If any legal proceedings relating to the failure of a Limited Partner to make such a contribution are commenced, such Limited Partner shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in connection with such proceedings. (b) Additionally, without in any way limiting any remedy which the Partnership may pursue pursuant to paragraph 4.4(a), should any Limited Partner fail to make any of the capital contributions or fulfill any of the distribution-return obligations required of it under this Agreement and such failure shall have continued uncured for ten (10) or more business days after delivery of written notice by the General Partner to such Limited Partner, such Limited Partner shall be in default (a “Defaulting Limited Partner”). In the event of such default, the General Partner may, in carrying out what it determines to be in the best interests of the nondefaulting Limited Partners, elect to enforce one or more of the provisions of this paragraph 4.4(b) in connection with such a default, to which each Limited Partner hereby expressly consents. The General Partner shall deliver written notice to such Defaulting Limited Partner if it determines to utilize one or more of the powers set forth in paragraph 4.4(a) or this paragraph 4.4(b) (a “Default Notice”). Upon delivery of the Default Notice, the Defaulting Limited Partner shall not be permitted to participate in any vote or consent of the Partners required under this Agreement or permitted under the Act (and the Capital Commitment of such Defaulting Limited Partner shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating a Majority in Interest or other Percentage in Interest of the Limited Partners for purposes of this Agreement), and the Defaulting Limited Partner may not make any additional contributions of capital against such Defaulting Limited Partner’s Capital Commitment (other than to fund management fees and other expenses of the Partnership) without the written consent of the General Partner, which consent may be granted or denied in the sole discretion of the General Partner. (i) The General Partner may waive, without the consent of any other Partner, in whole or in part, the requirement of payment with respect to any due and unpaid capital contributions by a Defaulting Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement and reduce such Defaulting Limited Partner’s Capital Commitment accordingly. (ii) The General Partner may extend the time of payment for a Defaulting Limited Partner of any due and unpaid capital contributions by such Defaulting Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement. (iii) The General Partner may declare the entire amount of a Defaulting Limited Partner’s then unfunded Capital Commitment to be immediately due and payable. (iv) On behalf of the Partnership, the General Partner may enforce, by appropriate legal proceedings, the Defaulting Limited Partner’s obligation to make payment on the amount of any due and unpaid capital contributions by such Defaulting Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement or to pay the entire amount of such Defaulting Limited Partner’s then unfunded Capital Commitment. (v) Should the General Partner, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the provisions of this paragraph 4.4(b)(v), such Defaulting Limited Partner shall pay all expenses to be incurred or anticipated to be incurred by the Partnership in connection with the default and the interest on the amount of the contribution to the Partnership then due at the Prime Rate as of the date the contribution to the Partnership was required to be made pursuant to this Agreement plus two hundred (200) basis points per annum (or if less, the highest rate permitted by applicable law), such interest to accrue from the date the contribution to the Partnership was required to be made pursuant to this Agreement until the date the contribution is made by such Defaulting Limited Partner, unless such payment is waived by the General Partner (which waiver may be made without the consent of any other Partner). The accrued interest shall be paid by the Defaulting Limited Partner to the Partnership upon payment of such contribution. The accrued interest so paid shall not be treated as an additional contribution to the capital of the Partnership, but shall be deemed to be income to the Partnership; provided that such income shall not be allocated to the Capital Account of the Defaulting Limited Partner. Until such time as the unpaid contribution and accrued interest thereon shall have been paid by the Defaulting Limited Partner, the General Partner may elect to withhold any or all distributions to be made to such Defaulting Limited Partner pursuant to Article 7 or Article 10 and recover any such unpaid contribution and accrued interest thereon by set off against any such distribution withheld. (vi) Should the General Partner, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the provisions of this paragraph 4.4(b)(vi), the General Partner and the nondefaulting Limited Partners (the “Optionees”), shall have the right and the option, but not the obligation, to acquire the Partnership interest of the Defaulting Limited Partner (the “Optionor”), as follows: (1) The General Partner shall notify the Optionees of the default within twenty (20) days after it gives the Default Notice to the Defaulting Limited Partner. Such notice shall advise each Optionee of the portion and the price of the Optionor’s interest available to it. Each Optionee shall be offered a pro rata portion (in accordance with capital contributions to the Partnership) of the available Optionor’s interest. The aggregate price for the Optionor’s interest shall be the lesser of fifty percent (50%) of (A) the amount of the Optionor’s Capital Account calculated as of the due date of the additional contribution and adjusted to reflect the allocation of the appropriate proportion of the Partnership’s unrealized gains and losses as of the due date of such defaulted contribution, and (B) the aggregate amount of the Optionor’s capital contributions actually made less any distributions (valued at their fair market value on the date of distribution in accordance with paragraph 12.1) on or prior to such due date. The price for each Optionee shall be prorated according to the portion of the Optionor’s interest purchased by each such Optionee. The option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at any time within thirty (30) days following the date that the General Partner notifies the Optionees of the default by delivery to the General Partner of a notice of exercise of option together with a nonrecourse promissory note for the purchase price and a security agreement in accordance with subparagraph (5) below, which notice and documents the General Partner shall promptly forward to the Optionor. (2) Should any Optionee not exercise its option within said thirty (30) day period provided in subparagraph (1) above, the General Partner shall immediately notify the other Optionees who have elected to exercise their option, which Optionees shall have the right and option ratably among them to acquire the portion of the Optionor’s interest not so acquired (the “Remaining Portion”) within thirty (30) days of the date of the notice specified in this subparagraph (2) on the same terms as provided in subparagraph (1) above. (3) Any amount of the Remaining Portion not acquired by the Optionees pursuant to subparagraph (2) above may be acquired by the General Partner within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the thirty (30) day period specified in subparagraph (2) above on the same terms as set forth in subparagraph (1) above. (4) Any amount of the Remaining Portion not acquired by the Optionees and the General Partner pursuant to subparagraphs (2) or (3) above may, if the General Partner deems it in the best interest of the Partnership, be sold by the General Partner to any other investor, on terms not more favorable to such other investor than those applicable to the Optionees’ option, and upon the consent of the General Partner, any such third party purchaser may become a Limited Partner to the extent of the interest purchased hereunder. (5) The price due from each of the General Partner and the Optionees (and, if applicable, any third party purchaser pursuant to subparagraph (4) above) shall be payable by a noninterest bearing, nonrecourse promissory note (in such form as the General Partner shall designate) due upon final liquidation of the Partnership. Each such note shall be secured by the portion of the Optionor’s Partnership interest so purchased by its maker pursuant to a security agreement in a form designated by the General Partner and shall be enforceable by the Optionor only against such security. (6) Upon exercise of any option hereunder, each Optionee and the General Partner (and, if applicable, any third party purchaser pursuant to subparagraph (4) above) shall be obligated (A) to contribute to the Partnership that portion of the additional capital then due from the Optionor equal to the percentage of the Optionor’s interest purchased by such person and (B) to pay the same percentage of any further contributions otherwise due from such Optionor on the date such contributions are otherwise due. Each person who purchases a portion of the Optionor’s Partnership interest shall be deemed to have acquired such portion as of the due date of the additional capital contribution with respect to which the Optionor defaulted, and any distributions made after the due date on account of the Optionor’s interest shall be distributed among such purchasers (and, unless the entire interest was purchased, the Optionor) in accordance with their ultimate respective interests in the Optionor’s interest. Distributions otherwise allocable to the Optionor under the preceding sentence shall first be used to offset any defaulted contribution of the Optionor still due to the Partnership. Upon completion of any transaction hereunder, the General Partner shall cause Exhibit A to be amended to reflect all necessary changes resulting therefrom including, without limitation, admission of a purchaser as a Limited Partner, and adjustment of Capital Account balances, Capital Commitment amounts and Partnership Percentages as of the date of Optionor’s default to reflect the acquisition from Optionor of the appropriate pro rata portion of each such item. The purchase and transfer of the Partnership interest of the Optionor shall occur automatically upon exercise by any Optionee or the General Partner of its option hereunder (or acquisition by a third party purchaser of an interest pursuant to subparagraph (4) above), without any action by Optionor. (7) Notwithstanding the sale of any portion of an Optionor’s interest pursuant to this paragraph 4.4(b)(vi), such Optionor shall not be released from its unfunded Capital Commitment except as actually funded by the acquirer of any such portion of Optionor’s interest. (8) In the event that any amount of the Remaining Portion is not acquired by the Optionees, the General Partner and any third party purchasers pursuant to paragraphs 4.4(b)(vi)(1)-(4), then, in its sole discretion, the General Partner may apply any of the remedies described in paragraph 4.4(a) and this subparagraph 4.4(b) to such unsold portion. (vii) The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, elect to remove such Defaulting Limited Partner from the Partnership, in which such event (1) fifty percent (50%) of the Defaulting Limited Partner’s Capital Account balance shall be forfeited and reallocated to the Capital Accounts of the nondefaulting Partners proportionally, based on, with respect to each such Partner, the ratio that its Partnership Percentage immediately prior to such calculation bears to the aggregate Partnership Percentages of all Partners (other than the Defaulting Limited Partner), (2) the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Defaulting Limited Partner’s Capital Account balance shall be payable to the Defaulting Limited Partner by the Partnership in installments over a period of no more than three (3) years from the effective date of the removal of such Defaulting Limited Partner pursuant to this paragraph 4.4(b)(vii), and (3) the Defaulting Limited Partner’s Partnership Percentage shall be reduced to zero. (viii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Limited Partner (1) agrees that it will execute any instruments or perform any other acts that are or may be necessary to effectuate and carry out the transactions contemplated by this paragraph 4.4, and (2) designates and appoints the General Partner its true and lawful attorney, in its name, place and stead to make, execute and sign any and all instruments, documents or certificates on behalf of any Defaulting Limited Partner in order to give effect to any remedy against such Defaulting Limited Partner (including, but not limited to, the remedies set forth in this paragraph 4.4(b)). (ix) The Partners agree that the General Partner’s authority and discretion to enforce any remedy against a Defaulting Limited Partner (including but not limited to the remedies set forth in this paragraph 4.4(b)) supersede any fiduciary duties of the General Partner to such Defaulting Limited Partner. The Partners further agree that the remedies set forth in this paragraph 4.4(b) are fair and reasonable in light of the difficulty in ascertaining the actual damages that would be incurred by the Partnership and the nondefaulting Partners as a result of the Defaulting Limited Partner’s failure to contribute capital when due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
