(B) other prime lenders;
(C) General Partner;
(D) Limited Partners; or

referred to as "Excess Capital Contributions") in order to provide wholly or
partly for the aggregate Additional Capital Contributions required by the
Partnership. The decision of the General Partner to make an Excess Capital
Contribution on behalf of any one Partner shall not obligate the General Partner
to make similar Excess Capital Contributions on behalf of any other Partner who

PARTNER'S ACTIVITIES
Any Limited Partner, the General Partner, any Affiliate, any shareholder,
officer, director or employee thereof may, notwithstanding the existence of this
Agreement, engage in or possess an interest in any other business or venture of
every nature and description, independently or with others including, but not
limited to, the ownership, financing, leasing, operation, management, brokerage
and development of real property, whether the same be competitive with the
Partnership or otherwise, without having or incurring any obligation to offer
any interest in such activities to the Partnership or any party hereto. Neither
this Partnership Agreement nor any activity undertaken pursuant hereto shall
prevent the General Partner or any Limited Partner from engaging in such
activities, or require the General Partner to permit the Partnership or any
Limited Partner to participate in any such activities and as a material part of
the consideration for the General Partner's execution hereof and admission of
each Limited Partner, each Limited Partner hereby waives, relinquishes and
renounces any such right or claim of participation. Neither the Partnership nor
any General or Limited Partner shall have the right to the income of proceeds
derived from any party's other business interest, even if that business interest
is competitive with the Partnership business and such business interest shall
not be deemed wrongful or improper.
