(a) To each Partner's Capital Account there shall be credited
the amount of cash contributed to the Partnership by such Partner,
such Partner's distributive share of Profits, and any items in the

of any Partnership liabilities that are assumed by such Partner or
that are secured by any Partnership property distributed to such

(b) To each Partner's Capital Account there shall be debited
the amount of cash distributed to such Partner pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, such Partner's distributive share of

relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with

interest in the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the
proportionate amount of his respective capital account balance, determined in

ARTICLE III
ALLOCATION OF INCOME AND LOSS; CASH DISTRIBUTIONS; CERTIFICATES
3.1 Distribution of Cash Available for Distribution.
Cash Available for Distribution, whether arising from operations in the
normal course of the Partnership's business or from sale or refinancing of

Profits and Losses of the Partnership for any Fiscal Year shall be apportioned
among and allocated to the Partners in accordance with the percentage interest
of each Partner set forth on Schedule A to this Agreement as of the first day of
the Fiscal Year; provided that, if the percentage interest of any Partner
changes during any Fiscal Year, Profits and losses for each month shall be
allocated among the Partners in proportion to the percentage interest of each
Partner as of the first day of such month, and each Partner's share of Profits
and Losses for such Fiscal Year shall be equal to the sum of his share of

adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation sections
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), shall be allocated items of income or gain

Regulation Section 1.704-1(b), including any amendments or successive
regulations thereto and shall be so interpreted.

allocable to any period, Profits, Losses, and any such other items shall be

Partner using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder.
3.5 Modification. The General Partner may modify the provisions of this Article
III or any other provisions of this Agreement without the consent of the Limited
Partners if, after consultation with counsel to the Partnership, the General
Partner determines that such modification is necessary to (a) cause the
allocations contained in this Article III to have substantial economic effect or
otherwise be respected for Federal Income Tax purposes under Section 704 of the
Code; (b) cause the allocation of Profits and Losses under Section 3.2 to
conform, in accordance with the requirements of Section 704 of the Code, to the
distributions provided in Section 3.1; or (c) cause the provisions of the
Agreement to comply with any applicable legislation, regulation or rule enacted
or promulgated after the date of this Agreement, which change is necessary to
enable the Partnership to carry out its purposes in the manner contemplated by
this Agreement. Any such amendment shall be so as to cause the least significant
deviation from the provisions of this Agreement as originally set forth.

of a Limited Partner's interest, and such consent may be withheld by the General
Partner in its sole discretion. The General Partner will not consent to any
sale, assignment, or transfer of any interest or to the admission of any person
as a substituted Limited Partner if, in its opinion, such consent and/or
substitution would result in the Partnership being treated for federal income
tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation, would result in a
termination of the Partnership within the
8
meaning of the Code, or would constitute a violation of any applicable federal
or state law pertaining to securities regulation.
4.1.2 The transferring Limited Partner and his purchaser, assignee or
transferee must execute and deliver to the Partnership such instruments of
transfer and assignment with respect to such transaction as are in form and
substance satisfactory to the General Partner.

any transfer of any Limited Partner's interest pursuant to this Agreement and/or

and be the responsibility of, the Limited Partner transferring such interest.
4.2 Bankruptcy, Resignation, Dissolution, or Liquidation of the General Partner.
If at any time, due to the Bankruptcy, resignation, dissolution or
liquidation of a General Partner, no General Partner remains, the Partnership

General Partner is elected by a vote of Limited Partner representing more than
50% of all Limited Partners within 60 days and such Limited Partners vote to
continue the business of the Partnership.
4.3 Occurrences Which Are Not Events of Withdrawal by a General Partner.
In order to prevent an inadvertent dissolution of the Partnership at a

4.3.2 Filing a voluntary petition for relief under Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx

substantial part of its properties; or

9
such General Partner or all or any substantial part of its properties without
its agreement or acquiescence.
4.4 Transferees as Substitute Partners.
A party who acquires an interest in the Partnership and who becomes a
Substitute Partner as herein provided shall succeed to all of the rights and
powers of a Partner with respect to the interest in the Partnership which is
acquired. A party who does not become a Substitute Partner shall be entitled
only to receive the share of Profits and Losses and the share of distributions
of cash and the return of capital contributions to which the Partner from whom
he acquired his interest in the Partnership would have been entitled with
respect to the interest in the Partnership which is acquired but,
notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, shall
have no right to require any information or account of Partnership transactions,
no right to inspect the Partnership books and no other rights and powers of a
Partner. A party who does not become a Substitute Partner shall nevertheless be
subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement and to all of the
restrictions and liabilities under this Agreement with respect to the interest
acquired.
4.5 Registration of Certificates, Registration of Transfers and Exchanges. The
Partnership shall maintain all records for the exchange and registration of the
Certificates including all forms of transfer for the Certificates and shall:

such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it shall provide
for the registration of the Certificates and of transfers thereof;
(b) Ensure that all Certificates presented for transfer shall
be duly endorsed for transfer or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer; and
(c) Ensure that each Certificate shall bear an original issue
date.

Certificates. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
Partnership shall not be required to ascertain whether any transfer or exchange
of Certificates complies with the registration provisions or exemptions from the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, applicable state securities law or the Investment Company Act of 1945,
as amended; provided that, if a Certificate is specifically required to be
delivered to the Partnership by a purchaser or transferee of a Certificate, the
Partnership shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether it
conforms to the requirements of this Agreement and shall promptly notify the
party delivering the same if such Certificate does not so conform.
4.6 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Certificate for
registration or transfer, the Partnership, or any agent or manager of the
Partnership, may treat the person in whose name such Certificate is registered
as the owner of the Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions
pursuant to this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and the
Partnership shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.
10
4.7 Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If (i) any mutilated
Certificate is surrendered to the Partnership, or (ii) the Partnership receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, together with indemnity or security sufficient to hold it harmless,
the Partnership shall execute, and upon its written request the Partnership
shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Certificate
or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate
of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the
Partnership may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section are exclusive
and shall preclude (to the extent permissible under applicable law) all other
rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates.

documents required by law to be filed to reflect the dissolution of the

Partnership as provided by law and the terms of this Agreement.
5.3 Distributions on Dissolution.
After dissolution, distributions of cash to Partners on account of their
interests as Partners shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article
III. Assets of the Partnership may be distributed in kind on the basis of the
then fair market value thereof as determined by an independent appraiser
selected by the distributor appointed by the General Partner, or the persons
carrying out the winding up of the affairs of the Partnership in accordance with
Section 5.2. If assets are distributed in kind, they may be distributed to the
Partners as tenants in common.

5.4 Distributions in Accordance with Capital Accounts.
In the event the Partnership is "liquidated" within the meaning of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions shall be made

determined after all adjustments to the Partners' Capital Accounts for the
taxable year. Such distribution shall be made within the time periods required
by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b).
5.4.1 Deemed Distribution and Recontribution.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article VI, in the event the
Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) but the Partnership is not required to be dissolved and
wound up pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2, the assets of the Partnership shall
not be liquidated, the Partnership's liabilities shall not be discharged, and
the Partnership's affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, solely for federal
income tax purposes, the Partnership shall be deemed to have contributed the
assets and liabilities of the Partnership in kind to a new Partnership in
exchange for an interest in the new Partnership. Immediately thereafter, the
Partnership shall be deemed to have distributed interests in the new Partnership
to the Partners in proportion to their respective interests in the Partnership.
