The Capital Account of each Partner shall be credited with such Partner’s capital contributions to the Partnership, and all Profits allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 16(b), and shall be increased by the amount of any Partnership liabilities that are assumed by such Partner or secured by any Partnership property distributed to such Partner; and the Capital Account of each Partner shall be debited with all Losses allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 16(b), any items of loss or deduction of the Partnership specially allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 16(b), and all cash and the fair market value of any property (net of liabilities assumed by such Partner and the liabilities to which such property is subject) distributed by the Partnership to such Partner, and shall be decreased by the amount of any liabilities of such Partner assumed by the Partnership or which are secured by any property contributed by such Partner to the Partnership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted and maintained in accordance with the rules of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), as the same may be amended or revised. No Partner shall be required to restore any negative balance in its Capital Account except as may be required by applicable law.

(b) Profit and Loss of the Partnership for each fiscal year shall be allocated among the Capital Accounts of the Partners in a manner that as closely as possible gives economic effect to the provisions of Section 15 and other relevant provisions hereof.

 

(c) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes consistent with the manner that the corresponding constituent items of Profit and Loss shall be allocated among the Partners pursuant to this Agreement, except as may otherwise be provided herein or by the Code; provided that in the case of any Partnership asset the Carrying Value of which differs from its adjusted tax basis for United States federal income tax purposes, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall be allocated solely for income tax purposes in accordance with the principles of Sections 704(b) and (c) of the Code (in any manner determined by the General Partner) so as to take account of the difference between Carrying Value and adjusted tax basis of such asset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner in its sole discretion shall make such allocations for tax purposes as may be needed to ensure that allocations are in accordance with the interests of the Partners, within the meaning of the Code and the Regulations. The General Partner shall determine all matters concerning allocations for tax purposes not expressly provided for herein in its sole discretion.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law (including Section 34 of the Act), a Limited

(b)   The withdrawal, removal, bankruptcy or dissolution of the General Partner, unless one or more Limited Partners holding at least two-thirds of the total capital contributions of all the Limited Partners at such time elect to continue the Partnership and appoint a new General Partner within 90 days of withdrawal, removal, bankruptcy or dissolution of the General Partner. If the Limited Partners do not so elect to continue the Partnership, a liquidator shall be elected (the “Liquidator”) by the Limited Partners holding fifty per cent (50%) of the total capital contributions of all the Limited Partners at such time.

 

19.          Winding-up and Liquidation.

 

(a)   General.  Upon an event of dissolution of the Partnership, the Liquidator shall promptly wind up the affairs of and liquidate the assets of the Partnership. In furtherance thereof, the Liquidator shall: (i) have all of the administrative and management rights and powers of the General Partner (including the power to bind the Partnership); and (ii) be reimbursed for Partnership expenses it incurs. Following an event of dissolution of the Partnership, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell or otherwise dispose of assets in the manner approved by the Liquidator, but shall engage in no other activities except as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidator, to preserve the value of the Partnership’s assets during the period of winding-up and liquidation. In any event, the Liquidator shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the period of winding-up and liquidation of the Partnership from extending beyond the date which is two (2) years after an event of dissolution of the Partnership. At the conclusion of the winding-up and dissolution of the Partnership, the Liquidator shall: (x) designate one or more persons to hold the books and records of the Partnership (and to make such books and records available to the Partners on a reasonable basis) for not less than six (6) years following the termination of the Partnership under the Act; and (y) execute, file and record, as necessary, a notice of dissolution or similar document to effect the termination of the Partnership under the Act and other applicable laws.

 

(b)   Distributions.  Distributions to the Partners during the period of dissolution may be made in cash or in kind at the determination of the Liquidator.

 

(c)   Application of Partnership Assets.  In connection with the winding-up of the Partnership, the Partnership’s assets (including proceeds from the sale or other disposition of any assets during the period of winding-up) shall be applied and distributed in the order as follows: (i) to repay any indebtedness of the Partnership, whether to third parties or the Partners (other than in their capacity as such), in the order of priority required by law; (ii) then to any reserves

 

9

20.          Tax Matters.  The General Partner may act as the “tax matters partner” as defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code, appoint or act as the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223(a) of the Code and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, and exercise any authority permitted under such provisions of the Code.

 

21.          Tax Treatment.  It is intended that the Partnership shall be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and no election to the contrary shall be made.

 

22.          Additional Documents.

(b)   Each Partner hereby grants to the General Partner a power of attorney (with full rights of assignment and power of substitution) irrevocably appointing the General Partner as the granting Partner’s attorney-in-fact with power and authority to execute or acknowledge, in the granting Partner’s name and on its behalf, any document described in Section 22(a) above including but not limited to:

(iii)          Declarations of limited partnership in various jurisdictions and amendments thereto;

 

(iv)          All deeds, agreements and other documents that the General Partner deems appropriate to qualify or continue the Partnership as an exempted limited partnership in the Cayman Islands and as required in the jurisdictions in which the Partnership may conduct business, or which may be required to be filed by the Partnership or the Partners under the laws of any jurisdiction or under any amendments or successor statute to the Act, to reflect the dissolution or termination of the Partnership or the Partnership being governed by any amendments or successor statutes to the Act or to reorganize or refile the Partnership in a different jurisdiction; or

 

10



 

(v)           To file, prosecute, defend, settle or compromise litigation, claims or arbitration on behalf of the Partnership.

 

(c)  The above power of attorney shall be irrevocable and deemed to be given to secure a proprietary interest of the donee of the power or performance of an obligation owed to the donee and shall survive and shall not be affected by the subsequent death, lack of capacity, insolvency, bankruptcy or dissolution of any Limited Partner.

The General Partner hereby declares and warrants that any Partnership assets for which legal title is held in the name of the General Partner shall be held in trust by the General Partner as an asset of the Partnership in accordance with Section 16(1) of the Act for the use and benefit of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
