IV. MANAGEMENT OF THE PARTNERSHIP

4.1. The General Partner. The General Partner will manage the business and affairs of the Partnership. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 4.2 of this Agreement, all determinations relating to the business and affairs of the Partnership (including without limitation all decisions required or permitted to be made by the Partnership as a participant in any other Person in which it may have an interest) will be made by the General Partner in its sole discretion and will not give rise to any right or claim by any Partner or the Partnership unless made in violation of an express provision of this Agreement. The General Partner will have complete authority to take, in its own name or in the name of the Partnership, any action that the General Partner determines to be appropriate under this Agreement or for the conduct of the business of the Partnership. All decisions and actions taken by the General Partner under the authority of this Section 4.1 will be binding upon all of the Partners and the Partnership.

(a) Any act in contravention of this Agreement;

- 2 -

4.3. Authority as to Third Persons. Notwithstanding Sections 4.1 and 4.2, the signed statement of the General Partner reciting the authority or the necessary approval of the General Partner for any action, as to any third Person, will be conclusive evidence of the authority of the General Partner to take that action.

- 3 -

gross negligence or willful breach of a material provision of this Agreement that in either event causes actual, material damage to the Partnership.

V. NEW LIMITED PARTNERS, RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF LIMITED

PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND OTHER MATTERS

5.1. Transfers of Limited Partnership Interests. Without first obtaining the written consent of the General Partner (which consent may be given or withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner), (i) no Limited Partner may voluntarily or involuntarily Transfer, or create or suffer to exist any Encumbrance against, all or any part of its record or beneficial interest in the Partnership, and (ii) no Person may be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner.

5.2. Procedure for Admission.

(a) General. No Person will have title to any interest in the Partnership until he (i) has executed and delivered all documents deemed appropriate by the General Partner to reflect his admission to the Partnership and his agreement to be bound by this Agreement and (ii) has paid all expenses connected with his admission. Any purported Transfer or Encumbrance will be ineffective until the transferor and his transferee furnish to the Partnership the instruments and assurances the General Partner may request, including without limitation, if requested, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the General Partner that the interest in the Partnership being transferred or encumbered has been registered or is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and all applicable securities laws.

(b) Effect of Transfers. Upon an effective Transfer of ownership of all or any part of a Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership, the Partnership will continue and, upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.2, the transferee of the interest, if the transferee is not already a Limited Partner, will be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner or, if the transferee is already a Limited Partner, will continue as a Limited Partner with an additional Percentage Interest reflecting the transfer.

VI. LIQUIDATION AND DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP

6.1. Dissolution Events. The Partnership will be dissolved upon the happening of any of the following events:

(a) All or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, including its Cash Items, are sold or distributed to the Partners;

(b) A document is signed by all Partners that states their election to dissolve the Partnership;

(d) The expiration of the term of the Partnership (as set forth in Section 1.6).

- 4 -

6.2. Withdrawal of or Transfer by General Partner; Continuation.

(a) Transfer of General Partner Interest. The General Partner may not voluntarily or involuntarily Transfer, or create or suffer to exist any Encumbrance against, all or any part of its record or beneficial interest in the Partnership or voluntarily dissolve itself or voluntarily cause its own dissolution or withdraw from the Partnership except with prior written Partner Consent.

(b) Withdrawal of General Partner. In the event of the withdrawal of the General Partner from the Partnership (notwithstanding that such is in contravention of Section 6.2(a) of this Agreement), the Partnership shall thereupon be dissolved. In such event, the interest of the General Partner shall be converted to a Limited Partner’s interest for all purposes, except that it shall not participate in voting on any matter in which the Limited Partners have the right to vote.

(c) Continuation. If the Partnership is dissolved pursuant to Section 6.2(b) the business of the Partnership shall be continued if, within thirty (30) days of such withdrawal of the General Partner, the Limited Partners elect by unanimous written action to continue the business of the Partnership and designate one or more Persons (including without limitation any Limited Partner who consents) to be a General Partner of the Partnership, upon terms consented to by all Limited Partners and such new General Partner shall have executed and delivered to the Limited Partners written notice of its agreement to be bound by all relevant terms of this Agreement. If the Limited Partners fail to continue the Partnership’s business as provided in this Section 6.2(c), the Partnership will be liquidated under Section 6.3.

6.3. Method of Liquidation.

(a) Generally. Upon the happening of any of the events specified in Section 6.1 and, if applicable, the failure to continue the business of the Partnership under Section 6.2, the General Partner, or if dissolution results from the withdrawal or retirement from the Partnership of the General Partner, any liquidating trustee elected by Partner Consent, will commence as promptly as practicable to wind up the Partnership’s affairs as promptly as practicable, unless the General Partner or the liquidating trustee (either, the “Liquidator”) determines that an immediate liquidation of Partnership assets would cause undue loss to the Partnership, in which event the liquidation may be deferred for a time determined by the Liquidator to be appropriate. Assets of the Partnership may be liquidated or distributed in kind, as the Liquidator determines to be appropriate. The Partners will continue to share profits and losses from operations during the period of liquidation in the manner set forth in Section 3.1, however, any distributions to Partners will be made in accordance with this Section 6.3. The proceeds from liquidation of the Partnership, including repayment of any debts of Partners to the Partnership, and any Partnership assets that are not sold in connection with the liquidation will be applied in the following order of priority:

(i) to payment of the debts and satisfaction of the other obligations of the Partnership;

- 5 -

(ii) to the establishment of any reserves deemed appropriate by the Liquidator for any liabilities or obligations of the Partnership, which reserves will be held for the purpose of paying liabilities or obligations and, at the expiration of a period the Liquidator deems appropriate, will be distributed in the manner provided in Section 6.3(a)(iii); then

(iii) to the Partners as provided in Section 3.2.

(b) Compliance With Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that the allocations provided in Section 3.1 result in the distributions required pursuant to Section 6.3(a) being in accordance with positive capital accounts as provided for in the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704(b). However, if after giving hypothetical effect to the allocations required by Section 3.1, the capital accounts of the Partners are in such ratios or balances that distributions pursuant to Section 6.3(a) would not be in accordance with the positive capital accounts of the Partners as required by the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704(b), such failure shall not affect or alter the distributions required by Section 6.3(a). Rather, the Liquidator will have the authority to make other allocations of profit and loss, or items of income, gain, loss or deduction among the Partners that, to the extent possible, will result in the capital accounts of each Partner having a balance prior to distribution equal to the amount of distributions to be received by such Partner pursuant to Section 6.3(a).

6.4. Date of Termination. The Partnership will terminate when all of the cash and property available for application under Section 6.3(a) have been applied in accordance with Section 6.3(a). The establishment of any reserves in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.3(a)(ii) will not extend the term of the Partnership, but any reserve will be distributed in the manner provided in Section 6.3(a) upon expiration of the period established for the reserve.

6.5. Death, Dissolution, Legal Incompetency or Bankruptcy of a Limited Partner. The death, dissolution, declaration of legal incompetence or bankruptcy of a Limited Partner will not dissolve the Partnership. The deceased, dissolved, incompetent or bankrupt Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership will pass to a successor in interest of the Limited Partner, who will succeed to the deceased, dissolved, incompetent or bankrupt Limited Partner’s entire interest in the Partnership and will become a Limited Partner of the Partnership with the same Percentage Interest, the same rights to distributions made by the Partnership, the same obligations and the same share of the Partnership’s profits and losses as the deceased, dissolved, incompetent or bankrupt Limited Partner.

VII. MISCELLANEOUS

7.1. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Partnership will end on December 31, unless the General Partner selects another fiscal year-end.

7.2. Records. The records of the Partnership will be maintained at the principal place of business of the General Partner or at any other location selected by the General Partner.

A Person may change his notice address by notice in writing to the Partnership and to each other Partner given under this Section 7.4.

7.9. Governing Law. This Agreement is to be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws.

7.10. Other Instruments. The Partners will execute other instruments and agreements that the General Partner determines to be appropriate to carry out this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

7.11. Legal Construction. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement for any reason is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of this Agreement, which will be construed as if the invalid or unenforceable provision had not been contained in this Agreement and, in lieu of each invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to the invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.

(a) To cause the Partnership or any of its assets to be partitioned;

(b) To cause the appointment of a receiver for all or any portion of the assets of the Partnership;

(d) To file a complaint, or to institute any proceeding at law or in equity, to cause the dissolution or liquidation of the Partnership.

Each of the Partners has been induced to enter into this Agreement in reliance upon the waivers set forth in this Section 7.13 and without those waivers no Partner would have entered into this Agreement.

7.14. Partner Approvals. Written approvals by Partners may be given in lieu of a meeting of Partners. A written approval may be in one or more instruments each of which may be signed by one or more Partners.

No creditor of the Partnership or a Partner will be entitled to require the General Partner to solicit or accept any loan or additional capital contribution for the Partnership or to enforce any right that the Partnership or any Partner may have against a Partner, whether arising under this Agreement or otherwise.
