumstances occurring during any Accounting Period in which such Person was a Partner (determined in accordance with the Opening Balance of such Person’s Capital Account as of the beginning of such Accounting Period) and (B) pay interest on such repayment, accruing from the time such Person received such distribution, at a floating rate determined by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion. (e) If a Partner receives a distribution from the Partnership in an amount less than the amount to which such Partner was entitled under this Agreement because the Net Assets attributable to such Partner’s Capital Account were miscalculated, the Partnership shall, if the General Partner determines such amount is material, pay the amount of such difference to such Partner, together with interest thereon from the date of such distribution at a floating rate determined by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion. (f) Each Limited Partner shall remain liable to the Partnership for the time period set forth in Section 9.3, in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Limited Partner’s Capital Withdrawals (and distributions made to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 11.4) to the extent necessary to enable the Partnership to satisfy its Indemnification Obligations. Each Limited Partner’s liability under this Section 5.8(f) shall be in the proportion that the amount of such Limited Partner’s Capital Withdrawals (and distributions made to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 11.4) bears to all Limited Partner Capital Withdrawals (and distributions made to all Limited Partners pursuant to Section 11.4). (g) The General Partner may, to the extent necessary to settle the liabilities described in this Section 5, either appropriately adjust the Capital Accounts of the appropriate Partner(s) downward or upward to reflect amounts due from or owing to such Partner(s), as the case may be, or cause the Partnership to request payments from or make payments to the appropriate Partner(s) or former Partner(s). The General Partner shall not be required to make any such downward adjustment or request for payment unless failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on the Partnership. It shall be conclusively presumed that any failure to make any such downward adjustment or request for payment shall not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership if the amount in question is less than one percent (1%) of the amount of Net Assets at the time contemplated for such adjustment or request. 5.9 Ownership of Interests. The ownership of Interests shall be recorded on the books and records of the Partnership, and no certificates certifying the ownership of Interests shall be issued except as the General Partner may determine from time to time. 5.10

(ii) If at any time during the Initial Restrictive Period a Selling Partner desires to sell or otherwise Transfer all or any of its Common Interests pursuant to this subsection (b), the Selling Partner will submit a written offer (the “Offer Notice”) to sell such Common Interests (the “Offered Interests”) to the General Partner and the non-selling Limited Partners at a price per Common Interest equal to the Common Interest Purchase Price. The Offer Notice will state the Common Interest Purchase Price and will further state that the General Partner or the non-selling Limited Partners, as the case may be, may acquire, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, all or some of the Offered Interests for the price and on the terms set forth therein. (iii) The General Partner will have until the date that is forty-five (45) days from the date the Offer Notice was submitted to elect to purchase all or a portion of the Offered Interests. If the General Partner elects to purchase some or all of the Offered Interests, it will communicate in writing its election to purchase such Offered Interests to all of the Limited Partners. Such communication will, when taken in conjunction with the Offer Notice, be deemed to constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the sale and purchase of such number of the Offered Interests. The sale of the Offered Interests to the General Partner will be consummated at the offices of the Partnership on a date selected by the General Partner, which shall be within the immediately succeeding seventy-five (75) day period following the date the Offer Notice was submitted. (iv) If the General Partner does not purchase all of the Offered Interests, then the non-selling Limited Partners will have until the date that is sixty (60) days from the date the Offer Notice was submitted to elect to purchase all or a portion of the unsold Offered Interests at the Common Interest Purchase Price. Each non-selling Limited Partner which elects to purchase some or all of the Offered Interests will communicate in writing its election to purchase such Offered Interests to the General Partner and all of the Limited Partners, which communication will state the number of Offered Interests that the non-selling Limited Partner desires to purchase. Such communication will, when taken in conjunction with the Offer Notice, be deemed to constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the sale and purchase of such number of the Offered Interests (or if over-subscribed, the portion allocated to such non-selling Limited Partner based on its pro rata percentage of Interests). The sale of the Offered Interests to the non-selling Limited Partners will be consummated at the offices of the Partnership on a date selected by the General Partner, which shall be within the immediately succeeding ninety (90) day period following the date the Offer Notice was submitted.

MIADOCS 20145569 8 Z9900.6930

(v) If the General Partner and the non-selling Limited Partners as a group do not purchase all of the Offered Interests, then the unsold Offered Interests will continue to be subject to the requirement of a prior offer pursuant to this Section 5.10(b).

Right of First Refusal (Final Restrictive Period).

(i) At any time after the expiration of the Initial Restrictive Period (the “Final Restrictive Period�), any Selling Partner will be entitled to sell all or any of its Common Interests, provided that such sale complies with the requirements of this Section 5.10(c). (ii) If at any time during the Final Restrictive Period a Selling Partner desires to sell or otherwise Transfer all or any of its Common Interests pursuant to this subsection (c), the Selling Partner will submit an Offer Notice to sell such Offered Interests to the General Partner and the non-selling Limited Partners at a price per Common Interest equal to the Common Interest Purchase Price. The Offer Notice will state the Common Interest Purchase Price and will further state that the General Partner or the non-selling Limited Partners, as the case may be, may acquire, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, all or some of the Offered Interests for the price and on the terms set forth therein. (iii) The General Partner will have until the date that is forty-five (45) days from the date the Offer Notice was submitted to elect to purchase all or a portion of the Offered Interests. If the General Partner elects to purchase some or all of the Offered Interests, it will communicate in writing its election to purchase such Offered Interests to all of the Limited Partners. Such communication will, when taken in conjunction with the Offer Notice, be deemed to constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the sale and purchase of such number of the Offered Interests. The sale of the Offered Interests to the General Partner will be consummated at the offices of the Partnership on a date to be selected by the General Partner, which shall be within the immediately succeeding seventy-five (75) day period following the date the Offer Notice was submitted. (iv) If the General Partner does not purchase all of the Offered Interests, then the non-selling Limited Partners will have until the date that is sixty (60) days from the date the Offer Notice was submitted to elect to purchase all or a portion of the unsold Offered Interests. Each non-selling Limited Partner which elects to purchase some or all of the Offered Interests will communicate in writing its election to purchase such Offered Interests to the General Partner and all of the Limited Partners, which communication will state the number of Offered Interests that the nonselling Limited Partner desires to purchase. Such communication will, when taken in conjunction with the Offer Notice, be deemed to constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the sale and purchase of such number of the Offered Interests (or if over-subscribed, the portion allocated to such non-selling Limited Partner based on its pro rata percentage of Interests). The sale of the Offered Interests to the non-selling Limited Partners will be consummated at the offices of the Partnership on a date to be selected by the General Partner, which shall be within the immediately succeeding ninety (90) day period following the date the Offer Notice was submitted. (v) If the General Partner and the non-selling Limited Partners as a group do not purchase all of the Offered Interests, then, with the prior written consent of the General Partner, the unsold Offered Interests may be sold by the Selling Partner at any time within

26


the immediately succeeding one hundred and twenty (120) day period following the date the Offer Notice was submitted to a third party or third parties (the “Proposed Transferee”). Any such sale will be to the Proposed Transferee, at not less than the price and on other terms, if any, not more favorable to the Proposed Transferee than those specified in the Offer Notice. If all of the Offered Interests are not sold within such 120-day period, then the Offered Interests will continue to be subject to the requirement of a prior offer pursuant to this Section 5.10(c). If Offered Interests are sold pursuant to this Section 5.10(c) to any purchaser who is not a party to this Agreement, the purchaser of such Offered Interests will execute and deliver to the Partnership a document under which such Person has agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Common Partner as a precondition of the purchase of the Offered Interests and any Offered Interests sold to such purchaser will continue to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement. (d) Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions, with the prior written consent of the General Partner, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, a Limited Partner may Transfer its Interests to an Affiliate with the same beneficial owners of such Limited Partner or to its beneficial owners. In addition, the restrictions on transfers contained in this Section 5.10 do not apply to transfers by the General Partner of its Common Interests. (e)

(g) Effect of Non-Complying Transfers. Any Transfer of any Interest, or interest therein, in breach of this Section 5.10, or that would, in the General Partner’s reasonable judgment, either: (i) cause the Partnership or the General Partner to be in violation of any requirement, condition or guideline contained in any U.S. federal, state or foreign law or in any order, directive, opinion, ruling or regulation of a U.S. federal, state or foreign governmental agency or self-regulatory organization; or (ii) necessitate the registration of the Partnership as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, in each case, shall be wholly null and void and shall not effectuate the Transfer contemplated thereby.

first, to the Preferred Partners to the extent of their unpaid Preferred

Partner Return; (ii) second, either (A) to the Preferred Partners, pro rata based on their Adjusted Capital Contributions until their Capital Contributions have been returned in full, or (B) to a reserve account established by the General Partner for the purpose of reserving enough funds to exercise its Call Option (defined below) (the “Preferred Interest Repurchase Reserve”), until distributions made into such reserve account equal the aggregate amount of issued and outstanding Preferred Interests, reduced by all capital that has already been repaid to the Preferred Partners (other than the Preferred Partner Return); and (iii)

The Partnership will issue the Common Partners any Excess Carried Interest accrued but unissued within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the end of each even-numbered Fiscal Year, commencing with 2026, pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. The number of Carried Interests and Excess Carried Interests issued to the General Partner and the Common Partners pursuant to this Section 6.6(b), respectively, will be determined by dividing the Total Value Created by US$1,000.

At the Call Option Closing, the Preferred Partners shall: (i) transfer and deliver the Preferred Interests to be transferred to the Partnership free and clear of all liens; and (ii) endorse, sign and deliver such assignments and other documents as are reasonably required by the Partnership to convey ownership of the Preferred Interests as contemplated hereby.

Capital Accounts; Opening Balances.

(a) The General Partner shall establish on the books of the Partnership: (i) a single capital account for the General Partner and (ii) a separate capital account for each Limited Partner (each, an “Account” or “Capital Account”). (b) As of the first day of each Accounting Period, the General Partner shall establish the balance of each Capital Account (the “Opening Balance” of such Capital Account). (c) In the case of the General Partner’s Capital Account, the Opening Balance shall be, for the Accounting Period during which the initial Capital Contribution is credited to such Account, an amount equal to such Capital Contribution, and, for each Accounting Period thereafter, shall be an amount equal to the Closing Balance of such Capital Account as of the end of the immediately preceding Accounting Period, minus any Capital Withdrawal from such Capital Account effected at the end of such immediately preceding Accounting Period, plus any Capital Contribution made to such Capital Account no later than the first Business Day of such Accounting Period. (d) In the case of the Capital Account of a Limited Partner, the Opening Balance shall be for the Accounting Period during which the initial Capital Contribution is credited to such Account, an amount equal to (i) such Limited Partner’s Capital Contribution to that Account and (ii) such Account’s pro rata share (based on Capital Contributions) of the Partnership’s economic profits, both realized and unrealized, and debit such Account with (a) any distributions to such Limited Partner from such Account, (b) such Account’s pro rata share (based on Capital Contributions) of the Partnership’s economic losses, both realized and unrealized, (c) such Account’s pro rata share of the Partnership’s expenses, (d) the Management Fees charged against such Account and paid to the General Partner, if any, and (e) any carried interest charged against such Account and allocated to the General Partner. 7.2 Closing Balances; Allocation of Profits and Losses for Financial Purposes. As of the end of each Accounting Period (but before deducting any Capital Withdrawals deemed to be effected as of end of such Accounting Period), the General Partner shall establish the closing balances of Capital Accounts for such Accounting Period (the “Closing Balance” of each such Account) by adjusting the Opening Balances of such Accounts for such Accounting Period in a manner consistent with the distribution of proceeds from investments as described in Article VI. 7.3

Certain Special Allocations.

(a) If a tax or other assessment is imposed on the Partnership, and the assessment amount is determined by the status or identity of one or more Partners (e.g., their residence), the General Partner may specially allocate the related expense to, and deduct the

MIADOCS 20145569 8 Z9900.6930

31


affected Partner’s allocable share of the assessment from, the appropriate Capital Account (as if the deduction were a distribution). (b) The General Partner may otherwise allocate increases and decreases of Net Assets on a basis other than pro rata among the Opening Balances of Capital Accounts to the extent it reasonably determines that doing so is required by law or is more appropriate and equitable than allocating on such a pro rata basis. (c) The General Partner may, if it deems doing so to be equitable and appropriate, establish reserves with respect to any particular Limited Partner’s Capital Account. The General Partner may charge to a Limited Partner’s Capital Account the reasonable cost of any special services that the Partnership provides to such Limited Partner at its request. If one or more Limited Partners brings a Proceeding against the Partnership or the General Partner that is Judicially Determined to be frivolous or the equivalent, the General Partner may charge the Partnership’s costs and expenses relating to such Proceeding solely to the Capital Accounts of those Partners. 7.4 No Interest on Capital Contributions. Except for the Preferred Partner Return, Partners shall not be entitled to interest on their Capital Contributions or on their Capital Accounts. 7.5 Loans. Loans by a Partner to the Partnership shall not be considered Capital Contributions. Unless the General Partner determines otherwise, if any Partner shall advance funds to the Partnership in excess of the Capital Contribution(s) required to be made by such Partner pursuant to this Agreement, the making of such advances shall not result in any increase in the amount of the Capital Account of such Partner. The amounts of any such advances shall be a debt of the Partnership to such Partner and shall be payable or collectible only out of the assets of the Partnership in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions upon which such advances are made. The repayment, upon the winding up of the Partnership, of loans made to the Partnership by a Partner shall be subject to the order of priority set forth in Section 11.4. ARTICLE VIII RECORDS AND ACCOUNTING; REPORTS; CONFIDENTIALITY 8.1

MIADOCS 20145569 8 Z9900.6930

32


to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be restricted to a right to receive, review or inspect details relating to their own investment in the Partnership only. (e) The General Partner shall cause the following to be recorded in the register of partnership interests in accordance with the Act: (i) the name and address, amount and dates of contributions of each Partner and (ii) the amount and date of any payment representing a return of any part of any Partner’s contribution. The General Partner cause such information to be updated within 21 days of any change thereof. 8.2

Fiscal Year; Accounting Period; Accounting Methods.

(a) The Fiscal Year of the Partnership shall end on December 31 of each year (except that the last Fiscal Year of the Partnership shall end upon the date of the termination of the Partnership), and the Fiscal Quarters of the Partnership shall end on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, unless the General Partner determines otherwise. (b) The initial Accounting Period shall (i) begin as of the date of the Common Interest Closing and (ii) end on the last day of such month.

Determination and Calculation of Liabilities and Valuation of Assets.

(a) The liabilities of the Partnership shall be deemed to include: (i) all of its bills and accounts payable; (ii) all of its accrued or payable expenses; and (iii) all of its other liabilities, present or future, including Reserves. (b) For purposes of determining the Partnership’s liabilities at a particular time, the General Partner may estimate expenses that are incurred on a regular or recurring basis over yearly or other periods and treat the amount of any such estimate as accruing in equal portions over any such period. (c) The General Partner may establish such reserves for the Partnership for contingent, unknown or unfixed debts, liabilities or obligations of the Partnership as the General Partner may reasonably determine to be advisable, whether or not in accordance with IFRS (“Reserves”). Any such Reserve, if and when reserved, shall be allocated among the Capital Accounts of the Partners who are Partners at the time of the making of such Reserve in the manner provided in Section 7.3(c), unless the General Partner determines that it would be more equitable to allocate such Reserve among the Capital Accounts of those Persons who were Partners at the time such Reserve was established. (d) The assets of the Partnership shall be deemed to include: (i) all of its cash on hand or on deposit, including any interest accrued thereon; (ii) all of its demand notes and

33


accounts receivable; (iii) all of its Financial Instruments; (iv) all interest accrued on its interestbearing Financial Instruments; and (v) all of its other assets of every kind and nature, including prepaid expenses. (e) The General Partner shall determine the fair market value of the Partnership’s assets and liabilities in good faith. To the extent applicable to any of the foregoing, the General Partner shall follow IFRS, except when it in its discretion deems the same to be inequitable or inappropriate. Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all of the Partners and all parties claiming through or under them. 8.4

Reports.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each calendar year, the General Partner shall cause to be delivered to each Person who was a Partner at any time during such year a report setting forth (i) the net asset value of such Limited Partner’s Capital Account as of the end of such year and (ii) such other financial information as the General Partner may deem appropriate. (b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each calendar quarter, the Partnership will provide to each Limited Partner with a report, reflecting any information as the General Partner may deem appropriate. 8.5 Tax Returns and U.S. Tax Status. If applicable, the General Partner will cause applicable income tax returns for the Partnership to be prepared and timely filed (subject to the General Partner’s discretion to obtain extensions) with the appropriate authorities.

In addition, the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, may cause the Partnership to make (or refrain from making) any and all tax elections permitted by such tax laws and may charge the costs of complying with such election to the Partner(s) who requested that such election be made. 8.6

Confidentiality.

(a) General Rule of Confidentiality. Except as provided in Section 8.6(b), each Limited Partner agrees to keep confidential, not to make any use of, and not to provide or disclose to any Person, any information or matter relating to the Partnership and its business and affairs, including reports furnished to Limited Partners pursuant to Section 8.4, the identities of other Partners, any offering materials used in connection with the marketing and private placement of Interests (including this Agreement and the Subscription Agreements) and any information or matter related to any investment made by the Partnership (all of the foregoing, “Confidential Information”). (b) Exceptions to General Rule of Confidentiality. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.6(a): (i) A Limited Partner may provide or disclose Confidential Information to its members, partners, shareholders, directors, officers and employees, and to its financial, legal, MIADOCS 20145569 8 Z9900.6930

34


tax and other advisors (each, an “Authorized Person”), for any purpose reasonably related to its interest in the Partnership; provided, however, that such Limited Partner notifies each such Authorized Person in writing of the restrictions set forth in this Section 8.6 and states in such writing, in a prominent fashion, that such Authorized Person, by receiving such Confidential Information, will be deemed to have agreed to comply with such restrictions. (ii) A Limited Partner or any of its Authorized Persons may provide or disclose Confidential Information to any Person if: (A) the information contemplated to be provided or disclosed is publicly known at the time of proposed disclosure as a result of actions other than a breach by such Limited Partner or any of its Authorized Persons of the provisions of this Section 8.6; (B) such disclosure is required by law or regulation; (C) such disclosure is required by any governmental agency, regulatory authority or self-regulatory organization having jurisdiction over such Limited Partner; or (D) such disclosure is approved in advance by the General Partner. A Limited Partner or its Authorized Person shall use its reasonable best efforts to give reasonable prior Notification to the General Partner of any disclosure pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) of this Section 8.6(b)(ii) to afford the General Partner the opportunity to obtain an appropriate protective order. (c) Rights of General Partner. Unless the General Partner expressly agrees otherwise, the General Partner shall have the right to publicize: (i) the fact that it serves as the general partner of the Partnership; (ii) the performance of the Partnership; and (iii) the identity of Limited Partners, provided it does so in a manner that does not constitute “general advertising” or “general solicitation” with respect to the Partnership or the Interests within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act. (d) Proprietary Information of General Partner. Each Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that the General Partner owns all rights, title and interest in and to the trading models, strategies, software and other proprietary materials utilized or generated by it in the course of managing and conducting the business and affairs of the Partnership, including all patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret rights therein (all of the foregoing, “Proprietary Information”). Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting the Limited Partners any rights or license of any kind with respect to the Proprietary Information. Each Limited Partner agrees: (i) to keep the Proprietary Information confidential pursuant to Section 8.6(a), and (ii) not to copy, alter, reserve engineer or decompile the Proprietary Information or otherwise attempt to access or use any of the trade secrets contained therein. 8.7

Safeguarding Confidential Information.

(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, keep confidential from any Limited Partner information to the extent the General Partner reasonably determines that: (i) any disclosure of such information to such Limited Partner would be likely to have a material adverse effect upon the Partnership, a Partner or an investment of the Partnership due to an actual or likely conflict of business interest between such Limited Partner and one or more other parties or an actual or likely imposition of additional statutory or regulatory obligations or constraints upon the Partnership, a Partner or an investment of the Partnership; or (ii) in the case of a Limited Partner that the General Partner reasonably determines cannot or will not adequately

MIADOCS 20145569 8 Z9900.6930

35


protect against the improper disclosure of confidential information, the disclosure of such information to a non-Partner would likely have a material adverse effect upon the Partnership, a Partner, or an investment of the Partnership. (b) So long as the General Partner acts pursuant to this Section 8.7 such action by the General Partner shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or of any duty stated or implied in law or equity provided, however, that any such actions taken or not taken by the General Partner under this Section 8.7 were taken in good faith. ARTICLE IX EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION OF GENERAL PARTNER ASSOCIATES 9.1

Exculpation. (a)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

(i) to the extent that, at law or in equity, the General Partner has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary or other damages to the Partnership or such Limited Partner for the General Partner’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement or for: (A) losses sustained or liabilities incurred by the Partnership or such Limited Partner as a result of errors in judgment on the part of the General Partner, or any act or omission of the General Partner, if such losses or liabilities were not the result of the General Partner’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of, or reckless disregard of, its duties under this Agreement; (B) errors in judgment on the part of any Person, or any act or omission of any Person, selected by the General Partner to perform services for or otherwise transact business with the Partnership, provided that, in selecting such Person, the General Partner acted without willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence; or (C) circumstances beyond the General Partner’s control, including the bankruptcy, insolvency or suspension of normal business activities of any broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution holding Partnership Property; (ii) to the extent that, at law or in equity, a General Partner Associate (other than the General Partner) has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, such General Partner Associate shall not be liable for monetary or other damages to the Partnership or such Limited Partner for such General Partner Associate’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement or for losses sustained or liabilities incurred by the Partnership or such Limited Partner as a result of errors in judgment on the part of such General Partner Associate, or any act or omission of such General Partner Associate, if such losses or liabilities were not the result of such General Partner Associate’s willful misfeasance or bad faith; and (iii) in no event shall the Liquidator be liable for losses sustained or liabilities incurred by the Partnership or any Limited Partner except to the extent required by law. (b) Each General Partner Associate and the Liquidator shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the books and records of the Partnership and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Partnership by any of its Partners, officers or agents (including legal counsel, accountants, auditors, appraisers, investment bankers and other MIADOCS 20145569 8 Z9900.6930

36


independent experts) acting for the Partnership or any Partner as to matters such General Partner Associate or the Liquidator, as the case may be, reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence, including information, opinions, reports, or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits or losses of the Partnership or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions by the Partnership might properly be made. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no exculpation of a General Partner Associate or the Liquidator shall be permitted hereunder to the extent such exculpation would be inconsistent with the requirements of the Securities Laws or of any other applicable law. 9.2

Indemnification.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership shall indemnify each General Partner Associate and the Liquidator (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses, except to the extent that it is Judicially Determined that an act or omission of such General Partner Associate or Liquidator, as the case may be, was the primary cause of such Losses and that such General Partner Associate or Liquidator, as the case may be, is not entitled to be exculpated from such Losses pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.1. (b) Reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party or witness in a Proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by such Indemnitee of such Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership, as stated in Section 9.2(a), has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it shall ultimately be Judicially Determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder. (c) The indemnification provided by this Section 9.2 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to a General Partner Associate or the Liquidator, as the case may be, who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall also be for the benefit of such Indemnitee’s personal representatives, but shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. This subsection (c), however, shall not be construed to entitle any Indemnitee to receive any amount under the provisions of this Article IX in respect of any Losses to the extent that, after giving effect to the receipt of such amount and the receipt by such Indemnitee of any other payments in respect of such Losses, from whatever source or sources, such Indemnitee shall have recovered an aggregate amount in excess of such Losses. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification of an Indemnitee shall be permitted hereunder to the extent such indemnification would be inconsistent with the requirements of the Securities Laws or of any other applicable law. (e) The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance, at its own cost and expense, on behalf of any one or more Persons against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person(s) in connection with the activities of the

MIADOCS 20145569 8 Z9900.6930

37


Partnership, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify any such Person(s) against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. (f) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 9.2 solely because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies. (g) Any Indemnitee entitled to indemnification hereunder shall use its reasonable best efforts to minimize the amount of any claim for indemnification hereunder. 9.3 Indemnification Period. Indemnification Obligations shall remain in effect for a period of two years after the termination of the Partnership; except that Indemnification Obligations shall continue as to any Loss of which any Indemnitee shall have given Notification to the Partnership on or prior to the date such Indemnification Obligation would otherwise terminate in accordance with this Section 9.3, until it is Judicially Determined that the Partnership is not liable for such Loss. ARTICLE X AMENDMENT; CONSENTS FOR OTHER PURPOSES 10.1

Amendments.

(a) Subject to Section 10.1(b), the General Partner may amend this Agreement at any time and from time to time, whether by changing any one or more of the provisions hereof, removing any one or more provisions herefrom or adding one or more provisions hereto: (i) without obtaining the authorization, approval, agreement, consent or vote of any Limited Partner, for such purpose or purposes as the General Partner may reasonably determine to be necessary, appropriate, advisable or convenient to the management and conduct of the business and affairs of the Partnership, provided that, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the General Partner, such amendment does not have and cannot reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Partnership or any Limited Partner; (ii) without obtaining the authorization, approval, agreement, consent or vote of any Limited Partner, to: (A) otherwise cause the Partnership to comply with any requirement, condition or guideline contained in any U.S. federal, state or foreign law or in any order, directive, opinion, ruling or regulation of a U.S. federal, state or foreign governmental agency or self-regulatory organization; (B) reflect the admission, substitution, termination or withdrawal of Partners after the date hereof in accordance with this Agreement; (C) cure any ambiguity in this Agreement; or (D) provide, pursuant to Section 3.4(b), that any one or more Additional General Partners may possess and exercise any one or more of the rights, powers and authority possessed by the General Partner under this Agreement; (iii) in a manner that materially adversely affects or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Partnership or the Limited Partners generally, if the General Partner gives Notification to the Limited Partners, at least thirty (30) days prior to the implementation of such amendment, setting forth all material facts relating to such amendment,

MIADOCS 20145569 8 Z9900.6930

38


and obtains the Consent of the Partnership to such amendment prior to the implementation thereof; or (iv) in a manner that materially adversely affects or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any one or more specific Limited Partners, if the General Partner receives consent to such amendment from such affected Limited Partner(s). (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 10.1(a), this Agreement may not be amended so as to: (a) modify the limited liability of a Limited Partner, without the consent of such Limited Partner or (b) materially reduce the amount of distributions to which such Limited Partner is entitled under this Agreement, without the consent of such Limited Partner. 10.2 Consents for Other Purposes. The General Partner may from time to time determine to submit to the Partnership, for its approval, actions or practices that are not required to be approved by the Partnership or the Limited Partners pursuant to this Agreement (including transactions subject to the provisions of Section 206(3) of the Investment Advisers Act). Any such action or practice will be deemed to have been approved by the Partnership if: (a) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed taking of such action or implementation of such practice, the General Partner gives Notification to the Limited Partners describing such action or practice in reasonable detail and (b) prior to the taking of such action or implementation of such practice, the General Partner obtains the Consent of the Partnership to such action or practice. 10.3 Waiver. The General Partner has general authority, without any obligation to give Notification to any Limited Partner, to waive any provision of this Agreement in any respect provided that such waiver, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the General Partner, does not have and cannot reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Partnership or any Limited Partner. No waiver of any Management Fee in respect of any one or more Capital Accounts, whether in whole or in part, and no waiver of the conditions otherwise applicable to making Capital Withdrawals from any one or more Capital Accounts, shall, in and of itself, be deemed to have a material adverse effect on the Partnership or on any Limited Partner to whom such a waiver is not granted. ARTICLE XI WINDING UP, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION 11.1 Events Causing Wind Up. The term and business of the Partnership shall be terminated and the Partnership shall be wound up upon the first to occur of the following events, and, except as otherwise required by the Act or other applicable law, no other event shall cause the wind up of the Partnership: (a) subject to Section 3.2, the General Partner declares in writing that the Partnership shall be wound up and gives Notification of such declaration to the Limited Partners; (b) an Event of Withdrawal or the Bankruptcy of the General Partner; provided, however, that no such Event of Withdrawal or Bankruptcy shall cause the termination of the Partnership if at the time of such Event of Withdrawal or Bankruptcy there is at least one other general partner of the Partnership that has been admitted to the Partnership as a general partner pursuant to Section 3.4(b) and such other general partner carries on the business of the Partnership

MIADOCS 20145569 8 Z9900.6930

39


(it being understood and agreed that this Agreement shall be construed to permit the business of the Partnership to be carried on by such other general partner in the event of an Event of Withdrawal or the Bankruptcy of the General Partner); or (c) an order is made by the courts of the Cayman Islands for the winding up of the Partnership under the Act. 11.2 Winding Up. If the Partnership is to be wound up pursuant to Section 11.1, its business and affairs shall be wound up as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter in the manner set forth below. (a) The winding up of the business and affairs of the Partnership shall be carried out by a liquidator (the “Liquidator”). Unless otherwise required by law, the Liquidator shall be the General Partner or a Person selected by the General Partner (unless the Partnership is terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.1(c), in which case the Liquidator shall be a person selected by a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners determined as of the beginning of the Accounting Period during which the decree is entered). (b) The Liquidator shall possess full and exclusive right, power and authority, in the name of and for and on behalf of the Partnership, to take such actions as are permitted to be taken by a liquidator under the Act, to the extent the Liquidator reasonably determines such actions are necessary, appropriate, advisable or convenient to effect the orderly winding up of the Partnership’s business and affairs. (c) The winding up of the Partnership shall not commence, unless the General Partner or the Liquidator, as the case may be, resolves or determines otherwise, until notice of winding-up has been filed with the Registrar under the Act. 11.3 Compensation of Liquidator. The Liquidator shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation from the Partnership, but only from the Partnership’s assets, for its services as liquidator. 11.4

Distribution of Property and Proceeds of Sale Thereof.

(a) Upon completion of all desired sales, retirements and other dispositions of Partnership Property on behalf of the Partnership, the Liquidator shall, in accordance with the provisions of the Act, distribute the net proceeds of such sales, retirements and dispositions, and any Partnership Property that is to be distributed in-kind, in the following order of priority: (i) to pay or make reasonable provision for the payment of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership to creditors of the Partnership, including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Partners and former Partners who are creditors of the Partnership (other than liabilities for distributions to Partners and former Partners under the Act); (ii) to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership to Partners and former Partners for distributions under the Act;

MIADOCS 20145569 8 Z9900.6930

40


(iii) to the Preferred Partners, to the extent of their Adjusted Capital Contributions and any accrued but unpaid Preferred Partner Return; and (iv)

to the Common Partners, as provided in Section 6.6(a)(iii).

(b) All distributions required under this Section 11.4(a) shall be at such time as the Liquidator deems appropriate. (c) Pursuant to the provisions of the Act, if there are sufficient assets to satisfy the claims of all priority groups specified above, such claims shall be paid in full and any such provision for payment shall be made in full. If there are sufficient assets to satisfy the claims of one or more but not all priority groups specified above, the claims of the highest priority groups that may be paid or provided for in full shall be paid or provided for in full, before paying or providing for any claims of a lower priority group. If there are insufficient assets to pay or provide for the claims of a particular priority group specified above, such claims shall be paid or provided for ratably to the claimants in such group to the extent of the assets available to pay such claims. (d) Amounts in reserves established by the Liquidator pursuant to the Act shall be paid to creditors of the Partnership as set forth in Section 11.4(a)(i). Any amounts remaining in such reserves after such payments shall be paid as provided in Sections 11.4(a)(ii) and (iii). 11.5 Final Accounts. Within a reasonable time following the completion of the winding up of the business and affairs of the Partnership (excluding, for purposes of this Section 11.5, the disposition of reserves described in Section 11.4(d)), the Liquidator shall furnish to each Partner a statement setting forth the assets and the liabilities of the Partnership as of the date of such completion and each Partner’s share of distributions pursuant to Section 11.4. 11.6 Deficit Capital Accounts. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that, upon completion of the winding up of the business and affairs of the Partnership, there is a deficit in any Partner’s Capital Account, such deficit shall not be an asset of the Partnership and such Partner shall not be obligated to contribute such amount to the Partnership to bring the balance of such Capital Account to zero. 11.7 Statutory Winding-Up, Liquidation and Dissolution. Upon completion of the foregoing winding up and liquidation procedures, the General Partner or the Liquidator, as the case may be, shall file a notice of dissolution with the Registrar in accordance with the Act, whereupon the Partnership shall dissolve. The Limited Partners may not apply to the court for an order that the Partnership be wound up, liquidated and dissolved. ARTICLE XII MISCELLANEOUS 12.1

Construction and Governing Law.

(a) This Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and any documents evidencing substitute Management Fee arrangements, substitute withdrawal arrangements, or substitute carried interest arrangements contain the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous

MIADOCS 20145569 8 Z9900.6930

41


agreements, understandings, arrangements, inducements or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, between or among any of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. (b) All provisions of this Agreement and the Subscription Agreements shall be governed by and construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands without regard to principles of conflict of laws which would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. (c) Any dispute, controversy or question of interpretation arising under, out of, in connection with or in relation to this Agreement or any amendments hereof, or any breach or default hereunder (a “Dispute”), shall be resolved and finally determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the international arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). There shall be one independent arbitrator, to be selected by the parties. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the AAA rules. The arbitration shall be held in Miami, Florida, and in the English language. Any award rendered in such proceedings shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and judgment may be entered thereon in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Neither the existence of any dispute, controversy or claim nor the fact that arbitration is pending shall relieve any party of its respective obligations under this Agreement. Each party hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the arbitration panel described above and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such arbitration in the foregoing forum. In the event of any such arbitration, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other parties hereto all costs and expenses which the prevailing party incurs in connection with such arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred before arbitration, during arbitration or on appeal. (d) In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be found or held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions of this Agreement in that or any other jurisdiction, unless such a construction would be unreasonable. If the General Partner shall determine, with the advice of reputable counsel, that any provision of this Agreement is in conflict with (A) the Securities Laws or (B) other applicable laws, rules, regulations or orders, whether generally or in a particular application, then the conflicting provision or such particular application thereof, as the case may be, shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this Agreement for so long as such conflict exists (provided, however, that such determination shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any lawful application of any provision, or render invalid or improper any action taken or omitted prior to such determination). In construing the meaning or application of the Securities Laws, counsel to the General Partner may consider the effect of any applicable order or interpretive release issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any applicable “no action” or interpretive position issued by the staff of such Commission, that modifies or interprets the Securities Laws. (e) If any provision of this Agreement appears to the General Partner to be ambiguous, or inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner may

MIADOCS 20145569 8 Z9900.6930

42


construe such provision in such manner as it reasonably may determine in good faith, and such construction shall be conclusive and binding as to the meaning to be given to such provision. (f) In any case in this Agreement where it is provided that the General Partner may take, approve or agree to a particular action, do a particular thing, or make a particular designation or determination, and such case does not expressly require Limited Partner authorization, approval, agreement or consent or the vote of Limited Partners, the General Partner shall possess full right, power and authority to take, approve or agree to such action, to do such thing, or to make such designation or determination, without obtaining any prior or subsequent authorization, approval, agreement, consent or vote of any Limited Partner (and the General Partner may take, approve or agree to such action, do such thing, or make such designation or determination, in its sole and absolute discretion on such terms and in such manner as it may deem appropriate), unless otherwise expressly required by this Agreement or by applicable law. (g) Each reference in this Agreement to a particular statute or regulation, or provision thereof, shall be deemed to refer to such statute or regulation, or provision thereof, as amended from time to time, or to any superseding statute or regulation, or provision thereof, as is from time to time in effect, as well as to applicable regulations then in effect thereunder. (h) In computing the number of days for purposes of this Agreement, all days shall be counted, including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays; provided, however, that if the final day of any time period falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the final day of such time period shall be deemed to be the next Business Day. (i) Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, references in this Agreement to Articles and Sections are to Articles and Sections of this Agreement. The headings to Articles and Sections are for convenience of reference only and shall not form part of or affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. (j) Where appropriate, each definition and pronoun in this Agreement includes the singular and the plural, and reference to the neuter gender includes the masculine and feminine, and vice versa. As used in this Agreement, the word “including” shall mean “including without limitation,” and the word “or” is not exclusive. (k) The express provisions of this Agreement control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the provisions hereof. (l) In applying the provisions of this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that, regardless of where this Agreement may be executed by a party hereto, this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties pursuant to the Act, and that the parties intend that the provisions of this Agreement be given full force and effect pursuant to the principles set forth in the Act. Without limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, to the extent this Agreement modifies or nullifies any provision of the Act that would apply in the absence of such modification or nullification, as permitted by the Act (any such provision of the Act being referred to herein as a “default” provision), such modification or nullification shall apply in preference to such “default” provision.

12.2 Power of Attorney. Each Limited Partner hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints each and every General Partner, with full power of substitution, its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, and empowers and authorizes such attorney, in the name, place, and stead of such Limited Partner, to make, execute, sign, swear to, acknowledge and file in all necessary or appropriate places all documents relating to the Partnership and its activities, including, but not limited to: (a) the Partnership Agreement and any amendments thereto; (b) any applications, forms, certificates, statements, reports, or other documents that may be requested or required by any U.S. federal, state, foreign, local or other governmental agency, securities exchange, securities association, self-regulatory organization, or similar institution and that are deemed necessary or advisable by the General Partner; (c) any other instrument that may be required to be filed or recorded in any U.S. state or county or foreign jurisdiction, or by any governmental agency, or that the General Partner deems advisable to file or record, including, without limitation, certificates of assumed name; (d) any documents that may be required to effect the continuation of the Partnership, the admission of additional Limited Partners, the admission of substitute Limited Partners, or the termination or dissolution of the Partnership, provided such continuation, admission, termination or dissolution are in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement; (e) to make certain elections contained in any applicable law governing taxation of limited partnerships; and (f) to perform any and all other ministerial duties or functions necessary for the conduct of the business of the Partnership; hereby ratifying and confirming all actions that may be taken by said attorney-in-fact pursuant to this Section 12.2. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall continue notwithstanding the subsequent incapacity of the Limited Partner. 12.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original as against any party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Any writing, including a Subscription Agreement, that has been duly executed by a Person in which such Person has agreed to be bound hereby as a Limited Partner shall be considered a counterpart for purposes of the foregoing. 12.4 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties (and Indemnitees as provided under Article IX) and their respective personal representatives. 12.5 Deed. This Agreement has been executed as a deed by the parties and is delivered and takes effect on the date set out at the beginning of this Agreement. 12.6 Remedies for Breach; Effect of Waiver or Consent. A waiver or consent, express or implied, of or to any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of her/his duties with respect to the Partnership is not a consent to or waiver of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other duties of that Person with respect to the Partnership.

12.7

AEOI and Related Compliance Matters.

(a) Each Limited Partner acknowledges that the Partnership is or will be obliged to comply with AEOI Legislation (including in order to avoid the potential imposition of withholding tax on certain payments made to or by the Partnership) and covenants and agrees on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, without further consideration, to promptly prepare, execute, acknowledge, file, record, publish and deliver such other information, representations, certificates, statements, instruments, documents, tax forms, waivers and statements as may be requested by the General Partner or its agents from time to time in their sole discretion in connection with AEOI Legislation relating to such Limited Partner (or its direct or indirect owners or account holders), specifically, but not limited to, forms and documentation which the Partnership, the General Partner or its or their agents may require to determine whether or not the relevant investment is a “US Reportable Account” for the purposes of AEOI Legislation and to comply with the relevant due diligence procedures in making such determination. (b) Each Limited Partner acknowledges that the Partnership, the General Partner or its or their agents may or will be obliged to provide or disclose any information and other documentation it receives from a Limited Partner in connection with AEOI Legislation and/or any other financial or account information with respect to the Limited Partner’s investment in the Partnership to (i) the Cayman Islands International Tax Authority (or any other Cayman Islands governmental body which collects information in accordance with AEOI Legislation), or the fiscal authorities of the relevant third country for which the AEOI Legislation information is required (“Foreign Fiscal Authority”) and/or any other governmental agencies of the Cayman Islands or a Foreign Fiscal Authority where the provision of that information is required to ensure compliance by the Partnership, the General Partner or its or their agents with its or their obligations under the AEOI Legislation or to avoid being subject to withholding tax or other liabilities under the AEOI Legislation and (ii) a withholding agent where the provision of that information is required by such withholding agent to avoid the application of any withholding tax on any payments to the Partnership. Each Limited Partner, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, agrees to the foregoing disclosure and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, waives, and/or shall cooperate with the Partnership, the General Partner and its or their agents to obtain a waiver of, the provisions of any applicable laws which would, absent a waiver (i) prohibit the disclosure by the Partnership, the General Partner or its or their agents of the information or documentation requested from the Limited Partner pursuant to this clause, or (ii) prohibit the reporting of financial or account information by the Partnership, the General Partner or its or their agents required pursuant to the AEOI Legislation, or (iii) otherwise prevent compliance by the Partnership, the General Partner or its or their agents with its or their obligations under the AEOI Legislation. (c) If any Limited Partner fails to or does not timely provide the AEOI Legislation information, representation and/or other documentation or additional waiver(s) requested by the Partnership, the General Partner or its or their respective agents, or the material provided is in any way misleading, as applicable, whether or not that actually leads to compliance failures by the Partnership, or a risk of the Partnership or its investors being subject to withholding tax (directly or indirectly) under AEOI Legislation, the General Partner shall have full authority to take such steps (whether immediately or at such other time as the General Partner determines in its discretion) as the General Partner determines in its sole discretion are necessary or advisable to

mitigate the consequences of such Limited Partner’s non-compliance including, without limitation (and whether separately or by a combination and in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity): (i) the allocation of any AEOI Legislation withholding taxes attributable to such noncompliance to the relevant non-compliant Limited Partner; (ii) termination of the non-compliant Limited Partner’s investment and requiring a compulsory withdrawal of all or a portion of the noncompliant Limited Partner’s investment; (iii) prohibiting in whole or part the non-compliant Limited Partner from participating in additional investments; (iv) holding back from any distributions proceeds or deducting from the non-compliant Limited Partner’s partnership accounts and retaining amounts sufficient to satisfy the Limited Partner’s AEOI Legislation related indemnity provisions under this Agreement and (v) without limitation to the foregoing, taking any of the actions contemplated in this Agreement with respect to such non-compliant Limited Partner as if such Limited Partner had failed to make a Capital Contribution required under this Agreement. (d) Without limitation to the foregoing, in the event any amounts are withheld from payments made to the Partnership (or any entity in which the Partnership holds an interest) pursuant to AEOI Legislation, any such withheld taxes shall, at the discretion of the General Partner and to the extent reasonably possible, be allocated or apportioned to those Limited Partners whose failure to provide information or otherwise cooperate with the Partnership with respect to AEOI Legislation results (directly or indirectly) in the imposition of such withheld taxes. (e) Each Limited Partner acknowledges that the General Partner will determine, in its sole discretion, whether and how to comply with AEOI Legislation, and any such determinations shall include, but not be limited to, an assessment of the possible burden to Limited Partners, the Partnership, the General Partner and any agents of the Partnership of timely collecting information and/or documentation. (f) Each Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no claim against the Partnership, the General Partner or any of the Partnership’s or General Partner’s agents, or any other Limited Partner, investor, or any partner, member, Limited Partner, director, manager, officer, employee, delegate, agent, affiliate, executor, heir, assign, successor or other legal representative of any of the foregoing persons, for any damages or liabilities attributable to any AEOI Legislation compliance related determinations pursuant to this clause and each Limited Partner agrees to indemnify the foregoing and hold them harmless against any AEOI Legislation related liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages, expenses (including legal expenses), penalties or taxes which such persons may incur as a result of any action or inaction (directly or indirectly) of the Limited Partner (or any related person) in connection with its failure to comply with its AEOI Legislation related obligations to the Partnership, the General Partner or its or their respective agents. The foregoing exculpation and indemnity provisions shall be in addition to and supplement any other exculpation and indemnity provided under this Agreement or a Limited Partner’s Subscription Agreement and shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, survive the Limited Partner’s death, bankruptcy, insolvency or any similar proceedings or any disposition of its interest in the Partnership. 12.8
