its authority under and in accordance with this Agreement.

           E.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
this Agreement, until the Approval Right Termination Date, the General
Partner shall not, without the prior written consent of the Upper Tier

absolute discretion) cause or permit (to the extent within the General
Partner's reasonable control) any Adverse Transaction to occur, provided
however that the General Partner shall be under no obligation to commence
litigation or to incur any expense (unless JMB LP shall fund such expense)
in order to avoid or prevent an Adverse Transaction from occurring.  In
addition, until the Approval Right Termination Date, the General Partner
shall not, without the prior written consent of the Upper Tier limited
Partnership (which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute
discretion), have the power to take, on behalf of the Partnership as a
limited partner of the Property Owning Partnerships, the following actions:

                 1.   Consent to any Adverse Transaction (as such term is

partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited
liability) in the State of Delaware and any other state, or the District of

assets to its Subsidiaries or other Persons in which it has an equity
investment and such Persons may borrow funds from the Partnership, on terms

Transfer assets to joint ventures, other partnerships, corporations or

behalf of the Partnership, employee benefit plans, stock option plans, and
similar plans funded by the Partnership for the benefit of employees of the

           Section 8.6INDEMNIFICATION

           A.    To the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, the
Partnership shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, 


















                                  29




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, the Property
Owning Partnerships or any Subsidiary of the Partnership (including,
without limitation, any indebtedness which the Partnership, the Property
Owning Partnerships or any Subsidiary of 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 Section 8.6 in
favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such
indebtedness.  Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.6 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 Section 8.6.

           B.    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.

           C.    The indemnification provided by this Section 8.6 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 unless otherwise provided in a written
agreement pursuant to which such Indemnities are indemnified.

           D.    The Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to,
purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of the Indemnities 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.

           E.    For purposes of this Section 8.6, the Partnership shall
be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an
employee benefit plan whenever the performance by such Indemnitee of its
duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves
services by, such Indemnitee to the plan or participants or beneficiaries
of the plan; 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 8.6; and 

















                                  30




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 participant and beneficiaries
of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the
best interests of the Partnership.

           F.    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.

           G.    An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in
whole or in part under this Section 8.6 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.

           H.    The provisions of this Section 8.6 are for the benefit of
the Indemnities, 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 Section 8.6 or any
provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect
the Partnership's liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 8.6, 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.

           Section 8.7LIABILITY OF THE GENERAL PARTNER

           A.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
this Agreement, the General Partner and its officers and directors shall
not be liable for monetary damages to the Partnership, any Partners or any
Assignees for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of
errors in judgement or of any act or omission if the General Partner acted
in good faith; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the foregoing shall not be deemed to
exculpate the General Partner from any liability the General Partner may
have under the GP Contribution Agreement.

           B.    The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the
General Partner is acting on behalf of the Partnership and the stockholders
of the General Partner collectively, that the General Partner, subject to
the provisions of Section 8.1E hereof, is under no obligation to consider
the separate interest of the Limited Partners in deciding whether to cause
the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions, and that 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.  With respect to any indebtedness of the
Partnership which any Limited Partner may have guaranteed, the General
Partner shall have no duty to keep such indebtedness outstanding.

           C.    Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner
set forth in Section 8.1A hereof, the General Partner may exercise any of
the powers granted to it by this 
















                                  31




Agreement and perform any duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly
or by or through its agent.  The General Partner shall not be responsible
for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by
the General Partner in good faith.

           Section 8.8OTHER MATTERS CONCERNING THE GENERAL PARTNER

           A.    The General Partner may rely and shall be protected in
acting, or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
bond, debenture, or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to
be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties.

           B.    The General Partner may consult with legal counsel,
accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers,
architects, engineers, environmental consultants and other consultants and
advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in
reliance upon the advice or opinion of such Persons as to matters which
such General Partner reasonably believes to be within such Person's
professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have
been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such advice or
opinion.

           C.    The General Partner shall have the right, in respect of
any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of its duly
authorized officers and duly appointed attorneys-in-fact.  Each such
attorney shall, to the extent provided by the General Partner in the power
of attorney, have full power and authority to do and perform all and every
act and duty which is permitted or required to be done by the General
Partner hereunder.

           D.    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement
(other than Section 8.1E) 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 omission is necessary or advisable in order (i)
to protect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a
REIT; or (ii) to avoid the General Partner incurring any taxes under
Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, is expressly authorized under this
Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners.

           Section 8.9TITLE TO PARTNERSHIP ASSETS

           Title to 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.  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 asset for which legal title is held in the name of the 

















                                  32




General Partner or any nominee or Affiliate of the General Partner shall be
held by the General Partner 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 beneficial and record
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.

           Section 8.10     RELIANCE BY THIRD PARTIES

           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any
Person dealing with the Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the
General Partner has full power and authority, without consent or approval
of any other Partner or Person, to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any
manner any and all assets of the Partnership and to enter into any
contracts on behalf of the Partnership, and take any and all actions on
behalf of the Partnership, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with
the General Partner as if the General Partner were the Partnership's sole
party in interest, both legally and beneficially.  Each Limited Partner
hereby waives any and all defenses or other remedies which may be available
against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the
General Partner in connection with any such dealing.  In no event shall any
Person dealing with the General Partner or its representatives be obligated
to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to
inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the
General Partner or its representatives.  Each and every certificate,
document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Partnership by the

such period of time as the General Partner determines in its sole and
absolute discretion to be reasonable, any information (other than
information partners of the Limited Partners require in order to comply

           Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall,
in its sole and absolute discretion, determine whether to make any
available election pursuant to the Code.  In addition, the Upper Tier

its services.  All third party costs and expenses incurred by the tax
matters partner in performing its duties as such (including legal and
accounting fees and expenses) shall be borne by the Partnership.  Nothing
herein shall be construed to restrict the Partnership from engaging an
accounting firm to assist the tax matters partner in discharging its duties
hereunder, so long as the compensation paid by the Partnership for such
services is reasonable.

           Section 11.4     ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES

           The Partnership shall elect to deduct expenses, if any,
incurred by it in organizing the Partnership ratably over a sixty (60)

allocable to such Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement, including,
without limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the
Partnership pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, or 1446 of the Code. 
Any amounts withheld shall be treated as having been distributed to such
Limited Partner.

transaction by which the General Partner purports to assign all or any part
of its General Partner Interest to another Person or by which a Limited

Upper Tier Limited Partnership, to acquire or cause its designee to acquire
the Partnership Interest of the Limited Partner, free and clear of any

Agreement), for an amount (the "PURCHASE PRICE AMOUNT") equal to the
greater of (x) the amount that would be distributed to the Limited Partner
pursuant to Section 14.2 of this Agreement (after repaying all debt
encumbering the Properties) if the Properties were sold (and all proceeds
therefrom were distributed to the Property Owning Partnerships' partners in
accordance with the Property Owning Partnership Agreements) for a cash
amount equal to the quotient of (A) the product of two times the
Properties' Net Operating Income for the period of January 1, 2000 through
June 30, 2000 and (B) 0.12, and (y) $100. If the exercise of the Purchase
Right is prior to January 2, 2001 pursuant to clause (i) or (iii) above,
then the amount to be calculated under clause (A) above shall be calculated
in the manner provided in clause (A) of paragraph C below.  The Purchase
Right shall be exercised upon fifteen (15) business days' prior written

days prior to January 2, 2001 or an earlier Default Date) and shall be
consummated, without any action on the part of the Limited Partner, on the
fifteenth business day following delivery of the Purchase Right Notice. 
The Limited Partner hereby constitutes and appoints the General Partner and
its authorized officers and attorneys-in-fact, in each case with full power
of substitution, as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with
full power and authority in its name, place and stead to execute, swear to,

form and substance acceptable to the General Partner which will be
guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America and
which will have a market value as of January 2, 2001 of $10,000,000 (the
"JMB COLLATERAL").  The General Partner shall hold the JMB Collateral in
accordance with the terms hereof and JMB LP hereby grants to the General
Partner a first priority perfected security interest therein and agrees to
take such actions as the General Partner may reasonably request to ratify,

and continue such security interest.  JMB LP shall be charged with all
income accrued under the JMB Collateral prior to its liquidation and
application by the General Partner in accordance herewith.  The General
Partner may, at its election, liquidate the JMB Collateral and hold or

officers, directors, partners, stockholders, agents or affiliates
(collectively, the "CONTROLLED ENTITIES") intentionally interferes with,
impedes or prevents (including, without limitation, the filing by JMB LP of
a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or
state bankruptcy or insolvency statute or any Controlled Entity joining an
involuntary petition against JMB LP under the Bankruptcy Code or such other
statute) (x) the exercise by the General Partner of the Purchase Right or
(y) any disposition, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or
exchange of the Properties by the Property Owning Partnerships or the
Property Owning Partnership Interests by the Partnership or the merger or
other combination of the Property Owning Partnerships or the Partnership
with or into another entity, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, provided that such disposition, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance,
hypothecation, exchange, merger or other combination does not constitute an
Adverse Transaction ("PROHIBITED ACTION") and (2) the Prohibited Action is
not revoked or rescinded within sixty (60) days after notice by the
indemnitee thereunder to the JMB Indemnitors so as to permit the
consummation of the transaction described in clause (x) or (y) above
unimpeded by any action by JMB LP or any of the Controlled Entities.  If
JMB LP shall take a Prohibited Action (the date of such Prohibited Action
being the "DEFAULT DATE"), the General Partner shall have the continuing
right at any time after the Default Date to exercise the Purchase Right
pursuant to Section 12.2A.  The General Partner shall deliver the JMB
Collateral to JMB LP upon the expiration of the preference period under
Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code following (A) the transfer of the
interest of JMB LP to or at the direction of the general partner of the
Limited Partner pursuant to JMB's put right contained in the Agreement of
Limited Partnership of the Limited Partner, (B) the transfer of the
interest of the Limited Partner pursuant to the Purchase Right or the Put

this Agreement, in each case without JMB LP or any other Controlled Entity
having taken any Prohibited Action, or (D) receipt by the General Partner
of all amounts payable under the JMB Indemnity following the occurrence of
a Prohibited Action.  The General Partner's right to apply the proceeds of
the JMB Collateral as provided herein shall be reduced on a dollar for
dollar basis to the extent the General Partner receives payments from the
JMB Indemnitors under the JMB Indemnity in excess of $15,000,000.

           C.    The Limited Partner shall have the continuing right (the
"PUT RIGHT") exercisable at any time to require the General Partner to
purchase the Partnership Interest of the Limited Partner, free and clear of
all liens, restrictions, and encumbrances (other than those set forth in
the Agreement) for a cash amount (the "PUT PRICE") equal to the greater of
(x) the amount that would be distributed to the Limited Partner pursuant to
Section 14.2 of this Agreement (after repaying all debt encumbering the
Property) if the Property were sold for a cash amount equal to the quotient
of (A) the Property's Net Operating Income for the 















                                  40




period provided in the last sentence of this paragraph C and (B) 0.12, and
(y) $100.  The Put Right shall be exercised by the Limited Partner upon
fifteen (15) days prior written notice (the "PUT RIGHT NOTICE") to the
General Partner and shall be consummated, without any action on the part of
the Limited Partner exercises the Put Right, the Put Price shall be
calculated based on the Property's Net Operating Income for the immediately
preceding calendar year.

           D.    In connection with the exercise of either the Purchase
Right or the Purchase Right, the Limited Partner shall pay all transfer
taxes, gain taxes and other similar costs related to the exercise of such
rights, including, in the case of the Put Right, any additional transfer
taxes and transfer gains taxes which would be retroactively assessed with
respect to the transfer of the Properties to the Property Owning
Partnerships pursuant to the Plan by reason of the exercise of the Put
Right.

           Section 14.2     WINDING UP

           A.    Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the
Partnership shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its
affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the
claims of its creditors and Partners.  No Partner shall take any action
that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the
winding up of the Partnership's business and affairs.  The General Partner,
or, in the event there is no remaining General Partner, any Person elected
by Limited Partners holding at least a majority of the Limited Partnership
Interests (the General Partner or such other Person being referred to
herein as the "LIQUIDATOR"), shall be responsible for overseeing the
winding up and dissolution of the Partnership and shall take full account
of the Partnership's liabilities and property and the Partnership property
shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair
value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom (which may, to the extent
determined by the General Partner, include shares of beneficial interest or

           (1)   First, to the payment and discharge of all of the
Partnership's debts and liabilities to creditors other than the Partners;

           (4)   The balance, if any, to the General Partner and Limited

                                  45




                 Accounts after giving effect to all contributions,
distributions, and allocations for all periods.

The General Partner shall not receive any additional compensation for any
services performed pursuant to this Article 14.

           B.    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.2A hereof
which require liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to
the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution
of the Partnership the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale e of
part or all of the Partnership's assets would be impractical or would cause
undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any asset except
those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (including to
those Partners as creditors) and/or distribute to the Partners, in lieu of
cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section
14.2A hereof, undivided interests in such Partnership assets as the
Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation.  Any such distributions in
kind shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator,
such distributions in kind are in the best interests of the Partners, and
shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and
management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and
equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties
at such time.  The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any
property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as
it may adopt.

           C.    In the discretion of the Liquidator, a pro rata portion
of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the General Partner
and Limited Partners pursuant to this Article 14 may be:

                 (1)  distributed to a trust established for the benefit
of the General Partner and Limited Partners for the purposes of liquidating
Partnership assets, collecting amounts owed to the Partnership, and paying
any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership
or the General Partner arising out of or in connection with the
Partnership.  The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the
General Partner and Limited Partners form time to time, in the reasonable
discretion of the Liquidator, in the same proportions as the amount
distributed to such trust by the Partnership would otherwise have been
distrubuted the General Partner and Limited Partners pursuant to this
Agreement; or

                 (2)  withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable
reserve for Partnership liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to
reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the
Partnership, provided that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be
distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners 

















                                  46




                      in the manner and order of priority set forth in
Section 14.2A as soon as practicable.

           Section 14.3     NO OBLIGATION TO CONTRIBUTE DEFICIT

           If any Partner has a deficit balance in his Capital Account
(after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations
for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation
occurs), such Partner shall have no obligation to make any contribution to
the capital of the Partnership with respect to such deficit, and such
deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Partnership or to any
other Person for any purpose whatsoever.

           Section 14.4     RIGHTS OF LIMITED PARTNERS

           Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Limited
Partner shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return
of its Capital Contributions and shall have no right or power to demand or
receive property other than cash from the Partnership.  Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, no Limited Partner shall have priority over any
other Partner as to the return of its Capital Contributions, distributions,
or allocations.

           Section 14.5     NOTICE OF DISSOLUTION

           In the event a Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs that
would, but for the provisions of an election or objection by one or more
Partners pursuant to Section 14.1, result in a dissolution of the
Partnership, the General Partner shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter,
provide written notice thereof to each of the Partners.

           Section 14.6     TERMINATION OF PARTNERSHIP AND CANCELLATION
OF CERTIFICATE OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

           Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership's
assets, as provided in Section 14.2 hereof, the Partnership shall be
terminated, a certificate of cancellation shall be filed, and all
qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership in
jurisdictions other than the state of Delaware shall be canceled and such
other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership shall be
taken.

           Section 14.7     REASONABLE TIME FOR WINDING-UP

           A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding-up
of the business and affairs of the Partnership and liquidation of its
assets pursuant to Section 14.2 hereof in order to minimize any losses
otherwise attendant upon such winding-up, and the provisions of this
Agreement shall remain in effect among the Partners during the period of
liquidation.

                               EXHIBIT A
                               ---------




1.   ALLOCATION OF NET INCOME AND NET LOSS.

     (a)   NET INCOME.  Except as otherwise provided in this Exhibit A,
Net Income (or items thereof) (other than Net Income, or items thereof,
arising in connection with a Capital transaction) of the Partnership for
any fiscal year or other applicable period shall be allocated to the
Partners first in accordance with any prior allocation of Net Losses, other
than Nonrecourse Deductions and Partner Nonrecourse Deductions, pro rata,
until each Partner has been allocated an amount of Net Income pursuant to
this clause equal to the cumulative amount of Net Losses, other than
Nonrecourse Deductions and Partner Nonrecourse Deductions, that have been
allocated to such Partner, and thereafter to the Partners in accordance
with the manner in which Available Cash has been (or would be, if the
Partnership had an amount of Available Cash equal to such Net Income)
distributed to the Partners, other than distributions representing a return
of Capital Contributions.

     (b)   NET LOSS.  Except as otherwise provided in this Exhibit A, Net
Loss (or items thereof) (other than Net Loss, or items thereof, arising in
connection with a Capital Transaction) of the Partnership for each fiscal
year or other applicable period shall be allocated to the Partners first in
accordance with the positive Capital Account balances of the Partners, pro
rata, until such Capital Accounts have been reduced to zero, and thereafter
95% to the General Partner and 5% to the Limited Partner.  Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, to the extent any Net Loss (or items thereof)
allocated to a Partner under this subparagraph (b) would cause such Partner
(hereinafter, a "Restricted Partner") to have an Adjusted Capital account
Deficit, or increase the amount of an existing Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit, as of the end of the fiscal year or other applicable period to
which such Net Loss relates, such Net Loss shall not be allocated to such
Restricted Partner and instead shall be allocated to the other Partner(s)
(hereinafter, the "Permitted Partner").

     (c)   CAPITAL TRANSACTION; LIQUIDATION.  Allocations of Net Income or
Net Loss (or items thereof) in connection with a Capital Transaction or
Liquidation of the Partnership shall first be made so that, to the extent
possible, the General Partner's Capital Account balance is the Adjusted GP
Contribution and the Limited Partner's Capital Account is equal to
$100,000, and the remainder of such Net Income or Net Loss (or items
thereof) shall be allocated to the Partners in a manner that results in the
Capital Account of each Partner being equal to the distribution to which
each such Partner is entitled pursuant to paragraph 4 of this Exhibit A. 
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, to the extent any Net Loss (or
items thereof) would be allocated to a Restricted Partner under this
subparagraph (c), such Net Loss shall not be allocated to such Restricted
Partner and instead shall be allocated to the Permitted Partner.


















                                  A-1




     (d)   RULES OF CONSTRUCTION.

           (1)   CAPITAL ACCOUNT INCREASES.  For purposes of making
allocations pursuant to subparagraph 1(c) of this Exhibit A, a Partner's
Capital Account balance shall be deemed to be increased by such Partner's
share of any Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Minimum Gain remaining at
the close of the fiscal period in respect of which such allocations are
being made.

           (2)   CHANGE IN PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS.  In the event any
Partner's Partnership Interest changes during a fiscal year for any reason,
including without limitation, the Transfer of any interest in the
Partnership, the tax allocations contained in this Exhibit A shall be
applied as necessary to reflect the varying interests of the Partners
during such year.

2.   SPECIAL ALLOCATIONS.   Notwithstanding any provisions of paragraph 1
of this Exhibit A, the following special allocations shall be made.

     (a)   MINIMUM GAIN CHARGEBACK (NONRECOURSE LIABILITIES).  Except as
otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations, if there is a
net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for any Partnership fiscal year,
each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and
gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal
to such Partner's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain to
the extent required by Regulations Section 1.704-2(f).  The items to be so
allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(f) and
(i) of the Regulations.  This subparagraph 2(a) is intended to comply with
the minimum gain chargeback requirement in said section of the Regulations
and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.  Allocations pursuant to
this subparagraph 2(a) shall be made in proportion to the respective
amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant hereto.

     (b)   PARTNER MINIMUM GAIN CHARGEBACK.  Except as otherwise provided
in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations, if there is a net decrease in
Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any
fiscal year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain
attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance
with Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, shall be specially allocated
items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary,
subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Partner's share of the net
decrease in the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner
Nonrecourse Debt to the extent and in the manner required by Section 1.704-
2(i) of the Regulations.  The items to be so allocated shall be determined
in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and (j)(2)(ii) of the
Regulations.  This subparagraph 2(b) is intended to comply with the minimum
gain chargeback requirement with respect to Partner Nonrecourse Debt
contained in Section 1.704-2 of the Regulations and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith.  Allocations pursuant to this subparagraph 2(b)
shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be
allocated to each Partner pursuant hereto.



















                                  A-2




     (c)   QUALIFIED INCOME OFFSET.  In the event a Partner unexpectedly
receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in
Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of the Regulations, and such
Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Partnership
income (including gross income) and gain shall be specially allocated to
such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible as required by the
Regulations.  This subparagraph 2(c) is intended to constitute a "qualified
income offset" under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations and
shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

     (d)   NONRECOURSE DEDUCTIONS.  Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal
year or other applicable period shall be allocated to the Partners in
accordance with their respective Partnership Interests.

     (e)   PARTNER NONRECOURSE DEDUCTIONS.  Partner Nonrecourse Deductions
for any fiscal year or other applicable period with respect to a Partner
Nonrecourse Debt shall be specially allocated to the Partner that bears the
economic risk of loss for such Partner Nonrecourse Debt (as determined
under Sections 1.704-2(b)(4) and 1.704-2(i)(l) of the Regulations).

     (f)   INTENT OF ALLOCATIONS.  The parties intend that the allocation
provisions of this Exhibit A shall result in final Capital Account balances
of the Partners that equal to the amounts distributable to the Partners in
accordance with paragraph 4(b) of this Exhibit A, so that when liquidating
distributions are made in accordance with such final Capital Account
balances under Section 14.2A(4) hereof, such distributions will be able to
return to each Partner the amounts distributable to the Partner in
accordance with paragraph 4(b) of this Exhibit A.  To the extent that such
final Capital Account balances do not so reflect the intent of this Exhibit
A, income and loss of the Partnership for the current year and future
years, as computed for book purposes, shall be allocated among the Partners
so as to result in final Capital Account balances reflecting the intent of
this Exhibit A.  This subparagraph shall control notwithstanding any
reallocation of income, loss, or items thereof, as computed for book
purposes, by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

     (g)   SECTION 754 ADJUSTMENT.  To the extent an adjustment to the
adjusted tax basis of any asset of the Partnership pursuant to Section
734(b) of the Code or Section 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) of the Regulations, to be taken into account
in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the
Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment
increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such
basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated among the
Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which each of their
respective Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such
section of the Regulations.






















                                  A-3




3.   TAX ALLOCATIONS.

     (a)   ITEMS OF INCOME OR LOSS.  Except as is otherwise provided in
this Exhibit A, an allocation of Partnership Net Income or Net Loss to a
Partner shall be treated as an allocation to such Partner of the same share
of each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and item of tax-exempt income
or Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditure (or item treated as such expenditure
pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i)) ("Tax Items") that is
taken into account in computing Net Income or Net Loss.

     (b)   SECTION 1245/1250 RECAPTURE.  If any portion of gain from the
sale of Partnership assets is treated as gain which is ordinary income by
virtue of the application of Code Sections 1245 or 1250 ("Affected Gain"),
then such Affected Gain shall be allocated among the Partners in the same
proportion that the depreciation and amortization deductions giving rise to
the Affected Gain were allocated.  This subparagraph 3(b) shall not alter
the amount of Net Income (or items thereof) allocated among the Partners,
but merely the character of such Net Income (or items thereof).  For
purposes hereof, in order to determine the proportionate allocations of
depreciation and amortization deductions for each fiscal year or other
applicable period, such deductions shall be deemed allocated on the same
basis as Net Income and Net Loss for such respective period.

     (c)   PRECONTRIBUTION GAIN.  The Partnership shall use the remedial
method of allocation contained in Section 1.704-3(d) of the Regulations to
take into account any variation between the adjusted basis and the fair
market value of the Initial LP Contributed Property and the Contributed
Debt at the time of the contribution ("Precontribution Gain").  By
executing this Agreement, each partner hereby agrees to report income,
gain, loss and deduction on such Partner's federal income tax return in a
manner that is consistent with the use of the remedial method of allocation
with respect to the Initial LP Contributed Property and the Contributed
Debt.  With respect to any Contributed Property other than the Initial LP
Contributed Property and the Contributed Debt, the Partnership shall use
any permissible method contained in the Regulations promulgated under
Section 704(c) of the Code selected by the General Partner, in its sole
discretion, to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis
of such asset and the fair market value of such asset as the time of the
contribution, provided that such method does not cause 237 Park Avenue
Associates (or its successor by merger) or its members any material adverse
income tax consequences.  Each Partner hereby agrees to report income,
gain, loss and deduction on such Partner's federal income tax return in a
manner consistent with the method used by the Partnership.

     (d)   ALLOCATIONS RESPECTING SECTION 704(c) AND REVALUATIONS.  If any
assets has a Gross Asset Value which is different from the Partnership's
adjusted basis for such asset for federal income tax purposes because the
Partnership has revalued such asset pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-
1(b)(2)(iv)(f), the allocations of Tax Items shall be made in accordance
with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations and
the methods of allocation promulgated thereunder, provided, however, that
with respect to the Initial LP Contributed Property and the Contributed
Debt, income, gain, loss and deduction

















                                  A-4



















                                  A-4




with respect to such property shall be allocated using the "remedial
method" described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b).  The intent of this
subparagraph 3(d) and subparagraph 3(c) above is that each Partner who
contributed to the capital of the Partnership a Contributed Property will
bear, through reduced allocations of depreciation, increased allocations of
gain or other items, the tax detriments associated with any Precontribution
Gain.  This subparagraph 3(d) and subparagraph 3(c) are to be interpreted
consistently with such intent.

     (e)   EXCESS NONRECOURSE LIABILITY SAFE HARBOR.  Pursuant to
Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), for purposes of determining each
Partner's proportionate share of the "excess nonrecourse liabilities" of
the Partnership (as defined in Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3)), the
Partners' respective interests in Partnership profits shall be determined
in accordance with each Partner's Partnership Interest; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that each Partner who has contributed an asset to the Partnership shall be
allocated, to the extent possible, a share of "excess nonrecourse
liabilities" of the Partnership which results in such Partner being
allocated nonrecourse liabilities in an amount which is at least equal to
the amount of income pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code and the
Regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Liability Shortfall").  In the
event there is an insufficient amount of nonrecourse liabilities to
allocate to each Partner an amount of nonrecourse liabilities equal to the
Liability Shortfall, then an amount of nonrecourse liabilities to the
extent of, the Liability Shortfall shall be allocated to the Upper Tier
Limited Partnership.  The intended effect of using the "remedial method"
described in Regulation Section 1.704-3(d) shall be that the Upper Tier
Limited Partnership shall receive an allocation of Partnership Nonrecourse
Liabilities that on the date hereof is not less than $380,000,000.

     (f)   REFERENCES TO REGULATIONS.  Any reference in this Exhibit A or
the Agreement to a provision of proposed and/or temporary Regulations
shall, in the event such provision is modified or renumbered, be deemed to
refer to the successor provision as so modified or renumbered, but only to
the extent such successor provision applies to the Partnership under the
effective date rules applicable to such successor provision.

     (g)   SUCCESSOR PARTNERS.  For purposes of this Exhibit A, a
transferee of a Partnership Interest shall be deemed to have been allocated
the Net Income, Net Loss and other items of Partnership income, gain, loss,
deduction and credit allocable to the transferred Partnership Interest that
previously have been allocated to the transferor Partner pursuant to this
Agreement.

                              WITNESSETH:
                              ----------

     WHEREAS, each Indemnitor is a partner in JMB/NYC Office Building
Associates, L.P. ("JMB LP"), an Illinois limited partnership and a member
of 237 Park Avenue Associates, LLC and 1290 Associates, LLC (collectively,

among O&Y Equity Corp., Olympia & York Holdings Corporation, FAME

     WHEREAS, the Debtors defaulted under the Indenture beyond the
expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods;

     WHEREAS, the Debtors, JMB LP and the Indemnitors requested that the
Trustee and the holders of the Existing Notes forbear from exercising 






























                                  -1-




their rights to pursue an action to foreclose the Indenture in order to
provide the Debtors with an opportunity to file a pre-negotiated plan of
reorganization (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") under the Bankruptcy
Code, which Plan provides for, among other things:  (i) a transfer of the
Properties to the Property Owning Partnerships, (ii) the Lower Tier

Property Owning Partnerships, (iii) the Upper Tier Partnership to own a 5%
interest as a limited partner in the Lower Tier Partnership, and (iv) JMB

Partnership;

     WHEREAS, the Trustee and the holders of the Existing Notes were
willing to forbear from exercising their rights to pursue an action to
foreclose the Indenture and to proceed with the transactions contemplated
by the Plan only if the Indemnitors execute and deliver this
Indemnification agreement to the Indemnitee and the Plan and the Agreements
of Limited Partnership of the Upper Tier Partnership and the Lower Tier
Partnership require that JMB LP cause the Indemnitors to execute and
deliver this Indemnity Agreement to the Indemnitee;

     WHEREAS, the Plan was filed with the Bankruptcy Court on April 23,
1996 and became effective pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court
entered on September 20, 1996 and, pursuant to the terms thereof;

     WHEREAS, the Indemnitors will materially benefit from the
consummation of the transactions provided for in and the Plan and described
above;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in
order to induce the Trustee and the holders of the Existing Notes to
forbear from exercising their rights as hereinbefore stated and such
parties





































                                  -2-




and the Indemnitee to proceed with the transactions contemplated by the
Plan, the Indemnitors hereby covenant and agree with the Indemnitee as
follows:

     1.    Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings provided in the Plan.

     2.    The Indemnitors absolutely and unconditionally agree to
indemnify and to hold Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all
losses, claims, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable counsel fees) of any nature whatsoever, contingent
or otherwise, foreseen or unforeseen, which Indemnitee may or shall incur
as a result of any of JMB LP, its officers, directors, partners (including
without limitation any Indemnitor), stockholders, agents or affiliates
(collectively, the "Controlled Entities") intentionally interfering with,
impeding or preventing (including, without limitation, the filing by JMB LP
of a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or
state bankruptcy or insolvency statute or any Controlled Entity joining in
an involuntary petition against JMB LP under the Bankruptcy Code or such
other statute) (x) the exercise by the Indemnitee of the Purchase Right (as
defined in Section 12.2A of the Lower Tier Partnership Agreement) or (y)
any disposition, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or exchange
of the Properties by the Property Owning Partnerships or the Property
Owning Partnership Interests (as defined in Lower Tier Partnership
Agreement) by the Lower Tier Partnership or the Merger or other combination
of the Property Owning Partnership or the Lower Tier Partnership with or
into another entity, in accordance with the terms of the Lower Tier
Partnership Agreement, provided that such disposition, mortgage, pledge,
encumbrance, hypothecation, exchange, merger or other combination does not
constitute an Adverse Transaction as defined in the agreement of limited
partnership of the Lower Tier Partnership ("Prohibited Actions"), and
provided that any such Prohibited Action is not revoked or rescinded within
the time period provided in paragraph 3 below.





































                                  -3-




     3.    In the event that any Indemnitor or Controlled Entity takes any
Prohibited Action (including, without limitation, the filing by or against
JMB LP of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or
state bankruptcy or insolvency statute), the Indemnitors (x) acknowledge
(and Indemnitee, by its acceptance of this Indemnification Agreement,
acknowledges) that the damage to be suffered by Indemnitee shall be
difficult or impossible to ascertain and (y) if the Prohibited Action is
not revoked or rescinded within sixty (60) days after notice by Indemnitee
to Indemnitors so as to permit the consummation of the transaction
described in clause (x) or (y) of paragraph 2 above unimpeded by any
actions by JMB LP or any of the Controlled Entities, absolutely and
unconditionally agree to pay to Indemnitee upon demand the Maximum
Indemnitors' Liability Amount (as hereinafter defined) as full liquidated
damages for, and in satisfaction of, the undersigned's obligations under
this Indemnification Agreement, including but not limited to the
Indemnitors' obligations under paragraph 2 hereof.  The Indemnitor
acknowledges and agrees that (and Indemnitee, by its acceptance of this
Indemnification Agreement, acknowledges and agrees that) the payment of the
Maximum Indemnitors' Liability Amount is a fair and reasonable remedy for
Indemnitee if any of the events set forth in paragraph 2 of this
Indemnification Agreement shall occur, as any such event will result in
Indemnitee incurring damages which cannot now be determined with any degree
of certainty.  The foregoing shall not limit the remedies Indemnitee may
have against any other party, including without limitation, JMB LP and the
right of the Indemnitors to seek injunctive relief with respect to the
Prohibited Action or specific performance of the underlying obligation.

     4.    The term "Maximum Indemnitors' Liability Amount" as used in
this Indemnification Agreement shall mean an amount equal to $25,000,000,
provided that the Maximum Indemnitors' Liability Amount shall be reduced on
a dollar for dollar basis for each dollar actually received by Indemnitee
in






































                                  -4-




respect of the JMB Collateral (as defined in the Lower Tier Partnership
Agreement).

     5.    The Indemnitors hereby consent that from time to time, before
or after the taking of any Prohibited Action by any Indemnitor or
Controlled Party, with or without further notice to or assent from the
Indemnitors, any security at any time held by or available to Indemnitee
with respect to any obligation of JMB LP, or any security at any time held
by or available to Indemnitee for any obligation of any other person or
party secondarily or otherwise responsible for the compliance by JMB LP of
its obligations under the Upper Tier and Lower Tier Partnership Agreements
(hereinafter referred to as the "Obligations"), may be exchanged,
surrendered or released and any obligation of JMB LP, or of any such other
person or party, may be changed, altered, renewed, extended, continued,
surrendered, compromised, waived or released in whole or in part, or any
default with respect thereto waived, and Indemnitee may release, in whole
or in part, the JMB Collateral or any balance of any deposit account or
credit on its books in favor of JMB LP, or of any such other person or
party, and may generally deal with JMB LP or any such security or other
person or party as Indemnitee may see fit; and the Indemnitors shall remain
bound under this Indemnification Agreement notwithstanding any such
exchange, surrender, release, change, alteration, renewal, extension,
continuance, compromise, waiver, inaction or other dealing.

     6.    This is an agreement to pay liquidated damages and not an
agreement of collection and the Indemnitor further waives any right to
require that any action be brought against JMB LP or any other person or
party or to require that resort be had to any security or to any balance of
any deposit account or credit on the books of Indemnitee in favor of JMB LP
or any other person or party.








































                                  -5-




     7.    Each reference herein to Indemnitee shall be deemed to include
its successors and assigns, in whose favor the provisions of this
Indemnification Agreement shall also inure.  This Indemnification Agreement
shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, Indemnitee and
each Indemnitor and the respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal
representatives, successors and assigns of Indemnitee and each Indemnitor;
provided, however, that the Indemnitors shall in no event or under any
circumstance have the right without obtaining the prior written consent of
Indemnitee to assign or transfer the Indemnitors' obligations and
liabilities under this Indemnification Agreement, in whole or in part, to
any other person, party or entity.

     8.    The term "Indemnitor" as used herein shall, if this
Indemnification Agreement is signed by more than one party, mean the
"Indemnitors and each of them" and each undertaking herein contained shall
be their joint and several undertaking, provided, however, that in the next
succeeding paragraph hereof the term "Indemnitor" shall mean the
"Indemnitors or any of them".

     9.    No delay on the part of Indemnitee in exercising any right or
remedy under this Indemnification Agreement or failure to exercise the same
shall operate as a waiver in whole or in part of any such right or remedy. 
No notice to or demand on the Indemnitor shall be deemed to be a waiver of
the obligation of the Indemnitor or of the right of Indemnitee to take
further action without notice or demand as provided in this Indemnification
Agreement.

     10.   This Indemnification Agreement may only be modified, amended,
changed or terminated by an agreement in writing signed by Indemnitee and
the Indemnitors.  No waiver of any term, covenant or provision of this
Indemnification Agreement shall be effective unless given in writing by







































                                  -6-




Indemnitee and if so given by Indemnitee shall only be effective in the
specific instance in which given.

     11.   The Indemnitors acknowledge that this Indemnification Agreement
and the Indemnitors' obligations under this Indemnification Agreement are
and shall at all times continue to be absolute and unconditional in all
respects.  This Indemnification Agreement sets forth the entire agreement
and understanding of Indemnitee and the Indemnitors, and, except as
otherwise herein set forth, the Indemnitors absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably waive any and all right to assert any setoff, counterclaim or
cross claim of any nature whatsoever with respect to this Indemnification
Agreement or the obligations of the Indemnitors under this Indemnification
Agreement or the obligations of any other person or party (including,
without limitation, JMB LP) relating to this Indemnification Agreement or
the obligations of the Indemnitors hereunder in any action or proceeding
brought by Indemnitee to enforce the obligations of the Indemnitors under
this Indemnification Agreement.  Nothing contained in this paragraph 11
shall limit the right of the Indemnitors to assert a defense or maintain a
separate action against Indemnitee with respect to any matter irrespective
of whether it relates to this Indemnification Agreement or the obligations
of the Indemnitors under this Indemnification Agreement.  The Indemnitors
acknowledge and Indemnitee, by its acceptance hereof, acknowledges that no
oral or other agreements, understandings, representations or warranties
exist with respect to this Indemnification Agreement or with respect to the
obligations of the Indemnitors under this Indemnification Agreement except
as specifically set forth in this Indemnification Agreement or otherwise in
writing by Indemnitee and the Indemnitors.

     12.   THE INDEMNITORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE,
AND INDEMNITEE BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
IN ANY ACTION,

SUIT OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH, OUT OF OR OTHERWISE
RELATING TO THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT.

     13.   If at any time (i) any payment, or portion thereof, made by, or
for the account of, the Indemnitors on account of the obligations under
this Indemnification Agreement, or (ii) any transaction described in clause
(x) or (y) of paragraph 2 hereof, or (iii) the consummation of the transfer
of the interest of JMB LP in the Upper Tier Partnership pursuant to the JMB
Put Right under Section 7.7 of the partnership agreement of the Upper Tier
Partnership or of the interest of the Upper Tier Partnership in the Lower
Tier Partnership pursuant to the Put Right under Section 12.2C of the
partnership agreement of the Lower Tier Partnership, is set aside by any
court or trustee having jurisdiction as a voidable preference, fraudulent
transfer or otherwise as being subject to avoidance or recovery under the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other applicable Federal or
state bankruptcy law or similar law, the Indemnitor hereby agrees that this
Indemnification Agreement (x) shall continue and remain in full force and
effect, or (y) if previously terminated as a result of the Indemnitors
having fulfilled its obligations hereunder in full or as a result of
Indemnitee having released the Indemnitors from their obligations and
liabilities hereunder, shall without further act or instrument be
reinstated and shall thereafter remain in full force and effect, in either
case with the same force and effect as though such payment or transaction
had not been made, and if applicable, as if such previous termination had
not occurred.

     14.   The Indemnitor hereby waives all defenses it may have based
upon any election of remedies by Indemnitee which destroys or impairs the
Indemnitors' subrogation rights or the Indemnitors' right to proceed
against JMB LP or any other person for reimbursement.  The foregoing
waivers include any requirement of law that Indemnitee exhaust any security
for the Obligations before proceeding under this Indemnification Agreement.

following rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to indemnitors and
agree not to assert to take advantage of any such rights or remedies:  (a)
any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority,
death or disability of any other person or persons; (b) demand, protest
and, except as set forth therein, notice of any kind; (c) any defense based
upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a
surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more
burdensome than that of the principal; and (d) any duty on the part of
Indemnitee to disclose to the Indemnitors any facts Indemnitee may now or
hereafter know about JMB LP, regardless of whether Indemnitee has reason to
believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which
the Indemnitor intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts
are unknown to Indemnitors or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate
such facts to Indemnitors.

Indemnification Agreement shall be in writing and shall be hand delivered
