As of July 26, 2010

To the Undersigned Purchaser:

          Jefferies SBI USA Fund L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and Jefferies-SBI Strategic Investments USA LLC, a Delaware limited liability company which acts as general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner”), hereby agree with the undersigned “Purchaser” or “you” (in the case of a subscription for the account of a trust or other entity, such terms shall refer to the trustee, fiduciary or representative making the investment decision and executing this Subscription Agreement (this “Agreement”), or the trust or other entity, or both, as appropriate) as follows:

          1. Sale and Purchase of Limited Partner Interest. The Partnership has been formed under the laws of the State of Delaware, and from and after the date of the Closing (as defined below) shall be governed by an Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (as the same may be modified in accordance with the terms of any amendment or supplement thereto or restatement thereof, the “Partnership Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the respective parties contained herein, (a) the Partnership agrees to sell to you and you irrevocably subscribe for and agree to purchase from the Partnership an interest (an “Interest”) as a limited partner in the Partnership, (b) you agree to become a limited partner of the Partnership (a “Limited Partner”), and (c) the Partnership and the General Partner agree that you shall be admitted as a Limited Partner, upon the terms and conditions, and in consideration for your agreement to be bound by the terms and provisions, of the Partnership Agreement and this Agreement, with a capital commitment in the amount equal to the amount set forth opposite your

signature at the end of this Agreement (your “Capital Commitment”). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the Partnership Agreement, your obligation to subscribe and pay for your Interest shall be complete and binding upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, but, for the convenience of the Partnership, your Capital Commitment shall be payable in installments as provided in Section 7.1 of the Partnership Agreement.

          2. Power of Attorney. You hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Capital Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company which acts as manager of the Partnership (the “Manager”), or the successor thereof as manager of the Partnership, with full power of substitution, as your true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, to execute, acknowledge, verify, swear to, deliver, record and file, in its or its assignee’s name, place and stead, all instruments, documents and certificates which may from time to time be required by the laws of the United States of America, the State of Delaware, the State of New York, 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, without limitation, the power and authority to execute, verify, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, record and file:

(a) all certificates and other instruments, including, without limitation, the Partnership Agreement and any amendments thereto that have been approved by the Partnership or are permitted under the Partnership Agreement and the Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the “Certificate”) and any amendments thereto, which the Manager deems appropriate to (i) form, qualify or continue the Partnership as a limited partnership in the State of Delaware and the State of New York and all other jurisdictions in which the Partnership conducts or plans to conduct business and (ii) admit the undersigned as a Limited Partner in the Partnership;

(b) all instruments which the Manager deems appropriate to reflect any amendment to the Partnership Agreement or the Certificate (i) so long as such amendment does not adversely affect the interests of the undersigned Limited Partner, (x) to satisfy any requirements, conditions, guidelines or opinions contained in any opinion, directive, order, ruling or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, or any other U.S. federal or state or foreign agency, or in any U.S. federal or state or foreign statute, compliance with which the Manager deems to be in the best interests of the Partnership, (y) to change the name of the Partnership or (z) to cure any ambiguity or correct or supplement any provision therein contained which may be incomplete or inconsistent with any other provision therein contained so long as such amendment does not adversely affect the interests of the undersigned Limited Partner or (ii) to the extent the amendment is duly adopted in accordance with the Partnership Agreement and the Act;

(c) all conveyances and other instruments which the Manager deems appropriate to reflect and effect the dissolution and termination of the Partnership pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, including the filing of a certificate of cancellation of the Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership as provided for in Section 14 of the Partnership Agreement;

(d) all instruments relating to (i) transfers, sales, assignments, conveyances, pledges, hypothecations or other dispositions of interests of Limited Partners to the extent permitted pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, or the admission of Substitute Limited Partners pursuant to Section 12 of the Partnership Agreement, (ii) the treatment of a Defaulting Limited Partner, an Excused Limited Partner, or a Limited Partner whose participation in an investment is excused, limited or discontinued pursuant to Sections 7.3 or 7.4 of the Partnership Agreement, or (iii) any change in the Capital Commitment of any Limited Partner, all in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement;

(e) certificates of assumed name and such other certificates and instruments as may be necessary under the fictitious or assumed name statutes from time to time in effect in the State of New York and all other jurisdictions in which the Partnership conducts or plans to conduct business; and

(f) any other instruments determined by the Manager to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the proper conduct of the business of the Partnership and which do not adversely affect the interests of the undersigned Limited Partner.

     Such attorney-in-fact and agent shall not, however, have the right, power or authority to amend or modify the Partnership Agreement when acting in such capacities, except to the extent authorized herein.

     The power of attorney granted herein shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable, shall survive and not be affected by the dissolution, bankruptcy, death, incapacity, incompetence or legal disability of the undersigned and shall extend to its successors and assigns. The power of attorney granted herein may be exercised by such attorney-in-fact and agent for all Limited Partners of the Partnership (or any of them) by a single signature of the Manager acting as attorney-in-fact. 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, regular and binding, without further inquiry. If required, the undersigned shall execute and deliver to the Manager, within five days after receipt of a request therefor, such further designations, powers of attorney or other instruments as the Manager shall reasonably deem necessary for the purposes hereof.

          3. Other Subscription Agreements. The Partnership has entered into or expects to enter into separate but substantially identical subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements” and, together with this Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) with other purchasers (the “Other Purchasers”), providing for the sale to the Other Purchasers of Interests and the admission of the Other Purchasers as Limited Partners. The Parallel Funds will also enter into separate but substantially identical subscription agreements with their respective investors (the “Parallel Subscription Agreements”). This Agreement, the Other Subscription Agreements and the Parallel Subscription Agreements are separate agreements. The sales of Interests to you and the Other Purchasers and the sales pursuant to the Parallel Subscription Agreements are to be separate sales.

     4. Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the sale to you, and the subscription for and purchase by you, of an Interest, and your admission as a Limited Partner, shall take place on the date hereof at the offices of Dechert LLP, 1095 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York

10036, upon the execution of this Agreement by each of you and the General Partner. At the Closing, the General Partner will list you as a Limited Partner on Schedule A of the Partnership Agreement following the execution and delivery of the Partnership Agreement by you or on your behalf.

          5. Representations and Warranties of the Partnership and the General Partner. The Partnership and the General Partner jointly and severally represent and warrant that:

     5.1. Formation and Standing. The Partnership is duly formed, validly existing and in good standing as a limited partnership under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has all requisite limited partnership power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted as described in the Confidential Offering Memorandum dated June, 2010 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Memorandum”), relating to the private offering of limited partner interests by Jefferies Capital Partners V L.P. (“JCP V”), an Institutional Parallel Fund to the Partnership, and the Partnership Agreement. The General Partner is duly formed, validly existing and in good standing as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to act as general partner of the Partnership and to carry out the terms of this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement applicable to it. The Manager is duly formed, validly existing and in good standing as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to act as the manager of the Partnership as contemplated by the Memorandum (as described therein with respect to JCP V) and the Partnership Agreement.

     5.2. Authorization of Agreement, etc. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary action on behalf of the Partnership, and this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Partnership, enforceable against the Partnership in accordance with its terms. The execution, delivery and performance by the General Partner of the Partnership Agreement and this Agreement have been authorized by all necessary action on behalf of the General Partner, and each of the Partnership Agreement and this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement of the General Partner, enforceable against the General Partner in accordance with its terms.

     5.3. Compliance with Laws and Other Instruments. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with or result in any violation of or default under any provision of the Partnership Agreement, or any agreement or other instrument to which the Partnership is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound, or any permit, franchise, judgment, decree, statute, order, rule or regulation applicable to the Partnership or its business or properties. The execution and delivery of the Partnership Agreement and this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not conflict with or result in any violation of or default under any provision of the limited liability company agreement of the General Partner, or any agreement or other instrument to which the General Partner is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound, or any permit, franchise, judgment, decree, statute, order, rule or regulation applicable to the General Partner or its business or properties.

     5.4. Offer of Interests. Neither the Partnership nor anyone acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action that would subject the issuance and sale of the Interests to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

     5.5. Investment Company Act. Subject to the accuracy of the representations of the Purchaser in the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto and of the representations of the Other Purchasers in the Investor Questionnaires included in the Other Subscription Agreements, the Partnership is not required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Company Act”).

     5.6. Investment Advisers Act. Neither the Manager nor the General Partner is required to register as an “investment adviser” under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

     5.7. Partnership Liabilities; Litigation. Prior to the date hereof, the Partnership has not incurred any material liabilities other than liabilities in respect of Organizational Expenses. There is no action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the General Partner or the Partnership, threatened against the General Partner, the Manager or the Partnership.

     5.8. Placement Fees. There are no placement or other similar fees in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or the consummation of the sale of your Interest except for such as shall be borne by the Manager, directly or indirectly.

          6. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. You represent and warrant to the Partnership, the General Partner and each of the other Partners that:

     6.1. Authorization of Purchase; Organization. You have the full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to subscribe for and purchase an Interest hereunder. Your purchase of an Interest and your execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on your behalf, and this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement are your legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable against you in accordance with their respective terms.

     6.2. Compliance with Laws and Other Instruments. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the performance of your obligations hereunder and thereunder will not conflict with, or result in any violation of or default under, any provision of any charter, by-laws, trust agreement, partnership agreement, operating agreement or other governing instrument applicable to you, or any agreement or other instrument to which you are a party or by which you or any of your properties are bound, or any permit, franchise, judgment, decree, statute, order, rule or regulation applicable to you or your business or properties.

     6.3. The Memorandum, etc. You have been furnished with a copy of the Memorandum, this Agreement and the form of Partnership Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, and you understand the risks of, and other considerations relating to, a purchase of an Interest, including the risks set forth under the caption “Certain Investment

Considerations” in the Memorandum and the effect of the provisions of Section 7.4 of the Partnership Agreement. You understand that the Memorandum describes specifically JCP V, but that the Partnership shall invest on a pari passu basis with JCP V. You represent and warrant that the Interests were not offered to you by any means of general solicitation or general advertising. In that regard, you are not purchasing the Interests: (a) as a result of or subsequent to becoming aware of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium, generally available electronic communication, broadcast over television or radio or generally available to the public on the Internet or the Worldwide Web; (b) as a result of or subsequent to attendance at a seminar or meeting called by any of the means set forth in (a); or (c) as a result of or subsequent to any solicitations by a person not previously known to you in connection with investments in securities generally. Moreover, you confirm that you have not relied on any representations or other information purported to be given on behalf of the Partnership, except as set forth herein, in the Memorandum, the Partnership Agreement and the opinions of counsel delivered at the Closing, or otherwise supplied by the Partnership or the General Partner.

     6.4. Access to Information. You have been provided an opportunity to ask questions of, and you have received answers thereto satisfactory to you from, the Partnership and its representatives regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of Interests, and you have obtained all additional information requested by you of the Partnership and its representatives to verify the accuracy of all information furnished to you regarding the offering of Interests.

     6.5. Evaluation of and Ability to Bear Risks. You have such knowledge and experience in financial affairs that you are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing an Interest, and you have not relied in connection with this investment upon any representations, warranties or agreements other than those set forth in this Agreement, the Partnership Agreement, the opinions of counsel delivered at the Closing, and the Memorandum. Your financial situation is such that you can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Interest for an indefinite period of time, and you can afford to suffer the complete loss of your investment in the Interest. You are (a) an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and (b) a “qualified purchaser” as defined under Section 2(a)(51)(A) of the Company Act, and you represent and warrant that you have duly completed the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit B and that the information contained therein is true and correct. You hereby agree to promptly notify the General Partner if at any time any of the information provided in the Investor Questionnaire is no longer true and correct.

     6.6. Purchase for Investment. You are acquiring the Interest to be purchased by you pursuant to this Agreement for your own account, not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of all or any part of such Interest. You hereby agree that you will not, directly or indirectly, transfer 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 the Interest) except in accordance with (a) the registration provisions of the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration provisions, (b) any applicable state or non-U.S. securities laws, and (c) the terms of the Partnership Agreement. You understand that you may not transfer your Interest to a person falling under any of the sub-items of Article 63, Paragraph 1, Item 1 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law (“FIEL”). You understand that you must bear the economic risk of an investment in an Interest for an indefinite period of time

because, among other reasons, the Interests are illiquid and the offering and sale of the Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, the Interests cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. You also understand that sales or transfers of the Interests are further restricted by the provisions of the Partnership Agreement, and may be restricted by applicable state and non-U.S. securities laws.

     6.7. Beneficial Ownership, etc. If you are not a natural person, (a) you have not been formed, organized, reorganized, capitalized or recapitalized for the purpose of acquiring an Interest, (b) your Capital Commitment is less than or equal to 20% of your total assets or, if you are an investment fund or other collective investment scheme, less than or equal to 20% of your committed capital, (c) your stockholders, partners, members or other beneficial owners do not have and will not have individual discretion as to their participation in particular investments made by the Partnership, (d) you are not an investment company registered or required to be registered under the Company Act and (e) you are not a participant-directed defined contribution plan. You understand and agree that the representations and warranties set forth above in this Section 6.7 shall be deemed repeated and reaffirmed by you as of each date that you are required to make a contribution of capital to the Partnership pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, and if at any time during the term of the Partnership the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 6.7 shall cease to be true, you shall promptly notify the General Partner. If you are unable to make any of the representations set forth in the preceding sentences of this Section 6.7, you shall have so indicated to the General Partner in writing and shall have provided the General Partner at least five Business Days prior to the date hereof with evidence (including opinions of outside counsel, if requested by the General Partner) satisfactory in form and substance to the General Partner relating to compliance with the Securities Act, the Company Act and such other governmental rules and regulations as the General Partner shall request.

     6.8. Certain ERISA Matters. You represent that no part of the funds used by you to acquire an Interest constitutes assets of any “benefit plan investor” within the meaning of section 3(42) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and U.S. Department of Labor regulation 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-101, including assets allocated to any insurance company separate account in which any such employee benefit plan (or its related trust) has any interest. You acknowledge that, as a Limited Partner, you generally will have no right to withdraw from the Partnership.

     6.9. Certain Tax Matters. Either (a) you are not a partnership, grantor trust, or S corporation, or (b) you are such an entity, but (i) less than 65% of your value is attributable to your interests in the Partnership, and (ii) permitting the Partnership to satisfy the 100-partner limitation in Treasury Regulations section 1.7704-1(h)(ii) is not a principal purpose of your beneficial owners investing in the Partnership through you; provided that if you are unable to make either such representation, you shall have so indicated to the General Partner in writing and shall have provided the General Partner with evidence (including opinions of counsel) satisfactory in form and substance to the General Partner relating the status of the Partnership under section 7704 of the Code.

     6.10. Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Regulations, etc.

     (a) Either (i) the Purchaser (A) is subscribing for an Interest for the Purchaser’s own account, own risk and own beneficial interest, (B) is not acting as an agent, representative, intermediary, nominee or in a similar capacity for any other person or entity, nominee account or beneficial owner, whether a natural person or entity (each such natural person or entity, an “Underlying Beneficial Owner”) and no Underlying Beneficial Owner will have a beneficial or economic interest in the Interest being purchased by the Purchaser (whether directly or indirectly, including without limitation, through any option, swap, forward or any other hedging or derivative transaction), (C) if it is an entity, including a fund-of-funds, trust, pension plan or any other entity that is not a natural person (each, an “Entity”), has carried out thorough due diligence as to and established the identities of such Entity’s partners, members, shareholders, directors, officers, trustees, beneficiaries and grantors (to the extent applicable, each a “Related Person” of such Entity), holds the evidence of such identities, will maintain all such evidence for at least five years from the end of the Investment Term, will request such additional information as the Partnership may require to verify such identities as may be required by applicable law, and will make such information available to the Partnership upon its request, and (D) does not have the intention or obligation to transfer all or a portion of its Interest to any Underlying Beneficial Owner or any other person; or (ii) the Purchaser (A) is subscribing for an Interest as a record owner and will not have a beneficial ownership interest in the Interest, (B) is acting as an agent, representative, intermediary, nominee or in a similar capacity for one or more Underlying Beneficial Owners and understands and acknowledges that the representations, warranties and covenants made in this Agreement are made by the Purchaser with respect to both the Purchaser and the Underlying Beneficial Owner(s), (C) has all requisite power and authority from the Underlying Beneficial Owner(s) to execute and perform the obligations under this Agreement, (D) has carried out thorough due diligence as to and established the identities of all Underlying Beneficial Owners (and the identities of such Underlying Beneficial Owner’s Related Persons (to the extent applicable)), holds the evidence of such identities, will maintain all such evidence for at least five years from the end of the Investment Term, and will make such information available to the Partnership upon its request and (E) does not have the intention or obligation to transfer all or a portion of its Interest to any person other than the Underlying Beneficial Owner(s).

     (b) If the Purchaser is a “financial institution” as such term is defined in the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. § 5311 et seq.), as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, as such regulations may be amended from time to time (the “Bank Secrecy Act”), the Purchaser has anti-money laundering policies and procedures in place reasonably designed to collect information with respect to and verify the identity of its Underlying Beneficial Owners or Related Persons.

     (c) Assuming the accuracy of the representations made by the General Partner and the Partnership in Section 5, the purchase of an Interest that is being made on its own behalf or, if applicable, on behalf of any Underlying Beneficial Owner does not contravene, and amounts to be contributed by the Purchaser or any Underlying Beneficial Owner to the Partnership were and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene U.S. federal, state, local or international laws and regulations applicable to the Purchaser or such Underlying Beneficial Owner, as the case may be, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations (a “Prohibited Investment”).

     (d) Federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at <▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇>. Neither the Purchaser nor, if applicable, any Underlying Beneficial Owner or Related Person, is a country, territory, person or entity named on an OFAC list, nor is the Purchaser nor, if applicable, any Underlying Beneficial Owner or Related Person, a natural person or entity with whom dealings are prohibited under any OFAC regulations.

     (e) Neither the Purchaser nor, if applicable, any Underlying Beneficial Owner or Related Person, is a senior foreign political figure, or any immediate family member or close associate of a senior foreign political figure within the meaning of, and applicable guidance issued by the Department of the Treasury concerning, the Bank Secrecy Act.

     (f) Neither the Purchaser nor, if applicable, any Underlying Beneficial Owner or Related Person, is a foreign bank without a physical presence in any country other than a foreign bank that (i) is an affiliate of a depositary institution, credit union or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or a foreign country, as applicable, and (ii) is subject to supervision by a banking authority in the country regulating such affiliated depositary institution, credit union, or foreign bank. A foreign bank described in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) is referred to herein as a “Regulated Affiliate”, and a foreign bank without a physical presence in any country that is not a Regulated Affiliate is referred to herein as a “Foreign Shell Bank”. In addition, the Capital Contributions of the Purchaser and, if applicable, any Underlying Beneficial Owner, do not originate from, nor will they be routed through, an account maintained at (A) a Foreign Shell Bank or (B) a foreign bank (other than a Regulated Affiliate) that is barred, pursuant to its banking license, from conducting banking activities with the citizens of, or with the local currency of, the country that issued the license.

     (g) The Purchaser agrees promptly to notify the General Partner should the Purchaser become aware of any change in the information set forth in paragraphs (a) through (f) of this Section 6.10. The Purchaser is advised that, by law, the Partnership may be obligated to “freeze the account” of such Purchaser, either by prohibiting additional contributions of capital or subscriptions for Interests, declining any requests by you to transfer your Interest and/or segregating the assets in the Purchaser’s account in compliance with governmental regulations, and the Partnership may also be required to report such action and to disclose the Purchaser’s identity to OFAC or other government agencies. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Purchaser shall have no claim against any Covered Person for any form of damages as a result of any of the actions described in this Section 6.10(g).

     (h) The Purchaser understands and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Partnership Agreement, if, following the Purchaser’s purchase of an Interest, it is discovered that the investment is or has become a Prohibited Investment, such purchase may immediately be redeemed by the Partnership or otherwise be subject to the remedies required by law, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Purchaser shall have no claim against the Partnership or the General Partner for any Claims or Damages relating to or arising out of such forced redemption or other action.

     (i) The Purchaser agrees to provide the General Partner at any time during the life of the Partnership with such information as the General Partner determines to be necessary and appropriate to verify compliance with the anti-money laundering laws and regulations of any applicable jurisdiction, including laws and regulations applicable to a portfolio investment of the Partnership, or to respond to requests for information concerning the identity of Limited Partners from any governmental entity (including any governmental body, agency, authority or instrumentality in any jurisdiction exercising executive, legislative, regulatory or administrative functions of government), self-regulatory organization or financial institution in connection with its anti- money laundering compliance procedures, and to update such information as necessary. The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Partnership may be required to release confidential information about the Purchaser and, if applicable, any Underlying Beneficial Owner or Related Person to any person, if the General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines that such disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations.

The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 6 shall be deemed repeated and reaffirmed by the Purchaser as of each date that the Purchaser is required to make a contribution of capital to or receives a distribution from the Partnership. If at any time during the life of the Partnership the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 6 shall cease to be true, the Purchaser shall promptly so notify the General Partner in writing.

          7. Management Fee. In consideration of the investment advisory and management services referred to in Section 3.1 of the Partnership Agreement, you shall pay to the Manager an annual fee (the “Management Fee”) in installments, payable when billed for the period from the Closing through December 31, 2010, and thereafter semi-annually in advance as of each July 1 and January 1 thereafter prior to the expiration of the Investment Term (each, a “Payment Date”), in an amount not in excess of your Remaining Capital Commitment calculated as follows:

     (a) (i) through the earliest of (x) the termination of the Investment Period, (y) one year after the date on which an amount equal to 75% of the aggregate Capital Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Limited Partners (excluding Capital Commitments reserved but not yet committed for Follow-on Investments) have been invested or committed for investment and (z) the date on which the Principals hold an initial closing in respect of a new private equity fund having the same investment objective as the Partnership, an amount equal to 2% per annum of your Capital Commitment, and (ii) thereafter until the last day of the Investment Term, an amount equal to 1.75% per annum of your pro rata share (expressed as a fraction, the numerator of which is your Capital Commitment and the denominator of which is an amount equal to the aggregate Capital Commitments of all the Partners) of the aggregate Carrying Value of the Portfolio Investments from time to time held by the Partnership;

     (i) reduced, but not below zero, by an amount equal to your pro rata share (expressed as a fraction, the numerator of which is your Capital Commitment and the denominator of which is an amount equal to the aggregate Capital Commitments of all the Partners) of the Partnership’s proportionate share (based on the Committed Capital of the Partnership and the Institutional Parallel Funds) of 80% of all Fee Income received by the Manager or the General Partner since the previous Payment Date.

Investment Purposes. For purposes of determining if something is an “Investment” the following applies. Real estate is not considered to be held for Investment Purposes by an investor if it is used

by the investor or a Related Person, as described below, for personal purposes or as a place of business, or in connection with the conduct of the trade or business of the investor or a Related Person, provided that real estate owned by an investor that is engaged primarily in the business of investing, trading or developing real estate in connection with such business may be deemed to be held for Investment Purposes. Residential real estate is not deemed to be used for personal purposes if deductions with respect to such real estate are not disallowed by Section 280A of the Code. A Commodity Interest or Physical Commodity owned, or a financial contract entered into, by an investor that is engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in Commodity Interests, Physical Commodities or financial contracts in connection with such business may be deemed to be held for Investment Purposes. The term “Related Person” generally means a person who is related to the investor as a sibling, spouse or former spouse, or is a direct lineal descendant or ancestor by birth or adoption of the investor, or is a spouse of such descendant or ancestor, provided that, in the case of a Family Company, a Related Person includes any owner of the Family Company and any person who is a Related Person of such owner.

Valuation. For purposes of determining whether an investor is a qualified purchaser, the aggregate amount of Investments owned and invested on a discretionary basis by the investor is the Investments’ fair market value on the most recent practicable date or their cost, provided that: in the case of Commodity Interests, the amount of Investments is the value of the initial margin or option premium deposited in connection with such Commodity Interests; and, in each case, certain deductions (described below) from the amount of Investments owned by the investor must be made. In determining whether any person is a qualified purchaser there is deducted from the amount of such person’s Investments the amount of any outstanding indebtedness incurred to acquire or for the purpose of acquiring the Investments owned by such person. Additionally, in determining whether a Family Company is a qualified purchaser, there will be deducted from the value of such Family Company’s Investments any outstanding indebtedness incurred by an owner of the Family Company to acquire such Investments.

Joint Investments. In determining whether a natural person is a qualified purchaser, there may be included in the amount of such person’s Investments any Investments held jointly with such person’s spouse, or Investments in which such person shares with such person’s spouse a community property or similar shared ownership interest. In determining whether spouses who are making a joint investment in the Partnership are qualified purchasers, there may be included in the amount of each spouse’s Investments any Investments owned by the other spouse (whether or not such Investments are held jointly). In each case, the amount of any such Investments will be reduced by any deductions specified above (under “Valuation”) with respect to each spouse.

Investments by Subsidiaries. For purposes of determining the amount of Investments owned by a company under “Qualified Purchaser” in the Investor Eligibility section above, there may be included Investments owned by majority-owned subsidiaries of the company and Investments owned by a company (“Parent Company”) of which the company is a majority-owned subsidiary, or by a majority-owned subsidiary of the company and other majority-owned subsidiaries of the Parent Company.

Certain Retirement Plans and Trusts. In determining whether a natural person is a qualified purchaser, there may be included in the amount of such person’s Investments any Investments held in an individual retirement account or similar account the Investments of which are directed by and held for the benefit of such person.
