ARTICLE 4
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; PARTNERS
-------------------------------
4.1 PRE-DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTIONS. During the period commencing on the
date hereof and ending ************ thereafter (the "Pre-Development Period"),
the Partners hereby commit to make Capital Contributions to fund the
Partnership's payment of third party costs and expenses set forth in the
Pre-Development Budget; provided, however, that overhead and other costs
expressly designated in the Pre-Development Budget as the separate costs of a
Partner shall be borne solely by such Partner and shall not be treated as a
Capital Contribution hereunder.
4.2 INITIAL CAPITAL COMMITMENTS. Upon the expiration of the
Pre-Development Period, the Partners commit to make an aggregate of **********
in Capital Contributions (the "Initial Commitments") in accordance with their
respective Unit Percentages. Such contributions shall be used to fund the
operations of the Partnership.
4.3 ADDITIONAL CAPITAL COMMITMENTS. When the Initial Commitments have
been funded by the Partners and the Partnership has a Capital Need (as defined
below), there shall be successive additional rounds of commitments for Capital
Contributions offered by the Partnership to the Partners ("OFFERED COMMITMENTS"
and together with Initial Commitments, collectively the "COMMITMENTS");
provided, however,
* Confidential treatment requested: material has been omitted and filed
separately with the Commission.
6
-6-
the aggregate Capital Contributions made by all Partners under all Commitments
shall not exceed *********** without the prior express written consent of all
Partners. Each such round shall be in increments of ********** in aggregate
Offered Commitments and shall be offered as soon as practical upon a Capital
Need. As used herein, a "CAPITAL NEED" shall be deemed to exist when (a) all
then outstanding Commitments of the Partners have been fully funded and (b) the
Partnership then needs additional funds (or reasonably anticipates the need for
additional funds within 60 days) for its operations or to maintain reasonable
reserves for such operations. Upon the occurrence of a Capital Need, an offering
of a round of Offered Commitments may be commenced by any Partner upon such
Partner giving written notice thereof to the other Partners and, once commenced,
such offering shall continue for a period of 30 days thereafter (the "OFFER
PERIOD"). With regard to each round of Offered Commitments, the General Partner
must accept Offered Commitments in an amount equal to ** of all Offered
Commitments accepted by the Limited Partners and each Limited Partner shall have
the right (but no obligation) to accept Offered Commitments in an amount equal
to but not less than ***** of the Offered Commitments (which percentage may not
correspond to then existing Unit Percentages, as adjusted). Each Limited Partner
that desires (or is obligated) to accept Offered Commitments must give written
notice of its acceptance to each other Partner and to the Partnership during the
Offer Period. Unless a Limited Partner accepts Offered Commitments during the
Offer Period in accordance with the foregoing, such Limited Partner shall be
deemed to have rejected such Offered Commitments. If a Limited Partner rejects
(or is deemed to have rejected) the Offered Commitments, the other Limited
Partner may elect to accept all (but not less than all) of such rejected Offered
Commitments by giving written notice thereof to the Other Partners on or before
the expiration of 15 days after the end of the Offer Period.
4.4 FUNDING OF COMMITMENTS. All Commitments made by the Partners
pursuant to the provisions of this Article 4 shall be funded upon request by the
General Partner (or its managers or officers) as necessary to fund the
Partnership's operations and to maintain reasonable reserves for such
operations. Each request for funding shall be given by the General Partner (or
its managers or officers) to all other Partners at least five business days
prior to the funding date. Each request for funding shall include the statement
as to the intended use of the proceeds of such funding.
4.5 BINDING COMMITMENTS, DEFAULT. All Commitments made by the Partners
pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE 4 shall be irrevocable, binding
commitments which shall be enforceable by the Partnership
* Confidential treatment requested: material has been omitted and filed

against the Partners making such Commitments. If a Partner does not fund a
Commitment made by it in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the other
Partners may (without any obligation) fund the unfunded portion of such
Commitment. Any such funding shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all
rights and remedies that the Partnership and the other Partners may be entitled
to against the defaulting Partner pursuant to this Agreement, at law or in
equity.
4.6 ADJUSTMENTS TO UNITS. As of any date (an "ADJUSTMENT DATE") on
which, in accordance with the foregoing, Capital Contributions are made by the
Partners other than in accordance with their Unit Percentages, the Units of all
Partners shall automatically (and without any further action by the Partners) be
adjusted so that the number of Units held by each Partner shall be equal to 100
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the aggregate amount
of Capital Contributions made by such Partner as of the Adjustment Date, and the
denominator of which shall be the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made
by all Partners as of the Adjustment Date; it being understood that the total
number of Units held by all Partners shall always equal 100. As of the date of
each Adjustment Date, the Unit Percentage of each Partner shall also be adjusted
based upon the adjusted number of Units held by each Partner. Promptly after
each Adjustment Date, the General Partner shall amend SCHEDULE A hereto to
reflect the automatic adjustment of the number of Units and Unit Percentages as
of each Adjustment Date (such adjustment shall nevertheless be effective as of
the Adjustment Date regardless when SCHEDULE A hereto is amended).
4.7 SCHEDULE OF PARTNERS, COMMITMENTS-, CONTRIBUTIONS, UNIT OWNERSHIP.
The name, address, Commitments, Capital Contributions and Unit ownership of each
Partner are set forth on SCHEDULE A attached hereto. SCHEDULE A hereto shall be
amended by the General Partner to reflect the admission of additional or
substituted Limited Partners and to reflect adjustments to Units, Unit
Percentages, Commitments and Capital Contributions in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement. The General Partner shall amend SCHEDULE A hereto
pursuant to the power of attorney granted under ARTICLE 13 hereof to reflect any
such adjustments. The Units owned by Partners hereunder shall not be represented
by certificates.
4.8 NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. In no event shall a third party,
including without limitation a creditor of the Partnership, be entitled to in
any way rely upon or enforce the obligation of Partners to make future Capital
Contributions.
* Confidential treatment requested: material has been omitted and filed

4.9 LOANS AND WITHDRAWAL OF CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS. No Partner shall be
permitted to borrow, or to make an early withdrawal of, any portion of the
capital contributed by such Partner.
4.10 LIMITED LIABILITY OF LIMITED PARTNERS. No Limited Partner shall be
bound by or personally liable for the expenses, liabilities or obligations of
the Partnership.
4.11 LIMITED CATCH-UP OPTION. In the event that the Unit Percentages of
the Limited Partners are adjusted pursuant to SECTION 4.6 as a result of one
Limited Partner (the "CONTRIBUTING PARTNER") making more Capital Contributions,
in aggregate, than the other Limited Partner (the "NON-CONTRIBUTING PARTNER"),
the Non-Contributing Partner shall have a limited, one-time option (the
"OPTION") to purchase a portion of the Contributing Partner's Units as provided
in this Section. The Option shall be exercisable by the Non-Contributing Partner
one time (but not more than one time) at any time prior to (but not after) the
fifth (5th) anniversary of the initial effective date of this Agreement (the
"OUTSIDE DATE"). The Option may be exercised by the Non-Contributing Partner
giving written notice of exercise to the Contributing Partner prior to the
Outside Date. The purchase price of the Units purchasable pursuant to the Option
shall be equal to the sum of (i) the Contributing Partner's Contribution Per
Unit as of the date of exercise of the Option multiplied by the number of Units
being purchased plus (ii) Applicable Interest. The maximum number of Units
purchasable under the Option shall be equal to ******** of the amount by which
the number of Units owned by the Contributing Partner exceeds the number of
Units owned by the Non-Contributing Partner; provided, however, in no event
shall the number of Units purchasable under the Option exceed the number of
Units which, if multiplied by the Contributing Partner's Contribution Per Unit,
would equal **********.
As used herein, "APPLICABLE INTEREST" shall mean interest, at the
following per annum. rates compounded annually, applied to the amount of the
short-fall in Capital Contributions being made up by the Non-Contributing
Partner pursuant to the exercise of the Option on a first-in-first-out basis:
the lesser of (i) the maximum lawful (nonusurious) rate and (ii) Prime Rate plus
** for 0-6 months, Prime Rate plus ** for 6-12 months, Prime Rate plus ** for
12-18 months, Prime Rate plus ** if more than 18 months.
Due the complexity of the foregoing, the following example is included:

************************************************
* Confidential treatment requested: material has been omitted and filed

-9-
******************************************************************************
********. If the Option is exercised for *** of the amount by which the number
of Units owned by the Contributing Partner exceeds the number of Units owned by
the Non-Contributing Partner in month 34, the exercise price would be calculated
as follows:
Total Capital Contributions: ********************************************
*********
Total Units/Unit Percentages: ******************************************
***************************
Contribution Per Unit: ****************************************
*********
Option Price: ***********************************
***********
Plus
Applicable Interest (compounded annually) on
*******************************************
**************************************
**************************
If the Option is exercised, the closing of the transaction shall occur
15 days thereafter at the principal offices of the General Partner. At closing,
the purchasing Partner shall pay, in cash, to the selling Partner the applicable
purchase price for the Units being purchased, and the selling Partner shall
assign the Units being purchased to the purchasing Partner free and clear of all
liens and encumbrances other than those under this Agreement and the Ownership
Restriction Agreement.
If the Contributing Partner will incur a taxable gain (excluding any
income associated with the interest portion of the purchase price under clause
(ii) above) as a result of the sale of Units pursuant to the Option, the amount
of the purchase price payable at closing by the Non-Contributing Partner shall
be increased by an amount, if any, equal to (i) the then highest federal
marginal corporate income tax rate applied to the amount of such gain less (ii)
any savings or reduction of federal income tax resulting from any deduction or
credit which (x) is allowed for federal income tax purposes and (y) decreased
the federal income tax basis of the Units sold. The parties will reasonably
cooperate with each other in determining the amount, if any, of any such gain,
including any such
* Confidential treatment requested: material has been omitted and filed
separately with the Commission.

-10-
determination that may be requested by the Non-Contributing Partner in
anticipation of the possible exercise of the Option.
If the parties determine that the Contributing Partner would incur such
a taxable gain if the Option is exercised, then, upon the request of the
Non-Contributing Partner, the parties will reasonably cooperate with each other
to explore other means to achieve the same limited right to "catch up" on
previously unfunded Capital Contributions that would not involve the
Non-Contributing Partner having to pay an increased purchase price to cover the
Contributing Partner's taxable gain; provided that any such alternative must be
no less favorable, in economic terms and tax effects, to the Contributing
Partner. One such alternative may be to allow Capital Contributions that are
anticipated to be needed to fund the operations of the Partnership prior to the
Outside Date to be made on a disproportionately increased basis by the
Non-Contributing Partner with an corresponding special allocation or
re-allocation to adjust the relative Capital Account balances of the
Contributing Partner and Non-Contributing Partner so that they are in the same
proportion as Units after giving effect to such disproportionate contributions.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the parties
agree that the Non-Contributing Partner shall never be required or obligated to
pay interest in excess of the maximum non-usurious interest rate as may be
authorized by applicable law. It is the intention of the parties to conform
strictly to the applicable laws which limit interest rates, and any of the
provisions of this Agreement for interest (or which may be deemed to be
interest), if and to the extent payable by the Non-Contributing Partner, shall
be held to be subject to reduction to the maximum non-usurious interest rate
allowed under said law.
ARTICLE 5
CAPITAL ACCOUNTS
----------------
5.1 CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. A capital account ("CAPITAL ACCOUNT") shall be
established for each Partner. A Partner's Capital Account shall be credited with
the fair market value (as determined in the sole judgment of the General
Partner) of property contributed and the amounts of cash contributed to the
Partnership by such Partner and shall be credited or charged, as the case may
be, with such Partner's share of Partnership items of book income, gain, loss
and deduction for each fiscal year of the Partnership determined pursuant to
ARTICLE 7 below. Each Partner's Capital Account shall be charged with the fair
market value (as determined in the sole judgment of the General Partner) of any
property
* Confidential treatment requested: material has been omitted and filed
separately with the Commission.
11
-11-
distributed and the amount of cash distributed to such Partner. The respective
Capital Accounts of the Partners shall not bear interest.
5.2 ADJUSTMENTS TO CAPITAL ACCOUNTS UPON REVALUATION OF PROPERTY. Upon
the occurrence of (a) the admission of an additional or substituted Limited
Partner, (b) an extraordinary (as determined by the General Partner)
distribution of property by the Partnership, or (c) the liquidation of the
Partnership (each an "ADJUSTMENT EVENT"), then, upon any such event, the Gross
Asset Value immediately before the Adjustment Event shall be determined. The
property of the Partnership shall thereafter be treated as if it were sold by
the Partnership and any gain or loss resulting therefrom shall be allocated
among the Partners in accordance with ARTICLE 7 hereof as of the date
immediately before the Adjustment Event resulting in the valuation of
Partnership assets. Such allocation of gain or loss shall thereafter be
reflected in the Capital Accounts of the Partners for all purposes of this
Agreement. Solely for purposes of determining adjustments to Capital Accounts,
any net profit or net loss shall be determined using the Gross Asset Value
rather than the adjusted tax basis of the property of the Partnership.
5.3 COMPLIANCE WITH TREASURY REGULATIONS. Notwithstanding any provision
in this Agreement to the contrary, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be
maintained in accordance with Treasury Regulations, as amended from time to
time, and shall be adjusted as provided therein.
ARTICLE 6
DISTRIBUTIONS
-------------
Except as otherwise provided herein, Distributable Cash of the
Partnership shall be distributed on a ********* basis among the Partners ***
**** in accordance with **********************. The amount and timing of such
distributions shall be determined by the General Partner. The General Partner
shall have the absolute discretion to have any distribution treated as a return
of capital. That portion of any distribution which is treated as a return of
capital shall be made to the Partners ratably in proportion to their respective
Capital Accounts immediately prior to the distribution. The General Partner and
the Partnership shall incur no liability for making distributions in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement, whether or not the General Partner or the
Partnership have knowledge or notice of any transfer of ownership of any Units.
ARTICLE 7

-12-
7.1 BOOK ALLOCATIONS. Except as otherwise provided herein or unless
another allocation is required by the Code, Treasury Regulations, published
revenue rulings or judicial decisions, all items of Partnership book income,
gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated among the Partners pro rata
in accordance with their Unit Percentages in effect for the period during which
such items accrue. For purposes of computing each item of book income, gain,
deduction or loss, the determination, recognition and classification of such
item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for
federal income tax purposes.
7.2 Tax Allocations.
---------------
(a) CODE SECTION 704(c). Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, if any Partner has contributed or is treated as
contributing any property to the Partnership that has a Gross Asset
Value that is in excess of or less than its adjusted basis for federal
income tax purposes at the time of such contribution, then all gain,
loss, and deduction with respect to the contributed property shall,
solely for federal income tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners
so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted basis of
such property and its initial net asset value as required under Code
Section 704(c).
(b) PARTNERSHIP ASSET ADJUSTMENTS. In the event the Gross
Asset Value of any Partnership Asset is adjusted under SECTION 5.2
hereof, subsequent allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss, and
deduction with respect to such asset, as calculated for tax purposes,
shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such
asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in
accordance with the principals of Code Section 704(c) as is required
pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i).
(c) CONSISTENT ALLOCATION. Except as provided in SECTION
7.2(a) AND (b), Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit,
as calculated for tax purposes, shall be allocated among the Partners,
to the extent possible, in accordance with the allocations of the items
of Partnership book income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit allocated
pursuant to SECTION 7.1.
(d) ADJUSTMENTS BY THE PARTNERS. Any elections or other
decisions related to Partnership tax allocations pursuant to this
SECTION 7.2 shall be made by the General Partner of the Partnership in
a manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of
* Confidential treatment requested: material has been omitted and filed
separately with the Commission.

-13-
this Agreement. Partnership tax allocations pursuant to this SECTION
7.2 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 distributive share of the Partners items
of Partnership book income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit or
Partnership distributions to any of the Partners under this Agreement.
7.3 TRANSFER OF UNITS. Unless otherwise unanimously agreed by the
Partners, income, gain, loss, deduction or credit attributable to any Unit (or
portion thereof) which has been transferred shall be allocated between the
transferor and the transferee equally among the days of the Partnership's fiscal
year without regard to Partnership operations during such days.

(INCLUDING A COVERED PERSON'S OWN NEGLIGENCE) for any loss, damage or claim

behalf of the Partnership and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the
scope of authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except
that a Covered Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim
incurred by reason of such Covered Person's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith

Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person's professional
or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on

otherwise.

15.2 EXPENSES. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
expenses (including legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any
claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is sought under
this Agreement shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Partnership prior to
the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon
receipt by the Partnership of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered
Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person is
not entitled to be indemnified as authorized under this ARTICLE 15.
15.3 INSURANCE. The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance, to
the extent and in such amounts as the General Partner shall deem reasonable, on
