provision hereof to the contrary, the following shall
govern: The Partnership shall only incur indebtedness in an
amount necessary to acquire, operate and maintain the
Property, or as otherwise permitted under the documents
creating the first mortgage lien on the Property. For so
long as any mortgage lien exists on the Property, the
Partnership shall not incur, assume, or guaranty any other
indebtedness. The Partnership shall not consolidate or
merge with or into any other entity or convey or transfer
its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to
any entity unless (i) the entity (if other than the

mortgage lien exists on the Property, the Partnership will
not voluntarily commence a case with respect to itself, as
debtor, under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any similar
federal or state statute without the unanimous consent of
all of the partners of the Partnership. For so long as a
mortgage lien exists on the Property, no material amendment
to this Partnership agreement may be made without first
obtaining approval of the mortgagee holding a first
mortgage lien on the Property."
C. Indemnification. Notwithstanding any provision
hereof to the contrary, the following shall govern: Any
indemnification shall be fully subordinated to any
obligations respecting the Property and shall not constitute
a claim against the Partnership in the event that cash flow
is insufficient to pay such obligations."
D. Separateness Covenants. Notwithstanding any
provision hereof to the contrary, the following shall
govern: For so long as any mortgage lien exists on the

and books of account from those of any affiliate.
