3.2 Losses. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth inSections 3.3 and3.4 hereof, Losses for any fiscal year shall be allocated among the General Partners and Interest Holders in proportion to their Percentage Interests; provided, however, the Losses so allocated cannot cause any Interest Holder to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any fiscal year. All Losses in excess of such limitation shall be allocated to the General Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests in the Partnership.
3.3 Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:
(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of thisSection 3, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership fiscal year, each General Partner and Interest Holder shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Person'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 General Partner and Interest Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.7042(f)(6) and 1.704-2 (j) (2) of the Regulations. ThisSection 3.3 (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) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of thisSection 3, if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership fiscal year, each Person 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)(5) of the Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Person'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 General Partner and 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. ThisSection 3.3(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.
(c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Interest Holder unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.7041(b) (2) (ii) (d) (5) or 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 thisSection 3.3(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 thisSection 3 have been tentatively made as if thisSection 3.3(c) were not in the Agreement.
3
(d) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Interest Holder has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Partnership fiscal year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such 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)(5), each such Interest Holder shall be specifically allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to thisSection 3.3(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 thisSection 3 have been made as ifSection 3.3 (c) hereof and thisSection 3.3 (d) were not in the Agreement.
(e) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other period shall be specially allocated to the 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) 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 a result of a distribution to a General Partner or Interest Holder in complete liquidation of her interest in the Partnership, 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 gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the General Partners and Interest Holders in accordance with their interests in the Partnership in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the General Partner or Interest Holder to whom such distribution was made in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) (iv) (m) (4) applies. Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations.
3.4 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth inSections 3.2,3.3(a), 3.3(b),3.3(c), 3.3(d), 3.3(e) and3.3(f) hereof (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners 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 thisSection 3.4. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of thisSection 3 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General Partners shall make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction in whatever manner they determine appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each General Partner's and Interest Holder's Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such General Partner or Interest Holder would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant toSections 3.1 and3.2. In exercising their discretion under thisSection 3.4, the General Partners shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations underSections 3.3(a) and3.3(b) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made underSection 3.3(f).
3.5 Other Allocation Rules.
(a) 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 Partners using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.
(b) All allocations to the Interest Holders and General Partners pursuant to this Section 3 shall, except as otherwise provided, be divided among them in proportion to their Percentage Interests.
4
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, and any other allocations not otherwise provided for shall be divided among the General Partners and Interest Holders in the same proportions as they share Profits or Losses, as the case may be, for the year. Credits shall be allocated in the same manner as Profits.
(d) The Partners are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Section 3 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3 in reporting their shares of Partnership income and loss for income tax purposes.
(e) To the extent permitted by Section 1.704-2(h)(3) of the Regulations, the General Partners shall endeavor to treat distributions 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.
3.6 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704 (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 General Partners and 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. In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to 1 (ii) of the Appendix hereto, 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.
SECTION 4

SECTION 9
TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS
9.1 Restriction on Transfers. Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, no Interest Holder may Transfer all or any portion of her Interest.
9.2 Permitted Transfers. Subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth inSection 9.3 hereof, an Interest Holder may at any time Transfer all or any portion of her Interest to (a) any other Interest Holder, (b) any member of the transferor's Family, (c) any Affiliate of the transferor, (d) the transferor's executor, administrator, trustee, or personal representative to whom such Interests are transferred at death or involuntarily by operation of law, (e) any Purchaser in accordance withSection 9.4 hereof, or (f) in the case of a Partner who is a trustee, to the beneficiary of such trust (any such Transfer being referred to in this Agreement as a "Permitted Transfer"). For purposes hereof, an Interest Holder's Family shall include only such Interest Holder's spouse, natural or adoptive lineal ancestors or descendants, and trusts for her or their exclusive benefit.
9.3 Conditions to Permitted Transfers. A Transfer shall not be treated as a Permitted Transfer underSection 9.2 hereof unless and until the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) Except in the case of a Transfer of an Interest at death or involuntarily by operation of law, the transferor and transferee shall execute and deliver to the Partnership such documents and instruments of conveyance as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership to effect such Transfer and to confirm the agreement of the transferee to be bound by the provisions of thisSection 9. In any case not described in the preceding sentence, the Transfer shall be confirmed by presentation to the Partnership of legal evidence of such Transfer, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel to the Partnership. In all cases, the Partnership shall be reimbursed by the
10
transferor and/or transferee for all costs and expenses that it reasonably incurs in connection with such Transfer.
(b) Except in the case of a Transfer at death or involuntarily by operation of law, the Partnership shall have obtained an opinion of counsel that the Transfer would not cause the Partnership to terminate for federal income tax purposes and that such Transfer would not cause the application of the rules of Code Sections 168 (g) (1) (B) and 168 (h) (generally referred to as the "tax exempt entity leasing rules") or similar rules to apply to the Partnership, Partnership Property, or the Interest Holders.
(c) The transferor and transferee shall furnish the Partnership with the transferee's taxpayer identification number, sufficient information to determine the transferee's initial tax basis in the Interest transferred, and any other information reasonably necessary to permit the Partnership to file all required federal and state tax returns and other legally required information statements or returns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Partnership shall not be required to make any distribution otherwise provided for in this Agreement with respect to any transferred Interest until it has received such information.
9.4 Right of First Refusal. In addition to the other limitations and restrictions set forth in thisSection 9, except as permitted bySection 9.2 hereof, no Interest Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of her Interest (the "Offered Interest") unless such Interest Holder (the "Seller") first offers to sell the Offered Interest pursuant to the terms of thisSection 9.4.
(a) Limitation on Transfers. No Transfer may be made under thisSection 9.4 unless the Seller has received a bona fide written offer (the "Purchase Offer") from a Person (the "Purchaser") to purchase the Offered Interest for a purchase price (the "Offer Price") denominated and payable in United States dollars at closing or according to specified terms, with or without interest, which offer shall be in writing signed by the Purchaser and shall be irrevocable for a period ending no sooner than the day following the end of the Offer Period, as hereinafter defined.
(b) Offer Notice. Prior to making any Transfer that is subject to the terms of thisSection 9.4, the Seller shall give the Partnership and each other Interest Holder written notice (the "Offer Notice") which shall include a copy of the Purchase offer and an offer (the "First Offer") to sell the Offered Interest to the other Interest Holders and the General Partners (the "Offerees") for the Offer Price, payable according to the same terms as (or more favorable terms than) those contained in the Purchase Offer, provided that the First Offer shall be made without regard to the requirement of any earnest money or similar deposit required of the Purchaser prior to closing, and without regard to any security (other than the Offered Interest) to be provided by the Purchaser for any deferred portion of the Offer Price.
(c) Offer Period. The First Offer shall be irrevocable for a period (the "Offer Period") ending at 11:59 P.M., local time at the Partnership's principal office, on the 90th day following the day of the Offer Notice.
(d) Acceptance of First Offer. At any time during the first 60 days of the Offer Period, any Offeree who is an Interest Holder may accept the First Offer as to that portion of the Offered Interest that corresponds to the ratio of her Percentage Interest to the total Percentage Interests held by all Offerees who are Interest Holders, by giving written notice of such acceptance to the Seller and the General Partners. At any time after the 60th day of the Offer Period, the General Partners may accept the First Offer as to any portion of the Offered Interest that has not been previously accepted by given written notice of such acceptance to the Seller. In the event that Offerees ("Accepting Offerees"), in the aggregate, accept the First Offer with respect to all of the Offered Interest, the First Offer shall be deemed to be accepted. If Offerees do not accept the First Offer as to all of the Offered Interest during the Offer Period, the First Offer shall be deemed to be rejected in its entirety.
11
(e) Closing of Purchase Pursuant to First Offer. In the event that the First Offer is accepted, the closing of the sale of the Offered Interest shall take place within 30 days after the First Offer is accepted or, if later, the date of closing set forth in the Purchase Offer. The Seller and all Accepting Offerees shall execute such documents and instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the sale of the Offered Interest pursuant to the terms of the First Offer and thisSection 9.
(f) Sale Pursuant to Purchase Offer if First Offer Rejected. If the First Offer is not accepted in the manner hereinabove provided, the Seller may sell the Offered Interest to the Purchaser at any time within 60 days after the last day of the Offer Period, provided that such sale shall be made on terms no more favorable to the Purchaser than the terms contained in the Purchase Offer and provided further that such sale complies with the other terms, conditions, and restrictions of this Agreement that are applicable to sales of Interests and are not expressly made inapplicable to sales occurring under thisSection 9.4. In the event that the Offered Interest is not sold in accordance with the terms of the preceding sentence, the Offered Interest shall again become subject to all of the conditions and restrictions of thisSection 9.4.
9.5 Prohibited Transfers. Any purported Transfer of Interests that is not a Permitted Transfer shall be null and void and of no effect whatever.
9.6 Rights of Unadmitted Assignees. A Person who acquires one or more Interests but who is not admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner pursuant toSection 9.7 hereof shall be entitled only to allocations and distributions with respect to such Interests in accordance with this Agreement, but shall have no right to any information or accounting of the affairs of the Partnership, shall not be entitled to inspect the books or records of the Partnership, and shall not have any of the rights of a Limited Partner under the Act or this Agreement.

(a) The General Partners consent to such admission;
(b) The Interests with respect to which the transferee is being admitted were acquired by means of a Permitted Transfer;

(d) The transferee pays or reimburses the Partnership for all reasonable legal, filing, and publication costs that the Partnership incurs in connection with the admission of the transferee as a Limited Partner with respect to the Transferred Interests; and
(e) If the transferee is not an individual of legal majority, the transferee provides the Partnership with evidence satisfactory to counsel for the Partnership of the authority of the transferee to become a Partner and to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
9.8 Distributions and Allocations in Respect to Transferred Interests. If any Interest is sold, assigned, or transferred during any accounting period in compliance with the provisions of thisSection 9, Profits, Losses, each item thereof, and all other items attributable to the Transferred Interest for such period shall be divided and allocated between the transferor and the transferee by taking into account their varying Interests during the period in accordance with Code Section 706(d), using any conventions permitted by law and selected by the General Partners. All distributions on or before the date of such Transfer shall be made to the transferor, and all distributions thereafter shall be made to the transferee.
12

(b) A transferee of a Partnership interest from a General Partner hereunder shall be admitted as a General Partner with respect to such interest if, but only if, (1) at the time of such Transfer, such transferee is otherwise a General Partner, (2) the admission of such transferee as a General Partner is approved by a majority vote of the Limited Partners, provided that no such Transfer shall be permitted unless and until all of the conditions set forth inSection 9.3 hereof are satisfied as if the Partnership interest being Transferred was a Limited Partner Interest.
(c) A transferee who acquires a Partnership interest from a General Partner hereunder by means of a Transfer that is permitted under thisSection 10.3, but who is not admitted as a General Partner, shall have no authority to act for or bind the Partnership, to inspect the Partnership's books, or otherwise to be treated as a Partner. The interest transferred shall be strictly limited to the transferor's rights to allocations and distributions as provided by this Agreement with respect to the transferred interest.
10.4 Prohibited Transfers. Any purported Transfer of any Partnership interest held by a General Partner that is not permitted bySection 10.3 above shall be null and void and of no effect whatever.

SECTION 11
DISSOLUTION AND WINDING UP
11.1 Liquidating Events. The Partnership shall dissolve and commence winding up and liquidating upon the first to occur of any of the following ("Liquidating Events"):
(a) The sale of all or substantially all of the Property;
(b) A majority vote of the Partners to dissolve, wind up, and liquidate the Partnership;
(c) The happening of any other event that makes it unlawful, impossible, or impractical to carry on the business of the Partnership; or
(d) Any event which causes there to be no General Partner unless, within 90 days of the date such event occurs, the Limited Partners agree in writing to elect a successor General Partner and continue the Partnership business.
The Partners hereby agree that the Partnership shall not dissolve prior to the occurrence of a Liquidating Event.
11.2 Winding Up. 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, 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 Partners (or, in the event there is no remaining General Partner, any Person elected by a majority in interest of the Limited Partners) shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up of the Partnership. The Property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom, to the extent sufficient therefor, shall be applied and distributed in the following order:
(a) First, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership's debts and liabilities to creditors other than the General Partners;
(b) Second, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership's debts and liabilities to the General Partners;
(c) Third, to the General Partners and Interest Holders in proportion to their Percentage Interests, provided, however, that no distribution shall be made pursuant to thisSection 11. 2 (c) that creates or increases a Capital Account deficit for any Interest Holder which exceeds such Interest Holder's obligation to restore such deficit, determined as follows: Distributions shall first be determined tentatively pursuant to thisSection 11.2(c) without regard to the Interest Holders' Capital Account, and then the allocation provisions ofSection 3 shall be applied tentatively as if such tentative distributions had been made. If any Interest Holder shall thereby have a deficit Capital Account which exceeds her obligation to restore such deficit, the actual distribution to such Interest Holder pursuant to thisSection 11.2(c) shall be equal to the tentative distribution to such Interest Holder less the amount of the excess to such Interest Holder; and
14
(d) The balance, if any, to the General Partners and Interest Holders in accordance with their Capital Accounts, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, and allocations for all periods.
The General Partners shall receive no additional compensation for any services performed pursuant to thisSection 11.
11.3 Compliance With Certain Requirements of Regulations; Deficit Capital Accounts. In the event the Partnership is "liquidated" within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.7041(b)(2)(ii)(g), (a) distributions shall be made pursuant to thisSection 11 to the General Partners and Interest Holders who have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2), and (b) if any General Partner's Capital Account has a deficit balance (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such General Partner shall contribute to the capital of the Partnership the amount necessary to restore such deficit balance to zero in compliance with Regulations Section 1.7041(b) (2) (ii) (b) (3). If any Interest Holder has a deficit balance in her Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Interest Holder 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.
11.4 Deemed Distribution and Recontribution. Notwithstanding any other provision of thisSection 11, 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 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, the Partnership shall be deemed to have distributed the Property in kind to the General Partners and Interest Holders, who shall be deemed to have assumed and taken subject to all Partnership liabilities, all in accordance with their respective Capital Accounts. Immediately thereafter, the General Partners and Interest Holders shall be deemed to have recontributed the Property in kind to the Partnership, which shall be deemed to have assumed and taken subject to all such liabilities.
11.5 Notice of Dissolution. In the event a Liquidating Event occurs, the General Partners shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each of the other Partners. If the Partnership is dissolved, the General Partners shall provide written notice thereof to all other parties with whom the Partnership regularly conducts business and shall publish notice thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in each place in which the Partnership regularly conducts business.

SECTION 13
