(b)                                 Whenever this Agreement, the Management Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby provides that the General Partner or any of its Affiliates is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the General Partner or such Affiliate shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to consider only such interests and factors as it desires and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Partnership or the Limited Partner, or (ii) in its “good faith” or under another express standard, the General Partner or such Affiliate shall act under such express standard and, except as required by applicable law, shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or applicable law.

Section 7.9                                      Other Matters Concerning the General Partner

(a)                                  The General Partner may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any certificate, document or other instrument believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(b)                                 The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers, and other consultants and advisors selected by it and shall be fully protected in relying on any opinion or advice of any such Person as to matters which the General Partner believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence in connection with any action taken or suffered or omitted by the General Partner hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion or advice.

(c)                                  The General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its agents, and the General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by the General Partner in good faith.

Section 7.10                                Limited Liability; Indemnification

(a)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and except to the extent required by applicable law, no Indemnitee shall be liable to the Partnership or any Partner for any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Indemnitee in its capacity as a person of the type described in the definition of the term “Indemnitee”, provided that such Indemnitee acted in good faith and such action or omission does not involve the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.  The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that an Indemnitee did not act in good faith or that an action or omission involves gross negligence or willful misconduct.

14

(b)                                 The Partnership shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify each Indemnitee against expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee, in connection with any threatened, pending or completed claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding to which such Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of (i) such Indemnitee’s status as a General Partner, any Affiliate of the General Partner, any Person who is or was a director, officer, manager, member, employee or agent of the General Partner or any such Affiliate, or any Person who is or was serving at the request of the General Partner or any such Affiliate as a director, officer, manager, member, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another Person or (ii) any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Indemnitee in any capacity referred to in clause (i) of this Section 7.10(b), relating to this Agreement or the property, business, affairs or management of the Partnership (provided the Indemnitee acted in good faith and the act or omission which is the basis of such action, suit or proceeding does not involve the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee).

(c)                                  Expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding subject to Section 7.10(b) shall be paid by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking (which need not be secured) by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined, by a court of competent jurisdiction, that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Partnership as authorized hereunder.

(d)                                 The indemnification provided by Section 7.10(b) shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in a capacity for which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns, administrators and personal representatives of the Indemnitee.

(e)                                  To the extent commercially reasonable, the Partnership shall purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Indemnitees against any liability which may be asserted against or expense which may be incurred by an Indemnitee in connection with the Partnership’s activities, whether or not the Partnership would have the power to indemnify an Indemnitee against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

(f)                                    An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under Section 7.10(b) because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(g)                                 The provisions of this Section 7.10 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees and the heirs, successors, assigns, administrators and personal representatives of the Indemnitees and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

Section 12.1                                Dissolution

The Partnership shall be dissolved, and its affairs wound up, upon:

(a)           expiration of its term as provided in Section 2.4;

(b)           withdrawal of the General Partner pursuant to Section 11.1 (unless a Person becomes a successor General Partner prior to or on the effective date of such withdrawal);

Section 12.2                                Reconstitution

Upon dissolution of the Partnership in accordance with Sections 12.1(b) or (c), and a failure of all Partners to agree to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment of a successor General Partner as provided in the proviso to Section 12.1, then within 180 days after the event described in Sections 12.1(b) or (c), the remaining Partners may elect to reconstitute the Partnership and continue its business by forming a new partnership on terms identical to those set forth in this Agreement and having as a general partner a Person approved by such Partners.  Upon any such election by such Partners, all Partners shall be bound thereby and shall be deemed to have consented thereto.  Unless such an election is made within such 180-day period, the Partnership shall conduct only activities necessary to wind up its affairs.  If such an election is made within such 180-day period, then (a) the reconstituted partnership shall continue until the end of the term set forth in Section 2.4 unless earlier dissolved in accordance with this Article XII and (b) all necessary steps shall be taken to cancel this Agreement and the Certificate of Limited Partnership and to enter into a new partnership agreement and certificate of limited partnership; provided that the right to reconstitute and to continue the business of the Partnership shall not exist and may not be exercised unless the Partnership has received an

Opinion of Counsel that (i) the exercise of the right would not result in the loss of limited liability of the Limited Partner and (ii) neither the Partnership nor the reconstituted partnership would be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.

Section 12.3                                Liquidation

Upon dissolution of the Partnership, unless the Partnership is reconstituted pursuant to Section 12.2, the General Partner, or in the event the General Partner has withdrawn from the Partnership, been removed or dissolved or become bankrupt (as defined in Section 12.1), a liquidator or liquidating committee approved by the Limited Partner shall be the liquidator of the Partnership (the “Liquidator”).  The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall be entitled to receive such compensation for its services as may be approved by the Limited Partner.  The Liquidator shall agree not to resign at any time without 15 days’ prior written notice and (if other than the General Partner) may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by notice of removal approved by the Limited Partner.  Upon dissolution, resignation or removal of the Liquidator, a successor and substitute Liquidator (who shall have and succeed to all rights, powers and obligations of the original Liquidator) shall, within 30 days thereafter, be approved by the Limited Partner.  Except as expressly provided in this Article XII, the Liquidator approved in the manner provided herein shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or approval of any of the parties hereto, all of the powers conferred upon the General Partner under the terms of this Agreement (but subject to all of the applicable limitations, contractual and otherwise, upon the exercise of such powers, other than the limitation on sale set forth in Article XIV) to the extent appropriate or necessary in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator to carry out the duties and functions of the Liquidator hereunder for and during such period of time as shall be reasonably required in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator to complete the winding-up and liquidation of the Partnership as provided for herein.  The Liquidator shall liquidate the assets of the Partnership and apply and distribute the proceeds of such liquidation in the following order of priority, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable law:

(a)           to creditors of the Partnership (including Partners); and

(b)           in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests;

provided, however, that the Liquidator may place in escrow a reserve of cash or other assets of the Partnership for contingent liabilities in an amount determined by the Liquidator to be appropriate for such purposes.

Section 12.4                                Distribution in Kind

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.3 requiring the liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if on dissolution of the Partnership the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may, in its sole discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership and may, in its sole discretion, distribute to the Partners, as tenants in common, in lieu of cash, and as their interests may appear in accordance with the

20

provisions of Section 12.3(b), undivided interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation.  Any distributions in kind shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management thereof as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any joint ownership agreements or other agreements governing the ownership and operation of such properties at such time.  The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

Section 12.5                                Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership

Upon the completion of the distribution of Partnership property pursuant to Sections 12.3 and 12.4, the Partnership shall be terminated, and the Liquidator (or the Limited Partner if necessary) shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate of Limited Partnership and all qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership.

Section 12.6                                Return of Capital

The General Partner shall not be personally liable for the return of the Capital Contributions of the Limited Partner, or any portion thereof, it being expressly understood that any such return shall be made solely from Partnership assets.

Each Partner hereby waives any rights to partition of the Partnership property.

(e)           a change that is required or contemplated by any provision of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 10.2;
