Under state law, it is possible that a Limited Partner or

previous Distribution made to him if the Partnership does not have

General Partners that no Distribution to any Limited Partner or
Unitholder of Distributable Cash From Operations pursuant to
Paragraph 11.3 or Cash From Sales or Refinancings pursuant to
Paragraph 11.4 shall be deemed a return or withdrawal of capital,
even if such Distribution represents, for federal income tax
purposes, or otherwise (in full or in part) a distribution of
depreciation or any other noncash item accounted for as a loss or
deduction from or offset to the Partnership's income, and no
Limited Partner or Unitholder shall be obligated to pay any such
amount to or for the account of the Partnership or any creditor of
the Partnership; however, if any court of competent jurisdiction
holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any
Limited Partner or Unitholder is obligated to make any such
payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Limited
Partner or Unitholder and not of the General Partners or the
Assignor Limited Partner.

and nonassessable.

9.8 Payment Upon Removal. Should a General Partner be removed
as a General Partner of the Partnership according to the provisions
of Article 17, any portion of the Acquisition Fee, Asset Management
Fee, Property Management Fee, Partnership Management Fee and
Subordinated Property Disposition Fee or any other fee, commission
or interest which is then accrued and due, but not yet paid, or
which would have become due and payable subsequent to the date of
removal, shall be paid by the Partnership to such General Partner
or its Affiliate, as the case may be, at the same time and manner
as such fee, commission or interest would have been paid if such
General Partner had not been removed; provided, however that the
form of payment and the amount of any such fees, commissions,
interest and the General Partner's interest in Cash From Sales or
Refinancings shall be subject to the provisions set forth in
Paragraph 17.4.
10. PARTNERSHIP EXPENSES
10.1 Reimbursement of Expenses. The General Partners and their
Affiliates may be reimbursed by the Partnership for the following

11. ALLOCATION OF INCOME, LOSS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
11.1 Apportionment of Net Income, Net Loss and Distributions.
Except as otherwise provided in this Article 11, Net Income, Net
Loss, Depreciation and Distributions of the Partnership allocated
to Limited Partners, including the Assignor Limited Partner on
behalf of the Unitholders, shall be apportioned as follows:
11.1.1 except as provided in Paragraph 11.10.4(e), that
portion of Net Income, Net Loss, Depreciation and Distributions of
the Partnership allocated to one or more Limited Partners as a
group with respect to any month shall be apportioned among the
Limited Partner to whom such allocations are made in the ratio in
which the number of Limited Partnership Interests owned by each
Limited Partner on the first day of such month bears to the total
number of Limited Partnership Interests owned by all of such
Limited Partners as of that date, without regard to capital
accounts or the number of days during such month in which a person
was a Limited Partner. For purposes of determining the number of
days that each Limited Partnership Interest was owned during any
month during which any Closing Date occurs, investors who purchase
a Limited Partnership Interest from the Partnership on or prior to
the 15th day of such month will be treated as having owned the
Limited Partnership Interests underlying the Units from the
Partnership as of the first day of such month and investors who
purchase Limited Partnership Interests after the 15th day will be
treated for all purposes as having owned the Limited Partnership
Interests underlying the Units as of the first day of the
succeeding month. In the case of a proposed assignment of Limited
Partnership Interests, the assignment shall be effective from and
after the date provided in Paragraph 13.3;
11.1.2 except as provided in Paragraph 11.10.4(e), that
portion of Net Income, Net Loss, Distributions and Depreciation
which is apportioned to the account of the Assignor Limited Partner
for the benefit of Unitholders shall with respect to any month be
apportioned to each Unitholder in the ratio which the number of
Units owned by each Unitholder to whom such allocations are made on
the first day of the month bears to the total number of Units owned
by all such Unitholders on such date, without regard to capital
accounts or the number of days during such month in which a person
was a Unitholder. For purposes of determining the number of days
that each Unit was outstanding during any month during which any
Closing Date occurs, Unitholders who acquire Units from the
Partnership during the first 15 days of a month are treated as
having been accepted as Unitholders on the first day of a month and
Unitholders who acquire Units from the Partnership after the 15th
day will be treated as having been accepted as Unitholders on the
first day of the succeeding month. In the case of a proposed
assignment of Units, the assignment shall be effective from and
after the date provided in Paragraph 12.11; and
11.1.3 Allocations Causing Negative Capital Accounts.
Notwithstanding Paragraph 11.1.1, if any allocation of Net Loss or
Depreciation to a Unitholder or Limited Partner (i) would reduce
such Unitholder's or Limited Partner's capital account balance
below zero, (ii) would increase the negative balance in such
Unitholder's or Limited Partner's capital account at a time when
another Unitholder or Limited Partner has a positive capital
account balance, to the extent such allocation would cause the sum
of the negative capital account balances of such Partner or
Unitholder (determined after taking into account all prior
Distributions and all prior allocations of Net Income, Net Loss and
Depreciation), to exceed such Partner's or Unitholder's share of
the Partnership's Minimum Gain, as determined under Treas. Reg.
(Section) 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv)(f), at the close of the period in respect of
which the Net Loss or Depreciation, as the case may be, is to be
allocated, such excess shall instead be allocated, (a) first, in
the case of Net Loss, pro rata to Unitholders and Limited Partners
having positive capital account balances in proportion to their
respective positive capital account balances until such capital
account balances are reduced to zero and (b) second, in the case of
Depreciation (i) first, pro rata to Class A Unitholders and Limited
Partners holding Class A Units to the extent of and in proportion
to their respective positive capital account balances until such
capital account balances are reduced to zero, and (ii) thereafter,
pro rata to all Unitholders and Limited Partners having positive
capital account balances to the extent of and in proportion to
their respective capital account balances; provided, however, that
in no event shall there be a reallocation of any item of income,
gain, loss or deduction allocated among the Partners and
Unitholders pursuant to this Agreement for prior years.
In the event that the provisions of this Paragraph 11.1.3
prohibit the allocation of Net Loss and/or Depreciation to the
Limited Partners and Unitholders, such Net Loss and/or Depreciation
shall instead be allocated to the General Partners.
For purposes of determining a Limited Partner's or
Unitholder's capital account balance under this Paragraph 11.1.3,
Distributions made prior to or contemporaneous with any allocation
to a Limited Partner or Unitholder shall be reflected in such
Unitholder's or Partner's capital account prior to making such
allocation to such Unitholder or Partner.
For purposes of this Paragraph 11.1.3, a Partner's or
Unitholder's capital account shall be reduced for:
(x) allocations of Net Loss (or items thereof) or
Depreciation which, as of the end of each Partnership year, are
reasonably expected to be allocated to such Partner or Unitholder
pursuant to Code Section 704(e)(2), Code Section 706(d) and Treas.
Reg. (SECTION) 1.751-1(b)(2)(ii), and
(y) Distributions that, as of the end of such year,
reasonably are expected to be made to such Partner or Unitholder to
the extent they exceed offsetting increases to such Partner's or
Unitholder's capital account that reasonably are expected to occur
during (or prior to) the Partnership taxable years in which such
Distributions reasonably are expected to be made.
For purposes of determining the amount of expected
Distributions and expected capital account increases described in
(y) above: (A) the rule set forth in Treas. Reg. (Section)
1.704-1(b)(2)(iii)(c) concerning the presumed value of Partnership
Property shall apply, and (B) gross income or Net Income allocated
to a Partner or Unitholder pursuant to Paragraph 11.10.3 hereof
shall be taken into account. For purposes of this Paragraph 11.1.3
and Paragraph 11.10.3, a Partner's or Unitholder's capital account
shall be increased to the extent that such Partner or Unitholder is
obligated to fund deficits in such Partner's or Unitholder's
capital account upon liquidation of the Partnership (or is treated
as obligated to so restore such deficits pursuant to Treas. Reg.
(Section) 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c)).
11.2 (a) Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss and Tax-Exempt
Items. Except as provided in Paragraph 11.1.3 and 11.10.3, Net
Income (other than Net Income arising from the occurrence of a Sale
or Disposition of a Partnership Property), and Net Loss and all
items of income exempt from federal income tax shall be allocated
99% to the Limited Partners, including the Assignor Limited Partner
on behalf of the Unitholders, and 1% to the General Partners. That
portion of Net Income and Net Loss, if any, prior to the Initial
Closing Date shall be allocated 1% to the General Partners and 99%
to the original Limited Partner. Any expenditures of the
Partnership which are neither deductible nor properly chargeable to
his capital account under Code Section 705(a)(2)(B), or which are
treated as such expenditures under Treas. Reg. (SECTION) 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i),
shall be allocated as follows: (a) to the extent
such expenditures represent selling commissions which constitute
syndication expenditures under Code Section 709 and which are paid
by the Partnership, such expenditures shall be allocated to the
Units in respect of which such commissions were paid, and (b) the
balance of such expenditures shall be allocated among the Limited
Partners on a per Unit basis.
11.2 (b) Depreciation. The provisions of this Paragraph shall
apply only in the event that Class B/TE Units are acquired from the
Partnership by "tax-exempt entities," as defined under Section
168(j)(4) of the Code. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph
11.1.3, with respect to any property subject to a reduction in
available depreciation as a result of the acquisition of Class B/TE
Units by tax-exempt entities, Depreciation calculated over 19 years
(or other recovery period otherwise available to taxable entities)
shall be allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and Unitholders
holding Class A Units (and apportioned thereunder in accordance
with their respective ownership of Units) and 1% to the General
Partners; and Depreciation calculated over 40 years (or other
recovery period otherwise available to tax-exempt entities) shall
be allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and Unitholders holding
Class B/TE Units (and apportioned thereunder in accordance with
their respective ownership of Units) and 1% to the General
Partners. With respect to any property not subject to a reduction
in available Depreciation as a result of the acquisition of Class
B/TE Units by tax-exempt entities, Depreciation shall be allocated
1% to the General Partners and 99% to the Unitholders and Limited
Partners.
11.2 (c) Allocation of Book Items. In cases where Partnership
Property is, under Treas. Reg. (Section) 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), properly
reflected in the capital accounts of the Partners and Unitholders
at a fair market value that differs from the adjusted basis of such
property (such difference is hereinafter referred to as the "Book
Disparity"), then depreciation, amortization and gain or loss as
computed for book purposes with respect to such property ("Book
Depreciation," "Book Amortization," "Book Gain," and "Book Loss,"
respectively) will be greater or less than the depreciation,
amortization or gain or loss as computed for tax purposes. The
General Partners shall adopt, pursuant to Treas. Reg. (Section)
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), a reasonable method of computing Book Depreciation
and Book Amortization. Such Book Amortization and Book Depreciation
shall be allocated among the Partners and Unitholders and reflected
in Partners' and Unitholders' capital accounts under Paragraph
11.11(c) hereof, in a manner so as to eliminate to the extent
possible, the Book Disparity.
11.2 (d) Mandatory Allocations. Any allocation of Net Income,
Net Loss or Depreciation for tax purposes which is required to be
allocated among the Partners and Unitholders to take into account
the disparity between the fair market value of a Partnership asset
and its adjusted basis (e.g., allocations under Code Section 704(c)
for contributed property) shall be allocated among the Partners and
Unitholders in accordance with the requirements of the Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder.
11.3 Distribution of Distributable Cash From Operations.
11.3.1 Distributable Cash From Operations, if any, shall be
distributed 99% to the Limited Partners and Unitholders and l% to
the General Partners. Such Distributions shall be distributed
quarterly within 45 days after the close of a quarter, commencing,
if available, following the close of the first fiscal quarter which
closing occurs more than 60 days after the Initial Closing Date.
If any discrepancies in capital account balances (determined on a
per Unit basis) arise during the offering period among the Limited
Partners (including the Assignor Limited Partner on behalf of the
Unitholders), then, during or as soon as is practicable after the
expiration of the offering period, Distributions of Distributable
Cash From Operations or allocations of Net Income (or items
thereof) or Depreciation (determined in the discretion of the
General Partners) shall first be made so as to equalize the capital
account as to each Unit, with any excess Distributable Cash From
Operations or Net Income or Net Loss distributed or allocated in
the manner otherwise described herein. Units shall not be listed
on any national securities exchange or included for quotation on
the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation
System until such equalization per Unit shall have occurred.
11.3.2 The General Partners, in their sole discretion, may for
any period elect to defer Distributions to them of all or any
portion of their respective shares of Distributable Cash From
Operations, and any amount so deferred shall be distributed to the
Limited Partners and Unitholders as Distributable Cash From
Operations. In the event the General Partners make an election
pursuant to this Paragraph 11.3.2, the General Partners thereafter
shall be entitled to receive, at their election, an amount (without
interest) equal to any deferred Distribution to them of
Distributable Cash From Operations or Cash From Sales or
Refinancings prior to any Distribution to the Limited Partners and
Unitholders.
11.4 Distributions of Cash From Sales or Refinancings. Cash
From Sales or Refinancings shall, except as provided in Paragraphs
9.7, 11.3.2 and 11.7 hereof, be distributed in the following order
of priority:
11.4.1 First, 99% to the Limited Partners and Unitholders and
1% to the General Partners until each Limited Partner and
Unitholder has received an amount which, when added to all prior
Distributions of Cash From Sales or Refinancings, shall equal his
Original Invested Capital;
11.4.2 Second, 99% to the Limited Partners and Unitholders and
1% to the General Partners until each Limited Partner and
Unitholder has received an amount which, when added to all prior
Distributions to such Limited Partner or Unitholder (other than
pursuant to Section 11.4.1), will equal 8% per annum cumulative
noncompounded on his Adjusted Invested Capital, commencing the
Final Closing Date of the Partnership through the date of payment;
and
11.4.3 Third, 75% to the Limited Partners and Unitholders
and 25% to the General Partners of the remaining Cash From Sales or
Refinancings.
11.5 Distributions on Terminating Sales. In connection with
a Terminating Sale (or a liquidation of the Partnership), Cash From
Sales or Refinancing (and in the case of a liquidation, any
remaining working capital reserves) shall be allocated among, and
distributed to, the Partners in proportion to, and to the extent
of, their positive capital account balances after the Net Income or
Net Loss from any Sale or Disposition of Partnership Property has
been allocated in accordance with Paragraph 11.10 hereof. For
purposes of this Paragraph 11.5, a Terminating Sale is a Sale
defined under subparagraph 11.10.4(f). To the extent, if any, that
a Partner is entitled to receive a Distribution based upon a
positive capital account balance, such Distribution shall be
credited against the amount of Distributions which he otherwise
would have been entitled to receive had Distributions been made
pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 11.4 hereof (in the case of
nonterminating Sales or Dispositions) in the order of priority
described therein.
11.6 Restrictions. The Partnership may be restricted from
making Distributions under the terms of notes, mortgages or other
types of debt obligations which it may issue or assume in
conjunction with borrowed funds and Distributions may also be
restricted or suspended in circumstances if the General Partners
determine, in their absolute discretion, that such action is in the
best interests of the Partnership.
11.7 Unutilized Net Proceeds. In the event that any portion of
the Net Proceeds is not invested or committed for investment within
two years from the date of the original effective date of the
registration statement of which the Prospectus is part (except for
any amounts utilized to pay Partnership operating expenses,
including amounts set aside for reserves as set forth in Paragraph
3.2 of this Agreement), such portion of the Net Proceeds shall be
distributed to the Limited Partners and Unitholders by the
Partnership as a return of capital, except as otherwise provided by
law. For the purposes of this Paragraph 11.7, funds will be deemed
to have been committed to investment to the extent written
agreements in principle or letters of understanding were at any
time executed, regardless of whether any such investment is
consummated, and to the extent any funds have been reserved to make
contingent payments in connection with any Property, regardless of
whether any such payment is made. In addition, any Net Proceeds
distributed to Limited Partners and Unitholders pursuant to this
Paragraph 11.7 shall be subtracted from Gross Proceeds for purposes
of the provisions of Paragraph 15.10 of this Agreement.
11.8 General Partners' Interest. Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the General
Partners' interests in each material item of Partnership income,
gain, loss, deduction or credit be less than one percent of each
such item at all times during the existence of the Partnership.
11.9 Escheat. If, upon the termination and dissolution of the
Partnership, there remains outstanding on the books of the
Partnership a material amount of Distribution checks which have not
been negotiated for payment by Limited Partners and Unitholders,
then the General Partners may, if deemed to be in the best
interests of the Partnership and permitted by law, cause such
amounts to be redistributed pro rata to Limited Partners and
Unitholders in proportion to their percentage ownership interest in
the Partnership; provided, however, that the Partnership and not
the General Partners shall be liable for any subsequent claim for
payment of such redistributed Distributions. The General Partners
are not required to make such a redistribution in which case such
amounts may escheat to a state.
11.10 Allocation of Net Income From a Sale or Disposition.
Except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs 11.2(d), 11.8 and
11.10.3, Net Income arising from the occurrence of a Sale or
Disposition (other than in connection with a Terminating Sale as
described in Paragraph 11.10.4) shall be allocated as follows (such
Net Income shall be allocated, and capital account balances
determined, prior to making Distributions arising from such Sale or
Disposition):
11.10.1 first, such Net Income, up to an amount equal to the
Depreciation deductions previously allocated to Limited Partners,
Unitholders and the General Partners which deductions are
attributable to the Partnership Properties that are the subject of
the Sale or Disposition, shall be allocated to each such Limited
Partner, Unitholder and General Partner in the same ratio as the
amount of such depreciation previously allocated to such Limited
Partner, Unitholder and General Partner (less Net Income, if any,
in respect of such Sale or Disposition or gross income (other than
gross income which has previously been taken into account under
this Paragraph 11.10.1) allocated to each such Limited Partner,
Unitholder and General Partner pursuant to Paragraph 11.10.3) bears
to the aggregate of such Depreciation deductions so allocated to
all Limited Partners, Unitholders and General Partners (less Net
Income, if any, in respect of such Sale or Disposition or gross
income (other than gross income which has previously been taken
into account under this Paragraph 11.10.1) allocated to all such
Units pursuant to Paragraph 11.10.3).
11.10.2 second, the remainder of such Net Income, if any,
shall be allocated in the following order of priority:
(a) to the Partners and Unitholders to the extent of and in
proportion to the amount of Cash From Sales or Refinancings which
are to be distributed to each of them pursuant to Paragraph 11.4
(other than pursuant to Paragraph 11.4.1); and
(b) The remainder of such Net Income, if any, shall be
allocated to the Partners and Unitholders in proportion to the
amount of Cash From Sales or Refinancings which are to be
distributed to the Partners and Unitholders pursuant to Paragraph
11.4.1.
11.10.3 Capital Account Deficiency, Qualified Income Offset
and Minimum Gain Chargeback. This Paragraph 11.10.3 shall apply
only if at the close of any Partnership taxable year (a) the
negative capital account balance of any Partner or Unitholder
having a negative capital account balance (whether caused by
Distributions or by allocations of Depreciation, Net Loss, Book
Loss, Book Depreciation or items thereof) (a "Negative Balance")
exceeds (b) such Partner's or Unitholder's share of Minimum Gain
under Treas. Reg. (Section) 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv)(f), if any (the excess of
clause (a) over clause (b) hereinafter is referred to as a "Capital
Account Deficiency"). Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraphs
11.10.1 and 11.10.2 hereof, an amount of Net Income arising from a
Sale or Disposition of Partnership Property equal to the Capital
Account Deficiency shall first be allocated to each Partner having
a Negative Balance in the proportion in which such Partner's
Negative Balance bears to the aggregate Negative Balance of all
Partners and Unitholders ("Negative Balance Ratio"). In the event
that the foregoing allocation would be insufficient to eliminate
the Capital Account Deficiency, an amount of gross income (as
defined in Code Section 61) of the Partnership necessary to
eliminate the Capital Account Deficiency shall be allocated to each
Partner and Unitholder with a Negative Balance Ratio. Any
allocation under this Paragraph 11.10.3 shall, to the extent
possible, be made at a time no later than the time at which the
Capital Account Deficiency arises; provided, however, that in no
event shall there be a reallocation of any item of income, gain,
loss, or deduction among the Partners and Unitholders for prior
years pursuant to this Agreement;
11.1O.4 Termination Rules. In connection with a Terminating
Sale (defined in subparagraph 11.10.4(f)), Net Income shall be
allocated as follows:
(a) First, Net Income arising from a Terminating Sale up to an
amount equal to the sum of the negative capital account balances of
Partners and Unitholders having negative capital account balances,
shall first be allocated to Partners and Unitholders having
negative capital account balances pro rata in proportion to such
respective negative balances;
(b) then, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Unitholders
and Limited Partners until the capital account balance of each
Unitholder and Limited Partner (determined after making the
allocation described in Paragraph 11.10.4(a) but before
distributing the proceeds from such sale) shall equal his Adjusted
Invested Capital. In the event the Net Income to be allocated to
Limited Partners pursuant to this Paragraph 11.10.4(b) shall be
insufficient to bring the capital account balance of each
Unitholder and Limited Partner to whom such allocation is required
to said balance, then such Net Income shall be allocated first to
Unitholders and Limited Partners having the smallest capital
accounts per Unit so as to equalize, to the extent possible, the
capital accounts per Unit of all Unitholders and Limited Partners;
(c) then, 1% to the General Partners and 99% to the Limited
Partners and Unitholders until the capital account balance of each
Limited Partner and Unitholder (determined after making the
allocations described in subparagraphs 11.10.4(a) and (b) but
before distributing the proceeds from such sale) shall equal the
amount which would have been distributed to such Limited Partner or
Unitholder in respect of such Terminating Sale had the proceeds
from such sale been distributed pursuant to the provisions of
Paragraph 11.4.1;
(d) then, to the Partners or Unitholders until the capital
account balance of each Partner or Unitholder (determined after
making the allocations described in subparagraphs 11.10.4(a), (b)
and (c) but before distributing the proceeds from such sale) shall
equal the amount which would have been distributed to such Partner
or Unitholder in respect of such Terminating Sale had the proceeds
from such Terminating Sale been distributed pursuant to the
provisions of Paragraphs 11.4.1 and 11.4.2; and
(e) the remainder of such Net Income, if any, shall be
allocated 25% to the General Partners and 75% to the Limited
Partners and Unitholders. The portion of the Net Income under this
Paragraph 11.10.4(e) which is allocated to the Limited Partners and
Unitholders as a group shall, to the extent of any unpaid
cumulative noncompounded return of the Limited Partners and
Unitholders under Paragraph 11.4.1, first be allocated among the
Limited Partners and Unitholders in proportion to such unpaid
return due to each Limited Partner and Unitholder.
(f) A "Terminating Sale" shall mean the earlier to occur of
(i) the Sale or Disposition of the Partnership's last three
Properties commencing with the first such sale or (ii) the Sale or
Disposition of Partnership Properties with an aggregate acquisition
cost in excess of 66 2/3% of the aggregate cost of all Partnership
Properties. The Sale or Disposition of a Partnership Property, the
proceeds of which are reinvested in Partnership Property pursuant
to Paragraph 15.4.19 hereof, shall not be considered a sale for
purposes of determining whether a Terminating Sale has occurred.
11.10.5 Income Characterization. Such portion of the Net
Income allocated pursuant to Paragraph 11.10 which is treated as
ordinary income attributable to the recapture of depreciation
shall, to the extent possible, be allocated among the Unitholders
and Partners in the proportion which (i) the amount of depreciation
previously allocated to each Unitholder and Partner relating to the
Property which is the subject of the Sale or Disposition bears to
(ii) the total of such depreciation allocated to all Unitholders
and Partners. This Paragraph 11.10.5 shall not alter the amount of
allocations among the Unitholders and Partners pursuant to
Paragraph 11.10, but merely the character of gain so allocated. For
purposes of determining the amount of depreciation previously
allocated to a Unitholder and Limited Partner, the depreciation
previously allocated to any prior owner of such Unitholder's and
Limited Partner's Units shall be deemed to have been allocated to
such Unitholder and Limited Partner.
11.11 Capital Accounts. (a) A separate capital account shall
be maintained for each Partner and Unitholder. Each Partner's or
Unitholder's capital account shall be increased by (1) the amount
of money contributed by such Partner or Unitholder to the capital
of the Partnership; (2) such Partner's or Unitholder's share of
Partnership Net Income and any income or gain that is exempt from
federal income taxation; and (3) such Partner's or Unitholder's
share of the increase in the basis of the Partnership's property,
if any, arising out of the recapture of the investment tax credit.
Each Partner's or Unitholder's capital account shall be decreased
by (i) the amount of money distributed to such Partner by the
Partnership; (ii) such Partner's or Unitholder's share of Net Loss
or Depreciation for tax purposes; (iii) such Partner's or
Unitholder's share of the decrease in basis of the Partnership's
Property under Code Section 48(q) arising from the allowance of the
investment tax credit; and (iv) such Partner's or Unitholder's
share of expenditures of the Partnership which are neither
deductible nor proper chargeable to capital account under Code
Section 705(a)(2)(B) or are treated as such expenditures under
Treas. Reg. (SECTION) 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i).
(b) A Partner or Unitholder who has more than one interest in
the Partnership shall have a single capital account that reflects
all such interests, regardless of the class of interests owned by
such partner (e.g., general or limited) and regardless of the time
or manner in which such interests were acquired.
(c) In the event that property (other than cash) is
contributed (or deemed contributed pursuant to the provisions of
Code Section 708) by a Partner or Unitholder to the Partnership,
the computation of capital accounts, as set forth in this Paragraph
11.11, shall be adjusted as follows:
(i) the contributing Partner's or Unitholder's capital account
shall be increased by the fair market value of the property
contributed to the Partnership by such Partner or Unitholder (net
of liabilities secured by such contributed property that the
Partnership is considered to assume or take subject to under Code
Section 752); and
(ii) as required by Treas. Reg. (Section) 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) and
1.704-1(b)(4)(i), if any Partner's or Unitholder's capital account
reflects a fair market value for property which differs from such
property's adjusted basis, each Partner's or Unitholder's capital
account shall be adjusted to take account of the amount of Book
Gain, Book Loss (other than Book Loss attributable to expenditures
of the Partnership described in Paragraph 11.11(a)(iv)) and Book
Depreciation allocated to such Partner or Unitholder pursuant to
Paragraph 11.2(c) hereof and shall not take into account the Net
Income, Net Loss and depreciation for tax purposes allocated to
such Partner or Unitholder pursuant to this Article 11.
(d) In the event that property is distributed (or deemed
distributed pursuant to the provisions of Code Section 708) by the
Partnership to a Partner or Unitholder the following special rules
shall apply:
(i) the capital accounts of the Partners and Unitholders shall
be adjusted (as provided in Treas. Reg. (Section) 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e)) to
reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss and
deduction inherent in such property (that has not already been
reflected in the Partners' and Unitholders' capital accounts) would
be allocated to the Partners and Unitholders if there were a
taxable disposition of such property for its fair market value on
the date of distribution; and
(ii) the capital account of the Partner or Unitholder who is
receiving the distribution of property from the Partnership shall
be charged with the fair market value of the property at the time
of distribution (net of liabilities secured by such property that
such Partner or Unitholder is considered to assume or take subject
to under Code Section 752).
(e) The foregoing provisions are intended to satisfy the
capital account maintenance requirements of Treas. Reg. (Section)
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and such provisions shall be modified to the extent
required by such Section or any successor provision thereto.
12. ASSIGNMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS TO UNITHOLDERS;
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
12.1 Issuance of Depositary Receipts. Simultaneously with
each Closing, the Assignor Limited Partner shall contribute to the
Partnership the proceeds of the sale of Units, on behalf of the
purchasers of Units, and shall receive from the General Partners a
Certificate of Limited Partnership Interest evidencing one Limited
Partnership Interest for each Unit sold. The Assignor Limited
Partner thereupon shall hold on deposit or arrange to have held on
deposit such Certificates of Limited Partnership Interest (together
with a list containing the name, address and number of Units
purchased by each Unitholder, which list shall be available for
inspection by any Unitholder on written request) and shall, at the
request of Unitholders, issue to the order of the respective
Unitholders Depositary Receipts registered in the name of such
Unitholder (or their nominees) in respect of the Certificates of
Limited Partnership Interest held on deposit. In connection with
such deposit, the Assignor Limited Partner shall execute an
assignment of the Limited Partnership Interests to the Unitholders
in proportion to the number of Units purchased by each Unitholder,
whereupon the Unitholders shall be recognized by the Partnership as
assignees of such Limited Partnership Interests. By tendering
payment for Units, and upon receipt and acceptance of a
confirmation, a Unitholder shall be deemed to have assented to all
the terms and conditions of this Partnership Agreement.
12.2 Assignment by Assignor Limited Partner. The Assignor
Limited Partner, by the execution of this Agreement, irrevocably
transfers and assigns to the Unitholders substantially all of the
Assignor Limited Partner's rights and interest in and to the
Limited Partnership Interests, said transfer and assignment to be
deemed to have occurred as of the time of release to the
Partnership of the payments for the Units related to such assigned
Limited Partnership Interests. The rights and interest so
transferred and assigned shall include, without limitation, the
following:
12.2.1 all rights to receive Distributions and allocations in
respect of Limited Partnership Interests;
12.2.2 all rights to receive any proceeds of liquidation of
the Partnership;
12.2.3 all rights to inspect books and records and to receive
reports;
12.2.4 the right to instruct the Assignor Limited Partner with
respect to the voting of the assigned Limited Partnership Interests
related to the Units (the Assignor Limited Partner having no right
to vote with respect to any Unit or assigned Limited Partnership
Interest without instructions from the record owners of the
applicable Units) and the right to call meetings; and
12.2.5 all rights attendant to the Limited Partnership
Interests, other than record ownership and the right to vote
directly upon matters submitted to Limited Partners for a vote,
which Limited Partners have to the extent they may be assigned
under this Partnership Agreement and under the Partnership Act.
12.3 Consent to Assignment. The General Partners, by the
execution of this Agreement, irrevocably consent to the foregoing
transfer and assignment by the Assignor Limited Partner to the
Unitholders of the Assignor Limited Partner's rights and interest
in the assigned Limited Partnership Interests as described above,
and acknowledge that (i) each such transfer and assignment is
effective and (ii) the Unitholders are intended to be and shall be
treated as third party beneficiaries of the assigned rights and
privileges of the Assignor Limited Partner in respect of the
assigned Limited Partnership Interests. The General Partners
covenant and agree that, in accordance with such transfer and
assignment, all the Assignor Limited Partner's rights and
privileges in respect of assigned Limited Partnership Interests may
be exercised by the Unitholders.
12.4 No Liability of Assignor Limited Partner. The Assignor
Limited Partner shall not be liable to any Unitholder for any
action taken or nonaction by it in good faith reliance upon advise,
written notice, request or direction from a Unitholder believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
person(s).
12.5 Rights and Liabilities of Unitholders. In accordance with
the foregoing transfer and assignment described in Paragraph 12.2,
it is the intention of the parties hereto that Unitholders shall
have the same rights and obligations that Limited Partners have
under this Partnership Agreement and under the Partnership Act.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Limited Partners
(other than the Assignor Limited Partner) and Unitholders shall
share pari passu on the basis of one Limited Partnership Interest
for one Unit, and shall be considered as a single class, with
respect to all rights to receive Distributions and allocations
pursuant to this Partnership Agreement.
12.6 Voting. As provided in Paragraph 16.4.2, Limited Partners
(other than the Assignor Limited Partner) and Unitholders shall
vote on all matters in respect of which they are entitled to vote
(either in person, by proxy, or by written consent), as a single
class, with each Limited Partnership Interest and each Unit
entitled to one vote; provided, however, that the Assignor Limited
Partner shall vote on behalf of and only as directed by the
Unitholders and that a General Partner shall not be entitled to
vote unless he or it owns Units or Limited Partnership Interests.
12.7 Canvassing Unitholders. The Assignor Limited Partner, in
compliance with the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission set forth in Regulation 14A if and to the extent such
proxy rules are applicable, shall canvass the preferences of all
Unitholders on all matters to be voted on by the Limited Partners
(including the Assignor Limited Partner on behalf of the
Unitholders). Each General Partner shall have the right to assist
in the preparation of and/or review any documents to be utilized by
the Assignor Limited Partner in canvassing the Unitholders (or
their nominees).
12.8 Capital Accounts. The Assignor Limited Partner shall
direct the Partnership to maintain records showing capital accounts
on behalf of the Unitholders in respect of their Original Invested
Capital which shall reflect Net Income, Net Loss, Depreciation and
Distributions attributable to their assigned Limited Partnership
Interests.
12.9 Allocations. The portion of Net Income, Net Loss and
Distributions which shall be credited to the account of the
Assignor Limited Partner for the benefit of Unitholders shall be
allocated and apportioned among the Unitholders in the same manner
as Net Income, Net Loss and Distributions are allocated and
apportioned among the Limited Partners with respect to the assigned
Limited Partnership Interests in Article 11 of this Partnership
Agreement. The portion of Depreciation which shall be credited to
the account of the Assignor Limited Partner for the benefit of
Unitholders shall be allocated and apportioned among the
Unitholders as follows: (i) all of the 19-year Depreciation (or the
shortest period prescribed by law) of the Partnership shall be
allocated to the Unitholders holding Class A Units; and (ii) all of
the 40-year Depreciation (or the shortest period prescribed by law)
of the Partnership shall be allocated to the Unitholders holding
Class B/TE Units.
12.10 Conversion of Units into Limited Partnership Interests.
Any Unitholder who desires to convert all his Units into Limited
Partnership Interests may do so following the Final Closing Date by
(a) delivering to the Assignor Limited Partner endorsed Depositary
Receipts, executed subscription agreements and transfer
applications (which are available upon request from the General
Partners) for such number of Units as are actually owned by such
Unitholder, (b) fulfilling the requirements of Paragraph 13.4 for
the admission of substitute Limited Partners and (c) paying a fee
equal to the greater of (i) $150 ($30 for Individual Retirement
Accounts), or (ii) the actual cost to the Partnership to complete
such transfer, such costs to include, without limitation, legal and
administrative costs and recording fees. Unitholders surrendering
Depositary Receipts to become Limited Partners must surrender all
of their Units and will be admitted to the Partnership four times
a year, on or as promptly as possible after the commencement of the
next calendar quarter of the Partnership. Persons who effect such
conversion will receive one Limited Partnership Interest for each
Unit they convert and will not be able to re-exchange their Limited
Partnership Interests for Units. The capital account of the
Assignor Limited Partner shall be reduced by an amount equal to the
capital account of such former Unitholder's new capital account as
a substitute Limited Partner. Units which have been converted into
Limited Partnership Interests will be cancelled and will not be
reissued.
12.11 Transferability of Units. Units evidenced by Depositary
Receipts shall be issued in registered form and shall be freely
transferable 15 days after the Final Closing Date (unless the
General Partners permit earlier transfers) unless otherwise
restricted under applicable federal or state securities laws or
unless the General Partners impose transfer restrictions pursuant
to Paragraph 15.2.20; provided, however, that Class A Units may be
acquired by or transferred to taxable investors only, and Class
B/TE Units may be acquired by or transferred to tax-exempt
investors only. The transferee of a Unit shall not be recognized as
an assignee of Limited Partnership Interests until the first day of
the calendar month following such transfer; provided, however that
if either or both classes of Units are listed on an exchange or
quoted on NASDAQ, such Transfer will be effective on the day such
transfer is accepted and recorded by the transfer agent of the
Partnership in respect of the Units. Any attempted sale,
assignment, transfer or exchange in contravention of the provisions
of this Article 12 shall, unless otherwise determined by the
General Partners in their sole discretion, be void and deemed
ineffectual and shall not bind or be recognized by the Partnership.
13. TRANSFERABILITY OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS
13.1 Restrictions on Transfers of Limited Partnership
Interests by Limited Partners Other Than the Assignor Limited
Partners. A Limited Partner (other than the Assignor Limited
Partner on behalf of the Unitholders) may only assign his Limited
Partnership Interests by a duly executed, written instrument of
assignment, the terms of which are not in contravention of any of
the provisions of this Agreement. Within 30 days after any proposed
assignment of Limited Partnership Interests which occurs without a
transfer of record ownership of such Limited Partnership Interests,
the assignor shall give notice of such proposed assignment to the
General Partners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Limited Partner
(other than the Assignor Limited Partner on behalf of the
Unitholders) may sell, assign, transfer or exchange any Limited
Partnership Interests:
13.1.1 if such sale, assignment, transfer or exchange may
result, when considered in the aggregate with all other sales,
assignments, transfers and exchanges of Limited Partnership
Interests which are effective within the previous 12 months, in the
Partnership being considered to have been terminated within the
meaning of Section 708 of the Code;
13.1.2 if such sale, assignment, transfer or exchange would be
in violation of any applicable federal or state securities law
(including any investor suitability standard); or
13.1.3 except for transfers by gift or inheritance,
intra-family transfers, transfers resulting from family
dissolutions, transfers to Affiliates or transfers of such
transferor's entire holdings of Limited Partnership Interests, if
the transferor or the transferee would hold Limited Partnership
Interests representing Original Invested Capital of less than
$10,000 ($2,000 for transfers by or to IRAs or Xxxxx Plans).
13.2 Void Transfers. Any attempted sale, assignment, transfer
or exchange in contravention of the provisions of this Article 13
shall, unless otherwise determined by the General Partners in their
sole discretion, be void and deemed ineffectual and shall not bind
or be recognized by the Partnership.
13.3 Effective Date. An assignment of Limited Partnership
Interests shall be effective, and an assignee of Limited
Partnership Interests shall be entitled to receive allocations of
Net Income, Net Loss and deductions, and Distributions in respect
of such allocations attributable to the Limited Partnership
Interests acquired by reason of such assignment, only from and
after the "effective date" of the assignment of such Limited
Partnership Interests to him; provided, however, anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, that the Partnership and the General
Partners shall be entitled to treat the assignor of such Limited
Partnership Interests as the absolute owner thereof in all
respects, and shall incur no liability for any allocation of Net
Income, Net Loss or deduction, Distribution, or transmittal of
reports or notice required to be given to Limited Partners
hereunder which is made in good faith to such assignor until such
time as the written instrument of assignment has been received by
the Partnership and recorded on its books and the "effective date"
of the assignment has passed. The "effective date" of any such
assignment of Limited Partnership Interests, for any and all
purposes, shall be the first day of the calendar month beginning
after the later to occur of (a) the date set forth on the written
instrument of assignment or (b) the date on which the Partnership
has received written notice of the assignment of the Limited
Partnership Interests.
13.4 Substitute Limited Partners. No person shall have the
right to become a substitute Limited Partner in place of his
assignor unless all of the following conditions are first
satisfied:
13.4.1 a duly executed and acknowledged written instrument of
assignment covering Limited Partnership Interests representing
Original Invested Capital of at least $10,000 ($2,000 in the case
of IRAs or Xxxxx Plans) shall have been filed with the Partnership
and recorded on its books, which instrument shall specify the
Limited Partnership Interests being assigned and set forth the
intention of the assignor that the assignee succeed to the
assignor's interest as a substitute Limited Partner in his place;
13.4.2 the Limited Partner and his assignee shall have
executed and acknowledged such other instruments as the General
Partners may deem necessary or desirable to effect such
substitution, including the written acceptance and adoption by the
assignee of the provisions of this Agreement, as the same may be
amended, and his execution, acknowledgement and delivery to the
General Partners of a special power of attorney, the form and
content of which are described herein; and
13.4.3 a transfer fee equal to the greater of (a) $150, or (b)
the actual cost to the Partnership to complete such transfer, to
cover all reasonable expenses connected with such substitution
shall have been paid to the Partnership.
13.5 Consent. By executing and/or adopting this Agreement,
each Limited Partner, including the Assignor Limited Partner on
behalf of the Unitholders, consents to the admission of substitute
Limited Partners by the General Partners in accordance with the
foregoing.
13.6 Records. The General Partners shall cause this Agreement
and, if required by the Partnership Act or any other applicable
law, any separate certificate of limited partnership to be amended
to reflect the admission and/or substitution of substitute Limited
Partners at least once in each calendar month, but not later than
30 days after the effective date of the substitution.

hereto or restatement hereof, the certificate of limited
partnership and any amendment thereto or restatement thereof, or a

pay any necessary duplication fee. Each appraisal of Partnership
Property shall be maintained by the General Partners and available
for inspection and examination by any Limited Partner or his duly
authorized representative at all reasonable times for the term of
the Partnership following the date of acquisition of the Property
that is the subject of such appraisal (but for not less than five
years).
14.2 Annual Reports. The General Partners shall have prepared
at least annually (a) financial statements (balance sheet,
statement of income or loss, partners' equity and changes in
financial position) prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and accompanied by a report thereon
containing an opinion of an independent certified public accounting
firm; (b) a statement of cash flow; (c) Partnership information
necessary in the preparation of the Limited Partners' and

of such costs to the Partnership. The method of verification shall
be in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and
shall include such tests of the accounting records and such other
auditing procedures which the independent certified public
accountants consider appropriate in the circumstances. Copies of
the annual report shall be distributed to each Limited Partner and
Unitholder within 120 days after the close of each taxable year of
the Partnership; provided, however, that all Partnership

and Unitholders' federal income tax returns shall be distributed to
each Limited Partner and Unitholder not later than 75 days
subsequent to December 31 of each year.
14.3 Quarterly Report. The General Partners shall prepare,
commencing with the first fiscal quarter in which the effective
date of the registration statement of which the Prospectus is a
part occurs, quarterly reports covering each of the first three
quarterly fiscal year periods of Partnership operations in each
fiscal year, unaudited financial statements (balance sheet,
statement of income or loss for such quarterly period and statement
of Adjusted Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From
Operations for such quarterly period), a statement as to the
compensation received by the General Partners and their Affiliates

pertinent information shall be distributed to each Limited Partner
and Unitholder within 60 days after the close of the quarterly

Limited Partners and Unitholders subject to annual reporting
requirements under ERISA to file such annual reports as they relate
to an investment in the Partnership), within 120 days after the end
of each taxable year, furnish each Limited Partner and Unitholder
with an annual statement of value. Such annual statement shall,
during the period between the end of each taxable year and 120 days
thereafter, be available upon request of Limited Partners and
Unitholders. Such annual statement shall report the value of each
Unit (and the underlying Limited Partnership Interest) based upon
the General Partners' estimate of the amount a holder thereof would
receive if Partnership Properties were sold as of the close of the
Partnership's fiscal year and if the proceeds therefrom (without
reduction for selling expenses), together with any other funds of
the Partnership, were distributed in a liquidation of the
Partnership pursuant to this Agreement.

filed with such entities under then current applicable laws, rules,
and regulations; provided, however, that the General Partners shall
only be required to use their best efforts to file reports with
local authorities on a timely basis. Such reports shall be prepared
on the accounting or reporting basis required by such regulatory
bodies. Any Limited Partner or Unitholder shall be provided with a
copy of any such report, upon request in writing, without expense
to him.
14.8 Suitability Records. The General Partners shall maintain
for a period of at least four years a record of the information

15.2.15 to allow the Partnership to borrow money from
Affiliates of the General Partners on a short-term basis, at any
time and from time to time including, but not limited to, prior to
the Final Closing Date, and in connection therewith to pay interest
and other financing charges or fees which would be charged by a
third party financing institution on comparable loans for the same
purpose in the same geographic area; provided, however, that no
prepayment charge or penalty shall be required by the General
Partners or their Affiliates on any such loan to the Partnership

order in which they were acquired by the Partnership with the most
recently acquired Property being sold first. The sales price will
be an amount equal to the Partnership's purchase price for the
Property plus the amount of all the carrying costs, including
principal and interest, incurred by the Partnership during the

Partnership, to list the Units on a securities exchange or the

action taken pursuant to the preceding sentence, including, without
limitation, to change from monthly to a shorter or longer period
the dates upon which transfers of Units will be recognized;

necessary in order to preserve the tax status of the Partnership as
a pass-through entity for federal income tax purposes, including,
without limitation, imposing restrictions on transfers of Limited
Partnership Interests or Units (provided such restrictions on
transfers do not cause the Partnership's assets to be deemed to be
"plan assets" with respect to investors which are Qualified Plans).
The General Partners shall take steps pursuant to this Paragraph
15.2.20 only if they determine, in good faith, that such steps are
in the best interests of the Limited Partners and Unitholders;
15.2.21 in addition to any amendment otherwise authorized
herein, to amend this Agreement from time to time,
(a) to add to the representations, duties or obligations of
the General Partners or their Affiliates or surrender any right or
power granted to the General Partners or their Affiliates herein,
for the benefit of the Limited Partners and Unitholders, except to
the extent required by law;
(b) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provision herein which may be inconsistent with law or with any
other provision herein, or to make any other provision with respect
to matters or questions arising under this Agreement which will not

provided that in the opinion of the accountants or counsel to the
Partnership, such amended provisions are permissible under
applicable Federal and/or state income tax legislation, rules or
regulations enacted or promulgated thereunder, or administrative
pronouncements or interpretations thereof; and (B) to the minimum
extent necessary to take account of any amendments to Section 704
of the Code or the regulations thereunder or any judicial or
administrative interpretations thereof; (ii) to take such steps as
the General Partners determine are advisable or necessary in order
to preserve the tax status of the Partnership as a pass-through
entity for federal income tax purposes, including, without
limitation, converting to a different form of pass-through entity;
and/or (iii) in the event that either (A) the assets of the
Partnership would constitute "plan assets" for purposes of ERISA or
(B) the transactions contemplated hereunder would constitute
"prohibited transactions" under ERISA or the Code and an exemption
for such transactions is not obtainable, or not sought by the
General Partners, from the United States Department of Labor, to
(I) restructure the Partnership's activities to the extent
necessary to comply with any exemption in any final plan asset
regulation adopted by the Department of Labor or to comply with any
requirement the Department of Labor might impose as a condition to
granting a prohibited transaction exemption, including, but not
limited to, discontinuing sales to tax-exempt investors after a
given date and/or restructuring the property management activities
of the Partnership, and/or (II) terminate the offering of Units or
to compel a dissolution and termination of the Partnership. The
General Partners are empowered to amend such provisions to the
minimum extent they believe necessary in accordance with the advice
of accountants and/or counsel to comply with any applicable federal
or state legislation, rules, regulations, administrative
pronouncements or interpretations and/or judicial interpretations
thereof after the date of this Partnership Agreement. Such
amendment(s) made by the General Partners in reliance upon the
advice of competent accountants or counsel described above shall be
deemed to be made pursuant to the fiduciary obligation of the
General Partners to the Partnership and Limited Partners or
Unitholders, and no such amendment shall give rise to any claim or
cause of action by any Limited Partner or Unitholder; and
15.2.22 to execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all
instruments to effectuate the foregoing, and to take all action in
connection therewith as the General Partners shall deem necessary

Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the parent of the Corporate
General Partner from merging, reorganizing, consolidating,
transferring its capital stock or otherwise causing a transfer or
change of control. Each General Partner's interest in the
Partnership as a General Partner shall not be assignable, except as
described in this Paragraph 17.5, without a Majority Vote. Any
entity to which the entire interest of each General Partner in the
Partnership is assigned in compliance with this Paragraph 17.5
shall be substituted by the General Partners by the filing of
appropriate amendments to this Agreement and any separate
certificate of limited partnership in its stead as a General
Partner of the Partnership. The foregoing notwithstanding, the
General Partners may at any time assign their respective right to
receive the Partnership Management Fee or Subordinated Incentive
Fee without the consent of any other Partner, although any such
assignment shall not relieve the General Partners of their
obligation to render services for which such fees are payable.
17.6 Additional General Partners. One or more additional
General Partners may be admitted to the Partnership by agreement of
both General Partners, from time to time, in the discretion of the
General Partners; however, successor General Partners may be
elected only pursuant to, and as described in, the provisions of
Paragraphs 16.2.2 and 19.1.1 of this Partnership Agreement. In such
event, the aggregate interest of the General Partners in
Partnership Net Income, Net Loss and Distributions shall be
apportioned among the General Partners in such manner as the
General Partners shall agree.
18. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
The General Partners, any Limited Partner or Unitholder, any
Affiliate, any shareholder, officer, director, partner or employee
thereof, or any person owning a legal or beneficial interest
therein, may engage in or possess an interest in any other business
or venture of every nature and description, independently or with
others including, but not limited to, the ownership, financing,
leasing, operation, management, brokerage and development of real
property. Except as described in the Prospectus, neither the
General Partners nor their Affiliates shall be obligated to present
to the Partnership any particular investment opportunity, even if
such opportunity is of such character that the Partnership could
take it if such opportunity were presented to the Partnership, and
each General Partner and Affiliate shall have the right to take for
its own account (individually or otherwise) or to recommend to
others any such investment opportunity.
19. TERMINATION AND DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP
19.1 Terminating Events. The Partnership shall be terminated
and dissolved upon the earliest to occur of the following:
19.1.1 the withdrawal, removal, adjudication of bankruptcy or
insolvency of a General Partner, dissolution or other cessation to
exist as a legal entity of a corporate General Partner, or the
death of an individual General Partner unless (i) the remaining
General Partner(s), within 90 days of the date of such event,
elects to continue the business of the Partnership, or (ii) if
there is no remaining General Partner, the Limited Partners and
Unitholders by Majority Vote, within 90 days of the date of such
event, elect to continue the business of the Partnership, in a
reconstituted form if necessary, and elect a successor General
Partner (expenses incurred in reformation, or attempted
reformation, of the Partnership shall be deemed expenses of the
Partnership);
19.1.2 a Majority Vote in favor of dissolution and termination
of the Partnership;
19.1.3 the expiration of the term of the Partnership;
19.1.4 the Sale or Disposition of all interests in Properties
and other assets of the Partnership and the receipt of the final
cash payment of the purchase price of all such Properties and
assets; or
19.1.5 the election by the General Partners to dissolve and
terminate the Partnership (after consulting with Partnership
counsel), without the consent of any Limited Partner or Unitholder,
in the event that either (i) the Partnership's assets constitute
"plan assets," as such term is defined for purposes of ERISA, or
(ii) any of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement
constitutes a "prohibited transaction" under ERISA and no exemption
for such transaction is obtainable from the United States
Department of Labor or the General Partners determine not to seek
such an exemption.
19.2 Liquidation and Distribution of Assets. Upon a
dissolution and termination of the Partnership for any reason, the
General Partners shall take full account of the Partnership's
assets and liabilities, shall liquidate the assets as promptly as
is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and shall
apply and distribute the proceeds therefrom in the following order:
19.2.1 first, to the payment of third-party creditors of the
Partnership, but excluding secured creditors whose obligations will
be assumed or otherwise transferred on the liquidation of
Partnership assets;
19.2.2 second, to the repayment of any outstanding loan made
by the General Partners to the Partnership in accordance with
Article 15; and
19.2.3 third, to the General Partners and Limited Partners,
including the Assignor Limited Partner on behalf of the
Unitholders, pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 11.5 of this
Partnership Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the General Partners
have the right to defer liquidation if, in the opinion of the
General Partners, the sale of Partnership assets in liquidation
would result in a material under realization on the Partnership's
assets.
20. SPECIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY
20.1 Grant of Power of Attorney. By executing and/or adopting
this Partnership Agreement, each Limited Partner (including the
Assignor Limited Partner on behalf of the Unitholders who by
purchase of the Units and acceptance of the confirmation of such
purchase have authorized the Assignor Limited Partner to act on
their behalf) is hereby granting to each of the General Partners,
with full power of substitution, a special power of attorney
irrevocably making, constituting and appointing each General
Partner as the attorney-in-fact for such Limited Partner, with
power and authority to act in his name and on his behalf to
execute, acknowledge and swear to in the execution, acknowledgement
and filing of documents, which shall include, by way of
illustration but not of limitation, the following:
20.1.1 this Agreement, any separate certificate of limited
partnership, as well as any amendment to or restatement of the
foregoing which, under the laws of the State of Delaware or the
laws of any other state, are required to be filed or which the
General Partners deem to be advisable to file;
20.1.2 any other instrument or document which may be required
to be filed by the Partnership under the laws of any state or by
any governmental agency or which the General Partners deem
advisable to file; and
20.1.3 any instrument or document which may be required to
effect the continuation of the Partnership for a period not in
excess of the term set forth in Article 4, the admission of any
additional or substituted Limited Partner or the dissolution and
termination of the Partnership (provided such continuation,
admission or dissolution and termination are in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement), or to reflect any reduction in amount of
contributions of Partners.
20.2 Character of Power of Attorney. The special power of
attorney being hereby granted by each Limited Partner (including
the Assignor Limited Partner on behalf of the Unitholders who by
purchase of the Units have authorized the Assignor Limited Partner
to act on their behalf):
20.2.1 is a special power of attorney coupled with an
interest, is irrevocable, shall survive the death or legal
incapacity of the granting Limited Partner, and is limited to those
matters herein set forth;
20.2.2 may be exercised by either General Partner acting alone
for each Limited Partner by a facsimile signature of the General
Partner or by one of its officers, or by listing all of the Limited
Partners executing any instrument with a signature of the General
Partner or one of its officers acting as its attorney-in-fact; and
20.2.3 shall survive an assignment by a Limited Partner of all
or any portion of his Limited Partnership Interests (including the
assignment of Limited Partnership Interests by the Assignor Limited
Partner to the Unitholders) except that, where the assignee of the
Limited Partnership Interests owned by a Limited Partner has been
approved by either General Partner for admission to the Partnership
as a substituted Limited Partner, the special power of attorney
shall survive assignment for the sole purpose of enabling either
General Partner to execute, acknowledge and file any instrument or
document necessary to effect such substitution.
21. INDEMNIFICATION
21.1 Agreement to Indemnify. To the maximum extent permitted
by law, the Partnership, its receiver or its trustee, shall
indemnify, save harmless and pay all judgments and claims against
the Sponsor and the Assignor Limited Partner from any liability,
loss or damage incurred by them or by the Partnership by reason of
any act performed or omitted to be performed by them in connection
with the business of the Partnership, including costs and
attorneys' fees (which attorneys' fees may be paid as incurred) and
any amount expended in the settlement of any claim of liability,
loss or damage; provided that (i) if such liability, loss or claim
arises out of any action or inaction of the Assignor Limited
Partner, the Assignor Limited Partner was not guilty of fraud,
negligence or misconduct; (ii) if such liability, loss, or claim
arises out of any action or inaction of employees, subsidiaries or
affiliated assigns of the Sponsor or the Assignor Limited Partner,
such actions or inactions must have occurred while such parties
were engaged in activities which could have been engaged in by a
General Partner in its capacity as such; (iii) if such liability,
loss or damage arises out of any action or inaction of the General
Partners, it did not constitute negligence or misconduct by the
General Partners and all of the General Partners must have
determined, in good faith, that such course of conduct was in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership; and (iv) any
such indemnification shall be recoverable only from the assets of
the Partnership and not from the assets of the Limited Partners or
Unitholders. All judgments against the Partnership and the Sponsor
or Assignor Limited Partner, wherein such person is entitled to
indemnification, must first be satisfied from Partnership assets
before such General Partner is responsible for these obligations.
Nothing contained herein shall constitute a waiver by any Limited
Partner or Unitholder of any right which he may have against any
party under federal or state securities laws.
21.2 Limitations. Notwithstanding Paragraph 21.1, neither the
Sponsor nor the Assignor Limited Partner shall be indemnified
pursuant to Paragraph 21.1 from any liability, loss or damage
incurred by them in connection with (i) any claim or settlement
involving allegations that the Securities Act of 1933 or state
securities laws were violated by the Sponsor or the Assignor
Limited Partner unless: (a) the Sponsor and/or the Assignor Limited
Partner seeking indemnification is successful in defending such
action; and (b) such indemnification is specifically approved by a
court of competent jurisdiction which shall have been advised as to
the current position of the Securities and Exchange Commission and,
if Units are offered and/or sold in California, the California
Commissioner of Corporations regarding indemnification for
violations of securities law, or (ii) any liability imposed by law,
including liability for negligence or misconduct.
22. MISCELLANEOUS
22.1 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts and all so executed shall constitute one Partnership
Agreement, binding on all of the parties hereto, notwithstanding
that all of the parties are not signatory to the original or the
same counterpart.
22.2 Binding Provisions. The terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of
the successors and assigns of the respective Partners and
Unitholders.
22.3 Severability. In the event any sentence or paragraph of
this Agreement is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be void, such sentence or paragraph shall be deemed severed from
the remainder of this Agreement and the balance of this Agreement
shall remain in effect.
22.4 Notice. All notices under this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be given to the person entitled thereto, by
personal service or by mail, posted to the address maintained by
the Partnership for such person or at such other address as he may
specify in writing.
22.5 Headings. Paragraph titles or captions contained in this
Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for
reference and in no way define, limit, extend or describe the scope
of this Agreement nor the intent of any provision hereof.
22.6 Meanings. Whenever required by the context hereof, the
singular shall include the plural, and vice-versa; the masculine
gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders, and
vice-versa; and the word "person" shall include a corporation,
partnership, firm or other form of association.
22.7 List of Partners. The names, business or residence
addresses and capital contributions of the Partners are set forth
on Exhibit I attached hereto, which exhibit shall be maintained at
the principal place of business of the Partnership.
22.8 Governing Law. Notwithstanding the place where this
Partnership Agreement may be executed by any of the parties hereto,
the parties expressly agree that all the terms and provisions
hereof shall be construed under the internal laws, and not the laws
pertaining to conflicts or choice of law, of the State of Delaware
and that the Partnership Act as now adopted and as hereafter
amended shall govern the partnership aspects of this Partnership
Agreement.
22.9 Other Jurisdiction. In the event the business of the
Partnership is carried on or conducted in states in addition to the
State of Delaware, then the parties agree that the Partnership
shall be qualified under the laws of each state in which business
is actually conducted by the Partnership, and they severally agree
to execute such other and further documents as may be required or
requested in order that the General Partners legally may qualify
the Partnership in such states. The power of attorney granted to
each General Partner by each Limited Partner (including the
Assignor Limited Partner on behalf of the Unitholders) in Article
20 shall constitute the authority of the General Partners to
perform the ministerial duty of qualifying the Partnership under
the laws of any state in which it is necessary to file documents or
instruments of qualification. A Partnership office or principal
place of business in any state may be designated from time to time
by the General Partners.
22.10 Power to Reconstitute. In the event that the State of
Delaware amends the Partnership Act in any manner which precludes
the Partnership, at any time, from obtaining an opinion of tax
counsel to the effect that the Partnership will be treated as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes and not as an
association taxable as a corporation, then the General Partners
may, in their sole discretion, reconstitute the Partnership under
the laws of another state.
