ARTICLE IX
SERIES
§ 9.01. Series.Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, at any time and from time to time, the General Partner, in its sole discretion, has the power and authority to (i) form separate registered series of partnership interests in the Partnership within the meaning of Section 17-221 of the Delaware Act and (ii) convert any Series formed as a registered series to a protected series. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Series” means any separate registered series of partnership interests in the Partnership formed pursuant to Section 17-221 of the Delaware Act. A Series shall be formed upon the filing by the General Partner of a Certificate of Registered Series for such Series with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The formation of any such Series shall not require the consent of any other person or entity notwithstanding anything in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the General Partner may, without the consent of any other person or entity, take any action necessary to amend this Agreement to reflect the conversion of a Series to a protected series, and the General Partner may file, as applicable, any certificates of conversion of registered series to protected series, in order to effect any such conversion of a registered series to a protected series. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Series shall be enforceable against the assets of such Series (or the general partner associated with such Series) only, and not against the assets of the Partnership generally or any other Series (or any general partner not associated with such Series), and none of the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to the Partnership generally or any other Series shall be enforceable against the assets of such Series (or any general partner associated with such Series who is not also general partner of the Partnership generally or the general partner associated with such other Series, as the case may be).
| - 6 - |
The records maintained for each Series shall account for the assets associated with such Series separately from the other assets of the Partnership, or any other Series, and assets associated with a Series may be held, directly or indirectly, including in the name of the Series or in the name of the Partnership, through a nominee or otherwise. Records maintained for a Series that reasonably identify its assets, including by specific listing, category, type, quantity, computational or allocational formula or procedure (including a percentage or share of any asset or assets) or by any other method where the identity of the assets is objectively determinable, will be deemed to account for the assets associated with the Series separately from the other assets of the Partnership or any other Series. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Series may agree to be liable, including jointly and severally liable, for the obligations of one or more other Series and/or of the Partnership generally, and the Partnership may agree to be liable, including jointly and severally liable, for the obligations of one or more Series. If the General Partner so determines, the General Partner may allocate any assets, debts, liabilities, expenses or other obligations of the Partnership acquired or incurred by the Partnership generally among one or more Series in such percentages and proportions as the General Partner may determine in its sole discretion. The Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership shall contain a notice of the limitation of liabilities of the Series in conformity with Section 17-221 of the Delaware Act. Each provision of this Agreement and each reference herein to the “Partnership” may, except as otherwise expressly provided, be interpreted to mean “the Partnership (including each Series thereof)” or “the Partnership (including any Series thereof)” where the context permits or requires such interpretation, each reference to the “Partnership” may be interpreted on a Series-by-Series basis where context permits or requires such interpretation, and each reference to a “Series” may be interpreted as a reference to the “Partnership generally” where the context permits or requires such interpretation, in each case, as determined by the General Partner in its good faith discretion.
Any Series shall be dissolved, and such Series’ affairs shall be wound up at any time upon (i) the determination by the General Partner in writing that such Series should be dissolved, (ii) any event of withdrawal of the General Partner under the Delaware Act unless the business of the Series is continued without dissolution in accordance with the Delaware Act, (iii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of such Series under Section 17-221 of the Delaware Act, and (iv) the dissolution of the Partnership. The dissolution and winding up of a Series shall not, in it of itself, cause a dissolution of the Partnership or the dissolution of any other Series. The dissolution of a Series shall not affect the limitation on liabilities of such Series or any other Series provided by this Agreement and the Delaware Act. Dissolution of a Series shall be effective on the day of the event of dissolution, but such Series shall not terminate until the assets of the Series have been distributed in accordance with this Agreement and the Certificate of Registered Series of such Series has been cancelled in accordance with the Delaware Act. Upon the dissolution of a Series, the General Partner shall proceed with the winding up of such Series, including the liquidation and distribution of the assets of the Series, and upon completion of the winding up of the Series shall, if applicable, have the authority to, and shall execute and file a certificate of cancellation of the Certificate of Registered Series of such Series in accordance with the Delaware Act and such other documents required to effect and evidence the dissolution and termination of such Series. Dissolution, payment of creditors and distribution of the assets of the Series shall be effected in accordance with the Delaware Act, and, after satisfaction of all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of such Series in accordance with the Delaware Act, the remaining assets of the Partnership shall be distributed to the Partners in the manner provided for in this Agreement.
