ARTICLE THREE

PARTNERS AND CAPITAL

Section 3.1 General Partner

The address, Capital Contribution, and Partnership Units of the General Partner is set forth on Exhibit A hereto. In the event that the number of Partnership Units held by the General Partner as General Partner at any time shall be less than one percent (1%) of the total number of outstanding Partnership Units and in the event that the General Partner also holds Partnership Units as a Limited Partner, there shall be automatically converted such number of the General Partner's Limited Partner Partnership Units into General Partner Partnership Units so that after such conversion the number of Partnership Units held by the General Partner as a General Partner shall not be less than one percent (1%) of the total number of Partnership Units then outstanding. If, and to the extent that after the foregoing conversion, the General Partner shall still not hold Partnership Units equal to at least one percent (1%) of the total Partnership Units outstanding, the General Partner shall contribute cash to the capital of the Partnership to bring the number of its General Partner Units up to one percent (1%) of the total Partnership Units outstanding (such additional Capital Contribution being made at the same price per Partnership Unit as the General Partner paid for its initial General Partner Partnership Units). Except as set forth in the previous sentence the General Partner, as such, shall not make any additional Capital Contribution to the Partnership.

Section 3.2 Current Limited Partners

The addresses, Capital Contributions, and initial Partnership Interests of the Current Limited Partners are set forth on Exhibit A hereto.

Section 3.3 Additional Limited Partners

A. The General Partner is authorized to admit Additional Limited Partners to the Partnership and issue Partnership Units thereto at such times and on such terms as the General Partner shall determine in its discretion. The General Partner is also hereby expressly authorized to cause the Partnership to issue to one or more subordinated lenders a Warrant as the General Partner in its discretion determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the acquisition of the Theatre Properties and in connection with any financing or refinancing of the Partnership by way of indebtedness. Upon exercise of the Warrant and payment to the Partnership of the exercise price set forth therein, the General Partner shall admit the holder(s) so exercising the Warrant to the Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner(s).

B. Notwithstanding paragraph A of this Section 3.3, no sale or issuance of additional Partnership Units to Additional Limited Partners shall be made by the Partnership (other than those pursuant to the exercise of the Warrant) unless the Partnership shall have first offered, by written notice to each Limited Partner and holder of any outstanding Warrant at the time of such offer, the right to purchase a portion of such additional Limited Partners' Partnership Units at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as are available to any third party pursuant to such proposed sale or issuance. Unless a Limited Partner or Warrantholder has exercised the rights hereunder to purchase additional Limited Partners' Partnership Units within 30 days of written notice being given to it by the Partnership pursuant to the preceding sentence, such rights shall be extinguished as to such sale or issuance. Each Limited Partner and each Warrantholder shall be entitled to purchase that proportion of the total Limited Partners' Partnership Units being offered by the Partnership as the number of its outstanding Partnership Units bears to the total number of outstanding Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners and Warrantholders who have elected to purchase under this paragraph B. For all purposes of the the foregoing sentence, all Partnership Units which may then be acquired by the Warrantholder pursuant to an exercise of the Warrant shall be deemed to be "outstanding Partnership Units". No Limited Partner or Warrantholder shall be entitled to purchase any additional Limited Partners'

Partnership Units except as provided in this paragraph B. The rights of Limited Partners and Warrantholders hereunder shall apply with respect to each proposed sale or issuance of Limited Partners' Partnership Units by the Partnership, from time to time.

C. The names, addresses, Capital Contributions and Partnership Units of the Additional Limited Partners shall be set forth in the books and records of the Partnership.

D. No Limited Partner shall be required to make any additional Capital Contribution to the Partnership.

Section 3.4 Partnership Capital

A. No Partner shall be paid interest on any Capital Contribution to the Partnership or on such Partner's Capital Account, notwithstanding any disproportion therein as between Partners.

B. The Partnership shall not redeem or repurchase any Partner's Partnership Units, and no Partner shall have the right to withdraw from the Partnership, except as provided in Section 6.1, or to receive any return of any Capital Contribution.

Section 3.5 Liability of Partners

A. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.5B, no Limited Partner shall have any personal liability whatever in his capacity as a Limited Partner, whether to the Partnership, to any of the Partners or to the creditors of the Partnership, for the debts, liabilities, contracts or any other obligations of the Partnership or for any losses of the Partnership. A Limited Partner shall be liable only to make his Capital Contribution and shall not be required to lend any funds to the Partnership or, after his Capital Contribution shall have been paid, subject to the provisions of Section 3.5B, to make any further capital contributions to the Partnership or to repay to the Partnership, any Partner, or any creditor of the Partnership all or any portion of any negative amount of such Limited Partner's Capital Account.

B. In accordance with state law, a limited partner of a partnership may, under certain circumstances, be required to return to the partnership, for the benefit of partnership creditors, amounts previously returned or distributed to such partner as a return of capital and distributions to such limited partner. It is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the provisions hereof shall be interpreted to the extent possible to limit the liability of the Limited Partners as set forth in Section 3.5A. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Limited Partner is obligated to return any amounts to the Partnership, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Limited Partner and not of the General Partner.

C. Neither the General Partner nor any of its Affiliates shall have any personal liability for the return or repayment of the Capital Contribution of any Limited Partner or to repay to the Partnership any portion or all of any negative amount of the General Partner's Capital Account, except as otherwise provided by law.

Section 3.6 General Partner as Limited Partner

The General Partner may also be a Limited Partner to the extent that it purchases or becomes a transferee of all or any part of the Partnership Units of a Limited Partner, and to such extent shall be treated in all respects as a Limited Partner.

ARTICLE FOUR

DISTRIBUTIONS OF CASH;
ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

Section 4.1 Distributions of Distributable Cash From Operations

A. The General Partner shall have the right to cause the Partnership to invest or reinvest Available Cash From Operations, in (i) temporary, liquid investments of the type described in Section 9.3, and (ii) Theatre Properties located within Bexar County or Xxxxxx County, Texas or any contiguous county. Theatre Properties acquired pursuant to this Section 4.1A, together with additional Theatre Properties acquired with Available Sale Proceeds or Available Refinancing Proceeds pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 4.2A, are referred to as "Additional Acquisitions."

B. All Distributable Cash From Operations shall be distributed to the Partners at such time or times as the General Partner shall determine in its discretion. To the extent not inconsistent with the Partnership's Senior Credit Facility, the General Partner shall make good faith efforts to make Tax Funding Distributions out of Distributable Cash From Operations; all Distributable Cash From Operations distributed by the General Partner, including Tax Funding Distributions, shall be made pro rata to each Partner in proportion to its respective share of the total outstanding Partnership Units; provided, however, that any distribution under this subsection B shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.5.

Section 4.2 Distributions of Proceeds Arising from a Refinancing or Sale

A. All cash receipts of the Partnership arising from a Refinancing or Sale shall, as soon as practicable after the occurrence of such Refinancing or Sale, be applied, in the priority set forth, as follows:

(1) first, in the priority provided by law or any applicable agreement or undertaking of the Partnership, to

(a) payment, to the extent applicable, of all amounts required to be disbursed in connection with such Refinancing or Sale;

(b) payment of all debts and obligations of the Partnership thereon due, related to the particular Refinancing or Sale (including, in the case of any Refinancing of existing Partnership borrowings, repayment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such existing borrowings);

(c) in the case of any Refinancing or Sale made, in whole or in part, in order to provide funds to improve, modify or repair any Theatre Property, to the payment of the costs or expenses of such improvement, modification or repair;

(d) creation of reasonable cash reserves considered necessary or appropriate in the discretion of the General Partner to provide for payment of and to pay any of the items described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the definition of "Available Cash From Operations"; and

(e) payment of all other debts and obligations of the Partnership then due, other than to any Partner; and

(2) second, to payment of all debts and obligations of the Partnership to any Partners, prorated if such remaining amounts are not sufficient to pay all such debts and obligations.

The amount of cash receipts remaining after the foregoing applications is, in this Agreement, called "Available Refinancing Proceeds" or "Available Sale Proceeds", as the case may be.

The General Partner shall have the right to cause the Partnership to invest or reinvest Available Sale Proceeds or Available Refinancing Proceeds in (i) temporary, liquid investments of the type described in Section 9.3 and (ii) "Additional Acquisitions" of Theatre Properties as defined in Section 4.1.A.

The amount of Available Refinancing Proceeds or Available Sale Proceeds remaining after any applications permitted by the foregoing subparagraphs is, in this Agreement, called "Distributable Refinancing Proceeds" or "Distributable Sale Proceeds", as the case may be.

B. Distributable Refinancing Proceeds from any Refinancing or Distributable Sale Proceeds from any Sale, as the case may be, shall be distributed to the Partners at such time or times as the General Partner shall determine in its discretion. To the extent not inconsistent with the Partnership's Senior Credit Facility, the General Partner shall make good faith efforts to make Tax Funding Distributions out of Distributable Refinancing Proceeds and Distributable Sale Proceeds; all Distributable Refinancing Proceeds and Distributable Sales Proceeds distributed by the General Partner, including Tax Funding Distributions, shall be made pro rata to each Partner in proportion to its respective share of the total outstanding Partnership Units; provided, however, that any distribution under this subsection B shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.5.

Section 4.3 Allocations of Profits and Losses

A. The Profits and Losses of the Partnership, whether from operations or Sale, shall be determined in accordance with the accrual method of accounting, and allocated with respect to each fiscal year of the Partnership as of the end of, and as soon as practicable after the end of, the year.

B. Subject to Section 4.3 C, all Profits and Losses for each taxable year of the Partnership shall be allocated to the Partners, pro rata in proportion to their respective Partnership Units.

C. If and to the extent an allocation of Losses to a Partner would create or increase a deficit in such Partner's Capital Account in excess of such Partner's proportionate share of the Partnership's Minimum Gain (as defined in Section 4.4A), such Losses shall instead be reallocated (i) first, to the other Partners with positive Capital Account balances (in proportion to such positive balances) until such balances are reduced to zero, and (ii) thereafter, 100% to the General Partner. If the General Partner is allocated any Losses under (ii) above, subsequent Profits of the Partnership shall first be allocated to the General Partner until such Losses have been offset.

D. Upon the admission of an Additional Limited Partner or upon the transfer or termination of all or part of a Partner's Partnership Units, allocation of Profits and Losses shall be made so as to take into account the varying interests of the Partners in the Partnership during the taxable year in accordance with whatever reasonable, consistently applied method the General Partner may choose to implement the provisions of Section 706 of the Code.

E. The allocation method set forth in this Section 4.3 and Section 4.4 are intended to allocate Profits and Losses to the Partners for federal income tax purposes in accordance with their economic interest in the Partnership while complying with the requirements of Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and any final Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Therefore, if the Partnership is advised by legal counsel or its accountants that the allocation provisions of this Agreement are unlikely to be respected for federal income tax purposes, the General Partner shall have the right to amend this Agreement without action by the Partners to the minimum extent necessary to correct such defect, provided that no Partner is materially and adversely affected thereby.

Section 4.4 Special Allocations: Items of Income or Gain

A. Notwithstanding anything else contained in Section 4.3 above:

(1) If there is a net decrease in the Minimum Gain of the Partnership during a taxable year, all Partners with deficit Capital Account balances at the end of such year (adjusted hypothetically as provided for in Sections 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv)(e) of the Treasury Regulations), shall be allocated, before any other allocation, items of income or gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in the amount and in the proportions needed to eliminate such deficits as quickly as possible. The Partners intend that the provisions set forth in this Section 4.4A will constitute a "minimum gain chargeback" as described in Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv)(e) of the Treasury Regulations. The regulations shall control in the event of a conflict between the regulations and this clause. The allocations required by this Section 4.4A shall be made before any other

allocations for the year and the particular item of income and gain to be allocated hereunder shall be in the order of priority set forth in Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv)(e) of the Treasury Regulations. If allocations to more than one Partner are to be made under this provision, the allocation shall be made in proportion to the ratio of the deficit balances in the Partners' Capital Accounts. As used herein, the term "Minimum Gain" means the minimum gain that would be recognized by the Partnership if the non-recourse debt of the Partnership were foreclosed upon and various assets securing such debt were transferred to the creditors in satisfaction thereof.

(2) If any Partner unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in subparagraphs (4), (5) or (6) of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations which creates or increases a deficit balance in that Partner's Capital Account (adjusted hypothetically as provided for in Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv)(e) of the Treasury Regulations), such Partner shall be allocated items of income and gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate or to reduce the deficit balance in that Partner's Capital Account so created or increased as quickly as possible. Allocations under this subparagraph (e)(ii) shall be comprised of a pro rata portion of each item of Partnership income (including gross income) and gain for the year; however, items of income and gain allocated under subparagraph (e)(i) above shall be excluded from the operation of this subparagraph (e)(ii). The Partners intend that the provisions set forth in this subparagraph (e)(ii) will constitute a "qualified income offset" as described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations. The regulation shall control in the case of any conflict between those regulations and this subparagraph (e) (ii).

B. To the extent the Partnership has an imputed interest deduction with respect to any loan from a Partner pursuant to Section 483, Section 7872, or Sections 1271 through 1288 of the Code, such imputed interest deduction shall be specially allocated to the Partner making the loan, and such Partner shall also be credited with a corresponding capital contribution for the amount of the imputed interest to which such deduction relates.

C. To the extent the Partnership has imputed interest income with respect to any loan to a Partner pursuant to Sections 483, 7872 or 1271 through 1288 of the Code, such imputed interest income shall be specially allocated to the Partner to whom such loan was made, and such Partner's Capital Account shall also be debited with a corresponding distribution for the amount of the imputed interest to which such income relates.

D. In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) of the Treasury Regulations, all income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property which is reflected on the books of the Partnership at a value that differs from its adjusted tax basis shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such property and its book value to the Partnership. Allocations under this Section 4.4D are solely for tax purposes. Accordingly, no adjustments to a Partner's Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses or distributions shall be made as a result of such allocations.

Section 4.5 Determination of Distributions and Allocations Among Partners

A. All Distributable Cash From Operations distributed to the Partners shall be distributed to the Persons who are Partners on the day such distribution is made.

B. All Distributable Refinancing Proceeds or Distributable Sale Proceeds arising from a Refinancing or Sale shall be distributed, and all Profits and Losses arising from a Sale shall be allocated, to the Persons who were Partners as of the date of such Refinancing or Sale.

C. The Partnership shall withhold from any distribution such amounts as are required by the laws of any taxing jurisdiction. Such withheld amounts shall be treated as amounts distributed to the respective Partners on whose account the withholding was imposed for all purposes of this Agreement.

Section 4.6 Notice of Distributions to Warrantholders

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, so long as any Warrant remains outstanding, the Partnership shall not establish any record date for distributions or make any distributions to its Partners of Distributable Cash From Operations, Distributable Refinancing Proceeds or Distributable Sale Proceeds or distributions in dissolution and liquidation unless it shall have first given each holder of record of any outstanding Warrant at least 60 days' written notice of its intention to do so in order to afford such Warrantholder the opportunity to exercise its Warrant within such 60 day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, nothing herein shall require the Partnership to give notice to any holder of an outstanding Warrant of its intention to make distributions of, or establish a record date for distributions of, Tax Funding Distributions.

The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to pay any taxes payable by the Partnership (it being understood that the expenses of preparation and filing of such tax returns, and the amounts of such taxes, are expenses of the Partnership and not of the General Partner); provided, however, that the General Partner shall not be required to cause the Partnership to pay any tax so long as the General Partner or the Partnership is in good faith and by appropriate legal proceedings contesting the validity, applicability or amount thereof and such contest does not materially endanger any right or interest of the Partnership.

E. The General Partner shall use its best efforts to cause the Partnership to be formed, reformed, qualified to do business, or registered under any applicable assumed or fictitious name statute or similar law in any state in which the Partnership then owns Theatre Property or transacts business, if such formation, reformation, qualification or registration is necessary in order to protect the limited liability of the Limited Partners or to permit the Partnership lawfully to own property or transact business.

The General Partner shall do all other acts and things (including making publication or periodic filings of the Certificate or this Agreement or other similar documents, or amendments thereto) that may now or hereafter be required, or deemed by the General Partner to be necessary, (1) for the perfection and continued maintenance of the Partnership as a limited partnership under the laws of the State and each other state in which the Partnership is then formed, (2) to protect the limited liability of the Limited Partners as limited partners under the laws of the State and each other state in which the Partnership is then formed or qualified and (3) to cause the books and records of the Partnership, and if required by law, to cause the Certificate and this Agreement to reflect accurately the agreement of the Partners, the identity of the Limited Partners and the General Partner and the amounts of their respective Capital Contributions.

which may own or hold any particular item of Theatre Property, shall, to the extent permitted by the partnership agreement relating to such partnership or joint venture, take corresponding or identical action or cause an Affiliate of the General Partner in its capacity as a partner of such partnership or joint venture to take such action, pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement relating to such partnership or joint venture and, in general, shall not act on behalf of the Partnership in such capacity in a manner inconsistent with any such vote, Consent or other action pursuant to this Agreement.

H. The General Partner shall use its best efforts to assure that the Partnership shall not be deemed an investment company as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

I. The General Partner shall use its best efforts to obtain provisions in any future Senior Credit Facility permitting Tax Funding Distributions on terms comparable or better to those contained in the Partnership's Senior Credit Facility as in effect as of the date hereof with Citicorp Industrial Credit, Inc.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner from dealing, or otherwise engaging in business, with persons transacting business with the Partnership or from providing services relating to the purchase, sale, financing, management or operation of theatre business or properties and receiving compensation therefor. Neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall have any rights or obligations by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership relationship created hereby in or to such independent ventures or the income or profits or losses derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such ventures, even if competitive with the business of the Partnership, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.

Section 5.7 Indemnification of the General Partner and Its Affiliates

To the fullest extent permitted by law (including as permitted by, but subject to the restrictions and procedures of, Article 11 of the Act), neither the General Partner nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Partnership or any Limited Partner for any loss or damage incurred by reason of any act or omission, including any negligent act or omission, performed or omitted by the General Partner or such Affiliate in good faith either on behalf of the Partnership or in furtherance of the interests of the Partnership and in a manner reasonably believed by it to be within the scope of the authority granted to it by this Agreement or by law or by the Consent of the Limited Partners in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, provided that the General Partner or such Affiliate was not guilty of gross negligence, willful and wanton misconduct or any other breach of fiduciary duty with respect to such act or omission. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless any Person 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), by reason of any act or omission or alleged act or omission arising out of such Person's activities as a General Partner or as an officer, director, shareholder or Affiliate of the General Partner if such activities were performed in good faith either on behalf of the Partnership or in furtherance of the interests of the Partnership, and in a manner reasonably believed by such Person to be within the

scope of the authority conferred by this Agreement or by law or by the Consent of the Limited Partners in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, against losses, damages, or expenses for which such Person has not otherwise been reimbursed (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, so long as such Person was not guilty of gross negligence, willful and wanton misconduct or any other breach of fiduciary duty with respect to such acts or omissions; provided that the satisfaction of any indemnification and any holding harmless shall be from and limited to Partnership assets and no Partner shall have any personal liability on account thereof.

A. With the Consent of a majority in interest of the Limited Partners, the General Partner may, in addition to substitutions permitted by Section 6.1B and subject to the provisions of Section 6.5, at any time, designate one or more Persons not then Affiliates of the General Partner to be successor or additional General Partners with such participation in the General Partner's Partnership Units as the General Partner and such successor or additional General Partners may agree upon. In addition, the General Partner may designate one or more of its Affiliates (including any limited partnership of which the General Partner or one of its Affiliates is a general partner) to be successor or additional General Partners with such participation in the General Partner's Partnership Units as the General Partner and such successor or additional General Partners may agree upon, and each Limited Partner hereby Consents to the admission of such Affiliates as additional or successor General Partners, and no further Consent or approval shall be required.

In the event that the General Partner grants a security interest in its Partnership Units to any Senior Lender, and in the event that such Senior Lender shall foreclose upon such Partnership Units, or sell such Partnership Units under power of sale (statutory or contractual) or in lieu of foreclosure (such security interest, foreclosure or sale, being a "transfer"), then no transfer of such Partnership Units to any successor shall require any Consent on the part of the Limited Partners and, further, such successor of the General Partner's Partnership Units may be designated as a successor General Partner and each Limited Partner hereby Consents to the admission of such successor as a successor General Partner, and no further Consent or approval shall be required. Each such designee so Consented to by the Limited Partners shall become a successor or additional General Partner upon complying with the provisions of Section 10.3.

B. Except as part of a transfer to a successor or additional General Partner pursuant to Section 6.1A, the General Partner shall not have the right to resign or to transfer or assign its Partnership Units, except that the General Partner may substitute in its stead as General Partner any entity which has, by merger, consolidation or otherwise, acquired substantially all of its assets or stock and continued its business or any entity formed to succeed to the rights of the General Partner at the time of its dissolution. The designation of such a successor General Partner shall occur, and for all purposes shall be deemed to have occurred, prior to such resignation or transfer. Each Limited Partner hereby Consents to the admission of any additional or successor General Partner pursuant to this Section 6.1B, and no further Consent or approval shall be required.

Section 6.2 Removal of the General Partner; Designation of a Successor General Partner

A. The General Partner may be removed for any reason with the Consent of a majority in interest of the Limited Partners. The removal of the General Partner shall in no way derogate from any rights or powers of such General Partner, or the exercise thereof, or the validity of any actions taken pursuant thereto, prior to the date of such removal.

B. In the event of the removal of the General Partner, the General Partner's General Partner Partnership Units shall be converted to Limited Partner Partnership Units with all rights to distributions of cash and allocations of Profit and Loss previously provided as a General Partner.

C. With the Consent of a majority in interest of the Limited Partners (but if the law of a jurisdiction, other than the State, in which the Partnership is then formed or qualified is applicable and does not permit such designation, then such larger number as is required under such law to consent to or ratify the admission of a general partner), the Limited Partners may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.5, at any time designate one or more Persons to be successors to a General Partner concurrently therewith being removed pursuant to Section 6.2A and may issue additional General Partner Partnership Units to such Persons; provided, however, that the following conditions are satisfied:

(1) the Consent of the Limited Partners given pursuant to this Section 6.2C shall be given not later than the Consent of Limited Partners to the removal of the General Partner pursuant to Section 6.2A;

(2) the designation of such Person as a successor General Partner shall occur, and for all purposes shall be deemed to have occurred, prior to the removal of the General Partner pursuant to Section 6.2A;

(3) any additional General Partner Partnership Units issued to such successor shall be at the fair market value of such Partnership Units, provided, however, that the determination of such fair market value shall be made by the vote of a majority in interest of the Limited Partners (or such greater proportion as is set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph C) and such determination shall be binding on all Partners;

(4) the Partnership Units of the Limited Partners (including the Partnership Units of General Partner to be removed, which will be converted to Limited Partner Partnership Units pursuant to Section 6.2B) shall not be affected by the admission of such successor General Partner except to the extent new Partnership Units are issued pursuant to subparagraph (3) of this paragraph C; and

(5) any Person designated as a successor General Partner pursuant to this Section 6.2C shall have complied with the provisions of Section 10.3.

Section 6.3 Incapacity, Removal or Resignation of a General Partner

A. In the event of the Incapacity of a General Partner or the removal of a General Partner pursuant to Section 6.2 or the resignation of a General Partner, the business of the Partnership shall be continued by the remaining General Partner or General Partners if the Incapacitated or removed or resigned General Partner is not then the sole general partner. In the event of the Incapacity or removal or resignation of a sole General Partner (unless a successor General Partner is approved pursuant to Section 6.1B or 6.2C), the Partnership shall be dissolved.

B. Upon the Incapacity, removal or resignation of a General Partner, such General Partner shall immediately cease to be a General Partner and the Partnership Units of any incapacitated, removed or resigned General Partner shall be converted to Limited Partner Partnership Units with all rights to distributions of cash and allocations of Profit and Loss previously provided as a General Partner.

C. If, at the time of the Incapacity, removal or resignation of a General Partner, the Incapacitated, removed or resigned General Partner was not the sole General Partner the remaining General Partner or Partners shall continue the business of the Partnership and shall immediately (1) give Notification to the Limited Partners of such event and (2) make such amendments to this Agreement and execute and file such amendments of the Certificate or other documents or instruments as are necessary to reflect the termination of the interest of the Incapacitated, removed or resigned

General Partner and such Incapacitated, removed or resigned General Partner having ceased to be a General Partner and the appointment of any successor General Partner.

Section 6.4 Liability of a Withdrawn General Partner

Any General Partner who shall voluntarily or involuntarily for any reason (including Incapacity) withdraw, resign or be removed from the Partnership or sell, transfer or assign its General Partner Partnership Units shall remain liable for obligations incurred by it as General Partner prior to the time such withdrawal, resignation, removal, sale, transfer or assignment shall have become effective, but it shall be free of any obligation or liability incurred on account of the activities of the Partnership from and after the time such withdrawal, resignation, removal, sale, transfer or assignment shall have become effective.

Section 6.5 Restrictions on Transfer of General Partner's Partnership Units

A. No Person shall be admitted as a successor or additional General Partner, and no transfer, sale or exchange of all or any part of the General Partner's Partnership Units shall be permitted, if counsel for the Partnership shall be of the opinion that such admission, transfer, sale or exchange, or any actions taken in connection therewith, would cause the Partnership to be classified other than as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes.

B. No assignee or transferee of all or any part of the General Partner's Partnership Units shall have any right to become a General Partner except as provided in this Article Six.

Section 6.6 Consent of Limited Partners to Admission of Successor or Additional General Partners

Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.5, each Limited Partner, by execution of this Agreement, hereby Consents to the admission of any Person as a successor or additional General Partner to which there has at the time been express Consent of such number of Limited Partners as are expressly provided for herein. Upon receipt pursuant thereto of the Consent of such number of Limited Partners to such admission, such admission shall, subject to the provisions of Section 6.5, without any further Consent or approval of the Limited Partners, be an act of all the Limited Partners.

ARTICLE SEVEN

TRANSFER OF LIMITED PARTNERS' PARTNERSHIP UNITS;

ADMISSION OF SUBSTITUTED LIMITED PARTNERS

Section 7.1 Transfer of Partnership Units

A. Subject to the provisions of this Article Seven, a Partnership Unit of a Limited Partner or any part thereof may be sold, assigned or transferred without the consent of the General Partner, except as provided in subsection B hereof.

B. The Partnership need not recognize for any purpose, any purported sale, assignment or transfer of all or any part of the Partnership Units of a Limited Partner:

(1) if such transfer, assignment or negotiation would cause the Partnership to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for Federal income tax purposes or, when added to the total of all other sales or exchanges of Partnership Units within the preceding 12 months, would result in the Partnership being considered to have terminated within the meaning of Section 708 of the Code; or

(2) if such transfer or assignment would violate any federal or state securities or "blue sky" laws applicable to the Partnership or to the Partnership Units to be transferred or assigned.

C. Any sale, assignment or transfer of a Limited Partner's Partnership Units not prohibited by subsection B hereof shall be recognized by the Partnership as of the last day of the calendar month during which the Partnership receives instruments of transfer and the payment of all transfer taxes.

D. Notwithstanding subsection B of this Section 7.1, any Limited Partner may assign or grant a security interest in its Partnership Units to any Senior Lender. In the event that any Limited Partner grants a security interest in its Partnership Units to any Senior Lender, and in the event such Senior Lender shall foreclose upon such Partnership Units or sell such Partnership Units under power of sale (statutory or contractual) or in lieu of foreclosure (such security interest, foreclosure or sale, being a "transfer"), then, no transfer of such Partnership Units to any successor shall require any consent on the part of the General Partner and, further, any successor(s) of such Limited Partner's Partnership Units shall, at its request, be admitted as a Limited Partner without any consent on the part of the General Partner.

E. Subject to subsection B of this Section 7.1, any Current Limited Partner may sell, assign or transfer any or all of its Partnership Units to an Affiliate thereof or to another person who is then a Limited Partner of the Partnership and such Affiliate or other Person shall have the right to and shall be admitted as a Limited Partner without the consent of the General Partner.

F. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if EMV intends to sell or assign any of its Partnership Units to any Person (other than a Senior Lender as provided in Paragraph D hereof) who is then a Partner of the Partnership, it shall first offer to each of the Persons then Partners of the Partnership and to the Warrantholders the right to purchase a pro rata portion of its Partnership Units to be sold or assigned. The provisions of Section 3.3 B hereof shall apply to such right of first refusal, mutatis mutandis and to the extent applicable.

Section 7.2 Substituted Limited Partners

A. Each transferee desiring to be a Substituted Limited Partner must execute and deliver to the Partnership a "Transfer Application" (1) requesting admission as a Substituted Limited Partner, (2) agreeing to comply with and be bound by, and thereby executing, this Agreement, and agreeing to execute any document that the General Partner may reasonably require in connection with the admission of such transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner, and (3) appointing the General Partner the attorney-in-fact for such transferee pursuant to Section 12.1. No such transferee shall have any right to become a Substituted Limited Partner. Transferees will be admitted to the Partnership as Substituted Limited Partners only with the consent of the General Partner, which Consent may be withheld in its absolute discretion.

B. As soon as practicable after the last business day of each calendar quarter the General Partner shall amend the books and records of the Partnership, in order to admit to the Partnership as Substituted Limited Partners all transferees who have received the General Partner's Consent to such admission, as provided in Section 7.2A, who had not theretofore been admitted to the Partnership and to reflect the withdrawal from the Partnership, and termination of the interest, of Limited Partners who have sold, assigned or transferred all their Partnership Units to a Person being admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner. The admission of any Limited Partner shall be effective upon the amendment of the books and records of the Partnership to show such admission.

C. Until a Person entitled to admission to the Partnership as a Substituted Limited Partnership pursuant to Section 7.2A shall have been admitted to the Partnership pursuant to Section 7.2B, such Person shall be entitled to all of the rights of an assignee of a limited partnership interest under the Act.

D. No Person shall be entitled to become a Limited Partner except pursuant to Sections 3.2, 3.3, 7.1D, 7.1E or this Article Seven.

B. the Incapacity, removal or resignation of a sole General Partner, unless a successor General Partner is designated pursuant to Sections 6.1 or 6.2, in which case the Partnership shall be reconstituted;

C. the sale or other disposition at one time of all or substantially all the assets of the Partnership;

D. the election by the General Partner or by a majority in interest of the Limited Partners to dissolve the Partnership; or

E. October 1, 1994 unless:

(ii) the provisions of either of the next two paragraphs shall apply.

(x) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no dissolution shall take place under Paragraph E if by no later than April 1, 1994 EMV agrees in writing to waive the provisions of Paragraph E for one year, in which case the dissolution date referred to in Paragraph E shall be October 1, 1995. EMV may waive the October 1, 1995 dissolution in the same manner and may postpone the dissolution date for successive one year periods provided that EMV gives a written waiver to the Partnership by no later than the April 1 preceding the then-pending October 1 dissolution date under Paragraph E; provided, that in no case may EMV postpone the dissolution date to a date beyond when the Partnership would otherwise dissolve under Section 8.1; and provided, further, that the provisions of Paragraph E shall be inapplicable if EMV is not a Limited Partner at the relevant October 1 dissolution date under Paragraph E.

(y) If any dissolution date provided in Paragraph E has not been waived by EMV in the manner provided in the foregoing paragraph, the Partners as of the April 1 preceding the then-pending October 1 dissolution date shall have the right to purchase all of the Partnership Units in the Partnership then held by EMV ("EMV Units"), which right may be exercised at any time in writing to EMV by no later than September 1 immediately preceding the then-pending October 1 dissolution date. Each Partner may offer to purchase so many of such EMV Units as it desires but if offers exceed the amount of EMV Units available as of the applicable September 1, each offering Partner shall be entitled to purchase only such number of Units that its total Partnership Units bears to the Partnership Units of all Partners offering to buy EMV Units. The purchase price for the EMV Units shall be their fair market value and the purchase price will be payable within twenty (20) days of the agreement or notification of fair market value. If the parties are unable to agree on fair market value, the matter shall be submitted for determination to an appraiser mutually acceptable to the parties. If they cannot agree on an appraiser, the offering Partners shall choose one appraiser, EMV shall choose one appraiser and the two appraisers will choose a third, and fair market value will be determined by the panel of appraisers. If either party fails to choose an appraiser

within twenty days of a written request to do so, the other party's chosen appraiser may make the determination of fair market value. Any such determination of fair market value shall be binding on all parties. If offers to purchase all of the EMV Units have been made by the applicable September l, the Partnership shall not dissolve pursuant to Paragraph E, provided, that the Partnership shall dissolve within twenty (20) days of agreement or notification to the parties of fair market value if all the EMV Units have not then been paid for.

F. October 1, 1994 unless:

(ii) the provisions of either of the next two paragraphs shall apply.

(x) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no dissolution shall take place under Paragraph F if by no later than April 1, 1994 Citicorp Industrial Credit, Inc. or any Affiliate thereof to whom its Partnership Units are transferred pursuant to Section 7.1E ("CIC") agrees in writing to waive the provisions of Paragraph F for one year, in which case the dissolution date referred to in Paragraph F shall be October 1, 1995. CIC may waive the October 1, 1995 dissolution in the same manner and may postpone the dissolution date for successive one year periods provided that CIC gives a written waiver to the Partnership by no later than the April 1 preceding the then-pending October 1 dissolution date under Paragraph F; provided, that in no case may CIC postpone the dissolution date to a date beyond when the Partnership would otherwise dissolve under Section 8.1; and provided, further, that the provisions of Paragraph F shall be inapplicable if CIC is not a Limited Partner at the relevant October 1 dissolution date under Paragraph F.

(y) If any dissolution date provided in Paragraph F has not been waived by CIC in the manner provided in the foregoing paragraph, the Partners as of the April 1 preceding the then-pending October 1 dissolution date shall have the right to purchase all of the Partnership Units in the Partnership then held by CIC ("CIC Units"), which right may be exercised at any time in writing to CIC by no later than September 1 immediately preceding the then-pending October 1 dissolution date. Each Partner may offer to purchase so many of such CIC Units as it desires but if offers exceed the amount of CIC Units available as of the applicable September 1, each offering Partner shall be entitled to purchase only such number of Units that its total Partnership Units bears to the Partnership Units of all Partners offering to buy CIC Units. The purchase price for the CIC Units shall be their fair market value and the purchase price will be payable within twenty (20) days of the agreement or notification of fair market value. If the parties are unable to agree on fair market value, the matter shall be submitted for determination to an appraiser mutually acceptable to the parties. If they cannot agree on an appraiser, the offering Partners shall choose one appraiser, CIC shall choose one appraiser and the two appraisers will choose a third, and fair market value will be determined by the panel of appraisers. If either party fails to choose an appraiser within twenty days of a written request to do so, the other party's chosen appraiser may make the determination of fair market value. Any such determination of fair market value shall be binding on all parties. If offers to purchase all of the CIC Units have been made by the applicable September 1, the Partnership shall not dissolve pursuant to Paragraph F, provided, that the Partnership shall dissolve within twenty (20) days of agreement or notification to the parties of fair market value if all the CIC Units have not then been paid for.

C. After dissolution and liquidation, the assets of the Partnership shall be applied in the following order:

(1) To payment of all debts and obligations of the Partnership to any person; and

(2) To the Partners, pro rata in proportion to their respective Partnership Units, but subject to the provisions of Section 4.5 hereof.
