ARTICLE VIII
DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION, AND TERMINATION
8.01Dissolution.The Partnership shall dissolve and its affairs shall be wound up on the first to occur of the following:
(a) the written consent of all of the Partners;
(b) the sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s property;
(c) the bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or withdrawal of any Partner;
(d) the happening of any other event that makes it unlawful, impossible, or impractical to carry on the business of the Partnership; or
(e) Any event which causes there to be no General Partner.
8.02Liquidation and Termination.On dissolution of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner shall act as liquidator or may appoint one or more other Persons as liquidator; provided, however, that if the Partnership dissolves on account of an event of the type described in section 17-402(a)(4)-(l0) of the Act with respect to the Managing General Partner, the liquidator shall be one or more Persons selected in writing by other Partners. The liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Partnership and make final distributions as provided herein. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Partnership expense. Until final distribution, the liquidator shall continue to operate the Partnership properties with all of the power and authority of the Managing General Partner. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidator are as follows:
(a) as promptly as possible after dissolution and gain after final liquidation, the liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Partnership’s assets, liabilities, and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;
(b) the liquidator shall pay from Partnership funds all of the debts and liabilities of the Partnership or otherwise make adequate provision therefor (including, without limitation, the establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine); and
(c) all remaining assets of the Partnership shall be distributed to the Partners as follows:
(i) the liquidator may sell any or all Partnership property, including to Partners, and any resulting gain or loss from each sale shall be computed and allocated to the capital accounts of the Partners;
10
(ii) with respect to all Partnership property that has not been sold, the fair market value of that property shall be determined and the capital accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss, and deduction inherent in that property (that has not been reflected in the capital accounts previously) would be allocated among the Partners if there were a taxable disposition of that property for the fair market value of that property on the date of its distribution; and
(iii) Partnership property shall be distributed among the Partners in accordance with the positive capital account balances of the Partners, as determined after taking into account all capital account adjustments for the taxable year of the Partnership during which the liquidation of the Partnership occurs (other than those made by reason of this clause (iii)); and those distributions shall be made by the end of the taxable year of the Partnership during which the liquidation of the Partnership occurs (or, if later, 90 days after the date of the liquidation).
All distributions in kind to the Partners shall be made subject to the liability of each distributee for its allocable share of costs, expenses, and liabilities theretofore incurred or for which the Partnership has committed prior to the date of termination and those costs, expenses, and liabilities shall be allocated to the distributee pursuant to this Section 8.02. The distribution of cash and/or property to a Partner in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.02 constitutes a complete return to the Partner of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Partner of its Partnership Interest and all the Partnership’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Partners have consented within the meaning of section 17-502(b) of the Act. To the extent that a Partner returns funds to the Partnership, it has no claim against any other Partner for those funds.
8.03Cancellation of Certificate.On completion of the distribution of Partnership assets as provided herein, the Partnership is terminated, and the General Partners (or such other Person or Persons as the Act may require or permit) shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate and any other filings made as provided in Section 2.06 and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership.

9.04 Effect of Waiver or Consent.A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations with respect to the Partnership is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person with respect to the Partnership. Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default with respect to the Partnership, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.
9.05 Amendment or Modification.This Agreement may be amended or modified from time to time only by a written instrument executed by all of the Partners.
9.06 Binding Effect.Subject to the restrictions on Dispositions set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement is binding on and inures to the benefit of the Partners and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

12

9.11 Counterparts.This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement of Limited Partnership is executed as of the date first above written.
