However, the General Partner also has a legal duty to manage its affairs in a manner that benefit its members. This can create a conflict of interest between the Unitholders of the Partnership and the members of the General Partner. The Partnership Agreement provides certain requirements for the resolution of conflicts, but also limits the liability and reduces the fiduciary duties of the General Partner to the Unitholders. The Partnership Agreement also restricts the remedies available to Unitholders for actions that might otherwise constitute breaches of the General Partner’s fiduciary duty.</div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><font size="2"> </font></div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0pt 0px 0pt 13.5pt; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> <strong>Advances from General Partner</strong></div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><font size="2"> </font></div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0pt 0px 0pt 13.5pt; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> During the year ended December 31, 2011 and the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the General Partner made cash advances to the Partnership of $<font style=" FONT-SIZE: 10pt">955,000</font> and $<font style=" FONT-SIZE: 10pt">30,000</font>, respectively, for the purpose of funding working capital. <font style="COLOR: #262626">On September 14, 2012, a Super-Majority of the Members, as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the General Partner, dated April 12, 2011, as amended (“<u>Agreement</u>”), approved the issuance and sale by the General Partner of 12,000 additional Membership Interests of the General Partner (“<u>Additional Interests</u>”) at a purchase price of $<font style=" FONT-SIZE: 10pt">50.00</font> per unit, pursuant to Sections 3.2(a) and 6.13(a) of the Agreement (“<u>GP Sale</u>”).

All funds advanced to the Partnership by the General Partner since November 17, 2010 have been treated as a loan pursuant to the terms</font> of an intercompany demand promissory note effective March 1, 2012. The intercompany demand note provides for advances from time to time by the General Partner to the Partnership of up to $<font style=" FONT-SIZE: 10pt">2,000,000</font>. Repayment of such advances, together with accrued and unpaid interest, is to be made in 12 substantially equal quarterly installments starting with the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

These intercompany amounts were historically evidenced by book entries. Effective March 1, 2012, Regional and the Partnership entered into an intercompany demand promissory note incorporating all advances made as of December 31, 2010 and since that date. The note bears interest at the rate of <font style=" FONT-SIZE: 10pt">10</font>% annually from January 1, 2011.

The agreement provides for the monthly payment of allocable “overhead costs,” which include rent, utilities, telephones, office equipment and furnishings attributable to the space utilized by employees of the General Partner. The term of the agreement is month-to-month and can be terminated by either party on 30 day’s advance written notice. Effective January 1, 2011, the Partnership entered into an identical agreement with Rover Technologies LLC, a limited liability company affiliated with Ian Bothwell, the General Partner’s Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, located in Manhattan Beach, California. Mr. Bothwell is a resident of California and lives in Manhattan Beach.
