Rights and Liabilities of the Limited Partners.

Limited Partners are not required to make any capital contributions to the Partnership except amounts agreed by them to be paid, or pay or be personally liable for, any expense, liability or obligation of the Partnership, except to the extent (i) his or her Capital Contribution and liability under a Limited Partner Loan, if any; (ii) his or her proportionate share of the undistributed profits of the Partnership; and (iii) the amount of certain Distributions received from the Partnership as provided by the Act.
