On any date that Crescent Equities provides Additional Funds to the Partnership (the “Funding Date”):

          B. Effective on each Adjustment Date, Crescent Equities shall receive an additional Partnership Interest (and the Partnership Interest of each Limited Partner other than Crescent Equities shall be reduced) such that:

             (1) the Partnership Interest of each Limited Partner not owning Partnership Units (other than Crescent Equities) shall be equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the Deemed Partnership Interest Value of such Limited Partner (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the Adjustment Date) and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (i) the Deemed Value of the Partnership (computed as of the Business Day

immediately preceding the Adjustment Date) and (ii) the amount of Contributed Funds contributed by Crescent Equities on such Adjustment Date;

             (2) the combined Partnership Interest of Crescent Equities and the General Partner shall be equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the sum of (i) the combined Deemed Partnership Interest Value of Crescent Equities and the General Partner (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the Adjustment Date) and (ii) the amount of the Contributed Funds contributed by Crescent Equities on such Adjustment Date and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (x) the Deemed Value of the Partnership (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the Adjustment Date) and (y) the amount of the Contributed Funds contributed by Crescent Equities on such Adjustment Date. The Partnership Interest of the General Partner shall remain one percent (1%), and the Partnership Interest of Crescent Equities shall be equal to the combined Partnership Interest determined in clause (2) of the preceding sentence, reduced by one percentage point (1%); and

             (3) the Partnership Interest of each Limited Partner owning Partnership Units shall be equal to the product of the following: (i) the difference obtained from subtracting (x) the sum of the combined Partnership Interest of Crescent Equities and the General Partner as calculated in Section 4.2.B(2) hereof, plus the aggregate Non-Unitholder Partnership Interests as calculated in Section 4.2.B(1) hereof, from (y) one hundred percent (100%), and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner on such Adjustment Date, and the denominator of which is equal to the total number of Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners on such Adjustment Date.

     The General Partner shall be authorized on behalf of each of the Partners to amend this Agreement to reflect the increase in the Partnership Interest of Crescent Equities and the corresponding reduction of the Partnership Interests of the other Limited Partners in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.2. The number of Partnership Units owned by the Limited Partners and Assignees shall not be decreased in connection with any additional contribution of funds to the Partnership by Crescent Equities pursuant to this Section 4.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for purposes of calculating the “Deemed Value of the Partnership” and the “Deemed Partnership Interest Value” under this Section 4.2.B with respect to cash amounts raised by Crescent in a private placement or public offering of REIT Shares and contributed to the Partnership as Contributed Funds, the Value” of a REIT Share shall be the gross offering price (prior to deduction of any expenses, including without limitation selling commissions or underwriting discounts) per REIT Share sold in the private placement or public offering.

          C. The Partners hereby acknowledge and agree that any Additional Funds provided by the Crescent Group (through Crescent Equities) to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 4.2 may be in the form of real property or an interest therein rather than cash. In the event that real property or an interest therein is contributed by Crescent Equities to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 4.2:

             (1) to the extent that the consideration given in exchange for such real property or interest therein is in the form of indebtedness, Crescent Equities shall be deemed to

have made a Crescent Loan to the Partnership pursuant to Section 4.2.A(1) hereof in an amount equal to the amount of such indebtedness; and

             (2) to the extent that the consideration given in exchange for such real property or interest therein is in the form of cash or REIT Shares, (i) Crescent Equities shall be deemed to have contributed Contributed Funds to the Partnership pursuant to Section 4.2.A(2) hereof in an amount equal to the amount of cash or the Value (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such real property or interest therein is contributed to the Partnership) of the REIT Shares given as consideration, and (ii) the Partnership Interests of the Limited Partners shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 4.2.B hereof.

     At any time after the date hereof, without the consent of any Partner, but subject to the provisions of Section 12.2 hereof, the General Partner may, upon its determination that the issuance of additional Partnership Interests is in the best interests of the Partnership, cause the Partnership to issue Partnership Interests to and admit as a limited partner in the Partnership, any Person (the “Additional Limited Partner”) in exchange for the contribution by such Person of cash and/or property in such amounts as is determined appropriate by the General Partner to further the purposes of the Partnership under Section 3.1 hereof. In the event that an Additional Limited Partner is admitted to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 4.3:

	(1)		if the Additional Limited Partner does not receive any Partnership Units in connection with the receipt of his or its Partnership Interest, the Partnership Interest of such Additional Limited Partner shall be equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the total dollar amount of the cash contributed and/or the Net Asset Value of the property contributed by the Additional Limited Partner as of the date of contribution to the Partnership (the “Contribution Date”) and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (i) the Deemed Value of the Partnership (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the Contribution Date) and (ii) the total dollar amount of the cash contributed and/or the Net Asset Value of the property contributed by the Additional Partner as of the Contribution Date;
	(2)		the Partnership Interest of Crescent Equities shall be reduced, as of the Contribution Date, such that the combined Partnership Interest of Crescent Equities and the General Partner shall be equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the combined Deemed Partnership Interest Value of Crescent Equities and the General Partner (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the Contribution Date) and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (i) the Deemed Value of the Partnership (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the Contribution

			Date) and (ii) the total dollar amount of the cash contributed and/or the Net Asset Value of the property contributed by the Additional Limited Partner as of the Contribution Date (with the Partnership Interest of the General Partner remaining at one percent (1%), and the Partnership Interest of Crescent Equities equal to the combined Partnership Interest determined above in this Section 4.3(2), reduced by one percentage point (1%));
	(3)		the Partnership Interest of each existing Limited Partner not owning Partnership Units (other than Crescent Equities) shall be reduced, as of the Contribution Date, such that the Partnership Interest of each such Limited Partner shall be equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the Deemed Partnership Interest Value of such Limited Partner (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the Contribution Date) and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (i) the Deemed Value of the Partnership (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the Contribution Date) and (ii) the total dollar amount of the cash contributed and/or the Net Asset Value of the property contributed by the Additional Limited Partner as of the Contribution Date; and
	(4)		The Partnership Interest of each existing Limited Partner owning Partnership Units and of the Additional Limited Partner, if such Additional Partner receives Partnership Units in connection with the receipt of his or its Partnership Interest, shall be equal to the product of the following: (i) the difference obtained from subtracting (x) the sum of the combined Partnership Interest of Crescent Equities and the General Partner as calculated in Section 4.3(2) hereof, plus the aggregate Non-Unitholder Partnership Interests as calculated in Sections 4.2(1) and (3) hereof, from (y) one hundred percent (100%), and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner on such Contribution Date, and the denominator of which is equal to the total number of Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners (including the Additional Limited Partner) on such Contribution Date.

     The General Partner shall be authorized on behalf of each of the Partners to amend this Agreement to reflect the admission of any Additional Limited Partner and any reduction of the Partnership Interests of the other Limited Partners in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.3.

     The number of Partnership Units owned by the Limited Partners and Assignees shall not be decreased in connection with any admission of an Additional Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 4.3. The General Partner may (but is not required to) grant to an Additional Limited Partner Partnership Units, which Partnership Units shall enable the Additional Limited Partner to participate in the Exchange Rights, upon such terms and conditions as are deemed appropriate by the General Partner. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the value of the Partnership Units granted to an Additional Limited Partner is determined based on

the average of the “closing price” of a REIT Share for a period of time other than the ten (10)-day period specified in the Article I definition of “Value” (including, without limitation, a determination based on the “closing price” of a REIT Share for the Trading Day immediately preceding the admission of such Additional Limited Partner), then such other time period shall be used in calculating the “Value” of a REIT Share for purposes of calculating the “Deemed Value of the Partnership” and the “Deemed Partnership Interest Value” under this Section 4.3 with respect to the admission of such Additional Limited Partner.

     Section 4.4 No Preemptive Rights

             (2) Crescent Equities shall, as of the date on which the grant of REIT Shares is made, be deemed to have contributed to the Partnership as Contributed Funds pursuant to Section 4.2.A(2) hereof an amount equal to the fair market value (computed using the “closing price” (as such term is defined in the definition of the term “Value” in Article I hereof) as of the date on which the grant of REIT Shares is made) of the REIT Shares delivered by Crescent Equities to such party; and

             (3) the General Partner’s Partnership Interest shall remain unchanged, and the Partnership Interests of Crescent Equities and the other Limited Partners shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 4.2, based on the amount deemed to be contributed, determined pursuant to Section 4.6.A(2); provided that, for purposes of calculating the “Deemed Value of the Partnership” and the “Deemed Partnership Interest Value” under Section 4.2, the “Value” of a REIT Share shall be the “closing price” (as such term is defined in the definition of the term Value” in Article I hereof) of a REIT Share as of the date on which the grant of REIT Shares is made.

          B. Exercise of Stock Options. If stock options granted in connection with a Stock Incentive Plan are exercised:

             (3) the General Partner’s Partnership Interest shall remain unchanged, and the Partnership Interests of Crescent Equities and the other Limited Partners shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 4.2, based on the amount deemed to be contributed, determined pursuant to Section 4.6.B(2); provided that, for purposes of calculating the “Deemed Value of the Partnership” and the “Deemed Partnership Interest Value” under Section 4.2, the “Value” of a REIT Share shall be the “closing price” (as such term is defined in the definition of the term “Value” in Article I hereof) of a REIT Share as of the date on which the purchase of REIT Shares is consummated by the exercising party.

     Section 4.7 Other Equity Compensation Plans

          A. The Partnership may adopt a compensation plan for its employees, agents or consultants pursuant to which the Partnership may grant Limited Partnership Interests (including Partnership Units, which Partnership Units shall enable the Limited Partner to participate in the Exchange Rights), or options to acquire Limited Partnership Interests (including Partnership Units, which Partnership Units shall enable the Limited Partner to participate in the Exchange Rights), to one or more of its employees, agents or consultants upon such terns and conditions as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the General Partner.

          C. Upon any admission of an employee, agent or consultant of the Partnership or the Management Company as an additional Limited Partner (an “Employee Limited Partner”) pursuant to Section 4.7.A or 4.7.B above, the Partnership Interests of the other

Partners shall be diluted, on a pro rata basis, in proportion to their respective Partnership Interests, to reflect the admission of the Employee Limited Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership Interest of the General Partner shall not be diluted upon the admission of the Employee Limited Partner; any dilution that would otherwise occur with respect to the Partnership Interest of the General Partner in accordance with the terms of the preceding sentence shall be allocated instead to Crescent Equities. The number of Partnership Units owned by the Limited Partners and Assignees shall not be decreased in connection with any admission of an Employee Limited Partner.

          D. In addition to the compensation plans described in Sections 4.6, 4.7.A and 4.7.B hereof, the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the approval of the Limited Partners, may propose and adopt on behalf of the Partnership employee benefit plans or other incentive compensation plans (including, without limitation, plans granting REIT Shares or options to purchase REIT Shares, plans granting Partnership Interests (including Partnership Units) or options to purchase Partnership Interests (including Partnership Units), “phantom” equity plans or other plans in which compensation is tied to revenue or income amounts, or based on increases in the market value of equity ownership interests) for the benefit of employees, agents or consultants of any member of the Crescent Group, the Partnership, the Management Company, the Subsidiary Development Corporation(s) or any Affiliate of the foregoing in respect of services performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Crescent Group, the Partnership, the Management Company or the Subsidiary Development Corporation(s).

On April 26, 2002, Crescent Equities issued an additional 2,800,000 Series A Preferred Shares, and the Partnership issued an additional 2,800,000 Series A Preferred Partnership Units to Crescent Equities.

Crescent Equities shall have a zero percentage Partnership Interest with respect to such Series B Redeemable Preferred Partnership Units and shall have no voting rights other than the right to vote on any amendment to this Agreement if such amendment would (i) convert the Series B Redeemable Preferred Partnership Units into a general partner’s interest, (ii) modify the limited liability of Crescent Equities with respect to the Series B Redeemable Preferred Partnership Units, or (iii) alter the distribution, redemption, conversion or liquidation rights of the Series B Redeemable Preferred Partnership Units.

In the event that Crescent Equities exercises its redemption right with respect to the Series B Redeemable Preferred Shares, the Partnership shall concurrently redeem a corresponding amount of Series B Redeemable Preferred Partnership Units at the same redemption price paid by Crescent Equities for the Series B Redeemable Preferred Shares (i.e., a redemption price of $25 per Series B Redeemable Preferred Share, plus any accrued, unpaid quarterly distribution thereon).

          D. Conversion Rights. Upon exercise of any conversion right with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares, (i) Crescent Equities shall, as of the date on which the conversion is consummated, be deemed to have contributed to the Partnership as Contributed Funds pursuant to Section 4.2.A(2) of the Agreement an amount equal to the Value (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such conversion is consummated) of the REIT Shares delivered by Crescent Equities to such holder of Series A Preferred Shares, (ii) the Partnership Interests of Crescent Equities and the other Limited Partners shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 4.2 of the Agreement, and (iii) a corresponding portion of Series A Preferred Partnership Units shall be retired. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Crescent Equities pays cash to the holder of Series A Preferred Shares in lieu of fractional shares upon conversion of such Series A Preferred Shares to REIT Shares, such cash payment shall be treated as a redemption of the corresponding portion of the Series A Preferred Shares and the Partnership shall concurrently redeem a corresponding amount of Series A Preferred Partnership Units at the same redemption price paid by Crescent Equities for the Series A Preferred Shares.

     Section 4.9 Issuance of Partnership Interests to Employees of the Crescent Group

          A. Pursuant to Section 4.7.D of the Agreement, the Partnership has adopted that certain 2004 Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited Partnership Special High Performance

Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “High Performance Plan”) and that certain 2005 Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited Partnership Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2005 Incentive Plan”). Under the High Performance Plan, the Partnership has issued (and may from time to time in the future issue) Partnership Interests, including Partnership Units, to certain officers of the General Partner, and under the 2005 Incentive Plan, the Partnership has issued (and may from time to time in the future issue) Partnership Interests, including Partnership Units, to certain employees of the General Partner or of Crescent Equities (such persons hereinafter referred to individually as a “Grantee” and collectively as the “Grantees”) pursuant to separate grant agreements entitled “Grant Agreement for Partnership Units and Partnership Interest” between the Partnership and each Grantee (hereinafter referred to individually as a “Grant Agreement” and collectively as the “Grant Agreements”).

          B. The Partnership Interests and associated Partnership Units issued to the Grantees shall have the same benefits and obligations as other Partnership Interests and associated Partnership Units, including without limitation voting rights and distribution rights, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or the Grant Agreements.

          C. Grantees may be subject to certain vesting requirements under the Grant Agreements.

          D. Grantees may be subject to certain conditions on the exercise of Exchange Rights with respect to their Partnership Units under the Grant Agreements.

          E. Grantees may be subject to certain limitations on the amount payable to the Grantees in connection with a transaction described in Section 11.2.B(1) under the Grant Agreements.

          F. Unless otherwise provided in the Grant Agreement, the initial Capital Contribution and initial Capital Account balance of each Grantee with respect to the Partnership Interest awarded under the Grant Agreement shall be zero.

          G. Each Grantee shall be entitled to receive distributions in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation Article V and Section 13.2) with respect to the vested portion of his or her Partnership Interest, commencing as of the date on which the portion of the Partnership Interest is vested. A Grantee shall not be entitled to receive cash or in-kind distributions under Section 5.2 with respect to the unvested portion of his or her Partnership Interest. Upon the vesting of a Grantee’s Partnership Interest (or portion thereof), including without limitation a vesting that occurs in connection with a transaction described in Section 11.2.B hereof or a dissolution of the Partnership, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive a distribution from the Partnership in an amount equal to the aggregate distributions that would have been payable to the Grantee under Section 5.2 with respect to such Partnership Interest (or portion thereof) during the period from the date of grant to the vesting date if such Partnership Interest (or portion thereof) had been vested on the date of grant.

          H. Each Grantee shall be allocated items of Partnership income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to his or her Partnership Interest in accordance with the provisions of Article VI, commencing as of the date on which the grant of the Partnership Interest is made to

the Grantee. If the unvested portion of a Grantee’s Partnership Interest expires pursuant to the terms of the Grant Agreement or is disclaimed by the Grantee, (1) the Grantee shall be allocated items of gross deduction and loss in the taxable year during which such expiration or disclaimer occurs in an amount sufficient to reduce to zero the Capital Account allocable to the portion of the Grantee’s Partnership Interest that has expired or been disclaimed, and (2) the Grantee shall be allocated no other items of Partnership income, gain, loss and deduction for such taxable year or any future taxable year with respect to the expired or disclaimed portion of his or her Partnership Interest. An expired or disclaimed Partnership Interest shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as if it had been redeemed by the Partnership for no consideration, effective as of the expiration or disclaimer date, as the case may be.

          I. The General Partner may (but shall not be required to) make tax distributions to the Grantees with respect to the unvested portions of their Partnership Interests. Any tax distributions to a Grantee with respect to a particular taxable year shall not exceed the lesser of (1) an amount equal to the product of (x) the net taxable income allocated to such Grantee with respect to his or her unvested Partnership Interest for such taxable year multiplied by forty-five percent, and (2) the amount of distributions that the Grantee would have received under Article V if his Partnership Interest were vested. Any tax distributions shall be made to the Grantees on a pro rata basis, in proportion to the respective unvested Partnership Interests owned by each of the Grantees. Tax distributions made under this Section 4.9.I shall be treated as advance payments of the amounts that are distributable to the Grantees under the other provisions of this Agreement and shall be offset against any such other amounts distributable to the Grantees.

          J. Upon any admission of a Grantee as an additional Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 4.9, the General Partner’s Partnership Interest shall remain unchanged, and the Partnership Interests of Crescent Equities and the other Limited Partners shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 4.3; provided that, (1) for purposes of calculating the “Deemed Value of the Partnership” and the “Deemed Partnership Interest Value” under Section 4.3, the “Value” of a REIT Share shall be the “closing price” (as such term is defined in the definition of the term “Value” in Article I hereof) of a REIT Share as of the date on which the grant of the Partnership Interest is made to the Grantee, and (2) the denominator used in the calculations under Section 4.3 shall be the sum of (i) the Deemed Value of the Partnership plus (ii) an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of Partnership Units granted to the Grantee, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Factor, multiplied by (z) the “closing price” (as such term is defined in the definition of the term “Value” in Article I hereof) of a REIT Share on the date on which the grant of the Partnership Interest is made to the Grantee.

          K. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the penultimate sentence of Section 12.2B, each Grantee that receives a Partnership Interest under this Section 4.9 during December 2004 shall receive allocations under the second sentence of Section 12.2B as if such Grantee had been admitted on the first day of December, 2004.

          L. The Partnership Interests and associated Partnership Units issued to Grantees shall be identified in Exhibit A to this Agreement.

          M. In addition to obtaining any required consent of the Grantees as Limited Partners to certain amendments of the Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.1.C, the General Partner shall be required to obtain the prior written consent of each Grantee adversely affected prior to amending the provisions of this Section 4.9 or the provisions of Section 1.D of Exhibit B.

Each year, gross income of the Partnership shall be allocated first to Crescent Equities until the cumulative amount allocated under this Section 6.3.A to Crescent Equities for the current year and all prior years is equal to the cumulative amount for the current year and all prior years of the sum of (A) the distributions made to Crescent Equities under Section 5.6 of this Agreement, (B) the portion of the distributions made to Crescent Equities under Section 4.8.C of this Agreement (if any) that exceeds $25 per Series A Preferred Partnership Unit and (C) the portion of the distributions made to Crescent Equities under paragraph Section 4.8.C of this Agreement (if any) that exceeds $25 per Series B Redeemable Preferred Partnership Unit. Any remaining Net Profits or Net Losses (other than gain or loss from a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, which shall be allocated as set forth in Sections 6.3.B and C below) shall be allocated as set forth in Sections 6.1.A and B above.

          B. The gain of the Partnership from a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners as follows: (A) first, to Crescent Equities in the amount necessary to cause its Capital Account balance to be equal to the liquidation preferences payable by Crescent Equities on the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Redeemable Preferred Shares (the “Liquidation Preferences”) (i.e., a liquidation payment of $25 per Series A Preferred Share, plus any accrued, unpaid quarterly distribution thereon, and a liquidation payment of $25 per Series B Redeemable Preferred Share, plus any accrued, unpaid quarterly distribution thereon, subject to reduction on a pro rata basis (as more fully set forth in the respective Statements of Designation for the Series A Preferred Shares and the Series B Redeemable Preferred Shares) to the extent that there are insufficient

funds to pay the aforementioned liquidation preferences in full), (B) second, to the Grantees, in the amounts necessary, and in the ratio of such amounts, so as to cause the Capital Account balance of each Grantee to equal the Deferred Distribution Amount, if any, of such Grantee, (C) third, to the Partners in the amounts necessary, and in the ratio of such amounts, to cause the Capital Account balance of Crescent Equities in excess of the Liquidation Preferences, the Capital Account balance of each Grantee in excess of his or her Deferred Distribution Amount, if any, and the Capital Account of each other Partner to be in the same ratio as their respective Partnership Interests, and (D) thereafter, to all of the Partners in proportion to their respective Partnership Interests.

          C. The loss of the Partnership from a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners as follows: (A) first, to the Partners, if any, having positive Capital Account balances, in the amounts necessary, and in the ratio of such amounts, so as to cause the positive Capital Account Balance of Crescent Equities to equal the Liquidation Preferences, the positive Capital Acccount balance of each Grantee to equal the Deferred Distribution Distribution Amount of such Grantee, if any, and the positive Capital Account balance of each other Partner to equal zero (or, if there is insufficient loss to accomplish this result, loss shall be allocated in a manner so as to cause the positive Capital Account balance of Crescent Equities in excess of the Liquidation Preferences, the positive Capital Account balance of each Grantee in excess of his or her Deferred Distribution Amount, if any, and the positive Capital Account balance of each other Partner to be in the same ratio as their respective Partnership Interests), (B) second, to the Grantees, in the amounts necessary, and in the ratio of such amounts, so as to cause the positive Capital Account of each Grantee to equal zero, (C) third, to Crescent Equities, until its positive Capital Account balance equals zero, and (D) thereafter, to the Partners in proportion to their respective Partnership Interests.

          D. The provisions of Sections 6.3.B and 6.3.C above, which provide for a special allocation of gain and loss from a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, shall continue to apply for the entire term of the Partnership, even if there are no longer any Series A Preferred Partnership Units or Series B Redeemable Preferred Partnership Units outstanding (in such event, the Liquidation Preferences of Crescent Equities under Sections 6.3.B and 6.3.C shall be zero).

ARTICLE VII

The execution, delivery or performance by the General Partner or the Partnership of any agreement authorized or permitted under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach by the General Partner of any duty that the General Partner may owe the Partnership or the Limited Partners or any other Persons under this Agreement or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity.

          C. At all times from and after the date hereof, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to obtain and maintain (i) casualty, liability and other insurance on the properties of the Partnership and (ii) liability insurance for the Indemnitees hereunder.

          D. At all times from and after the date hereof, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to establish and maintain working capital reserves in such amounts as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems appropriate and reasonable from time to time.

          E. In exercising its authority under this Agreement, the General Partner may, but shall be under no obligation to, take into account the tax consequences to any Partner of any action taken by it. The General Partner and the Partnership shall not have liability to a Limited Partner under any circumstances as a result of an income tax liability incurred by such Limited Partner as a result of an action (or inaction) by the General Partner pursuant to its authority under this Agreement.

     Section 7.2 Certificate of Limited Partnership

     To the extent that such action is determined by the General Partner to be necessary or appropriate, the General Partner shall file amendments to and restatements of the Certificate and do all things necessary or appropriate to maintain the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) under the laws of the State of Delaware and each other jurisdiction in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. Subject to the terms of Section 8.5.A(3) hereof, the General Partner shall not be required, before or after filing, to deliver or mail a copy of the Certificate or any amendment thereto to any Limited Partner. The General Partner shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be filed such other certificates or documents as may be reasonable and necessary or appropriate for the continuation, qualification and operation of a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) in the State of Delaware and any other jurisdiction in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property.

     Section 7.3 Restrictions on General Partner’s Authority

     The General Partner shall not have the authority to:

          A. take any action in contravention of this Agreement or which would make it impossible to carry on the ordinary business of the Partnership;

B. possess Partnership property, or assign any rights in specific Partnership property, for other than a Partnership purpose;

          C. do any act in contravention of applicable law; or

          D. perform any act that would subject a Limited Partner to liability as a general partner in any jurisdiction or any other liability except as provided herein or under the Act.

     Section 7.4 Reimbursement of the Crescent Group

          A. Except as provided in this Section 7.4 and elsewhere in this Agreement (including the provisions of Articles 5 and 6 regarding distributions, payments, and allocations to which it may be entitled), the General Partner shall not be compensated for its services as general partner of the Partnership.

          B. The Crescent Group shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, for all expenses the Crescent Group incurs relating to the ownership and operation of, or for the benefit of, the Partnership, provided that the amount of any such reimbursement shall be reduced by any income received by the Crescent Group with respect to bank accounts or other assets held by it as permitted in Section 7.5. The Limited Partners acknowledge that the Crescent Group’s sole business is the ownership of interests in and operation of the Partnership, and that all of the Crescent Group’s operating expenses (including, without limitation, costs and expenses relating to the formation and continuity of existence of the Crescent Group, costs and expenses associated with compliance with the periodic reporting requirements and all other rules and regulations of the SEC or any other federal, state or local regulatory body, salaries payable to officers and employees of the Crescent Group, fees and expenses payable to directors of the Crescent Group, costs and expenses relating to the bank accounts or other assets held by the Crescent Group as permitted in Section 7.5 and all other operating, debt service or administrative costs of the Crescent Group) are incurred for the benefit of the Partnership and shall be reimbursed by the Partnership. Such reimbursements shall be in addition to any reimbursement to the Crescent Group as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof. If and to the extent any reimbursements to the Crescent Group are determined for federal income tax purposes not to constitute payment of expenses of the Partnership, the amounts so determined shall constitute guaranteed payments within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, shall be treated consistently therewith by the Partnership and all Partners, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Partners’ Capital Accounts.

     Section 7.5 Outside Activities of the Crescent Group

     The Crescent Group shall not directly or indirectly enter into or conduct any business, other than in connection with the ownership, acquisition and disposition of Partnership Interests and the management of the business of the Partnership, and such activities as are incidental thereto. The Crescent Group shall not own any assets other than Partnership Interests in the Partnership, and such bank accounts or similar instruments as it deems necessary to carry out its responsibilities contemplated under this Agreement and the Declaration of Trust. The Crescent

Group shall not borrow funds for the purpose of making distributions to the shareholders of any member of the Crescent Group unless such borrowing is effectuated through the Partnership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 7.5, (1) Crescent Equities may form additional direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary entities to serve as general partners of partnerships or managing members of limited liability companies in which the Partnership also owns a direct or indirect ownership interest, provided that (i) the General Partner determines that the formation of the subsidiary entities is necessary or appropriate to further the business objectives of the Partnership and (ii) the subsidiary entities (a) make capital contributions in exchange for their ownership interests in the partnerships and limited liability companies on a pro rata basis with the Partnership and (b) do not own more than one percent (1%) of the total ownership interests in any such partnership or limited liability company, and (2) the Crescent Group may own such other assets as the General Partner determines are necessary and appropriate to further the business interests of the Partnership, upon such terms and conditions as the General Partner determines are necessary and appropriate to protect the interests of the Partnership.

     Section 7.6 Contracts with Affiliates

          A. The Partnership may contribute assets and loan funds to joint ventures, other partnerships, corporations or other business entities in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions consistent with this Agreement and applicable law as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems advisable. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any such other business entities.

          B. Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, no Partner or Affiliate of a Partner shall sell, transfer or convey any property to, purchase any property from, lend or borrow funds, provide services to, or enter into any other transaction with the Partnership, directly or indirectly, except pursuant to transactions that are on terms that are fair and reasonable and no less favorable to the Partnership than could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party.

          C. The General Partner is expressly authorized to enter into, in the name and on behalf of the Partnership, noncompetition agreements and other conflict avoidance agreements for its benefit with various Affiliates of the Partnership and its Partners, on such terms as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, believes are advisable.

     Section 7.7 Indemnification

          A. The Partnership shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and other legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to the operations of the Partnership as set forth in this Agreement in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, unless it is established that: (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the proceedings and either was committed in

bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) the Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Partnership or any subsidiary entity (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Partnership or any subsidiary entity has assumed or taken subject to), and the General Partner is hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Partnership, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.7 in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 7.7.A. The termination of any proceeding by conviction of an Indemnitee or upon a plea of nolo contendre or its equivalent by an Indemnitee, or an entry of an order of probation against an Indemnitee prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that such Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this Section 7.7.A with respect to the subject matter of such proceeding.

          B. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 7.7 shall be a contract right and shall include the right of each Indemnitee to be paid by the Partnership the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation of the Indemnitee of his or her good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership pursuant to this Section 7.7 has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.

          C. The indemnification provided pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to have the status of an Indemnitee pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of “Indemnitee” set forth in Article I hereof and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators of any such Person, or to a Person whose status as an lndemnitee was originally established pursuant to clause (ii) of such definition and was later terminated for any reason other than the affirmative decision of the General Partner to terminate such status; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 7.7.D with respect to proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the Partnership shall indemnify any such Person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the General Partner.

          D. If a claim under Sections 7.7.A, 7.7.B or 7.7.C is not paid in full by the Partnership within thirty (30) calendar days after a written claim has been received by the Partnership, the Indemnitee making such claim may at any time thereafter (but prior to payment of the claim) bring suit against the Partnership to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful, in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the Partnership) that the Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct set forth above which make it permissible for

the Partnership to indemnify the Indemnitee for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Partnership. Neither the failure of the Partnership to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth herein nor an actual determination by the Partnership that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

          E. Following any “change in control” of Crescent Equities of the type required to be reported under Item 1 of Form 8-K promulgated under the Exchange Act, any determination as to entitlement to indemnification shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by the Indemnitee, which such independent legal counsel shall be retained by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership and at the expense of the Partnership.

          F. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Section 7.7 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute or agreement, or pursuant to any vote of the Partners, or otherwise.

          G. The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, on its own behalf and on behalf of any Indemnitee and of such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability (including expenses) that may be asserted against and incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities pursuant to this Agreement, whether or not the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the terms of this Agreement. In addition, the Partnership may, together with Crescent Equities, enter into indemnification agreements with one or more of the Indemnitees pursuant to which the Partnership and Crescent Equities shall jointly and severally agree to indemnify such Indemnitee(s) to the fullest extent permitted by law, and advance to such Indemnitee(s) all related expenses, subject to reimbursement if it is subsequently determined that indemnification is not permitted.

          H. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of assets of the Partnership, and neither the General Partner nor any Limited Partner shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the Partnership or otherwise provide funds to enable the Partnership to fund its obligations under this Section 7.7.

          I. No Limited Partner shall be liable for the obligations of the Partnership by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.

          J. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part pursuant to this Section 7.7 because such lndemnitee has an interest in the transaction to which the indemnification relates if the transaction otherwise was permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

          K. The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators, and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Person. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this

Section 7.7 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the Partnership’s liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

     Section 7.8 Liability of the General Partner

          A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages to the Partnership or any Partners for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of errors in judgment or of any act or omission if the General Partner acted in good faith.

          B. The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the General Partner is acting on behalf of the Partnership and the shareholders of Crescent Equities collectively, that the General Partner is under no obligation to consider the separate interests of the Limited Partners (including, without limitation, the tax consequences to Limited Partners) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions, and that the General Partner shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived by Limited Partners in connection with such decisions, provided that the General Partner has acted in good faith.

          C. Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner set forth in Section 7.1.A hereof, the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its agents. The General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by it in good faith.

          D. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the General Partner’s liability to the Partnership and the Limited Partners under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

     Section 7.9 Other Matters Concerning the General Partner

          A. The General Partner may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

          B. The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such Persons as to matters which such General Partner reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith.

          C. The General Partner shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of its duly authorized officers and a duly appointed attorney or attorneys-in-fact. Each such attorney shall, to the extent provided by the General Partner in the power of attorney, have full power and authority to do and perform all and every act and duty which is permitted or required to be done by the General Partner hereunder.

          D. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Act, any action of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or any decision of the General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the Partnership, undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission is necessary or advisable in order (i) to protect the ability of Crescent Equities to achieve or maintain qualification as a REIT or (ii) to avoid the incurring by Crescent Equities of any taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners, to the extent such approval may be necessary.

     Section 7.10 Title to Partnership Assets

     Title to Partnership assets, whether real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Partnership as an entity, and no Partner, individually or collectively, shall have any ownership interest in such Partnership assets or any portion thereof. Title to any or all of the Partnership assets may be held in the name of the Partnership, the General Partner or one or more nominees, as the General Partner may determine, including Affiliates of the General Partner. The General Partner hereby declares and warrants that any Partnership assets for which legal title is held in the name of the General Partner or any nominee or Affiliate of the General Partner shall be held by the General Partner for use and benefit of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the General Partner shall use its best efforts to cause beneficial and record title to such assets to be vested in the Partnership as soon as reasonably practicable. All Partnership assets shall be recorded as the property of the Partnership in its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Partnership assets is held.

     Section 7.11 Reliance by Third Parties

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the General Partner has full power and authority to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Partnership and to enter into any contracts on behalf of the Partnership, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the General Partner as if it were the Partnership’s sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Limited Partner hereby waives any and all defenses or other remedies which may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the General Partner in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the General Partner or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the General Partner or its representatives. Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Partnership by the General Partner or its representatives shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (i) at the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement

was in full force and effect, (ii) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Partnership, and (iii) such certificate, document or instrument was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Partnership.

     Section 7.12 Limited Partner Representatives

     Any Limited Partner may (but shall not be required to) appoint a representative (the “Representative”) who shall have full power and authority to exercise all rights, including consent rights, of such Limited Partner under this Agreement. Any such appointment shall be made in a writing delivered by the Limited Partner to the General Partner. The same Person may serve as Representative for more than one Limited Partner. Any action taken by a Representative on behalf of a Limited Partner shall be fully binding on such Limited Partner. The General Partner shall be entitled to rely on the actions taken by a Representative without further evidence of its authority or further action by the Limited Partner who appointed such Representative. Any appointment of a Representative shall remain effective until rescinded in a writing delivered by the Limited Partner to the General Partner. A Limited Partner may revoke its designation of a Representative, or replace a designated Representative with a different Representative, at any time by delivering written notice of such action to the General Partner.

The transaction of any such business by the General Partner, any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, employee, partner, agent or trustee of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, in their capacity as such, shall not affect, impair or eliminate the limitations on the liability of the Limited Partners under this Agreement.

     Section 8.4 Return of Capital

     Except pursuant to the Exchange Rights set forth in Section 8.6, no Limited Partner shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of his Capital Contribution, except to the extent of distributions made pursuant to this Agreement or upon termination of the Partnership as provided herein. No Limited Partner shall have priority over any other Limited Partner either as to the return of Capital Contributions or, except to the extent provided by Exhibit C hereof or as permitted by Section 8.7.C, or otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, as to profits, losses or distributions.

     Section 8.5 Rights of Limited Partners Relating to the Partnership

          A. In addition to other rights provided by this Agreement or by the Act, and except as limited by Section 8.5.C hereof, each Limited Partner shall have the right, for a purpose reasonably related to such Limited Partner’s interest as a limited partner in the Partnership, upon written demand with a statement of the purpose of such demand and at such Limited Partner’s own expense:

	(1)		to obtain a copy of the Partnership’s federal, state and local income tax returns for each fiscal year;
	(2)		to obtain a current list of the name and last known business, residence or mailing address of each Partner; provided, however, that the General Partner may require, as a condition of providing such list to the Limited Partner, that the Limited Partner confirm in writing to the General Partner that the names of the Partners and other information provided by the list will be held in strictest confidence and no distribution of the list will be made;
	(3)		to obtain a copy of this Agreement and the Certificate, and all amendments to the Agreement and the Certificate, together with executed copies of all powers of attorney pursuant to which this Agreement, the Certificate and all amendments to the Agreement and the Certificate have been executed; and
	(4)		to obtain true and full information regarding the amount of cash and a description and statement of any other property or services contributed by each Partner and which each Partner has agreed to contribute in the future, and the date on which each became a Partner.

          C. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.5, the General Partner may keep confidential from the Limited Partners, for such period of time as the General Partner determines in its sole and absolute discretion to be reasonable, any information that (i) the General Partner believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information the disclosure of which the General Partner in good faith believes is not in the best interests of the Partnership, or (ii) the Partnership is required by law or by agreements with unaffiliated third parties to keep confidential.

     Section 8.6 Exchange Rights

          A. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, in Section 8.6.B below and in Exhibit A, each Limited Partner or Assignee owning Partnership Units shall have the right (the “Exchange Right”) to require Crescent Equities to exchange on any Specified Exchange Date all or any portion of the Partnership Units owned by such Limited Partner or Assignee (an “Exchanging Person”) for consideration consisting of (i) an amount of cash equal to the Cash Amount, (ii) a number of REIT Shares equal to the REIT Shares Amount, or (iii) any combination of (i) or (ii) above, with the decision as to the type of consideration to be given to the Exchanging Person to be made by Crescent Equities, in its sole and absolute discretion. The Exchange Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Exchange delivered to Crescent Equities by the Exchanging Person, accompanied by any certificate or certificates evidencing the Partnership Units to be exchanged. If Crescent Equities elects to pay all or any portion of the consideration to an Exchanging Person in cash, the Crescent Group agrees to use its best efforts to raise any required funds as quickly as possible after receipt of the Notice of Exchange.

          B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.6.A above, to the extent that the delivery of REIT Shares to an Exchanging Person pursuant to Section 8.6.A above would cause the Exchanging Person to violate the applicable “Ownership Limit” or the “Existing Holder Limit” set forth in the Declaration of Trust, Crescent Equities may not deliver REIT Shares to such Exchanging Person but may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to either (1) pay the consideration to the Exchanging Person in the form of the Cash Amount, or (2) refuse, in whole or in part, to accept the Notice of Exchange.

     Section 8.7 Covenants Relating to the Exchange Rights

          A. Crescent Equities shall at all times reserve for issuance such number of REIT Shares as may be necessary to enable it to issue such REIT Shares in full satisfaction of the Exchange Rights with respect to all Partnership Units which are from time to time outstanding.

          B. As long as Crescent Equities shall be obligated to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act, Crescent Equities shall use its best efforts to file such reports in such manner as shall enable any recipient of REIT Shares issued pursuant to Section 8.6 in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to continue to be eligible to utilize

Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act, or any successor rule or regulation or statute thereunder, for the resale thereof.

          C. Crescent Equities shall not issue any additional REIT Shares (other than REIT Shares contemplated by Sections 4.2 and 8.6 and REIT Shares issued pursuant to a Stock Incentive Plan) other than on a pro rata basis to all holders of REIT Shares. Crescent Equities shall not issue any preferred stock or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase REIT Shares (“New Securities”) other than to all holders of REIT Shares unless (i) the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to issue to Crescent Equities preferred equity ownership interests or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities of the Partnership (“New Interests”) having designations, preferences and other rights, all such that the economic interests are substantially similar to those of the New Securities, and (ii) Crescent Equities contributes the proceeds from the issuance of such New Securities and from the exercise of rights contained in such New Securities to the Partnership. The Partners hereby acknowledge and agree that the proceeds received by Crescent Equities in exchange for the issuance of New Securities may be cash or real property or an interest therein. If any New Securities are subsequently converted or exchanged for REIT Shares, (i) Crescent Equities shall, as of the date on which the conversion or exchange is consummated, be deemed to have contributed to the Partnership as Contributed Funds pursuant to Section 4.2.A(2) hereof an amount equal to the Value (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such conversion or exchange of the New Securities is consummated) of the REIT Shares delivered by Crescent Equities to such holder of New Securities, and (ii) the Partnership Interests of Crescent Equities and the other Limited Partners shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 4.2. The number of Partnership Units held by the Limited Partners shall not be decreased in connection with the issuance of any New Securities or in connection with any subsequent conversion or exchange of any New Securities for REIT Shares.

          D. Each Limited Partner and Assignee covenants and agrees that all Partnership Units delivered for exchange pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof shall be delivered to Crescent Equities free and clear of all Liens and, notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Crescent Equities shall be under no obligation to acquire Partnership Units which are or may be subject to any Liens. Each Limited Partner and Assignee further agrees that, in the event any state or local property transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of its Partnership Units to Crescent Equities, such Limited Partner or Assignee shall assume and pay such transfer tax.

          E. In the event Crescent Equities purchases REIT Shares, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to purchase from Crescent Equities a portion of its Partnership Interest on the same terms that Crescent Equities purchased such REIT Shares.

     Section 8.8 Other Matters Relating to the Exchange Rights

          A. Any Partnership Units transferred to Crescent Equities in connection with the exercise of the Exchange Rights shall be canceled.

          B. Upon any transfer of Partnership Units by an Exchanging Person to Crescent Equities pursuant to Section 8.6 above, the Partnership Interest of such Limited Partner

or Assignee shall be decreased (and the Partnership Interest of Crescent Equities shall be correspondingly increased) as provided in this Section 8.8.B. The Partnership Interest of such Limited Partner or Assignee subsequent to the exchange event shall be equal to the product of the following: (i) the Partnership Interest of such Limited Partner or Assignee immediately prior to the exchange event, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total Partnership Units owned by such Limited Partner or Assignee immediately after the exchange event, and the denominator of which is the total number of Partnership Units owned by such Limited Partner or Assignee immediately prior to the exchange event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Limited Partner or Assignee owns Partnership Units and also owns Partnership Interests issued pursuant to Section 4.3 or 4.7 above, which Partnership Interests were not associated with Partnership Units, the portion of the Partnership Interest of such Limited Partner or Assignee that represents the Partnership Interests issued pursuant to Section 4.3 or 4.7 shall not be subject to reduction pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.8.B.

ARTICLE IX

     Section 9.1 Records and Accounting

     The General Partner shall keep or cause to be kept at the principal office of the Partnership appropriate books and records with respect to the Partnership’s business, including, without limitation, all books and records necessary to provide to the Limited Partners any information, lists and copies of documents required to be provided pursuant to Section 8.5 hereof. Any records maintained by or on behalf of the Partnership in the regular course of its business may be kept on, or be in the form of, punch cards, magnetic tape, photographs, micrographic or any other information storage device, provided that the records so maintained are convertible into clearly legible written form within a reasonable period of time. The books of the Partnership shall be maintained, for financial and tax reporting purposes, on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

     Section 9.2 Fiscal Year

     The fiscal year of the Partnership shall be the calendar year.

As soon as practicable after the close of each fiscal year, the General Partner shall cause to be mailed to each Limited Partner an annual report containing financial statements of the Partnership, or of the Crescent Group if such statements are prepared solely on a consolidated basis with the Crescent Group, for such fiscal year, presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The annual financial statements shall be audited by a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants selected by the General Partner.

TAX MATTERS

     Section 10.1 Preparation of Tax Returns

     The General Partner shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all returns of Partnership income, gains, deductions, losses and other items required of the Partnership for federal, state and local income tax purposes, and the delivery to the Limited Partners of all tax information reasonably required by the Limited Partners for federal, state and local income tax reporting purposes.

     Section 10.2 Tax Elections

     Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine whether to make any available election or choose any available reporting method pursuant to the Code or state or local tax law; provided, however, that the General Partner shall make the election under Section 754 of the Code in accordance with applicable regulations thereunder. The General Partner shall have the right to seek to revoke any such election (including, without limitation, the election under Section 754 of the Code) or change any reporting method upon the General Partner’s determination in its sole and absolute discretion that such revocation is in the best interests of all of the Partners.

     Section 10.3 Tax Matters Partner

          A. The General Partner shall be the “tax matters partner’’ of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes. Pursuant to Section 6223(c)(3) of the Code, upon receipt of notice from the IRS of the beginning of an administrative proceeding with respect to the Partnership, the tax matters partner shall furnish the IRS with the name, address and profits interest of each of the Limited Partners, provided that such information is provided to the Partnership by the Limited Partners.

          B. The tax matters partner is authorized, but not required:

(1)

to enter into any settlement with the IRS with respect to any administrative or judicial proceedings for the adjustment of Partnership items required to be taken into account by a Partner for income tax purposes (such administrative proceedings being referred to as a “tax audit” and such judicial proceedings being referred to as “judicial review”), and in the settlement agreement the tax matters partner may expressly state that such agreement shall bind all Partners, except that such settlement agreement shall not bind any Partner (i) who (within the time prescribed pursuant to the Code and Regulations) files a statement with the IRS providing that the tax matters partner shall not have the authority to enter into a settlement agreement on behalf of such Partner or (ii) who is a “notice partner” (as defined in Section 6231 of the Code) or a member of a “notice group” (as defined in Section 6223(b)(2) of the Code);

	(2)		in the event that a notice of a final administrative adjustment at the Partnership level of any item required to be taken into account by a Partner for tax purposes (a “final adjustment”) is mailed to the tax matters partner, to seek judicial review of such final adjustment, including the filing of a petition for readjustment with the Tax Court or the United States Claims Court, or the filing of a complaint for refund with the District Court of the United States for the district in which the Partnership’s principal place of business is located;
	(3)		to intervene in any action brought by any other Partner for judicial review of a final adjustment;
	(4)		to file a request for an administrative adjustment with the IRS at any time and, if any part of such request is not allowed by the IRS, to file an appropriate pleading (petition or complaint) for judicial review with respect to such request;
	(5)		to enter into an agreement with the IRS to extend the period for assessing any tax which is attributable to any item required to be taken into account by a Partner for tax purposes, or an item affected by such item; and
	(6)		to take any other action on behalf of the Partners of the Partnership in connection with any tax audit or judicial review proceeding to the extent permitted by applicable law or regulations.

     The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the tax matters partner in connection with any such proceeding, except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole and absolute discretion of the tax matters partner and the provisions relating to indemnification of Indemnitees set forth in Section 7.7 of this Agreement shall be fully applicable to the tax matters partner in its capacity as such.

          C. The tax matters partner shall receive no compensation for its services. All third party costs and expenses incurred by the tax matters partner in performing its duties as such (including legal and accounting fees) shall be borne by the Partnership. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Partnership from engaging an accounting firm to assist the tax matters partner in discharging its duties hereunder.

     Section 10.4 Organizational Expenses

     The Partnership shall elect to deduct expenses, if any, incurred by it in organizing the Partnership ratably over a sixty (60)-month period as provided in Section 709 of the Code.

     Section 10.5 Withholding

     Each Limited Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Limited Partner any amount of federal, state, local, or foreign taxes that the General Partner determines that the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Limited Partner pursuant to this

Agreement, including, without limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Partnership pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, or 1446 of the Code. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Limited Partner shall constitute a loan by the Partnership to such Limited Partner, which loan shall be repaid by such Limited Partner within fifteen (15) days after notice from the General Partner that such payment must be made unless (i) the Partnership withholds such payment from a distribution which would otherwise be made to the Limited Partner, or (ii) the General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of the available funds of the Partnership which would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Limited Partner. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall be treated as having been distributed to such Limited Partner. Each Limited Partner hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Partnership a security interest in such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest to secure such Limited Partner’s obligation to pay to the Partnership any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 10.5. In the event that a Limited Partner fails to pay any amounts owed to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 10.5 when due, the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to make the payment to the Partnership on behalf of such defaulting Limited Partner, and in such event shall be deemed to have loaned such amount to such defaulting Limited Partner and, until repayment of such loan, shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the Partnership as against such defaulting Limited Partner (including, without limitation, the right to receive distributions). Any amounts payable by a Limited Partner hereunder shall bear interest at the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal, plus four percentage points (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate) from the date such amount is due (i.e., fifteen (1 5) days after demand) until such amount is paid in full. Each Limited Partner shall take such actions as the Partnership or the General Partner shall request in order to perfect or enforce the security interest created hereunder.

ARTICLE XI
TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS

     Section 11.1 Transfer

          A. The term “transfer,” when used in this Article 11 with respect to a Partnership Interest, shall be deemed to refer to a transaction by which the General Partner purports to assign its General Partnership Interest to another Person or by which a Limited Partner purports to assign its Limited Partnership Interest to another Person, and includes a sale, assignment, gift, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange or any other disposition by law or otherwise. The term “transfer” when used in this Article 11 does not include any exchange of Partnership Units by a Limited Partner pursuant to Section 8.6.

          B. No Partnership Interest shall be transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 11. Any transfer or purported transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance with this Article 11 shall be null and void.

     Section 11.2 Transfer of Partnership Interests of the General Partner

          A. The General Partner shall not withdraw from the Partnership or transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Partnership except in connection with a transaction described in Section 11.2.B or 11.2.C.

          B. Crescent Equities shall not engage in any merger, consolidation or other combination with or into another Person, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or any reclassification, or recapitalization or change of outstanding REIT Shares (other than a reincorporation, a reorganization primarily for the purpose of changing domicile or converting to corporate form, a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination as described in the definition of “Exchange Factor,” which require no consent of the Limited Partners under this Agreement) (“Transaction”), unless the Transaction either:

	(1)		includes a merger of the Partnership or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, as a result of which all Limited Partners will receive for each Partnership Unit an amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to the product of the Exchange Factor and the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid to a holder of one REIT Share in consideration of one REIT Share at any time during the period from and after the date on which the Transaction is consummated, provided that if, in connection with the Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding REIT Shares, the holders of Partnership Units shall receive the greatest amount of cash, securities, or other property which a Limited Partner would have received had it exercised the Exchange Right and received REIT Shares in exchange for all of its Partnership Units immediately prior to the expiration of such purchase, tender or exchange offer; or
	(2)		provides that the Partnership shall continue as a separate entity and grants to the Limited Partners exchange rights with respect to the ownership interests in the new entity that are substantially equivalent to the Exchange Rights provided for in Section 8.6.

          C. Crescent Equities shall not transfer all or any portion of its ownership interest in the General Partner; provided, however, that Crescent Equities may liquidate the General Partner.

     Section 11.3 Transfer of Partnership Interests of Limited Partners Other Than Crescent Equities

          A. Subject to the provisions of Sections 11.3.C, 11.3.D, 11.3.E, 11.3.F and 11.3.G hereof, any Limited Partner other than Crescent Equities may freely transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest. Any transferee of a Limited Partnership Interest (whether such transferee is a Substituted Limited Partner or an Assignee) shall also become the owner of any

Partnership Units associated with such Limited Partnership Interest, and shall be entitled to exercise the Exchange Rights with respect to such Partnership Units in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 8.6 above.

          B. If a Limited Partner is Incapacitated, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or receiver of such Limited Partner’s estate shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Limited Partners, for the purpose of settling or managing the estate and such power as the Incapacitated Limited Partner possessed to transfer all or any part of its interest in the Partnership. The Incapacity of a Limited Partner, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership.

          C. The General Partner may prohibit any transfer otherwise permitted under this Section 11.3 by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Interest if, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership, such transfer would require filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act or would otherwise violate any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Partnership Interest.

          D. No transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Interest may be made to any Person if (i) in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, it would result in the Partnership being treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, or result in a termination of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes, (ii) in the opinion of the legal counsel for the Partnership, it would adversely affect the ability of Crescent Equities to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject Crescent Equities to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, or (iii) the General Partner determines that such transfer is effectuated through or, together with other similar transfers, could result in the creation of an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” or otherwise increase the likelihood that the Partnership would be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Code Section 7704 and the related Notice 88-75, 1988-2 C.B. 386, and Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1.

          E. No transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Interest may be made (i) to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Partnership Interest, (ii) in violation of any provision of any mortgage or trust deed (or the note or bond secured thereby) constituting a Lien against an asset of the Partnership, (iii) in violation of applicable law, or (iv) if such transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor regulations section 2510.2-101.

          F. No transfer of a Limited Partnership Interest may be made to a lender to the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-4(b)) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a Nonrecourse Liability, except with the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner.

     Section 11.4 Substituted Limited Partners

          A. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the last sentence of this Section 11.4.A, no Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a transferee as a Limited Partner in its place without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be granted or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. The General Partner’s failure or refusal to permit a transferee of a Limited Partnership Interest to become a Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Partnership or any Partner. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 11.4.A, if the transferee of a Limited Partnership Interest is a Person listed on Exhibit E attached hereto, the General Partner shall be required to admit such transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner, provided that (i) the transfer of the Limited Partnership Interest to such Person is not prohibited under the provisions of Sections 11.3.C through G hereof, and (ii) such transferee complies with the provisions of the second sentence of Section 11.4.B hereof.

          B. A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this Article 11 shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner under this Agreement. The admission of any transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner shall be subject to the transferee executing and delivering to the Partnership an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 2.4) and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission.

          C. Upon the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner, the General Partner shall amend Exhibit A to reflect the name, address, number of Partnership Units, and Partnership Interest of such Substituted Limited Partner and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and interest of the predecessor of such Substituted Limited Partner.

     Section 11.5 Assignees

     If the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not consent to the admission of any permitted transferee under Section 11.3 as a Substituted Limited Partner, as described in Section 11.4, such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall be deemed to have had assigned to it, and shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net Losses, Recapture Income, and any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Partnership attributable to the Partnership Interest transferred to such transferee, but shall not be entitled to vote such Partnership Interest on any matter presented to the Limited Partners for a vote (such Partnership Interest being deemed to have been voted on such matter in the same proportion as all other Partnership Interests held by the Limited Partners are voted). In the event any such transferee desires to make a further transfer of any such Partnership Interest, such transferee shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Article 11 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make a transfer of a Partnership Interest.

     Section 11.6 General Provisions

          A. No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of a permitted transfer of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest in accordance with this Article 11 or pursuant to an exchange of its Partnership Interest under Section 8.6.

          B. Any Limited Partner who shall transfer all of its Partnership Interest in a permitted transfer pursuant to this Article 11 or pursuant to an exchange of all of its Partnership Units under Section 8.6 shall cease to be a Limited Partner.

          C. If any Partnership Interest is exchanged pursuant to Section 8.6 or transferred pursuant to this Article 11 at any time other than the end of a fiscal year, Net Income, Net Loss, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such interest for such fiscal year shall be allocated between the transferor Partner and the transferee Partner in the same ratio as the number of days in such fiscal year before and after such transfer, except that gain or loss attributable to the sale or other disposition of all or any substantial portion of the Partnership assets or to other extraordinary non-recurring items shall be allocated to the owner of the Partnership Interest as of the date of closing of the sale or other disposition, or, with respect to other extraordinary non-recurring items, the date the profit is realized or the loss is incurred, as the case may be. Solely for purposes of the allocations to be made under the preceding sentence (but not for any other purpose), (i) any Partnership Interest that is exchanged or otherwise transferred prior to the eighth day of a month shall receive allocations under the preceding sentence as if it had been transferred on the first day of the month, (ii) any Partnership Interest that is exchanged or otherwise transferred on or after the eighth day of a month and prior to the twenty-third day of such month shall receive allocations under the preceding sentence as if it had been transferred on the fifteenth day of the month, and (iii) any Partnership Interest that is exchanged or otherwise transferred on or after the twenty-third day of a month shall receive allocations under the preceding sentence as if it had been transferred on the first day of the next succeeding month. All distributions of Available Cash with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such transfer or exchange shall be made to the transferor Partner, and all distributions of Available Cash thereafter shall be made to the transferee Partner.

     Section 11.7 Acquisition of Partnership Interest by Partnership

     The Partnership may acquire, by purchase, redemption or otherwise, any Partnership Interest or other interest of a Partner in the Partnership. Any Partnership Interest or other interest so acquired by the Partnership shall be deemed canceled. In the event that a Partnership Interest is acquired by the Partnership pursuant to this Section 11.7, the Partnership Interest of each other existing Partner shall be increased, as of the date of acquisition of such Partnership Interest by the Partnership, such that the Partnership Interest of each Partner shall be equal to the sum of (a) each Partner’s existing Partnership Interest, plus (b) the product obtained by multiplying (i) each Partner’s existing Partnership Interest by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the Partnership Interest acquired by the Partnership and the denominator of which is equal to the result obtained by subtracting (A) one minus (B) the Partnership Interest acquired by the Partnership.

ARTICLE XII
ADMISSION OF PARTNERS

     Section 12.1 Admission of Substituted General Partner

     A successor to all of the General Partner’s General Partnership Interest pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof who is proposed to be admitted as a substituted General Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner, effective simultaneously with such transfer. Any such transferee shall carry on the business of the Partnership without dissolution. In each case, the admission shall be subject to the substituted General Partner executing and delivering to the Partnership an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission.

     Section 12.2 Admission of Additional or Employee Limited Partners

          A. After the admission to the Partnership of the Limited Partners on the date hereof, a Person who makes a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof or receives a Limited Partnership Interest pursuant to Section 4.7 hereof shall be admitted to the Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner or Employee Limited Partner, as the case may be, only upon furnishing to the General Partner (i) evidence of acceptance in form satisfactory to the General Partner of all of the terns and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power of attorney granted in Section 2.4 hereof, and (ii) such other documents or instruments as may be required in the discretion of the General Partner in order to effect such Person’s admission as an Additional Limited Partner or Employee Limited Partner, as the case may be. The admission of any Person as an Additional Limited Partner or Employee Limited Partner, as the case may be, shall become effective on the date upon which the name of such Person is recorded on the books and records of the Partnership, following the consent of the General Partner to such admission.

          B. If any Additional Limited Partner or Employee Limited Partner is admitted to the Partnership at any time other than the end of a fiscal year, Net Income, Net Loss, each item thereof and all other items for such fiscal year shall be allocated among such Additional Limited Partner or Employee Limited Partner and all other Partners by taking into account their varying interests during such fiscal year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code. For this purpose, Net Income, Net Loss, each item thereof and all other items for such fiscal year shall be prorated based on the portion of the taxable year that has elapsed prior to the admission of such Additional Limited Partner or Employee Limited Partner, except that gain or loss attributable to the sale or other disposition of all or any substantial portion of the Partnership assets or to other extraordinary non-recurring items shall be allocated to the Partners who own Partnership Interests as of the date of closing of the sale or other disposition, or, with respect to other extraordinary non-recurring items, the date the profit is realized or the loss is incurred, as the case may be. Solely for purposes of the allocations to be made under the preceding sentence (but not for any other purpose), (i) any Additional Limited Partner or Employee Limited Partner that is admitted to the Partnership prior to the eighth day of a month shall receive allocations under the preceding sentence as if such Partner had been admitted on the first day of the month, (ii) any Additional Limited Partner or Employee Limited Partner that is admitted to the Partnership on or after the eighth day of the month and prior to the twenty-third day of such

month shall receive allocations under the preceding sentence as if such Partner had been admitted on the fifteenth day of the month, and (iii) any Additional Limited Partner or Employee Limited Partner that is admitted to the Partnership on or after the twenty-third day of a month shall receive allocations under the preceding sentence as if such Partner had been admitted on the first day of the next succeeding month. All distributions of Available Cash with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of admission of such Additional Limited Partner or Employee Limited Partner shall be made solely to Partners other than the Additional Limited Partner or Employee Limited Partner, and all distributions of Available Cash thereafter shall be made to all Partners including the Additional Limited Partner or Employee Limited Partner.

          C. Greenbrier has executed and delivered to the General Partner the Greenbrier Agreement. The General Partner, exercising its discretion pursuant to Section 12.2.A hereof, hereby agrees that the Greenbrier Agreement is the sole document required to effectuate the admission to the Partnership of Greenbrier as an Additional Limited Partner. The Greenbrier Agreement contains an “evergreen” provision so that it shall be deemed reexecuted and delivered to the General Partner by Greenbrier if, as and whenever it shall acquire future installments of Partnership Units under the Consultant Unit Agreement if, prior to the acquisition of any such future installment, it shall have exchanged all of its Partnership Units and consequently ceased to be a Limited Partner pursuant to Section 11.6.B hereof. Accordingly, if, as and whenever Greenbrier receives Partnership Units pursuant to the terms of the Consultant Unit Agreement, the General Partner shall automatically admit Greenbrier as an Additional Limited Partner without requiring any additional documentation from Greenbrier, even if Greenbrier is not at that time a Limited Partner of the Partnership.

     Section 12.3 Amendment of Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership

     For the admission to the Partnership of any Partner in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the General Partner shall take all steps necessary and appropriate under the Act to amend the records of the Partnership and, if necessary, to prepare as soon as practical an amendment of this Agreement (including an amendment of Exhibit A) and, if required by law, shall prepare and file an amendment to the Certificate and may for this purpose exercise the power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof.

ARTICLE XIII
DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

     Section 13.1 Dissolution

     The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of Substituted Limited Partners, Additional Limited Partners or Employee Limited Partners, or by the admission of a substituted General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the withdrawal of the General Partner, any substituted General Partner shall continue the business of the Partnership. The Partnership shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon the first to occur of any of the following (“Liquidating Events”):

          A. an event of withdrawal of the General Partner, as defined in the Act (other than (i) a liquidation of the General Partner into Crescent Equities, in which event Crescent

Equities shall become the General Partner, or (ii) an event of Bankruptcy), unless within ninety (90) days after the withdrawal remaining Partners owning a majority-in-interest of the total Partnership Interests of the remaining Partners agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective immediately prior to the date of withdrawal, of a substitute General Partner;

          B. an election to dissolve the Partnership made in writing by the General Partner;

          C. entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of the Act;

          D. the sale of all or substantially all of the assets and properties of the Partnership, unless the General Partner elects to continue the Partnership business for the purpose of the receipt and the collection of indebtedness or the collection of other consideration to be received in exchange for the assets of the Partnership (which activities shall be deemed to be part of the winding up of the Partnership);

          E. a final and non-appealable judgment is entered by a court with appropriate jurisdiction finding that either Crescent Equities or the General Partner is bankrupt or insolvent, or a final and non-appealable order for relief is entered by a court with appropriate jurisdiction against either Crescent Equities or the General Partner, in each case under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency laws as now or hereafter in effect, unless prior to the entry of such order or judgment remaining Partners owning a majority-in-interest of the total Partnership Interests of the remaining Partners agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of a date prior to the date of such order or judgment, of a substituted General Partner; or

          F. any other dissolution event under the Act.

     Section 13.2 Winding Up

          A. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Partnership shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets (subject to the provisions of Section 13.2.B below), and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Partners. No Partner shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Partnership’s business and affairs. The General Partner (or, in the event there is no remaining General Partner, any Person elected by Limited Partners owning a majority-in-interest of the total Partnership Interests of the Limited Partners (the “Liquidator”)) shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership and shall take full account of the Partnership’s liabilities and property and the Partnership property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair market value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom (which may, to the extent determined by the General Partner, include shares of stock in Crescent Equities) shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

(1)

First, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to creditors other than the Partners;

	(2)		Second, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to the Partners; and
	(3)		The balance, if any, to the General Partner and Limited Partners in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, and allocations for all periods.

The General Partner shall not receive any additional compensation for any services performed pursuant to this Article 13.

          B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.2.A hereof which require liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or 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 sole and absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (including to those Partners as creditors) and/or distribute to the Partners, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2.A hereof, undivided interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in kind are in the best interest of the Partners, and 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 operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

          C. As part of the liquidation and winding-up of the Partnership, a proper accounting shall be made of the Capital Account of each Partner, including an analysis of changes to the Capital Account from the date of the last previous accounting. Financial statements presenting such accounting shall include a report of an independent certified public accountant selected by the Liquidator.

          D. As part of the liquidation and winding-up of the Partnership, the Liquidator may sell Partnership assets (or assets owned by the Subsidiary Corporations, the Management Company, or any other entity in which the Partnership is an owner), at the best price and on the best terms and conditions as the Liquidator in good faith believes are reasonably available at the time.

     Section 13.3 Compliance with Timing Requirements of Regulations

     In the event the Partnership is “liquidated” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions shall be made pursuant to this Article 13 to the General Partner and Limited Partners who have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2). If any Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Partner shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall

not be considered a debt owed to the Partnership or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever. In the discretion of the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the General Partner and Limited Partners pursuant to this Article 13 may be:

          (i) distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the General Partner and Limited Partners for the purposes of liquidating Partnership assets, collecting amounts owed to the Partnership, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or of the General Partner arising out of or in connection with the Partnership. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidator, in the same proportions as the amount distributed to such trust by the Partnership would otherwise have been distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners pursuant to this Agreement; or

          (ii) withheld to provide a reasonable reserve for Partnership liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Partnership, provided that such withheld amounts shall be distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners as soon as practicable.

     Section 13.4 Deemed Contribution and Distribution

     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article 13, in the event the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) but no Liquidating Event has occurred, the Partnership’s property shall not be liquidated, the Partnership’s liabilities shall not be paid or discharged, and the Partnership’s affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.708-1(b)(4), the Partnership shall be deemed to have contributed all of its assets and liabilities to a new partnership in exchange for an interest in the new partnership. Immediately thereafter, the Partnership shall be deemed to have liquidated by distributing the interests in the new partnership to the new General Partner and the Limited Partners.

     Section 13.5 Rights of Limited Partners

     Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Limited Partner shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return of its Capital Contribution and shall have no right or power to demand or receive property other than cash from the Partnership. No Limited Partner shall have priority over any other Limited Partner as to the return of its Capital Contributions, distributions, or allocations, except as permitted by Section 8.7.C or otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

     Section 13.6 Documentation of Liquidation

     Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership cash and property as provided in Section 13.2 hereof, the Partnership shall be terminated and the Certificate and all qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware shall be canceled and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership shall be taken. The Liquidator shall have the authority to execute and record any and

all documents or instruments required to effect the dissolution, liquidation and termination of the Partnership.

     Section 13.7 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 13.2 hereof, in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding-up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect between the Partners during the period of liquidation.

     Section 13.8 Liability of the Liquidator

     The Liquidator shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, costs, damages and causes of action of any nature whatsoever arising out of or incidental to the Liquidator’s taking of any action authorized under or within the scope of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Liquidator shall not be entitled to indemnification, and shall not be held harmless, where the claim, demand, liability, cost, damage or cause of action at issue arises out of:

	(1)		a matter entirely unrelated to the Liquidator’s action or conduct pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; or
	(2)		the proven willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Liquidator.

     Section 13.9 Waiver of Partition

     Each Partner hereby waives any right to a partition of the Partnership property.

ARTICLE XIV
AMENDMENT OF AGREEMENT

     Section 14.1 Amendments

          A. Amendments to this Agreement may be proposed by the General Partner. Except as provided in Section 14.1.B or 14.1.C, a proposed amendment shall be adopted and be effective as an amendment hereto if it is approved by the General Partner and Limited Partners owning a majority-in-interest of the total Partnership Interests of the Limited Partners.

          B. Notwithstanding Section 14.1.A, the General Partner shall have the power, without the Consent of the Limited Partners, to amend this Agreement as may be required to facilitate or implement any of the following purposes:

	(1)		to add to the obligations of the General Partner or surrender any right or power granted to the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner for the benefit of the Limited Partners;
	(2)		to reflect the admission, substitution, termination, or withdrawal of Partners in accordance with this Agreement (including, without limitation,

			adjustments to Exhibit A to reflect such events, as set forth in Section 4.1.B hereof); and
	(3)		to reflect a change that is of an inconsequential nature and does not adversely affect the Limited Partners in any material respect, or to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision in this Agreement not inconsistent with law or with other provisions, or make other changes with respect to matters arising under this Agreement that will not be inconsistent with law or with the provisions of this Agreement.

          C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 14.1.A hereof, this Agreement shall not be amended without the prior written consent of each Partner adversely affected if such amendment would (i) convert a Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership into a general partner’s interest, (ii) modify the limited liability of a Limited Partner, (iii) alter rights of the Partner to receive distributions pursuant to Article 5, or the allocations specified in Article 6 (except as permitted pursuant to Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.6, 4.7, 8.7 and Section 14.1.B(3) hereof), (iv) alter or modify the Exchange Rights set forth in Section 8.6, or the right set forth in Section 11.2.B, (v) cause the termination of the Partnership prior to the time set forth in Sections 2.5 or 13.1, or (vi) amend this Section 14.1.C. Further, no amendment may alter the restrictions on the General Partner’s authority set forth in Section 7.3 without the consent of all Limited Partners.

ARTICLE XV

                    (iv) With respect to the tax aspects of an investment in the Limited Partnership Interest, such Limited Partner in making this acquisition is not relying to any degree upon the advice of Crescent Equities or the Partnership, or any Person affiliated therewith, but rather solely upon its own legal, financial and tax advisors.

     Section 16.1 Arbitration

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, all claims, disputes and controversies between the parties hereto (including, without limitation, any claims, disputes and controversies between the Partnership and any one or more of the Partners and any claims, disputes and controversies among any two or more Partners) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Partnership created hereby, relating to the validity, construction, performance, breach, enforcement or termination thereof, or otherwise, shall be resolved by binding arbitration in the State of Texas, in accordance with this Article 16 and, to the extent not inconsistent herewith, the Expedited Procedures and Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

     Section 16.2 Procedures

     Any arbitration called for by this Article 16 shall be conducted in accordance with the following procedures:

                    (1) The Partnership or any partner (the “Requesting Party”) may demand arbitration pursuant to Section 16.1 hereof at any time by giving written notice of such demand (the “Demand Notice”) to all other Partners and (if the Requesting Party is not the Partnership) to the Partnership, which Demand Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, dispute or controversy.

                    (2) Within fifteen (15) days after the giving of a Demand Notice, the Requesting Party, on the one hand, and each of the other Partners and/or the Partnership against whom the claim has been made or with respect to which a dispute has arisen, on the other hand, shall select and designate in writing to the other party one reputable, disinterested individual deemed competent to arbitrate the claim, dispute or controversy (a “Qualified Individual”) willing to act as an arbitrator of the claim, dispute or controversy. Within fifteen (15) days after the foregoing selections have been made, the arbitrators so selected shall jointly select a third Qualified Individual willing to act as an arbitrator of the claim, dispute or controversy. In the event that the two arbitrators initially selected are unable to agree on a third arbitrator within the second fifteen (15) day period referred to above, then, on the application of either party, the American Arbitration Association shall promptly select and appoint a Qualified Individual to act as the third arbitrator. The three arbitrators selected pursuant to this Section 16.2(2) shall constitute the arbitration panel for the arbitration in question.

                    (3) The presentations of the parties hereto in the arbitration proceeding shall be commenced and completed within sixty (60) days after the selection of the arbitration panel pursuant to Section 16.2(2) above, and the arbitration panel shall render its decision in writing within thirty (30) days after the completion of such presentations. Any decision concurred in by any two (2) of the arbitrators shall constitute the decision of the arbitration panel, and unanimity shall not be required.

                    (4) The arbitration panel shall have the discretion to include in its decision a direction that all or part of the attorneys’ fees and costs of any party or parties and/or the costs of such arbitration be paid by any other party or parties. On the application of a party before or after the initial decision of the arbitration panel, and proof of its attorneys’ fees and costs, the arbitration panel shall order the other party to make any payments directed pursuant to the preceding sentence.

                    (5) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 16.2, if either party fails to select a Qualified Individual to act as an arbitrator for such party with the fifteen (15) day time period set forth in the first sentence of Section 16.2(2), the Qualified Individual selected by the other party shall serve as sole arbitrator under this Section 16.2 in lieu of the arbitration panel. Such sole arbitrator shall have all of the rights and duties of the arbitration panel set forth above in this Section 16.2.

     Section 16.3 Binding Character

     Any decision rendered by the arbitration panel pursuant to this Article 16 shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and judgment thereon may be entered by any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction

     Section 16.4 Exclusivity

CAPITAL ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE

1. Capital Accounts of the Partners

	A.		The Partnership shall maintain for each Partner a separate Capital Account in accordance with the rules of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Such Capital Account shall be increased by (i) the amount of all Capital Contributions made by such Partner to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) such Partner’s share of Net Income allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 6.1.A of the Agreement, all items of Partnership income and gain allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 6.3 of the Agreement, and all items of Partnership income and gain (including income and gain exempt from tax) computed in accordance with Section 1.B hereof and allocated to such Partner pursuant to Exhibit C hereof, and decreased by (x) the amount of cash or Net Asset Value of all actual and deemed distributions of cash or property made to such Partner pursuant to this Agreement and (y) such Partner’s share of Net Loss allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 6.1.A of the Agreement, all items of Partnership deduction and loss allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 6.3 of the Agreement, and all items of Partnership deduction and loss computed in accordance with Section 1.B hereof and allocated to such Partner pursuant to Exhibit C hereof.
	B.		For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, deduction or loss to be reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for federal income tax purposes determined in accordance with Section 703(a) of the Code (for this purpose all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Section 703(a)(l) of the Code shall be included in taxable income or loss), with the following adjustments:

	(1)		Except as otherwise provided in Regulations 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, provided that the amounts of any adjustments to the adjusted bases of the assets of the Partnership made pursuant to Section 734 of the Code as a result of the distribution of property by the Partnership to a Partner (to the extent that such adjustments have not previously been reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts) shall be reflected in the Capital Accounts of the Partners in the manner and subject to the limitations prescribed in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).
	(2)		The computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made without regard to the fact that items described in Sections 705(a)(l)(B) or 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code are not includable in gross

B-1
 

income or arc neither currently deductible nor capitalized for federal income tax purposes.

	(3)		Any income, gain or loss attributable to the taxable disposition of any Partnership property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property as of such date of disposition were equal in amount to the Partnership’s Carrying Value with respect to such property as of such date.
	(4)		In lieu of the depreciation, amortization, and other cost recovery deductions taken into account in computing such taxable income or loss, there shall be taken into account Depreciation for such fiscal year.
	(5)		In the event the Carrying Value of any Partnership Asset is adjusted pursuant to Section 1.D hereof, the amount of any such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such asset.
	(6)		Any items specially allocated under Section 2 of Exhibit C hereof shall not be taken into account.

	C.		A transferee of a Partnership Interest shall succeed to a pro rata portion of the Capital Account of the transferor.
	D.		(1)		Consistent with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(f), and as provided in Section 1.D(2), the Carrying Values of all Partnership assets shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, as of the times of the adjustments provided in Section 1.D(2) hereof, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property and allocated pursuant to Article 6 of the Agreement.

(2)

Such adjustments shall be made as of the following times: (a) immediately prior to the acquisition of an additional interest in the Partnership by any new or existing Partner in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution; (b) immediately prior to the distribution by the Partnership to a Partner of more than a de minimis amount of property as consideration for an interest in the Partnership; and (c) immediately prior to the grant of an interest in the Partnership (other than a de minimis interest) on or after May 6, 2004 as consideration for the provision of services to or for the benefit of the Partnership by an existing Partner acting in a partner capacity or by a new Partner acting in a partner capacity or in anticipation of being a partner; and (d) immediately prior to the liquidation of the Partnership, provided however that adjustments pursuant to clauses (a), (b) and (c) above shall be made only if the General Partner determines that such adjustments are necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Partners in the Partnership.

B-2
 

	(3)		In accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) the Carrying Value of Partnership assets distributed in kind shall be adjusted upward and downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, as of the time any such asset is distributed, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of such Partnership property and allocated pursuant to Article 6 of the Agreement.
	(4)		In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss the aggregate cash amount and fair market value of all Partnership assets (including cash or cash equivalents) shall be determined by the General Partner using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt, or in the case of a liquidating distribution pursuant to Article 13 of the Agreement, be determined and allocated by the Liquidator using such reasonable methods of valuation as it may adopt. The General Partner, or the Liquidator, as the case may be, shall allocate such aggregate value among the assets of the Partnership (in such manner as it determines in its sole and absolute discretion to arrive at a fair market value for individual properties).

E.

The provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-l(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations. In the event the General Partner shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto (including, without limitation, debits or credits relating to liabilities which are secured by contributed or distributed property or which are assumed by the Partnership, the General Partner, or the Limited Partners) are computed in order to comply with such Regulations, the General Partner may make such modification, provided that it is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts distributable to any Person pursuant to Article 13 of the Agreement upon the dissolution of the Partnership. The General Partner also shall (i) make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the Capital Accounts of the Partners and the amount of Partnership capital reflected on the Partnership’s balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q), and (ii) make any appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b).

EXHIBIT C

SPECIAL TAX ALLOCATION RULES

1. Special Allocation Rules.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or this Exhibit C, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

	A.		Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 6 of the Agreement or any other provisions of this Exhibit C, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any fiscal year (except as a result of certain conversions and refinancings of Partnership indebtedness, certain capital contributions, or certain revaluations of the Partnership property as further described in Regulations Sections 1.704-2(d)(4), 1.704-2(f)(2) or 1.704-2(f)(3)), each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, as determined under Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 1.A is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and for purposes of this Section 1.A. only, each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to Article 6 of the Agreement with respect to such fiscal year and without regard to any decrease in Partner Minimum Gain during such fiscal year.
	B.		Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of Article 6 of the Agreement or any other provisions of this Exhibit C (except Section 1.A hereof), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any fiscal year (except as a result of certain conversions and refinancings of Partnership indebtedness, certain capital contributions, or certain revaluations of the Partnership property as further described in Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(3) and 1.704-2(i)(4)), each Partner who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each General Partner and Limited Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 1.B is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback

C-1
 

requirement in such Section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Solely for purposes of this Section 1.B, each partner’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to Article 6 of the Agreement or this Exhibit with respect to such fiscal year, other than allocations pursuant to Section 1.A hereof.

	C.		Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), and after giving effect to the allocations required under Sections 1.A and 1.B hereof, such Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Partnership income and gain shall be specifically allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, its Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. This Section 1.C is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” under Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
	D.		Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Partnership Interests. If the General Partner determines in its good faith discretion that the Partnership’s Nonrecourse Deductions must be allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the General Partner is authorized, upon notice to the Limited Partners, to revise the prescribed ratio to the numerically closest ratio which does satisfy such requirements.
	E.		Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b)(4) and 1.704-2(i).
	F.		Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Regulations Section l .704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations.
	G.		Sections 1245/1250 Recapture. If any portion of gain from the sale of property is treated as Recapture Income, such Recapture Income shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with the provisions of Regulations Sections 1.1245-1(e) and 1.1250-1(f).

C-2
 

H.

Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 1.C of this Exhibit C (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations promulgated under Section 704 of the Code. The Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Net Income, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss and deduction to each Partner so that, to the extent possible, and to the extent permitted by the Regulations, the cumulative allocations of Net Income, Net Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Partner shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Partner if the Regulatory Allocations had not been made.

2.

Allocations for Tax Purposes

	A.		Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, for federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Article 6 of the Agreement and Section 1 of this Exhibit C.
	B.		Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in an attempt to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities attributable to a Contributed Property or Adjusted Property, items of income, gain, loss, and deduction shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes (and not for “book” purposes) among the Partners as follows:

	(1)		(a) In the case of a Contributed Property, such items attributable thereto shall be allocated among the Partners consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code that takes into account the variation between the Gross Asset Value of such property and its adjusted basis at the time of contribution; and
	(b)		any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to a Contributed Property shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Article 6 of the Agreement and Section 1 of this Exhibit C.
	(2)		(a) In the case of an Adjusted Property, such items shall

(1) first, be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such property and the allocations thereof pursuant to Exhibit B and

(2) second, in the event such property was originally a Contributed Property, be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with Section 2.B.(1) of this Exhibit C; and

(b) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to an Adjusted Property shall be allocated among the Partners in the same

C-3
 

manner as its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Article 6 of the Agreement and Section 1 of this Exhibit C.

(3)

all other items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as their correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Article 6 of the Agreement and Section 1 of this Exhibit C.

C.

For purposes of Sections 2.B(1)(a) and 2.B(2)(a) of this Exhibit C, the General Partner shall utilize the “traditional method with curative allocations” option described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(c) to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities attributable to a Contributed Property or Adjusted Property; provided, however, that curative allocations with respect to a Contributed Property or Adjusted Property shall only be made (i) to the extent necessary to offset the effect of the “ceiling rule” described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b)(1) on allocations of depreciation deductions with respect to such Contributed Property or Adjusted Property, and (ii) from the allocation of gain (or loss) on the sale or other disposition of such Contributed Property or Adjusted Property, up to the amount of such gain (or loss). This curative allocation provision is intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-3(c)(3)(iii)(B).

D.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of Section 2.B(l)(a) of this Exhibit C, the General Partner shall have the right to utilize the “remedial allocation method” described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(d) to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities attributable to the contribution to the Partnership of the Canyon Ranch Property specified in the Canyon Contribution Agreement.
