simple majority of the Percentage Interests held by all of the non-Transferring Limited Partners. A
transferee of a Partner’s interest in the Partnership will be admitted as a Substituted Limited
Partner only pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof. Any purported Transfer that does not comply with the
provisions of this Section 8 shall be void and shall not cause or constitute a dissolution of the
Partnership.

Partnership by operation of law and without violation of Section 8 hereof (or pursuant to a
Transfer that the Partnership is required to recognize notwithstanding any contrary provisions of

Substituted Limited Partner pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof, such Person:
(a) shall be treated as an assignee of a Partner’s interest, as provided in the Act;
(b) shall have no right to participate in the business and affairs of the Partnership or to
exercise any rights of a Partner under this Agreement or the Act; and

transferred interest, on the same basis as the transferring Partner.
8.3 Substituted Limited Partners. No Person taking or acquiring, by whatever means, the
interest of any Partner in the Partnership shall be admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in
the Partnership (a “Substituted Limited Partner”) without the written consent of the General
Partner, which consent may be withheld or granted in the sole and absolute discretion of the
General Partner.
SECTION 9. GENERAL PARTNERS
9.1 Cessation. A Person shall cease to be a General Partner upon the transfer of its entire
interest in the Partnership or upon any event of withdrawal set forth in the Act. Upon the
occurrence of any such event of withdrawal, such Person or its transferee shall have the right to
receive distributions and allocations with respect to its Partnership interest, shall be treated as
the transferee of a Limited Partner, and shall have the right to become a Substituted Limited
Partner upon the unanimous written consent of the Limited Partners.

General Partner pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, the remaining General Partners, if any, shall have
the right and the power to continue the Partnership and its business without dissolution.
9.3 Election of New General Partner. In the event any Person ceases to be a General Partner
pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, and as a consequence thereof the Partnership has no General
Partner, any Limited Partner may nominate one or more Persons for election as General Partner,
which Person or Persons shall have the right and the power to continue the Partnership and its
business without dissolution. The election of a new General Partner shall require the unanimous
written consent of the Limited Partners.

(c) The failure of the remaining General Partners, if any, to continue the Partnership and its
business without dissolution pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof in the event any Person ceases to be a

pursuant to Section 9.3 hereof, in the event all of the General Partners cease to be General
Partners pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof and no Person named as a successor General Partner in
Section 9.3 hereof is then serving as the General Partner.
6
10.2 Winding Up. Upon a dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner (or
court-appointed trustee if there be no General Partner) shall take full account of the
Partnership’s liabilities and Partnership’s property, and the Partnership’s property shall be
liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof. During the period of
liquidation, the business and affairs of the Partnership shall continue to be governed by the
provisions of this Agreement. The proceeds from liquidation of the Partnership’s property, to the
extent sufficient therefor, shall be applied and distributed in the following order:
(a) To the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities (other than
those to the Partners), including the establishment of any necessary reserves;
(b) To the payment of any debts and liabilities to the Partners; and
(c) To the Partners in accordance with Section 3.1.
Notwithstanding anything in Section 3 hereof to the contrary, any Profits, Losses and items thereof
of the Partnership for the taxable year in which the liquidation of the Partnership occurs shall be
allocated among the Partners so as to adjust the Capital Accounts of the Partners as closely as
possible to distributions of such liquidation proceeds pursuant to the priorities set forth in this
Section 10.
10.3 Certificate of Cancellation. When all debts, liabilities and obligations of the
Partnership have been paid and discharged or adequate provisions have been made therefor and all of
the remaining property and assets of the Partnership have been distributed to the Partners, a
certificate of cancellation shall be executed and filed by the General Partner with the Delaware
Secretary of State.
