(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. 5 EFTA00805990 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.

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.

(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.

Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Partnership shall pay the Management Company a management fee (the "Management Fee"), equal to two 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 Management Fee for such quarter will be pro-rated based on the number of days remaining in such quarter as of the Initial Closing Date (and including such date) divided by the total number of days in such quarter. Payments of the Management Fee shall be made quarterly in advance on the first Business Day of each fiscal quarter of the Partnership, provided that the first payment shall be due upon the Initial Drawdown Date (for Management Fees accrued from the Initial Closing Date). ARTICLE VI CAPITAL OF THE PARTNERSHIP 6.1 Obligation to Contribute. (a) In General. Each Partner shall make capital contributions to the 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 Partner, such date being referred to herein as the "Initial Drawdown Date". (c) Additional Contributions: Deficiency Drawdowns. The General Partner is 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 notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Limited Partner has failed to make a capital 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 10 EFTA00805995 CONFIDENTIAL 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 11 EFTA00805996 CONFIDENTIAL 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
