distribution represents (in full or in part) a distribution of depreciation
or any other non-cash item accounted for as a loss or deduction from or
offset to the Partnership's income, and that no Limited Partner shall be
obligated to pay any such amount to or for the account of the Partnership
or any creditor of the Partnership. However, if any court of competent
Jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement,

their best efforts to cause JMB to comply in all respects with the terms of

and limited to Partnership assets, and no Limited Partner shall have
personal liability on account thereof.
