ARTICLE IV

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS

Section 4.1 Restrictions On Transfers.

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no issuance or Transfer of Interests otherwise permitted or required by this Agreement shall be made unless such issuance or Transfer is in compliance with U.S. and other federal and state securities laws, including the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and the Partnership Act.

(b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the General Partner, no Transfer of Interests otherwise permitted or required by this Agreement shall be effective unless and until any transferee who is not already a party to this Agreement (and such transferee’s spouse, if applicable) shall execute and deliver to the Partnership an Addendum Agreement in which such transferee (and such transferee’s spouse, if applicable) agrees to be bound by this Agreement and to observe and comply with this Agreement and with all obligations and restrictions imposed on the Partners hereby and thereby. Any Person who is not already a party to this Agreement and acquires Interests in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be required to become a party to this Agreement by executing (together with such Person’s spouse, if applicable) an Addendum Agreement.

(c) Transfers of Interests may be made only in strict compliance with all applicable terms of this Agreement and the Investors Agreement, and any purported Transfer of Interests that does not so comply with all applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Investors Agreement shall be null and void and of no force or effect, and the Partnership shall not recognize or be bound by any such purported Transfer and shall not effect any such purported Transfer on the transfer books of the Partnership or Capital Accounts of the Partners. The parties hereto agree that the restrictions contained in this Article IV and the Investors Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Partnership and its Partners.

(d) All newly issued Interests shall only be issued to Persons who are or become party to this Agreement by execution of an Addendum Agreement.

(e) Transfers made in accordance with this Agreement shall be effected by such documents and instruments as are necessary to comply with the Partnership Act and other applicable Cayman Islands Law, including the Addendum Agreement or such other form of instrument of Transfer approved by the General Partner.

Section 4.2 Public Offering. Subject to Section 7.2.1(f) of the Shareholders’ Agreement and Section 2.1 of the Investors Agreement, the General Partner may, in advance of, and in order to facilitate, a public offering of securities of the Partnership, or for other reasons which the General Partner deems to be in the best interests of the Partnership, take such action to cause the Partnership to incorporate its business, or any portion thereof, or to provide for a share capital, convert in accordance with Cayman Islands Law to a company limited by shares or other capital structure as the General Partner may determine, form a subsidiary holding company and distribute its shares to the Partners, consolidate or merge with one or more of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, move the Partnership or any successor to another jurisdiction to facilitate any of the foregoing, or take such other steps as it deems necessary to create a suitable vehicle for an offering, in each such case in accordance with the Partnership Act and applicable Law (a “Conversion”); provided, that, the terms and conditions of any such Conversion will maintain the relative economic terms of and differences between the Class A Interests and the Class B Interests, and provided further that the General Partner shall use commercially reasonable methods to cause the Conversion to be achieved on a tax-efficient basis to the Limited Partners. The manner of effecting the Conversion of the Partnership shall be determined by the General Partner, consistent with Section 7.2.1(f) of the Shareholders’ Agreement and Section 2.1 of the Investors Agreement. The General Partner may also designate one or more of the direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Partnership as the vehicle(s) for such public offering consistent with Section 7.2.1(f) of the Shareholders Agreement and Section 2.1 of the Investors Agreement.

Section 4.3 Specific Performance. Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges that it shall be impossible to measure in money the damage to the Partnership or the Partners(s), if any of them or any transferee or any legal representative of any party hereto fails to comply with any of the restrictions or obligations imposed by this Article IV, that every such restriction and obligation is material, and that in the event of any such failure, neither the Partnership nor the Partner(s) shall have an adequate remedy at law or in damages. Therefore, each party hereto consents to the issuance of an injunction or the enforcement of other equitable remedies against it at the suit of an aggrieved party without the posting of any bond or other equity security, to compel specific performance of all of the terms of this Article IV and to prevent any Transfer of Interests in contravention of any terms of this Article IV, and waives any defenses thereto, including, without limitation, the defenses of: (i) failure of consideration; (ii) breach of any other provision of this Agreement; and (iii) availability of relief in damages. The provisions of this Section 4.3 shall terminate with respect to any Principal Investor Group upon a Qualified Public Offering.

Section 6.2 Management Limited Partners’ Additional Representations and Warranties. Each Management Limited Partner further represents and warrants to the Partnership and other Partners that, as of the date hereof:

(a) the Management Limited Partner’s financial situation is such that such Management Limited Partner can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Interests for an indefinite period of time, has adequate means for providing for the Management Limited Partner’s current needs and personal contingencies, and can afford to suffer a complete loss of the Management Limited Partner’s investment in the Interests;

(c) the Management Limited Partner understands that the Interests are a speculative investment which involves a high degree of risk of loss of such Management Limited Partner’s investment therein, there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Interests and, on the date on which such Management Limited Partner acquires such Interests and for an indefinite period following such date, there will be no public market for the Interests and, accordingly, it may not be possible for the Management Limited Partner to liquidate the Management Limited Partner’s investment including in case of emergency, if at all;

ARTICLE VII

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 7.1 Distributions. Subject in each case to restrictions imposed by Law, distributions to the Partners with respect to the Interests shall be made by the Partnership as follows:

(a) During the term of the Partnership (including upon the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership), cash or other property available for distribution may be distributed from time to time as the General Partner may determine, but any such distribution shall be made in the following order of priority:

(i) First, to the General Partner until the General Partner has received $1,000 pursuant to all distributions under this Section 7.1;

(ii) Second, pro rata to each holder of Class A Interests based on its Percentage Interest of Class A Interests until such Class A Limited Partner has received an aggregate amount under this Section 7.1(a)(ii) equal to its Capital Contributions; and

(iii) Third, so long as each Class A Limited Partner has received an aggregate amount under Section 7.1(a)(ii) equal to its Capital Contributions, pro rata to each holder of Class A Interests and Vested Class B Interests based on its Percentage Interest of Class A Interests and Vested Class B Interests, treated as a single class.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Management Limited Partners shall be entitled to receive priority catch up payments in respect of Class B Interests that have become Vested Class B Interests and which did not participate in earlier distributions. Accordingly, at the time of any distribution, a Catch Up Payment (as defined below) shall be paid to each of the Management Limited Partners holding Newly Classified Vested Interests (as defined below) as a priority distribution before payment of any amounts are distributed to the other Limited Partners pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(iii); provided that once the applicable Catch Up Payment is paid in full to an individual in respect of the applicable Newly Classified Vested Interests such individual shall no longer have a right to receive any Catch Up Payment under this Agreement in respect of the applicable Newly Classified Vested Interests. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Catch Up Payment” means, with respect to the individuals holding Newly Classified Vested Interests, the aggregate incremental amount (in excess of actual receipts) that such Management Limited Partner would have received pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(iii) pursuant to any and all prior distributions to the Management Limited Partners if such Management Limited Partner’s Newly Classified Vested Interests had been considered Vested Class B Interests at the time of any such distribution and (ii) “Newly Classified Vested Interests” shall mean Class B Interests (a) which became Vested Class B Interests since the time of any prior distribution and (b) for which the applicable Catch Up Payment has not yet been made.

(c) All distributions made under this Section 7.1 shall be made to the Partners of record on the record date established by the General Partner or, in the absence of any such record date, to the Partners owning the applicable Interests on the date of the distribution.

(d) Holders of Unvested Class B Interests shall not receive any distributions under this Section 7.1.

Section 7.2 Tax Distributions. If the General Partner reasonably determines that the taxable income of the Partnership for a taxable year will give rise to taxable income for the Partners (after giving effect to any net cumulative taxable losses from prior taxable years

(“Net Taxable Income”)), the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute, from cash available for distribution (if any) amounts for purposes of allowing the Partners to fund their respective (actual or assumed) income tax liabilities (the “Tax Distributions”). The Tax Distributions with respect to any taxable year shall be computed based upon the General Partner’s estimate of the Net Taxable Income, multiplied by the Applicable Tax Percentage (the “Tax Amount”) and shall be paid only to the extent previous distributions pursuant to Section 7.1 with respect to such taxable year are insufficient to cover the Tax Amount for such taxable year. Tax Distributions shall be distributed to the Partners on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective participations in such Net Taxable Income, and shall be treated in all respects as advances of subsequent distributions pursuant to Section 7.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.2, holders of Unvested Class B Interests shall not receive any Tax Distributions with respect to Unvested Class B Interests.

Section 7.3 Section 83(b) Election. Within 30 days after acquiring any Interests (other than Class A Interests), each Management Limited Partner shall make an election with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) under Section 83(b) of the Code (or any similar provision under other tax Laws applicable to the Management Limited Partner) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (an “83(b) Election”) in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto. Each Management Limited Partner shall submit such 83(b) Election to the IRS within 30 calendar days after acquiring the Interests and shall promptly send a copy to the Partnership.

Section 7.4 Payments. Unless otherwise approved by the General Partner, all Capital Contributions and other amounts transferred to the Partnership by a Limited Partner and all distributions made to each Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid from and to, as applicable, a bank account in the name of the Limited Partner held with a United States bank, or a banking institution organized within a jurisdiction, territory or region approved by the Financial Action Task Force and a Schedule 3 jurisdiction under the Cayman Islands Money Laundering Regulations (2006 Revision).

ARTICLE VIII

ALLOCATIONS

Section 8.1 Allocations of Profits and Losses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Profits and Losses and to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain or loss or deduction of the Partnership shall be allocated in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Partner after giving effect to the Special Allocations set forth in Section 8.2 is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to (i) the distributions that would be made pursuant to Section 7.1 if the Partnership were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Book Value, all Partnership liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each non-recourse liability to the Book Value of the assets securing such liability) and the net assets of the Partnership were distributed in accordance with Section 7.1 to the Partners immediately after making such allocation, minus (ii) such Partner’s share of Partner Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets.

Section 8.2 Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article VIII:

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain or Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined in accordance with the principles of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(d) and 1.704-2(i)) during any Partnership taxable year, the Partners shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to their respective shares of such net decrease during such year, determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 8.2(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in such Treasury Regulations Sections and shall be interpreted consistently therewith; including that no chargeback shall be required to the extent of the exceptions provided in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4).

(b) Qualified Income Offset. If any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the deficit balance in such Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account Balance created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as promptly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 8.2(b) shall be made only to the extent that a Partner would have a deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article VIII have been tentatively made as if this Section 8.2(b) were not in this Agreement. This Section 8.2(b) is intended to comply with the “qualified income offset” requirement of the Code and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Gross Income Allocation. If any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any taxable year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Partner is obligated to restore, if any, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 8.2(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that a Partner would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article VIII have been tentatively made as if Section 8.2(b) and this Section 8.2(c) were not in this Agreement.

(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Partners ratably in accordance with such Partners’ Interests.

(e) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect

to the liability to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(j).

(f) Creditable Foreign Taxes. Creditable Foreign Taxes for any taxable period attributable to the Partnership, or an entity owned directly or indirectly by the Partnership, shall be allocated to the Partners in proportion to the partners’ distributive shares of income (including income allocated pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code) to which the Creditable Foreign Tax relates (under principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.904-6). The provisions of this Section 8.2(f) are intended to comply with the provisions of Temporary Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1T(b)(4)(xi), and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(g) Ameliorative Allocations. Any special allocations of income or gain pursuant to Sections 8.2(b) or 8.2(c) hereof shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations pursuant to Section 8.1 and this Section 8.2(g), so that the net amount of any items so allocated and all other items allocated to each Partner shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Partner if such allocations pursuant to Sections 8.2(b) or 8.2(c) had not occurred.

(h) Special Allocations to Holders of Unvested Class B Interests. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.2, Profits and Losses and to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Partnership shall be specially allocated to holders of Unvested Class B Interests that do not hold any Vested Class B Interest to the same extent such items would have been allocated to such holders if Section 7.1(a)(ii) was amended to replace “Vested Class B Interests” with “Class B Interests” whenever it appears therein and each holder of Unvested Class B Interests had a Percentage Interest equal to the product of (i) 10% and (ii) such holder’s Percentage Interest.

Section 8.3 Income Tax Allocations. For income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as the corresponding items of Profits and Losses and specially allocated items are allocated for Capital Account purposes; provided, that in the case of any asset the Book Value of which differs from its adjusted tax basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall be allocated solely for income tax purposes in accordance with the principles of Sections 704(b) and (c) of the Code (in any manner determined by the General Partner) so as to take account of the difference between Book Value and adjusted basis of such asset; provided further that (i) in the case of any disposition of assets by the Partnership in exchange for cash, the General Partner shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to structure such disposition so that the amount of income or gain allocated to the Contributing Partners in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code shall be no more than the amount of income or gain that would have been allocated to such Contributing Partners in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code if the fair market value of Contributed Shares disposed of by the Partnership with respect to any Contributing Partner was equal to the product of (A) the fair market value of all assets held by the Partnership immediately prior to such disposition and (B) the percent of sale proceeds that would be

distributed to such Contributing Partner under Section 7.1 upon a distribution of all the sale proceeds immediately following such disposition and (ii) in the case of any other disposition of assets by the Partnership, the General Partner shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to structure such disposition so that no income or gain shall be allocated to the Contributing Partners in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, if the Partnership would be required by the underwriters in an initial public offering of its subsidiary to contribute the Contributed Shares to such subsidiary in a transaction that would result in allocation of income or gain to Contributing Partners in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code, “commercially reasonable efforts” shall include the Partnership asking the underwriters to permit a secondary public offering of such subsidiary’s shares in an amount which shall provide enough funds to the Contributing Partners to finance their tax liability as a result of such allocation of income or gain.

ARTICLE IX

In no event shall any Person dealing with the General Partner or the General Partner’s representative with respect to any business or property of the Partnership be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with, or be obligated to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the General Partner or the General Partner’s representative; and every Contract or other document executed by the General Partner or the General Partner’s representative with respect to any business or property of the Partnership shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (a) at the time of the execution and/or delivery thereof this Agreement was in full force and effect, (b) such instrument or document was duly executed in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Partnership and (c) the General Partner or the General Partner’s representative was duly authorized and empowered to execute and deliver any and every such instrument or document for and on behalf of the Partnership.

(a) No Partner shall take, or cause to be taken, any action that would result in any other Partner having any personal liability for the obligations of the Partnership.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Partner or any Affiliate of any Partner or their respective members, officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders or partners nor any Person who serves at the specific request of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership as a partner, member, officer, director, employee or agent of any other entity (each, an “Indemnitee”) will be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for any act performed or omission made by such Person in connection with this Agreement or the matters contemplated herein, unless such act or omission resulted from Gross Negligence, fraud, a willful breach of this Agreement or a willful illegal act. To the extent that an Indemnitee has, at law or in equity, duties and liabilities relating to the Partnership, any Limited Partner or any other Person bound by the terms of this Agreement, such Indemnitee, acting in accordance with this Agreement shall not, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, be liable to the Partnership or to any such Limited Partner or other Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. To the extent that, at law or in equity, the General Partner has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or to another Partner, the General Partner acting under the Agreement shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any such other Partner for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. To the extent permitted by Law, the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they expand or restrict the duties and liabilities of the General Partner otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to be modified to the extent of such other duties and liabilities of the General Partner.

(c) To the maximum extent permitted under applicable Law, whenever an Indemnitee is permitted or required to make a decision or take an action or omit to do any of the foregoing: (i) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or under a similar grant of authority or latitude or without an express standard of behavior (including, without limitation, standards such as “reasonable” or “good faith”), such Indemnitee shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors, including its own, as it desires, and shall have no duty or obligation to consider any other interests or factors whatsoever, or (ii) with an express standard of behavior (including, without limitation, standards such as “reasonable” or “good faith”), then the Indemnitee shall comply with such express standard but, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, shall not be subject to any other or additional standard imposed by this Agreement or applicable law.

(d) Each Indemnitee may consult with legal counsel, financial advisors and accountants selected by it and any act or omission suffered or taken by it on behalf of the Partnership or in furtherance of the interests of the Partnership in good faith in reliance upon and in accordance with the advice of such counsel, financial advisors or accountants will be full justification for any such act or omission, and each such Indemnitee will be fully protected in so acting or omitting to act, provided that such counsel, financial advisors or accountants were selected with reasonable care.

(e) The Partnership shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee (and their respective heirs and legal and personal representatives) who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened,

pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including any action by or in the right of the Partnership), by reason of any actions or omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of such Person’s activities either on behalf of the Partnership or in furtherance of the interests of the Partnership or arising out of or in connection with the Partnership, against all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromises and settlements, as fines and penalties and legal or other costs and reasonable expenses of investigating or defending against any claim or alleged claim) of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, that are incurred by any Indemnitee and arise out of or in connection with such action, suit or proceeding; provided, further, that such indemnification shall be out of Partnership assets only, and that no Limited Partner shall be required to return any previously received distribution to fund such indemnification in any circumstances; provided, that such Person was not guilty of Gross Negligence, fraud, a willful breach of this Agreement or a willful illegal act; provided further, that any Person entitled to indemnification from the Partnership hereunder shall first seek recovery under any other indemnity or any insurance policies by which such Person is indemnified or covered, as the case may be, but only to the extent that the indemnitor with respect to such indemnity or the insurer with respect to such insurance policy provides (or acknowledges its obligation to provide) such indemnity or coverage on a timely basis, as the case may be, and, if such Person is other than the General Partner, such Person shall obtain the written consent of the General Partner prior to entering into any compromise or settlement which would result in an obligation of the Partnership to indemnify such Person. The General Partner shall have the Partnership purchase, at the Partnership’s expense, insurance to insure the Partnership and the Partners against liability in connection with the activities of the Partnership.

(f) The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 9.4 shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership the expenses incurred by a Person of the type entitled to be indemnified under Section 9.4(c) who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding and without any determination as to the Person’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification. Such expenses shall, at the request of the Person entitled to be indemnified under Section 9.4(c), be advanced by the Partnership on behalf of such Person in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding so long as such Person shall have provided the Partnership with a written undertaking, by or on behalf of such Person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 9.4 or otherwise.

(g) The right of any Indemnitee to the indemnification provided herein is cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity, and extend to such Indemnitee’s successors, assigns and legal representatives.

any Limited Partner (or any person that controls such member, partner or shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”)), (b) any Affiliate of any Limited Partner or (c) any incorporators, officers, directors, partners, members or employees of any Limited Partner shall be had and no judgment relating to the obligations of any Limited Partner under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents (except to the extent any such Person expressly is individually liable thereunder) or for any payment obligations under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents (except to the extent any such Person expressly is individually liable thereunder), or any part thereof, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof or related thereto, shall be obtainable by the Partnership or any Partner against any direct or indirect member, partner, shareholder, incorporator, employee or Affiliate, past, present or future, of any Limited Partner.

The transaction of any business by a General Partner or any director, manager, partner, officer, employee or agent of a General Partner in its capacity as such shall not affect, impair or eliminate the limitations on the liability of any Limited Partner under this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI

TAXES

Section 11.1 Tax Matters Partner. The General Partner shall be the initial “tax matters partner” within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (the “Tax Matters Partner”). The Tax Matters Partner shall determine in its reasonable discretion the appropriate treatment of each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Partnership and the accounting methods and conventions under the tax laws of the United States, the several states and other relevant jurisdictions as to the treatment of any such item or any other method or procedure related to the preparation of such tax returns. The Tax Matters Partner shall have all of the rights, duties, powers and obligations provided for in Sections 6221 through 6232 of the Code. The Partnership intends to file as a partnership for U.S. federal,

state and local income tax purposes, except where otherwise required by Law. All elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership, and all other tax decisions and determinations relating to U.S. federal, state or local tax matters of the Partnership, shall be made by the Tax Matters Partner, in consultation with the Partnership’s attorneys and/or accountants. As appropriate, the Tax Matters Partner shall prepare a schedule allocating basis to all the assets of the Partnership under Code Sections 755 and 1060. Tax audits, controversies and litigations shall be conducted under the direction of the Tax Matters Partner. As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each taxable year but not later than 75 days after the end of each taxable year, the Partnership shall send to each Partner a copy of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Schedule K-1, and any comparable statements required by applicable state or local income tax Law, with respect to such taxable year. The Partnership also shall provide the Partners with such other information as may be reasonably requested for purposes of allowing the Partners to prepare and file their own tax returns. The Partnership shall bear the cost of the preparation and filing of its tax returns with respect to the Partnership and its Subsidiaries, but shall not bear any additional costs related primarily to any specific Partner. The Tax Matters Partner shall inform each other Partner of all significant matters that may come to its attention in its capacity as Tax Matters Partner by giving notice thereof as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware thereof and, within that time, shall forward to each other Partner copies of all significant written communications it may receive in that capacity.

Section 11.2 Information Rights. The Partnership agrees to provide to the Class A Limited Partners such information as the Class A Limited Partners reasonably request from time to time in order to (i) permit the Class A Limited Partners to comply with any applicable information reporting obligations resulting from the Class A Limited Partners’ investment in the Partnership and (ii) determine whether any majority-owned Subsidiary of the Partnership (based on vote or value) is or has been, or the consequences to the applicable Class A Limited Partners, as the case may be, if any Subsidiary of the Partnership becomes, a “passive foreign investment company,” a “controlled foreign corporation,” a corporation whose income is required to be taken into account by the Class A Limited Partners, and, at the request of the Class A Limited Partners, cooperate with the Class A Limited Partners in making, or permitting the applicable Class A Limited Partners to make, any election permitted under the Code that does not have a material adverse tax effect to the other Partners. The Partnership shall also use reasonable commercial efforts to provide such information as the Class A Limited Partners reasonably request for the foregoing purposes with respect to minority-owned Subsidiaries of the Partnership.

Section 11.3 Tax Withholding. To the extent the Partnership is required by law to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Partner (“Tax Advances”), the Partnership may withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as so required. All Tax Advances made on behalf of a Partner shall be repaid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Partner or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Partner. If a distribution to a Partner is actually reduced as a result of a Tax Advance, for all other purposes of this Agreement such Partner shall be treated as having received the amount of the distribution that is reduced by the Tax Advance. Each Partner hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership and the other Partners from and against any liability (including, without limitation, any liability for taxes, penalties, additions to tax or interest) with respect to income attributable to or distributions or other payments to such Partner.

Section 11.4 Investment Limitations.

(b) The Partnership shall use its reasonable best efforts to conduct its investment activities in a manner such that those activities will not cause the Partnership to (i) be engaged in a trade or business within the United States for purposes of Sections 871, 872(a)(2), 875, 881, 882, 884(d)(1) or 1446 of the Code, (ii) be engaged in a commercial activity for purposes of Section 892 of the Code, or (iii) invest in U.S. real property interest within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code.

Management Interests shall be held subject to the terms and conditions of the Investors Agreement and any applicable Management Equity Award Agreement which will include vesting conditions applicable to such Interests.

Section 12.2 Voting; Power of Attorney.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Partnership Act, only the holders of Class A Interests will be entitled to vote on any matters requiring a vote, consent or other action of the Limited Partners. Any action shall be authorized if the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Class A Interests present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be obtained. Prior to the Lapse Date, to the extent any class of Interests is required or eligible to vote with respect to any matter (including Class A Interests or any other class), each Management Limited Partner shall vote all of its eligible Management Interests in any manner directed by the General Partner.

(b) Each Management Limited Partner hereby constitutes and appoints the General Partner (and any member of the board of directors of the General Partner acting at the direction of a valid majority of such board), with full power of substitution, as such Person’s true and lawful agent and attorney in fact, with full power and authority in such Person’s name, place and stead, (i) to, prior to the Lapse Date, vote for or against in respect of any matter pursuant to which such Management Limited Partner is eligible to vote its Interests and (ii) to execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file and record in the appropriate public offices (A) this Agreement, all certificates and other instruments and all amendments thereof in accordance with the terms hereof which the General Partner or such member deems appropriate or necessary to form, qualify, or continue the qualification of, the Partnership as a limited partnership in the Cayman Islands and in all other jurisdictions in which the Partnership may conduct business or own property; (B) all instruments which the General Partner or such member deems appropriate or necessary to reflect any amendment, change, modification or restatement of this Agreement in accordance with its terms; (C) all conveyances and other instruments or documents which the General Partner or such member deems appropriate or necessary to reflect the dissolution of the pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including a certificate of cancellation; and (D) all instruments relating to the admission, withdrawal or substitution of any Partner pursuant to the terms hereof. The foregoing power of attorney is irrevocably given by way of securing such Management Limited Partner’s obligations hereunder, and shall survive and not be affected by the death, disability, incapacity, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency or termination of any Management Limited Partner and the Transfer of all or any portion of such Management Limited Partner’s Interests and shall extend to such Management Limited Partner’s heirs, successors, assigns and personal representatives.

ARTICLE XIII

BOOKS AND BANK ACCOUNTS

Section 13.1 Maintenance of Books. The General Partner shall keep or cause to be kept at the Partnership’s principal place of business complete and accurate books and records of the Partnership and supporting documentation of the transactions with respect to the conduct of the Partnership’s business. The records shall include, but not be limited to, complete and accurate information regarding the state of the business and financial condition of the Partnership; a copy of this Agreement and all amendments thereto; the current list of the names and last known business, residence, or mailing addresses of all Partners; and the Partnership’s U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns for the Partnership’s six most recent tax years.

Section 13.2 Accounts. The General Partner shall maintain a register of the Partners’ interests in the Partnership at the registered office of the Partnership, setting forth the name and address of each Partner, the amount and date of each Capital Contribution by a Partner and the amount and date of any payment representing a return of any part of the contribution of any Partner and shall maintain a register of mortgages created by the Limited Partners over their interest in the Partnership at the registered office of the Partnership in accordance with Section 7(7)(b) of the Partnership Act.

ARTICLE XIV

DISSOLUTION, WINDING-UP AND TERMINATION

Section 14.1 Dissolution of the Partnership.

(a) The Partnership shall be dissolved, and its affairs shall be wound up and a Section 15 (1) Notice of Dissolution shall be filed with the Registrar pursuant to the Partnership Act upon the first to occur of the following (each a “Dissolution Event”): (i) the General Partner determines to dissolve the Partnership, (ii) at any time when there are no Limited Partners or (iii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership under the Partnership Act. The dissolution, resignation, expulsion or bankruptcy of any Limited Partner or, save as provided below, the General Partner, shall not cause the dissolution of the Partnership.

(b) The removal, withdrawal, bankruptcy, insolvency, termination or dissolution of the last remaining General Partner of the Partnership being either an individual resident in the Cayman Islands or a company registered under the Companies Law (as revised) of the Cayman Islands or registered pursuant to Part IX of the Companies Law (as revised) of the Cayman Islands or a partnership registered pursuant to section 9(1) of the Partnership Act shall dissolve the partnership unless the Limited Partners unanimously agree to continue the Partnership and appoint a new General Partner who is either an individual resident in the Cayman Islands or a company registered under the Companies Law (as revised) of the Cayman Islands or registered pursuant to Part IX of the Companies Law (as revised) of the Cayman Islands or a partnership registered pursuant to section 9(1) of the Partnership Act within 90 days thereof.

Section 14.2 Winding-up and Termination. On the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, the General Partner (or, if there is no General Partner, the Limited Partners holding a majority of the outstanding Class A Interests, taken together as a single class) shall select one or more Persons to act as liquidator or may itself act as liquidator. The liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Partnership and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Partnership Act. The costs of winding up shall be borne as a Partnership expense, including reasonable compensation to the liquidator. Until final distribution, the liquidator shall continue to operate the Partnership properties with all of the power and authority of the General Partner. Subject to the terms in the Partnership Act, the steps to be accomplished by the liquidator are as follows:

(a) as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final winding up, the liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Partnership’s assets, liabilities, and operations;

(b) the liquidator shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Partnership funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership or otherwise make adequate provision for

payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine); and

(c) all remaining assets of the Partnership shall be distributed to the Partners as follows; provided, however, that the liquidator shall use reasonable best efforts to distribute cash to Partners:

(i) the liquidator may sell any or all Partnership property, including to Partners, and any resulting gain or loss from each sale shall be computed and allocated to the Capital Accounts of Partners in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII;

(ii) with respect to all Partnership property that has not been sold, the fair market value of that property shall be determined and the Capital Accounts of Partners shall be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss, and deduction inherent in property that has not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously would be allocated among Partners if there were a taxable disposition of that property for the fair market value of that property on the date of distribution; and

(iii) Partnership property shall be distributed among the Partners in accordance with Section 7.1, and those distributions shall be made by the end of the taxable year of the Partnership during which the liquidation of the Partnership occurs (or, if later, 90 days after the date of the liquidation).

All distributions in kind to Partners shall be made subject to the liability of each distributee for costs, expenses, and liabilities theretofore incurred or for which the Partnership has committed prior to the date of termination and those costs, expenses, and liabilities shall be allocated to the distributee pursuant to this Section 14.2. The distribution of cash and/or property to a Partner in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.2 constitutes a complete return to the Partner of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Partner with respect to its Interests of all the Partnership’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Partners have consented. To the extent that a Partner returns funds to the Partnership, it has no claim against any other Partner for those funds.

Section 14.3 Deficit Capital Accounts. No Partner shall be required to pay to the Partnership, to any other Partner or to any third party any deficit balance which may exist from time to time in the Partner’s Capital Account.

Section 14.4 Dissolution. On completion of the distribution of Partnership assets as provided herein, the General Partner or the liquidators (or such other Person or Persons as the Partnership Act may require or permit) shall file such documents and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the existence of the Partnership. Upon satisfaction of

all applicable matters required under the Partnership Act, the existence of the Partnership shall cease, except as may be otherwise provided by the Partnership Act or other applicable Law.

ARTICLE XV

WITHDRAWAL OF PARTNERS

Section 15.1 Withdrawal of General Partner. The General Partner covenants and agrees that it will not withdraw as the General Partner of the Partnership for the term of the Partnership except as permitted under this Agreement.

Section 15.2 Withdrawal of Limited Partners. No Limited Partner shall have any right to withdraw from the Partnership except as permitted under this Agreement. No Limited Partner shall be entitled to receive any distribution from the Partnership for any reason or upon any event except as expressly set forth in Articles V, VII and XIV.

ARTICLE XVI

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 16.1 Offset. Whenever the Partnership is to pay any sum to any Partner, any amounts that such Partner, in its capacity as a Partner, owes the Partnership may be deducted from that sum before payment.

Section 16.2 Notices. Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, all notices, requests or consents provided for or required to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be duly given if personally delivered, telecopied and confirmed, or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, or nationally recognized overnight delivery service with proof of receipt maintained, at the following addresses (or any other address that any such party may designate by written notice to the other parties):

(i) if to the Partnership or the General Partner, at the address of the General Partner’s principal executive offices; and

(ii) if to a Partner (other than a Management Limited Partner), to the address given for the Partner on Schedule A hereto;

(iii) if to a Management Limited Partner, to the address given for the Partner on the applicable Management Equity Award Agreement (or such other address on the payroll records of the Partnership or its Subsidiaries); and

(iv) if to a holder of Interests that has not been admitted as a Partner, to the address given for such holder in an Addendum Agreement.

Any such notice shall, if delivered personally, be deemed received upon delivery; shall, if delivered by telecopy, be deemed received on the first business day following confirmation; shall, if delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service, be deemed received the first business day after being sent; and shall, if delivered by mail, be deemed received upon the earlier of actual receipt thereof or five business days after the date of deposit in the United States mail.

(b) Whenever any notice is required to be given by Law, this Agreement, a written waiver thereof, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

Section 16.3 Entire Agreement; Supersede. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement of the Partners and their Affiliates relating to the Partnership and supersede all prior contracts or agreements with respect to the Partnership, whether oral or written.

Section 16.4 Effect of Waiver or Consent. A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations with respect to the Partnership is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person with respect to the Partnership. Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default with respect to the Partnership, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.

Section 16.5 Amendment or Restatement. This Agreement (including any Exhibit or Schedule hereto) may not be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, nor may any provisions of this Agreement be waived, without a written instrument adopted, executed and agreed to by the General Partner; provided, however, that any such amendment, modification, supplement, restatement or waiver that would disproportionately and adversely affect the rights or materially increase the obligations of any Partner hereunder, in its capacity as a Partner, as the case may be, including any changes to the economic interests or the tax consequences with respect to such Partner, either without similarly affecting the rights or obligations hereunder of all Partners of the same class, in their capacities as Partners, as the case may be, or by diluting in any way the economic interests in the Partnership of the Limited Partners, in their capacity as Limited Partners, by reason of the General Partner Interest becoming an economic interest in the Partnership, shall not be effective as to such Partner without such Partner’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 16.5, if the provisions of Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3 and related sections and the proposed Revenue Procedure described in IRS Notice 2005-43, as proposed by the Internal Revenue Service on May 24, 2005, or provisions similar thereto, are adopted as final (or temporary) rules (the “New Rules”), the General Partner is authorized, upon receipt of a written request of the majority of the Class B Limited Partners, to make such amendments to this Agreement (including provision for any safe harbor election authorized by the New Rules) as the General Partner may determine to be necessary or advisable to comply with or reflect the New Rules. Except as required by Law, no amendment, modification, supplement, discharge or waiver of or under this Agreement shall require the consent of any person not a party to this Agreement and any such amendment, modification, supplement, restatement or waiver that would increase the amount of capital a

Partner is required to contribute to the Partnership shall not be effective as to such Partner without such Partner’s prior written consent.

Section 16.6 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation of a Change of Control transaction and the distribution of the proceeds therefrom, (ii) the consummation of a Dissolution Event, (iii) upon the written agreement of the Partners, and (iv) the consummation of a firm commitment underwritten public offering by the IPO Corporation of common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

Section 16.7 Binding Effect. Subject to the restrictions on Transfers set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Partnership and each Partner and their respective heirs, permitted successors, permitted assigns, permitted distributees and legal representatives; and by their signatures hereto, the Partnership and each Partner intends to and does hereby become bound. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under, in or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained.

Section 16.8 Governing Law; Severability; Limitation of Liability.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Cayman Islands law.

(b) In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any mandatory, non-waivable provision of the Partnership Act, such provision of the Partnership Act shall control. If any provision of the Partnership Act provides that it may be varied or superseded in the limited partnership agreement (or otherwise by agreement of the partners of a limited partnership), such provision shall be deemed superseded and waived in its entirety if this Agreement contains a provision addressing the same issue or subject matter.

(c) If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement; and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of each such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

(d) Neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall be liable to any of the other such Persons for punitive, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including damages for loss of profits, loss of use or revenue or losses by reason of cost of capital, arising out of or

relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, violation of any applicable deceptive trade practices act or similar Law or any other legal or equitable principle, and the Partnership and each Partner releases each of the other such Persons from liability for any such damages.

Section 16.9 Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, the Partnership and each Partner shall execute and deliver all such future instruments and take such other and further action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the intention of the parties as expressed herein.

Section 16.10 Indemnification. The Partnership shall at all times maintain or cause to be maintained directors and officers’ liability insurance and indemnification policy covering the Partnership and its Subsidiaries and the General Partner which, in the good faith business judgment of the General Partner, is reasonable (x) for a company comparable in size to the Partnership and its Subsidiaries and (y) for substantially similar companies in the industry in which the Partnership and its Subsidiaries operate.

Section 16.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including facsimile counterparts), all of which together shall constitute a single instrument. It shall not be necessary that any counterpart be signed by each of the Partners so long as each counterpart shall be signed by one or more of the Partners and so long as the other Partners shall sign at least one counterpart which shall be delivered to the Partnership.

Section 16.12 Other Covenants.

(a) Each Partner acknowledges and agrees that, upon any Dissolution Event or any Change of Control of the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement, the receipt of proceeds by the Partners with respect to their Interests shall be in accordance with Article VII.

(b) Each Partner entitled to vote on matters submitted to a vote of the Partners, as the case may be, agrees to vote the Interests owned by such Partner upon all matters arising under this Agreement submitted to a vote of the Partners, as the case may be, in a manner that will implement the terms of this Agreement.

Section 16.13 Registration Rights. The Partnership shall cause the IPO Corporation to grant registration rights to each Partner as described in the Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with respect to securities of the IPO Corporation into which the securities of the Partnership were converted, exchanged for, distributed or otherwise changed in the Conversion.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as a Deed effective the day and year first above written.
