6.2 ADDITIONAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS.
A. During the Construction Period, S/C Orlando, Chelsea and Simon

determined by the General Partner, any and all amounts (in addition to
the initial capital contribution reflected in Section 6.1) required by
the Partnership to pay all costs of the work to be undertaken and/or
completed in connection with the development of the Project
(including, without limitation, the purchase of the Land, and the
payment by the Partnership of costs of the Project to the extent
reflected in the Development Budget) in excess of all funds then
available to the Partnership in the form of a loan, which
contributions shall be divided among them pro rata in accordance with
their respective Percentage Interests.
B. During the Operating Period of the Project, in the event
additional funds are required to operate the Project in accordance
with expenditures delineated in one or more Budgets or for other
purposes identified by the General Partner, S/C Orlando, Chelsea and
Simon shall be obligated to contribute, from time to time, and as

6.3 PAYMENT OF CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS. From and after the effective
date of this Agreement if Capital Contributions are required pursuant to this
Article, the General Partner shall provide Notice to Chelsea and Simon of the
amount required by the Partnership to pay all costs described in this Article
falling due within the next month. Each of the Partners shall, within ten (10)
calendar days (time being of the essence) after the receipt of such notice,
deposit by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds into the
Partnership's bank account, the capital contribution specified in the Notice to
be credited to the contributing Partner's Capital Account.
6.4 DEFAULT CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS.
A. If a Partner (a "Non-Funding Partner") fails to fund any
Capital Contributions required of it within the time period specified
and such failure continues for a period in excess of (10) days (an
"Initial Uncured Default"), then the General Partner shall promptly
send Notice to the other Partners of such failure and the remaining
Partners ("Funding Partners ") shall be entitled to fund all or any
portion of such Capital Contribution required of the Non-Funding
Partner. If the Funding Partners make such Capital Contributions
("Default Capital Contributions"), the Partnership Interest of each
Partner shall thereupon be recalculated as set forth below. The
Funding Partner is hereby constituted and appointed as
attorney-in-fact, such appointment being coupled with an interest, to
execute, acknowledge and deliver all instruments and documents
necessary to effect such recalculation of Percentage Interests as
herein provided.
1. The recalculation of the Percentage Interests on the
Percentage Interest Adjustment Date shall be done as follows:
First, the total amount of Capital Contributions made by each
Partner as of the Percentage Interest Adjustment Date shall be
calculated. Second, the Non-Funding Partner's Percentage Interest
shall be reduced, and the Funding Partner's Percentage Interest
shall be increased, to reflect each Partner's percentage of the
total contributions made by both Partners as of the Percentage
Interest Adjustment Date.
2. The Adjusted Percentage Interests of the Partners shall
be expressed in terms of a decimal rounded to the nearest fourth
digit. An example illustrating the operation of this provision is
attached hereto as EXHIBIT C.
a. If due to the operation of this SECTION 6.4(A) a
Non-Funding Partner's Initial Percentage Interest is
diluted, the other Partner shall have the right and option
for a period of 60 days after such dilution occurs to
purchase the Non-Funding Partner's interest in the
Partnership at a price equal to the total amount of cash
capital contributions which had been contributed to the
Partnership by the Non-Funding Partner at that point in
time, less the amount of any distributions of Net Ordinary
Cash Flow or proceeds from a Major Capital Event previously
made to the Non-Funding Partner.
b. In order to elect to purchase the interest in the
Partnership of a Non-Funding Partner pursuant to this
SECTION 6.4(A), the Funding Partner shall send written
notice of election to the Non-Funding Partner prior to
expiration of such 60-day period. In the event a Funding
Partner elects to purchase a Non-Funding Partner's interest,
such election pursuant to this SECTION 6.4(A) shall create a
binding contract for the purchase and sale of the
Non-Funding Partner's interest in the Partnership. The
closing of such purchase and sale shall take place at the
office where the principal place of business of the
Partnership is located on the date specified by the Funding
Partner in its election notice which date shall not be less
than 20 days nor more than 60 days following the date of
such notice, unless the Partners agree to a different
mutually acceptable date. The form and substance of the
closing documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Funding Partner and shall consist of an assignment and xxxx
of sale (both with covenants against grantor's acts) from
the Non-Funding Partner to the Funding Partner (or its
nominee or designee), together with such other instruments
and documents as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to
effectuate the sale. The purchase price shall be payable by
federal wire transfer of immediately available funds to an
account designated by the Non-Funding Partner, against
delivery of all the closing documents. At either Partner's
request, the Partnership's bank or the title company which
issued the owner's title policy to the Partnership may be
appointed as escrow agent to receive all closing documents
and the purchase price in escrow in order to make
simultaneous delivery of closing documents and disbursement
of funds at the closing or the next business day thereafter.
The instruments and documents shall be legally sufficient to
convey all of the Non-Funding Partner's interest in the
Partnership (and the Project) to the Funding Partner (or its
nominee or designee), free and clear of all deeds of trust,
security interests, liens, charges and encumbrances. The
provisions of this SECTION 6.4(A) shall be enforceable by a
decree of specific performance and neither Partner shall
assert in defense thereto that there exists an adequate
remedy at law.
B.Contribution Loans.
1. If either Partner (a "Non-Contributing Partner") fails to
make any additional capital contribution within the time
specified in SECTION 6.4(A) and such failure continues for a
period of thirty (30) days after an Initial Uncured Default, the
other Partner who makes the requested contribution of additional
capital (the "Contributing Partner") shall have the right but not
the obligation to advance directly to the Partnership the funds
required from the Non-Contributing Partner as a loan
("Contribution Loan") to the Non-Contributing Partner. If and
when a Contribution Loan is made, the Non-Contributing Partner
shall be deemed to have waived the right to make the requested
capital contribution as of the date of such loan. Such
Contribution Loan shall bear interest, compounded annually, at a
rate equal to the Prime Rate plus four (4) percentage points per
annum. Contribution Loans may be prepaid by the Non-Contributing
Partner at any time after the date the Contribution Loan is made.
If not repaid by the Non-Contributing Partner, the Contribution
Loan shall be repaid pursuant to SECTION 6.4(C) or other
applicable provisions of this Agreement, but otherwise shall be
and remain a recourse obligation of the Non-Contributing Partner.
2. If the Contributing Partner does not elect to advance the
full amount of the additional funds required from the
Non-Contributing Partner, the Contributing Partner may withdraw
its additional capital contribution.
3. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, if as of the date which is one hundred eighty (180)
days after the making of a Contribution Loan, such Contribution
Loan shall not have been paid in full, the Contributing Partner
shall have the right for a period of sixty (60) days to have such
Contribution Loan (or the portion thereof remaining unpaid)
converted on the books of the Partnership to a capital
contribution by the Contributing Partner, in which event the
Percentage Interest of the Non-Contributing Partner shall be
adjusted and recalculated in accordance with SECTION 6.4(A) of
this Agreement, and the Contributing Partner shall be entitled to
exercise all rights and remedies thereunder, including without
limitation the purchase option described in SECTION 6.4(A). In
order to elect to convert a Contribution Loan to a capital
contribution pursuant to this SECTION 6.4(B), the Contributing
Partner shall send written notice of election to the
Non-Contributing Partner prior to the expiration of such 60-day
period.
4. The rights set forth in this SECTION 6.4(B) are in lieu
of the exercise of rights set forth in SECTION 6.4(A) and may not
be exercised in addition to such rights.
C. Repayment through Distributions. A Contribution Loan shall be
repaid on a first priority basis out of any subsequent distributions
to which the Non-Contributing Partner for whose account the
Contribution Loan was made would otherwise be entitled in accordance
with this Agreement, which amounts shall be applied first to accrued
interest and then to principal, until the Contribution Loan is paid in
full. Each Non-Contributing Partner irrevocably assigns its rights to
distributions from the Partnership to the Contributing Member for the
purpose of effectuating this repayment. Repayment of either Partner's
Contribution Loan shall also be secured by the Non-Contributing
Partner's Percentage Interest in the Partnership, and the
Non-Contributing Partner hereby grants a security interest in such
Percentage Interest and all distributions related thereto to the
Contributing Partner who has advanced such Contribution Loan and
hereby irrevocably appoints the Contributing Partner, and any of its
agents, officers or employees, as its attorney-in-fact, such
appointment being coupled with an interest, to execute, acknowledge
and deliver any documents, instruments and agreements including, but
not limited to, any note evidencing the Contribution Loan, and such
Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, continuation statements,
and other security instruments or documents as may be appropriate to
perfect and continue such security interest in favor of the
Contributing Partner.
D. Transferees and Assignees. If there shall be a Transfer of
part of the Percentage Interest of either Partner pursuant to ARTICLE
11 below to an Affiliate of such Partner, all of the calculations
necessary at any time or from time to time under this SECTION 6.4
shall be made without regard to any such partial Transfer. Any
dilution of the Percentage Interest of either Partner pursuant to this
SECTION 6.4 shall be made effective against the aggregate Percentage
Interest of the Transferor and any Affiliate Transferee of which the
Partnership has been notified or, failing any such agreement, or
notice thereof, as the Funding Partner, acting on behalf of the
Partnership, may elect. It is the intent and agreement of the Partners
that all of the rights and obligations hereunder, including without
limitation participation in management, rights to give or receive
notices and contribution obligations, and the various consequences
arising from the failure of a Partner to make a required capital
contribution to the Partnership hereunder are to be interpreted and
applied as if Chelsea and any Chelsea Affiliate that owns a part of
its Percentage Interest, on the one hand, and Simon and any Simon
Affiliate that owns a part of its Percentage Interest, on the other,
is a single entity having a Percentage Interest in an amount equal to
the aggregate Percentage Interests owned by such Partner and its
respective Transferees.
E. Role in Management. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, including without limitation ARTICLE 9
hereof, a Non-Funding Partner or Non-Contributing Partner and any
Affiliate thereof which is a member of the General Partner
(hereinafter, a "Defaulting Partner") shall thereafter have no further
approval rights, right to make decisions or role in management of the
Partnership until such funding or contribution default has been cured.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Funding or Contributing Partner
shall have the right to terminate any Management Agreement and/or
Development Agreement with any Affiliate of the Defaulting Partner as
set forth in the Management Agreement and the Development Agreement,
respectively, (ii) the Non-Defaulting Partner shall have the right to
apply any fees payable to the Defaulting Partner or its Affiliate in
accordance with this Agreement to any amounts owed by the Defaulting
Partner, (iii) the Non-Defaulting Partner shall have the right to make
all decisions of the Partnership and the Partner, and (iv) no
Defaulting Partner shall have the right to initiate the buy-sell
procedure pursuant to SECTION 10.6 hereof.
F. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.4,
in the event that either of Chelsea's or Simon's Affiliates, in its
capacity as a member of S/C Orlando, shall fail to meet any monetary
obligation pursuant to the General Partner Agreement, such failure
shall constitute Chelsea or Simon (or its Affiliate) a "Defaulting
Partner" pursuant to Section 6.4 (A) hereof to the same extent as if
such Partner had failed to fund a Capital Contribution required of it
hereunder. Similarly, a failure to meet a monetary obligation
hereunder by Chelsea or Simon shall also constitute such party or its
Affiliate a "Non-Funding Member" pursuant to Section 5.4 of the
General Partner Agreement.
6.5 AMOUNTS INCURRED TO FUND CONSTRUCTION OVERAGES.
A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein if
during the Construction Period amounts have been, or will be, incurred
in excess of an Approved Budget, and any Partner refuses to fund its
pro rata share of the excess, the other Partner may fund such excess
as necessary to permit the Partnership to pay its debts, meet its
obligations when due and complete construction of the Project. If a
modification to Budget is subsequently Approved or an arbitrator or
court having jurisdiction over the Partnership and/or the Project
determines that the excess (and the proposed modification to the
Budget) is reasonable and must be funded, then that portion of the
excess which the Non-Funding Partner and its Affiliate(s) are
obligated to contribute (and which the Funding Partner previously
funded) shall be treated as a Contribution Loan by the Partner to the
Non-Funding Partner pursuant to Section 6.4(b) and interest shall
accrue from the date funds were advanced by the remaining Partner on
behalf of the Partnership In addition, the Funding Partner shall be
entitled to all other rights set forth in or elsewhere in this
Agreement with respect to the making of a Contribution Loan. If it is
subsequently determined that the excess and the proposed modification
to Budget is not reasonable, then the excess funded by the Funding
Partner shall not be credited to the Capital Account of such Partner
and the Funding Partner shall not be entitled to any allocation of Net
Profit or distribution of Cash Flow by virtue of same.
B. If, during the Operating Period, either Partner disputes the
need for any additional capital contributions required pursuant to
SECTION 6.2, pending the resolution of such dispute, the Partner
disputing the need for additional capital shall nevertheless
contribute additional capital within the time period specified in
SECTION 6 and the General Partner shall hold the contributions of both
Partners in an interest-bearing account, or shall otherwise invest
such contributions as Approved by the Partners separate from other
cash deposits of the Partnership until such dispute is resolved;
provided, however, that during such Operating Period, the Partnership
shall have the right to use the Partners' contributions to the extent
necessary, to permit the Partnership to pay its debts and to meet its
obligations when due. If and to the extent that it is ultimately
determined that such additional capital contributions were not
required, the previously identified contribution less each Partner's
proportionate share (based on such Partner's Initial Percentage
Interest) of any portion of the Partner's contributed capital which
was expended in accordance with the foregoing, shall be promptly
refunded to each Partner, together with a proportionate share of
interest, if any, earned thereon while on deposit with the
Partnership.
6.6 LIABILITY OF LIMITED PARTNERS. Except as otherwise provided for
herein, no Limited Partner (in its capacity as a Limited Partner) shall be
required under any circumstances to contribute to the capital of the Partnership
any amount beyond that sum required of the Limited Partner pursuant to this
Article 6, nor shall any Partner be obligated to lend any funds to the
Partnership.
6.7 NO INTEREST ON CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION. Except as otherwise provided
for herein, no interest shall accrue or be payable to any Partner by reason of
its Capital Contribution or its Capital Account.
6.8 WITHDRAWAL OF CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS. A Partner shall not be
entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Account or to receive any
distributions (property or cash) except as specifically provided in this
Agreement, and in no event will any Partner have the right to receive property
other than cash in return for any contributions to the capital of the
Partnership. The General Partner shall not have any personal liability
whatsoever with respect to the return to any Partner of its Capital Account.
6.9 MAINTENANCE OF CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. The Capital Accounts of the
Partners shall be maintained in a manner consistent with applicable Regulations
and shall be adjusted as follows:
A. There shall be credited to each Partner's Capital Account (i)
the amount of any cash (which shall not include imputed or actual
interest on any deferred contributions) actually contributed by such
Partner to the capital of the Partnership, (ii) the fair market value
of any property contributed by such Partner to the capital of the
Partnership (net of any liabilities secured by such property that the
Partnership is considered to assume or take subject to under Code
Section 752), and (iii) such Partner's share of the Net Profits of the
Partnership and of any items in the nature of income or gain
separately allocated to the Partners; and there shall be charged
against each Partner's Capital Account (x) the amount of all cash
distributions to such Partner by the Partnership, (y) the fair market
value of any property distributed to such Partner by the Partnership
(net of any liability secured by such property that the Partner is
considered to assume or take subject to under Code Section 752), and
(z) such Partner's share of the Net Losses of the Partnership and of
any items in the nature of losses or deductions separately allocated
to the Partners.
B. If the Partnership at any time distributes any of its assets
in kind to any Partner, the Capital Account of each Partner shall be
adjusted to account for such Partner's allocable share of the Net
Profits or Net Losses that would have been realized by the Partnership
had it sold the assets that were distributed at their respective fair
market values immediately prior to the distribution.
C. In the event that the Partnership makes an election under Code
Section 754, the amounts of any adjustments to the bases (or Carrying
Values) of the assets of the Partnership made pursuant to Code Section
743 shall not be reflected in the Capital Accounts of the Partners,
but the amounts of any adjustments to the bases (or Carrying Values)
of the assets of the Partnership made pursuant to Code Section 734 as
a result of the distribution of property by the Partnership to a
Partner (to the extent that such adjustments have not previously been
reflected in the Partners' Capital Accounts) shall be reflected in the
Capital Accounts of the Partners in the manner prescribed in the
Regulations.
D. The Partners shall elect, upon the occurrence of any of the
following events, that the Capital Account balance of each Partner
shall be adjusted to reflect the Partner's allocable share of the Net
Profits or Net Losses that would be realized by the Partnership if it
sold all of its property at its fair market value on the day of the
adjustment:
1. Any increase in any new or existing Partner's Partnership
Interest resulting from a more than DE MINIMIS contribution of
cash or property by such Partner to the Partnership; and
2. Any reduction in a Partner's Partnership Interest
resulting from a more than DE MINIMIS distribution to such
Partner in redemption of all or a portion of such Partner's
Partnership Interest.
E. In the event any Partnership Interest is transferred in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall
succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it
relates to the transferred Partnership Interest.
F. In the event the Regulations fall to provide guidance for the
maintenance of the Capital Accounts of Partners in particular
instances, then the Capital Accounts shall be adjusted by the
Partners, with the review and concurrence of the Partnership's tax
advisors, in a manner that (i) maintains equality between the
aggregate Capital Accounts of the Partners and the amount of
Partnership capital reflected on the Partnership's financial books and
records, (ii) is consistent with the underlying economic arrangement
among the Partners and (iii) is based, whenever practicable, upon
federal tax accounting principles.
6.10 NO THIRD PARTY BENEFIT. No provision set forth in this Article 6
shall be construed to be for the benefit of any third party, including without
limitation, any creditor of the Partnership, and no such third party or creditor
shall be entitled to enforce any such provision.
ARTICLE 7 - ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
7.1 GENERAL ALLOCATION OF NET PROFITS AND NET LOSSES. After giving
effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 7.2, all Net Profits and
Net Losses (and to the extent necessary, as set forth in clauses (A) and (B) of
this Section 7.1, items of gross income, gain, expense and loss) of the
Partnership shall be allocated to the Partners as follows:
A. If the Partnership has Net Profits for any taxable year
(determined prior to giving effect to this clause (A), each Partner
whose Partially Adjusted Capital Account is greater than its Target
Capital Account shall be allocated items of Partnership expense or
loss for such taxable year equal to the difference between its
Partially Adjusted Capital Account and Target Capital Account. If the
Partnership has insufficient items of expense or loss for such taxable
year to satisfy the previous sentence with respect to all such
Partners, the available items of expense or loss shall be divided
among such Partners in proportion to such difference.
B. If the Partnership has Net Losses for any taxable year
(determined prior to giving effect to this clause (B), each Partner
whose Partially Adjusted Capital Account is less than its Target
Capital Account shall be allocated items of Partnership gain or income
for such taxable year equal to the difference between its Partially
Adjusted Capital Account and Target Capital Account. If the
Partnership has insufficient items of income or gain for such taxable
year to satisfy the previous sentence with respect to all such
Partners, the available items of income or gain shall be divided among
such Partners in proportion to such difference.
C. Any remaining Net Profits or Net Losses (as computed after
giving effect to clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 7.1) shall be
allocated among the Partners so as to reduce, proportionately, the
differences between their respective Partially Adjusted Capital
Accounts and Target Capital Accounts for the period under
consideration. To the extent possible, each Partner shall be allocated
a pro rata share of all Partnership items allocated pursuant to this
clause (C).
7.2 OVERRIDING ALLOCATIONS OF NET PROFITS AND NET LOSSES. The
following allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses and items
thereof shall be made before applying Section 7.1 hereof:
A. If in any year there is a net decrease in the amount of the
Minimum Gain computed solely with respect to Nonrecourse Debt other
than Partner Nonrecourse Debt, then each Partner shall be allocated
items of income and gain (consisting first of gains recognized from
the disposition of Partnership Property subject to one or more
Nonrecourse Debts other than Partner Nonrecourse Debts and then, if
necessary, a pro rara portion of the Partnership's other items of
income and gain for that year) for that year (and, if necessary,
subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Partner's share of the
net decease in Partnership Minimum Gain within the meaning of
Regulation Section 1.7042)(2). It is the intent of the parties that
any allocations pursuant to this Section 0 shall constitute a "Minimum
Gain Chargeback" under Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be
interpreted consistently thereunder.
B. If in any year there is a net decrease in the amount of the
Partner Minimum Gain computed solely with respect to Partner
Nonrecourse Debt, then each Partner shall be allocated items of income
and gain (consisting first of gain from the disposition of Partnership
Property subject to Partner Nonrecourse Debt and then, if necessary, a
pro rata portion of the Partnership's other items of income and gain
for that year) for that year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in
an amount and in a manner consistent with the provisions of Regulation
Section 1.704-2(i)(4). It is the intent of the parties that any
allocations pursuant to this Section 0 shall constitute a "Chargeback
of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain" under Regulation Section
1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently thereunder.
C. If, during any year, a Partner unexpectedly receives any
adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulation Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), and as a result of such
adjustment, allocation or distribution, such Partner's Capital Account
has an Excess Negative Balance, then items of gross income (computed
with the adjustments set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of the
definition of Net Profits and Net Losses) for such year (and, if
necessary, subsequent years) shall first be allocated to such Partner
in an amount equal to such Partner's Excess Negative Balance. It is
the intent of the parties that any allocations pursuant to this
Section 0 shall constitute a "qualified income offset" provision under
Regulation Section l.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted
consistently thereunder.
D. Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal
Year shall be specially allocated among the Partners in proportion to
their Percentage Interests.
E. In no event shall Net Losses of the Partnership be allocated to
a Partner if such allocation would cause or increase an Excess
Negative Balance in such Partner's Capital Account. Any such Net
Losses shall be allocated to the Partners who bear the economic risk
of such Net Losses.
F. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse
Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the
Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the
Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions
are attributable in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).
G. In the event that Net Profits, Net Losses or items thereof are
allocated to one or more Partners pursuant to Sections 7.2(A) through
7.2(F) above, subsequent Net Profits and Net Losses shall first be
allocated (subject to the provisions of Sections 7.2(A), 7.2(B),
7.2(C), 7.2(D) and 7.2(E) to the Partners in a manner designed to
result in each Partner having a Capital Account balance equal to what
it would have been had the original allocation of Net Profits, Net
Losses or items thereof pursuant to Sections 7.2(A) through 7.2 (E)
hereof not occurred.
H. Except as otherwise provided herein, for tax purposes, all
items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be allocated to
the Partners in the same manner as are Net Profits and Net Losses;
provided, however, that if the Carrying Value of any property of the
Partnership differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes, then
items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit related to such
property for tax purposes shall be allocated among the Partners so as
to take account of the variation between the adjusted basis of the
property for tax purposes and its Carrying Value in the manner
provided for under Code Section 704(c).
I. Solely for purposes of determining a Partner's proportionate
share of the "excess nonrecourse liabilities" of the Partnership
within the meaning of regulation Section 1 .752-3(a)(3), the Partners'
interests in the Partnership profits are in proportion to their
respective Partnership Interests.
7.3 SECTION 754 AND OTHER ELECTIONS. In the event of a transfer of all

that any Contribution Loans shall not be regarded as loans to the
Partnership and shall be repaid on a first priority basis out of
any Cash Flow to which the Non-Contributing Partner for whose
account the Contribution Loan was made would otherwise be
entitled to in accordance with Section 7.7(A)(2) of this
Agreement, which amounts shall be applied first to accrued
interest and then to principal, until the Contribution Loan is
paid in full, and
2. Second, the balance in proportion to the Partners'
respective Partnership Interests.
B. Amounts distributed pursuant to the preceding sub-paragraphs
shall be paid on a quarterly basis, within fifteen (15) days of the

loans made by any Partner to the Partnership in accordance with
this Agreement, provided, however, that any Contribution Loans
shall not be regarded as loans to the Partnership and shall be
repaid on a first priority basis out of any capital proceeds to
which the Non-Contributing Member for whose account the
Contribution Loan was made would otherwise be entitled to in
accordance with SECTIONS 7.8(A)2 through 7.8(A)3 of this
Agreement, which amounts shall be applied first to accrued
interest and then to principal, until the Contribution Loan is
paid in full;
2. Second, to the Partners to the extent of and in
proportion to their Capital Contribution Balances, and

cumulative basis under Section 7.8, hereof are less than the amount
such Partner would be entitled to receive if all such distributions
had been made following the redetermination and adjustment of
Partnership Interests pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, the net proceeds
which would otherwise be distributed to the Defaulting Partner(s)
shall be distributed first to the Non-Defaulting Partner(s), until
such Non-Defaulting Partners have received all net proceeds to which
they are entitled in accordance with such readjusted Partnership
Interests, and any remaining net proceeds shall be distributed to the
Partner(s) in proportion to their respective Partnership Interests.
7.9 DISTRIBUTION OF COST SAVINGS. If the net proceeds of the Permanent
Loan (after payment of all closing costs, brokerage fees and similar items)
exceed the then outstanding principal amount of the Construction Loan plus all

Partners, in proportion to their respective Partnership Interests. Any amounts
otherwise distributable pursuant to this Section 7.9 shall be reduced by a

registration under applicable federal and state securities laws
nor violates federal or state securities, "blue sky" or similar
law;
5. Such transfer, together with all other sales or transfers
of Partnership Interests within the preceding twelve (12) months
will not result in a termination of the Partnership pursuant to
Section 708 of the Code; and

11.3 THIRD PARTY OFFERS TO CHELSEA, SIMON OR S/C ORLANDO.
A. FIRST REFUSAL NOTICE. Except as provided in SECTION 11.2, if,
subsequent to the date which is 6 (six) full calendar years after the
Project Completion Date, either Simon or Chelsea desires to sell all
of its and its Affiliates' Percentage Interest in the Partnership it
shall give written notice (the "First Refusal Notice") of such
intention to the other Partner (the Partner issuing the First Refusal
Notice is hereinafter called the "Offeror" and the Partner receiving
the First Refusal Notice is hereinafter called the "Offeree"). The
First Refusal Notice shall set forth (i) the price (the "Refusal
Price") and terms upon which the Offeror has received a bona-fide,
third party, arms-length offer (the "Bona Fide Offer") to purchase
such Percentage Interest (the Percentage Interest in the Partnership
subject to the First Refusal Notice is hereinafter called the "Subject
Interest") subject to all liabilities of the Partnership as of that
date, (ii) a copy of such third-party offer, and (iii) the name and
address of the proposed purchaser, provided, that the Offeror shall
deal with only one such Purchaser at a time. The Refusal Price set
forth therein must be payable with cash consideration only, although,
at the Offeror's election, payment of portions of such cash
consideration may be deferred and paid, with interest, in one or more
installments after closing. Moreover, in furtherance of SECTION
11.3(E) below, so as to avoid a termination of the Company for federal
income tax purposes pursuant to Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code the
First Refusal Notice must propose a structure for the sale of the
Subject Interest so that the sale when combined with previous sales
will not cause there to be a sale or exchange of more than a
forty-nine percent (49%) interest in the Net Profits or capital of the
Partnership in any 12-month period, or, alternatively to fairly
compensate the Offeree for the cost (including loss of benefits and/or
increased taxes) of any such tax termination. Any First Refusal Notice
providing for non-cash consideration, in whole or in part, (except as
permitted in this SECTION 11.3(A)) or a sale that would cause a
combined sale or exchange of more than a forty-nine percent (49%)
interest in any 12-month period (except as permitted in this SECTION
11.3(A)) shall not be effective to institute the First Refusal
procedures. If the First Refusal Notice provides that payment of a
portion of the Refusal Price is to be deferred, then the required
collateral for such deferred payment shall be described in the First
Refusal Notice and shall be the Subject Interest to be purchased
and/or a certificate of deposit, irrevocable stand-by letter of
credit, or other type of collateral which is generally available,
liquid, and not unique. Such First Refusal Notice shall constitute an
offer by the Offeror to sell to the Offeree the Subject Interest
specified in the First Refusal Notice for such price and terms,
exclusive of any brokerage or similar commission provided for therein.
Except as otherwise provided herein, neither Simon nor Chelsea may
give the First Refusal Notice during the Construction Period, or for
six (6) years after the Project Completion Date.
B. ELECTION BY OFFEREE. For a period of thirty (30) days
following the date of receipt by the Offeree of the First Refusal
Notice (the "First Refusal Period"), the Offeree shall have the option
to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Subject Interest
specified in the First Refusal Notice for the price and on the terms
stated in the First Refusal Notice. In the alternative the Offeree
shall have the option to sell its entire Percentage Interest in the
Partnership to the Purchaser as set forth in subparagraph (D) hereof.
If the Offeree elects to purchase the Subject Interest it must notify
the Offeror in writing (the "First Refusal Exercise Notice") within
said 30-day period, and such notice must be accompanied by a First
Refusal Deposit (defined below). If the Offeree fails to send a First
Refusal Exercise Notice or to deliver a First Refusal Deposit within
said 30-day period it shall be deemed to have elected not to purchase.
"First Refusal Deposit" shall mean an amount equal to 5% of the price
set forth in the First Refusal Notice.
C. CLOSING.
1. If the Offeree elects to so purchase the Subject
Interest, the transfer of the Subject Interest specified in the
First Refusal Notice from the Offeror to the Offeree shall be
closed and consummated in the principal office of the Company at
11:00 a.m., local time, on the sixtieth (60th) day following the
date of the First Refusal Exercise Notice (or if such date is not
a business day, the business day next following such day), or on
such earlier day as may be selected by the Offeree. At the
closing, the Offeree shall deliver to the Offeror (i) such
portion of the Refusal Price which is payable at closing in
accordance with the terms of the First Refusal Notice in cash
(U.S. dollars) by wire transfer representing immediately
available Federal Reserve System funds and (ii) the promissory
note and the applicable security instruments, if any, required by
the First Refusal Notice. Simultaneously with the receipt of such
payment, the Offeror shall deliver the Subject Interest to the
Offeree free and clear of all liens, security interests and
competing claims (other than security interests granted in favor
of the Offeree to secure any Contribution Loans made by the
Offeree on behalf of the Offeror and not fully credited as
hereinafter provided) and shall deliver to the Offeree such
instruments of transfer and such evidence of due authorization,
execution and delivery and of the absence of any such liens,
security interests or competing claims as the Offeree shall
reasonably request. The Refusal Price paid at closing shall be
reduced by the amount of any outstanding Contribution Loans made
by the Offeree to the Offeror, together with all accrued interest
thereon and the costs (including loss of benefits and/or
increased taxes), if any, associated with any termination under
Section 708(b) (1) (B) of the Code caused by the transfer.
2. If, by virtue of the election of the Offeree to purchase
any Subject Interest in accordance with the provisions of this
SECTION 11.3, the holder of any loan to the Partnership under
which the Offeror or any of its Affiliates has personal liability
has the right to, and notifies the Partnership of its intent to
accelerate the loan, it shall be a condition to the closing that
the Offeree repay such loan (plus any deferred and accrued and
unpaid interest thereon and any required prepayment premium
and/or yield maintenance fees), or have the Offeror and its
Affiliates as applicable, released from personal liability for
payment of the loan and any guaranty thereof by a written
instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Offeror, at the closing
of the sale of such Subject Interest.
D. SALE OF PROJECT TO THIRD PARTY.
1. During the First Refusal Period, the Offeree shall also
have the option to sell its entire Percentage Interest in the
Partnership and (y) the interest of any Affiliate in the General
Partner (collectively the "Entire Interest") to the Purchaser. If
the Offeree elects to sell its Entire Interest to the Purchaser,
it must notify the Offeror in writing (the "Sale Notice") within
the First Refusal Period. If Offeree fails to send a Sale Notice
within said time 30-day period, it shall be deemed to have
elected not to sell its Entire Interest.
2. If the Offeree elects to sell its Entire Interest, the
Offeror shall proceed to consummate a sale of both the Subject
Interest, any interest held by an Affiliate of the Offeror in the
General Partner and the Offeree's Entire Interest (the entire
Project) to the Purchaser at a purchase price equal to the
product of (i) the Refusal Price and (ii) the quotient resulting
from the division of (x) one (1) by (y) the percentage interest
in the Partnership represented by the Subject Interest, subject
to all liabilities of the Partnership as of the date of the First
Refusal Notice. For example, if the Refusal Price for the
Offeror's Percentage Interest is $1,000,000 and the Subject
Interest equals 50%, then the entire Project may be sold at a
purchase price equal to $2,000,000 ($1,000,000 times 1.00/.50).
The purchase price shall be payable as set forth in Section
11.3(a); provided however, that if a portion of the purchase
price is to be deferred, then the required collateral for such
deferred payment shall be a first mortgage on the Project and/or
a certificate of deposit, irrevocable stand-by letter of credit
or other type of collateral which is generally available, liquid
and not unique and no more than 50% of the purchase price may be
deferred. The form of the contract of sale shall be subject to
the reasonable approval of the Offeree, and the contract shall be
executed, and close, within the time frames, identified in
Subparagraph (e)(i) of this section. If the holder of any loan to
the Partnership under which a Partner or Partners or Affiliates
have personal liability has the right to and notifies the
Partnership of its intent to accelerate the loan, it shall be a
condition to the closing that the Purchaser repay such loan and
obtain releases from the lender of any guaranties given in
connection therewith. Costs incurred in connection with the
drafting and negotiation of the contract of sale (excluding,
however, costs incurred by the Offeree in commenting on same) and
any conveyance, transfer or similar taxes payable in connection
with the closing shall be expenses of the Partnership.
E. SALE OF SUBJECT INTEREST TO THIRD PARTY.
1. If the Offeree fails to exercise its right to purchase
the Subject Interest, or if the Offeree exercises its right to
purchase but through no fault of the Offeror subsequently fails
to purchase the Subject Interest within the time specified, or
the Offeree fails to offer to sell its entire Percentage Interest
to the Purchaser, then the Offeror shall have the right, for four
(4) months after the expiration of the First Refusal Period, to
obtain a bona fide, binding contract for the sale of such Subject
Interest to the third party which is identified as the
prospective purchaser in the First Refusal Notice, so long as
such third party is not an Affiliate of the Offeror (a
"Purchaser") for a price and on terms and conditions consistent
with SECTION 11.3(A) which are no less favorable to the Offeror
than those stated in the First Refusal Notice, except that any
such contract must provide for a closing of the purchase and sale
of such Subject Interest within sixty (60) days after the date of
such contract; PROVIDED, that if the Offeree fails to purchase
the Offeror's Subject Interest in breach of a commitment by the
Offeree to do so the Offeror shall have, as its sole remedy, the
right to retain the First Refusal Deposit as liquidated damages
and not as a penalty, and in addition thereto the above
four-month limitation on the Offeror's rights to obtain a binding
contract with a third party shall be extended to six (6) months.
2. In the event the Offeror proposes to consummate a sale of
the Subject Interest to the Purchaser identified pursuant to
SECTION 11.3(A) hereof within the time specified and in a manner
otherwise consistent with the requirements of SECTIONS 11.3(D)(1)
above, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to any benefits or
rights under this Agreement unless and until:
a. The Offeree shall reasonably approve the form and
content of the instruments of transfer;
b. The Purchaser in writing accepts and adopts all of
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as the same may
have been amended, including, without limitation, the
restrictions on transfer set forth in SECTION 11.2, and
acknowledges that the Offeror's rights under this SECTION
11.3 are transferable, but shall not be available for a
period of two (2) years, to such Purchaser;
c. The Offeror or the Purchaser, as the case may be,
pays all debts of the Offeror then due and payable to the
Partnership or to the Offeree (including interest accrued
thereon) and all capital contributions then due and payable
by the Offeror to the Partnership;
d. The Offeror or the Purchaser pays all reasonable
expenses incurred by the Offeree from the date the Offeree
last declines to purchase the Subject Interest through the
date on which the Subject Interest is transferred to the
Purchaser, including, without limitation, legal and
accounting fees, and pays all costs incurred by the
Partnership as the result of such transfer, including,
without limitation, real or personal property transfer
taxes, if any, imposed on the Partnership by virtue of the
transfer and the cost of preparing and filing any and all
tax returns which are required to be filed as a result of
such sale; and
e. If required by the Offeree, the Purchaser delivers
an opinion of counsel to the Partnership, which counsel and
opinion are satisfactory to the Offeree, that an exemption
from registration or qualification under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and under all applicable statutes,
rules or laws of any state which may be applicable thereto
is available.
3. In the event the Offeror is an Affiliate of the operating
member of the General Partner and/or an Affiliate of the manager
under the Management Agreement, the non-operating member shall
have the right to become the operating member and the manager
under the Management Agreement (or to have an Affiliate become
the manager) upon sale of the Subject Interest by giving notice
of exercise to the Offeror.
F. REINSTATEMENT OF FIRST REFUSAL PROCEDURE. In the event the
Offeror fails within the time specified in SECTION 11.3(D) OR SECTION
11.3(E), AS APPLICABLE, to consummate such proposed sale, through no
fault of the Offeree, the Offeror shall reimburse the Offeree for its
above-described costs and shall, prior to any subsequent proposed sale
of the Subject Interest be required to extend to the Offeree, and the
Offeree shall have, the rights of First Refusal set forth in this
SECTION 11.3. Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, any
sale, assignment or other transfer by a Partner of its Percentage
Interest or any portion thereof in violation of the restrictions and
procedures set forth in this SECTION 11.3 shall be void.
G. RELATIONSHIP TO BUY-SELL. Neither Chelsea nor Xxxxx xxx invoke
the provisions of this Section 11.3 during any period when the
buy/sell option described in Section 11.4 hereof has been invoked but
closing thereunder has not yet occurred.
H. OFFER BY MEMBER TO MEMBER. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 11.3, from and after the Project Completion
Date, Chelsea and Simon shall have the right to make offers to the
other for the purchase and sale of all or any portion of their
respective Partnership Interests. Such offers shall not be subject to
the First Right of Refusal Procedure and the party receiving same
shall not be obligated to take any action with respect thereto.
11.4 BUY-SELL
A. Except as hereinafter set forth, at any time following the
date which is six full calendar (6) years after the Project Completion
Date, either Partner (the "Offeror"), provided such Partner is not
then a Defaulting Partner, may by giving the other Partner (the
"Offeree") written notice (the "Sale Notice") implement the sale
procedures which are set forth in this SECTION 11.4. The Offeror must
offer the Entire Interest as previously defined in SECTION 11.3(D).
Prior to implementing the sale procedures, the Partner wishing to
trigger the buy-sell shall first be obligated to notify the other
Partner of its desire to sell its Entire Interest and the Partners
shall thereafter commence good faith discussions to determine whether
or not they mutually agree upon the terms and conditions for the sale
of one Partner's Entire Interest in the Partnership to the other
Partner. If the Partners are unable to agree, then upon the earlier to
occur of thirty (30) days after commencement of discussions or the
date either party notifies the other that it does not want to continue
discussions, the Offeror may deliver the Sale Notice which shall state
the cash price (determined or to be determined as set forth in
subparagraph (E) below) at which the Offeror would be willing to sell
its Entire Interest in the Partnership to the Offeree or to purchase
the Offeree's Entire Interest in the Partnership.
B. Except as hereinafter set forth, no Partner may give the Sale
Notice described in SECTION 11.4(A) during the Construction Period or
for six(6) years after the Project Completion Date.
C. If there is a merger, consolidation, or other business
reorganization of Chelsea or Chelsea, Inc. or Simon, Simon, Inc., SD
Inc., or SPG as a result of which a Change in Control occurs (as
defined in Section 1.15), then the non-merging, non-consolidating or
non-reorganizing Partner may, at its option implement the Buy-Sell
procedures set forth in this Section 11.4 regardless of the period of
time that has elapsed subsequent to the Project Completion Date.
D. If any Partner shall choose to deliver a Sale Notice, upon
receipt of the Sale Notice given and delivered pursuant to SECTION
11.4(A), the Offeree shall be obligated to elect, in accordance with
the provisions of this SECTION 11.4, either to purchase the Offeror's
Entire Interest in the Partnership or to sell its Entire Interest in
the Partnership to the Offeror for cash at the closing described in
SECTION 11.5.
E. The purchase price (the "PURCHASE PRICE") for any purchase and
sale of the Entire Interest in the Partnership of a Partner under this
SECTION 11.4 shall be equal to the cash amount set forth in the Sale
Notice (less the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage,
transfer taxes and prepayment premiums or other amounts payable to the
lender, which amount shall be adjusted for the respective Percentage
Interests of the Partners).
F. The Offeree shall give written notice of its election to the
Offeror within 30 days after receipt of the Offer. Failure of the
Offeree to give notice that such Offeree has elected to purchase the
Offeror's Entire Interest in the Partnership shall be conclusively
deemed to be an election of the Offeree to sell to the Offeror its
Entire Interest in the Partnership.
G. If the holder of any loan to the Partnership under which the
selling Partner or any Affiliate thereof has personal liability, has
the right to, and notifies the Partnership of its intent to accelerate
such loan, it shall be a condition to the closing that the purchasing
Partner repay such loan (plus any deferred and accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and any prepayment premium and/or yield maintenance
fees) at the closing, or have the selling Partner or any Affiliate
thereof released from liability for payment of the loan and any
guarantees made in connection therewith by a written instrument
reasonably satisfactory to the selling Partner, and the failure to do
so will cause such Partner to be a Defaulting Partner. The purchasing
Partner agrees to indemnify the selling Partner and its Affiliates and
hold each of them harmless from and against any damage, loss or
liability to any of them as a result of the indemnifying party's
failure to repay such loan at the closing in accordance with the
provisions hereof. In addition, the selling Partner may, in its sole
and absolute discretion, and without prejudice to any other legal or
equitable remedies it may have, refuse to proceed with the closing
unless simultaneously therewith any such loan is so repaid.
H. The Offeree's election for which notice is given pursuant to
subparagraph (F) shall create a binding contract for the purchase by
Offeree of Offeror's Entire Interest or sale, as the case may be, of
the Offeree's Entire Interest in the Partnership on the terms set
forth in this SECTION 11.4. If the Offeree shall thereafter be in
breach of its obligation to close the purchase or sale in accordance
with such election, such Partner shall be a Defaulting Partner and in
addition to all other rights and remedies herein provided, the Offeror
shall have all remedies at law or in equity. In the event the Offeror
shall be in breach of its obligation to close the purchase or sale
herein provided, then such Partner shall be a Defaulting Partner, and
in addition to all other rights and remedies herein provided, the
Offeree shall have all remedies available in law or at equity.
11.5 CLOSING OF PURCHASE OF A PARTNER'S INTEREST.
A. The closing of any sale of a Partner's interest pursuant to
SECTION 11.4 shall be held at the office where the principal place of
business of the Partnership is located on the 120th day after the
election by the Offeree (unless the Partners agree to a different
mutually acceptable date), unless such 120th day is not a business
day, in which event the closing shall take place on the first business
day following such 120th day. Within 30 days prior to such closing,
there shall be a preliminary closing at which the Partners shall act
diligently and in good faith to agree upon the form and substance of
all documents necessary to effectuate the closing.
B. At the closing, an assignment and, if requested by the
purchasing Partner, a xxxx of sale (both with covenants against
grantor's acts) from the selling Partner to the purchasing Partner of
the selling Partner's Percentage Interest in the Partnership and any
Affiliate's interest in the General Partner, therein, together with
such other instruments and documents as may be reasonably necessary or
desirable to effectuate the sale and transfer to the purchasing
Partner, shall be deposited in escrow under an escrow agreement and
with an escrow agent approved by the Partners, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld. If there is any dispute between the
Partners, any title company which issued a fee title policy to the
Partnership or acted as co-insurer or reinsurer may be designated by
any Partner as the escrow agent. The instruments and documents to be
deposited in escrow at the closing shall be legally sufficient to
convey the selling Partner's interest in the Partnership to the
purchasing Partner, free and clear of all mortgages, deeds of trust,
liens and encumbrances. The purchase price shall be paid to the
selling Partner by federal wire transfer of immediately available
funds to an account designated by the selling Partner.
C. In the event there are any conveyance, transfer or similar
taxes payable as an incident to the conveyances at the preliminary
closing or the closing, such taxes shall be expenses of the
Partnership. In the event that any title insurance company insuring
the title of the Partnership to the Project shall refuse to endorse
its policy of title insurance to reinsure the Partnership's title to
the Project effective immediately after the transfer to the purchasing
Partner without exception other than as set forth in the original
policy of title insurance (other than exceptions for real estate
taxes, rights of tenants in possession, as tenants only, any surviving
deeds of trust, mortgages, liens or charges against the Project, any
easements created by the Partnership and Approved by the Partners, and
any other matter Approved by the Partners at any time or from time to
time), then the assignment from the Offeror to the purchasing Partner
shall contain general warranties of its title to its interest in the
Partnership and the Project.
11.6 ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES.
A. At any closing held pursuant to SECTION 11.5, the purchasing
Partner shall, by a legally enforceable agreement, assume the payment
of all obligations of the Partnership accruing after closing,
including, without limitation, any indebtedness under any lien on the
Project identified in the Offer to the extent that the Partners have
personal liability therefor, and shall further secure the release of
the selling Partner's or any Affiliate's guarantees, if any.
B. If, at the time of the purchase of the selling Partner's
interest, the Project is subject to any mortgage, deed of trust, lien
or charge, other than those which were in existence at the time of the
Sale Notice and used to calculate the Purchase Price, the purchasing
Partner shall discharge, assume, or take subject to such mortgage,
deed of trust, lien or charge and reduce the amount of the Purchase
Price otherwise payable pursuant to SECTION 11.4(D) by the selling
Partner's pro rata share of the amount of money as would be required
to discharge such mortgage, deed of trust, lien or charge (including,
without limitation, any and all prepayment premiums or penalties). In
addition, if such an encumbrance shall have been placed by the selling
Partner in contravention of the terms and provisions of this
Agreement, then the purchasing Partner shall also have all of the
rights provided in SECTION 11.4 with respect to a default by the
selling Partner, and the purchasing Partner shall not be required to
close the purchase and sale of the interest of the selling Partner in
the Partnership.
C. Unless the Sale Notice provides otherwise, if the Project is
damaged by fire or other casualty, or if any party possessing the
right of eminent domain or such similar right shall give notice of an
intention to take or acquire a part of the Project, and such damage
occurs, or such notice is given between the date of the Sale Notice
and the closing, the following shall apply:
1. If the Project is damaged by an insured casualty (or an
uninsured casualty not resulting in significant damage, which for
the purposes of this subsection only shall mean damage the cost
to repair of which would not exceed $1,000,000), or if the taking
or acquisition shall not involve a substantial portion of the
Project resulting in an other than substantial reduction in
income, then the Offeree shall be required to complete the
transaction and accept an assignment of the insurance or
condemnation proceeds, in which case the Purchase Price shall be
reduced by a portion of the uninsured casualty, if any, equal to
the amount of the uninsured casualty multiplied by the selling
Member's Entire Interest, and shall be further reduced by the sum
of all deductible amounts specified under the policies of
insurance multiplied by the selling Member's Entire Percentage
Interest.
2. If the Project is damaged by an uninsured casualty
resulting in significant damage, or if the taking or acquisition
shall or may result in a substantial reduction in the income
producing capacity of the Project, then the purchasing Partner
shall have the option to either (1) accept the Entire Interest in
the Project in an "as is" condition together with any insurance
proceeds, settlements and awards (in which case the Purchase
Price shall be reduced by the sum of all deductible amounts
specified under policies of insurance multiplied by the selling
Partner's Entire Interest), or (2) cancel the purchase.
In the event that the purchase is canceled by the purchasing Partner
in accordance with this SECTION 11.6(C), the terms of this Agreement shall
remain in effect and continue to be binding on the parties.
11.7 CONTINUATION OF PARTNERSHIP UPON GENERAL PARTNER WITHDRAWAL. The
retirement, withdrawal, Bankruptcy, dissolution, death or adjudication of
incompetence of the General Partner shall cause the dissolution of the
Partnership, unless the Partners elect, by unanimous consent (other than the
affected partner or its successor in interest), within ninety (90) days of such
event, to continue the Partnership and the Partnership business. If such
election to continue is made, then (i) the Partnership shall not be dissolved;
(ii) the Partnership and the Partnership business shall be continued; (iii) a
Successor General Partner shall be appointed by the Consent of the Partners in
accordance with Section 11.8 hereof and the Partnership Interest of the
Bankrupt, retired, deceased, dissolved or incompetent General Partner shall be
converted to a Partnership Interest as a Limited Partner; and (iv) this
Agreement and the Certificate shall be amended to reflect (a) such continuation
of the Partnership, (b) if applicable, the conversion of such General Partner's
Partnership Interest to a Limited Partner's Partnership Interest, and (c) the
admission of the Successor General Partner(s) designated pursuant to clause
(iii) of this Section 11.7.
11.8 ELECTION OF SUCCESSOR GENERAL PARTNER.
A. A Person shall be admitted as a Successor General Partner only
if the following terms and conditions are satisfied:
1. Except as otherwise provided herein, the admission of
such Person as a General Partner shall have been agreed to by the
Consent of the Partners (other than the affected partner or its
successor in interest);
2. The person shall have accepted and agreed to be bound by
all the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the
Certificate, by executing a counterpart thereof and such other
documents or instruments as may be required or appropriate in
order to effect the admission of such Person as a Successor
General Partner; and
3. An amended Certificate evidencing the admission of such
Person as a General Partner shall have been filed for recordation
under the Act.
B. Notwithstanding Section 11.8(a) hereof, in the event
Chelsea or Simon acquires the Entire Interest of the other
pursuant to Section 11.3 or 11.4 then Chelsea or Simon or an
Affiliate thereof, as the case may he, shall be admitted as a
Successor General Partner without the Consent of all Partners
pursuant to Section 11.8(a) hereof.
11.9 ADMISSION OF SUBSTITUTE LIMITED PARTNER. Notwithstanding any
other provision under this Agreement, no transferee of a Limited Partner's
Partnership Interest shall become a substituted Limited Partner unless (i) such
transferee shall have executed an instrument satisfactory in form and substance
to the General Partner accepting and agreeing to be bound by all the terms of
this Agreement, (ii) the General Partner has given its Consent thereto, which
may be withheld in its sole discretion; and (iii) all applicable requirements
imposed by this Article 11 have been fulfilled. Absent such substitution, an
assignor of a Limited Partner's Partnership Interest shall continue to be a
Limited Partner with all of the rights and obligations thereof, except for
entitlement to any Partnership distributions or allocations attributable to such
Partnership Interest.
11.10 DEATH, INCOMPETENCE OR DISSOLUTION OF A LIMITED PARTNER. The
adjudication of Bankruptcy or insolvency, dissolution or termination of any
partnership or corporate Limited Partner, or the death or adjudication of
insanity, incompetence, Bankruptcy or insolvency of any individual Limited
Partners (other than a Limited Partner who is also a General Partner) shall not
dissolve the Partnership. In such event, the executors or administrators of the
estate of the deceased Limited Partner, or the committee or other legal
representatives of the estate of the insane, incompetent, bankrupt or insolvent
Limited Partner, shall, for the purposes of settling the estate, have all of the
rights of a Limited Partner and be subject to the provisions of this Agreement,
including this Article 11.

such time.
ARTICLE 13 - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

profits derived therefrom.
13.2 PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS TREATED AS PERSONALTY. The Partnership
Interests of all Partners, and the interest of all Partners in and to the

default by such other Partner in the performance by such other Partner of the
same or any other obligations of such Partner hereunder. Failure on the part of
any Partner to object to or complain of any act or failure to act of any of the
other Partners or to declare any of the other Partners in default, irrespective
of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by any such
Partner of its rights hereunder.

Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are in no way intended to
describe, interpret, define or limit the scope, extent or intent of this

severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement or any
valid clause of any invalid portion. The Partners shall amend this Agreement to
replace any such invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable
provision which comes closest to the intent of the Partners with respect to such
invalid or unenforceable provision.
13.6 PARTITION. Each of the parties hereof irrevocably waives during
the term of the Partnership any right it may have , to maintain an action for
partition with respect to Partnership Property and any other Partnership assets.

intended to be for the benefit of any creditor or any other Person (other than a

obligations are owed by the Partnership or any Partner, and no such Person shall
be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of any provision of this Agreement.

administrative action, including without limitation, attorneys' fees. With
respect to any action initiated by a Partner in the nature of a derivative
action, the Partner initiating the derivative action shall be obligated to
reimburse the Partnership for any obligation incurred by the Partnership

litigation or administrative action. For purposes of the foregoing, a Partner
who is an Affiliate of a party which is the losing party in such litigation or
administrative action shall be obligated to reimburse the prevailing party for
the costs and expenses of such litigation or administrative action.
