Schedule) as a result of such admission without the written consent of the
Partner adversely affected.
6
Nothing in this Section 4.5 shall impair the right of the Partners
specified in Schedule III or in any Other Partnership Schedule to alter the
Profit-Sharing Ratios specified on such Schedule or to enter into additional
Other Partnership Schedules relating to additional Other Partnerships in the
manner specified in Section 9.2 hereof. In addition, nothing in this Section 4.5
shall impair the right of the General Partner to admit Substituted Limited
Partners under Section 7.2 hereof.
Each incoming Limited Partner shall also agree to be bound by the
provisions of this Agreement and shall also agree to accept such other terms and
conditions set forth in writing to him at the time of admission as the General
Partner may reasonably determine.
Upon the admission of any additional Limited Partner, Schedule II shall

Limited Partners, and an amendment to the Certificate, reflecting such

counterpart of this Agreement in such manner as the General Partner shall
determine, and, by so signing, such Limited Partner shall be deemed to have
adopted and to have agreed to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement,
provided, however, that no such Limited Partner Signature Page or counterpart of

this Agreement shall be binding until it has been signed by one or more General
Partners.
ARTICLE V
RIGHTS, POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE GENERAL PARTNER
Section 5.1. Business.
--------
A. The General Partner shall have the exclusive right to manage the
business of the Partnership. Except as specifically provided herein, the General
Partner shall have the right to perform all actions necessary, convenient or
incidental to the accomplishment of the purposes and authorized acts of the
Partnership, as specified in Sections 2.3 and 2.4, respectively, and shall
possess and may enjoy and exercise all the rights and powers of a general
partner as provided in the Uniform Act. In particular, and without limitation on
the rights and powers of the General Partner set forth elsewhere in this
Agreement, the General Partner shall have the right to set aside from the cash
receipts of the Partnership reasonable reserves to provide for working capital
needs, funds for improvements or replacements or for other contingencies of the
Partnership.
B. No Limited Partner (except one who may also be a General Partner)
shall participate in or have any control over the Partnership business, except
as required by law. The Limited Partners hereby consent to the exercise by the
General Partners of powers conferred by this Agreement. No Limited Partner
(except one who may also be a General Partner) shall have any authority or right
to act for or bind the Partnership. Without limitation of the authority of the
General Partners, they are specifically authorized to employ and engage, on
behalf of the Partnership, Affiliated Persons to perform services for, or
furnish goods to, the Partnership;
7
provided, however, that any payment for services or goods provided to the
- -------- -------
Partnership shall not exceed an amount which would have been payable if the
transaction were at arms-length.
C. To assist them in the performance of their duties hereunder, the
General Partner may appoint one or more officers of the Partnership including,
without limitation, a president, one or more executive vice presidents, one or
more other vice presidents, a treasurer, one or more assistant treasurers, a
controller, a secretary, and one or more assistant secretaries. 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 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.
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
8
Person dealing with the Partnership or the General Partners 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
(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; Compensation. The General Partner shall
------------------------------
devote to the affairs of the Partnership such time as they may deem necessary
for the proper performance of their duties and shall be paid such compensation
as is determined from time to time to be reasonable for such services, Provided
--------
that such compensation shall not exceed the amount which would be payable if the
payments were at arms-length. The General Partner shall also be entitled to
charge the Partnership, or to be reimbursed by the Partnership, for all expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with the Partnership business.
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 him within the scope of the
authority conferred by this Agreement, for his failure or refusal to perform any
acts except those expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, or for his
performance or omission to perform any acts on advice of the Accountants or
legal counsel for the Partnership, except in case of willful misconduct.
Furthermore, with respect to any decisions made by the General Partner in
connection with the Partnership's role as a general partner of an Other
Partnership, all of the Partners hereby acknowledge and agree that the fiduciary
obligation owed by the Partnership to such Other Partnership or the partners
thereof shall be given priority over any such obligation owed by the General
Partner to the Partnership or its Partners should any conflict arise with
respect to any act to be performed (or to be omitted) on behalf of any such
Other Partnership. The Partnership shall indemnify and save harmless each
General Partner from any expenses, loss or damage incurred by him by reason of
(i) any act performed by him within the scope of the authority conferred upon
him by this Agreement unless such act constitutes willful misconduct, or (ii)
his failure or refusal to perform any acts except those expressly required by
the terms of this Agreement, or (iii) his 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.
9
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. Furthermore, as set
forth in Sections 2.4, 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. Except as is specifically set forth in
those Sections (and the Schedules to this Agreement referred to therein), no
Partner shall have any right to participate either directly or indirectly in any
income or distributions derived from any such Other Partnership.
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 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, 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 will 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
10
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 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 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 Subsection A
preceding 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.
11
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 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. If 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, III, and, to the extent
appropriate, any Other Partnership Schedules, 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.
12
ARTICLE VII
TRANSFERABILITY OF LIMITED PARTNER INTERESTS
Section 7.1. Restrictions on Transfer. Except as otherwise provided in
------------------------
this Article VII or as required by law, a 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. Prior to any such disposition, the Partnership, or its nominee,
shall have the right (exercisable by the General Partner or a Person or Persons
designated by them) to acquire the interest in question at a price and upon
terms no less favorable than those which the proposed transferor would receive
from such disposition. The Partnership's, or its nominee's, right to acquire the
interest in question shall not apply to the transfer or assignment (in trust or
otherwise) by a Limited Partner of all or any part of his interest in the
Partnership:
(1) to or for the benefit of himself, his Immediate Family,
another Partner, a corporation all of the capital stock of which is
owned by one or more of the foregoing Persons, or any combination of
the foregoing, or
(2) to the legal representatives of an incapacitated or
deceased Limited Partner, or by such a legal representative to
accomplish any transfer or assignment permitted by the foregoing
subparagraph (1), or
(3) to the beneficiaries of any trust which is a Limited
Partner.
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.
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 the General Partner;
and if such an instrument is not so filed, the Partnership need not recognize
any such assignment for any purpose.
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.
13
Section 7.2. Substituted Limited Partners.
----------------------------
A. Except as otherwise provided in this Article VII, a Limited Partner
shall have the right to substitute an assignee as a Limited Partner in his
place.
B. Any such assignee shall become a Substituted Limited Partner upon
the filing of an amendment to the Certificate indicating such substitution,
which amendment shall be filed promptly by the General Partner in accordance
with this Section 7.2.
C. 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 and any Other
Partnership Schedule, 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, and an amendment to the Certificate
reflecting such admission shall be filed in accordance with the Uniform Act.
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.
D. 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 member of
a Limited Partner's Immediate Family by reason of death) or to an incompetent.
B. The General Partner may, in addition to any other requirement they
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.
14
ARTICLE VIII
BORROWINGS AND LOANS
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.
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 a reasonable commercial rate.
All loans to the Partnership shall be repayable out of any available
funds of the Partnership, including but not limited to Cash Flow and Net Cash
Proceeds of Capital Transactions. However, if any such loan shall be repaid out
of Net Cash Proceeds of Capital Transactions, no Partner shall thereafter be
entitled to receive any distribution of Cash Flow or Net Cash Proceeds of
Capital Transactions until the Partners who would otherwise have been entitled
to receive the Net Cash Proceeds from which such loan was repaid shall have
first received from the Partnership a distribution equal to the amount of such
repayment.
ARTICLE IX
PROFITS, LOSSES AND CREDITS; DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 9.1. Profits, Losses and Credits. All profits and losses of the
---------------------------
Partnership, and all credits of the Partnership, shall be allocated for all
purposes (including federal and state income tax purposes) in accordance with
the General Profit-Sharing Ratios set forth in Schedule III hereto, and
exclusively among the Partners specified in Schedule III, as in effect from time
to time, except that all profits, losses or credits of the Partnership arising
as a result of a Capital Transaction respecting an Other Partnership for which
there is then in effect an Other Partnership Schedule shall be allocated
exclusively among the Partners specified on such Schedule in accordance with the
Special Profit-Sharing Ratios reflected on such Schedule. 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
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 and all Net Cash Proceeds from Capital Transactions of
the Partnership, exclusive of Net Cash Proceeds from Capital Transactions
respecting an Other Partnership for which there is then in effect an Other
Partnership Schedule, shall be distributed in
15
accordance with the General Profit-Sharing Ratios specified on Schedule III
hereto, and exclusively among the Partners specified in Schedule III, as in
effect from time to time. The respective General Profit-Sharing Ratios specified
on Schedule III may be changed at any time by the unanimous written consent of
the Partners then specified on such 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.
B. All Net Cash Proceeds from Capital Transactions respecting an Other
Partnership for which there is then in effect an Other Partnership Schedule
shall be distributed exclusively among the Partners specified on such Schedule
in accordance with the Special Profit-Sharing Ratios specified on such Schedule,
as in effect from time to time. Such distributions shall be made by the General
Partners as soon as practicable following receipt by the Partnership of such Net
Cash Proceeds.
C. The respective Special Profit-Sharing Ratios specified on any Other
Partnership Schedule may be changed at any time by the unanimous written consent
of the Partners then specified on such Schedule who are adversely affected by
such change. In addition, at the sole discretion of the General Partner, the
Partnership may establish at any time an additional Other Partnership Schedule
respecting an Other Partnership for which there is not then in effect an Other
Partnership Schedule, provided that no such additional Other Partnership
Schedule shall become effective or otherwise be binding upon the Partnership
until it has been signed by at least one of the General Partners. In no event
shall any Partner be deemed to have any right to be included in any Other
Partnership Schedule or to be allocated any Special Profit-Sharing Ratio in
respect of any Other Partnership, except (i) with respect to a Partnership for
which there is then in effect an Other Partnership Schedule, as specified on
such Schedule or as otherwise may be agreed by the unanimous written consent of
the Partners who are then specified on such Schedule and who are adversely
affected by such change, or (ii) with respect to a Partnership for which there
is not then in effect an Other Partnership Schedule, as may be specified in an
Other Partnership Schedule thereupon established for such Partnership at the
sole discretion of the General Partner.
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.
Section 9.3. Distributions Upon Dissolution. 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
16
remaining or surviving General Partners have determined to sell or dispose of)
shall then be distributed to the Partners up to the positive balance, if any, in
their respective capital accounts and any excess in the respective manners set
forth in Section 9.2.
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.
ARTICLE X
BOOKS AND RECORDS; ACCOUNTING; TAX ELECTIONS
Section 10.1. BOOKS AND RECORDS. The General Partner shall keep or
-----------------
cause to be kept complete and accurate books and records of the Partnership in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which books and
records shall be maintained and be available at the principal office of the
Partnership for examination by any Partner, or his duly authorized
representatives, at any and all reasonable times. The Partnership may maintain
such other books and records and may provide such financial or other statements
as the General Partner deems advisable.
The General Partner shall maintain at the Partnership's principal
office in Massachusetts the following documents: (i) a current list of the full
name and last known business address of each Partner set forth in alphabetical
order, (ii) a copy of the Certificate and all amendments thereto, together with
executed copies of any powers of attorney pursuant to which the Certificate or
any such amendment has been executed, (iii) copies of the Partnership's federal,
state and local income tax returns and reports, if any, for the three most
recent years, and (iv) copies of this Agreement as then in effect and of any
financial statements of the Partnership for the three most recent years. Such
documents are subject to inspection and copying at the reasonable request, and
at the expense, of any Partner during ordinary business hours. In addition, the
Partnership will furnish a list of the names and addresses of all Limited
Partners, together with their respective Capital Contributions, to any Limited
Partner who makes a written request therefor to the Partnership. Except to the
extent requested by any Limited Partner, the General Partner shall
17
have no obligation to deliver or mail a copy of the Partnership's Certificate or
any amendment thereto to the Limited Partners. Each Limited Partner shall also
have the right to obtain from the General Partner from time to time upon
reasonable demand: (i) true and full information regarding the status of the
business and financial condition of the Partnership, (ii) promptly after
becoming available, a copy of the Partnership's federal, state and local income
tax returns for each year, and (iii) other information regarding the affairs of
the Partnership as is just and reasonable.
Section 10.2. BANK ACCOUNTS. The bank accounts of the Partnership shall
-------------
be maintained in such banking institutions as the General Partner shall
determine, and withdrawals shall be made therefrom on such signature or
signatures as the General Partner shall determine.
Section 10.3. ACCOUNTANTS. The Accountants for the Partnership shall
-----------
be such firm of public or certified public accountants as shall be engaged by
the General Partner from time to time.
Section 10.4. REPORTS TO PARTNERS. For each Limited Partner who shall
-------------------
be entitled to share in the Partnership's income, losses or credits during any
fiscal year (based upon such Partner's interest as reflected in Schedule III or
in any applicable Other Partnership Schedule), the General Partner shall cause
to be prepared and sent to such Limited Partner a statement indicating the share
of such Limited Partner of the net income, net loss, depreciation recapture,
gain, loss and other relevant items of the Partnership sufficient to enable such
Limited Partner to prepare his own respective federal and state tax return for
the calendar year in which such fiscal year of the Partnership was completed.
Such statement shall be delivered within 90 days after the close of each such
calendar year, provided that no cause of action shall accrue to any Partner
under this Section 10.4 if the General Partner shall have acted in good faith in
attempting to meet their obligations under this Section.
Section 10.5. TAX ELECTIONS; SPECIAL BASIS ADJUSTMENTS. The General
----------------------------------------
Partner shall, in their reasonable discretion, make all tax elections on behalf
of the Partnership. In the event of a transfer of all or any part of the
interest of any Partner for an amount in excess of the adjusted basis for such
interest for federal income tax purposes, the Partnership may elect, pursuant to
Section 754 of the Code (or corresponding provisions of succeeding law), to
adjust the basis of the Partnership property. Such adjustment shall be made only
if the General Partner, in its discretion, determine such election should be
made. Notwithstanding anything contained in Article IX of this Agreement, any
adjustments made pursuant to Section 754 shall affect only the successor in
interest to the transferring Partner. Each Partner will furnish the Partnership
with all information necessary to give effect to such election.
Section 10.6. MAINTENANCE OF BOOKS FOR ACCOUNTING AND TAX PURPOSES;
-----------------------------------------------------
FISCAL YEARS. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article X, the books
- ------------
of the Partnership shall be kept on such basis as the General Partner may
determine. In connection therewith, the General Partner shall select such fiscal
year(s) for accounting and tax purposes as they deem appropriate.
18
ARTICLE XI
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 11.1. APPOINTMENT OF GENERAL PARTNER AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
--------------------------------------------------
Without limiting the effect of provisions elsewhere in this Agreement appointing
the General Partner as attorney-in-fact for all those who become Limited
Partners (including Substituted or additional Limited Partners) under this
Agreement in connection with the doing of certain acts and the filing of certain
papers, each Limited Partner (including a Substituted or additional Limited
Partner) hereby severally irrevocably constitutes, and empowers to act alone,
the General Partner as his attorney-in-fact with authority to execute,
acknowledge and swear to all instruments and file all documents requisite to
carry out the intention and purpose of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, all amendments to this Agreement and the Schedules hereto effected
in accordance with this Agreement, the Certificate and all amendments thereto
effected in accordance herewith, and all business certificates and other
certificates and amendments thereto to be executed and/or filed from time to
time in accordance with applicable laws. Without limitation of the foregoing,
each of the General Partner is hereby specifically authorized as attorney-in-
fact for the Limited Partners to execute and file the Certificate and any
amendment thereto necessary or appropriate to reflect the admission of any
signatory hereto as a Limited Partner, or any addition or substitution of other
Limited Partners, or to reflect the Capital Contribution made by any signatory
hereto or by any other Limited Partner.
The foregoing appointment shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an
interest in recognition of the fact that each of the Partners under this
Agreement will be relying upon the power of the General Partner to act as
contemplated by this Agreement in such filing and other action by them on behalf
of the Partnership. The foregoing power of attorney shall survive the assignment
by any Limited Partner of the whole or any part of his interest hereunder.
Each of the Limited Partners is aware that the terms of this Agreement
permit certain amendments of this Agreement, the Schedules hereto and the
Certificate to be effected and certain other actions to be taken or omitted by,
or with respect to, the Partnership, in each case with the approval of less than
all the Limited Partners if either (i) such amendment or action will have an
adverse effect upon less than all of the Limited Partners, or (ii) the Consent
of the Limited Partners (as herein defined) shall have been given in favor of
such action. If, as, and when:
(i) such an amendment is proposed or such an action is proposed
to be taken or omitted by, or with respect to, the Partnership which
requires, under the terms of this Agreement, either (a) consent only of
the Limited Partners who are adversely affected thereby, or (b) the
Consent of the Limited Partners;
(ii) either (a) the consent of those Limited Partners who would
be adversely affected by such amendment or action or (b) the Consent of
the Limited Partners, as appropriate, has been given in the manner
contemplated by this Agreement; and
19
(iii) a Limited Partner has failed or refused to consent to such
amendment or action (hereinafter referred to as a "non-consenting
Limited Partner"), then each non-consenting Limited Partner agrees that
each attorney-in-fact specified above, with full power of substitution,
is hereby authorized and empowered to execute, acknowledge, make, swear
to, verify, deliver, record, file and/or publish, for and in behalf of
such non-consenting Limited Partner, and in his name, place and stead,
any and all instruments and documents which may be necessary or
appropriate under the Uniform Act and any and all other applicable laws
and regulations to permit such amendment to be lawfully made or action
lawfully taken or omitted. Each consenting and non-consenting Limited
Partner is fully aware that he and each other Limited Partner have
executed this special power of attorney and that each Limited Partner
will rely on the effectiveness of such powers with a view to the
orderly administration of the Partnership's affairs.
Section 11.2. NOTICES. Any and all notices called for under this
-------
Agreement shall be deemed adequately given only if in writing and sent by first
class mail, postage prepaid, to the party or parties for whom such notices are
intended.
All such notices in order to be effective shall be addressed to the
last address of record on the Partnership books when given by the General
Partner and intended for the Limited Partner; and to the address of the
Partnership when given by the Limited Partner and intended for the General
Partner.
Section 11.3. WORD MEANINGS. The words such as "herein", "hereinafter",
-------------
"thereof" and "hereunder" refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a
subdivision in which such words appear unless the context otherwise requires.
The singular shall include the plural and the masculine gender shall include the
feminine and neutre, and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires.
Section 11.4. OTHER AGREEMENTS. This Agreement shall govern exclusively
----------------
the affairs of the Partnership and the Partners as to the matters herein
described, but shall not be deemed to affect any other agreement between any
General or Limited Partner and the Partnership or any other Partner respecting
matters not herein described.
Section 11.5. BINDING EFFECT. The covenants and agreements contained
--------------
herein shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefits of, the heirs, legal
representatives, successors and assigns of the respective parties hereto. Except
to the extent required by the Uniform Act and for fees, rights to reimbursement,
and other compensation provided for hereunder as such, none of the provisions of
this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or be enforceable by any creditor of
the Partnership.
Section 11.6. APPLICABLE LAW; SUPREMACY OF UNIFORM ACT. This Agreement
----------------------------------------
shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth
of Massachusetts. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no
action may be taken under this Agreement unless such action is taken in
compliance with the provisions of the Uniform Act.
20
Section 11.7. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in several
------------
counterparts (including separate signature pages) and all so executed shall
constitute one agreement binding on all parties hereto, notwithstanding that all
parties have not signed the same counterpart or that any such counterpart does
not have attached copies of all Schedules and signature pages hereto as then in
effect. No counterpart of this Agreement or of any such Schedule or signature
page shall be binding unless signed by one or more of the General Partners. The
General Partners shall maintain at the principal office of the Partnership a
counterpart of this Agreement (including separate signature pages) as executed
by all Partners and to which shall be attached copies of all Schedules hereto as
then in effect, which counterpart shall be available for inspection by any
Partner.
Section 11.8. SEPARABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Each provision of this
--------------------------
Agreement shall be considered separable and (i) if for any reason any provision
or provisions herein are determined to be invalid and contrary to any existing
or future law, such invalidity shall not impair the operation of or affect those
portions of this Agreement which are valid, or (ii) if for any reason any
provision or provisions herein would cause the Limited Partners who are not also
specifically designated herein as General Partners to be bound by the
obligations of the Partnership as General Partners under the laws of The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts as the same may now or hereafter exist, such
provision or provisions shall be deemed void and of no effect.
Section 11.9. WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS. The Partners, each of whom have
------------------------
been represented by independent counsel, and each of whom are experienced and
knowledgeable in the real estate business, agree that substantial damage would
be done to the goodwill and reputation of the Partnership and the Partners as a
result of any litigation involving the Partnership. Therefore, it is agreed
that, except as hereinafter provided, no proceeding shall be brought by a
Partner, former Partner or any other Person claiming by, through or under any of
the same to seek a dissolution of the Partnership based on any claim that the
provisions of this Agreement do not accurately reflect the agreement of the
parties hereto. This section shall be effective as a conclusive bar to any such
proceeding; but this section shall not be a bar to any proceeding seeking to
enforce this Agreement or any obligation or duty hereby created.
Section 11.10. AMENDMENTS. This Agreement may be amended or modified by
----------
the General Partner with the Consent of the Limited Partners, provided, however,
-------- -------
that (i) no amendment shall increase the liability or obligations of any Partner
without the written consent of such Partner, (ii) except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, no amendment shall reduce any Partner's rights to
share in the Partnership's Cash Flow, Net Cash Proceeds, or profits, losses and
credits without the written consent of such Partner, and (iii) the written
consent of all Partners must be obtained for any amendment which would amend
this Section 11.10.
Section 11.11. EFFECTIVE DATE. Notwithstanding the separate dates of
--------------
execution hereof, all parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall become
effective as of the date first set forth above. In the event Schedule III or any
Other Partnership Schedule shall hereafter be amended as provided herein to
change any Profit-Sharing Ratio specified thereon, the effective date of such
change shall be as specified on such Schedule as amended.
