Service) apply to any Units in the Partnership transferred to a service provider
by the Partnership on or after the effective date of such Revenue Procedure in
connection with services provided to the Partnership. For purposes of

the “partner who has responsibility for federal income tax reporting” by the

agree to comply with all requirements of the Safe Harbor described in the Notice
(or any similar guidance that is issued in final form by the Internal Revenue
Service), including, without limitation, the requirement that each Partner shall
prepare and file all federal income tax returns reporting the income tax effects
of each Safe Harbor Unit issued by the Partnership in a manner consistent with
the requirements of the Notice (or similar final guidance). A

(ii) Upon

federal income tax treatment of the issuance of Units to a service provider by
the Partnership, each Partner authorizes the General Partner, in its sole
discretion, to supplement, amend or amend and restate this Agreement to the
extent necessary to comply with such final guidance.

more than one Unit shall have a single capital account that reflects all its
Units, regardless of the class of Units owned by that Partner and regardless of

to the Partnership in excess of the amounts required hereunder to be contributed

Partner. The amounts of any such advances shall be a debt of the
Partnership to such Partner and shall be payable or collectible only out of the
Partnership assets in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such
advances are made. The repayment of loans from a Partner to the
Partnership upon liquidation shall be subject to the order of priority set forth

(ii) The
General Partner has the power to make such allocations and to take such actions
necessary under the Code or other applicable law to effect and to maintain the

nonrecourse debt are hereby incorporated herein by this reference and shall be
applied to the allocation of Partnership items of income, gain, loss or

Regulations. However, the Partners do not intend that the “obligation
to restore deficit” described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) of the Treasury

Partner. For

shall have the authority to allocate all expenses of the Partnership and its
subsidiaries among such in such manner as they may reasonably
determine. The character of any distributable funds on hand at the
Partnership level shall be determined by the General Partner based upon the
actual source of such funds (e.g., if the funds arose as a result of a Major
Capital Event at a subsidiary level of the Partnership, such funds are Capital
Proceeds at the Partnership level even though the associated cash flow to the
Partnership from such subsidiary was dividend income). The General
Partner has the authority to classify and apportion any such amounts as Cyprus
Cash Flow, Other Cash Flow, Cyprus Capital Proceeds or Other Capital Proceeds in
accordance with this Agreement in any manner as they may reasonably
determine. Any proceeds that are re-invested in a Vessel Investment
by the Partnership shall lose their initial characterization (as Cash Flow or
Capital Proceeds) upon such re-investment.

Partnership, who shall, subject to Applicable Law, have such titles and exercise
and perform such powers and duties as shall be assigned to them from time to

residents of the Cayman Islands. Any officer may be removed by the
General Partner at any time, with or without cause. Each officer
shall hold office until his or her successor shall be duly designated and shall
qualify or until the earlier of the officer’s death, resignation or

Person. The salaries or other compensation, if any, of the officers
and agents of the Partnership shall be fixed by the General
Partner.

Section

in the opinion of the General Partner, there is Significant ERISA Participation
in the Partnership, the General Partner shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to operate the Partnership as an OC or to comply with such other
exception as may be available under ERISA or the DOL Regulations to prevent the
assets of the Partnership from being treated as the assets of any ERISA Partner
for purposes of ERISA or the DOL Regulations.

(a) The
Partner or the transferee must file with the Partnership a written and dated
instrument of such Transfer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the General Partner, executed by both the transferor and the transferee, which
instrument shall (i) contain the acceptance by the transferee of all of the

expressly waived by the General Partner, the transferor or transferee shall
deliver to the Partnership an opinion of counsel acceptable to the General
Partner that (i) such Transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), applicable state securities laws, and any rules or regulations
promulgated thereunder, and will not otherwise cause the Partnership to be in
violation of such laws and regulations, (ii) the Transfer will not result in the
termination of the Partnership within the meaning of Section 708(b) of the Code,
(iii) the Transfer will not adversely affect the status of the Partnership as a

portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute “plan assets” under ERISA
or the Code or to be subject to the provisions of ERISA to substantially the
same extent as if owned directly by any ERISA Partner;
(c) The
transferor Partner shall have received the prior written consent of the General
Partner to such Transfer; and
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, upon the death of a Partner, the Partnership shall have the
option to repurchase the Units of such Partner (or his estate) for an amount
equal to one hundred percent (100%) of that Partner’s Capital Account on the
date of the death of such Partner by giving notice to the estate of such Partner
on or before the ninetieth (90th) day following the date upon which the
Partnership receives notification of the death of such Partner (the “Repurchase
Notice”). The Partnership shall have one hundred eighty (180)
days following the date of the Repurchase Notice to make the payment related to
such repurchase.
Section
11.3 Effect of Transfer of

Section
11.4 Admission of Transferee as
Partner. A
transferee of a Partner’s Units desiring to be admitted as a Partner must
execute a counterpart of, or an agreement adopting, this Agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to the General Partner. The admission of such
transferee (including, without limitation, a transferee by reason of the death
of a Partner) is subject to the transferor obtaining the prior written consent
of the General Partner. Upon admission of the transferee as a
Partner, the transferee shall have, to the extent of the Units transferred, the
rights and powers and shall be subject to the restrictions and liabilities of a
Partner under this Agreement and Applicable Law. The transferee shall
also be liable, to the extent of the Units transferred, for the unfulfilled
obligations, if any, of the transferor Partner to make Capital Contributions,
but shall not be obligated for liabilities unknown to the transferee at the time
he was admitted as a Partner and that could not be ascertained from this
Agreement. The transferor Partner is not released from any liability
to the Partnership under this Agreement or Applicable Law upon the admission of
the transferee.

11.5 Other
Business. Except
as expressly provided otherwise herein, the Partners may engage in or possess
interests in other business ventures (unconnected with the Partnership) of every
kind and description, independently or with others, including businesses

the income or profits therefrom.
Section
11.6 Representations And
Warranties Of Limited Partners. Each
Limited Partner represents and warrants as follows:
(a) The
Partner has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and
to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of this
Agreement;
(b) This
Agreement shall constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Partner,
enforceable against the Partner in accordance with its terms, subject to
principles of equity and laws of general application relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency and the relief of debtors;
(c) The
Partner is experienced in evaluating and investing in entities such as the
Partnership. The Partner has evaluated the merits and risks of investing in the
Partnership and can afford a complete loss of his investment
therein;
(d) The
Partner is acquiring an interest in the Partnership for investment for its own
account and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any
distribution thereof. The Partner understands that such interest has not been
registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state by
reason of specific exemptions from the registration provisions of the Securities
Act and applicable state securities laws, which exemptions are dependent upon,
among other things, the bona fide nature of investment intent of the Partner as
expressed herein;
(e) The
Partner’s interest in the Partnership must be held indefinitely by the Partner
unless such interest is subsequently registered under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is
available. The Partner is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act which permit limited resale of securities purchased in a
private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including,
without limitation, the existence of a public market for the securities, the
availability of certain current public information regarding the Partnership,
the resale occurring not less than one year after a person has purchased and
paid for the security to be sold, the resale being through a “broker’s
transaction” or in a transaction directly with a “market maker” (as provided by
Rule 144(f)) and the number of securities being sold during any three (3) month
period not exceeding specified limitations;
(f) The
Partner understands that no public market now exists for any of the securities
issued by the Partnership and that a public market is likely never to exist;

(g) The
Partner acknowledges that (i) it has been given the opportunity to make
such inquiries concerning the proposed operations of the Partnership as the
Partner considers necessary or advisable to enable him to form a decision
concerning the purchase of an interest in the Partnership, (ii) all
documents, records and books of the Partnership that the Partner has asked to
examine in connection with the proposed purchase of Units in the Partnership
have been made available to the Partner, and (iii) the Partner has had an
opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the General Partner’s
executive officers, directors, employees and agents concerning the Partnership’s
business, financial condition, results of operations and properties and the
terms and conditions of such purchase, and all such questions have been answered
to the satisfaction of the Partner.
Section
11.7 ERISA
Partners.
(a) Action by an Limited
Partner. If the General Partner determines, in the good faith
exercise of its judgment, that there is a reasonable likelihood that any or all
of the assets of the Partnership would be deemed to be “plan assets” for
purposes of ERISA (and appropriate relief, as determined by the General Partner,
has not been obtained from the DOL or otherwise), each ERISA Partner will, at
the request of the General Partner, use its best efforts to dispose of its Units
(or such portion of its Units that, in the sole discretion of the General
Partner, is sufficient to prevent the Partnership’s assets from being deemed
“plan assets” for purposes of ERISA) to a Non-Plan Party at a price reasonably
acceptable to such ERISA Partner in a transaction that complies with Section
11.2.
(b) Action by the General
Partner. If an ERISA Partner has not disposed of all of its
Units (or such
portion of its Units that, in the sole
discretion of the General Partner, is sufficient to prevent the Partnership’s
assets from being deemed “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA) within thirty (30)
days of the General Partner having notified such ERISA Partner of the
determination set forth in Section 11.7(a), then, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, the General Partner shall have the right, but not the
obligation, upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice, to do, in its sole
discretion, any or all of the following to reduce or alleviate any restrictions,
prohibitions or other material complications resulting from the Partnership’s
assets being deemed “plan assets” for the purposes of ERISA:
(i) offer
to each Partner, excluding all ERISA Partners, the opportunity to purchase a
portion of the ERISA Partner’s Units at the Fair Market Value
thereof;
(ii) offer
to any Non-Plan Party the opportunity to purchase, or purchase itself, at the
Fair Market Value thereof, all or any portion of the ERISA Partner’s Units that
remains after operation of paragraph (i) of this Section 11.7(b);
(iii) liquidate
all or any portion of the ERISA Partner’s Units or make a special distribution
in respect of such Units to such Partner, in which case such ERISA Partner’s
right to receive future distributions pursuant to Sections 7.2 and 13.3 shall be
appropriately adjusted in good faith by the General Partner, and the General
Partner may, in its sole discretion, choose to distribute cash, cash equivalents
and other property or any combination of the foregoing, in an amount (or having
a Fair Market Value) equal to the Fair Market Value of such Units;
or

Partnership

(iv) dissolve
the Partnership and distribute the Partnership assets in accordance with Article
XIII.
In
determining the appropriate action to take under this Section 11.7(b), the
General Partner shall take into consideration the effect of such action on all
of the Partners, including those Partners that have not caused the General
Partner to consider any of the foregoing actions. Unless such action
results from the failure of the Partnership to be treated as an OC or to comply
with any other exception set forth in the DOL Regulations because the General
Partner contravenes any provision of this Agreement, all costs and expenses in
connection with Section 11.7(a) and this Section 11.7(b) shall be paid by such
Partner.
(c) Documentation, etc.
The details and documentation relating to any transaction or transactions
effected pursuant to this Section 11.7 shall be as determined by the General
Partner in the good faith exercise of its judgment. Upon the closing
of any transaction or transactions effected pursuant to this Section 11.7, the
General Partner (i) may, in its sole and absolute discretion, admit each
purchaser (which is not already a Partner) on such terms and upon the delivery
of such documents as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion,
shall deem to be appropriate, and (ii) shall make such additional adjustments to
the Capital Accounts, Capital Contributions, Unrecovered Capital Contributions,
Percentage Interests and voting rights of the ERISA Partner and of all Partners
who have purchased Units pursuant to this Section 11.7 as it shall deem, in its
reasonable judgment, to be equitable to all Partners. The General Partner shall
make such revisions to the records of the Partnership as may be necessary or
appropriate to reflect the admission of each purchaser (which is not already a
Partner immediately prior to the time of such purchase) being admitted to the
Partnership as a Partner.

RIGHTS
OF LIMITED PARTNERS
Section
12.1 Voting Rights; Record
Date.
(a) Limited
Partners shall have the entitlement to cast a vote, give a consent or provide or
withhold any approval as otherwise expressly provided herein and by Applicable
Law. In all matters on which Limited Partners may cast a vote, give a
consent or provide or withhold any approval hereunder, or under Applicable Law,
or otherwise, each Limited Partner other than a Class D Partner shall have one
(1) vote (or a fraction thereof) for each Priority Unit (or fraction thereof)
held by such Priority Partner, subject to the limitations as set forth in
Section 12.1(d). The Class D Partners shall not be entitled to
vote on any matter, unless required by Applicable Law or as set forth under
Section 12.5. Whenever the approval of a specified percentage of
the Partners or Units, or class of Partners or Units, is required under this
Agreement or the Applicable Law, the percentage refers to the Partners holding
the appropriate Percentage Interest and not to a percentage of the individual
Partners or class of individual Partners. Further, in the case of
(i) Units disposed because of the death of a Partner but the assignee has
not been admitted to the Partnership as a Partner, (ii) Units held by a Partner
who is mentally disabled and unable to attend to his or her business affairs or,
(iii) a Partner in breach of this Agreement, which breach has not been cured,
the Priority Unit Percentage Interest represented by such Units shall be ignored
for purposes of determining whether the requisite Partners or class of Partners
have approved or consented.

(b) For
purposes of determining the Limited Partners entitled to notice of or to vote at
a meeting of the Limited Partners or to otherwise give consents or approvals,
the General Partner may set a Record Date, which shall not be less than ten (10)
nor more than sixty (60) days before (i) the date of the meeting, or (ii) in the
event that approvals are sought without a meeting, the date by which Limited
Partners are requested in writing by the General Partner to give such consents
or approvals.
(c) The
General Partner shall provide prior written notice to the Limited Partners of
any Record Date specifying (i) the expiry of such Record Date and
(ii) the action(s) in respect of which each Limited Partner will be
entitled to cast a vote, give a consent or provide or withhold any
approval.
(d) Prior
to any such Limited Partner becoming a Partner, the General Partner shall
provide notice of the items in Section 12.1(c) to each Limited Partner who
becomes a Limited Partner after any Record Date has been set pursuant to Section
12.1(b) but prior to the expiry of such Record Date. Each Limited
Partner who acquires Units after the passing of a Record Date set by the General
Partner with respect to any action pursuant to Section 12.1(b) hereby
acknowledges that it shall not be entitled to cast a vote, give a consent or
provide or withhold any approval with respect to such action, unless required by
Applicable Law.
Section
12.2 Information.
(a) Each
Limited Partner is entitled to all information to which that Partner is entitled
to have access pursuant to Applicable Law under the circumstances and subject to
the conditions therein stated.
(b) The
Partners acknowledge that, from time to time, they may receive information from
or regarding the Partnership in the nature of trade secrets or that otherwise is
confidential, the release of which may be damaging to the Partnership or Persons
with which it does business. Each member shall hold in strict confidence any
information it receives regarding the Partnership that is identified as being
confidential (and if that information is provided in writing, that is so marked)
and may not disclose it to any Person other than another Partner, except for
disclosures (i) compelled by law (but the Partner must notify the General
Partner promptly of any request for that information, before disclosing it if
practicable), (ii) to advisers or representatives of the Partner or Persons
to which that Partner’s Units may be Transferred as permitted by this Agreement,
but only if the recipients have agreed to be bound by the provisions of this
Section 12.2, or (iii) of information that Partner has also received
from a source independent of the Partnership that the Partner reasonably
believes such Partner obtained the information without breach of
confidentiality. The Partners acknowledge that breach of the provisions of this
Section 12.2 may cause irreparable injury to the Partnership for which monetary
damages are inadequate, difficult to compute, or both. Accordingly, the members
agree that the provisions of this Section 12.2 may be enforced by temporary or
permanent injunctive relief without the need for posting bond or showing actual
damages.

Section
12.3 Withdrawal of the General
Partner and Continuation of the Partnership.
(a) The
General Partner may withdraw from the Partnership at any time upon notice to the
Partners. Upon the withdrawal of the General Partner that results in
there being no General Partner, the Partnership shall not be dissolved, if,
within ninety (90) days after such event of withdrawal of such General Partner,
the Partners holding at least eighty percent (80%) of the Priority Units agree
in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment,
effective as of the date of withdrawal of the General Partner, of one or more
additional General Partners.
(b) Upon
the occurrence of an event of withdrawal of the General Partner that results in
there being no General Partner, without continuation of the Partnership as
provided above, the affairs of the Partnership shall be wound up in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement.
(c) Any
Person who acquires, in any manner whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in
this Section 12.3 and as provided in Section 11, the interest, or any portion
thereof, of the General Partner shall not be the General Partner but shall
become a special limited partner (a “Special
Limited Partner”) upon his written acceptance and adoption of all the
terms and provisions of this Agreement. A Special Limited Partner shall, to the
extent of the interest transferred to him, acquire no more than the interest of
the General Partner in the Partnership as it existed on the date of such
transfer, and shall be entitled to receive distributions in respect of such
interest at such time as the General Partner shall be entitled to receive
distributions from the Partnership. No Special Limited Partner shall
have any right to participate in the management of the affairs of the
Partnership or to vote with the Limited Partners, and the interest acquired by
such Special Limited Partner shall be disregarded in determining whether any
action has been taken by any percentage in interest of the Limited
Partners.
(d) Upon
the date on which the withdrawal of the General Partner is deemed to have become
effective pursuant to this Agreement, all of the General Partner’s rights in the
books of account, records and papers of the Partnership, shall immediately, and
without further assignment, pass to and become vested in, the remaining
Partners. Neither a withdrawn General Partner nor its legal
representative shall have any voice in the affairs of the Partnership after the
date of its withdrawal, but the General Partner or its legal representative
shall have access to the books of the Partnership and the right to make copies
thereof to such extent as may be necessary to obtain full information with
respect to its Units.
(e) The
General Partner shall not have the right to partially withdraw from the
Partnership (it being understood that the General Partner may transfer its
interest in the Partnership pursuant to Section 11).
Section
12.4 Removal of General
Partner.
(a) The
Class A Limited Partners may remove the General Partner if: (i) the
General Partner willfully breaches this Agreement; (ii) a Majority in Interest
of the Class A Units notify the General Partner in writing of such breach; and
(iii) the General Partner fails to cure such breach prior to the final
determination of a court of competent jurisdiction that the General Partner
willfully breached this Agreement. Upon such removal, a Majority in
Interest of the Class A Units shall appoint a successor General Partner by a
written instrument signed by them.

(b) Upon
the removal of a person serving as the General Partner, the Partnership shall
re-purchase the General Partner’s Units held by the former General Partner at
its book value and the successor General Partner shall be issued a like number
of General Partner Units by the Partnership at their book value. The
purchase price and issue price for the General Partner Units shall be payable in
cash and shall be closed within twenty days after the successor General Partner
determines the book value of the General Partner’s Units. The
foregoing does not prohibit the Partnership from pursuing any claim against the
former General Partner for any breach of its obligations under this
Agreement.
(c) A
successor General Partner may make such amendments to this Agreement as may be
necessary or appropriate to evidence the taking of any action authorized by the
Code or this Agreement in connection with the appointment of the successor
General Partner as the General Partner. The Partners shall take all
such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect or evidence the
appointment of the successor General Partner as the General Partner in
accordance with this Agreement and the Code and to continue the Partnership
business as provided in this Agreement.
Section

Provisions. For
so long as at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding Class D Units
are held by the Original Class D Partners, the General Partner will consult with
the Original D Partners regarding the appointment of any new Chief Executive
Officer of the General Partner. In addition and for so long as at
least seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding Class D Units are held by
the Original Class D Partners, the General Partner agrees not to undertake any
of the following actions without the consent or approval of the holders of a
majority of the Class D Units held by the Original Class D Partners which shall
not be unreasonably withheld:
(a) Any
amendment of this Agreement in a manner which would materially and adversely
affect the rights of the Class D Limited Partners with respect to their rights
to receive Cyprus Capital Proceeds or Cyprus Cash Flow;
(b) The
merger or other reorganization of the Partnership;
(c) The
dissolution of the Partnership;
(d) The
making of any Cyprus Vessel Investment;

(a) Appointment of
Liquidator. The winding up of the Partnership’s affairs shall
be supervised by a Liquidator, who shall be the General Partner.
(b) Powers of
Liquidator. In winding up the affairs of the Partnership, the
Liquidator shall have full right and unlimited discretion, for and on behalf of
the Partnership:
(i) to
prosecute and defend civil, criminal or administrative suits;
(ii) to
collect Partnership assets, including obligations owed to the
Partnership;
(iii) to
settle and close the Partnership’s business;

(v) to
pay all reasonable selling costs and other expenses incurred in connection with
the winding up out of the proceeds of the disposition of Partnership
Property;
(vi) to
discharge the Partnership’s known liabilities and, if necessary, to set up, for
a period not to exceed five (5) years after the date of dissolution, such cash
reserves as the Liquidator may deem reasonably necessary for any contingent or
unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership;
(vii) to
distribute any remaining proceeds from the sale of Partnership Property to the
Partners;
(viii) to
prepare, execute, acknowledge and file any certificates, tax returns or
instruments necessary or advisable under any applicable law to effect the

(ix) to
exercise, without further authorization or consent of any of the parties hereto
or their legal representatives or successors in interest, all of the powers
conferred upon the General Partner under the terms of this Agreement to the
extent necessary or desirable in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator to
perform its duties and functions. The Liquidator (if not the General
Partner) shall not be liable as a partner to the Partners and shall, while
acting in such capacity on behalf of the Partnership, be entitled to the
indemnification rights set forth in the Applicable Law and in Article XIV
hereof.
Section
13.3 Distribution of Partnership
Property and Proceeds of Sale Thereof.
(a) Order of Distribution. Upon
completion of all desired sales of Partnership Property, and after payment of
all selling costs and expenses, the Liquidator shall distribute the proceeds of
such sales, and any Partnership Property that is to be distributed in kind, to
the following groups in the following order of priority:
(i) to
the extent permitted by law, to satisfy Partnership liabilities to creditors,
including Partners who are creditors, whether by payment or establishment of
reserves; and
(ii) any
assets remaining shall be distributed among the Partners pro rata in accordance
with their relative positive Capital Account balances, after giving effect to
all contributions, distributions and allocations of income, gain, loss and
deduction for all periods consistent with the provisions contained in Section
7.1 of this Agreement, including, without limitation, allocations of items of
gross income and/or loss to allow the Capital Accounts of the Partners to equal
the amount of distributions such Partners would be entitled to receive pursuant
to the terms of Section 7.2 of this Agreement as though all assets of the
Partnership were being distributed pursuant to the terms of Section 7.2 of this
Agreement.
(b) Insufficient
Assets. The claims of each priority group specified above
shall be satisfied in full before satisfying any claims of a lower priority
group. If the assets available for disposition are insufficient to
dispose of all of the claims of a priority group, the available assets shall be
distributed in proportion to the amounts owed to each creditor or the respective
Capital Account balances or Units of each Partner in such group.

Section
13.4 Final
Audit. Within
a reasonable time following the completion of the liquidation, the Liquidator
shall supply to each of the Partners a statement which shall set forth the
assets and the liabilities of the Partnership as of the date of complete
liquidation and each Partner’s pro rata portion of distributions pursuant to
Section 13.3.
Section
13.5 Deficit Capital
Accounts. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and notwithstanding any
custom or rule of law to the contrary, to the extent that the deficit, if any,
in the capital account of any Partner results from or is attributable to
deductions and losses of the Partnership (including non-cash items such as
depreciation), or distributions of money pursuant to this Agreement to all
Partners in proportion to their respective Units, upon dissolution of the
Partnership such deficit shall not be an asset of the Partnership and such
Partners shall not be obligated to contribute such amount to the Partnership to
bring the balance of such Partner’s Capital Account to zero.
ARTICLE
XIV
INDEMNIFICATION
AND INSURANCE
Section
14.1 General
rule.
(a) Limitation on
Liability. To the extent not expressly inconsistent with the
Applicable Law, no Partner, Affiliate of the Partnership, Affiliate of any
Partner, nor any such Persons’ respective employees, agents, affiliates, heirs,
executors, administrators, successors or assigns (collectively, “Indemnitees”),
shall be liable, responsible or accountable for any damages, losses, claims,
liabilities (whether or not joint and several), expenses, judgments, fines,
demands or other amounts, or in any other manner whatsoever to the Partnership,
any Partner or any other Person for any action taken or failure to act
(including, without limitation, any negligent action or failure to act) on
behalf of the Partnership within the reasonable scope of the authority conferred
on such Indemnitee by this Agreement or by law, unless the act (or inaction)
giving rise to a claim against such Indemnitee is determined by a court of final
jurisdiction to have constituted actual fraud, gross negligence (as determined
by Delaware law), willful misconduct or recklessness against the
Partnership.
(b) Indemnity. To the
extent not inconsistent with the Applicable Law, the Partnership, its receiver
or its trustee, and its successors or assigns, shall indemnify each Indemnitee
against and save it harmless from any claim, demand, judgment or liability, and
against and from any loss, cost, fee, fine, damage or expense (including,
without limitation, attorneys’ fees and court costs), that may be made or
imposed upon such Indemnitee by reason of or arising with respect to (i) any act
performed for or on behalf of the Partnership or in furtherance of the
Partnership’s business, (ii) any inaction on the part of such Indemnitee,
(iii) any liabilities arising under any foreign, federal and state
securities laws to the extent permitted under the Applicable Law, (iv) any
liabilities arising under any and all other laws as in effect from time to time,
or (v) the Indemnitee’s status as a Partner or as an employee, consultant or
agent of the Partnership or any Affiliate of the Partnership, and regardless of
whether brought by a third-party, by a Partner or by or on behalf of the
Partnership. All the benefits of the undertakings and indemnities
given in favor of each Indemnitee (other than the General Partner) pursuant to
this Section 14.1(b) are given to the General Partner in its own capacity and as
trustee and agent for the benefit of each Indemnitee Person, and the General
Partner hereby declares that it so holds such benefits and any benefits paid or
transferred to it or under its control pursuant thereto on such trusts for the
benefit of the Indemnitee.

(c) Negligent
Acts. The limitation on liability under subsection (a) shall
not apply, and the indemnification under subsection (b) shall not be made, in
any case where the act or acts (or inaction) giving rise to liability by such
Indemnitee is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
constituted actual fraud, gross negligence (as determined by Delaware law),
willful misconduct or recklessness against the Partnership, but shall apply in
any case where the act or acts (or inaction) allegedly giving rise to liability
by such Indemnitee is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
constituted negligence.
(d) Grounds. Indemnification
under this Section 14.1 shall be granted for any action taken whether or not the
indemnified liability arises or arose from any threatened, pending or completed
action by or on behalf of the Partnership.
(e) Payment of
Expenses. Expenses, costs and fees (including, without
limitation, attorney fees’ and court costs) incurred by an Indemnitee in
defending any action or proceeding against which indemnification may be made
under this Section 14.1 shall promptly be paid by the Partnership in advance of
the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall
ultimately be determined by a court of final jurisdiction that such Indemnitee
is not entitled to be indemnified by the Partnership.
(f) Rights to
Indemnification. The indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided by or granted under this Section 14.1 shall continue as to a
Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity as to which such Person was
indemnified and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns,
executors and administrators of such Person. The indemnification
provided in this Section 14.1 shall be in addition to any other rights to which
any Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to a vote of the
Partners, as a matter of law or equity, or otherwise, as to any action (or
inaction) of any such Indemnitee in any capacity. The Partnership may
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Indemnitees in such amounts and
at such price as the General Partner shall determine against any liability that
may be asserted against or expense that may be incurred by any such Indemnitee,
regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such
Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement or pursuant
to applicable law. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification
in whole or in part by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee had an interest in
the transaction with respect to which the indemnification
applied. The provisions of this Section 14.1 are for the benefit
of the Indemnitees and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit
of any other Persons.
Section
14.2 Limit on Liability of
Partners. The
indemnification set forth in this Article XIV shall in no event cause the
Partners to incur any personal liability beyond their total Capital
Contributions, nor shall it result in any liability of the Partners to any third
party.

ARTICLE
XV
MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS
Section
15.1 Entire
Agreement. This
Agreement contains the entire agreement among the Partners relating to the
subject matter hereof and all prior agreements relative hereto which are not
contained herein are terminated.
Section
15.2 Law
Governing. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
Cayman Islands, except for matters arising under or governed by the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act, the Code or ERISA, which matters shall be construed and
interpreted in accordance with such laws. In particular, this
Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of the Applicable
Law. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this
Agreement and the mandatory provisions of the Applicable Law, the Applicable Law
will control.
Section
15.3 Successors and
Assigns. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Partners
and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and
assigns.
Section
15.4 Severability. This
Agreement is intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent
permitted by, all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. If any
provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or
circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or
unenforceable, but the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability does not
destroy the basis of the bargain among the Partners as expressed herein, the
remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other
Persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby, but rather shall be
enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.
Section
15.5 Amendment. Except
as expressly provided herein including, but not limited to Sections 6.2(c)(ii)
and 6.9, this Agreement may be amended by action of a Majority in Interest
of all of the Units; provided, however, that amendments to
this Agreement that, in the reasonable judgment of the General Partner, are of
an administrative or clerical nature and do not adversely affect any Limited
Partner in any material respect may be made by the General Partner without the
necessity of any approval of the Partners. Each Limited Partner who
acquired Units after the passing of a Record Date set by the General Partner
pursuant to Section 12.1(b) with respect to the amendment of this Agreement
hereby acknowledges that it shall not be entitled to cast a vote, give a consent
or provide or withhold any approval with respect to the amendment of this
Agreement.
Section
15.6 Headings. The
Article and Section headings appearing in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and are not intended, to any extent or for any purpose, to limit
or define the text of any Article or Section.
Section
15.7 Construction. Whenever
required by the context, as used in this Agreement, the singular number shall
include the plural, and vice versa, and the gender of all words used shall
include the masculine, feminine and the neuter. Unless expressly stated herein,
all references to Articles and Sections refer to articles and sections of this
Agreement, and all references to Schedules are to schedules attached hereto,
each of which is made a part hereof for all purposes.

Section
15.8 Offset. Whenever
the Partnership is to pay any sum to any Partner, any amounts that Partner owes
the Partnership may be deducted from that sum before payment.
Section
15.9 Effect of Waiver or
Consent. A
waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any
Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations with respect to the
Partnership is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in
the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that
Person with respect to the Partnership. Failure on the part of a Person to
complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default with
respect to the Partnership, irrespective of how long that failure continues,
does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that
default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.
Section
15.10 Further
Assurances. In
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, each
Partner shall execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and
perform any additional acts that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate
and perform the provisions of this Agreement and those
transactions.
Section
15.11 Waiver of Certain
Rights. Each
Partner irrevocably waives any right it may have to maintain any action for
dissolution of the Partnership or for partition of the property of the
Partnership.
Section
15.12 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be an
original, but all of which taken together shall constitute a single document.
This Agreement shall be binding upon each Partner upon execution, regardless of
whether any other Partner has executed the same or a different
counterpart. A photocopy or telecopy of an executed counterpart of
this Agreement shall be sufficient to bind the Partner(s) whose signature(s)
appear thereon.
Section
15.13 Effective
Time. Each
of the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that for the purposes of Cayman
Islands law, this Agreement will take effect on the Second Restatement
Date. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties to
this agreement hereby agree that their respective rights, duties and obligations
pursuant to this Agreement shall have retrospective effect, from the Effective
Time, as between the parties to this Agreement.
