Notwithstanding any provisions of this SECTION 8.09 to the contrary, the Operations Manager shall not be entitled to make any decisions or take any actions on behalf of the Partnership that require the majority vote of the Management Committee or the Limited Partners in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or that would cause a violation of any provisions of the Loan Documents. In addition, if one or more members of the Management Committee advises the Operations Manager that any decision or action required to perform an Operational Task is to be delayed pending the prior review of, and approval by, the Management Committee, then the Operations Manager shall not make such decision or take such action until a decision is made by the Management Committee.

For purposes of this SECTION 8.09, the term “Costs” shall include labor, overhead, travel and any other direct out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the performance of the Operational Tasks, but shall not include any third party or out-of-pocket costs that are not incurred in connection with the performance of the Operational Tasks, including by way of example and not by way of limitation, any costs for legal and consulting advice for the Partnership, which excluded costs shall be reimbursed by the Partnership, subject, however, to the limitations contained in the Loan Documents.

In addition, if one or more members of the Management Committee advises the Administrative Manager that any decision or action required to perform an Administrative Task is to be delayed pending the prior review of, and approval by, the Management Committee, then the Administrative Manager shall not make such decision or take such action until a decision is made by the Management Committee.

(b)           The Administrative Manager shall be responsible for all of the “Costs” that it incurs in performing the Administrative Tasks and shall not be entitled to be reimbursed for any of such Costs unless the amount of such Costs is extraordinary and the reimbursement of such Costs is approved by the Management Committee. Any such extraordinary Cost reimbursement shall only be made from and to the extent of any distributions that are made to the Partnership pursuant to Section 3.5 (e) (ii) (x) (D) of the Disbursement Agreement.

10.           A new SECTION 8.12 is hereby added to the Agreement to read as follows:

 

“SECTION 8.12. Fixed Annual Fee.

 

(a)           During such calendar year or portion thereof as NDP serves as the Operations Manager in accordance with SECTION 8.9 hereof, NDP shall be paid the Fixed Annual Fee. During such calendar year or portion thereof as PAS serves as the Administrative Manager, PAS shall be paid the Fixed Annual Fee.

 

(b)           As of the Term Loan Date, the amount of the Fixed Annual Fee shall be the sum of One Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($175,000). The Fixed Annual Fee shall be increased or decreased each January 1st following the Term Loan Date in accordance with the increase or the decrease in the GNP Implicit Price Deflator for the prior calendar year. For any partial calendar year, the Fixed Annual Fee shall be determined by multiplying the amount of the Fixed Annual Fee by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of days in such calendar year that the Administrative Manager or the Operations Manager, as the case may be, has performed the Administrative Tasks or the Operational Tasks hereunder and the denominator of which is 365.

 

(c)           The Fixed Annual Fee shall be paid in four equal quarterly installments. Subject to the provisions of clauses (d) through (g) below, such installments of the Fixed Annual Fee shall be paid on each Quarterly Date.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, for the period that begins on the Term Loan Date and ends on January 1, 1994, the payment of the Fixed Annual Fee may only be made out of funds properly in the Borrower’s Account in accordance with Section 5.03 of the Master Agreement and Section 3.5 (e) (ii) (x) of the Disbursement Agreement. Further, to the extent that any quarterly installment of the Fixed Annual Fee during any calendar year exceeds an amount equal to one half of one percent (.5%) of the gross operating revenue of the Partnership during the three (3) month period ending on the immediately preceding Quarterly Date (the “Prior Quarter”), the payment of such excess amount shall be deferred and may only be paid as provided in clauses (f) or (g) below. The amount of such unpaid excess, plus any other excess amounts that were not paid on any previous Quarterly Dates, less any payments that were made with respect to any such unpaid excess amounts is referred to herein as the “Deferred Amount.”

 

7


 

(e)           Interest shall accrue on the Deferred Amount at an annual rate equal to the prime lending rate announced from time to time by Bankers Trust Company from the date such payment is due through the date of payment. Any such interest outstanding is referred to herein as the “Deferred Amount Interest.”

 

(f)            Except as otherwise provided in clause (g) below, the payment of any Deferred Amount and any Deferred Amount Interest may only be made out of funds that are properly in the Borrower’s Account in accordance with Section 5.03 of the Master Agreement and Section 3.5 (e) (ii) (x) of the Disbursement Agreement.

 

(g)           If, on a Quarterly Date, the amount that is equal to one half of one percent (.5%) of the gross operating revenue of the Partnership during the Prior Quarter exceeds the amount of the Fixed Annual Fee due on such Quarterly Date (the “Positive Excess”), the Operations Manager and the Administrative Manager shall each be paid their respective Deferred Amount but only up to the amount of the Positive Excess.

 

11.           Except as modified by this Third Amendment, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Third Amendment to be executed as of the date first above written.
