signatures of the present or any future such authorized officers and may be
imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Debt Securities. The seal of the

         Only such Debt Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of

or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee upon any Debt

         In case any officer of the Partnership who shall have signed any of the
Debt Securities shall cease to be such officer before the Debt Securities so

of by the Partnership, such Debt Securities nevertheless may be authenticated
and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such Debt
Securities had not ceased to be such officer of the Partnership; and any Debt
Security may be signed on behalf of the Partnership by such Persons as, at the

of the Partnership, although at the date of such Debt Security or of the

Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section
7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon:

         (a) a copy of any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors,
certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the General Partner,
authorizing the terms of issuance of any series of Debt Securities;

         (b) an executed supplemental Indenture, if any;

         (c) an Officers' Certificate; and

               (i) that the form of such Debt Securities has been established by
          or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors or by a
          supplemental Indenture as permitted by Section 2.01 in conformity with
          the provisions of this Indenture;

               (ii) that the terms of such Debt Securities have been established

          the provisions of this Indenture;



                                       11

<PAGE>

               (iii) that such Debt Securities, when authenticated and delivered
          by the Trustee and issued by the Partnership in the manner and subject
          to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will
          constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Partnership,
          enforceable in accordance with their terms except as the
          enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or
          similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally
          and rights of acceleration and the availability of equitable remedies
          may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability;

               (iv) that the Partnership has the partnership power to issue such
          Debt Securities and has duly taken all necessary partnership action
          with respect to such issuance;

               (v) that the issuance of such Debt Securities will not contravene
          the organizational documents of the Partnership or result in any
          material violation of any of the terms or provisions of any law or
          regulation or of any material indenture, mortgage or other agreement
          known to such counsel by which the Partnership is bound;

               (vi) that authentication and delivery of such Debt Securities and
          the execution and delivery of any supplemental Indenture will not
          violate the terms of this Indenture; and

               (vii) such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

         Such Opinion of Counsel need express no opinion as to whether a court
in the United States would render a money judgment in a currency other than that
of the United States.

         The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver
any Debt Securities under this Section 2.05 if the Trustee, being advised by
counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee
in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee or a
trust committee of directors, trustees or vice presidents (or any combination
thereof) shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal
liability to existing Holders.

         The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable
to the Partnership to authenticate Debt Securities of any series. Unless limited
by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Debt
Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to
authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An
authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, paying agent or agent
for service of notices and demands.

         Unless otherwise provided in the form of Debt Security for any series,
each Debt Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

         Section 2.06. Denomination of Debt Securities.

         Unless otherwise provided in the form of Debt Security for any series,
the Debt Securities of each series shall be issuable only as fully registered
Debt Securities in such Dollar denominations as shall be specified or
contemplated by Section 2.03. In the absence of any such


                                       12

<PAGE>

specification with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, the Debt
Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any
integral multiple thereof.

         Section 2.07. Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

         (a) The Partnership shall keep or cause to be kept a register for each
series of Debt Securities issued hereunder (hereinafter collectively referred to
as the "Debt Security Register"), in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Partnership shall provide for the
registration of all Debt Securities and the transfer of Debt Securities as in
this Article II provided. At all reasonable times the Debt Security Register
shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. Subject to Section 2.15, upon due
presentment for registration of transfer of any Debt Security at any office or
agency to be maintained by the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.02, the Partnership shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Debt Security or
Debt Securities of authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal
amount. In no event may Debt Securities be issued as, or exchanged for, bearer
securities.

         Unless and until otherwise determined by the Partnership by resolution
of the Board of Directors, the register of the Partnership for the purpose of
registration, exchange or registration of transfer of the Debt Securities shall
be kept at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee and, for this
purpose, the Trustee shall be designated "Registrar."

         Debt Securities of any series (other than a Global Security, except as
set forth below) may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Debt
Securities of the same series of other authorized denominations. Subject to
Section 2.15, Debt Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at the office
or agency to be maintained by the Partnership as provided in Section 4.02, and
the Partnership shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor the Debt Security or Debt Securities which the Holder making
the exchange shall be entitled to receive.

         (b) All Debt Securities presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange or payment shall (if so required by the Partnership, the
Trustee or the Registrar) be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Partnership,
the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly
authorized in writing.

         All Debt Securities issued in exchange for or upon transfer of Debt
Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Partnership, evidencing the
same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Debt
Securities surrendered for such exchange or transfer.

         No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of
transfer of Debt Securities (except as provided by Section 2.09), but the
Partnership may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee,
assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto,
other than those expressly provided in this Indenture to be made at the
Partnership's own expense or without expense or without charge to the Holders.

         The Partnership shall not be required (i) to issue, register the
transfer of or exchange any Debt Securities for a period of 15 days next
preceding any mailing of notice of redemption of



                                       13

<PAGE>

Debt Securities of such series or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange
any Debt Securities selected, called or being called for redemption.

     Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Debt
Security, the Partnership, the Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the
Trustee, any paying agent or any Registrar may deem and treat the Person in
whose name a Debt Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Debt
Security for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal
of, and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.12) interest on, such Debt
Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Debt
Security is overdue, and none of the Partnership, the Guarantor, the Subsidiary
Guarantors, the Trustee, any paying agent or any Registrar shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

         None of the Partnership, the Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the
Trustee, any agent of the Trustee, any paying agent or any Registrar will have
any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or
payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security
or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such
beneficial ownership interests.

         Section 2.08. Temporary Debt Securities.

     Pending the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of any series, the
Partnership may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary
Debt Securities (printed, lithographed, photocopied, typewritten or
otherwiseproduced) of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form
of the definitive Debt Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in
registered form with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be
appropriate for temporary Debt Securities, all as may be determined by the
Partnership with the concurrence of the Trustee. Temporary Debt Securities may
contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as may be
appropriate. Every temporary Debt Security shall be executed by the Partnership
and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in
substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Debt
Securities.

     If temporary Debt Securities of any series are issued, the Partnership will
cause definitive Debt Securities of such series to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of such
series, the temporary Debt Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for
definitive Debt Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Debt
Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Partnership at a Place
of Payment for such series, without charge to the Holder thereof, except as
provided in Section 2.07 in connection with a transfer. Upon surrender for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Debt Securities of any series, the
Partnership shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Debt Securities of the
same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor. Until so exchanged,
temporary Debt Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debt Securities of such series.

     Upon any exchange of a portion of a temporary Global Security for a
definitive Global Security or for the individual Debt Securities represented
thereby pursuant to Section 2.07 or this Section 2.08, the temporary Global
Security shall be endorsed by the Trustee to reflect the

                                       14

<PAGE>

reduction of the principal amount evidenced thereby, whereupon the principal
amount of such temporary Global Security shall be reduced for all purposes by
the amount to be exchanged and endorsed.

         Section 2.09. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Debt Securities.

     If (a) any mutilated Debt Security is surrendered to the Trustee at its
corporate trust office or (b) the Partnership and the Trustee receive evidence
to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Debt Security,
and there is delivered to the Partnership and the Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any paying agent
harmless, and neither the Partnership nor the Trustee receives notice that such
Debt Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, then the Partnership
shall execute and, upon a Partnership Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Debt Security, a new Debt Security of the same series of like tenor,
form, terms and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously
Outstanding. Upon the issuance of any substituted Debt Security, the Partnership
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee, assessment or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses connected therewith. In case any Debt which has matured or is about to
mature or which has been called for redemption shall become mutilated or be
destroyed, lost or stolen, the Partnership may, instead of issuing a substituted
Debt Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender
thereof except in the case of a mutilated Debt Security) if the applicant for
such payment shall furnish the Partnership and the Trustee with such security or
indemnity as either may require to save it harmless from all risk, however
remote, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction
of the Partnership and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such
Debt Security and of the ownership thereof.

     Every substituted Debt Security of any series issued pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 2.09 by virtue of the fact that any Debt Security is
destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an original additional contractual
obligation of the Partnership, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debt
Security shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits
of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debt
Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. All Debt Securities shall be
held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are
exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Debt Securities, and shall preclude any and all other rights or
remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to
the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable
instruments or other securities without their surrender.

         Section 2.10. Cancellation of Surrendered Debt Securities.

     All Debt Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of
transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Partnership or any paying
agent or a Registrar, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation by it, or if
surrendered to the Trustee, shall be canceled by it, and no Debt Securities
shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the
provisions of this Indenture. All canceled Debt Securities held by the Trustee
shall be destroyed (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange
Act) and certification of their

                                       15

<PAGE>

destruction delivered to the Partnership, unless otherwise directed. On request
of the Partnership, the Trustee shall deliver to the Partnership canceled Debt
Securities held by the Trustee. If the Partnership shall acquire any of the Debt
Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or
satisfaction of the Debt represented thereby unless and until the same are
delivered or surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Partnership may
not issue new Debt Securities to replace Debt Securities it has redeemed, paid
or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

         Section 2.11. Provisions of the Indenture and Debt Securities for the
Sole Benefit of the Parties and the Holders.

     Nothing in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities, expressed or implied,
shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto,
the Holders or any Registrar or paying agent, any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant,
condition or provision herein contained; all its covenants, conditions and
provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, the Holders and any
Registrar and paying agents.

         Section 2.12. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

         (a) Interest on any Debt Security that is payable and is punctually
paid or duly provided for on any interest payment date shall be paid to the
Person in whose name such Debt Security is registered at the close of business
on the regular record date for such interest notwithstanding the cancellation of
such Debt Security upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to the regular
record date. Payment of interest on Debt Securities shall be made at the
corporate trust office of the Trustee (except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 2.03), or at the option of the Partnership, by check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Debt
Security Register or, if provided pursuant to Section 2.03 and in accordance
with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, at the option of the Holder by
wire transfer to an account designated by the Holder.

         (b) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and
Section 2.17, each Debt Security of a particular series delivered under this
Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any
other Debt Security of the same series shall carry the rights to interest
accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Debt
Security.

         Section 2.13. Securities Denominated in Dollars.

     Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for Debt Securities
of any series, payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest
on, Debt Securities of such series will be made in Dollars.

         Section 2.14. Wire Transfers.

     Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Indenture, the
Partnership may make any payment of moneys required to be deposited with the
Trustee on account of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Debt
Securities (whether pursuant to optional or mandatory redemption payments,
interest payments or otherwise) by wire transfer in

                                       16

<PAGE>

immediately available funds to an account designated by the Trustee before 11:00
a.m., New York City time, on the date such moneys are to be paid to the Holders
of the Debt Securities in accordance with the terms hereof.

         Section 2.15. Securities Issuable in the Form of a Global Security.

         (a) If the Partnership shall establish pursuant to Sections 2.01 and
2.03 that the Debt Securities of a particular series are to be issued in whole
or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Partnership
shall execute and the Trustee or its agent shall, in accordance with Section
2.05, authenticate and deliver, such Global Security or Securities, which shall
represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of, the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series to be
represented by such Global Security or Securities, or such portion thereof as
the Partnership shall specify in an Officers' Certificate, shall be registered
in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or its
nominee, shall be delivered by the Trustee or its agent to the Depositary or
pursuant to the Depositary's instruction and shall bear a legend substantially
to the following effect:

         "UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE
OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION ("DTC"), NEW YORK, NEW
YORK, TO THE PARTNERSHIP OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR
PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR
SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY
PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO., OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN
AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR
VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED
OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

         TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN
WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF DTC OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH
SUCCESSOR'S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE
LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE
INDENTURE REFERRED TO HEREIN,"

or such other legend as may then be required by the Depositary for such Global
Security or Securities.

         (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.15 or of
Section 2.07 to the contrary, and subject to the provisions of paragraph (c)
below, unless the terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global
Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Debt Securities in
registered form, a Global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part
and in the manner provided in Section 2.07, only by the Depositary to a nominee
of the Depositary for such Global Security, or by a nominee of the Depositary to
the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or a
nominee of the Depositary to a


                                       17

<PAGE>

successor Depositary for such Global Security selected or approved by the
Partnership, or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.

         (c)(i) If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security or
         Securities notifies the Partnership that it is unwilling or unable to
         continue as Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or if at
         any time the Depositary for the Debt Securities for such series shall
         no longer be eligible or in good standing under the Exchange Act or
         other applicable statute, rule or regulation, the Partnership shall
         appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Global Security or
         Securities. If a successor Depositary for such Global Security or
         Securities is not appointed by the Partnership within 90 days after the
         Partnership receives such notice or becomes aware of such
         ineligibility, the Partnership shall execute, and the Trustee or its
         agent, upon receipt of a Partnership Order for the authentication and
         delivery of such individual Debt Securities of such series in exchange
         for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver, individual
         Debt Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive
         form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of
         the Global Security in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

         (ii) The Partnership may at any time and in its sole discretion
         determine that the Debt Securities of any series or portion thereof
         issued or issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities shall
         no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such
         event the Partnership will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a
         Partnership Order for the authentication and delivery of individual
         Debt Securities of such series in exchange in whole or in part for such
         Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Debt
         Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in
         an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such
         series or portion thereof in exchange for such Global Security or
         Securities.

         (iii) If specified by the Partnership pursuant to Sections 2.01 and
         2.03 with respect to Debt Securities issued or issuable in the form of
         a Global Security, the Depositary for such Global Security may
         surrender such Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for
         individual Debt Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in
         definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Partnership, the
         Trustee and such Depositary. Thereupon the Partnership shall execute,
         and the Trustee or its agent upon receipt of a Partnership Order for
         the authentication and delivery of definitive Debt Securities of such
         series shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, to each
         Person specified by such Depositary a new Debt Security or Securities
         of the same series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized
         denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount
         equal to and in exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the
         Global Security; and to such Depositary a new Global Security of like
         tenor and terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the
         difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered
         Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities
         delivered to Holders thereof.

         (iv) In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three
         paragraphs, the Partnership will execute and the Trustee or its agent
         will authenticate and deliver individual Debt Securities. Upon the
         exchange of the entire principal amount of a Global



                                       18

<PAGE>

         Security for individual Debt Securities, such Global Security shall be
         canceled by the Trustee or its agent. Except as provided in the
         preceding paragraph, Debt Securities issued in exchange for a Global
         Security pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be registered in such
         names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such
         Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect
         participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or the Registrar.
         The Trustee or the Registrar shall deliver such Debt Securities to the
         Persons in whose names such Debt Securities are so registered.

         (v) Payments in respect of the principal of and interest on any Debt
         Securities registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee will
         be payable to the Depositary or such nominee in its capacity as the
         registered owner of such Global Security. The Partnership and the
         Trustee may treat the Person in whose name the Debt Securities,
         including the Global Security, are registered as the owner thereof for
         the purpose of receiving such payments and for any and all other
         purposes whatsoever. None of the Partnership, the Trustee, any
         Registrar, the paying agent or any agent of the Partnership or the
         Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
         records relating to or payments made on account of the beneficial
         ownership interests of the Global Security by the Depositary or its
         nominee or any of the Depositary's direct or indirect participants, or
         for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the
         Depositary, its nominee or any of its direct or indirect participants
         relating to the beneficial ownership interests of the Global Security,
         the payments to the beneficial owners of the Global Security of amounts
         paid to the Depositary or its nominee, or any other matter relating to
         the actions and practices of the Depositary, its nominee or any of its
         direct or indirect participants. None of the Partnership, the Trustee
         or any such agent will be liable for any delay by the Depositary, its
         nominee, or any of its direct or indirect participants in identifying
         the beneficial owners of the Debt Securities, and the Partnership and
         the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying
         on, instructions from the Depositary or its nominee for all purposes
         (including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the
         respective principal amounts, of the Debt Securities to be issued).

         Section 2.16. Medium Term Securities.


     Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, if all Debt Securities of a
series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary
for the Partnership to deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate,
resolutions of the Board of Directors, supplemental Indenture, Opinion of
Counsel or written order or any other document otherwise required pursuant to
Section 2.01, 2.03, 2.05 or 13.05 at or prior to the time of authentication of
each Debt Security of such series if such documents are delivered to the Trustee
or its agent at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the
first such Debt Security of such series to be issued; provided, that any
subsequent request by the Partnership to the Trustee to authenticate Debt
Securities of such series upon original issuance shall constitute a
representation and warranty by the Partnership that, as of the date of such
request, the statements made in the Officers' Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 2.05 or 13.05 shall be true and correct as if made on such date and that
the Opinion of Counsel delivered at or prior to such time of authentication of
an original issuance of Debt Securities shall specifically state that it shall
relate to all subsequent issuances of Debt


                                       19

<PAGE>

Securities of such series that are identical to the Debt Securities issued in
the first issuance of Debt Securities of such series.

     A Partnership Order delivered by the Partnership to the Trustee in the
circumstances set forth in the preceding paragraph, may provide that Debt
Securities which are the subject thereof will be authenticated and delivered by
the Trustee or its agent on original issue from time to time upon the telephonic
or written order of Persons designated in such written order (any such
telephonic instructions to be promptly confirmed in writing by such Person) and
that such Persons are authorized to determine, consistent with the Officers'
Certificate, supplemental Indenture or resolution of the Board of Directors
relating to such written order, such terms and conditions of such Debt
Securities as are specified in such Officers' Certificate, supplemental
Indenture or such resolution.

     Section 2.17. Defaulted Interest.

     Any interest on any Debt Security of a particular series which is payable,
but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on the dates and in the manner
provided in the Debt Securities of such series and in this Indenture (herein
called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder
thereof on the relevant record date by virtue of having been such Holder, and
such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Partnership, at its election in each
case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below:

          (i) The Partnership may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
     Interest to the Persons in whose names the Debt Securities of such series
     are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the
     payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following
     manner. The Partnership shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount
     of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Debt Security of
     such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the
     Partnership shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the
     aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest
     or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit
     prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be
     held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted
     Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a
     special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall
     be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the
     proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee
     of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify
     the Partnership of such special record date and, in the name and at the
     expense of the Partnership, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of
     such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed,
     first class postage pre-paid, to each Holder thereof at its address as it
     appears in the Debt Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such
     special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
     Interest and the special record date therefor having been so mailed, such
     Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Debt
     Securities of such series are registered at the close of business on such
     special record date.



                                       20

<PAGE>

               (ii) The Partnership may make payment of any Defaulted Interest
          on the Debt Securities of such series in any other lawful manner not
          inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which
          the Debt Securities of such series may be listed, and upon such notice
          as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the
          Partnership to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this
          clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the
          Trustee.

          Section 2.18. CUSIP Numbers.

          The Partnership in issuing the Debt Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers
     (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP"
     numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that
     any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the accuracy
     of such numbers either as printed on the Debt Securities or as contained in
     any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the
     other identification numbers printed on the Debt Securities, and any such
     redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such
     numbers. The Partnership will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any
     change in the "CUSIP" numbers.

                                  ARTICLE III
                          REDEMPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

          Section 3.01. Applicability of Article.

          The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Debt
     Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity
     except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for Debt
     Securities of such series.

          Section 3.02. Notice of Redemption; Selection of Debt Securities.

          In case the Partnership shall desire to exercise the right to redeem
     all or, as the case may be, any part of the Debt Securities of any series
     in accordance with their terms, by resolution of the Board of Directors or
     a supplemental Indenture, the Partnership shall fix a date for redemption
     and shall give notice of such redemption at least 30 and not more than 60
     days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Holders of Debt
     Securities of such series so to be redeemed as a whole or in part, in the
     manner provided in Section 13.03. The notice if given in the manner herein
     provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or
     not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such
     notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Debt Security of a
     series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the
     validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Debt Security
     of such series.

          Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for
     redemption, the redemption price at which Debt Securities of such series
     are to be redeemed (or the method of calculating such redemption price),
     the Place or Places of Payment that payment will be made upon presentation
     and surrender of such Debt Securities, that any interest accrued to the
     date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that
     the redemption is for a sinking fund payment (if applicable), that, unless
     otherwise specified in such notice, that, if the Partnership defaults in
     making such redemption payment, the paying agent is prohibited from


                                       21

<PAGE>

making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, that on and after
said date any interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will
cease to accrue, that in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities original
issue discount accrued after the date fixed for redemption will cease to accrue,
the terms of the Debt Securities of that series pursuant to which the Debt
Securities of that series are being redeemed and that no representation is made
as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such
notice or printed on the Debt Securities of that series. If less than all the
Debt Securities of a series are to be redeemed the notice of redemption shall
specify the certificate numbers of the Debt Securities of that series to be
redeemed. In case any Debt Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only,
the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof
to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption,
upon surrender of such Debt Security, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of
that series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof, will be
issued.

         At least 45 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date
unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period, the Partnership shall give
written notice to the Trustee of the Redemption Date, the principal amount of
Debt Securities to be redeemed and the series and terms of the Debt Securities
pursuant to which such redemption will occur. Such notice shall be accompanied
by an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel from the Partnership to
the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein. If fewer
than all the Debt Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the record date
relating to such redemption shall be selected by the Partnership and given in
writing to the Trustee, which record date shall be not less than 15 days after
the date of notice to the Trustee.

         By 11 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date for any Debt
Securities, the Partnership shall deposit with the Trustee or with a paying
agent (or, if the Partnership is acting as its own paying agent, segregate and
hold in trust) an amount of money in Dollars (except as provided pursuant to
Section 2.03) sufficient to pay the redemption price of such Debt Securities or
any portions thereof that are to be redeemed on that date, together with any
interest accrued to the Redemption Date.

         If less than all the Debt Securities of like tenor and terms of a
series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, on a pro rata basis, by lot
or by such other method as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and
fair, the Debt Securities of that series or portions thereof (in multiples of
$1,000) to be redeemed. In any case where more than one Debt Security of such
series is registered in the same name, the Trustee in its discretion may treat
the aggregate principal amount so registered as if it were represented by one
Debt Security of such series. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Partnership
in writing of the Debt Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of
any Debt Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount
thereof to be redeemed. If any Debt Security called for redemption shall not be
so paid upon surrender thereof on such Redemption Date, the principal, premium,
if any, and interest shall bear interest until paid from the Redemption Date at
the rate borne by the Debt Securities of that series. If less than all the Debt
Securities of unlike tenor and terms of a series are to be redeemed, the
particular Debt Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the Partnership.
Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Debt Securities called for redemption
also apply to portions of Debt Securities called for redemption.

     Section 3.03. Payment of Debt Securities Called for Redemption.

     If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 3.02, the
Debt Securities or portions of Debt Securities of the series with respect to
which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at
the Place or Places of Payment stated in such notice at the applicable
redemption price, together with any interest accrued to the date fixed for
redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Partnership shall default in
the payment of such Debt Securities at the applicable redemption price, together
with any interest accrued to said date) any interest on the Debt Securities or
portions of Debt Securities of any series so called for redemption shall cease
to accrue, any original issue discount in the case of Original Issue Discount
Securities shall cease to accrue. On presentation and surrender of such Debt
Securities at the Place or Places of Payment in said notice specified, the said
Debt Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by
the Partnership at the applicable redemption price, together with any interest
accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption.

     Any Debt Security that is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered
at the corporate trust office or such other office or agency of the Partnership
as is specified pursuant to Section 2.03 with, if the Partnership, the Registrar
or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Partnership, the Registrar and the Trustee
duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing,
and the Partnership shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Holder of such Debt Security without service charge, a new Debt
Security or Debt Securities of the same series, of like tenor and form, of any
authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of
the Debt Security so surrendered; except that if a Global Security is so
surrendered, the Partnership shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver to the Depositary for such Global Security, without service charge,
a new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered. In
the case of a Debt Security providing appropriate space for such notation, at
the option of the Holder thereof, the Trustee, in lieu of delivering a new Debt
Security or Debt Securities as aforesaid, may make a notation on such Debt
Security of the payment of the redeemed portion thereof.

     Section 3.04. Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds.

     The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of
Debt Securities of any series, resolution of the Board of Directors or a
supplemental Indenture is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund
payment," and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the
terms of Debt Securities of any series, resolution of the Board of Directors or
a supplemental Indenture is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund
payment."

     In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment
with respect to any Debt Securities of a series in cash, the Partnership may at
its option (a) deliver to the Trustee Debt Securities of that series theretofore
purchased or otherwise acquired by the Partnership or (b) receive credit for the
principal amount of Debt Securities of that series which have been redeemed
either at the election of the Partnership pursuant to the terms of such Debt
Securities or


                                       23

<PAGE>

through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to
the terms of such Debt Securities, resolution or supplemental Indenture;
provided, that such Debt Securities have not been previously so credited. Such
Debt Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee
at the redemption price specified in such Debt Securities, resolution or
supplemental Indenture for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and
the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

     Section 3.05. Redemption of Debt Securities for Sinking Fund.

     Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
series of Debt Securities, the Partnership will deliver to the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund
payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, any resolution or
supplemental Indenture, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by
payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by
delivering and crediting Debt Securities of that series pursuant to this Section
3.05 (which Debt Securities, if not previously redeemed, will accompany such
certificate) and whether the Partnership intends to exercise its right to make
any permitted optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series. Such
certificate shall also state that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing with respect to such series. Such certificate shall be irrevocable
and upon its delivery the Partnership shall be obligated to make the cash
payment or payments therein referred to, if any, by 11 a.m., New York City time,
on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Partnership to
deliver such certificate (or to deliver the Debt Securities specified in this
paragraph) shall not constitute a Default, but such failure shall require that
the sinking fund payment due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date
for that series shall be paid entirely in cash and shall be sufficient to redeem
the principal amount of such Debt Securities subject to a mandatory sinking fund
payment without the option to deliver or credit Debt Securities as provided in
this Section 3.05 and without the right to make any optional sinking fund
payment, if any, with respect to such series.

     Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash
plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash
which shall equal or exceed $100,000 (or a lesser sum if the Partnership shall
so request) with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series shall
be applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund payment date on which such payment
is made (or, if such payment is made before a sinking fund payment date, on the
sinking fund payment date following the date of such payment) to the redemption
of such Debt Securities at the redemption price specified in such Debt
Securities, resolution or supplemental Indenture for operation of the sinking
fund together with any accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. Any
sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated by the Trustee to the redemption
of Debt Securities shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment received
by the Trustee for such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.05. Any and all sinking fund
moneys with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series held by the
Trustee on the last sinking fund payment date with respect to Debt Securities of
such series and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Debt
Securities shall be applied by the Trustee, together with other moneys, if
necessary, to be deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the
principal of the Debt Securities of that series at its Stated Maturity.


                                       24

<PAGE>

         The Trustee shall select the Debt Securities to be redeemed upon such
sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in the last paragraph of
Section 3.02 and the Partnership shall cause notice of the redemption thereof to
be given in the manner provided in Section 3.02 except that the notice of
redemption shall also state that the Debt Securities are being redeemed by
operation of the sinking fund. Such notice having been duly given, the
redemption of such Debt Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the
manner stated in Section 3.03.

         The Trustee shall not redeem any Debt Securities of a series with
sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of such Debt Securities by
operation of the sinking fund for such series during the continuance of a
Default in payment of interest on such Debt Securities or of any Event of
Default (other than an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of this
paragraph) with respect to such Debt Securities, except that if the notice of
redemption of any such Debt Securities shall theretofore have been mailed in
accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall redeem such Debt
Securities if cash sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the
Trustee for that purpose in accordance with the terms of this Article III.
Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time
when any such Default or Event of Default shall occur and any moneys thereafter
paid into such sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such Default or
Event of Default, be held as security for the payment of such Debt Securities;
provided, however, that in case such Default or Event of Default shall have been
cured or waived as provided herein, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on
the next sinking fund payment date for such Debt Securities on which such moneys
may be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.05.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                     PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE PARTNERSHIP

         Section 4.01. Payment of Principal of, and Premium, If Any, and
Interest on, Debt Securities.

         The Partnership, for the benefit of each series of Debt Securities,
will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and premium,
if any, and interest on, each of the Debt Securities at the place, at the
respective times and in the manner provided herein or in the Debt Securities.
Each installment of interest on the Debt Securities may at the Partnership's
option be paid by mailing checks for such interest payable to the Person
entitled thereto pursuant to Section 2.07(a) to the address of such Person as it
appears on the Debt Security Register.

         Principal, premium and interest of Debt Securities of any series shall
be considered paid on the date due if, by 11 a.m., New York City time, on such
date the Trustee or any paying agent holds in accordance with this Indenture
money sufficient to pay all principal, premium and interest then due.

         The Partnership shall pay interest on overdue principal or premium, if
any, at the rate specified therefor in the Debt Securities and it shall pay
interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent
lawful.

         Section 4.02. Maintenance of Offices or Agencies for Registration of
Transfer, Exchange and Payment of Debt Securities.

                                       25

<PAGE>

         The Partnership will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series
of Debt Securities an office or agency where Debt Securities of such series may
be presented or surrendered for payment, and it shall also maintain (in or
outside such Place of Payment) an office or agency where Debt Securities of such
series may be surrendered for transfer or exchange and where notices and demands
to or upon the Partnership in respect of the Debt Securities of such series and
this Indenture may be served. The Partnership will give prompt written notice to
the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or
agency. If at any time the Partnership shall fail to maintain any such required
office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof,
such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
office of the Trustee where its corporate trust business is principally
administered in the United States, and the Partnership hereby appoints the
Trustee as its agent to receive all presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands.

         The Partnership may also from time to time designate different or
additional offices or agencies to be maintained for such purposes (in or outside
of such Place of Payment), and may from time to time rescind any such
designation; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in
any manner relieve the Partnership of its obligations described in the preceding
paragraph. The Partnership will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
such additional designation or rescission of designation and any change in the
location of any such different or additional office or agency.

         Section 4.03. Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in the Office of Trustee.

         The Partnership, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the
office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.08, a
Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to
each series of Debt Securities.

         Section 4.04. Duties of Paying Agents, etc.

         The Partnership shall cause each paying agent, if any, other than the
Trustee, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent
shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.04,

               (i) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the
          payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, the
          Debt Securities of any series (whether such sums have been paid to it
          by the Partnership or by any other obligor on the Debt Securities of
          such series) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt
          Securities of such series;

               (ii) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the
          Partnership (or by any other obligor on the Debt Securities of such
          series) to make any payment of the principal of, and premium, if any,
          or interest on, the Debt Securities of such series when the same shall
          be due and payable; and

               (iii) that it will at any time during the continuance of an Event
          of Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to
          the Trustee all sums so held by it as such agent.

                                       26

<PAGE>

         (b) If the Partnership shall act as its own paying agent, it will, on
or before each due date of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest
on, the Debt Securities of any series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust
for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series a sum
sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due.
The Partnership will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure by the
Partnership to take such action or the failure by any other obligor on such Debt
Securities to make any payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or
interest on, such Debt Securities when the same shall be due and payable.

         (c) Anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Partnership may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to
the Trustee all sums held in trust by it or any paying agent, as required by
this Section 4.04, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as
those upon which such sums were held by the Partnership or such paying agent.

         (d) Whenever the Partnership shall have one or more paying agents with
respect to any series of Debt Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the
principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, any Debt Securities of such
series, deposit with any such paying agent a sum sufficient to pay the
principal, premium or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for
the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless any such paying agent
is the Trustee) the Partnership will promptly notify the Trustee of its action
or failure so to act.

         (e) Anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 4.04 is subject to
the provisions of Section 11.05.

         Section 4.05. SEC Reports; Financial Statements.

         (a) The Partnership shall, so long as any of the Debt Securities are
Outstanding, file with the Trustee, within 15 days after it files the same with
the SEC, copies of the annual reports and the information, documents and other
reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by
rules and regulations prescribe) that the Partnership is required to file with
the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. If the Partnership
is not subject to the requirements of such Section 13 or 15(d), the Partnership
shall file with the Trustee, within 15 days after it would have been required to
file the same with the SEC, financial statements, including any notes thereto
(and with respect to annual reports, an auditors' report by a firm of
established national reputation), and a "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations," both comparable to that which
the Partnership would have been required to include in such annual reports,
information, documents or other reports if the Partnership had been subject to
the requirements of such Section 13 or 15(d). The Partnership shall also comply
with the provisions of TIA Section 314(a).

         (b) If the Partnership is required to furnish annual or quarterly
reports to its capital stockholders pursuant to the Exchange Act, the
Partnership shall, so long as any of the Debt Securities are outstanding, cause
any annual report furnished to its capital stockholders generally and any
quarterly or other financial reports furnished by it to its capital stockholders
generally to be filed with the Trustee and mailed to the Holders in the manner
and to the extent provided in Section 5.03.


                                       27

<PAGE>

         (c) The Partnership shall provide the Trustee with a sufficient number
of copies of all reports and other documents and information that the Trustee
may be required to deliver to Holders under this Section.

         (d) The Partnership shall, so long as any of the Notes are Outstanding,
deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days of any Officer of the Partnership
becoming aware of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, an
Officers' Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what
action the Partnership is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

         Section 4.06. Compliance Certificate.

         (a) The Partnership shall, so long as any of the Debt Securities are
outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each
fiscal year of the Partnership, an Officers' Certificate stating that a review
of the activities of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries during the preceding
fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers of the
Partnership with a view to determining whether the Partnership has kept,
observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and
further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the
best of his knowledge the Partnership has kept, observed, performed and
fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in
default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and
conditions hereof, without regard to any grace period or requirement of notice
required by this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which such
Officer may have knowledge and what action the Partnership is taking or proposes
to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his knowledge no event has
occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the
principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Debt Securities
are prohibited or, if such event has occurred, a description of the event and
what action the Partnership is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

         (b) The Partnership shall, so long as any of the Debt Securities are
outstanding, deliver to the Trustee within 30 days after the occurrence of any
Default or Event of Default under this Indenture, an Officers' Certificate
specifying such Default or Event of Default, the status thereof and what action
the Partnership is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

         Section 4.07. Further Instruments and Acts.

         The Partnership will, upon request of the Trustee, execute and deliver
such further instruments and do such further acts as may reasonably be necessary
or proper to carry out more effectually the purposes of this Indenture.

         Section 4.08. Existence.

         Except as permitted by Article X hereof, the Partnership shall do or
cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and
effect its existence and all rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of
the Partnership, provided that the Partnership shall not be required to preserve
any such right or franchise, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the
preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of
the Partnership.

                                       28

<PAGE>

     Section 4.09. Maintenance of Properties.

     The Partnership shall cause all properties owned by the Partnership or any
of its Subsidiaries or used or held for use in the conduct of its business or
the business of any such Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition,
repair and working order (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and supplied with
all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs,
renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the
judgment of the Partnership may be necessary so that the business carried on in
connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times;
provided that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Partnership from
discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of such properties if such
discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Partnership, desirable in the conduct
of its business or the business of any such Subsidiary and not disadvantageous
in any material respect to the Holders.

     Section 4.10. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

     The Partnership shall pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged,
before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all taxes, assessments and
governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Partnership or any of its
Subsidiaries or upon the income, profits or property of the Partnership or any
of its Subsidiaries, and (ii) all lawful claims for labor, materials and
supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon the property of the
Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that the Partnership shall not
be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax,
assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

     Section 4.11. Waiver of Certain Covenants.

     The Partnership, the Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors may, with
respect to the Debt Securities of any series, omit in any particular instance to
comply with any covenant set forth in this Article IV (except Sections 4.01
through 4.08) or made applicable to such Debt Securities pursuant to Section
2.03, if, before or after the time for such compliance, the Holders of at least
a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series
affected, waive such compliance in such instance with such covenant, but no such
waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant except to the extent so expressly
waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the
Partnership, the Guarantor, and the Subsidiary Guarantors and the duties of the
Trustee in respect of any such covenant shall remain in full force and effect.

                    HOLDERS' LISTS AND REPORTS BY THE TRUSTEE

     Section 5.01. Partnership to Furnish Trustee Information as to Names and
Addresses of Holders; Preservation of Information.

     The Partnership covenants and agrees that it will furnish or cause to be
furnished to the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of each series:


                                       29

<PAGE>

     (a) not more than 10 days after each record date with respect to the
payment of interest, if any, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably
require, of the names and addresses of the Holders as of such record date, and

     (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30
days after the receipt by the Partnership of any such request, a list of similar
form and contents as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list
is furnished;

provided, however, that so long as the Trustee shall be the Registrar, such
lists shall not be required to be furnished.

     The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the Holders (i)
contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in this Section
5.01 or (ii) received by it in the capacity of paying agent or Registrar (if so
acting) hereunder.

     The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in this
Section 5.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

     Section 5.02. Communications to Holders.

     Holders may communicate pursuant to Section 312(b) of the TIA with other
Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Debt
Securities. The Partnership, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall
have the protection of Section 312(c) of the TIA.

     Section 5.03. Reports by Trustee.

     Within 60 days after each January 31, beginning with the first January 31
following the date of this Indenture, and in any event on or before April 1 in
each year, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a brief report dated as of such
January 31 that complies with TIA Section 313(a); provided, however, that if no
event described in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months
preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted. The Trustee also
shall comply with TIA Section 313(b).

     Reports pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall be transmitted by mail:

     (a) to all Holders, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear
in the Debt Security Register; and

     (b) except in the cases of reports under Section 313(b)(2) of the TIA,
to each Holder of a Debt Security of any series whose name and address appear in
the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section
5.01.

     A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and each stock exchange (if
any) on which the Debt Securities of any series are listed. The Partnership
agrees to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Debt Securities of any series
become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.

     Section 5.04. Record Dates for Action by Holders.

     If the Partnership shall solicit from the Holders of Debt Securities of any
series any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of
any direction, notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the
Partnership may, at its option, by resolution of the Board of Directors, fix in
advance a record date for the determination of Holders of Debt Securities
entitled to take such action, but the Partnership shall have no obligation to do
so. Any such record date shall be fixed at the Partnership's discretion. If such
a record date is fixed, such action may be sought or given before or after the
record date, but only the Holders of Debt Securities of record at the close of
business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders of Debt Securities
for the purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of
Debt Securities of such series Outstanding have authorized or agreed or
consented to such action, and for that purpose the Debt Securities of such
series Outstanding shall be computed as of such record date.

                                   ARTICLE VI

Securities, in this Indenture with respect to such series or in any supplemental
Indenture with respect to such series (other than a covenant a default in the
performance of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with),
continuing for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice
specifying such failure and requiring the Partnership, the Guarantor, or if

Guarantor, or if applicable, the Subsidiary Guarantors, and the Trustee by the

               (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Partnership or the Guarantor, or

Outstanding under this Indenture is entitled to the benefits of a Guarantee by
the Subsidiary Guarantors, any of the Subsidiary Guarantors ceases to be in full
force and effect with respect to Debt Securities of that series (except as
otherwise provided in this Indenture) or is declared null and void in a judicial

of that series; then and in each and every case that an Event of Default
described in clause (a), (b), (c), (d), (g), or (h) with respect to Debt
Securities of that series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing,
unless the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Debt
Securities of that series shall have already become due and payable, either the
Trustee or the Holders of not less



                                       32

<PAGE>

than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of that series
then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Partnership (and to the
Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the principal of (or, if the Debt
Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, such
portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that
series), premium, if any, and interest on all the Debt Securities of that series
to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall
become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or
in the Debt Securities of that series contained to the contrary notwithstanding.
If an Event of Default described in clause (e) or (f) occurs, then and in each
and every such case, unless the principal of and interest on all the Debt
Securities shall have become due and payable, the principal of (or, if any Debt
Securities are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, such portion of the
principal amount as may be specified in the terms thereof), premium, if any, and
interest on all the Debt Securities then Outstanding hereunder shall ipso facto
become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act
on the part of the Trustee or any Holders, anything in this Indenture or in the
Debt Securities contained to the contrary notwithstanding.

     The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities of a particular series by written notice to the Trustee may waive all
past Defaults (except with respect to the nonpayment of principal, premium, if
any, or interest) and rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the
rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction already rendered and if all existing Events of Default
have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest that has become due solely because of acceleration. Upon any such
rescission, the parties hereto shall be restored respectively to their several
positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the
parties hereto shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

     Section 6.02. Collection of Debt by Trustee, etc.

     If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to
institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of
the sums so due and unpaid or enforce the performance of any provision of the
Debt Securities of the affected series or this Indenture, and may prosecute any
such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such
judgment or final decree against the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Guarantor or the
Partnership or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of such series (and
collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Subsidiary
Guarantors, the Guarantor or the Partnership or any other obligor upon the Debt
Securities of such series wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be
payable).

     In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the
reorganization of the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Guarantor or the Partnership or
any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of any series under any Bankruptcy
Law, or in case a Custodian shall have been appointed for its property, or in
case of any other similar judicial proceedings relative to the Subsidiary
Guarantors, the Guarantor or the Partnership or any other obligor upon the Debt
Securities of any series, its creditors or its property, the Trustee,
irrespective of whether the principal of Debt Securities of any series shall
then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand

                                       33

<PAGE>

pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02, shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a
claim or claims for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest
(or, if the Debt Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Debt
Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the
terms of such series) owing and unpaid in respect of the Debt Securities of such
series, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for
reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and
for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances
made, by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith) and of
the Holders thereof allowed in any such judicial proceedings relative to the
Subsidiary Guarantors, the Guarantor or the Partnership, or any other obligor
upon the Debt Securities of such series, its creditors or its property, and to
collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims
of such Holders and of the Trustee on their behalf, and any receiver, assignee
or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of such
Holders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee
shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Holders, to pay to the
Trustee such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to
the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable
expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except
as a result of its negligence or bad faith.

     All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under
any of the Debt Securities of any series, may be enforced by the Trustee without
the possession of any such Debt Securities, or the production thereof in any
trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an
express trust, and any recovery of judgment (except for any amounts payable to
the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06) shall be for the ratable benefit of the
Holders of all the Debt Securities in respect of which such action was taken.

     In case of an Event of Default hereunder the Trustee may in its discretion
proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such
appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to
protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in
bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right
vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

     Section 6.03. Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee.

     Any moneys or other property collected by the Trustee pursuant to
Section 6.02 with respect to Debt Securities of any series shall be applied, in
theorder following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the
distribution of such moneys or other property, upon presentation of the several
Debt Securities of such series in respect of which moneys or other property have
been collected, and the notation thereon of the payment, if only partially paid,
and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

     FIRST: To the payment of all money due the Trustee pursuant to Section
7.06;

                                       34

<PAGE>


     SECOND: In case the principal of the Outstanding Debt Securities in respect
of which such moneys have been collected shall not have become due, to the
payment of interest on the Debt Securities of such series in the order of the
maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that
such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments
of interest at the rate or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue
Discount Debt Securities) borne by the Debt Securities of such series, such
payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto, without
discrimination or preference;

     THIRD: In case the principal of the Outstanding Debt Securities in respect
of which such moneys have been collected shall have become due, by declaration
or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the
Debt Securities of such series for principal and premium, if any, and interest,
with interest on the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent
that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments
of interest at the rate or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue
Discount Debt Securities) borne by the Debt Securities of such series; and, in
case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due
and unpaid upon the Debt Securities of such series, then to the payment of such
principal and premium, if any, and interest, without preference or priority of
principal and premium, if any, over interest, or of interest over principal and
premium, if any, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of
interest, or of any Debt Security of such series over any Debt Security of such
series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and premium, if any, and
interest; and

     FOURTH: The remainder, if any, shall be paid to the Subsidiary Guarantors,
the Guarantor or the Partnership, as applicable, its successors or assigns, or
to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct.

     The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Holders pursuant to this Section 6.03. At least 15 days before such record date,
the Partnership shall mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states
the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

     Section 6.04. Limitation on Suits by Holders.

     No Holder of any Debt Security of any series shall have any right by virtue
or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or
proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, upon or under or
with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee,
or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have
given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default with respect to Debt
Securities of that same series and of the continuance thereof and unless the
Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Debt Securities of that series shall have made written request upon the Trustee
to institute such action or proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in
its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such
reasonable indemnity or security as it may require against the costs, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days
after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity or security
shall have failed to institute any such action or proceedings and no direction
inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 6.06; it being understood and intended, and being expressly
covenanted by

                                       35

<PAGE>

the Holder of every Debt Security with every other Holder and the Trustee, that
no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or
by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of any Holders, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or
preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this
Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and
common benefit of all such Holders. For the protection and enforcement of the
provisions of this Section 6.04, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be
entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, however, the right
of any Holder of any Debt Security to receive payment of the principal of, and
premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.12) interest on, such Debt Security,
on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debt Security, and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such
Holder.

     Section 6.05. Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission in Exercise of Rights
Not a Waiver of Default.

     All powers and remedies given by this Article VI to the Trustee or to the
Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not
exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the
Trustee or the Holders, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the
performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this
Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise
any right or power accruing upon any Default occurring and continuing as
aforesaid, shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a
waiver of any such Default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article VI or
by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and
as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders.

     Section 6.06. Rights of Holders of Majority in Principal Amount of Debt
Securities to Direct Trustee and to Waive Default.

     The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities of any series at the time Outstanding shall have the right to direct
the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee, or exercising any right, trust or power conferred on
the Trustee, with respect to the Debt Securities of such series; provided,
however, that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law
and the provisions of this Indenture, and that subject to the provisions of
Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such
direction if the Trustee being advised by counsel shall determine that the
action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the Trustee shall by a
responsible officer or officers determine that the action so directed would
involve it in personal liability or would be unduly prejudicial to Holders of
Debt Securities of such series not taking part in such direction; and provided,
further, however, that nothing in this Indenture contained shall impair the
right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which
is not inconsistent with such direction by such Holders. Prior to the
acceleration of the maturity of the Debt Securities of any series, as provided
in Section 6.01, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Debt Securities of that series at the time Outstanding may on behalf of the
Holders of all

                                       36

<PAGE>

the Debt Securities of that series waive any past Default or Event of Default
and its consequences for that series, except a Default in the payment of the
principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Debt Securities
and a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be
amended without the consent of each Holder affected thereby. In case of any such
waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this
Indenture, and the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Guarantor, the Partnership, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Debt Securities of that series shall be restored
to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

     Section 6.07. Trustee to Give Notice of Defaults Known to It, but May
Withhold Such Notice in Certain Circumstances.

     The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a Default known
to it, or if later, within 30 days after the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of
the Default, with respect to a series of Debt Securities give to the Holders
thereof, in the manner provided in Section 13.03, notice of all Defaults with
respect to such series known to the Trustee, unless such Defaults shall have
been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; provided, that, except in
the case of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on, any of the Debt Securities of such series or in the making of any
sinking fund payment with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, the
Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the
board of directors, the executive committee or a committee of directors or
responsible officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding
of such notice is in the interests of the Holders thereof.

     Section 6.08. Requirement of an Undertaking to Pay Costs in Certain Suits
under the Indenture or Against the Trustee.

     All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Debt Security
by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in
its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy
under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit in the manner and to the extent
provided in the TIA, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable
costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, against any party
litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the
claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this
Section 6.08 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit
instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more
than 25 percent in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that
series or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the
payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Debt
Security on or after the due date for such payment expressed in such Debt
Security.

     Section 7.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

                                       37

<PAGE>

     The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes
to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in
this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been
cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in
their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of his own affairs.

     No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act,
its own bad faith or its own willful misconduct, except that:

     (a) this paragraph shall not be construed to limit the effect of the first
paragraph of this Section 7.01;

     (b) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Debt
Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default
with respect to such series which may have occurred:

          (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to Debt
     Securities of any series shall be determined solely by the express
     provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except
     for the performance of such duties and obligations with respect to such
     series as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied
     covenants or obligations with respect to such series shall be read into
     this Indenture against the Trustee;

          (ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the
     Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
     correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or
     opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
     this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which
     by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the
     Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine
     whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture; but the
     Trustee shall examine the evidence furnished to it pursuant to Sections
     4.05 and 4.06 to determine whether or not such evidence conforms to the
     requirement of this Indenture;

          (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in
     good faith by a responsible officer, unless it shall be proved that the
     Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

          (iv) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken
     or omitted to be taken by it with respect to Debt Securities of any series
     in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less
     than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt
     Securities of that series relating to the time, method and place of
     conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
     exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this
     Indenture with respect to Debt Securities of such series.

                                       38

<PAGE>

     None of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any personal financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it.

     Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

     Section 7.02. Certain Rights of Trustee.

     Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01:

     (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining
from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note or
other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by

resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy
thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the General
Partner;

     (c) the Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice of such counsel or
any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection
in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good
faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

     (d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights
or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of
any of the Holders of Debt Securities of any series pursuant to the provisions
of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
which may be incurred therein or thereby;

     (e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it
in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the
discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

     (f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of
all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to
make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
consent, order, approval or other paper or document, unless requested in writing
to do so by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
Outstanding Debt Securities of a series affected by such matter; provided,
however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the
costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be

                                       39

<PAGE>

incurred by it in the making of such investigation is not, in the opinion of the
Trustee, reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the
terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against
such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding, and the
reasonable expense of every such investigation shall be paid by the Partnership
or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Partnership upon demand;

     (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or

to make advances for the purpose of preserving such property or of discharging
tax Liens or other prior Liens or encumbrances thereon.

     Section 7.03. Trustee Not Liable for Recitals in Indenture or in Debt
Securities.

     The recitals contained herein, in the Debt Securities (except the Trustee's
certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the
Partnership, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of
the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency
of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities of any series, except that the
Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this
Indenture, authenticate the Debt Securities and perform its obligations
hereunder, and that the statements made by it or to be made by it in a Statement
of Eligibility and Qualification on Form T-1 supplied to the Partnership are
true and accurate. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Partnership of any of the Debt Securities or of the proceeds
thereof.

     Section 7.04. Trustee, Paying Agent or Registrar May Own Debt Securities.

     The Trustee or any paying agent or Registrar, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities and subject
to the provisions of the TIA relating to conflicts of interest and preferential
claims may otherwise deal with the Partnership with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Registrar.

     Section 7.05. Moneys Received by Trustee to Be Held in Trust.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 11.05, all moneys received by the
Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for
the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no
liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder. So long as no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest allowed on
any such moneys shall be paid from time to time to the Partnership upon a
Partnership Order.

     Section 7.06. Compensation and Reimbursement.

                                       40

<PAGE>

     The Partnership covenants and agrees to pay in Dollars to the Trustee from
time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for
all services rendered by it hereunder (which shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust), and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Partnership will
pay or reimburse in Dollars the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in
accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents,
attorneys and counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ), including
without limitation, Section 6.02, except any such expense, disbursement or
advances as may arise from its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The
Partnership also covenants to indemnify in Dollars the Trustee for, and to hold
it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence,
willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or trusts
hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself
against any claim of liability in connection with the exercise or performance of
any of its powers or duties hereunder. The obligations of the Partnership under
this Section 7.06 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or
reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute
additional Debt hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture. The Partnership and the Holders agree that such additional Debt
shall be secured by a Lien prior to that of the Debt Securities upon all
property and funds held or collected by the Trustee, as such, except funds held
in trust for the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on,
particular Debt Securities.

     When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or (f) occurs, the expenses and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar
law.

     Section 7.07. Right of Trustee to Rely on an Officers' Certificate Where No
Other Evidence Specifically Prescribed.

     Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the
administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it
necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or
suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence
in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of
negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively
proved and established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee and
such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

     Section 7.08. Separate Trustee; Replacement of Trustee.

     The Partnership may, but need not, appoint a separate Trustee for any one
or more series of Debt Securities. The Trustee may resign with respect to one or
more or all series of Debt Securities at any time by giving notice to the
Partnership. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt
Securities of a particular series may remove the Trustee for such series and

                                       41

<PAGE>

only such series by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor
Trustee. The Partnership shall remove the Trustee if:

     (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

     (b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

     (c) a Custodian takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

     (d) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Partnership or by the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of a particular series and
such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a
vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such
event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Partnership shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee. No resignation or removal of the Trustee
and no appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the
applicable requirements of this Section 7.08.

     A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment
to the retiring Trustee and to the Partnership. Thereupon the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor
Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this
Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Holders of Debt Securities of each applicable series. The retiring Trustee shall
promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee,
subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.06.

     If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee gives notice of resignation or is removed, the retiring Trustee
or the Holders of 25% in principal amount of the Debt Securities of any
applicable series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series.

     If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of Debt
Securities of any applicable series may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series.

     Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section
7.08, the Partnership's obligations under Section 7.06 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee.

     In the case of the appointment hereunder of a separate or successor trustee
with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series, the Partnership, any
retiring Trustee and each successor or separate Trustee with respect to the Debt
Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an Indenture
supplemental hereto (i) which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed
necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of any retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series as to
which any such retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in
such retiring Trustee and (ii) that shall add to or change any of the provisions
of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, it being
understood that

                                       42

<PAGE>

nothing herein or in such supplemental Indenture shall constitute such Trustees
co-trustees of the same trust and that each such separate, retiring or successor
Trustee shall be Trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from
any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee.

     Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger.

     If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all
or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another
corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee
corporation or banking association without any further act shall be the
successor Trustee.

     In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or
consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this
Indenture any of the Debt Securities shall have been authenticated but not
delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Debt Securities so
authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Debt Securities shall not
have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Debt
Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the
successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the
full force which it is anywhere in the Debt Securities or in this Indenture
provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

     Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

     The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a)
of the TIA. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of
condition. No obligor upon the Debt Securities of a particular series or Person
directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with
such obligor shall serve as Trustee upon the Debt Securities of such series. The
Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the TIA; provided, however, that
there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA this
Indenture or any indenture or indentures under which other securities or
certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Partnership
are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section
310(b)(1) of the TIA are met.

     Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Partnership.

     The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the TIA, excluding any
creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the TIA. A Trustee who has
resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the TIA to the
extent indicated therein.

     Section 7.12. Compliance with Tax Laws.

     The Trustee hereby agrees to comply with all U.S. Federal income tax
information reporting and withholding requirements applicable to it with respect
to payments of premium (if any) and interest on the Debt Securities, whether
acting as Trustee, Registrar, paying agent or otherwise with respect to the Debt
Securities.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                             CONCERNING THE HOLDERS

     Section 8.01. Evidence of Action by Holders.

     Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any or all
series may take action (including the making of any demand or request, the
giving of any direction, notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other
action) the fact that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such
specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or
any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in Person or by
agent or proxy appointed in writing, by the record of the Holders voting in
favor thereof at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with
the provisions of Section 5.02 or by a combination of such instrument or
instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Holders.

     Section 8.02. Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Debt
Securities.

     Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 13.09, proof of the
execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy shall be
sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as
may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to
the Trustee. The ownership of Debt Securities of any series shall be proved by
the Debt Security Register or by a certificate of the Registrar for such series.
The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this
Section 8.02 as it shall deem necessary.

     Section 8.03. Who May Be Deemed Owner of Debt Securities.

     Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Debt Security,
the Partnership, the Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee, any
paying agent and any Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name any
Debt Security shall be registered upon the books of the Partnership as the
absolute owner of such Debt Security (whether or not such Debt Security shall be
overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon)
for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and
premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.12) interest on such Debt Security
and for all other purposes, and none of the Partnership, the Guarantor or the
Subsidiary Guarantors nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Registrar
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; and all such payments so made
to any such Holder for the time being, or upon his order, shall be valid and, to
the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the
liability for moneys payable upon any such Debt Security.

     None of the Partnership, the Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the
Trustee, any agent of the Trustee, any paying agent or any Registrar will have
any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or
payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security
or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such
beneficial ownership interests.

     Section 8.04. Instruments Executed by Holders Bind Future Holders.

                                       44

<PAGE>

     At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as
provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series
specified in this Indenture in connection with such action and subject to the
following paragraph, any Holder of a Debt Security which is shown by the
evidence to be included in the Debt Securities the Holders of which have
consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its
corporate trust office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02,
revoke such action so far as concerns such Debt Security. Except as aforesaid
any such action taken by the Holder of any Debt Security shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Debt
Security and of any Debt Security issued upon transfer thereof or in exchange or
substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard
thereto is made upon such Debt Security or such other Debt Securities. Any
action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of
the Debt Securities of any series specified in this Indenture in connection with
such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Partnership, the Guarantor,
the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Debt
Securities of such series.

     The Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for
the purpose of determining the Holders of Debt Securities entitled to give their
consent or take any other action required or permitted to be taken pursuant to
this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately
preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders of Debt Securities at such
record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be
entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to
take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders of Debt
Securities after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective
for more than 120 days after such record date unless the consent of the Holders
of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of such
series specified in this Indenture shall have been received within such 120-day
period.

                             SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

     Section 9.01. Purposes for Which Supplemental Indenture May Be Entered into
Without Consent of Holders.

     The Partnership, the Guarantor, and the Subsidiary Guarantors, when
authorized by resolutions of the Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from
time to time and at any time, without the consent of Holders, enter into an
Indenture or Indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the
provisions of the TIA as in force at the date of the execution thereof) for one
or more of the following purposes:

     (a) to evidence the succession pursuant to Article X of another Person to
the Partnership, or successive successions, and the assumption by the Successor
Partnership (as defined in Section 10.01) of the covenants, agreements and
obligations of the Partnership in this Indenture and in the Debt Securities;

     (b) to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Partnership,
the Guarantor or the Subsidiary Guarantors, to add to the covenants of the
Partnership, the Guarantor

                                       45

<PAGE>

or the Subsidiary Guarantors such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or
provisions for the protection of the Holders of all or any series of Debt
Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all
series of Debt Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being
included solely for the benefit of such series) as the Board of Directors shall
consider to be for the protection of the Holders of such Debt Securities, and to
make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a Default in any of
such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions a Default or
an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several
remedies provided in this Indenture; provided, that in respect of any such
additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision such supplemental
Indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after Default (which
period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other Defaults)
or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such Default or may limit the
remedies available to the Trustee upon such Default or may limit the right of
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of any or all series of
Debt Securities to waive such default;

     (c) to cure any ambiguity or omission or to correct or supplement any
provision contained herein, in any supplemental Indenture or in any Debt
Securities of any series that may be defective or inconsistent with any other
provision contained herein, in any supplemental Indenture or in the Debt
Securities of such series; to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any
property to or with the Trustee, or to make such other provisions in regard to
matters or questions arising under this Indenture as shall not adversely affect
the interests of any Holders of Debt Securities of any series;

     (d) to modify or amend this Indenture in such a manner as to permit the
qualification of this Indenture or any Indenture supplemental hereto under the
TIA as then in effect, except that nothing herein contained shall permit or
authorize the inclusion in any Indenture supplemental hereto of the provisions
referred to in Section 316(a)(2) of the TIA;

     (e) to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to change
or eliminate any restrictions on the payment of principal of, or premium, if
any, on, Debt Securities; provided, that any such action shall not adversely
affect the interests of the Holders of Debt Securities of any series in any
material respect or permit or facilitate the issuance of Debt Securities of any
series in uncertificated form;

     (f) to comply with Article XIV;

     (g) to add Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to any or all of the Debt
Securities or to secure any or all of the Debt Securities;

     (h) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any
Holder;

     (i) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture
in respect of one or more series of Debt Securities; provided, however, that any
such addition, change or elimination not otherwise permitted under this Section
9.01 shall neither apply to any Debt Security of any series created prior to the
execution of such supplemental Indenture and entitled to the benefit of such
provision nor modify the rights of the Holder of any such Debt Security

                                       46

<PAGE>

with respect to such provision or shall become effective only when there is no
such Debt Security Outstanding;

     (j) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by
a successor or separate Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or
more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as
shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts
hereunder by more than one Trustee; and

     (k) to establish the form or terms of Debt Securities of any series as
permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03.

     The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Partnership, the
Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of any such
supplemental Indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and
stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance,
transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the
Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental Indenture
which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise.

     Any supplemental Indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section
9.01 may be executed by the Partnership, the Guarantor, the Subsidiary
Guarantors and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Debt
Securities at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of
Section 9.02.

     Section 9.02. Modification of Indenture with Consent of Holders of Debt
Securities.

     Without notice to any Holder but with the consent (evidenced as provided in
Section 8.01) of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected by such
supplemental Indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender
offer or exchange offer for any such series of Debt Securities), the
Partnership, the Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors, when authorized by
resolutions of the Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and
at any time enter into an Indenture or Indentures supplemental hereto (which
shall conform to the provisions of the TIA as in force at the date of execution
thereof) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner
or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental
Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Debt
Securities of such series; provided, that no such supplemental Indenture,
without the consent of the Holders of each Debt Security so affected, shall:
reduce the percentage in principal amount of Debt Securities of any series whose
Holders must consent to an amendment; reduce the rate of or extend the time for
payment of interest on any Debt Security; reduce the principal of or extend the
Stated Maturity of any Debt Security; reduce the premium payable upon the
redemption of any Debt Security or change the time at which any Debt Security
may or shall be redeemed in accordance with Article III; make any Debt Security
payable in currency other than the Dollar; impair the right of any Holder to
receive payment of premium, if any, principal of and interest on such Holder's
Debt Securities on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the
enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder's Debt Securities;
release any security that may have been granted in respect of the Debt
Securities; make any change in Section 6.06 or this

                                       47

<PAGE>

Section 9.02; or, except as provided in Section 14.04, release the Guarantor or
any Subsidiary Guarantors or modify the Guarantee in any manner adverse to the
Holders.

     A supplemental Indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other
provision of this Indenture which has been expressly included solely for the
benefit of one or more particular series of Debt Securities or which modifies
the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series with respect to such
covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this
Indenture of the Holders of Debt Securities of any other series.

     Upon the request of the Partnership, the Guarantor, and the Subsidiary
Guarantors, accompanied by a copy of resolutions of the Board of Directors
authorizing the execution of any such supplemental Indenture, and upon the
filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Holders as aforesaid, the
Trustee shall join with the Partnership in the execution of such supplemental
Indenture unless such supplemental Indenture affects the Trustee's own rights,
duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the
Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter into such
supplemental Indenture.

     It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section
9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental Indenture, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

     After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the
Partnership shall mail to Holders of Debt Securities of each series affected
thereby a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such
notice to all such Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect
the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.02.

     Section 9.03. Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

     Upon the execution of any supplemental Indenture pursuant to the provisions
of this Article IX, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and
amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of
rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee,
the Partnership, the Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Holders shall
thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all
respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions
of any such supplemental Indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the
terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

     The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, may
receive an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive
evidence that any such supplemental Indenture complies with the provisions of
this Article IX.

     Section 9.04. Debt Securities May Bear Notation of Changes by Supplemental
Indentures.

     Debt Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the
execution of any supplemental Indenture pursuant to the provisions of this
Article IX may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form
approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental
Indenture. New Debt Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in

the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any modification of
this Indenture contained in any such supplemental Indenture may be prepared and
executed by the Partnership, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in
exchange for the Debt Securities of such series then Outstanding. Failure to
make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Debt Security of such series
shall not affect the validity of such amendment.

                    CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE

     Section 10.01. Consolidations and Mergers of the Partnership.

     The Partnership shall not consolidate or amalgamate with or merge with or
into any Person, or sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all its assets to any Person, whether in a single transaction or a
series of related transactions, except (1) in accordance with the provisions of
its limited liability company agreement, and (2) unless: (a) either (i) the
Partnership shall be the continuing Person in the case of a merger or (ii) the
resulting, surviving or transferee Person if other than the Partnership (the
"Successor Partnership"), shall be a partnership, limited liability company or
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any
State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor Partnership shall
expressly assume, by an Indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to
the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the
Partnership under this Indenture and the Debt Securities according to their
tenor; (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any
Debt which becomes an obligation of the Successor Partnership or any Subsidiary
of the Successor Partnership as a result of such transaction as having been
incurred by the Successor Partnership or such Subsidiary at the time of such
transaction), no Default or Event of Default would occur or be continuing; (c)
if the Partnership is not the continuing Person, then the Guarantor and any
Subsidiary Guarantor, unless it has become the Successor Partnership, shall
confirm that its respective Guarantee shall continue to apply to the obligations
under the Debt Securities and this Indenture; and (d) the Partnership shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,
each stating that such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or disposition and
such supplemental Indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture.

     Section 10.02. Rights and Duties of Successor Partnership.

     In case of any consolidation, amalgamation or merger where the Partnership
is not the continuing Person, or disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Partnership in accordance with Section 10.01, the Successor
Partnership shall succeed to and be substituted for the Partnership with the
same effect as if it had been named herein as the respective party to this
Indenture, and the predecessor entity shall be released from all liabilities and
obligations under this Indenture and the Debt Securities, except that no such
release will occur in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of its
assets. The Successor Partnership thereupon may cause to be signed, and may
issue either in its own name or in the name of the Partnership, any or all the
Debt Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed
by the Partnership and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of the
Successor Partnership, instead of the Partnership, and subject to all the terms,
conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall
authenticate and shall deliver any Debt Securities which

                                       49

<PAGE>

previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the
Partnership on behalf of the Partnership to the Trustee for authentication, and
any Debt Securities which the Successor Partnership thereafter shall cause to be
signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Debt Securities so
issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this
Indenture as the Debt Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture as though all such Debt Securities had been
issued at the date of the execution hereof.

     In case of any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or
disposition such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be
made in the Debt Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

                          SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF
                     INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE; UNCLAIMED MONEYS

     Section 11.01. Applicability of Article.

     The provisions of this Article XI relating to defeasance of Debt Securities
shall be applicable to each series of Debt Securities except as otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for Debt Securities of such series.

     Section 11.02. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance.

     (a) If at any time the Partnership shall have delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation all Debt Securities of any series theretofore authenticated and
delivered (other than any Debt Securities of such series which shall have been
destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided
in Section 2.09 and Debt Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been
deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Partnership as provided in
Section 11.05) or all Debt Securities of such series not theretofore delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable, or are by
their terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for
redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for
the giving of notice of redemption, and the Partnership shall deposit with the
Trustee as trust funds the entire amount in cash sufficient to pay at maturity
or upon redemption all Debt Securities of such series not theretofore delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and premium, if any, and
interest due or to become due on such date of Stated Maturity or redemption
date, as the case may be, and if in either case the Partnership shall also pay
or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Partnership, then
this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving
rights of registration of transfer or exchange of such Debt Securities herein
expressly provided for) with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, and
the Trustee, on demand of the Partnership accompanied by an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the
Partnership, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and
discharging this Indenture.

     (b) Subject to Sections 11.02(c), 11.03 and 11.07, the Partnership at any
time may terminate, with respect to Debt Securities of a particular series, all
its obligations under the Debt

                                       50

<PAGE>

Securities of such series and this Indenture with respect to the Debt Securities
of such series ("legal defeasance option") or the operation of (x) any covenant
made applicable to such Debt Securities pursuant to Section 2.03, (y) Sections
6.01(d), (g) and (h) and (z), as they relate to the Guarantor and the Subsidiary
Guarantors only, Sections 6.01(e) and (f) ("covenant defeasance option"). If the
Partnership exercises its legal defeasance option, the Guarantee will terminate
with respect to that series of Debt Securities. The Partnership may exercise its
legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant
defeasance option.

     If the Partnership exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the
Debt Securities of the defeased series may not be accelerated because of an
Event of Default. If the Partnership exercises its covenant defeasance option,
payment of the Debt Securities of the defeased series may not be accelerated
because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(d), (g) and (h) and,
with respect to the Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors only, Sections
6.01(e) and (f) (except to the extent covenants or agreements referenced in such
Sections remain applicable).

     Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of
the Partnership, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those
obligations that the Partnership terminates.

     (c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Partnership's
obligations in Sections 2.07, 2.09, 4.02, 4.04, 5.01, 7.06, 11.05, 11.06 and
11.07 shall survive until the Debt Securities of the defeased series have been
paid in full. Thereafter, the Partnership's obligations in Sections 7.06, 11.05
and 11.06 shall survive.

     Section 11.03. Conditions of Defeasance.

     The Partnership may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant
defeasance option with respect to Debt Securities of a particular series only
if:

     (a) the Partnership irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money or
U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of, and premium, if
any, and interest on, the Debt Securities of such series to Stated Maturity or
redemption, as the case may be;

     (b) the Partnership delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally
recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the
payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the
deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without
investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be
sufficient to pay the principal, premium and interest when due on all the Debt
Securities of such series to Stated Maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

     (c) 91 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 91-day period no
Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or (f) with respect to the Partnership
occurs which is continuing at the end of the period;

     (d) no Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit
and after giving effect thereto;

                                       51

<PAGE>

     (e) the deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement
binding on the Partnership;

     (f) the Partnership delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is
qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of
1940;

     (g) in the event of the legal defeasance option, the Partnership shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that the Partnership has
received from the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or since the date of this
Indenture there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in
either case of the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall
confirm that, the Holders of Debt Securities of such series will not recognize
income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such
defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the
same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance
had not occurred;

     (h) in the event of the covenant defeasance option, the Partnership shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
Holders of Debt Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or
loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and
will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner
and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance
had not occurred; and

     (i) the Partnership delivers to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance
and discharge of the Debt Securities of such series as contemplated by this
Article XI have been complied with.

     Before or after a deposit, the Partnership may make arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Debt Securities of such series
at a future date in accordance with Article III.

     Section 11.04. Application of Trust Money.

     The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations
deposited with it pursuant to this Article XI. It shall apply the deposited
money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through any paying agent
and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of, and
premium, if any, and interest on, the Debt Securities of the defeased series.

     Section 11.05. Repayment to Partnership.

     The Trustee and any paying agent shall promptly turn over to the
Partnership upon request any excess money or securities held by them at any
time.

     Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and any
paying agent shall pay to the Partnership upon request any money held by them
for the payment of principal, premium or interest that remains unclaimed for two
years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to such money must look to the
Partnership for payment as general creditors.

                                       52

     Section 11.06. Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations.

The Partnership shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee and the Holders
against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited
U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S.
Government Obligations.

     Section 11.07. Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or any paying agent is unable to apply any money or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with this Article XI by reason of any legal
proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or government
authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Partnership's obligations under this Indenture and the Debt Securities of the
defeased series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to this Article XI until such time as the Trustee or any
paying agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations
in accordance with this Article XI.

                                  ARTICLE XII

     Section 14.01. Unconditional Guarantee.

     (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Article XIV to the contrary, the
provisions of this Article XIV relating to the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be
applicable only to, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Debt Securities of
any series designated, pursuant to Section 2.03, as entitled to the benefits of
the Guarantee of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

     (b) For value received, the Guarantor and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors
hereby fully, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees (the "Guarantee") to the
Holders and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and
premium, if any, and interest on

                                       56

<PAGE>

the Debt Securities and all other amounts due and payable under this Indenture
and the Debt Securities by the Partnership, when and as such principal, premium,
if any, and interest shall become due and payable, whether at the stated
maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise,
according to the terms of the Debt Securities and this Indenture, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 14.03.

     (c) Failing payment when due of any amount guaranteed pursuant to the
Guarantee, for whatever reason, the Guarantor and each of the Subsidiary
Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately.
The Guarantee hereunder is intended to be a general, unsecured, senior
obligation of the Guarantor and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors and will rank
pari passu in right of payment with all Debt of the Guarantor and such
Subsidiary Guarantor that is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right
of payment to the Guarantee. The Guarantor and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors
hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be full, unconditional and
absolute, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Debt
Securities, the Guarantee (including the Guarantee of the Guarantor and any
Subsidiary Guarantor) or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce
the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Debt Securities with
respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment
against the Partnership, the Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any
action to enforce the same or any other circumstances which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantor or the
Subsidiary Guarantors. The Guarantor and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors
hereby agrees that in the event of a default in payment of the principal of, or
premium, if any, or interest on the Debt Securities, whether at the Stated
Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise,
legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or,
subject to Section 6.04, by the Holders, on the terms and conditions set forth
in this Indenture, directly against the Guarantor and such Subsidiary Guarantor
to enforce the Guarantee without first proceeding against the Partnership or any
other Subsidiary Guarantor.

     (d) The obligations of the Guarantor and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors
under this Article XIV shall be as aforesaid full, unconditional and absolute
and shall not be impaired, modified, released or limited by any occurrence or
condition whatsoever, including, without limitation, (A) any compromise,
settlement, release, waiver, renewal, extension, indulgence or modification of,
or any change in, any of the obligations and liabilities of the Partnership, the
Guarantor or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors contained in the Debt Securities
or this Indenture, (B) any impairment, modification, release or limitation of
the liability of the Partnership, the Guarantor, any of the Subsidiary
Guarantors or any of their estates in bankruptcy, or any remedy for the
enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future
provision of any applicable Bankruptcy Law, as amended, or other statute or from
the decision of any court, (C) the assertion or exercise by the Partnership, the
Guarantor, any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Trustee of any rights or
remedies under the Debt Securities or this Indenture or their delay in or
failure to assert or exercise any such rights or remedies, (D) the assignment or
the purported assignment of any property as security for the Debt Securities,
including all or any part of the rights of the Partnership, the Guarantor or any
of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Indenture, (E) the extension of the time
for payment by the Partnership, the Guarantor or any of the Subsidiary
Guarantors of any payments or other sums or any part thereof owing or payable
under any of the terms and provisions of the Debt Securities or this Indenture
or of the time for performance by the Partnership, the Guarantor or any of the
Subsidiary Guarantors of any other

                                       57

<PAGE>

obligations under or arising out of any such terms and provisions or the
extension or the renewal of any thereof, (F) the modification or amendment
(whether material or otherwise) of any duty, agreement or obligation of the
Partnership, the Guarantor or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors set forth in this
Indenture, (G) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, marshaling of
assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the
benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment
of, or other similar proceeding affecting, the Partnership, the Guarantor or any
of the Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their respective assets, or the
disaffirmance of the Debt Securities, the Guarantee or this Indenture in any
such proceeding, (H) the release or discharge of the Partnership, the Guarantor
or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors from the performance or observance of any
agreement, covenant, term or condition contained in any of such instruments by
operation of law, (I) the unenforceability of the Debt Securities, the Guarantee
or this Indenture or (J) any other circumstances (other than payment in full or
discharge of all amounts guaranteed pursuant to the Guarantee) which might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor.

     (e) The Guarantor and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby (A) waives
diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the
event of the merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Partnership, the Guarantor
or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, and all demands whatsoever, (B)
acknowledges that any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantee
may be transferred and that the benefit of its obligations hereunder shall
extend to each holder of any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the
Guarantee without notice to it and (C) covenants that the Guarantee will not be
discharged except by complete performance of the Guarantee. The Guarantor and
each of the Subsidiary Guarantors further agrees that if at any time all or any
part of any payment theretofore applied by any Person to the Guarantee is, or
must be, rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever, including without
limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Partnership, the
Guarantor or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Guarantee shall, to the
extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have
continued in existence notwithstanding such application, and the Guarantee shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such
application had not been made.

     (f) The Guarantor and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be subrogated
to all rights of the Holders and the Trustee against the Partnership in respect
of any amounts paid by the Guarantor or such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to
the provisions of this Indenture, provided, however, that the Guarantor or such
Subsidiary Guarantor, shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any
payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all of
the Debt Securities and the Guarantee shall have been paid in full or
discharged.

     Section 14.02. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.

To further evidence the Guarantee set forth in Section 14.01, the Guarantor
and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that a notation relating to
such Guarantee, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A, shall be
endorsed on each Debt Security entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and executed by either manual or
facsimile signature of an officer of the General Partner in the case of the
Guarantor and officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor. The Guarantor and each of
the Subsidiary Guarantors

                                       58

hereby agrees that the Guarantee set forth in Section 14.01 shall remain in full
force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Debt Security a
notation relating to the Guarantee. If any officer of any Subsidiary Guarantor,
or in the case of the Guarantor, any officer of the General Partner, whose
signature is on this Indenture or a Debt Security no longer holds that office at
the time the Trustee authenticates such Debt Security or at any time thereafter,
the Guarantee of such Debt Security shall be valid nevertheless. The delivery of
any Debt Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder,
shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on
behalf of the Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors.

     The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts in this Indenture upon the terms and
conditions herein set forth.

     Section 14.03. Limitation on Liability of the Guarantor and the Subsidiary
Guarantors.

     The Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder of a Debt Security
entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee hereby confirm that it is the
intention of all such parties that the guarantee by the Guarantor pursuant to
its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of
any Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders of
a Debt Security entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee and the Guarantor and
the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of the
Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will,
after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the
Guarantor and to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any
Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor
under its Guarantee, result in the obligations of the Guarantor under the
Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under
Federal or state law.

     Each Subsidiary Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder of a
Debt Security entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee hereby confirm that it
is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by such Subsidiary
Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance for purposes of any Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing
intention, the Holders of a Debt Security entitled to the benefits of the
Guarantee and the Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably
agree that the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee
shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other
contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and to any
collections from or payments made by or on behalf of the Guarantor or any other
Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of the Guarantor or such
other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee, result in the obligations of
such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer under Federal or state law.

     Section 14.04. Release of Guarantor or Subsidiary Guarantors from
Guarantee.

     (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Guarantee
of the Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor may be released upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 14.04. Provided that no
Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under this Indenture, any
Guarantee incurred by the Guarantor or a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this
Article XIV shall be unconditionally released and discharged (i) in the

                                       59

<PAGE>

case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, automatically upon (A) any sale, exchange or
transfer, whether by way of merger or otherwise, to any Person that is not an
Affiliate of the Partnership, of all of the Partnership's direct or indirect
equity interests in such Subsidiary Guarantor (provided such sale, exchange or
transfer is not prohibited by this Indenture) or (B) the merger of such
Subsidiary Guarantor into the Partnership, the Guarantor or any other Subsidiary
Guarantor or the liquidation and dissolution of such Subsidiary Guarantor (in
each case to the extent not prohibited by this Indenture) or (ii) in the case of
the Guarantor, automatically upon the merger of the Guarantor into the
Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor or the liquidation or dissolution of the
Guarantor (in each case to the extent not prohibited by this Indenture) or (iii)
in the case of the Guarantor or a Subsidiary Guarantor, following delivery of a
written notice of such release or discharge by the Partnership, the Trustee,
upon the release or discharge of all guarantees by the Guarantor or such
Subsidiary Guarantor of any Debt of the Partnership other than obligations
arising under this Indenture and any Debt Securities issued hereunder, except a
discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantees.

     (b) The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any
release of the Guarantor or a Subsidiary Guarantor from the Guarantee upon
receipt of a written request of the Partnership accompanied by an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that the Guarantor or the Subsidiary
Guarantor, as the case may be, is entitled to such release in accordance with
the provisions of this Indenture. The Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor not
so released remains liable for the full amount of principal of (and premium, if
any, on) and interest on the Debt Securities entitled to the benefits of such
Guarantee as provided in this Indenture, subject to the limitations of Section
14.03.

     Section 14.05. Contribution.

     In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the
Subsidiary Guarantors and the Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the
Guarantor hereby agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution
is made by the Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor (a "Funding Guarantor")
under its Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution
from the Guarantor and each other Subsidiary Guarantor (as applicable) in a pro
rata amount based on the net assets of the Guarantor and each Subsidiary
Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and
expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Partnership's
obligations with respect to the Debt Securities or any other Subsidiary
Guarantor's or the Guarantor's obligations with respect to its Guarantee.
