                            EXHIBIT A

     Section 4.17.  Series E Preferred Units. Pursuant to
authority granted under Section 4.02(b) of this Agreement, the
General Partner hereby establishes a series of preferred Units
designated the 8.25% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Units (Liquidation Preference $250.00 Per Unit) (the "Series E
Preferred Units") on the following terms:

     (a)  Number.  The number of authorized units of the Series E
Preferred Units shall be 460,000 and shall at all times be equal
to the number of 8.25% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Shares ("Series E Preferred Shares") issued by the General
Partner and then outstanding.  Series E Preferred Units shall be
issued only to and held only by the General Partner.

     (b)  Relative Seniority.  In respect of rights to receive
dividends and to participate in distributions or payments in the
event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Partnership, the Series E Preferred Units shall rank senior to
the Units initially established under Section 2.03 and issued
under Sections 4.01 and 4.02(a) ("Common Units") and any other
class or series of Units of the Partnership ranking, as to
Distributions and upon liquidation, junior to the Series E
Preferred Units (collectively, "Junior Units") and on a parity
with the Series A Preferred Units and the Series B Preferred
Units.  In the event of Distributions from a Terminating Capital
Transaction pursuant to Section 4.04, Distributions to the holder
of Series E Preferred Units will be made prior to Distributions
to holders of Junior Units or to other Partners in accordance
with Capital Account positive balances pursuant to Section
4.04(d).

     (c)  Distributions.

          (1)  The General Partner, as holder of the then
     outstanding Series E Preferred Units, shall be entitled to
     receive, when and as declared by the General Partner out of
     any funds legally available therefor, cumulative
     Distributions at an initial rate of 8.25% per Unit per year,
     payable in equal amounts of $5.15625 per Unit quarterly in
     cash on the last day of each March, June, September and
     December or, if not a Business Day (as hereinafter defined),
     the next succeeding Business Day beginning on March 31, 1999
     (each such day being hereinafter called a "Quarterly
     Distribution Date" and each period ending on a Quarterly
     Distribution Date being hereinafter called a "Distribution
     Period").  Distributions shall be payable to the General
     Partner as holder of the Series E Preferred Units at the
     close of business on the applicable record date (the "Record
     Date"), which shall be on such date designated by the
     Partnership for the payment of Distributions that is not
     more than 30 nor less than 10 days prior to such Quarterly
     Distribution Date.  The amount of any distribution payable
     for any Distribution Period shorter than a full Distribution
     Period (including the first Dividend Period) shall be
     prorated and computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
     twelve 30-day months.  Distributions on each Series E
     Preferred Unit shall accrue and be cumulative from and
     including the date of original issue thereof, whether or not
     (i) Distributions on such units are earned and declared,
     (ii) the Partnership has earnings, or (iii) on any Quarterly
     Distribution Date there shall be funds legally available for
     the payment of Distributions.  Distributions paid on the
     Series E Preferred Units in an amount less than the total
     amount of such Distributions at the time accrued and payable
     on such units shall be allocated pro rata on a per Unit
     basis among all such Series E Preferred Units at the time
     outstanding.  Except as provided in subparagraph (e)(2)(v)
     and the last sentence of this paragraph, unless the full
     cumulative Distributions on the Series E Preferred Units
     have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or
     declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set
     apart for payment for all past Distribution Periods and the
     then current Distribution Period, no Distributions (other
     than Distributions payable solely in Common Units or other
     units of Partnership interest ranking junior to the Series E
     Preferred Units as to Distributions and upon liquidation)
     shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment or other
     Distribution made upon the Common Units or any other units
     of Partnership interest ranking junior to or on a parity
     with the Series E Preferred Units as to Distributions or
     upon liquidation, nor shall any Common Units, or any other
     units of Partnership interest ranking junior to or on a
     parity with the Series E Preferred Units as to Distributions
     or upon liquidation be redeemed, purchased or otherwise
     acquired for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or
     made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of such
     units) by the Partnership or any subsidiary of the
     Partnership (except for conversion into or exchange for such
     capital units of the Partnership ranking junior to the
     Series E Preferred Units as to Distributions and upon
     liquidation).  If accrued Distributions on the Series E
     Preferred Units for all prior Distribution Periods have not
     been paid in full, then any Distribution declared on the
     Series E Preferred Units for any Distribution Period and on
     any series of preferred units at the time outstanding
     ranking on a parity as to the Distributions with the Series
     E Preferred Units will be declared ratably in proportion to
     accrued and unpaid Distributions on the Series E Preferred
     Units and such series of preferred units at the time
     outstanding ranking on a parity as to Distributions with the
     Series E Preferred Units.

          "Business Day" shall mean any day, other than a
     Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a
     day on which banking institutions in New York City are
     authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order
     to close.

          (2)  The amount of any Distributions accrued on any
     Series E Preferred Units at any Quarterly Distribution Date
     shall be the amount of any unpaid Distributions accumulated
     thereon, to and including such Quarterly Distribution Date,
     whether or not earned or declared, and the amount of
     Distributions accrued on any units of Series E Preferred
     Units at any date other than a Quarterly Distribution Date
     shall be equal to the sum of the amount of any unpaid
     Distributions accumulated thereon, to and including the last
     preceding Quarterly Distribution Date, whether or not earned
     or declared, plus an amount calculated on the basis of the
     annual Distribution rate of 8.25% per unit, for the period
     after such last preceding Quarterly Distribution Date to and
     including the date as of which the calculation is made based
     on a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

          (3)  Except as provided in this Section 4.17, the
     Series E Preferred Units shall not be entitled to
     participate in the earnings or assets of the Partnership.
          (4)  Any Distribution payment made on the Series E
     Preferred Units shall be first credited against the earliest
     accrued but unpaid Distribution due with respect to such
     units which remains payable.

          (5)  If, for any taxable year, the Partnership elects
     to designate as "capital gain Distributions" (as defined in
     Section 857 of the Code), any portion (the "Capital Gains
     Amount") of the Distributions paid or made available for the
     year to holders of all classes of Units (the "Total
     Distributions"), then the portion of the Capital Gains
     Amount that shall be allocated to the holders of the Series
     E Preferred Units shall be the amount that the total
     Distributions paid or made available to the holders of the
     Series E Preferred Units for the year bears to the Total
     Distributions.

          (6)  No Distributions on the Series E Preferred Units
     shall be authorized by the General Partner or be paid or set
     apart for payment by the Partnership at such time as the
     terms and provisions of any agreement of the Partnership,
     including any agreement relating to its indebtedness,
     prohibit such authorization, payment or setting apart for
     payment or provide that such authorization, payment or
     setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof
     or a default thereunder, or if such authorization or payment
     shall be restricted or prohibited by law.  Notwithstanding
     the foregoing, Distributions on the Series E Preferred Units
     will accrue whether or not the Partnership has earnings,
     whether or not there are funds legally available for the
     payment of such Distributions and whether or not such
     Distributions are authorized.

     (d)  Liquidation Rights.

          (1)  Upon the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
     liquidation or winding up of the Partnership, the holders of
     the Series E Preferred Units then outstanding shall be
     entitled to receive and to be paid out of the assets of the
     Partnership available for distribution to the Partners,
     before any payment or distribution shall be made on any
     Junior Units, the amount of $250.00 per Series E Preferred
     Unit, plus accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon.

          (2)  After the payment to the holders of the Series E
     Preferred Units of the full preferential amounts provided
     for in this Section 4.17, the holders of the Series E
     Preferred Units, as such, shall have no right or claim to
     any of the remaining assets of the Partnership.

          (3)  If, upon any voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
     liquidation, or winding up of the Partnership, the amounts
     payable with respect to the preference value of the Series E
     Preferred Units and any other units of the Partnership
     ranking as to any such distribution on a parity with the
     Series E Preferred Units are not paid in full, the holders
     of the Series E Preferred Units and of such other units will
     share ratably in any such distribution of assets of the
     Partnership in proportion to the full respective preference
     amounts to which they are entitled.
          (4)  Neither the sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of
     all or substantially all of the property or business of the
     Partnership, nor the merger or consolidation of the
     Partnership into or with any other entity or the merger or
     consolidation of any other entity into or with the
     Partnership, shall be deemed to be a dissolution,
     liquidation or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, for the
     purposes of this Section 4.17.

     (e)  Redemption by the Partnership.

          (1)  Optional Redemption.  The General Partner shall
     cause the Partnership to redeem one Series E Preferred Unit
     for each Series E Preferred Share redeemed by the General
     Partner, at a price per Series E Preferred Unit (the "Series
     E Redemption Price"), payable in cash, of $250.00, together
     with all accrued and unpaid Distributions to and including
     the date fixed for redemption (the "Series E Redemption
     Date").  The Series E Preferred Units have no stated
     maturity and will not be subject to any sinking fund or
     mandatory redemption provisions.

          (2)  Procedures of Redemption.

               (i)  The General Partner shall provide the
          Partnership with a copy of any notice of redemption
          given by the General Partner pursuant to Section
          6.09(e)(2)(i) of its Articles of Incorporation, as
          amended.  No failure to give such notice or any defect
          therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the
          validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any
          Series E Preferred Units.

               (ii) If notice has been mailed by the General
          Partner in accordance with Section 6.09(e)(2)(i) of its
          Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and provided
          that on or before the Series E Redemption Date
          specified in such notice all funds necessary for such
          redemption shall have been irrevocably set aside by the
          Partnership, separate and apart from its other funds in
          trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the
          Series E Preferred Units so called for redemption, so
          as to be, and to continue to be available therefor,
          then, from and after the Series E Redemption Date,
          Distributions on the Series E Preferred Units so called
          for redemption shall cease to accumulate, and said
          units shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and
          shall not have the status of Series E Preferred Units
          and all rights of the General Partner as holder thereof
          (except the right to receive the Series E Redemption
          Price) shall cease.  Upon surrender, in accordance with
          such notice, of the certificates for any Series E
          Preferred Units so redeemed (properly endorsed or
          assigned for transfer, if the Partnership shall so
          require and the notice shall so state), such Series E
          Preferred Units shall be redeemed by the Partnership at
          the Series E Redemption Price.  In case fewer than all
          the Series E Preferred Units represented by any such
          certificate are redeemed, a new certificate or
          certificates shall be issued representing the
          unredeemed Series E Preferred Units without cost to the
          holder thereof.

               (iii)     Any funds deposited with a bank or trust
          company for the purpose of redeeming Series E Preferred
          Units shall be irrevocable except that:

                    (A)  the Partnership or the General Partner,
               as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive
               from such bank or trust company the interest or
               other earnings, if any, earned on any money so
               deposited in trust; and

                    (B)  any balance of monies so deposited and
               unclaimed by the General Partner, as holder of the
               Series E Preferred Units entitled thereto at the
               expiration of two years from the applicable Series
               E Redemption Date shall be repaid, together with
               any interest or other earnings earned thereon, to
               the Partnership, and after any such repayment, the
               General Partner as holder of the units entitled to
               the funds so repaid to the Partnership shall look
               only to the Partnership for payment without
               interest or other earnings.

               (iv) No Series E Preferred Units may be redeemed
          except from proceeds from the sale or other issuance of
          other equity interests of the Partnership.

               (v)  Unless full accumulated distributions on all
          Series E Preferred Units shall have been or
          contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and
          a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for
          payment for all past Distribution Periods and the then
          current Distribution Period, no Series E Preferred
          Units shall be redeemed or purchased or otherwise
          acquired directly or indirectly by the Partnership or
          any subsidiary of the Partnership (except by conversion
          into or exchange for Junior Units) and no preferred
          units of the Partnership shall be redeemed unless all
          outstanding Series E Preferred Units are simultaneously
          redeemed; provided, however, that the foregoing shall
          not prevent the redemption of Series E Preferred Units
          to preserve the REIT status of the General Partner or
          the purchase or acquisition of Series E Preferred Units
          pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the
          same terms to holders of all outstanding Series E
          Preferred Units.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
          case of a Redemption Request (as defined below) which
          has not been fulfilled at the time the General Partner
          gives notice of its election to redeem all or any
          Series E Preferred Shares, the Series E Preferred Units
          which are the subject of such pending Redemption
          Request shall be redeemed prior to any other Series E
          Preferred Units.

     (f)  Voting Rights.  Except as required by law, and as set
forth below, the holders of the Series E Preferred Units shall
not be entitled to vote at any meeting for any purpose or
otherwise to participate in any action taken by the Partnership
or the Partners, or to receive notice of any meeting of Partners.

          (1)  So long as any Series E Preferred Units remain
     outstanding, the Partnership will not, without the
     affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-
     thirds of the Series E Preferred Units outstanding at the
     time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a
     meeting (such series voting separately as a class),
     (i) authorize or create, or increase the authorized or
     issued amount of, any class or series of units ranking prior
     to the Series E Preferred Units with respect to the payment
     of Distributions or the distribution of assets upon
     liquidation, dissolution or winding up or reclassify any
     authorized units of the Partnership into such units, or
     create, authorize or issue any obligation or security
     convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any
     such units; or (ii) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of
     the Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
     Partnership, as amended, whether by merger, consolidation or
     otherwise (an "Event"), so as to materially and adversely
     affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of
     the Series E Preferred Units or the holders thereof;
     provided, however, with respect to the occurrence of any of
     the Events set forth in (ii) above, so long as the Series E
     Preferred Units remain outstanding with the terms thereof
     materially unchanged, taking into account that upon the
     occurrence of an Event, the Partnership may not be the
     surviving entity, the occurrence of any such Event shall not
     be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights,
     preferences, privileges or voting power of holders of Series
     E Preferred Units and provided further that (x) any increase
     in the amount of the authorized preferred units or the
     creation or issuance of any other series of preferred units,
     or (y) any increase in the amount of authorized Series E
     Preferred Units or any other preferred units, in each case
     ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series E Preferred
     Units with respect to payment of Distributions or the
     distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or
     winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely
     affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting
     powers.

          The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, at
     or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such
     vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all
     outstanding Series E Preferred Units shall have been
     redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall
     have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption.

          (2)  On each matter submitted to a vote of the holders
     of Series E Preferred Units in accordance with this Section
     4.17, or as otherwise required by law, each Series E
     Preferred Unit shall be entitled to ten (10) votes, each of
     which ten (10) votes may be directed separately by the
     holder thereof.
