succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent that it relates to the Partnership Interest or portion thereof so transferred.

In the event that the Gross Asset Values of Partnership assets are adjusted as described below in Section 4.6(b) hereof, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted to reflect the aggregate net adjustments as if the Partnership sold all of its property for their fair market values and recognized gain or loss for federal income tax purposes equal to the amount of such aggregate net adjustment.

Any adjusting to the Gross Asset Values of Partnership property shall require an adjustment to the Partners’ Capital Accounts as described in Section 4.6(a) above.

ARTICLE V.

ALLOCATIONS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND OTHER TAX AND ACCOUNTING MATTERS

5.1 Allocations.

(a) For the purpose of this Agreement, the terms “Profits” and “Losses” mean, respectively, for each Partnership Fiscal Year or other period, the Partnership’s taxable income or loss for such Partnership Fiscal Year or other period, determined in accordance with Section 703(a) of the Code (for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss, or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Section 703(a)(1) of the Code shall be included in taxable income or loss), adjusted as follows:

(1) any income of the Partnership that is exempt from federal income tax and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profits or Losses pursuant to this Section 5.1(a) shall be added to such taxable income or loss;

(2) in lieu of the depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions taken into account in computing such taxable income or loss, there shall be taken into account Depreciation for such Partnership Fiscal Year or other period;

(3) any items that are specially allocated pursuant to Section 5.1(d) hereof shall not be taken into account in computing Profits or Losses; and

(4) any expenditures of the Partnership described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code (or treated as such under Regulation Section 704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i)) and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profits or Losses pursuant to this Section 5.1(a) shall be deducted from such taxable income or loss.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1(d) hereof, the Profits and Losses of the Partnership (and each item thereof) for each Partnership Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(c) For the purpose of Section 5.1(b) hereof, gain or loss resulting from any disposition of Partnership property shall be computed by reference to the Gross Asset Value of the property disposed of, notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of such property for federal income tax purposes differs from its Gross Asset Value.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1, the following provisions shall apply:

(1) A Partner shall not receive an allocation of any Partnership deduction that would result in total loss allocations attributable to “Nonrecourse Liabilities” (as defined in Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(3)) in excess of such Partner’s share of Minimum Gain (as determined under Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)). The term “Minimum Gain” means an amount determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(d) by computing, with respect to each Nonrecourse Liability of the Partnership, the amount of gain, if any, that the Partnership would realize if it disposed of the property subject to such liability for no consideration other than full satisfaction thereof, and by then aggregating the amounts so computed. If the Partnership makes a distribution allocable to the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability, in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(h) the distribution will be treated as allocable to an increase in Partnership Minimum Gain to the extent the increase results from encumbering Partnership property with aggregate Nonrecourse Liabilities that exceeds the property’s adjusted tax basis. If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum

Gain for a Partnership Fiscal Year, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and the exceptions contained therein, the Partners shall be allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such Partnership Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Partnership Fiscal Years) equal to the Partners’ respective shares of the net decrease in Minimum Gain within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2) (the “Minimum Gain Chargeback”). The items to be allocated pursuant to this Section 5.1(d)(1) shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and (j).

(2) Any item of “Partner Nonrecourse Deduction” (as defined in Regulations Section 1.7042(i)) with respect to a “Partner Nonrecourse Debt” (as defined in Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated to the Partner or Partners who bear the economic risk of loss for such Partner Nonrecourse Debt in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1). If the Partnership makes a distribution allocable to the proceeds of a Partner Nonrecourse Debt, in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(6) the distribution will be treated as allocable to an increase in Partner Minimum Gain to the extent the increase results from encumbering Partnership property with aggregate Partner Nonrecourse Debt that exceeds the property’s adjusted tax basis. Subject to Section 5.1(d)(1) hereof, but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt (such Minimum Gain being hereinafter referred to as “Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain”) for a Partnership Fiscal Year, then after taking into account allocations pursuant to Section 5.1(d)(1) hereof, but before any other allocations are made for such taxable year, and subject to the exceptions set forth in Regulations Section 1.7042(i)(4), each Partner with a share of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain at the beginning of such Partnership Fiscal Year shall be allocated items of income and gain for such Partnership Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Partnership Fiscal Years) equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain as determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Regulations

Section 1.704-2(g)(2). The items to be allocated pursuant to this Section 5.1(d)(2) shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and (j).

(3) Pursuant to Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), for the purpose of determining each Partner’s share of excess nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership, and solely for such purpose, each Partner’s interest in Partnership profits is hereby specified to be such Partner’s Percentage Interest.

(4) No Limited Partner shall be allocated any item of deduction or loss of the Partnership if such allocation would cause such Limited Partner’s Capital Account to become negative by more than the sum of (i) any amount such Limited Partner is obligated to restore upon liquidation of the Partnership, plus (ii) such Limited Partner’s share of the Partnership’s Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. An item of deduction or loss that cannot be allocated to a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 5.1(d)(4) shall be allocated to the General Partner. For this purpose, in determining the Capital Account balance of such Limited Partner, the items described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), and (6) shall be taken into account. In the event that (A) any Limited Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation, or distribution described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), and (B) such adjustment, allocation, or distribution causes or increases a deficit balance (net of amounts which such Limited Partner is obligated to restore or deemed obligated to restore under Regulations Section 1.7042(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5) and determined after taking into account any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6) that, as of the end of the Partnership Fiscal Year, reasonably are expected to be made to such Limited Partner) in such Limited Partner’s Capital Account as of the end of the Partnership Fiscal Year to which such adjustment, allocation, or distribution relates, then items of Gross Income (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Gross Income) for such Partnership Fiscal Year and each subsequent Partnership Fiscal Year shall be allocated to such Limited Partner until such deficit balance or increase in such deficit balance, as the case may be, has been

eliminated. In the event that this Section 5.1(d)(4) and Section 5.1(d)(1) and/or (2) hereof apply, Section 5.1(d)(1) and/or (2) hereof shall be applied prior to this Section 5.1(d)(4).

(e) In accordance with Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for federal income tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and the initial Gross Asset Value of such property. If the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership property is adjusted as described in the definition of Gross Asset Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and the Gross Asset Value of such asset in the manner prescribed under Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Partnership shall employ the method prescribed in Regulation Section 1.704-3(b) (the “traditional method”) or the equivalent successor provisions) of proposed, temporary or final Regulations.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.1, the allocation of Profits and Losses for any Partnership Fiscal Year during which a Person acquires a Partnership Interest (other than upon formation of the Partnership) or during which there is a change in the Partners’ Percentage Interests shall take into account the Partners’ varying interests for such Partnership Fiscal Year pursuant to any method permissible under Section 706 of the Code that is selected by the General Partner (notwithstanding any agreement between the assignor and assignee of such Partnership Interest although the General Partner may recognize any such agreement), which method may take into account the date on which the Transfer or an agreement to Transfer becomes irrevocable pursuant to its terms, as determined by the General Partner.

(g) In the event of a sale or exchange of a Partner’s Partnership Interest or portion thereof or upon the death of a Partner, if the Partnership has not theretofore elected, pursuant to Section 754 of the Code, to adjust the basis of Partnership property,

the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to elect, if the Person acquiring such Partnership Interest or portion thereof so requests, pursuant to Section 754 of the Code, to adjust the basis of Partnership property. In addition, in the event of a distribution referred to in Section 734(b) of the Code, if the Partnership has not theretofore elected, the General Partner may, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, cause the Partnership to elect, pursuant to Section 754 of the Code, to adjust the basis of Partnership property. Except as provided in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), such adjustment shall not be reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts and shall be effective solely for federal and (if applicable) state and local income tax purposes. Each Partner hereby agrees to provide the Partnership with all information necessary to give effect to such election. With respect to such election:

(1) Any change in the amount of the depreciation deducted by the Partnership and any change in the gain or loss of the Partnership, for federal income tax purposes, resulting from an adjustment pursuant to Section 743(b) of the Code shall be allocated entirely to the transferee of the Partnership Interest or portion thereof so transferred. No capital contribution obligation shall be imposed on any Partner and neither the Partnership Interest of, nor the amount of any cash distributions to, any Partner shall be affected as a result of such election, and except as provided in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the making of such election shall have no effect except for federal and (if applicable) state and local income tax purposes.

(2) Solely for federal and (if applicable) state and local income tax purposes and not for the purpose of maintaining the Partners’ Capital Accounts (except as provided in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)), the Partnership shall keep a written record for those assets, the basis of which are adjusted as a result of such election, and the amount at which such assets are carried on such record shall be debited (in the case of an increase in basis) or credited (in the case of a decrease in basis) by the amount of such basis adjustment. Any change in the amount of the depreciation deducted by the Partnership and any change in the gain or loss of the Partnership, for federal and (if applicable) state and local

income tax purposes, attributable to the basis adjustment made as a result of such election shall be debited or credited, as the case may be, on such record.

(h) The Profits, Losses, gains, deductions, and credits of the Partnership (and all items thereof) for each Partnership Fiscal Year shall be determined in accordance with the accounting method followed by the Partnership for federal income tax purposes.

Except as provided in Sections 5.1(e) and 5.1(g) hereof, for federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss, or deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss, or deduction has been allocated pursuant to this Section 5.1.

(i) To the extent permitted by Regulations Sections 1.704-2(h)(3) and 1.704-2(i)(6), the General Partner shall endeavor to treat distributions as having been made from the proceeds of Nonrecourse Liabilities or Partner Nonrecourse Debt only to the extent that such distributions would cause or increase a deficit balance in any Partner’s Capital Account that exceeds the amount such Partner is otherwise obligated to restore (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c)) as of the end of the Partnership’s taxable year in which the distribution occurs.

(j) If any Partner sells or otherwise disposes of any property, directly or indirectly, to the Partnership, and as a result thereof, gain on a subsequent disposition of such property by the Partnership is reduced pursuant to Section 267(d) of the Code, then, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, gain for federal income tax purposes attributable to such subsequent disposition shall first be allocated among the Partners other than the selling Partner in an amount equal to such Partners’ allocations of “book” gain on the property pursuant to this Section 5.1, and any remaining gain for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated to the selling Partner.

5.2 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Partnership, and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, shall not make a distribution to any Partner on account of its interest in the Partnership if such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable law.

5.3 Partnership Distributions. The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute all or a portion of Net Operating Cash Flow to the Partners from time to time as determined by the General Partner, but in any event not less frequently than quarterly in such amounts as the General Partner shall determine; provided, however, that all such distributions shall be made pro rata in accordance with the Partners’ then Percentage Interests; and provided further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall use its best efforts (not requiring any material expenditure of funds or the incurrence of any material liability on the part of the General Partner) to cause the Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to enable the Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to the Partners so that they can distribute to any of their members or partners or partners of members to pay shareholder dividends that will (a) satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code and Regulations (the “REIT Requirements”), and (b) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability of the general partner. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or a provision of any state or local tax law with respect to any allocation, payment or distribution to any Partner shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Partner.

5.4 Books of Account. At all times during the continuance of the Partnership, the General Partner shall maintain or cause to be maintained full, true, complete and correct books of account in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles wherein shall be entered particulars of all monies, goods or effects belonging to or owing to or by the Partnership, or paid, received, sold or purchased in the course of the Partnership’s business, and all of such other transactions, matters and things relating to the business of the Partnership as are usually entered in books of account kept by persons engaged in a business of a like kind and character. In addition, the Partnership shall keep all records required to be kept pursuant to the Act. The books and records of account shall be kept separately from the books and records of account of any other Person, at the principal office of the Partnership, and each Partner and its

representatives shall at all reasonable times have access to such books and records and the right to inspect and copy the same.

5.5 Tax Returns.

(a) Consistent with all other provisions of this Agreement, the General Partner shall determine the methods to be used in the preparation of federal, state, and local income and other tax returns for the Partnership in connection with all items of income and expense, including, but not limited to, valuation of assets, the methods of depreciation and cost recovery, elections, credits, and tax accounting methods and procedures.

(b) The Partnership shall timely cause to be prepared and transmitted to the Partners federal and appropriate state and local Partnership Income Tax Schedules “K-1, or any substitute therefor, with respect to such Partnership Fiscal Year on appropriate forms.

5.6 Tax Matters Partner. The General Partner is hereby designated as the Tax Matters Partner within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code for the Partnership.

ARTICLE VII.

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND WINDING UP

7.1 Accounting. In the event of the dissolution, liquidation and winding-up of the Partnership, a proper accounting (which shall be certified) shall be made of the Capital Account of each Partner and of the Profits or Losses of the Partnership from the date of the last previous accounting to the date of dissolution.

7.2 Distribution on Dissolution. In the event of the dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership for any reason, the assets of the Partnership shall be liquidated for distribution in the following rank and order:

(a) Payment of creditors of the Partnership (other than Partners) in the order of priority as provided by law;

(b) Establishment of reserves as determined by the General Partner to provide for contingent liabilities, if any;

(d) To the Partners in accordance with the positive balances in their Capital Accounts after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all periods, including the period in which such distribution occurs (other than those distributions made pursuant to this Section 7.2(d) and Section 7.4 hereof).

If upon dissolution and termination of the Partnership the Capital Account of the Limited Partner is less than zero, then the Limited Partner shall have no obligation to restore the negative balance in its Capital Account. Whenever the Liquidating Agent reasonably determines that any

reserves established pursuant to paragraph (b) above are in excess of the reasonable requirements of the Partnership, the amount determined to be excess shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with the above provisions.

7.3 Sale of Partnership Assets. In the event of the liquidation of the Partnership in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Liquidating Agent may sell Partnership property; provided, however, that all sales, leases, encumbrances or transfers of Partnership assets shall be made by the Liquidating Agent solely on an “arm’s length” basis, at the best price and on the best terms and conditions as the Liquidating Agent in good faith believes are reasonably available at the time and under the circumstances and on a non-recourse basis to the Limited Partner. The liquidation of the Partnership shall not be deemed finally terminated until the Partnership shall have received cash payments in full with respect to obligations such as notes, purchase money mortgages installment sale contracts or other similar receivables received by the Partnership in connection with the sale of Partnership assets-and all obligations of the Partnership have been satisfied or assumed by the General Partner. The Liquidating Agent shall continue to act to enforce all of the rights of the Partnership pursuant to any such obligations until paid in full.

7.4 Distributions in Kind. In the event that it becomes necessary to make a distribution of Partnership property in kind, the General Partner may, with the consent of the Limited Partner, transfer and convey such property to the distributees as tenants in common, subject to any liabilities attached thereto, so as to vest in them undivided interests in the whole of such property in proportion to their respective rights to share in the proceeds of the sale of such property (other than as a creditor) in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2 hereof. Immediately prior to the distribution of Partnership property in kind to a Partner, the Capital Account of each Partner shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss and deduction inherent in such property (to the extent not previously reflected in the Capital Accounts) would be allocated among the Partners if there were a taxable disposition of such property for its fair market value as of the date of the distribution.

7.5 Documentation of Liquidation. Upon the completion of the dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership, the Partnership shall terminate and the Liquidating Agent shall

have the authority to execute and record any and all documents or instruments required to effect the dissolution, liquidation and termination of the Partnership.

7.6 Liability of the Liquidating Agent. The Liquidating Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, costs, damages and causes of action of any nature whatsoever arising out of or incidental to the Liquidating Agent’s taking of any action authorized under or within the scope of this Agreement; provided, however, that no Partner shall have any personal liability with respect to the foregoing indemnification, any such indemnification to be satisfied solely out of the assets of the Partnership; and provided, further, that the Liquidating Agent shall not be entitled to indemnification, and shall not be held harmless, where the claim, demand, liability, cost, damage or cause of action at issue arose out of:

(a) a matter entirely unrelated to the Liquidating Agent’s action or conduct pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; or

(b) the proven misconduct or negligence of the Liquidating Agent.

9.2 Bankruptcy of the Limited Partner. The Bankruptcy of the Limited Partner shall not cause a dissolution of the Partnership, but the rights of the Limited Partner to share in the

Profits or Losses of the Partnership and to receive distributions of Partnership funds shall, on the happening of such event, devolve on its personal representative (as defined in the Act), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Partnership shall continue as a limited partnership.

9.3 No Withdrawal. The Limited Partner may not withdraw from the Partnership without the prior written consent of the General Partner, other than as expressly provided in this Agreement.

9.4 Duties and Conflicts. The General Partner recognizes that the Limited Partner and its Affiliates has or may have other business interests, activities and investments, some of which may be in conflict or competition with the business of the Partnership, and that such persons are entitled to carry on such other business interests, activities and investments. The Limited Partner and its Affiliates may engage in or possess an interest in any other business or venture of any kind, independently or with others, on their own behalf or on behalf of other entities with which they are affiliated or associated, and such persons may engage in any activities, whether or not competitive with the Partnership, without any obligation to offer any interest in such activities to the Partnership or to any Partner. Neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall have any right, by virtue of this Agreement, in or to such activities, or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such activities, even if competitive with the business of the Partnership, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.

9.5 Continuation of Partnership Notwithstanding Loss of Limited Partners. Upon the occurrence of any event that would result in there being no limited partner in the Partnership, the Partnership shall not dissolve and the general partners or the personal representative of the last remaining limited partner shall agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the admission of the personal representative of such limited partner or its nominee or designee to the limited partnership as a limited partner, effective as of the occurrence of the event that caused the last limited partner to cease to be a limited partner.
