The purpose and nature of the business to be conducted by the Partnership shall be to engage directly or indirectly in any business activity that is approved by the General Partner and that lawfully may be conducted by a limited partnership organized pursuant to the Delaware Act; provided, however, that the General Partner shall not cause the Partnership to engage, directly or indirectly, in any business activity that the General Partner determines would be reasonably likely to cause the Partnership to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise taxable as an entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the General Partner shall have no duty or obligation to propose or approve the conduct by the Partnership of any business and may decline

to do so free of any fiduciary duty or obligation whatsoever to the Partnership, any Limited Partner or any other Person bound by this Agreement and, in declining to so propose or approve, shall not be required to act in good faith or pursuant to any other standard imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity, and the General Partner in determining whether to propose or approve the conduct by the Partnership of any business shall be permitted to do so in its sole and absolute discretion.

ARTICLE IV

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

Section 4.1 Capitalization of the Partnership. Subject to Section 8.2, the Partnership is authorized to issue two classes of Partnership Interests. The Partnership Interests shall be designated as General Partner Interests and Limited Partner Interests, each having such rights, powers, preferences and designations as set forth in this Agreement.

Section 4.2 Additional Capital Contributions. The Partners shall make additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership at such times and in such amounts as determined by the Partners in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 4.3 Withdrawal of Capital; Interest. No Partner may withdraw capital or receive any distributions from the Partnership except as specifically provided herein. No interest shall accrue or be payable by the Partnership on any Capital Contributions.

Section 4.4 Capital Contribution Events.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.2 to the contrary, whenever the General Partner determines in good faith that additional Capital Contributions in cash from the Partners are necessary to fund the Partnership’s operations, the General Partner may issue a notice to each Partner (a “Call Notice”) for an additional Capital Contribution by each Partner (a “Required Contribution”) in an amount equal to such Partner’s pro rata portion (based on the Percentage Interests of the Partners) of the aggregate additional Capital Contribution determined to be necessary by the General Partner not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the date the General Partner determines such additional Capital Contributions shall be made by the Partners.

(b) All Call Notices shall be expressed in U.S. dollars and shall state the date on which payment is due and the bank(s) or account(s) to which payment is to be made. Each Call Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the purpose(s) for which such Required Contribution is required and the amount of the Required Contribution to be made by each Partner pursuant to such Call Notice. Each Partner shall contribute its Required Contribution within five (5) Business Days of the date of delivery of the relevant Call Notice. The Partnership shall use the proceeds of such Required Contributions exclusively for the purpose specified in the relevant Call Notice.

Section 4.5 Failure to Contribute.

(a) If a Partner fails to contribute all or any portion of a Required Contribution that such Partner (a “Delinquent Partner”) is required to make as provided in this Agreement, then, while such Partner is a Delinquent Partner, each non-Delinquent Partner may (but shall have no obligation to) elect to fund all or any portion of the Delinquent Partner’s Required Contribution as a Capital Contribution pursuant to this Section 4.5. If a non-Delinquent Partner so desires to fund such amount, such non-Delinquent Partner shall so notify each of the other non-Delinquent Partners, who shall have five (5) days thereafter to elect to participate in such funding.

(b) The portion that each participating non-Delinquent Partner may fund as a Capital Contribution pursuant to this Section 4.5 (the “NDP Amount”) shall be equal to the product of (x) the delinquent amount of such Required Contribution multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Percentage Interest then held by such participating non-Delinquent Partner and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate Percentage Interest held by all such participating non-Delinquent Partners; provided, that if any participating non-Delinquent Partner elects to fund less than its full allocation of such amount, the fully participating non-Delinquent Partners shall be entitled to take up such shortfall (allocated, as necessary, based on their respective Percentage Interests). Upon such funding as a Capital Contribution, the Partnership Interest and Percentage Interest of each Partner shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect all such funding (based on total Capital Contributions).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.5 to the contrary, the Delinquent Partner may cure such delinquency (i) by contributing its Required Contribution prior to the Capital Contribution being made by another Partner or (ii) on or before the sixtieth (60th) day following the date that the participating non-Delinquent Partner(s) satisfied the Required Contribution, by making a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in an amount equal to the Required Contribution (a “Make-Up Contribution”) and paying to each participating non-Delinquent Partner an amount equal to its respective NDP Amount multiplied by the Default Interest Rate for the period from the date such participating non-Delinquent Partner funded its NDP Amount to the date that the Delinquent Partner makes its Make-Up Contribution (the “Default Interest Amount”). If a Delinquent Partner cures its delinquency pursuant to Section 4.5(c)(ii) by making a Make-Up Contribution and paying the Default Interest Amount, then (A) first, the Partnership shall distribute to each existing Partner that is a participating non-Delinquent Partner the NDP Amount that such participating non-Delinquent Partner funded pursuant to Section 4.5(b), (B) second, the respective Capital Accounts and Percentage Interests of the Partners shall be adjusted with all necessary increases or decreases to return the Partners’ Capital Accounts and Percentage Interests status quo ante application of Section 4.5(b) and (C) third, the Percentage Interest and Partnership Interests of each Partner shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the Make-Up Contribution (based on total Capital Contributions). If the delinquency is remedied (i) by the Delinquent Partner making its Required Contribution or Make-Up Contribution pursuant to this Section 4.5(c) or (ii) by funding by the non-Delinquent Partner(s) as a Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 4.5(b), the Delinquent Partner shall no longer be deemed to be a Delinquent Partner with respect to the unfunded Required Contribution.

ARTICLE V

ALLOCATIONS AND OTHER TAX MATTERS

Section 5.1 Profits. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 5.3 and Section 5.4, and any allocation of Profits set forth in Section 5.2(b), Profits for any Allocation Year shall be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

Section 5.2 Losses.

(a) After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 5.3 and Section 5.4, Losses for any Allocation Year shall be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

(b) The Losses allocated pursuant to Section 5.2(a) shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be so allocated without causing any Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Allocation Year. In the event some but not all of the Partners would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits as a result of an allocation of Losses pursuant to Section 5.2(a), Losses that would otherwise be allocated to a Partner pursuant to Section 5.2(a) but for the limitation set forth in this Section 5.2(b) shall be allocated to the remaining Partners in proportion to their relative Percentage Interests. All remaining Losses in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 5.2(b) shall be allocated to the General Partner. Profits for any Allocation Year subsequent to an Allocation Year for which the limitation set forth in this Section 5.2(b) was applicable shall be allocated (i) first, to reverse any Losses allocated to the General Partner pursuant to the third sentence of this Section 5.2(b) and (ii) second, to reverse any Losses allocated to the Partners pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 5.2(b) and in proportion to how such Losses were allocated.

Section 5.3 Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain during any Allocation Year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such Allocation Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Allocation Years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). 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 Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(g)(2). This Section 5.3(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Allocation Year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse Debt

Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such Allocation Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Allocation Years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with 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 Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.3(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event that any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704- 1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Partner as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.3(c) were not in this Agreement.

(d) Gross Income Allocation. In the event that any Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Allocation Year, each such Partner shall be allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such deficit as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.3(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been tentatively made as if Section 5.3(c) and this Section 5.3(d) were not in this Agreement.

(e) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Allocation Year shall be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

(f) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Allocation Year shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

(g) Nonrecourse Liabilities. Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership described in Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3) shall be allocated among the Partners in the manner chosen by the General Partner and consistent with such section of the Regulations.

(h) Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Property, pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Partner in complete liquidation of such Partner’s Partnership Interest, the amount of such adjustment to 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) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in accordance with their interests in the Partnership in the event Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Partner to whom such distribution was made in the event Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

Section 5.4 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 5.3 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, the Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 5.4. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Tax Matters Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to Section 5.1, Section 5.2 and Section 5.3 (other than the Regulatory Allocations). In exercising its discretion under this Section 5.4, the Tax Matters Partner shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made.

Section 5.5 Other Allocation Rules.

(a) Profits, Losses and any other items of income, gain, loss, or deduction shall be allocated to the Partners pursuant to this Article V as of the last day of each Fiscal Year; provided that Profits, Losses and such other items shall also be allocated at such times as the Gross Asset Values of the Partnership’s assets are adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value” in Section 1.1.

(b) For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses and any such other items shall be determined on a daily proration basis by the General Partner under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

Section 5.6 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c).

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.6, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as such items are allocated for book purposes under this Article V. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any Property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners 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 initial Gross Asset Value (computed in accordance with the definition of Gross Asset Value). Such allocation shall be made in accordance with the “remedial method” described by Regulations Section 1.704-3(d).

(b) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Property is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, subsequent allocations of 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 Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. Such allocation shall be made in accordance with the “remedial method” described by Regulations Section 1.704-3(d).

(c) In accordance with Regulations Sections 1.1245-1(e) and 1.1250-1(f), any gain allocated to the Partners upon the sale or other taxable disposition of any Property shall, to the extent possible, after taking into account other required allocations of gain pursuant to this Section 5.6(c), be characterized as “recapture income” in the same proportions and to the same extent as such Partners (or their predecessors in interest) have been allocated any deductions directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gains as “recapture income.”

(d) Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the General Partner in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.6 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 Partner’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

Section 5.7 Tax Elections.

(a) The Partners intend that the Partnership be treated as a partnership or a “disregarded entity” for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, neither the Tax Matters Partner nor any Limited Partner shall file any election or return on its own behalf or on behalf of the Partnership that is inconsistent with that intent.

(b) The Partnership shall make the election under Code Section 754 in accordance with the applicable Regulations issued thereunder, subject to the reservation of the right to seek to revoke any such election upon the General Partner’s determination that such revocation is in the best interests of the Partners.

(c) Any elections or other decisions relating to tax matters that are not expressly provided herein, shall be made jointly by the Partners in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement.

Section 5.8 Tax Returns.

(a) The Partnership shall cause to be prepared and timely filed all federal, state, local and foreign income tax returns and reports required to be filed by the Partnership and its subsidiaries. The Partnership shall provide copies of all the Partnership’s federal, state, local and foreign tax returns (and any schedules or other required filings related to such returns) that reflect items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit that flow to separate Partner returns, to the Partners for their review and comment prior to filing, except as otherwise agreed by the Partners. The Partners agree in good faith to resolve any difference in the tax treatment of any item affecting such returns and schedules. However, if the Partners are unable to resolve the dispute, the position of the Tax Matters Partner shall be followed if nationally recognized tax counsel acceptable to the Partners provides an opinion that substantial authority exists for such position.

Substantial authority shall be given the meaning ascribed to it for purposes of applying Code Section 6662. If the Partners are unable to resolve the dispute prior to the due date for filing the return, including approved extensions, the position of the Tax Matters Partner shall be followed, and amended returns shall be filed if necessary at such time the dispute is resolved. The costs of the dispute shall be borne by the Partnership. The Partners agree to file their separate federal income tax returns in a manner consistent with the Partnership’s return, the provisions of this Agreement and in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b) The Partnership shall elect the most rapid method of depreciation and amortization allowed under Applicable Law, unless the Partners agree otherwise.

(c) The Partners shall provide each other with copies of all correspondence or summaries of other communications with the Internal Revenue Service or any state, local or foreign taxing authority (other than routine correspondence and communications) regarding the tax treatment of the Partnership’s operations. No Partner shall enter into settlement negotiations with the Internal Revenue Service or any state, local or foreign taxing authority with respect to any issue concerning the Partnership’s income, gains, losses, deductions or credits if the tax adjustment attributable to such issue (assuming the then current aggregate tax rate) would be $100,000 or greater, without first giving reasonable advance notice of such intended action to the other Partners.

Section 5.9 Tax Matters Partner.

(a) The General Partner shall be the “Tax Matters Partner” of the Partnership within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code, and shall act in any similar capacity under the Applicable Law of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction, but only with respect to returns for which items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit flow to the separate returns of the Partners. If at any time there is more than one General Partner, the Tax Matters Partner shall be the General Partner with the largest Percentage Interest following such admission.

(b) The Tax Matters Partner shall incur no Liability (except as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Tax Matters Partner) to the Partnership or the other Partners including, but not limited to, Liability for any additional taxes, interest or penalties owed by the other Partners due to adjustments of Partnership items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit at the Partnership level.

Section 5.10 Duties of Tax Matters Partner.

(a) Except as provided in Section 5.10(b), the Tax Matters Partner shall cooperate with the other Partners and shall promptly provide the other Partners with copies of notices or other materials from, and inform the other Partners of discussions engaged with, the Internal Revenue Service or any state, local or foreign taxing authority and shall provide the other Partners with notice of all scheduled proceedings, including meetings with agents of the Internal Revenue Service or any state, local or foreign taxing authority, technical advice conferences, appellate hearings, and similar conferences and hearings, as soon as possible after receiving notice of the scheduling of such proceedings, but in any case prior to the date of such scheduled proceedings.

(b) The duties of the Tax Matters Partner under Section 5.10(a) shall not apply with respect to notices, materials, discussions, proceedings, meetings, conferences, or hearings involving any issue concerning the Partnership’s income, gains, losses, deductions or credits if the tax adjustment attributable to such issue (assuming the then current aggregate tax rate) would be less than $100,000 except as otherwise required under Applicable Law.

(c) The Tax Matters Partner shall not extend the period of limitations or assessments without the consent of the other Partners, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) The Tax Matters Partner shall not file a petition or complaint in any court, or file any claim, amended return or request for an administrative adjustment with respect to partnership items, after any return has been filed, with respect to any issue concerning the Partnership’s income, gains, losses, deductions or credits if the tax adjustment attributable to such issue (assuming the then current aggregate tax rate) would be $100,000 or greater, unless agreed by the other Partners. If the other Partners do not agree, the position of the Tax Matters Partner shall be followed if nationally recognized tax counsel acceptable to all Partners issues an opinion that a reasonable basis exists for such position. Reasonable basis shall be given the meaning ascribed to it for purposes of applying Code Section 6662. The costs of the dispute shall be borne by the Partnership.

(e) The Tax Matters Partner shall not enter into any settlement agreement with the Internal Revenue Service or any state, local or foreign taxing authority, either before or after any audit of the applicable return is completed, with respect to any issue concerning the Partnership’s income, gains, losses, deductions or credits, unless any of the following apply:

(i) all Partners agree to the settlement;

(ii) the tax effect of the issue if resolved adversely would be, and the tax effect of settling the issue is, proportionately the same for all Partners (assuming each otherwise has substantial taxable income);

(iii) the Tax Matters Partner determines that the settlement of the issue is fair to the Partners; or

(iv) tax counsel acceptable to all Partners determines that the settlement is fair to all Partners and is one it would recommend to the Partnership if all Partners were owned by the same person and each had substantial taxable income.

In all events, the costs incurred by the Tax Matters Partner in performing its duties hereunder shall be borne by the Partnership.

(f) The Tax Matters Partner may request extensions to file any tax return or statement without the written consent of, but shall so inform, the other Partners.

Section 5.11 Survival of Provisions. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the provisions of this Agreement regarding the Partnership’s tax returns and Tax Matters Partner shall survive the termination of the Partnership and the transfer of any Partner’s interest in the Partnership and shall remain in effect for the period of time necessary to resolve any and all matters regarding the federal, state, local and foreign taxation of the Partnership and items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit.

(f) (i) the approval of any distribution by the Partnership to the Partners of any assets in kind (other than cash or cash equivalents), (ii) the approval of any distribution by the Partnership to the Partners of cash or property in kind on a non-pro rata basis and (iii) the determination of the value assigned to distributions of property in kind;

(g) other than pursuant to Section 4.4, the making of any additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership; and

(h) any other provision of this Agreement expressly requiring the approval, consent or other form of authorization of all of the Partners.

Section 8.3 Meetings and Voting.

(a) Representatives. For purposes of this Article VIII and subject to the General Partner’s authority under Section 8.1, each Partner shall be represented by a designated representative (each, a “Representative”), who shall be appointed by, and may be removed with or without cause by, the Partner that designated such Person. Each Representative shall have the full authority to act on behalf of the Partner who designated such Representative. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Representative shall be deemed the agent of the Partner that appointed him, and each Representative shall not be an agent of the Partnership or the other Partners. The action of a Representative at a meeting of the Partners (or through a written consent) shall bind the Partner that designated that Representative, and the other Partners shall be entitled to rely upon such action without further inquiry or investigation as to the actual authority (or lack thereof) of such Representative.

(b) Meetings and Voting. Meetings of Partners shall be at such times and locations as the General Partner shall determine in its sole discretion. The General Partner shall provide notice to the Limited Partners of any meetings of Partners in any manner that it deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. The holders of a majority, by Percentage Interest, of Partnership Interests for which a meeting has been called (including Partnership Interests owned by the General Partner) represented in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of Partners unless any such action by the Partners requires approval by holders of a greater Percentage Interest, in which case the quorum shall be such greater Percentage Interest. At any meeting of the Partners duly called and held in accordance with this Agreement at which a quorum is present, the act of Partners holding Partnership Interests that, in the aggregate, represent a majority of the Percentage Interests of those present in person or by proxy at such meeting shall be deemed to constitute the act of all Partners, unless a greater or different percentage is required with respect to such action under the provisions of this Agreement, in which case the act of the Partners holding Partnership Interests that in the aggregate represent at least such greater or different percentage shall be required. The Partners present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Partners to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by Partners holding the required Percentage Interests specified in this Agreement. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of

Partners may be adjourned from time to time by the affirmative vote of Partners with at least a majority of the Percentage Interests of the Partners entitled to vote at such meeting (including the General Partner) represented either in person or by proxy, but no other business may be transacted.

(c) Unanimous Approval Matters. All Unanimous Approval Matters shall be approved by the unanimous affirmative vote of all of the Partners. Each Partner acknowledges and agrees that all references in this Agreement to any approval, consent or other form of authorization by “all Partners,” “each of the Partners” or similar phrases shall be deemed to mean that such approval, consent or other form of authorization shall constitute a Unanimous Approval Matter that requires the unanimous approval of all of the Partners in accordance with this Section 8.3(c).

(d) Action Without a Meeting. Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Partners may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if an approval in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by the Partners owning not less than the minimum Percentage Interests of the Partnership Interests that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all of the Partners were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Partners who have not approved such action in writing.

Section 8.4 Reliance by Third Parties. Persons dealing with the Partnership are entitled to rely conclusively upon the power and authority of the General Partner set forth in this Agreement. Neither a Limited Partner nor its Representative shall have the authority to bind the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 8.5 Reimbursement of the General Partner. The General Partner shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may determine, for (i) all direct and indirect expenses it incurs or payments it makes on behalf of the Partnership (including salary, bonus, incentive compensation and other amounts paid to any Person, including Affiliates of the General Partner, to perform services for the Partnership or for the General Partner in the discharge of its duties to the Partnership) and (ii) all other expenses allocable to the Partnership or otherwise incurred by the General Partner or its Affiliates in connection with managing and operating the Partnership’s business and affairs (including expenses allocated to the General Partner by its Affiliates). The General Partner shall determine the expenses that are allocable to the Partnership. Reimbursements pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall be in addition to any reimbursement to the General Partner as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 10.3. Any allocation of expenses to the Partnership by the General Partner in a manner consistent with its or its Affiliates’ past business practices shall be permitted by, and not constitute a breach of, this Agreement or any duty owed by the General Partner to the Partnership, the Partners, or any other Person bound by this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

TRANSFER OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

Section 9.1 Restrictions on Transfers.

(a) General. Except as expressly provided by this Article IX, no Partner shall transfer all or any part of its Partnership Interests to any Person without first obtaining the written approval of each of the other Partners, which approval may be granted or withheld in their sole discretion.

(b) Transfer by Operation of Law. In the event a Partner shall be party to a merger, consolidation or similar business combination transaction with another Person or sell all or substantially all its assets to another Person, such Partner may transfer all or part of its Partnership Interests to such other Person without the approval of any other Partner.

(c) Consequences of an Unpermitted Transfer. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any transfer of a Partner’s Partnership Interest in violation of the applicable provisions of this Agreement shall be void.

Section 9.2 Conditions for Admission. No transferee of all or a portion of the Partnership Interests of any Partner shall be admitted as a Partner hereunder unless such Partnership Interests are transferred in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. Each such transferee shall have executed and delivered to the Partnership such instruments as the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion to effectuate the admission of such transferee as a Partner and to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The admission of a transferee shall be effective immediately prior to such transfer and, immediately following such admission, the transferor shall cease to be a Partner (to the extent it transferred its entire Partnership Interest). If the General Partner transfers its entire General Partner Interest in the Partnership, the transferee General Partner, to the extent admitted as a substitute General Partner, is hereby authorized to, and shall, continue the Partnership without dissolution.

Section 9.3 Allocations and Distributions. Subject to applicable Regulations, upon the transfer of all the Partnership Interests of a Partner as herein provided, the Profit or Loss of the Partnership attributable to the Partnership Interests so transferred for the Fiscal Year in which such transfer occurs shall be allocated between the transferor and transferee as of the effective date of the assignment, and such allocation shall be based upon any permissible method agreed to by the Partners that is provided for in Code Section 706 and the Regulations issued thereunder.

Section 9.4 Restriction on Resignation or Withdrawal. Except in connection with a transfer permitted pursuant to Section 9.1 or as contemplated by Section 12.1, no Partner shall withdraw from the Partnership without the consent of each of the other Partners. To the extent permitted by law, any purported withdrawal from the Partnership in violation of this Section 9.4 shall be null and void.

ARTICLE X

LIABILITY, EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.1 Liability for Partnership Obligations. Except as otherwise required by the Delaware Act, the Liabilities of the Partnership shall be solely the Liabilities of the Partnership, and no Indemnitee (other than the General Partner) shall be obligated personally for any such Liability of the Partnership solely by reason of being an Indemnitee.

Section 10.2 Disclaimer of Duties and Exculpation.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Indemnitee shall have any duty (fiduciary or otherwise) or obligation to the Partnership, the Partners or to any other Person bound by this Agreement, and in taking, or refraining from taking, any action required or permitted under this Agreement or under Applicable Law, each Indemnitee shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as such Indemnitee deems advisable, including its own interests, and need not consider any interest of or factors affecting, any other Indemnitee or the Partnership notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity. To the extent that an Indemnitee is required or permitted under this Agreement to act in “good faith” or under another express standard, such Indemnitee shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard under this Agreement or otherwise existing under Applicable Law or in equity.

(b) The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties (including fiduciary duties) and Liabilities of an Indemnitee otherwise existing under Applicable Law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and Liabilities of such Indemnitee in their entirety, and no Indemnitee shall be liable to the Partnership, the Partners or any other Person bound by this Agreement for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by law, no Indemnitee shall be liable to the Partnership, the Partners or any other Person bound by this Agreement for any cost, expense, loss, damage, claim or Liability incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnitee in such capacity, whether or not such Person continues to be an Indemnitee at the time of such cost, expense, loss, damage, claim or Liability is incurred or imposed, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe its conduct was unlawful.

(d) An Indemnitee shall be fully protected from liability to the Partnership, the Partners and any other Person bound by this Agreement in acting or refraining from acting in good faith reliance upon the records of the Partnership and such other information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Partnership by any Person as to any matters the Indemnitee reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Partnership, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, Liabilities, Profits and Losses of the Partnership.

Section 10.3 Indemnification.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law but subject to the limitations expressly provided in this Agreement, all Indemnitees shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all threatened, pending or completed claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal and including appeals, in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status as an Indemnitee and acting (or refraining to act) in such capacity on behalf of or for the benefit of the Partnership; provided, that the Indemnitee shall not be indemnified and held harmless pursuant to this Agreement if there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in intentional fraud, willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful; provided, further, no indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall be available to any Affiliate of the Partnership, or to any other Indemnitee, with respect to any such Affiliate’s obligations pursuant to the Transaction Documents. Any indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, it being agreed that the General Partner shall not be personally liable for such indemnification or advancement of expenses and shall have no obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Partnership to enable it to effectuate such indemnification or advancement of expenses.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee who is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 10.3(a) in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Partnership prior to a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.3, the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified upon receipt by the Partnership of any undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by this Section 10.3.

(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 10.3 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, as a matter of law, in equity or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnitee’s capacity as an Indemnitee and as to actions in any other capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators of the Indemnitee.

(d) The Partnership may purchase and maintain (or reimburse the General Partner or its Affiliates for the cost of) insurance, on behalf of the General Partner, its Affiliates and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expense that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities or such Person’s activities on behalf of the Partnership, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

(e) For purposes of this Section 10.3, the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to Applicable Law shall constitute “fines” within the meaning of Section 10.3(a); and action taken or omitted by an Indemnitee with respect to any employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose subjectively believed by it not to be adverse to the interests of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose that is on behalf of and for the benefit of the Partnership and not adverse to the interests of the Partnership.

(f) In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Limited Partners to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.

(g) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 10.3 solely because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies.

(h) The provisions of this Section 10.3 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees and their heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

(i) No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 10.3 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Partnership, nor the obligations of the Partnership to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.3 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

ARTICLE XI

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Section 11.1 Transactions with Affiliates. The Partnership and its Subsidiaries shall be permitted to enter into or renew or extend the term of any agreement or transaction with a Partner or an Affiliate of a Partner on such terms and conditions as the General Partner shall approve in its sole discretion, without the approval of any Limited Partner.

Section 11.2 Outside Activities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity, (a) the engaging in activities by any Indemnitee that are competitive with the business of the Partnership is hereby approved by all Partners, (b) it shall not be a breach of any fiduciary duty or any other duty or obligation of a Partner under this Agreement or otherwise existing under Applicable Law or in equity for such Indemnitee to engage in such activities in preference to or to the exclusion of the Partnership, (c) an Indemnitee shall have no obligation under this Agreement or as a result of any duty (including

any fiduciary duty) otherwise existing under Applicable Law or in equity, to present business opportunities to the Partnership and (d) the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, shall not apply to any Indemnitee; provided such Indemnitee does not engage in such activity as a result of or using confidential or proprietary information provided by or on behalf of the Partnership to such Indemnitee.

ARTICLE XII

DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION

Section 12.1 Dissolution. The Partnership shall be dissolved and its business and affairs wound up upon the earliest to occur of any one of the following events:

(a) at any time there are no Limited Partners of the Partnership, unless the business of the Partnership is continued in accordance with the Delaware Act;

(b) the written consent of all the Partners;

(d) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section 17-802 of the Delaware Act.

The bankruptcy, involuntary liquidation or dissolution of a Partner shall cause that Partner to cease to be a partner of the Partnership. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership shall not be dissolved and its business and affairs shall not be wound up upon the occurrence of any event specified in clause (c) above if, at the time of occurrence of such event, there is at least one remaining General Partner (who is hereby authorized to, and shall, carry on the business of the Partnership) and at least one Limited Partner, or if within ninety (90) days after the date on which such event occurs, the remaining Partners elect in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of the date of such event, if required, of one or more additional General Partners of the Partnership. Except as provided in this paragraph, and to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Act, the occurrence of an event that causes a Partner to cease to be a Partner of the Partnership shall not, in and of itself, cause the Partnership to be dissolved or its business or affairs to be wound up, and upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of the Partnership shall, to the extent permitted by the Delaware Act, continue without dissolution.

Section 12.2 Winding Up of Partnership. Upon dissolution, the Partnership’s business shall be wound up in an orderly manner. The General Partner shall (unless the General Partner (or, if no General Partner, the remaining Limited Partners) elects to appoint a liquidating trustee) wind up the affairs of the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement. In performing its duties, the General Partner or liquidating trustee is authorized to sell, distribute, exchange or otherwise dispose of the assets of the Partnership in accordance with the Delaware Act and in any reasonable manner that the General Partner or liquidating trustee shall determine to be not adverse to the interests of the Partners or their successors-in-interest. The General Partner or liquidating trustee shall take full account of the Partnership’s Liabilities and Property and shall cause the Property or the proceeds from the sale thereof, to the extent sufficient therefor, to be

applied and distributed, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, in the following order:

(a) First, to creditors, including Partners who are creditors, to the extent permitted by law, in satisfaction of all of the Partnership’s Liabilities (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof to the extent required by Section 17-804 of the Delaware Act), other than Liabilities for distribution to Partners under Section 17-601 or 17-604 of the Delaware Act;

(b) Second, to the Partners and former Partners of the Partnership in satisfaction of Liabilities for distributions under Sections 17-601 or 17-604 of the Delaware Act; and

(c) The balance, if any, to the Partners in accordance with the positive balance in their respective Capital Accounts, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all periods.

Section 12.3 Compliance with Certain Requirements of Regulations; Deficit Capital Accounts. In the event the Partnership is “liquidated” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions shall be made pursuant to this Article XII to the Partners who have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Regulations Section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2). If any Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all Allocation Years, including the Allocation Year during which such liquidation occurs), such Partner shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Partnership or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever.

Section 12.4 Deemed Distribution and Recontribution. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XII, in the event the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) but no actual dissolution and winding up under the Delaware Act has occurred, the Property shall not be liquidated, the Partnership’s debts and other Liabilities shall not be paid or discharged, and the Partnership’s affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, solely for federal income tax purposes, the Partnership shall be deemed to have contributed all its Property and Liabilities to a new limited partnership in exchange for an interest in such new limited partnership and, immediately thereafter, the Partnership will be deemed to liquidate by distributing interests in the new limited partnership to the Partners.

Section 12.5 Distribution of Property. In the event the General Partner determines that it is necessary in connection with the winding up of the Partnership to make a distribution of property in kind, such property shall be transferred and conveyed to the Partners so as to vest in each of them as a tenant in common an undivided interest in the whole of such property, but otherwise in accordance with Section 12.3.

Section 12.6 Termination of Partnership. The Partnership shall terminate when all assets of the Partnership, after payment of or due provision for all Liabilities of the Partnership, shall have been distributed to the Partners in the manner provided for in this Agreement, and the Certificate of Limited Partnership shall have been canceled in the manner provided by the Delaware Act.

ARTICLE XIII

Addresses for notices and communications hereunder may be changed by the Partnership, the General Partner or any Limited Partner, as applicable, giving notice in writing, stating its new address for notices, to the other.

Section 13.2 Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings pertaining thereto.

Section 13.3 Assignment. A Partner shall not assign all or any of its rights, obligations or benefits under this Agreement to any other Person otherwise than (i) in connection with a transfer of its Partnership Interests pursuant to Article IX or (ii) with the prior written consent of each of the other Partners, which consent may be withheld in such Partner’s sole discretion, and any attempted assignment not in compliance with Article IX or this Section 13.3 shall be void.

Section 13.4 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

Any failure or delay on the part of any Partner in exercising any power or right hereunder shall not operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder or otherwise available under Applicable Law or in equity.

Section 13.7 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant, or restriction in this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance, at any time or to any extent,

is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement (or the application of such provision in other jurisdictions or to Persons or circumstances other than those to which it was held invalid or unenforceable) shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any such term, provision, covenant or restriction shall be restricted in applicability or reformed to the minimum extent required for such to be enforceable. This provision shall be interpreted and enforced to give effect to the original written intent of the Partners prior to the determination of such invalidity or unenforceability.

Section 13.8 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THEREOF. ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR PROCEEDING RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY TRANSACTION OR CONDUCT IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, IS HEREBY WAIVED BY EACH OF THE PARTNERS.

Section 13.9 No Xxxx for Accounting. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event shall any Partner have any right to file a xxxx for an accounting or any similar proceeding.

Section 13.10 Waiver of Partition. Each Partner hereby waives any right to partition of the Property.
