any part of any distribution) made to any Partner pursuant to Section 11 or
13 hereof shall (unless so designated in the Partnership's Certificate of
Limited Partnership) be deemed a return or withdrawal of capital, even if
such distribution is made with respect to any fiscal period for which the

depreciation or any other non-cash item accounted for as a loss or
deduction from or offset to Partnership income, and that no allocation to
any Partner of any loss, whether attributable to depreciation or otherwise,
pursuant to Section 9 hereof shall create any asset of or obligation to the
Partnership, even if such allocation reduces such Partner's Capital Account
or creates or increases a deficit in such Partner's Capital Account. It is
also the intent of the Partners that no Partner shall be obligated to pay
any such amount to or for the account of the Partnership or any creditor of
the Partnership. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds
that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Limited Partner
is obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the
obligation of such Limited Partner and not of the General Partners or of
the Partnership.
(f) Any General Partner shall also be a Limited Partner to the
extent that it purchases, or becomes a transferee of, and a substituted
Limited Partner (pursuant to Section 14 hereof) with respect to, any
Limited Partnership Interests or portions thereof, and to such extent shall
be treated in all respects as a Limited Partner.
(g) No Partner shall be entitled to receive interest with respect
to any Capital Contribution or on such Partner's Capital Account,
notwithstanding any disproportion therein among the Partners.
(h) The General Partner and its Affiliates shall purchase all

engage in or possess any interest in other business ventures of any kind,
independently or with others, including but not limited to the ownership,
financing, leasing, operating, management, syndication, brokerage,
development or renting of real or personal property. The fact that a
Partner (or such other Person) may encounter opportunities to purchase,
otherwise acquire, lease, sell or otherwise dispose of real or personal
property and may take advantage of such opportunities himself or introduce
such opportunities to entities in which he has or has not any interest,
shall not subject such Partner (or such other Person) to liability to the
Partnership or any of the other Partners on account of the lost
opportunity. Neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall have any right
by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership relationship created hereby
or by virtue of the Joint Venture Agreement or the partnership relation
created thereby in or to such ventures, or to the distributions, proceeds,
income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such ventures, even
though competitive with the business of the Partnership or the Joint
Venture, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.
(h) Neither of the General Partners, nor any partner, officer,
director, employee or Affiliate of a General Partner, nor any partner,
officer, director, employee, stockholder or Affiliate of an Affiliate of a
General Partner, shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or
otherwise to the Partnership or any Limited Partner for any action taken or
failure to act on behalf of the Partnership in good faith within the scope
of the authority conferred on the foregoing Persons by this Agreement or by
law or for any act or omission that was consented to or approved of by the
Limited Partners, unless such action or failure to act was performed or
omitted fraudulently or constituted negligence (gross or otherwise).
(i) The Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless any Person
(herein collectively called the "Indemnified Parties"), who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (including any action by or in the right of
the Partnership or the Limited Partners) by reason of any acts, omissions
or alleged acts or omissions taken in good faith and arising out of his
activities as a General Partner or as a partner, officer, director,
employee or Affiliate of a General Partner, or as any partner, officer
director, employee, stockholder or Affiliate of an Affiliate of a General
Partner, on behalf of the Partnership or in furtherance of the interests of
the Partnership, against losses, damages or expenses for which such
Indemnified Party has not otherwise been reimbursed (including attorneys
fees, judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding, so long as he did not act, in connection with the acts or
omissions for which indemnification hereunder is sought, fraudulently or in
a manner constituting negligence (gross or otherwise). The termination of
any action, suit or proceeding by Judgment, order, settlement, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a
presumption that the Person acted fraudulently or in bad faith or in a
manner constituting negligence (gross or otherwise).
(j) No Limited Partner, in its capacity as a limited partner, shall
take any part in the management or control of the business of the
Partnership or transact any business for the Partnership.
(k) Beginning on January 1, 1992 any General Partner which is not a
corporation may withdraw from the Partnership without thereby incurring any
liability to the Partnership or to any Partner at the end of any calendar
year upon 30 days' prior notice to the other General Partners (and any
general partner of a partnership which is a General Partner may withdraw
from such partnership without thereby incurring any liability to the
Partnership or to any Partner) so long as:
7
(i) after such withdrawal there would remain at least one
General Partner, and
(ii) such withdrawal would not (in the opinion of the
Partnership's legal counsel, which shall be conclusive
for this purpose) result in the Partnership's ceasing to
be treated as a partnership for purposes of the then
applicable provisions of the United States Internal
Revenue Code, and
(iii) the remaining General Partner (or General Partners) shall
have agreed to elect to continue the Partnership business
after such withdrawal and to comply with the requirements
of Section 13(a) with respect to such election.
(l) The Corporate General Partner in its sole discretion may (but is
not required to) make, on behalf of the Partnership, the election referred
to in Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 a amended, or any
similar provision enacted in lieu thereof, on such terms and conditions as
it may determine in its sole discretion. Each of the Partners shall upon
request supply the information necessary to give proper effect to such
election.
(m) The General Partners covenant and agree that they have, and will
at all times in the future maintain, an aggregate net worth (including the
net worth of the managing general partners of the Associate General
Partner) sufficient to meet the presently existing requirements of
applicable regulations, rulings and policies of the Internal Revenue
Service in order that the Partnership will be in a position to be
classified as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes, and they will
use reasonable efforts to meet all future requirements set by the United
States of America, any agency thereof or the courts necessary for the
Partnership to be classified as a partnership for Federal income tax
purposes and not as an association taxable as a corporation.
(n) The failure of any Limited Partner to pay to the Partnership the
full amount of the Second Capital Contribution, Third Capital Contribution,
Fourth Capital Contribution, Fifth Capital Contribution, Sixth Capital
Contribution or Seventh Capital Contribution, as the case may be, required
of such Limited Partner under Section 6(d) hereof on or before January 15,
1985, January 15, 1986, January 15, 1987, January 15, 1988, January 15,
1989 and January 15, 1990, respectively, shall be deemed a default under
this Agreement by such Limited Partner. If at the time of such default, or
at any time subsequent thereto, the Partnership holds the defaulting
Limited Partner's Promissory Note then the Corporate General Partner, on
behalf of the Partnership, may take any actions that may be necessary to
enforce the Promissory Note, including, without limitation, the right to:
(a) commence legal proceedings against the defaulting Limited Partner to
compel payment of the Promissory Note; and (b) arrange a sale of such
defaulting Limited Partner's Interest. If the Corporate General Partner
elects to attempt to sell such defaulting Limited Partner's Interest, the
Corporate General Partner shall use its best efforts to arrange an
immediate sale of such defaulting Limited Partner's Interest in the
Partnership, the proceeds of which sale will be paid to the Partnership to
the extent necessary to satisfy such defaulting Limited Partner's
obligations to the Partnership, and any excess of such amount will be paid
to the defaulting Limited Partner, after deducting all expenses of sale
together with the Partnership's expenses related to attempting to enforce
the Limited Partner's obligations hereunder and pursuant to the Promissory
Note. Any sale arranged by the Corporate General Partner shall be on
commercially reasonable terms (taking into account the necessity for
concluding any such sale promptly, the restrictions on resale of the
Interest, the purchasers to whom it may be sold under applicable securities
laws, and the necessity of conducting a private sale of the Interest) as
determined by the Corporate General Partner in its sole discretion and may
involve (i) the sale of all or any portion of such Limited Partner's
Interest, and (ii) the General Partners (or any Person affiliated with the
General Partners) as the prospective purchaser. The Corporate General
Partner shall notify the defaulting Limited Partner in writing of the terms
of any proposed sale of such defaulting Limited Partner's Interest (or any
portion thereof specified by the Corporate General Partner) which it has
arranged pursuant to this Section 8(n), which notice shall also specify the
estimated amount (if any) for which the defaulting Limited Partner will
remain liable, notwithstanding such notice, to the Partnership if such
proposed sale is concluded (which amount shall consist of the full amount
of such Limited Partner's Second Capital Contribution, Third Capital
Contribution, Fourth Capital Contribution, Fifth Capital Contribution,
Sixth Capital Contribution and Seventh Capital Contribution, diminished by
any portions thereof previously paid by him and diminished by any
anticipated net proceeds, after deducting all expenses of sale and expenses
related to attempting to enforce the Limited Partner's obligations
hereunder and pursuant to the Promissory Note, to the Partnership from the
sale of all or a portion of his Interest in the Partnership, as set out
more fully hereinabove). If, as of the date five (5)
8
business days from the date of such notice, the defaulting Limited Partner
has not paid the Partnership in cash the full amount of his Second Capital
Contribution, Third Capital Contribution, Fourth Capital Contribution,
Fifth Capital Contribution, Sixth Capital Contribution or Seventh Capital
Contribution, as the case may be, then the Corporate General Partner may
conclude the sale of the Limited Partner's Interest (or the specified
portion thereof) on the terms specified in such notice and, upon such sale
having been concluded, the defaulting Limited Partner shall continue to be
liable to the Partnership for an amount equal to the full amount of his
Second Capital Contribution, Third Capital Contribution, Fourth Capital
Contribution, Fifth Capital Contribution, Sixth Capital Contribution and
Seventh Capital Contribution, diminished by any portions thereof previously
paid by him and diminished by the net proceeds (after deducting all
expenses of sale together with the Partnership's expenses related to
attempting to enforce the Limited Partner's obligations hereunder and
pursuant to the Promissory Note) to the Partnership from the sale of the
Interest or portion thereof sold. Any notification required by law of
intended disposition of the Limited Partner's Interest shall be deemed
reasonably and properly given if given at least five (5) business days
before such disposition. Any excess of the net proceeds over the
obligations of the defaulting Limited Partner, following deductions for the
expenses described above, shall be paid to the defaulting Limited Partner.
The Person to whom such defaulting Limited Partner's Interest (or portion
thereof) is sold shall take all right, title and interest of the defaulting
Limited Partner in that portion of such Interest of the defaulting Limited
Partner which was sold. In the event that the Corporate General Partner,
after following the above procedure, is unable to arrange a sale of all or
any portion of a defaulting Limited Partner's Interest in the Partnership,
then, but only if the Corporate General Partner so elects, such Limited
Partner shall lose all right and title to or interest in that portion of
his Interest which was unsold, and that portion of his Interest shall be
redistributed as provided below and his obligations to the Partnership
discharged with respect to that unsold portion (that portion of his
Interest which had not been sold being divided pro rata among the Limited
Partners and the General Partners, or, in the event of any such breach and
default by all of the Limited Partners, that portion of their Interests
which had not been sold being divided pro rata among the General Partners);
for purposes hereof, such pro rata division, from the date of such
election, shall result in a defaulting Limited Partner receiving or being
allocated, as the case may be, for purposes of determining all cumulative
cash distributions and profit and loss, respectively, of the Partnership,
only a percentage of such allocations or distributions from the date of
such election, such percentage being equal to the amount of his actual
Capital Contribution expressed as a percentage of the total Capital
Contribution he was obligated to make. Nothing herein shall obligate the
Corporate General Partner to make the election referred to in the preceding
sentence or limit any right of the Partnership to enforce a Promissory
Note.
9. ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES.
(a) The profits or losses for tax purposes of the Partnership, other
than any profits or losses attributable to the sale or other disposition of
all or substantially all of the Partnership Property or the Joint Venture
Property, shall be allocated as follows: subject to the provisions of
Section 9(f) below, 94% of such profits or losses shall be allocated among
the Limited Partners in proportion to their respective Percent Interests
set forth in Schedule A, and 6% of such profits or losses shall be
allocated to the General Partners; provided, however, that the books of the
Partnership shall be closed immediately prior to the first Periodic
Admission Date and any such profits or losses attributable to the period
prior to the first Periodic Admission Date shall be allocated 99.99% to the
General Partners and 0.01% to the Initial Limited Partner;
(b) The profits of the Partnership from any sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the Partnership Property or the
Joint Venture Property, after deducting any expenses relating to such sale
or other disposition, shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, there
shall be allocated to the General Partners an amount equal to the greater
of (A) 1% of such profits or (B) the amount distributable to the General
Partners as Sale Proceeds or Financing Proceeds from such sale or other
disposition in accordance with Section 11(b) hereof; (ii) second, if the
Capital Accounts with respect to each Limited Partnership Interest of the
Limited Partners are not then equal, profits shall be allocated to the
holder of a Limited Partnership Interests with a Capital Account which is
smaller in amount (or greater in deficit) than the Capital Account for any
other Limited Partnership Interest until the balance in such Capital
Account equals the balance in the Capital Account of the Limited
Partnership Interests which was next smallest in amount (or next greatest
in deficit) before such allocation, and thereafter such profits shall
continue to be allocated to each successive holder or group of holders of
Limited Partnership Interests
9
with Capital Accounts which are smallest in amount (or greatest in
deficit), until either the balances of all Capital Accounts with respect to
the Limited Partnership Interests are equal or all such profits have been
allocated; and (iii) third, any remaining profits shall be allocated among
the Limited Partners in proportion to their respective Percent Interests as
set forth in Schedule A. Notwithstanding the allocation in the first
sentence of this Section 9(b), if, after such allocation, the aggregate
deficit balances, if any, in the Capital Accounts of the General Partners
would exceed the Potential Unrealized Gain (as hereinafter defined) of the
Partnership on the date of such allocation (allocated pro rata between the
General Partners in proportion to the negative balances in their respective
Capital Accounts), then the allocation of profits to the Limited Partners
under clause (iii) of this Section 9(b) shall be reduced and the allocation
of profits to the General Partners under clause (i) of this Section 9(b)
shall be increased (to be shared by them in proportion to the deficit
balances in their respective Capital Accounts) to the extent necessary to
cause the aggregate deficit balances in the Capital Accounts of the General
Partners after such allocation to equal the Potential Unrealized Gain (but
the allocation of profits under clause (ii) of this Section 9(b) shall not
be affected by this sentence). Notwithstanding the allocation in the first
sentence of this Section 9(b), if, at any time profits are realized by the
Partnership on the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the Partnership Property or the Joint Venture Property, any current or
anticipated reduction of the Partnership's indebtedness (including the
Partnership's share of the Joint Venture's indebtedness) would cause the
deficit balances in the Capital Accounts of either or both of the General
Partners to be greater than its or their share of the Partnership's
indebtedness (including the Partnership's share of the Joint Venture's
indebtedness) after such reduction, then an allocation to each General
Partner of profits from sale or other disposition under this Section 9(b)
shall be made to the extent necessary to cause the deficit balance in each
General Partner's Capital Account to be no less than such General Partner's
share of the Partnership's indebtedness (including the Partnership's share
of the Joint Venture's indebtedness) after such reduction (but the
allocation of profits under clause (ii) of this Section 9(b) shall not be
affected by this sentence). "Potential Unrealized Gain" shall equal the
amount of profits which would be realized by the Partnership for Federal
income tax purposes (to the shared pro rata in proportion to the respective
deficit balances of the General Partners) if all Partnership Property
(including the Partnership's interest in the Joint Venture Property) were
sold for its fair market value as determined by the Corporate General
Partner (and all installment receivables of the Partnership and the Joint
Venture were collected) on the date of such allocation. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon the ultimate liquidation
of the Partnership, if a General Partner has a deficit balance in its
Capital Account, such General Partner will make a capital contribution
which, when added to the amount contributed by such General Partner
pursuant to Section 13(e) hereof, is equal to such deficit balance. The
allocations required in this Section 9 shall be applied to determine the
deficit balance, if any, in the General Partner's Capital Account upon such
ultimate liquidation, regardless of any adjustment to such allocations for
any other purpose (including any adjustment made by any amendment pursuant
to Section 19(d)).
(c) The losses from any sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the Partnership Property or the Joint Venture Property
shall be allocated 99% among the Limited Partners in proportion to their
respective Percent Interests as set forth in Schedule A, and 1% to the
General Partners.
(d) "Profits" or "losses" as used herein include, without
limitation, each item of Partnership income, gain, loss and deduction, and
the Partnership's allocable share of all such items from the Joint Venture
under the Joint Venture Agreement. Any credits of the Partnership for a
fiscal year shall be allocated as profits or losses of the Partnership
(other than any profits or losses attributable to the sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the Partnership Property or
attributable to the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all
of the Joint Venture Property by the Joint Venture) in accordance with this
Section 9, except that any investment tax credit shall be allocated only
among those Partners who were partners (for Federal income tax purposes) on
the date the property with respect to which such credit as earned was
placed in service by the Partnership or, in the case of any Joint Venture
Property by the Joint Venture.
(e) Profits or losses allocable to the General Partners pursuant to
Section 9(a) hereof, the first sentence of Section 9(b) hereof, and Section
9(c) hereof shall be allocated .01% to the Corporate General Partner and
99.99% to the Associate General Partner.
10
(f) The profits or losses from operations of the Partnership for the
calendar year 1984 for the periods beginning with each Periodic Admission
Date and ending immediately before the next succeeding Periodic Admission
Date or upon December 31, 1984, as the case may be, shall be allocated
among the Limited Partners who were Limited Partners during the period for
which profits and losses are being allocated in a manner which, to the
extent possible, will cause:
(i) if the first Periodic Admission Date occurs in May, 1984, then
(1) each Limited Partner admitted on the first Periodic Admission Date to
be allocated, with respect to each Limited Partnership Interest, losses
equal to 105% of the losses allocated to a Limited Partner admitted on the
second Periodic Admission Date with respect to a Limited Partnership
Interest; (2) each Limited Partner admitted on the third Periodic Admission
Date (if such Periodic Admission Date occurs) to be allocated, with respect
to each Limited Partnership Interest, losses equal to 90% of the losses
allocated to a Limited Partner admitted on the second Periodic Admission
Date with respect to a Limited Partnership Interest; and (3) each Limited
Partner admitted on a succeeding 1984 Periodic Admission Date (if any such
Periodic Admission Dates occur) to be allocated, with respect to each
Limited Partnership Interest, losses equal to such Limited Partner's
Admission Date Percentage of the losses allocated to a Limited Partner
admitted on the second 1984 Periodic Admission Date with respect to each
Limited Partnership Interest. The term "Admission Date Percentage" shall
mean an amount equal to 90% reduced by 2% for each month (or portion
thereof) by which the month in which such Limited Partner's Periodic
Admission Date occurs is later than July, 1984. For example, if the second
Periodic Admission Date occurs in June, 1984, and a Periodic Admission Date
occurs in October, 1984 (and after the third Periodic Admission Date), then
a Limited Partner admitted at such later date will, to the extent possible,
be allocated 84% of the losses per Limited Partnership Interest which are
allocated to a Limited Partner admitted at the second Periodic Admission
Date, because the Limited Partners admitted at such later date would be
allocated 2% less than 90% per month multiplied by the number of months (in
this case, three since July); or
(ii) if the first Periodic Admission Date occurs after May, 1984,
then (1) each Limited Partner admitted on the second Periodic Admission
Date to be allocated, with respect to each Limited Partnership Interest,
losses equal to 90% of the losses allocated to a Limited Partner admitted
on the first Periodic Admission Date with respect to a Limited Partnership
Interest, and (2) each Limited Partner admitted on a succeeding Periodic
Admission Date to be allocated losses equal to such Limited Partner's
Admission Date Percentage of the losses allocated to a Limited Partner
admitted on the first Periodic Admission Date with respect to a Limited
Partnership Interest.
Further, in the event that the Capital Account balance (following all
of the above allocations for calendar year 1984) with respect to any
Limited Partnership Interest is greater than it would be if 1984 profits
and losses allocable to the Limited Partners had been allocated in the
percentages specified in paragraphs (i) or (ii) of this Section 9(f) (due
to applicable law or otherwise), then profits or losses of the Partnership
from operations for calendar year 1985 shall first be allocated in an
amount and manner such that the Capital Account balances for all Limited
Partners are consistent with the ratios specified in paragraphs (i) or (ii)
of this Section 9(f). Thereafter, all profits or losses allocable to the
Limited Partners shall be allocated in accordance with Sections 9(a), 9(b)
and 9(c) hereof, as applicable.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, (i)
any interest income imputed to the Partnership with respect to a Limited
Partner's obligation to make any Capital Contribution (whether under the
Promissory Note or otherwise) shall be allocated to the Limited Partner who
was obligated to make such Capital Contribution, and any interest expense
attributable to any interim loans secured by the Partnership which will be
repaid from the Limited Partners' Capital Contributions shall be allocated
entirely to the Limited Partners, and (ii) any profit or loss directly
attributable to any additional Capital Contribution made by a General
Partner pursuant to the last sentence of Section 6(b) hereof shall be
allocated to such General Partner.
(h) The Corporate General Partner may amend the allocations set forth
in this Section 9 in accordance with the provisions of Section 19(d).
11
10. RECORDS AND BOOKS OF ACCOUNT. Proper and complete records and
books of account of the business of the Partnership shall be kept at the
principal office of the Partnership, and shall be open to inspection by any
Partner or his designated representatives at any reasonable time during
business hours. The Partnership books and records shall be kept in
accordance with good accounting practice (except that the Capital Accounts
shall be kept for tax purposes in accordance with tax accounting methods),
shall initially be kept on the cash basis, and may thereafter be kept for
accounting purposes on the cash or accrual basis, as the Corporate General
Partner shall determine. The Partnership books and records shall be kept
on the cash or accrual basis (and initially on the cash basis) for tax
purposes, as the Corporate General Partner shall determine. Quarterly
reports will be provided to the Limited Partners describing the status and
operations of the Partnership Property. In the event that the Partnership
is a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Corporate General Partner shall cause to be sent to each Partner within 120
days after the end of each Partnership fiscal year (which shall be on a
calendar year basis) financial statements including a balance sheet and
related statements of income and changes in financial position, accompanied
by a report of an independent certified public accountant stating that an
audit of such financial statements has been made in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. The annual financial statements
sent to the Limited Partners pursuant to the preceding sentence will
contain a complete statement of compensation and fees paid or accrued by
the Partnership to the General Partners and their Affiliates. The
Corporate General Partner shall cause to be delivered to each Partner, and
to each assignee of an Interest (or portion thereof), an estimated
statement of Partnership profit or loss for the current fiscal year of the
Partnership, which is expected to be delivered by November 1 of each year,
but in no event later than November 15 of each year. The Corporate General
Partner shall also cause to be sent to each Partner, and to each assignee
of an Interest (or any portion thereof) within 90 days after the end of
each Partnership fiscal year, a statement showing such Partner's share of
profits or losses, and credits of the Partnership for such year for Federal
income tax purposes and such further tax information as shall be necessary
for the preparation by such Partner of his Federal income tax return.
11. DISTRIBUTIONS OF PARTNERSHIP FUNDS.
(a) DISTRIBUTABLE CASH. The Distributable Cash (hereinafter
defined), if any, of the Partnership for each fiscal quarter shall be
distributed within 60 days after the close of such quarter to those persons
who are recognized as Partners as of the last day of the fiscal quarter for
which the distribution is being made, 94% to the Limited Partners in
proportion to their respective Percent Interests, as set forth in Schedule
A, and 6% to the General Partners. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
any cash receipts (less any directly related expenses) directly
attributable to any additional Capital Contribution made by a General
Partner pursuant to the last sentence of Section 6(b) hereof shall be
distributed entirely to such General Partner, with no effect upon the ratio
of distribution of all remaining Distributable Cash in accordance with the
preceding sentence.
The term "Distributable Cash" as used herein with respect to
any period shall mean all cash revenues and funds received by the
Partnership (other than funds received as Capital Contributions or the
proceeds of any loan, refinancing or the sale or other disposition of all
or substantially all of the Partnership Property or, by the Joint Venture,
of all or substantially all of the Joint Venture Property) in such period,
less the sum of the following (to the extent not made from funds received
as Capital Contributions or the proceeds of any loan, refinancing or the
sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Partnership
Property or the Joint Venture Property): (i) all sums paid to lenders
(including the General Partners and their Affiliates in their capacity as
lenders) in such period, (ii) all cash expenditures (including capital
expenditures) made in such period incident to the normal operation of the
Partnership's or the Joint Venture's business including the fees,
reimbursements and other amounts payable to the General Partners and
Affiliates thereof pursuant to Sections 8(d), 8(e), 8(f) and 11(d) hereof,
and (iii) such working capital and cash reserves or other amounts as the
Corporate General Partner reasonably determines to be necessary for the
proper operation of the Partnership's or the Joint Venture's business.
(b) SALE PROCEEDS OR FINANCING PROCEEDS. The entire net
proceeds received by the Partnership, after payment of any brokerage
commissions (not including commissions payable to the General Partners or
Affiliates pursuant to Section 8(d)) and other expenses incurred in
connection with any refinancing of any mortgage or other security interest
upon any of the Partnership Property or the Joint Venture Property or any
new or additional mortgages or other security interests placed upon any
such property, and payment of any indebtedness being refinanced, less any
portion thereof required for appropriate Partnership or Joint Venture
expenses (including the payment of any indebtedness of the Partnership) and
any reserves
12
for expenditures, acquisitions, working capital, contingent or
unforeseeable liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or Joint
Venture, or otherwise, deemed reasonably necessary by the Corporate General
Partner, and less any amount considered necessary by the Corporate General
Partner to purchase any interest in the Joint Venture or the Joint Venture
Property (whether pursuant to rights contained in the Joint Venture
Agreement or otherwise) are herein called "Financing Proceeds". The entire
net proceeds received by the Partnership from the sale or other disposition
of all or substantially all of the Partnership Property or the Joint
Venture Property (other than by sale, directly or indirectly, to the
Partnership) after deducting payment of brokerage commissions (not
including commissions payable to the General Partners or Affiliates
pursuant to Section 8(d)) and other expenses incurred in connection with
such sale or other disposition and payment of any mortgage or other
indebtedness of the Partnership for borrowed money other than indebtedness
assumed by the purchaser, and less any portion thereof required for
appropriate Partnership or Joint Venture expenses and less any reserves for
expenditures, working capital, contingent or unforeseeable liabilities or
obligations of the Partnership or the Joint Venture, or otherwise, deemed
reasonably necessary by the Corporate General Partner, and less any amount
considered necessary by the Corporate General Partner to purchase any
interest in the Joint Venture or the Joint Venture Property (whether
pursuant to rights contained in the Joint Venture Agreement or otherwise),
including any interest (except to the extent paid with respect to interest
on any underlying loan), principal or other cash proceeds received by the
Partnership as proceeds of any purchase money obligation arising from any
sale or other disposition of Partnership Property, or Joint Venture
Property, are herein called "Sale Proceeds".
Sale Proceeds and any Financing Proceeds which are distributed to the
Partners shall be distributed as follows:
(i) First, there shall be distributed to the Limited Partners an
amount equal to their aggregate Capital Contributions, reduced by any
previous distributions of Sale Proceeds and Financing Proceeds, in
proportion to their respective Percent Interests (until such amount for
each Limited Partner is exhausted) as set forth in Schedule A;
(ii) Second, there shall be distributed to the General Partners an
amount equal to their aggregate Capital Contributions, reduced by any
previous distributions of Sale Proceeds and Financing Proceeds, and
(iii) Third, the remainder of such Sale Proceeds and Financing
Proceeds shall be distributed 70% to the Limited Partners in proportion to
their respective Percent Interests, as set forth in Schedule A, and 30% to
the General Partners; provided, however, that distributions of Sale
Proceeds to the Limited Partners under this Section 11(b)(iii) shall be
made first to any Limited Partner whose Capital Account (with respect to a
Limited Partnership Interest) is greater in positive amount (or lesser in
deficit), after taking into account any allocation of gain pursuant to
Section 9(b)(ii), and thereafter to each successive Limited Partner or
group of Limited Partners with Capital Accounts which are greatest in
positive amount (or least in deficit) until the balances of all such
Capital Accounts (with respect to a Limited Partnership Interest) of the
Limited Partners are equal.
(c) All distributions to the General Partners under Sections 11(a)
and 11(b) hereof shall be made .01% to the Corporate General Partner and
99.99% to the Associate General Partner.
(d) Regardless of whether any distributions are made to the Limited
Partners, the Partnership shall reimburse the Corporate General Partner and
its Affiliates, at their cost, for the reasonable direct expenses (not
including salaries paid by the Corporate Genera] Partner to its officers
and directors, except as provided below), including but not limited to
costs of accounting, statistical or bookkeeping services and computing or
accounting equipment and travel, telephone and other costs and expenses
relating to the acquisition, financing and operation of the Partnership
Property or the Partnership's investment in the Joint Venture or the Joint
Venture Property (or negotiations relating thereto), which they incur in
performing services for the Partnership. The Partnership shall reimburse
the Corporate General Partner and its Affiliates for the salaries and
direct expenses of officers and employees of the Corporate General Partner
and its Affiliates while directly engaged in organizing, qualifying and
registering the Partnership and in marketing, distributing, processing and
establishing records of the Limited Partnership Interests. The Partnership
will also reimburse the Corporate General Partner and its Affiliates at
their cost (including without limitation salaries and related salary
expenses) for services which could be performed directly for the
Partnership by independent parties, such as legal, accounting, transfer
agent, data
13
processing, duplicating and other services. The amounts charged to the
Partnership for such services will not exceed the lesser of the actual
costs of such services or the amounts which the Partnership would be
required to pay to independent parties for comparable services.
12. REPRESENTATIONS OF THE LIMITED PARTNERS. Each Limited Partner,
or each individual signing on behalf of a Limited Partner that is not an
individual, by executing this Agreement, represents:
(a) That (if the Limited Partner is an individual) he is over
the age of twenty-one (21) years and is experienced in business affairs;
(b) That the Limited Partnership Interests being purchased by
such Limited Partner are for long-term investment and without present
intention of resale or other disposition; and
(c) That such Limited Partner is financially responsible and
able to meet his obligations hereunder, and that such Limited Partner knows
and acknowledges that this investment is by its nature highly speculative
and illiquid and that the transfer of the Limited Partnership Interests is
restricted.
13. DISSOLUTION.
(a) The dissolution, bankruptcy or withdrawal from the
Partnership of any General Partner shall dissolve the Partnership unless
within sixty (60) days thereafter all the remaining General Partners (or
General Partner, as the case may be) shall elect to continue the
Partnership business, which election shall be evidenced by a writing signed
by the remaining General Partners (or General Partner) and deposited at the
principal business office of the Partnership to be kept there with the
records and books of the Partnership (no other action or filing shall be
required to complete or evidence such election, except as may be required
by law). In such event, the Partnership shall not be dissolved, but shall
continue with the remaining General Partners (or General Partner). In the
event that the sole remaining General Partner shall be the Associate
General Partner, all rights, power and authority vested by this Agreement
in the Corporate General Partner shall be vested in the Associate General
Partner.
(b) All the Partners may agree in writing from time to time to
admit to the Partnership one or more new General Partners either in
addition to or in substitution of one or more of the previously incumbent
General Partners. No such addition or substitution of a new General
Partner shall work a dissolution of the Partnership.
(c) Only the happening of one of the following events shall work
a dissolution of the Partnership:
(i) The bankruptcy, dissolution or withdrawal from the
Partnership of the last remaining General Partner;
(ii) The reduction to cash or cash equivalents (other than
purchase money notes and security interests obtained by the Partnership or
the Joint Venture from the sale of all or substantially all of the
Partnership Property or the Joint Venture Property) of all of the
Partnership Property;
(iii) The agreement in writing by all of the Partners to dissolve
the Partnership or, subject to Section 17(b), the vote of the Limited
Partners under Section 17(a); or
(iv) The termination of the term of the Partnership pursuant to
Section 5 of this Agreement.
For purposes of Section 13(c)(i), the "bankruptcy" of a General
Partner shall be deemed to have occurred upon the expiration of 60 days
following the happening of any of the following (unless such case is
dismissed or the event is otherwise cured): (i) the filing of an
application by such General Partner for, or a consent to, the appointment
of a trustee of his assets, (ii) the filing by such General Partner of a
voluntary petition in bankruptcy or the filing of a pleading in any court
of record admitting in writing his inability to pay his debts as they come
due, (iii) the making by such General Partner of a general assignment for
the benefit of creditors, (iv) the filing by such General Partner of an
answer admitting the material allegations of, or his consenting to, or
defaulting in answering, a bankruptcy petition filed against him in any
bankruptcy proceeding or (v) the entry of an order, judgment or decree by
any court of competent jurisdiction adjudicating such General Partner a
bankrupt or appointing a trustee of his assets.
For purposes of Section 13(c)(i), the "dissolution" of a General
Partner shall not include a dissolution of the Associate General Partner by
reason of the death, bankruptcy, adjudication of incompetency, dissolution,
termination or withdrawal (whether voluntary or involuntary) of one or more
of the general partners of the Associate General Partner so long as the
remaining general partners of the Associate General Partner elect to
continue such partnership.
14
(d) In the event of the dissolution of the Partnership for
any reason, the Partners shall have the option, upon the consent of all of
them (other than any General Partner which may have become bankrupt,
dissolved, terminated or withdrawn from the Partnership and other than any
Limited Partner which may have died or withdrawn from the Partnership or
become bankrupt, dissolved or incompetent), to form a new partnership, on
such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon, for the purpose of
acquiring the Partnership Property and continuing the Partnership business.
Unless the Partners so agree, the Partnership shall be liquidated and shall
immediately commence to wind up its affairs. The Partners shall continue
to share profits or losses during the period of liquidation in the same
proportions as before dissolution. Subject to Section 8(c) hereof, the
Corporate General Partner in its sole discretion shall determine whether to
sell any Partnership Property, including but not limited to real property,
and if so, whether at a public or private sale, for what price and on what
terms. If the Corporate General Partner determines to sell or otherwise
dispose of any property or any interest therein, the Corporate General
Partner shall not be required to do so promptly but shall have full right
and discretion to determine the time and manner of such sale or sales
having due regard to the activity and condition of the relevant market and
general financial and economic conditions. After all such sales (if any),
the Corporate General Partner shall pay all debts and liabilities of the
Partnership, including all costs of dissolution and winding up, and then
shall distribute the proceeds of such sales, together with all cash and
other property then owned by the Partnership, as follows:
(i) The Corporate General Partner may set up any
reserve it deems reasonably necessary for any contingent liabilities or
obligations of the Partnership to Persons other than Partners arising out
of or in connection with the Partnership. Such reserves will be paid over
by the Corporate General Partner to a bank or trust company to act as
escrow agent or to a reputable Person selected by the Corporate General
Partner. Any such escrow agent will hold such reserves for payment of any
of the aforementioned contingencies and, at the expiration of such period
as the Corporate General Partner will designate, distribute the balance
thereafter remaining in the manner provided in clause (ii) of this
Section 13(d).
(ii) Thereafter, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 11(b) of this Agreement.
(e) Each Limited Partner shall look solely to the assets of
the Partnership for all distributions with respect to the Partnership and
his Capital Contribution thereto and share of profits or losses thereof,
and shall have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution or otherwise) against
any General Partner or any Limited Partner. Upon dissolution and
termination of the Partnership, the General Partners shall contribute to
the Partnership an aggregate amount equal to (and except as provided in
Section 9(b) shall not be obligated to contribute more than) the amount
which is determined to be the smaller of (i) the deficit balance in their
Capital Accounts at such termination or (ii) the excess of 1.01% of the
Capital Contributions made by the Limited Partners over the aggregate
Capital Contributions made by the General Partners under Section 6(b)
hereof. Such capital contribution under (i) or (ii) is to be made .01% by
the Corporate General Partner and 99.99% by the Associate General Partner.
No Limited Partner shall have any right to demand or receive property other
than cash at any time, including upon dissolution and termination of the
Partnership.
(f) Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership
and the distribution of all Partnership funds, the Partnership will
terminate and the Corporate General Partner will have the authority to
execute and record a Certificate of Cancellation of the Partnership as well
as any and all other documents required to effectuate the dissolution and
termination of the Partnership.
14. ASSIGNMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERS' INTEREST IN THE PARTNERSHIP.
(a) No Limited Partner shall assign, transfer, encumber or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of his Interest otherwise than in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 14, and any such purported
assignment, transfer, encumbrance or other disposition which is not
authorized by this Section 14 shall not be effective for any purpose.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Sections 14(e) and 14(4)
hereof, any Limited Partner at any time and from time to time shall have
the right to assign, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of all or any
part of his Interest to, or in trust for the benefit of, any Person, but no
such assignee shall be or become a substituted Limited Partner except in
accordance with Sections 14(c) and 14(d) hereof. Any Limited Partner so
assigning all or part of his Interest is hereinafter called the "Assigning
Limited Partner".
15
(c) The Corporate General Partner may (but need not), in its
sole discretion, consent to the appointment of an assignee or transferee
(whether such assignee or transferee has acquired his interest in the
Partnership by virtue of a voluntary assignment pursuant to Section 14(b)
hereof, an involuntary transfer or a transfer by operation of law) of an
Interest (or a part thereof) of a Limited Partner as a substituted Limited
Partner in the Partnership entitled to all the rights and benefits of the
Assigning Limited Partner under this Agreement; but no such assignee or
transferee shall be or become a Limited Partner unless and until such
assignee or transferee satisfies all conditions of this Section 14 and
unless and until the Corporate General Partner in writing designates and
appoints such person as a substituted Limited Partner. Notwithstanding the
time at which such conditions shall have been satisfied, any assignee of an
Interest (or a pan thereof) shall be recognized as a holder of Interests as
of the first day of the fiscal quarter next succeeding the fiscal quarter
in which such assignment occurs. The Partners hereby consent and agree to
such designation and appointment of a substituted Limited Partner by the
Corporate General Partner, and agree that the Corporate General Partner
may, on behalf of each Partner and on behalf of the Partnership, cause the
Certificate of Limited Partnership of this Partnership to be appropriately
amended.
(d) Each substituted Limited Partner, as a condition to his
admission as a Limited Partner, shall execute and acknowledge (including
swearing to) such instruments (including, without limitation, the power of
attorney required by Section 16 hereof), in form and substance satisfactory
to the Corporate General Partner, as the Corporate General Partner shall
reasonably deem necessary or desirable to effectuate such admission and to
confirm the agreement of the substituted Limited Partner to be bound by all
the terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Interest (or
portion thereof) acquired. All reasonable expenses, including attorneys'
fees, incurred by the Partnership in connection with the transfer and
substitution shall be paid by such substituted Limited Partner.
(e) Anything in this Section 14 or elsewhere in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no assignment, transfer,
encumbrance or other disposition to a minor or incompetent of all or any
part of any Limited Partner's Interest in the Partnership shall be made or
shall be effective, and further, no assignment, transfer, encumbrance, or
other disposition of all or any part of any Limited Partner's Interest
shall be made or shall be effective if such assignment, transfer,
encumbrance or other disposition would (in the opinion of the Partnership's
legal counsel, which shall be conclusive for this purpose) result in the
termination of the Partnership for purposes of the then applicable
provisions of the United States Internal Revenue Code.
(f) Anything in this Section 14 or elsewhere in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no assignment, transfer,
encumbrance or other deposition of all or any part of any Limited Partner's
Interest in the Partnership shall be made or shall be effective unless (i)
prior to the consummation thereof, all assignees and transferees with
respect thereto shall have made to the Partnership in writing all of the
representations set out in Sections 12(a), 12(b) and 12(c) of this
Agreement, (ii) the General Partners' grant their consent (which may be
withheld in their sole discretion) to such assignment, transfer,
encumbrance or other disposition and (iii) if required in the discretion of
the General Partners, the Partnership is provided with an opinion of its
legal counsel, or other legal counsel satisfactory to the Partnership's
counsel, stating that such assignment, transfer, encumbrance or other
disposition is exempt from the Securities Act of 1933 and is permissible
under all other applicable Federal and state securities laws without
registration or qualification of any security or any Person.
(g) Each Assigning Limited Partner, substituted Limited
Partner and each assignee of any Interest (or portion thereof) shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, every General Partner, every
partner, officer, director, employee or Affiliate of a General Partner and
every other Limited Partner who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by
reason of or arising from any actual or alleged misrepresentation,
misstatement of facts or omission to state facts made (or omitted to be
made) by such Assigning Limited Partner, substituted Limited Partner or
assignee of an Interest (or portion thereof) in connection with any
assignment, transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of all or any part
of any Interest in the Partnership, against expenses for which the
Partnership or such other Person has not otherwise been reimbursed
(including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by it or him in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that the foregoing
indemnification shall not be valid as to any Partner who supplied the
information which gave rise to any actual material misrepresentation,
misstatement of facts or omission to state facts.
16
(h) In the event a vote of the Limited Partners shall be
taken pursuant to this Agreement for any reason, a Limited Partner shall,
solely for the purpose of determining the Interest held by him in weighing
his vote, be deemed the holder of any Interest assigned in part by him in
respect of which the assignee has not become a substituted Limited Partner.
If the assignor of such Limited Partnership Interest has transferred his
entire Interest, however, and the assignee of such Interest has not become
a substituted Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 14, then neither the
assignor of such Interest nor the assignee shall have any voting rights in
the Partnership until such time as the assignee becomes a substituted
Limited Partner.
(i) In determining the ownership of any Interest for purposes
of any distribution pursuant to Sections 11 or 13 hereof or allocation of
profits or losses pursuant to Section 9 hereof, any such distribution shall
be to the Person recognized as the holder of the Interest (or portion
thereof) pursuant to Section 14(c) hereof as of the last day of the fiscal
quarter with respect to which such distribution is made and any such
allocation of profits or losses shall be made to the Person recognized as
the holder of the Interest (or portion thereof) pursuant to Section 14(c)
hereof as of the last day of the quarterly period in which the Partnership
recognized such profits or losses for tax purposes.
15. INCAPACITY OF LIMITED PARTNER.
The death or legal incapacity of a Limited Partner shall not cause a
dissolution of the Partnership, but the rights of such Limited Partner to
share in the profits and losses of the Partnership, to receive
distributions of Partnership assets and to assign any Interest pursuant to
Section 14 hereof shall, on the happening of such an event, devolve on his
personal representative, or in the event of the death of one whose Interest
is held in joint tenancy, pass to the surviving joint tenants, subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Partnership shall
continue as a limited partnership. However, in no event shall such
personal representative become a substituted Limited Partner except
pursuant to Section 14 hereof. The estate of the Limited Partner shall be
liable for all the obligations of the deceased or incapacitated Limited
Partner.
16. POWER OF ATTORNEY.
The Limited Partners, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably
constitute and appoint the Corporate General Partner as their true and
lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, in their name,
place and ▇▇▇▇▇ to make, execute, sign, acknowledge (including swearing
to), record and file, on behalf of them and on behalf of the Partnership,
the following:
(a) A Certificate of Limited Partnership, a Certificate of
Doing Business Under an Assumed Name, and any other certificates or
instruments which may be required to be filed by the Partnership or any of
the Partners under the laws of the State of Illinois and any other
jurisdiction whose laws may be applicable;
(b) A certificate of cancellation of the Partnership and such
other instruments as may be deemed necessary or desirable by the Corporate
General Partner upon the termination of the Partnership;
(c) Any and all amendments of the instruments described in
Sections 16(a) and 16(b) hereof, provided such amendments are either
required by law to be filed, or are consistent with this Agreement
(including, without limitation, any amendments admitting or substituting
holders of Interests, or any portions thereof, as Limited Partners), or
have been authorized by the particular Limited Partner or Partners; and
(d) Any and all such other instruments as may be deemed
necessary or desirable by the Corporate General Partner to carry out fully
the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
The foregoing grant of authority:
(a) Shall survive the delivery of an assignment by a Limited
Partner of the whole or any portion of his Interest and any assignee of a
Limited Partner does hereby constitute and appoint the Corporate General
Partner his attorney in the same manner and force and for the same purposes
as does the assignor;
(b) Is a Special Power of Attorney coupled with an interest,
is irrevocable and shall survive the death or incapacity of the Limited
Partner granting the power; and
(c) May be exercised by the Corporate General Partner on
behalf of each Limited Partner by a facsimile signature or by listing all
of the Limited Partners executing any instrument with a single signature as
attorney-in-fact for all of them.
17
17. AMENDMENT AND OTHER RIGHTS OF LIMITED PARTNERS.
(a) Subject to Sections 17(b) and 17(c) hereof, the Limited
Partners holding a majority of the Limited Partnership Interests, without
the concurrence of the General Partners, may (i) amend this Agreement,
subject to the conditions that such amendment (x) may not in any manner
allow the Limited Partners to take part in the control of the Partnership's
business, and (y) may not, without the consent of the General or Limited
Partner affected, alter the rights, powers and duties of the General
Partners as set forth in Section 8 hereof, the interest of any General or
Limited Partner in allocations of profits or losses for tax purposes under
Section 9 hereof or in Distributable Cash or Sale Proceeds or Financing
Proceeds under Section 11 hereof or distributions under Section 13 hereof
or the valuation of the interests of the General Partners as provided in
Section 17(c) hereof; (ii) dissolve the Partnership; (iii) remove and
replace the General Partners; or (iv) elect a new General Partner or
General Partners (assuming that there is already at least one General
Partner at the time of such election); provided, however, that the right
under Section 17(a)(iii) shall not become effective prior to the receipt by
the Partnership of the Seventh Capital Contribution from the Limited
Partners unless, prior to the receipt of such Capital Contribution, the
General Partners acted fraudulently or in bad faith or in a manner
constituting negligence. Upon the written request of the Limited Partners
holding 20% or more of the Limited Partnership Interests, the Corporate
General Partner shall call a meeting and, subject to Section 17(b) hereof,
submit any matter contemplated by this Section 17(a) to the Limited
Partners.
(b) The rights of the Limited Partners under Section 17(a) hereof to
vote to amend this Agreement to dissolve the Partnership, to remove and
replace the General Partners, and to elect a new General Partner, shall not
come into existence or be effective in any manner unless and until, at the
expense of the Limited Partners requesting such action, (i) the Partnership
has received an opinion of counsel, which counsel is satisfactory to a
majority in interest of the Limited Partners, as to the legality of such
action, and (ii) either (x) the Partnership has received an opinion of
Illinois counsel, which counsel is satisfactory to a majority in interest
of the Limited Partners, that such action may be effected without adversely
affecting the status of Limited Partners as limited partners of the
Partnership, or (y) a state court having original Jurisdiction in the
premises has entered a judgment which has become final to the foregoing
effect as to the Act and an opinion of counsel to the effect provided in
Section 17(b)(ii)(x) has been obtained as to the laws of Such
Jurisdictions, other than the State of Illinois, in which the Partnership
is formed re-formed, reorganized, or otherwise qualified. For purposes of
this Section 17(b), counsel will be deemed satisfactory to the Limited
Partners if proposed by the Corporate General Partner and affirmatively
approved within 45 days by a majority in interest of the Limited Partners;
provided that if the holders of 10% or more of the outstanding Partnership
interests propose counsel for this purpose, such proposed counsel, and not
counsel proposed by the Corporate General Partner, shall be submitted for
such approval by the Limited Partners.
(c) The right of the Limited Partners under Section 17(a) hereof to
vote to remove and replace the General Partners may not be exercised unless
and until the following events have occurred:
(i) The Limited Partners holding a majority of the Limited
Partnership Interests must elect one or more nominees to replace the
General Partners (the "General Partner Nominees") as general partners of
the Partnership prior to removal of the General Partners. The General
Partner Nominees must satisfy the requirements of Section 8(m) hereof.
(ii) The General Partner Nominees must purchase the corresponding
General Partners' interest in the Partnership (including rights to or
interests in Distributable Cash, Sale Proceeds and Financing Proceeds and
distributions under Section 13 hereof and all losses for tax purposes as
General Partners) for a purchase price equal to the greater of (x) such
General Partners' Capital Contributions, less any distributions of Sale
Proceeds and Financing Proceeds to such General Partner, or (y) the fair
market value of such interests. Such value shall first be determined by
agreement between the General Partners and the corresponding General
Partner Nominees. If the General Partners and the General Partner Nominees
cannot agree upon the fair market value of such interests within 60 days
after the election of the General Partner Nominees, the fair market value
thereof shall be determined by appraisals by two independent appraisers,
one selected by the General Partners and one by the General Partner
Nominees. In the event that such two appraisers are unable to agree on the
value of the General Partners' interests, the General Partner Nominees and
the General Partners shall jointly appoint a third
18
independent appraiser whose determination shall be final and binding. The
General Partner Nominees shall pay the corresponding General Partners for
the value of their interests as so determined by delivery of their
promissory note or notes payable to the General Partners or to their order
in a face amount equal to the purchase price, containing acceleration and
other similar provisions as would be usual and customary in a commercial
promissory note, and bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to the
lesser of the prime commercial lending rate from time to time announced by
Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago plus two
percent (2%) per annum or the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged
under applicable law, with all principal and accrued interest subject to
mandatory payment from time to time from all Distributable Cash and Sale
Proceeds and Financing Proceeds and distributions under Section 13 hereof
distributable to the General Partner Nominees. Payments on the promissory
note shall be secured by assignment by the General Partner Nominees to the
corresponding General Partners of all their distributions of Distributable
Cash and Sale Proceeds and Financing Proceeds and distributions under
Section 13 hereof from the Partnership. The amounts received pursuant to
this Section 17(c), when received in full, shall constitute complete and
full discharge for all amounts owing to the General Partners on account of
their interests in the Partnership. For purposes of this Section 17(c), the
independent appraiser selected by the General Partner Nominees shall be
selected in the following manner: A list of three qualified MAI appraisers
shall be obtained from the Chicago Board of Real Estate Appraisers or
comparable organization in the State of New York and one of said three
appraisers shall be selected by lot.
Upon delivery of the promissory notes identified in this Section
17(c) and satisfaction of the conditions of Section 17(b) hereof, the
General Partner Nominees shall become, and the General Partners shall no
longer be, the general partners of the Partnership. The General Partner
Nominees, as general partners of the Partnership, shall be subject to and
bound by all the provisions of this Agreement as if originally a party
thereto. The removed General Partners shall have no further rights under
this Agreement; provided, however, the removal of the General Partners
shall in no way derogate from any rights of such General Partners
attributable to the period prior to the date upon which the conditions for
removal herein have been satisfied.
18. NOTICES.
All notices and demands required or permitted under this Agreement
shall be in writing and may (except in the event of a mail strike) be sent
by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Partners at their addresses as
set out in Schedule A to this Agreement. Any Partner may specify a
different address by notifying the Corporate General Partner of such
different address. If the address of the principal office of the
Partnership is changed, the Corporate General Partner shall notify each
Partner of such change in address. All notices and demands required by
this Agreement to be sent to Limited Partners shall be effective on the
fifth business day (which shall be a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or
national holiday) following dispatch, and all such notices and demands
required to be sent to General Partners shall be effective upon receipt.
19. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) The Partners hereby agree that neither the Partnership Property
nor the Joint Venture Property is or will be suitable for partition.
Accordingly, each of the Partners hereby irrevocably waives any and all
rights (if any) that he may have to maintain any action for partition of
any of the Partnership Property or the Joint Venture Property.
(b) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the
parties; it supersedes any prior agreement or understandings among them,
and it may not be modified or amended in any manner other than pursuant to
Sections 17 and 19(d) hereof.
(c) The Corporate General Partner may cause to be filed with any
governmental agency any document which it deems appropriate, including a
Report of Sale pursuant to the requirements of Section 4 of the Illinois
Securities Law of 1953, as amended, and Form D pursuant to the requirements
of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(d) In addition to any amendments otherwise authorized herein, this
Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Corporate General
Partner, without the consent of any of the Limited Partners, (i) to add to
the representations, duties or obligations of the General Partners or
surrender any right
19
or power granted to the General Partners herein; (ii) to cure any
ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be
inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this
Agreement which will not be inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement; and (iii) to delete or add any provision of this Agreement
required to be so deleted or added by a State "Blue Sky" commissioner or
similar official, which addition or deletion is deemed by such official to
be for the benefit or protection of the Limited Partners; provided,
however, that no amendment shall be adopted pursuant to this Section unless
the adoption thereof (1) is for the benefit of or not adverse to the
interests of the Limited Partners; (2) does not adversely alter the
interest of a Limited Partner in profits or losses or in distributions of
the Partnership without the consent of the Limited Partner adversely
affected; and (3) does not, in the opinion of counsel for the Partnership,
by its terms alter the limited liability of the Limited Partners or the
status of the Partnership as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes.
In addition to any amendments otherwise authorized herein, the Corporate
General Partner, without the consent of any of the Limited Partners, may
amend the provisions of Section 9 hereof relating to the allocations of
profits or losses among the Partners if the Partnership is advised at any
time by the Partnership's accountants or legal counsel that in their
opinion there is no reasonable basis on which such allocations would be
respected for Federal income tax purposes, due to promulgation of Treasury
Regulations or other developments in the law; provided, however, that the
Corporate General Partner is empowered to amend such provisions only to the
minimum extent necessary to conform such provisions to developments in the
law in accordance with the advice of such accountants and counsel, so that
any such amendment will have the least possible effect on the provisions
for allocations and distributions set forth in this Agreement. Any such
amendment to the allocations made by the Corporate General Partner in
reliance upon the advice of the accountants or counsel described above
shall be deemed to be made in compliance with the fiduciary obligation of
the Corporate General Partner to the Partnership and the Limited Partners,
and no such amendment to the allocations shall give rise to any claim or
cause of action by any Limited Partner.
(e) This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder
shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the
State of Illinois.
(f) Except as herein otherwise provided, this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their legal
representatives, heirs, administrators, executors, successors and assigns.
(g) Wherever from the context it appears appropriate, each term
stated in either the singular or the plural shall include the singular and
the plural, and pronouns stated in either the masculine or the neuter
gender shall include the masculine, the feminine and the neuter.
(h) If any provisions of this Agreement, or the application of
such provision to any person or circumstance, shall be held invalid, the
remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to
Persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid,
shall not be affected thereby and shall continue to be binding and in
force.
(i) Captions and headings contained in this Agreement are
inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit or
extend the scope of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
(j) This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute
one and the same instrument. In addition, this Agreement may contain more
than one counterpart of the signature page, and this Agreement may be
executed by the affixing of the signature of each of the Partners to one of
such counterpart signature pages; all of such counterpart signature pages
shall be read as though one, and they shall have the same force and effect
as though all of the signers had signed a single signature page.
