the first day of each Fiscal Year, on each date of any Capital Contribution to the Fund, on each date next following the date of any withdrawal of capital or retirement from the Fund and on any other date as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion, and the prior Fiscal Period shall end on the date immediately preceding such date of commencement of a new Fiscal Period.

(a) “Net Profits” and “Net Losses” of the Fund shall include realized and unrealized profits and losses with respect to all securities positions. In computing such realized and unrealized profits and losses, profit and loss shall mean for each position held in a security during any Fiscal Period, the realized or unrealized appreciation or realized or unrealized depreciation, as the case may be, with respect to such position, determined by comparing the net proceeds from the closing of such position or the market value of such position at the end of such Fiscal Period with (i) the cost of such position if established during such Fiscal Period or (ii) if such position was established during a prior Fiscal Period, the market value of such position at the end of the last preceding Fiscal Period.

(b) Securities contributed to the Fund shall be treated as if purchased by the Fund at market value on the date of contribution, and securities distributed from the Fund shall be treated as if sold by the Fund at market value on the date of distribution

Securities traded over the counter and not listed on the NASDAQ Global Market that are freely transferable shall be valued at the last sale price during the primary trading session on the date of determination, or, if no sales occurred on such day, at the "bid" price at the close of business on such day if held long and if sold short, at the “asked” price at the close of business on such day.

(d) The market value of a commodity future, financial future, forward or other similar contract shall be the most recent available closing quotation on such exchange. Foreign currency forward contracts shall be valued based on forward foreign exchange rates at the close of business on the date of determination. If the General Partner determines that such closing price does not accurately reflect the market value due to price limit constraints, such contract shall be valued at fair value as determined by the General Partner.

(e) Over-the-counter derivatives (excluding credit default swaps and total return swaps) are valued based on valuations obtained from one or more dealers in similar derivatives (selected by the General Partner); provided, however, that, where appropriate, such derivatives shall be valued with reference to the asset underlying the derivative (applying the methodology set forth herein for valuing the underlying asset).

(f) Over-the-counter credit default swaps are valued at the mean of their closing “bid” and “asked” quotations on the valuation date as quoted by one or more dealers (selected by the General Partner); provided that if multiple two-sided market quotations are available from more than one dealer, the credit default swap is valued at the average of the mean of at least two of the two-sided quotations. In cases in which a two-sided market quotation is not available but there is a one-sided market quotation available (which quotation is current as of or within three trading days prior to the valuation date), the credit default swap is valued on the basis of such quotation, as modified by a price differential consistently applied by the General Partner for similar credit default swaps. In the event a market quotation for a security or financial instrument is not readily available from any dealer or pricing service deemed to be reliable by the General Partner, the General Partner shall value the applicable security or instrument using proprietary, standard and/or third-party models; provided, however, that, where appropriate, such instruments shall be valued with reference to the asset underlying the instrument (applying the methodology set forth herein for valuing the underlying asset).

(g) Over-the-counter total return swaps are valued by the General Partner on the basis of the asset underlying such total return swaps, as determined by the General Partner (applying the methodology set forth herein for valuing the underlying asset).

(h) Until sold or deemed liquidated, private, difficult to value or illiquid securities (“Restricted Securities”) shall be valued at fair value as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion in accordance with GAAP.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, securities and other financial instruments for which no market prices are available or, for which the General Partner determines in its reasonable discretion that available market quotations do not fairly represent the value of such securities or financial instruments, shall be valued at fair value employing methods determined in good faith by the General Partner.

(j) The General Partner shall determine, in its sole discretion, the manner of valuing all other assets and liabilities of the Fund. No value will be assigned to the name or goodwill of the Fund for net asset value purposes.

(k) There will be deducted in computing Net Profits and Net Losses estimated expenses of the Fund for legal and audit services, administrative services and other expenses, if any, in respect of the particular Fiscal Period (whether performed therein or to be performed thereafter), and such reserves for contingent liabilities of the Fund, including estimated expenses, if any, in connection therewith, as the General Partner shall determine.

ARTICLE V

APPORTIONMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSET VALUE;
CASH FLOW DISTRIBUTIONS;
ALLOCATIONS OF NET INCOME AND NET LOSS

Section 5.01. Apportionment of Changes in Net Asset Value and Distributions of Cash Flow.

A. Net increases and net decreases of the Fund’s Net Asset Value shall be determined at the end of each month.

B. Net increases in Net Asset Value of Limited Partners’ Capital Accounts for each Fiscal Year attributable to such Limited Partners' Adjusted Capital, including the General Partner to the extent of its investment as a Limited Partner, shall be separately apportioned among the Limited Partners in proportion to their respective Adjusted Capital balances on the date of such determination, reduced by the amount of any Incentive Reallocation charged to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof.

C. Net decreases in Net Asset Value of Limited Partners’ Capital Accounts for each Fiscal Year attributable to such Limited Partners' Adjusted Capital shall be separately apportioned among the Limited Partners to the extent of and in proportion to the balance of their Adjusted Capital.

D. Each Limited Partner’s share of the increases and decreases of Net Asset Value for each Fiscal Year shall be adjusted to account for the timing of Capital Contributions, Additional Capital Contributions of capital by the Limited Partners during each month based on the amount of capital of such Limited Partners in the Fund during the relevant periods and the performance of the Fund during such periods. If a Limited Partner shall withdraw all such Limited Partner's capital from the Fund or if such Limited Partner’s capital shall be removed from the Fund pursuant to any of Sections 11.01 or 8.04 hereof other than on March 31 of any given year, there shall be a closing of the books of the Fund solely for the purpose of determining the net increase or net decrease in Net Asset Value to be apportioned to such Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 5.01 attributable to such Limited Partner's

Adjusted Capital to the date of withdrawal, and the amount of any Incentive Reallocation to be charged to such Limited Partner for such period.

Section 5.02. Incentive Reallocations to Biglari Capital.

A. “Compensation Plan.” Net increases in Net Asset Value are apportioned on an annual basis among the Limited Partners including the General Partner based upon their Adjusted Capital balances. As of the end of each calendar year, with respect to each Limited Partner other than The Lion Fund, L.P., an Incentive Reallocation in an amount equal to 25% of the Net Increase in Net Asset Value, calculated with respect to each Capital Contribution by such Limited Partner, that exceeds the Hurdle Rate with respect to such Capital Contribution and subject to the “Loss Carryforward” (as defined below) is debited from such Limited Partner's Adjusted Capital and Capital Accounts and credited to the Adjusted Capital and Capital Accounts of the General Partner. The Lion Fund, L.P. shall not be subject to the Incentive Reallocation.

B. “Hurdle Rate.” With respect to any Limited Partner the “Hurdle Rate” for any Fiscal Year shall be the return a Capital Contribution would have generated if it had been invested at a rate equal to (i) during the term of the Shared Services Agreement, 6% per annum, or (ii) 5% per annum, in either case for the portion of the Fiscal Year that such Capital Contribution was invested in the Fund.

C. “Loss Carryforward” Prior to January 1, 2021: Net Losses previously allocated to a Limited Partner’s Capital Account with respect to a particular Capital Contribution must be offset by subsequent Net Profits before the General Partner can receive an Incentive Reallocation with respect to such Capital Contribution after surpassing the applicable Hurdle Rate.

“Loss Carryforward” After January 1, 2021: Net Losses previously allocated to a Limited Partner’s Capital Account with respect to all Capital Contributions by such Limited partner in the aggregate must be offset in full by subsequent Net Profits before the General Partner can receive an Incentive Reallocation with respect to such Limited Partner’s Capital Account after surpassing the applicable Hurdle Rate.

Notwithstanding the above Loss Carryforward instructions, the post January 1, 2021 instructions shall not result in a greater Incentive Reallocation than computed using Pre January 1, 2021 instructions.

For all periods, the General Partner will forgo removing or reducing Net Losses when a Limited Partner withdrawals capital.

D. In the event that a Limited Partner withdraws capital (in whole or in part), the deduction of the Incentive Reallocation will be made with respect to such Limited Partner as of the withdrawal date.

E. For purposes of applying Section 5.02:

i. all Capital Contributions made by the same Limited Partner shall be considered part of the same Capital Account;

ii. the Incentive Reallocation will be determined and reallocated from the Limited Partners to Biglari Capital upon the dissolution of the Fund as if the effective date of such dissolution (irrespective of the time required thereafter to liquidate and wind up the affairs of the Company) was the last day of the Fiscal Year;

iii. the General Partner may waive or modify the Incentive Reallocation for any Limited Partner; and

iv. the General Partner’s Adjusted Capital and Capital Accounts shall not be charged any Incentive Reallocation.

Section 5.03. Distributions in the Form of Property. The General Partner may distribute Fund property to the Partners in lieu of cash.

Section 5.04. Net Income and Net Loss.

A. As of the end of each Fiscal Year, the Net Income or Net Loss of the Fund, and the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits of the Fund for state or local income tax purposes, shall be determined and allocated among the Partners by the General Partner. In making such allocations, the General Partner may determine the items to be allocated using any method selected by the General Partner which is permitted by Section 704 of the Code and the regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, a “Qualified Income Offset” as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6).

B. The General Partner shall make such allocations to the Partners pursuant to this Section 5.04 by taking into account: (i) the distributive shares of profit and loss, including the apportionment of increases and decreases in Net Asset Value attributable to the recognized income, deductions, gain and loss of the Fund, allowable to each Limited Partner and the General Partner for such Fiscal Year, (ii) any special allocations made to fewer than all Partners, (iii) the admission of new Limited Partners, (iv) distributions and withdrawals, (v) timing differences between income and loss for tax purposes and profits and losses for Fund accounting purposes and (vi) any other special circumstances which may arise.

C. The provisions of this Section 5.04 to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) no such allocation by the General Partner shall unfairly discriminate against any Limited Partner, and (ii) such allocations shall, to the maximum extent practicable in the judgment of the General Partner, (1) be made first to and among those Limited Partners who shall have withdrawn capital from the Fund during such Fiscal Year, to the extent of the excess of the amount received on such withdrawal over the Capital Account balance of such Limited Partner on the date of such withdrawal, and (2) reduce or eliminate the difference, if any, between (i) the aggregate net increases or decreases in the Net Asset Value which have been apportioned among the Adjusted Capital of the Limited Partners for the Fiscal Year then ending as well as all prior Fiscal Years, and (ii) the aggregate income, deductions, gains, and losses that have been allocated to such Limited Partners for federal income tax purposes during the Fiscal Year then ending, as well as all prior Fiscal Years.

D. Income deductions, gain and loss may, in discretion of the General Partner, be allocated separately and not netted, making appropriate adjustments to reflect investments in pass-through entities.

Section 5.05. Code and Treasury Regulation Adjustments. The allocation for federal income tax purposes of Net Income and Net Loss is intended to allocate taxable income and loss among the Partners in the ratio and to the extent that the economic profit and loss are allocated to such Partners’ Capital Accounts so as to eliminate, to the extent possible, any disparity between a Capital Account and his or her Adjusted Capital with respect to each Interest then outstanding, consistent with the principles set forth in Code Sections 704(b) and 704(c). If, in the judgment of the Fund's accountants, the allocations for Federal income tax purposes shall not satisfy the requirements of Code Sections 704(b) and 704(c) or the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder or shall violate any other provision of the Code or Treasury Regulation, or shall not properly take into account any expenditure by or receipt of the Fund, the Fund's accountants shall adjust the allocations accordingly. Such adjustments shall not materially and adversely affect the amount of Cash Flow which would otherwise be distributed to a Partner unless such Partner shall have consented to such adjustments.

Section 5.06. New Issues. In the event that the Fund invests in securities that are considered to be "New Issues", as that term is defined in the Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., as may be amended from time to time (the "FINRA Rules"), the General Partner shall be permitted to take all such actions as it deems are necessary to ensure that the profits and losses from New Issues are allocated among the Partners in a manner permitted under the FINRA Rules. In this regard, the General Partner is authorized to determine, among other things: (i) the manner in which New Issues are purchased, held, transferred and sold by the Fund and any adjustments (including interest) with respect thereto; (ii) the Partners who are eligible and ineligible to participate in the profits and losses from New Issues; (iii) the method by which profits and losses from New Issues are to be allocated among Partners in a manner that is permitted under the FINRA Rules (including whether the Fund will avail itself of a “de minimis” exemption or any other exemption); and (iv) the time at which New Issues are no longer considered as such under the FINRA Rules.

Each Limited Partner further agrees that the General Partner may alternatively seek Limited Partner approvals in any other manner provided for in the Fund Agreement.

E. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Advisory Committee member in respect of the activities of the Advisory Committee shall owe any fiduciary duty to the Fund or any Partner or shall be obligated to act in the best interests of the Fund, any Partner or the Limited Partners as a group.

F. Each Advisory Committee member (but solely with respect to any action or omission of such Advisory Committee member in his or her capacity as such) and each Limited Partner represented by such Advisory Committee member (but, in each case, solely to the same extent that the applicable Advisory Committee member is entitled to indemnification) shall be indemnified by the Fund for any loss or expenses suffered or sustained as a result of or in connection with any action or omission of the Advisory Committee member (but solely with respect to any action or omission of such Advisory Committee member in his or her capacity as such), including without limitation, any judgment, settlement, reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action or proceeding; provided that such indemnity shall not be payable in the event the Advisory Committee member’s action or omission constituted fraud or willful malfeasance.

Section 10.02. Admission of Additional Limited Partners. A General Partner, on behalf of the Fund, may admit Additional Limited Partners to the Fund without the prior approval of the Limited Partners. Each Additional Limited Partner shall be obligated to make a Capital Contribution to the Fund on such terms as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, shall determine. The General Partner shall do all things it deems to be necessary and advisable in connection with the Fund admitting such Additional Limited Partners, including, but not limited to, complying with any statute, rule, regulation or guideline issued by any federal, state or other governmental agency.

Section 10.03. Admission of Additional General Partners.

ARTICLE XI

WITHDRAWAL FROM THE FUND

Section 11.01. Withdrawal by Limited Partners.

A. A Limited Partner may withdraw all or any portion of its Capital Account attributable to a particular Capital Contribution as of March 31 of the fifth year after the year in which such Limited Partner made such contribution, and every March 31 occurring every five years thereafter. A Limited Partner requesting a withdrawal pursuant to this Section 11.01(A) must provide written notice to the General Partner that must actually be received by the General Partner between March 1 and March 31 of the year in which such withdrawal is to be effected.

B. A Limited Partner's Interests in the Fund shall be terminated upon his or her complete withdrawal of his or her Capital Account.

Section 11.02. Payment of Withdrawals for Limited Partners who are not Significant Limited Partners.

A. The Fund will pay Limited Partners who make partial withdrawals of their Capital Account as promptly as practicable, generally within 30 days.

B. A Limited Partner who withdraws its entire Capital Account will receive an amount equal to the value of its Capital Account as of the date of withdrawal. The estate or legal representative of any deceased, bankrupt or legally incapacitated partner may, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, be paid the value of such Limited Partner's Capital Account as of the end of the fiscal year during which such Limited Partner died or became bankrupt or legally incapacitated.

C. Upon the complete withdrawal of a Capital Account by a Limited Partner (including mandatory withdrawals), the Fund will pay such Limited Partner at least 90% of the estimated value of its Capital Account within 90 days after the withdrawal date. After the General Partner has made a final determination of the value of the Capital Accounts of all the Partners as of such withdrawal date (which, in the General Partner's discretion, may be after the annual audit of the Fund), the Fund will pay promptly to such Limited Partner, or its representative, the excess, if any, of the amount to which such Limited Partner is entitled over the amount previously paid, or such Limited Partner, or its representative, will be obligated to repay to the Fund the excess, if any, of the amount previously paid over the amount to which such Limited Partner is entitled.

Section 11.03. Payment of Withdrawals for Significant Limited Partners. All withdrawals of a Capital Account by a Significant Limited Partner will be paid over a 24 month period, with the first payment occurring no earlier than June 30th of the year in which the withdrawal is made. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, will determine the amount and timing of all such withdrawal payments to Significant Limited Partners, taking into account, among other things, the size of the withdrawal, the total size of the Fund, the liquidity of the Fund, and the Fund’s cash flow needs (including the funding of other withdrawal requests) in order to ensure that the Significant Limited Partner’s withdrawal does not have an adverse effect on the Fund or the other Limited Partners.

Section 11.04. Waivers and Modifications. The General Partner reserves the right to waive or modify terms related to withdrawals for any Limited Partner who is not a Significant Limited Partner pursuant to a written agreement with such Limited Partner. For the avoidance of doubt, any such waiver or modification does not establish a course of dealing or a business practice with respect to the treatment of withdrawal payments made to Significant Limited Partners, including but not limited to, Biglari Holdings.

Section 11.05. Reserves. All withdrawal payments are subject to the retention of a reserve for Partnership liabilities and contingencies, as provided in Section 13.04. If the reserve (or a portion thereof) is later determined by the General Partner to have been in excess of the amount required, the proportionate amount of such excess will be returned to each partner without interest.

Section 11.06. Withdrawal Payments.

(a) Payments to a Partner on any withdrawal may be made in cash or, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, in securities selected by the General Partner or in a combination of cash and securities selected by the General Partner. Securities or other instruments that are distributed to a Partner in connection with an in-kind distribution may be in the form of interests or shares of a special purpose vehicle (“SPV”) owned by the Fund, with the SPV holding assets contributed by the Fund, or a participation interest in a liquidating trust, series, entity or liquidating account. A withdrawing Partner will incur transaction costs in connection with the sale of securities and instruments distributed in-kind, and, in the case of interests or shares in an SPV, will bear a proportionate share of the operating and other expenses borne by such SPV. If a distribution is made in kind, immediately prior to such distribution, Biglari Capital will determine the fair value of the property distributed and the appreciation or depreciation of such property will be taken into account in calculating the Incentive Reallocation, if any.

(b) A Limited Partner whose Interests is terminated or reduced hereunder shall pay all expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with such withdrawal, including the cost of preparing and filing an amendment to the Fund's Certificate of Limited Partnership, if necessary, attorneys' fees, and accounting expenses.

ARTICLE XII

DISSOLUTION

Section 12.01. Causes. Each Partner expressly waives any right which it, he, or she might otherwise have to dissolve the Fund except as set forth in this Article XII. Upon the happening of the first to occur of the following events, the Fund shall be dissolved:

A. The Bankruptcy, death, dissolution, or any other occurrence which would legally disqualify the General Partner from acting hereunder;

B. The resignation or withdrawal from the Fund of the General Partner;

C. The notice of dissolution by the General Partner in its sole discretion to the Limited Partners; or

D. The occurrence of any other circumstance which, by law, would require that the Fund be dissolved.

Section 12.02. Reconstitution. If the Fund is dissolved as a result of an event described in Section 12.01A or 12.01B, the Fund may be reconstituted and its business continued if, within ninety (90) days after the date of dissolution, all Limited Partners affirmatively elect to reconstitute the Fund, agree on the identity of the new General Partner and execute an instrument confirming such facts. If the Fund is reconstituted, an amendment to this Agreement shall be executed and an amended Certificate of Limited Fund shall be filed and recorded.

Section 12.03. Interim Manager. If the Fund is dissolved as a result of an event described in Section 12.01A or 12.01B and there is no remaining General Partner, Limited Partners who own at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the Interests of all of the Limited Partners may appoint an interim manager of the Fund, who shall have and may exercise only the rights, powers and duties of the General Partner necessary to preserve the Fund assets, until: (i) a new General Partner is elected under Section 12.02, if the Fund is reconstituted; or (ii) a Liquidator is appointed under Section 13.01, if the Fund is not reconstituted. The interim manager shall not be liable as a General Partner to the Limited Partners and shall, while acting in the capacity of interim manager on behalf of the Fund, be entitled to the same indemnification rights as are set forth in Section 7.05. The interim manager and the Limited Partners who own at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the Interests of all Limited Partners of the reconstituted Fund shall determine the reasonable compensation to be paid to the interim manager for providing services hereunder.

Section 12.04. Termination of Fund for Federal Income Tax Purposes. In the event that Partners sell or exchange, within any period of 12 consecutive months, Interests representing 50% or more of the outstanding Interests in Fund capital and profits (but not Partners who redeem all or a portion of their Interests in the Fund), the Fund will terminate for federal income tax purposes. If the Fund terminates for such purposes, its taxable year would close as to all Partners on the termination date. Each Partner would be required to take into account his share of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction or credit for such closed taxable year on his return for the taxable year within which such Fund taxable year ends. In addition, under Treasury Regulations, the Fund would be deemed to have contributed all of its assets and liabilities to the new Fund for Interests in the new Fund, and to have distributed this new Interest to the Partners in proportion to their respective Interests in liquidation of the terminated Fund. However, the deemed contribution and distribution would be disregarded in determining Capital Accounts of the Partners. The “new” Fund could continue to file its federal tax returns using the “old” terminated Fund's Federal employer identification number. The “new” Fund would need to make new tax elections.

ARTICLE XIII

WINDING UP AND TERMINATION

Section 13.01. General. If the Fund is dissolved and is not reconstituted, the remaining General Partner, or in the event that there is no remaining General Partner, a Liquidator or liquidating committee selected by those Limited Partners owning at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the Interests of all of the Limited Partners, shall commence to wind up the affairs of the Fund and to liquidate and sell the Fund's assets. The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall have sufficient business expertise and competence to conduct the winding up and termination of the Fund and, in the course thereof, to cause the Fund to perform any contracts which the Fund has or thereafter enters into. The Liquidator shall have full rights and unlimited discretion to determine the time, manner and terms of any sales of Fund property under such liquidation having due regard for the activity and condition of the relevant markets and general financial and economic conditions. The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) appointed as provided herein shall be entitled to receive such reasonable compensation for its services as shall be agreed upon by the Liquidator and those Limited Partners owning at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the Interests of all of the Limited Partners. If the General Partner serves as the Liquidator, the General Partner shall not be entitled to receive any fee for carrying out the duties of the Liquidator. The Liquidator may resign at any time by giving fifteen (15) days prior written notice and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by written notice of removal signed by those Limited Partners owning at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the Interests of the Fund. Upon the death, dissolution, removal or resignation of the Liquidator, a successor and substitute Liquidator (who shall have and succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the original Liquidator) shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, be appointed by those Limited Partners owning at least fifty-one (51%) of the Interests of all of the

Limited Partners, evidenced by written appointment and acceptance. The right to appoint a successor or substitute Liquidator in the manner provided herein shall be recurring and continuing for so long as the functions and services of the Liquidator are authorized to continue under the provisions hereof, and every reference herein to the Liquidator also shall refer to any such successor or substitute Liquidator appointed in the manner herein provided. The Liquidator shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or consent of any of the parties hereto or their legal representatives or successors in interest, all of the powers conferred upon the General Partner under the terms of this Agreement to the extent necessary or deniable in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator to perform its duties and functions. The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall not be liable as the General Partner to the Limited Partners and shall, while acting in such capacity as the Liquidator on behalf of the Fund, be entitled to the indemnification rights set forth in Section 7.05.

Section 13.02. Appointment of Liquidator by Judge. If within ninety (90) days following the date of dissolution, a Liquidator or successor Liquidator has not been appointed in the manner provided herein, any Partner shall have the right to make application to any United States District Judge for the Western District of Texas, (in his or her individual and not judicial capacity) for appointment of a Liquidator or successor Liquidator, and the Judge, acting as an individual and not in his judicial capacity, shall be authorized and empowered to appoint and designate a Liquidator or successor Liquidator who shall have all the powers, duties, rights and authority of the Liquidator herein provided.

Section 13.03. Liquidation. In the course of winding up and terminating the business and affairs of the Fund, the assets of the Fund (other than cash) shall be sold, its liabilities and obligations to creditors, including any Partners who made loans to the Fund as provided in Section 4.05, and all expenses incurred in the liquidation of the Fund shall be paid, and all resulting items of Fund income, gain, loss, or deduction shall be credited or charged to the Adjusted Capital of the Partners in accordance with Article V. Thereafter, the net proceeds from such sales (after deducting all selling costs and expenses in connection therewith), together with (at the expiration of the period referred to in Section 13.04) the balance in the reserve account referred to in Section 13.04 shall be distributed among the Partners in the ratio of the then positive balances of their Adjusted Capital. The Liquidator shall be instructed to use all reasonable efforts to complete the liquidation of the Fund within three (3) months after the date the Fund is dissolved. Each Limited Partner shall look solely to the assets of the Fund for all distributions and shall have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution or otherwise) against the Fund, the General Partner(s) or the Liquidator. Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Fund and the distribution of all the Fund funds to the Partners, the Fund shall terminate, and the Liquidator shall have the authority to execute and record all documents required to effectuate such dissolution and termination of the Fund.

Section 13.04. Creation of Reserves. After making or provisions for payment of all debts and liabilities of the Fund and all expenses of liquidation, the Liquidator may set up, for a period not to exceed nine (9) months after the date of dissolution, such cash reserves as the Liquidator may deem reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Fund. Such cash reserves shall, to the extent reasonably possible, be placed in an interest bearing account, and each Limited Partner shall be credited with his or her pro rata share of such interest payments.

Section 13.05. Final Accounting. Within a reasonable time following the completion of the liquidation, the Liquidator shall supply to each of the Partners a statement which shall set forth the assets and the liabilities of the Fund as of the date of complete liquidation, each Partner's pro rata portion of distributions under Section 13.03.
