               to own a one-tenths percent (0.1%) interest as a general
               partner in the IGC Partnership, and as such, general partner
               is not relieved from any liabilities of the IGC Partnership
               for its long term debt and for working capital loans.

          2.   The agreement as amended by the amendment contained in
