Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Incentive Units Agreement approved by the Board, the Class B-1 Units initially held by each of the Management Members hereunder shall vest over a period of four (4) years in equal annual installments of 25% each on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant of such Units to such Management Member; provided that the grantee of such Class B-1 Units is then engaged in a Business Relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. In addition, upon the consummation of a Sale of the Company, the vesting of all then unvested Class B-1 Units then held by such Management Member shall accelerate in full; provided that the grantee of such Class B-1 Units is then engaged in a Business Relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. If such Management Member’s Business Relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries terminates (A) for any reason, all Class B-1 Units then held by such Management Member that have not vested as of the date of such termination shall also immediately become null and void and automatically be forfeited and terminated as of such date and (B) by the Company for Cause, all Class B-1 Units then held by such Management Member that have vested as of the date of such termination shall immediately become null and void and automatically be forfeited and terminated as of such date.

For purposes of the foregoing:

(A) “Class B-2 Performance Hurdle” means the receipt by the Partners Group Members, through one or a series of Class B Distribution Events, of an aggregate amount of Class B Proceeds equal to two (2) times the Partners Group Members’ aggregate Class A Contribution Amount and all other capital invested by the Partners Group Members, taking into account all Class B Proceeds received by the Partners Group Members prior to such date of such achievement and after giving effect to any prior or contemporaneous distribution or payment to the holders of Class B Units.

(B) “Class B-3 Performance Hurdle” means the receipt by the Partners Group Members, through one or a series of Class B Distribution Events, of an aggregate amount of Class B Proceeds equal to three (3) times the Partners Group Members’ aggregate Class A Contribution Amount and all other capital invested by the Partners Group Members, taking into account all Class B Proceeds received by the Partners Group Members prior to such date of such achievement and after giving effect to any prior or contemporaneous distribution or payment to the holders of Class B Units.

included in determining whether the Class B-2 Performance Hurdle or Class B-3 Performance Hurdle has been met until such consideration (or any successor consideration that is not cash or cash equivalents) has been converted to cash and received by the Partners Group Members free and clear of any restriction, such additional proceeds shall then be included in determining whether the Class B-2 Performance Hurdle or the Class B-3 Performance Hurdle has been met, whereupon the vesting of the Class B-2 and Class B-3 Units hereunder, whether or not then outstanding, shall be redetermined and upon such redetermination such Class B Proceeds and any other distributions that would have been made to the holders or former holders of such Class B-2 and Class B-3 Units shall be distributed or paid to the Persons entitled thereto in accordance with Section 5.2 by the Company or the Partners Group Members, as the case may be, to the holders or former holders of such Class B-2 and Class B-3 Units as if such Units had been vested upon the closing of such distribution had such additional Class B Proceeds then been paid to such holders, and (ii) in the event that a Class B Distribution Event involves an escrow, indemnification obligations, deferred payments or contingent payments, and upon resolution thereof additional Class B Proceeds are payable to the Partners Group Members, such proceeds shall then be included in determining whether the Class B-2 Performance Hurdle or the Class B-3 Performance Hurdle has been met, whereupon the vesting of the Class B-2 and Class B-3 Units hereunder, whether or not then outstanding, shall be redetermined and upon such redetermination such Class B Proceeds and any other distributions that would have been made to the holders or former holders of such Class B-2 and Class B-3 Units shall be distributed in accordance with Section 5.2 by the Company or the Partners Group Members, as the case may be, to the holders or former holders of such Class B-2 and Class B-3 Units as if such Units had been vested upon the closing of such Class B Distribution Event had such additional proceeds then been paid to such holders. For the avoidance of doubt, following an initial Public Offering of the Company, or any successor, “Class B Proceeds” will include cash received by the Partners Group Members as a result of sales of the securities of the Company or any successor in the public markets.

(ii) Class B Units. Upon (A) the termination of any Management Member’s Business Relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any reason other than termination by the Company or any Subsidiary for Cause (in which case, for the avoidance of doubt, all such Units shall be forfeited), (B) the death or Disability of the Management Member or (C) if such Management Member competes with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries following the expiration of applicable non-compete periods all Class B Units then held by such Management Member that have vested as of the date of such termination shall be subject to repurchase by the

Company at Fair Market Value as of the date of the Company’s notice of repurchase thereof, in each case in accordance with the terms of Section 3.1(d)(iv); provided, however, that following a Public Offering, the provisions of Section 3.1(d)(ii)(C) shall terminate.

(iii) Involuntary Transfer. In the event of an Involuntary Transfer, all Preferred Units and all vested Class B Units shall be subject to repurchase by the Company at lower of (1) the original per Unit price paid by such Member, as applicable, or the per Class A-1 Unit amount of the Class A-1 Catch-Up Amount, as applicable, and (2) the Fair Market Value as of the date of the Company’s notice of repurchase thereof, in each case, in accordance with Section 3.1(d)(iv).

(iv) Process. The Company may exercise its option to repurchase Class A Units, Class A-1 Units, Class C Preferred Units or vested Class B Units under the applicable circumstances described in Section 3.1(d)(i), Section 3.1(d)(ii) and Section 3.1(d)(iii) by delivering written notice of exercise to the holder (or such holder’s estate, legal guardian, successor or assign) thereof, (i) in each case, at any time within 180 days after the date of termination of the relevant Management Member’s Business Relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries, date of Involuntary Transfer, or date of other triggering event, as applicable; provided, however, from and after a Public Offering, the 180 day time period referenced in this sentence shall be extended to seven months and (ii) in the case of Section 3.1(d)(iii), at any time. The notice of exercise shall specify a date on which the repurchase will occur, which date shall not be fewer than ten (10) calendar days, and not more than thirty (30) calendar days, after the notice of exercise is sent. On the date of the repurchase, the Company will deliver the aggregate repurchase price to the holder (or such holder’s estate, legal guardian, successor or assign) calculated as set forth in this Section 3.1(d) and reasonable documentation evidencing the same. For the avoidance of doubt, such repurchase by the Company may be carried out (i) by requiring such holder of Units subject to repurchase (a) to exchange such Units for equity in one or more direct or indirect Subsidiaries (such equity being equal to the Fair Market Value at which Units are being repurchased), and then, (b) to sell such equity received in exchange for the Units to any Subsidiary in the redemption of such equity securities by any such Subsidiary for cash or a Note (as defined herein) or (ii) in any other manner that the Company determines and is not materially adverse to such Management Member.

(v) The repurchase price shall be payable, at the option of the Company, (A) by certified or bank cashier’s check, or by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. funds to an account or accounts designated by the holder (or such holder’s estate, legal guardian, successor or assign) or (B) by a subordinated note, having an interest rate of five (5) percent, a maturity date of no more than three years from issuance, full acceleration on the closing of a Sale of the Company, the closing of a Public Offering or other liquidity event for the Partners Group Members, and other customary covenant and default provisions (the “Note”). In the event that the payment of the repurchase price or the issuance of or payment under the Note would cause a default under, or otherwise be prohibited by, any Indebtedness of the Company, or would otherwise impair the liquidity of the Company in the good faith judgment of the Board, the Company may defer such payment or issuance, but only for so long as is reasonably required to avoid such default or impairment. The Company may assign its repurchase rights to the Partners Group Members. Provided that the Company delivers the aggregate repurchase price for the Units being repurchased on the designated repurchase date (whether or not the holder (or such holder’s estate, legal guardian, successor or assign) accepts the delivered amount) and otherwise exercises the repurchase right in accordance with this Section 3.1(d), the relevant Units shall thereupon be canceled and treated as no longer outstanding for any purpose.

(vi) Following a Public Offering, the provisions of this Section 3.1(d)

(Repurchase Rights) shall terminate (x) with respect to Class A Units and Class A-1 Units, upon the expiration of the Limited Transfer Period and (y) with respect to any Units Transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, upon such Transfer.

(e) Profits Interests.

(i) Class A-1 Units and Class B Units issued hereunder are intended to qualify and shall be treated under this Agreement as “profits interests” within the meaning of Revenue Procedure 93-27, 1993-2 C.B. 343, as clarified by Revenue Procedure 2001-43, 2001-2 C.B. 191. As such, none of the Members issued such Units shall be obligated to make Capital Contributions in respect of any Units so qualifying, the Company shall treat such Members as holding “profits interests” for all purposes of this Agreement in respect of such Units so issued, and if the Company were liquidated immediately after issuance of the Class A-1 Units and Class B Units pursuant to this Agreement, before the Company made any earnings and before any appreciation occurred in the value of the Company’s assets, and the Company’s assets were sold at Fair Market Value and the proceeds distributed in a complete liquidation and dissolution of the Company, the holders of Class A-1 Units and Class B Units would not be entitled to receive any share of the proceeds of such complete liquidation and dissolution in respect of such Units.

(ii) In connection with the issuance of any Class A-1 Units or Class B Units, the Board shall determine a strike price (a “Strike Price”) with respect to each such Unit. The Strike Price for any such Unit generally will be not less than the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Company’s assets (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) reduced by any outstanding Company liabilities (limited, in the case of nonrecourse liabilities, to the collateral securing or otherwise available to satisfy such liabilities) as of the date such Unit is issued and may be increased to take into account any Capital Contributions to the Company that are made after such Unit is issued. For purposes of clarity, each such Unit issued on the same day shall have the same Strike Price. In the event the Board determines to issue additional Units with a Strike Price lower than the Strike Price associated with a prior issuance of Units, the Board may, in its sole discretion, reduce the Strike Price of the Units issued at the higher Strike Price. This Section 3.1(e) reflects the intention that any such Units issued after the date of this Agreement qualify as a “profits interest” under Revenue Procedure 93-27, 1993-2 C.B. 343 and Revenue Procedure 2001-43, 2001-2 C.B. 191, as contemplated by Section 3.1(e)(v) hereof.

(iii) To the extent provided for in Treasury Regulations, revenue rulings, revenue procedures and/or other IRS guidance issued after the date hereof, the Company is hereby authorized to, and at the direction of the Board shall, elect a safe harbor under which the Fair Market Value of any Class A-1 Units or Class B Units issued after the effective date of such Treasury Regulations (or other guidance) will be treated as equal to the liquidation value of such Units (i.e., a value equal to the total amount that would be distributed with respect to such Units if the Company sold all of its assets for their Fair Market Value immediately after the issuance of such Units, satisfied its liabilities (excluding any nonrecourse liabilities to the extent the balance of such liabilities exceeds the Fair Market Value of the assets that secure them) and distributed the net proceeds to the Members under the terms of this Agreement). In the event that the Company makes a safe harbor election as described in the preceding sentence, each Member hereby agrees to comply with all safe harbor requirements with respect to Transfers of such Units while the safe harbor election remains effective.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a forfeiture of any Units by any Member, gross items of income, gain, loss or deduction shall be allocated to such Member if and to the extent required by final Treasury Regulations promulgated after the date hereof to ensure that allocations made with respect to all “substantially nonvested” Interests of Members are recognized under Code Section 704(b).

(v) Each recipient of a Class B Unit hereunder hereby agrees that such recipient shall make a valid and timely election in respect of such Unit, upon receipt thereof, pursuant to Code Section 83(b), and shall provide the Company with an executed copy of such election, except to the extent the Board determines that such Class B Units are not subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Code Section 83(a) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(vi) Allocations of income or loss pursuant to Article 4 shall be made with respect to Class B Units, whether vested or unvested. Any distributions pursuant to Article 5 hereof with respect to unvested Class B Units (other than distributions under Section 5.3) shall not be made to the holders of such unvested Class B Units until such Units vest, at which time any such distributions shall be made to the holder of such then vested Class B Units. Any distributions pursuant to the foregoing sentence that are forfeited as a result of the forfeiture without vesting of the applicable Class B Units shall thereafter be retained and/or distributed in a manner consistent with the distribution priorities set forth in Article 5 as determined by the Board.

Section 3.2 Members’ Capital Contributions.

(a) Each of the Members party to the Prior LLC Agreement hereby agrees and acknowledges that the number of Units set forth opposite its name on Schedule A hereto reflects all equity interest held by such Member as of the date of this Agreement.

(b) The name of, and the number and class of Units owned by, each Member as of the date of this Agreement as set forth on Schedule A hereto. In the event of any change with respect of the information stated on Schedule A, the Board shall promptly cause the information stated on Schedule A hereto to be amended to reflect such change (and no consent of any other Person shall be required for any such amendment); provided, that the failure of the Board to cause the information stated on Schedule A hereto to be amended shall not prevent the effectiveness of, or otherwise effect the underlying adjustments that would be reflected in, such an amendment. The Units shall not be certificated, unless otherwise determined by the Board.

(c) No Member shall have any obligation to make any other Capital Contributions to the Company at any time, and no Member shall make any Capital Contribution to the Company except as may be approved by the Board and such Member.

Section 3.3 Nature Of Interests. The Units and all other Interests shall for all purposes be personal property. No Member has any interest in specific Company property. Each Member hereby waives any and all rights such Person may have to initiate or maintain any suit or action for partition of the Company’s assets.

Section 3.4 Capital Accounts. An individual Capital Account shall be established and maintained for each Member in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and this Section 3.4 shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Whenever the Company would be permitted to adjust the Capital Accounts of the Members pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect revaluations of Company property, the Company may so adjust the Capital Accounts of the Members. In the event that the Capital Accounts of the Members are adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect revaluations of Company property, (i) the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations

Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) for allocations of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss, as computed for book purposes, with respect to such property, (ii) the Members’ distributive shares of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss, as computed for tax purposes, with respect to such property shall be determined so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted tax basis and book value of such property in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c), and (iii) the amount of upward and/or downward adjustments to the book value of the Company property shall be treated as income, gain, deduction and/or loss for purposes of applying the allocation provisions of Article 4. In the event that Code Section 704(c) applies to Company property, the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) for allocations of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain and loss, as computed for book purposes, with respect to such property. On the Transfer of all or a portion of a Member’s Units, the Capital Account of the Transferor that is attributable to the Transferred Units shall carry over to the Transferee Member in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(l). The Capital Accounts shall be maintained for the sole purpose of allocating income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members and shall have no effect on the amount of any distributions to any Members in liquidation or otherwise.

Section 3.5 Negative Capital Accounts. No Member shall be required to pay to any other Member, the Company or any other Person any deficit or negative balance that may exist from time to time in such Member’s Capital Account (including, without limitation, any such deficit or negative balance as may exist upon and after dissolution of the Company).

Section 3.6 No Withdrawal. No Member shall be entitled to resign from the Company or withdraw all or any portion of such Member’s Capital Contributions or the balance of such Member’s Capital Account, or to receive any distribution from the Company, except as expressly provided herein.

Section 3.7 Units Governed by Article 8. The Company hereby irrevocably elects that all Units in the Company shall be securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware and each other applicable jurisdiction. Should the Company issue certificates to a Member evidencing the Units held by such Member in the Company, each such certificate shall bear the following legend:

“THIS CERTIFICATE EVIDENCES AN INTEREST IN KC PARENT, LLC AND SHALL BE A SECURITY GOVERNED BY ARTICLE 8 OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE AS IN EFFECT IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.”

Section 3.8 Additional Issuances.

(a) Except as provided in Section 3.8(d), if the Company proposes the issuance or sale of any Capital Securities (collectively, “New Securities”), the Company shall first offer to sell to the holders of Preferred Units who hold Units in excess of an aggregate of $1,000,000 of Class A Unit Purchase Price and/or with an aggregate Class A-1 Catch-Up Amount in excess of $1,000,000, as applicable (the “Significant Holders”) (each for the purposes of this Section 3.8, an “Offeree,” and collectively, the “Offerees”) a portion of such New Securities equal to the quotient determined by dividing (i) the number of Class A Units and Class A-1 Units held by such Offeree by (ii) the total number of Class A Units and Class A-1 Units held by all of the Offerees. Each Offeree shall be entitled to purchase such New Securities at the most favorable price and on the most favorable terms, as such New Securities are to be offered to any other Person. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no holder of Class A Units or Class A-1 Units shall be deemed to be an Offeree for purposes of this Section unless such holder is an “accredited investor” for purposes of Regulation D of the Securities Act, or another exemption from registration is readily available for issuance of such New Securities to such holder.

(b) In order to exercise its purchase rights hereunder, an Offeree must within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written notice from the Company describing in reasonable detail the New Securities being offered, the purchase price thereof, the payment terms and such Offeree’s percentage allotment, deliver a written notice to the Company and the other Offerees describing its election hereunder. If all of the New Securities offered to the Offerees are not fully subscribed by such Offerees, the remaining New Securities not so subscribed for shall be reoffered by the Company to the remaining Offerees that exercised their rights in full, except that such remaining Offerees must exercise their purchase rights within five (5) days after receipt of such reoffer.

(c) Upon the expiration of the offering periods described above, the Company shall be entitled to sell the New Securities, which the Offerees elected not to purchase during the 120 days following such expiration on terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those offered to such Offerees. Any New Securities offered or sold by the Company after such 120-day period must be reoffered to the Offerees pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.8.

(d) The provisions of this Section 3.8 shall not apply to the issuance of (i) New Securities pursuant to any incentive plan or arrangement, or issuance of Units to Service Providers in exchange for services, in each case as approved by the Board, (ii) New Securities issued or issuable to lenders in connection with the Company obtaining debt financing from lenders that are not Affiliates of any Member, (iii) New Securities issued or issuable in connection with the acquisition of assets or other Persons by merger, consolidation, amalgamation, exchange of shares, the purchase of substantially all of the assets or otherwise, (iv) New Securities issued or issuable in connection with the split of Units, a reorganization of the Company’s Units or similar transactions, provided no Units are disproportionately affected by such split, reorganization or similar transaction, (v) New Securities issued in connection with joint ventures or other alliances or strategic transaction approved by the Board, (vi) New Securities sold in an initial Public Offering approved by the Board, and (vii) any other issuance in which preemptive rights are waived by the Partners Group Members, if the Partners Group Members are not participating in such issuance.

(e) The Company may proceed with the issuance of New Securities without first following procedures in Sections 3.8(a)-(d) above, provided that (i) the purchaser of such New Securities agrees in writing to take such New Securities subject to the provisions of this Section 3.8(e), and (ii) within ten (10) Business Days following the issuance of such New Securities, the Company or the purchaser of the New Securities undertakes steps substantially the same as those in Sections 3.8(a) through (d) above to offer to all Offerees the right to purchase from the Company or such purchaser such New Securities at the same price and terms applicable to the purchaser’s purchase thereof for the amount of such New Securities for which such Offeree would have been permitted to purchase if the procedures set forth in Sections 3.8(a)-(d) had been followed prior to the issuance of such New Securities.

(f) The rights of the Significant Holders under this Section 3.8 shall terminate upon the earlier of the consummation of a Sale of the Company and the consummation of a Public Offering.

ARTICLE 4

ALLOCATIONS

Section 4.1 Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss. After making any special allocations pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(iv) and Section 4.2, any net income or net loss (or items thereof) of the Company (as determined for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts) for each Taxable Year shall be allocated among the Members in such ratio or ratios as may be required to cause the balances of the Members’

respective Economic Capital Accounts to equal, as nearly as possible, their Target Balances, consistent with the provisions of Section 4.3. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Board shall have the authority to adjust the allocation of net income and net loss (or items thereof) in any manner reasonably intended to reflect more accurately the partners interest in the partnership, under the principles of Section 704(b) of the Code, and the economic arrangement among the Members and each Member’s relative holdings of Units, taking into account all factors, including unrealized gain or loss, in the sole discretion of the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, the Class C Preferred Return is expected to be payable out of the cumulative income of the Company and shall therefore be treated as a “distributive share” of partnership income within the meaning of Section 702 of the Code and not as a “guaranteed payment” within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, except to the extent that, in the Taxable Year of the Company’s liquidation, there are insufficient items of income to cover the Class C Preferred Return payable at the time of such liquidation to a holder of Class C Preferred Units.

Section 4.2 Special Allocations.

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4, if there is a net decrease in partnership minimum gain (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(2)) during any Taxable Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in partnership minimum gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 4.2(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4, if there is a net decrease in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2)) attributable to a partner nonrecourse debt (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) during any Taxable Year, each Member who has a share of the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain attributable to such partner nonrecourse debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of income and gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain attributable to such partner nonrecourse debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 4.2(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (d)(5) or (d)(6) that causes or increases a deficit balance in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account Balance, items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance of such Member as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.2(c) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance after all other allocations provided for in this

Article 4 have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.2(c) were not a term of this Agreement. This Section 4.2(c) is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” provision as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse deductions (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) shall be allocated in a manner permitted under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(e) and selected by the Tax Matters Partner. This Section 4.2(d) is intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(e) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.

(e) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any partner nonrecourse deductions for any Taxable Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the partner nonrecourse debt to which such partner nonrecourse deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

Section 4.3 Compliance With Code Section 704(b). The allocation provisions contained in this Article 4 are intended to comply with Code Section 704(b) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.

Section 4.4 Tax Allocations.

(a) General. Items of income, gain, deduction and loss for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated in the same manner as the corresponding items are allocated for book purposes pursuant to this Article 4, except as otherwise required by Code Section 704(c) and Section 3.4.

(b) Tax Allocations Under Code Section 704(c). In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for income tax purposes and its book value for Capital Account purposes. The Company shall account for such variations using any permissible method under Section 704(c) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3 as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.4(b) are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (other than this Section 4.4(b)). The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.4(b) shall also apply to any so-called “reverse Section 704(c) allocations.”

Section 4.5 Varying Interests. With respect to any Taxable Year during which any Member’s interest in the Company changes, allocations under Article 4 shall be adjusted appropriately to take into account the varying interests of the Members during such period as determined by the Board.

Section 4.6 Other Allocation Provisions. Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations under this Article 4, including the selection of any allocation method permitted under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3, shall be made by the Board in its sole discretion.

ARTICLE 5

Prices. The Board, subject to approval of the Partners Group Members, shall have the discretion to make any determinations required under this clause, including as to the extent to which a Class A-1 Unit or Class B Unit will be excluded from participating in any distributions under Section 5.2(a) on account of this Section 5.2(b).

(c) Any distributions pursuant to this Article 5 with respect to unvested Class B Units shall not be made until such Units vest, at which time any such distributions shall be made to the holder of such then vested Class B Units. Any deferred distributions pursuant to the foregoing sentence that are forfeited as a result of the forfeiture without vesting of the applicable Class B Units shall thereafter be retained or distributed in accordance with this Section 5.2. In the event distributions of incremental proceeds following attainment of the Class B Performance Hurdle are required to be made in order to make up shortfalls in the waterfall sequence set forth above, the distribution sequence and waterfall above shall be applied accordingly.

(d) In any Sale of the Company involving the sale of Units by the Members, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, the proceeds paid per Unit in such sale shall reflect the rights upon distribution set forth in Section 5.2(a), solely with regard to the Units being sold in such sale.

(e) Any cash and the non-cash property that is to be distributed to Members, whether received in connection with a Sale of the Company or otherwise, shall be distributed pro rata to the Members in the same order and priority set forth in Section 5.2(a) on the basis of the net fair market value of such non-cash property as determined in good faith by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that such non-cash property consists of Publicly Traded Securities, such securities shall be valued as follows:

(i) If traded on a nationally recognized securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing sales prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the 30-day period ending three (3) Business Days prior to the closing;

(ii) If traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the 30-day period ending three (3) Business Days prior to the closing; and

(iii) If there is no active public market for such securities, in the case of a Sale of the Company, the value shall be the Fair Market Value thereof, as determined by an appraisal by an independent third-party appraiser reasonably acceptable to (x) the Board and (y) the Partners Group Members.

(f) For purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(i) “Class A-1 Distribution Percentage” means, as of any time of determination, a ratio, expressed as a percentage, (1) the numerator of which is the number of outstanding Class A-1 Units and (2) the denominator of which is the total number of Class A Units and Class A-1 Units outstanding as of the date of determination.

(ii) “Class B-1 Distribution Percentage” means, as of any time of determination, a ratio, expressed as a percentage, (1) the numerator of which is the number of outstanding vested Class B-1 Units and (2) the denominator of which is the total number of Class A Units and Class A-1 Units outstanding as of the date of determination and the number of authorized Class B Units.

(iii) “Class B-2 Distribution Percentage” means, as of any time of determination, a ratio, expressed as a percentage, (1) the numerator of which is the number of outstanding vested Class B-2 Units and (2) the denominator of which is the total number of Class A Units and Class A-1 Units outstanding as of the date of determination and the number of authorized Class B Units.

(iv) “Class B-3 Distribution Percentage” means, as of any time of determination, a ratio, expressed as a percentage, (1) the numerator of which is the number of outstanding vested Class B-3 Units and (2) the denominator of which is the total number of Class A Units and Class A-1 Units outstanding as of the date of determination and the number of authorized Class B Units.

(g) Calculation of any amounts of payments pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall not include any amounts payable in respect of any escrow, indemnification obligations, deferred payments or contingent payments unless and until payment thereof is actually made to the Members in cash.

Section 5.3 Tax Distributions. The Company shall make distributions to the Members at times and in amounts intended to assist the Members in satisfying their tax liabilities attributable to allocations of taxable income of the Company to them in any Taxable Year (a “Tax Distribution”); provided, however, the Company’s obligation to make a Tax Distribution shall be subject to the availability of adequate cash on the Company’s balance sheet. In determining the amount of any Tax Distribution, the Board may assume that the items of taxable income, gain, deduction, loss and credit in respect of the Company are the only such items entering into the computation of tax liability of the Members for the Taxable Year and that each Member is subject to tax at the Assumed Tax Rate. In addition, the Board may take into account prior distributions made to the Members under this Agreement with respect to such Taxable Year and prior allocations of net income and net losses made to the Members by the Company in any period, and the Board may make reasonable assumptions regarding the varying tax rates applicable to different categories of taxable income and loss and to different tax years in which taxable income or loss is recognized. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no items of income, gain, loss and/or deduction allocated under Section 704(c) of the Code (or so-called “reverse Section 704(c) allocations”) shall be taken into account in calculating any Tax Distribution. Distributions made pursuant to this Section 5.3 to any Member shall be treated as advances against future distributions that otherwise would be made to such Member and therefore shall reduce the amount of such future distributions dollar for dollar.

Section 5.4 Limitations on Distributions to Holders of Incentive Units. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 5, to the extent that any Member has been granted any Units that, by the terms of such grant or by agreement, entitle the holder, once such Units vest, to receive less than the full amount of distributions otherwise payable in respect of such class or series of Units generally, then the provisions of such grant or agreement shall supersede such holder’s rights under this Article 5, and the amount of reduction in distributions to such holder shall be available to all other Members in accordance with this Article 5.

Section 5.5 Receipt of Fair Value; Withholding; Offset.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of the Act, no Person that ceases to be a Member of the Company shall be entitled to receive the fair value of such Person’s interest in the Company prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Company.

(b) If any federal, foreign, state or local jurisdiction requires the Company to withhold taxes or other amounts with respect to any Member’s allocable share of taxable income or any items thereof, or with respect to distributions, the Company shall withhold from distributions or other amounts then due

to such Member an amount necessary to satisfy the withholding responsibility and shall pay any amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities. In such a case, for purposes of this Agreement the Member for on behalf of whom the Company has paid the withholding tax shall be deemed to have received the withheld distribution or other amount due and to have paid the withholding tax directly and such Member’s share of cash distributions or other amounts due shall be reduced by a corresponding amount. If it is anticipated that at the due date of the Company’s withholding obligation the Member’s share of cash distributions or other amounts due is less than the amount of the withholding obligation, the Member with respect to which the withholding obligation applies shall pay to the Company the amount of such shortfall within thirty (30) days after notice by the Company. If a Member fails to make the required payment when due hereunder, and the Company nevertheless pays the withholding, in addition to the Company’s remedies for breach of this Agreement, the amount paid shall be deemed a recourse loan from the Company to such Member bearing interest at 8%, and the Company shall apply all distributions or payments that would otherwise be made to such Member toward payment of the loan and interest, which payments or distributions shall be applied first to interest and then to principal until the loan is repaid in full. For purposes of the foregoing, any taxes, penalties and interest for which the Company is liable in respect of a Member (as determined in good faith by the Manager) under Section 6225 of the Code shall be treated as a withholding payment with respect to such Member. Each Member shall, upon request of the Company, file any amended U.S. federal income tax return and pay any tax due in connection therewith in accordance with Section 6225(c)(2) of the Code. For purposes of this Section 5.5, references to a “Member” include a former Member. Each Member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Manager from and against any liability with respect to any withholding payment (or amount treated as a withholding payment) with respect to such Member. A Member’s obligation to so indemnify and to file tax returns under Section 6225(c)(2) of the Code shall survive the liquidation and dissolution of the Company and the transfer, assignment or liquidation of such Member’s Units.

(c) Whenever the Company is to distribute or pay any sum to any Member pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, any amounts such Member owes the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise), as determined by the Board, may be deducted from such sum before distribution or payment, to the extent permitted by applicable law. All amounts deducted by the Company from amounts distributed or paid by the Company to a Member pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall (i) be deemed to have been distributed or paid to such Member and (ii) reduce any amounts such Member owes the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (as applicable) under the applicable arrangement between such entity and such Member.

Each Manager shall be entitled to one vote on matters coming before the Board, provided that the Partners Group Managers shall at all times have an aggregate of four (4) votes and if there are fewer than four (4) Partners Group Managers at any such time, each of the Partners Group Managers then serving on the Board shall be entitled to a number of additional votes (whether at a meeting or by written consent and which number of votes may include fractional votes) in an amount sufficient to give the Partners Group Managers then serving on the Board, as a group, four (4) votes.

(d) The Board may establish, and may delegate any of its duties or responsibilities to, one or more committees, which shall be comprised solely of Managers. Except as specifically set forth herein, each such committee shall be composed of a number of Partners Group Managers constituting a majority of such committees; provided, that no Partners Group Manager or other Manager shall be required to serve on such committee in the event he or she is unable or unwilling to so serve. The Board may set forth the powers and purpose of any committee it creates in a written charter, or in a resolution adopted by the Board.

(b) The Board may, from time to time appoint one or more individuals as officers and delegate to such officers such authority and duties as the Board deems advisable. In addition, the Board may assign titles (including, without limitation, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Vice President, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer) to such officers and, unless the Board decides otherwise, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such officer of the authority and duties that are normally associated with that office; provided, such delegation shall be subject to all limits on authority of the Board set forth herein and shall exclude any right to take any action set forth in Section 6.5 without approval of the requisite Members. At least two officers, at least one of whom must be an Affiliate of the Partners Group Members, must sign any agreement or document requiring execution by the Company in order for such agreement or document to be a binding obligation of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall only apply to the Company and not to any of its Subsidiaries, unless otherwise provided in the organizational documents of such Subsidiaries. Any number of titles may be held by the same individual. The salaries or other compensation, if any, of such officers shall be fixed from time to time by the Board. Any delegation pursuant to this Section 6.3(b) may be revoked at any time by the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion. The officers shall have the same fiduciary obligations and duties as comparable officers of a Delaware corporation, shall have the same rights to indemnification from the Company as comparable officers of a Delaware corporation would have under Delaware law and this Agreement, and in all cases shall execute their duties and obligations to the Company in good faith and in the manner that each such officer reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Company.

If at any meeting of the Board or committee thereof, there is less than a quorum present, holders of a majority of the votes held by those present may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum is present.

(d) Any Manager may participate in any meeting of the Board or a Board committee by means of videoconference, telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

Such consents may be executed in more than one counterpart, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument. Delivery of signature pages by facsimile transmission or portable document format (PDF) shall constitute effective execution and delivery and may be used in lieu of the original for all purposes. Delivery of an email by a Manager affirming such Manager’s approval of, or agreement with, a requested consent shall constitute effective execution and delivery of such consent in writing by such Manager for all purposes. All such writings shall be filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section, the absence of any such representative from any meeting or the failure of any such representative to participate in any consent shall not affect the existence of a quorum of the validity of any action taken.

ARTICLE 7

LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7.1 Liability. Except as otherwise provided by the Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company or a Subsidiary, and no Covered Person shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company or a Subsidiary solely by reason of being a Covered Person.

Section 7.2 Exculpation.

(a) No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any Member or other Covered Person for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person, in good faith on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that a Covered Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Covered Person’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, and this provision shall not reduce or limit the contractual liability of a Covered Person for breach of any Related Agreement or other agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.2 shall not apply to acts or omissions by officers of the Company in their capacity as such even if such Persons are otherwise Covered Persons.

(b) A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company and its Subsidiaries by any Person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits, losses or income or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to Members might properly be paid. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Covered Person shall have any liability with respect to any valuations performed pursuant to this Agreement, and shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and upon information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company and its Subsidiaries by any Person as to matters which the Company or such Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence.

(a) The Company shall, or shall cause its relevant Subsidiary to, indemnify and hold harmless the Partners Group Members, the Advisor Member, the Management Members in their capacity as Members, the CEO in his or her capacity as such, other C-Suite level officers in their respective capacities as such, and each Manager and may (at the election of the Board) indemnify and hold harmless each other Covered Person to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, costs, damages, liabilities (joint or several), expenses of any nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts (“Indemnified

Costs”) arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which the Covered Person may be involved, or threatened to be involved as a party or otherwise, arising out of or incidental to the business or activities of or relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries, regardless of whether the Covered Person is a Covered Person at the time any such Indemnified Cost is paid or incurred, except that no Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any Indemnified Cost incurred by such Covered Person by reason of such Covered Person’s fraud or intentional misconduct (or, in the case of any officer, breach of any fiduciary duty to the Company), and this provision shall not reduce or limit the contractual liability of a Covered Person for breach of a Related Agreement or other agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section 7.3 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company or Subsidiary assets only, and no Covered Person shall have any personal liability to make Capital Contributions to fund such indemnity.

(b) The indemnification provided by this Section 7.3 shall be in addition to any other rights to which a Covered Person may be entitled under any agreement, vote of the Board, as a matter of law or equity, or otherwise, both as to an action in the Covered Person’s capacity as a Covered Person, and as to an action in another capacity, and shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns, and administrators of each Covered Person.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.3, the Company shall pay or reimburse, in advance of the final disposition of the applicable proceeding, Indemnified Costs incurred by a Covered Person in connection with such Person’s appearance as a witness on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries or other participation at the request of the Company or a Subsidiary in a proceeding involving or affecting the Company or its Subsidiaries at a time when the Covered Person is not a named defendant or respondent in the proceeding, subject to the Company’s receipt of (i) a written affirmation by such Covered Person of such Covered Person’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company, as stated in Section 7.3(a) has been met and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it shall ultimately be determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder.

(d) The Board shall cause the Company or its Subsidiaries to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Covered Persons and/or the Company and its Subsidiaries against any liability asserted against any Covered Person and incurred by any Covered Person in such Person’s capacity as such or arising out of the Covered Person’s status in such capacity, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify the Covered Person against that liability under this Section 7.3, as determined by the Board. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall obtain and maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance with coverage in a face amount as determined by the Board. The indemnification provided by this Section 7.3 shall be in addition to any other rights to which the Covered Persons may be entitled under any agreement, vote of the Board, as a matter of law, or otherwise, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Covered Persons.

(e) A Covered Person shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.3 solely because the Covered Person had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of the Related Agreements.

Section 7.4 Expenses; Advances. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company (a) shall, in the case of the Partners Group Members, the Advisor Member, the Management Members (in their capacity as such), the Managers, and any other C-Suite level officers in his or her respective capacity as such, and (b) may, in the discretion of the Board, in the case of any other Covered Person, from time to time advance expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by any such Persons

in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification is available under Section 7.3 prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, in each case, subject to the Company’s receipt of (i) a written affirmation by such Covered Person of such Covered Person’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company, as stated in Section 7.3(a), has been met and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it shall ultimately be determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder; provided, that the Company shall not be required to advance expenses under this Article 7 to any Covered Person relating to any proceeding or claim brought by such Covered Person (or any of its Permitted Transferees) against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 7.5 Notification of Claims. If a Covered Person believes that it is entitled to indemnification under this Article 7, such Covered Person shall promptly give written notice (in accordance with Article 12) to the Company describing such claim for indemnification, the amount thereof, if known, and the method of computation, all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such claim shall have occurred; provided, however, that the failure by such indemnitee to give such notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Company of its indemnification obligation under this Article 7 except to the extent that the Company is actually and materially damaged as a result of such failure.

Section 7.6 Third-Party Claims. In the event of any claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding (including any action by or in the right of the Company), civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by or before court, arbitrator, mediator, governmental body or agency or self-regulatory organization (each, a “Proceeding”) by a third party, the Covered Person(s) claiming such indemnification shall give written notice thereof to the Company (in accordance with Article 12) not later than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the time any response to the asserted claim is required, if possible, and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days following the date such Covered Person has actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that the failure by such Covered Person(s) to give such notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Company of its indemnification obligation under this Article 7 except to the extent that the Company is actually and materially damaged as a result of such failure. In the event of any such claim for indemnification by a Covered Person or Covered Persons resulting from or in connection with a Proceeding by a third party, the Company may, at its sole cost and expense, assume the defense thereof; provided, however, that counsel for the Company, who shall conduct the defense of such Proceeding, shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Covered Person(s); and, provided, further, that if the defendants in any such Proceeding include both such Covered Person(s) and the Company and such Covered Person(s) shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses or rights available to it or them which have not been waived and are in actual or potential conflict with those available to the Company, such Covered Person(s) shall have the right to select one law firm reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as separate counsel, on behalf of such Covered Person(s), at the expense of the Company, in connection with such Proceeding. If the Company assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, it shall not consent to entry of any judgment, or enter into any settlement, without the prior written consent of such Covered Person(s) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Covered Person(s) may, at its or their own expense (unless the costs of separate counsel are paid by the Company as provided herein), participate in any such Proceeding with the counsel of their choice. So long as the Company is in good faith defending such Proceeding, such Covered Person(s) shall not compromise or settle such Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 7.7 Fund Indemnitors. The Company hereby acknowledges that certain of its Managers and certain of its Members and the direct and indirect partners therein or owners, officers, managers, stockholders, members, representatives, employees or agents thereof (the “Fund Indemnitees”) may have rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance with respect to their service

on the Board or otherwise in connection with their involvement with the Company provided by other Persons (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to the Fund Indemnitees are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the Fund Indemnitees are secondary), and (ii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof, except to the extent that a Fund Indemnitee breaches its undertaking to repay advanced expenses as provided in Section 7.4. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of the Fund Indemnitees with respect to any claim for which the Fund Indemnitees have sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Fund Indemnitees against the Company.

Section 7.8 Nature of Rights. The rights set forth in this Article 7 are contractual in nature and any amendment to the terms of this Article 7 shall not affect the rights of a Covered Person with respect to acts, omissions or matters occurring prior to such amendment without such Covered Person’s prior written approval.

In addition, each Member shall bear its pro rata share (based upon its share of the aggregate proceeds, including for this purpose the value of any Member’s “rolled”, or retained equity) of any indemnities required of all of the Members in connection with a Sale of the Company (other than indemnities arising out of representations concerning a Member’s own Units, the authority of that Member to effect the transaction, and the enforceability of that Member’s obligations thereunder, and other customary representations and covenants particular to the individual Member, for which such Member shall be solely responsible (“Member Matters”)), provided that (i) a Member’s liability shall be several and not joint, (ii) except in instances of such Member’s fraud or willful misconduct, the maximum potential liability for such indemnities shall be limited to the amount of the aggregate proceeds received or receivable by such Member in the Sale of the Company and (iii) with respect to indemnities that do not relate to Member Matters, the maximum potential liability for such indemnities shall be limited to such Member’s pro rata share (as determined in the immediately preceding sentence) of the indemnity obligations.

The ROFO Notice shall constitute the Transferring Member’s offer to Transfer the offered Units to the ROFO Holders on the terms specified therein and such offer shall be irrevocable until the expiration of the Member ROFO Acceptance Period. The Company shall have the right and option, for a period of thirty (30) days after delivery of the ROFO Notice (the “Company ROFO Acceptance Period”), to accept in writing all or any of the Units so offered at the purchase price stated in, and on the other terms and conditions set forth in, the ROFO Notice.

(b) If the Company shall not have accepted all of the Units offered for sale pursuant to the ROFO Notice within the Company ROFO Acceptance Period, the Company will provide each ROFO Holder with notice of such determination within five (5) days following the expiration of the Company ROFO Acceptance Period. Each ROFO Holder shall have the right and option, for a period of twenty (20) days after the expiration of the Company ROFO Acceptance Period (the “Member ROFO Acceptance Period”), to accept in writing all or any of his, her or its pro rata portion (based on the number of Preferred Units then-held by such ROFO Holder in relation to the aggregate number of Preferred Units then-held by all ROFO Holders, in each case calculated on an as-converted basis) of the Units not accepted by the Company at the purchase price stated in, and on the other terms and conditions set forth in, the ROFO Notice.

(c) If the Company and the ROFO Holders shall not have accepted all of the Units offered for sale pursuant to the ROFO Notice within the Company ROFO Acceptance Period and the Member ROFO Acceptance Period, the Company will provide each ROFO Holder who shall have fully exercised his, her or its option to purchase or acquire Units available to him, her, or it in accordance with Section 8.8(a) (a “Fully Exercising ROFO Holder”) with notice of such determination within five (5) days following the expiration of the Member ROFO Acceptance Period. Each other Fully Exercising ROFO Holder shall have the right and option, for a period of twenty (20) days after the expiration of the Member ROFO Acceptance Period (the “Over-Allotment ROFO Acceptance Period”), (i) to accept in writing all or any of his, her or its pro rata portion (based on the number of Preferred Units then-held by such Fully Exercising ROFO Holder in relation to the aggregate number of Preferred Units then-held by all Fully Exercising ROFO Holders (in each case, calculated on an as-converted basis)) of the Units not accepted by the Company and the ROFO Holders at the purchase price stated in, and on the other terms and conditions

set forth in, the ROFO Notice and (ii) to offer, in any written notice of acceptance, to purchase any Units not accepted by the other ROFO Holders pursuant to this sentence, in which case the Units not accepted by the other ROFO Holders shall be deemed, on the same terms and conditions, to be re-offered from time to time during the Over-Allotment ROFO Acceptance Period to and accepted by the Fully Exercising ROFO Holders who exercised their option under this Section 8.8(c), pro rata among such Fully Exercising ROFO Holders until all such Units are fully subscribed or until all such Fully Exercising ROFO Holders have subscribed for all such offered Units which they desire to purchase.

(d) If the Company (within the Company ROFO Acceptance Period), the ROFO Holders (within the Member ROFO Acceptance Period), and the Fully Exercising ROFO Holders (within the Over-Allotment ROFO Acceptance Period) shall not have accepted all of the Units offered for sale pursuant to the ROFO Notice, then the Transferring Member delivering the ROFO Notice may Transfer, subject to any other restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Agreement, that number of the Units not accepted by the Company and the ROFO Holders to any Person at a purchase price not less than the purchase price specified in the ROFO Notice (and on other terms and conditions not less favorable to the Transferring Member (and not more favorable to the proposed Transferee) than the terms specified in the ROFO Notice), at any time within ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Over-Allotment ROFO Acceptance Period. Any such Transfer shall be in compliance with Article 8. In the event the Units are not Transferred by the Transferring Members on such terms during such period, or if the Transferring Member offers to Transfer such Units at a purchase price less than the purchase price set forth in the ROFO Notice (or on other terms and conditions less favorable to the Transferring Member (or more favorable to the proposed Transferee)), the restrictions of this Section 8.8 shall again become applicable to the Transfer of such Units by the Transferring Member.

(e) The terms of this Section 8.8 shall not apply to any Permitted Transfer or any Transfer pursuant to Section 8.7, Section 8.9 or in connection with a Sale of the Company or an initial Public Offering.

(f) For purposes of this Section 8.8, each Partners Group Member may aggregate its pro rata portion of the offered Units (as calculated pursuant to Section 8.8(b)) among its Affiliates to the extent that such Affiliates do not elect to purchase their respective pro rata portion of the offered Units (as calculated pursuant to Section 8.8(b)).

Section 8.9 Tag-Along Rights.

(a) Member Transfer Notice. Except for Permitted Transfers and transactions covered by Section 8.7 with respect to which the drag-along right is exercised and Section 8.8 with respect to which a Right of First Offer is exercised, in the event that a holder of Preferred Units (a “Tag-Along Transferor”) wishes to accept a bona fide offer from a third party (a “Third Party Offer”) for the purchase of all or any of the Units held by it in a Transfer approved by the Board, the Tag-Along Transferor shall give written notice thereof (a “Member Transfer Notice”) to the other holders or Preferred Units (the “Tag Holder”) and the Company, which notice shall (i) describe the material terms and conditions of such offer, including, without limitation, specifying in reasonable detail the identity of the prospective Transferee(s), the type, class or series, and the number of the Units to be Transferred, the purchase price therefor and the percentage of Preferred Units held by the Tag-Along Transferor being Transferred and (ii) make explicit reference to this Section 8.9 and the right of the Tag Holder to exercise its rights under this Section 8.9 (the “Tag-Along Rights”).

(b) Tag-Along. The Tag Holder at his, her or its option, may by written notice to the Tag-Along Transferor given within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of a Member Transfer Notice, require the Tag-Along Transferor to cause such third party to acquire up to the same proportionate percentage of

the applicable outstanding Preferred Units which such Member owns as the Tag-Along Transferor proposes to sell (or, if such Member shall elect, any lesser percentage), on the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the proposed transfer by the Tag-Along Transferor and for an amount of consideration in respect of such Member’s Preferred Units that such Member would receive with respect to the Preferred Units being Transferred if the Company’s assets had been sold for the implied value of the Company (as determined in good faith by the Board, based on the consideration being received by the Tag-Along Transferor in respect of the Preferred Units being Transferred by it, such Board determination to be final and binding on the participating Members) and the proceeds were distributed pursuant to Section 5.2. For the avoidance of doubt, Tag-Along Rights will apply only to the same class of Preferred Unit as the Tag-Along Transferor proposes to Transfer in the Member Transfer Notice.

(c) The Company shall pay for all transaction costs and expenses incurred in connection with a sale pursuant to this Section 8.9 to the extent not paid by the acquiring party. Each Member shall pay for all transaction costs and expenses incurred by such Member on an individual basis, and its pro rata share (based upon its share of the aggregate proceeds after deducting all transaction costs and expenses incurred for the benefit of all of the Members as a group in connection with any sale pursuant to this Section 8.9) of those transaction costs and expenses incurred for the benefit of all of the Members as a group in connection with any sale pursuant to this Section 8.9, in each case, to the extent not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring party. Any and all Transfers pursuant to this Section 8.9 shall take place concurrently with the Transfer of the Units by the Tag-Along Transferor.

Upon dissolution of the Company and liquidation of its assets and properties as set forth above, a final allocation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction will be made in accordance with Article 4 (provided, however, that the Company shall make remedial allocations to the Members so that the Capital Accounts of the Members at the time of final distribution comport with the distribution provisions of this Section 10.2(c)), and proceeds arising from such liquidation, shall be distributed or used as follows and in the following order of priority:

(i) for the payment of the Company’s liabilities and obligations to its creditors (including creditors that are also Members), and the expenses of liquidation;

(ii) to the setting up of any reserves that the Liquidator may deem reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company; and

(iii) to the Members in accordance with Section 5.2(a).

(d) Notwithstanding Section 10.2(b) but subject to the prior approval of the Partners Group Members, the Liquidator may, upon dissolution of the Company, distribute the Company’s assets to the Members in kind in lieu of liquidating the Company’s assets as provided in Section 10.2(b), provided that if any assets of the Company are to be distributed in kind, the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) and such assets shall be distributed on the basis of the Fair Market Value thereof (without taking Code Section 7701(g) into account) and any Member entitled to any interest in such assets shall receive such interest therein as a tenant-in-common with all other Members so entitled. The fair market value of such assets shall be that which is determined by the Liquidator.

Section 10.3 Liability for Return of Capital Contributions. Each Member, by its execution of this Agreement, agrees that liability for the return of its Capital Contribution is limited to the Company’s assets and each Member shall look solely to the Company and its assets for all distributions with respect to the Company and his, her or its Capital Contribution thereto.

Section 10.4 Conversion to Corporation.

(a) In the event that at any time after the date hereof, the Board shall determine (subject to Section 6.5) that it wishes to facilitate an offering of equity interests in the Company or a successor through a Public Offering, or for any other reason, then the Board shall have the power to cause the Company to be reorganized as a corporation or become a subsidiary or parent of a corporation, or distribute the stock of a corporate subsidiary to the Members in accordance with this Agreement (such corporation

being hereinafter referred to as a “Corporate Vehicle”) under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware by incorporation, merger, conversion, contribution or other permissible manner (a “Conversion”), and the Members shall cooperate in good faith to effectuate such Conversion and (if applicable) Public Offering. The Company will use its good faith commercially reasonable efforts to structure the Conversion as a transaction intended to qualify for tax-free treatment under section 351 of the Code, to the extent reasonably practicable for the Company and its Members.

(b) The Members holding Units shall receive, in exchange for their Units of a particular class, shares of stock in the Corporate Vehicle of the relevant class having the same relative seniority, preferences, voting, board rights and consent rights, economic interest and other rights and obligations, including those set forth in Section 3.1 and the other provisions hereof (and in no event shall such interest, rights or obligations be less favorable to such Member than the terms of their respective Units) in the Corporate Vehicle as are set forth in this Agreement applicable to the Units, subject to any modifications deemed appropriate by the Board (with the consent of the holders of a majority of the affected class of Units) as a result of the Conversion. In addition to the foregoing, the certificate of incorporation of the Corporate Vehicle shall provide that (A) the preferred stock of the Corporate Vehicle is automatically converted into common stock in connection with a Public Offering (based on the economics herein), and (B) the conversion of described in clause (A) shall be at the conversion ratios determined to give effect to the relative values of the Units based on the economic rights thereof as set forth in this Agreement, determined by the Board in good faith based at the time of a Public Offering (if applicable) (and taking into account the price of shares in such Public Offering).

(c) The Corporate Vehicle and the Members (in their capacities as stockholders of the Corporate Vehicle) shall enter into a stockholders’ agreement providing for such terms and conditions as are necessary for the rights and obligations and provisions of this Agreement to continue to apply to the Corporate Vehicle, the stockholders of the Corporate Vehicle and the capital stock of the Corporate Vehicle, including, but not limited to, (A) an agreement to vote all shares of capital stock held by such stockholders to elect the board of directors of such resulting corporation in accordance with the substance of Section 6.2, and (B) the rights and obligations of the Members contained herein (which may, at the election of the Partners Group Members, be contained in the Corporate Vehicle’s certificate of incorporation).

(d) No Member will have the right or power to veto, vote for or against, amend, modify or delay a Conversion. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Member hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Company its true and lawful attorney, for it and in its name, place and stead and for its use and benefit, to act as its proxy in respect of any vote or approval of Members required to give effect to this Section 10.4, including any vote or approval required under Section 18-209 of the Act. The proxy granted pursuant to this Section 10.4(d) is a special proxy coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

(e) The Company and the Members hereby agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to structure the Conversion to maximize the ability of the Members to aggregate (or “tack”) the period during which they hold their Units together with the period during which they hold shares of capital stock of the Corporate Vehicle for purposes of the United States securities laws, including Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

(f) Each Member (including any Permitted Transferee thereof) agrees, upon confirmation, that all officers and directors of the Company and all holders of five percent (5%) or greater of Capital Securities of the Company have entered into similar agreements, not to directly or indirectly lend, pledge, offer, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of or otherwise dispose of or Transfer any equity securities of the Company or any Corporate Vehicle or other successor held by it for (a) one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of the relevant registration statement filed under the Securities

Act in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of Capital Securities, or (b) ninety (90) days following the effective date of the relevant registration statement in connection with any other public offering of Capital Securities, as such managing underwriter shall specify reasonably and in good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (x) during the last seventeen (17) days of the foregoing 180-day period or 90-day period, as applicable, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs or (y) prior to the expiration of the 180-day period or 90-day period, as applicable, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the restricted period, then the restrictions described above shall continue to apply until the expiration of an 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event. Each Member shall enter into customary letter agreements to the foregoing effect if so requested by the Company and the managing underwriter.

(g) Prior to a Public Offering, the Company and the holders of Preferred Units shall enter into a customary registration rights agreement, providing for (i) unlimited demand and “piggyback” registration rights for Partners Group Members, (ii) rights for each of the other Members holding Preferred Units exercisable from and after one hundred eighty (180) days following an initial Public Offering, to demand (A) one short-form underwritten registration in the case of all other Members, in any twelve (12) months period, and (B) at any time when the Corporate Vehicle becomes eligible to register securities on Form S-3 or a similar successor form, to effect a “shelf” registration, and (iii) customary” “piggyback” registration rights (with pro-rata underwriter cutbacks) on all demand registrations and Company registrations (other than an initial Public Offering solely by the Company for its account), in each case at the Company’s expense.

WAIVERS; AMENDMENTS

The provisions of this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Company and all other parties hereto under this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively, and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely) or amended, or amended and restated (including without limitation pursuant to an issuance of additional Units pursuant to Section 3.8), and, the Certificate may be amended (whether by way of merger or otherwise), or amended and restated, if and only if such waiver or amendment is approved by the Board and approved in accordance with Section 6.5; provided, however, that if any amendment, amendment and restatement or waiver would adversely affect, by its terms, the specifically enumerated rights hereunder of one or more Members or class of Members (“Affected Members”) in a way that is different from the change such amendment would effect on other Members or other classes of Members, such amendment shall not be effective as to any Affected Member unless consented to by the holders of a majority of the Units held by the Affected Members, voting together as a group. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the authorization and issuance of additional Units, including any new class or series of Units, at the direction of the Board pursuant to Section 8.6, whether such additional Units are junior, senior or pari passu with one or more classes or series of existing Units, and the amendment of this Agreement, Section 5.2 and Schedule A to reflect the terms of such additional Units, even if the issuance of such additional Units would have a dilutive effect on one or more classes or series of Units will not require the approval of any other Member. For the avoidance of doubt, Schedule A, as may be amended or modified in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be maintained by the Company. Each Member shall be bound by any amendment, amendment and restatement or waiver effected in accordance with this Article 11 or Section 8.6, whether or not such Member has consented to such amendment, amendment and restatement or waiver. Upon effectuation of each such waiver or amendment or amendment and restatement, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Members who have not previously consented thereto in writing.

Section 13.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts or choice of laws thereof that would give rise to the application of the domestic substantive law of any other jurisdiction.

Section 13.4 Equitable Remedies. The parties hereto agree that irreparable harm would occur in the event that any of the agreements or provisions of this Agreement were not performed fully by the parties hereto in accordance with their specific terms or conditions or were otherwise breached, and that money damages are an inadequate remedy for breach of the Agreement because of the difficulty of ascertaining and quantifying the amount of damage that will be suffered by the parties hereto in the event that this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms or conditions or is otherwise breached. It is accordingly hereby agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting a bond or other security, to restrain, enjoin and prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other parties and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, such remedy being in addition to and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies to which the other parties are entitled to at law or in equity.

Section 13.5 Recovery of Expenses. Each party hereto that breaches any term or provision hereof (the “Breaching Party”) further covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold the other parties hereto harmless from and against all costs and expenses, including legal or other professional fees and expenses incurred by such parties, in connection with or arising out of any proceeding instituted by such parties against the Breaching Party relating to such breach; provided that the party or parties seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 13.5 must have substantially prevailed in such proceeding.

Section 13.9 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for Article 7 as it relates to Covered Persons, nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or will, create any rights to any party other than a party that is a signatory hereto or who becomes a Member in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 13.10 Tax Matters Partner. The Board shall designate the (a) “tax matters partner” of the Company for purposes of, and in accordance with, Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (prior to the effective date of amendments to Chapter 63 of the Code pursuant to the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015) and (b) the “partnership representative” of the Company within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code (after the effective date of such amendments) (in each case, the “Tax Matters Partner”).

Section 13.12 Transactions with Interested Members; Renunciation of Corporate Opportunities.

(a) Unless entered into in bad faith, no contract or transaction between the Company and one of its officers, Managers or Members, or between the Company and any other Person in which one or more of its officers, Managers or Members have a financial interest or are directors, partners, members, stockholders, officers or employees, shall be voidable solely for this reason or solely because said officer, Manager or Member was present or participated in the authorization of such contract or transaction if: (i) the material facts as to the relationship or interest of said Person and as to the contract or transaction were disclosed or known to the Board and the contract or transaction was authorized by a majority of the votes held by disinterested members of the Board (if any); or (ii) the contract or transaction was entered into on arms-length terms and conditions that were fair and reasonable to the Company as of the time it was authorized, approved or ratified. Subject to compliance with the provisions of this Section 13.12, no officer, Manager or Member interested in such contract or transaction, because of such interest, shall be considered to be in breach of this Agreement or liable to the Company, any other Member, Manager or other Person for any loss or expense incurred by reason of such contract or transaction or shall be accountable for any gain or profit realized from such contract or transaction.

(b) To the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, the Company and each Subsidiary and each Member hereby renounce any interest or expectancy of such Person in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any and all business opportunities that are presented to the Partners Group Members and their respective Affiliates (together, the “Subject Members”), including, without limitation, persons who serve on the Board who are designated by the Subject Members. Without limiting the foregoing renunciation, the Company and each Subsidiary and each Member acknowledge that the Subject Members are in the business of making investments in, and have investments in, other businesses similar to and that may compete with the Company’s businesses (“Competing Businesses”), and agree that the Subject Members shall have the unfettered right to make additional investments in or have relationships with other Competing Businesses independent of their investments in the Company. By virtue of the Subject Members holding Units or by having persons designated by or affiliated with the Subject Members serving on the Board or otherwise, no Subject Member shall have any obligation to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other holder of Units to refrain from competing with the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, making investments in or having relationships with Competing Businesses, or otherwise

engaging in any commercial activity; and none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other holder of Units shall have any right with respect to any such investments or activities undertaken by such Subject Member. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Subject Member may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the Company or any Subsidiary, and none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries nor any other holder of Units shall have rights or expectancy by virtue of such Subject Member’s relationships with the Company or any Subsidiary, this Agreement or otherwise in and to such independent venture or the income or profits derived therefrom; and the pursuit of any such venture, even if such investment is in a Competing Business, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. No Subject Member shall be obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to the Company or any Subsidiary or Member, even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Company or a Subsidiary, could be taken by the Company or such Subsidiary, and the Subject Members shall continue to have the right to take for their own respective account or to recommend to others any such particular investment opportunity.

Section 13.13 No Fiduciary Duties of Members; Fiduciary Duties of Managers.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, no Member or Manager (in a Manager’s capacity as such) shall have any duties, contractual, fiduciary or otherwise, to the Company or any Member, other than the duties of good faith and fair dealing. The Company and each Member and Manager hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any and all rights and claims which it, he or she may otherwise have against any other Member or Manager or and such other Member’s or Manager’s officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, managers, agents, employees, and Affiliates as a result of any claims of breach of fiduciary or other duties by a Member in their capacities as such; provided that the foregoing shall not limit a Member’s or Manager’s rights and claims with respect to a breach of this Agreement or the Related Agreements, including under Section 13.5. No Member or Manager (in a Manager’s capacity as such) shall be liable to the Company or any other Member or Manager for any act or omission taken or suffered by such Member in connection with the business or operations of the Company or arising out of this Agreement, unless such act or omission has been adjudicated by a court or arbitral panel of competent jurisdiction, in a final, nonappealable judgment or decision, to have constituted a breach of this Agreement on the part of such Member or Manager. In making any decision with respect to the Company and its business, each Member and Manager shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it, he or she desires, including such Member’s or Manager’s interests, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, have no duty (including fiduciary duties) or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any other Member or Manager. In accordance with and to the extent permitted by Section 18-1101(c) of the Act, the provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 13.13, are agreed by the Company, the Members and the Managers to completely replace, eliminate and otherwise supplant those duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities that a Member or Manager might otherwise have. Each Member and Manager may rely on this Agreement (including this Section 13.13) to determine what duties (including fiduciary duties) the Members and Manager, in their capacities as such, may have to the Company or any Manager, Member or other Person who is a party to this Agreement (or who by operation of law may have certain benefits of a Member) and their compliance with those duties.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 13.13(a) above, the officers of the Company shall have the fiduciary duties of corporate officers under the Act. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 13.13 shall not affect the liability or duties of any officer or employee of the Company in their capacities as such.

Section 13.14 Further Assurances. The Members shall from time to time execute or cause to be executed all other documents or cause to be done all filing, recording, publishing, or other acts as may be necessary or desirable to comply with the requirements for the operation of a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware and all other jurisdictions in which the Company may from time to time conduct business.

Section 13.17 Scope. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, duration, geographical scope, activity, or subject, each such provision shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with applicable law then in force.

Section 13.18 No Waiver. No waiver by any party to this Agreement at any time of a breach by a party of any provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of any similar or dissimilar provisions of this Agreement at the same or any prior or subsequent time.

(e) Each Management Member, Advisor Member and CEO Member represents and warrants that he or she has carefully considered the nature and extent of the restrictions in this Section 13.20, and agrees that they are fair, reasonable and necessary to protect and maintain the proprietary interests, goodwill, trade secrets, established employee, customer, supplier, contractor and vendor relationships, and other legitimate business interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries in view of the following facts: (i) such Management Member, Advisor Member or CEO Member will hold Units in the Company, have access to confidential financial and other information, and relationships with the customers, suppliers and other employees of the Company as a result of such ownership of Units, (ii) it would be impossible for such Management Member, Advisor Member or CEO Member to be employed or engaged in business similar to the Company and its Subsidiaries’ business without inevitably using the Company and its Subsidiaries’ proprietary information and trade secrets, and (iii) such Management Member, Advisor Member or CEO Member has broad skills that will permit gainful employment in many areas and businesses outside the scope of the Company and its Subsidiaries’ business. For the avoidance of doubt, each Member acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Section 13.20 do not apply to any of the Partners Group Members.

(f) If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the character or duration of the provisions in this Section 13.20 are unreasonable, it is the intention and the agreement of the parties hereto that these provisions shall be construed by the court in such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on the conduct of such Management Member, Advisor Member or CEO Member that are reasonable in light of the circumstances and as are necessary to assure to the Company and its Subsidiaries the benefits of this Agreement. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants of this Section 13.20 because taken together they are more extensive than necessary to assure to the Company and its Subsidiaries the intended benefits of this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the provisions hereof that, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate provisions to be enforced in such proceeding, shall be deemed eliminated, for the purposes of such proceeding, from this Agreement.

Each of the parties hereto consents and agrees to, and agrees to cause the Company and the Subsidiaries to consent and agree to, the communication by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to the Company and Partners Group Parties in connection with any such representation of any fact known to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ arising by reason of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ prior representation of the Company, the Subsidiaries and the Partners Group Members.
