CERTIFICATES, ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS OF UNITS

Contribution and whose subscription has been accepted, as provided herein, a certificate of
ownership representing his interest in the Partnership. Each such certificate, referred to above,
is hereinafter referred to as a “Partnership Certificate” and shall be in such form, consistent
with the foregoing, as is described by the General Partner, indicating that the registered owner
hereof is the owner of the number of Units represented by his Capital Contribution.
13.2 In the event any Partnership Certificate is lost, mutilated or destroyed, the General Partner
shall issue a replacement Partnership Certificate to the Limited Partner upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the General Partner of such loss, mutilation or destruction and upon receiving
such indemnification as it deems appropriate in the circumstances.

transferred without the approval of the Partners given by Extraordinary Resolution, except that
such consent is not required for a transfer to a person or entity controlling the General Partner,
controlled by the General Partner or controlled by a person or entity controlling the General
Partner, provided that the transferee assumes all of the obligations of the General Partner with
respect to the Partnership. Any transfer requiring approval as provided herein that is transferred
without such approval will not relieve the General Partner of the obligations of the General
Partner set forth in this Agreement but otherwise will be valid and effective.
13.4 A Unit may be assigned, subject to applicable securities laws, regulations and orders and
subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Upon a Limited Partner
making an assignment of a Unit to any assignee, such assignee shall not be recorded as the holder

Partner unless such assignee:

(b) | has delivered a completed and executed Transfer Form, substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule “C”, to the General Partner; and | ||
(c) | has agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and to assume the obligations of a Limited Partner under this Agreement. |
No such assignee will become a Limited Partner until the assignee’s name is set out in a
Certificate. Where the assignee is entitled to become a Limited Partner pursuant to the provisions
hereof (such assignee being sometimes referred to as a “substituted Limited Partner”), the General
Partner shall be authorized to admit the substituted Limited Partner to the Partnership as a
Limited Partner and the Limited Partners hereby consent to the admission of, and will admit, the
assignee to the Partnership as a
Limited Partner, without further act of the Partners (other than the filing of an amended
Certificate).
11
13.5 If the assignor of a Unit is a firm or corporation, or purports to assign such Unit in any
representative capacity, or if an assignment results from the bankruptcy of a Limited Partner or is
otherwise involuntary, the assignor or his legal representative shall furnish to the General
Partner such documents, certificates, assurances, court orders and other materials as the General
Partner may reasonably require to cause such assignment to be effected.
13.6 No assignment of less than a Unit may be made or will be recognized unless the General
Partner agrees otherwise.
13.7 A Unit may only be registered in the name of one firm or corporation unless the General
Partner agrees otherwise.

this Article shall relieve the Limited Partner of any obligation which has accrued or was incurred
prior to the effective date of such disposition.
