ARTICLE 5.
TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS
5.1 Voluntary Transfers by General Partner. The General Partner
shall have the right to sell, assign, transfer, give or in any other way dispose
of its entire interest as general partner of the Partnership. Prior to the

transferee shall be admitted as an additional general partner of the Partnership
and is hereby authorized to continue the business of the Partnership without
dissolution. Upon such a sale or other disposition, the General Partner shall
cease to be a general partner of the Partnership as provided in Article 6.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the General Partner
may pledge, encumber, or otherwise give as collateral for loans or other
indebtedness, its general partnership interest in the Partnership without notice
to or the consent of the Limited Partner; upon any such pledge, encumbrance or
grant of a security interest by the General Partner, the General Partner shall
not cease to be a general partner of the Partnership.

5.2 Transfer by Limited Partner. No voluntary assignments,
transfers, hypothecation or encumbrance of the Limited Partner's interest or any
portion thereof shall be permitted unless (i) the prior written consent of the
General Partner is obtained, and (ii) said assignment, transfer, hypothecation
or encumbrance, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the General Partner,
complies with all applicable securities laws, and does not dissolve the
Partnership under the Limited Partnership Act. The requirement of said opinion
may be waived in the sole discretion of the General Partner. Any such transfer,
assignment, hypothecation or encumbrance of the Limited Partner's interest shall
not require the dissolution, winding up and liquidation of the Partnership.
Except to the extent otherwise specified in any such assignment, an assignee of
any interest in the Partnership shall be entitled to receive allocations of
profits or losses, including all items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and
credit thereof, and distributions of cash or other property attributable to the
assigned interest from and after the date on which such assignment is treated to
have occurred under this Agreement. No assignee of all or any part of the
Limited Partner's interest shall become a substituted Limited Partner with
respect to such interest unless the General Partner shall consent thereto in
writing, such consent to be in the sole discretion of the General Partner. A
person who acquires an interest in the Partnership but who is not admitted as a
substituted Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be entitled only
to allocations and distributions with respect to such interest in accordance
with this Agreement, and shall have no right to any information or accounting of
the affairs of the Partnership, shall not be entitled to inspect the books and
records of the Partnership, and shall not have any of the rights, including but
not limited to the right to vote, of a General Partner or a Limited Partner
under the Limited Partnership Act or this Agreement. Accordingly, with respect
to such rights, including but not limited to the right to vote, a Limited
Partner shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as the owner of any
interest assigned by him with respect to which the assignee has not become a
substituted Limited Partner.
5.3 Bankruptcy or Dissolution of the Limited Partner. Upon the
bankruptcy, dissolution, or cessation to exist as a legal entity of the Limited
Partner, the authorized representative or successor of such Limited Partner
shall have all the rights of the Limited Partner for the purpose of effecting
the orderly winding up and dissolution of the business and affairs of such
Limited Partner and such power as the Limited Partner possessed to constitute a
successor as an assignee and in making application to substitute such assignee
as a Limited Partner.

ARTICLE 6.
RESIGNATION OF OR TERMINATION OF STATUS AS GENERAL PARTNER
6.1 Withdrawal of General Partner. The General Partner shall have
the right to withdraw as and cease to be the General Partner at any time upon

(iii) the bankruptcy of the General Partner or the filing of a certificate of
dissolution, or its equivalent, or (iv) the involuntary transfer by operation of

Partnership Act, the General Partners liability as a general partner of the
Partnership under the Limited Partnership Act and this Agreement shall cease and
the Partnership shall promptly take all steps reasonably necessary under the
Limited Partnership Act to cause such cessation of liability; provided, however,
that if the General Partner resigns during dissolution and winding up the
Partnership, the General Partner shall continue to be the General Partner for
purposes of winding up the Partnership's affairs pursuant to Section 7.2 of this
Agreement, unless a successor General Partner is elected.
6.4 Election of Successor General Partner. Upon the withdrawal or
termination of general partnership status of a General Partner, the remaining
General Partner, if any, is hereby authorized to and shall continue the
Partnership without dissolution. If all of the General Partners withdraw or

Act, the Limited Partner may, within ninety (90) days of such withdrawal or
termination of status, consent in writing to continue the business of the
Partnership and to the election, to be effective as of the date of such
withdrawal or termination of status, of one or more successor General Partners.
Such election may occur before or after the effectiveness of such withdrawal or
termination; provided, however, that if such election occurs before such
effectiveness, the person so elected shall not become the

person has executed an amendment to this Agreement and has filed any and all
such amendments to the Certificate and other documents necessary to comply with
the Limited Partnership Act, and shall agree to accept all accompanying
liabilities, duties and obligations hereunder. The successor General Partner or
General Partners shall purchase from the terminated or withdrawing General
Partner its interest as general partner in the Partnership for an amount equal
to its then capital account balance. If an additional or successor General
Partner is admitted to the Partnership as provided in this Agreement, the
additional or successor General Partner, together with all remaining General
Partners, are hereby authorized to and shall continue the business of the
Partnership without dissolution (and if a successor General Partner is admitted
at a time when the withdrawing General Partner is the sole remaining General
Partner, such successor shall be admitted as a General Partner immediately prior
