2.1(f) To invest in and manage and control investments in real estate, stocks, bonds, securities and other similar interests, including, without limitation, purchasing, selling and dealing in real estate, stocks, notes and evidences of indebtedness of any person, firm, enterprise, corporation or association, domestic or foreign, bonds and any other obligations of any government, state, municipality or school district or any political subdivision thereof, domestic or foreign, bills of exchange and commercial paper, and any and all other securities or investments of any kind, nature or description whatsoever.

2.2(e) To take such action and incur such expenses on behalf of the Partnership as may be necessary or advisable in connection with the conduct of the affairs of the Partnership.

 

2.2(0 To enter into, make and perform such contracts, agreements and other undertakings as may be deemed necessary or advisable for the conduct of the affairs of the Partnership.

 

2.3       Term. The term of the Partnership commenced on the filing of a Certificate of Limited Partnership in the office of the Secretary of State of Kentucky and will continue until the Partnership is dissolved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement regarding Dissolution and Winding-Up.

 

2.4      Nature of Partners' Interests. The interests of the Partners in the Partnership will be personal property for all purposes. All property owned by the Partnership, whether real or personal, tangible or intangible, or mixed, will be deemed to be owned by the Partnership as an entity, and no Partner, individually or otherwise, will have any ownership interest in such property.

 

3. CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS, WITHDRAWALS, AND CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

 

3.1      Capital Contribution. Each General Partner and Limited Partner has already made a capital contribution to the Partnership, and each Partner's Capital Account is properly reflected in the Partnership's books and records.

 

3.2      Required Subsequent Capital Contributions. Any General Partner whose capital account has a deficit balance at the time of liquidation of such General Partner's interest agrees to contribute to the capital of the Partnership an amount of cash necessary to bring such General Partner's Capital Account up to zero. Such amount will be paid to the Partnership by the later of the end of the taxable year in question or 90 days after the date of the Partnership's liquidation, and such amount will be available for payment to the Partnership's creditors or for distribution to those Partners having positive Capital Account balances.

 

Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership

3.3      Additional Contributions. No Partner will be required to make any capital contribution in addition to that hereinabove required. The General Partners will be personally liable for all debts of the Partnership, other than nonrecourse debt. If additional contributions are necessary or appropriate, then the Partners may make additional contributions in such amounts as necessary in order for the Partners to maintain their proportionate percentage interests in the Partnership. If not all of the Partners elect to make an additional contribution, then the other Partners may make capital contributions for the portion not contributed by those Partners who have elected not to make an additional capital contribution.

 

3.4      Liability of Limited Partners. Limited Partners will not have any personal liability for any debts, obligations or losses of the Partnership in excess of the balance in their Capital Accounts. No Limited Partner shall be required to pay to the Partnership or to any Partner any deficit or negative balance which may exist from time to time in his/her Capital Account.

 

3.5      Capital Accounts.

 

3.5(a) A single capital account ("Capital Account") is and will continue to be maintained for each General Partner and for each Limited Partner, and all Capital Accounts are and will continue to be maintained in accordance with the capital accounting rules of Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (hereinafter referred to as the "Code"), and the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), and this Agreement will be so construed.

 

3.5(b) Each Partner's opening Capital Account balance is the amount of such Partner's initial capital contribution, increased and decreased in accordance with the following provisions.

 

3.5(c) If a Partner transfers all or any part of such Partner's interest in the Partnership as provided and limited in this Agreement, then the Capital Account of the transferor will become the Capital Account of the transferee to the extent of the Partnership interest transferred.

 

3.6      Additions to Capital Accounts. Subsequent to the opening Capital Account, a Partner's Capital Account will be increased by the following items:

 

3.6(a) Such Partner's cash contributions to the Partnership's capital;

 

3.6(b) The fair market value, as agreed upon by the contributing Partner and the Managing General Partner, of any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership by such Partner (net of any liability secured by such contributed property that the Partnership is considered to assume or take subject to under Code Section 752);

 

3.6(c) Such Partner's share of the Partnership's realized and unrealized profits and any gains (whether or not any such items are exempt from tax);

 

3.6(d) Such Partner's share of income described in Code Section 705(a)(1)(B); and

3.7      Subtractions From Capital Accounts. Subsequent to the opening Capital Account, a Partner's Capital Account will be reduced by the following items:

 

3.7(a) Such Partner's share of the Partnership's realized and unrealized losses (including expenditures described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) or treated as an expenditure by reason of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2));

 

3.7(b) The amount of cash and the fair market value of property distributed to such Partner (net of any liabilities assumed by such Partner or to which the distributed property is subject); and

 

3.7(c) Such other amounts that are required for the Capital Account to be determined and maintained in accordance with the Treasury Regulations.

 

3.8      Withdrawal of Capital. No Partner will be entitled to withdraw any part of his/her capital contribution to the Partnership, or receive any distributions from the Partnership, except as provided in this Agreement. No Partner will be entitled to demand or receive any property from the Partnership other than cash, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

 

3.9      Interest on Capital Accounts & Contributions. No Partner will be entitled to interest on any capital contribution or on his/her Capital Account.

 

3.10      Restriction on Registration of Interest.

 

3.10(a) Registration will be restricted to the extent required so that the Partnership is not deemed to be a "publicly traded partnership" under the Code. Partnership interests will only be registered in the name of the beneficial owner. The Partnership will not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to such interest on the part of any other person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation) which is acting as a nominee, agent or in some other representative capacity, whether or not the Partnership will have knowledge thereof, except for the following:

 

3.10(a)(1) Interests held by a guardian, custodian or conservator for the benefit of a minor or incompetent;

 

3.10(a)(2) Interests held by a trust for the benefit of a Partner or a Partner's spouse, parent, parent-in-law, issue, brother, sister, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, niece, nephew, cousin, grandchild or grandchild-in-law; and

 

3.10(a)(3) Interests held by a fiduciary for other like beneficiaries.

 

3.10(b) An interest in the Partnership will only be traded in accordance with the U. S. Department of the Treasury's rules and regulations then in effect which set forth the parameters within which a partnership may act and not be deemed to be a "publicly traded partnership" under the Code. In no event may an interest in the Partnership be listed on an established securities exchange.

4. PROFIT AND LOSS

 

4.1      Definitions of Net Profit and Net Loss. Profits and losses for any Operations Period, as hereinafter defined, will be computed in the same mariner as the Partnership reports its income for Federal income tax purposes, except that (i) income of the Partnership that is exempt from tax and expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes under the Code will be included in the computation and (ii) unrealized gain or loss will be taken into account as provided herein. The principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) will be applied, when necessary, to prevent duplication or omission of Capital Account adjustments, including without limitation, those arising from deemed sales as provided in this Agreement.

 

4.2      Guaranteed Payments. The General Partners will have the authority to pay to any one or more of the Partners a guaranteed payment, within the meaning of Code Section 707(c), for a Partner's performance of services and/or for the use of capital and that is determined without regard to the income of the Partnership. The General Partners may make such a payment in such amount, under such circumstances, and for such services rendered by the Partner to the Partnership and/or for the furnishing of the use of capital by the Partner to the Partnership as the General Partners, in their sole discretion, may decide subject only to their Fiduciary Duty as provided below in this Agreement. The Partnership will issue such forms as are required to confirm the income tax treatment of such payments as an income tax deduction to the Partnership and as taxable income to the Partner.

 

4.3      Allocation of Profits and Losses.

 

4.3(a) Except as hereinafter provided, the Partnership's net profits and net losses for each Operations Period will be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Capital Accounts.

 

4.3(b) For income tax purposes only, depreciation (cost recovery) deductions, depletion deductions and gain or loss with respect to assets contributed by a Partner will be allocated among the Partners so as to take into account the difference between the adjusted basis of the asset at the time of its contribution and the agreed value of the asset. An asset will be considered contributed by a Partner if it has a basis in the hands of the Partnership which is determined, in whole or in part, by reference to the basis of an asset actually contributed by a Partner (or previously deemed contributed by a Partner pursuant hereto).

 

4.3(c) Notwithstanding the general allocation of net profits and net losses provided above, net losses for any Operations Period which would otherwise be allocated with respect to a Partnership interest owned by a Limited Partner but which would cause such Limited Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, will instead be allocated pro rata among the General Partners.

 

Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership
for Teebank Family Limited Partnership		Page 6 of 26

 

4.3(d) If any Limited Partner receives an adjustment, allocation, or distribution that is described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), items of Partnership net profit will be specifically allocated to such Limited Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate any Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustment, allocation, or distribution as quickly as possible. These provisions are intended to constitute a "qualified income offset" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and will be interpreted and implemented as provided therein.

 

4.3(e) After satisfaction of any allocations hereinabove required, if there have been any net losses allocated to the General Partners, as hereinabove provided, then the Partnership's net profit for an Operations Period will be allocated pro rata among the General Partners until the General Partners have received allocations of net profit equal in the aggregate to any net losses previously allocated to them as hereinabove provided.

 

4.3(1) An "Adjusted Capital Account Deficit" exists with respect to a Limited Partner if the Limited Partner's Capital Account, determined for this purpose by reducing the Capital Account by the items described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), and (6) and by increasing the Capital Account by the amount described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) that the Partner is obligated to restore, is a negative amount.

 

4.3(g) If there is a net decrease in the Partnership's Minimum Gain, as provided by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(2), or Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, as provided by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(3), during an Operations Period, each Partner will be allocated, before any other allocations hereunder, items of income and gain for such Operations Period and subsequent Periods if necessary in an amount equal to such Partner's share of the net decrease in the Partnership's Mini mum Gain or Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, as applicable, for such Operations Period; provided, however, that no such allocation will be required if any of the exceptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) apply. It is intended that this provision constitute a "minimum gain chargeback" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2.

 

4.4      Allocations in Event of Transfer, Admission of New Partner, Etc. In the event of (i) the transfer of all or any part of a Partner's Partnership interest, as provided and limited by this Agreement, at any time other than the end of a fiscal year, (ii) the admission of a new Partner or (iii) the making of disproportionate capital contributions, the transferring Partner's, new Partner's or continuing Partners' shares of the Partnership's income, gain, loss, deductions and credits allocable to such Partnership interest will be allocated between the transferor Partner and the transferee Partner(s) in the same ratio as the number of days in such fiscal year before and after the date of such event; provided, however, that the General Partners may treat the periods before and after such event as separate fiscal years.

 

4.5      Definitions: Adjustment Dates and Operations Period.

 

4.5(a) The "Adjustment Dates" of the Partnership will be the date of dissolution of the Partnership and each date on which there is a distribution in kind of property of the Partnership, a contribution of money or other property (other than a de minimis amount) to the Partnership by a new or existing Partner as consideration of an interest in the Partnership, or a distribution of money (other than a de minimis amount) by the Partnership to a retiring or continuing Partner as consideration for an interest in the Partnership.

 

Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership
for Teebank Family Limited Partnership		Page 7 of 26

 

 

4.5(b) An "Operations Period" of the Partnership will be the period beginning on the first day of a fiscal year or an Adjustment Date (as the case may be), and ending on the earlier of the next succeeding Adjustment Date or the last day of a fiscal year.

 

4.6     Retention of Distributable Income as Capital Reserves. The General Partner may elect to retain from the distributions of available cash any amounts which, in the General Partners' judgment, are needed to provide reserves and working capital for anticipated investments and operating expenses, subject only to their Fiduciary Duty as provided below in this Agreement.

 

5. DISTRIBUTIONS

 

5.1     Distributions.

 

5.1(a) Partnership distributions will be made at such times as the General Partners determine best, in the exercise of their fiduciary obligations as such, after taking into consideration the best interests of the Partnership, its need for working capital, its ability to carry out the Partnership's business objectives and the best interests of the Limited Partners. All distributions will be made in cash unless otherwise agreed as provided herein and will be distributed to the Partners in proportion to their respective percentage interests.

 

5.1(b) All distributions will be treated as drawings from the Partners' respective Capital Accounts. Partnership distributions, if any, will be made to those persons recognized on the books of the Partnership as Partners or as assignees of Partnership interests on the day of any such distribution. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of state or local tax laws with respect to any payment or distribution to any Partner shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Partner pursuant to this Section.

 

5.1(c) No Partner will be entitled to receive property other than cash unless the Partnership elects to distribute any Partnership property in-kind. Any in-kind distributions of Partnership property will be valued by an established, reputable, independent and qualified appraiser, if requested by a Partner. If the Partnership elects to make a distribution in-kind, the difference between such established value and the book value of the property to be distributed will be credited or charged, as the case may be, to the Partners' Capital Accounts prior to the distribution in proportion to their respective percentage interests in the Partnership. Following the distribution of such property, the foregoing agreed upon value will be charged to the Capital Accounts of the Partners receiving such distribution.

 

5.2     Distributions Upon Winding-Up. Upon the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership, the assets of the Partnership will be distributed in the following order of priority:

 

5.2(a) To the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Partnership (other than Capital Accounts and Partner loans to the Partnership) and the expenses of winding-up, including the establishment of any reserves to pay any anticipated and contingent liabilities or obligations which the General Partners, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. Any such reserves will be charged against the Partners' Capital Accounts on a pro rata basis based upon the proportion of each Partner's Capital Account to the total of all Partners' Capital Accounts, and prior to payment of such liabilities and obligations, will be placed in the hands of an escrow agent for such period and upon such terms as the General Partners will determine; and then,

 

Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership
for Teebank Family Limited Partnership		Page 8 of 26

 

5.2(b) To repay any loans to the Partnership by a Partner, including any deferred payment obligation to a Partner or a Partner's personal representative as the result of a redemption by the Partnership of such Partner's interest; and then,

 

5.2(c) To the Partners in an amount equal to any credit balance in their Capital Accounts (as a negative Capital Account balance will be considered a loan from the Partnership to the Partner for the purpose of determining distributions upon dissolution), so that the Capital Account of each Partner will be brought back to zero; and then,

 

5.2(d) The balance, if any, will be distributed to the Partners in proportion to their respective interests in the Partnership.

 

6. ACCOUNTING

 

6.1     Books and Records. The General Partners will maintain the general accounts of the Partnership. The books of the Partnership will be kept on a basis consistent with the provisions of this Agreement and determined in the same manner as the Partnership computes its income (loss) for Federal income tax purposes; provided, however, that the Partnership will not use the installment method for book purposes. Such books and records and the items referred to in KRS 362.409(1) will be open to the inspection of all Partners, in person or by their duly authorized representatives, at reasonable times. The books of the Partnership will be maintained using a method of accounting as determined by the General Partners.

 

6.2     Tax Year. The tax year of the Partnership will be the calendar year.

 

6.3     Reports. As soon as practicable after the close of each fiscal year the Partnership will furnish each Partner with a copy of the Partnership's financial statements for such year and with a statement of such Partner's Capital Account, as reflected on the books of the Partnership. Each Partner will also be supplied with all information with respect to the Partnership that may be required in connection with the preparation of such Partner's tax returns.

 

6.4     Federal Income Tax Status and Elections.

 

6.4(a) This Partnership will constitute a partnership for Federal income tax purposes, and the General Partners will report all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit as a partnership and in accordance with the partnership taxation rules pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder.

 

Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership
for Teebank Family Limited Partnership		Page 9 of 26

 

6.4(b) All elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership under the Code will be made by the General Partners in such manner as will, in their opinion, be most advantageous to a majority in interest of the Limited Partners.

 

7. MANAGEMENT

 

7.1     Management by General Partners.

 

7.1(a) The business affairs of the Partnership will be managed by the General Partners. The General Partners will have all necessary powers to carry out the purposes of the Partnership. In addition to the authority given to the General Partners by this Agreement and by law, the General Partners will have the specific authority to take the following actions.

 

7.1(a)(1) The General Partners will have the authority, at any time, and from time-to-time, to sell, exchange, lease and/or transfer legal and equitable title to the Partnership property upon such terms and conditions and for such considerations as the General Partners consider reasonable. The execution of any document or conveyance or lease by the General Partners will be sufficient to transfer complete legal and equitable title to the interest conveyed without the xxxxxx, ratification, or consent of the Limited Partners. No purchaser, tenant, transferee or obligor will have any obligation whatsoever to see to the application of payments made to the General Partners.

 

7.1(a)(2) The General Partners will have the authority to retain, without liability, any and all property in the form it is received, without regard to its productivity or the proportion that any one asset or class of assets may bear to the whole.

10. TRANSFERS OF LIMITED PARTNER INTERESTS

 

10.1   Right of Removal. The General Partners retain the right to be associated with whomsoever they so desire.

10.4(b) The other Partners will have the first option to purchase the Transferor Interest in accordance with their percentages of Partnership interests in the Partnership or in such other percentages as they may unanimously agree.

10.4(c) If the other Partners fail to purchase all the Transferor Interest, then the Partnership will have the right to purchase the remaining balance of the Transferor Interest.

 

10.4(d) If the other Partners and/or the Partnership elect to exercise their right to purchase the Transferor Interest, they shall notify the Transferor in writing before the Offer Period expires.

Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership
for Teebank Family Limited Partnership		Page 18 of 26

 

10.5(a) Each of the other Partners will have the first option to purchase in accordance with their percentages of Partnership interests in the Partnership or such other percentages as they may unanimously agree. If not all of the other Partners elect to purchase, then those Partners electing to purchase will have the right to purchase the balance of the offered Partnership interest in accordance with their respective percentages of Partnership interests among themselves, or in such other percentages as they may unanimously agree.

 

10.5(b) If the other Partners fail to purchase all of the interest sought to be involuntarily transferred, then the Partnership will have the right to purchase the remaining balance of such Partnership interest.

 

10.5(c) The option to the other Partners and to the Partnership to purchase the interest sought to be involuntarily transferred is hereinafter referred to as the "Involuntary Option."

 

10.5(d) The term of the Involuntary Option of the other Partners and the Partnership will commence upon their receipt of actual notice of the attempted involuntary transfer and will terminate, if not exercised, 60 days thereafter, unless sooner terminated by written refusal of the other Partners. An election to exercise any Involuntary Option will be made in a writing that is transmitted to the Limited Partner whose Partnership interest is sought to be involuntarily transferred.

 

10.5(e) Upon the failure or neglect of the other Partners or the Partnership to purchase, in accordance with this section, all of the Partnership interest sought to be involuntarily transferred, the unpurchased Partnership interest may be involuntarily transferred, but such transferee will not become a substitute Limited Partner unless the requirements for becoming a substitute Limited Partner as set forth in this Agreement are satisfied in full. Nevertheless, such transferee will be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

10.5(f) If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Partnership interest is transferred by involuntary means without compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then the Involuntary Option described above will be to purchase such Partnership interest from the transferee(s).

At the closing, the selling Limited Partner will execute such instruments of assignment as shall be required by the purchasing Partner(s) or the Partnership, so as to transfer the Partnership interests being sold free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests, and encumbrances whatsoever.

Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership
for Teebank Family Limited Partnership		Page 19 of 26

 

10.6 Fair Market Value.

 

10.6(a) "Fair Market Value" means the price at which the Partnership interest being valued would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both being reasonably informed of the relevant factors and in light of the circumstances and prospects surrounding the business of the Partnership. The General Partners will determine the Fair Market Value of the Partnership interest, subject to their Fiduciary Duty as provided below, and that determination shall take into consideration appropriate discounts for lack of marketability and minority interest related to such Partnership interest. If the withdrawing or transferor Partner objects to the General Partners' determination of Fair Market Value, then such value will be determined by an appraiser jointly chosen by the withdrawing or transferor Partner and the General Partners. If the parties cannot agree on the choice of one appraiser, then the General Partners will appoint one appraiser and the withdrawing or transferor Partner will appoint another appraiser. Each party will bear the cost of its own appraisal. If the resulting appraisals are different, and if the higher appraisal value is 110 percent or less of the lower appraisal, then the two appraisals will be averaged and the averaged appraisals will be deemed to be the Fair Market Value for purposes of this Agreement. li the higher appraisal value is more than 110 percent of the lower appraisal value, then the Partnership's independent public accountant will appoint a third appraiser and this third appraiser will review both of the already prepared appraisals, and select the one appraisal which, in the opinion of the third appraiser, is most correct in determining Fair Market Value. The decision of the third appraiser will be final and binding on the parties. The party whose appraisal is not selected will pay the cost o I the third appraiser.

 

10.6(b) Adjustments to Fair Market Value will be made as follows:

 

10.6(b)(1) To reflect any distributions made in the regular course of business, between the termination date and the date the Partnership begins payments in redemption of the Partnership interest; and

 

10.6(b)(2) To reflect the effect of the redemption of the Partnership interest on the withdrawing Partner's interest, the value of the total Partnership interests outstanding and the Capital Account balances represented by the Partnership interests not being redeemed.

 

10.7 Payment of Purchase Price. The purchase price for a Limited Partner's interest will be paid by the purchaser(s) in 120 equal monthly installments of principal (or the remaining term of the Partnership if less than 120 months) plus interest on the unpaid principal balance at a rate equal to the prime rate charged by the bank where the Partnership conducts its banking business. The interest rate will be adjusted every six months. The first monthly installment will be due and payable 120 days after the determination of the purchase price for the Limited Partner's interest. Each purchaser may prepay his/her portion of the unpaid principal balance at anytime. In the event of non-payment of any installment by one or more purchasers, the withdrawing Partner or the deceased Partner's personal representative, as the case may be, may declare the remaining payments due from said purchaser(s) to be in default and require the immediate payment of the entire unpaid principal balance due from said purchasers(s) with all accrued interest.

 

Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership

10.8 Postponement of Time for Payment of Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the above, neither the Partnership nor the Partners will be required to make payments for the purchase of more than one terminated or deceased Partner's interest at any one time. If during the period of time in which the Partners or the Partnership are making payments to purchase a Partner's interest, an event occurs which would require the Partners or the Partnership to purchase an additional Partner's interest, then the payments for such subsequent Partner's interest will not be required to commence until 30 days after the completion of payments for the purchase of the previously withdrawing or transferring Partner's interests. These provisions only alter the timing of payments for a Partner's interest and do not affect the determination of the termination date, the amount of the purchase price, and any other rights and obligations provided herein.

 

11. FlDUCIARY DUTIES OF PARTNERS

 

11.1 Fiduciary Duty. The General Partners have a fiduciary obligation of good faith, loyalty and fair and honest dealing towards the Partnership and all the Limited Partners. Further, each General Partner has a duty of trust to the Partnership and to the Limited Partners and will not act in any manner that is not in the Partnership's best interest. Each General Partner will refrain from any activity which is or may be detrimental to the Partnership's best interests or which interferes with accomplishing the objectives for which the Partnership has been organized.

 

11.2 Responsibility of General Partners.

 

11.2(a) The General Partners will not be liable, responsible or accountable for damages to any Partner or the Partnership for any act or omission to act on behalf of the Partnership that is in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by such General Partners to be within the scope of the authority granted to the General Partners by this Agreement and in the best interests of the Partnership, unless such General Partners are guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions or a breach of their fiduciary duty.

 

11.2(b) The Partnership will indemnify the General Partners for, and hold the General Partners harmless from, any liability, loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorney' fees) incurred by the General Partners in connection with any act or omission to act not involving gross negligence or willful misconduct or a breach of their fiduciary duty.

 

11.3 Fiduciary Capacity. A Partner may own one or more interests in a fiduciary capacity, such as a trustee under a trust agreement, as executor or a personal representative of an estate, or as custodian. Except as hereinafter provided, such fiduciary will have no interest or obligation individually with respect to any such interests, but will be considered as acting solely in such fiduciary capacity. If a Partner acting in a fiduciary capacity ceases to act as such, the successor fiduciary shall be a Partner in the same fiduciary capacity with the same rights and obligations as the predecessor fiduciary.
