On September 2, 2003, the Registrant began soliciting the consent of its limited
partners to an amendment (the "Amendment") to the Amended and Restated Limited
Partnership Agreement of the Registrant to extend the term of the Registrant
from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2024. The consent of limited partners who
own more than 50% of all outstanding limited partnership units in the Registrant
("units") was required to approve the Amendment.

expired pursuant to its terms. Limited partners owning a majority of the units
consented to the Amendment.

On September 29, 2003, the general partner of the Registrant executed the
Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 3.5, as the general partner and on
behalf of the limited partners and made the requisite filings with the Secretary
