However, the General Partner shall be under no obligation to undertake a conversion and the decision as to whether to proceed with such Conversion and the timing and scope thereof shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner. The Partnership shall have all powers necessary or desirable to accomplish these purposes.

2.4 Filing of Partnership Documents. Promptly upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the General Partner shall cause an executed Certificate of Limited Partnership (the “Certificate”) which is consistent with the provisions of this Agreement and in the form required by the Act to be filed for record in the Office of the Secretary of State of Delaware and in such additional offices as may be designated by the Act or other applicable law.

ARTICLE III
Capital Contributions

3.1 Initial Capital Contributions.

(a) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the General Partner shall contribute to the capital of the Partnership the amount of $14,000,000 in cash, which contribution will be used to prepay a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Existing Indebtedness.

(b) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Limited Partner shall contribute the Property to the capital of the Partnership, free and clear of all Liens other than the Permitted Exceptions, and the Partnership shall assume the Assumed Liabilities, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Formation Agreement. The parties agree that the Gross Asset Value of the Property (net of the Assumed Liabilities) is $1.

3.2 Additional Capital Contributions. In the event that the General Partner from time to time shall determine that additional funds are necessary or desirable for any partnership purpose, in excess of other funds anticipated to be available to the Partnership, then the General Partner may, but shall not be obligated to, make an additional capital contribution to the Partnership either in cash or property. No Partner shall be required or permitted to make any additional capital contribution to, or other financial accommodation for the benefit of, the Partnership except as expressly provided herein.

3.3 Limitation of Liability. The Limited Partner shall not be bound by, or be personally liable for, the expenses, liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or the General Partner and the liability of the Limited Partner shall be limited solely to the amount of his or its contribution to the capital of the Partnership as provided in this Agreement. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no distribution (or any part of any distribution) made to any Limited Partner pursuant to Article IV shall be deemed to be a return or withdrawal of capital and that no Limited Partner shall be obligated to pay any such amount to or for the account of the Partnership or any creditor of the Partnership. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, the Limited Partner is obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of the Limited Partner and not of the General Partner.

3.4 No Withdrawal. The Partnership shall not be obligated to redeem or repurchase any Partnership Interest, no capital contribution or portion thereof may be withdrawn by any Partner and no distribution is required to be made to any Partner except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. No Partner shall be entitled to demand any property from the Partnership other than cash.

3.5 Capital Accounts. An individual Capital Account shall be maintained for each Partner. No interest shall be paid or accrued on the Capital Account of any Partner.

3.6 Additional Partners. Whenever the General Partner shall in its sole discretion, determine that additional funds are required for the purposes contemplated herein which the General Partner is unwilling to provide pursuant to Section 3.2, the General Partner shall have the right to issue Additional Units of general or limited partnership interest (the “Additional Units”) to any person other than the General Partner or an Affiliate of the General Partner. The Additional Units shall have such rights with respect to Partnership Percentages, distributions of cash or property and allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses, and otherwise shall have such terms and provisions as the General Partner shall, in its discretion determine.

Upon issuance of Additional Units, an appropriate amendment to this Agreement shall be entered into among all Partners, including, without limitation, those Partners admitted to the Partnership in connection with the issuance of Additional Units. Anything in Article VII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Power of Attorney granted pursuant to Article VII shall include the power and authority to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such amendment which the General Partner deems necessary or advisable in connection with the issuance of Additional Units.

Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, any amendments entered into in connection with the issuance of Additional Units shall, to the extent the same allocate a Partnership Percentage to the purchasers of the Additional Units, the amount of the Partnership Percentages allocated to said purchasers shall be allocated solely from the Partnership Percentage of the General Partner, it being understood that the Partnership Percentage of the Limited Partner shall not thereby be reduced.

Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in the preceding paragraph of this Section 3.6, in the event any capital contribution made in connection with the issuance of Additional Units shall be distributed to the Partners of the Partnership (other than the purchasers of the Additional Unit), the Limited Partner shall have the right to elect either to receive its share of any such distribution (if any) or to forego the receipt thereof (in which event the amount which would otherwise have been distributed to the Limited Partner shall be distributed solely to the General Partner). Any election by the Limited Partner hereunder shall be made not later than ten (10) days following delivery by the General Partner to the Limited Partner of a written notice stating that Additional Units have been issued, the amount of capital contribution to the Partnership made in connection therewith, and the amount, if any, which the General Partner intends to distribute to the Partners, including the amount, if any, to which the Limited Partner would be entitled. If the Limited Partner shall fail to notify the General Partner, within the aforesaid period of ten (10) days of its election not to accept its pro rata share of any such distribution, the Limited Partner shall irrevocably and conclusively be deemed to have elected to receive its pro rata share thereof. If the Limited Partner shall elect to receive its pro rata share of such distribution, or be deemed to have so elected, then,

The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 4.3(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in said section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to this paragraph shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant hereto.

(b) Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt.

This Section 4.4 is intended to minimize to the extent possible and to the extent necessary any economic distortions which may result from application of Section 1.704-1(b) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

For purposes hereof, in order to determine the proportionate allocations of depreciation and amortization deductions for each fiscal year or other applicable period, such deductions shall be deemed allocated on the same basis as Net Profits and Net Losses for such respective period.

(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.6 the General Partner may at any time designate additional persons to be General Partners, whose Partnership Interest shall be such as are agreed to by the General Partner and such additional persons. Such additional persons shall become successor or additional General Partners only upon meeting the conditions provided in Sections 8.2(a) and (b).

(a) The successor person shall have accepted and agreed to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement by executing a counterpart hereof and such other documents or instruments as may be required or appropriate in order to effect the admission of such person as a General Partner and all appropriate documents evidencing the admission of such person as a General Partner shall have been filed for recordation and all other actions required by law in connection with such admission shall have been performed; and

(b) If the successor person is a corporation, it shall have provided the Partnership with evidence satisfactory to counsel for the Partnership of its authority to become a General Partner and to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

8.3 Effect of Bankruptcy, Death, Withdrawal, Dissolution or Incompetency of a General Partner.

(a) In the event of the Bankruptcy, death, withdrawal, dissolution or incompetency of a General Partner, the Partnership shall be dissolved unless the remaining General Partner(s), if any, or the Limited Partner, elect to continue the business of the Partnership within 90 days after such event.

(b) Upon the Bankruptcy, death, withdrawal, dissolution or incompetency of a General Partner where the business of the Partnership is continued in accordance with Section 8.3(a), such General Partner shall immediately cease to be a General Partner and its Partnership Interest shall be converted to that of a Limited Partner with the same rights under Article IV to share in the Net Profits and Losses, Net Cash Flow and proceeds from liquidation of the Partnership. Nothing in this Section 8.3(b) shall affect any rights or liabilities of the Bankrupt: deceased, withdrawn dissolved or incompetent General Partner which matured prior to the Bankruptcy, death, withdrawal, dissolution or incompetency of such General Partner.

(c) If, at the time of the Bankruptcy, death, withdrawal, dissolution or incompetency of a General Partner, such General Partner was not the sole General Partner of the Partnership, the remaining General Partner or Partners shall immediately (i) give Notice to the Limited Partner of such Bankruptcy, death, withdrawal, dissolution or incompetency and (ii) make such amendments of this Agreement and execute and file for recordation such other documents or instruments as are necessary to reflect the conversion of the Partnership Interest of the Bankrupt, deceased, withdrawing, dissolved or incompetent General Partner.

The Tag-Along Right may be exercised by the Limited Partner by a written notice delivered to the General Partner within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Sale Notice from the General Partner. Failure to exercise the Tag-Along Right within the aforesaid thirty (30) day period shall constitute the irrevocable and conclusive election of the Limited Partner not to exercise the Tag-Along Right. If the Limited Partner shall elect the Tag-Along Right, it shall be entitled (and, from and after its said election, shall be obligated) to sell or transfer, pursuant to the offer referred to in the Sale Notice, that portion of its Partnership Interest which is the equivalent, in terms of Partnership Percentages, of the portion of the Partnership Interest which the General Partner intends to sell pursuant to the said offer (after adjustment for exercise of the Tag-Along. Rights by the Limited Partner), and the portion of the Partnership Interest of the General Partner to be so sold shall be reduced accordingly.

ARTICLE IX

(b) No Limited Partner may sell, transfer or assign his or its Partnership Interest in whole or in part if such sale, transfer or assignment would cause a termination of the Partnership for Federal income tax purposes.

The General Partner may obtain an opinion of counsel as to whether such sale, transfer or assignment would cause a termination of the Partnership for Federal income tax purposes, and the General Partner shall be entitled to rely upon such opinion in determining whether such sale, transfer or assignment would cause the termination of the Partnership.

(c) No offer, sale, transfer, assignment, hypothecation or pledge of any Partnership Interest may be made unless the General Partner shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that such proposed disposition (i) may be effected without registration of the Partnership Interest under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (ii) would not be in violation of any applicable State securities or “Blue Sky” law (including investment suitability standards).

9.4 Right of First Refusal.

(a) On or after the Conversion Date, a Limited Partner (hereinafter in this Section referred to as the “ selling Partner”) may transfer, sell, assign, or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of his or its Partnership Interest to a third party after first offering the same for a period of 30 days to the General Partner, at a price and upon terms no less favorable than those which the selling Partner is willing to accept from such third party (as evidenced by a bona fide offer received from such third party by such selling Partner.

(c) If, by the end of the 30 day period during which the option to purchase is available to the General Partner, the General Partner has not agreed to purchase, on the terms and conditions above provided, the entire Partnership Interest being offered by the selling Partner, the selling Partner may, subject to the provisions of Section 9.1 and 9.2, within 60 days from the date of expiration of such 30 day period, transfer his or its Partnership Interest to such third party at a price not less than the price and on terms no less favorable to the selling Partner than the terms at which such Partnership Interest was offered to the General Partner. If such Partnership Interest is not so disposed of within such period of 60 days, the selling Partner shall, before the disposition of his Partnership Interest, again be obligated to offer it first to the General Partner pursuant to this Section 9.4.

(d) The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall apply to the trustee, executor, administrator or guardian of any Bankrupt, deceased or incompetent Partner to the same extent that such provision would have applied to the Bankrupt, deceased or incompetent Limited Partner.

(e) In the event any offer shall contemplate the payment of any consideration in exchange for the purchase of the Partnership Interest of the selling Partner other than cash then: (i) if such other consideration shall be a note, contract obligation or other form of deferred payment, the selling Partner shall accept the note or other obligation of the General Partner in satisfaction of said obligation; and (ii) with respect to any other form of consideration, the General Partner may either, at its election, deliver the non-cash consideration called for by the offer, or cash in lieu thereof equal to the fair market value of such non-cash consideration as of the date of closing. If the fair market value of the non-cash consideration cannot be agreed upon by the selling Partner and the General Partner, the closing shall take place by delivery to the selling Partner of cash in the amount of the fair market value as proposed by the General Partner, and the remaining amount in dispute shall be determined by means similar to that set forth in Section 9.8.

9.5 Admission of Substitute Limited Partner.

(a) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IX, an assignee of the Partnership Interest of a Limited Partner (which shall be understood to include any purchaser, transferee, donee or other recipient of any disposition of such Partnership Interest and shall include a purchaser acquiring an interest pursuant to Section 9.4 hereof) shall be deemed admitted as a Limited Partner of the Partnership (sometimes referred to as a “Substitute Limited Partner” ) only- upon the satisfactory completion of the following:

(i) Consent of the General Partner shall have been given, which consent may be evidenced by the execution by the General Partner of a Certificate evidencing the admission of such person as a Limited Partner and which consent may be given or withheld

in the General Partner’s sole discretion but is deemed to have been given in the case of a transfer pursuant to Section 9.3;

(ii) The assignee shall have accepted and agreed to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement by executing a counterpart hereof and such other documents or instruments as the General Partner may require in order to effect the admission of such person as a Limited Partner;

(iii) A Certificate evidencing the admission of such Person as a Limited Partner shall have been filed with such governmental offices as shall be required under the Act (if any) or other applicable state statutes;

(iv) The assignee shall have delivered a letter containing a representation in the form set forth in Section 9.1(a);

(v) If the assignee is a corporation, the assignee shall have provided the General Partner with evidence satisfactory to counsel for the Partnership of its authority to become a Limited Partner under the terms and provisions of this Agreement;

(vi) The assignee shall have executed a power of attorney acceptable to the General Partner containing the terms and provisions set forth in Article VII; and

(vii) The assignee shall have paid all reasonable legal fees and administrative costs of the Partnership and the General Partner and filing and publication costs in connection with his or its substitution as a Limited Partner.

(b) A Substitute Limited Partner shall be treated as having become, and appearing in the records of the Partnership as, a Partner as of the day the conditions set forth in section 9.5(a) are satisfied.

(c) Any Limited Partner who shall assign all of his or its Partnership Interest shall cease to be a Limited Partner of the Partnership except that unless and until a Substitute Limited Partner is admitted in his or its stead and place such assigning Limited Partner shall retain the statutory rights of an assignor of a limited Partnership Interest under the Act (as modified by this Agreement) and retain the obligations of a Limited Partner under the Act and this Agreement. The rights of an assignee of his or its Partnership Interest who does not become a Substitute Limited Partner shall be limited to receipt of his or its share of Net Profits and Net Losses and Net Cash Flow pursuant to Article IV and distributions upon liquidation and dissolution as determined under Article X.

(d) The General Partner shall cooperate with the person seeking to become a Substitute Limited Partner by preparing the documentation required by this Section and making all official filings and publications. The General Partner shall take all such action, including the filing or recordation of any Certificate evidencing the admission of any person as a Limited Partner pursuant to Section 9.5(a) (iii) and the making of any other official filings and publications, as promptly as practicable after the satisfaction by the assignee of the Partnership Interest of a Limited Partner of the conditions in this Article IX to the admission of such person as a Substitute Limited Partner. ·

9.6 Rights of Assignee of Partnership Interest.

(a) Except as required by operation of law, the Partnership shall not be obligated for any purposes whatsoever to recognize the assignment by any Limited Partner of his or its Partnership Interest as permitted hereunder unless and until the Partnership has received notice thereof, which notice must include such information and documentation with respect to the assignment as the General Partner may reasonably require.

(b) Any person who is the assignee of all or any portion of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest but does not become a Substitute Limited Partner and desires to make a further assignment of such Partnership Interest shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article IX to the same extent and the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of his or its Partnership Interest.

9.7 Effect of Bankruptcy, Death or Incompetence of a Limited Partner. In addition to the rights granted to the General Partner pursuant to Section 9.8 hereof, the Bankruptcy of a Limited Partner or the death of a Limited Partner or an adjudication that a Limited Partner is incompetent (which term shall include, but not be limited to, insanity) shall not cause the termination or dissolution of the Partnership and, in such case, the business of the Partnership shall continue. If a Limited Partner becomes Bankrupt, the trustee or receiver of his or its estate or, if he dies, his executor, administrator or trustee or if he is adjudicated incompetent, his committee, guardian or conservator, shall have the rights of an assignee hereunder but shall not become a Substitute Limited Partner except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.5.

The amount which the Bankrupt Partner would have been entitled to receive upon such sale shall be the amount of Net Cash Flow and liquidation proceeds which would have been distributed to the Bankrupt Partner from the Partnership following a sale and after payment of all liabilities and obligations of the Partnership.

Upon delivery of the Purchase Notice, the same shall constitute an irrevocable and unconditional contract of purchase and sale between the General Partner and the Bankrupt Partner. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Partnership Interest of the Bankrupt Partner shall take place on the closing date specified in the Purchase Notice, which date shall not be more than ninety (90) days, nor less than thirty (30) days, after the delivery of the Purchase Notice.

(b) At the election of the General Partner electing to purchase the Partnership Interest of the Bankrupt Partner, the purchase price may be paid either all in cash at the closing or such lesser amount of cash (but in no event less than twenty percent (20%) in cash) on the closing date with the balance to be represented by a promissory note executed by the purchasing Partner in favor of the Bankrupt Partner, bearing interest at equal to the greater of (i) eight percent (8%) per annum, or (ii) the Applicable Federal Rate as set forth in Section 1274 of the Code, and providing for payment in equal annual installments of principal and interest in such amount as will fully amortize the principal amount of such note over a period of five (5) years.

(c) The fair market value of the assets of the Partnership, subject to liens and encumbrances, if not otherwise agreed upon by the Partners, shall be determined, using the income approach, by three (3) independent appraisers, all of whom shall be members of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers with ten years’ experience in appraisal of properties similar to those of the Partnership, one appointed by each Partner, and a third appointed by the two appraisers appointed by each such Partner. The appraisers to be appointed by each Partner shall be appointed not later than fifteen (15) days following delivery of the Purchase Notice to the Bankrupt Partner, and, if either Partner shall fail to appoint its appraiser within the aforesaid period of fifteen (15) days, the fair market value shall be determined solely by the appraiser selected by the Partner who has selected its appraiser within the required fifteen (15) day period. If the two appraisers so appointed shall be unable to agree on the selection of the third appraiser, then either appraiser, on behalf of both, may request such appointment by the Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The fair market value of the assets of the Partnership, subject to liens and encumbrances, shall be the average of the valuations of such properties as determined by each such appraiser; provided, however, if such average deviates more than seven percent (7%) from the median of such valuations, the fair market value shall be the average of the two closest valuations. Any such appraisal shall be at the sole expense of the Partnership and shall be submitted to the Partners within thirty (30) days after the panel of the three appraisers is constituted.

ARTICLE X
Dissolution and Liquidation

10.1 Liquidation. In the event of the termination of the Partnership pursuant to Section 2.5, the General Partner (or if there be none, then a liquidation committee (“Liquidation Committee”) appointed by the Limited Partners owning, in the aggregate, at least 70% of all Interests then owned by the Limited Partners), shall commence to wind up the affairs of the Partnership and to liquidate its assets. The General Partner (or the Liquidation Committee) shall have full right and unlimited discretion to determine the time, manner and terms of any sale or sales of Partnership property pursuant to such liquidation, having due regard to the activity and condition of the relevant market and general financial and economic conditions. In the event it becomes necessary to make a distribution of Partnership property in kind, such property shall be transferred and conveyed to the Partners so as to vest in each as a tenant in common an undivided interest in the whole of said property equal to his or its interest in the distribution of proceeds pursuant to Section 10.2. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.2, in the event of the sale of Partnership assets for a consideration including, in whole or in part, deferred obligations, the liquidation of the Partnership shall not be deemed finally terminated until the Partnership shall have sold all or substantially all of its assets for cash or received cash payments in full with respect

to all deferred obligations received by the Partnership in connection with the sale of Partnership assets.

10.2 Distribution of Proceeds. The net proceeds resulting from the liquidation of the Partnership’s properties following a dissolution of the Partnership shall be distributed and applied in the following order of priority:

(a) first, to the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Partnership;

(b) second, to the setting up of any Reserves that the General Partner or the Liquidation Committee deem reasonably necessary to provide for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligation of the Partnership (it being understood however, that any funds so reserved shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.2 after the obligation for which the Reserve was established has been satisfied);

(d) the balance, if any, to the Partners in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances determined after (i) taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the taxable year during which the dissolution occurs (other than those made pursuant to this Section 10.2(d)) and (ii) revaluing all Partnership property to be distributed to the Partners at its Gross Asset Values in accordance with the rules of Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f).

In the event the Partnership is “liquidated” within the meaning of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) of the Regulations, such amounts shall be distributed by the end of the taxable year in which the liquidation occurs or, if later, within 90 days of such liquidation (the “Timing Requirement”) and no Partner shall have any obligation to restore a deficit in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), no such deficit being considered a debt owed to the Partnership or any other person for any purpose whatsoever.

If the General Partner (or the Liquidating Committee, as the case may be) in its sole discretion determines that the Timing Requirement shall not be met, all or any portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Partners pursuant to Section 10.2 may be distributed to the General Partner (or the Liquidating Committee, as the case may be) in trust for the benefit of the Partners for the purposes of liquidating Partnership assets, collecting amounts owed to the Partnership, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Partners from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the General Partner (or the Liquidating Committee, as the case may be), in the same proportions as the amount distributed to such trust by the Partnership would otherwise have been distributed to the Partners pursuant to this Agreement.

10.3 Accounting. Within a reasonable time following the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership’s properties, the General Partner (or the Liquidation Committee) shall supply to each of the Partners a statement setting forth the assets and the liabilities of the Partnership as of the date of completion of liquidation and each Partner’s pro rata portion of distribution pursuant to Section 10.2.

10.4 Certificate of Cancellation. Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership and the distribution of all Partnership funds, the Partnership shall terminate and the General Partner (or the Liquidation Committee) shall have the authority to execute and file a Certificate of Cancellation of the Partnership as well as any and all other documents required to effectuate the dissolution and termination of the Partnership.

10.5 Right Limited to Partnership Assets. Each Partner shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for all distributions with respect to the Partnership, the return of his or its capital contribution thereto and his or its share of Net Cash Flow and shall have no recourse therefor, upon dissolution or otherwise, against any other Partner except as provided i the last paragraph of Section 10.2. No Partner shall have any right to demand or receive property other than cash upon dissolution and termination of the Partnership. Promptly upon complete liquidation of the Partnership, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to prepare and furnish to each Partner a statement showing the manner in which the Partnership’s assets were distributed.
