Transactions with General Partner and Its Affiliates

6. TRANSACTIONS WITH GENERAL PARTNER AND ITS AFFILIATES:

Pursuant to the terms of the Permanent Manager Agreement (“PMA”) executed in 1993 and renewed for an additional two year term as of January 1, 2015, the General Partner receives a base fee (the “Base Fee”) for managing the Partnership equal to four percent of gross receipts, subject to an initial annual minimum amount of $159,000. The PMA also provides that the Partnership is responsible for reimbursement of the General Partner for office rent and related office overhead (“Expenses”) up to an initial annual maximum of $13,250. Both the Base Fee and Expense reimbursement are subject to annual Consumer Price Index based adjustments. Effective March 1, 2015, the minimum annual Base Fee and the maximum Expense reimbursement increased by 1.62% from the prior year, which represents the allowable annual Consumer Price Index adjustment per the PMA. Therefore, as of March 1, 2015, the minimum annual Base Fee paid by the Partnership was raised to $266,976 and the maximum annual Expense reimbursement was increased to $21,540.

For purposes of computing the four percent overall fee paid to the General Partner, gross receipts include amounts recovered in connection with the misappropriation of assets by the former general partners and their affiliates. To date, the General Partner has received fees from the Partnership totaling $59,729 on the amounts recovered. The fee received from the Partnership on the amounts recovered reduces the minimum monthly Base Fee by that same amount.

 

Amounts paid and/or accrued to the General Partner and its affiliates for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:
