Except as otherwise expressly required by law, a Limited Partner, in its capacity as such, shall have no liability in excess of (i) the amount of its Capital Contribution, (ii) its share of any undistributed profits and assets of the Partnership, (iii) its obligation to make other payments expressly provided for in this Agreement, and (iv) the amount of any distributions wrongfully distributed to it. It is the intent of the parties hereto that no distribution to any Limited Partner shall be deemed a return of any money or other properly in violation of the Act. The payment of any such money or distribution of any such property to a Limited Partner shall be deemed to be a compromise within the meaning of Section 17-502(b) of the Act, and the Limited Partner receiving any such money or property shall not be required to return any such money or property to any Person, the Partnership or any creditor of the Partnership. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Limited Partner is obligated to return such money or property, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Limited Partner and not of the General Partner.

     Section 9.02. No Management by Limited Partners. No Limited Partner, in its capacity as such, shall take part in the day-to-day management, operation or control of the business and affairs at the Partnership. The Limited Partner shall not have any right, power, or authority to transact any business in the name of the Partnership or to act for or on behalf of or to bind the Partnership. A Limited Partner shall have no rights other than those specifically provided herein or granted by law.

     Section 9.03.Employees, Agents or Officers of the Partnership or a General Partner. A Limited Partner, or an employee, agent, director or officer of a Limited Partner, may also be an employee, agent, director or officer of the Partnership or a General Partner. The existence of these relationships and acting in such capacities will not result in a Limited Partner being deemed to be participating in the control of the business of the Partnership or otherwise affect the liability of the Limited Partner or the Person so acting.

          (b) All information contained in any statement or other document distributed to any Partner pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof shall be deemed accurate, binding, and conclusive with respect to such Partner unless written disapproval is made thereto by such Partner to the Partnership within twenty (20) days after the receipt of such statement or other document by such Partner.

ARTICLE XI

ASSIGNABILITY; ADMISSION AND WITHDRAWAL OF PARTNERS

     Section 11.01. Assignability of a General Partner’s Interest in the Partnership. A General Partner may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, mortgage, or otherwise hypothecate (hereinafter in this Article XI hereof collectively referred to as “assign” or “assignment”) the whole or any part of its interest as a General Partner in the Partnership without the prior Majority Vote of the Limited Partners. An assignee of all or part of the interest of a General Partner in the Partnership shall be admitted to the Partnership as a general partner of the Partnership only if a Majority Vote of the Limited Partners approves in writing the admission of such assignee as an additional or successor General Partner. If such vote is obtained, the admission shall be effective upon the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Limited Partnership with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware which indicates that such Person has been admitted to the Partnership as a general partner of the Partnership, and shall occur, and for all purposes shall be deemed to have occurred, immediately prior to the time the assignor ceases to be a general partner of the Partnership. Upon the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Limited Partnership with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware which indicates that a General Partner is no longer a general partner of the Partnership, such General Partner shall at that time cease to be a general partner of the Partnership.

     Section 11.02. Assignability of a Limited Partner’s Interest in the Partnership. No Limited Partner may assign the whole or any part of its interest in the Partnership without the prior written consent of the General Partner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (taking into account the best interests of the Partnership). If the prior written consent of the General Partner is obtained for any such assignment, such assignment shall, nevertheless, not entitle the assignee to become a Substituted Limited Partner or to be entitled to exercise or

receive any of the rights, powers or benefits of a Limited Partner other than the right to receive distributions to which the assigning Limited Partner would be entitled, unless the assigning Limited Partner designates, in a written instrument delivered to the General Partner, its assignee to become a Substituted Limited Partner and the General Partner, in its sole discretion, consents to the admission of such assignee as a Limited Partner; and provided further, that such assignee shall not become a Substituted Limited Partner without having first executed an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the General Partner accepting and adopting the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including a counterpart signature page to this Agreement, and without having paid to the Partnership a fee sufficient to cover all reasonable expenses of the Partnership in connection with its admission as a Substituted Limited Partner.

     Section 11.03. Recognition of Assignment by Partnership. No assignment, or any part thereof, that is in violation of Article XI hereof shall be valid or effective, and neither the Partnership nor the General Partner shall recognize the same for the purpose of making distributions of Partnership Net Cash Flow pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof with respect to such Partnership interest, or part thereof. Neither the Partnership nor the General Partner shall incur any liability as a result of refusing to make any such distributions to the transferee of any such invalid assignment.

     Section 11.04. Effective Date of Assignment. Any valid assignment of a Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership, or part thereof, pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 11.02 hereof shall be effective as of the close of business on the last day of the calendar month in which the General Partner gives its written consent to such assignment (or the last day of the calendar month in which such assignment occurs, if later). The Partnership shall, from the effective date of such assignment, thereafter pay all further distributions of Net Cash Flow, on account of the Partnership interest (or part thereof) so assigned, to the assignee of such interest, or part thereof. As between any Partner and its assignee, Profits and Losses for the fiscal year of the Partnership in which such assignment occurs shall be apportioned for federal income-tax purposes in accordance with any manner permitted under Section 706(d) of the Code as such Partner and its assignee may agree to.

     Section 11.05. Death, Incompetency, Bankruptcy, or Dissolution of a Limited Partner. The death, incompetency, Bankruptcy, dissolution or other cessation to exist as a legal entity of a Limited ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not, in and of itself, dissolve the Partnership. In any such event, the legal representative or successor of such Limited Partner may exercise all of the rights of such Limited Partner for the purpose of settling its estate or administering its property, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including any power of an assignee to become a Limited Partner.

     Section 11.06. Withdrawal from the Partnership. Except as provided in this Agreement, a General Partner or a Limited Partner may not withdraw as a general partner of the Partnership or as a limited partner of the Partnership, as the case may be.

     Section 11.07. Removal of General Partner. A General Partner may be removed as a general partner of the Partnership with or without cause upon (i) the approval of the Limited Partners having, in the aggregate, not less than eighty percent (80%) of the Outstanding Units, and (ii) the election by such Limited Partners of a successor General Partner. Upon any such election, all Partners shall be bound thereby and shall be deemed to have approved thereof Such successor General Partner shall be deemed admitted to the Partnership immediately prior to the removal of the predecessor General Partner and shall continue the Partnership without dissolution. A successor General Partner shall be admitted as a general partner of the Partnership upon the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Limited Partnership with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware which indicates that the successor General Partner has been admitted as a general partner of the Partnership and that the removed General Partner is no longer a general partner of the Partnership.

ARTICLE XII

EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION OF
THE GENERAL PARTNER AND OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS

     Section 12.01. Exculpatory Provisions.

          (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement, whether express or implied, or obligation or duty at law or in equity, neither the General Partner, its Affiliates, nor any of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners, employees, representatives or agents nor any officer, employee, representative or agent of the Partnership and its Affiliates (individually, a “Covered Person” and collectively, the “Covered Persons”) shall be liable to the Partnership or any Partner for any act or omission (in relation to the Partnership, this Agreement, any related document or any transaction or investment contemplated hereby or thereby) taken or omitted in good faith by a Covered Person and in the reasonable belief that such act or omission is in or is not contrary to the best interests of the Partnership and is within the scope of authority granted to such Covered Person by this Agreement, provided that such act or omission does not constitute Disabling Conduct.

          (b) A Covered Person may rely and shall incur no liability in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, paper, document, signature or writing reasonably believed by it to be genuine, and may rely on a certificate signed by an officer of any Person in order to ascertain any fact with respect to such Person or within such Person’s knowledge and may rely on an opinion of counsel selected by such Covered Person with respect to legal matters unless such Covered Person acts in bad faith.

     Section 12.02. Indemnification of General Partner and Other Indemnified Persons.

          (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the General Partner, its Affiliates and all directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees, representatives and agents of the General Partner and its Affiliates and all officers, employees, representatives and agents of the Partnership and its Affiliates (individually, an “Indemnified Person” and collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, liabilities, expenses (including all fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which the Indemnified Person may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its management or the affairs of the Partnership, or the General Partner or its status as a General Partner, an Affiliate thereof, or partner, director, officer, stockholder, employee, representative or agent thereof or of the Partnership or a Person serving at the request of the Partnership, the General Partner or any Affiliate thereof in another entity in a similar capacity, which relates to or arises out of the Partnership, its property, its businesses or affairs, and regardless of whether the liability or expense accrued at or relates to, in whole or in part, any time before, on or after the date hereof. The negative disposition of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnified Person acted in a manner contrary to the standard set forth in Section 12.02(b) hereof. Any indemnification pursuant to Section 12.02 hereof shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership.

          (b) An Indemnified Person shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 12.02 hereof with respect to any claim, issue or matter in which it has engaged in Disabling Conduct; provided, however, that a court of competent jurisdiction, may determine upon application that, despite such Disabling Conduct, in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Indemnified Person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such liabilities and expenses as the court may deem proper.

          (c) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Partnership prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Partnership of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in Section 12.02 hereof.

          (d) The indemnification provided by Section 12.02 hereof shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnified Person may be entitled under any agreement, by law or vote of the Partners as a matter of law or otherwise, both as to action in the Indemnified Person’s capacity as the General Partner, an Affiliate thereof or a partner, director, officer, stockholder, partner, representative, employee or agent thereof, or an officer, employee, representative or agent of the Partnership or an Affiliate thereof and, as to action in any other capacity, shall continue as to an Indemnified Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of an Indemnified Person.

          (e) The General Partner and the Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance, to the extent and in such amounts as the General Partner shall, in its sole discretion, deem reasonable, on behalf of Indemnified Persons and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with activities of the Partnership or such indemnities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. The General Partner and the Partnership may enter into indemnity contracts with Indemnified Persons and adopt written procedures pursuant to which arrangements are made for the advancement of expenses and the funding of obligations under Section 12.02 hereof and containing such other procedures regarding indemnification as are appropriate.

          (f) In no event may any Indemnified Person subject the Limited Partners to personal liability by reason of any indemnification of an Indemnified Person under this Agreement or otherwise.

          (g) An Indemnified Person shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under Section 12.02 hereof because the Indemnified Person had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction is otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

          (h) The provisions of Section 12.02 hereof are for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons and their heirs, successors, assigns, administrators and personal representatives and shall not be deemed to be for the benefit of any other Persons. The provisions of Section 12.02 hereof shall not be amended in any way that would adversely affect the Indemnified Person without the consent of the Indemnified Person.

     Section 12.03. Duties of a General Partner and Others Controlling a General Partner. To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnified Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or to the Partners, the General Partner and any other Indemnified Person acting in connection with the Partnership’s businesses or affairs, shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnified Person.

The Partners shall continue to share Profits and Losses during liquidation in the same proportions as specified in Article V hereof as before liquidation. Each Partner shall be furnished with a statement prepared by the Partnership’s certified public accountant that shall set forth the assets and liabilities of the Partnership as of the date of dissolution. The proceeds of liquidation shall be distributed, as realized, in the following order and priority:

     Section 13.05. Methods Of Liquidation. The Partnership may be liquidated by either:

     Section 16.02. Amendments.

          (a) Except as provided in (b) of Section 16.02 hereof, no amendment to this Agreement shall be effective or binding upon the parties hereto without the written consent of the General Partner and a Majority Vote; provided, however, that any modification or amendment that would: (i) increase the amount of the capital contributions to be made by any Partner, (ii) increase the liability of the Limited Partners, or (iii) materially adversely affect the rights of the Limited Partners under this Agreement shall require the consent of the General Partner and each Limited Partner.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the General Partner may amend this Partnership Agreement without the consent of any Limited Partner:

     (5) to modify any provision of this Agreement, if, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership and the General Partner, such modification is necessary to prevent the Partnership from being treated for tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation, rather than being

taxable as a partnership, to prevent the Partnership from being treated as a “publicly traded partnership” as defined in the Code.

All references herein to “Articles”, “Sections” and paragraphs shall refer to corresponding provisions of this Agreement.

     Section 16.10. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted.
