The management of the Partnership shall be vested exclusively in the General Partner; provided that the General Partner may delegate to any other person (a “Delegee”) any or all of the General Partner’s power and authority in any or all aspects of the management of the Partnership and its business. The General Partner has delegated the Partnership’s investment management responsibilities to Clearday, as the investment manager of the Partnership (the “Investment Manager”). The Investment Manager is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as an investment adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). The Limited Partners may take no part in the management of the Partnership, and shall have no authority or right to act on behalf of the Partnership in connection with any matter. The officers of an Investment Manager may have such authority to act on behalf of the Partnership, to execute agreements, documents and instruments on behalf of the Partnership and take such other actions for the benefit of the Partnership as from time to time authorized by the General Partner.
(b) TCJA.
(i) The General Partner and the Partnership shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to manage the business of the Partnership so that at all times prior to the date the Interests are redeemed in accordance with Section 9.01 the Partnership shall qualify and continue to qualify as a “qualified opportunity fund”.
(ii) In accordance with such efforts, the General Partner may restrict the business and affairs of the Partnership so that it invests in Portfolio Companies that are, within the meaning of the TCJA, opportunity zone business stock or opportunity zone partnership interests issued by entities that qualify as a qualified opportunity zone business (within the meaning of the TCJA).
(iii) There can be no assurance that all of the initial capital contributions of the Limited Partners will be invested in a manner that will cause the Partnership to qualify and maintain its qualification as a qualified opportunity fund.
(iv) The efforts of the Partnership to qualify and continue to qualify as a “qualified opportunity fund” Clearday may cause the General Partner to acquire certain entities or Securities in an Affiliate of the Partnership. Under any such investment structure, the Partners and the Partnership will not have the benefit of such investments, including the net cash flow from such businesses.
(c) The Partnership expects to use all of the investment by the Limited Partners within the period time that is required for investment in qualified assets. In the event that the Partnership is not able to invest such net proceeds of the Capital Contributions, the Partnership will redeem the interests of the Limited Partners, first redeeming the Interests of Clearday and then the Interests of the other Limited Partners, pro rata on the basis of the Capital Contributions.
Section 2.02. Authority of the General Partner.
The General Partner shall have the power, on behalf and in the name of the Partnership, to carry out any and all of the purposes of the Partnership and to perform all acts and enter into and perform all contracts and other undertakings that it may deem necessary or advisable in connection therewith or incidental thereto, and to appoint one or more agents to accomplish the foregoing.

Section 2.04. Activity of the General Partner.
The General Partner, and its principals, managers, officers, directors, employees or persons acting in a similar capacity (collectively, “Affiliates”) shall devote such of their time as in their sole judgment is reasonably required for the conduct of the Partnership’s business. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to preclude the General Partner and/or its Affiliates, consistent with the foregoing and its fiduciary obligations to the Limited Partners and the Partnership, or any Delegee, from (i) acting as a director, officer or employee of any corporation, a trustee of any trust, an executor or administrator of any estate, a partner of any partnership, or an executive or administrative official of any other business entity whether or not in competition with the Partnership, (ii) participating in profits derived from the investments in or of any such corporation, trust, estate, partnership or other business entity or person, (iii) engaging directly or indirectly in any other business or entity in which the Partnership has a Securities position, subject to applicable law, (iv) directly or indirectly purchasing, selling and holding Securities or Assets for the account of any such other business or entity or for its own account, subject to applicable law, or (v) engaging in such other business activities which may generate consulting fees, advisory fees or finder fees for the raising of capital and other investment related services. No Limited Partner shall, by reason of being a Limited Partner in the Partnership, have any right to participate in any manner in any profits or income earned or derived by or accruing to the General Partner or Affiliates from the conduct of any activities other than the activities of the Partnership or from any transaction in Securities effected by the General Partner and/or Affiliates for any account other than that of the Partnership.
Section 2.05. Exculpation.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Act, neither the General Partner nor any of its affiliates, nor any of its or their respective principals, managers, members, partners, officers, directors, equity holders, agents or other applicable representatives (collectively, the “General Partner Parties”) shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise (including for any loss due to action or inaction of any person or entity retained by the Partnership) to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, or any of their respective affiliates, principals, managers, members, partners, officers, directors, equity holders, agents or other applicable representatives, assignees or transferees, or to third parties for any act or omission performed or omitted by them on behalf of the Partnership and in a manner believed in good faith by them to be within the scope of the authority granted to them by this Agreement except when such action or failure to act is found by a court of competent jurisdiction upon entry of a final judgment to have been the result of the General Partner’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance or non-performance of its duties to the Partnership. The General Partner Parties may consult with counsel and accountants in respect of the Partnership’s affairs and be fully protected and justified in any action or inaction that is taken in good faith and in accordance with the information, reports, statements, advice or opinion provided by such persons. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights that the Limited Partners may have under federal or state securities laws or under ERISA.
Section 2.06. Indemnification.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Act, the Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the General Partner Parties from and against any and all losses, damages, obligations, penalties, claims, actions, suits, judgments, settlements, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, as well as other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action or proceeding or any investigation, inquiries by governmental agencies or request for information from any regulator) and amounts paid in settlement of any claims (collectively “Damages”) suffered or sustained by any of the foregoing persons as a result of or in connection with any act performed by them under this Agreement or otherwise on behalf of the Partnership; provided, however, that such indemnity shall be payable only if such damages were not found by a court of competent jurisdiction upon entry of a final judgment to have been the result of the General Partner’s fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct in the performance or non-performance of its duties to the Partnership, and in the case of criminal proceedings, that the indemnified party or parties had no reasonable cause to believe was unlawful. The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, cause the Partnership to advance to any person or entity entitled to indemnification hereunder reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any action or proceeding or any investigation that arises out of such conduct, provided that all such advances will be promptly repaid if it is subsequently determined that the person or entity receiving such advance was no entitled to indemnification hereunder. No indemnification may be made and each indemnified party or parties shall reimburse the Partnership to the extent of any indemnification previously made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the indemnified party or parties shall have been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final, non-appealable judgment, to be liable for gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties to the Partnership or would not otherwise be entitled to be held harmless under Section 2.05 unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such action or suit was brought determines that in view of all the circumstances of the case, despite the adjudication of liability the indemnified party(ies) is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for those expenses that the court deems proper. Any indemnity under this Section 2.06(a) shall be paid from, and only to the extent of, the Partnership’s assets, and no Limited Partner shall have any personal liability on account thereof.
8 |
(b) All rights to indemnification permitted in this Agreement and payment of associated expenses shall not be affected by the termination and dissolution of the Partnership or the removal, resignation, withdrawal, insolvency, bankruptcy, termination or dissolution of the General Partner.
Section 2.07. Other Business Ventures.
The General Partner and its Affiliates and each of the Limited Partners and their respective Affiliates may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of every nature and description for their own account, independently or with others, whether or not such other enterprises shall be in competition with any activities of the Partnership. None of the Partnership, the Limited Partners or the General Partner shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement in and to such independent ventures or to the income or profits derived therefrom.
ARTICLE 3 CAPITAL ACCOUNTS OF LIMITED PARTNERS
Section 3.01. Limited Partners.
(a) The names, addresses and Capital Contributions of each of the Limited Partners shall be maintained by the General Partner with the records of the Partnership, and such record shall be confidential and not provided to any other Limited Partner unless otherwise determined by the General Partner.
(b) The Limited Partners in the Partnership shall be
(i) each person that has
(1) | executed and delivered the Subscription Documents for an investment in the Partnership; |
(2) | whose investment has been accepted by the General Partner; |
(3) | who has made a cash Capital Contribution to the Partnership; |
(4) | who has executed and delivered this Agreement as of First Closing Date or a Joinder Agreement as of the date of any other closing of an offering described in the Memorandum; and |

(d) Subsequent Closings.
(i) The General Partner may admit one or more persons in the Partnership as a Limited Partner that completes the Subscription Documents to the satisfaction of the General Partner, who makes a cash investment in the Company as a Capital Contribution for the purchase of such person’s Interests in connection with a closing (each a “Subsequent Closing”) of the offering of securities described in the Memorandum, and who executes and delivers a Joinder Agreement.
(ii) The Capital Contribution by a person that is admitted as a Limited Partner in a Subsequent Closing shall be used by the Partnership in the discretion of the General Partner for investments by the Partnership and shall not be used to distribute such funds to the then existing Limited Partners.
(iii) To the extent necessary, the General Partner shall cause the books and records of the Partnership to be amended to reflect as appropriate the issuance of additional Interests in the Partnership to a person in connection with a Subsequent Closing, as promptly as is practicable after such occurrence.
Section 3.02. Capital Contributions.
(a) Each Limited Partner shall make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership by way of cash equal to the amount set forth opposite such Limited Partner’s name in the Schedule, which amount shall, other than in the case of the Capital Contribution of Clearday, equal the amount that such Limited Partner agreed to contribute or invest in the Partnership in the offering described in the Memorandum. Except upon the prior consent of the General Partner, the minimum initial Capital Contribution for each Limited Partner shall be the amount set forth in the Memorandum.
9 |
(b) The terms of the offering of the Interests shall be consistent in all material respects as described in the Memorandum, unless otherwise described in this Agreement.
(c) The Capital Contribution of Clearday shall be an amount that is equal to the gross proceeds of the offering of the Preferred Units or such other amount as determined by Clearday from time to time to reflect additional investment in the Securities and Portfolio Companies of the Partnership.
(d) In determining the Capital Contribution of Clearday as of the date of the last closing of the offering described in the Memorandum, it is acknowledged that the aggregate gross proceeds of the offering of the Preferred Units shall be contributed to the Partnership and the Partnership shall pay the organizational and initial offering expenses as described in Section 3.05. Accordingly, the Ownership Percentage of Clearday as of the date of the last closing of the offering described in the Memorandum shall be equal to (i) the number of shares of the Preferred Stock that would have been issued by Clearday to the Limited Partners if the Limited Partners (other than Clearday) invested their Capital Contributions for investment in such shares of Preferred Stock; (ii) divided by the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock issued by Clearday in such offering.
(e) Clearday may make additional Capital Contributions and will make additional Capital Contributions in the amount equal to the net proceeds of the sale of assets by Parent and its other subsidiaries that are not used as investment or other financing of direct or indirect investments by Parent in assets or businesses that are consistent with the care and wellness investment strategy of Parent.
Section 3.03. Ownership Percentages.
An “Ownership Percentage” shall be determined for each Limited Partner for each Fiscal Quarter of the Partnership by dividing the amount of such Limited Partner’s Capital Account by the sum of the Capital Accounts of all of the Limited Partners for such Fiscal Quarter. The Ownership Percentages shall be set forth in a Schedule filed with the records of the Partnership within thirty (30) days after the commencement of each Fiscal Quarter of the Partnership, or such other period as reasonably determined by the General Partner.
Section 3.04. Withholding.
If the Company is required by applicable law to pay any tax that is specifically attributable to a Limited Partner (or to a Person having the tax status of a Limited Partner or the tax status of the direct or indirect shareholders, members, or other owners of such Limited Partner), including non-U.S., U.S. federal, commonwealth or state withholding taxes, commonwealth and/or state personal property taxes, and commonwealth and/or state unincorporated business taxes, then such Limited Partner shall indemnify and reimburse the Company for such tax (and any related interest and penalties). The Company may offset Distributions and other amounts which any Limited Partner is otherwise entitled to receive under this Agreement against a Limited Partner’s indemnification obligations under this Section and, to the extent offset, such amount shall be treated as distributed or otherwise paid to such Limited Partner for all purposes of this Agreement (other than as necessary to properly maintain Capital Accounts or to properly determine the allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses). A Limited Partner’s obligation to pay or indemnify for a tax (and related interest and penalties) under this provision shall survive the Limited Partner’s Transfer of its Units and the termination, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company. Any payment pursuant to this Section will not be treated as a capital contribution to the Company but will, to the extent necessary to properly maintain Capital Accounts, increase a Limited Partner’s Capital Account.
Section 3.05. Expenses.
(a) Organizational and Initial Offering Expenses.
(i) The Partnership shall pay organizational and initial offering expenses related to the offering of the Interests and the organizational and initial offering expenses of Clearday regarding its offering of the Preferred Units, in each case, on a pro rata basis, determined on the basis of the aggregate Capital Contributions by the Limited Partners, other than Clearday, and the gross proceeds to Clearday for the issuance of the Preferred Units. The organizational and initial offering expenses shall include the fees, disbursements and expenses and other amounts payable by Clearday or the Partnership in connection with the organization of Clearday, the General Partner, and the Partnership, solicitation of the investment in the Preferred Units or the Interests, the preparation of the Memorandum including amendments and supplements thereto, the filing fees and expenses, including for the filing of notice filings under state securities laws, the preparation of the definitive agreements and documents, including this Agreement, the certificate of incorporation of Clearday, the certificate of designation of Clearday for the preferred stock, the warrant to purchase shares of Parent common stock, the subscription documents for the offering of the Interests and/or the Preferred Units and other documents ancillary or related thereto, the preparation and filing of the Form D related to the offering of the Preferred Units and/or the Interests and amounts that have been advanced for offering expenses by Parent or its Affiliates in connection with any of the foregoing.
10 |
(ii) The General Partner may elect, in its sole discretion, to expense such costs as incurred or to amortize such organizational and initial offering expenses over a period of sixty (60) months from the commencement of operations of the Partnership. However, the amortization of these expenses over a period that is greater than 12 months is a divergence from with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
(iii) If the Partnership is terminated before its organizational and initial offering expenses are fully amortized, any unamortized expenses will be recognized. If a Limited Partner withdraws all or part of its Interest(s) before the Partnership’s organizational and initial offering expenses are fully amortized, the General Partner may, but is not required to, accelerate a proportionate share of the unamortized expenses based upon the amount being withdrawn and reduce proceeds for such withdrawal by the amount of such accelerated expenses.
(b) Operating Expenses. The Partnership will pay all of the operating expenses of the Partnership which shall include reimbursement to Clearday or its Affiliates of expenses incurred for the benefit of the Partnership.
ARTICLE 4 CAPITAL ACCOUNTS; ALLOCATIONS; DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 4.01. Capital Accounts.
There shall be established and maintained on the books of the Partnership a separate capital account for each Partner in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and with the definitions and methods of adjustment set forth in this Agreement (a “Capital Account”).
Section 4.02. Adjustments to Capital Accounts.
As of the close of business of the last day of each Fiscal Year, the balance in each Partner’s Capital Account shall be adjusted by: (a) increasing such balance by such Partner’s (i) allocable share of Net Profit (allocated in accordance with the this Article 4) and (ii) Capital Contributions, if any, and (b) decreasing such balance by (x) the amount of cash and the value of securities or other property (net of liability) distributed to such Partner during such Fiscal Year and (y) such Partner’s allocable share of Net Loss (allocated in accordance with this Article 4). Each Partner’s Capital Account shall be further adjusted with respect to any special allocations pursuant to this Article 4.
Section 4.03. Allocation of Net Profits and Net Losses.
Subject to any special allocations pursuant to Section 4.04 thereof, Net Profits and Net Loss for any Fiscal Year (or items thereof as necessary) shall be allocated among the Partners, to the extent possible first, so that no Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account and second, in such a manner as to cause the balance in the Capital Account of each Partner, as adjusted to reflect the allocations provided hereunder, to be equal to the aggregate amount of cash such Partner would receive if the Partnership were liquidated and each asset of the Partnership were sold for an amount of cash equal to its respective Gross Asset Value, all debt obligations were satisfied in accordance with their respective terms (limited with respect to each Partnership Nonrecourse Debt or Partner Nonrecourse Debt to the Gross Asset Value of the asset(s) securing such debt) and the remaining cash were distributed as provided in Section 4.07 of this Agreement.
Section 4.04. Special Allocations.
(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if there is a net decrease in the Partnership’s “partnership minimum gain” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(d)), items of income and gain shall be allocated to all Partners in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f); such allocations are intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2 and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4 to the contrary, if there is a net decrease in “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” attributable to a “partner nonrecourse debt” (as determined under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5) (“Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain”) during any Fiscal Year, each Partner who has a share of such Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in such Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
11 |
(c) Qualified Income Offset. No allocation may be made to a Partner to the extent such allocation causes or increases a deficit balance in such Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary except paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 4.04, in the event that a Partner unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) which results in such Partner having or increasing a negative adjusted Capital Account balance (as determined above), then such Partner shall be allocated items of income and gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, such negative balance in such Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account as quickly as possible. This provision is intended to satisfy the “qualified income offset” items of the Code.
(d) Risk of Loss Allocation. Any item of “partner nonrecourse deduction” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(2)) with respect to a “partner nonrecourse debt” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated to the Partner or Partners who bear the economic risk of loss for such Partner Nonrecourse Debt in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).
(e) Allocation of Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities. For the purpose of determining each Partner’s share of Partnership nonrecourse liabilities pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), and solely for such purpose, each Partner’s interest in Partnership profits is hereby specified to be equal to the ratio (stated as a percentage) of their respective Capital Contributions to the Partnership.
(f) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article 4 have been made.
(g) Section 704(c) Allocation. Solely for federal, state, and local income tax purposes and not for book or Capital Account purposes, depreciation, amortization, gain, or loss with respect to property that is properly reflected on the Partnership’s books at a value that differs from its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated in accordance with the principles and requirements of Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, and in accordance with the requirements of the relevant provisions of the Regulations issued under Code Section 704(b). The General Partner may use any method permitted pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3 for all allocations with respect to contributed property. For Capital Account purposes, depreciation, amortization, gain, or loss with respect to property that is properly reflected on the Partnership’s books at a value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be determined in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).
(h) Transfers During The Taxable Year. All items of income, gain, loss and deductions allocable pursuant to Article 4 hereof for a Fiscal Year with respect to any Interest which may have been transferred (if permitted pursuant to the terms hereof) during such year shall be allocable between the transferor and transferee using any reasonable method determined by the General Partner; provided, that in all events that the method utilized shall be permitted under the Code and the applicable regulations promulgated under the Code.
Section 4.05. Negative Capital Accounts.
Except as may be required by law, no Partner shall be required to reimburse the Partnership for any negative balance in such Partner’s Capital Account, provided that each such Partner shall remain fully liable to make contributions of capital to the extent of such Partner’s Capital Commitment.
Section 4.06. Tax Matters.
For U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, the income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Partnership shall, for each taxable period, be allocated among the Partners in the same manner and in the same proportion as such items have been allocated to the Partners’ Capital Accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall have the power to make such allocations as may be necessary to ensure that such allocations are in accordance with the interests of the Partners in the Partnership. The Partnership shall be operated in a manner consistent with that of a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes until such time as when the General Partner determines that the Partnership’s treatment as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not in the best interest of the Partnership or the Partners. The Partners agree to the tax treatment of the Partnership as provided herein and shall not take any action inconsistent with such treatment. All matters concerning allocations for U.S. federal, state and local and foreign income tax purposes, including accounting procedures, not expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement shall be equitably determined in good faith by the General Partner. At the written request of any Limited Partner, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to make the election under Section 754 of the Code.

The Partnership will be entitled to from time to time create appropriate Reserves, even if such reserves are not required by GAAP in amounts deemed necessary by the General Partner.
(c) Distributions shall be made pro rata in accordance with the Ownership Percentages of the Limited Partners. The General Partner shall not receive any distributions.
(d) No Limited Partner shall have the right to receive distributions in property other than cash.
Section 4.08. Withdrawals.
No Limited Partner shall be entitled to withdraw any amount from its Capital Account unless and to the extent required by the General Partner in accordance with Article 11.
Section 4.09. Limitation on Distributions.
No distribution under this Agreement shall be made in respect of any Interest to the extent that, after giving effect to the distribution, all liabilities of the Partnership, other than liabilities to the Limited Partners on account of their Interests, exceed the fair market value of the Partnership’s assets.
Section 4.10. Limited Partners not Creditors.
Except where a Limited Partner is a creditor of the Partnership, a Limited Partner does not have the status of, and is not entitled to the remedies available to a creditor of the Partnership with respect to distributions.
ARTICLE 5 CERTAIN TAX MATTERS RELATED TO DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 5.01. Tax Distributions.
(a) As of December 31 of each year, the General Partner shall determine the deemed tax liability of the Limited Partners (“Aggregate Annual Tax Liability”) for federal, state and local income taxes based on the net taxable income and gains allocated to the Limited Partners by the Partnership during such year, assuming a combined marginal tax rate that is payable by an individual taxpayer that is a resident of New York, New York or such local jurisdiction in the United States that is greater.
(i) On or prior to April 14 of each calendar year, the Partnership shall distribute an amount equal to the Aggregate Annual Tax Liability computed by the Partnership on the basis of its reasonable estimates of such amount as of December 31 of the prior calendar year, to the extent that such amount has not been previously distributed in such prior calendar year.
(ii) Notwithstanding the forgoing provisions of this Section 5.01(a), the distributions under this Section 5.01(a) shall be made only to the extent that the Partnership has available cash resources to make such distributions in accordance with the Act.
(iii) The General Partner shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain adequate reserves so that the distributions described in this Section 5.01(a) are made on a timely basis, which shall include incurring debt or other financing from third parties or Affiliates.
(b) The General Partner may withhold from any amount payable to any Limited Partner, any taxes required to be paid or withheld by the Partnership on behalf of or for the account of such Limited Partner as provided in Section 5.02. Any such taxes shall be deemed to be a distribution or payment to such Limited Partner.
(c) No distribution shall be made in respect of any Interest to the extent that, after giving effect to the distribution, all liabilities of the Partnership, other than liabilities to the Limited Partners on account of their Interests, exceed the fair market value of the Partnership’s assets.

(d) Subject to this Section 5.01, and except where a Limited Partner is a creditor of the Partnership, a Limited Partner does not have the status of, and is not entitled to the remedies available to a creditor of the Partnership with respect to distributions.
Section 5.02. Liability for Certain Taxes.
(a) In the event that the Partnership shall be required to make payments to any federal, state or local or any foreign taxing authority with respect to any Limited Partner’s allocable share of income, the amount of such taxes shall be considered a loan to such Limited Partner, and such Limited Partner shall be liable for, and shall pay, any taxes so required to be withheld and paid over by the Partnership within ten (10) days after the General Partner’s request therefor. Alternatively, the General Partner may deduct the amount of such taxes from such Limited Partner’s Capital Account and treat it as cash distributed to such Limited Partner in which case, the amount of distributions to such Limited Partner under Section 5.01 shall be reduced by such payment.
(b) The Partnership may withhold and pay over to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (or any other relevant taxing authority) such amounts as it is required to withhold or pay over, pursuant to the Code or any other applicable law, on account of a Limited Partner’s distributive share of the Partnership’s items of gross income, income or gain. Any taxes so withheld or paid over with respect to a Limited Partner’s allocable share of the Partnership’s gross income, income or gain shall be deemed to be a distribution or payment to such Limited Partner, reducing the amount otherwise distributable to such Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement and reducing the Capital Account of such Limited Partner. Each Limited Partner agrees to indemnify the Partnership and the applicable Series in full for any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to this 5.05(b) with respect to such Limited Partner (including, without limitation, any interest, penalties and expenses associated with such payments), and each Limited Partner shall promptly upon notification of an obligation to indemnify pursuant to this Section 5.02(b) make a cash payment to the Partnership, as requested, equal to the full amount to be indemnified with interest to accrue on any portion of such cash payment not paid in full when requested, calculated at a rate equal to 10% per annum, compounded as of the last day of each year (but not in excess of the highest rate per annum permitted by law). Each Limited Partner grants to the Partnership a security interest in such Limited Partner’s Interest to secure the Limited Partner’s obligation to pay the Partnership the amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section.
(c) The General Partner shall not be obligated to apply for or obtain a reduction of, or exemption from, withholding tax on behalf of any Limited Partner that may be eligible for such reduction or exemption. To the extent that a Limited Partner claims to be entitled to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, a withholding tax pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty, or otherwise, the Limited Partner shall furnish the General Partner with such information and forms as such Limited Partner may be required to complete where necessary to comply with any and all laws and regulations governing the obligations of withholding tax agents. Each Limited Partner represents and warrants that any such information and forms furnished by such Limited Partner shall be true and accurate and agrees to indemnify the Partnership and each of the Limited Partners from any and all damages, costs and expenses resulting from the filing of inaccurate or incomplete information or forms relating to such withholding taxes.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, both the Partnership and the General Partner shall be entitled to treat the Transferor as the absolute owner of such Interest(s) in all respects, and shall incur no liability for distributions made in good faith to it, until such time as the requirements of this Article 6 have been fulfilled.
Section 6.03. Substituted Limited Partners.
(a) No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a Transferee, donee, heir, legatee, distributee or other recipient of such Limited Partner’s Interest(s) as a Limited Partner in its place.

Any such consent by the General Partner may be evidenced by the execution by the General Partner of an amendment to this Agreement evidencing the admission of such person as a Substituted Limited Partner. The Limited Partners hereby consent and agree to such admission of a Substituted Limited Partner by the General Partner, and agree that the General Partner may, on behalf of each Limited Partner and on behalf of the Partnership, cause the Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership to be appropriately amended, and recorded as so amended, and the books and records of the Partnership to appropriately reflect such admission, in the event of such admission.

In such an event, or if any partner, employee, agent or Affiliate of the General Partner, is ever held to be a fiduciary of any Limited Partner, then, in accordance with Sections 405(b)(1), 405(c)(2) and 405(d) of ERISA, the fiduciary responsibilities of that Person shall be limited to the person’s duties in administering the business of the Partnership, and the Person shall not be responsible for any other duties to such Limited Partner, specifically including evaluating the initial or continued appropriateness of this investment in the Partnership under Section 404(a)(1) of ERISA.
