Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement, upon Dissolution the Partnership may remain in existence for up to two years after the end of the Fiscal Year during which Dissolution occurs to permit an orderly winding-up of the Partnership’s business and affairs.

8.2.1 Distribution Priority. Upon the dissolution of the Partnership as provided in Section 8.1 hereof (“Dissolution”), the Partnership assets shall be liquidated (except as permitted by Section 8.3 hereof) and the affairs of the Partnership shall be wound up and terminated by the General Partner or, if there is no General Partner, by a liquidating trustee selected by a majority in Interest of the Limited Partners.

(a) First, to the payment of debts and liabilities of the Partnership and expenses of the liquidation and winding up;

(b) Second, to the setting up of any reserves (to be held in a special interest-bearing account) which the General Partner or the liquidating trustee may deem reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership; provided, however, that at the expiration of such time as the General Partner or such trustee shall deem advisable (not to exceed two (2) years from the event which caused Dissolution, except in the case of any litigation matter where the length of time such reserves are maintained shall be determined by the General Partner or the liquidating trustee in its sole discretion), the balance of such reserves remaining after payment of such contingent liabilities shall be distributed in the manner set forth in Subsection 8.2.1(c);

8.3 Liquidation of Assets. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2, if the General Partner or the liquidating trustee shall determine that an immediate sale of all or part of the Partnership assets would cause undue loss to the Partners, then the General Partner or the liquidating trustee may notify the Partners or their representatives of such fact and, to avoid such loss, may defer liquidation of and withhold from distribution for a reasonable time any assets of the Partnership not required to satisfy the Partnership’s debts and obligations, or may distribute the Partnership’s assets to the Partners in kind. The General Partner or the liquidating trustee may not so defer liquidation and distribution of Partnership assets, however, to the extent prohibited by the laws of any jurisdiction in which the Partnership is then formed or qualified.

8.4 Final Accounting. The General Partner or the liquidating trustee shall provide to each Partner a financial statement setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Partnership as of the date of Dissolution and all income, gains, losses and deductions realized by the Partnership upon completion of the liquidation of Partnership assets. Upon compliance by the General Partner or the liquidating trustee, as applicable, with the foregoing distribution plan, the General Partner or liquidating trustee shall take such steps as are required under the Act to cancel the Certificate, upon the completion of which the Partnership shall terminate and the Partners shall cease to be such.
