Return of Capital Contribution From time to time the Partnership may have cash in excess of the amount required for the conduct of the affairs of the Partnership, and the General Partner may, with the Consent of the Special Limited Partner, determine that such cash should, in whole or in part, be returned to the Partners, pro rata, in reduction of their Capital Contribution. No such return shall be made unless all liabilities of the Partnership (except those to Partners on account of amounts credited to them pursuant to this Agreement) have been paid or there remain assets of the Partnership sufficient, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, to pay such liabilities.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the General Partner shall maintain the Capital Accounts of the Partners in accordance with the principles and requirements set forth in Section 704(b) of the Code and the United States Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, provided, however, for purposes of this Agreement, (i) each holder of a series of Class B Common Units that is also a holder of regular Common Units, another series of Class B Common and/or a series of Class C Common Units and (ii) each holder of a series of Class C Common Units that is also a holder of regular Common Units, another series of Class C Common Units and/or a series of Class B Common Units shall, in each case under clause (i) or clause (ii), be deemed to have a separate Capital Account for each series of Class B Common Units, for each series of Class C Common Units and for the regular Common Units held by such holder. The Capital Account balance of a Partner with respect to each Preferred Unit held by such Partner shall equal the Liquidation Preference per Preferred Unit as of the date such Preferred Unit is initially issued and shall be increased as set forth in Article XVI.
