of businesses similar to that of the Partnership for their own accounts and for
the accounts of others. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
General Partner and its Affiliates shall have the right to organize and operate
other partnerships, joint ventures and other ventures similar to the

rights by virtue of this Agreement in and to such independent business ventures
or to the income or profits derived therefrom.

whom reimbursement is to be made undertakes to repay funds so advanced if it is
later determined by final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction that such person is not entitled to be indemnified or held harmless
by the Partnership. The right of the General Partner and its

Partner ceases to be a Partner. All rights of the General Partner and
