NOTE 5 – PARTNERSHIP CAPITAL

The Partnership makes loans available to those general partners and, in limited circumstances, subordinated limited partners (in each case, other than members of the Executive Committee, as defined in the Partnership’s Nineteenth Amended and Restated Agreement of Registered Limited Liability Limited Partnership, dated June 6, 2014 (the “Partnership Agreement”)), who require financing for some or all of their Partnership capital contributions. In limited circumstances a general partner may withdraw from the Partnership and become a subordinated limited partner while he or she still has an outstanding Partnership loan. It is anticipated that, of the future general and subordinated limited partnership capital contributions (in each case, other than for Executive Committee members) requiring financing, the majority will be financed through Partnership loans. Loans made by the Partnership to such partners are generally for a period of one year but are expected to be renewed and bear interest at the interest rate defined in the loan documents. The Partnership recognizes interest income for the interest earned related to these loans. The outstanding amount of Partnership loans is reflected as a reduction to total Partnership capital. As of March 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the outstanding amount of Partnership loans was $381 and $297, respectively. Interest income earned from these loans, which is included in interest and dividends in the Consolidated Statements of Income, was $4 and $3 for the three month periods ended March 30, 2018 and March 31, 2017, respectively.

The following table shows the roll forward of outstanding Partnership loans for:

	Three Months Ended
	March 30,			March 31,
	2018			2017
Partnership loans outstanding at beginning of period	$	297		$	266
Partnership loans issued during the period		168			140
Repayment of Partnership loans during the period		(84	)		(71	)
Total Partnership loans outstanding	$	381		$	335

The minimum 7.5% annual payment on the face amount of limited partnership capital was $17 for both the three month periods ended March 30, 2018 and March 31, 2017, respectively. These amounts are included as a component of interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Partnership filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on January 17, 2014, to register $350 of Interests to be issued pursuant to the Partnership's 2014 Employee Limited Partnership Interest Purchase Plan (the "2014 Plan"). The Partnership previously issued approximately $298 of Interests under the 2014 Plan. The remaining $52 of Interests may be issued under the 2014 Plan at the discretion of the Partnership in the future.

The Partnership filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with the SEC on January 12, 2018, to register $450 of Interests to be issued pursuant to the Partnership's 2018 Employee Limited Partnership Interest Purchase Plan (the "2018 Plan"). The Partnership intends to offer initial Interests under the 2018 Plan during the latter part of 2018 and the initial offering under the 2018 Plan is expected to close early in 2019.
