of the assets of the Partnership made pursuant to section 734 of the Code as a
result of the distribution of property by the Partnership to a Partner (to the
extent that such adjustments have not previously been reflected in the Partners'
Capital Accounts) shall (a) be reflected in the Capital Account of the Partner
receiving such distribution in the case of a distribution in liquidation of such

from the inception of the Partnership. For purposes of this Section 7.4: (a) a
deduction shall constitute a "Non-Recourse Deduction" if, and to the extent
that, at the time such item was incurred it increased the amount of the
Partnership's Minimum Gain; (b) a Partner's share of the net decrease in
Partnership Minimum Gain during a taxable year shall be an amount that bears the
same relation to the net decrease in Minimum Gain during such year as such
Partner's Share of Minimum Gain at the end of the prior taxable year (or if
later at the time immediately following the last time that the capital accounts
of the Partners are increased pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-
l(b)(2)(iv)(f) or (r) to reflect the revaluation of Partnership property subject
to one or more non-recourse liabilities of the Partnership) bears to the amount
of Minimum Gain at the end of such prior taxable year (or such later date); (c)
a Partner's share of any decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain resulting from a
revaluation of Partnership property equals the amount of the increase in such
Partner's Capital Account attributable to such revaluation to the extent of the
reduction in Minimum Gain caused by such revaluation; (d) in determining the net
increase or decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable
year in which the Capital Accounts of the Partners are increased pursuant to a
revaluation of Partnership property subject to one or more non-recourse
liabilities of the Partnership, any decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain
attributable to each such revaluation shall be added back to the net decrease or
increase otherwise determined; and (e) a distribution to a Partner by the
Partnership that is allocable to the proceeds of any non-recourse liability of
the Partnership is allocable to an increase in the Partnership Minimum Gain to
the extent of the amount of the net increase, if any, in Partnership Minimum
Gain for such taxable year that is allocated to such non-recourse liability
under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1T(b)(4) (iv)(g)(2).
(c) "Partner Minimum Gain" means Minimum Gain that would result
if all partner non-recourse debt, as defined in Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv)(k)(4) ("Partner Non-Recourse Debt"), were treated as non-
recourse liabilities of the Partnership and the Partnership had no other non-
recourse liabilities.
(d) "Share of Partner Minimum Gain" means, for each Partner,
such Partner's Share of Minimum Gain that would result if all Partner Non-
Recourse Debt were treated as non-recourse liabilities of the Partnership and
the Partnership had no other non-recourse liabilities.

7.4.2. Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other
-----------------------
provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, if in any fiscal year there is a
net decrease in the amount of the Partnership's Minimum Gain or in the amount of
Partner Minimum Gain, each Partner shall be allocated income and gain (including
Gross Income) for such year or other period (and, if necessary, for subsequent
years) in proportion to, and to the extent of, an amount equal to the greater of
(i) the portion of such Partner's share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain or
Partner Minimum Gain during such year or period that is allocable to the
disposition of Partnership property subject to one or more non-recourse
liabilities of the Partnership (including Partner Non-Recourse Debt), or (ii)
the negative balances (computed with the adjustments described below) in such
Partner's Capital Accounts at the end of such year (prior to any allocation
pursuant to Section 7.1, Section 7.4.3, the last sentence of Section 7.4.4 or
the last sentence of Section 7.4.5). In determining a Partner's negative Capital
Account balance for purposes of this Section 7.4.2, a Partner's Capital Account
balance shall be increased by the amount, if any, that such Partner is obligated
to restore to the Partnership upon liquidation and shall be decreased by the
amounts of any net allocations, distributions or other items specified in the
first sentence of Section 7.4.3 that, as of the end of the taxable year, are
reasonably expected to be made to such Partner. For purposes of this Section
7.4.2 and Section 7.4.3, the amount that a Partner may be obligated to
contribute to the Partnership upon liquidation shall be considered to include:
(a) such Partner's allocable share (as determined under section 752 of the Code)
of any recourse indebtedness of the Partnership which could not be repaid out of
the Partnership's assets if all such assets were sold at their respective
Carrying Values; (b) any unconditional obligation of such Partner to contribute
additional amounts to the capital of the Partnership in the future (to the
extent not previously taken into account in determining such Partner's share of
recourse liabilities of the Partnership); (c) such Partner's Share of Minimum
Gain; and (d) such Partner's Share of Partnership Minimum Gain. In the event any
items of income and gain "including Gross Income) of the Partnership are
reallocated to a Partner pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.4.2,
subsequent items of loss, deduction, or Section 705(a)(2)(B) Expenditure of the
Partnership shall be allocated (prior to any allocation pursuant to Section 7.1,
but subject to Section 7.4.4) to the Partners in a manner designed to result in
each Partner having a Capital Account balance equal to what it would have been
had the reallocation of items of income and gain (including Gross Income)
pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.4.2 not occurred. Allocations
of income and gain (including Gross Income) made pursuant to this Section 7.4.2
shall be made with respect to Partnership Minimum Gain prior to any allocation
made pursuant to this Section 7.4.2 with respect to Partner Minimum Gain.
7.4.3. Qualified Income Offset. Notwithstanding any other
-----------------------
provision in this Agreement (other than Section 7.4.2), if (i) during any fiscal
year a Partner (a) is allocated pursuant to section 706(d) of the Code or
Treasury Regulation section 1.751-1(b)(2)(ii) any items of loss, deduction or
Section 705(a)(2)(B) Expenditure, (b) is distributed any cash or property
14
from the Partnership to the extent such distributions exceed offsetting
increases to such Partner's Capital Account that are reasonably expected to
occur during such year, or (c) receives any other adjustment, allocation or
distribution described in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2) (ii) (d)
(4), (5) or (6) and, as a result of such adjustment, allocation or distribution,
such Partner has a Qualified Income Offset Amount, then (ii) items of income and
gain (including Gross Income) for such fiscal year (and, if necessary,
subsequent years), shall (prior to any allocation pursuant to Section 7.1, the
last sentence of Section 7.4.4 or the last sentence of Section 7.4.5, but
subsequent to any allocation pursuant to Section 7.4.2) be allocated to such
Partner in an amount equal to his Qualified Income Offset Amount. As used
herein, the term "Qualified Income Offset Amount" for a Partner means the
excess, if any, of (x) the negative balance in a Partner's Capital Account
immediately after the adjustment, allocation or distribution described in clause
(i) of the preceding sentence (but without regard to any allocation pursuant to
clause (ii) of the preceding sentence), over (y) the maximum amount that such
Partner may be obligated to contribute to the Partnership upon liquidation as
determined pursuant to the third sentence of Section 7.4.2. In the event any
items of income and gain (including Gross Income) of the Partnership are
reallocated to a Partner pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.4.3,
subsequent items of loss, deduction or Section 705(a)(2)(B) Expenditure of the
Partnership shall be allocated (prior to any allocation pursuant to Section 7.1,
but subject to Sections 7.4.4 and 7.4.5) to the Partners in a manner designed to
result in each Partner having a Capital Account balance equal to what it would
have been had the reallocation of items of income and gain (including Gross
Income) pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.4.3 not occurred.
7.4.4. Limitations on Loss Allocation. Notwithstanding the
------------------------------
provisions of Section 7.1.4, in no event shall Net Loss (or items thereof) of
the Partnership be allocated to a Partner if such allocation would result in
such Partner having a Qualified Income Offset Amount. Any allocation to a
Partner which is prevented by the operation of the preceding sentence shall be
reallocated in accordance with Section 7.1.4, subject to the subsequent
provisions of this Section 7.4.4. For purposes of this Section 7.4.4, the
determination of whether an allocation of Net Loss (or items thereof) would
produce a Qualified Income Offset Amount for a Partner shall be made after
reducing the Partner's Capital Account by the amounts of any adjustment,
allocation or distribution described in clause (i) of the first sentence of
Section 7.4.3 that, as of the end of the fiscal year, are reasonably expected to
be made to the Partner. In the event any Net Loss of the Partnership is
reallocated from a Partner pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.4.4,
subsequent items of income and gain (including Gross Income) will first be
allocated (subject to Sections 7.4.2 and 7.4.3) to the Partners in a manner
designed to result in each Partner having a Capital Account balance equal to
what it would have been had the reallocation pursuant to the first sentence of
this Section 7.4.4 not occurred.
15
7.4.5. Allocation of Partner Non-Recourse Deductions. Items of
---------------------------------------------
loss, deduction and Section 705(a)(2)(B) Expenditures attributable, under
Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv)(h), to Partner Non-Recourse Debt
shall (prior to any allocation pursuant to Section 7.1, but subject to the
provisions of Section 7.4.4) be allocated, as provided in Treasury Regulation
section 1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv)(h), to the Partners in accordance with the ratios in
which they bear the economic risk of loss for such debt. In the event any items
of loss, deduction and Section 705(a)(2)(B) Expenditure of the Partnership are
allocated pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.4.5, subsequent items
of income and gain (including Gross Income) shall (prior to any allocation
pursuant to Section 7.1, and subject to Sections 7.4.2 and 7.4.3) be allocated
to the Partners in a manner designed to result in each Partner having a Capital
Account balance equal to what it would have been had the reallocation pursuant
to the first sentence of this Section 7.4.5 not occurred.

proceeds from liquidation shall be applied and distributed in the following
order of priority:
(a) First, to the payment of (i) debts and liabilities of the
Partnership, except loans or advances that may have been made by any
of the Partners to the Partnership, and (ii) expenses of liquidation;
(b) Second, to the setting up of any reserves which the Board
may deem necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or
obligations of the Partnership or of the Partners arising out of or in
connection with the Partnership. Such reserves may be paid over by
the Partners to a bank or trust company acceptable to the Board to be

of any of the aforementioned liabilities or obligations, and, at the
expiration of such period as the Board shall deem advisable,
distributing the balance, if any, thereafter remaining, in the manner

(d) Fourth, any balance remaining shall be distributed to the
Partners in accordance with their respective positive Capital Account
balances.

Account.
If a liquidating distribution is to be made at a time when there is a
material difference between the aggregate Carrying Values and the aggregate fair
market values of the Partnership's properties, each Partner's Capital Account
shall be adjusted immediately before the distribution to reflect a revaluation
of the Partnership's properties to their respective fair market values in
accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation section 1.704-
1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(5).
