ARTICLE THREE
EXPENSES; FEES
3.01. Expenses. The Management Company shall pay except as otherwise provided in paragraph 6.01 of the Partnership Agreement, all day-to-day expenses of the Management Company, including general office overhead of the Management Company, such as rent, utilities, telecommunications, office furniture, equipment and salaries and employee
benefits expenses of employees of the Management Company, but excluding amounts paid or reimbursable pursuant to paragraphs 6.01(a), 6.01(b), 6.01(d), or 6.01(e) of the Partnership Agreement.
3.02. Management Fee, Maintenance Fee.
(a) In consideration of the Services, in addition to any other reimbursements or payments contemplated hereunder, the Management Company or an Affiliate of the Management Company designated by the Management Company shall be entitled to receive a management fee (the “Management Fee”) from the Partnership, calculated as provided below. The Management Fee shall be calculated and payable monthly by the Fund (directly or indirectly through an Intermediate Entity) in arrears on the last calendar day of each calendar month and shall be equal to, for each calendar month commencing six calendar months after the Initial Closing Date, in the aggregate, (i) 1.25% (per annum) of the Fund’s Net Asset Value attributable to the Class D Units, Class I Units and Class S Units and (ii) 1.00% (per annum) of the Net Asset Value of the Fund attributable to the Class R-D Units, Class R-I Units and Class R-S Units for a 36-month period following the six-month anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, and 1.25% (per annum) of the Net Asset Value of the Fund attributable to such Units thereafter. The Management Fee shall be payable by the Fund before giving effect to any accruals for the Management Fee, the Servicing Fee, the Performance Participation Allocation, the Maintenance Fee, Aggregator Unit redemptions (and pending redemptions), any distributions and without taking into account any accrued and unpaid taxes of any Intermediate Entity (or the receipts of such Intermediate Entity) through which the Fund indirectly invests in an Investment or any comparable entities of any other TPG Fund, or taxes paid by any such entity during the applicable month. The Partnership, any Feeder Fund and/or Parallel Investment Entity will each be obligated to bear (without duplication) its proportional share of the Management Fee based on its proportional interest in the Aggregator. The Management Company may elect to receive the Management Fee in cash, Units of the Partnership and/or any Parallel Investment Entity and/or shares, units or interests (as applicable) of Intermediate Entities (which may, for the avoidance of doubt, be paid or allocated directly by an Intermediate Entity). If the Management Fee is paid in Units, such Units may be redeemed by the Partnership at the Net Asset Value at the Management Company’s request and will be subject to the volume limitations in the Unit Redemption Program but not the early redemption deduction of the Unit Redemption Program. The Management Fee for each of (i) the first calendar month after the first six months following the Initial Closing Date and (ii) the last calendar month of the Partnership shall each be prorated for the number of days in such period.
(b) On a cumulative basis, the Management Fee payable by the Partnership shall be reduced (but not below zero) by an amount equal to 100% of the Partnership’s pro rata share of (i) Net Fee Income (subject to the last sentence of paragraph 5.03(e) of the Partnership Agreement), if any, received by the Management Company or any Affiliate of the Management Company, in each case in connection with such Person’s activities as a representative, or on behalf, of the Partnership, and (ii) carried interest, management fees or incentive fees paid or borne by the Partnership in connection with the Partnership’s Investments in other TPG Funds, but excluding Investments that are made in connection with interests in other TPG Funds purchased on the secondary market as part of a portfolio transaction; provided, that any non-cash
consideration that constitutes Net Fee Income shall not reduce the Management Fee until such non-cash consideration is disposed of for cash (in which case the reduction shall be determined based on the amount of cash received upon such disposition), or, if not disposed of prior to the disposition or other realization of the Investment with respect to which such non-cash consideration was received, as of the date of the disposition or other realization of such Investment (in which case the reduction shall be determined based on the Fair Value of such consideration as of the date of the disposition or other realization of such Investment). To the extent that the amount referred to in the preceding sentence exceeds the Management Fee due, such excess shall be carried forward to the immediately succeeding month.
(c) Maintenance Fee. Pursuant to paragraph 6.02 of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership (directly or indirectly through an Intermediate Entity) shall pay to the Management Company a maintenance fee (the “Maintenance Fee”). The Maintenance Fee shall be payable in cash monthly in arrears on the last calendar day of each calendar month and shall be equal to, in the aggregate, an annualized rate of 0.10% of the Net Asset Value of the Fund. The Maintenance Fee shall be payable by the Fund before giving effect to any accruals for the Management Fee, the Servicing Fee, the Performance Participation Allocation, Maintenance Fee, Aggregator Unit redemptions (and pending redemptions), any distributions and without taking into account any accrued and unpaid taxes of any Intermediate Entity (or the receipts of such Intermediate Entity) through which the Fund indirectly invests in an Investment or any comparable entities of any other TPG Fund, or taxes paid by any such entity during the applicable month. The Partnership, any Feeder Fund and any Parallel Investment Entity will each be obligated to bear (without duplication) its proportional share of the Maintenance Fee based on its proportional interest in the Aggregator.
(d) Organizational and Offering Expenses. The Management Company hereby agrees to advance all of the Fund’s organizational and offering expenses on the Fund’s behalf (including legal, accounting, advertising, printing, mailing, subscription processing and filing fees and expenses, expenses relating to any written agreements between the General Partner or the Partnership and Limited Partners, due diligence expenses of participating placement agents or financial intermediaries supported by detailed and itemized invoices, costs in connection with preparing, updating and distributing sales and offering materials, design, website and other technology and electronic-media related expenses, fees and expenses of each entity (including, as applicable, transfer agent, administrator and depository fees, fees paid to public relations firms, fees to attend seminars and conferences sponsored by participating broker-dealers or the Fund and reimbursements for customary travel, lodging, entertainment and meals and including all similar organizational and offering expenses of any Feeder Funds, Parallel Investment Entities and/or Intermediate Entities primarily organized to invest in the Fund to the extent not paid by such Feeder Funds, Parallel Investment Entities and/or Intermediate Entities or their investors, but excluding subscription fees and the Servicing Fee)) (collectively, “Organizational and Offering Expenses”) through the first anniversary of the Initial Closing Date. The Fund will be obligated to reimburse the Management Company for all such advanced Organizational and Offering Expenses within twelve (12) months following the first anniversary of the Initial Closing Date. Such advanced Organizational and Offering Expenses may be amortized, in the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion, for up to a sixty- (60-) month period beginning
from the first anniversary of the Initial Closing Date for purposes of calculating the Fund’s Net Asset Value, although U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require organizational expenses to be expensed when incurred. After the first anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, the Fund will be obligated to reimburse the Management Company for any Organizational and Offering Expenses that it has incurred after the first anniversary of the Initial Closing Date on each entity’s behalf as and when incurred. The Management Company will determine what Organizational and Offering Expenses are attributable to the Partnership or any Feeder Fund, Parallel Investment Entity or Intermediate Entity, in its sole discretion.
(e) Initial Fund Expenses Support. The Management Company may, in its discretion, forego all or a portion of its Management Fees and/or pay, absorb, or advance certain expenses to be borne by the Fund (“Initial Fund Expense Support”) such that the Fund’s annualized “Specified Expenses” (as defined below) during the calendar month for which such Initial Fund Expense Support is made do not exceed a certain percentage (such percentage to be determined by the Management Company in its sole discretion at the time each Initial Fund Expense Support is made, the “Specified Expense Percentage”) of the Fund’s Net Asset Value as of the end of each applicable month. The Fund shall reimburse the Management Company the amount of Initial Fund Expense Support made by the Management Company within three (3) years from the end of the month in which such Initial Fund Expense Support was made, when and if requested by the Management Company, but only if and to the extent that Specified Expenses plus any reimbursement do not exceed the Specified Expense Percentage (which was determined by the Management Company at the time such Initial Fund Expense Support was initially made) of the Fund’s Net Asset Value at the end of the month for which the reimbursement was made. The term “Specified Expenses” is defined to mean total expenses to be borne by the Fund including, for the avoidance of doubt, Organizational and Offering Expenses incurred after the first anniversary of the Initial Closing Date and expenses appropriately apportioned to the Fund relating to the Feeder Funds, Parallel Investment Entities and/or Intermediate Entities to the extent not paid by such Feeder Funds, Parallel Investment Entities and/or Intermediate Entities, in each case as determined pursuant to the terms contained in the Memorandum, the Partnership Agreement and this Agreement, but excluding (i) interest expenses, (ii) Servicing Fees, Management Fees, the Performance Participation Allocation, (iii) taxes, (iv) any fees, costs and other expenses related to Specialized Operational Services that are not allocated to or reimbursed by portfolio companies, (v) fees, costs and expenses payable to Y Analytics, (vi) Capital Markets Fees, (vii) costs and expenses (including any value added taxes or other sales taxes thereon) relating to Foreign Office Services, (viii) portfolio company level expenses, (ix) brokerage costs or other investment-related out-of-pocket expenses, including with respect to unconsummated transactions, (x) dividend payments (including any dividend payments, commitment fees, or other expenses related to any leverage incurred by the Fund) and (xi) extraordinary expenses (as determined in the sole discretion of the General Partner).
3.03. Break-Up Fees and Portfolio Fees.
(a) The Partnership hereby agrees that Break-Up Fees and Portfolio Fees shall be paid solely to the Management Company or its designated Affiliate and shall not be received by the Partnership or, if received by the Partnership, the Partnership shall not have any right to or
interest in such Break-Up Fees or Portfolio Fees and any such amounts shall promptly be paid over to the Management Company or its designated Affiliate and shall not be treated as income of the Partnership.
(b) The Partnership hereby agrees that any Capital Markets Fees shall be paid solely to TPG or its designated Affiliate and shall not be received by the Partnership or, if received by the Partnership, the Partnership shall not have any right to or interest in such fees, and any such amounts shall be paid over to TPG and shall not be treated as income of the Partnership.
ARTICLE FOUR
INDEMNIFICATION
4.01. Reimbursement, Exculpation and Indemnification.
(a) So long as an Indemnified Person (i) shall have acted in good faith, determined consistent with applicable law and the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) shall not have been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or in a final arbitration proceeding to be guilty of actual fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, a knowing and material breach of this Agreement or to have breached its fiduciary duties to the Partnership under applicable law (as modified by the provisions of this Agreement) and did not admit guilt in a settlement of any such claims, such Indemnified Person shall not be liable to any Partner or the Partnership in connection with any of the matters contemplated by this Agreement or actions taken by such person contemplated by this Agreement (A) for any mistake in judgment, (B) for any action or inaction taken or omitted or (C) for any loss due to the mistake, action, inaction or negligence of any broker or other agent that is not an Indemnified Person or the dishonesty, fraud or bad faith of any broker or other agent selected and monitored in good faith and with reasonable care. Any Indemnified Person may consult with legal counsel, tax advisors and accountants in respect of Partnership affairs and shall be fully protected and justified in taking or refraining from any action in good faith, in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel, advisors or accountants; provided, that they shall have been selected and monitored in good faith and with reasonable care. In determining whether an Indemnified Person acted in good faith and with the requisite degree of care, such Indemnified Person shall be entitled to rely on reports and written statements of the directors, officers and employees of a Person in which the Partnership holds Investments unless the Person to be exculpated hereby reasonably believed that such reports or statements were not true and complete.
(b) If an Indemnified Person (or any of its successors or assigns) was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, inquiry, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including any action by or in the right of the Partnership), by reason of any actions or omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of such Indemnified Person’s activities acting on behalf of the General Partner, the Partnership, an Affiliate of the Partnership, or a Portfolio Company, the Partnership shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify such Indemnified Person and hold such Indemnified Person harmless against losses, costs, claims, judgments, damages, settlement costs, fees or
related expenses for which such Person has not otherwise been reimbursed (including attorneys’ fees and fines) actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person arising out of or in connection with such action, suit or proceeding; provided, that all of the conditions described in clauses (i) through (vi) below are satisfied:
i. to the extent an action, suit or proceeding arises out of activities of the Indemnified Person, such activities were performed on behalf of the Partnership or in furtherance of the interests of the Partnership in Persons (and their Affiliates) in which the Partnership holds, or may seek to make, an Investment in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership;
ii. to the extent an action, suit or proceeding arises out of activities of the Indemnified Person, such activities were performed in a manner reasonably believed by such Indemnified Person to be within the scope of the authority conferred by this Agreement or by law or by the approval of the Independent Directors;
iii. such Indemnified Person (x) was not finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or in a final arbitration proceeding to be guilty of actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or a knowing and material breach of this Agreement, or to have breached its fiduciary duties to the Partnership under applicable law (as modified by the provisions of this Agreement) and did not admit guilt in a settlement of any such claims and (y) in respect of any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful;
iv. such Indemnified Person, if otherwise entitled to indemnification from the Partnership hereunder, shall first seek recovery under any insurance policies related to the Partnership or its Investments (including potential and former investments) by which such Person is covered and, if other than the Management Company, shall obtain the written consent of the Management Company, prior to entering into any compromise or settlement that would result in an obligation of the Partnership to indemnify such Person; and
v. if liabilities arise out of the conduct of the business and affairs of the Partnership and any other Person for which the Person entitled to indemnification from the Partnership hereunder was then acting in a similar capacity, the amount of the indemnification provided by the Partnership shall be limited to the Partnership’s proportionate share thereof as determined in good faith by the Management Company in light of its fiduciary duties to the Partnership and the Limited Partners.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, if an Indemnified Person may be entitled to be indemnified by a Portfolio Company for any liabilities or other losses as to which such Indemnified Person also would be entitled to be indemnified by the Partnership pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article Four (or by any Affiliate of the Partnership), (i) it is intended that such Portfolio Company shall be the full indemnitor of first resort for any such liabilities or other losses, which shall be the primary obligation of such Portfolio Company, and any obligation of the Partnership (or any such Affiliate) to provide indemnification or advancement for any such liabilities or
losses shall be secondary, (ii) any amount that the Partnership (or such Affiliate) is otherwise obligated to pay with respect to indemnification or advancement for such liabilities or losses will be reduced by the amount such Indemnified Person receives in respect of such indemnification or advancement from such Portfolio Company, (iii) the Indemnified Person will not be required first to exhaust rights or remedies with respect to indemnification or advancement provided by such Portfolio Company before the Partnership (or such Affiliate) makes any payment to such Indemnified Person, (iv) if the Portfolio Company does not pay such indemnification or advancement to or on behalf of the Indemnified Person for any reason, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to pursue any rights to advancement or indemnification hereunder (subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Article Four), and (v) if the Partnership (or such Affiliate) indemnifies, or advances payment for expenses, to such Indemnified Person with respect to such liabilities or losses, and such Indemnified Person may be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses from such Portfolio Company, the Partnership (or such Affiliate) may request that such Indemnified Person agree with the Partnership (or such Affiliate) that (x) the Partnership (or such Affiliate) will be fully subrogated to all rights of such Indemnified Person to indemnification or advancement of expenses from such Portfolio Company with respect to such payment, (y) such Indemnified Person will assign to the Partnership (or such Affiliate) all of the Indemnified Person’s rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses from such Portfolio Company and (z) such Indemnified Person will execute all documents and take all other actions appropriate to effectuate the foregoing clauses (x) and (y).
(d) To the extent that the Partnership has an obligation to any Indemnified Person pursuant to this Article Four and such Indemnified Person is also entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses from TPG, the Partnership’s obligations to such Indemnified Person shall be primary and any obligation of TPG to provide indemnification or advancement of expenses for the same losses or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Person shall be secondary.
(e) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any civil or criminal action, suit, inquiry or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Partnership’s business, the affairs of any Portfolio Company or any alleged or actual act or omission to act by any broker, agent, counsel or accountant of the Partnership, may be paid by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, inquiry or proceeding pursuant to a written agreement which provides, inter alia, that if such Indemnified Person is advanced such expenses and it is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or in a final arbitration proceeding that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such action, suit, inquiry or proceeding or if such Indemnified Person admitted guilt in a settlement of such action, suit, inquiry or proceeding, then such Indemnified Person shall reimburse the Partnership for such advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advances shall be made by the Partnership under this Article Four without the prior written approval of the General Partner (which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion with respect to any aspect thereof).
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership shall have no indemnification obligation in respect of liabilities of any Indemnified Person in such Person’s capacity as an
officer, director, partner, employee or agent of any Portfolio Company in which the Partnership no longer holds an Investment, to the extent such liabilities solely relate to the period after which the Partnership has sold or otherwise disposed of such Investment, unless such Indemnified Person was acting during such period on behalf of the Partnership.
(g) The provisions set forth in this Article Four shall not be construed to limit or exclude any other right to which an Indemnified Person may be lawfully entitled, shall survive the termination of such Indemnified Person in any capacity relating to the Partnership and may not be amended or modified to reduce the rights or benefits of an Indemnified Person, in each case, with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such Indemnified Person’s termination.
