The Capital Account balance for each Interest Holder as of the Effective Date shall be as set forth on Exhibit A hereto. Thereafter, the Capital Account for that Interest Holder shall be maintained in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) Adjustments Required by Partnership Operations. The Capital Accounts shall be adjusted to reflect the impact of the Partnership's operations as follows:

(i) Increased by:

(1) that Interest Holder’s additional pro-rata Capital Contributions (any contribution of property, other than money, by an Interest Holder to the Partnership will result in an increase of such Interest Holder’s Capital Account equal to the agreed fair market value of the property contributed, as mutually agreed by the General Partner and the contributing Interest Holder) net of liabilities secured by such contributed property that the Partnership is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code;

Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement-Page 13 of 44

(2) that Interest Holder’s distributive share of Losses or deductions allocated to that Interest Holder under Article III;

(3) any items in the nature of expenses or losses which are specially allocated to that Interest Holder under Section 3.2 and/or Section 3.3; and

In determining the amount of any liability for purposes of subparagraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii), and the definition of Adjusted Capital Contributions, there shall be taken into account Code Section 752(c) and any other applicable provisions of the Code and Regulations.

(iii) Otherwise adjusted in accordance with the Capital Account maintenance rules of Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv).

(b) Admission of Additional Limited Partners. If the General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that additional capital would be beneficial to the Partnership, the General Partner may raise the additional capital by admitting additional Limited Partners to the Partnership on such terms and conditions as determined by the General Partner, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 2.4(b) but otherwise in the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion.

(1) Immediately before the admission of an additional Limited Partner, each Interest Holder’s Capital Account shall be adjusted to reflect the Gross Asset Value of the Partnership Property. Then, the additional Limited Partner’s Capital Account shall be created by the Partnership, and the Ownership Percentages of the Interest Holders shall be adjusted as provided in Section 2.5. The purpose of adjusting the Capital Accounts in this manner is to properly reflect the economic relationship among all Interest Holders on the Partnership's books and records.

(2) As conditions precedent to any Person’s becoming an additional Limited Partner, any such Person and his/her spouse shall become (by written joinder agreement or otherwise) parties to this Agreement, which shall bind them to, and grant them the benefits of, this Agreement.

(c) Non-Pro Rata Capital Contributions. If additional non-pro rata Capital Contributions are made by any Partner, at the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion, each Interest Holder’s capital Account may be adjusted to reflect the Gross Asset Value of the Partnership Property immediately before the non-pro rata

Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement-Page 14 of 44

Capital Contribution. Then, the non-pro rata Capital Contribution of the contributing Partner will be added to that Partner’s Capital Account and the Ownership Percentages of the Interest Holders shall be adjusted as provided in Section 2.5. The purpose of adjusting the Capital Accounts in this manner is to properly reflect the economic relationship among all Interest Holders on the Partnership's books and records.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4 and the other 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 all or a portion of an Interest is transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred Interest. In the event the General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, 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 contributions or distributed property or which are assumed by the Partnership or Interest Holders), 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 adverse effect on the amounts distributed to any Person pursuant to Article X 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 General Partner and other Interest Holders 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-l(b), provided that, to the extent that any such adjustment is inconsistent with other provisions of this Agreement and would have a material adverse effect on any Limited Partner, such adjustment shall require the consent of the affected Limited Partner.

2.5 Ownership Percentages. The beneficial ownership interest of each Interest Holder in the Partnership (“Ownership Percentage”) shall initially be as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, which is the percentage determined by dividing each Interest Holder’s initial Capital Account by the aggregate initial Capital Accounts of all Interest Holders. In the event that the General Partner deems it appropriate to adjust the Capital Accounts of the Interest Holders to reflect the economic relationship of the Interest Holders, each Interest Holder’s Capital Account shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, to reflect that Interest Holder’s portion of the change in the Gross Asset Value of each item of Partnership Property. After the Gross Asset Value of the Partnership Property is so adjusted and all existing Interest Holders’ Capital Accounts are adjusted to reflect their then respective Ownership Percentages, the additional Capital Contributions, whether from the addition of a new Partner or a non pro rata contribution, shall be added to the Capital Account of the contributing Interest Holder. After all such increases are reflected on the Partnership's books and records, each Interest Holder's Ownership Percentage shall be recalculated by dividing the Interest Holder's Capital Account by the aggregate of the Capital Accounts of all Interest Holders.

(a) Subject to Sections 3.1(c) and (d), Losses shall be allocated as follows:

(i) To those Interest Holders with positive Capital Accounts, in the ratio of their positive Capital Accounts, until such Capital Accounts have been reduced to zero; and

(ii) Thereafter, to the Interest Holders in proportion to their Ownership Percentages.

(b) Subject to Sections 3.1(c) and 3.1(d), Profits shall be allocated as follows:

(a) Minimum Gain Charqeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article III, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Allocation Year, each Interest Holder shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such Allocation Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Allocation Years) in an amount equal to such Interest Holder’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with 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 Interest Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Regulations. This Section 3.2(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Interest Holder Minimum Gain Charqeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article III, if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Allocation Year, each Interest Holder who has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(S) of the Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such Allocation Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Allocation Years) in an amount equal to such Interest Holder’s share of the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Interest Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Regulations. This Section 3.2(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

In the event any Interest Holder unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(S) or Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) of the Regulations, items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Interest Holder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Interest Holder as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 3.2(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Interest Holder would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article III have been tentatively made as if this Section 3.2(c) were not in this Agreement.

Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement-Page 17 of 44

(d) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Interest Holder has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Allocation Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Interest Holder is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Interest Holder is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(S), each such Interest Holder shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 3.2(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Interest Holder would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article III have been made as if Section 3.2(c) and this Section 3.2(d) were not in this Agreement.

(e) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Allocation Year shall be specially allocated to the General Partner or Interest Holder 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 Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

(f) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions of the Partnership (other than Partner Nonrecourse Deductions) for any Allocation Year shall be aggregated with all other items of Partnership income, gain, loss, and deduction in determining the Profit and Losses of the Partnership.

(g) Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a Distribution to an Interest Holder in complete liquidation of the distributee’s Interest, the amount of such adjustment to 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 gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Interest Holders in accordance with their Ownership Percentages in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Interest Holder to whom such Distribution was made in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

(h) Allocations Relating to Taxable Issuance of Interests. Any income, gain, loss or deduction realized as a direct or indirect result of the issuance of an Interest by the Partnership to a Partner (the “Issuance Items”) shall be allocated among the General Partner and other Interest Holders so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such Issuance Items, together with all other allocations under this Agreement to each Interest Holder, shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Interest Holder if the Issuance Items had not been realized.

3.3 Curative Allocations.

The allocations set forth in Sections 3.1(c), 3.2(a), 3.2(b), 3.2(c), 3.2(d), 3.2(e), 3.2(f), and 3.2(g) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Interest Holders that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 3.3. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article III(other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Interest Holder’s capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Interest Holder would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to Section 3.1. In exercising its discretion under this Section 3.3, the General Partner shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections 3.2(a) and 3.2(b) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Sections 3.2(e) and 3.2(f).

3.4 Other Allocation Rules.

(a) Profits, Losses and any other items of income, gain, loss or deduction shall be allocated to the Interest Holders pursuant to this Article III as of the last day of each Allocation Year; provided that Profits, Losses and such other items shall also be allocated at such times as the Gross Asset Values of Partnership Property are adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of Gross Asset Value in Section 1.1.

(b) For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses, or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the General Partner using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

(c) All allocations to the Interest Holders pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall, except as otherwise provided, be divided among them in proportion to their respective Ownership Percentages. In the event there is more than one General Partner, all such allocations to the General Partners shall be divided among them as they may agree.

(d) The Interest Holders are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article III and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article III in reporting their shares of Partnership income and loss for income tax purposes, except to the extent otherwise required by law.

Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement-Page 19 of 44

(e) Solely for purposes of determining an Interest Holder’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Interest Holders’ Interests in Partnership profits are as follows: General Partner one percent (1%), and other Interest Holders’ ninety-nine percent (99%) (i.e., in proportion to their Ownership Percentages).

(f) To the extent permitted by Section 1.704-2(h)(3) of the Regulations, the General Partner shall endeavor to treat Distributions of Net Cash From Operations or Net Cash From Sales or Refinancings as having been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability or a Partner Nonrecourse Debt only to the extent that such Distributions would cause or increase an Adjusted capital Account Deficit for any Interest Holder.

(g) All tax credits shall, subject to the applicable provisions of the Code and Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), be allocated to the Interest Holders in accordance with their respective Ownership Percentage as of the time the tax credit arises. Each Partner’s allocable share of any tax credit recapture shall bear the same ratio to the total credit recapture as such Partner’s share of the original tax credit subject to recapture.

(h) To the extent possible, each Interest Holder’s allocable share of Partnership Profits which is characterized as ordinary income pursuant to Sections 1245 or 1250 of the Code, with respect to the disposition of an item of Partnership Property shall bear the same ratio to the total Profits of the Partnership so characterized as such Interest Holder’s share of the past depreciation and/or cost recovery deductions taken with respect to the specific item of Partnership Property bears to all the Interest Holders’ past depreciation and/or cost recovery deductions with respect to that specific item of Partnership Property.

3.5 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704C(c). In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Interest Holders so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value (computed in accordance with subparagraph (i) of the definition of Gross Asset Value in Section 1.1).

In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of Gross Asset Value in Section 1.1, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.

Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement-Page 20 of 44

Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the General Partner in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement, provided that the Partnership shall elect to apply the “Traditional Method” allocation method permitted by the Regulations under Code Section 704(c). Allocations pursuant to this Section 3.5 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect or in any way be taken into account in computing any Interest Holder’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or Distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, credit and any other allocations not otherwise provided for shall be divided among the Interest Holders according to their respective Ownership Percentages.

3.6 Distributable Funds. The term “Distributable Funds” of the Partnership shall mean the excess from time to time of (A) the Net Cash From Operations plus the Net Cash From Sales or Refinancings, over (B) the working capital requirements to pay Partnership Expenses and reasonable Reserves of the Partnership. Nothing herein shall be construed to require that the General Partner obtain financing for the purpose of creating Distributable Funds.

3.7 Distributions.

(a) Subject to Section 3.7(d) (governing Tax Distributions) and Article X hereof (governing the Distribution of assets of the Partnership upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership), the General Partner shall distribute Distributable Funds as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion. Unless otherwise agreed by the General Partner and all Limited Partners, Distributable Funds shall be distributed to the Interest Holders in proportion to their respective Ownership Percentages.

(b) Unless otherwise required by this Agreement or by law, no Interest Holder shall be required to restore to the Partnership any funds distributed to such Interest Holder pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) The working capital requirements and Reserves of the Partnership shall be determined by the General Partner, whose determination shall be final and binding.

(d) Subject to there being Distributable Funds available to make Distributions and there being no other agreements of the Partnership (including,by way of example and without limitation, any agreements between the Partnership and any lenders to the Partnership) which would limit or prohibit such Distributions, the General Partner shall, before the expiration of ninety (90) days following the end of a Fiscal Year, promptly declare and pay a Tax Distribution, as hereinafter defined, to each Interest Holder in proportion to that Interest Holder’s Ownership Percentage. The amount of

Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement-Page 21 of 44

the “Tax Distribution” shall be calculated on a one percent (1%) Interest basis by determining (A) that portion of the Partnership’s taxable income attributable to a one percent (1%) Interest during the prior Fiscal Year multiplied by (B) the highest federal and state tax rate then applicable, as determined by the General Partner. The amount of the Tax Distribution shall then be multiplied by the respective Interest Holder’s actual Interest during such Fiscal Year (or portion thereof) in accordance with the reasonable determination of the General Partner, to determine the total Tax Distribution to that Interest Holder. The General Partner and Partnership’s obligation to declare and pay the foregoing Tax Distribution to the Interest Holders is subject to the restrictions governing Distributions under the Act and such other pertinent governmental or contractual restrictions as are now, or may hereafter become effective.

(e) Partnership assets may, pursuant to either liquidating or non-liquidating Distributions, be distributed by the General Partner in kind.

(f) All amounts withheld or required to be withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state, local or foreign tax law with respect to any payment, Distribution or allocation to the Partnership or the Interest Holders and treated by the Code (whether or not withheld pursuant to the Code) or any such tax law as amounts payable by or in respect of any Interest shall be treated as amounts distributed to the Interest Holder with respect to which such amount was withheld pursuant to this Article III for all purposes under this Agreement. The General Partner is authorized to withhold from Distributions to the Interest Holders and to pay over to any federal, state, local or foreign government any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any other federal, state, local or foreign law and shall allocate any such amounts to the Interest Holders with respect to which such amount was withheld.

ASSIGNABILITY OF INTERESTS

9.1 General Partner’s Interest; Admission of Successor or Additional General Partner.

(a) Successor and Additional General Partners. With the consent of the General Partner and a Majority Vote of the Partners, the General Partner (and any successors or additional General Partners appointed in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.1(a)) may at any time designate one or more Persons to be successors to such General Partner or to be additional General Partners, in each case with such participation in such General Partner’s interest as such General Partner and such successors or additional General Partners may agree upon, provided that the Interests of the Interest Holders shall not be adversely affected thereby.

(b) Retirement, Withdrawal and Assignment of General Partner’s Interest. Except in connection with a transfer to a successor or additional General Partner pursuant to Section 9.1(a), no General Partner shall have any right to retire or withdraw voluntarily from the Partnership or to sell, transfer or assign its Interest, except that it may substitute in its stead as a General Partner any Affiliate of the General Partner, provided that such Affiliate has first agreed to assume all of the obligations of the terminating General Partner under this Agreement. Each Limited Partner hereby consents to the admission of any additional or successor General Partners pursuant to this Section 9.1, and no further consent or approval shall be required.

9.2 Voluntary Disposition; Deemed Offer to the Partnership. Except as permitted in this Article IX, no Interest Holder shall sell, assign, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise (a “Disposition”) the whole or any part of such Interest Holder’s Interest without first obtaining the prior written consent of the General Partner and a Majority Vote of the Partners, or otherwise complying with this Article IX. In the absence of such prior written consent any Disposition shall be subject to the following provisions:

(a) Deemed Offer to Partnership. Any Attempted Disposition by an Interest Holder of all or any portion of such Interest Holder’s Interest shall constitute a deemed offer (the “Offer”) by the Interest Holder attempting such Attempted Disposition to sell such Interest Holder’s entire Interest to the Partnership. The date of the Offer shall be the later of (i) the date that the General Partner has actual knowledge of such Attempted Disposition, or (ii) the date that the General Partner receives written notice thereof from the Interest Holder attempting such Attempted Disposition.

Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement-Page 31 of 44

(b) Partnership’s Option to Purchase. The Partnership shall have the option for ninety (90) days following the Offer to elect to purchase not less than all the Interest that is the subject of the Offer. If the Partnership does not elect (with the consent of the General Partner and a Majority Vote of the Partners) to purchase the Interest that is the subject of the Offer within such ninety (90) day period, the Partner attempting such voluntary Disposition shall be permitted, at any time or times within, but not after, thirty (30) days after the lapse of the option in connection with such Offer to make a Disposition of not less than all of the Interest which was the subject of such Offer; provided, however, that no such transfer shall be made after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period.

9.3 Involuntary Disposition. Prior to or upon any Involuntary Disposition of an Interest, the Interest Holder who owns such Interest or his representative shall send written notice thereof by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, disclosing in full to the General Partner the nature and details of such Involuntary Disposition. The Involuntary Disposition shall constitute an Offer, and the provisions of Section 9.2(b) shall apply, provided, that the date of the Offer shall be the later of: (i) the date that the General Partner receives such written notice from the Interest Holder; or (ii) sixty (60) days following such Involuntary Disposition.

9.4 Disposition Upon Termination of Marital Relationship. If the marital relationship of an Interest Holder is terminated by the death of an Interest Holder’s spouse or by divorce and such Interest Holder does not succeed to the Interest Holder’s spouse’s interest in the Partnership, such Interest Holder shall have the option to purchase all of his/her spouse’s property interest in the Partnership, and his/her spouse or the executor or administrator of such spouse’s estate shall be obligated to sell such property interest. Such option must be exercised by such Interest Holder within ninety (90) days after such death or divorce. Should any Interest Holder fail to exercise such option within such ninety (90) day period, such failure shall constitute an Offer of the former spouse’s property interest in the Partnership, and the provisions of Sections 9.2(a) and 9.2(b) shall apply. The date of the Offer shall be the ninety-first (91st) day after such death or divorce.

Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement-Page 32 of 44

9.5 Death or Permanent Disability of an Interest Holder.

(a) Upon the death of an Interest Holder, the Partnership shall be obligated to purchase all of such Interest Holder’s Interest, and such deceased Interest Holder’s personal representative shall be obligated to sell such Interest to the Partnership. The purchase price at which such Interest shall be purchased shall be as determined pursuant to Section 9.6 and shall be payable as provided in Section 9.6(b)(2) herein. Closing shall be in accordance with Section 9.6(c).

(b) The Permanent Disability of an Interest Holder shall constitute an Offer of such Interest Holder’s Interest, and the provisions of Sections 9.2(a) and 9.2(b) shall apply. The date of the Offer shall be the ninety-first (91st) day after an agreement or determination of such Permanent Disability.

9.6 Determination of Purchase Price; Closing of Purchase of Interest.

(a) Determination of Purchase Price. The price to be paid upon the purchase of an Interest under Sections 9.2 through 9.5 shall be the Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of a one percent (1%) Interest as of the Determination Date, utilizing the procedure described herein. “Fair Market Value” of a one percent (1%) Interest for purposes of such determination shall be the price as of the Determination Date that a one percent (1%) Interest would change hands between a willing buyer and willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell, and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such determination shall NOT consider any otherwise applicable discounts with respect to marketability (or lack of marketability) of such Interest or with respect to such Interest being valued being a minority Interest.

(1) First, there shall be a determination of the Fair Market Value of a one percent (1%) Interest as determined by a third-party valuation firm which is not an Affiliate of the Partnership and which shall have a recognized expertise in valuing interests such as Interests in the Partnership, the business of the Partnership and the business of any entities owned, in whole or in part, by the Partnership.

[i] If there has been such a third-party valuation obtained by, or upon behalf of, the Partnership with respect to such Fair Market Value within the two (2) years prior to the Determination Date, the preliminary Fair Market Value of a one percent (1%) Interest shall be either:

[a] As determined by such third-party valuation firm in such valuation; or

Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement-Page 33 of 44

[b] As determined by a third-party valuation firm, pursuant to the written election of either the General Partner or the offeror/selling Interest Holder, which election shall be delivered by the electing party to the other party within ten (10) days following the Determination Date (and absent such election and delivery, this Section 9.6(a)(1)[i][b] shall be deemed waived). Such third-party valuation firm: (i) shall not be an Affiliate of the Partnership; (ii) shall have a recognized expertise in valuing interests such as Interests in the Partnership, the business of the Partnership and the business of any entities owned, in whole or in part, by the Partnership; and (iii) shall be selected either by agreement of the General Partner and the offeror/selling Interest Holder (which agreement shall be within ten [10] days following receipt by such receiving other party of the written election provided in this Section 9.6(a)(1)[i][b]) or as designated by a court in El Paso County, Texas having jurisdiction. Any such valuation shall be completed not later than ninety (90) days following the applicable Determination Date. The cost of any valuation conducted pursuant to this Section 9.6(a)(1)[i][b] shall be: [i] if such valuation shall have been pursuant to the election of the General Partner, solely at the expense of the Partnership; or [ii] if such valuation shall have been pursuant to the election of the offeror/selling Interest Holder, solely at the expense of such offeror/selling Interest Holder.

[ii] If there shall not have been such a third-party valuation obtained by, or upon behalf of, the Partnership with respect to such Fair Market Value within the two (2) years prior to the Determination Date, the preliminary Fair Market Value of a one percent (1%) Interest shall be as determined by a third party valuation firm: (i) which is not an Affiliate of the Partnership; (ii) which shall have recognized expertise in valuing interests such as Interests in the Partnership, the business of the Partnership and the business of any entities owned, in whole or in part, by the Partnership; and (iii) which shall be selected either by agreement of the General Partner and the offeror/selling Interest Holder or as designated by a court in El Paso County, Texas, having jurisdiction. Any such valuation shall be completed not later than ninety (90) days following the applicable Determination Date. The cost of any valuation conducted pursuant to this Section 9.6(a)(1)[ii] shall be solely at the expense of the Partnership.

(2) The preliminary Fair Market Value of a one percent (1%) Interest as determined by such valuation firm in accordance with the above provisions shall then be adjusted (not later than thirty [30] days following the General Partner’s receipt of such valuation by the valuation firm) by the General Partner for the net Profits or Losses of the Partnership and for the net activity in the Capital Accounts for the period from the date of such appraiser’s determination of such preliminary Fair Market Value to the Determination Date, such adjustments to be for the net Profits or Losses of the Partnership and for the net activity in the Capital Accounts for the period from the date of such appraiser's determination of such Fair Market Value to the Determination Date, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.

Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement-Page 34 of 44

(3) The determination by the General Partner of the Fair Market Value of a one percent (1%) Interest in accordance with the above shall be final and binding on all Partners.

(4) Any questions with respect to accounting procedures or other issues in the determination of the Fair Market Value not controlled by this Agreement shall be conclusively resolved by the independent accountants regularly employed by the Partnership.

(b) Payment of Purchase Price. With respect to any sale/purchase under Sections 9.2, 9.3, 9.4 or 9.5 herein, the purchase price shall be paid at time of closing as hereinafter provided. At the option of the Partnership and to the extent permitted by any loan documents or other agreements to which the Partnership is a party, at least twenty percent (20%) of the purchase price determined under Section 9.6(a) above for the Interest being acquired by the Partnership shall be paid by certified or cashiers check upon the closing, and any balance shall be evidenced by the Partnership’s promissory note, secured by the Interest purchased, payable in four (4) or fewer equal annual installments, unpaid principal bearing interest prior to maturity at a per annum rate of interest equal to the Base Rate (as hereinafter defined), determined annually on the anniversary date of the note, with unpaid principal and interest bearing interest after maturity at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, and providing for attorney's fees in the event of default at the maximum lawful rate. Such promissory note shall be prepayable at any time without penalty.

(c) Closing of Purchase. The closing of any purchase hereunder of any Interest under Sections 9.2 through 9.5 hereof shall be one hundred twenty (120) days after the later of: (i) the acceptance of the Offer pursuant to Sections 9.2, 9.3, 9.4 or 9.5(b) herein; (ii) the date of death of the Interest Holder; or (iii) the determination of Fair Market Value in accordance with Section 9.6(a).

9.7 Partnership Liabilities. In the event of a sale of an Interest under the provisions of Sections 9.2 through 9.5 hereof, the Partnership must, at the option of the selling Interest Holder or the selling Interest Holder’s personal representative, either (i) obtain a complete release from any lenders or other creditors releasing the selling Interest Holder from any liability the selling Interest Holder may have incurred as a result of the selling Interest Holder having been a guarantor of, or otherwise liable on, any contractual indebtedness of the Partnership (“Guaranteed Indebtedness”) or (ii) indemnify the selling Interest Holder against liability with respect to any Guaranteed Indebtedness.

9.8 Attempted Dispositions Void. Any Attempted Disposition shall be void and of no effect, and shall constitute an Offer, and the provisions of Section 9.2(b) shall apply thereto; provided that the date of the Offer for purposes of this Section 9.8 shall be deemed to be the date as of which the General Partner has actual knowledge of such

Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement-Page 35 of 44

Attempted Disposition. Each party hereto acknowledges that a remedy at law for any breach or attempted breach of this Section 9.8 will be inadequate, agrees that each other party hereto shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief in case of any such breach or attempted breach and further agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief.

9.9 Interest Still Subject to Agreement. From and after any sale/purchase or any other Disposition of an Interest, such Interest shall continue to be subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement. As conditions precedent to any Person’s becoming an Interest Holder hereunder: (i) any such Person who shall become a Limited Partner and his/her spouse shall become (by written joinder agreement or otherwise) parties to this Agreement, which shall bind them to, and grant them the benefits of, this Agreement; and (ii) any such Person who shall become an Assignee (but not be admitted as a Limited Partner) and his/her spouse shall become (by written joinder agreement or otherwise) parties to applicable portions of Article IX of this Agreement, which shall bind them to, and grant them the benefits of, such applicable portions of Article IX of this Agreement.

9.11 Bring-Along Rights.
