         OP Units, the Percentage Interest attributable to the Participation
         Interest shall be adjusted so that it equals (a) the Percentage

         outstanding at the time and the total number of OP Units issued and
         outstanding at the time.

         The respective Percentage Interests of the Partners as of the date of
this Agreement are set forth in Schedule A attached to this Agreement.

                                 CAPITALIZATION

         3.1 INITIAL CAPITAL. As of the effective date hereof, the Partners
have made or will make contributions of cash and/or property to the
Partnership, and the amount of such cash contributions and the Gross Asset
Value of such in-kind Capital Contributions are reflected in the Capital
Account balance of each such Partner as set forth opposite such Partner's name
on the attached Schedule A, as amended from time to time, under the heading
"Agreed Capital Account".

         3.2 ISSUANCE AND REDEMPTION OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS.

         A. The interest of a Partner in the Partnership that has been received
in exchange for Capital Contributions is referred to as being evidenced by one
or more "Units." Units may be either "OP Units" or "Preference Units":

              (i) An "OP Unit" is a unit of Partnership Interest that has been
         received in exchange for Capital Contributions and that, as more
         particularly provided for below in Section 3.2(C), may be redeemed for
         the Redemption Amount. The General Partner may create separate classes
         or series of OP Units having privileges, variations, and designations
         as may be determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute
         discretion.

              (ii) A "Preference Unit" is a unit of Partnership Interest having
         such rights, preferences and other privileges, variations and
         designations as may be determined by the General Partner in its sole
         and absolute discretion (but not in violation of the provisions of
         Section 3.2(B) or the terms of any other Preference Unit(s) Term
         Sheets). There may be more than one series or class of Preference
         Units having differing terms and conditions, but all Preference Units
         within a given series or class shall have the same rights, preferences
         and other privileges, variations and designations. With respect to
         each series or class of Preference Units, the General Partner may
         also, in its discretion, determine and fix, among other terms and
         conditions, any of the following: (a) the series to which such
         Preference Units shall belong, (b) the distribution rate therefor, (c)
         the price at and the terms and conditions on which such Preference
         Units may be redeemed, (d) the amount payable in respect of such
         Preference Units in the event of involuntary or voluntary liquidation,
         (e) the terms and conditions on which such Preference Units may be
         converted and the securities into which such Preference Units may be
         converted (and/or the valuation of such Preference Units as measured
         in OP Units), if such Preference Units are issued with the privilege
         of conversion, and (f) the number of such Preference Units to be
         issued as a part of such series. Once determined and fixed as herein
         provided, however, the terms and conditions of a particular series or
         class of Preference Units may not be changed without the written
         consent of the holders of at least 67% of the Preference Units within
         the

                                      12

<PAGE>

         class or series (or such greater percentage as may be provided
         for in any the applicable Preference Unit Term Sheet).

The aggregate total of all Units outstanding as of the date of this Agreement
is 21,958.69, all of which consist of OP Units. As of the date of this
Agreement, each Partner is deemed to hold Units as shown on Schedule A.

         Effective as of the date hereof, the Partnership is issuing to HALP a
limited partnership interest denominated as a "Participation Interest." The
Participation Interest is in addition to, and distinct from, the Units
described above and any references to "Units" or OP Units shall not be deemed
to include the Participation Interest. It is intended that the Participation
Interest constitute a profits interest within the meaning of Section 2.02 of
IRS Revenue Procedure 93-27, 1993-2 C.B. 343.

              B. From time to time hereafter, subject to and in accordance with
         the provisions of this Section 3.2(B), the General Partner shall cause
         the Partnership to issue additional Units as follows:

                 (i) OP Units to the Company upon the issuance by the Company
              of additional Common Shares (other than in exchange for OP Units)
              and the contribution of the net proceeds thereof as a Capital
              Contribution to the Partnership as provided for in Section 3.3(B)
              below, it being understood, however, that the Company may issue
              Common Shares in connection with share option plans, dividend
              reinvestment plans, restricted share plans or other benefit or
              compensation plans without receiving any proceeds and that the
              issuance of such Common Shares shall nonetheless entitle the
              Company to receive additional OP Units pursuant to this clause
              (i);

                 (ii) OP Units to Partners (including the General Partner) that
              hold Preference Units that are convertible into OP Units, upon
              the exercise of such conversion in accordance with the terms and
              conditions of the Preference Unit Term Sheet applicable thereto;

                 (iii) OP Units to Partners holding OP Units (including the
              General Partner) if and to the extent of each such Partner's
              participation in any reinvestment program contemplated by Section
              3.3(C) below;

                 (iv) Preference Units to the Company upon the issuance by the
              Company of securities other than Common Shares whether debt or
              equity securities ("Other Securities") and the contribution of
              the net proceeds thereof as a Capital Contribution to the
              Partnership as provided for in Section 3.3(B) below; and

                 (v) in all other cases, OP Units and/or Preference Units, as
              determined by the General Partner, in its discretion, to existing
              or newly-admitted Partners (including the General Partner), in
              exchange for the contribution by a Partner (the "Contributing
              Partner") of Capital Contributions to the Partnership.

                                      13

<PAGE>

         Issuance of OP Units as aforesaid shall be in accordance with the
following:

         (a) the number of OP Units issued to the Company under clause (i) of
this Section 3.2(B) shall be equal to the number of Common Shares issued;

         (b) the number of OP Units issued to a Partner under clause (ii) of
this Section 3.2(B) shall be as provided for in the Preference Unit Term Sheet
pursuant to which the Preference Units being converted exist;

         (c) the number of OP Units issued to a Limited Partner under clause
(iii) of this Section 3.2(B) shall be as provided for in the applicable
reinvestment program; and

         (d) the number of OP Units issued to a Contributing Partner under
clause (v) of this Section 3.2(B) shall be equal to the quotient (rounded to
the nearest whole number) arrived at by dividing (x) the initial Gross Asset
Value of the property contributed as additional Capital Contributions (net of
any debt to which such property is subject or assumed by the Partnership in
connection with such contribution) by (y) the Net Asset Value attributable to
each OP Unit.

         Issuance of Preference Units as aforesaid shall be in accordance with
the following:

         (1) Preference Units issued pursuant to clause (v) of this Section
3.2(B) shall have the terms and conditions specified in an agreement (a
"Preference Unit Term Sheet") executed by and between the Partnership (at the
direction or in the discretion of the General Partner) and the Contributing
Partner. The number of Preference Units issued to a Contributing Partner under
clause (v) of this Section 3.2(B) shall be equal to the quotient (rounded to
the nearest whole number) arrived at by dividing (x) the net fair market value
of any property or assets contributed as additional capital contributions by
(y) price per Preference Unit provided for in the Preference Unit Term Sheet;
and

         (2) Preference Units issued pursuant to clause (iv) of this Section
3.2(B) shall have economic terms substantially identical to those of the
applicable Other Securities.

Units may also be issued to some or all of the Partners holding Preference
Units if and to the extent of such Partner's participation in any reinvestment
program contemplated by Section 3.3(C). Upon the issuance of additional OP
Units and/or Preference Units in accordance with the provisions of this Section
3.2(B), each recipient of such Units shall either execute this Agreement or a
joinder to this Agreement (which joinder, as to Preference Units, may be a part
of any applicable Preference Unit Term Sheet) and, as applicable, the
Percentage Interest of all of the Partners shall thereupon be appropriately
adjusted by the General Partner.

              C. Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.2(D) and (F), on or
         after the later of (i) the date which is one year after the Issuance
         Date or (ii) upon the completion of an initial public offering of the
         Common Shares of the Company pursuant to a registration statement
         filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, each Limited

                                      14

Partner shall have the right (the "Redemption Right") to require the
Partnership to redeem on a Specified Redemption Date all or a portion of the OP
Units or Participation Interest held by such Limited Partner at a redemption
price equal to and in the form of the Redemption Amount. The Redemption Right
shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the
Partnership (with a copy to the General Partner) by the Limited 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 or Participation Interest subject
to the Notice of Redemption pursuant to Section 3.2(E). Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2(C), the Company agrees to use its best
efforts to cause the closing of the acquisition of redeemed Partnership
Interests hereunder to occur as quickly as reasonably possible. The Redeeming
Partner shall have no right, with respect to any OP Units or Participation
Interest so redeemed, to receive any distribution paid with respect to such OP
Units or Participation Interest if the Record Date for such distribution is on
or after the Specified Redemption Date. If, and beginning with the first day of
the first taxable year in which, the Partnership no longer qualifies for the
Private Placement PTP Exemption, the Redemption Right shall comply with the
requirements of Regulations Section 1.7704-1(f) and shall be construed and
administered in accordance therewith.

              D. In addition to other restrictions set forth on the Redemption
         Rights in any other provision of this Agreement, the following
         restrictions apply to Redemption Rights:

                 (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 3, but
              subject to the last sentence of clause (iii) below, a Limited
              Partner shall be entitled to exercise the Redemption Right only
              if (x) the redemption or purchase of the Limited Partner's OP
              Units or Participation Interest would constitute a Private
              Transfer or (y) the Percentage Interest attributable to the OP
              Units or Participation Interest to be purchased or redeemed, when
              aggregated with other Transfers of Partnership Interests within
              the same taxable year of the Partnership (but not including
              Private Transfers), would constitute a Percentage Interest of ten
              percent (10%) or less.

                 (ii) The General Partner may establish such policies and
              procedures as it may deem necessary or desirable in its
              discretion to administer the 10% Percentage Interest limit set
              forth in subparagraph (i) above, including without limitation
              imposing further limitations on the OP Units or Participation
              Interest with respect to which the Redemption Right may be
              exercised during any period of time shorter than a calendar year
              and establishing procedures to allocate the ability to exercise
              the Redemption Right among the Limited Partners.

                 (iii) The restrictions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above
              shall continue in effect until such time as the Partnership is no
              longer potentially subject to classification as a publicly traded
              partnership, as defined in Code Section 7704, in the absence of
              such restrictions, as determined by the General Partner in its
              discretion. The restrictions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii)
              above,

                                      15

<PAGE>

              together with the restrictions on the Transfer of Partnership
              Interests set forth in Section 12(B), are intended to limit
              transfers of interests in the Partnership in such a manner as to
              permit the Partnership to qualify for the safe harbors from
              treatment as a publicly traded partnership set forth in
              Regulations Sections 1.7704-1(d), (e), (f) and (j) and shall be
              construed and administered in accordance therewith. The General
              Partner may modify the restrictions set forth in clauses (i) and
              (ii) above, and the provisions of Section 12(B), from time to
              time in its discretion to ensure that the Partnership complies
              and continues to comply with the Code and Regulations
              requirements described above. Notwithstanding anything herein to
              the contrary, the provisions of subparagraphs (i)-(iii) shall
              only apply if, and beginning with the first day of the first
              taxable year in which, the Partnership no longer qualifies for
              the Private Placement PTP Exemption.

                 (iv) A Limited Partner shall not be entitled to exercise
              either a Redemption Right or any right to convert a Preference
              Unit into an OP Unit if such exercise would (a) result in the
              total Common Shares and any other ownership or beneficial
              interests in the Company being owned by fewer than one hundred
              persons within the meaning of Code Section 856(a)(5); (b) result
              in such Limited Partner or any other person owning, directly or
              constructively under Code Section 856(d)(5), in excess of 9.9% of
              the total Common Shares (and any other ownership or beneficial
              interests) in the Company; (c) cause more than 50% of the value
              of the Company's Common Shares (and any other ownership or
              beneficial interests) to be held by five or fewer individuals and
              certain organizations under Code Section 856(h) and 542(a)(2);
              (d) cause the Company to own, directly or constructively, 10% or
              more of the ownership interests of any person that is a tenant
              with respect to any real property owned or constructively owned
              by the Company (so as to prevent the application of Code Section
              856(d)(2)); or (e) cause the acquisition of Common Shares (and
              any other ownership or beneficial interests) in the Company by
              such Limited Partner to be "integrated" with any other
              distribution of interests in the Company for purposes of
              complying with the registration provisions of the Securities Act
              of 1933. The General Partner may modify the restrictions set
              forth in this Section 3.2(D)(iv) from time to time in its
              discretion to ensure that the Partnership complies and continues
              to comply with Code Section 856. The General Partner may, in its
              sole discretion, waive the restrictions on redemption set forth
              in this Section 3.2(D)(iv); provided, however, that in the event
              a restriction is waived, the redeeming partner shall be paid the
              Cash Amount.

                 (v) A Limited Partner shall not be entitled to exercise a
              Redemption Right if it prejudices or affects the continuity of
              the Partnership for purposes of Code Section 708. Prior to any
              such redemption described in the preceding sentence, the General
              Partner may require an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
              General Partner to the effect that such redemption will not cause
              adverse tax consequences to the nonredeeming Partners, and such
              Limited Partner exercising the Redemption Right shall be
              responsible for paying said counsel's fee for his opinion.

                                      16

<PAGE>

              Provided, however, that the General Partner may exempt a
              Limited Partner from the foregoing restrictions to the same
              extent, and under the same circumstances, that the General
              Partner may waive similar restrictions pursuant to its Articles
              of Incorporation.

              E. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.2(C), a Limited
         Partner that exercises the Redemption Right shall be deemed to have
         offered to sell the OP Units or Participation Interest described in
         the Notice of Redemption to the Company, and the Company (or any
         designee thereof) may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to
         purchase directly and acquire such OP Units or Participation Interest
         by paying to the Redeeming Partner either the Cash Amount or the REIT
         Shares Amount, as elected by the Company or any designee thereof (each
         in its sole and absolute discretion), on the Specified Redemption
         Date, whereupon the Company or any designee thereof shall acquire the
         OP Units or Participation Interest offered for redemption by the
         Redeeming Partner and shall be treated for all purposes of this
         Agreement as the owner of such OP Units or Participation Interest. If
         the Company or any designee thereof shall elect to exercise its right
         to purchase OP Units or a Participation Interest under this Section
         3.2(E) with respect to a Notice of Redemption, it shall so notify the
         Redeeming Partner within five Business Days after the receipt by the
         General Partner of such Notice of Redemption. Unless the Company or
         any designee thereof (each in its sole and absolute discretion) shall
         exercise its right to purchase OP Units or a Participation Interest
         from the Redeeming Partner pursuant to this Section 3.2(E), neither
         the Company nor any designee thereof shall have any obligation to the
         Redeeming Partner or the Partnership with respect to such Redeeming
         Partner's exercise of such Redemption Right. In the event that the
         Company or any designee thereof shall exercise its right to purchase
         OP Units or a Participation Interest with respect to the exercise of a
         Redemption Right in the manner described in the first sentence of this
         Section 3.2(E), 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 or any designee thereof, as
         the case may be, shall treat the transaction between the Company or
         any designee thereof, as the case may be, and the Redeeming Partner
         for federal income tax purposes as a sale of the Redeeming Partner's
         OP Units or Participation Interest to the Company or any designee
         thereof. Each Redeeming Partner agrees to execute such documents as
         the General Partner may reasonably require in connection with the
         issuance of Common Shares upon exercise of the Redemption Right. Any
         OP Units or Participation Interest acquired by the General Partner
         pursuant to such Redemption Right shall, upon and after such
         acquisition, be treated as a general partner interest.

              F. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out
         of its authorized but unissued Common Shares, solely for the purpose
         of effecting the exchange of OP Units and the Participation Interest
         for Common Shares, such number of Common Shares as shall from time to
         time be sufficient to effect the redemption of the Participation
         Interest and all outstanding OP Units not owned by the Company, and
         any Preference Units not owned by the Company that are convertible
         into OP Units (whether or not the conversion can then be effected). No
         Limited Partner shall, by virtue of being the holder of the
         Participation Interest or one or more OP Units and/or Preference Units
         be deemed to be a shareholder of or have any other interest in the
         Company. In the event

                                      17

<PAGE>

         of any change in the outstanding Common Shares of the Company or
         its successor by reason of any share dividend, split,
         recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of
         shares or other similar corporate change other than the issuance of
         Rights, as further described in Section 3.2(G) (a "Recapitalization"),
         the number of OP Units held by each Partner shall be adjusted upward
         or downward to equal such number of Common Shares of the Company (or
         as applicable, the Common Shares or equivalent class of securities of
         the successor thereto) as would have been held by the Partner
         immediately following the Recapitalization if such Partner had held a
         number of Common Shares equal to such number of OP Units immediately
         prior to such Recapitalization. In the event the Company or any
         designee thereof acquires OP Units or a Participation Interest
         pursuant to such Section 3.2(E), the General Partner shall record the
         transfer on the books of the Partnership so that the Company or any
         designee thereof, as applicable, is thereupon the owner and holder of
         such OP Units or Participation Interest. As is more particularly
         described in Section 3.2(D)(iv), notwithstanding any other provisions
         of this Section 3.2, a Limited Partner shall not have the right to
         exercise a Redemption Right if, upon payment of the REIT Shares Amount
         to such Limited Partner, (i) the Company would, as a result thereof,
         no longer qualify (or it would be reasonably possible in the judgement
         of the General Partner that the Company no longer would qualify) as a
         real estate investment trust under the Code; or (ii) the payment of
         such REIT Shares Amount to the Limited Partner would constitute or be
         reasonably possible in the judgment of the General Partner to
         constitute a violation of applicable federal or state securities laws
         or would violate any applicable provisions of the organizational
         documents of the Company (including without limitation any
         restrictions on ownership of securities of the Company set forth in
         the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company). In either
         such event, to the extent the consequences described in (i) or (ii)
         could be eliminated by reasonable action of the General Partner or the
         Company without any material detriment to the General Partner or the
         Company and at the expense of such Limited Partner(s) requesting such
         exchange, the Company or the General Partner shall take all such
         reasonable action to effect the exchange of OP Units or a
         Participation Interest for Common Shares by such Limited Partner(s) as
         herein provided.

              G. In the event that a Redeeming Partner exercises the Redemption
         Right, and the Company or any designee thereof elects to make the
         payment of the REIT Shares Amount to the Redeeming Partner referenced
         in accordance with the first sentence of Section 3.2(E), and in the
         event that the Company issues to all of its holders of Common Shares
         as of a certain record date rights, options, warrants or convertible
         or exchangeable securities entitling such shareholders to subscribe
         for or purchase Common Shares or any other securities or property
         (collectively, "Rights"), with the record date for such Rights
         issuance falling within the period starting on the date that the
         Company receives the Redemption Notice from the Redeeming Partner and
         ending on the day immediately preceding the date upon which the
         Company or its designee delivers the Common Shares to the Redeeming
         Partner in exchange for such Redeeming Partner's OP Units (the date
         upon which such exchange occurs being referred to herein as the
         "Exchange Date"), which Rights will not be distributed before the
         Exchange Date, then the amount payable by the Company or its designee
         to the Redeeming Partner in exchange for its OP Units or Participation
         Interest under this Section 3.2 shall also include such Rights that
         the Redeeming Partner would have received if it had been the

                                      18

<PAGE>

         owner of the Common Shares to be delivered by the Company to the
         Redeeming Partner prior to the record date for the issuance of the
         Rights (as the same may be expressed for any purpose hereunder in a
         number of OP Units or Common Shares as determined by the General
         Partner).

         3.3 ADDITIONAL FUNDS.

              A. No Partner shall be assessed or, except as otherwise provided
         in this Agreement, be required to contribute additional funds or other
         property to the Partnership. Any additional funds or other property
         required by the Partnership, as determined by the General Partner in
         its sole discretion, may, at the option of the General Partner and
         without an obligation to do so (except as provided for in Section
         3.3(B) below), be contributed by the General Partner or any other
         Partner (provided such other Partner is willing to do so and the
         General Partner consents thereto, each in its sole and absolute
         discretion) as additional Capital Contributions. If and as the General
         Partner or any other Partner makes additional Capital Contributions to
         the Partnership, each such Partner shall receive additional OP Units
         and/or Preference Units as provided for in Section 3.2(B) above. The
         General Partner shall also have the right (but not the obligation) to
         raise any additional funds required for the Partnership in accordance
         with the provisions of Section 9.7(E) below and/or by causing the
         Partnership to borrow the necessary funds from third parties on such
         terms and conditions as the General Partner shall deem appropriate in
         its sole discretion. If the General Partner elects to cause the
         Partnership to borrow the additional funds, or if the Partnership
         issues a guaranty, indemnity or similar undertaking in connection with
         the indebtedness of the Company as aforesaid, in any such case one or
         more of the Partnership's assets may be encumbered to secure the loan
         or undertaking. Except as provided for in Section 3.3(C) below, no
         Limited Partner shall have the right to make additional Capital
         Contributions to the Partnership without the prior written consent of
         the General Partner.

              B. Except for (i) the capitalization of any wholly-owned entity
         of the General Partner which is the general partner of a partnership
         having the Partnership as a limited partner, (ii) the net proceeds
         generated by the issuance of Other Securities that evidence debt (and
         are not equity securities) that are loaned by the Company to the
         Partnership, and (iii) where the Company determines that the net
         proceeds generated by the issuance of Common Shares or Other
         Securities (whether for debt or equity) are to be retained by the
         Company for a valid business reason consistent with the purposes of
         the Partnership and such retention does not materially adversely
         affect the Limited Partners, the net proceeds of any and all funds
         raised by or through the Company through the issuance of Common Shares
         or Other Securities shall be contributed to the Partnership as
         additional Capital Contributions, and in such event the Company shall
         be issued additional Units pursuant to Section 3.2(B) above.

              C. If the General Partner creates and administers a reinvestment
         program in substantial conformance with a dividend reinvestment
         program which may be available from time to time to holders of the
         Common Shares, each Limited Partner holding OP Units shall have the
         right to reinvest any or all cash distributions payable to it from
         time to time pursuant to this Agreement (subject to the restrictions
         described in

                                      19

<PAGE>

         Article 12), by having some or all (as the Limited Partner
         elects) of such distributions contributed to the Partnership as
         additional Capital Contributions, and in such event the Partnership
         shall issue to each such Limited Partner additional OP Units pursuant
         to Section 3.2(B)(iii) above, or the General Partner, in its sole
         discretion, may elect to cause distributions with respect to which a
         Limited Partner has elected reinvestment to be contributed to the
         Company in exchange for the issuance of Common Shares. At the option
         of the General Partner, such a program may also be made available with
         respect to Preference Units.

         3.4 CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. A separate capital account ("Capital Account")
shall be maintained for each Partner.

              A. To each Partner's Capital Account there shall be added the
         amount of cash and the Gross Asset Value of any property contributed
         by such Partner to the Partnership pursuant to any provision of this
         Agreement, such Partner's distributive share of Profits and any items
         in the nature of income or gain which are specially allocated pursuant
         to Section 7.3, Section 7.4 or Section 14.2(C) hereof, and the amount
         of any Partnership liabilities assumed by such Partner or which are
         secured by any Partnership property distributed to such Partner.

              B. From each Partner's Capital Account there shall be subtracted
         the amount of cash and the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership
         property distributed to such Partner pursuant to any provision of this
         Agreement, such Partner's distributive share of losses and any items
         in the nature of expenses or losses which are specially allocated
         pursuant to Section 7.3, Section 7.4 or Section 14.2(C) hereof, and
         the amount of any liabilities of such Partner assumed by the
         Partnership or which are secured by any property contributed by such
         Partner to the Partnership.

              C. In the event all or a portion of a Partnership Interest is
         transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including
         a transfer of OP Units or a Participation Interest in exchange for
         Common Shares, pursuant to Section 3.2(E)), the transferee shall
         succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it
         relates to the transferred Partnership Interest.

              D. In determining the amount of any liability for purposes of
         Sections 3.4(A) and 3.4(B) above, there shall be taken into account
         Code Section 752(c) and any other applicable provisions of the Code
         and Regulations.

              E. This Section 3.4 and the other provisions of 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 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, or the Partners) are computed
         in order to comply with such Regulations, the General Partner may make
         such modification, provided that it is not likely to have a material
         effect on the amounts

                                      20

<PAGE>

         distributed to any Partner pursuant to Section 14.2 upon the
         liquidation 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)(g), 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).

         3.5 INTEREST ON AND RETURN OF CAPITAL.

              A. No Partner shall be entitled to any interest on its Capital
         Account or on its Capital Contributions to the Partnership.

              B. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, no Partner
         shall have the right to demand or to receive the return of all or any
         part of its Capital Contributions to the Partnership and there shall
         be no priority of one Partner over another Partner as to the return of
         capital contributions or withdrawals or distributions of profits and
         losses. No Partner shall have the right to demand or receive property
         other than cash in return for the contributions of such Partner to the
         Partnership.

         3.6 NEGATIVE CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. Upon the liquidation of the Partnership
or the liquidation of the Participation Interest, the holder of the
Participation Interest shall be required to pay to the Partnership any deficit
or negative balance which may exist in its Capital Account at such time
(determined after taking into account the allocations described in Article 7 or
Section 14.2(C) for the year in which such liquidation or redemption occurs).
Subject to the provisions of any guarantee or other written agreement between a
Partner and the Partnership, or except as provided in the preceding sentence,
no Partner shall otherwise be required to pay to the Partnership any deficit or
negative balance which may exist in its Capital Account.

         3.7 LIMIT ON CONTRIBUTIONS AND OBLIGATIONS OF PARTNERS. Except as
provided in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 (or the provisions of any guarantee or
other written agreement between a Partner and the Partnership), no Partner
shall be required to make any additional advances or contributions to or on
behalf of the Partnership or guarantee any obligations of the Partnership.

         3.8 REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE OF UNITS. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement which may be contrary to this Section 3.8, in the
event of the proposed repurchase or redemption for cash by the Company of (i)
Common Shares or (ii) Other Securities with respect to which the Partnership
had previously issued Preference Units pursuant to Section 3.2(B)(iv) of this
Agreement, then, in such event, the Partnership shall provide cash to the
Company concurrently with such repurchase or redemption or for such purpose
equal to the proposed repurchase or redemption price, and one OP Unit owned by
the General Partner (or, in the case of redemption or repurchase by the Company
of Other Securities contemplated by clause (ii) above, one Preference Unit
owned by the General Partner which had been issued with respect to such Other
Securities) shall be canceled with respect to each Common Share (or share of
Other Securities) so repurchased or redeemed.

         The address of the registered office of the Partnership in the State
of Delaware is located at 1209 Orange Street, City of Wilmington, County of New

                                   ARTICLE V
                       PURPOSES AND POWERS OF PARTNERSHIP

         5.1 PURPOSES OF THE PARTNERSHIP. The objects and purposes of the
Partnership are to engage in any lawful business activities in which a
partnership formed under the Act may engage or participate, with its primary
objects and purposes being, either as a partner in a partnership or joint
venture or otherwise, to purchase, own, maintain, mortgage, encumber,
construct, develop, equip, manage, lease, finance, operate, dispose of or
otherwise deal with real property, interests in real property or mortgages
secured by real property.

         5.2 POWERS. The Partnership purposes may be accomplished by taking any
action which is not prohibited under the Act.

         5.3 REIT REQUIREMENTS. Each Limited Partner understands and
acknowledges that the General Partner intends to elect to be treated as a real
estate investment trust ("REIT") under Code Section 856. Each Limited Partner
further understands and acknowledges that in order to maintain its status as a
REIT, the General Partner must comply with numerous and complex rules and
regulations set forth in the Code and the Regulations, many of which are
applied on a quarterly and/or annual basis (the "REIT Requirements"), and that
the management and operation of the Partnership will have a material effect on
the ability of the General Partner to continue to maintain its status as a
REIT. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any
non-mandatory provision of the Act, the Partnership shall not take any action
which (or fail to take any action, the omission of which) (i) could adversely
affect the ability of the General Partner to qualify or continue to qualify as
a

                                      22

<PAGE>

REIT, (ii) could subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Code
Section 857 or Code Section 4981 or other potentially adverse consequences
under the Code, or (iii) otherwise could cause the General Partner to violate
the REIT Requirements, specifically including, but not limited to, restrictions
on Redemption Rights in Section 3.2(D)(iv). In addition, notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement or any non-mandatory provision of 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 General Partner's business judgement that such action or
omission is necessary or advisable in order (i) to protect the ability of the
General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or (ii) to avoid the General
Partner incurring any taxes under Code Section 857 or Code Section 4981, is
expressly authorized under this Agreement and is approved by all of the Limited
Partners.

                                  ARTICLE VI
                                      TERM

         The term of the Partnership shall continue until the Partnership is
terminated upon the occurrence of an event described in Section 14.1 below.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                                  ALLOCATIONS

         7.1 PROFITS. A. After giving effect to the special allocations set
forth in Sections 7.3, 7.4, and 14.2(C), Profits for any fiscal year other than
Capital Transactions Gains shall be allocated as follows:

                 (i) first, gross profits shall be allocated to the holder of
              the Participation Interest, until the cumulative amount of
              Profits allocated to such holder pursuant to this Section 7.1(A)
              with respect to its Participation Interest equals the cumulative
              amount of distributions, other than distributions of proceeds
              from transactions resulting in Capital Transaction Gains or
              Losses, made to such holder pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof with
              respect to its Participation Interest; and

                 (ii) thereafter, remaining Profits shall be allocated among
              the Partners in proportion to the number of OP Units held by each
              such Partner.

              B. After giving effect to the allocations set forth in Sections
         7.3, 7.4 and 14.2(C), Capital Transaction Gains shall be computed
         separately with respect to each property and shall be allocated among
         the Partners as follows:

                 (i) first, among the Partners in proportion to, and to the
              extent of, any deficit balance in each such Partner's Capital
              Account;

                 (ii) second, to the holder of the Participation Interest in
              the minimum amount needed so as to cause its Capital Account
              balance to equal the product of the Percentage Interest
              attributable to the Participation Interest and the aggregate

                                      23

<PAGE>

              Capital Account balances of all the Partners (after giving
              effect to the allocation in this clause (ii)); and

                 (iii) thereafter, among the Partners in proportion to their
              respective Percentage Interests.

              C. In the event that the Partnership issues additional Units to
         the General Partner or any Limited Partner pursuant to Section 3.2
         hereof, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Section
         7.1 as it determines are necessary to reflect the terms of the
         issuance of such additional Units, including such revisions as are
         needed to ensure that such allocations (i) will comply with the terms
         of Regulations Sections 1.704-1 and -2 and Code Section 514(c)(9)(E),
         (ii) will properly reflect the varying interests of the Partners in
         the Partnership, and (iii) will cause the Capital Accounts of the
         Partners held by them to be in the ratios in which the Partners are
         entitled to receive distributions with respect to their Partnership
         Interests pursuant to Article 8 hereof.

         7.2 LOSSES.

              A. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in
         Sections 7.3, 7.4, and 14.2(C), all Losses (including Capital
         Transaction Losses, which shall be computed and allocated separately
         with respect to each property) shall be allocated among the Partners
         as follows:

                 (i) first, among the Partners in proportion to the number of
              OP Units held by each such Partner, until the aggregate Capital
              Account balances of the Partners holding OP Units is reduced to
              an amount equal to the product of (a) 100% minus the Percentage
              Interest attributable to the Participation Interest and (b) the
              aggregate Capital Account balances of all the Partners (after
              giving effect to the allocation in this clause (i));

                 (ii) second, among the Partners in proportion to their
              respective positive Capital Account balances; and

                 (iii) thereafter, among the Partners in proportion to the
              number of OP Units held by each such Partner.

              B. The Losses allocated pursuant to Section 7.2(A) above shall
         not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be so allocated
         without causing any Limited Partner to have an Adjusted Capital
         Account Deficit at the end of any fiscal year. All Losses in excess of
         the limitations set forth in this Section 7.2(B) shall be allocated
         among the other Partners in proportion to the number of OP Units held
         by each such other Partner.

              C. In the event that the Partnership issues additional Units to
         the General Partner or any Limited Partner pursuant to Section 3.2
         hereof, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Section
         7.2 as it determines are necessary to reflect the terms of the
         issuance of such additional Units, including such revisions as are

                                      24

<PAGE>

         needed to ensure that such allocations (i) will comply with the
         terms of Regulations Sections 1.704-1 and -2 and Code Section
         514(c)(9)(E), (ii) will properly reflect the varying interests of the
         Partners in the Partnership, and (iii) will cause the Capital Accounts
         of the Partners to be in the ratios in which the Partners are entitled
         to receive distributions with respect to their Partnership Interests
         pursuant to Article 8 hereof.

         7.3 SPECIAL ALLOCATIONS. The following special allocations shall be
made in the following order:

              A. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section
         1.704-2(f), and notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 7,
         if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any
         fiscal year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of
         Partnership income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary,
         subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to such Partner's share of
         the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance
         with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). The items to be so allocated
         shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections
         1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 7.3(A) is intended to
         comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations
         Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

              B. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section
         1.704-2(i)(4), and notwithstanding any other provision of this Article
         7, if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain
         attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership
         fiscal year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse
         Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt,
         determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall
         be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such
         fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount
         equal to such Partner's share of the net decrease in Partner
         Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse
         Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4).
         The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with
         Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(i)(2). This Section
         7.3(B) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback
         requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be
         interpreted consistently therewith.

              C. 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), items of Partnership income and gain shall be
         specially allocated to each such Partner in an amount and manner
         sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations,
         the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Partner as quickly as
         possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 7.3(C)
         shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have
         an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations
         provided for in this Article 7 have been tentatively made, as if this
         Section 7.3(C) were not in this Agreement.

              D. In the event any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the
         end of any Partnership fiscal year which is in excess of the sum of
         (i) the amount such Partner is

                                      25

<PAGE>

         obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement,
         and (ii) the amount such Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore
         pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections
         1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Partner shall be specially
         allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such
         excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to
         this Section 7.3(D) shall be made only if and to the extent that such
         Partner would have a deficit Capital Account after all other
         allocations provided for in this Article 7 have been made as if
         Section 7.3(C) hereof and this Section 7.3(D) were not in the
         Agreement.

              E. If and to the extent Partners holding Preference Units receive
         preferred distributions from the Partnership (other than distributions
         pursuant to Section 14.2(C) in final liquidation of the Partnership),
         each such Partner shall be allocated Partnership gross income in an
         amount equal to the amount of preferred distributions received with
         respect to such Preference Units, prior to any allocations of Profit
         and Loss pursuant to Sections 7.1 and 7.2 above. For purposes of this
         Section 7.3(E), any payment with respect to a Preference Unit that,
         under the applicable Preference Unit Term Sheet, constitutes a payment
         in redemption of such Preference Unit (and a return of the Partner's
         Capital Contribution with respect to such Preference Unit) shall not
         result in a special allocation of gross income to the Partner
         receiving such payments under this Section 7.3(E), except to the
         extent such payment is specifically attributable to accrued and unpaid
         preferred distributions with respect to such Preference Unit provided
         for in such Preference Unit Term Sheet.

              F. Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year shall be allocated
         among the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage
         Interests.

              G. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year shall
         be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of
         loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such
         Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in accordance with
         Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

              H. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any
         Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) is required,
         pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken
         into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a
         distribution to a Partner in complete liquidation of its interest in
         the Partnership, the amount of such adjustment to Capital Accounts
         shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the
         basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis)
         and such gain or loss shall be specifically allocated to the Partner
         to whom such distribution was made.

7.4 CURATIVE ALLOCATIONS. The allocations set forth in Sections 7.2(C), 7.3(A),
7.3(B), 7.3(C), 7.3(D), 7.3(F), 7.3(G), and 7.3(H) above (the "Regulatory
Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of the
Regulations under Code Section 704(b). It is the intent of the Partners that,
to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with
other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of
Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section 7.4.
Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 7 (other than
the Regulatory Allocations), the

                                      26

<PAGE>

General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership
income, gain, loss, or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate
so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner's Capital
Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account
balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part
of the Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to Section
7.1(A)(ii) and 7.2(A) (subject, however, to Section 7.3(E) above). In
exercising its discretion under this Section 7.4, the General Partner shall
take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 7.3(A) and 7.3(B)
that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations
previously made under Sections 7.3(F) and 7.3(G).

         7.5 TAX ALLOCATIONS: CODE SECTION 704(C).

              A. Income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property
         contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax
         purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any
         variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the
         Partnership for Federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross
         Asset Value in accordance with any permissible method or methods under
         Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, as determined in
         the sole discretion of the General Partner.

              B. In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is
         adjusted pursuant to the definition of "Gross Asset Value" contained
         in Article 2 above, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and
         deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any
         variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for Federal income
         tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner or manners
         permitted under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.

              C. The portion of any gain recognized by the Partnership on the
         disposition of property which is classified as ordinary income under
         Sections 751, 1245 or 1250 of the Code, or which is classified as
         "unrecaptured section 1250 gain" under Section 1(h)(7) of the Code,
         shall be allocated among the Partners in the ratio in which the
         deductions giving rise to such ordinary income or unrecaptured section
         1250 gain were allocated; provided, however, that the amount of
         ordinary income or unrecaptured section 1250 gain so allocated shall
         not exceed the gain from such sale or disposition that is so allocable
         to the Partner.

              D. Any elections or other decisions relating to the allocations
         provided under this Section 7.5 shall be made by the General Partner
         using any permissible manner under the Code or the Regulations that
         the General Partner may elect in its sole discretion. Allocations
         pursuant to this Section 7.5 are solely for purposes of Federal,
         state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken
         into account in computing, any Partner's Capital Account or share of
         Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any
         provision in this Agreement.

                        CASH AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION

         8.1 DEFINITION OF AVAILABLE CASH. As used in this Agreement,
"Available Cash" shall mean and be defined as all cash receipts of the
Partnership from whatever source during the period in question in excess of all
items of Partnership expense (other than non-cash expenses such as
depreciation) and other cash needs of the Partnership, including, without
limitation, investments by the Partnership, amounts paid by the Partnership as
principal on debts and advances during such period, capital expenditures,
payments to any dealer manager, advisor or property manager under any dealer
manager, advisory and/or property management agreement, other fees and expense
reimbursements, funds used for redemptions, and any reserves (as determined by
the General Partner) established or increased during such period. In the
discretion of the General Partner, but subject to Section 5.3, reserves may
include cash held for future acquisitions.

         8.2 TIMING AND PRIORITY OF DISTRIBUTIONS OF AVAILABLE CASH. Available
Cash shall be distributed to or for the benefit of the Partners of record as of
the applicable Record Date not less frequently than monthly. All such
distributions shall, subject to the rights of any holder of Preference Units,
be distributed among the Partners holding OP Units and Participation Interests
in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests as of the applicable
Record Date.

         8.3 CONSENT TO ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. Each of the Partners
hereby consents to the allocations and distributions provided for in this
Agreement. 8.4 RIGHT TO LIMIT DISTRIBUTIONS. The right of any Partner to
receive distributions of any nature pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
shall be subject to the terms of any agreement between such Partner and the
Partnership limiting, restricting or providing rights of set-off with respect
to such distributions.

         9.2 LIMITATIONS ON POWER AND AUTHORITY OF PARTNERS. Notwithstanding
the powers of the General Partner set forth in Section 9.1 above, the General
Partner shall not have the right or power to do any of the following unless any
such action is approved by a Majority-in-Interest of the Limited Partners:

              A. do any act in contravention of this Agreement, or any
         amendment hereto; or

              B. do any act which would make it impossible to carry on the
         ordinary business of the Partnership, except to the extent that such
         act is specifically permitted by the terms hereof (it being understood
         and agreed that a sale of any or all of the assets of the Partnership,
         for example, would be an ordinary part of the Partnership's business
         and affairs and is specifically permitted hereby).

         9.3 LIMITED PARTNERS. The Limited Partners shall have no right or
authority to act for or to bind the Partnership and no Limited Partner (other
than the General Partner if the General Partner is also a Limited Partner)
shall participate in the conduct or control of the Partnership's affairs or
business.

         9.4 LIABILITY OF GENERAL PARTNER. The General Partner shall not be
liable or accountable, in damages or otherwise, to the Partnership or to any
other Partner for any error of judgment or for any mistakes of fact or law or
for anything which it may do or refrain from doing hereafter in connection with
the business and affairs of the Partnership except (i) in the case of fraud,
willful misconduct (such as an intentional breach of fiduciary duty or an
intentional breach of this Agreement) or gross negligence, and (ii) for other
breaches of this Agreement, but the liability of the General Partner under this
clause (ii) shall be limited to its interest in the Partnership as more
particularly provided for in Section 9.8. The General Partner shall not have
any personal liability for the return of any Limited Partner's Capital
Contributions.

         9.5 INDEMNITY. The Partnership shall indemnify and shall hold the
General Partner (and the officers and directors thereof) harmless from any
liability, loss, cost or damage, including without limitation reasonable legal
fees and court costs, incurred by it by reason of anything it may do or refrain
from doing hereafter for and on behalf of the Partnership or in connection with
its business or affairs; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be
required to indemnify (i) the General Partner for any liability, loss, cost or
damage which it might incur as a result of its fraud, willful misconduct or
gross negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder, (ii) any officer
or director (other than "Independent Directors", as such term is defined in the
Articles of Incorporation) of the General Partner for any liability, loss, cost
or damage which it might incur as a result of misconduct or negligence of such
person, and (iii) any Independent Directors of the General Partner for any
liability, loss, cost or damage which it might incur as a result of willful
misconduct or gross negligence of such person. In addition, the General Partner
shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Partnership for any amounts paid by
it in satisfaction of indemnification obligations owed by the General Partner
to present or former

<PAGE>

officers or directors of the General Partner or its predecessors, as provided
for in or pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the General
Partner. The right of indemnification set forth in this Section 9.5 shall be in
addition to any rights to which the person or entity seeking indemnification
may otherwise be entitled and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and
assigns of any such person or entity. No Partner shall be personally liable
with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.5, but
such claim shall be satisfied solely out of assets of the Partnership.

         9.6 OTHER ACTIVITIES OF PARTNERS AND AGREEMENTS WITH RELATED PARTIES.
Except as may otherwise be agreed to in writing, each Limited Partner, and its
affiliates, shall be free to engage in, to conduct or to participate in any
business or activity whatsoever, including, without limitation, the
acquisition, development, management and exploitation of real and personal
property (other than property of the Partnership), without any accountability,
liability or obligation whatsoever to the Partnership or to any other Partner,
even if such business or activity competes with or is enhanced by the business
of the Partnership. The General Partner, in the exercise of its power and
authority under this Agreement, may contract and otherwise deal with or
otherwise obligate the Partnership to entities in which the General Partner or
any one or more of the officers, directors or shareholders of the General
Partner may have an ownership or other financial interest, whether direct or
indirect.

         9.7 OTHER MATTERS CONCERNING THE GENERAL PARTNER.

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

              B. The General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted or
         perform any of the duties imposed by this Agreement either directly or
         through agents. The General Partner may consult with legal counsel,
         accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers
         and other consultants selected by it, each of whom may serve as
         consultants for the Partnership. An opinion by any consultant on a
         matter which the General Partner believes to be within its
         professional or expert competence shall be full and complete
         protection as to any action taken or omitted by the General Partner
         based on the opinion and actions taken or omitted in accordance
         therewith. The General Partner shall not be responsible for the
         misconduct, negligence, acts or omissions of any consultant or
         contractor of the Partnership or of the General Partner, and shall
         assume no obligation other than to use due care in the selection of
         all consultants and contractors.

              C. No mortgagee, grantee, creditor or any other person dealing
         with the Partnership shall be required to investigate the authority of
         the General Partner or secure the approval of or confirmation by any
         Limited Partner of any act of the General Partner in connection with
         the conduct of any ordinary or extraordinary Partnership business.

              D. The General Partner may retain such persons or entities as it
         shall determine (including the General Partner or any entity in which
         the General Partner shall have an interest or with which it is
         affiliated) to provide services to or on behalf of the Partnership.
         The General Partner shall be entitled to reimbursement from the
         Partnership for its out-of-pocket expenses (including, without
         limitation, amounts paid or payable to the General Partner or any
         entity in which the General Partner shall have an interest or with
         which it is affiliated) incurred in connection with Partnership
         business. Such expenses shall be deemed to include without limitation
         those expenses required in connection with the administration of the
         Partnership such as the maintenance of Partnership books and records,
         management of the Partnership property and assets and preparation of
         information respecting the Partnership needed by the Partners in the
         preparation of their individual tax returns.

              E. The General Partner may loan to the Partnership the net
         proceeds of loans obtained or debt securities issued by the Company so
         long as the terms of such loan to the Partnership are substantially
         equivalent to the corresponding loan obtained or debt securities
         issued by the Company.

         9.8 PARTNER EXCULPATION. Except for fraud, willful misconduct and
gross negligence, no Partner shall have any personal liability whatsoever,
whether to the Partnership or to any other Partner, for the debts or
liabilities of the Partnership or its obligations hereunder, and the full
recourse of any Partner shall be limited to the interest of that Partner in the
Partnership. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no officer, director or
shareholder of the General Partner shall be liable to the Partnership for money
damages except for (i) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final
judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) actual
receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services.
Without limitation of the foregoing, and except for fraud, willful misconduct
and gross negligence, no property or assets of any Partner, other than its
interest in the Partnership, shall be subject to levy, execution or other
enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any judgment (or other judicial
process) in favor of any other Partners and arising out of, or in connection
with, this Agreement. No advisor, trustee, manager, trust manager, member,
director, officer, partner, employee, beneficiary, shareholder, participant or
agent of any Partner (or of any partner of a Partner) shall be personally
liable in any matter or to any extent under or in connection with this
Agreement, and the Partnership, each Partner and their respective successors
and assigns shall look solely to the interest of the other Partner in the
Partnership for the payment of any claim or for any performance hereunder.

         9.9 GENERAL PARTNER EXPENSES AND LIABILITIES. The Partnership will pay
or reimburse the General Partner for all ongoing accounting and administrative
expenses of the General Partner so that, absent extraordinary circumstances,
the General Partner will not bear any expenses beyond those borne by the
Partnership. The Partnership shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including legal, accounting, tax, consulting and other professional fees and
expenses and travel and entertainment expenses) incurred by the Partnership,
the General Partner, and the General Partner and its Affiliates in connection
with the structuring and organization of the Partnership and the General
Partner and the offering and sale of Units and Common Shares and Other

                                 XI ACCOUNTING

         11.1 FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year and taxable year of the Partnership
(the "fiscal year") shall end on the last day of December of each year, unless
another fiscal year end is selected by the General Partner.

         11.2 BOOKS OF ACCOUNT. The Partnership books of account shall be
maintained at the principal office designated in Article 4 or at such other
locations and by such person or persons as may be designated by the General
Partner. The Partnership shall pay the expense of maintaining its books of
account. Each Partner shall have, during reasonable business hours and upon
reasonable prior notice, access to the books of the Partnership and in
addition, at its expense, shall have the right to copy such books. The General
Partner, at the expense of the Partnership, shall cause to be prepared and
distributed to the Partners annual financial data sufficient to reflect the
status and operations of the Partnership and its assets and to enable each
Partner to file its federal income tax return.

         11.3 METHOD OF ACCOUNTING. The Partnership books of account shall be

consistently applied, or such other method of accounting as may be adopted

         11.4 TAX MATTERS.

              A. The General Partner is hereby designated the Tax Matters
         Partner (hereinafter referred to as the "TMP") of the Partnership and
         shall have all rights and obligations of the TMP under the Code. The
         Partnership shall reimburse the TMP for any and all out-of-pocket
         costs and expenses (including attorneys' and accountants' fees)
         incurred or sustained by it in its capacity as TMP. The Partnership
         shall indemnify, defend and hold the TMP harmless from and against any
         loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including attorneys' and
         accountants' fees) sustained or incurred as a result of any act or
         decision concerning the Partnership tax matters and within the scope
         of its responsibility as TMP. If the Partnership is the subject of an
         income tax audit by any federal, state, local or foreign authority,
         then to the extent the Partnership is treated as an entity for
         purposes of the audit, including administrative settlement and
         judicial review, the TMP shall be authorized to act for, and its
         decision shall be final and binding upon, the Partnership and each
         Partner.

              B. The General Partner shall take such steps as are necessary to
         ensure that the Partnership is taxed as a partnership under the Code.
         Subject to the preceding

                                      33

<PAGE>

         sentence, the General Partner shall have the exclusive right to
         make any determination whether the Partnership shall make available
         elections (including any election pursuant to Code Section 754 to
         adjust the tax basis of Partnership assets) for federal, state, or
         local tax purposes, and the General Partner shall be absolved from all
         liability and other consequences from its making or failing to make
         any such election. All decisions and other matters concerning the
         computation and allocation or tax items and attributes which are not
         otherwise specifically provided for by the terms of this Agreement
         shall be determined by the General Partner, and the General Partner
         shall be absolved from all liability and other consequences from any
         such decisions which are made in good faith.

              C. The General Partner shall take all such actions as are
         reasonably necessary for the Partnership to comply with any
         withholding or comparable requirements under federal, state, local and
         foreign law and shall remit any amounts withheld to, and file required
         forms with, the applicable taxing jurisdictions. All amounts withheld
         from distributions shall be treated as having been distributed to the
         Partner with respect to whom the withholding was made. Any amounts
         that are required to be withheld by the Partnership with respect to a
         Partner which are in excess or in advance of distributions to such
         Partnership shall be paid over by such Partner to the Partnership.
         Each Partner agrees to furnish the Partnership with such
         representations and forms as the General Partner shall reasonably
         request to assist in complying with the Partnership's withholding
         obligations. A Partner subject to withholding shall pay to or
         reimburse the Partnership for taxes, related interest and penalties,
         and all other costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership in
         connection with such withholding obligation, except for interest,

                  Company and/or any applicable agreement executed by the
                  transferor.

                           (iv)  Such Transfer would not violate the securities
                  laws of any jurisdiction applicable to the Partnership or the
                  Partnership Interest to be assigned or transferred;

                           (v)   Such Transfer would not cause the Partnership

                  regarding the foregoing matters in form and substance
                  reasonably acceptable to the General Partner as a condition
                  to any such Transfer.

                  General Partner, (y) by treating the interest in the
                  Partnership so transferred as if it had been exchanged for
                  Common Shares in accordance with Section 3.2(C) above,
                  violate the limitations on ownership of Common Shares
                  contained in the Articles of Incorporation and/or Bylaws of
                  the Company, or (z) violate any State or Federal securities
                  laws.

                           (x) The Transferee shall have agreed to be bound by
                  the terms of this

                                      35

<PAGE>

                  Agreement and shall have executed a counterpart hereof or
                  joinder hereto.

              B. A Limited Partner shall notify the General Partner of any
         Transfer of beneficial interest or other interest which occurs without
         a transfer of record ownership, as well as any pledge or other
         collateral transfer.

              C. No part of the interest of a Limited Partner shall be subject
         to the claims of any creditor, any spouse for alimony or support, or
         to legal process, and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily
         alienated or encumbered except as may be specifically provided for in
         this Agreement. A Limited Partner shall not be permitted to retire or
         withdraw from the Partnership except as expressly permitted by this
         Agreement.

              D. Any Transferee of all or any portion of a Limited Partner's
         interest in the Partnership in accordance and compliance with the
         provisions of this Section 12.2 shall be entitled to receive Profits,
         Losses and distributions hereunder attributable to such interest
         acquired by reason of such Transfer, from and after the effective date
         of the Transfer of such interest; provided, however, anything in this
         Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) without the prior
         written consent of the General Partner, no Transferee shall be
         considered a substituted Limited Partner; (ii) the Partnership and the
         General Partner shall be entitled to treat the Transferor of such
         interest as the absolute owner thereof in all respects, and shall
         incur no liability for the allocation of Profits and Losses or
         distributions which are made to such Transferor until such time as the
         written instrument of Transfer has been received by the General
         Partner and the "effective date" of the Transfer has passed, and (c)
         the General Partner shall have the right to require any such
         Transferor to exchange such Partnership Interest for Common Shares or
         cash, pursuant to Section 3.2(C) above. The "effective date" of any
         Transfer shall be the last day of the month set forth on the written
         instrument of Transfer or such other date consented to in writing by
         the General Partner as the "effective date."

         12.3 ADMISSION ADJUSTMENTS. The General Partner shall, when necessary,
cause this Agreement to be amended from time to time (and shall cause Schedule
A to be revised), to reflect the admission or withdrawal of Partners, and the
issuance, conversion and redemption of any Preference Units and/or OP Units
(including the corresponding adjustment to Percentage Interests).

         12.4 TRANSFERS TO LENDERS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, no transfer of any Units or Participation Interest
may be made to a lender to the Partnership or any person who is related (within
the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-4(b)) to any lender to the Partnership
whose loan constitutes a Nonrecourse Liability, without the consent of the
General Partner, which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner
in its sole and absolute discretion, provided that as a condition to such
consent being granted the lender will be required to enter into an arrangement
with the Partnership and the General Partner to exchange or redeem for the Cash
Amount or the REIT Shares Amount any Units or Participation Interest in which a
security interest is held simultaneously with the time at which such lender
would be deemed to be a partner in the Partnership for purposes of allocating
liabilities to such lender under Code Section 752.

                           ADMISSION OF NEW PARTNERS

                  The General Partner shall admit to the Partnership as limited

accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE XIV
            TERMINATION, LIQUIDATION AND DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP

         14.1 TERMINATION EVENTS. The Partnership shall be dissolved and its
affairs wound up in the manner hereinafter provided upon the earliest to occur
of the following events:

              A. the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
         Partnership; or

              B. subject to Section 14.4 below, the entry of a final judgment,
         order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction adjudicating as
         bankrupt either the Partnership or the General Partner, and the
         expiration without appeal of the period, if any, allowed by applicable
         law to appeal therefrom.

         14.2 METHOD OF LIQUIDATION. Upon the happening of any of the events
specified in Section 14.1 above, the General Partner (or if there be no General
Partner, a liquidating trustee selected by a Majority-in-Interest of the
Limited Partners) shall immediately commence to wind up the Partnership's
affairs and shall liquidate the assets of the Partnership as promptly as
possible, unless the General Partner, or the liquidating trustee, shall
determine that an immediate sale of Partnership assets would cause undue loss
to the Partnership, in which event the liquidation may be deferred for a
reasonable time. The Partners shall continue to share distributions, Profits
and Losses during the period of liquidation in the same proportions as before
dissolution (subject to Section 14.2(C) below). The proceeds from liquidation
of the Partnership, including repayment of any debts of Partners to the
Partnership, shall be applied in the following order:

              A. Debts of the Partnership, including repayments of principal
         and interest on loans and advances made by the General Partner
         pursuant to Sections 3.3 and/or 9.7 above; then

              B. To the establishment of any reserves deemed necessary or
         appropriate by the General Partner, or by the person(s) winding up the
         affairs of the Partnership in the event there is no remaining General
         Partner of the Partnership, for any contingent or unforeseen
         liabilities or obligations of the Partnership. Such reserves
         established hereunder shall be held for the purpose of paying any such
         contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations and, at the
         expiration of such period as the General Partner, or such person(s)
         deems advisable, the balance of such reserves shall be distributed in
         the manner provided hereinafter in this Section 14.2 as though such
         reserves had been distributed contemporaneously with the other funds
         distributed hereunder; and then

                                      37

<PAGE>

              C. To the Partners in accordance with their respective positive
         Capital Account balances, after giving effect to all contributions,
         distributions and allocations for all periods. In connection
         therewith, income, gain and loss of the Partnership (and to the extent
         necessary to achieve the purposes hereof, items of gross income and
         deduction) with respect to the sale or other disposition of all or
         substantially all of the Partnership's assets and/or the Partnership's
         operations in connection therewith (whether or not attributable to the
         taxable year in which the distribution pursuant to this Section
         14.2(C) is to be made or a preceding taxable year) shall be allocated
         among the Partners so that each Partner's Capital Account shall equal,
         after taking into account the prior balance (positive or negative) in
         such Partner's Capital Account and the effect of such allocation, the
         amount that such Partner would be entitled to receive if the
         Partnership were to make a distribution to the Partners pursuant to
         the provisions of Section 8.2 hereof in an amount equal to the
         remaining liquidation proceeds to be distributed under this Section
         14.2(C).

         14.3 DATE OF TERMINATION. The Partnership shall be terminated when all
notes received in connection with any liquidating sales or other dispositions
have been paid or distributed and all of the cash or property available for
application and distribution under Section 14.2 above (including reserves)
shall have been applied and distributed in accordance therewith.

         14.4 RECONSTITUTION UPON BANKRUPTCY.

              A. Notwithstanding any dissolution of the Partnership under
         Section 14.1(D) above, if the Partnership is reconstituted as set
         forth in this Section 14.4, then the business of the Partnership shall
         be continued with the Partnership's property and the Partnership's
         assets shall not be liquidated.

              B. If the Partnership is dissolved by reason of the bankruptcy of
         the General Partner, a successor general partner may, in the
         discretion of the General Partner hereunder with the written consent
         of a Majority-in-Interest of the Limited Partners, be admitted within
         90 days after the dissolution, effective as of the date of
         dissolution. Upon the admission of such successor general partner,
         without any further consent or approval of any other Partner, the
         Partnership shall be reconstituted as a successor limited partnership.

              C. If the Partnership is dissolved by reason of the bankruptcy of
         the Partnership in a proceeding for the reorganization (and not the
         liquidation) of the Partnership, then, with the consent of the Company
         and a Majority-in-Interest of the Limited Partners, the Partnership
         may be reconstituted within 90 days after dissolution, effective as of
         the date of dissolution, whereupon the Partnership shall be
         reconstituted as a successor limited partnership.

         A. The successor limited partnership reconstituted in accordance with
the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.4 shall continue the business of
the Partnership with the Partnership's property. The Percentage Interests of
the Partners in the successor limited partnership shall be in proportion to
their respective Percentage Interests in the dissolved Partnership. Such
successor limited partnership shall be governed by the terms

                                      38

<PAGE>

and provisions of this Agreement and references in this Agreement to the
Partnership or to the Partners or their rights and obligations shall be
understood to comprehend such successor limited partnership and the Partners
thereof and their rights and obligations.

         14.5 DEATH, LEGAL INCOMPETENCY, ETC. OF A LIMITED PARTNER. The death,
legal incompetency, insolvency, dissolution or bankruptcy of a Limited Partner
shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership. Upon the death or incapacity
of an individual Limited Partner, such individual Limited Partner's interest in
the Partnership shall be transferred either by will, the laws of intestacy or
otherwise to the legal representative or successor of such individual Limited
Partner.

                                  ARTICLE XV
                               POWER OF ATTORNEY

         appropriate under, the laws of the State of Delaware, the State of
         Texas or any other State or jurisdiction in which the Partnership is
         doing or intends to do business, in order to discharge the purposes of
         the Partnership or otherwise in connection with the use of the name or
         names used by the Partnership;

              C. any other instrument which may be required to be filed or
         recorded by the Partnership on behalf of the Partners under the laws
         of any State or by any governmental agency in order for the
         Partnership to conduct its business;

              D. any documents which may be required to effect the continuation
         of the Partnership, the admission of a substitute or additional
         Partner, the dissolution and termination of the Partnership or the
         amendment and restatement of Schedule A, provided such continuation,
         admission, dissolution and termination or amendment and restatement of
         Schedule A, is not in violation of any provision of this Agreement;
         and

              E. any documents which may be required or desirable to have the

              A. Each Limited Partner, by his execution of or joinder in this
         Agreement, hereby irrevocably appoints the General Partner with power
         of substitution, as his true and lawful attorney coupled with an
         interest, in his name, place and stead to amend this Agreement in any
         respect other than:

                (i) to enlarge the obligation of any Partner to make

its own account for investment only and not for the purpose of, or with a view
toward, the resale or distribution of all or any part thereof, nor with a view
toward selling or otherwise distributing such interest or any part thereof at
any particular time or under any predetermined circumstances. Each Partner
further represents and warrants that it is a sophisticated investor, able and
accustomed to handling sophisticated financial matters for itself, particularly
real estate investments, and that it has a sufficiently high net worth that it
does not anticipate a need for the funds it has invested in the Partnership in
what it understands to be a highly speculative and illiquid investment.

         17.14 ACCESS TO RECORDS. Any Shareholder and any designated
representative thereof shall be permitted reasonable access to all the records
of the Partnership at and during reasonable times, and may inspect and copy any

other Partner of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a

other Partner of the same or any other obligations of such Partner hereunder.
Failure on the part of any Partner to complain of any act or failure to act on
the part of any other Partner or to declare any other Partner in default,
irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver
by such Partner of its rights hereunder.

         17.16 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, which when taken together, shall constitute but one original.

Board of Directors acting on behalf of the General Partner, the Advisor shall
notify the Board of Directors of the Advisor's judgment of the potential impact
of such action and shall refrain from taking such action until it receives
further clarification or instructions from the Board of Directors. In such event
the Advisor shall have no liability for acting in accordance with the specific

employees and equityholders, shall be liable to the Company, the General
Partner, the Board of Directors or the Shareholders for any act or omission by

determine that such excess was justified, based on unusual and non-recurring
factors which they deem sufficient, in which case the Excess Amount may be
reimbursed. Any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter
without the Independent Directors determining that such expenses were justified
shall be repaid to the Company. Within 60 days after the end of any fiscal
quarter of the Company for which total Operating Expenses for the Expense Year
exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines and the Independent Directors determined that such
expenses were justified, there shall be sent to the Shareholders a written
disclosure of such fact, together with an explanation of the factors the
Independent Directors considered in determining that such excess expenses were
justified. Such determination shall be reflected in the minutes of the meetings
of the Board of Directors. The Company will not reimburse the Advisor or its

                                 OTHER SERVICES

         Should (i) the General Partner request that the Advisor or any
director, officer or employee thereof render services for the Company other than
as set forth in this Agreement or

                                       17
<PAGE>

(ii) there are changes to the regulatory environment in which the Advisor or
Company operates that would increase significantly the level of services
performed such that the costs and expenses borne by the Advisor for which the
Advisor is not entitled to separate reimbursement for personnel and related
employment direct costs and overhead under Article 10 of this Agreement would
increase significantly, such services shall be separately compensated at such
rates and in such amounts as are agreed by the Advisor and the Independent
Directors, subject to the limitations contained in the Articles of
Incorporation, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE 12

      RELATIONSHIP OF ADVISOR AND COMPANY; OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR

         12.01 Relationship. The Company and the Advisor are not partners or
joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to make them such partners or joint venturers. Nothing herein
contained shall prevent the Advisor from engaging in other activities,
including, without limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons and the
management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Advisor or
its Affiliates. Nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any
director, officer, employee, or equityholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to
engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other
Person. The Advisor may, with respect to any investment in which the Company is
a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other
participant therein. The Advisor shall promptly disclose to the Board of
Directors the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or
anticipated, of which it has knowledge, which creates or could create a conflict
of interest between the Advisor's obligations to the Company and its obligations
to or its interest in any other Person.

         12.02 Time Commitment. The Advisor shall, and shall cause its
Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents to, devote to the
Company such time as shall be reasonably necessary to conduct the business and
affairs of the Company in an appropriate manner consistent with the terms of
this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that the Advisor and other Affiliates
of Hines and their respective employees, officers and agents may also engage in
activities unrelated to the Company and may provide services to Persons other
than the Company or any of its Affiliates.

         12.03 Investment Opportunities and Allocation. The Advisor shall be
required to use commercially reasonable efforts to present a continuing and
suitable investment program to the Company which is consistent with the
investment policies and objectives of the Company, but neither the Advisor nor
any Affiliate of the Advisor shall be obligated generally to present any
particular investment opportunity to the Company even if the opportunity is of
character which, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company. In
the event an investment opportunity is located, the allocation procedure set
forth under the caption "Conflicts of Interest--Competitive Activities of Hines
and its Affiliates" in the Prospectus shall govern the allocation of the
opportunity among the Company and Affiliates of the Advisor.

                                   ARTICLE 13

                                 THE HINES NAME

         The Advisor, Hines and their Affiliates have a proprietary interest in
the name "Hines". The Advisor hereby grants to the Company a non-transferable,
non-assignable, non-exclusive royalty-free right and license to use the name
"Hines" during the term of this Agreement. Accordingly, and in recognition of
this right, if at any time the Company ceases to retain Hines or an Affiliate
thereof to perform the services of Advisor, the Company (including the General

                                       19
<PAGE>

Partner) will, promptly after receipt of written request from Hines, cease to
conduct business under or use the name "Hines" or any derivative thereof and the
Company and the General Partner shall change the name of the Company and the
General Partner to a name that does not contain the name "Hines" or any other
word or words that might, in the reasonable discretion of the Advisor, be
susceptible of indication of some form of relationship between the Company and
the Advisor or any Affiliate thereof. At such time, the Company will also make
any changes to any trademarks, servicemarks or other marks necessary to remove
any references to the word "Hines". Consistent with the foregoing, it is
specifically recognized that the Advisor or one or more of its Affiliates has in
the past and may in the future organize, sponsor or otherwise permit to exist
other investment vehicles (including vehicles for investment in real estate) and
financial and service organizations having "Hines" as a part of their name, all
without the need for any consent (and without the right to object thereto) by
the Company or the General Partner.

             transition of advisory functions.

Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, neither party shall have
any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except that Articles 13,
16 and 18 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

         14.06 Redemption of OP Units. In the event this Agreement expires
without the consent of the Advisor, or is terminated for any reason other than

the Advisor or any of its Affiliates and at any time (and from time to time)
after the effective date of such expiration or termination, purchase all or a
portion of the Units or Participation Interest (as applicable and as such terms
are defined in the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Company) held by the
Advisor and its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 14.06. The Company shall
purchase such Units or Participation Interest for cash, which shall be payable
within 120 days after the Advisor or its Affiliates (as applicable) gives the
Company written notice of its desire to sell all or a portion of the Units or
Participation Interest held by such Person to the Company. The purchase price
shall be paid in cash or, at the election of the selling Person, Shares. The

         16.01 Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective
officers, directors, partners and employees, from all liability, claims, damages
or losses arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to the extent such liability,
claims, damages or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by
insurance, subject to any limitations imposed by the laws of the State of Texas,
the Articles of Incorporation or

                                       23
<PAGE>

Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Company, provided that: (i) the Advisor
and its Affiliates have determined that the course of conduct which caused the
loss or liability was in the best interests of the Company, (ii) the Advisor and
its Affiliates were acting on behalf of or performing services for the Company,
and (iii) the indemnified claim was not the result of negligence, misconduct, or
fraud of the indemnified person or resulted from a breach of the agreement by
the Advisor. Any indemnification of the Advisor may be made only out of the net
assets of the Company and not from the General Partner or the Shareholders.

         16.02 Indemnification by the Advisor. The Advisor shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Company from contract or other liability, claims, damages,
taxes or losses and related expenses, including attorneys' fees, to the extent
that such liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses are
not fully reimbursed by insurance and are incurred by reason of the Advisor's
bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct or reckless disregard of its duties, but
the Advisor shall not be held responsible for any action of the Board of
Directors in following or declining to follow any of the Advisor's advice or
recommendation.

         16.03 Advisor's Liability

                  (i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in
         no event shall the Company make any claim against Advisor, or its
         Affiliates, on account of any good faith interpretation by Advisor of
         the provisions of this Agreement (even if such interpretation is later
         determined to be a breach of this Agreement) or any alleged errors in
         judgment made in good faith and in accordance with this Agreement in
         connection with the operation of the operations of the Company
         hereunder by Advisor or the performance of any advisory or technical
         services provided by or arranged by the

                                       24
<PAGE>

         Advisor. The provisions of this Section 16.3(a) shall not be deemed to
         release Advisor from liability for its gross negligence.

                  (ii) The Company shall not object to any expenditures made by
         the Advisor in good faith in the course of its performance of its
         obligations under this Agreement or in settlement of any claim arising
         out of the operation of the Company unless such expenditure is
         specifically prohibited by this Agreement. The provisions of this
         Section 16.03(b) shall not be deemed to release Advisor from liability
         for its gross negligence.

                  (iii) IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES
         BASED ON LOSS OF INCOME, PROFIT OR SAVINGS OR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
         CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF THE OTHER
         PARTY OR PERSON, INCLUDING THIRD PARTIES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN
         ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE, AND ALL SUCH
         DAMAGES ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. IN NO EVENT WILL ADVISOR'S AGGREGATE
         LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EVER EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES IT
         ACTUALLY RECEIVES FROM THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 9.

                                   ARTICLE 17

                             COMPANY ADMINISTRATION

records and books of account for the Company. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, such books and records shall be maintained on a basis which
