fullest extent permitted under the act or other applicable law, rule or
regulation, the execution, delivery or performance by the General Partner

        12.1  To the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, the
Partnership shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and other 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 or the General Partner as set forth in this
Agreement, in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be
involved, as a party or otherwise, except to the extent it is finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, from which no further
appeal may be taken, that such Indemnitee's action constituted intentional
acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or fraud.  Without
limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any
Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise for any indebtedness
of the Partnership (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which
the Partnership has assumed or taken subject to), and the General Partner
is hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Partnership, to enter
into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of
this Article XII in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having
liability for any such indebtedness.  Any indemnification pursuant to this
Article XII shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, and
neither the General Partner nor any Limited Partner shall have any
obligation to contribute to the capital of the Partnership, or otherwise
provide funds, to enable the Partnership to fund its obligations under this
Article XII.

        12.2  Reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party
to a proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership in advance
of the final disposition of the proceeding.

        13.3 The indemnification provided by this Article XII shall be in
addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may
be entitled under any












                                 -17-




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 unless otherwise provided in a written agreement pursuant
to which such Indemnities are indemnified.

        12.4  The Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase
and maintain insurance, on behalf of 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 whether the
Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such
liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

        12.5  In no event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Partners to
personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in
this Agreement.

        12.6  An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole
or in part under this Article XII 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.

        12.7  The provisions of this Article XII are for the benefit of
the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and
shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other
Persons.  Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Article XII or any
provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect
the Partnership's liability to any Indemnitee under this Article XII, as in
effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification, or repeal with
respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole
or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of
when such claims may arise or be asserted.
