Rights and Duties of the Partners. (a) The Limited Partners as limited partners in the Partnership shall not participate in the conduct, control or management of the business of the Partnership, and the Limited Partners shall have no power to act for or bind the Partnership. Except as expressly provided herein, the Units do not confer any rights upon the Limited Partners to participate in the conduct, control or management of the business of the Partnership described in this Agreement, which conduct, control and management shall be vested exclusively in the General Partner. In all matters relating to or arising out of the conduct of the operation of the Partnership, the decision of the General Partner shall be the decision of the Partnership. Except as required or permitted by Law, or expressly provided in the ultimate sentence of this Section 6.1(a) or by separate agreement with the Partnership, no Partner who is not also a General Partner (and acting in such capacity) shall take any part in the management or control of the operation or business of the Partnership in its capacity as a Partner, nor shall any Partner who is not also a General Partner (and acting in such capacity) have any right, authority or power to act for or on behalf of or bind the Partnership in his or its capacity as a Partner in any respect or assume any obligation or responsibility of the Partnership or of any other Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership may employ one or more Partners from time to time, and such Partners, in their capacity as employees of the Partnership, may take part in the control and management of the business of the Partnership to the extent such authority and power to act for or on behalf of the Partnership has been delegated to them by the General Partner. (b) Pursuant to Pennsylvania law, each Limited Partner shall not be liable for losses or debts of the Partnership beyond the aggregate amount such Partner has contributed to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement plus his share of the undistributed net profits of the Partnership, except that a Partner may be liable under Pennsylvania law to repay certain distributions received by it.
