This Section 4.2(b)(i) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such Section of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

(ii) Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback.

This allocation is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3) and shall be construed in accordance with the requirements thereof.

(iv) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Sections 1.704-2(g)(l) and 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations, each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4,2(b)(iv) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article 4 have been made as if Sections 4.2(b)(iii) and 4.2(b)(iv) were not in this Agreement.

 

(v) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated among the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

4.3 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 4.1(b) and 4.2 hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section 4.3. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to the general rules of Section 4.1. In exercising its discretion under this Section 4.3, the Partners shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections 4.2(b)(i) and 4.2(b)(ii) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Sections 4.2(b)(v) and 4.2(b)(iv).

(b) The Partners are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article 4 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article 4 in reporting their shares of Partner income and loss for income tax purposes.

4.5 Distributions. Subject to Section 4.8, the Partnership shall make all distributions in accordance with the Partners’ Percentage Interests and at such times and in such amounts as determined by the General Partner.

4.6 Tax Withholdings. To the extent the Partnership is required by federal, state or local law or any tax treaty to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Partner, the Partnership shall withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as so required. The amount of such payments shall constitute an advance by the Partnership to such Partner and shall be repaid to the Partnership by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Partner or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Partner or, if such proceeds are insufficient, such Partner shall pay to the Partnership the amount of such insufficiency.

In such event, (i) the Partner who is designated “tax matters partner” shall take such action as may be necessary to cause each other Partner to become a “notice partner” within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(8) of the Code, (ii) the Partner who is designated “tax matters partner” shall inform each other Partner of all significant matters that may come to its attention in its capacity as “tax matters partner” by giving notice thereof on or before the fifth business day after becoming aware thereof and, within that time, shall forward to each other Partner copies of all significant written communications it may receive in that capacity and (iii) the Partner who is designated “tax matters partner” may not take any action contemplated by Sections 6222 through 6232 of the Code without the consent of all of the Partners; provided, however, such Partner is not authorized to take any action left to the determination of an individual Partner under Section 6222 through 6232 of the Code or any similar state or local provision.

 

(b) Title XI of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, H.R. 1314, Public Law Number 114-74 (the “Budget Act”), provides that effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, there will be extensive changes to the manner in which the IRS audits and collects taxes with respect to partners and their partnerships. Unless otherwise agreed by the Partners, the Tax Matters Member designated in subsection (a) above shall be the “partnership’s representative” (or designate such if it is not able to serve) under the new rules and the Partners will work together to apply the new rules in a manner consistent with this Agreement. To the extent not inconsistent with the Budget Act, the partnership’s representative shall continue to have all rights and powers delegated to the “Tax Matters Member” under this Agreement after the Partnership applies the Budget Act new rules.

 

4.10 Compliance with Code and Treasury Regulations. The allocation and distribution provisions set forth in this Article 4 are intended to apply in a manner consistent with the provisions of Sections 704 and 706 of the Code, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated for those Sections. The Partners shall have the reasonable discretion to apply the allocation and distribution provisions set forth in this Article 4 in any manner consistent with Sections 704 and 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations. The Partners agree to make such amendments to this Agreement as are necessary to maintain such compliance.

 

Article 5

STATUS OF LIMITED PARTNERS

 

5.1 General. Each Limited Partner has all of the rights, and is afforded the status, of a limited partner under the Act. No Limited Partner shall participate in the management or control of the business of the Partnership, transact any business for the Partnership or have any power to act for or bind the Partnership.

 

 11

 

 

5.2 Limitation on Liability. No Limited Partner has any personal liability whatsoever, whether to the Partnership, the General Partner or any creditor of the Partnership, for the debts, expenses, liabilities or obligations of the Partnership (but each Partner does have personal liability for its obligations under Article 3) unless that Limited Partner otherwise agrees in a separate writing with a third party creditor of the Partnership.

 

5.3 Bankruptcy; Death. None of the Bankruptcy, death, disability or declaration of incompetence of a Limited Partner shall cause a dissolution of the Partnership. However, the rights of that Limited Partner to share in the profits and losses of the Partnership and to receive distributions of the funds of the Partnership shall, on the happening of one of these events, devolve on the estate, legal representative or successors in interest, as the case may be, of that Limited Partner subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The estate, representative or successors in interest of that Limited Partner are liable for all of the unsatisfied obligations, if any, of that Limited Partner. However, the estate, representative or successors in interest may become a limited partner in the Partnership only with the consent of the General Partner and in accordance with Section 8.3.

 

Article 6

MANAGEMENT

 

6.1 Rights. The General Partner shall have the exclusive right, power and authority to take any action on behalf of the Partnership, other than actions specifically restricted herein.

 

6.2 Exculpation of Partners and Officers. No Partner or officer shall be liable to the Partnership or any other Partner or officer for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Partner or officer in good-faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement, so long as such action or omission does not constitute fraud or willful misconduct by such Partner or officer.

 

6.3 Limitation of Liability. This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duty on any Partner or officer. Furthermore, each of the Partners, officers and the Partnership hereby waives any and all fiduciary duties that, absent such waiver, may be implied by Applicable Law, and in doing so, acknowledges and agrees that the duties and obligation of each Partner or officer to each other and to the Partnership are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Partner or officer existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Partner or officer.

 

6.4 Duties. The General Partner shall manage and control the Partnership and its business and affairs in accordance with the standards of the industry, and shall use reasonable, good faith efforts to carry out the business of the Partnership. The General Partner shall devote itself to the business of the Partnership to the extent required to carry out the business of the Partnership, but shall not be precluded from being involved in other businesses or activities. The General Partner shall perform its duties under this Agreement with ordinary prudence and in a manner characteristic of a businessman in similar circumstances.

 

 12

 

 

6.5 Compensation and Reimbursement. The General Partner shall be reimbursed by the Partnership for any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, fees and costs incurred in connection with the organization, business and affairs of the Partnership, including any payment due to the General Partner, the Advisor or any other Person under the Advisory Agreement.

 

6.6 Agreements with Affiliates. The General Partner may execute on behalf of the Partnership contracts or agreements with affiliates of the General Partner, so long as the contracts or agreements are approved by the Conflicts Committee of the General Partner.

 

6.7 Officers. The General Partner may designate such officers and agents of the Partnership as it may deem necessary or proper in the conduct of the affairs of the Partnership, delegating to such officers and agents the titles, duties, responsibilities, and authority reflected in such authorizations. At all times the actions of the officers and agents shall be subject to the review, delegation, redetermination, direction and control of the General Partner. The General Partner may remove, terminate, reassign, redefine the duties of, or change any officer of the Partnership at any time and from time to time.

 

6.8 Appointment and Replacement. The General Partner shall serve in such capacity unless and until replaced pursuant to this Agreement. In the event of the death, liquidation, dissolution, Bankruptcy, retirement, resignation, withdrawal, disability, declaration of incompetence or any other occurrence that would legally disqualify the General Partner from acting under this Agreement of any Person herein or hereafter named as General Partner, the Limited Partners shall appoint a successor General Partner who must be Approved by the Partners, excluding in such computation the Interest(s) of the then General Partner.

 

6.9 Approval and Meetings.

 

(a) Actions and decisions requiring Approval of the Partners may be authorized or made either by vote of the required Partners taken at a meeting of the required Partners or by written consent of same without a meeting. For the purpose of determining the Partners entitled to vote on, or to vote at, any meeting of the Partners or on a request for written consent, the record date for any such determination shall be the day before a General Partner delivers notice of the meeting or its request for written consent.

 

(b) The General Partner may call a meeting to obtain Approval of the Partners for an action or decision under this Agreement by delivering to the other Partners notice of the time and purpose of the meeting at least seven (7) days before the day of the meeting.

Meetings may be held by telephone conference and participation by a Partner in a meeting by telephone conference shall constitute presence of that Partner.

8.1 Admission of New Partners. New Partners may be admitted to the Partnership upon terms and conditions determined by the General Partner.

 

8.2 Transfers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Partner may Transfer in any manner whatsoever all or any part of its Interest unless (i) such Partner has fully complied with the provisions of this Section 8.2 for the Transfer, (ii) after giving effect thereto, such Transfer would not otherwise terminate the Partnership for the purposes of Code Section 708 or cause the Partnership to be classified as other than a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes and (iii) such Transfer would not result in a violation of applicable law, including U.S. federal or state securities laws, or any term or condition of this Agreement.

Article 9

DISSOLUTION

 

9.1 Causes. The Partnership shall be dissolved on the first to occur of any of the following events, and each Partner hereby expressly waives any right that it might otherwise have to dissolve the Partnership:

 

(a) The Bankruptcy death, disability, declaration of incompetence or any other occurrence that would legally disqualify the last remaining General Partner from acting under this Agreement;

 

(b) The retirement, resignation or withdrawal from the Partnership by the last remaining General Partner;

 

(c) The execution by all the Partners of an instrument dissolving the Partnership; or

 

(d) An event requiring such action under the Act.

 

Nothing contained in this Section 9.1 is intended to grant to a Partner the right to dissolve the Partnership at will (by retirement, resignation, withdrawal or otherwise), or to exonerate a Partner from liability to the Partnership and the remaining Partners if that Partner dissolves the Partnership at will. A dissolution at will of the Partnership is in contravention of this Agreement for purposes of the Act or any successor statute.

 

9.2 Reconstitution. If dissolution of the Partnership results from the occurrence of an event described in Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b) , then the Partnership may be reconstituted and its business continued pursuant to the Act. If a reconstitution is completed, an appropriate amendment to this Agreement and, if necessary, to the Certificate shall be executed and, in the case of the Certificate, if necessary, appropriately filed of record. The rights of the remaining Partners after reconstitution, and the rights and liabilities of any Partner wrongfully dissolving the Partnership in contravention of this Agreement, shall be as provided for under the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

 16

 

 

9.3 Interim Manager. If the Partnership is dissolved as a result of an event described in Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b), the Limited Partners, by the Approval of the Limited Partners, may appoint an interim manager of the Partnership, who shall have and may exercise all the rights, powers and duties of the General Partner under this Agreement, until (i) the new General Partner is elected pursuant to Section 6.8, if the Partnership is reconstituted pursuant to Section 9.2 or (ii) a Liquidator is appointed pursuant to Section 10.1 if the Partnership is not reconstituted.

 

Article 10

WINDING UP AND TERMINATION

 

10.1 General.

 

(a) Selection of Liquidator. If the Partnership is dissolved as a result of an event described in Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b) and is not reconstituted, then the Limited Partners, by the Approval of the Limited Partners, shall, subject to Section 10.1(b), select a party to begin to wind up the affairs of the Partnership and to liquidate and sell its assets, all pursuant to the Act. If the Partnership is dissolved pursuant to Section 9.1(c) or Section 9.1(d), the General Partner shall begin to wind up the affairs of the Partnership and to liquidate and sell its assets, all pursuant to the Act. The party or parties actually conducting the liquidation in accordance with the foregoing sentences are herein referred to as the Liquidator.”

 

(b) Duties; Qualifications. The Liquidator (if other than a General Partner) shall have sufficient business expertise and competence to conduct the winding up and termination of the Partnership and, in the course thereof, to cause the Partnership to perform any existing or future Partnership contractual obligations. The Liquidator shall determine the time, manner and terms of any sale or sales of Property in liquidation, having due regard to the activity and condition of the relevant market and general financial and economic conditions.

 

(c) Compensation. The Liquidator is entitled to receive reasonable compensation for its services, as agreed upon by the Liquidator and the General Partner, if any, and as Approved by the Partners.

 

(d) Amendment to Certificate. At the request of a Liquidator who is not a General Partner, the Certificate shall be amended as permitted by the Act.

 

(e) Resignation, Removal, Succession. The Liquidator may resign at any time by giving fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by written notice of removal Approved by the Partners. On the death, dissolution, removal or resignation of the Liquidator, a successor and substitute Liquidator (who shall have and succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the original Liquidator) will, within thirty (30) days thereafter, be Approved by the Partners, evidenced by written appointment and acceptance. The right to appoint a successor substitute Liquidator in the manner provided herein shall be recurring and continuing for so long as the functions and services of the Liquidator are authorized to continue under this Agreement, and every reference herein to the Liquidator refers also to any successor or substituted Liquidator appointed in the manner herein provided. The Liquidator has and may exercise, without further authorization or consent of any of the parties hereto or their legal representatives or successors in interest, all of the powers conferred by this Agreement upon the General Partner to the extent necessary or desirable in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator to perform its duties and functions. The Liquidator is not liable as a General Partner hereunder to the Limited Partners or to third-party creditors.

 

 17

 

 

10.2 Liquidation. In the course of the winding up and termination of the business and affairs of the Partnership, its assets (other than cash) shall be sold, its liabilities and obligations to creditors and all expenses incurred in its liquidation shall be paid and all resulting taxable items shall be allocated as provided in Section 4.1. All Property shall be sold on liquidation of the Partnership, and no Property shall be distributed in kind to the Partners, unless it is distributed in proportion to the amounts that each Partner is due under this Section 10.2. Thereafter, the net proceeds from those sales (after deducting all selling costs and expenses in connection therewith), together with (at the expiration of the one-year period referred to in Section 10.3) the balance in the reserve account referred to in Section 10.3, shall be distributed among the Partners in accordance with their respective positive capital account balances.

 

The Liquidator shall use all reasonable efforts to effect complete liquidation of the Partnership within one (1) year after the date on which the Partnership is dissolved. Each holder of an Interest shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for all distributions and shall have no recourse therefor (on dissolution or otherwise) against the Partnership or the other Partners. On the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership and the distribution of all funds of the Partnership, the Partnership shall terminate, and the Liquidator shall have the authority to execute and record all documents required to effectuate the dissolution and termination of the Partnership. Distributions pursuant to this Section 10.2 may be made to a trust established for the benefit of the Partners for the purposes of liquidating the Property, collecting amounts owed to the Partnership and paying contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership.

 

10.3 Creation of Reserves. After making payment or provision for payment of all fixed and determinable debts and liabilities of the Partnership and all expenses of liquidation, the Liquidator may set up, for a period not to exceed one (1) year after the date of dissolution, the cash reserves that the Liquidator deems reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership.

 

10.4 Final Accounting. Within a reasonable time following the completion of the liquidation, the Liquidator shall supply to the Partners a statement that shall set forth (i) the assets and the liabilities of the Partnership as of the date of complete liquidation, (ii) the distributions to each Partner pursuant to Section 10.2, and (iii) the amount retained as reserves by the Liquidator pursuant to Section 10.3.

(c) Settlements. The Partnership shall not be liable under this Section 11.1 for any amounts paid in settlement of any action, suit or proceeding effected without the approval of the General Partner.
