In the case of any asset that has a Carrying Value that differs from its adjusted tax basis, Carrying Value shall be adjusted by the amount of depreciation calculated for purposes of the definition of “Profits” and “Losses” rather than the amount of depreciation determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and depreciation shall be calculated by reference to Carrying Value rather than tax basis once Carrying Value differs from tax basis.

ARTICLE IV

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 4.01. Distributions

(a) The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may authorize distributions by the Partnership to the Partners, which distributions shall (subject to Section 9.03) be made pro rata in accordance with the Partners’ respective Total Percentage Interests.

(b) (i) In addition to the foregoing, if the General Partner reasonably determines that the taxable income of the Partnership for a Fiscal Year will give rise to taxable income for the Partners (“Net Taxable Income”), the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute Available Cash in respect of income tax liabilities (the “Tax Distributions”) to the extent that other distributions made by the Partnership for such year were otherwise less than the Tax Amount. The aggregate Tax Distributions payable with respect to any Fiscal Year shall be

computed based upon the General Partner’s estimate of the allocable Net Taxable Income in accordance with Article V, multiplied by the Assumed Tax Rate (the “Tax Amount”) and shall be made to Partners pro rata in accordance with the number of Units held by the Partners. For purposes of computing the Tax Amount, the Net Taxable Income shall be determined without regard to any special adjustments of tax items required as a result of any election under Section 754 of the Code, including adjustments required by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code.

(ii) Tax Distributions shall be calculated and paid no later than one day prior to each quarterly due date for the payment by corporations on a calendar year of estimated taxes under the Code in the following manner (A) for the first quarterly period, 25% of the Tax Amount, (B) for the second quarterly period, 50% of the Tax Amount, less the prior Tax Distributions for the Fiscal Year, (C) for the third quarterly period, 75% of the Tax Amount, less the prior Tax Distributions for the Fiscal Year and (D) for the fourth quarterly period, 100% of the Tax Amount, less the prior Tax Distributions for the Fiscal Year. Following each Fiscal Year, and no later than one day prior to the due date for the payment by corporations of income taxes for such Fiscal Year, the General Partner shall make an amended calculation of the Tax Amount for such Fiscal Year (the “Amended Tax Amount”), and shall cause the Partnership to distribute a Tax Distribution, out of Available Cash, to the extent that the Amended Tax Amount so calculated exceeds the cumulative Tax Distributions previously made by the Partnership in respect of such Fiscal Year. If the Amended Tax Amount is less than the cumulative Tax Distributions previously made by the Partnership in respect of the relevant Fiscal Year, then the difference (the “Credit Amount”) shall be applied against, and shall reduce, the amount of Tax Distributions made for subsequent Fiscal Years. Within 30 days following the date on which the Partnership files a tax return on Form 1065, the General Partner shall make a final calculation of the Tax Amount of such Fiscal Year (the “Final Tax Amount”) and shall cause the Partnership to distribute a Tax Distribution, out of Available Cash, to the extent that the Final Tax Amount so calculated exceeds the Amended Tax Amount. If the Final Tax Amount is less than the Amended Tax Amount in respect of the relevant Fiscal Year, then the difference (“Additional Credit Amount”) shall be applied against, and shall reduce, the amount of Tax Distributions made for subsequent Fiscal Years. Any Credit Amount and Additional Credit Amount applied against future Tax Distributions shall be treated as an amount actually distributed pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) for purposes of the computations herein.

Section 4.02. Liquidation Distribution. Distributions made upon dissolution of the Partnership shall be made as provided in Section 9.03.

Section 4.03. Limitations on Distribution. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the General Partner shall not make a distribution to any Partner if such distribution would violate Section 17-607 of the Act or other applicable Law.

ARTICLE V

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS;

TAX ALLOCATIONS; TAX MATTERS

Section 5.01. No Additional Capital Contributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Article V, no Partner shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to the

Partnership without the consent of such Partner or permitted to make additional capital contributions to the Partnership without the consent of the General Partner, which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion.

Section 5.02. Capital Accounts. A separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) shall be established and maintained for each Partner in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). The Capital Account of each Partner shall be credited with such Partner’s Capital Contributions, if any, all Profits allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.03 and any items of income or gain which are specially allocated pursuant to Section 5.04; and shall be debited with all Losses allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.03, any items of loss or deduction of the Partnership specially allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.04, and all cash and the Carrying Value of any property (net of liabilities assumed by such Partner and the liabilities to which such property is subject) distributed by the Partnership to such Partner. Any references in any section of this Agreement to the Capital Account of a Partner shall be deemed to refer to such Capital Account as the same may be credited or debited from time to time as set forth above. In the event of any transfer of any interest in the Partnership in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred interest.

Section 5.03. Allocations of Profits and Losses.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Operating Profits and Liquidating Gains of the Partnership shall be allocated as follows:

(i) First, Operating Profits and Liquidating Gains shall be allocated to the General Partner to the extent the cumulative Operating Losses and Liquidating Losses allocated to the General Partner under Section 5.03(b)(iii) below exceeds the cumulative Operating Profits and Liquidating Gains allocated to the General Partner under this Section 5.03(a)(i), provided that the allocation under this Section shall first be made out of Operating Profits to the extent of available Operating Profits as of the time any allocation is being made, and thereafter to the extent of any available Liquidating Gains as of such time;

(ii)

(A)

Next, Liquidating Gains shall first be allocated to the Partners holding LTIP Units until the Economic Capital Account Balances of such Partners, to the extent attributable to their ownership of LTIP Units, are equal to (1) the Class A Unit Economic Balance, multiplied by (2) the number of their LTIP Units (with respect to each Partner holding LTIP Units, the “Target Balance”). For the avoidance of doubt, Liquidating Gains allocated with respect to an LTIP Unit pursuant to this subparagraph (A) shall reduce (but not below zero) the Book-Up Target for such LTIP Unit. Any such allocations shall be made (i) first, among the holders of LTIP Founder Units in proportion to the aggregate amounts required to be allocated to each under this subparagraph and

(ii) second, among the holders of LTIP Units that are not Founder LTIP Units in proportion to the aggregate amounts required to be allocated to each under this subparagraph, unless the relevant Award Agreement or other documentation pursuant to which an LTIP Unit is granted provides for a reduced allocation with respect to such LTIP Unit.

(B)

Liquidating Gains allocated to a Partner under this Section 5.03(a)(ii) will be attributed to specific LTIP Units of such Partner for purposes of determining (1) allocations under this Article V, (2) the effect of the forfeiture or conversion of specific LTIP Units on such Partner’s Capital Account and (3) the ability of such Partner to convert specific LTIP Units into Class A Units. Such Liquidating Gains will generally be attributed in the following order: (1) first, to Vested LTIP Units held for more than two years, (2) second, to Vested LTIP Units held for two years or less, (3) third, to Unvested LTIP Units that have remaining vesting conditions that only require continued employment or service to the Partnership, the General Partner or their Affiliates for a certain period of time (with such Liquidating Gains being attributed in order of vesting from soonest vesting to latest vesting), and (4) fourth, to other Unvested LTIP Units (with such Liquidating Gains being attributed in order of issuance from earliest issued to latest issued). Within each category, Liquidating Gains will be allocated seriatim (i.e., entirely to the first unit in a set, then entirely to the next unit in the set, and so on, until a full allocation is made to the last unit in the set) in the order of smallest Book-Up Target to largest Book-Up Target.

(C)

After giving effect to the special allocations set forth above, if, due to distributions with respect to Class A Units in which the LTIP Units do not participate, forfeitures or otherwise, the Economic Capital Account Balance of any Partner attributable to such Partner’s LTIP Units exceeds the Target Balance, then Liquidating Losses shall be allocated to such Partner to eliminate the disparity; provided, however, that if Liquidating Losses are insufficient to completely eliminate all such disparities, such losses shall be allocated among LTIP Units in a manner reasonably determined by the General Partner.

(D)

The parties agree that the intent of this Section 5.03(a)(ii) is (1) to the extent possible to make the liquidation value associated with each LTIP Unit the same as the liquidation value of a Class A Unit, and (2) to allow conversion of a LTIP Unit (assuming it is a Vested LTIP Unit) when sufficient Liquidating Gains have been allocated to such LTIP Unit

pursuant to this clause (ii) or Losses, Operating Losses and/or Liquidating Losses have been allocated to Class A Units under Section 5.03(b)(i) so that either an LTIP Unit’s initial Book-Up Target has been reduced to zero or the parity described in subclause (1) above has been achieved. The General Partner shall be permitted to interpret this Section and to amend this Agreement to the extent necessary and consistent with this intention.

(E)

If a Partner forfeits any LTIP Units to which Liquidating Gains has previously been allocated under Section 5.03(a)(ii)(A) above, (1) the portion of such Partner’s Capital Account attributable to such Liquidating Gains allocated to such forfeited LTIP Units will be re-allocated to that Partner’s remaining LTIP Units that were outstanding on the date of the initial allocation of such Liquidating Gain, using a methodology similar to that described in clause (B) above as reasonably determined by the General Partner, to the extent necessary to cause such Partner’s Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to each such LTIP Unit to equal the Class A Unit Economic Balance and (2) such Partner’s Capital Account will be reduced by the amount of any such Liquidating Gains not re-allocated pursuant to the foregoing subclause (1) above. Any such reductions in Capital Accounts pursuant to the foregoing subclause (2) shall be reallocated to the LTIP Units in accordance with the rules for allocations set forth in this Section 5.03(a)(ii), provided that the General Partner shall have the discretion to limit reallocations to LTIP Units in any manner the General Partner reasonably determines is necessary to prevent such LTIP Units from participating in Liquidating Gains realized prior to the issuance of such LTIP Units; and

(iii) Thereafter, Operating Profits to the holders of Class A Units and LTIP Units pro rata in proportion to the Class A Units and LTIP Units held by such Partners and any remaining Liquidating Gains after the special allocation provided in Section 5.03(a)(ii) to the holders of Class A Units and LTIP Units in proportion to the Class A Units and LTIP Units held by such Partners.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, Operating Losses and Liquidating Losses of the Partnership for each Fiscal Year or other applicable period shall be allocated as follows:

(i) First, Operating Losses shall be allocated with respect to each Class A Unit and LTIP Unit in proportion to and to the extent that Operating Profits were allocated with respect to such Unit in previous periods in excess of the sum of Operating Losses allocated with respect to such Unit in previous periods and distributions made with respect to such Unit in all periods;

(ii) Subject to the prior application of Section 5.03(a)(ii)(C), first, Operating Losses shall be allocated to the holders of Class A Units and LTIP Units in proportion to the Class A Units and LTIP Units held by such Partners, and Liquidating Losses shall be allocated to the holders of Class A Units and LTIP Units in proportion to the Class A Units and LTIP Units held by such Partners; provided that the Losses allocated in respect of a Class A Unit and LTIP Unit pursuant to this subparagraph (ii) shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that could be allocated in respect of such Unit without causing a holder of such Unit to have a deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance determined as if the holder held only that Unit, provided further that (A) in the event the first proviso of this subparagraph (ii) applies to limit an allocation of Losses in respect of an LTIP Unit, the Losses allocable to the LTIP Unit shall first be made out of Operating Loss to the extent the cumulative Operating Profits in excess of cumulative Operating Losses allocated to that LTIP Unit exceeds cumulative distributions in respect of that LTIP Unit, and any remaining allocation of Losses to that LTIP Unit shall be made proportionately out of Operating Losses and Liquidating Losses, and (B) in the event the first proviso of this subparagraph (ii) applies to limit an allocation of Losses in respect of a Class A Unit, the Losses allocable to the Class A Unit shall be made proportionately out of Operating Losses and Liquidating Losses remaining after the allocation of Losses in respect of LTIP Units as provided in clause (A) of this subparagraph (ii);

(iii) Thereafter, Operating Losses and Liquidating Losses shall be allocated to the General Partner.

Section 5.04. Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article V:

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Partnership 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 5.04(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 5.04(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 V have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.04(b) were not in this Agreement. This Section 5.04(b) is intended to comply with the “qualified income offset” requirement of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Special Allocation to LTIP Units. Items of gross income of the Partnership shall be specially allocated to a Partner in an amount necessary to eliminate any deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance attributable to an LTIP Unit of such Partner. Any such allocations shall be made first from items of income constituting Operating Profits or Operating Losses, and only thereafter from items of income constituting Liquidating Gains or Liquidating Losses. For purposes of determining the amount of gross income that must be specially allocated under this Section, the Partnership shall initially allocate all items amongst the Partners in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and only if a Partner has an deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance after such initial allocation shall a special allocation be made pursuant to this Section and only in an amount equal to the gross income allocation needed to eliminate such deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance taking into account the remaining Profits that will be allocated to such Partner after applying the other provisions of this Article V.

(d) Special Allocation upon LTIP Unit Forced Conversion. After an LTIP Unit Forced Conversion, the Partnership will specially allocate Liquidating Gains and Liquidating Losses to the Partners until and in a manner that causes, as promptly as practicable, the portion of such Partner’s Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to the Class A Unit (or fraction thereof) received upon such conversion to equal the Class A Unit Economic Balance (or in the case where a fractional Class A Unit is received on such conversion, the Class A Unit Economic Balance multiplied by a fraction equal to the fraction of the Class A Unit issued in such conversion).

(e) Gross Income Allocation. If any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal 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 5.04(e) 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 V have been tentatively made as if Section 5.04(b) and this Section 5.04(e) were not in this Agreement.

(f) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Total Percentage Interests.

(g) 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).

(h) Ameliorative Allocations. Any special allocations of income or gain pursuant to Sections 5.04(b) or 5.04(c) hereof shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations pursuant to Section 5.03 and this Section 5.04(h), 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 5.04(b) or 5.04(c) had not occurred.

(i) Section 751 Allocation. Any gain or loss from items described in Section 751(c) or (d) that were previously held by Blackstone Holdings I L.P. or Blackstone Holdings II L.P. will be allocated in a manner that is consistent with Blackstone Holdings I L.P.’s and Blackstone Holdings II L.P.’s partners’ shares of such gain or loss immediately before the distribution of the Partnership by Blackstone Holdings I L.P. or Blackstone Holdings II L.P. Any gain or loss from items described in Section 751(c) or (d) that were previously held by PJT Capital LP will be allocated in a manner that is consistent with PJT Capital LP’s partners’ shares of such gain or loss immediately before the acquisition of PJT Capital LP by the Partnership.

Section 5.05. 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 Carrying 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 and permitted by the Code and Treasury Regulations) so as to take account of the difference between Carrying Value and adjusted basis of such asset; provided further that the Partnership shall use the traditional method (as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b)) for all Section 704(c) allocations, limited to allocations of income or gain from the disposition of Partnership property where allocations of depreciation deductions have been limited by the ceiling rule throughout the term of the Partnership). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall make such allocations for tax purposes as it determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate to ensure allocations are made in accordance with a Partner’s interest in the Partnership.

Section 5.06. Tax Advances. To the extent the General Partner reasonably believes that the Partnership is required by law to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Partner or the Partnership is subjected to tax itself by reason of the status of any Partner (“Tax Advances”), the General Partner may cause the Partnership to withhold such amounts and cause the Partnership to 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. For all purposes of this Agreement such Partner shall be treated as having received the amount of the distribution that is equal to 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 other than any penalties, additions to tax or interest imposed as a result of the Partnership’s failure to withhold or make a tax payment on behalf of such Partner which withholding or payment is required pursuant to applicable Law) with respect to income attributable to or distributions or other payments to such Partner.

Section 5.07. Tax Matters. 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 Partnership shall file as a partnership for federal, state, provincial 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 federal, state, provincial 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. Tax audits, controversies and litigations shall be conducted under the direction of the Tax Matters Partner. The Tax Matters Partner shall keep the other Partners reasonably informed as to any material tax actions, examinations or proceedings relating to the Partnership. As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to send to each Partner a copy of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Schedule K-1, and any comparable statements required by applicable U.S. state or local income tax Law as a result of the Partnership’s activities or investments, with respect to such Fiscal 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, provided that any costs or expenses with respect to the foregoing shall be borne by the requesting Partner.

Section 5.08. Other Allocation Provisions. Certain of the foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such regulations. In addition to amendments effected in accordance with Section 11.12 or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement, Sections 5.02, 5.03 and 5.04 may also, so long as any such amendment does not materially change the relative economic interests of the Partners, be amended at any time by the General Partner if necessary, in the opinion of tax counsel to the Partnership, to comply with such regulations or any applicable Law.

Section 5.09. Allocations upon Final Liquidation. With respect to the Fiscal Year in which the final liquidation of the Partnership occurs in accordance with Article IX of the Agreement, and notwithstanding any other provision of Article V hereof, items of Partnership income, gain, loss and deduction shall be specially allocated to the Partners in such amounts and priorities as are necessary so that the positive Capital Accounts of the Partners shall, as closely as possible, equal the amounts that will be distributed to the Partners pursuant to Section 9.03.

ARTICLE VI

BOOKS AND RECORDS; REPORTS

Section 6.01. Books and Records

(a) At all times during the continuance of the Partnership, the Partnership shall prepare and maintain separate books of account for the Partnership in accordance with GAAP.

(b) Except as limited by Section 6.01(c), each Limited Partner shall have the right to receive, for a purpose reasonably related to such Limited Partner’s interest as a Limited Partner in the Partnership, upon reasonable written demand stating the purpose of such demand and at such Limited Partner’s own expense:

(i) a copy of the Certificate and this Agreement and all amendments thereto, together with a copy of the executed copies of all powers of attorney pursuant to which the Certificate and this Agreement and all amendments thereto have been executed; and

(ii) promptly after their becoming available, copies of the Partnership’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the three most recent years.

(c) The General Partner may keep confidential from the Limited Partners, for such period of time as the General Partner determines in its sole discretion, (i) any information that the General Partner reasonably believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or (ii) other information the disclosure of which the General Partner believes is not in the best interests of the Partnership, could damage the Partnership or its business or that the Partnership is required by law or by agreement with any third party to keep confidential.

ARTICLE VII

PARTNERSHIP UNITS

Section 7.01. Units.

(a) Interests in the Partnership shall be represented by Units. At the execution of this Agreement, the Units are comprised of two Classes: (x) a Class of Units in the Partnership designated as “Class A Units” and (y) a Class of Units in the Partnership designated as “LTIP Units.” The designations, preferences rights, powers and duties applicable to the LTIP Units are as provided in this Agreement and Schedule I hereto, which is hereby adopted by the General Partner and incorporated by reference herein.

(b) The General Partner in its sole discretion may establish and issue, from time to time in accordance with such procedures as the General Partner shall determine from time to time, additional Units, in one or more additional Classes or series of Units, or other Partnership securities, at such price, and with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers and duties (which may be senior to existing Units, Classes and series of Units or other Partnership securities), as shall be determined by the General Partner without the approval of any Partner or any other Person who may acquire an interest in any of the Units, including (i) the right of such Units to share in Profits and Losses or items thereof; (ii) the right of such Units to share in Partnership distributions; (iii) the rights of such Units upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; (iv) whether, and the terms and conditions upon which, the Partnership may or shall be required to exchange or redeem such Units (including sinking fund provisions); (v) whether such Units are issued with the privilege of conversion or exchange and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange; (vi) the terms and conditions upon which such Units will be issued, evidenced by certificates and assigned or transferred; (vii) the method for determining the Total Percentage Interest as to such Units; (viii) the terms and

conditions of the issuance of such Units (including, without limitation, the amount and form of consideration, if any, to be received by the Partnership in respect thereof, the General Partner being expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to cause the Partnership to issue such Units for less than fair market value); and (ix) the right, if any, of the holder of such Units to vote on Partnership matters, including matters relating to the relative designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties of such Units. The General Partner in its sole discretion, without the approval of any Partner or any other Person, is authorized (i) to issue Units or other Partnership securities of any newly established Class or any existing Class to Partners or other Persons who may acquire an interest in the Partnership and (ii) to amend this Agreement to reflect the creation of any such new Class, the issuance of Units or other Partnership securities of such Class, and the admission of any Person as a Partner which has received Units or other Partnership securities. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement to the contrary, any reference to “Units” shall include the Class A Units, LTIP Units and Units of any other Class or series that may be established in accordance with this Agreement. All Units of a particular Class shall have identical rights in all respects as all other Units of such Class, except in each case as otherwise specified in this Agreement.

(c) As soon as practicable following the occurrence of any event that causes the preferred stock purchase rights attached to shares of Class A common stock of the General Partner to become exercisable pursuant to the Stockholder Rights Agreement, the General Partner shall pursuant to its authority under Section 7.01(b) establish in accordance with this Agreement a Class of Units (“Series A Junior Participating Preferred Units”) that has substantially the same rights and preferences with respect to distributions of the Partnership in relation to Class A Units as shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the General Partner are entitled with respect to dividends and distributions of the General Partner in relation to shares of Class A common stock of the General Partner.

(d) Each Class A Unit (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Class A Units held by the General Partner) and each LTIP Unit has attached to it a right (each a “Preferred Unit Purchase Right”) that entitles the holder of such Class A Unit or such LTIP Unit, as the case may be, to purchase Series A Junior Participating Preferred Units of the Partnership as provided in this Section 7.01(d). Such Preferred Unit Purchase Rights will become exercisable, if at all, at such time and to the same extent as the preferred stock purchase rights attached to shares of Class A common stock of the General Partner shall become exercisable pursuant to the Stockholder Rights Agreement; provided that no Preferred Unit Purchase Right shall be exercisable by any holder of Class A Units or LTIP Units to the extent such holder is an “Acquiring Person” as such term is defined in the Stockholder Rights Agreement and the General Partner shall take such action as it may determine in its sole discretion to be necessary or advisable to give effect to this proviso. Each Preferred Unit Purchase Right will entitle its holder to purchase at an exercise price per Preferred Unit equal to the exercise price per share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the General Partner determined in accordance with the Stockholder Rights Agreement (1) Series A Junior Participating Preferred Units, or (2) in lieu of such Series A Junior Participating Preferred Units, a number of Class A Units equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock of the General Partner that a holder of a preferred stock purchase right attached to a share of Class A common stock of the General Partner would be entitled to purchase pursuant to the Stockholder Rights Agreement. In the event that holders of Class A common stock of the General Partner exercise or exchange the preferred stock purchase rights attached thereto for shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the General Partner, the General Partner shall exercise or

exchange Preferred Unit Purchase Rights attached to Class A Units held by the General Partner for a corresponding number of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Units. In the event that holders of Class A common stock of the General Partner exercise or exchange the preferred stock purchase rights attached thereto for additional shares of Class A common stock of the General Partner, the General Partner shall exercise or exchange Preferred Unit Purchase Rights for a corresponding number of additional Class A Units of the Partnership. If at any time the ratio at which Class A Units are exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock of the General Partner pursuant to the Exchange Agreement changes from one-for-one, the General Partner shall make corresponding adjustments to the number of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Units or Class A Units, as the case may be, that a holder of Class A Units is entitled to receive upon exercise of or in exchange for a Preferred Unit Purchase Right as the General Partner shall determine in its sole discretion.

Section 7.02. Register. The books and records of the Partnership shall be the definitive record of ownership of each Unit and all relevant information with respect to each Partner. Unless the General Partner in its sole discretion shall determine otherwise, Units shall be uncertificated and recorded in the books and records of the Partnership.

Section 7.03. Registered Partners. The Partnership shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a Person registered on its records as the owner of Units for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in Units on the part of any other Person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the Act or other applicable Law.

ARTICLE VIII

VESTING; FORFEITURE OF INTERESTS; TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

Section 8.01. Vesting of Unvested Units.

(a) Unvested Units shall vest and shall thereafter be Vested Units for all purposes of this Agreement as agreed to in writing between the General Partner and the applicable Limited Partner and reflected in the books and records of the Partnership.

(b) The General Partner in its sole discretion may authorize the earlier vesting of all or a portion of Unvested Units owned by any one or more Limited Partners at any time and from time to time, and in such event, such Unvested Units shall vest and thereafter be Vested Units for all purposes of this Agreement. Any such determination in the General Partner’s discretion in respect of Unvested Units shall be final and binding. Such determinations need not be uniform and may be made selectively among Limited Partners, whether or not such Limited Partners are similarly situated, and shall not constitute the breach of any duty hereunder or otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise.

(c) Upon the vesting of any Unvested Units in accordance with this Section 8.01, the General Partner shall modify the books and records of the Partnership to reflect such vesting.

Section 8.02. Forfeiture of Units

(a) Except as otherwise agreed to in writing between the General Partner and the applicable Person, if a Person that is a Service Provider ceases to be a Service Provider for any reason, all Unvested Units held by such Person (or any Personal Planning Vehicle of such Person), and/or in which such Person (or any Personal Planning Vehicle of such Person) has an indirect interest, as set forth in the books and records of the Partnership, shall be immediately forfeited without any consideration, and any such Person (or any such Personal Planning Vehicle) shall cease to own or have any rights, directly or indirectly, with respect to such forfeited Unvested Units.

(b) Except as otherwise agreed to in writing between the General Partner and the applicable Person, if the General Partner determines in good faith that Cause exists with respect to any Person that is or was at any time a Service Provider, the Units (whether or not vested) held by such Person (or any Personal Planning Vehicle of such Person), and/or in which such Person (or any Personal Planning Vehicle of such Person) has an indirect interest, as set forth in the books and records of the Partnership, shall be immediately forfeited without any consideration, and any such Person (or any such Personal Planning Vehicle) shall cease to own or have any rights, directly or indirectly, with respect to such forfeited Units. Such determinations need not be uniform and may be made selectively among such Persons, whether or not such Persons are similarly situated, and shall not constitute the breach by the General Partner or any of its directors, managers, officers or members of any duty (including any fiduciary duty) hereunder or otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise.

(c) The Founder shall have the right to reallocate to one or more other Partners any (i) Class A Units granted as a “Founder Unit Issuance” under an Award Agreement, (ii) LTIP Units granted as an “Earn-Out Unit Grant” under an Award Agreement and (iii) Founder LTIP Units that in any of the foregoing cases expire, fail to become vested or are canceled, forfeited, terminated, or repurchased for nominal consideration (“Forfeited Units”) to one or more other Partners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Founder has ceased to provide services to the Partnership, then Forfeited Units shall be reallocated to holders of like Units pro rata in accordance with their respective holdings of such like Units; provided, however, that for purposes of applying such pro rata reallocation, Founder LTIP Units shall be deemed to be Founder Units. Any Unit that is reallocated in accordance with this Section 8.02(c) shall be subject to terms that are no more favorable than if such reallocated Units were deemed granted on the original date of grant as the underlying Forfeited Units.

(d) Upon the forfeiture of any Units in accordance with this Section 8.02, such Units shall be cancelled and the General Partner shall modify the books and records of the Partnership to reflect such forfeiture and cancellation or reallocation, as applicable.

Section 8.03. Limited Partner Transfers

(a) Except as otherwise agreed to in writing between the General Partner and the applicable Limited Partner and reflected in the books and records of the Partnership, no Limited Partner or Assignee thereof may Transfer (including pursuant to an Exchange Transaction) all or any portion of its Units or other interest in the Partnership (or beneficial interest therein) without the prior consent of the General Partner, which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject

to such conditions (including, without limitation, the receipt of such legal opinions and other documents that the General Partner may require) as are determined by the General Partner, in each case in the General Partner’s sole discretion, and which consent may be in the form of a plan or program entered into or approved by the General Partner, in its sole discretion. Any such determination in the General Partner’s discretion in respect of Units shall be final and binding. Such determinations need not be uniform and may be made selectively among Limited Partners, whether or not such Limited Partners are similarly situated, and shall not constitute the breach of any duty hereunder or otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise. Any purported Transfer of Units that is not in accordance with, or subsequently violates, this Agreement shall be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, null and void. Notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary, the General Partner shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any Transfer of Units by any Significant Limited Partner to any organization that is described in Section 170(c) (determined without reference to Section 170(c)(2)(A)), Section 2055(a) or Section 2522(a) of the Code (or any successor provisions) or to a member or members of such Significant Limited Partner’s family (it being understood that “family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin; descendants of any degree of such Significant Limited Partner, or of such Significant Limited Partner’s spouse or siblings; and charitable organizations, such as private foundations, established by such Significant Limited Partner and controlled by “family”) or to a trust, the beneficiaries of which are exclusively such Significant Limited Partner or a member or members of such Limited Partner’s family or to any other entity that is wholly owned by such persons.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that the General Partner shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any Transfer of Vested Units by any Limited Partner or any Assignee thereof who is not a current or former Service Provider to a member or members of such Limited Partner’s or any such Assignee’s family (it being understood that “family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin; descendants of any degree of such Limited Partner or any such Assignee, or of such Limited Partner’s or any such Assignee’s spouse or siblings; and charitable organizations, such as private foundations, established by such Limited Partner or any such Assignee and controlled by “family”) or to a trust, the beneficiaries of which are exclusively such Limited Partner or any such Assignee or a member or members of such Limited Partner’s or any such Assignee’s family or to any other entity that is wholly owned by such persons.

(c) Notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary in this Section 8.03, each Limited Partner may Transfer Units in an Exchange Transaction pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Exchange Agreement. Notwithstanding Section 17-702(d) of the Act, any Class A Unit acquired by the Partnership (x) in exchange for a share of Class A common stock of the General Partner pursuant to an Exchange Transaction or (y) for cash pursuant to an Exchange Transaction that the General Partner elects to fund with the new issuance of a share of Class A common stock, in each case, shall not be cancelled and automatically shall be deemed re-issued to the General Partner by the Partnership.

(d) Notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary in this Section 8.03, a Personal Planning Vehicle of a Limited Partner may Transfer Units: (i) to the donor thereof; (ii) if the Personal Planning Vehicle is a grantor retained annuity trust and the trustee(s) of such grantor retained annuity trust is obligated to make one or more distributions to the donor of the grantor retained annuity trust, the estate of the donor of the grantor retained annuity trust, the spouse of the donor of the grantor retained annuity trust or the estate of the spouse of the donor of the grantor retained annuity trust, to any such Persons; or (iii) upon the death of such Limited Partner, to the spouse of such Limited Partner or a trust for which a deduction under Section 2056 or 2056A (or any successor provisions) of the Code may be sought.

Section 8.04. Mandatory Exchanges. The General Partner may in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time, without the consent of any Limited Partner or other Person, cause to be Transferred in an Exchange Transaction any and all Units, except for Units held by any Person that is a Service Provider at the time in question and/or in which a Person that is a Service Provider at the time in question has an indirect interest as set forth in the books and records of the Partnership. Any such determinations by the General Partner need not be uniform and may be made selectively among Limited Partners, whether or not such Limited Partners are similarly situated. In addition, the General Partner may, with the consent of Partners whose Vested Percentage Interests exceed 75% of the Vested Percentage Interests of all Partners in the aggregate, require all Limited Partners to Transfer in an Exchange Transaction all Units held by them.

Section 8.05. Encumbrances. No Limited Partner or Assignee may create an Encumbrance with respect to all or any portion of its Units (or any beneficial interest therein) other than Encumbrances that run in favor of the Limited Partner unless the General Partner consents in writing thereto, which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject to such conditions as are determined by the General Partner, in the General Partner’s sole discretion. Consent of the General Partner shall be withheld until the holder of the Encumbrance acknowledges the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any purported Encumbrance that is not in accordance with this Agreement shall be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, null and void.

Section 8.06. Further Restrictions.

(a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, the General Partner may impose such vesting requirements, forfeiture provisions, Transfer restrictions, minimum retained ownership requirements or other similar provisions with respect to any Units that are outstanding as of the date of this Agreement or are created thereafter, with the consent of the holder of such Units. Such requirements, provisions and restrictions need not be uniform and may be waived or released by the General Partner in its sole discretion with respect to all or a portion of the Units owned by any one or more Limited Partners at any time and from time to time, and shall not constitute the breach of any duty hereunder or otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise.

(b) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, in no event may any Transfer of a Unit be made by any Limited Partner or Assignee if:

(i) such Transfer is made to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own such Unit;

(ii) such Transfer would require the registration of such transferred Unit or of any Class of Unit pursuant to any applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) or other non-U.S. securities laws (including Canadian provincial or territorial securities laws) or would constitute a non-exempt distribution pursuant to applicable provincial or state securities laws;

(iii) such Transfer would cause (i) all or any portion of the assets of the Partnership to (A) constitute “plan assets” (under ERISA, the Code or any applicable Similar Law) of any existing or contemplated Limited Partner, or (B) be subject to the provisions of ERISA,

Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable Similar Law, or (ii) the General Partner to become a fiduciary with respect to any existing or contemplated Limited Partner, pursuant to ERISA, any applicable Similar Law, or otherwise; or

(iv) to the extent requested by the General Partner, the Partnership does not receive such legal and/or tax opinions and written instruments (including, without limitation, copies of any instruments of Transfer and such Assignee’s consent to be bound by this Agreement as an Assignee) that are in a form satisfactory to the General Partner, as determined in the General Partner’s sole discretion.

(c) In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the board of directors of the General Partner shall determine in good faith that additional restrictions on Transfers are necessary so that the Partnership is not treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704 of the Code, the General Partner may impose such additional restrictions on Transfers as the board of directors of the General Partner has determined in good faith to be so necessary.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by law, any Transfer in violation of this Article VIII shall be deemed null and void ab initio and of no effect.

Section 8.07. Rights of Assignees. Subject to Section 8.06(b), the Transferee of any permitted Transfer pursuant to this Article VIII will be an assignee only (“Assignee”), and only will receive, to the extent transferred, the distributions and allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit or similar item to which the Partner which transferred its Units would be entitled, and such Assignee will not be entitled or enabled to exercise any other rights or powers of a Partner, such other rights, and all obligations relating to, or in connection with, such interest remaining with the transferring Partner. The transferring Partner will remain a Partner even if it has transferred all of its Units to one or more Assignees until such time as the Assignee(s) is admitted to the Partnership as a Partner pursuant to Section 8.10.

Section 8.08. Allocation of Profits and Losses Upon Transfer. If a Partner sells or exchanges Units or if a Partner is otherwise is admitted as a substitute Partner, Profits and Losses shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee by taking into account their varying Units during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using the interim closing of the books method described in proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.706-4(c) to the extent reasonably practicable or, to the extent such method is not reasonably practicable, any other permissible method (as determined by the General Partner).

Section 8.09. Admissions, Withdrawals and Removals

(a) No Person may be admitted to the Partnership as an additional General Partner or substitute General Partner without the prior written consent of each incumbent General Partner, which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject to such conditions as are determined by each incumbent General Partner, in each case in the sole discretion of each incumbent General Partner. A General Partner will not be entitled to Transfer all of its Units or to withdraw from being a General Partner of the Partnership unless another General Partner shall have been admitted hereunder (and not have previously been removed or withdrawn). Any additional

General Partner or substitute general partner admitted as a General Partner of the Partnership pursuant to this Section 8.09 is hereby authorized to, and shall, continue the Partnership without dissolution.

(b) No Limited Partner will be removed or entitled to withdraw from being a Partner of the Partnership except in accordance with Section 8.11 hereof.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in Article IX or the Act, no admission, substitution, withdrawal or removal of a Partner will cause the dissolution of the Partnership. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any purported admission, withdrawal or removal that is not in accordance with this Agreement shall be null and void.

Section 8.10. Admission of Assignees as Substitute Limited Partners. An Assignee will become a substitute Limited Partner as of a specified effective date only upon the satisfaction or waiver of each of the following conditions:

(a) the General Partner consents in writing to such admission, which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject to such conditions as are determined by the General Partner, in each case in the General Partner’s sole discretion;

(b) if required by the General Partner, the General Partner receives written instruments (including, without limitation, copies of any instruments of Transfer and such Assignee’s consent to be bound by this Agreement as a substitute Limited Partner) that are in a form satisfactory to the General Partner (as determined in its sole discretion);

(c) if required by the General Partner, the General Partner receives an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the General Partner to the effect that such Transfer is in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable Law; and

(d) if required by the General Partner, the parties to the Transfer, or any one of them, pays all of the Partnership’s reasonable expenses connected with such Transfer (including, but not limited to, the reasonable legal and accounting fees of the Partnership).

Section 8.11. Withdrawal and Removal of Limited Partners. Subject to Section 8.07, if a Limited Partner ceases to hold any Units, including as a result of a forfeiture of Units pursuant to Section 8.02, then such Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner and to have the power to exercise any rights or powers of a Limited Partner, and shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the Partnership.

ARTICLE IX

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

Section 9.01. No Dissolution. Except as required by the Act, the Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of additional Partners or withdrawal of Partners in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Partnership may be dissolved, liquidated, wound up and terminated only pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX, and the Partners hereby irrevocably waive any and all other rights they may have to cause a dissolution of the Partnership or a sale or partition of any or all of the Partnership assets.

Section 9.02. Events Causing Dissolution. The Partnership shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each, a “Dissolution Event”):

(a) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership under Section 17-802 of the Act upon the finding by a court of competent jurisdiction that it is not reasonably practicable to carry on the business of the Partnership in conformity with this Agreement;

(b) any event which makes it unlawful for the business of the Partnership to be carried on by the Partners;

(d) at any time there are no limited partners, unless the Partnership is continued in accordance with the Act;

(e) the Incapacity or removal of the General Partner or the occurrence of a Disabling Event with respect to the General Partner; provided that the Partnership will not be dissolved or required to be wound up in connection with any of the events specified in this Section 9.02(e) if: (i) at the time of the occurrence of such event there is at least one other general partner of the Partnership who is hereby authorized to, and elects to, carry on the business of the Partnership; or (ii) all remaining Limited Partners consent to or ratify the continuation of the business of the Partnership and the appointment of another general partner of the Partnership, effective as of the event that caused the General Partner to cease to be a general partner of the Partnership, within 120 days following the occurrence of any such event, which consent shall be deemed (and if requested each Limited Partner shall provide a written consent or ratification) to have been given for all Limited Partners if the holders of more than 50% of the Vested Units then outstanding agree in writing to so continue the business of the Partnership; or

(f) the determination of the General Partner in its sole discretion; provided that in the event of a dissolution pursuant to this clause (f), the relative economic rights of each Class of Units immediately prior to such dissolution shall be preserved to the greatest extent practicable with respect to distributions made to Partners pursuant to Section 9.03 below in connection with the winding up of the Partnership, taking into consideration tax and other legal constraints that may adversely affect one or more parties hereto and subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, unless, and to the extent that, with respect to any Class of Units, holders of not less than 90% of the Units of such Class consent in writing to a treatment other than as described above.

Section 9.03. Distribution upon Dissolution. Upon dissolution, the Partnership shall not be terminated and shall continue until the winding up of the affairs of the Partnership is completed. Upon the winding up of the Partnership, the General Partner, or any other Person designated by the General Partner (the “Liquidation Agent”), shall take full account of the assets and liabilities of the Partnership and shall, unless the General Partner determines otherwise, liquidate the assets of the Partnership as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof. The proceeds of any liquidation shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

(a) First, to the satisfaction of debts and liabilities of the Partnership (including satisfaction of all indebtedness to Partners and/or their Affiliates to the extent otherwise permitted by law) including the expenses of liquidation, and including the establishment of any reserve which the Liquidation Agent shall deem reasonably necessary for any contingent, conditional or unmatured contractual liabilities or obligations of the Partnership (“Contingencies”). Any such reserve may be paid over by the Liquidation Agent to any attorney-at-law, or acceptable party, as escrow agent, to be held for disbursement in payment of any Contingencies and, at the expiration of such period as shall be deemed advisable by the Liquidation Agent for distribution of the balance in the manner hereinafter provided in this Section 9.03; and

(b) The balance, if any, to the Partners in proportion to the Class A Units and LTIP Units held by them; provided that (i) distributions to a Partner in respect of an LTIP Unit shall be limited to the Partner’s Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to such LTIP Unit as of the date of the final distribution (and after taking into account any allocations pursuant to the dissolution) and (ii) amounts that otherwise would have been distributed to such Partners in respect of LTIP Units in the absence of clause (i) shall be distributed to the Partners holding Class A Units or LTIP Units in proportion to the Class A Units and LTIP Units held by them (excluding for this purpose all LTIP Units that are not eligible to participate in any further distributions as a result of the foregoing clause (i) of this Section 9.03(b)).

Section 9.04. Time for Liquidation. A reasonable amount of time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Partnership and the discharge of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Liquidation Agent to minimize the losses attendant upon such liquidation.

Section 9.05. Termination. The Partnership shall terminate when all of the assets of the Partnership, after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership, shall have been distributed to the holders of Units in the manner provided for in this Article IX, and the Certificate shall have been cancelled in the manner required by the Act.

Section 9.06. Claims of the Partners. The Partners shall look solely to the Partnership’s assets for the return of their Capital Contributions, and if the assets of the Partnership remaining after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership are insufficient to return such Capital Contributions, the Partners shall have no recourse against the Partnership or any other Partner or any other Person. No Partner with a negative balance in such Partner’s Capital Account shall have any obligation to the Partnership or to the other Partners or to any creditor or other Person to restore such negative balance during the existence of the Partnership, upon dissolution or termination of the Partnership or otherwise, except to the extent required by the Act.

Section 9.07. Survival of Certain Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of Sections 5.06, 10.02, 11.09 and 11.10 shall survive the termination of the Partnership.

ARTICLE X

LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.01. Liability of Partners

(a) No Limited Partner and no Affiliate, manager, member, employee or agent of a Limited Partner shall be liable for any debt, obligation or liability of the Partnership or of any other Partner or have any obligation to restore any deficit balance in its Capital Account solely by reason of being a Partner of the Partnership, except to the extent required by the Act.

(b) This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any duty (including any fiduciary duty) on any of the Partners (including without limitation, the General Partner) hereto or on their respective Affiliates. Further, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity, the parties hereto agree that no Limited Partner or General Partner shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have duties (including fiduciary duties) to any other Partner or to the Partnership or to any other Person who is a party to or is bound by this Agreement, and in doing so, recognize, acknowledge and agree that their duties and obligations to one another and to the Partnership are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that each Partner shall have the duty to act in accordance with the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(c) To the extent that, at law or in equity, any Partner (including without limitation, the General Partner) has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership, to another Partner or to another Person who is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement, the Partners (including without limitation, the General Partner) acting under this Agreement will not be liable to the Partnership, to any such other Partner or to any such other Person who is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement, for their good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities relating thereto of any Partner (including without limitation, the General Partner) otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace to that extent such other duties and liabilities of the Partners relating thereto (including without limitation, the General Partner).

(d) The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants and financial or other advisors selected by it, and any act or omission taken by the General Partner 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 Person as to matters the General Partner reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion or advice, and the General Partner will be fully protected in so acting or omitting to act so long as such counsel or accountants or financial or other advisors were selected with reasonable care.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise applicable provision of law or equity, whenever in this Agreement the General Partner is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or under a grant of similar

authority or latitude, such General Partner shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Partnership or the Limited Partners, or (ii) in its “good faith” or under another expressed standard, such General Partner shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards. For all purposes of this Agreement and notwithstanding any applicable provision of law or in equity, a determination or other action or failure to act by the General Partner, will be deemed to be made, taken or omitted to be made or taken in “good faith”, and shall not be a breach of this Agreement, unless the General Partner subjectively believed such determination, action or failure to act was opposed to the best interests of the Partnership. The belief of a majority of the directors of the Board of Directors of the General Partner or a duly appointed committee thereof shall be deemed to be the belief of the General Partner.

Section 10.02. Indemnification.

(a) Exculpation and Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Indemnitee shall be liable to the Partnership or any Partner for any act or omission in relation to the Partnership or this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby taken or omitted by an Indemnitee unless such Indemnitee’s conduct constituted fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct. To the fullest extent permitted by law, as the same exists or hereafter be amended (but in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Partnership to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Partnership to provide prior to such amendment), the Partnership shall indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (brought in the right of the Partnership or otherwise), whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, including appeals, by reason of his or her or its status as an Indemnitee or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted to be taken by Indemnitee in such capacity, for and against all loss and liability suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, including appeals; provided that such Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder if, but only to the extent that, such Indemnitee’s conduct constituted fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.02(c), the Partnership shall be required to indemnify an Indemnitee in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) (i) commenced by such Indemnitee only if the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) by such Indemnitee was authorized by the General Partner and (ii) by or in the right of the Partnership only if the General Partner has provided its prior written consent. The indemnification of any Indemnitee shall, to the extent not in conflict with such policy, be secondary to any and all payment to which such Indemnitee is entitled from any relevant insurance policy issued to or for the benefit of the Partnership or any Indemnitee.

(b) Advancement of Expenses. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership shall promptly pay expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any Indemnitee in appearing at, participating in or defending any action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, including appeals, upon presentation of an

undertaking on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 10.02 or otherwise. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.02(c), the Partnership shall be required to pay expenses of an Indemnitee in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) (i) commenced by such Indemnitee only if the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) by such Indemnitee was authorized by the General Partner and (ii) by or in the right of the Partnership only if the General Partner has provided its prior written consent.

(c) Unpaid Claims. If a claim for indemnification (following the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding) or advancement of expenses under this Section 10.02 is not paid in full within 30 days after a written claim therefor by any Indemnitee has been received by the Partnership, such Indemnitee may file proceedings to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Partnership shall have the burden of proving that such Indemnitee is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable Law.

(d) Insurance. (i) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person described in Section 10.02(a) against any liability asserted against such person, whether or not the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Section 10.02 or otherwise.

(ii) In the event of any payment by the Partnership under this Section 10.02, the Partnership shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee from any relevant other Person or under any insurance policy issued to or for the benefit of the Partnership, such relevant other Person, or any Indemnitee. Each Indemnitee agrees to execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Partnership to bring suit to enforce any such rights in accordance with the terms of such insurance policy or other relevant document. The Partnership shall pay or reimburse all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such subrogation.

(iii) The Partnership shall not be liable under this Section 10.02 to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, and excise taxes with respect to an employee benefit plan or penalties) if and to the extent that the applicable Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under this Section 10.02 or any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

(e) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The provisions of this Section 10.02 shall be applicable to all actions, claims, suits or proceedings made or commenced after the date of this Agreement, whether arising from acts or omissions to act occurring before or after its adoption. The provisions of this Section 10.02 shall be deemed to be a contract between the Partnership and each person entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.02 (or legal representative thereof) who serves in such capacity at any time while this Section 10.02 and the relevant provisions of

applicable Law, if any, are in effect, and any amendment, modification or repeal hereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or any action, suit or proceeding then or theretofore existing, or any action, suit or proceeding thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part on any such state of facts. If any provision of this Section 10.02 shall be found to be invalid or limited in application by reason of any law or regulation, it shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions hereof. The rights of indemnification provided in this Section 10.02 shall neither be exclusive of, nor be deemed in limitation of, any rights to which any person may otherwise be or become entitled or permitted by contract, this Agreement or as a matter of law, both as to actions in such person’s official capacity and actions in any other capacity, it being the policy of the Partnership that indemnification of any person whom the Partnership is obligated to indemnify pursuant to Section 10.02(a) shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law.

For purposes of this Section 10.02, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Partnership” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Partnership which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries.

This Section 10.02 shall not limit the right of the Partnership, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to, and purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of, persons other than persons described in Section 10.02(a).

(c) The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, unilaterally amend this Agreement on or before the effective date of the final regulations to provide for (i) the election of a safe harbor under Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3(l) (or any similar provision) under which the fair market value of a partnership interest in the Partnership (or interest in an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is transferred is treated as being equal to the liquidation value of that interest, (ii) an agreement by the Partnership and each of its Partners to comply with all of the requirements set forth in such regulations and Notice 2005-43 (and any other guidance provided by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to such election) with respect to all partnership interests in the Partnership (or interest in an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) transferred in connection with the performance of services while the election remains effective, (iii) the allocation of items of income, gains, deductions and losses required by the final regulations similar to Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(xii)(b) and (c), 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(b)(1) and any other related amendments.

Schedule I

LTIP UNITS

1.1 Designation. A class of Units in the Partnership designated as “LTIP Units” is hereby established. LTIP Units are intended to qualify as “profits interests” in the Partnership. The number of LTIP Units that may be issued by the Partnership shall not be limited.

1.2 Vesting. LTIP Units may, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, be issued subject to vesting, forfeiture and additional restrictions on transfer pursuant to the terms of the relevant Award Agreement. The terms of any Award Agreement may be modified by the General Partner from time to time in its sole discretion, subject to any restrictions on amendment imposed by the relevant Award Agreement or by the terms of any equity incentive plan, including without limitation the PJT Partners Inc. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to which the LTIP Units are issued, if applicable. LTIP Units that have vested and are no longer subject to forfeiture under the terms of an Award Agreement are referred to as “Vested LTIP Units;” all other LTIP Units are referred to as “Unvested LTIP Units.”

1.3 Forfeiture or Transfer of Unvested LTIP Units. Unless otherwise specified in the relevant Award Agreement, upon the occurrence of any event specified in an Award Agreement resulting in either the forfeiture of any LTIP Units or the repurchase thereof by the Partnership at a specified purchase price, then, upon the occurrence of the circumstances resulting in such forfeiture or repurchase by the Partnership, the relevant LTIP Units shall immediately, and without any further action, be treated as cancelled and no longer outstanding for any purpose. Unless otherwise specified in the relevant Award Agreement, no consideration or other payment (other than the repurchase payment, if any) shall be due with respect to any LTIP Units that have been forfeited; provided that with respect to any distribution declared with a record date prior to the effective date of such forfeiture, such forfeited LTIP Units shall be included in calculating the applicable holder’s Total Percentage Interest in accordance with Article IV of the Partnership Agreement.

1.4 Legend. Any certificate evidencing an LTIP Unit shall bear an appropriate legend indicating that additional terms, conditions and restrictions on transfer, including without limitation provisions set forth in the Award Agreement, apply to the LTIP Unit.

1.5 Adjustments. If an LTIP Unit Adjustment Event (as defined below) occurs, then the General Partner shall make a corresponding adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain the same correspondence between Class A Units and LTIP Units as existed prior to such LTIP Unit Adjustment Event. The following shall be “LTIP Unit Adjustment Events:” (A) the Partnership makes a distribution on all outstanding Class A Units in Class A Units, (B) the Partnership subdivides the outstanding Class A Units into a greater number of Units or combines the outstanding Class A Units into a smaller number of Units, or (C) the Partnership issues any Units in exchange for its outstanding Class A Units by way of a reclassification or recapitalization. If more than one LTIP Unit Adjustment Event occurs, the adjustment to the LTIP Units need be made only once using a single formula that takes into account each and every LTIP Unit Adjustment Event as if all LTIP Unit Adjustment Events occurred simultaneously. If the Partnership takes an action affecting the Class A Units other than actions specifically described above as LTIP Unit Adjustment Events, including any extraordinary distribution to holders of Class A Units, and in the opinion of the General Partner such action would require an adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain the correspondence between Class A Units and LTIP Units as it existed prior to such action, the General Partner shall make such adjustment to the LTIP Units, to the extent permitted by law and by the terms of any Award Agreement or equity incentive plan pursuant to which the LTIP Units have been issued, in such manner and at such time as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may determine to be appropriate under the circumstances to maintain such correspondence. If an adjustment is made to the

I-1

LTIP Units as herein provided, the Partnership shall promptly file in the books and records of the Partnership an officer’s certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment absent manifest error. Promptly after filing such certificate, the Partnership shall mail or otherwise provide notice to each holder of LTIP Units setting forth the adjustment to such holder’s LTIP Units and the effective date of such adjustment.

1.6 Conversion of LTIP Units into Class A Units. Except as otherwise agreed between the General Partner and the applicable LTIP Unit Limited Partner, subject to the expiration of any applicable LTIP Unit Restricted Period (as defined below), on the first date that a Participating LTIP Unit (including, for purposes of clarity, a Founder LTIP Unit) has attained a Book-Up Target of zero (such date, the “LTIP Unit Conversion Date”), such Participating LTIP Unit shall, without any action on the part of the holder of such LTIP Unit or any other Person, automatically be converted into a number (or fraction thereof) of fully paid and non-assessable Class A Units equal to the LTIP Conversion Factor (as defined below). No LTIP Units shall be convertible pursuant to this Section 1.6 of Schedule I prior to the expiration of a twenty-four month period (the “LTIP Unit Restricted Period”) ending on the day before the first twenty-four month anniversary of such holder’s becoming a holder of such LTIP Units; provided, however, that the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, shorten or lengthen the LTIP Unit Restricted Period applicable to any LTIP Units by written agreement with the holder thereof to a period of shorter or longer than twenty-four (24) months, without the consent of any other Partner and such written agreement shall govern the LTIP Unit Restricted Period with respect to such LTIP Units notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary herein. Any vesting, forfeiture and additional restrictions on transfer to which a Participating LTIP Unit is subject at the time of its conversion under the terms of the relevant Award Agreement shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to any Class A Units received upon conversion of such LTIP Unit. “LTIP Conversion Factor” shall mean the quotient of (i) the Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to the LTIP Unit being converted as of the date of conversion, divided by (ii) the Class A Unit Economic Balance as of the date of conversion, provided that if the Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to an LTIP Unit has at any time reached an amount equal to the Class A Economic Balance determined as of such time, the LTIP Conversion Factor for such LTIP Unit shall be equal to one (1) (except to the extent of adjustments (if any) to the LTIP Conversion Factor made pursuant to Section 1.5 of this Schedule I, without duplication).

1.7 Forced Conversion by the Partnership into Class A Units.

(a) The Partnership may cause LTIP Units to be converted (a “LTIP Unit Forced Conversion”) into Class A Units at any time so long as the applicable holder thereof receives in respect of each LTIP Unit so converted a number (or fraction thereof) of fully paid and non-assessable Class A Units equal to the greater of (x) the LTIP Conversion Factor for such LTIP Unit (giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 1.5 of this Schedule I) and (y) one (1).

(b) In order to exercise its right to cause an LTIP Unit Forced Conversion, the Partnership shall deliver a notice (a “LTIP Unit Forced Conversion Notice”) in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto to the applicable holder not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the date specified in such LTIP Unit Forced Conversion Notice (such date, the “LTIP Unit Forced Conversion Date”). A Forced LTIP Unit Conversion Notice shall be provided in the manner in which notices are generally to be provided in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. Each holder of LTIP Units covenants and agrees with the Partnership that all LTIP Units to be converted pursuant to this Section 1.7 of this Schedule I shall be free and clear of all liens.

I-2

1.8 Conversion Procedures. A conversion of LTIP Units pursuant to Section 1.6 or 1.7 of this Schedule I shall occur automatically after the close of business on the applicable LTIP Unit Conversion Date or LTIP Unit Forced Conversion Date, as the case may be, without any action on the part of such holder of LTIP Units, as of which time such holder of LTIP Units shall be credited on the books and records of the Partnership with the issuance as of the opening of business on the next day of the number of Class A Units issuable upon such conversion. After the conversion of LTIP Units as aforesaid, the Partnership shall deliver to such holder of LTIP Units, upon his or her written request, a certificate certifying the number of Class A Units and remaining LTIP Units, if any, held by such Person immediately after such conversion.

1.9 Treatment of Capital Account. For purposes of making future allocations under the Partnership Agreement, reference to a Partner’s portion of its Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to his or her LTIP Units shall exclude, after the date of conversion of any of its LTIP Units, the portion of such Partner’s Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to the converted LTIP Units.

1.10 Mandatory Conversion in Connection with a Capital Transaction.

(a) If the Partnership or the General Partner shall be a party to any transaction (including without limitation a merger, consolidation, unit exchange, self tender offer for all or substantially all Class A Units or other business combination or reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets, but excluding any transaction which constitutes an LTIP Unit Adjustment Event) as a result of which Class A Units shall be exchanged for or converted into the right, or the holders of Class A Units shall otherwise be entitled, to receive cash, securities or other property or any combination thereof (any such transaction being referred to herein as a “Capital Transaction”), then, to the extent not already converted into Class A Units in accordance with Section 1.6 of this Schedule I, the General Partner shall, immediately prior to the consummation of the Capital Transaction, exercise its right to cause an LTIP Unit Forced Conversion with respect to any and all LTIP Units that have become Vested LTIP Units and the Book-Up Target of which is zero, taking into account any allocations that occur in connection with the Capital Transaction or that would occur in connection with the Capital Transaction if the assets of the Partnership were sold at the Capital Transaction price or, if applicable, at a value determined by the General Partner in good faith using the value attributed to the Class A Units in the context of the Capital Transaction (in which case the LTIP Unit Conversion Date shall be the effective date of the Capital Transaction and the conversion shall occur immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Capital Transaction).

(b) In anticipation of such LTIP Unit Forced Conversion and the consummation of the Capital Transaction, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each holder of such converting LTIP Units to be afforded the right to receive in connection with such Capital Transaction in consideration for the Class A Units into which such holder’s LTIP Units will be converted the same kind and amount of cash, securities and other property (or any combination thereof) receivable upon the consummation of such Capital Transaction by a holder of the same number of Class A Units, assuming such holder of Class A Units is not a Person with which the Partnership consolidated or into which the Partnership merged or which merged into the Partnership or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (a “Constituent Person”), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person. In the event that holders of Class A Units have the opportunity to elect the form or type of consideration to be received upon consummation of the Capital Transaction, prior to such Capital Transaction the Partnership shall give prompt written notice to each holder of such converting LTIP Units of such election, and the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to afford such holders the right to elect, by written notice to the General Partner, the form or type of consideration to be received upon conversion of

I-3

each LTIP Unit held by such holder into Class A Units in connection with such Capital Transaction. If a holder of LTIP Units fails to make such an election, such holder (and any his or her transferees) shall receive upon conversion of each LTIP Unit held by him or her (or by any of his or her transferees) the same kind and amount of consideration that a holder of a Class A Unit would receive if such holder of Class A Units failed to make such an election.

(c) Subject to the rights of the Partnership and the General Partner under the relevant Award Agreement and the terms of any equity incentive plan, including without limitation the Plan, under which LTIP Units are issued, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause the terms of any Capital Transaction to be consistent with the provisions of this Section 1.10, and (ii) in the event LTIP Units are not converted into Class A Units in connection with the Capital Transaction (including pursuant to Section 1.10(a) above), subject to the rights of the General Partner and the Partnership set forth in Section 1.12 below to the extent that they can act without the consent of holders of LTIP Units, the Partnership shall (A) enter into an agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of those holders of LTIP Units whose LTIP Units will not be converted into Class A Units in connection with the Capital Transaction that, to the extent not incompatible with the interests of the holders of Class A Units and the holders of Class A common stock of the General Partner, (x) contains reasonable provisions designed to allow such holders to subsequently convert, redeem or exchange their LTIP Units, if and when eligible for conversion, redemption or exchange into securities comparable as reasonably possible under the circumstances to the Class A Units, and (y) preserves as far as reasonably possible under the circumstances the distribution, special allocation, conversion, and other rights of such holders, or (B) otherwise provide for payment to be made to such LTIP Unit holders (in respect of any unconverted LTIP Units) that is reasonably determined by the General Partner to be comparable to the consideration received by holders of Class A Units in the Capital Transaction.

1.11 Exchange Rights of LTIP Unit Limited Partners.

(a) LTIP Units will not be redeemable at the option of the Partnership; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Partnership (i) from repurchasing LTIP Units from the holder thereof if and to the extent that such holder agrees to sell such LTIP Units or (ii) from exercising the right to cause a LTIP Unit Forced Conversion. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Class A Units received by a LTIP Unit Limited Partner upon conversion of LTIP Units, including a LTIP Unit Forced Conversion, such LTIP Unit Limited Partner shall have the right to exchange such Class A Units in accordance with the Exchange Agreement.

(b) Except as otherwise set forth in the relevant Award Agreement or other separate agreement entered into between the Partnership and a LTIP Unit Limited Partner, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein or in the Partnership Agreement, on or at any time after the applicable LTIP Unit Conversion Date or LTIP Unit Forced Conversion Date, each LTIP Unit Limited Partner will have the same right (and subject to the same terms and conditions and to be effected in the same manner) to re exchange all or a portion of any vested Class A Units resulting from a conversion of any LTIP Units as the other holders of Class A Units in accordance with the Exchange Agreement.

1.12 Special Approval Rights. The General Partner and/or the Partnership shall not, without the affirmative approval of holders of more than 50% of the then outstanding LTIP Units affected thereby, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting separately as a class), take any action that would materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, the rights, powers or privileges of such LTIP Units, subject to the following exceptions and

I-4

qualifications: (i) no separate consent of the holders of LTIP Units will be required if and to the extent that any such alteration, change, modification or amendment would, in a ratable and proportional manner, alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the Class A Units; (ii) a merger, consolidation or other business combination or reorganization of the Partnership or the General Partner, or any of their Affiliates shall not be deemed to materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of an LTIP Unit (and the holder of such LTIP Unit will not be entitled to any vote or consent with respect to such merger, consolidation or other business combination or reorganization in respect of such LTIP Unit) so long as any of the following apply: (w) such LTIP Unit is converted immediately prior to the effectiveness of the transaction into a number (or fraction thereof) of fully paid and non-assessable Class A Units equal to the greater of (i) the LTIP Conversion Factor for such LTIP Unit (giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 1.5 of this Schedule I) and (ii) one (1) (which Class A Units, for the avoidance of doubt, may be unvested to the extent the LTIP Unit so converted is not a Vested LTIP Unit); (x) the holder of such LTIP Unit either will receive, or will have the right to elect to receive, in respect of such LTIP Unit an amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to the amount of cash, securities or other property that would be paid in respect of such LTIP Unit had it been converted into a Class A Unit (or fraction of a Class A Unit, as applicable under the terms of such LTIP Unit) immediately prior to the transaction; (y) such LTIP Unit remains outstanding with its terms materially unchanged; or (z) if the Partnership is not the surviving entity in such transaction, such LTIP Unit is exchanged for a security of the surviving entity with terms that are materially the same with respect to rights to allocations, distributions, redemption, conversion and voting as such LTIP Unit; (iii) any creation or issuance of Units (whether ranking junior to, on a parity with or senior to the LTIP Units in any respect), which either (x) does not require the consent of the holders of Class A Units or (y) is authorized by the holders of Class A Units shall not be deemed to materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the LTIP Units; and (iv) any waiver by the Partnership or the General Partner of restrictions or limitations applicable to any outstanding LTIP Units with respect to any holder or holders thereof shall not be deemed to materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the LTIP Units with respect to other holders. For the avoidance of doubt, the General Partner in its sole discretion may waive any restrictions or limitations (including vesting restrictions or transfer restrictions) applicable to any outstanding LTIP Units with respect to any holder or holders at any time and from time to time. Any such determination in the General Partner’s discretion in respect of such LTIP Units shall be final and binding. Such determinations need not be uniform and may be made selectively among holders of LTIP Units, whether or not such holders are similarly situated, and shall not constitute the breach of any duty hereunder or otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise. The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, as of or prior to the time when the action with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required will be taken or be effective, all outstanding LTIP Units shall have been converted and/or redeemed, or provision is made for such redemption and/or conversion to occur as of or prior to such time.

1.13 Limited Partners’ Rights to Transfer. Subject to the terms of the relevant Award Agreement or other document pursuant to which LTIP Units are granted and except in connection with the exercise of its exchange rights pursuant to Section 1.11 of this Schedule I, a holder of LTIP Units may not transfer all or any portion of such holder’s LTIP Units, except, in the case of Vested LTIP Units, to the extent, and subject to the same restrictions, that a holder of Class A Units is entitled to transfer Class A Units pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Partnership Agreement.

1.14 Allocations and Distributions.

(a) All distributions shall be made to holders of LTIP Units in accordance with the provisions of Article IV of the Partnership Agreement.

(b) All allocations, including allocations of Profits and Losses of the Partnership, special allocations and allocations upon final liquidation, shall be made to holders of LTIP Units in accordance with Article V of the Partnership Agreement.
