to any person (or the estate or personal representative of any person) including, without
limitation, the Partner who was or is a Party (as defined in Section 7.5 below) to or is threatened
to be made a Party to, any Proceeding, whether or not by or in the right of the Partnership, by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a Partner or an officer, employee, or agent of the

alleged cause of action accrued at any time prior to such repeal or modification. If
5
an amendment to the Act hereafter limits or restricts in any way the indemnification rights
permitted by law as of the date hereof, such amendment shall apply only to the extent mandated by
law and only to activities of persons subject to indemnification under this Article VII which
occur subsequent to the effective date of such amendment.

shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Partnership
shall nevertheless indemnify each officer, employee, or agent of the Partnership as to any
Liability incurred or other amounts paid with respect to any Proceeding, including without
limitation, a grand jury Proceeding and any Proceeding by or in the right of the Partnership, to
the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VII that shall not have been

reports or statements presented to the Partnership by any officer, employee or other
representative of the Partnership, or by any other person as to matters such officer,
