(c)           Curative Allocations.  The allocations set forth in Sections 5.3(a) and (b) hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations.  It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 5.3(c).  Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all such items were allocated pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2 without regard to the Regulatory Allocations.

(d)           Special Allocation.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, but subject to Section 5.4, all income, gain, loss and deduction related to the Contributed Units shall be allocated to the Partners in proportion to their relative Unit Percentages.

5.4          Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c)

(a)           Except as otherwise provided herein, for federal income tax purposes, (i) each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2, and (ii) each tax credit shall be allocated to the Partners in the same manner as the receipt or expenditure giving rise to such credit is allocated pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2.

(b)           In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any Property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such Property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value (computed in accordance with the definition herein of “Gross Asset Value”).  The Partnership shall use the remedial method of allocations specified in Treas. Reg. §1.704-3(d), or successor regulations, unless otherwise required by law, with respect to the initial contribution property set forth on Schedule I.

(c)           In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the definition herein of “Gross Asset Value”, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation

between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.

(d)           Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the General Partner in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement; provided, that the Partnership, in the discretion of the General Partner, may make, or not make, “curative” or “remedial” allocations (within the meaning of the Regulations under Code Section 704(c)) including, but not limited to, “curative” allocations which offset the effect of the “ceiling rule” for a prior Taxable Year (within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-3(c)(3)(ii)) and “curative” allocations from disposition of contributed property (within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-3(c)(3)(iii)(B)).  Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.4 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

5.5          Change in Partnership Percentage

In the event that the Partners’ Partnership Percentages change during a Taxable Year, Profits and Losses shall be allocated taking into account the Partners’ varying Percentage Interests for such Taxable Year, determined on a daily, monthly or other basis as determined by the General Partner, using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

5.6          Withholding

Each Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from income or distributions allocable to such Partner and to pay over any taxes payable by the Partnership or any of its Affiliates as a result of such Partner’s participation in the Partnership; if and to the extent that the Partnership shall be required to withhold any such taxes, such Partner shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have received a distribution from the Partnership as of the time such withholding is required to be paid, which distribution shall be deemed to be a distribution to such Partner to the extent that the Partner is then entitled to receive a distribution.  To the extent that the aggregate of such distributions in respect of a Partner for any period exceeds the distributions to which such Partner is entitled for such period, the amount of such excess shall be considered a demand loan from the Partnership to such Partner, with interest at the rate of interest per annum that Citibank, N.A., or any successor entity thereto, announces from time to time as its prime lending rate, which interest shall be treated as an item of Partnership income, until discharged by such Partner by repayment, which may be made in the sole discretion of the General Partner out of distributions to which such Partner would otherwise be subsequently entitled.  The withholdings referred to in this Section 5.6 shall be made at the maximum applicable statutory rate under applicable tax law unless the General Partner shall have received an opinion of counsel or other evidence, satisfactory to the General Partner, to the effect that a lower rate is applicable, or that no withholding is applicable.

ARTICLE VI

(c)           The General Partner is the tax matters partner for purposes of Section 6231 of the Code and analogous provisions of state law.  The tax matters partner has the exclusive authority and discretion to make any elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership under any provisions of the Code or any other applicable laws.

6.4          Rights of Limited Partners

The Limited Partners will not be personally liable for any obligations of the Partnership nor will they have any obligation to make contributions to the Partnership in excess of their respective Capital Contributions required under Section 3.1 or have any liability for the repayment or discharge of the debts and obligations of the Partnership except to the extent provided herein or as required by law.  The Limited Partners shall take no part in the management, control or operation of the Partnership’s business and shall have no power to bind the Partnership and no right or authority to act for the Partnership or to vote on matters other than the matters set forth in this Agreement or as required by applicable law.

ARTICLE VII
TRANSFERS OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

7.1          Transfer of Limited Partnership Interests

(a)           No Limited Partner may Transfer all or any part of such Partner’s Partnership Interest to any Person except (i) to a Permitted Transferee pursuant to Section 7.2, or (ii) pursuant to the terms of Section 7.8, or (iii) in the case of Kafu, a transfer of up to a 6% Partnership Interest to First Union Investors, Inc. (“First Union”) within 90 days from the date hereof; provided, however, any such Transfer under (i) or (ii) above shall comply with the terms of Section 7.1(b).  Any purported Transfer of a Partnership Interest or a portion thereof in violation of the terms of this Agreement shall be null and void and of no force and effect.  Except upon a Transfer of all of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest in accordance with Section 7.1, no Limited Partner shall have the right to withdraw as a Partner of the Partnership.

(b)           As a condition to a Transfer by a Limited Partner of all or any part of such Partner’s Partnership Interest to a transferee as permitted under Section 7.1(a)(i) or (ii) (a “Partnership Transfer”), such Partner shall simultaneously Transfer (the “Membership Transfer”) to such transferee an amount of such Partner’s Membership Interest equal to:  (i) such Partner’s Membership Interest, multiplied by (ii) a percentage equal to (1) the portion of such Partner’s Partnership Interest to be Transferred to such transferee, divided by (2) such Partner’s Partnership Interest immediately before such Transfer.  If for any reason the Membership Transfer does not occur simultaneously with the Partnership Transfer, then the Partnership Transfer shall be null and void and of no force and effect.

(c)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Limited Partner may pledge, mortgage or otherwise subject its Limited Partnership Interest to any Encumbrance.

(d)           So long as it or its Permitted Transferee remains a Limited Partner, Sable may not effect a Sable Change of Control.

(e)           In the event that JCF resigns (other than for Good Reason) from his position as Chief Executive Officer of Rodeo, or is terminated for Cause, during the eighteen month period ending November 8, 2002, the occurrence of such event shall be deemed a Transfer to a Non-Qualifying Transferee of the Limited Partnership Interest of Sable Investments; provided, however, that fair market value, with respect to such deemed Transfer for purposes of Section 7.2, shall not be less than Sable’s initial Capital Contribution.

7.2          Permitted Transferees

(a)           Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.8, each Limited Partner shall, subject to Section 7.1(b), have the right to Transfer (but not to substitute the transferee as a substitute Partner in such Partner’s place, except in accordance with Section 7.3), by a written instrument, all or any part of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest to a Permitted Transferee. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if the Permitted Transferee is such because it was an Affiliate of the transferring Limited Partner at the time of such Transfer or the Transfer was a Permitted Transfer under clause (a) of the definition herein of “Permitted Transfer” and, at any time after such Transfer, such Permitted Transferee ceases to be an Affiliate of such Limited Partner or such Transfer or such Permitted Transferee ceases to qualify under such clause (a) (a “Non-Qualifying Transferee”), such Transfer shall be deemed to not be a Permitted Transfer and shall be subject to Section 7.8.  Pursuant to Section 7.8, such transferring Limited Partner or such transferring Limited Partner’s legal representative shall deliver the First Refusal Notice promptly after the time when such transferee ceases to be an Affiliate of such transferring Limited Partner or such Transfer or such Permitted Transferee ceases to qualify under clause (a) of the definition herein of “Permitted Transfer”, and such transferring Limited Partner shall otherwise comply with the terms of Section 7.8 with respect to such Transfer; provided, that the purchase price for such Transfer for purposes of Section 7.8 shall be an amount agreed upon by such transferring Limited Partner and the General Partner or, if such Limited Partner and the General Partner cannot agree on a price within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the First Refusal Notice, such price shall be the fair market value of the Partnership Interest transferred pursuant to the Transfer as of the date the transferee ceased to be an Affiliate of such transferring Limited Partner or such Transfer or such Permitted Transferee ceases to qualify under clause (a) of the definition herein of “Permitted Transfer” (such date, the “Non-Qualifying Date”), as determined at the Partnership’s expense by a nationally recognized investment banking firm mutually selected by such transferring Limited Partner and the General Partner.  If such transferring Limited Partner and the General Partner are unable, within ten (10) days after the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period, to mutually agree upon an investment banking firm, then each of such transferring Limited Partner and the General Partner shall choose a nationally recognized investment banking firm and the two investment banking firms so chosen shall choose a third nationally recognized investment banking firm which shall determine the fair market value of the Partnership Interest transferred pursuant to such Transfer at the Partnership’s expense.  The determination of fair market value shall be based on the value that a willing buyer with knowledge of all relevant facts would pay a willing seller for all the outstanding equity

securities of the Partnership in connection with an auction for the Partnership as a going concern and shall not take into account any acquisitions made by the Partnership or its Affiliates or any other events subsequent to the Non-Qualifying Date and shall not be subject to any discount for a sale of a minority interest.  If such transferring Limited Partner fails to comply with all the terms of Section 7.8, such Transfer shall be null and void and of no force and effect.  No Non-Qualifying Transferee shall be entitled to receive any distributions from the Partnership on or after the Non-Qualifying Date and any distributions made in respect of the Partnership Interests on or after the Non-Qualifying Date and held by such Non-Qualifying Transferee shall be paid to the Limited Partner who transferred such Partnership Interests or otherwise to the rightful owner thereof as reasonably, determined by the General Partner.

(b)           Unless and until admitted as a substitute Limited Partner pursuant to Section 7.3, a transferee of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest, in whole or in part, shall be an assignee with respect to such Transferred Partnership Interest and shall not be entitled to become, or to exercise the rights of, a Limited Partner, including the right to vote, the right to require any information or accounting of the Partnership’s business, or the right to inspect the Partnership’s books and records.  Such transferee shall only be entitled to receive, to the extent of the Partnership Interest Transferred to such transferee, the share of distributions and profits, including distributions representing the return of Capital Contributions, to which the transferor would otherwise be entitled with respect to the Transferred Partnership Interest.  Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(b), the transferor shall have the right to vote such Transferred Partnership Interest until the transferee is admitted to the Partnership as a substitute Limited Partner with respect to the Transferred Partnership Interest.

7.3          Substitute Limited Partners

No transferee of all or part of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest shall become a substitute Limited Partner in place of the transferor unless and until:

(a)           such Transfer is in compliance with the terms of Section 7.1;

(b)           the transferee has executed an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the General Partner accepting and adopting, and agreeing to be bound by, the terms and provisions of the Certificate and this Agreement; and

(c)           the transferee has caused to be paid all reasonable expenses of the Partnership in connection with the admission of the transferee as a substitute Limited Partner.

Upon satisfaction of all the foregoing conditions with respect to a particular transferee, the General Partner shall cause the books and records of the Partnership to reflect the admission of the transferee as a substitute Limited Partner to the extent of the Transferred Partnership Interest held by such transferee.

7.4          Effect of Admission as a Substitute Limited Partner

A transferee who has become a substitute Limited Partner has, to the extent of the Transferred Partnership Interest, all the rights, powers and benefits of, and is subject to the obligations, restrictions and liabilities of a Partner under, the Certificate, this Agreement and the Act.  Upon admission of a transferee as a substitute Limited Partner, the transferor of the Partnership Interest so held by the substitute Limited Partner shall cease to be a Partner of the Partnership to the extent of such Transferred Partnership Interest.

7.5          Consent

Each Partner hereby agrees that upon satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Article VII with respect to any proposed Transfer, the transferee may be admitted as a Partner without any further action by a Partner hereunder.

7.6          No Dissolution

If a Limited Partner Transfers all of its Partnership Interest pursuant to this Article VII and the transferee of such Partnership Interest is admitted as a Limited Partner pursuant to Section 7.3, such Person shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Partner effective on the effective date of the Transfer and the Partnership shall not dissolve pursuant to Section 8.1.

7.7          Additional Limited Partners

Subject to Section 3.2, any Person acceptable to the General Partner may become an additional Limited Partner of the Partnership for such consideration as the General Partner shall determine, provided that such additional Limited Partner complies with all the requirements of a transferee under Section 7.3(b) and (c).

7.8          Right of First Refusal

The Limited Partners shall have the following right of first refusal:

(a)           If at any time any of the Limited Partners (a “Selling Partner”) has received and wishes to accept a bona fide offer (the “Offer”) for cash from a third party (the “Offeror”) for all or part of such Selling Partner’s Partnership Interest (and a proportionate amount of such Selling Partner’s Membership Interest in accordance with Section 7.1(b)), such Selling Partner shall give Notice thereof (the “First Refusal Notice”) to each of the other Partners, other than any Non-Purchasing Partners (as hereinafter defined), and the Partnership.  The First Refusal Notice shall state the portion of the Selling Partner’s Partnership Interest and Membership Interest that the Selling Partner wishes to sell (the “Optioned Interest”), the price and all other material terms of the Offer, the name of the Offeror, and certification from the Selling Partner affirming that the Offer is bona fide and that the description thereof is true and correct, and that the Offeror has stated that it will purchase the Optioned Interest if the rights of first refusal herein described are not exercised.

(b)           Each of the Limited Partners other than the Selling Partner and any Non-Purchasing Partner (the “Non-Selling Partners”) shall have the right exercisable by Notice (an “Acceptance Notice”) given to the Selling Partner and the Partnership within twenty (20) days after receipt of the First Refusal Notice, to agree that it will purchase up to 100% of the Optioned Interest on the terms set forth in the First Refusal Notice; provided, however, if the Non-Selling Partners in the aggregate desire to purchase more than 100% of the Optioned Interest, each such Non-Selling Partner’s right to purchase the Optioned Interest shall be reduced (pro rata based on the percentage of the Optioned Interest for which such Non-Selling Partner has exercised its right to purchase hereunder compared to all other Non-Selling Partners, but not below such Non-Selling Partner’s Partnership Interest as a percentage of the aggregate Partnership Interests of all Non-Selling Partners who have exercised their right to purchase) so that such Non-Selling Partners purchase no more than 100% of the Optioned Interest.  If a Non-Selling Partner does not submit an Acceptance Notice within the twenty (20) day period set forth in this Section 7.8(b), such Non-Selling Partner shall be deemed to have rejected the offer to purchase any portion of the Optioned Interest.

(c)           If the Non-Selling Partners do not in the aggregate exercise the right to purchase all of the Optioned Interest by the expiration of the twenty (20) day period set forth in Section 7.8(b), then any Acceptance Notice shall be void and of no effect, and the Selling Partner shall be entitled to complete the proposed sale at any time in the thirty (30) day period commencing on the date of the First Refusal Notice, but only upon the terms set forth in the First Refusal Notice.  If no such sale is completed in such thirty (30) day period, the provisions hereof shall apply again to any proposed sale of the Optioned Interest.

(d)           If any Non-Selling Partner exercises the right to purchase the Optioned Interest as provided herein and such Non-Selling Partner(s) have elected to purchase all of the Optioned Interest, the purchase of such Optioned Interest shall be completed within the thirty (30) day period commencing on the date of delivery of the First Refusal Notice on the terms set forth in the First Refusal Notice.  If such Non-Selling Partner does not consummate the Purchase of such Optioned Interest, (x) the Selling Partner shall be entitled to all expenses of collection and (y) such Non-Selling Partner shall be deemed a “Non-Purchasing Partner” for the duration of this Agreement.

7.9          Transfer to Management Entity

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Rodeo, Inc. may, on the date hereof or within ninety (90) days from the date hereof sell up to 1.98% of the total Partnership Interests as of that date (the “Management Sale”) to the Management Entity.  The Management Sale shall be on substantially the same economic terms as the initial capital contribution of each of Sable, Kafu, E-Holdings, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Hedgecap, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Management Entity.

ARTICLE VIII
DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

8.1          Dissolution of Partnership

(a)           The Partnership shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up upon the first to occur of the following events:

(i)                                     the written election of the General Partner, in its sole discretion, to dissolve the Partnership;

(ii)                                  the occurrence of any event that results in the General Partner ceasing to be the general partner of the Partnership under the Act, provided that the Partnership will not be dissolved and required to be wound up in connection with any such event if (A) at the time of the occurrence of such event there is at least one remaining general partner of the Partnership who is hereby authorized to and does carry on the business of the Partnership, or (B) within 90 days after the occurrence of such event, all of the Limited Partners agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of the date of such event, if required, of one or more additional general partners of the Partnership;

(iii)                               the Transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership and the receipt and distribution of all the proceeds therefrom;

(iv)                              at any time that there are no limited partners of the Partnership, unless the business of the Partnership is continued in accordance with the Act; and

(v)                                 the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 17-802 of the Act.

(b)           The withdrawal, death, dissolution, retirement, resignation, expulsion, liquidation or bankruptcy of a Partner, the admission to the Partnership of a new General Partner or Limited Partner, the withdrawal of a Partner from the Partnership, or the transfer by a Partner of its Partnership Interest to a third party shall not, in and of itself, cause the Partnership to dissolve.

8.2          Final Accounting

Upon dissolution and winding up of the Partnership, an accounting will be made of the accounts of the Partnership and each Partner and of the Partnership’s assets, liabilities and operations from the date of the last previous accounting to the date of such dissolution.

8.3          Distributions Following Dissolution and Termination

(a)           Liquidating Trustee.  Upon the dissolution of the Partnership, such party as is designated by the General Partner will act as liquidating trustee of the Partnership (the “Liquidating Trustee”) and proceed to wind up the business and affairs of the Partnership in

accordance with the terms of this Agreement and applicable law.  The Liquidating Trustee will use its reasonable best efforts to sell all Partnership assets (except cash) in the exercise of its best judgment under the circumstances then presented, that it deems in the best interest of the Partners.  The Liquidating Trustee will attempt to convert all assets of the Partnership to cash so long as it can do so consistently with prudent business practice.  The Partners and their respective designees will have the right to purchase any Partnership property to be sold on liquidation, provided that the terms on which such sale is made are no less favorable than would otherwise be available from third parties.  The gains and losses from the sale of the Partnership assets, together with all other revenue, income, gain, deduction, expense, loss and credit during the period, will be allocated in accordance with Article V.  A reasonable amount of time shall be allowed for the period of winding up in light of prevailing market conditions and so as to avoid undue loss in connection with any sale of Partnership assets.  This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect during the period of winding up.  In addition, upon request of the General Partner and if the Liquidating Trustee determines that it would be imprudent to dispose of any non-cash assets of the Partnership, such assets may be distributed in kind to the Partners in lieu of cash, proportionately to their right to receive cash distributions hereunder.

(b)           Accounting.  The Liquidating Trustee will then cause proper accounting to be made of the Capital Account of each Partner, including recognition of gain or loss on any asset to be distributed in kind as if such asset had been sold for consideration equal to the fair market value of the asset at the time of the distribution.  The Partners intend that the allocations provided herein shall result in Capital Account balances in proportion to the Partnership Percentages of the Partners.

(c)           Liquidating Distributions.  In settling accounts after dissolution of the Partnership, the assets of the Partnership shall be paid to creditors of the Partnership and to the Partners in the following order:

(i)                               to creditors of the Partnership (including Partners) in the order of priority as provided by law whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof, and in connection therewith there shall be withheld such reasonable reserves for contingent, conditioned or unconditioned liabilities as the Liquidating Trustee in its reasonable discretion deems adequate, such reserves (or balances thereof) to be held and distributed in such manner and at such times as the Liquidating Trustee, in its discretion, deems reasonably advisable; provided, however, that such amounts be maintained in a separate bank account and that any amounts in such bank account remaining after three years be distributed to the Partners or their successors and assigns as if such amount had been available for distribution under Section 8.3(c)(ii); and then

(ii)                            to the Partners in proportion to the positive balances of their Capital Accounts, as fully adjusted pursuant to Section 3.4, including adjustment for all gains and losses actually or deemed realized upon disposition or distribution of assets in connection with the liquidation and winding up of the Partnership.

(iii)                         Any distribution to the Partners in liquidation of the Partnership shall be made by the later of the end of the taxable year in which the liquidation occurs or 90 days after the date of such liquidation.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term “liquidation” shall have the same meaning as set forth in Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(2)(ii) as in effect at such time and liquidating distributions shall be further deemed to be made pursuant to this Agreement upon the event of a liquidation as defined in such Regulation for which no actual liquidation occurs with a deemed recontribution by the Partners of such deemed liquidating distributions to the continuing Partnership pursuant to this Agreement.

(d)           The provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 8.3, are intended solely to benefit the Partners and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be construed as conferring any benefit upon any creditor of the Partnership, and no such creditor of the Partnership shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and no Partner shall have any duty or obligation to any creditor of the Partnership to issue any call for capital pursuant to this Agreement.

8.4          Termination of the Partnership

The Partnership shall terminate when all assets of the Partnership, after payment or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership, shall have been distributed to the Partners in the manner provided for in this Article VIII, and the Certificate shall have been canceled in the manner required by the Act.

8.5          No Action for Dissolution

The Limited Partners acknowledge that irreparable damage would be done to the goodwill and reputation of the Partnership if any Limited Partner should bring an action in court to dissolve the Partnership under circumstances where dissolution is not required by Section 8.1.  Accordingly, except where the General Partner has failed to cause the liquidation of the Partnership as required by Section 8.1 and except as specifically provided in Section 17-802, each Limited Partner hereby to the fullest extent permitted by law waives and renounces his right to initiate legal action to seek dissolution of the Partnership or to seek the appointment of a receiver or trustee to wind up the affairs of the Partnership, except in the cases of fraud, violation of law, bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or willful violation of this Agreement.

9.4          Financial Statements
