ARTICLE II
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS, LOANS AND PARTNERSHIP ACCOUNTS
2.1 Initial Contributions
(a) Prior to or simultaneous with the execution hereof, each
Partner has contributed cash or other property in the value set forth opposite
the name of such Partner as follows:
General Partner Amount of Contribution
Rose Hollow Crossing, Inc.
Limited Partners
Xxxxxx X. Toll
Xxxxx X. Toll
(b) No interest shall be paid on any initial or additional capital
contribution made by any Partner to the Partnership pursuant to this Article.
2.2 Additional Capital Contributions. The General Partner may (but
shall not be obligated to, as further provided in Section 5.6) from time to time
call upon the Partners for an additional capital contribution to the Partnership
if he determines that it is necessary or desirable in order to carry out the
Partnership business, whether for costs associated with the construction of
improvements, the payment of interest and principal on any indebtedness whether
or not secured by Partnership property, losses from operation of the Partnership
business, general working capital expenses or otherwise. Each Partner agrees to
contribute to the Partnership within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of
any such call from the General Partner an amount equal to the product of his
Percentage Interest (as defined in Section 3.1) multiplied by the amount of such
additional capital contribution required by the Partnership and shall be
severally liable therefor, subject to the terms of Sections 2.3 and 2.4,
provided however, that in no event may the General Partner call upon the
Partners to contribute additional capital contributions under this Section which
are more than one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the amount of their
initial capital contributions.
-3-
2.3 Failure to Make Additional Contributions.
(a) If any Partner (the "Defaulting Partner") does not contribute
to the Partnership his proportionate share of the additional capital
contribution within the time limit provided for in Section 2.2, the other
Partners may (but shall not be required to) subscribe thereto in such
proportions as may be agreed upon by them. If such an agreement cannot be
reached, then each Partner shall have the right, by giving notice thereof to the
other Partners during the next ten (10) day period, to subscribe to all or any
part of that proportion of the Defaulting Partner's share as the share of the
additional capital contribution owed by him bears to the total shares owed by
all of the Partners other than the Defaulting Partner. If the Partners elect to
purchase less than all of the share of the Defaulting Partner, then each Partner
who elected to purchase the maximum proportion of the Defaulting Partner's share
permissible pursuant to the preceding sentence shall have the further right, by
giving written notice thereof to all the Partners during the next ten (10) day
period, to subscribe to all or any part of the share of the Defaulting Partner
not theretofore purchased. If the portion of the share designated for purchase
by the Partners pursuant to the preceding sentence is greater than the portion
of the share not purchased, then each Partner who elected to subscribe to a
portion of the Defaulting Partner's share pursuant hereto shall be deemed to
have subscribed to that proportion of the share not theretofore subscribed to as
the portion of the share he designated for subscription bears to the aggregate
share designated for subscription by all Partners pursuant to the preceding
sentence. If the Partners shall so subscribe to the Defaulting Partner's share,
the Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Partner shall thereafter be reduced
and the Percentage interest of the subscribing Partners shall thereafter be
increased in the following manner: The Percentage Interest of each Partner shall
be the percentage that the initial and additional capital contributed by the
Partner bears to the total initial and additional capital contributed by all of
the Partners to the Partnership.
-4-
(b) If the Defaulting Partner's proportionate share of the
additional capital contribution is not fully subscribed pursuant to subsection
(a) above, the other Partners may (but shall not be required to) lend the
Partnership the amount required in such proportions as they may agree upon as
among themselves. Such loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is 4%
above the large borrower prime rate at First Pennsylvania Bank N.A. for its most
creditworthy borrowers, or such lesser rate as may then be the maximum legal
rate of interest the loan may bear, which interest rate shall fluctuate from
time to time as changes in such prime rate of interest occur. The loan, together
with interest and any reasonable casts incurred by the Partners making such loan
in collecting the sum due, may be repaid by the Defaulting Partner directly or
in the manner set forth in subsection (c), below, and if not sooner paid in full
directly by the Defaulting Partner or pursuant to the provisions of said
subsection (c) be due and payable as provided in Section 2.4 (but may be prepaid
at any time without penalty). Any partial payments, including payments pursuant
to subsection (c), below, shall be applied first to such costs of collection,
then to interest at the rate hereinbefore stated and then to principal.
(c) If the Partnership makes any distribution while (i) there is a
balance due under a loan made on account of the Defaulting Partner pursuant to
subsection (b), above, or (ii) no such loan has been made and the General
Partner is entitled to sell the Defaulting Partner's interest in the Partnership
pursuant to Section 2.4 but has not yet done so, the Partnership shall, in the
case of such loan, pay to the Partners who made the loan the sums which
otherwise would be distributed to the Defaulting Partner up to the full balance
due to them under this Section, and in the case of no loan, retain and credit
such sums against the unpaid amount of the Defaulting Partner's share of the
additional contribution to the Partnership.
-5-
(d) Each Partner hereby pledges to the other Partners and grants to
them a security interest in his entire interest in the Partnership as security
for the punctual payment of the principal and interest on, and the reasonable
costs of collection of, any loan made to the Partnership pursuant to this
Section if such Partner becomes a Defaulting Partner. At the time of making any
such loan, the Defaulting Partner shall deliver to the Partners making the loan
properly executed financing statements evidencing the pledging of, and granting
of a security interest in, his interest in the Partnership in form satisfactory
for filing in such states as may be required. In addition, from time to time
while the loan is outstanding, the Defaulting Partner shall execute such further
documents to evidence the pledge and security interest as the Partners making
the loan may reasonably request. If the Defaulting Partner fails to deliver to
the Partners making the loan the financing statements and other documents hereby
required, any Partner making the loan is hereby granted the irrevocable power
and authority, as attorney in-fact, to execute any such financing statements or
documents on behalf of the Defaulting Partner.
(e) Time is of the essence with respect to all time limits
specified in Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4.
-6-
2.4 Sale of Interest of Defaulting Partner.
(a) If (i) any loan made pursuant to Section 2.3 has not been
repaid (with interest thereon and the reasonable costs incurred in collecting
the same) within one year from the date of such loan, or (ii) there is a
Defaulting Partner whose share of the additional capital contribution is not
fully subscribed to by the other Partners pursuant to Section 2.3 and on account
of whom no such loan has been made, the Partners making the loan, or in the
event of no loan, the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may (but
shall not be obligated to) sell the Partnership interest of such Defaulting
Partner (which in the case of a loan pursuant to Section 2.3 shall be pledged by
the Defaulting Partner) pursuant to the provisions of the Uniform Commercial
Code of the State of Pennsylvania, at public or private sale, after giving to
the Defaulting Partner not less than ten (10) days notice of the time, terms and
place of sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Defaulting Partner may at any
time prior to such sale, in the case of such a loan, tender to the Partners
making the loan all sums loaned pursuant to Section 2.3 (together with accrued
interest thereon and all costs and expenses incurred by the Partners making the
loan in connection with the default and sale) or in the case of no loan, tender
to the Partnership the unpaid amount of his proportionate share of the
additional capital contribution (together with all costs and expenses incurred
in connection with the default and sale) and in such event the sale shall be
cancelled.
(b) Any Partner (except the Defaulting Partner), including the
Partners making the loan, may be the purchaser at such sale.
(c) The proceeds of such sale shall be applied first to the
expenses of sale (including reasonable attorney's fees), second either to
repayment of said loan, if any, with interest and any other reasonable costs
incurred by the Partners making the loan in the collection thereof, or to any
remaining unpaid amount of the Defaulting Partner's share of the additional
capital contribution plus reasonable costs in the collection thereof. Any
balance then remaining shall be paid to the Defaulting Partner.
-7-
(d) Each Defaulting Partner hereby constitutes and appoints any
Partner who makes loans on his behalf pursuant to Section 2.3, or anyone
designated by such Partner, or in the case of no loan, the General Partner or
the designee of the General Partner, as his agent and attorney-in-fact for the
purpose of conducting such sale and for the purpose of executing any and all
documents necessary to convey to the purchaser at such sale all of his right,
title and interest in the Partnership, thereby divesting such Partner of all
right, title and interest in his Partnership interest and the business and
assets of the Partnership. Such power of attorney, being coupled with an
interest, is irrevocable and shall not be revoked as to any Partner by his death
or incapacity.
(e) Each Defaulting Partner hereby releases the Partnership and all
the other Partners, including any who make loans on his behalf pursuant to
Section 2.3, from any and all claims or liabilities for selling any Partnership
interest as provided for herein.
(f) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event
that the proceeds of such sale are insufficient to repay in full said loan (with
interest and costs as hereinbefore provided), or satisfy the unpaid amount of
the Defaulting Partner's share of the additional capital contribution (with
costs as hereinbefore provided) the Defaulting Partner shall remain personally
liable for such deficiency and the Partners making such loans, or the
Partnership, as the case may be, shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment
against the Defaulting Partner, which in the case of a loan pursuant to Section
2.3 may be sought against the Defaulting Partner irrespective of any other and
further rights the Partners making such loans may have against the Partnership
pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof.
-8-
2.5 Advances. If any Partner shall advance any moneys to the
Partnership in excess of his initial and additional capital contributions,
including any loan pursuant to Section 2.3 as a result of a Defaulting Partner
but excluding any subscription to a Defaulting Partner's share of an additional
capital contribution pursuant to Section 2.3, the amount of any such advance
shall neither result in an increase of his Percentage Interest nor entitle him
to any increase in his share of the distributions of the Partnership (subject to
subsection 2.3(c)) and shall not be credited to his Capital Account (as defined
in Section 2.6); but the amount of any such advance shall be an obligation of
the Partnership to such Partner and shall be repaid to him with interest which,
in the event of a loan pursuant to Section 2.3 shall be at the rate provided in
said Section, and with respect to any other such advance shall be at a rate per
annum which is 1% above the large borrower prime rate charged by First
Pennsylvania Bank N.A. for its most creditworthy borrowers, as in effect from
time to time, or such lesser rate as may then be the maximum legal rate of
interest such advance may bear; provided however, that no such advance shall be
made without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld
in the complete discretion of the General Partner. All advances shall be payable
or collectable only out of the Partnership's assets and the General Partner
shall not be personally obligated to repay any part thereof.
2.6 Capital Accounts.
(a) A capital account shall be established for each Partner and
shall be credited with the amount of his capital contributions made to the
Partnership pursuant to this Article and his share of the Partnership's profits
and shall be charged with distributions and his share of the Partnership's
losses, all as provided in Articles III and IV. (Hereinafter, capital accounts
of the Partnership shall be collectively referred to as the "Capital Accounts"
and individually as a "Capital Account").
-9-
(b) Any Partner, including an additional or substituted Limited
Partner or an assignee of a Partner, who shall receive an interest in the
Partnership or whose interest in the Partnership shall be increased by reason of
the receipt of all or part of the interest of another Partner, shall have a
Capital Account which has been appropriately adjusted to reflect any such
receipt.
(c) No Partner shall have the right to withdraw or reduce his
contribution of capital to the Partnership. Capital contributions shall be
returned only upon the dissolution of the Partnership and distribution of its
assets as provided in Article VIII, provided however, that the General Partner
shall have no personal liability for repayment of the capital contributions of
the Limited Partners.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained or
inferrable herein or by reason of any rule of law, upon dissolution of the
Partnership the deficit, if any, in the capital Account of any General or
Limited Partner shall not be an asset of the Partnership and no Partner shall be
obligated to contribute any amount to the Partnership in order to account for
said deficit, whether resulting by reason of cash distributions or the
allocation of the Partnership losses, and bring the balance of such Partner's
Capital Account to zero. Nothing herein, however, shall be deemed to affect the
liability of the General Partner to creditors of the Partnership.
ARTICLE III
SHARING OF INCOME AND LOSSES
3.1 Percentage Interests. The respective percentage interest of each
Partner (the "Percentage Interest") in the Partnership, subject to modification
pursuant to Sections 2.3 and 7.7, is as follows:

3.2 General Allocations. For accounting and tax purposes all items of

Percentage Interests.
ARTICLE IV
DISTRIBUTIONS
4.1 Application of Distributable Funds.

fiscal year and shall be distributed at such time or times as the General
Partner shall determine in his sole discretion, but no less frequently than once
during each calendar quarter, subject however, to the provisions of subsection
(b), below. Such distribution shall be made pro rata to the Partners in
accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
(b) No distribution need be made under subsection (a), above,
unless the assets of the Partnership immediately thereafter shall be adequate in
kind and sufficient in amount to discharge all of the Partnership's obligations
for which liability is not limited to the assets of the Partnership.
Distributions may be made without regard to the balances in the Capital Accounts
of the Partners or any of them at the time of such distribution so long as each
distribution constitutes a pro rata distribution in accordance with each
Partner's Percentage Interest.
-11-
4.2 Sources of Distributable Funds.
(a) Subject to the retention by the Partnership of reasonable
reserves as provided for in subsection (b), below, the excess of cash receipts
over cash expenditures (whether of an operating or capital nature) on account of
operations of the Partnership ("Distributable Funds") shall be distributed to
the Partners in accordance with Section 4.1. Any other funds deemed available
for distribution by the General Partner, in his sole discretion and to the
extent permitted by law, shall also be considered Distributable Funds.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributable Funds shall not include capital
contributions of the Partners and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of
Partnership assets or insurance proceeds on account thereof all of which are
governed by Section 4.3.
(b) The General Partner may create reserves for working capital,
contingencies and for any other items and in such amount that the General
Partner deems reasonably necessary or desirable for the operation of the
Partnership business, including without limitation, debt service payments on
mortgages whether or not secured by Partnership property and other financing
charges, the payment of state and local income taxes, if any, improvements of
and replacements to Partnership property, debts owed to Partners, the funding of

disposition of all of the assets of the Partnership, or from casualty insurance
if all of the Partnership assets are destroyed and not replaced, shall be made
in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.4 which govern upon the
dissolution of the Partnership.
(c) As used herein, the term "net proceeds" shall mean cash
available after deduction for funds needed by the Partnership, including without
limitation, for application to reduction of Partnership indebtedness, for the
development, improvement or reconstruction of Partnership property; and for
related expenses such as brokers and finders commissions, application fees,
title insurance costs, and legal and other professional expenses.
4.4 No Return of Capital Contributions. No Partner is entitled to the
return of his capital except upon the dissolution of the Partnership, and no
Partner shall be deemed to have received a distribution of capital by reason of
the combination of cash distributions to such Partner and the allocation of
losses of the Partnership charged against such Partner's Capital Account. If a
Limited Partner were deemed to have received a distribution of capital, such
Partner might be liable to the Partnership for the amount of such distribution
of capital, with interest, to the extent necessary to discharge the liabilities
of the Partnership to its creditors.
ARTICLE V

-16-
5.4 Other Interests of Partners.
(a) The General Partner shall devote to the Partnership such time
as reasonably may be required in the conduct of the Partnership business. In
view of the exclusive and limited purposes of the Partnership, no Partner shall
have any obligation to make any other real estate opportunity not involving the
property described on Exhibit A available to the Partnership or to any of its
Partners. It is further expressly agreed that any Partner may engage in and
possess interests in other businesses and ventures of every nature and
description, independently or with others, and any such engagement will not
constitute a breach of the General Partner's fiduciary duties to the Partnership
and neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall have any rights by virtue of
this Agreement or the existence of this Partnership in and to said independent
ventures or to the income or profits derived therefrom.
(b) The Partnership may employ or transact business with any
person, firm or corporation (including without limitation TOLL BROTHERS, INC.),
notwithstanding the fact that any Partner or member of his Immediate Family may
be related to or have an interest therein, provided however, that the
Partnership shall only employ any such person, firm or corporation on terms no
more advantageous than would be given in favor of a disinterested third party
acting in the same capacity. Neither the Partnership nor any Partner (in his
capacity as a partner hereof) shall have any rights to any income or profits
derived in connection therewith. As used herein, the term "Immediate Family" of
a Partner shall mean his spouse, parents, parents-in-law, siblings, and any of
his descendants, or the siblings or descendants of any of the aforementioned
persons.
5.5 Limitations on Limited Partners. The Limited Partners shall in no
event (i) be permitted to take part in the control of the business or affairs of
the Partnership; or (ii) have the authority or power in' the capacity of a
Limited Partner to act as agent for or on behalf of the Partnership or any other
Partner to do any act which would be binding on the Partnership or any other
Partner, including without limitation the incurring of any expenditures on
behalf of the Partnership. Any Limited Partner may, however, deal with the
Partnership as an independent contractor or agent for others and may receive
from such others or the Partnership normal profits, compensation, commissions or
other income incident to such dealings, provided however, that the Limited
Partner shall first obtain from the General Partner consent to such dealings and
in the event of the failure to do so, the Limited Partner shall on demand of the
General Partner remit to the Partnership all such profits, compensation,
commissions and income derived from such dealings.
-17-
5.6 Liability of Limited Partner.
(a) The Limited Partners shall in no event be liable personally for
any of the debts or losses of the Partnership or of the General Partner beyond
the aggregate amount of agreed upon contributions to the capital of the
Partnership as provided in Article II. The Limited Partners shall not have any
obligation to contribute any sums of money or other property to the Partnership
(other than the agreed upon contributions provided for herein) on account of any
deficit or negative balance in his Capital Account.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Act to the contrary,
the right of the General Partner to require additional capital contributions
from all Partners under Section 2.2 is intended solely for the benefit of the
Partners and not for the benefit of creditors of the Partnership or any other
third parties. Accordingly, Section 2.2 shall create no rights in any creditors
of the Partnership or other third parties to require the Partners to make
contributions to the Partnership to meet any obligations of the Partnership.
-18-
5.7 Liability and Indemnification of General Partner.
(a) As among the Partners, no personal liability shall be imposed
upon the General Partner by reason of any act or omission occurring in the
course of his management or control of the Partnership, for damages or
otherwise, except for willful misconduct and in that event, such liability may
only be enforced and satisfied out of the Partnership interest held by the
General Partner and Partnership assets. In addition to as provided in Sections
2.5 and 2.6 with respect to loans made by Limited Partners and return of capital
contributions, respectively, it is further specifically agreed that the General
Partner shall not be liable or responsible for the failure of any Limited
Partner to make any capital contributions agreed to herein.
(b) The Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the General
Partner from and against any loss, expense, damage or injury suffered or
sustained by him by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions
arising out of his activities on behalf of the Partnership, including but not
limited to any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorney's fees and costs
and expenses incurred in connection with the defense and settlement of any
actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim, unless such acts, omissions or
alleged acts or omissions were made as a result of willful misconduct by the
General Partner; provided however, that such indemnity shall be satisfied only
out of and to the extent of the Partnership assets and the Partnership interests
held by the Limited Partners and no Limited Partner shall have any personal
liability on account thereof.
ARTICLE VI
FISCAL MATTERS
6.1 Partnership Books.
(a) The Partnership shall maintain at its principal office, or such
other office as shall be designated by the General Partner, full and accurate
books of the Partnership, including the Certificate and any amendments made
thereto, which shall fully reflect each of its transactions, including the
allocations and cash distributions provided for in Articles III and IV, and all
other records necessary for recording the Partnership's business.
-19-
(b) During regular business hours and upon reasonable notice, each
Partner and his duly authorized representatives shall have access to and may
inspect and copy any of such books and records.
6.2 Annual Reports. Within ninety (90) days following the end of each

shall include a profit and loss statement, a balance sheet, a statement of each
Partner's Capital Account and a statement reflecting each Partner's share of
Partnership income or loss for income tax purposes. Each such statement shall be
prepared without audit, provided that any Partner may require at any reasonable
time that audited statements be prepared by auditors to be selected by the
General Partner at the expense of the Partnership. The General Partner shall
also cause the necessary federal, state and local income tax returns and reports
required of the Partnership to be prepared and timely filed.
6.3 Accounting Decisions. All decisions as to accounting matters,
except as specifically provided to the contrary herein, shall be made by the
General Partner in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied and in use for entities engaged in business similar to that
of the Partnership. The General Partner may rely upon the advice of the
Partnership's counsel or accountants as to whether such decisions are in
accordance with such generally accepted accounting principles. The General
Partner may elect to treat certain items differently for accounting purposes
than the manner in which such items are treated for tax purposes. All legal and

ARTICLE VII
ASSIGNABILITY OF PARTNERS' INTERESTS;
ADDITIONAL LIMITED PARTNERS
7.1 Limited Partner's Interest.
(a) A Limited Partner may transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or
otherwise dispose (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "Transfer") of all or
part of his interest in the Partnership to a person or entity (hereinafter
sometimes referred to as an "Assignee") only if such Transfer is made in
accordance with the provisions of this Article, provided however, that in no
event shall any Limited Partner be relieved of his responsibilities hereunder
without the prior written consent of the General Partner. Any purported Transfer
in violation of the provisions of this Article shall be null and void and the
non-transferring Partners, or any of them, in addition to any other remedies
available under this Agreement and at law, in equity and otherwise, may seek to
enjoin such Transfer and the transferring Partner, or his legal representatives,
agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of any court of equity in the State of
Pennsylvania and to be bound by any order of such court enjoining such purported
Transfer. In the event of any such permitted Transfer, the Assignee shall be
entitled to receive the allocations and distributions to which the Limited
Partner from whom such interest was acquired (hereinafter sometimes referred to
as the "Assignor") would have been entitled and shall be required to make the
capital contributions, if any, which the Assignor would have been required to
make hereunder. Unless the provisions of Section 7.4 are complied with, an
Assignee shall not become or have the rights of "substituted limited partner" as
that term is used in the Act, but shall only have the rights of an "assignee" as
set forth therein and herein.
-21-
7.2 Requirements for Assignment. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement or any rule of law to the contrary, no Transfer, howsoever
accomplished (including without limitation a Transfer of an interest from a
Limited Partner to his spouse pursuant to a divorce settlement or judgment),
whether voluntary or involuntary, of a Limited Partner's interest, although
otherwise valid, shall be recognized by the Partnership until (i) the Assignor
has given written notice thereof to the General Partner; (ii) the Assignee
agrees in writing to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement (including a
confirmation of the representations and warranties contained in Section 9.11)
and to assume all obligations hereunder with respect to the Assignor-Limited
Partner's Partnership interest, and executes and delivers such other instruments
in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner as he may reasonably
deem necessary and desirable to effect the admission of the Assignee into the
Partnership; and (iii) the Assignor delivers to the General Partner on behalf of
the Partnership an opinion of legal counsel for the Assignor satisfactory to the
Partnership to the effect that such transfer may legally be accomplished without
registration under all applicable securities laws. If the Assignor is deceased
or incompetent, certified copies of any court order or documents may be
submitted in lieu of the document which a Limited Partner is required to submit
under clause (i), above, and his legal representative may act on his behalf
under clause (iii), above.
-22-
7.3 Right of First Refusal Upon Assignment.
(a) Subject to subsection (c), below, should any Limited Partner
(the "Selling Partner") desire to Transfer his interest in the Partnership, or
any portion thereof, and have received an offer therefor which he desires to
accept (hereinafter referred to as the "third party offer"), he shall first
deliver to the General Partner and the other Limited Partners, a written
instrument in which he shall:
(i) State his intention to Transfer his interest, or designated
portion thereof (the portion, whether all or part of the interest in the
Partnership which the Selling Partner desires to Transfer, is hereafter referred
to as the "Designated Portion").
(ii) State the price and terms, in terms of cash and/or
promissory note(s), he has received for the purchase of the Designated Portion,
and the name and address of the offeror(s);
(iii) Warrant and represent that to the best of his knowledge
and belief, the third offer referred is a bona fide offer which he is willing to
accept; and
(iv) Offer to sell the Designated Portion to the General
Partner and the other Limited Partners on the same terms and conditions as are
described in such third party offer. Such instrument shall be accompanied by a
true and correct copy of the third party offer.
-23-
(b) At any time during the thirty (30) day period after the
delivery to the Partnership of such offer required by subsection (a), above, the
General Partner shall have the first and prior right to purchase all or part of
the Designated Portion of the Selling Partner on the terms and at the price set
forth in the third party offer, provided however, the General Partner shall not
have the right to purchase part of the Designated Portion unless the other
Limited Partners purchase the balance. If' this right of first refusal is not
exercised in full by the General Partner, the other Limited Partners shall have
the right within thirty (30) days after the end of the above-described thirty
(30) day period to purchase that part of the Designated Portion which the
General Partner has not elected to purchase in such proportions as they may
agree among themselves on the terms and on the basis of the price set forth in
the offer. If such an agreement cannot be reached, each Limited Partner shall
have the right, by giving notice thereof to the other Limited Partners during
the next ten (10) day period to subscribe to all or any part of that remaining
proportion of the Designated Portion as the Partnership interest owned by him
bears to the total Partnership interests owned by all of the Partners (based on
their Percentage Interests) other than the General Partner and Selling Partner.
If Limited Partners elect to purchase less than all of the remaining Designated
Portion, then each Limited Partner who elected to purchase the maximum
proportion thereof pursuant to the preceding sentence shall have the further
right, by giving notice thereof to all of the Limited Partners during the next
ten (10) day period, to subscribe to all or any part of the Designated Portion
not theretofore purchased. If the portion designated for purchase by the Limited
Partners pursuant to preceding sentence is greater than the portion not
purchased, then each Limited Partner who elected to subscribe to a portion of
the Designated Portion pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have subscribed to
that proportion thereof as the portion he designated for subscription bears to
-24-
the aggregate portions designated for subscription by all of the Limited
Partners pursuant to the preceding sentence. If the General Partner and the
other Limited Partners do not agree to purchase all of the Designated Portion,
the Selling Partner may, at any time within sixty (60) days after the expiration
of last thirty (30) or ten (10) day option period, whichever is later, sell the
Designated Portion in the Partnership to the offeror(s) named in the third party
offer, on the terms and at the price stated in such offer, provided that the
sale and conveyance is expressly made subject to the requirements of Section 7.2
and the other provisions of this Agreement. If the sale is not completed within
such sixty (60) day period, the notice given to the General Partner and Limited
Partners shall be deemed to have expired and a new notice and option shall be
required before any transfer is made of the Partnership Interest, or any portion
thereof, of the Selling Partner.
(c) The provisions of subsection (a), above, shall not apply in the
event that the Assignee is any one of the following:
(i) A spouse, ancestor or lineal descendant of an ancestor of
the Assignor, or a trust for the benefit of any one or more of the Assignor and
the foregoing persons.
(ii) A corporation or partnership of which all of the capital
stock, in the case of the corporation, or interest, in the case of a
partnership, are owned by the Assignor and persons designated in clause (i),
above.
(iii) A legal representative, heir or legatee of the Assignor.
(iv) Any Partner of this Partnership. Said provisions shall
also not apply to the pledge, hypothecation or mortgage by a Limited Partner of
all or part of his interest in the Partnership but shall apply to a foreclosure
of or the realization upon any such pledge, hypothecation or mortgage.
7.4 Substituted Limited Partner. An Assignee of all or part of the
interest of a Limited Partner shall become a substituted Limited Partner if and
only if: (i) the General Partner consents to such substitution, which consent
may be withheld for any reason which the General Partner deems appropriate,
provided however, that such consent shall not be required in the event that the
Assignee is already a Partner; (ii) the Assignor grants the Assignee such right,
provided however, that such grant shall not be required in the event that the
Transfer occurs by reason of the death, incompetency or bankruptcy of the
Assignor; and (iii) the Assignee pays to the Partnership all costs and expense
incurred in connection with such substitution, including without limitation,
costs incurred in amending the Certificate.
-25-
7.5 General Partner's Interest. The interest of the General Partner in
the Partnership shall not be assignable without the prior written consent of all
of the Limited Partners. In the event that the General Partner obtains such
consent hereinbefore required in order to transfer his interest to an assignee
who shall become a new General Partner of this Partnership, the assignee shall
not become a General Partner hereunder unless the assignee pays to the
Partnership all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such assignment,
including without limitation, costs incurred in amending the Certificate. Any
purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be null and void and the
provisions set forth in Section 7.1 above with respect to a null and void
Transfer of a Limited Partner's partnership interest shall be similarly
applicable.
7.6 Successor General Partner.
(a) The Partners may, at any time or from time to time, designate
by written agreement executed by holders of more than fifty (50%) percent in
interest of the Partnership (based on their Percentage Interests) one of the
Partners or a non-Partner to be the successor General Partner who shall serve
only upon the death or entry of an order of incompetency of the General Partner,
or upon the occurrence of any of the events relating to the financial condition
of the General Partner as set forth in subsection 8.1(a), provided he agrees in
writing to be bound by this Agreement.
-26-
(b) Upon the death or entry of an order of incompetency of the
General Partner or upon the occurrence of any of the events related to his
financial condition as set forth in subsection 8.1(a) without the designation of
a successor General Partner, the then holders of more than fifty (50%) percent
in interest of the Partnership (based on their Percentage Interests), including
that of the legal representative of the deceased, incompetent or bankrupt
General Partner, shall have ninety (90) days after such event to designate in
writing a Partner or non-Partner to be the successor General Partner, and upon
such designation such Partner or non-Partner shall become the successor General
Partner in the same manner and under the same conditions as if such designation
had been made pursuant to subsection (a), above, prior to such event.
(c) The change of General Partner under this Section or Section 7.5
shall not effect a termination of the Partnership.
(d) The interest of a former General Partner shall upon his death,
the entry of an order of incompetency or the occurrence of any of the events
specified in subsection 8.1(a) be converted into a limited partnership interest
in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 7.5.
7.7 Admission of Additional Limited Partners.
(a) The General Partner shall have the exclusive right and
authority to admit such additional Limited Partners into the Partnership upon
the payment of such capital contributions as the General Partner may decide in
his sole and absolute discretion. In the event that such new Limited Partners
are admitted into the Partnership, the Percentage Interest of each such Limited
Partner shall be arrived at and the Percentage Interest of each existing Partner
shall be adjusted as follows: The Percentage Interest of each Partner shall be a
percentage of the initial capital and additional capital contributed by each
Partner at the time of such admission bears to the total initial and additional
capital contributed by all of the Partners to the Partnership at the time of
such admission. The addition of any such additional Limited Partner shall not be
effective until he has agreed in writing to be bound by all the terms of this
Agreement as if he were an original party hereto and shall have executed and
delivered such other instruments deemed necessary and desirable by the General
Partner to effect such admission into the Partnership.
-27-
(b) The right of the General Partner pursuant to subsection (a),
above, to admit an additional Limited Partner pursuant to a third party bona
fide offer for the purchase of a limited partnership interest shall be subject
to the General Partner first giving the Limited Partners a right of first
refusal with respect to such additional limited partnership interest. The terms
and provisions set forth in Section 7.3 as to the right of refusal to be given
to the Limited Partners with respect to the Transfer of a Limited Partner's
interest shall also govern this right of first refusal.
