AGREEMENTS

ARTICLE I

DEFINED TERMS

1.1 Defined Terms. Attached to this Agreement immediately following the signature pages is a glossary of defined terms (the “Glossary of Defined Terms”). Each capitalized term used in this Agreement either is defined herein or in the Glossary of Defined Terms, or the location of its definition is cross-referenced in the Glossary of Defined Terms, or, if not so defined, has the definition given to such term in the Parent LP Agreement.

ARTICLE II

GENERAL PROVISIONS

2.1 Formation. The Partnership was formed as a limited partnership effective on September 15, 2008 under the Act. The rights and liabilities of the General Partner and the Limited Partners shall be as provided in the Act, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

2.2 Partnership Name. The name of the Partnership, and the name under which the business of the Partnership shall be conducted, shall be BB Co-Invest L.P. The General Partner may change the name of the Partnership or adopt such trade or fictitious names for the Partnership as it may determine from time to time.

2.3 Purpose and Business. The purpose of the Partnership shall be to conduct any lawful business whatsoever that may be conducted by a limited partnership under the Act including, without limitation, acquiring, directly or indirectly, the Parent Interests, managing and supervising such investment, and selling, distributing or otherwise disposing of such investment, in whole or in part, to enter into the Partnership Documents and to exercise their rights and comply with their obligations thereunder, and to engage in any ancillary activities reasonable related thereto (including filing tax returns, selling equity interests and receiving distributions).

(d) otherwise to have all the powers available to it as a limited partnership under applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership shall not (i) consent to or otherwise approve any amendment or other modification to the Parent LP Agreement that by its express terms would have a disproportionately material adverse effect on the rights, obligations, powers or interests of the Partnership, in its capacity as a “Class A Common Partner” (as defined in the Parent LP Agreement) of Parent, relative to the other “Class A Common Partners” of Parent in their capacities as such or (ii) approve or consent to the amendment by the Partnership of any of the terms or provisions of the Centre Management Agreement pursuant to Section 14.20 of the

Parent LP Agreement, in each case without the approval of Limited Partners owning at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding Common Units. To the extent such approval of the Limited Partners is required, the Partnership shall notify each Limited Partner of each such proposed amendment or modification to the Parent LP Agreement prior to obtaining such approval of the Limited Partners. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall anything in this Section be construed to grant, give or vest in the Partnership or any Partner any consent or approval rights with respect to the Parent LP Agreement other than those rights expressly set forth in the Parent LP Agreement.

To the extent that the Parent does not take the actions necessary to afford the Partnership the ability to exercise its rights under Articles IX or XI of the Parent LP Agreement or Schedule IV thereto, the Partnership shall take the actions permitted to be taken by the Partnership under applicable law and under the Parent LP Agreement to cause the Parent to afford such rights to the Partnership.

The Partnership, and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, may enter into and perform the Transaction Documents (to the extent a party thereto) and any documents contemplated thereby or related thereto and any amendments thereto, without any further act, vote or approval of any Person, including any Partner, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement. The General Partner is hereby authorized to enter into the documents described in the preceding sentence on behalf of the Partnership, but such authorization shall not be deemed a restriction on the power of the General Partner to enter into other documents on behalf of the Partnership.

jurisdictions in which the Partnership may conduct business, provided that no Limited Partner shall be required to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity in any jurisdiction in which it is not already so qualified.

2.9 Title to Assets. Title to Partnership assets shall be in the name of the Partnership. The Partners shall not have any interest in any specific assets of the Partnership. The interest of the Partners in the Partnership is personal property.

ARTICLE III

PARTNERS’ UNITS

3.1 Partners; Partnership Units.

(a) Partners. Each of the Persons executing this Agreement as a Limited Partner is hereby admitted as a limited partner of the Partnership. The names and addresses of the Partners are set forth on the signature pages hereto, and the names of the Partners together with the number of Common Units and General Partner Units held by the Partners and the number of underlying Parent Partnership Units held by the Partnership, in each case effective immediately following the execution of this Agreement, are set forth on Schedule I hereto. The General Partner shall update Schedule I as required by the Act and this Agreement and ensure that it accurately reflects the information to be provided for therein. Any amendment or revision to Schedule I made in accordance with this Agreement shall not be deemed an amendment to this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to Schedule I shall be deemed to be a reference to Schedule I as amended and in effect from time to time.

(b) Classes. The Partnership Units shall be the “General Partner Units” issued to, and owned by, the General Partner, and the “Common Units” issued to, and owned by, the Common Partners. General Partner Units are voting interests in the Partnership, and include any and all benefits to which the General Partner is entitled as provided in this Agreement, together with all obligations of such General Partner to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the General Partner Units shall have no economic rights in the Partnership. Common Units are non-voting interests in the Partnership except as provided in this Agreement, and include any and all benefits to which such Common Partner is entitled as provided in this Agreement, together with all obligations of such Common Partner to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Issuances of Additional Partnership Units. Solely in connection with transactions contemplated by and effected in accordance with Sections 9.4, 9.5, 9.6 or 9.7, the General Partner is hereby authorized to cause the Partnership from time to time to create and issue to the Partners additional Partnership Units in one or more classes, or one or more series of any of such classes, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional

or other special rights, powers and duties, including rights, powers and duties senior to those of the Limited Partners, all as shall be determined in accordance with Sections 9.4, 9.5, 9.6 or 9.7 by the General Partner in its sole discretion and, except as set forth in Section 13.1, without the approval of any of the Limited Partners, including (A) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to each such class of Partnership Units; (B) the right of each such class of Partnership Units to share in Partnership distributions; and (C) the rights of each such class of Partnership Units upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership. Each Person acquiring such additional Partnership Units shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner upon its execution of a counterpart to this Agreement and satisfaction of all conditions to Transfer.

(d) Unit Certificates. Unless and until the General Partner shall determine otherwise, General Partner Units and Common Units shall each be uncertificated and recorded in the books and records of the Partnership (including Schedule I). To the extent any General Partner Units or Common Units are certificated, such certificates shall be in the form approved by the General Partner from time to time. The General Partner may determine the conditions upon which a new certificate may be issued in place of a certificate that is alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed and may, in its sole discretion, require the owner of such certificate or its legal representative to give an agreement of indemnity or a bond, with sufficient surety, to indemnify the Partnership and each transfer agent and registrar agent, if any, against any and all losses and claims that may arise as a result of the issuance of a new certificate in place of the one so lost, stolen or destroyed. Each Partnership Unit certificate shall bear a legend on the face thereof in the following form:

“TRANSFER IS SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS ON BACK.”

and shall bear a legend on the reverse side thereof substantially in the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE ASSIGNED EXCEPT (A) (1) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SECURITIES WHICH IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT RELATING TO THE DISPOSITION OF SECURITIES AND (B) IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES AND BLUE SKY LAWS.”

“THE SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, OR ENCUMBRANCE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO THE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT OF BB CO-INVEST L.P., AS AMENDED.”

Partnership Unit certificates will also bear such legends as may be required under any other applicable securities laws from time to time.

(e) Common Units. Common Units shall each represent an interest in the residual value of the Partnership after satisfaction of the claims of any senior class of Partnership Units, if any, and shall entitle the holders thereof to distributions and allocations as expressly provided herein.

ARTICLE IV

CONTRIBUTIONS TO CAPITAL AND

ISSUANCES OF ADDITIONAL UNITS

4.1 Limited Partner Capital Contributions. (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the date hereof, each Partner shall make its Capital Contribution in the amount set forth opposite its name on Schedule I. Capital Contributions shall be payable in immediately available funds. In no event shall a Limited Partner be required to contribute capital to the Partnership in excess of its Capital Contribution. In exchange for its Capital Contribution, each Partner shall be issued the number and class of Partnership Units set forth opposite such Partner’s name on Schedule I and upon such issuance pursuant to this Agreement, the Partnership Units so issued shall be deemed to be duly issued and fully paid and nonassessable Partnership Interests in the Partnership.

4.2 [Reserved]

4.3 No Third Party Beneficiary. No creditor or other third party having dealings with the Partnership shall have the right to enforce the right or obligation of any Partner to make Capital Contributions or to pursue any other right or remedy hereunder or at law or in equity, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of, and may be enforced solely by, the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. None of the rights or obligations of the Partners herein set forth to make Capital Contributions to the Partnership shall be deemed an asset of the Partnership for any purpose by any creditor or other third party, nor may such rights or obligations be sold, Transferred or assigned by the Partnership or pledged or encumbered by the Partnership to secure any debt or other obligation of the Partnership or of any of the Partners. In addition, it is the intent of the parties hereto that no distribution to any Limited Partner shall be deemed a return of money or other property in violation of the Act. The payment of any such money or distribution of any such property to a Limited Partner shall be deemed to be a compromise within the meaning of Section 17-502(b) of the Act, and the Limited Partner receiving any such money or property shall not be required to return any such money or property to any Person, the Partnership or any creditor of the Partnership. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Limited Partner is obligated to return such money or property, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Limited Partner and not of the General Partner. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of a Partner shall not be deemed to be a liability of such Partner nor an asset or property of the Partnership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Centre Partners and each of the Indemnitees shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce the indemnification and exculpation provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 5.4 and Section 5.5, as if they were a party hereto.

4.4 Capital Accounts.

(a) The Partnership shall establish a separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) for each class of Partnership Units held by a Partner. Capital Accounts shall consist of such Partner’s initial Capital Contribution to the Partnership for such class of Partnership Units, (i) increased by (A) any additional actual or constructive capital contributions by such Partner to the Partnership for such class of Partnership Units and (B) any income from time to time credited to the Capital Account of such Partner with respect to such class of Partnership Units pursuant to Article VII, and (ii) decreased by (A) any actual or constructive distributions to such Partner on account of such class of Partnership Units and (B) any losses or deductions from time to time charged to the Capital Account of such Partner with respect to such class of Partnership Units pursuant to Article VII.

(b) Capital Accounts shall be determined and maintained in accordance with Code Section 704(b) and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, with such adjustments as may be required thereby. Upon the occurrence of a Book-Up Event (but immediately prior to such Book-Up Event), the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted to reflect the Gross Asset Value of the Partnership’s assets, such that any gain or loss with respect to assets of the Partnership (including unrealized gain or loss) that has not previously been reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts shall be credited to the Capital Accounts of the Partners in accordance with Section 7.1. For purposes of maintaining and determining Capital Accounts, all property distributed in kind by the Partnership to a Partner shall be charged to that Partner’s Capital Account at the Fair Market Value of such property on the date of distribution, and all property contributed in kind by a Partner to the Partnership shall be credited to that Partner’s Capital Account at the Fair Market Value of such property on the date of contribution.

(c) If all or a portion of a Partnership Unit is Transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the assignee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the assignor to the extent that it relates to such Partnership Unit;

(d) Except as expressly required by the Act, no Partner shall have any obligation to restore a deficit balance in its Capital Account.

4.5 No Interest; No Return. No Partner shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution or on such Partner’s Capital Account. Except as expressly provided herein or by law, no Partner shall have with respect to any Partnership Units any right to demand or receive the return of its Capital Contribution from the Partnership.

ARTICLE V

MANAGEMENT

5.1 Expenditures by Partnership. The General Partner is hereby authorized to pay compensation for accounting, administrative, legal, technical, management and other services rendered to the Partnership or any Entity Controlled by the Partnership. All of the aforesaid expenditures shall be made on behalf of the Partnership, and the General Partner shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Partnership for any expenditures (including Administrative Expenses) incurred by it on behalf of the Partnership which shall be made other than out of the funds of the Partnership. The Partnership shall also assume, and pay when due, all Administrative Expenses. All of the Partners hereby acknowledge and agree that Parent or any Entity Controlled by the Parent shall pay the Centre Management Fees.

5.2 Authority, Powers and Duties of General Partner. The General Partner shall have the exclusive right to manage and control the business and affairs of the Partnership. The General Partner shall have all rights, powers and authority of a general partner under the Act and otherwise under applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the other express provisions of this Agreement, the General Partner shall have all rights, powers and authority to do for, on behalf of and in the name of the Partnership all things that it deems necessary, proper or desirable to carry out its duties, including, without limitation, the right, power and authority from time to time to incur liabilities and obligations, to pay fees and expenses and to make other expenditures; to maintain and close accounts with brokers and give instructions or directions in connection therewith; to maintain and close bank accounts and draw checks or other orders for the payment of money; to buy, sell, exchange, or dispose of all securities, checks, money and other assets or liabilities of the Partnership; to hire employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, consultants, custodians, contractors and other agents, and pay them compensation; to enter into, make and perform such contracts, agreements and other undertakings, and do any and all such other acts required of the Partnership with respect to its interest in the Parent, including, but not limited to, entering into agreements with respect to such interests, which agreements may contain such terms, conditions and provisions as the General Partner in its sole discretion shall approve; to xxx, prosecute, settle or compromise all claims against third parties, compromise, settle or accept judgment with respect to claims against the Partnership and execute all documents and make all representations, admissions and waivers in connection therewith; and to enter into, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all contracts, agreements or other instruments to effectuate any or all of the foregoing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the other express provisions of this Agreement, the General Partner is authorized to cause the Partnership to acquire the Parent Interests, dispose of the Parent Interests and to enter into such contracts and agreements in connection therewith as the General Partner may determine to be necessary or desirable in its sole discretion. All determinations, acts and designations to be made by the Partnership or the General Partner hereunder shall be made by the General Partner in its sole discretion. Third parties dealing with the Partnership are entitled to rely conclusively on the authority of the General Partner under the Act and as set forth in this Agreement. The General Partner shall have the power to appoint officers of the Partnership as it deems necessary, and such officers shall exercise such powers and perform such duties as shall be determined by the General Partner.

5.3 Compensation of the General Partner. The General Partner shall not be entitled to any compensation for services rendered to the Partnership solely in its capacity as General Partner, except for reimbursement for expenses actually incurred by it as provided in Section 5.1.

5.4 Indemnification.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the remainder of this Section 5.4(a), the Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromises and settlements, as fines and penalties and

legal or other costs and reasonable expenses of investigating or defending against any claim or alleged claim and any tax imposed on an Indemnitee in respect of amounts of indemnification received hereunder) of any nature whatsoever, liquidated or unliquidated, that are incurred by any Indemnitee and arise out of or in connection with the affairs of the Partnership. In furtherance of the foregoing, an Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder unless there has been a final, non-appealable determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that the claim giving rise to such indemnification was caused solely by Indemnitee’s conduct and such conduct constituted fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence. The satisfaction of any indemnification and any holding harmless pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be from and limited to Partnership assets (including insurance and any agreements pursuant to which the Partnership, its officers or employees or any Indemnitee are entitled to indemnification), and no Partner shall have any personal liability on account thereof.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnitee in defense or settlement of any claim that may be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder shall be advanced by the Partnership prior to the final disposition thereof after receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if there is a final adjudication, after all possible appeals have been exhausted, by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder.

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

(d) The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, by itself, create a presumption that an Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.

(e) The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the obligation to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. The Partnership shall purchase such insurance if it is available on terms the General Partner concludes are reasonable.

(f) The provisions of this Section 5.4 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators, all of whom are third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.4, and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

5.5 Limitation on Liability.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law (including Section 17-1101(c), (d), (e) and (f) of the Act):

(i) notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnitee shall owe any duty (including fiduciary duties) to the Partnership, any of the Partners or any other Person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement, in connection with any act or failure to act, whether hereunder, thereunder or otherwise; provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and

(ii) neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnitee shall have any personal liability to the Partnership, any of the Partners, or any other Person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement for monetary damages in connection with any act or failure to act, or breach, whether hereunder, thereunder or otherwise; provided, however, that this clause (ii) shall not limit or eliminate liability for any act or omission that constitutes a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(b) If any provision of Section 5.5(a) is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the duties and personal liability of either the General Partner or any other Indemnitee to the Partnership, any of the Partners or any other Person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement shall be eliminated to the greatest extent permitted under the Act.

(c) Other than with respect to the General Partner or any other Indemnitee to the extent to which Section 5.5(a) is applicable (unless Sections 5.5(a) and (b) are held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in which case this Section 5.5(c) shall apply to the General Partner and such Indemnitee), subject to applicable law, no such Indemnitee shall be liable, in damages or otherwise, to the Partnership, the Partners or any of their Affiliates for any act or omission performed or omitted by any of them (including, without limitation, any act or omission performed or omitted by any of them in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of experts, including, without limitation, of legal counsel as to matters of law, of accountants as to matters of accounting, or of investment bankers or appraisers as to matters of investment advice, appraisal advice, or valuation), except for any act or omission with respect to which a court of competent jurisdiction has issued a final, nonappealable judgment that such Indemnitee committed fraud, was grossly negligent or engaged in willful misconduct.

(d) The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the General Partner is acting on behalf of the Partnership. Neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnitee shall be obligated to consider the separate interest of any Limited Partner or other Person (including the tax consequences to any Limited Partner or other Person) in deciding, pursuant to its authority granted under this Agreement, whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions that are in the interest of the Partnership. Neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnitee shall be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived by Limited Partners in connection with such decisions.

(e) The provisions of this Section 5.5 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators, all of whom are third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.5, and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

5.6 Determination of the General Partner. To the fullest extent permitted by law and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or in any other agreement contemplated herein or applicable provisions of law or equity or otherwise, whenever in this Agreement the General Partner is permitted or required to make a decision (a) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the General Partner shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including, without limitation, its own interests and those of its Affiliates, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Partnership or any other Person, or (b) in its “good faith” or under another express standard, the General Partner shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of the General Partner otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to modify to that extent such other duties and liabilities of the General Partner. If any questions should arise with respect to the operation of the Partnership that are not specifically provided for in this Agreement or the Act, or with respect to the interpretation of this Agreement, the General Partner is hereby authorized to make a final determination with respect to any such question and to interpret this Agreement in good faith, and its determination and interpretation so made shall be final and binding on all parties.

5.7 Limited Partners.

(a) No Participation in Control. No Limited Partner shall participate in the control of the Partnership’s business, transact any business in the Partnership’s name, or have the power to sign documents for or otherwise bind the Partnership; provided, however, the Limited Partners shall have the consent, voting and other rights expressly provided herein. The taking of any such acts by the General Partner, any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, member, manager, employee, agent or trustee of the General Partner or its Affiliates, in their capacity as such, whether or not representatives of the Limited Partners participated in such acts, shall not affect, impair or eliminate the limitations on the liability of the Limited Partners under the Act or this Agreement.

(b) Bankruptcy of a Limited Partner. The Bankruptcy of any Limited Partner shall not, in and of itself, cause a dissolution of the Partnership, and the rights of such Limited Partner to share in the Profits or Losses of the Partnership and to receive distributions of Partnership funds shall, on the happening of such event, devolve on its successors or assigns, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Partnership shall continue as a limited partnership. However, in no event shall any such successor or assign become a substitute Limited Partner except in accordance with Article VIII.

(c) No Withdrawal. No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership without the prior written consent of the General Partner, other than as expressly provided in this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

DISTRIBUTIONS

6.1 Distributions. Subject to Section 6.2, distributions, including without limitation, distributions of cash, shall be made to Limited Partners only when and if, and in the amounts, the General Partner shall determine in its sole discretion. Except for distributions pursuant to Section 6.2, all distributions shall be made pro rata to the Common Partners in accordance with the respective Percentage Interests in respect of such Common Units held by each. Subject to this Article VI, promptly upon the receipt by the Partnership of any cash distributions from the Parent (including pursuant to Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 9.1 of the Parent LP Agreement), the Partnership shall distribute such cash (less any reasonable reserves maintained by the Partnership with respect to Administrative Expenses) to the Limited Partners to the extent permitted by applicable law.

6.2 Tax Distributions. To the extent the Partnership has cash available to it and after setting aside appropriate reserves, all as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion, the Partnership may distribute to each Partner, cash in an amount equal to such Partner’s Tax Distribution. Any Tax Distributions shall be calculated and made in advance of the dates on which estimated or final tax payments relating to the pertinent Tax Period are due, and shall be made without regard to the actual tax status of any ultimate owner of the Partnership or partner of the Partnership. A Tax Distribution, if made, shall be deemed to have been made on or prior to the last day of the Fiscal Year to which such Tax Distribution relates, and taken into account in determining allocations with respect to such Fiscal Year, notwithstanding that such Tax Distribution may not be made in such Fiscal Year. If the Partnership does not have sufficient cash available to it to make the full Tax Distribution to each Partner for a Fiscal Year, the Tax Distributions for such Fiscal Year shall be made pro rata to the Partners in proportion to the Tax Distributions otherwise owing to each Partner for such Fiscal Year. All Tax Distributions shall be considered as advances against distributions to which Partners are entitled under Section 6.1, and shall reduce such future distributions dollar for dollar.

6.3 Withholding.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Partner authorizes the Partnership to withhold and to pay over, or otherwise pay, any withholding or other taxes payable by the Partnership or any of its Affiliates (pursuant to the Code or any provision of the United States Federal, state, local or foreign tax law) with respect to such Partner or as a result of such Partner’s participation in the Partnership; and if and to the extent that the Partnership shall be required to withhold or pay and actually pays any such withholding or other taxes, such Partner shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have received a payment from the Partnership as of the time such withholding or other tax is required to be paid notwithstanding the actual date of payment, which payment shall be deemed to be a distribution made pursuant to Section 6.1 with respect to such Partner’s interest in the Partnership. To the extent that such deemed distribution to such Partner (or any successor to such Partner) for any Tax Period exceeds the distributions that such Partner would have received for such period but for such withholding, such excess shall be treated as an interest-free advance to such Partner. Amounts so treated as advanced to any Partner shall be repaid by such Partner to the Partnership within thirty (30) days after the Partnership delivers a written

request to such Partner for such repayment; provided, however, that if any such repayment is not made, the Partnership may (without prejudice to any other rights of the Partnership) collect such unpaid amounts from any subsequent Partnership distributions that otherwise would be made to such Partner.

(b) If the Partnership makes a distribution in kind (if such distribution is permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) and such distribution is subject to withholding or other taxes payable by the Partnership on behalf of any Partner (the “Withheld Amount”), the General Partner shall notify such Partner as to the extent (if any) of the Withheld Amount and such Partner shall make a prompt payment to the Partnership of the Withheld Amount by wire transfer (it being understood that, notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Partnership shall refrain from distributing such property to be distributed having a Fair Market Value of at least the Withheld Amount until the Partnership has received a payment of such Withheld Amount).

(c)Any withholding referred to in this Section 6.3 shall be made at the maximum applicable statutory rate under the applicable tax law unless the General Partner shall have received an opinion of counsel or other evidence, satisfactory to the General Partner, to the effect that a lower rate is applicable, or that no withholding is applicable.

(d) If the Partnership receives a distribution from or in respect of which tax has been withheld, the Partnership shall be treated as having received cash in an amount equal to the amount of such withheld tax, and each Partner shall be treated as having received as a distribution the portion of such amount that is attributable to such Partner.

6.4 Limitation on Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Partnership, and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, shall not be required to make a distribution to any Partner on account of its interest in the Partnership if such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable law.

ARTICLE VII

ALLOCATIONS; TAX AND ACCOUNTING MATTERS

7.1 General Application. The rules set forth below in this Article VII shall apply for the purposes of determining each Partner’s general allocable share of the items of income, gain, loss or expense of the Partnership comprising Profit or Loss of the Partnership for each Fiscal Year, determining special allocations of other items of income, gain, loss and expense, and adjusting the balance of each Partner’s Capital Account to reflect the aforementioned general and special allocations. For each Fiscal Year, the special allocations in Section 7.3 shall be made immediately prior to the general allocations of Section 7.2.

7.2 General Allocations.

(a) Hypothetical Liquidation. The items of income, expense, gain and loss of the Partnership comprising Profit or Loss for a Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Persons who were Partners during such Fiscal Year in a manner that will, as nearly as possible,

cause the Capital Account balance of each Partner at the end of such Fiscal Year to equal the excess (which may be negative) of:

(i) the hypothetical distribution (if any) that such Partner would receive if, on the last day of the Fiscal Year, (x) all Partnership assets, including cash, were sold for cash equal to their Gross Asset Values (determined, for the avoidance of doubt, without adjustment for the hypothetical liquidation described in this paragraph (i)), taking into account any adjustments thereto for such Fiscal Year, (y) all Partnership liabilities were satisfied in cash according to their terms (limited, with respect to each nonrecourse liability, to the Gross Asset Value of the assets securing such liability), and (z) the net proceeds thereof (after satisfaction of such liabilities) were distributed in full pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, over

(ii) the sum of (x) the amount, if any, which such Partner would be obligated to contribute to the capital of the Partnership, (y) such Partner’s share of the Partnership Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(g), and (z) such Partner’s share of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), all computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale described in Section 7.2(a)(i) hereof.

(b) Determination of Items Comprising Allocations.

(i) In the event that the Partnership has Profit for a Fiscal Year,

(1) for any Partner as to whom the allocation pursuant to Section 7.2(a) hereof would reduce its Capital Account, such allocation shall be comprised of a proportionate share of each of the Partnership’s items of expense or loss entering into the computation of Profit for such Fiscal Year; and

(2) the allocation pursuant to Section 7.2(a) hereof in respect of each Partner (other than a Partner referred to in Section 7.2(b)(i)(1) hereof) shall be comprised of a proportionate share of each Partnership item of income, gain, expense and loss entering into the computation of Profit for such Fiscal Year (other than the portion of each Partnership item of expense and loss, if any, that is allocated pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(i)(1) hereof).

(ii) In the event that the Partnership has a Loss for a Fiscal Year,

(1) for any Partner as to whom the allocation pursuant to Section 7.2(a) hereof would increase its Capital Account, such allocation shall be comprised of a proportionate share of the Partnership’s items of income and gain entering into the computation of Profit for such Fiscal Year; and

(2) the allocation pursuant to Section 7.2(a) hereof in respect of each Partner (other than a Partner referred to in Section 7.2(b)(ii)(1) hereof) shall be comprised of a proportionate share of each Partnership item of income, gain, expense and loss entering into the computation of Profit for such Fiscal Year (other than the portion of each Partnership item of income and gain, if any, that is allocated pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(ii)(1) hereof).

(c) Loss Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.2, the amount of items of Partnership expense and loss allocated pursuant to this Section 7.2 to any Partner shall not exceed the maximum amount of such items that can be so allocated without causing such Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year, unless each Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. All such items in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 7.2(c) shall be allocated first to Partners who would not have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, pro rata, in proportion to their Capital Account balances, adjusted as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) of the definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, until no Partner would be entitled to any further allocation, and thereafter, to all Partners, pro rata, in proportion to their Percentage Interests. No Partner shall have any obligation under this Agreement to restore any Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.

7.3 Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the order required by the Code and the Regulations:

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. In the event that there is a net decrease during a Fiscal Year in either Partnership Minimum Gain or Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VII, each Partner shall receive such special allocations of items of Partnership income and gain as are required in order to conform to Regulation Section 1.704-2.

(b) Qualified Income Offset. Subject to Section 7.3(a) hereof, but notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VII, items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner that complies with the “qualified income offset” requirement of Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3).

(c) Deficit Capital Accounts Generally. In the event that a Partner has a deficit Capital Account balance at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Partner is then obligated to restore pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Partner is then deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), respectively, such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in an amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that any allocation under this Section 7.3(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that a Partner would have a deficit Capital Account balance in excess of such sum after all allocations provided for in this Article VII have been tentatively made as if this Section 7.3(c) were not in this Agreement.

(d) Deductions Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt. Any item of Partnership loss or expense that is attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt shall be specially allocated to the Partners in the manner in which they share the economic risk of loss (as defined in Regulation Section 1.752-2) for such Partner Nonrecourse Debt.

(e) Allocation of Nonrecourse Deductions. Each Nonrecourse Deduction of the Partnership shall be specially allocated to all of the Partners in proportion to their Capital Contributions.

(f) Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations.

(g) Allocations Subsequent to Assignment. To the extent permitted by the Code, Profits or Losses and other items attributable to a Partnership Unit acquired by reason of an assignment from a Partner shall be allocated or adjusted between the assignor or the assignee based upon an interim closing of the Partnership’s books.

(h) The allocations pursuant to Sections 7.3(a), 7.3(b), 7.3(c), 7.3(d), 7.3(e), 7.3(f) and 7.3(g) shall be comprised of a proportionate share of each of the Partnership’s items of income or gain. The amounts of any Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction available to be specially allocated pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be determined by applying rules analogous to those set forth in the definitions of Profit and Loss.

(i) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 7.3(a), 7.3(b), 7.3(c), 7.3(d), 7.3(e), and 7.3(f) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Partners so that, to the extent possible, the cumulative net amount for the allocations of Partnership items under this Article VII shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated had the Regulatory Allocations not occurred. This Section 7.3(i) is intended to minimize to the extent possible and to the extent necessary any economic distortions which may result from application of the Regulatory Allocations and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with this intention.

7.4 Allocation of Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of determining each Partner’s share of nonrecourse liabilities, if any, of the Partnership in accordance with Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Partners’ interests in Partnership Profits shall be determined in the same manner as prescribed by Section 7.3(e) hereof.

7.5 Transfer of Units. In the event of a Transfer of all or part of a Partnership Unit (in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) at any time other than the end of a Fiscal Year, the shares of items of Partnership net income or net loss and specially allocated items allocable to the Transferred Partnership Unit shall be allocated between the assignor and the assignee in a manner determined by the General Partner, in its sole discretion, that is not inconsistent with the applicable provisions of the Code and Regulations.

7.6 Tax Allocations.

(a) Section 704(b) Allocations.

(i) Each item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit for Federal income tax purposes that corresponds to an item of income, gain, loss or expense that is either taken into account in computing Profit or Loss or is specially allocated pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof (a “Book Item”) shall be allocated among the Partners in the same proportion as the corresponding Book Item is allocated among them pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3 hereof.

(ii) If the Partnership recognizes Depreciation Recapture (as defined below) in respect of the sale of any Partnership asset,

(1) the portion of the gain on such sale which is allocated to a Partner pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3 hereof shall be treated as consisting of a portion of the Partnership’s Depreciation Recapture on the sale and a portion of the balance of the Partnership’s remaining gain on such sale under principles consistent with Regulations Section 1.1245-1; and

(2) if, for Federal income tax purposes, the Partnership recognizes both “unrecaptured Section 1250 gain” (as defined in Code Section 1(h)) and gain treated as ordinary income under Code Section 1250(a) in respect of such sale, the amount treated as Depreciation Recapture under Section 7.6(a)(ii)(1) shall be comprised of a proportionate share of both such types of gain.

(iii) “Depreciation Recapture” means the portion of any gain from the disposition of an asset of the Partnership which, for Federal income tax purposes (a) is treated as ordinary income under Code Section 1245; (b) is treated as ordinary income under Code Section 1250; or (c) is “unrecaptured Section 1250 gain” as such term is defined in Code Section 1(h).

(b) Section 704(c) Allocations. In the event any property of the Partnership is credited to the Capital Account of a Partner at a value other than its tax basis (whether as a result of a contribution of such property or a revaluation of such property pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value”), then allocations of taxable income, gain, loss and deductions with respect to such property shall be made in a manner which will comply with Code Sections 704(b) and 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. The Partnership, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, may make, or not make, “curative” or “remedial” allocations (within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704(c)) including, but not limited to:

(i) “curative” allocations which offset the effect of the “ceiling rule” for a prior Fiscal Year (within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-3(c)(3)(ii)); and

(ii) “curative” allocations from dispositions of contributed property (within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-3(c)(3)(iii)(B)).

(c) Tax Items Allocable to Particular Partners. If the Partnership is required to recognize income, gain, deduction or loss for tax purposes that is attributable to a particular Partner, such items shall be allocated to such Partner.

(d) Credits. All tax credits shall be allocated among the Partners as determined by the General Partner, in its sole discretion, consistent with applicable law.

The tax allocations made pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall be solely for tax purposes and shall not affect any Partner’s Capital Account or share of non-tax allocations or distributions under this Agreement.

7.7 Books of Account. At all times during the continuance of the Partnership, the Partnership shall maintain or cause to be maintained books of account that are complete and correct in all material respects, wherein shall be entered particulars of all monies, goods or effects belonging to or owing to or by the Partnership, or paid, received, sold or purchased in the course of the Partnership’s business, and all of such other transactions, matters and things relating to the business of the Partnership as are usually entered in books of account kept by Persons engaged in a business of a like kind and character. In addition, the Partnership shall keep all records as required to be kept pursuant to the Act.

7.8 Tax Elections and Returns. All elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership under any applicable tax law shall be made by the General Partner in its sole discretion. The General Partner shall prepare the appropriate Federal, state, local and non-U.S. income tax returns of the Partnership and shall endeavor to furnish the appropriate informational tax returns for each Partner (or a reasonable estimate thereof) no later than March 31 of each year.

7.9 Tax Matters Partner. The General Partner is hereby designated as the Tax Matters Partner within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code for the Partnership.

ARTICLE VIII

TRANSFER OF PARTNERSHIP UNITS

8.1 Transfers of General Partner Units. The General Partner may only Transfer any of the General Partner Units (A) to any Affiliate, or (B) in connection with a Change in Control (as defined in the Parent LP Agreement); provided that (i) such transferee executes a counterpart to this Agreement where it agrees to become the General Partner hereunder, and (ii) such Transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable securities laws and otherwise in compliance with the terms of Section 8.2(g).

8.2 Transfers by Limited Partners.

(a) Subject to any restrictions on transferability by operation of law or contained elsewhere in this Agreement, and any other requirement of law imposed on the Partnership or the Limited Partners, no Limited Partner shall Transfer, or enter into any Swap Transaction with respect to, any portion of its Partnership Units, without the prior written consent of the General Partner (which may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole discretion; provided, that if such Transfer or Swap Transaction is from a Limited Partner to its Affiliate or a Permitted Transferee, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that, (x) subject to the requirements set forth in Section 8.2(b) to (g) below, such consent of the General Partner shall not be required with respect to a Transfer by a Limited Partner of Partnership Units (i) to the Partnership, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries or (ii) pursuant to and in conformity with Section 9.2 hereof, and (y) the failure of the General Partner to respond within fifteen (15) Business Days of such a request made in

writing shall constitute such consent of the General Partner; provided, further that notwithstanding the foregoing, such failure to respond within such time period shall not be deemed to be the General Partner’s consent to any Transfer to a Competitor.

(b) Each Limited Partner agrees that it will not Transfer, or enter into any Swap Transaction with respect to, Partnership Units prior to delivery to the Partnership of evidence in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Partnership including, if required by the General Partner, an opinion of counsel, to the effect that such Transfer or Swap Transaction will be in compliance with the Securities Act and any applicable state or other securities laws.

(c) Each Limited Partner agrees, upon the reasonable request of the General Partner, to execute such certificates or other documents and perform such acts as the Partnership deems appropriate to preserve the status of the Partnership as a limited partnership after the completion of any Transfer of Partnership Units of such Limited Partner under the laws of any jurisdiction that is applicable to such Transfer. For purposes of this Section 8.2(c), any Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units, whether voluntary or by operation of law, shall be considered a Transfer.

(d) Any Limited Partner making a Transfer or entering into a Swap Transaction permitted hereunder shall be required to pay any and all filing and recording fees, fees of counsel and accountants and other costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership as a result of such Transfer or such Swap Transaction.

(e) No Transfer or Swap Transaction by a Limited Partner permitted hereunder shall relieve the transferring Limited Partner of any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement arising prior to or in connection with consummation of such Transfer or Swap Transaction.

(f) In connection with each Transfer or Swap Transaction permitted hereunder, the Limited Partner making the Transfer or entering into a Swap Transaction and the transferee shall deliver to the Partnership such other documents and instruments as the Partnership reasonably may request to confirm that such Transfer or Swap Transaction is in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Transfer shall be permitted (i) if such Transfer is in violation, or could be deemed to be in violation, of applicable securities, ERISA, antitrust or other laws, (ii) if such Transfer could require any licensing, regulatory consent, registration or other significant regulatory proceeding, (iii) if such Transfer could have the effect of causing the Partnership, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries (or any successors thereof) to become a publicly traded partnership (within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code), (iv) if the General Partner determines that such Transfer would reasonably be expected to have an adverse regulatory impact on Partnership, the General Partner, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates or (v) if such Transfer is to a Competitor.

(h) Any transferee of any Securities of any Other Partner shall have all the rights and be bound by all of the obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the irrevocable proxy contained in Section 14.14 hereof, of such Other Partner, except that no such transferee, other than a transferee who is an Affiliate of such Other Partner, shall have any rights under Section 9.5.

8.3 Distributions Subsequent to Transfer. A Transfer of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Units shall be effective on the first day of the month following the day on which the requirements of Section 8.2 hereof are satisfied, or at such earlier time as the General Partner determines. Distributions made after the effective date of the Transfer shall be made to the assignee.

8.4 Satisfactory Written Transfer Required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Partnership and the General Partner shall be entitled to treat the assignor of Partnership Units or rights attributable to the Partnership Units or any Limited Partner as the absolute owner thereof in all respects, and shall incur no liability for distributions made in good faith to it, until such time as a written Transfer that conforms to the requirements of this Article VIII has been received by and recorded on the books of the Partnership.

Any purported sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance by any Partner (including any assignee thereof) of any interest in the Partnership not made strictly in accordance with the provisions of this Article VIII shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be entirely null and void ab initio.

A Person acquiring an interest in the Partnership in connection with a Transfer permitted by this Article VIII may be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner of the Partnership with the consent of the General Partner and upon such Person’s execution of an instrument evidencing such Person’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement. Any Partner admitted to the Partnership subsequent to a Transfer pursuant to this Article VIII shall succeed to all the rights and be subject to all the obligations of the transferring Partner hereunder in respect of the interest as to which it was substituted. The terms “Limited Partner,” “Limited Partners,” “General Partner” and “Partners” used in this Agreement, shall be deemed to apply to and include each substituted and additional Partner admitted to the Partnership pursuant to this Article VIII.

ARTICLE IX

ADDITIONAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF

SECURITYHOLDERS AND THE PARTNERSHIP

9.1 Obligation to Sell Securities. If and to the extent a Drag-Along Sale or an Approved Sale is effected pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Parent LP Agreement, the Partnership shall have all right, power and authority to repurchase or redeem the Partnership Units in accordance with applicable law. All Partnership Units so repurchased or redeemed by the Partnership shall be deemed cancelled, whereupon the Partnership shall have no further obligations with respect thereto.

9.2 Rights of Inclusion.

(a) If the Partnership has a Tag-Along Right, upon receipt of a Transfer Notice, the Partnership shall promptly provide the Other Partners holding Common Units with a copy of such Transfer Notice.

(b) Each of the Other Partners shall have a right (“Resale Right”) to sell (the “Investor Tag Sale”) its Common Units to the Partnership (the “Tag Securities”) in an amount equal to (i) the number of Parent Partnership Units permitted to be Transferred by the Partnership under the Tag-Along Right multiplied by (ii) a fraction equal to (x) the number of outstanding Tag Securities owned by such Other Partner over (y) the number of outstanding Tag Securities owned by all of the Other Partners; provided, that to the extent that any Other Partner does not elect to Transfer all or a part of its Tag Securities, the remaining Other Partners holding Tag Securities shall have the right to Transfer such amount of their respective Tag Securities equal to their respective pro rata shares of such non-Transferred Tag Securities, based upon the amount of outstanding Tag Securities owned by such Other Partner relative to the outstanding Tag Securities owned by all of such remaining Other Partners. To the extent that any Other Partner elects to sell any Tag Securities pursuant to an Investor Tag Sale, such Other Partner shall sell such Tag Securities to the Partnership which shall sell a corresponding number of Parent Partnership Units to the Parent, whereupon such Other Partner shall receive consideration for its Tag Securities equal to such Other Partner’s pro rata share of any consideration received by the Partnership from Parent pursuant to the Investor Tag Sale (the “Tag Consideration”). Concurrently with the payment of such Tag Consideration, the applicable Tag Securities purchased by the Partnership shall be deemed cancelled, whereupon the Partnership shall have no further obligations with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Other Partner’s receipt of the Tag Consideration is subject to the terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Sale as provided in the Parent LP Agreement.

(c) Each Other Partner who has a Resale Right shall provide written notice to the Partnership within five (5) days of the receipt of the Transfer Notice, and any Other Partner who fails to provide such notice within such time period shall be deemed not to have exercised its Resale Right, and the Partnership shall deliver a notice to the Parent of its exercise of the “Tag-Along Right” (as defined in the Parent LP Agreement) within the time periods required in the Parent LP Agreement to permit its exercise of the “Tag Along Rights” thereunder.

9.3 Related Matters. The rights and obligations of the Other Partners in connection with a Resale Right are subject to the following additional conditions:

(a) Concurrently with the consummation of a Resale Right, the General Partner shall give notice thereof to the Partnership who shall promptly give such notice to the Other Partners. The Partnership shall remit the applicable consideration directly to each applicable Other Partner as provided in Section 9.2 and furnish such other evidence of the completion and time of completion of such Transfer and the terms thereof as may be reasonably requested by such Other Partner.

(b) Each Other Partner participating in a Resale Right shall make representations and warranties as to its title to the Tag Securities being sold and its power, authority, and right to enter into the pertinent transaction without contravention of law or

contract. Upon the request of the General Partner, in connection with any Resale Right, each Other Partner shall execute a customary contribution agreement regarding the obligations pursuant to such sale.

(c) If any Other Partner fails to deliver certificates, if any, representing its Tag Securities in connection with a Resale Right, such Other Partner (i) shall not be entitled to the consideration that such Other Partner would otherwise have received in the Resale Right, until such Other Partner cures such failure (provided, that, after curing such failure, such Other Partner shall not be entitled to any interest on such consideration), (ii) shall be deemed, for all purposes, no longer to be a limited partner of the Partnership or Parent with respect to the Tag Securities not so delivered and shall have no voting rights with respect to the Tag Securities not so delivered, (iii) shall not be entitled to any distributions declared after the Resale Right, with respect to the Tag Securities not so delivered, (iv) shall have no other rights or privileges granted to limited partners of the Partnership or Parent under this or any future agreement with respect to the Tag Securities not so delivered and (v) in the event of a liquidation of the Partnership or Parent, such Other Partner’s rights with respect to any consideration that such holder would have received with respect to the Tag Securities not so delivered if such holder had complied with this provision, if any, shall be subordinate to the rights of all other limited partners of the Partnership or Parent; provided, that if any such certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed and the Other Partner owning such certificate delivers in connection with such Resale Right, in lieu of such certificate, an agreement of indemnity or a bond satisfactory to the General Partner in its sole discretion, with sufficient surety, to indemnify the Partnership and each transfer agent and registrar agent, if any, against any and all losses and claims that may arise as a result of the issuance of a new certificate in place of the one so lost, stolen or destroyed, then such certificate shall not be deemed to be “failed to be delivered” for purposes of this Section 9.3(c).

9.4 Right of First Offer.

(a) If any Other Partner desires to Transfer, directly or indirectly, and whether or not due to the receipt by such Other Partner of an offer to purchase Partnership Units from a third party, all or any portion of its Partnership Units, other than to a Permitted Transferee or in a Public Transfer (any such Other Partner desiring to make any such Transfer is referred to herein as an “Offeror,” and the Partnership Units which the Offeror seeks to Transfer are referred to herein as the “Offered Units”) then, in each case, the Offeror shall first, before making or accepting any offer to Transfer such Units, comply with Section 9.4(b) below; provided that this Section 9.4 shall not apply to Transfers made pursuant to and in conformity with Sections 9.1 or 9.2 hereof or to Transfers to Affiliates made in accordance with Section 8.2. Such Transfer shall also be subject to the provisions of Section 8.2 and nothing set forth herein is intended to modify the restrictions set forth therein.

(b) The Offeror shall give written notice (the “Offering Notice”) to the “Common Partners” (as defined in the Parent LP Agreement) who are also “Participating Common Partners” (as defined in the Parent LP Agreement) (the “Parent Common Partners”) and the Parent, which Offering Notice shall state (i) that the Offeror desires to Transfer such Offered Units and (ii) the minimum sale price (the “Offer Price”) for such Partnership Units and the other material terms and conditions of such proposed Transfer. Each Offering Notice

shall constitute an irrevocable offer until the end of the Parent ROFO Period by the Offeror to such Parent Common Partners and the Parent to Transfer the Offered Units at the Offer Price in cash, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.4.

(c) The Parent Common Partners, the Centre Partners Entities and the Parent shall have the right (the “Right of First Offer”) collectively to purchase some or all of the Offered Units, at the Offer Price in cash. Within 15 days of receipt of an Offering Notice (the “Centre ROFO Period”), the Centre Partners Entities may exercise this Right of First Offer by delivering a notice to the Offeror, the Parent Common Partners and the Parent (a “Centre ROFO Notice”) stating that the Centre Partners Entities elect to purchase some or all of the Offered Units, as applicable. In connection with an exercise by the Centre Partners Entities hereunder, each Parent Common Partner shall have the right to purchase an amount of such Offered Units equal to (i) the total number of such Offered Units multiplied by (ii) a fraction equal to (x) the number of outstanding “Participating Common Units” (as defined in the Parent LP Agreement) owned by such Parent Common Partner over (y) the number of such outstanding Participating Common Units owned by all of the Parent Common Partners. The Centre Partners Entities shall have the right to purchase any of the Offered Units subject to the Centre ROFO Notice not purchased by the Parent Common Partners. The Parent shall have the right to exercise the Right of First Offer for 15 days following the Centre ROFO Period (the “Parent ROFO Period”) by delivering a notice to the Offeror (a “Parent ROFO Notice”) stating that the Parent elects to purchase all or some of the Offered Units not purchased by the Centre Partners Entities and the other Parent Common Partners, collectively. Delivery of a Centre ROFO Notice and/or Parent ROFO Notice shall constitute a contract between the Offeror and the Parent and/or the Centre Partners Entities, as the case may be, for the sale and purchase of the Offered Units at the Offer Price in cash and upon the other applicable terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Notice. Failure of the Centre Partners Entities to exercise such right within the Centre ROFO Period and/or the Parent to exercise such right within the required time periods set forth in this Section 9.4(c) shall be regarded as a waiver of such rights.

(d) Subject to Section 8.2, if the Centre Partners Entities and/or the Parent do not elect to purchase any of the Offered Units within the required time periods set forth in Section 9.4(c), the Offeror may, within 90 days of the expiration of the Parent ROFO Period, Transfer (or enter into a definitive agreement to Transfer) such Offered Units which the Centre Partners Entities and/or the Parent have not elected to purchase, to one or more Persons at a price no lower than the Offer Price and on terms no more favorable to the purchaser than those contained in the Offering Notice.

(e) The closing of any purchase of the Offered Units by the Parent and/or the Centre Partners Entities, as the case may be, shall be held at the principal office of the Parent at 11:00 A.M. local time on a Business Day chosen by it (upon at least five days notice to the other parties to the transaction), which date shall be no later than the scheduled closing date provided for in the Offering Notice; provided that such closing may be held at such other time and place as the parties to the transaction may agree. At such closing the Offeror shall deliver such instruments, executed by it and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parent or the Centre Partners Entities, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to transfer, assign and convey the Offered Units to the Parent or the Centre Partners Entities, as the case may be, which shall be transferred free and clear of all Liens or other encumbrances, against payment of the purchase price therefor.

(f) In the event that the Centre Partners Entities exercise their Right of First Offer, the Centre Partners Entities may designate one or more of their Affiliates or Permitted Transferees or any other Partner as the purchaser(s) of all or part of the Offered Units in any transaction hereunder.

(g) To the extent the Parent Common Partners and/or Parent purchase, pursuant to this Section 9.4, any of the Partnership Units (the “ROFO Securities”) from the Other Partner owning such ROFO Securities, the Partnership shall purchase all such ROFO Securities held by such Other Partner who shall transfer such ROFO Securities to the Partnership, and the Parent Common Partners or Parent, as the case may be, shall purchase all Parent Partnership Units held by the Partnership relating to such ROFO Securities at the prices described in this Section 9.4. In such case, Parent or the Parent Common Partners (as applicable), on the Partnership’s behalf and in lieu of paying any amount due to the Partnership pursuant to Section 9.4 of the Parent LP Agreement (for further payment by the Partnership to the applicable Other Partner), shall pay the amounts owed with respect to a repurchase to such Other Partner pursuant to this Section 9.4 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified in advance by such Other Partner, whereupon the Partnership shall have no further obligations with respect thereto. All ROFO Securities purchased by the Partnership shall be deemed cancelled.

(h) If the Partnership shall receive an Offering Notice (as defined in the Parent LP Agreement) under the Parent LP Agreement (a “Parent LP Offering Notice”), the Partnership shall promptly provide the Parent LP Offering Notice to each of the Other Partners other than those Other Partners who are, or whose Individual Partners are, former employees of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (“Non-Former Employee Holders”). Each Non-Former Employee Holder shall have the right to purchase the Offered Units (as defined in the Parent LP Agreement) (the “Parent LP Offered Units”) in an amount equal to (i) the total number of such Parent LP Offered Units multiplied by (ii) a fraction equal to (x) the number of outstanding Common Units owned by such Non-Former Employee Holder over (y) the number of outstanding Common Units owned by all of the Non-Former Employee Holders. Each Non-Former Employee Holder shall provide written notice to the Partnership within ten (10) days of the receipt of the Parent LP Offering Notice, and any Non-Former Employee Holder who fails to provide such notice within such time period shall be deemed not to have elected to purchase any Parent LP Offered Units. The Partnership shall elect to exercise its Right of First Offer (as defined in the Parent LP Agreement) under the Parent LP Agreement to acquire such number of Parent LP Offered Units that the Non-Former Employee Holders have elected to purchase pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by notifying the Centre Partners Entities pursuant to the time frames set forth in the Parent LP Agreement and the Partnership shall, using the proceeds from such Non-Former Employee Holders, purchase all of the Parent LP Offered Units (and such Non-Former Employee Holders shall deliver such proceeds to the Partnership in exchange for the issuance of Common Units by the Partnership). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the General Partner reasonably determines that the offering of any securities to a Non-Former Employee Holder will require the Parent or the Partnership to prepare a prospectus or similar offering document in order for such offering to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, the General Partner shall have the right in its sole discretion to exclude such Non-Former Employee Holder from such offering.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to contrary herein, Parent and each of the Centre Party Entities shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

9.5 Preemptive Rights. If, at any time prior to termination of the Parent LP Agreement, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall propose to issue or sell any “Debt or Equity Securities” (as defined in the Parent LP Agreement) to any Centre Preemptive Party pursuant to Section 9.5(b) of the Parent LP Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth therein (“Preemptive Sale”), upon the Partnership receiving the notice required pursuant to Section 9.5 of the Parent LP Agreement (the “Preemptive Sale Notice”), the Partnership shall, no later than three (3) days after receiving the Preemptive Sale Notice, provide a copy of such Preemptive Sale Notice to each of the Other Partners other than those Other Partners who are, or whose related Individual Partners are, former employees of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (“Right Holders”). Each Right Holder shall have the right (“Preemptive Sale Right”) to purchase such series or class of debt or equity securities from the Partnership, having such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers and duties as shall be determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion to give such Right Holder substantially similar rights to the other holders of such “Debt or Equity Securities,” in an amount equal to (i) the total number of such securities issued by the Partnership multiplied by (ii) a fraction equal to (x) the number of outstanding Common Units owned by such Right Holder over (y) the number of outstanding Common Units owned by all of the Right Holders. A Right Holder shall exercise such Preemptive Sale Right by delivering written notice of such exercise to the Partnership no later than five (5) days after receiving the Preemptive Sale Notice. The Partnership shall deliver a Preemptive Response Notice (as defined in the Parent LP Agreement) to the Parent within the time periods required under the Parent LP Agreement with respect to any securities to be purchased by the Right Holders who provide timely written notice of their Preemptive Sale Rights to the Partnership within such five-day period. For the avoidance of doubt, the General Partner shall update Schedule I, to the extent necessary, following the exercise of the Preemptive Sale Rights by one or more of the Right Holders. The Partnership shall, using the proceeds from the Right Holders (and such Right Holders shall deliver such proceeds to the Partnership in exchange for the issuance of Common Units by the Partnership), purchase an amount of such “Debt or Equity Securities” equal to (A) the total amount of such “Debt or Equity Securities” offered to be sold to the Partnership pursuant to the Preemptive Sale multiplied by (B) a fraction equal to (x) the number of outstanding Common Units owned by all of the Right Holders exercising their rights pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence over (y) the number of outstanding Common Units owned by all of the Right Holders. Such Preemptive Sale Right shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Preemptive Sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the General Partner reasonably determines that the offering of any debt or equity securities to a Right Holder or Right Holders will require the Parent or the Partnership to prepare a prospectus or similar offering document in order for such offering to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and such requirement would not apply but for the inclusion of the particular Right Holder or Right Holders in such offering, the General Partner shall have the right in its sole discretion to exclude such Right Holder(s) from such offering.

9.6 Call Right.

(a) [Reserved]

(b) Upon the death of any Individual Partner (other than an Individual Partner who has been employed by the Parent or any of its Affiliates and whose employment is Terminated due to death and is covered by Section 9.6(a)(i)(C)(y) of the Parent LP Agreement), at any time within ninety (90) days after becoming aware of such Individual Partner’s death (the “Individual Notice Period”), (x) first, the Parent, (y) to the extent that the Parent chooses not to, then second, BB Management Invest L.P. and (z) to the extent that BB Management Invest L.P. chooses not to, then third, the Centre Partners Entities, may purchase all of the Partnership Units held by such Individual Partner (the “Individual Call Units”) at a purchase price per unit equal to the Fair Market Value of such Partnership Units as of the date of the exercise of such right (the “Individual Call Right”). To exercise such Individual Call Right, the Parent must give written notice thereof to such Individual Partner’s estate (the “Individual Call Notice”). The Individual Call Notice is irrevocable and must set forth the Parent’s intent to exercise the Individual Call Right, contain the total number of Individual Call Units to be sold pursuant to the Individual Call Right, and be mailed or delivered during the Individual Notice Period. The closing of any repurchase under this Section 9.6(b) shall occur on the date to be specified by the Parent, such date to be no later than 90 days after the date of the Individual Call Notice. No adjustments shall be made to the purchase price for fluctuations in the Fair Market Value of the Individual Call Units after the date of the Individual Call Notice. If the Parent elects not to exercise the Individual Call Right, it shall notify BB Management Invest L.P. within twenty days prior to the expiration of the Individual Notice Period, and BB Management Invest L.P. may exercise the Individual Call Right pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.6(b) as if it were the Parent. If BB Management Invest L.P. elects not to exercise the Individual Call Right, it shall notify the Centre Partners Entities within ten days prior to the expiration of the Individual Notice Period, and the Centre Partners Entities may exercise the Individual Call Right pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.6(b) as if it were the Parent. In connection with an exercise by the Centre Partners Entities hereunder, each Participating Common Partner (as defined in the Parent LP Agreement) shall have the right to purchase an amount of such Individual Call Units equal to (i) the total number of such Individual Call Units multiplied by (ii) a fraction equal to (x) the number of outstanding Participating Common Units (as defined in the Parent LP Agreement) owned by such Participating Common Partner over (y) the number of outstanding Participating Common Units owned by all of the Participating Common Partners; provided that the terms and provisions of Section 9.6(d) shall apply to such transaction, and the Partnership shall comply with the obligations set forth in Section 9.6(d), as if the Partnership shall been notified by the Centre Partners Entities pursuant to Section 9.6(a)(iii) of the Parent LP Agreement that the Centre Partners Entities elect to exercise their Call Right (as defined in the Parent LP Agreement) under the Parent LP Agreement. The Centre Partners Entities shall have the right to purchase any of the Individual Call Units not purchased by the Participating Common Partners.

(d) If the Partnership is notified by the Centre Partners Entities pursuant to Section 9.6(a)(iii) of the Parent LP Agreement that the Centre Partners Entities elect to exercise their Call Right (as defined in the Parent LP Agreement) under the Parent LP Agreement (a “Centre Call Right”), the Partnership shall promptly notify each of the Non-Former Employee Holders. Each Non-Former Employee Holder shall have the right to purchase the Call Units (as defined in the Parent LP Agreement) in an amount equal to (i) the total number of such Call Units permitted to be purchased by the Partnership pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Section 9.6(a)(iii) of the Parent LLP Agreement (the “Centre Call Units”) multiplied by (ii) a fraction equal to (x) the number of outstanding Common Units owned by such Non-Former Employee Holder over (y) the number of outstanding Common Units owned by all of the Non-Former Employee Holders; provided, that to the extent that any Non-Former Employee Holder does not elect to purchase its portion of the Centre Call Units, the remaining Non-Former Employee Holders shall have the right to purchase such amount of Centre Call Units equal to their respective pro rata shares, based upon the amount of outstanding Common Units owned by such Non-Former Employee Holder relative to the outstanding Common Units owned by all of such remaining Non-Former Employee Holders. Each Non-Former Employee Holder shall provide written notice to the Partnership within ten (10) days of the receipt of such notice from the Partnership, and any Non-Former Employee Holder who fails to provide such notice shall be deemed not to have elected to purchase any Centre Call Units. The Partnership shall deliver a written notice (a “Centre Call Notice”) on such tenth (10) day and the Partnership shall, using the proceeds from the Non-Former Employee Holders, purchase the portion of the Centre Call Units elected to be purchased by the Non-Former Employee Holders (and such Non-Former Employee Holders shall deliver such proceeds to the Partnership in exchange for the issuance of Common Units by the Partnership). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the General Partner reasonably determines that the offering of any securities to a Non-Former Employee Holder will require the Parent or the Partnership to prepare a prospectus or similar offering document in order for such offering to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, the General Partner shall have the right in its sole discretion to exclude such Non-Former Employee Holder from such offering.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to contrary herein, Parent and each of the Centre Party Entities shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

9.7 Anti-dilution Protection Issuance. If the Parent issues any Class A Common Units of the Parent to the Partnership to give effect to the anti-dilution protection referred to in Schedule I of the Parent LP Agreement, then, immediately following such issuance of Class A Common Units, the Partnership shall issue a corresponding number of Common Units to the Partners owning the Common Units of the Partnership entitled to the corresponding anti-dilution protections referred to in Schedule I hereof.

Subject to the express limitations set forth herein, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that the Partnership and each Partner may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief (without posting a bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent any violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

14.8 Partners Not Agents. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to constitute any Partner the agent of another Partner, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, or in any manner to limit the Partners in the carrying on of their own respective businesses or activities.

14.9 Entire Understanding; Etc. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents together constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the Partners with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior or contemporaneous understandings and/or written or oral agreements among them with respect to the subject matter hereof.

14.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or circumstance, shall be held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid by such court, shall not be affected thereby.

14.11 Construction of Agreement. As used herein, the singular shall be deemed to include the plural, and the plural shall be deemed to include the singular, and all pronouns shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, whenever the context and facts require such construction. The headings, captions, titles and subtitles herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are to be ignored in any construction of the provisions hereof. Except as otherwise indicated herein, all section, schedule and exhibit references in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the sections, schedules and exhibits of and to this Agreement, and the terms “herein”, “hereof”, “hereto”, “hereunder” and similar terms refer to this Agreement generally rather than to the particular provision in which such term is used. Whenever the words “including”, “include” or “includes” are used in this Agreement, they shall be interpreted in a non-exclusive manner as though the words “but not limited to” immediately followed the same. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed simply according to the fair meaning thereof and not strictly against the party which drafted such language. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, references in this Agreement to any agreement, articles, by-laws, instrument or other document are to such agreement, articles, by-laws, instrument or other document as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns. It is the intention of the parties that every covenant, term, and provision of this Agreement shall be construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any party (notwithstanding any rule of law requiring an Agreement to be strictly construed against the drafting party), it being understood that the parties to this Agreement are sophisticated and have had adequate opportunity and means to retain counsel to represent their interests and to otherwise negotiate the provisions of this Agreement. To the extent that any ambiguity or inconsistency arises with respect to any provision(s) of this Agreement, the General Partner shall resolve such ambiguity or inconsistency in good faith and such resolution shall be binding upon the parties hereto. Unless expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, any action, consent, approval, election, decision or determination to be made by the General Partner under or in connection with this Agreement (including any act by the General Partner within its “discretion” under this Agreement and the execution and delivery of any documents or agreements on behalf of any other Person), shall be in the sole discretion of the General Partner.

14.12 Dealings with the Centre Partners Entities. Each Other Partner acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the Centre Partners Entities, their Affiliates and their respective stockholders, directors, managers, officers, controlling Persons, partners (limited or general), members, and employees (collectively, the “Investor Group”) (i) have investments or

Each of the Partnership and the Partners hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claims and rights that such Person may otherwise have in connection with the matters described in this Section 14.12.

14.13 Third Party Beneficiary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each member of the Investor Group shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement. In addition, Parent and each Centre Partners Entity shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce all of its rights hereunder and the rights of the Partnership and the Centre Partners Entities hereunder, and to enforce all of the obligations of the Other Partners hereunder as if the Parent were a party hereto.

14.14 Proxy. In the event that any Limited Partner fails to take any action expressly required by it under this Agreement, such Limited Partner and their related Individual Partners hereby appoints the General Partner, as such Limited Partner’s attorney-in-fact, agent and representative (in such capacity, the “Controlling Person”), with respect to such action to be taken by such Limited Partner set forth in this Agreement, provided that for the avoidance of doubt the parties agree that such proxy shall not extend to any of the actions set forth in Sections 9.2, 9.4, 9.5, 13.1(a) and 14.7. Each such power-of-attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable by any Limited Partner or any related Individual Partner in any manner or for any reason. This authority granted to the Controlling Person shall not be affected by the death, illness, dissolution, disability, incapacity, bankruptcy, insolvency or other inability to act of any Limited Partner pursuant to any applicable law.

14.15 No Rights of Recovery. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, and notwithstanding the fact that the Partnership is a partnership, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, the Limited Partners acknowledge and agree that none of them or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates or equityholders has any right of recovery against, and no personal liability shall attach to, the former, current or future equityholders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates (other than the Partnership and its Subsidiaries), advisors, representatives, members, managers, general or limited partners or assignees of the General Partner or any former, current or future equityholder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, member, manager, Affiliate (other than the Partnership and its Subsidiaries), advisor, representative, agent or assignee of any of the foregoing (collectively, each a “GP Affiliate”), through the Partnership, the General Partner, any other Person or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of the Partnership, the General Partner or any other Person against any GP Affiliate, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable law, or otherwise, and to the extent any of the Limited Partners or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, or equityholders has or obtains any such right of recovery, to the maximum extent permitted by law each of the Limited Partners hereby waives and releases (on its own behalf and on behalf of each of the aforementioned persons) each such right of recovery against the GP Affiliates.
