The rights of the Defaulting Investor following forfeiture shall be limited to the right to receive an amount equal to the lowest of: its Outstanding Loan as at the date of forfeiture; and the Value of such Defaulting Investor's Interest at the date of forfeiture, less in each case: all costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership, the General Partner, the Manager or any of their respective Associates in connection with the Defaulting Investor’s default and the enforcement of this Agreement and any other rights any of them may have against the Defaulting Investor (including legal fees and expenses together with any Tax thereon); the amount of General Partner’s Share attributable to the Defaulting Investor that the General Partner would have received had the Defaulting Investor not become a Defaulting Investor, calculated from the from and including the date specified in the Drawdown Notice in respect of which the default occurred until the date on which the winding up of the Partnership is completed, which amounts shall be paid to the General Partner by the Partnership as General Partner’s Share; and an additional amount, if any, determined by the General Partner, after consultation with the Auditors, as being necessary to compensate the other Partners in relation to any additional Tax or other liability suffered by them as a consequence of the Defaulting Investor’s default; and such amount shall only be payable during the winding-up of the Partnership under clause 15 if the other Investors have received full payment of the amounts due under clauses 12.1(b), 12.1(c) and 12.1(d) at the time of such distribution, at which point the foregoing amount shall be paid to the Defaulting Investor(s) to the extent of the proceeds then available for distribution. If at that time there are insufficient Partnership Assets available to pay the foregoing amount, the Defaulting Investor shall have no further rights in respect of the shortfall. The obligation to pay this amount is an obligation of the Partnership and no Partner shall be personally liable for its payment, in full or in part. Following the forfeiture of a Defaulting Investor’s Interest: (i) the General Partner shall cause such adjustments to be made to the books and accounts of the Partnership and between the Investors as it shall consider necessary in the circumstances so that each Investor shall share in such forfeiture in proportion to its Commitment; and (ii) the Founder Partner shall be repaid part of its Capital Contribution so that the amount of its Capital Contribution as a Founder Partner shall continue to equal the Carried Interest Share of the total Capital Contributions subscribed in the Partnership immediately following such forfeiture.
