shall

     

    (i)           in
the case of debt securities, lend to the Partnership the proceeds of or
consideration received for such Securities on the same terms and conditions,

    (A)           the
number of shares of Common Stock or other equity Securities issued by the

              Issuance of Additional
      Partnership Interests; Admission of Additional Limited
      Partners

            


    

     

    (a)           In
addition to any Partnership Interests issuable by the Partnership pursuant to
Section 4.2, the General Partner is authorized to cause the Partnership to issue
additional Partnership Interests (or options therefore) in the form of
Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests in one or more series or
classes, or in one or more series of any such class senior, on a parity with, or
junior to the Partnership Units to any Persons at any time or from time to time,
on such terms and conditions, as the General Partner shall establish in each
case in its sole and absolute discretion subject to Delaware law, including,
without limitation, (i) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain,
loss, deduction and credit to each class or series of Partnership Interests,
(ii) the right of each class or series of Partnership Interests to share in
Partnership distributions, and (iii) the rights of each class or series of
Partnership Interest upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; provided, that, no such
Partnership Interests shall be issued to the General Partner unless either (a)
the Partnership Interests are issued in connection with the grant, award, or
issuance of Common Stock or other equity interests in the General Partner having
designations, preferences and other rights such that the economic interests
attributable to such Common Stock or other equity interests are substantially
similar to the designations, preferences and other rights (except voting rights)
of the Partnership Interests issued to the General Partner in accordance with
this Section 4.3(a) or (b) the additional Partnership Interests are issued to
all Partners holding Partnership Interests in the same class in proportion to
their respective Percentage Interests in such class, without any approval being
required from any Limited Partner or any other Person; and provided, however,
that

     

    (i)           such
issuance does not cause the Partnership to become, with respect to any employee
benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, a “party
in interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person”
(as defined in Section 4975(e) of the Code); and

     

    (ii)           such
issuance would not cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to
constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Section 2510.3-101 of
the regulations of the United States Department of Labor.

    (b)           Subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 4.3(a), the General Partner may take
such steps as it, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems necessary or
appropriate to admit any Person as a Limited Partner of the Partnership or to
issue any Partnership Interests, including, without limitation, amending the
Certificate, Exhibit A or any other provision of this Agreement.

    In
connection with any offering, grant, award, or issuance of Common Stock or
securities, rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities
pursuant to Section 4.2, the General Partner shall make aggregate Capital
Contributions to the Partnership of the proceeds raised in connection with such
offering, grant, award, or issuance, including any property issued to the
General Partner pursuant to a merger or contribution agreement in exchange for
Common Stock; provided, however, that if the proceeds actually received by the
General Partner are less than the gross proceeds of such offering, grant, award,
or issuance as a result of any underwriter’s discount, commission, or fee or
other expenses paid or incurred in connection with such offering, grant, award,
or issuance, then the General Partner shall make a Capital Contribution to the
Partnership in the amount equal to the sum of (i) the net proceeds of such
issuance plus (ii) an intangible asset in an amount equal to the capitalized
costs of the General Partner relating to such issuance of Common
Stock.  Upon any such Capital Contribution by the General Partner, the
Capital Account of the General Partner shall be increased by the amount of its
Capital Contribution as described in the previous sentence.

    (a)           If
the General Partner shall elect to purchase from its stockholders Common Stock
for the purpose of delivering such Common Stock to satisfy an obligation under
any distribution reinvestment plan adopted by the General Partner, any employee
stock purchase plan adopted by the General Partner, or for any other purpose,
the purchase price paid by the General Partner for such Common Stock and any
other expenses incurred by the General Partner in connection with such purchase
shall be considered expenses of the Partnership and shall be reimbursed to the
General Partner, subject to the condition that:

     

    (i)           if
such Common Stock subsequently is to be sold by the General Partner, the General
Partner shall pay to the Partnership any proceeds received by the General
Partner from the sale of such Common Stock (provided that an exchange of Common
Stock for Partnership Units pursuant to the applicable Exchange Rights Agreement
would not be considered a sale for such purposes); and

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        23

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (ii)           if
such Common Stock is not re-transferred by the General Partner within 30 days
after the purchase thereof, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to
cancel a number of Partnership Units held by the General Partner (as applicable)
equal to the product of

     

    (x)           the
number of shares of such Common Stock, multiplied by

     

    (y)           a
fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the
Exchange Factor in effect on the date of such cancellation.

     

    (b)           If
the General Partner purchases Shares-in-Trust (as from time to time defined in
the Articles of Incorporation, as may be amended from time to time), the
Partnership will purchase from the General Partner a number of Partnership Units
equal to the product of

     

    (i)           the
number of Shares-in-Trust purchased by the General Partner, multiplied
by

     

    (ii)           a
fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the
Exchange Factor in effect on the date of such purchase.

              Distributions

            


    

     

    (a)           Cash Available for
Distribution.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.3, 5.4
and 12.2(c), the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute, at
such times as the General Partner shall determine (each a “Distribution Date”),
an amount of Cash Available for Distribution, determined by the General Partner
in its sole discretion to the Limited Partners and the General Partner, as of
the applicable Partnership Record Date, in accordance with each such Partner’s
respective Percentage Interest.  In no event may any Partner receive a
distribution pursuant to this Section 5.1(a) with respect to a Partnership Unit
if such Partner is entitled to receive a distribution with respect to Common
Stock for which such a Partnership Unit has been exchanged.

     

    (b)           Net Sales
Proceeds.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.1(e), 5.3,
5.4 and 12.2(c), Net Sales Proceeds shall be distributed as
follows:

     

    (i)           First, 100% to the
General Partner and Limited Partners in accordance with each such Partner’s
respective Percentage Interest until the Net Investment balance is
zero;

     

    (ii)           Second, 100% to the
General Partner and Limited Partners in accordance with each such Partner’s
respective Percentage Interest until the First Level Return balance is zero;
and

     

    (iii)           Thereafter, (A) 15%
to the Special Limited Partner, and (B) 85% to the General Partner and Limited
Partners in the case of this clause (B) in accordance with each such Partner’s
respective Percentage Interest.

     

    (c)           Listing
Amounts.  Upon Listing and subject to Section 5.1(e), the
General Partner shall cause the Partnership to issue and distribute to the
Special Limited Partner in redemption of the Special Limited Partner Interest a
Note (the “Listing
Note”) in an amount equal to 15% of the amount, if any, by which (i) the
sum of (A) the Market Value of all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock
plus (B) the sum of all Stockholder Distributions paid by the General Partner
prior to Listing, exceeds (ii) the sum of (Y) the total Gross Proceeds in all
Offerings plus (Z) the total amount of cash that, if distributed to those
Stockholders who purchased shares of Common Stock in an Offering, would have
provided such Stockholders a First Level Return on the Gross Proceeds raised in
all such Offerings.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
in accordance with Section 736 of the Code, the Listing Note shall be
disregarded for applicable income tax purposes and the Special Limited Partner
shall continue to be treated as a partner of the Partnership in respect of its
Special Limited Partner Interest for such purposes until the Partnership has
satisfied all of its obligations under the Listing Note.  Without
limiting the foregoing, the Special Limited Partner shall not be required to
accrue interest on the Listing Note in income and the Partnership shall not
deduct such interest for such purposes; provided, that, any cash or property
paid to the Special Limited Partner with respect to such interest shall be
reported to the Special Limited Partner on Internal Revenue Service Schedule K-1
to Form 1065 (or such successor schedule or form).

    (d)           Termination
Amounts.

     

    (i)           Upon
termination of the Advisory Agreement and subject to Sections 5.1(d)(ii) and

the Special Limited Partner in redemption of the Special Limited Partner
Interest (the “Termination Amount”)
in the form of a Note equal to 15% of the amount, if any, by which (A) the sum
of (1) the fair market value (determined by appraisal as of the Advisory
Agreement Termination Date) of the Investments on the Advisory Agreement
Termination Date, minus (2) any Loans secured by such Investments, plus (3) the
sum of all Stockholder Distributions paid by the General Partner through the
Advisory Agreement Termination Date on shares of Common Stock issued in all
Offerings through the Advisory Agreement Termination Date, minus (4) any amounts
distributable as of the Advisory Agreement Termination Date to the Limited
Partners who received Partnership Units in connection with the contribution of
any Investments to the Partnership, upon the liquidation or sale of such
Investments (assuming the liquidation or sale of such Investments on the
Advisory Agreement Termination Date), exceeds (B) the sum of (1) the Gross
Proceeds raised in
all Offerings through the Advisory Agreement Termination Date (less amounts paid
on or prior to the Advisory Agreement Termination Date to purchase or redeem any
shares of Common Stock purchased in an Offering pursuant to the General
Partner’s share repurchase plan) plus (2) the total amount of cash that, if
distributed to those Stockholders who purchased shares of Common Stock in an
Offering on or prior to the Advisory Agreement Termination Date, would have
provided such Stockholders a First Level Return on the Gross Proceeds raised in
all Offerings through the Advisory Agreement Termination Date, measured for the
period from inception through the Advisory Agreement Termination
Date.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in accordance
with Section 736 of the Code, the Termination Amount in the Form of a Note shall
be disregarded for applicable income tax purposes and the Special Limited
Partner shall continue to be treated as a partner of the Partnership in respect
of its Special Limited Partner Interest for such purposes until the Partnership
has satisfied all of its obligations under such Note.  Without
limiting the foregoing, the Special Limited Partner shall not be required to
accrue interest on such Note in income and the Partnership shall not deduct such
interest for such purposes; provided, that, any cash or property paid to the
Special Limited Partner with respect to such interest shall be reported to the
Special Limited Partner on Internal Revenue Service Schedule K-1 to Form 1065
(or such successor schedule or form).

     

    (ii)           Upon
termination of the Advisory Agreement and subject to Section 5.1(e), the Special
Limited Partner may elect to receive, in lieu of its right to receive the

there is a subsequent Listing, then the Special Limited Partner shall be
entitled to receive the Termination Amount (in redemption of the Special Limited
Partner Interest) payable out of Net Sales Proceeds equal to 15% of the amount,

Stockholder Distributions paid by the General Partner through the date of
Listing on shares of Common Stock issued in Offerings through the Advisory

with the contribution of any Included Assets to the Partnership, upon the
liquidation or sale of such Included Assets (assuming the liquidation or sale of
such Included Assets on the date of Listing), exceeds (2) the sum of (y) the
Gross Proceeds raised in all Offerings through the Advisory Agreement
Termination Date (less amounts paid on or prior to the date of Listing to
purchase or redeem any shares of Common Stock purchased in an Offering on or
prior to the Advisory Agreement Termination Date pursuant to the General
Partner’s share repurchase plan), plus (z) the total amount of cash that, if
distributed to those Stockholders who purchased shares of Common Stock in an
Offering on or prior to the Advisory Agreement Termination Date, would have
provided such Stockholders a First Level Return on the Gross Proceeds raised in
all Offerings through the Advisory Agreement Termination Date, measured for the
period from inception through the date of Listing.

there is a subsequent Investment Liquidation Event, then the Special Limited
Partner shall be entitled to receive the Termination Amount (in redemption of
the Special Limited Partner Interest) payable out of Net Sales Proceeds equal to
15% of the amount, if any, by which (1) the sum of (w) the fair market value
(determined by appraisal as of the date of the Investment Liquidation Event) of
the Included Assets, minus (x) any Loans secured by the Included Assets, plus
(y) the sum of all Stockholder Distributions paid by the General Partner through
the date of the Investment Liquidity Event on shares of Common Stock issued in
Offerings through the Advisory Agreement Termination Date, minus (z) any amounts
distributable as of the date of the Investment Liquidation Event to the Limited

Net Sales Proceeds paid to the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section
5.1(b) prior to a Listing shall reduce dollar for dollar the amount of a Listing
Note to be issued and distributed pursuant to Section 5.1(c).  If the

would no longer be entitled to receive Net Sales Proceeds or a Termination
Amount.

     

    (ii)           Any
Net Sales Proceeds paid to the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section

be reduced by (y) the Market Value, with respect to the Listing Note,
and (z) the fair market value, with respect to the Termination Amount,
of the Common Stock on the date such Common Stock is issued to the Special
Limited Partner.

    (y)           contravene
the terms of any notes, mortgages or other types of debt obligations to which
the Partnership may be subject in conjunction with borrowed funds.

subject with respect to any Partnership Unit or the Special Limited Partner
Interest, the Partnership shall have the right to withhold amounts distributable
pursuant to this Article V to such Partner or the Special Limited Partner or
with respect to such Partnership Units or the Special Limited Partner Interest,
to the extent of the amount of such withholding tax or other similar tax
liability or obligation pursuant to the provisions contained in Section 10.5,
and the amount of any withholding shall reduce the right of such Partner or the
Special Limited Partner to future distribution to the extent provided in Section
10.5.

Agreement.

of any duty stated or implied by law or equity.

     

    (c)           At

    (iii)          The

it related to the ownership and operation of, or for the benefit of, the
Partnership. If certain expenses are incurred for the benefit of the Partnership
and other entities (including the General Partner), such expenses will be
allocated to the Partnership and such other entities in such a manner as the
General Partner in its reasonable discretion deems fair and reasonable. All
payments and reimbursements hereunder shall be characterized for federal income
tax purposes as expenses of the Partnership incurred on its behalf, and not as
expenses of the General Partner.

              7.6

            	
              Indemnification

            


    

     

    (a)           (i)           To
the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law or as provided herein, the
Partnership shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal fees and expenses),
judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts arising from any and all
claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative (collectively, “Claims”), that relate
to the operations of the Partnership or the General Partner as set forth in this
Agreement, in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be
involved, as a party or otherwise, so long as (w) the course of conduct which
gave rise to the Claim was taken, in the reasonable determination of the
Indemnitee made in good faith, in the best interests of the Partnership or the
General Partner, (x) such Claim was not the result of negligence or misconduct
by the Indemnitee, (y) the Indemnitee (if other than the General Partner) was
acting on behalf or performing services for the Partnership and (z) such
indemnification is not satisfied or recoverable from the assets of the
stockholders of the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Indemnitee (other than the General Partner) shall be indemnified for any Claim
arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws
unless (x) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count
involving alleged securities law violations as to such Indemnitee, (y) such
allegations have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of
competent jurisdiction as to such Indemnitee, or (z) a court of competent
jurisdiction approves a settlement of such allegations against such Indemnitee
and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be
made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised
of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission and of the published
position of any state securities regulatory authority in which the Common Stock
was offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities
law.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        36

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (ii)           Without
limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any
Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty (except a guaranty by a limited partner
of nonrecourse indebtedness of the Partnership or as otherwise provided in any
such loan guaranty), contractual obligation for any indebtedness or other
obligation or otherwise for any indebtedness of the Partnership or any
Subsidiary of the Partnership (including, without limitation, any indebtedness
which the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership has assumed or taken
subject to), and the General Partner is hereby authorized and empowered, on
behalf of the Partnership, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements
consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.6 in favor of any Indemnitee
having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness.

     

    (iii)           Any
indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall be made only out of the
assets of the Partnership, and neither the General Partner nor any Limited
Partner shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the
Partnership, or otherwise provide funds, to enable the Partnership to fund its
obligations under this Section 7.6.

     

    (b)           Reasonable
expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding shall be paid
or reimbursed by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of any and
all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative made or threatened against an Indemnitee upon
receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the
Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for
indemnification by the Partnership as authorized in this Section 7.6 has been
met; and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay
the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has
not been met.

     

    (c)           The
indemnification provided by this Section 7.6 shall be in addition to any other
rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any
agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or
otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in
such capacity unless otherwise provided in a written agreement pursuant to which
such Indemnities are indemnified.

    (d)          The
Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance,
on behalf of the Indemnities and such other Persons as the General Partner shall
determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that
may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities,
regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such
Person against such liability under the provisions of this
Agreement.

     

    (e)           For
purposes of this Section 7.6, the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested
an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the
performance by such Indemnitee of its duties to the Partnership also imposes
duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such Indemnitee to the plan or
participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an
Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law
shall constitute fines within the meaning of this Section 7.6; and actions taken
or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the
performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the
interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be
for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the
Partnership.

     

    (f)           In
no event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Partners (other than the General
Partner) to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set
forth in this Agreement.

     

    (g)           An
Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this
Section 7.6 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with
respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise
permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

     

    (h)           (i)           The
provisions of this Section 7.6 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their
heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create
any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

     

    (ii)           Any
amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.6 or any provision hereof
shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the Partnership’s
liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.6, as in effect immediately
prior to such amendment, modification, or repeal with respect to claims arising
from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such
amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or
be asserted.

     

    (i)           If
and to the extent any payments to the General Partner pursuant to this Section
7.6 constitute gross income to the General Partner (as opposed to the repayment
of advances made on behalf of the Partnership), such amounts shall constitute
guaranteed payments within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, shall be
treated consistently therewith by the Partnership and all Partners, and shall
not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Partners’ Capital
Accounts.

     

    (j)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner shall not be
entitled to indemnification hereunder for any loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense for which the General Partner is obligated to indemnify the Partnership
under any other agreement between the General Partner and the
Partnership.

              Liability of the
      General Partner

            


    

     

    (a)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, neither the General
Partner nor the investment advisor of the General Partner, nor any of their
respective officers and directors, shall be liable for monetary damages to the
Partnership, any Partners or any Assignees for losses sustained or liabilities
incurred as a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or of any
act or omission unless the General Partner or its investment advisor, as the
case may be, acted in bad faith and the act or omission was material to the
matter giving rise to the loss, liability or benefit not derived.

     

    (b)           (i)           The
Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the General Partner (and its
investment advisor) is acting on behalf of the Partnership and the shareholders
of the General Partner collectively, that the General Partner (and its
investment advisor), subject to the provisions of Section 7.1(e) hereof, is
under no obligation to consider the separate interest of the Limited Partners
(including, without limitation, the tax consequences to the Limited Partners or
Assignees) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to
take) any actions, and that the General Partner (and its investment advisor)
shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities
incurred, or benefits not derived by Limited Partners in connection with such
decisions; provided
that the General
Partner (and its investment advisor) has acted in good faith.

     

    (ii)           With
respect to any indebtedness of the Partnership which any Limited Partner may
have guaranteed, the General Partner (and its investment advisor) shall have no
duty to keep such indebtedness outstanding.

     

    (c)        
  (i)           Subject
to its obligations and duties as General Partner set forth in Section 7.1(a)
hereof, the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this
Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either
directly or by or through its agent, including its investment
advisor.

     

    (ii)           The
General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the
part of any such agent appointed by the General Partner in good
faith.

     

    (d)           The
Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that if any conflict in the fiduciary
duties owed by the General Partner to its stockholders and by the General
Partner, in its capacity as a general partner of the Partnership, to the Limited
Partners, the General Partner may act in the best interests of the General
Partner’s stockholders without violating its fiduciary duties to the Limited
Partners, and that the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages
for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived by the
Limited Partners in connection with any such violation.

     

    (e)           Any
amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any provision hereof
shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the
General Partner’s and its officers’ and directors’ liability to the Partnership
and the Limited Partners under this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior
to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or
relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment,
modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be
asserted.

partner in its capacity as such.

    (b)           (i)          
 Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Limited Partner or the
Special Limited Partner shall constitute a loan by the Partnership to such
Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner, which loan shall be repaid by
such Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner as the case may be within
fifteen (15) days after notice from the General Partner that such payment must
be made unless

     

    (A)           the
Partnership withholds such payment from a distribution which would otherwise be
made to the Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner; or

     

    (B)           the
General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such
payment may be satisfied out of the available funds of the Partnership which
would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Limited Partner or the
Special Limited Partner.

     

    (ii)          
Any amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i)(A) or (B) shall be
treated as having been distributed to the Limited Partner.

     

    (c)           (i)          
 Each Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Partnership a security interest in
such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest and such Special Limited Partner’s
Special Limited Partner Interest, as the case may be, to secure such Limited
Partner’s or Special Limited Partner’s obligation to pay to the Partnership any
amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 10.5.

     

    (ii)          
(A)           If a
Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner fails to pay when due any amounts
owed to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 10.5, the General Partner may,
in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to make the payment to the
Partnership on behalf of such defaulting Limited Partner or Special Limited
Partner, and in such event shall be deemed to have loaned such amount to such
defaulting Limited Partner or Special Limited Partner and shall succeed to all
rights and remedies of the Partnership as against such defaulting Limited
Partner or Special Limited Partner.

     

    (B)           Without
limitation, in such event, the General Partner shall have the right to receive
distributions that would otherwise be distributable to such defaulting Limited
Partner or Special Limited Partner until such time as such loan, together with
all interest thereon, has been paid in full, and any such distributions so
received by the General Partner shall be treated as having been distributed to
the defaulting Limited Partner or Special Limited Partner and immediately paid
by the defaulting Limited Partner or Special Limited Partner to the General
Partner in repayment of such loan.

     

    (iii)          Any
amount payable by a Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner hereunder
shall bear interest at the highest base or prime rate of interest published from
time to time by The Wall Street Journal, plus four (4) percentage points, but in
no event higher than the maximum lawful rate of interest on such obligation,
such interest to accrue from the date such amount is due (i.e., fifteen (15)
days after demand) until such amount is paid in full.

     

    (iv)          Each
Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner shall take such actions as the
Partnership or the General Partner shall request in order to perfect or enforce
the security interest created hereunder.

    (a)           (i)           The
term “Transfer,” when used in this Article 11 with respect to a Partnership
Interest or a Partnership Unit, shall be deemed to refer to a transaction by
which the General Partner purports to assign all or any part of its General
Partner Interest to another Person, or a Limited Partner purports to assign all
or any part of its Limited Partner Interest to another Person, and includes a
sale, assignment, gift, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange
or any other disposition by law or otherwise.

     

    (ii)           The
term “Transfer” when used in this Article 11 does not include any exchange of
Partnership Units for cash or Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange Rights
Agreement.

     

    (b)           (i)           No
Partnership Interest shall be Transferred, in whole or in part, except in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article
11.

     

    (ii)           Any
Transfer or purported Transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance
with this Article 11 shall be null and void.

              Transfer of the
      General Partner’s General Partner
  Interest

            


    

     

    (a)           The
General Partner may not Transfer any of its General Partner Interest or withdraw
as General Partner, or Transfer any of its Limited Partner Interest,
except

     

    (i)           if
holders of at least two-thirds of the Limited Partner Interests consent to such
Transfer or withdrawal;

     

    (ii)           if
such Transfer is to an entity which is wholly owned by the General Partner and
is a Qualified REIT Subsidiary as defined in Section 856(i) of the Code;
or

     

    (iii)           in
connection with a transaction described in Section 11.2(c) or 11.2(d) (as
applicable)

     

    (b)           If
the General Partner withdraws as general partner of the Partnership in
accordance with Section 11.2(a), the General Partner’s General Partner Interest
shall immediately be converted into a Limited Partner Interest.

     

    (c)           Except
as otherwise provided in Section 11.2(d), the General Partner shall not engage
in any merger, consolidation or other combination of the General Partner with or
into another Person (other than a merger in which the General Partner is the
surviving entity) or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or any
reclassification, or any recapitalization of outstanding Common Stock (other
than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of
a subdivision or combination of Common Stock) (a “Transaction”),
unless

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        49

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (i)           in
connection with the Transaction all Limited Partners will either receive, or
will have the right to elect to receive, for each Partnership Unit an amount of
cash, securities, or other property equal to the product of the Exchange Factor
and the amount of cash, securities or other property or value paid in the
Transaction to or received by a holder of one share of Common Stock
corresponding to such Partnership Unit in consideration of one share of Common
Stock at any time during the period from and after the date on which the
Transaction is consummated; provided that if, in connection with the
Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer (“Offer”) shall have
been made to and accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding
Common Stock, each holder of Partnership Units shall be given the option to
exchange its Partnership Units for the amount of cash, securities, or other
property which a Limited Partner would have received had it

     

    (A)          exercised
its Exchange Right and

     

    (B)           sold,
tendered or exchanged pursuant to the Offer the Common Stock received upon
exercise of the Exchange Right immediately prior to the expiration of the
Offer.

     

    The
foregoing is not intended to, and does not, affect the ability of (i) a
stockholder of the General Partner to sell its stock in the General Partner or
(ii) the General Partner to perform its obligations (under agreement or
otherwise) to such stockholders (including the fulfillment of any obligations
with respect to registering the sale of stock under applicable securities
laws).

     

    (d)           (i)          
 Notwithstanding Section 11.2(c), the General Partner may merge into or
consolidate with another entity if immediately after such merger or
consolidation

     

    (A)          substantially
all of the assets of the successor or surviving entity (the “Surviving General
Partner”), other than Partnership Units held by the General Partner, are
contributed to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution in exchange for
Partnership Units with a fair market value equal to the value of the assets so
contributed as determined by the Surviving General Partner in good faith
and

     

    (B)           the
Surviving General Partner expressly agrees to assume all obligations of the
General Partner hereunder.

     

    (ii)           (A)           Upon
such contribution and assumption, the Surviving General Partner shall have the
right and duty to amend this Agreement and the Exchange Rights Agreement as set
forth in this Section 11.2(d).

     

    (B)           (1)           The
Surviving General Partner shall in good faith arrive at a new method for the
calculation of the Exchange Factor for a Partnership Unit after any such merger
or consolidation so as to approximate the existing method for such calculation
as closely as reasonably possible.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        50

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (2)           Such
calculation shall take into account, among other things, the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property that was receivable upon such merger or
consolidation by a holder of Common Stock or options, warrants or other rights
relating thereto, and which a holder of Partnership Units could have acquired
had such Partnership Units been redeemed for Common Stock immediately prior to
such merger or consolidation.

     

    (C)           Such
amendment to this Agreement shall provide for adjustment to such method of
calculation, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for with respect to the Exchange Factor.

     

    (iii)           The
above provisions of this Section 11.2(d) shall similarly apply to successive
mergers or consolidations permitted hereunder.

     

    
      	
              11.3

            	
              Limited Partners’
      Rights to Transfer

            


    

     

    (a)           Subject
to the provisions of Sections 11.3(c), 11.3(d), 11.3(e), 11.4 and 11.6, a
Limited Partner may, without the consent of the General Partner, Transfer all or
any portion of its Limited Partner Interest, or any of such Limited Partner’s
economic right as a Limited Partner. In order to effect such transfer, the
Limited Partner must deliver to the General Partner a duly executed copy of the
instrument making such transfer and such instrument must evidence the written
acceptance by the assignee of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement
and represent that such assignment was made in accordance with all applicable
laws and regulations.

     

    (b)           (i)           If
a Limited Partner is Incapacitated, the executor, administrator, trustee,
committee, guardian, conservator or receiver of such Limited Partner’s estate
shall have all of the rights of a Limited Partner, but not more rights than
those enjoyed by other Limited Partners, for the purpose of settling or managing
the estate and such power as the Incapacitated Limited Partner possessed to
Transfer all or any part of his or its interest in the Partnership.

     

    (ii)           The
Incapacity of a Limited Partner, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or
terminate the Partnership.

     

    (c)           The
General Partner may prohibit any Transfer by a Limited Partner of its
Partnership Units if it reasonably believes (based on the advice of counsel)
such Transfer would require filing of a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or would otherwise violate any federal or
state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the
Partnership Units.

     

    (d)           No
Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units may be made to any Person
if

     

    (i)           it
would adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify
as a REIT or would subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under
Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code;

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        51

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (ii)           it
would result in the Partnership being treated as an association taxable as a
corporation for federal income tax purposes;

     

    (iii)           such
Transfer would cause the Partnership to become, with respect to any employee
benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in
Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Section
4975(c) of the Code);

     

    (iv)           such
Transfer would, in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, cause any
portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any employee
benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section
2510.2-101;

     

    (v)           such
Transfer would subject the Partnership to regulation under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, each as amended;

     

    (vi)          without
the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld in its sole
and absolute discretion, such Transfer is a sale or exchange, and such sale or
exchange would, when aggregated with all other sales and exchanges during the
12-month period ending on the date of the proposed Transfer, result in 50% or
more of the interests in Partnership capital and profits being sold or exchanged
during such 12-month period; or

     

    (vii)         such
Transfer is effectuated through an “established securities market” or a
“secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of
Section 7704 of the Code.

     

    (e)           No
transfer of any Partnership Units may be made to a lender to the Partnership or
any Person who is related (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-4(b))
to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a nonrecourse liability
(within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-1(a)(2)), without the consent
of the General Partner, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute
discretion, provided
that as a condition to
such consent the lender will be required to enter into an arrangement with the
Partnership and the General Partner to exchange for the Cash Amount any
Partnership Units in which a security interest is held simultaneously with the
time at which such lender would be deemed to be a partner in the Partnership for
purposes of allocating liabilities to such lender under Section 752 of the
Code.

     

    (f)           Any
Transfer in contravention of any of the provisions of this Section 11.3 shall be
void and ineffectual and shall not be binding upon, or recognized by, the
Partnership.

              Substituted Limited
      Partners

            


    

     

    (a)           (i)           No
Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a Permitted Transferee for a
Limited Partner in its place.

     

    (ii)           The
General Partner shall, however, have the right to consent to the admission of a
Permitted Transferee of the Partnership Interest of a Limited Partner pursuant
to this Section 11.4 as a Substituted Limited Partner, which consent may be
given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute
discretion.

    (iii)           The
General Partner’s failure or refusal to permit such transferee to become a
Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action against
the Partnership or any Partner.

     

    (b)           A
transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance
with this Article 11 shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all
the restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner under this
Agreement.

     

    (c)           (i)           No
Permitted Transferee will be admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, unless
such transferee has furnished to the General Partner evidence of acceptance in
form satisfactory to the General Partner of all of the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and, as it relates to the Substituted Limited Partners, the
Exchange Rights Agreement, including, without limitation, the power of attorney
granted in Section 2.4 hereof.

     

    (ii)           Upon
the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner, the General Partner shall amend
Exhibit A to reflect the name, address, number of Partnership Units, and
Percentage Interest of such Substituted Limited Partner, and to eliminate or
adjust, if necessary, the name, address and interest of the predecessor of such
Substituted Limited Partner.

     

    
      	
              11.5

            	
              Assignees

            


    

     

    (a)           If
the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not consent to
the admission of any transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner, as described
in Section 11.4(a), such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes
of this Agreement.

     

    (b)           An
Assignee shall be deemed to have had assigned to it, and shall be entitled to
receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net
Losses and any other items of gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Partnership
attributable to the Partnership Units assigned to such transferee, but shall not
be deemed to be a holder of Partnership Units for any other purpose under this
Agreement, and shall not be entitled to vote such Partnership Units in any
matter presented to the Limited Partners, for a vote (such Partnership Units
being deemed to have been voted on such matter in the same proportion as all
other Partnership Units held by Limited Partners are voted).

     

    (c)           If
any such transferee desires to make a further assignment of any such Partnership
Units, such transferee shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Article
11 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to
make an assignment of Partnership Units.

              General
      Provisions

            


    

     

    (a)           No
Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of a
permitted Transfer of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units in
accordance with this Article 11 or, as it relates to the Limited Partners,
pursuant to exchange of all of its Partnership Units pursuant to the applicable
Exchange Rights Agreement.

     

    (b)           (i)           Any
Limited Partner which shall Transfer all of its Partnership Units in a Transfer
permitted pursuant to this Article 11 shall cease to be a Limited Partner upon
the admission of all Assignees of such Partnership Units as Substituted Limited
Partners.

     

    (ii)           Similarly,
any Limited Partner which shall Transfer all of its partnership Units pursuant
to an exchange of all of its Partnership Units pursuant to an Exchange Rights
Agreement shall cease to be a Limited Partner.

     

    (c)           Other
than pursuant to the Exchange Rights Agreement or with the consent of the
General Partner, transfers pursuant to this Article 11 may only be made as of
the first day of a fiscal quarter of the Partnership.

     

    (d)           (i)           If
any Partnership Interest is transferred or assigned during the Partnership’s
fiscal year in compliance with the provisions of this Article 11 or exchanged
pursuant to the applicable Exchange Rights Agreement on any day other than the
first day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof
and all other items attributable to such interest for such Partnership Year
shall be divided and allocated between the transferor Partner and the transferee
Partner by taking into account their varying interests during the Partnership
Year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using the interim closing of
the books method.

     

    (ii)           Solely
for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar
month in which the Transfer or assignment occurs shall be allocated to the
transferee Partner, and none of such items for the calendar month in which an
exchange occurs shall be allocated to the exchanging Partner, provided, however, that the General
Partner may adopt such other conventions relating to allocations in connection
with transfers, assignments, or exchanges as it determines are necessary or
appropriate.

     

    (iii)           All
distributions pursuant to Section 5.1(a) attributable to Partnership Units, with
respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such
Transfer, assignment, or exchange of such Partnership Units, shall be made to
the transferor Partner or the exchanging Partner, as the case may be, and in the
case of a Transfer or assignment other than an exchange, all distributions
pursuant to Section 5.1(a) thereafter attributable to such Partnership Units
shall be made to the transferee Partner.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        54

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (e)           In
addition to any other restrictions on transfer herein contained, including
without limitation the provisions of this Article 11, in no event may any
Transfer or assignment of a Partnership Interest by any Partner (including
pursuant to Section 8.6) be made without the express consent of the General
Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) to any person or entity who
lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Partnership Interest; (ii) in
violation of applicable law; (iii) of any component portion of a Partnership
Interest, such as the Capital Account, or rights to distributions, separate and
apart from all other components of a Partnership Interest; (iv) if in the
opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership such transfer would cause a
termination of the Partnership for federal or state income tax purposes (except
as a result of the exchange for Common Stock of all Partnership Units held by
all Limited Partners or pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted under
Section 7.11 or Section 11.2); (v) if in the opinion of counsel to the
Partnership, there would be a significant risk that such transfer would cause
the Partnership to cease to be classified as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes (except as a result of the exchange for Common Stock of all
Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners or pursuant to a transaction
expressly permitted under Section 7.11 or Section 11.2); (vi) if such transfer
requires the registration of such Partnership Interest pursuant to any
applicable federal or state securities laws; (vii) if such transfer is
effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market”
(or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Section 7704 of
the Code or such transfer causes the Partnership to become a “publicly traded
partnership,” as such term is defined in Section 469(k)(2) or Section 7704(b) of
the Code (provided that this clause (vii) shall not be the basis for limiting or
restricting in any manner the exercise of the Exchange Right under Section 8.6
unless, and only to the extent that, outside tax counsel provides to the General
Partner an opinion to the effect that, in the absence of such limitation or
restriction, there is a significant risk that the Partnership will be treated as
a “publicly traded partnership” and, by reason thereof, taxable as a
corporation); (viii) such transfer could adversely affect the ability of the
General Partner to remain qualified as a REIT; or (ix) if in the opinion of
legal counsel of the transferring Partner (which opinion and counsel are
reasonably satisfactory to the Partnership), or legal counsel of the
Partnership, such transfer would adversely affect the ability of the General
Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject the General Partner to any
additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, if the General
Partner has elected to be qualified as a REIT.

     

    (f)           The
General Partner shall monitor the transfers of interests in the Partnership to
determine (i) if such interests are being traded on an “established securities
market” or a “secondary market” (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within
the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code; and (ii) whether additional transfers
of interests would result in the Partnership being unable to qualify for at
least one of the “safe harbors” set forth in Regulations Section 1.7704-1 (or
such other guidance subsequently published by the IRS setting forth safe harbors
under which interests will not be treated as “readily tradable on a secondary
market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section
7704 of the Code) (the “Safe Harbors”). The General Partner shall take all steps
reasonably necessary or appropriate to prevent any trading of interests or any
recognition by the Partnership of transfers made on such markets and, except as
otherwise provided herein, to insure that at least one of the Safe Harbors is
met; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not authorize the General
Partner to limit or restrict in any manner the right of any holder of a
Partnership Unit to exercise the Exchange Right in accordance with the terms of
the applicable Exchange Rights Agreement unless, and only to the extent that,
outside tax counsel provides to the General Partner an opinion to the effect
that, in the absence of such limitation or restriction, there is a significant
risk that the Partnership will be treated as a “publicly traded partnership”
and, by reason thereof, taxable as a corporation.

    (a)           The
Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of Substituted Limited

    (ii)           an
event of withdrawal of the General Partner, as defined in the Act (other than an
event of bankruptcy), unless, within ninety (90) days after such event of
withdrawal, a “majority in interest” (as defined below) of the remaining
Partners Consent in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to
the appointment, effective as of the date of withdrawal, of a successor General
Partner;

     

    (iii)           an

the General Partner);

     

    (iv)           entry
of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to the
provisions of the Act;

     

    (v)           a
Capital Transaction; or

     

    (vi)           a
final and non-appealable judgment is entered by a court of competent
jurisdiction ruling that the General Partner is bankrupt or insolvent, or a

state bankruptcy or insolvency laws as now or hereafter in effect, unless prior
to the entry of such order or judgment and a “majority in interest” (as defined
below) of the remaining Partners Consent in writing to continue the business of
the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of a date prior to the date
of such order or judgment, of a substitute General Partner.

    (a)         
  (i)           Upon
the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Partnership shall continue solely for
the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its
assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Partners.

     

    (ii)           No
Partner shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or
appropriate for, the winding up of the Partnership’s business and
affairs.

     

    (iii)           The
General Partner, or, if there is no remaining General Partner, any Person
elected unanimously by the Limited Partners holding at least a “majority in
interest” (the General Partner or such other Person being referred to herein as
the “Liquidator”), shall
be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership
and shall take full account of the Partnership’s liabilities and property and
the Partnership property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with
obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom (which may, to the
extent determined by the General Partner, include shares of common stock or
other securities of the General Partner) shall be applied and distributed in the
following order:

     

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

     

    (B)           Second,
to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities
to the General Partner;

     

    (C)           Third,
to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities
to the other Partners; and

     

    (D)           The
balance, if any, shall be distributed to all Partners (including the Special
Limited Partner) with positive Capital Accounts in accordance with their
respective positive Capital Account balances.

     

    (iv)           The
General Partner shall not receive any additional compensation for any services
performed pursuant to this Article 13.

     

    (v)           Any
distributions pursuant to this Section 13.2(a) shall be made by the end of the
Partnership’s taxable year in which the liquidation occurs (or, if later, within
90 days after the date of the liquidation).

     

    (b)            (i)           Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 13.2(a) hereof which require liquidation of the assets
of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if
prior to or upon dissolution of the Partnership the Liquidator determines that
an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would be
impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners (including the Special
Limited Partner), the Liquidator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, defer
for a reasonable time the liquidation of any asset except those necessary to
satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (including to those Partners, including
the Special Limited Partner, as creditors) or distribute to the Partners
(including the Special Limited Partner), in lieu of cash, as tenants in common
and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2(a) hereof, undivided
interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for
liquidation.

    (ii)           Any
such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of
the Liquidator, such distributions in kind are in the best interests of the
Partners (including the Special Limited Partner), and shall be subject to such
conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the
Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the
operation of such properties at such time.

     

    (iii)           The
Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in
kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

     

    (c)           In
the discretion of the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that
would otherwise be made to the General Partner, the Limited Partners and the
Special Limited Partner pursuant to this Article 13 may be:

     

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

     

    (B)           withheld
or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Partnership liabilities
(contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any
installment obligations owed to the Partnership, provided that such withheld or
escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the General Partner, the Limited
Partners and the Special Limited Partner in the manner and order of priority set
forth in Section 13.2(a), as soon as practicable.

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

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

     

    (b)           Except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Limited Partner shall have priority
over any other Partner as to the return of its Capital Contributions,
distributions, or allocations.

    If a
Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs that would, but for the provisions
of an election or objection by one or more Partners pursuant to Section 13.1,
result in a dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner shall, within
thirty (30) days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each of the
Partners (including the Special Limited Partner).

Section 13.2 hereof, the Partnership shall be terminated, a certificate of
cancellation shall be filed, and all qualifications of the Partnership as a

affairs of the Partnership and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section
13.2 hereof in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such
winding-up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect among
the Partners (including the Special Limited Partner) during the period of
liquidation.

    Exhibit
B


     

    Allocations

     

    For
purposes of this Exhibit B, the term “Partner” shall include the Special Limited
Partner.

     

    1.            
Allocation of Net
Income and Net Loss.

     

    (a)           General.

     

    (i)           Net
Income, Net Loss and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain,
loss or deduction, of the Partnership for each fiscal year or other applicable
period of the Partnership shall be allocated among the General Partner and
Limited Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage
Interests;

     

    (ii)           Notwithstanding
the foregoing, and subject only to the provisions of subparagraph 1(b) and, to
the extent set forth in this clause (ii) below, subparagraph 1(c), Net Income
shall first be allocated to the Special Limited Partner until the Special
Limited Partner has received aggregate allocations of income for all fiscal
years equal to the aggregate amount of distributions the Special Limited Partner
is entitled to receive or has received with respect to the Special Limited
Partner Interest for such fiscal year and all prior fiscal years, provided that
in the event the Special Limited Partner’s entitlement to income allocations in
such fiscal year would be satisfied pursuant to the allocations set forth in
subparagraph 1(c) below, then such allocations shall be made pursuant to
subparagraph 1(c) below in lieu of the provisions of this clause
(ii).

     

    (b)           General Partner Gross Income
Allocation. There shall be specially allocated to the General Partner an
amount of (i) first, items of Partnership income and (ii) second,
items of Partnership gain during each fiscal year or other applicable period,
before any other allocations are made hereunder, in an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of (A) the cumulative distributions made to the General
Partner under Section 7.3(b) of the Agreement, other than distributions which
would properly be treated as “guaranteed payments” or which are attributable to
the reimbursement of expenses which would properly be deductible by the
Partnership, over (B) the cumulative allocations of Partnership income and
gain to the General Partner under this subparagraph 1(b).

     

    (c)           Special Allocation with
Respect to Sales. Items of income, gain, credit, loss and deduction of
the Partnership for each fiscal year or other applicable period from Sales,
other than any such items allocated under subparagraph 1(b), shall be allocated
among the Partners in a manner that will, as nearly as possible (after giving
effect to the allocations under subparagraph 1(a) and paragraph 2) cause the
Capital Account balance of each Partner at the end of such fiscal year or other
applicable period to equal (i) the amount of the distributions that would be
made to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.1(b) of the Agreement if the
Partnership were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets were sold for
cash equal to their Gross Asset Value, taking into account any adjustments
thereto for such period, all Partnership liabilities were satisfied in full in
cash according to their terms (limited with respect to each nonrecourse
liability to the Gross Asset Value of the assets securing such liability), and
Net Sales Proceeds (after satisfaction of such liabilities) were distributed in
full in accordance with Section 5.1(b) to the Partners immediately after making
such allocations, minus (ii) the sum of such Partner’s share of Partnership
Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain and the amount, if any
and without duplication, that the Partner would be obligated to contribute to
the capital of the Partnership, all computed immediately prior to the
hypothetical sale of assets.

    2.           Regulatory
Allocations. Notwithstanding any provisions of paragraph 1 of this
Exhibit B, the following special allocations shall be made.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        B-2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

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

     

    (e)           Partner Nonrecourse
Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other
applicable period with respect to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt shall be specially
allocated to the Partner that bears the economic risk of loss for such Partner
Nonrecourse Debt (as determined under Sections 1.704-2(b)(4) and 1.704-2(i)(1)
of the Regulations).

     

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

     

    
                   
(g)    Gross Income
Allocation.  If any
Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any fiscal year or other applicable period which is in
excess of the amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to the
penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and
1.704-2(i)(5), such Member shall be
specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as
possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this subparagraph 2(g) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit in excess of such
amount after all other allocations provided
for under this Agreement have been made as
if subparagraph 2(c) and this subparagraph 2(g) were not in this
Agreement.

    

     

    3.           Curative Allocations.
The General Partner is authorized to offset all Regulatory Allocations either
with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of
Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this paragraph
3.  Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Exhibit B
(other than the Regulatory Allocations and Tax Allocations), the General
Partner shall make
such offsetting allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction in
whatever manner the General Partner determines appropriate so that, after such
offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to
the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would
have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this
Agreement.

     

    4.           Tax
Allocations.

     

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

     

    (b)           Section 1245/1250
Recapture. Subject to paragraph 4(c), if any portion of gain
from the sale of Partnership assets is treated as gain which is ordinary income
by virtue of the application of Code Sections 1245 or 1250 (“Affected Gain”),
then such Affected Gain shall be allocated among the Partners in the same
proportion that the depreciation and amortization deductions giving rise to the
Affected Gain were allocated. This subparagraph 4(b) shall not alter the amount
of Net Income (or items thereof) allocated among the Partners, but merely the
character of such Net Income (or items thereof). For purposes hereof, in order
to determine the proportionate allocations of depreciation and amortization
deductions for each fiscal year or other applicable period, such deductions
shall be deemed allocated on the same basis as Net Income and Net Loss for such
respective period.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        B-3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (c)           Precontribution Gain,
Revaluations. With respect to any Contributed Property, the Partnership
shall use any permissible method contained in the Regulations promulgated under
Section 704(c) of the Code selected by the General Partner, in its sole
discretion, to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of
such asset and the fair market value of such asset as of the time of the
contribution (“Precontribution Gain”). Each Partner hereby agrees to report
income, gain, loss and deduction on such Partner’s federal income tax return in
a manner consistent with the method used by the Partnership. If any asset has a
Gross Asset Value which is different from the Partnership’s adjusted basis for
such asset for federal income tax purposes because the Partnership has revalued
such asset pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), the allocations
of Tax Items shall be made in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c)
of the Code and the Regulations and the methods of allocation promulgated
thereunder. The intent of this subparagraph 4(c) is that each Partner who
contributed to the capital of the Partnership a Contributed Property will bear,
through reduced allocations of depreciation, increased allocations of gain or
other items, the tax detriments associated with any Precontribution Gain. This
subparagraph 4(c) is to be interpreted consistently with such
intent.

     

    (d)           Excess Nonrecourse Liability
Safe Harbor. Pursuant to Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), solely for
purposes of determining each Partner’s proportionate share of the “excess
nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership (as defined in Regulations Section
1.752-3(a)(3)), the Partners’ respective interests in Partnership profits shall
be determined under any permissible method reasonably determined by the General
Partner; provided, however, that each Partner who has contributed an asset to
the Partnership shall be allocated, to the extent possible, a share of “excess
nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership which results in such Partner being
allocated nonrecourse liabilities in an amount which is at least equal to the
amount of income pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations
promulgated thereunder (the “Liability Shortfall”). If there is an insufficient
amount of nonrecourse liabilities to allocate to each Partner an amount of
nonrecourse liabilities equal to the Liability Shortfall, then an amount of
nonrecourse liabilities in proportion to, and to the extent of, the Liability
Shortfall shall be allocated to each Partner.

     

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

     

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