& Commercial Licensing Bureau. The original will be returned to your registered office address, unless you enter a different
address in the box on the front of this document.

3. This certificate is to be used for the purpose of forming a domestic limited partnership pursuant to Section 201 of Act 213, P.A. of 1982.

Certificate are not applicable, state "none",
5. Section 1 - The limited partnership name must contain, without abbreviation, the words "limited partnership". The name may not contain
the name of a limited partner (unless the name is also the name of the general partner or the business of the limited partnership had
been carried on under that name before the admission of that limited partner). The name may not contain any word or phrase indicating
or implying that it is organized for a purpose other than described in Section 2 of the Certificate.
6. Section 3(a) - The limited partnership must keep at the office as required by Sec. 105(a)(1) of the Act (1) a current list of the full name
and last known business or residence address of each partner, specifying separately the general partners and limited partners in

Certificates of Limited Partnership and Certificates of Assumed Name together with executed copies of any powers of attorney, (3)

7. Section 10 - This Certificate is effective on the date endorsed "filed" by the Bureau. A later effective date, no more than 90 days after
the date of delivery, may be stated in this section.
8. NOTICE - "Units" and Limited Partnership Certificates - Although the Michigan Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (MRULPA), PA
213 of 1982, does not use the term "unit", documents are frequently submitted which refer to a "unit of interest", "unit of limited
partnership", or a similar phrase. To form a limited partnership, two or more persons execute and file a Certificate of Limited Partnership.
The Certificate must include the name and address of each partner and specify if they are general partners or limited partners.
The use of terminology other than general partner or limited partner in describing the interest of parties in the limited partnership is
confusing. If the term "unit" is used in conjunction with "limited partnership interest", it may be a designation of units of a limited
partnership interest and reflect the intention to create a master limited partnership. The names and addresses of the unit holders would
not be required to be included in the Certificate of Limited Partnership unless the unit holder is also a limited partner. If the names and
addresses of unit holders, other than limited partners, are included in the Certificate of Limited Partnership it will have a negative impact
of the ability to freely trade the units as securities.
9. Section 11 - The Certificate must be signed in ink by each partner.
