ARTICLE IV

ALLOCATION OF INCOME AND LOSSES

Section 4.1. Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss. Subject to Sections 4.2 and 4.3, the Partnership’s Net Income and Net Loss for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

Section 4.2. Regulatory Provisions.

(a) The General Partners shall modify the allocations provided for in Section 4.1 as they deem appropriate to comply with Treasury Regulations §§ 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the General Partners shall, prior to making any allocations required by Section 4.1, make any allocations required by the “minimum gain chargeback” provision of Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(f), the “chargeback of partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” provision of Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(4) and the “qualified income offset” provision of Treasury Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d); in addition, Partnership losses, deductions or expenditures described in Code section 705(a)(2)(B) attributable to a particular partner nonrecourse liability shall be allocated to the Partner that bears the economic risk of loss for the liability in accordance with Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(i).

(b) The General Partners shall limit allocations of Net Losses to any Partner if such allocation would cause such Partner’s Capital Account balance, as increased for any deficit balance in its Capital Account which the Partner is required to restore or is deemed required to restore as a result of its share of the Partnership’s minimum gain (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations §§ 1.704-2(g)(1) and (3)) and its share of partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(5)) and as decreased by the adjustments referred to in Treasury Regulations §§ 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6), to be negative while any other Partner’s Capital Account balance (as so adjusted) is positive. The General Partners may also make allocations reasonably designed to offset allocations provided for in this Section 4.2 to the extent such allocations shall not be offset by other allocations provided for in this Section 4.2. The General Partners may alter the Partnership’s allocations of items entering into the computation of Net Income and Net Losses in the year in which the Partnership is liquidated to avoid any Partner recognizing gain or loss pursuant to Code section 731 on the liquidation of the Partnership.

(c) Solely for purposes of adjusting Capital Accounts (and not for tax purposes), if any property is distributed in kind, the difference between the fair market value of the property and its book value at the time of distribution shall be treated as gain or loss recognized by the Partnership and allocated pursuant to Section 4.1.

(d) Except to the extent otherwise required by the Code and Treasury Regulations, if an Interest or part thereof is transferred in any Fiscal Year, the items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable to the Interest for such Fiscal Year shall be apportioned between the transferor and the transferee in proportion to the number of days in such Fiscal Year the Interest is held by each of them, except that, if they agree between themselves and so notify the Partnership within 30 days after the transfer, then at their option and expense, (i) all items or (ii) extraordinary items, including capital gains and losses, may be allocated to the Person who held the Interest on the date such items were realized or incurred by the Partnership.

Section 4.3. Allocations for Income Tax Purposes. The income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Partnership for Federal, state and local income tax purposes shall be allocated in the same manner as the corresponding items entering into the computation of Net Income and Net Losses were allocated pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.2, provided that solely for Federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes and not for book or Capital Account purposes, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to property properly carried on the Partnership’s books at a value other than its tax basis shall be allocated in accordance with the requirements of Code section 704(c) and Treasury Regulations § 1.704-3.

Section 4.4. Withholding. The Partnership shall comply with withholding requirements under Federal, state and local law and shall remit amounts withheld to and file required forms with the applicable jurisdictions. To the extent the Partnership is required to withhold and pay over any amounts to any authority with respect to distributions or allocations to any Partner, the amount withheld shall be treated as a distribution in the amount of the withholding to that Partner. In the event of any claimed over-withholding, Partners shall be limited to an action against the applicable jurisdiction. If the amount withheld was not withheld from actual distributions, the Partnership may (i) require the Partner to reimburse the Partnership for such withholding or (ii) reduce any subsequent distributions by the amount of such withholding. Each Partner agrees to furnish the Partnership with any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Partnership to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, its withholding obligations.

Section 4.5. Revaluation of Property.

(a) The assets of the Partnership shall be revalued on the books of the Partnership to equal their fair market values in accordance with Treasury Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) at the following times: (A) the day immediately preceding the acquisition of an additional Interest in the Partnership by any existing or new Partner in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution to the capital of the Partnership pursuant to Sections 3.2, 7.4 and 8.7; (B) on the day of any withdrawal of more than a de minimis portion of the Partnership Capital Account pursuant to Section 5.3 before taking into account such withdrawal; (C) the termination of the Partnership for Federal income tax purposes, other than a termination pursuant to Code section 708(b)(1)(B); and (D) the occurrence of any other event upon which the General Partners believe such revaluation is appropriate. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the General Partners shall determine whether any contribution of capital to or withdrawal from the Partnership is in more than a de minimis amount. Upon revaluation of the Partnership’s assets pursuant to this Section 4.5(a), (i) the fair market value of the assets shall be determined by the unanimous agreement of all General Partners, (ii) each Partner’s Capital Account shall be adjusted as if such assets were sold for their fair market values and the Net Income and Net Losses recognized on such sale were allocated to the Partners in accordance with Section 4.1, and (iii) each Partner’s Percentage Interest shall equal the percentage determined by dividing the balance of such Partner’s adjusted Capital Account by the aggregate balance of all Partners’ adjusted Capital Accounts.

(b) Unless the General Partners shall in their good faith judgment determine otherwise, all securities or other instruments with a publicly quoted price shall be valued at their last sale price, on the date as of which their value is being determined, or, if appropriate, at their closing bid price if held long or ask price if held short as provided by market-makers making a market in the respective securities or instruments selected by the General Partners, in their good faith judgment. If on the date as of which any valuation is being made, no exchange or market is open for business, the valuation of such security or instrument shall be determined as of the last preceding date on which such exchange or market was open for business. All other assets and liabilities of the Partnership shall be valued by the General Partners in their good faith judgment utilizing such projections and assumptions as the General Partners may deem appropriate and reasonable or on such other basis as the General Partners may deem appropriate or reasonable.

All values assigned by the General Partners pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive and binding upon all Partners.

(c) Immediately following the occurrence of any event which has caused the revaluation of the assets of the Partnership pursuant to Section 4.5(a), each Partner’s Percentage Interest shall be adjusted to equal the percentage determined by dividing the balance in each Partner’s Capital Account immediately after such revaluation by the aggregate balance of all Partners’ Capital Accounts immediately after such revaluation.

(d) For purposes of Section 4.1, the Fiscal Year in which the assets of the Partnership are revalued pursuant to Section 4.5(a) shall be treated as two separate Fiscal Years, one beginning on the first day of the Fiscal Year and ending on the day of the revaluation and the other beginning on the day immediately following the revaluation and ending on the last day of the Fiscal Year, and Net Income and Net Loss shall be allocated to the Partners separately for each portion of the Fiscal Year based on operations for such portion of the year as reflected by a closing of the Partnership’s books. Analogous divisions of the Fiscal Year into multiple Fiscal Years will be made if there be more than one revaluation of assets in any Fiscal Year.

ARTICLE V

DISTRIBUTIONS AND WITHDRAWALS

Section 5.1. Distributions. Subject to Section 10.3, distributions of cash or property of the Partnership shall be made at such times and in such manner only as shall be approved by unanimous, written consent of all General Partners, which consent may be granted or withheld in each General Partner’s sole discretion. Any such distribution shall be made to the Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests as of the day on which such distribution is made.

Section 5.2. Limitations on Distributions.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary:

(i) no distribution pursuant to this Agreement shall be made if such distribution would result in a violation of the Act;

(ii) no distribution shall be made if such distribution would violate the terms of any agreement or any other instrument to which the Partnership is a Party.

Section 5.3. Withdrawals of Capital Account Balance. Subject to Section 10.3, a Partner may withdraw all or any portion of its Capital Account balance at such time or times and in such manner only as shall be approved by unanimous consent of all General Partners, which consent may be granted or withheld in each General Partner’s sole discretion. Any Partner withdrawing the entire balance of its Capital Account shall, upon the completion of such withdrawal, be deemed to have withdrawn from the Partnership pursuant to Section 10.1.

ARTICLE VI

The Partnership books and records shall be kept on such method of accounting as the General Partners shall determine. The determinations of the General Partners with respect to the treatment of any item or its allocation for Federal, state or local tax purposes shall be binding upon all Partners so long as that determination is not inconsistent with any express term of this Agreement. The books and records shall at all times be maintained at the principal office of the Partnership and shall be open to the examination and inspection of the Partners or their duly authorized representative for a proper purpose during reasonable business hours at the sole cost and expense of the inspecting or examining Partner.

Section 6.2. Partnership Tax Returns. If the General Partners deem it appropriate to file an Internal Revenue Service Form 1065 and all other tax returns required to be filed by the Partnership for each Fiscal Year or part thereof, within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Partnership shall provide to each Person who at any time during such Fiscal Year was a Partner with a copy of Schedule K-1 to Internal Revenue Service Form 1065 (or any successor form) indicating such Person’s interest in the Partnership’s income, loss, gain, expense and other items relevant for Federal income tax purposes and with a copy of any other Federal, state or local income tax or information returns filed by the Partnership.

Xxxxxx, or a charitable organization described in Code section 501(c)(3), and further provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of such trust may permit one or members of the Immediate Family of Xxxxxxx X.

Xxxxxx and, except in the case of a trust intended to qualify for a marital deduction under section 2523(e) or section 2056(b)(5) of the Code (“a general power of appointment marital trust”), exercisable only with the consent of one or more of the trustees of the trust other than such member and, except in the case of a general power of appointment marital trust, exercisable over only any portion of the assets of such trust that, in the absence of such general power of appointment, would be subject to Federal generation-skipping transfer tax upon such death;

(iii) with respect to any member of the Immediate Family of Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, the trustee or trustees of any one or more trusts for the benefit of such individual’s spouse, provided that such trust prohibits a distribution of all or any portion of the trust’s Interest to such spouse except to the extent required to obtain a marital deduction for Federal gift or estate tax purposes (if the trust is intended to qualify for such a deduction), and further provided that except for the interest of such individual’s spouse in the trust, such trust otherwise satisfies the requirements of Section 9.2(a)(ii); and

(iv) any entity in which all of the ownership interests are owned by members of the Immediate Family of Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx.

(b) If a Limited Partner shall receive a bona fide offer in writing from an independent unaffiliated party (who must be financially capable of carrying out the terms of the offer) in a form legally enforceable against the proposed purchaser (a “Bona Fide Offer”), the Limited Partner may accept such Bona Fide Offer provided that the Transfer by the Limited Partner pursuant to such Bona Fide Offer shall be subject to a right of first refusal as provided herein. The Transferor shall give the General Partners written notice of the proposed Transfer which shall state the name of the proposed Transferee, the portion of the Transferor’s Interest proposed to be transferred, the proposed purchase price for the Interest to be transferred, and any other material terms of such proposed Transfer. The Partnership shall, for a period of thirty (30) days after such notice is given, have the right to purchase such Interest at the proposed purchase price and on the proposed terms or to assign such right or any portion thereof to such other Person or Persons as the General Partners, in their sole discretion, shall determine.

(iv) The Transferee represents, and, at the request of the General Partners, furnishes to the Partnership an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the General Partners, in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partners, as to such matters as the General Partners may reasonably request including, without limitation, that such Transfer (A) was made in accordance with and would not violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other applicable Federal, state or local law; (B) would not require the Partnership to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (C) would not jeopardize the status of the Partnership as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes or cause a termination of the Partnership pursuant to the then applicable provisions of the Code and the Act; and (D) would not cause the Partnership to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code.

(d) All expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection with any Transfer or substitution of a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be paid by the Transferor prior to the time of the Transfer or substitution (including, without limitation, any fees and costs of the preparation, filing and publishing of any amendment to this Agreement or to the Certificate, if any, and any legal and other fees, expenses and costs of any investigation and preparation, in connection with any action, proceeding or investigation related to any Transfer or attempted Transfer by a Limited Partner of a Limited Partner’s Interest or in connection with the admission into the Partnership of the Transferee). The Transferor also will indemnify the Partnership and the General Partners against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which any of them may become subject in connection therewith. The reimbursement and indemnity obligations of the Transferor under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which the Transferor may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to the Partnership and the General Partners, shall inure to the benefit of any successors and assigns of the Partnership and the General Partners and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(e) The Transfer of a Limited Partner’s Interest and the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner shall not be cause for dissolution of the Partnership.

Section 9.3. Right to Treat Successor-in-Interest as Assignee. Upon the death, disability, winding-up and termination (in the case of a Partner that is a partnership), dissolution (in the case of a Partner that is a limited liability company), dissolution and termination (in the case of a Partner that is a corporation), termination (in the case of a Partner that is a trust), withdrawal in contravention of Section 5.3 or occurrence of an event described in Section 17-402 (a)(4) (a)-(f) of the Act with regard to a Partner, whether a Limited Partner or a General Partner (the “Assigning Partner”), the General Partners shall have the right to treat the successor(s)-in-interest of the Assigning Partner, other than a successor-in-interest who becomes a Substituted Limited Partner pursuant to Section 9.2, as assignees of the Interest of the Assigning Partner, with only such rights of an assignee of a partnership interest under the Act as are consistent with the other terms and provisions of this Agreement and with no other rights under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the successor(s)-in-interest of the Assigning Partner, other than a successor-in-interest who becomes a Substituted Limited Partner pursuant to Section 9.2, shall have only the rights to the allocations provided in Article IV and the distributions provided in Article V. For purposes of this Section 9.3, if the Assigning Partner’s Interest is held by more than one person (for purposes of this subsection, the “Assignees”), the Assignees by majority vote shall appoint one person with full authority to accept notices and distributions with respect to such Interest on behalf of the Assignees and to bind them with respect to all matters in connection with the Partnership or this Agreement.

ARTICLE X

WITHDRAWAL OF PARTNERS; DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP;

LIQUIDATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS

Section 10.1. Withdrawal of Partners. No Partner may withdraw from the Partnership without the unanimous consent of all Partners, which consent may be granted or withheld in their sole discretion. Any Partner withdrawing in contravention of this Section 10.1 shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Partnership and all other Partners from and against any losses, expenses, judgments, fines, settlements or damages suffered or incurred by the Partnership or any other Partner arising out of or resulting from such retirement or withdrawal. No transfer of all or a portion of a Partner’s interest in accordance with Article IX shall constitute a withdrawal within the meaning of this Section 10.1. In the event of withdrawal of the remaining General Partner under Section 17-402 of the Act, the Partnership shall not dissolve but a successor General Partner (who shall be a person or entity other than any Limited Partner, any former Limited Partner or anyone related or subordinate to any Limited Partner or any former Limited Partner within the meaning of Section 672(c) of the Code) shall be appointed by the Limited Partners.

Section 10.2. Dissolution of Partnership.

(a) The Partnership shall be dissolved, wound up and terminated as provided herein upon the occurrence of the earliest of the following events:

(i)

the written consent of all General Partners to dissolve the Partnership; or

(ii)

the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 17-802 of the Act.

(b) In the event of the dissolution of the Partnership for any reason, the General Partners remaining in the Partnership, or, if there is no General Partner remaining, then a liquidating agent or committee appointed by seventy-five percent (75%) in interest of the Limited Partners (the General Partners or such Person or committee so designated hereinafter referred to as the “Liquidator”), shall begin to wind up the affairs of the Partnership and to liquidate the Partnership’s assets. The Partners shall continue to share all income, losses and distributions during the period of liquidation in accordance with Articles IV and V. The Liquidator shall have full right and unlimited discretion to determine the time, manner and terms of any sale or sales of Partnership property pursuant to such liquidation, giving due regard to the activity and condition of the relevant market and general financial and economic conditions.

(c) The Liquidator shall have all of the rights and powers with respect to the assets and liabilities of the Partnership in connection with the liquidation and termination of the Partnership that the General Partners would have with respect to the assets and liabilities of the Partnership during the term of the Partnership, and the Liquidator is hereby expressly authorized and empowered to execute and file any and all documents (including a certificate of dissolution) necessary or desirable to effectuate the liquidation and termination of the Partnership and the transfer of any assets.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Liquidator which is not a General Partner shall not be deemed a Partner in this Partnership and shall not have any of the economic interests in the Partnership of a Partner; and such Liquidator shall be compensated for its services to the Partnership at normal, customary and competitive rates for its services to the Partnership as reasonably determined by seventy-five percent (75%) in interest of the Limited Partners.

Section 10.3. Distribution in Liquidation. The Liquidator shall, as soon as practicable, wind up the affairs of the Partnership and sell and/or distribute the assets of the Partnership. The assets of the Partnership shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(a) First, to creditors of the Partnership (including Partners who are creditors to the extent permitted by law), in the order of priority provided by law.

(b) Second, to establish reserves reasonably adequate to meet any and all contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership, provided that at the expiration of such period of time as the Liquidator may deem advisable, the balance of such reserves remaining after the payment of such contingencies or liabilities shall be distributed as hereinafter provided.

If the Liquidator, in its sole discretion, determines that assets other than cash are to be distributed, then the Liquidator shall cause the fair market value of the assets not so liquidated to be determined. Such assets shall be retained or distributed by the Liquidator as follows:

(i) The Liquidator shall retain assets having an appraised value, net of any liability related thereto, equal to the amount by which the net proceeds of liquidated assets are insufficient to satisfy the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 10.3; and

(ii) The remaining assets shall be distributed to the Partners in the same proportion as cash would be distributed to the Partners pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 10.3.

If the Liquidator, in its sole discretion, deems it not feasible or desirable to distribute to each Partner its allocable share of each asset, the Liquidator may allocate and distribute specific assets to one or more Partners, individually or as tenants-in-common, as the Liquidator shall in good faith determine to be fair and equitable, taking into consideration, inter alia, the fair market value of the assets, the liens, if any, to which such property may be subject and the tax consequences of the proposed distribution to each of the Partners (including both distributees and others if any). Any distributions in kind shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management thereof as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable.

Section 10.4. Rights of the Limited Partners. Each of the Limited Partners shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for all distributions with respect to the Partnership and such Partner’s Capital Account or Capital Contributions thereto (including return thereof), and such Partner’s share of profits or losses thereof, and shall have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution or otherwise) against the General Partners or any other Limited Partner. No Partner shall have any right to demand or receive property other than cash upon dissolution and termination of the Partnership.

Section 10.5. Deficit Restoration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, upon liquidation of a Partner’s Interest (whether or not in connection with a liquidation of the Partnership), no Partner shall have any liability to restore any deficit in its Capital Account. In addition, no allocation to any Partner of any loss, whether attributable to depreciation or otherwise, shall create any asset of or obligation to the Partnership, even if such allocation reduces a Partner’s Capital Account or creates or increases a deficit in such Partner’s Capital Account; it is also the intent of the Partners that no Partner shall be obligated to pay any such amount to or for the account of the Partnership or any creditor of the Partnership (however, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, the Limited Partner is obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Limited Partner and not of the General Partners or of the Partnership). The obligations of the Partners to make contributions pursuant to Article III are for the exclusive benefit of the Partnership and not of any creditor of the Partnership; no such creditor is intended as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement nor shall any such creditor have any rights hereunder, including without limitation the right to enforce any Capital Contribution obligation of the Partners.

Section 10.6. Termination. The Partnership shall terminate when all property owned by the Partnership shall have been disposed of and the assets shall have been distributed as provided in Section 10.3. The Liquidator shall then execute and cause to be filed a Certificate of Cancellation of the Partnership.

ARTICLE XI

(ii) is a special power of attorney coupled with an interest, is irrevocable and shall survive the death or incapacity of the Limited Partner granting the power; and

(iii) may be exercised by the holder on behalf of a Limited Partner by a facsimile signature or by listing all of the Limited Partners executing any instrument with a single signature as attorney-in-fact for all of them.
