3.2 Partnership Capital.

(a) Except as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, no Partner shall be paid interest on any Capital Contribution to the Partnership.

(b) No Partner shall have the right to demand or withdraw all or any part of its Capital Contribution or to receive any return on any portion of its Capital Contribution, except as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.

(e) The Capital Account of each Partner shall be determined after giving effect to all transactions which have been effected prior to the time when such determination is made giving rise to the allocation of Profits and Losses and to all contributions and distributions theretofore made. Any Person who acquires a Partnership Interest directly from a Partner, or whose Partnership Interest shall be increased by means of a transfer to it of all or part of the interest of another Partner, shall have a Capital Account which includes the Capital Account balance of the Partnership Interest so acquired or transferred.

(g) Any fees, salary or similar compensation payable to a Partner pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed a guaranteed payment for federal income tax purposes and not a distribution to such Partner for such purposes.

3.6 Sharing Ratios. The Sharing Ratio of each Partner is set forth opposite its respective name on Schedule 1, attached hereto and hereby made a part of this Agreement. The Sharing Ratios set forth on Schedule 1 may be amended from time to time by the General Partner to reflect any adjustments to such Sharing Ratios as provided in this Agreement.

3.7 Partnership Debt. The Partnership will endeavor to obtain financing on a nonrecourse basis as to any individual Partner. However, in the event any debt obligation of the Partnership requires a guarantee of a Partner or the posting of a letter of credit, and all of the Partners do not agree upon request of the General Partner to guarantee such Partnership obligation and/or post such letter of credit in proportion to its Sharing Ratio, then any Partner guaranteeing such obligation or posting such letter of credit may receive a reasonable fee for such guarantee or letter of credit in an amount determined by such Partner and the General Partner.

ARTICLE IV

ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

4.1 Distributions. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.2, Distributable Cash Flow shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with their respective Sharing Ratios, at such times and in such amounts as determined by the General Partner.

4.2 Allocations of Profits and Losses.

(a) Profits. Except as provided in Section 4.2(c), Profits for any Fiscal Year will be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Sharing Ratios.

(b) Losses. Except as provided in Section 4.2(c), Losses for any Fiscal Year will be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Sharing Ratios.

(c) Special Allocations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the following special allocations will be made in the following order and priority:

(1) Partnership Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any taxable year or other period for which allocations are made, the Partners will be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for that period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods). The amount allocated to each Partner under this Section 4.2(c)(1) shall be an amount equal to such Partner's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during such year or other period determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). This Section 4.2(c)(1) is intended to comply with the partnership minimum gain chargeback requirements of the Treasury Regulations and the exceptions thereto and will be interpreted consistently therewith.

(2) Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section (other than Section 4.2(c)(1) which shall be applied first), if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any taxable year or other period for which allocations are made, any Partner with a share of such Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt (determined under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-(2)(i)(5)) as of the beginning of the year shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for that period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in proportion to the portion of such Partner's share of the net decrease in the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain with respect to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt that is allocable to the Disposition of Partnership property subject to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). This Section is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirements of the Treasury Regulations and the exceptions thereto and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(3) Qualified Income Offset. A Partner who unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) will be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Partner as quickly as possible.

(4) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period for which allocations are made will be allocated among the Partners in accordance with each Partner's Sharing Ratio.

(5) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period for which allocations are made will be allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which the Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

(6) Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset under Code Sections 734(b) or 743(b) is required to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the amount of the adjustment to the Capital Accounts will be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the basis), and the gain or loss will be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).

(7) Depreciation Recapture. In the event there is any recapture of Depreciation or investment tax credit, the allocation of gain or income attributable to such recapture shall be shared by the Partners in the same proportion as the deduction for such Depreciation or investment tax credit was shared.

(8) Reallocation. To the extent Losses allocated to a Partner would cause the Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year, the Losses will be reallocated to the General Partner. If the General Partner receives an allocation of Losses otherwise allocable to a Limited Partner in accordance with this Section, such General Partner shall be allocated Profits in subsequent Fiscal Years necessary to reverse the effect of such allocation of Losses. Such allocation of Profits (if any) shall be made before any allocations under Section 4.2(a) but after any other allocations under Section 4.2(c).

(9) Interest in Partnership. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no allocation of Profit or Loss or item of Profit or Loss will be made to a Partner if the allocation would not have "economic effect" under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii) or otherwise would not be in accordance with the Partner's interest in the Partnership within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(3) or 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv). The General Partner will have the authority to reallocate any item in accordance with this Section 4.2(c)(9).

(d) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 4.2(c)(1) through (9) (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Partners intend to divide Partnership distributions. Accordingly, the General Partner is authorized to further allocate Profits, Losses, and other items among the Partners so as to prevent the Regulatory Allocations from distorting the manner in which Partnership distributions would be divided among the Partners under Sections 4.1 and 9.2 but for application of the Regulatory Allocations. In general, the reallocation will be accomplished by specially allocating other Profits, Losses and items of income, gain, loss and deduction, to the extent they exist, among the Partners so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and the special allocations to each Partner is zero. The General Partner will have discretion to accomplish this result in any reasonable manner that is consistent with Code Section 704 and the related Treasury Regulations.

(e) Tax Allocations—Code Section 704(c). In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the related Treasury Regulations, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership, solely for tax purposes, will be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis to the Partnership of the property for federal income tax purposes and the initial Book Value. If the Book Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to that asset will take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of the asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the related Treasury Regulations. Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations under this Section 4.2(e) will be made in any manner that the General Partner determines reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations under this Section are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and will not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner's Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses or other items or distributions under any provision of this Agreement.

(f) Other Allocation Rules. The following rules will apply to the calculation and allocation of Profits, Losses and other items:

(1) Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, all Profits, Losses and other items allocated to the Partners will be allocated among them in proportion to their Sharing Ratios.

(2) For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses or any other item allocable to any period, Profits, Losses and other items will be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by the General Partner using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the related Treasury Regulations.

(3) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, credit and other allocations not provided for in this Agreement will be divided among the Partners in the same proportions as they share Profits and Losses.

(g) Partner Acknowledgment. The Partners agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section in reporting their shares of Partnership income and loss for income tax purposes.

4.3 Compliance with Code. The foregoing provisions of this Article relating to the allocation of Profits, Losses and other items for federal income tax purposes are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2, and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in this Article shall apply if it lacks "economic effect."

4.4 Allocations upon Transfer of Partnership Interest. Profits or Losses attributable to any Partnership Interest which has been transferred during any Partnership Fiscal Year shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee as follows:

(a) For the days in such Fiscal Year prior to and including the date of the transfer, to the transferor.

(b) For the days in such Fiscal Year subsequent to the date of the transfer, to the transferee.

The Partnership shall indemnify the General Partner and each of its Affiliates, 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 the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, 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 General Partner, or any of its Affiliates, 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 General Partner did not reasonably believe that the General Partner, while acting as general partner, was acting in the best interests of the Limited Partners or, in all other cases, was acting in opposition of the Limited Partner's best interests; (iii) the General Partner or its Affiliates, actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iv) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the General Partner or its Affiliates, 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 General Partner or its Affiliates, did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 5.7. 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 General Partner or its Affiliates, acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this Section 5.7. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, including insurance proceeds, if any.

5.8 Transaction with Partners and Affiliates. In addition to transactions specifically contemplated by the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Partnership may enter into other transactions with

any Partner or an Affiliate thereof or of the Partnership, provided that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable to the Partnership. To determine whether or not a transaction is fair and reasonable to the Partnership, the General Partner may consider the interests of any relevant Person, including any Partner or an affiliate thereof or the Partnership. In the absence of bad faith, willful misconduct or fraud by the General Partner, any transaction approved or effected by the General Partner on the Partnership's behalf with any Partner or an Affiliate thereof or of the Partnership, will be deemed to be fair and reasonable and not constitute a breach of the General Partner's fiduciary duty to the Partnership or to any Partner.

5.9 Resolving Conflicts of Interest. Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, if a potential conflict of interest arises between the General Partner or any of its owners or Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Partnership or any other Partner, on the other hand, the General Partner shall resolve the conflict of interest and any such resolution or course of action in respect of the conflict of interest shall be permitted and deemed approved, ratified and confirmed by all Partners, and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, of any other agreement contemplated herein or therein, or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity, if the resolution or course of action is or (by operation of this Agreement) is deemed to be fair and reasonable to the Partnership. In connection with resolving any conflict of interest, the General Partner may consider (i) the relative interests of any Person (including its own interest) to the conflict, agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens relating to the interests; (ii) any customary or accepted industry practices or historical dealings with a particular Person; (iii) any applicable generally accepted accounting practices or principles; and (iv) such additional factors as the General Partner deems relevant, reasonable or appropriate under the circumstances. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the General Partner to consider the interests of any Person other than the Partnership and its Partners.

5.10 Conversion in Anticipation of Public Offering. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and in addition to the rights of the General Partner granted in this Agreement, in anticipation of a public offering of the Partnership Interests, the General Partner may engage, or cause the Partnership to engage, in any transaction or combination of transactions for the purpose of reorganizing, converting or otherwise changing the form of the Partnership into a corporation or other business entity. If the General Partner engages or causes the Partnership to engage in any transaction described in this section, no Limited Partner, as such, may veto or have any other power that may limit the General Partner's authority under this section. A reorganization, conversion or change in form under this section may not affect the Partnership's overall business or operations, and the equity interests in the successor corporation or other entity must be based on the Partners' proportionate interests in the Partnership.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, unless all of the Partners consent, no Partner may Dispose of all or any portion of its Partnership Interest if such Disposition:

7.3 Substituted Partner.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Article VII, no Partner shall have the right to substitute in its place a purchaser, Assignee, transferee, donee, heir, legatee or other recipient of all or any portion of the Partnership Interest of such Partner.

9.3 Distributions in Kind. If any assets of the Partnership are distributed in kind pursuant to this Agreement, such assets shall be distributed to the Partners entitled thereto as tenants-in-common in the same proportions as the Partners would have been entitled to cash distributions if such property had been sold for cash at its fair market value and the net proceeds thereof distributed to the Partners. In the event that distributions in kind are made to the Partners, the Capital Account balances of such Partners shall be adjusted to reflect the Partners' allocable share of gain or loss which would have resulted if the distributed property had been sold at its fair market value.
