with the Original Limited Partner, as applicable) shall be deemed to have made
Capital Contributions to the Partnership in the aggregate amount of the gross
proceeds of such issuance and the Partnership shall be deemed simultaneously to
have paid such offering expenses in accordance with Section 6.05 hereof and in

to have the General Partner or any of its Affiliates provide such Additional
Funds to the Partnership through loans or otherwise.

4.04     CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. A separate capital account (a "CAPITAL ACCOUNT")
shall be established and maintained for each Partner in accordance with
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). If (a) a new or existing Partner acquires
an additional Partnership Interest in exchange for more than a de minimis
Capital Contribution, (b) the Partnership distributes to a Partner more than a
de minimis amount of Partnership property as consideration for the redemption of
a Partnership Interest, or (c) the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning
of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), the General Partner shall revalue
the property of the Partnership to its fair market value (as determined by the
General Partner, in its sole and absolute


                                     - 15 -
<PAGE>

discretion, and taking into account Section 7701(g) of the Code) in accordance
with Regulations Section 1.704- l(b)(2)(iv)(f). When the Partnership's property
is revalued by the General Partner, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall
be adjusted in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and
(g), which generally require such Capital Accounts to be adjusted to reflect the
manner in which the unrealized gain or loss inherent in such property (that has
not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously) would be allocated among
the Partners pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof if there were a taxable disposition
of such property for its fair market value (as determined by the General
Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, and taking into account Section
7701(g) of the Code) on the date of the revaluation.

4.05     PERCENTAGE INTERESTS. If the number of outstanding Partnership Units
increases or decreases during a taxable year, each Partner's Percentage Interest
shall be adjusted by the General Partner effective as of the date of each such
increase or decrease to a percentage equal to the number of Partnership Units
held by such Partner divided by the aggregate number of Partnership Units
outstanding after giving effect to such increase or decrease. In such event, the
General Partner shall revalue the property of the Partnership and the Capital
Account for each Partner shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 4.04 hereof.
If the Partners' Percentage Interests are adjusted pursuant to this Section
4.05, the Profit and Loss for the taxable year in which the adjustment occurs
shall be prorated between the part of the year ending on the day when the
Partnership's property is revalued by the General Partner and the part of the
year beginning on the following day and, as so divided, shall be allocated to
the Partners based on their Percentage Interests before adjustment, and their
adjusted Percentage Interests, respectively, either (a) as if the taxable year
had ended on the date of the adjustment or (b) based on the number of days in
each part. The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall
determine which method shall be used to allocate Profit and Loss for the taxable
year in which an adjustment occurs, as may be required or permitted under
Section 706 of the Code.

4.06     NO INTEREST ON CONTRIBUTIONS. No Partner shall be entitled to interest
on its Capital Contribution.

4.07     RETURN OF CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS. No Partner shall be entitled to
withdraw any part of its Capital Contribution or its Capital Account or to
receive any distribution from the Partnership, except as specifically provided
in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, there shall be no
obligation to return to any Partner or withdrawn Partner any part of such
Partner's Capital Contribution for so long as the Partnership continues in
existence.

4.08     NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY. No creditor or other third party having
dealings with the Partnership shall have the right to enforce the right or
obligation of any Partner to make Capital Contributions or loans or to pursue
any other right or remedy hereunder or at law or in equity, it being understood
and agreed that the provisions of this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit
of, and may be enforced solely by, the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. None of the rights or obligations of the Partners herein
set forth to make Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership shall be
deemed an asset of the Partnership for any purpose by any creditor or other
third party, nor may such rights or obligations be sold, transferred or assigned
by the Partnership or pledged or encumbered by the Partnership to secure any
debt or other obligation of the Partnership or of any of the Partners. In
addition, it is the intent of the parties hereto that no distribution to any
Limited Partner shall be deemed a return of money or other


                                     - 16 -
<PAGE>

property in violation of the Act. However, if any court of competent
jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any
Limited Partner is obligated to return such money or property, such obligation
shall be the obligation of such Limited Partner and not of the General Partner.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a deficit Capital Account of a
Partner shall not be deemed to be a liability of such Partner nor an asset or
property of the Partnership.

                         PROFIT AND LOSS; DISTRIBUTIONS

5.01     ALLOCATION OF PROFIT AND LOSS.

         (a)      After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in
Sections 5.01(b), (c) and (d), Profit for each fiscal year of the Partnership
shall be allocated as follows: (i) first to the Partners, pro rata, in
accordance with and in proportion to their respective Partnership Interests, in
amounts equal to the amount of cash distributed to the Partners pursuant to
Section 5.02(a) hereof with respect to such fiscal year; (ii) second, to the
extent the amount of Profit for such fiscal year exceeds the amount of cash
distributed to the Partners pursuant to Section 5.02(a) hereof, such excess
shall be allocated to the General Partner and the Limited Partners in amounts
and in proportion to the cumulative Loss allocated to the General Partner
pursuant to clause (y) of this Section 5.01(a) and the cumulative Loss allocated
to the Limited Partners pursuant to clause (x) of this Section 5.01(a),
respectively; and (iii) finally, the balance, if any, of Profit shall be
allocated to the Partners in accordance with and in proportion to their
respective Percentage Interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, it is
the intent of the Partners that allocations of Profit to the Limited Partners be
such that the amount of Profit allocated to each Limited Partner be equal to the
amount of income that would have been allocated to such Limited Partner with
respect to the applicable fiscal period if such Limited Partner had owned REIT
Shares equal in number to the number of Partnership Units owned by such Limited
Partner during such fiscal period, and if, for any reason, the foregoing
allocations of Profit result in any material variation from this concept, Profit
shall be allocated to each Limited Partner in an amount equal to the aggregate
amount of income that would have been allocated to such Limited Partner with
respect to the applicable fiscal period if such Limited Partner had owned REIT
Shares equal in number to the number of Partnership Units owned by such Limited
Partner during such fiscal period. After giving effect to the special
allocations set forth in Sections 5.01(b), (c) and (d), Loss for a fiscal year
of the Partnership shall be allocated as follows: (w) first, to the Partners,
pro rata, in accordance with and in proportion to their respective Partnership
Interests, until the cumulative Loss allocated to each Partner under this clause
(w) equals the cumulative Profit allocated to each Partner under clause (ii) of
this Section 5.01(a); (x) second, to the Limited Partners in an amount equal to
each such Limited Partner's Capital Account balance prior to the allocation made
under this clause (x); (y) third, to the General Partner in an amount equal to
the General Partner's Capital Account balance prior to the allocation made under
this clause (y); and (z) fourth, to the General Partner to the extent that any
further allocation of Loss to Limited Partners would result in any such Limited
Partners having a deficit balance in their Capital Accounts.

         (b)      Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, (i) any
expense of the Partnership that is a "nonrecourse deduction" within the meaning
of Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1) shall be allocated in accordance with the
Partners' respective Percentage Interests, (ii) any expense of the Partnership
that is a "partner nonrecourse deduction" within the meaning of Regulations
Section 1.704-2(i)(2) shall be allocated to the Partner that bears the "economic
risk of loss" of such deduction in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-
2(i)(1), (iii) if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain within the
meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(1) for any Partnership taxable year,
then, subject to the exceptions set forth in Regulations


                                     - 18 -
<PAGE>

Section 1.704-2(f)(2), (3), (4) and (5), items of gain and income shall be
allocated among the Partners in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)
and the ordering rules contained in Regulations Section 1.704-2(j), and (iv) if
there is a net decrease in Partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain within the
meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) for any Partnership taxable year,
then, subject to the exceptions set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-2(g),
items of gain and income shall be allocated among the Partners, in accordance
with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and the ordering rules contained in
Regulations Section 1.704-2(j). A Partner's "interest in partnership profits"
for purposes of determining its share of the nonrecourse liabilities of the
Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752- 3(a)(3) shall be
such Partner's Percentage Interest.

         (c)      If a Partner receives in any taxable year an adjustment,
allocation, or distribution described in subparagraphs (4), (5), or (6) of
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) that causes or increases a deficit
balance in such Partner's Capital Account that exceeds the sum of such Partner's
shares of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain, as
determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i),
such Partner shall be allocated specially for such taxable year (and, if
necessary, later taxable years) items of income and gain in an amount and manner
sufficient to eliminate such deficit Capital Account balance as quickly as
possible as provided in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). After the
occurrence of an allocation of income or gain to a Partner in accordance with
this Section 5.01(c), to the extent permitted by Regulations Section 1.704-1(b),
items of expense or loss shall be allocated to such Partner in an amount
necessary to offset the income or gain previously allocated to such Partner
under this Section 5.01(c).

         (d)      Loss shall not be allocated to a Limited Partner to the extent
that such allocation would cause a deficit in such Partner's Capital Account
(after reduction to reflect the items described in Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6)) to exceed the sum of such Partner's shares
of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain. Any Loss
in excess of that limitation shall be allocated to the General Partner. After
the occurrence of an allocation of Loss to the General Partner in accordance
with this Section 5.01(d), to the extent permitted by Regulations Section
1.704-1(b), Profit shall be allocated to the General Partner in an amount
necessary to offset the Loss previously allocated to the General Partner under
this Section 5.01(d).

         (e)      If a Partner transfers any part or all of its Partnership
Interest, the distributive shares of the various items of Profit and Loss
allocable among the Partners during such fiscal year of the Partnership shall be
allocated between the transferor and the transferee Partner either (i) as if the
Partnership's fiscal year had ended on the date of the transfer, or (ii) based
on the number of days of such fiscal year that each was a Partner without regard
to the results of Partnership activities in the respective portions of such
fiscal year in which the transferor and the transferee were Partners. The
General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine which
method shall be used to allocate the distributive shares of the various items of
Profit and Loss between the transferor and the transferee Partner.

         (f)      "PROFIT" and "LOSS" and any items of income, gain, expense, or
loss referred to in this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with
federal income tax accounting principles, as modified by Regulations Section
1.704-(b)(2)(iv), except that Profit and Loss shall not include


                                     - 19 -
<PAGE>

items of income, gain and expense that are specially allocated pursuant to
Sections 5.01(b), 5.01(c), or 5.01(d). All allocations of income, Profit, gain,
Loss, and expense (and all items contained therein) for federal income tax
purposes shall be identical to all allocations of such items set forth in this
Section 5.01, except as otherwise required by Section 704(c) of the Code and
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4). The General Partner shall have the authority,
in its sole and absolute discretion and without the need for consent from any
Partner, to elect the method or methods to be used by the Partnership for
allocating items of income, gain, expense and deductions as required by Section
704(c) of the Code, including election of a method that may result in one or
more Partners receiving or being allocated a disproportionately larger share of
items of Partnership income, gain, expense or deduction, and any such election
shall be binding on all Partners.

5.02     DISTRIBUTIONS OF CASH.

         (a)      The Partnership shall distribute cash on a quarterly (or, at
the election of the General Partner, more frequent) basis, in an amount
determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, to the
Partners who are Partners on the Partnership Record Date with respect to such
quarter (or other distribution period) in the following manner: (i) first, to
the General Partner in an amount equal to the GP Minimum Return with respect to
the fiscal year of the General Partner; (ii) second, to the Limited Partners pro
rata among them in proportion to the their respective Unpaid Return, if any,
owing to each such Limited Partners with respect to prior fiscal years, in an
amount equal to their respective Unpaid Return for such prior fiscal years owing
to each such Limited Partner; (iii) third, after the establishment of reasonable
cash reserves to meet REIT Expenses and other obligations of the Partnership, as
determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner, to the
General Partner and the Limited Partners in such aggregate amount as may be
determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion to be
allocated among the General Partner and the Limited Partners such that each
Limited Partner will receive an amount equal to its LP Return for such fiscal
year; and (iv) finally, to the Partners in accordance with and in proportion to
their respective Percentage Interests; provided, however, that if a new or
existing Partner acquires an additional Partnership Interest in exchange for a
Capital Contribution on any date other than a Partnership Record Date, the cash
distribution attributable to such additional Partnership Interest relating to
the Partnership Record Date next following the issuance of such additional
Partnership Interest shall be reduced to the proportion thereof which equals (i)
the number of days that such additional Partnership Interest is held by such
Partner divided by (ii) the number of days between such Partnership Record Date
and the immediately preceding Partnership Record Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, the Original Limited Partner may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, elect to defer any distribution to be made to it, in which case the
amount so deferred shall be deemed to be an additional Capital Contribution made
on behalf of the Original Limited Partner under Section 4.02(c) hereof, to be
distributed to the Original Limited Partner upon liquidation of the Partnership
under Section 5.06 hereof, or at such time as the Original Limited Partner may
otherwise be allowed to withdraw from the Partnership after the Transfer
Restriction Date.

         (b)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
General Partner is authorized to take any action that it determines to be
necessary or appropriate to cause the Partnership to comply with any withholding
requirements established under the Code or any other federal, state or local law
including, without limitation, the requirements of Sections 1441,


                                     - 20 -
<PAGE>

1442, 1445 and 1446 of the Code. To the extent that the Partnership is required
to withhold and pay over to any taxing authority any amount resulting from the
allocation or distribution of income to a Partner or its assignee (including by
reason of Section 1446 of the Code), either (i) if the actual amount to be
distributed to the Partner or assignee equals or exceeds the amount required to
be withheld by the Partnership, the amount withheld shall be treated as a
distribution of cash in the amount of such withholding to such Partner or
assignee, or (ii) if the actual amount to be distributed to the Partner or
assignee is less than the amount required to be withheld by the Partnership, the
amount required to be withheld shall be treated as a loan (a "PARTNERSHIP LOAN")
from the Partnership to the Partner or assignee on the day the Partnership pays
over such amount to a taxing authority. A Partnership Loan shall be repaid
through withholding by the Partnership with respect to subsequent distributions
to the applicable Partner or assignee. In the event that a Limited Partner (a
"DEFAULTING LIMITED PARTNER") fails to pay any amount owed to the Partnership
with respect to the Partnership Loan within 15 days after demand for payment
thereof is made by the Partnership on the Limited Partner, the General Partner,
in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to make the payment to the
Partnership on behalf of such Defaulting Limited Partner. In such event, on the
date of payment, the General Partner shall be deemed to have extended a loan (a
"GENERAL PARTNER LOAN") to the Defaulting Limited Partner in the amount of the
payment made by the General Partner and shall succeed to all rights and remedies
of the Partnership against the Defaulting Limited Partner as to that amount.
Without limitation, the General Partner shall have the right to receive any
distributions that otherwise would be made by the Partnership to the Defaulting
Limited Partner until such time as the General Partner Loan has been paid in
full, and any such distributions so received by the General Partner shall be
treated as having been received by the Defaulting Limited Partner and
immediately paid to the General Partner. Any amounts treated as a Partnership
Loan or a General Partner Loan pursuant to this Section 5.02(b) shall bear
interest at the lesser of (A) the base rate on corporate loans at large United
States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in The Wall
Street Journal, or (B) the maximum lawful rate of interest on such obligation,
such interest to accrue from the date the Partnership or the General Partner, as
applicable, is deemed to extend the loan until such loan is repaid in full.

         (c)      To the extent not utilized for expenses of the Partnership or
for investment in additional Properties, the General Partner may, in its
discretion, cause the Partnership to distribute Net Capital Proceeds in such
amount as shall be determined by the General Partner in its discretion in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.02(a) hereof.

         (d)      In no event may a Partner receive a distribution of cash with
respect to a Partnership Unit if such Partner is entitled to receive a cash
dividend as the holder of record of a REIT Share for which all or part of such
Partnership Unit has been or will be exchanged, and the Unpaid Return with
respect to such Partnership Unit shall be deemed to be reduced by the amount of
any such cash dividend.


                                     - 21 -
<PAGE>

5.03     REIT DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS. The General Partner shall use its
reasonable efforts to cause the Partnership to distribute amounts sufficient to
enable the General Partner to pay stockholder dividends that will allow the
General Partner to (a) meet its distribution requirement for qualification as a
REIT as set forth in Section 857 of the Code and (b) avoid any federal income or
excise tax liability imposed by the Code.

5.04     NO RIGHT TO DISTRIBUTIONS IN KIND. No Partner shall be entitled to
demand property other than cash in connection with any distributions by the
Partnership.

5.05     LIMITATIONS ON RETURN OF CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS. Notwithstanding any of
the provisions of this Article V, no Partner shall have the right to receive and
the General Partner shall not have the right to make a distribution that
includes a return of all or part of a Partner's Capital Contributions, unless
after giving effect to the return of a Capital Contribution, the sum of all
Partnership liabilities, other than the liabilities to a Partner for the return
of its Capital Contribution, does not exceed the fair market value of the
Partnership's assets.

5.06     DISTRIBUTIONS UPON LIQUIDATION. Upon liquidation of the Partnership,
after payment of, or adequate provision for, debts and obligations of the
Partnership, including any Partner loans, any remaining assets of the
Partnership shall be distributed to all Partners with positive Capital Accounts
in accordance with their respective positive Capital Account balances. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, the Capital Account of each Partner shall be
determined after all adjustments made in accordance with Sections 5.01 and 5.02
resulting from Partnership operations and from all sales and dispositions of all
or any part of the Partnership's assets have been made. To the extent deemed
advisable by the General Partner, appropriate arrangements (including the use of
a liquidating trust) may be made to assure that adequate funds are available to
pay any contingent debts or obligations.

5.07     SUBSTANTIAL ECONOMIC EFFECT. It is the intent of the Partners that the
allocations of Profit and Loss under this Agreement have substantial economic
effect (or be consistent with the Partners' interests in the Partnership in the
case of the allocation of losses attributable to nonrecourse debt) within the
meaning of Section 704(b) of the Code as interpreted by the Regulations
promulgated pursuant thereto. Article V and other relevant provisions of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent.

                             RIGHTS, OBLIGATIONS AND
                          POWERS OF THE GENERAL PARTNER

6.01     MANAGEMENT OF THE PARTNERSHIP.

         (a)      Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the
General Partner shall have full, complete and exclusive discretion to manage and
control the business of the Partnership for the purposes herein stated, and
shall make all decisions affecting the business and assets of the Partnership.
Subject to the restrictions specifically contained in this Agreement, the powers
and obligations, as the context requires, of the General Partner shall include,
without limitation, the authority to take the following actions on behalf of the
Partnership:

         indebtedness by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge or other lien on the
         Partnership's assets;

         limitation, cash on hand) for any purpose consistent with this
         Agreement, including, without limitation, payment, either directly or
         by reimbursement, of all operating costs and general administrative

         portion of the Partnership's assets so leased are to be occupied by the
         lessee, or, in turn, subleased in whole or in part to others, for such
         consideration and on such terms as the General Partner may determine;

                  (ix)     to prosecute, defend, arbitrate, or compromise any

         determine, and similarly, to prosecute, settle or defend litigation
         with respect to the Partners, the Partnership, or the Partnership's
         assets;

         promptly all federal, state and local income tax returns on behalf of
         the Partnership;

                  (xviii)  to distribute Partnership cash or other Partnership
         assets in accordance with this Agreement;

                  (xix)    to form or acquire an interest in, and contribute
         property to, any further limited or general partnerships, joint
         ventures, limited liability companies or other entities or
         relationships that it deems desirable (including, without limitation,
         the acquisition of interests in, and the contributions of property to,
         its Subsidiaries and any other Person in which it has an equity
         interest from time to time);

                  (xx)     to establish Partnership reserves for working
         capital, capital expenditures, contingent liabilities, or any other
         valid Partnership purpose;

                  (xxi)    to merge, consolidate or combine the Partnership with
         or into another Person;



                                     - 24 -
<PAGE>

                  (xxii)   to do any and all acts and things necessary or
         prudent to ensure that the Partnership will not be classified as a
         "publicly traded partnership" for purposes of Section 7704 of the Code;
         and

                  (xxiii)  to take such other action, execute, acknowledge,
         swear to or deliver such other documents and instruments, and perform
         any and all other acts that the General Partner deems necessary or
         appropriate for the formation, continuation and conduct of the business
         and affairs of the Partnership (including, without limitation, all
         actions consistent with allowing the General Partner at all times to
         qualify as a REIT unless the General Partner voluntarily terminates its
         REIT status) and to possess and enjoy all of the rights and powers of a
         general partner as provided by the Act.

         (b)      Except as otherwise provided herein, to the extent the duties
of the General Partner require expenditures of funds to be paid to third
parties, the General Partner shall not have any obligations hereunder except to
apply Partnership funds to the extent that Partnership funds are reasonably
available to it for the performance of such duties, and nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to authorize or require the General Partner, in its capacity as
such, to expend its individual funds for payment to third parties or to
undertake any individual liability or obligation on behalf of the Partnership.

6.02     DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY. The General Partner may delegate any or all of
its powers, rights and obligations hereunder, and may appoint, employ, contract
or otherwise deal with any Person (including without limitation officers or
other agents of the Partnership or the General Partner appointed by the General
Partner) for the transaction of the business of the Partnership, which Person
may, under supervision of the General Partner, perform any acts or services for
the Partnership as the General Partner may approve.

6.03     INDEMNIFICATION AND EXCULPATION OF INDEMNITEES.


         (a)      The Partnership shall indemnify an Indemnitee from and against
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses
(including reasonable legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements,
and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or
proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to
the operations of the Partnership as set forth in this Agreement in which any
Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or
otherwise, as a result of acting on behalf of or performing services for the
Partnership, only if it is determined that (i) the Indemnitee acted in good
faith and (ii) that the Indemnitee reasonably believed that the act or omission
was in the Partnership's best interests, or if the act or omission was outside
the Indemnitee's official capacity as a general partner of the Partnership, that
the act or omission was at least not opposed to the Partnership's best
interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee shall be liable,
responsible and accountable, and the Partnership shall not be liable to an
Indemnitee, other than for reasonable expenses actually incurred by the
Indemnitee with respect to a proceeding in which (i) the Indemnitee is found
liable on the basis that the Indemnitee improperly received personal benefit,
whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken in the Indemnitee's
official capacity, or (ii) the Indemnitee is found liable to the Partnership or
the Limited Partners. The Partnership shall not indemnify or hold harmless the
Indemnitee: (a) in the case in which the Indemnitee is an Independent Director,
if the loss or



                                     - 25 -
<PAGE>

liability was the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the
Indemnitee, or (b) in any other case, if the loss or liability was the result of
negligence or misconduct by the Indemnitee. The termination of any proceeding by
judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee
did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section
6.03(a). The termination of any proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to
judgment, does not alone determine that the Indemnitee acted in a manner
contrary to that specified in this Section 6.03(a). Any indemnification pursuant
to this Section 6.03 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership.



         (b)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, the Partnership shall not provide
indemnification for any loss, liability or expense arising from or out of an
alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by an Indemnitee unless
one or more of the following conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful
adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law
violations as to the particular Indemnitee, (ii) such claims have been dismissed
with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the
particular Indemnitee, or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a
settlement of the claims against a particular Indemnitee and finds that
indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the
court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the
position of the SEC and of the published position of any state securities
regulatory authority in which securities of the Partnership were offered or sold
as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.



         (c)      The Partnership shall pay or reimburse reasonable legal
expenses and other costs incurred by an Indemnitee in advance of final
disposition of a proceeding if all of the following are satisfied: (i) the
proceeding relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of
duties for services on behalf of the Partnership, (ii) the Indemnitee provides
the Partnership with written affirmation of the Indemnitee's good faith belief
that the Indemnitee has met the standard of conduct necessary for
indemnification by the Partnership as authorized in this Section 6.03, (iii) the
legal proceeding was initiated by a third party who is not a stockholder of the
General Partner or, if by a stockholder of the General Partner acting in his or
her capacity as such, a court of competent jurisdiction approves such
advancement, and (iv) the Indemnitee provides the Partnership with a written
agreement to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Partnership, together
with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, if it is ultimately
determined that the Indemnitee did not comply with the requisite standard of
conduct and is not entitled to indemnification.



         (d)      The Indemnification provided by this Section 6.03 shall be in
addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be
entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter
of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to
serve in such capacity.



         (e)      The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance or
establish other arrangements, including without limitation trust arrangements
and letters of credit on behalf of or to secure indemnification obligations owed
to the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine
against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be
incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership's activities,
regardless of



                                     - 26 -
<PAGE>

whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against
such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.


         (f)      For purposes of this Section 6.03, (i) the Partnership shall
be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as a fiduciary of an employee
benefit plan whenever the performance by the Indemnitee of its duties to the
Partnership also imposes duties on the Indemnitee, or otherwise involves
services by the Indemnitee to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the
plan; (ii) excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee
benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute fines within the
meaning of this Section 6.03; and (iii) actions taken or omitted by the
Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of its
duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the interest of the
participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose
which is not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership.



         (g)      In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Limited Partners to
personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this
Agreement.



         (h)      An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or
in part under this Section 6.03 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the
transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction
was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.



         (i)      The provisions of this Section 6.03 are for the benefit of the
Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not
be deemed to create any rights in or be for the benefit of any other Persons.


6.04     LIABILITY OF THE GENERAL PARTNER.

         (a)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement, the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages to the
Partnership or any Partners for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a
result of errors in judgment or any act or omission if the General Partner acted
in good faith. The General Partner shall not be in breach of any duty that the
General Partner may owe to the Limited Partners or the Partnership or any other
Persons under this Agreement or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity,
provided, the General Partner, acting in good faith, abides by the terms of this
Agreement. In addition, to the extent the General Partner or any officer,
director, employee, agent or stockholder of the General Partner performs its
duties in accordance with the standards provided by the Act, as it may be
amended from time to time, or under any successor statute thereto, such Person
or Persons shall have no liability by reason of being or having been the General
Partner, or by reason of being an officer, director, employee, agent or
stockholder of the General Partner. To the maximum extent that the Act and the
general laws of the State of Texas, in effect from time to time, permit
limitation of the liability of general partners of a limited partnership, the
General Partner and its officers, directors, employees, agents and stockholders
shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for money damages
except to the extent that (i) the General Partner or its officers, directors,
employees, agents or stockholders actually received an improper benefit or
profit in money, property or services, in which case the liability shall not
exceed the amount of the benefit or profit in money, property or services
actually received; or (ii) a judgment or other final


                                     - 27 -
<PAGE>

adjudication adverse to the General Partner or one or more of its officers,
directors, employees, agents or stockholders is entered in a proceeding based on
a finding in the proceeding that the action or failure to act of the General
Partner or one or more of its officers, directors, employees, agents or
stockholders was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material
to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding. Neither the amendment nor
repeal of this Section 6.04(a), nor the adoption or amendment of any other
provision of this Agreement inconsistent with this Section 6.04(a), shall apply
to or affect in any respect the applicability of the preceding sentence with
respect to any act or failure to act which occurred prior to such amendment,
repeal or adoption. In the absence of any Texas statute limiting the liability
of the General Partner or its directors or officers for money damages in a suit
by or on behalf of the Partnership or by any Partner, the General Partner and
the officers, directors, employees, agents and stockholders of the General
Partner shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for money
damages except to the extent that (i) the General Partner or one or more of its
officers, directors, employees, agents or stockholders actually received an
improper benefit or profit in money, property or services, in which case the
liability shall not exceed the amount of the benefit or profit in money,
property or services actually received; or (ii) a judgment or other final
adjudication adverse to the General Partner or one or more of its officers,
directors, employees, agents or stockholders is entered in a proceeding based on
a finding in the proceeding that the action of the General Partner or one or
more of its officers, directors, employees or stockholders action or failure to
act was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the
cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding.

         (b)      The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the General
Partner is acting on behalf of the Partnership, itself and its stockholders
collectively, that the General Partner is under no obligation to consider the
separate interests of the Limited Partners (including, without limitation, the
tax consequences to Limited Partners or the tax consequences of some, but not
all, of the Limited Partners) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to
take (or decline to take) any actions. In the event of a conflict between the
interests of its stockholders on the one hand and the Limited Partners on the
other, the General Partner shall endeavor in good faith to resolve the conflict
in a manner not adverse to either its stockholders or the Limited Partners;
provided, however, that for so long as the General Partner directly owns a
controlling interest in the Partnership, any such conflict that the General
Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines cannot be resolved in a
manner not adverse to either its stockholders or the Limited Partners shall be
resolved in favor of its stockholders. The General Partner shall not be liable
for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not
derived by Limited Partners in connection with such decisions, provided that the
General Partner has acted in good faith.

         (c)      Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner set
forth in Section 6.01 hereof, the General Partner may exercise any of the powers
granted to it under this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it
hereunder either directly or by or through its agents. The General Partner shall
not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such
agent appointed by it in good faith.

         (d)      Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or the
Act, any action of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or any
decision of the General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the
Partnership, undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or


                                     - 28 -
<PAGE>

omission is necessary or advisable in order to (i) protect the ability of the
General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or (ii) prevent the General
Partner from incurring any taxes under Section 857, Section 4981, or any other
provision of the Code, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is
deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners.

         (e)      Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.04 or
any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect
the limitations on the General Partner's liability to the Partnership and the
Limited Partners under this Section 6.04 as in effect immediately prior to such
amendment, modification or repeal with respect to matters occurring, in whole or
in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when
claims relating to such matters may arise or be asserted.

6.05     REIMBURSEMENT OF GENERAL PARTNER.

         (a)      Except as provided in this Section 6.05 and elsewhere in this
Agreement (including the provisions of Articles V and VI regarding
distributions, payments, and allocations to which it may be entitled), the
General Partner shall not be compensated for its services as general partner of
the Partnership.

         (b)      The General Partner shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis, or
such other basis as the General Partner may determine in its sole and absolute
discretion, for all REIT Expenses and Administrative Expenses.

6.06     OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES. Subject to Section 6.08 hereof, the Articles of
Incorporation and any agreements entered into by the General Partner or its
Affiliates with the Partnership or a Subsidiary, or any officer, director,
employee, agent, trustee, Affiliate or stockholder of the General Partner, the
General Partner shall be entitled to and may have business interests and engage
in business activities in addition to those relating to the Partnership,
including business interests and activities substantially similar or identical
to those of the Partnership. Neither the Partnership nor any of the Limited
Partners shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any such business
ventures, interests or activities. None of the Limited Partners or any other
Person shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership
relationship established hereby in any such business ventures, interests or
activities, and the General Partner shall have no obligation pursuant to this
Agreement to offer any interest in any such business ventures, interests and
activities to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, even if such opportunity
is of a character which. if presented to the Partnership or any Limited Partner,
could be taken by such Person.

6.07     EMPLOYMENT OR RETENTION OF AFFILIATES.

         (a)      Any Affiliate of the General Partner may be employed or
retained by the Partnership and may otherwise deal with the Partnership (whether
as an advisor, buyer, lessor, lessee, manager, property management agent, asset
manager, furnisher of goods or services, broker, agent, lender or otherwise) and
may receive from the Partnership any compensation, price, or other payment
therefor which the General Partner determines to be fair and reasonable.

         (b)      The Partnership may lend or contribute to its Subsidiaries or
other Persons in which it has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow
funds from the Partnership, on


                                     - 29 -
<PAGE>

terms and conditions established in the sole and absolute discretion of the
General Partner. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit
in favor of any Subsidiary or any other Person.

         (c)      The Partnership may transfer assets to joint ventures, limited
liability companies, other partnerships, corporations or other business entities
in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to
such conditions as the General Partner deems to be consistent with this
Agreement and applicable law.

         (d)      Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, neither the
General Partner nor any of its Affiliates shall sell, transfer or convey any
property to, or purchase any property from, the Partnership, directly or
indirectly, except pursuant to transactions that are on terms that are fair and
reasonable to the Partnership.

6.08     GENERAL PARTNER PARTICIPATION. The General Partner agrees that all
business activities of the General Partner, including activities pertaining to
the acquisition, development or ownership of commercial real property or other
property, including Mortgages, shall be conducted through the Partnership or one
or more Subsidiary Partnerships; provided, however, that the General Partner is
allowed to make a direct acquisition, but if and only if, such acquisition is
made in connection with the issuance of Additional Securities, which direct
acquisition and issuance have been approved and determined to be in the best
interests of the General Partner and the Partnership by a majority of the
Independent Directors.

6.09     TITLE TO PARTNERSHIP ASSETS. Partnership assets, whether real, personal
or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the
Partnership as an entity, and no Partner, individually or collectively, shall
have any ownership interest in such Partnership assets or any portion thereof;
provided, that title to any or all of the Partnership assets may be held in the
name of the Partnership, the General Partner or one or more nominees, as the
General Partner may determine, including Affiliates of the General Partner. The
General Partner hereby declares and warrants that any Partnership assets for
which legal title is held in the name of the General Partner or any nominee or
Affiliate of the General Partner shall be held by such Person for the use and
benefit of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;
provided, that the General Partner shall use its best efforts to cause legal
title to such assets to be vested in the Partnership as soon as reasonably
practicable. All Partnership assets shall be recorded as the property of the
Partnership in its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal
title to such Partnership assets is held.

6.10     MISCELLANEOUS. In the event the General Partner redeems any REIT
Shares, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to purchase from
the General Partner or the Original Limited Partner a number of Partnership
Units determined by, and based upon, the application of the Conversion Factor on
the same terms upon which the General Partner redeemed such REIT Shares.
Moreover, if the General Partner makes a cash tender offer or other offer to
acquire REIT Shares, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to
make a corresponding offer to the General Partner or the Original Limited
Partner to acquire an equal number of Partnership Units held by the General
Partner. In the event any REIT Shares are redeemed by the General Partner
pursuant to such offer, the Partnership shall redeem an equivalent number of the
General


                                     - 30 -
<PAGE>

Partner's or the Original Limited Partner's Partnership Units for an equivalent
purchase price based on the application of the Conversion Factor.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                           CHANGES IN GENERAL PARTNER

7.01     TRANSFER OF THE GENERAL PARTNER'S PARTNERSHIP INTEREST.

         (a)      The General Partner shall not transfer all or any portion of
its General Partnership Interest or withdraw as General Partner except as
provided in or in connection with a transaction contemplated by Sections
7.01(c), 7.01(d) or 7.01(e).

         (b)      The General Partner agrees that the Percentage Interest for it
will at all times, be in the aggregate, at least 0.1%.

         (c)      Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01(d) or (e) hereof,
the General Partner shall not engage in any merger, consolidation or other
combination with or into another Person or sale of all or substantially all of
its assets (other than in connection with a change in the General Partner's
state of incorporation or organizational form), which, in any such case, results
in a change of control of the General Partner (a "TRANSACTION"), unless:

                  (i)      the consent of Limited Partners holding more than 50%
         of the Percentage Interests of the Limited Partners is obtained; or

                  (ii)     as a result of such Transaction all Limited Partners
         are granted the right to receive for each Partnership Unit an amount of
         cash, securities, or other property equal to the product of the
         Conversion Factor and the greatest amount of cash, securities or other
         property paid in the Transaction to a holder of one REIT Share in
         consideration of the transfer of one REIT Share; provided, that if, in
         connection with the Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer
         ("OFFER") shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of more
         than 50% of the outstanding REIT Shares, each holder of Partnership
         Units shall be given the option to exchange its Partnership Units for
         the greatest amount of cash, securities, or other property which a
         Limited Partner would have received had it (A) exercised its Exchange
         Right and (B) sold, tendered or exchanged pursuant to the Offer the
         REIT Shares received upon exercise of the Exchange Right immediately
         prior to the expiration of the Offer; or

                  (iii)    the General Partner is the surviving entity in the
         Transaction and either (A) the holders of REIT Shares do not receive
         cash, securities, or other property in the Transaction or (B) all
         Limited Partners (other than the General Partner or any Subsidiary)
         receive an amount of cash, securities, or other property (expressed as
         an amount per REIT Share) that is no less than the product of the
         Conversion Factor and the greatest amount of cash, securities, or other
         property (expressed as an amount per REIT Share) received in the
         Transaction by any holder of REIT Shares.

         (d)      Notwithstanding Section 7.01(c), the General Partner may merge
with or into or consolidate with another entity if immediately after such merger
or consolidation (i) substantially


                                     - 31 -
<PAGE>

all of the assets of the successor or surviving entity (the "Survivor"), other
than Partnership Units held by the General Partner, are contributed, directly or
indirectly, to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution in exchange for
Partnership Units with a fair market value equal to the value of the assets so
contributed as determined by the Survivor in good faith and (ii) the Survivor
expressly agrees to assume all obligations of the General Partner, as
appropriate, hereunder. Upon such contribution and assumption, the Survivor
shall have the right and duty to amend this Agreement as set forth in this
Section 7.01(d). The Survivor shall in good faith arrive at a new method for the
calculation of the Cash Amount, the REIT Shares Amount and the Conversion Factor
for a Partnership Unit after any such merger or consolidation so as to
approximate the existing method for such calculation as closely as reasonably
possible. Such calculation shall take into account, among other things, the kind
and amount of securities, cash and other property that was receivable upon such
merger or consolidation by a holder of REIT Shares or options, warrants or other
rights relating thereto, and which a holder of Partnership Units could have
acquired had such Partnership Units been exchanged immediately prior to such
merger or consolidation. Such amendment to this Agreement shall provide for
adjustments to such method of calculation, which shall be as nearly equivalent
as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for herein with respect to the
Conversion Factor. The Survivor also shall in good faith modify the definition
of REIT Shares and make such amendments to Section 8.05 hereof so as to
approximate the existing rights and obligations set forth in Section 8.05 as
closely as reasonably possible. The above provisions of this Section 7.01(d)
shall similarly apply to successive mergers or consolidations permitted
hereunder.

         In respect of any transaction described in the preceding paragraph, the
General Partner is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to
structure such transaction to avoid causing the Limited Partners to recognize a
gain for federal income tax purposes by virtue of the occurrence of or their
participation in such transaction, provided, such efforts are consistent with
the exercise of the Board of Directors' fiduciary duties to the stockholders of
the General Partner under applicable law.

         (e)      Notwithstanding Section 7.01(c),

                  (i)      a General Partner may transfer all or any portion of
         its General Partnership Interest to (A) a wholly-owned Subsidiary of
         such General Partner or (B) the owner of all of the ownership interests
         of such General Partner, and following a transfer of all of its General
         Partnership Interest, may withdraw as General Partner; and

                  (ii)     the General Partner may engage in a transaction not
         required by law or by the rules of any national securities exchange on
         which the REIT Shares are listed to be submitted to the vote of the
         holders of the REIT Shares.

7.02     ADMISSION OF A SUBSTITUTE OR ADDITIONAL GENERAL PARTNER. A Person shall
be admitted as a substitute or additional General Partner of the Partnership
only if the following terms and conditions are satisfied:

         (a)      the Person to be admitted as a substitute or additional
General Partner shall have accepted and agreed to be bound by all the terms and
provisions of this Agreement by executing a counterpart hereof and such other
documents or instruments as may be required or appropriate


                                     - 32 -
<PAGE>

in order to effect the admission of such Person as a General Partner, a
certificate evidencing the admission of such Person as a General Partner shall
have been filed for recordation and all other actions required by Section 2.05
hereof in connection with such admission shall have been performed;

         (b)      if the Person to be admitted as a substitute or additional
General Partner is a corporation or a partnership, it shall have provided the
Partnership with evidence satisfactory to counsel for the Partnership of such
Person's authority to become a General Partner and to be bound by the terms and
provisions of this Agreement; and

         (c)      counsel for the Partnership shall have rendered an opinion
(relying on such opinions from other counsel in the state or any other
jurisdiction as may be necessary) that the admission of the Person to be
admitted as a substitute or additional General Partner is in conformity with the
Act, and that none of the actions taken in connection with the admission of such
Person as a substitute or additional General Partner will cause (i) the
Partnership to be classified other than as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes, or (ii) the loss of any Limited Partner's limited liability.

7.03     EFFECT OF BANKRUPTCY, WITHDRAWAL, DEATH OR DISSOLUTION OF A GENERAL
PARTNER.

         (a)      Upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to a General
Partner (and its removal pursuant to Section 7.04(a) hereof) or the death,
withdrawal, removal or dissolution of a General Partner (except that, if a
General Partner is, on the date of such occurrence a partnership, the
withdrawal, death, dissolution, Event of Bankruptcy as to, or removal of a
partner in, such partnership shall be deemed not to be a dissolution of such
General Partner if the business of such General Partner is continued by the
remaining partner or partners thereof), the Partnership shall be dissolved and
terminated unless the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 7.03(b)
hereof. The merger of the General Partner with or into any entity that is
admitted as a substitute or successor General Partner pursuant to Section 7.02
hereof shall not be deemed to be the withdrawal, dissolution or removal of the
General Partner.

         (b)      Following the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to a
General Partner (and its removal pursuant to Section 7.04(a) hereof) or the
death, withdrawal, removal or dissolution of a General Partner (except that, if
a General Partner is, on the date of such occurrence a partnership, the
withdrawal, death, dissolution, Event of Bankruptcy as to, or removal of a
partner in, such partnership shall be deemed not to be a dissolution of such
General Partner if the business of such General Partner is continued by the
remaining partner or partners thereof), the Limited Partners, within 90 days
after such occurrence, may elect to continue the business of the Partnership for
the balance of the term specified in Section 2.04 hereof by selecting, subject
to Section 7.02 hereof and any other provisions of this Agreement, a substitute
General Partner by consent of a majority in interest of the Limited Partners. If
the Limited Partners elect to continue the business of the Partnership and admit
a substitute General Partner, the relationship with the Partners and of any
Person who has acquired an interest of a Partner in the Partnership shall be
governed by this Agreement.

7.04     REMOVAL OF A GENERAL PARTNER.

         (a)      Upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to, or the
dissolution of, a General Partner, such General Partner shall be deemed to be
removed automatically; provided, however, that if a General Partner is on the
date of such occurrence a partnership, the withdrawal, death, dissolution, Event
of Bankruptcy as to or removal of a partner in such partnership shall be deemed
not to be a dissolution of the General Partner if the business of such General
Partner is continued by the remaining partner or partners thereof. The Limited
Partners may not remove the General Partner, with or without cause.

         (b)      If a General Partner has been removed pursuant to this Section
7.04 and the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 7.03 hereof, such
General Partner shall promptly transfer and assign its General Partnership
Interest in the Partnership to the substitute General Partner approved by a
majority in interest of the Limited Partners in accordance with Section 7.03(b)
hereof and otherwise admitted to the Partnership in accordance with Section 7.02
hereof. At the time of assignment, the removed General Partner shall be entitled
to receive from the substitute General Partner the fair market value of the
General Partnership Interest of such removed General Partner as reduced by any
damages caused to the Partnership by such General Partner's removal. Such fair
market value shall be determined by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the
General Partner and Limited Partners holding more than 50% of the Percentage
Interests of the Limited Partners within 10 days following the removal of the
General Partner. In the event that the parties are unable to agree upon an
appraiser, the removed General Partner and Limited Partners holding more than
50% of the Percentage Interests of the Limited Partners shall each select an
appraiser. Each such appraiser shall complete an appraisal of the fair market
value of the removed General Partner's General Partnership Interest within 30
days of the General Partner's removal, and the fair market value of the removed
General Partner's General Partnership Interest shall be the average of the two
appraisals; provided, however, that if the higher appraisal exceeds the lower
appraisal by more than 20% of the amount of the lower appraisal, the two
appraisers, no later than 40 days after the removal of the General Partner,
shall select a third appraiser who shall complete an appraisal of the fair
market value of the removed General Partner's General Partnership Interest no
later than 60 days after the removal of the General Partner. In such case, the
fair market value of the removed General Partner's General Partnership Interest
shall be the average of the two appraisals closest in value.

         (c)      The General Partnership Interest of a removed General Partner,
during the time after removal until the date of transfer under Section 7.04(b),
shall be converted to that of a special Limited Partner; provided, however, such
removed General Partner shall not have any rights to participate in the
management and affairs of the Partnership, and shall not be entitled to any
portion of the income, expense, Profit, gain or Loss allocations or cash
distributions allocable or payable, as the case may be, to the Limited Partners.
Instead, such removed General Partner shall receive and be entitled only to
retain distributions or allocations of such items that it would have been
entitled to receive in its capacity as General Partner, until the transfer is
effective pursuant to Section 7.04(b).

         (d)      All Partners shall have given and hereby do give such
consents, shall take such actions and shall execute such documents as shall be
legally necessary and sufficient to effect all the foregoing provisions of this
Section 7.04.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                             RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
                             OF THE LIMITED PARTNERS

8.01     MANAGEMENT OF THE PARTNERSHIP. The Limited Partners shall not
participate in the management or control of Partnership business nor shall they
transact any business for or on behalf of the Partnership, nor shall they have
the power to sign for or bind the Partnership, such powers being vested solely
and exclusively in the General Partner.

8.02     POWER OF ATTORNEY. Each Limited Partner hereby irrevocably appoints the
General Partner its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, who may act for each
Limited Partner and in its name, place and stead, and for its use and benefit,
sign, acknowledge, swear to, deliver, file or record, at the appropriate public
offices, any and all documents, certificates, and instruments as may be deemed
necessary or desirable by the General Partner to carry out fully the provisions
of this Agreement and the Act in accordance with their terms, which power of
attorney is coupled with an interest and shall survive the death, dissolution or
legal incapacity of the Limited Partner, or the transfer by the Limited Partner
of any part or all of its Partnership Interest.

8.03     LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF LIMITED PARTNERS. No Limited Partner shall
be liable for any debts, liabilities, contracts or obligations of the
Partnership. A Limited Partner shall be liable to the Partnership only to make
payments of its Capital Contribution, if any, as and when due hereunder. After
its Capital Contribution is fully paid, no Limited Partner shall, except as
otherwise required by the Act, be required to make any further Capital
Contributions or other payments or lend any funds to the Partnership.

8.04     OWNERSHIP BY LIMITED PARTNER OF CORPORATE GENERAL PARTNER OR AFFILIATE.
No Limited Partner shall at any time, either directly or indirectly, own any
stock or other interest in the General Partner or in any Affiliate thereof, if
such ownership by itself or in conjunction with other stock or other interests
owned by other Limited Partners would, in the opinion of counsel for the
Partnership, jeopardize the classification of the Partnership as a partnership
for federal income tax purposes. The General Partner shall be entitled to make
such reasonable inquiry of the Limited Partners as is required to establish
compliance by the Limited Partners with the provisions of this Section 8.04.

8.05     EXCHANGE RIGHT.

         (a)      Subject to Sections 8.05(b), 8.05(c), 8.05(d) and 8.05(e)
hereof, and subject to the potential modification of any rights or obligations
provided for herein by agreement(s) between the Partnership and any one or more
Limited Partners with respect to Partnership Units held by them, each Limited
Partner shall have the right (the "EXCHANGE RIGHT") to require the Partnership
to redeem on a Specified Exchange Date all or a portion of the Partnership Units
held by such Limited Partner at an exchange price equal to and in the form of
the Cash Amount to be paid by the Partnership; provided, that such Partnership
Units shall have been outstanding for at least one year. The Exchange Right
shall be exercised pursuant to the delivery of an Exchange Notice to the
Partnership (with a copy to the General Partner) by the Limited Partner who is
exercising the Exchange Right (the "EXCHANGING PARTNER"); provided, however,
that the


                                     - 35 -
<PAGE>

Partnership shall not be obligated to satisfy such Exchange Right if the General
Partner elects to purchase the Partnership Units subject to the Exchange Notice
pursuant to Section 8.05(b); and provided further, that no Limited Partner may
deliver more than two Exchange Notices during each calendar year. A Limited
Partner may not exercise the Exchange Right for less than 1,000 Partnership
Units or, if such Limited Partner holds less than 1,000 Partnership Units, all
of the Partnership Units held by such Partner. The Exchanging Partner shall have
no right, with respect to any Partnership Units so exchanged, to receive any
distribution paid with respect to such Partnership Units if the record date for
such distribution is on or after the Specified Exchange Date.

         (b)      Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.05(a), a Limited
Partner that exercises the Exchange Right shall be deemed to have also offered
to sell the Partnership Units described in the Exchange Notice to the General
Partner, and the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect
to purchase directly and acquire such Partnership Units by paying to the
Exchanging Partner either the Cash Amount or the REIT Shares Amount, as elected
by the General Partner (in its sole and absolute discretion), on the Specified
Exchange Date, whereupon the General Partner shall acquire the Partnership Units
offered for exchange by the Exchanging Partner and shall be treated for all
purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such Partnership Units. If the
General Partner shall elect to exercise its right to purchase Partnership Units
under this Section 8.05(b) with respect to an Exchange Notice, it shall so
notify the Exchanging Partner within five business days after the receipt by the
General Partner of such Exchange Notice. Unless the General Partner (in its sole
and absolute discretion) shall exercise its right to purchase Partnership Units
from the Exchanging Partner pursuant to this Section 8.05(b), the General
Partner shall have no obligation to the Exchanging Partner or the Partnership
with respect to the Exchanging Partner's exercise of an Exchange Right. In the
event the General Partner shall exercise its right to purchase Partnership Units
with respect to the exercise of an Exchange Right in the manner described in the
first sentence of this Section 8.05(b), the Partnership shall have no obligation
to pay any amount to the Exchanging Partner with respect to such Exchanging
Partner's exercise of such Exchange Right, and each of the Exchanging Partner
and the General Partner shall treat the transaction between the General Partner
and the Exchanging Partner for federal income tax purposes as a sale of the
Exchanging Partner's Partnership Units to the General Partner. Each Exchanging
Partner agrees to execute such documents as the General Partner may reasonably
require in connection with the issuance of REIT Shares to such Exchanging
Partner upon exercise of its Exchange Right.

         (c)      Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8.05(a) and
8.05(b), a Limited Partner shall not be entitled to exercise the Exchange Right
if the delivery of REIT Shares to such Partner on the Specified Exchange Date by
the General Partner pursuant to Section 8.05(b) (regardless of whether or not
the General Partner would in fact exercise its rights under Section 8.05(b))
would (i) result in such Partner or any other person owning, directly or
indirectly, REIT Shares in excess of the ownership limitations described in the
Articles of Incorporation and calculated in accordance therewith, (ii) result in
REIT Shares being owned by fewer than 100 persons (determined without reference
to any rules of attribution), except as provided in the Articles of
Incorporation, (iii) result in the General Partner being "closely held" within
the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, (iv) cause the General Partner to
own, directly or constructively, 10% or more of the ownership interests in a
tenant of the General Partner's, the Partnership's, or a Subsidiary
Partnership's real property within the meaning of Section


                                     - 36 -
<PAGE>

856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, or (v) cause the acquisition of REIT Shares by such
Partner to be "integrated" with any other distribution of REIT Shares for
purposes of complying with the registration provisions of the Securities Act.
The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, may waive any of the
restrictions on exchange set forth in this Section 8.05(c); provided, however,
that in the event any such restriction is waived, the Exchanging Partner shall
be paid the Cash Amount.

         (d)      Any Cash Amount to be paid to an Exchanging Partner pursuant
to this Section 8.05 shall be paid on the Specified Exchange Date; provided,
however, that the General Partner may elect to cause the Specified Exchange Date
to be delayed for up to 180 days to the extent required for the General Partner
to cause additional REIT Shares to be issued to provide financing to be used to
make such payment of the Cash Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General
Partner agrees to use its best efforts to cause the closing of the acquisition
of exchanged Partnership Units hereunder to occur as quickly as reasonably
possible.

         (e)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
General Partner shall place appropriate restrictions on the ability of the
Limited Partners to exercise their Exchange Rights as and if deemed necessary to
ensure that the Partnership does not constitute a "publicly traded partnership"
under Section 7704 of the Code. If and when the General Partner determines that
imposing such restrictions is necessary, the General Partner shall give prompt
written notice thereof (a "RESTRICTION NOTICE") to each of the Limited Partners,
which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of an opinion of counsel to the
Partnership which states that, in the opinion of such counsel, restrictions are
necessary in order to avoid the Partnership being treated as a "publicly traded
partnership" under Section 7704 of the Code.

8.06     CALL RIGHT.

         (a)      Subject to Section 8.06(c) below, and subject to the
modification of any rights or obligations provided for herein by agreement(s)
between the General Partner and any one or more Limited Partners with respect to
the Partnership Units held by them, at any time after the expiration of the
Holding Period for the Partnership Units in question, the General Partner shall
have the right (the "CALL RIGHT") to purchase all of the Partnership Units held
by a Limited Partner at a price equal to the Cash Amount; provided, however,
that the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to
purchase such Partnership Units by paying to the Partner in question the REIT
Shares Amount in lieu of the Cash Amount. The Call Right shall be exercised
pursuant to a Call Notice delivered by the General Partner to any such Limited
Partner. The General Partner may not exercise the Call Right for less than the
entire interest of a Limited Partner in the Partnership. A Limited Partner
receiving the Call Notice described above shall have no rights with respect to
any interest in the Partnership other than the right to receive payment for its
interest in the Partnership in cash or REIT Shares in accordance with this
Section 8.06. An assignee of a Limited Partner shall be bound by and subject to
the Call Right of the General Partner pursuant to this Section 8.06. In
connection with any exercise of such Call Right by the General Partner with
respect to an assignee, the Cash Amount (or REIT Shares Amount) shall be paid by
the General Partner directly to such assignee and not to the Limited Partner
from which such assignee acquired its Partnership Units. The General Partner
shall be unable to exercise the Call Right and the Call Right shall lapse upon
the occurrence of a Liquidating Event


                                     - 37 -
<PAGE>

unless and until the Partners shall continue the business of the Partnership
under Section 7.03 hereof.

         (b)      (i)      Within 30 days after the delivery of the Call Notice
by the General Partner to a Limited Partner under this Section 8.06, the General
Partner (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.06(c)) shall transfer
and deliver the Cash Amount (or the REIT Shares Amount) to such Limited Partner
or, as applicable, its assignee, whereupon the General Partner (or its designee)
shall acquire the Partnership Units of such Limited Partner or, as applicable,
its assignee, and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the
owner of such Partnership Units (and as a Limited Partner with respect to such
Partnership Units).

                  (ii)     In the event that the General Partner elects to pay
         such Limited Partner in the form of the REIT Shares Amount and such
         REIT Shares Amount is not a whole number of REIT Shares, the Limited
         Partner shall be paid (A) the number of REIT Shares which equals the
         nearest whole number less than such amount plus (B) an amount of cash
         which the General Partner determines, in its reasonable discretion, to
         represent the fair value of the remaining fractional REIT Share which
         would otherwise be payable to the Limited Partner.

                  (iii)    Each Limited Partner agrees to deliver to the General
         Partner the Partnership Unit Certificate(s) representing its Limited
         Partnership Interest and to execute such documents as the General
         Partner may reasonably require in connection with the issuance of REIT
         Shares upon exercise of the Call Right (including without limitation an
         assignment of Partnership Units pursuant to the terms of which such
         Limited Partner (A) represents, warrants and certifies that it has
         marketable and unencumbered title to its Partnership Units, free and
         clear of the rights of or interest of any other person or entity, that
         it has the full right, power and authority to transfer and surrender
         its Partnership Units, and that it has obtained the consent or approval
         of all persons or entities, if any, having the right to consent to or
         approve of such transfer and surrender, and (B) agrees to indemnify and
         hold the General Partner harmless from and against any and all
         liabilities, charges, costs and expenses relating to such Limited
         Partner's Partnership Units which are subject to the Call Right or the
         exercise of the Call Right).

         (c)      Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8.06(a) and 8.06(b)
above, the General Partner shall not be entitled to exercise the Call Right if
(i) a Liquidating Event has occurred with regard to the Partnership and the
Partnership has not been continued under Section 7.03 hereof; or (ii) the
delivery of REIT Shares to the Limited Partner (A) would be prohibited under the
Articles of Incorporation, (B) would adversely affect the ability of the General
Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject the General Partner to any
additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, or (C) would be
prohibited under applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations.

         (d)      Each Limited Partner covenants and agrees with the General
Partner that all Partnership Units delivered in connection with the Call Right
shall be delivered to the General Partner free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances and, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
General Partner shall not be under any obligation to acquire a Limited Partner's
Partnership Units (i) to the extent that any such Partnership Units are subject
to any


                                     - 38 -
<PAGE>

such liens or encumbrances or (ii) in the event that the Limited Partner shall
fail to give the General Partner adequate assurances that such Partnership Units
are not subject to any such liens or encumbrances or shall fail to agree to
fully indemnify the General Partner from any such liens or encumbrances as well
as the liabilities, charges, costs and expenses referenced in the last section
of Section 8.06(b)(iii). Each Limited Partner further agrees that, in the event
any state or local transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of its
Partnership Units to the General Partner, such Limited Partner shall assume and
pay such transfer tax.

8.07     DUTIES AND CONFLICTS. The General Partner recognizes that the Limited
Partners and their Affiliates have or may have other business interests,
activities and investments, some of which may be in conflict or competition with
the business of the Partnership, and that such Persons are entitled to carry on
such other business interests, activities and investments. The Limited Partners
and their Affiliates may engage in or possess an interest in any other business
or venture of any kind, independently or with others, on their own behalf or on
behalf of other entities with which they are affiliated or associated, and such
Persons may engage in any activities, whether or not competitive with the
Partnership, without any obligation to offer any interest in such activities to
the Partnership or to any Partner. Neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall
have any right, by virtue of this Agreement, in or to such activities, or the
income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such activities, even if
competitive with the business of the Partnership, and such activities shall not
be deemed wrongful or improper.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                   TRANSFERS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

9.01     PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT.

         (a)      Each Limited Partner hereby represents and warrants to the
General Partner and to the Partnership that the acquisition of its Partnership
Interest is made as a principal for its account for investment purposes only and
not with a view to the resale or distribution of such Partnership Interest.

         (b)      Each Limited Partner agrees that it will not sell, assign or
otherwise transfer its Partnership Interest or any fraction thereof, whether
voluntarily or by operation of law or at judicial sale or otherwise, to any
Person who does not make the representations and warranties to the General
Partner set forth in Section 9.01(a) above.

9.02     RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS.

         (a)      Subject to the provisions of Sections 9.02(b), 9.02(c) and
9.02(d), no Limited Partner may offer, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge or
otherwise transfer all or any portion of its Limited Partnership Interest, or
any of such Limited Partner's economic rights as a Limited Partner, whether
voluntarily or by operation of law or at judicial sale or otherwise
(collectively, a "TRANSFER"), without the consent of the General Partner, which
consent may be granted or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion. Any such
purported transfer undertaken without such consent shall be considered to be
null and void ab initio and shall not be given effect. The Original Limited
Partner acknowledges that the General Partner has agreed not to grant its


                                     - 39 -
<PAGE>

consent with respect to any Transfer by the Original Limited Partner prior to
the Transfer Restriction Date; provided, that the Original Limited Partner shall
not be prohibited from a Transfer of its Partnership Interest pursuant to the
exercise of its right to exchange its Partnership Interest for REIT Shares
pursuant to Section 8.05 above, in which case the Original Limited Partner
acknowledges that the General Partner has also agreed not to grant its consent
with respect to any Transfer of said REIT Shares prior to the Transfer
Restriction Date. The General Partner may require, as a condition of any
Transfer to which it consents, that the transferor assume all costs incurred by
the Partnership in connection therewith.

         (b)      No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other
than as a result of: (i) a permitted Transfer (i.e., a Transfer consented to as
contemplated by paragraph (a) above or paragraph (c) below or a Transfer made
pursuant to Section 9.05 below) of all of its Partnership Units pursuant to this
Article IX pursuant to an exchange of all of its Partnership Units pursuant to
Section 8.05 above; or (iii) a Transfer made pursuant to the sale of all its
Partnership Units pursuant to Section 8.06 above. Upon the permitted Transfer or
redemption of all of a Limited Partner's Partnership Units, such Limited Partner
shall cease to be a Limited Partner.

         (c)      Subject to Sections 9.02(d), 9.02(e) and 9.02(f), a Limited
Partner may Transfer, with the consent of the General Partner, all or a portion
of its Partnership Units to (i) a parent or parent's spouse, natural or adopted
descendants, a spouse of any such descendant, a brother or sister, or a trust
created by such Limited Partner for the benefit of such Limited Partner and/or
any such person(s), for which trust such Limited Partner or any such person(s)
is a trustee, (ii) a corporation controlled by a Person or Persons named in (i)
above, or (iii) if the Limited Partner is an entity, its beneficial owners.

         (d)      No Limited Partner may effect a Transfer of its Limited
Partnership Interest, in whole or in part, if, in the opinion of legal counsel
for the Partnership, such proposed Transfer would require the registration of
the Limited Partnership Interest under the Securities Act, or would otherwise
violate any applicable federal or state securities or blue sky law (including
investment suitability standards).

         (e)      No Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units, in
whole or in part, may be made to any Person if (i) in the opinion of legal
counsel for the Partnership, the transfer would result in the Partnership's
being treated as an association taxable as a corporation (other than a qualified
REIT subsidiary within the meaning of Section 856(i) of the Code), (ii) in the
opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, it would adversely affect the
ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject the
General Partner to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the
Code, or (iii) such transfer is effectuated through an "established securities
market" or a "secondary market" (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within
the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code.

         (f)      No transfer of any Partnership Units may be made to a lender
to the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of
Regulations Section 1.752-4(b)) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan
constitutes a nonrecourse liability (within the meaning of Regulations Section
1.752-1(a)(2)), without the consent of the General Partner, which may be
withheld in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, that as a condition to
such consent the lender will be required to enter into an arrangement with the
Partnership and the General Partner


                                     - 40 -
<PAGE>

to exchange or redeem for the Cash Amount any Partnership Units in which a
security interest is held simultaneously with the time at which such lender
would be deemed to be a partner in the Partnership for purposes of allocating
liabilities to such lender under Section 752 of the Code.

         (g)      Any Transfer in contravention of any of the provisions of this
Article IX shall be void and ineffectual and shall not be binding upon, or
recognized by, the Partnership.

         (h)      Prior to the consummation of any Transfer under this Article
IX, the transferor and/or the transferee shall deliver to the General Partner
such opinions, certificates and other documents as the General Partner shall
request in connection with such Transfer.

9.03     ADMISSION OF SUBSTITUTE LIMITED PARTNER.

         (a)      Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, an
assignee of the Limited Partnership Interest of a Limited Partner (which shall
be understood to include any purchaser, transferee, donee or other recipient of
any disposition of such Limited Partnership Interest) shall be deemed admitted
as a Limited Partner of the Partnership only with the consent of the General
Partner and upon the satisfactory completion of the following:

                  (i)      the assignee shall have accepted and agreed to be
         bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement by executing a
         counterpart or an amendment thereof, including a revised Exhibit A, and

         (b)      For the purpose of allocating Profit and Loss and distributing
cash received by the Partnership, a Substitute Limited Partner shall be treated
as having become, and appearing in the records of the Partnership as, a Partner
upon the filing of the Certificate described in Section 9.03(a)(ii) hereof or,
if no such filing is required, the later of the date specified in the transfer

         (c)      The General Partner shall cooperate with the Person seeking to

Person as a Limited Partner of the Partnership.

9.04     RIGHTS OF ASSIGNEES OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS.

         (a)      Subject to the provisions of Sections 9.01 and 9.02 hereof,
except as required by operation of law, the Partnership shall not be obligated

Limited Partner's Limited Partnership Interest, but who does not become a
Substitute Limited Partner and desires to make a further assignment of such
Limited Partnership Interest, shall be subject to all the provisions of this
Article IX to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner
desiring to make an assignment of its Limited Partnership Interest.

9.05     EFFECT OF BANKRUPTCY, DEATH, INCOMPETENCE OR TERMINATION OF A LIMITED
PARTNER.

         The occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to a Limited Partner, the
death of a Limited Partner or a final adjudication that a Limited Partner is
incompetent (which term shall include, but not be limited to, insanity) shall
not cause the termination or dissolution of the Partnership, and the business of
the Partnership shall continue if an order for relief in a bankruptcy proceeding
is entered against a Limited Partner, the trustee or receiver of his estate or,
if he dies, his executor, administrator or trustee, or, if he is finally
adjudicated incompetent, his committee, guardian or conservator, and any such
Person shall have the rights of such Limited Partner for the purpose of settling
or managing his estate property and such power as the bankrupt, deceased or
incompetent Limited Partner possessed to assign all or any part of his
Partnership Interest and to join with the assignee in satisfying conditions
precedent to the admission of the assignee as a Substitute Limited Partner.

9.06     JOINT OWNERSHIP OF INTERESTS. A Partnership Interest may be acquired by
two individuals as joint tenants with right of survivorship, provided, that such
individuals either are married or are related and share the same personal
residence. The written consent or vote of both owners of any such jointly-held
Partnership Interest shall be required to constitute the action of the owners of
such Partnership Interest; provided, however, that the written consent of only
one joint owner will be required if the Partnership has been provided with
evidence satisfactory to the counsel for the Partnership that the actions of a
single joint owner can bind both owners


                                     - 42 -
<PAGE>

under the applicable laws of the state of residence of such joint owners. Upon
the death of one owner of a Partnership Interest held in a joint tenancy with a
right of survivorship, the Partnership Interest shall become owned solely by the
survivor as a Limited Partner and not as an assignee. The Partnership need not
recognize the death of one of the owners of a jointly held Partnership Interest
until it shall have received notice of such death. Upon notice to the General
Partner from either owner, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership
Interest to be divided into two equal Partnership Interests, which shall
thereafter be owned separately by each of the former joint owners.

11.01    AMENDMENT. The General Partner's consent shall be required for any
amendment to this Agreement. The General Partner, without the consent of the

that the following amendments shall require the consent of Limited Partners

         (a)      any amendment affecting the operation of the Conversion Factor

in a manner adverse to the Limited Partners;

         (b)      any amendment that would adversely affect the rights of the
Limited Partners to receive the distributions payable to them hereunder, other
than with respect to the issuance of additional Partnership Units pursuant to
Section 4.02 hereof;

         (c)      any amendment that would alter the Partnership's allocations
of Profit and Loss to the Limited Partners, other than with respect to the
issuance of additional Partnership Units pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof; or

         (d)      any amendment that would impose on the Limited Partners any
obligation to make additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership.

         The foregoing notwithstanding, the approval of any amendment to this
Agreement that shall be part of a plan of merger, plan of exchange or plan of
conversion involving the Partnership or the Partnership Interests shall be
governed by Article XII.

11.02    MEETINGS OF PARTNERS.

place within the State of Texas as the place of meeting for any meeting of the
Partners; and Partners holding at least a majority of the Partnership Units in

business of the Partnership.


                                     - 45 -
<PAGE>

         (c)      Except as provided in Section 11.02(d), written notice stating
the place, day and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the
meeting is called shall be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than ninety
(90) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at
the direction of the Partner or Partners calling the meeting, to each Partner
entitled to vote at such meeting and to each Partner not entitled to vote who is
entitled to notice of the meeting.

         (d)      Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
with respect to any meeting of the Partners, any Partner who in person or by
proxy shall have waived in writing notice of the meeting, either before or after
such meeting, or who shall attend the meeting in person or by proxy, shall be
deemed to have waived notice of such meeting unless such Partner attends for the
express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, and does so
object to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully
called or convened.

         (e)      If all of the Partners shall meet at any time and place,
either within or outside of the State of Texas, in person or by proxy, and
consent to the holding of a meeting at such time and place, such meeting shall
be valid without call or notice, and at such meeting lawful action may be taken.

         (f)      For the purpose of determining Partners entitled to notice of
or to vote at any meeting of Partners or any adjournment thereof, the date on
which notice of the meeting is mailed shall be the record date. When a
determination of Partners entitled to vote at any meeting of Partners has been
made as provided in this Section, such determination shall apply to any
adjournment thereof.

         (g)      Partners holding at least a majority of the Partnership Units
entitled to vote at a meeting, represented in person or by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum at any meeting of Partners. In the absence of a quorum at
any such meeting, Partners holding at least a majority of Partnership Units so
represented may adjourn the meeting to another time and place. Any business
which might have been transacted at the original meeting may be transacted at
any adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present. No notice of an adjourned
meeting need be given if the time and place are announced at the meeting at
which the adjournment is taken unless the adjournment is for more than 120 days.
The Partners present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact
business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal during such meeting
of that number Partnership Units whose absence would cause less than a quorum to
be present.

         (h)      If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of Partners
holding a majority of the Partnership Units entitled to vote, present in person
or represented by proxy, shall be binding on all Partners, unless the vote of a
greater or lesser proportion or number of Partnership Units or Partners is
otherwise required by applicable law or by this Agreement. Unless otherwise
expressly provided herein or required under applicable law, Partners who have an
interest (economic or otherwise) in the outcome of any particular matter upon
which the Partners' vote or consent is required may vote or consent upon any
such matter and their Partnership Units, vote or consent, as the case may be,
shall be counted in the determination of whether the requisite matter was
approved by the Partners.

         (i)      At all meetings of Partners, a Partner may vote in person or
by proxy executed in writing by the Partner or by the Partner's duly authorized
attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the General Partner before or
at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after eleven months from the
date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

         (j)      Action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of
Partners may be taken without a meeting if the action is evidenced by one or
more written consents or approvals describing the action taken and signed by
sufficient Partners or Partners holding sufficient Partnership Units, as the
case may be, to approve such action had such action been properly voted on at a
duly called meeting of the Partners. Action taken under this Section 11.02(j) is
effective when the requisite Partners or Partners with the requisite Partnership
Units, as the case may be, have signed the consent or approval, unless the
consent specifies a different effective date.

or organized or by the constituent documents of such other entity that are not
inconsistent with such laws. Any exchange pursuant to a plan of exchange
described in Section 12.01(a)(ii) hereof shall be conditioned upon the issuance
of shares or other interests of the acquiring foreign limited partnership or
other entity being permitted by the laws under which such foreign limited
partnership or other entity is incorporated or organized or is not inconsistent
with such laws. Any conversion pursuant to a plan of conversion described in
Section 12.01(a)(iii) hereof shall be conditioned upon such conversion being
permitted by, or not inconsistent with, the laws of the jurisdiction in which

incorporation, formation or organization of the converted entity is effected in
compliance with such laws.

         (c)      The Partnership may adopt a plan of merger, plan of exchange

         recommending that the plan of merger, plan of exchange or plan of
         conversion be approved by the Limited Partners, unless the General
         Partner determines that for any reason it should not make that
         recommendation, in which case the General Partner shall adopt a
         resolution directing that the plan of merger, plan of exchange or plan
         of conversion be submitted to the Limited Partners for approval without
         recommendation; and

                  (ii)     the Limited Partners entitled to vote on the plan of

         (e)      Unless the General Partner (acting pursuant to Section
12.02(c)) requires a greater vote, the vote of the Limited Partners required for

the affirmative vote of the holders of more than 50% of the Percentage Interests
of the Limited Partners entitled to vote thereon.

         (f)      Unless applicable law otherwise requires (in which case the
approval of the Limited Partners shall continue to be required and the foregoing

         resulting entity;

                  (ii)     the partnership agreement of the surviving or

         to applicable law or other insignificant conforming differences;

                  (iii)    Limited Partners who held Limited Partnership
         Interests immediately before the effective date of the merger or
         conversion will hold interests in the surviving or resulting entity in
         the same proportions, immediately after the effective date of the
         merger or conversion; and

                  (iv)     the General Partner adopts a resolution approving the
         plan of merger or plan of conversion.

         (g)      After a plan of merger, plan of exchange or plan of conversion

become effective, the plan of merger, plan of exchange or plan of conversion may
be abandoned (subject to any contractual rights by any of the entities that are
a party thereto), without action by the Limited Partners, in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the plan of merger, plan of exchange or plan of

12.03    RIGHTS OF DISSENTING LIMITED PARTNERS.

         (a)      In the absence of fraud in the transaction, the remedy
provided by this Section 12.03 to a Limited Partner voting against any merger,
exchange or conversion or objecting to a merger, exchange or conversion approved
by the written consent of Limited Partners (a "DISSENTING LIMITED PARTNER") is
the exclusive remedy for the recovery of the value of his Limited Partnership
interests or money damages with respect to the transaction. If the existing,
surviving, or new corporation or limited partnership (foreign or domestic) or
other entity, as the case may be, complies with the requirements of this Section
12.03, any Dissenting Limited Partner who fails to comply with the requirements
of this Section 12.03 shall not be entitled to bring suit for the recovery of
the value of his Limited Partnership interests or money damages with respect to
the transaction. A "Dissenting Limited Partner" in respect of any merger,
exchange or conversion shall expressly exclude any Limited Partner who votes in
favor of the related plan of merger, plan of exchange or plan of conversion or
who abstains or fails to timely vote therefor. In the event of a plan of merger,
plan of exchange or plan of conversion approved by written consent, a
"Dissenting Limited Partner" in respect of any related merger, exchange or
conversion shall expressly exclude Limited Partners who provide such written
consent and Limited Partners who fail to object to the merger, exchange or
conversion and demands payment for such Limited Partner's Limited Partnership
Interest in writing to the General Partner within twenty (20) days after notice
to the Limited Partners of the receipt by the Partnership of written consents
sufficient to approve such merger, exchange or conversion. All such Limited
Partners who are not included within the definition of Dissenting Limited
Partner in respect of any

                                     - 49 -
<PAGE>
merger, exchange or conversion shall participate in the merger, exchange or
conversion according to the approved plan of merger, plan of exchange or plan
of conversion.

         (b)      Any Dissenting Limited Partner who has opted for payment for
his Limited Partnership interests shall not thereafter be entitled to vote or
exercise any other rights of a Limited Partner except the right to receive
payment for his Limited Partnership interests and the right to maintain an
appropriate action to obtain relief on the ground that the transaction would be
or was fraudulent. Limited Partnership Interests of Dissenting Limited Partners
for which payment has been made shall not thereafter be considered outstanding
for the purposes of any subsequent vote of the Limited Partners.

         (c)      Within twenty (20) days after a Dissenting Limited Partner
votes against any plan of merger, plan of exchange or plan of conversion which
is approved by a vote of the Limited Partners, or in connection with a Limited
Partner's objection to any plan of merger, plan of exchange or plan of
conversion approved by the written consent of the Limited Partners, the
Dissenting Limited Partner may demand by written notice to the General Partner
that payment for his Limited Partnership Interest be made. Upon receipt of such
a payment demand, the General Partner shall (i) make a notation on the records
of the Partnership that such demand has been made and (ii) within a reasonable
period of time after the later of the receipt of a payment demand or the
consummation of the merger, exchange or conversion, cause the Partnership to pay
to the Dissenting Limited Partner the fair value of such Dissenting Limited
Partner's Partnership Interest without interest. The fair value of a Dissenting
Limited Partner's Partnership Interest shall be an amount equal to the
Dissenting Limited Partner's pro rata share (as would be determined under
Section 5.06 hereof if the Partnership were liquidating) of the appraised value
of the net assets of the Partnership based on an appraisal of all assets of the
Partnership from a Competent Independent Expert. The assets of the Partnership
shall be appraised on a consistent basis. The appraisal shall be based on an
evaluation of all relevant information and shall include the current value of
the Partnership's assets as of the date immediately prior to the proposed
merger, exchange or conversion. The appraisal shall assume an orderly
liquidation of the Partnership's assets over a twelve (12) month period, shall
consider other balance sheet items, and shall be net of the assumed cost of
sale. The terms of the engagement of the appraiser shall clearly state that the
engagement is for the benefit of the Partnership and its Limited Partners. A
summary of the independent appraisal, including all material assumptions
underlying the appraisal, shall be provided to Dissenting Limited Partners in
connection with the payment of the fair value of their Limited Partnership
Interests.

         (d)      If a Dissenting Limited Partner shall fail to make a payment
demand within the period provided in Section 12.03(c) hereof or, in respect of a
plan of merger, plan of exchange or plan of conversion approved by written
consent of the Limited Partners, shall fail to provide notice of dissent within
the period set forth in Section 12.03(a) hereof, such Dissenting Limited Partner
and all persons claiming under him shall be conclusively presumed to have
approved and ratified the merger, conversion or exchange and shall be bound
thereby, the right of such Dissenting Limited Partner to be paid the fair value
of his Limited Partnership Interest shall cease, and his status as a Limited
Partner shall be restored without prejudice to any proceedings which may have
been taken during the interim, and such Dissenting Limited Partner shall be
entitled to receive any distributions made to Limited Partners in the interim.

<PAGE>

claims, disputes and controversies between the Partnership and any one or more
of the Partners and between or among any Partners) arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement or the Partnership created hereby, or any act or
failure to act by the General Partner or any other Partner hereunder, shall be
resolved by binding arbitration in Dallas, Texas by the American Arbitration
Association (the "AAA"), in accordance with this Section 13.10. Any arbitration
called for by this Section 13.10 shall be conducted in accordance with the
following procedures:

         (a)      The Partnership or any Partner (the "REQUESTING PARTY") may
demand arbitration pursuant to this Section 13.10 at any time by giving written
notice of such demand (the "DEMAND NOTICE") to all other Partners and (if the
Requesting Party is not the Partnership) to the Partnership which Demand Notice
shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, dispute or
controversy.

         (b)      Within 15 days after the giving of a Demand Notice or such
additional time as required by the AAA, the AAA shall select and designate in
writing three reputable, disinterested individuals willing to act as an
arbitrator of the claim, dispute or controversy in question.

         (c)      The presentations of the parties hereto in the arbitration
proceeding shall be commenced and completed within sixty (60) days after the
selection of the arbitration panel pursuant to subsection B above, and the
arbitration panel shall render its decision (and specify in reasonable detail
its reasons therefor) in writing within thirty (30) days after the completion of
such presentations. Any decision concurred in by any two (2) of the arbitrators
shall constitute the decision of the arbitration panel, and unanimity shall not

         (d)      The arbitration panel shall include in its decision a
direction that all of the attorneys' fees and costs of any party or parties and
the costs of such arbitration be paid by the losing party or parties in the
arbitration. On the application of a party before or after the initial decision
of the arbitration panel, and proof of its attorneys' fees and costs, the
arbitration panel shall order the other party to make any payments directed
pursuant to the preceding sentence.

         Any decision rendered by the arbitration panel in accordance herewith
shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and judgment thereon may be
entered by any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction. Arbitration
shall be the exclusive method available for resolution of claims, disputes and
controversies arising between and among the parties relating to this Agreement
and the conduct of the parties hereto in relation to Partnership matters, and
the Partnership and its Partners stipulate that the provisions hereof shall be a
complete defense to any suit, action or proceeding in any court or before any
administrative or arbitration tribunal with respect to any such claim,
controversy or dispute. The provisions of this Section 13.10 shall survive the
dissolution of the Partnership.

         Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give the arbitrators any
authority, power or right to alter, change, amend, modify, add to, or subtract
from any of the provisions of this Agreement.

13.11    VOTE OF AFFILIATED LIMITED PARTNERS. Notwithstanding any provision to
