                           necessary, in the sole discretion of the General
                           Partner, to effectuate the terms or intent of this

Nothing contained herein shall be construed as authorizing the General Partner
to amend this Agreement except in accordance with Article 14 hereof or as may be
otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement.

                  B.       The foregoing power of attorney is hereby declared to
be irrevocable and a power coupled with an interest, in recognition of the fact
that each of the Partners will be relying upon the power of the General Partner
to act as contemplated by this Agreement in any filing or other action by it on
behalf of the Partnership, and it shall survive and not be affected by the
subsequent Incapacity of any Limited Partner or the transfer of all or any
portion of such Limited Partner's Partnership Interest and shall extend to such
Limited Partner's heirs, successors, assigns and personal representatives. Each
such Limited Partner hereby agrees to be bound by any representation made by the
General Partner, acting in good faith pursuant to such power of attorney; and
each such Limited Partner hereby waives any and all defenses which may be
available to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the General Partner,
taken in good faith under such power of attorney. Each Limited Partner shall
execute and deliver to the General Partner or the Liquidator, within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of the General Partner's or Liquidator's request
therefor, such further designation, powers of attorney and other instruments as
the General Partner or the Liquidator, as the case may be, deems necessary to
effectuate this Agreement and the purposes of the Partnership.

         Section 2.5       Term

         The term of the Partnership commenced on February 9, 1994, and shall
continue until December 3 1, 2093, unless it is dissolved sooner pursuant to the
provisions of Article 13 or as otherwise provided by law.

                                     PURPOSE

         Section 3.1       Purpose and Business

         The purpose and nature of the business to be conducted by the
Partnership is (i) to conduct any business that may be lawfully conducted by a
limited partnership organized pursuant to the Act, including, without
limitation, to acquire, hold, own, develop, construct, improve, maintain,
operate, sell, lease, transfer, encumber, convey, exchange, and otherwise
dispose of or deal with real and personal property of all kinds; to acquire
stock ownership interests in and to exercise all of the powers of a stockholder
in the Subsidiary Development Corporations and the Management Company; (ii) to
enter into any partnership, joint venture or other similar arrangement to engage
in any of the foregoing or the ownership of interests in any entity engaged in
any of the foregoing; and to exercise all of the powers of an owner in any such
entity; and (iii) to do anything necessary, appropriate, proper, advisable,
desirable, convenient or incidental to the foregoing; provided, however, that
such business shall be limited to and conducted in such a manner as to permit
Crescent Equities at all times to qualify as a REIT, unless Crescent Equities
voluntarily terminates its REIT status pursuant to its Declaration of Trust. In
connection with the foregoing, and without limiting Crescent Equities' right in
its sole discretion to cease qualifying as a REIT, the Partners acknowledge that
Crescent Equities'

                                     - 17 -
<PAGE>

current status as a REIT inures to the benefit of all the Partners and not
solely the Crescent Group.

         Section 3.2       Powers

         Subject to all of the terms, covenants, conditions and limitations
contained in this Agreement and any other agreement entered into by the
Partnership, the Partnership shall have full power and authority to do any and
all acts and things necessary, appropriate, proper, advisable, desirable,
incidental to or convenient for the furtherance and accomplishment of the
purposes and business described herein and for the protection and benefit of the
Partnership, including, without limitation, full power and authority, directly
or through its ownership interest in other entities, to enter into, perform and
carry out contracts of any kind, borrow money and issue evidences of
indebtedness, whether or not secured by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge or other
lien, acquire and develop real property, and lease, sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of real property; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not
take, or refrain from taking, any action which, in the judgment of General
Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) could adversely affect the
ability of Crescent Equities to achieve or maintain qualification as a REIT,
(ii) could subject Crescent Equities to any additional taxes under Section 857
or Section 4981 of the Code, or (iii) could violate any law or regulation of any
governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over Crescent Equities or its
securities, unless such action (or inaction) shall have been specifically
consented to by the General Partner in writing.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                              CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

         Section 4.1       Capital Contributions of the Partners

                  A.       Each Partner listed in Exhibit A has previously made
a Capital Contribution to the Partnership as specified in the First Amended
Agreement or in the Second Amended Agreement, as the case may be, in exchange
for its Partnership Units and Partnership Interest set forth in Exhibit A.

                  B.       The Partners shall own Partnership Units in the
amounts set forth in Exhibit A and shall have Partnership Interests in the
Partnership as set forth in Exhibit A, which Partnership Units and Partnership
Interests shall be adjusted in Exhibit A from time to time by the General
Partner to the extent necessary to reflect accurately the exercise of Exchange
Rights, Capital Contributions, transfers of Partnership Interests, admissions of
Additional Limited Partners or Employee Limited Partners, or similar events.
Except as provided in Section 10.5, or as a result of directly paying any
Partnership debt, the Partners shall have no obligation to make any additional
Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership.

                  C.       The interest of each Limited Partner in Partnership
Units may be evidenced by one or more certificates in such form as the General
Partner may from time to time prescribe. Upon surrender to the General Partner
of a certificate evidencing the ownership of Partnership Units accompanied by
proper evidence of authority to transfer, the General Partner shall cancel the
old certificate, issue a new certificate to the Person entitled thereto and
record the transaction upon its books. The transfer of Partnership Units may be
effectuated only in

                                     - 18 -
<PAGE>

connection with a transfer of a Limited Partnership Interest pursuant to the
terms of Section 8.6 or Article 11 hereof. The General Partner may issue a new
certificate or certificates in place of any certificate or certificates
previously issued, which previously-issued certificate or certificates are
alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit
of that fact by the owner claiming the certificate or certificates to be lost,
stolen or destroyed. When issuing such new certificate or certificates, the
General Partner may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the
issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed
certificate or certificates, or its legal representative, to give the
Partnership a bond in such sum as the General Partner may direct as indemnity
against any claim that may be made against the Partnership with respect to the
certificate or certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

         Section 4.2       Additional Funding

                  A.       If the General Partner determines that it is in the
best interests of the Partnership to provide for additional Partnership funds
("Additional Funds") for any Partnership purpose in excess of any other funds
determined by the General Partner to be available to the Partnership, the
General Partner (i) may cause the Partnership to obtain such funds from outside
borrowings, (ii) may cause the Partnership to obtain such funds by the admission
of Additional Limited Partners pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof, or (iii) may
elect to have Crescent Equities provide such Additional Funds to the
Partnership. On any date that Crescent Equities provides Additional Funds to the
Partnership (the "Funding Date"):

                  (1)      to the extent the General Partner elects to borrow
                           all or any portion of the Additional Funds through a
                           Funding Loan, the General Partner shall cause
                           Crescent Equities to lend (the "Crescent Loan") to
                           the Partnership the Funding Loan Proceeds on
                           comparable terms and conditions, including interest
                           rate, repayment schedule and costs and expenses, as
                           shall be applicable with respect to or incurred in
                           connection with the Funding Loan; or

                  (2)      to the extent the General Partner does not elect to
                           borrow all or any portion of the Additional Funds by
                           entering into a Funding Loan, the General Partner
                           shall cause Crescent Equities to contribute to the
                           Partnership as an additional Capital Contribution the
                           amount of the Additional Funds not loaned to the
                           Partnership as a Crescent Loan (the "Contributed
                           Funds") (hereinafter, each Funding Date on which
                           Crescent Equities so contributes Contributed Funds
                           pursuant to this subparagraph (2) is referred to as
                           an "Adjustment Date"). The Crescent Group may raise
                           such Contributed Funds through a private placement or
                           public offering of REIT Shares or otherwise. The
                           Partnership shall assume or pay the expenses,
                           including any applicable underwriting discounts
                           incurred by the Crescent Group in connection with
                           raising such Contributed Funds through a private
                           placement or public offering of its securities or
                           otherwise (i.e., Crescent Equities shall be treated
                           as contributing to the Partnership as Contributed
                           Funds the gross amount of funds raised, and the
                           Partnership shall be charged with the cost of raising
                           such funds, with

                                     - 19 -
<PAGE>

                           such cost allocated to all of the Partners in
                           accordance with Article VI of the Agreement).

                  B.       Effective on each Adjustment Date, Crescent Equities
shall receive an additional Partnership Interest (and the Partnership Interest
of each Limited Partner other than Crescent Equities shall be reduced) such
that:

                           (1)      the Partnership Interest of each Limited
Partner not owning Partnership Units (other than Crescent Equities) shall be
equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the Deemed Partnership
Interest Value of such Limited Partner (computed as of the Business Day
immediately preceding the Adjustment Date) and the denominator of which is equal
to the sum of (i) the Deemed Value of the Partnership (computed as of the
Business Day immediately preceding the Adjustment Date) and (ii) the amount of
Contributed Funds contributed by Crescent Equities on such Adjustment Date;

                           (2)      the combined Partnership Interest of
Crescent Equities and the General Partner shall be equal to a fraction, the
numerator of which is equal to the sum of (i) the combined Deemed Partnership
Interest Value of Crescent Equities and the General Partner (computed as of the
Business Day immediately preceding the Adjustment Date) and (ii) the amount of
the Contributed Funds contributed by Crescent Equities on such Adjustment Date
and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (x) the Deemed Value of the
Partnership (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the
Adjustment Date) and (y) the amount of the Contributed Funds contributed by
Crescent Equities on such Adjustment Date. The Partnership Interest of the
General Partner shall remain one percent (1%), and the Partnership Interest of
Crescent Equities shall be equal to the combined Partnership Interest determined
in clause (2) of the preceding sentence, reduced by one percentage point (1%);
and

                           (3)      the Partnership Interest of each Limited
Partner owning Partnership Units shall be equal to the product of the following:
(i) the difference obtained from subtracting (x) the sum of the combined
Partnership Interest of Crescent Equities and the General Partner as calculated
in Section 4.2.B(2) hereof, plus the aggregate Non-Unitholder Partnership
Interests as calculated in Section 4.2.B(1) hereof, from (y) one hundred percent
(100%), and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of
Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner on such Adjustment Date, and the
denominator of which is equal to the total number of Partnership Units held by
all Limited Partners on such Adjustment Date.

         The General Partner shall be authorized on behalf of each of the
Partners to amend this Agreement to reflect the increase in the Partnership
Interest of Crescent Equities and the corresponding reduction of the Partnership
Interests of the other Limited Partners in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 4.2. The number of Partnership Units owned by the Limited Partners
and Assignees shall not be decreased in connection with any additional
contribution of funds to the Partnership by Crescent Equities pursuant to this
Section 4.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, for purposes of calculating the "Deemed Value of the Partnership" and
the "Deemed Partnership Interest Value" under this Section 4.2.B with respect to
cash amounts raised by Crescent in a private placement or public offering of
REIT Shares and contributed to the Partnership as Contributed Funds, the Value"
of a REIT Share shall be the gross offering price (prior to deduction of any
expenses, including without

                                     - 20 -

limitation selling commissions or underwriting discounts) per REIT Share sold in
the private placement or public offering.

                  C.       The Partners hereby acknowledge and agree that any
Additional Funds provided by the Crescent Group (through Crescent Equities) to
the Partnership pursuant to this Section 4.2 may be in the form of real property
or an interest therein rather than cash. In the event that real property or an
interest therein is contributed by Crescent Equities to the Partnership pursuant
to this Section 4.2:

Person (the "Additional Limited Partner") in exchange for the contribution by
such Person of cash and/or property in such amounts as is determined appropriate
by the General Partner to further the purposes of the Partnership under Section

Partnership pursuant to this Section 4.3:

                  (1)      if the Additional Limited Partner does not receive
                           any Partnership Units in connection with the receipt
                           of his or its Partnership Interest, the Partnership
                           Interest of such Additional Limited Partner shall be
                           equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is equal

                           be reduced, as of the Contribution Date, such that
                           the combined Partnership Interest of Crescent

                           of each such Limited Partner shall be equal to a
                           fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the

         The General Partner shall be authorized on behalf of each of the
Partners to amend this Agreement to reflect the admission of any Additional
Limited Partner and any reduction of the Partnership Interests of the other
Limited Partners in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.3.

         The number of Partnership Units owned by the Limited Partners and
Assignees shall not be decreased in connection with any admission of an
Additional Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 4.3. The General Partner may
(but is not required to) grant to an Additional Limited Partner Partnership
Units, which Partnership Units shall enable the Additional Limited Partner to
participate in the Exchange Rights, upon such terms and conditions as are deemed
appropriate by the General Partner. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, if the value of the Partnership Units granted to an
Additional Limited Partner is determined based on the average of the "closing
price" of a REIT Share for a period of time other than the ten (10)-day period
specified in the Article I definition of "Value" (including, without limitation,
a determination based on the "closing price" of a REIT Share for the Trading Day
immediately preceding the admission of such Additional Limited Partner), then
such other time period shall be used in calculating the "Value" of a REIT Share
for purposes of calculating the "Deemed Value of the Partnership" and the
"Deemed Partnership Interest Value" under this Section 4.3 with respect to the
admission of such Additional Limited Partner.

         Section 4.4       No Preemptive Rights

         Except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.2.A, no Person shall have

         Section 4.5       No Interest on Capital

         No Partner shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution or
its Capital Account.

         Section 4.6       Stock Incentive Plans

                  A.       Grants of REIT Shares. If grants of REIT Shares are
made in connection with a Stock Incentive Plan,

                           (1)      Crescent Equities shall, as soon as
practicable after such grant, contribute to the capital of the Partnership an
amount equal to the price (if any) paid to Crescent Equities by the party
receiving the grant of REIT Shares;

                           (2)      Crescent Equities shall, as of the date on
which the grant of REIT Shares is made, be deemed to have contributed to the
Partnership as Contributed Funds pursuant to Section 4.2.A(2) hereof an amount
equal to the fair market value (computed using the "closing price" (as such term
is defined in the definition of the term "Value" in Article I hereof) as of the
date on which the grant of REIT Shares is made) of the REIT Shares delivered by
Crescent Equities to such party; and

                           (3)      the General Partner's Partnership Interest
shall remain unchanged, and the Partnership Interests of Crescent Equities and
the other Limited Partners shall be

                                     - 23 -
<PAGE>

adjusted as set forth in Section 4.2, based on the amount deemed to be
contributed, determined pursuant to Section 4.6.A(2); provided that, for
purposes of calculating the "Deemed Value of the Partnership" and the "Deemed
Partnership Interest Value" under Section 4.2, the "Value" of a REIT Share shall
be the "closing price" (as such term is defined in the definition of the term
Value" in Article I hereof) of a REIT Share as of the date on which the grant of
REIT Shares is made.

                  B.       Exercise of Stock Options. If stock options granted
in connection with a Stock Incentive Plan are exercised:

                           (1)      Crescent Equities shall, as soon as
practicable after such exercise, contribute to the capital of the Partnership an
amount equal to the exercise price paid to Crescent Equities by the exercising
party;

                           (2)      Crescent Equities shall, as of the date on
which the purchase of the REIT Shares is consummated by such exercising party,
be deemed to have contributed to the Partnership as Contributed Funds pursuant
to Section 4.2.A(2) hereof an amount equal to the fair market value (computed
using the "closing price" (as such term is defined in the definition of "Value"
in Article I hereof) as of the date on which such purchase of REIT Shares is
consummated by such exercising party) of the REIT Shares delivered by Crescent
Equities to such exercising party; and

                           (3)      the General Partner's Partnership Interest
shall remain unchanged, and the Partnership Interests of Crescent Equities and
the other Limited Partners shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 4.2, based
on the amount deemed to be contributed, determined pursuant to Section 4.6.B(2);
provided that, for purposes of calculating the "Deemed Value of the Partnership"
and the "Deemed Partnership Interest Value" under Section 4.2, the "Value" of a
REIT Share shall be the "closing price" (as such term is defined in the
definition of the term "Value" in Article I hereof) of a REIT Share as of the
date on which the purchase of REIT Shares is consummated by the exercising
party.

         Section 4.7       Other Equity Compensation Plans

                  A.       The Partnership may adopt a compensation plan for its
employees, agents or consultants pursuant to which the Partnership may grant
Limited Partnership Interests (including Partnership Units, which Partnership
Units shall enable the Limited Partner to participate in the Exchange Rights),
or options to acquire Limited Partnership Interests (including Partnership
Units, which Partnership Units shall enable the Limited Partner to participate
in the Exchange Rights), to one or more of its employees, agents or consultants
upon such terns and conditions as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the
General Partner.

                  B.       The Management Company may adopt a compensation plan

Exchange Rights), or options to acquire Limited Partnership Interests (including
Partnership Units, which Partnership Units shall enable the Limited Partner to

consultants. The Partnership may sell Limited Partnership Interests (including
Partnership Units, which Partnership Units shall enable the Limited Partner to
participate in the Exchange Rights) to the Management Company for delivery to
its employees, agents or consultants. The price at which the Partnership shall
sell such Partnership Interests to the Management Company shall be the fair
market value of such Partnership Interests, as determined by the General Partner
in its reasonable discretion.

                  C.       Upon any admission of an employee, agent or
consultant of the Partnership or the Management Company as an additional Limited
Partner (an "Employee Limited Partner") pursuant to Section 4.7.A or 4.7.B
above, the Partnership Interests of the other Partners shall be diluted, on a
pro rata basis, in proportion to their respective Partnership Interests, to
reflect the admission of the Employee Limited Partner. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Partnership Interest of the General Partner shall not be diluted
upon the admission of the Employee Limited Partner; any dilution that would
otherwise occur with respect to the Partnership Interest of the General Partner
in accordance with the terms of the preceding sentence shall be allocated
instead to Crescent Equities. The number of Partnership Units owned by the
Limited Partners and Assignees shall not be decreased in connection with any
admission of an Employee Limited Partner.

                  D.       In addition to the compensation plans described in
Sections 4.6, 4.7.A and 4.7.B hereof, the General Partner, in its sole and
absolute discretion and without the approval of the Limited Partners, may
propose and adopt on behalf of the Partnership employee benefit plans or other

Shares or options to purchase REIT Shares, plans granting Partnership Interests
(including Partnership Units) or options to purchase Partnership Interests
(including Partnership Units), "phantom" equity plans or other plans in which

of the foregoing in respect of services performed, directly or indirectly, for
the benefit of the Crescent Group, the Partnership, the Management Company or

                           date on which the grant of the Partnership Units is
                           made, be deemed to have contributed to the
                           Partnership pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof an amount
                           equal to the fair market value of the Partnership
                           Units delivered to such Employee Limited Partner
                           (computed by calculating the product of the following
                           three items: (i) the number of Partnership Units
                           delivered to such Employee Limited Partner,

                           to such Employee Limited Partner (computed by
                           calculating the product of the following three items:
                           (i) the number of Partnership Units delivered to such

                           term "Value" in Article I hereof) of a REIT Share as
                           of the date on which the option to purchase
                           Partnership Units is exercised.

         Section 4.8       Series A Preferred Partnership Units and Series B

Preferred Partnership Units to Crescent Equities. Crescent Equities shall have a
zero percentage Partnership Interest with respect to such Series A Preferred
Partnership Units and shall have no voting rights other than the right to vote

Series A Preferred Partnership Units into a general partner's

                                     - 26 -

interest, (ii) modify the limited liability of Crescent Equities with respect to
the Series A Preferred Partnership Units, or (iii) alter the distribution,
redemption, conversion or liquidation rights of the Series A Preferred
Partnership Units. The distribution rights of the Series A Preferred Partnership
Units are set forth in Section 5.6 below, the tax allocations with respect to
the Series A Preferred Partnership Units are set forth in Section 6.3 below, and
the redemption and conversion rights of the Series A Preferred Partnership Units
are set forth in Sections 4.8.C and D below.

Pursuant to Section 8.7.C of the Second Amended Agreement, effective on May 17,
2002, the issuance date of the Series B Redeemable Preferred Shares by Crescent
Equities, the Partnership issued 3,000,000 Series B Redeemable Preferred
Partnership Units to Crescent Equities. Crescent Equities shall have a zero
percentage Partnership Interest with respect to such Series B Redeemable
Preferred Partnership Units and shall have no voting rights other than the right
to vote on any amendment to this Agreement if such amendment would (i) convert
the Series B Redeemable Preferred Partnership Units into a general partner's
interest, (ii) modify the limited liability of Crescent Equities with respect to
the Series B Redeemable Preferred Partnership Units, or (iii) alter the
distribution, redemption, conversion or liquidation rights of the Series B

Redeemable Preferred Partnership Units are set forth in Section 5.6 below, the
tax allocations with respect to the Series B Redeemable Preferred Partnership
Units are set forth in Section 6.3 below, and the redemption rights of the
Series B Redeemable Preferred Partnership Units are set forth in Section 4.8.C
below.

                  C.       Redemption Rights. In the event that Crescent
Equities exercises its redemption right with respect to the Series A Preferred
Shares, the Partnership shall concurrently redeem a corresponding amount of
Series A Preferred Partnership Units at the same redemption price paid by
Crescent Equities for the Series A Preferred Shares (i.e., a redemption price of
$25 per Series A Preferred Share, plus any accrued, unpaid quarterly
distribution thereon). In the event that Crescent Equities exercises its
redemption right with respect to the Series B Redeemable Preferred Shares, the
Partnership shall concurrently redeem a corresponding amount of Series B
Redeemable Preferred Partnership Units at the same redemption price paid by
Crescent Equities for the Series B Redeemable Preferred Shares (i.e., a
redemption price of $25 per Series B Redeemable Preferred Share, plus any
accrued, unpaid quarterly distribution thereon).

                  D.       Conversion Rights. Upon exercise of any conversion
right with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares, (i) Crescent Equities
shall, as of the date on which the conversion is consummated, be deemed to have
contributed to the Partnership as Contributed Funds pursuant to Section 4.2.A(2)
of the Agreement an amount equal to the Value (computed as of the Business Day
immediately preceding the date on which such conversion is consummated) of the
REIT Shares delivered by Crescent Equities to such holder of Series A Preferred
Shares, (ii) the Partnership Interests of Crescent Equities and the other
Limited Partners shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 4.2 of the Agreement,
and (iii) a corresponding portion of Series A Preferred Partnership Units shall
be retired. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Crescent Equities
pays cash to the holder of Series A Preferred Shares in lieu of fractional
shares upon conversion of such Series A Preferred Shares to REIT Shares, such
cash payment shall be treated

                                     - 27 -
<PAGE>

as a redemption of the corresponding portion of the Series A Preferred Shares
and the Partnership shall concurrently redeem a corresponding amount of Series A
Preferred Partnership Units at the same redemption price paid by Crescent
Equities for the Series A Preferred Shares.

                                  DISTRIBUTIONS

         Section 5.1       Initial Partnership Distributions

         Upon execution of the First Amended and Restated Agreement, the
Partnership made (i) a distribution of one million five hundred thousand dollars
($1,500,000) to RainAm Investors, and (ii) a distribution in an amount equal to
the Amstar Required Cash Payment to Amstar. In addition, the Partnership
returned to the General Partner, CRE Limited Partner, Inc. and Gerald W. Haddock
the initial capital contributions of one dollar ($l), seventy-four dollars ($74)
and twenty-five dollars ($25),respectively, previously made by such Persons to
the Partnership.

         Section 5.2       Requirement and Characterization of Distributions

         Subject to Section 5.6 below, the General Partner shall cause the
Partnership to distribute quarterly all, or such portion deemed appropriate by
the General Partner, of Available Cash generated by the Partnership during such
quarter to the Partners who are Partners on the Partnership Record Date with
respect to such quarter in accordance with their respective Partnership
Interests on such Partnership Record Date. The General Partner shall take such
reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion and
consistent with the qualification of Crescent Equities as a REIT, to distribute
Available Cash to the Limited Partners so as to preclude any such distribution
or portion thereof from being treated as part of a sale of property to the
Partnership by a Limited Partner under Section 707 of the Code or the
Regulations thereunder; provided that the General Partner and the Partnership
shall not have any liability to a Limited Partner under any circumstances as a
result of any distribution to a Limited Partner being so treated.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall use its best efforts to
cause the Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to enable Crescent
Equities to pay shareholder dividends that will (i) allow Crescent Equities to
achieve and maintain qualification as a REIT, and (ii) avoid the imposition of
any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code.

         Section 5.3       Amounts Withheld

         All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any
state or local tax law and Section 10.5 hereof with respect to any allocation,
payment or distribution to a Partner shall be treated as amounts distributed to
such Partner pursuant to Section 5.2 for all purposes under this Agreement.

         Section 5.4       Distributions In Kind

         Pursuant to Section 17-605 of the Act, the General Partner has the
authority to make in-kind distributions of assets to the Partners. Any such
distributions in kind shall be distributed among the Partners in the same manner
as set forth in Section 5.2 with respect to Available Cash (provided that
distributions in kind made after commencement of the liquidation of the

                                     - 28 -
<PAGE>

Partnership shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section
13.2). The General Partner shall determine the fair market value of any assets
distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

         Section 5.5       Distributions Upon Liquidation

         Proceeds from a Terminating Capital Transaction and any other cash
received or reductions in reserves made after commencement of the liquidation of
the Partnership shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section
13.2.

         Section 5.6       Distribution Rights of Series A Preferred Shares and
                           Series B Redeemable Preferred Shares

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.2
above, and prior to any distributions of Available Cash under such provision, on
any date on which Crescent Equities is required to make a distribution of
accrued, unpaid quarterly distributions to the holders of Series A Preferred
Shares or the holders of Series B Redeemable Preferred Shares, the General
Partner shall cause distributions of Available Cash to be made in cash to
Crescent Equities (i) with respect to the Series A Preferred Partnership Units,
in an amount equal to the amount that is required to be distributed by Crescent
Equities on that date to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares, and (ii) with
respect to the Series B Redeemable Preferred Partnership Units, in an amount
equal to the amount that is required to be distributed by Crescent Equities on
that date to the holders of Series B Redeemable Preferred Shares.

                                   ALLOCATIONS

         Section 6.1       Allocations For Capital Account Purposes

         For purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts and in determining the
rights of the Partners among themselves, the Partnership's items of income,
gain, loss and deduction (computed in accordance with Exhibit B hereof) shall be
allocated among the Partners in each taxable year (or portion thereof) as
provided herein below.

                  A.       Net Income. After giving effect to the special
allocations set forth in Section 1 of Exhibit C and the allocations set forth in
Section 6.3 below, Net Income shall be allocated (i) first, to the General
Partner to the extent that Net Losses previously allocated to the General
Partner pursuant to the last sentence of Section 6.1.B exceed Net Income
previously allocated to the General Partner pursuant to this clause (i) of
Section 6.1.A, and (ii) thereafter, Net Income shall be allocated to the
Partners in accordance with their respective Partnership Interests.

                  B.       Net Losses. After giving effect to the special
allocations set forth in Section 1 of Exhibit C and the allocations set forth in
Section 6.3 below, Net Losses shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance
with their respective Partnership Interests, provided that Net Losses shall not
be allocated to any Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 6.1.B to the extent
that such allocation would cause such Limited Partner to have an Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit at the end of such taxable year (or increase any
existing Adjusted Capital

                                     - 29 -
<PAGE>

Account Deficit). All Net Losses in excess of the limitations set forth in this
Section 6.1.B shall be allocated to the General Partner.

                  C.       Allocations to Reflect Issuance of New Interests. In
the event that the Partnership issues New Interests to Crescent Equities
pursuant to Section 8.7.C, the General Partner shall make such revisions to
Sections 6.1.A and B above as it determines are necessary to reflect the
issuance of such New Interests.

         Section 6.2       Allocation of Nonrecourse Debt

         For purposes of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a), the Partners agree that
Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership in excess of the sum of (i) the
amount of Partnership Minimum Gain and (ii) the total amount of Nonrecourse
Built-in Gain shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with their
respective Partnership Interests.

         Section 6.3       Allocations for Series A Preferred Partnership Units
                           and Series B Redeemable Preferred Partnership Units

         Notwithstanding Sections 6.1.A and B above, after giving effect to the
special allocations set forth in Section 1 of Exhibit C to this Agreement:

                  A.       Each year, gross income of the Partnership shall be
allocated first to Crescent Equities until the cumulative amount allocated under
this Section 6.3.A to Crescent Equities for the current year and all prior years
is equal to the cumulative amount for the current year and all prior years of
the sum of (A) the distributions made to Crescent Equities under Section 5.6 of
this Agreement, (B) the portion of the distributions made to Crescent Equities
under Section 4.8.C of this Agreement (if any) that exceeds $25 per Series A
Preferred Partnership Unit and (C) the portion of the distributions made to
Crescent Equities under paragraph Section 4.8.C of this Agreement (if any) that
exceeds $25 per Series B Redeemable Preferred Partnership Unit. Any remaining
Net Profits or Net Losses (other than gain or loss from a sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, which
shall be allocated as set forth in Sections 6.3.B and C below) shall be
allocated as set forth in Sections 6.1.A and B above.

                  B.       The gain of the Partnership from a sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership shall
be allocated among the Partners as follows: (A) first, to Crescent Equities in
the amount necessary to cause its Capital Account balance to be equal to the
liquidation preferences payable by Crescent Equities on the outstanding Series A
Preferred Shares and Series B Redeemable Preferred Shares (the "Liquidation
Preferences") (i.e., a liquidation payment of $25 per Series A Preferred Share,
plus any accrued, unpaid quarterly distribution thereon, and a liquidation
payment of $25 per Series B Redeemable Preferred Share, plus any accrued, unpaid
quarterly distribution thereon, subject to reduction on a pro rata basis (as
more fully set forth in the respective Statements of Designation for the Series
A Preferred Shares and the Series B Redeemable Preferred Shares) to the extent
that there are insufficient funds to pay the aforementioned liquidation
preferences in full), (B) second, to the Partners in the amounts necessary, and
in the ratio of such amounts, to cause the Capital Account balance of Crescent
Equities in excess of the Liquidation Preferences and the Capital Account of
each other

                                     - 30 -
<PAGE>

Partner to be in the same ratio as their respective Partnership Interests, and
(iii) thereafter, to all of the Partners in proportion to their respective
Partnership Interests.

                  C.       The loss of the Partnership from a sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership shall
be allocated among the Partners as follows: (A) first, to the Partners, if any,
having positive Capital Account balances, in the amounts necessary, and in the
ratio of such amounts, so as to cause the positive Capital Account Balance of
Crescent Equities to equal the Liquidation Preferences and the positive Capital
Account balance of each other Partner to equal zero (or, if there is
insufficient loss to accomplish this result, loss shall be allocated in a manner
so as to cause the positive Capital Account balance of Crescent Equities in
excess of the Liquidation Preference and the positive Capital Account balance of
each other Partner to be in the same ratio as their respective Partnership
Interests), (B) second, to Crescent Equities, until its positive Capital Account
balance equals zero, and (C) thereafter, to the Partners in proportion to their
respective Partnership Interests.

                  (5)      acquire and enter into any contract of insurance
                           which the General Partner deems necessary or
                           appropriate for the protection of the Partnership and
                           the Partners, for the conservation of the
                           Partnership's assets or for any purpose convenient or
                           beneficial to the Partnership;

                  (6)      conduct any and all banking transactions on behalf of
                           the Partnership; adjust and settle checking, savings,
                           and other accounts with such institutions as the
                           General Partner shall deem appropriate; draw, sign,
                           execute, accept, endorse, guarantee, deliver, receive
                           and pay any checks, drafts, bills of exchange,
                           acceptances, notes, obligations, undertakings and
                           other instruments for or relating to the payment of
                           money in, into, or from any account in the
                           Partnership's name; execute, procure, consent to and
                           authorize extensions and renewals of the same; and
                           make deposits and withdraw the same and negotiate or
                           discount commercial paper, acceptances, negotiable
                           instruments, bills of exchange and dollar drafts;

                  (7)      demand, sue for, receive, and otherwise take steps to
                           collect or recover all debts, rents, proceeds,
                           interests, dividends, goods, chattels, income from
                           property, damages and all other property, to which
                           the Partnership may be entitled or which are or may
                           become due the Partnership from any Person; commence,
                           prosecute or enforce, or defend, answer or oppose,
                           contest and abandon all legal proceedings in which
                           the Partnership is or may hereafter be interested;
                           settle, compromise or submit to arbitration any
                           accounts, debts, claims, disputes and matters which
                           may arise between the Partnership and any other
                           Person and grant an extension of time for the payment
                           or satisfaction thereof on any terms, with or without
                           security; and indemnify any Indemnitees against
                           liabilities and contingencies in accordance with the
                           provisions of Section 7.7 of this Agreement or
                           otherwise;

                  (8)      take all reasonable measures necessary to insure
                           compliance by the Partnership with applicable laws,
                           and other contractual obligations and arrangements
                           entered into by the Partnership from time to time in
                           accordance with the provisions of this Agreement,
                           including periodic reports as required to lenders;
                           and use all due diligence to insure that the
                           Partnership is in compliance with its contractual
                           obligations;

                  (9)      form, acquire a debt or equity ownership interest in,
                           and contribute or loan property to, any further
                           corporations, limited or general partnerships, joint
                           ventures, real estate investment trusts, or other
                           entities upon such terms and conditions as General
                           Partner deems appropriate;

                  (10)     invest assets of the Partnership on a temporary basis
                           in commercial paper, government securities, checking
                           or savings accounts, money market funds,

                           or any other highly liquid investments deemed
                           appropriate by the General Partner; make loans,
                           including participating or convertible loans, to
                           other Persons (including, without limitation, the
                           Subsidiary Development Corporation(s) and the
                           Management Company) upon such terms and conditions,
                           and for such security, as deemed appropriate by the
                           General Partner; repay obligations of any Person in
                           which the Partnership has an equity investment
                           (including, without limitation, the Subsidiary
                           Development Corporation(s) and the Management
                           Company); and purchase existing debt obligations held
                           by other Persons, including participating or
                           convertible debt obligations, upon such terms and
                           conditions, and for such security, as deemed
                           appropriate by the General Partner;

                  (11)     negotiate, execute and perform any contracts,
                           conveyance or other instruments that the General
                           Partner considers useful or necessary to the conduct
                           of the Partnership's operations or the implementation
                           of the General Partner's powers under this Agreement;

                  (12)     distribute Partnership cash or other assets in
                           accordance with this Agreement;

                  (13)     maintain the Partnership's books and records;

                  (14)     prepare and deliver all financial, regulatory, tax
                           and other filings or reports to governmental or other
                           agencies having jurisdiction over the Partnership;
                           and

                  (15)     take any action in connection with the Partnership's
                           direct or indirect investment in any other Person.

                  B.       Each of the Limited Partners agrees that the General
Partner is authorized to execute, deliver and perform the above-mentioned
agreements and transactions on behalf of the Partnership without any further
act, approval or vote of the Partners, notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Agreement (except as provided in Section 7.3), the Act or any applicable
law, rule or regulation. The execution, delivery or performance by the General
Partner or the Partnership of any agreement authorized or permitted under this
Agreement shall not constitute a breach by the General Partner of any duty that
the General Partner may owe the Partnership or the Limited Partners or any other
Persons under this Agreement or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity.

                  C.       At all times from and after the date hereof, the
General Partner may cause the Partnership to obtain and maintain (i) casualty,
liability and other insurance on the properties of the Partnership and (ii)
liability insurance for the Indemnitees hereunder.

                  D.       At all times from and after the date hereof, the
General Partner may cause the Partnership to establish and maintain working
capital reserves in such amounts as the General Partner, in its sole and
absolute discretion, deems appropriate and reasonable from time to time.

                                     - 34 -

                  E.       In exercising its authority under this Agreement, the
General Partner may, but shall be under no obligation to, take into account the
tax consequences to any Partner of any action taken by it. The General Partner
and the Partnership shall not have liability to a Limited Partner under any
circumstances as a result of an income tax liability incurred by such Limited
Partner as a result of an action (or inaction) by the General Partner pursuant
to its authority under this Agreement.

         Section 7.2       Certificate of Limited Partnership

         To the extent that such action is determined by the General Partner to
be necessary or appropriate, the General Partner shall file amendments to and
restatements of the Certificate and do all things necessary or appropriate to
maintain the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the
limited partners have limited liability) under the laws of the State of Delaware
and each other jurisdiction in which the Partnership may elect to do business or
own property. Subject to the terms of Section 8.5.A(3) hereof, the General
Partner shall not be required, before or after filing, to deliver or mail a copy
of the Certificate or any amendment thereto to any Limited Partner. The General
Partner shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be filed such other
certificates or documents as may be reasonable and necessary or appropriate for
the continuation, qualification and operation of a limited partnership (or a
partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) in the State
of Delaware and any other jurisdiction in which the Partnership may elect to do
business or own property.

         Section 7.3       Restrictions on General Partner's Authority

         The General Partner shall not have the authority to:

                  A.       take any action in contravention of this Agreement or
which would make it impossible to carry on the ordinary business of the
Partnership;

                  B.       possess Partnership property, or assign any rights in
specific Partnership property, for other than a Partnership purpose;

                  C.       do any act in contravention of applicable law; or

                  D.       perform any act that would subject a Limited Partner
to liability as a general partner in any jurisdiction or any other liability
except as provided herein or under the Act.

         Section 7.4       Reimbursement of the Crescent Group

                  A.       Except as provided in this Section 7.4 and elsewhere
in this Agreement (including the provisions of Articles 5 and 6 regarding
distributions, payments, and allocations to which it may be entitled), the
General Partner shall not be compensated for its services as general partner of
the Partnership.

                  B.       The Crescent Group shall be reimbursed on a monthly
basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may determine in its sole and
absolute discretion, for all expenses the Crescent Group incurs relating to the
ownership and operation of, or for the benefit of, the

                                     - 35 -
<PAGE>

Partnership, provided that the amount of any such reimbursement shall be reduced
by any income received by the Crescent Group with respect to bank accounts or
other assets held by it as permitted in Section 7.5. The Limited Partners
acknowledge that the Crescent Group's sole business is the ownership of
interests in and operation of the Partnership, and that all of the Crescent
Group's operating expenses (including, without limitation, costs and expenses
relating to the formation and continuity of existence of the Crescent Group,
costs and expenses associated with compliance with the periodic reporting
requirements and all other rules and regulations of the SEC or any other
federal, state or local regulatory body, salaries payable to officers and
employees of the Crescent Group, fees and expenses payable to directors of the
Crescent Group, costs and expenses relating to the bank accounts or other assets
held by the Crescent Group as permitted in Section 7.5 and all other operating,
debt service or administrative costs of the Crescent Group) are incurred for the
benefit of the Partnership and shall be reimbursed by the Partnership. Such
reimbursements shall be in addition to any reimbursement to the Crescent Group
as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof. If and to the
extent any reimbursements to the Crescent Group are determined for federal
income tax purposes not to constitute payment of expenses of the Partnership,
the amounts so determined 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.

         Section 7.5       Outside Activities of the Crescent Group

         The Crescent Group shall not directly or indirectly enter into or
conduct any business, other than in connection with the ownership, acquisition
and disposition of Partnership Interests and the management of the business of
the Partnership, and such activities as are incidental thereto. The Crescent
Group shall not own any assets other than Partnership Interests in the
Partnership, and such bank accounts or similar instruments as it deems necessary
to carry out its responsibilities contemplated under this Agreement and the
Declaration of Trust. The Crescent Group shall not borrow funds for the purpose
of making distributions to the shareholders of any member of the Crescent Group
unless such borrowing is effectuated through the Partnership. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 7.5, (1) Crescent
Equities may form additional direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary entities
to serve as general partners of partnerships or managing members of limited
liability companies in which the Partnership also owns a direct or indirect
ownership interest, provided that (i) the General Partner determines that the
formation of the subsidiary entities is necessary or appropriate to further the
business objectives of the Partnership and (ii) the subsidiary entities (a) make
capital contributions in exchange for their ownership interests in the
partnerships and limited liability companies on a pro rata basis with the
Partnership and (b) do not own more than one percent (1%) of the total ownership
interests in any such partnership or limited liability company, and (2) the
Crescent Group may own such other assets as the General Partner determines are
necessary and appropriate to further the business interests of the Partnership,
upon such terms and conditions as the General Partner determines are necessary
and appropriate to protect the interests of the Partnership.

         Section 7.6       Contracts with Affiliates

                  A.       The Partnership may contribute assets and loan funds
to joint ventures, other partnerships, corporations or other business entities
in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to
such conditions consistent with this Agreement and applicable law as the General
Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems advisable. The foregoing
authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any such other
business entities.

                  B.       Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, no
Partner or Affiliate of a Partner shall sell, transfer or convey any property
to, purchase any property from, lend or borrow funds, provide services to, or
enter into any other transaction with the Partnership, directly or indirectly,
except pursuant to transactions that are on terms that are fair and reasonable
and no less favorable to the Partnership than could be obtained from an
unaffiliated third party.

                  C.       The General Partner is expressly authorized to enter
into, in the name and on behalf of the Partnership, noncompetition agreements
and other conflict avoidance agreements for its benefit with various Affiliates
of the Partnership and its Partners, on such terms as the General Partner, in
its sole and absolute discretion, believes are advisable.

         Section 7.7       Indemnification

                  A.       The Partnership shall indemnify each Indemnitee from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several,
expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and other legal fees
and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts arising from any
and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, that relate to the operations of the
Partnership as set forth in this Agreement in which such Indemnitee may be
involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, unless it is
established that: (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the
matter giving rise to the proceedings and either was committed in bad faith or
was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) the Indemnitee actually
received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii)
in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to
believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Without limitation, the foregoing
indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan
guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Partnership or any subsidiary
entity (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Partnership or
any subsidiary entity 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
7.7 in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any
such indebtedness. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or
settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the
requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 7.7.A. The termination
of any proceeding by conviction of an Indemnitee or upon a plea of nolo
contendre or its equivalent by an Indemnitee, or an entry of an order of
probation against an Indemnitee prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable
presumption that such Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in
this Section 7.7.A with respect to the subject matter of such proceeding.

                                     - 37 -
<PAGE>

                  B.       The right to indemnification conferred in this
Section 7.7 shall be a contract right and shall include the right of each
Indemnitee to be paid by the Partnership the expenses incurred in defending any
such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the
payment of such expenses in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding
shall be made only upon delivery to the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation
of the Indemnitee of his or her good faith belief that the standard of conduct
necessary for indemnification by the Partnership pursuant to this Section 7.7
has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee
to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the
standard of conduct has not been met.

                  C.       The indemnification provided pursuant to this Section
7.7 shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to have the status of an
Indemnitee pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of "Indemnitee" set forth in
Article I hereof and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors,
assigns, executors and administrators of any such Person, or to a Person whose
status as an lndemnitee was originally established pursuant to clause (ii) of
such definition and was later terminated for any reason other than the
affirmative decision of the General Partner to terminate such status; provided,
however, that except as provided in Section 7.7.D with respect to proceedings
seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the Partnership shall indemnify
any such Person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part
thereof) initiated by such Person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was
authorized by the General Partner.

                  D.       If a claim under Sections 7.7.A, 7.7.B or 7.7.C is
not paid in full by the Partnership within thirty (30) calendar days after a
written claim has been received by the Partnership, the Indemnitee making such
claim may at any time thereafter (but prior to payment of the claim) bring suit
against the Partnership to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if
successful, in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid
also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such
action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in
defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required
undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the Partnership) that the Indemnitee
has not met the standards of conduct set forth above which make it permissible
for the Partnership to indemnify the Indemnitee for the amount claimed, but the
burden of proving such defense shall be on the Partnership. Neither the failure
of the Partnership to have made a determination prior to the commencement of
such action that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the
circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth herein nor an actual determination by the Partnership that the Indemnitee
has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the
action or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable
standard of conduct.

                  E.       Following any "change in control" of Crescent
Equities of the type required to be reported under Item 1 of Form 8-K
promulgated under the Exchange Act, any determination as to entitlement to
indemnification shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by the
Indemnitee, which such independent legal counsel shall be retained by the
General Partner on behalf of the Partnership and at the expense of the
Partnership.

                  F.       The right to indemnification and the payment of
expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition
conferred in this Section 7.7 shall not

                                     - 38 -
<PAGE>

be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire
under any statute or agreement, or pursuant to any vote of the Partners, or
otherwise.

                  G.       The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance,
at its expense, on its own behalf and on behalf of any Indemnitee and of such
other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability
(including expenses) that may be asserted against and incurred by such Person in
connection with the Partnership's activities pursuant to this Agreement, whether
or not the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against
such liability under the terms of this Agreement. In addition, the Partnership
may, together with Crescent Equities, enter into indemnification agreements with
one or more of the Indemnitees pursuant to which the Partnership and Crescent
Equities shall jointly and severally agree to indemnify such Indemnitee(s) to
the fullest extent permitted by law, and advance to such Indemnitee(s) all
related expenses, subject to reimbursement if it is subsequently determined that
indemnification is not permitted.

                  H.       Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7
shall be made only out of 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 7.7.

                  I.       No Limited Partner shall be liable for the
obligations of the Partnership by reason of the indemnification provisions set
forth in this Agreement.

                  J.       An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in
whole or in part pursuant to this Section 7.7 because such lndemnitee has an
interest in the transaction to which the indemnification relates if the
transaction otherwise was permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

                  K.       The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the
benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns, executors and
administrators, and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of
any other Person. 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 Partnership's liability to any Indemnitee 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.

         Section 7.8       Liability of the General Partner

                  A.       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
this Agreement, the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages to
the Partnership or any Partners for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as
a result of errors in judgment or of any act or omission if the General Partner
acted in good faith.

                  B.       The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the
General Partner is acting on behalf of the Partnership and the shareholders of
Crescent Equities collectively, that the General Partner is under no obligation
to consider the separate interests of the Limited Partners (including, without
limitation, the tax consequences to Limited Partners) in deciding

                                     - 39 -

whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions, and
that the General Partner shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any
Partner for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or
benefits not derived by Limited Partners in connection with such decisions,
provided that the General Partner has acted in good faith.

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

                  D.       Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section
7.8 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way
affect the limitations on the General Partner's liability to the Partnership and
the Limited Partners under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to
such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or
relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment,
modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

         Section 7.9       Other Matters Concerning the General Partner

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

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

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

                  D.       Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
or the Act, any action of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or
any decision of the General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the
Partnership, undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission is
necessary or advisable in order (i) to protect the ability of Crescent Equities
to achieve or maintain qualification as a REIT or (ii) to avoid the incurring by
Crescent Equities of any taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, is
expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the
Limited Partners, to the extent such approval may be necessary.

         Section 7.10      Title to Partnership Assets

         Title to Partnership assets, whether real, personal or mixed and
whether tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Partnership
as an entity, and no Partner, individually or collectively, shall have any
ownership interest in such Partnership assets or any portion thereof. Title to
any or all of the Partnership assets may be held in the name of the Partnership,
the General Partner or one or more nominees, as the General Partner may
determine, including Affiliates of the General Partner. The General Partner
hereby declares and warrants that any Partnership assets for which legal title
is held in the name of the General Partner or any nominee or Affiliate of the
General Partner shall be held by the General Partner for use and benefit of the
Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided,
however, that the General Partner shall use its best efforts to cause beneficial
and record title to such assets to be vested in the Partnership as soon as
reasonably practicable. All Partnership assets shall be recorded as the property
of the Partnership in its books and records, irrespective of the name in which
legal title to such Partnership assets is held.

         Section 7.11      Reliance by Third Parties

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person
dealing with the Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the General
Partner has full power and authority to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any
manner any and all assets of the Partnership and to enter into any contracts on
behalf of the Partnership, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the
General Partner as if it were the Partnership's sole party in interest, both
legally and beneficially. Each Limited Partner hereby waives any and all
defenses or other remedies which may be available against such Person to
contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the General Partner in connection
with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the General
Partner or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this
Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience
of any act or action of the General Partner or its representatives. Each and
every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the
Partnership by the General Partner or its representatives shall be conclusive
evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder
that (i) at the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document
or instrument, this Agreement was in full force and effect, (ii) the Person
executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly
authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Partnership, and
(iii) such certificate, document or instrument was duly executed and delivered
in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding
upon the Partnership.

         Section 7.12      Limited Partner Representatives

         Any Limited Partner may (but shall not be required to) appoint a
representative (the "Representative") who shall have full power and authority to
exercise all rights, including consent rights, of such Limited Partner under
this Agreement. Any such appointment shall be made in a writing delivered by the
Limited Partner to the General Partner. The same Person may serve as
Representative for more than one Limited Partner. Any action taken by a
Representative on behalf of a Limited Partner shall be fully binding on such
Limited Partner. The General Partner shall be entitled to rely on the actions
taken by a Representative without further evidence of its authority or further
action by the Limited Partner who appointed such Representative. Any

                                     - 41 -
<PAGE>

appointment of a Representative shall remain effective until rescinded in a
writing delivered by the Limited Partner to the General Partner. A Limited
Partner may revoke its designation of a Representative, or replace a designated
Representative with a different Representative, at any time by delivering
written notice of such action to the General Partner.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                   RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF LIMITED PARTNERS

         Section 8.1       Limitation of Liability

         The Limited Partners shall have no liability under this Agreement
except as expressly provided in this Agreement, including Section 10.5 hereof,
or under the Act.

         Section 8.2       Management of Business

         No Limited Partner (other than any officer, director, employee,
partner, agent or trustee of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of
their Affiliates, in his, her or its capacity as such) shall take part in the
operation, management or control (within the meaning of the Act) of the
Partnership's business, transact any business in the Partnership's name or have
the power to sign documents for or otherwise bind the Partnership. The
transaction of any such business by the General Partner, any of its Affiliates
or any officer, director, employee, partner, agent or trustee of the General
Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, in their capacity as such,
shall not affect, impair or eliminate the limitations on the liability of the
Limited Partners under this Agreement.

         Section 8.3       Outside Activities of Limited Partners

         Subject to Section 7.5 hereof, and subject to any agreements entered
into pursuant to Section 7.6.C hereof and any other agreements entered into by a
Limited Partner or its Affiliates with the Partnership, any Limited Partner and
any officer, director, employee, agent, trustee, Affiliate or shareholder of any
Limited Partner shall be entitled to and may have business interests and engage
in business activities in addition to those relating to the Partnership,
including business interests and activities in direct competition with the
Partnership. Neither the Partnership nor any Partners shall have any rights by
virtue of this Agreement in any business ventures of any Limited Partner. None
of the Limited Partners nor any other Person shall have the rights by virtue of
this Agreement or the partnership relationship established hereby in any
business ventures of any other Person, other than the Crescent Group, and such
Person shall have no obligation pursuant to this Agreement to offer any interest
in any such business ventures to the Partnership, any Limited Partner or any
such other Person, even if such opportunity is of a character which, if
presented to the Partnership, any Limited Partner or such other Person, could be
taken by such Person.

         Section 8.4       Return of Capital

         Except pursuant to the Exchange Rights set forth in Section 8.6, no
Limited Partner shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of his Capital

Agreement or upon termination of the Partnership as provided herein. No Limited
Partner shall have priority over any other Limited Partner either as to the

                                     - 42 -
<PAGE>

return of Capital Contributions or, except to the extent provided by Exhibit C
hereof or as permitted by Section 8.7.C, or otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, as to profits, losses or distributions.

         Section 8.5       Rights of Limited Partners Relating to the
                           Partnership

                  A.       In addition to other rights provided by this
Agreement or by the Act, and except as limited by Section 8.5.C hereof, each
Limited Partner shall have the right, for a purpose reasonably related to such
Limited Partner's interest as a limited partner in the Partnership, upon written
demand with a statement of the purpose of such demand and at such Limited
Partner's own expense:

                  (1)      to obtain a copy of the Partnership's federal, state
                           and local income tax returns for each fiscal year;

                  (2)      to obtain a current list of the name and last known
                           business, residence or mailing address of each
                           Partner; provided, however, that the General Partner
                           may require, as a condition of providing such list to
                           the Limited Partner, that the Limited Partner confirm
                           in writing to the General Partner that the names of
                           the Partners and other information provided by the
                           list will be held in strictest confidence and no
                           distribution of the list will be made;

                  (3)      to obtain a copy of this Agreement and the
                           Certificate, and all amendments to the Agreement and
                           the Certificate, together with executed copies of all
                           powers of attorney pursuant to which this Agreement,
                           the Certificate and all amendments to the Agreement
                           and the Certificate have been executed; and

                  (4)      to obtain true and full information regarding the
                           amount of cash and a description and statement of any
                           other property or services contributed by each
                           Partner and which each Partner has agreed to
                           contribute in the future, and the date on which each
                           became a Partner.

                  B.       The Partnership shall notify each Limited Partner in
writing of any change made to the Exchange Factor. Such written notification
shall be included with the quarterly financial statements that are sent to each
Limited Partner pursuant to Section 9.3 hereof.

                  C.       Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
8.5, the General Partner may keep confidential from the Limited Partners, for
such period of time as the General Partner determines in its sole and absolute
discretion to be reasonable, any information that (i) the General Partner
believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information the
disclosure of which the General Partner in good faith believes is not in the
best interests of the Partnership, or (ii) the Partnership is required by law or
by agreements with unaffiliated third parties to keep confidential.

         Section 8.6       Exchange Rights

                  A.       Subject to the limitations set forth herein, in
Section 8.6.B below and in Exhibit A, each Limited Partner or Assignee owning
Partnership Units shall have the right (the "Exchange Right") to require
Crescent Equities to exchange on any Specified Exchange Date all or any portion
of the Partnership Units owned by such Limited Partner or Assignee (an
"Exchanging Person") for consideration consisting of (i) an amount of cash equal
to the Cash Amount, (ii) a number of REIT Shares equal to the REIT Shares
Amount, or (iii) any combination of (i) or (ii) above, with the decision as to
the type of consideration to be given to the Exchanging Person to be made by
Crescent Equities, in its sole and absolute discretion. The Exchange Right shall
be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Exchange delivered to Crescent Equities by
the Exchanging Person, accompanied by any certificate or certificates evidencing
the Partnership Units to be exchanged. If Crescent Equities elects to pay all or
any portion of the consideration to an Exchanging Person in cash, the Crescent
Group agrees to use its best efforts to raise any required funds as quickly as
possible after receipt of the Notice of Exchange.

                  B.       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 8.6.A above, to the extent that the delivery of REIT Shares to an
Exchanging Person pursuant to Section 8.6.A above would cause the Exchanging
Person to violate the applicable "Ownership Limit" or the "Existing Holder
Limit" set forth in the Declaration of Trust, Crescent Equities may not deliver
REIT Shares to such Exchanging Person but may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, elect to either (1) pay the consideration to the Exchanging Person
in the form of the Cash Amount, or (2) refuse, in whole or in part, to accept
the Notice of Exchange.

         Section 8.7       Covenants Relating to the Exchange Rights

                  A.       Crescent Equities shall at all times reserve for
issuance such number of REIT Shares as may be necessary to enable it to issue
such REIT Shares in full satisfaction of the Exchange Rights with respect to all
Partnership Units which are from time to time outstanding.

                  B.       As long as Crescent Equities shall be obligated to
file periodic reports under the Exchange Act, Crescent Equities shall use its
best efforts to file such reports in such manner as shall enable any recipient
of REIT Shares issued pursuant to Section 8.6 in reliance upon an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act to continue to be eligible to utilize Rule
144 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act, or any successor rule
or regulation or statute thereunder, for the resale thereof.

                  C.       Crescent Equities shall not issue any additional REIT
Shares (other than REIT Shares contemplated by Sections 4.2 and 8.6 and REIT
Shares issued pursuant to a Stock Incentive Plan) other than on a pro rata basis
to all holders of REIT Shares. Crescent Equities shall not issue any preferred
stock or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities
containing the right to subscribe for or purchase REIT Shares ("New Securities")
other than to all holders of REIT Shares unless (i) the General Partner shall
cause the Partnership to issue to Crescent Equities preferred equity ownership
interests or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities
of the Partnership ("New Interests") having designations, preferences and other
rights, all such that the economic interests are substantially similar to those
of the New Securities, and (ii) Crescent Equities contributes the proceeds from
the issuance of

                                     - 44 -
<PAGE>

such New Securities and from the exercise of rights contained in such New
Securities to the Partnership. The Partners hereby acknowledge and agree that
the proceeds received by Crescent Equities in exchange for the issuance of New
Securities may be cash or real property or an interest therein. If any New
Securities are subsequently converted or exchanged for REIT Shares, (i) Crescent
Equities shall, as of the date on which the conversion or exchange is
consummated, be deemed to have contributed to the Partnership as Contributed
Funds pursuant to Section 4.2.A(2) hereof an amount equal to the Value (computed
as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such conversion
or exchange of the New Securities is consummated) of the REIT Shares delivered
by Crescent Equities to such holder of New Securities, and (ii) the Partnership
Interests of Crescent Equities and the other Limited Partners shall be adjusted
as set forth in Section 4.2. The number of Partnership Units held by the Limited
Partners shall not be decreased in connection with the issuance of any New
Securities or in connection with any subsequent conversion or exchange of any
New Securities for REIT Shares.

                  D.       Each Limited Partner and Assignee covenants and
agrees that all Partnership Units delivered for exchange pursuant to Section 8.6
hereof shall be delivered to Crescent Equities free and clear of all Liens and,
notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Crescent Equities
shall be under no obligation to acquire Partnership Units which are or may be
subject to any Liens. Each Limited Partner and Assignee further agrees that, in
the event any state or local property transfer tax is payable as a result of the
transfer of its Partnership Units to Crescent Equities, such Limited Partner or
Assignee shall assume and pay such transfer tax.

                  E.       In the event Crescent Equities purchases REIT Shares,
then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to purchase from Crescent
Equities a portion of its Partnership Interest on the same terms that Crescent
Equities purchased such REIT Shares.

         Section 8.8       Other Matters Relating to the Exchange Rights

                  A.       Any Partnership Units transferred to Crescent
Equities in connection with the exercise of the Exchange Rights shall be
canceled.

                  B.       Upon any transfer of Partnership Units by an
Exchanging Person to Crescent Equities pursuant to Section 8.6 above, the
Partnership Interest of such Limited Partner or Assignee shall be decreased (and
the Partnership Interest of Crescent Equities shall be correspondingly
increased) as provided in this Section 8.8.B. The Partnership Interest of such
Limited Partner or Assignee subsequent to the exchange event shall be equal to
the product of the following: (i) the Partnership Interest of such Limited
Partner or Assignee immediately prior to the exchange event, multiplied by (ii)
a fraction, the numerator of which is the total Partnership Units owned by such
Limited Partner or Assignee immediately after the exchange event, and the
denominator of which is the total number of Partnership Units owned by such
Limited Partner or Assignee immediately prior to the exchange event.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Limited Partner or Assignee owns Partnership
Units and also owns Partnership Interests issued pursuant to Section 4.3 or 4.7
above, which Partnership Interests were not associated with Partnership Units,
the portion of the Partnership Interest of such Limited Partner or Assignee that
represents the Partnership Interests issued pursuant to Section 4.3 or 4.7 shall
not be subject to reduction pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.8.B.

than the last quarter of the fiscal year), the General Partner shall cause to be
mailed to each Limited Partner a quarterly report containing financial
statements of the Partnership, or of the Crescent Group if such statements are
prepared solely on a consolidated basis with the Crescent Group, for such fiscal
quarter, presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
As soon as practicable after the close of each fiscal year, the General Partner
shall cause to be mailed to each Limited Partner an annual report containing
financial statements of the Partnership, or of the Crescent Group if such
statements are prepared solely on a consolidated basis with the Crescent Group,
for such fiscal year, presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The annual financial statements shall be audited by a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants selected by the General
Partner.

         Section 10.1      Preparation of Tax Returns

of all returns of Partnership income, gains, deductions, losses and other items
required of the Partnership for federal, state and local income tax purposes,
and the delivery to the Limited Partners of all tax information reasonably
required by the Limited Partners for federal, state and local income tax
reporting purposes.

         Section 10.2      Tax Elections

         Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall, in its
sole and absolute discretion, determine whether to make any available election
or choose any available reporting method pursuant to the Code or state or local
tax law; provided, however, that the General Partner shall make the election
under Section 754 of the Code in accordance with applicable regulations
thereunder. The General Partner shall have the right to seek to revoke any such
election (including, without limitation, the election under Section 754 of the
Code) or change any reporting method upon the General Partner's determination in
its sole and absolute discretion that such revocation is in the best interests
of all of the Partners.

         Section 10.3      Tax Matters Partner

                  A.       The General Partner shall be the "tax matters
partner" of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes. Pursuant to Section
6223(c)(3) of the Code, upon receipt of notice from the IRS of the beginning of
an administrative proceeding with respect to the Partnership, the tax matters
partner shall furnish the IRS with the name, address and profits interest of
each of the Limited Partners, provided that such information is provided to the
Partnership by the Limited Partners.

                  B.       The tax matters partner is authorized, but not
required:

                  (1)      to enter into any settlement with the IRS with
                           respect to any administrative or judicial proceedings
                           for the adjustment of Partnership items required to
                           be taken into account by a Partner for income tax
                           purposes (such administrative proceedings being
                           referred to as a "tax audit" and such judicial
                           proceedings being referred to as "judicial review"),
                           and in the settlement agreement the tax matters
                           partner may expressly state that such agreement shall
                           bind all Partners, except that such settlement
                           agreement shall not bind any Partner (i) who (within
                           the time prescribed pursuant to the Code and
                           Regulations) files a statement with the IRS providing
                           that the tax matters partner shall not have the
                           authority to enter into a settlement agreement on
                           behalf of such Partner or (ii) who is a "notice
                           partner" (as defined in Section 6231 of the Code) or
                           a member of a "notice group" (as defined in Section
                           6223(b)(2) of the Code);

                  (2)      in the event that a notice of a final administrative
                           adjustment at the Partnership level of any item
                           required to be taken into account by a Partner for
                           tax purposes (a "final adjustment") is mailed to the
                           tax matters partner, to seek judicial review of such
                           final adjustment, including the filing of a petition
                           for readjustment with the Tax Court or the United
                           States Claims Court, or the filing of a complaint for
                           refund with the District Court of the United States
                           for the district in which the Partnership's principal
                           place of business is located;

                  (3)      to intervene in any action brought by any other
                           Partner for judicial review of a final adjustment;

<PAGE>

                  (4)      to file a request for an administrative adjustment
                           with the IRS at any time and, if any part of such
                           request is not allowed by the IRS, to file an
                           appropriate pleading (petition or complaint) for
                           judicial review with respect to such request;

                  (5)      to enter into an agreement with the IRS to extend the
                           period for assessing any tax which is attributable to
                           any item required to be taken into account by a
                           Partner for tax purposes, or an item affected by such
                           item; and

                  (6)      to take any other action on behalf of the Partners of
                           the Partnership in connection with any tax audit or
                           judicial review proceeding to the extent permitted by
                           applicable law or regulations.

         The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the tax
matters partner in connection with any such proceeding, except to the extent
required by law, is a matter in the sole and absolute discretion of the tax
matters partner and the provisions relating to indemnification of Indemnitees
set forth in Section 7.7 of this Agreement shall be fully applicable to the tax
matters partner in its capacity as such.

                  C.       The tax matters partner shall receive no compensation
for its services. All third party costs and expenses incurred by the tax matters
partner in performing its duties as such (including legal and accounting fees)
shall be borne by the Partnership. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict
the Partnership from engaging an accounting firm to assist the tax matters
partner in discharging its duties hereunder.

         Section 10.4      Organizational Expenses

         The Partnership shall elect to deduct expenses, if any, incurred by it
in organizing the Partnership ratably over a sixty (60)-month period as provided
in Section 709 of the Code.

         Section 10.5      Withholding

         Each Limited Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from
or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Limited Partner any amount of
federal, state, local, or foreign taxes that the General Partner determines that
the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount
distributable or allocable to such Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement,
including, without limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the
Partnership pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, or 1446 of the Code. Any
amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Limited Partner shall constitute a
loan by the Partnership to such Limited Partner, which loan shall be repaid by
such Limited Partner within fifteen (15) days after notice from the General
Partner that such payment must be made unless (i) the Partnership withholds such
payment from a distribution which would otherwise be made to the Limited
Partner, or (ii) 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. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii)
shall be treated as having been distributed to such Limited Partner. Each
Limited Partner hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Partnership
a security interest in such Limited Partner's Partnership Interest to secure
such Limited Partner's obligation

                                     - 48 -
<PAGE>

to pay to the Partnership any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this
Section 10.5. In the event that a Limited Partner fails to pay any amounts owed
to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 10.5 when due, 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, and in such event
shall be deemed to have loaned such amount to such defaulting Limited Partner
and, until repayment of such loan, shall succeed to all rights and remedies of
the Partnership as against such defaulting Limited Partner (including, without
limitation, the right to receive distributions). Any amounts payable by a
Limited Partner hereunder shall bear interest at the base rate on corporate
loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from
time to time in the Wall Street Journal, plus four percentage points (but not
higher than the maximum lawful rate) from the date such amount is due (i.e.,
fifteen (1 5) days after demand) until such amount is paid in full. Each 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.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                            TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS

         Section 11.1      Transfer

                  A.       The term "transfer," when used in this Article 11
with respect to a Partnership Interest, shall be deemed to refer to a
transaction by which the General Partner purports to assign its General
Partnership Interest to another Person or by which a Limited Partner purports to
assign its Limited Partnership Interest to another Person, and includes a sale,
assignment, gift, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange or any
other disposition by law or otherwise. The term "transfer" when used in this
Article 11 does not include any exchange of Partnership Units by a Limited
Partner pursuant to Section 8.6.

                  B.       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. Any transfer or purported transfer of a Partnership Interest
not made in accordance with this Article 11 shall be null and void.

         Section 11.2      Transfer of Partnership Interests of the General
                           Partner

                  A.       The General Partner shall not withdraw from the
Partnership or transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Partnership
except in connection with a transaction described in Section 11.2.B or 11.2.C.

                  B.       Crescent Equities shall not engage in any merger,
consolidation or other combination with or into another Person, or sale of all
or substantially all of its assets, or any reclassification, or recapitalization
or change of outstanding REIT Shares (other than a reincorporation, a
reorganization primarily for the purpose of changing domicile or converting to
corporate form, a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or as
a result of a subdivision or combination as described in the definition of
"Exchange Factor," which require no consent of the Limited Partners under this
Agreement) ("Transaction"), unless the Transaction either:

                                     - 49 -
<PAGE>

                  (1)      includes a merger of the Partnership or sale of
                           substantially all of the assets of the Partnership,
                           as a result of which all Limited Partners will
                           receive for each Partnership Unit an amount of cash,
                           securities, or other property equal to the product of
                           the Exchange Factor and the greatest amount of cash,
                           securities or other property paid to a holder of one
                           REIT Share in consideration of one REIT Share 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 shall have been made to and
                           accepted by the holders of more than fifty percent
                           (50%) of the outstanding REIT Shares, the holders of
                           Partnership Units shall receive the greatest amount
                           of cash, securities, or other property which a
                           Limited Partner would have received had it exercised
                           the Exchange Right and received REIT Shares in
                           exchange for all of its Partnership Units immediately
                           prior to the expiration of such purchase, tender or
                           exchange offer; or

                  (2)      provides that the Partnership shall continue as a
                           separate entity and grants to the Limited Partners
                           exchange rights with respect to the ownership
                           interests in the new entity that are substantially
                           equivalent to the Exchange Rights provided for in
                           Section 8.6.

                  C.       Crescent Equities shall not transfer all or any
portion of its ownership interest in the General Partner; provided, however,
that Crescent Equities may liquidate the General Partner.

         Section 11.3      Transfer of Partnership Interests of Limited Partners
                           Other Than Crescent Equities

                  A.       Subject to the provisions of Sections 11.3.C, 11.3.D,
11.3.E, 11.3.F and 11.3.G hereof, any Limited Partner other than Crescent
Equities may freely transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest. Any
transferee of a Limited Partnership Interest (whether such transferee is a
Substituted Limited Partner or an Assignee) shall also become the owner of any
Partnership Units associated with such Limited Partnership Interest, and shall
be entitled to exercise the Exchange Rights with respect to such Partnership
Units in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 8.6
above.

                  B.       If a Limited Partner is Incapacitated, the executor,
administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or receiver of such
Limited Partner's estate shall have all 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 its interest in the
Partnership. 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
otherwise permitted under this Section 11.3 by a Limited Partner of its
Partnership Interest if, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership,
such transfer would require filing of a registration statement under the

                                     - 50 -
<PAGE>

Securities Act or would otherwise violate any federal or state securities laws
or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Partnership Interest.

                  D.       No transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership
Interest may be made to any Person if (i) in the opinion of legal counsel for
the Partnership, it would result in the Partnership being treated as an
association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, or result
in a termination of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes, (ii) in the
opinion of the legal counsel for the Partnership, it would adversely affect the
ability of Crescent Equities to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject
Crescent Equities to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of
the Code, or (iii) the General Partner determines that such transfer is
effectuated through or, together with other similar transfers, could result in
the creation of an "established securities market" or a "secondary market (or
the substantial equivalent thereof)" or otherwise increase the likelihood that
the Partnership would be treated as a "publicly traded partnership" within the
meaning of Code Section 7704 and the related Notice 88-75, 1988-2 C.B. 386, and
Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1.

                  E.       No transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership
Interest may be made (i) to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or
capacity to own a Partnership Interest, (ii) in violation of any provision of
any mortgage or trust deed (or the note or bond secured thereby) constituting a
Lien against an asset of the Partnership, (iii) in violation of applicable law,
or (iv) if such transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to 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.

                  F.       No transfer of a Limited Partnership Interest 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, except with the consent of the
General Partner, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole and
absolute discretion of the General Partner.

         Section 11.4      Substituted Limited Partners

                  A.       Except as otherwise expressly provided in the last
sentence of this Section 11.4.A, no Limited Partner shall have the right to
substitute a transferee as a Limited Partner in its place without the consent of
the General Partner, which consent may be granted or withheld by the General
Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. The General Partner's failure or
refusal to permit a transferee of a Limited Partnership Interest to become a
Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action against
the Partnership or any Partner. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained above in this Section 11.4.A, if the transferee of a Limited
Partnership Interest is a Person listed on Exhibit E attached hereto, the
General Partner shall be required to admit such transferee as a Substituted
Limited Partner, provided that (i) the transfer of the Limited Partnership
Interest to such Person is not prohibited under the provisions of Sections
11.3.C through G hereof, and (ii) such transferee complies with the provisions
of the second sentence of Section 11.4.B hereof.

                  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

                                     - 51 -
<PAGE>

restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner under this Agreement. The
admission of any transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner shall be subject to
the transferee executing and delivering to the Partnership an acceptance of all
of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation,
the provisions of Section 2.4) and such other documents or instruments as may be
required to effect the admission.

                  C.       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 Partnership 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.

         Section 11.5      Assignees

         If the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not
consent to the admission of any permitted transferee under Section 11.3 as a
Substituted Limited Partner, as described in Section 11.4, such transferee shall
be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. 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,
Recapture Income, and any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and
credit of the Partnership attributable to the Partnership Interest transferred
to such transferee, but shall not be entitled to vote such Partnership Interest
on any matter presented to the Limited Partners for a vote (such Partnership
Interest being deemed to have been voted on such matter in the same proportion
as all other Partnership Interests held by the Limited Partners are voted). In
the event any such transferee desires to make a further transfer of any such
Partnership Interest, 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 a transfer of a Partnership Interest.

         Section 11.6      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 Interest in accordance with this Article 11 or pursuant to an
exchange of its Partnership Interest under Section 8.6.

                  B.       Any Limited Partner who shall transfer all of its
Partnership Interest in a permitted transfer pursuant to this Article 11 or
pursuant to an exchange of all of its Partnership Units under Section 8.6 shall
cease to be a Limited Partner.

                  C.       If any Partnership Interest is exchanged pursuant to
Section 8.6 or transferred pursuant to this Article 11 at any time other than
the end of a fiscal year, Net Income, Net Loss, each item thereof and all other
items attributable to such interest for such fiscal year shall be allocated
between the transferor Partner and the transferee Partner in the same ratio as
the number of days in such fiscal year before and after such transfer, except
that gain or loss attributable to the sale or other disposition of all or any
substantial portion of the Partnership assets or to other extraordinary
non-recurring items shall be allocated to the owner of the Partnership Interest
as of the date of closing of the sale or other disposition, or, with respect to
other extraordinary non-recurring items, the date the profit is realized or the
loss is incurred, as the case may be. Solely for purposes of the allocations to
be made under the preceding sentence

                                     - 52 -
<PAGE>

(but not for any other purpose), (i) any Partnership Interest that is exchanged
or otherwise transferred prior to the eighth day of a month shall receive
allocations under the preceding sentence as if it had been transferred on the
first day of the month, (ii) any Partnership Interest that is exchanged or
otherwise transferred on or after the eighth day of a month and prior to the
twenty-third day of such month shall receive allocations under the preceding
sentence as if it had been transferred on the fifteenth day of the month, and
(iii) any Partnership Interest that is exchanged or otherwise transferred on or
after the twenty-third day of a month shall receive allocations under the
preceding sentence as if it had been transferred on the first day of the next
succeeding month. All distributions of Available Cash with respect to which the
Partnership Record Date is before the date of such transfer or exchange shall be
made to the transferor Partner, and all distributions of Available Cash
thereafter shall be made to the transferee Partner.

         Section 11.7      Acquisition of Partnership Interest by Partnership

         The Partnership may acquire, by purchase, redemption or otherwise, any
Partnership Interest or other interest of a Partner in the Partnership. Any
Partnership Interest or other interest so acquired by the Partnership shall be
deemed canceled. In the event that a Partnership Interest is acquired by the
Partnership pursuant to this Section 11.7, the Partnership Interest of each
other existing Partner shall be increased, as of the date of acquisition of such
Partnership Interest by the Partnership, such that the Partnership Interest of
each Partner shall be equal to the sum of (a) each Partner's existing
Partnership Interest, plus (b) the product obtained by multiplying (i) each
Partner's existing Partnership Interest by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of
which is equal to the Partnership Interest acquired by the Partnership and the
denominator of which is equal to the result obtained by subtracting (A) one
minus (B) the Partnership Interest acquired by the Partnership.

                                  ARTICLE XII
                              ADMISSION OF PARTNERS

         Section 12.1      Admission of Substituted General Partner

         A successor to all of the General Partner's General Partnership
Interest pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof who is proposed to be admitted as a
substituted General Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as the General
Partner, effective simultaneously with such transfer. Any such transferee shall
carry on the business of the Partnership without dissolution. In each case, the
admission shall be subject to the substituted General Partner executing and
delivering to the Partnership an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions
of this Agreement and such other documents or instruments as may be required to
effect the admission.

         Section 12.2      Admission of Additional or Employee Limited Partners

                  A.       After the admission to the Partnership of the Limited
Partners on the date hereof, a Person who makes a Capital Contribution to the
Partnership in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof or receives a Limited
Partnership Interest pursuant to Section 4.7 hereof shall be admitted to the
Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner or Employee Limited Partner, as the
case may be, only upon furnishing to the General Partner (i) evidence of
acceptance in form satisfactory to the General Partner of all of the terns and
conditions of this Agreement, including,

                                     - 53 -
<PAGE>

without limitation, the power of attorney granted in Section 2.4 hereof, and
(ii) such other documents or instruments as may be required in the discretion of
the General Partner in order to effect such Person's admission as an Additional
Limited Partner or Employee Limited Partner, as the case may be. The admission
of any Person as an Additional Limited Partner or Employee Limited Partner, as
the case may be, shall become effective on the date upon which the name of such
Person is recorded on the books and records of the Partnership, following the
consent of the General Partner to such admission.

                  B.       If any Additional Limited Partner or Employee Limited
Partner is admitted to the Partnership at any time other than the end of a
fiscal year, Net Income, Net Loss, each item thereof and all other items for
such fiscal year shall be allocated among such Additional Limited Partner or
Employee Limited Partner and all other Partners by taking into account their
varying interests during such fiscal year in accordance with Section 706(d) of
the Code. For this purpose, Net Income, Net Loss, each item thereof and all
other items for such fiscal year shall be prorated based on the portion of the
taxable year that has elapsed prior to the admission of such Additional Limited
Partner or Employee Limited Partner, except that gain or loss attributable to
the sale or other disposition of all or any substantial portion of the
Partnership assets or to other extraordinary non-recurring items shall be
allocated to the Partners who own Partnership Interests as of the date of
closing of the sale or other disposition, or, with respect to other
extraordinary non-recurring items, the date the profit is realized or the loss
is incurred, as the case may be. Solely for purposes of the allocations to be
made under the preceding sentence (but not for any other purpose), (i) any
Additional Limited Partner or Employee Limited Partner that is admitted to the
Partnership prior to the eighth day of a month shall receive allocations under
the preceding sentence as if such Partner had been admitted on the first day of
the month, (ii) any Additional Limited Partner or Employee Limited Partner that
is admitted to the Partnership on or after the eighth day of the month and prior
to the twenty-third day of such month shall receive allocations under the
preceding sentence as if such Partner had been admitted on the fifteenth day of
the month, and (iii) any Additional Limited Partner or Employee Limited Partner
that is admitted to the Partnership on or after the twenty-third day of a month
shall receive allocations under the preceding sentence as if such Partner had
been admitted on the first day of the next succeeding month. All distributions
of Available Cash with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before
the date of admission of such Additional Limited Partner or Employee Limited
Partner shall be made solely to Partners other than the Additional Limited
Partner or Employee Limited Partner, and all distributions of Available Cash
thereafter shall be made to all Partners including the Additional Limited
Partner or Employee Limited Partner.

                  C.       Greenbrier has executed and delivered to the General
Partner the Greenbrier Agreement. The General Partner, exercising its discretion
pursuant to Section 12.2.A hereof, hereby agrees that the Greenbrier Agreement
is the sole document required to effectuate the admission to the Partnership of
Greenbrier as an Additional Limited Partner. The Greenbrier Agreement contains
an "evergreen" provision so that it shall be deemed reexecuted and delivered to
the General Partner by Greenbrier if, as and whenever it shall acquire future
installments of Partnership Units under the Consultant Unit Agreement if, prior
to the acquisition of any such future installment, it shall have exchanged all
of its Partnership Units and consequently ceased to be a Limited Partner
pursuant to Section 11.6.B hereof. Accordingly, if, as and whenever Greenbrier
receives Partnership Units pursuant to the terms of the Consultant Unit
Agreement, the General Partner shall automatically admit Greenbrier as an
Additional Limited Partner

                                     - 54 -

         Section 12.3      Amendment of Agreement and Certificate of Limited
                           Partnership

         For the admission to the Partnership of any Partner in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement, the General Partner shall take all steps
necessary and appropriate under the Act to amend the records of the Partnership
and, if necessary, to prepare as soon as practical an amendment of this
Agreement (including an amendment of Exhibit A) and, if required by law, shall
prepare and file an amendment to the Certificate and may for this purpose
exercise the power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                           DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

         Section 13.1      Dissolution

         The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of Substituted
Limited Partners, Additional Limited Partners or Employee Limited Partners, or
by the admission of a substituted General Partner in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. Upon the withdrawal of the General Partner, any substituted
General Partner shall continue the business of the Partnership. The Partnership
shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon the first to occur of
any of the following ("Liquidating Events"):

                  A.       the expiration of its term as provided in Section 2.5
hereof.

                  B.       an event of withdrawal of the General Partner, as
defined in the Act (other than (i) a liquidation of the General Partner into
Crescent Equities, in which event Crescent Equities shall become the General
Partner, or (ii) an event of Bankruptcy), unless within ninety (90) days after
the withdrawal remaining Partners owning a majority-in-interest of the total
Partnership Interests of the remaining Partners agree in writing to continue the
business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective immediately prior
to the date of withdrawal, of a substitute General Partner;

                  C.       an election to dissolve the Partnership made in
writing by the General Partner;

                  D.       entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the
Partnership pursuant to the provisions of the Act;

                  E.       the sale of all or substantially all of the assets
and properties of the Partnership, unless the General Partner elects to continue
the Partnership business for the purpose of the receipt and the collection of
indebtedness or the collection of other consideration to be received in exchange
for the assets of the Partnership (which activities shall be deemed to be part
of the winding up of the Partnership); or

                  F.       a final and non-appealable judgment is entered by a
court with appropriate jurisdiction ding that either Crescent Equities or the
General Partner is bankrupt or insolvent, or a

                                     - 55 -
<PAGE>

final and non-appealable order for relief is entered by a court with appropriate
jurisdiction against either Crescent Equities or the General Partner, in each
case under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency laws as now or
hereafter in effect, unless prior to the entry of such order or judgment
remaining Partners owning a majority-in-interest of the total Partnership
Interests of the remaining Partners agree 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 substituted General Partner.

         Section 13.2      Winding Up

                  A.       Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the
Partnership shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in
an orderly manner, liquidating its assets (subject to the provisions of Section
13.2.B below), and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Partners. No
Partner shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or
appropriate for, the winding up of the Partnership's business and affairs. The
General Partner (or, in the event there is no remaining General Partner, any
Person elected by Limited Partners owning a majority-in-interest of the total
Partnership Interests of the Limited Partners (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 market value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom (which may,
to the extent determined by the General Partner, include shares of stock in
Crescent Equities) shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

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

                  (2)      Second, to the payment and discharge of all of the
                           Partnership's debts and liabilities to the Partners;
                           and

                  (3)      The balance, if any, to the General Partner and
                           Limited Partners in accordance with their positive
                           Capital Account balances, after giving effect to all
                           contributions, distributions, and allocations for all
                           periods.

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

                  B.       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, the Liquidator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, defer for
a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to
satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (including to those Partners as
creditors) and/or distribute to the Partners, in lieu of cash, as tenants in
common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2.A hereof, undivided
interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for
liquidation. Any such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good
faith judgment of the Liquidator, such

                                     - 56 -
<PAGE>

distributions in kind are in the best interest of the Partners, and shall be
subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such
properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any
agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. The
Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in
kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

                  C.       As part of the liquidation and winding-up of the
Partnership, a proper accounting shall be made of the Capital Account of each
Partner, including an analysis of changes to the Capital Account from the date
of the last previous accounting. Financial statements presenting such accounting
shall include a report of an independent certified public accountant selected by
the Liquidator.

                  D.       As part of the liquidation and winding-up of the
Partnership, the Liquidator may sell Partnership assets (or assets owned by the
Subsidiary Corporations, the Management Company, or any other entity in which
the Partnership is an owner), at the best price and on the best terms and
conditions as the Liquidator in good faith believes are reasonably available at
the time.

         Section 13.3      Compliance with Timing Requirements of Regulations

         In the event the Partnership is "liquidated" within the meaning of
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions shall be made pursuant
to this Article 13 to the General Partner and Limited Partners who have positive
Capital Accounts in compliance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2).
If any Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect
to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years,
including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Partner shall
have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership
with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt
owed to the Partnership or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever. In
the discretion of the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that
would otherwise be made to the General Partner and Limited Partners pursuant to
this Article 13 may be:

                  (i)      distributed to a trust established for the benefit of
the General Partner and Limited Partners for the purposes of liquidating
Partnership assets, collecting amounts owed to the Partnership, and paying any
contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or of the
General Partner arising out of or in connection with the Partnership. The assets
of any such trust shall be distributed to the General Partner and Limited
Partners 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 and Limited
Partners pursuant to this Agreement; or

                  (ii)     withheld 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 amounts shall be distributed to the General Partner and Limited
Partners as soon as practicable.

         Section 13.4      Deemed Contribution and Distribution

         Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article 13, in the event
the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) but no Liquidating Event has occurred, the Partnership's
property shall not be liquidated, the Partnership's liabilities shall not be
paid or discharged, and the Partnership's affairs shall not be wound up.
Instead, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.708-1(b)(4), the Partnership
shall be deemed to have contributed all of its assets and liabilities to a new
partnership in exchange for an interest in the new partnership. Immediately
thereafter, the Partnership shall be deemed to have liquidated by distributing
the interests in the new partnership to the new General Partner and the Limited
Partners.

         Section 13.5      Rights of Limited Partners

         Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Limited Partner
shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return of its Capital
Contribution and shall have no right or power to demand or receive property
other than cash from the Partnership. No Limited Partner shall have priority
over any other Limited Partner as to the return of its Capital Contributions,
distributions, or allocations, except as permitted by Section 8.7.C or otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement.

         Section 13.6      Documentation of Liquidation

         Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership cash and
property as provided in Section 13.2 hereof, the Partnership shall be terminated
and the Certificate and all qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign
limited partnership in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware shall be
canceled and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership
shall be taken. The Liquidator shall have the authority to execute and record
any and all documents or instruments required to effect the dissolution,
liquidation and termination of the Partnership.

         Section 13.7      Reasonable Time for Winding-Up

         A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding-up of the
business and affairs of the Partnership and 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 between the Partners during the period of liquidation.

         Section 13.8      Liability of the Liquidator

         The Liquidator shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Partnership from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, costs,
damages and causes of action of any nature whatsoever arising out of or
incidental to the Liquidator's taking of any action authorized under or within
the scope of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Liquidator shall not be
entitled to indemnification, and shall not be held harmless, where the claim,
demand, liability, cost, damage or cause of action at issue arises out of:

                                     - 58 -
<PAGE>

                  (1)      a matter entirely unrelated to the Liquidator's
                           action or conduct pursuant to the provisions of this
                           Agreement; or

                  (2)      the proven willful misconduct or gross negligence of
                           the Liquidator.

         Section 13.9      Waiver of Partition

         Each Partner hereby waives any right to a partition of the Partnership
property.

                                  ARTICLE XIV
                             AMENDMENT OF AGREEMENT

         Section 14.1      Amendments

                  A.       Amendments to this Agreement may be proposed by the
General Partner. Except as provided in Section 14.1.B or 14.1.C, a proposed
amendment shall be adopted and be effective as an amendment hereto if it is
approved by the General Partner and Limited Partners owning a
majority-in-interest of the total Partnership Interests of the Limited Partners.

                  B.       Notwithstanding Section 14.1.A, the General Partner
shall have the power, without the Consent of the Limited Partners, to amend this
Agreement as may be required to facilitate or implement any of the following
purposes:

                  (1)      to add to the obligations of the General Partner or
                           surrender any right or power granted to the General
                           Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner for
                           the benefit of the Limited Partners;

                  (2)      to reflect the admission, substitution, termination,
                           or withdrawal of Partners in accordance with this
                           Agreement (including, without limitation, adjustments
                           to Exhibit A to reflect such events, as set forth in
                           Section 4.1.B hereof); and

                  (3)      to reflect a change that is of an inconsequential
                           nature and does not adversely affect the Limited
                           Partners in any material respect, or to cure any
                           ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision in
                           this Agreement not inconsistent with law or with
                           other provisions, or make other changes with respect
                           to matters arising under this Agreement that will not
                           be inconsistent with law or with the provisions of
                           this Agreement.

                  C.       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 14.1.A hereof, this Agreement shall not be amended without the prior
written consent of each Partner adversely affected if such amendment would (i)
convert a Limited Partner's interest in the Partnership into a general partner's
interest, (ii) modify the limited liability of a Limited Partner, (iii) alter
rights of the Partner to receive distributions pursuant to Article 5, or the
allocations specified in Article 6 (except as permitted pursuant to Sections
4.2, 4.3, 4.6, 4.7, 8.7 and Section 14.1.B(3) hereof), (iv) alter or modify the
Exchange Rights set forth in Section 8.6, or the right set forth in Section
11.2.B, (v) cause the termination of the Partnership prior to the time set forth
in Sections 2.5 or 13.1, or (vi) amend this Section 14.1.C. Further, no
amendment may alter the

                                     - 59 -
<PAGE>

restrictions on the General Partner's authority set forth in Section 7.3 without
the consent of all Limited Partners.

                     PARTNER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         Section 15.1      Representations and Warranties

                  A.       Each Partner represents and warrants severally and
not jointly, and solely on behalf of itself, to the Partnership and the other
Partners as follows:

                           (1)      Organization. If such Partner is not a
natural person, such Partner is duly formed and validly existing and is
qualified to do business and in good standing in the jurisdictions in which it
does business.

                           (2)      Due Authorization; Binding Agreement. This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Partner, or an authorized
representative of such Partner, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Partner, enforceable against such Partner in accordance with
the terms hereof.

                           (3)      Consents and Approvals. No consent, waiver,
approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or qualification with, or
notice to, any governmental unit or any other person is required to be made,
obtained or given by such Partner in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement other than consents, waivers, approvals or
authorizations which have been obtained prior to the date hereof.

                           (4)      No Conflict with Other Documents or
Violation of Law. The execution of this Agreement by such Partner and such
Partner's performance of the transactions contemplated herein will not violate
any document, instrument, agreement, stipulation, judgment, order, or any
applicable federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation to which such
Partner is a party or by which such Partner is bound.

                  B.       Each Limited Partner represents and warrants that its
Limited Partnership Interest is being acquired for its own account and not with
a view to the distribution or other sale thereof, except in a transaction which
is exempt from registration under the Securities Act or registered thereunder.
Any distribution or other sale of the Limited Partnership Interest of such
Limited Partner shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11.3 hereof. Such
Limited Partner further represents and warrants to the Partnership and the other
Partners as follows:

                           (1)      If such Limited Partner is a corporation,
partnership or a Massachusetts business trust or similar business trust, it has
not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Limited Partnership
Interest, and has total assets in excess of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000);

                           (2)      If such Limited Partner is an individual, he
or she had an individual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most
recent tax years or joint income with his or her spouse in excess of $300,000 in
each of those years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching at least the
same income level in the current year;

                                     - 60 -
<PAGE>

                           (3)      Such Limited Partner is a sophisticated
investor with the capacity to protect its own interests in investments of this
nature, and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in
the Limited Partnership Interest;

                           (4)      Such Limited Partner has had an opportunity
to ask questions and receive answers concerning the investment in the Limited
Partnership Interest, and has all of the information deemed by it to be
necessary or appropriate to evaluate the investment in the Limited Partnership
Interest and the risks and merits thereof;

                           (5)      Such Limited Partner is aware of the
following:

                                    (i)      An investment in the Limited
Partnership Interest is speculative, with no assurance of any income therefrom;

                                    (ii)     No federal or state agency bas made
any finding or determination as to the fairness of the acquisition, or any
recommendation or endorsement of such acquisition;

                                    (iii)    Transferability of the Limited
Partnership Interest is restricted and, accordingly, it may not be possible for
such Limited Partner to liquidate the Limited Partnership Interest in case of
emergency; and

                                    (iv)     With respect to the tax aspects of
an investment in the Limited Partnership Interest, such Limited Partner in
making this acquisition is not relying to any degree upon the advice of Crescent
Equities or the Partnership, or any Person affiliated therewith, but rather
solely upon its own legal, financial and tax advisors.

                             ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES

         Section 16.1      Arbitration

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
all claims, disputes and controversies between the parties hereto (including,
without limitation, any claims, disputes and controversies between the
Partnership and any one or more of the Partners and any claims, disputes and
controversies among any two or more Partners) arising out of or in connection
with this Agreement or the Partnership created hereby, relating to the validity,
construction, performance, breach, enforcement or termination thereof, or
otherwise, shall be resolved by binding arbitration in the State of Texas, in
accordance with this Article 16 and, to the extent not inconsistent herewith,
the Expedited Procedures and Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association.

         Section 16.2      Procedures

         Any arbitration called for by this Article 16 shall be conducted in
accordance with the following procedures:

                                     - 61 -
<PAGE>

                           (1)      The Partnership or any partner (the
"Requesting Party") may demand arbitration pursuant to Section 16.1 hereof at
any time by giving written notice of such demand (the "Demand Notice") to all
other Partners and (if the Requesting Party is not the Partnership) to the
Partnership, which Demand Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature
of the claim, dispute or controversy.

                           (2)      Within fifteen (15) days after the giving of
a Demand Notice, the Requesting Party, on the one hand, and each of the other
Partners and/or the Partnership against whom the claim has been made or with
respect to which a dispute has arisen, on the other hand, shall select and
designate in writing to the other party one reputable, disinterested individual
deemed competent to arbitrate the claim, dispute or controversy (a "Qualified
Individual") willing to act as an arbitrator of the claim, dispute or
controversy. Within fifteen (15) days after the foregoing selections have been
made, the arbitrators so selected shall jointly select a third Qualified
Individual willing to act as an arbitrator of the claim, dispute or controversy.
In the event that the two arbitrators initially selected are unable to agree on
a third arbitrator within the second fifteen (15) day period referred to above,
then, on the application of either party, the American Arbitration Association
shall promptly select and appoint a Qualified Individual to act as the third
arbitrator. The three arbitrators selected pursuant to this Section 16.2(2)
shall constitute the arbitration panel for the arbitration in question.

                           (3)      The presentations of the parties hereto in
the arbitration proceeding shall be commenced and completed within sixty (60)
days after the selection of the arbitration panel pursuant to Section 16.2(2)
above, and the arbitration panel shall render its decision in writing within
thirty (30) days after the completion of such presentations. Any decision
concurred in by any two (2) of the arbitrators shall constitute the decision of
the arbitration panel, and unanimity shall not be required.

                           (4)      The arbitration panel shall have the
discretion to include in its decision a direction that all or part of the
attorneys' fees and costs of any party or parties and/or the costs of such
arbitration be paid by any other party or parties. On the application of a party
before or after the initial decision of the arbitration panel, and proof of its
attorneys' fees and costs, the arbitration panel shall order the other party to
make any payments directed pursuant to the preceding sentence.

                           (5)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained above in this Section 16.2, if either party fails to select a
Qualified Individual to act as an arbitrator for such party with the fifteen
(15) day time period set forth in the first sentence of Section 16.2(2), the
Qualified Individual selected by the other party shall serve as sole arbitrator
under this Section 16.2 in lieu of the arbitration panel. Such sole arbitrator
shall have all of the rights and duties of the arbitration panel set forth above
in this Section 16.2.

         Section 16.3      Binding Character

         Any decision rendered by the arbitration panel pursuant to this Article
16 shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and judgment thereon may be
entered by any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction

         Section 16.4      Exclusivity

         Arbitration shall be the exclusive method available for resolution of

                           CAPITAL ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE

1.       Capital Accounts of the Partners

         A.       The Partnership shall maintain for each Partner a separate
                  Capital Account in accordance with the rules of Regulations
                  Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Such Capital Account shall be
                  increased by (i) the amount of all Capital Contributions made
                  by such Partner to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement
                  and (ii) such Partner's share of Net Income allocated to such
                  Partner pursuant to Section 6.1.A of the Agreement, all items
                  of Partnership income and gain allocated to such Partner
                  pursuant to Section 6.3 of the Agreement, and all items of
                  Partnership income and gain (including income and gain exempt
                  from tax) computed in accordance with Section 1.B hereof and
                  allocated to such Partner pursuant to Exhibit C hereof, and
                  decreased by (x) the amount of cash or Net Asset Value of all
                  actual and deemed distributions of cash or property made to
                  such Partner pursuant to this Agreement and (y) such Partner's
                  share of Net Loss allocated to such Partner pursuant to
                  Section 6.1.A of the Agreement, all items of Partnership
                  deduction and loss allocated to such Partner pursuant to
                  Section 6.3 of the Agreement, and all items of Partnership
                  deduction and loss computed in accordance with Section 1.B
                  hereof and allocated to such Partner pursuant to Exhibit C
                  hereof.

         B.       For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income,
                  gain, deduction or loss to be reflected in the Partners'
                  Capital Accounts, unless otherwise specified in this
                  Agreement, the determination, recognition and classification
                  of any such item shall be the same as its determination,
                  recognition and classification for federal income tax purposes
                  determined in accordance with Section 703(a) of the Code (for
                  this purpose all items of income, gain, loss or deduction
                  required to be stated separately pursuant to Section 703(a)(l)
                  of the Code shall be included in taxable income or loss), with
                  the following adjustments:

                  (1)      Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section
                           1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the computation of all items of
                           income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made
                           without regard to any election under Section 754 of
                           the Code which may be made by the Partnership,
                           provided that the amounts of any adjustments to the
                           adjusted bases of the assets of the Partnership made
                           pursuant to Section 734 of the Code as a result of
                           the distribution of property by the Partnership to a
                           Partner (to the extent that such adjustments have not
                           previously been reflected in the Partners' Capital
                           Accounts) shall be reflected in the Capital Accounts
                           of the Partners in the manner and subject to the
                           limitations prescribed in Regulations Section
                           1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).

                  (2)      The computation of all items of income, gain, loss
                           and deduction shall be made without regard to the
                           fact that items described in Sections 705(a)(l)(B) or
                           705(a)(2)(B) of the Code are not includable in gross

                           capitalized for federal income tax purposes.

                  (3)      Any income, gain or loss attributable to the taxable
                           disposition of any Partnership property shall be
                           determined as if the adjusted basis of such property
                           as of such date of disposition were equal in amount
                           to the Partnership's Carrying Value with respect to
                           such property as of such date.

                  (4)      In lieu of the depreciation, amortization, and other
                           cost recovery deductions taken into account in
                           computing such taxable income or loss, there shall be
                           taken into account Depreciation for such fiscal year.

                  (5)      In the event the Carrying Value of any Partnership
                           Asset is adjusted pursuant to Section 1.D hereof, the
                           amount of any such adjustment shall be taken into
                           account as gain or loss from the disposition of such
                           asset.

                  (6)      Any items specially allocated under Section 2 of
                           Exhibit C hereof shall not be taken into account.

         C.       A transferee of a Partnership Interest shall succeed to a pro
                  rata portion of the Capital Account of the transferor.

         D.       (1)      Consistent with the provisions of Regulations Section
                           1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(f), and as provided in Section
                           1.D(2), the Carrying Values of all Partnership assets
                           shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any
                           Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to
                           such Partnership property, as of the times of the
                           adjustments provided in Section 1.D(2) hereof, as if
                           such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been
                           recognized on an actual sale of each such property
                           and allocated pursuant to Article 6 of the Agreement.

                  (2)      Such adjustments shall be made as of the following
                           times: (a) immediately prior to the acquisition of an
                           additional interest in the Partnership by any new or
                           existing Partner in exchange for more than a de
                           minimis Capital Contribution; (b) immediately prior
                           to the distribution by the Partnership to a Partner
                           of more than a de minimis amount of property as
                           consideration for an interest in the Partnership; and
                           (c) immediately prior to the liquidation of the
                           Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section
                           1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), provided however that
                           adjustments pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above
                           shall be made only if the General Partner determines
                           that such adjustments are necessary or appropriate to
                           reflect the relative economic interests of the
                           Partners in the Partnership.

                  (3)      In accordance with Regulations Section
                           1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) the Carrying Value of
                           Partnership assets distributed in kind shall be
                           adjusted upward and downward to reflect any
                           Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to
                           such Partnership property, as of the time any such
                           asset is distributed, as if such Unrealized Gain or
                           Unrealized Loss had been

                           recognized on an actual sale of such Partnership
                           property and allocated pursuant to Article 6 of the
                           Agreement.

                  (4)      In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized
                           Loss the aggregate cash amount and fair market value
                           of all Partnership assets (including cash or cash
                           equivalents) shall be determined by the General
                           Partner using such reasonable method of valuation as
                           it may adopt, or in the case of a liquidating
                           distribution pursuant to Article 13 of the Agreement,
                           be determined and allocated by the Liquidator using
                           such reasonable methods of valuation as it may adopt.
                           The General Partner, or the Liquidator, as the case
                           may be, shall allocate such aggregate value among the
                           assets of the Partnership (in such manner as it
                           determines in its sole and absolute discretion to
                           arrive at a fair market value for individual
                           properties).

         E.       The provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance
of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)
and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such
Regulations. In the event the General Partner shall determine that it is prudent
to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits
thereto (including, without limitation, debits or credits relating to
liabilities which are secured by contributed or distributed property or which
are assumed by the Partnership, the General Partner, or the Limited Partners)
are computed in order to comply with such Regulations, the General Partner may
make such modification, provided that it is not likely to have a material effect
on the amounts distributable to any Person pursuant to Article 13 of the
Agreement upon the dissolution of the Partnership. The General Partner also
shall (i) make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain
equality between the Capital Accounts of the Partners and the amount of
Partnership capital reflected on the Partnership's balance sheet, as computed
for book purposes, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q),
and (ii) make any appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events
might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Regulations Section
1.704-1(b).

                          SPECIAL TAX ALLOCATION RULES

1.       Special Allocation Rules.

         Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or this Exhibit C,
the following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

         A.       Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding the provisions of
                  Article 6 of the Agreement or any other provisions of this
                  Exhibit C, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum
                  Gain during any fiscal year (except as a result of certain
                  conversions and refinancings of Partnership indebtedness,
                  certain capital contributions, or certain revaluations of the
                  Partnership property as further described in Regulations
                  Sections 1.704-2(d)(4), 1.704-2(f)(2) or 1.704-2(f)(3)), 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, as determined under
                  Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the
                  previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the
                  respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner
                  pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be
                  determined in accordance with Regulations Sections
                  1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 1.A is intended
                  to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in
                  Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and for purposes of this
                  Section 1.A. only, each Partner's Adjusted Capital Account
                  Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations
                  pursuant to Article 6 of the Agreement with respect to such
                  fiscal year and without regard to any decrease in Partner
                  Minimum Gain during such fiscal year.

         B.       Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other
                  provision of Article 6 of the Agreement or any other
                  provisions of this Exhibit C (except Section 1.A hereof), if
                  there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable
                  to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any fiscal year (except
                  as a result of certain conversions and refinancings of
                  Partnership indebtedness, certain capital contributions, or
                  certain revaluations of the Partnership property as further
                  described in Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(3) and
                  1.704-2(i)(4)), each Partner who has a share of the Partner
                  Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt,
                  determined in accordance with Regulations Section
                  1.704-2(i)(5), 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 Partner Minimum Gain attributable to
                  such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with
                  Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5). Allocations pursuant to the
                  previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the
                  respective amounts required to be allocated to each General
                  Partner and Limited Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be
                  so allocated shall be determined in accordance with
                  Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This
                  Section 1.B is intended to comply with the minimum gain
                  chargeback

                  requirement in such Section of the Regulations and shall be
                  interpreted consistently therewith. Solely for purposes of
                  this Section 1.B, each partner's Adjusted Capital Account
                  Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations
                  pursuant to Article 6 of the Agreement or this Exhibit with
                  respect to such fiscal year, other than allocations pursuant
                  to Section 1.A hereof.

         C.       Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly
                  receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions
                  described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4),
                  1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), and after
                  giving effect to the allocations required under Sections 1.A
                  and 1.B hereof, such Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account
                  Deficit, items of Partnership income and gain shall be
                  specifically allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner
                  sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the
                  Regulations, its Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by
                  such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as
                  possible. This Section 1.C is intended to constitute a
                  "qualified income offset" under Regulation Section
                  1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently
                  therewith.

         D.       Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable
                  period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with
                  their respective Partnership Interests. If the General Partner
                  determines in its good faith discretion that the Partnership's
                  Nonrecourse Deductions must be allocated in a different ratio
                  to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the Regulations
                  promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the General
                  Partner is authorized, upon notice to the Limited Partners, to
                  revise the prescribed ratio to the numerically closest ratio
                  which does satisfy such requirements.

         E.       Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse
                  Deductions for any fiscal year shall be specially allocated to
                  the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect
                  to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner
                  Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with
                  Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b)(4) and 1.704-2(i).

         F.       Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to
                  the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to
                  Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to
                  Regulations Section l .704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), 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
                  item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the
                  Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their
                  Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such
                  Section of the Regulations.

         G.       Sections 1245/1250 Recapture. If any portion of gain from the
                  sale of property is treated as Recapture Income, such
                  Recapture Income shall be allocated among the Partners in
                  accordance with the provisions of Regulations Sections
                  1.1245-1(e) and 1.1250-1(f).

         H.       Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 1.C
                  of this Exhibit C (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended
                  to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations
                  promulgated under Section 704 of the Code. The Regulatory
                  Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Net
                  Income, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss and
                  deduction to each Partner so that, to the extent possible, and
                  to the extent permitted by the Regulations, the cumulative
                  allocations of Net Income, Net Losses and other items and the
                  Regulatory Allocations to each Partner shall be equal to the
                  net amount that would have been allocated to each Partner if
                  the Regulatory Allocations had not been made.

2.       Allocations for Tax Purposes

         A.       Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, for federal
                  income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and
                  deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in the same
                  manner as its correlative item of "book" income, gain, loss or
                  deduction is allocated pursuant to Article 6 of the Agreement
                  and Section 1 of this Exhibit C.

         B.       Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in an
                  attempt to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities attributable to a
                  Contributed Property or Adjusted Property, items of income,
                  gain, loss, and deduction shall be allocated for federal
                  income tax purposes (and not for "book" purposes) among the
                  Partners as follows:

                  (1)      (a)      In the case of a Contributed Property, such
                           items attributable thereto shall be allocated among
                           the Partners consistent with the principles of
                           Section 704(c) of the Code that takes into account
                           the variation between the Gross Asset Value of such
                           property and its adjusted basis at the time of
                           contribution; and

                           (b)      any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss
                           attributable to a Contributed Property shall be
                           allocated among the Partners in the same manner as
                           its correlative item of "book" gain or loss is
                           allocated pursuant to Article 6 of the Agreement and
                           Section 1 of this Exhibit C.

                  (2)      (a)      In the case of an Adjusted Property, such
                           items shall

                                    (1)      first, be allocated among the
                                    Partners in a manner consistent with the
                                    principles of Section 704(c) of the Code to
                                    take into account the Unrealized Gain or
                                    Unrealized Loss attributable to such
                                    property and the allocations thereof
                                    pursuant to Exhibit B and

                                    (2)      second, in the event such property
                                    was originally a Contributed Property, be
                                    allocated among the Partners in a manner
                                    consistent with Section 2.B.(1) of this
                                    Exhibit C; and

                           (b)      any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss
                           attributable to an Adjusted Property shall be
                           allocated among the Partners in the same

                                       C-3
<PAGE>

                           manner as its correlative item of "book" gain or loss
                           is allocated pursuant to Article 6 of the Agreement
                           and Section 1 of this Exhibit C.

                  (3)      all other items of income, gain, loss and deduction
                           shall be allocated among the Partners in the same
                           manner as their correlative item of "book" gain or
                           loss is allocated pursuant to Article 6 of the
                           Agreement and Section 1 of this Exhibit C.

         C.       For purposes of Sections 2.B(1)(a) and 2.B(2)(a) of this
                  Exhibit C, the General Partner shall utilize the "traditional
                  method with curative allocations" option described in
                  Regulations Section 1.704-3(c) to eliminate Book-Tax
                  Disparities attributable to a Contributed Property or Adjusted
                  Property; provided, however, that curative allocations with
                  respect to a Contributed Property or Adjusted Property shall
                  only be made (i) to the extent necessary to offset the effect
                  of the "ceiling rule" described in Regulations Section
                  1.704-3(b)(1) on allocations of depreciation deductions with
                  respect to such Contributed Property or Adjusted Property, and
                  (ii) from the allocation of gain (or loss) on the sale or
                  other disposition of such Contributed Property or Adjusted
                  Property, up to the amount of such gain (or loss). This
                  curative allocation provision is intended to comply with
                  Regulations Section 1.704-3(c)(3)(iii)(B).

         D.       Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of Section
                  2.B(l)(a) of this Exhibit C, the General Partner shall have
                  the right to utilize the "remedial allocation method"
                  described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(d) to eliminate
                  Book-Tax Disparities attributable to the contribution to the
                  Partnership of the Canyon Ranch Property specified in the
                  Canyon Contribution Agreement. For purposes of determining the
                  amount of book depreciation with respect to the Canyon Ranch
                  Property as described under Regulations Section 1.704-3(d)(2),
                  the excess of book basis over tax basis with respect to the
                  Canyon Ranch Property shall be allocated twenty-four percent
                  (24%) to nondepreciable land and seventy-six percent (76%) to
                  depreciable buildings. The seventy-six percent (76%) allocated
                  to buildings shall be depreciated using the straight-line
                  method over thirty-nine (39) years. In no case shall the
                  General Partner amend this Agreement to provide for an
                  allocation of phantom income to Canyon Ranch to take into
                  account the difference between the book value of the Canyon
                  Ranch Property and its basis except as provided in this
                  Section 2.C of Exhibit C or unless otherwise agreed to by
                  Canyon Ranch in writing.

         E.       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
                  Section 2.C, for purposes of Section 2.B(1)(a) of this Exhibit
                  C, the General Partner shall have the authority, in its sole
                  and absolute discretion, to elect the method to be used under
                  Regulations Section 1.704-3 to take into account the variation
                  between the fair market value and the adjusted tax basis of
                  that certain Agreement of Sale dated May 30, 1997 by and
                  between Rosewood Georgetown Joint Venture, a Texas joint
                  venture, as seller, and Lano International, Inc., a Delaware
                  corporation, and Armada/Hoffler Holding Company, a Virginia
                  corporation, as purchaser.

3.       General Partner Allocation.

         Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the interests
(including limited partnership interests) of the General Partner in each
material item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be
equal to at least one percent (1%) of each such item at all times during the
existence of the Partnership (except as otherwise required under Sections 704(b)
or 704(c) or the special allocations provided for in Section 1 of this Exhibit
C).

                        TO THE THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
                        AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                                       OF
                CRESCENT REAL ESTATE EQUITIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

         THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF CRESCENT REAL ESTATE EQUITIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, dated
as of September 9, 2003, is entered into by Crescent Real Estate Equities, Ltd.,
a Delaware corporation, on its own behalf as sole general partner (the "General
Partner") of Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited Partnership, a Delaware

      1. The following new definitions are hereby added to Article I of the
Effective Agreement:

                  "Deferred Distribution Amount" of a Grantee as of a particular
            date means the payment, if any, due to the Grantee under the last
            sentence of Section 4.9.G as of such date (or, to the extent that

<PAGE>

            a portion of a Grantee's Partnership Interest is unvested, the
            payment, if any, that would be due to the Grantee under the last
            sentence of Section 4.9.G if the Partnership Interest were vested as
            of such date).

                  "Grant Agreement(s)" has the meaning set forth in Section
            4.9.A hereof.

                  "Grantee(s)" has the meaning set forth in Section 4.9.A
            hereof.

                  "High Performance Plan" has the meaning set forth in Section
            4.9.A hereof.

2. The following new Section 4.9 is hereby added to the Effective Agreement:

            Section 4.9 Issuance of Partnership Interests to Employees of the
                        Crescent Group

                  A. Pursuant to Section 4.7.D of the Agreement, the Partnership
            has adopted that certain 2004 Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited
            Partnership Special High Performance Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
            "High Performance Plan"). Under the High Performance Plan, the
            Partnership has issued (and may from time to time in the future
            issue) Partnership Interests, including Partnership Units, to
            certain officers of the General Partner (hereinafter referred to
            individually as a "Grantee" and collectively as the "Grantees")
            pursuant to separate grant agreements entitled "Grant Agreement for
            Partnership Units and Partnership Interest" between the Partnership
            and each Grantee (hereinafter referred to individually as a "Grant
            Agreement" and collectively as the "Grant Agreements").

                  B. The Partnership Interests and associated Partnership Units
            issued to the Grantees shall have the same benefits and obligations
            as other Partnership Interests and associated Partnership Units,
            including without limitation voting rights and distribution rights,
            except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or the
            Grant Agreements.

                  C. Grantees may be subject to certain vesting requirements
            under the Grant Agreements.

                  D. Grantees may be subject to certain conditions on the
            exercise of Exchange Rights with respect to their Partnership Units
            under the Grant Agreements.

                  E. Grantees may be subject to certain limitations on the
            amount payable to the Grantees in connection with a transaction
            described in Section 11.2.B(1) under the Grant Agreements.

                                       4
<PAGE>

                  F. Unless otherwise provided in the Grant Agreement, the
            initial Capital Contribution and initial Capital Account balance of
            each Grantee with respect to the Partnership Interest awarded under
            the Grant Agreement shall be zero.

                  G. Each Grantee shall be entitled to receive distributions in
            accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including without
            limitation Article V and Section 13.2) with respect to the vested
            portion of his or her Partnership Interest, commencing as of the
            date on which the portion of the Partnership Interest is vested. A
            Grantee shall not be entitled to receive cash or in-kind
            distributions under Section 5.2 with respect to the unvested portion
            of his or her Partnership Interest. Upon the vesting of a Grantee's
            Partnership Interest (or portion thereof), including without
            limitation a vesting that occurs in connection with a transaction
            described in Section 11.2.B hereof or a dissolution of the
            Partnership, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive a distribution
            from the Partnership in an amount equal to the aggregate
            distributions that would have been payable to the Grantee under
            Section 5.2 with respect to such Partnership Interest (or portion
            thereof) during the period from the date of grant to the vesting
            date if such Partnership Interest (or portion thereof) had been
            vested on the date of grant.

                  H. Each Grantee shall be allocated items of Partnership
            income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to his or her
            Partnership Interest in accordance with the provisions of Article
            VI, commencing as of the date on which the grant of the Partnership
            Interest is made to the Grantee. If the unvested portion of a
            Grantee's Partnership Interest expires pursuant to the terms of the
            Grant Agreement or is disclaimed by the Grantee, (1) the Grantee
            shall be allocated items of gross deduction and loss in the taxable
            year during which such expiration or disclaimer occurs in an amount
            sufficient to reduce to zero the Capital Account allocable to the
            portion of the Grantee's Partnership Interest that has expired or
            been disclaimed, and (2) the Grantee shall be allocated no other
            items of Partnership income, gain, loss and deduction for such
            taxable year or any future taxable year with respect to the expired
            or disclaimed portion of his or her Partnership Interest. An expired
            or disclaimed Partnership Interest shall be treated for all purposes
            of this Agreement as if it had been redeemed by the Partnership for
            no consideration, effective as of the expiration or disclaimer date,
            as the case may be.

                  I. The General Partner may (but shall not be required to) make
            tax distributions to the Grantees with respect to the unvested
            portions of their Partnership Interests. Any tax distributions to a
            Grantee with respect to a particular taxable year shall not exceed
            the lesser of (1) an amount equal to the product of (x) the net
            taxable income allocated to such Grantee with respect to his or her
            unvested

                                       5
<PAGE>

            Partnership Interest for such taxable year multiplied by forty-five
            percent, and (2) the amount of distributions that the Grantee would
            have received under Article V if his Partnership Interest were
            vested. Any tax distributions shall be made to the Grantees on a pro
            rata basis, in proportion to the respective unvested Partnership
            Interests owned by each of the Grantees. Tax distributions made
            under this Section 4.9.I shall be treated as advance payments of the
            amounts that are distributable to the Grantees under the other
            provisions of this Agreement and shall be offset against any such
            other amounts distributable to the Grantees.

                  J. Upon any admission of a Grantee as an additional Limited
            Partner pursuant to this Section 4.9, the General Partner's
            Partnership Interest shall remain unchanged, and the Partnership
            Interests of Crescent Equities and the other Limited Partners shall
            be adjusted as set forth in Section 4.3; provided that, (1) for
            purposes of calculating the "Deemed Value of the Partnership" and
            the "Deemed Partnership Interest Value" under Section 4.3, the
            "Value" of a REIT Share shall be the "closing price" (as such term
            is defined in the definition of the term "Value" in Article I
            hereof) of a REIT Share as of the date on which the grant of the
            Partnership Interest is made to the Grantee, and (2) the denominator
            used in the calculations under Section 4.3 shall be the sum of (i)
            the Deemed Value of the Partnership plus (ii) an amount equal to the
            product of (x) the number of Partnership Units granted to the
            Grantee, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Factor, multiplied by (z)
            the "closing price" (as such term is defined in the definition of
            the term "Value" in Article I hereof) of a REIT Share on the date on
            which the grant of the Partnership Interest is made to the Grantee.

                  K. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
            penultimate sentence of Section 12.2B, each Grantee that receives a
            Partnership Interest under this Section 4.9 during December 2004
            shall receive allocations under the second sentence of Section 12.2B
            as if such Grantee had been admitted on the first day of December,
            2004.

                  L. The Partnership Interests and associated Partnership Units
            issued to Grantees shall be identified in Exhibit A to this
            Agreement.

                  M. In addition to obtaining any required consent of the
            Grantees as Limited Partners to certain amendments of the Agreement
            pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.1.C, the General Partner
            shall be required to obtain the prior written consent of each
            Grantee adversely affected prior to amending the provisions of this
            Section 4.9 or the provisions of Section 1.D of Exhibit B.
