Such limited partner and any additional limited partners hereafter admitted to the partnership as herein provided are collectively referred to as "Limited Partners", and the Limited Partners, as constituted from time to time, and the General Partner are collectively referred to as the "Partners".

The Partners desire to form a limited partnership to engage in the business described in Paragraph 3 upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

It is, therefore agreed:

1. FORMATION. The parties do hereby form a limited partnership (the "Partnership") pursuant to the provisions of Article VIII of the Partnership Law of the State of New York.

2. NAME AND OFFICE. The name of the Partnership shall be SB Partners. The office of the Partnership shall be located at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, or at such other place or places as the General Partner may from time to time determine.

3. PURPOSES. The purposes of the Partnership are (a) to purchase, lease, sell, own, develop and construct improvements upon, to finance the acquisition, operation and development of, and the construction of improvements upon, and to operate and maintain for any uses, real property, or interests therein, wherever located; (b) to purchase, lease, sell, own and operate, and to finance the acquisition and operation of, personal property; (c) to incur indebtedness, secured or unsecured, for any of the purposes of the Partnership; (d) to lend any of the monies or other assets of the Partnership with or without security; (e) to invest and reinvest the assets of the Partnership in, and to purchase or otherwise acquire, hold, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or

(b) by decision of the General Partner, concurred in by Limited Partners holding more than 50% of the Units of the Partnership which are held by Limited Partners; or

5. CAPITAL. The Capital of the Partnership shall be measured in terms of Units and may be increased from time to time by contributions in cash or in property as hereinafter provided.

6. DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTNERS AND ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES AMONG PARTNERS.

(a) Distributions of cash to the Partners may be made from time to time, at the discretion of the General Partner, in amounts not to exceed the Gains and Earnings Account (which is described in subparagraph 7(c)) as of the date designated by the General Partner for the determination of the persons entitled to receive such distribution as provided in subparagraph (f) of this paragraph. The Gains and Earnings Account shall be decreased by the amount of each distribution made, the decrease to be effected as of such designated date.

(b) Distributions of cash made in any fiscal year of the Partnership (as distinct from the allocation of Net Profit or Net Loss, which shall be as provided in subparagraphs (c) and (d) of this paragraph) shall be divided among the Partners as follows:

(i) first, to the extent necessary, to satisfy the Annual Distribution Preference for such fiscal year and then, to the extent it has not been satisfied for all preceding fiscal years ending after January 1, 1971, to satisfy the Annual Distribution Preference for all such

fiscal years; and

(ii) the balance, if any, as follows: 25% to the General Partner and 75% to all Partners divided among the Partners in proportion to the number of Units held by them as of the end of such fiscal year.

The term "Annual Distribution Preference" for any fiscal year of the Partnership shall mean an amount equal to the excess, if any, of 8% (or for a fiscal year of less than 365 days, 8% multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in such fiscal year and the denominator of which is 365) of the daily average Capital for such year over one-half of the Net Loss, if any, for such year. For purposes of the computation of the Annual Distribution Preference, the Net Loss shall be deemed to be the net loss stated on the Federal income tax return originally filed by the Partnership for the applicable fiscal year and shall not thereafter be adjusted notwithstanding any subsequent adjustment ill the Net Loss for such fiscal year from any cause. Any such subsequent adjustment will be reflected in the computation of the Annual Distribution Preference for the fiscal year in which the adjustment is made.

The Annual Distribution Preference, to the extent satisfied, shall be divided among the Partners in proportion to the number of Units held by them as of the end of the fiscal year.

(i) to the extent available, an amount equal to 8% of the daily average Capital for such fiscal year among the Partners in proportion to the number of Units held by them as of the end of such fiscal year; and

(ii) the balance, if any, as follows: 25% to the General Partner and 75% to all Partners allocated among the Partners in proportion to the number of Units held by them as of the end of such fiscal year.

(d) The Net Loss of the Partnership for any fiscal year shall be allocated among the Partners in proportion to the number of Units held by them as of the end of such fiscal year.

(e) The terms "Net Profit" and "Net Loss" of the Partnership shall mean the net profits or losses, as the case may be, from the operations of the Partnership, as

* The allocation of Net Profit set forth in this Agreement of Limited Partnership was changed to comply with the Tax Reform Act of 1976. See "Allocation of Net Profit and Net Loss and Distributions of Cash to the General Partners and the Limited Partners."

determined for Federal income tax purposes.

(f) The General Partner shall designate a date for the determination of the owners of Units who shall be entitled to receive any distribution which is to be made according to the number of Units held, and such distribution shall be to the owners of the Units as of such date.

(g) Any Unit which was not outstanding at the beginning of the fiscal year in which or for which any allocation or distribution is made shall be deemed for the purposes of such allocation or distribution (except in connection with the liquidation of the Partnership) to be a fraction of a Unit, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the date of the issuance of such Unit to the end of such fiscal year and the denominator of which shall be the number of days in such fiscal year. The owner of each such Unit shall receive in respect thereof the same fractional portion of all allocations or distributions (except in connection with the liquidation of the Partnership) made in or for the fiscal year in which such Unit was issued in respect of each Unit which was outstanding at the beginning of the year.

(h) If any distribution is made for any fiscal year, before the Annual Distribution Preference for such year is determined, the General Partner shall estimate the amount of the Annual Distribution Preference for such year and such distribution shall be allocated by the General Partner on the basis of such estimate, Distributions made within three months after the end of a fiscal year, if so designated by the General Partner, shall be deemed to have been made for such fiscal year.

(i) Any allocation, or distribution not otherwise specifically provided for herein shall be among the Partners in proportion to the number of Units held.

7. MEMORANDUM ACCOUNTS FOR DETERMINATION OF UNIT VALUES.

For purposes of the computation of Unit Values as defined in paragraph 8, the following shall apply:

(a) All contributions to the Partnership, whether in cash or in property and whether by way of Initial Investment, New Investment or Reinvestment shall be credited to the Capital of the Partnership. The Capital of

the Partnership will be divided into two accounts, the Aggregate Capital Investment Account and the Capital Cash Account. The Aggregate Capital Investment Account is the sum of the Capital Investments in each of the Partnership properties and other assets. The Capital Investment in each property or asset is the total net expenditures paid from the Capital Cash Account for the purchase of, capital improvements to, or capitalized carrying costs for, such property or asset, less all amounts by which such Capital Investment has been reduced pursuant to subparagraph (c) of this paragraph. If a property or other asset is contributed to the Partnership, the initial Capital Investment for such property or asset will be equal to the value at which the contribution was accepted. The Capital Cash Account shall be equal to the excess of the Capital over the Aggregate Capital Investment Account.

(b) The Amortization Account for each property or other asset shall be the cumulative sum of the amortization of indebtedness then encumbering such property or asset which has been paid from the Gains and Earnings Account, less all amounts by which such Amortization Account has been reduced pursuant to subparagraph (c) of this paragraph.

(c) The Gains and Earnings Account shall consist of the excess of the gross cash receipts of the Partnership (other than contributions to the Capital) over the gross cash payments and distributions of the Partnership (other than from the Capital Cash Account and other than payments for capitalized costs of organization of the Partnership and expenses of offering and sale of interests in the Partnership), subject to the following:

(i) The net proceeds of borrowings not related to or secured by a particular property and of borrowings secured by purchase money indebtedness described in subdivision (v) of this subparagraph shall be added, in the discretion of the General Partner, either to the Gains and Earnings Account or to the Capital Cash Account. The Account to which such borrowings are added shall be reduced when and to the extent they are repaid.

(ii) The net proceeds of a borrowing related to or secured by a particular property, to the extent they exceed the amount to be used (x) to repay other indebtedness related to or secured by such property, (y) for improvements on such property or on an adjoining and

related property or (z) for the purchase of such property or of an adjoining and related property, shall be applied to the extent available in the following manner:

(A) first to increase the Gains and Earnings Account by up to the amount of the Amortization Account for such property and the Amortization Account for such property shall be reduced by the amount of such increase;

(B) then to increase the Capital Cash Account by up to the amount of the Capital Investment in such property and the Capital Investment Account for such property shall be reduced by the amount of such increase; and

(iii) In the event of a sale or other disposition, voluntary or involuntary, of the entire interest of the Partnership in a property, the proceeds thereof shall be applied in the following manner:

(A) first the Gains and Earnings Account shall be increased by the amount of the Amortization Account for such property and the Amortization Account for such property shall be reduced to zero;

(B) then the Capital Cash Account shall be increased by the amount of the Capital Investment in such property and the Capital Investment Account for such property shall be reduced to zero; and

(C) then the Gains and Earnings Account shall be increased by the excess, if any, of the net proceeds of such sale or disposition over the sum of the Amortization Account for and the Capital Investment in such property (before they were reduced as provided in clauses A and B above). If the sum of the Amortization Account for and the Capital Investment in such property exceeds such net proceeds, the Gains and Earnings Account (after it has been increased as provided in clause A above) shall be reduced by the amount of the excess.

(iv) In the event of a sale or other disposition, voluntary or involuntary, of less than the entire interest of the Partnership in a property, to the extent that the net proceeds thereof exceed the amount thereof to be used (x) to repay indebtedness related to or secured by such property, (y) for improvements on such property or on an adjoining and related property and (z) for the purchase of an adjoining and related property, they shall be applied to the extent available in the following manner:

(v) If the proceeds of a sale or other disposition shall consist, in whole or ill part, of evidences of indebtedness, the increases in the respective Accounts to be effected in the event of such sale or other disposition as provided in subdivisions (iii) and (iv) of this subparagraph shall be deemed to have been effected by the addition to such Accounts, in the order specified in such subdivisions, first of the cash, if any, received upon such sale or other disposition to the extent available and then of such evidences of indebtedness. Subsequent principal payments on, or the proceeds of a sale of, such indebtedness shall be substituted for the portions of the indebtedness in each such Account in the order in which they were deemed to have been added thereto.

If on final disposition of any such evidence of indebtedness, as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion, the Partnership shall realize in cash less than the principal amount thereof, (x) if such indebtedness was received by the Partnership upon the sale or other disposition of the entire interest of the Partnership in a property, the Gains and Earnings Account shall be reduced

by the deficit, and (y) if such indebtedness was received by the Partnership upon the sale or other disposition of less than the entire interest of the Partnership in a property, the Accounts to which such indebtedness was deemed to have been added shall be reduced by the deficit in reverse order of application.

If the Partnership shall acquire any property, by foreclosure or otherwise, which was security for indebtedness owed to the Partnership, then the Capital Investment in such property shall be equal to the unpaid amount of such indebtedness plus the expenses of foreclosure or other means of acquisition, less any moneys actually collected from persons obligated to pay such indebtedness.

(vi) The Gains and Earnings Account shall be decreased by all amounts paid in respect of obligations of the Partnership except for Capital Investments and except for capitalized costs of organization of the Partnership and expenses of offering and sale of interests in the Partnership. If the amount paid in respect of any such obligation exceeds the Gains and Earnings Account, the Capital Cash Account shall be reduced by the amount of such excess, and, (x) if the obligation so paid pertains to a particular property, the Capital Investment for such property shall be increased by the amount by which the Capital Cash Account was 80 reduced, or, (y) if the obligation so paid does not pertain to a particular property, the amount by which the Capital Cash Account was so reduced shall be carried forward in a special account until it has been repaid as provided in the next sentence. As amounts become available in the Gains and Earnings Account for the purpose, the Gains and Earnings Account shall be reduced by the amount by which the Capital Cash Account was so reduced and the Capital Investment Account shall be decreased and the Capital Cash Account shall be increased accordingly.

(vii) The provisions with respect to properties of the Partnership in subdivisions (i) through (vi) of this subparagraph shall also apply to any other assets of the Partnership.

8. CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS.

(a) Initial. Each Partner shall make a contribution in cash to the Capital of the Partnership in the aggregate amount specified in Schedule A to this Agreement at the

time or times set forth in a schedule promulgated by the General Partner. Upon payment of his total contribution he shall be credited with the number of Units specified in Schedule A or upon payment of a portion of his contribution in accordance with such schedule, he shall be credited with the pro rata share of such number of Units.

(b) Additional. The General Partner may permit the Partners (including persons who are concurrently admitted as Limited Partners as provided in paragraph 9) to make additional contributions, at such times and in such amounts as the General Partner in .its sole discretion shall determine, either as a Reinvestment of distributions or, as a New Investment in cash or in property.

(i) Reinvestment. If the General Partner shall have elected to permit the reinvestment, in whole or in part, of a distribution ("Reinvestment") each Partner, whether listed on Schedule A hereto or admitted pursuant to paragraph 9 hereof, may reinvest all or any part of the distribution received by him (limited to his proportionate part of the Reinvestment) by contributing it to. the Capital and upon such contribution shall be credited with the additional number of Units determined by dividing the amount of the contribution by the Reinvestment Unit Value. The Reinvestment Unit Value is equal to the sum total of the Capital, the Gains and Earnings Account and the Amortization Account, all as constituted on the effective date of the Reinvestment and immediately after giving effect to such distribution, divided by the number of Units then outstanding. At least fifteen days prior to the distribution, the General Partner shall deliver to each Limited Partner a statement showing the amount of the proposed distribution, the effective date of the Reinvestment and the Reinvestment Unit Value as of the effective date of the Reinvestment. If a Limited Partner desires to Reinvest, he shall prior to the effective date of the Reinvestment advise the General Partner of the portion of such distribution that he desires to Reinvest and the General Partner shall as of the effective date of the Reinvestment transfer the applicable amount to the Capital and credit the Partner with the number of Units computed as provided above.

(ii) New Investment. From time to time, at the

option of the General Partner, each Partner (including persons who are concurrently admitted as additional Limited Partners as provided in paragraph 9) may be permitted to make a new investment ("New Investment") by contributing cash or property to the Capital and to acquire the number of additional Units determined by dividing the amount of the contribution by the New Investment Unit Value. The New Investment Unit Value is equal to the sum total of the Capital, the Gains and Earnings Account, the Amortization Account, and the value of the Intangible Appreciation of the Partnership, all as constituted on the effective date of the New Investment and immediately after giving effect to any concurrent distributions and Reinvestment of distributions, divided by the number of Units then outstanding. The value of the Intangible Appreciation of the Partnership will be determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion, whose determination shall be final and binding on the Partners; and will include: increased, but unrealized, market value of properties; the value of project planning and work in progress; the value of the Partnership as a going business; and all other factors of an intangible nature which nevertheless have value.

(c) Limitations on Capital Contributions. No Limited Partner may make additional contributions to the Capital if such Partner owns, or, after giving effect to such additional contribution, would own, more than 10% of the then outstanding Units; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to any Reinvestments as provided in subparagraph (b) (i) of this paragraph.

The General Partner, in its sale discretion, may refuse any New Investment by any Limited Partner without refusing it to all Limited Partners, may refuse anyone admission as an additional Limited Partner while accepting others, and may allow New Investment by additional Limited Partners without first allowing such New Investment by existing Partners. Reinvestment, however, is a right of the Partners and may not be refused or limited to any Partner unless it is refused or limited to all.

(d) Contributions of the General Partner. The General Partner may, in addition to its initial contribution specified in Schedule A, make additional contributions in

cash to the Capital of the Partnership in the manner specified in subparagraph (b) of this paragraph. The General Partner shall be permitted to Reinvest in the manner provided in subparagraph (b) (i) of this paragraph both its distributions on its Units and the amounts distributed to it pursuant to subdivision (ii) of subparagraph 6 (b).

(e) Contributions in Property. The General Partner, at its option, may accept contributions of property in exchange for Units. The Partners agree that, in such cases, gain, loss and depreciation shall be allocated as provided on the date of this Agreement in Section 704(C) (1) of the Internal Revenue Code.

(f) Fractional Units. Fractional Units may be issued for Reinvestment purposes and in other instances at the discretion of the General Partner.

9. ADMISSION OF ADDITIONAL LIMITED PARTNERS. The General Partner is authorized to admit additional Limited Partners to the Partnership at any time. Upon their initial contribution to the Capital, the additional Limited Partners shall receive Units computed as provided in subparagraph (b) (ii) of paragraph 8. Upon the admission of such additional Limited Partners, an amendment to the Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, reflecting such admissions and increases in contributions to the Capital, shall be filed. To accomplish the purposes of this paragraph, the General Partner is authorized to do all things necessary to effect the admission of such Limited Partners. A new Partner shall become a party hereto by executing. An appropriate supplement to this Agreement pursuant to which he agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that no such supplement shall become binding and effective until it has been executed by the General Partner. The admission of any additional Limited Partner pursuant to this paragraph shall not be cause for dissolution of the Partnership.

10. THE GENERAL PARTNER.

(a) The General Partner shall have the exclusive right and power to manage and operate the Partnership and to do all things necessary to carryon the business of the Partnership for the purposes described in paragraph 3. The General Partner shall devote so much of its time to the business of the Partnership as in its judgment the conduct
