-5-
Contributor
Partner(s):
That or
those Limited Partner(s) listed as Contributor Partner(s) on Exhibit
1D
attached
hereto and made a part hereof, as such Exhibit may be amended from time to
time
by the General Partner, whether by express amendment to this Partnership
Agreement or by execution of a written instrument by and between any additional
Contributor Partner(s) being affected thereby and the General Partner, acting
on
behalf of the Partnership and without the prior consent of the Limited Partners
(whether or not Contributor Partners other than the Contributor Partner(s)
being
affected thereby). For purposes hereof, any successor, assignee, or transferee
of the Interest of a Contributor Partner (other than the Partnership in
connection with a redemption pursuant to Article IX hereof) shall be considered
a Contributor Partner for purposes hereof.
Conversion
Factor:
The
factor applied for converting Partnership Units to REIT Shares, which shall
initially be 1.0; provided,
however,
in the
event that the REIT (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 Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Factor by
a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of REIT Shares issued
and
outstanding on the record date (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 the record date for
such
dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination; provided,
further,
in the
event that the Partnership (a) declares or pays a distribution on the
outstanding Partnership Units in Partnership Units or makes a distribution
to
all Partners in Partnership Units, (b) subdivides the outstanding Partnership
Units or (c) combines the outstanding Partnership Units into a smaller number
of
Partnership Units, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the
Conversion Factor by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the actual
number of Partnership Units issued and outstanding on the record date
(determined without giving effect to such dividend, distribution, subdivision
or
combination), and the denominator of which shall be the actual number of
Partnership Units (determined after giving effect to such dividend,
distribution, subdivision or combination) issued and outstanding on such record
date. 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.
Depreciation:
For each
Fiscal Year or other period, an amount equal to the depreciation, amortization
or other cost recovery deduction allowable with respect to an asset for such
year or other period, except that if the Book Value of an asset differs from
its
adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes at the beginning of such year
or
other period, Depreciation shall be adjusted as necessary so as to be an amount
which bears the same ratio to such beginning Book Value as the federal income
tax depreciation, amortization, or other cost recovery deduction for such year
or other period bears to the beginning adjusted tax basis; provided,
however,
that if
the federal income tax depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery
deduction for such year or other period is zero, Depreciation for such year
or
other period shall be determined with reference to such beginning Book Value
using any reasonable method approved by the General Partner.
Distributable
Cash:
With
respect to any period, and without duplication:
(i) all
cash
receipts of the Partnership during such period from all sources;
(ii) less
all cash
disbursements of the Partnership during such period, including, without
limitation, disbursements for operating expenses, taxes, debt service
(including, without limitation, the payment of principal, premium and interest),
redemption of Partnership Interests and capital expenditures;
(iii) less
amounts
added to reserves in the sole discretion of the General Partner, plus
amounts
withdrawn from reserves in the reasonable discretion of the General
Partner.

tax basis, of the Partnership property in accordance with Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-2(d)(3).

Nonrecourse Deductions:
The
amount of Partnership deductions equal to the increase, if any, in the amount
of

Liability of the Partnership which are attributable to an increase in
Partnership Minimum Gain within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section

in computing Profits or Losses pursuant to this definition, shall be subtracted
from such taxable income or loss;
c. Gain
or
loss resulting from any disposition of Partnership property with respect to
which gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes shall be
computed by reference to the Book Value of the property disposed of
notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of such property differs from such

d. In
lieu
of the depreciation, amortization, and other cost recovery deductions taken
into
account in computing such taxable income or loss, there shall be taken into
account Depreciation for such Fiscal Year or other period, computed in
accordance with the definition of “Depreciation” herein; and
e. In
the
event that any item of income, gain, loss or deduction that has been included
in
the initial computation of Profit or Loss is subject to the special allocation

Any
reference in any section or subsection of this Agreement to the Capital Account

value, the Book Value of all Partnership Assets shall be revalued upward or
downward to reflect the fair market value of each such Partnership Asset as

as
it may adopt.

current or in any prior Fiscal Year;
(3) Third,
to
each Partner in proportion to the cumulative Losses allocated to such Partner
under Section 5.2(B)(4), whether in the current or in any prior Fiscal Year,

the
following order of priority:
(1) First,
to
the Partners (other than the Class C Limited Partner, the Class F Limited

(6) Thereafter,
to the General Partner;
provided,
however,
(i)
that, from and following the first Fiscal Year upon which a Contributor Partner
is no longer a Partner of the Partnership, the provisions of this Section 5.2(B)
shall be null, void and without further force and effect with respect to such
Contributor Partner; (ii) that this Section 5.2(B) shall control,
notwithstanding any reallocation or adjustment of taxable income, loss or other

provided,
however,
that
neither the Partnership nor the General Partner (nor any of their respective
affiliates) is required to indemnify any Contributor Partner (or its affiliates)
for the loss of any tax benefit resulting from any reallocation or adjustment
of
taxable income, loss or other items by the Internal Revenue Service or other
taxing authority; and (iii) that, during such period as there are Contributor
Partners in the Partnership, the provisions of Section 5.2(B)(4) shall not
be
amended in a manner which adversely affects the Contributor Partners (without
the consent of each Contributor Partner so affected).
(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 Article V, if there is a net
decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any tax year or other period for
which allocations are made, each Partner will be specially allocated items
of
Partnership income and gain for that tax year or other period (and, if
necessary, subsequent periods) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the
net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during such tax year or other period
determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g).
Allocations pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made in proportion
to
the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant
thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with
Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section
5.2(C)(1) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements
set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith, including the exceptions to the minimum gain chargeback
requirement set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and (3). If
the
General Partner concludes, after consultation with tax counsel, that the
Partnership meets the requirements for a waiver of the minimum gain chargeback
requirement as set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(4), the
General Partner may take steps reasonably necessary or appropriate in order
to
obtain such waiver.
(2) Partner
Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section (other than Section
5.2(C)(1) which shall be applied before this Section 5.2(C)(2)), if there is
a
net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain during any tax year or other period for
which allocations are made, each Partner with a share of Partner Minimum Gain
determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5) shall
be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for that period
-15-
(and,
if
necessary, subsequent periods) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the
net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain determined in accordance with Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). The items to be so allocated shall be
determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and
1.704-2(j)(2)(ii). This Section 5.2(C)(2) is intended to comply with the minimum
gain chargeback requirements of Treasury Regulations Section and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith, including the exceptions set forth in
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(2) and (3) to the extent such exceptions
apply to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4). If the General Partner
concludes, after consultation with tax counsel, that the Partnership meets
the
requirements for a waiver of the Partner Minimum Gain chargeback requirement
set
forth in Treasury Regulation 1.704-2(f), but only to the extent such exception
applies to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), the General Partner
may
take steps necessary or appropriate to obtain such waiver.
(3) Qualified
Income Offset.
A
Partner who unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution
described in Treasury Regulations Section 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 Treasury
Regulations 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the
Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this
Section 5.2(C)(3) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner
would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations
provided for in this Article V have been tentatively made as if this Section
5.2(C)(3) were not contained in this Agreement.
(4) Partnership
Nonrecourse Deductions.
Partnership Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period for
which allocations are made will be allocated among the Partners in proportion
to
their respective Percentage Interests.
(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 liability 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 Section 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)(2) or (4), 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 of the
asset), 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 thereof shall be made among the Partners in the same proportion
as
the deduction for such Depreciation or investment tax credit was
allocated.
(8) 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)(a) 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).
(D) Curative
Allocations.
The
allocations set forth in Section 5.2(C)(1) through (8) (the “Regulatory
Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury
Regulations Sections 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 in a reasonable
manner so as to prevent the
-16-
Regulatory
Allocations from distorting the manner in which Partnership distributions would
be divided among the Partners under Section 5.3, 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 may accomplish this result in any reasonable manner
that is consistent with Code Section 704 and the related Treasury
Regulations.
(E) Tax
Allocations.
(1) Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 5.2(E)(2), each item of income, gain, loss and
deduction shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes in the same manner
as each correlative item of income, gain, loss or deduction, is allocated for
book purposes pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.1 hereof.
(2) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Article V, in an attempt to eliminate any
Book-Tax Disparity with respect to a Contributed Property, items of income,
gain, loss or deduction with respect to each such property shall be allocated
for federal income tax purposes among the Partners as follows:
(a) Depreciation,
Amortization and Other Cost Recovery Items.
In the
case of each Contributed Property with a Book-Tax Disparity, any item of
depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery allowance attributable to
such
property shall be allocated as follows: (x) first, to Partners (the
“Non-Contributing Partners”) other than the Partners who contributed such
property to the Partnership (or are deemed to have contributed the property
pursuant to Section 4.1(A)) (the “Contributing Partners”) in an amount up to the
book allocation of such items made to the Non-Contributing Partners pursuant
to
Section 5.1 hereof, pro
rata
in
proportion to the respective amount of book items so allocated to the
Non-Contributing Partners pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof; and (y) any remaining
depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery allowance to the Contributing
Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests. In no event shall the
total depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery allowance allocated
hereunder exceed the amount of the Partnership’s depreciation, amortization or
other cost recovery allowance with respect to such property.
(b) Gain
or Loss on Disposition.
In the
event the Partnership sells or otherwise disposes of a Contributed Property
with
a Book-Tax Disparity, any gain or loss recognized by the Partnership in
connection with such sale or other disposition shall be allocated among the
Partners as follows: (x) first, any gain or loss shall be allocated to the
Contributing Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests to the extent
required to eliminate any Book-Tax Disparity with respect to such property;
and
(y) any remaining gain or loss shall be allocated among the Partners in the
same
manner that the correlative items of book gain or loss are allocated among
the
Partners pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof.
(3) In
the
event the Book Value of a Partnership Asset (including a Contributed Property)
is adjusted pursuant to Section 4.4(D) hereof, all items of income, gain, loss
or deduction in respect of such property shall be allocated for federal income
tax purposes among the Partners in the same manner as provided in Section
5.2(E)(2) hereof to take into account any variation between the fair market
value of the property, as determined by the General Partner using such
reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt, and the Book Value of such
property, both determined as of the date of such adjustment.
(4) The
General Partner shall have the authority to elect alternative methods to
eliminate the Book-Tax Disparity with respect to one or more Contributed
Properties, as permitted by Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-3 and 1.704-3T,
and such election shall be binding on all of the Partners.
(5) The
Partners hereby intend that the allocation of tax items pursuant to this Section
5.2(E) comply with the requirements of Code Section 704(c) and Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.704-3 and 1.704-3T.
(6) The
allocation of items of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section
5.2(E) are solely for federal, state and local income tax purposes, and the
Capital Account balances of the Partners shall be adjusted solely for
allocations of “book” items in respect of Partnership Assets pursuant to Section
5.1 hereof.
(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 this Agreement, all Profits, Losses and other items
allocated to the Partners will be allocated among them in proportion to their
Percentage Interests.
(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 and deduction, 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, provided that any credits shall be allocated in accordance with
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).
(4) For
purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a), the Partners hereby agree
that any Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership in excess of the sum of
(i)
the Partnership Minimum Gain and (ii) the aggregate amount of taxable gain
that
would be allocated to the Partners under Section 704(c) (or in the same manner
as Section 704(c) in connection with a revaluation of Partnership property)
if
the Partnership disposed of (in a taxable transaction) all Partnership property
subject to one or more Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership in full
satisfaction of such Liabilities and for no other consideration, shall be
allocated among the Partners in accordance with their respective Partnership
Interests; provided that the General Partner shall have discretion in any Fiscal
Year to allocate such excess Nonrecourse Liabilities among the Partners (a)
in a
manner reasonably consistent with allocations (that have substantial economic
effect) of some other significant item of Partnership income or gain or (b)
in
accordance with the manner in which it is reasonably expected that the
deductions attributable to the excess Nonrecourse Liabilities will be
allocated.
(G) Partner

The
Partners agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 5.2 in reporting
their shares of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for income
tax purposes.

as
otherwise expressly provided or limited by the provisions of this Agreement,
the
General Partner shall have full, exclusive and complete discretion to manage
the

that
the General Partner is authorized to execute, deliver and perform any agreement

Limited Partners who agree so to transfer Limited Partner Interests or from
the

Partner, the Class I Limited Partner, in its capacity as Class I Limited
Partner, nor the Class J Limited Partner, in its capacity as Class J Limited

rendered or withheld by the Limited Partners, the Class C Limited Partner,
the
Class F Limited Partner, the Class G Limited Partner, the Class I Limited
Partner or the Class J Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement shall be
deemed as consultation with or advice to the General Partner in connection
with
the business of the Partnership and, in accordance with the Act, shall not
be
deemed as participation by the Limited Partners, the Class C Limited Partner,
the Class F Limited Partner, the Class G Limited Partner, the Class I Limited
Partner or the Class J Limited Partner in the business of the Partnership and
are not intended to create any inference that the Limited Partners, the Class
C
Limited Partner, the Class F Limited Partner, the Class G Limited Partner,
the
Class I Limited Partner or the Class J Limited Partner should be classified
as
general partners under the Act.
(B) Neither
the Limited Partner, the Class C Limited Partner, the Class F Limited Partner,
the Class G Limited Partner, the Class I Limited Partner nor the Class J Limited
Partner, shall have any liability under this Agreement except with respect

capacity as Class C Limited Partner), the Class F Limited Partner (in its
capacity as Class F Limited Partner), the Class G Limited Partner (in its
capacity as Class G Limited Partner), the Class I Limited Partner (in its

Partner or Affiliate of a Partner shall have any authority to perform (i) any

prohibited by Section 6.2(C), or (iii) any act which is required to be Consented
to or ratified pursuant to this Agreement without such Consent or
ratification.
(B) No
action
shall be taken by a Partner if it would cause the Partnership to be treated
as
an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or,
without the consent of the General Partner, as a publicly-traded partnership
within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code. A determination of whether
such
action will have the above described effect shall be based upon a declaratory
judgment or similar relief obtained from a court of competent jurisdiction,
a
favorable ruling from the IRS or the receipt of an opinion of
counsel.
Section
6.4 Business
with Affiliates.
(A) The
General Partner, in its discretion, may cause the Partnership to transact
business with any Partner or its Affiliates for goods or services reasonably
required in the conduct of the Partnership’s business; provided that any such
transaction shall be effected only on terms competitive with those that may
be
obtained in the marketplace from unaffiliated Persons. The foregoing proviso
shall not apply to transactions between the Partnership and its Subsidiaries.
In
addition, neither the General Partner nor any Affiliate of the General Partner
may sell, transfer or otherwise convey any property to, or purchase any property
from, the Partnership, except (i) on terms competitive with those that may
be
obtained in the marketplace from unaffiliated Persons or (ii) where the General
Partner determines, in its sole judgment, that such sale, transfer or conveyance
confers benefits on the General Partner or the Partnership in respect of matters
of tax or corporate or financial structure; provided,
in the
case of this clause (ii), such sale, transfer, or conveyance is not being
effected for the purpose of materially disadvantaging the Limited
Partners.
(B) In
furtherance of Section 6.4(A), the Partnership may lend or contribute to its
Subsidiaries on terms and conditions established by the General
Partner.
Section
6.5 Compensation;
Reimbursement of Expenses.

indemnity or other payments made pursuant to agreements entered into in
furtherance of the Partnership’s business, (ii) all amounts payable by the
General Partner under the Registration Rights Agreement and (iii) all general
and administrative expenses incurred by the General Partner. Except as otherwise
set forth in this
-19-
Agreement,
the General Partner shall be fully and entirely reimbursed by the Partnership
for any and all direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the organization and continuation of the Partnership pursuant to this
Agreement. In addition, the General Partner shall be reimbursed for all expenses
incurred by the General Partner in connection with (i) the initial public
offering of REIT Shares by the General Partner and (ii) any other issuance
of
additional Partnership Interests or REIT Shares.
Section
6.6 Liability
for Acts and Omissions.
(A) The
General Partner shall not be liable, responsible or accountable in damages
or
otherwise to the Partnership or any of the other Partners for any act or
omission performed or omitted in good faith on behalf of the Partnership and
in
a manner reasonably believed to be (i) within the scope of the authority granted
by this Agreement and (ii) in the best interests of the Partnership or the
stockholders of the General Partner. In exercising its authority hereunder,
the
General Partner may, but shall not be under any obligation to, take into account
the tax consequences to any Partner of any action it undertakes on behalf of
the
Partnership. Neither the General Partner nor the Partnership shall have any
liability as a result of any income tax liability incurred by a Partner as
a
result of any action or inaction of the General Partner hereunder and, by their
execution of this Agreement, the Limited Partners acknowledge the
foregoing.
(B) Unless
otherwise prohibited hereunder, the General Partner shall be entitled to
exercise any of the powers granted to it and perform any of the duties required
of it under this Agreement directly or through any agent. The General Partner
shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any
agent; provided that the General Partner selected or appointed such agent in
good faith.
The
General Partner acknowledges that it owes fiduciary duties both to its
stockholders and to the Limited Partners and it shall use its reasonable efforts
to discharge such duties to each; provided,
however,
that in
the event of a conflict between the interests of the stockholders of the General
Partner and the interests of the Limited Partners, the Limited Partners agree
that the General Partner shall discharge its fiduciary duties to the Limited
Partners by acting in the best interests of the General Partner’s stockholders.
Nothing contained in the preceding sentence shall be construed as entitling
the
General Partner to realize any profit or gain from any transaction between
the
General Partner and the Partnership (except in connection with a distribution
in
accordance with this Agreement), including from the lending of money by the
General Partner to the Partnership or the contribution of property by the
General Partner to the Partnership, it being understood that in any such
transaction the General Partner shall be entitled to cost recovery
only.
Section
6.7 Indemnification.
(A) The
Partnership shall indemnify the General Partner and each director, officer
and
stockholder of the General Partner and each Person (including any Affiliate)
designated as an agent by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion
(each, an “Indemnified Party”) to the fullest extent permitted under the Act
(including any procedures set forth therein regarding advancement of expenses
to
such Indemnified Party) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines,
settlements and any other amounts arising out of or in connection with any
claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings (civil, criminal or
administrative) relating to or resulting (directly or indirectly) from the
operations of the Partnership, in which such Indemnified Party becomes involved,
or reasonably believes it may become involved, as a result of the capacity
referred to above.
(B) The
Partnership shall have the authority to purchase and maintain such insurance
policies on behalf of the Indemnified Parties as the General Partner shall
determine, which policies may cover those liabilities the General Partner
reasonably believes may be incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with
the operation of the business of the Partnership. The right to procure such
insurance on behalf of the
-20-
Indemnified
Parties shall in no way mitigate or otherwise affect the right of any such
Indemnified Party to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.7(A)
hereof.
(C) The
provisions of this Section 6.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties,
their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed
to
create any rights in or benefit to any other Person.

with
all examinations of the affairs of the Partnership by any federal, state, or
local tax authorities, including any resulting administrative and judicial

of
any notice or other communication with respect to the Partnership received
from

Each
Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from or pay to any taxing
authority on behalf of such Partner any tax that the General Partner determines
the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount
distributable or allocable to such Partner. Any amount paid to any taxing
authority which does not constitute a reduction in the amount otherwise
distributable to such Partner shall be treated as a loan from the Partnership
to
such Partner, which loan shall bear interest at the “prime rate” as published
from time to time in The
Wall Street Journal
plus two
(2) percentage points, and shall be repaid within ten (10) business days after

such
loan shall be secured by such Partner’s Partnership Interest and each Partner
hereby grants the Partnership a security interest in his Partnership Interest
for the purposes set forth in this Section 7.6, this Section 7.6 being intended

secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Each Partner agrees to take
such reasonable actions as the General Partner may request to perfect and
continue the perfection of the security interest granted hereby. In the event
any Partner fails to repay any deemed loan pursuant to this Section 7.6 the
Partnership shall be entitled to avail itself of any rights and remedies it
may
have. Furthermore, upon the expiration of ten (10) business days after demand
for payment, the General Partner shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to make the payment to the Partnership on behalf of the defaulting Partner
and
thereupon be subrogated to the rights of the Partnership with respect to such
defaulting Partner.

Upon an
Involuntary Withdrawal of the General Partner and the subsequent Transfer of

date of such event and (ii) pay all costs associated with the admission of
its
Successor General Partner. However, such General Partner shall be free of and
held harmless by the Partnership against any obligation or liability incurred
on
account of the activities of the Partnership from and after the effective date
of such event, except as provided in this Agreement.
Section

on Transfer and Withdrawal by Limited Partner.
(A) Subject
to the provisions of Section 8.4(D), no Limited Partner may Transfer all or
any
portion of his Partnership Interest without first obtaining the Consent of
the
General Partner, which Consent may be granted or withheld in the sole and
absolute discretion of the General Partner. Any such purported transfer
undertaken without such Consent shall be 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 prior to the Transfer
Restriction Date.
(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 (D) below
or
a Transfer pursuant to clause (C) below) of all of his Partnership Units
pursuant to this Article VIII or pursuant to a redemption or exchange of all
of
his Partnership Units pursuant to Article IX. Upon the permitted Transfer or
redemption of all of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Units, such Limited Partner

such Limited Partner or any such person(s) is a trustee, (b) a corporation
controlled by a Person or Persons named in (a) above, or (c) if the Limited
Partner is an entity, its beneficial owners, and the General Partner shall
grant
its Consent to any Transfer pursuant to this Section 8.4(D) unless such
Transfer, in the reasonable judgment of the General
-22-
Partner,
would cause (or have the potential to cause) the General Partner to fail to
qualify for taxation as a REIT, in which case the General Partner shall have
the
absolute right to refuse to permit such Transfer, and any purported Transfer
in
violation of this Section 8.4(D) shall be null and void ab
initio.
(E) No
Transfer of Limited Partnership Units shall be made if such Transfer would
(i) in the opinion of Partnership counsel, cause the Partnership to be
terminated for federal income tax purposes or to be treated as an association
taxable as a corporation (rather than a partnership) for federal income tax
purposes; (ii) be effected through an “established securities market” or a
“secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of
Code Section 7704 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, (iii) in the opinion
of Partnership counsel, violate the provisions of applicable securities laws;
(iv) violate the terms of (or result in a default or acceleration under) any
law, rule, regulation, agreement or commitment binding on the Partnership;

Code); (vi) in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, cause any portion
of
the underlying assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any employee
benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101;
or
(vii) result in a deemed distribution to any Partner attributable to a failure
to meet the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-2(d)(1), unless
such Partner consents thereto.
(F) Prior
to
the consummation of any Transfer under this Section 8.4, the transferor and/or
the transferee shall deliver to the General Partner such opinions, certificates
and other documents as the General Partner shall request in connection with
such
Transfer.
Section

Limited Partner.
(A) No
transferee shall become a Substituted Limited Partner in place of his assignor
unless and until the following conditions have been satisfied:

assignor and transferee file a Notice or other evidence of Transfer and such
other information reasonably required by the General Partner, including, without
limitation, names, addresses and telephone numbers of the assignor and
transferee;

a
transferee of a Limited Partner does not become a Substituted Limited Partner

not
have any rights to require any information on account of the Partnership’s
business, to inspect the Partnership’s books or to vote or otherwise take part
in the affairs of the Partnership (such Partnership Units being deemed to have
been voted in the same proportion as all other Partnership Units held by Limited
Partners have been voted). Such Assignee shall be entitled, however, to all
the
rights of an assignee of a limited partnership interest under the Act. Any
Assignee wishing to Transfer the Partnership Units acquired shall be subject
to
the restrictions set forth in this Article VIII.
Section
8.6 Timing
and Effect of Transfers.
Unless
the General Partner agrees otherwise, Transfers under this Article VIII may
only
be made as of the first day of a fiscal quarter of the Partnership. Upon any
Transfer of a Partnership Interest in accordance with this Article VIII or
redemption of a Partnership Interest in accordance with Article IX, the
Partnership shall allocate all items of Profit and Loss between the assignor
Partner and the transferee Partner in accordance with Section 5.2(F)(2) hereof.

by the Partnership shall be distributed by the Partnership to the Class J
Limited Partner.
Section
9.2 Timing
of Redemption.
The
Redemption Obligation (or the obligation to provide Notice of an applicable
Redemption Restriction, if one exists) shall mature on the date which is seven
(7) business days after the receipt by the General Partner of a Redemption
Notice from the Redeeming Party (the “Redemption Date”).
Section
9.3 Redemption
Price.
On or
before the Redemption Date, the Partnership (or the General Partner if it elects
pursuant to Section 9.4 hereof) shall deliver to the Redeeming Party, in the
sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner either (i) a Share Payment
or (ii) a Cash Payment. In order to enable the Partnership to effect a
redemption by making a Share Payment pursuant to this Section 9.3, the General
Partner in its sole and absolute discretion may issue to the Partnership the
number of REIT Shares required to make such Share Payment in exchange for the
issuance to the General Partner of Partnership Units equal in number to the
quotient of the number of REIT Shares issued and Conversion Factor.
Section
9.4 Assumption
of Redemption Obligation.
Upon
receipt of a Redemption Notice, the General Partner, in its sole and absolute
discretion, shall have the right to assume the Redemption Obligation of the
Partnership. In such case, the General Partner shall be substituted for the
Partnership for all purposes of this Article IX and, upon acquisition of the
Partnership Units tendered by the Redeeming Party pursuant to the Redemption
-23-
Notice
shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such
Partnership Units. Such exchange transaction shall be treated for federal income
tax purposes by the Partnership, the General Partner and the Redeeming Party
as
a sale by the Redeeming Party as seller to the General Partner as
purchaser.
Section
9.5 Further
Assurances; Certain Representations.
Each
party to this Agreement agrees to execute any documents deemed reasonably
necessary by the General Partner to evidence the issuance of any Share Payment
to a Redeeming Party. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each
holder of First Highland Units agrees that, if the General Partner shall elect
to satisfy a Redemption Obligation with respect to First Highland Units by
making a Share Payment, such Redemption Obligation shall mature on the date
which is seven (7) business days after receipt by the Partnership and the
General Partner of documents similar to the “Investor Materials” submitted in
connection with the sale of the First Highland Properties to the Partnership
and
any other similar documents reasonably required by, and in form reasonably
satisfactory to, the Partnership. Each Limited Partner, by executing this
Agreement, shall be deemed to have represented to the General Partner and the
Partnership that (i) its acquisition of its Partnership Interest on the date
hereof is made as a principal for its own account, for investment purposes
only
and not with a view to the resale or distribution of such Partnership Interest
and (ii) if it shall receive REIT Shares pursuant to this Article IX other
than
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, that its acquisition of such REIT Shares is made as a
principal for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a
view
to the resale or distribution of such REIT Shares and agrees that such REIT
Shares may bear a legend to the effect that such REIT Shares have not been
so
registered and may not be sold other than pursuant to such a registration
statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of such
Act.
Section
9.6 Effect
of Redemption.
Upon
the satisfaction of the Redemption Obligation by the Partnership or the General
Partner, as the case may be, the Redeeming Party shall have no further right
to
receive any Partnership distributions in respect of the Partnership Units so
redeemed and shall be deemed to have represented to the Partnership and the
General Partner that the Partnership Units tendered for redemption are not
subject to any liens, claims or encumbrances. Upon a Class C Redemption by
the
Partnership, the Class C Limited Partner shall have no further right to receive
any Partnership distributions or allocations in respect of the Class C Units
so
redeemed. Upon a Class F Redemption by the Partnership, the Class F Limited
Partner shall have no further right to receive any Partnership distributions
in
respect of the Class F Units so redeemed. Upon a Class G Redemption by the
Partnership, the Class G Limited Partner shall have no further right to receive
any Partnership distributions in respect of the Class G Units so redeemed.
Upon
a Class I Redemption by the Partnership, the Class I Limited Partner shall
have
no further right to receive any Partnership distributions in respect of the
Class I Units so redeemed. Upon a Class J Redemption by the Partnership, the
Class J Limited Partner shall have no further right to receive any Partnership
distributions in respect of the Class J Units so redeemed.
Section
9.7 Registration
Rights.
In the
event a Limited Partner receives REIT Shares in connection with a redemption
of
Partnership Units originally issued to Initial Limited Partners on June 30,
1994
pursuant to this Article IX, such Limited Partner shall be entitled to have
such
REIT Shares registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as provided
in the Registration Rights Agreement.
Section
9.8 Redemption
upon REIT Share Repurchases by the General Partner. If
the
General Partner acquires outstanding REIT Shares then the Partnership shall
redeem from the General Partner the General Partner’s interest in the
Partnership representing such acquired REIT Shares and pay to the General
Partner, in cash, an amount equal to the consideration, if any, paid by or
for
the account of the General Partner for the acquired REIT Shares. The Partnership
shall make such cash payment, if any, to the General Partner within three (3)
business days after the General Partner notifies the Partnership that the
General Partner is committed to acquiring REIT Shares and requests payment
under
this Section 9.8. Any REIT Shares acquired by the General Partner that are
thereafter disposed of by the General Partner (which term shall not include
cancellation) shall for the purposes of Sections 4.2(B) and (C), be deemed
issued at the time of such disposition.

DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION
Section
10.1 Term
and Dissolution.
The
Partnership commenced as of November 23, 1993, and shall continue until December
31, 2092, at which time the Partnership shall dissolve or until dissolution
occurs prior to that date for any one of the following reasons:
(A) An
Involuntary Withdrawal or a voluntary withdrawal, even though in violation
of
this Agreement, of the General Partner unless, within ninety (90) days after
such event of withdrawal all the remaining Partners agree in writing to the
continuation of the Partnership and to the appointment of a Successor General
Partner;
(B) Entry
of
a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership under the Act;
or
(C) The
sale,
exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Partnership
Assets.
Section
10.2 Liquidation
of Partnership Assets.
(A) Subject
to Section 10.2(E), in the event of dissolution pursuant to Section 10.1, the
Partnership shall continue solely for purposes of winding up the affairs of,
achieving a final termination of, and satisfaction of the creditors of, the
Partnership. The General Partner (or, if there is no General Partner remaining,
any Person elected by a majority in interest of the Limited Partners (the
“Liquidator”)) shall be responsible for oversight of the winding up and
dissolution of the Partnership. The Liquidator shall obtain a full accounting
of
the assets and liabilities of the Partnership and such Partnership Assets shall
be liquidated (including, at the discretion of the Liquidator, in exchange,
in
whole or in part, for REIT Shares) as promptly as the Liquidator is able to
do
so without any undue loss in value, with the proceeds therefrom applied and
distributed in the following order:
(1) First,
to
the discharge of Partnership debts and liabilities to creditors other than
Partners;
(2) Second,
to the discharge of Partnership debts and liabilities to the
Partners;
(3) Third,
after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, and allocations for
all
periods, to (i) the Class C Limited Partner in an amount equal to any unpaid
Class C Priority Return Amounts, (ii) the Class F Limited Partner in an amount
equal to any unpaid Class F Priority Return Amounts, (iii) the Class G
Limited Partner in an amount equal to any unpaid Class G Priority Return
Amounts, (iv) the Class I Limited Partner in an amount equal to any unpaid
Class
I Return Amounts and (v) the Class J Limited Partner in an amount equal to
any
unpaid Class J Return Amounts ; provided,
that if
the proceeds are inadequate to pay all of the unpaid Class C Priority Return
Amounts, the unpaid Class F Priority Return Amounts, the unpaid Class G Priority
Return Amounts, the unpaid Class I Priority Return Amounts and the unpaid Class
J Priority Return Amounts, such proceeds shall be distributed to the Class
C
Limited Partner, the Class F Limited Partner, the Class G Limited Partner,
the
Class I Limited Partner and the Class J Limited Partner pro
rata
based on
the unpaid Class C Priority Return Amounts, the unpaid Class F Priority Return
Amounts, the unpaid Class G Priority Return Amounts, the unpaid Class I Priority
Return Amounts and the unpaid Class J Priority Return Amounts;
(4) The
balance, if any, to the Partners in accordance with their positive Capital
Accounts after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations
for all periods.
(B) In
accordance with Section 10.2(A), the Liquidator shall proceed without any
unnecessary delay to sell and otherwise liquidate the Partnership Assets;
provided,
however,
that if
the Liquidator shall determine that an immediate sale of part or all of the
Partnership Assets would cause undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may
defer the liquidation except (i) to the extent provided by the Act or (ii)
as
may be necessary to satisfy the debts and liabilities of the Partnership to
Persons other than the Partners.
(C) If,
in
the sole and absolute discretion of the Liquidator, there are Partnership Assets
that the Liquidator will not be able to liquidate, or if the liquidation of
such
assets would result in undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may distribute
such Partnership Assets to the Partners in-kind, in lieu of cash, as
tenants-in-common in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2(A). The
foregoing notwithstanding, such in-kind distributions shall only be made if
in
the Liquidator’s good faith judgment that is in the best interest of the
Partners.
(D) Upon
the
complete liquidation and distribution of the Partnership Assets, the Partners
shall cease to be Partners of the Partnership, and the Liquidator shall execute,
acknowledge and cause to be filed all certificates and notices required by
law
to terminate the Partnership. Upon the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant
to Section 10.1, the Liquidator shall cause to be prepared, and shall furnish
to
each Partner, a statement setting forth the assets and liabilities of the
Partnership. Promptly following the complete liquidation and distribution of
the
Partnership Assets, the Liquidator shall furnish to each Partner a statement
showing the manner in which the Partnership Assets were liquidated and
distributed.
(E) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2, in the event that the Partnership
shall dissolve as a result of the expiration of the term provided for herein
or
as a result of the occurrence of an event of the type described in Section
10.1(B) or (C), then each Limited Partner shall be deemed to have delivered
a
Redemption Notice on the date of such dissolution. In connection with each
such
Redemption Notice, the General Partner shall have the option of either (i)
complying with the redemption procedures contained in Article IX or (ii) at
the
request of any Limited Partner, delivering to such Limited Partner, Partnership
property approximately equal in value to the value of such Limited Partner’s
Partnership Units upon the assumption by such Limited Partner of such Limited
Partner’s proportionate share of the Partnership’s liabilities and payment by
such Limited Partner (or the Partnership) of any excess (or deficiency) of
the
value of the property so delivered over the value of such Limited Partner’s
Partnership Units. In lieu of requiring such Limited Partner to assume its
proportionate share of Partnership liabilities, the General Partner may deliver
to such Limited Partner unencumbered Partnership property approximately equal
in
value to the net value of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units.
Section
10.3 Effect
of Treasury Regulations.
(A) In
the
event the Partnership is “liquidated” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions made to Partners pursuant to Section
10.2 shall be made within the time period provided in Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2). If any Contributor Partner has a deficit
balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions
(without regard to this Section 10.3(A)), distributions and allocations), each
such Contributor Partner shall contribute to the capital of the Partnership
an
amount equal to its respective deficit balance, such obligation to be satisfied
within ninety (90) days following the liquidation and dissolution of the
Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Article X hereof.
Conversely, if any Partner other than a Contributor Partner has a deficit
balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions
(without regard to this Section 10.3(A)), distributions and allocations), such
Partner shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of
the
Partnership. Any deficit restoration obligation pursuant to the provisions
hereof shall be for the benefit of creditors of the Partnership or any other
Person to whom any debts, liabilities, or obligations are owed by (or who
otherwise has any claim against) the Partnership or the general partner, in
its
capacity as General Partner of the Partnership. For purposes of computing each
Contributor Partner’s deficit balance in its Capital Account and its
-25-
corresponding
obligations to contribute additional capital to the Partnership, only items
of
income, gain and loss actually recognized shall be reflected.
(B) In
the
event the Partnership is “liquidated” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) but there has been no dissolution of the
Partnership under Section 10.1 hereof, then the Partnership Assets shall not
be
liquidated, the Partnership’s liabilities shall not be paid or discharged and
the Partnership’s affairs shall not be wound up. In the event of such a
liquidation there shall be deemed to have been a distribution of Partnership
Assets in kind to the Partners in accordance with Section 10.2 followed by
a
recontribution of such Partnership Assets by the Partners in the same
proportions.
Section
10.4 Time
for Winding-Up.
Anything in this Article X notwithstanding, a reasonable time shall be allowed
for the orderly winding-up of the business and affairs of the Partnership and
the liquidation of the Partnership Assets in order to minimize any potential
for
losses as a result of such process. During the period of winding-up, this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall govern the rights
and
relationships of the Partners inter
se.

favor of such action, which consent may be evidenced in one or more instruments.
Consents need not be solicited from any other Partner if the written consent
of
a sufficient number of Partners has been obtained to take the action for which
such solicitation was required.

qualification effective during the period the Shelf Registration Statement
is
required to be kept effective or during the period offers or sales are being
made by a Holder that has delivered a Registration Notice to the Company,
whichever is shorter, and do any and all other acts and things which may be
reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the
disposition in each such jurisdiction of such Registrable Securities owned
by
such Holder; provided,

proceeding for such purpose and (iv) of the happening of any event during
the period the Shelf Registration Statement is effective as a result of which

be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of

effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement at the earliest possible
moment.

to each Holder of Registrable Securities that has delivered a Registration
Notice to the Company, without charge, at least one conformed copy of the Shelf
Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto (without
documents incorporated therein by reference or exhibits thereto, unless
requested).

with the selling Holders of Registrable Securities to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities
to

such Registrable Securities to be issued for such numbers of shares and
registered in such names as the selling Holders may reasonably request at least
two (2) business days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities.
(i) subject
to the last three sentences of Section 3(b) hereof, upon the occurrence of

purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus will not contain

of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

however,
that
such records, documents or information which the Company determines in good
faith to be confidential, and notifies such representatives, counsel or
accountants in writing that such records, documents or information are
confidential, shall not be disclosed by the representatives, counsel or
accountants unless (i) the disclosure of such records, documents or
information is necessary to avoid or correct a material misstatement or omission
in the Shelf Registration Statement, (ii) the release of such records,
documents or information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from
a
court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) such records, documents or
information have been generally made available to the public otherwise than

violation of this Agreement.
(k) a
reasonable time prior to the filing of any Prospectus, any amendment to the

therein unless requested) to the Holders of Registrable Securities that have

practicable, an earnings statement covering at least 12 months which shall
satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158
thereunder.
(o) use
its
reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the
Shelf

governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the
business and operations of the Company to enable Holders that have delivered
Registration Notices to the Company to consummate the disposition of such
Registrable Securities.
The
Company may require each Holder of Registrable Securities to furnish to the
Company in writing such information regarding the proposed distribution by
such
Holder of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time
reasonably request in writing.
In
connection with and as a condition to the Company’s obligations with respect to
the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2 hereof and this Section
3, each Holder agrees that (i) it will not offer or sell its Registrable
Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement until (A) it has either
(1) provided a Registration Notice pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof or (2)
had Registrable Securities included in the Shelf Registration Statement at
the
time it became effective pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof and (B) it has received
copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(b)
hereof and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become
effective; (ii) upon receipt of nay notice from the Company of the
happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(b)(iv) hereof, such
Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant

Section
4. Restrictions on Public Sale by Holders of Registrable
Securities.
Each
Holder agrees with the Company that:
(a) If
the
Company determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with counsel,
that the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement under Section 2 hereof
or
the use of any Prospectus would require the disclosure of important information
which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as
confidential or the disclosure of which would impede the Company’s ability to
consummate a significant transaction, upon written notice of such determination
by the Company, the rights of the Holders to offer, sell or distribute any
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or to
require the Company to take action with respect to the registration or sale
of
any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement
(including any action contemplated by Section 3 hereof) will be suspended until
the date upon which the Company notifies the Holders in writing that suspension
of such rights for the grounds set forth in this Section 4(a) is no longer
necessary.
(b) In
the
case of the registration of any underwritten equity offering proposed by the
Company (other than any registration by the Company on Form S-8, or a successor
or substantially similar form, of (i) an employee stock option, stock
purchase or compensation plan or of securities issued or issuable pursuant
to
any such plan or (ii) a dividend reinvestment plan), each Holder agrees, if
requested in writing by the managing underwriter or underwriters administering
such offering, not to effect any offer, sale or distribution of Registrable
Securities ) or any option or right to acquire Registrable Securities) during
the period commencing on the 10th day prior to the expected effective date
(which date shall be stated in such notice) of the registration statement
covering such underwritten primary equity offering and ending on the date
specified by such managing underwriter in such written request to such Holder,
which date shall not be later than six months after such expected date of
effectiveness;
(c) In
the
event that any Holder uses a Prospectus in connection with the offering and
sale
of Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus, such Holder will use
only
the latest version of such Prospectus provided to it by the
Company.
Section
5. Indemnification Contribution.
(a) Indemnification
by the Company.
The
Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and its officers
and
directors and each person, if any, who controls any Holder within the meaning
of
Section 15 of the Securities Act as follows:
(i) against
any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred,
arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto)
or
any Prospectus, including all documents incorporated therein by reference,
or
the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in
order
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading;
(ii) against
any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred,
to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation,
or
investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such
-7-
untrue
statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if
such
settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and
(iii) against
any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing
or
defending against any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, in each case whether
or
not a party, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or
omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that
any such expense is not paid under clause (i) or (ii) above;
provided,
however,
that
the indemnity provided pursuant to this Section 5(a) does not apply to any
Holder with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the
extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by such Holder expressly for use in the
Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any
Prospectus.
(b) Indemnification
by Holders.
Each
Holder severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the
other
selling Holders, and each of their respective directors and officers (including
each director and officer of the Company who signed the Shelf Registration
Statement), and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any other
selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, to the
same extent as the indemnity contained in Section 5(a) hereof (except that
any
settlement described in Section 5(a)(2) shall be effected with the written
consent of such Holder), but only insofar as such loss, liability, claim, damage
or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission,
or
alleged untrue statement or omission, made in the Shelf Registration Statement
(or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Company by such selling Holder
expressly for use in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto)
or such Prospectus. In no event shall the liability of any Holder under this
Section 5(b) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds
received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving
rise
to such indemnification obligation.
(c) Each
indemnified party shall give reasonably prompt notice to each indemnifying
party
of any action or proceeding commenced against it in respect of which indemnity
may be sought hereunder, but failure so to notify an indemnifying party
(i) shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the
indemnity agreement provided in Section 5(a) or (b) unless and to the extent
it
did not otherwise learn of such action and the lack of notice by the indemnified
party results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights
and defenses and (ii) shall not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying
party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the
indemnification obligation provided under Section 5(a) or (b). If the
indemnifying party so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such
notice, the indemnifying party may assume the defense of such action or
proceeding at such indemnifying party’s own expense with counsel chosen by the
indemnifying party; provided,
however,
that,
if such indemnified party or parties reasonably determine that a conflict of
interest exists where it is advisable for such indemnified part or parties
to be
represented by separate counsel or that, upon advice of counsel, there may
be
legal defenses available to them which are different from or in addition to
those available to the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall
not
be entitled to assume such defense and the indemnified party or parties in
the
aggregate shall be entitled to one separate counsel at the indemnifying party’s
expense. If an indemnifying party is not so entitled to assume the defense
of
such action or does not assume such defense, after having received the notice
referred to in the first sentence of this Section 5(c), the indemnifying party
or parties will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the
indemnified party or parties. In such event however, no indemnifying party
will
be liable for any settlement effected without the written consent of such
indemnifying party. If an indemnifying party is entitled to assume, and assumes,
the defense of such action or proceeding in accordance with this paragraph,
such
indemnifying party shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel
for
the indemnified parties incurred thereafter in connection with such action
or
proceeding.
-8-
(d) In
order
to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the
indemnity agreement provided for in this Section 5 is for any reason held to
be
unenforceable although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company
and
the selling Holders shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities,
claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnity
agreement incurred by the Company and the selling Holders, in such proportion
as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of and benefits to the Company
on
the one hand the selling Holders on the other (in such proportions that the
selling Holders are severally, not jointly, reasonable for the balance), in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative benefits to the indemnifying party and
indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
the
total proceeds received by the indemnifying party and indemnified parties in
connection with the offering to which such losses, liabilities, claims, damages,
or expenses relate. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified
parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has
been
made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or
the
indemnified parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action.
The
Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just or equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account
of
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no selling Holder shall
be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Registrable Securities of such selling Holder were offered
to
the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such selling Holder is
otherwise required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or
omission.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any Person w ho was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 5(d), each Person, if any,
who
controls a Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and
directors and officers of a Holder shall have the same rights to contribution
as
such Holder, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company
w ho
signed the Shelf Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls
the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have
the same rights to contribution as the Company.
Section
6. Rule 144 Sales.
(a) The
Company covenants that it will file the reports requires to be filed by the
Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, so as to enable any
H
older to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act.
(b) In
connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition by any Holder of any
Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the
Company shall cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation
and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold
and
not bearing any Securities Act legend, and enable certificates for such
Registrable Securities to be for such number of shares and registered in such
names as the selling Holders may reasonably request at least two business days
prior to any sale of Registrable Securities.

Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such Person
shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof and shall be conclusively

hereof.

THEREOF.
(f) Specific

Company and the Holders acknowledge that there would be no adequate remedy
at
law if any party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, and
accordingly agree that the Company and each Holder, in addition to any other
remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to

in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in any court
of
