        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby enter into this Agreement in its entirety and agree to continue the Partnership as a limited partnership under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited

statute. 


        "Additional

the Partnership. 


        "Adjusted

obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and
1.704-2(i)(5) and (ii) decreased by the items described in Regulations Sections1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) and
1.704-l(b)(2)(ii) (d)(6).The foregoing definition of Adjusted Capital Account is intended to comply with the provisions of Regulations
Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 


        "Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit" means, with respect to any Partner, the deficit balance, if any, in such Partner's Adjusted Capital Account as of the end of the relevant Partnership
Year. 


        "Adjusted
Property" means any property the Carrying Value of which has been adjusted pursuant to Exhibit B hereto. 


        "Adjustment
Date" has the meaning set forth in Section 4.02.B hereof.

voting interests or (iv) any officer, director, general partner or trustee of such Person or any Person referred to in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) above. For purposes of this
definition, "control," when used with respect to any Person, means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting
securities, by contract or otherwise, and the terms "controlling" and "controlled" have meanings correlative to the foregoing. 


        "Agreed
Value" means (i) in the case of any Contributed Property, the 704(c) Value of such property as of the time of its contribution to the Partnership, reduced by any
liabilities either assumed 







 



by
the Partnership upon such contribution or to which such property is subject when contributed; and (ii) in the case of any property distributed to a Partner by the Partnership, the
Partnership's Carrying Value of such property at the time such property is distributed, reduced by any indebtedness either assumed by such Partner upon such distribution or to which such property is
subject at the time of distribution as determined under Section 752 of the Code and the Regulations thereunder.

Value of such Contributed Property or Adjusted Property and the adjusted basis thereof for federal income tax purposes as of such date. A Partner's share of the Partnership's Book-Tax
Disparities in all of its Contributed Property and Adjusted Property will be reflected by the difference between such Partner's Capital Account balance as maintained pursuant to Exhibit B
hereto and the hypothetical balance of such Partner's Capital Account computed as if it had been maintained, with respect to each such Contributed Property or Adjusted Property, strictly in accordance
with federal income tax accounting principles.

such property for federal income tax purposes, all as of the time of determination. The Carrying Value of any property shall be adjusted from time to time in accordance with Exhibit B hereto,
and to reflect changes, additions or other adjustments to the Carrying Value for dispositions and acquisitions of Partnership properties, as deemed appropriate by the General Partner.

Amount" means an amount of cash equal to the Value on the Valuation Date of the Shares Amount. 


        "Certificate"

means the consent or approval of a proposed action by a Partner given in accordance with Section 14.02 hereof. 


        "Contributed
Property" means each property or other asset contributed to the Partnership, in such form as may be permitted by the Act, but excluding cash contributed or deemed
contributed to the Partnership. Once the Carrying Value of a Contributed Property is adjusted pursuant to Exhibit B hereto, such property shall no longer constitute a Contributed Property for
purposes of Exhibit B hereto, but shall be deemed an Adjusted Property for such purposes. 



        "Conversion
Factor" means 1.0; provided that in the event that the General Partner Entity (i) declares or pays a dividend on its
outstanding Shares in Shares or makes a distribution to all holders of its outstanding Shares in Shares, (ii) subdivides its outstanding Shares or (iii) combines its outstanding Shares
into a smaller number of Shares, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Factor by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares issued and outstanding
on the record date for such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination (assuming for such purposes that such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination has occurred as of such time)
and the denominator of which shall be the actual number of Shares(determined without the above assumption) issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution,
subdivision or combination; and provided, further that in the event that an entity shall cease to be the
General Partner Entity (the "Predecessor Entity") and another entity shall become the General Partner Entity (the "Successor Entity"), the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the
Conversion Factor by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Value of one share of the Predecessor Entity, determined as of the time immediately prior to when the Successor Entity becomes the
General Partner Entity, and the denominator of which is the Value of one Share of the Successor Entity determined as of that same date. For purposes of the second proviso in the preceding sentence, in
the event that any stockholders of the Predecessor Entity will receive consideration in connection with the transaction in which the Successor Entity becomes the General Partner Entity, the numerator
in the fraction described above for determining the adjustment to the Conversion Factor(that is, the Value of one Share of the Predecessor Entity) shall be the sum of the greatest amount of cash and
the fair market value of any securities and other consideration that the holder of one Share in the Predecessor Entity could have received in such transaction (determined without regard to any
provisions governing fractional shares). Any adjustment to the Conversion Factor shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for
the event giving rise thereto; it being intended that (x) adjustments to the Conversion Factor are to be made in order to avoid unintended dilution or anti-dilution as a result of
transactions in which Shares are issued, redeemed or exchanged without a corresponding issuance, redemption or exchange of Partnership Units and (y) if a Specified Redemption Date shall fall
between the record date and the effective date of any event of the type described above, that the Conversion Factor applicable to such redemption shall be adjusted to take into account such event. 


        "Debt"
means, as to any Person, as of any date of determination, (i) all indebtedness of such Person for borrowed money or for the deferred purchase price of property or services,
(ii) all amounts owed by such Person to banks or other Persons in respect of reimbursement obligations under letters of credit, surety bonds and other similar instruments guaranteeing payment
or other performance of obligations by such Person, (iii) all indebtedness for borrowed money or for the deferred purchase price of property or services secured by any lien on any property
owned by such Person, to the extent attributable to such Person's interest in such property, even though such Person has not assumed or become liable for the payment thereof, and
(iv) obligations of such Person incurred in connection with 


3







 



entering
into a lease which, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, should be capitalized.

means, for each fiscal year, an amount equal to the federal income tax depreciation, amortization, or other cost recovery deduction allowable with respect to an asset for
such year, except that if the Carrying Value of an asset differs from its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes at the beginning of such year or other period, Depreciation shall be an amount
which bears the same ratio to such beginning Carrying Value as the federal income tax depreciation, amortization, or other cost recovery deduction for such year bears to such beginning adjusted tax
basis; provided, however, that if the federal income tax depreciation, amortization, or other cost
recovery deduction for such year is zero, Depreciation shall be determined with reference to such beginning Carrying Value using any reasonable method selected by the General Partner. 


        "Effective
Date" means the date of the closing of the General Partner's initial public offering. 


        "ERISA"

Traded, the term "General Partner Entity" shall refer to such entity whose shares of common stock (or other comparable equity securities) are Publicly Traded. If both requirements set forth in clauses
(i) and (ii) above are not satisfied, then the term "General Partner Entity" shall mean the General Partner.

were sold to an unrelated purchaser in an arms' length transaction where neither the purchaser nor the seller were under economic compulsion to enter into the transaction (without regard to any
discount in value as a result of the Partnership's minority interest in any property or any illiquidity of the Partnership's interest in any property). In connection with determining the value of the
Partnership Interest for purposes of determining the number of additional Partnership Units issuable upon a Capital Contribution funded by an underwritten public offering of shares of capital stock
(or other comparable equity interest) of the General Partner, the Value of such shares shall be the public offering price per share of such class of the capital stock (or other comparable equity
interest) sold.

        Section 4.01.    Capital Contributions of the Partners    


        A.    Capital Contributions.    On the Effective Date, certain Partners will make Capital Contributions to the
Partnership. On the Effective Date, the General Partner will complete Exhibit A hereto to reflect the Capital Contributions made by each Partner, the Partnership Units assigned to each Partner
and the Percentage Interest in the Partnership represented by such Partnership Units. The Capital Accounts of the Partners and the Carrying Values of the Partnership's Assets shall be determined as of
the Effective Date pursuant to Section I.D of Exhibit B hereto to reflect the Capital Contributions made on the Effective Date. 


        B.    General Partnership Interest.    A number of Partnership Units held by the General Partner equal to one percent
(1%) of all outstanding Partnership Units shall be deemed to be the General Partnership Interest. All other Partnership Units held by the General Partner shall be deemed to be Limited Partnership
Interests and shall be held by the General Partner in its capacity as a Limited Partner in the Partnership. 



        C.    Capital Contributions By Merger.    To the extent the Partnership acquires any property by the merger of any
other Person into the Partnership, Persons who receive Partnership Interests in exchange for their interests in the Person merging into the Partnership shall become Partners and shall be deemed to
have made Capital Contributions as provided in the applicable merger agreement and as set forth in Exhibit A hereto. 


        D.    No Obligation to Make Additional Capital Contributions.    Except as provided in Sections 7.05 and 10.05 hereof,
the Partners shall have no obligation to make any additional Capital Contributions or provide any additional funding to the Partnership (whether in the form of loans, repayments of loans or
otherwise). No Partner shall have any obligation to restore any deficit that may exist in its Capital Account, either upon a liquidation of the Partnership or otherwise. 


        Section 4.02.    Issuances of Partnership Interests    


        A.    General.    The General Partner is hereby authorized to cause the Partnership from time to time to issue to
Partners (including the General Partner and its Affiliates) or other Persons (including, without limitation, in connection with the contribution of property to the Partnership) Partnership Units or
other Partnership Interests in one or more classes, or in one or more series of any of such classes, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights,
powers and duties, including rights, powers and duties senior to Limited Partnership Interests, all as shall be determined, subject to applicable Delaware law, by the General Partner in its sole and
absolute discretion, including, without limitation, (i) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to each such class or series of Partnership Interests,
(ii) the right of each such class or series of Partnership Interests to share in Partnership distributions and (iii)the rights of each such class or series of Partnership Interests upon
dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; provided, that no such Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests shall be issued to the General
Partner unless either (a) the Partnership Interests are issued in connection with the grant, award or issuance of Shares or other equity interests in the General Partner having designations,
preferences and other rights such that the economic interests attributable to such Shares or other equity interests are substantially similar to the designations, preferences and other rights (except
voting rights) of the additional Partnership Interests issued to the General Partner in accordance with this Section 4.02.A or (b) the Partnership Interests are issued to all Partners
holding Partnership Interests in the same class in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in such class. In the event that the Partnership issues Partnership Interests pursuant to this
Section 4.02.A, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Agreement (including but not limited to the revisions described in Section 5.04, Section 6.02 and 


12







 

Section 8.06
hereof) as it deems necessary to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests. 


        B.    Percentage Interest Adjustments in the Case of Capital Contributions for Class A Units.    Upon the
acceptance of additional Capital Contributions in exchange for Class A Units, the Percentage Interest related thereto shall be equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount
of cash, if any, plus the Agreed Value of Contributed Property, if any, contributed with respect to such additional Partnership Units and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of
(i) value of the Partnership Interests for all outstanding Class A Units (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the additional Capital Contributions are
made (an "Adjustment Date")) plus (ii) the aggregate amount of additional Capital Contributions contributed to the Partnership on such Adjustment Date in respect of such additional
Class A Units. The Percentage Interest of each other Partner holding Class A Units not making a full pro rata Capital Contribution shall be adjusted to a fraction the numerator of which
is equal to the sum of (i) the value of such Limited Partner (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the Adjustment Date) plus (ii) the amount of additional
Capital Contributions (such amount being equal to the amount of cash, if any, plus the Agreed Value of Contributed Property, if any, so contributed), if any, made by such Partner to the Partnership in
respect of such Class A Units as of such Adjustment Date and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (i) the value of the outstanding Class A Units (computed as of the
Business Day immediately preceding such Adjustment Date) plus (ii) the aggregate amount of the additional Capital Contributions contributed to the Partnership on such Adjustment Date in respect
of such additional Class A Units. For purposes of calculating a Partner's Percentage Interest of Class A Units pursuant to this Section 4.02.B, cash Capital Contributions by the
General Partner will be deemed to equal the cash contributed by the General Partner plus (a) in the case of cash contributions funded by an offering of any equity interests in or other
securities of the General Partner, the offering costs attributable to the cash contributed to the Partnership, and (b) in the case of Class A Units issued pursuant to
Section 7.05.E hereof, an amount equal to the difference between the Value of the Shares sold pursuant to any Stock Option Plan and the net proceeds of such sale. 


        C.    Classes of Partnership Units.    From and after the Effective Date, subject to Section 4.02.A above, the
Partnership shall have two classes of Partnership Units, entitled "Class A Units" and "Class B Units." Class A Units may be issued to newly admitted Partners in exchange for the
contribution by such Partners of cash, real estate partnership interests, stock, notes or other assets or consideration. 


        D.    Issuance of Class B Units.    On the Effective Date, the General Partner shall
issue                        
Class B Units to the Manager. The Manager will immediately assign            of such Units to SL Green, which assignment is reflected on  Exhibit A. There is no obligation to contribute any capital in connection until issuance of the Class B Units. The initial Capital
Accounts of the Holders of the Class B Units in respect of such Units shall be zero. 


        Section 4.03.    No Preemptive Rights    


        Except
to the extent expressly granted by the Partnership pursuant to another agreement, no Person shall have any preemptive, preferential or other similar right with respect to
(i) additional Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership or (ii) issuance or sale of any Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests. 


        Section 4.04.    Other Contribution Provisions    



        In
the event that any Partner is admitted to the Partnership and is given a Capital Account in exchange for services rendered to the Partnership, such transaction shall be treated by the
Partnership and the affected Partner as if the Partnership had compensated such Partner in cash, and the Partner had contributed such cash to the capital of the Partnership. 


13







 

        Section 4.05.    No Interest on Capital    


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

 DISTRIBUTIONS  


        Section 5.01.    Requirement and Characterization of Distributions    



        A.    General.    Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall make distributions at such times and
in such amounts as it may determine. Such distributions shall be made to the Partners who are Partners on the Partnership Record Date for such distribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, in no event may a Partner receive a distribution with respect to a Partnership Unit for a quarter or shorter period if such Partner is entitled to receive a distribution relating to
such period with respect to a Share for which such Partnership Unit has been redeemed or exchanged. Unless otherwise expressly provided for herein or in an agreement at the time a new class of
Partnership Interests is created in accordance with Article IV hereof, no Partnership Interest shall be entitled to a distribution in preference to any other Partnership Interest. The General
Partner shall make such reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion and consistent with the qualification of the General Partner Entity as a REIT, to make distributions
(a) to Limited Partners so as to preclude any such distribution or portion thereof from being treated as part of a sale of property by a Limited Partner under Section 707 Code or the
Regulations thereunder; provided that, the General Partner and the Partnership shall not have liability to a Limited Partner under any circumstances as
a result of any distribution to a Limited Partner being so treated, and (b) to the General Partner in an amount sufficient to enable the General Partner Entity to pay stockholder dividends that
will (1) satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code and the Regulations (the "REIT Requirements") and (2) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability for
the General Partner Entity. 


        B.    Method.    Distributions shall be made (i) first, to the holders of Class B Units as provided in
Section 5.01C hereof, and to each other holder of a Partnership Interest that is entitled to any preference in distribution, in accordance with the rights of any such class of Partnership
Interests, and (ii) thereafter, to the holders of Class A Units. All distributions within a class of Units shall be pro rata in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests on the
applicable Partnership Record Date. 


        C.    Distributions When Class B Units Are Outstanding.    Holders of Class B Units shall receive
quarterly distributions for each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) in an aggregate amount equal to 25% of
the amount, if any, by which (i) the sum of Funds from Operations plus any gains (or losses) from debt restructuring or property sales exceeds (ii) the product of the Partnership's
weighted average Stockholders Equity multiplied by 2.375% (such percentage to be prorated for any partial quarter). These distributions shall be paid to Holders of Class B Units within
45 days after the end of each quarter. These distributions shall be recalculated at the end of each calendar year beginning with 2004, as 25% of the amount by which (A) annual Fund from
Operations plus any gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and gains (or losses) or property sales for such calendar year (or part thereof) exceeds (B) the Partnership's weighted average
Stockholders Equity for such year multiplied by 9.5% (such percentage to be prorated for any partial year). To the extent quarterly distributions exceed the annual recalculated amount, the Holders of
Class B Units shall refund the excess to the Partnership, and to the extent the annual recalculated amount exceeds the quarterly distributions made for such year, such excess shall be paid by
the Partnership to such Holders within 90 days after the end of such calendar year. 


        Section 5.02.    Amounts Withheld    



        All
amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any state or local tax law and Section 10.05 hereof with respect to any allocation, payment or distribution to the
General Partner, the 


14







 

Limited
Partners or Assignees shall be treated as amounts distributed to the General Partner, Limited Partners or Assignees pursuant to Section 5.01 above for all purposes under this Agreement. 


        Section 5.03.    Distributions Upon Liquidation    


        Proceeds
from a Terminating Capital Transaction shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section 13.02 hereof. 


        Section 5.04.    Revisions to Reflect Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests    


        In
the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Interests to the General Partner or any Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Article IV hereof, the General
Partner shall make such revisions to this Article V as it deems necessary to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests. Such revisions shall not require the consent or
approval of any other Partner. 


ARTICLE VI

distributions theretofore received (or to be received with respect to the fiscal year of the Partnership in which such Net Income accrues) with respect to such Partnership Interests pursuant to
clause (i) of Section 5.01.B hereof and the amount of any prior allocations of Net Losses to such class of Partnership Interests pursuant to Section 6.01.B.(i) below (and,
within such class, pro rata in proportion to the respective interests in such class as of the last day of the period for which such allocation is being made) and (iii) third, with respect to
Partnership Interests that are not entitled to any preference in the allocation of Net Income, pro rata to each such class in accordance with the terms of such class (and, within such class, pro rata
in proportion to the respective interests in such class as of the last day of the period for which such allocation is being made). 


        B.    Net Losses.    After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 1 of Exhibit C

accordance with the rights of any such class of Partnership Interests to the extent that any prior allocations of Net Income to such class of Partnership Interests pursuant to
Section 6.01.A(1)(ii) above exceed, on a cumulative basis, distributions theretofore received (or to be received with respect to the fiscal year of the Partnership in which such Net
Income accrues) with respect to such Partnership Interests pursuant to clause (i) of Section 5.01.B hereof (and, within such class, pro rata in proportion to the respective interests in
such class as of the last day of the period for which such allocation is being made) and (ii) second, with respect to classes of Partnership Interests that are not entitled to any preference in
distribution, pro rata to each such class in accordance with the terms of such class (and, within such class, pro rata in proportion to the respective interests in such class as of the last day of the
period for which such allocation is being made); provided that, Net Losses shall not be allocated to any Limited 


15







 



Partner
pursuant to this Section 6.01.B to the extent that such allocation would cause such Limited Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit (or increase any existing Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit) at the end of such taxable year (or portion thereof). All Net Losses in excess of the limitations set forth in this Section 6.01.B shall be allocated to the General
Partner. 


        C.    Recapture Income.    Any gain allocated to the Partners upon the sale or other taxable disposition of any
Partnership asset shall, to the extent possible after taking into account other required allocations of gain pursuant to Exhibit C hereto, be characterized as Recapture Income in the same
proportions and to the same extent as such Partners have been allocated any deductions directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gains as Recapture Income. 


        Section 6.02.    Revisions to Allocations to Reflect Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests    In the
event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Interests to the General Partner or any Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Article IV hereof, the General Partner shall make such
revisions to this Article VI and Exhibit A as it deems necessary to reflect the terms of the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests, including making preferential allocations
to classes of Partnership Interests that are entitled thereto. Such revisions shall not require the consent or approval of any other Partner. 


ARTICLE VII

        Section 7.01.    Management    


        A.    Powers of General Partner.    Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all management powers

General Partner Entity to maintain REIT status, the assumption or guarantee of, or other contracting for, indebtedness and other liabilities, the issuance of evidences of indebtedness (including the
securing of same by mortgage, deed of trust or other lien or encumbrance on the Partnership's assets) and the incurring of any obligations the General Partner deems necessary for the conduct of the

acquisition of interests in, and the contributions of funds or property, or the making of loans, to its Subsidiaries and any other Person in which it has an equity investment from time to time or the
incurrence of indebtedness on behalf of such Persons or the guarantee of obligations of such Persons); provided that, as long as the General Partner has

        (13)
the control of any matters affecting the rights and obligations of the Partnership, including the settlement, compromise, submission to arbitration or any other form of dispute

        (18)
the making, executing and delivering of any and all deeds, leases, notes, deeds to secure debt, mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, conveyances, contracts, guarantees,
warranties, indemnities, waivers, releases or other legal instruments or agreements in writing necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the General Partner for the accomplishment of any of the
powers of the General Partner under this Agreement; 


        (19)
the distribution of cash to acquire Partnership Units held by a Limited Partner in connection with a Limited Partner's exercise of its Redemption Right under Section 8.06
hereof; and 


        (20)
the amendment and restatement of Exhibit A hereto to reflect accurately at all times the Capital Contributions and Percentage Interests of the Partners as the same are
adjusted from time to time to the extent necessary to reflect redemptions, Capital Contributions, the issuance of Partnership Units, the admission of any Additional Limited Partner or any Substituted
Limited Partner or otherwise, which amendment and restatement, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shall not be deemed an amendment of this Agreement, as long as the matter or
event being reflected in Exhibit A hereto otherwise is authorized by this Agreement. 




        B.    No Approval by Limited Partners.    Except as provided in Section 7.11 below, 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 provision of this Agreement, the Act or any applicable law, rule or regulation, to the full extent permitted under the Act or other applicable law. 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.    Insurance.    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, (ii)liability insurance for the Indemnitees hereunder and (iii) such other insurance
as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines to be necessary. 


18







 



        D.    Working Capital and Other Reserves.    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, including upon liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to Section 13.02 hereof. 


        E.    No Obligations to Consider Tax Consequences of Limited Partners.    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 (including the General Partner) of any action taken (or not taken) by it.
The General Partner and the Partnership shall not have liability to a Limited Partner for monetary damages or otherwise for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by such
Limited Partner in connection with such decisions, provided that the General Partner has acted in good faith and pursuant to its authority under this Agreement. 


19











   
        Section 7.02.    Certificate of Limited Partnership    


        The
General Partner has previously filed the Certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware. To the extent that such action is determined by the General Partner to be reasonable and
necessary or appropriate, the General Partner shall file amendments to and restatements of the Certificate and do all the things 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 state, the District of Columbia or other jurisdiction in which the Partnership may elect to
do business or own property. Subject to the terms of Section 8.05.A(4) 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 formation, 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 state, the District of Columbia or other jurisdiction in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. 


        Section 7.03.    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 Partners,
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 the 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 7.04.    Reimbursement of the General Partner    


        A.    No Compensation.    Except as provided in this Section 7.04 and elsewhere in this Agreement (including
the provisions of Articles V and VI hereof 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.    Responsibility for Partnership Expenses.    The Partnership shall be responsible for and shall pay all expenses
relating to the Partnership's organization, the ownership of its assets and its operations. The General Partner 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 it incurs relating to the ownership and operation of, or for the benefit of, the Partnership (including, without limitation, expenses
related to the management and administration of any Subsidiaries of the General Partner or the Partnership or Affiliates of the Partnership such as auditing expenses and filing fees);  provided that, the
amount of any such reimbursement shall be reduced by (i) any interest earned by the General Partner with respect to bank
accounts or other instruments or accounts held by it as permitted in Section 7.05.A below and (ii) any amount derived by the General Partner from any investments permitted in
Section 7.05.A below; and, provided further, that the General Partner shall not be reimbursed for (i) income tax liabilities or
(ii) filing or similar fees in connection with maintaining the General Partner's continued corporate existence that are incurred by the General Partner. The General Partner shall determine in
good faith the amount of expenses incurred by it related to the ownership and operation of, or for the benefit of, the Partnership. In the event that certain expenses are incurred for the benefit of
the Partnership and other entities (including the General Partner), such expenses will be allocated to the Partnership and such other entities in such a manner as the General Partner in its 


20







 

sole
and absolute discretion deems fair and reasonable. Such reimbursements shall be in addition to any reimbursement to the General Partner pursuant to Section 10.03.C hereof and as a result
of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.07 below. All payments and reimbursements hereunder shall be characterized for federal income tax purposes as expenses of the Partnership incurred on
its behalf, and not as expenses of the General Partner. 


        C.    Partnership and Other Interests Issuance and Repurchase Expenses.    The General Partner shall also be
reimbursed for all expenses it incurs relating to any issuance or repurchase of additional Partnership Interests, Shares, Debt of the Partnership or the General Partner or rights, options, warrants or
convertible or exchangeable securities pursuant to Article IV hereof (including, without limitation, all costs, expenses, damages and other payments resulting from or arising in connection with
litigation related to any of the foregoing), all of which expenses are considered by the Partners to constitute expenses of, and for the benefit of, the Partnership. 


        D.    Reimbursement not a Distribution.    If and to the extent any reimbursement made pursuant to this
Section 7.04 is determined for federal income tax purposes not to constitute a payment of expenses of the Partnership, the amount so determined shall be treated as a distribution to the General
Partner and there shall be a corresponding special allocation of gross income to the General Partner, for purposes of computing the Partners' Capital Accounts. 


        Section 7.05.    Outside Activities of the General Partner    


        A.    General.    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it is expressly understood and agreed
that the General Partner may, if it determines such action to be in the best interests of the
REIT or the Partnership, elect to cause some or all of the assets of the Partnership (including cash expected to be utilized to purchase assets that will be so held) to be distributed to and held
directly by the General Partner (the "Specially Distributed Assets"). Concurrently with any such distribution, the General Partner shall (i) amend Section 5.01 of this Agreement so as to
provide that, from and after the date of such distribution, each Partner other than the General Partner will receive the same distributions that it would have received had the Specially Distributed
Assets been held by the Partnership rather than directly by the General Partner (and a corresponding adjustment shall be made to the distributions to be made to the General Partner); and
(ii) make such further amendments to this Agreement (including, without limitation, to the income and loss allocation provisions of Section 6.01 hereof) as may be necessary or
appropriate to effect the intention of the parties that the Partners be placed, as nearly as possible, in the same position they would have been in had such Specially Distributed Assets been held by
the Partnership rather than directly by the General Partner; provided, however, that the General Partner
shall in no event be required to make contributions to the Partnership to fund distributions to the other Partners. 


        B.    Repurchase of Shares.    In the event the General Partner exercises its rights under the Articles of
Incorporation to purchase Shares or otherwise elects to purchase from its stockholders Shares in connection with a stock repurchase or similar program or for the purpose of delivering such shares to
satisfy an obligation under any dividend reinvestment or stock purchase program adopted by the General Partner, any employee stock purchase plan adopted by the General Partner or any similar
obligation or arrangement undertaken by the General Partner in the future, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to purchase from the General Partner that number of Partnership Units of
the appropriate class equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Shares purchased by the General Partner times a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is
the Conversion Factor, on the same terms and for the same aggregate price that the General Partner purchased such Shares. 



        C.    Forfeiture of Shares.    In the event the Partnership or the General Partner acquires Shares as a result of the
forfeiture of such Shares under a restricted or similar share plan, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to cancel that number of Partnership Units of the appropriate class 


21







 



equal
to the number of Shares so acquired divided by the Conversion Factor, and, if the Partnership acquired such Shares, it shall transfer such Shares to the General Partner for cancellation. 



        D.    Issuances of Shares.    After the Effective Date, the General Partner shall not grant, award, or issue any
additional Shares (other than Shares issued pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof or pursuant to a dividend or distribution (including any stock split) of Shares to all of its stockholders),other
equity securities of the General Partner or New Securities unless (i) the General Partner shall cause, pursuant to Section 4.02.A hereof, the Partnership to issue to the General Partner
Partnership Interests or rights, options, warrants or securities of the Partnership having designations, preferences and other rights, all such that the economic interests are substantially the same
as those of such additional Shares, other equity securities or New Securities, as the case may be, and (ii) the General Partner transfers to the Partnership, as an additional Capital
Contribution, the proceeds from the grant, award, or issuance of such additional Shares, other equity securities or New Securities, as the case may be, or from the exercise of rights
contained in such additional Shares, other equity securities or New Securities, as the case may be. Without limiting the foregoing, the General Partner is expressly authorized to issue additional
Shares, other equity securities or New Securities, as the case maybe, for less than fair market value, and the General Partner is expressly authorized, pursuant to Section 4.02.A hereof, to
cause the Partnership to issue to the General Partner corresponding Partnership Interests, as long as (a) the General Partner concludes in good faith that such issuance is in the interests of
the General Partner and the Partnership (for example, and not by way of limitation, the issuance of Shares and corresponding Partnership Units pursuant to a stock purchase plan providing for purchases
of Shares, either by employees or stockholders, at a discount from fair market value or pursuant to employee stock options that have an exercise price that is less than the fair market value of the
Shares, either at the time of issuance or at the time of exercise) and (b) the General Partner transfers all proceeds from any such issuance or exercise to the Partnership as an additional
Capital Contribution. 


        E.    Stock Option Plan.    If at any time or from time to time, the General Partner sells Shares pursuant to any
Stock Option Plan, the General Partner shall transfer the net proceeds of the sale of such Shares to the Partnership as an additional Capital Contribution in exchange for an amount of additional
Partnership Units equal to the number of Shares so sold divided by the Conversion Factor. 


        F.    Funding Debt.    The General Partner may incur a Funding Debt, including, without limitation, a Funding Debt
that is convertible into Shares or otherwise constitutes a class of New Securities, subject to the condition that the General Partner lends to the Partnership the net proceeds of such Funding Debt;  provided, that the General Partner shall not be obligated to lend the net proceeds of any Funding Debt to the Partnership in a manner that would be
inconsistent with the General Partner's ability to remain qualified as a REIT. If the General Partner enters into any Funding Debt, the loan to the Partnership shall be on comparable terms and
conditions, including interest rate, repayment schedule and costs and expenses, as are applicable with respect to or incurred in connection with such Funding Debt. 


        Section 7.06.    Transactions with Affiliates    


        A.    Transactions with Certain Affiliates.    Except (i) as expressly permitted by this Agreement (other than
Section 7.01.A hereof which shall not be considered authority for a transaction that otherwise would be prohibited by this Section 7.06.A) and (ii) all transactions with SL Green
or its Affiliates contemplated by the General Partner's initial public offering, the Partnership shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer or convey any property to, or purchase any property
from, or borrow funds from, or lend funds to, any Partner or any Affiliate of the Partnership or the General Partner or the General Partner Entity that is not also a Subsidiary of the Partnership,
except pursuant to transactions that are on terms that are fair and reasonable and no less favorable to the Partnership than would be obtained from an unaffiliated third party. 


22







 

        B.    Benefit Plans.    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 funded by the Partnership for the benefit of employees of the General Partner, the Partnership, Subsidiaries
of the Partnership, SL Green, the Manager or any Affiliate of any of them in respect of services performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Partnership, the General Partner, or any of
the Partnership's Subsidiaries. 


        C.    Conflict Avoidance.    The General Partner is expressly authorized to enter into, in the name and on behalf of
the Partnership, a right of first opportunity arrangement and other conflict avoidance agreements with various Affiliates of SL Green, the Manager, the Partnership and General Partner on such terms as
the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, believes are advisable. 


        Section 7.07.    Indemnification    



        A.    General.    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 or in
connection with any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative incurred by the Indemnitee and relating to the Partnership or the General
Partner or the formation or operations of, or the ownership of property by, either of them as set forth in this Agreement in which any such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved,
as a party or otherwise, unless it is established by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction that: (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving
rise to the proceeding 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 guarantee, contractual obligations for any indebtedness or other obligations or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the
Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership has assumed or taken subject to), and the
General Partner is hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Partnership, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.07 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 7.07.A. The termination of any proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry
of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this Section 7.07.A with respect to the subject
matter of such proceeding. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, and any insurance proceeds from the liability policy
covering the General Partner and any Indemnitees, 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 7.07. 


        B.    Advancement of Expenses.    Reasonable expenses expected to be incurred by an Indemnitee shall be paid or
reimbursed by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative made or threatened
against an Indemnitee upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee's good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for
indemnification by the Partnership as authorized in this Section 7.07.B has been met and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall
ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met. 


23







 



        C.    No Limitation of Rights.    The indemnification provided by this Section 7.07 shall be in addition to any
other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an
Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity unless otherwise provided in a written agreement pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified. 


        D.    Insurance.    The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Indemnitees and such other
Persons as the General Partner shall determine against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership's activities,
regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. 



        E.    Benefit Plan Fiduciary.    For purposes of this Section 7.07, (i) the Partnership shall be deemed
to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services
by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan, (ii) excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute
fines within the meaning of this Section 7.07 and (iii) actions taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose
reasonably believed by it to be i n the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership. 


        F.    No Personal Liability for Limited Partners.    In no event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Partners to
personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement. 


        G.    Interested Transactions.    An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this
Section 7.07 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this
Agreement. 


        H.    Benefit.    The provisions of this Section 7.07 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs,
successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.07, or any
provision hereof, shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitation on the Partnership's liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.07 as in effect immediately
prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or related to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of
when such claims may arise or be asserted. 


        I.    Indemnification Payments Not Distributions.    If and to the extent any payments to the General Partner pursuant
to this Section 7.07 constitute gross income to the General Partner (as opposed to the repayment of advances made on behalf of the Partnership), such amounts shall constitute guaranteed
payments within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, shall be treated consistently therewith by the Partnership and all Partners, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of
computing the Partners' Capital Accounts. 


        Section 7.08.    Liability of the General Partner    


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



        B.    No Obligation to Consider Separate Interests of Limited Partners or Stockholders.    The Limited Partners
expressly acknowledge that the General Partner is acting on behalf of the Partnership and the 


24







 



General
Partner's stockholders 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 or Assignees or to such stockholders) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions. In the event of a conflict between the
interests of the stockholders of the General Partner Entity on one hand and the Limited Partners on the other, the General Partner shall endeavor in good faith to resolve the conflict in manner not
adverse to either the stockholders of the General Partner Entity or the Limited Partners; provided,  however, that for so long as the General Partner Entity,
 directly, or the General Partner, owns a controlling interest in the Partnership, any such
conflict that cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse to either the stockholders of the General Partner Entity or the Limited Partners shall be resolved in favor of the stockholders. The General
Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages or otherwise 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.    Actions of Agents.    Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner set forth in
Section 7.01.A above, 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 employees or agents. The General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such employee or agent appointed by the General Partner in good faith. 



        D.    Effect of Amendment.    Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.08 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 7.08 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. 


        E.    Certain Definitions.    Whenever in this Agreement the General Partner is permitted or required to make a
decision (i) in its "sole discretion "or "discretion," or under a similar grant of authority or latitude, the General Partner shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as it
desires and may consider its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Partnership or the Limited Partners, or
(ii) in its "good faith" or under another express standard, the General Partner shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by
this Agreement or by law or any other agreement contemplated herein. 


        Section 7.09.    Other Matters Concerning the General Partner    



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


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


        C.    Action Through Agents.    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. 


25







 



        D.    Actions to Maintain REIT Status or Avoid Taxation of the General Partner Entity.    Notwithstanding any other
provisions 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 the General Partner Entity to continue to qualify as a REIT or
(ii) to allow the General Partner Entity to avoid incurring any liability for taxes under Section 857 or 4981 of the Code, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed
approved by all of the Limited Partners. 


        Section 7.10.    Reliance by Third Parties    


        Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the General Partner has full power and authority,
without consent or approval of any other Partner or Person, to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Partnership, to enter into any contracts on behalf of the
Partnership and to take any and all actions on behalf of the Partnership, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the General Partner as if the General Partner were the Partnership's sole party
in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Limited Partner hereby waives any and all defenses or other remedies which may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any
action of the General Partner in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the General Partner or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this
Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the General Partner or its representatives. Each and every certificate, document or other
instrument executed on behalf of the Partnership by the 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 7.11.    Restrictions on General Partner's Authority    



        A.    Consent Required.    The General Partner may not take any action in contravention of an express prohibition or
limitation of this Agreement without the written Consent of (i) all Partners adversely
affected or (ii) such lower percentage of the Limited Partnership Interests as may be specifically provided for under a provision of this Agreement or the Act. 


        B.    Sale of All Assets of the Partnership.    Except as provided in Article XIII hereof, the General Partner
may not, directly or indirectly, cause the Partnership to sell, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets in a single transaction or a series of
related transactions(including by way of merger (including a triangular merger), consolidation or other combination with any other Persons) (i) if such merger, sale or other transaction is in
connection with a Termination Transaction permitted under Section 11.02.B hereof, without the Consent of the Partners holding a majority of Percentage Interests (including the effect of any
Partnership Units held by the General Partner) or (ii) otherwise, without the Consent of the Limited Partners. 


        Section 7.12.    Loans by Third Parties    


        The
Partnership may incur Debt, or enter into similar credit, guarantee, financing or refinancing arrangements for any purpose (including, without limitation, in connection with any
acquisition of property or other assets) with any Person that is not the General Partner upon such terms as the General Partner determines appropriate;  provided that, the Partnership shall not incur any
Debt that is recourse to the General Partner, except to the extent otherwise agreed to by the General
Partner in its sole discretion.

ARTICLE VIII  


 RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF LIMITED PARTNERS  


        Section 8.01.    Limitation of Liability    


        The
Limited Partners shall have no liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement, including Section 10.05 hereof, or under the Act. 



        Section 8.02.    Management of Business    


        No
Limited Partner or Assignee (other than 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 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 or Assignees under this Agreement. 


        Section 8.03.    Outside Activities of Limited Partners    


        Subject
to Section 7.05 hereof, and subject to any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 7.06.C hereof and to any other agreements entered into by a Limited Partner
or its Affiliates with the Partnership or a Subsidiary, any Limited Partner (other than the General Partner) and any officer, director, employee, agent, trustee, Affiliate or stockholder 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 or indirect 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 or
Assignee. None of the Limited Partners (other than the General Partner) nor any other Person shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership relationship established hereby in any
business ventures of any other Person (other than the General Partner to the extent expressly provided herein), 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 8.04.    Return of Capital    


        Except
pursuant to the right of redemption set forth in Section 8.06 below, no Limited Partner shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of its Capital Contribution, except to
the extent of distributions made pursuant to this Agreement or upon termination of the Partnership as provided herein. No Limited Partner or Assignee shall have priority over any other Limited Partner
or Assignee either as to the return of Capital Contributions (except as permitted by Section 4.02.A hereof) or, except to the extent provided by Exhibit C hereto or as permitted by
Sections 4.02.A, 5.01.B, 6.01.A(ii) and 6.01.B(i)hereof or otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, as to profits, losses, distributions or credits. 


        Section 8.05.    Rights of Limited Partners Relating to the Partnership    


        A.    General.    In addition to other rights provided by this Agreement or by the Act, and except as limited by
8.05.D below, 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 most recent annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the General Partner Entity pursuant to the Exchange Act; 



27








 

        (2)
to obtain a copy of the Partnership's federal, state and local income tax returns for each Partnership Year; 


        (3)
to obtain a current list of the name and last known business, residence or mailing address of each Partner; 


        (4)
to obtain a copy of this Agreement and the Certificate and all amendments thereto, together with executed copies of all powers of attorney pursuant to which this Agreement, the
Certificate and all amendments thereto have been executed; and 


        (5)
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.    Notice of Conversion Factor.    The Partnership shall notify each Limited Partner upon request of the then
current Conversion Factor and any changes that have been made thereto. 



        C.    Notice of Extraordinary Transaction of the General Partner Entity.    The General Partner Entity shall not make
any extraordinary distributions of cash or property to its stockholders or effect a merger (including without limitation, a triangular merger), a sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any
other similar extraordinary transaction without notifying the Limited Partners of its intention to make such distribution or effect such merger, sale or other extraordinary transaction at least twenty
(20) Business Days prior to the record date to determine stockholders eligible to receive such distribution or to vote upon the approval of such merger, sale or other extraordinary transaction
(or, if no such record date is applicable, at least twenty (20) Business Days before consummation of such merger, sale or other extraordinary transaction). This provision for such notice shall
not be deemed (i) to permit any transaction that otherwise is prohibited by this Agreement or requires a Consent of the Partners or (ii) to require a Consent of the Limited Partners to a
transaction that does not otherwise require Consent under this Agreement. Each Limited Partner agrees, as a condition to the receipt of the notice pursuant hereto, to keep confidential the information
set forth therein until such time as the General Partner Entity has made public disclosure thereof and to use such information during such period of confidentiality solely for purposes of determining
whether or not to exercise the Redemption Right; provided, however, that a Limited Partner may disclose
such information to its attorney,
accountant and/or financial advisor for purposes of obtaining advice with respect to such exercise so long as such attorney, accountant and/or financial advisor agrees to receive and hold such
information subject to this confidentiality requirement. 


        D.    Confidentiality.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.05, 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 reasonably 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 could damage the Partnership or its business or (ii) the Partnership is required by law or by agreements with unaffiliated third parties to keep confidential. 


        Section 8.06.    Class A Redemption Right    


        A.    General.    



        (i)
Subject to Section 8.06.C below, on or after the date two (2) years after the issuance of a Class A Unit to a Limited Partner pursuant to Article IV
hereof, the holder of a Class A Unit (if other than the General Partner or the General Partner Entity) shall have the right (the "Redemption Right") to require the Partnership to redeem such
Class A Unit on a Specified Redemption Date and at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the Cash Amount to be paid by the Partnership. Any such Redemption Right shall be exercised
pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the Partnership (with a copy to the General Partner) by the Limited 



28







 

Partner
who is exercising the Redemption Right (the "Redeeming Partner"). A Limited Partner may not exercise the Redemption Right for less than one thousand (1,000) Class A Units or, if such
Redeeming Partner holds less than one thousand (1,000) Class A Units, for less than all of the Class A Units held by such Redeeming Partner. 


        (ii)
The Redeeming Partner shall have no right with respect to any Class A Units so redeemed to receive any distributions paid after the Specified Redemption Date. 



        (iii)
The Assignee of any Limited Partner may exercise the rights of such Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 8.06 and such Limited Partner shall be deemed to have assigned
such rights to such Assignee and shall be bound by the exercise of such rights by such Limited Partner's Assignee. In connection with any exercise of the such rights by such Assignee on behalf of such
Limited Partner, the Cash Amount shall be paid by the Partnership directly to such Assignee and not to such Limited Partner. 



29









   
        B.    General Partner Assumption of Right.    (i) If a Limited Partner has delivered a Notice of Redemption,
the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion (subject to any limitations on ownership and transfer of Shares set forth in the Articles of Incorporation), elect to assume directly and
satisfy a Redemption Right by paying to the Redeeming Partner either the Cash Amount or the Shares Amount, as the General Partner determines in its sole and absolute discretion
(provided that payment of the Redemption Amount in the form of Shares shall be in Shares registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and
listed for trading on the exchange or national market on which the Shares are Publicly Traded, and provided,  further that, in the event that the Shares are
not Publicly Traded at the time a Redeeming Partner exercises its Redemption Right, the Redemption Amount
shall be paid only in the form of the Cash Amount unless the Redeeming Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, consents to payment of the Redemption Amount in the form of the Shares Amount), on
the Specified Redemption Date, whereupon the General Partner shall acquire the Class A Units offered for redemption by the Redeeming Partner and shall be treated for all purposes of this
Agreement as the owner of such Partnership Units. Unless the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall exercise its right to assume directly and satisfy the Redemption Right, the
General Partner shall not have any obligation to the Redeeming Partner or to the Partnership with respect to the Redeeming Partner's exercise of the Redemption Right. In the event the General Partner
shall exercise its right to satisfy the Redemption Right in the manner described in the first sentence of this Section 8.06.B and shall fully perform its obligations in connection therewith,
the Partnership shall have no right or obligation to pay any amount to the Redeeming Partner with respect to such Redeeming Partner's exercise of the Redemption Right, and each of the Redeeming
Partner, the Partnership and the General Partner shall, for federal income tax purposes, treat the transaction between the General Partner and the Redeeming Partner as a sale of the Redeeming
Partner's Partnership Units to the General Partner. Nothing contained in this Section 8.06.B shall imply any right of the General Partner to require any Limited Partner to exercise the
Redemption Right afforded to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 8.06.A above. 



        (ii)
In the event that the General Partner determines to pay the Redeeming Partner the Redemption Amount in the form of Shares, the total number of Shares to be paid to the Redeeming
Partner in exchange for the Redeeming Partner's Partnership Units shall be the applicable Shares Amount. In the event this amount is not a whole number of Shares, the Redeeming Partner shall be paid
(i) that number of Shares which equals the nearest whole number less than such amount plus (ii) an amount of cash which the General Partner determines, in its reasonable discretion, to
represent the fair value of the remaining fractional Share which would otherwise be payable to the Redeeming Partner. 


        (iii)
Each Redeeming Partner agrees to execute such documents as the General Partner may reasonably require in connection with the issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Redemption
Right. 




        C.    Exceptions to Exercise of Redemption Right.    Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8.06.A and 8.06.B
above, a Partner shall not be entitled to exercise the Redemption Right pursuant to
Section 8.06.A above if (but only as long as) the delivery of Shares to such Partner on the Specified Redemption Date (i) would be prohibited under the Articles of Incorporation or
(ii) as long as the Shares are Publicly Traded, would be prohibited under applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations (in each case regardless of whether the General Partner
would in fact assume and satisfy the Redemption Right). 


        D.    No Liens on Partnership Units Delivered for Redemption.    Each Limited Partner covenants and agrees with the
General Partner that all Partnership Units delivered for redemption (including Partnership Units redeemed under Section 8.07) shall be delivered to the Partnership or the General Partner, as
the case may be, free and clear of all liens, and, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the General Partner nor the Partnership shall be under any obligation to 


30







 



acquire
Partnership Units which are or may be subject to any liens. Each Limited Partner 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 the Partnership or the General Partner, such Limited Partner shall assume and pay such transfer tax. 



        E.    Additional Partnership Interests.    In the event that the Partnership issues Partnership Interests to any
Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Article IV hereof, the General Partner shall make such amendments to this Section 8.06 as it determines are necessary to reflect the issuance of
such Partnership Interests (including setting forth any restrictions on the exercise of the Redemption Right with respect to such Partnership Interests). 


        Section 8.07.    Redemption of Class B Units    



        The
Class B Units shall be subject to mandatory redemption if the Management Agreement is terminated. The General Partner shall send notice of Class B Unit redemption
within ten days after the General Partner sends or receives notice of termination of the Management Agreement. The redemption date shall be the date on which termination of the Management Agreement is
effective. The redemption amount, to be paid in cash or by wire transfer on the redemption date, shall be equal to two times the annual distributions on a Class B Unit relating to either the
most recently completed calendar year or, if higher, the prior calendar year; provided that if on the redemption date the General Partner is becoming self-managed, the redemption amount
will be equal to 50% of the redemption amount described above; and provided, further, that if the Management Agreement is terminated by the General Partner for cause, the aggregate redemption amount
shall be $100. Upon any such redemption, the Class B Units will also be entitled to receive any distributions payable with respect to periods through the redemption date. If such distribution
amounts cannot be calculated on or by the redemption date, they shall be calculated and paid as promptly as possible thereafter, but in no event later than 30 days after the redemption date. 


ARTICLE IX  


 BOOKS, RECORDS, ACCOUNTING AND REPORTS  


        Section 9.01.    Records and Accounting    


        The
General Partner shall keep or cause to be kept at the principal office of the Partnership appropriate books and records with respect to the Partnership's business, including, without
limitation, all books and records necessary to provide to the Limited Partners any information, lists and copies of documents required to be provided pursuant to Section 9.03 below. Any records
maintained by or on behalf of the Partnership in the regular course of its business may be kept on, or be in the form of, punch cards, magnetic tape, photographs, micrographics or any other
information storage device, provided that the records so maintained are convertible into clearly legible written form within a reasonable period of
time. The books of the Partnership shall be maintained, for financial and tax reporting purposes, on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 


        Section 9.02.    Fiscal Year    


        The
fiscal year of the Partnership shall be the calendar year. 


        Section 9.03.    Reports    



        A.    Annual Reports.    As soon as practicable, but in no event later than the date on which the General Partner
Entity mails its annual report to its stockholders, the General Partner shall cause to be mailed to each Limited Partner an annual report, as of the close of the most recently ended Partnership Year,
containing financial statements of the Partnership, or of the General Partner Entity if such statements are prepared solely on a consolidated basis with the Partnership, for such Partnership Year,
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, such statements to be audited by a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants selected by the General Partner
Entity. 


31







 

        B.    Quarterly Reports.    If and to the extent that the General Partner Entity mails quarterly reports to its
stockholders, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the date on which such reports are mailed, the General Partner shall cause to be mailed to each Limited Partner a report containing
unaudited financial statements, as of the last day of such calendar quarter, of the Partnership, or of the General Partner Entity if such statements are prepared solely on a consolidated basis with
the Partnership, and such other information as may be required by applicable law or regulation, or as the General Partner determines to be appropriate. 


ARTICLE X  


 TAX MATTERS  


        Section 10.01.    Preparation of Tax Returns    


        The
General Partner shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all returns of Partnership income, gains, deductions, losses and other items required of the Partnership for
federal and state income tax purposes and shall use all reasonable efforts to furnish, within ninety (90) days of the close of each taxable year, the tax information reasonably required by
Limited Partners for federal and state income tax reporting purposes. 


        Section 10.02.    Tax Elections    


        Except
as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine whether to make any available election pursuant to the Code. The General
Partner shall have the right to seek to revoke any such election (including, without limitation, an election under Section 754 of the Code) upon the General Partner's determination in its sole
and absolute discretion that such revocation is in the best interests of the Partners. 


        Section 10.03.    Tax Matters Partner    


        A.    General.    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, taxpayer identification number and profit interest of each of the Limited Partners and any Assignees;  provided, however, that such information is provided to the Partnership by the Limited Partners. 


        B.    Powers.    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(a)(8) 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 filing of a complaint
for refund with the United States Claims Court or the District Court of the United States for the district in which the Partnership's principal place of business is located; 



32








 




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


        (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 the General Partner set forth in Section 7.07 hereof shall be fully applicable to the tax
matters partner in its capacity as such. 


        C.    Reimbursement.    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 and expenses) shall be borne by the Partnership. Nothing herein shall be
construed to restrict the Partnership from engaging an accounting firm or a law firm to assist the tax matters partner in discharging its duties hereunder. 


        Section 10.04.    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 10.05.    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 Section 1441, 1442, 1445, or 1446 of the Code. Any amount paid on behalf of or with
respect to a Limited Partner shall constitute a recourse 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 to pay to the
Partnership any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 10.05. In the event that a Limited Partner fails to pay any amounts owed to the Partnership pursuant to this
Section 10.05 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 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 


33







 

banks,
as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal, plus four (4) percentage points (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate) from the date such amount is due (i.e., fifteen
(15) 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 11.01.    Transfer    


        A.    Definition.    The term "transfer," when used in this Article XI with respect to a Partnership Interest
or a Partnership Unit, shall be deemed to refer to a transaction by which the General Partner purports to assign all or any part of its General Partnership Interest to another Person or by which a
Limited
Partner purports to assign all or any part of 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 XI does not include any redemption or repurchase of Partnership Units by the Partnership from a Partner
(including the General Partner) or acquisition of Partnership Units from a Limited Partner by the General Partner pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof or otherwise. No part of the interest of a
Limited Partner shall be subject to the claims of any creditor, any spouse for alimony or support, or to legal process, and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily alienated or encumbered except as
may be specifically provided for in this Agreement. 


        B.    General.    No Partnership Interest shall be transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth in this Article XI. Any transfer or purported transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance with this Article XI shall be null and void. 



        Section 11.02.    Transfers of Partnership Interests of General Partner    


        A.    Except
for transfers of Partnership Units to the Partnership as provided in Section 7.05 or Section 8.06 hereof, the General Partner may not transfer any of
its Partnership Interest except (i) in connection with a transaction described in Section 11.02.B below (ii) to a wholly-owned Subsidiary or (iii) as otherwise expressly
permitted under this Agreement, nor shall the General Partner withdraw as General Partner except in connection with a transaction described in Section11.02.B below. 



        B.    The
General Partner shall not engage in any merger (including a triangular merger), consolidation or other combination with or into another person, sale of all or
substantially all of its assets or any reclassification, recapitalization or change of outstanding Shares (other than 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 "Conversion Factor") ("Termination Transaction"), unless the Termination Transaction has been approved by the Consent of the Partners
holding a majority or more of the then outstanding Percentage Interests (including the effect of any Partnership Units held by the General Partner) and in connection with which all Limited Partners
either will receive, or will have the right to elect to receive, for each Partnership Unit an amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to the product of the Conversion Factor and the
greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid to a holder of Shares, if any, corresponding to such Partnership Unit that was issued pursuant to Section 4.02.A hereof in
consideration of one such Share at any time during the period from and after the date on which the Termination Transaction is consummated; provided
that, if, in connection with the Termination 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
Shares, each holder of Partnership Units shall receive, or shall have the right to elect to receive, the greatest amount of cash, securities, or other property which such holder would have received
had it exercised the Redemption Right and received Shares in exchange for its Partnership Units immediately prior to the expiration of such 


34







 



purchase,
tender or exchange offer and had thereupon accepted such purchase, tender or exchange offer. 


        Sect
ion 11.03.    Limited Partners' Rights to Transfer    



        A.    General.    A Limited Partner may not transfer any of such Limited Partner's rights as a Limited Partner without
the consent of the General Partner, which consent the General Partner may withhold in its sole discretion. 


        B.    Incapacitated Limited Partners.    If a Limited Partner is subject to Incapacity, 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.    No Transfers Violating Securities Laws.    The General Partner may prohibit any transfer of Partnership Units by
a Limited Partner if, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership, such transfer would require filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act or would otherwise violate any
federal, or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Partnership Unit. 



        D.    No Transfers Affecting Tax Status of Partnership.    No transfer of Partnership Units by a Limited Partner
(including a redemption or exchange pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof) 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 would result in a termination of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes (except as a
result of the redemption or exchange for Shares of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners other than the General Partner or the General Partner Entity or any Subsidiary of either the
General Partner or the General Partner Entity or pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted under Section 7.11.B or Section 11.02 hereof), (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel
for the Partnership, it would adversely affect the ability of the General Partner Entity to continue to qualify as a REIT or would subject the General Partner Entity to any additional taxes under
Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code or (iii) such transfer is effectuated through an "established securities market" or a "secondary market (or the substantial equivalent
thereof)" within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code. 


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


        F.    Transfer Register.    The General Partner shall keep a register for the Partnership on which the transfer,
pledge or release of Partnership Units shall be shown and pursuant to which entries shall be made to effect all transfers, pledges or releases as required by Sections
8-207,8-313(1) and 8-321 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as amended, in effect in the States of New York and Delaware;  provided, however, that if there is
any conflict between such requirements, the provisions of the
Delaware Uniform Commercial Code shall govern. The General Partner shall (i) place proper entries in such register clearly showing each transfer and each pledge and grant of security interest
and the transfer and assignment pursuant thereto, such entries to be endorsed by the General Partner and (ii) maintain the register and make the register available for inspection by all of the
Partners and their pledgees at 


35







 

all
times during the term of this Agreement. Nothing herein shall be deemed a consent to any pledge or transfer otherwise prohibited under this Agreement. 


        Section 11.04.    Substituted Limited Partners    



        A.    Consent of General Partner.    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 to the admission of a transferee of the interest of a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 11.04 as a Substituted Limited
Partner, which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. The General Partner's failure or refusal to permit a transferee of any such interests to
become a Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Partnership or any Partner. 



        B.    Rights of Substituted Limited Partner.    A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in
accordance with this Article XI shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner under this Agreement. The admission of any
transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner shall be conditioned upon the transferee executing and delivering to the Partnership an acceptance of all the terms and conditions of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 15.11 hereof and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission). 



        C.    Amendment and Restatement of Exhibit A.    Upon the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner, the
General Partner shall amend and restate Exhibit A hereto to reflect the name, address, Capital Account, number of Partnership Units, and Percentage Interest of such Substituted Limited Partner
and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address, Capital Account and Percentage Interest of the predecessor of such Substituted Limited Partner. 


        Section 11.05.    Assignees    



        If
the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not consent to the admission of any permitted transferee under Section 11.03 above as a Substituted Limited
Partner, as described in Section 11.04 above, such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall be entitled to all the rights of an assignee of a
limited partnership interest under the Act, including the right to receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net Losses, gain, loss and Recapture Income attributable to
the Partnership Units assigned to such transferee, and shall have the rights granted to the Limited Partners under Section 8.06 hereof but shall not be deemed to be a holder of Partnership
Units for any other purpose under this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to vote such Partnership Units in any matter presented to the Limited Partners for a vote (such Partnership Units being
deemed to have been voted on such matter in the same proportion as all other Partnership Units held by Limited Partners are voted). In the event any such transferee desires to make a further
assignment of any such Partnership Units, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article XI to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to
make an assignment of Partnership Units. 


        Section 11.06.    General Provisions    



        A.    Withdrawal of Limited Partner.    No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of
a permitted transfer of all of such Limited Partner's Partnership Units in accordance with this Article XI or pursuant to redemption of all of its Partnership Units under Section 8.06
hereof. 


        B.    Termination of Status as Limited Partner.    Any Limited Partner who shall transfer all of its Partnership Units
in a transfer permitted pursuant to this Article XI or pursuant to redemption of all of its Partnership Units under Section 8.06 hereof shall cease to be a Limited Partner. 



        C.    Timing of Transfers.    Transfers pursuant to this Article XI may only be made on the first day of a
fiscal quarter of the Partnership, unless the General Partner otherwise agrees. 


36







 



        D.    Allocations.    If any Partnership Interest is transferred during any quarterly segment of the Partnership's
fiscal year in compliance with the provisions of this Article XI or redeemed or transferred pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof, Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items
attributable to such interest for such fiscal year shall be divided and allocated between the transferor Partner and the transferee Partner by taking into account their varying interests during the
fiscal year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using the interim closing of the books method (unless the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to adopt a
daily, weekly, or a monthly proration period, in which event Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such interest for such fiscal year shall be prorated based
upon the applicable method selected by the General Partner). Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which the transfer or redemption occurs shall
be allocated to the Person who is a Partner as of midnight on the last day of said month. All distributions attributable to any Partnership Unit with
respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such transfer, assignment or redemption shall be made to the transferor Partner or the Redeeming Partner, as the case may be, and, in
the case of a transfer or assignment other than a redemption, all distributions thereafter attributable to such Partnership Unit shall be made to the transferee Partner. 


        E.    Additional Restrictions.    In addition to any other restrictions on transfer herein contained, including
without limitation the provisions of this Article XI, in no event may any transfer or assignment of a Partnership Interest by any Partner (including pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof) be
made without the express consent of the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) to any person or entity who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Partnership
Interest; (ii) in violation of applicable law; (iii) of any component portion of a Partnership Interest, such as the Capital Account, or rights to distributions, separate and apart from
all other components of a Partnership Interest; (iv) if in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership such transfer would cause a termination of the Partnership for federal or state income
tax purposes (except as a result of the redemption or exchange for Shares of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners or pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted under
Section 7.11.B or Section 11.02 hereof); (v) if in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, such transfer would cause the Partnership to cease to be classified as a partnership
for federal income tax purposes (except as a result of the redemption or exchange for Shares of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners or pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted
under Section 7.11.B or Section 11.02 hereof); (vi) if such transfer would cause the Partnership to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA,
a "party-in-interest" (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a "disqualified person" (as defined in Section 4975(c) of the Code); (vii) without the
consent of the General Partner, to any "benefit plan investor" within the meaing of Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101(f); (viii) 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 2570.3-101; (ix) if such transfer requires the registration of such Partnership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws; (x) if
such transfer is effectuated through an "established securities market" or a "secondary market" (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code or such
transfer causes the Partnership to become a "publicly traded partnership," as such term is defined in Section 469(k)(2) or Section 7704(b) of the Code; (xi) if such transfer
subjects the Partnership to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, each as amended;
(xii) if such transfer could adversely affect the ability of the General Partner Entity to remain qualified as a REIT; or (xiii) if in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership,
such transfer would adversely affect the ability of the General Partner Entity to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject the General Partner Entity to any additional taxes under Section 857
or Section 4981 of the Code. 


37







 



        F.    Avoidance of "Publicly Traded Partnership" Status.    The General Partner shall monitor the transfers of
interests in the Partnership to determine (i) if such interests are being traded on an "established securities market" or a "secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)" within the
meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and (ii) whether additional transfers of interests would result in the Partnership being unable to qualify for at least one of the "safe harbors" set
forth in Regulations Section 1.7704-1 (or such other guidance subsequently published by the IRS setting forth
safe harbors under which interests will not be treated as "readily tradable" on a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code (the
"Safe Harbors"). The General Partner shall take all steps reasonably necessary or appropriate to prevent any trading of interests or any recognition by the Partnership of transfers made on such
markets and, except as otherwise provided herein, to insure that at least one of the Safe Harbors is met. 


ARTICLE XII  


 ADMISSION OF PARTNERS  


        Section 12.01.    Admission of Successor General Partner    


        A
successor to all of the General Partner's General Partnership Interest pursuant to Section 11.02 hereof who is proposed to be admitted as a successor General Partner shall be
admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner, effective upon 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 successor General Partner's 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 12.02.    Admission of Additional Limited Partners    


        A.    General.    No Person shall be admitted as an Additional Limited Partner without the consent of the General
Partner, which consent shall be given or withheld in the General Partner's sole and absolute discretion. A Person who makes a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement,
including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 4.01.C hereof, or who exercises an option to receive Partnership Units shall be admitted to the Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner
only with the consent of the General Partner and only upon furnishing to the General Partner (i) evidence of acceptance in form satisfactory to the General Partner of all of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power of attorney granted in Section 15.11 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. The admission of any Person as an Additional Limited Partner 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.    Allocations to Additional Limited Partners.    If any Additional Limited Partner is admitted to the Partnership
on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items allocable among Partners and Assignees for such Partnership Year shall be
allocated among such Additional Limited Partner and all other Partners and Assignees by taking into account their varying interests during the Partnership Year in accordance with Section 706(d)
of the Code, using the interim closing of the books method (unless the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to adopt a daily, weekly or monthly proration method, in which event
Net Income, Net Losses, and each item thereof would be prorated based upon the applicable period selected by the General Partner).Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for
the calendar month in which an admission of any Additional Limited Partner occurs shall be allocated among all the Partners and Assignees including such Additional Limited Partner. All distributions
with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such admission shall be made solely to Partners and Assignees other than the Additional Limited Partner, and all 


38







 



distributions
thereafter shall be made to all the Partners and Assignees including such Additional Limited Partner. 


        Section 12.03.    Amendment of Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership    


        For
the admission to the Partnership of any Partner, the General Partner shall take all steps necessary and appropriate under the Act to amend the records of the Partnership (including
an amendment and restatement of Exhibit A hereto) and, if necessary, to prepare as soon as practical an amendment of this Agreement 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 15.11 hereof. 


ARTICLE XIII  


 DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION  


        Section 13.01.    Dissolution    



        The
Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of Substituted Limited Partners or Additional Limited Partners or by the admission of a successor General Partner in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the withdrawal of the General Partner, any successor 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"): 



        (i)
the expiration of its term as provided in Section 2.04 hereof; 


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


        (iii)
an election to dissolve the Partnership made by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, on or after January 1, 2054; 


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


        (v)
a final and nonappealable judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction ruling that the General Partner is bankrupt or insolvent, or a final and nonappealable order for
relief is entered by a court with appropriate jurisdiction against the General Partner, in each case under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency laws as now or hereafter in effect, unless
prior to or within ninety days after of the entry of such order or judgment a "majority in interest" (as defined below) of the remaining Partners Consent in writing to continue the business of the
Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of a date prior to the date of such order or judgment, of a substitute General Partner. 




        As
used herein, a "majority in interest" shall refer to Partners (excluding the General Partner) who hold more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Percentage Interests not held
by the General Partner. 


        Section 13.02.    Winding Up    


        A.    General.    Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Partnership shall continue solely for the purposes
of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Partners. No Partner shall take any action that is in consistent 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 a majority
in interest of the Limited Partners (the "Liquidator")) shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up 


39







 

and
dissolution of the Partnership and shall take full account of the Partnership's liabilities and property and the Partnership property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with
obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom (which may, to the extent determined by the General Partner, include equity or other securities of the General Partner or any other entity)
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 Partners in accordance with their Capital Accounts, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, and allocations for all periods. 




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


40









   
        B.    Deferred Liquidation.    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.02.A above 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) or distribute to the Partners, in lieu of cash, as tenants in
common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.02.A above, undivided interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such
distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in kind are in the best 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. 



        Section 13.03.    Compliance with Timing Requirements of Regulations    


        Subject
to Section 13.04 below, 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 XIII 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 General Partner, a pro rata portion of the distributions that
would otherwise be made to the General Partner and Limited Partners pursuant to this Article XIII may be: (A) 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 (in which case 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 General Partner, 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 (B) 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 13.04.    Deemed Distribution and Recontribution    



        Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Article XIII, in the event the Partnership is deemed 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, for federal income tax purposes and for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts pursuant to Exhibit B hereto, the Partnership
shall be deemed to have distributed its assets in kind to the General Partner and Limited Partners, who shall be deemed to have assumed and taken such assets subject to all Partnership liabilities,
all in accordance with their respective Capital Accounts. Immediately thereafter, the General Partner and Limited Partners shall be deemed to have recontributed the Partnership assets in kind to the
Partnership, which shall be deemed to have assumed and taken such assets subject to all such liabilities. 


41







 

        Section 13.05.    Rights of Limited Partners    



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


        Section 13.06.    Notice of Dissolution    



        In
the event a Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs that would, but for provisions of an election or objection by one or more Partners pursuant to Section 13.01 above,
result in a dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each of the Partners and to all other parties with
whom the Partnership regularly conducts business (as determined in the discretion of the General Partner) and shall publish notice thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in each place in which
the Partnership regularly conducts business (as determined in the discretion of the General Partner). 



        Section 13.07.    Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership    


        Upon
the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership cash and property as provided in Section 13.02 above, 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. 


        Section 13.08.    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 13.02 above, in
order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding-up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect among the Partners during the period of liquidation. 


        Section 13.09.    Waiver of Partition    


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


        Section 13.10.    Liability of Liquidator    


        The
Liquidator shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership in the same manner and to the same degree as an Indemnitee may be indemnified pursuant to Section 7.11
hereof.

        A.    General.    Each Limited Partner and each Assignee who accepts Partnership Units (or any rights, benefits or
privileges associated therewith) is deemed to irrevocably constitute and appoint the General Partner, any Liquidator and authorized officers and attorneys-in-fact of each, and

and stead to: 



        (1)
execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file and record in the appropriate public offices (a) all certificates, documents and other instruments (including, without
limitation, this Agreement and the Certificate and all amendments or restatements thereof) that the General Partner or any Liquidator deems appropriate or necessary to form, qualify or continue the

consistent with the terms of this Agreement or appropriate or necessary, in the sole discretion of the General Partner or any Liquidator, to effectuate the terms or intent of this Agreement. 




        Nothing
contained in this Section 15.11 shall be construed as authorizing the General Partner or any Liquidator to amend this Agreement except in accordance with
Article XIV hereof or as may be otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement. 


        B.    Irrevocable Nature.    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 or any Liquidator 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 Assignee and the transfer of all or any portion of such
Limited Partner's or Assignee's Partnership Units and shall extend to such Limited Partner's or Assignee's heirs, successors, assigns and personal representatives. Each such Limited Partner or
Assignee hereby agrees to be bound by any representation made by the General Partner or any Liquidator, acting in good faith pursuant to such power of attorney; and each such Limited Partner or
Assignee hereby waives any and all defenses which may be available to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the General Partner or any Liquidator, taken in good faith under such power of
attorney. Each Limited Partner or Assignee 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 15.12.    Entire Agreement    


        This
Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement among the Partners with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior written oral understandings or
agreements among them with respect thereto. 


        Section 15.13.    No Rights as Stockholders    


        Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon the holders of the Partnership Units any rights whatsoever as stockholders of the General Partner Entity,
including, without limitation, any right to receive dividends or other distributions made to stockholders of the General Partner Entity or to vote or to consent or receive notice as stockholders in
respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the General Partner Entity or any other matter. 



        Section 15.14.    Limitation to Preserve REIT Status    


        To
the extent that any amount paid or credited to the General Partner or its officers, directors, employees or agents pursuant to Section 7.04 or Section 7.07 hereof would
constitute gross income to the General Partner Entity for purposes of Section 856(c)(2) or 856(c)(3) of the Code (a "General Partner Payment") then, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the amount of such General Partner Payments for any fiscal year shall not exceed the lesser of: 



        (i)
an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) 4.20% of the General Partner Entity's total gross income (but not including the amount of any General Partner Payments) for the
fiscal year 



46







 

which
is described in subsections (A) though (H) of Section 856(c)(2) of the Code over (b) the amount of gross income (within the meaning of Section 856(c)(2) of the
Code) derived by the General Partner Entity from sources other than those described in subsections (A) through (H) of Section 856(c)(2) of the Code (but not including the amount
of any General Partner Payments); or 


        (ii)
an amount equal to the excess, if any of (a) 25% of the General Partner Entity's total gross income (but not including the amount of any General Partner Payments) for the
fiscal year which is described in subsections (A) through (I) of Section 856(c)(3) of the Code over (b) the amount of gross income (within the meaning of
Section 856(c)(3) of the Code) derived by the General Partner Entity from sources other than those described in subsections (A) through (I) of Section 856(c)(3) of the Code
(but not including the amount of any General Partner Payments); 




provided, however, that General Partner Payments in excess of the amounts set forth in subparagraphs
(i) and (ii) above may be made if the General Partner Entity, as a condition precedent, obtains an opinion of tax counsel that the receipt of such excess amounts would not adversely
affect the General Partner Entity's ability to qualify as a REIT. To the extent General Partner Payments may not be made in a year due to the foregoing limitations, such General Partner Payments shall
carry over and be treated as arising in the following year, provided, however, that such amounts shall
not carry over for more than five years, and if not paid within such five year period, shall expire; provided,  further, that (i) as General Partner
Payments are made, such payments shall be applied first to carryover amounts outstanding, if any, and
(ii) with respect to carryover amounts for more than one Partnership Year, such payments shall be applied to the earliest Partnership Year first.

   EXHIBIT B

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-l(b)(2)(iv). Such
Capital Account shall be increased by (i) the amount of all Capital Contributions and any other deemed contributions made by such Partner to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement and
(ii) 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
Section 6.01 of the Agreement and Exhibit C hereof, and decreased by (x) the amount of cash or Agreed Value of all actual and deemed distributions of cash or property made to such
Partner pursuant to this Agreement and (y) all items of Partnership deduction and loss computed in accordance with Section 1.B hereof and allocated to such Partner pursuant to
Section 6.01 of the Agreement and 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)(1) 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-l(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-l(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4). 


        (2)   The
computation of all items of income, gain, and deduction shall be made without regard to the fact that items described in Sections 705(a)(1)(B) or 705(a)(2)(B) of the
Code are not includable in gross income or are neither currently deductible nor 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.    Generally,
a transferee (including any Assignee) of a Partnership Unit shall succeed to a pro rata portion of the Capital Account of the transferor, including where the
transfer causes a termination 


B-1







 

of
the Partnership under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code, in which case the Capital Account of the transferee and the Capital Accounts of the other holders of Partnership Units in the
terminated Partnership shall carry over to the new Partnership that is formed, for federal income tax purposes, as a result of the termination. In such event, the Carrying Values of the Partnership
properties in the reconstituted Partnership shall remain the same as they were in the terminated Partnership and the Capital Accounts of such reconstituted Partnership shall be maintained in
accordance with the principles of this Exhibit B. 


        D.    (1)    Consistent
with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-1(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 Section 6.01 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-l(b)(2)(ii)(g) (except for a liquidation resulting from the termination of the Partnership under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code),  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- l(b)(2)(iv)(e), the Carrying Value of Partnership assets distributed in kind (other than in connection
with the termination of the Partnership under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code) shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such
Partnership property, as of the time any such asset is distributed. 


        (4)   In
determining Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss for purposes of this Exhibit B, 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 XIII of the Agreement, shall 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 fair market 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 the Agreement (including this Exhibit B and the other Exhibits to the 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 without regard to Article XIV of the Agreement, provided that it is not likely to have a material effect on the
amounts distributable to any Person pursuant to Article XIII 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 


B-2







 

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). 



2.    No Interest    


        No
interest shall be paid by the Partnership on Capital Contributions or on balances in Partners' Capital Accounts. 


3.    No Withdrawal    


        No
Partner shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Contribution or Capital Account or to receive any distribution from the Partnership, except as provided in Articles IV,
V, VII and XIII of the Agreement. 


B-3








   EXHIBIT C

SPECIAL 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 Section 6.01 of the Agreement or any other
provisions of this Exhibit C, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership Year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain
for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, 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 Section 1.704-2(f)(6). 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 Section 6.01 of this Agreement with respect to such Partnership Year and without regard to any decrease in Partner Minimum Gain during such Partnership Year. 



        B.    Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback.    Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 6.01 of this 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
Partnership Year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations
Section1.704-2(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 Section1.704-2(i) (5). Allocations
pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in
accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) (4). 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 Section 6.01 of the
Agreement or this Exhibit with respect to such Partnership 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-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), and after giving effect to the
allocations required under Sections 1.A and 1.B hereof with respect to such Partnership Year, such Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Partnership income and gain (consisting of
a pro rata portion of each item of Partnership income, including gross income and gain for the Partnership Year) shall be specially 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 Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 


        D.    Gross Income Allocation.    In the event that any Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of
any Partnership Year (after taking into account allocations to be made under 



C-1







 




the
preceding paragraphs hereof with respect to such Partnership Year), each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each
item of Partnership income, including gross income and gain for the Partnership Year) in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, its Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit. 


        E.    Nonrecourse Deductions.    Nonrecourse Deductions for any Partnership Year shall be allocated to the holders of
Class A Units in accordance with their respective Percentage 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 for such Partnership Year to the numerically closest ratio which would satisfy such requirements. 


        F.    Partner Nonrecourse Deductions.    Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Partnership 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). 


        G.    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
Section1.704-l(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. 




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 Section 6.01 of the Agreement and Section 1 of this
Exhibit C. 



        B.    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 among the Partners as follows: 



        (a)   (1)
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 to take into account the variation between the 704(c) Value of such property and its adjusted basis at the time of contribution (taking into account Section 2.C of this
Exhibit C); 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 Section 6.01 of the Agreement and Section 1 of this Exhibit C. 


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



          (i)  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; 


         (ii)  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 




C-2







 






        (d)   any
item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to an Adjusted Property shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner its correlative item of "book"
gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Agreement and Section 1 of this Exhibit C. 




        C.    To
the extent Regulations promulgated pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code permit a Partnership to utilize alternative methods to eliminate the disparities
between the Carrying Value of property and its adjusted basis, the General Partner shall have the authority to elect the method to be used by the Partnership and such election shall be binding on all
Partners.
