The right of indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall include the right to have paid on behalf of such Covered Person, or reimbursed by the Partnership for the reasonable expenses incurred by a Covered Person with respect to any Damages, including expenses incurred in collecting such amounts from the Partnership; provided that the Covered Person shall have given a written undertaking to reimburse the Partnership in the event it is subsequently determined that he, she or it is not entitled to such indemnification.

(b) The right of any Covered Person to the indemnification provided herein shall be cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Covered Person may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Covered Person's successors, assigns and legal representatives.

Section 2.10 Exculpation.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Covered Person shall be liable to the Partnership or any Limited Partner or any Affiliate of any Limited Partner for any Damages incurred by reason of any act performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Partnership in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership, unless such act or omission becomes subject to a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Covered Person was engaged in Disabling Conduct.

(b) A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Partnership and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Partnership by any Person (other than such Covered Person) as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person's professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Partnership, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits, losses, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to Partners might properly be paid.

Section 2.11 Fiduciary Duty.

(a) To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating to the Partnership or to any Limited Partner or any Affiliate of any Limited Partner (or other Person with any equity interest in the Partnership) or other Person bound by (or having rights pursuant to) the terms of this Agreement, a Covered Person acting pursuant to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Limited Partner or any Affiliate of any Limited Partner (or other Person) for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they expand or restrict the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or equity, are agreed by the Partners (and any other Person

bound by or having rights pursuant to this Agreement) to modify to that extent such other duties and liabilities of the Covered Person to the extent permitted by law.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (i) whenever a conflict of interest exists or arises between the General Partner and the Partnership or a Limited Partner, or (ii) whenever this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein provides that the General Partner shall act in a manner that is fair and reasonable to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, the General Partner shall resolve such conflict of interest or take such action, considering in each case the relative interest of the Partnership, each Limited Partner and the General Partner, to such conflict, agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such interests, any customary or accepted industry practices, and any applicable generally accepted accounting practices or principles. So long as the General Partner acts, based on the foregoing sentence, in good faith and in a manner consistent with the foregoing sentence, the resolution or action so made or taken by the General Partner shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or under applicable law, whenever in this Agreement the General Partner is permitted or required to make a decision or take an action or omit to do any of the foregoing acting solely in its capacity as the General Partner, the General Partner shall, except where an express standard is set forth, be entitled to make such decision in its sole discretion (and the words "in its sole discretion" should be deemed inserted therefor in each case in association with the words "General Partner," whether or not the words "sole discretion" are actually included in the specific provisions of this Agreement), and in so acting in its sole discretion the General Partner shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and, except as set forth in Section 2.11(b) in the case of a conflict of interest, shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Partnership, any of the Partnership's Affiliates, any Limited Partner or any other Person. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, if pursuant to this Agreement the General Partner, acting solely in its capacity as the General Partner, is permitted or required to make a decision in its "good faith" or under another express standard, the General Partner shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Agreement or otherwise other applicable law.

(d) The General Partner may consult with the legal counsel and accountants and any act or omission suffered or taken by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership in furtherance of the interests of the Partnership in good faith in reliance upon and in accordance with the advice of such counsel or accountants will be full justification for any such act or omission, and the General Partner will be fully protected in so acting or omitting to act so long as such counsel or accountants were selected with reasonable care.

Section 2.12 Confidentiality.

(a) Each Partner acknowledges and agrees that the information contained in the books and records of the Partnership is confidential and, except in the course of performing such Partner's duties as is necessary for the Partnership and its Affiliates, as required

by law or legal process or to enforce the terms of this Agreement, shall keep and retain in the strictest confidence and not to disclose to any Person all confidential matters of the Partnership or any Person included within Fortress and their respective Affiliates and successors and the other Partners, including, without limitation, the identity of the beneficial holders of interests in any fund or account managed by Fortress or any of its Subsidiaries, confidential information concerning the Partnership, any Person included within Fortress and their respective Affiliates and successors, the General Partner, the other Partners and any fund, account or investment managed by any Person included within Fortress, including marketing, investment, performance data, fund management, credit and financial information, and other business affairs of the Partnership, any Person included within Fortress and their respective Affiliates and successors, the General Partner, the other Partners and any fund, account or investment managed directly or indirectly by any Person included within Fortress learned by the Partner heretofore or hereafter. This clause 2.12(a) shall not apply to (i) any information that has been made publicly available by the Partnership or any of its Affiliates, becomes public knowledge (except as a result of an act of such Partner in violation of this Agreement) or is generally known to the business community and (ii) the disclosure of information to the extent necessary for a Partner to prepare and file his or her tax returns, to respond to any inquiries regarding the same from any taxing authority or to prosecute or defend any action, proceeding or audit by any taxing authority with respect to such returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Partner (and each employee, representative or other agent of such Partner) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of (x) the Partnership and (y) any of its transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Partners relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

(b) If a Partner commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of Section 2.12(a), the General Partner shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of such Section specifically enforced by injunctive relief or otherwise by any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post any bond or other security, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to the Partnership, the other Partners, Fortress or any of its Subsidiaries, and the accounts and funds managed by Fortress and that money damages alone shall not provide an adequate remedy to such Persons. Such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

Section 2.13 Insurance. The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance, to the extent and in such amounts as the General Partner shall deem reasonable, on behalf of Covered 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 any such Person in connection with the activities of the Partnership and/or its Subsidiaries regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power or obligation to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. The Partnership may enter into indemnity contracts with Covered Persons and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine and adopt written procedures pursuant to which arrangements are made for the advancement of expenses and the funding of obligations under this Section 2.13, and containing such other procedures regarding indemnification as are appropriate and consistent with this Agreement.

Section 2.14 Representations and Warranties. Each Partner hereby represents and warrants to the others and to the Partnership as follows:

(a) Such Partner has all requisite power to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement; the performance of its obligations hereunder will not result in a breach or a violation of, or a default under, any material agreement or instrument by which such Partner or any of such Partner's properties is bound or any statute, rule, regulation, order or other law to which it is subject, nor require the obtaining of any consent, approval, permit or license from or filing with, any governmental authority or other Person by such Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by such Partner of this Agreement.

(b) This Agreement constitutes (assuming its due authorization and execution by the other Partners) such Partner's legal, valid and binding obligation.

(c) Such Partner is acquiring its Interest for investment solely for such Partner's own account and not for distribution, transfer or sale to others in connection with any distribution or public offering.

(d) Such Partner (i) has received all information that such Partner deems necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to an investment in the Partnership and (ii) has had the unrestricted opportunity to make such investigation as such Partner desires pertaining to the Partnership and an investment therein and to verify any information furnished to such Partner.

(e) Such Partner understands that such Partner must bear the economic risk of an investment in the Partnership for an indefinite period of time because (i) the Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and (ii) the Interests may not be sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of except in accordance with this Agreement and then only if they are subsequently registered in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws is not required.

(f) Such Partner understands that the Partnership is not obligated to register the Interests for resale under any applicable federal or state securities laws and that the Partnership is not obligated to supply such Partner with information or assistance in complying with any exemption under any applicable federal or state securities laws.

ARTICLE III

INTERESTS AND ADMISSION OF PARTNERS

Section 3.1 Units.

(a) Interests in the Partnership shall be represented by Units. Initially, all Units shall be designated as "Class A Common Units" ("Class A Common Units") and "Class B Common Units" ("Class B Common Units"), and, except as expressly provided herein, a Class A Common Unit and a Class B Common Unit shall entitle the holder thereof to equal rights under this Agreement. From time to time, the General Partner may establish other classes or

series of Units pursuant to Section 3.2. Units may (but need not, in the sole discretion of the General Partner) be evidenced by a certificate (a "Certificate of Ownership") in the form set forth in Exhibit A (for Class A Common Units or Class B Common Units) or the Unit Designation relating to such Units (for other Units). The Certificate of Ownership may contain such legends as may be required by law or as may be appropriate to evidence, if approved by the General Partner pursuant to Section 8.1, the pledge of a Partner’s Units. Each Certificate of Ownership shall be signed by or on behalf of the General Partner by either manual or facsimile signature. The Certificates of Ownership of the Partnership shall be numbered and registered in the register or transfer books of the Partnership as they are issued. The Partnership shall act as registrar and transfer agent for the purposes of registering the ownership and Transfer of Units. If a Certificate of Ownership is defaced, lost or destroyed it may be replaced on such terms, if any, as to evidence and indemnity as the General Partner thinks fit.

(b) Transfer and Exchange. When Certificates of Ownership are presented to the Partnership with a request to register a Transfer, the Partnership shall register the Transfer or make the exchange on the register or transfer books of the Partnership if the requirements set forth in Section 8.1 of this Agreement for such transactions are met; provided, however, that any Certificates of Ownership presented or surrendered for registration of Transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of Transfer in form satisfactory to the Partnership duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. The Partnership shall not be required to register the Transfer, or exchange, any Certificate of Ownership if as a result the Transfer of the Units at issue would cause the Partnership to violate the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Investment Company Act (including by causing any violation of the laws, rules, regulations, orders and other directives of any governmental authority) or otherwise violate Section 8.1 of this Agreement.

(c) Record Holder. Except to the extent that the Partnership shall have received written notice of a Transfer of Units and such Transfer complies with the requirements of Section 8.1 of this Agreement applicable to such transaction, the Partnership shall be entitled to treat the individual or entity in whose name any Certificates of Ownership issued by the Partnership stand on the books of the Partnership as the absolute owner thereof, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such Units on the part of any other individual or entity.

(d) Class B Common Unit Voting Rights. Holders of Class B Common Units shall have no voting, consent or approval rights with respect to any matter submitted to holders of Units for their consent or approval, except as set forth in Sections 4.1(c) and 10.1(a).

(e) Automatic Conversion of Class B Common Units. If, as a result of an exchange pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Fortress or any of its Subsidiaries (excluding any Fortress Operating Group Entity and any Subsidiary of a Fortress Operating Group Entity) acquires any Class B Common Units, such Units will automatically convert into an equal number of Class A Common Units.

Section 3.2 Issuance of Additional Units. The General Partner may from time to time admit any Person as an additional Limited Partner of the Partnership (each such Person,

if so admitted, an "Additional Limited Partner" and collectively, the "Additional Limited Partners"). A Person shall be deemed admitted as a Limited Partner at the time such Person (i) executes this Agreement or a counterpart of this Agreement and (ii) is named as a Limited Partner on the attached Schedule A. Each Substitute Limited Partner shall be deemed an Additional Partner whose admission as an Additional Limited Partner has been approved by the General Partner for all purposes hereunder. Subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing requirements and Section 4.1(c), the General Partner is hereby expressly authorized to cause the Partnership to issue additional Units for such consideration and on such terms and conditions, and to such Persons, including the General Partner, any Limited Partner or any of their Affiliates, as shall be established by the General Partner in its sole discretion, all without the approval of any Partner or any other Person. Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to Section 4.1(c), the General Partner is expressly authorized to cause the Partnership to issue Units (i) upon the conversion, redemption or exchange of any debt, Units or other securities issued by the Partnership, (ii) for less than fair market value, so long as the General Partner concludes in good faith that such issuance is in the best interests of the Partnership and its Partners, and (iii) in connection with the merger of any other Person into the Partnership if the applicable merger agreement provides that Persons are to receive Units in exchange for their interests in the Person merging into the Partnership. The General Partner is hereby expressly authorized to take any action, including without limitation amending this Agreement and Schedule A, to reflect any issuance of additional Units. Additional Units may be Class A Common Units, Class B Common Units or other Units. Any additional Units may be issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any of such classes, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers and duties (including, without limitation, rights, powers and duties that may be senior or otherwise entitled to preference over existing Units) as shall be determined by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person, and set forth in a written document thereafter attached to and made an exhibit to this Agreement, which exhibit shall be an amendment to this Agreement and shall be incorporated herein by this reference (each, a "Unit Designation"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the General Partner shall have authority to specify (a) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to holders of each such class or series of Units; (b) the right of holders of each such class or series of Units to share (on a pari passu, junior or preferred basis) in Partnership distributions; (c) the rights of holders of each such class or series of Units upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; (d) the voting rights, if any, of holders of each such class or series of Units; and (e) the conversion, redemption or exchange rights applicable to each such class or series of Units. The total number of Units that may be created and issued pursuant to this Section 3.2 is not limited.

Section 3.3 Schedule A. The name and business address of each Partner is set forth on Schedule A. The General Partner shall amend Schedule A from time to time as necessary to reflect accurately the information therein and shall send each Partner prompt written notice of each such amendment to Schedule A. Any amendment or revision to Schedule A made in accordance with this Agreement shall not be deemed an amendment to this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to Schedule A, shall be deemed to be a reference to Schedule A, as amended and in effect from time to time.

ARTICLE IV

Section 4.1 General Partner: Power and Authority.

(a) The business and affairs of the Partnership shall be managed exclusively by the General Partner. The General Partner shall have the power and authority, on behalf of and in the name of the Partnership, to carry out any and all of the objects and purposes and exercise any and all of the powers of the Partnership and to perform all acts which it may deem necessary or advisable in connection therewith. The General Partner is not required to hold any interest in the Partnership. The Limited Partners, in their capacity as limited partners, shall have no part in the management of the Partnership and shall have no authority or right to act on behalf of or bind the Partnership in connection with any matter. The Partners agree that all determinations, decisions and actions made or taken by the General Partner in accordance with this Agreement shall be conclusive and absolutely binding upon the Partnership, the Partners and their respective successors, assigns and personal representatives.

(b) Limited Partners holding a majority of the outstanding Class A Common Units shall have the right to remove the General Partner at any time, with or without cause. Upon the withdrawal or removal of the General Partner, Limited Partners holding a majority of the outstanding Class A Common Units shall have the right to appoint a successor General Partner; provided, that any successor General Partner must be a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Fortress. Any Person appointed as a successor General Partner by the Limited Partners holding a majority of the outstanding Class A Common Units shall become a successor General Partner for all purposes herein, and shall be vested with the powers and rights of the transferor General Partner, and shall be liable for all obligations of the General Partner arising from and after such date, and shall be responsible for all duties of the General Partner, once such Person has executed such instruments as may be necessary to effectuate its admission and to confirm its agreement to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement in its capacity as the General Partner.

(c) In order to protect the economic and legal rights of the Original Partners set forth in this Agreement and the Exchange Agreement, unless the General Partner receives the prior written consent of Original Partners holding a majority of the Class B Common Units then owned by all Original Partners (treating any Units owned by a Permitted Transferee of an Original Partner as owned by such Original Partner for such purposes), (i) the General Partner shall not take any action, and shall not permit any Subsidiary of the Partnership to take any action, that is prohibited under Section 2.9 of the Fortress LLC Agreement, (ii) the General Partner shall cause the Partnership and its Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions of Section 2.9 of the Fortress LLC Agreement, and (iii) the General Partner shall not issue any Units (or other equity securities) of the Partnership that have any economic or voting rights that are senior or superior to the economic or voting rights of the Class A Common Units other than Units (or other equity securities) of the Partnership that are issued pursuant to Section 2.9(e) of the Fortress LLC Agreement in connection with an issuance of equity securities by Fortress.

Section 4.2 Books and Records; Accounting. The General Partner shall have responsibility for the day-to-day management and general oversight of the accounting and finance function of the Partnership and shall keep at the principal office of the Partnership (or at such other place as the General Partner shall determine) true and complete books and records regarding the status of the business and financial condition and results of operations of the Partnership. The books and records of the Partnership shall be kept in accordance with the Federal income tax accounting methods and rules determined by the General Partner, which methods and rules shall reflect all transactions of the Partnership and shall be appropriate and adequate for the business of the Partnership. The Partnership shall also keep books and records in accordance with GAAP.

Section 4.3 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Partnership shall be responsible for and shall pay out of funds of the Partnership determined by the General Partner to be available for such purpose, all expenses and obligations of the Partnership, including those incurred by the Partnership or the General Partner or its Affiliates in connection with the formation, conversion, operation or management of the Partnership, in organizing the Partnership and preparing, negotiating, executing, delivering, amending and modifying this Agreement.

Section 4.4 Partnership Tax and Information Returns.

(a) The Partnership shall timely file all returns of the Partnership that are required for federal, state and local income tax purposes on the basis of the accrual method and its fiscal year. The Officers of the Partnership shall use reasonable efforts to furnish to all Partners necessary tax information as promptly as possible after the end of the fiscal year of the Partnership; provided, however, that delivery of such tax information will be subject to delay in the event of, among other reasons, the late receipt of any necessary tax information from an entity in which the Partnership has made an investment. The classification, realization and recognition of income, gain, losses and deductions and other items shall be on the accrual method of accounting for federal income tax purposes.

(b) The Partnership shall make the election under Section 754 of the Code in accordance with applicable regulations thereunder.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall determine whether the Partnership should make any other elections permitted by the Code.

(d) The General Partner shall designate one Partner as the Tax Matters Partner (as defined in the Code). The initial Tax Matters Partner shall be FIG Corp., a Delaware corporation. The Tax Matters Partner is authorized and required 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 expend Partnership funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. Each Partner agrees to cooperate with the Tax Matters Partner and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably required by the Tax Matters Partner to conduct such proceedings.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner is authorized to take any action that may be required to cause the Partnership to comply with any withholding requirements established under the Code or any other federal, state, local or foreign law including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445 and 1446 of the Code. To the extent that the Partnership is required or elects to withhold and pay over to any taxing authority any amount resulting from the allocation or distribution of income to any Partner (including, without limitation, by reason of Section 1446 of the Code), the General Partner may treat the amount withheld as a distribution of cash pursuant to Section 7.1 or Article IX in the amount of such withholding from such Partner.

ARTICLE V

CONTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

Section 5.1 Capital Contributions. Each Original Partner has contributed to the capital of the Partnership prior to the date hereof. Additional Limited Partners (other than Substitute Limited Partners) shall make initial contributions to the capital of the Partnership at such times and in such amounts as shall be determined by the General Partner in connection with the admission of such Additional Limited Partner. The Limited Partners are not required to, and do not have the right to, make contributions to the capital of the Partnership in addition to such initial capital contributions. From time to time, individual Partners may make additional capital contributions in exchange for additional Units, in such amounts and on such terms as determined by the General Partner.

Section 5.2 Capital Accounts.

(a) The General Partner shall maintain for each Partner owning Units a separate Capital Account with respect to such Units in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Such Capital Account shall be increased by (i) the amount of all Capital Contributions made to the Partnership with respect to such Units pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) all items of Partnership income and gain (including, without limitation, income and gain exempt from tax) computed in accordance with Section 5.2(b) and allocated with respect to such Units pursuant to Section 6.1, and decreased by (x) the amount of cash or Net Agreed Value of all actual and deemed distributions of cash or property made with respect to such Units pursuant to this Agreement and (y) all items of Partnership deduction and loss computed in accordance with Section 5.2(b) and allocated with respect to such Units pursuant to Section 6.1. The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations. In the event the General Partner shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts or any adjustments thereto (including, without limitation, adjustments relating to liabilities which are secured by contributed or distributed property or which are assumed by the Partnership or any Partners) are computed in order to comply with such Treasury Regulation, the General Partner may make such modification, provided that it is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts distributed to any Person pursuant to Article VIII hereof upon the dissolution of the Partnership. The General Partner also shall (i) make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality among the Capital Accounts of the Partners and the

amount of capital reflected on the Partnership's balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q), and (ii) make any appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b).

(b) For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, loss or deduction, which is to be allocated pursuant to Article VI and is to be reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for federal income tax purposes (including, without limitation, any method of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization used for that purpose), provided, that:

(i) Solely for purposes of this Section 5.2, the Partnership shall be treated as owning directly its proportionate share (as determined by the General Partner) of all property owned by any partnership, limited liability company, unincorporated business or other entity or arrangement that is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, of which the Partnership is, directly or indirectly, a partner.

(ii) Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Partnership and, as to those items described in Section 705(a)(1)(B) or 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, without regard to the fact that such items are not includable in gross income or are neither currently deductible nor capitalized for federal income tax purposes. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment in the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain or loss.

(iii) Any income, gain or loss attributable to the taxable disposition of any Partnership property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property as of such date of disposition were equal in amount to the Partnership’s Carrying Value with respect to such property as of such date.

(iv) In accordance with the requirements of Section 704(b) of the Code, any deductions for depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to any Contributed Property shall be determined in the manner described in Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g)(3) as if the adjusted basis of such property on the date it was acquired by the Partnership were equal to the Agreed Value of such property. Upon an adjustment pursuant to Section 5.2(d) to the Carrying Value of any Adjusted Property that is subject to depreciation, cost recovery or amortization, any further deductions for such depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to such property shall be determined in the manner described in Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g)(3) and 1.704-3(a)(6)(i) as if the adjusted basis of such property were equal to the Carrying Value of such property immediately following such adjustment; provided, however, that, if the asset has a zero adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes, depreciation, cost recovery or amortization deductions shall be determined using any method that the General Partner may adopt.

(c) A transferee of Units shall succeed to a pro rata portion of the Capital Account of the transferor relating to the Units so transferred.

(d) (i) In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), on an issuance of additional Units for cash or Contributed Property and the issuance of Units as consideration for the provision of services, the Capital Account of all Partners and the Carrying Value of each Partnership property immediately prior to such issuance shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property immediately prior to such issuance and had been allocated to the Partners at such time pursuant to Section 6.1 in the same manner as any item of gain or loss actually recognized during such period would have been allocated. In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss, the aggregate cash amount and fair market value of all Partnership assets (including, without limitation, cash or cash equivalents) immediately prior to the issuance of additional Units shall be determined by the General Partner using such method of valuation as it may adopt; provided, however, that the General Partner, in arriving at such valuation, must take fully into account the fair market value of the Units of all Partners at such time. The General Partner shall allocate such aggregate value among the assets of the Partnership (in such manner as it determines) to arrive at a fair market value for individual properties.

(ii) In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), immediately prior to any actual or deemed distribution to a Partner of any Partnership property (other than a distribution of cash that is not in redemption or retirement of a Unit), the Capital Accounts of all Partners and the Carrying Value of all Partnership property shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized in a sale of such property immediately prior to such distribution for an amount equal to its fair market value, and had been allocated to the Partners, at such time, pursuant to Section 6.1 in the same manner as any item of gain or loss actually recognized during such period would have been allocated. In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss the aggregate cash amount and fair market value of all Partnership assets (including, without limitation, cash or cash equivalents) immediately prior to a distribution shall (A) in the case of an actual distribution that is not made pursuant to Article VIII or in the case of a deemed distribution, be determined and allocated in the same manner as that provided in Section 5.2(d)(i) or (B) in the case of a liquidating distribution pursuant to Article VIII, be determined and allocated by the Liquidator using such method of valuation as it may adopt.

(iii) The General Partner may make the adjustments described in clause (i) above in the manner set forth therein if the General Partner determines that such adjustments are necessary or useful to effectuate the intended economic arrangement among the Partners (equal distributions paid with respect to each Class A Common Unit and each Class B Common Unit), including Partners who received Units in connection with the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Partnership.

(e) Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event the General Partner shall determine, in its sole and absolute

discretion, that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto, are computed in order to effectuate the intended economic sharing arrangement of the Partners (equal distributions paid with respect to each Class A Common Unit and each Class B Common Unit), the General Partner may make such modification.

ARTICLE VI

ALLOCATIONS

Section 6.1 Allocations for Capital Account Purposes. For purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts and in determining the rights of the Partners among themselves, the Partnership’s items of income, gain, loss and deduction (computed in accordance with Section 5.2(b)) shall be allocated among the Partners in each taxable year (or portion thereof) as provided herein below.

(a) Net Income. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.1(d), Net Income for each taxable year and all items of income, gain, loss and deduction taken into account in computing Net Income for such taxable year shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(b) Net Losses. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.1(d), Net Losses for each taxable period and all items of income, gain, loss and deduction taken into account in computing Net Losses for such taxable period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests; provided that to the extent any allocation of Net Losses would cause any Partners to have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account at the end of such taxable year (or increase any existing deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account), such allocation of Net Loss shall be reallocated among the other Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(c) Allocation upon Termination. With respect to all Section 6.1(a) and (b) allocations following a Liquidation Date, such allocations shall be made after Capital Account balances have been adjusted by all other allocations provided under this Section 6.1 and after giving effect to all distributions during such taxable year; provided, however, that solely for purposes of this Section 6.1(c), Capital Accounts shall not be adjusted for distributions made pursuant to Article IX.

(d) Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1, the following special allocations shall be made for such taxable period:

(i) Partnership Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable period, each Partner shall be allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(6), 1.704-2(g)(2) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(i), or any successor provision. For purposes of this Section 6.1(d), each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income and gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to

this Section 6.1(d) with respect to such taxable period (other than an allocation pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(iii) and 6.1(d)(vi)). This Section 6.1(d)(i) is intended to comply with the Partnership Minimum Gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(ii) Chargeback of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6.1 (other than Section 6.1(d)(i)), except as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable period, any Partner with a share of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain at the beginning of such taxable period shall be allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii), or any successor provisions. For purposes of this Section 6.1(d), each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income and gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(d), other than Section 6.1(d)(i) and other than an allocation pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(v) and 6.1(d)(vi), with respect to such taxable period. This Section 6.1(d)(ii) is intended to comply with the chargeback of items of income and gain requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iii) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the deficit balance, if any, in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible unless such deficit balance is otherwise eliminated pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(i) or (ii). This Section 6.1(d)(iii) is intended to qualify and be construed as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iv) Gross Income Allocations. In the event any Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any Partnership taxable period in excess of the sum of (A) the amount such Partner is required to restore pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and (B) the amount such Partner is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(iv) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account as adjusted after all other allocations provided for in this Section 6.1 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.1(d)(iv) were not in this Agreement.

(v) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. If the General Partner determines that the Partnership’s Nonrecourse Deductions should be allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the Treasury

Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the General Partner is authorized, upon notice to the other Partners, to revise the prescribed ratio to the numerically closest ratio that does satisfy such requirements.

(vi) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated 100% to the Partner that bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If more than one Partner bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt, such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions attributable thereto shall be allocated between or among such Partners in accordance with the ratios in which they share such Economic Risk of Loss.

(vii) Nonrecourse Liabilities. Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3) shall be allocated among the Partners in the manner chosen by the General Partner and consistent with such Treasury Regulation.

(viii) Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Treasury Regulations.

(ix) Curative Allocation.

(A) The Required Allocations are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all Required Allocations shall be offset either with other Required Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(ix). Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI (other than the Required Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership 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 Required Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to the economic agreement among the Partners.

(B) The General Partner shall, with respect to each taxable period, (1) apply the provisions of Section 6.1(d)(ix)(A) in whatever order is most likely to minimize the economic distortions that might otherwise result from the Required Allocations, and (2) divide all allocations pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(ix)(A) among the Partners in a manner that is likely to minimize such economic distortions.

(x) The Partnership shall specially allocate an amount of gross income equal to the Expense Amount to the Initial Partner.

Section 6.2 Allocations for Tax Purposes.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, for federal income tax purposes, 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 Section 6.1.

(b) In an attempt to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities attributable to a Contributed Property or an Adjusted Property, items of income, gain, loss, depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Partners as follows:

(i) (A) In the case of a Contributed Property, such items attributable thereto shall be allocated among the Partners in the manner provided under Section 704(c) of the Code that takes into account the variation between the Agreed Value of such property and its adjusted basis at the time of contribution; and (B) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to a Contributed Property shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of "book" gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1.

(ii) (A) In the case of an Adjusted Property, such items shall (1) first, be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such property and the allocations thereof pursuant to Section 5.2(d)(i) or 5.2(d)(ii), and (2) second, in the event such property was originally a Contributed Property, be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with Section 6.2(b)(i)(A); and (B) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to an Adjusted Property shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of "book" gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1.

(iii) In order to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities, the General Partner shall apply the "traditional method with curative allocations of gain on disposition," as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(c)(3)(iii)(B). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities using another method described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3.

(c) For the proper administration of the Partnership and for the preservation of uniformity of the Units (or any class or classes thereof), the General Partner shall (i) adopt such conventions as it deems appropriate in determining the amount of depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions; (ii) make special allocations for federal income tax purposes of income (including, without limitation, gross income) or deductions; (iii) amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate (x) to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) or Section 704(c) of the Code or (y) otherwise to preserve or achieve uniformity of the Units (or any class or classes thereof); and (iv) adopt and employ such methods for (A) the maintenance of capital accounts for book and tax purposes, (B) the determination and allocation of adjustments under Sections 704(c), 734 and 743 of the Code,

(C) the determination and allocation of taxable income, tax loss and items thereof under this Agreement and pursuant to the Code, (D) the determination of the identities and tax classification of Unitholders, (E) the provision of tax information and reports to the Unitholders, (F) the adoption of reasonable conventions and methods for the valuation of assets and the determination of tax basis, (G) the allocation of asset values and tax basis, (H) the adoption and maintenance of accounting methods, (I) the recognition of the transfer of Units, (J) tax compliance and other tax-related requirements, including without limitation, the use of computer software, as it determines in its sole discretion are necessary and appropriate to execute the provisions of this Agreement and to comply with federal, state and local tax law, and to achieve uniformity of Units within a class. The General Partner may adopt such conventions, make such allocations and make such amendments to this Agreement as provided in this Section 6.2(c) only if such conventions, allocations or amendments would not have a material adverse effect on the Partners, the holders of any class or classes of Units issued and outstanding or the Partnership, and if such allocations are consistent with the principles of Section 704 of the Code.

(d) The General Partner may determine to depreciate or amortize the portion of an adjustment under Section 743(b) of the Code attributable to unrealized appreciation in any Adjusted Property (to the extent of the unamortized Book-Tax Disparity) using a predetermined rate derived from the depreciation or amortization method and useful life applied to the Partnership’s common basis of such property, despite any inconsistency of such approach with Treasury Regulation Section 1.167(c)-l(a)(6) or any successor regulations thereto. If the General Partner determines that such reporting position cannot be taken, the General Partner may adopt depreciation and amortization conventions under which all purchasers acquiring Units in the same month would receive depreciation and amortization deductions, based upon the same applicable rate as if they had purchased a direct interest in the Partnership’s property. If the General Partner chooses not to utilize such aggregate method, the General Partner may use any other depreciation and amortization conventions to preserve the uniformity of the intrinsic tax characteristics of any Units, so long as such conventions would not have a material adverse effect on the Partners or the Record Holders of any class or classes of Units.

(e) Any gain allocated to the Partners upon the sale or other taxable disposition of any Partnership asset shall, to the extent possible, after taking into account other required allocations of gain pursuant to this Section 6.2, be characterized as Recapture Income in the same proportions and to the same extent as such Partners (or their predecessors in interest) have been allocated any deductions directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gains as Recapture Income.

(f) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit recognized by the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and allocated to the Partners in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be determined without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code that may be made by the Partnership; provided, however, that such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted (in the manner determined by the General Partner) to take into account those adjustments permitted or required by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code.

(g) For purposes of determining the items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit allocable to any Partner with respect to any period, such items shall 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 Regulations thereunder.

ARTICLE VII

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 7.1 Distributions. Subject to the terms of any Unit Designation, distributions shall be made to the Partners, after Tax Distributions are made pursuant to Sections 7.3 hereof, and after Expense Amount distributions are made pursuant to Section 7.5 hereof, as and when determined by the General Partner, to the Partners in accordance with their respective Common Units.

Section 7.2 Distributions in Kind. The General Partner may cause the Partnership to make distributions of assets in kind. Whenever the distributions provided for in Section 7.1 shall be distributable in property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property determined by the General Partner in good faith, and in the event of such a distribution there shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with Article VI the amount of Profits or Losses that would result if the distributed asset had been sold for an amount in cash equal to its fair market value at the time of the distribution. No Partner shall have the right to demand that the Partnership distribute any assets in kind to such Partner.

Section 7.3 Tax Distributions. Subject to § 17-607 of the Act, the Partnership shall make distributions to each Partner for each calendar quarter ending after the date hereof as follows (collectively, the "Tax Distributions"):

(a) On or before the 10^th day following the end of the First Quarterly Period of each calendar year, an amount equal to such Partner's Presumed Tax Liability for the First Quarterly Period (the "First Quarter Tax Distribution") less the aggregate amount of Prior Distributions previously made to such Partner during such calendar year, excluding any Tax Distribution with respect to a previous calendar year;

(b) On or before the 10^th day following the end of the Second Quarterly Period of each Calendar Year, an amount equal to such Partner's Presumed Tax Liability for the Second Quarterly Period (the "Second Quarter Tax Distribution") less the aggregate amount of Prior Distributions previously made to such Partner during such calendar year, excluding any Tax Distribution with respect to a previous calendar year;

(c) On or before the 10^th day following the end of the Third Quarterly Period of each Calendar Year, an amount equal to such Partner's Presumed Tax Liability for the Third Quarterly Period (the "Third Quarter Tax Distribution") less the aggregate amount of Prior Distributions previously made to such Partner during such calendar year, excluding any Tax Distribution with respect to a previous calendar year;

(d) On or before the 10^th day following the end of the Fourth Quarterly Period of each Calendar Year, an amount equal to such Partner's Presumed Tax Liability for the Fourth Quarterly Period (the "Fourth Quarter Tax Distribution") less the aggregate amount of

Prior Distributions previously made to such Partner during such calendar year, excluding any Tax Distribution with respect to a previous calendar year; and

(e) Tax Distributions shall be made on the basis of a calendar year regardless of the Fiscal Year used by the Partnership. To the extent the General Partner determines in its sole discretion that the distributions made under the foregoing subsections (a) through (d) are insufficient to satisfy the Partners' Presumed Tax Liability for the applicable calendar year, on or before the April 10^th immediately following the applicable calendar year, an amount that the General Partner determines in its reasonable discretion will be sufficient to allow each Partner to satisfy his or her Presumed Tax Liability for the applicable calendar year, after taking into account all Prior Distributions made to the Partners with respect to the applicable calendar year, excluding any Tax Distribution with respect to a previous calendar year.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Tax Distributions shall be made: (i) to all Partners pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests; and (ii) as if each distributee Partner was allocated an amount of income in each quarterly period equal to the product of (x) the highest amount of income allocated to any Partner with respect to his Units, calculated on a per-Unit basis, taking into account any income allocations pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof, multiplied by (y) the amount of Units held by such distributee partner.

(g) If necessary, but subject to Section 17-607 of the Act, the Partnership shall be required to borrow funds in order to make the Tax Distributions required by this Section 7.3.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating the amount of Tax Distributions to which a Partner is entitled with respect to a particular Quarterly Period, the term "Prior Distributions" shall not include such Partner's share of any distribution made during the Pre-IPO Period in excess of the Pre-IPO Minimum Distribution made to such Partner with respect to such Quarterly Period.

Section 7.4 Pre-IPO Minimum Distribution. During the Pre-IPO Period, the Partnership shall make distributions to the Partners as and when determined by the General Partner, but no later than the last day of the Pre-IPO Period, in an aggregate amount equal to the product of the Partnership's share (as set forth in the schedule maintained by the General Partners of the Fortress Operating Group Entities) of the $750,000/day minimum distribution, multiplied by the number of days in the Pre-IPO Period. Pre-IPO Minimum Distributions accrue on a daily basis, and a Partner shall be entitled to receive a Pre-IPO Minimum Distribution (a) only to the extent such Partner owned Units on the day such distribution accrued, and (b) notwithstanding the fact that such Partner did not own Units on the first day of the First Quarterly Period of 2007, in which case the Pre-IPO Period in respect of such Partner shall be deemed to begin on the date such Partner first acquired Units.

Section 7.5 Expense Amount Distributions. The Partnership shall distribute any Expense Amount to the Initial General Partner at the times set forth in any Expense Allocation Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT INTEREST; CESSATION OF PARTNER STATUS

Section 8.1 Transfer and Assignment of Interest. A Partner may not Transfer all or any of such Partner's Units without approval of the General Partner, which approval may be granted or withheld, with or without reason, in the General Partner's sole discretion; provided, however, that, without the approval of the General Partner, a Partner may, at any time, (i) Transfer any of such Partner's Units pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, (ii) Transfer any of such Partner's Units to a Permitted Transferee of such Partner, or (iii) pledge or assign any of such Partner's Units to a lending institution that is not an Affiliate of such Limited Partner, as collateral or security for a bona fide loan or other extension of credit, and any Transfer of such pledged Units in connection with the exercise of remedies under such loan or extension of credit; provided, however, that no Transfer pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be permitted if such Transfer would cause the Partnership to be treated as a publicly traded partnership that is taxable as a corporation. In the event of any Transfer, the transferring Partner shall provide the address and facsimile number for each transferee as contemplated by Section 10.9.

Section 8.2 Withdrawal of General Partner. The General Partner shall not withdraw from the Partnership without the approval of the Limited Partners holding a majority of the outstanding Class A Common Units.

Section 8.3 Cessation of Status as a Partner.

(a) A Partner may not, without the consent of the General Partner, withdraw from the Partnership prior to the Partnership's termination.

(b) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no event affecting a Partner, including death, bankruptcy, insolvency or withdrawal from the Partnership, shall affect the Partnership.

ARTICLE IX

DISSOLUTION

Section 9.1 Duration and Dissolution. The Partnership shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the first to occur of the following:

(a) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership under Section 17-802 of the Act; and

(b) the determination of the General Partner to dissolve the Partnership.

Except as provided in this Agreement, the death, Disability, resignation, expulsion, bankruptcy or dissolution of any Partner or the occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued partnership of any Partner in the Partnership shall not cause the Partnership to be dissolved or its affairs wound up; provided, however, that at any time after the

bankruptcy of the General Partner, the holders of a majority of the Class A Common Units may, pursuant to written consent to such effect, replace the General Partner with another Person, who shall, after executing a written instrument confirming such Person's agreement to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement, (i) become a successor General Partner for all purposes hereunder, (ii) be vested with the powers and rights of the replaced General Partner, and (iii) be liable for all obligations and responsible for all duties of the replaced General Partner from the date of such replacement.

Section 9.2 Distribution of Assets. Subject to the terms of any Unit Designation, upon the winding up of the Partnership, assets shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with their Capital Account balances, as adjusted for all Partnership operations up to and including the date of such distribution.

Section 9.3 Notice of Liquidation. The General Partner shall give each of the Partners prompt written notice of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership.

Section 9.4 Liquidator. Upon dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner may select one or more Persons to act as a liquidator trustee for the Partnership (such person, or the General Partner, the "Liquidator"). The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall be entitled to receive such compensation for its services as may be approved by holders of a majority of the Class A Common Units (subject to the terms of any Unit Designation). The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall agree not to resign at any time without 15 days’ prior notice and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by notice of removal approved by holders of a majority of the Class A Common Units (subject to the terms of any Unit Designation). Upon dissolution, death, incapacity, removal or resignation of the Liquidator, a successor and substitute Liquidator (who shall have and succeed to all rights, powers and duties of the original Liquidator) shall within 30 days thereafter be approved by the General Partner (or, in the case of the removal of the Liquidator by holders of units, by holders of a majority of the Units (subject to the terms of any Unit Designation)). The right to approve a successor or substitute Liquidator in the manner provided herein shall be deemed to refer also to any such successor or substitute Liquidator approved in the manner herein provided. Except as expressly provided in this Section 9.4, the Liquidator approved in the manner provided herein shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or consent of any of the parties hereto, all of the powers conferred upon the General Partner under the terms of this Agreement (but subject to all of the applicable limitations, contractual and otherwise, upon the exercise of such powers) necessary or appropriate to carry out the duties and functions of the Liquidator hereunder for and during the period of time required to complete the winding up and liquidation of the Partnership as provided for herein.

Section 9.5 Liquidation. The Liquidator shall proceed to dispose of the assets of the Partnership, discharge its liabilities, and otherwise wind up its affairs in such manner and over such period as determined by the Liquidator, subject to Section 17-804 of the Act and the following:

(a) The assets may be disposed of by public or private sale or by distribution in kind to one or more Partners on such terms as the Liquidator and such Partner or Partners may agree. If any property is distributed in kind, the Partner receiving the property shall

be deemed for purposes of Section 9.5(c) to have received cash equal to its fair market value; and contemporaneously therewith, appropriate cash distributions must be made to the other Partners. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Partners understand and acknowledge that a Partner may be compelled to accept a distribution of any asset in kind from the Partnership despite the fact that the percentage of the asset distributed to such Partner exceeds the percentage of that asset which is equal to the percentage in which such Partner shares in distributions from the Partnership. The Liquidator may defer liquidation or distribution of the Partnership’s assets for a reasonable time if it determines that an immediate sale or distribution of all or some of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners. The Liquidator may distribute the Partnership’s assets, in whole or in part, in kind if it determines that a sale would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners.

(b) Liabilities of the Partnership include amounts owed to the Liquidator as compensation for serving in such capacity and amounts to Partners otherwise than in respect of their distribution rights under Article VII. With respect to any liability that is contingent, conditional or unmatured or is otherwise not yet due and payable, the Liquidator shall either settle such claim for such amount as it thinks appropriate or establish a reserve of cash or other assets to provide for its payment. When paid, any unused portion of the reserve shall be applied to other liabilities or distributed as additional liquidation proceeds.

(c) All property and all cash in excess of that required to discharge liabilities as provided in Section 9.5(b) shall be distributed to holders of Units having liquidation preferences, if any, and then to the Partners in accordance with and to the extent of the positive balances in their respective Capital Accounts, as determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments (other than those made by reason of distributions pursuant to this Article VIII(c)) for the taxable year of the Partnership during which the liquidation of the Partnership occurs (with such date of occurrence being determined by the General Partner, and such distribution shall be made by the end of such taxable year (or, if later, within 90 days after said date of such occurrence).

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, upon the dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to this Article IX and after all other allocations provided for in Section 6.1 have been tentatively made as if this Section 9.5 were not in this Agreement, either (i) the positive Capital Account balance attributable to one or more Units having a liquidation preference is not equal to such liquidation preference, or (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the positive balance of a Partner’s Capital Account with respect to Common Units by the aggregate of all Partners’ Capital Account balances with respect to Common Units at such time would differ from such Partner's Percentage Interest, then Net Income (and items thereof) and Net Loss (and items thereof) for the Fiscal Year in which the Partnership dissolves and liquidates pursuant to this Article IX shall be allocated among the Partners (x) first, to the extent necessary to ensure that the Capital Account balance attributable to a Unit having a liquidation preference is equal to such liquidation preference, and (y) second, in a manner such that the positive balance in the Capital Account of each Partner with respect to Common Units on a Unit by Unit basis, immediately after giving effect to such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal to each such Partner's Percentage Interest on a Unit by Unit basis.

ARTICLE X
