good faith on the basis of such quotations and other information as it

(i) declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding REIT Shares in REIT Shares or
makes a distribution to all holders of its outstanding REIT Shares in REIT
Shares, (ii) subdivides its outstanding REIT Shares, or (iii) combines its
outstanding REIT Shares into a smaller number of REIT Shares, the Conversion

the record date for such dividend, distribution, subdivision, or combination
(assuming for such purposes that such dividend, distribution, subdivision, or
combination has occurred as of such time), and the denominator of which shall be
the actual number of REIT Shares (determined without the above assumption)
issued and outstanding on such date and, provided further, that in the event
                                         --------

<PAGE>

the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Factor by
the number of shares of the Successor Entity into which one REIT Share is
converted pursuant to such merger, consolidation or combination, determined as
of the date of such merger, consolidation, or combination. Any adjustment to the
Conversion Factor shall become effective immediately after the effective date of
such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event; provided,

however, that, if a Redeeming Partner is to receive the Cash Amount and the

affect the ability of the Company to initially qualify, or continue to qualify,
as a REIT; (ii) subject the Company to any taxes under Section 857 or Section
4981 of the Code (other than any tax imposed under Code Section 857 on capital
gains that the Company elects to retain); or (iii) violate any law or regulation
of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company or its
securities, unless such action (or inaction) shall have been specifically
consented to in writing by the Company.

          by the Partnership in accordance with this Section 4.02 and (B) the
          Company shall make a Capital Contribution (directly or through the

other than to all holders of REIT Shares, unless (A) the General Partner shall
cause the Partnership to issue to the Company Partnership Interests or rights,
options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities of the Partnership
having designations, preferences and other rights, all such that the economic
interests are substantially similar to those of the Additional Securities, and
(B) the Company contributes (directly or through the General Partner) the
proceeds from the issuance of such Additional Securities and from any exercise
of rights contained in such Additional Securities to the Partnership; provided,
                                                                      --------
however, that the Company is allowed to issue Additional Securities without
-------
complying with the provisions of (A) and (B) above if such issuance of
Additional Securities has been approved and determined to be in the best
interests of the Company and the Partnership by a majority of the Independent
Directors. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company is expressly authorized
to issue Additional Securities for less than fair market value, and the General
Partner is expressly authorized to cause the Partnership to issue to the Company
corresponding Partnership Interests, so long as (x) the General Partner
concludes in good faith that such issuance is in the best interests of the
Partnership, and (y) the Company contributes (directly or through the General
Partner) all proceeds from such issuance to the Partnership. In the event the
Company issues REIT Shares for a cash purchase price and contributes (directly
or through the General Partner) all of the proceeds of such issuance to the
Partnership, the General Partner shall be issued a number of additional
Partnership Units equal to the product of (A) the number of such REIT Shares
issued by the Company, the proceeds of which were so contributed, multiplied by
(B) a fraction, the numerator of which is 100%, and the denominator of which is
the Conversion Factor in effect on the date of such contribution.

     (c) Certain Deemed Contributions of Proceeds of Offering of REIT Shares. In
         -------------------------------------------------------------------
connection with any and all offerings of REIT Shares, the Company shall make
(directly or through the General Partner) Capital Contributions to the
Partnership of the net proceeds therefrom, provided that if the proceeds
                                           --------
actually received and contributed are less than the gross proceeds of such
offering as a result of any underwriter's discount or other expenses paid or
incurred in connection with such issuance, then the Company shall make (directly
or through a General Partner) a Capital Contribution of such net proceeds to the
Partnership but the General

                                       17

<PAGE>

Partner shall receive additional Partnership Units with a value equal to the
aggregate amount of the gross proceeds of such issuance pursuant to Section
4.02(a) hereof. Upon any such Capital Contribution by the Company or the General
Partner, its Capital Account shall be increased by the actual amount of its
Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof.

     Section 4.03  Additional Funding.
                   ------------------

     If the General Partner determines that it is in the best interests of the
Partnership to provide for additional Partnership funds ("Additional Funds") for
any Partnership purpose, the General Partner may (i) cause the Partnership to
obtain such funds from outside borrowings, or (ii) elect to have the General
Partner provide such Additional Funds to the Partnership through loans or
otherwise.

                   ----------------

     A separate capital account (a "Capital Account") shall be established and
maintained for each Partner in accordance with Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). If (i) a new or existing Partner acquires an additional
Partnership Interest in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital
Contribution, (ii) the Partnership distributes to a Partner more than a de
minimis amount of Partnership property as consideration for a Partnership
Interest, or (iii) the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of
Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), the General Partner shall revalue the
property of the Partnership to its fair market value (as determined by the
General Partner, in its sole discretion, and taking into account Section 7701(g)
of the Code) in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f). When
the Partnership's property is revalued by the General Partner, the Capital
Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted in accordance with Regulations
Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and (g), which generally require such Capital
Accounts to be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized gain or
loss inherent in such property (that has not been reflected in the Capital
Account previously) would be allocated among the Partners pursuant to Section

value (as determined by the General Partner, in its sole discretion, and taking
into account Section 7701(g) of the Code) on the date of the revaluation.

     Section 4.05  Percentage Interests.
                   --------------------

     If the number of outstanding Partnership Units increases or decreases
during a taxable year, each Partner's Percentage Interest shall be adjusted by
the General Partner effective as of the effective date of each such increase or
decrease to a percentage equal to the number of Partnership Units held by such
Partner divided by the aggregate number of Partnership Units outstanding after
giving effect to such increase or decrease. If the Partners' Percentage
Interests are adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.05, Operating Income for the
taxable year in which the

                                       18

<PAGE>

adjustment occurs shall be allocated between the part of the year ending on the
day preceding the effective date of such adjustment and the part of the year
beginning on the effective date of such adjustment either (i) as if the taxable
year had ended on the date of the adjustment or (ii) based on the number of days
in each part. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, shall determine which
method shall be used to allocate Operating Income for the taxable year in which
the adjustment occurs. The allocation of Operating Income for the earlier part
of the year shall be based on the Percentage Interests before adjustment, and
the allocation of Operating Income for the later part shall be based on the
adjusted Percentage Interests.

     Section 4.06  No Interest on Contributions.
                   ----------------------------

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

     Section 4.07  Return of Capital Contributions.
                   -------------------------------

     No Partner shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital
Contribution or its Capital Account or to receive any distribution from the
Partnership, except as specifically provided in this Agreement. Except as
otherwise provided herein, there shall be no obligation to return to any Partner
or withdrawn Partner any part of such Partner's Capital Contribution for so long
as the Partnership continues in existence.

     Section 4.08  No Third-Party Beneficiary.
                   --------------------------

     No creditor or other third party having dealings with the Partnership shall
have the right to enforce the right or obligation of any Partner to make Capital
Contributions or loans or to pursue any other right or remedy hereunder or at
law or in equity, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of this
Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of, and may be enforced solely by, the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. None of the rights
or obligations of the Partners herein set forth to make Capital Contributions or
loans to the Partnership shall be deemed an asset of the Partnership for any
purpose by any creditor or other third party, nor may such rights or obligations
be sold, transferred, or assigned by the Partnership or pledged or encumbered by
the Partnership to secure any debt or other obligation of the Partnership or of
any of the Partners. In addition, it is the intent of the parties hereto that no
distribution to any Limited Partner shall be deemed a return of money or other
property in violation of the Act. However, if any court of competent
jurisdiction holds that, not withstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any
Limited Partner is obligated to return such money or property, such obligation
shall be the obligation of such Limited Partner and not of the General Partner.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a deficit Capital Account of a
Partner shall not be deemed to be a liability of such Partner nor an asset or
property of the Partnership.

Partner's shares of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt
Minimum Gain, as determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)

and manner sufficient to eliminate such deficit Capital Account balance as
quickly as possible as provided in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).
After the occurrence of an allocation of income or gain to a Partner in
accordance with this Section 5.01(h), to the extent permitted by Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b), items of expense or loss shall be allocated to such Partner
in an amount necessary to offset the income or gain previously allocated to such
Partner under this Section 5.01(h).

         (i) Capital Account Deficits. Loss shall not be allocated to a Partner
             ------------------------

Partner's shares of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt
Minimum Gain. Any loss in excess of that limitation shall be allocated to other
Partners who have positive Capital Account balances in accordance with their
respective Percentage Interests. After the occurrence of an allocation of loss
to a Partner in accordance with this Section 5.01(i), to the extent permitted by
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b),

                                       24

of the various items of income, gain, loss, and expense allocable among the
Partners during such fiscal year of the Partnership shall be allocated between
the transferor and the transferee Partner either (i) as if the Partnership's
fiscal year had ended on the date of the transfer, or (ii) based on the number
of days of such fiscal year that each was a Partner without regard to the
results of Partnership activities in the respective portions of such fiscal year
in which the transferor and the transferee were Partners. The General Partner,
in its sole discretion, shall determine which method shall be used to allocate
the distributive shares of the various items of income, gain, loss, and expense
between the transferor and the transferee Partner.

         (k) Definition of Profit and Loss. "Profit" and "Loss" and any items of

purposes shall be identical to all allocations of such items set forth in this
Section 5.01, except as otherwise required by Section 704(c) of the Code and

             (i) First, 100% to the General Partner and the Limited Partners in

         Partner and the Limited Partners have received an amount equal to the
         sum of (A) the excess, if any, of (I) the cumulative Return for the
         current and all prior years over (II) the sum of all prior
         distributions to the General Partner and the Limited Partners pursuant
         to this Section 5.02(a)(i)(A) and Section 5.02(b)(i)(C) and (B) any

         Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, and
         15% to the Special Limited Partner.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if a new or existing Partner acquires an
additional Partnership Interest in exchange for a Capital Contribution on any
date other than a Partnership Record Date, the cash distribution attributable to
such additional Partnership Interest relating to the Partnership Record Date
next following the issuance of such additional Partnership Interest shall be
reduced in the proportion to (i) the number of days that such additional
Partnership Interest is held by such Partner bears to (ii) the number of days
between such Partnership Record Date and the immediately preceding Partnership
Record Date.

         (b)  Sale Proceeds. The Partnership shall distribute Sale Proceeds on a
              -------------
quarterly (or, at the election of the General Partner, more frequent) basis, in
an amount determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion, to the
Partners who are Partners on the Partnership Record Date with respect to such
quarter (or other distribution period) as follows:

              (i)  First, 100% to the General Partner and the Limited Partners
         in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests until the
         General Partner and the Limited Partners have received an amount equal
         to the sum of (A) the Allocable Invested Capital with respect to the
         Properties sold during such quarter (or other distribution period), (B)
         any Cumulative Allocable Invested Capital Shortfall that is not being
         distributed pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i)(B) hereof, and (C) any
         cumulative shortfall in the General Partner's and the Limited Partners'
         receipt of the Return pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i)(A) hereof; and

              (ii) Thereafter, 85% to the General Partner and the Limited
         Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, and
         15% to the Special Limited Partner.

         (c)  Clawback.  Notwithstanding Sections 5.02(a) and (b) hereof, if
              --------
there is a shortfall in the distribution of the Return to the General Partner
and the Limited Partners at the end of any calendar year and the Special Limited
Partner previously has received distributions pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(ii) or
5.02(b)(ii) (other than distributions that have previously been repaid pursuant
to this Section 5.02(c)), the Special Limited Partner will be required to repay
to the Partnership whatever portion of those prior distributions is necessary to
cause the Return to be met. The Partnership will distribute any repaid amounts
to the General Partner and the Limited Partners in accordance with their
respective Percentage Interests. For purposes of this Section 5.02(c), in
determining whether there is a shortfall in the Return, only amounts distributed
pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i)(A) or Section

                                       26

<PAGE>

5.02(b)(i)(C) generally will be taken into account. However, to the extent that
the Special Limited Partner has returned a distribution under this Section
5.02(c), the returned distribution plus the original accompanying 85%
distribution to the General Partner and the Limited Partners will be treated as
having been distributed 100% to the General Partner and the Limited Partners
pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i)(A) or Section 5.02(b)(i)(C). In no event will the
cumulative amount repaid by the Special Limited Partner to the Partnership
pursuant to this Section 5.02(c) exceed the cumulative amount of distributions
that the Special Limited Partner previously has received pursuant to Sections
5.02(a)(ii) and 5.02(b)(ii).

         (d) Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
             -----------
the General Partner is authorized to take any action that it determines to be
necessary or appropriate to cause the Partnership to comply with any withholding
requirements established under the Code or any other federal, state, or local
law, including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, and
1446 of the Code. To the extent that the Partnership is required to withhold and
pay over to any taxing authority any amount resulting from the allocation or
distribution of income to the Partner or assignee (including by reason of
Section 1446 of the Code), either (i) if the actual amount to be distributed to
the Partner (the "Distributable Amount") equals or exceeds the amount required
to be withheld by the Partnership (the "Withheld Amount"), the entire
Distributable Amount shall be treated as a distribution of cash to such Partner,
or (ii) if the Amount is less than the Withheld Amount, the excess of the
Withheld Amount over the Distributable Amount shall be treated as a loan (a
"Partnership Loan") from the Partnership to the Partner on the day the
Partnership pays over such amount to a taxing authority. A Partnership Loan
shall be repaid through withholding by the Partnership with respect to
subsequent distributions to the applicable Partner or assignee. In the event
that a Limited Partner (a "Defaulting Limited Partner") fails to pay any amount
owed to the Partnership with respect to the Partnership Loan within 15 days
after demand for payment thereof is made by the Partnership on the Limited
Partner, the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may elect to make the
payment to the Partnership on behalf of such Defaulting Limited Partner. In such
event, on the date of payment, the General Partner shall be deemed to have
extended a loan (a "General Partner Loan") to the Defaulting Limited Partner in
the amount of the payment made by the General Partner and shall succeed to all
rights and remedies of the Partnership against the Defaulting Limited Partner as
to that amount. Without limitation, the General Partner shall have the right to
receive any distributions that otherwise would made by the Partnership to the
Defaulting Limited Partner until such time the General Partner Loan has been
paid in full, and any such distributions so received the General Partner shall
be treated as having been received by the Defaulting Limited Partner and
immediately paid to the General Partner.

                                       27

<PAGE>

            Any amounts treated as a Partnership Loan or a General Partner Loan
pursuant to this Section 5.02(d) shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) the
base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial
banks, as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal, or (ii) the
maximum lawful rate of interest on such obligation, such interest to accrue from
the date the Partnership or the General Partner, as applicable, is deemed to
extend the loan until such loan is repaid in full.

        (e) Redeemed Partnership Units. In no event may a Partner receive a
            --------------------------
distribution of cash with respect to a Partnership Unit if such Partner is
entitled to receive an equivalent cash dividend as the holder of record of a
REIT Share for which all or part of such Partnership Unit has been or will be
redeemed.

        Section 5.03  REIT Distribution Requirements.
                      ------------------------------

        The General Partner shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the
Partnership to distribute amounts sufficient to enable the Company to pay
shareholder dividends that will allow a Company to (i) meet its distribution
requirement for qualification as a REIT as set forth in Section 857 of the Code
and (ii) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability imposed by the Code
(other than federal income tax liability associated with capital gains that the
Company elects to retain).

        Section 5.04  No Right to Distributions in Kind.
                      ---------------------------------

        No Partner shall be entitled to demand property other than cash in
connection with any distributions by the Partnership.

        Section 5.05  Limitations on Return of Capital Contributions.
                      ----------------------------------------------

        Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Article V, no Partner
shall have the right to receive, and the General Partner shall not have the
right to make, a distribution that includes a return of all or part of a
Partner's Capital Contributions, unless after giving effect to the return of a
Capital Contribution, the sum of all Partnership liabilities, other than the
liabilities to a Partner for the return of his Capital Contribution, does not
exceed the fair market value of the Partnership's assets.

        Section 5.06  Distributions Upon Liquidation.
                      ------------------------------

        (a) Upon liquidation of the Partnership, after payment of, or adequate
provision for, debts and obligations of the Partnership, including any Partner
loans, any remaining assets of the Partnership shall be distributed to all
Partners with positive Capital Accounts in accordance with their respective
positive Capital Account balances. For purposes of this Section 5.06(a), the
Capital Account of each

                                       28

<PAGE>

Partner shall be determined after all adjustments made in accordance with
Sections 5.01 and 5.02 resulting from Partnership operations and from all sales
and dispositions of all or any part of the Partnership's assets. To the extent
deemed advisable by the General Partner, appropriate arrangements (including the
use of a liquidating trust) may be made to assure that adequate funds are
available to pay any contingent debts or obligations.

     (b)  If less than all of the Adjusted Invested Capital has been returned to
the General Partner and the Limited Partners or there is a shortfall in the
distribution of the Return to the General Partner and the Limited Partners when
the Partnership's last Property has been sold and the Special Limited Partner
previously has received distributions pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(ii) or
5.02(b)(ii) (other than distributions that have previously been repaid pursuant
to Section 5.02(c)), the Special Limited Partner will be required to repay to
the Partnership whatever portion of those prior distributions is necessary to
cause a full return of Adjusted Invested Capital and a full distribution of the
Return to the General Partner and the Limited Partners. The Partnership will
distribute any repaid amounts to the General Partner and the Limited Partners in
accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. For purposes of this
Section 5.06(b), in determining whether Adjusted Invested Capital has been
returned and a full distribution of the Return has been made to the General
Partner and the Limited Partners, generally only amounts distributed pursuant to
Section 5.02(a)(i), Section 5.02(b)(i), and Section 5.06(a) will be taken into
account. However, to the extent that the Special Limited Partner turns a
distribution under Section 5.02(c) or this Section 5.06(b), the returned
distribution plus the original accompanying 85% distributions to the General
Partner and the Limited Partners will be treated as having been distributed 100%
to the General Partner and the Limited Partners in accordance with their
respective Percentage Interests pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i) or Section
5.02(b)(i). In no event will the cumulative amount repaid by the Special Limited
Partner to the Partnership pursuant to Section 5.02(c) and this Section 5.06(b)
exceed a cumulative amount of distributions that the Special Limited Partner
previously has received pursuant to Sections 5.02(a)(ii) and 5.02(b)(ii).

     Section 5.07   Substantial Economic Effect.
                    ---------------------------

     It is the intent of the Partners that the allocations of Operating Income,
Operating Loss, income, gain, loss, and expense under the Agreement have
substantial economic effect (or be consistent with the Partners' interests in
the Partnership in the case of the allocation of losses or expenses attributable
to nonrecourse debt) within the meaning of Section 704(b) of the Code
interpreted by the Regulations promulgated pursuant thereto. Article V and other
relevant provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner
consistent with such intent. Furthermore, the General Partner shall have the
right, without the consent of the Limited Partners or the Special Limited
Partner, to modify the provisions of

                                       29

<PAGE>

Section 5.01 to the extent necessary to comply with Section 704(b) of the Code
or otherwise to achieve the intended distribution of Cash Available for
Distribution, Sale Proceeds, or liquidation proceeds among the Partners.

parties, the General Partner shall not have any obligations hereunder except to
the extent that partnership funds are reasonably available to it for the

         Section 6.02  Delegation of Authority.
                       -----------------------

         The General Partner may delegate any or all of its powers, rights, and
obligations hereunder, and may appoint, employ, contract or otherwise deal with
any Person for the transaction of the business of the Partnership, which Person
may, under supervision of the General Partner, perform any acts or services for
the Partnership as the General Partner may approve.

         Section 6.03. Indemnification and Exculpation of Indemnitees.
                       ----------------------------------------------

         (a) The Partnership shall indemnify an Indemnitee from and against any
and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses
(including reasonable legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements,
and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, or
proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, that relate to
the operations of the Partnership as set forth in this Agreement in which any
Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or
otherwise, unless it is established that: (i) the act or omission of the
Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either
was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty; (ii) the Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit
in money, property, or services; or (iii) in the case of any criminal
proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or
omission was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, or
settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the
requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 6.03(a). The termination
of any proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a
rebuttable presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that
specified in this Section 6.03(a). Any indemnification pursuant to this Section
6.03 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership.

         (b)  The Partnership shall reimburse an Indemnitee for reasonable
expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding in advance of
the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a
written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee's good faith belief that
the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as
authorized in this Section 6.03 has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by
or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.

         (c)  The indemnification provided by this Section 6.03 shall be in
addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be
entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter
of law or

                                       33

<PAGE>

otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in
such capacity.

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

         (e)  For purposes of this Section 6.03, the Partnership shall be deemed
to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit
plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Partnership also
imposes duties on, or otherwise involves service by, it to the plan or
participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an
Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law
shall constitute fines within the meaning of this Section 6.03; and actions
taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in
the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in
the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed
to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the
Partnership.

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

         (g)  An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in
part under this Section 6.03 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the
transaction with respect to which a indemnification applies if the transaction
was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

         (h)  The provisions of this Section 6.03 are for the benefit of the
Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns, and administrators and shall not
be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

         Section 6.04  Liability of the General Partner.
                       --------------------------------

         (a)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement, the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages to the
Partnership or any Partners for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a
result of errors in judgment or of any act or omission if the General Partner
acted in good faith. The General Partner shall not be in breach of any duty that
the General Partner may owe to the Limited Partners or the Partnership or any
other Persons under this

                                       34

<PAGE>

Agreement or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity provided the General
Partner, acting in good faith, abides by the terms of this Agreement.

         (b)  The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the General
Partner is acting on behalf of the Partnership, the Company, and the Company's
shareholders collectively, that the General Partner is under no obligation to
consider the separate interests of the Limited Partners (including, without
limitation, the tax consequences to Limited Partners or the tax consequences of
some, but not all, of the Limited Partners) in deciding whether to cause the
Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions. In the event of a conflict
between the interests of the shareholders of the Company on one hand and the
Limited Partners on the other, the General Partner shall endeavor in good faith
to resolve the conflict in a manner not adverse to either the Company's
shareholders or the Limited Partners; provided, however, that for so long as the
                                      --------  -------
Company owns a controlling interest in the Partnership, any such conflict that
cannot resolved in a manner not adverse to either the Company's shareholders or
the Limited Partners shall be resolved in favor of the shareholders. The General
Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained,
liabilities incurred, or benefits of derived by Limited Partners in connection
with such decisions, provided that the General Partner has acted in good faith.

         (c)  Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner set forth
in Section 6.01 hereof, a General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted
to it under this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it
hereunder either directly or by or through its agents. The General Partner shall
not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such
agent appointed by it in good faith.

         (d)  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or the Act,
any action of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or any decision
of the General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the Partnership,
undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission is necessary or
advisable in order (i) to protect the ability of the Company to continue to
qualify as a REIT or (ii) to prevent the Company from incurring any taxes under
Section 857, Section 4981, or any other provision of the Code, is expressly
authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited
Partners.

         (e)  Any amendment, modification, or repeal of this Section 6.04 or any
provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the
limitations on the General Partner's liability to the Partnership and the
Limited Partners under this Section 6.04 as in effect immediately prior to such
amendment, modification, or repeal with respect to matters occurring, in whole
or in part, prior to such amendment, modification, or repeal, regardless of when
claims relating to such matters may arise or be asserted.

         Section 6.05 Reimbursement Obligations of Partnership.
                      ----------------------------------------

         The General Partner is hereby authorized to pay compensation for
accounting, administrative, legal, technical, management, and other services
rendered to the Partnership. All of the aforesaid expenditures (including
Administrative Expenses and REIT Expenses) shall be obligations of the
Partnership, and the General Partner shall be entitled to reimbursement by the
Partnership for any expenditure (including Administrative Expenses and REIT
Expenses) incurred by it on behalf of the Partnership which shall be mad other
than out of the funds of the Partnership.

         Section 6.06 Outside Activities.
                      ------------------

         Subject to Section 6.08 hereof, the Articles of Incorporation, and any
agreements entered into by the Company, the General Partner, or its Affiliates
with the Partnership or a Subsidiary, any officer, director, employee, agent,
trustee, Affiliate, or shareholder of the Company or the General Partner, the
General Partner shall be entitled to and may have business interests and engage
in business activities in addition to those relating to the Partnership,
including business interests and activities substantially similar or identical
to those of the Partnership. Neither the Partnership nor any of the Limited
Partners shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any such business
ventures, interest or activities. None of the Limited Partners nor any other
Person shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership
relationship established hereby in any such business ventures, interests, or
activities, and the General Partner shall have no obligation pursuant to this
Agreement to offer any interest in any such business ventures, interests, and
activities to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, even if such opportunity
is of a character which, if presented to the Partnership or any Limited Partner,
could be taken by such Person.

         Section 6.07 Employment or Retention of Affiliates.
                      -------------------------------------

         (a)  Any Affiliate of the Company or the General Partner may be
employed or retained by the Partnership and may otherwise deal with the
Partnership (whether as a buyer, lessor, lessee, manager, furnisher of goods or
services, broker, agent, lender, or otherwise) and may receive from the
Partnership any compensation, price, or other payment, therefor, which the
General Partner determines to be fair and reasonable.

         (b)  The Partnership may lend or contribute to its Subsidiaries or
other Persons in which it has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow
funds from the Partnership, on terms and conditions established in the sole and
absolute

                                       36

discretion of the General Partner. The foregoing authority shall not create any
right or benefit in favor of any Subsidiary or any other Person.

         (c) The Partnership may transfer assets to joint ventures, other
partnerships, corporations or other business entities in which it is or thereby
becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions as the
General Partner deems are consistent with this Agreement and applicable law.

         (d) Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, neither the
General Partner nor any of its Affiliates shall sell, transfer, or convey any
property to, or purchase any property from, the Partnership, directly or
indirectly, except pursuant to transactions that are on terms that are fair and
reasonable to the Partnership.

         Section 6.08  Title of Partnership Assets.
                       ---------------------------

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

         Section 6.09  Miscellaneous.
                       -------------

         In the event the Company redeems any REIT Shares, then the General
Partner shall cause the Partnership to purchase from the General Partner a
number of Partnership Units as determined based on the application of the
Conversion Factor on the same terms that the Company redeemed such REIT Shares.
Moreover, if the Company makes a cash tender offer or other offer to acquire
REIT Shares, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to make a
corresponding offer to the General Partner to acquire an equal number of
Partnership Units held by the General Partner. In the event any REIT Shares are
acquired by the Company pursuant to such offer, the Partnership shall redeem an
equivalent number of the General Partner's Partnership Units for an equivalent
purchase price based on the application of the Conversion Factor.

         Section 7.01  Transfer of the General Partner's Partnership Interest.
                       ------------------------------------------------------

         (a)   The General Partner shall not transfer all or any portion of its
General Partnership Interest or withdraw as General Partner except as provided
in Section 7.01(c) or in connection with a transaction described in Section
7.01(d) or (e).

         (b)   The General Partner agrees that its Percentage Interest will at
all times be in the aggregate at least 1%.

         (c)   Except as otherwise provided herein in Section 7.01(d) or (e)
hereof, the Company shall not engage in any merger, consolidation, or other
combination with or into another Person or sale of all or substantially all of
its assets, or any reclassification, or any recapitalization or change of
outstanding REIT Shares (other than a change in par value, or from par value to
no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination of REIT Shares), in
each case which results in a change of control of the Company (a "Transaction"),
unless:

               (i)  as a result of such Transaction all Limited Partners will
         receive for each Partnership Unit an amount of cash, securities, or
         other property equal to the product of the Conversion Factor and the
         greatest amount of cash, securities, or other property paid in the
         Transaction to a holder of one REIT Share in consideration of on REIT
         Share, provided that if, in connection with the Transaction, a
         purchase, tender, or exchange offer ("Offer") shall have been made to
         and accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding REIT
         Shares, each holder of Partnership Units shall be given the option to
         exchange its Partnership Units for the greatest amount of cash,
         securities, or other property which a Limited Partner would have
         received had it (A) exercised its Redemption Right and (B) sold,
         tendered, or exchanged pursuant to the Offer the REIT Shares received
         upon exercise of the Redemption Right immediately prior to the
         expiration of the Offer; or

               (ii) the Company is the surviving entity in the Transaction
         and either the holders of REIT Shares do not receive cash, securities,
         or other property in the Transaction or (B) all Limited Partners (other
         than the General Partner or an Affiliate of the General Partner)
         receive an amount of cash, securities, or other property (expressed as
         an amount per REIT Share) that is no less than the product of
         Conversion Factor and the greatest amount of cash, securities, or other
         property (expressed as an amount per REIT Share) received in the
         Transaction by any, holder of REIT Shares.

<PAGE>

         (d)   Notwithstanding Section 7.01(c), the Company may merge with or
into or consolidate with another entity if immediately after such merger or
consolidation (i) substantially all of the assets of the successor or surviving
entity, including any wholly owned Subsidiary of such entity (collectively, the
"Survivor"), other than Partnership Units or the stock of any wholly owned
Subsidiary, are contributed, directly or indirectly, to the Partnership as a
Capital Contribution in exchange for Partnership Units with a fair market value
equal to the value of the assets so contributed as determined by the Survivor in
good faith and (ii) the Survivor expressly agrees to assume all obligations of
the Company, as appropriate, hereunder. Upon such contribution and assumption,
the Survivor shall have the right and duty to amend this Agreement as set forth
in this Section 7.01(d). The Survivor shall in good faith arrive at a new method
for the calculation of the Cash Amount, the REIT Shares Amount, and Conversion
Factor for a Partnership Unit after any such merger or consolidation so as to
approximate the existing method for such calculation as closely as reasonably
possible. Such calculation shall take into account, among other things, the kind
and amount of securities, cash, and other property that was receivable upon such
merger or consolidation by a holder of REIT Shares or options, warrants, or
other rights relating thereto, and to which a holder of Partnership Units could
have acquired had such Partnership Units been redeemed immediately prior to such
merger or consolidation. Such amendment to this Agreement shall provide for
adjustment to such method of calculation, which shall be as nearly equivalent as
may be practicable to the adjustments provided for with respect to the
Conversion Factor. The Survivor also shall in good faith modify the definition
of REIT Shares and make such amendments to Section 8.05 hereof so as to
approximate the existing rights and obligations set forth in Section 8.05 as
closely as reasonably possible. The above provisions of this Section 7.01(d)
shall similarly apply to successive mergers or consolidations permitted
hereunder.

         (e)   Notwithstanding Section 7.01(c),

               (i)  a General Partner (including the Company) may transfer all
         or any portion of its General Partnership Interest to (A) a wholly
         owned Subsidiary of such General Partner or (B) the owner of all of the
         ownership interests of such General Partner, and following a transfer
         of all of its General Partnership Interest, withdraw as General
         Partner; and

               (ii) the Company may engage in any transaction not required by
         law or by the rules of any national securities exchange on which the
         REIT Shares are listed to be submitted to the vote of the holders of
         the REIT Shares.

         Section 7.02  Admission of a Substitute or Additional General Partner.
                       -------------------------------------------------------

         A Person shall be admitted as a substitute or additional General
Partner of the Partnership only if the following terms and conditions are
satisfied:

                                       39

<PAGE>

         (a) Except where the admission of a substitute or additional General
Partner is expressly authorized in Section 7.01, a majority in interest of the
Limited Partners (other than the General Partner) must consent in writing to the
admission of the substitute or additional General Partner, which consent may be
withheld in the sole discretion of such Limited Partners;

         (b) The Person to be admitted as a substitute or additional General
Partner shall have accepted and agreed to be bound by all the terms and
provisions of this Agreement by executing a counterpart thereof and such other
documents or instruments as may be required or appropriate in order to effect
the admission of such Person as a General Partner, and a certificate evidencing
the admission of such Person as a General Partner shall have been filed for
recordation and all other actions required by Section 2.05 hereof in connection
with such admission shall have been performed;

         (c) If the Person to be admitted as a substitute or additional General
Partner is a corporation or a partnership it shall have provided the Partnership
with evidence satisfactory to counsel for the Partnership of such Person's
authority to become a General Partner and to be bound by the terms and
provisions of this Agreement; and

         (d) Counsel for the Partnership shall have rendered an opinion (relying
on such opinion from other counsel and the state or any other jurisdiction as
may be necessary) that the admission of the Person to be admitted as a
substitute or additional General Partner is in conformity with the Act, that
none of the actions taken in connection with the admission of such Person as a
substitute or additional General Partner will cause (i) the Partnership to be
classified other than as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, or (ii)
the loss of any Limited Partner's limited liability.

         Section 7.03  Effect of Bankruptcy, Withdrawal, Death or Dissolution of
                       ---------------------------------------------------------
a General Partner.
------------------

         (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to a General
Partner (and its removal pursuant to Section 7.04(a) hereof) or the death,
withdrawal, removal, or dissolution of a General Partner (except that, if a
General Partner is on the date of such occurrence a partnership, the withdrawal,
death, dissolution, Event of Bankruptcy as to, or removal of a partner in, such
partnership shall be deemed not to be a dissolution of such General Partner if
the business of such General Partner is continued by the remaining partner or
partners), the Partnership shall be dissolved and terminated unless the
Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 7.03(b) hereof.

                                       40

         (b) Following the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to a General
Partner (and its removal pursuant to Section 7.04(a) hereof) or the death,
withdrawal, removal, or dissolution of a General Partner (except that, if a
General Partner is on the date of such occurrence a partnership, the withdrawal,
death, dissolution, Event of Bankruptcy to, or removal of a partner in, such
partnership shall be deemed not to be a dissolution of such General Partner if
the business of such General Partner is continued by the remaining partner or
partners), the Limited Partners, within 90 days after such occurrence, may elect
to reconstitute the Partnership and continue the business of the Partnership for
the balance of the term specified in Section 2.04 hereof by selecting, subject
to Section 7.02 hereof and any other provisions of this Agreement, a substitute
General Partner by unanimous consent of the Limited Partners. If the Limited
Partners elect to reconstitute the Partnership and admit a substitute General
Partner, the relationship with the Partners and of any Person who has acquired
an interest of a Partner in the Partnership shall be governed by this Agreement.

         Section 7.04    Removal of a General Partner.
                         ----------------------------

         (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to, or the
dissolution of, a General Partner, such General Partner shall be deemed to be
removed automatically; provided, however, that if a General Partner is on the
                       --------  -------
date of such occurrence a partnership, the withdrawal, death, dissolution, Event
of Bankruptcy as to, or removal of a partner in, such partnership shall be
deemed not to be a dissolution of the General Partner if the business of such
General Partner is continued by the remaining partner or partners. The Limited
Partners may not otherwise remove the General Partner, with or without cause.

         (b) If a General Partner has been removed pursuant to this Section 7.04
and the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 7.03(b) hereof, such
General Partner shall promptly transfer and assign its General Partnership
Interest in the Partnership to the substitute General Partner approved by a
majority in interest of the Limited Partners in accordance with Section 7.03(b)
hereof and otherwise admitted to the Partnership in accordance with Section 7.02
hereof. At the time of assignment, the removed General Partner shall be entitled
to receive from the substitute General Partner the fair market value of the
General Partnership Interest of such removed General Partner as reduced by any
damages caused to the Partnership by such General Partner. Such fair market
value shall be determined by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the General
Partner and a majority in interest of the Limited Partners within ten (10) days
following the removal of the General Partner. In a event that the parties are
unable to agree upon an appraiser, the removed General Partner and a majority in
interest of the Limited Partners each shall select an appraiser. Each such
appraiser shall complete an appraisal of the fair market value of the removed
General Partner's General Partnership Interest within thirty (30) days of the
General Partner's removal, and the fair

                                       41

<PAGE>

market value of the removed General Partner's General Partnership Interest shall
be the average of the two appraisals; provided, however, that if the higher
                                      --------  -------
appraisal exceeds the lower appraisal by more than 20% of the amount of the
lower appraisal, the two appraisers, no later than forty (40) days after the
removal of the General Partner, shall select a third appraiser who shall
complete an appraisal of the fair market value of the removed General Partner's
General Partnership Interest no later than sixty (60) days after the removal of
the General Partner. In such case, the fair market value of the removed General
Partner's General Partnership Interest shall be the average of the two
appraisals closest in value.

         (c) The General Partnership Interest of a removed General Partner,
during the time after default until transfer under Section 7.04(b), shall be
converted to that of a special Limited Partner; provided, however, such removed
                                                --------  -------
General Partner shall not have any rights to participate in the management and
affairs of the Partnership, and shall not be entitled to any portion of the
income, expense, profit, gain, or loss allocations or cash distributions
allocable or payable, as the case may be, to the Limited Partners. Instead, such
removed General Partner shall receive and be entitled only to retain
distributions or allocations of such items that it would have been entitled to
receive in its capacity as General Partner, until a transfer is effective
pursuant to Section 7.04(b).

         (d) All Partners shall have given and hereby do give such consents,
shall take such actions, and shall execute such documents as shall be legally
necessary and sufficient to effect all the foregoing provisions of this Section.

         Section 7.05  Option to Acquire Incentive Limited Partnership Interest.
                       --------------------------------------------------------

         The General Partner shall have the option to acquire the Incentive
Limited Partnership interest upon the listing of the REIT Shares on a stock
exchange. The purchase price for the Incentive Limited Partnership Interest
shall be payable in REIT Shares or Limited Partnership Interests, at the
election of the Special Limited Partner, except that the Special Limited Partner
shall not be permitted to elect to receive REIT Shares to the extent that doing
so would cause the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT. The purchase price for
the Incentive Limited Partnership Interest shall equal the amount of the
distribution that the Special Limited Partner would receive pursuant to Section
5.02(a)(ii) and Section 5.02(b)(ii) hereof if the Partnership were immediately
to sell all of its Properties for their market value.

         Section 8.01  Management of the Partnership.
                       -----------------------------

         The Limited Partners shall not participate in the management or control
of Partnership business nor shall they transact any business for the
Partnership, nor shall they have the power to sign for or bind the Partnership,
such powers being vested solely and exclusively in the General Partner.

         Section 8.02  Power of Attorney.
                       -----------------

         Each Limited Partner hereby irrevocably appoints the General Partner
its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, who may act for each Limited Partner and
in its name, place, and stead, and for its use and benefit, to sign,
acknowledge, swear to, deliver, file and record at the appropriate public
offices, any and all documents, certificates, and instruments as may be deemed
necessary or desirable by the General Partner to carry out fully the provisions
of this Agreement and the Act in accordance with their terms, which power of
attorney is coupled with an interest and shall survive the death, dissolution,
or legal incapacity of the Limited Partner, or the transfer by the Limited
Partner of any part or all of its Partnership Interest.

         Section 8.03  Limitation of Liability of Limited Partners.
                       -------------------------------------------

         No Limited Partner shall be liable for any debts, liabilities,
contracts, or obligations of the Partnership. A Limited Partner shall be liable
to the Partnership only to make payments of its Capital Contribution, if any, as
and when due hereunder. After its Capital Contribution is fully paid, no Limited
Partner shall, except as otherwise required by the Act, be required to make any
further Capital Contributions or other payments or lend any funds to the
Partnership.

         Section 8.04  [Reserved].

         Section 8.05  Redemption Right.
                       ----------------

         (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.05 and the terms of any
agreements between the Partnership and one or more Limited Partners, each
Limited Partner (other than the Special Limited Partner, the Company, the
General Partner, or any wholly owned Subsidiaries of the Company or the General
Partner) shall have the right (the "Redemption Right") to require the
Partnership to redeem on the Specified Redemption Date all or a portion of the
Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner at a redemption price equal to
and in the form of the Cash Amount to be paid by the Partnership. The Redemption
Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the
Partnership (with a

                                       43

<PAGE>

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
General Partner elects to purchase the Partnership Units subject to the Notice
of Redemption pursuant to Section 8.05(b); and provided, further, that no
                                               --------  -------
Limited Partner may deliver more than two Notices of Redemption during each
calendar year. A Limited Partner may not exercise the Redemption Right for less
than 1,000 Partnership Units or, if such Limited Partner holds less than 1,000
Partnership Units, all of the Partnership Units held by such Partner. The
Redeeming Partner shall have no right, with respect to any Partnership Units so
redeemed, to receive any distribution paid with respect to Partnership Units if
the Partnership Record Date for such distribution is on or after the Specified
Redemption Date.

         (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.05(a), a Limited
Partner that exercises the Redemption Right shall be deemed to have offered to
sell the Partnership Units described in the Notice of Redemption to the General
Partner, and the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect
to purchase directly and acquire such Partnership Units by paying to the
Redeeming Partner either the Cash Amount or the REIT Shares Amount, as elected
by the General Partner (in its sole and absolute discretion), on the Specified
Redemption Date, whereupon the General Partner shall acquire the Partnership
Units offered for redemption by the redeeming Partner and shall be treated for
all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such Partnership Units. If the
General Partner shall elect to exercise its right to purchase Partnership Units
under this Section 8.05(b) with respect to a Notice of Redemption, it shall so
notify the Redeeming Partner within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt by
the General Partner of such Notice of Redemption. Unless the General Partner (in
its sole and absolute discretion) shall exercise its right to purchase
Partnership Units from the Redeeming Partner pursuant to this Section 8.05(b),
the General Partner shall have no obligation to the Redeeming Partner or the
Partnership with respect to the Redeeming Partner's exercise of the Redemption
Right. In the event the General Partner shall exercise its right to purchase
Partnership Units with respect to the exercise of a Redemption Right in the
manner described in the first sentence of this Section 8.05(b), the Partnership
shall have no obligation to pay any amount to the Redeeming Partner with respect
to such Redeeming Partner's exercise of such Redemption Right, and each of the
Redeeming Partner, the Partnership, and the General Partner, as the case may be,
shall treat the transaction between the General Partner and the Redeeming
Partner for federal income tax purposes as a sale of the Redeeming Partner's
Partnership Units to the General Partner. Each Redeeming Partner agrees to
execute such documents as the General Partner may reasonably require in
connection with the issuance of REIT Shares upon exercise of the Redemption
Right. If the Redeeming Partner receives REIT Shares, the Redeeming Partner
shall have the right to receive any dividend or other

                                       44

<PAGE>

distribution paid with respect to REIT Shares if the record date for such
dividend or distribution is on or after the Specified Redemption Date.

         (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.05(a) and 8.05(b), a
Limited Partner shall not be entitled to exercise the Redemption Right if the
delivery of REIT Shares to such Partner on the Specified Redemption Date by the
General Partner pursuant to Section 8.05(b) (regardless of whether the General
Partner would in fact exercise its rights under Section 8.05(b)) would (i)
result in such Partner or any other person owning, directly or indirectly, REIT
Shares in excess of the Ownership Limitation (as defined in the Articles of
Incorporation) and calculated in accordance therewith, except as provided in the
Articles of Incorporation, (ii) result in REIT Shares being owned by fewer than
100 persons (determined without reference to an rules of attribution), (iii)
result in the Company being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h)
of the Code, (iv) otherwise jeopardize the Company's status as a REIT, or (iv)
cause the acquisition of REIT Shares by such Partner to be "integrated" with any
other distribution of REIT Shares for purposes of complying with the
registration provisions of the Securities Act. The General Partner, in its sole
discretion, may waive the restriction on redemption set forth in this Section
8.05(c); provided, however, that in the event such restriction is waived, the
         --------  -------
Redeeming Partner shall be paid the Cash Amount.

         (d) Any Cash Amount to be paid to a Redeeming Partner pursuant to this
Section 8.05 shall be paid on the Specified Redemption Date; provided, however,
                                                             --------  -------
the General Partner may elect to cause the Specified Redemption Date to be
delayed for up to an additional 180 days to the extent required for the Company
to cause additional REIT Shares to be issued to provide financing to be used to
make such payment of the Cash Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General
Partner agrees to use its best efforts to cause the closing of the acquisition
of redeemed Partnership Units hereunder to occur as quickly as reasonably
possible.

         (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General
Partner is authorized to take any action that it determines to be necessary or
appropriate to cause the Partnership to comply with any withholding requirements
established under the Code or any other federal, state, or local law that apply
upon a Redeeming Partner's exercise of the Redemption Right. If a Redeeming
Partner believes that it is exempt from such withholding upon a exercise of the
Redemption Right, such Partner must furnish the General Partner with a FIRPTA
Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. If the Partnership or the
General Partner is required to withhold and pay over to any taxing authority any
amount upon a Redeeming Partner's exercise of the Redemption Right and if the
Redemption Amount equals or exceeds the Withheld Amount, the Withheld Amount
shall be treated as an amount received by such Partner in redemption of its
Partnership Units. If, however, the Redemption Amount is less than the Withheld
Amount, the Redeeming Partner shall not receive any portion of the Redemption
Amount, the

                                       45

<PAGE>

Redemption Amount shall be treated as an amount received by such Partner in
redemption of its Partnership Units, and the Partner shall contribute the excess
of the Withheld Amount over the Redemption Amount to the Partnership before the
Partnership is required to pay over such excess to a taxing authority.

         (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General
Partner shall place appropriate restrictions on the ability of the Limited
Partners to exercise their Redemption Rights as and if deemed necessary to
ensure that the Partnership does not constitute a "publicly traded partnership"
that is taxed as a corporation under Section 7704 of the Code. If and when the
General Partner determines that imposing such restrictions is necessary, the
General Partner shall give prompt written notice thereof (a "Restriction
Notice") to each of the Limited Partners, which notice shall be accompanied by a
copy of an opinion of counsel to the Partnership which states that, in the
opinion of such counsel, restrictions are necessary in order to avoid the
Partnership being treated as a "publicly traded partnership" that is taxed as a
corporation under Section 7704 of the Code.

such Registration Statement and have it

                   ------------------------------------------

         Section 9.01 Purchase for Investment.
                      -----------------------

         (a) Each Limited Partner hereby represents and warrants to the General
Partner and to the Partnership that the acquisition of his Partnership Interests
is made as a principal for his account for investment purposes only and not with
a view to the resale or distribution of such Partnership Interest.

         (b) Each Limited Partner agrees that he will not sell, assign, or
otherwise transfer his Partnership Interest or any fraction thereof, whether
voluntarily or by operation of law, or at judicial sale or otherwise, to any
Person who does not make the representations and warranties to the General
Partner set forth in Section 9.01(a) above and similarly agree not to sell,
assign, or transfer such Partnership Interest or fraction thereof to any Person
who does not similarly represent, warrant, and agree.

         Section 9.02 Restrictions on Transfer of Limited Partnership Interests.
                      ---------------------------------------------------------

         (a) Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, no Limited Partner
may offer, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge, or otherwise transfer all or any
portion of his Limited Partnership Interest, or any of such Limited Partner's
economic rights as a Limited Partner, whether voluntarily or by operation of law
or at judicial sale or otherwise (collectively, a "Transfer") without the
consent of the General Partner, which consent may be granted or withheld in its
sole an absolute discretion. Any such purported transfer undertaken without such
consent shall considered to be null and void ab initio and shall not be given
                                             -- ------
effect. Each Limited Partner acknowledges that the General Partner has agreed
not to grant any such consent

                                       47

<PAGE>

prior to the Transfer Restriction Date. The General Partner may require, as a
condition of any Transfer to which it consents, that the transferor assume all
costs incurred by the Partnership in connection therewith.

         (b) No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as
a result of a permitted Transfer (i.e., a Transfer consented to as contemplated
by clause (a) above or clause (c) below or a Transfer pursuant to Section 9.05
below) of all of his Partnership Units pursuant to this Article IX or pursuant
to a redemption of all of his Partnership Units pursuant to Section 8.05. Upon
the permitted Transfer or redemption of all of a Limited Partner's Partnership
Units, such Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner.

         (c) Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, a Limited Partner may
Transfer, with the consent of the General Partner, all or a portion of his
Partnership Units to (i) a parent or parent's spouse, natural or adopted
descendant or descendants, spouse of such descendant, or brother or sister, or a
trust created by such Limited Partner for the benefit of such Limited Partner
and/or any such person(s), of which trust such Limited Partner or any such
person(s) is a trustee, (ii) a corporation controlled by a Person or Persons
named in clause (i) above, or (ii) if the Limited Partner is an entity, its
beneficial owners or one or more of its Affiliates.

         (d) No Limited Partner may effect a Transfer of its Limited Partnership
Interest, in whole or in part, if, in the opinion of legal counsel for the
Partnership, such proposed Transfer would require the registration of the
Limited Partnership Interest under the Securities Act, or would otherwise
violate any applicable federal or state securities or blue sky law (including
investment suitability standards).

         (e) No Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units, in whole
or in part, may be made to any Person if (i) in the opinion of legal counsel for
the Partnership, the transfer would result in the Partnership being treated as
an association taxable as corporation (other than a qualified REIT subsidiary
within the meaning of Section 856(i) of the Code), (ii) in the opinion of legal
counsel for the Partnership, it would adversely affect the ability of the
Company to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject the Company to any taxes
under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, or (iii) such transfer is
effectuated through an "established securities market" or a "secondary market
(or the substantial equivalent thereof)" within a meaning of Section 7704 of the
Code.

         (f) No transfer of any Partnership Units may be made to a lender to the
Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Regulations
Section 1.752-4(b)) to any lender the Partnership whose loan constitutes a
nonrecourse liability (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-1(a)(2)),
without the consent of the General Partner, which may be withheld in its sole
and

                                       48

<PAGE>

absolute discretion; provided, however, that as a condition to such consent,
                     --------  -------
the lender may be required to enter into an arrangement with the Partnership and
the General Partner to exchange or redeem for the Cash Amount any Partnership
Units which a security interest is held simultaneously with the time at which
such lender would deemed to be a partner in the Partnership for purposes of
allocating liabilities to such lender under Section 752 of the Code.

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

         (h) Prior to the consummation of any Transfer under this Article IX,
the transferor and/or a transferee shall deliver to the General Partner such
opinions, certificates, and other documents as the General Partner shall request
in connection with such Transfer.

         documents or instruments as the General Partner may require in order to
         effect the admission of such Person as a Limited Partner.

             (ii)  To the extent required, an amended Certificate evidencing the
         admission of such Person as a Limited Partner shall have been signed,
         acknowledged, and filed for record in accordance with the Act.

             (iii) The assignee shall have delivered a letter containing the
         representation set forth in Section 9.01(a) hereof and the agreement
         set forth in Section 9.01(b) hereof.

             (iv)  If the assignee is a corporation, partnership, or trust, the

               (vii) The assignee has obtained the prior written consent of
         the General Partner to its admission as a Substitute Limited Partner,
         which consent may be given or denied in the exercise of the General
         Partner's sole and absolute discretion.

         (b)   For the purpose of allocating Operating Income and distributing
cash received by the Partnership, a Substitute Limited Partner shall be treated
as having become, and appearing in the records of the Partnership as, a Partner
upon the filing of the Certificate described in Section 9.03(a)(ii) hereof or,
if no such filing is required, the later of the date specified in the transfer
documents or the date on which the General Partner has received all necessary
instruments of transfer and substitution.

         (c)   The General Partner shall cooperate with the Person seeking to
become a Substitute Limited Partner by preparing the documentation required by
this section and making all official filings and publications. The Partnership
shall take all such action as promptly as practicable after the satisfaction of
the conditions in this Article IX to the admission of such Person as a Limited
Partner of the Partnership.

                          --------------------------------------------

         (a)   Subject to the provisions of Sections 9.01 and 9.02 hereof,

Partner's Limited Partnership Interest, but does not become a Substitute Limited
Partner and desires to make a further assignment of such Limited Partnership
Interest, shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article IX to the same
extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an
assignment of its Limited Partnership Interest.

                          ---------------------------------------------
Termination of a Limited Partner.
--------------------------------

         The occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to a Limited Partner, the
death of a Limited Partner, or a final adjudication that a Limited Partner is
incompetent (which term shall include, but not be limited to, insanity) shall
not cause the termination or dissolution of the Partnership, and the business of
the Partnership shall continue if an order for relief in a bankruptcy proceeding
is entered against a Limited Partner, the trustee or receiver of his estate or,
if he dies, his executor, administrator, or trustee, or, if he is finally
adjudicated incompetent, his committee, guardian, or conservator, shall have the
rights of such Limited Partner for the purpose of settling or managing his
estate property and such power as the bankrupt, deceased, or incompetent Limited

         Section 9.06     Joint Ownership of Interests.
                          ----------------------------

         A Partnership Interest may be acquired by two individuals as joint
tenants with the right of survivorship, provided that such individuals either
are married or are related and share the same home as tenants in common. The
written consent or vote of both owners of any such jointly held Partnership
Interest shall be required to constitute the action of the owners of such
Partnership Interest; provided, however, that the written consent of only one
                      --------  -------
joint owner will be required if the Partnership has been provided with evidence
satisfactory to the counsel for the Partnership that the actions of a single
joint owner can bind both owners under the applicable laws of the state of
residence of such joint owners. Upon the death of one owner of a Partnership
Interest held in a joint tenancy with a right of survivorship, the Partnership
Interest shall become owned solely by the survivor as a Limited Partner and not
as an assignee. The Partnership need not recognize the death of one of the
owners of a jointly held Partnership Interest until it shall have received
notice of such death. Upon notice to the General Partner from either owner, the
General Partner shall cause the Partnership Interest to be divided into two
equal Partnership Interests, which shall thereafter be owned separately by each
of the former owners.

temporary disability, or other reasons shall not be deemed interruptions of
continuous service as an Independent Director.

such requirements as the Board shall determine. An Option granted under this

Option shall not affect the right to exercise the Option from time to time in
accordance with this Plan and the applicable Agreement with respect to the
remaining shares subject to the Option.

of grant, and for an additional one-third of such shares on each of the first
and second anniversaries of the date of grant.

         (c)  Options granted after the commencement of the Offering will become

the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, the Participant or the
Participant's successor in interest (in the event of death) may exercise
Participant's Option or Options for all or part of the shares subject

termination of service or, if sooner, during the period prior to the stated
expiration date of the Option or Options.

         (e)  If a Participant ceases to be an Independent Director for any
reason other than death or "permanent and total disability," within the meaning

                                   ARTICLE VI
                     ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGE IN COMMON STOCK

         The maximum number of shares as to which Options may be granted; and
the terms of outstanding Options, including the Option Price and the kind of
shares subject to the Options shall be adjusted as the Board shall determine to
be equitably required (i) in the event that the Company (a) effects one or more
stock dividends, stock split-ups, subdivisions or consolidations of shares or
(b) engages in a transaction to which Section 424 of the Code applies and in
which the Company is the surviving entity, or (ii) there occurs any other event
which, in the judgment of the Board necessitates such action. Any determination
made by the Board under this Article VI is subject to approval by a majority of
the Independent Directors and, if such approval is obtained, shall be final and
conclusive.

         This Plan shall terminate and any outstanding Options will be forfeited
(i) in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (ii) in the
event the Company engages in a transaction to which Section 424 of the Code
applies and in which the Company is not the surviving entity; or (iii) upon the
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in connection with or in contemplation of any of the events
described in the preceding sentence, the Board may provide in writing for any of
the following alternatives to termination of the Plan and forfeiture of
outstanding Options, separately or in combination: (i) the assumption by the
successor corporation of outstanding Options or the substitution by such
corporation for such Options of options covering the stock of the successor
corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as
to the number and kind of shares and option prices; (ii) the continuation of the
Plan by such successor corporation, in which event the Plan will continue in the
manner and under the terms so provided by the Board; or (iii) a payment in cash
or shares of Common Stock or other securities in lieu of and in complete
satisfaction of outstanding Options. Any action taken by the Board under this
paragraph is subject to approval by a majority of the Independent Directors and,
if such approval is obtained, shall be final and conclusive.

         The issuance by the Company of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into stock of any class, for cash or property, or for labor or
services, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to
subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of stock or obligations of the Company
convertible into such stock or other securities, shall not affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the maximum number
of shares as to which Options may be granted or the terms of outstanding
Options.

                       COMPLIANCE WITH LAW AND APPROVAL OF
                 REGULATORY BODIES AND ASSURANCE OF REIT STATUS

         No Option shall be exercisable, no shares of Common Stock shall be
issued, no certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be delivered, and no
payment shall be made under this Plan (i) except in compliance with (a) all
applicable federal and state laws and regulations (including, without
limitation, withholding tax requirements), (b) any listing agreement to which
the Company is a party, and (c) the rules of all domestic stock exchanges on
which the Company's shares may be listed and (ii) only if such exercise or
issuance of Common Stock or delivery of certificates will not jeopardize the
Company's status as a real estate investment trust under the Code. The Company
shall have the right to rely on an opinion of its counsel as to such compliance
and assurance of real estate investment trust status. Any stock certificate
issued to evidence shares of Common Stock for which an Option is exercised may
bear such legends and statements as the Board may deem advisable to assure
compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. No Option shall be
exercisable, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued, no certificate for
shares of Common Stock shall be delivered, and no payment shall be made under
this Plan until the Company has obtained such consent or approval as the Board
may deem advisable from regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such matters.

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

8.01.    Effect on Service

         Neither the adoption of this Plan, its operation, nor any documents
describing or referring to this Plan (or any part thereof), shall confer upon
any Participant any right to continue in service as a member of the Board.

8.02.    Unfunded Plan

         The Plan, insofar as it provides for grants, shall be unfunded, and the

represented by grants under this Plan. Any liability of the Company to any
person with respect to any grant under this Plan shall be based solely upon any
contractual obligations that may be created pursuant to this Plan. No such
obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or
other encumbrance on, any property of the Company.
