3.6 Capital Accounts

(a) Establishment. There shall be established for each Partner a capital account (“Capital Account”) on the books of the Partnership to be maintained and adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, which shall control the division of Partnership assets upon liquidation of the Partnership.

(b) Computation.

(i) Any deductions for depreciation, cost recovery or amortization or expense in lieu thereof, attributable to a Partnership asset shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property were equal to its Carrying Value;

(ii) Any income, gain or loss attributable to the taxable disposition of any Partnership asset shall be determined by the Partnership as if the adjusted basis of such Partnership asset as of such date of disposition were equal to the amount of the Carrying Value of such Partnership asset as of such date;

(iii) Immediately prior to the distribution of any Partnership asset, the Capital Accounts of all Partners shall be adjusted (consistent with the provisions hereof and Section 704 of the Code) to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to the Partnership asset being distributed as if it had been recognized upon an actual sale of such asset immediately prior to such distribution and had been -allocated among the Partners in accordance with Section 4.2;

(iv) The computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made by the Partnership and, as to those items described in Section 705(a)(1)(B) or Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, without regard to the fact that such items are not includable in gross income or are neither currently deductible nor capitalizable for federal income tax purposes. For purposes of this Section 3.6, amounts paid or incurred to organize the Partnership (unless an election is made pursuant to Code Section 709(b)) or to promote the sale of interests in the Partnership and deductions for any losses incurred in connection with the sale or exchange of Partnership assets disallowed pursuant to Section 267(a)(1) or Section 707(b) of the Code shall be treated as expenditures described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code; and

(v) The amount of any adjustments to the adjusted bases (or Carrying Values) of any Partnership assets pursuant to Section 743 of the Code shall not be taken into account.

(c) Section 754 Election.

(d) Transferees. A transferee of a Partnership Interest will succeed to the Capital Account relating to the Partnership Interest.

(e) Other Accounts. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may maintain such other accounts for the Partners as it deems necessary or appropriate for financial reporting purposes.

3.7 Other Provisions With Respect to Capital Contributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Partner shall be entitled to priority over any other Partner with respect to a return of its Capital Contributions. No payment of fees, salary or loans or of other amounts paid in connection with arm’s-length transactions with a Partner shall be considered a return of Capital Contributions.

3.8 No Duty to Restore Negative Capital Account. Except to the extent otherwise required herein or agreed to in writing by a Partner, such Partner is not required to contribute or lend any cash to the Partnership to enable the Partnership to return any other Partner’s Capital Contribution or to make any distribution to any Partner, even if such Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account. This provision does not negate any right of contribution a General Partner may have as against any other General Partner.

ARTICLE 4. DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS

4.1 Distributions Of Distributable Cash. The Distributable Cash of the Partnership (if any) shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with their Sharing Ratios. Distributions of Distributable Cash with respect to a Fiscal Year shall be made at such times as the General Partner determines, but in no event shall such distributions be made later than the first business day following the lapse of 45 days after the end of the Fiscal Year to which it relates. No payment of fees, salary or loans or of other amounts paid in connection with arm’s-length transactions to a Partner shall be considered a distribution. Distributions of cash or property in respect of a Partnership Interest shall be made only to the Partner who, according to the books and records of the Partnership, is the holder of such Partnership Interest in respect of which such distribution is made on the date of such distribution. The date for any distribution of Distributable Cash shall be determined by the General Partner, in its sole discretion, but shall generally be the last day of a fiscal quarter.

4.2 General Allocations.

(a) Profits. Except as set forth in Section 4.3 and Section 13.1, Profits of the Partnership shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their relative Sharing Ratios.

(b) Losses. Except as set forth in Section 4.3 and Section 13.1, Losses shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their relative Loss Ratios, or as otherwise agreed to by the Partners.

4.3 Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order before allocations of Profits or Losses are made:

(a) Limitation on Allocation of Losses. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.2(b) hereof, if the amount of Losses for any Fiscal Year that would otherwise be allocated to a Limited Partner under Section 4.2(b) would cause such Limited Partner to have a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account as of the last day of such Fiscal Year, then such Loss shall be allocated to the General Partner. Notwithstanding Section 4.2(a) above, to the extent the General Partner has received a special allocation of Losses pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Profits shall be first allocated to the General Partner before making any allocations under Section 4.2(a) above.

(b) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4, if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable period, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such taxable period (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable periods) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.7042(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-20)(2). This Section 43(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Chargeback of Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)( 4), notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4, if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership taxable period, each Partner who has a share of the Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such taxable period (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable periods) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.7042(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-20)(2). This Section 43(c) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)( 4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Limited Partner unexpectedly receives adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or 1.704(b)A(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specifically allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the deficit balance, if any, in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 43( d) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Limited Partner would have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account after all other allocations provided for in this Article 4 have been made as if this Section 43(d) were not in this Agreement.

(e) Gross Income Allocations. In the event any Limited Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any Partnership taxable period that is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Partner is obligated to restore and (ii) the amount such Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections and 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.3(e) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account after all other allocations provided in this Article 4 have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.3(e) and Section 4.3(d) were not in this Agreement.

(f) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Sharing Ratios. If the General Partner determines in its good faith discretion that the Partnership’s Nonrecourse Deductions must be allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the General Partner is authorized, upon notice to the Limited Partners, to revise the prescribed ratio to the numerically

closest ratio that does satisfy such requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Partners who bear the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

4.4 Other Allocation Rules.

(a) Allocations Upon Transfers of Partnership Interests. If any Partnership Interest is transferred during any Fiscal Year, the items of income and loss attributable to such Partnership Interest for such Fiscal Year shall be divided and allocated proportionately between the transferor and the transferee based upon the number of days during such Fiscal Year for which each party was the holder of the Partnership Interest transferred, determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.4(b) below.

(b) Date Transfer Deemed to Occur. Subject to applicable Treasury Regulations, the Partnership will treat Partners who are the holders of Partnership Interests as of the close of business on the first day of a calendar month as being the only holders with respect to such Partnership Interests during such month; provided, however, that gain or loss on a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Partnership assets or on a sale or other disposition of a substantial capital asset of the Partnership not in the ordinary course of business, as determined by the General Partner, shall be allocated to the holder of a Partnership Interest on the date of such sale or other disposition, and any distribution of proceeds of any such sale or other disposition shall be made to the holder of such Partnership Interest on the date of such sale or other disposition.

(c) Tax Allocations. For federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as the Profits and Losses pursuant to Sections 4.2(a) and 4.2(b) or in the same manner as amounts are allocated pursuant to Section 4.3; provided, however, that if a Partnership asset has a Carrying Value other than its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes, then items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit related to such property for tax purposes shall be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted basis of the asset for tax purposes and its Carrying Value in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code as set forth in Section 4.5 below.

4.5 Allocations Under Section 704(c) of the Code. In the event that the Carrying Values of any Partnership assets differ from their respective adjusted bases for federal income tax purposes, the Partnership shall maintain a separate Tax Capital Account for each Partner (a “Tax Capital Account”) computed in the manner described in Section 3.7 hereof but with the following modifications (a) the value of Capital Contributions or distributions of property shall be computed with reference to the property’s adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes rather than its fair market value and (b) any deductions for depreciation, cost recovery, amortization or other expense in lieu thereof attributable to such property and any income, gain or loss attributable to the taxable disposition of such property shall be computed by reference to such property’s adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes rather than its Carrying Value as

required under Section 3.7. Amounts realized, income, gain, loss and deduction for federal income tax purposes (and accordingly computed without regarding to the adjustments contained in Section 3.7 hereof other than Section 3.7(b)(iv)) shall be allocated among the Partners in a manner designed to reduce the difference between each Person’s Capital Account and such Person’s Tax Capital Account (or, if such Capital Accounts are equal, to maintain such equality) to the maximum extent permitted by the Code.

4.6 Working Capital Reserve. From time to time, the General Partner, using reasonable business judgment, may establish and maintain a Working Capital Reserve (herein so called). If and to the extent the General Partner determines that funds in the Working Capital Reserve that have not been utilized by the Partnership are no longer required to be so maintained, such funds shall be released from the Working Capital Reserve and distributed in the manner in which they would have been distributed had they not been set aside to fund such Working Capital Reserve. The General Partner shall determine, in its reasonable discretion, the periods to which any funds released from the Working Capital Reserve are attributable.

4.7 Distribution in Kind. Unless authorized as contemplated by Section 5.2(d), no assets will be distributed in kind, regardless of any potential unrealized depreciation or appreciation in respect thereof. Any in-kind distributions will be made proportionately among the Partners in accordance with the percentage of the distributions the Partners are entitled to receive.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1, the General Partner may not cause the Partnership to do any of the following without the consent of a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners (or, in the case of subsection (a), such other consent as would be required to amend this Agreement to provide such act would not violate this Agreement):

(a) Right to Remove. The General Partner may be removed from the Partnership by a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners if (i) they, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that (A) the General Partner or any of its officers, directors, agents or employees is guilty of fraud, dishonesty, unethical business conduct, moral turpitude or similar acts of misconduct that are likely to materially adversely affect the Partnership; (B) the General Partner has failed or refused to perform in all material respects the duties called for of it under this Agreement or otherwise to have breached any material agreement contained herein; or (C) any officer, director, agent or employee of the General Partner has become mentally or physically incapacitated to such extent that the General Partner is or shall be unable to perform fully its duties under this Agreement for a period of more than eight weeks; (ii) a Transfer of the General Partner’s Partnership Interest in violation of this Agreement is purported to be made; or (iii) the General Partner has Transferred all of its rights as a General Partner, all of its Partnership Interest as a General Partner or all of its Management Right as a General Partner.

(b) Consequences of Wrongful Withdrawal.

Furthermore, any Person named as a new General Partner pursuant to Section 5.8 or 12.2 shall have, for a period of one year following such Event of Withdrawal, the right to purchase such Partnership Interest for its fair market value (as determined by the General Partner using such reasonable methods as it shall adopt) .

CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE, but excluding any such items incurred as a result of something for which the General Partner is liable under Section 5.6, and on request by the Person indemnified the Partnership shall advance expenses associated with the defense of any related action.

5.12 Power of Attorney. Each Partner appoints the General Partner (and any Liquidating Manager or interim manager appointed pursuant to Section 13.1) as that Partner’s attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing, swearing to, acknowledging and delivering all certificates, documents and other instruments as may be necessary, appropriate or advisable in the judgment of the General Partner (or Liquidating Manager or interim manager appointed pursuant to Section 13.1) in furtherance of the business of the Partnership or complying with applicable law, including, without limitation, filings of the type described in Section 2.7 and amendments to this Agreement to reflect any admission or withdrawal of a Partner in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other matter approved in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. This power of attorney is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest. On request by the General Partner (or Liquidating Manager or interim manager appointed pursuant to Section 13.1), a Partner shall confirm its grant of this power of attorney or any use of it by the General Partner (or Liquidating Manager or interim manager appointed pursuant to Section 13.1) and shall execute, swear to, acknowledge and deliver any such certificate, document or other instrument.

12.2 Continuation. If an event described in clause (b) of Section 12.1 occurs, the Partnership will not be dissolved and the business of the Partnership may be continued and no winding up shall be required if (a) there remains at least one General Partner and the remaining General Partner or Partners continue to carry on the business of the Partnership, which such General Partner(s) are expressly permitted to do or (b) within 90 days after the occurrence, a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and, to the extent that they desire or if there are no remaining General Partners agree to the appointment, effective as of the date of an Event of Withdrawal, of one or more new General Partners.

ARTICLE 13. WINDING UP AND TERMINATION

13.1 Winding Up and Termination.

(a) General. As expeditiously as possible following a dissolution, the Liquidating Manager shall proceed to wind up the affairs of the Partnership, liquidate the assets, pay the liabilities and make liquidating distributions to the Partners, in the following order of priority:

(i) subject to Section 5.2(d), the Liquidating Manager shall sell Partnership assets (which sale may be made to Partners and their Affiliates) only to the extent necessary to pay all of the debts and liabilities of the Partnership (including, without limitation, all expenses incurred in liquidation and debts and liabilities owed to Partners other than in their capacity as partners) or otherwise make adequate provision therefor (including, without limitation, the establishment of a Liquidation Escrow to pay for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the Liquidating Manager may reasonably determine), and any resulting Profit or Loss from each sale shall be computed and allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Partners in the manner described in Article 4;

(ii) subject to Section S.2(d), the Liquidating Manager shall sell all remaining Partnership property (other than the Liquidation Escrow) (which sale may be made to Partners and their Affiliates), and any resulting Profit or Loss from each sale shall be computed and allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Partners in the manner described in Article 4;

(iii) the fair market value of any Partnership property that is to be distributed in kind shall be determined by the Liquidating Manager using such reasonable methods as it shall adopt and the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the Unrealized Gain or Loss inherent in property that has not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously would be allocated among the Partners if there were a taxable disposition of that property for the fair market value of that property on the date of distribution;

(iv) all remaining cash and other Partnership property (other than the Liquidation Escrow) shall be distributed among the Partners in accordance with the positive Capital Account balances of the Partners.

(b) Powers. Until final distribution, the Liquidating Manager shall continue to operate the Partnership properties with all of the power and authority of the General Partner.

(d) Termination; Release of Liquidation Escrow. At the time such distributions are made in accordance with subsection (a), the Partnership shall terminate, but if at any time thereafter any of the funds in the Liquidation Escrow are released because, in the opinion of the Liquidating Manager, the need for such escrow has ended, such funds shall be distributed in accordance with subsection (a).

(e) No Recourse. No Partner shall have any recourse against the Partnership or any other Partner for the return of its Capital Contributions or any distributions not required by this Agreement except as contemplated by Section 3.7.

13.2 Cancellation of Certificate. On completion of the distribution of Partnership assets as provided herein, the Partnership is terminated, and the General Partner (or such other Person or Persons as the Partnership Act may require or permit) shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate and any other filings made as provided in Section 2.9 and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate or reflect the termination of the Partnership.
