(ii) With respect to items of Partnership profit and loss, the balances of all the Partners’ Capital Accounts shall be adjusted solely for allocations of such items, as computed for book purposes, under Section 3.1 of Exhibit B hereto and shall not be adjusted for allocations of correlative Tax Items under Section 3.2 of Exhibit B hereto;

10. MEETINGS AND MEANS OF VOTING

10.1 Meetings of the Partners.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or required by the express provisions of the Act (without regard to future amendment), the requisite vote of the Partners shall be the Approval of the Partners which shall control all decisions for which the vote of the Partners is required hereunder. Each Partner’s voting rights shall be the same as that Partner’s Sharing Percentage at the time of the vote. The presence of any Partner at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting with respect to such Partner. The Partners may, at their election, participate in any regular or special meeting by means of conference

telephone or similar communications equipment means of which all Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. A Partner’s participation in a meeting pursuant to the preceding sentence shall constitute presence in person at such meeting for all purposes of this Agreement.

If the transfer record is not closed and if no record date is fixed for determining the Partners entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Partners or by consent, the date on which the notice of the meeting is mailed or the first written consent is received by the General Partner shall be the record date for such determination.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Article 11, a Limited Partner may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or hypothecate all or any part of its interest in the Partnership without the prior consent of the General Partner. The General Partner in its sole discretion may withhold its consent to any transfer for which such consent is required with or without reasonable cause.

(a) The sale, transfer or assignment is with respect to one (1) or more Units;

(b) The sale, transfer or assignment, when aggregated with any prior sales, transfers or assignments of Partnership interests, does not result in a sale or exchange within a twelve (12) month period of fifty percent (50%) or more of the total interests in the Partnership’s capital and profits within the meaning of Code Section 708(b);

(c) The Limited Partner and its transferee execute, acknowledge and deliver to the General Partner such instruments of transfer and assignment with respect to such transaction as are in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner;

Any Limited Partner who thereafter sells, assigns or otherwise transfers all or any portion of his interest in the Partnership shall promptly notify the General Partner of such transfer and shall furnish to the General Partner the name and address of the transferee and such other information as may be required under Section 6050K of the Code and the Regulations thereunder.

11.3 Substituted Limited Partner. No Person taking or acquiring, by whatever means the interest of any Limited Partner in the Partnership, except as provided in Section 11.2 hereof, shall be admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner without the consent of the General Partner (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld) and unless such Person:

(a) Elects to become a Substituted Limited Partner by delivering notice of such election to the Partnership;

11.5 Admission of Additional Limited Partners. The General Partner may issue limited partnership interests in the Partnership to raise capital for the Partnership or for such other purposes as may be determined appropriate to the General Partner, and may admit the purchasers of such limited partnership interests to the Partnership as Additional Limited Partners, which issuance shall comply with applicable securities laws. The General Partner will not permit any Person to become an Additional Limited Partner unless such Person certifies in writing to the General Partner that the Person agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. The General Partner shall do all things necessary to comply with the Act and is authorized to do all things it deems to be necessary or advisable in connection with the Partnership for admitting any Additional Limited Partner, including, but not limited to, complying with any statute, rule, regulation or guideline issued by any federal, state or other governmental agency.

11.6 Transfer Procedures. The General Partner shall establish a transfer procedure consistent with this Article 11 to ensure that all conditions precedent to the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner or Additional Limited Partner have been complied with, and the General Partner shall execute a certificate that such covenant has been complied with and shall, upon the written request of any Limited Partner, deliver to such Limited Partner a copy thereof.

11.7 Invalid Transfer. No transfer of an interest in the Partnership that is in violation of this Article 11 shall be valid or effective, and the Partnership shall not recognize any improper transfer for the purposes of making allocations, payments of profits, return of capital contributions or other distributions with respect to such Partnership interest, or part thereof. The Partnership may enforce the provisions of this Article 11 either directly or indirectly or through its agents by entering an appropriate stop transfer order on its books or otherwise refusing to register or transfer or permit the registration or transfer on its books of any proposed transfers not in accordance with this Article 11.

11.8 Distributions and Allocations in Respect of a Transferred Ownership Interest. If any Partner sells, assigns or transfers any part of its interest in the Partnership during any accounting period in compliance with the provisions of this Article 11, Partnership income, gain, deductions and losses attributable to such interest for the respective period shall be divided and allocated between the transferor and the transferee by taking into account their varying interests during the applicable accounting period using any permissible method under Code Section 706(d), and the Regulations thereunder as determined by the General Partner. All Partnership distributions on or before the effective date of such transfer shall be made to the transferor, and all such Partnership distributions thereafter shall be made to the transferee. Solely for purposes of making Partnership tax allocations and distributions, the Partnership shall recognize a transfer on the day following the day of transfer. Neither the Partnership nor the General Partner shall incur any liability for making Partnership allocations and distributions in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.8, whether or not the General Partner or the Partnership has knowledge of any transfer of any interest in the Partnership or part thereof where the transferee is not admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner.

11.9 Additional Requirements of Sales; Requirements for Repurchase. The General Partner shall not admit any Person as a Limited Partner: if such admission would have the effect of: (i) causing the Partnership to be re-classified for federal income tax purposes as an association (taxable as a corporation under the Code); (ii) violating any Medicare or other health care law, rule or regulation; or (iii) violating applicable exemptions from securities registration and securities disclosure provisions under federal and state securities laws.

11.10 Amendment to Exhibit A. The General Partner shall amend Exhibit A attached to this Agreement from time to time to reflect the admission of any additional or successor General Partner, Substituted Limited Partners or Additional Limited Partners, or the termination of any Partner’s interest in the Partnership.

12. RIGHT TO LIQUIDATE OR PURCHASE PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

12.1 General Partner’s Right of First Refusal. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Article 11, if any Limited Partner receives or obtains an offer from a third-party to acquire in any manner all or any part of its interest in the Partnership, which offer the Limited Partner intends to accept, the Limited Partner shall promptly notify the General Partner in writing of the offer received, including the name of the offeror, the number of whole or partial Units offered to be purchased, the proposed purchase price and the other terms and conditions of the offer. The General Partner shall have the option for a period of thirty (30) days from the day it receives notice of such offer to purchase such Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership on the same terms and conditions contained in the offer. The General Partner may exercise its option by notifying the Limited Partner proposing to sell prior to the end of such thirty (30) day period of its intent to exercise the option; otherwise the Limited Partner, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Article 11, may convey or dispose of the part of the Partner’s interest in the Partnership that was the subject of the offer but only at the price, terms and conditions, and to the party specified in the offer notice to the General Partner. If terms and conditions more favorable to the proposed purchaser than, or in any material manner different from, those offered to the General Partner should be agreed to by the Limited Partner, the General Partner shall again have the option to purchase the selling Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership which is subject to the more favorable or different purchase terms in accordance with this Section 12.1. The General Partner may assign the rights under this Section 12.1 to the Partnership, in which event, the Limited Partner’s interest may be liquidated (rather than purchased) by the Partnership. Neither the General Partner nor the Partnership shall be liable or accountable to any Limited Partner which attempts to transfer its interest in the Partnership for any loss, damage, expense, cost, or liability resulting from any General Partner’s exercise or failure to exercise the purchase option under this Section 12.1, delay in notifying the Limited Partner of any General Partner’s intention not to exercise the purchase option, or its enforcement of the requirements of this Section 12.1 in the event that it elects not to exercise the purchase option. The General Partner’s failure to exercise the purchase option or to indicate in writing that it is electing not to exercise the option shall not be deemed a consent of the General Partner to allow any third party transferee to become a Substituted Limited Partner, such consent being controlled by the provisions of Section 11.2.

13. DISSOLUTION

13.1 Causes. Each Partner expressly waives any right which he or it might otherwise have to dissolve the Partnership except as set forth in this Article 13. The Partnership shall be dissolved upon the first to occur of the following:

(a) The Bankruptcy, dissolution or any other occurrence which would legally disqualify any General Partner from acting hereunder;

(b) The Approval by the Partners of an instrument dissolving the Partnership;

(d) The withdrawal of a General Partner from the Partnership; or

(e) December 31, 2050.

Nothing contained in this Section 13.1 is intended to grant to any Partner the right to dissolve the Partnership at will (by retirement, resignation, withdrawal or otherwise), or to exonerate any Partner from liability to the Partnership and the remaining Partners if it dissolves the Partnership at will. Any dissolution at will of the Partnership, including dissolution caused under Section 13.1(d), shall be in contravention of this Agreement for purposes of the Act. Dissolution of the Partnership under Section 13.1(c) shall not constitute a dissolution at will.

13.2 Reconstitution. If the Partnership is dissolved as a result of an event described in Section 13.1(a) or 13.1(d), the Partnership may be reconstituted and its business continued if, within ninety (90) days after the date of dissolution, all Limited Partners affirmatively elect to reconstitute the Partnership, agree on the identity of the new general partner or partners, and execute an instrument confirming such facts. If the Partnership is reconstituted, an amendment to this Agreement shall be executed and an amended Certificate of Limited Partnership filed of record.

13.3 Interim General Partner. If the Partnership is dissolved as a result of an event described in Section 13.1(a) or 13.1(d) and no General Partner remains, those Partners who own Units representing a majority of the aggregate Sharing Percentage of all of the Partners may appoint an interim manager of the Partnership, who shall have and may exercise only the rights, powers and duties of a general partner necessary to preserve the Partnership assets, until (a) a general partner is elected under Section 13.2, if the Partnership is reconstituted; or (b) a Liquidator is appointed under Section 14.1, if the Partnership is not reconstituted. The interim manager shall not be liable as a general partner to the Limited Partners and shall, while acting in the capacity of interim manager on behalf of the Partnership, be entitled to the same indemnification rights as are set forth in Article 8. The interim manager appointed as provided herein shall be entitled to receive such reasonable compensation for its services as may be agreed upon by such interim manager and those Partners who appointed the interim manager.

14. WINDING UP AND TERMINATION

14.1 General. If the Partnership is dissolved and is not reconstituted, the General Partner (or in the event that the General Partner has withdrawn or is deemed to be in Bankruptcy a Liquidator or liquidating committee selected by those Partners who own at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the aggregate Partners’ Sharing Percentage (excluding that owned by the General Partner)) shall commence to wind up the affairs of the Partnership and, unless a different plan is adopted by Approval of the Partners, to liquidate and sell the Partnership’s assets. The party or parties actually conducting such liquidation in accordance with the foregoing sentence, whether the General Partner, another General Partner, a Liquidator or a liquidating committee, is herein referred to as the “Liquidator.” The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall have sufficient business expertise and competence to conduct the winding up and termination of the Partnership and, in the course thereof, to cause the Partnership to perform any contracts which the Partnership has or thereafter enters into. The Liquidator shall have full right and unlimited discretion to determine the time, manner and terms of any sale or sales of Partnership property under such liquidation, having due regard for the activity and condition of the relevant market and general financial and economic conditions. The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) appointed as provided herein shall be entitled to receive such reasonable compensation for its services as shall be agreed upon by the Liquidator and those Partners who own at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the aggregate Partners’ Sharing Percentage (excluding that owned by the General Partner or applicable General Partner). If the General Partner serves as the Liquidator, the General Partner shall not be entitled to receive any fee for carrying out the duties of the Liquidator. The Liquidator may resign at any time by giving fifteen (15) days prior written notice and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by written notice of Partners who own at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the aggregate Partners’ Sharing Percentage (excluding that owned by the General Partner or applicable General Partner). Upon the death, dissolution, removal or resignation of the Liquidator, a successor and substitute Liquidator (who shall have and succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the original Liquidator) will, within thirty (30) days thereafter, be appointed by those Limited Partners who own at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the aggregate Partners’ Sharing Percentage, excluding that owned by the General Partner or applicable General Partner, evidenced by written appointment and acceptance. The right to appoint a successor or substitute Liquidator in the manner provided herein shall be recurring and continuing for so long as the functions and services of the Liquidator are authorized to continue under the provisions hereof, and every reference herein to the Liquidator will be deemed to refer also to any such successor or substitute Liquidator appointed in the manner herein provided. The Liquidator shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or consent of any of the parties hereto or their legal representatives or successors in interest, all of the powers conferred upon the General Partner under the terms of this agreement to the extent necessary or desirable in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator to

perform its duties and functions. The Liquidator (if other than a General Partner) shall not be liable as a general partner to the Limited Partners and shall, while acting in such capacity on behalf of the Partnership, be entitled to the indemnification rights set forth in Section 8.10.

14.2 Court Appointment of Liquidator. If, within ninety (90) days following the date of dissolution or other time provided in Section 14.1, a Liquidator or successor Liquidator has not been appointed in the manner provided therein, any interested party shall have the right to make application to any United States Federal District Judge (in his individual and not judicial capacity) for the United States District Court of Louisiana for appointment of a Liquidator or successor Liquidator, and the Judge, acting as an individual and not in his judicial capacity, shall be fully authorized and empowered to appoint and designate a Liquidator or successor Liquidator who shall have all the powers, duties, rights and authority of the Liquidator herein provided.

14.3 Liquidation. The Liquidator shall give all notices to creditors of the Partnership and shall make all publications required by the Act. In the course of winding up and terminating the business and affairs of the Partnership, the assets of the Partnership (other than cash) shall be sold, its liabilities and obligations to creditors, including any Partners who made loans to the Partnership as provided in Section 4.5 hereof, and all expenses incurred in its liquidation shall be paid, and all resulting items of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction shall be credited or charged to the Capital Accounts of the Partners in accordance with Article 4. Thereafter, all Partnership assets shall be distributed among all Partners having positive Capital Account balances (as determined after giving effect to all adjustments attributable to allocations of items of profit and loss realized by the Partnership during the Fiscal Year in question (including items of profit and loss realized on the liquidation) and all adjustments attributable to contributions and distributions of money and property effected prior to such distribution), pro rata in accordance with such positive Capital Account balances. This distribution shall be made no later than the end of the fiscal year during which the Partnership is liquidated (or, if later, ninety (90) days after the date on which the Partnership is liquidated). Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership and the distribution of all the Partnership funds, the Partnership shall terminate and the General Partner (or the Liquidator, as the case may be) shall have the authority to execute and record all documents required to effectuate the dissolution and termination of the Partnership. In the discretion of the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Partners may instead be distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the Partners for the purposes of liquidating Partnership property, collecting amounts owed to the Partnership, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or of the Partners arising out of or in connection with the Partnership. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Partners from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidator, in the same proportions

as the amount distributed to such trust by the Partnership would otherwise have been distributed to the Partners pursuant to this Agreement.

14.4 Creation of Reserves. After making payment or provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of the Partnership and all expenses of liquidation, the Liquidator may set up such cash reserves as the Liquidator may deem reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership.

14.5 Final Statement. Within a reasonable time following the completion of the liquidation, the Liquidator shall supply to each of the Partners a statement which shall set forth the assets and the liabilities of the Partnership as of the date of complete liquidation, each Partner’s pro rata portion of distributions under Section 14.3, and the amount retained as reserves by the Liquidator under Section 14.4.

16.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of Louisiana.

16.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Partners, and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall negate or diminish the restrictions set forth in Articles 11 or 12 hereof.

16.5 Construction. Every covenant, term, and provision of this Agreement shall be construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any Partner. The failure by any party to specifically enforce any term or provision hereof or any rights of such party hereunder shall not be construed as the waiver by that party of its rights hereunder.

16.6 Time. Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement.

16.7 Waiver of Partition. Notwithstanding any statute or principle of law to the contrary, each Partner hereby agrees that, during the term of the Partnership, he or it shall have no right (and hereby waives any right that he or it might otherwise have had) to cause any Partnership property to be partitioned and/or distributed in kind.

16.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement among the Partners relating to the subject matter hereof, and all prior agreements relative hereto which are not contained herein are terminated.

16.9 Amendments. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, amendments or modifications may be made to this Agreement only by setting forth such amendments or modifications in a document Approved by the Partners and any alleged amendment or modification herein which is not so documented shall not be effective as to any Partner. The General Partner may, without the consent of any other Partner, amend any provision of this Agreement and execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file and record whatever documents may be required in connection therewith to reflect:

(a) a change in the name of the Partnership, a change in the location of the principal place of business of the Partnership, or a change in the registered office or the registered agent of the Partnership;

(b) admission of a Limited Partner into the Partnership or termination of any Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement;

(c) qualification of the Partnership as a limited partnership under the laws of any state or that is necessary or advisable in the opinion of the General Partner to ensure that the Partnership will not be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, provided, in either case, such action shall not adversely affect any Limited Partner;

(d) a change (i) that is of an inconsequential nature and does not adversely affect the Partners in any material respect; (ii) that is necessary or desirable to satisfy any requirements, conditions or guidelines contained in any opinion, directive, order, ruling or regulation of any federal or state agency or contained in any federal or state statute, compliance with any of which the General Partner deems to be in the best interest of the Partnership and the Limited Partners; or (iii) that is required or contemplated by this Agreement;

(e) an addition to the representations, duties, or obligations of the General Partner; or

(f) a change to any provision in this Agreement required to be so changed by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other federal agency or by a State Securities Commissioner or similar official, which change is deemed by such commission, agency or official to be for the benefit or protection of the Partners.

However, no amendment or modification which disproportionately affects the interest of any Partner in the capital, Profits or Losses of, or distributions or allocations with respect to, the Partnership shall be effective as to any Partner unless the same has been set forth in a document duly executed by such Partner.

16.10 Severability. This Agreement is intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, but the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability does not destroy the basis of the bargain among the Partners as expressed herein, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby, but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

16.11 Gender and Number. Whenever required by the context, as used in this Agreement, the singular number shall include the plural and the neuter shall include the masculine or feminine gender, and vice versa.

16.12 Exhibits. Each Exhibit to this Agreement is incorporated herein for all purposes.
