ERISA Partners. (a) The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that at all times (i) there will be no Limited Partner of the Partnership that is (X) an ''employee benefit plan'' subject to Part 4 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA, or (Y) an entity whose underlying assets are considered ''plan assets'' of an employee benefit plan which is subject to Part 4 of Subtitle B of Title 1 of ERISA and which invested in such entity (and in either case so indicates such status on its Investor Questionnaire) (either, an ''ERISA Partner''), (ii) the Capital Commitments of the ERISA Partners, if any, will not be ''significant'' (within the meaning of the DOL Regulation), or (iii) the Partnership will qualify as a ''venture capital operating company'' and that none of the assets of the Partnership shall be deemed to be ''plan assets'' of any Limited Partner that is an ERISA Partner. In the event that the Partnership becomes a venture capital operating company, the Partnership shall cause reputable U.S. legal counsel to issue an opinion to the ERISA Partners that the Partnership qualifies as a venture capital operating company, and thereafter, the General Partner shall certify in writing on an annual basis that the Partnership continues to so qualify. As used in the remainder of this Section 10.18, all terms in quotation marks have the meanings assigned to them in the DOL Regulation. (b) In the event that either (i) the General Partner shall determine that it has become necessary for any ERISA Partner to withdraw from the Partnership or (ii) any ERISA Partner shall determine that it is necessary for it to withdraw from the Partnership, in either case (a) in order to avoid a material violation of, or breach of the fiduciary duties of any person (other than a breach of the fiduciary duties of any such person based upon the investment strategy of the Partnership or performance of the Partnership) under ERISA or the related provisions of the Code if such ERISA Partner continues as a Limited Partner of the Partnership, or (b) because the assets of the Partnership are or will be deemed to be ''plan assets'' of such ERISA Partner within the meaning of the DOL Regulation; then the General Partner or such ERISA Partner, as the case may be, shall deliver to the other a notice (''Event Notice'') to that effect, accompanied by a materially unqualified opinion of counsel (which may be counsel retained or employed by the General Partner or such E...
