ARTICLE 2

Capital Contributions

2.1 Capital Contributions to the Partnership.

(a) The Partners initially contributed capital to the Partnership in the amounts set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule B to this Agreement. A record of any capital contributions in addition to those listed on Schedule B is maintained on the books of account and records of the Partnership. The Partners shall have no obligation to make any capital contribution other than the initial capital contributions specified on Schedule B to this Agreement.

Such capital contributions shall be made from time to time if, as and when the General Partner may approve.

A record of the Sharing Rations shall be maintained on the books of account and records of the Partnership. The Sharing Ratio means, in respect of each Partner, the ratio that such Partner’s total capital contributions to the Partnership bear to the total capital contributions of all Partners

to the Partnership. In the event any Partner fails to contribute its full pro rata portion of an additional capital contribution pursuant to this Section 2.1(c), the Partners’ Sharing Ratios shall be adjusted as appropriate to reflect such ratio.

Rights and Obligations of Partners

The Limited Partner may not participate in the management, control, or direction of the Partnership’s operations, business, or affairs, transact any business for the Partnership, or have the power to act for or on behalf of or to bind the Partnership, such powers being vested solely and exclusively in the General Partner.

3.2 Reserved

3.3 Officers. The General Partner may appoint, and remove with or without cause, such officers (each an “Officer”) of the Partnership as the General Partner from time to time may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion. Any Officer so appointed by the General Partner shall serve in the capacity so appointed until (i) removed with or without cause by the General Partner, (ii) such Officer’s successor shall be duly elected and appointed by the General Partner or (iii) such Officer’s death, disability or resignation and shall have such powers and perform such duties with respect to the management of the Partnership as may be authorized from time to time by the General Partner.

The General Partner shall be personally liable for the debts and obligations of the Partnership if (but solely to the extent) required by applicable law; provided, however, that all such debts and obligations shall be paid or discharged first with the property of the Partnership (including insurance proceeds) before the General Partner shall be obligated to pay or discharge any such debt or obligation with its personal assets. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the General Partner shall not be personally liable for

any debts or obligations that are nonrecourse or that, under the terms thereof, do not create or impose such liability. The Limited Partner shall not be personally liable for any of the debts or obligations of the Partnership.

3.6 Other Activities of Partners. Neither this Agreement nor any principle of law or equity shall preclude or limit, in any respect, the right of any Partner or any Affiliate thereof to engage in or derive profit or compensation from any activities or investments, nor give any other Partner any right to participate or share in such activities or investments or any profit or compensation derived therefrom.

ARTICLE 4

Exculpation and Indemnity

4.1 Exculpation. None of the Limited Partner, the General Partner, any Affiliate of the General Partner, any Officer, agent, employee or advisor of the Partnership, nor any officer, director, manager, member, employee, stockholder, or partner of the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, shall be liable, responsible, or accountable in Damages or otherwise to the Partnership or any Partner by reason of, or arising from or relating to the management and conduct of the operations, business, or affairs of, or any action taken or failure to act on behalf of, the Partnership, except to the extent that any of the foregoing is determined, by a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, to have been primarily caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith of the Person claiming exculpation or the willful violations of the express provisions hereof by the Person claiming exculpation.

4.2 Indemnity. The Partnership shall indemnify the General Partner, each Affiliate of the General Partner, each Officer of the Partnership and each officer, director, stockholder, manager, member, and partner of the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, and if so determined by the General Partner, each employee of the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, against any claim, loss, damage, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, and costs of investigation and appeal) suffered or incurred by any such indemnitee by reason of, or arising from or relating to the operations, business, or affairs of, or any action taken or failure to act on behalf of, the Partnership, except to the extent any of the foregoing (a) is determined by final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been primarily caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith of the Person claiming indemnification or (b) is suffered or incurred as a result of any claim (other than a claim for indemnification under this Agreement) asserted by the indemnitee as plaintiff against the Partnership. Unless a determination has been made (by final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction) that indemnification is not required, the Partnership shall, upon the request of any indemnitee, advance or promptly reimburse such indemnitee’s reasonable costs of investigation, litigation, or appeal, including reasonable attorneys’ fees; provided, however, that the affected indemnitee shall, as a condition of such indemnitee’s right to receive such advances and reimbursements, undertake in writing to repay promptly the Partnership for all such advancements or reimbursements if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such indemnitee is not then entitled to indemnification under this Section 4.2. No Partner shall be

required to contribute capital in respect of any indemnification claim under this Section 4.2 unless otherwise provided in any other written agreement to which such Partner is a party.

4.3 Survival. The foregoing provisions of this Article IV shall survive the resignation, removal or termination of any indemnitee hereunder or any termination of this Agreement.

5.2 Tax Allocations. Net profits and net losses and all related items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Partners in such a manner as shall cause the capital accounts of the Partners to equal, as nearly as possible, the amounts such Partners would receive if all cash on hand at the end of such year were distributed to the Partners under Section 5.1, and all assets on hand at the end of such year were sold for cash at the book values of such assets, all Partnership liabilities were satisfied to the extent required by their terms, and all remaining cash were distributed to the partners under Section 5.1.

ARTICLE 6

Admissions, Registration, Transfers and Withdrawals

6.1 Admission of New Partners.

(a) New Partners may be admitted to the Partnership only with the written consent of the General Partner; provided, however, that in no event shall a new Partner be admitted to the Partnership if such admission would, after giving effect to such admission, cause the number of Targeted Holders to exceed ninety (90). No Partner’s Sharing Ratio or interest in the Partnership shall (as a result of the admission of any new Partner or the increase in any Partner’s Sharing Ratio) be diluted or otherwise reduced unless approved in writing by such diluted Partner. Substituted Partners shall not be deemed new Partners for purposes of this Section 6.1.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.1(a), (i) any direct or indirect owner of a majority economic interest in the General Partner may acquire (either directly from the Partnership through an additional issuance of such interest by the Partnership or as a contribution from its shareholders), an additional General Partner interest in the Partnership, and (ii) any direct or indirect owner of a majority economic interest in the Limited Partner may acquire (either directly from the Partnership through an additional issuance of such interest by the Partnership or as a

contribution from its member) an additional Limited Partner interest in the Partnership, in either case so long as (i) the Person acquiring such interest is, at the time of acquisition of such General Partner interest or Limited Partner interest, as the case may be, contractually obligated under a Transaction Document to contribute such General Partner interest or Limited Partner interest, on the date of receipt thereof, and prior to taking any action with respect thereto, to the General Partner or the Limited Partner, respectively, or to a Person that is so obligated and (ii) the Sharing Ratios between General Partners and Limited Partners, as set forth on Schedule B hereto are maintained.

6.2 Registration and Transfers of Partnership Interests.

(a) A Partner may sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer, in whole or in part, its partnership interest in the Partnership or take or omit to take any action, filing, election, or other action that could result in a deemed sale, assignment, encumbrance, transfer, or other disposition, but only with the prior written consent of the General Partner, except for transfers permitted by Section 6.1(b). Any pledge of a partnership interest shall be evidenced by an Indorsement (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) thereof by the Partner in favor of the assignee, pledge or transferee. The General Partner shall not consent to any transfer of any interest in the Partnership that could cause the Partnership to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(b) If a Partner (the “Pledgor”) pledges all or a portion of its partnership interest in the Partnership pursuant to this Section 6.2 to another Person (the “Pledgee”), the Pledgee (or any assignee of the Pledgee) shall not be admitted to the Partnership as a Partner unless such Pledgee exercises the rights of a secured creditor in accordance with (i) the relevant documents governing the applicable secured obligations and (ii) applicable law (the exercise of such rights pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this subsection (c), “Foreclosure”). Following a Foreclosure, such Pledgee or a direct transferee of such Pledgee shall, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, be admitted as a Partner, succeeding to the partnership interest of the Pledgor, and, immediately following such admission, the Pledgor shall cease to be a Partner of the Partnership.

(c) The Partnership shall maintain a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the registration of Partnership interests, and the transfers thereof (including pledges in respect of which the Company has received written notice executed by the Partner granting such pledge) shall be recorded.

6.3 Substituted Partners. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for in Section 6.1(b) and Section 6.2(b), a transferee of any general or limited partnership interest in the Partnership may become a substituted General Partner or Limited Partner (as the case may be) in place of the transferor only upon the written consent of the General Partner. The General Partner or its Affiliates shall have the right to be a Limited Partner or to become a substituted Limited Partner. Unless a transferee of any Partnership interest of a Partner becomes a substituted General Partner or substituted Limited Partner in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such transferee shall not be entitled to any of the rights granted to a Partner

hereunder other than the right to receive all or part of the share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, expenses, credits, distributions, or returns of capital to which his or its transferor would otherwise be entitled with respect to the Partnership interest so transferred.

6.4 Reserved

6.5 Consent. Any Partner whose consent is required or permitted pursuant to this Article 6 may give or withhold (whether reasonably or unreasonably) such consent in the sole discretion of such Partner.

ARTICLE 7

General Accounting Provisions and Reports

7.1 Books of Account; Tax Returns. The General Partner shall prepare and file, or shall cause to be prepared and filed, all United States federal, state, and local income and other tax returns required to be filed by the Partnership and shall keep or cause to be kept complete and appropriate records and books of account in which shall be entered all such transactions and other matters relative to the Partnership’s operations, business, and affairs as are usually entered into records and books of account that are maintained by Persons engaged in business of like character or are required by the Act. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such books and records shall be maintained in accordance with the basis utilized in preparing the Partnership’s United States federal income tax returns, which returns, if allowed by applicable law, may in the discretion of the General Partner be prepared on either a cash basis or accrual basis.

7.2 Place Kept; Inspection. The books and records shall be maintained at the principal place of business of the Partnership, and all such books and records shall be available for inspection and copying at the reasonable request, and at the expense, of any Partner during the ordinary business hours of the Partnership.

7.3 Tax Matters Partner. The General Partner shall be the tax matters partner of the Partnership and, in such capacity, shall exercise all rights conferred, and perform all duties imposed, upon a tax matters partner under Sections 6221 through 6233 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

ARTICLE 8

Amendments and Waivers

8.1 With or Without Limited Partner Consent. Subject to Section 8.2, the General Partner may, whether with or without the consent or vote of the Limited Partner or any other Person, amend or waive any provision of this Agreement.

8.2 Limitations on Amendments. No amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective against a given Partner without the consent or vote of such

Partner if such amendment or waiver would (a) cause the Partnership to fail to be treated as a limited partnership under the Act or cause the Limited Partner to become liable as a general partner of the Partnership, (b) change Section 2.1 of this Agreement to increase a Partner’s obligations to contribute to the capital of the Partnership, (c) change Section 4.1 or 4.2 of this Agreement to affect adversely any Partner’s rights to exculpation or indemnification, (d) change Section 5.1 or 5.2 of this Agreement to affect adversely the participation of such Partner in the income, gains, losses, deductions, expenses, credits, capital, or distributions of the Partnership (including any amendments to admit one or more new limited partners or General Partners), or (e) change the percentage of Partners necessary for any consent or vote required hereunder to the taking of any action.

ARTICLE 9

Dissolution and Termination

9.1 Dissolution.

(a) The Partnership shall be dissolved upon the first to occur of any of the following:

(i) the termination of the legal existence of the last remaining General Partner of the Partnership or the occurrence of any other event which terminates the partnership of the last remaining General Partner of the Partnership unless the business of the Partnership is continued in a manner permitted by this Agreement or the Act;

(ii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under the Act; or

(iii) the execution of a written instrument by the General Partner ordering such dissolution.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the last remaining Limited Partner or the last remaining General Partner of the Partnership to cease to be a Partner of the Partnership, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of such Partner is hereby authorized and directed to, within 90 days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the partnership of such Partner in the Partnership, agree in writing (i) to continue the Partnership and (ii) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute Limited Partner or General Partner, as applicable, of the Partnership, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the partnership of the last remaining Partner of the Partnership in the Partnership.

(c) The events set forth in Section 9.1(a) shall be the only events that shall cause the termination of the legal existence of the Partnership. Notwithstanding any other provision of this

agreement, (i) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or other similar event or proceeding shall not cause a Partner to cease to be a Partner of the Partnership and, except as provided in Section 9.1(a) of this Agreement, (ii) the withdrawal of any Partner shall not cause a termination of the legal existence of the Partnership; and upon the occurrence of either event set forth in the foregoing clause (i) or, except as provided in Section 24(a), the foregoing clause (ii), the business of the Partnership shall continue without dissolution.

9.2 Accounting on Dissolution. Following the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section 9.1 of this Agreement, the books of the Partnership shall be closed, and a proper accounting of the Partnership’s assets, liabilities, and operations shall be made by the General Partner, all as of the most recent practicable date. The General Partner shall serve as the liquidator of the Partnership unless it has been removed or unless it otherwise fails or refuses to serve. If the General Partner does not serve as the liquidator, one or more other Persons or entities maybe elected to serve by vote or consent of the Limited Partner. The expenses incurred by the liquidator in connection with the dissolution, liquidation, and termination of the Partnership shall be borne by the Partnership.

9.3 Termination. As expeditiously as practicable, but in no event later than one year (except as may be necessary to realize upon any material amount of property that may be illiquid), after the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section 9.1, the liquidator shall cause the Partnership to pay the current liabilities of the Partnership and (a) establish a reserve fund (which may be in the form of cash or other property, as the liquidator shall determine) for any and all other liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of the Partnership in a reasonable amount determined by the liquidator to be appropriate for such purposes or (b) otherwise make adequate provision for such other liabilities. To the extent that cash required for the foregoing purposes is not otherwise available, the liquidator may sell property, if any, of the Partnership for cash. Thereafter, all remaining cash or other property, if any, of the Partnership shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1. At the time final distributions are made in accordance with Section 5.1, a certificate of cancellation shall be filed in accordance with the Act, and the legal existence of the Partnership shall terminate, but if at any time thereafter any reserved cash or property is released because in the judgment of the liquidator the need for such reserve has ended, then such cash or property shall be distributed in accordance with Section 5.1.

9.4 No Negative Capital Account Obligation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Partner who has a negative capital account upon final distribution of all cash and other property of the Partnership be required to restore such negative account to zero.

9.5 No Other Cause of Dissolution. The Partnership shall not be dissolved, or its legal existence terminated, for any reason whatsoever except as expressly provided in this Article 9.

9.6 Merger. The Partnership may, with the written consent of the General Partner, adopt a plan of merger and engage in any merger permitted by applicable law.
