3       THE PERSONS, whose names and addresses are set out in Part 2 of the

RECITALS

A       The General Partner and Brian Phillips (the "Initial Partners") executed
        a limited partnership agreement on 5 April 2007 (the "Original
        Partnership Agreement") by virtue of which they established a limited
        partnership under the name "GCP Europe General Partnership L.P." for the
        purpose of acting as the general partner of, and carried interest
        partner in, two English limited partnerships to be known as Greenhill
        Capital Partners Europe, L.P. and Greenhill Capital Partners Europe
        (Employees) L.P. and with a view to producing Profits for distribution
        in accordance with this Agreement.

B       The Initial Partners have agreed to restate the original Partnership
        Agreement, admit new Limited Partners and increase the capital of the
        Partnership.

C       The Partners shall subscribe, in aggregate, the sum of (pound)1,000 to
        the capital of the Partnership in the proportions set out in Part 1 of
        the Schedule or as separately notified to each Partner by the General
        Partner to enable the Partnership to subscribe the same amount (or a
        proportion thereof), in its capacity as the carried interest partner, to
        Greenhill Capital Partners Europe, L.P. and Greenhill Capital Partners
        Europe (Employees) L.P. as a contribution to their respective
        partnership capital. Such capital contribution to the Partnership shall
        be subject to adjustment as provided in Clause 5.1.

D       The Limited Partners in addition agree to advance to the Partnership
        their Investment Contributions in the proportions set out in Part 1 of
        the Schedule (as adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement)
        and Investment Commitments in the Investment Funding Percentages to
        enable the Partnership, as an investor, to subscribe for aggregate
        commitments in Greenhill Capital Partners Europe, L.P. and Greenhill
        Capital Partners Europe (Employees) L.P. of, in aggregate, not less than
        (pound)25 million (and the General Partner shall determine in its sole
        discretion whether such commitment is made to Greenhill Capital Partners
        Europe, L.P. or Greenhill Capital Partners Europe (Employees) L.P. or
        whether such commitment shall be split between the two in such
        proportions as the General Partner may determine). Such sums will be
        drawn down by the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this
        Agreement.




E       The intention of the parties is to ensure that the Partners shall
        together be entitled to all income and capital accruing to the
        Partnership in its capacity as a partner of Greenhill Capital Partners
        Europe, L.P. and Greenhill Capital Partners Europe (Employees) L.P.,
        such income and capital to be shared as provided in this Agreement.

F       The Initial Limited Partners wish to amend and restate the terms of the
        Original Agreement by executing this Agreement.

G       Greenhill Europe and the persons named in Part 2 of the Schedule who are
        not Initial Partners will, upon the execution of this Agreement, be
        admitted as Limited Partners.

H       The Partnership has been registered as a limited partnership in Scotland
        under the Limited Partnerships Act 1907 with registered number SL006034.

IT IS HEREBY AGREED by the General Partner and by the Limited Partners
consenting to the execution of this Amended and Restated Limited Partnership

              such time as it is the general


                                       11



              partner of each of the partnerships within Greenhill Capital
              Partners Europe, priority profit shares (the "GCPE General
              Partner's Share") from each of the partnerships within Greenhill
              Capital Partners Europe.

4.2           On or before the date of this Agreement, and subsequently on or
              before each Accounting Date, the Partnership shall open and
              maintain an account in relation to the period to the next
              following Accounting Date (the "GPS Relevant Period"), in which it
              shall record its receipts of GCPE General Partner's Share from
              Greenhill Capital Partners Europe.

4.3           In order to determine the allocation of GCPE General Partner's
              Share among the Partners and the distribution of available funds
              in respect of GCPE General Partner's Share in each GPS Relevant
              Period, the General Partner shall, on or before the Accounting
              Date at the commencement of each GPS Relevant Period, allocate a
              number of points in relation to the GCPE General Partner's Share
              ("GPS Profit Points") to each of the Partners, including for the
              avoidance of doubt the General Partner, (with an aggregate of
              1,000 GPS Profit Points being allocated in respect of each GPS
              Relevant Period). For the avoidance of doubt, all of the GPS
              Profit Points in respect of any GPS Relevant Period shall be
              allocated at the sole discretion of the General Partner and may be
              allocated entirely to the General Partner. Unless the General
              Partner otherwise determines (and accordingly allocates GPS Profit
              Points), no Limited Partner shall be entitled to participate in
              the GPS Profits of the Partnership by reason of being a Limited
              Partner. The GPS Sharing Percentage of each of the Partners in
              respect of each GPS Relevant Period shall be determined by
              calculating the number of GPS Profit Points (if any) allocated to
              such Partner as a percentage of the aggregate number of GPS Profit
              Points (being 1,000) allocated in such GPS Relevant Period. The
              General Partner may elect which items comprised within the GCPE
              General Partner's Share shall form the whole or part of the GPS
              Profits allocated to a particular Partner.

4.4           All GPS Profits arising in any GPS Relevant Period shall be
              allocated as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt on
              the basis of the number GPS Profit Points (if any) held by the
              relevant Partner.

4.5           All available GPS Profits shall be distributed as soon as
              reasonably practicable following receipt.

4.6           The Partnership shall open and maintain a revenue account (the
              "GPS Revenue Account") showing all its receipts (including income
              and capital) of GPS Profits from Greenhill Capital Partners Europe
              and any expenses or losses it incurs in respect of such interest
              as the general partner of Greenhill Capital Partners Europe.

4.7           In addition, each Partner from time to time entitled to
              participate in GPS Profts shall have an account (a "GPS Memorandum
              Account") to which GPS Profits allocated to such Partner shall be
              credited. Amounts credited to the GPS Memorandum Account of any
              Partner shall be debited to the GPS Revenue Account of the
              Partnership. All entries on the GPS Memorandum Account of any
              Partner shall be made in order of allocation of GPS Profits and a
              cumulative total shall be kept following each entry of the balance
              on each GPS Memorandum Account. Distributions made to Partners in
              respect of GPS Profits shall be debited to the GPS Memorandum
              Account of the relevant Partner.

              amount as the General Partner may determine) of Carried Interest
              Contribution to the Partnership in the proportions equal to the
              proportion of the Carry Profit Points allocated to each Partner in
              respect of the following Accounting Period against the aggregate
              of all Carry Profit Points allocated to all Partners in respect of
              the following Accounting Period. Alternatively, such Carried
              Interest Contribution may be made by the Partners in such amounts
              as the General Partner may determine at the same time as loans are
              drawn down under the Greenhill Capital Partners Europe Partnership
              Agreements.

5.1.4         In circumstances where the General Partner determines that an
              individual or individuals should be allocated an Introducer
              Percentage in respect of any Investment within an Annual Pool,
              such individual or individuals shall make a Capital Contribution
              to the Partnership of such amount as the General Partner may
              determine. The Capital Contribution of the Introducer determined
              by the General Partner shall be in excess of the amount which
              would result if the Capital Contribution was calculated on the
              basis that the relevant Investment in respect of which the
              Introducer Percentage is to be awarded is the only Investment in
              the relevant Annual Pool and that the participants in the Annual
              Pool are making a capital contribution of (pound)1,000 (or such
              greater amount as the participants are required to commit in
              respect of the relevant Annual Pool pursuant to Clause 5.1.3) in
              respect of the Annual Pool Percentage. Accordingly the aggregate
              Capital Contribution payable by the Individuals awarded an
              Introducer Percentage (with each individual paying their pro rata
              share according to the proportion of the Introducer Percentage
              awarded to them) shall be calculated so as not to be less than the
              result obtained according to the following formula:

              {1,000    }
              {-----x100}-1,000=z
              {  y      }

              where:


                                       13



              y     is the Annual Pool Percentage; and

              z     is the aggregate Capital Contribution, expressed in pounds
                    sterling, of the individuals being awarded an Introducer
                    percentage,

              PROVIDED THAT if the amount of the Capital Contribution to be
              advanced by the participants in an Annual Pool is in excess of
              (pound)1,000 pursuant to the provisions of Clause 5.1.3, the
              figure of 1,000 in the equation set out above shall be substituted
              for the figure of the aggregate Capital Contribution subscribed by
              participants in the Annual Pool in respect of such Annual Pool.

5.1.5         In the event that the General Partner determined to create
              Reserved Carry Points pursuant to Clause 5.2.6 at the time Carry
              Profit Points are allocated in respect of any Annual Pool, the
              General Partner shall not be required to make a Capital
              Contribution in respect of such Reserved Carry Points (under the
              methodology in Clause 5.1.3 above) at the time such Reserved Carry
              Points are initially allocated to it. In the event that the
              Reserved Carry Points are not reallocated pursuant to Clause
              5.2.6, the General Partner shall make a Capital Contribution
              equivalent to that which it would have made at the time the Carry
              Profit Points in respect of the relevant Annual Pool were
              initially allocated. In the event that the Reserved Carry Points
              are reallocated pursuant to the provisions of Clause 5.2.6, the
              Partners to whom such reallocation is made shall be required to
              make a new or additional Capital Contribution according to the
              methodology set out in Clause 5.1.3 above in respect of the
              Reserved Carry Points. In the event that the General Partner
              determines that it is to make a reallocation of Reserved Carry
              Points at the time the Carried Interest in respect of the Annual
              Pool has value, the General Partner may require any Partner being
              allocated Reserved Carry Points to make an increased Capital
              Contribution in such amount as the General Partner may determine
              based on its assessment of the value of the Carried Interest in
              respect of the relevant Annual Pool.

5.1.6         Each of the Partners shall have an account (a "Carry Contribution
              Account") to which his aggregate Carry Contribution shall be
              credited.

5.1.7         The Carry Contributions shall not carry interest.

5.2           ALLOCATION OF CARRY POINTS

5.2.1         The General Partner shall allocate the total Carry Points for the
              initial Annual Pool (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt,
              comprise investments made from the date of this Agreement until
              the first Accounting Date (or investments made prior to such date
              which were warehoused with the intention that they be contributed
              to Greenhill Capital Partners Europe)) as shown in Part 1 of the
              Schedule.

5.2.2         On or before each Accounting Date the General Partner, acting in
              its sole discretion, shall allocate a number of points ("Carry
              Profit Points") to each of the Partners (with an aggregate of
              1,000 Carry Profit Points being allocated in respect of each
              Annual Pool). Once the allocation of Carry Profit Points in
              respect of each Annual Pool has been notified to the Partners the
              General Partner determines should participate in such Annual Pool,
              the allocations shall not be capable of alteration at a later
              date, other than as provided in this Agreement.


                                       14



5.2.3         Each Accounting Period of the Partnership shall be deemed a
              separate annual pool (each, an "Annual Pool") for the purposes of
              calculating the entitlement of Partners to Carry Profits.
              Investments made by Greenhill Capital Partners Europe during any
              Accounting Period will be allocated to and form part of the Annual
              Pool established in respect of such Accounting Period. The
              entitlement, as between Partners, to Carry Profits arising from
              Investments allocated to any Annual Pool shall be pro rata to the
              number of Carry Profit Points held by each Partner in respect of
              such Annual Pool. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Partner has
              not been allocated Carry Profit Points in respect of any Annual
              Pool, they shall not be entitled to participate in Carry Profits
              arising from the Investments allocated to such Annual Pool.

5.2.4         The General Partner may, acting in its sole discretion, determine
              that an individual or individuals who have introduced an
              investment opportunity to Greenhill Capital Partners Europe should
              be awarded a proportion of the Carried Interest arising on an
              Investment completed in respect of the introduced investment
              opportunity. The General Partner shall determine the proportion of
              the Carried Interest arising on such Investment which should be
              awarded to the Introducer(s) at the time the Investment is made.
              Such proportion of the Carried Interest in respect of such
              Investment shall be reflected in the Introducers Percentage, with
              the remainder falling into the Annual Pool of which the Investment
              forms part through the Annual Pool Percentage. Participation in
              the Carry Profits arising on such Investment shall be pro rata to,
              respectively, the Introducers Percentage and the Annual Pool
              Percentage (with the entitlement of participants in the Annual
              Pool being determined according to their respective Carry Profit
              Points allocated to them in respect of such Annual Pool and the
              entitlement of the Introducers being determined according to their
              pro rata share of the Introducers Percentage awarded to them). In
              the event that the General Partner determines that no Introducers
              Percentage will be awarded, the Annual Pool Percentage will be
              100% and all Carry Profits arising in relation to that Investment
              will go to the Annual Pool. In relation to any Investment in
              respect of which an Introducers Percentage is awarded, this fact
              and the percentage level (and the entitlement of each Introducer,
              if more than one) will be recorded in Part 1 of the Schedule. For
              the avoidance of doubt, Introducers shall be deemed to be
              participants in the relevant Annual Pool to the extent of their
              Investment Percentage.

5.2.5         In the event that the Introducers Percentage of the Carry Profits
              received by the Partnership in relation to an Investment are less
              than the Introducers Percentage of the Notional Carried Interest
              in respect of such Investment (by reason of the methodology in the
              Greenhill Capital Partners Europe Partnership Agreements relating
              to write-offs, write-downs and realisations at a loss), the
              entitlement of the Introducer shall be to the Introducers
              Percentage of the Notional Carried Interest. The General Partner
              may apply Carry Profits from the relevant realisation or the
              subsequent realisation of Investments within the Annual Pool of
              which the relevant Investment forms part in satisfaction of the
              balance of the Introducers Percentage of the Notional Carried
              Interest on the relevant Investment not previously met by the
              application of Carry Profits (provided always that the entitlement
              shall never exceed the Investors Percentage of the Notional
              Carried Interest) and such application of the Carry Profits on the
              subsequent realisation shall reduce the Annual Pool Percentage of
              the relevant Investment being realised. In addition, if there are
              no subsequent realisations


                                       15



              within the Annual Pool which, in the reasonable discretion of the
              General Partner, are likely to give rise to Carry Profits, the
              General Partner may apply Carry Profits previously distributed to
              participants in the Annual Pool in satisfaction of the Notional
              Carried Interest in relation to the relevant Investment and may
              transfer amounts from the Gain Sub-Accounts of the participants in
              the Annual Pool accordingly (subject to making any adjustments
              which it may determine are necessary to ensure that the tax
              liabilities of participants in the Annual Pool are dealt with in
              an equitable manner).

5.2.6         Any Limited Partner, other than Introducers in accordance with the
              provisions of Clause 5.2.4 above, admitted to the Partnership
              pursuant to Clause 3 shall at the earliest (subject to the
              provisions of Clause 5.2.7 below) be allocated Carry Profit Points
              in respect of the Annual Pool commencing after the relevant
              Limited Partner's Admission Date (and shall participate in Carry
              Profits arising in respect of such Annual Pool and thereafter (in
              each case assuming that the General Partner determines to allocate
              Carry Profit Points in respect of the relevant Annual Pool)). On
              or before the first Accounting Date on which the new Limited
              Partner is awarded Carry Profit Points, the relevant Limited
              Partner will be required to contribute an amount of Carry
              Contribution calculated pursuant to Clause 5.1.

5.2.7         Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
              General Partner may determine, in its sole discretion, to reserve
              a portion of the Carry Profit Points in relation to any Annual
              Pool (the "Reserved Carry Points"). The Reserve Carry Points shall
              initially be allocated to the General Partner, but it may
              (although it is not obliged to do so) choose to reallocate all or
              part of the Reserved Carry Points at any time prior to 31 December
              of the year in respect of which the Reserved Carry Points
              initially fell to be allocated. The General Partner shall not be
              obliged to reallocate Reserved Carry Points and in particular may
              choose not to do so where it determines that there are specific
              tax or other reasons why such allocation should not be made (and,
              for the avoidance of doubt, this may include circumstances in
              which it determines that the Carried Interest in respect of the
              Annual Pool has value). In the event that the Reserved Carry
              Points are re-allocated pursuant to the provisions of this Clause
              5.2.7, Part 1 of the Schedule shall be updated to reflect the
              reallocation. Following such reallocation, participants in the
              Annual Pool will be entitled to participate in Carry Profits
              arising in respect of such Annual Pool according to their revised
              Carry Profit Sharing Percentages. Reserved Carry Points can be
              allocated to existing participants in the Annual Pool, to
              Introducers or to new Limited Partners, providing in each case
              that the provisions of Clause 5.1.5 are complied with.

5.2.8         Following the allocation of Carry Profit Points to Partners
              pursuant to the provisions of this Clause 5.2, Part 1 of the
              Schedule shall be updated by the General Partner to record the
              Carry Profit Points awarded to each Partner in relation to the
              Annual Pools in which they are participating and their respective
              Carry Profit Sharing Percentages in respect of such Annual Pools.

5.3           ALLOCATION OF CARRY PROFITS

5.3.1         Carry Profits relating to any Investment shall be allocated to the
              Introducers of such Investment according to the relevant
              Introducers Percentage and to the Annual Pool of which such
              Investment forms part according to the Annual Pool


                                       16



              Percentage. Such Carry Profits shall be allocated as soon as
              practicable following receipt.

5.3.2         Carry Profits arising in respect of an Annual Pool shall be
              allocated between Partners participating in such Annual Pool as
              soon as practicable following receipt.

5.3.3         The allocation, as between Partners, of Carry Profits arising in
              respect of any Annual Pool shall be calculated according to the
              Carry Profit Sharing Percentage of the Partners in respect of the
              relevant Annual Pool.

5.4           MAINTENANCE OF CARRIED INTEREST REVENUE ACCOUNTS

              The Partnership shall open and maintain a revenue account in
              respect of each Annual Pool showing all its receipts (including
              income and capital) of Carried Interest from Greenhill Capital
              Partners Europe in respect of Investments forming part of such
              Annual Pool and any expenses or losses it incurs in respect of
              such Investments in its capacity as the carried interest partner
              (each a "Carried Interest Revenue Account"). The General Partner
              may determine that it will designate a separate sub-account within
              each Carried Interest Revenue Account in respect of the individual
              Investments forming part of the relevant Annual Pool, and will do
              so in circumstances where an Introducers Percentage has been
              awarded in respect of such Investment. All such receipts of
              Carried Interest relating to an Annual Pool shall be credited to
              the Carried Interest Revenue Account relating to such Annual Pool.

5.5           MAINTENANCE OF CARRY MEMORANDUM ACCOUNTS

              In addition, each of the Partners participating in the Carry
              Profits relating to any Annual Pool or Investment (as applicable)
              shall have an account in respect of such Annual Pool or Investment
              (as applicable) (a "Carry Memorandum Account") to which Carried
              Interest allocated to such Partner (pursuant to Clause 5.3) will
              be credited. Amounts credited to the Carry Memorandum Accounts of
              Partners shall be debited to the relevant Carried Interest Revenue
              Account of the Partnership in respect of the applicable Annual
              Pool. All entries on the Carry Memorandum Accounts of the Partners
              shall be made in order of allocation of Carried Interest and a
              cumulative total shall be kept following each entry of the balance
              on each Partner's Carry Memorandum Accounts. Distributions made to
              any Partner in respect of Carried Interest arising in relation to
              an Annual Pool (or any payments into the Investment Accounts of
              any Partner pursuant to Clause 5.6) shall be debited to the
              applicable Carry Memorandum Accounts of Partners.

5.6           DISTRIBUTIONS

5.6.1         All available funds arising in respect of Carry Profits in
              relation to any Investment shall be distributed to Introducers and
              to the participants in the relevant Annual Pool at such time as
              the General Partner shall in its sole discretion determine,
              subject to the provisions of Clause 5.6.2 below.

5.6.2         Notwithstanding the above, at least 40% of the Carry Profits to
              which a Partner is entitled by reason of his participation in an
              Annual Pool (subject to the provisions of Clause 5.7) shall be
              distributed to such Partner and up to 60% of such Carry Profits
              shall be retained by the Partnership in the Partner's Investment


                                       17



              Account, which shall be operated pursuant to the provisions of
              Clause 7 (in each case as the General Partner determines in its
              sole discretion).

5.7           LEAVER PROVISIONS

5.7.1         In the event that any Limited Partner becomes a Leaver (whether
              such Limited Partner is classified as a Good Leaver or Bad
              Leaver), such Limited Partner shall no longer receive any new
              allocations of Carry Profit Points in respect of any Annual Pool
              and such Limited Partner's Carry Profit Points in respect of any
              Annual Pools in which the relevant Limited Partner is
              participating shall be subject to reduction or forfeiture in
              accordance with this Clause 5.7. Subject to Clause 5.7.2, upon the
              complete liquidation of all Investments held within any Annual
              Pool in which the relevant Limited Partner who is a Leaver is
              participating, such Limited Partner shall cease to be a Partner in
              the Partnership and shall not be entitled to further distributions
              of Carry Profits.

5.7.2         In the event that a Limited Partner becomes a Leaver in
              circumstances constituting him as a Bad Leaver, the relevant
              Limited Partner shall immediately forfeit all Carry Profit Points
              held in respect of each Annual Pool in which such Limited Partner
              is participating (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such Limited
              Partner shall not be entitled to any further allocation of Carry
              Profits). In the event that a Leaver is, on his Departure Date (or
              subsequently) classified as a Bad Leaver, and has his Carry Profit
              Points forfeited:

              5.7.2.1   the relevant Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited
                        Partner in the Partnership and shall be paid the amount
                        standing to the Credit of his Carry Contribution
                        Account; and

              5.7.2.2   the Carry Profit Points allocated to such Limited
                        Partner in respect of each Annual Pool in which he was
                        participating shall be re-allocated according to the
                        provisions of Clause 5.8.

5.7.3         In the event that a Limited Partner becomes a Good Leaver and any
              of the following circumstances apply:

                        Related Executive of such Limited Partner) ceases to be
                        an Executive by reason of death;

              5.7.3.3   such Limited Partner (or the Related Executive of such
                        Limited Partner) ceases to be an Executive by reason of
                        Retirement;

              5.7.3.4   such Limited Partner (or the Related Executive of such
                        Limited Partner) ceases to be an Executive by reason of
                        termination of employment without Cause (as determined
                        by the General Partner in its sole discretion) within
                        two years following the occurrence of a Change in
                        Control or upon termination of employment without Cause
                        (as determined by the General Partner in its sole
                        discretion) six months prior to the occurrence


                                       18



                        of a Change in Control if the General Partner, acting
                        reasonably and in good faith, that such termination was
                        at the behest of the acquiring entity;

              5.7.3.5   such Limited Partner (or the Related Executive of such
                        Limited Partner) ceases to be an Executive by reason of
                        Constructive Discharge; or

              5.7.3.6   such Limited Partner becomes a Leaver in such other
                        circumstances as the General Partner acting in its sole
                        discretion deems appropriate

              such Limited Partner shall be entitled to retain all Carry Profit
              Points in respect of each Annual Pool in which he was
              participating at his Departure Date and participate in all Carry
              Profits arising in respect of such Annual Pool in the proportion
              determined according to the provisions of this Agreement.

5.7.4         In the event that any Limited Partner becomes a Leaver and is
              classified as a Good Leaver (other than in the circumstances set
              out in Clause 5.7.3) the relevant Limited Partner shall retain his
              Relevant Proportion of the Carry Profit Points of each Annual Pool
              in which he is participating (and shall be entitled to receive
              Carry Profits arising in relation to such retained Carry Profit
              Points). The Relevant Proportion shall be calculated separately in
              relation to each Annual Pool in which the relevant Limited Partner
              is participating and in respect of each Annual Pool shall be as
              follows:

              5.7.4.1   25% of his Carry Profit Points on 1 January following
                        the year in which Investments comprised in the
                        applicable Annual Pool were made;

              5.7.4.2   50% of his Carry Profit Points on 1 January of the
                        second year following the year in which Investments
                        comprised in the applicable Annual Pool were made;

              5.7.4.3   75% of his Carry Profit Points on 1 January of the third
                        year following the year in which Investments comprised
                        in the applicable Annual Pool were made; and

              5.7.4.4   100% of his Carry Profit Points on 1 January of the
                        fourth year following the year in which Investments
                        comprised in the applicable Annual Pool were made

              PROVIDED THAT a Limited Partner will be vested with respect to
              100% of any Carry Profits attributable to an Investment to the
              extent realised prior to the relevant Limited Partner's Departure
              Date. The Carry Profit Points of any Limited Partner which have
              not vested on his Departure Date shall be reallocated as provided
              in Clause 5.8.

5.8           In the event that Carry Profit Points awarded to any Limited
              Partner participating in an Annual Pool become available for
              reallocation, such Carry Profit Points shall, unless otherwise
              determined by the General Partner in its discretion, be allocated
              to the other Partners participating in such Annual Pool on a pro
              rata


                                       19



              basis according to the Carry Profit Points they hold in relation
              to such Annual Pool.

5.9           In the event of the death of a Limited Partner who is an
              Executive, such Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited
              Partner in the Partnership and such Limited Partner's heirs,
              executors, administrators or other representatives (as applicable)
              shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner in place
              of the deceased Limited Partner. The General Partner shall furnish
              to such Limited Partner being admitted to the Partnership pursuant
              to this Clause such information relating to the Partnership's
              affairs as such Limited Partner shall reasonably request in order
              to enable such Limited Partner to prepare and file tax returns and
              conduct audits or other proceedings relating to such tax returns.

5.10          In the event that an Introducer who is awarded an Introducers
              Percentage (or part thereof) in relation to any Investment becomes
              a Leaver, the provisions of this Clause 5 (in so far as they apply
              to Leavers) shall apply to the Introducer in respect of his
              Introducers Percentage in the same manner as if he were a
              participant in an Annual Pool and his Introducers Percentage were
              Carry Profit Points, provided that in the event that all or any
              part of the Introducers Percentage would fall to be reallocated,
              it may be reallocated to the General Partner or to the Annual Pool
              in respect of which the Investment forms part (and such
              re-allocation shall be determined in the sole discretion of the
              General Partner).

5.11          CLAWBACK OBLIGATION

5.11.1        In the event that a return of cash to Greenhill Capital Partners
              Europe is required to satisfy the provisions of the Greenhill
              Capital Partners Europe Partnership Agreements (the "Clawback
              Obligation"), the Partnership shall satisfy the Clawback
              Obligation first by applying the Clawback Obligation against
              participants in the Annual Pools on the following basis:

              5.11.1.1  first by payment from each Partner's Investment Account
                        based on the relevant Partner's Pro Rata Share of the
                        Clawback Obligation; and

              5.11.1.2  then each Partner shall be required to make a payment
                        pursuant to Clause 5.11.2 in an amount equal to such
                        Partner's Pro Rata Share of the Clawback Obligation,
                        less amounts paid pursuant to Clause 5.11.1.1 above.

              For the purposes of this Clause 5.11.1, the "Pro Rata Share" of
              each Partner shall be determined: (i) first, based on such
              Partner's Loss Amount, but never to exceed the aggregate Carry
              Profits distributed to such Partner (including amounts held within
              the Gain Sub-Account of each Partner's Investment Account) and
              (ii) thereafter, with respect to any excess Clawback Obligation
              existing after the application of (i) of this definition, then
              based on the aggregate Carry Profits distributed to each Partner
              including amounts held in such Partner's Gain Sub-Accounts after
              giving effect to (i) of this definition.

              To the extent that the Clawback Obligation cannot be satisfied in
              full by the Participants in the Annual Pool, then each Introducer
              shall be required to make a


                                       20



              payment up to the Clawback Obligation pursuant to Clause 5.11.2
              pro rata to the aggregate Carry Profits distributed to each
              Introducer.

5.11.2        The obligations in Clause 5.11.1 shall be subject to the following
              limitations:

              5.11.2.1  the maximum amount that may be required to be returned
                        by any Partner or former Partner pursuant to the
                        provisions of Clause 5.11.1 shall be equal to the lesser
                        of:

                        (i)   the aggregate amount of cash distributed to the
                              Partner or former Partner by way of Carried
                              Interest together with the aggregate value (as
                              determined pursuant to the Greenhill Capital
                              Partners Europe Partnership Agreements) of any
                              assets of the Partnership which have been
                              distributed in specie to that Partner or former
                              Partner, in each case net of any taxes paid or
                              payable in respect thereof (whether by that
                              Partner or former Partner or another person) and
                              not recoverable;

                        (ii)  the amount determined in respect of that Partner
                              or former Partner pursuant to Clause 5.11.1; and

                        (iii) the aggregate amount of cash distributed to that
                              Partner or former Partner as Carried Interest
                              together with the aggregate value (at the date of
                              the termination of the Fund) of any assets which
                              have been distributed in specie to that Partner or
                              former Partner or (if any of such assets have been
                              sold at a higher price) the proceeds of sale of
                              such assets, in each case such aggregate amount
                              shall be net of any taxes paid or payable in
                              respect thereof (whether by that Partner or former
                              Partner or another person) and not recoverable;

              5.11.2.2  the liability of each of the Partners or former Partner
                        pursuant to Clause 5.11.1 shall be several; and

              5.11.2.3  the General Partner will use all reasonable endeavours
                        to procure that each Partner or former Partner repay all
                        monies properly repayable to the Partnership pursuant to
                        and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

5.11.3        The several liability (referred to in Clause 5.11.2.2 and defined
              in Clause 5.11.4 below) of each of the Partners or former Partners
              shall continue until any repayment required by the provisions of
              this Clause 5.11 have been made notwithstanding that the Partner
              may at such time have ceased to be a limited partner of the
              Partnership.

5.11.4        For the purposes of Clause 5.11.2.2 above, the expression
              "several" shall mean that each Partner or former Partner shall be
              liable only to the extent of the amount repayable by such Partner
              or former Partner under the provisions of Clauses 5.11.1 and
              5.11.2 above and shall not, in any circumstances, be liable for
              the amounts (or any part thereof) repayable by any of the other
              Partners or former Partners under the provisions of Clauses 5.11.1

6             FINANCIAL PROVISIONS IN RELATION TO THE PARTNERSHIP AS AN INVESTOR
              IN GREENHILL CAPITAL PARTNERS EUROPE

6.1           INVESTMENT CONTRIBUTIONS

6.1.1         The Partners have agreed to advance, in aggregate, their
              Investment Contributions to the Partnership in the proportions set
              out in Part 1 of the Schedule or as separately notified to each
              Partner by the General Partner. The aggregate Investment
              Contributions of all the Partners shall be not less than (pound)25
              million. In the event that prior to the final closing of Greenhill
              Capital Partners Europe, a Partner makes an additional commitment
              to invest in Greenhill Capital Partners Europe, such Partner shall
              make an additional Investment Contribution (and corresponding
              Investment Commitment) in respect of the additional amounts of
              capital contribution (and loan commitment) which the Partnership
              will be required to advance to Greenhill Capital Partners Europe.

6.1.2         Each Partner making an Investment Contribution to the Partnership
              shall have an account (an "Investment Contribution Account") to
              which their respective Investment Contributions shall be credited.

6.1.3         The Investment Contributions shall not carry interest.

6.1.4         In the event that a Limited Partner making an Investment
              Contribution to the Partnership becomes a Leaver, and the
              Investment Sharing Percentage of such Limited Partner is
              accordingly reduced pursuant to Clause 6.11, the relevant Limited
              Partner shall transfer to the relevant person acquiring the
              interest a proportion of his Investment Contribution equal to the
              proportion by which his Investment Sharing Percentage is reduced.
              Such transfer shall be at par value. Each of the Limited Partners
              holding an Investment Contribution hereby irrevocably appoints the
              General Partner as his attorney to execute any deeds or other
              documents and to perform any and all acts required in order to
              give effect to such transfer.

6.1.5         Where a Limited Partner has made a direct commitment to either
              Greenhill Capital Partners Europe, L.P. or Greenhill Capital
              Partners Europe (Employees) L.P., the General Partner may, in its
              sole discretion, determine that all or a portion of such
              commitment should be channelled through the Partnership. In the
              event that such determination is made, the relevant Limited
              Partner will be deemed to have made an Investment Contribution and
              Investment Commitment equal to the portion of the commitment which
              is determined should be made through the Partnership and the
              provisions of this Clause 6 shall apply to such Investment
              Contribution and Investment Commitment.

6.2           INVESTMENT COMMITMENT

6.2.1         Each Partner shall be required to advance to the Partnership their
              Investment Commitment. Such Investment Commitment shall be
              advanced in such tranches as shall be determined by the Manager
              (on not less than 3 Business Days' notice). The General Partner
              shall draw down loans from the Partners pro rata to their
              respective Investment Funding Percentages from time to time. Each
              Partner holding an Investment Commitment shall be required to
              re-advance such Investment Commitment if the Partnership is itself
              required to advance or re-


                                       22



              advance monies to Greenhill Capital Partners Europe pursuant to
              the provisions of the Greenhill Capital Partners Europe
              Partnership Agreements. Each Partner making an Investment
              Commitment to the Partnership shall have an account (an
              "Investment Commitment Account") in relation to each Investment in
              respect of which a draw down of Investment Commitment is made to
              which their respective Investment Commitment in respect of such
              Investment shall be debited.

6.2.2         In the event that a Partner fails to advance to the Partnership
              the amount which is the subject of a draw down notice issued
              pursuant to Clause 6.2.1 on or before the expiry of such drawdown
              notice, then such Partner shall be required to remedy such default
              and to pay interest to the Partnership on the amount outstanding
              for the period from the date of expiry of the drawdown notice up
              to the date of payment thereof at the rate of 10% per annum, on or
              before the expiry of 30 days' notice from the General Partner
              requiring the Partner so to do.

6.2.3         Loans advanced to the Partnership in respect of the Investment
              Commitment shall not carry interest.

6.3           INVESTMENT FUNDING PERCENTAGES

              The Investment Funding Percentage of each Partner in relation to
              any Investment shall be calculated by determining his Investment
              Contribution as a percentage of the aggregate Investment
              Contributions made by the Partners at the date the Investment was
              made.

6.4           CALCULATION OF INVESTMENT SHARING PERCENTAGES

              The Investment Sharing Percentage of each Partner making an
              Investment Commitment in relation to any Investment shall be
              calculated by determining his Investment Commitment drawn down in
              respect of such Investment as a percentage of the aggregate
              Investment Commitments drawn down from all Partners participating
              in such Investment at the date the Investment was made.

6.5           ALLOCATION OF INVESTMENT PROFITS

6.5.1         Investment Profits arising in respect of any Investment shall be
              allocated among the Partners participating in such Investment
              according to their Investment Sharing Percentages in relation to
              such Investment. Investment Profits in relation to an Investment
              shall be allocated as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt
              and shall first be credited to the applicable Investment
              Commitment Accounts of the Partners and thereafter to their
              applicable Investment Memorandum Accounts.

6.5.2         To the extent that any losses are allocated to the Partnership
              pursuant to the provisions of the Greenhill Capital Partners
              Europe Partnership Agreements, such losses shall be allocated
              between Partners participating in the Investment giving rise to
              the losses in accordance with their Investment Sharing
              Percentages.

6.6           MAINTENANCE OF INVESTMENT REVENUE ACCOUNTS

              The Partnership shall open and maintain a revenue account in
              respect of each Investment (an "Investment Revenue Account")
              showing all its receipts (including income and capital) from

                                       23



              capacity as an Investor and any expenses and losses it incurs in
              respect of such Investment.

6.7           MAINTENANCE OF INVESTMENT MEMORANDUM ACCOUNTS

              In addition, each Partner having an Investment Commitment in
              respect of an Investment to which Investment Profits allocated to
              such Partner pursuant to this Clause 6 shall be credited. In the
              event that losses are allocated to a Partner pursuant to the
              provisions of Clause 6.5.2 above, appropriate debits shall be made
              to the Investment Memorandum Accounts of the relevant Partners by
              the General Partner. Amounts credited to the Investment Memorandum
              Accounts of the Partners participating in an Investment shall be
              debited to the Investment Revenue Account of the Partnership in
              respect of such Investment. All entries on the Investment
              Memorandum Accounts of Partners participating in an Investment
              shall be made in the order of receipt of Investment Profits
              relating to an Investment and a cumulative total shall be kept
              following each entry of the balance on the Investment Memorandum
              Accounts of the Partners.

6.8           LEAVER PROVISIONS RELATING TO INVESTMENT COMMITMENTS

6.9           If a Limited Partner becomes a Leaver for any reason then, unless
              Clause 6.10 applies:

6.9.1         the Leaver's Investment Funding Percentage shall be reduced to
              zero (0);

6.9.2         such Investment Funding Percentage shall be transferred to such
              person or persons (and in such proportions) as is nominated by the
              General Partner within 30 days of the date on which the Limited
              Partner became a Leaver (and in default of such nomination such
              Investment Funding Percentage shall be transferred to the General
              Partner) provided that such person (if applicable) agrees, in a
              form acceptable to the General Partner to be bound by the
              provisions of this Agreement mutatis mutandis as if such person
              were an original party to, and a Limited Partner under, this
              Agreement;

6.9.3         the amount of uncalled Investment Commitment which that Leaver
              would have been liable to contribute shall be transferred to the
              person or persons specified in Clause 6.9.2 in the same
              proportions between themselves as the transfer of such Investment
              Funding Percentage;

6.9.4         the Leaver's Investment Sharing Percentage shall be reduced in
              accordance with Clause 6.11; and

6.9.5         the amount by which the Leaver's Investment Sharing Percentage is
              reduced shall be transferred to the person or persons to whom such
              Leaver's Investment Funding Percentage was transferred pursuant to
              Clause 6.9.2, in the same proportions between themselves as the
              transfer of such Investment Funding Percentage.

6.10          If a Limited Partner becomes a Leaver for any reason then, if such
              Limited Partner and the General Partner agree, the Limited Partner
              shall transfer his entire Investment Contribution and Investment
              Commitment (whether or not paid to the Partnership) to such person
              (or persons) nominated by the General Partner and at such price as
              the General Partner and the Leaver shall agree (or in the


                                       24



              absence of such agreement at cost). Upon such transfer the
              Leaver's Investment Funding Percentage and Investment Sharing
              Percentage shall be reduced to zero (0). In the event of such
              agreement the provisions of Clauses 6.9.1 to 6.9.5 shall not
              apply.

6.11          For the purposes of Clause 6.9.4, the amount to which the Leaver's
              Investment Sharing Percentage shall be reduced shall be determined
              by multiplying the Leaver's Investment Sharing Percentage by a
              fraction:

                 x
              --------
                x+y    , where:

              x equals the amount of Investment Commitment actually advanced to
              the Partnership (whether or not repaid); and

              y equals the maximum amount of uncalled Investment Commitment
              which that Leaver would have been liable to advance as at the date
              on which he became a Leaver.

7             DISTRIBUTIONS IN SPECIE AND RESTRICTIONS ON DISTRIBUTIONS

7.1           Where the Partnership receives a distribution of assets in specie
              in relation to any investment of Greenhill Capital Partners
              Europe, the General Partner shall be entitled to make a
              distribution in specie of such assets, on the same basis as
              distributions of cash from Greenhill Capital Partners Europe, at
              the Value attributable to such assets (as determined pursuant to
              the Greenhill Capital Partners Europe Partnership Agreements.)

7.2           In accordance with the provisions of Clause 5.6, all available
              funds not transferred to a Partner's Investment Account shall be
              distributed as soon as practicable following receipt in accordance
              with the provisions set out in this Agreement.

7.3           There shall be established, for each Partner holding Carry Profit
              Points in respect of an Annual Pool, an Investment Account in
              respect of such Annual Pool which shall consist of a gain
              sub-account (a "Gain Sub-Account") and a loss sub-account (a "Loss
              Sub- Account"). At any time the aggregate balance in a Partner's
              Gain Sub-Account shall be such Partner's "Gain Amount" and the
              aggregate balance in a Partner's Loss Sub-Account shall be such
              Partner's "Loss Amount".

7.4           Amounts in a Limited Partner's Investment Account will be invested
              by the Partnership in an interest bearing bank account in the name
              of the Partnership and such interest will accrue for the benefit
              of the Limited Partner concerned.

7.5           The Gain Sub-Account of each Partner participating in an Annual
              Pool shall initially be zero and shall thereafter be adjusted as
              follows:

7.5.1         increased by an amount equal to the amount which would, but for
              the operation of Clause 5.6, be distributed to the relevant
              Partner; and

7.5.2         decreased by amounts distributed to the relevant Partner pursuant
              to the provisions of this Clause 7.


                                       25



7.6           The Loss Sub-Account of each Partner participating in an Annual
              Pool shall initially be zero and shall thereafter be adjusted as
              follows:

7.6.1         increased by an amount equal to 100% of such Partner's Notional
              Loss Amount (as determined by the General Partner pursuant to
              Clause 7.7) from any Investment in such Annual Pool; and

7.6.2         decreased by amounts distributed in accordance with the provisions
              of this Clause 7.

7.7           Upon the write off- or write down of any Investment held by
              Greenhill Capital Partners Europe or the realisation of any
              Investment of Greenhill Capital Partners at a loss, the General
              Partner shall determine for each Partner participating in the
              relevant Annual Pool a "Notional Loss Amount" relating to such
              Investment, using the methodology applicable to the determination
              of Carried Interest set forth in the applicable Greenhill Capital
              Partners Europe Partnership Agreement and the Carry Profit Points
              allocated to the Partner participating in such Annual Pool. In the
              event that the write off or write down of an Investment or the
              realisation of an Investment at a loss in respect of which an
              Introducers Percentage has been awarded, the Introducers
              Percentage shall be disregarded and the calculation in this Clause
              7.7 will be carried out on the basis that the Annual Pool
              Percentage had been 100% in relation to such Investment.

7.8           At the time of each subsequent realisation of an Investment in an
              Annual Pool that would have resulted in Carried Interest being
              payable without regard to any other Investment in such Annual
              Pool, the General Partner shall determine, for each Partner
              participating in the Annual Pool, (i) the Gain Amount in such
              Partner's Gain Sub-Account and (ii) the Loss Amount in such
              Partner's Loss Sub-Account. Upon such determination, an amount
              equal to the Loss Amount for each Partner participating in the
              relevant Annual Pool shall be distributed to the Partners to the
              extent necessary to permit such Partners to receive the Carry
              Profit distributions which would have been distributed to them in
              the absence of any Notional Loss Amount; provided that such
              distribution will not exceed the Gain Amount for such Partner at
              the relevant time.

7.9           Subject to the remaining provisions of this Clause 7.9, any
              amounts remaining in any Partner's Investment Account relating to
              an Annual Pool shall be paid to such Partner after the complete
              liquidation of all Investments comprising the Annual Pool.
              Notwithstanding that the complete liquidation of all Investments
              comprising an Annual Pool may have occurred, each of the Partners
              in the Partnership hereby confirms that they recognise that the
              Clawback Obligation within Greenhill Capital Partners Europe
              operates on a "whole fund" basis and accordingly the General
              Partner shall be entitled to retain amounts within the Investment
              Accounts of Partners (and not to distribute such amounts) if the
              General Partner determines that there is a reasonable chance that
              a Clawback Obligation will arise which would need to be satisfied
              in whole or in part by such Investors. However, the General
              Partner may at any time, acting in its sole discretion, determine
              that such amounts held within the Investment Accounts of Partners
              are not required in order for the relevant Partner to meet its
              payment obligations under the terms of this Agreement and may
              accordingly cause such amounts to be distributed.


                                       26



8             ACCOUNTS

8.1           The General Partner shall prepare and approve accounts of the
              Partnership in respect of each Accounting Period in accordance
              with generally accepted accounting practice in the United Kingdom,
              as may be adjusted from time to time at the discretion of the
              General Partner in consultation with the Auditors as described in
              the accounting policies detailed in the Partnership's Accounts.
              The Partnership's accounts shall include a balance sheet, profit
              and loss account, cashflow statement, a statement of the GPS
              Revenue Account, Carried Interest Revenue Accounts, Investment
              Revenue Accounts (and in each case a statement of the movements in
              such accounts) and GPS Memorandum Accounts, Carry Memorandum
              Accounts and Investment Memorandum Accounts of each Partner (as
              applicable) and a summary of movements in such accounts.

8.2           A set of the accounts and a statement of accounting policies shall
              be furnished to each Partner as soon as reasonably practicable
              following the end of each Accounting Period.

8.3           The General Partner shall, on reasonable notice being given by any
              Partner, make available to that Partner a copy of his GPS
              Memorandum Account (if applicable), Carry Memorandum Accounts,
              Investment Memorandum Accounts and Investment Accounts.

8.4           The General Partner shall, upon the request of any Limited
              Partner, promptly furnish to that Limited Partner, at the expense
              of the Partnership, such information in the General Partner's
              possession as the Limited Partner may reasonably request to enable
              such Limited Partner: (i) to file tax returns and reports or
              answer enquiries from tax authorities, and (ii) to meet its
              reporting obligations, and (iii) to furnish information to any of
              its partners for the purposes set out in (i) and (ii). In the
              event that a Limited Partner requires information for these
              purposes which is not in the possession of the General Partner,
              the General Partner will use reasonable endeavours to obtain such
              information provided that all reasonable costs properly incurred
              by the General Partner in so doing shall be borne by the Limited
              Partner making the request.

9             RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE GENERAL PARTNER

9.1           APPOINTMENT OF A MANAGER

9.1.1         The General Partner shall be responsible for ensuring that the
              Partnership is always managed and operated by an appropriate
              Authorised Person. The General Partner, and each succeeding
              general partner of the Partnership shall procure, for so long as
              it remains the general partner of the Partnership, that an
              Associate, which is then an appropriate Authorised Person, shall
              agree to act as the manager of the Partnership on terms to be
              agreed by the General Partner from time to time (provided that the
              terms upon which any manager shall be appointed to act for the
              Partnership by the General Partner shall include a provision
              whereby the appointment of the manager shall terminate immediately
              upon the General Partner ceasing to be the general partner of the
              Partnership for any reason).

9.1.2         The General Partner, acting on behalf of the Partnership, shall
              have full discretion and authority to select and/or terminate the
              appointment of any manager subject to Clause 9.1.1. If appointed,
              the manager shall manage or


                                       27



              operate the Partnership, and shall manage the assets of the
              Partnership on a discretionary basis. The appointment of the
              Manager shall be without further charge to the Partnership. The
              General Partner shall accordingly be responsible for procuring the
              payment of the fees of the Manager and the Manager shall have no
              rights against the Partnership or any of the Limited Partners in
              respect of such fees.

9.1.3         Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
              General Partner shall not do or be authorised to do anything
              (including acting or offering or agreeing to act as Manager) which
              might breach the provisions of the Limited Partnerships Act 1907
              or constitute a regulated activity for the purposes of the
              Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 unless it is authorised by
              the Financial Services Authority to do so.

9.1.4         The Partners hereby confirm that the General Partner Greenhill
              Capital Partners Europe LLP (a limited liability partnership
              authorised to carry on regulated activities in the UK and, in
              particular, to act as a manager of limited partnerships) shall be
              the first manager of the Partnership.

9.2           RESTRICTION ON THE LIMITED PARTNERS

9.2.1         The Limited Partners shall take no part in the operation of the
              Partnership or the management or control of its business and
              affairs, and shall have no right or authority to act for the
              Partnership or to take any part in or in any way to interfere in
              the conduct or management of the Partnership or to vote on matters
              relating to the Partnership other than as provided in the Act or
              as set forth in this Agreement but they shall have access to and
              the right to inspect the books and accounts of the Partnership.

9.2.2         Save as otherwise provided in this Agreement, and for the
              avoidance of doubt, each Partner hereby agrees and consents that
              no Partner shall be required to account to the Partnership for any
              benefit derived by it or its Associates from any transaction
              concerning the Partnership.

9.3           AUTHORITY AND POWERS OF THE GENERAL PARTNER/MANAGER

The           General Partner (or any Manager appointed by it) shall have the
              power and authority to do all things necessary to carry out the
              purposes of the Partnership and shall devote as much of its time
              and attention thereto as shall reasonably be required for the
              management of the business of the Partnership and shall carry on
              and manage the same with the assistance from time to time of
              agents, servants or other employees of the Partnership as it shall
              deem necessary.

9.4           GENERAL PARTNER'S SHARE

9.4.1         Notwithstanding any allocation of GPS Profit Points pursuant to
              Clause 4, the General Partner shall be entitled to receive and
              there shall be allocated to the General Partner, as a first charge
              on GPS Profits of the Partnership, an amount equal to (pound)1,000
              per annum (the "General Partner's Share") which shall be paid
              quarterly in advance. If the GPS Profits in any Accounting Period
              shall be less than the General Partner's Share any deficiency may
              be paid to the General Partner as an interest free loan, but such
              payment shall not extinguish the amount of the General Partner's
              Share outstanding which shall be carried forward to


                                       28



              subsequent Accounting Periods, and such loans will be discharged
              when the Partnership has received sufficient GPS Profits so to do.

9.4.2         Amounts in respect of the General Partner's Share shall be
              credited to the GPS Memorandum account of the General Partner.

9.4.3         On the incurring of any expenditure of the Partnership, such
              expenditure shall be debited to the GPS Memorandum Account of the
              General Partner only.

10            ASSIGNATION OF INTERESTS

10.1          No sale, assignation, agreement, transfer, exchange, pledge,
              encumbrance or other disposition ("Transfer") of any Limited
              Partner's Interest, whether voluntary or involuntary shall be
              valid or effective save with the consent of the General Partner
              (other than where a Limited Partner becomes a Leaver by reason of
              his death). The General Partner shall have complete discretion as
              to whether to withhold its consent in relation to any proposed
              Transfer, and, for the avoidance of doubt shall withhold its
              consent in circumstances which do not fall within Clause 10.5. The
              General Partner may require an Introducer being admitted to the
              Partnership as a Limited Partner, as a condition of his admission
              to the Partnership, to acquire such part of the Interest of
              Greenhill & Co Europe Limited (in respect of its Investment
              Contribution and Investment Commitment) as it may in its sole
              discretion determine.

10.2          On the Transfer of any Limited Partner's Interest, the
              transferring Limited Partner shall execute an agreement, in such
              form as the General Partner shall in its reasonable discretion
              determine, confirming that he or it shall remain liable to the
              Partnership as a Partner to the extent set out in Clause 5.10.

10.3          The General Partner shall not Transfer all or any part of its
              interest as General Partner of the Partnership or voluntarily
              withdraw or resign as the general partner of the Partnership
              without the consent of Limited Partners by a Limited Partners'
              Consent. Notwithstanding this, the General Partner shall be
              entitled to transfer its Interest without the consent of the
              Limited Partners to any company which is an Associate of the
              Manager or Greenhill.

10.4          The Transfer of any Interest shall not cause the dissolution of
              the Partnership.

10.5          The General Partner shall retain complete discretion as to whether
              to consent to any proposed Transfer including in the following

              extraordinary general meeting. An extraordinary general meeting
              shall also be convened upon the requisition or of the Limited
              Partners by a Limited Partners' Consent.

11.1.4        Only Partners as at the date on which a general meeting of the

11.2          NOTICE

11.2.1        Annual general meetings shall be called by 21 days notice in
              writing at the least, and any other general meeting shall be
              called by 14 days notice in writing at the least. The notice shall

              called if it is so agreed in writing by all the Partners.

11.2.2        The accidental omission to give notice of a meeting or the
              non-receipt of a notice of a meeting by any Partner shall not

11.3          QUORUM

              quorum of Partners is present at the time when the meeting
              proceeds to business. Save as herein otherwise provided, three
              Partners present in person or by proxy or by authorised corporate

11.3.2        If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a
              quorum is not present, it shall stand adjourned to the same day in
              the next week at the same time and place or to such other day and
              such other time and place as the General Partner may determine
              (provided that, unless otherwise agreed in writing by all of the
              Limited Partners, written notice of such other day, time and/or
              place has been received by all Limited Partners within three
              Business Days of the date on which the adjourned meeting is to
              take place) and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not
              present within half an hour from the time appointed for the
              meeting, the Partners present shall be a quorum. For the avoidance
              of doubt, only the business or resolutions set out in the notice
              convening the original meeting at which a quorum was not present

11.4.1        The chairman of the General Partner shall preside as chairman of
              every general meeting of the Partnership or, if he is not present

              elect one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

11.4.2        The chairman of the meeting may, with the consent of any meeting
              at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the
              meeting) adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to
              place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned
              meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting
              from which the adjournment took place.

11.5          VOTING

              At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting

              such number of the Limited Partners as are present at the meeting
              in person or by proxy or by duly authorised corporate
              representative whose share of the aggregate amount of Carried
              Interest Contributions of those other Limited Partners present and

              Regulations 1985 (as amended so as to have effect for companies
              first registered on the date of this Agreement) shall apply to the
              holding of meetings and all matters incidental thereto as if the
              Partnership were a company and the General Partner were the
              directors of that company.


                                       31



12            TERMINATION AND LIQUIDATION

12.1          The death, bankruptcy, sequestration, insolvency, dissolution or
              liquidation of a Limited Partner shall not operate to terminate
              the Partnership and the estate or trustee in bankruptcy or
              receiver or liquidator of a deceased, bankrupt, insolvent or
              dissolved Limited Partner shall not have the right to withdraw the
              balances on such Limited Partner's GPS Memorandum Account (if
              any), Carry Memorandum Accounts, Investment Memorandum Accounts
              and Investment Accounts prior to such time as the amounts would
              otherwise be distributed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

12.2          The Partnership shall terminate 90 days after termination of all
              partnerships in which the Partnership is a partner or shall
              terminate prior to such date upon the happening of any of the
              following events:

12.2.1        the bankruptcy, sequestration, insolvency, dissolution or
              liquidation of the General Partner; or

12.2.2        the agreement of the General Partner and of the Limited Partners
              by a Limited Partners' Consent.

12.3          If the Partnership is terminated pursuant to Clause 12.1.1, the
              Partnership may be reconstituted as a new partnership with a new
              general partner and its business continued with the sanction of a
              Limited Partners' Consent, which consent must be obtained within
              60 days after all Partners have been notified of the event of
              termination, whereupon the existing General Partner shall cease to
              be the General Partner.

12.4          In the event of a termination of the Partnership, no further
              business shall be conducted except for such action as shall be
              necessary for the winding-up of the affairs of the Partnership and
              the distribution of the assets of the Partnership amongst the
              Partners. Notwithstanding the dissolution of the Partnership, the
              powers of the General Partner shall continue, insofar as may be
              necessary to wind up the affairs of the Partnership, and to
              complete transactions begun but unfinished at the time of the
              dissolution, provided however that if the Partnership is dissolved
              by reason of the insolvency, liquidation or dissolution of the
              General Partner, the Limited Partners shall apply to the Court for
              the appointment of a judicial factor to wind up the affairs of the
              Partnership.

12.5          Upon dissolution of the Partnership, all remaining proceeds and
              assets after payment of all debts, obligations and liabilities of
              the Partnership and all costs of dissolution, shall be distributed
              amongst the Partners and the General Partner on the basis set out
              in this Agreement. In addition, all Partners shall be paid the
              amount standing to the credit of their Carry Contribution Accounts
              and Investment Contribution Accounts.

13            MISCELLANEOUS

13.1          NON-EXCLUSIVITY

              The functions and duties which the General Partner and the Manager
              (if any) undertake on behalf of the Partnership shall not be
              exclusive and the General Partner and the Manager (if any) may
              perform similar functions and duties for


                                       32



              others and may engage in any other activity provided however that
              the General Partner or the Manager (if any) continue properly to
              manage the affairs of the Partnership.

13.2          LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY 13.2.1 No Indemnified Person shall be
              liable to the Partnership or to the Partners for any losses,
              claims, damages or liabilities arising from, or related to, or in
              connection with this Agreement, the Partnership's business or
              affairs (including any act or omission by any Indemnified Person
              and any activity of the type covered in the Greenhill Capital
              Partners Europe Partnership Agreements and no such activity will
              in and of itself constitute a breach of any duty owed by any
              Indemnified Person to the Partnership or the Partners) except for
              any losses, claims, damages or liabilities resulting from such
              Indemnified Person's gross negligence or wilful misconduct or, in
              the case of the Manager, arising from any material breach of any
              applicable FSA Rules or any provision of FSMA binding upon it.

13.2.2        The Partnership shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
              applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party
              against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of
              or in connection with this Agreement or the Partnership's business
              and affairs, except for any such losses, claims, damages or
              liabilities resulting from such Indemnified Party's gross
              negligence or wilful misconduct or, in the case of the Manager,
              arising from any material breach of any applicable FSA Rules or
              any provision of FSMA binding upon it. The Partnership will
              periodically reimburse each Indemnified Party for all expenses
              (including fees and expenses of counsel) as such expenses are
              incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or
              defending any proceedings related to or arising out of or in
              connection with this Agreement or the Partnership's business and
              affairs whether or not pending or threatened provided that such
              Indemnified Party shall promptly repay to the Partnership the
              amount of any such reimbursed expenses paid to it if it shall be
              judicially determined by judgment or order not subject to further
              appeal or discretionary review that such Indemnified Party is not
              entitled to be Indemnified by the Partnership in connection with
              such matter. If for any reason (other than gross negligence or
              wilful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or, in the case of the
              Manager, arising from any material breach of any applicable FSA
              Rules or any provision of FSMA binding upon it) the foregoing
              indemnification is unavailable to the Indemnified Party, or is
              insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Partnership shall
              contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party
              as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such
              proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
              received by the Partnership on the one hand and such Indemnified
              Party on the other hand, or, if such allocation is not permitted
              by applicable law, to reflect not only the relative benefits
              referred to above but also any other relevant equitable
              considerations.

13.2.3        Each Partner covenants for itself and its successors, assignees,
              heirs and personal representatives that such person will, at any
              time prior to or after the dissolution of the Partnership, whether
              before or after such person's withdrawal from the Partnership, pay
              to the Partnership or the General Partner on demand any amount
              which the Partnership or the General Partner, as the case may be,
              properly pays in respect of taxes (including withholding taxes)
              imposed upon income of, or distributions in respect of,
              Investments made to such Partner. The General Partner or the
              General Partner shall provide any Limited Partner with all
              relevant information in its possession relating to such payment of
              taxes.


                                       33



13.2.4        In the event that any Limited Partner initiates any proceedings
              against the Partnership, the General Partner, the Manager,
              Greenhill or any of its Associates and a judgment or order not
              subject to further appeal or discretionary review is rendered in
              respect of such proceedings for the Partnership, the General
              Partner, the Manager or Greenhill or any of its Associates, as the
              case may be, such Limited Partner shall be solely responsible for
              all costs and expenses of the Partnership, the General Partner,
              the Manager or Greenhill or such Associate, as the case may be
              attributable thereto and shall pay such amounts in cash to the
              persons incurring such costs and expenses within 90 days after the
              entry of such judgment or order.

13.2.5        Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, the
              reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the
              Partnership under Clause 13.2.2 (the "Indemnification
              Obligations") shall:

              13.2.5.1  be in addition to any liability which the Partnership
                        may otherwise have;

              13.2.5.2  extend upon the same terms and conditions to the
                        officers, directors, employees, Associates,
                        shareholders, agents and representatives of each
                        Indemnified Party;

              13.2.5.3  be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any
                        successors, assignees, heirs and personal
                        representatives of each Indemnified Party.

13.2.6        The General Partner and any Manager appointed under Clause 9.1
              shall not be liable to any Limited Partner or to the Partnership
              for the gross negligence, wilful misconduct, dishonesty or bad
              faith of any agent acting for the General Partner, such Manager or
              for the Partnership provided that such agent was selected, engaged
              and retained by the General Partner or such Manager applying
              reasonable care.

13.2.7        For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Clause 13.2
              shall continue in effect notwithstanding that the Indemnified
              Party shall have ceased to provide services to or in respect of
              the Partnership but only as regards the services provided in the
              period prior to and including such cessation (but not thereafter)
              and shall continue in effect for a period of four years following
              the termination of the Partnership; provided that if at the end of
              such period there are any proceedings then pending or any other
              liability (whether contingent or otherwise) or claim then
              outstanding, any Limited Partner shall so notify the General
              Partner or the Manager and Greenhill at such time (which notice
              shall include a brief description of such proceedings (and of the
              liabilities asserted in such proceedings) and of such liabilities
              and claims) and the foregoing provisions of this Clause 13.2 shall
              survive with respect to any such notice until such date that such
              proceedings, liability or claim is ultimately resolved.

13.2.8        Each Indemnified Party and each other person referred to in this
              Clause 13.2 will be entitled to enforce the provisions of this
              Clause under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.


                                       34



13.3          CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

              The Partners shall not, and shall use all reasonable endeavours to
              procure that every person connected with or associated with each
              such Partner shall not, disclose to any person, firm or
              corporation or use to the detriment of the Partnership or any of
              the Partners any Confidential Information which may have come to

              unless required to do so by law or by the regulations of any
              relevant stock exchange or any other regulatory authority to which
              any of the Partners is subject.

                        if applicable, airmail), on the third Business Day after
                        the day on which it was posted; or

              13.4.2.3  in the case of facsimile transmission (subject to oral
                        confirmation of receipt of all transmitted pages) on the
                        day it is transmitted provided that if that day is not a
                        business day or, being a Business Day, transmission
                        takes place after 5.00 pm, then at 9.00 am on the first

              (other than service by facsimile transmission) it shall be
              sufficient to prove that the notice was properly addressed and
              left at or posted by prepaid first class post (or, if applicable,
              airmail) to the place to which it was so addressed.

13.5          AMENDMENT

              This Agreement may be amended in whole or in part by the General
              Partner. In the event that a proposed change would adversely
              affect the rights of a Limited Partner with regard to the
              allocations of Carry Points previously made to such Limited
              Partner or which would impose upon any Partner any obligation to
              make any further payment to the Partnership beyond the amount of
              its Capital Contribution (and, if applicable, Investment
              Commitment), the written consent of each of the Limited Partners
              adversely affected thereby will be required prior to such
              variation coming into effect, subject always to compliance with
              the Act.

              of Session at Edinburgh.
