3.2 Additional Capital Contributions and Issuances of Limited Partnership Interests and other Securities. In order to raise additional capital or to acquire assets, to redeem or retire Partnership debt, or for any other Partnership purposes, the Management Committee is authorized (x) to cause the General Partners to make a capital contribution to the Partnership, or (y) to cause the Partnership to issue Limited Partnership Interests at any time or from time to time to any General Partner, to Limited Partners or to other Persons and to admit them to the

Partnership as Additional Limited Partners, all without any consent or approval of the Limited Partners or any percentage thereof. With respect to any additional capital contribution or issuance of Limited Partnership Interests hereunder, the Management Committee shall have sole and complete discretion in determining the resulting Percentage Interest of each Partner, the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to each Partner and the consideration and terms and conditions with respect to any future issuance of Limited Partnership Interests. In addition, the Management Committee shall have sole and complete discretion to cause the Partnership to issue Limited Partnership Interests from time to time in one or more classes, or one or more series of such classes, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers and duties, including rights, powers and duties senior to existing classes and series of Limited Partnership Interests, as shall be fixed by the Management Committee in the exercise of its sole and complete discretion, including, without limitation, (i) the allocation of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to each such class or series of Limited Partnership Interests; (ii) the right of each such class or series of Limited Partnership Interests to share in Partnership distributions; (iii) the rights of each such class or series of Limited Partnership Interests upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; (iv) the price at which and the terms and conditions upon which each such class or series of Limited Partnership Interests may be redeemed by the Partnership; (v) the rate at which and the terms and conditions upon which each such class or series of Limited Partnership Interests may be converted into another class or series of Limited Partnership Interests of the Partnership; (vi) the terms and conditions upon which each such class or series of Limited Partnership Interests will be issued, evidenced by certificates and assigned or transferred; and (vii) the right of each such class or series of Limited Partnership Interests to vote on Partnership matters, including matters relating to the relative rights, preferences and privileges of each such class or series. Upon or prior to the issuance of any class or series of Limited Partnership Interests that shall not be identical to the Limited Partnership Interests that have been issued to the then Limited Partners, the General Partners, without the consent at the time of any Partner, each Partner hereby consenting to any and each such amendment, may amend any provision of this Agreement and the General Partners may execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file and record such documents as the General Partners acting through the Management Committee may in their sole discretion determine to be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith in order to reflect the authorization and issuance of each such class or series of Limited Partnership Interests and the relative rights and preferences as to the matters set forth in the preceding sentence. The Management Committee is also authorized to cause the Partnership to issue any other type of security (including, without limitation, secured and unsecured debt obligations of the Partnership, debt obligations of the Partnership convertible into any class or series of Limited Partnership Interests that may be issued by the Partnership, or options, rights, warrants or appreciation rights relating to any class or series of Limited Partnership Interests, any debt obligations or any combination of any of the foregoing) from time to time to any General Partner, Limited Partner or other Person on terms and conditions established in the sole and complete discretion of the Management Committee. The Management Committee shall do all things it deems to be appropriate or necessary to comply with the Partnership Act and are authorized and directed to do all things they deem to be necessary or advisable in connection with any such future issuance, including compliance with any statute, rule, regulation or guideline of any Federal, state or other governmental agency or any securities exchange on which any such security is listed for trading.

3.3 Capital Accounts. (a) The Partnership shall maintain for each Partner a separate Capital Account in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Such Capital Account shall be credited with (i) the amount of cash and Net Agreed Value of property contributed to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) all items of income and gain (including income and gain exempt from tax) computed in accordance with this Section 3.3 and allocated pursuant to Section 4.1 and debited by (iii) the cash distributions and the Net Agreed Value of all distributions of property made with respect to a Partnership Interest and (iv) all items of deduction and loss computed in accordance with this Section 3.3 and allocated pursuant to Section 4.1.

(b) For purposes of computing the amount of each item of income, gain, deduction or loss to be reflected in the Capital Accounts of the Partners, the determination, recognition and classification of such items shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for Federal income tax purposes (including any method of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization used for this purpose), provided that:

(i) In accordance with Section 704(b) of the Code, any deductions for depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to a Contributed Property shall be determined as if the Adjusted Basis of such property on the date it was contributed to the Partnership was equal to the Agreed Value of such property. Upon an adjustment pursuant to Section 3.3(c) to the Carrying Value of any Partnership Property subject to depreciation, cost recovery or amortization, any further deductions for such depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to such property shall be determined as if the Adjusted Basis of such property was equal to the Carrying Value of such property immediately following such adjustment. For any period, depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to any property described in this Section 3.3(b)(i) shall be an amount that bears the same relationship to the Agreed Value (in the case of Contributed Property) or Carrying Value (immediately following any adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence), as the case may be, of such property at the beginning of the period as the Federal income tax depreciation, cost recovery or amortization deduction with respect to such property for the period bears to the Adjusted Basis of such property at the beginning of the period; provided, that if such property has a zero Adjusted Basis, the depreciation, cost recovery or amortization may be determined under any reasonable method selected by the Management Committee. For all purposes of this Section 3.3, depreciation, cost recovery or amortization shall be in lieu of any Federal income tax depreciation, cost recovery or amortization deductions with respect to such property.

(ii) Any item of income, gain, loss or deduction attributable to the taxable disposition of any Partnership asset shall be determined by the Partnership as if the Adjusted Basis of such asset as of such date of disposition was equal in amount to the Partnership’s Carrying Value for such asset as of such date.

(iii) If the Partnership’s Adjusted Basis in any property subject to depreciation or cost recovery is reduced for Federal income tax purposes pursuant

to Section 48(q)(1) or 48(q)(3) of the Code, the amount of such reduction shall be treated as an additional depreciation or cost recovery deduction in the year such property is placed in service and shall be allocated among the Partners pursuant to Section 4.1. Any restoration of such basis pursuant to Section 48(q)(2) of the Code shall be treated as an item of income or gain and allocated in the same manner to the Partners to whom such deemed deduction was allocated.

(iv) The computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made without regard to any Section 754 Election which may be made by the Partnership (except to the extent required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)) and, as to those items described in Section 705(a)(1)(B) or Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code (including items treated as Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i)), 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.

(c) (i) Upon the acquisition of an additional interest in the Partnership by any new or existing Partner in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution, the Capital Accounts of all Partners (and the Carrying Values of all Partnership properties) shall be adjusted upwards or downwards to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to the Partnership properties as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss has been recognized upon an actual sale of such properties immediately prior to such issuance and was allocated to the Partners, at such time, pursuant to Section 4.1. In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss, the fair market value of Partnership property shall be determined by the Management Committee using such reasonable method of valuation as it deems appropriate.

(ii) Immediately prior to the distribution of more than a de minimis amount of cash or any Partnership property as consideration for an interest in the Partnership (whether in liquidation of the Partnership or otherwise), the Capital Accounts of all Partners (and the Carrying Value of all Partnership properties) shall, immediately prior to any such distribution, be adjusted upwards or downwards to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to all Partnership properties as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss has been recognized upon an actual sale of such properties immediately prior to such distribution and was allocated to the Partners, at such time, pursuant to Section 4.1. In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss, the fair market value of Partnership property shall be determined by the Management Committee using such reasonable method of valuation as it deems appropriate.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.3(c), any adjustment pursuant to Section 3.3(c)(i) or 3.3(c)(ii) shall be made only if the Management Committee reasonably determines that such adjustment is necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Partners in the Partnership.

(d) The determination of the amount of any liability for purposes of this Section 3.3 (including, without limitation, the computation of Agreed Value, Unrealized Gain and Unrealized Loss) shall be made in accordance with Section 752(c) of the Code and any other applicable provisions of the Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(e) In the event all or a portion of an interest in the Partnership is transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Capital Account of the transferee shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section l.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(1).

(f) It is the intention of the Partners that Capital Accounts shall be determined in a manner so that the allocations in, this Agreement will have, or be deemed to have, substantial economic effect under Section 704(b) of the Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder. In the event that the Management Committee determines that it is prudent to modify the manner in which Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto (including, without limitation, debits or credits relating to liabilities that are secured by contributed or distributed property or that are assumed by the Partnership or the Partners or their Affiliates) are computed in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, the Management Committee shall make such modification, but only if such modification is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts distributable to the Partners pursuant to Article XI. In the event that unanticipated events might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with such Treasury Regulations, the Management Committee, consistent with the prior sentence, shall make such modifications as it deems appropriate.

(g) Negative Capital Accounts. Subject to Section 11.4, no Partner shall be required to pay to the Partnership or to any other Partner or other Person any deficit or negative balance which may exist in such Partner’s Capital Account upon liquidation of the Partnership or such Partner’s interest in the Partnership.

3.4 No Preemptive Rights. Except as otherwise provided in Articles X or XI hereof, no Partner shall have any preemptive or preferential right, including any such right with respect to (a) additional Capital Contributions; (b) issuance or sale of Partnership Interests, whether unissued, held in the treasury or thereafter created; (c) issuance of any obligations, evidences of indebtedness or other securities of the Partnership convertible into or exchangeable for, or carrying or accompanied by any rights to receive, purchase or subscribe to, any such unissued Partnership Interests held in treasury; (d) issuance of any right of, subscription to or right to receive, or any warrant or option for the purchase of, any of the foregoing securities; or (e) issuance or sale of any other securities that may be issued or sold by the Partnership.

3.5 Interest. No interest shall be paid by the Partnership on Capital Contributions or on balances in Partners’ Capital Accounts.

3.6 No Withdrawal. Except as otherwise provided herein or consented to by each of the General Partners, no Partner shall be entitled to withdraw any part of his or its (or his or its predecessor’s) Capital Contribution or Capital Account or to receive any distribution from the Partnership.

3.7 Loans from Partners. Loans by a Partner to the Partnership shall not be considered Capital Contributions. If any Partner shall advance funds to the Partnership in excess of the amounts required hereunder to be contributed by him or it to the capital of the Partnership, the making of such advances shall not result in any increase in the amount of the Capital Account of such 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.

3.8 Voluntary Contributions. No Partner shall make any Capital Contribution except pursuant to this Article III.

ARTICLE IV

ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

4.1 Allocations for Capital Account Purposes. (a) For purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts and determining the rights of the Partners among themselves, the Partnership items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be computed as provided in Section 3.3 and, except as provided below, shall be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, upon the sale or other taxable disposition of substantially all of the Partnership’s property, the Capital Accounts of the Partners are not in the ratio of the Percentage Interests of the Partners, gain or loss from such sale or disposition shall be first allocated among the Partners to cause the Capital Accounts to be in the ratio of such Percentage Interests, with the balance of such gain or loss, if any, allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

(b) In the event that any Partner unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in clauses (4), (5) or (6) of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) that results in such Partner having an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, such Partner shall be allocated Partnership items of income and gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by such regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Partner as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Section 4.1 have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.1(b) were not in this Agreement. This Section 4.1(b) is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3) and shall be interpreted consistently with such provisions.

(c) In accordance with and pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv)(e), (f) and (h), if there is a net decrease in the Partnership’s Minimum Gain during any taxable year, all Partners shall be allocated, before any other allocation is made of Partnership items for such taxable year, items of income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to the greater of (a) each such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain that is allocable to the disposition of Partnership property subject to one or more nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership, as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv)(f) and (h), as

applicable, or (b) if such Partner would otherwise have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of such year, an amount sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. This Section 4.1(c) is intended to comply with the “minimum gain chargeback” requirement in such Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) All items of loss, deduction or expenditure that in accordance with the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv)(h)(3) are attributable to a Partner nonrecourse debt (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv)(k)(4)) shall be allocated to the Partner that bears the economic risk of loss with respect to such Partner nonrecourse debt within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv)(k)(1).

(e) No allocation of loss or item thereof shall be made to any Partner to the extent such allocation would create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Partner. Any losses or items thereof that cannot be allocated to Partners by reason of the prior sentence (the “Excess Loss”) shall, subject to the prior sentence, be allocated to the other Partners in proportion to such other Partners’ Percentage Interests, and this method of allocation shall continue until such Excess Loss shall have been completely allocated.

(f) To the extent of any Recapture Income resulting from the sale or other taxable disposition of a Partnership asset, the amount of any gain allocated to each of the Partners shall be Recapture Income to the extent such Partner (or a predecessor in interest) has been allocated or has claimed any deduction directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gain as Recapture Income.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.1 other than Sections 4.1(b) through 4.1(e) (the “Required Allocations”), the Required Allocations shall be taken into account in making the allocations under Section 4.1(a) (the “Agreed Allocations”) so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of items of income, gain, loss and deduction allocated to each Partner pursuant to the Required Allocations and the Agreed Allocations, together, shall be equal to the net amount of such items that would have been allocated to each Partner under the Agreed Allocations had the Required Allocations not otherwise been provided for in this Section 4.1.

(h) It is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the chargeback provisions and the limitation on loss allocation provisions provided herein satisfy the “allocation of nonrecourse deduction” rules provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv) and the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1T(b)(2)(ii)(d) (relating to the alternate test for economic effect and qualified income offset). It is further intended that the allocations under this Section shall effect an allocation for Federal income tax purposes in a manner so that allocations in this Agreement will have, or be deemed to have, substantial economic effect under Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. If for any reason the allocations contained in this Agreement shall conflict with the Treasury Regulation promulgated under Section 704 of the Code, the Management Committee may

amend these provisions if it receives an opinion of counsel that such an amendment is necessary to reflect allocations consistent with such regulations.

(i) The Partnership shall allocate items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit attributable to a Partnership Interest that is assigned during a year between the assignor and assignee of such Partnership Interest or to a newly issued Partnership interest in accordance with any method that the Management Committee determines is likely to be upheld under Section 706 of the Code.

4.2 Allocations for Tax Purposes. (a) For Federal and state income tax purposes, except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.2, each item of Partnership income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated to the Partners consistent with the allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction heretofore described in Section 4.1.

(b) In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any corresponding provisions of applicable state law), income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for Federal income tax purposes and its Agreed Value.

In the event the Carrying Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to Section 3.3(c) hereof, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take into account any variation between adjusted basis of such asset for Federal income tax purposes and its Carrying Value in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(c) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit and basis allocation recognized by the Partnership for Federal income tax purposes and allocated to the Partners in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be determined without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code that may be made by the Partnership; provided, that such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted, as necessary or appropriate, to take into account those adjustments permitted by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code and, where appropriate, to provide only Partners recognizing gain on Partnership distributions covered by Section 734 of the Code with the Federal income tax benefits attributable to the increased basis in Partnership property resulting from any election under Section 754 of the Code.

(d) Any credits of the Partnership shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests or as required by the Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(e) Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.2 are solely for Federal, state and local tax purposes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of income, gain, loss and deduction or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

(f) The Partners are aware of the income and other tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article IV and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article IV in reporting their shares of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit.

4.3 General Partners. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, the interests of the General Partners as General Partners, taken together, in each material item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be equal to at least 1% of each such item at all times during the existence of the Partnership, subject to the temporary allocations required under Section 704(b) and (c) of the Code provided for in this Agreement.

4.4 Distributions. (a) Within 75 days after the end of each of its fiscal years, the Partnership shall distribute cash to the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in an aggregate amount equal to the Federal taxable income of the Partnership allocated to the Partners multiplied by the sum of the highest Federal corporate income tax rate (currently 35%) and an assumed combined state and local income tax rate of 3%.

(b) Other than the distributions required to be made under Section 4.4(a) above, the Management Committee may from time to time in its sole discretion cause the Partnership to distribute cash or other property to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(c) No reimbursement for expenses made pursuant to this Agreement and no payment described in Section 707(c) of the Code shall be deemed to be distributions for purposes of this Agreement.

(a) Other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Management Committee is hereby authorized to (i) create titles for management officials of the Partnership; (ii) establish the power and authority associated with such titles to act as the agent of the General Partners to represent the Partnership in dealings with third parties, provided that the General Partners shall have no power to grant to any management official any control over the affairs of the Partnership, which control shall remain solely vested in the General Partners; (iii) elect, appoint and remove such management officials to and from the positions so created; and (iv) indemnify and hold harmless such management officials against any loss, expense or damage suffered by reason that such Person was a management official of the Partnership. The appointment of such management officials shall not constitute such management officials as general partners of the Partnership and shall not affect the rights, duties and obligations of the General Partners as general partners, or the Management Committee under this Agreement. All Persons elected as management officials of the Partnership shall report to the Management Committee which, on behalf of the General Partners, in all respects shall retain the ultimate management authority and control over the affairs of the Partnership. All officials of the Partnership other than the management officials shall report to the management officials.

The Management Committee in its discretion may also choose a Chairman, additional Vice Presidents, one or more Assistant Secretaries, a Treasurer, one or more Assistant Treasurers and other management officials. Any number of positions may be held by the same Person, unless otherwise prohibited by law or this Agreement. The Management Committee shall elect the management officials of the Partnership (other than the President who shall be appointed by TransCanada GP in its sole discretion) who shall hold their positions for such terms and shall exercise such powers and perform such duties, as shall be determined from time to time by the Management Committee; and all management officials of the Partnership shall hold such position until their successors are chosen and qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal.

The salaries of all management officials of the Partnership, if any, shall be fixed by the Management Committee. The responsibilities and duties of the management officials are as follows:

(i) The President shall be the chief executive officer of the Partnership and, subject to the Management Committee, on behalf of the General Partners, having full and complete control over the business and affairs of the Partnership, each shall have general supervision of the business of the Partnership and shall see that all orders and resolutions of the Management Committee are carried into

effect. The President may execute all bonds, mortgages, contracts and other instruments of the Partnership, except where required or permitted by law to be otherwise signed and executed and except that the other management officials of the Partnership may sign and execute documents when so authorized by the Management Committee. The President shall also perform such other duties and may exercise such other powers as from time to time may be assigned to him or her by the Management Committee.

(ii) At the request of the President or in his absence or in the event of his inability or refusal to act, the Vice President so designated by the Management Committee shall perform the duties of the President, and when so acting, shall have all the powers of and be subject to all the restrictions upon the President. Each Vice President shall perform such other duties and have such other powers as the Management Committee from time to time may prescribe.

The Secretary shall give, or cause to be given, notice of all meetings of the Partners of the Partnership and shall perform such other duties as may be prescribed by the Management Committee under whose supervision he shall be. If the Secretary shall be unable or shall refuse to cause to be given notice of all meetings of the Partners of the Partnership, and if there shall be no Assistant Secretary, then the Management Committee may choose another management official to cause such notice to be given. The Secretary shall see that all books, reports, statements, certificates and other documents and records required by law to be kept or filed are properly kept or filed, as the case may be.

(iv) The Treasurer shall have the custody of the Partnership funds and securities and shall keep full and accurate accounts of receipts and disbursements in books belonging to the Partnership and shall deposit all moneys and other valuable effects in the name and to the credit of the Partnership in such depositories as may be designated by the Management Committee. The Treasurer shall disburse the funds of the Partnership as may be ordered by the Management Committee, taking proper vouchers for such disbursements, and shall render to the President and the Management Committee an account of all his transactions as Treasurer and of the financial condition of the Partnership. If required by the Management Committee, the Treasurer shall give the Partnership a bond in such sum and with such surety or sureties as shall be satisfactory to the Management Committee for the faithful performance of the duties of his office and for the restoration to the Partnership, in case of his death, resignation, retirement or removal from office, of all books, papers, vouchers, money and other property of whatever kind in his possession or under his control belonging to the Partnership.

(v) Other Management Officials. Such other management officials as the Management Committee may choose shall perform such duties and have such

powers as from time to time may be assigned to them by the Management Committee.

The General Partners shall determine the expenses which are allocable to the Partnership in any reasonable manner. Such reimbursements shall be in addition to any reimbursement to a General Partner as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 6.7.

(d) Any amount reimbursed to a General Partner pursuant to Sections 6.4(b) or 6.4(c) which is disallowed by FERC shall be reimbursed to the Partnership by such General Partner.

(b) Any Affiliate of a General Partner and any equity holder, director, officer or employee of a General Partner may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Partnership, including business interests and activities which conflict with or are in direct competition with the Partnership for his or its own account and for the account of others, and may own interests in the same properties as those in which the Partnership owns an interest, without having or incurring any obligation to offer any interest in such properties, businesses or activities to the Partnership or any Partner, and, except as specified in Section 6.5(a), no other provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit any such Person from conducting such other businesses and other activities. Neither the Partnership nor any of the Partners shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership relationship created hereby in any business ventures of any such Person or any of the revenues, profits or losses derived therefrom.

6.6 Dealings with the General Partners. (a) Any General Partner or Affiliate thereof with the consent of the General Partners may lend to the Partnership funds needed by the Partnership for such periods of time as the General Partners may determine; provided, however, that such General Partner or Affiliate may not charge the Partnership interest at a rate greater

than the rate (including points or other financing charges or fees) that would be charged the Partnership (without reference to the General Partner’s financial abilities or guaranties) by unrelated lenders on comparable loans. The Partnership shall reimburse such General Partner or Affiliate for any costs incurred by him or it in connection with the borrowing of funds obtained by such General Partner or Affiliate and loaned to the Partnership.

(b) Either of the General Partners may itself, or may enter into an agreement with an Affiliate to, render services to the Partnership. Any service rendered to the Partnership by a General Partner or any such Affiliate shall be on terms that are fair and reasonable to the Partnership. Approval by the Management Committee of the terms of any such agreement shall constitute an acknowledgement that the terms contained in such agreement are fair and reasonable to the Partnership. The General Partner, other than the General Partner or the Affiliate thereof which is providing the services, shall have the right to require the Partnership to conduct an audit of such services. The provisions of Section 6.4 shall apply to the rendering of services described in this Section 6.6(b).

(c) Neither any General Partner nor any Affiliate thereof shall sell, transfer or convey any property to, or purchase any property from, the Partnership, directly or indirectly, except pursuant to transactions that are fair and reasonable to the Partnership.

6.7 Indemnification. (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership shall indemnify any Person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal, by reason of the fact that the Person is or was a General Partner or an equity holder, director or officer of a General Partner or management official of the Partnership, or is or was serving at the request of a General Partner or the Partnership as an equity holder, director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, unless such Person failed to act in good faith and in a manner that such Person actually believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership. This indemnification shall continue as to any Person who has ceased to serve in any or all of the foregoing capacities and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any deceased Person. The right to this indemnification shall be deemed a contract right and shall include the right to be advanced currently the expenses incurred in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding.

(b) If a claim under paragraph (a) of this Section is not paid in full by the Partnership within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the Partnership, except in the case of a claim for the advancement of expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding in which case the applicable period shall be 20 days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Partnership to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any suit or in a suit brought by the Partnership to recover the advancement of expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such a claim. In any action brought by the

indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder or by the Partnership to recover the advancement of expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, the Partnership shall have the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. No unilateral determination by the Partnership that the indemnitee has not met the standard of conduct set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met that standard of conduct or, in the case of an action brought by the indemnitee under this paragraph (b), be a defense to the action.

(c) The right to indemnification and the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any other right that any Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, agreement or otherwise.

(d) The Partnership may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect any Person against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such expense, liability or loss under the Partnership Act.

(e) The Partnership may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Management Committee, grant rights to indemnification and the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Partnership lesser than or coextensive with the rights set forth above in this Section.

(f) In no event may an indemnitee subject the Limited Partners to personal liability by reason of these indemnification provisions.

(g) An indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 6.7 because the indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

6.8 Liability.

8.5 Further Restrictions on Transfer. In addition to the other limitations on Transfers set forth in this Article VIII and elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, no Partner shall, and each Partner shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, effect a Transfer of any Partnership Interest if such Transfer would (a) violate the then applicable Federal and state securities laws or rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission or any other governmental authorities with jurisdiction over such transfer, (b) result in the Partnership being treated as a corporation for Federal income tax purposes (including Section 7704 of the Code) or being terminated under Section 708(b) of the Code, unless in the case of a termination under Section 708(b) of the Code, such termination would not have a material adverse effect on any non-transferring Partner’s present or future allocable share of Partnership taxable income or loss with respect to its Partnership Interest (also taking into account any recapture of credits) as compared to its present or future allocable share of Partnership taxable income or loss if there had not been such a termination, or (c) affect the Partnership’s existence or qualification as a limited partnership under the Partnership Act.
