(c) If the Book Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) as provided in clause (c) of the definition of Book Value in Section 1.01, subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c).

Section 6.02 Reserved.
Section 6.03 Tax Withholding; Withholding Advances.
(a) Each Partner agrees to furnish the Partnership with any representations and forms as shall be reasonably requested by the General Partner to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, any withholding obligations it may have.
(b) The Partnership is hereby authorized at all times to make payments (“Withholding Advances”) with respect to each Partner in amounts required to discharge any obligation of the Partnership (as determined by the Partnership Representative based on the advice of legal or tax counsel to the Partnership) to withhold or make payments to any federal, state, local, or foreign taxing authority (a “Taxing Authority”) with respect to any distribution or allocation by the Partnership of income or gain to such Partner and to withhold the same from distributions to such Partner. Any funds withheld from a distribution by reason of this Section 6.03(b) shall nonetheless be deemed distributed to the Partner in question for all purposes under this Agreement. If the Partnership makes any Withholding Advance in respect of a Partner hereunder that is not immediately withheld from actual distributions to the Partner, then the Partner shall promptly reimburse the Partnership for the amount of such payment, plus interest at a rate equal to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the date of payment plus two percent (2.0%) per annum, compounded annually, on such amount from the date of such payment until such amount is repaid (or deducted from a distribution) by the Partner (any such payment shall not constitute a Capital Contribution).
(c) Each Partner xxxxxx agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership and the other Partners from and against any liability with respect to taxes, interest, or penalties that may be asserted by reason of the Partnership’s failure to deduct and withhold tax on amounts distributable or allocable to such Partner. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 6.03(c) and the obligations of a Partner pursuant to Section 6.03(b) shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation, and winding up of the Partnership and the withdrawal of such Partner from the Partnership or Transfer of such Partner’s Partnership Interests. The General Partner may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies the Partnership may have against each Partner under this Section 6.03(c), including bringing a lawsuit to collect repayment with interest of any Withholding Advances.
24 |
(d) Neither the General Partner nor the Partnership shall be liable for any excess taxes withheld in respect of any distribution or allocation of income or gain to a Partner. In the event of an overwithholding, a Partner’s sole recourse shall be to apply for a refund from the appropriate Taxing Authority.
Section 6.04 Distributions in Kind.
(a) The General Partner may cause the Partnership to make distributions to the Partners in the form of securities or other property held by the Partnership. In any such non-cash distribution, the securities or property so distributed will be distributed among the Partners pro rata in the same proportion as cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such securities or other property would be distributed among the Partners pursuant to Section 6.01(a).
(b) Any such distribution of securities shall be subject to such conditions and restrictions as the General Partner determines are required or advisable to ensure compliance with Applicable Law. In furtherance of the foregoing, the General Partner may require that the Partners execute and deliver such documents as the General Partner may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with all federal and state securities laws that apply to such distribution and any further transfer of the distributed securities, and may appropriately legend the certificates that represent such securities to reflect any restriction on transfer with respect to such laws.

As soon as any Person who is a Partner ceases to hold any Partnership Interests, such Person shall no longer be a Partner.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including Section 8.02), each Partner agrees that such Partner will not Transfer all or any portion of such Partner’s Partnership Interest, and the Partnership shall not issue any Partnership Interests:
(i) except as permitted under the Securities Act and other applicable federal or state securities or blue sky laws, and then, with respect to a Transfer of Partnership Interests, only upon delivery to the Partnership of an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner to the effect that such Transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act;
(ii) if such Transfer or issuance would cause the Partnership to be considered a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704(b) of the Code within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii), including the look-through rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(3);
(iii) if such Transfer or issuance would affect the Partnership’s existence or qualification as a limited partnership under the Delaware Act;
(iv) if such Transfer or issuance would cause the Partnership to lose its status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes;
(v) if such Transfer or issuance would cause the Partnership to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940; or
(vi) if such Transfer or issuance would cause the assets of the Partnership to be deemed “Plan Assets” as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or its accompanying regulations or result in any “prohibited transaction” thereunder involving the Partnership.
29 |
(e) Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Partnership Interest in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void, no such Transfer shall be recorded on the Partnership’s books, and the purported Transferee in any such Transfer shall not be treated (and the purported Transferor shall continue be treated) as the owner of such Partnership Interest for all purposes of this Agreement.
(f) For the avoidance of doubt, any Transfer of a Partnership Interest permitted by this Agreement shall be deemed a sale, transfer, assignment, or other disposal of such Partnership Interest in its entirety as intended by the parties to such Transfer, and shall not be deemed a sale, transfer, assignment, or other disposal of any less than all of the rights and benefits described in the definition of the term “General Partner Interest” or “Limited Partner Interest,” as the case may be, unless otherwise explicitly agreed to by the parties to such Transfer.
Section 8.02 Permitted Transfers. The provisions of Section 8.01(b) shall not apply to any Transfer by any Limited Partner of all or any portion of their Limited Partner Interest to any of the following:

(b) In the case of a Limited Partner that is not an individual, an Affiliate of such Limited Partner; or
(c) a Limited Partner.
Section 8.03 No Withdrawal. No Partner may withdraw or resign as a Partner prior to the Transfer of such Partner’s entire Partnership Interest in accordance with this Agreement without the consent of each of the other Partners. Without limiting the foregoing, the General Partner agrees that it will not withdraw from the Partnership as general partner within the meaning of § 17-602(a) of the Delaware Act. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any withdrawal or resignation or attempted withdrawal or resignation by a Partner in violation of this Section 8.03 shall be null and void.
ARTICLE IX
Exculpation and Indemnification
Section 9.01 Exculpation of Covered Persons.
30 |
(a) Covered Persons. As used herein, the term “Covered Person” shall mean each (i) General Partner; (ii) Limited Partner; and (iii) Affiliate of a Partner, and each of their controlling Affiliates; and (iv) Officer.
(b) Standard of Care. No Covered Person shall be liable to the Partnership or any other Covered Person for any loss, damage, or claim incurred by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Covered Person in their capacity as a Covered Person, whether or not such Person continues to be a Covered Person at the time such loss, damage, or claim is incurred or imposed, so long as such action or omission does not constitute fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or a material breach of this Agreement or any Applicable Agreement, by such Covered Person.
(c) Good Faith Reliance. A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Partnership and upon such information, opinions, reports, or statements (including financial statements and information, opinions, reports, or statements as to the value or amount of the assets, liabilities, Net Income, or Net Losses of the Partnership, or any facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions might properly be paid) of the following Persons or groups: (i) another Covered Person; (ii) one or more officers or employees of the Partnership; (iii) any attorney, independent accountant, appraiser, or other expert or professional employed or engaged by or on behalf of the Partnership; or (iv) any other Person selected in good faith by or on behalf of the Partnership, in each case as to matters that such relying Person reasonably believes to be within such other Person’s professional or expert competence. The preceding sentence shall in no way limit any Person’s right to rely on information to the extent provided in § 17-407 of the Delaware Act.
Section 9.02 Liabilities and Duties of Covered Persons.
(a) Limitation of Liability. This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duty on any Covered Person. Furthermore, each of the Partners and the Partnership hereby waives any and all fiduciary duties that, absent such waiver, may be implied by Applicable Law, and in doing so, acknowledges and agrees that the duties and obligations of each Covered Person to each other and to the Partnership are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.
(b) Duties. Whenever in this Agreement a Covered Person is permitted or required to make a decision (including a decision that is in such Covered Person’s “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude), such Covered Person shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as such Covered Person desires, including such Covered Person’s own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Partnership or any other Person. Whenever in this Agreement a Covered Person is permitted or required to make a decision in such Covered Person’s “good faith,” the Covered Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Agreement or any other Applicable Law.
31 |
Section 9.03 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Act, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted, or replaced (but, in the case of any such amendment, substitution, or replacement, only to the extent that such amendment, substitution, or replacement permits the Partnership to provide broader indemnification rights than the Delaware Act permitted the Partnership to provide prior to such amendment, substitution, or replacement), the Partnership shall indemnify, hold harmless, defend, pay, and reimburse any Covered Person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines, or liabilities, including reasonable legal fees or other expenses incurred in investigating or defending against such losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines, or liabilities, and any amounts expended in settlement of any claims (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Covered Person may become subject by reason of any act or omission or alleged act or omission performed or omitted to be performed on behalf of or for the benefit of the Partnership; provided, that (i) such Covered Person acted in good faith and in a manner believed by such Covered Person to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful and (ii) such act or omission did not constitute fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or a material breach of this Agreement or any Applicable Agreement, in each case as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. In connection with the foregoing, the termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Covered Person did not act in good faith or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such Covered Person’s conduct was unlawful, or that the Covered Person’s conduct constituted fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or a material breach of this Agreement or any Applicable Agreement.
(b) Advancement. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by a Covered Person in connection with investigating, preparing to defend, or defending any claim relating to any Losses for which such Covered Person may be entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 9.03(a) shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Partnership prior to a final, non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction that, in respect of such matter, such Covered Person is not entitled to indemnification for such Losses; provided, however, that the Covered Person shall have provided to the Partnership (i) written affirmation of such Covered Person’s good faith belief that such Covered Person has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification for such Losses under Section 9.03(a); and (ii) an undertaking to repay all such advanced amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to such indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Partnership shall not be required to advance expenses incurred by a Covered Person in connection with a claim initiated against such Covered Person by the General Partner or the Partnership; and (y) any advancement of expenses of the General Partner or its Affiliate shall, unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction and without limitation of their obligation to repay such advanced amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that the General Partner or such Affiliate is not entitled to such indemnification, be provided by the Partnership only upon a determination by independent legal counsel that, based on the facts known to such counsel at the time such determination is made, indemnification of the General Partner or such Affiliate in respect of the claim to be advanced is proper in such circumstances because it has met the applicable standard of conduct necessary for indemnification of such Losses under Section 9.03(a).
32 |
(c) Notice of Proceeding. The General Partner shall promptly report the commencement of any proceeding regarding or claim for indemnification or advancement under this Section 9.03, and the material details and developments in respect thereof, to the Limited Partners.
(d) Entitlement to Indemnity. The indemnification provided by this Section 9.03 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 9.03 shall continue to afford protection to each Covered Person regardless of whether such Covered Person remains in the position or capacity pursuant to which such Covered Person became entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.03 and shall inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, legatees, and distributees of such Covered Person.
(e) Insurance. To the extent available on commercially reasonable terms, the General Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Partnership to purchase and maintain insurance to cover Losses covered by the foregoing indemnification provisions and to otherwise cover Losses for any breach or alleged breach by any Covered Person of such Covered Person’s duties in such amount and with such deductibles as the General Partner may determine; provided, that the failure to obtain such insurance shall not affect the right to indemnification of any Covered Person under the indemnification provisions contained herein, including the right to be reimbursed or advanced expenses or otherwise indemnified for Losses hereunder. If any Covered Person recovers any amounts in respect of any Losses from any insurance coverage, then such Covered Person shall, to the extent that such recovery is duplicative, reimburse the Partnership for any amounts previously paid to such Covered Person by the Partnership in respect of such Losses.
(f) Funding of Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any indemnity by the Partnership relating to the matters covered in this Section 9.03 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Partnership assets only, and no Partner (unless such Partner otherwise agrees in writing) shall have personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity by the Partnership.
(g) Savings Clause. If this Section 9.03 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Partnership shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person pursuant to this Section 9.03 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 9.03 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.
33 |
(h) Amendment. The provisions of this Section 9.03 shall be a contract between the Partnership, on the one hand, and each Covered Person who served in such capacity at any time while this Section 9.03 is in effect, on the other hand, pursuant to which the Partnership and each such Covered Person intend to be legally bound. No amendment, modification, or repeal of this Section 9.03 that adversely affects the rights of a Covered Person to indemnification for Losses incurred or relating to a state of facts existing prior to such amendment, modification, or repeal shall apply in such a way as to eliminate or reduce such Covered Person’s entitlement to indemnification for such Losses without the Covered Person’s prior written consent.
Section 9.04 Survival. The provisions of this ARTICLE IX shall survive the dissolution, liquidation, winding up, and termination of the Partnership.
ARTICLE X
Accounting; REPORTING; Tax Matters
Section 10.01 Books and Records.
(a) The General Partner shall maintain or cause to be maintained at the office of the Partnership full and accurate books of the Partnership (which at all times shall remain the property of the Partnership), in the name of the Partnership, and separate and apart from the books of the General Partner and its Affiliates, including true and complete accounts of all transactions of or on behalf of the Partnership, a list of the names, addresses, and interests of all Partners, and all other books, records, and information required by the Delaware Act. The Partnership’s books and records shall be maintained in accordance with GAAP. The Partnership shall initially retain Novogradac & Company LLC as its independent certified public accountant. The General Partner may cause the Partnership to retain any other accounting firm as its independent certified public accounting firm as it may from time to time determine.
(b) Subject to Section 12.03, each Limited Partner shall be allowed full and complete access to review all records and books of account of the Partnership for a purpose reasonably related to such Limited Partner’s interest as a Limited Partner of the Partnership at the offices of the Partnership (or such other location designated by the General Partner) during regular business hours, at such Limited Partner’s expense, and upon two (2) Business Days’ notice to the General Partner. The General Partner shall retain all records and books relating to the Partnership for a period of at least five (5) years after the termination of the Partnership. Each Limited Partner agrees that (i) such books and records contain confidential information relating to the Partnership and its affairs that is subject to Section 12.03; and (ii) the General Partner shall have the right, except as prohibited by the Delaware Act, to prohibit or otherwise limit in its reasonable discretion the making of any copies of such books and records.

(i) audited financial statements of the Partnership (including an income statement, balance sheet, statement of cash flows, and statement of partners’ capital) prepared in accordance with GAAP;
(ii) a summary description of any material events regarding the business of the Partnership during such Fiscal Year; and
(iii) a statement of the amount of such Limited Partner’s share in the Partnership’s taxable income or loss for such Fiscal Year and information relating to the nature thereof, (including copies of IRS Schedule K-1) in sufficient detail to enable it to prepare such Limited Partner’s federal, state, and local income tax and information returns.
(b) Notwithstanding the above, Partners acknowledge that it may require a substantial period of time after the end of the Partnership’s fiscal year to obtain the requisite information to prepare and deliver Schedules K-1 and for such reason, Partners who are U.S. taxpayers should anticipate the need to file annually with the IRS (and certain states) a request for an extension past the due date of their income tax return.
Section 10.03 Income Tax Status. The Partners intend that the Partnership shall be treated as a partnership for U.S., federal, state, and local income tax purposes. Neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall make an election for the Partnership to be classified as other than a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3.
Section 10.04 Partnership Funds. All funds of the Partnership shall be deposited in its name in such federally insured checking, savings, or other bank accounts, or held in its name in the form of such other investments, as shall be designated by the General Partner. The funds of the Partnership shall not be commingled with the funds of any other Person. All withdrawals of such deposits or liquidations of such investments by the Partnership shall be made exclusively upon the signature of the General Partner or such Officer, Officers or service providers as the General Partner may designate.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any expenses incurred by the Partnership Representative in carrying out its responsibilities and duties in such capacity under this Agreement shall be an expense of the Partnership for which the Partnership Representative shall be reimbursed by the Partnership. The Partnership Representative shall appoint an individual (the “Designated Individual”) meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 301.6223-1(c)(3) as the sole person authorized to represent the Partnership Representative in audits and other proceedings governed by the Partnership Tax Audit Rules. To the extent provided in the Partnership Tax Audit Rules, the General Partner shall have the power to remove and replace the Designated Individual and to designate a successor Partnership Representative or Designated Individual. If an Event of Withdrawal occurs, a Requisite Interest shall designate a successor Partnership Representative and Designated Individual.
35 |
(b) Tax Examinations and Audits. The Partnership Representative is authorized and required to represent the Partnership in connection with all examinations of the affairs of the Partnership by any Taxing Authority, including any resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend funds of the Partnership for professional services and costs associated therewith. Each Partner agrees that any action taken by the Partnership Representative in connection with audits of the Partnership (including actions by the Designated Individual in an audit governed by the Partnership Tax Audit Rules) shall be binding upon such Partner and that such Partner shall not independently act with respect to tax audits or tax litigation affecting the Partnership. The Partnership Representative shall have sole discretion to determine whether the Partnership (either on its own behalf or on behalf of the Partners) will contest or continue to contest any tax deficiencies assessed or proposed to be assessed by any Taxing Authority. Each Partner agrees to cooperate with the Partnership Representative and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably requested by the Partnership Representative with respect to the conduct of examinations by Taxing Authorities and any resulting proceedings; provided, that a Partner shall not be required to file an amended federal income tax return, as described in Section 6225(c)(2)(A) of the Code.

To the extent that the Partnership Representative and Designated Individual do not make an election under Section 6221(b) of the Code, the Partnership Representative and the Designated Individual shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce to the extent possible the amount of tax owed by the Partnership pursuant to an audit under the Partnership Tax Audit Rules (or analogous state or local partnership audit procedures) by either (i) making any modifications available under Section 6225(c)(3), (4), and (5) of the Code (or analogous provisions of state or local law) or (ii) making a timely election under Section 6226 of the Code (or an analogous provision of state or local law). If an election under Section 6226(a) of the Code is made, the Partnership shall furnish to each Partner for the year under audit a statement of the Partner’s share of any adjustment set forth in the notice of final partnership adjustment, and each Partner shall take such adjustment into account as required under Section 6226(b) of the Code.
(d) Tax Returns and Tax Deficiencies. Each Partner agrees that such Partner shall not treat any Partnership item inconsistently on such Partner’s federal, state, foreign, or other income tax return with the treatment of the item on the Partnership’s return. Any deficiency for taxes imposed on any Partner (including penalties, additions to tax, or interest imposed with respect to such taxes and any tax deficiency imposed pursuant to Section 6226 of the Code) will be paid by such Partner and if required to be paid (and actually paid) by the Partnership, will be recoverable from such Partner as provided in Section 6.03(c).

37 |
Section 11.03 Liquidation. If the Partnership is dissolved pursuant to ARTICLE XI, the Partnership shall be liquidated and its business and affairs wound up in accordance with the Delaware Act and the following provisions:
(a) Liquidator. The General Partner, or if an Event of Withdrawal regarding the General Partner caused the dissolution of the Partnership, such other Person who may be appointed by a Requisite Interest shall act as liquidator to wind up the Partnership (the “Liquidator”). The Liquidator shall have full power and authority to sell, assign, and encumber any or all of the Partnership’s assets and to wind up and liquidate the affairs of the Partnership in any reasonable manner that the Liquidator shall determine to be in the best interest of the Partners or their successors.
(b) Accounting. As promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the Liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Partnership’s assets, liabilities, and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable.
(c) Distribution of Proceeds. The Liquidator shall liquidate the assets of the Partnership and distribute the proceeds of such liquidation in the following order of priority, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of Applicable Law:
(i) first, to the payment of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to its creditors (including Partners, if applicable, and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) and the expenses of liquidation;
(ii) second, to the establishment of and additions to reserves that are determined by the Liquidator to be reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership; and
(iii) third, to the Partners in accordance with the positive balances in their respective Capital Accounts, as determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the taxable year of the Partnership during which the liquidation of the Partnership occurs.
(d) Discretion of Liquidator. Notwithstanding Section 6.04 or the provisions of Section 11.03(c) that require the liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth in Section 11.03(c), if upon dissolution of the Partnership the Liquidator reasonably determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or could cause undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may defer the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy Partnership liabilities and reserves, and may, with the consent of a Requisite Interest, distribute to the Partners, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.03(c), undivided interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distribution in kind shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operating of such properties at such time. For purposes of any such distribution, any property to be distributed shall be valued at its Fair Market Value as determined by the Liquidator in good faith.
38 |
Section 11.04 Cancellation of Certificate. Upon completion of the distribution of the assets of the Partnership as provided in Section 11.03(c), the Partnership shall be terminated and the Liquidator shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate of Limited Partnership in the State of Delaware and of all qualifications and registrations of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership.
Section 11.05 Survival of Rights, Duties, and Obligations. Dissolution, liquidation, winding up, or termination of the Partnership for any reason shall not release any party from any Loss that at the time of such dissolution, liquidation, winding up, or termination already had accrued to any other party or thereafter may accrue in respect of any act or omission prior to such dissolution, liquidation, winding up, or termination. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the foregoing shall replace, diminish, or otherwise adversely affect any Partner’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.03.
Section 11.06 Recourse for Claims. Each Partner shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for all distributions with respect to the Partnership, such Partner’s Capital Account, and such Partner’s share of Net Income, Net Loss, and other items of income, gain, loss, and deduction, and shall have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution or otherwise) against the Liquidator or any other Partner.

Any non-public proprietary or confidential information, including any trade secrets, relating to (a) a Partner’s or such Partner’s Affiliate’s business, operation, or finances or (b) the Partnership and its business, operation, or finances received by a Partner (each, a “Receiving Person”) is referred to herein as “Confidential Information.” All such information received by a Receiving Person shall be presumed to be Confidential Information at the time of delivery or other disclosure to such Receiving Person. Nothing herein shall restrict the disclosure by a specified Partner of information relating to the business, operation, or finances of such specified Partner or such Partner’s Affiliate (and, with respect to such specified Partner, such information shall not constitute Confidential Information). All Confidential Information shall be protected by the Receiving Person from disclosure with the same degree of care that the Receiving Person uses to protect such Receiving Person’s own Confidential Information from disclosure, and in no event less than a commercially reasonable level of care. Without limiting the foregoing, each Receiving Person agrees (i) not to disclose Confidential Information to any Person, except to those of such Receiving Person’s employees or representatives that need to know such Confidential Information in connection with the conduct of the business of the Partnership and that have agreed to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information; and (ii) that neither such Receiving Person nor any of such Receiving Person’s employees or representatives will use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than in connection with the conduct of the business of the Partnership; provided that such restrictions shall not apply (and such Receiving Person shall not be required to protect such Confidential Information) if such Confidential Information: (x) is or hereafter becomes public, other than by breach of this Agreement by such Receiving Person or such Receiving Persons’ employees or representatives; (y) was already in the possession of the Receiving Person prior to any disclosure of the Confidential Information to the Receiving Person by the disclosing Partner or the Partnership; or (z) has been or is hereafter obtained by the Receiving Person from a third party not bound by any confidentiality obligation with respect to such Confidential Information; provided, further, that nothing herein shall prevent any Partner from disclosing any portion of such Confidential Information (A) to the General Partner in connection with the Partnership’s business; (B) pursuant to judicial order or in response to a Governmental Authority inquiry, by subpoena, or other legal process, but only to the extent required by such order, inquiry, subpoena, or process, and only after reasonable notice to the original disclosing party, where permitted by Applicable Law; (C) in order to initiate, defend, or otherwise pursue legal proceedings between or among the Partners regarding this Agreement; (D) with respect to any Confidential Information relating to the Partnership and its business, operation, or finances (“Partnership Confidential Information”), to any investor in such Partner or its Affiliate as part of disclosures to such investor in the ordinary course of such Partner’s or its Affiliate’s business; (E) to a Partner’s attorneys, accountants, or other representatives that have a need to know such Confidential Information and have agreed (or are required by applicable ethical standards) to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information; (F) with respect to Partnership Confidential Information, as necessary or appropriate for a Partner to comply with the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or (G) with respect to Partnership Confidential Information, by the General Partner to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the management or operation of the Partnership.

Except as provided in Section 9.03(g), upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
Section 12.07 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Certificate of Limited Partnership and all related Exhibits and Schedules, constitutes the sole and entire agreement between the General Partner or the Partnership and the Limited Partners with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.
Section 12.08 Successors and Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on Transfers set forth herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and permitted assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by any Partner except as permitted by this Agreement and any assignment in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void.
Section 12.09 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in ARTICLE IX, which shall be for the benefit of and enforceable by Covered Persons as described therein, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto (and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and permitted assigns) and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, including any creditor of the Partnership, any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
Section 12.10 Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing executed by each of the Partners. Any such written amendment or modification will be binding upon the Partnership and each Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amendments to the Partners Schedule may be made by the General Partner in accordance with Section 4.01(b).

Section 12.11 Waiver. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach, or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 12.11 shall diminish any of the explicit and implicit waivers described in this Agreement, including in Section 4.04(e) and Section 12.14.
Section 12.12 Governing Law. All issues and questions concerning the application, construction, validity, interpretation, and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.
Section 12.13 Submission to Jurisdiction. The parties hereby agree that any suit, action, or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall be brought in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware), so long as one of such courts shall have subject matter jurisdiction over such suit, action, or proceeding, and that any cause of action arising out of this Agreement shall be deemed to have arisen from a transaction of business in the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action, or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action, or proceeding that is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient form. Service of process, summons, notice, or other document by registered mail to the address set forth in Section 12.04 shall be effective service of process for any suit, action, or other proceeding brought in any such court.
Section 12.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that any controversy that may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
42 |
Section 12.15 Equitable Remedies. Each party hereto acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of such party’s obligations under this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm to the other parties, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such party of any such obligations, each of the other parties hereto shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to them in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).
Section 12.16 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise, except to the extent expressly provided in Section 9.02 to the contrary.
Section 12.17 Interpretation and Construction. Each party hereto acknowledges that (a) such party has reviewed this Agreement with independent counsel of such party’s selection and (b) any presumption or rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments hereto.
Section 12.18 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, email, or other means of Electronic Transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
Section 12.19 Spousal Consent. Each Partner who has a Spouse on the date of this Agreement shall cause such Partner’s Spouse to execute and deliver to the Partnership a spousal consent in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Spousal Consent”), pursuant to which the Spouse acknowledges that such Spouse has read and understood the Agreement and agrees to be bound by its terms and conditions. If any Partner should marry or engage in a Marital Relationship following the date of this Agreement, such Partner shall cause such Partner’s Spouse to execute and deliver to the Partnership a Spousal Consent within five (5) Business Days thereof.
Section 12.20 Legal Representation. The Partners agree that the law firm of Xxxxx Figa & Will, P.C., represents only the Company in connection with the preparation of this Agreement, and has not offered any other Partner or other person any advice regarding the advisability of entering into this Agreement. Each person executing this Agreement further acknowledges and agrees that such person: (a) has been advised to retain independent legal, tax, and accounting advice of their own choosing for purposes of representing their individual interests with respect to the subject matter hereof; (b) has been given reasonable time and opportunity to obtain such advice; and (c) has obtained such independent advice as they have deemed necessary and appropriate in the circumstances at his or her own expense without expecting the Partnership to reimburse such person for such fees or other expenses.
