AND WHEREAS, the General Partner desires to amend the Agreement as set out herein;

NOW THEREFORE,

Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction

This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Bermuda. Each of the Partners (other than governmental entities prohibited from submitting to the jurisdiction of a particular jurisdiction) will submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in Bermuda in any dispute, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each Partner waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any immunity from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process therein and further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any claim of inconvenient forum, improper venue or that any such court does not have jurisdiction over the Partner. Any final judgment against a Partner in any proceedings brought in any court in Bermuda will be conclusive and binding upon the Partner and may be enforced in the courts of any other jurisdiction of which the Partner is or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the General Partner consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Nothing in this Section 1.7 shall be deemed to apply to any suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Exchange Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Partnership shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 1.7. The foregoing submission to jurisdiction and waivers will survive the dissolution, liquidation, winding up and termination of the Partnership.

The lesser of (1) the amount of Income for Canadian Tax Purposes and (2) the aggregate of the positive amounts included in Income for Canadian Tax Purposes described in 4.4.4.4 will be allocated exclusively and specially (the “Special Income Allocation Amount”) only to the Limited Partners whose Equity Units are acquired, bought, bought back or otherwise purchased by the Partnership or the Affiliate, on the basis that each such Limited Partner shall be allocated the proportion of the Special Income Allocation Amount that the number of Equity Units acquired by the Partnership or the Affiliate from the Limited Partner is of the total number of Equity Units acquired from all such Limited Partners. The balance (if any) of the Income for Canadian Tax Purposes (being the amount remaining after subtracting the Special Income Allocation Amount from the Income for Canadian Tax Purposes) will be allocated to all Partners in accordance with Section 4.4.2.

For greater certainty: (a) the money or property received by a Limited Partner whose Equity Units are acquired, bought, bought back or otherwise purchased by the Partnership or the Affiliate shall not be considered to be a “distribution” for the purposes of Section 4.4.2; (b) the allocation of income described in this Section 4.4.4 shall not apply to an Affiliate that has acquired Equity Units from Limited Partners pursuant to an offer or program described in Section 4.4.4.1 and such Equity Units are subsequently acquired, bought back or otherwise purchased for cancellation by the Partnership; and (c) the money or property received by the Affiliate on such a subsequent acquisition by the Partnership of the Equity Units acquired by the Affiliate from Limited Partners pursuant to an offer or program described in Section 4.4.4.1 shall not be considered to be a “distribution” for the purposes of Section 4.4.2.

This Amendment shall be effective upon the date first written above.

This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Bermuda.
