13.3 Amendment of Agreement.
(a) Amendments to this Agreement may be proposed by the General
Partners or by Limited Partners owning not less than 10% in interest of the
Limited Partners' Capital. Proposed amendments, subject to the conditions set
forth in this Article Thirteen, may concern any Article in this Agreement,
including, but not limited to (i) removal of any one or more of the General
Partners and election of one or more substitute General Partners; and (ii)
termination of the Partnership.
(b) Following any proposal of an amendment, the General Partners shall,
within fifteen (15) days after receipt, submit to all Limited Partners a
verbatim statement of the proposed amendment. The General Partners shall include
in such submission an opinion of counsel to the General Partners concerning
whether the proposed amendment would result in changing the Partnership to a
general partnership, changing the liability of the General Partners or the
Limited Partners, or allowing the Limited Partners to take part in the control
or management of the Partnership. The General Partners may also include in said
submission their recommendation as to the proposed amendment. In the case of any
proposed amendment which would affect the allocations or distributions provided
for in Articles Nine or Eighteen hereof or would amend Article 7.9(c) hereof,
the General Partners shall include in said submission the written advice of
counsel experienced in federal income tax matters as to the effect which such
amendment would have, if any, on such allocations and distributions and on the
bases of the Limited Partners' Partnership Interests. Any Limited Partner may,
at his sole expense, include an opinion of counsel experienced in matters under
the Act concerning the effect of the proposed amendment. Except as otherwise
provided in Articles 11.2(l) or 13.3(d) hereof, all proposed amendments, whether
proposed by the General Partners or by Limited Partners, shall be submitted to
Limited Partners for a vote, and the affirmative vote of holders of a majority
in interest of the Limited Partners' Capital (or such greater majority as may be
required by law) shall be required to approve any such amendment. The General
Partners may seek the written vote of the Limited Partners or may call a
meeting.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 13.3(a), no such
amendment shall alter the allocations specified in Articles Nine and Eighteen
hereof, alter the Capital Contributions of the Partners, or otherwise materially
adversely affect the interests of the Limited Partners without the specific
written consent of each Limited Partner adversely affected thereby; provided,
however, that Article 13.3(d) shall control in all events.
A-18
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of Article 13.3(c) or any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the General Partners are authorized
and directed to allocate Net Income, Net Loss, Gain, and Loss arising in any
year differently than otherwise provided for in this Agreement to the extent
that the General Partners determine that allocating income, gain, loss,
deduction or credit (or item thereof) in the manner provided for in this
Agreement would not be permitted under section 704(b) of the Code and Treasury
regulations promulgated thereunder. Any such allocation (hereinafter referred to
as the "New Allocation") shall be deemed to be a complete substitute for any
allocation otherwise provided for in this Agreement, and no amendment of this
Agreement or approval of any Limited Partner shall be required. In making a New
Allocation, the General Partners are authorized to act only after having been
advised by the Partnership's counsel that the existing allocations are not or
may not be permissible under section 704(b) of the Code and Treasury regulations
promulgated thereunder. The General Partners shall use their best efforts to
cause the New Allocations to resemble in all material ways and to the maximum
extent possible the allocations contained in this Agreement as originally
adopted; the General Partners, however, make absolutely no warranties in this
regard. No New Allocation, and no choice by the General Partners among possible
alternative New Allocations, shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by
any Limited Partner against any party, including. but not limited to, the
General Partners, the Partnership's counsel, or any individual related thereto.
(e) This Article 13.3 may not be amended without the unanimous written
consent of all Partners, and no provision of this Agreement requiring the
consent of greater than a majority in interest of the Limited Partners'Capital
may be amended without the same consent of the Limited Partners' Capital as is
required in the provision to be amended.

Partner contained in this Agreement and in such Limited Partner's Subscription
Agreement.

compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws and the conditions
on transfer set forth in this Article Fourteen, a Limited Partner shall have the
right to sell, assign, transfer, encumber, pledge, convey, hypothecate, or
otherwise transfer or dispose (which actions are collectively referred to in
this Article Fourteen as a "transfer") of all or any part of his Partnership
Interest. Transfers may be made only with the consent of the General Partners,
which consent may be granted or withheld at the sole discretion of the General
Partners. Any such transfer shall also comply with the following conditions:

or transfers would, in the opinion of counsel for the Partnership or the General
Partners, result in the Partnership being considered to have terminated within
the meaning of Section 708 of the Code.
(b) In no event shall Units be assigned or transferred to a minor or an
incompetent except by will or intestate succession.
(c) No sale, assignment or transfer after which the transferor or the
transferee will hold an interest representing a Capital Contribution of less

state law, in the case of transfers by an Individual Retirement Account, Xxxxx
or pension plan), will be recognized for any purpose.
14.3 Effect of Transfer.
(a) No transfer will be binding upon the Partnership or the Partners
until (i) the provisions of Article 14.2 have been met; and (ii) there shall
have been filed with the Partnership a duly executed and acknowledged
counterpart of the instrument making such transfer, signed by both the
transferor and the transferee, with such instrument evidencing the written
acceptance by the transferee of all of the terms and provisions of this
Agreement and containing a representation by the transferor that such transfer
was made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
A-19
(b) All transfers of a Limited Partner's Partnership Interest shall
entitle the transferee only to receive the economic interest to, which the
transferring Limited Partner would otherwise be entitled. Such transferee shall
become a Substituted Limited Partner only with the written consent of the
General Partners following compliance with the conditions set forth in this
Article 14.3 and in Article 14.2 hereof. The Substituted Limited Partner shall
also be required to (i) execute and acknowledge such instruments as the General
Partners deem necessary or advisable to effect the admission of such person as a
Substituted Limited Partner, and (ii) pay all reasonable expenses incurred by
the Partnership in connection with such person's admission as a Substituted
Limited Partner (not to exceed $100).

conveyance occurs, or, at the General Partners' election, at 7:00 o'clock a.m.,
Orlando, Florida time, on the following day. Each Partner agrees to execute such
certificates and other documents and perform such acts as may be requested by
the General Partners in connection with such transfer. The General Partners
shall be required to amend this Agreement at least once each calendar quarter to
reflect the substitution of Limited Partners. Until this Agreement is so
amended, an assignee shall not become a Substituted Limited Partner. Any
Substituted Limited Partner so admitted to the Partnership will succeed to all
the rights and be subject to all the obligations of the transferring Limited
Partner with respect to the Partnership Interest as to which such Limited
Partner was substituted. The Limited Partners hereby consent to the substitution
as a Limited Partner of any individual or entity approved by the General
Partners.
14.4 Liability of Transferring Limited Partner. Any Limited Partner who
shall transfer all of his Partnership Interest shall cease to be a Limited
Partner of the Partnership, except that unless and until a Substituted Limited
Partner is admitted in his stead, such transferring Limited Partner shall retain
the statutory rights of an assignor of a limited partnership interest under the
Act. No substitution of an assignee as a Limited Partner shall operate to
relieve the assignor of the liabilities imposed under the Act or of his duties
and obligations hereunder, unless the General Partners agree in writing to
release such Limited Partner.

contained in this Agreement to the contrary, both the Partnership and the
General Partners shall be entitled to treat the transferor of any Partnership
Interest as the absolute owner thereof in all respects, and shall incur no

offered for sale to the public as described in the Prospectus. Each such person
or entity may apply for admission by completing, executing and delivering to the
General Partners (i) a form of subscription agreement required by the General
Partners which shall include, and constitute, an agreement by him to be bound by
this Agreement and to become a Limited Partner, (ii) his Capital Contribution,

death, legal incompetency, bankruptcy or dissolution of a Limited Partner shall
not dissolve the Partnership. The rights and obligations of such Limited Partner
to share in the Net Income, Net Loss, Net Cash Flow, Gain and Loss of the
Partnership, to receive distributions of Partnership funds and to transfer his
Partnership Interest pursuant to. this Article Fourteen shall, upon the
happening of such an event, devolve upon such Limited Partner's legal
representative or successor in interest, as the case may be, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Partnership shall continue as a
limited partnership. Upon the death of a Limited Partner, his legal
representative shall have all the other rights of a Limited Partner solely for

estate or other successor in interest shall be liable for all the obligations
and liabilities of such Limited Partner.

15.1 Additional General Partners. The General Partners may at any time
designate one or more additional general partners whose Partnership Interests
shall be such as shall be agreed upon by the General Partners and such
additional general partners, provided that the Partnership Interests of the
Limited Partners shall not be affected thereby.
15.2 Removal and Election of General Partners.
(a) Notwithstanding anything else herein contained, any General Partner
may be removed and a new General Partner may be elected as a substitute General
Partner in the place of such removed General Partner by the vote of a majority
in interest of the Limited Partners' Capital.
(b) Written notice of the removal of a General Partner shall be served
upon such General Partner, either by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, or by personal service. Such notice shall set forth the
reasons for the removal and the date upon which the removal is to become
effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, any removal of the last
remaining General Partner shall be effective only at the earlier of (i) such
date as a successor General Partner shall have been admitted to the Partnership
pursuant to Section 15.4 hereof, or (ii) a date ninety (90) days after the date
on which the required majority in interest of the Limited Partners' Capital
shall have voted for such removal of the General Partner. Upon the effective
date of the removal of a General Partner, he or it shall cease to be a General
Partner, and any loans made by such General Partner or his or its Affiliates to
the Partnership shall be repaid as expeditiously as possible.
(c) In the event a General Partner is removed and the remaining General
Partner or General Partners elect to continue the business of the Partnership
pursuant to Article 17.2, or if the business of the Partnership is continued
pursuant to Article 17.2 in the event of the removal of the last remaining
General Partner, then (i) the Partnership shall purchase the General Partner's
Partnership Interest at a price determined in accordance with Article 15.5
hereof, and (ii) if no substitute General Partner is elected in the place of any
removed General Partner, those persons or entities who are General Partners
following such removal shall use their best efforts to release such removed
General Partner (and his or its Affiliates, if applicable) from personal
liability on any existing or future Partnership borrowings.

General Partner.

that, following the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or dissolution of a General
Partner, the remaining General Partner or General Partners (if any) elect to
continue the business of the Partnership pursuant to Article 17.2, or if the
business of the Partnership is otherwise continued pursuant to Article 17.2, the
Partnership shall have the obligation, in accordance with Article 17.2, to
purchase the Partnership Interest of such General Partner at a purchase price
determined in accordance with Article 15.5 hereof.
A-21
(b) A General Partner may withdraw, whether through resignation or
otherwise, or transfer all of his General Partner's Partnership Interest at any
time provided that he shall give at least sixty (60) days prior written notice
to the Limited Partners of such resignation, and such withdrawal shall become
effective at the expiration of such sixty-day period. The last remaining General
Partner may withdraw or transfer all of his General Partner's Partnership
Interest only if (i) he shall give the notice specified in the foregoing
sentence, (ii) in such notice, he shall nominate as a substituted General
Partner a willing person or entity that, in such General Partner's reasonable
discretion, meets the requirements for qualification of the Partnership as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes, and (iii) a majority in interest of
Limited Partners' Capital shall consent in writing to such withdrawal,
resignation, or transfer. Such General Partner shall, concurrently with the
request for such consent, identify to the Limited Partners the interest to be
transferred, the date of the transfer, the proposed transferee and the proposed
substituted General Partner, if any, who shall in such General Partner's
reasonable discretion meet the requirements for qualification of the Partnership
as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. If the Limited Partners
consent to a transfer of such General Partner's Partnership Interest by the
requisite majority, the nominated substituted General Partner shall seek
admission to the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of Article 15.4
hereof prior to the withdrawal of such General Partner, and the withdrawal,
resignation or transfer of such General Partner shall become effective only upon
the admission of a substituted General Partner or the expiration of ninety (90)
days following such withdrawal, resignation or transfer. The substituted General
Partner shall purchase such withdrawing, transferring or resigning General
Partner's Partnership Interest at such price as the substituted General Partner
and such withdrawing, transferring or resigning General Partner shall agree upon
or, if they cannot so agree, at a price determined in accordance with Article
15.5 hereof. Notwithstanding anything else herein contained, no person or entity
shall be admitted as a substituted General Partner until the full purchase price
for the Partnership Interest of such withdrawing, transferring or resigning
General Partner has been paid in full or arrangements satisfactory to such
withdrawing, transferring or resigning General Partner for full payment have
been made. Upon the effective date of the withdrawal or resignation of any
General Partner, or the transfer of his Partnership Interest, he shall cease to
be a General Partner of the Partnership, and all loans made by him or it or by
such General Partner's Affiliates to the Partnership shall be repaid as
expeditiously as possible, and before any distributions to the Limited Partners.
15.4 Admission of Substituted General Partner. No person or entity
shall be admitted as a substituted General Partner unless all of the following
conditions are met or, by unanimous agreement of the Limited Partners, waived:
(a) such person or entity agrees in writing to accept the
responsibilities of the removed General Partner and makes arrangements
reasonably satisfactory to such General Partner (i) to release such General
Partner (and his Affiliates, if applicable) from personal liability on any
existing or future Partnership borrowings and to indemnify such General Partner
and his or its Affiliates against all other liabilities of the Partnership,
fixed, contingent or otherwise, except liabilities for which the General
Partners may not be indemnified by the Partnership under Article Nineteen or
(ii) to indemnify such General Partner and his or its Affiliates against all
liabilities of the Partnership, fixed, contingent or otherwise (including any
existing or future Partnership borrowings), except such liabilities for which
the General Partners may not be indemnified by the Partnership under Article
Nineteen;
(b) such person or entity agrees in writing to become a substituted
General Partner;
(c) counsel for the Partnership renders an opinion
that such admission is in conformity with the Act and
will not cause a termination or dissolution of the Partnership or cause it to be
classified other than as a partnership
for federal income tax purposes;
(d) a majority in interest of the Limited Partners' Capital consent to
the admission of such person as a substituted General Partner; and
(e) such person or entity executes and acknowledges such instruments as
may be necessary or advisable to effect the admission of such person or entity
as a substituted General Partner, including, without limitation, the written
acceptance and adoption by such person of the provisions of this Agreement and
the filing of an amendment to this Agreement evidencing such admission.
A-22
Upon satisfaction or waiver of the foregoing conditions, this Agreement shall be
amended in accordance with the Act, and all other steps shall be taken as are
reasonably necessary to effect the admission of the substituted General Partner.
15.5 Purchase Price of a General Partner's Interest.
(a) In the event that a General Partner's Partnership Interest is
purchased pursuant to Articles 15.2(c) or 15.3(a), or pursuant to 15.3(b) if a
purchase price cannot be agreed upon, the purchase price shall be based upon an
appraisal performed as set forth in this Article 15.5 and shall be equal to the
fair market value of the distribution of Partnership funds to which such General
Partner would have been entitled if the Partnership were dissolved and wound up
pursuant to Article Eighteen hereof on the effective date of the dissolution and
its assets sold on such date without compulsion of the Partnership to do so.
(b) The Partnership and the General Partner whose Partnership Interest
is being purchased shall select an appraiser which is not an Affiliate of the
Partnership or such General Partner to perform the appraisal. If such General
Partner and the Partnership cannot agree upon such an appraiser, then each shall
appoint one appraiser. If the two appraisers so appointed cannot agree on a
purchase price, the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser, or if the
first two appraisers are unable to agree upon a third appraiser, such third
appraiser shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association. The third
appraiser shall submit a written report on the value of such General Partner's
Partnership Interest. If the value arrived at by the third appraiser is between
the values arrived at by the first two appraisers, the report of the third
appraiser shall govern. If the value arrived at by the third appraiser is higher
than the value arrived at by the first two appraisers, the report of the higher
of the first two appraisers shall govern. If the value arrived at by the third
appraiser is lower than the value arrived at by the first two appraisers, the
report of the lower of the first two appraisers shall govern. The costs of the
appraisals shall be bome equally by such General Partner (or such General
Partner's legal representative) and the Partnership.
(c) The purchase price of such General Partner's Partnership Interest
shall be paid by the Partnership giving such General Partner (or such General
Partner's legal representative) a non-interestbearing unsecured promissory note
evidencing such purchase price payable only from Net Cash Flow otherwise payable
to the General Partners pursuant to Article Nine hereof or, as the case may be,
from assets available for payment of Partnership liabilities upon dissolution
and liquidation pursuant to Articles Seventeen and Eighteen hereof.
ARTICLE SIXTEEN

A-23
(d) Within 75 days following the close of each fiscal year, each
Limited Partner will be furnished with an annual statement of Unit valuation to
enable Limited Partners subject to annual reporting requirements under ERISA to
file such annual reports as they relate to their Partnership investment. The
statement will report an estimated value of each Unit based on the amount
Limited Partners would receive if the Properties were sold at their appraised
values as of the close of the fiscal year, and if such proceeds and any other
funds of the Partnership were distributed in a liquidation of the Partnership as
described in the Prospectus. For Properties acquired during the fiscal year, an
appraisal will not be obtained as of the end of such fiscal year if the
Partnership obtained an appraisal within a nine-month period prior to the close

the first three annual valuation reports to Limited Partners after the
termination of the offering, the General Partners will value all Properties at
cost and report the net asset value per each Unit at $500. In providing such
reports to the Limited Partners, the Partnership and the General Partners and
their Affiliates do not thereby make any warranty, guarantee or representation

actually realize the estimated value per Unit, or (ii) the Limited Partners will
realize the estimated net asset value if they attempt to sell their Units.

1934, as amended, to file quarterly reports with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Limited Partners will, within 60 days after the end of each fiscal
quarter, be furnished with a copy of each such report, containing a balance
sheet, a quarterly statment of income and cash flow, and all pertinent
information regarding the Partnership and its activities during the quarter, as
required by Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If
the Partnership is not subject to this filing requirement, Limited Partners will
be furnished with a semi-annual report within 60 days after the end of each
six-month period containing the information described in the preceding sentence,
but applicable to such six-month period.
(f) Until such time as all of the Limited Partners' Capital remaining
after payment of the amounts specified in Articles 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5 and
creation of reserves as provided in Article 7.6 is used to acquire Properties as
provided in Article 7.7 or is returned to investors as provided in Article 7.8,

be reconciled.

cause the Partnership to file on a timely basis all federal, state and local tax
and information returns required of the Partnership and shall, on behalf of the
Limited Partners, make such elections and determinations as are provided for
herein or as they otherwise in their sole discretion deem appropriate. Such
returns shall be prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
16.5 Tax Matters. Upon the transfer of a Partnership Interest, the
Partnership will consider, upon any Partner's request, an election to cause the
basis of the Partnership property to be adjusted for federal income tax
purposes, as provided in Section 754 of the Code. Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, or his
successor, is hereby designated as the "Tax Matters Partner" in accordance with
Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code and, in connection therewith and in addition to
all other powers given thereunto, shall have all other powers necessary or
appropriate to fully perform such role, including without limitation the power

"Liquidation Trustee") shall take full account of the Partnership's assets and
liabilities, file all certificates and notices of dissolution as are required by

and the cash assets of the Partnership following a dissolution shall, subject to
Article 8.3, be made in the following order of priority:
(a) first, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership's
debts and liabilities to creditors other than Partners;
(b) second, to the establishment of any reserves which the General
Partners or the Liquidation Trustee, as the case may be, may deem necessary for
any anticipated, contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the
Partnership arising out of the conduct of its business, which reserves will be
held in escrow until the expiration of such period of time as the General
Partners or the Liquidation Trustee, as the case may be, shall deem advisable,
at which time any balance of any such reserves not required to discharge such
liabilities or obligations shall be distributed as provided in subsections (c)
and (d) below;
(c) third, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership's
debts and liabilities, if any, to the Partners (other than in respect of their
Partnership Interests);
(d) fourth, after allocations of (i) Net Income or Net Loss, if any,
have been made pursuant to Article 9.1(a) hereof and (ii) Gain or Loss have been
made pursuant to Articles 9.1(b) or 9.1(c) hereof, to the Partners with positive
Capital Account balances, in proportion to such balances, up to amounts
sufficient to reduce such positive balances to zero; and
(e) thereafter, any funds then remaining shall be distributed 95% to
the Limited Partners and 5% to the General Partners.
18.3 Distribution in Kind. The Partnership shall not make any
distribution in kind of tangible or intangible assets.
18.4 Time for Orderly Liquidation. A reasonable amount of time shall be
allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Partnership and the
discharge of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the General Partners or
the Liquidation Trustee, as the case may be, to minimize the normal losses
attendant upon such liquidation.
18.5 Indebtedness of Partners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any
Partner shall be indebted to the Partnership, then until payment of such amount
by him, the General Partners or the Liquidation Trustee, as the case may be,
shall retain such Partner's distributive share of the assets and apply such
assets or the income therefrom to the liquidation of such indebtedness and the
cost of holding such assets during the period of such liquidation. If such
amount has not been paid or otherwise liquidated at the expiration of six months
after the statement required by the first sentence of Article 18.7 hereof has
been given to such Patner, the General Partners or the Liquidation Trustee, as
the case may be, may sell the interest of such Partner at public or private sale
of the best price immediately obtainable which shall be determined in the sole
judgment of the General Partners or the Liquidation Trustee, as the case may be.
Proceeds of such sale shall be applied to the liquidation of the amount then due
under this Article Eighteen, and the balance of such proceeds, if any, shall be
delivered to such Partner.
18.6 Deficit Restoration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, if, upon the liquidation of a General Partner's
partnership Interest (whether or not in connection with the liquidation of the
Partnership), such General Parnter has a negative balance in his Capital Account
(as detemined after taking into account Capital Account adjustments for the
Partnership taxable year during which such lliquidation occurs, other than those
made pursuant to this Article 18.6), then such General Parnter shall be required
to pay to the Partnership, by the end of such taxable year (or, if later, within
90 days after the date of such liquidation), an amount in cash equal to the
differnece btween such Partner's negative Capital Account and zero. The
aggregate of such payments by all General Partners having negative Capital
Accounts shall, upon liquidation of the Partnership, be distributed to the
Partnership's then-creditors, if any, and any excess among the Partners having
positive Capital Account balances.
A-26
18.7 Final Accounting. Upon the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant
to Article Seventeen, the accountants for the Partnership shall promptly
prepare, and the General Partners or the Liquidation Trustee, as the case may
be, shall furnish to each Partner, a statement setting forth the assets and
liabilities of the Partnership upon its dissolution. Promptly following the
complete liquidation and distribution of Partnership property and assets, the
Partnership accountants shall furnish to all Partners, a statement showing the
manner in which the Partnership assets were liquidated and distributed.
18.8 Compliance with Law. The General Partners and each Liquidation
Trustee shall comply with any requirements of the Act or other applicable law
pertaining to the winding up of a limited partnership, upon the completion of
which the Partnership shall be deemed terminated. Upon the complete liquidation
and distribution of the Partnership's assets, the Partners shall cease to be
Partners of the Patnership and the General Partners or the Liquidation Trustee,
as the case may be, shall execute, acknowledge, and cause to be filed all
certificates and notices required by law to terminate the Partnership.
ARTICLE NINETEEN
INDEMNIFICATION
19.1 General. If any threatened, pending or completed action, suite or
proceeding to which a General Partner or an Affiliate, as defined below, was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that such
General Partner or Affiliate (i) is or was a General Partner, or (ii) is an
Affiliate or a General Partner, the Partnership shall hold harmless and
indemnify such General Partner or Affiliate against any and all losses, harm,
liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to
attorneys' fees, judgments and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by such
General Partner or Affiliate in connection with such action, suit or proceeding
if such General Partner or Affiliate acted in good faith, within the scope of
the General Partners' authority, and in a manner reasonably believed to be in
the best interests of the Partnership, and provided that such General Partner's
or Affiliate's conduct does not constitute negligence, misconduct, or breach of
fiduciary duty to the Limited Partners. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, for purposes of this Article 19.1 only, the term "Affiliate"
shall mean any person performing services on behalf of the Partnership who (a)
directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control
with a General Partner; or (b) owns or controls 10% or more of the outstanding
voting securities of a General Partner; or (c) is an officer, director, partner
or trustee of a General Partner; or (d) if a General Partner is an officer,
director, partner or trustee, is any company for which a General Partner acts in
any such capacity.
19.2 Securities Laws Violations. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in Article 19.1, the Partnership shall not indemnify a General Partner
or Affiliate, as the term Affiliate is defined in Article 19.1, for any
liability imposed by judgment, and costs associated therewith, including
attorneys fees, arising from or out of a violation of state or federal
securities laws associated with the offer and sale of Units; provided, however,
that indemnification will be allowed for any and all settlements and related
expenses of lawsuits alleging securities laws violations and for any and all
expenses incurred in successfully defending such lawsuits, if a court either (i)
approves the settlement and finds that indemnification of the settlement and
related costs should be made, or (ii) approves indemnification of litigation
costs if a successful defense is made. The General Partner or Affiliate agrees
to apprise the court from which approval of indemnification pursuant to this
Article 19.2 is sought, prior to seeking such approval, of the positions of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and all state securities agencies with which
the Partnership has registered Units for sale to the public with respect to
indemnification for securities laws violations.
19.3 Liability Insurance. The Partnership shall not incur the cost of
that portion of any liability insurance which insures a General Partner or
Affiliate, as the term Affiliate is defined in Article 19.1, against liabilities
as to which such General Partner or Affiliate may not be indemnified under this
Article Nineteen.

20.1 General Partners as Attorney-in-Fact. In order to induce the
General Partners to accept each Limited Partner as a Limited Partner of the

this Agreement (either individually or through his agent and attorney), does
irrevocably constitute and appoint the General Partners, and each of them, with
full power of substitution and ratification, his true and lawful attorney, in
his name, place and xxxxx, to execute, acknowledge, swear to, file and record in
the appropriate public offices all documents, instruments and certificates of
whatsoever nature which the General Partners determine are necessary or
advisable to execute or conduct the business of the Partnership, including,
without limitation:

Partners deem appropriate to qualify or continue the Partnership as a limited
partnership (or a partnership in commendam) in any jurisdiction in which the
Partnership may conduct business;
(b) those which the General Partners deem appropriate to reflect a
change or modification of the Partnership or this Agreement made in accordance

(c) those which the General Partners deem appropriate to reflect the
admission of additional Limited Partners or General Partners or Substituted
Limited Partners admitted to the Partnership in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement; and

which the General Partners deem necessary, appropriate or convenient to sell,

this Agreement or to effect the dissolution, termination and liquidation of the

hereby declared to be irrevocable, and a special power coupled with an interest

provisions of this Agreement and any document executed or filed by any of the
General Partners pursuant to the Power of Attorney granted in this Article
Twenty, this Agreement shall govern. Each Limited Partner authorizes the General
Partners, and each of them, to take any further action which such General
Partner(s) shall consider necessary or advisable in connection with any of the

Attorney may be exercised by the General Partners by listing all of the Limited
Partners executing any agreement, certificate, instrument or document with the
single signature of the General Partners, or any of them, in their, his or its
capacity as attomey-in-fact for any and all of them; and shall survive the
delivery of a transfer by a Limited Partner of his Partnership Interest, except
that where the purchaser, transferee or assignee of the whole of such
Partnership Interest with the consent of the General Partner is admitted as a
Substituted Limited Partner, the Power of Attorney shall survive the delivery of
such transfer for the sole purpose of enabling such General Partner to sign,
execute, certify, acknowledge, swear to, file and record any such agreement,
certificate, instrument or document necessary to effect such substitution. The
power hereby conferred to make agreements, certificates, instruments, and
documents shall be deemed to include the power to sign, execute, acknowledge,
swear to, verify, deliver, file, record, and publish the same.
