OPINION
CHANDLER, Chancellor.
This case involves a dispute between a limited partner and the general partner of a Delaware limited partnership. The parties ask the Court to resolve the following two issues. One, does the limited partnership agreement permit limited partners to withdraw at will, or did the parties orally amend the agreement to suspend temporarily the limited partners’ withdrawal rights? Two, does the limited partnership agreement permit the general partner to receive fees directly from portfolio companies? These issues are before the Court on cross-motions for summary judgment.
