Modification of Allocations The provisions of Articles X and XI and other provisions of this Agreement are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704 and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such section of the Treasury Regulations. In the event that the General Partner determines, in its sole discretion, that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts of the Partners, or any debit or credit thereto, are computed in order to comply with such section of the Treasury Regulations, the General Partner may make such modification, but only with the Consent of the Special Limited Partner, to the minimum extent necessary, to effect the plan of allocations and Distributions provided for elsewhere in this Agreement. Further, the General Partner shall make any appropriate modifications, but only with the Consent of the Special Limited Partner, in the event it appears that unanticipated events (e.g., the existence of a Partnership election pursuant to Code Section 754) might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704.
Contributions to Capital (a) The minimum initial Capital Contribution of each Limited Partner will be $100,000 or such other amount as the General Partner determines from time to time. The amount of the initial Capital Contribution of each Partner will be recorded by the Partnership upon acceptance as a contribution to the capital of the Partnership. Each Limited Partner’s entire initial Capital Contribution will be paid to the Partnership immediately prior to the Partnership’s acceptance of the Limited Partner’s subscription for Units, unless otherwise agreed by the Partnership and such Limited Partner.
(b) The Limited Partners may make additional Capital Contributions effective as of those times and in amounts as the General Partner may permit, but no Limited Partner will be obligated to make any additional Capital Contribution except to the extent provided in Sections 5.4 and 5.5 of this Agreement. Each additional Capital Contribution made by a Limited Partner (other than a contribution made pursuant to Section 5.3 or Section 5.5 of this Agreement) will be in the minimum amount of $25,000 or such other amount as the General Partner determines from time to time.
(c) A General Partner may make additional Capital Contributions effective as of those times and in such amounts as it determines, and will be required to make additional Capital Contributions from time to time to the extent necessary to maintain the balance of its Capital Account at an amount, if any, necessary to ensure that the Partnership will be treated as a Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Except as provided in this Section 5.1 or in the Delaware Act, no General Partner will be required or obligated to make any additional contributions to the capital of the Partnership.
(d) Subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, and except as otherwise permitted by the General Partner, (1) initial and any additional Capital Contributions by any Partner will be payable in cash or in Securities that the General Partner, in its absolute discretion, causes the Partnership to accept, and (2) initial and any additional Capital Contributions in cash will be payable in readily available funds at the date of the proposed acceptance of the contribution. The Partnership will charge each Partner making a Capital Contribution in Securities to the capital of the Partnership an amount as may be determined by the General Partner to reimburse the Partnership for any costs incurred by the Partnership by reason of accepting the Securities, and any charge will be due and payable by the contributing Partner in full at the time the Capital Contribution to which the charges relate is due. The value of contributed Securities will be determined in accordance with Section 7.3 of this Agreement as of the date of contribution.
(e) An Advisor may make Capital Contributions and own Units in the Partnership and, in so doing, will become a Limited Partner with respect to the contributions.
(f) The minimum initial and additional contributions set out in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.1 may be increased or reduced by the General Partner from time to time. Reductions may be applied to all investors, individual investors or to classes of investors, in each case in the sole discretion of the General Partner.
