than a DE MINIMUS amount of property as consideration for an equity interest in
such group member; and (g) the liquidation of any member of the Xxxxxxx Group;
provided, however, that (x) adjustments pursuant to clauses (b) - (g) above
shall be made only if the General Partner reasonably determines that such
adjustments are necessary or appropriate to maintain Capital Accounts and
provide for allocations of Profits and Losses that reflect the relative
economic interests of the Partners in the Partnership and (y) the hypothetical
liquidation required under Section 7.1 of this Agreement for purposes of
allocating Profits and Losses shall not be treated as a liquidation of the
Partnership or any other Xxxxxxx Group member for purposes of the foregoing
provisions of this clause (ii).
(iii) The Gross Asset Value of (a) any Partnership
asset distributed to any Partner or (b) any asset of another member of the
Xxxxxxx Group distributed to a shareholder, partner or other equity owner of
such Xxxxxxx Group member shall be adjusted to equal the gross fair market
value of such asset, taking Section 7701(g) of the Code into account, on the
date of distribution as determined by the General Partner; and
(iv) The Gross Asset Values of Partnership assets shall be
increased (or decreased) to reflect any adjustments to the adjusted basis of
such assets pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b), but only to
the extent that such adjustments are taken into account in determining Capital
Accounts pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) and paragraph
(vi) of the definition of Profits and Losses; provided, however, that Gross
Asset Values shall not be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph (iv) to the
extent the General Partner determines that an adjustment pursuant to paragraph
(ii) above is
6
12
necessary or appropriate in connection with a transaction that would otherwise
result in an adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (iv).
If the Gross Asset Value of an asset has been determined or adjusted
pursuant to paragraphs (i), (ii) or (iv) above, such Gross Asset Value shall
thereafter be adjusted by the Depreciation taken into account with respect to

3. Capital.
--------
3.1 ISSUANCE OF UNITS.
A. The interest of a Partner in the Partnership is sometimes
referred to as being evidenced by one or more "Units." Under the Prior
Agreement, each Partner was issued, and continues to own until the date of this
Agreement, the number of Units set forth opposite its name on EXHIBIT B.
Effective upon the consummation of the Merger, each Partner agrees to exchange
the number of Units set forth opposite its name on EXHIBIT B for the number of
Units set forth opposite its name on EXHIBIT C. The aggregate total of all
Units outstanding as of the date of this Agreement, and the names of the
Partners holding such Units (including the number of Units owned by each such
Partner) are set forth on EXHIBIT C.
B. From time to time, the General Partner, subject to the
provisions of this Section 3.1.B and Section 3.1.E, may cause the Partnership
to issue additional Units to existing or newly-admitted Partners (including
itself) in exchange for the contribution by a
11
17
Partner (the "Contributing Partner") of additional Capital Contributions to the
Partnership. The number of Units issued to a Contributing Partner that is a
member of the Xxxxxxx Group under this Section 3.1.B shall be equal to the
quotient (rounded to the nearest whole number) arrived at by dividing (i) the
amount of money or the initial Gross Asset Value of the property contributed as
additional Capital Contributions (net of other liabilities to which such
property is subject or assumed by the Partnership in connection with such
contribution but increased to reflect any expenses attributable to such
contribution) by (ii) the product of (a) the Current Per Share Market Price of
the Common Stock and (b) the Conversion Factor. The number of Units issued to
a Contributing Partner that is not a member of the Xxxxxxx Group under this
Section 3.1.B shall be determined by the General Partner, in its sole
discretion.
C. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1.B and Section
3.1.E, the General Partner is hereby authorized to cause the Partnership from
time to time to issue to the Partners (including the General Partner) or other
Persons additional Units or other Partnership Interests in one or more classes,
or one or more series of any such class with such designations, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers and duties,
including rights, powers and duties senior to the Partnership Interests and
Units held by the Limited Partners, all as shall be determined by the General
Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, including, without limitation (i)
the right of such class or series of Partnership Interests to share in
Partnership distributions and (ii) the rights which each such class or series
of Partnership Interests shall have upon dissolution or liquidation of the
Partnership. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for a period of twenty-four (24)
months after the effective time of the Merger, the General Partner shall not
cause the Partnership to issue additional Units or other Partnership Interests
with rights, powers and duties senior to the Units and Partnership Interests
held by the Limited Partners.
D. No Limited Partner shall, by virtue of being the holder of
one or more Units, be deemed to be a shareholder of, or have any other interest
in, the General Partner.
E. The General Partner shall not permit the Partnership to
issue additional Units to existing or newly admitted Partners for a period of
twenty-four (24) months after the effective time of the Merger if the issuance
of such Units would cause a material adverse tax consequence to the Limited
Partners (determined in the manner described below); provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the General Partner shall have the right to require the Partnership to issue
additional new Units to existing or newly-admitted Partners in connection with
(i) the merger, consolidation or combination of the General Partner or one of
its corporate subsidiaries with or into another Person in which securities of
the General Partner are being issued, acquired, converted or exchanged or (ii)
the merger, consolidation or combination of the Partnership with or into
another Person in connection with such merger, consolidation or combination of
the General Partner or one of its corporate subsidiaries with or into another
Person in which securities of the General Partner are being issued, acquired,
converted or exchanged. For purposes of this Section 3.1.E, an issuance of
Units will be treated as having material adverse tax consequences to the
Limited Partners only if the Limited Partners submit to the Partnership within
twenty-one (21) days of receipt of notice from the General Partner of such
proposed
12
18
issuance of Units an opinion of Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx, L.L.C. or such other
certified public accounting firm reasonably satisfactory to the General
Partner, which opinion is in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Accountants, to the effect that such issuance (x) will result in a decrease in
the Limited Partners share of Partnership liabilities under Code Section 752
and the Regulations thereunder and (y) such decrease in the Limited Partners
share of liabilities will cause the Limited Partners to recognize taxable
income under Section 731 of the Code of $50,000 in the aggregate or greater.
Nothing in this Section 3.1.E shall preclude the issuance of Units to the
extent necessary to provide that the Limited Partners as a class are entitled
to at least 1% of the distributions to the Partners pursuant to Section 8.4 for
the taxable year and subsequent taxable years.
3.2 REDEMPTION RIGHT.
A. Subject to Sections 3.2.B and 3.2.C, on or after the date
of this Agreement, each Limited Partner, other than the General Partner, shall
have the right (the "Redemption Right") to require the Partnership to redeem on
a Specified Redemption Date all or a portion of the Units held by such Limited
Partner for an aggregate amount equal to the Cash Amount, which shall be paid
by the Partnership. The Redemption Right shall be exercised pursuant to a
Notice of Redemption delivered to the Partnership (with a copy to the General
Partner) by the Limited Partner who is exercising the redemption right (the
"Redeeming Partner"); provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be
obligated to satisfy such Redemption Right if the General Partner elects to
purchase the Units subject to the Notice of Redemption pursuant to Section
3.2.B. Effective as of the Specified Redemption Date, the Redeeming Partner
shall not receive any dividends or distributions with respect to any Units so
redeemed. The Transferee of any Limited Partner may exercise the rights of
such Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 3.2, and such Limited Partner
shall be deemed to have assigned such rights to such Transferee and shall be
bound by the exercise of such rights by such Transferee. In connection with
any exercise of such rights by such Transferee on behalf of such Limited
Partner, the Cash Amount shall be paid by the Partnership directly to such
Transferee and not to such Limited Partner.
B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.2.A, a Limited
Partner that exercises the Redemption Right shall be deemed to have offered to
sell the number of Units set forth in the Notice of Redemption to the General
Partner, and the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
elect to purchase directly and acquire such Units by paying to the Redeeming
Partner either the Cash Amount or the REIT Shares Amount, as elected by the
General Partner (in its sole and absolute discretion), on the Specified
Redemption Date, whereupon on such date the General Partner shall acquire the
Units offered for redemption by the Redeeming Partner and shall be treated for
all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such Units. If the General
Partner shall elect to exercise its right to purchase Units under this Section
3.2.B with respect to a Notice of Redemption, it shall so notify the Redeeming
Partner within five Trading Days after the receipt by the General Partner of
such Notice of Redemption. If the General Partner (in its sole and absolute
discretion) elects not to exercise its right to purchase Units from the
Redeeming Partner pursuant to this Section 3.2.B, the General Partner shall not
have any obligation to the Redeeming Partner or the Partnership with respect to
the Redeeming Partner's exercise of the Redemption Right, and
13
19
the Partnership shall be required to pay the Redeeming Partner the Cash Amount
in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2.A. In the event the General
Partner shall exercise its right to purchase Units with respect to the exercise
of a Redemption Right as described in the first sentence of this Section 3.2.B,
the Partnership shall have no obligation to pay any amount to the Redeeming
Partner with respect to such Redeeming Partner's exercise of such Redemption
Right, and each of the Redeeming Partner, the Partnership and the General
Partner, as the case may be, shall treat the transaction between the General
Partner and the Redeeming Partner for federal income tax purposes as a sale of
the Redeeming Partner's Units to the General Partner. Each Redeeming Partner
agrees to execute such documents as the General Partner may reasonably require
in connection with the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the
Redemption Right.
C. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.2.A and
Section 3.2.B, (i) a Limited Partner shall not be entitled to exercise the
Redemption Right pursuant to Section 3.2.A if the delivery of shares of Common
Stock to such Partner on the Specified Redemption Date pursuant to Section
3.2.B would be prohibited under or violate any provision of the Charter of the
General Partner or would violate any federal or state securities laws and (ii) a
Limited Partner shall not have the right to exercise the Redemption Right
pursuant to Section 3.2.A if in the opinion of counsel for the General Partner
the General Partner would, as a result thereof, no longer qualify (or if there
is a material risk that the General Partner no longer would qualify) as a REIT.
D. In connection with the execution of this Agreement, Xxxxxxx
and the Limited Partners have entered into a Registration Rights Agreement in
the form of EXHIBIT G hereto which provides the Limited Partners with certain
rights to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the shares of
Common Stock which they may receive under Section 3.2.B.
3.3 ADDITIONAL CAPITAL. No Partner shall be assessed or required to
contribute additional funds or other property to the Partnership. Any
additional funds or other property required by the Partnership, as determined
by the General Partner in its sole discretion, may, at the option of the
General Partner and without any obligation to do so, be contributed by the
General Partner as additional Capital Contributions. If and as the General
Partner or any other Partner makes additional Capital Contributions to the
Partnership, each such Contributing Partner shall receive additional Units or
other Partnership Interests as provided for in Section 3.1. The General
Partner shall also have the right (but not the obligation) to raise any
additional funds required for the Partnership by lending funds to the
Partnership, or by causing the Partnership to borrow funds from third parties
or other members of the Xxxxxxx Group, on such terms and conditions as the
General Partner shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion. If the General
Partner elects to cause the Partnership to borrow funds, it may cause one or
more of the Partnership's assets to be encumbered to secure the loan. No
Limited Partner shall have the right to contribute additional Capital
Contributions to the Partnership without the prior written consent of the
General Partner.
3.4 NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. No creditor or other third party
having dealings with the Partnership shall have the right to enforce the right
or obligation of any
14
20
Partner to make Capital Contributions or loans or to pursue any other right or
remedy hereunder or at law or in equity, it being understood and agreed that
the provisions of this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of, and may be
enforced solely by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns. None of the rights or obligations of the Partners herein set forth to
make Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership shall be deemed an asset
of the Partnership for any purpose by any creditor or other third party, nor
may such rights or obligations be sold, transferred or assigned by the
Partnership or pledged or encumbered by the Partnership to secure any debt or
other obligation of the Partnership or of any of the Partners.
3.5 CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. A separate Capital Account shall be
maintained for each Partner. The initial balance of each Partner's Capital
Account as of the date hereof shall equal the amount specified on EXHIBIT E
hereto. Each Partner's Capital Account shall thereafter be adjusted as set
forth below in this Section 3.5.
A. To each Partner's Capital Account there shall be credited
such Partner's Capital Contributions, such Partner's distributive share of
Profits and any items in the nature of income or gain which are specifically
allocated pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, and the amount of any Partnership
liabilities assumed by such Partner or which are secured by any Partnership
property distributed to such Partner.
B. To each Partner's Capital Account there shall be debited
the amount of cash and the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership property
distributed to such Partner pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, such
Partner's distributive share of Losses and any items in the nature of expenses
or losses which are specifically allocated pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, and
the amount of any liabilities of such Partner assumed by the Partnership or
which are secured by any property contributed by such Partner to the
Partnership.
C. In the event all or a portion of a Partnership Interest is
transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including a
transfer of Units pursuant to Section 3.2), the transferee shall succeed to the
Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred
Partnership Interest.
D. In determining the amount of any liability for purposes of
Sections 3.5.A and 3.5.B hereof, there shall be taken into account Code Section
752(c) and any other applicable provisions of the Code and Regulations.
E. This Section 3.5 and the other provisions of this Agreement
relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts (and the determination of
credits and debits thereto) are intended to comply with Section 704(b) of the
Code and Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), and shall be interpreted and applied
in a manner consistent with such Regulations. In the event the General Partner
shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital
Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto (including, without limitation, (i)
allocations pursuant to Article 7 hereof or (ii) debits or credits relating to
liabilities which are secured by contributed or distributed property or which
are assumed by the Partnership or
15
21
the Partners) are computed in order to comply with such Regulations or more
accurately reflect the Partners' interests in the Partnership, the General
Partner may make such modification. The General Partner also may (i) make any
adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the
Capital Accounts of the Partners and the amount of Partnership capital
reflected on the Partnership's balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, in
accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), (ii) make any
appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events (for example, the
acquisition by the Partnership of oil or gas properties) might otherwise cause
this Agreement not to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), and (iii)
adopt such conventions and make such elections for purposes of maintaining
Capital Accounts and the allocation of items for tax purposes as it determines
are necessary or appropriate.
3.6 NO INTEREST ON OR RETURN OF CAPITAL.
A. Except to the extent authorized by Partnership Interests
issued pursuant to Section 3.1.C, no Partner shall be entitled to any interest
on its Capital Account or on its contributions to the capital of the
Partnership.
B. Except as provided by law or to the extent authorized by
Partnership Interests issued pursuant to Section 3.1.C, no Partner shall have
the right to demand or to receive the return of all or any part of his capital
contributions to the Partnership and there shall be no priority of one Partner
over another as to the return of capital contributions or withdrawals or
distributions of profits and losses. Except to the extent authorized by
Partnership Interests issued pursuant to Section 3.1.C, no Partner shall have
the right to demand or receive property other than cash in return for the
contributions of such Partner to the Partnership.
3.7 NEGATIVE CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. Except as otherwise provided by law,
no Partner shall be required to pay to the Partnership any deficit or negative
balance which may exist in its Capital Account.
3.8 LIMIT ON CONTRIBUTIONS AND OBLIGATIONS OF PARTNER. Neither the
Limited Partners nor the General Partner shall be required to make any
additional advances or contributions to or on behalf of the Partnership or to
endorse any obligations of the Partnership.

be part of the winding up of the affairs of the Partnership).

otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership.
7. Allocations.
------------
7.1 PROFITS OR LOSSES. Profits and Losses for each taxable year
shall be allocated among the Partners and shall be credited or debited to the
respective Capital Accounts so that, to the maximum extent possible, the
balance of each Partner's Capital Account at the end of any taxable year
(increased by the sum of such Partner's share of Partnership Minimum Gain and
Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, as determined in accordance with
Regulations Section 1.704-2) would be positive in the amount of cash that such
Partner would receive if each member of the Xxxxxxx Group sold all of its
property for an amount of cash equal to the Gross Asset Value of such property
(reduced, but not below zero, by the amount of Nonrecourse Liabilities to which
such property is subject) and all of the cash of the Partnership and each
member of the Xxxxxxx Group remaining after payment of all liabilities (other
than Nonrecourse Liabilities) of the Partnership and each member of the Xxxxxxx
Group were distributed in liquidation of each such entity immediately following
the end of such taxable year. For purposes of calculating the distribution
that would be made to the Partners pursuant to the hypothetical liquidation
described in the preceding sentence, (i) Section 15.2.C shall be applied as if
such hypothetical liquidation occurred in connection with the liquidation of

Partner to determine its qualification as a REIT and its compliance with REIT
Requirements.
11.4 AUDITS. Not less frequently than annually, the books and
records of the Partnership shall be audited by the Accountants. The General
Partner shall, unless determined
29
35
otherwise by the General Partner, engage the Accountants to audit the books and
records of the Financing Partnership and any other consolidated subsidiary of
the Partnership.
11.5 METHOD OF ACCOUNTING. Except for purposes of Article 7 and the
maintenance of Capital Accounts, the Partnership books of account shall be
maintained and kept, and its income, gains, losses and deductions shall be
accounted for, in accordance with sound principles of accounting consistently
applied, or such other method of accounting as may be adopted hereafter by the
General Partner. All elections and options available to the Partnership for
federal or state income tax purposes shall be taken or rejected by the
Partnership in the sole discretion of the General Partner.
11.6 TAX ELECTION. All elections required or permitted to be made by
the Partnership under any applicable tax law shall be made by the General
Partner in its sole discretion.
11.7 TAX MATTERS PARTNER. The General Partner is hereby designated
the Tax Matters Partner (hereinafter referred to as the TMP") of the
Partnership and shall have all the rights and obligations of the TMP under the
Code.
11.8 ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUSTMENTS. If the TMP receives notice of a
Final Partnership Administrative Adjustment (the "FPAA") or if a request for an
administrative adjustment made by the TMP is not allowed by the United States
Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") and the IRS does not notify the TMP of the
beginning of an administrative proceeding with respect to the Partnership s
taxable year to which such request relates (or if the IRS so notifies the TMP
but fails to mail a timely notice of an FPAA), the TMP may, but shall not be
obligated to, petition a court for readjustment of partnership items. In the
case of notice of an FPAA, if the TMP determines that the United States
District Court or Claims Court is the most appropriate forum for such petition,
the TMP shall notify each person who was a Partner at any time during the
Partnership's taxable year to which the IRS notice relates of the approximate
amount by which the IRS notice relates of the approximate amount by which its
tax liability would be increased (based on such assumptions as the TMP may in
good faith make) if the treatment of partnership items on his return was made
consistent with the treatment of partnership items on the Partnership's return,
as adjusted by the FPAA. Each such person shall deposit with the TMP, for
deposit with the IRS, the approximate amount of his increased tax
liability together with a written agreement to make additional deposits if
required to satisfy the jurisdictional requirements of the Court, within thirty
days after the TMP's notice to such person.
12. Transfers of Partnership Interests.

12.1 CONSENT. By execution of this amended and restated Agreement,
Xxxxxx and the Limited Partners consent to (i) the Merger, (ii) Xxxxxxx
becoming the General Partner of the Partnership and (iii) the terms of this
amended and restated Agreement. The General Partner may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, transfer, assign, sell, encumber or otherwise dispose of
all or any part of its interest in the Partnership, without the consent of the
Limited Partners; provided, however, that, for a period of twenty-four (24)
months after the effective
30
36
time of the Merger, the General Partner shall not, without the consent of a
majority of the Limited Partners, transfer, assign, sell, encumber or otherwise
dispose of all or any part of its interest in the Partnership to any of its
Affiliates other than an Affiliate whose securities will, in connection with
such transfer, become issuable upon redemption of the Units. Nothing in this
Section 12.1 shall preclude the transfer of Units to the extent necessary to
provide that the Partners (other than the General Partner) are entitled to at
least 1% in the aggregate of the distributions to the Partners pursuant to
Section 8.4 for the taxable year and subsequent taxable years.
12.2 LIMITED PARTNERS.
A. No Limited Partner or substituted Limited Partner shall,
without the prior written consent of the General Partner which consent may be
withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, transfer, assign, sell, encumber
or otherwise dispose of (a Transfer") all or any part of his interest in the
Partnership, except (i) as otherwise permitted by Section 13.2 of this
Agreement and for intervivos intra-family transfers for estate planning
purposes, and (ii) for pledges of Units by Limited Partners to secure the
repayment of a loan, provided that the Limited Partner shall have (A) first
obtained the written agreement of the pledgee to exercise its redemption rights
with respect to any pledged Units pursuant to Section 3.2.C immediately upon
taking any action with respect to such Units and (B) submitted a copy of such
agreement and pledge to the General Partner. Any Transferee (as defined below)
of Units transferred as permitted hereby shall be subject to the provisions of
Article 14 hereof to the extent applicable. A Limited Partner shall notify
the General Partner of any Transfers of beneficial interest or other interest
which occurs without a transfer of record ownership, as well as any pledge or
other collateral transfer. No part of the interest of a Limited Partner shall
be subject to the claims of any creditor, any spouse for alimony or support, or
to legal process, or be voluntarily or involuntarily alienated or encumbered,
except as may be specifically provided for in Section 12.2.A or Section 13.2 of
this Agreement. A Limited Partner shall not be permitted to retire or withdraw
from the Partnership except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.
B. An assignee, legatee, distributee or other transferee
(whether by conveyance, operation of law or otherwise) (a "Transferee") of all
or any portion of a Limited Partner's interest in the Partnership shall be
entitled to receive distributions hereunder attributable to such interest
acquired by reason of such Transfer, from and after the effective date of the
Transfer of such interest; provided, however, anything in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, except as provided in Section 12.2.A or 13.2, (i) no
Transfer by a Limited Partner shall be effective until such Transfer has been
consented to by the General Partner, (ii) no Transferee shall be considered a
substituted Limited Partner, (iii) the Partnership and the General Partner
shall be entitled to treat the transferor of such interest as the absolute
owner thereof in all respects, and shall incur no liability for distributions
which are made to such transferor until such time as the written instrument of
Transfer has been received by the General Partner and the "effective date" of
the Transfer has passed, and (iv) the General Partner shall have the right to
require any such transferor to have such transferor's Partnership Interest
redeemed in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2 hereof. The
"effective date" of any Transfer shall be the last day of the month set forth
on the written
31
37
instrument of Transfer or such other date consented to in writing by the
General Partner as the "effective date."
C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article 12, (a) no Transfer shall be effective to the extent that such
Transfer, by treating the Unit or Partnership Interest so transferred as if it
had been tendered for redemption and then acquired by the General Partner for
Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.2 hereof, would be prohibited by or
violate any provision of the Charter of the General Partner (including those
limiting the ownership of Common Stock in certain instances) and (b) no
Transfer of a Partnership Interest by any Partner shall be made (i) to any
person or entity that lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a
Partnership Interest, (ii) in violation of applicable law, (iii) if such
Transfer would cause the General Partner to fail to qualify as a REIT, (iv) if
such Transfer would cause a termination of the Partnership for federal income
tax purposes (unless the General Partner consents to such transfer), (v) if
such Transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, cause the
Partnership or the Financing Partnership (or any other entity taxed as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes) (A) to cease to be classified and
taxed as a partnership for federal income tax purposes or (B) to be a publicly
traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code, (vi) if
such Transfer would cause the Partnership to become, with respect to any
employee benefit plan subject to Title 1 of ERISA, a "party-in-interest" (as
defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a "disqualified person" (as defined in
Section 4975(c) of the Code), or (vii) if such Transfer would, in the opinion
of counsel to the Partnership, cause any portion of the assets of the
Partnership to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to
Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101.
12.3 ADMISSION ADJUSTMENTS. The General Partner, when necessary,
shall cause this Agreement to be amended from time to time to reflect the
addition or withdrawal of Partners, including the corresponding adjustments to
Percentage Interests and Units required pursuant to Section 3.1.
13. Rights and Obligations of the Limited Partners.
-----------------------------------------------
13.1 NO PARTICIPATION IN MANAGEMENT. Except as expressly permitted

the power to sign documents for or otherwise bind the Partnership.
13.2 DEATH, LEGAL INCOMPETENCY, ETC. OF A LIMITED PARTNER. The
death, legal incompetency, insolvency, dissolution or bankruptcy of a Limited
Partner shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership. Upon ten Trading Days

Limited Partner, such individual Limited Partner's interest in the Partnership
shall be transferred either by will, the laws of intestacy or otherwise to the
legal representative or successor of such individual Limited Partner who shall
be bound in all respects by the terms of this Agreement, subject to the General
Partner's right to redeem such interest in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3.2 hereof.
32
38
13.3 NO WITHDRAWAL. No Limited Partner may withdraw from the
Partnership without the prior written consent of the General Partner.

competition with the business of the Partnership, and that such persons are
entitled to carry on such other business interests, activities and investments.
The Limited Partners and their Affiliates may engage in or possess an interest
in any other business or venture of any kind, independently or with others, on
their own behalf or on behalf of other entities with which they are affiliated
or associated, and such persons may engage in any activities, whether or not
competitive with the Partnership, without any obligation to offer any interest
in such activities to the Partnership or to any Partner. Neither the
Partnership nor any Partner shall have any right, by virtue of this Agreement,
in or to such activities, or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the
pursuit of such activities, even if competitive with the business of the
Partnership, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.

incurred by any of the Indemnified Parties as a result of or arising out of any
matter, condition or act at the Commons of Chicago Ridge involving any
Environmental Claim, which matter, condition or act existed on or arose prior

39
the environmental reports set forth as exhibits to the Contribution Agreements
or as described in the Prospectus or other reports filed by Xxxxxx with the SEC

to this Section 14.3, unless such Indemnified Party shall have delivered a
written notice specifying the details of such claim to the TTC Guarantors on or

The indemnification obligation set forth in the preceding paragraph shall

Chicago Ridge that existed on or arose prior to the date of the Prior

B. The Indemnified Parties shall have full recourse to the TTC
Guarantors and all of their assets for the indemnity obligation set forth in

C. The Indemnified Parties agree to the following with respect
to any indemnification obligations of the TTC Guarantors hereunder:
(i) to furnish the TTC Guarantors with copies of all claims,

"special waste", including "hazardous waste" (both as
defined under Illinois statutes and regulations), or of any
other material subject to special or hazardous waste
requirements, has an incremental cost above the cost that
would be incurred if such materials were not so classified
or regulated, the TTC Guarantors shall bear such
incremental cost; and
(viii) to obligate contractors with respect to construction on the
Commons of Chicago Ridge to require workers to wear
protective clothing and apparatus to the extent required by
law if, in connection with the construction, such workers
will be exposed to special or hazardous wastes or other

requirements.
The agreements of the Indemnified Parties set forth in sub-sections (i)
through (viii) above shall not be deemed to require the consent or approval of

14.4 TTC GUARANTORS.
A. With respect to indemnity obligations of the TTC Guarantors
under Section 14.3 hereof, the TTC Guarantors have granted and hereby confer,
subject to the provisions of Section 14.4.D hereof, to the General Partner a
lien upon and a continuing security interest in, the Indemnity Collateral which
shall be security for the indemnity obligations of the TTC Guarantors, as
applicable, under this Article 14. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Units
owned by the TTC Guarantors and their family members subject to the lien and
security interest granted under this Section 14.4.A may be transferred in
accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2 hereof free and clear of such
lien and security interest and
35
41
(ii) shares of Common Stock of the General Partner owned by the TTC Guarantors
and their family members subject to the lien and security interest granted
under this Section 14.4.A may be transferred free and clear of such lien and
security interest; provided, however, that, in each instance, once a claim for
indemnity has been made in accordance with this Article 14, the TTC Guarantors
may not under any circumstance sell or otherwise transfer such Units or shares
of Common Stock or any other Indemnity Collateral. In addition, once an
indemnity claim has been made hereunder, all cash or other dividends made with
respect to Units or shares of Common Stock shall be considered Indemnity
Collateral and shall be placed by the General Partner in an escrow account
until such claim is resolved.
B. The TTC Guarantors have (i) delivered to the General
Partner certificates representing all of the shares of Common Stock owned by
them in such manner and accompanied by such instruments, including stock
transfer powers duly endorsed in blank, as shall be necessary to grant the
General Partner a fully perfected first priority security interest in such
shares and in any shares of Common Stock that may, after the date hereof, be
issued to the TTC Guarantors by stock dividend, stock split or similar
distribution and (ii) prepared and filed UCC financing statements and such
other documents and have taken other action necessary to grant the General
Partner a fully perfected first priority security interest in all of their
respective Units. In the event the TTC Guarantors are determined to have an
indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 14.4.D hereof, then each
Indemnified Party shall have all of the rights now or hereafter existing under
applicable law, and all rights as a secured creditor under the Uniform
Commercial Code ("UCC") in all relevant jurisdictions, with respect to the
Indemnity Collateral, and the TTC Guarantors agree to take all such actions as
may be reasonably requested of them by an Indemnified Party to ensure that the
Indemnified Parties can realize on such security interest.
C. In the event an Indemnified Party asserts, within the time
period set forth in Section 14.3.A hereof, that the TTC Guarantors have an
indemnification obligation to an Indemnified Party under this Article 14, and
TTC Guarantors are determined to have an indemnification obligation pursuant to
Section 14.4.D hereof, then (x) the General Partner shall, to the full extent
permitted by law, be deemed, without payment of further consideration or the
taking of further action by the TTC Guarantors or any of their subsidiaries, to
have acquired from any or all of the TTC Guarantors such portion of the
Indemnity Collateral as shall be equal in value (based, in the case of Units,
on the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Units could be
exchanged, computed as of the date the Indemnity Collateral is acquired by the
General Partner pursuant to this Section 14.3.C, and in the case of the Units
or the Common Stock, on the Current Per Share Market Price computed as of the
date of such acquisition) to the amount recoverable from or payable by or
indemnified by the TTC Guarantors under this Article 14, and (y) the
Indemnified Parties shall have all of the rights now or hereafter existing
under applicable law and all rights as a secured creditor under the UCC in all
relevant jurisdictions, with respect to the Indemnity Collateral and the TTC
Guarantors agree to take all such actions as may be reasonably requested of
them by the General Partner to ensure that the Indemnified Parties can realize
on such security interest.
D. Each of the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to
submit any dispute concerning whether a particular environmental claim is
within the parameters of
36
42
Section 14.3.A to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Article 18
hereof. The lien and the security interest in Indemnity Collateral granted
hereunder shall not be released with respect to the TTC Guarantors shares of
Common Stock and Units until all of the indemnification obligations of the TTC
Guarantors hereunder have expired or been satisfied in accordance with their
terms; provided, however, that Units owned by the TTC Guarantors and their
family members may be transferred in accordance with this Agreement and shares
of Common Stock owned by the TTC Guarantors and their family members may be
transferred free and clear of such lien and security interest, in each such
case subject to the limitations of Section 14.4.A. Upon satisfaction of the
conditions to the release of the lien and security interest in the Indemnity
Collateral set forth above, the General Partner shall prepare and file all
documents and shall take all other action necessary on its part to release such
security interest in the applicable Indemnity Collateral.
15. Liquidation and Dissolution of Partnership.
-------------------------------------------
15.1 TERMINATION EVENTS. The Partnership shall be dissolved and its
affairs wound up in the manner hereinafter provided upon the occurrence of an
event described in Article 6 hereof.
15.2 METHOD OF LIQUIDATION. Upon the happening of any of the events
specified in Article 6 hereof, the General Partner (or if there be no General
Partner, a liquidating trustee selected by those Limited Partners holding in
the aggregate more than fifty percent (50%) of the Percentage Interests held by
all Limited Partners) shall immediately commence to wind up the Partnership s
affairs and shall liquidate the assets of the Partnership as promptly as
possible, unless the General Partner, or the liquidating trustee, shall
determine that an immediate sale of Partnership assets would cause undue loss
to the Partnership, in which event the liquidation may be deferred for a
reasonable time. The Partners shall continue to share Operating Cash Flow and
Capital Cash Flow during the period of liquidation in the same proportions as
before dissolution. The proceeds from liquidation of the Partnership,
including repayment of any debts of Partners to the Partnership, shall be
applied in the order of priority as follows:
A. Debts of the Partnership, including repayment of principal
and interest on loans and advances made by the General Partner; then
B. To the establishment of any reserves deemed necessary or
appropriate by the General Partner, or by the person(s) winding up the affairs
of the Partnership in the event there is no remaining General Partner of the
Partnership, for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the
Partnership. Such reserves established hereunder shall be held for the purpose
of paying any such contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations and, at
the expiration of such period as the General Partner, or such person(s) deems
advisable, the balance of such reserves shall be distributed in the manner
provided hereinafter in this Section 15.2 as though such reserves had been
distributed contemporaneously with the other funds distributed hereunder; then
37
43
C. To the Partners in accordance with the provisions of
Sections 8.4 and 8.5; provided, however, that if the Partnership is liquidated
other than in connection with the liquidation of the Xxxxxxx Group,
distributions to the Partners under this Section 15.2.C shall be made in the
following order and priority:
1. First, to the Limited Partners as a class an amount
equal to the lesser of (a) the sum of (i) the amount (or portion thereof) of
any Current Yield which has not been paid to the Limited Partners pursuant to
Section 8.4.A for any prior period, plus (ii) the product of (x) the Conversion
Factor, (y) the number of Units held by the Limited Partners and (z) the
Current Per Share Market Price of the Common Stock as of the close of the
period ending with the liquidation and (b) 99% of the liquidation proceeds
remaining after the application of Section 15.2.A-B hereof; and
2. Second, the remainder of liquidation proceeds shall be
distributed to the General Partner.
15.3 DISTRIBUTION IN KIND. The General Partner may make
distributions pursuant to this Agreement in cash or in kind, as it determines
is appropriate in its sole discretion; provided that no in-kind distributions
shall be made to any Limited Partner other than the General Partner. In the
event the General Partner determines that it is necessary or desirable to make
a distribution of Partnership property in kind, the General Partner may
transfer and convey such property to the distributees as tenants in common,
subject to any liabilities attached thereto, so as to vest in them undivided
interests in the whole of such property in proportion to their respective
rights to share in the proceeds of the sale of such property (other than as a
creditor) in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.2 hereof.
15.4 DOCUMENTATION OF LIQUIDATION. Upon the completion of the
resolution and liquidation of the Partnership, the Partnership shall terminate
and the liquidating trustee shall have the authority to execute and record any
and all documents or instruments required to effect the dissolution,
liquidation and termination of the Partnership.
15.5 LIABILITY OF THE LIQUIDATING TRUSTEE. The liquidating trustee
shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership from and against any
and all claims, demands, liabilities, costs, damages and causes of action of
any nature whatsoever arising out of or incidental to the liquidating trustee s
taking of any action authorized under or within the scope of this Agreement;
provided, however, that the liquidating trustee shall not be entitled to
indemnification, and shall not be held harmless, where the claim, demand,
liability, cost, damage or cause of action at issue arose out of:
A. A matter entirely unrelated to the liquidating trustee s
action or conduct pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; or
B. The proven misconduct or negligence of the liquidating
trustee.
16. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Each Limited Partner hereby irrevocably
constitutes and appoints the Chief Executive Officer, the President and each
person holding the office of
38
44
Executive Vice President of the General Partner, with full power of
substitution, its true and lawful attorney, for him and in his name, place and
xxxxx and for his use and benefit, to sign, swear to, acknowledge, file and
record:
(i) this Agreement, and amendments to this Agreement;
(ii) any certificates, instruments and documents (including
assumed and fictitious name certificates) as may be required by, or may be
appropriate under, the laws of the State of Delaware or any other State or
jurisdiction in which the Partnership is doing or intends to do business, in
order to discharge the purposes of the Partnership or otherwise in connection
with the use of the name or names used by the Partnership;
(iii) any other instrument which may be required to be
filed or recorded by the Partnership on behalf of the Partners under the laws
of any State or by any governmental agency in order for the Partnership to
conduct its business;
(iv) any documents which may be required to effect the
continuation of the Partnership, the admission of a substitute or additional
Partner, or the dissolution and termination of the Partnership, provided such
continuation, admission or dissolution and termination is not in violation of
any provision of this Agreement; and
(v) any documents which may be required or desirable to
have the General Partner appointed, and act as, the Tax Matters Partner as
described in the Code.
The foregoing grant of authority is a special power of attorney coupled with an
interest, is irrevocable and shall survive the death or incapacity of any
individual Limited Partner, and shall survive the delivery of any assignment by
a Limited Partner of the whole or any portion of his interest in the
Partnership.
17. Amendment of Agreement.
-----------------------
17.1 GENERAL. The General Partner, without the consent of the
Limited Partners, may amend this Agreement in any respect by executing a
written instrument setting forth the terms of such amendment; provided,
however, that, except as provided in Section 17.2 hereof, any amendment which
alters or changes (i) the distribution rights of any Limited Partner under
Article 8, or (ii) a Limited Partner's Redemption Rights under Section 3.2,
shall require the consent of Limited Partners (excluding the General Partner)
holding more than 50% of the Partnership Interests.
17.2 MERGER, ETC. OF GENERAL PARTNER. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, in the event that (i) the General Partner or any
of its corporate subsidiaries engages in any merger, consolidation or other
combination with or into another Person in which securities of the General
Partner are being issued, acquired, converted or exchanged, (ii) the General
Partner engages in the sale of all or substantially all of its assets,
39
45
or (iii) the General Partner engages in a reclassification, recapitalization or
change in the outstanding shares of its stock (other than a change in par value
or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or
combination as described in the definition of Conversion Factor) which results
in the holders of Common Stock receiving cash, securities or other property
(any of the events listed in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) hereinafter referred to
as a "Transaction"), the General Partner (or its successor or transferee) may
amend the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the
definition of Conversion Factor) in any respect in connection with such
Transaction (regardless of whether the amendment alters or changes the
distributions to a Limited Partner or a Limited Partner's Redemption Rights)
without obtaining the consent of any Limited Partner; provided that either (i)
in connection with the Transaction, the Limited Partners are offered the
opportunity to receive for each Unit held by them an amount of cash,
securities, or other property equal to the product of the Conversion Factor and
the amount of cash, securities or other property, if any, paid to a holder of
one share of Common Stock as a result of the Transaction, or (ii) the General
Partner or its corporate subsidiary is the acquiror in such Transaction and the
holders of the Common Stock of the General Partner are not receiving cash,
securities, or other property in such Transaction.
18. Arbitration.
------------
18.1 GENERAL. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, all claims, disputes and controversies between the parties
hereto (including, without limitation, any claims, disputes and controversies
between the Partnership and any one or more of the Partners and any claims,
disputes and controversies between any one or more Partners and the
indemnification obligations of the TTC Guarantors under Article 14) arising out
of or in connection with this Agreement or the Partnership created hereby, or
any act or failure to act by the General Partner or any other Partner
hereunder, in each case whether or not a party has responded to a claim for
indemnification in accordance with Section 14.4.D, shall be resolved by binding
arbitration in Boston, Massachusetts by J.A.M.S./ENDISPUTE, in accordance with

be conducted in accordance with the following procedures:
A. The Partnership or any Partner (the "Requesting Party") may
demand arbitration pursuant to Section 18.1 hereof at any time by giving
written notice of such demand (the "Demand Notice") to all other Partners and
(if the Requesting Party is not the Partnership) to the Partnership which
Demand Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim,
dispute or controversy.
B. Within fifteen (15) days after the giving of a Demand
Notice, J.A.M.S./ENDISPUTE shall select and designate in writing three
reputable, disinterested individuals willing to act as an arbitrator of the
claim, dispute or controversy in question.
C. The presentations of the parties hereto in the arbitration
proceeding shall be commenced and completed within sixty (60) days after the
selection of the
40
46
arbitration panel pursuant to subsection B above, and the arbitration panel
shall render its decision in writing within thirty (30) days after the
completion of such presentations. Any decision concurred in by any two (2) of
the arbitrators shall constitute the decision of the arbitration panel, and
unanimity shall not be required.
D. The arbitration panel shall have the discretion to include
in its decision a direction that all or part of the attorneys' fees and costs
of any party or parties and/or the costs of such arbitration be paid by any
other party or parties. On the application of a party before or after the
initial decision of the arbitration panel, and proof of its attorneys' fees and
costs, the arbitration panel shall order the other party to make any payments
directed pursuant to the preceding sentence.
18.3 BINDING CHARACTER. Any decision rendered by the arbitration
panel pursuant to this Section shall be final and binding on the parties
hereto, and judgment thereon may be entered by any state or federal court of
competent jurisdiction.
18.4 EXCLUSIVITY. Arbitration shall be the exclusive method
available for resolution of claims, disputes and controversies described in
Section 18.1 hereof, and the Partnership and its Partners stipulate that the
provisions hereof shall be a complete defense to any suit, action, or
proceeding in any court or before any administrative or arbitration tribunal
with respect to any such claim, controversy or dispute. The provisions of
this Section 18.4 shall survive the dissolution of the Partnership.
18.5 NO ALTERATION OF AGREEMENT. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to give the arbitrators any authority, power or right to alter, change,
amend, modify, add to, or subtract from any of the provisions of this
Agreement.

19.2 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Any person acquiring or claiming an
interest in the Partnership, in any manner whatsoever, shall be subject to and
bound by all of the terms, conditions and obligations of this Agreement to
which his predecessor-in-interest was subject or bound, without regard to
whether such a person has executed a counterpart hereof or any other document
contemplated hereby. No person, including the legal representative, heir or
legatee of a deceased Partner, shall have any rights or obligations greater
than those set forth in this Agreement, and no person shall acquire an interest
in the Partnership or become a Partner thereof except as expressly permitted by
and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, and the
provisions of Article 12 above, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the Partners and their respective successors, assigns, heirs,
legal representatives, executors and administrators.
19.3 DUPLICATE ORIGINALS. For the convenience of the Partners, any
number of counterparts hereof may be executed, and each such counterpart shall
be deemed to be an original instrument, and all of which taken together shall
constitute one agreement.
19.4 CONSTRUCTION. The titles of the Sections and subsections herein
have been inserted as a matter of convenience of reference only and shall not
control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions
herein.
19.5 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Delaware. Except to the extent the Act is inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of such Act shall apply to the
Partnership.
19.6 OTHER INSTRUMENTS. The parties hereto covenant and agree that
they will execute such other and further instruments and documents as, in the
opinion of the General Partner, are or may become necessary or desirable to
effectuate and carry out the Partnership as provided for by this Agreement.
19.7 GENERAL PARTNER WITH INTEREST AS LIMITED PARTNER. Except as set
forth to the contrary in this Agreement, if the General Partner has an interest
as a Limited Partner in the Partnership, the General Partner shall, with
respect to such interest, enjoy all of the rights and be subject to all of the
obligations and duties of a Limited Partner.
19.8 GENDER. Whenever the context shall so require, all words herein
in any gender shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine or neuter
gender, all singular words shall include the plural, and all plural words shall
include the singular.

prior understandings or written or oral agreements amongst the Partners, or any
of them, respecting
42

the within subject matter and contains the entire understanding amongst the
Partners with respect thereto.
19.10 PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT. Each Partner represents,
warrants and agrees that it has acquired and continues to hold its interest in
the Partnership for its own account for investment only and not for the purpose
of, or with a view toward, the resale or distribution of all or any part
thereof, nor with a view toward selling or otherwise distributing such interest
or any part thereof at any particular time or under any predetermined
circumstances. Each Partner further represents and warrants that it is a
sophisticated investor, able and accustomed to handling sophisticated financial
matters for itself, particularly real estate investments, and that it has a
sufficiently high net worth that it does not anticipate a need for the funds it
has invested in the Partnership in what it understands to be a highly
speculative and illiquid investment.
19.11 WAIVER. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by any
Partner to or of any breach or default by any other Partner in the performance
by such other Partner of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed
to be a consent to or waiver of any other breach of default in the performance
by such other Partner of the same or any other obligations of such Partner
hereunder. Failure on the part of any Partner to complain of any act or
failure to act on the part of any other Partner or to declare any other Partner
in default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not
constitute a waiver by such Partner of its rights hereunder.
19.12 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement, or the
application of such provision to any person or circumstance, shall be held
invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement,
or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than
those to which it is held invalid by such court, shall not be affected thereby.
19.13 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, which when taken together, shall constitute but one original.
19.14 NOTICE FOR CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. In the event of (a) a
dissolution or liquidation of the Partnership or the General Partner, (b) a
merger, consolidation or combination of the Partnership or the General Partner
with or into another Person (including the events set forth in Section 17.2),
(c) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership or
the General Partner, or (d) the transfer by the General Partner of all or any
part of its interest in the Partnership, the General Partner shall give written
notice thereof to each Limited Partner at least twenty (20) Trading Days prior
to the effective date or, to the extent applicable, record date of such
transaction, whichever comes first.
