Outside Activities of the Limited Partners Subject to the provisions of Section 7.5, which shall continue to be applicable to the Persons referred to therein, regardless of whether such Persons shall also be Limited Partners, any Limited Partner shall be entitled to and may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Partnership, including business interests and activities in direct competition with the Partnership Group.

Right of First Opportunity a. During the Term of this Lease (including, without limitation, the Extended Term, if applicable), Lessor shall notify Lessee ("Lessor's Notice") if either or both Suite 310 (consisting of approximately 15,654 square feet of Rentable Area) on the third floor of the Building and/or Suite 115 on the first floor of the Building become available for Lease (subject to any rights which any then existing tenants of such space may have to lease such space pursuant to lease transactions hereafter entered into in accordance with this Article 64, and any rights held by Inktomi Corporation as the existing tenant of such space, Lessor hereby representing and warranting to Lessee that no current tenant other than Inktomi has any existing rights to the lease of such Suite 115 or Suite 310). Such Lessor's Notice shall provide the basic business terms on which Lessor is willing to rent such space (including, without limitation, Base Rent, improvement allowances and other economic concessions) and shall be given to Lessee prior to such space being made available to any third party (other than any existing tenant having prior rights to such space). Lessee is hereby granted the right of first opportunity to lease such space on the terms as outlined in Lessor's Notice to Lessee. No court arbitrator or third party shall have the right to challenge the terms and conditions set forth in Lessor's Notice to Lessee. Lessee shall have ten (10) days following receipt of such Lessor's Notice within which to indicate in writing its desire to lease the space under the terms and conditions stated in such Lessor's Notice. If Lessee rejects or fails to accept Lessor's offer within such ten (10) day period, Lessor shall have the right at any time within nine (9) months thereafter to enter into a lease for such available space which was the subject of the offer made to Lessee in Lessor's notice to any one or more third parties on any terms, covenants and conditions desired by Lessor, and Lessee shall have no further right to lease such space, provided that such lease is entered into within nine (9) months following Lessee's receipt of the applicable Lessor's Notice and the net effective rent payable under such lease is not less than ninety percent (90%) of the net effective rent proposed in the applicable Lessor's Notice. If Lessee rejects or fails to accept Lessor's offer as set forth in Lessor's Notice within such ten (10) day period, but Lessor thereafter desires to lease such space which was the subject of such Lessor's Notice to one or more third parties more than nine (9) months following Lessee's receipt of the applicable Lessor's Notice or at a net effective rent less than ninety percent (90%) of the net effective rent proposed in the applicable Lessor's Notice, then Lessor shall first deliver a new Lessor's Notice with respect to such space to Lessee and Lessee shall again have its right of first opportunity with respect thereto in the manner set forth above.
Investment Opportunities To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, shall not apply to any Member (other than Members who are officers or employees of the Company, PubCo or any of their respective Subsidiaries), any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Company, the Managing Member or any of their respective Subsidiaries), or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, shareholders, members, managers and partners (each, a “Business Opportunities Exempt Party”). The Company renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities that are from time to time presented to any Business Opportunities Exempt Party.

Any Person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any Units shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 8.4. Neither the alteration, amendment or repeal of this Section 8.4, nor the adoption of any provision of this Agreement inconsistent with this Section 8.4, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Section 8.4 in respect of any business opportunity first identified or any other matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Section 8.4, would accrue or arise, prior to such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption.

Transfer of General Partner’s Partnership Interest A. Except in connection with a Termination Transaction permitted under Section 11.2.B, the General Partner shall not withdraw from the Partnership and shall not transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Partnership (whether by sale, statutory merger or consolidation, liquidation or otherwise), other than to an Affiliate, without the Consent of the Limited Partners, which may be given or withheld by each Limited Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, and only upon the admission of a successor General Partner pursuant to Section 12.1. Upon any transfer of a Partnership Interest in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.2, the transferee shall become a substitute 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 and responsible for all duties of the General Partner, once such transferee has executed such instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such admission and to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Partnership Interest so acquired. It is a condition to any transfer otherwise permitted hereunder that the transferee assumes, by operation of law or express agreement, all of the obligations of the transferor General Partner under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Partnership Interest, and no such transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor General Partner are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) shall relieve the transferor General Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the Consent of the Limited Partners, in their reasonable discretion. In the event the General Partner withdraws from the Partnership, in violation of this Agreement or otherwise, or otherwise dissolves or terminates, or upon the Incapacity of the General Partner, all of the remaining Partners may elect to continue the Partnership business by selecting a substitute General Partner in accordance with the Act.

The Company on behalf of each Fund agrees that it shall have no claim against BTC based on, or relating to, loans made for other customers, or loan opportunities refused hereunder, whether or not BTC has made fewer or more loans for any other customer than for the Fund, and whether or not any loan for another customer, or the opportunity refused, could have resulted in loans made hereunder.
Ownership by Limited Partner of Corporate General Partner or Affiliate No Limited Partner shall at any time, either directly or indirectly, own any stock or other interest in the General Partner or in any Affiliate thereof, if such ownership by itself or in conjunction with other stock or other interests owned by other Limited Partners would, in the opinion of counsel for the Partnership, jeopardize the classification of the Partnership as a partnership for federal tax purposes. The General Partner shall be entitled to make such reasonable inquiry of the Limited Partners as is required to establish compliance by the Limited Partners with the provisions of this Section.
