Partner Minimum Gain: The gain (regardless of character) which would be realized by the Partnership if property of the Partnership subject to a partner nonrecourse debt (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) were disposed of in full satisfaction of such debt on the relevant date. The adjusted basis of property subject to more than one partner nonrecourse debt shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the allocation of basis for purposes of determining Partnership Minimum Gain hereunder.

In the case of any Nonrecourse Liability of the Partnership which is not secured by a mortgage with respect to any specific property of the Partnership, any and all property of the Partnership to which the holder of said liability has recourse shall be treated as subject to such Nonrecourse Liability for purposes of the preceding sentence. Partnership Minimum Gain shall be computed separately for each Nonrecourse Liability of the Partnership. For this purpose, the adjusted basis of property subject to two or more liabilities of equal priority shall be allocated among such liabilities in proportion to the outstanding balance of such liabilities, and the adjusted basis of property subject to two or more liabilities of unequal priority shall be allocated to the liability of inferior priority only to the extent of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of such property over the outstanding balance of the liability of superior priority.

The Partnership Nonrecourse Deductions for a Partnership tax year shall consist first of depreciation or cost recovery deductions with respect to each property of the Partnership giving rise to such increase in Partnership Minimum Gain on a pro rata basis to the extent of each such increase, with any excess made up pro rata of all items of deduction.

(E)The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.4 are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. In the event the General Partner shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Partners’ Capital Accounts are computed hereunder in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, the General Partner may make such modification if such modification is not

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section (other than Section 5.2(C)(1) which shall be applied before this Section 5.2(C)(2)), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain during any tax year or other period for which allocations are made, each Partner with a share of Partner Minimum Gain determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5) shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for that period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii). This Section 5.2(C)(2) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements of Treasury Regulations Section and shall be interpreted consistently therewith, including the exceptions set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(2) and (3) to the extent such exceptions apply to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4). If the General Partner concludes, after consultation with tax counsel, that the Partnership meets the requirements for a waiver of the Partner Minimum Gain chargeback requirement set forth in Treasury Regulation 1.704-2(f), but only to the extent such exception applies to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), the General Partner may take steps necessary or appropriate to obtain such waiver.
(3)Qualified Income Offset. A Partner who unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) will be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by Treasury Regulations 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.2(C)(3) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.2(C)(3) were not contained in this Agreement.
(4)Partnership Nonrecourse Deductions. Partnership Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period for which allocations are made will be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.
(5)Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period for which allocations are made will be allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the liability to which the Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).
(6)Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset under Code Section 734(b) or 743(b) is required to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or (4), the amount of the adjustment to the Capital Accounts will be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the basis of the asset), and the gain or loss will be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).
(7)Depreciation Recapture. In the event there is any recapture of Depreciation or investment tax credit, the allocation thereof shall be made among the Partners in the same proportion as the deduction for such Depreciation or investment tax credit was allocated.
(8)Interest in Partnership. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no allocation of Profit or Loss (or item of Profit or Loss) will be made to a Partner if the allocation would not have “economic effect” under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(a) or otherwise would not be in accordance with the Partner’s interest in the Partnership within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(3).
(D)Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 5.2(C)(1) through (8) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Partners intend to divide Partnership distributions. Accordingly, the General Partner is authorized to further allocate Profits, Losses, and other items among the Partners in a reasonable manner so as to prevent the Regulatory Allocations from distorting the manner in which Partnership distributions would be divided among the Partners under Section 5.3, but for application of the Regulatory Allocations. In general, the reallocation will be accomplished by specially allocating other Profits, Losses and items of income, gain, loss and deduction, to the extent they exist, among the Partners so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and the special allocations to each Partner is zero. The General Partner may accomplish this result in any reasonable manner that is consistent with Code Section 704 and the related Treasury Regulations.

(E)Tax Allocations.
(1)Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2(E)(2), each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes in the same manner as each correlative item of income, gain, loss or deduction, is allocated for book purposes pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.1 hereof.
(2)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article V, in an attempt to eliminate any Book-Tax Disparity with respect to a Contributed Property, items of income, gain, loss or deduction with respect to each such property shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Partners as follows:
(a)Depreciation, Amortization and Other Cost Recovery Items. In the case of each Contributed Property with a Book-Tax Disparity, any item of depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery allowance attributable to such property shall be allocated as follows: (x) first, to Partners (the “Non-Contributing Partners”) other than the Partners who contributed such property to the Partnership (or are deemed to have contributed the property pursuant to Section 4.1(A)) (the “Contributing Partners”) in an amount up to the book allocation of such items made to the Non-Contributing Partners pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, pro rata in proportion to the respective amount of book items so allocated to the Non-Contributing Partners pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof; and (y) any remaining depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery allowance to the Contributing Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests. In no event shall the total depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery allowance allocated hereunder exceed the amount of the Partnership’s depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery allowance with respect to such property.
(b)Gain or Loss on Disposition. In the event the Partnership sells or otherwise disposes of a Contributed Property with a Book-Tax Disparity, any gain or loss recognized by the Partnership in connection with such sale or other disposition shall be allocated among the Partners as follows: (x) first, any gain or loss shall be allocated to the Contributing Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests to the extent required to eliminate any Book-Tax Disparity with respect to such property; and (y) any remaining gain or loss shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner that the correlative items of book gain or loss are allocated among the Partners pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof.
(3)In the event the Book Value of a Partnership Asset (including a Contributed Property) is adjusted pursuant to Section 4.4(D) hereof, all items of income, gain, loss or deduction in respect of such property shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Partners in the same manner as provided in Section 5.2(E)(2) hereof to take into account any variation between the fair market value of the property, as determined by the General Partner using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt, and the Book Value of such property, both determined as of the date of such adjustment.
(4)The General Partner shall have the authority to elect alternative methods to eliminate the Book-Tax Disparity with respect to one or more Contributed Properties, as permitted by Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-3 and 1.704-3T, and such election shall be binding on all of the Partners.
(5)The Partners hereby intend that the allocation of tax items pursuant to this Section 5.2(E) comply with the requirements of Code Section 704(c) and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-3 and 1.704-3T.
(6)The allocation of items of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 5.2(E) are solely for federal, state and local income tax purposes, and the Capital Account balances of the Partners shall be adjusted solely for allocations of “book” items in respect of Partnership Assets pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof.
(F)Other Allocation Rules. The following rules will apply to the calculation and allocation of Profits, Losses and other items:
(1)Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all Profits, Losses and other items allocated to the Partners will be allocated among them in proportion to their Percentage Interests.
(2)For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses or any other item allocable to any period, Profits, Losses and other items will be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by the General Partner using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the related Treasury Regulations.
(3)Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Partnership income, gain, loss and deduction, and other allocations not provided for in this Agreement will be divided among the Partners in the same proportions as they share Profits and Losses, provided that any credits shall be allocated in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

(4)For purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a), the Partners hereby agree that any Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership in excess of the sum of (i) the Partnership Minimum Gain and (ii) the aggregate amount of taxable gain that would be allocated to the Partners under Section 704(c) (or in the same manner as Section 704(c) in connection with a revaluation of Partnership property) if the Partnership disposed of (in a taxable transaction) all Partnership property subject to one or more Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership in full satisfaction of such Liabilities and for no other consideration, shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with their respective Partnership Interests; provided that the General Partner shall have discretion in any Fiscal Year to allocate such excess Nonrecourse Liabilities among the Partners (a) in a manner reasonably consistent with allocations (that have substantial economic effect) of some other significant item of Partnership income or gain or (b) in accordance with the manner in which it is reasonably expected that the deductions attributable to the excess Nonrecourse Liabilities will be allocated.
(G)Partner Acknowledgment. The Partners agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 5.2 in reporting their shares of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for income tax purposes.
(H)Regulatory Compliance. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2 relating to the allocation of Profits, Losses and other items for federal income tax purposes are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b), 1.704-2, 1.704-3 and 1.704-3T and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations.

Any approvals rendered or withheld by the Limited Partners, the Class C Limited Partner, the Class F Limited Partner, the Class G Limited Partner, the Class I Limited Partner, the Class J Limited Partner or the Class K Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed as consultation with or advice to the General Partner in connection with the business of the Partnership and, in accordance with the Act, shall not be deemed as participation by the Limited Partners, the Class C Limited Partner, the Class F Limited Partner, the Class G Limited Partner, the Class I Limited Partner, the Class J Limited Partner or the Class K Limited Partner in the business of the Partnership and are not intended to create any inference that the Limited Partners, the Class C Limited Partner, the Class F Limited Partner, the Class G Limited Partner, the Class I Limited Partner, the Class J Limited Partner or the Class K Limited Partner should be classified as general partners under the Act.
(B)Neither the Limited Partner, the Class C Limited Partner, the Class F Limited Partner, the Class G Limited Partner, the Class I Limited Partner, the Class J Limited Partner nor the Class K Limited Partner shall have any liability under this Agreement except with respect to withholding under Section 7.6, in connection with a violation of any provision of this

(B)No action shall be taken by a Partner if it would cause the Partnership to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or, without the consent of the General Partner, as a publicly-traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code. A determination of whether such action will have the above described effect shall be based upon a declaratory judgment or similar relief obtained from a court of competent jurisdiction, a favorable ruling from the IRS or the receipt of an opinion of counsel.
Section 4.Business with Affiliates.
(A)The General Partner, in its discretion, may cause the Partnership to transact business with any Partner or its Affiliates for goods or services reasonably required in the conduct of the Partnership’s business; provided that any such transaction shall be effected only on terms competitive with those that may be obtained in the marketplace from unaffiliated Persons. The foregoing proviso shall not apply to transactions between the Partnership and its Subsidiaries. In addition, neither the General Partner nor any Affiliate of the General Partner may sell, transfer or otherwise convey any property to, or purchase any property from, the Partnership, except (i) on terms competitive with those that may be obtained in the marketplace from unaffiliated Persons or (ii) where the General Partner determines, in its sole judgment, that such sale, transfer or conveyance confers benefits on the General Partner or the Partnership in respect of matters of tax or corporate or financial structure; provided, in the case of this clause (ii), such sale, transfer, or conveyance is not being effected for the purpose of materially disadvantaging the Limited Partners.
(B)In furtherance of Section 6.4(A), the Partnership may lend or contribute to its Subsidiaries on terms and conditions established by the General Partner.
Section 5.Compensation; Reimbursement of Expenses
. In consideration for the General Partner’s services to the Partnership in its capacity as General Partner, the Partnership shall pay on behalf of or reimburse to the General Partner (i) all expenses of the General Partner incurred in connection with the management of the business and affairs of the Partnership, including all employee compensation of employees of the General Partner and indemnity or other payments made pursuant to agreements entered into in furtherance of the Partnership’s business, (ii) all amounts payable by the General Partner under the Registration Rights Agreement and (iii) all general and administrative expenses incurred by the General Partner.

Section 6.Liability for Acts and Omissions.

In exercising its authority hereunder, the General Partner may, but shall not be under any obligation to, take into account the tax consequences to any Partner of any action it undertakes on behalf of the Partnership. Neither the General Partner nor the Partnership shall have any liability as a result of any income tax liability incurred by a Partner as a result of any action or inaction of the General Partner hereunder and, by their execution of this Agreement, the Limited Partners acknowledge the foregoing.

(B)Unless otherwise prohibited hereunder, the General Partner shall be entitled to exercise any of the powers granted to it and perform any of the duties required of it under this Agreement directly or through any agent. The General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent; provided that the General Partner selected or appointed such agent in good faith.
The General Partner acknowledges that it owes fiduciary duties both to its stockholders and to the Limited Partners and it shall use its reasonable efforts to discharge such duties to each; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict between the interests of the stockholders of the General Partner and the interests of the Limited Partners, the Limited Partners agree that the General Partner shall discharge its fiduciary duties to the Limited Partners by acting in the best interests of the General Partner’s stockholders. Nothing contained in the preceding sentence shall be construed as entitling the General Partner to realize any profit or gain from any transaction between the General Partner and the Partnership (except in connection with a distribution in accordance with this Agreement), including from the lending of money by the General Partner to the Partnership or the contribution of property by the General Partner to the Partnership, it being understood that in any such transaction the General Partner shall be entitled to cost recovery only.
Section 7.Indemnification.
(A)The Partnership shall indemnify the General Partner and each director, officer and stockholder of the General Partner and each Person (including any Affiliate) designated as an agent by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion (each, an “Indemnified Party”) to the fullest extent permitted under the Act (including any procedures set forth therein regarding advancement of expenses to such Indemnified Party) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, settlements and any other amounts arising out of or in connection with any claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings (civil, criminal or administrative) relating to or resulting (directly or indirectly) from the operations of the Partnership, in which such Indemnified Party becomes involved, or reasonably believes it may become involved, as a result of the capacity referred to above.
(B)The Partnership shall have the authority to purchase and maintain such insurance policies on behalf of the Indemnified Parties as the General Partner shall determine, which policies may cover those liabilities the General Partner reasonably believes may be incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with the operation of the business of the Partnership. The right to procure such insurance on behalf of the Indemnified Parties shall in no way mitigate or otherwise affect the right of any such Indemnified Party to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.7(A) hereof.
(C)The provisions of this Section 6.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights in or benefit to any other Person.

The General Partner shall maintain at the office of the Partnership full and accurate books of the Partnership showing all receipts and expenditures, assets and liabilities, profits and losses, names and current addresses of Partners, and all other records necessary for recording the Partnership’s business and affairs.

The Tax Matters Partner shall deliver to the Limited Partners within ten (10) business days of the receipt thereof a copy of any notice or other communication with respect to the Partnership received from the IRS (or other governmental tax authority), or any court, in each case with respect to any administrative or judicial proceeding involving the Partnership. The Partners agree to cooperate with each other in connection with the conduct of all proceedings pursuant to this Section 7.5(A).
(B)For tax returns filed with respect to Fiscal Years beginning after December 31, 2017, the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may cause, and take such actions as it determines necessary or appropriate to enable the Partnership to elect out of the application of the provisions of Code Sections 6221 through 6241 under the Revised Partnership Audit Rules. If, however, such provisions do apply to the Partnership for any Fiscal Year, the General Partner shall also act as the Partnership Representative within the meaning of Code Section 6223(a) under the Revised Partnership Audit Rules, for purposes of Code Sections 6221 through 6241. Each Partner hereby consents to the General Partner serving as the Partnership Representative and agrees upon request of the General Partner to execute, certify, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file and record at the appropriate public offices such further documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such consent. The Partnership Representative will be authorized to represent the Partnership (at the Partnership’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Partnership’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to (i) sign consents, enter into settlement and other agreements with such authorities with respect to any such examinations or proceedings and (ii) expend the Partnership’s funds for professional services incurred in connection therewith. Each Partner hereby agrees to execute, certify, acknowledge and deliver such documents and certifications as the Partnership Representative may request in connection with any such examinations and proceedings. The Partnership Representative may duly and timely elect under Code Section 6226 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder to require each Person who was a Partner during the Fiscal Year of the Partnership that was audited to personally bear any tax, interest and penalty resulting from adjustments based on such audit and, if such an election is made, shall notify each such Person (and the IRS) of their share of such audit adjustments. If for any reason the Partnership is liable for a tax (including imputed underpayments), interest, addition to tax or penalty as a result of any audit (including state and local audits), each Person who was a Partner during the Fiscal Year of the Partnership that was audited, even if such Person is no longer a Partner (unless a Substitute Limited Partner has agreed to bear such liability in an appropriate document evidencing a transfer), shall pay to the Partnership an amount equal to such Person’s proportionate share of such liability (and any expenses incurred by the Partnership in adjudicating or otherwise resolving such liability), as determined by the General Partner, based on the amount each such Person should have borne (computed at the tax rate used to compute the Partnership’s liability) had the Partnership’s tax return for such Fiscal Year reflected the audit adjustment, and the expense for the Partnership’s payment, adjudication or other resolution of such tax, interest, addition to tax and penalty shall be specially allocated to such Persons (or their successors) in such proportions.
(C)(B) The Tax Matters Partner or Partnership Representative, as applicable, shall receive no compensation for its services in such capacity. If the Tax Matters Partner or Partnership Representative, as applicable, incurs any costs related to any tax audit, declaration of any tax deficiency or any administrative proceeding or litigation involving any Partnership tax matter, such amount shall be an expense of the Partnership, and the Tax Matters Partner or Partnership Representative, as applicable, shall be entitled to full reimbursement therefor.,

(D)(C) The General Partner shall cause to be prepared all federal, state and local income tax returns required of the Partnership at the Partnership’s expense.
(E)(D) Except as set forth herein, the General Partner shall determine whether to make (and, if necessary, revoke) any tax election available to the Partnership under the Code or any state tax law; provided, however, upon the request of any Partner, the General Partner shall make the election under Code Section 754 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Partnership shall elect to deduct expenses, if any, incurred by it in organizing the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of Code Section 709.
Section 6.Withholding
. Each Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from or pay to any taxing authority on behalf of such Partner any tax that the General Partner determines the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Partner. Any amount paid to any taxing authority which does not constitute a reduction in the amount otherwise distributable to such Partner shall be treated as a loan from the Partnership to such Partner, which loan shall bear interest at the “prime rate” as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal plus two (2) percentage points, and shall be repaid within ten (10) business days after request for repayment from the General Partner. The obligation to repay any such loan shall be secured by such Partner’s Partnership Interest and each Partner hereby grants the Partnership a security interest in his Partnership Interest for the purposes set forth in this Section 7.6, this Section 7.6 being intended to serve as a security agreement for purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code with the General Partner having in respect hereof all of the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Each Partner agrees to take such reasonable actions as the General Partner may request to perfect and continue the perfection of the security interest granted hereby. In the event any Partner fails to repay any deemed loan pursuant to this Section 7.6 the Partnership shall be entitled to avail itself of any rights and remedies it may have. Furthermore, upon the expiration of ten (10) business days after demand for payment, the General Partner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make the payment to the Partnership on behalf of the defaulting Partner and thereupon be subrogated to the rights of the Partnership with respect to such defaulting Partner.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any successor to a General Partner by merger, consolidation, share exchange or other similar transaction shall, without further act, be the General Partner hereunder, and such merger, consolidation share exchange or other similar transaction shall not constitute an assignment for purposes of this Agreement, and the Partnership shall continue without dissolution.
Section 4.Restrictions on Transfer and Withdrawal by Limited Partner.
(A)Subject to the provisions of Section 8.4(D), no Limited Partner may Transfer all or any portion of his Partnership Interest without first obtaining the Consent of the General Partner, which Consent may be granted or withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner.

(E)No Transfer of Limited Partnership Units shall be made if such Transfer would (i) in the opinion of Partnership counsel, cause the Partnership to be terminated for federal income tax purposes or to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation (rather than a partnership) for federal income tax purposes; (ii) be effected through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Code Section 7704 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, (iii) in the opinion of Partnership counsel, violate the provisions of applicable securities laws; (iv) violate the terms of (or result in a default or acceleration under) any law, rule, regulation, agreement or commitment binding on the Partnership; (v) cause the Partnership to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Section 4975(e) of the Code); (vi) in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, cause any portion of the underlying assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101; or (vii) result in a deemed distribution to any Partner attributable to a failure to meet the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-2(d)(1), unless such Partner consents thereto.

(4)The assignor or transferee obtains the written Consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.

(C)If, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Liquidator, there are Partnership Assets that the Liquidator will not be able to liquidate, or if the liquidation of such assets would result in undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may distribute such Partnership Assets to the Partners in-kind, in lieu of cash, as tenants-in-common in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2(A).

In connection with each such Redemption Notice, the General Partner shall have the option of either (i) complying with the redemption procedures contained in Article IX or (ii) at the request of any Limited Partner, delivering to such Limited Partner, Partnership property approximately equal in value to the value of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units upon the assumption by such Limited Partner of such Limited Partner’s proportionate share of the Partnership’s liabilities and payment by such Limited Partner (or the Partnership) of any excess (or deficiency) of the value of the property so delivered over the value of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units. In lieu of requiring such Limited Partner to assume its proportionate share of Partnership liabilities, the General Partner may deliver to such Limited Partner unencumbered Partnership property approximately equal in value to the net value of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units.
Section 3.Effect of Treasury Regulations.
(A)In the event the Partnership is “liquidated” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions made to Partners pursuant to Section 10.2(A) shall be made within the time period provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2).

Any deficit restoration obligation pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be for the benefit of creditors of the Partnership or any other Person to whom any debts, liabilities, or obligations are owed by (or who otherwise has any claim against) the Partnership or the general partner, in its capacity as General Partner of the Partnership. For purposes of computing each Contributor Partner’s deficit balance in its Capital Account and its corresponding obligations to contribute additional capital to the Partnership, only items of income, gain and loss actually recognized shall be reflected.
(B)In the event the Partnership is “liquidated” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) but there has been no dissolution of the Partnership under Section 10.1 hereof, then the Partnership Assets shall not be liquidated, the Partnership’s liabilities shall not be paid or discharged and the Partnership’s affairs shall not be wound up. In the event of such a liquidation there shall be deemed to have been a distribution of Partnership Assets in kind to the Partners in accordance with Section 10.2 followed by a recontribution of such Partnership Assets by the Partners in the same proportions.
Section 4.Time for Winding-Up
. Anything in this Article X notwithstanding, a reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding-up of the business and affairs of the Partnership and the liquidation of the Partnership Assets in order to minimize any potential for losses as a result of such process. During the period of winding-up, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall govern the rights and relationships of the Partners inter se.

ARTICLE XI. | AMENDMENTS AND MEETINGS

Section 1.Amendment Procedure.
(A)Amendments to this Agreement may be proposed by the General Partner. An amendment proposed at any time when the General Partner holds less than 90% of all Partnership Units will be adopted and effective only if it receives the Consent of the holders of a majority of the Partnership Units not then held by the General Partner and an amendment proposed at any time when the General Partner holds 90% or more of all Partnership Units may be made by the General Partner without the Consent of any Limited Partner; provided, however, no amendment shall be adopted if it would (i) convert a Limited Partner’s Interest in the Partnership into a general partner interest, (ii) increase the liability of a Limited Partner under this Agreement, (iii) except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, alter the Partner’s rights to distributions set forth in Article V, or the allocations set forth in Article V, (iv) alter or modify any aspect of the Partners’ rights with respect to redemption of Partnership Units, (v) cause the early termination of the Partnership (other than pursuant to the terms hereof) or (vi) amend this Section 11.1(A), in each case without the Consent of each Partner adversely affected thereby. In connection with any proposed amendment of this Agreement requiring Consent, the General Partner shall either call a meeting to solicit the vote of the Partners or seek the written vote of the Partners to such amendment. In the case of a request for a written vote, the General Partner shall be authorized to impose such

reasonable time limitations for response, but in no event less than ten (10) days, with the failure to respond being deemed a vote consistent with the vote of the General Partner.
(B)Notwithstanding the foregoing, amendments may be made to this Agreement by the General Partner, without the Consent of any Limited Partner, to (i) add to the representations, duties or obligations of the General Partner or surrender any right or power granted to the General Partner herein; (ii) cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein or make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder which will not be inconsistent with any other provision hereof; (iii) reflect the admission, substitution, termination or withdrawal of Partners in accordance with this Agreement; or (iv) satisfy any requirements, conditions or guidelines contained in any order, directive, opinion, ruling or regulation of a federal or state agency or contained in federal or state law. The General Partner shall reasonably promptly notify the Limited Partners whenever it exercises its authority pursuant to this Section 11.1(B).
(C)Within ten (10) days of the making of any proposal to amend this Agreement for which the Consent of any Limited Partner is required, the General Partner shall give all Limited Partners Notice of such proposal (along with the text of the proposed amendment and a statement of its purposes). Within ten (10) days following the effectiveness of any amendment to this Agreement, the General Partner shall give all Limited Partners Notice of such amendment (along with the text of such amendment) which may be comprised of a copy of any publicly filed report of the General Partner under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that describes and contains (including as an exhibit) the text of such amendment.
Section 2.Meetings and Voting.
(A)Meetings of Partners may be called by the General Partner. The General Partner shall give all Partners Notice of the purpose of such proposed meeting not less than seven (7) days nor more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of the meeting. Meetings shall be held at a reasonable time and place selected by the General Partner. Whenever the vote or Consent of Partners is permitted or required hereunder, such vote or Consent shall be requested by the General Partner and may be given by the Partners in the same manner as set forth for a vote with respect to an amendment to this Agreement in Section 11.1(A).
(B)Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Partners may be taken without a meeting if a written consent setting forth the action to be taken is signed by the Partners owning Percentage Interests required to vote in favor of such action, which consent may be evidenced in one or more instruments. Consents need not be solicited from any other Partner if the written consent of a sufficient number of Partners has been obtained to take the action for which such solicitation was required.
(C)Each Limited Partner may authorize any Person or Persons, including without limitation the General Partner, to act for him by proxy on all matters on which a Limited Partner may participate. Every proxy (i) must be signed by the Limited Partner or his attorney-in-fact, (ii) shall expire eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless the proxy provides otherwise and (iii) shall be revocable at the discretion of the Limited Partner granting such proxy.
Section 3.Voting of LB Units
. On any matter on which the Limited Partners shall be entitled to vote, consent or grant an approval or waiver, following the admissions of the LB Partners to the Partnership as Additional Limited Partners and through the Voting Termination Date, each holder of the LB Units shall be deemed (i) in connection with any matter submitted to a vote, to have cast all votes attributable to such holder’s LB Units in the same manner as the votes attributable to the Units held by the General Partner are cast on such matter, and (ii) in connection with any consent, approval or waiver, to have taken the same action as the General Partner shall have taken with respect to its Units in connection therewith. If the General Partner shall not have the right to vote, consent or grant an approval or waiver on a matter, each holder of LB Units shall vote or act as directed by the General Partner.
