(c)                                  Except as provided in Section 4.3(a) hereof, if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership taxable year, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(3), then, except as provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), each Partner who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), will be allocated items of income and gain for such Partnership taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent Partnership taxable years) equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain.  The items to be allocated will be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(j)(2).  This Section 4.3(c) is intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) and will be applied and interpreted in accordance with such Regulation.

(d)                                 Any item of Partnership loss, deduction or expenditure under Code Section 705(a)(2)(b) attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt will be allocated in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss for such Partner Nonrecourse Debt.

(e)                                  In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) resulting in an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for such Partner, items of income and gain will be specially allocated to such Partner in any amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible.  The items to be allocated will be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6).  This Section 4.3(e) is intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and will be applied and interpreted in accordance with such Regulation.

(f)                                    No items of loss or deduction will be allocated to any Partner to the extent that any such allocation would cause the Partner to have an, or increase the amount of an existing, Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Partnership taxable year.  All items of loss or deduction in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 4.3(f) will be allocated among such other Partners which do not have Adjusted Capital Account Deficit balances, pro rata, in proportion to their Percentage Interests, until no Partner may be allocated any further items of loss or deduction without creating or increasing an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.  Thereafter, any remaining items of loss or deduction will be allocated to the Partners, pro rata, in proportion to their relative aggregate Capital Contributions made prior to the last day of the period to which the loss or deduction relates.

(g)                                 In the event any Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Partnership taxable year, each such Partner will be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Partnership income and gain) to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.3(g) will be made to a Partner if and only to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article IV have been tentatively made.

12

(h)                                 To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Property pursuant to Sections 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts will be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss will be specially allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations.

4.4.                              Curative Allocations.

(a)                                  The “Regulatory Allocations” consist of the “Basic Regulatory Allocations,” as defined in Section 4.4(b) hereof, the “Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations,” as defined in Section 4.4(c) hereof, and the “Partner Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations,” as defined in Section 4.4(d) hereof.

(b)                                 The “Basic Regulatory Allocations” consist of allocations pursuant to Sections 4.3(e), 4.3(f), 4.3(g) and 4.3(h) hereof.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, other than the Regulatory Allocations, the Basic Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Partners so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of the Basic Regulatory Allocations and such other items to each Partner shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Partner as if the Basic Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.  For purposes of applying the foregoing sentence, allocations pursuant to this Section 4.4(b) shall only be made with respect to allocations pursuant to Section 4.3(h) hereof to the extent the Managing General Partner reasonably determines that such allocations will otherwise be inconsistent with the economic agreement among the parties to this Agreement.

(c)                                  The “Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations” consist of all allocations pursuant to Sections 4.3(a) hereof.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, other than the Regulatory Allocations, the Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Partners so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of the Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations and such other items to each Partner shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Partner if the Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.  For purposes of applying the foregoing sentence, no allocations pursuant to this Section 4.4(c) shall be made prior to the Partnership taxable year during which there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, and then only to the extent necessary to avoid any potential economic distortions caused by such net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain.

(d)                                 The “Partner Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations” consist of all allocations pursuant to Sections 4.3(c) and 4.3(d) hereof.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, other than the Regulatory Allocations, the Partner Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Partners so that, to the extent possible, the

13

net amount of such allocations of the Partner Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations and such other items to each Partner shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Partner if the Partner Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.  For purposes of applying the foregoing sentence (i) no allocations pursuant to this Section 4.4(d) shall be made with respect to allocations pursuant to Section 4.3(c) relating to a particular Partner Nonrecourse Debt prior to the Partnership taxable year during which there. is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, and then only to the extent necessary to avoid any potential economic distortions caused by such net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain, and (ii) allocations pursuant to this Section 4.4(d) shall be deferred with respect to allocations pursuant to Section 4.3(d) hereof relating to a particular Partner Nonrecourse Debt to the extent the Managing General Partner reasonably determines that such allocations are likely to be offset by subsequent allocations pursuant to Section 4.3(c) hereof.

(e)                                  The Managing General Partner shall have reasonable discretion, with respect to each Partnership taxable year, to (i) apply the provisions of Sections 4.4(b), 4.4(c) and 4.4(d) hereof in whatever order is likely to minimize the economic distortions that might otherwise result from the Regulatory Allocations and (ii) divide all allocations pursuant to Sections 4.4(b), 4.4(c) and 4.4(d) hereof among the Partners in a manner that is likely to minimize such economic distortions.

4.5.                              Other Allocation Rules.

(a)                                  For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by the Managing General Partner using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

(b)                                 For purposes of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Partners agree that Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership in excess of the sum of (i) the amount of Partnership Minimum Gain and (ii) the total amount of built-in gain (as defined in Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(2)) shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(c)                                  In the event Interests are transferred in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII hereof during any taxable year, the distributive share of Partnership income, gain, loss and deductions attributable to such transferred Interests for that taxable year shall be apportioned between the transferor Partner and the person to whom the Interest is transferred (the “Transferee”) in proportion to the number of days during such taxable year that each was the owner of the Interests transferred, but subject to the constraints and limitations imposed by Code Section 706.  Distributions with respect to Interests transferred shall be made only to Partners of record on a date designated by the Managing General Partner as the date of such distribution.

14

4.6.                              Tax Allocations; Code Section 704(c).

(a)                                  In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, solely for income tax purposes, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership (including income, gain, loss and deduction determined with respect to the alternative minimum tax) shall, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes (including such adjusted basis for alternative minimum tax purposes) and its initial Gross Asset Value, including, but not limited to, special allocations to a contributing Partner that are required under Code Section 704(c) to be made upon distribution, of such property to any of the non-contributing Partners.

(b)                                 In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to paragraph (ii) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value” contained herein, solely for federal income tax purposes, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset (including income, gain, loss and deduction determined with respect to the alternative minimum tax) will take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset (including such adjusted basis for alternative minimum tax purposes) and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.

(c)                                  Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations under this Section 4.6, including the selection of any allocation method permitted under Regulations Section 1.704-3, will be made as approved by the Managing General Partner in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.6, all items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will for tax purposes be divided among the Partners in the same manner as they share correlative Profits, Losses or Partnership items of income, gain, loss or deduction, as the case may be, for the taxable year.  Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.6 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and will not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses or other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

(d)                                 If any taxable item of income or gain is computed differently from the taxable item of income or gain which results for purposes of the alternative minimum tax, then to the extent possible, without changing the overall allocations of items for purposes of either the Partners’ Capital Accounts or the regular income tax (i) each Partner will be allocated items of taxable income or gain for alternative minimum tax purposes taking into account the prior allocations of originating tax preferences or alternative minimum tax adjustments to such Partner (and its predecessors) and (ii) other Partnership items of income or gain for alternative minimum tax purposes of the same character that would have been recognized, but for the originating tax preferences or alternative minimum tax adjustments, will be allocated away from those Partners that are allocated amounts pursuant to clause (i) so that, to the extent possible, the other Partners are allocated the same amount, and type, of alternative minimum tax income and gain that would have

15

been allocated to them had the originating tax preferences or alternative minimum tax adjustments not occurred.

(e)                                  If any portion of gain recognized from the disposition of property by the Partnership represents the “recapture” of previously allocated deductions by virtue of the application of Code Section 1245 or 1250 (“Recapture Gain”), such Recapture Gain will be allocated as follows:

First, to the Partners, pro rata, in proportion to the lesser of each Partner’s (i) allocable share of the total gain recognized from the disposition of such Partnership property and (ii) share of depreciation or amortization with respect to such property (as determined under Proposed Treasury Regulation section 1.1245-1(e)(2)), until each such Partner has been allocated Recapture Gain equal to such lesser amount; and

Second, the balance of Recapture Gain will be allocated among the Partners whose allocable shares of total gain exceed their shares of depreciation or amortization with respect to such property (as determined under Proposed Treasury Regulation section 1.1245-1(e)(2)), in proportion to their shares of total gain (including Recapture Gain) from the disposition of such property;

provided, however, that no Partner will be allocated Recapture Gain under this Section 4.6(e) in excess of the total gain allocated to such Partner from such disposition.

ARTICLE V
DISTRIBUTIONS

5.1.                              Distributions of Available Cash Flow.  Except as otherwise provided in Article IX hereof, Available Cash Flow, if any, shall be distributed, at such times as the Managing General Partner may determine to be appropriate, to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

5.2.                              Withholding.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Tax Matters Partner is authorized to take any action that it determines to be necessary or appropriate to cause the Partnership to comply with any withholding requirements established under any federal, state or local tax law, including, without limitation, withholding on any distribution to any Partner.  For all purposes of this Article V, any amount withheld on any distribution and paid over to the appropriate governmental body shall be treated as if such amount had, in fact, been distributed to the Partner.

(a)                                  December 31, 2047;

(b)                                 the sale of all or substantially all of the Property;

(c)                                  the unanimous agreement of all Partners;

(d)                                 the happening of any other event that makes it unlawful, impossible or impractical to carry on the business of the Partnership; or

(e)                                  an event of dissolution required under the Act.  The Partners hereby agree that, notwithstanding any provision of the Act or the Illinois Uniform Partnership Act, the Partnership shall not dissolve prior to the occurrence of a Liquidating Event.  Furthermore, if an event specified in Section 9.1(e) hereof occurs, the remaining Partners may, within ninety (90) days of the date such event occurs, unanimously vote to elect a successor General Partner (if necessary) and continue the Partnership business, in which case the Partnership shall not dissolve and the occurrence of the event under Section 9.1(e) shall not be deemed a Liquidating Event.  The Partners further agree that in the event the Partnership is dissolved prior to a Liquidating Event, the Partnership may be continued upon the unanimous vote of the existing Partners at such time to so continue the Partnership, provided such vote occurs within thirty (30) days of the event triggering such dissolution.

9.2.                              Winding Up.  Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Partnership shall continue solely for the purpose of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Partners.  No Partner shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Partnership’s business and affairs.  The Managing General Partner (or, in the event there is no Managing General Partner, the other Partners or any Person elected by a majority of the other Partners) shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership and shall take full account of the Partnership’s liabilities and the Partnership Property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom, to the extent sufficient, shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

(a)                                  First, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to creditors other than Partners;

21

(b)                                 Second, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to Partners; and

(c)                                  The balance, if any, to the General Partners and Limited Partners in accordance with their respective Capital Accounts, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all periods.

9.3.                              Liquidating Trust.  In the discretion of the Managing General Partner (or such other Person responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership), a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the General Partners and Limited Partners pursuant to this Article IX may be:

(a)                                  distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the General Partners and the Limited Partners, provided such trust is a liquidating trust or a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes, for the purpose of liquidating Partnership assets, collecting amounts owed to the Partnership and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or of the Partners arising out of or in connection with the Partnership.  The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the General Partners and the Limited Partners from time to time at such times and in such amounts as determined, in the reasonable discretion of the Managing General Partner (or such other Person responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership), to be appropriate in the same proportions as the amount distributed to such trust by the Partnership would otherwise have been distributed to the General Partners and the Limited Partners pursuant to this Agreement; or

(b)                                 withheld to provide a reasonable reserve for Partnership liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Partnership, provided that such withheld amounts shall be distributed to the General Partners and the Limited Partners as soon as practicable.
