“XXI.  SERIES OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

                                Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner is hereby authorized to amend the Partnership’s Certificate of Limited Partnership and this Agreement at any time, and from time to time, as it determines, in its sole discretion, may be necessary or desirable to establish, and convert existing limited partnership interests into, different designated series of limited partnership interests that have separate rights with respect to specified partnership property, in accordance with Section 17-218 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act.  Without limitation of the foregoing, the General Partner shall be authorized to adopt amendments that would provide for any or all of the following:

·All income, earnings, profits and proceeds from the series property, including any proceeds derived from the refinancing, sale or other disposition of such property, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds, would be allocated solely to such series for all purposes, and would be so recorded upon the books of account of the Partnership.

·Separate and distinct books and records would be maintained for each series, and the assets and liabilities associated with a particular series would be held and accounted for separately from the other assets of the Partnership and other series.

·If there are any assets, income, earnings, profits, proceeds, funds or payments that are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular series, the General Partner would allocate them among any one or more of the series in such manner and on such basis as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, deems fair and equitable, which determination would be conclusive and binding on the Limited Partners of all series for all purposes.

·The assets belonging to a particular series would be charged solely with the liabilities of the Partnership in respect of such series and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves attributable to such series.  Any general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves of the Partnership that are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular series would be allocated and charged by the Partnership to and among one or more of the series in such manner and on such basis as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, deems fair and equitable, which allocation would be conclusive and binding on the Limited Partners of all series for all purposes.

·No limited partner of any series will have any claim on or any right to any assets allocated to or belonging to any other series.

·At the time a series of limited partnership interest is established, a separate capital account would be established on the books of each series for each Limited Partner which would initially consist of that portion of such Limited Partner’s existing capital account that relates to the series property.  Thereafter, the capital account of each Limited Partner in that series would be adjusted in the manner set forth in the Agreement, but only with respect to (i) capital contributions to such series, (ii) allocations of profit and loss relating to the series, and (iii) distributions paid in respect of such series.”

2.Miscellaneous.

(a)Effect of Amendment.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the Partnership Agreement and the terms of this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall prevail, and any conflicting or inconsistent provisions shall be reconciled and construed to give effect to the terms and intent of this Amendment.

(b)Ratification.  Except as otherwise expressly modified hereby, the Partnership Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and all of the terms and provisions of the Partnership Agreement, as herein modified, are hereby ratified and reaffirmed.

(c)Governing Law.  THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.
