3. DISTRIBUTIONS.
On every Distribution Payment Date, the holders of Class H
Partnership Preferred Units shall be entitled to receive distributions payable
in cash in an amount per Class H Partnership Preferred Unit equal to the per
share dividend payable on the Class H Preferred Stock on such Distribution
Payment Date. Each such distribution shall be payable to the holders of record
of the Class H Partnership Preferred Units, as they appear on the records of
the Partnership at the close of business on the record date for the dividend
payable with respect to the Class H Preferred Stock on such Distribution
Payment Date. Holders of Class H Partnership Preferred Units shall not be
entitled to any distributions on the Class H Partnership Preferred Units,
whether payable in cash, property or stock, except as provided herein.
4. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE.
(a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Partnership, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any
payment or distribution of the Partnership (whether capital, surplus or
otherwise) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Partnership
Units, the holders of Class H Partnership Preferred Units shall be entitled to
receive Twenty Five Dollars ($25) per Class H Partnership Preferred Unit (the
"Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount per Class H Partnership Preferred
Unit equal to all dividends (whether or not declared or earned) accumulated,
accrued and unpaid on one share of Class H Preferred Stock to the date of final
distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any
further payment. Until the holders of the Class H Partnership Preferred Units
have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, plus an amount equal to all
dividends (whether or not declared or earned)

accumulated, accrued and unpaid on the Class H Preferred Stock to the date of
final distribution to such holders, no payment shall be made to any holder of
Junior Partnership Units upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Partnership. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Partnership, the assets of the Partnership, or proceeds thereof, distributable
among the holders of Class H Partnership Preferred Units shall be insufficient
to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on
any Parity Partnership Units, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall
be distributed among the holders of Class H Partnership Preferred Units and any
such Parity Partnership Units ratably in the same proportion as the respective
amounts that would be payable on such Class H Partnership Preferred Units and
any such other Parity Partnership Units if all amounts payable thereon were
paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or
merger of the Partnership with one or more partnerships, or (ii) a sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets shall not be
deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or
involuntary, of the Partnership.
(b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Partnership, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of
Class H Partnership Preferred Units and any Parity Partnership Units, as
provided in this Section 4, any other series or class or classes of Junior
Partnership Units shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled
to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the
holders of the Class H Partnership Preferred Units and any Parity Partnership
Units shall not be entitled to share therein.
5. REDEMPTION.
Class H Partnership Preferred Units shall be redeemable by the
Partnership as follows:
(a) At any time that the Previous General Partner
exercises its right to redeem all or any of the shares of Class H Preferred
Stock, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to redeem an equal number
of Class H Partnership Preferred Units, at a redemption price per Class H
Partnership Preferred Unit payable in cash equal to 100% of the Liquidation
Preference per share of Class H Preferred Stock, plus an amount equal to all
accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends on one share of Class H Preferred
Stock to the date fixed for redemption (the "Call Date"), in the manner set
forth herein; provided, however, that in the event of a redemption of Class H
Partnership Preferred Units, if the Call Date occurs after a dividend record
date for the Class H Preferred Stock and on or prior to the related
Distribution Payment Date, the distribution payable on such Distribution
Payment Date in respect of such Class H Partnership Preferred Units called for
redemption shall be payable on such Distribution Payment
K-3

Date to the holders of record of such Class H Partnership Preferred Units on
the applicable dividend record date, and shall not be payable as part of the
redemption price for such Class H Partnership Preferred Units.
(b) If the Partnership shall redeem Class H Partnership
Preferred Units pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, from and after the
Call Date (unless the Partnership shall fail to make available the amount of
cash necessary to effect such redemption), (i) except for payment of the
redemption price, the Partnership shall not make any further distributions on
the Class H Partnership Preferred Units so called for redemption, (ii) said
units shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the
holders thereof as holders of Class H Partnership Preferred Units of the
Partnership shall cease except the rights to receive the cash payable upon such
redemption, without interest thereon; provided, however, that if a Call Date
occurs after a dividend record date for the Class H Preferred Stock and on or
prior to the related Distribution Payment Date, the full distribution payable
on such Distribution Payment Date in respect of such Class H Partnership
Preferred Units called for redemption shall be payable on such Distribution
Payment Date to the holders of record of such Class H Partnership Preferred
Units on the applicable dividend record date notwithstanding the prior
redemption of such Class H Partnership Preferred Units. No interest shall
accrue for the benefit of the holders of Class H Partnership Preferred Units to
be redeemed on any cash set aside by the Partnership.
If fewer than all the outstanding Class H Partnership Preferred Units
are to be redeemed, units to be redeemed shall be selected by the Partnership
from outstanding Class H Partnership Preferred Units not previously called for
redemption by any method determined by the General Partner in its discretion.
Upon any such redemption, the General Partner shall amend Exhibit A to the
Agreement as appropriate to reflect such redemption.
6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED UNITS.
All Class H Partnership Preferred Units which shall have been issued
and reacquired in any manner by the Partnership shall be deemed cancelled.

entitled to the receipt of distributions and of amounts distributable upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or
priority to the holders of Class H Partnership Preferred Units ("Senior

(b) on a parity with the Class H Partnership Preferred
Units, as to the payment of distributions and as to distribution of assets upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the distribution rates,
distribution payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per unit or
other denomination thereof be different from those of the Class H Partnership
Preferred Units if (i) such class or series of Partnership Units shall be Class
B Partnership Preferred Units, Class C Partnership Preferred Units, Class D
Partnership Preferred Units or Class G Partnership Preferred Units or (ii) the
holders of such class or series of Partnership Units and the Class H
Partnership Preferred Units shall be entitled to the receipt of distributions
and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in
proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid distributions per
unit or other denomination or liquidation preferences, without preference or
priority one over the other (the Partnership Units referred to in clauses (i)
and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as
"Parity Partnership Units"); and
(c) junior to the Class H Partnership Preferred Units, as
to the payment of distributions and as to the distribution of assets upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if (i) such class or series of
Partnership Units shall be Partnership Common Units or Class I High Performance
Partnership Units or (ii) the holders of Class H Partnership Preferred Units
shall be entitled to receipt of distributions or of amounts distributable upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or
priority to the holders of such class or series of Partnership Units (the

hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Junior Partnership Units").
8. SPECIAL ALLOCATIONS.
(a) Gross income and, if necessary, gain shall be
allocated to the holders of Class H Partnership Preferred Units for any Fiscal

Class H Partnership Preferred Units (other than an amount included in any
redemption pursuant to Section 5 hereof) with respect to such Fiscal Year.
(b) If any Class H Partnership Preferred Units are
redeemed pursuant to Section 5 hereof, for the Fiscal Year that includes such

for subsequent Fiscal Years) (a) gross income and gain (in such relative
proportions as the General Partner in its discretion shall determine) shall be
allocated to the holders of Class H Partnership Preferred Units to the extent
that the redemption amounts paid or payable with respect to the Class H
Partnership Preferred Units so redeemed exceeds the aggregate Capital
Contributions (net of liabilities assumed or taken subject to by the
Partnership) per Class H Partnership Preferred Unit allocable to the Class H
Partnership Preferred Units so redeemed and (b) deductions and losses (in such
relative proportions as the General Partner in its discretion shall determine)
shall be allocated to the holders of Class H Partnership Preferred Units to the
extent that the aggregate Capital Contributions (net of liabilities assumed or
taken subject to by the Partnership) per Class H Partnership Preferred Unit
allocable to the Class H Partnership Preferred Units so redeemed exceeds the
redemption amount paid or payable with respect to the Class H Partnership

by the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner.

Units.
