Property, the Agreed Value of such property, reduced in either case (but not

Adjusted Property, as the case may be, charged to the Partners' Capital Accounts
following the contribution of or adjustment with respect to such property, and
(ii) with respect to any other Partnership property, the adjusted basis of such
property for federal income tax purposes, all as of the time of determination.

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

                  "Conversion" has the meaning set forth in the second
WHEREAS clause hereof.

                  "Conversion Factor" means 2.0, provided that in the event that
the Company (i) declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding REIT Shares in
REIT Shares or makes a distribution to all holders of its outstanding REIT
Shares in REIT Shares; (ii) subdivides its outstanding REIT Shares; or (iii)
combines its outstanding REIT Shares into a smaller number of REIT Shares, the
Conversion Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Factor by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of REIT Shares issued and
outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, subdivision or
combination (assuming for such purpose that such dividend, distribution,
subdivision or combination has occurred as of such time), and the denominator of
which shall be the actual number of REIT Shares (determined without the above
assumption) issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend,
distribution, subdivision or combination. 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 such event (provided, however, if a
Notice of Redemption is given prior to such a record date and the Specified
Redemption Date is after such a record date, then the adjustment to the
Conversion Factor shall, with respect to such redeeming Partner, be retroactive
to the date of such Notice of Redemption). It is intended that 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 REIT Shares are issued,
redeemed or exchanged without a corresponding issuance, redemption or exchange
of OP Units. If, prior to a Specified Redemption Date, Rights (other than Rights
issued pursuant to an employee benefit plan or other compensation arrangement)
were issued and have expired, and such Rights were issued with an exercise price
that, together with the purchase price for such Rights, was below fair market
value in relation to the security or other property to be acquired upon the
exercise of such Rights, and such Rights were issued to all holders of
outstanding REIT Shares or the General Partner cannot in good faith represent
that the issuance of such Rights benefited the Limited Partners, then the
Conversion Factor applicable upon a Notice of Redemption shall be equitably
adjusted in a manner consistent with antidilution provisions in warrants and
other instruments in the case of such a below market issuance or exercise price.
A similar equitable adjustment to protect the value of OP Units shall be made in
all events if any Rights issued under a "Shareholder Rights Plan" became
exercisable and expired prior to a Specified Redemption Date.

                  "Depreciation" means, for each taxable 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.

         deems appropriate or necessary to form, qualify or continue the

         (or a partnership in which the Limited Partners have limited liability)

         action which is made or given by the Partners hereunder or is
         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.

affected by the subsequent Incapacity of any Limited Partner or Assignee and the

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

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 3.1 Purpose and Business

                  The purpose and nature of the business to be conducted by the
Partnership is (i) to conduct any business that may be lawfully conducted by a
limited partnership organized pursuant to the Act; provided, however, that such
business shall be limited to and conducted in such a manner as to permit the
Company at all times to be classified as a REIT, unless the Company ceases to
qualify as a REIT for reasons other than the conduct of the business of the
Partnership; (ii) to enter into any partnership, joint venture, limited
liability company or other similar arrangement to engage in any of the foregoing
or to own interests in any entity engaged, directly or indirectly, in any of the
foregoing; and (iii) to do anything necessary or incidental to the foregoing.
The General Partner also shall be empowered to do any and all acts and things
necessary or prudent to ensure that the Partnership will not be classified as a
"publicly traded partnership" for purposes of Section 7704 of the Code,
including but not limited to imposing restrictions on transfers and restrictions
on redemptions.

                  Section 3.2 Powers

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

                  Section 3.3 Partnership Only for Purposes Specified

                  The Partnership shall be a partnership only for the purposes
specified in Section 3.1 above, and this Agreement shall not be deemed to create
a partnership among the

                                       13
<PAGE>

Partners with respect to any activities whatsoever other than the activities
within the purposes of the Partnership as specified in Section 3.1 above.

                       CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND ISSUANCES
                            OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

                  Section 4.1 Capital Accounts and Capital Contributions of the
Partners

                  A. Capital Accounts. Capital Accounts shall be maintained for
each Partner pursuant to Exhibit B hereof. On the Effective Date, the Capital
Account balances of the General Partner and the Company shall equal the product
ot their Percentage Interest and the Agreed Value of the assets acquired by the
Partnership on the Effective Date.

                  B. General Partnership Interest. The OP Units held by the
General Partner shall be deemed to be the General Partner Interest.

                  C. No Obligation to Make Additional Capital Contributions.
Except as provided in Sections 4.2 and 10.4 hereof or elsewhere in this
Agreement, 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. Each Partner shall own the
number of OP Units set forth for such Partner in Exhibit A and shall have a
Percentage Interest in the Partnership as set forth in Exhibit A, which
Percentage Interest shall be adjusted in Exhibit A from time to time by the
General Partner to the extent necessary to reflect accurately redemptions,
additional Capital Contributions, the issuance of additional OP Units (pursuant
to any merger or otherwise), or similar events having an effect on any Partner's
Percentage Interest.

                  Section 4.2 Issuances of Partnership Interests

                  The General Partner is hereby authorized to cause the
Partnership from time to time to issue to the Partners (including the Company
and its Affiliates) or other Persons (including, without limitation, in
connection with the contribution of property to the Partnership) additional OP
Units or other Partnership Interests in one or more classes, or 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 the Limited Partner Interests issued on the
Effective Date, all as shall be determined by the General Partner in its sole
and absolute discretion subject to Delaware law, including, without limitation,
(i) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and
credit to each 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 additional OP Units or other Partnership Interests shall be issued to the
Company, unless either (a)(1) the additional Partnership Interests are issued in
connection with the grant, award or issuance of REIT Shares or other equity
interests by the Company, which REIT Shares or other equity interests have
designations, preferences and other rights such that the economic interests
attributable to such REIT Shares or other equity interests are substantially
similar to the

                                       14
<PAGE>

designations, preferences and other rights of the additional Partnership
Interests issued to the Company in accordance with this Section 4.2 and (2) the
Company shall make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in an amount equal
to the proceeds raised in connection with such issuance, or (b) the additional
Partnership Interests are issued to all Partners in proportion to their
respective Percentage Interests. In addition, the Company may acquire OP Units
from other Partners pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that the
Partnership issues Partnership Interests pursuant to this Section 4.2, the
General Partner shall make such revisions to this Agreement (without any
requirement of receiving approval of the Limited Partners) including but not
limited to the revisions described in Section 5.4, Section 6.2 and Section 8.7
hereof, as it deems necessary to reflect the issuance of such additional
Partnership Interests and the special rights, powers and duties associated
therewith. Unless specifically set forth otherwise by the General Partner, any
Partnership Interest issued after the Effective Date shall have the same rights,
powers and duties as the Partnership Interests issued on the Effective Date.

                  Section 4.3 Contributions of Proceeds of Issuances of REIT
Shares.

                  From and after the date hereof, the Company shall not issue
any additional REIT Shares (other than REIT Shares issued pursuant to Section
8.7), or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities
containing the right to subscribe for or purchase REIT Shares (collectively "New
Securities") other than to all holders of REIT Shares unless (i) the General
Partner shall cause the Partnership to issue to the Company, Partnership
Interests or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities
of the Partnership having designations, preferences and other rights, all such
that the economic interests are substantially similar to those of the New
Securities; and (ii) the Company contributes to the Partnership the proceeds
from the issuance of such New Securities and from the exercise of rights
contained in such New Securities, provided that if the proceeds received by the
Company are less than the gross proceeds of such issuance as a result of any
underwriter's discount or other expenses paid or incurred in connection with
such issuance, then the Company shall be deemed to have made a Capital
Contribution to the Partnership in the amount equal to the sum of the net
proceeds of such issuance plus the amount of such underwriter's discount and
other expenses paid by the Company (which discount and expense shall be treated
as an expense for the benefit of the Partnership for purposes of Section 7.4).
Without limiting the foregoing, the Company is expressly authorized to issue New
Securities for no tangible value or for less than fair market value, and the
General Partner is expressly authorized to cause the Partnership to issue to the
Company corresponding Partnership Interests, so long as (x) the General Partner
concludes in good faith that such issuance is in the interests of the Company
and the Partnership (for example, and not by way of limitation, the issuance of
REIT Shares and corresponding OP Units pursuant to an employee stock purchase
plan providing for employee grants or purchases of REIT Shares or employee stock
options that have an exercise price that is less than the fair market value of
the REIT Shares, either at the time of issuance or at the time of exercise); and
(y) the Company contributes all proceeds, if any, from such issuance and
exercise to the Partnership. In the case of employee acquisitions of New
Securities at a discount from fair market value or for no value in connection
with a grant of New Securities, the amount of such discount representing
compensation to the employee, as determined by the General Partner, shall be
treated as an expense of the issuance of such New Securities.

<PAGE>

                  Section 4.4 No Preemptive Rights

                  Except to the extent expressly granted by the General Partner
(on behalf of 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 OP Units or other Partnership Interests.

                  Section 4.5 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 for
the fair market value of such services, and the Partner had contributed such
cash to the capital of the Partnership.

                  Section 4.6 No Interest on Capital

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

                                    ARTICLE V
                                  DISTRIBUTIONS

                  Section 5.1 Requirement and Characterization of Distributions

                  The General Partner shall have the exclusive right and
authority to declare and cause the Partnership to make distributions as and when
and in such amounts as the General Partner deems appropriate or desirable in its
sole discretion. All distributions shall be made to Partners who are Partners on
the Partnership Record Date in accordance with their respective Percentage
Interests on such Partnership Record Date; provided that in no event may a
Partner receive a distribution with respect to an OP Unit if such Partner is
entitled to receive a distribution with respect to a REIT Share for which such
OP Unit has been exchanged and such distribution shall be made to the Company.
For so long as the Company elects to qualify as a REIT, the General Partner
shall take such reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its sole and absolute
discretion and consistent with the Company's qualification as a REIT, to make
distributions so that the Company will receive amounts sufficient to enable the
Company to satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code and
the Regulations (the "REIT Requirements") and avoid federal income taxation or
excise tax liability to the Company. 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.

                  Section 5.2 Amounts Withheld

                  All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of
any state or local tax law and Section 10.4 hereof with respect to any
allocation, payment or distribution to the General Partner, the Limited Partners
or Assignees shall be treated as amounts distributed to the

                                       16
<PAGE>

General Partner, Limited Partners or Assignees pursuant to Section 5.1 above for
all purposes under this Agreement.

                  Section 5.3 Distributions Upon Liquidation

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

                  Section 5.4 Revisions to Reflect Issuance of Additional
Partnership Interests

                  In the event that the Partnership issues additional
Partnership Interests to the General Partner, the Company 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.

                  Section 6.1 Allocations For Capital Account Purposes

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

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

 .
                  B. Net Losses. After giving effect to the special allocations
set forth in Section 1 of Exhibit C hereto, Net Losses shall be allocated to the
Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests, provided that, Net Losses
shall not be allocated to any Partner pursuant to this Section 6.1.B. to the
extent that such allocation would cause such Partner to have an Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit (or to increase an 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 6.1.B. shall be allocated to the
General Partner.

                  C. Allocation of Nonrecourse Debt. The Partners agree that
Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners
in accordance with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.752-3, as modified by
any guidance published by the Internal Revenue Service, or otherwise reasonably
interpreted.

<PAGE>

                  D. Recapture Income. Any gain allocated to the Partners upon a
Sale or Disposition of any Partnership property shall, to the extent possible,
after taking into account other required allocations of gain pursuant to Exhibit
C, 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 6.2 Revisions to Allocations to Reflect Issuance of
Additional Partnership Interests

                  In the event that the Partnership issues additional
Partnership Interests to the General Partner, the Company or any Additional
Limited Partner pursuant to Article IV hereof, the General Partner shall make
such revisions to this Article VI as it deems necessary to reflect the terms of
the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests.

                  A. Powers of General Partner. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, all management powers over the business and affairs
of the Partnership are and shall be exclusively vested in the General Partner,
and no Limited Partner shall have any right to participate in or exercise
control or management power over the business and affairs of the Partnership.
The General Partner may not be removed by the Limited Partners with or without
cause. In addition to the powers now or hereafter granted a general partner of a
limited partnership under applicable law or which are granted to the General
Partner under any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner shall
have full power and authority to do all things deemed necessary or desirable by
it on such terms and conditions as the General Partner in its sole discretion
deems appropriate, to conduct the business of the Partnership, to exercise all
powers set forth in Section 3.2 hereof and to effectuate the purposes set forth
in Section 3.1 hereof, including, without limitation:

                           i. the making of any expenditures, the lending or
         borrowing of money, including, without limitation, making prepayments
         on loans and borrowing money to permit the Partnership to make
         distributions to its Partners in such amounts as will permit the
         Company (as long as the Company qualifies as a REIT) to avoid the
         payment of any federal income tax (including, for this purpose, any
         excise tax pursuant to Section 4981 of the Code) and to make
         distributions to its shareholders sufficient to permit the Company 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 it deems necessary or desirable
         for the conduct of the activities of the Partnership;

                           ii. the making of tax, regulatory and other filings,

         the listing of any debt securities of the Partnership on any exchange;

         conversion, option, privilege or subscription right or other right
         available in connection with any assets at any time held by the
         Partnership) or the merger or other combination of the Partnership with
         or into another entity, on such terms as the General Partner deems
         proper in its sole and absolute discretion;

                           iv. the use of the assets of the Partnership
         (including, without limitation, cash on hand) for any purpose
         consistent with the terms of this Agreement, including, without
         limitation, the financing of the conduct of the operations of the
         Company, the Partnership or any of the Partnership's Subsidiaries, the
         lending of funds to other Persons (including, without limitation, the
         Company and/or the Subsidiaries of the Partnership) and the repayment

         Partnership or any other Person in which the Partnership has made a
         direct or indirect equity investment;

                           vi. the negotiation, execution, and performance of
         any contracts, conveyances or other instruments that the General
         Partner considers useful or necessary to the conduct of the
         Partnership's operations or the implementation of the General Partner's
         powers under this Agreement, including contracting with contractors,

                           ix. the collection and receipt of revenues and income

                           x. the selection and dismissal of employees of the

         partnerships, joint ventures, limited liability companies or other

         the acquisition of interests in, and the contributions of property to
         its Subsidiaries and any other Person in which it has an equity
         investment from time to time);

                           xiii. the control of any matters affecting the rights
         and obligations of the Partnership, including the settlement,

         attorney-in-fact acting under a general or limited power of attorney,
         of any right, including the right to vote, appurtenant to any assets or

<PAGE>

                           xx. 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 OP 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;

                           xxi. the approval and/or implementation of any merger
         (including a triangular merger), consolidation or other combination
         between the Partnership and another person that is not prohibited under
         this Agreement, whether with or without Consent, the terms of Section
         17-211(g) of the Act shall be applicable such that the General Partner
         shall have the right to effect any amendment to this Agreement or
         effect the adoption of a new partnership agreement for a limited
         partnership if it is the surviving or resulting limited partnership of
         the merger or consolidation (except as may be expressly prohibited
         under Section 14.1.C or Section 14.1.D); and

                           xxii. the taking of any and all actions necessary or
         desirable in furtherance of, in connection with or incidental to the
         foregoing.

                  B. No Approval by Limited Partners. 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.

                           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
(both in purpose and amount) from time to time, including upon liquidation of
the Partnership pursuant to Section 13.2 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 of any action taken

                                       21
<PAGE>

(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 not beyond its authority under this Agreement.

                  Section 7.2 Certificate of Limited Partnership

                  The Partnership has previously caused the Certificate to be
filed 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.
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. Subject to the terms of Section 8.6.A(iv) 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.

                  Section 7.3 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. 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 7.4 Reimbursement of the General Partner and the
Company

                           A. No Compensation. Except as provided in this
Section 7.4 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
Conversion, the ownership of its assets and its management, administration
and operations. The General Partner shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis, or
such other basis as the General Partner may determine in its

                                       22
<PAGE>

sole and absolute discretion, for all expenses it incurs relating to the
Conversion and the ownership, management, administration and operation of, or
for the benefit of, the Partnership (including, without limitation, expenses
related to the ownership, management and administration of any Subsidiaries of
the Company or the Partnership or Affiliates of the Partnership). 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. Such reimbursements shall be in addition to any reimbursement to
the Company pursuant to Section 10.3.C hereof and as a result of indemnification
pursuant to Section 7.7 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. Reimbursement of Company Expenses. The Company 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 that the Company
incurs relating to the ownership and operation of, or for the benefit of, the
Partnership (including, without limitation, (i) expenses relating to the
ownership of interests in the Partnership, (ii) compensation of the Company's
officers and employees including, without limitation, payments under the
Company's Stock Incentive Plans that provides for stock units, or other phantom
stock, pursuant to which employees of the Company will receive payments based
upon dividends on or the value of REIT Shares, (iii) director fees and expenses
and (iv) all costs and expenses of being a public company, including costs of
filings with the SEC, reports and other distributions to its stockholders);
provided that the amount of any such reimbursement shall be reduced by any
interest earned by the Company with respect to bank accounts or other
instruments or accounts held by it on behalf of the Partnership. The Partners
acknowledge that all such expenses of the Company are deemed to be for the
benefit of the Partnership. Such reimbursement shall be in addition to any
reimbursement made as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7
hereof.

                  D. Partnership Interest Issuance Expenses. The General Partner
shall also be reimbursed for all expenses it incurs relating to any issuance of
additional Partnership Interests, debt of the Partnership 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.

                  E. Tax Treatment of Certain Reimbursements. If and to the
extent that any reimbursement made pursuant to this Section 7.4 is determined
for federal income tax purposes not to constitute a payment of expenses of the
Partnership, then such reimbursement shall be treated as a distribution pursuant
to Article V hereof.

                  Section 7.5 Outside Activities of the General Partner and the
Company

                  A. General Partner. The General Partner shall not, directly or
indirectly, enter into or conduct any business other than in connection with the
ownership, acquisition and disposition of Partnership Interests as a General
Partner or Limited Partner and the management of the business of the Partnership
and such activities as are incidental to any of the foregoing.

                                       23
<PAGE>

                  B. Company. The Company shall not, directly or indirectly,
enter into or conduct any business other than in connection with the ownership,
acquisition and disposition of Partnership Interests as a Limited Partner, the
ownership of the General Partner and such activities as are incidental to any of
the foregoing, and any other activities contemplated hereby.

                  Section 7.6 Transactions with Affiliates

                  A. Transactions with Certain Affiliates. The Partnership may
enter into transactions with Affiliates of the General Partner (including
transactions providing for the purchase or sale of property or other assets)
provided that the terms of such transactions are comparable to those that could
be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

                  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 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 the Partnership and the General Partner, on such terms as
the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, believes are
advisable.

                  D. Transfers of Assets. The Partnership may transfer assets to
joint ventures, other partnerships, corporations or other business entities in
which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such
conditions consistent with this Agreement and applicable law as the General
Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, believes are advisable.

                  Section 7.7 Indemnification

                           A. General. To the fullest extent permitted by
Delaware law, the Partnership shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys fees and other legal fees and
expenses), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts arising from any and
all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, that relate to the operations of the
Partnership, the General Partner or the Company as set forth in this Agreement,
in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a
party or otherwise, unless it is established that: (i) the act or omission of
the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the 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 guaranty or otherwise for any
indebtedness of the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership (including
without limitation, any indebtedness which the

                                       24
<PAGE>

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 7.7 in favor of any Indemnitee having or
potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. The termination of any
proceeding by conviction of an Indemnitee or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent by an Indemnitee, or an entry of an order of probation against an
Indemnitee prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that such
Indemnitee acted in a manner that would preclude indemnification under this
Section 7.7. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only
out of the assets of the Partnership, and neither the General Partner nor any
Limited Partner shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the
Partnership, or otherwise provide funds, to enable the Partnership to fund its
obligations under this Section 7.7.

                           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, in the case of any director or officer
who is 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 Section 7.7.A has been met and (ii) a written undertaking by or on
behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.

                           C. No Limitation of Rights. The indemnification
provided by this Section 7.7 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 7.7, (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 7.7 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 in the interest of the participants and
beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose that is not
opposed to the best interests of the Partnership

                                       25
<PAGE>

                           F. No Personal Liability for Limited Partner. In no
event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Partners to 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 7.7 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 7.7 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 7.7, or
any provision hereof, shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect
the obligation of the Partnership to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.7 as in
effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect
to claims arising from or 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 7.7
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 7.8 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 acted in good faith.

                           B. No Obligation to Consider Separate Interests of
Limited Partners or Shareholders. The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge
that the General Partner is acting on behalf of the Partnership, 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) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to take (or
decline to take) any actions and that the General Partner shall not be liable
for monetary damages 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. In addition, the
Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the Company is acting on behalf of
its shareholders, that the Company, in its capacity as the sole member of 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) in deciding whether to cause the General Partner
to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions and that the
Company shall not be liable for monetary damages or otherwise for losses
sustained, liabilities

                                       26
<PAGE>

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 7.1.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
agents (including the Advisor). The General Partner shall not be responsible for
any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent (including the
Advisor) appointed by the General Partner in good faith.

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

                  Section 7.9 Other Matters Concerning the General Partner

                           A. 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. 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 advice 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 advice.

                           C. Action Through Agents. The General Partner shall
have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to
employ persons in the operation and management of the business of the
Partnership, including but not limited to, the Advisor, supervisory managing
agents, building management agents, insurance, real estate and loan brokers,
agents, employees, managers, accountants, attorneys, consultants and others, on
such terms and for such compensation as the General Partner shall determine. In
addition, the General Partner may act through any of its duly authorized
officers or a duly appointed attorney or attorneys-in-fact. Each such attorney
shall, to the extent provided by the General Partner in the power of attorney,
have full power and authority to do and perform all and every act and duty which
is permitted or required to be done by the General Partner hereunder.

                           D. Actions to Maintain REIT Status or Avoid Taxation.
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

                                       27
<PAGE>

necessary or advisable in order (i) to protect the ability of the Company to
continue to qualify as a REIT; or (ii) to avoid the Company incurring any taxes
under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, is expressly authorized under
this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners.

                           E. Actions to Avoid Publicly Traded Partnership
Status. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, 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 to
ensure that the Partnership will not be classified as a "publicly traded
partnership" for purposes of Sections 351(e), 469(k) or 7704 of the Code,
including without limitation imposing restrictions on transfers and redemptions
of OP Units hereunder and modifying the Specified Redemption Date, is expressly
authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all the Limited
Partners; provided however, that the General Partner shall be under no
obligation to avoid publicly traded partnership status for the Partnership if
the General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the
avoidance of such status is no longer in the best interests of the Partners.

                  Section 7.10 Purchase of REIT Shares by Company

                  In the event that the Company shall elect to purchase from its
shareholders REIT Shares for the purpose of delivering such REIT Shares to
satisfy an obligation under any dividend reinvestment program adopted by the
Company, any employee stock purchase plan adopted by the Company, or any similar
obligation or arrangement undertaken by the Company in the future or for the
purpose of retiring such REIT Shares, the purchase price paid by the Company for
such REIT Shares and any other expenses incurred by the Company in connection
with such purchase shall be considered expenses of the Partnership and shall be
advanced to the Company or reimbursed to the Company, subject to the condition
that: (i) if such REIT Shares subsequently are sold by the Company, the Company
shall pay to the Partnership any proceeds received by the Company for such REIT
Shares (which sales proceeds shall include the amount of dividends reinvested
under any dividend reinvestment or similar program provided that a transfer of
REIT Shares for OP Units pursuant to Section 8.7 would not be considered a sale
for such purposes); and (ii) if such REIT Shares are not retransferred by the
Company within thirty (30) days after the purchase thereof, or the Company
otherwise determines not to retransfer such REIT Shares, the General Partner
shall cause the Partnership to redeem a number of OP Units held by the Company,
as a Limited Partner, equal to the product obtained by dividing the number of
such REIT Shares by the Conversion Factor (in which case such advancement or
reimbursement of expenses shall be treated as having been made as a distribution
in redemption of such number of Units held by the Company).

                  Section 7.11 Reliance by Third Parties

                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
any Person dealing with the Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the
General Partner has full power and authority, without consent or approval of any
other Partner or Person, to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any
and all assets of the Partnership and to enter into any contracts on behalf of
the Partnership, and take any and all actions on behalf of the Partnership and
such

                                       28
<PAGE>

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.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                  Section 8.1 Limitation of Liability

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 or agent 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 8.3 [Intentionally Left Blank]

                  Section 8.4 Outside Activities of Limited Partners

                  Subject to any agreements entered into pursuant to Section
7.6.C hereof and any other agreements entered into by a Limited Partner or its
Affiliates with the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries, any Limited Partner
(other than the Company) and any officer, director, employee, agent, trustee,
Affiliate or shareholder of any Limited Partner shall be entitled to and may
have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those
relating to the Partnership, including business interests and activities that
are in direct competition with the Partnership or that are enhanced by the
activities of the Partnership. Neither the Partnership nor

                                       29
<PAGE>

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 Company) 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 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 8.5 Return of Capital

                  Except pursuant to the right of redemption set forth in
Section 8.7 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 or
as to profits, losses or distributions.

                  Section 8.6 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 Section 8.6.C 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:

                           i. to obtain a copy of the most recent annual and
quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the
Company pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;

                           ii. to obtain a copy of the Partnership's federal,
state and local income tax returns for each Partnership Year,

                           iii. to obtain a current list of the name and last
known business, residence or mailing address of each Partner, and

                           iv. to obtain a copy of this Agreement and the
Certificate of Limited Partnership and all amendments thereto, together with
executed copies of all powers of attorney pursuant to which this Agreement, the
Certificate of Limited Partnership and all amendments thereto have been
executed.

                  B. Notice of Conversion Factor. The Partnership shall notify
each Limited Partner, upon request, of the then current Conversion Factor and,
with reasonable detail, how the same was determined.

                  C. Confidentiality. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Section 8.6, 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

                                       30
<PAGE>

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 8.7 Redemption Right

                  A. General. Subject to Sections 8.7.B and 8.7.C hereof, on or
after that date which is 12 months after the issuance of OP Units to a Limited
Partner other than the Company, such Limited Partner shall have the right (the
"Redemption Right") to require the Partnership to redeem on a Specified
Redemption Date the OP Units held by such Limited Partner (or such lesser amount
as the General Partner may permit) at a redemption price per OP Unit equal to
and in the form of the Cash Amount to be paid by the Partnership. The Redemption
Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the
Partnership (with a copy to the Company) by the Limited Partner who is
exercising the redemption right (the "Redeeming Partner"); provided, however,
that the Partnership shall not be obligated to satisfy such Redemption Right if
the Company elects to purchase the OP Units subject to the Notice of Redemption
pursuant to Section 8.7.B. A Limited Partner may not exercise the Redemption
Right for less than all of the OP Units held by such Partner unless the General
Partner otherwise consents. The Redeeming Partner shall have no right, with
respect to any OP Units so redeemed, to receive any distributions paid on or
after the Specified Redemption Date. The Assignee of any Limited Partner may
exercise the rights of such Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 8.7, 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 Assignee. In
connection with any exercise of such rights by an Assignee on behalf of a
Limited Partner, the Cash Amount shall be paid by the Partnership directly to
such Assignee and not to such Limited Partner.

                  B. Redemption by Company. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 8.7.A, a Limited Partner that exercises the Redemption Right shall be
deemed to have offered to sell the OP Units described in the Notice of
Redemption to the Company. The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion
(subject to any limitations on ownership and transfer of REIT Shares set forth
in the Certificate of Incorporation), elect to assume directly and satisfy a
Redemption Right by paying to the Redeeming Partner either the Cash Amount or
the REIT Shares Amount, as the Company determines in its sole and absolute
discretion on the Specified Redemption Date, whereupon the Company shall acquire
the OP Units offered for redemption by the Redeeming Partner and shall be
treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such OP Units. If the
Company shall elect to exercise its right to purchase OP Units under this
Section 8.7.B with respect to a Notice of Redemption, it shall so notify the
Redeeming Partner within five (5) Business Days after the receipt by it of such
Notice of Redemption. Unless the Company (in its sole and absolute discretion)
shall exercise its right to purchase OP Units from the Redeeming Partner
pursuant to this Section 8.7.B, the Company shall not have any obligation to the
Redeeming Partner or the Partnership with respect to the Redeeming Partner's
exercise of the Redemption Right. In the event the Company shall exercise its
right to purchase OP Units with respect to the exercise of a Redemption Right in
the manner described in the first sentence of this Section 8.7.B, the
Partnership shall have no obligation to pay any amount to the Redeeming Partner
with respect to such Redeeming Partner's exercise of such Redemption Right, and
each of the Redeeming Partner, the Partnership, and the Company shall treat the

                                       31
<PAGE>

transaction between the Company and the Redeeming Partner, for federal income
tax purposes, as a sale of the Redeeming Partner's OP Units to the Company. Each
Redeeming Partner agrees to execute such documents as the Company may reasonably
require in connection with the issuance of REIT Shares upon exercise of the
Redemption Right.. In the event that the Company determines to pay the Redeeming
Partner the Redemption Amount in the form of REIT Shares, the total number of
REIT Shares to be paid to the Redeeming Partner in exchange for the Redeeming
Partner's OP Units shall be the applicable REIT Shares Amount. In the event this
amount is not a whole number of REIT Shares, the Redeeming Partner shall be paid
(i) that number of REIT Shares that equals the nearest whole number less than
such amount plus (ii) an amount of cash which the Company determines, in its
reasonable discretion, to represent the fair value of the remaining fractional
Share which would otherwise be payable to the Redeeming Partner.

                  C. Exceptions to Exercise of Redemption Right. Notwithstanding
the provisions of Sections 8.7.A and 8.7.B above, a Partner shall not be
entitled to exercise the Redemption Right pursuant to Section 8.7.A above if
(but only as long as) the delivery of REIT Shares to such Partner on the
Specified Redemption Date (i) would be prohibited under the Certificate of
Incorporation, or (ii) as long as the REIT Shares are Publicly Traded, would be
prohibited under applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations
(assuming the Company would in fact assume and satisfy the Redemption Right).
Furthermore, the Redemption Right pursuant to Sections 8.7.A and 8.7.B shall be
subject to any restrictions on redemptions imposed by the General Partner
pursuant to Section 7.9.E hereof.

                  D. No Liens on Partnership Units Delivered for Redemption.
Each Limited Partner covenants and agrees with the Company that all OP Units
delivered for redemption shall be delivered to the Partnership or the Company,
as the case may be, free and clear of all liens, and, notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, neither the Company nor the Partnership shall
be under any obligation to acquire OP Units that are or may be subject to any
liens. Each Limited Partner further agrees that, in the event the General
Partner determines that any state or local real property transfer, gains, excise
or other similar tax is required to be paid in connection with the transfer of
its OP Units to the Partnership or the Company, such Limited Partner shall
assume full liability for and shall pay when due such transfer tax. Each Limited
Partner hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Partnership a
security interest in such Limited Partner's OP Units to secure such Limited
Partner's obligation to pay all amounts required to be paid pursuant to this
Section 8.7D, and shall take such actions as the General Partner shall request
in order to perfect, maintain or enforce such security interest.

                  E. Additional Partnership Interests. In the event that the
Partnership issues additional Partnership Interests pursuant to Section 4.2
hereof, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Section 8.7 as it
determines are necessary to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership
Interests.

                                   ARTICLE IX

the Partnership appropriate books and records with respect to the Partnership's
business, including, without limitation, all books and records necessary to

required to be provided pursuant to Section 9.3 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, computer disk,
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

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

                  Section 9.3 Reports

event later than one hundred five (105) days after the close of each Partnership
Year, the General Partner shall cause to be mailed to each Limited Partner as of
the close of the Partnership Year, an annual report containing financial
statements of the Partnership, or of the Company if such statements are prepared
solely on a consolidated basis with the Company, 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.

                           B. Quarterly Reports. As soon as practicable, but in
no event later than one hundred five (105) days after the close of each calendar
quarter (except the last calendar quarter of each year), the General Partner
shall cause to be mailed to each Limited Partner as of the last day of the
calendar quarter, a report containing unaudited financial statements of the
Partnership, or of the Company, if such statements are prepared solely on a
consolidated basis with the Company, and such other information as may be
required by applicable law or regulation, or as the General Partner determines
to be appropriate.

                                   TAX MATTERS

                  Section 10.1 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 10.2 Tax Elections

                  Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner
shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine whether to make any

                                       33
<PAGE>

Partner's determination in its sole and absolute discretion that such revocation
is in the best interests of the Partners.

                  Section 10.3      Tax Matters Partner

                  A. General. The General Partner shall be the "tax matters

an administrative proceeding with respect to the Partnership, the tax matters

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.

                                       34
<PAGE>

                  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 7.7 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 become 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, as long as the compensation paid by the Partnership for
such services is reasonable.

                  Section 10.4 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 OP Units to secure
such Limited Partner's obligation to pay to the Partnership any amounts required
to be paid pursuant to this Section 10.4. In the event that a Limited Partner
fails to pay all amounts owed to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 10.4
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 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 General Partner shall request in order to
perfect, maintain or enforce the security interest created hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                            TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS

                  Section 11.1 Transfer

                           A. Definition. The "transfer," when used in this
Article XI with respect to a Partnership Interest or an OP 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 OP Units by the Partnership from a Limited
Partner or acquisition of OP Units from a Limited Partner by the Company
pursuant to Section 8.7 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 no part of the interest of a
Limited Partner may 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 11.2 Transfers of Partnership Interests of General
Partner and the Company

                           A. Except as provided elsewhere in this Agreement,
the General Partner may not transfer any of its General Partner Interest or
withdraw as General Partner, and the Company may not transfer any of its Limited
Partner Interest or engage in an Extraordinary Transaction, except, in any such
case, (i) if such Extraordinary Transaction is, or such transfer or withdrawal
is pursuant to an Extraordinary Transaction that is, permitted under Section
11.2(B) or (ii) if Limited Partners holding at least a majority of the
Percentage Interests of the Limited Partners consent to such transfer or
withdrawal or Extraordinary Transaction, or (iii) if such transfer is to an
entity that is wholly-owned by the Company and is either a Disregarded Entity or
a Qualified REIT Subsidiary under Section 856(i) of the Code.

                           B. The General Partner and the Company are permitted
to engage in the following Extraordinary Transactions without the approval or
vote of the Limited Partners:

                                   (i) an Extraordinary Transaction in
connection with which all Limited Partners either will receive, or will have the
right to elect to receive, for each OP Unit an amount of cash, securities, or
other property equal to the product of the REIT Shares Amount and the greatest
amount of cash, securities or other property paid to a holder of one REIT Share
in consideration of one REIT Share pursuant to the terms of the Extraordinary
Transaction; provided that, if, in connection with the Extraordinary
Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer shall have been made to and
accepted by the holders of the outstanding REIT

                                       36
<PAGE>

Shares, each holder of OP 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 its right to Redemption (as set
forth in Section 8.7) and received REIT Shares in exchange for its Partnership
Units immediately prior to the expiration of such purchase, tender or exchange
offer and had thereupon accepted such purchase, tender or exchange offer and
then such Extraordinary Transaction shall have been consummated; and

                                    (ii) a merger, or other combination of
assets, with another entity if: (w) immediately after such Extraordinary
Transaction, substantially all of the assets directly or indirectly owned by the
Partnership are owned directly or indirectly by the Partnership or another
limited partnership or limited liability company which is the survivor of a
merger, consolidation or combination of assets with the Partnership (in each
case, the "Surviving Partnership"); (x) the Limited Partners own a percentage
interest of the Surviving Partnership based on the relative fair market value of
the net assets of the Partnership (as determined pursuant to Section 11.2.C) and
the other net assets of the Surviving Partnership (as determined pursuant to
Section 11.2.C) immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction; (y)
the rights, preferences and privileges of the Limited Partners in the Surviving
Partnership are at least as favorable as those in effect immediately prior to
the consummation of such transaction and as those applicable to any other
limited partners or non-managing members of the Surviving Partnership; and (z)
such rights of the Limited Partners include the right to exchange their
interests in the Surviving Partnership for at least one of: (a) the
consideration available to such Limited Partners pursuant to Section 11.2.B(i)
or (b) if the ultimate controlling person of the Surviving Partnership has
publicly traded common equity securities, such common equity securities, with an
exchange ratio based on the relative fair market value of such securities (as
determined pursuant to Section 11.2.C) and the REIT Shares.

                           C. In connection with any transaction permitted by
Section 11.2.B, the relative fair market values shall be reasonably determined
by the General Partner as of the time of such transaction and, to the extent
applicable, shall be no less favorable to the Limited Partners than the relative
values reflected in the terms of such transaction.

                  Section 11.3 Limited Partners' Rights to Transfer

                  A. General. Prior to the first anniversary of the issuance of
OP Units to a Limited Partner other than the Company, such OP Units may not be
transferred in whole or in part, directly, indirectly or beneficially, without
the prior written consent of the General Partner, which consent the General
Partner may withhold in its sole discretion; provided, however, that it is
expressly understood that subject to the provisions of Sections 7.9.E, 11.3.C,
11.3.D, 11.3.E, 11.4 and 11.6 below each Limited Partner will be permitted to
make one or more transfers to any Affiliated Transferee of such Limited Partner.
Commencing on the first anniversary of the issuance of OP Units to a Limited
Partner other than the Company, and subject to the provisions of Sections 7.9.E,
11.3.C, 11.3.D, 11.3.E, 11.4 and 11.6 below, a Limited Partner (other than the
Company or any Subsidiary thereof) may transfer all or any portion of its OP
Units to any person, provided such Limited Partner obtains the prior written
consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld only if the
General Partner determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that
such a transfer would cause the Partnership or any or all of the Partners other
than the Limited Partner seeking to transfer its rights as a Limited Partner to
be

                                       37
<PAGE>

subject to tax liability as a result of such transfer. Any purported transfer
attempted in violation of the foregoing sentence shall be deemed void ab initio
and shall have no force or effect.

                  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 OP 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 OP Unit.

                  D. No Transfers Affecting Tax Status of Partnership. The
General Partner may prohibit any transfer of OP Units by a Limited Partner if
(i) the General Partner determines that such transfer would result in the
Partnership being treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal
income tax purposes; (ii) it would adversely affect the ability of the Company
to continue to qualify as a REIT or would subject the Company to any additional
taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code; (iii) the General Partner
determines that such transfer is being 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 would otherwise
violate any restrictions imposed by the General Partner pursuant to Section 7.9E
hereof; (iv) 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); (v) such transfer would, in the opinion of legal
counsel for the Partnership, cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership
to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of
Labor Regulations Section 2510.2-101; or (vi) such transfer would subject the
Partnership to be regulated 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.

                  E. No Transfers to Holders of Nonrecourse Liabilities. No
pledge or transfer of any OP Units may be made to a lender to the Partnership or
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.

                  Section 11.4 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 11.4 as
a Substituted Limited Partner, which consent may be given or withheld by the

                                       38
<PAGE>

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 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 2.5 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 OP 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 11.5 Assignees

                  If the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion,
does not consent to the admission of any permitted transferee under Section 11.3
above as a Substituted Limited Partner, as described in Section 11.4 above, then
so long as the General Partner is not prohibiting the proposed transfer pursuant
to Sections 11.3C, 11.3D or 11.3E (in which event the transfer shall be void ab
initio and shall have no force or effect), such transferee shall be considered
an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement, subject, however, to Section 11.6E
hereof. 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 OP Units assigned to such
transferee, and shall have the rights granted to the Limited Partners under
Section 8.7 hereof, but shall not be deemed to be a holder of OP Units for any
other purpose under this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to vote such OP
Units in any matter presented to the Limited Partners for a vote (such OP Units
being deemed to have been voted on such matter in the same proportion as all
other OP Units held by Limited Partners are voted). In the event any such
transferee desires to make a further assignment of any such OP 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 OP Units.

                  Section 11.6 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 OP Units in accordance with this Article XI or
pursuant to redemption of all of its OP Units under Section 8.7 hereof.

                                       39
<PAGE>

                           B. Termination of Status as Limited Partner Any
Limited Partner who shall transfer all of its OP Units in a transfer permitted
pursuant to this Article XI or pursuant to redemption of all of its OP Units
under Section 8.7 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.

                           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 8.7 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). All distributions attributable to any
OP 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
OP 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 8.7 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; or (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.

                                   ARTICLE XII
                              ADMISSION OF PARTNERS

                  Section 12.1 Admission of Successor General Partner

   A successor to all of the General Partner Interest pursuant to Section 11.2
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 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. In the case
of such admission on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, all
items attributable to the General Partner Interest for such Partnership Year

                                       40
<PAGE>

shall be allocated between the transferring General Partner and such successor
as provided in Section 11.6.D hereof.

                  Section 12.2 Admission of Additional Limited Partners

                           A. General. A Person who makes a Capital Contribution
to the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement shall be admitted to the
Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner 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 2.5 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.2,
no Person shall be admitted as an Additional Limited Partner without the consent
of the General Partner, which consent may be given or withheld in the General
Partner's sole and absolute discretion. 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 Partner. 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 shall be
prorated based upon the applicable period selected by the General 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 distributions thereafter shall be made
to all the Partners and Assignees including such Additional Limited Partner.

                  Section 12.3 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 2.5 hereof.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                           DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

                  Section 13.1      Dissolution

                                       41
<PAGE>

                  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, only upon the first to occur of any of the
following ("Liquidating Events"):

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

                  B. an election to dissolve the Partnership made by the General
Partner with the Consent of Partners holding a majority of the Percentage
Interests of the Limited Partners;

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

                  D. the sale or exchange of all or substantially all of the
assets and properties of the Partnership for cash or marketable securities; or

                  E. a final and non-appealable judgment is entered by a court
of competent jurisdiction ruling that the General Partner is bankrupt or
insolvent, or a final and non-appealable 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 the entry of such order or judgment all of the remaining
Partners agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the
appointment, effective as of a date prior to the date of such order or judgment,
of a substitute General Partner.

                  Section 13.2      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
inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the
Partnership's business and affairs. The General Partner (or, in the event there
is no remaining General Partner, any Person elected by a Majority in Interest of
the Limited Partners (the "Liquidator")) shall be responsible for overseeing the
winding up and dissolution of the Partnership and shall take full account of the
Partnership's liabilities and property and the Partnership property shall be
liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair 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;

                                       42
<PAGE>

                                    (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.

                           B. Deferred Liquidation. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 13.2.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 13.2.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 13.3 Compliance with Timing Requirements of
Regulations

                  Subject to Section 13.4 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)

                                       43
<PAGE>

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, that such withheld amounts shall be
distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners as soon as practicable.

                  Section 13.4 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, unless otherwise provided in
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), 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.

                  Section 13.5 Rights of Limited Partners

                  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Limited
Partner shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return of its
Capital 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 13.6 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 13.1 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 13.7 Cancellation of Certificate of Limited
Partnership

                  Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership cash
and property as provided in Section 13.2 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 13.8 Reasonable Time for Winding Up

                                       44
<PAGE>

                  A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding up
of the business and affairs of the Partnership and the liquidation of its assets
pursuant to Section 13.2 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 13.9 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.

                                   ARTICLE XIV
                  AMENDMENT OF PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT; MEETINGS

                  Section 14.1 Amendments

                  A. General. Amendments to this Agreement may be proposed only
by the General Partner. Following such proposal, the General Partner shall
submit any proposed amendment to the Limited Partners. The General Partner shall
seek the written vote of the Partners on the proposed amendment or shall call a
meeting to vote thereon and to transact any other business that it may deem
appropriate. For purposes of obtaining a written vote, the General Partner may
require a response within a reasonable specified time, but not less than fifteen
(15) days, and failure to respond in such time period shall constitute a vote
which is consistent with the General Partner's recommendation with respect to
the proposal. Except as provided in Section 14.1.B, 14.1.C or 14.1.D, a proposed
amendment shall be adopted and be effective as an amendment hereto if it is
approved by the General Partner and it receives the Consent of Partners holding
a majority of the Percentage Interests of the Limited Partners.

                  B. Amendments Not Requiring Limited Partner Approval.
Notwithstanding Section 14.1.A, the General Partner shall have the power,
without the consent of the Limited Partners, to amend this Agreement as may be
required to facilitate or implement any provision of this Agreement which is
within the General Partner's discretion hereunder, including without limitation,
the following:

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

                           (2) to reflect the admission, substitution,
termination, or withdrawal of Partners in accordance with this Agreement;

                           (3) to set forth and reflect in the Agreement the
designations, rights, powers, duties, and preferences of the holders of any
additional Partnership Interests issued pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof;

                                       45
<PAGE>

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

                           (5) to satisfy any requirements, conditions, or
guidelines contained in any order, directive, opinion, ruling or regulation of a
federal or state agency or contained in federal or state law.

The General Partner shall provide notice to the Limited Partners when any action
under this Section 14.1.B is taken.

                  C. Amendments Requiring Limited Partner Approval.
Notwithstanding Section 14.1.A or Section 14.1.B hereof, the General Partner
shall not (except in connection with amendments made to reflect the issuance of
additional Partnership Interests and the relative rights, powers and duties
incident thereto) amend Sections 4.2, 7.5, and 11.2, this Section 14.1.C or
Section 14.2 without the Consent of Limited Partners holding a majority of the
Percentage Interests of the Limited Partners, excluding Limited Partner
Interests held by the Company if the Company is not the sole Limited Partner.

                  D. Other Amendments Requiring Certain Limited Partner
Approval. Notwithstanding Section 14.1.A and 14.1.B hereof, this Agreement shall
not be amended without the Consent of each Partner adversely affected if such
amendment would (i) convert a Limited Partner's interest in the Partnership into
a General Partner Interest; (ii) modify the limited liability of a Limited
Partner in a manner adverse to such Limited Partner; (iii) alter rights of the
Partner (other than as a result of the issuance of Partnership Interests) to
receive distributions pursuant to Article V or Article XIII or alter the
allocations specified in Article VI (except as provided for in Exhibit B or as
permitted pursuant to Section 4.2 and Section 14.1.B(3) hereof); (iv) alter or
modify the Redemption Right and REIT Shares Amount as set forth in Sections 8.7
and 11.2.B, and the related definitions, in a manner adverse to such Partner,
subject (in the case of the Redemption Right) to the General Partner's
authorization to impose additional restrictions or modify existing restrictions
on the redemption of OP Units; or (v) amend this Section 14.1.D. In addition,
Section 8.7 may only be amended as provided therein.

                  E. Amendment and Restatement of Exhibit A Not An Amendment.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article XIV or elsewhere in this Agreement to
the contrary, any amendment and restatement of Exhibit A hereto by the General
Partner to reflect events or changes otherwise authorized or permitted by this
Agreement, whether pursuant to Section 7.1.A(xx) hereof or otherwise, shall not
be deemed an amendment of this Agreement and may be done at any time and from
time to time, as necessary by the General Partner without the Consent of the
Limited Partners.

                  Section 14.2 Meetings of the Partners

                  A. General. Meetings of the Partners may be called only by the
General Partner. The call shall state the nature of the business to be
transacted. Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all Partners not less
than seven (7) days nor more than thirty (30) days

                                       46
<PAGE>

prior to the date of such meeting; provided that a Partner's attendance at any
meeting of Partners shall be deemed a waiver of the foregoing notice requirement
with respect to such Partner. Partners may vote in person or by proxy at such
meeting. Whenever the vote or Consent of Partners is permitted or required under
this Agreement, such vote or Consent may be given at a meeting of Partners or
may be given in accordance with the procedure prescribed in Section 14.1.A
above. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Consent of
holders of a majority of the Percentage Interests held by Limited Partners shall
control.

                  B. Actions Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted
to be taken at a meeting of the Partners may be taken without a meeting if a
written consent setting forth the action so taken is signed by a majority of the
Percentage Interests of the Partners (or such other percentage as is expressly
required by this Agreement). Such consent may be in one instrument or in several
instruments, and shall have the same force and effect as a vote of a majority of
the Percentage Interests of the Partners (or such other percentage as is
expressly required by this Agreement). Such consent shall be filed with the
General Partner. An action so taken shall be deemed to have been taken at a
meeting held on the effective date so certified.

                  C. Proxy. Each Limited Partner may authorize any Person or
Persons to act for such Limited Partner by proxy on all matters in which a
Limited Partner is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any
meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. Every proxy must be signed by
the Limited Partner or its attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the
expiration of eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided
in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Limited
Partner executing it, such revocation to be effective upon the Partnership's
receipt of notice thereof in writing.

                  D. Conduct of Meeting. Each meeting of Partners shall be
conducted by the General Partner or such other Person as the General Partner may
appoint pursuant to such rules for the conduct of the meeting as the General
Partner or such other Person deems appropriate.

                           CAPITAL ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE

                  A. The Partnership shall maintain for each Partner a separate
Capital Account in accordance with the rules of Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). The initial Capital Account balance of each Person who is a
Partner on the Execution Date shall be as set forth in Section 4.1.A of the
Agreement. Such Capital Account shall be increased by (i) the amount of all
Capital Contributions and any 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 6.1.A 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 6.1.B 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
         1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the computation of all items of income, gain,
         loss and deduction shall be made without regard to any election under
         Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Partnership, provided
         that the amounts of any adjustments to the adjusted bases of the assets
         of the Partnership made pursuant to Section 734 of the Code as a result
         of the distribution of property by the Partnership to a Partner (to the
         extent that such adjustments have not previously been reflected in the
         Partners' Capital Accounts) shall be reflected in the Capital Accounts
         of the Partners in the manner and subject to the limitations prescribed
         in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(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.

                                      BB-1
<PAGE>

                  (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.

                  C. A transferee (including an Assignee) of a Partnership Unit
shall succeed to a pro rata portion of the Capital Account of the transferor.

                  D. (1) Consistent with the provisions of Regulations Section
         1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), and as provided in Section 1.D(2), the Carrying
         Value 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 6.1 of the Agreement.

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

                  (3) In accordance with Regulations Section
         1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e), the Carrying Value of Partnership assets
         distributed in kind shall be adjusted upward 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 (or the Liquidator, if
         applicable) using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.
         The General Partner (or the Liquidator, if applicable) shall allocate
         such aggregate value among the assets of the Partnership (in such
         manner as it determines in its sole and absolute discretion) to arrive
         at a fair market value for individual properties.

                  E. The provisions of this Agreement (including this Exhibit B
and other Exhibits to this Agreement) relating to the maintenance of Capital
Accounts are intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(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 (i) 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; or (ii)
the manner in which items are allocated among the Partners for federal income
tax purposes in order to comply with such Regulations or to comply with Section
704(c) of the Code, the General Partner may make such modification without

                                      BB-2
<PAGE>

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 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). In addition, the General Partner may adopt and employ such methods
and procedures for (i) the maintenance of book and tax capital accounts; (ii)
the determination and allocation of adjustments under Sections 704(c), 734 and
743 of the Code; (iii) the determination of Net Income, Net Loss, taxable loss
and items thereof under this Agreement and pursuant to the Code; (iv) the
adoption of reasonable conventions and methods for the valuation of assets and
the determination of tax basis; (v) the allocation of asset value and tax basis;
and (vi) conventions for the determination of cost recovery, depreciation and
amortization deductions, as it determines in its sole discretion are necessary
or appropriate to execute the provisions of this Agreement, to comply with
federal and state tax laws, and are in the best interests of the Partners.

                                    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 6.1 of the Agreement or any other provisions of this Exhibit C, if there
is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable
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 shall be interpreted consistently
therewith. Solely for purposes of this Section 1.A, each Partner's Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations
pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Agreement or this Exhibit for such Partnership
taxable year and without regard to any decrease in Partner Minimum Gain during
such Partnership taxable year.

                  B. Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other
provision of Section 6.1 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
taxable year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain
attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with
Regulations Section 1.702-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of
Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years)
in an amount equal to such Partner's share of the net decrease in Partner
Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in
accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5). Allocations pursuant to the
previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required
to be allocated to each 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 the Section 1.B, each Partner's Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations
pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Agreement or this Exhibit with respect to such
Partnership taxable year, other than allocations pursuant to Section 1.A hereof.

                  C. Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner
unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in
Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), and, after giving effect to the allocations required
under Sections 1.A and 1.B hereof, such Partner has an Adjusted Capital

                                      CC-1
<PAGE>

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 taxable 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.

                  D. Gross Income Allocation. In the event that any Partner has
an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Partnership taxable year
(after taking into account allocations to be made under the preceding paragraphs
hereof with respect to such Partnership taxable 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 taxable year) in an amount and manner sufficient to
eliminate, to the extent required by Regulations, its Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit.

                  E. Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any
Partnership taxable year shall be allocated to the Partners 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
to the numerically closest ratio for such Partnership taxable year which would
satisfy such requirements.

                  F. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse
Deductions for any Partnership taxable 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 Section 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 Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts,
the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an
item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if
the adjustment decreases such basis) and such item of gain or loss shall be
specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in
which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such
Section of the Regulations.

                  H. Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section
1.A through 1.F of this Exhibit C (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to
comply with certain requirements of the Regulations under Section 704(b) of the
Code. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which
the Partners intend to divide Partnership distributions. Accordingly, the
General Partner is hereby authorized to divide other allocations of income,
gain, deduction and loss among the Partners so as to prevent the Regulatory
Allocations from distorting the manner in which Partnership distributions will
be divided among the Partners. In general, the Partners anticipate that, if
necessary, this will be accomplished by specially allocating other items of
income, gain, loss and deduction among the Partners so that the net amount of
the Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each person is zero.

                                      CC-2
<PAGE>

However, the General Partner will have discretion to accomplish this result in
any reasonable manner; provided, however, that no allocation pursuant to this
Section 1.G shall cause the Partnership to fail to comply with the requirements
of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), -2(e) or -2(i).

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 6.1 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:

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

                  (b) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to
         a Contributed Property shall be allocated among the Partners in the
         same manner as its correlative item of "book" gain or loss is allocated
         pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Agreement and Section 1 of this Exhibit
         C.

                  (2)(a) In the case of an Adjusted Property, such items shall
         first, be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with the
         principles of Section 704(c)of the Code and the Regulations thereunder
         to take into account the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss
         attributable to such property and the allocations thereof pursuant to
         Exhibit B; and

                  (b) 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) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to
         an Adjusted 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 6.1 of the Agreement and Section 1 of this Exhibit
         C.

                  C. To the extent that the Treasury Regulations promulgated
pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code permit the 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.

                            INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

                  This Indemnification Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of
this ___ day of _______, 2000 by and between Shelbourne Properties II, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company") and _____________________("Indemnitee").

                  WHEREAS, the Company desires to attract and retain the
services of highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve as
directors and/or executive officers of the Company; and

                  WHEREAS, the Company recognizes Indemnitee's need for
protection against personal liability, and in order to assure Indemnitee's
continued service to the Company, the Company wishes to provide in this
Agreement for the indemnification of and the advancing of expenses to
Indemnitee.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as
follows:

         1. Indemnification.

                  a. Third-Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee to the full extent permitted now or hereafter by applicable law, as
from time to time amended, subject to the exceptions provided in Section 8 of
this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing but subject to the provisions of
this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee is or was a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason
of Indemnitee's past, present or future service as a director or executive
officer of the Company, or, at the Company's request, of another enterprise or
entity in which the Company had, directly or indirectly, an interest at the time
of such service, against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the
Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with investigating, preparing
for, defending or settling such action or proceeding. The Company hereby agrees
to indemnify Indemnitee's spouse (whether by statute or at common law and
without regard to the location of the governing jurisdiction) and children
(including by way of adoption) as express third-party beneficiaries hereunder to
the same extent and subject to the same limitations applicable to Indemnitee
hereunder for claims arising out of the status of such person as a spouse or
child of Indemnitee, including claims seeking damages from marital property
(including community property) or property held by Indemnitee and such spouse or
property transferred to such spouse or child. The indemnification provided under
this Agreement may not be amended, modified or limited in a manner adverse to
the rights of Indemnitee without the consent of Indemnitee, and Indemnitee shall
be deemed to be serving in his capacity as an officer and/or director of the
Company in reliance on the terms of this Agreement.

<PAGE>

                  b. Proceedings By or in the Right of the Company. Subject to
the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if
Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding by or in the right of the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of Indemnitee's past, present or future service as a director or officer
of the Company, or, at the Company's request, of another enterprise or entity in
which the Company had, directly or indirectly, an interest at the time of such
service, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) and, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement, in each case to the extent
actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with investigating,
preparing for, defending or settling such action or proceeding.

         2. Expenses; Indemnification Procedure.

                  a. Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all
expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense,
settlement or appeal of any civil or criminal action or proceeding referenced in
Section 1(a) or (b) hereof (but not amounts actually paid in settlement of any
such action or proceeding). Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such amounts
advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined, in
accordance with Section 2(c), that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified
by the Company as authorized hereby. The advances to be made hereunder shall be
paid by the Company to Indemnitee within twenty (20) days following delivery of
a written request therefor by Indemnitee to the Company.

                  b. Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall, as a
condition precedent to his right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give
the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made against
Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this
Agreement. Such notice shall contain the written affirmation of Indemnitee that
the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification hereunder has been
satisfied. Notice to the Company shall be directed to the President of the
Company in the manner provided in Section 13 hereof. Indemnitee shall give the
Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as
shall be within Indemnitee's power. A delay in giving notice under this Section
2(b) shall invalidate the Indemnitee's right to indemnity under this Agreement
only to the extent that such delay prejudices the defense of the claim or the
availability to the Company of insurance coverage for such claim.

                  c. Procedure. Any indemnification provided for in Section 1
shall be made no later than forty-five (45) days after receipt of the written
request of Indemnitee. If a claim under this Agreement, under any statute, or
under any provision of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws,
providing for indemnification, is not paid in full by the Company within
forty-five (45) days after a written request for payment thereof that complies
with the requirements of this Agreement has first been received by the Company,
Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time thereafter bring an action against the
Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, subject to Section 12 of
this Agreement, Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid for the expenses
(including attorneys' fees) of bringing such action. It shall be a defense to
any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses
incurred in connection with any action or proceeding in advance of its final
disposition) that Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct that made it
permissible under applicable law

                                       2
<PAGE>

for the Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed, but Indemnitee
shall be entitled to receive interim payments of expenses pursuant to Subsection
2(a) unless and until such defense may be finally adjudicated by court order or
judgment from which no further right of appeal exists. It is the parties'
intention that if the Company contests Indemnitee's right to indemnification,
the question of Indemnitee's right to indemnification shall be for the court to
decide, and neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of
Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent
legal counsel or its equity holders) to have made a determination that
indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee
has met the applicable standard of conduct required by applicable law, nor an
actual determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors, any
committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or
its equity holders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of
conduct, shall create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the
applicable standard of conduct.

                  d. Notice to Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt of a
notice of a claim pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, the Company have directors'
and officers' liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt
notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with
the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall
thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay,
on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding
in accordance with the terms of such policies.

                  e. Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company shall be
obligated under Section 2(a) hereof to pay the expenses of any proceeding
against Indemnitee, the Company, unless Indemnitee determines that a conflict of
interest exists between the Indemnitee and the Company with respect to a
particular claim, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding,
with counsel approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election so
to do. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and
the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by
Indemnitee with respect to the same proceeding; provided that (i) Indemnitee
shall have the right to employ his own separate counsel in any such proceeding
in addition to or in place of any counsel retained by the Company on behalf of
Indemnitee at Indemnitee's expense, and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by
Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall
have concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and
Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the Company shall not, in
fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding, then the
fees and expenses of Indemnitee's counsel shall be at the expense of the
Company.

         3. Nonexclusivity of Indemnification Rights. The indemnification
provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which
Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws, any agreement, any vote of equity holders or disinterested Directors,
applicable law, or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee's official
capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

                                       3
<PAGE>

         4. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any
provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a
portion of the expenses, judgments, fines or penalties actually or reasonably
incurred by him in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any civil
or criminal action or proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount
thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of
such expenses, judgments, fines or penalties to which Indemnitee is entitled.

         5. Mutual Acknowledgment. Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge
that in certain instances, federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit
the Company from indemnifying its directors and officers under this Agreement or
otherwise. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company has
undertaken and may be required in the future to undertake with the Securities
and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in
certain circumstances for a determination of the Company' right under public
policy to indemnify Indemnitee.

         6. Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance. The Company currently
intends to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable
insurance companies providing the directors and officers of the Company with
coverage for losses from wrongful acts, or to ensure the Company's performance
of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, subject to its good
faith determination from time to time whether or not it is practicable for the
Company to obtain or maintain such insurance. Among other considerations, the
Company will weigh the costs of obtaining such insurance coverage against the
protection afforded by such coverage. In all policies of directors' and
officers' liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a
manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to
the most favorably insured of the Company's directors. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain such
insurance if the Company determines in good faith that such insurance is not
reasonably available, if the premium costs for such insurance are
disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, if the coverage provided by
such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient
benefit, or if Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance maintained by a
subsidiary or parent of the Company.

         7. Severability. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or
shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in
violation of applicable law. the Company' inability, pursuant to court order, to
perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of
this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable as provided
in this Section 7. If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall be invalidated
on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall
nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the full extent permitted by any applicable
portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated, and the balance
of this Agreement not so invalidated shall be enforceable in accordance with its
terms.

         8. Exceptions. Any other provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee in the following circumstances:

                  a. Excluded Acts. The Company shall not be obligated to
indemnify Indemnitee for any acts or omissions or transactions from which a
person serving in Indemnitee's capacity

                                       4
<PAGE>

with respect to the Company may not be relieved of liability under the
jurisdiction of the Company's organization;

                  b. Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. The Company shall not be
obligated to indemnify or advance expenses to Indemnitee with respect to
proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by
way of defense, except with respect to proceedings brought to establish or
enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other statute or
law in accordance with Section 1(b) hereof, but such indemnification or
advancement of expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the
Company's Board of Directors or general partner, as applicable, has approved the
initiation or bringing of such suit;

                  c. Insured Claims. The Company shall not be obligated to
indemnify Indemnitee for expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or
penalties and amounts paid in settlement) to the extent that Indemnitee has
otherwise actually received payment, or payments have been made on behalf of
Indemnitee, with respect to such expense or liability (under any insurance
policy or provision of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or
otherwise) of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder; or

                  d. Claims Under Section 16(b). The Company shall not be
obligated to indemnify Indemnitee for expenses and the payment of profits
arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of
Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar
successor statute.

         9. Construction of Certain Phrases.

                  a. For purposes of this Agreement, references to "the Company"
shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent

consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would
have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees, or
agents, so that if Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such
constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, Indemnitee
shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Agreement with
respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as Indemnitee would have with
respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

                  b. For purposes of this Agreement, references to "another
enterprise" or "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans;
references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with

Indemnitee under this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof,
Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all court costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Indemnitee with respect to such action,

that each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee as a basis for such
action were not made in good faith or were frivolous. In the event of an action

or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to
be paid all court costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
incurred by Indemnitee in defense of such action (including with respect to
Indemnitee's counterclaims and cross-claims made in such action), unless as a
part of such action the court determines that each of Indemnitee's material
defenses to such action were made in bad faith or were frivolous.
