4.5                                 Computation Rules. For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, deduction or loss to be reflected in the Capital Accounts, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for federal income tax purposes (including any method of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization used for this purpose); provided that:

(i)                                     Solely for purposes of the application of the provisions hereof, the Partnership shall be treated as owning directly its proportionate share of all property owned by any partnership, joint venture or similar entity in which the Partnership has an ownership interest (as determined by the General Partner based upon the provisions of the governing

15

documents of such entity);

(ii)                                  In accordance with the requirements of Section 704(b) of the Code, any deductions for depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to a Contributed Property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property on the date it was acquired by the Partnership were equal to the Agreed Value of such property. Upon an adjustment pursuant to Section 4.6 or 4.7 to the Carrying Value of any Partnership property subject to depreciation, cost recovery or amortization, any further deductions for such depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to such property shall be determined (A) as if the adjusted basis of such 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 under the same method and useful life as is applied for federal income tax purposes; provided, however, that if the asset has a zero adjusted basis, depreciation, cost recovery or amortization deductions shall be determined using any reasonable method the Managing General Partner may adopt.

(iii)                               Any income, gain or loss attributable to the taxable disposition of any property shall be determined by the Partnership as if the adjusted basis of such property as of the date of such disposition were equal in amount to the Partnership’s Carrying Value with respect to such property as of such date.

16

(iv)                              If the Partnership’s adjusted basis in a depreciable or cost recovery property is reduced for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 48(q)(1) or 48(q)(3) of the Code (or any analogous provisions), the amount of such reduction shall, solely for purposes hereof, be deemed to be an additional depreciation or cost recovery deduction in the year such property is placed in service and shall be allocated among the Partners pursuant to Article V. Any restoration of such basis pursuant to Section 48(q)(2) (or any analogous provision) of the Code shall be allocated in the same manner to the Partnership Interests to which such deemed deduction was allocated.

(v)                                 All fees and other expenses incurred by the Partnership to promote the sale of (or to sell) an interest in the Partnership that can neither be deducted nor amortized under Section 709 of the Code shall be treated as an item of deduction and shall be allocated among the Partners pursuant to Article V.

(vi)                              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 (or treated as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i)(3)), without regard to the fact that such items

17

are not includable in gross income or are neither currently deductible nor capitalizable for federal income tax purposes.

4.6                                 Effect of Transfer of Partnership Interest. Generally, a transferee of an interest in the Partnership Interest shall succeed to that portion of the Capital Account of the transferor relating to the interest transferred. However, if the transfer causes a termination of the Partnership under Section 708(b)(1)(8) of the Code, the Partnership properties shall be deemed to have been distributed in liquidation of the Partnership to the Partners (including the transferee of the interest in the Partnership) and deemed recontributed by such Partners and transferees in reconstitution of the Partnership. In such event, the Carrying Values of the Partnership properties shall be adjusted immediately prior to such deemed distribution pursuant to Section 4.7, and such adjusted Carrying Values shall constitute the Agreed Values of such properties upon such deemed contribution to the reconstituted Partnership. The Capital Accounts of such reconstituted Partnership shall be maintained in accordance with this Article IV.

4.7                                 Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests. Consistent with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), upon an issuance of additional interests in the Partnership for cash or property, the Capital Accounts of all Partners shall, immediately prior to such issuance, 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

18

had been recognized upon an actual sale or each such property, immediately prior to such issuance, and had been allocated to the Partners at such time pursuant to Article V. Once such amounts have been determined, the General Partner shall allocate such aggregate value among the properties of the Partnership in a manner it deems reasonable based on the fair market value for individual properties.

4.8                                 Redemptions. In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), immediately prior to the distribution of cash or any Partnership property in consideration for an interest in the Partnership, including distributions pursuant to Article XIII and deemed distributions resulting from a termination of the Partnership as described in Section 4.5, 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 Article V. 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, in the case of a deemed distribution occurring as a result of a termination of the Partnership pursuant to Section 708 of the Code, be determined and allocated in the manner provided in Section 4.6

19

or in the case of a liquidating distribution pursuant to Article XIII, be determined and allocated by the General Partner using such reasonable methods of valuation and allocation as it may adopt.

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

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

5.1                            Determination of Profits and Losses. The profits and losses of the Partnership shall be determined for each Fiscal Year in accordance with the accrual method of accounting within ninety days after the end of such Fiscal year. The terms “Profits” and “Losses” as used herein include each item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit, as the case may be.

5.2                            Allocation of Profits and Losses for Capital Account Purposes. Except as otherwise provided herein, for purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts and of determining the rights of the Partners among themselves, the Profits and Losses of the Partnership (including profit or loss on the sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets) shall be allocated with respect to each Fiscal Year to the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

5.3                            Allocation in the Event of Transfers. Each item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit which is allocable to a Partner’s Percentage Interest that is transferred in whole or in part during any year shall, if permitted by law, be allocated according to the varying Percentage Interests of the Partners during the year. In applying this rule, the Partners shall prorate such Partnership items over the Partnership year by assigning the appropriate portion of each such item to each day in the period to which it is attributable.

5.4                                 Allocation of Profits and Losses on Distribution of

21

Assets in Kind. In the event that all or a portion of the assets of the Partnership are distributed to the Partners in kind, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be —

(a)                                  Increased by the gain which would have been recognized by the Partnership if the assets to be distributed in kind were sold by the Partnership at a price equal to the fair market value of such assets and any such Profits were allocated between the Partners in accordance with the provisions of this Article V; or

(b)                                 Decreased by the loss which would have been recognized by the Partnership if the assets to be distributed in kind were sold by the Partnership at a price equal to the fair market value of such assets and any such Losses were allocated between the Partners in accordance with the provisions of this Article V.

The term “fair market value” shall be an amount agreed upon unanimously by the Partners within thirty days of a determination to distribute assets in kind pursuant hereof and, if not so agreed, by appraisal performed by an appraiser selected in the reasonable good faith discretion of the General Partner, provided that such appraiser shall be an M.A.I. appraiser with at least five years prior experience in valuing similar assets.

5.5                                 Elections. In the event of a transfer of any Percentage Interest, including a transfer at death, the Partnership, upon the good faith approval of the General Partner (who shall specifically take into account the request of the Partner acquiring such

22

Percentage Interest), may elect, pursuant to Section 754 of the Code, to adjust the basis of the Partnership’s assets. Except insofar as an election pursuant to Section 754 has been made with respect to the interest of any Partner, the determination for federal income tax purposes of any Profits or Losses shall be made as provided for in this Agreement. Each Partner agrees to furnish the Partnership with all information necessary to give effect to such election.

5.6                            Deficit in Capital Account Balances. Upon dissolution and termination of the Partnership, the General Partner, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year in which such liquidation occurs, shall contribute to the capital of the Partnership an amount equal to the negative balance, if any, in its Capital Account in compliance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(3). Any amount contributed by the General Partner under this Section 5.6 shall be distributed according to the priorities set forth in Section 14.3.

23

recharacterized as Partnership distributions, then there shall be allocated to such Partner prior to the allocations otherwise pursuant to this Article an amount of Partnership gross revenues for the year in which such fees, interest or other amounts are treated as Partnership distributions in an amount equal to such fees, interests or other amounts treated as distributions.

5.8                            Imputation of Profit or Loss. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if and to the extent that, as a result of the Partnership engaging in any transaction between any Partner, any Partner is deemed to recognize income as a result of any transaction between such Partner and the Partnership pursuant to Sections 1272-1274, Section 7372, Section 483 or Section 482 of the Code, or any similar provision now or hereinafter in effect, or the Partnership is deemed to receive income under any of these provisions, any corresponding resulting loss, deduction or income of the Partnership shall be allocated to the Partner who engaged in such transaction with the Partnership.

5.9                            Minimum Gain. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a Limited Partner’s Capital Account has a deficit balance resulting in whole or in part from allocations of loss or deduction attributable to nonrecourse debt which is secured by Partnership property, which deficit balance exceeds such Limited Partner’s share of minimum gain (as defined below), then gross income and gain shall first be allocated to such Limited Partner in an amount equal to such excess. For purposes of this Section 5.9, “minimum gain” means the excess of the outstanding principal

24

balance of nonrecourse debt which is secured by Partnership property over the Partnership’s adjusted tax basis of such property. The Partners acknowledge that this Section 5.9 is intended to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv) and is to be interpreted, if possible, to comply with requirements of such regulation. The General Partner shall have complete discretion to amend this provision and if, in the Opinion of Counsel, such amendment is advisable to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv).

5.10                           Qualified Income Offset. (a) Except as provided in Section 5.9, in the event that the Limited Partner unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution due to items set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) that results in such Limited Partner having an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, such Limited Partner shall, as quickly as possible and to the extent required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), be allocated items of gross income in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible.

(b)                                 The Partners acknowledge that this Section 5.10 is intended to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), relating to a “qualified income offset”, and is to be interpreted, if possible, to comply with the requirements of such regulation. The General Partner shall have complete discretion to amend this provision if such an amendment would not have a material adverse effect on the Limited Partner and

25

if, in the Opinion of Counsel, such amendment is advisable to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

5.11                      Limitation on Allocation of Losses. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.2, Losses allocated pursuant to Section 5.2 shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be so allocated without causing the Limited Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year. All Losses in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 5.11 shall be allocated to the General Partner.

5.12                      Curative Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.2, allocations pursuant to Sections 5.9, 5.10 and 5.11 shall be taken into account in allocating other Profits or Losses among the Partners so that to the extent possible the net amount of such allocations of other Profits or Losses and the allocations pursuant to Section 5.9, 5.10 and 5.11 to each Partner shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Partner if the allocations pursuant to Sections 5.9, 5.10 and 5.11 had not occurred.

27

Partner, the Partnership is thereby unable to make a distribution equal to the Designated Amount at the time when such distribution would otherwise be made pursuant to this Section 6.1, then the General Partner either will provide the Partnership with the funds needed for such distribution or the General Partner will indemnify and hold each Class A Limited Partner harmless from the consequences of the inability of the Partnership to make such distribution.

Option to Sell and Option to Purchase
the Percentage Interests Held by
the Class A Limited Partners

13.1 Introduction: Definition of Terms.    This Article XIII provides for the acquisition by the Partnership under certain circumstances of the Percentage Interests held by the Class A Limited Partners. As used in this Article XIII, the following terms have the indicated meanings:

“Average Earnings” means Cumulative Earnings divided by Years Involved.

“Calculation Period” means the period commencing on January 1, 1992, and ending December 31, 2001.

50

“CFO” means the Chief Financial Officer of the General Partner.

“Cumulative Earnings” means the sum of the Earnings for each Fiscal Year in the Calculation Period with respect to any particular Option holder up to, but not including, the Fiscal Year in which a notice is given by either a Class A Limited Partner or the Partnership, as the case may be, to exercise an Option.

“Earnings” means, for any given Fiscal Year in the Calculation Period for which a calculation of Cumulative Earnings is being made, the operating income of the Partnership’s lawn care operations (specifically excluding any termite and pest control operations) for that Fiscal Year, after deducting amortization of all intangible assets recorded on the Partnership’s books and records, including those acquired under both the Participation Agreement and the Asset Acquisition Agreement between the Partnership and Ecolab Inc. dated May 20, 1992, reduced by an annual interest charge computed at 9% on $162 million of debt and by a royalty fee of 1.2% of total revenues from lawn care operations.. All other interest associated with the Partnership’s lawn care operations, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including interest on any other long-term or short-term debt, also shall be included in the computation of Earnings. Earnings shall be calculated by the CFO and as further provided in Section 13.5.

51

“Employing Entity” means the Partnership, the General Partner and the Class B Limited Partner, or any one of them, in their capacity as an employer of personnel.

“Exercise Period” means the period beginning on January 1, 1997, and ending on January 31, 2002.

“Loan Balance” means at any given time, the principal balance of the Equity Loan of a Class A Limited Partner.

“Option” means the right granted to the Partnership under Section 13.2 and the right granted to each Class A Limited Partner under Section 13.3.

“Option Price” means the price payable for the Percentage Interest (or part thereof) held by a Class A Limited Partner which is subject to the option rights granted under Sections 13.2 and 13.3. The Option Price shall be determined pursuant to Section 13.6.

“Years Involved” means the number of Fiscal Years involved in the calculation of Cumulative Earnings.

13.2 Grant of Option to Purchase.     Each Class A Limited Partner grants to the Partnership the right and option to purchase from such Class A Limited Partner, from time to time and at any time during the Exercise Period, at the Option Price, some or all of the Percentage Interest held by such Class A Limited Partner.

13.3 Grant of Option to Sell.    The Partnership grants to each Class A Limited Partner the right and option to sell to the Partnership, from time to time and at any time during the Exercise Period, at the Option Price, some or all of the Percentage Interest

52

held by such Class A Limited Partner.

13.4 Determination of Earnings for a Fiscal Year.    As promptly as practicable after the close of each Fiscal Year within the Calculation Period, and in no event later than ninety (90) days after the close of such Fiscal Year, the CFO shall determine the Earnings for that Fiscal Year in accordance with this Article XIII and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. The General Partner thereupon shall notify the Class A Limited Partners of the amount of Earnings for such Fiscal Year, and the General Partner shall provide the Class A Limited Partners with all of the information reasonably needed to enable them to understand how the determination of Earnings was made.

13.5 Resolution of Disputes.    (a) If there is any disagreement between the General Partner and a majority in interest of the Class A Limited Partners with respect to the determination of Earnings, then such persons immediately shall meet for the purpose of resolving such disagreement. If such disagreement is not resolved within fifteen (15) days of any such meeting, then such majority in interest of the Class A Limited Partners may engage the services of a nationally recognized independent certified public accounting firm as may be selected by the General Partner (the “first accounting firm”) to examine the aforesaid calculation of Earnings by the CFO. If the first accounting firm disagrees with the CFO, then the CFO and such majority in interest of the Class A Limited Partners shall select a second nationally

53

recognized independent certified public accounting firm (the “second accounting firm”) to calculate Earnings, and the determination of the second accounting firm shall be final and binding upon the Partners (including any Class A Limited Partners who originally were not in disagreement with the General Partner’s determination of Earnings).

(b) All expenses of any first and second accounting firms incurred by the Partners in accordance with the foregoing adjustment procedure shall be the sole obligation of the Class A Limited Partners who retained the first accounting firm. All expenses of the CFO shall be the sole obligation of the Partnership. However, in the event that the ultimate resolution of the Earnings calculation contains an upward adjustment in excess of two percent (2%) of the computation delivered by the CFO, then all expenses of the accounting firms shall become the sole obligation of the Partnership, with no effect on the Earnings calculation by virtue of such expense.

13.6 Determination of the Option Price.    The Option Price for the Percentage Interest (or part thereof) held by a Class A Limited Partner sold pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall initially be determined by using the following mechanism:

Option Price = Average Earnings X 13 x Percentage Interest or part thereof

with the results obtained requiring confirmation by an independent appraisal. A nationally recognized independent appraisal firm selected by the General Partner will conduct the independent

54

appraisal. The Partnership will bear the expense of any independent appraisal, with no effect on the Earnings calculation by virtue of such expense.

13.7 Procedure for Exercise of an Option and Payment for the  Percentage Interest Involved.    (a)    The Partnership may exercise the Option granted to it under Section 13.2 by giving the Class A Limited Partner a written notice to that effect. The notice shall set a date for closing which shall be seven (7) days from the date of such notice (unless such seventh day is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, in which case the closing shall be on the first business day thereafter). Such notice must be given before the expiration of the Exercise Period.

(b) Each Class A Limited Partner may exercise the Option granted to him or her under Section 13.3 by giving the General Partner a written notice to that effect. The notice shall indicate the Class A Limited Partner to whom such exercise relates and shall set a date for the closing of the transaction contemplated by such Option which shall be thirty (30) days from the date of such notice (unless such thirtieth day is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, in which case the closing shall be on the first business day thereafter). Such notice must be given before the expiration of the Exercise Period.

(c) At the closing held with respect to each notice given pursuant to Section 13.7(a) or Section 13.7(b), the Class A Limited Partner whose Percentage Interest (or part thereof) is involved in the closing shall deliver to the General Partner an assignment of

55

the Percentage Interest (or part thereof) as to which the Option has been exercised, and the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, shall deliver a certified or bank cashier’s check in an amount equal to the difference between the Loan Balance and the Option Price as established for the Percentage Interest (or part thereof) pursuant to Section 13.6. If the Option Price is equal to or greater than the Loan Balance, then the General Partner also shall pay the Loan Balance to the lender of the Equity Loan on the date of such closing. If, on the other hand, the Option Price is less than the Loan Balance, then the General Partner shall pay the entire Option Price to the lender of the Equity Loan on the date of such closing. The location of the closing shall be the principal office of the Partnership.

13.8 Right of the Partnership to Purchase Percentage Interests Upon Termination of Employment of Certain Employees Prior  to January 1, 1997.    (a) If an individual who is an employee of an Employing Entity is also a Class A Limited Partner, and if the employment of such Class A Limited Partner terminates at any time during the period beginning on the Commencement Date and ending December 31, 1996 (respectively, the “Departing Employee” and the “Early Departure Period”), then the Partnership thereupon shall have the right to purchase the Percentage Interest of such Class A Limited Partner. Written notice pursuant to Section 13.7 will be deemed to be given upon the termination of such Departing Employee’s employment with an Employing Entity. The Percentage Interest which may be purchased by the Partnership hereinafter is

56

called the “Surrendered Percentage Interest”. The purchase price of the Surrendered Percentage Interest shall be determined under Section 13.8(b).

(b) If the Departing Employee’s employment with the Employing Entity terminates, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, during the Early Departure Period, then the price at which the Surrendered Percentage Interest shall be purchased shall equal the amount determined pursuant to Section 13.6. In applying Section 13.6, the number and identity of the Fiscal Years to be used for the Cumulative Earnings (which, in turn, will establish Average Earnings) shall be the number and identity of full Fiscal Years in which such Class A Limited Partner shall have been an employee of the Employing Entity and a Class A Limited Partner.

(c) Payment of the amount determined under Section 13.8(b) (“Termination Pay Out”) shall be paid by the Partnership to the Departing Employee in two installments. If the Termination Pay Out is less than or equal to the Loan Balance, then the first installment shall be payable to the lender of the Equity Loan not later than thirty (30) days after the termination of employment of the Departing Employee, and no second installment shall be paid. If the Termination Pay Out exceeds the Loan Balance, then the first installment shall equal the Loan Balance and shall be payable to the lender of the Equity Loan not later than thirty (30) days after the termination of employment of the Departing Employee. The second installment shall equal the balance of the Termination Pay Out and shall be paid to the Departing Employee not later than

57

thirty (30) days after the General Partner has determined Earnings for the Fiscal Year 1996, as provided in Section 13.4 and subject to the procedure therein.

(d) An employee may be involuntarily terminated as an employee of the Employing Entity under this Section 13.8 for good and sufficient cause only. When the Employing Entity believes that such cause exists, the Employing Entity shall give to the employee 45 days written notice. The employee shall have an opportunity to cure the deficiency or facts relating to the cause stated by the Employing Entity during such 45 day notice period. The Board of Directors of the General Partner shall be the final decisionmaker as to the employee’s effort to cure.

13.9 Termination by Reason of Death or Incapacity During the  Early Departure Period or the Exercise Period.     If an employee of an Employing Entity is also a Class A Limited Partner, and if such Class A Limited Partner ceases to be an employee of the Employing Entity at any time during the Early Departure Period or the Exercise Period because of his or her death or incapacity, then the Partnership shall have both the right and the duty to purchase the Percentage Interest of such Class A Limited Partner’ as soon as possible. The Option Price for such Percentage Interest shall be determined pursuant to Section 13.6. In applying Section 13.6, the number and identity of the Fiscal Years to be used for the Cumulative Earnings (which, in turn, will establish Average Earnings) shall be the number and identity of full Fiscal Years in which such Class A Limited Partner shall have been an employee of

58

the Employing Entity and a Class A Limited Partner.

13.10 Effect of Acquisition of Other Businesses on Earnings. (a)    If the Partnership or any Affiliate of the General Partner (a “ServiceMaster Affiliate”) has the opportunity to acquire one or more lawn care businesses at any time in the future which are in addition to the ChemLawn business, and if any of such lawn care businesses are in any way related to or engaged in any similar or competitive business to that of the Partnership as being conducted at that time (“Future Acquisition”), then the Partners, by a majority vote according to Percentage Interests, shall determine in each case whether such Future Acquisition shall be of any effect on the calculation of Earnings (regardless of whether it is to be acquired by the Partnership or acquired by any ServiceMaster Affiliate or through a separate entity formed by any ServiceMaster Affiliate). If such majority of the Partners favors including the Future Acquisition in the Earnings calculation, and if the Future Acquisition is in fact made, then the earnings, debt service and all other items affecting income and cash flow shall be included in the computation of Earnings. If, on the other hand, such majority of the Partners disfavors including the Future Acquisition in the computation of Earnings, then the making of the Future Acquisition shall not in any way affect the computation of Earnings.

13.11 Right to Purchase.     Nothing in this Agreement restricting the Partnership’s ability to purchase assets shall be deemed to interfere with the ability of the Partnership to purchase Percentage Interests pursuant to this Article XIII. The funds for

59

any purchase of Percentage Interests by the Partnership provided under this Article XIII shall be contributed as a Capital Contribution by the General Partner, and in respect thereof, the General Partner shall receive the Percentage Interests to its credit.

13.12 Amendment to Article XIII.    This Article XIII shall not be amended except by the consent of all Partners.

13.13 Public Offering.    If the Partnership registers the Percentage Interests of the Class A Limited Partners as part of a public offering so that such Percentage Interests are traded on a national securities exchange, then the Options will be deemed terminated as of the date of such public offering, and this Agreement automatically shall be amended to delete this Article XIII as of the date of such public offering.

ARTICLE XIV

14.2 Continuation of the Business of the Partnership After  Dissolution.    Upon dissolution of the Partnership in accordance with Section 14.1(b)(2) or Section 14.1(b)(4), and a failure of all Partners to agree to continue the business of the Partnership and appoint a successor General Partner as provided in Section 14.1, then within an additional 90 days the remaining Partners may elect to reconstitute the Partnership and continue its business on the same terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and having as a general partner a Person elected by the remaining Partners. Upon any such election, all Partners shall be bound thereby and shall be deemed to have consented thereto. Unless such an election is made within 180 days after dissolution, the Partnership shall conduct only activities necessary to wind up its affairs. If such an election is made within 180 days after dissolution or within ninety (90) days after any event in Section 14.1(b), 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 the interest of the former General Partner shall be treated thenceforth as the interest of

62

a limited partner in the Partnership; and

(c)                                  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 the General Partner pursuant to Section 1.4;

provided, that the right of the remaining Partners to select a successor general partner and to reconstitute and to continue the business of the Partnership shall not exist and may not be exercised unless the Partnership has received an Opinion of Counsel from counsel satisfactory to the General Partner that (i) the exercise of the right would not result in the loss of limited liability of the Limited Partners and (ii) neither the Partnership nor the reconstituted Partnership would be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes upon the exercise of such right to continue.

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 General Partner or, in the event the General Partner has been dissolved or removed, become bankrupt as defined in Section 14.1, or has withdrawn from the Partnership, a liquidator or liquidating committee selected by the mutual agreement of the Limited Partners shall be the Liquidator. The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall be entitled to receive such compensation for its

63

services as may be approved by the Limited Partners. 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 given by the Limited Partners. 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 30 days thereafter be selected by the Limited Partners. 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 will 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 appointed in the manner provided herein shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or consent of any Agreement (but subject to all of the applicable limitations, contractual and otherwise, upon the exercise of such powers, other than the limitations on sale set forth in this Agreement) to the extent necessary or desirable in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator to carry out the duties and functions of the Liquidator 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 for herein. The

64

Liquidator shall liquidate the assets of the Partnership, and apply and distribute the proceeds of such liquidation, in the following order of priority, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable law:

(a)                                  the payment to creditors of the Partnership, including Partners, in order of priority provided by law; and 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 the appropriate person for such purposes:

(b)                                 to the Partners in proportion to the positive balances in their respective Capital Accounts; provided, however, that prior to such distribution, the Capital Accounts shall have been adjusted to reflect the allocations of Profits and Losses set forth in Article V hereof prior to such distribution; and thereafter

(c)                                  to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

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 Partnership’s assets 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

65

those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (other than those to Partners) and/or 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 operating of such properties at such time. The fair market value of any property distributed in kind shall be determined in accordance with Section 5.5 hereof.

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 the General Partner and the Limited Partners, if necessary) shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate of Limited Partnership and all qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited 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.

66

14.7 Return of Capital.    Upon dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner shall contribute an amount equal to the deficit balance in its Capital Account in accordance with Section 5.6. Other than as provided in the preceding sentence, no general partner or limited partner of the Partnership shall be required to restore a deficit in its Capital Account or shall be personally liable for the return of the Capital Contributions of any Partner or any portion thereof.

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