Except as expressly provided herein (or as may be required by the 1934 Act and rules thereunder), no class of, or enumerated category of, Limited Partners shall be entitled to vote or consent separately as a class with respect to any matter.

ARTICLE 7.

ALLOCATIONS

7.1 Allocation of Net Profits and Net Losses.

(a) Subject to Section 7.3, for each Fiscal Period, all Selling Fees shall be allocated among the Limited Partners in accordance with any Selling Fee actually charged with respect to the Units held by such Limited Partner.

(b) Subject to Sections 7.l (a) and 7.3, for each Fiscal Period, Net Profits and Net Losses (and items thereof) generally shall be allocated among the Partners, in proportion to, and until, each such Partner's Capital Account balance (determined after taking into account all distributions and all allocations for the current Fiscal Year, except for the allocations pursuant to this Section 7.1) is increased or reduced to an amount equal to such Partner's Target Capital Account. The General Partner may allocate in any particular Fiscal Period (i) items of income and gain to those Partners whose Capital Account balances are less than their Target Capital Account and (ii) items of loss and deduction to those Partners whose Capital Account balances are greater than their Target Capital Account, but in each case only up to an amount that would cause their Target Capital Account and Capital Account balances to be equivalent.

7.2 Authority to Reallocate.

The Partners acknowledge and agree that (i) it is the overriding intent of the patties that the cumulative distributions made by the Partnership to the Partners over the life of the Pa1tnership pursuant to ARTICLE 8 and ARTICLE 11, including distributions made in liquidation of the Pa1tnership, shall be made among the Partners as described in Section 8.3, and (ii) notwithstanding Section 7.1, the General Partner shall have the authority to reallocate items of income, gain, loss, and deduction of the Partnership among the Partners so as to cause the allocations thereof to be consistent with the distributions set forth in Section 8.3.

7.3 Special Allocations.

(a) Minimum Gain Chargebacks. If during any taxable year there is a net decrease in partnership minimum gain (as such term is defined by Regulations§1.704-2(d)), then each Partner shall be specially allocated gross income for such taxable year (and, if necessary, for subsequent taxable years) in the manner provided in Regulations §l.704-2(f). Likewise, if there is a net decrease during any taxable year in the minimum gain attributable to Partner nonrecourse debt (as defined in Regulations §1.704-2(i)(3)) with respect to Partner nonrecourse debt, then any Partner with a share of the minimum gain attributable to such debt at the beginning of such taxable year shall be specially allocated items of gross income for such taxable year (and, if necessary, for subsequent taxable years) in the manner provided in Regulations §1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 7.3(a) is intended to comply with, and shall be interpreted to be consistent with, the minimum gain chargeback requirements of Regulations §§1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i).

28 | LPA

(b) Qualified Income Offset. If any Limited Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulations §§1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), that, after tentatively taking into account all allocations that would be made for the current period under this Agreement (other than allocations pursuant to this Section 7.3(b)), would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Partnership income and gain will be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations under Code §704(b), the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible. This Section 7.3(b) is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirement in Regulations §l. 704-1(b) (2) (ii) (d) and will be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Preventative Allocation. If any Limited Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year then such Limited Partner will be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible.

(d) Optional Adjustment to Basis - Section 754. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code §734(b) or Code §743(b) is required pursuant to Regulations §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts will be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss will be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Regulations Section.

(e) Overall Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Net Loss will be allocated to any Limited Partner if such allocation would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in such Limited Partner's Capital Account. If the Capital Account of any Limited Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at any time when the Capital Account of any other Limited Partner would not have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, any further Net Loss will be allocated in accordance with the respective Capital Account balances of the Limited Partners whose Capital Accounts would have no Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. In the event that the allocation of further Net Loss would cause Adjusted Capital Account Deficits in the Capital Accounts of all Limited Partners, all such Net Loss will be allocated to the General Partner.

(f) Nonrecourse Deductions. Gross deductions that are Partner nonrecourse deductions (as defined in Regulations §1.704-2(i)(2)) for any taxable year shall be allocated to the Partner that bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the nonrecourse debt to which such Partner nonrecourse deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations §1.704- 2(i). Nonrecourse deductions (as defined in Regulations §l .704-2(b)) will be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Allocation Percentages. Solely for purposes of allocating excess nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership among the Partners, the Partners agree that their respective interests in the profits of the Partnership are equal to their respective Allocation Percentages.

29 | LPA

(g) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 7.3(a) through 7.3(f) ("Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations §§1.704-l (b) and 1.704-2. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Partners intend to divide Partnership distributions. Accordingly, the General Partner is hereby authorized to divide other allocations of Net Profit, Net Loss, and other items among the Partners so as to cause all of the Partnership's allocations, including the Regulatory Allocations, to be consistent with the agreed division of Pa1tnership distributions. In general, the Partners anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially allocating other Net Profit, Net Loss, and items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Partners so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each such Person is zero. However, the General Partner may accomplish this result in any reasonable manner.

7.4 Tax Rules.

The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

(a) Proportional to Net Profits or Net Loss. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.4, for each taxable period, each item of Partnership income, gain, deduction and loss for tax purposes shall be allocated among the Partners in the same promotion as they share the corresponding item of Net Profits, Net Losses or other item of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction for such period.

(b) Contribution of Property. In accordance with Code §704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction as to any property contributed to the capital of the Pa1tnership shall, for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value.

(c) Gross Asset Value Adjustment. If the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted as the result of an adjustment as described in subsection (ii) or (iv) of the definition of "Gross Asset Value," subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction as to such asset shall, for tax purposes, be made so as to eliminate as quickly as possible any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as pursuant to Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.

(d) Elections Under Code §704(c). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the General Partner will allocate taxable items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property owned by the Partnership as of the date hereof, the adjusted basis of which differs from its Gross Asset Value, among the Partners on a prope1ty-by-prope1ty basis in accordance with one of the methods provided in Regulations §1.704-3, as selected by the General Partner. Any election or other decision relating to allocations under this Section 7.4 Will be made by the General Partner in any manner that reasonably reflects the purposes and intention of this Agreement. Allocations under this Section 7.4 are for purposes of federal, state and local taxes only and shall not affect or in any way be taken into account in computing any Partner's Capital Account balance or share of Net Profits, Net Losses or distributions pursuant to any provision of the Agreement.

30 | LPA

7.5 Other Allocation Rules.

(a) Frequency. For purpose of determining the Net Profit, Net Loss, or any other item allocated to any period, Net Profit, Net Loss, and any such other item will be determined on a daily, monthly, quarterly, or other basis, as determined by the General Partner using any permissible method under Code §706 and the Regulations thereunder.

(b) Remaining Items. Any item of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction and any other allocation not otherwise provided for in this Agreement must be divided among the Partners in the same proportions as the Partners share Net Profit or Net Loss, as the case may be, for such period.

ARTICLES.

DISTRIBUTIONS

8.1 Amounts.

Except as otherwise provided herein, distributions will be made by the Partnership as determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. The General Partner shall be entitled to withhold from any distribution such amounts as the General Partner determines are necessary to create or fund any reserve for Pa1tnership Expenses, liabilities or obligations of the Partnership. The General Partner may use broad discretion with respect to the current needs for operating capital, reserves for future operating capital, current investment and reinvestment opportunities, reserves for future investment and reinvestment opportunities, and distribution of the Partnership assets; provided, however, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the General Partner may not withhold any distribution of funds to the Partners which would violate the General Partner’s fiduciary duty under the DRULP A. It is the General Partner's duty in determining the amount of distributions to the Partners, to take into account: (a) the Partnership 's anticipated needs in its business and sums necessary to operate its business until the income from further operations is available; (b) the amounts of its debts; (c) the necessity or advisability of paying its debts, or at least reducing them within the limits of the Partnership's credit; and (d) the necessity or advisability of establishing any reserve amounts for either operating expenses or capital expenditures.

8.2 Special Partner Tax Distribution.

The Partnership may, prior to making any distributions under Section 8.3, make a cash advance to the Special Partner or its designee against distributions to be paid to the Special Partner under Section 8.3 to the extent that such distributions are not otherwise sufficient for the Special Partner or its designee or any of its members or beneficial owners (whether such interests are held directly or indirectly) to pay when due any income tax imposed on it or its members or beneficial owners with respect to allocations of income attributable to the Profits Interest determined by assuming the applicability of the highest combined effective marginal federal, state and local income tax rates applicable to an individual resident in New York, New York, and taking into account the character of the income underlying the applicable tax obligation (i.e., capital gain, ordinary income or qualified dividend) and previous allocations of Net Losses attributable to the Special Partner's Profits Interest under Section 7.1. Amounts distributed under this Section 8.2 will be treated as advances against distributions for purposes of Section 8.3 and will reduce subsequent distributions to the Special Partner under Section 8.3.

31 | LPA

When the Partnership winds up pursuant to Section 11.1, if the amount distributed to the Special Partner under this Section 8.2 is greater than the amount that would have been distributed to the Special Partner under Sections 8.3(4). 8.3(5) and 11.3 (in respect of Sections 8.3(4) and 8.3(5)) in the absence of distributions under this Section 8.2, the Special Partner shall contribute to the Partnership, for distribution to the Limited Partners under Section 8.3, such excess reduced by the Special Partner's Net Tax Liability. The Special Partner's "Net Tax Liability" shall equal the income taxes imposed on the Special Partner and its direct and indirect beneficial owners in respect of allocations and distributions to the Special Partner as determined at the highest marginal federal, state and local income tax rates applicable to an individual resident in New York, New York for the relevant periods and taking into account the character of the income underlying the applicable tax obligation (i.e., long-term capital gain, ordinary income or qualified dividend income) less the tax benefit of losses allocated to the Special Partner to reverse prior allocations of taxable income to the extent that such tax benefits are actually realized in the form of a reduction in tax liability otherwise owed as determined by the Special Partner in its sole discretion. The amount so contributed will be for the sole benefit of the Limited Partners and not creditors of the Partnership, and may be paid directly to the Limited Partners by the Special Partner.

8.3 Priority.

After payment of any Tax Distributions and payment and reservation of all amounts deemed necessary by the General Partner in its sole discretion as contemplated by Section 8.1, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, amounts available for distribution by the Partnership will be distributed as follows:

(1) First, 100% to the Limited Partners, in proportion to their respective Net Capital Contributions, until each Limited Partner has received cumulative distributions pursuant to this Section 8.3(1) equal to such Limited Partner's Net Capital Contribution Amount;

(2) Second, 100% to the Limited Partners, in proportion to their respective Unreturned Capital Contributions, until each Limited Partner has received cumulative distributions pursuant to this Section 8.3(2) and Section 8.3(1) equal to such Limited Partner’s aggregate Capital Contributions;

(3) Third, 100% to the Limited Partners, in proportion to their respective Accrued Preferred Returns, until each Limited Partner has received cumulative distributions pursuant to Section 8.3 in an amount equal to the sum of such Limited Partner's aggregate Capital Contributions and Limited Partner Preferred Return;

32 | LPA

(4) Fourth, 100% to the Special Partner until the cumulative distributions made to the Special Partner pursuant to this Section 8.3(4)  equal 20% of the sum of all amounts Distributed (i) to each Limited Partner pursuant to Sections 8.3(1), (2) and (3), in excess Of such Limited Partner's Net Capital Contribution Amount and (ii) to the Special Partner under this Section 8.3(4); and

(5) Thereafter, amounts available for distribution by the Partnership will be distributed 80% to the Limited Partners and 20% to the Special Partner, with such amounts distributed to the Limited Partners pursuant to Section 8.3(5) in promotion to their respective aggregate Capital Contributions.

The General Partner will make adjustments to amounts distributed pursuant to this Section 8.3 to take into account differences in fees paid with respect to different classes of Units or certain investments.

8.4 General.

(a) Overriding Limitations on Distributions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, distributions shall be made only to the extent of available cash of the Partnership and in compliance with the DRULPA and other applicable law.

(b) Distributions to Persons Shown on Partnership Records. Any distribution by the Partnership to the Person shown on the Partnership's records as a Partner or to such Person's legal representatives, or to the transferee of such Person's right to receive such distributions as provided herein, shall constitute a release of the Partnership and the General Partner of all liability to any other Person that may be interested in such distribution by reason of any Transfer of such Person's Units for any reason (including a Transfer of such interest by reason of the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of such Person).

8.5 Tax Withholding.

(a) General. Each Partner shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless the General Partner and any officer, agent or representative thereof who is or who is deemed to be the responsible withholding agent for U.S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. income tax purposes against (i) all claims, liabilities and expenses of whatever nature relating to such Person's obligation to withhold and to pay over, or otherwise pay, any withholding or other taxes payable by the Partnership or as a result of such Partner's participation in the Partnership and (ii) any liabilities, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable expenses of investigation and attorneys' fees and expenses), losses, damages, assessments, settlements or judgments arising out of or incident to the imposition, assessment or asse1tion of any amounts described in clause (i) above.

33 | LPA

(b) Authority to Withhold; Treatment of Withheld Tax. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold and to pay over, or otherwise pay, any withholding or other taxes payable by the Partnership or any of its Affiliates (under the Code or any provision of U .S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. tax law) with respect to such Partner or as a result of such Partner's participation in the Partnership (including as a result of a distribution in kind to such Partner). If and to the extent the Partnership is required to withhold or pay any such withholding or other taxes with respect to a Partner, such Partner will be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have received a distribution from the Partnership pursuant to the then relevant provisions of Section 8.3, as of the time that such withholding or other tax is required to be paid, to the extent such Partner (or any successor to such Partner's interest in the Partnership) would have received a cash distribution but for such withholding. For purposes of this Section 8.5(b). the amount of taxes required to be withheld or paid with respect to a Partner will be determined based on the withholding tax rate applicable to such Partner under Section 8.5(c) (which must take into account any withholding exemptions or reductions applicable to such Partner, as established under Section  8.5(c)).

(c) Withholding Tax Rate. Any withholdings referred to in this Section 8.5 will be made at the maximum applicable statutory rate under the applicable tax law unless the General Partner has received an opinion of counsel, a valid and properly completed and executed withholding certificate, or other evidence, satisfactory to the General Partner to the effect that a lower rate is applicable or that no withholding is applicable.

(d) Withholding from Distributions to the Partnership. If the Partnership receives a distribution from or in respect of which tax has been withheld, the Partnership will be deemed to have received cash in an amount equal to the amount of such withheld tax, and each Partner will be treated as having received as a distribution pursuant to the relevant clause of Section 8.3 of the portion of such amount that is attributable to such Partner's interest in the Partnership as equitably determined by the General Partner.

8.6 Adjustments and Determinations by General Partner.

(a) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article VIII, the General Partner is authorized to make an adjustment in the allocations of distributions provided for in Article VIII if the General Partner considers in good faith that an adjustment is necessary and equitable to correct errors in allocations of distributions made pursuant to Article VIII.

(b) All matters concerning the allocations and other determinations provided for in this Article VIII and any accounting procedures not expressly provided for in this Agreement shall be determined by the General Partner in good faith.

ARTICLE 9.

(a) it is duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware;

34 | LPA

(b) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the execution and delivery by it of this Agreement and the performance by it of its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all requisite action, and to the best of its knowledge, do not and will not conflict with, violate, result in a breach of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, (i) any agreement or contract; (ii) any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation; (iii) any charter, bylaw, partnership agreement, trust agreement or other organizational document; or (iv) any decree or order of any court or other agency of government; and

(c) this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of it and is enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

9.2 Representations & Warranties of the Limited Partners.

Each of the Limited Partners hereby represents and warrants to the Partnership and the other Pa1tners as of the date that such Limited Partner is admitted to the Partnership and each date upon which it acquires any Unit that the information provided by such Limited Partner pursuant to the Subscription Documents completed and executed by such Limited Partner and the representations and warranties contained in such Subscription Documents are true, correct and complete at all times from and after the date upon which such Subscription Documents were completed and executed by such Limited Partner through and including the date upon which the Limited Partner acquired such Units.

9.3 Indemnification.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) the General Partner, (ii) its Affiliates, (iii) members of the Acquisition Committee and the Advisory Committee, and (iv) the officers, directors, stockholders, members, managers, partners and employees of the General Partner and its Affiliates who perform or are alleged to perform any duties, responsibilities or functions for or on behalf of the Partnership, the General Partner or its Affiliates on behalf of the Partnership, or the General Partner (individually, an "Indemnitee"), shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, whether joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which the Indemnitee may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status specified in clause (i) through (iv) above, if (A) such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner it reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that its conduct was unlawful and (B) the conduct of such Indemnitee did not constitute fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or a material breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be obligated to indemnify the General Partner, its Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, stockholders, members, managers, partners and employees (collectively, the "General Partner Indemnitees") against losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from claims brought by one General Partner indemnitees against another General Partner Indemnitee that do not involve and are not made in response to a claim brought against a General Partner Indemnitee by a third party. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, will not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee failed to meet the standards for indemnification set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

35 | LPA

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding subject to this Section  9.3 (other than any such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding brought against an Indemnitee directly by a Limited Partner or by or in the right of the Partnership in accordance with applicable law in which the allegations against such Indemnitee consist exclusively of claims that such indemnitees is subject to liability to such Limited Partner or the Partnership as a result of conduct that does not meet the standards specified in clause (A) or (B) of Section  9.3(a)) will, from time-to-time, be advanced by the Pa1tnership prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt by the Partnership of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it is determined that such Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 9.3.

(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 9.3 will be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution to which those indemnified may be entitled from the Partnership pursuant to any approval of the Partner or as a matter of law, both as to (i) an action in a capacity described in clauses (i) - (iv) of Section 9.3(a) and (ii) an action in another capacity, and will continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity (but only as to actions taken by such Indemnitee prior to such Indemnitee ceasing to serve in such capacity) and will inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee. The Partnership may indemnify an Indemnitee against, or make contribution in respect of, losses, claims, damages, liabilities, whether joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts incurred by an Indemnitee on a basis other than that described in this Section 9.3 if such indemnification or contribution is approved by a Majority of Limited Partners.

(d) The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance as the General Partner determines is available, customary and appropriate for a company engaged in activities similar to those of the Partnership, which insurance may provide coverage against any liability that may be asserted against or expense that may be incurred by the Partnership, the General Partner or any Indemnitee in connection with the Partnership's activities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. Any indemnification under this Section 9.3 will first be satisfied out of insurance proceeds to the extent such proceeds have been received by the Partnership. In the event any assets of the Partnership are used to satisfy any indemnification obligation hereunder and insurance proceeds are subsequently received in respect of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in respect of which indemnification has been provided, such proceeds will be used to repay the Partnership for the amounts used by it to satisfy such indemnification obligation.

36 | LPA

(e) Any indemnification hereunder shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of the Partnership. In no event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Partners to personal liability by reason of these indemnification provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Limited Partners will be required to return to the Partnership distributions for purposes of meeting the indemnification obligations for a period of three years following the termination of the Pat1nership.

(f) An indemnitees will not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 9.3 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that such indemnification will extend only to such Indemnitee's activities with respect to or on behalf of the Partnership, and not to such Indemnitee's other interest in the transaction.

(g) The indemnification provided in this Section 9.3 is for the benefit of the indemnitees and will not be deemed to create any right to indemnification for any other Persons.

(h) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the debts, liabilities and obligations (whether arising under this Agreement, in contract, tort or otherwise) of the Partnership will be solely the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership, and no Partner, agent or representative of the Partnership (including any Person who formerly held such status) will be liable or shall be obligated personally for any such debt, liability or obligation of the Pat1nership solely by reason of such status. No individual trustee, officer, director, shareholder, member, manager, managing member, constituent pai1ner, employee or agent of the General Partner, its Affiliates or any Partners (subject to the terms hereof and as required by law), in his, her or their individual capacity as such, will have any personal liability for the performance of any obligation of the General Partner its Affiliates or such Partner under this Agreement

9.4 Inspection Rights.

At any time before the Partnerships complete liquidation, each Limited Partner, or a designee thereof, at its own expense may (i) fully examine and audit the Partnership's books, records, accounts and assets, including bank account balances, and (ii) examine, or request that the General Partner furnish, such additional information as is reasonably necessary to enable the requesting Pat1ner to review the state of the activities of the Partnership; provided, however, that the General Partner can obtain such additional information without unreasonable effort or expense. Any such examination or audit will be made (i) only upon reasonable prior written notice to the General Partner, (ii) during normal business hours or as specified by the General Partner, and (iii) without undue disruption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner will have the benefit of any confidential information provisions of the DRULPA and the obligation to make Partnership Information available or to furnish Partnership Information shall be subject to Section 9.5.

37 | LPA

9.5 Confidentiality.

(a) A Limited Partner’s rights to access or receive any information about the Partnership, its assets and the Partnership's affairs, including (i) information to which a Limited Partner is provided access under Section 9.4 or otherwise as required by law; (ii) financial statements, reports and other information provided under Section 6.5; and (iii) the offering documents for the Partnership, this Agreement, any Subscription Documents and any other related agreements (the "Partnership Information"), are conditioned on such Limited Partner's willingness and ability to assure that the Partnership Information will be used solely by such Limited Partner for purposes reasonably related to such Limited Partner's interest as a Limited Partner, and that such Partnership Information will not become publicly available as a result of such Limited Partner's rights to access or receive such Partnership Information, and each Limited Partner agrees not to use Partnership Information other than for purposes of evaluating, monitoring or protecting its investment in the Partnership.

(b) Each Limited Partner acknowledges the General Partner's belief that the Partnership Information includes trade secrets of the Partnership and that the release of any such Partnership Information would cause competitive harm to the Partnership, the General Partner and/or the Partners. Each Limited Partner agrees to maintain any Partnership Information provided to it in the strictest confidence and not to disclose the Partnership Information to any Person including a prospective transferee of such Partner's Units, without the written prior consent of the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner consents to the disclosure by a Limited Partner to its accountants, attorneys and similar advisors bound by a duty of confidentiality. With respect to any Limited Partner, the obligation to maintain the Partnership Information in confidence shall not apply to any Pa1tnership Information (i) that becomes publicly available (other than by reason of a disclosure by a Limited Partner), (ii) the disclosure of which by such Limited Partner has been consented to by the General Partner in writing, or (iii) the disclosure of which by such Limited Partner is required by a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority or otherwise as required by law. Before any Limited Partner discloses Partnership Information pursuant to clause (iii), such Limited Partner will promptly, and in any event prior to making any such disclosure, notify the General Partner of the court order, subpoena, interrogatories, government order or other reason that requires disclosure of the Partnership Information so that the General Partner may seek a protective order or other remedy to protect the confidentiality of the Partnership Information. Such Limited Partner will also consult with the General Partner on the advisability of taking steps to eliminate or narrow the requirement to disclose the Partnership Information and shall otherwise cooperate with the efforts of the General Partner to obtain a protective order or other remedy to protect the Partnership Information. If a protective order or other remedy cannot be obtained, such Limited Partner may disclose only that Partnership Information that its counsel advises in writing (which writing shall also be addressed and delivered to the Partnership) that it is legally required to disclose.

(c) Each Limited Partner must promptly inform the General Partner if it becomes aware of any reason, whether under law, regulation, policy or otherwise, that it (or any of its equity holders) will, or might become compelled to, use the Partnership Information other than as contemplated by Section 9.5(a) or disclose Partnership Information in violation of the confidentiality restrictions in Section 9.5(b) (disregarding clause (iii) thereof).

38 | LPA

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, with the exception of the tax return information to be provided to each Pa1tner pursuant to this Agreement, the General Partner will have the right not to provide any Limited Partner, for such period of time as the General Partner in good faith determines to be advisable, with any Partnership Information that such Limited Partner would otherwise be entitled to receive or to have access to pursuant to this Agreement or the DRULPA if: (i) the Partnership or the General Partner is required by law or by agreement with a third party to keep such Partnership Information confidential; (ii) the General Partner in good faith believes that the disclosure of such Partnership Information to such Limited Partner is not in the best interest of the Partnership or could damage the Partnership or the conduct of the affairs of the Partnership (which may include a determination by the General Partner that such Limited Partner (or any of its equity holders) is disclosing or may disclose such Partnership Information (or may be compelled to disclose such Partnership Information) or has not indicated a willingness to protect Partnership Information from being disclosed (or compelled to be disclosed) and that the potential of such disclosure by such Limited Partner (or any of its equity holders) is not in the best interest of the Partnership or could damage the Partnership or the conduct of the affairs of the Partnership) or (iii) such Limited Partner has notified the General Partner of its election not to have access to, or to receive, such Partnership Information.

(e) The Limited Partners acknowledge and agree that: (i) the Partnership, the General Partner and Affiliates of the General Partner may acquire confidential information related to third parties that under fiduciary, contractual, legal or similar obligations may not be disclosed to the Limited Partners without violating such obligations; and (ii) neither the Partnership, the General Partner nor Affiliates of the General Partner will be in breach of any duty under this Agreement or the DRULPA in consequence of acquiring, holding or failing to disclose Partnership Information to a Limited Partner so long as such obligations were undertaken in good faith.

(f) In addition to any other remedies available at law, the Partners agree that the Partnership will be entitled to equitable relief, including, without limitation, the right to an injunction or restraining order (without the necessity of proving damages or posting a bond or other security), as a remedy for any failure by a Limited Partner to comply with its obligations with respect to the use and disclosure of Partnership Information, as provided in Section 9.5(a)  and 9.5(b).

(g) Each Limited Partner agrees to cooperate with such procedures and restrictions as may be developed by the General Partner from time-to-time in connection with the disclosure of non-public information concerning the General Partner and the Partnership, as determined by the General Partner to be reasonably necessary and advisable to maintain and promote compliance with legal and other regulatory matters applicable to the General Partner, the Partnership and the Limited Partners, including securities laws and regulations.

39 | LPA

(h) Each Limited Pa1iner acknowledges and agrees that the General Partner may consider the different circumstances of Limited Partners with respect to the restrictions and obligations imposed on Limited Partners in this Section 9.5 and the provision of information under this Agreement, and the General Partner may modify any of such restrictions and/or obligations with respect to a Limited Partner with the consent of such Limited Partner. Each Limited Partner further acknowledges and agrees that any such agreement by the General Partner with a Limited Partner to modify any of the restrictions and/or obligations imposed by this Section 9.5 (or to withhold Partnership Information) will not constitute a breach of any duty stated or implied in law or in equity to any Limited Partner, regardless of whether different agreements are reached with different Limited Partners.

(i) The provisions of this Section 9.5 will survive the withdrawal of any Partner or the Transfer of any Partner's interest in the Partnership and will be enforceable against such Partner after such withdrawal or Transfer.

ARTICLE 10.

TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS

10.1 Transfer Limitation.

Except as provided in this ARTICLE 10, no Unit may be Transferred, in whole or in part. Any attempted Transfer in violation of this ARTICLE 10 will be void ab initio.

10.2 Permissible Transfers.

(a) No Limited Partner may Transfer any portion of its Units without first obtaining the written consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld for any reason; provided, however, that such consent will not be required for a Transfer of a Unit (or portion thereof) by a Limited Partner to an Affiliate of such Limited Partner if all of the conditions relating to the applicable Transfer contained in Section 10.2(b) are satisfied; and provided, further, that upon the death of an individual Limited Partner, the rights and obligations of such Limited Partner will accrue to his or her estate, and the consent of the General Partner will not be required with respect to such event. The General Partner may not grant its consent to any Transfer for purposes of this Section I 0.2 if such Transfer would cause the Partnership to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation, or as an investment company required to be registered under the 0000 Xxx.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.2, in no event may all or any part of the Units of a Limited Partner be Transferred (including pursuant to Section 10.2(a)), unless all of the following conditions are satisfied or waived by the General Partner:

(1) the transferor or transferee has delivered to the General Partner an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the General Partner that the Transfer would not require registration under the Securities Act or any state securities laws;

(2) the transferor or transferee has delivered to the General Partner an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the General Partner that the Transfer will not adversely affect the status of the Partnership as a partnership under Subchapter K of the Code for federal income tax purposes, or cause the Partnership to become a “publicly traded partnership" within the meaning of Code §7704, or cause the Partnership to have to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act;

40 | LPA

(3) any required third party consent or approval to the Transfer has been obtained or waived, including the consent of any lender providing financing to the Partnership to the extent required under the terms of such financing;

(4) the General Partner is satisfied that the Transfer will not result in the Partnership being considered a "publicly traded partnership" as defined by Code §7704(b);

(5) the General Partner is satisfied that the Transfer, when considered in the aggregate with all other Transfers of Units within the preceding 12-month period, would not result in the Partnership being considered to have terminated within the meaning of Code §708;

(6) the General Partner has received an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to it that the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and making such representations and warranties as the General Partner determines to be advisable and in the best interest of the Partnership;

(7) the transferor or transferee bears all costs and expenses of the Transfer and the transferor's admission to the Partnership, including the actual legal fees of the Partnership; and

(8) the transferor and the transferee execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Partnership such other certificates, instruments and documents as the General Partner deems reasonably necessary, appropriate or desirable to effect the Transfer or the transferee's admission to the Partnership.

Upon request by the transferor, the General Partner must provide such ce1tifications as to factual matters that the General Partner knows to be true with respect to the Partnership and the Partners, other than the transferor, as may reasonably be required in connection with the giving of any opinion of counsel required by this Section 10.2(b).

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the DRULPA, no event affecting a Limited Pa1tner other than death (including bankruptcy or insolvency) will affect this Agreement.

10.3 Substitute Partner.

A transferee of any Partner may become a substituted Limited Partner, as to the Units transferred, in place of the transferor only upon the written consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld without reason or cause. The General Partner has the right to become a substituted Limited Partner. Unless a transferee of any Unit becomes a substituted Limited Partner in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such transferee will not be entitled to any of the rights granted to a Partner hereunder other than the right to receive all or part of the share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, expenses, credits, distributions, or returns of capital to which its transferor would otherwise be entitled with respect to the transferred interest.

41 | LPA

10.4 Assignment of the General Partner's Units.

The General Partner shall not Transfer any portion of its interest in the Partnership (other than to an Affiliate of the General Partner) without the consent of the Majority of Limited Partners.

10.5 Substitute General Partner.

A transferee of any portion of the Partnership interest of the General Partner that is transferred in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement will be admitted to the Partnership as a general partner, effective as of the date of such Transfer. A successor to all of the Partnership interest of the General Partner must carry on the business of the Partnership without dissolution.

10.6 Allocations Between Transferor and Transferee.

If any Transfer of a Unit occurs during a Fiscal Year, ARTICLE  7 and ARTICLE  8 will be applied to the transferor and transferee on the basis of an interim closing of the books of the Partnership as of the date of such Transfer.

10.7 Redemption.

(a) Limited Partners who have held their Units for at least one year may request that the Partnership repurchase all, but not less than all, of their Units. A Limited Partner's ability to request a redemption under this Section 10.7 may not be construed to mean a Limited Partner has any right to demand or receive the return of such Limited Partner's Capital Contribution or otherwise modify the limitations of Section 5.4. A Limited Partner wishing to have Units repurchased must mail or deliver in writing a request to the Partnership indicating such desire. The purchase price for a redeemed Unit will be the Redemption Price Per Unit as of the close of business on the applicable redemption date minus any fees incurred by the Partnership in connection with the redemption, with such fees to not exceed 2% of such Limited Partner’s Capital Contributions.

(b) The Partnership intends to redeem Units on a quarterly basis on the last business day of each calendar quarter and will not redeem in excess of 10% of the Units during any 12- month period, provided that the Partnership will not redeem any Units held by a Limited Partner prior to the time that is 60 calendar days after the Partnership receives the required written notice from the Limited Partner. The General Partner reserves the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to (1) reject any request for redemption, (2) change the Redemption Price Per Unit or prior notice period for redemptions, or (3) terminate, suspend and/or reestablish the Partnership's redemption program. The General Partner will determine from time to time whether the Partnership has sufficient excess cash from operations to repurchase Units. Generally, the cash available for redemptions will be limited to 10% of the Partnership’s operating cash flow from the previous fiscal year. If the funds set aside for the redemption program are not sufficient to accommodate all requests as of any calendar quarter end, then at such future time, if any, when sufficient funds become available in the General Partner's sole discretion, pending requests will be honored among all requesting Limited Partners in accordance with their order of receipt.

42 | LPA

10.8 Representations Regarding Transfers.

Each Limited Partner hereby covenants and agrees with the Partnership for the benefit of the Partnership and all Partners, that: (i)  it is not currently making a market in Units and will not in the future make a market in Units; (ii) it will not Transfer its Units on an established securities market, a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Code §7704(b) (and any Regulations, proposed Regulations, revenue rulings, or other official pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service or the Treasury Department that may be promulgated or published thereunder); and (iii) in the event such Regulations, revenue rulings, or other pronouncements treat any or all arrangements which facilitate the selling of Units (commonly referred to as "matching services") as being a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof, no Limited Pa1tner will Transfer any Units through a matching service that is not approved in advance by the General Partner.

10.9 Parties Not Bound to See to Trust or Equity.

Neither the Registrar and Transfer Agent nor the General Partner will be bound to see to the execution of any trust (whether express, implied or constructive), charge, pledge, or equity to which any Unit or any interest under this Agreement is subject, nor to ascertain or inquire whether any sale or assignment of any Unit or any interest under this Agreement by any Limited Partner is authorized by such trust, charge, pledge or equity, nor to recognize any Person as having any interest in any Unit, except for the Person recorded on the Register as the holder of such Unit. The Partnership, the General Partner and the Registrar and Transfer Agent will be entitled to treat the Person in whose name any Unit is registered as the absolute owner for all purposes. The receipt by any Person in whose name a Unit is recorded on the Register will be a sufficient discharge for all monies, securities and other property payable, issuable or deliverable for such Unit and from all liability therefor.

10.10 Compulsory Transfer or Acquisition of Units.

(a) If it comes to the attention of the General Pa1tner that any Unit is or may be owned or held directly or beneficially by any Person whose holding or continued holding of that Unit (whether on its own or in conjunction with any other circumstance appearing to the General Partner to be relevant) might in the sole and conclusive determination of the General Partner be likely to cause an Adverse Effect, the General Partner may serve a notice (a "Transfer Notice") upon the Person (or any one of such Persons where the Unit is registered in joint names) appearing in the Register of Limited Partners as, the holder (the "Vendor") of the Unit (the "Relevant Unit") requiring the Vendor within 21 calendar days (or such extended time as in all the circumstances the General Partner shall consider reasonable) to transfer (and/or procure the disposal of interests in) the Relevant Unit to another Person whose holding of the Relevant Unit, in the sole and conclusive determination of the General Partner, would not be likely to cause an Adverse Effect (such Person, an "Eligible Transferee"). On and after the date of the Transfer Notice, and until registration of a transfer of the Relevant Unit to which it relates under the provisions of this Section 10.10(a) or Section 10.l0(b) below, the rights and privileges attaching to the Relevant Unit will be suspended and not capable of exercise.

43 | LPA

(b) If within 21 calendar days after the giving of a Transfer Notice (or such extended time as in the circumstances the General Partner considers reasonable) the Transfer Notice has not been complied with to the satisfaction of the General Partner, the General Partner may arrange for the Partnership to compulsorily reacquire some or all of the Relevant Unit for the price for the Unit paid by the Vendor without interest.

(c) A Person who becomes aware that his holding, directly or beneficially, of the Unit will, or is likely to, cause an Adverse Effect, and who has not already received a Transfer Notice under Section 10.1O(a) above, shall immediately either transfer the Unit to an Eligible Transferee or Transferees or give a request in writing to the General Partner for the issue of a Transfer Notice under Section l 0.1O(a) above, provided that any such Transfer complies with Section  I 0.2.

(d) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the General Partner will be entitled to assume without inquiry that none of the Units are held in such a way as to entitle the General Partner to serve a Transfer Notice in respect of the Unit, unless it has actual knowledge of a reason to believe otherwise. However, the General Partner may call upon any holder (or any one of joint holders) of the Unit by notice in writing to provide such information and evidence as it will require upon any matter connected with or in relation to such holder or joint holders of the Unit. If such information and evidence is not provided within such reasonable period (being not less than 21 calendar days after service of the notice requiring the same) as may be specified by the General Partner in the notice, the General Partner may, in its absolute discretion, treat any Unit held by such a holder or joint holders as being held in such a way as to entitle the General Partner to serve a Transfer Notice for the Unit.

(e) The General Partner will not be required to give any reasons for any decision, determination or declaration taken or made under this Section 10.10. The exercise of the powers conferred by this Section 10.10 will not be questioned or invalidated in any case on the ground that there was insufficient evidence of direct or beneficial ownership of the Unit by any Person or that the true direct or beneficial owner of any Unit was otherwise than appeared to the General Partner at the relevant date provided that such powers have been exercised in good faith.

ARTICLE 11.

WINDING UP

11.1 Events Requiring Winding Up.

(a) Except as provided in Section 11.1(b), no Partner has the right to wind up the Partnership.

(b) The Partnership will be wound up upon the first to occur of the following events:

(1) at any time, if the General Partner elects to wind up the Partnership;

(2) the expiration of the Partnership Term;

(3) the sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets;

44 | LPA

(4) at any time, with the written consent of all Partners to wind up and terminate the Partnership;

(5) an event of withdrawal by the General Partner (or, where the General Partner is removed under Section 3.10, the failure of the Limited Partners to appoint a successor general partner); or

(6) a decree by a court requiring the winding up or dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to the DRULPA.

A withdrawal by a General Pa1tner will not be a breach of this Agreement. The General Partner must provide written notice of its intention to withdraw to each of the Limited Pa1tners at least 30 days prior to its withdrawal from the Partnership.

11.2 Election to Continue the Partnership.

To the extent permitted by the DRULPA, upon the occurrence of an event described in Section 1l.l(b)(2). ill,illorill,the Partnership will not be wound up and its business will be continued, and its prope1ties and assets will not be liquidated, if, within 90 days (or such longer period permitted by law) after the occurrence of such event, a Supermajority of Limited Partners agree in writing to continue the Partnership and, if there is no remaining general partner of the Partnership, to elect a Person to be admitted to the Partnership as successor general partner thereof, who will be required to acquire at least a one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) interest in the capital, profits and losses of the Partnership and assume all of the obligations of the General Partner. Upon the satisfaction of all conditions necessary to the continuation of the Partnership, including the admission of a successor general partner thereof and the amendment of the Partnership's Ce1tificate to the extent required by applicable law, the Partnership will be continued without any further consent or approval of any Partner, in which case the Partnership will continue to conduct the business of the Partnership with the Partnership's properties and assets in accordance with, and the Partnership and interests of the Partners will continue to be governed by, the terms of this Agreement. If the business of the Partnership is continued pursuant to this Section 11.2, any withdrawing General Partner's interest in the Partnership shall be converted into the interest of a Limited Partner, and the interest in the Partnership acquired by the successor general partner will (if acquired from the Partnership) reduce the interests of all other Partners (including the withdrawing General Partner) ratably in relation to their interest in the Partnership prior to such reduction.

11.3 Winding Up.

(a) Upon the occurrence of an event requiring winding up described in Section 11. l(b) (and provided that no election to continue the Partnership has been made pursuant to Section 11.2), the Pa1inership will continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Partners, as required by law. No Partner may take any action that is inconsistent with the winding up of the Partnership's business and affairs. The General Partner will be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership and will take full account of the Partnership's liabilities and property and the Partnership prope1iy will be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with maximizing the realizable value thereof In this regard, a reasonable time will be allowed after an event requiring winding up occurs for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Partnership and the liquidation of its assets in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect between the Partners during the period of winding up and liquidation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the proceeds realized by the Partnership from the liquidation of its assets will be applied and distributed in the following order:

(I) first, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership's debts and liabilities to creditors (other than to Partners);

(2) second, to the payment and discharge of any debts owed the Partners, including (i) any loans made by Pa1tners, and (ii) any Partnership Expenses paid by the General Partner or any Affiliate on behalf of the Partnership for which the General Partner or Affiliate has not been reimbursed by the Partnership; and

(3) the balance, if any, shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section 8.3.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.3(a), which require liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, to the extent permitted by law, if prior to or upon an event requiring winding up of the Partnership the General Partner determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners, the General Pa1tner may defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (including to those Partners as creditors). The General Partner must use commercially reasonable efforts to make any distributions contemplated by Section 1l .3(a) in cash: provided, however, that if the General Partner determines that it would be advisable and in the best interests of the Partners to distribute Partnership assets in kind, the General Partner may make distributions in liquidation of the Partnership in kind in lieu of cash in accordance with Section 11.3(a). Any such distributions in kind wil1 be subject to the following rules and conditions.

(1) The General Partner will determine the fair market value of each Pa1tnership asset. All Partnership assets will be valued at their current fair market value as determined in good faith by the General Partner.

(2) The assets to be distributed in kind shall be distributed in undivided interests such that each Partner receives its proportionate interest in each such asset distributed in kind.

(3) The assets to be distributed in kind will be deemed to have been sold for their fair market value determined pursuant to this Agreement, and immediately prior to the distribution, the Net Profit or Net Loss resulting from such deemed sale shall be allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Pa1tners pursuant to ARTICLE 7.

(4) The General Partner may cause the distributed assets to be subject to such agreements, conditions and restrictions relating to the disposition, management and operation of such assets as the General Partner deems reasonable and equitable.
