9.2 Limitations on the Exercise of Powers of General Partner. The General Partner shall have no power to take any action prohibited by this Agreement or by the Delaware Act. Furthermore, the General Partner shall be subject to Sections 9.2(a) through 9.2(m) in the administration of the Partnership’s business and affairs:

9.2(a). Investment Company Status. The General Partner shall use its best efforts to assure that the Partnership is not deemed to be an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

9.2(b). Sales and Leases of Investments from or to the General Partner and its Affiliates. The Partnership shall neither purchase nor lease Investments from, nor sell or lease Investments to, the General Partner, any Affiliate of the General Partner or any Affiliated Program (including any Investment in which the General Partner or any of its Affiliates has an

A-20

interest) except as provided in this Section 9.2(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership may purchase Investments from the General Partner or any of its Affiliates (but not including an Affiliated Program) if:

	(i)		the General Partner determines, in its sole discretion, that making the Investment is in the best interests of the Partnership;
	(ii)		the Investment is purchased by the Partnership at a Purchase Price that does not exceed the sum of:

	(A)		the cost to the General Partner or the Affiliate of acquiring and holding the Investment (as determined under GAAP and as adjusted for any income received, capital or investment returned and reasonable and necessary expenses paid or incurred while holding the Investment); plus
	(B)		any compensation to which the General Partner and any Affiliate of the General Partner is entitled to under this Agreement;

	(iii)		there is no difference in the interest terms of any Indebtedness secured by the Investment at the time it is acquired by the General Partner or its Affiliate and the time the Investment is acquired by the Partnership, although there may be different interest terms if the applicable financing is provided through a different credit facility or different lender;
	(iv)		neither the General Partner nor any Affiliate of the General Partner receives any other benefit, other than compensation permitted by this Agreement, as a result of the Partnership purchasing the Investment; and
	(v)		at the time of transfer of the Investment to the Partnership, the General Partner or its Affiliate had held the Investment on a temporary or interim basis (generally not longer than 6 months) for the purposes of:

	(A)		facilitating the acquisition of the Investment by the Partnership;
	(B)		borrowing money or obtaining financing for the Partnership; or
	(C)		any other lawful purpose related to the business of the Partnership.

9.2(c). Loans to or from the General Partner and its Affiliates. No loans may be made by the Partnership to the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner. The General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner may loan or advance funds to the Partnership provided that:

(i) any interest or other financing charges or fees payable by the Partnership in connection with the loan shall not exceed the lesser of the following:

	(A)		the rate of interest and other amounts paid or payable by the General Partner or the Affiliate in connection with the loan (if the General Partner or the Affiliate borrowed money for the specific purpose of making the loan); or
	(B)		the rate of interest and other amounts that would be charged to the Partnership (without reference to the General Partner’s or the Affiliate’s financial abilities or guarantees) by unrelated lending institutions on a comparable loan for the same purpose in the same geographic area (if neither the General Partner nor the Affiliate borrowed money to make the loan); and

(ii) all payments of principal and interest on the loan must be due and payable within 12 months after the date on which the loan is made.

If the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner purchases an Investment in its own name and with its own funds in order to facilitate the ultimate purchase of the Investment by the Partnership, the General Partner or the Affiliate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have made a loan to the Partnership in the amount of the Purchase Price and shall be entitled to receive interest on that amount in accordance with clause (i) above.

However, any advances made by the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner for the purpose of paying Organization and Offering Expenses shall not constitute a loan to the Partnership. Instead, those advances shall be

A-21

reimbursed to the General Partner or the Affiliate (to the extent possible) from the General Partner’s Organization and Offering Expense Allowance, without interest, in accordance with, and to the extent provided in, Section 9.4(e).

9.2(d). No Exchange of Partnership Units for Investments. The Partnership shall not acquire any Investments in exchange for Units.

9.2(e). Roll-Ups. Any proposal that the Partnership enter into a Roll-Up shall require the Consent of a Majority Interest. Any proposed Roll-Up shall also be subject to the following:

	(i)		An appraisal of all Partnership assets shall be obtained from a competent Independent Expert. If the appraisal will be included in a prospectus used to offer the securities of a Roll-Up Entity, the appraisal shall be filed with the Commission and applicable Administrators as an exhibit to the registration statement for the offering. Partnership assets shall be appraised on a consistent basis. The appraisal shall be based on an evaluation of all relevant information, and shall indicate the value of the Partnership’s assets as of a date immediately prior to the announcement of the proposed Roll-Up transaction. The appraisal shall assume an orderly liquidation of Partnership assets over a 12-month period. The terms of the engagement of the Independent Expert shall clearly state that the engagement is for the benefit of the Partnership and its Limited Partners. A summary of the independent appraisal, indicating all material assumptions underlying the appraisal, shall be included in a report to the Limited Partners in connection with a proposed Roll-Up transaction.
	(ii)		The Person sponsoring the Roll-Up transaction shall offer to Limited Partners who vote “no” on the proposal the choice of:

	(A)		accepting the securities offered in the proposed Roll-Up transaction; or
	(B)		one of the following:

	(1)		remaining as Limited Partners, and preserving their Units in the Partnership on the same terms and conditions as existed previously; or
	(2)		receiving cash in an amount equal to the Limited Partners’ pro-rata share of the appraised value of the net assets of the Partnership.

	(iii)		The Partnership shall not participate in any proposed Roll-Up transaction that would result in Limited Partners having voting rights which are less than those provided for under this Agreement. If the Roll-Up Entity is a limited partnership, the voting rights of Limited Partners shall correspond to the voting rights provided for in this Agreement to the greatest extent possible. If the Roll-Up Entity is a corporation, then the democracy rights of Limited Partners shall correspond to the democracy rights provided for in this Agreement to the greatest extent possible.
	(iv)		The Partnership shall not participate in any proposed Roll-Up transaction that includes provisions which would operate to materially impede or frustrate the accumulation of shares by any purchaser of the securities of the Roll-Up Entity (except to the minimum extent necessary to preserve the tax status of the entity). The Partnership shall not participate in any proposed Roll-Up transaction that would limit the ability of a Limited Partner to exercise the voting rights of the securities of the Roll-Up Entity on the basis of the number of Units held by that Limited Partner.
	(v)		The Partnership shall not participate in any proposed Roll-Up transaction in which Limited Partners’ rights of access to the records of the Roll-Up Entity will be less than those provided for under this Agreement.
	(vi)		The Partnership shall not reimburse the sponsor of a proposed Roll-Up for the costs of its proxy contest, nor bear any other costs of the transaction if the Roll-Up is not approved by a Majority Interest.

9.2(f). No Exclusive Listings. No exclusive listing for the sale of Investments, or of any other Partnership assets, shall be granted to the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner.

A-22

9.2(g). Other Transactions Involving the General Partner and its Affiliates. Except as specifically permitted by this Agreement and the Origination and Servicing Agreement, the Partnership shall not enter into any agreements, contracts or arrangements with the General Partner, any Affiliate of the General Partner or any Affiliated Program not otherwise discussed in this Agreement or the Prospectus.

Except as permitted by Section 9.4, the General Partner and its Affiliates shall not receive, directly or indirectly, a commission or fee in connection with the reinvestment of Distributable Cash in new Investments.

Neither the General Partner nor any of its Affiliates may receive any rebates or “give-ups,” nor may the General Partner or any of its Affiliates participate in any reciprocal business arrangements that could have the effect of circumventing any of the provisions of this Agreement.

9.2(h). Payments to Investor Advisors. Neither the General Partner nor any Affiliate of the General Partner shall, directly or indirectly, pay or award any commissions or other compensation to any Person engaged by a potential investor as an investment advisor as an inducement to such Person to advise the potential investor concerning the Units. Provided, however, this Section 9.2(h) shall not prohibit the payment to any such Person of the Dealer-Manager Fees, Sales Commissions, and Due Diligence Expenses in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Dealer-Manager Agreement.

9.2(i). Sale of All or Substantially All Assets; Dissolution. During the Operating Period, the General Partner may not dissolve the Partnership or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership without the Consent of a Majority Interest.

9.2(j). No Investments in or Underwriting of Interests of Other Programs. The Partnership shall not invest in or underwrite the equity interests of any other Program; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Partnership from making investments in joint ventures to the extent and in the manner provided in Section 9.1(b)(xviii).

9.2(k). Use of Partnership’s Assets. The General Partner shall not employ, nor permit any other Person to employ, the Partnership’s funds or assets in any manner except for the exclusive benefit of the Partnership. In addition, the Partnership shall not invest from time to time more than 30% of its funds and assets, including but not limited to Capital Contributions and the proceeds of Financing Transactions then available for investment, in Secured Loans.

9.2(l). Fiduciary Duty to Limited Partners. Neither the General Partner nor any Affiliate shall permit a Limited Partner to contract away the fiduciary duty owed to the Limited Partner by the General Partner or its Affiliates under Delaware law and, to the extent applicable, common law.

9.2(m). Contracts for Goods and Services. All services or goods for which the General Partner or any of its Affiliates are to receive compensation that are not otherwise described or specifically authorized in this Agreement or the Origination and Servicing Agreement shall be subject to the following provisions:

	(i)		a written contract shall precisely describe the services to be rendered and all compensation to be paid;
	(ii)		the contract may be modified only by a Majority vote of the Limited Partners, and the contract shall contain a clause allowing its termination without penalty by a Majority vote of the Limited Partners on 60 days’ notice to the General Partner or its Affiliates, as the case may be;
	(iii)		the compensation, price or fee charged for providing the services must be comparable and competitive with the compensation, price or fee of any other Person who is rendering comparable services or selling or leasing comparable goods and materials which could reasonably be made available to the Partnership;
	(iv)		the fees and other terms of the contract shall be fully disclosed to the Limited Partners; and
	(v)		the General Partner or its Affiliate must be independently engaged in the business of providing the services to Persons other than Affiliates of the General Partner and at least 75% of its gross revenue from providing the services must be derived from other than the General Partner or its Affiliates.

A-23

9.3 Limitation on Liability of General Partner and its Affiliates; Indemnification. Any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall be recoverable solely out of the assets of the Partnership and not from the Limited Partners.

9.3(a). Limitation on General Partner’s Liability. Neither the General Partner nor any Affiliate of the General Partner shall have any liability to the Partnership or to any Limited Partner for any loss suffered by the Partnership or the Limited Partners that arises out of any action or inaction of the General Partner or its Affiliates if:

	(i)		the General Partner and its Affiliates determined in good faith that the course of conduct was in the best interest of the Partnership;
	(ii)		the General Partner and its Affiliates were acting within the scope of authority on behalf of, or performing services for, the Partnership; and
	(iii)		the course of conduct did not constitute negligence or misconduct of the General Partner or its Affiliates.

9.3(b). Indemnification of General Partner. The General Partner and its Affiliates shall be indemnified by the Partnership against any losses, judgments, liabilities, expenses, and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained by them in connection with the Partnership, provided that:

	(ii)		the General Partner and its Affiliates were acting within the scope of authority on behalf of, or performing services for, the Partnership; and
	(iii)		the course of conduct was not the result of negligence or misconduct of the General Partner or its Affiliates.

9.3(c). Securities Act Liability. Notwithstanding the above, the General Partner and its Affiliates, including the Dealer-Manager, and any Person acting as a broker/dealer, including the Selling Dealers, shall not be indemnified by the Partnership for any losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless:

	(i)		there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee and a court of competent jurisdiction has approved indemnification of the litigation costs; or
	(ii)		the claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee and a court of competent jurisdiction has approved indemnification of the litigation costs; or
	(iii)		a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee and a court of competent jurisdiction has found that indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made.

In any claim for indemnification for federal or state securities law violations, the party seeking indemnification shall apprise the court of the position of the Commission and, if a position be taken by it, the Administrator in any jurisdiction in which Units have been sold, with respect to the issue of indemnification for securities law violations before seeking the court’s approval for the indemnification.

9.3(d). Insurance. The Partnership shall not incur the cost of that portion of any insurance which insures any party against any liability the indemnification of which is prohibited in this Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to public liability insurance obtained by the Partnership in connection with any Investment or operations of the Partnership, the General Partner shall be permitted to add itself and its Affiliates as an additional insured thereunder so long as and to the extent that the General Partner pays for any incremental premium costs resulting from their being added as an additional insured.

For purposes of this Section 9.3, “public liability insurance” shall include insurance that would cover damage to property or personal injury to non-affiliated Persons incurred during the performance of services related to the Partnership and its operations.

A-24

9.4(e). Organization and Offering Expense Allowance. The Partnership shall pay, immediately following each Closing Date, the Organization and Offering Expense Allowance to the General Partner without deduction for Dealer-Manager Fees, Sales Commissions and Due Diligence Expenses payable by the Partnership. The General Partner shall bear any Organization and Offering Expenses incurred by the General Partner or its Affiliates (including, without limitation, the Dealer-Manager) in excess of the Organization and Offering Expense Allowance.

9.4(f). Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses. In connection with any Investment, the Partnership shall pay to the General Partner, for services rendered in connection with acquiring the Investment, an Acquisition Fee equal to the difference (to the extent greater than zero) between:

	(i)		2% of the Purchase Price paid by the Partnership for any Investment (which Purchase Price shall be determined for purposes of this Section 9.4(f) only, by excluding the General Partner’s Acquisition Fee as calculated under this Section 9.4(f), but including the General Partner’s and its Affiliates’ Acquisition Expenses related to the Investment and all other components of the Purchase Price as that term is defined in this Agreement); and
	(ii)		the aggregate amount of Acquisition Fees paid by or on behalf of the Partnership to any other Person in connection with the Investment.

Provided, however, that:

	(i)		no Acquisition Fees shall be paid by, or on behalf of, the Partnership to any finder or broker that is an Affiliate of the General Partner except to the extent permitted by this Section 9.4(f);
	(ii)		Acquisition Fees shall include Acquisition Expenses, except that for purposes of this Section 9.4 fees payable to finders or brokers that are not Affiliates of the General Partner that are otherwise included within Acquisition Fees shall be treated as an expense of the Partnership payable as provided in Section 9.4(j) and shall not be treated as Acquisition Fees or Acquisition Expenses except for purposes of determining the Purchase Price of the Investment;
	(iii)		the Partnership shall not pay any Acquisition Fees, fees payable to finders or brokers that are not Affiliates of the General Partner, or other Front-End Fees, or any part thereof, that would cause the Partnership’s Investment in Equipment (including Equipment that at any time is subject to, or is the collateral for, Leases or Secured Loans) to be less than the greater of:

A-25

	(A)		80% of the Partnership’s Gross Offering Proceeds from the sale of Units, reduced by .0625% for each 1% of Indebtedness encumbering the Partnership’s Investments; or
	(B)		75% of the Partnership’s Gross Offering Proceeds.

To calculate the percentage of Indebtedness encumbering the Partnership’s Investments, the aggregate amount of the Indebtedness shall be divided by the aggregate Purchase Price (without deduction for Front-End Fees) paid for all Investments. The quotient so calculated shall be multiplied by .0625% to determine the percentage to be deducted from 80%. Where the Partnership purchases an Investment from the General Partner or one of its Affiliates pursuant to Section 9.2(b) for a Purchase Price that includes the amount of an Acquisition Fee, the Acquisition Fee shall be deemed paid under this Section 9.4(f) and there shall be no duplicate payment of the Acquisition Fee; and

(iv) the General Partner and its Affiliates shall not receive reimbursement of their Acquisition Expenses from the Partnership other than indirectly through their receipt of the Purchase Price or the related Acquisition Fee of an Investment or as otherwise provided in Section 9.4(j).

9.4(g). Management Fees. For management services rendered, the Partnership shall pay the Management Fees to the General Partner or its designated Affiliate each month during the Operating Period, but only after Distributable Cash in an amount sufficient to pay any accrued Unpaid Cumulative Return in that month has been either distributed or added to Reserves to be distributed later in that month.

To the extent that the Partnership’s Distributable Cash in any month is insufficient to distribute any accrued Unpaid Cumulative Return in that month and pay the Management Fees for that month, the payment of the Management Fees shall be deferred and paid, without interest, in the next following month in which the Partnership generates sufficient Distributable Cash to pay the Management Fees and distribute any accrued Unpaid Cumulative Return. Reserves established for distributing Unpaid Cumulative Returns as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 9.4(g) shall not be used for any other purpose.

9.4(h). Subordinated Remarketing Fees. For services rendered in connection with the sale of any Investment, the Partnership shall pay the applicable Subordinated Remarketing Fee to the General Partner; provided that:

	(i)		no Subordinated Remarketing Fee shall be paid before Payout; and
	(ii)		the General Partner shall not be entitled to receive that portion of any Subordinated Remarketing Fee that would cause the total commissions paid to all Persons in connection with the sale of the Investment to exceed a fee for their services that is reasonable, customary and competitive in light of the size, type and location of the Investment. After Payout, any and all Subordinated Remarketing Fees previously earned by the General Partner shall be paid by the Partnership, without any interest, before any other distributions are made by the Partnership to the Partners.

9.4(i). Re-Leasing Fee. For services rendered, the Partnership shall pay the applicable Re-Leasing Fee to the General Partner in connection with the re-lease of Equipment; provided that the following conditions are met:

	(v)		the General Partner or its Affiliates have been paid Management Fees that month for rendering management services.

	(ii)		Subject to clause (iv), the General Partner and its Affiliates may be reimbursed for the actual cost of goods, materials and services used for or by the Partnership and obtained by it or them from non-Affiliates of the General Partner.
	(iii)		Subject to clause (iv), the General Partner and its Affiliates shall be reimbursed for the administrative services reasonably necessary, convenient or advisable, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, to the prudent operation of the Partnership (including, without limitation, legal, accounting, remarketing and agency expenses) provided that the reimbursement shall not exceed the lesser of:

	(A)		its or their actual cost; or
	(B)		the amount the Partnership would be required to pay to non-Affiliates for comparable administrative services in the same geographic location; and

provided, further, that there shall be no reimbursement for their services if the General Partner or its Affiliates are entitled to compensation in the form of a separate fee pursuant to other provisions of this Section 9.4.

(iv) The General Partner and its Affiliates shall not be reimbursed by the Partnership for amounts expended by them with respect to the following:

(A) salaries, fringe benefits, travel expenses or other administrative items incurred by or allocated to any Controlling Person of the General Partner or its Affiliates; or

(B) rent, depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or, subject to clause (iii), other administrative items.

9.5 Other Interests of the General Partner and its Affiliates

9.5(a). General Partner’s Right to Pursue Other Activities. The General Partner shall be required to devote only such time to the affairs of the Partnership as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines in good faith to be necessary for the business and operations of the Partnership. The General Partner and its Affiliates may engage in, or possess an interest in, business ventures (other than the Partnership) of every kind and description, independently or with others, including, but not limited to, serving as sponsor or general partner of other Programs and participating in the equipment leasing or financing business, whether or not those business ventures are competitive with the business or Investments of the Partnership; provided, however, that the General Partner and its Affiliates may not offer for sale interests in another Program before the Offering Termination Date unless the other Programs have investment objectives that are different from the Partnership’s or the other Programs are Specified Equipment Programs.

The Partnership and the Limited Partners shall have no rights in or to the General Partner’s and its Affiliates’ independent ventures or the related income or profits resulting from them.

The General Partner and its Affiliates shall not be obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to the Partnership. The General Partner and its Affiliates shall have the right to invest in equipment, portfolios of equipment subject to existing equipment leases, equipment financing, in leasing and re-leasing opportunities, and Secured Loans on its or their own behalf or on behalf of other Programs. The General Partner and its Affiliates shall have the right, subject only to the provisions of Section 9.5(b), to take for their own account (individually or otherwise), or to recommend to any Affiliated Program, any particular investment opportunity.

9.5(b). Resolving Conflicts. Any conflicts in determining and allocating Investments between the General Partner and its Affiliated Programs, on the one hand, and the Partnership, on the other hand, shall be resolved by the Investment Committee, which will evaluate the suitability of all prospective Investments. If the Investments available from time to time to the Partnership and to other Affiliated Programs are less than the aggregate amount of the Investments then sought by them, an

A-27

available Investment shall be allocated by the General Partner to an Affiliated Program (including the Partnership) after taking into consideration at least the following factors:

	(i)		which Affiliated Program has been seeking Investments or reinvesting Cash Flow from its Investments for the longest period of time;
	(ii)		whether the Affiliated Program has the cash required for the Investment;
	(iii)		whether the amount of debt to be incurred with respect to the Investment is acceptable for the Affiliated Program;
	(iv)		the effect the Investment would have on the Affiliated Program’s cash flow;
	(v)		whether the Investment would further diversify, or unduly concentrate, the Affiliated Program’s Investments in a particular lessee, class or type of equipment, location, industry, etc.; and
	(vi)		whether the term of the Investment is within the term of the Affiliated Program.

In the event of a conflict between two or more Affiliated Programs (including the Partnership) that are seeking to re-lease or sell similar equipment contemporaneously (except to the extent that the re-lease or sale is to the lessee, or an Affiliate of the lessee, from the Affiliated Program), the first opportunity to re-lease or sell equipment generally shall be allocated to the Affiliated Program (including the Partnership) attempting to re-lease or sell equipment that was subject to the lease that expired first or, if two or more leases expired simultaneously, the lease that was the first to take effect; provided, however, that the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, provide opportunities to re-lease or sell equipment otherwise if the equipment is subject to remarketing commitments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Section 9.5, the General Partner may allocate an opportunity in any other manner it determines, in its sole discretion if there are other circumstances, in the General Partner’s judgment, under which withholding the opportunity from an Affiliated Program (including the Partnership) would be inequitable or not economically feasible for that particular Affiliated Program.

If the financing available from time to time to two or more Affiliated Programs (including the Partnership) is less than the aggregate amount then sought by them, the available financing generally shall be allocated to the Affilliated Program that has been seeking financing for the longest period of time.

ARTICLE X — POWERS AND LIABILITIES OF LIMITED PARTNERS

10.1 Absence of Control Over Partnership Business. The Limited Partners hereby consent to the exercise by the General Partner of the powers conferred on the General Partner by this Agreement. No Limited Partner shall have any of the following rights:

	(i)		the right to participate in or have any control over the Partnership’s business;
	(ii)		the right or authority to act for, or to bind or otherwise obligate, the Partnership (except if the Limited Partner also is a General Partner, and then only in its capacity as a General Partner);
	(iii)		the right to have the Partnership dissolved and liquidated, except as provided in Section 16.2 through the Consent or vote of the Majority Interest of the Limited Partners; or
	(iv)		the right to have all or any part of the Limited Partner’s Capital Contribution or Capital Account returned, except as provided in this Agreement.

10.2 Limited Liability. The liability of each Limited Partner, in his capacity as a Limited Partner, shall be limited to the amount of the Limited Partner’s Capital Contribution and pro rata share of any undistributed Income, Cash Flow and other assets of the Partnership. Except as may otherwise be required by law or by this Agreement, after a Limited Partner pays his entire Capital Contribution to the Partnership as set forth on his Subscription Agreement for the purchase of his Units, the Limited Partner shall not:

(i) have any further obligations to the Partnership;

A-28

	(ii)		be subject to any additional Assessment; or
	(iii)		be required to make any additional Capital Contribution to, or to loan any funds to, the Partnership.

ARTICLE XI — DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS

11.1 Distribution of Distributable Cash

11.1(a). Prior to the Admission of Limited Partners. Prior to the admission to the Partnership of any Limited Partners, distributions of Distributable Cash shall be made 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Original Limited Partner.

11.1(b). After Admission to the Partnership. Beginning with the admission to the Partnership of any Limited Partner on the Initial Closing Date, and continuing during the Operating Period, provided that sufficient Distributable Cash is available, in the General Partner’s sole discretion, the General Partner shall distribute Distributable Cash to the Partners in the following order of priority:

(i) first, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners in an amount that:

	(A)		is equal to the Limited Partners’ Unpaid Cumulative Return; and
	(B)		includes an amount of Distributable Cash resulting from Sales and refinancings of the Partnership’s Investments, if any, sufficient for the Limited Partners to pay their federal, state and local income taxes resulting from those Sales, assuming the Limited Partners are in a 30% tax bracket; and

(ii) thereafter, to investment and reinvestment in Investments or, if the General Partner elects in its sole discretion not to invest or reinvest Distributable Cash, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners.

Distributions of Distributable Cash shall be made to the Partners monthly. Subject to Section 11.1(b), the amount of each monthly distribution shall be determined by the General Partner, in its sole discretion, based on the amount of the Partnership’s then available Distributable Cash and other funds of the Partnership and the General Partner’s estimate of the Partnership’s total Distributable Cash for the Fiscal Year.

11.1(c). No Reinvestments After Closing of the Operating Period. After the Operating Period and during the Maturity Period, no Distributable Cash shall be reinvested in additional Investments. All Distributable Cash shall be distributed 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners.

11.2 Allocations of Income and Loss

11.2(a). Deductions for Each Fiscal Year. The Income and Loss of the Partnership shall be determined for each Fiscal Year or Fiscal Period.

11.2(b). Proportionate Part. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, whenever a proportionate part of the Partnership’s Income or Loss is allocated to a Partner, every item of income, gain, loss, deduction or other tax item entering into the computation of the Income or Loss, or arising from the transactions with respect to which the Income or Loss was realized, shall be allocated to the Partner in the same proportion.

11.2(c). Operating Period. Income for any Fiscal Period during the Operating Period shall be allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners.

11.2(d). Maturity Period. Income for any Fiscal Period during the Maturity Period shall be allocated to the Partners as follows:

	(i)		first, to the Partners in proportion to and to the extent of the deficit balances, if any, in their respective Capital Accounts; and
	(ii)		thereafter, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners.

A-29

11.2(e). Losses. Losses for any Fiscal Period shall be allocated to the Partners as follows:

	(i)		first, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners until the Limited Partners have been allocated Losses equal to the excess, if any, of their aggregate Capital Account balances over their aggregate Adjusted Capital Contributions;
	(ii)		next, to the Partners in proportion to and to the extent of their respective remaining positive Capital Account balances, if any; and
	(iii)		thereafter, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners;

provided, however, that if and to the extent that an allocation of Losses to any Limited Partner pursuant to this subsection (e) or subsection (f), below, would result in any Limited Partner having an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, the Losses shall be allocated to all other Partners in accordance with this subsection (e) and, when no Limited Partner can be allocated any Losses without violating the limitation contained in this proviso, the remaining Losses shall be allocated to the General Partner.

11.2(f). Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall, except as otherwise provided, be made prior to allocations in Sections 11.2(a) through (e) in the following order:

	(i)		Minimum Gain Charge-Back. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XI, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain or in any Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Period, before any other allocation under this Article XI each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership Income and gain for the Fiscal Period (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Periods) in an amount and manner required by Treas. Reg. Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4) or any successor provisions. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(j)(2) or any successor provision.
	(ii)		Partnership Nonrecourse Deductions. Partnership Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Period shall be allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner.
	(iii)		Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Period shall be allocated to the Partner who made or guaranteed or is otherwise liable with respect to the loan to which the Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with the principles of Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i) or any successor provision.
	(iv)		Qualified Income Offset. If in any Fiscal Period, any Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, whether resulting from an unexpected adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) or otherwise, the Partner shall be allocated items of Partnership Income (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Partnership Income for the Fiscal Period) sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible, to the extent required by that Treasury Regulation. It is the intention of the parties that this allocation provision constitute a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).
	(v)		Curative Allocations. The special allocations provided for in Section 11.2(e) and in Sections 11.2(f)(i) through (iv) are intended to comply with Treas. Reg. Sections 1.704-1 and 1.704- 2. To the extent that any of those special allocations have been made, subsequent allocations of Income, Loss and items thereof (“curative allocations”) shall be made as soon as possible and in a manner so as to cause, to the extent possible without violating the requirements of Treas. Reg. Sections 1.704-1 and 1.704-2, the Partners’ Capital Account balances to be as nearly as possible in the same proportions in which they would have been had the special allocations not occurred. In making these curative allocations, due regard shall be given to the character of the Income and Loss and items thereof that were originally allocated under the provisions of Section 11.2(e) and Sections 11.2(f)(i) through (iv) in order to put the Partners as nearly as possible in the positions in which they would have been had those special allocations not occurred.

11.2(g). Misallocated Items. If the General Partner determines, after consultation with Counsel, that the allocation of any item of Income or Loss is not specified in this Article XI (an “unallocated item”), or that the allocation of any item of Income or Loss under this Article XI is clearly inconsistent with the Partners’ economic interests in the Partnership determined by reference to this Agreement, the general principles of Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b) and the factors set forth in Treas. Reg.

A-30

Section 1.704-1(b)(3)(ii) (a “misallocated item”), then the General Partner may allocate the unallocated items, and reallocate the misallocated items, to reflect the Partners’ economic interests in the Partnership.

11.2(h). Special Allocation of State, Local and Foreign Taxes. Any state, local or foreign taxes imposed on the Partnership by reason of a Partner being a citizen, resident or national of a state, locality or foreign jurisdiction, including any item(s) of Income or Loss resulting therefrom, shall be specially allocated to that Partner.

11.2(i). Transactions with Partnership. If the adjusted basis of any property contributed by a Partner to the Partnership exceeds the fair market value of the property at the time of the contribution (the “built-in loss”), then, except as provided otherwise by Treasury Regulations, the built-in loss shall be taken into account only in determining the amount of the tax items allocated to the contributing Partner. In determining the amount of tax items allocated to the other Partners, the basis of the contributed property shall be treated as being equal to its fair market value at the time of the contribution. Subject to the foregoing, if, and to the extent that, any Partner is deemed to recognize any item of Income or Loss as a result of any transaction between the Partner and the Partnership pursuant to Code Sections 482, 483, 1272-1274, 7872 or any similar provision of the Code now or hereafter in effect, any corresponding Income or Loss or items thereof shall be allocated to the Partner who was charged with that item.

11.2(j). Fees and Commissions Paid to General Partner. It is the intent of the Partnership that any amount paid or deemed paid to the General Partner as a fee or other payment described in Section 9.4 shall be treated as a “guaranteed payment” or a payment to a partner not acting in his capacity as a partner pursuant to Section 707(c) of the Code to the extent possible. If a fee or payment is deemed to be a distribution to the General Partner, and not a guaranteed payment or a payment to a partner not acting in his capacity as a partner, the General Partner shall be allocated an amount of Partnership gross ordinary income equal to the payment.

11.2(k). Sales Commissions, Dealer-Manager Fees, Due Diligence Expenses, Acquisition Fees and Organization and Offering Expense Allowance. Sales Commissions, Dealer-Manager Fees, Due Diligence Expenses, Acquisition Fees and the Organization and Offering Expense Allowance shall be allocated 100% to the Limited Partners. Organization and Offering Expenses in excess of Sales Commissions, Dealer-Manager Fees, Due Diligence Expenses and the Organization and Offering Expense Allowance shall be allocated 100% to the General Partner.

11.2(l). Tax-Exempt Entities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if it is determined that the tax-exempt use property rules of Section 168(h)(6) of the Code apply to the Partnership, because one or more of the Partnership’s Limited Partners are tax-exempt entities (including non-U.S. persons as defined by the Code) so that a portion of the Partnership’s depreciation or cost recovery deductions are reduced, suspended or otherwise adversely affected, the resulting depreciation adjustments shall be specially allocated 100% to the Limited Partners that are tax-exempt entities (including non-U.S. persons as defined by the Code) to be shared among them in proportion to their respective number of Units unless otherwise allocated among them by this Agreement or the Code.

11.3 Distributions and Allocations Among the Limited Partners

11.3(a). In General. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, all distributions of Distributable Cash and all allocations of Income and Loss and items thereof for any Fiscal Year or Fiscal Period shall be distributed or allocated, as the case may be, among the Limited Partners in proportion to their respective numbers of Units. Each distribution of Distributable Cash shall be made to the Limited Partners (or their respective assignees) of record as of the last day of the month next preceding the date on which the distribution is made.

11.3(b). Initial Year of Admission. All distributions of Distributable Cash and all allocations of Income and Loss or items thereof for any Fiscal Year in which any Limited Partners are admitted to the Partnership shall be allocated among the Limited Partners as follows:

	(i)		first, the Operations and Sales of the Partnership shall be deemed to have occurred ratably over the Fiscal Year, irrespective of the actual results of Operations or Sales of the Partnership;
	(ii)		second, all Income and Loss for the Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Limited Partners in the ratio that the number of Units held by each Limited Partner multiplied by the number of days in the Fiscal Year that the Units were held by the Limited Partner bears to the sum of that calculation for all Limited Partners; and

A-31

(iii) third, all monthly distributions of cash made to the Limited Partners under Section 11.1 shall be distributed among the Limited Partners in the ratio that the number of Units held by each Limited Partner multiplied by the number of days in the month preceding the month in which the distribution is made that the Units were held by the Limited Partner bears to the sum of that calculation for all Limited Partners. If the General Partner determines at any time that the sum of the monthly distributions made to any Limited Partner during or with respect to a Fiscal Year does not (or will not) properly reflect the Limited Partner’s share of the total distributions made or to be made by the Partnership for the Fiscal Year, the General Partner shall, as soon as practicable, make a supplemental distribution to the Limited Partner, or withhold from a subsequent distribution that otherwise would be payable to the Limited Partner, an amount that will cause the total distributions to the Limited Partner for the Fiscal Year to be the proper amount.

11.3(c). Transfer. In the event of a transfer of a Unit during a Fiscal Year in accordance with Article XIII, the transferor and transferee shall be allocated a ratable share of Income and Losses for the Fiscal Year based on the number of days in the Fiscal Year that each held the transferred Unit.

11.3(d). Before Admission. Each distribution made to a Limited Partner under Sections 11.1, 11.5 or 14.3, and any interest earned on a Limited Partner’s subscription funds while held in an Escrow Account before the admission of the Limited Partner to the Partnership and subsequently paid to the Limited Partner under Section 8.11, shall be applied as follows:

	(i)		first, in reduction of the Limited Partner’s Unpaid Cumulative Return, to the extent thereof, as determined immediately before the distribution; and
	(ii)		thereafter, in reduction of the Limited Partner’s Adjusted Capital Contribution, as determined immediately before the distribution.

11.4 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c); Revaluations.

11.4(a). Contribution of Property. In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, Income, Loss and items thereof with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of the property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value.

11.4(b). Adjustments. In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 1.1(49) and Section 8.14, subsequent allocations of Income, Loss, and items thereof with respect to the asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of the asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in a manner consistent with the requirements of Proposed Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-3(a)(6) or the corresponding provision of any final or successor Treasury Regulations.

11.4(c). Elections. Any elections or other decisions relating to the allocations required by subsections (a) and (b), above, shall be made in a manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations under this subsection (c) are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Income or Losses under any provision of this Agreement.

11.5 Return of Uninvested Capital Contribution. If 100% of the Partnership’s Net Offering Proceeds has not been used to make Investments, committed to Reserves (to the extent Reserves have been established and maintained for the acquisition of Investments) or used to pay permitted Front-End Fees within 24 months from the date of the Prospectus, the amount of the uninvested Net Offering Proceeds shall be promptly distributed by the Partnership to the Limited Partners, pro rata based on their respective number of Units, as a return of capital, without interest.

Funds shall be deemed to have been committed to investment and need not be returned to the Limited Partners to the extent written agreements in principle, commitment letters, letters of intent or understanding, option agreements or any similar contracts are executed and not terminated during the applicable 24-month period described above, if the investments are ultimately consummated within a further period of 12 months.

Funds deemed committed which are not actually so invested within the 12 month period shall be promptly distributed, without interest, to the Limited Partners on a pro rata basis, as a return of capital, except that Investments using funds from Ohio Limited Partners must be completed within a three-month period or those funds must be returned to the Ohio Limited Partners.

A-32

11.6 No Distributions in Kind. Distributions in kind shall not be permitted except on dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership’s assets and then only to a liquidating trust established for the purpose of liquidating the assets transferred to it and distributing the net cash proceeds of the liquidation in cash to the Partners in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

11.7 Partnership Entitled to Withhold Taxes. The Partnership shall at all times be entitled to withhold or make payments to any governmental authority with respect to any federal, state, local or foreign tax liability of any Partner or former Partner arising as a result of the Partner’s participation in the Partnership. Each amount so withheld or paid shall be deemed to be a distribution for purposes of Article XI and Article XIV, as the case may be, to the extent the Partner is then entitled to a distribution. To the extent that the amount of withholdings or payments made with respect to any Partner exceeds the amount to which the Partner is then entitled as a distribution, the excess shall be treated as a demand loan, bearing interest at a rate equal to 12% per annum simple interest from the date of the payment or withholding until the excess is repaid to the Partnership either by deduction from any distributions subsequently payable to the Partner under this Agreement or earlier payment of the excess and interest by the Partner to the Partnership.

The excess withholdings or payments, together with interest thereon, shall, in any case, be payable not less than 30 days after demand therefor by the General Partner. However, the General Partner shall demand payment only if it determines that the Partner is not likely to be entitled to distributions within 12 months from the date of the withholding or payment by the Partnership in an amount sufficient to pay the excess and interest. If the payments referred to in this Section 11.7 are made on behalf of a Person who cannot be identified or located, the General Partner shall treat the payments as a distribution of Distributable Cash made 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners, provided that this deemed distribution shall not reduce the Limited Partners’ Unpaid Cumulative Return or Adjusted Capital Contribution under Section 11.3(d). Also, the withholdings and payments referred to in this Section 11.7 shall be made at the maximum applicable statutory rate under the applicable tax law unless the General Partner has received an opinion of Counsel, at the Partner’s expense, or other evidence, satisfactory to the General Partner, to the effect that a lower rate is applicable or that no withholding or tax payment is required.

ARTICLE XII — WITHDRAWAL OF GENERAL PARTNER

12.1 Voluntary Withdrawal. The General Partner may not voluntarily withdraw as a General Partner from the Partnership unless:

	(i)		the Limited Partners have received 60 days’ advance written notice of the General Partner’s intention to withdraw;
	(ii)		the Partnership has received an opinion of Counsel to the effect that the withdrawal will not constitute a termination of the Partnership or otherwise materially adversely affect the status of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes; and
	(iii)		a Substitute General Partner has been selected, and the Substitute General Partner has:

	(A)		consented to its admission as General Partner;
	(B)		received the written Consent of a Majority Interest to its admission as General Partner; and
	(C)		a Net Worth sufficient, in the opinion of Counsel, for the Partnership to continue to be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and to satisfy the Net Worth requirements for “sponsors” under applicable laws, rules, regulations and policies of Administrators.

12.2 Involuntary Withdrawal. The General Partner shall be deemed to have involuntarily withdrawn as a General Partner from the Partnership on the removal of the General Partner pursuant to the Consent of the Majority Interest or on the occurrence of any other event that constitutes an event of withdrawal under the Delaware Act as then in effect. For purposes of this Section 12.2 and Article XVI, neither the General Partner nor any Affiliate of the General Partner may participate in any vote by the Limited Partners to involuntarily remove the General Partner.

12.3 Consequences of Withdrawal

12.3(a). Upon Withdrawal. On the withdrawal of the General Partner as such from the Partnership:

A-33

	(i)		the Partnership shall pay to the withdrawn General Partner the fair market value of the Partnership Interest then held by the General Partner, calculated in the manner set forth in subsection (b), below, and payable as set forth in subsection (c), below; and
	(ii)		an amount equal to the difference between any Management Fees and other fees accrued but not yet paid to the General Partner, plus all other amounts due and owing to the General Partner by the Partnership, minus any amounts due and owing by the General Partner to the Partnership, which shall be payable in cash within 30 days of the date of withdrawal, by the debtor party to the creditor party.

12.3(b). Determination of Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section 12.3, the fair market value of the withdrawn General Partner’s Partnership Interest shall be determined, in good faith, by the withdrawn General Partner and the Substitute General Partner, or, if they cannot agree, by arbitration in accordance with the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association. The expense of arbitration shall be borne equally by the withdrawn General Partner and the Partnership, provided, however, that each party shall bear its own attorneys fees.

12.3(c). Method of Payment. The method of payment to the General Partner on withdrawal, whether voluntary or involuntary, must be fair and must protect the solvency and liquidity of the Partnership. When the withdrawal is voluntary, the method of payment will be presumed to be fair if it provides for a non-interest-bearing, unsecured promissory note of the Partnership, with principal payable, if at all, from distributions that the withdrawn General Partner otherwise would have received under the Partnership Agreement had the General Partner not withdrawn.

When the withdrawal is involuntary, unless otherwise agreed by the withdrawn General Partner and the Partnership, the method of payment shall be a promissory note providing for repayments of principal thereunder in 60 equal monthly installments, together with accrued but unpaid interest, bearing interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at the lesser of:

	(i)		the rate of interest (inclusive of any points or other loan charges) that the Partnership would be required to pay to an unrelated bank or commercial lending institution for an unsecured, 60 month loan of like amount; or
	(ii)		the “Prime Rate” of interest published in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal, plus 4%.

12.4 Liability of Withdrawn General Partner. If the business of the Partnership is continued after withdrawal of the General Partner, the General Partner, or its estate, successors or legal representatives, shall remain liable for all obligations and liabilities incurred by it or by the Partnership while it was acting in the capacity of General Partner and for which it was liable as General Partner, but they shall be free of any obligation or liability incurred on account of or arising from the activities of the Partnership from and after the time the withdrawal became effective.

12.5 Notice of Withdrawal; Admission of Substitute General Partner; Dissolution if No Substitute General Partner Approved. If the General Partner voluntarily withdraws from the Partnership, the General Partner, or its estate, successors or legal representatives, shall deliver to the Limited Partners a Notice that includes the effective date of its withdrawal. Within 90 days following a voluntary or involuntary withdrawal, a Majority Interest may agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and elect, effective as of the date of the withdrawn General Partner’s withdrawal, a Substitute General Partner. The Substitute General Partner shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement. If this action is not taken within 90 days following the date of the General Partner’s withdrawal, then the Partnership shall dissolve.

ARTICLE XIII — TRANSFER OF UNITS

13.1 Withdrawal of a Limited Partner. A Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership only by Assigning or Redeeming all Units owned by the Limited Partner in accordance with this Article XIII. The withdrawal of a Limited Partner shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership. If a Limited Partner withdraws because of death, legal incompetence, dissolution or other termination, the estate, legal representative or successor of the Limited Partner shall be deemed to be the Assignee of the Limited Partner’s Units and may become a Substitute Limited Partner on compliance with the provisions of Section 13.3.

A-34

13.2 Assignment

13.2(a). Assignment by a Limited Partner. Subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c), below, and Section 13.3, any Limited Partner may Assign all or any portion of his Units to an Assignee if:

(i) the Limited Partner and the Assignee each execute a written Assignment, which:

	(A)		sets forth the terms of the Assignment;
	(B)		in the case of Assignments other than by operation of law, states the intention of the Limited Partner that the Assignee shall become a Substitute Limited Partner and, in all cases, evidences the acceptance by the Assignee of all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and
	(C)		includes a representation by both the Limited Partner and the Assignee that the Assignment was made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations (including, without limitation, the minimum investment and investor suitability requirements as may then be applicable under state securities laws); and

(ii) the Assignee pays to the Partnership an aggregate amount, not exceeding $150, for expenses reasonably incurred by the Partnership in connection with processing the Assignment.

13.2(b). General Partner Must Consent to the Withdrawal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the General Partner specifically Consents, no Units may be Assigned:

	(i)		to a minor or incompetent (unless a guardian, custodian or conservator has been appointed to handle the affairs of that Person);
	(ii)		to any Person if, in the opinion of Counsel, the Assignment would result in the termination of the Partnership’s taxable year or its status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, provided that the Partnership may permit the Assignment to become effective if and when, in the opinion of Counsel, the Assignment would no longer result in the termination of the Partnership’s taxable year or its status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes;
	(iii)		to any Person if the Assignment, in the opinion of Counsel, would affect the Partnership’s existence or qualification as a limited partnership under the Delaware Act or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Partnership is then conducting business;
	(iv)		to any Person not permitted, in the opinion of Counsel, to be an Assignee under applicable law, including, without limitation, applicable federal and state securities laws;
	(v)		if the Assignment would result in the transfer of less than 50 Units (unless the Assignment includes all of the Units owned by the Limited Partner);
	(vi)		if the Assignment would result in the retention by the Limited Partner of a portion of his Units representing less than 50 Units; or
	(vii)		if, in the opinion of Counsel, the effect of the Assignment would be to cause the “equity participation” in the Partnership by “benefit plan investors” (within the meaning of Department of Labor Reg. Section 2510.3-101(f)) and possibly other tax-exempt investors (as determined by the General Partner after consultation with Counsel) to equal or exceed 25% of the Partnership’s total outstanding Units.

Any attempt to make any Assignment of Units in violation of this Section 13.2(b) shall be without force or effect.

13.2(c). Publicly Traded Partnership Prohibition. So long as there are adverse federal income tax consequences from being treated as a “publicly traded partnership” for federal income tax purposes, in the opinion of Counsel, the General Partner shall not permit any interest in a Unit to be Assigned (including Redemptions of Units under Section 13.5) on a “Secondary Market.” For purposes of this Section 13.2(c), any Assignment that fails to meet one or more of the secondary market “safe-harbor” provisions of Treas. Reg. Section 1.7704-1 or any substitute safe-harbor provisions that subsequently

A-35

may be established by Treasury Regulations or published notices, shall be treated as an Assignment on a Secondary Market under this Section 13.2(c).

If the General Partner determines, pursuant to an opinion of Counsel, that an Assignment was or will be effected on a Secondary Market, the Partnership and the General Partner shall not recognize the Assignment and shall not admit the transferee as a Substitute Limited Partner, nor recognize any rights of the transferee in the Partnership, such as the right to receive distributions of Distributable Cash or any interest in Partnership capital or profits. Each Limited Partner agrees to provide to the General Partner all information with regard to any Assignment by the Limited Partner, whether proposed or purportedly completed, that the General Partner deems necessary in order to determine whether the Assignment by the Limited Partner occurred or will occur on a Secondary Market.

13.2(d). Effectiveness of Assignment. Assignments made in accordance with this Section 13.2 shall be considered effective on the last day of the month on which all of the conditions of this Section 13.2 have been satisfied. Distributions to the Assignee shall begin the month following effectiveness of the Assignment.

13.3 Substitution

13.3(a). Condition on Substitution. An Assignee of a Limited Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Substitute Limited Partner only if:

	(i)		the General Partner has reasonably determined that all of the conditions specified in Section 13.2 have been satisfied and no adverse effect to the Partnership will result from the admission; and
	(ii)		the Assignee has executed a transfer agreement and the other forms, including a power of attorney to the effect required by Article XVIII, as the General Partner reasonably may require to comply with this Article XIII.

13.3(b). Effect of Assignment Without Substitution. An Assignee of Units who does not become a Substitute Limited Partner in accordance with this Section 13.3 and who desires to make a further Assignment of his Units shall be subject to all of the provisions of Sections 13.2, 13.3 and 13.4 to the same extent and in the same manner as a Limited Partner desiring to make an Assignment of his Units. Failure or refusal of the General Partner to admit an Assignee as a Substitute Limited Partner, if the Assignment otherwise complies with Section 13.2, and subsection (c) thereof in particular, shall not affect the right of the Assignee to receive Distributable Cash and the share of Income or Losses to which his predecessor in interest would have been entitled in accordance with Article XI and Article XIV.

13.3(c). Amendment of Records. The Partnership shall amend its records at least once each calendar quarter to effect the substitution of Substitute Limited Partners.

13.4 Status of an Assigning Limited Partner. If a Limited Partner Assigns all of his Units to an Assignee who becomes a Substitute Limited Partner, the assignor Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner in the Partnership and shall no longer have any of the rights or privileges of a Limited Partner.

13.5 Limited Right of Presentment for Redemption of Units

13.5(a). Limited Right to Redeem Units. Subject to the limitations set forth below, beginning with the admission of a Limited Partner to the Partnership, each Limited Partner (other than the General Partner or its Affiliates if they own Units) may request that the Partnership Redeem, for cash, up to 100% of the Limited Partner’s Units. This right of presentment shall be subject to the limitations set forth below.

	(i)		The Partnership shall be under no obligation to Redeem any Units of any Limited Partner and shall do so only with the prior Consent of the General Partner, which is in the sole discretion of the General Partner. In this regard, the General Partner may take into consideration the time of year during which a Redemption request is made, and the effect making a Redemption would have on the Partnership’s compliance with the 2% limitation described in clause (ii), below.
	(ii)		The Partnership shall not, in any calendar year, Redeem Units that, in the aggregate with all Units otherwise transferred in that calendar year, would exceed 2% of the Partnership’s total capital or profits interests as of the last day of that year.

A-36

	(iii)		No Reserves shall be established by the Partnership for the Redemption of Units. The availability of funds for the Redemption of any Unit shall be subject to the availability of sufficient Cash Flow. Furthermore, Units may be Redeemed only if the Redemption would not impair the capital or the Operations of the Partnership and would not result in the termination under the Code of the Partnership’s taxable year or its federal income tax status as a partnership, all as determined in the sole discretion of the General Partner.
	(iv)		The Partnership may charge a reasonable administrative fee as determined by our general partner in its sole discretion.

13.5(b). Applicable Redemption Price. The Redemption price for a Limited Partner’s Units (the “Applicable Redemption Price”) will depend on when the Limited Partner presents his Units for Redemption and shall be determined as set forth below. If a Limited Partner presents his Units for Redemption:

	(i)		during the Offering Period, the Redemption price will equal $89.50 per Unit for Units purchased by a Limited Partner at the Distribution Investment Unit Price, if any, and $93 per Unit for all other Units, less 100% of previous distributions paid to the Limited Partner per Unit;
	(ii)		during the Operating Period, but after the Offering Period of the Offering, the Redemption price will equal $89.50 per Unit for Units purchased by a Limited Partner at the Distribution Investment Unit Price, if any, and $93 per Unit for all other Units, plus a 4% annual return for each full twelve-month period since the Limited Partner was admitted as a Limited Partner, less 100% of previous distributions paid to the Limited Partner per Unit; or
	(iii)		during the Maturity Period, the Redemption price will equal the equity per Unit as set forth on the Partnership’s balance sheet in its most recent periodic report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission before the Redemption request, less 100% of any distributions paid to the Limited Partner per Unit since the date of the balance sheet.

13.5(c). Procedure for Presentment. A Limited Partner desiring to have a portion or all of his Units Redeemed shall submit a written request to the General Partner on a form approved by the General Partner and duly signed by all owners on the books of the Partnership of the Units to be Redeemed. Redemption requests shall be deemed given on the earlier of the date they are:

	(i)		personally delivered with receipt acknowledged; or
	(ii)		mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the General Partner’s address set forth in this Agreement.

Requests arising from death, major medical expense and family emergency related to disability or a material loss of family income, collectively “Hardship Redemptions,” shall be treated as having been received at 12:01 A.M. EST on the day of receipt and all other Redemption requests shall be deemed received with the start of the business day during which received.

13.5(d). Priority of Redemption Requests. If the General Partner receives requests for the Partnership to redeem more Units than there are funds sufficient to redeem, the General Partner shall use its reasonable efforts to honor requests for Redemptions of Units with the same request date first as to Hardship Redemptions, second so as to provide liquidity for IRAs or Qualified Plans to meet required distributions and finally as to all other Redemption requests.

13.5(e). Notice and Closing of Redemption of Units. Redemption requests shall be accepted or rejected quarterly following the date on which the General Partner receives a written request from any Limited Partner to Redeem the Limited Partner’s Units, and the General Partner shall deliver a written notice to the Limited Partner (the “Notice”):

	(i)		stating the number, if any, of the Units to be Redeemed; and
	(ii)		if appropriate:

(A) stating the date of the Redemption of the Units, which shall be a date within 30 days following the date of the Notice;

A-37

	(B)		stating the Applicable Redemption Price with respect to the Units to be Redeemed; and
	(C)		advising the Limited Partner that not less than 10 days before the Redemption date stated in the Notice (the “Delivery Date”) the Limited Partner must duly execute and deliver to the Partnership all transfer instruments and other documents requested by the Partnership to evidence the Redemption of the Units. In the General Partner’s discretion, these transfer instruments and documents may be prepared by the Partnership for execution by the Limited Partner and enclosed with the Notice.

On or before the Redemption date stated in the Notice, the Partnership shall pay the Applicable Redemption Price to the Limited Partner for each Unit Redeemed if:

	(i)		all of the Limited Partner’s transfer instruments and other documents requested by the Partnership are duly executed and returned to the Partnership no later than the Delivery Date stated in the Notice; and
	(ii)		the transfer instruments and other documents are in good order and acceptable to the General Partner, in its sole discretion.

13.5(f). Effect of Redemption. If all of the Units owned by a Limited Partner are Redeemed by the Partnership, then the Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner in the Partnership and shall no longer have any of the rights or privileges of a Limited Partner in the Partnership.

ARTICLE XIV — DISSOLUTION AND WINDING-UP

14.1 Events Causing Dissolution. The Partnership shall be dissolved on the happening of any of the following events (each a “Dissolution Event”):

14.1(a). Withdrawal of General Partner. The withdrawal of the General Partner, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, unless a Substitute General Partner has been admitted to the Partnership in accordance with Section 12.5.

14.1(b). Voluntary Dissolution. The voluntary dissolution of the Partnership either by:

	(i)		the General Partner with the Consent of a Majority Interest;
	(ii)		the Consent of a Majority Interest without action by the General Partner.
	(iii)		the Sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership not constituting a Financing Transaction, but only with the vote or Consent of the Majority Interest;
	(iv)		the expiration of the Partnership’s term as set forth in Section 7.1; or
	(v)		any other event that causes the dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership under the Delaware Act.

14.2 Winding Up of the Partnership; Capital Contribution by the General Partner On Dissolution

14.2(a). Effectiveness of Dissolution. Dissolution of the Partnership shall be effective on the day on which the Dissolution Event occurs, but the Partnership shall not terminate until a certificate of termination has been filed in accordance with the Delaware Act and the assets of the Partnership have been distributed as provided in Section 14.3. Notwithstanding the dissolution of the Partnership as provided above, its business and the affairs of the Partners, as such, shall continue to be governed by this Agreement until the Partnership is terminated.

14.2(b). Liquidation. On dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner (or any other Person effecting the winding-up) shall liquidate the assets of the Partnership and apply and distribute the proceeds as set forth in Section 14.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XIV, if the General Partner (or any other Person effecting the winding-up) determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership assets would cause undue loss to the Partners, the General Partner (or any other Person effecting the winding-up), in order to avoid the loss, may, after having notified all of the Limited Partners, to the extent not then prohibited by law, defer liquidation of, and withhold from distribution for a reasonable time, any assets of the Partnership except those necessary to satisfy the Partnership’s debts and obligations.

A-38

14.2(c). Procedures on Liquidation. In connection with the dissolution of the Partnership:

	(i)		all Income or Losses or items thereof, and all amounts required to be specially allocated for the period before final termination, shall be credited or charged, as the case may be, to the Partners in accordance with Article XI;
	(ii)		if after all requirements of clause (i) of this Section 14.2(c) have been accomplished, the General Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account, then within 30 days the General Partner shall contribute the amount of the deficit balance to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution, provided that for this purpose, any payments made by the General Partner as co-signatory or guarantor of any Indebtedness of the Partnership that has not yet been reimbursed to the General Partner by the Partnership at the time of dissolution of the Partnership, and any amounts due and unpaid to the General Partner with respect to any Partnership Loans at the time of dissolution, shall be deemed to be Capital Contributions by the General Partner to the Partnership and any obligation of the Partnership to reimburse or repay those amounts to the General Partner shall then cease;
	(iii)		the proceeds from Sales or other dispositions of all other assets of the Partnership shall be applied and distributed in liquidation of the Partnership as provided in Section 14.3; and
	(iv)		the General Partner (or any other Person effecting the winding-up) shall file all certificates and other documents as may be required by the Delaware Act, the Code and any other applicable laws to terminate the Partnership.

14.2(d). Fees for Winding-Up. Whether the winding-up of the Partnership is effected by the General Partner or any other Person (whether selected by the Majority Interest or as required by law), either the General Partner or the other Person, as the case may be, shall be compensated for its services in connection therewith in an amount not in excess of the amount customarily paid to non-affiliated third-parties rendering similar services in respect of similar entities in the same geographic location.

14.3 Application of Liquidation Proceeds On Dissolution. Following the occurrence of any Dissolution Event, the proceeds of liquidation Sales and the Sale or other disposition of the other assets of the Partnership shall be applied as follows and in the following order of priority:

	(i)		first, to the payment of creditors of the Partnership in the order of priority as provided by law, except obligations to Partners or their Affiliates;
	(ii)		next, to setting up any Reserve that the General Partner (or any other Person effecting the winding-up) determines is reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liability or obligation of the Partnership or the General Partner; the Reserve may, in the sole discretion of the General Partner (or the other Person effecting the winding-up) be deposited with an escrow agent selected by it to be held in escrow for the purpose of disbursing the Reserve in payment of any of the aforementioned contingencies, and at the expiration of the period that the General Partner (or the other Person effecting the winding-up) deems advisable, to distribute the remaining balance as provided in subsections (iii) through (vi), below;
	(iii)		next, to the payment of all obligations to the Partners in proportion to, and to the extent of, advances made by them to the Partnership under the provisions of this Agreement;
	(iv)		next, to the payment of all reimbursements to which the General Partner and its Affiliates may be entitled under this Agreement;
	(v)		next, to the Partners in proportion to and to, the extent of, the positive balances of their Capital Accounts; and
	(vi)		thereafter, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners.

14.4 No Recourse Against Other Partners. Each Limited Partner shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return of, and any return on, the Limited Partner’s Capital Contribution (whether before or after a Dissolution Event). If, after the complete payment and discharge of all debts, liabilities and other obligations of the Partnership, the assets of the

A-39

Partnership are insufficient to provide the return of, or a return on, the Capital Contribution of any Limited Partner, the Limited Partner shall have no recourse against any other Limited Partner, the Partnership or the General Partner, except to the extent that the General Partner is obligated to make an additional Capital Contribution to the Partnership under Section 14.2.

ARTICLE XV — FISCAL MATTERS

15.1 Title to Property and Bank Accounts. Unless trustees, nominees or other agents are used as permitted under this Agreement, all Investments and other assets of the Partnership shall be held in the name of the Partnership or its subsidiaries. The funds of the Partnership shall be deposited in the name of the Partnership in any bank account or accounts as are designated by the General Partner, and withdrawals therefrom shall be made on the signature of the General Partner or any Person or Persons as may be designated in writing by the General Partner. The funds of the Partnership shall not be commingled with the funds of any other Person.

15.2 Maintenance of and Access to Basic Partnership Documents

15.2(a). Maintenance of Documents. The General Partner shall maintain at the General Partner’s principal office, on behalf of the Partnership, the following documents:

	(i)		the Participant List;
	(ii)		a copy of the certificate of limited partnership and all amendments thereto, together with executed copies of any powers of attorney under which the certificate or any amendment thereto has been executed;
	(iii)		copies of this Agreement and any amendments hereto;
	(iv)		copies of the audited financial statements of the Partnership for the three most recently completed Fiscal Years, including, in each case, the balance sheet and related statements of operations, cash flows and changes in Partners’ equity at or for those Fiscal Years, together with the reports of the Partnership’s independent auditors with respect thereto;
	(v)		copies of the Partnership’s federal, state and local income tax returns and reports, if any, for its three most recently completed Fiscal Years;
	(vi)		records as required by applicable tax authorities, including those specifically required to be maintained by “reportable transactions,” if so required of the Partnership; and

(vii) investor suitability records for Units sold for a period of six years.

15.2(b). Access to Records. Each Limited Partner and his designated representative shall be given access to the records specified in Section 15.2(a)(i) through (vi) and any other records of the Partnership that relate to the business affairs and financial condition of the Partnership, other than records under Section 15.2(a)(vii) relating to other Limited Partners, and may inspect the same and make copies of the same during normal business hours, subject to the following:

	(i)		a reasonable copying charge;
	(ii)		providing reasonable advance written notice to the General Partner that states the date and time of the intended visit and identifies with reasonable specificity the documents that the Limited Partner or his representative wishes to examine or copy; and
	(iii)		in the case of copying the Participant List, compliance with Section 15.2(c).

15.2(c). Maintenance of Participant List. The General Partner shall mail a copy of the Participant List to any Limited Partner or his representative within 10 days of the Partnership’s receipt of the Limited Partner’s written request therefor and a check in payment of the reasonable copying charge permitted under Section 15.2(b)(i); provided that, in connection with any request for a copy of the Participant List, the Limited Partner shall provide the certification required in the penultimate sentence of Section 15.2(d).

15.2(d). General Partner’s Refusal to Provide Participant List. If the General Partner refuses or neglects to:

A-40

	(i)		permit a Limited Partner or his representative to examine the Participant List at the General Partner’s principal office during normal business hours and with reasonable notice to the General Partner; or
	(ii)		mail a copy of the Participant List to the Limited Partner or his representative as required by Section 15.2(c);

the General Partner shall be liable to the Limited Partner who requested the Participant List for the costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Limited Partner to compel production of the Participant List, and for the actual damages (if any) suffered by the Limited Partner by reason of the General Partner’s refusal or neglect.

It shall be a defense that the requesting Limited Partner failed or refused to provide the General Partner with the certification called for in the next sentence or that the actual purpose and reason for a request to inspect or copy the Participant List is to secure the Participant List or other information for the purpose of the sale, reproduction or other use thereof for a commercial purpose other than in the interest of the Limited Partner relative to the affairs of the Partnership. The General Partner shall require a Limited Partner requesting the Participant List to certify that the Participant List is not being requested for the purpose of the sale, reproduction or other use thereof for a commercial purpose unrelated to the Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership or for any unlawful purpose. The remedies provided under this Section 15.2(d) to Limited Partners requesting to inspect or copy the Participant List are in addition to, and shall not in any way limit, other remedies available to Limited Partners under federal law or the laws of any state.

15.4 Fiscal Year. Except as may otherwise be determined from time to time by the General Partner (in a manner which is consistent with the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder or as consented to by the IRS), the Fiscal Year of the Partnership for both federal income tax and financial reporting purposes shall end on December 31 of each year.

15.5 Reports

	(ii)		a detailed statement identifying any services rendered or to be rendered to the Partnership by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates and the compensation received therefor and summarizing the terms and conditions of any contract that was not filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement; and the requirement for this statement shall not be circumvented by lump-sum payments to non-Affiliates who then disburse the funds to, or for the benefit of, the General Partner or its Affiliates; and
	(iii)		until all Capital Contributions have been invested or committed to investment in Investments and Reserves, used to pay permitted Front-End Fees or returned to the Limited Partners (as provided in Section 11.5), a special report concerning all Investments made during the Fiscal Quarter which shall include:

	(ii)		an analysis prepared by the General Partner (which need not be audited, but shall be reviewed by the Accountants) of distributions made to the General Partner and the Limited Partners during the Fiscal Year, separately identifying the portion (if any) of the distributions from:

	(A)		Cash Flow during the period;
	(B)		Cash Flow from prior periods that had been held as Reserves;
	(C)		Cash Flow and/or Distributable Cash from Sales and refinancings; and
	(D)		Capital Contributions originally used to establish a Reserve;

(iii) a status report with respect to each Investment that individually represents at least 10% of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Partnership’s Investments held at the end of the Fiscal Year, which report shall state:

	(B)		how the Equipment or collateral was being used as of the end of the Fiscal Year (e.g., leased, serving as collateral for Secured Loans, operated directly by the Partnership, or held for lease, repair or Sale);
	(C)		the projected or intended use of the Equipment or collateral during the next following Fiscal Year;
	(D)		the remaining term of the Investment; and
	(E)		such other information as may be relevant to the value or use of the Equipment or collateral as the General Partner, in good faith, deems appropriate;

(iv) a breakdown of all fees and other compensation paid, and all costs and expenses reimbursed, to the General Partner or its Affiliates by the Partnership during the Fiscal Year identified (and properly allocated) as to type and amount:

	(A)		in the case of any fees and other compensation, the breakdown shall provide the information required under Section 15.5(a)(ii); and
	(B)		in the case of reimbursed costs and expenses, the General Partner shall also prepare an allocation of the total amount of all those items in accordance with this Agreement. The cost and expense allocation shall be reviewed by the Accountants in connection with their audit of the financial statements of the Partnership for the Fiscal Year in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants United States Auditing standards relating to special reports and such Accountants shall state that, in connection with the performance of the audit, they reviewed, at a minimum, the time records of, and the nature of the work performed by, individual employees of the General Partner or its Affiliates, the cost of whose services were reimbursed. The additional costs of the special review required by this clause shall be itemized by the Accountants on a Program by Program basis and shall be reimbursed to the General Partner by the Partnership only to the extent that the reimbursement, when added to the cost for administrative services rendered,

A-42

does not exceed the amount the Partnership would be required to pay independent third-parties for comparable administrative services in the same geographic location; and

(v) a special report containing the information required by Section 15.5(a)(iii).

15.5(c). Reports to State Securities Law Administrators. The General Partner shall submit to all state securities law Administrators, including Arizona, California and Ohio, any information which the Administrator requires, including, but not limited to:

15.6 Tax Returns and Tax Information. The General Partner shall:

	(i)		prepare, or cause the Accountants to prepare, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, the Partnership’s tax returns (federal, state, local and foreign, if any) for each Fiscal Year within 75 days after the end of the Fiscal Year; and
	(ii)		deliver to each Partner by March 15 following each Fiscal Year a Schedule K-1 or other statement permitted under the Code or by the IRS setting forth the Partner’s share of the Partnership’s Income or Loss for the Fiscal Year.

Such decisions must be acceptable to the Accountants, and the General Partner may rely on the advice of the Accountants as to whether its decisions are in accordance with the methods adopted by the Partnership for federal income tax purposes or GAAP.

15.8 Federal Tax Elections. The Partnership, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, may make elections for federal tax purposes as follows:

15.8(a). Elections Under Section 754 of the Code. In case of a transfer of all or part of a General Partner’s Partnership Interest or a Limited Partner’s Units, the Partnership may timely elect under Section 754 of the Code (or corresponding provisions of future law), and under similar provisions of applicable state or local income tax laws, to adjust the basis of the assets of the Partnership. In that event, any basis adjustment attributable to the election shall be allocated solely to the transferee.

15.8(b). Other Elections. All other elections, including but not limited to the adoption of accelerated depreciation and cost recovery methods, required or permitted to be made by the Partnership under the Code shall be made by the General Partner in a manner that will, in the opinion of the General Partner (as advised by Counsel or the Accountants as the General Partner deems necessary), be most advantageous to the Limited Partners as a group. The Partnership shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law and regulations, elect to treat as an expense for federal income tax purposes all amounts incurred by it for state and local taxes, interest and other charges that may, in accordance with applicable law and regulations, be considered to be expenses.

15.8(c). Agreement to be Bound by Elections. The Partnership, the General Partner and each Limited Partner hereby agree to be legally bound by the provisions of this Section 15.8(c) and further agree that, in the General Partner’s sole discretion, the Partnership and all of its Partners may elect a safe harbor under which the fair market value of a Partnership Interest that is transferred in connection with the performance of services is treated as being equal to the liquidation value of that interest for transfers on or after the date final regulations providing the safe harbor are published in the Federal Register. If the General Partner determines that the Partnership and all of its Partners will elect the safe harbor, which determination may be made solely in the best interests of the General Partner, then the Partnership, the General Partner and each Limited Partner further agree that:

(i) the Partnership shall be authorized and directed to elect the safe harbor;

A-43

	(ii)		the Partnership and each of its Partners (including any Person to whom a Partnership Interest is transferred in connection with the performances of services) shall comply with all requirements of the safe harbor with respect to all Partnership Interests transferred in connection with the performance of services while the election remains effective; and
	(iii)		the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may cause the Partnership to terminate the safe harbor election, which determination may be made in the best interests of the General Partner.

15.9 Tax Matters Partner

15.9(a). Designation of Tax Matters Partner. The General Partner is hereby designated the Partnership’s “Tax Matters Partner” under Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code, and may hereafter designate its successor as Tax Matters Partner, to manage administrative and judicial tax proceedings conducted at the Partnership level by the IRS with respect to Partnership matters. Any Partner, other than the Tax Matters Partner, shall have the right to participate in these administrative or judicial proceedings to the extent provided by Section 6224 of the Code and at the Partner’s own expense. The Limited Partners shall not act independently with respect to tax audits or tax litigation affecting the Partnership, and actions taken by the General Partner as Tax Matters Partner in connection with tax audits of the Partnership shall be binding in all respects on the Limited Partners, except as provided below.

15.9(b). Duties of Tax Matters Partner. The Tax Matters Partner shall have the following duties:

	(i)		to the extent and in the manner required by applicable law and regulations, the Tax Matters Partner shall furnish the name, address, number of Units and taxpayer identification number of each Limited Partner to the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate (the “Secretary”); and
	(ii)		to the extent and in the manner required by applicable law and regulations, the Tax Matters Partner shall keep each Limited Partner informed of administrative and judicial proceedings for the adjustment at the Partnership level of any item required to be taken into account by a Limited Partner for income tax purposes (these judicial proceedings are referred to hereinafter as “judicial review”).

15.9(c). Indemnification of Tax Matters Partner. Subject to Section 9.3, the Partnership shall indemnify and reimburse the Tax Matters Partner for all expenses, including legal and accounting fees, claims, liabilities, losses and damages incurred in connection with any administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to the tax liability of the Partners. The payment of all of these expenses shall be made before any distributions are made from Distributable Cash. Neither the General Partner nor any Affiliate or other Person, except the Partnership, shall have any obligation to provide funds for this purpose. The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the Tax Matters Partner in connection with any of these proceedings, except to the extent required by law, shall be in the sole discretion of the Tax Matters Partner. The provisions on limitations of liability of the General Partner and indemnification set forth in Section 9.3 shall be fully applicable to the General Partner acting in its capacity as Tax Matters Partner.

15.9(d). Authority of Tax Matters Partner. The Tax Matters Partner is hereby authorized, but not required:

ARTICLE XVI — MEETINGS AND VOTING RIGHTS OF THE LIMITED PARTNERS

16.1 Meetings of the Limited Partners

16.1(a). Procedure for Limited Partner Meetings. A meeting of the Limited Partners for any purpose(s) may be called by the General Partner. A meeting of the Limited Partners shall be called by the General Partner following its receipt of written request(s), either in person or by registered mail, for a meeting on any matter on which the Limited Partners may vote as set forth in this Article XVI from Limited Partners holding 10% or more of the then outstanding Units. Every request for a meeting shall state with reasonable specificity the purpose(s) for which the meeting is to be held and the text of any matter, resolution or action proposed to be voted on by the Limited Partners at the meeting. Within 10 days following the receipt of the request, the General Partner shall give Notice to all Limited Partners of the meeting in the manner and at a time and place as specified in Section 16.1(b), below. In addition, the General Partner may, and if so requested by the Limited Partners in the manner described above, shall, submit the proposed matter, resolution or action for action by Consent of the Limited Partners in lieu of a meeting.

16.1(b). Delivery of Notice. A Notice of any meeting or action by written Consent of the Limited Partners shall be given to all Limited Partners either:

	(i)		personally or by certified mail (if a meeting is being called or a Consent action is being solicited, by the General Partner on the request of the Limited Partners); or
	(ii)		by regular mail (if a meeting is being called or a Consent action is being solicited, by the General Partner).

A meeting called pursuant to a Notice shall be held, or Consent action taken, not less than 15 days nor more than 60 days after the date a Notice is distributed, subject to extension to the extent necessary to comply with applicable requirements of the Commission and Administrators. The Notice shall be delivered or mailed to each Limited Partner at his record address, or at any other address as he may have furnished in writing to the General Partner as his address for receipt of Notices and, with respect to meetings, shall state the place, date and time of the meeting (which shall be the place, date and time specified in the request for the meeting or, if none, any other place, date and time as the General Partner determines to be reasonable and convenient to the Limited Partners) and, with respect both to meetings or solicitations of Consent actions, shall state the purpose(s) for which the meeting is to be held or the Consent action is requested.

If any meeting of the Limited Partners is properly adjourned to another time or place, and if any announcement of the adjournment of time or place is made at the meeting, it shall not be necessary to give notice of the adjourned meeting. The presence in person or by proxy of a Majority Interest shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the Limited Partners; provided, however, that, if there is no quorum, holders of a majority of the Units so present or so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice, until a quorum has been obtained. No Notice of any meeting of Limited Partners need be given to any Limited Partner who attends in person or is represented by proxy (except when a Limited Partner attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened) or to any Limited Partner otherwise entitled to Notice who has executed and filed with the records of the meeting, either before or after the time thereof, a written waiver of Notice.

16.1(c). Record Date for Voting. For the purpose of determining the Limited Partners entitled to vote on any matter submitted to the Limited Partners at any meeting of the Limited Partners, or to take action by Consent in lieu thereof, or any adjournment thereof, the General Partner or the Limited Partners requesting the meeting may fix, in advance, a date as the record date, which shall be a date not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days prior to the meeting (or Consent action), for the purpose of that determination.

A-45

16.1(d). Proxies. Any Limited Partner may authorize any Person or Persons to act for such Limited Partner by proxy in respect of all matters as to which the Limited Partner is entitled to participate, including matters proposed for actions by Consent. Every proxy must be signed by a Limited Partner or his attorney-in- fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Limited Partner executing it.

16.1(e). Procedure at Meeting. At each meeting of the Limited Partners, the Limited Partners present or represented by proxy may adopt rules for the conduct of the meeting as they deem appropriate, provided that the rules shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

16.2 Voting Rights of the Limited Partners. Subject to Section 16.3, the Limited Partners, acting by Consent of the Majority Interest, or by the vote of the Majority Interest at a meeting duly called for that purpose, may take the following actions without the concurrence of the General Partner:

	(i)		amend this Agreement;
	(ii)		dissolve the Partnership;
	(iii)		remove the General Partner and elect one or more Substitute General Partners;
	(iv)		approve or disapprove of the Sale or series of Sales of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Partnership, except any Sale or series of Sales that is in connection with a Financing Transaction or in the ordinary course of liquidating the Partnership’s Investments during the Maturity Period; and
	(v)		modify or terminate on 60 days’ notice any contract or arrangement with the General Partner or any of its Affiliates to provide goods or services for the Partnership other than this Agreement, the Origination and Servicing Agreement and all other contracts specifically authorized under this Agreement.

The General Partner and its Affiliates may not vote or Consent on matters submitted to the Limited Partners regarding the removal of the General Partner or regarding any transaction between the Partnership and the General Partner or any of its Affiliates. In determining the requisite percentage of Units necessary to approve a matter on which the General Partner or its Affiliates may not vote or Consent, any Units owned by the General Partner or its Affiliates shall not be included in either the numerator or the denominator.

16.3 Limitations on Action by the Limited Partners. This Agreement may not be amended by the Limited Partners to do the following:

	(i)		allow the Limited Partners to take part in the control or management of the Partnership’s business or otherwise subject a Limited Partner to liability as a general partner under the Delaware Act or under the laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Partnership may be qualified or own an Investment;
	(ii)		alter the rights, powers, duties or obligations of the General Partner without the Consent of the General Partner;
	(iii)		contract away the fiduciary duty owed to any Limited Partner by the General Partner;
	(iv)		except in connection with the offer and sale of the Units as provided in this Agreement, alter the interest of any Partner in any item of Income or Loss or in distributions without the consent of each affected Partner; or
	(v)		Without the consent of all of the Limited Partners, amend the provisions of this Agreement relating to how this Agreement may be amended.

ARTICLE XVII — AMENDMENTS

17.1 Amendments by the General Partner. In addition to any amendments by the Limited Partners under Section 16.2, as limited by Section 16.3, this Agreement may be amended, at any time and from time to time, by the General Partner without the Consent of a Majority Interest:

A-46

	(i)		to add to the representations, duties or obligations of the General Partner or to surrender any right or power granted to the General Partner in this Agreement;
	(ii)		to cure any ambiguity in this Agreement, to correct or supplement any provision in this Agreement that may be inconsistent with any other provision in this Agreement, or to add any provision to this Agreement with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement that is not inconsistent with the other provisions of this Agreement;
	(iii)		to preserve the status of the Partnership as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, or as a limited partnership under the Delaware Act or any comparable law of any other state in which the Partnership may be required to be qualified;
	(iv)		to delete any provision of this Agreement, or add any provision to this Agreement, required to be so deleted or added by the staff of the Commission, by any other federal or state regulatory body or other agency (including, without limitation, any “blue sky” commission), or by any Administrator or similar such official;
	(v)		to permit the Units to fall within any exemption from the definition of “plan assets” contained in Section 2510.3-101 of Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations or any successor regulation or law;
	(vi)		if the Partnership is advised by Counsel, the Accountants or the IRS that any allocation of Income, Loss or distribution provided for in this Agreement is unlikely to be respected for federal income tax purposes, the General Partner may amend the allocation provisions of this Agreement, in accordance with that advice to the minimum extent necessary to comply with federal income tax requirements and still effect, as nearly as practicable, the original plan of allocations and distributions set forth in this Agreement; and
	(vii)		to change the name of the Partnership or the location of its principal office.

ARTICLE XVIII — POWER OF ATTORNEY

18.1 Appointment of Attorney-in-Fact. By subscribing for Units and being admitted as a Limited Partner of the Partnership under this Agreement, each Limited Partner makes, constitutes and appoints the General Partner, each authorized officer of the General Partner and each Person who thereafter becomes a Substitute General Partner during the term of the Partnership, with full power of substitution, the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of, and in the name, place and stead of, the Limited Partner, with the power from time to time to make, execute, sign, acknowledge, swear to, verify, deliver, record, file and publish:

	(i)		this Agreement, the Partnership’s certificate of limited partnership and any amendment of any thereof, including, without limitation, amendments reflecting the addition of any Person as a Partner or any admission or substitution of other Partners (or the Capital Contribution made by any Person or by any Partner) and any other document, certificate or instrument required to be executed and delivered, at any time, in order to reflect the admission of any Partner (including, without limitation, any Substitute General Partner and any Substitute Limited Partner) to the Partnership;
	(ii)		any other document, certificate or instrument required to reflect any action of the Partners duly taken in the manner provided for in this Agreement, whether or not the Limited Partner voted in favor of or otherwise Consented to the action;
	(iii)		any other document, certificate or instrument that may be required by any regulatory body or other agency or the applicable laws of the United States, any state or any other jurisdiction in which the Partnership is doing or intends to do business or that the General Partner deems advisable;
	(iv)		any certificate of dissolution or cancellation of the certificate of limited partnership that may be reasonably necessary to effect the termination of the Partnership; and
	(v)		any instrument or documents required to continue or terminate the business of the Partnership under Section 12.5 and Article XIV; provided that no attorney-in-fact shall take any action as attorney-in-fact for any Limited Partner if the action could in any way increase the liability of the Limited Partner beyond the

A-47

liability expressly set forth in this Agreement or alter the rights of the Limited Partner under Article XI, unless (in either case) the Limited Partner has given a power of attorney to the attorney-in-fact expressly for that purpose.

18.2 Amendments to Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership. If, under this Agreement, any action, adoption proposal, right, power or authority requires the Consent, vote, ratification or approval of fewer than all of the Limited Partners, then, on the satisfaction of that requirement, the Consent, vote, ratification or approval shall be deemed, and each Limited Partner hereby agrees that it shall constitute, that of all of the Limited Partners for all purposes, including unanimity requirements under the Delaware Act. Limited Partners who did not respond in connection with the proposed Consent, vote, ratification or approval, if any, shall be deemed to have abstained for all purposes under this Agreement.

18.3 Power Coupled With an Interest. The grant of authority by each Limited Partner in Section 18.1:

	(i)		is a special power of attorney coupled with an interest in favor of the attorney-in-fact and shall be irrevocable and shall survive the death, incapacity, insolvency, dissolution or termination of the Limited Partner;
	(ii)		may be exercised for the Limited Partner by a signature of the attorney-in-fact or by listing or referring to the names of all of the Limited Partners, including that Limited Partner, and executing any instrument with a single signature of any one of the attorneys-in-fact acting as attorney-in-fact for all of them; and
	(iii)		shall survive the Assignment by any Limited Partner of all or any portion of the Limited Partner’s Units, provided that, if any Assignee of all of a Limited Partner’s Units has furnished to the General Partner a power of attorney complying with the provisions of Section 18.1 and the admission to the Partnership of the Assignee as a Substitute Limited Partner has been approved by the General Partner, this power of attorney shall survive the Assignment with respect to the assignor Limited Partner for the sole purpose of enabling the attorneys-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and file any instrument necessary to effect the Assignment and admission and shall thereafter terminate with respect to the assignor Limited Partner.

A-48

19.4 Binding Effect. Except to the extent required under the Delaware Act and for fees, rights to reimbursement and other compensation provided as such, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of, or be enforceable by, any creditor of the Partnership.

19.6 Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings of the parties in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement that conflict with the express terms of this Agreement.

19.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed by each party to this Agreement on a separate counterpart (including, in the case of a Limited Partner, a separate Subscription Agreement or signature page executed by one or more the Partners), but all counterparts, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

Notwithstanding the assignment, if any, however, the General Partner, and not the assignee, shall remain solely liable for the General Partner’s obligations under this Agreement.

19.11 Waiver of Action for Partition. Each of the parties to this Agreement irrevocably waives during the term of the Partnership any right that he may have to maintain any action for partition with respect to the Partnership’s Investments and other property and assets.
