(i) All fees and other expenses incurred by the Partnership to promote the sale of (or to sell) any interest that can neither be deducted nor amortized under section 709 of the Code, if any, shall, for purposes of Capital Account maintenance, be treated as an item of deduction at the time such fees and other expenses are incurred and shall be allocated among the Partners pursuant to Section 5.2.

(ii) Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation section 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 which may be made by the Partnership and, as to those items described in section 705(a)(1)(B) or 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, without regard to the fact that such items are not includable in gross income or are neither currently deductible nor capitalized for federal income tax purposes.

property were equal to the carrying value of such property immediately following such adjustment and (B) using a rate of depreciation cost recovery or amortization derived from the same method and useful life (or, if applicable, the remaining useful life) as is applied for federal income tax purposes; provided, however, that if the asset has a zero adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes, depreciation, cost recovery or amortization deductions shall be determined using any reasonable method that the Managing Partner may adopt.

Section 5.3 Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, if there is a net decrease in Partnership minimum gain during any Partnership fiscal year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership minimum gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-1(j)(2) of the Regulations. This Section 5.3(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-1(f) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-1(i)(4) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, if there is a net decrease in Partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain attributable to a Partner nonrecourse debt during any Partnership fiscal year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain attributable to such Partner nonrecourse debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.7042(i)(5) of the Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain attributable to such Partner nonrecourse debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Regulations. This Section 5.3(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse deductions for any fiscal year shall be specially allocated among the Partners in proportion to their Partnership interests.

(d) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner nonrecourse deductions for any fiscal year shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner nonrecourse debt to which such Partner nonrecourse deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

(e) Code Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Partner in complete liquidation of his interest in the Partnership, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall 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 shall be specially allocated to the Partners in accordance with their interests in the Partnership in the event Regulations Section 1.704I (b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Partners to whom such distribution was made in the event Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

(f) Allocations Relating to Taxable Issuance of Partnership Interests. Any income, gain, loss, or deduction realized as a direct or indirect result of the issuance of an interest in the Partnership to a Partner (the “Issuance Items”) shall be allocated among the Partners so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such Issuance Items, together with all other allocations under this Agreement to each Partner, shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Partner if the Issuance Items had not been realized.

Section 5.4 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 5.3(a), 5.3(b), 5.3(c), 5.3(d) and 5.3(e) hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 5_4. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Managing Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction in whatever manner he determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocation are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2 hereof. In exercising his discretion under this Section 5.4, the Managing Partner shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 5.3(a) and 5.3(b) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Section 5.3(c) and 5.3(d).

Section 5.5 Other Allocation Rules.

(a) The Partners are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article V and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article V in reporting their shares of Partnership income and loss for income tax purposes.

(b) 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 Partner using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

(c) Solely for purposes of determining a Partners’ proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership, within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Partners’ interests in Partnership profits are in proportion to their Partnership interests.

(d) To the extent permitted by Section 1.704-2(h)(3) of the Regulations, the Managing Partner shall endeavor not to treat distributions of net cash from operations or net cash from sales or refinancing as having been made from the proceeds of a nonrecourse liability or a Partner nonrecourse debt.

Section 5.6 Tax Allocations. Code Section 704(c). In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, 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 and its initial gross asset value.

In the event the gross asset value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its gross asset value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.

Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Managing Partner in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.6 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account, in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of profits, losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

Section 5.7 Withdrawal of Profits. If the Managing Partner determines that the capital or cash flow requirements of the Partnership prohibit the immediate distribution of quarterly profits, such profits will remain in the Partner Capital Accounts until later approval for distribution by the Managing Partner.

Section 5.8 Tax Allocations. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.8 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of profits, losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

Section 5.9 Computation and Determination. The Managing Partner may rely upon, and shall have no liability to the other Partners or the Partnership if it relies upon, the advice of the independent public accountants retained by the Partnership from time to time with respect to all matters relating to computations and determinations required to be made under this Article V.

Section 5.10 Partnership Books. The Partnership’s books will be maintained in the business office of the Partnership or in the office of its accountants and during reasonable business hours will be available for inspection by the Partners for a proper purpose.

(a) Neither the Managing Partner, its Affiliates nor its agents shall be liable to any Person (including Persons who have acquired interests in the Partnership), whether as Partners, assignees or otherwise, for errors in judgment or for any acts or omissions that do not constitute gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud.

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

Section 6.4 Indemnification of the Managing Partner. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the Managing Partner and its agents, and any Person who is or was serving at the request of the Partnership acting through the Managing Partner as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (individually, as “Indemnitee”), as follows:

(a) In any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to which the Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that such Indemnitee is or was the Managing Partner or a Person serving at the request of the Partnership in another entity in a similar capacity, involving an alleged cause of action arising from the activities of the Managing Partner or such person under this Agreement or from the management of the affairs of the Partnership, or which relates to the Partnership, its property, business or affairs, the Partnership shall indemnify such Indemnitee against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, penalties, excise and similar taxes, fines, and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense and/or settlement of such action, suit or proceeding, if (i) such Indemnitee was successful upon the merits, or otherwise, in defending any such action, suit or proceeding or (ii) such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by such Indemnitee to be (in the case of conduct in the person’s official capacity on behalf of the Partner) in, or (i.e. all other cases) not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership, and provided that the Indemnitee’s conduct did not constitute gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the Indemnitee did not have reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful; provided further that if the Indemnitee is found liable to the Partnership or the other Partner or is found liable on the basis that the Indemnitee improperly received personal benefit, the indemnification (A) shall be limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the proceeding, and (B) shall not be made in relation to a proceeding in which the Indemnitee has been found liable for willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud in the performance of such Person’s duty to the Partnership or the other Partner. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that an Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by such Indemnitee to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership. An Indemnitee is considered to have been found liable in relation to any claim, issue or matter only if the person has been adjudged liable by a court of competent jurisdiction and all appeals have been exhausted. The Partnership shall also provide such indemnification in any action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Partnership to procure a judgment in its favor, provided that if in such action, suit or proceeding the Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable for gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud, such indemnification shall be provided only if, and only to the extent that, the court in which such action, suit or proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

(b) Expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in defending any proceeding subject to subsection (a) of this Section 6.4, shall be paid by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding in accordance with the provisions of the Act and upon receipt of a written affirmation of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that it has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification hereunder and an undertaking (which need not be secured) by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined, by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Partnership as authorized hereunder.

(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 6.4 shall be in addition to any other rights to which each Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement between the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, both as to any act or action in the Indemnitee’s capacity as Managing Partner or as a Person serving at the request of the Partnership as set forth above and to any act or action in another capacity, and 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, administrators and personal representatives of the Indemnitee.

(d) The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any one or more Indemnitee’s and other such Persons as the Managing Partner shall determine against any liability which may be asserted against or expense which may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities, whether or not the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.4 are for the benefit of the Indemnitee’s 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.

ARTICLE VII

TRANSFER OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

Section 7.1 Transfer; Withdrawal.

(a) The term “transfer,” when used in this Article with respect to a Partnership Percentage Interest, shall be deemed to refer to a transaction by which any Partner assigns all or any part of its Partnership interests to another Person, and includes a sale, assignment, gift, pledge, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange or any other disposition.

(b) No Partnership interests shall be transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article VII. Any transfer or purported transfer of any Interest not made in accordance with this Article VII shall be null and void ab initio.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no Partner shall be entitled to withdraw from the Partnership as partner or to withdraw any amount from its Capital Account.

Section 7.2 Restrictions on Transfers of Partnership interests.

(a) No Partner may transfer all or any portion of its Partnership interest, other than to an Affiliate of such Partner, without the consent of the other Partner, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the other Partner.

(b) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article VII, no transfer of the Partnership interests of any Partner shall be made if such transfer (i) would violate the then applicable federal and state securities laws or rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission or any other governmental authorities with jurisdiction over such transfer, (ii) would result in the Partnership ceasing to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes or (iii) would affect the Partnership’s existence (whether for purposes of federal or state income tax, including Section 708 of the Code, or under the Act) or qualification as a partnership under the Act.

Section 7.3 Substituted Partners. Any transferee of the Partnership interests of any Partner, or any portion thereof if not prohibited hereunder, shall become a substituted partner entitled to all the rights of a Partner, if, and only if

(a) such transfer has been effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the transferor has granted the transferee such right;

(b) the transferor pays to the Partnership all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such substitution, including without limitation costs incurred in making any required filings; and

(c) the transferor executes and delivers such instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to the Managing Partner, as the Managing Partner may deem necessary or desirable to effect such substitution and to confirm the agreement of the transferee to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

The Partnership and the Managing Partner shall be entitled to treat the Person whose name appears on the records of the Partnership as the absolute owner of a Partnership interests in all respects, and shall incur no liability for distributions of cash or other property made in good faith to such record owner until such time as a written assignment of such Partnership interests has been received and accepted by the Managing Partner and recorded on the books of the Partnership. Unless a transferee becomes a substituted Partner, any transfer by the transferring Partner of the right to receive Partnership distributions shall not release such Partner from any obligations connected with the Partnership interests being transferred. The effective date of any transfer shall be the date on which all of the prerequisites to such transfer specified in this Section 7.3 have been satisfied; provided that for purposes of any required amendment by the Partnership of any filings made in any jurisdiction, the Managing Partner may refuse to recognize the effectiveness of a transfer until the end of the next successive monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual accounting period.

The gains and losses from the sale of the Partnership assets, together with all other revenue, income, gain, deduction, expense, loss and credit during the period, will be allocated in accordance with Article V.

(b) Accounting. The Liquidating Trustee will then cause proper accounting to be made of the Capital Account of each Partner, allocating thereto the income, losses and other allocations since the last Partnership accounting, including recognition of gain or loss on any asset to be distributed in kind as if such asset had been sold for consideration equal to the fair market value of the asset at the time of the distribution.

(c) Liquidating Distributions. In settling accounts after dissolution of the Partnership, the assets of the Partnership shall be paid to creditors of the Partnership and to the Partners in the following order:

(i) to creditors of the Partnership (including Partners) in the order of priority as provided by law, and in connection therewith there shall be withheld such reasonable reserves for contingent and unforeseen liabilities as the Liquidating Trustee in its reasonable discretion deems adequate, such reserves (or balances thereof) to be held and distributed in such manner and at such times as the Liquidating Trustee, in its sole discretion, deems advisable; provided, however, that such amounts be maintained in a separate bank account and that any amounts in such bank account remaining after four (4) years be distributed to the Partners as if such amount had been available for distribution under Section 8.3(c)(ii) or (iii), as appropriate; then

(ii) to the Partners in the proportion to the amount of their Capital Account.
