II-1
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Subject to any terms, conditions, or restrictions set forth in the partnership agreement, Section 17-108 of the Delaware Revised Uniform
Limited Partnership Act empowers a Delaware limited partnership to indemnify and hold harmless any partner or other persons from and against all claims and demands whatsoever.
Section 7.7(a) of the Registrant's First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership
Agreement") provides that the Registrant will indemnify and hold harmless the following persons (each, an "Indemnitee"), in most circumstances, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all threatened, pending or completed claims, demands, actions, suits or
proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal and including appeals:
•
the General Partner;
•
any departing general partner;
•
any person who is or was an affiliate of the General Partner or any departing general partner;
•
any person who is or was a manager, managing member, general partner, director, officer, fiduciary or trustee of the Registrant, its subsidiaries, the General Partner or any departing general partner or any of their
affiliates;
•
any person who is or was serving at the request of the General Partner or any departing general partner or any of their respective affiliates as a manager, managing member, general partner, director, officer, fiduciary
or trustee of another person owing a fiduciary duty to the Registrant or any of its subsidiaries; and
•
any person the General Partner designates as an indemnitee for purposes of the Partnership Agreement because such person's status, service or relationship exposes such person to potential claims, demands, suits or
proceedings relating to the business and affairs of the Registrant and its subsidiaries.
Any indemnification described
above will be made only out of the Registrant's assets. The General Partner will not be personally liable for such indemnification and will have no obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Registrant to enable the
Registrant to effectuate such indemnification.
Section 7.7(b) of the Partnership Agreement states that to the fullest extent
permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding will, from time to time, be advanced by the Registrant prior to a determination that the Indemnitee
is not entitled to be indemnified upon receipt by the Partnership of any undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by
Section 7.7 of the Partnership Agreement.
The Registrant may purchase and maintain (or reimburse the General Partner or its
affiliates for the cost of) insurance, on behalf of the General Partner, its affiliates and such other persons as the General Partner determines, covering liabilities that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such persons for
the Registrant's activities or such person's activities on behalf of the Registrant, regardless of whether the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the Partnership Agreement.
Subject to any terms, conditions or restrictions set forth in the limited liability company agreement, Section 18-108 of the Delaware
Limited Liability Company Act empowers a Delaware limited liability company to indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever.
II-2
Under the First Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the General Partner (the "LLC
Agreement"), in most circumstances, the General Partner will indemnify will indemnify the following persons, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (joint or several), expenses
(including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative): (i) any
person who is or was an affiliate of the General Partner (other than the Registrant and its subsidiaries); (ii) any person who is or was a manager, member, partner, officer, director, fiduciary or trustee of the General Partner or its
affiliates (other than the Registrant or its subsidiaries); (iii) any person who is or was serving at the request of the General Partner or any affiliate of the General Partner as an officer, director, manager, member, partner, fiduciary or
trustee of another person; and (iv) any person designated by the General Partner.
The General Partner may purchase insurance
covering its officers and directors against liabilities asserted and expenses incurred in connection with their activities as officers and directors of the General Partner or any of its subsidiaries.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See Exhibit List.
Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided,
however,
that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
II-3
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions described under
Item 6 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-4
