(a) Make a nonrecourse loan to the Failing Partner through an advance to the Partnership on behalf of the Failing Partner in the amount of the Failing Partner’s required Capital Contribution. If the Curing Partner makes such a loan, the Failing Partner and its Partnership Interest shall be credited with such Capital Contribution and said loan advance shall be payable upon demand and shall bear interest at the rate of the lesser of the base or prime interest rate of Bank of America plus two percent (2%) per annum, or the highest rate permitted by law (the “Interest Rate”).

(b) Make the Failing Partner’s required Capital Contribution, in which event the Failing Partner’s Partnership Interest shall be reduced and the Curing Partner’s Partnership Interest shall be correspondingly increased to a percentage as determined by the application of the formula (“Equity Adjustment Formula”) as follows:
(i) The Failing Partner’s existing equity (“Failing Partner’s Existing Equity”) shall be determined by multiplying the Failing Partner’s Partnership Interest immediately prior to the Failure Date by the Partnership’s existing net worth (“Partnership’s Existing Net Worth”) (less any Capital Contributions made by any Partner with respect to the additional capital call from which the Failing Partner defaulted). The Curing Partner’s existing equity (“Curing Partner’s Existing Equity”) shall likewise be determined by multiplying the Curing Partner’s Partnership Interest immediately prior to the Failure Date by the Partnership’s Existing Net Worth (less any aforesaid contributions).
AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP - Page 8
(ii) The Partnership’s new net worth (“Partnership’s New Net Worth”) shall be determined by adding to the Partnership’s Existing Net Worth the aggregate Capital Contributions made by all Partners with respect to said call for Capital Contributions on or before the Cure Date (the “Latest Capital Contribution”).
(iii) The Failing Partner’s new equity (“Failing Partner’s New Equity”) shall be the same as the Failing Partner’s Existing Equity, but the Curing Partner’s new equity (“Curing Partner’s New Equity”) shall be equal to the sum of the Curing Partner’s Existing Equity plus the Curing Partner’s portion of the Latest Capital Contribution (including the portion made on behalf of the Failing Partner).
(iv) The Failing Partner’s new Partnership Interest shall be the quotient arrived at by dividing the Failing Partner’s New Equity by the Partnership’s New Net Worth and the Curing Partner’s new Partnership Interest shall be the quotient arrived at by dividing the Curing Partner’s New Equity by the Partnership’s New Net Worth.
At any time there is a dilution of a Failing Partner’s Partnership Interest pursuant to this Section 3.4(b), such Failing Partner shall have the option of restoring his Partnership Interest by payment to the Curing Partner of the Capital Contribution paid by such Curing Partner on behalf of such Failing Partner plus an amount equal to the Interest Rate on such amounts, provided such payment is made no later than six (6) months following the subject dilution.
If there is more than one Curing Partner, all decisions of the Curing Partner shall be made by a Majority in Interest of the Curing Partners. All expenses of the Curing Partners shall be shared pro rata based upon their Partnership Interests.
If the Curing Partner elects to make a loan to the Failing Partner pursuant to Section 3.4(a) hereof, then at any time thereafter while all or a portion of such loan remains unpaid, the Curing Partner may convert all, but not less than all of the entire outstanding principal balance of such loan into a Capital Contribution, provided that all accrued interest is paid in full, and the Partnership Interests of the Failing Partner and the Curing Partner shall be adjusted at the time of conversion in accordance with Section 3.4(b) hereof.
Section 3.5 Determination of Existing Net Worth. The Partnership’s Existing Net Worth shall be equal to the greater of (a) $100 or (b) the book value of the Partnership’s assets net of liabilities, determined based on the Partnership’s regular accounting method.

Section 6.3 Limitations on Allocations.
(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article VI, if there is a net decrease in Partnership minimum gain during any fiscal year or other period, prior to any other allocation pursuant hereto, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount and manner required by Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv)(e) and (h) and Section 1.704-2. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article VI, if there is a net decrease in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain, any Partner with a share of that partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain as of the beginning of such year shall be allocated items of income and gain for the year (and, if necessary, for succeeding years) equal to that Partner’s share of the net decrease in the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain, as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4).
(b) Qualified Income Offset. Any Partner who unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) that causes or increases a negative balance in its Capital Account beyond the sum of the amount of such Partner’s obligation to restore its deficit Capital Account plus its share of minimum gain shall be allocated items of income and gain sufficient to eliminate such increase or negative balance caused thereby, as quickly as possible, to the extent required by such Treasury Regulation.

If any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Partnership fiscal year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and (ii) the amount such Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2, each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article VI have been made as if this Section 6.3(c) were not in this Agreement.
(d) Section 704(b) Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no allocation of any item of income or loss shall be made to a Partner if such allocation would not have “economic effect” pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii) or otherwise be in accordance with its interest in the Partnership within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(3) and 1.704-2. To the extent an allocation cannot be made to a Partner due to the application of
AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP - Page 20
this Section 6.3(d), such allocation shall be made to the other Partner(s) entitled or required to receive such allocation hereunder.
(e) Curative Allocations. Any allocations of items of income, gain, or loss pursuant to Sections 6.3(a)-(d) hereof shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations pursuant to this Article VI, so that the net amount of any items so allocated and the income, losses and other items allocated to each Partner pursuant to this Article VI shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Partner had no allocations ever been made pursuant to Sections 6.3(a)-(d) hereof.
Section 6.4 Distributions Upon Liquidation of Partnership.
(a) Upon liquidation of the Partnership the assets of the Partnership shall be distributed no later than the later of 90 days after the date of such liquidation or the end of the Partnership’s taxable year in which the liquidation occurs and shall be applied in the following order of priority:
(i) To the payment of debts and liabilities of the Partnership (including amounts owed to Partners or former Partners);
(ii) Unless inconsistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b), or any successor provision, to set up any reserves which the General Partner deems reasonably necessary for contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership arising out of or in connection with the business of the Partnership; and
(iii) After all Capital Account adjustments for the Partnership’s taxable year in which the liquidation occurs (including without limitation adjustments required under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e), relating to distributions in kind), to the Partners in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof.
(b) If a transfer of an interest in the Partnership results in a termination of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), Section 6.4(a) hereof shall not apply and a Partner’s portion of the constructive liquidating distribution of the Partnership’s assets that is deemed to occur under Treasury Regulation Section 1.708-1(b)(1)(iv) (or any similar or successor provision) shall be determined in accordance with the Capital Accounts of the Partners as determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the Partnership’s taxable year ending on the date of such termination.
Section 6.5 Liquidation of Partner’s Interest. Except as may otherwise be required in this Agreement, if a Partner’s Partnership Interest is to be liquidated, liquidating distributions shall be made in accordance with the positive Capital Account balance of such Partner, as determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the Partnership’s taxable year during which such liquidation occurs, by the end of the taxable year, or if later, within ninety (90) days after the date of such liquidation. If a Partner’s Partnership Interest is to be liquidated, it has a negative Capital Account balance and it is obligated to restore some or all of
AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP - Page 21
its negative Capital Account upon liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to Section 3.8 hereof, then such Partner shall, by the end of the taxable year or, if earlier, within ninety (90) days of the date of such liquidation, contribute cash to the Partnership in an amount equal to its negative Capital Account or such lesser amount as provided in Section 3.8 hereof. Where a Partner’s Partnership Interest is to be liquidated by a series of distributions, such Partner’s Partnership Interest shall not be considered liquidated until the final distribution has been made. For purposes of this Section 6.5, a liquidation of a Partner’s Partnership Interest means the termination of the Partner’s entire Partnership Interest by means of a distribution or series of distributions to the Partner by the Partnership.
Section 6.6 In-Kind Distributions.
(a) Prior to a distribution of property (other than cash and other than in complete liquidation of the Partnership or a Partner’s Partnership Interest), the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss and deduction inherent in such property (that has not previously been reflected in the Capital Accounts), would be allocated among the Partners if there were a taxable disposition of the property on the date of distribution.
(b) If the distribution of property (other than cash) is to a Partner in complete liquidation of the Partner’s Partnership Interest or in liquidation of the Partnership, prior to such distribution, the Capital Accounts of all the Partners shall be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss and deduction inherent in all the Partnership’s property (that has not previously been reflected in the Capital Accounts) would be allocated among the Partners if there was a taxable disposition of all such property on the date of the liquidating distribution.
(c) If any assets of the Partnership are distributed to the Partners in kind, the Partners shall own and hold the same as tenants in common.
Section 6.7 Additional Tax Allocation Provisions.
(a) For income tax purposes, allocations of income and loss (and items thereof) shall be made in accordance with the foregoing allocations of income, gain and loss for financial purposes.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to property, other than cash, contributed to the Partnership by a Partner or with respect to an adjustment to the Partners’ Capital Accounts to reflect a revaluation of the Property, shall be allocated among the Partners so as to take into account the variation between the basis of the property to the Partnership and its fair market value at the time of contribution or, in the case of a revaluation of the Property, the variation between the basis of the Property to the Partnership and its fair market value as of the date of revaluation, as provided in Section 704(c) of the Code and Regulations thereunder and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).
(c) As between a Partner who has transferred all or part of its Partnership Interest and its transferee, all items of income, gain, deduction and loss, for any year shall
AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP - Page 22
be apportioned on the basis of the number of days in each such year that each was the holder of such Partnership Interest (making any adjustments necessary to comply with the provisions of Section 706(d)(2) of the Code), without regard to the results of the Partnership’s operations during the period before and after the date of such transfer, provided that if both the transferor and transferee consent thereto a special closing of the books shall be had as of the effective date of such transfer and the apportionment of items of income and gain, and deduction and loss, shall be made on the basis of actual operating results, and provided further that in the case of a dilution pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof, a special closing of the books shall be had as of the effective date of the dilution, and the apportionment of items of income and gain and deduction and loss shall be made on the basis of actual operating results. Notwithstanding the above, gain or loss resulting from a Major Capital Event or a Liquidating Event shall be allocated only to those persons who are Partners as of the date on which such transaction is consummated.
Section 6.8 Withholding. Each Limited Partner hereby authorizes and directs the General Partner to (1) withhold and pay over such taxes with respect to the Limited Partner as may be required by any state law, rule or regulation, and (2) file such tax and information returns and make such tax payments in conjunction therewith as the General Partner in its sole discretion, determines to be necessary or appropriate with regard to all state and local tax matters affecting the Partnership, including without limitation composite returns on behalf of the Partners of the Partnerships. Each Limited Partner hereby agrees to provide to the General Partner such documentation and information and to execute and deliver to the General Partner such instruments as may be reasonably requested by the General Partner in order to prepare, execute and file such returns and make such payments.

Section 8.2 Transfers Requiring Consent. The following dispositions of a Partnership Interest shall require consent as stated below:
(a) No Transfers of any Partnership Interest in whole or in part will be permitted if it would cause the termination of the Partnership for Federal income tax purposes or cause the Partnership to be taxed other than as a partnership, unless all the Partners agree in writing to such a disposition. Counsel for the Partnership may give its opinion to the General Partner as to whether or not such Transfer would cause such a tax effect for Federal income tax purposes and the opinion shall be conclusive and binding upon all Partners.
(b) No Partnership Interest or any portion thereof shall be Transferred to a minor or an incompetent, without the prior written consent of all Partners.
(c) No Transfer of the General Partner’s Partnership Interest shall be permitted without the prior written consent of all Partners.
(d) No Transfer of any Partnership Interest of any Partner shall be permitted without the prior written consent of the General Partner if such Transfer requires the consent of a third party under any joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement to which the Partnership is a party.
Section 8.3 Permitted Transfers to Specified Parties. Unless a Transfer is prohibited by Sections 8.2(a), (c) or (d) hereof, then a Partner may Transfer all or any part of its Partnership Interest to another Partner, an Affiliate of such Partner, his spouse, his parents, his children, his grandchildren, his brothers, his sisters or to a trust if the trustee of such trust was a Partner immediately prior to such transfer (herein called a “Permitted Transferee”). A Permitted Transfer may be by will or intestate succession or by inter vivos Transfer. Any inter vivos Transfer made pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall not become effective until the other Partners
AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP - Page 25
have received from the Permitted Transferee an irrevocable power of attorney appointing the Partner Transferring such Partnership Interest or portion thereof as the attorney-in fact for said Permitted Transferee with full power and authority to deal in any way with such Partnership Interest, or portion thereof, as the case may be. Further, the power of attorney shall provide that in the event of the death of the attorney-in-fact the Permitted Transferee will within ninety (90) days after said death appoint one person to deal with the Partnership Interest of all Permitted Transferees and having failed to do so the other Partners shall have the right to appoint a substitute attorney-in-fact to deal with such Partnership Interest or portion thereof, as the case may be. Said power of attorney shall be binding upon the Permitted Transferee, his heirs, successors and assigns. A Transfer pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall not relieve the transferor from any of its obligations to the Partnership under this Agreement.
Section 8.4 Assumption by Transferee. Any transferee to whom all or any part of a Partnership Interest may be Transferred pursuant to this Agreement shall take such Partnership Interest subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall not be considered to have title thereto until said transferee shall have accepted and assumed the terms and conditions of this Agreement by a written agreement to that effect delivered to the other Partners, at which time such transferee shall be admitted as a substitute Partner and shall succeed to all rights of its transferor except as such rights may be otherwise limited by other provisions of this Agreement. Anything contained in this Section 8.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, the assumption by the transferee of the Partnership Interest being Transferred shall not relieve the transferor of such Partnership Interest of its obligations hereunder unless such transferor is released by written consent of all Partners.
Section 8.5 Cost of Transfers. The transferor and, if it fails or refuses to do so, then the transferee, of any Partnership Interest shall reimburse the Partnership for all costs incurred by the Partnership resulting from any Transfer.
Section 8.6 Effect of Attempted Disposition in Violation of this Agreement. Any attempted Transfer of any Partnership Interest in breach of this Agreement shall be null and void and of no effect whatever.

To make the Put Election for a year, the Selling Partner must provide to the Partnership notice of the Selling Partner’s Put Election within thirty (30) days after the Selling Partner receives a Value Notice for such year. The purchase price to be paid by the Partnership to the Selling Partner for the Put Interest will be paid in cash and will be equal to (i) the amount of proceeds that the Selling Partner would receive pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof with respect to the Put Interest if all of the Property owned by the Partnership and the Subsidiaries were sold for cash at a price equal to the Appraised Value, all reasonable closing costs relating to such sale were paid, all debts and liabilities of the Partnership and the Subsidiaries were paid, and the
AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP - Page 26
remaining net proceeds were distributed to the Partners pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, multiplied times (ii) seventy-five percent (75%) (the “Sales Price”). The closing of the purchase and sale of the Put Interest shall occur at the time and place determined by the Partnership provided that in no event shall it occur more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Partnership receives notice of the Put Election. At closing, the Selling Partner shall execute such agreements and instruments as may be reasonably requested by the Partnership.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.7(a) above, if the Sales Price for the Put Interest determined under Section 8.7(a) would be equal to or less than Eighty-Three Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Three Dollars ($83,333), then the Put Interest shall be equal to all (100%) rather than one-third (33 1/3%) of the Selling Partner’s Partnership Interest, such that the Selling Partner shall sell and the Partnership shall purchase all (100%) of the Selling Partner’s Partnership Interest in accordance with this Section 8.7 and the Sales Price will be based on such revised Put Interest.
