Promptly after the dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner(s) shall immediately commence to wind up the affairs of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Act. In winding up the business and affairs of the Partnership, the General Partner(s) may take any and all actions that it determines in its sole discretion to be in the best interests of the Partners, including, but not limited to, any actions relating to (i) causing written notice by registered or certified mail of the Partnership’s intention to dissolve to be mailed to each known creditor of and claimant against the Partnership, (ii) the payment, settlement or compromise of existing claims against the Partnership, (iii) the making of reasonable provisions for payment of contingent claims against the Partnership and (iv) the sale or disposition of the properties and assets of the Partnership.
