(a) Limited Partners. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by the Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Partnership, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Partnership, and no Limited Partner shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Partnership solely by reason of it being a Limited Partner.

(b) General Partner. Subject to Section 4.2, the General Partner shall be subject to all of the liabilities of a general partner in a partnership without limited partners.

4.2 Exculpation.

(a) Generally. No Covered Person shall be liable to the Partnership or any other Partner for any act or omission taken or suffered by such Covered Person in good faith and in the reasonable belief that such act or omission is in or is not contrary to the best interests of the Partnership and is within the scope of authority granted to such Covered Person by this Agreement, provided that such act or omission does not constitute Disabling Conduct of the Covered Person. No Partner shall be liable to the Partnership or any Partner for any action taken by any other Partner.

(b) Reliance Generally. A Covered Person shall incur no liability in acting upon any signature or writing reasonably believed by such Covered Person to be genuine, and may rely in good faith on a certificate signed by an executive officer of any Person in order to ascertain any fact with respect to such Person or within such Person’s knowledge and may rely in good faith on an opinion of counsel selected with reasonable care by such Covered Person with respect to legal matters. Each Covered Person may act directly or through such Covered Person’s agents or attorneys. Each Covered Person may consult with counsel, appraisers, engineers, accountants and other skilled Persons of such Covered Person’s choosing and shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith and within the scope of this Agreement in reasonable reliance upon the advice of any of such Persons. No Covered Person shall be liable to the Partnership or any Partner for any error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer or employee of such Covered Person or such Covered Person’s Affiliate. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.2, no Covered Person shall be liable to the Partnership or any Partner for any mistake of fact or judgment by such Covered Person in conducting the affairs of the Partnership or otherwise acting in respect of and within the scope of this Agreement.

(c) Reliance on this Agreement. To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or to the Partners, any Covered Person acting under this Agreement or otherwise shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for such Covered Person’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they address the duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

(d) Not Liable for Return of Capital Contributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Covered Person shall be liable for the return of the Capital Contributions or Capital Account of any Partner, and such return shall be made solely from the Available Assets of the Partnership, if any, and each Partner hereby waives any and all claims that he, she or it may have against each Covered Person in this regard.

4.3 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification Generally. Subject to Section 4.3(c), the Partnership shall and hereby does, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and release (and each Partner does hereby release) each Covered Person from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, costs, expenses, damages, losses, suits, proceedings and actions, whether judicial, administrative, investigative or otherwise, of whatever nature, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated (“Claims”), that may accrue to or be incurred by any Covered Person, or in which any Covered Person may become involved, as a party or otherwise, or with which any Covered Person may be threatened, relating to or arising out of the investment or other activities of the Partnership, or activities undertaken in connection with the Partnership, or otherwise relating to or arising out of this Agreement, including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines or penalties, and counsel fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation for or defense or disposition of any investigation, action, suit, arbitration or other proceeding (a “Proceeding”), whether civil or criminal (all of such Claims and amounts covered by this Section 4.3, and all expenses referred to in Section 4.3(b), are referred to collectively as “Damages”), except to the extent that it shall have been determined ultimately by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Damages arose primarily from the Disabling Conduct of such Covered Person. The termination of any Proceeding by settlement shall not, of itself, create a presumption that any Damages relating to such settlement or otherwise relating to such Proceedings arose primarily from the Disabling Conduct of, any Covered Person.

(b) Expenses, etc. The reasonable expenses incurred by a Covered Person (including the General Partner and its Affiliates) in defense or settlement of any Claim that may be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder may be advanced by the Partnership to such Covered Person prior to the final disposition thereof with the consent of the General Partner upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined ultimately by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder.

(c) Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by a Covered Person of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding that might give rise to a claim for indemnification by such Covered Person hereunder, such Covered Person shall give written notice to the Partnership of the commencement of such Proceeding, provided that the failure of any Covered Person to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Partnership of its obligations under this Section 4.3 except to the extent that the Partnership is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such Proceeding is brought against a Covered Person (other than a derivative suit in right of the Partnership), the Partnership will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof to the extent that the Partnership may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Covered Person. After notice from the Partnership to such Covered Person of the Partnership’s election to assume the defense thereof, the Partnership will not be liable for expenses subsequently incurred by such Covered Person in connection with the defense thereof. The right of any Covered Person to the indemnification provided herein shall be cumulative with, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Covered Person may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Covered Person’s successors, assigns and legal representatives.

The Carry Percentage of each Limited Partner shall also be set forth in an agreement between the Partnership and such Limited Partner substantially in the form of Annex A hereto, with such modifications as may be agreed to by the General Partner and the Limited Partner party thereto (with respect to each Partner, such Partner’s “Carry Agreement”). Each Partner’s Carry Percentage shall be subject to adjustment as provided in such Partner’s Carry Agreement. In addition, the General Partner may from time to time, without the consent of any Limited Partner, adjust any Active Partner’s Carry Percentage by allocating additional Carry Percentage to such Active Partner and correspondingly reducing the Carry Percentage of the General Partner. If deemed advisable by the General Partner, the General Partner shall have the discretion to make any such adjustment effective only with respect to Carried Interest attributable to increases in value in the Fund’s investments occurring after the date of such adjustment, and to amend or interpret the provisions of this Agreement (including Article VI) to give effect thereto.

(b) Adjustments to Carry Percentages in Connection with the Admission of Additional Partners. In connection with the admission of an Additional Partner as provided in Section 8.1 and without the consent of any Limited Partner, the General Partner may allocate to such Additional Partner such Carry Percentage as the General Partner may determine and correspondingly reduce the Carry Percentages of the Active Partners as the General Partner may determine, to the extent necessary for the sum of the Carry Percentages to equal 100%. If deemed advisable by the General Partner, the General Partner shall have the discretion to make any such adjustment effective only with respect to Carried Interest attributable to increases in value in the Fund’s investments occurring after the date of such adjustment, and to amend or interpret the provisions of this Agreement (including Article VI) to give effect thereto.

(c) Additional Adjustments with Respect to Active Partners. Following a designation of a Partner as an Inactive Partner and any adjustments to such Inactive Partner’s

Carry Percentage pursuant to such Partner’s Carry Agreement, the General Partner shall, without the consent of any Limited Partner, reallocate any reduction in the Carry Percentage of such Inactive Partner to such Partners (including itself) as the General Partner may determine.

ARTICLE VI

CAPITAL ACCOUNTS; DISTRIBUTIONS; ALLOCATIONS; WITHHOLDING

6.1 Capital Accounts. There shall be established on the books and records of the Partnership a capital account (a “Capital Account”) for each Partner.

6.2 Adjustments to Capital Accounts. As of the last day of each Period, the balance in each Partner’s Capital Account shall be adjusted by (a) increasing such balance by (i) such Partner’s allocable share of each item of the Partnership’s income and gain for such Period (allocated in accordance with Section 6.8) and (ii) the Capital Contribution, if any, made by such Partner during such Period, (b) decreasing such balance by (i) the amount of cash or the Value of Securities or other property distributed to such Partner pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) such Partner’s allocable share of each item of the Partnership’s loss and deduction for such Period (allocated in accordance with Section 6.8). Each Partner’s Capital Account shall be further adjusted with respect to any special allocations or adjustments pursuant to this Agreement.

6.3 Distributions.

(a) Timing and Form of Distributions. The General Partner shall, after establishing reserves for material anticipated obligations or commitments of the Partnership, make distributions pursuant to Section 6.3(b) of amounts received by the Partnership from the Fund at such time or times as the General Partner shall determine in its sole discretion.

(b) Making of Distributions. Subject to Section 4.3 and to the other provisions of this Article VI, distributions to the Partners shall be made as follows:

(i) Capital Percentage Distributions. Distributions received pursuant to section 6.4(b) of the Fund Agreement shall be distributed to the Partners in proportion to their Capital Percentages.

(ii) Carry Percentage Distributions. Distributions of Carried Interest shall be distributed to the Partners in proportion to their Carry Percentages as they may be adjusted pursuant to this Agreement and the Carry Agreements.

(iii) Other Distributions. Distributions not described in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section 6.3(b) shall be distributed to the Active Partners in such proportions as shall be determined by the General Partner.

6.4 Tax Distributions. Notwithstanding Section 6.3, the General Partner may, to the extent of available cash, make distributions to the Partners in amounts sufficient to enable the Partners to discharge their U.S. federal, state and local income tax liabilities arising from the allocations made pursuant to this Agreement. The amount distributable pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be determined by the General Partner based on such assumptions as the General Partner

determines to be appropriate. The amount distributed to any Partner pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Partner pursuant to the relevant clause of Section 6.3, and shall be deemed to have been distributed to the extent of such reduction pursuant to such clause of Section 6.3.

6.5 General Distribution Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, distributions shall be made only to the extent of Available Assets and in compliance with the Act and other applicable law. Any distribution by the Partnership pursuant to Article VI or IX to the Person shown on the Partnership’s records as a Partner or to such Partner’s legal representatives, or to the transferee of such Person’s right to receive such distributions as provided herein, shall acquit the Partnership of all liability to any other Person that may be interested in such distribution by reason of any Transfer of such Person’s interest in the Partnership for any reason (including a Transfer of such interest by reason of the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of such Person).

6.6 Distributions in Kind. In the event that a distribution of Marketable Securities or other Securities is made, such Securities shall be deemed to have been sold at their Value and the proceeds of such sale shall be deemed to have been distributed in cash to the Partners for all purposes of this Agreement. Distributions of Marketable Securities and any other Securities or other property shall be made in proportion to the aggregate amounts that would be distributed to each Partner pursuant to Section 6.3, as determined by the General Partner. The General Partner may cause certificates evidencing any Securities to be distributed to be imprinted with legends as to such restrictions on Transfer as the General Partner may determine are necessary or appropriate, including legends as to applicable U.S. federal or state or non-U.S. securities laws or other legal or contractual restrictions, and may require any Partner to which Securities are to be distributed, as a condition to such distribution, to agree in writing (a) that such Partner will not Transfer such Securities except in compliance with such restrictions and (b) to such other matters as the General Partner may determine are necessary or appropriate.

6.7 No Withdrawal of Capital. Except as otherwise provided herein, no Partner shall have the right to withdraw capital from the Partnership or to receive any distribution of or return on such Partner’s Capital Contributions.

6.8 Allocations to Capital Accounts. Except as otherwise provided herein, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Partnership (determined in accordance with U.S. tax principles as applied to the maintenance of capital accounts) shall be allocated among the Capital Accounts of the Partners with respect to each Period, as of the end of such Period, in a manner that as closely as possible gives economic effect to the provisions of Articles VI and IX and the other relevant provisions of this Agreement. No Partner shall be required to make up a negative balance in such Partner’s Capital Account.

6.9 Tax Allocations and Other Tax Matters. Except as otherwise provided herein, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction recognized by the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes in the same manner that each such item is allocated to the Partners’ Capital Accounts or as otherwise provided herein, provided that the General Partner may adjust such allocations as may be necessary or desirable to maintain substantial economic effect, or to ensure that such allocations are in accordance with

the interests of the “partners in the partnership,” in each case, within the meaning of the Code and the Treasury Regulations. Tax credits and tax credit recapture shall be allocated in accordance with the interests of the Partners in the Partnership as provided in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii). All matters concerning allocations for U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. income tax purposes, including accounting procedures, not expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement shall be determined in good faith by the General Partner. The General Partner is hereby designated as the tax matters partner of the Partnership, in accordance with the Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant to section 6231 of the Code and any similar provisions under any other state or local or non-U.S. tax laws. Each Limited Partner hereby consents to such designation and agrees that, upon the request of the General Partner, he, she or it will execute, certify, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such consent. The Partnership shall not elect to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal, state or local income tax purposes under Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-3(a) or under any corresponding provision of state or local law. The Partnership shall not participate in the establishment of an “established securities market” (within the meaning of section 1.7704-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations) or a “secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof” (within the meaning of section 1.7704-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations) or, in either case, the inclusion of interests in the Partnership thereon.

6.10 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Carry Agreement, each Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold and to pay over, or otherwise pay, any withholding or other taxes payable by the Partnership or any of its Affiliates (pursuant to the Code or any provision of U.S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. tax law) with respect to such Partner or as a result of such Partner’s status as a partner hereunder. If and to the extent that the Partnership shall be required to withhold or pay any such withholding or other taxes, such Partner shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement and the Carry Agreement to have received a payment from the Partnership as of the time that such withholding or other tax is required to be paid, which payment shall be deemed to be a distribution with respect to such Partner’s interest in the Partnership to the extent that such Partner (or any successor to such Partner’s interest in the Partnership) would have received a distribution but for such withholding. To the extent that such payment exceeds the cash distribution that such Partner would have received but for such withholding, the General Partner shall notify such Partner as to the amount of such excess and such Partner shall make a prompt payment to the Fund of such amount, which payment shall not constitute a Capital Contribution and, consequently, shall not increase such Partner’s Capital Account. The Partnership may hold back from any such distribution in kind property having a value equal to the amount of such taxes until the Partnership has received payment of such amount. In addition, if and to the extent that the Partnership or the Fund receives a distribution or payment from or in respect of which tax was withheld, as a result of (or attributable to) such Partner’s status as a Partner under this Agreement, as determined by the General Partner, such Partner shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have received a distribution from the Partnership as of the time that such withholding was paid. Unless the General Partner determines otherwise, the withholdings by the Partnership referred to in this Section 6.10 shall be made at the maximum applicable statutory rate under the applicable tax law.

6.11 Final Distribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VI, the final distribution following the dissolution of the Partnership shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.3.

6.12 Return of Distributions. If the Partnership is obligated under section 11.3 (general partner clawback) of the Fund Agreement to contribute to the Fund all or a portion of the distributions received by the Partnership from the Fund, the Partners shall be required to fund, and hereby agree to fund, such obligation in proportion to and up to an amount not to exceed, in the case of each Partner, the aggregate distributions received by such Partner pursuant to Section 6.3(b)(ii) (not including distributions made (or that could have been made) pursuant to Section 6.4 that are deemed (or would have been deemed) to be distributions under Section 6.3(b)(ii)). Subject to the preceding sentence of this Section 6.12, if the Partnership is obligated under section 9.2 (limited partner clawback) of the Fund Agreement to contribute to the Fund all or a portion of the distributions received by the Partnership from the Fund, the Partners shall be required to fund such obligation in proportion to and up to an amount not to exceed, in the case of each Partner, the aggregate distributions received by such Partner pursuant to Section 6.3. Each such Partner shall make contributions to the Partnership in satisfaction of such obligation. A Partner’s obligation to make contributions to the Partnership under this Section 6.12 shall survive the dissolution, liquidation, winding up and termination of the Partnership, and for purposes of this Section 6.12, the Partnership may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies that it may have against each Partner under this Section 6.12, including instituting a lawsuit to collect such contribution with interest from the date that such contribution was required to be paid under this Section 6.12 calculated at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 2% per annum (but not in excess of the highest rate per annum permitted by law).

Upon advance written notice to the General Partner, such books and records shall be available for inspection and copying by the Limited Partners or their duly authorized representatives during normal business hours for any purpose reasonably related to such Partner’s interest in the Partnership, provided that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Limited Partners shall not have access to the portions of such books and records that the General Partner determines would permit the identification of the Capital Contributions, Capital Account Balances, Carry Percentages and Capital Percentages of the other Partners, and provided, further, that, except to the extent that applicable law otherwise requires, an Inactive Partner shall have no right to inspect or copy the books and records of the Partnership.

such Partner’s name, place and stead, all instruments, documents and certificates that may from time to time be required by the laws of the United States, the State of Delaware, any other jurisdiction in which the Partnership conducts or plans to conduct business, or any political subdivision or agency thereof, to effectuate, implement and continue the valid existence and business of the Partnership, including the power and authority to execute, verify, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, record and file:

Any Person dealing with the Partnership may conclusively presume and rely upon the fact that any instrument referred to above, executed by such attorney-in-fact and agent, is authorized and binding, without further inquiry.

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

(a) Capacity. Such Partner has the full capacity, power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to subscribe for and purchase an interest as a partner of the Partnership. Such Partner has duly executed and delivered this Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Partner, enforceable against such Partner in accordance with its terms.

(b) Compliance with Laws and Other Instruments. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the performance of such Partner’s obligations hereunder will not conflict with, or result in any violation of or default under, any provision of any agreement or other instrument to which such Partner is a party or by which such Partner or any of such Partner’s assets are bound, or any judgment, decree, statute, order, rule or regulation applicable to such Partner or such Partner’s assets.

(c) Access to Information. Such Partner has carefully reviewed this Agreement, the Fund Agreement and the private placement memorandum of the Fund, as supplemented through the date hereof, relating to the offering of interests in the Fund.

those set forth in this Agreement. Such Partner’s financial situation is such that such Partner can afford to bear the economic risk of holding an interest in the Partnership for an indefinite period of time, and such Partner can afford to suffer the complete loss of such Partner’s investment in such interest.

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

(f) Accredited Investor. Except as otherwise indicated to the General Partner in writing, either (i) such Partner’s net worth, or such Partner’s joint net worth with such Partner’s spouse, at the time that such Partner is admitted to the Partnership, exceeds $1,000,000 or (ii) such Partner had individual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with such Partner’s spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years, and such Partner has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year.

(g) Knowledgeable Employee. Except as otherwise indicated to the General Partner in writing, such Partner is a “Knowledgeable Employee,” as such term is defined in Rule 3c-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless such Partner has notified the Partnership in writing prior to such Partner’s admission to the Partnership as a partner that such Partner is not a Knowledgeable Employee. The term “Knowledgeable Employee” shall include (a) any executive officer (which includes the president, any vice president in charge of a principal business unit, division or function (such as administration or finance), any other officer who performs a policy-making function, or any other person who performs similar policy-making functions, for the Fund, Oaktree or the Partnership), director, trustee, general partner, managing member, advisory board member, or person serving in a similar capacity, of the Fund, Oaktree or the Partnership or (b) any employee of the Fund, Oaktree or the Partnership (other than an employee performing solely clerical, secretarial or administrative functions with regard to such entity or its investments) who, in connection with such employee’s regular functions or duties, participates in the investment activities of the Fund, other companies that would be investment companies but for the exclusion provided by section 3(c)(1) or section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act, or investment companies the investment activities of which are managed by Oaktree, provided that such employee has been performing such functions and

duties for or on behalf of the Fund, Oaktree or the Partnership, or substantially similar functions or duties for or on behalf of another entity, for at least 12 months.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
