the Partnership.
SECTION 2.07. EXCULPATION OF LIABILITY. The General Partner and its
Affiliates (as defined in Section 2.08) shall have no liability to the
Partnership or to any Partner for any loss suffered by the Partnership which
arises out of any action or inaction of the General Partner or its Affiliates if
the General Partner or its Affiliates, in good faith, determined that such

of conduct did not constitute negligence or misconduct of the General Partner or
its Affiliates.

be indemnified by the Partnership against any losses, judgments, liabilities,
expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained by them in

Affiliates.
Notwithstanding the above, the General Partner and its Affiliates shall not

involving alleged securities law violations; or (2) such claims have been
dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction or
(3) with respect to a settlement of claims against a particular indemnitee, a
court of competent jurisdiction approves such settlement and finds that
indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made.

which insures any party against any liability as to which such party is herein
prohibited from being indemnified.

affect any other rights to which the General Partner or any Affiliate may be
entitled. Nothing contained in this Section 2.08 shall limit any lawful rights
to indemnification existing independently of this Section.

ARTICLE III - CAPITAL ACCOUNTS; ALLOCATIONS; DISTRIBUTIONS
SECTION 3.01. CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS.
(a) CONTRIBUTIONS. On or prior to the date of becoming a Limited Partner of
the Partnership, each Limited Partner shall make the Capital Contribution in
cash as set forth next to his/her name on Exhibit A. The Capital Contribution of
the General Partner shall at all times be not less than one percent (1%) of the
aggregate of all Capital Contributions of the Partners and the General Partner
shall make any additional Capital Contributions required to maintain such
Capital Contribution of not less than one percent (1%). The aggregate of all
Capital Contributions shall be, and hereby is agreed to be, available to the
Partnership to carry out the purposes and objects of the Partnership.
(b) BORROWING. Limited Partners may be given the opportunity prior to the
due date of any Capital Contribution, to borrow all or any part of such
contribution from TAH upon such terms as may be offered by TAH. Such terms may
include, without limitation, the following:
(i) The principal of the loan may accelerate and be payable earlier
than the date due (i) to the extent of any distributions payable to a
borrower as a Limited Partner under Section 3.05(a)(i), (ii) upon the
termination of the employment of the borrower by TAH and its affiliates,
other than a termination occasioned by the death or disability of the
borrower, or (iii) upon the termination of the borrower's interest in the
Partnership.
(ii) The General Partner may have the right to offset loan obligations
due TAH against distributions or other payments due the borrower as a
Limited Partner hereunder and to cause the payment of such loans to the
extent of such distributions or payments.
(c) VESTING. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest of each individual
Limited Partner shall be subject to a vesting requirement that the Limited
Partner remain in the employment of TAH or any of its affiliates for a
consecutive period of three (3) years after the date of such Limited Partner's
admission to the Partnership. This vesting requirement may be waived in whole or
in part by the General Partner in its discretion and shall be waived in the
event of termination of employment due to normal retirement under the employer's
policies, death or disability. Upon termination of such employment of an
individual Limited Partner for any reason within three (3) years from the date
of such Limited Partner's admission to this Partnership, unless the General
Partner otherwise determines in its discretion:
7
12
(i) The remaining principal and accrued interest on any loans
owed by the Limited Partner under subparagraph (b) hereof shall be
immediately due and payable;
(ii) The right of the Limited Partner to any distributions of
assets of the Partnership under Section 3.05 shall terminate; and
(iii) The Limited Partner shall be required to withdraw from the
Partnership in accordance with Section 4.03 and such Limited Partner's
interest shall be liquidated under Section 4.04 or purchased by the
General Partner on equivalent terms for retransfer to one or more
substituted Limited Partners under Section 5.02 and the proceeds of
such liquidation or purchase shall be applied to payment of the
remaining principal and accrued interest of any loans owed by the
Limited Partner under subparagraph (b) hereof before any payment or
distribution thereof is made to the Limited Partner.
SECTION 3.02. CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. A separate capital account (each, a
"CAPITAL ACCOUNT") shall be established for each Partner and shall be maintained
in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv),
and this Section 3.02 shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent
therewith. Whenever the Partnership would be permitted to adjust the Capital
Accounts of the Partners pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) Partnership shall so adjust the Capital Accounts of the
Partners. In any event, the Partnership shall adjust the Capital Accounts of the
Partners annually, and upon the admission of a new Partner or the withdrawal of
an existing Partner, to reflect revaluations of Partnership property in
accordance with Article VIII. Whenever the Capital Accounts of the Partners are
adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to
reflect revaluations of Partnership property, (i) the Capital Accounts of the
Partners shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) for allocations of depreciation, depletion, amortization
and gain or loss, as computed for book purposes in accordance with Article VIII,
with respect to such property, and (ii) the Partners' distributive shares of
depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss, as computed for tax
purposes, with respect to such property shall be determined so as to take
account of the variation between the adjusted federal income tax basis and book
value of such property in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c).
SECTION 3.03. DEFICIT CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. If upon the liquidation of the
General Partner's interest in the Partnership the General Partner has a deficit
balance in its Capital Account, the General Partner shall contribute to the
Partnership an amount equal to such deficit balance. Any such contribution shall
be made by the General Partner no later than the end of the taxable year of the
Partnership during which such liquidation occurs (or, if later, within ninety
(90) days after such liquidation). This Section 3.03 is intended to comply with
the requirements of Treasury Regulations
8
13
Section 1.04-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(3) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner
consistent therewith.
SECTION 3.04. ALLOCATIONS.
(a) BOOK ITEMS. Items of income, gain, deduction and loss, as computed
for book purposes (including any such items resulting from any revaluation
of property under Section 3.02) for any fiscal year or portion thereof
shall be allocated among the Partners pro rata in proportion to the Capital
Account balances of the Partners.
(b) TAX ITEMS. Items of income, gain, deduction and loss, as computed
for federal income tax purposes, shall be allocated in the same manner as
under Code Section 704(c).
(c) ALLOCATIONS ON WITHDRAWAL. If a Limited Partner's interest in the
Partnership is liquidated by the Partnership pursuant to Section 4.04 and
the Limited Partner receives less than the amount of the balance in his/her
Capital Account, then the excess of (i) the balance in his/her Capital
Account over (ii) the amount distributed by the Partnership shall be
allocated among all the remaining Partners in proportion to their Capital
Account balances. This provision shall be applied so as to maintain
equality between the Capital Accounts of the Partners and the amount of
Partnership capital reflected on the Partnership's balance sheet, as
computed for book purposes, in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q). Further, notwithstanding sections 3.02 and 9.01(b),
if a Limited Partner's interest is purchased by the General Partner
pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(iii) and the purchase price is less than the
balance of the Capital Account of the Limited Partner, then (i) the excess
of (x) the balance in. the Limited Partner's Capital Account over (y) the
amount paid by the General Partner shall be allocated among all the
remaining Partners in proportion to their Capital Account balances and (ii)
the General Partner (and any assignee of the General Partner) shall have a
Capital Account balance with respect to the purchased interest in the
Partnership equal to the purchase price paid by the General Partner.
(d) QUALIFIED INCOME OFFSET. No allocation shall be made pursuant to
Section 3.04(a) to the extent that it shall cause or increase a deficit
balance in any Limited Partner's Capital Account (in excess of such
Partner's obligation, if any, to restore a deficit in his/her Capital
Account) as of the end of the Partnership taxable year to which such
allocation relates. In making the foregoing determination, a Limited
Partner's Capital Account shall be reduced by the amounts described in
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6). Any
Limited Partner who unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or
distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) shall be allocated items of income and
gain in an amount and manner
9
14
sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury
Regulations, such deficit balance as quickly as possible. This Section
3.04(d) is intended to comply with the alternate test for economic effect
set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be
interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.
(e) GENERAL PARTNER NONREC0URSE DEBT. If a Partner makes a nonrecourse
loan to the Partnership which is "partner nonrecourse debt" within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4), then any item of
Partnership loss, deduction or Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditure that
is attributable to such debt shall be allocated to such Partner and
appropriate items of income and gain shall be "charged back" to such
Partner. This Section 3.04(e) is intended to comply with Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) and shall be interpreted and applied in a
manner consistent herewith.
(f) CURATIVE ALLOCATIONS. The allocations set forth in Sections
3.04(d) and 3.04(e) (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply
with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)
and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-(2)(i), respectively.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 3.04 (other than the
Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into
account in allocating other items of income, gain, deduction and loss among
the Partners, pursuant to Sections 3.04(a) and 3.04(c), so that, to the
extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the
Regulatory Allocations to each Partner shall be equal to the net amount
that would have been allocated to each such Partner if the Regulatory
Allocations had not occurred.
SECTION 3.05. DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTNERS.
(a) DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTNERS.
(i) It shall be within the sole discretion of the General Partner
as to whether, when and in what amount a distribution of cash or other
assets of the Partnership shall be made. Such distributions (other
than a distribution made in connection with the withdrawal of a
Partner under Article IV) shall be made to all of the Partners in the
ratio that their respective Capital Accounts bear to one another at
the time of the distribution.
(ii) The General Partner may, but shall not be required to, make
annual distributions to each Partner in an amount which the General
Partner estimates is sufficient to pay federal and state income taxes
attributable to allocations under Section 3.04(b). Notwithstanding
Section 3.05(a)(i), any distributions made pursuant to this Section
3.05(a)(ii) shall be made to the Partners in proportion to the excess
10
15
of cumulative income and gain over cumulative deductions and losses
allocated to each of the Partners pursuant to Section 3.04(b).
(b) APPLICATION OF DISTRIBUTIONS. To the extent that there is any
amount due from a Limited Partner to TAH under a loan made pursuant to
paragraph 3.01(b), each distribution to a Limited Partner (except a
distribution under subsection(a)(ii) hereof) shall be applied in payment of
such obligation of such Partner.
(c) REPAYMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS. Partners shall be required to repay
Partnership distributions to the extent provided in the ULPA.
SECTION 3.06. NO INTEREST ON CAPITAL. No Partner shall be entitled to
receive interest from the Partnership on his/her Capital Account.
ARTICLE IV - WITHDRAWAL OF LIMITED PARTNER
SECTION 4.01. WITHDRAWAL OF LIMITED PARTNER. Except as otherwise provided
in Section 4.03 hereof, no Limited Partner shall be permitted to withdraw from
the Partnership until his interest in the Partnership is vested under paragraph
3.01(c) and then only with the approval of the General Partner, which approval
may be withheld if the General Partner does not believe that such withdrawal is
in the best interests of the other Limited Partners, whether because of the cash
position of the Partnership, the undesirability of liquidating any of the
investments of the Partnership, or otherwise. The following provisions shall
govern with respect to any withdrawals approved by the General Partner:
(a) No such withdrawal shall be made except as of the last day of a
fiscal year of the Partnership;
(b) Partial withdrawals shall not be permitted and a Partner desiring
to withdraw must withdraw his/her entire interest in the Partnership;
(c) The Partner desiring to withdraw must notify the General Partner
in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to the close of the fiscal year
in which such Partner wishes to effect his/her withdrawal; and
(d) The General Partner may, if necessary to accommodate a request for
withdrawal by a Limited Partner, attempt to obtain a purchaser of the whole
or a part of such Limited Partner's interest.
SECTION 4.02. LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES. In the event any Limited Partner shall
die or shall be declared incompetent or insane or shall be adjudicated a
bankrupt, the legal representative of such Limited Partner shall upon written
notice to the General
11
16
Partner of the happening of any of such events become an assignee of such
Limited Partner's interest subject to all of the terms of this Agreement as then
in effect. Such legal representative may not withdraw from the Partnership
except in accordance with Section 4.01. If the General Partner does not approve
withdrawal of the interest of such legal representative, the General Partner
will use its best efforts, without legal obligation, to find another person,
suitable to the General Partner, willing to assume the Partnership interest of
such legal representative.
SECTION 4.03. MANDATORY WITHDRAWAL. Unless the General Partner otherwise
determines, an individual Limited Partner shall be required to withdraw from the
Partnership upon the termination of his/her employment by TAH and its affiliates
prior to the vesting of his/her interest under paragraph 3.01(c), except for a
termination by reason of normal retirement under the employer's policies, death
or disability, and such Limited Partner's Partnership interest shall be
liquidated under Section 4.04 or purchased by the General Partner for retransfer
to substituted Limited Partners under Section 3.01(c)(iii).
SECTION 4.04. LIQUIDATING SHARE. In the event any Limited Partner shall
withdraw or be required to withdraw in accordance with the provisions of this
Article IV, there shall be paid to such Limited Partner or his/her legal
representative within 60 days after the last day of the fiscal year of the
Partnership which constitutes the effective date of withdrawal, an amount equal
to such Partner's positive Capital Account balance as of the effective date of
withdrawal; provided, however, that in the event of a mandatory withdrawal under
Section 4.03, such Partner shall be paid an amount equal to the lesser of (i)
his/her Capital Contribution(s) less distributions paid to such Partner prior to
the withdrawal date, other than distributions paid under Section 3.05(a)(ii), or
(ii) his/her positive Capital Account balance.
SECTION 4.05. CESSATION OF PARTICIPATION. From and after the effective date
of withdrawal of a Partner from the Partnership under this Article IV, no
interest shall be payable on such Partner's interest in the Partnership to the
date of payout.
ARTICLE V - TRANSFER OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS
SECTION 5.01. ASSIGNABILITY OF INTERESTS.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.02 hereof, the interest of
a Limited Partner shall not be assignable without the prior written consent
of the General Partner. No assignment shall be binding upon the Partnership
until the General Partner receives an executed copy of such assignment in
form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner. The assignee of
such interest may become a substituted Limited Partner only upon the terms
and conditions of Sections 5.02 and 9.01.
12
17
(b) The interest of the General Partner shall not be assignable;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event shall the interest of the General
Partner be reduced below a 1% interest in the Capital Accounts of the
Partners and that such interest may be assigned to a successor to all or
substantially all of the business of the General Partner the Voting Control
of which is held by those persons then holding Voting Control of the
General Partner upon (i) the execution by the General Partner of a written
assignment, the execution by the successor of this Agreement, and the
written assumption by the successor of the obligations of the General
Partner hereunder; and (ii) the receipt by the Partnership of an opinion of
counsel that such assignment and assumption will not result in the
Partnership being classified as an association for Federal income tax
purposes. In the event of such assignment, the successor shall become the
General Partner hereunder, and the predecessor and successor General
Partner shall cause the execution of any necessary papers including,
without limitation, an amendment to the Certificate of Limited Partnership
to record the substitution of the successor as General Partner.
SECTION 5.02. SUBSTITUTED LIMITED PARTNERS. No Limited Partner shall have
the right to substitute an assignee as a Limited Partner in his/her place. The
General Partner shall have the right, in its discretion, to admit as a
substituted Limited Partner any person, firm or corporation acquiring a
partnership interest by assignment from another Limited Partner or from the
General Partner. The admission of an assignee as a substituted Limited Partner
shall be conditioned upon the assignee's written assumption of all obligations
of the assigning Limited Partner and execution of this Agreement as a Limited
Partner. Upon acceptance of a substituted Limited Partner, the General Partner
shall forthwith amend the Certificate of Limited Partnership and any other
necessary papers to show the substitution of such assignee in place of the
assigning Limited Partner. The General Partner's failure or refusal to admit an
assignee as a substituted Limited Partner shall not affect the right of such
assignee to receive the share of profits or other distribution or compensation
to which its assignor would otherwise be entitled.
SECTION 5.03. OBLIGATIONS OF ASSIGNEE. Any assignee, irrespective of
whether such assignee has accepted and adopted in writing the terms and
provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed by the acceptance of such
assignment to have agreed to be subject to the terms and provisions of this
Agreement in the same manner as its assignor.
ARTICLE VI - DURATION AND TERMINATION OF PARTNERSHIP
SECTION 6.01. DURATION. Except as provided in Section 6.03, the Partnership
shall continue for a period of twenty (20) years from and after the date hereof,
provided, however, that with the written consent of the General Partner and
Limited Partners representing at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent
(66 2/3%) of the combined Capital
13
18
Accounts of all the Limited Partners, the Partnership may be terminated at any
time after its first full fiscal year.
SECTION 6.02. WITHDRAWAL OF LIMITED PARTNER. If any Limited Partner shall
withdraw, die, be declared incompetent or insane, or be adjudicated a bankrupt,
such event shall not cause the dissolution or termination of the Partnership,
and the Partnership shall continue until terminated pursuant to Section 6.01 or
Section 6.03.
SECTION 6.03. WITHDRAWAL OF GENERAL PARTNER.
(a) The General Partner may withdraw at any time after March 22, 2000
by giving 90 days prior written notice to the other Partners. If Limited
Partners whose Capital Accounts constitute in excess of 66 2/3% of all
Capital Accounts consent in writing executed within such 90-day period to
the continuation of the Partnership and elect a new General Partner, the
Partnership shall not terminate but shall continue in existence as though
no such withdrawal or filing had occurred, except that the new General
Partner shall be substituted for the former General Partner. Any Limited
Partner who does not consent to such continuation shall have the right to
withdraw by giving notice within 90 days after having been notified of the
continuation of the Partnership and shall be paid in the manner set forth
in Section 4.04.
(b) In the event that the Limited Partners shall have determined to
continue the Partnership, the former General Partner (or its
representative, successors or assigns) shall become a Limited Partner of
the Partnership upon the effective date of such continuation to the extent
of its then interest in the Partnership as a General Partner. Thereafter,
except as otherwise provided below, such former General Partner (or its
representative) shall be treated as a Limited Partner for all purposes of
this Agreement, shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Limited
Partner hereunder, including the right to receive allocations and
distributions on the same basis as all other Limited Partners, and shall
not be entitled to receive any further allocations or distributions to
which the General Partner is entitled hereunder. Upon becoming a Limited
Partner, such former General Partner's Capital Account and Capital
Commitment shall initially be the same as they were on the effective date
of such continuation. Once the General Partner ceases to be such for
whatever reason and becomes a Limited Partner hereunder, such former
General Partner will no longer be personally liable with respect to
Partnership liabilities arising out of events and transactions occurring
after its termination as General Partner (i.e., its Capital Account will be
debited for its share, if any, as Limited Partner of the losses and
expenses arising out of such liabilities but it will not be required to
make additional contributions to the Partnership to satisfy such
liabilities). However, a former General Partner will remain personally
liable for all Partnership liabilities arising out of events and
transactions occurring prior to such former General Partner's termination
as General Partner (i.e., its Capital Account will be debited its share of
losses and
14
19
expenses arising out of such liabilities and it will be required to make
additional contributions to the Partnership to the extent of a deficit in
its Capital Account due to such liabilities arising out of events and
transactions occurring prior to its termination).
SECTION 6.04. LIQUIDATION. Upon the termination of the Partnership the
General Partner, or if there be no General Partner, then a person selected by
Limited Partners representing in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the combined
Capital Accounts of all Limited Partners, shall act as the liquidator (or
liquidators) of the Partnership with full power and authority to:
(a) sell, at such prices and upon such terms as the liquidator in its
sole discretion may deem appropriate, any or all of the Securities,
properties and assets of the Partnership, provided that such sales shall
only be made for cash and, when possible, consummated within ninety (90)
days after the date of termination; and provided further that the
liquidator shall not deal directly or indirectly with the Partnership for
its own account without the approval in writing of all of the Limited
Partners; and
(b) within ninety (90) days after the date of termination or as soon
thereafter as possible, effect distribution of the properties and assets of
the Partnership in cash or in kind in the manner set forth in Section 6.05.
SECTION 6.05. DISTRIBUTION UPON TERMINATION. Upon liquidation of the
Partnership, the assets of the Partnership remaining after the payment, or
reasonable provision therefor, of all Partnership liabilities (and the
establishment of reasonable reserves for contingent liabilities) shall be
distributed to the Partners in proportion to and to the extent of the positive
balances of their respective Capital Accounts. This Section 6.05 is intended to
comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner
consistent therewith.
ARTICLE VII - REPORTS TO PARTNERS
SECTION 7.01. FINANCIAL RECORDS. The General Partner shall keep books of
account in which shall be entered fully and accurately the transactions of the
Partnership and financial records appropriate to the business of the
Partnership.
SECTION 7.02. ANNUAL REPORTS. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after
the end of each fiscal year and upon liquidation of the Partnership, the General
Partner shall prepare and mail to each Partner and to each former Partner who
withdrew during the applicable fiscal year or its legal representative, a report
stating in sufficient detail such transactions effected by the Partnership
during such fiscal year as shall enable such
15
20
Partner or former Partner or the legal representative of such former Partner to
prepare its respective income tax returns, including:
(a) such Partner's Capital Account balance as of the close of such
fiscal year;
(b) the sum of the Capital Account balances as of such date of all the
Partners;
(c) statement of assets and liabilities of the Partnership;
(d) profit and loss statement;
(e) statement of holdings of Securities of the Partnership;
(f) a description of the nature of each of the Partnership's
investments, the cost thereof and the valuation thereof established
pursuant to Article VIII; and
(g) such other financial information and documents as the General
Partner deems appropriate, as a Limited Partner may reasonably request, or
as is required by this Agreement and any amendments hereto.
SECTION 7.03. INSPECTION. A Limited Partner shall have the right at
reasonable times to inspect the books and records of the Partnership and to
discuss its affairs with the agents of the General Partner.
SECTION 7.04. TAX RETURNS. The General Partner will file all Federal, state
or other income tax returns required of the Partnership and will supply to each
Limited Partner such Partner's Form K-1 submitted with the Partner's Federal
tax return. Upon the request of any Partner, subject to the approval of the
General Partner, the Partnership shall elect, pursuant to Code Section 754, to
adjust the basis of Partnership property as permitted and provided in Code
Sections 734 and 743.
ARTICLE VIII - VALUATION
SECTION 8.01. VALUATION OF PARTNERSHIP NET WORTH. In determining the net
worth of the Partnership, the value of any Partnership asset, the Capital
Accounts of the Partners, the value of any distribution, or in determining value
for any other purpose under this Agreement, the provisions of this Article VIII
shall apply.
SECTION 8.02. VALUATION DATE. Valuation shall be determined by the
General Partner as of the close of business on the Market Day preceding the last
day of each fiscal year of the Partnership or as of the close of business on the
date with respect to
16
21
which valuation is to be taken, or if such day is not a Market Day, then on the
Market Day next preceding such date, as the case may be. A Market Day shall be a
day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading. If a
valuation is taken other than in connection with the annual reports described in
Section 7.02, the General Partner shall give notice of such valuation to the
Limited Partners promptly after it is determined.
SECTION 8.03. VALUING SECURITIES AND OTHER ASSETS. The following provisions
shall apply in valuing the assets of the Partnership:
(a) Listed Securities which are not restricted as to saleability or
transferability shall be valued at the closing price as of the Valuation
Date. If any listed Security was not traded on such date, then the mean of
the closing high bid and low asked prices as of the close of business on
such date shall be used.
(b) Unlisted securities which are readily marketable shall be valued
at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices as of the Valuation Date.
(c) Securities, whether listed or unlisted, for which market
quotations are available, but which are restricted as to saleability or
transferability, shall be valued as provided in (a) and (b) above, less a
discount of from ten percent (10%) to twenty-five percent (25%) of the
value thereof as determined in good faith by the General Partner. In
determining the amount of such discount the General Partner shall give
consideration to the nature and length of such restriction and the relative
volatility of the market price of such Security.
(d) Securities for which market quotations are not readily available
and all other assets of the Partnership shall be valued at a fair value as
determined in good faith by the General Partner.
(e) Interests in other partnerships shall be valued by each
partnership at the times and upon the terms provided in its partnership
agreement unless the General Partner of this Partnership otherwise
determines.
(f) Liabilities shall include, in addition to those recorded on the
books of the Partnership, such other accrued or contingent liabilities as
shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
(g) In determining the value of the interest of any Partner in the
Partnership, neither the goodwill nor the right to use the firm name or
trade name of the Partnership shall be considered as an asset of the
Partnership.
ARTICLE IX - MISCELLANEOUS
17
22
SECTION 9.01. ADMISSION OF LIMITED PARTNERS. Except as provided in this
Section, no new Limited Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership and no
additional contribution of capital by a Limited Partner to the Partnership shall
be accepted.
(a) ADDITIONAL LIMITED PARTNERS. Additional Limited Partners may be
admitted in the discretion of the General Partner as of the first day of
July or the first day of January of any year and the interest of such
additional Limited Partner in the Partnership shall be established by
creating a Capital Account for such additional Limited Partner as of that
day in an amount equal to the contribution made by such additional Limited
Partner to the Partnership.
(b) SUBSTITUTED LIMITED PARTNERS. Substituted Limited Partners may
also be admitted in the discretion of the General Partner by assignment or
transfer of the interest of a Limited Partner or the General Partner in

(c) PROCEDURE. The admission of a new Limited Partner, whether an
additional Limited Partner or a substituted Limited Partner, shall be

substituted Limited Partner, as determined by the General Partner, and
(iii) an amendment to the Partnership's Certificate of Limited Partnership

such payment or distribution, either wholly or partially, in Securities or other
property of the Partnership. The amount of any such payment or distribution
shall be deemed to be equal to the value of such securities or other property,
as determined under Article VIII, as of the effective date of their distribution

governmental agencies, closing the New York Stock Exchange at times other than
normal closing dates, and financial crises of a nature materially affecting the
purchase and sale of Securities.
