Actions by Written Consent; Consent by Silence. All actions, votes or consents required or permitted to be taken by the Partners will be taken by the written consent of Partners holding in aggregate not less than the minimum Partnership Percentages specified herein as to the particular action, vote, or consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of obtaining any such consent as to any matter proposed by the General Partner, the General Partner may, in the notice seeking Consent of Partners, require a response within a specified period (which will not be less than fifteen days) and failure to respond within that period will constitute a vote and Consent to approve the proposed action. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the proposal for such action, any such action will be effective immediately after the required signatures have been obtained or, if applicable, the expiration of the period within which responses were required, if such requirement was imposed and there were insufficient votes cast against such action to prevent such action from becoming effective.
