ARTICLE III CAPITAL ACCOUNTS AND DIVISION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES 3.1 Capital Contributions. (a) Each Partner shall contribute to the Partnership cash for his Partnership interest, and a record of the capital contribution shall be maintained at the Partnership's principal place of business. In its sole discretion, the General Partner may permit contributions other than in cash. The General Partner, in its discretion, may refuse to accept a capital contribution or additional capital contribution from any Partner or prospective partner. (b) Each Limited Partner shall make an initial capital contribution to the Partnership in an amount not less than $1,000,000 as of the first day of any calendar month (subject to the discretion of the General Partner to accept contributions at other times and in lesser amounts). (c) Following the initial admission of Limited Partners, the General Partner may permit additional capital contributions from existing Partners or new Partners as of the first day of any calendar month in amounts not less than $100,000 (subject to the discretion of the General Partner to accept contributions at other times and in lesser amounts). 3.2 Capital Account. (a) There shall be established for each Partner on the books of the Partnership as of the first day of the Fiscal Period during which such Partner was admitted to the Partnership, a Capital Account for such Partner in an amount equal to his capital contribution to the Partnership. Each capital contribution by a Partner shall be deemed to generate a separate Capital Account unless the General Partner determines otherwise in its discretion. (b) For each Capital Account, as of the first day of each succeeding Fiscal Period (i.e., other than the Fiscal Period in which such Partner was admitted to the Partnership), the Capital Account of such Partner for such Fiscal Period shall be such Partner's closing Capital Account for the preceding Fiscal Period increased by the amount, if any, of any additional contributions made to such Capital Account by such Partner on the first day of such Fiscal Period to the Partnership. 9 EWAGNE1217654.1 - 11/29/12 EFTA01197149 3.3 Adjustments to Capital Account. (a) At the end of each Fiscal Period, the Capital Account(s) of each Partner shall be adjusted in the following manner and order: (1) Any Net Loss of the Partnership for such Fiscal Period shall be debited against the Capital Accounts of all the Partners, including the General Partner, in accordance with their Partnership Percentages for such Fiscal Period. (2) Any Net Gain for a Fiscal Period shall be credited to the Capital Accounts of Partners as follows: A preliminary allocation of Net Gain shall be made to each Capital Account in an amount (the "Preliminary Amount") equal to the product of the Net Gain and the Partnership Percentage for such Capital Account for such Fiscal Period. Subject to Section 4.4 below, for each Capital Account, the Preliminary Amount shall then be allocated as follows: (A) First, to the extent of the Preliminary Amount, an amount equal to the balance in the Loss Recovery Account (as defined below) corresponding to such Capital Account, if any, shall be allocated to such Capital Account; (B) Second, any amount of Net Gain in excess of the amount described in Section 3.3(a)(2)(A) above shall be allocated to such Capital Account, subject to reallocation pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(3) below. (3) The General Partner shall be entitled to a special allocation from each Capital Account (the "Incentive Allocation") at the end of each fiscal year of the Partnership (and upon any withdrawal of capital from a Capital Account) subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this subsection (a)(3). The Incentive Allocation as to each Capital Account (or the applicable Capital Account of a Limited Partner making a withdrawal) shall be equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate Net Gain allocated to the Limited Partner's Capital Account during the fiscal year (or the elapsed portion thereof) in accordance with Section 3.3(a)(2)(B) above. (4) There shall be established on the books of the Partnership for each Capital Account of each Limited Partner, a memorandum loss recovery account (a "Loss Recovery Account"), the opening balance of which shall be zero. At the end of each Fiscal Period, the balance in each Loss Recovery Account shall be adjusted as follows: (i) if there is a Net Loss for such Fiscal Period, an amount equal to the Net Loss allocated to such Capital Account shall be charged to such Loss Recovery Account; or (ii) if there is a Net Gain for such Fiscal Period, an amount equal to the Net Gain allocated to such Capital Account (to the extent of any unrecovered balance in the Loss Recovery Account) shall be credited to I0 EWAGNE1217654.1 - 11/29/12 EFTA01197150 and reduce any unrecovered balance in such Loss Recovery Account. The foregoing adjustments to the Loss Recovery Accounts shall be made (on a cumulative basis) before the Incentive Allocation to the General Partner is made. In the event that a Limited Partner makes a withdrawal from a Capital Account with an unrecovered balance in the corresponding Loss Recovery Account, the unrecovered balance in such Loss Recovery Account shall be reduced as of the beginning of the next Fiscal Period by an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the balance in such Loss Recovery Account by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the withdrawal made by such Limited Partner as of the last day of the prior Fiscal Period and the denominator of which is the balance in such Capital Account on the last day of the prior Fiscal Period (prior to the withdrawal made by the Limited Partner as of the last day of the Fiscal Period). Additional capital contributions shall not affect the balance of any Loss Recovery Account. (5) The General Partner may reduce, modify or waive the Incentive Allocation from time to time in its discretion with respect to one or more Limited Partners without notice to or the consent of the other Limited Partners. The General Partner may also share the Incentive Allocation with one or more other Partners. (6) The computations and procedures required to effect the adjustments, allocations and other matters provided for in this Section 3.3, including, without limitation, any accounting procedures used to implement such adjustments, allocations and other matters, shall be made in such reasonable manner as the General Partner in good faith shall determine to be appropriate. Without limiting the foregoing, in effecting such adjustments, allocations, and other matters for any Fiscal Period, the General Partner may in its sole discretion rely upon unaudited financial statements and such other computations, if any, as it determines. (b) The amount of any withdrawal made by a Partner pursuant to Section 4.2 below during such Fiscal Period shall be debited against such Partner's Capital Account. 3.4 Allocation of Income and Loss for Income Tax Purposes. (a) The income, deductions, gains, losses and credits of the Partnership shall be allocated for federal, state and local income tax purposes by the General Partner among the persons who were Partners during the relevant Taxable Year. For purposes of determining the share of any items allocated to any period during the relevant Taxable Year of the Partnership, such shares shall be determined by the General Partner using any method permitted by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended, the "Code") and the regulations thereunder. The General Partner shall make all allocations taking into account the Partners' Capital Accounts on the first day of the Taxable Year and distributive shares of Net Gain or Net Loss for such year, any entry of new Partners, any distributions by the Partnership, any contributions to or withdrawals from Capital Accounts and the difference between income for tax purposes and 11 EWAGNE1217654.1 - 11/29/12 EFTA01197151 profitability for Partnership purposes (e.g., unrealized gains and losses being included in the latter but not necessarily in the former) so as to as closely as reasonably possible have the tax allocations follow the economic allocations; provided however, that the General Partner shall be permitted to take into account such other factors as may be permitted by the Code and the regulations thereunder and any such allocations shall be binding on all Partners, so long as they were made in good faith. (b) All allocations to be made by the General Partner may be overridden if necessary to comply with the Code, the regulations thereunder or other applicable law. It is intended that all allocations herein shall have substantial economic effect under the Code and the regulations thereunder. (c) If the Partnership realizes items of income or losses (including capital gains and capital losses) for federal income tax purposes for any fiscal year, the General Partner shall have the discretion to allocate specially an amount of the Partnership's items of income or losses (including capital gains and capital losses) to a Partner who has made a full or partial withdrawal from his Capital Account during or at the end of such fiscal year to the extent that the Partner's Capital Account exceeds or is less than his federal income tax basis in his Partnership interest or to the extent the Partner's Capital Account exceeds or is less than his "adjusted tax basis," for federal income tax purposes, in his interest in the Partnership as of such time (determined without regard to any adjustments made to such "adjusted tax basis" by reason of any transfer or assignment of such interest, including by reason of death). (d) To the extent that the Partnership pays withholding taxes as to a Partner, such amounts shall be charged to the applicable Capital Account of such Partner or current distributions, or any such amounts may be treated as an advance to the Partner with interest to be charged to that Capital Account of such Partner at a rate determined by the General Partner. Such withholding taxes shall not reduce the Incentive Allocation otherwise due to the General Partner. (e) Each Partner agrees to provide information as requested by the General Partner so that the General Partner, in its discretion, can determine whether to file applicable composite returns and eligibility for inclusion in such returns. (0 Each Partner agrees not to treat, on any tax return or in any claim for a refund, any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit in a manner inconsistent with the treatment of such item by the Partnership. 3.5 Adjustments to Take into Account Interim Events. (a) The General Partner shall make such adjustments in the determination and allocation among the Partners of Net Gain, Net Loss, Capital Accounts, Partnership Percentages, and items of income, deduction, gain, loss or credit for tax purposes as shall equitably take into account interim events and applicable provisions of law, and the determination thereof by the General Partner shall be final and conclusive as to all of the Partners. (b) The General Partner may accept capital contributions to the Partnership subsequent to the time that they were due, and may assess an interest charge to the capital 12 EWAGNE1217654.1 - 11/29/12 EFTA01197152 contributed for the benefit of the Partnership, to reflect that the capital will be deemed contributed as of the beginning of the applicable Fiscal Period. 3.6 Other Separate Memorandum Accounts. (a) The General Partner may in its sole discretion determine that based upon tax or regulatory reasons or any other reason as to which the General Partner and a Partner agree, such Partner should not participate in the net capital appreciation or net capital depreciation, if any, attributable to trading in any security, or type of security or to any other transaction, and may allocate such net capital appreciation and net capital depreciation only to the Capital Accounts of the Partners to whom such reasons do not apply. In addition, if for any of the reasons described above, the General Partner determines that a Partner should have no interest whatsoever in a particular security, type of security or transaction, the General Partner may set forth the interests in any such security in a separate memorandum account and the net capital appreciation and net capital depreciation for each such memorandum account shall be separately calculated. In such event, the General Partner shall be authorized (but not required) to make an equitable adjustment to Partners not participating in the separate memorandum account. (b) The General Partner, in its sole discretion, shall have the authority to cause the Partnership to directly or indirectly participate in offerings of "new issues" (i.e., certain initial public offerings of equity securities). In the event that any Partner is or may be restricted from participating in new issues under the applicable rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), then the Partnership reserves the right to allocate all or some of the profits or losses arising from new issues trades away from such restricted Partner to the extent deemed appropriate by the General Partner. In such event, the General Partner shall be authorized, but not required, to make an equitable adjustment to account for the fact that non- restricted Partners were receiving profits or losses based in part on the capital of restricted Partners. Such adjustment may, in the sole discretion of the General Partner and to the extent not prohibited by rules of FINRA, consist of (i) assessing an interest charge to the Capital Accounts of non-restricted Partners, in favor of the Partnership, in an amount deemed appropriate to compensate the Fund for the use of capital by non-restricted Partners in connection with new issue trades; (ii) specially allocating a portion of non-new issue results of the Partnership from the non-restricted Partners to the restricted Partners; or (iii) such other adjustment as the General Partner considers equitable and is not inconsistent with the rules of FINRA. ARTICLE IV LEGAL INTERESTS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS FROM CAPITAL ACCOUNT 4.1 Legal Interest. Each Partner shall have and own during any Fiscal Period an undivided interest in the Partnership equal to his opening Capital Account(s) for such Fiscal Period. 4.2 Limited Partner Withdrawals. (a) Subject to Sections 4.3 and 4.4 below, capital invested by a Limited Partner in the Partnership may be withdrawn by the Limited Partner as of any Withdrawal Date. 13 EWAGNE1217654.1 - 11/29/12 EFTA01197153 If a Limited Partner withdraws any capital from a Capital Account prior to the day immediately preceding the one-year anniversary of the contribution of such capital to the Partnership, such withdrawal will be subject to an early withdrawal charge for the benefit of the Partnership equal to 4% of the net asset value of the capital being withdrawn ("Early Withdrawal Charge"). Withdrawals will be deemed made on a first-in, first-out basis for this purpose. Any of these conditions may be waived in full or in part by the General Partner from time to time in its sole discretion with respect to one or more Limited Partners, without notice to or the consent of the other Limited Partners. (b) A Limited Partner must provide irrevocable written notice to the General Partner of his desire to make a withdrawal as of a Withdrawal Date at least forty-five (45) days prior to such Withdrawal Date. The above notice period may be waived in whole or in part by the General Partner in its sole discretion with respect to one or more Limited Partners. After receiving a withdrawal notice from a Limited Partner, the Partnership may, upon at least 24 hours' notice to the Limited Partner, effect such withdrawal and pay all or a portion of the withdrawal proceeds at any time prior to the anticipated Withdrawal Date. A withdrawal notice will be irrevocable by a Limited Partner unless the General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise. (c) A Limited Partner withdrawing amounts from a Capital Account pursuant to this Section 4.2 will generally be paid the amount withdrawn, net of any Incentive Allocation, Early Withdrawal Charges and accrued expenses through the Withdrawal Date, within 30 days after the applicable Withdrawal Date, provided, that a Limited Partner withdrawing ninety percent (90%) or more of his Capital Accounts, will generally be paid an amount equal to at least ninety percent (90%) of the amount to be withdrawn, net of any Incentive Allocation, Early Withdrawal Charges and accrued expenses through the Withdrawal Date, within thirty (30) days after the applicable Withdrawal Date, with the balance, if any, settled without interest no later than thirty (30) days after completion of the audit of the Partnership's books for the year in which such withdrawal took place. All withdrawals shall be subject to the reserve referred to in Section 5.5 and the General Partner's right to suspend withdrawals in accordance with Section 5.7 below. Distributions under this Section 4.2 may be made in cash and/or in Securities (which may include equity interests in subsidiaries of the Partnership or participating interests in assets owned by the Partnership), in the sole discretion of the General Partner. In the event a distribution is made in cash, the Capital Account of the Partner receiving such distribution shall be debited with the amount of cash so distributed. In the event a distribution is made in the form of Securities, the Capital Account of the Partner receiving distribution in the form of Securities shall be debited with the value, determined in accordance with Section 1.9(m) above, as of the date of distribution of the Securities distributed. The Securities to be distributed shall be selected by the General Partner in its discretion and need not be a pro rata portion of each position held by the Partnership. 4.3 Investor Gate. Notwithstanding Section 4.2 above, a Limited Partner may withdraw only up to fifty percent (50%) of the value of his Capital Account as of any Withdrawal Date (such limitation, the "Investor Gate" and the amount permitted to be withdrawn pursuant to the Investor Gate, the "Maximum Amount") unless such Investor Gate is waived by the General Partner, in its discretion. If a Limited Partner submits a request to withdraw more than the Maximum Amount as of a single Withdrawal Date (such date, the "Gated Withdrawal 14 EWAGNE1217654.1 - 11/29/12 EFTA01197154 Date"), capital will be withdrawn from the Partnership without any further action required of such Limited Partner (including any gains or losses thereon) as follows: (1) First, as of the Gated Withdrawal Date, the Limited Partner will be deemed to have withdrawn capital from his Capital Account equal to the Maximum Amount; and (2) Second, as of the Withdrawal Date immediately following the Gated Withdrawal Date, the Limited Partner will be deemed to have withdrawn capital from his Capital Account equal to the amount requested to be withdrawn on the Gated Withdrawal Date but not satisfied as a result of the Investor Gate. Capital not withdrawn as a result of the Investor Gate will remain invested in the Partnership and will increase or decrease based upon the performance of the Partnership until the effective date of the withdrawal of such capital. 4.4 Impaired Withdrawals. (a) Notwithstanding Section 4.2 above, if the General Partner determines that the liquidity in the Partnership's investment portfolio is impaired as of a Withdrawal Date (an "Impaired Withdrawal Date") the General Partner may require each Limited Partner making a withdrawal of ninety percent (90%) or more of his Capital Accounts as of such date (a "Designated Limited Partner") to retain his pro rata interest in any investments that the Investment Manager believes cannot be liquidated at such time without undue cost to the non- withdrawing Limited Partners ("Designated Investments"). Designated Limited Partners will retain such interests until the Investment Manager liquidates the applicable Designated Investments in the ordinary course of business (an "Impaired Withdrawal Period"), or such earlier date as of which the General Partner, in its discretion, elects to terminate the Impaired Withdrawal Period. A Limited Partner will be not required to maintain an interest in Designated Investments that have a value as of such Impaired Withdrawal Date of more than ten percent (10%) of the total net asset value of such Limited Partner's Capital Accounts as of such date. (b) The Incentive Allocation, if any, due to the General Partner with respect to a Designated Limited Partner on an Impaired Withdrawal Date (but not on any other date or with respect to any other Limited Partner) shall be calculated as if the Designated Investments were deemed to have no value as of such date. (c) During an Impaired Withdrawal Period, a Designated Limited Partner's interest in any Designated Investments will increase or decrease based upon the performance of such Designated Investments. A Designated Limited Partner will receive distributions from the Partnership promptly following the liquidation of each applicable Designated Investment, net of any expenses. Management Fees will accrue on the Designated Investments during an Impaired Withdrawal Period, but will not be payable with respect to a Designated Limited Partner until he has received distributions from Designated Investments that exceed any applicable unrecovered Loss Recovery Account balance that existed as of the Illiquid Redemption Date. An Incentive Allocation shall also be due with respect to all such distributions to the extent they exceed any 15 EWAGNE1217654.1 - 11/29/12 EFTA01197155 applicable unrecovered Loss Recovery Account balance that existed as of the Illiquid Redemption Date. (d) The General Partner and the Investment Manager shall not withdraw any capital from the Partnership during an Impaired Withdrawal Period other than amounts necessary to pay taxes and employee and consultant compensation amounts. 4.5 Distributions. The General Partner may declare distributions from the Partnership to the Partners at any time but is not required to do so at any time. Distributions to Partners need not be proportionate. 4.6 General Partner Withdrawals. Subject to Section 4.4(d) above, the General Partner shall be entitled to withdraw any portion (or all) of its Capital Account at any time, whether or not on a Withdrawal Date, without notice to the Limited Partners. The General Partner will not be subject to any Early Withdrawal Charges. ARTICLE V RETIREMENT FROM OR DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP 5.1 Definition of Term Retirement. The term "retirement" with respect to the General Partner shall include cessation of the status of the General Partner as a result of dissolution, death, insanity, bankruptcy, or voluntary or involuntary withdrawal as provided for in this Agreement, other than termination of the Partnership. The term "retirement" with respect to a Limited Partner shall include a voluntary or involuntary withdrawal from the status of a Partner pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE V. 5.2 Retirement of a Limited Partner. In the event of the death, disability, incapacity, incompetency, termination, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of a Limited Partner, the interest of such Limited Partner will continue at the risk of the Partnership business. Subject to Section 5.7 below, a Limited Partner may voluntarily retire from the Partnership as of any Withdrawal Date as of which he is eligible to withdraw all of his capital from the Partnership by giving notice of retirement in writing to the General Partner at least forty-five (45) days prior to such Withdrawal Date. A retirement notice will be irrevocable by a Limited Partner, unless the General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise. A retiring Limited Partner shall continue as a Partner until the applicable Withdrawal Date. Subject to Sections 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 above, the retiring Limited Partner will be paid an amount equal to at least ninety percent (90%) of his Liquidating Share (as defined in Section 5.4 below), net of any Incentive Allocation, Early Withdrawal Charges and accrued expenses through the Withdrawal Date and subject to the reserve referred to in Section 5.5 below, within thirty (30) days after the Withdrawal Date, with the balance, if any, settled without interest no later than thirty (30) days after completion of the audit of the Partnership's financial statements for the year during which the retirement took place, subject to the reserve referred to in Section 5.5 below. Distributions may be made in cash and/or in Securities, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, in the manner described in Section 4.2(c) above. Any of these conditions may be waived in full or in part by the General Partner from time to time in its sole discretion with respect to one or more Limited Partners, without notice to or the consent of the other Limited Partners. 16 EWAGNE1217654.1 - 11/29/12 EFTA01197156 5.3 Retirement of a General Partner. (a) Retirement of a General Partner shall not dissolve the Partnership, unless such General Partner was the sole remaining General Partner, in which case, the Partnership shall be dissolved as of the effective date of such retirement. Retirement of a General Partner shall not relieve it of any obligations or liabilities incurred as a General Partner during the term of its membership in the Partnership as a General Partner. (b) The General Partner may voluntarily retire from the Partnership at any time by the giving of at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of retirement to the Partnership (subject to the waiver or reduction of such notice requirement). The Partnership interest of the retiring General Partner shall remain at the risk of the Partnership's business and the business of the Partnership shall be conducted until the effective date thereof as though no such event had occurred. Subject to Section 4.4 above, within thirty (30) days following the effective date thereof there shall be paid to such General Partner, or the legal representatives of such General Partner, an amount equal to (i) at least ninety percent (90%) of the Liquidating Share of such General Partner, net of any accrued expenses through the Withdrawal Date, with the balance settled no later than thirty (30) days after completion of the next audit of the Partnership's books, subject to the reserve referred to in Section 5.5 below; and (ii) any unallocated or undistributed Incentive Allocation due to the General Partner. 5.4 Liquidating Share. The term "Liquidating Share", when used with respect to any retiring Partner as of a Withdrawal Date, shall mean the closing Capital Account of such Partner as of such Withdrawal Date. 5.5 Reserve Against Withdrawal and Liquidating Share. The General Partner may withhold, as a reserve, from any distribution to be payable to a withdrawing or retiring Partner, such Partner's pro rata share of any liabilities or contingencies (whether or not such reserve is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles), as well as any amounts payable to taxing authorities (which have not been previously charged as liabilities). Any such reserve shall be held in a separate account and shall be adjusted from time to time as the General Partner considers reasonable, until the General Partner determines that such reserve (or the balance thereof) is no longer advisable or required, and at such time, the remaining balance in such account shall be forwarded to the withdrawing or retiring Partner. 5.6 Involuntary Withdrawal or Retirement. The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, terminate the interest of any Limited Partner in the Partnership in whole or in part for any reason and at any time upon at least two (2) days' prior written notice. Such involuntarily withdrawing or retiring Partner shall receive at least ninety percent (90%) of his Liquidating Share pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE V (or portion thereof involuntarily withdrawn) no later than thirty (30) days after the date of withdrawal or retirement (as applicable) net of any Incentive Allocation and any accrued expenses through the Withdrawal Date and subject to the reserve referred to in Section 5.5 above, with the balance settled without interest within thirty (30) days after completion of the audit of the Partnership's books for the year during which such withdrawal or retirement took place, subject to the reserve referred to in Section 5.5 above; and, in the case of a retirement, such involuntarily retiring Partner shall be deemed to have retired from the Partnership as of such date of retirement. Distributions may be 17 EWAGNE1217654.1 - 11/29/12 EFTA01197157 made in cash and/or Securities, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, in the manner described in Section 4.2(c). Involuntary withdrawals will not be subject to any Early Withdrawal Charges. 5.7 Suspension of Withdrawals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in ARTICLE IV above or this ARTICLE V, the General Partner may suspend the right of any Limited Partner to withdraw capital from the Partnership or to receive a distribution from the Partnership upon the occurrence of any of the following circumstances: (a) when any such withdrawal or distribution would result in a violation by the Partnership, the General Partner or the Investment Manager of the securities or commodity laws of the United States or any other jurisdiction or the rules of any self-regulatory organization applicable to the Partnership, the General Partner or the Investment Manager; (b) when any securities exchange or organized interdealer market on which a significant portion of the Partnership's portfolio securities or other assets is regularly traded or quoted is closed (other than for holidays) or trading thereon has been suspended or restricted; (c) when there exists any state of affairs as a result of which (i) disposal of a substantial part of the investments of the Partnership would not be reasonably practicable and might seriously prejudice the Partners or (ii) it is not reasonably practicable for the General Partner fairly to determine the value of the Partnership's net assets; (d) when any event has occurred which calls for the termination of the Partnership; or (e) when the General Partner determines that such suspension is in the best interests of the Partnership and the Limited Partners taken as a whole. Notice of any suspension will be given to any Limited Partner who has submitted a withdrawal or retirement request and to whom full payment of the proceeds thereof has not yet been remitted. If a withdrawal or retirement request is not rescinded by a Limited Partner following notification of a suspension, such withdrawal or retirement will generally be effected as of the last day of the calendar quarter in which the suspension is lifted, on the basis of the Net Asset Value of the Partnership's assets at that time. ARTICLE VI DURATION OF PARTNERSHIP 6.1 Term. Unless terminated by the decision of the General Partner (which may be done at any time and for any reason), the Partnership shall be of perpetual duration. 6.2 Order of Distribution. Upon termination of the business of the Partnership, the General Partner shall, out of the Partnership's assets, make distributions in the following manner and order: (a) First, for the payment and discharge of the claims of all creditors of the Partnership who are not Partners; 18 EWAGNE1217654.1 - 11/29/12 EFTA01197158 (b) Second, for the payment of amounts deemed necessary for contingent liabilities or obligations of the Partnership to creditors who are not Partners, to be set aside as a reserve; (c) Third, for the pro rata payment to Partners who are creditors of the Partnership; (d) Fourth, for the allocation, distribution and discharge of all Incentive Allocation amounts due to the General Partner and the payment of all amounts due to the Investment Manager; and, finally, (e) To the Partners in the relative proportions that their respective Liquidating Shares bear to each other. In the event that the Partnership is terminated on a date other than the last day of a Fiscal Period, the date of such termination shall be deemed to be the last day of a Fiscal Period for purposes of adjusting the Capital Accounts of the Partners pursuant to Section 3.3 above. If any liquidating distributions are made hereunder other than in cash, the Net Gain or Net Loss attributable to the property so distributed shall be determined as nearly as practicable as of the date of such distribution, and such amounts (to the extent not previously reflected in the Partners' Capital Accounts) shall be allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Partners pursuant to Section 3.3 above prior to any determination of Partnership Percentages for purposes of this Section 6.2. 6.3 Property Distributed. Any distribution made pursuant to Section 6.2 above shall be made in the form chosen in the discretion of the General Partner or other party acting as liquidating agent. 6.4 Liquidating Agent. Upon the termination of the Partnership, the General Partner will act as the Partnership's liquidating agent, and failing to so act, the Investment Manager will act as such, unless they are both unavailable or prohibited to do so by applicable law, in which event, a vote by a majority-in-interest of the Partners (based on Capital Accounts) shall appoint a liquidating agent. The General Partner or other liquidating agent shall be reimbursed for all fees and expenses relating to the liquidation of the Partnership and shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from the Partnership for acting as liquidating agent. ARTICLE VII AUDIT OF BOOKS 7.1 General Provisions. The books of account and financial records of the Partnership shall be audited as of the end of each calendar year by an independent public accountant selected by the General Partner in its discretion. 7.2 Statements to Partners. (a) Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Partnership, or as soon as is practicable thereafter, the General Partner shall mail (or cause to be mailed) to each person who was a member of the Partnership during such year a report setting forth as of the end of such calendar year audited financial statements of the Partnership, a 19 EWAGNE1217654.1 - 11/29/12 EFTA01197159 statement of financial condition and related statements of income and changes in Partners' Capital Accounts; provided, however, that the General Partner may elect, in its discretion, to have the initial audit of the Partnership performed as of December 31, 2013 with such audit covering the period from the commencement of the Partnership's operations through such date. For financial reporting purposes, the General Partner may cause the Partnership's organizational fees and expenses to be amortized over a period of up to 60 months (even though not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles), unless such treatment results in adverse regulatory consequences in which case the Partnership shall be entitled to expense such items on a current basis for financial statement purposes. The Partnership may, however, continue to amortize such expenses for purposes of calculating the Partnership's Net Asset Value. (b) In addition, as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each Taxable Year, or as soon thereafter as is practicable, the General Partner shall cause to be prepared and mailed to each Partner (or his legal representatives) who shall need such information for tax purposes, whether currently or formerly a Partner, a summary of tax information, including a Schedule K-I, for such Taxable Year, as shall enable such Partner (or his legal representatives) to prepare his U.S. federal income tax returns in accordance with the laws, rules and regulations then prevailing. (c) The General Partner shall cause to be prepared and distributed to the Partners such periodic (but no less frequently than monthly) interim unaudited financial information regarding the Partnership as the General Partner may deem advisable from time to time. 7.3 Tax Matters Partner. The General Partner shall at all times constitute, and have full powers and responsibilities of, the tax matters partner (the "'Tax Matters Partner") of the Partnership. The Tax Matters Partner shall also have such authority with respect to foreign, state and local tax matters. In the event the Partnership shall be the subject of an income tax audit by any federal, foreign, state or local authority, to the extent the Partnership is treated as an entity for purposes of such audit, including administrative settlement and judicial review, the Tax Matters Partner shall be authorized to act for, and its decisions as such shall be final and binding upon, the Partnership and each Partner thereof. Pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and to the fullest extent permitted thereunder, the Tax Matters Partner shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership and each Partner. All expenses incurred in connection with any such audit, investigation, settlement or review shall be borne by the Partnership. ARTICLE VIII MISCELLANEOUS 8.1 Right to Hire. (a) Nothing herein shall preclude the General Partner or the Investment Manager from engaging on behalf of the Partnership the services of any Portfolio Manager, person or firm, whether or not affiliated with the General Partner or the Investment Manager, to render for compensation such services to the Partnership as may be necessary to implement the business purposes of the Partnership. 20 EWAGNE1217654.1 - 11/29/12 EFTA01197160 (b) Each of the Partners consents that the General Partner, or any member, officer, employee, manager, agent, affiliate or principal of the General Partner, may engage in or possess an interest in, directly or indirectly, any other present or future business venture of any nature or description for his or its own account, independently or with others, including but not limited to, any aspect of the securities business or any other business engaged in by the Partnership, and may become the general partner in other partnerships; and neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall have any rights in or to such independent venture or the income or profits derived therefrom. (c) The General Partner and the Investment Manager, and any affiliate, member, officer, employee, manager, agent or principal of the General Partner or the Investment Manager, may hereafter render investment advisory services to other investors and clients with respect to, and/or may own, purchase or sell, securities or other interests in property the same as or similar to those which the General Partner, the Investment Manager or a Portfolio Manager may purchase, hold or sell on behalf of the Partnership. 8.2 Applicable Law, etc. This Limited Partnership Agreement: (i) shall be binding on the executors, administrators, estates, heirs and legal successors of the Partners; (ii) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware; and (iii) may be executed in more than one counterpart with the same effect as if the parties executing the several counterparts had all executed one counterpart as of the day and year first written above; provided, however, that in the aggregate, they shall have been signed by all of the Limited Partners. All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural as the identity of the person may require. 8.3 Power of Attorney. Each of the undersigned does hereby elect and appoint the General Partner, acting singly with full power of substitution, his true and lawful representative and attorney in-fact, in his name, place and stead to make, execute, sign and file a Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, any amendment thereof permitted hereunder or required by law, any amendment to this Agreement authorized by the terms of this Agreement, and all such other instruments, documents and certificates which may from time to time be required by the laws of the United States of America, the State of Delaware or any other state in which the Partnership shall determine to do business, or any political subdivision or agency thereof, to effectuate, implement and continue the valid and subsisting existence of the Partnership. 8.4 Tax Elections Under the Code. The Tax Matters Partner shall have the authority to make or revoke all tax elections and determinations on behalf of the Partnership under the Code, the regulations promulgated thereunder or other applicable law to effect any elections, determinations or capital allocations. The Tax Matters Partner shall also have such authority with respect to foreign, state and local tax matters. 8.5 Amendments to Limited Partnership Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be modified or amended at any time and from time to time upon the consent of the General Partner together with the consent of those Limited Partners (excluding Non-Voting Limited Partners) whose Capital Accounts are in excess of 50% of the aggregate Capital Accounts of all Limited Partners (excluding Non-Voting Limited Partners), 21 EWAGNE1217654.1 - 11/29/12 EFTA01197161 insofar as is consistent with the laws governing this Agreement; provided, however, that without the specific written consent of each Partner (other than a Non-Voting Limited Partner) affected thereby, no such modification or amendment shall (i) reduce the Capital Account of any Partner or his rights of withdrawal with respect thereto; (ii) increase the Incentive Allocation allocable to the General Partner from such Partner's Capital Account; or (iii) amend this Section 8.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall have the right to effect immaterial or insubstantial amendments to this Agreement without the consent of any Limited Partner, including without limitation, to reflect: a change in the location of the Partnership's principal place of business; a change in the registered office or registered agent; a change in the name of the Partnership; admission or termination of Partners in accordance with this Agreement; a change that is necessary to qualify the Partnership as a limited partnership under the laws of any state or that is necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Tax Matters Partner to ensure that the Partnership will not be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes; a change of the provisions relating to the Incentive Allocation so that such provisions conform to any applicable requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory authorities, so long as such change does not increase the Incentive Allocation; a change (i) that is necessary or desirable to satisfy any requirement, condition or guideline contained in any opinion, directive, order, ruling or regulation of any federal or state agency or contained in any federal or state statute, compliance with any of which the General Partner deems to be in the best interests of the Partnership and the Limited Partners, (ii) that is required or contemplated by this Agreement, or (iii) that is necessary or desirable to implement new regulations published by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to partnership allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit; a change to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provision with respect to the matters or questions arising under this Agreement which will not be inconsistent with the provisions hereof; or a change that does not adversely affect the Limited Partners in any material respect: provided, however that a Limited Partner will not be deemed adversely affected merely because such Limited Partner does not receive the benefit of an amendment that benefits other Limited Partners. 8.6 Investment Representation. Each Limited Partner hereby acknowledges and represents that he acquired his interest in the Partnership for investment purposes only and not with a view to its resale or distribution. 8.7 Notices. All notices, requests or approvals that any party hereto is required or desires to give to the General Partner or to the Partnership shall be in writing signed by or on behalf of the party giving the same and delivered personally or sent overnight express mail by a reputable private carrier or by prepaid registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the Partnership or the General Partner at the principal place of business of the Partnership, or at such other address as the General Partner may specify from time to time in writing.
