deduction and non-deductible expenditures (or any item thereof) shall be made
with reference to the federal tax treatment of such items (and, in the case of

items) at the Partnership level, without regard to any requisite or elective tax
treatment of such items at the Partner level.

modification, provided that it is not likely to have a material effect on the
amounts distributable to any Partner pursuant to Article 7 hereof upon the
dissolution of the Partnership. The General Partner shall also make (a) any
adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the

allowable with respect to an asset for such year or other period, except that if
the Gross Asset Value of an asset differs from its adjusted basis for federal
income tax purposes at the beginning of such year, Depreciation shall be an
amount that bears the same ratio to such beginning Gross Asset Value as the
federal income tax depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction
for such year or other period bears to such beginning adjusted tax basis;

other cost recovery deduction for such year is zero, Depreciation shall be
determined with reference to such beginning Gross Asset Value using any
reasonable method selected by the General Partner.

such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt, as of the following times:
(a) the acquisition of an additional interest in the Partnership
by a new or existing Partner in exchange for more than a de
minimis Capital Contribution, if the General Partner
reasonably determines that such adjustment is necessary or
appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of
the Partners in the Partnership;
(b) the distribution by the Partnership to a Partner of more
than a de minimis amount of Partnership property as
consideration for an interest in the Partnership, if the
General Partner reasonably determines that such adjustment
is necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic
interests of the Partners in the Partnership;
(c) the liquidation of the Partnership within the meaning of
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g); and

2.10.5 If the Gross Asset Value of a Partnership asset has been
determined or adjusted pursuant to Section 2.10.1, Section 2.10.2 or Section

CAPITAL; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS AND PARTNERS
3.1 INITIAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE PARTNERS. The Partners have made
or been credited with the Capital Contributions to the Partnership reflected in
the Capital Account established for each Partner.
3.2 ADDITIONAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS BY THE PARTNERS. Neither of the
Partners shall be required to and no Partner has the right to make any
additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership, except that the Partners
shall make such additional Capital Contributions as provided below in this
Section 3.2.
3.2.1 If the General Partner determines, at any time and from time to
time, that the Partnership requires additional capital for its business and
operations, the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, may
deliver notice (an "Additional Capital Requirement Notice") to the Limited
Partner specifying the additional amount of capital so determined to be
required; provided, however, the General Partner shall have no obligation to any
creditor of the Partnership to deliver an Additional Capital Requirement Notice.
At any time after the delivery to the Limited Partner of such an Additional
Capital Requirement Notice, the Partners, in proportion to their Percentage
Interests, shall make an additional Capital Contribution to the Partnership up
to the amount stated in such notice.
3.2.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with
respect to any future Capital Contributions, the actual making of such Capital
Contributions by the Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests shall
be deemed to have been made pursuant to an Additional Capital Requirement
Notice, whether written or oral.
3.3 CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. A Capital Account shall be established and maintained
for each Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
3.4 OTHER MATTERS.
3.4.1 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Partner shall
not demand or be entitled to receive a return of or interest on its Capital
Contributions or Capital Account, withdraw any portion of its Capital
Contributions or receive any distributions from the
10
Partnership as a return of capital on account of such Capital Contributions
without, in each instance, the approval of both Partners. Under circumstances
requiring or permitting a return of its Capital Contributions, the Partners
shall have the right to receive property other than cash as reasonably
determined by the General Partner, except as may be specifically prohibited
herein.
3.4.2 Except as otherwise provided by the Act, neither the General
Partner nor the Limited Partner shall be liable for the debts, liabilities,
contracts or any other obligations of the Partnership, nor shall the General
Partner or the Limited Partner be required to lend any funds to the Partnership.
ARTICLE 4.
ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
4.1 DISTRIBUTIONS IN GENERAL. Except as otherwise provided in Article 7
hereof and subject to Sections 17-607 and 17-804 of the Act, for any fiscal year
all Cash Available for Distribution, net proceeds from any Terminating Capital
Transaction and Financing Proceeds shall be distributed to the Partners at least
quarterly.
4.2 DISTRIBUTIONS OF CASH AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION AND NET PROCEEDS FROM
TERMINATING CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS.
4.2.1 Subject to Article 7 hereof, any Cash Available for Distribution
shall be distributed to the Partners in proportion to their Percentage
Interests.
4.2.2 Any net proceeds of a Terminating Capital Transaction shall be
applied or distributed as provided in Section 7.3(c) hereof.
4.2.3 All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of
any state or local tax law with respect to any payment or distribution to the
Partnership or the Partners shall be treated as amounts distributed to the
Partners pursuant to this Article 4 and Article 7 hereof for all purposes under
this Agreement.
4.3 ALLOCATION OF NET PROFITS AND LOSSES. Subject to Section 4.4, Net
Profits, Net Losses and any other items of income, gain, loss and deduction for
any fiscal year shall be allocated, for purposes of adjusting the Capital
Accounts of the Partners, in proportion to the Partners' Percentage Interests.
4.4 ADDITIONAL SPECIAL ALLOCATIONS. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Article 4:
4.4.1 Tax items with respect to Partnership Property that is
contributed to the Partnership with a Gross Asset Value that varies from its
basis in the hands of the contributing Partner immediately preceding the date of
contribution shall be allocated between the Partners for income tax purposes
pursuant to Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(c) so as to take into
account such variation. The Partnership shall account for such variation under
any method approved under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations as
chosen by the General Partner, including, without limitation, the "traditional
method" as described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b). If the Gross Asset Value
of any Partnership asset is adjusted
11
pursuant to Section 2.10.2, 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 its Gross
Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations
promulgated thereunder. Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.4.1 are solely
for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any
way be taken into account in computing, any Partner's Capital Account or share
of Net Profits, Net Losses and any other items or distributions pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement.
4.4.2 The Nonrecourse Deductions for each taxable year of the
Partnership shall be allocated to the Partners in proportion to their Percentage
Interests.
4.4.3 If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during a
Partnership taxable year, then each Partner shall be allocated items of
Partnership income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, for
subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner's share of the net decrease
in Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section
1.704-2(g)(2). This Section 4.4.3 is intended to comply with the minimum gain
chargeback requirement of Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith. The allocation otherwise required pursuant
to this Section 4.4.3 shall, however, not apply to a Partner to the extent that
the minimum gain chargeback rules are inapplicable in a particular circumstance.
4.4.4 The Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated each year
to the Partner that bears the economic risk of loss (within the meaning of
Regulations Section 1.752-2) for the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such
Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable.
4.4.5 If there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable
to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership taxable year, each Partner
who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner
Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section
1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain
for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal
to such Partner's share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable
to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in a manner consistent with the
provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). This Section 4.4.5 is intended
to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement
of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently
therewith.
4.4.6 If any Partner unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation
or distribution of the type contemplated by Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) that causes an Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit in such Partner's capital account, items of income and gain shall be
allocated to all such Partners (in proportion to the amounts of their respective
Adjusted Capital Account Deficits) in an amount and manner sufficient to
eliminate the deficit balances in such Partners' Capital Accounts, that are in
excess of such Partners' respective Adjusted Capital Account Deficits, as
quickly as possible as of the end of the Partnership's taxable year to which
adjustment, allocation or distribution relates. It is intended that this Section
4.4.6 qualify and be construed as a "qualified income offset" within the meaning
of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).
12
4.4.7 In the event that any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at
the end of any fiscal year that is in excess of the sum of (1) the amount (if
any) that such Partner is obligated to restore to the Partnership upon
liquidation of such Partner's Partnership Interest and (2) the amount such
Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate
sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such
Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the
amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation
pursuant to this Section 4.4.7 shall be made if and only to the extent that such
Partner would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all
other allocations provided in this Article 4 have been tentatively made as if
this Section 4.4.7 and Section 4.4.6 hereof were not in the Agreement.
4.4.8 If the allocation of Net Loss to a Partner as provided in
Section 4.3 hereof would create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit,
there shall be allocated to such Partner only that amount of Net Loss as will
not create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. The Net Loss that
would, absent the application of the preceding sentence, otherwise be allocated
to such Partner shall be allocated to the other Partners pro rata to the
allocation of other Losses to such Partner, subject to the limitations set forth
in this Section 4.4.8.
4.4.9 To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of
any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is
required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital
Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Partner in complete liquidation of
his Interest in the Partnership, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital
Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the
basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such
gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in accordance with
their interests in the Partnership in the event that Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Partners to whom such distribution
was made in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.
4.4.10 The allocations set forth in Sections 4.4.2, 4.4.3, 4.4.4,
4.4.5, 4.4.6, 4.4.7, 4.4.8 and 4.4.9 hereof (the "Regulatory Allocations") are
intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)
and 1.704-2(i). The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner
in which the Partners intend to distribute the cash of the Partnership or
allocate Partnership income or loss. Accordingly, the General Partner is hereby
authorized to allocate Net Profits, Net Losses, and other items of income,
gains, loss and deductions to the Partners so as to prevent the Regulatory
Allocations from distorting the manner in which Partnership distributions will
be divided between the Partners. In general, the Partners anticipate that this
will be accomplished by specially allocating other Net Profits, Net Losses and
other items of income, gain, loss and deduction to the Partners so that, to the
extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other Net Profits, Net
Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to the Partners shall be
equal to the net amount that would have been allocated among the Partners if the
Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. However, the General Partner shall have
discretion to accomplish this result in any reasonable manner.
4.4.11 Except as otherwise required by Sections 4.4.1 through 4.4.9
hereof, but notwithstanding the other foregoing provisions of this Article 4, at
all times during the existence
13
of the Partnership the General Partner's interest in each item of Partnership
income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall equal at least one percent (1%) of
each of those items.
4.4.12 For purposes of determining the Net Profits, Net Losses and any
other items of income, gain, loss and deduction allocable to any period, Net
Profits, Net Losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily,
monthly, or other basis, as determined by the General Partner using any
permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.
ARTICLE 5.

(g) engage in any kind of activity and perform and carry out

5.4 INDEMNIFICATION OF GENERAL PARTNER; LIABILITY OF GENERAL PARTNER.
5.4.1 Other than with respect to an action by, on behalf of, or in the
right of the Partnership, the Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the
General Partner, its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries, and all officers,
directors, employees and agents of any of the foregoing (individually, an
"Indemnitee") to the full extent permitted by law from and against any and all
losses, claims, demands, costs, damages, liabilities, joint and several,
expenses of any nature (including attorneys' fees and disbursements), judgments,
fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands,
actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
in which the Indemnitee may be involved, or threatened to be involved as a party
or otherwise, arising out of or incident to the business of the Partnership, if
(i) the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner it believed to be in, or
not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership and, with respect to any
criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe its conduct was
unlawful, and (ii) the Indemnitee's conduct did not constitute gross negligence
or willful misconduct. The termination of an action, suit or proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendre or its
equivalent, shall not, in and of itself, create a presumption or otherwise
constitute evidence that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that
specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above.
5.4.2 Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim,
demand, action, suit or proceeding subject to this Section 5.4 shall be advanced
by the Partnership prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action,
suit or proceeding upon receipt by the
15
Partnership of a written commitment by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay
such amount if it shall be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be
indemnified as authorized in this Section 5.4.
5.4.3 The indemnification provided by this Section 5.4 shall be in
addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any
agreement, pursuant to a vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or equity or
otherwise, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and
administrators of the Indemnitee.
5.4.4 Any indemnification provided hereunder shall be satisfied solely
out of the assets of the Partnership. Neither the General Partner nor the
Limited Partner shall be subject to personal liability by reason of these
indemnification provisions.
5.4.5 No Indemnitee shall be denied indemnification in whole or in
part under this Section 5.4 by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee had an
interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if
the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
5.4.6 The provisions of this Section 5.4 are for the benefit of the
Indemnitees and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any
other Person.
5.4.7 Neither the General Partner nor its parents, subsidiaries or
affiliates nor the officers, directors, employees of any of the foregoing shall
be liable to the Partnership or to the Limited Partner for any losses sustained
or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of the General
Partner or any such other Person if (i) the General Partner or such other Person
acted (or failed to act) in good faith and in a manner it believed to be in, or
not opposed to, the interests of the Partnership, and (ii) the conduct of the
General Partner or such other Person did not constitute gross negligence or
willful misconduct.

transferee shall be admitted as a Partner of the Partnership upon its execution
of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, which instrument may be a counterpart signature

prior to the transfer and, immediately following such admission, the transferor
