actions reasonably requested by the General Partner to give effect to the foregoing. Each additional Limited Partner admitted in a Subsequent Closing shall contribute to the Partnership an amount equal to the sum of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which equals the additional Limited Partner’s Capital Contribution and the denominator of which equals the Capital Contributions of all Partners as of such Subsequent Closing (including the Capital Commitments of all additional Limited Partners) to fund the cost of investments to the extent such investments have been realized prior to the date of such Subsequent Closing. For all purposes of this Agreement, Capital Contributions made pursuant to this 0 and refunded to a Partner that participated in a previous Closing will be deemed to have been made by the contributing Partner (and not the refunded Partner) as of the date on which the refunded Partner actually made such Capital Contribution.

Section 5.01Capital Accounts. A separate Capital Account shall be maintained and adjusted for each Partner, in accordance with the Regulations issued under Section 704(b) of the Code (26 U.S.C. § 704(b)). The following adjustments shall be made consistent with the foregoing:

(b)From each Partner’s Capital Account there shall be subtracted the amount of money and the fair market value of any Partnership property distributed to the Partner, the amount of any liabilities of the Partner assumed by the Partnership or to which any property contributed to the Partnership by such Partner is subject, and the Partner’s distributive share of Losses and any items of deduction or loss which are allocated separately from Losses under 0.
(c) If any Partnership Interest is transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred Partnership Interest.
(d)For purposes of determining the Partner’s Capital Accounts, the following provisions concerning Partnership property shall apply:
(i)The Book Value of any property contributed by a Partner to the Partnership initially shall be the gross fair market value of the property;
(ii)The Book Value of all Partnership property shall be adjusted to equal the respective gross fair market values of the property as of the following times: (A) the acquisition of an additional Partnership Interest by any new or existing Partner in exchange for services or more than a de minimis Capital Contribution; (B) the distribution by the Partnership to a Partner of more than a de minimis amount of Partnership property as consideration for a Partnership Interest; or (C) the liquidation of the Partnership within the meaning of Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) (26 C.F.R. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g));
(iii)The Book Value of Partnership property shall be adjusted by the Depreciation taken into account with respect to such property; and
(iv)The Book Value of Partnership property distributed to a Partner shall be adjusted to equal the fair market value of such property immediately before such distribution.

(ii)Thereafter, Profits shall be allocated to the Partners in proportion to their Partnership Interests set forth in 0.

No Partnership items of loss or deduction may be allocated to any Partner to the extent such allocation would result in an Adjusted Capital Account deficit balance for such Partner. If, at the end of a year, any Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account deficit balance, such Partner shall be allocated items of income and gain to the extent necessary to eliminate such deficit balance.
(b)Nonrecourse Deductions and Partnership Minimum Gain Chargeback. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated equally between each Partner. If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for any year, each Partner shall be allocated the next available items of income and gain for such year (and for subsequent years if necessary) equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain as determined in accordance with Regulation § 1.704-2(g) (26 C.F.R. § 1.704-2(g)) and the “minimum gain chargeback” requirement of Regulation § 1.704-2(f) (26 C.F.R. § 1.704-2(f)).
(c)Partner Nonrecourse Deductions and Chargeback. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any year shall be 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 as determined under Regulation § 1.704-2(i) (26 C.F.R. § 1.704-2(i)). If there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain in any year, each Partner shall be allocated items of income and gain for such year (and for
subsequent years, if necessary) equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain in accordance with Regulation § 1.704- 2(i)(4) (26 C.F.R. § 1.704-2(i)(4)).
(d)Qualified Income Offset. Any Partner who unexpectedly receives, with respect to the Partnership, an adjustment, allocation, or distribution of any item described in subsections (4), (5), or (6) of Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) (26 C.F.R. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4)-(6)) shall be allocated items of income and gain in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account deficit balance arising thereby as quickly as possible, in accordance with the “qualified income offset” rule of Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3) (26 C.F.R. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3)).
(e)Curative Allocations. The special allocations set forth in this 0 are intended to comply with the requirements of the Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code (26 U.S.C. § 704(b)). It is the intent of the Partners that all such special allocations shall be offset with other special allocations. Accordingly, to the extent consistent with the Regulations, to the extent that any such special allocations are made to a Partner, subsequent offsetting special allocations shall be made to such Partner such that the net amount of all items of income, gain, loss, and deduction allocated to each Partner is the same that would have been allocated to each Partner if no special allocations had been made to any Partner, taking into account future special allocations that, although not yet made, are likely to offset previous special allocations.
(a)General Allocation. Except as otherwise provided in this 0, items of income, gain, loss, and deduction as determined for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated in the same manner as the related items of Profits, Losses, or specially allocated items. Tax credits shall be allocated in accordance with Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii) (26 C.F.R. § 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii)).
(b)Contributed Property. In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code (26 U.S.C. § 704(c)) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction as determined for federal income tax purposes with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall 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 Book Value.
(c)Revaluations. If the Book Value of any Partnership property is adjusted pursuant to 0 of this Agreement, income, gain, loss, and deduction as determined for federal income tax purposes with respect to such property shall be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code (26 U.S.C. § 704(c)) and the Regulations thereunder.
(d)No Effect on Capital Accounts. Allocations pursuant to this 0 are for purposes of federal income 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, or other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
(e)Allocation Method. The method for making allocations pursuant to 0 and 0 shall be such method permitted by Regulation § 1.704-3 (26 C.F.R. § 1.704-3) as shall be agreed upon by the Partners.
Section 5.07Allocation of Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities. Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities shall be allocated equally between both Partnership groups.

In order to preserve and protect the determinations and allocations provided for in this 0, the General Partner hereby is authorized and directed to allocate income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) arising in any year differently than otherwise provided for in this 0 to the extent that allocating income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) in the manner provided for in 0 would cause the determinations and allocations of each Partner’s distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) not to be permitted by Section 705(b) of the Code and Regulations promulgated thereunder. Any allocation made pursuant to this 0 shall be deemed to be a complete substitute for any allocation otherwise provided for in this 0 and no amendment of this Agreement or approval of any Partner shall be required.
(b)In making any allocation (the “new allocation”) under 0, the General Partner is authorized to act only after having been advised by the independent certified public accounting firm engaged by the Partnership that, under Section 705(b) of the Code (26 U.S.C. § 705(b)) and the Regulations thereunder (i) the new allocation is necessary and (ii) the new allocation is the minimum necessary under 0 in order to assure that, either in the then current year or in any preceding year, each credit (or item thereof) is determined and allocated in accordance with this 0 to the fullest extent permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code (26 U.S.C. § 704(b)) and the Regulations thereunder.
(c)If the General Partner is required by 0 to make any new allocation in a manner less favorable to the Limited Partners than is otherwise provided for in this 0, then the General Partner is authorized and directed, only after having been advised by the independent certified public accounting firm engaged by the Partnership that it is permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code (26 U.S.C. § 704(b)), to allocate income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) arising in later years in such manner so as to bring the allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) to the Limited Partners as nearly as possible to the allocations thereof otherwise contemplated by this 0.
(d)New allocations made by the General Partner under 0 and 0 in reliance upon the advice of the accountants shall be deemed to be made pursuant to the fiduciary obligation of the General Partner to the Partnership and the Limited Partners, and no such allocation shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by any Limited Partner.
Section 5.09Designation of Partnership Representative. The General Partner shall be designated as the Partnership Representative as provided in Section 6223(a) of the Code (26 U.S.C.A. § 6223(a)). Each Partner, by the execution of this Agreement consents to such designation of the Partnership Representative and agrees to execute, certify, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file, and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such consent.
Section 5.10Expenses of Partnership Representative. The Partnership shall indemnify and reimburse the Partnership Representative for all expenses, including legal and accounting fees, claims, liabilities, losses, and damages incurred in connection with any administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to the tax liability of the Partners. The payment of all such expenses shall be made before any distributions are made from Cash Flow or any discretionary reserves are set aside by the General Partner. The General Partner shall have the obligation to provide funds for such purpose. The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the Partnership Representative in connection with any such proceeding, except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole discretion of the Partnership Representative and the provisions on limitations of liability of General Partner and indemnification set forth in 0 of this Agreement shall be fully applicable to the Partnership Representative in its capacity as such.
Section 5.11Determination of Time and Amount of Distributions. The time and amount of all distributions made pursuant to this 0 shall be determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion, provided that such distribution shall be made not less frequently than quarterly. In making such determination, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, establish reserves for working capital, maintenance, repairs, capital expenditures or other items, and the satisfaction of liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent liabilities) as they come due or may come due.

Section 8.05Required Withdrawals. If the General Partner determines, in good faith after consultation with counsel, that the continued participation of a Limited Partner in the Partnership would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of any law or regulation applicable to the Partnership (including, without limitation, the anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism laws or regulations, including Title III of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT ACT) Act of 2001 (the “AML Laws”)) or subject the Partnership to any unintended law or regulatory scheme (including, without limitation, ERISA) (a “Legal Violation”), then the General Partner shall notify such Limited Partner of such Legal Violation and such Limited Partner shall be required to withdraw from the Partnership immediately following such notification (the “Withdrawal Date”); provided, that, if the General Partner in its sole discretion determines that the Legal Violation (other than a Legal Violation involving the AML Laws) is capable of being reasonably mitigated, prevented or cured, then the General Partner and such Limited Partner may take actions as the General Partner deems necessary and appropriate to mitigate, prevent or cure such Legal Violation, including (i) prohibiting such Limited Partner from making Capital Contributions with respect to any future Properties, (ii) converting such Limited Partner’s Interest into a non-voting Interest, (iii) allowing, in the General Partner’s sole discretion, some or all of the Partnership investors or other Persons to purchase all or a portion of the Interest of such Limited Partner for an amount, in cash, equal to the fair value of such Interest, and/or (iv) making appropriate applications to the relevant governmental authority in respect of such Legal Violation. A withdrawing Limited Partner under this 0 shall be entitled to receive a distribution equal to any amounts it would have been entitled to if the Partnership, in accordance with the provisions hereof, dissolved, liquidated, and distributed all the proceeds thereof as of the date of withdrawal of such Limited Partner.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP
Section 9.01Dissolution. The Partnership shall dissolve upon, but not before, the first to occur of the following:
(a)Upon the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets and the receipt of the final payments to be paid by the purchaser or transferee thereof (or a determination by the Liquidator that it is unlikely that any additional payments will be made);
(b)Any other event causing dissolution of the Partnership under the Act.
(c)All liquidating distributions shall be made in cash. However, in connection with the sale by the Partnership and reduction to cash of its assets, although the Partnership has no obligation to offer to sell any properties to the Partners, any Partner, at the option of the Liquidator, may bid on and purchase any assets; it being agreed, however, that if the Liquidator shall determine that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership assets would cause undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may defer liquidation of and withhold from distribution for a reasonable time any assets of the Partnership (except those necessary to satisfy the Partnership’s current obligations).
(d)In connection with the termination of the Partnership, the Partnership’s accountants shall prepare and furnish to each Partner a statement setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Partnership as of the date of complete liquidation. After distribution of all of the assets of the Partnership, the Limited Partners shall cease to be such, and the General Partner shall cause to be executed, acknowledged, and filed all documents necessary to cancel the Partnership’s Certificate and fictitious name certificates, if any, and to terminate the Partnership.
(e)On liquidation, the General Partner shall comply with Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b) (26 C.F.R. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)).
(f)No Partner shall be liable for the return of the Capital Contribution of any other Partner; provided, that this provision shall not relieve any Partner of any other duty or liability it may have under this Agreement.
ARTICLE X
BOOKS, RECORDS, AND TAX ELECTIONS
Section 10.01Books and Records. The General Partner shall cause to be kept full and accurate books of the Partnership. All books and records of the Partnership shall be kept at the Partnership’s principal office and shall be available at reasonable times for inspection and copying by the Limited Partners or their duly authorized representatives. The books of the Partnership shall be kept on the accrual basis and the annual accounting period of the Partnership shall be the calendar year. Capital Accounts for each General and Limited Partners shall be maintained as part of the books of the Partnership and the amount or profits or losses of the Partnership, as well as capital contributions to the Partnership and distributions from the Partnership, shall be credited or charged, as the case may be, to the capital account of each General and Limited Partner. An annual statement showing the income and expenses of the Partnership (and the portion allocable to each Partner), a balance sheet of the Partnership at the end of the fiscal year, and a statement of Partners’ equity, together with all other information needed by the Partners for income tax purposes, shall be prepared by the Partnership’s accountants without audit and furnished to each Limited Partner within seventy (70) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Partnership. The General Partner may, at its option, cause an amendment to the Partnership’s Certificate to be filed to reflect any reductions in the Partners’ capital accounts, but shall have no obligation to do so and shall have no liability to any party for any failure to do so.
Section 10.02Capital Accounts. No Partner shall have any obligation to eliminate a deficit balance in that Partner’s Capital Account at any time, or bring that Partner’s Capital Account into any particular parity with any other Partner’s Capital Account at any time, although this sentence shall not limit a Partner’s obligations pursuant to other sections of this Agreement. The General Partner shall have no obligation to make up any deficit balance in any Partner’s Capital Account.
Section 10.03Tax Elections. The General Partner may cause the Partnership to make such tax elections (including, without limitation, the election under Section 754 of the Code (26 U.S.C. § 754)) as the General Partner deems appropriate in its sole discretion.
Section 10.04Tax Matters Partner. The General Partner shall be designated as the “tax matters partner” (as defined in Section 6231 of the Code) (the “Tax Matters Partner”) and, for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, the “partnership representative” (the “Partnership Representative”) as provided in Section 6223(a) of the Code. Any expenses incurred by the Tax Matters Partner or Partnership Representative in carrying out its responsibilities and duties under this Agreement shall be an Operating Expense of the Partnership for which the Tax Matters Partner or Partnership Representative shall be reimbursed.
ARTICLE XI
APPOINTMENT OF GENERAL PARTNER AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT
Section 11.01Power of Attorney. Each Limited Partner hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the General Partner as that Limited Partner’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, and with the General Partner having full power and authority in its name, place and stead to execute, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file, and record at the appropriate public offices, such certificates, instruments and documents as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Agreement or effectuate any action taken by or on behalf of the Partnership, including, but not limited to:
(a)All certificates and other instruments (including, without limitation, counterparts of this Agreement and the Partnership’s Certificate and fictitious name certificates), and any amendment thereof, which the General Partner deems appropriate to qualify or continue the Partnership as a limited partnership in the jurisdictions in which the Partnership may conduct business or to comply with any applicable law or regulations;
(b)All instruments which the General Partner deems appropriate to reflect a change or modification of the Partnership in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(e)All conveyances and other instruments which the General Partner deems appropriate to reflect the dissolution and termination of the Partnership.
Section 11.02Survival of Power of Attorney. The appointment by all Limited Partners of the General Partner as attorney-in-fact shall be deemed to be powers coupled with an interest, in recognition of the fact that each of the Partners under this Agreement will be relying upon the power of the General Partner to act as contemplated by this Agreement in any filing and other action by them on behalf of the Partnership and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, survive the Bankruptcy, death, or incompetence of any Partner hereby giving such power and the transfer or assignment of all or any part of the interest of such Partner; provided, however, that in the event of the transfer by a Limited Partner of all or any part of the Limited Partner’s interest, the foregoing power-of-attorney of the transferor Limited Partner shall survive such transfer only until such time, if any, as the transferee shall have been admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner and all required documents and instruments shall have been duly executed, filed, and recorded to effect such substitution.
ARTICLE XII
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 12.01Amendments. No amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless such amendment is proposed in writing by the General Partner and the written consent of a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners is obtained with respect thereto pursuant to the Act, except that amendments may be adopted by the General Partner, without consent of a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners, to (a) effect changes of an administrative or ministerial nature or to cure ambiguities or inconsistencies in the Agreement, (b) admit or withdraw one or more Partners in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (c) make changes to this Agreement negotiated with Limited Partners admitted to the Partnership after the Initial Closing so long as such changes do not materially adversely affect the rights and obligations of any existing Limited Partner, or (d) change the name of the Partnership. The General Partner shall furnish each Limited Partner with a copy of each amendment to this Agreement promptly after its adoption.
Section 12.02Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party hereto to exercise any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power, or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power, or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.
Section 12.03Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.
Section 12.04Controlling Law. This Agreement and all questions relating to its validity, interpretation, performance, and enforcement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, notwithstanding any conflict of law provisions to the contrary.
(a)Each Limited Partner shall maintain the confidentiality of (i) Non-Public Information (as defined below), (ii) any information subject to a confidentiality agreement binding upon the General Partner or the Partnership of which such Limited Partner has provided written notice and (iii) the identity of other Limited Partners and their Affiliates so long as such information has not become otherwise publicly available unless, after reasonable notice to the Partnership by the Limited Partner, otherwise compelled by court order or other legal process or in response to other governmentally imposed reporting or disclosure obligations including, without limitation, any act regarding the freedom of information to which it may be subject; provided, that, for any bona fide business purpose reasonably related to its Interest in the Partnership, each Limited Partner may disclose Non-Public Information to its Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, professional consultants, and regulators upon notification to such Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, consultants, or regulators that such disclosure is made in confidence and shall be kept in confidence; provided, further, that each Limited Partner shall be liable for any subsequent disclosure of any such Non-Public Information disclosed by it to any such Person.
(b)As used in this 0, “Non-Public Information” means information regarding the Partnership, the General Partner, the Investment Manager, their respective Affiliates, any investment in a Property or potential investment, any existing or potential investment in a Property, or any existing or potential counterparty of the Partnership or source of existing or potential investments in Properties received by such Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement, but does not include information that was publicly known when received by such Limited Partner, subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Limited Partner or is disclosed to such Limited Partner by a third party not known to such Limited Partner to be bound by any confidentiality obligation. The General Partner may not disclose the identities of the Limited Partners, except on a confidential basis to prospective and other Limited Partners in the Partnership, or to lenders, third-party partners, or other financial sources. In the event a Limited Partner receives a request for the disclosure of information under freedom of information acts or similar statutes that is Non-Public Information, the Limited Partner shall (i) promptly notify the Partnership and the General Partner of the existence, terms, and circumstances surrounding such request, (ii) consult with the Partnership and the General Partner regarding taking steps to resist or narrow such request, (iii) if disclosure of such information is required, furnish only such portion of such information as such Limited Partner is advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed, and (iv) cooperate with the Partnership and the General Partner in their efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the information that is required to be disclosed. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, the General Partner may withhold disclosure of any Non-Public Information (other than this Agreement or tax reports) to any Limited Partner if the General Partner reasonably determines that the disclosure of such Non-Public Information to such Limited Partner may result in the public disclosure of such Non-Public Information, and in such case the General Partner will use commercially reasonable efforts to make such information available to such Limited Partner through an alternate means; provided that such information will not thereby become subject to public disclosure.
Section 12.06Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given, made, and received only when delivered (personally, by courier service such as UPS, or by other messenger) or when deposited in the United States mails, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the Partnership at its principal place of business and addressed to any other party at the addresses listed below.
