(the “Partnership”), a limited partnership formed pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the “Act”), in accordance with the terms set forth below. Certain capitalized terms not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in Article 13 of this Agreement.

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, Medici Ventures, Inc. (the “Corporation”) was organized as a Delaware corporation in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and was, immediately prior to the date hereof, governed by the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on September 13, 2016, and as amended by the Certificate of Amendment filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on May 3, 2019;

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in accordance with the Act and the DGCL, the Corporation is being converted to a Delaware limited partnership pursuant to and in accordance with Section 17-217 of the Act and Section 266 of the DGCL (the “Conversion”); and

WHEREAS, in connection with the Conversion, all of the outstanding shares of the Corporation are being converted into limited partner interests in the Partnership, and the General Partner is being admitted as the sole general partner of the Partnership with an interest in the Partnership, each as described in paragraph 1.5(c) below.

ARTICLE 1

NAME, PURPOSE AND OFFICES OF PARTNERSHIP; CONVERSION

1.1 Name. The name of the Partnership is Medici Ventures, L.P. The affairs of the Partnership shall be conducted under the Partnership name.

1.2 Purpose. The primary purpose of the Partnership is to act as a venture capital fund, to provide the Limited Partners with the opportunity to realize significant long-term capital appreciation from holdings in the Target Companies and other Portfolio Companies acquired after the Formation Date in accordance with this Agreement. The general purposes of the Partnership are to buy, sell, hold, and otherwise invest in securities of every kind and nature and rights and options with respect thereto, including, without limitation, stock, notes, bonds and debentures; to exercise all rights, powers, privileges, and other incidents of ownership or possession with respect to securities held or owned by the Partnership; to enter into, make, and perform all contracts and other undertakings; to advance and promote blockchain technology; and to engage in all activities and transactions as may be necessary, advisable, or desirable to carry out the foregoing.

 

1


1.3 Principal Offices. The Partnership will have its principal office in Salt Lake City, Utah or at such other place or places as the General Partner may from time to time determine. The General Partner shall promptly provide written notice to each of the Limited Partners in the event of a change of the location of the Partnership’s principal office.

1.4 Registered Agent and Office. The name of the registered agent for service of process of the Partnership and the address of the Partnership’s registered office in the State of Delaware shall be Corporation Service Company, 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, Delaware 19808, or such other agent or office in the State of Delaware as the General Partner may from time to time designate. The General Partner shall promptly provide written notice to each of the Limited Partners in the event of any change with respect to the Partnership’s registered agent in the State of Delaware.

1.5 Conversion.

(a) The Partnership is being formed on this 23rd day of April, 2021 (the “Formation Date”) upon the filing of the Certificate of Conversion to Limited Partnership of the Corporation and the filing of the Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Conversion, this Agreement and such filings with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware are hereby authorized, ratified and approved. This Agreement shall be effective simultaneously with the Conversion.

(b) At the effective time of the Conversion, the Corporation is being converted to the Partnership and, for all purposes of the laws of the State of Delaware and otherwise, the Conversion shall be deemed a continuation of the existence of the Corporation in the form of a Delaware limited partnership. In connection with the Conversion, the Corporation is not being required to wind up its affairs or pay its liabilities and distribute its assets, and the Conversion does not constitute a dissolution of the Corporation. As of the Formation Date, for all purposes of the laws of the State of Delaware and otherwise, all of the rights, privileges and powers of the Corporation, and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to the Corporation, as well as all other things and causes of action belonging to the Corporation, shall remain vested in the Partnership and shall be the property of the Partnership, and the title to any real property vested by deed or otherwise in the Corporation shall not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of any provision of the Act, the DGCL or otherwise; but all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of the Corporation shall be preserved unimpaired, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Corporation shall remain attached to the Partnership, and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if said debts, liabilities and duties had originally been incurred or contracted by it in its capacity as a limited partnership. The rights, privileges, powers and interests in property of the Corporation, as well as the debts, liabilities and duties of the Corporation, shall not be deemed, as a consequence of the Conversion, to have been transferred to the Partnership for any purpose of the laws of the State of Delaware or any other state. Exhibit B hereto summarizes all the Portfolio Company holdings of the Partnership as of the Formation Date.

 

2


(c) As of the effective time of the Conversion, (i) the shares of the Corporation previously held by each Limited Partner as a stockholder of the Corporation are, in the aggregate, converted into 99% of the partnership interests of the Partnership, all such 99% partnership interests being Limited Partner interests; (ii) each Person that was a stockholder of the Corporation is hereby admitted as a Limited Partner of the Partnership and shall receive a percentage (based on the shares of common stock held by such stockholder immediately prior to the effective time of the Conversion over the total number of shares of common stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Conversion) of the 99% partnership interest in the Partnership (such percentage, the “LP Percentage”); (iii) the Partnership Percentage of each Limited Partner shall be equal to the percentage of all the partnership interests owned by the Partners; (iv) the Capital Commitment of each Limited Partner shall be an amount equal to $44,550,000 multiplied by its LP Percentage; and (v) the General Partner is hereby admitted as the sole general partner of the Partnership with the associated Capital Commitment and Partnership Percentage set forth opposite the General Partner’s name on Exhibit A hereto. At the effective time of the Conversion, Exhibit A hereto shall reflect the name, address, Capital Commitment and Partnership Percentage of each Limited Partner calculated in accordance with this paragraph 1.5(c).

(d) For all tax purposes (but solely for tax purposes) the Conversion shall be treated as a liquidation of the Corporation in which the Corporation distributes all of its assets and liabilities to its stockholders in complete liquidation, and immediately thereafter, the stockholders contribute all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership.

ARTICLE 2

TERM OF PARTNERSHIP

2.1 Term. The term of the Partnership shall continue until the eighth anniversary of the Formation Date, unless extended pursuant to paragraph 10.1 or sooner dissolved as provided in paragraph 10.2 below.

2.2 Events Affecting a Manager of the General Partner. Except as specifically provided in paragraph 10.2, the death, bankruptcy, withdrawal, insanity, incompetency, temporary or permanent incapacity, expulsion or removal of any member of the General Partner shall not, in and of itself, dissolve the Partnership.

2.3 Events Affecting a Limited Partner of the Partnership. Except as specifically provided in paragraph 10.2, the death, temporary or permanent incapacity, insanity, incompetency, bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, merger, sale of all or substantially all the stock or assets of, or other change in the ownership or nature of a Limited Partner shall not, in and of itself, dissolve the Partnership.

2.4 Events Affecting the General Partner. The bankruptcy, reorganization, merger, sale of all or substantially all the interests or assets of, or other change in the ownership or nature of the General Partner shall not constitute an “event of withdrawal” of the General Partner under the Act, except as specifically provided in paragraph 10.2, and upon the happening of any such event, the business and affairs of the Partnership shall be continued without dissolution by the General Partner or any successor to the General Partner.

ARTICLE 3

NAME AND ADMISSION OF PARTNERS

3.1 Name and Address. The name and address of the General Partner and each Limited Partner (hereinafter the General Partner and the Limited Partners may be referred to collectively as the “Partners” and individually as a “Partner”), the amount of such Partner’s Capital Commitment to the Partnership, and such Partner’s Partnership Percentage are set forth on Exhibit A hereto. The General Partner shall cause Exhibit A to be amended from time to time to reflect the admission of any new Partner, the withdrawal or substitution of any Partner, the transfer of interests among such Partners, receipt by the Partnership of notice of any change of address of any such Partner, or the change in any such Partner’s Capital Commitment or Partnership Percentage. An amended Exhibit A shall supersede any prior Exhibit A and become a part of this Agreement. A copy of the most recent amended Exhibit A shall be kept on file at the principal office of the Partnership.

3.2 Admission of Additional Partners; Capital Commitment Increases.

(a) Except as provided in paragraphs 3.2(b), 4.4(b) and 9.6, an additional person may be admitted as a Partner only with the consent of the General Partner. Such additional Partner’s admission as a Partner shall be effective upon execution and delivery to the General Partner of a Subscription Agreement, a counterpart signature page to this Agreement and any other materials that the General Partner deems appropriate.

(b) The Partnership is hereby authorized to, and shall, issue Limited Partner interests in the Partnership upon the exercise of a Medici Option. Notwithstanding paragraph 3.2(a) hereof or any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the effective time of the Conversion, any Person exercises a Medici Option, (i) the Partnership shall issue to such Person Limited Partner interests of the Partnership with a Partnership Percentage equal to the Partnership Percentage that would have resulted had such holder exercised such option immediately prior to the Conversion and the shares of the Corporation issued upon such exercise converted to a Limited Partner interest in accordance with paragraph 1.5(c), (ii) such Person shall be admitted as a Limited Partner of the Partnership upon its payment of the exercise price of the Medici Option, the execution of a counterpart signature page agreeing to be bound by this Agreement and the execution and delivery to the General Partner of a Subscription Agreement, (iii) the Partnership Percentage and LP Percentage of each other Limited Partner will be reduced pro rata to give effect to clause (i) hereof; (iv) the Capital Commitment of each such additional Limited Partner shall be an amount equal to $44,550,000 (which amount shall be increased, in the event of any increase in the Partnership’s Committed Capital pursuant to paragraph 3.2(c), by 99% of such increase) multiplied by its LP Percentage and (v) the Capital Commitment of each other Limited Partner shall be re-calculated as the product of $44,550,000 (which amount shall be increased, in the event of any increase in the Partnership’s Committed Capital pursuant to paragraph 3.2(c), by 99% of such increase) multiplied by its LP Percentage, as reduced pursuant to clause (iii) above. In connection with the admission of an additional Limited Partner following the exercise of a Medici

 

4


Option, such additional Limited Partner shall contribute an amount of its Capital Commitment equal to the amount of its additional Limited Partner’s Capital Commitment it would have contributed if it had been a Limited Partner since the Conversion. In accordance with paragraph 3.1, following the exercise of a Medici Option, the General Partner shall cause Exhibit A to be amended from time to time to reflect the admission of the holder of the Medici Option as a Limited Partner and the adjustment of the Limited Partner Capital Commitments (as reduced pursuant to clause (v)) and Partnership Percentages of all Partners in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(c) If the General Partner determines that the Partnership’s original Committed Capital of $45,000,000 will be insufficient to satisfy the needs of the Portfolio Companies for follow-on funding, the General Partner shall notify the Limited Partners of such circumstance and shall provide the Limited Partners the option to increase the Partnership’s Committed Capital by an amount up to $30,000,000 in aggregate, in which event the Capital Commitments of all Partners shall be proportionately increased based on their existing Capital Commitment amounts.

ARTICLE 4

CAPITAL ACCOUNTS, CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

AND NONCONTRIBUTING PARTNERS

4.1 Capital Accounts. An individual Capital Account shall be maintained for each Partner.

4.2 Capital Contributions of the Limited Partners.

(a) Each Limited Partner’s Capital Commitment shall be contributed in one or more cash installments as specified by the General Partner upon ten (10) business days’ prior written notice, provided that such installments shall be in accordance with Partnership Percentages provided, further, that Overstock shall be credited against the second installment (or the first if only one installment) any amount of Cash (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) remaining in the Partnership at the time of Conversion.

(b) The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, return to the Partners all or a portion of any capital contribution intended for a proposed investment which is not consummated as anticipated pro rata in accordance with their respective capital contributions so long as the General Partner returns such capital contribution (or portion thereof) to the Partners within sixty (60) days after its receipt by the General Partner or the Partnership; provided that, to the extent any such amount so distributed is identified in a notice to the Partners as subject to recall, such returned capital shall be added back to unfunded Capital Commitments and be subject to recall by the General Partner pursuant to this Article 4.

(c) (i) If, in the discretion of the General Partner, Partnership assets are insufficient to fulfill incurred or reasonably anticipated obligations or liabilities of the Partnership (including, but not limited to, fees, costs and expenses related to litigation or threatened litigation involving the Partnership or its Portfolio Companies (including the sale of Portfolio Company securities) and/or the amounts that the Partnership expects that it will be required to pay in respect of claims associated with prior Portfolio Company dispositions (including, without limitation,

 

5


amounts associated with the terms of any purchase and sale agreement relating to the acquisition of any Portfolio Company securities) and/or to fulfill an indemnity obligation of the Partnership) (collectively, the “Partnership’s Capital Needs”), prior to the termination of the Partnership the General Partner may require each Partner to contribute capital to the Partnership in an amount up to such Partner’s unfunded Capital Commitment, if any.

(ii) If, in the discretion of the General Partner, Partnership assets remain insufficient to satisfy the Partnership’s Capital Needs following the contribution to the Partnership of the maximum amount permitted by paragraph 4.2(c)(i), the General Partner may recall distributions previously made to the Partners solely for the purpose of fulfilling or satisfying such obligations, liabilities or needs. Distributions shall be recalled under this paragraph 4.2(c)(ii) from all Partners in proportion to their respective Partnership Percentages. In no event shall any Partner be required to return distributions pursuant to this paragraph 4.2(c)(ii) in an amount in excess of the lesser of (A) fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate amount of distributions previously received by such Partner from the Partnership (excluding any amounts distributed prior to the Formation Date) or (B) twenty percent (20%) of such Partner’s Capital Commitment. In no event will the General Partner be permitted to require the return of any distribution pursuant to this paragraph 4.2(c)(ii) after the earlier of (i) three (3) years after the date such distribution was made, or (ii) two (2) years after the end of the Partnership’s term.

4.3 Capital Contributions of the General Partner. The General Partner shall contribute capital to the Partnership in an amount equal to its Partnership Percentage of the amount contributed by all Partners on each date on which any Limited Partner makes a contribution other than contributions made upon exercise of the Medici Options; provided, that to account for the fact that the General Partner shall not bear any management fee with respect its Capital Commitment, if and to the extent that any contribution by the Limited Partners that is expected to be used by the Partnership to fund a management fee payable pursuant to paragraph 6.1, the General Partner shall be deemed solely for purposes of this paragraph 4.3 (without being required to actually fund) to have contributed an amount corresponding to the amounts that the Limited Partners contribute for purposes of funding such management fee payment.

4.4 Noncontributing Partners.

(a) The Partnership shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of each Limited Partner to make the contributions to capital (including any obligations to return distributions) set forth in this Agreement, and the Partnership shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event any such contribution is not so made. If any legal proceedings relating to the failure of a Limited Partner to make such a contribution are commenced, such Limited Partner shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in connection with such proceedings.

(b) Additionally, without in any way limiting any remedy which the Partnership may pursue pursuant to paragraph 4.4(a), should any Limited Partner fail to make any of the capital contributions or fulfill any of the distribution-return obligations required of it under this Agreement and such failure shall have continued uncured for ten (10) or more business days after delivery of written notice by the General Partner to such Limited Partner, such Limited Partner shall be in default (a “Defaulting Limited Partner”). In the event of such default, the General Partner may,

 

6


in carrying out what it determines to be in the best interests of the nondefaulting Limited Partners, elect to enforce one or more of the provisions of this paragraph 4.4(b) in connection with such a default, to which each Limited Partner hereby expressly consents. The General Partner shall deliver written notice to such Defaulting Limited Partner if it determines to utilize one or more of the powers set forth in paragraph 4.4(a) or this paragraph 4.4(b) (a “Default Notice”). Upon delivery of the Default Notice, the Defaulting Limited Partner shall not be permitted to participate in any vote or consent of the Partners required under this Agreement or permitted under the Act (and the Capital Commitment of such Defaulting Limited Partner shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating a Majority in Interest or other Percentage in Interest of the Limited Partners for purposes of this Agreement), and the Defaulting Limited Partner may not make any additional contributions of capital against such Defaulting Limited Partner’s Capital Commitment (other than to fund management fees and other expenses of the Partnership) without the written consent of the General Partner, which consent may be granted or denied in the sole discretion of the General Partner.

(i) The General Partner may waive, without the consent of any other Partner, in whole or in part, the requirement of payment with respect to any due and unpaid capital contributions by a Defaulting Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement and reduce such Defaulting Limited Partner’s Capital Commitment accordingly.

(ii) The General Partner may extend the time of payment for a Defaulting Limited Partner of any due and unpaid capital contributions by such Defaulting Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement.

(iii) The General Partner may declare the entire amount of a Defaulting Limited Partner’s then unfunded Capital Commitment to be immediately due and payable.

(iv) On behalf of the Partnership, the General Partner may enforce, by appropriate legal proceedings, the Defaulting Limited Partner’s obligation to make payment on the amount of any due and unpaid capital contributions by such Defaulting Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement or to pay the entire amount of such Defaulting Limited Partner’s then unfunded Capital Commitment.

(v) Should the General Partner, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the provisions of this paragraph 4.4(b)(v), such Defaulting Limited Partner shall pay all expenses to be incurred or anticipated to be incurred by the Partnership in connection with the default and the interest on the amount of the contribution to the Partnership then due at the Prime Rate as of the date the contribution to the Partnership was required to be made pursuant to this Agreement plus two hundred (200) basis points per annum (or if less, the highest rate permitted by applicable law), such interest to accrue from the date the contribution to the Partnership was required to be made pursuant to this Agreement until the date the contribution is made by such Defaulting Limited Partner, unless such payment is waived by the General Partner (which waiver may be made without the consent of any other Partner). The accrued interest shall be paid by the Defaulting Limited Partner to the Partnership upon payment of such contribution. The accrued interest so paid shall not be treated as an additional contribution to the capital of the Partnership, but shall be deemed to be income to the Partnership; provided that such income shall not be allocated to the Capital Account of the Defaulting Limited Partner. Until such time as the unpaid

 

7


contribution and accrued interest thereon shall have been paid by the Defaulting Limited Partner, the General Partner may elect to withhold any or all distributions to be made to such Defaulting Limited Partner pursuant to Article 7 or Article 10 and recover any such unpaid contribution and accrued interest thereon by set off against any such distribution withheld.

(vi) Should the General Partner, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the provisions of this paragraph 4.4(b)(vi), the General Partner and the nondefaulting Limited Partners (the “Optionees”), shall have the right and the option, but not the obligation, to acquire the Partnership interest of the Defaulting Limited Partner (the “Optionor”), as follows:

(1) The General Partner shall notify the Optionees of the default within twenty (20) days after it gives the Default Notice to the Defaulting Limited Partner. Such notice shall advise each Optionee of the portion and the price of the Optionor’s interest available to it. Each Optionee shall be offered a pro rata portion (in accordance with capital contributions to the Partnership) of the available Optionor’s interest. The aggregate price for the Optionor’s interest shall be the lesser of fifty percent (50%) of (A) the amount of the Optionor’s Capital Account calculated as of the due date of the additional contribution and adjusted to reflect the allocation of the appropriate proportion of the Partnership’s unrealized gains and losses as of the due date of such defaulted contribution, and (B) the aggregate amount of the Optionor’s capital contributions actually made less any distributions (valued at their fair market value on the date of distribution in accordance with paragraph 12.1) on or prior to such due date. The price for each Optionee shall be prorated according to the portion of the Optionor’s interest purchased by each such Optionee. The option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at any time within thirty (30) days following the date that the General Partner notifies the Optionees of the default by delivery to the General Partner of a notice of exercise of option together with a nonrecourse promissory note for the purchase price and a security agreement in accordance with subparagraph (5) below, which notice and documents the General Partner shall promptly forward to the Optionor.

(2) Should any Optionee not exercise its option within said thirty (30) day period provided in subparagraph (1) above, the General Partner shall immediately notify the other Optionees who have elected to exercise their option, which Optionees shall have the right and option ratably among them to acquire the portion of the Optionor’s interest not so acquired (the “Remaining Portion”) within thirty (30) days of the date of the notice specified in this subparagraph (2) on the same terms as provided in subparagraph (1) above.

(3) Any amount of the Remaining Portion not acquired by the Optionees pursuant to subparagraph (2) above may be acquired by the General Partner within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the thirty (30) day period specified in subparagraph (2) above on the same terms as set forth in subparagraph (1) above.

(4) Any amount of the Remaining Portion not acquired by the Optionees and the General Partner pursuant to subparagraphs (2) or (3) above may, if the General Partner deems it in the best interest of the Partnership, be sold by the General Partner to any other investor, on terms not more favorable to such other investor than those applicable to the Optionees’ option, and upon the consent of the General Partner, any such third party purchaser may become a Limited Partner to the extent of the interest purchased hereunder.

 

8


(5) The price due from each of the General Partner and the Optionees (and, if applicable, any third party purchaser pursuant to subparagraph (4) above) shall be payable by a noninterest bearing, nonrecourse promissory note (in such form as the General Partner shall designate) due upon final liquidation of the Partnership. Each such note shall be secured by the portion of the Optionor’s Partnership interest so purchased by its maker pursuant to a security agreement in a form designated by the General Partner and shall be enforceable by the Optionor only against such security.

(6) Upon exercise of any option hereunder, each Optionee and the General Partner (and, if applicable, any third party purchaser pursuant to subparagraph (4) above) shall be obligated (A) to contribute to the Partnership that portion of the additional capital then due from the Optionor equal to the percentage of the Optionor’s interest purchased by such person and (B) to pay the same percentage of any further contributions otherwise due from such Optionor on the date such contributions are otherwise due. Each person who purchases a portion of the Optionor’s Partnership interest shall be deemed to have acquired such portion as of the due date of the additional capital contribution with respect to which the Optionor defaulted, and any distributions made after the due date on account of the Optionor’s interest shall be distributed among such purchasers (and, unless the entire interest was purchased, the Optionor) in accordance with their ultimate respective interests in the Optionor’s interest. Distributions otherwise allocable to the Optionor under the preceding sentence shall first be used to offset any defaulted contribution of the Optionor still due to the Partnership. Upon completion of any transaction hereunder, the General Partner shall cause Exhibit A to be amended to reflect all necessary changes resulting therefrom including, without limitation, admission of a purchaser as a Limited Partner, and adjustment of Capital Account balances, Capital Commitment amounts and Partnership Percentages as of the date of Optionor’s default to reflect the acquisition from Optionor of the appropriate pro rata portion of each such item. The purchase and transfer of the Partnership interest of the Optionor shall occur automatically upon exercise by any Optionee or the General Partner of its option hereunder (or acquisition by a third party purchaser of an interest pursuant to subparagraph (4) above), without any action by Optionor.

(7) Notwithstanding the sale of any portion of an Optionor’s interest pursuant to this paragraph 4.4(b)(vi), such Optionor shall not be released from its unfunded Capital Commitment except as actually funded by the acquirer of any such portion of Optionor’s interest.

(8) In the event that any amount of the Remaining Portion is not acquired by the Optionees, the General Partner and any third party purchasers pursuant to paragraphs 4.4(b)(vi)(1)-(4), then, in its sole discretion, the General Partner may apply any of the remedies described in paragraph 4.4(a) and this subparagraph 4.4(b) to such unsold portion.

(vii) The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, elect to remove such Defaulting Limited Partner from the Partnership, in which such event (1) fifty percent (50%) of the Defaulting Limited Partner’s Capital Account balance shall be forfeited and reallocated to the Capital Accounts of the nondefaulting Partners proportionally, based on, with respect to each such Partner, the ratio that its Partnership Percentage immediately prior to such calculation bears to the aggregate Partnership Percentages of all Partners (other than the Defaulting Limited Partner), (2) the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Defaulting Limited Partner’s Capital Account balance shall be payable to the Defaulting Limited Partner by the Partnership in installments over a period of no more than three (3) years from the effective date of the removal of such Defaulting Limited Partner pursuant to this paragraph 4.4(b)(vii), and (3) the Defaulting Limited Partner’s Partnership Percentage shall be reduced to zero.

 

9


(viii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Limited Partner (1) agrees that it will execute any instruments or perform any other acts that are or may be necessary to effectuate and carry out the transactions contemplated by this paragraph 4.4, and (2) designates and appoints the General Partner its true and lawful attorney, in its name, place and stead to make, execute and sign any and all instruments, documents or certificates on behalf of any Defaulting Limited Partner in order to give effect to any remedy against such Defaulting Limited Partner (including, but not limited to, the remedies set forth in this paragraph 4.4(b)).

(ix) The Partners agree that the General Partner’s authority and discretion to enforce any remedy against a Defaulting Limited Partner (including but not limited to the remedies set forth in this paragraph 4.4(b)) supersede any fiduciary duties of the General Partner to such Defaulting Limited Partner. The Partners further agree that the remedies set forth in this paragraph 4.4(b) are fair and reasonable in light of the difficulty in ascertaining the actual damages that would be incurred by the Partnership and the nondefaulting Partners as a result of the Defaulting Limited Partner’s failure to contribute capital when due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 5

PARTNERSHIP ALLOCATIONS

5.1 Allocation of Profit, Loss and Expenses. Except as hereinafter provided in this Article 5, Profit, Loss and expenses of the Partnership for each Accounting Period shall be allocated to the Partners’ Capital Accounts as follows:

(a) Profits and Losses associated with a given Portfolio Company, along with expenses of the Partnership factored into the determination of Excess Proceeds for such Portfolio Company, for such Accounting Period shall be allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Partners in a manner so that, to the maximum extent possible:

(i) If there are Excess Proceeds for such Portfolio Company, such items shall have been apportioned among the Partners, on a cumulative basis, as follows: (A) to the General Partner, an amount equal to the product of the Applicable Carry Rate for such Portfolio Company (as determined as of the end of such Accounting Period) multiplied by the Excess Proceeds for such Portfolio Company; and (B) to all Partners in proportion to their respective Partnership Percentages, an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess of 100% over the Applicable Carry Rate for such Portfolio Company (as determined as of the end of such Accounting Period) and (y) the Excess Proceeds for such Portfolio Company.

(ii) If there are not Excess Proceeds for such Portfolio Company (i.e., net Profits associated with such Portfolio Company do not exceed the expenses of the Partnership factored into the determination of Excess Proceeds for such Portfolio Company), such items shall have been apportioned among the Partners, on a cumulative basis, in proportion to their respective Partnership Percentages.

 

10


(b) All expenses of the Partnership (including Performance Fee expenses) other than (x) expenses factored into the determination of Excess Proceeds and (y) management fee expenses for such Accounting Period shall be allocated to the Capital Accounts of all of the Partners in proportion to their respective Partnership Percentages.

(c) All management fee expenses of the Partnership for such Accounting Period shall be allocated to the Capital Accounts of all the Limited Partners in proportion to their respective Partnership Percentages during such Accounting Periods.

5.2 Special Allocations. If additional persons are admitted to the Partnership as Limited Partners subsequent to the date of its formation, then organizational costs, fees (including the management fee), and expenses of the Partnership that are allocated to the Partners on or after the effective date of such admission shall be allocated first to such new Limited Partners to the extent necessary to cause such persons to be treated with respect to organizational costs as if they had been Partners from the commencement of the Partnership’s term.

5.3 Regulatory Allocations.

(a) This Agreement is intended to comply with the safe harbor provisions set forth in Treasury Regulation 1.704-1(b) and the allocations set forth in paragraph 5.3(b) below (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b). In the event the Regulatory Allocations result in allocations being made that are inconsistent with the manner in which the Partners intend to divide Partnership Profit and Loss as reflected in paragraphs 5.1 and 5.2, the General Partner shall use its best efforts to adjust subsequent allocations of any items of profit, gain, loss, income or expense such that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and such subsequent special adjustments to each such Partner is zero.

(b) The allocations provided in this Article 5 shall be subject to the following exceptions:

(i) Any loss or expense otherwise allocable to a Limited Partner which exceeds the positive balance in such Limited Partner’s Capital Account shall instead be allocated first to all Partners who have positive balances in their Capital Accounts in proportion to their respective Partnership Percentages, and when the Capital Accounts of all Partners have been reduced to zero, then to the General Partner.

(ii) In the event any Limited Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4) through (d)(6), which causes or increases a deficit balance in such Limited Partner’s Capital Account, items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Limited Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the deficit balance in its Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations, or distributions as quickly as possible.

 

11


(iii) For purposes of this paragraph 5.3(b), the balance in a Partner’s Capital Account shall consider the adjustments provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4) through (d)(6).

5.4 Income Tax Allocations.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph or as otherwise required by the Code and the rules and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, a Partner’s distributive share of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit for income tax purposes shall be the same as is entered in the Partner’s Capital Account pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any asset contributed or deemed contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Adjusted Asset Value.

(c) In the event the Adjusted Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Adjusted Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

ARTICLE 6

6.1 Management Fee. During the term of the Partnership, the Partnership shall pay to an entity or entities designated by the General Partner and controlled by the managers of the General Partner (“Management Company”) an annual management fee in the amount $2,500,000 per year over the first eight years of the term of the Partnership.

(b) Each Performance Fee payment shall be due within thirty (30) days of the disposition giving rise to such Performance Fee.

Further, the General Partner shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to make good faith estimates of amounts expected to be distributable pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect to a given calendar year and distribute such estimated amounts to the Partners as advances within a reasonable period of time following every calendar quarter.

In addition, the General Partner shall receive a one-time tax distribution in an amount equal to 45% of the fair market value of the initial grant of the 1% interest in the Partnership to the General Partner, which distribution shall be for the avoidance of doubt be treated as an advance of, and shall count against, distributions that would otherwise be made pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 7.5 below.

(b) A Limited Partner shall be deemed to be a Foreign Person Limited Partner for purposes of this Agreement (i) upon any determination by the General Partner that such Limited Partner is a Foreign Person Limited Partner hereunder, or (ii) if such Limited Partner is a Foreign Person under the DPA. Each Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that (A) it has accurately responded to the questions in the section labeled “CFIUS Foreign Person Status Representations” in its Subscription Agreement and Investor Questionnaire (the “Subscription Agreement”) and (B) it will promptly provide notice of any changes to its status that would alter the responses provided in its Subscription Agreement. Each non-Foreign Person Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that it shall not accept any investment or engage in any activity that would cause it to become a Foreign Person without providing advance written notice to the General Partner. Whether or not such notice is provided, any non-Foreign Person Limited Partner that becomes a Foreign Person acknowledges and agrees that upon such change in status it will immediately become a Foreign Person Limited Partner subject to the restrictions in this paragraph 8.7.

 

20


(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and except as the General Partner shall, in its sole discretion, otherwise determine, each Foreign Person Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that neither it nor any of its CFIUS Affiliates shall:

(i) have the authority to approve, disapprove, or otherwise control any decision of the General Partner, including any decision of the Partnership to engage in a Portfolio Investment;

(ii) have the authority to unilaterally dismiss, prevent the dismissal of, select, or determine the compensation of the General Partner;

(iii) communicate with the Partnership, any Portfolio Investment or the management thereof regarding the day-to-day operations of its business;

(iv) become actively involved, directly or indirectly, in the management or operation of the Partnership or any Portfolio Investment;

(v) serve as an employee of, or contractor to, the Partnership or any Portfolio Investment;

(vi) obtain or seek to obtain access to Material Nonpublic Technical Information of the Partnership or any Portfolio Investment;

(vii) obtain or seek to obtain membership or observer rights on the board of directors or equivalent governing body of any Portfolio Investment;

(viii) become involved with or engage in any substantive decision-making of the Partnership or any Portfolio Investment regarding U.S. critical infrastructure, critical technologies, or sensitive personal data as defined under the DPA and the CFIUS Regulations;

(ix) become involved with or engage in the purchase, lease, or concession of U.S. real estate by the Partnership or any Portfolio Investment;

(x) without written notice to the General Partner independently invest in any Portfolio Investment; or

(xi) without the written consent of the General Partner, maintain any other relationship to the Partnership or any Portfolio Investment, including service as a director, officer, or in another management or decision-making role, other than (A) the relationship with the Partnership permitted under this Agreement and (B) ordinary course, independent commercial relationships with Portfolio Investments.

(d) Each Limited Partner agrees that it shall notify the General Partner within fifteen (15) days of the date upon which it becomes aware that any foreign government holds a Substantial Interest in it or its CFIUS Affiliates.

 

21


(e) Each Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that it shall provide the information requested by the General Partner from time to time in order for the General Partner to make determinations regarding this paragraph 8.7 and the DPA. Each Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that such information may include such Limited Partner’s (and its CFIUS Affiliates’) holdings, investments, and relationships. Each Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that it shall cooperate with the General Partner with respect to any reporting and disclosure requirements imposed upon the Partnership under the DPA or by CFIUS, and shall cooperate with the General Partner to use reasonable best efforts to provide relevant information requested by CFIUS or other U.S. government authorities on behalf of and on matters related to CFIUS.

(f) The Partners acknowledge and agree that the General Partner may determine that it is in the best interests of the Partnership or any of the Partners to allocate profits and/or losses from a particular Portfolio Investment away from a Foreign Person Limited Partner, or to otherwise isolate any Foreign Person Limited Partner from one or more Portfolio Investments, in each case in order to reduce the likelihood of the Partnership entering into or having been deemed to have entered into a Covered Transaction. In the event of such determination, the General Partner is hereby authorized to take all such actions as may be necessary to effect the foregoing.

(g) Each Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that it shall cooperate with the Partnership in any such action as the General Partner deems necessary in the General Partner’s sole discretion to address ongoing legal or regulatory issues affecting the Partnership’s investment activities or otherwise, including but not limited to those that may be imposed by the DPA and CFIUS Regulations.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the General Partner shall be authorized without the consent of any person, including any Partner, to take such action as it determines in its sole discretion to be necessary or advisable to address ongoing legal or regulatory issues affecting the Partnership’s investment activities or otherwise, including but not limited to those that may be imposed by the DPA and CFIUS Regulations.

(i) Each Foreign Person Limited Partner shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify and hold the Partnership and each Indemnified Party harmless from and against any loss, claim, demand, cost, expense of any nature, judgment, penalty, settlement, compromise, damage, injury suffered or sustained, or any other amount, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, liquid or illiquid, suffered by the Partnership or any such Indemnified Party arising, directly or indirectly, from such Foreign Person Limited Partner’s breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Foreign Person Limited Partners, or to any inaccuracy in its response to the questions in the section labeled “CFIUS Foreign Person Status Representations” in its Subscription Agreement. The General Partner shall be held harmless for any of its acts and omissions in connection with the enforcement of the provisions of this paragraph 8.7, and neither the Partnership nor any Indemnified Party shall be liable to the Foreign Person Limited Partner or to any other Partner in connection with: (i) any determination of Foreign Person status; or (ii) any other matter related to the DPA or CFIUS Regulations.

 

22


8.8 Subscription Facilities.

(a) Subject to paragraph 8.5(c), the General Partner shall be authorized to incur indebtedness (both prior to and after the initial Capital Commitment) under such terms as it may elect. In connection therewith, the General Partner shall be authorized to pledge, charge, mortgage, assign, transfer and grant security interests to a lender in (i) all Capital Commitments of the Limited Partners, the General Partner’s right to initiate capital calls (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any requests to return distributions pursuant to paragraph 4.2(c)(ii)) and collect such capital contributions of the Limited Partners and to enforce their obligations to make such capital contributions to the Partnership, (ii) the Limited Partners’ Subscription Agreements with the Partnership and the Limited Partners’ obligations to make capital contributions thereunder and (iii) a Partnership collateral account into which capital contributions by the Limited Partners of their uncalled Capital Commitments may be made; provided that any such pledge, charge, mortgage, assignment, transfer or grant of security interests on behalf of the Partnership shall provide security solely for the obligations of the Partnership and not for those of any other affiliated investment funds (any such financing in which any such security is granted, a “Subscription Facility”; any lender under a Subscription Facility, a “Secured Lender”).

(b) Each Limited Partner understands, acknowledges and agrees, in connection with any Subscription Facility, that: (i) it shall remain absolutely and unconditionally obligated to fund capital contributions duly called by the General Partner or by the applicable Secured Lender under a Subscription Facility (including, without limitation, those required as a result of the failure of any other Limited Partner to advance funds with respect to a call for a capital contribution), without, to the fullest extent permitted by law, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation any defense of fraud or mistake, or any defense under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, including Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 365, subject in all cases to the Limited Partners’ rights to assert such claims against the Partnership, the General Partner or any other Partner in one or more separate actions; provided that any such claims shall be subordinate to all payments due to the applicable Secured Lender under a Subscription Facility; (ii) its Subscription Agreement with the Partnership and this Agreement constitute such Limited Partner’s legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against such Limited Partner in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity; and (iii) the applicable Secured Lender under the Subscription Facility shall be extending credit to the Partnership in reliance on such Limited Partner’s funding of its capital contributions as such lender’s primary source of repayment.

(c) Any Secured Lender shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this paragraph 8.8 as an intended third-party beneficiary of the terms hereof.

ARTICLE 9

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION AND TRANSFER

OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

9.1 Investment Representation of the Limited Partners. This Agreement is made with each of the Limited Partners in reliance upon each Limited Partner’s representation to the Partnership, which by executing this Agreement each Limited Partner hereby confirms, that its interest in the Partnership is to be acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and that it has no present intention of selling, granting participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, and each Limited Partner understands that its interest in the Partnership has not been registered under the Securities Act and that any transfer or other disposition of the interest may not be made without registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an applicable exemption therefrom. Each Limited Partner further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement, or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer, or grant participations to such person, or to any third person, with respect to its interest in the Partnership.

9.2 Qualifications of the Limited Partners. Each Limited Partner represents that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of that term as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

9.3 Transfer by General Partner. Except as provided in paragraph 9.7 below, the General Partner may not voluntarily withdraw from the Partnership. Further, the General Partner shall not sell, assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise dispose of its interest in the Partnership or in its capital assets or property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the General Partner make any transfer of an interest in the Partnership that would result in any of the events specified in subparagraphs 9.5(a) through 9.5(j).

9.4 Transfer by Limited Partner.

(a) No Limited Partner shall, directly or indirectly, sell, assign, pledge, mortgage, or otherwise dispose of or transfer (including by way of a synthetic transfer, total return swap or structured transaction designed to provide another party with economic exposure to the Partnership’s investments) its interest in the Partnership without the prior written consent of the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after delivery of the opinion of counsel hereinafter required by this Article 9 (or the waiver by the General Partner of such opinion requirement), a Limited Partner may sell, assign, pledge, mortgage, or otherwise dispose of or transfer its interest in the Partnership without such consent (i) to any creditworthy entity directly or indirectly holding eighty percent (80%) or more of the ownership interests of the Limited Partner (including profits or other economic interests) (a “Parent Entity”) or any entity of which eighty percent (80%) or more of the beneficial ownership (including profits or other economic interests) are held directly or indirectly by such Parent Entity, or any entity of which the Limited Partner holds, directly or indirectly, eighty percent (80%) or more of the beneficial ownership (including profits or other economic interests); (ii) pursuant to a merger, consolidation, business combination, plan of reorganization, sale or pledge of, or other general encumbrance on all or substantially all of the Limited Partner’s assets; (iii) as may be required by any law or regulation; (iv) by testamentary disposition or intestate succession, or (v) to a creditworthy trust, profit sharing plan or other entity controlled by, or for the benefit of, such Limited Partner or one or more family members. A change in any trustee or fiduciary of a Limited Partner shall not be considered to be a transfer, sale, assignment, mortgage, pledge or other disposition under this paragraph 9.4, provided written notice of such change is given to the General Partner within a reasonable period of time after the effective date thereof. The General Partner reserves the right to require any transferring or transferee Partner to bear any expenses associated with a proposed transfer (whether or not ultimately consummated) and any tax reporting and preparation costs resulting from such Partner’s transfer (including, without limitation, expenses related to effecting adjustments to the basis of Partnership property required as a result of such transfer).

 

24


(b) Each Limited Partner hereby agrees and covenants that it shall not make an election under Section 732(d) of the Code with respect to property distributed to it by the Partnership without the prior written consent of the General Partner. The General Partner may, but shall not be obligated to, cause the Partnership to make an election under Section 754 of the Code or an election to be treated as an “electing investment partnership” within the meaning of Section 743(e) of the Code. If the Partnership elects to be treated as an electing investment partnership, each Limited Partner shall (i) cooperate with the Partnership to maintain such status, (ii) not take any action that would be inconsistent with such election, (iii) provide the General Partner with any information necessary to allow the Partnership to comply with its obligations to make tax basis adjustments under Sections 734 or 743 of the Code and its tax reporting and other obligations as an electing investment partnership, and (iv) provide the General Partner and such Limited Partner’s transferee, promptly upon request, with the information required under Section 6031(b) of the Code or otherwise to be furnished to the Partnership or such transferee, including such information as is necessary to enable the Partnership and such transferee to compute the amount of losses disallowed under Section 743(e) of the Code. Whether or not the Partnership makes such election, promptly upon request, each Limited Partner shall provide the General Partner with any information related to such Partner necessary to allow the Partnership to comply with its obligations to make tax basis adjustments under Sections 734 or 743 of the Code. If the transfer of a Limited Partner interest results in an adjustment to the basis of Partnership property, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, require the transferring Limited Partner or the transferee Limited Partner, or both, to promptly reimburse the Partnership and/or the General Partner upon request for any expenses (including, without limitation, accounting fees) reasonably incurred by the Partnership and/or the General Partner (and their respective Affiliates) related to effecting adjustments to the basis of Partnership property and any additional tax reporting or preparation costs resulting from such transfer.

9.5 Requirements for Transfer. No transfer or other disposition of the interest of a Limited Partner shall be permitted until the General Partner shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it (or waived such requirement) that the effect of such transfer or disposition would not:

(a) result in the Partnership’s assets being considered, in the opinion of counsel for the Partnership, as “plan assets” within the meaning of ERISA, or any regulations proposed or promulgated thereunder;

(b) result in violation of the Securities Act or any comparable state law;

(c) require the Partnership to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended from time to time;

(d) require the Partnership, the General Partner, the Management Company or any member of the General Partner or the Management Company to register as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended;

 

25


(e) result in a termination of the Partnership’s status as a partnership for tax purposes;

(f) result in a violation of any law, rule, or regulation by the Limited Partner, the Partnership, the General Partner, or any member of the General Partner;

(g) cause the Partnership to be deemed to be a “publicly traded partnership” as such term is defined in Section 7704(b) of the Code; or

(h) cause the Partnership, the General Partner, or any Affiliate of the General Partner to be required to register under and/or comply with the provisions of the European Union Directive 2011/61/EU on Alternative Investment Fund Managers;

(i) result in a withholding tax obligation imposed on the General Partner or the Partnership under Section 1446(f) of the Code; or

(j) result in a violation of this Agreement.

Such legal opinion shall be provided to the General Partner by the transferring Limited Partner or the proposed transferee. For the avoidance of doubt, a legal opinion provided by the Limited Partner’s internal or in-house counsel, to the extent such counsel is reasonably experienced with the subject matter of such opinion, shall be acceptable to satisfy this paragraph 9.5. Upon request the General Partner will use its good faith diligent efforts to provide any information possessed by the Partnership and reasonably requested by a transferring Limited Partner to enable it to render the foregoing opinion. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article 9 to the contrary, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, waive the requirement of an opinion of counsel provided for in this paragraph 9.5. In the case of a transfer or other disposition of an interest by Overstock, the General Partner shall not require delivery of a legal opinion if Overstock provides sufficient representations with respect to such transfer or disposition to confirm that none of the consequences described in clauses (a) – (j) above shall arise in connection with such transfer. Any costs associated with the transfer of a Limited Partner’s interest, including the costs associated with any legal opinion required hereunder, shall be borne by the transferring Limited Partner or the proposed transferee.

9.6 Substitution as a Limited Partner. A transferee of a Limited Partner’s interest pursuant to this Article 9 shall become a substituted Limited Partner only with the consent of the General Partner and only if such transferee (a) elects to become a substituted Limited Partner and (b) executes, acknowledges and delivers to the Partnership such other instruments as the General Partner may deem necessary or advisable to effect the admission of such transferee as a substituted Limited Partner, including, without limitation, the written acceptance and adoption by such transferee of the provisions of this Agreement. No assignment by a Limited Partner of its interest in the Partnership shall release the assignor from its liability to the Partnership pursuant to paragraph 4.2 hereof, provided that if the assignee becomes a Limited Partner as provided in this paragraph 9.6, the assignor shall thereupon so be released (in the case of a partial assignment, to the extent of such assignment).

 

26


9.7 Resignation of the General Partner.

(a) In the event of (w) the consent of a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners and the consent of the General Partner, (x) any Trigger Event, (y) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation of Overstock under paragraph 8.6(a) that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Partnership or the General Partner or (z) any material breach of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement made by Overstock in paragraph 8.1(b) that remains uncured for more than thirty (30) days following notice to Overstock by the General Partner, the General Partner may elect to resign as the general partner of the Partnership. The General Partner shall provide to the Limited Partners as much advance notice of any such prospective resignation due to a Trigger Event as is practicable under the circumstances. Following the effectiveness of any such resignation, the resigning General Partner shall not be entitled to any rights or powers of a general partner of the Partnership; provided, however, that the resigning General Partner and any Indemnified Party (as defined in paragraph 13.22 and further addressed in paragraph 14.4(a)) shall remain entitled to exculpation and indemnification pursuant to paragraphs 14.3 and 14.4 hereof with respect to any matter arising prior to or out of events or circumstances existing prior to the General Partner’s resignation (specifically including any circumstances relating to the Trigger Event). The resigning General Partner shall no longer be required to make additional capital contributions pursuant to paragraph 4.3 hereof. The resigning General Partner’s interest shall be converted to that of a non-voting Limited Partner with the same rights to allocations and distributions from the Partnership as in effect to prior to such resignation. The removed General Partner shall not be entitled to receive any payments of management fee pursuant to paragraph 6.1 with respect to any period of time after the date of its resignation. With respect to any Performance Fee payments arising pursuant to paragraph 6.2 after the date of such resignation, the Performance Fee shall be calculated as the Adjusted Performance Fee Percentage of the Excess Proceeds associated with the applicable Portfolio Company. For purposes of the foregoing, the “Adjusted Performance Fee Percentage” shall be equal to the lesser of (x) 30% and (y) the product of 30% multiplied by a fraction (I) the numerator of which is the number of months during the period from the Formation Date to the date of such resignation and (II) the denominator of which is 96.

(b) In the event of the resignation of the General Partner pursuant to paragraph 9.7(a), the Limited Partners, acting by a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners, shall be entitled to appoint a replacement General Partner. In the event of a resignation following a Trigger Event, the General Partner agrees to work in good faith with the Limited Partners to identify a suitable replacement General Partner. Upon appointment of a replacement General Partner, (i) the replacement General Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as the general partner of the Partnership without any further action, approval or vote of any Person, including any other Partner, upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, effective immediately prior to the removal of the replaced General Partner and shall continue the business and other activities of the Partnership without dissolution; (ii) the replacement General Partner shall promptly prepare and file or cause to be filed, with the assistance of the replaced General Partner if and to the extent reasonably requested, an amendment to the Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, and shall promptly prepare and execute an amendment to this Agreement without any further action, approval or vote of any Person, including any other Partner, reflecting the admission of such replacement general partner, and the withdrawal of the replaced General Partner as the general partner of the Partnership; and (iii) for all other purposes of this Agreement, the replacement general partner of the Partnership shall be deemed to be the “General Partner” hereunder.

All cash shall be distributed ratably to the Partners in proportion to their respective positive Capital Account balances, unless such distribution would result in a violation of a law or regulation applicable to a Limited Partner, in which event, upon receipt by the General Partner of notice to such effect, such Limited Partner may designate a different entity to receive the distribution, or designate, subject to the approval of the General Partner, an alternative distribution procedure (provided such alternative distribution procedure does not prejudice any of the other Partners). Any Security that the General Partner or other liquidator is not able to dispose of within the two years following the date of dissolution shall be valued at zero, shall not be distributed to the Partners and may be abandoned (or donated) in such manner as the General Partner or other liquidator determines in its sole discretion.

10.4 Payments in Liquidation. The assets of the Partnership shall be distributed in final liquidation of the Partnership in the following order:

(a) to the non-Partner creditors of the Partnership, in the order of priority established by law, either by payment or by establishment of reserves;

Whether or not the Partnership makes such election, promptly upon request, each Limited Partner shall provide the General Partner with any information related to such Partner necessary to allow the Partnership to comply with (a) its obligations to make tax basis adjustments under Sections 734 or 743 of the Code and (b) any other U.S. federal income tax reporting obligations of the Partnership.

To the extent that, at law or in equity, the General Partner or any of its agents has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating to the Partnership, any Partner or any other person, the General Partner or such agent acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Partnership, any Partner or any other person for breach of fiduciary duty for its reasonable reliance on the provisions of this Agreement, and the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto of the General Partner or such agent otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by each Partner and the Partnership to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnified Party.

14.4 Indemnification.

(a) The Partnership agrees to indemnify, out of the assets of the Partnership only, the Indemnified Parties to the fullest extent permitted by law and to save and hold them harmless from and in respect of (a) all reasonable fees, costs, and expenses, including legal fees, paid in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, or demand against any of the Indemnified Parties that arise out of or in any way relate to (i) the Partnership, its properties, business, or affairs (expressly excluding claims, actions or demands relating to or arising out of any Trigger Event or solely among the General Partner, the Management Company and their respective managers, equity owners and employees) or (ii) any civil monetary penalties or required disgorgement of Performance or Management Fees that the Management Company is required to pay pursuant to an order from the SEC as a result of a Trigger Event, and (b) such claims, actions, and demands covered by clause (a)(i) and any losses or damages resulting from such claims, actions, and demands covered by clause (a)(i), including amounts paid in settlement or compromise or as a fine (if recommended in writing by attorneys for the Partnership) of any such claim, action or demand; provided, however, that this indemnity shall not extend to conduct not

 

41


undertaken in good faith, to any conduct which constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence, or to any conduct determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrators appointed in accordance with paragraph 14.5 to be a violation of this Agreement that has a material adverse effect on the Partnership (unless such violation has been cured within sixty (60) days of written notice). Expenses incurred by any Indemnified Party in defending a claim or proceeding covered by this paragraph shall be paid by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of such claim or proceeding; provided, the Indemnified Party undertakes to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such person was not entitled to be indemnified. The provisions of this paragraph 14.4 shall remain in effect as to each Indemnified Party whether or not such Indemnified Party continues to serve in the capacity that entitled such person to be indemnified.

(b) Solely for purposes of clarification, and without expanding the scope of indemnification pursuant to this paragraph 14.4, the Partners intend that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, as between (i) portfolio companies of the Partnership, (ii) the Partnership and (iii) the General Partner and/or its Affiliates, this paragraph 14.4 shall be interpreted to reflect an ordering of liability for potentially overlapping or duplicative indemnification payments, with any applicable portfolio company having primary liability, the Partnership having only secondary liability, and (if applicable) the General Partner and/or its Affiliates having only tertiary and subsequent liability. The possibility that an Indemnified Party may receive indemnification payments from a portfolio company shall not restrict the Partnership from making payments under this paragraph 14.4 to an Indemnified Party that is otherwise eligible for such payments, but such payments by the Partnership are not intended to relieve any portfolio company from any liability that it would otherwise have to make indemnification payments to such Indemnified Party and, if an Indemnified Party that has received payments from the Partnership pursuant to this paragraph 14.4 actually receives duplicative indemnification payments from a portfolio company for the same fees, costs and expenses, such Indemnified Party shall repay the Partnership as soon as practicable to the extent of such duplicative payments. To the extent necessary or appropriate under applicable law in order to effect such intention of the Partners in the case of potentially overlapping or duplicative indemnification payments by the Partnership and a portfolio company, the Partnership shall, to the extent permitted by law, have a right of subrogation against such portfolio company (exercisable at the sole discretion of the General Partner) if the Partnership makes payments to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this paragraph 14.4 with regard to the same fees, costs and expenses for which such Indemnified Party was otherwise eligible for indemnification payments from such portfolio company. As used in this paragraph 14.4, “indemnification” payments made or to be made by a Partnership portfolio company shall be deemed to include (i) advancement of expenses with regard to indemnification obligations, (ii) payments made or to be made by any successor to the indemnification obligations of such portfolio company and (iii) equivalent payments made or to be made by or on behalf of such portfolio company (or such successor) pursuant to an insurance policy or similar arrangement. Indemnification payments (if any) made to an Indemnified Party by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates in respect of reasonable fees, costs and expenses for which (and to the extent) such Indemnified Party is otherwise eligible for payments from the Partnership under this paragraph 14.4 (disregarding any such indemnification payment by the General Partner or its Affiliates) shall not relieve the Partnership from its obligation to such Indemnified Party and/or the General Partner or its Affiliates, as applicable, for such payments (it being the intention in such case that the General Partner or its Affiliates would be reimbursed by such Indemnified Party or directly by the Partnership with payments made by the Partnership under this paragraph 14.4).

14.5 Arbitration.

(a) Any claim, dispute, or controversy of whatever nature arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any action or claim based on tort, contract, or statute (including any claims of breach), or concerning the interpretation, effect, termination, validity, performance and/or breach of this Agreement (“Claim”), shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) before a panel of three (3) arbitrators (“Arbitrators”) selected from and administered by JAMS, Inc. (the “Administrator”) in accordance with its then existing arbitration rules or procedures regarding commercial or business disputes. Each party shall select one arbitrator and the two parties shall then agree on a third arbitrator, who shall be selected from a list provided by the Administrator. The arbitration shall be held in Salt Lake City, Utah.

(b) The Arbitrators shall, within thirty (30) calendar days after the conclusion of the Arbitration hearing, issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The Arbitrators shall be authorized to award compensatory damages, but shall not be authorized (i) to award non-economic damages, such as for emotional distress, pain and suffering or loss of consortium, (ii) to award punitive damages, or (iii) to reform, modify or materially change this Agreement or any other agreements contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that the damage limitations described in parts (i) and (ii) of this sentence will not apply if such damages are statutorily imposed. The Arbitrators also shall be authorized to grant any temporary, preliminary or permanent equitable remedy or relief he or she deems just and equitable and within the scope of this Agreement, including, without limitation, an injunction or order for specific performance.

(c) Each party shall bear its own attorney’s fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the Administrator and the Arbitrators; provided, however, the Arbitrators shall be authorized to determine whether a party is substantially the prevailing party, and if so, to award to that substantially prevailing party reimbursement for its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, travel expenses, etc.), and/or the fees and costs of the Administrator and the Arbitrators. Absent the filing of an application to correct or vacate the arbitration award under Title 10 of the Delaware Code sections 5713 through 5717, each party shall fully perform and satisfy the arbitration award within fifteen (15) days of the service of the award.

(d) By agreeing to this binding arbitration provision, the parties understand that they are waiving certain rights and protections which may otherwise be available if a Claim between the parties were determined by litigation in court, including, without limitation, the right to seek or obtain certain types of damages precluded by this paragraph 14.5, the right to a jury trial, certain rights of appeal, and a right to invoke formal rules of procedure and evidence.

(e) This paragraph 14.5 shall be construed to the maximum extent possible to comply with the laws of the State of Delaware, including, to the extent applicable, the Uniform Arbitration Act (10 Del. C. § 5701 et seq.) (the “Delaware Arbitration Act”). If, nevertheless, it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision or wording of this

 

43


paragraph 14.5 shall be invalid or unenforceable under the Delaware Arbitration Act, to the extent applicable, or other applicable law, such invalidity shall not invalidate all of this paragraph 14.5. In that case, this paragraph 14.5 shall be construed so as to limit any term or provision so as to make it valid or enforceable within the requirements of the Delaware Arbitration Act or other applicable law, and, in the event such term or provision cannot be so limited, this paragraph 14.5 shall be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable provision.

14.6 Execution and Filing of Documents. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile, DocuSign (or other reputable signature service) or by electronic mail in portable document format (PDF) will be effective as delivery of a manually executed signature page of this Agreement.

14.7 Other Instruments and Acts. The Partners agree to execute any other instruments or perform any other acts that are or may be reasonably necessary to effectuate and carry on the partnership created by this Agreement. Upon request, the Limited Partners shall provide the General Partner with any information, reasonably requested by the General Partner, necessary to allow the General Partner and the Partnership to respond to requests by any governmental or regulatory agency for such information or as is required to be obtained by the General Partner and/or the Partnership by applicable law or regulation.

14.8 Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon the transferees, successors, assigns, and legal representatives of the Partners.

14.9 Notices. Any notice or other communication that one Partner desires to give to another Partner shall be in writing, and shall be deemed effectively given (i) upon personal delivery, (ii) five (5) business days after deposit in any United States mail box, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, (iii) upon confirmed transmission by facsimile, (iv) upon confirmed delivery by overnight commercial courier service, or if authorized in advance by the receiving party as noted on the records of the Partnership, upon transmission by e-mail, addressed to the other Partner at the address shown on Exhibit A or at such other address as a Partner may designate by fifteen (15) days’ advance written notice to the other Partners; provided, however, that in the event of delivery or transmission received after business hours on a business day or on a non-business day, such notice shall be effective on the next business day thereafter. In addition to the provisions of paragraph 11.7, the General Partner shall be entitled to transmit to the Limited Partners by e-mail the reports required by paragraphs 11.3, 11.4, and 11.5.

14.10 Power of Attorney. By signing this Agreement, each Limited Partner designates and appoints the General Partner its true and lawful attorney, in its name, place, and stead to make, execute, sign, and file the Certificate of Limited Partnership and any amendment thereto and such other instruments, documents, or certificates that may from time to time be required of the Partnership by the laws of the United States of America, the laws of the state of the Partnership’s formation, or any other state in which the Partnership shall conduct its affairs in order to qualify or otherwise enable the Partnership to conduct its affairs in such jurisdictions. Such attorney is not hereby granted any authority on behalf of the Limited Partners to amend this Agreement except that as attorney for each of the Limited Partners, the General Partner shall have the authority to amend this Agreement and the Certificate of Limited Partnership (and to execute any amendment to the Agreement or the Certificate of Limited Partnership on behalf of itself and as attorney-in-fact for each of the Limited Partners) as may be required to effect:

 

44


(a) Admission of additional Partners pursuant to Article 3;

(b) Additional capital contributions pursuant to Article 4;

(c) Transfers of Limited Partnership interests pursuant to Article 9; or

(d) Extensions of the Partnership term pursuant to Article 10.

This power of attorney granted by each Limited Partner shall expire as to such Partner immediately after the dissolution of the Partnership or the amendment of the Partnership’s Exhibit A to reflect the complete withdrawal of such Partner as a Partner of the Partnership.

14.11 Amendment.

(a) This Agreement may be amended (including in connection with a merger, consolidation, conversion, division or the like of the Partnership) only with the written consent of the General Partner and a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners.

(b) Notwithstanding the above, no amendment of this Agreement may (i) modify any provision requiring the consent of more than a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners without the consent of such higher Percentage in Interest, or (ii) modify the method of making Partnership allocations, modify the method of determining the Partnership Percentage of any Partner, reduce any Partner’s Capital Account, or change the restrictions contained in this subparagraph (b) without the consent of the affected Partner.

(c) The Partnership’s or General Partner’s (or its members’ or employees’) noncompliance with any provision hereof in any single transaction or event may be waived in writing by the same Percentage in Interest of the Limited Partners that would be required to amend such provision pursuant to paragraphs 15.11(a) or (b) above. No waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent event of noncompliance.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 14.11, the General Partner may, without the consent of the other Partners, amend this Agreement to correct typographical errors; provided that the General Partner provides each Limited Partner with copies of any such amendments within a reasonable period of time.

14.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, and the Transaction Agreement, constitute the full, complete, and final agreement of the Partners and supersedes all prior agreements between the Partners with respect to the Partnership. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, including paragraph 14.11, or of any Subscription Agreement, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the General Partner on its own behalf or on behalf of the Partnership, without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other person, may enter into a side letter or similar agreement to or with a Limited Partner which has the effect of establishing rights under, or altering or supplementing the terms of, this Agreement or of any Subscription Agreement. The parties hereto agree that any terms contained in a side letter or similar agreement to or with a Limited Partner shall govern with respect to such Limited Partner notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement or of any Subscription Agreement.

 

45


14.13 Titles; Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and shall not be considered in the interpretation of this Agreement.

14.14 Limited Partner Actions. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Limited Partners pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or Delaware law may be carried out in writing without a meeting of the Partners; provided that notice of such action is given to each such Partner that did not consent within a reasonable time following the action. Upon the written request of a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners, the General Partner shall use its best efforts to commence a meeting of the Partners within thirty (30) days of such request.

14.15 Confidentiality.

(a) This Agreement and all financial statements, tax reports, portfolio valuations, reviews or analyses of potential or actual investments, reports or other materials and all other documents and information concerning the affairs of the Partnership and its investments, including, without limitation, information about the portfolio companies of the Partnership (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), that any Limited Partner may receive or that may be disclosed, distributed or disseminated (whether in writing, orally, electronically or by other means) to any Limited Partner or its representatives, pursuant to or in accordance with this Agreement, or otherwise as a result of its ownership of an interest in the Partnership, constitute proprietary and confidential information about the Partnership, the General Partner and its Affiliates and the Partnership’s portfolio companies (the “Affected Parties”). Each Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that the Affected Parties derive independent economic value from the Confidential Information not being generally known and that the Confidential Information is the subject of reasonable efforts to maintain its secrecy. Each Limited Partner further acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information is a trade secret, the disclosure of which is likely to cause substantial and irreparable competitive harm to the Affected Parties or their respective businesses.

(b) Each Limited Partner agrees to hold all Confidential Information in confidence, and not to disclose any Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of the General Partner. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, each Limited Partner may disclose such Confidential Information: (i) to its officers, directors, trustees, equity owners, wholly-owned subsidiaries, employees and outside experts (including but not limited to its attorneys and accountants) on a “need to know” basis, so long as such persons are bound by the same or a substantially similar duty of confidentiality to the Partnership as such Limited Partner, and so long as such Limited Partner shall remain liable for any breach of this paragraph 14.15 by such persons; (ii) to the extent that such information is required to be disclosed in connection with any civil or criminal proceeding; (iii) to the extent that such information is required to be disclosed by applicable law in connection with any court proceeding or governmental, administrative or regulatory proceeding or filing (including any inspection or examination or any disclosure necessary in connection with a request for information made under a state or federal freedom of information act or similar law), after reasonable prior written notice to the General Partner (except

 

46


where such notice is expressly prohibited by law); (iv) to the extent that such information was received from a third party not subject to confidentiality limitations and such Limited Partner can establish that it rightfully received such information from such party other than as a result of the breach of this paragraph 14.15; (v) to the extent such information was rightfully in such Limited Partner’s possession prior to the Partnership’s conveyance of such information to such Limited Partner, as evidenced by the Limited Partner’s prior written records; (vi) to the extent that the information provided by the Partnership is otherwise available in the public domain in the absence of any improper or unlawful action on the part of such Partner or (vii) in the case of Overstock, (A) in any manner it deems necessary, desirable or appropriate in making disclosures about its business, operations or financial affairs, in preparing, or making disclosures relating to, its financial statements or in otherwise making public disclosures to its securityholders (provided that no such disclosure shall result in any breach of any confidentiality obligation owed by the Partnership to any of the Portfolio Companies) and (B) notwithstanding clause (i) above, to its officers, directors, trustees, equity owners, wholly-owned subsidiaries, employees and outside experts (including but not limited to its attorneys and accountants) on a “need to know” basis, so long as such persons are bound by a commercially reasonable duty of confidentiality to Overstock. Any Limited Partner seeking to make disclosure in reliance on the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii) above, such Limited Partner shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to claim any relevant exception under such laws or obligations which would prevent or limit public disclosure of the Confidential Information and provide the General Partner immediate notice upon the Limited Partner’s receipt of a request for disclosure of any Confidential Information pursuant to such laws or obligations.

(c) Each Limited Partner also agrees that any document constituting or containing, or any other embodiment of, any Confidential Information shall be returned to the Partnership upon the General Partner’s request. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the General Partner may withhold disclosure of any Confidential Information (other than this Agreement or tax reports) to any particular Limited Partner if the General Partner reasonably determines that the disclosure of such Confidential Information to such Limited Partner may result in the general public gaining access to such Confidential Information or that such disclosure is not in the best interests of the Partnership or its Portfolio Companies; provided, however, that to the extent that any information is not delivered to a Limited Partner based on the General Partner’s exercise of its discretion under this sentence, such information shall be made available for review, but not copying, during regular business hours at a location mutually determined by the General Partner and such Limited Partner. In no event shall a Limited Partner be denied access to information deliverable pursuant to paragraph 11.5 of this Agreement.

(d) In addition, with respect to each Limited Partner that is subject to any “freedom of information,” “sunshine” or other law, rule or regulation that imposes upon such Limited Partner an obligation to make information available to the public (a “FOIA Limited Partner”), the Partnership hereby requests confidential treatment of the Confidential Information, and such Limited Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as necessary for such Confidential Information to be exempt from disclosure, to the maximum extent permitted under such law, rule or regulation. Notwithstanding anything contained in this paragraph 14.15 to the contrary, each FOIA Limited Partner may publicly disclose the following: (i) the FOIA Limited Partner’s status as a Limited Partner of the Partnership, (ii) the amount of such FOIA Limited Partner’s Capital Commitment, (iii) the total amount of such FOIA Limited Partner’s

 

47


Capital Commitment that has been drawn down pursuant to capital calls, (iv) the total amount of distributions received by the FOIA Limited Partner from the Partnership, and (v) the FOIA Limited Partner’s net internal rate of return with respect to the Partnership’s performance as prepared by such FOIA Limited Partner (collectively, the “Fund Level Information”). Only with respect to FOIA Limited Partners, for purposes of this paragraph 14.15, Confidential Information shall be deemed not to include Fund Level Information.

(e) In addition, with respect to each Limited Partner that is a “fund of funds” or a similar pooled investment vehicle (but specifically excluding any pension, retirement or similar benefit plan) (a “Pooled Vehicle Partner”), the Pooled Vehicle Partner shall be permitted to make disclosure to its direct equity owners (expressly excluding permission to make disclosure to any indirect or other beneficial owners), that are subject to a written confidentiality agreement or obligation that provides a degree of protection to the Partnership comparable to that provided in this paragraph 14.15 of solely the following Confidential Information: (i) the Pooled Vehicle Partner’s status as a Limited Partner of the Partnership, (ii) the amount of such Pooled Vehicle Partner’s Capital Commitment, (iii) the total amount of such Pooled Vehicle Partner’s Capital Commitment that has been drawn down pursuant to capital calls, (iv) the total amount of distributions received by the Pooled Vehicle Partner from the Partnership, (v) the Pooled Vehicle Partner’s net internal rate of return with respect to the Partnership’s performance as prepared by such Pooled Vehicle Partner, (vi) the net asset value of the Pooled Vehicle Partner’s interest in the Partnership (both cost and market value), (vii) such ratios and performance information calculated by the Pooled Vehicle Partner using the information in clauses (ii) through (vi) above, including the ratio of net asset value plus distributions to contributions (i.e., the “multiple”), (viii) quarterly and annual reports summarizing the status of the Pooled Vehicle Partner’s investment in the Partnership (without disclosure of any information concerning a portfolio company, other than the name of such Portfolio Company, a description of the business of such Portfolio Company and information regarding the industry and geographic location of such Portfolio Company, the Partnership’s cost basis in each such Portfolio Company, the Partnership’s carry value of each investment in such Portfolio Company and, upon liquidity of any such Portfolio Company, the Partnership’s rate of return related to such investment (the “Portfolio Confidential Information”)), and (ix) the name and address of the Partnership and the names of the principals of the General Partner; provided, however, that no Pooled Vehicle Partner may provide Portfolio Confidential Information to an equity owner of such Pooled Vehicle Partner that would be a FOIA Limited Partner of the Partnership if such equity owner of the Pooled Vehicle Partner were a Limited Partner of the Partnership other than the Fund Level Information that the Pooled Vehicle Partner would be able to disclose if it were a FOIA Limited Partner.

(f) Each Limited Partner agrees to notify such Limited Partner’s attorneys, accountants and other similar advisers about their obligations in connection with this paragraph 14.15 and will further cause such advisers to abide by the aforesaid provisions of this paragraph 14.15. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Limited Partner shall be liable to the Partnership for any breach of this paragraph 14.15 by any adviser of such Limited Partner if the adviser is bound by an obligation to keep such Confidential Information confidential and such Limited Partner agrees to enforce such obligation.

 

48


14.16 Compliance with Certain Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement: (a) if at any time the General Partner determines that a Limited Partner appears on a list of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist organizations compiled by any United States or foreign governmental agency or that any information provided by such Limited Partner in such Limited Partner’s Subscription Agreement relating to money laundering is no longer true or accurate, then the General Partner shall be authorized to take any action as shall be necessary or appropriate, in the General Partner’s sole discretion, as a result thereof, including, but not limited to, the actions contemplated in any Subscription Agreement, removal of such Limited Partner as a limited partner of the Partnership and redemption of such Limited Partner’s interest in cash, less any penalty, fine, forfeiture, withholding or seizure imposed or ordered by any governmental agency; and (b) the General Partner, in its own name and on behalf of the Partnership, shall be authorized without the consent of any Person, including any other Partner, to take such action as it determines to be necessary or appropriate, in the General Partner’s sole discretion, to comply with any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist laws, rules, regulations, directives or special measures, including the actions contemplated in any Subscription Agreement.
