15. Admission of Additional Partners. One or more additional limited partners and general partners of the Partnership may be admitted to the Partnership with the written consent of the General Partner provided that such new limited partner or general partner, as applicable, agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Loan remains outstanding, no additional limited partner or general partner, as applicable, may be admitted to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 15 unless expressly permitted by the Loan Documents and Section 2(d), 14 or 15 of this Agreement.

16. Liability of Partners. Except as provided herein or by the Act, the General Partner shall have the liabilities of a partner in a partnership without limited partners. The Limited Partners shall have no liability under this Agreement except as provided herein or by the Act.

The Limited Partners shall not be liable for the repayment or discharge of the debts or obligations of the Partnership beyond the extent of the Limited Partner’s capital contribution, except as required by the Act.

In the event of conflict between anything in Exhibit B and any other provision of this Agreement, Exhibit B shall govern. No Partner has caused or permitted, and no Partner will cause or permit, the Partnership to fail to be in compliance with Exhibit B.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and any provision of law that otherwise so empowers the Partnership, the General Partner or any other Person, unless and until the Loan is no longer outstanding and except to the extent expressly permitted in the Loan Documents, neither the General Partner nor any other Person shall be authorized or empowered, nor shall they permit the Partnership, without the prior written consent of the General Partner (which consent of the General Partner shall require, in turn, the prior unanimous written consent of its member(s) (including both Non-Economic Members (as defined in the Limited Liability Company Agreement of the General Partner)) and the prior written consent of its managers, if any), to take any Bankruptcy Action (as defined herein); provided, however, that the General Partner may not vote on or authorize the taking of, any Bankruptcy Action, unless there are at least two Non-Economic Members of the General Partner then serving in such capacity. As used herein, the term “Bankruptcy Action” shall mean to cause the Partnership’s Bankruptcy.

19. Notices. All notices provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing, duly signed by the party giving such notice, and shall be delivered, mailed via an overnight courier service or mailed by registered or certified mail, to the applicable party, at the address set forth below its name on the signature pages hereto, or at such other address as such Partner hereafter designates by written notice to the Partnership and each other Partner. All such notices shall be deemed to have been given when received.

20. Failure to Pursue Remedies. The failure of any party to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any provision of this Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having the effect of an original violation.

21. Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy by any party shall not preclude or waive its right to use any or all other remedies. Said rights and remedies are given in addition to any other rights the parties may have by law, statute, ordinance or otherwise.

22. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all of the parties and, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, their successors, legal representatives and assigns.

25. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one instrument.

26. Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings pertaining thereto.
