any Limited Partner and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, may amend any
provision of this Agreement in order to effectuate the intent of this Section 3.2(d).
3.3 Additional Limited Partners.
(a) Additional Subscriptions before Final Closing Date. Subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, during the period from the date on which investors are first
admitted to the Partnership (the "Initial Closing Date") through December 31, 2018 (the "Final
Closing Date"), the General Partner is authorized, but not obligated, to admit to the Partnership
one or more additional Limited Partners (each, an "Additional Limited Partner") and to accept
additional Subscriptions from existing Limited Partners, who shall be deemed to be Additional
Limited Partners to the extent of such additional Subscriptions. Additional Subscriptions shall
be accepted and Additional Limited Partners shall be admitted to the Partnership pursuant to this
Section 3.3(aI only i£
(i) Each such Additional Limited Partner shall contribute, on or after
the date of its admission or the acceptance of its additional Subscription, the same percentage of
its Subscription or its additional Subscription, as the case may be, as has been contributed by the
other non-defaulting Limited Partners prior to such date (not including any contributions
pursuant to (ji) below);
(ii) Unless otherwise waived by the General Partner in its sole
discretion, each such Additional Limited Partner shall contribute to the Partnership at the same
time an interest-equivalent amount equal to the interest that would be payable on a debt
obligation in the amount of the contribution made pursuant to clause (a), computed at a rate
equal to the Prime Rate in effect on the Initial Drawdown Date plus two percent (2%) per annum
for the period from the due date or dates on which the other Partners were required to make their
earlier contributions to the date of such contribution, and the allocations otherwise provided for
in this Agreement shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 8.3(b) so that the increase in the
Additional Limited Partner's Capital Account attributable to the contribution of such interest-
equivalent amount is fully offset by special allocations of loss or expense to such Partner;
(iii) Upon payment of the amount provided by Sections 3.3(a)(i) and
(11), the Partnership shall:
(1) pay to the Management Company, as an additional
Management Fee, the incremental Management Fee that would have been payable prior to such
4
EFTA00805989
CONFIDENTIAL
admission with respect to the Subscription of the Additional Limited Partners had such
Additional Limited Partners been admitted on the Initial Closing Date; and
(2) at the discretion of the General Partner, retain for any valid
Partnership purpose some or all of the balance of the amount paid to the Partnership under
Section 3.3(a)(i) (together with the portion of the interest paid pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(ii) with
respect to such retained portion), and/or distribute some or all of such balance to the Partners
(other than the Additional Limited Partners admitted on such admission date) apportioned among
such previously admitted Partners in proportion to their respective Contributions. Such
distribution shall be deemed to consist of (A) a portion of the initial Contribution made by the
Additional Limited Partners which the General Partner determines to return to the previously
admitted Partners, plus (B) the interest-equivalent amount paid pursuant to Section 3.3(axii) with
respect to such portion of the initial Contribution made by the Additional Limited Partners which
the General Partner determines to return to the previously admitted Partners. The portion of any
distribution to a Partner described under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence shall
be added back to the unpaid portion of such Partner's Subscription which may be called again by
the Partnership, and the portion of any distribution to a Partner described under clause (B) of the
immediately preceding sentence shall be treated as a special distribution of interest income
which does not increase the unpaid portion of such Partner's Subscription; and
(iv) No distribution has been made by the Partnership to the Partners
pursuant to Article VII (other than pursuant to Section 7.4) prior to the date of such Additional
Limited Partner's admission or additional Subscription.
Each Partner acknowledges and agrees that the intent of this Section 3.3(a) is to allow
each Additional Limited Partner to be admitted to the Partnership with a proportionate interest
(based on relative Subscriptions) in the Partnership, and to cause such Additional Limited
Partner to bear its proportionate share (based on relative Subscriptions) of Management Fees and
other Partnership Expenses, without decreasing the aggregate Subscriptions of other Partners.
Accordingly, the amount contributed by a Limited Partner pursuant to Section 3.3(061 shall be
treated as a Contribution by such Limited Partner, and the interest described in Section 3.3(a)(ii)
shall be treated as interest income of the Partnership. The portion of the interest income and the
amount of incremental Management Fees described in Section 3.3(a)(iii) shall be specially
allocated items of income and expense to such Additional Limited Partner to the extent required
such that such Additional Limited Partner has been allocated a proportionate share of all
Management Fees incurred by the Partnership after the date hereof. The portion of the interest
income described in clause (B) of Section 3.3(a)(iii)(2) shall be a specially allocated and
distributed item of income to previously admitted Partners to the extent paid to them, and the
amount described in clause (A) of Section 3.3(a)(iii)(2) shall be a special return of Contributions
to previously admitted Partners which is added back to their unpaid Subscriptions to the extent
distributed to them. Subject to the foregoing and to the provisions of Section 8.4, each previously
admitted and Additional Limited Partner shall be treated in all respects as if it had been an
original Limited Partner of the Partnership (with a proportionate share of aggregate
Contributions), and shall be subject to all the obligations of the Limited Partners hereunder
including, without limitation, the obligation to make all subsequent Contributions required by
this Agreement.

CONFIDENTIAL
(b) Additional Subscriptions after Final Closing Date. After the Final Closing
Date, the General Partner, with the consent of either the Advisory Committee or a majority-in-
interest of the Limited Partners, is authorized to admit one or more Persons to the Partnership as
Additional Limited Partners or accept additional Subscriptions from the Partners. The terms of
any such admission or additional Subscription shall be fixed by the General Partner at the time of
such admission or additional Subscription.
(c) Accession to Agreement. Each Person who is to be admitted as an
Additional Limited Partner or substituted Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement shall
accede to this Agreement by executing, together with the General Partner, a counterpart
signature page to this Agreement providing for such admission, which shall be deemed for all
purposes to constitute an amendment to this Agreement providing for such admission but shall
not require the consent or approval of any other Partner. The General Partner shall make any
necessary filings with the appropriate governmental authorities and take such actions as are
necessary under applicable law to effectuate such admission.
3.4 Other Activities Of Partners. Any Partner and its respective partners, members,
stockholders, officers, directors, managers, trustees, employees, agents and Affiliates may invest,
participate, or engage in (for their own accounts or for the accounts of others), or may possess an

activities of every kind, nature and description, independently or with others, including but not

interest of the Partnership or any of the Partners. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Partners acknowledge and agree that the member(s) or manager(s) of the General
Partner may be employed on either a full-time or part-time basis by parties other than the
Partnership or the General Partner and are under no obligation to devote any minimum amount
of their time to the affairs of the Partnership or the General Partner. Neither the Partnership nor
any Partner shall have any rights, solely by virtue of this Agreement, in or to any activities
permitted by this Section 3.4 or to any wages, fees, income, profits or goodwill derived from
such activities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any
other document, no Partner shall have any rights in or to any technology or opportunities arising
out of the relationship between any Affiliate of the General Partner and the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, the MIT Media Lab or any of their respective Affiliates by virtue of this
Agreement or such Partner's relationship with the Partnership.
3.5 Co-Investments. The General Partner may permit one or more investors (which
for this purpose, may consist of third parties and/or Affiliates of the General Partner) to invest in
transactions in which the Partnership invests if the General Partner determines in its sole
discretion that their investment would be beneficial in consummating such investment,
successfully operating the Portfolio Company or its assets, disposing of such investment or
6
EFTA00805991
CONFIDENTIAL
otherwise adding value to such investment. In addition, the General Partner may, in its
discretion, grant one or more Partners rights to co-invest with the Partnership (either directly or
indirectly by means of co-investment vehicles formed by the General Partner and/or its
Affiliates) in instances where the General Partner determines a co-investment allocation to be
available. Co-investors are expected to invest in the same securities as the Partnership and at the
same valuation, but may be subject to such fees (including carried interest and management fees)
and expenses as may be negotiated with the General Partner and/or its Affiliates. The General
Partner and/or its Affiliates may make an investment in any vehicle formed for a co-investment
opportunity.
3.6 Advisory Committee.
(a) Appointment; Removal. The Partnership may form a committee of at least
three members (the "Advisory Committee"), which shall consist exclusively of Limited Partners
(or designated representatives thereof), who shall be appointed by the General Partner and who
may be removed or replaced by the General Partner.

progress of Portfolio Investments;
(ii) Review and advise the General Partner regarding potential
conflicts of interest submitted to them by the General Partner; and

undertake any action on behalf of the Partnership with any third party or have the power to bind
the Partnership or any authority to act for or on its behalf.
(c) Reimbursement of Expenses. Members of the Advisory Committee may
receive from the Partnership reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses
incurred in connection with their attendance at meetings of the Advisory Committee, but shall
receive no fees or other compensation from the Partnership in connection with their duties as
members of the Advisory Committee.
ARTICLE IV

4.1 Management by General Partner. The management, policies and control of the

prohibited by Section 14.7(a)). No Person, in dealing with the General Partner, shall be required
to determine the General Partner's authority to make any commitment or engage in any
undertaking on behalf of the Partnership, or to determine any fact or circumstance bearing upon
the existence of the authority of the General Partner. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, without the consent of any Limited Partner or other Person being required, the
Partnership is hereby authorized to execute, deliver and perform, and the General Partner on
behalf of the Partnership and itself, as applicable, is hereby authorized to execute and deliver (a)
a subscription agreement with each Limited Partner, (b) a management agreement with the
Management Company, and (c) any amendment of any such document (in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement) and any agreement, document or other instrument contemplated
thereby or related thereto. The General Partner is hereby authorized to enter into the documents

be deemed a restriction on the power of the General Partner to enter into other documents on
behalf of the Partnership.

percent (2%) per annum of the aggregate Subscriptions of the Limited Partners. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to the quarter in which the Initial Closing Date occurs, the

CAPITAL OF THE PARTNERSHIP
6.1 Obligation to Contribute.

Partnership, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, in an aggregate
amount equal to such Partner's Subscription. Except as provided in Section 6.3(e), the amount
of capital required to be contributed by each Partner on the occasion of a drawdown shall be
determined by the General Partner based on the ratio of such Partner's unpaid Subscription to the
aggregate unpaid Subscriptions of all Partners. All capital contributions shall be made to the
Partnership by check or wire transfer or other transfer of federal or other immediately available
U.S. funds on the relevant due date to the account designated for such purpose. Each Partner
9
EFTA00805994
CONFIDENTIAL
shall be obligated to make payment in full of each required capital contribution together with any
interest or other amounts due thereon, and no Partner shall make (nor shall the General Partner or
the Partnership be obligated to accept) less than the full amount of any such required capital
contribution.
(b) Initial Capital Contributions. Each Partner's initial capital contribution
shall be due upon not less than ten (10) Business Days' prior written notice from the General

authorized to draw down additional capital contributions from time to time for any purposes
contemplated under this Agreement upon not less than ten (10) Business Days' prior written

contribution when due (including such Partner's initial capital contribution), the General Partner
in its sole discretion may call for a deficiency drawdown of contributions from the other Partners
to replace the unpaid contribution upon five (5) Business Days' prior written notice. For
purposes of Section 6.3, the amount of a Limited Partner's contribution that is not paid when due
shall be deemed to include such Partner's ratable share, determined on a grossed-up basis, of any
deficiency drawdown with respect to such Limited Partner's unpaid contribution.
(d) Procedure for Notice of Capital Calls: Rescission or Postponement. The
General Partner shall send written notice of a call for capital contributions, or a rescission or
postponement of such a call, to each Limited Partner by first class mail or electronic mail. A
notice calling for capital contributions may be rescinded or postponed by the General Partner by
prompt written notice.
(e) Offsets Against Distributions: No Interest or Withdrawals. In connection
with any call for capital contributions under this Agreement, the General Partner is authorized to
apply cash that would otherwise be distributed to a Partner in satisfaction of such Partner's
obligation to make a capital contribution pursuant to such call, to the extent thereof. The amount
applied shall be deemed distributed to the Partner by the Partnership and then contributed by the
Partner to the Partnership in satisfaction of such Partner's obligation to contribute capital
hereunder and such Partner's Contribution shall be adjusted accordingly. No interest shall
accrue on any Partner's Contribution. No Partner shall have the right to withdraw or to be repaid
its Contribution except as specifically provided in this Agreement.
(0 General Partner's Authority to Reduce Subscriptions. The General Partner
in its sole discretion may reduce the Subscriptions of all Partners on a pro rata basis. The
General Partner shall give each Partner written notice of the reduction, which notice shall include
the amount of such Partner's reduced Subscription.
(g) Contributions of the General Partner. The General Partner shall contribute
capital to the Partnership in satisfaction of its Subscription (if any) at the time capital calls are
made pursuant to this Agreement. In addition to its general partnership interest, the General
Partner may also hold limited partnership interests in the Partnership. The Subscription of the

General Partner and/or its Affiliates, in aggregate, shall be at least $100,000 (which may be in
the form of limited partnership interests).
6.2 Return of Certain Amounts Subject to Subsequent Drawdown.
(a) Unused Contributions. The General Partner in its sole discretion may
cause the Partnership to return to the Partners all or any portion of capital contributions that have
not been invested in one or more Portfolio Investments or applied to the payment or
reimbursement of expenses or other purposes. Such contributions shall be distributed to the
Partners pro rata in proportion to the respective amounts of contributions made by them with
respect to the drawdown that gave rise to the contribution that is being returned.
(b) Return of Contributions upon Admission of Additional Partner.
Immediately following the initial (or additional) capital contribution of an Additional Limited
Partner, the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may return to each of the non-contributing
Partners, in proportion to their Contributions, a portion of their earlier capital contributions to the
Partnership in an aggregate amount not in excess of the new contribution. If the General Partner
intends to exercise its discretion to return capital contributions pursuant to the preceding
sentence, it may, in its sole discretion, reduce the amount of the contribution required to be made
by the Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(i) so that, on a net basis after the
return of contributions, all Partners will have contributed the same percentage of their
Subscriptions. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may also pay to the Partners as
"guaranteed payments" (as defined in Section 707(c) of the Code), including the Additional
Limited Partner, in proportion to their Contributions, all or a portion of the interest-equivalent
amounts contributed to the Partnership pursuant to Section 3.3(alffil.
(c) Effect of Return of Contributions. The General Partner shall make all
appropriate adjustments, including to the amount of the Partners' respective Contributions,
unpaid Subscriptions, Capital Accounts and any other items that are adjusted for capital
drawdowns, so that the amounts of all such items are, to the maximum extent possible, the same
as they would have been had the capital drawdown that gave rise to any contribution that is
returned pursuant to Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) never occurred. No such adjustments shall
be made, however, to reflect any amounts paid or distributed to a Partner that are attributable to
the payment to such Partner of any interest-equivalent amounts contributed to the Partnership
pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(ii). A reduction of a Partner's Capital Account pursuant to this
Section 6.2(c) shall not be treated as a distribution for purposes of this Agreement, unless the
context so requires.
6.3 Failure to Make Required Payment.
(a) Interest. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, upon any
failure by a Limited Partner to pay a capital contribution in full when due, interest will accrue at
the Default Rate on the outstanding unpaid balance of such capital contribution, from and
including the date such capital contribution was due until the earlier of the date of payment of
such capital contribution by such Partner (or a transferee) or the date on which the General
Partner imposes a default charge pursuant to Section 6.3(b)(i). The "Default Rate" with respect

to any period shall be the lesser of (i) a rate equal to the Prime Rate in effect on the date such
capital contribution is due plus six percent (6%) or (ii) the highest interest rate for such period
permitted by applicable law. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may waive the
requirement to pay interest, in whole or in part.
(b) Default. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if any Limited
Partner fails to make a capital contribution when due, and such failure continues for ten
(10) Business Days after receipt by such Partner of written notice of such failure, then such
Partner (a "Defaulting Partner") shall be in default. The Partnership shall be entitled to enforce
the obligations of each Partner to make the contributions to capital specified in this Agreement,
and the Partnership shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event any such
contribution is not so made. The remedies provided for in this Section 6.3(b) are in addition to
and not in limitation of any other right or remedy of the Partnership provided by law or equity,
this Agreement, or any other agreement entered into by or among any one or more of the
Partners and/or the Partnership (including, without limitation, any subscription agreement
relating to the Partnership). Each Limited Partner hereby agrees that the remedy at law for
damages resulting from its default under this Agreement is inadequate because the funding of
Partnership investments and other obligations requires the timely availability of required capital
contributions. Upon the occurrence of a default, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion,
pursue one or more of the following alternatives:
(i) Impose a Default Charge upon the Defaulting Partner pursuant to
Section 6.3(c);
(ii) Offer the Defaulting Partner's entire interest in the Partnership to
the other Partners for purchase, in proportion to the other Partners' Subscriptions (with Partners
accepting offers being permitted to take up offers declined by other Partners in proportion to
their Subscriptions), at a price for that interest equal to the lesser of the then fair market value of
the interest or the pre-default balance in the Defaulting Partner's Capital Account, subject to
such other terms as the General Partner in its sole discretion shall determine, prov
