All fees and other expenses incurred by the Partnership to promote the sale of (or to sell) a Partnership Interest that can neither be deducted nor amortized under Section 709 of the Code shall, for purposes of Capital Account maintenance, be treated as an item described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B).

(v) Except as otherwise provided in Regulation Sec. 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code.

(c) A transferee of a Partnership Interest shall succeed to the Capital Account relating to the Partnership Interest transferred.

(d) (i) Consistent with the provisions of Regulation Sec. 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), upon an issuance of additional Units for cash or Contributed Property pursuant to Section 4.3, the Capital Accounts of all Partners shall, immediately prior to such issuance, be adjusted (consistent with the provisions hereof) upwards or downwards to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to each Partnership property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized upon an actual sale of each such property, immediately prior to such issuance, and had been allocated to the Partners at such time pursuant to Section 5.1. In determining Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss, the aggregate cash amount and fair market value of all Partnership assets (including any cash or cash equivalents) immediately prior to the issuance of Units shall be deemed to be equal to the Prescribed Asset Value as of such time. Once the Prescribed Asset Value has been determined, the General Partner shall allocate such aggregate value among the properties of the Partnership in a manner it deems reasonable to determine a fair market value for individual properties. The Carrying Values of Partnership properties shall be adjusted to reflect their relative fair market values, as determined hereunder by the General Partner.

(ii) In accordance with Regulation Sec. 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), immediately prior to (A) the distribution of any Partnership property (other than cash), (B) the distribution of cash in redemption of a General Partner's Partnership Interest pursuant to Section 13.1(c), or (C) the distribution of cash in redemption of a Limited Partner's interest pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(x), the Capital Accounts of all Partners shall, immediately prior to any such distribution, be adjusted (consistent with the provisions hereof) upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to each Partnership property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized upon an actual sale of each property, immediately prior to such distribution, and had been allocated to the Partners at such time pursuant to Section 5.1. In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss, the aggregate cash amount and fair market value of Partnership assets (including any cash or cash equivalents) immediately prior to a distribution shall (x) in the case of a current distribution pursuant to Section 5.3 or 13.1(c), be determined in the manner provided in Section 4.5(d)(i) or (y) in the case of a liquidating distribution pursuant to Section 14.3 or 14.4, be determined by the General Partner using such reasonable methods of valuation as it may adopt. Immediately prior to a distribution described herein, the Carrying Values of Partnership properties shall be adjusted to reflect their fair market values, as determined hereunder by the General Partner.

4.6 Interest. No interest shall be paid by the Partnership on Capital Contributions or on balances in Capital Accounts.

4.7 No Withdrawal. A Partner shall not be entitled to withdraw any part of his or its Capital Contribution or his or its Capital Account or to receive any distribution from the Partnership, except as provided in Section 5.3 and Articles XIII and XIV.

4.8 Loans from Partners. The General Partner may make loans to the Partnership only as provided in Section 6.8. A Limited Partner may make loans to the Partnership only with the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion. Any loans by a Partner to the Partnership shall not be considered Capital Contributions. If any Partner or Assignee shall advance funds to the Partnership in excess of the amounts required hereunder to be contributed by him or it to the capital of the Partnership, the making of such advances shall not result in any increase in the amount of the Capital Account of such Partner. The amounts of any such advances shall be a debt of the Partnership to such Partner or Assignee and shall be payable or collectible only out of the Partnership assets in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such advances are made.

4.9 Splits and Combinations. (a) The General Partner may cause the Partnership to make a distribution in Units to all Record Holders or may effect a subdivision or combination of Units, but in each case only on a pro rata basis so that, after such distribution, subdivision or combination, each Partner and Assignee shall, subject to Section 4.9(d), have the same Percentage Interest in the Partnership as before such distribution, subdivision or combination.

(b) Whenever such a distribution, subdivision or combination is declared, the General Partner shall select a Record Date as of which the distribution, subdivision or combination shall be effective and shall send notice of the distribution, subdivision or combination at least twenty (20) days prior to such Record Date to each Record Holder as of the date ten days prior to the date of such notice. The General Partner also may cause a firm of independent public accountants selected by it to calculate the number of Units to be held by each Record Holder after giving effect to such distribution, subdivision or combination. The General Partner shall be entitled to rely on any certificate provided by such firm as conclusive evidence of the correctness of such a calculation.

(c) Promptly following any such distribution, subdivision or combination, the General Partner may cause Certificates or Depositary Receipts to be issued to the Record Holders of Units or Depositary Units as of the applicable Record Date representing the new number of Units or Depositary Units held by such Record Holder, or the General Partner may adopt such other procedures as it may deem appropriate to reflect such distribution, subdivision or combination; provided that in the event any such distribution, subdivision or combination results in a smaller total number of Units Outstanding, the General Partner shall require, as a condition to the delivery to a Record Holder of such new Certificate or Depositary Receipt, the surrender of any Certificate or Depositary Receipt held by such Record Holder immediately prior to such Record Date.

(d) The Partnership shall not be required to issue fractional Units upon any distribution, subdivision or combination of Units. In the event any distribution, subdivision or combination of Units would result in the issuance of fractional Units but for the provisions of Section 4.9(d), each fractional Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole Unit.

ARTICLE V

Allocations and Distributions

5.1 Allocations for Capital Account Purposes. (a) For purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts and in determining the rights of the Partners among themselves, except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.1, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction (computed in accordance with Section 4.5(b)) shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(b) Any item of loss or deduction otherwise allocated to a General Partner pursuant to Section 5.1(a) which is in excess of such General Partner's positive Adjusted Capital Account balance (following adjustment of such Adjusted Capital Account to reflect the allocation of all other items for such period) shall instead be allocated to the Limited Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests to the extent such item of loss or deduction exceeds such General Partner's Adjusted Capital Account balance; provided that the allocation of any such item of loss or deduction to the Limited Partners shall only be made hereunder to the extent such allocation would not result in or increase a negative balance in the Adjusted Capital Account of any Limited Partner. If any item of loss or deduction otherwise allocated to a General Partner is allocated to the Limited Partners pursuant to the preceding sentence, items of income or gain that would otherwise be allocated to such General Partner equal to the amount of such loss or deduction shall be allocated to the Limited Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests as quickly as possible.

(c) If any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulation Sec. 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. This Section 5.1(c) is intended to constitute a "qualified income offset" within the meaning of Regulation Sec. 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

(d)(i) Subject to the exceptions set forth in Regulation Sec. 1.704-2(f)(2)--(5), if there is a net decrease in Partnership "minimum gain" (as defined in Regulation Sec. 1.704-2(b)(2) and 1.704-2(d)) during any Fiscal Period, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner's share of the net decrease in minimum gain, determined in accordance with Regulation Sec. 1.704-2(g)(2). This Section 5.1(d)(i) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulation Sec. 1.704-2(b)(2) and (f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(ii) Subject to the exceptions set forth in Regulation Sec. 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in "partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain" (as defined in Regulation Sec. 1.704-2(i) and 1.704-2(b)(4)) during any Fiscal Period, each Partner who has a share of the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain, determined in accordance with Regulation Sec. 1.704-2(i)(3), shall be specially allocated items of income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner's share of the net decrease in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain, determined in accordance with Regulation Sec. 1.704-2(i)(5). This paragraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulation Sec. 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

5.2 Allocations for Tax Purposes. (a) For federal income tax purposes, except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.2, each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(b) In an attempt to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities attributable to a Contributed Property or Adjusted Property, items of income, gain, loss, depreciation and cost recovery deductions shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Partners as follows:

(i) (1) In the case of a Contributed Property, such items attributable thereto shall be allocated among the Partners in the manner provided under Section 704(c) of the Code that takes into account the variation between the Agreed Value of such property and its adjusted basis at the time of contribution. (2) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2(c), any items of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to a Contributed Property shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

(ii) (1) In the case of an Adjusted Property, such items attributable thereto shall (A) first, be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such property and the allocations thereof pursuant to Section 4.5(d)(i) or 4.5(d)(ii), and (B) second, in the event such property was originally a Contributed Property, be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with Section 5.2(b)(i)(1). (2) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2(c), any items of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to an Adjusted Property shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

(iii) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5.2(b)(iv) and 5.2(c), all other items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

(iv) Any items of income, gain, loss or deduction otherwise allocable under Section 5.2(b)(i)(2), 5.2(b)(ii)(2) or 5.2(b)(iii) shall be subject to allocation by the General Partner in a manner designed to eliminate, to the maximum extent possible, Book-Tax Disparities in a Contributed Property or Adjusted Property otherwise resulting from the application of the ceiling limitation (under Section 704(c) of the Code or Section 704(c) principles) to the allocations provided under Section 5.2(b)(i)(1) or 5.2(b)(ii)(1).

(c) Subject to Section 5.2(b), any item of income, gain, loss or deduction otherwise allocable to a General Partner pursuant to Section 5.2(a) that constitutes the tax corollary of an item of "book" income, gain, loss or deduction that has been allocated to the Limited Partners pursuant to Section 5.1(b) shall be allocated to the Limited Partners in the same manner and to the same extent provided in Section 5.1 (b).

(d) If any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulation Sec. 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner consistent with the allocations of income and gain pursuant to Section 5.1(c).

(e) If there is a decrease in Partnership "minimum gain" or "partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain" as described in Section 5.1(j), items of income and gain shall be allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner consistent with the allocation of income and gain pursuant to Section 5.1(j).

(f) It is intended that the allocations prescribed in Sections 5.2(b)(i) and 5.2(b)(ii) constitute allocations for federal income tax purposes that are consistent with Section 704 of the Code and comply with any limitations or restrictions therein. To preserve the uniformity of the intrinsic tax characteristics of Units, in addition to the allocation provided in Section 5.2(b)(iv), the General Partner shall have sole and complete discretion, without the approval of any other Partner, to (i) adopt such conventions as it deems necessary or appropriate in determining the amount of depreciation and cost recovery deductions and (ii) amend the provisions of this Agreement as necessary or appropriate (1) to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Regulations under Section 704(c) of the Code, or (2) otherwise to preserve the uniformity of Units issued or sold from time to time. The General Partner may adopt such conventions and make such amendments to this Agreement as provided in this Section 5.2(f) only if they would not have a material adverse effect on the Limited Partners. The General Partner is authorized, based on the advice of counsel, to depreciate the portion of a Section 743(b) adjustment attributable to unrealized appreciation in a Contributed Property or Adjusted Property which is a recovery property (to the extent of the unamortized Book-Tax Disparity) using a predetermined rate derived from the depreciation method and useful life applied to the Partnership's common basis of such property, despite the inconsistency of such approach with Proposed Regulation Section 1.168-2(n). If the General Partner later determines that such reporting position cannot reasonably be taken, the General Partner may adopt, if deemed a reasonable position based upon advice of counsel, a depreciation convention under which all purchasers acquiring Units in the same month would receive depreciation, whether attributable to common basis or Section 743(b) basis, based upon the same applicable rate as if they had purchased a direct interest in the Partnership's property. If the General Partner chooses not to utilize such aggregate method, the General Partner may use any other reasonable depreciation convention to preserve the uniformity of the intrinsic tax characteristics of any Units that would not have a material adverse effect on the Limited Partners. If the General Partner determines, based upon advice of counsel, that no reasonably allowable convention or other method is available to preserve the uniformity of the intrinsic tax characteristics of any specifically identifiable group of Units pursuant to this Section 5.2(f), such Units will be separately identified, to the extent practicable, as distinct classes to reflect intrinsic differences in tax consequences, regardless of the cause of any such nonuniformity.

(g) To the extent of any Recapture Income resulting from the sale or other taxable disposition of Partnership assets, the amount of any gain from such disposition allocated to (or recognized by) a Partner (or his successor in interest) for federal income tax purposes pursuant to the above provisions shall be deemed to be Recapture Income to the extent such Partner has been allocated or has claimed any deduction directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gain as Recapture Income.

(h) All items of income, gain, loss and deduction recognized by the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and allocated to the Partners in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be determined without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Partnership; provided that such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted as necessary or appropriate to take into account those adjustments permitted by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code.

(i) Each item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit attributable to a transferred Partnership Interest shall, for federal income tax purposes, be determined on an annual basis and prorated on a monthly basis (or other basis, as required or permitted by Section 706 of the Code) and shall be allocated to the Partners who own Partnership Interests as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the last day of the month in which the transfer is recognized by the Partnership; provided that, gain or loss on a sale or other disposition of all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Partnership shall be allocated to the Partners who own Partnership Interests as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the last day of the month in which such gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes. The General Partner may revise, alter or otherwise modify such methods of determination and allocation as it determines necessary, to the extent permitted by Section 706 of the Code and the regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder.

(j) Allocations which would otherwise be made to a Limited Partner under the provisions of this Article V shall instead be made to the beneficial owner of the applicable Units, if the Partnership is notified in a manner satisfactory to the General Partner as to the identity of such beneficial owner by any broker, dealer, bank, trust company, clearing corporation or nominee holder that is the Record Holder of such Units.

5.3 Distributions. (a) The General Partner shall, in accordance with the provisions hereof, cause the Partnership to make regular cash distributions on a quarterly basis of all of the Partnership's Available Cash and, to the extent set forth in Section 5.3(b), cash distributions of Capital Transaction Proceeds and shall specify the Record Date for such distributions. All Available Cash shall be deemed distributed in any Fiscal Period prior to any distribution of Capital Transaction Proceeds. Any such amounts shall be distributed as soon as possible after the Record Date for such distribution and shall be divided among the Partners on the Record Date in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(b) Upon the occurrence in any Fiscal Period of any one or more Capital Transactions, the General Partner shall be required to make a cash distribution from the Capital Transaction proceeds in accordance with paragraph (i) hereinbelow and may, in its sole discretion, distribute additional Capital Transaction Proceeds in accordance with paragraph (ii) hereinbelow.

(i) The General Partner shall determine the net gain or loss recognized for federal income tax purposes from each Capital Transaction and shall then determine the portion of the net gain or net loss from each Capital Transaction allocable to all Limited Partners holding Units in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2. Once having done so, the General Partner shall aggregate the net gains and net losses allocable to Limited Partners holding Units (taking into account the character of any such gains and losses) to determine any "net capital gain" from such Capital Transactions (to the extent capital gains exceed capital losses from those Capital Transactions resulting in capital gains or losses) and any "net ordinary income" from such Capital Transactions (to the extent ordinary income exceeds ordinary losses from those Capital Transactions resulting in ordinary income or losses). The General Partner shall then divide the amount of any such "net capital gains" and "net ordinary income" by the number of the Outstanding Units, as of the date of such Capital Transaction and, solely for purposes hereof, attribute an equal amount of "net capital gain" and "net ordinary income" to each Outstanding Unit, as of such date. The General Partner shall then cause the Partnership to distribute Capital Transaction Proceeds to the Partners, in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, until an amount has been distributed pursuant hereto with respect to each Outstanding Unit equal to 125% of the federal income tax liability that would be due with respect to the "net capital gain" and "net ordinary income" attributed to each Outstanding Unit pursuant to the preceding sentence (assuming for such purpose that the maximum marginal federal income tax rates for individuals, relating to either long-term capital gain or ordinary income, whichever the case may be, applied to all holders of Units at the time of such recognition).

(ii) The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, cause the Partnership to distribute any or all of the remaining Capital Transaction Proceeds to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

ARTICLE VI

(b) Each of the Partners hereby approves, ratifies and confirms the execution, delivery and performance of the Deposit Agreement and agrees that the General Partner is authorized to execute, deliver and perform the other agreements, acts, transactions and matters contemplated therein on behalf of the Partnership without any further act, approval or vote of the Partners of the Partnership, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Delaware Act or any applicable law, rule or regulation. The participation by a General Partner in any agreement authorized or permitted by this Agreement shall not constitute a breach by such General Partner of any duty that it may owe the Partnership or the Limited Partners under this Agreement or applicable law.

(c) The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to obtain and maintain to the extent available on a commercially reasonable basis (i) casualty and liability insurance on the properties of the Partnership and (ii) liability insurance for the General Partners and the Indemnitees hereunder.

(d) The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to maintain Working Capital Reserves and Fixed Asset Reserves in such amounts as the General Partner deems appropriate and reasonable from time to time.

6.2 Certificate of Limited Partnership. The General Partner shall file a Certificate of Limited Partnership with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as required by the Delaware Act and shall cause to be filed such other certificates or documents as may be determined by the General Partner to be reasonable and necessary or appropriate for the formation, continuation, qualification and operation of a limited partnership (or a partnership in which limited partners have limited liability) in the State of Delaware or any other state in which the Partnership may elect to do business. To the extent that the General Partner in its sole discretion determines such action to be reasonable and necessary or appropriate, the General Partner shall file amendments to the Certificate of Limited Partnership and do all the things to maintain the Partnership a limited partnership (or a partnership in which limited partners have limited liability) under the laws of the State of Delaware or any other state in which the Partnership may elect to do business. Subject to the terms of Section 7.5(a), the General Partner shall not be required to deliver or mail a copy of the Certificate of Limited Partnership or any amendment thereto to any Limited Partner.

6.3 Reliance by Third Parties. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no lender, purchaser of property from the Partnership or other Person, shall be required to verify any representation by the General Partner as to the extent of the interest in the assets of the Partnership that the General Partner is entitled to encumber, sell or otherwise use, and any such lender, purchaser or other Person shall be entitled to rely exclusively on the representations of the General Partner as to its authority to enter into such financing or sale arrangements or other transactions and shall be entitled to deal with the General Partner as if it were the sole party in interest therein, both legally and beneficially. Each Limited Partner and Assignee hereby waives any and all defenses or other remedies that may be available against such lender, purchaser or other Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the General Partner in connection with any sale, financing or other transaction. In no event shall any Person dealing with the General Partner with respect to any business or property of the Partnership be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with, or to inquire into the necessity or expediency of any act of the General Partner; and every contract, agreement, deed, mortgage, security agreement, promissory note or other instrument or document executed by the General Partner with respect to any business or property of the Partnership shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (a) at the time of the execution and delivery thereof this Agreement was in full force and effect, (b) such instrument or document was duly executed in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Partnership, and (c) the General Partner was duly authorized and empowered to execute and deliver any and every such instrument or document for and on behalf of the Partnership.

6.4 Rights of General Partner as Limited Partner. A General Partner may acquire Units pursuant to Section 4.3 and shall be entitled to exercise all the rights of a Limited Partner with respect to such Units. The General Partner may cause the Partnership to purchase or otherwise acquire (or may purchase or otherwise acquire on behalf of the Partnership) Units. As long as such Units are held by the Partnership, such Units shall not be considered Outstanding for any purpose, except as otherwise provided herein.

6.5 Compensation and Reimbursement of General Partner. (a) Except as provided in this Section 6.5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the General Partner shall not be compensated for its services as general partner of the Partnership.

(b) The General Partner shall be reimbursed for all expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made in connection with the organization of the Partnership and the qualification of the Partnership and the General Partner to do business and any subsequent offerings of Units or other securities by the Partnership.

(c) The General Partner and any Affiliate thereof shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may determine in its sole discretion, for all direct and indirect expenses incurred or made on behalf of the Partnership (including amounts paid to any Person to perform services to the Partnership), including that portion of such General Partner's and Affiliate's internal legal and accounting costs and expenses, telephone, secretarial, bookkeeping, tax reporting, aircraft, travel and entertainment expenses, office rent and other office expenses, salaries and other compensation expenses of employees, officers and directors, other administrative expenses and other expenses necessary or appropriate to the conduct of the Partnership's and the General Partner's businesses and allocable to the Partnership or the activities of the General Partner in its capacity as general partner of the Partnership. The General Partner shall determine the expenses which are allocable to the Partnership in any reasonable manner. Such reimbursements shall be in addition to any reimbursement to the General Partner as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 6.9.

(d) The General Partner may propose and adopt customary and reasonable fringe benefit plans, including plans involving the issuance of Units of the Partnership for the benefit of employees, officers and directors of the General Partner or the Partnership or their Affiliates in respect of services performed or to be performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Partnership.

(b) The shareholders, directors, officers or members of the General Partner or the Partnership shall not compete with the Partnership, directly or indirectly, and the officers of such entities shall serve the General Partner or the Partnership on a full-time basis, but such shareholders, directors, officers or members shall be permitted to make any investments or engage in any outside activities not in contravention of this Section 6.6.

6.7 Partnership Funds. The funds of the Partnership shall be deposited in such account or accounts as are designated by the General Partner. The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, deposit funds of the Partnership in a central disbursing account maintained by or in the name of the General Partner in which funds of the General Partner are also deposited; provided that at all times books of account shall be maintained which show the amount of funds of the Partnership on deposit in such account. The General Partner may use the funds of the Partnership as compensating balances for its own benefit; provided that such funds shall not directly or indirectly secure, and shall not be otherwise at risk on account of, any indebtedness or other obligation of the General Partner or any partner, shareholder, director, officer, employee, member or agent of the General Partner or any Affiliate thereof. Nothing in this Section 6.7 shall be deemed to prohibit or limit in any manner the right of the Partnership to lend funds to the General Partner or any Affiliate thereof pursuant to Section 6.8(b). All withdrawals from or charges against such accounts shall be made by the General Partner or by its officers or agents. Funds of the Partnership may be invested as determined by the General Partner.

6.8 Loans to or from General Partners; Contracts with Affiliates. (a) A General Partner or any Affiliate thereof may lend to the Partnership funds needed by the Partnership for such period of time as the General Partner may determine; provided that a General Partner or such Affiliate may not charge the Partnership interest at a rate greater than the rate (including points or other financing charges or fees) that would be charged the Partnership (without reference to such General Partner's or Affiliate's financial abilities or guaranties) by unrelated lenders on comparable loans. The Partnership shall reimburse such General Partner or Affiliate for any costs incurred by it (other than interest charges incurred as a result of such borrowing) in connection with the borrowing of funds obtained by such General Partner or Affiliate and lent to the Partnership.

(b) With the approval or consent of a Majority Interest, the Partnership may lend funds to a General Partner or any Affiliate thereof; provided that the Partnership may not charge the General Partner or such Affiliate interest at a rate less than the rate (including points or other financing charges or fees) that would be charged such General Partner or Affiliate (without reference to other third parties' financial abilities or guaranties) by unrelated lenders on comparable loans.

(c) A General Partner may itself, or may enter into an agreement with an Affiliate of a General Partner to, render services for the Partnership. Any services rendered to the Partnership by such General Partner or Affiliate shall be on terms that are fair and reasonable to the Partnership. The provisions of Section 6.5 regarding reimbursement shall apply to services rendered pursuant to this Section 6.8(c).

(d) The Partnership may transfer assets to or lend funds to joint ventures, other partnerships, limited liability companies, corporations or other business entities in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions consistent with applicable law as the General Partner deems appropriate.

(e) Neither a General Partner nor any Affiliate thereof shall sell, transfer or convey any property to, or purchase any property from, the Partnership, directly or indirectly, except pursuant to transactions that are fair and reasonable to the Partnership.

6.9 Indemnification. (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which the Indemnitee may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise by reason of his or its management of the affairs of the Partnership, any subsidiary of the Partnership or a General Partner or his or its status as a General Partner, an Affiliate thereof, a partner, director, officer, employee, member or agent thereof or a Person serving at the request of the Partnership, a general partner or any Affiliate thereof in another entity in a similar capacity, which relates to or arises out of the Partnership, its property, business or affairs or the General Partner, their properties, businesses or affairs or any document filed with or submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission or any indemnification of underwriters given in connection therewith, regardless of whether the Indemnitee continues to be a General Partner, an Affiliate thereof or a partner, director, officer, employee, member or agent thereof or a director, officer, employee or agent of the Partnership at the time any such liability or expense is paid or incurred, and regardless of whether the liability or expense accrued at or relates to, in whole or in part, any time before, on or after the date hereof, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner it believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or its conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to such standard. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.9 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership and to the extent provided by the first sentence of this Section 6.9(a).

(b) An Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.9 with respect to any claim, issue or matter in which it has been adjudged liable for willful misconduct, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action was brought, or another court of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such liabilities and expenses as the court may deem proper.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Partnership prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Partnership of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 6.9.

(d) The indemnification provided by this Section 6.9 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, bylaw or vote of the Partners or as a matter of law or otherwise, both as to action in the Indemnitee's capacity as a General Partner, an Affiliate thereof or a partner, director, officer, employee, member or agent thereof and to action in any other capacity, shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of an Indemnitee.

(e) The General Partner and the Partnership shall purchase and maintain insurance, to the extent and in such amounts as shall be considered reasonable and commercially available, on behalf of Indemnitees and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine against any liability that may be asserted against or expense that may be incurred by such Person in connection with activities of the Partnership or such Indemnitees, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. The General Partner and the Partnership may enter into indemnity contracts with Indemnitees and adopt written procedures pursuant to which arrangements are made for the advancement of expenses and the funding of obligations under this Section 6.9 and containing such other procedures regarding indemnification as are appropriate.

(f) For purposes of this Section 6.9, the Partnership, the General Partner or any Affiliate thereof shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as a fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by him of his duties to the Partnership, the General Partner or such Affiliate also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, him to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan. Excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be deemed "fines" within the meaning of Section 6.9(a), and action taken or omitted by him with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of his duties for a purpose reasonably believed by him to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership.

(g) In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Limited Partners or Assignees to personal liability by reason of these indemnification provisions.

(h) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 6.9 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(i) The provisions of this Section 6.9 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees and their heirs, successors, assigns, administrators and personal representatives and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. The provisions of this Section 6.9 shall not be amended in any way that would adversely affect a General Partner without the consent of such General Partner.

6.10 Liability of General Partner. (a) Neither the General Partner, any Affiliate thereof, nor the partners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, members or agents thereof shall be liable for monetary damages to the Partnership, the Limited Partners, the Assignees or any Person who has acquired an interest in the Units, whether as a Limited Partner, an Assignee or otherwise, for errors in judgment or for breach of fiduciary duty (including breach of any duty of care or any duty of loyalty) as a General Partner, such Affiliate or a partner, shareholder, director, officer, employee, member or agent thereof unless it is proved by clear and convincing evidence that his or its action or failure to act involved an act or omission undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury to the Partnership or undertaken with reckless disregard for the best interests of the Partnership.

(b) The General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and may perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder directly or by or through its agents, and the General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by it in good faith.

In the absence of bad faith by a General Partner, the resolution, action or terms so made, taken or provided by a General Partner shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or therein.

(c) Whenever in this Agreement the General Partner is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its "sole discretion" or "discretion," with "complete discretion" or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the General Partner shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it deems appropriate and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any other interest of or factors affecting the Partnership, the Limited Partners or the Assignees or (ii) in its "good faith" or under another express standard, the General Partner shall act under such express standard. Each Limited Partner hereby agrees that any standard of care or duty imposed in the Delaware Act or any other applicable law, rule or regulation shall be modified, waived or limited in each case as required to permit the General Partner to act under this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein and to make any decision pursuant to the authority prescribed in this Section 6.11(c) so long as such action or decision is reasonably believed by the General Partner to be consistent with the overall purposes of the Partnership.

6.12 Other Matters Concerning General Partners. (a) A General Partner may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(b) A General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any opinion of any such Person as to matters which such General Partner believes to be within such Person's professional or expert competence shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by such General Partner hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.

6.13 Title to Partnership Assets. Title to Partnership assets, whether real, personal or mixed, tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Partnership as an entity, and no Partner or Assignee, individually or collectively, shall have any ownership interest in such Partnership assets or any portion thereof. Title to any or all of the Partnership assets may be held in the name of the Partnership, the General Partner or one or more nominees, as the General Partner may determine. The General Partner hereby declares and warrants that any Partnership assets for which legal title is held in the name of the General Partner shall be held in trust by the General Partner for the use and benefit of the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement. All Partnership assets shall be recorded as the property of the Partnership on its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Partnership assets is held.

12.2 Admission of Additional Limited Partners. (a) The transferee of a Person's Units shall have the right to seek admission as an Additional Limited Partner subject to the conditions of and in the manner permitted under this Agreement.

Such transferee shall become an Additional Limited Partner at such time as the General Partner consents thereto, which consent may be given or withheld in the General Partner's sole discretion, and when any such admission is shown on the books and records of the Partnership. If such consent is withheld, the transferee shall be an Assignee.

With respect to voting rights attributable to Units or Depositary Units that are held by Assignees, the General Partner shall be deemed to be the Limited Partner with respect thereto and shall, in exercising the voting rights in respect of such Units or Depositary Units on any matter, vote such Units or Depositary Units at the written direction of the Assignee who is the Record Holder of such Units or Depositary Units. If no such written direction is received, such Units or Depositary Units will not be voted. An Assignee shall have no other rights of a Limited Partner.

Withdrawal or Removal of Partners

13.1 Withdrawal or Removal of General Partner. (a) The General Partner covenants and agrees that it will not withdraw as the General Partner before December 31, 2082, subject to its right to transfer its Partnership Interest pursuant to Section 11.2. Except for transfers permitted by Section 11.2, any transfer by the General Partner of all of its Partnership Interest as the General Partner pursuant to Section 11.2 shall constitute the withdrawal of the General Partner for purposes of this Section 13.1(a). On or after December 31, 2082, the General Partner may withdraw from the Partnership upon 120 days advance written notice to the Limited Partners, except as otherwise provided herein. Such withdrawal shall take effect on the date specified in such notice. Any withdrawal of the General Partner shall not become effective unless the Partnership has received an Opinion of Counsel that such withdrawal, and the selection and admission of a successor General Partner, will not result in the loss of limited liability of any Limited Partner or cause the Partnership to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. If the General Partner gives a notice of withdrawal, a Majority Interest may, prior to or within 90 days after such notice of intent to withdraw, select a successor General Partner. If no successor General Partner is selected, the Partnership shall be dissolved pursuant to Section 14.1. If a successor General Partner is selected, it shall be admitted immediately prior to the withdrawal of the General Partner and shall continue the business and operations of the Partnership without dissolution.

(b) The General Partner may be removed only upon the affirmative votes of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests held by Limited Partners. Any such action for removal of the General Partner shall provide for the approval of a successor General Partner. Such removal shall be effective immediately after the selection of the successor General Partner pursuant to Article XII. The right to remove the General Partner shall not exist or be exercised unless the Partnership has received an Opinion of Counsel that such removal and the selection and admission of a successor General Partner will not result in the loss of limited liability of any Limited Partner or cause the partnership to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.

(c) Upon the withdrawal or removal of the General Partner under this Section 13.1, the Partnership shall distribute to such General Partner an amount of cash equal to the lesser of (A) the balance in its Unadjusted Capital Account or (B) the balance in its Capital Account (following the adjustment of such Capital Account in accordance with Section 4.5(d)); provided that, for purposes of the application of this Section 13.1(c)(i) only, a negative balance in either such Unadjusted Capital Account or such Capital Account shall be deemed to be zero. To the extent such Unadjusted Capital Account reflects the lesser balance, the Partnership shall be deemed to have distributed to the General Partner an amount of cash equal to the positive balance, if any, in its Capital Account, and the General Partner shall be deemed to have made a payment (as characterized under Section 707(a) of the Code) to the Partnership of a penalty for its withdrawal or removal in an amount equal to the excess of the positive balance, if any, in its Capital Account over the cash amount, if any, actually distributed.

13.2 Interest of Departing General Partner and Successor. A General Partner shall have no further interest in its Percentage Interest after its withdrawal or removal. The successor General Partner shall succeed to the Percentage Interest held by its predecessor.

13.3 Withdrawal of Limited Partners. No Limited Partner shall have any right to withdraw from the Partnership; provided that upon a transfer of a Limited Partners Units, upon the transferee's becoming a Record Holder, the transferring Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner with respect to the Units transferred, but until such transferee becomes a Record Holder, the transferor shall continue to be a Limited Partner. No Limited Partner shall be entitled to receive any distribution from the Partnership except as expressly set forth in Articles V and XIV.

13.4 Continuation of Partnership. Upon the withdrawal or removal of any General Partner, any successor or additional general partner and any remaining general partner is authorized to and shall carry on the business of the Partnership.

(a) [intentionally omitted];

(b) the removal of the General Partner, or any other event not specifically provided for herein that results in its ceasing to be the General Partner (other than by reason of a transfer pursuant to Section 11.2 or its withdrawal or removal followed by selection of a successor by a Majority Interest pursuant to Section 13.1);

(c) an election to dissolve the Partnership by the General Partner that is approved by the affirmative vote of a Majority Interest; or

(d) the bankruptcy or the dissolution of the General Partner;

provided that the Partnership shall not be dissolved upon an event described in Section 14.1(b) or (d) if within 90 days after such event, a Majority Interest agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to approve a successor General Partner.

For purposes of this Section 14.1, bankruptcy of a General Partner shall be deemed to have occurred when (u) it commences a voluntary proceeding, or files an answer in any involuntary proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect; (v) it is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or has entered against it a final and nonappealable order for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect; (w) it executes and delivers a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (x) it files an answer or other pleading admitting or failing to contest the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any proceeding of the nature described in clause (u); (y) it seeks, consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, receiver or liquidator for it or for all or any substantial part of its properties; or (z) (1) any proceeding of the nature described in clause (u) has not been dismissed one hundred twenty (120) days after the commencement thereof, (2) the appointment without its consent or acquiescence of a trustee, receiver or liquidator for it or all or any substantial part of its properties has not been vacated or stayed within ninety (90) days of such appointment or (3) such appointment is not vacated within ninety (90) days after the expiration of any such stay.

14.2 Continuation of Business of Partnership after Dissolution. Upon dissolution of the Partnership in accordance with Section 14.1(b) and a failure of all Partners to agree to continue the business of the Partnership and to approve a successor General Partner as provided in Section 14.1 or upon a dissolution of the Partnership in accordance with Section 14.1(d), then within an additional ninety (90) days, a Majority Interest may elect to reconstitute the Partnership and to continue its business on the same terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement by forming a new partnership on terms identical to those set forth in this Agreement and having as its General Partner a Person elected by a Majority Interest. Upon any such election by a Majority Interest, all Partners shall be bound thereby and shall be deemed to have consented thereto. Unless such an election is made within one hundred eighty (180) days after dissolution, the Partnership shall conduct only activities necessary to wind up its affairs. If such an election is made within one hundred eighty (180) days after dissolution, then:

(a) the reconstituted Partnership shall continue until the end of the term set forth in Section 1.5 unless earlier dissolved in accordance with this Article XIV;

(b) if the successor General Partner is not the former General Partner, then Section 13.1(c) shall apply; and

(c) to the extent required by law, all necessary steps shall be taken to cancel this Agreement and the Certificate of Limited Partnership and to enter into a new partnership agreement and certificate of limited partnership, and the successor General Partner may for this purpose exercise the powers of attorney granted in Section 1.4;

provided that the right of a Majority Interest to select a successor General Partner and to reconstitute and continue the business of the Partnership shall not exist and may not be exercised unless the Partnership has received an Opinion of Counsel that the exercise of the right would not result in the loss of limited liability of any Limited Partner or cause either the Partnership or the reconstituted Partnership to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.

14.3 Liquidation. Upon dissolution of the Partnership, unless the Partnership is continued under an election to reconstitute and continue the Partnership pursuant to Section 14.2, the Liquidator shall liquidate the Partnership. The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall be entitled to receive such compensation for its services as may be approved by a Majority Interest. The Liquidator shall agree not to resign at any time without 15 days prior written notice and (if other than the General Partner) may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by notice of removal approved by a Majority Interest. Upon dissolution, removal or resignation of the Liquidator, a successor and substitute Liquidator (who shall have and succeed to all rights, powers and duties of the original Liquidator) shall within thirty (30) days thereafter be approved by a Majority Interest. The right to appoint a successor or substitute Liquidator in the manner provided herein shall be recurring and continuing for so long as the functions and services of the Liquidator are authorized to continue under the provisions hereof, and every reference herein to the Liquidator shall be deemed to refer also to any such successor or substitute Liquidator appointed in the manner herein provided. Except as expressly provided in this Article XIV, the Liquidator approved in the manner provided herein shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or approval of any of the parties hereto, all of the powers conferred upon the General Partner under the terms of this Agreement (but subject to all of the applicable limitations, contractual and otherwise, upon the exercise of such powers, other than the limitation on sale set forth in Article X) to the extent necessary or desirable in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator to carry out its duties and functions hereunder for and during such period of time as shall be reasonably required in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator to complete the winding up and liquidation of the Partnership as provided herein. The Liquidator shall liquidate the assets of the Partnership and shall apply and distribute the proceeds of such liquidation in the following order of priority, unless otherwise required by applicable law:

(a) to the payment of creditors of the Partnership, including Partners and the General Partner in respect of any expenses payable pursuant to Section 6.5 hereof, in order of priority provided by law and to the creation of a reserve of cash or other assets of the Partnership for contingent liabilities in an amount, if any, determined by the Liquidator to be appropriate for such purposes; and

(b) to the Partners in accordance with the positive balances in their respective Combined Capital Accounts.

14.4 Distribution in Kind. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.3 which require the liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if upon dissolution of the Partnership the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the assets of the Partnership would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may, in its absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership and may, in its absolute discretion, distribute to the Partners, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.3(b), undivided interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in kind shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. In addition, in the event the Partnership has not satisfied any or all of its recourse liabilities, the Liquidator shall (i) cause the General Partner to assume any such recourse liabilities not satisfied by the Partnership and (ii) designate specific assets (selecting first from among current assets) to be distributed to the General Partner (before any distribution is made pursuant to Section 14.3(b)) in an amount of cash or of property having a fair market value (based on independent appraisals to the extent reasonable) determined by the Liquidator to have been the amount necessary to satisfy such recourse liabilities if satisfied by the Partnership. The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in kind pursuant to this Section 14.4 using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

14.5 Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership. Upon the completion of the distribution of partnership property as provided in Sections 14.3 and 14.4, the Partnership shall be terminated, and the Liquidator (or any of the Partners, if necessary) shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate of Limited Partnership and all formations and qualifications of the Partnership in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership.

14.6 Reasonable Time for Winding Up. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Partnership and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 14.3 in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up.

14.7 Return of Capital. No General Partner shall be personally liable for the return of the Capital Contributions of the Limited Partners, or any portion thereof. Any such return shall be made solely from Partnership assets.

14.8 Capital Account Restoration. No Limited Partner shall have an obligation to restore a negative Capital Account balance.

14.9 Waiver of Partition. Each Partner hereby waives any right to partition of the Partnership property.

ARTICLE XV

Amendment of Partnership Agreement; Meetings; Record Date

15.1 Amendments to be Adopted Solely by General Partner. The General Partner (pursuant to its powers of attorney from the Partners), without the consent of any other Partner or Assignee, may amend any provision of this Agreement, and execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file and record whatever documents may be required in connection therewith, to reflect:

(a) the admission or substitution of Partners in accordance with this Agreement;

(b) a change that the General Partner in its sole discretion has determined to be reasonable and necessary or appropriate to form, qualify or continue the qualification of the Partnership as a limited partnership or a partnership in which limited partners have limited liability under the laws of any state or that is necessary or advisable in the opinion of the General Partner to ensure that the Partnership will not be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes;

(c) a change (i) that in the sole discretion of the General Partner does not adversely affect the Limited Partners in any material respect, (ii) that is necessary or desirable to satisfy any requirements, conditions or guidelines contained in any opinion, directive, order, ruling or regulation of any federal or state agency or judicial authority or contained in any federal or state statute or that is necessary or desirable to facilitate the trading of the Depositary Units (including, without limitation, the division of Outstanding Units into different classes in order to facilitate uniformity of tax consequences within such classes of Units) or to comply with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any securities exchange on which the Depositary Units are or will be listed for trading, compliance with any of which the General Partner deems to be in the best interests of the Partnership and the Limited Partners, or (iii) that is required or contemplated by this Agreement;

(d) an amendment that is necessary, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, to prevent the Partnership, any General Partner or its partners, directors or officers from in any manner being subjected to the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 or plan asset regulations adopted under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, whether or not substantially similar to plan asset regulations currently applied or proposed by the United States Department of Labor;

(e) an amendment that in the sole discretion of the General Partner is necessary or desirable in connection with the authorization for issuance of any class or series of Units pursuant to Section 4.3(a);

(f) an amendment proposed by the General Partner in accordance with Section 5.2(f); or

(g) any other amendments similar to the foregoing.

15.2 Amendment Procedures. Except as provided in Sections 15.1 and 15.3, all amendments to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with the following requirements. Amendments of this Agreement may be proposed by the General Partner or by the Record Holders of ten percent (10%) of the Outstanding Units. If an amendment is proposed, the General Partner shall seek the written approval of the requisite Percentage Interest or call a meeting of the Limited Partners to consider and vote on such proposed amendment. A proposed amendment shall be effective upon its approval by the General Partner and by a Majority Interest unless a greater Percentage Interest is required by this Agreement. The General Partner shall notify all Partners upon final adoption of any proposed amendment.

15.3 Amendment Requirements. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 15.1 and 15.2, the approval of the General Partner and at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the aggregate Percentage Interest held by Limited Partners shall be required for any amendment unless the Partnership has received an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment would not result in the loss of limited liability of any Limited Partner or cause the Partnership to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 15.1 and 15.2, no provision of this Agreement which establishes a Percentage Interest required to take any action shall be amended, altered, changed, repealed or rescinded in any respect which would have the effect of reducing such voting requirements, unless such is approved by written consent or the affirmative vote of Partners whose aggregate Percentage Interest constitutes not less than the voting requirement sought to be reduced. This Section 15.3(b) shall be amended only with the approval by written consent or affirmative vote of Partners whose aggregate Percentage Interest constitutes at least 85% of the aggregate Percentage Interest of the Partners.

(c) The voting requirements in this Section 15.3 shall be in addition to voting requirements imposed by the other provisions contained herein.

15.4 Meetings. All acts of Limited Partners to be taken hereunder shall be taken in the manner provided in this Article XV. Meetings of the Limited Partners may be called by the General Partner or by Limited Partners owning at least ten percent (10%) of the aggregate Percentage Interest held by Limited Partners. Any Limited Partner calling a meeting shall specify the number of Units as to which he is exercising the right to call a meeting, and only the specified Units shall be counted for the purpose of determining whether such standard has been met. Limited Partners shall call a meeting by delivering to the General Partner one or more calls in writing stating that the signing Limited Partners wish to call a meeting and indicating the general or specific purposes for which the meeting is to be called. Within ten (10) days after receipt of such a call from Limited Partners or within such greater time as may be reasonably necessary for the Partnership to comply with any statutes, rules, regulations, or similar requirements governing the holding of a meeting or the solicitation of proxies for use at such a meeting, the General Partner shall send a notice of the meeting to the Limited Partners. A meeting shall be held at a time and place determined by the General Partner on a date not more than thirty (30) days after the mailing of notice of the meeting. Each Limited Partner shall have one vote for each Unit of which he is a Record Holder on the Record Date for such vote, and may cast such vote in person or by proxy. Limited Partners shall not vote on matters that would cause the Limited Partners to be deemed to be taking part in the management and control of the business and affairs of the Partnership so as to subject the Limited Partners to unlimited liability.

15.5 Notice of a Meeting. Notice of a meeting called pursuant to Section 15.4 shall be given to the Record Holders in writing either personally or by mail or other means of written communication in accordance with Section 16.1. The notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent by other means of written communication.

15.6 Record Date. For purposes of determining the Limited Partners entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Limited Partners or to give approval without a meeting as provided in Section 15.11, the General Partner may set a Record Date, which shall not be less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting (unless such requirement conflicts with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any stock exchange on which the Depositary Units are listed for trading, in which case the rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of such stock exchange shall govern).

15.7 Adjournment. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting and a new Record Date need not be fixed, if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless such adjournment shall be for more than thirty (30) days. At the adjourned meeting, the Partnership may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or if a new Record Date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in accordance with this Article XV.

15.8 Waiver of Notice; Consent to Meeting; Approval of Minutes. The transactions of any meeting of Limited Partners, however called and noticed, and whenever held, are as valid as though a meeting were duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the Limited Partners entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. All waivers, consents and approvals shall be filed with the Partnership records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Attendance of a Limited Partner at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting, except when the Limited Partner objects, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened; provided that attendance at a meeting shall not be a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters required to be included in the notice of the meeting, but not so included, if the objection is expressly made at the meeting.

15.9 Quorum. A Majority Interest represented in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of Limited Partners. Notwithstanding anything elsewhere provided in this Agreement to the contrary, the Limited Partners shall be entitled to vote on, consent to or approve of matters only as provided in Sections 4.3, 11.2, 13.1, 13.2, 14.1, 14.2, 14.3, 15.2, 15.3, 15.4 and 15.11 and Article X and as submitted to them by the General Partner. At any meeting of the Limited Partners duly called and held in accordance with this Agreement at which a quorum is present, the act of a Majority Interest shall be deemed to constitute the act of all Limited Partners, unless a higher percentage is required under this Agreement. The Limited Partners present at a duly called meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Limited Partners to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by the requisite Percentage Interest specified in this Agreement. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of Limited Partners may be adjourned from time to time by the affirmative vote of a Majority Interest represented either in person or by proxy but no other business may be transacted, except as provided in Section 15.7.

15.10 Conduct of Meeting. The General Partner shall have full power and authority concerning the manner of conducting any meeting of the Limited Partners or solicitation of approvals in writing, including, without limitation, the determination of Persons entitled to vote, the existence of a quorum, the satisfaction of the requirements of Section 15.4, the conduct of voting, the validity and effect of any proxies and the determination of any controversies, votes or challenges arising in connection with or during the meeting or voting. The General Partner shall designate a Person to serve as chairman of any meeting and shall further designate a Person to take the minutes of any meeting, in either case including, without limitation, a Partner or a director or officer of the General Partner. All minutes shall be kept with the records of the Partnership maintained by the General Partner. The General Partner may make such other regulations consistent with applicable law and this Agreement as it may deem advisable concerning the conduct of any meeting of the Limited Partners or solicitation of approvals in writing, including regulations in regard to the appointment of proxies, the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes and approvals, the submission and examination of proxies and other evidence of the right to vote and the revocation of approvals in writing.

15.11 Action Without a Meeting. Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Limited Partners may be taken without a meeting if an approval in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by Partners owning not less than the minimum Percentage Interest that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all the Partners were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Limited Partners who have not approved in writing. The General Partner may specify that any written ballot submitted to Limited Partners for the purpose of taking any action without a meeting shall be returned to the Partnership within the time, not less than twenty (20) days, specified by the General Partner. If a ballot returned to the Partnership does not vote all of the Units held by the Limited Partner, the Partnership shall be deemed to have failed to receive a ballot for the Units which were not voted. If approvalof the taking of any action by the Limited Partner is solicited by any Person other than by or on behalf of the General Partner, the written approvals shall have no force and effect unless and until (a) they are deposited with the Partnership in care of the General Partner, (b) approvals sufficient to take the action proposed are dated as of a date not more than ninety (90) days prior to the date sufficient approvals are deposited with the Partnership and (c) an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the General Partner to the effect that the exercise of such right and the action proposed to be taken with respect to any particular matter (i) will not cause the Limited Partners to be deemed to be taking part in the management and control of the business and affairs of the Partnership so as to subject the Limited Partners to unlimited liability, (ii) will not cause the Partnership to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes and (iii) is otherwise permissible under the state statutes then governing the rights, duties and liabilities of the Partnership and the Partners.

15.12 Voting Rights. (a) Only those Record Holders of Units on the Record Date set pursuant to Section 15.6 shall be entitled to notice of, and, subject to Section 12.2(a), to vote at, a meeting of Limited Partners or to act with respect to matters as to which approvals are solicited or required under this Agreement. With respect to voting rights attributable to Units that are held by Assignees, the General Partner shall be deemed to be the Limited Partner with respect thereto and shall, in exercising the voting rights in respect of Units on any matter, vote such Units at the direction of the Assignee.

(b) With respect to Units that are held for a Person's account by another Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company, clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing) in whose name such Units are registered, such representative Person shall, in exercising the voting rights in respect of such Units on any matter, and unless the arrangement between such Persons provides otherwise, vote such Units in favor of and at the direction of the Person for whom he holds, and the Partnership shall be entitled to assume he is so acting without further inquiry.

(c) If a General Partner is also a Limited Partner, it may vote its Percentage Interest, including such Percentage Interest represented by Units on any matter submitted to the Limited Partners for consideration in such manner as it in its sole discretion shall determine.

Any notice to the Partnership shall be deemed given if received by the General Partner at the principal office of the Partnership designated pursuant to Section 1.3.
