The Partnership, in the discretion of the General Partners, may advance to any Indemnified Person reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any action or proceeding which arises out of conduct which is the subject of the indemnification provided hereunder; provided, however, that (i) the General Partners hereby agree, and each other Indemnified Person shall agree as a condition to receiving any such advance, that in the event an Indemnified Person receives any advance, the Indemnified Person shall be required to reimburse the Partnership for the advance to the extent that it is judicially determined, in a final, non-appealable judgment or binding arbitration, that the Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 and (ii) neither the General Partners nor any other Indemnified Person shall be entitled to any advance of costs and expenses in any action (either direct or derivative) brought against such Indemnified Person by Limited Partners, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction issues a ruling (whether preliminary or final) substantially to the effect that the claim is one as to which it is likely that such Indemnified Person is entitled to the benefits of the exculpatory provisions set forth in Section 3.5(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.5(b), neither the General Partners nor any other Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification for, or be indemnified by the Partnership against, any claim in any action (either direct or derivative) brought against such Indemnified Person by any Limited Partner if it is established, by a final non-appealable judgment, that such claim was one as to which such Indemnified Person is not entitled to the benefits of the exculpatory provisions set forth in Section 3.5(a).

With respect to such Units, the General Partners are authorized to provide for the issuance of such Units in any class or series by adopting a Class B Common Unit Designation or a New Unit Designation or by amending this Agreement to reflect such issuance and to establish the number of Units to be included in each such series (which may be unlimited), and to fix the relative rights, obligations, preferences and limitations of the Units of each such series.

(e) Additional Units. The General Partners are authorized to increase or decrease the number of Units of any series or subseries of Units, prior or subsequent to the issue of that series or subseries, but not below the number of Units of such series or subseries then outstanding.

5.3 Unit Certificates. Unless the General Partners otherwise direct, Units will not be represented by certificates.

5.4 Issuance of Units. Subject to the limitations contained in Section 11.5 hereof and Section 6 of the Partners Agreement, the Partnership (with the approval of the General Partners) shall have the right to issue any authorized but unissued Units; provided that the Partnership shall not issue any Units to any Person unless such Person has executed and delivered to the secretary of the Partnership the documents described in Section 5.5 hereof. Upon the issuance of Units, the Partnership shall adjust the Capital Accounts of the Unitholders as necessary in accordance with Section 6.2. No portion of the Capital Account of a Partner shall be reallocated to a Person acquiring Units.

5.5 New Partners from the Issuance of Units. In order for a Person to be admitted as a Partner of the Partnership by reason of the issuance of Units to such Person by the Partnership, such Person shall have executed and delivered to the secretary of the Partnership a written undertaking to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Upon the amendment of the Partners Schedule by the secretary of the Partnership and the satisfaction of any other applicable conditions, including the receipt by the Partnership of payment for the issuance of the applicable Units, such Person shall be admitted as a Partner and deemed listed as such on the books and records of the Partnership.

5.6 Treatment of Repurchased Class B Common Units. Any Class B Common Unit that is repurchased by the Partnership or forfeited or cancelled pursuant to any Incentive Unit Purchase Agreement or otherwise shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose under this Agreement.

6.2 Capital Accounts

(a) Maintenance Rules. The Partnership shall maintain for each Unitholder a separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) in accordance with this Section 6.2(a). Each Capital Account shall be maintained in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) Such Capital Account shall be increased by the cash amount or Book Value of any property contributed by such Unitholder to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, such Unitholder's allocable share of Profits and any items in the nature of income or gains which are specially allocated to such Unitholder pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 below, and the amount of any liabilities of the Partnership assumed by such Unitholder or which are secured by any property distributed to such Unitholder.

(ii) Such Capital Account shall be decreased by the cash amount or Book Value of any property distributed to such Unitholder pursuant to this Agreement, such Unitholder's allocable share of Losses and any items in the nature of deductions or losses which are specially allocated to such Unitholder pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 below, and the amount of any liabilities of such Unitholder assumed by the Partnership or which are secured by any property contributed by such Unitholder to the Partnership.

(iv) If the Book Value of the Partnership assets is adjusted pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of “Book Value,” the Capital Accounts of the Unitholders shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f).

The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Section 1.704-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. If the General Partners determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any increases or decreases to the Capital Accounts, are computed in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, the General Partners may authorize such modifications.

(b) Definition of Profits and Losses. “Profits” and “Losses” mean, for each Taxable Year or other period, an amount equal to the Partnership's taxable income or loss, respectively, for such Taxable Year or other period, determined in accordance with Code Section 703(a) (for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Code Section 703(a)(1) shall be included in taxable income or loss), with the following adjustments:

(i) The computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall include tax-exempt income and those items described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), without regard to the fact that such items are not includible in gross income or are not deductible for federal income tax purposes.

(ii) If the Book Value of any Partnership property is adjusted pursuant to the definition of “Book Value” or Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or (f), the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such property (provided that if the Book Value of any Partnership property is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(5)(i), the allocation of gain or loss shall be made immediately prior to the related acquisition of the interest in the Partnership).

(iii) Items of income, gain, loss or deduction attributable to the disposition of Partnership property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Book Value of such property.

(iv) Items of depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions with respect to Partnership property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the property's Book Value in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).

(v) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership property pursuant to Code Sections 732(d), 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis).

- 24 -

(vi) All items of income, gain, loss or deduction which are specially allocated pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 shall not be taken into account in computing such taxable income or loss.

6.3 Negative Capital Accounts.

6.4 No Withdrawal. No Unitholder will be entitled to withdraw any part of his or its Capital Contribution or Capital Account or to receive any Distribution from the Partnership, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

6.5 Loans From Unitholders. Loans by Unitholders to the Partnership shall not be considered Capital Contributions.

6.6 Status of Capital Contributions.

(b) Except as otherwise provided by applicable law or in Section 10.3, no Unitholder shall be required to lend any funds to the Partnership or to make any additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership. No Unitholder shall have any personal liability for the repayment of any Capital Contribution of any other Unitholder.

ARTICLE VII

- 25 -

(a) First, to the holders of Series A Preferred Units, collectively, until the entire amount of the Unreturned Capital Value of all outstanding Series A Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution has been paid in full in cash. Amounts to be distributed to the holders of Series A Preferred Units pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.2(a) will be distributed among such holders in proportion to and to the extent of the Unreturned Capital Value in respect of the Series A Preferred Units owned by each such holder as of the time of the applicable Distribution. No Distribution or any portion thereof may be made pursuant to Section 7.2(b) through Section 7.2(f) until the entire amount of Unreturned Capital Value of all outstanding Series A Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution has been paid in full in cash.

(b) Second, to the holders of Series A Preferred Units, collectively, until the entire amount of Unpaid Yield on all outstanding Series A Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution has been paid in full in cash.

(d) Fourth, to the holders of Class A Common Units, collectively, until the entire amount of Unpaid Yield on all outstanding Class A Common Units as of the time of such Distribution has been paid in full to the holders of Class A Common Units. Amounts to be distributed to the holders of Class A Common Units pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.2(d) will be distributed among such holders in proportion to and to the extent of the Unpaid Yield on the Class A Common Units owned by each such holder as of the time of the applicable Distribution. No Distribution or any portion thereof may be made pursuant to Section 7.2(e) or Section 7.2(f) until the entire amount of the Unpaid Yield on all outstanding Class A Common Units as of the time of such Distribution has been paid in full to the holders of Class A Common Units.

(e) Fifth, subject to Section 7.3 below, to the holders of Class A Common Units and Class B Common Units (the “Common-Equivalent Units”) upon which less than the Catch-Up Amount has been paid, until an aggregate amount equal to the Catch-Up Amount has been paid with respect to each Common-Equivalent Unit (on a per-Unit basis). Distributions pursuant to this Section 7.2(e) will be first be made only to holders of those Common-Equivalent Units upon which the least amount of Distributions have theretofore been paid (on a per-Unit basis), until Distributions have been paid in respect of such Common Equivalent Units in an amount per Unit equal to the amount of Distributions per Unit paid on the Common-Equivalent Units which have theretofore been paid the second-least amount on a per-Unit basis. Distributions pursuant to this Section 7.2(e) will then be made only to the holders of such former Common-Equivalent Units and such latter Common-Equivalent Units until Distributions have been paid in respect of all such Common-Equivalent Units in an amount per Unit equal to the amount of Distributions per Unit theretofore paid on the Common-Equivalent Units which have theretofore been paid the third-least amount on a per-Unit basis, and so on until the same amount has been paid in respect of all Common-Equivalent Units on a per-Unit basis. Amounts to be distributed to holders of any particular Common-Equivalent Units as described in the second or third sentence of this Section 7.2(e) will be distributed pro rata among the holders of such Units on the basis of the respective quantities of such Units held by them.

(f) Sixth, subject to Section 7.3 below, to the holders of Common Units pro rata among such holders on the basis of the number of Common Units owned by each of them.

7.3 No Right to Receive Certain Distributions. Notwithstanding Section 7.2 above:

(a) If at the time any Distribution is made in respect of any Class B Common Unit pursuant to Section 7.2 above when such Class B Common Unit is an Unvested Class B Common Unit, then the amount of such Distribution (after giving effect to Section 7.3(b) below) shall be withheld from the holder of such Unvested Class B Common Unit until the earlier to occur of (i) the time at which such Unvested Class B Common Unit becomes a Vested Class B Common Unit, whereupon the amount so withheld shall be promptly paid by the Partnership to such holder without interest and (ii) the time at which such Unvested Class B Common Unit is no longer eligible for vesting, whereupon the amount so withheld shall be distributed to the other Partners pursuant to Section 7.2 above or retained by the Partnership and held or used for any purpose, as the General Partners may direct.

(b) Any holder of any Class B Common Unit will forego distributions that would otherwise be made in respect of such Class B Common Unit from time to time pursuant to Section 7.2 above (including by reason of Section 7.3(c) below) in such amount(s) as may be required so that the aggregate amount of Distributions foregone with respect to such Class B Common Unit by reason of this Section 7.3(b) is equal to the Non-Distribution Amount for such Class B Common Unit. No holder of any Class B Common Unit will later have the right to receive any Distribution which is foregone pursuant to this Section 7.3(b), except to the extent that any portion of such foregone Distribution may be reallocated to such holder in accordance with Section 7.3(c) below. Distributions foregone by a holder pursuant to this Section 7.3(b) will nonetheless be deemed to have been received by such holder for purposes of Section 7.2(e).

(c) All Distributions withheld in respect of Class B Common Units pursuant to Section 7.3(b) above will be reallocated and paid instead to the Unitholders in accordance with Section 7.2(e) or Section 7.2(f) above (subject again to being foregone pursuant to Section 7.3(b) above).

- 27 -

7.4 Tax Advances (a) Subject to the restrictions of any of the Partnership's and/or its Subsidiaries' then applicable debt financing agreements, the General Partners may cause the Partnership to distribute out of cash available for distribution (net of any reserves established by the General Partners in their sole discretion for future expenditures, liabilities and other purposes) to each Unitholder cash in proportion to and to the extent of such Unitholder's Quarterly Estimated Tax Amount for the applicable calendar quarter (including for prior quarters, to the extent such distributions have not previously been paid). Such distributions, if made, shall be made on or before each of April 12, June 12, September 12 and December 12 of the relevant quarter for estimated tax purposes. In addition to the foregoing, the Partnership shall (to the extent not prohibited by any agreement governing or made in favor of any holder of indebtedness of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries, and to the extent the Partnership’s Subsidiaries are permitted under such agreements to make distributions to enable the Partnership to do so) make a special tax distribution to the Grande Holdings Investor in an amount equal to the amount of the alternative minimum tax and state tax, if any, resulting from the transactions set forth in the Recapitalization Agreement, including the transfer of assets and liabilities to the Partnership, and regardless of when such alternative minimum tax or state tax liability may arise, to the extent such amount exceeds the aggregate amount of the distributions made pursuant to this Article VII made to the Grande Holdings Investor, and such distribution shall be made no later than 10 days after requested in writing by the Grande Holdings Investor. Any distributions described in this Section 7.4 will be made without regard for the relative priorities and amounts set forth in Section 7.2 above. Distributions made pursuant to this Section 7.4, shall be taken into account as advances on distributions made pursuant to Section 7.2 above, and shall (to the extent not previously taken into account pursuant to this sentence) reduce the Distributions to be made in respect of the related Units under Section 7.2 above, when and as paid by the Partnership. No Unitholder shall be liable to the Partnership for any amount distributed to it pursuant to this Section 7.4, or for any interest on such amount .

(b) Notwithstanding any provisions of Section 7.2 above, upon a Sale of the Partnership, the Partnership shall make special distributions to each holder of Class A Common Units issued on the date of this Agreement to Persons other than the Grande Holdings Investor equal to one-half of the amount of Tax Advances previously paid in respect of the Class A Common Units held by such holder (excluding, for this purpose, any Tax Advances that were made in respect of capital gain allocated to such Unitholders); provided that all amounts distributable pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) shall not exceed five million dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate. If, but for the proviso to the preceding sentence, the aggregate amount to be distributed pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) would exceed $5,000,000, then the aggregate amount to be distributed to such holders will be distributed among them pro rata, based on the amounts that would have been distributed to them pursuant to Section 7.4(b) but for such proviso.

7.5 Indemnification and Reimbursement for Payments on Behalf of a Unitholder. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if the Partnership is required by law (as determined by the Tax Matters Partner based on the advice of legal or tax counsel to the Partnership) to make any payment on behalf of a Unitholder in its capacity as such (including in respect of withholding taxes, personal property taxes, and unincorporated business taxes, etc.), then such Unitholder (the “Indemnifying Unitholder”) will indemnify the Partnership in full for the entire amount paid, including interest, penalties and expenses associated with such payment. At the option of the General Partners, either:

- 28 -

(a) promptly upon notification of an obligation to indemnify the Partnership, the Indemnifying Unitholder will make a cash payment to the Partnership in an amount equal to the full amount to be indemnified (and the amount paid will not be added to the Indemnifying Unitholder's Capital Account or otherwise deemed to be a Capital Contribution), or

(b) the Partnership will reduce the Distribution giving rise to such payment and/or any subsequent Distributions which would otherwise be made to the Indemnifying Unitholder until the Partnership has recovered the amount to be indemnified (and the amount of such reduction will be deemed to have been distributed for all purposes, and such deemed distribution will reduce the Indemnifying Unitholder's Capital Account).

A Unitholder's obligation to make contributions to the Partnership under this Section 7.5 will survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Partnership, and for purposes of this Section 7.5, the Partnership will be treated as continuing in existence. The Partnership may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Unitholder under this Section 7.5, including instituting a lawsuit to collect such contribution with interest calculated at a rate equal to the Partnership's and its Subsidiaries' effective cost of borrowed funds.

7.6 Non-Cash Distributions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Partnership shall not make any Distribution in the form of non-cash property with respect to (i) any Common Units unless all holders of Common Units entitled to receive such Distribution in accordance with Section 7.2 above receive the identical form of non-cash consideration or (ii) except in accordance with Section 10.2(c) below, any Preferred Units. For purposes of any such distribution, the General Partners will determine the Fair Market Value of any property to be distributed in accordance with any reasonable valuation procedure.

7.7 Redemption of Series A Preferred Units.

(a) Until such time as the Series A Preferred Units are deemed to be redeemed in accordance with Section 7.7(b) below, the Partnership shall, and the General Partners shall cause the Partnership to, declare and pay distributions, to the extent not prohibited by, or required to otherwise be applied by, any agreement governing or made in favor of any holder of indebtedness of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries, and to the extent the Partnership’s Subsidiaries are permitted under such agreements to make distributions to enable the Partnership to do so, (i) on not less than a quarterly basis out of the Non-Core Assets Excess Cash Flow and (ii) from time to time out of the net cash proceeds of any sale or similar disposition of any Non-Core Assets (net of any amount that the General Partners determine in good faith is appropriate for the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries to retain to enable it or them to satisfy indemnity obligations that have arisen or may arise and/or liabilities retained by any of them which are related to such Non-Core Assets or the disposition thereof).

(b) With respect to any Series A Preferred Unit, such Series A Preferred Unit shall cease to be issued and outstanding and shall be deemed to have been redeemed upon the payment in full in cash of each of (i) the Unreturned Capital Value of such Series A Preferred Unit and (ii) the Unpaid Yield on such Series A Preferred Unit as of the time the Unreturned Capital Value of such Series A Preferred Unit was paid in full in cash, whereupon (A) the holder of such Series A Preferred Unit shall cease to have any right or obligation hereunder with respect to such Series A Preferred Unit and (B) the Secretary of the Partnership shall amend the Partners Schedule to reflect the redemption in full of such Series A Preferred Unit.

- 29 -

7.8 Adjustment Amount Liability

(a) From time to time, the Grande Holdings Investor shall have the option, but not the obligation, to make payments to Grande Operating until the Unreimbursed Amount (as defined below) equals zero.

(b) At the time of a Sale of the Partnership, the portion of the proceeds of such Sale of the Partnership that would otherwise have been paid to the holders of the Class A Common Units issued to the Grande Holdings Investor on the date of this Agreement, whether under this Agreement 7.2 or the Partners Agreement, will be reduced by the Unreimbursed Amount.

(c) At any time, the “Unreimbursed Amount” means the excess of (i) the sum of the Adjustment Amount (or any portion thereof that has then been determined or invoiced or is otherwise payable or paid) and the Reimbursement Yield (as defined below) at such time over (ii) the aggregate amount theretofore paid to Grande Operating pursuant to Section 7.8(a).

(d) At any time, the “Reimbursement Yield” means the amount accruing on a daily basis from and after the date upon which the Adjustment Amount is determined and any related appeals are resolved, or, for amounts potentially within the Adjustment Amount that the Partnership or its Subsidiaries was required to pay prior to the date at which any related appeals are resolved, from the date of such payment until the date the Adjustment Amount is determined and any related appeals are resolved, at a rate per annum equal to the Financing Rate (as defined below), on the Unreimbursed Amount as in effect from time to time; provided that, for purposes of the determining the Reimbursement Yield, the Reimbursement Yield that accrues during any calendar quarter will be deemed to be added to the Unreimbursed Amount on the last day of such calendar quarter. For the avoidance of doubt, in calculating the Unreimbursed Amount at any time, the Reimbursement Yield will be computed through the date as of which the Unreimbursed Amount is being computed.

(e) The “Financing Rate” means the effective cost of funds (expressed as a rate per annum) to the Partnership and its Subsidiaries of any financing obtained by the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries, the proceeds of which are used to pay Liabilities arising out of the USAC Audit or the resolution thereof; provided that, if Grande Operating pays such amounts other than from the proceeds of any contemporaneous financing, then it will be deemed to have paid such amounts from proceeds from its highest-cost financing as of the date it paid such amounts.

7.9 Appeal of USAC Audit. The Partnership and its Subsidiaries will appeal any adverse audit finding resulting from the USAC Audit on the issues of additional USF Liability associated with SLC charges, reseller revenues, DSL revenues and private line/special circuits revenue. The Partnership and its Subsidiaries will appeal any such adverse finding to the FCC and to a court of competent jurisdiction to the extent the FCC sustains any such adverse finding. The Partnership and its Subsidiaries will pay the reasonable attorneys fees and expenses of Xxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxx LLP or such other firm(s) as the Grande Holdings Director may select from time to time and that is/are reasonably acceptable to the Partnership, up to an aggregate amount of $125,000, in order to exhaust all appeals of all adverse audit findings resulting from the USAC Audit. Such attorneys fees and expenses will be taken into account in determining the amount described in clause (d) of the definition of the term “Adjustment Amount.” To the extent that such fees and expenses exceed $125,000 in the aggregate and Grande Holdings pays those fees and expenses directly to the appropriate firm(s) on a timely basis, the Partnership and its Subsidiaries will continue to pursue such appeals using Xxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxx LLP or such other firm(s) as the Grande Holdings Director may select from time to time and that is/are reasonably acceptable to the Partnership. The Grande Holdings Director may waive compliance with any provision of this Section 7.9.

- 30 -

7.10 Unknown Adjustment Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Recapitalization Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (as that term is defined in the Recapitalization Agreement), upon an Approved Sale or sale pursuant to Section 3(a) of the Partners Agreement, if the Adjustment Amount has not been finally determined and any related appeal has not been resolved by the time of such sale and the acquiror in such sale requires Grande Operating or any of its Affiliates or direct or indirect equityholders to indemnify such acquiror and/or Grande Operating for any Liability in connection with the USAC Audit, the Grande Holdings Investor hereby agrees to provide such indemnification in an amount not to exceed the Grande Holdings Investor’s net cash proceeds in connection with such sale, and agrees that a portion of such proceeds in an amount sufficient to satisfy such indemnification obligation may be placed in escrow to serve as a source for payment of such indemnification obligation.

ARTICLE VIII

Allocations

8.1 Regular Allocations. (a) Generally. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.2 below, Net Profits and Net Losses (if any) for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Partners in such a manner that, as of the end of such Fiscal Year, the sum of (i) the Capital Account of each Partner, (ii) such Partner's share of Minimum Gain (as determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g)) and (iii) such Partner's partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(3)) shall be equal to the respective net amounts, positive or negative, which would be distributed to such Partner or for which such Partner would be liable to the Partnership under RULPA, determined as if the Partnership were to (x) liquidate the assets of the Partnership for an amount equal to their Book Value and (y) distribute the proceeds of liquidation pursuant to Section 10.2 below; provided that clauses (x) and (y) above only apply to this Section 8.1.

(b) Allocation for Net Profit Year. For purposes of this Section 8.1, subject to Section 8.1(d) below, if the Partnership has Profits for a Fiscal Year or other period, then (i) items of deduction and loss will first be allocated to Partners whose Capital Accounts are to be reduced as a result of the allocations under Section 8.1(a) above, in amounts equal to the respective amounts by which such Capital Accounts are to be so reduced, and (ii) profits, net of any allocations under clause (i), will be allocated to Partners whose Capital Accounts are to be increased as a result of the allocations under Section 8.1(a) above, in the proportion that the amounts of the increases to be so effected in such Partners' respective Capital Accounts bears to the aggregate amount of the increase to be effected in all such Partners' Capital Accounts as a result of the allocations under Section 8.1(a) above.

- 31 -

(c) Allocation for Net Loss Year. For purposes of this Section 8.1, subject to Section 8.1(d), if the Partnership has Losses for a Fiscal Year or other period, then (i) items of income and gain will first be allocated to Partners whose Capital Accounts are to be increased as a result of the allocations under Section 8.1(a), in amounts equal to the respective amounts by which such Capital Accounts are to be so increased, and (ii) losses, net of any allocations under clause (i), will be allocated to Partners whose Capital Accounts are to be reduced as a result of the allocations under Section 8.1(a), in the proportion that the amounts of the reductions to be effected in such Partners' respective Capital Accounts bears to the aggregate amount of the reduction to be so effected in all such Partners' Capital Accounts as a result of the allocations under Section 8.1(a) above.

(d) Negative Capital Account Balances. If all items of profit for a Fiscal Year or other period have been allocated in accordance with Section 8.1(a) and there remain items of loss to be allocated, then such items of loss will be allocated to the Partners pro rata according to the number of Units held by each of them. If, prior to making any allocation of items of profit or loss for any Fiscal Year or other period, any Partner has a negative Capital Account balance, then items of profit will be allocated to all such Partners, pro rata according to the amounts by which their respective Capital Account balances are less then zero, until no Partner has a negative Capital Account balance.

(e) General. The Unitholders intend that allocations hereunder affecting Capital Accounts shall be made such that liquidation distributions made under Section 10.2(b)(iii) below shall be the same as if made in accordance with positive Capital Account balances.

8.2 Regulatory and Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.1:

(a) If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain (determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(d)(1)) during any Taxable Year, each Unitholder shall be specially allocated profits for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to such Unitholder's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2).

Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Unitholder Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Unitholder that has a share of such Unitholder Minimum Gain shall be specially allocated profits for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to that Unitholder's share of the net decrease in Unitholder Minimum Gain. Items to be allocated pursuant to this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This paragraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) In the event any Unitholder unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), profits shall be specially allocated to such Unitholder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. This paragraph is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) The allocations set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article VIII (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Profits and Losses among Unitholders so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Profits and Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Unitholder shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Unitholder if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

8.3 Curative Allocations. If the Tax Matters Partner determines, after consultation with counsel experienced in income tax matters, that the allocation of any item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit is not specified in this Article VIII (an “unallocated item”), or that the allocation of any item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit hereunder is clearly inconsistent with the Unitholders' economic interests in the Partnership (determined by reference to the general principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b) and the factors set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(3)(ii)) (a “misallocated item”), then the General Partners may allocate such unallocated items, or reallocate such misallocated items, to reflect such economic interests; provided that no such allocation will be made without the prior consent of each Unitholder that would be affected thereby (which consent no such Unitholder may unreasonably withhold) and provided further that no such allocation shall have any material effect on the amounts distributable to any Unitholder, including the amounts to be distributed upon the complete liquidation of the Partnership.

8.4 Tax Allocations.

(a) All income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Partnership shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Unitholders in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and credits among the Unitholders for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation for tax purposes is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, the Partnership's subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and credits shall be allocated among the Unitholders for tax purposes, to the extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law, so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.

- 33 -

(b) Items of Partnership taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Unitholders in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the remedial method of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(d), or such other method elected by the Tax Matters Partner and approved by Grande Holdings Investor, so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value.

(c) If the Book Value of any Partnership property is adjusted pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of “Book Value,” subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such property shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c).

(d) Allocations of tax credit, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Unitholders according to their interests in such items as determined by the General Partners taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

(e) Allocations pursuant to this Section 8.4 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Unitholder's Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, distributions or other items pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

Elections and Reports

9.1 Generally. The Partnership will keep appropriate books and records with respect to the Partnership's business, including all books and records necessary to provide any information, lists and copies of documents required to be provided pursuant to Section 9.3 or pursuant to applicable laws. The Unitholders (subject to reasonable confidentiality requirements that the General Partners may impose) shall have such right to request and receive such information concerning the Partnership and its affairs as the Partnership is required by RULPA to provide.

9.2 Reports. The Partnership will use reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered, by March 1 (and, in any event, will deliver not later than May 31) of each year, to each Person who was a Unitholder at any time during the previous Taxable Year, all information necessary for the preparation of such Person's United States federal income tax returns and any state, local and foreign income tax returns which such Person is required to file as a result of the Partnership being engaged in a trade or business within such state, local or foreign jurisdiction, including a statement showing such Person's share of income, gains, losses, deductions and credits for such year for United States federal income tax purposes (and, if applicable, state, local or foreign income tax purposes) and the amount of any distributions made to or for the account of such Person. Upon the written request of any such Person, the Partnership will use reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered any additional information necessary for the preparation of any state, local and foreign income tax returns which must be filed by such Person.

- 34 -

9.3 Tax Elections. The Tax Matters Partner will determine whether to make or revoke any available election pursuant to the Code. Each Unitholder will upon request supply the information necessary to give proper effect to any such election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Unitholders intend that the Partnership be treated as a partnership for federal, state and local income tax purposes, and the Partnership and each Unitholder shall file all tax returns on the basis consistent therewith.

9.4 Tax Controversies. ABRY VI is designated the “Tax Matters Partner” (as defined in Code Section 6231) for the Partnership, and is authorized to represent the Partnership (at the Partnership's expense) in connection with all examinations of the Partnership's affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Partnership funds for professional services and costs associated therewith; provided that the Tax Matters Partner may be replaced by action of the General Partners. Each Unitholder agrees to cooperate with the Tax Matters Partner and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably requested by the Tax Matters Partner with respect to the conduct of such proceedings. Subject to the foregoing proviso, the Tax Matters Partner will have sole discretion to determine whether the Partnership (either in its own behalf or on behalf of the Unitholders) will contest or continue to contest any tax deficiencies assessed or proposed to be assessed by any taxing authority. Any deficiency for taxes imposed on any Unitholder (including penalties, additions to tax or interest imposed with respect to such taxes) will be paid by such Unitholder, and if required to be paid (and actually paid) by the Partnership, will be recoverable from such Unitholder as provided in Section 7.5 hereof. The Partnership shall reimburse the Tax Matters Partner for any and all reasonable expenses (including legal and accounting fees) incurred by the Tax Matters Partner in connection with the fulfillment of its duties under this Section 9.4. This provision is not intended to authorize the Tax Matters Partner to take any action left to the determination of a partner under Sections 6222 through 6231 of the Code.

9.5 Combined Reporting for Texas Franchise Tax Purposes.

(a) General Partner’s Authority to File Combined Report. If, for any tax period, the Partnership (1) is part of a combined group for Texas franchise tax purposes (the “Combined Group”), and (2) is required or permitted to join in the filing of a combined report for Texas franchise tax purposes for such period, the General Partner is authorized to file on behalf of the Partnership any consents, elections, and other documents and take such other action as may be necessary or appropriate to file such a combined report. (For purposes of this Section 9.5, any period for which the Partnership is included in a combined report for Texas franchise tax purposes is hereinafter referred to as a “Combined Report Year”.)

(b) Liability to Other Combined Group Members for Partnership Combined Report Years. If the Partnership is included in a Combined Group for a Combined Report Year, the Partnership shall be responsible for paying and shall indemnify any other members of the Combined Group (other than the Partnership’s Subsidiaries) for any Texas franchise taxes for which the Partnership would have been liable for that year, computed as though the Partnership had filed a separate franchise tax return for such Partnership Combined Report Year (such amount, the “Separate Return Tax”). To the extent another member of the Combined Group (other than the Partnership’s Subsidiaries) pays the Partnership’s Separate Return Tax for any Combined Report Year (such member, the “Paying Member”), the General Partner is authorized to cause the Partnership to reimburse such paying member for such tax.

- 35 -

(c) Interim Estimated Payments. If the Combined Group is required to make estimated franchise tax payments during a Combined Report Year, the Partnership shall reimburse the Paying Member, if any, for the portion of the estimated tax payments that are attributable to the inclusion of the Partnership in the Combined Group (calculated in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 9.5(b). Any such reimbursed amounts so paid in any year shall operate to reduce the Separate Return Tax obligation of the Partnership pursuant to Section 9.5(b). The Partnership shall request a refund from the Paying Member in the event the total estimated tax payments for a Combined Report Year exceed the Separate Return Tax for such year.

(d) Tax Adjustments. In the event of any adjustment to the tax returns of the members of the Combined Group as filed (by reason of an amended return, claim for refund, or an audit by the Office of the Texas Comptroller (the “Comptroller”)), the liability of the members of the Combined Group under Section 9.5(b) shall be redetermined to give effect to any such adjustment as if it has been made as part of the original computation of tax liability, and members of the Combined Group shall satisfy any underpayments or overpayments within the Combined Group within 30 days after any deficiency payments are made to the Comptroller or refunds are received from the Comptroller, or, in the case of contested proceedings, within 30 days after a final determination of the contest.

(e) Partnership Subsidiaries. All Subsidiaries of the Partnership shall be subject to this Section 9.5. If at any time the Partnership acquires or creates one or more taxable entities that are includable as members of the Combined Group, they shall be subject to this Section 9.5 and all references to the Partnership herein shall thereafter be interpreted to refer to the Partnership and such subsidiaries as a group.

(f) Intent and Interpretation. The intent of this Section 9.5 is that the Partnership should make the Paying Member whole, without more, by reimbursing the Paying Member only to the extent of the Partnership’s Separate Return Tax. Any ambiguity in the interpretation hereof shall be resolved, with a view to effectuating such intent, in favor of the Paying Member.

(g) Prohibitions on Payment. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.5, neither the Partnership nor any Subsidiary will be required to make any payment pursuant to this Section 9.5 at a time when any agreement made in favor of any holder of indebtedness of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries prohibits it from making such payment or prohibits its Subsidiaries from making Distributions to the Partnership to enable it to make such payment.

- 36 -

ARTICLE X

Dissolution and Liquidation

10.1 Dissolution. The Partnership shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up only upon the happening of any of the following events:

(a) The sale or other disposition by the Partnership of all or substantially all of the assets it then owns;

(b) Upon the election to dissolve the Partnership by action of the General Partners; or

(c) The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Sec. 18-802 of RULPA; provided that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Partner shall make an application for the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Sec. 18-802 of RULPA without the approval of the General Partners.

Dissolution of the Partnership shall be effective on the day on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Partnership shall not terminate until the winding up of the Partnership has been completed, the assets of the Partnership have been distributed as provided in Section 10.2 and the Certificate shall have been canceled.

10.2 Liquidation.

(a) Liquidator. Upon dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partners will appoint a Person to act as the “Liquidator,” and such Person shall act as the Liquidator unless and until a successor Liquidator is appointed as provided in this Section 10.2. The Liquidator may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by notice of removal and appointment of a successor Liquidator approved by the General Partners. Any successor Liquidator will succeed to all rights, powers and duties of the former Liquidator. The right to appoint a successor or substitute Liquidator in the manner provided in this Section 10.2 will be recurring and continuing for so long as the functions and services of the Liquidator are authorized to continue under the provisions of this Agreement, and every reference in this Agreement to the Liquidator will be deemed to refer also to any such successor or substitute Liquidator appointed in the manner provided in this Section 10.2. The Liquidator will receive as compensation for its services as follows: (1) no additional compensation, if the Liquidator is an employee of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries, or (2) if the Liquidator is not such an employee, such compensation as the General Partners may approve, plus, in either case, reimbursement of the Liquidator's out-of-pocket expenses in performing its duties.

(b) Liquidating Actions. The Liquidator will liquidate the assets of the Partnership and apply 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 the Partnership's debts and obligations to its creditors (including any Unitholders who are creditors), including sales commissions and other expenses incident to any sale of the assets of the Partnership, in order of the priority provided by law.

- 37 -

(ii) Second, to the establishment of and additions to such reserves as the General Partners deem reasonably necessary or appropriate.

(iii) Third, to the Unitholders, in accordance with Section 7.2 hereof.

The reserves established pursuant to clause (ii) above will be deposited by the Liquidator with a bank or other financial institution, to be used for the purpose of paying any such contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations and, at the expiration of such period as the General Partners deem advisable, such reserves will be distributed to the Unitholders in accordance with Section 7.2 hereof. The allocations and distributions provided for in this Agreement are intended to result in the Capital Account of each Unitholder immediately prior to the distribution of the Partnership's assets pursuant to this Section 10.2(b) being equal to the amount distributable to such Unitholder pursuant to this Section 10.2(b). The Partnership is authorized to make appropriate adjustments in the allocation of Profits and Losses as necessary to cause the amount of each Unitholder's Capital Account immediately prior to the distribution of the Partnership's assets pursuant to this Section 10.2(b) to equal the amount distributable to such Unitholder pursuant to this Section 10.2(b).

(c) Distribution in Kind. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.2(b) which require the liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth in Section 10.2(b) above, if upon dissolution of the Partnership the General Partners determine that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership's assets would be impractical or could cause undue loss to the Unitholders, the General Partners may, in their sole discretion, defer the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy Partnership liabilities and reserves, and may, in its absolute discretion, distribute to the Unitholders, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common or otherwise, as the General Partners may elect, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2(b) above, such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation or undivided interests therein. Any such distribution in kind will 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, the General Partners will determine the Fair Market Value of any property to be distributed in accordance with any reasonable valuation procedure.

(d) Reasonable Time for Winding Up. A reasonable time will be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Partnership and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 10.2(b) above in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up. Distributions upon liquidation of the Partnership (or any Unitholder's interest in the Partnership) and related adjustments will be made by the end of the Taxable Year of the liquidation (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of such liquidation) or as otherwise permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b).

(e) Termination. Upon completion of the distribution of the assets of the Partnership as provided in Section 10.2(b) or 10.2(c) hereof, the Partnership shall be terminated and the Liquidator shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate in the State of Delaware and of all qualifications and registrations of the Partnership as a foreign limited liability company in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership.

- 38 -

10.3 Return of Distributions.

(a) Prior to or following the dissolution of the Partnership, if the Partnership (or a General Partner, on its behalf) is required to pay any Liability at a time when the Partnership does not have access to sufficient funds to satisfy such Liability and any General Partner is required by law to provide funds to satisfy such Liabilities, the General Partners may recall Distributions previously made or deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 7.2 pro rata from the Partners based on (but only to the extent of) such Distributions previously made to them and not recalled pursuant to this Section 10.3, in an aggregate amount up to the amount of such Liability. Any such recalled amounts shall be funded by the Partners within 10 days after the date of any written request therefor by the General Partners. In no event shall any Partner be required to contribute amounts pursuant to this Section 10.3 that in the aggregate exceed aggregate amount of Distributions previously made or deemed to have made to such Partner pursuant to Section 7.2 net of any amounts previously returned by such Partner to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 10.3.

(b) For purposes of this Section 10.3, “Liability” means any liability or obligation that the Partnership would be required by this Agreement or otherwise to pay if it had adequate funds, including (i) the expenses of investigating, defending or handling any pending or threatened litigation or claim arising out of the Partnership’s activities, investments or business, (ii) the amount of any judgment or settlement arising out of such litigation or claim, and (iii) the Partnership’s obligation to indemnify any Partner or other Person pursuant to Section 3.5 or otherwise.

(c) Any amounts contributed by a Partner pursuant to Section 10.3(a) shall be credited to such Partner’s Capital Account but shall not constitute a Capital Contribution hereunder. For purposes of Sections 7.2 and 10.2, without duplication, such contributions by a Partner shall be treated as reductions of the applicable distribution amounts received by such Partner. Any debit pursuant to Section 6.1 on account of a Liability shall be allocated to the Partners’ Capital Accounts after crediting the contributions required by this Section 10.3 to the Partners’ Capital Accounts.

(d) A Partner’s obligation to make contributions to the Partnership under this Section 10.3 shall survive the dissolution, liquidation, winding up and termination of the Partnership, subject to any limitations on survival expressed elsewhere in this Section 10.3, and for purposes of this Section 10.3, the Partnership may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Partner under this Section 10.3, including instituting a lawsuit to collect any contribution with interest from the date such contribution was required to be paid under this Section 10.3 calculated at ten percent (10%) per annum (but not in excess of the highest rate per annum permitted by applicable law).

(e) The rights and remedies contained in this Section 10.3 shall be exercisable only by the General Partners for the benefit of the Partnership and the General Partners, and nothing in this Section 10.3 is intended to or shall provide any Person that is not a party hereto with any rights or remedies with respect to or under this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI

Transfer of Units

11.1 Restrictions. Each Partner acknowledges and agrees that such Partner shall not Transfer any Unit except in accordance with the provisions of this Article XI and, if applicable, the Partners Agreement. Any attempted Transfer in violation of the preceding sentence shall be deemed null and void for all purposes, and the Partnership will not record any such Transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee as the owner of such Unit or Option for any purpose.

11.2 General Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no transferee of any Unit received pursuant to a Transfer (but excluding transferees that were Partners immediately prior to such a Transfer, who shall automatically become a Partner with respect to any additional Units they so acquire) shall become a Partner in respect of or be deemed to have any ownership rights in the Unit so Transferred unless the purported transferee is admitted as a Partner as set forth in Section 11.3(a) below.

(b) Following a Transfer of any Unit that is permitted under this Article XI and the Partners Agreement, the transferee of such Unit shall succeed to the Capital Account associated with such Unit and shall receive allocations and distributions under Articles VI, VII, VIII and X hereof in respect of such Unit(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Profits, Losses and other items will be allocated between the transferor and the transferee according to Code Section 706.

(c) Any Partner who Transfers all of his, her or its Units in accordance with this Agreement and, if applicable, the Partners Agreement (i) shall cease to be a Partner upon such Transfer, and (ii) shall no longer possess or have the power to exercise any rights or powers of a Partner of the Partnership.

11.3 Procedures for Transfer. Subject in all events to the general restrictions on Transfers contained in Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.5 hereof and any applicable restrictions in the Partners Agreement, a Partner may Transfer all or any part of his or its Units in accordance with this Section 11.3.

(a) No transferee of any Unit may be admitted as a Partner of the Partnership until such time as such transferee has executed and delivered to the Secretary of the Partnership a written undertaken to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Upon the amendment of the Partners Schedule by the Secretary of the Partnership and the satisfaction of any other applicable conditions set forth in Section 11.3(b) below, such prospective transferee shall be admitted as a Partner and deemed listed as such on the books and records of the Partnership and thereupon the Partnership shall reissue the applicable Units in the name of such prospective transferee. The provisions of this Section 11.3(a) shall not apply with respect to the Transfer of any Unit to a transferee that is a Partner immediately prior to such Transfer.

- 40 -

(b) Unless waived by the Partnership, no Partner may Transfer any Restricted Securities (except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act) without first delivering to the Partnership an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Partnership (which counsel will be reasonably acceptable to the Partnership) that registration under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such Transfer. If such opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Partnership further states that no subsequent Transfer of such Restricted Securities will require registration under the Securities Act, the Partnership will promptly upon such Transfer deliver new certificates, to the extent Units are certificated, for such securities which do not bear the Securities Act legend set forth in Section 11.4(b) below. The General Partners may waive this requirement of this Section 11.3(b) to obtain a legal opinion.

11.4 Legend.

(a) The certificates, if any, representing the Units will bear the following legend:

“THE TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF THE ISSUER (THE “COMPANY”), AS IN EFFECT FROM TIME TO TIME. A COPY OF SUCH LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT AS IN EFFECT FROM TIME TO TIME SHALL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO A PARTNERS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF DATE HEREOF, AMONG THE PARTNERSHIP AND CERTAIN OF THE PARTNERSHIP'S PARTNERS, AS IN EFFECT FROM TIME TO TIME. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AS IN EFFECT FROM TIME TO TIME SHALL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

(b) Each certificate or instrument, if any, evidencing Restricted Securities and each certificate or instrument issued in exchange for or upon the Transfer of any Restricted Securities (if such securities remain Restricted Securities after such Transfer) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER.”

- 41 -

Upon the request of any holder of Restricted Securities, the Partnership shall remove the Securities Act legend set forth above from the certificates for such Restricted Securities if such Restricted Securities are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1) (or any similar rule or rules then in effect) under the Securities Act.

11.5 Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Unit or Option may be Transferred or issued by the Partnership if such Transfer or issuance would require the Partnership to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended from time to time.

(b) In order to permit the Partnership to qualify for the benefit of a “safe harbor” under Code Section 7704, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Transfer of any Unit shall be permitted or recognized by the Partnership (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(d)) and the Partnership shall not issue any Units if and to the extent that such Transfer or issuance would cause the Partnership to have more than 100 partners (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h), including the look-through rule in Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Unit or Option may be Transferred and the Partnership may not issue any Unit or Option unless (i) such Transfer or issuance, as the case may be, shall not affect the Partnership's existence or qualification as a limited liability company under RULPA, (ii) such Transfer or issuance, as the case may be, shall not cause the Partnership to be classified as other than a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes, (iii) such Transfer or issuance, as the case may be, shall not result in a termination of the Partnership under Code Section 708, unless the General Partners determine that any such termination will not have a material adverse impact on the Partners and (iv) such Transfer or issuance, as the case may be, shall not cause the application of the tax-exempt use property rules of Code Sections 168(g)(l)(B) and 168(h) to the Partnership or its Partners.
