To the fullest extent permitted by law, the General Partner shall have no duty or obligation to propose or approve, and may decline to propose or approve, the conduct by the Partnership of any business free of any fiduciary duty or obligation whatsoever to the Partnership or any Limited Partner or BUC Holder 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 Act or any other law, rule, or regulation or at equity.

PARTNERS AND CAPITAL

Section 3.01. General Partner.

(a) The name, address, and Capital Contribution of the General Partner are set forth in Schedule A. The General Partner, as such, shall not be required to make any additional Capital Contribution to the Partnership, except as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 3.01.

(b) Upon the dissolution and termination of the Partnership, the General Partner will contribute to the Partnership an amount equal to the lesser of (i) any deficit balance in its Capital Account or (ii) the excess of (A) 1.01% of the Capital Contributions of the Limited Partners to the Partnership (including the Capital Contribution of the Initial Limited Partner made on behalf of the BUC Holders) over (B) the amount of previous Capital Contributions made by the General Partner to the Partnership.

Section 3.02. Limited Partner. The name, address, and Capital Contribution of the Limited Partner are as set forth in Schedule A. The Capital Contribution made by the Initial Limited Partner shall be deemed to have been made on behalf of, and as trustee for, the BUC Holders. Neither the Initial Limited Partner nor the BUC Holders shall be required to make any additional Capital Contribution to the Partnership. Other than to serve as Initial Limited Partner, the Initial Limited Partner shall have no other business purpose and shall not engage in any other activity or incur any debts. The Initial Limited Partner agrees not to amend its articles of incorporation with respect to the incurrence of debt without the written Consent of a majority in interest of the BUC Holders.

Section 3.03. Partnership Capital.

(a) No BUC Holder shall be paid interest on any Capital Contribution.

(b) Except as specifically provided in Section 6.03 and 6.04, or as provided pursuant to the terms of any Partnership Security authorized to be issued by the Partnership pursuant to Sections 5.02(a)(iii) and 5.02(d) hereof, the Partnership shall not be required to redeem or repurchase any Partnership Interest or BUC and no Partner or BUC Holder shall have the right to withdraw, or receive any return of, his Capital Contribution. Under circumstances requiring a return of any Capital Contribution, no Partner or BUC Holder will have the right to receive property other than cash.

(c) No BUC Holder shall have any priority over any other Limited Partner or BUC Holder as to the return of his Capital Contribution or as to distributions.

(d) The General Partner shall have no liability for the repayment of the Capital Contributions.

Section 3.04. Liability of Partners and BUC Holders. No Limited Partner or BUC Holder shall be required to lend any funds to the Partnership or, after his Capital Contribution has been paid, to make any further Capital Contribution to the Partnership. The liability of any Limited Partner or BUC Holder for the losses, debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership shall, so long as the Limited Partner or BUC Holder complies with Section 5.01(b), be limited to his Capital Contribution and his share of any undistributed Income of the Partnership. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is possible that, under applicable law, a Limited Partner or BUC Holder may be liable to the Partnership to the extent of previous distributions made to such Limited Partner or BUC Holder if such distributions have caused the liabilities of the Partnership to exceed the fair value of its assets. To the extent that the Initial Limited Partner is required by law to return any distributions or repay any amount, each BUC Holder who has received any portion of such distributions agrees, by virtue of accepting such distribution, to pay his proportionate share of such amount to the Initial Limited Partner immediately upon Notice by the Initial Limited Partner to such BUC Holder. In lieu of requiring return of such distributions from BUC Holders, the General Partner may withhold future distributions of Net Interest Income, Net Residual Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds until the amount so withheld equals the amount of the distributions the Initial Limited Partner is required to repay or return regardless of whether the BUC Holders entitled to receive such distribution were the same BUC Holders who actually received the distribution required to be returned. In the event that the Initial Limited Partner is determined to have unlimited liability for losses, debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership, nothing set forth in this Section shall be construed to require BUC Holders to assume any portion of such liability.

Section 3.05. Splits and Combinations.

(a) Subject to Section 3.05(d), the Partnership may make a pro rata distribution of Partnership Securities to all BUC Holders or may effect a subdivision or combination of Partnership Securities so long as, after any such event, each Partner shall have the same percentage interest in the Partnership as before such event, and any amounts calculated on a per BUC basis or stated as a number of BUCs are proportionately adjusted.

(b) Whenever such a distribution, subdivision, or combination of Partnership Securities is declared, the General Partner shall select a record date as of which the distribution, subdivision, or combination shall be effective and shall send notice thereof at least 20 days prior to such record date to each BUC Holder as of a date not less than 10 days prior to the date of such notice. The General Partner also may cause a firm of independent public accountants selected by it to calculate the number of Partnership Securities to be held by each BUC Holder after giving effect to such distribution, subdivision, or combination. The General Partner shall be entitled to rely on any certificate provided by such firm as conclusive evidence of the accuracy of such calculation.

(c) Promptly following any such distribution, subdivision, or combination, the Partnership may issue certificates or other evidence of the issuance of uncertificated BUCs in book entry form, to the BUC Holders and other holders of Partnership Securities as of the applicable record date representing the new number of Partnership Securities held by such holders, or the General Partner may adopt such other procedures that it determines to be necessary or appropriate to reflect such changes. If any such combination results in a smaller total number of Partnership Securities Outstanding, the Partnership shall require, as a condition to the delivery to a BUC Holder or other holder of Partnership Securities of such new certificate or other evidence of the issuance of uncertificated BUCs, the surrender of any certificate or other evidence of the issuance of uncertificated BUCs held by such holder immediately prior to such record date.

(d) The Partnership shall not issue fractional BUCs upon any distribution, subdivision, or combination of BUCs. If a distribution, subdivision, or combination of BUCs would result in the issuance of fractional BUCs but for the provisions of this Section 3.05(d), each fractional BUC shall be rounded to the nearest whole BUC (and a 0.5 BUC shall be rounded to the next higher BUC).

Section 3.06. Fully Paid and Non-Assessable Nature of Limited Partnership Interests. All Limited Partnership Interests issued pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement shall be fully paid and non-assessable Limited Partnership Interests in the Partnership, except as such non-assessability may be affected by Section 17-607 of the Act.

(b) Loss arising from a Repayment or a sale or other disposition of a Mortgage Investment or Tax Exempt Investment or from the liquidation of Partnership assets shall be allocated among the Partners (including the Initial Limited Partner on behalf of the BUC Holders) in the same manner as Net Residual Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds are allocated among the Partners pursuant to Section 4.02.

Section 4.05. Determination of Allocations and Distributions Among Limited Partners and BUC Holders.

(a) As of each Monthly Record Date during the term of the Partnership, a determination shall be made of the amount of Income and Loss which, under the Partnership’s method of accounting, is properly attributable to the month to which such Monthly Record Date relates and which was allocable to the Limited Partners and BUC Holders as a class in accordance with Sections 4.04 and 4.05.

(c) All allocations to the Limited Partners and the BUC Holders as a class pursuant to Section 4.03 shall be made on a monthly basis among the Limited Partners or BUC Holders who held of record a Limited Partnership Interest or BUC as of the Monthly Record Date in the ratio that (i) the number of Limited Partnership Interests or BUCs held of record by each such Limited Partner or BUC Holder as of the Monthly Record Date bears to (ii) the aggregate number of Limited Partnership Interests and BUCs outstanding on each such Monthly Record Date.

(d) All allocations to the Limited Partners and the BUC Holders as a class pursuant to Section 4.04 shall be made among the Limited Partners or BUC Holders of record on the Monthly Record Date for the month during which the Income or Expense arose from a Repayment, sale or other liquidation of a Mortgage Investment or Tax Exempt Investment or liquidation of the Partnership, in the ratio that (i) the number of Limited Partnership Interests or BUCs held of record by each such Limited Partner or BUC Holder on such Monthly Record Date bears to (ii) the number of Limited Partnership Interests or BUCs outstanding on such Monthly Record Date.

(e) Net Interest Income and Net Residual Proceeds will be allocated to the Limited Partners or BUC Holders of record on the last day of the Distribution Period (or, if the General Partner so elects, on each Monthly Record Date during such Distribution Period) in the ratio that (i) the number of Limited Partnership Interests or BUCs owned of record by each such Limited Partner or BUC Holder on each such date bears to (ii) the number of Limited Partnership Interests or BUCs outstanding on such date.

Section 4.06. Capital Accounts. A separate Capital Account shall be maintained and adjusted for each Partner in accordance with the Code and the Regulations. There shall be credited to each Partner’s Capital Account the amount of such Partner’s Capital Contribution and such Partner’s share of Income; and there shall be charged against each Partner’s Capital Account the amount of such Partner’s share of Loss and cash distributions.

Section 4.07. Rights to Distributions. Each holder of Partnership Interests and BUCs shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for all distributions with respect to the Partnership, his Capital Contributions and his share of Net Interest Income, Net Residual Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds and, except as provided in Section 3.01(b), shall have no recourse therefor, upon dissolution or otherwise, against the General Partner or the Initial Limited Partner. No Partner or BUC Holder shall have any right to demand or receive property other than cash upon dissolution and termination of the Partnership. All distributions pursuant to this Article IV are subject to the provisions of Section 3.04.

Subject to the provisions of this Article V, the General Partner may delegate all or any of its powers, rights and obligations under this Agreement and may appoint, employ, contract or otherwise deal with any Person for the transaction of the business of the Partnership, which Person may, under supervision of the General Partner, perform any acts or services for the Partnership as the General Partner may approve.

Neither the Partnership nor the Partners or BUC Holders shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in or to such other business ventures or to the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such ventures, even if competitive with the business of the Partnership, shall not be deemed wrongful, improper, or a breach of any duty under this Agreement.

Section 5.09. Limitation on Liability of the General Partner and Initial Limited Partner; Indemnification.

(a) Neither the General Partner, the Initial Limited Partner nor their Affiliates (including the officers, managers and members of the general partner of AFCA) shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Partnership or to any of the Limited Partners or BUC Holders for any act or omission performed or omitted by such General Partner or Initial Limited Partner in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by it to be within the scope of the authority granted to it by this Agreement and in the best interests of the Partnership. The Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the General Partner, the Initial Limited Partner and their Affiliates (including the officers, managers and members of the general partner of AFCA) (each, an “Indemnitee,” and collectively, the “Indemnitees”) against and for any loss, liability or damage incurred by any of them or the Partnership by reason of any act performed or omitted to be performed by any of them in connection with the business of the Partnership, including all judgments, costs and attorneys’ fees (which attorneys’ fees may be paid as incurred, except as provided in 5.09(b)) and any amounts expended in settlement of any claims of liability, loss or damage; provided that, the Indemnitee shall not be indemnified and held harmless 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 Section 5.09(a), the Indemnitee’s conduct constituted Cause. The satisfaction of any indemnification obligation shall be from and limited to Partnership assets, and no Limited

Partner or BUC Holder shall have any personal liability on account thereof. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding, by judgment or settlement, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which is reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Partnership. Any indemnification under this subsection, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the Partnership only upon a determination by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection to the contrary, the General Partner shall be presumed to be personally liable to creditors for the debts of the Partnership.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.09(a), neither the General Partner, the Initial Limited Partner nor any officer, director, manager, partner, member, employee, agent, Affiliate, subsidiary or assign of the General Partner, the Initial Limited Partner or the Partnership shall be indemnified with regard to any liability, loss or damage incurred by them in connection with any claim or settlement involving allegations that the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws were violated by the General Partner or by any such other Person unless: (i)(A) the General Partner or other Persons seeking indemnification are successful in defending such action on the merits of each count involving such violation, (B) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction or (C) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of such claims; and (ii) such indemnification is specifically approved by a court of law which shall have been advised as to the then current position of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding indemnification for violations of securities laws.

(c) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnitee shall have any duties or liabilities, including fiduciary duties, to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, BUC Holder, or assignee, and the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent they restrict, eliminate, or otherwise modify the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties, of the General Partner or any other Indemnitee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of the General Partner or such other Indemnitee.

Section 5.10. Special Amendments to the Agreement.

(a) Any provision to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the General Partner may, without the Consent of the Limited Partners or BUC Holders, amend Sections 4.03, 4.04, and 4.05 of this Agreement on the advice of Counsel or the Accountants and upon Notice to the Limited Partners and BUC Holders mailed 10 days prior to the proposed effectiveness of such amendment (unless earlier effectiveness is required by law) to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with the Code and Regulations then in effect, provided that such amendments do not materially adversely affect the interests of the Limited Partners and BUC Holders in the sole determination of the General Partner.

(b) New allocations made by the General Partner in reliance upon the advice of Counsel or the Accountants pursuant to Section 5.10(a) shall be deemed to be made

pursuant to the duties and obligations of the General Partner to the Partnership, the Limited Partners, and the BUC Holders under this Agreement, and no such new allocation shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by any Limited Partner or BUC Holder.

(c) The General Partner may take such action as it deems necessary or appropriate, including action with respect to the manner in which BUCs are being or may be transferred or traded, in order to preserve the status of the Partnership as a partnership rather than an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or to insure that BUC Holders will be treated as limited partners for federal income tax purposes.

ARTICLE VI

CHANGES IN GENERAL PARTNERS

Section 6.01. Withdrawal of General Partner. The General Partner shall not be entitled to voluntarily withdraw from the Partnership or to sell, transfer, or assign all or any portion of its Partnership Interest as General Partner unless a substitute General Partner has been admitted in accordance with the conditions of Section 6.02.

Section 6.02. Admission of a Successor or Additional General Partner. The General Partner may at any time designate additional Persons to be General Partners, whose Partnership Interest in the Partnership shall be such as shall be agreed upon by the General Partner and such additional General Partners, provided that the Partnership Interests of the Limited Partners and the BUC Holders shall not be reduced thereby. A Person shall be admitted as a General Partner of the Partnership only if each of the following conditions is satisfied:

(a) The admission of such Person shall have been Consented to by the Limited Partners (including the Initial Limited Partner voting on behalf of the BUC Holders) holding a majority of the Outstanding Limited Partnership Interests, voting as a single class;

(b) such Person shall have accepted and agreed to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement by executing a counterpart hereof, and such documents or instruments as may be required or appropriate in order to effect the admission of such Person as a General Partner shall have been filed for recording, and all other actions required by law in connection with such admission shall have been performed;

(c) if such Person is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or other entity, it shall have provided the Partnership evidence satisfactory to Counsel of its authority to become a General Partner and to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and

(d) the Partnership shall have received a Withdrawal Opinion of Counsel, which also shall provide that the admission of such Person is in conformity with the Act and that none of the actions taken in connection with the admission of such Person is in violation of the Act.

Section 6.03. Removal of a General Partner. The General Partner may be removed if such removal is Consented to by the Limited Partners (including the Initial Limited Partner voting on behalf of the BUC Holders) holding at least 66^2/3% of the Outstanding Limited Partnership Interests (including Limited Partnership Interests held by the General Partner and its Affiliates), voting as a single class. Any such action by such holders for removal of the General Partner must also provide for the election of a successor General Partner by the Limited Partners holding a majority of the Outstanding Limited Partnership Interests voting as a single class (including Limited Partnership Interests held by the General Partner and its Affiliates). Such removal shall be effective immediately following the admission of a successor General Partner pursuant to Section 6.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of the holders of Outstanding Limited Partnership Interests to remove the General Partner shall not exist or be exercised unless the Partnership has received a Withdrawal Opinion of Counsel. Any successor General Partner elected in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.03 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.02.

Section 6.04. Interest of Departing General Partner and Successor General Partner.

(a) In the event of (i) withdrawal of the General Partner under circumstances where such withdrawal does not violate this Agreement, or (ii) removal of the General Partner by the holders of Outstanding Limited Partnership Interests under circumstances where Cause does not exist, if the successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Section 6.02 or 6.03, the Departing General Partner shall have the option, exercisable prior to the effective date of the withdrawal or removal of such Departing General Partner, to require its successor to purchase its General Partner Interest and all of its General Partner Distribution Rights (collectively, the “Combined Interest”) in exchange for an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of such Combined Interest, such amount to be determined and payable as of the effective date of its withdrawal or removal. If the General Partner is removed by the Limited Partners under circumstances where Cause exists or if the General Partner withdraws under circumstances where such withdrawal violates this Agreement, and if a successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Section 6.02 or 6.03, such successor shall have the option, exercisable prior to the effective date of the withdrawal or removal of such Departing General Partner, to purchase the Combined Interest for the fair market value of such Combined Interest of the Departing General Partner. In either event, the Departing General Partner shall be entitled to receive all reimbursements due such Departing General Partner pursuant to Section 5.05.

For purposes of this Section 6.04(a), the fair market value of the Departing General Partner’s Combined Interest shall be the sum of (i) the present value of future Administrative Fees and Net Interest Income which would be paid to the Departing General Partner if the General Partner would not have withdrawn or been removed, and (ii) the amount the Departing General Partner would receive upon dissolution and termination of the Partnership, assuming that such dissolution or termination occurred on the date of the withdrawal or removal, as the case may be, and the assets of the Partnership were sold for their then fair market value without any compulsion on the part of the Partnership to sell such assets. The fair market value of such Departing General

Partner’s Combined Interest shall be determined by agreement between the Departing General Partner and its successor or, failing agreement within 30 days after the effective date of such Departing General Partner’s withdrawal or removal, by an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert selected by the Departing General Partner and its successor, which, in turn, may rely on other experts, and the determination of which shall be conclusive as to such matter. If such parties cannot agree upon one independent investment banking firm or other independent expert within 45 days after the effective date of such departure, then the Departing General Partner shall designate an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert, the Departing General Partner’s successor shall designate an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert, and such firms or experts shall mutually select a third independent investment banking firm or independent expert, which third independent investment banking firm or other independent expert shall determine the fair market value of the Combined Interest of the Departing General Partner. In making its determination, such third independent investment banking firm or other independent expert may consider the then current trading price of BUCs on any national securities exchange on which BUCs are then listed or admitted to trading, the value of the Partnership’s assets, the rights and obligations of the Departing General Partner, and other factors it may deem relevant.

(b) If the Combined Interest is not purchased in the manner set forth in Section 6.04(a), the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) shall become a BUC Holder and its Combined Interest shall be converted into BUCs pursuant to a valuation made by an investment banking firm or other independent expert selected pursuant to Section 6.04(a), without reduction in such BUCs (but subject to proportionate dilution by reason of the admission of its successor). Any successor General Partner shall indemnify the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) as to all debts and liabilities of the Partnership arising on or after the date on which the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) becomes a BUC Holder. For purposes of this Agreement, conversion of the Combined Interest of the Departing General Partner into BUCs will be characterized as if the Initial Limited Partner (on behalf of the Departing General Partner (or its transferee)) contributed the Combined Interest to the Partnership in exchange for the newly issued BUCs for the account of the Departing General Partner.

(c) If a successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Section 6.02 or 6.03 and the option described in Section 6.04(a) is not exercised by the party entitled to do so, the successor General Partner shall, at the effective date of its admission to the Partnership, contribute to the Partnership cash in the amount equal to the product of (i) the GP Percentage Interest of the Departing General Partner, and (ii) the Net Agreed Value of the Partnership’s assets on such date. In such event, such successor General Partner shall be entitled to its share of all Partnership allocations and distributions to which the Departing General Partner was entitled, and the successor General Partner shall cause this Agreement to be amended to reflect its entitlement to such share of Partnership allocations and distributions.

(d) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, if the General Partner is removed as general partner of the Partnership under circumstances where Cause does not exist and all the Limited Partnership Interests held by the General Partner

and its Affiliates are not voted in favor of such removal, then the General Partner shall have the right to convert its General Partner Interest and its General Partner Distribution Rights into BUCs or receive cash in exchange therefor from the Partnership.

Section 6.05. Effect of Incapacity of a General Partner.

(a) Upon the Incapacity of a General Partner, such General Partner shall immediately cease to be a General Partner. If the Incapacitated General Partner is not the sole General Partner, the business of the Partnership shall be continued by the remaining General Partner who shall immediately (i) give Notice to the Limited Partners and BUC Holders of such Incapacity and (ii) prepare such amendments to this Agreement and execute and file for recording such amendments or documents or other instruments necessary to reflect the assignment, transfer, termination or conversion (as the case may be) of the Partnership Interest of the Incapacitated General Partner. If the Incapacitated General Partner is the sole General Partner, the provisions of Section 8.01(a)(i) shall be applicable.

(b) Nothing in this Section 6.05 shall affect any rights, including the rights to the payment of any fees under this Agreement, of the Incapacitated General Partner which matured or were earned prior to the Incapacity of such General Partner. Such Incapacitated General Partner shall remain liable for all obligations and liabilities incurred by it as General Partner before such Incapacity shall have become effective, but shall be free from any obligations or liability as General Partner incurred on account of the activities of the Partnership from and after the time such Incapacity shall have become effective.

(c) The Partnership Interest of an Incapacitated General Partner shall be converted into that of a Limited Partner with the same rights under Article IV as such Incapacitated General Partner has prior to its Incapacity to share in Income, Loss, Net Interest Income, Net Residual Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds. However, any Incapacitated General Partner which becomes a Limited Partner pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall not have the right to participate in the management of the affairs of the Partnership or to vote on any matter requiring the Consent of the Limited Partners and shall not be entitled to any portion of the Income, Loss, Net Interest Income, Net Residual Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds payable to the class comprised of Limited Partners and BUC Holders. Notwithstanding the conversion of a Incapacitated General Partner’s Partnership Interest, a successor or remaining General Partner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire the Partnership Interest of the Incapacitated General Partner at the then fair market value of such Partnership Interest The fair market value of the Incapacitated General Partner’s Partnership Interest shall be the sum of (i) the present value of future administrative fees and Net Interest Income which would be paid to the Incapacitated General Partner if the Incapacity had not occurred and (ii) the amount the Incapacitated General Partner would receive upon dissolution and termination of the Partnership, assuming that such dissolution or termination occurred on the date of the event causing the Incapacity and the assets of the Partnership were sold for their then fair market value without any compulsion on the part of the Partnership to sell such assets. The fair market value of such Partnership Interest shall be determined by

agreement of the Incapacitated General Partner and the successor or remaining General Partner or, if they cannot agree, by arbitration in accordance with the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association. The expense of arbitration shall be borne equally by the Incapacitated General Partner and the successor or remaining General Partner.

(d) All parties hereto hereby agree to take all actions and to execute all documents necessary or appropriate to effect the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.05.

ARTICLE VII

TRANSFERABILITY OF BUCS AND LIMITED PARTNERS’ INTERESTS

Section 7.01. Free Transferability of BUCs.

(a) BUCs shall be issued in registered form only and shall be freely transferable (subject to compliance with federal or state securities law and Section 7.02 or 11.04 of this Agreement); provided, however, nothing in this Agreement shall impose any obligation on the General Partner, the Partnership, or any transfer agent to restrict or place conditions on the transfer of BUCs.

(b) BUCs may be transferred only on the books and records of the Partnership.

(c) A Person shall be recognized as a BUC Holder for all purposes on the books and records of the Partnership as of the day on which the General Partner (or other transfer agent appointed by the General Partner) receives evidence of the transfer of a BUC to such Person which is satisfactory to the General Partner. All BUC Holder rights, including voting rights, rights to receive distributions and rights to receive reports, and all allocations in respect of BUC Holders, including allocations of Income and Loss, will vest in, and be allocable to, each BUC Holder as of the close of business on such day.

(d) In order to record a transfer of a BUC on the Partnership’s books and records, the General Partner may require such evidence of transfer or assignment and authority of the transferor or assignor, including signature guarantees, and such additional documentation as the General Partner may determine.

(e) The General Partner is hereby authorized to do all things necessary in order to register the BUCs under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to qualify the BUCs with state securities regulatory authorities or to perfect exemptions from qualification, to cause the BUCs to be listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market or another national securities exchange and to any other actions necessary to allow the resale of BUCs by the BUC Holders.

Section 7.02. Restrictions on Transfers of BUCs and of Interests of Limited Partners Other Than the Initial Limited Partner.

(a) If any sale, assignment, pledge or transfer of a Limited Partnership Interest, other than by the Initial Limited Partner, or of a BUC, when considered with all other sales, assignments, pledges or transfers of Partnership Interests and BUCs within the previous 12-month period, may result in the transfer (within the meaning of Section 708 of the Code and Regulations promulgated thereunder) of more than 45% of the Partnership Interest and BUCs, then the sale, assignment, pledge or transfer of a Limited Partnership Interest or a BUC may be suspended or deferred by the General Partner; provided, however, that, the General Partner will have no obligation to suspend or defer any such sale, assignment, pledge or transfer. The seller, assignor, pledgor or transferor shall be notified of such deferral, and any transaction deferred pursuant to this provision shall be effected (in chronological order to the extent practicable) as of the first day of the next succeeding period as of which such transaction can be effected without either termination of the Partnership for tax purposes or any material adverse effects from such termination. In the event transactions are suspended, the General Partner shall give written Notice of such suspension to all Limited Partners and BUC Holders as soon as practicable.

(b) A Limited Partner (other than the Initial Limited Partner) may assign his Limited Partnership Interests only by a duly executed written instrument of assignment, the terms of which are not in contravention of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Within 30 days after an assignment of Limited Partnership Interests (other than by the Initial Limited Partner) which occurs without a transfer of record ownership of such Limited Partnership Interests, the assignor shall give Notice of such assignment to the General Partner.

(c) The provisions of this Section 7.02 and of Section 7.03 shall not apply to the transfer and assignment by the Initial Limited Partner of Limited Partnership Interests to BUC Holders in accordance with Section 11.01(a).

Section 7.03. Assignees of Limited Partners Other Than the Initial Limited Partner.

(a) If a Limited Partner other than the Initial Limited Partner dies, his executor, administrator or trustee, or, if he is adjudicated incompetent, his committee, guardian or conservator, or, if he becomes Bankrupt, the trustee or receiver of his estate, shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner for the purpose of settling or managing his estate and such power as the deceased or incompetent Limited Partner possessed to assign all or any part of his Limited Partnership Interests and to join with the assignee thereof in satisfying any conditions precedent to such assignee becoming a Limited Partner. The Incapacity of a Limited Partner shall not dissolve the Partnership.

(b) The Partnership need not recognize for any purpose any assignment of all or any fraction of the Limited Partnership Interests of a Limited Partner other than the Initial Limited Partner unless there shall have been filed with the Partnership and

recorded on the Partnership’s books a duly executed and acknowledged counterpart of the instrument effecting such assignment, and unless such instrument evidences the written acceptance by the assignee of all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, contains a representation that such assignment was made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations (including any investor suitability requirements) and in all other respects is satisfactory in form and substance to the General Partner.

(c) Any Limited Partner other than the Initial Limited Partner who shall assign all of his Limited Partnership Interests shall cease to be a Limited Partner of the Partnership, except that unless and until a Limited Partner is admitted in his place, such assigning Limited Partner shall retain the statutory rights and liabilities of an assignor of a limited partnership interest under the Act.

(d) An assignee of Limited Partnership Interests (other than a BUC Holder) may become a Limited Partner only if each of the following conditions is satisfied:

(i) the instrument of assignment sets forth the intentions of the assignor that the assignee succeed to the assignor’s Limited Partnership Interest in his place;

(ii) the assignee shall have fulfilled the requirements of Sections 7.03(b) and 12.03(b);

(iii) the assignee shall have paid all reasonable legal fees and filing costs incurred by the Partnership in connection with his substitution as a Limited Partner; and

(iv) the assignee shall have received the Consent of the General Partner, which Consent the General Partner may withhold in its sole discretion.

(e) This Agreement and the Certificate shall be amended as necessary to recognize the admission of any Limited Partners and shall be submitted in a timely manner for filing with the Delaware Secretary of State. Assignees of Limited Partnership Interests (other than a BUC Holder) shall be recognized as such, to the extent set forth in Section 7.03(b) or 7.03(d), as of the day on which the Partnership has received the instrument of assignment and all of the other conditions to the assignment are satisfied.

(f) An assignee of Limited Partnership Interests (other than a BUC Holder) who does not become a Limited Partner and who desires to make a further assignment of his Limited Partnership Interests shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Article VII to the same extent and in the same manner as a Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of Limited Partnership Interests.

Section 7.04. Joint Ownership of Interests. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, a Limited Partnership Interest or BUC may be acquired by two or more Persons, who shall, at the time they acquire such Limited Partnership Interest or BUC, indicate to the Partnership whether the Limited Partnership Interest or BUC is being held by them as joint tenants with the right of survivorship, as tenants-in-common or as community property. In the

absence of any such designation, joint owners shall be presumed to hold such Limited Partnership Interest or BUC as tenants-in-common. The Consent of such joint Limited Partners or BUC Holders shall not require the action or vote of all owners of any such jointly held Limited Partnership Interest or BUC.

ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.01. Events Causing Dissolution.

(a) The Partnership shall dissolve upon the happening of any of the following events:

(i) ninety days following the Incapacity of a General Partner who is at that time the sole General Partner, unless all of the remaining Partners (it being understood that, notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, for purposes of this provision the Initial Limited Partner shall act solely in accordance with the direction of a majority in interest of the BUC Holders) agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and a successor General Partner satisfying the standards set forth in Section 6.02 is designated within 90 days of the occurrence of such an Incapacity;

(ii) the election by a majority in interest of the Limited Partners (including the Initial Limited Partner voting on behalf of the BUC Holders) pursuant to Section 10.02(a)(iii) or the election by the General Partner to dissolve the Partnership pursuant to Section 5.04(e) with the Consent of a majority in interest of the Limited Partners thereto; or

(iii) any other event causing the dissolution of the Partnership under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(b) Dissolution of the Partnership shall be effective on the day on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Partnership shall not terminate until a certificate of cancellation is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and the assets of the Partnership are distributed as provided in Section 8.02. Notwithstanding the dissolution of the Partnership, prior to the termination of the Partnership, the business of the Partnership and the affairs of the Partners shall continue to be governed by this Agreement.

(c) The obligations imposed on the General Partner by Article IX of the Agreement will cease upon the termination of the Partnership.

Section 8.02. Liquidation.

(a) Upon dissolution of the Partnership, unless all of the Partners elect to re-form the Partnership (it being understood that, notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, for purposes of this provision the Initial Limited Partner shall act solely in

accordance with the direction of a majority in interest of the BUC Holders), the General Partner shall liquidate the assets of the Partnership and shall apply and distribute the proceeds thereof as contemplated by this Section 8.02 and Article IV and cause the cancellation of the Certificate in accordance with the Act.

(b) After payment of the expenses of the liquidation and of liabilities owing to creditors of the Partnership (including the repayment of any loans from the General Partner or its Affiliates), the General Partner may set aside as a reserve such amount as it deems reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership which may be paid over by the General Partner to a bank, to be held in escrow for the purpose of paying any such contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations, and, at the expiration of such period as the General Partner may deem advisable, the amount in such reserve shall be distributed in the manner set forth in Section 4.02(b) among the Partners and BUC Holders who would have been entitled to receive such amounts had such amounts not been placed in such reserves.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the General Partner or liquidator shall determine that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would cause undue loss to the Partners or the BUC Holders, the General Partner or liquidator may, after giving Notice to the Limited Partners and BUC Holders, and to the extent not then prohibited by any applicable law of any jurisdiction in which the Partnership is then formed or qualified, defer liquidation and withhold from distribution for a reasonable time any assets of the Partnership, except those assets necessary to satisfy the Partnership’s debts and obligations.

ARTICLE IX

(a) Within 60 days after the end of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year, the General Partner shall send to each Person who was a Limited Partner or a BUC Holder during such quarter a balance sheet and statements of income, changes in Partners’ capital and cash flow of the Partnership (all prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles but none of which need be audited) and a statement showing distributions of Net Interest Income and Net Residual Proceeds during such quarter, which need not be audited, together with a report of the activities of the Partnership during such quarter.

The methods of verification used by the Accountants will be in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and include such tests of the accounting records and other auditing procedures which the Accountants consider appropriate. The filing of the Partnerships’ annual report (which includes the annual financial statements described in this paragraph) with the Securities Exchange Commission and the delivery of such annual report to the Limited Partners and BUC Holders shall be deemed to satisfy the delivery obligations set forth in this Section 9.03(c).

Section 9.04. Designation of Tax Matters Partner. The General Partner is hereby authorized to designate itself or any other General Partner as Tax Matters Partner of the Partnership, as provided in Section 6231 of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder. Each Partner, by execution of this Agreement, and each BUC Holder, by acceptance of his BUCs, consents to such designation of the General Partner as the Tax Matters Partner 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 the appointment of the General Partner as such.

Meetings shall be held at the principal office of the Partnership or at such other place as may be designated by the General Partner or, if the meeting is called upon the request of the Limited Partners (including the Initial Limited Partner acting on behalf of the BUC Holders), as designated by such Limited Partners (including the Initial Limited Partner acting on behalf of the BUC Holders).

(b) Notice of any meeting to be held pursuant to Section 10.01(a) shall be given (in person or by U.S. mail) within 10 days of the receipt by the General Partner of the request for such meeting to each Limited Partner at his record address, or at such other address which he may have furnished in writing to the General Partner and to the BUC Holders at the address shown on the Partnership’s books and records kept in accordance with Section 9.01. Such Notice shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and shall indicate that the Notice is being issued at the direction of, or by, the Partner(s) calling the meeting. The Notice shall state the record date established in Section 10.01(c) and state the purpose of the meeting. If a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, and if an announcement of the adjournment of time or place is made at the meeting, it shall not be necessary to give Notice of the adjourned meeting. The presence in person or by proxy of the Limited Partners holding a majority of the Outstanding Limited Partnership Interests (including the Initial Limited Partner acting for and at the direction of the BUC Holders) considered as a class shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the Partners and BUC Holders; provided, however, that, if no such quorum is present, the Limited Partners holding a majority of the Outstanding Limited Partnership Interests considered as a class (it being understood that the Initial Limited Partner shall be present at the direction of the BUC Holders and only to the extent of such direction) so present or so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further Notice, until a quorum shall have been obtained. No Notice of the time, place or purpose of any meeting of Limited Partners and BUC Holders need be given (i) to any Limited Partner or BUC Holder who attends in person or is represented by proxy, except for a Partner attending a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, or (ii) to any Limited Partner or BUC Holder entitled to such Notice who, in writing, executed and filed with the records of the meeting, either before or after the time thereof, waives such Notice.

(c) For the purpose of determining the Limited Partners entitled to vote at any meeting of the Limited Partners and BUC Holders, and the BUC Holders entitled to receive Notice of and direct the voting of the Initial Limited Partner at any such meeting,

or any adjournment thereof, or to act by written Consent without a meeting, the General Partner or the Limited Partners or the BUC Holders requesting such meeting or vote pursuant to Section 11.03(a) may fix, in advance, a date as the record date of any such determination of Limited Partners and BUC Holders. Such date shall not be more than 60 days nor less than 15 days before any such meeting or not more than 60 days prior to the initial solicitation of Consents from the Limited Partners and BUC Holders.

(d) At each meeting of Limited Partners and BUC Holders, the Limited Partners and BUC Holders present or represented by proxy shall elect such officers and adopt such rules for the conduct of such meeting as they shall deem appropriate.

Section 10.02. Voting Rights of Limited Partners and BUC Holders.

(a) Subject to Section 10.03, the Limited Partners holding a majority of the Outstanding Limited Partnership Interests (it being understood that the Initial Limited Partner shall act at the direction of the BUC Holders), without the concurrence of the General Partner, may: (i) amend this Agreement, provided that the concurrence of the General Partner shall be required for any amendment to this Agreement which modifies the compensation or distributions to which the General Partner is entitled or which affects the duties of the General Partner; (ii) approve or disapprove the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets in a single transaction in the circumstances provided by Section 5.04(c); (iii) dissolve the Partnership; and (iv) elect a successor General Partner in accordance with Section 6.02. Subject to Sections 6.03 and 10.03, the Limited Partners holding at least 66^2/3% of the Outstanding Limited Partnership Interests (it being understood that the Initial Limited Partner shall act at the direction of the BUC Holders) may remove any General Partner. Amendments to this Agreement may be proposed at any time by a writing signed by the Limited Partners holding 10% or more of the Outstanding Limited Partnership Interests (it being understood that the Initial Limited Partner will act in accordance with the direction of the BUC Holders).

(b) A Limited Partner shall be entitled to cast one vote for each Limited Partnership Interest which he owns, and a BUC Holder shall be entitled to direct the Initial Limited Partner to cast one vote for each BUC which he owns (it being understood that the Initial Limited Partner will act at the direction of the BUC Holders) at a meeting, in person, by written proxy or by a signed writing directing the manner in which he desires that his vote be cast, which writing must be received by the General Partner prior to the adjournment sine die of such meeting. In the alternative, BUC Holders may Consent to actions without a meeting, by a signed writing identifying the action taken or proposed to be taken. Every proxy must be signed by the Limited Partner or BUC Holder or his attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 12 months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Limited Partner or the BUC Holder executing it by Notice to the Person to whom the proxy was given. Written Consents may be irrevocable if stated in a writing delivered to BUC Holders at the time at which their Consent is solicited. Only the votes or Consents of Limited Partners or BUC Holders of record on the record date established pursuant to Section 10.01(c), whether at a meeting or otherwise, shall be

counted. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the General Partner shall not be entitled to vote in its capacity as General Partner. The laws of the State of Delaware pertaining to the validity and use of corporate proxies shall govern the validity and use of proxies given by the Limited Partners and BUC Holders, except to the extent such laws are inconsistent with this Agreement. The BUC Holders may give proxies only to the Initial Limited Partner. The Initial Limited Partner will vote in accordance with the directions of the BUC Holders so that each BUC will be voted separately.

(c) Reference in this Agreement to a specified percentage in interest of the Limited Partnership Interests, Limited Partners, or BUC Holders means the Limited Partnership Interests with respect to which the combined Capital Contributions (it being understood that the BUC Holders’ Capital Contributions were made by the Initial Limited Partner) represent the specified percentage of the Capital Contributions of all Limited Partners and BUC Holders.

Section 10.03. Opinion Regarding Effect of Action by Limited Partners and BUC Holders. Prior to any vote or Consent by Limited Partners or BUC Holders that might (i) materially affect the tax status of the Partnership, (ii) impair the limited liability of the Limited Partners or BUC Holders, or (iii) result in the dissolution or termination of the Partnership, the Partnership will provide Limited Partners and BUC Holders written advice from Counsel as to the possible and most likely consequences of such vote or Consent with respect thereto.

Section 10.04. Other Activities. The Limited Partners and BUC Holders may engage in or possess interests in other business ventures of every kind and description for their own accounts, including without limitation serving as general or limited partners of other partnerships which own, either directly or through interests in other partnerships, investments similar in nature to the Mortgage Investments, the Tax Exempt Investments, and the Other Investments. Neither the Partnership nor any of the Partners or BUC Holders shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in or to such business ventures or to the income or profits derived therefrom.

ARTICLE XI

ASSIGNMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS TO

BUC HOLDERS AND RIGHTS OF BUC HOLDERS

Section 11.01. Assignment of Limited Partnership Interests to BUC Holders.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Initial Limited Partner has irrevocably assigned to the Persons who were BUC Holders of the Prior Partnership as of the Merger Date, all of the Initial Limited Partner’s rights and interest in its Partnership Interest. The rights and interest so transferred and assigned include, without limitation, the following:

(i) all rights to receive distributions of Net Interest Income pursuant to Section 4.01;

(ii) all rights to receive Net Residual Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds pursuant to Section 4.02;

(iii) all rights in respect of allocations of Income and Loss pursuant to Sections 4.03 and 4.04;

(iv) all rights in respect of determinations of allocations and distributions pursuant to Section 4.05;

(v) all rights to inspect records and to receive reports pursuant to Article IX;

(vi) all rights to vote on Partnership matters pursuant to Article X; and

(vii) all rights which Limited Partners have, or may have in the future, under the Act, except as otherwise provided herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership may issue additional BUCs from time to time as determined by the General Partner, in which case the foregoing assignment will be deemed to include an assignment to the holders of such additional BUCs and such additional BUCs shall participate in the rights and interest of the Initial Limited Partner to the same extent as the BUCs existing on the Merger Date. All Persons becoming BUC Holders shall be bound by the terms and conditions of, and shall be entitled to all rights of, Limited Partners under this Agreement.

(b) The Initial Limited Partner shall remain as Initial Limited Partner on the books and records of the Partnership notwithstanding the assignment of all of its Limited Partnership Interest until such time as the Initial Limited Partner transfers its position as Initial Limited Partner to another Person with the Consent of the General Partner. Other than pursuant to Section 11.01(a), the Initial Limited Partner may not transfer or assign a Limited Partnership Interest without the prior written Consent of the General Partner.

(c) The General Partner, by the execution of this Agreement, irrevocably Consents to and acknowledges on behalf of itself and the Partnership that (i) the foregoing assignment pursuant to Section 11.01(a) by the Initial Limited Partner to the BUC Holders of the Initial Limited Partner’s rights and interest in the Limited Partnership Interests is valid and binding on the Partnership and the General Partner, and (ii) the BUC Holders are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of all rights and privileges of the Initial Limited Partner in respect of the Limited Partnership Interests. The General Partner covenants and agrees that, in accordance with the foregoing transfer and assignment, all the Initial Limited Partner’s rights and privileges in respect of the Limited Partnership Interests assigned to the BUC Holders may be exercised by the BUC Holders, including, without limitation, those listed in Section 11.01(a).

Section 11.02. Rights of BUC Holders.

(a) The Initial Limited Partner, but only with respect to its own Limited Partnership Interests, and BUC Holders shall share pari passu on the basis of one Limited Partnership Interest for one BUC, and shall be considered as a single class with respect to all rights to receive distributions of Net Interest Income, Net Residual Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, allocations of Income and Loss, and other determinations of allocations and distributions pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Limited Partners (including the Initial Limited Partner voting on behalf of the BUC Holders) shall vote on all matters in respect of which they are entitled to vote (either in person, by proxy or by written Consent), as a single class with each entitled to one vote.

(c) The General Partner shall owe the same duties under this Agreement to a BUC Holder as the General Partner owes to a Limited Partner and may xxx the General Partner to enforce the same. A BUC Holder may bring a derivative action against any Person (including the General Partner) to enforce any right of the Partnership to recover a judgment to the same extent as a Limited Partner has such a right under the Act.

(d) A BUC Holder is not a Limited Partner and has no right to be admitted to the Partnership as such.

Section 11.03. Voting by the Initial Limited Partner on Behalf of BUC Holders.

(a) Subject to Section 8.01(a)(i), the Initial Limited Partner hereby agrees that, with respect to any matter on which a vote of the Limited Partners is taken, the Consent of the Limited Partners is required, or any other action of the Limited Partners is required or permitted, it will not vote its Limited Partnership Interest or grant such Consent or take such action (other than solely administrative actions as to which the Initial Limited Partner has no discretion) except for the sole benefit of, and in accordance with the written instructions of, the BUC Holders with respect to their BUCs. The Initial Limited Partner (or the Partnership on behalf of the Initial Limited Partner) will provide Notice to the BUC Holders containing information regarding any matters to be voted upon or as to which any Consent or other action is requested or proposed. The Partnership and the General Partner hereby agree to permit BUC Holders to attend any meetings of Partners and the Initial Limited Partner shall, upon the written request of BUC Holders owning BUCs which represent in the aggregate 10% or more of all of the Outstanding BUCs, request the General Partner to call a meeting of Partners pursuant to Section 10.01 or to submit a matter to the Initial Limited Partner without a meeting pursuant to this Agreement. The General Partner shall give the BUC Holders Notice of any meeting to be held pursuant to Section 10.01(a) at the same time and manner as such Notice is required to be given to the Initial Limited Partner pursuant to Section 10.01(b).

(b) The Initial Limited Partner will exercise its right to vote or Consent to any action under this Agreement in accordance with the written instructions of holders of BUCs outstanding as of the relevant record date. In addition, holders of a majority of the

BUCs Outstanding may instruct the Initial Limited Partner to take, and upon receipt of such instruction, the Initial Limited Partner shall take, the actions permitted by Section 10.02.

(c) The Initial Limited Partner will mail to any BUC Holder (at the address shown on the Partnership’s records kept in accordance with Section 9.01(a)) any report, financial statement or other communication received from the Partnership or the General Partner with respect to the Limited Partnership Interests held by the Initial Limited Partner (including, without limitation, any financial statement or report or tax information provided pursuant to Section 9.03). In lieu of mailing of any such document by the Initial Limited Partner, the Initial Limited Partner may, at its option, request the General Partner to mail any such communications directly to the BUC Holders, and the Initial Limited Partner shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations under this Section 11.03(c) upon its receipt of written notification from the General Partner that any such communication has been mailed, postage prepaid, to all of the BUC Holders at the addresses shown on the Partnership’s records.

Section 11.04. Preservation of Tax Status. With the Consent of each BUC Holder so affected, the General Partner may at any time cause such BUC Holder to become a Limited Partner and may take such other action with respect to the manner in which BUCs are being or may be transferred or traded as it may deem necessary or appropriate, in order to preserve the status of the Partnership as a partnership rather than an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or to insure that BUC Holders will be treated as limited partners for federal income tax purposes.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 12.01. Appointment of the General Partner as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Each Limited Partner by the execution of this Agreement irrevocably constitutes and appoints, with full power of substitution, the General Partner as his true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power and authority in his name, place and xxxxx to execute, certify, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, including, but not limited to:

(i) the Certificate and amendments thereto, and all certificates and other instruments (including counterparts of this Agreement), and any amendments thereof, which any such Person deems appropriate to form, qualify or continue the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the Limited Partners will have limited liability comparable to that provided by the Act on the date thereof) in a jurisdiction in which the Partnership may conduct business or in which such formation, qualification or continuation is, in the opinion of any such Person, necessary to protect the limited liability of the Limited Partners and BUC Holders;

(ii) any other instrument or document which may be required to be filed by the Partnership under federal law or under the laws of any state in which any such Person deems it advisable to file;

(iii) all amendments to this Agreement adopted in accordance with the terms hereof and all instruments which any such Person deems appropriate to reflect a change or modification of the Partnership in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

(iv) any instrument or document, including amendments to this Agreement, which may be required to effect the continuation of the Partnership, the admission of a Limited Partner or an additional or successor General Partner or the dissolution and termination of the Partnership (provided such continuation, admission or dissolution and termination are in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or to reflect any reductions in amount of Capital Accounts.

(b) The appointment by each Limited Partner of each of such Persons as his attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, in recognition of the fact that each of the Partners under this Agreement will be relying upon the power of such Persons to act as contemplated by this Agreement in any filing and other action by them on behalf of the Partnership, and such power shall survive the Incapacity of any Person hereby giving such power and the transfer or assignment of all or any part of the Limited Partnership Interests of such Person; provided, however, that in the event of a transfer by a Limited Partner of all or any part of his Limited Partnership Interests, the foregoing power of attorney shall survive such transfer only until such time as the transferee is admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner and all required documents and instruments are duly executed, filed and recorded to effect such substitution.

Section 12.02. Signatures. Each Limited Partner and any additional or successor General Partner shall become a signatory hereto by signing such number of counterpart signature pages to this Agreement and such other instrument or instruments in such manner and at such time as the General Partner shall determine. By so signing, each Limited Partner, successor General Partner or additional General Partner, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have adopted, and to have agreed to be bound by, all the provisions of this Agreement, as amended from time to time; provided, however, that no such counterpart shall be binding unless and until it has been accepted by the General Partner.

Section 12.03. Amendments.

(a) In addition to any amendments otherwise authorized herein, amendments may be made to this Agreement or the Certificate from time to time by the General Partner, without the Consent of the Limited Partners or the BUC Holders:

(vi) to delete, add, or revise any provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate, in the General Partner’s judgment, to insure that the Partnership will be treated as a partnership, and that each BUC Holder and each Limited Partner will be treated as a limited partner, for federal income tax purposes;

(vii) to reflect the withdrawal, removal, or admission of Partners;

(viii) to provide for any amendment necessary, in the opinion of Counsel, to prevent the Partnership, the General Partner, or their managers, directors, officers, trustees, or agents from in any manner being subject to the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or “plan asset” regulations adopted under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, regardless of whether such are substantially similar to plan assets regulations currently applied or proposed by the United States Department of Labor;

(ix) to effectuate any amendment to this Agreement or the Certificate that the General Partner determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the authorization of the issuance of any class or series of Partnership Securities pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(iii) and 5.02(d); or

(x) any other amendments substantially similar to any of the foregoing;

provided, however, that, no amendment shall be adopted pursuant to this Section 12.03(a) unless the adoption thereof (A) is consistent with Section 5.01 and is not prohibited by Section 5.04; (B) does not affect the distribution of Net Interest Income, Net Residual Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds or the allocation of Income or Loss (except as provided in Section 5.10); and (C) does not, in the sole judgment of the General Partner after consultation with Counsel, affect the limited liability of the Limited Partners or the BUC Holders or cause the Partnership not to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.

(b) If this Agreement shall be amended as a result of substituting a Limited Partner, the amendment to this Agreement shall be signed by the General Partner, the Person to be substituted and the assigning Limited Partner. If this Agreement shall be amended to reflect the designation of an additional General Partner, such amendment shall be signed by the other General Partners and by such additional General Partner. If this Agreement shall be amended to reflect the withdrawal of a General Partner when the business of the Partnership is being continued, such amendment shall be signed by the withdrawing General Partner and by the remaining or successor General Partner. In the event the withdrawing General Partner or the assigning Limited Partner does not sign such an amendment within 30 days following its withdrawal or substitution, the remaining or successor General Partners are hereby appointed by the withdrawing General Partner or the assigning Limited Partner as its attorney-in-fact for purposes of signing such amendment.

(c) In making any amendments, there shall be prepared and filed by the General Partner for recording such documents and certificates as shall be required to be prepared and filed under the Act and in any other jurisdictions under the laws of which the Partnership is then qualified.

Section 12.04. Binding Provisions. The covenants and agreements contained herein shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the respective parties hereto.

Section 12.05. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to conflicts of law principles thereof.

Section 12.06. Separability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered separable and if for any reason any provision or provisions hereof are determined to be invalid and contrary to any law, such invalidity shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this Agreement which are valid.

Section 12.07. Captions. Article and Section titles are for descriptive purposes only and shall not control or alter the meaning of this Agreement as set forth in the text.

Section 12.08. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with Schedule A hereto, sets forth all, and is intended by all parties to be an integration of all, of the promises, agreements and understandings among the parties hereto with respect to the Partnership, the Partnership

business and the property of the Partnership, and there are no promises, agreements, or understandings, oral or written, express or implied, among them other than as set forth, incorporated or contemplated in this Agreement.
