The General Partner may assign to any such officer from time to time such duties and powers as the General Partner may deem appropriate subject, however, to the general provisions of this Article V with respect to the rights, powers and duties of the General Partner. Section 5.2. Action by General Partner. ------------------------- (a) Any and all actions with respect to the Partnership (whether the Partnership is then acting on its own behalf or on behalf of an Other Partnership in which the Partnership is a 8 general partner) may be taken by any one or more of the General Partners, acting either singly or together with one or more other General Partners. (b) The General Partner, is specifically authorized, without limitation, to execute, sign, seal and deliver in the name and on behalf of the Partnership (whether the Partnership is then acting on its own behalf or on behalf of an Other Partnership in which the Partnership is a general partner): (i) any and all partnership agreements, certificates, instruments, and any documents required in connection with the formation or operation of any Other Partnership or by any buyer, seller or mortgagee from time to time in connection with the acquisition, sale, ownership, development and operation of any real or personal property; (ii) any deed, lease, guarantee, assignment, mortgage, mortgage note, bill of sale, security agreement, contract, business certificate, or any amendments to any of the foregoing; and (iii) any and all regulatory and other agreements, contracts, documents, notes, certificates and instruments whatsoever involving the ownership, construction, development, management, maintenance or operation of any facilities or any real or personal property or the interest of the Partnership in any Other Partnership, or otherwise requisite to carrying out the intention and purpose of this Agreement. (c) Every contract, deed, mortgage, lease, note, guarantee, assignment, agreement and other instrument executed by a General Partner shall be conclusive evidence in favor of every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that at the time of the delivery thereof (A) this Partnership was in existence, (B) this Agreement had not been terminated or cancelled or amended in any manner so as to restrict such authority (except as shown in certificates or other instruments duly filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts), and (C) the execution and delivery of such instruments were duly authorized under this Agreement. Any Person dealing with the Partnership or the General Partner may always rely on a certificate signed by the General Partner: (i) as to who are the General Partner or Limited Partners hereunder, (ii) as to the existence or nonexistence of any fact or facts which constitute conditions precedent to acts by the General Partner or in any other manner are germane to the affairs of this Partnership, (iii) as to who is authorized to execute and deliver any instrument or document of the Partnership, (iv) as to the authenticity of any copy of this Agreement and amendments thereto, or 9 (v) as to any act or failure to act by the Partnership or as to any other matter whatsoever involving the Partnership or any Partner. Section 5.3. Devotion of Time; Expense Reimbursement. The General Partner --------------------------------------- shall devote to the affairs of the Partnership such time as it may deem necessary for the proper performance of its duties. The General Partner shall also be entitled to charge the Partnership, or to be reimbursed by the Partnership, for all expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with the Partnership business, but shall not receive any compensation for services provided as a General Partner hereunder. Section 5.4. Liability; Indemnification. No General Partner shall be -------------------------- liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Partnership or any Limited Partner for any act performed by it within the scope of the authority conferred by this Agreement, for its failure or refusal to perform any acts except those expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, or for its performance or omission to perform any acts on advice of the Accountants or legal counsel for the Partnership, except in case of willful misconduct. The Partnership shall indemnify and save harmless each General Partner from any expenses, loss or damage incurred by it by reason of (i) any act performed by it within the scope of the authority conferred upon him by this Agreement unless such act constitutes willful misconduct, or (ii) its failure or refusal to perform any acts except those expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, or (iii) its performance or omission to perform any acts on advice of the Accountants or legal counsel for the Partnership. Any indemnity under this Section 5.4 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Partnership assets only, and no Limited Partner shall have any personal liability on account thereof. Section 5.5. Other Business Ventures. The General Partner may engage ----------------------- independently or may act with others (including acting as a general and/or limited partner) in other business ventures of every nature or description including, without limitation, the ownership, operation, management, syndication, sale, brokerage and development of facilities (including projects competing with those of the Partnership or of Other Partnerships), and neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall have any rights in or to such independent ventures or the income or distributions derived therefrom as a result of being Partners hereunder. Furthermore, as set forth in Sections 24, 4.5 and 9.1 through 9.4 of this Agreement, the Partnership may now or hereafter act as a general and/or limited partner in various Other Partnerships which may either exist as of the date of this Agreement or may hereafter be formed.

Section 5.6. Provisions Concerning Loans. In the event that funds not --------------------------- otherwise available should be required at any time to pay operating expenses or any other liabilities of the Partnership, including capital expenditures, the General Partner may, but shall not be obligated to, lend to the Partnership all or any such funds. Any loans made pursuant to this Section 5.6 10 shall be repayable in the manner and bear interest at the rate set forth in Article VIII of this Agreement. Section 5.7. Actions Upon Dissolution. Upon dissolution of the ------------------------ Partnership, the General Partner (or its trustees, receivers, successors or legal representatives) shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate and shall, unless the Partnership is reconstituted pursuant to Section 6.2(a), liquidate the Partnership assets and apply and distribute the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 9.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the liquidating General Partner shall determine that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership's assets would cause undue loss to the Partners (by reason of incurring taxable gain or otherwise), such liquidating General Partner may, in order to avoid such loss, either (i) defer liquidation of, and withhold from distribution for a reasonable time (provided that such deferral of liquidation and distribution shall not have adverse tax consequences for the Limited Partners as a class and they shall have been provided with an amount sufficient to cover any tax liability resulting from such liquidation), the assets of the Partnership except those necessary to satisfy the Partnership debts and obligations (including loans of Partners and Affiliated Persons and accrued interest thereon), or (ii) distribute the shares of such Partnership assets to the Partners in kind. ARTICLE VI ---------- WITHDRAWAL; CONTINUATION OF --------------------------- PARTNERSHIP; NEW GENERAL PARTNERS; ---------------------------------- TRANSFER OF GENERAL PARTNER INTERESTS ------------------------------------- Section 6.1. Continuation of Partnership. Upon the Withdrawal of a --------------------------- General Partner, the remaining General Partner or General Partners, if any, or, if none, the Withdrawing General Partner or his heirs, successors or assigns, shall immediately send notice of such Withdrawal to each Partner, and the Partnership shall be (i) dissolved if there is no remaining General Partner and no Person who wilt thereupon become a successor General Partner under Section 6.2 (subject to possible reconstitution as provided in Section 6.2(a)), or (ii) continued by the remaining General Partner(s) as provided in the sentence next following, if such remaining General Partner(s) so elect. The remaining General Partner(s) shall have the right to continue the business of the Partnership upon the Withdrawal of a General Partner. Section 6.2. Designation of Successor or Additional General Partners; -------------------------------------------------------- Reconstitution of the Partnership. - --------------------------------- (a) If, following the Withdrawal of a General Partner, there is no remaining General Partner of the Partnership, then and in such event the Limited Partners may elect by Consent of the Limited Partners, at any time before ninety (90) days have elapsed following the Withdrawal of the last remaining General Partner, to reconstitute the Partnership and continue its business for the balance of the term specified in Section 2.5 hereof. If the Limited Partners so elect to reconstitute the Partnership and thereupon shall, by Consent of the Limited Partners, elect one or more Persons as successor General Partner(s), then such Person(s) shall, if they accept such 11 appointment, be admitted to the Partnership as successor General Partner(s) and the relationship among the then Partners shall be governed by this Agreement. (b) If the successor General Partner(s) designated under the preceding subsection (a) shall be a Limited Partner of the Partnership at the time of his admission as a General Partner, his interest as a General Partner shall be the same as it was as a Limited Partner; provided, however, that his interest as a -------- ------- General Partner may be smaller than his interest as a Limited Partner (retaining the difference as a Limited Partner) if, in the opinion of tax counsel to the Partnership, such smaller General Partner interest will not jeopardize the status of the Partnership as a partnership under the Code. If such successor General Partner shall not then be a Limited Partner, his interest as a General Partner shall be such interest as shall thereupon be voluntarily assigned to him by any General and/or Limited Partners. Section 6.3 Interest of Withdrawn General Partner. ------------------------------------- (a) Each General Partner hereby covenants and agrees for himself and his assigns, successors, heirs, executors and legal representatives to transfer, at the time of his Withdrawal, to the remaining General Partner(s), or to a successor General Partner selected in accordance with Section 6.2(a), as the case may be, such portion of his General Partner interest, if any, as shall be necessary, in the opinion of tax counsel to the Partnership, to ensure the continued treatment of the Partnership as a partnership under the Code. No consideration shall be paid to such Withdrawing Partner (or his estate) by the remaining General Partners or the successor General Partner in the event of a transfer pursuant to this Section 6.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Withdrawal and transfer shall not affect the right of the Withdrawing General Partner to repayment of any loans made by such Withdrawing General Partner to the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII hereof. For the purposes of Article IX hereof, the effective date of any transfer pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (a) of all or any portion of the General Partner interest of a Withdrawing General Partner shall be deemed to be the date of Withdrawal, but the Partnership shall not make any distributions to the designated transferee until the transfer has been made. (b) That portion of the interest of the Withdrawn General Partner which shall not have been transferred pursuant to Section 6.3(a) shall be retained by such Withdrawn General Partner (or pass to his legal representatives, successors or assigns) and shall, for all purposes hereunder except for purposes of electing a new General Partner under Section 6.2(a) as a result of such Withdrawing General Partner's Withdrawal, have the status of an interest of a Limited Partner with the right to receive that share of the profits, losses and distributions of the Partnership to which the Withdrawn General Partner, as such, would have been entitled had he continued as a General Partner, reduced to the extent of the interest transferred hereunder. Section 6.4. Additional General Partners. Notwithstanding anything to the --------------------------- contrary herein contained, the General Partner(s) (acting unanimously if there shall be more than one such General Partner) shall have the right at any time, and from time to time, with the Consent of the Limited Partners, to designate one or more Persons as additional General Partner(s). Notice of any such designation shall be promptly given to all the Limited Partners. Any such Person so 12 designated as an additional General Partner shall, after having received the Consent of the Limited Partners, become such upon his acceptance in writing of such position and, if such Person is not already a Partner of the Partnership, his agreeing to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement as the same may theretofore have been amended. Provided the Consent of the Limited Partners to the admittance of an additional General Partner shall have been obtained, the consent of all Limited Partners to such admission shall conclusively be deemed to have been given for all purposes. If any Person designated as an additional General Partner under this Article VI shall have theretofore been a Limited Partner of the Partnership, such Person shall be allocated as a General Partner all or such portion as shall be agreed upon by the General Partner(s) and such Person of the percentage of profits, losses and distributions as were previously allocated to him as a Limited Partner. It any Person so designated as an additional General Partner shall not theretofore have been a Partner of the Partnership, his interest as a General Partner shall be such interest as shall thereupon be voluntarily assigned to him by any General and/or Limited Partners. Section 6.5. Amendment to Certificate. Upon the admission of an ------------------------ additional or successor General Partner, Schedules I and III hereto shall be --------- - --- amended to reflect such admission and an amendment to the Certificate reflecting such admission shall be filed in accordance with the Uniform Act. Subject to the provisions of Article IX hereof, the General Partners, acting singly, are hereby constituted, and empowered to act as, the attorney-in-fact of each Limited Partner, with authority to execute, acknowledge, swear to and deliver such instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the foregoing provisions of this Article VI, including amendments to the aforesaid Schedules hereto, amendments to the Certificate required by the Uniform Act, and such consents or ratifications as may be required for purposes of the Uniform Act, business certificates and the like. Section 6.6. Special Restrictions. No General Partner shall sell, -------------------- mortgage, hypothecate, transfer, or otherwise dispose of his General Partner interest in the Partnership except (i) dispositions pursuant to Section 6.3 or 6.4, or (ii) dispositions made with the written consent of all other General Partners. ARTICLE VII ----------- TRANSFERABILITY OF LIMITED PARTNER INTERESTS -------------------------------------------- Section 7.1. Restrictions on Transfer. ------------------------ (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article VII or as required by law, no Limited Partner may voluntarily or involuntarily transfer, sell, alienate, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of his interest in the Partnership without the written consent of the General Partner. (b) If, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph (a), a Limited Partner's interest in the Partnership is, in whole or in part, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered, assigned or transferred (whether by operation of law or otherwise) to any person or persons (except with the prior written consent of the General Partner), or if any attempt is made to effect any such assignment 13 or transfer (a "Prohibited Transfer"), then such Limited Partner shall be deemed ------------------- automatically to have made an offer to sell to the Partnership and the Partnership shall have the option in the sole discretion of the General Partner to purchase, all or any portion of such Limited Partner's interest in the Partnership, at a purchase price (prorated in the event of the General Partner's election to purchase less than all of such Partnership interest) equal to the Appraised Value of the Limited Partner's interest to be repurchased, determined in accordance with the procedure set, forth in Section 7.4(b) through 7.4(h). (c) In the event that the provisions of the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) shall be held unenforceable in connection with any proposed or purported assignment or transfer of all or any portion of a Limited Partner's interest in the Partnership, such Prohibited Transfer shall be automatically subject to the prior right of the Partnership to repurchase such interest in the Partnership, and such assignment or transfer shall not be recognized as consummated by the Partnership until the General Partner shall have declined to exercise such right, at a price and upon terms (subject to Section 7.1(d) hereof) no less favorable than those which the proposed transferring Limited Partner would receive from such assignment or transfer. (d) The General Partner may exercise the Partnership's option under the preceding paragraphs (b) or (c) by giving written notice of exercise to the Limited Partner whose interest in the Partnership is subject of the Prohibited Transfer and the person or persons who are the transferees or potential transferees pursuant to such Prohibited Transfer. The General Partner's written notice of exercise may be given at any time prior to sixty (60) days after the General Partner receives written notice of the Prohibited Transfer (including at any time prior to receipt of such written notice). The Partnership, upon delivery of the General Partner's notice of exercise, shall be obligated to purchase such Partnership interest. The closing of any repurchase of a Limited Partner's Partnership interest under the provisions of paragraphs (b) or (c) shall be held within a reasonable time, not to exceed thirty (30) days after the later of the determination of the Appraised Value of the interest to be purchased (solely in the case of a purchase pursuant to Section 7.1(b)) or delivery of the General Partner's notice of exercise. Payment for such repurchased Partnership interest shall be made either in full in cash, or partially in cash together with a promissory note, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.4(g) below notwithstanding any provisions of Section 7.1(c) hereof. (e) Any Limited Partner who shall assign all his interest in the Partnership (other than by pledge or conditional assignment made with the consent of the General Partner and which has not yet become effective) shall cease to be a Limited Partner of the Partnership, and shall no longer have any rights or privileges of a Limited Partner except that, unless and until the assignee of such Limited Partner is admitted to the Partnership as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance with Section 7.2, said assigning Limited Partner shall retain the statutory obligations of an assignor limited partner under the Uniform Act. (f) Upon any assignment made in accordance with this Section 7.1, there shall be filed with the Partnership a duly executed and acknowledged counterpart of the instrument making such assignment, which instrument shall evidence the written acceptance of the assignee to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement and shall otherwise be in form satisfactory to 14 the General Partner; and if such an instrument is not so filed, the Partnership need not recognize any such assignment for any purpose. (g) An assignee of a Limited Partner interest who does not become a Substituted Limited Partner as provided in Section 7.2 and who desires to make a further assignment of his interest shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article VII to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of his interest. Section 7.2. Substituted Limited Partners. ---------------------------- (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Article VII, no Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute an assignee as a Limited Partner in his place. (b) Upon the transfer of the interest of a Limited Partner to an assignee and the substitution of such assignee as a Substituted Limited Partner, Schedule -------- II and, to the extent appropriate, Schedule III, shall be amended to reflect the - -- -------- --- name and address of such assignee as a Substituted Limited Partner and to eliminate the name and address of the predecessor Limited Partner. Each Substituted Limited Partner shall, as a condition of his admission to the Partnership as a Substituted Limited Partner, execute such instrument or instruments as shall be required by the General Partner to signify his agreement to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. (c) Subject to the provisions of Article IX hereof, each of the General Partners is hereby constituted and empowered to act singly as the attorney-in- fact for the Limited Partners with authority to execute, swear to and deliver such instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Article VII, including amendments to the aforesaid Schedules hereto, amendments to the Certificate, business certificates and the like. Section 7.3. Additional Restrictions. ----------------------- (a) In no event shall all or any part of a Limited Partner interest in the Partnership be assigned or transferred to a minor (other than to a Related Person by reason of death) or to an incompetent. (b) The General Partner may, in addition to any other requirement it may impose, require, as a condition of sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of any interest in the Partnership, that the transferor (i) assume all costs incurred by the Partnership in connection therewith and (ii) furnish it with an opinion of counsel satisfactory (both as to opinion and counsel) to the General Partner that such sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition complies with applicable federal and state securities laws. (c) Any sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition in contravention of any of the provisions of this Article VII shall be void and ineffectual and shall not bind, or be recognized by, the Partnership. 15 Section 7.4. Purchase of Limited Partner Interest Upon Termination of -------------------------------------------------------- Employment. - ---------- (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided elsewhere in this Agreement, upon the cessation for any reason whatsoever or for no reason (including without limitation by reason of death, voluntary termination of employment or involuntary termination with or without cause) of any individual Limited Partner's employment by the General Partner and all Affiliated Persons of the General Partner, the entire Limited Partner interest held by such individual Limited Partner shall be sold by such Limited Partner and purchased by the Partnership, or its nominee (provided if purchased by a nominee the Partnership shall guaranty payment of amounts due) at an aggregate purchase price equal to the aggregate Appraised Value thereof. (b) For purposes of this Section 7.4, "Appraised Value", with respect to --------- ----- each Limited Partner interest subject to repurchase, shall mean the amount such Limited Partner would receive if the Partnership's total assets and business were sold, and it was liquidated. For purposes hereof the sale value shall be determined by valuing the Partnership's total assets and business as a going concern, determined in accordance with the following subsections (c) through (h) of this Section 7.4 and after taking into account all fixed and contingent liabilities as set forth in the books of account maintained by the Partnership. (c) A Limited Partner whose interest is subject to repurchase under this Section 7.4 (or his Legal Representative in the event of his death or incapacity) and the Partnership (x) shall undertake in good faith to reach mutual agreement upon an Appraised Value of the Partnership within thirty (30) days of the termination of employment giving rise to repurchase under this Section 7.4; and (y) failing such mutual agreement, within five (5) days of the end of such thirty-day period each of the Partnership and such Limited Partner (or his Legal Representative in the event of his death or incapacity) shall engage an appraiser, who shall, within sixty (60) days of the termination of such employment, deliver a report to such Limited Partner (or his Legal Representative in the event of his death or incapacity) and the Partnership setting forth the value of the Partnership net of all Indebtedness (as defined below). If either the Limited Partner, on the one hand, or the Partnership, on the other hand, fails to name an appraiser in a timely manner or an appraiser fails to deliver a report of value in a timely manner, the appraiser named by the other party or the appraiser delivering the timely value report, as applicable, shall determine that value alone. If the net values determined by the two appraisers differ by ten percent (10%) or less (measured as a percentage of the higher of the two appraisals), the average net value shall be the Appraised Value of the Partnership, and the Limited Partner, on the one hand, and the Partnership on the other hand, shall each bear the cost of its or their appraiser. If the two appraisers are not within such range, then a third appraiser shall be engaged, either by the two appraisers agreeing on such person or else by applying to a court for a decision; and the Appraised Value of the Partnership shall be the average of the third appraiser's determination and that of the other appraiser closest in value thereto. If a third appraiser is engaged to determine the Appraised Value, the cost of all of the appraisers and all other costs of the appraisal process with respect to determining the Appraised Value of the Partnership shall be borne by the Limited Partner, on the one hand, or the Partnership on the other hand, whose designated appraiser's determination is not taken into account under the immediately preceding sentence. If any appraiser is unable or unwilling to serve, his successor shall be chosen within fifteen (15) days of 16 his failing or ceasing to serve in the same manner as he was chosen. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection (c) the parties may at any time by agreement determine the Appraised Value of the Partnership and terminate the appraisal process. Each appraiser designated pursuant to this subsection (c) shall be a reputable appraiser with at least five (5) years' professional experience. (d) For purposes of this Section 7.4, "Indebtedness" shall mean all ------------ obligations of the Partnership, fixed and contingent as set forth in the books of account maintained by the Partnership. (e) The Appraised Value determined by each appraiser pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall take into account and use as a standard the price that a ready, willing and able buyer under no compulsion to buy, and a willing seller under no compulsion to sell, would establish for the Partnership as of the applicable date on a freely-negotiated basis and assuming that the purchase price were to be paid in cash at the time of closing. Any cash or liquid investments held by the Partnership as of the relevant date shall be taken into account in determining the Appraised Value. (f) All appraisers selected hereunder shall have at least ten (10) years experience in valuing businesses, shall have appraised companies with an aggregate value for all appraisals of at least $100,000,000 and shall have appraised a single company with an appraised value of at least $25,000,000. The Appraised Value of the Partnership determined pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be binding and conclusive on all parties, and award based thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction and shall be final and binding on all parties. (g) Payment of the repurchase price for the Limited Partner interest subject to repurchase pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be made, at the closing, either (i) in full, in cash or by certified or bank check, or (ii) in cash or by certified or bank check in an amount equal to the greater of twenty- five percent (25%) of the total repurchase price or $500,000, and by a promissory note of the Partnership in the form of Exhibit A annexed hereto (the ------- - "Note"), in a principal amount equal to the balance of such total purchase ---- price. The principal amount of any such promissory note shall be paid in one or a series of installments, each installment except the final installment being in an amount equal to the greater of one-third of such principal amount or $500,000, payable on each anniversary of the date of the repurchase closing until paid in full. Any such promissory note shall bear interest on the unpaid principal balance thereof at an annual rate equal to one percent (1%) above the rate of interest in effect on the date of the closing designated by The First National Bank of Boston at its head office as its base rate. Interest shall be payable in arrears on each principal installment payment date. If payment is made in installments hereunder the selling Limited Partner shall obtain at the time of closing of his sale a perfected security interest in the Partnership interest sold to secure payments under the Note. (h) In determining Appraised Value, the appraisers shall not take into account the fact that any Limited Partner, or any Limited Partner's predecessor in interest, ceasing to be an employee of the General Partner and all Affiliated Persons of the General Partner may significantly adversely affect the value of the Partnership. Notwithstanding anything otherwise 17 provided, the right of the General Partner or an Affiliated Person to terminate a Limited Partner's employment, with or without cause shall not be restricted even if the timing of such termination of employment may have a significant adverse effect on the Limited Partner's investment in this Partnership. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to create any employment rights whatsoever in any Limited Partner or Related Person of a Limited Partner. ARTICLE VIII ------------ BORROWINGS AND LOANS -------------------- (a) All Partnership borrowings shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement. To the extent borrowings are permitted, they may be made from any source, including Partners and Affiliated Persons. The Partnership may issue suitable promissory notes to evidence such loans. (b) If any Partner shall lend any moneys to the Partnership, the amount of any such loan shall not constitute an increase in the amount of his Capital Contribution nor affect in any way his share of the profits, losses and distributions of the Partnership. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, any loans made by a Partner shall be obligations of the Partnership of equal rank with obligations to unsecured third-party creditors, and any interest payable thereon shall be at the same rate applicable to the Note. ARTICLE IX ---------- PROFITS, LOSSES AND CREDITS; DISTRIBUTIONS ------------------------------------------ Section 9.1. Profits, Losses and Credits. --------------------------- (a) All profits and losses of the Partnership and all credits of the Partnership except those arising from Capital Transactions shall be allocated for all purposes (including federal and state income tax purposes) among the Partners listed on Schedule IIIA in accordance with the Profit-Sharing Ratios -------- ---- set forth therein.

(c) All losses of the Partnership arising from a Capital Transaction shall be allocated among the Partners pro rata in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances and after such Capital Account balances have been reduced to zero to the Partners in accordance with the Profit-Sharing Ratios set forth on Schedule IIIB(1). -------- ------- (d) All profits and losses allocated to a Partner shall be credited or charged, as the case may be, to his capital account. The terms "profits", "losses" and "credits" as used in this 18 Agreement shall mean taxable income, gains, losses and credits (and items of income, gains, losses and credits entering into the computation thereof), all as determined for federal income tax purposes using the accounting methods followed by the Partnership. Section 9.2. Distributions Prior to Dissolution. ---------------------------------- (a) All Cash Flow of the Partnership, shall be distributed as follows: First, among the Partners listed in Schedule IIIA up to the amount of the -------- ---- then aggregate pre-tax net income, (as calculated for generally accepted accounting principles) of the Partnership reduced by any distributions under this clause First, and Second, in accordance with the Profit-Sharing Ratios specified on Schedule -------- IIIB(1) hereto, and exclusively among the Partners specified in Schedule - ------- -------- IIIB(1), as in effect from time to time. - ------- (b) All Net Cash Proceeds from Capital Transactions shall be allocated first among the Partners listed in Schedule III(B)(1) in accordance with the -------- --------- Profit-Sharing Ratios set forth therein up to the amount of the Preferred Return reduced by any prior allocation under this clause first and under clause Second of 9.2(a) and then among the Partners listed on Schedule IIIB(2) in accordance -------- ------- with the Profit-Sharing Ratios set forth therein. (c) The respective Profit-Sharing Ratios specified on Schedule III may be -------- --- changed at any time by the unanimous written consent of the Partners then specified on much Schedule who are adversely affected by such change. Such distributions shall be made by the General Partner from time to time, but not less frequently than annually, as they may deem consistent with the operating needs of the Partnership. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2, if, in the opinion of the General Partner, any Net Cash Proceeds from Capital Transactions are required to be used by the Partnership to repay indebtedness of the Partnership, or retained for a contingent future payment of such indebtedness, such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be distributed to the Partners, but rather shall be so used or retained by the Partnership until additional cash shall become available for distribution to the Partners in the manner specified in Article VIII hereof, but on expiration of the contingency, the Net Cash Proceeds so retained shall be distributed to those Partners who, but for such retention, would have received such Net Cash Proceeds. Section 9.3. Distributions Upon Dissolution. ------------------------------ (a) Upon dissolution of the Partnership, unless the Partnership shall be reconstituted as specified in Article VI hereof, the assets of the Partnership shall, first be applied to payment of, or the establishment of adequate reserves for the future payment of, the debts of or obligations of the Partnership, including loans by Partners and Affiliated Persons and accrued interest thereon. The remaining assets of the Partnership (or the proceeds of sales or other dispositions in liquidation of the Partnership assets which the remaining or surviving General Partners have determined to sell or dispose of) shall then be distributed to the Partners in the respective 19 manners set forth in Section 9.2(b); provided, however, that the General Partner -------- ------- shall contribute to the capital of the Partnership an amount equal to (and shall in no event be obligated to contribute more than) the lesser of (i) any negative amount of its Capital Account existing after the distributions and allocations required hereunder or (ii) 1.01% of the Capital Contributions made by the Limited Partners. Any amount so contributed by the General Partner shall be distributed to the Limited Partners in the respective manners set forth in Section 9.2. (b) If any assets of the Partnership are to be distributed in kind, such assets shall be distributed on the basis of the fair market value thereof and any Partner entitled to any interest in such assets shall receive such interest therein as a tenant-in-common with all other Partners so entitled. The fair market value of such assets shall, to the extent necessary, be determined by an independent appraiser to be selected by the General Partner. Section 9.4. Adjustment of Shares of Profits, Losses and Distributions to ------------------------------------------------------------ Insure 1% to the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of - -------------------------------- this Article IX, in no event shall there be allocated or distributed to the General Partner or, the General Partners as a group, as the case may be hereunder less than 1% of the aggregate of the profits, losses, credits and cash distributions to be allocated or distributed to the Partners hereunder (the "One --- Percent Share"). If the amounts of profits, losses or credits allocable or cash - ------------- distributable to the General Partners in connection with any allocation or distribution to the Partners hereunder shall not otherwise equal or exceed the One Percent Share without giving effect to this provision, then all such amounts otherwise allocable and distributable to the Limited Partners hereunder shall be proportionately reduced in order to assure the General Partner of their One Percent Share.
