17.  Special Power of Attorney Relating to Continuance of Partnership:  If the

     each of them, if more than one, irrevocably, recognizing their interest and
     that of the other Partners herein, and intending to create a durable power
     of attorney, as such Partners' true and lawful attorney to execute, swear
     to and file whatever amended Certificates they deem appropriate in the
     circumstances, and to take whatever action may be necessary to continue the
     Partnership business under applicable law.

18.  No person dealing with the Partnership, or its assets, whether as
     mortgagee, assignee, purchaser, lessee, grantee or otherwise, shall be
     required to investigate the authority of any General Partner purporting to
     act on behalf of the Partnership, in selling, assigning, leasing,
     mortgaging, or conveying any Partnership assets, nor shall any such
     assignee, lessee, purchaser, mortgagee, or grantee be required to inquire
     as to whether the approval of the Partners for any such sale, assignment,
     lease, mortgage or transfer has been first obtained.  Such person shall be
     conclusively protected in relying upon a certificate of authority of, or in
     accepting any instrument signed by any General Partner in the name and
     behalf of, the Partnership or the General Partner.

19.  The Partnership shall, to the extent provided below, indemnify a person who
     was, is, or is threatened to be made a named Defendant or Respondent in a
     proceeding because the person is or was a General Partner of the
     Partnership.  The indemnification required by this paragraph shall be
     provided whenever it is determined, as provided below, that the person
     seeking indemnification:

     (1)  Acted in good faith; and

     (2)  Reasonably believed:

          (a)  In the case of conduct in the person's official capacity as a
               General Partner of the Partnership, that the person's conduct was
               in the Partnership's best interest; and
          (b)  In all other cases, that the person's conduct was at least not
               opposed to the Partnership's best interest; and

     (3)  In the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
          believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 
     A determination that the indemnification standards set forth above have
     been met shall be made by special legal counsel selected by the holders of
     a majority in interest of Limited Partners who at the time of the vote are
     not named Defendants or Respondents in the proceeding.  In the event that
     such a majority in interest cannot be obtained, special legal counsel shall
     be selected by a majority in interest of all Limited Partners.

20.  The General Partners shall have the authority to employ such agents,
     employees, managers, accountants, attorneys, consultants and other persons
     necessary or appropriate to carry out the business and affairs of the
     Partnership, including itself and whether or not any such persons so
     employed are Partners or affiliates, and to pay such fees, expenses,
     salaries, wages and other compensation, including incentive fees, to such
     persons as it shall, in its sole discretion, determine, provided that any
                                                             --------         
     payments to the Partners or affiliates shall, unless otherwise specifically
     provided herein, be on arms-length terms.  For all purposes hereof any
     standard fees (i.e., fees similar to the highest fees generally charged by
     such affiliates) paid to an affiliate in connection with the property,
     whether the fees are for management, brokerage or other services rendered
     or goods provided, shall be conclusively presumed to be reasonable arms-
     length fees.

21.  This Agreement may be amended by and only by the General Partner together
     with the consent of the Limited Partner.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the members of said Partnership have executed this
Agreement as of the date first above written, under penalties of perjury.
