ARTICLE VIII

ALLOCATION OF INCOME AND

LOSS; DISTRIBUTIONS

8.1 Capital Accounts. Each Partner shall have a capital account to which such Partner’s Capital Contribution shall be credited, which capital account shall be maintained in the manner provided in United States Treasury Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), as amended from time to time. Each Partner’s share of the income or loss of the Partnership shall be credited or charged at least annually to such Partner’s capital account. All distributions to a Partner shall be charged to such Partner’s capital account. If property other than cash is distributed by the Partnership, the capital accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted to reflect how much gain or loss would have been allocated to the respective Partners if the property had been sold at the value or values assigned thereto for purposes of making the distribution. No interest shall be payable on the capital accounts of the Partners.

8.2 Allocation of Income or Loss: In General. Income and loss of the Partnership shall be determined in accordance with the rules for determining federal taxable income and loss. With respect to each fiscal year the General Partner shall be allocated the percentage of all amounts of income, gain, loss or deduction for the year determined pursuant to regulations promulgated under the Code, subject to the provisions of this Article VIII.

8.3 Allocation of Income, Gain, Loss or Deduction; Distribution of Available Cash Flow. (a) The General Partner shall cause all amounts of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Partnership to be allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partner.

(b) except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.3, the General Partner shall distribute the Available Cash Flow of the Partnership in accordance with the allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction made pursuant to Section 8.3(a); provided, however, to the extent any amount of a cash distribution would create or increase a deficit in the capital account of any Partner, such amount shall not be distributed to such Partner. Such distributions shall be made in quarterly installments within 45 days after the end of each calendar quarter or at such time or times as the General Partner shall deem practicable. The General Partner shall have the right to withhold any distribution of Available Cash Flow if it deems it to be in the best interest of the Partnership to do so.

8.4 Distribution of Sale Proceeds. The General Partner shall distribute an amount of the Sale Proceeds to the General Partner determined by multiplying the General Partnership Percentage by the amount of the Sale Proceeds, and the remaining Sale Proceeds, equal to the Limited Partnership Percentage, to the Limited Partner at the time of the distribution; provided, however, that to the extent that any amount of a cash distribution to any Partner would create or increase a deficit in the capital account of such Partner, such amount shall not be distributed to such Partner but shall be distributed to the other Partner in proportion to the amounts distributed to such other Partner without regard to this proviso. Such distribution shall be made as soon after the receipt by the Partnership of such Sale Proceeds as the General Partner deems practicable.

8.5 Consequences of Distributions. Upon the determination to distribute funds in any manner expressly provided in this Article VIII, made in good faith, the General Partner shall incur no liability on account of such distribution, even though such distribution may have resulted in the Partnership retaining insufficient funds for the operation of its business, which insufficiency resulted in loss to the Partnership or necessitated the borrowing of funds by the Partnership.

8.6 Allocation of Net Income, Net Loss and Distributions in Respect of Units Transferred or Sold by the Partnership. If one or more Units are transferred during any fiscal year of the Partnership, the Net Income or net loss attributable to such Unit or Units for such fiscal year shall be divided and allocated between the transferor and the transferee based on the time each such party was, according to the books and records of the Partnership, the owner of record of the Unit or Units transferred during the year in which the transfer occurs. Distributions of Partnership assets in respect of Units shall be made only to persons who, according to the books and records of the Partnership, are the owners of such Units on a date selected by the General Partner. The General Partner and the Partnership shall incur no liability for making distributions in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence unless the General Partner or the Partnership has actual knowledge or notice of any transfer of ownership of any Unit or Units.

ARTICLE IX

RIGHTS, POWERS AND OBLIGATIONS

OF THE GENERAL PARTNER; ESTABLISHMENT

OF ADVISORY COMMITTEE

9.1 Powers. Subject to the provisions of Sections 9.4 and 9.5 below, the management and control of the Partnership and its business and affairs shall rest exclusively with the General Partner, which shall have all the rights and powers which may be possessed by a general partner pursuant to Alabama law, and such additional rights and powers as are otherwise conferred by law or are necessary, advisable or convenient to the discharge of its duties under this Agreement.

(a) spend the capital and net income of the Partnership in the exercise of any rights or powers possessed by the General Partner hereunder;

(g) subject to the provisions of Section 9.4(v) of this Agreement, sell or otherwise dispose of, under such terms and conditions as the General Partner deems advisable for the Partnership, or for any purpose convenient or beneficial to the Partnership, any of the assets of the Partnership (other than the Real Property);

(h) invest in short-term debt obligations (including without limitation, obligations of Federal and state governments and their agencies, commercial paper and certificates of deposit of commercial banks, savings banks or savings and loan associations) and “money market” mutual funds, such funds as are temporarily not required for the purposes of the Partnership’s operations, which investments shall be considered as “available cash” for purposes of determining Available Cash Flow;

(i) contract with any person (including Affiliates of the General Partner) for the transaction of the business of the Partnership, which persons may, under the supervision of the General Partner, act as consultants, accountants, attorneys, brokers, escrow agents, leasing agents, or in any other capacity deemed by the General Partner necessary or desirable, and pay appropriate fees to any of such persons.

9.2 Independent Activities. The Partnership shall be considered to be an entity and business wholly separate, for all purposes, from the business and affairs of the Partners, it being understood that the only obligations undertaken by the Partners are those expressly provided in this Agreement and those which are inherent in the role of a partner of a limited partnership. Each Partner may engage in whatever activities it chooses, whether or not the same be competitive with the Partnership, without having or incurring any obligation to offer any interest in such activities to the Partnership or any party hereto, and as a material part of the consideration for each Partner’s execution hereof, the other Partner hereby waives, relinquishes and renounces any such right or claim of participation.

9.3 Duties. The General Partner shall manage and control the Partnership and its business and affairs to the best of its ability and shall use its best efforts to carry out the business of the Partnership. The General Partner shall devote itself to the business of the Partnership to the extent that it, in its discretion, deems necessary for the efficient carrying on thereof. The General Partner shall act as a fiduciary with respect to the safekeeping and use of the funds and assets of the Partnership.

9.4 Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere herein, without obtaining the prior written consent of the Limited Partner, the General Partner shall not:

(ii) do any act which would make it impossible to carry on the ordinary business of the Partnership;

(iii) confess a judgment against the Partnership;

(iv) amend this Agreement;

(v) sell or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership;

(vi) sell, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber all or any part of the Real Property; or

(vii) grant any lease with respect to any portion of the Real Property for a term exceeding five years (including all options to renew or extend such lease).

9.5 Net Worth of the General Partner. The General Partner shall have and maintain at all times during which it is the general partner of the Partnership a net worth which is sufficient to conduct the business of the Partnership in a prudent manner and to comply with any requirements of the Code or the regulations thereunder or interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service thereof necessary to avoid the taxation of the Partnership as an association taxable as a corporation.

9.6 Indemnification. Neither the General Partner nor any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Partnership or the Limited Partner for any action or inaction of the General Partner in connection with the business or affairs of the Partnership, so long as the person against whom liability is asserted acted in good faith on behalf of the Partnership and in a manner reasonably believed by such person to be in the best interests of the Partnership. The General Partner and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership for any claim, liability, damage, loss, or other expense (including, without limitation, investigating and defending any claims and lawsuits and settlement thereof, and legal and accounting costs in connection therewith) incurred by them solely by virtue of the performance by any of them of the duties of the General Partner acting as general partner in connection with the Partnership’s business, so long as such indemnified person acted in good faith on behalf of the Partnership and in a manner reasonably believed by such person to be in the best interests of the Partnership; provided that such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless shall be recoverable only out of assets of the Partnership and not from the Limited Partner.

9.7 Succession as General Partner. The General Partner may not assign its General Partnership Interest, in whole or in part, to any subsidiary or other Affiliate of the General Partner, or to any other Person, without the prior written consent of the Limited Partner. Any corporation into which the General Partner may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the General Partner shall be a party (a “Successor Corporation”), shall be the successor of the General Partner hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided, however, that subject to applicable securities and similar laws, the General Partner shall timely notify the Limited Partner in writing of any such prospective merger or consolidation and that the General Partner shall require any such Successor Corporation to expressly accept, in writing, all terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and the Management Agreement. In any such event, the General Partner shall amend the Certificate within 60 days after such succession.

ARTICLE X

STATUS OF LIMITED PARTNER

10.1 No Participation in Management.

Except as may be otherwise so agreed, such powers to manage and transact Partnership business, to bind or otherwise act as the agent of the Partnership are vested solely and exclusively in the General Partner.

10.2 Limited Liability.

10.3 Investment Intent. The Limited Partner represents and warrants to the Partnership and to the General Partner that it has acquired its Units and interest in the Partnership for investment solely for its own account with the intention of holding such Units and interest for investment, without any intention of participating directly or indirectly in any distribution of any portion of such Units or interest, and without the financial participation of any other person in acquiring its Units or interest in the Partnership.

10.4 Unregistered Limited Partnership Interests. The Limited Partner acknowledges that it is aware that its Units and interest in the Partnership have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, or under any state securities laws.

The Limited Partner acknowledges that prior to its execution of this Agreement, it received a copy of this Agreement and such other documents relating to the Partnership, the General Partner and the proposed activities of the Partnership as it deems relevant to its investment in the Partnership and that it has examined such documents or caused such documents to be examined by its attorney and financial advisers. The Limited Partner acknowledges that it understands that the purchase of its interest in the Partnership is a speculative investment involving a high degree of risk and represents that it has a net worth sufficient to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Partnership and to justify its investing in a highly speculative venture such as the Partnership.
