deal with any Person (including any General Partner or any Affiliate of a
General Partner).

or its assets, whether as mortgagee, assignee, purchaser, lessee, grantee or
otherwise, shall be required to investigate the authority of the General
Partners, or any General Partner purporting to act in behalf of the other
General Partners, in selling, assigning, leasing, mortgaging, conveying or
otherwise dealing with any Partnership Property or other assets or any part
thereof, nor shall any such assignee, lessee, purchaser, mortgagee, grantee or
other Person entering into a contract with the Partnership be required to
inquire as to whether the approval of the Partners for any such sale,
assignment, lease, mortgage, transfer or other transaction has been first
obtained. Any such Person shall be conclusively protected in relying upon a
certificate of authority or any other material fact signed by any General
Partner, or in accepting any instrument signed by any General Partner in the
name and behalf of the Partnership or the General Partners.
A-7
6.2 Limitations on the Exercise of Powers of General Partners. The
General Partners shall have no power to take any action prohibited by this
Agreement or by the Massachusetts Uniform limited Partnership Act. Furthermore,
in their administration of the Partnership's affairs, the General Partners shall
be subject to the following specific limitations:
(a) Investment Objectives and Policies. The Partnership's Investment in
Properties shall not be less than eighty percent (80%) of the gross proceeds of
the Partnership's offering of Units made pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(3) hereof.
The Properties to be acquired by the Partnership shall consist primarily of
apartment complexes, but may include other types of properties such as office
buildings or shopping centers. All of the Properties shall be located in the
United States. The Partnership shall not invest in Properties under construction
or to be constructed, except for expansion or improvement of existing
Properties. The Partnership may, however, commit to purchase properties upon
their physical completion and at pre-agreed prices or pricing formulas. The
Partnership shall not invest in single family residential homes, low income
housing or other properties subject to government housing assistance payments,
secondary homes, resort or recreational properties, hotels, nursing homes,
gaming facilities, mobile home parks or property subject to sale-leaseback
transactions involving single tenants. No unimproved or non-income producing
property shall be acquired where the aggregate Purchase Price for all such
unimproved or non-income producing properties would exceed 10% of the gross
proceeds of the offering of Units made pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(3) hereof, and
unimproved or non-income producing property shall not be acquired except in
amounts and upon terms which can be financed by the net proceeds of the
Partnership's offering of Units or by cash flow from operations. On an interim
basis, the Partnership may invest its funds either in (i) United States
Government securities, other United States Government guaranteed money
instruments, certificates of deposit of banks located in the United States
having total assets in excess of $100 million, bank repurchase agreements
collateralized by securities of the United States Government or governmental
agencies, bankers' acceptances, and similar money market investments, or (ii)
shares of public investment companies registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission whose assets exceed $50,000,000 and are invested in the
foregoing types of investments and held by an independent custodian. The
Partnership shall not invest in mortgages, trust deeds or similar obligations,
except that the Partnership may advance a portion of the Purchase Price of a
Property to the seller in the form of a loan, and except that second mortgages
or similar obligations may be taken back from purchasers of Properties in
connection with the sale thereof by the Partnership. The aggregate Leverage on
the Partnership Properties incurred in connection with the acquisition of
Properties shall not be less than 60% nor more than 80% of the Purchase Price of
all Properties determined on a combined basis. The Partnership shall not redeem
or repurchase Units and shall not underwrite the securities of other issuers.
The General Partners shall use their best efforts to assure that the Partnership
shall not be deemed an investment company as such term is defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940.
A-8
(b) Sales and Leases of Properties from or to the General Partners and
their Affiliates. The Partnership shall not purchase, lease or acquire any
Property from any General Partner or any Affiliate of any General Partner or any
Person in which any General Partner or Affiliate has a material interest
including, without limitation, any partnership of which any General Partner or
Affiliate of a General Partner is a partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
General Partners or their Affiliates may purchase Property in their own name,
and assume loans in connection therewith and temporarily hold title thereto for
the purpose of facilitating the acquisition of such Property or the borrowing of
money or obtaining of financing for the Partnership, or completion of
construction of the Property, or any other purpose related to the business of
the Partnership, provided that (i) such Property is purchased by the Partnership
for a Purchase Price (and related cash investment) no greater than the Purchase
Price (and related cash investment) in such Property (including, without
limitation, equity payments, financing and closing costs) made or agreed to be
made by the General Partners or their Affiliates, (ii) there is no difference in
interest rates of the loans secured by the Property at the time acquired by the
General Partners or their Affiliates and the time acquired by the Partnership,
and (iii) no other payment directly or indirectly arising out of such
transaction is received by, nor any other benefit conferred upon, any General
Partner or Affiliate thereof apart from compensation otherwise permitted by this
Agreement. In the event the Partnership is not successful in selling sufficient
Units of Investor Limited Partnership Interests to permit the Partnership to
make any payments required in connection with obligations or indebtedness
incurred by the Partnership in connection with the acquisition of any Property,
the Partnership may sell such Property to the General Partners or any Affiliate
of the General Partners for a Purchase Price (and related cash investment as
described above) not less than the total Purchase Price (and related cash
investment) paid by the Partnership for such Property. The General Partners or
their Affiliates may lease office or other space in any Property owned by the
Partnership; provided, however, that any such lease (i) shall be on terms and
conditions no less favorable to the Partnership than those which would have been
determined by arm's-length negotiations with a non-affiliated person for
comparable space in the area where the Property is located, which determination
may be made on the basis of, and shall take into account, the terms, conditions
and rentals agreed to by any other tenants of the Property, (ii) shall be
terminable on 60 days' prior written notice by the Partnership without penalty,
and (iii) shall provide that any rentals from subleases relating thereto which
are in excess of the rentals from such lease shall be paid to the Partnership
and, provided further, that no more than 15% of the office space of the
Partnership Properties shall be leased to the General Partners or their
Affiliates. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Partnership shall not sell
or lease arty Property to any General Partner or any Affiliate of a General
Partner.
(c) Loans to or from the General Partners and their Affiliates. No
loans may be made by the Partnership to any General Partner or any Affiliate of
a General Partner. A General Partner or any Affiliate of a General Partner may
loan funds to the Partnership but only with interest rates and other finance
charges and fees not in excess of the amounts that are charged by unrelated
banks on comparable loans for the same
A-9
purpose in the locality of the Property in connection with which the loan was
made, and in no event shall the annual interest rate charged on any such loan
exceed by more than 2% the then prime rate of such an unrelated local bank. In
addition, (i) to the extent that the General Partners or their Affiliates shall
themselves borrow the funds which they loan to the Partnership, the Interest
rates and other finance charges charged to the Partnership shall not exceed the
corresponding amounts paid by the General Partners or their Affiliates, and (ii)
neither any General Partner nor any Affiliate of a General Partner shall make
loans to the Partnership with a prepayment charge or penalty which is evidenced
or secured by either a first or junior or all-inclusive note or mortgage except
to the extent that such prepayment charge or penalty is attributable to an
underlying encumbrance. Neither any General Partner or Affiliate of a General
Partner shall provide permanent financing for the Partnership, and all payments
of principal and interest on any financing provided by the General Partners or
any Affiliate of a General Partner shall be due and payable within 12 months
after the date of the loan. In the event the Partnership utilizes any
all-inclusive (or "wrap-around") note issued by the Partnership to the General
Partners or an Affiliate thereof, said note shall provide that the Partnership
shall receive credit on its obligation under said note for payments made by the
Partnership directly on the underlying encumbrance and that a bank, escrow
company or other paying agent shall collect payments (other than amounts not to
be applied to the underlying encumbrance) on the all-inclusive note and make
disbursements therefrom to the holder of the underlying encumbrance prior to
making any disbursement to the holder of the all-inclusive note or, in the
alternative, all payments on the all-inclusive note and underlying notes shall
be made directly by the Partnership. In addition, no General Partner or
Affiliate of a General Partner shall receive interest on the amount of the
underlying encumbrance included in any all-inclusive note in excess of that
payable to the lender on that underlying encumbrance.
(d) Exchange of Interests for Properties. The Partnership shall not
acquire any Property in exchange for Interests in the Partnership.
(e) Joint Venture Investments. The Partnership shall not make
investments in the general or limited partnership interests of any other
program, or enter into any joint venture or partnership which owns or operates a
particular Property except for (i) any such partnership or venture entered into
to facilitate the holding of title to any Property and in which the Partnership
holds all or substantially all of the beneficial interest, or (ii) a partnership
or joint venture to acquire and hold a Property entered into with a partnership
subsequently sponsored by the General Partners or their Affiliates if such other
partnership has substantially identical investment objectives and management
compensation provisions to those of the Partnership and the Investments by the
Partnership and such other partnership are on substantially the same terms and
conditions, except as result from varying percentage interests in the joint
venture. The Partnership shall acquire a controlling interest in any such
partnership or venture, and in no event shall any duplicate property management
or other fees be paid by the Partnership as a result thereof. For purposes
hereof, the term "controlling interest" shall mean an interest of not less than
50% in the capital and profits of the joint venture and
A-10
the inclusion of appropriate provisions in the joint venture agreement or
related documents giving the Partnership the joint right to make basic
management decisions concerning the sale, leasing, refinancing or expansion of
the Property. The Partnership may not act indirectly through any such joint
venture if the Partnership would be prohibited from doing so directly by reason
of restrictions in this Agreement. In the event of a proposed sale of the
Property initiated by either joint venture partner, the Partnership must have a
right of first refusal to purchase the other party's interest. Finally, in no
event shall the Partnership's equity investment in all such joint ventures
exceed 50% of the Partnership's total equity investment in all of its
Properties.
(f) Property Appraisals. No Property shall be acquired at a Purchase
Price to the Partnership in excess of its value as determined by an appraisal
prepared by a competent independent appraiser, which appraisals shall be
maintained in the records of the Partnership for not less than five years after
the date of acquisition and which shall be available for inspection and
duplication by any Partner or his representative at his cost.
6.3 Liability for Acts or Omissions and Indemnification. No General
Partner or Affiliate of a General Partner shall be liable, responsible or
accountable in damages to any of the Partners or the Partnership for any act or
omission of any General Partner in good faith on behalf of the Partnership and
in a manner reasonably believed by such General Partner to be within the scope
of the authority granted to the General Partners by this Agreement and in the
best interests of the Partnership, except for acts or omissions constituting
negligence, misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty. The General Partners and
their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to indemnity from the Partnership
for any loss, damage, or claim by reason of any act or omission performed or
omitted by the General Partners in good faith on behalf of the Partnership and
in a manner reasonably believed by the General Partners to be within the scope
of the authority granted to the General Partners by this Agreement and in the
best interests of the Partnership, except that they shall not be entitled to be
indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of
negligence, misconduct, or breach of fiduciary duty. Any indemnity under this
Section shall be provided out of and to the extent of Partnership assets only,
and no Partner shall have or incur any personal liability on account thereof. In
no event shall the Partnership assume the cost of any portion of liability
insurance which would insure the General Partners for any liability as to which
the General Partners are prohibited from being indemnified by the Partnership.
6.4 Compensation of General Partners. The General Partners shall not,
in their capacities as General Partners, receive any salary, fees, profits or
distributions except:
(a) The General Partners shall be entitled to receive the allocations
and distributions which are provided under Section 8 hereof in respect of their
General Partnership Interests.
A-11
(b) Neither the General Partners nor their Affiliates shall receive any
Acquisition Fees in connection with the acquisition of Partnership Properties,
and the Partnership shall not acquire any Property if the seller of such
Property or any other Person is paying any real estate brokerage commission or
other Acquisition Fees to any Person in connection with such transaction. In no
event shall the aggregate of the Acquisition Expenses paid by the Partnership in
connection with the acquisition of Partnership Properties exceed one percent
(1%) of gross proceeds of the Partnership's offering of Units made pursuant to
Section 6.1(b)(3) hereof. Subject to the foregoing limitations and to the
additional limitations set forth in Section 12.4 hereof, the General Partners
and their Affiliates shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for
organizational and offering expenses, Acquisition Expenses respecting the
acquisition of Partnership Properties, and other expenses incurred by them in
connection with the organization and operation of the Partnership.
(c) Upon the sale of any Property, the General Partners shall receive
for their actual services in connection with such sale a brokerage fee in an
amount equal to three percent (3%) of the contract sales price of the Property,
provided that in no event shall (1) any such brokerage fee exceed 50% of the
competitive real estate commission in the area where the Property sold is
located and, together with any other brokerage fees payable to or by any other
Person, exceed 6% of the contract price for the sale of such Property, and (2)
any such brokerage fee be paid until after all Investor Limited Partners shall
first have received a return of their total Invested Capital and any previously
unpaid Cumulative Return on Investment as determined in accordance with Section
8.3(a) Second and Section 8.3(b) Second hereof. If and when such a return has
been achieved, any and all brokerage fees previously earned by the General
Partners shall be paid by the Partnership to the General Partners prior to any
other distributions to the Partners. If the General Partners participate with an
independent broker on resale, the aforesaid subordination requirement shall
apply only to the commission earned by the General Partners.
6.5 Other Interests of the General Partners and their Affiliates. Any
General Partner and any Affiliate of a General Partner may engage in or possess
an interest in other business ventures (unconnected with the Partnership) of
every kind and description, independently or with others including, but not
limited to, serving as general partner of other partnerships and participating
in the real estate business in all of its phases, which shall include, without
limitation, ownership, operation, financing, construction, management,
syndication and development of real property and which may include properties
competitive with any Property. The General Partners will devote such time to the
affairs of the Partnership and each other such partnership as they, within their
sole discretion, deem necessary for the proper performance of their duties.
Neither the Partnership nor the Limited Partners (except for the General
Partners and their Affiliates) shall have any rights in and to such independent
ventures or the income or profits therefrom by reason of the General Partners'
position with the Partnership. Neither the General Partners nor any Affiliate of
any General Partner shall be obligated to present any particular investment
opportunity to the Partnership even if such opportunity is of
A-12
a character which, if presented to the Partnership, could be taken by the
Partnership, and each of the General Partners and their Affiliates shall have
the right to take for its own account (individually or otherwise) or to
recommend to others any such particular investment opportunity. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, while the Partnership has available uncommitted funds to invest
in additional Properties (other than funds of the Partnership which became
available because of a Capital Transaction or because of the failure to close on
a property acquisition originally allocated to the Partnership), the General
Partners shall not commit any real property for investment to their own account
or to any non-specified real estate partnership subsequently sponsored by the
General Partners or their Affiliates unless the General Partners determine that
such property would not be a suitable investment for the Partnership or that the
Partnership then has insufficient funds to make such investment. The General
Partners shall make such determination on the basis of the investment policies
and objectives set forth in Section 6.2(a) hereof. Subject to the other
provisions of this Agreement, the Partnership may employ or transact business
with any Person, notwithstanding the fact that any Partner or any of his
Affiliates may have (or have had) an interest in or connection with such Person,
and neither the Partnership nor the other Partners shall have any rights by
virtue of this Agreement in or to any income or profits derived therefrom.
6.6 Other Transactions Involving the General Partners and their
Affiliates. Except as specifically permitted by this Agreement, the General
Partners are prohibited from entering into any agreements, contracts or
arrangements on behalf of the Partnership with any General Partner or any
Affiliate of any General Partner. Such prohibition shall include, without
limitation, the following: (a) neither a General Partner nor any such Affiliate
shall be given an exclusive right to sell or exclusive employment to sell
Property for the Partnership; (b) neither any General Partner nor any such
Affiliate shall receive directly or indirectly a commission or fee (except as
permitted by Section 6.4 hereof) in connection with the reinvestment of the
proceeds of the sale, exchange or refinancing of any Property; and (c) neither
any General Partner nor any such Affiliate shall enter into an agreement or
contract with the Partnership for the development of any Property or the
construction of improvements on any Property. In addition, in connection with
any property management or other agreement entered into by the Partnership with
any General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partners, no rebates or
"give-ups" may be received by a General Partner or any such Affiliate, nor may
the General Partner or any such Affiliate participate in any reciprocal business
arrangements which would have the effect of circumventing any of the provisions
of this Agreement.
Section 7. Limited Partners.
7.1 Classes of Limited Partners. There shall be two classes of Limited
Partnership Interests, namely, (a) Investor Limited Partnership Interests which
shall be acquired and held by the Investor Limited Partners, and (b) Original
Limited Partnership Interests which have been acquired and shall be held by the
Original Limited Partner. Subject to the provisions of Section 9 of this
Agreement, a Withdrawn General Partner,
A-13
or his estate or legal representatives, may also be treated as a Limited Partner
(but not as an Investor or Original Limited Partner) in respect of any Interest
formerly held as a General Partner in the manner specified in Section 9.3(b)
hereof.
7.2 Requirements for Admission as an Investor Limited Partner. Each
Person desiring to become an Investor Limited Partner, except for an assignee
desiring to be admitted as a Substitute Limited Partner in accordance with
Section 10 hereof, shall execute and deliver to the General Partners a
subscription agreement and such other documents as shall be deemed appropriate
by the General Partners. Under such subscription agreement and other documents,
such subscriber shall, subject to acceptance of his subscription by the General
Partners, execute and agree to be bound by this Agreement. If the General
Partner shall accept such subscription, and if, in connection with the offering
of Units made pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(3) hereof, subscriptions are received
and accepted respecting not less than $4,000,000 of Units (excluding Units
subscribed for by the General Partners and their Affiliates and by residents of
Texas), the subscribers whose subscriptions are accepted shall be admitted as
Investor Limited Partners in accordance with Section 7.5 hereof. The General
Partners shall accept or reject each subscription for Units within 30 days after
its receipt by the Partnership; if rejected, all subscription payments which
accompanied such rejected subscription shall be returned forthwith to the
subscriber. No General Partner or Affiliate of a General Partner or any
underwriter, dealer or salesman of Units shall directly or indirectly pay or
award any finder's fee, commission or other compensation to any Person engaged
by a potential investor for investment advice as an inducement to such advisor
to advise the purchase of Units; provided, however, that this provision shall
not prohibit the normal selling commission payable to a registered broker-dealer
or other properly licensed Person for selling Units.
7.3 Absence of Control Over Partnership Business. The Limited Partners
hereby consent to the exercise by the General Partners of the powers conferred
on them by this Agreement. No Limited Partner (except one who may also be a
General Partner, and then only in his capacity as General Partner) shall
participate in or have any control over the Partnership business or have any
right or authority to act for or to bind the Partnership. No Limited Partner
shall have the right to have the Partnership dissolved and liquidated or to have
his Capital Contribution returned except as provided in this Agreement.
7.4 Limited Liability. The liability of each Limited Partner in his
capacity as a Limited Partner shall be limited to the amount of the Capital
Contributions as described in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 hereof. Except as may
otherwise be required by law, no Limited Partner shall, in his capacity as
Limited Partner, have any further obligations to the Partnership or be required
to contribute any capital or loan any funds to the Partnership.
7.5 Admission of Investor and Substitute Limited Partners. Each
Investor Limited Partner shall become a Partner simultaneously with the filing
of the first amendment to the Certificate of Limited Partnership which shall
reflect the respective
A-14
name, address and Capital Contribution of such Investor Limited Partner. The
General Partners shall prepare and file the first amendment to the Certificate
of Limited Partnership admitting Investor Limited Partners to the Partnership
within 15 days after a successful completion of the minimum offering of
$4,000,000 of Units, as specified in Section 7.2 hereof. Thereafter, the General
Partners shall prepare and file from time to time during the initial offering of
Units, and in any event not less frequently than each month during such offering
period, and promptly upon the completion thereof, further amendments to admit
additional Investor Limited Partners whose subscriptions for Units shall have
been accepted by the General Partners. Until they are admitted into the
Partnership through the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Limited
Partnership, the subscribers will not be Partners but instead will be creditors
of the Partnership entitled to a return of their respective subscription
payments in the event they are not admitted as Investor Limited Partners.
Following the completion of the initial offering of Units, the General Partners
shall prepare and file not less often than quarterly, as specified in Section
10.3 hereof, further amendments to the Certificate of Limited Partnership to
reflect the admission of Substitute Limited Partners admitted to the Partnership
in accordance with Section 10 hereof.
Section 8. Allocations and Distributions.
8.1 Allocations of Profits or Losses for Tax Purposes.
(a) Operating Profits or Losses. Prior to the admission of any Investor
Limited Partner, the Profits or Losses for Tax Purposes of the Partnership shall

admitted) shall be determined as of the end of such fiscal year, or portion
thereof, and allocated among the classes comprised of the Investor Limited
Partners, the Original Limited Partner, and the General Partners as follows:
such Profits for Tax Purposes shall be allocated in the same proportions as

the event no Cash Flow is then available for distribution, in the respective
proportions in which Cash Flow would have been distributed under that Section if

Capital Accounts of the Net Cash Proceeds of the Terminating Capital Transaction
distributed pursuant to Section 8.3(b) and as set forth in Section 8.4 (with
regard to the allocations within the classes of Partners), the Profits for Tax
Purposes arising from such Terminating Capital Transaction and the winding up of
the affairs of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners (treating
the classes comprised of the Investor Limited Partners, the Original Limited
Partner, and the General Partners as separate classes for such allocation) as
follows:
First, to each class of Partners (without preference over any other
class of Partners) in the amount as to each class equal to (or if less than, in
proportion to) the aggregate of the then negative balances (if any) in the
Capital Accounts of the Partners of such class;
A-16
Second, to the class comprised of the Investor Limited Partners until
such class shall have been allocated an amount of Profits equal to the
Cumulative Return on Investment in respect of all fiscal years of the
Partnership from the initial admission of the Investor Limited Partners through
the most recent fiscal year completed prior to the Terminating Capital
Transaction, less the sum of (i) all amounts of Cash Flow whenever distributed
to such class pursuant to Section 8.2(b) First, and (ii) all amounts of cash

from prior Capital Transactions;

Tax Purposes attributable to a Capital Transaction shall be allocated
ninety-nine percent (99%) to the class comprised of the Investor Limited
Partners, and one percent (1%) to the class comprised of the General Partners.

Losses for Tax Purposes attributable to the Terminating Capital Transaction and
the winding-up of the affairs of the Partnership shall be allocated to the
Partners to the extent of, and any excess in proportion to, the positive
balances in their Capital Accounts (adjusted as though the Partnership's fiscal
year ended immediately prior to the event giving rise to such Losses).
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.1(e) to the contrary, the
class comprised of the General Partners shall be allocated, to the extent not
otherwise allocated, at least one percent (1%) of all Losses for Tax Purposes
allocated pursuant to this Section 8.1(e). Any such allocation shall be treated
for all purposes as though it were otherwise allocable to the General Partners
under this Section.
A-17

(a) "Cash Flow". The term "Cash Flow" of the Partnership for a
particular fiscal year shall include all Profits or Losses for Tax Purposes from
the operation of the Partnership for such fiscal year, excluding Profits or
Losses for Tax Purposes for such fiscal year arising from a Capital Transaction
or the Terminating Capital Transaction, and shall be determined by adjusting
such Profits or Losses (to the extent not otherwise adjusted) as follows:

(9) The reimbursement and fees payable to the General Partners
hereunder shall be considered a deduction, whether or not then payable to the
General Partners;
(10) Property management fees and reimbursement paid to
property managers shall be considered as a deduction;
A-18
(11) Capital Contributions to the Partnership and the Net Cash
Proceeds of any Capital Transaction or the Terminating Capital Transaction shall

Partners, which distribution will be based upon an estimate by the General
Partners of the Partnership's total Cash Flow for such year. Within 90 days
after the end of each fiscal year, the Partnership's Cash Flow for such year
will be determined and, after giving effect to the amount of Cash Flow
previously distributed, the remainder will then be distributed to the Partners.

A-19
in this Section 8.3(a) which makes such cash available), including any fees and

Subordinated Financial Consulting Fee, and then to fund reserves for contingent
liabilities (including fees then earned but not yet payable pursuant to Section
6.4 hereof, but excluding any Subordinated Financial Consulting Fee) to the
extent deemed reasonable by the General Partners, provided, that at the
expiration of such period of time as the General Partners shall deem advisable,
the balance of such reserves remaining after payment (or other satisfaction) of
such contingencies shall be distributed in the manner hereinafter set forth in
this Section 8.3(a). The remaining Net Cash Proceeds, if any, shall then be
distributed as follows:
First, to the class comprised of the Investor Limited Partners until
such class has received a return of its total Invested Capital;

such class shall have received an amount which, when added to the sum of (i) all
amounts of Cash Flow whenever distributed to such class pursuant to Section
8.2(b) First, and (ii) all amounts of cash distributed to such class pursuant to
this Section 8.3(a) Second (which distributions were made due to a prior Capital
Transaction) equals the amount which such class would have received, in the

all fiscal years of the Partnership from the initial admission of the Investor
Limited Partners through the most recent fiscal year completed prior to the
Capital Transaction giving rise to the distribution made pursuant to this clause

class comprised of the General Partners shall be entitled to receive, to the
extent not otherwise entitled, at least one percent (1%) of all Net Cash
Proceeds arising from a Capital Transaction. Any such distribution shall be
treated for all purposes as though it were otherwise distributable to the
General Partners under this Section.

to (or if less than, in proportion to) the aggregate of the then positive
balances (if any) in the Capital Accounts of the Partners of such class;
Second, to the class comprised of the Investor Limited Partners until
such class shall have received an amount which, when added to the sum of (i) all
amounts of Cash Flow whenever distributed to such class pursuant to Section
8.2(b) First, and (ii) all amounts of cash whenever distributed to such class
pursuant to Section 8.3(a) Second arising from Capital Transactions, equals the
amount which such class would have received, in the aggregate, if it had
received the Cumulative Return on Investment in respect of all fiscal years of
the Partnership from the initial admission of the Investor Limited Partners
through the most recent fiscal year completed prior to the Terminating Capital
Transaction;
Third, to the class comprised of the Investor Limited Partners until
such class has received a return of its total Invested Capital;

Partner, and seven percent (7%) to the class comprised of the General Partners.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.3(b) to the contrary, (i)
Smith Barney shall be paid its Subordinated Financial Consulting Fee to the
extent then due immediately after the class comprised of Investor Limited
Partners has received an amount of cash equal to its Cumulative Return on
Investment plus a return of its Invested Capital and after the classes comprised
of the Original Limited Partner and the General Partners, respectively, have
received a return of their Invested Capital, and immediately
A-21
before any other distributions of cash are made pursuant to Section 8.3(b), and
(ii) the General Partners shall be entitled to receive, to the extent not
otherwise entitled, at least one percent (1%) of all Net Cash Proceeds arising
from the Terminating Capital Transaction. Any such distribution to the General
Partners shall be treated for all purposes as though it were otherwise
distributable to the General Partners under this Section.
8.4 Allocations and Distributions Within Classes of Partners.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.4(c) hereof, which shall
govern with respect to allocations of Profits or Losses from normal operations
and distributions of Cash Flow derived from the Partnership's operations during
any fiscal year in which any Investor Limited Partner shall initially be
admitted to the Partnership, and to allocation (if appropriate) to Partners in
accordance with their respective Capital Accounts of Profits and Net Cash
Proceeds from the Terminating Capital Transaction pursuant to Sections 8.1(c)
First and 8.3(b) First, all Profits or Losses for Tax Purposes of the
Partnership allocated to, and distributions of cash made to, the classes of
Partners consisting of the Investor Limited Partners and the General Partners
shall be allocated among the respective members of such classes as follows: (i)
among the Investor Limited Partners, in proportion to their respective number of
Units; and (ii) among the General Partners, in proportion to their respective
Invested Capital. All distributions of Cash Flow or of Net Cash Proceeds from
Capital Transactions and the Terminating Capital Transactions which are
distributable to the Investor Limited Partners shall be made to the Investor
Limited Partners (or their respective assignees) of record on the dates such
distributions are made. Except for allocations of Profits or Losses for Tax
Purposes from normal operations which are allocated in accordance with Section
8.4(d) hereof, all allocations of Profits or Losses shall be made to the
Investor Limited Partners (or their respective assignees) of record entitled to
receive any corresponding distributions of cash.
(b) All Profits or Losses for Tax Purposes allocated to, and
distributions of cash made to, the Partners shall be credited or charged, as the
case may be, to their Capital Accounts as of the date as of which such Profits
or Losses for Tax Purposes are allocated and the date as of which distributions
of cash are made. All distributions made to the Partners pursuant to the
provisions of Section 8.2 hereof shall be treated as having been made and
charged to their respective Capital Accounts prior to the allocation of Profits
or Losses for Tax Purposes pursuant to Section 8.1(a); distributions under
Section 8.3(a) shall be treated as having been made and charged to their
respective Capital Accounts prior to the allocation of Profits for Tax Purposes
pursuant to Section 8.1(b) First; distributions under Section 8.3(b) shall be
treated as having been made and charged to their respective Capital Accounts
after the allocation of Profits for Tax Purposes pursuant to Section 8.1(c) and
after the allocation of Losses for Tax Purposes pursuant to Section 8.1(e); and
all cash distributions pursuant to Sections 8.2(b) and 8.3(a) shall be treated
as having been made and charged to their respective Capital Accounts prior to
the allocation of Losses for Tax Purposes pursuant to Section 8.1(d)
A-22
and Section.8.1(e). The Profits or Losses for Tax Purposes of the Partnership
allocated among the Partners pursuant to Section 8.1(a) shall be credited or
charged to their respective Capital Accounts prior to the allocation of Profits
or Losses for Tax Purposes of the Partnership pursuant to Sections 8.1(b), (c)
and (d).
(c) All Profits or Losses for Tax Purposes which are allocated to the
class of Investor Limited Partners pursuant to Section 8.1(a) hereof, and all
distributions, if any, of Cash Flow made to the class of Investor Limited
Partners pursuant to Section 8.2(b) hereof, shall, to the extent such
allocations or distributions are based upon the Partnership's operations during
any fiscal year in which Investor Limited Partners are initially admitted to the
Partnership, be allocated among the Investor Limited Partners as follows. First,
each such fiscal year shall be divided into twelve segments of one month each,
and the operations of the Partnership shall be deemed as having occurred on a
pro rata basis over each of such twelve segments irrespective of the actual
operations of the Partnership during any given month. Second, each Investor
Limited Partner who was admitted to the Partnership prior to the commencement of
such fiscal year shall be deemed to have held his respective Units during each
of such twelve segments, and each Investor Limited Partner who was admitted to
the Partnership during such fiscal year shall be deemed to have held his
respective Units during the appropriate number of such segments as shall
commence with the first day of the month in which his respective admission to
the Partnership as an Investor Limited Partner occurred. Third, all Profits or
Losses which are allocated to the class of Investor Limited Partners pursuant to
Section 8.1(a) hereof, and all distributions, if any, of Cash Flow made to the
class of Investor Limited Partners pursuant to Section 8.1(b) hereof, shall, to
the extent such allocations or distributions are based upon the Partnership's
operations during such fiscal year, be allocated among the Investor Limited
Partners in proportion to the respective products produced by multiplying (i)
their respective number of Units by (ii) the respective number of segments of
such year in which such Units were held.
(d) Upon the transfer of a Partnership Interest, which shall be deemed
to have occurred as set forth below, the transferor and transferee shall be
allocated a pro rata share of the Partnership's Profits or Losses for Tax
Purposes from normal operations (which shall exclude Profits or Losses from
Capital Transactions or the Terminating Capital Transaction, which shall be
allocated in accordance with Section 8.4(a) hereof). Each item of income, gain,
cost, deduction or credit entering into the computation of Profits or Losses
from normal operations shall be pro-rated for the fiscal year in which the
transfer occurs, and such pro-ration between the transferor and transferee shall
be based on the portion of the fiscal year that the transferred Partnership
Interest was held by the transferor and transferee, respectively. Such
pro-ration shall be based upon dividing each fiscal year of the Partnership into
twelve even segments of one month each and without regard to the actual
operations of the Partnership during any specified month, as specified in
Section 8.4(c) hereof. For the purpose of such allocations, such transfer shall
be deemed to have been made on the first day of the month following which
written evidence respecting the assignment is received by the Partnership in
form
A-23
satisfactory to the General Partners or, if such date shall not be permitted for
allocation purposes under the Code, on the nearest date otherwise permitted
under the Code.
8.5 Return of Partners' Capital Contributions. All Partners shall look
solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return of their respective
Capital Contributions or any other distributions with respect to their
Partnership Interests. If the assets remaining after payment or discharge, or
provisions for payment or discharge, of its debt and liabilities are
insufficient to return the Capital Contributions or to make any other
distributions to the Partners, no Partner shall have any recourse against the
personal assets of any other Partner for that purpose, except to the limited
extent set forth in Section 6.3 hereof.
8.6 Reinvestment of Cash Flow and Net Cash Proceeds. The Partnership
shall not invest Cash Flow in Properties. No Net Cash Proceeds of a Capital
Transaction or the Terminating Capital Transaction may be reinvested by the
Partnership except for Net Cash Proceeds of a Capital Transaction which occurs
in the two year period following the completion of the offering of Units. In the
event of such a Capital Transaction, the General Partners may elect, in their
sole discretion based upon real estate market conditions then in effect, either
to distribute all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds to the Partners or to
reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds in reserves or in one or more Properties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such a Capital Transaction shall create any
federal or state income tax liability for the Investor Limited Partners, no such
Net Cash Proceeds shall be reinvested unless sufficient such Net Cash Proceeds
are distributed to the Investor Limited Partners to pay any such federal or
state income taxes (assuming the Investor Limited Partners are taxable at a 40%
rate on ordinary income and a 16% rate on capital gains).
8.7 Return of Uninvested Capital Contributions. In the event that any
portion of the Investor Limited Partners' Capital Contributions derived from the
offering of Units is not invested or committed for investment by the Partnership
within 24 months from the date on which such public offering of Units commenced
(except for any amounts utilized to pay expenses of the Partnership and amounts
set aside for reserves), such portion of Capital Contributions shall promptly be
distributed to the Investor Limited Partners by the Partnership as a return of
capital. For the purpose of this Agreement, funds will be deemed to have been
committed to investment and will not be returned to the Investor Limited
Partners to the extent written agreements in principle, commitment letters,
letters of intent or understanding, option agreements or any similar contracts
or understandings were at any time executed but not terminated during the
aforesaid 24 month period, regardless of whether any such investment is or is
not ultimately consummated, and to the extent any funds have been reserved to
make contingent payments in connection with any property, regardless of whether
any such payments are or are not ultimately made. In the event that any Investor
Limited Partners' Capital Contributions shall be returned pursuant to this
Section, the respective Capital Contributions (and Invested Capital) of such
Partners shall thereupon be deemed to have been reduced by the amount of such
distribution.
A-24
Section 9. Withdrawal of General Partners.
9.1 Voluntary Withdrawal. Any General Partner may Voluntarily Withdraw
as a General Partner from the Partnership at any time provided that (a) the
Partnership shall have received the opinion of Counsel to the Partnership to the
effect that such Withdrawal will not constitute a termination of the Partnership
or otherwise materially adversely affect the status of the Partnership for
federal income tax purposes and (b) if the General Partner proposing to withdraw
is then the sole General Partner, or if such Voluntary Withdrawal shall require
the admission of a new General Partner in order to preserve the status of the
Partnership as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, a new General
Partner shall have been selected who, or which, (i) shall have stated
willingness to be admitted, (ii) shall satisfy the then applicable provisions of
the Code and any applicable procedures, regulations, rules and rulings
(including published private rulings) thereunder, including applicable net worth
requirements so that the Partnership shall be classified as a partnership for
tax purposes, and (iii) shall have received the specific written consent of any
remaining General Partner, of the Original Limited Partner, and of Investor
Limited Partners holding not less than two-thirds of the Units with respect to
such admission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall either The
Krupp Corporation or The Krupp Company Limited Partnership-II Voluntarily
Withdraw as a General Partner from the Partnership prior to December 31, 1985.
9.2 Involuntary Withdrawal. A General Partner shall be deemed to have
Involuntarily Withdrawn as a General Partner from the Partnership upon the
occurrence of any of the following events: (a) in the case of The Krupp Company
Limited Partnership-II or an additional or Substitute General Partner which is a
partnership, upon the death, physical or mental incapacity (as determined by
certificate of a licensed physician), dissolution or bankruptcy of all general
partners of such partnership, (b) in the case of The Krupp Corporation or an
additional or Substitute General Partner which is a corporation, the filing of a
certificate of dissolution, or its equivalent, for such General Partner or the
revocation of its charter, (c) the removal of the General Partner pursuant to a
vote of the Limited Partners made in accordance with Section 13 of this
Agreement, (d) the making of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, the
filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or an adjudication of bankruptcy,
or (e) any other event which constitutes an event of withdrawal under the
Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act as then in effect.
9.3 Consequences of Withdrawal.
(a) Upon the Withdrawal of any General Partner, the Withdrawn General
Partner or his estate or legal representatives shall be entitled to receive from
the Partnership (i) any positive balance in his or its Capital Account (as
adjusted to the date of such Withdrawal), (ii) any amounts due and owing to it
or him by the Partnership less any amounts due and owing by it or him to the
Partnership, and (ill) the remaining balance, if any, of fees payable as and
when due pursuant to this Agreement or any other written agreements between the
Partnership and such General Partner in his capacity as
A-25
General Partner; however, the Withdrawn General Partner shall not be entitled to
any such fees which had not yet been earned by him prior to his Withdrawal. The
right of a General Partner, his estate or legal representatives to payment of
said amounts and fees shall be subject to any claim for damages which the
Partnership or any Partner may have against such General Partner, his estate or
legal representative if such Withdrawal is in contravention of this Agreement.
(b) Each General Partner hereby covenants and agrees, in the event of
his Withdrawal, to transfer to a Substitute General Partner selected as provided
in Section 9.5 hereof or to the remaining General Partner or General Partners,
such portion, if any, of his General Partnership Interest as may be required to
assure that the Partnership will meet the minimum general partnership interest
requirement for the continued treatment of the Partnership as a partnership
under the then applicable provisions of the Code and any applicable procedures,
regulations, rules and rulings (including published private rulings) thereunder.
Any such transfer will be made in consideration of the payment by the Substitute
General Partner or the remaining General Partner or Partners to the Withdrawn
General Partner, his estate or legal representatives, of the fair market value
of such interest. Such payments shall be in addition to any amounts payable
pursuant to Section 9.3(a) hereof by the Partnership. Any portion of such
Withdrawn General Partner's Interest which is not required to be transferred as
aforesaid may be retained by such Withdrawn General Partner, or his estate or
legal representatives as appropriate. Such Withdrawn General Partner, or his
estate or legal representatives, shall be treated as a Limited Partner in the
Partnership in respect to any such retained Interest.
(c) If the Withdrawal of a General Partner shall occur as part of a
removal and replacement of such General Partner effected in accordance with
Section 13 hereof, the provisions of said Section 13 shall govern to the extent
(if any) that the provisions of said Section 13 are inconsistent with the
provisions of this Section 9.3.
9.4 Liability of Withdrawn General Partner. If the business of the
Partnership is continued after Withdrawal of a General Partner, the Withdrawn
General Partner, his estate and legal representatives shall remain liable for
all obligations and liabilities incurred by him while a General Partner and for
which he was liable as a General Partner, but shall be free of any obligation or
liability incurred on account of or arising from the activities of the
Partnership from and after the time such Withdrawal shall have become effective.
9.5 Continuation of Partnership Business.
(a) Procedure if there is a Remaining General Partner. Upon the
Withdrawal of a General Partner, the remaining General Partner or Partners, if
any, shall promptly notify the Limited Partners of such Withdrawal. The
remaining General Partner or Partners may elect to continue the Partnership
business. If at any time The Krupp Company Limited Partnership-II or a successor
General Partner with substantial net
A-26
worth shall withdraw as a General Partner, the remaining General Partners or
Partner may (but shall not be obligated to), propose for admission a Substitute
General Partner or General Partners, unless a Substitute General Partner shall
have already been proposed by the Investor Limited Partners pursuant to Section
13 hereof. Any such proposed Substitute General Partner shall with the specific
written consent of the other General Partners, of the Original Limited Partner,
and of Investor Limited Partners holding not less than, two-thirds of the Units,
become a Substitute General Partner upon his or its execution of this Agreement.
(b) Procedure if there is no Remaining General Partner. If, following
the Withdrawal of a General Partner, there is no remaining General Partner or
Substitute General Partner, any Investor Limited Partner may notify the other
Limited Partners of such circumstances and may propose for admission a
Substitute General Partner, unless a Substitute General Partner shall have
already been proposed by the Investor Limited Partners pursuant to Section 13
hereof. Any Substitute General Partner proposed by such Investor Limited Partner
pursuant to this Section 9.5(b) or Section 13.2 hereof, shall, with the specific
written consent of Investor Limited Partners holding not less than two-thirds of
the Units, become a Substitute General Partner upon his or its execution of this
Agreement and may thereupon elect to continue the Partnership business. If no
Substitute General Partner has received the consent of Investor Limited Partners
holding not less than two-thirds of the Units, executed this Agreement, and
elected to continue the Partnership business within one-hundred eighty (180)
days from the date of the last remaining General Partner's Withdrawal, then the
Partnership shall thereupon terminate.
Section 10. Assignment of Limited Partnership Interests.
10.1 Withdrawal of a Limited Partner. Subject to compliance with this
Agreement, an Original or Investor Limited Partner may withdraw from the
Partnership only by assigning or otherwise transferring his or its Interest as
specified in this Section 10. The withdrawal of a Limited Partner shall not
dissolve or terminate the Partnership. In the event of a Limited Partner's
withdrawal because of death, legal incompetence, dissolution or other
termination, the estate, legal representative or successor of such withdrawn
Limited Partner shall be deemed to be the assignee of such withdrawn Limited
Partner's Interest and may become a Substitute Limited Partner upon compliance
with the provisions of Section 10.3 hereof.
10.2 Assignment. Except as provided in Section 10.4 below, any Limited
Partner may Assign all or any part of his Limited Partnership Interests,
provided such Limited Partner shall file with the Partnership, in form
satisfactory to the General Partners, a duly executed counterpart of the
instrument making such Assignment and such instrument (a) evidences the written
acceptance by the assignee of all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement,
(b) represents that such Assignment was made in accordance with all applicable
laws and regulations (including, without limitation, such minimum investment and
investor suitability requirements as may then be applicable
A-27
under state securities laws), and (c) is accompanied by a fee of not in excess
of $50.00 to reimburse the Partnership for its costs respecting the Assignment.
10.3 Substitution. An assignee of a Limited Partnership Interest
assigned in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 or 10.2 hereof shall
become a Substitute Limited Partner of the same class as his assignor if:
(a) the General Partners, in their sole discretion, shall consent in
writing to such substitution (which consent may be withheld);
(b) such assignee executes an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the
General Partners accepting and adopting the terms and provisions of this
Agreement; and
(c) in the case of Assignments other than by operation of law, the
assignor states his intention in writing to have his assignee become a
Substitute Limited Partner.
If all of the conditions of Sections 10.2 and 10.3 shall have been met,
the assignee of a Unit shall become a Substitute Limited Partner on the date as
of which the General Partners consent in writing to his admission to the
Partnership as a Substitute Limited Partner, which consent shall be evidenced by
the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Limited Partnership listing the
name of such Substitute Limited Partner. Such an amendment shall be filed no
later than 15 days after the completion of any fiscal quarter of the Partnership
in which an Assignment has occurred which will give rise to the admission of a
Substitute Limited Partner.
An assignee of a Limited Partnership Interest who does not become a
Substitute Limited Partner in accordance with this Section 10.3 and who desires
to make a further Assignment of his Interest shall be subject to all the
provisions of Sections 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 hereof, to the same extent and in the
same manner as any Limited Partner of his class desiring to make an Assignment
of his Interest. Failure or refusal of the General Partners to admit an assignee
as a Substitute Limited Partner shall in no way affect the right of such
assignee to receive the share of the Profits or Losses for Tax Purposes and
distributions of Cash Flow and Net Cash Proceeds to which his predecessor in
interest would have been entitled in accordance with Section 8 hereof.
10.4 Prohibited Assignment. Unless in each of the following instances
the General Partners shall give their express written consent, no Units may be
Assigned or otherwise transferred:
(a) to a minor or incompetent (unless a guardian, custodian or
conservator has been appointed to handle the affairs of such Person);
(b) to any Person not permitted to be a transferee under law including,
in particular but without limitation, applicable state securities laws which
generally provide that, except in the case of a transfer by gift, inheritance,
intra-family transfer, or family
A-28
dissolution, each transferee of Units must acquire not less than five Units, and
that following a transfer of less than all his Units, each transferor must
retain a sufficient number of Units to satisfy the minimum investment standards
applicable to his initial purchase of Units;
(c) in the case of a proposed assignment of Units, to any assignee if
such assignee would hold after such Assignment a fraction of a Unit; or
(d) to any Person if, in the opinion of Counsel to the Partnership,
such transfer would result in the termination under the Code of the
Partnership's taxable year or of its status as a partnership.
Any such attempted Assignment without the express written consent of
the General Partners shall be void and ineffectual and shall not bind the
Partnership. In the case of a proposed Assignment which is prohibited solely
under clause (d) above, however, the Partnership shall be obligated to permit
such Assignment to become effective if and when, in the opinion of Counsel to
the Partnership, such Assignment would no longer have either of the adverse
consequences under the Code which are specified in that clause.
10.5 Status of an Assigning Limited Partner. Any Limited Partner who
shall Assign all of his Interest shall cease to be a Limited Partner of the
Partnership, and shall no longer have any of the rights or privileges of a
Limited Partner, except that unless and until a Substitute Limited Partner is
admitted in his stead, such assigning Limited Partner shall retain the statutory
rights of an assignor of a limited partnership interest under the Massachusetts
Uniform Limited Partnership Act.
Section 11. Dissolution and Winding-up.
11.1 Events Causing Dissolution. The Partnership shall be dissolved and
its affairs wound up on the first to occur of the following:
(a) the Withdrawal of any General Partner, unless the remaining General
Partner or Partners, if any, or a Substitute General Partner admitted in
accordance with Section 9.5 or Section 13 hereof, agree to continue the
Partnership business pursuant to Section 9.5; or
(b) an election to dissolve the Partnership made in writing by the
General Partners with the Consent of a majority in interest of the Investor
Limited Partners, or, subject to compliance with Section 13 hereof, made by a
majority in interest of the Investor Limited Partners without action by the
General Partners; or
(c) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Partnership unless the General Partners elect to continue the
Partnership business for the purpose of the receipt and collection of a note and
payments thereon or the collection of
A-29
any other consideration to be received in exchange for the assets of the
Partnership (which activities shall be deemed to be a part of the Terminating
Capital Transaction and the winding up of the affairs of the Partnership); or
(d) the expiration of the Partnership term; or
(e) any other event which causes the dissolution and/or winding up of
the Partnership under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act to the
extent not otherwise provided herein.
11.2 Distributions Upon Dissolution. Upon the dissolution of the
Partnership, the General Partners, or if there is none, such other Person
required by law to wind up the Partnership `s affairs, shall proceed with the
liquidation of the Partnership (including, without limitation, the sale or other
disposition of any remaining Properties and cancellation of the Certificate of
Limited Partnership), and the net proceeds of such liquidation shall be applied
and distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.3(b) hereof.
During the period of dissolution and winding up of the Partnership, the General
Partners or any Person performing such actions may exercise all of the powers
granted to the General Partners herein, and they may adopt such plan, method or
procedures as they may deem reasonable in order to effectuate an orderly winding
up. If the General Partners shall perform the foregoing functions, they shall be
compensated therefor as provided in Section 6.4 and 8 hereof, and if such
functions shall be performed by Persons other than the General Partners, such
Persons shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from the Partnership for
their services.
Section 12. Fiscal Matters.
12.1 Title to Property and Bank Accounts. Except to the extent that
trustees, nominees or other agents are utilized as specified in Section
6.1(b)(2) hereof, the Properties and other assets of the Partnership shall be
held in the name of the Partnership. The funds of the Partnership shall be
deposited in the name of the Partnership in such bank account or accounts as
shall be designated by the General Partners, and withdrawals therefrom shall be
made upon the signature of any General Partner or such Person or Persons as
shall be designated in writing by any General Partner. The funds of the
Partnership shall not be commingled with the funds of any other Person.
12.2 Maintenance of and Access to Basic Partnership Documents. The
General Partners 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 of Limited Partnership 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
A-30
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,
provided such Partner shall pay the cost of reproducing and delivering such
list. Except to the extent requested by any Limited Partner, the General
Partners shall have no obligation to deliver or mail a copy of the Partnership's
Certificate of Limited Partnership or any amendment thereto to the Limited
Partners. Each Limited Partner shall also have the right to obtain from the
General Partners 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.
12.3 Financial Books and Accounting. The General Partners shall keep or
cause to be kept complete and accurate financial books with respect to the
Partnership's business. Such books shall be kept on an accrual basis and the
Profits and Losses for Tax Purposes of the Partnership shall be determined for
each fiscal year in accordance with accounting methods followed for federal
income tax purposes and otherwise in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applied in a consistent manner. Except as otherwise
provided herein, whenever a proportionate part of the Profits or Losses for Tax
Purposes of the Partnership is credited or charged to a Partner's Capital
Account, every item of income, gain, loss or deduction entering into the
computation of such Profits or Losses shall be considered either credited or
charged, as the case may be, and every item of credit or tax preference related
to such Profits or Losses and applicable to the period during which such Profits
or Losses were realized shall be allocated to such Capital Account in the same
proportion.
12.4 Partnership Expenses. No reimbursement shall be permitted to the
General Partners or any of their Affiliates for services which the General
Partners or any such Affiliate are entitled to compensation by way of a separate
fee. The Partnership shall reimburse the General Partners for organizational and
offering expenses incurred by the General Partners, provided that in no event
shall the amount of organizational and offering expenses paid directly or
indirectly by the Partnership exceed 4.0% of the Capital Contributions received
by the Partnership as a result of its offering of Units. For purposes hereof,
"organizational and offering expenses" shall mean those expenses incurred in
connection with, and in preparing the Partnership for, qualification under the
federal and state securities laws and subsequently offering and distributing the
Units to the public, except for sales commissions and financial consulting fees
paid by the Partnership to Smith Barney in connection with the offering of
Units. Except for organizational and offering expenses, the Partnership shall
not reimburse the General Partners or their Affiliates except for reimbursement
of the actual cost to the General Partners or their Affiliates of goods and
materials used for or by the Partnership and
A-31
obtained from Persons unaffiliated with the General Partners and their
Affiliates; provided, however, the General Partners and their Affiliates may
receive reimbursement for the administrative services necessary to the prudent
operation of the Partnership, such as legal, accounting, computer, transfer
agent and other services which could be performed directly for the Partnership
by independent parties. The amounts charged to the Partnership for such
administrative services will not exceed the lesser of (i) the actual costs to
the General Partners or their Affiliates, or (ii) those which the Partnership
would be required to pay to independent parties for comparable services in the
same or comparable geographic locations. As part of the Partnership`s annual
report to the Limited Partners, an itemized breakdown will be included of such
reimbursements, all of which shall be verified by the Accountants. Subject to
the foregoing, the Partnership shall pay all expenses (which expenses shall be
billed directly to the Partnership) of the Partnership which may include but are
not limited to: (i) all costs of personnel (excluding rent or depreciation,
utilities, capital equipment, and other administrative items) employed full- or
part-time by the Partnership and involved in the business of the Partnership and
allocated pro rata to their services performed on behalf of the Partnership,
including Persons who may also be officers or employees of the General Partners
or their Affiliates (other than Controlling Persons); (ii) all costs of borrowed
money, taxes and assessments on Partnership Properties and other taxes
applicable to the Partnership; (iii) legal, audit, accounting, brokerage and
other fees; (iv) printing, engraving and other expenses and taxes incurred in

agents, consultants, on-site property managers and other property management
personnel, real estate brokers, insurance brokers and other agents; (vi)

remodeling, refurbishment, leasing, refinancing and operation of Partnership

premiums, real estate brokerage and leasing commissions and of maintenance of
such property); (vii) expenses of organizing, revising, amending, converting,
modifying or terminating the Partnership; (viii) expenses in connection with
distributions made by the Partnership to, and communications and bookkeeping and

including the costs of printing and mailing to such Persons evidences of
ownership of Units and reports of meetings of the Partnership, and of
preparation of proxy statements and solicitations of proxies in connection
therewith; (ix) expenses in connection with preparing and mailing reports
required to be furnished to Limited Partners for investor, tax reporting or
other purposes, or which reports the General Partners deem the furnishing
thereof to Limited Partners to be in the best interests of the Partnership; (x)
accounting, computer, statistical or bookkeeping costs necessary for the
maintenance of the books and records of the Partnership; and (xi) the cost of
preparation and dissemination of the informational material and documentation
relating to potential sale, refinancing or other disposition of Partnership
Properties. Other than as specifically described above in this Section and in
Section 6.4 hereof, the
A-32
Partnership shall not pay the General Partners for any other items generally
considered to be the General Partners' overhead and expenses.

time by the General Partners, the Partnership's fiscal year for federal income
tax and financial reporting purposes shall end on December 31 of each year.

decisions are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
(d) Federal Tax Elections. The Partnership, in the sole discretion of
the General Partners, may make elections for federal tax purposes as follows:

Section 13. Meetings and Voting Rights of Investor Limited Partners.
13.1 Meetings.
(a) Meetings of the Investor Limited Partners for any purpose may be
called by the General Partners and shall be called by the General Partners upon
receipt of a request in writing signed by 10% or more in interest of the
Investor Limited Partners. Notice of any such meeting shall be sent within ten
days after receipt of such request. Such request shall state the purpose of the
proposed meeting and the matters proposed to be acted upon at the meeting. Such
meeting shall be held at the principal office of the Partnership, or at such
other place as may be designated by the General Partners or, if called upon the
request of Investor Limited Partners, as designated by such Investor Limited
Partners. In addition, upon receipt of a request in writing signed by 10% or
more in interest of the Investor Limited Partners, the General Partners shall
submit any matter (upon which the Investor Limited Partners are entitled to act)
to the Investor Limited Partners for a vote by written Consent without a
meeting.
(b) A notice of any such meeting shall be given either personally or by
mail, not less than 15 days nor more than 60 days before the date of the
meeting, to each Investor Limited Partner at his record address, or at such
other address which he may have furnished in writing to the General Partners.
Such notice shall be in writing, and shall state the place, date and hour of the
meeting, and shall indicate that it is being issued at or by the direction of
the Partner or Partners calling the meeting. The notice shall state the purpose
or purposes of the meeting. If a meeting is adjourned to another time or place,
and if any announcement of the adjournment of time or place is made at the
meeting, it shall not be necessary to give notice of the adjourned meeting. The
presence in person or by proxy of the majority in interest of the Investor
Limited Partners shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the Investor
Limited Partners; provided, however, that if there be no such quorum, holders of
a majority in interest of such Investor Limited Partners so present or so
represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice,
until a quorum shall have been obtained. No notice of the time, place or purpose
of any meeting of Investor Limited Partners need be given to any Investor
Limited Partner who attends in person or is represented by proxy
A-35
(except when an Investor Limited Partner attends a meeting for the express
purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any
business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened), or
to any Investor Limited Partner entitled to such notice who, in writing, has
executed and filed with the records of the meeting, either before or after the
time thereof, waiver of such notice.
(c) For the purpose of determining the Investor Limited Partners
entitled to vote on, or to vote at, any meeting of the Partnership or any
adjournment thereof, the General Partners or the Investor Limited Partners

the proportion which his respective Units represent of the total Units held by
all Investor Limited Partners at the relevant time, provided that the Units held

received an opinion of counsel, which counsel is satisfactory to a majority in
interest of the Investor Limited Partners, as to the legality of such action,
and (b) either (i) the Partnership has received an opinion of counsel, which
counsel is satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Investor Limited
Partners, that such action may be effected without subjecting the Investor
Limited Partners to liability as general partners under the Massachusetts

which the Partnership is qualified or owns a Property, or (ii) a Massachusetts
court having appropriate jurisdiction has entered a judgment to the foregoing
effect, and (c) either (i) the Partnership has received an opinion of counsel,

status for tax purposes or (ii) either a court having appropriate jurisdiction
has entered a judgment, or the Internal Revenue Service has issued a ruling, to
the foregoing effect. For purposes of this Section 13.3, counsel will be deemed
satisfactory to the Investor Limited Partners if proposed by the General
Partners and affirmatively approved in writing within 45 days by a majority in
interest of the Investor Limited Partners; provided that if the holders of 10%
or more of the Investor Limited Partnership Interests propose counsel for this
purpose, such proposed counsel, and not counsel proposed by the General
Partners, shall be submitted for such approval by the Investor Limited Partners.
13.4 Valuation of Interest of General Partner. In the event of removal
of any General Partner pursuant to Section 13.2 hereof, its Interest as a
General Partner in the Partnership shall be appraised by two independent
appraisers, one selected by the removed General Partner and one by the Investor
Limited Partners. In the event that such two appraisers are unable to agree on
the value of the removed General Partners' Interest, they shall jointly appoint
a third independent appraiser whose determination shall be final and binding.
The Partnership shall pay the removed General Partner for the value of its
Interest as so determined by delivery of a promissory note bearing interest at
the then prime rate of The First National Bank of Boston, with interest payable
annually in cash and principal payable from any cash thereafter received by the
Partnership from the sale or refinancing of Partnership Properties and prior to
any distribution being made to the Partners pursuant to Section 8.3 of this
Agreement. Any amounts received pursuant to this Section 13.4 shall constitute
complete and full discharge for all amounts owing to the removed General Partner
on account of its Interest
A-37
in the Partnership. For purposes of this Section 13.4, the independent appraiser
selected by the Investor Limited Partners shall be selected in the following
manner: a list of three qualified MAI (Member of Appraisal Institute) appraisers
shall be obtained (by a General Partner not being removed) from the Boston
chapter of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and one of said
three appraisers shall be selected by random number and proposed by such General
Partner for selection by the Investor Limited Partners. Such appraiser shall be
deemed selected by the Investor Limited Partners unless objected to in writing
by a majority in interest of the Investor Limited Partners within 45 days after
notification thereof is sent in writing by such General Partner.

assets" contained in Section 2550.40lb-(l) of Title 29 of the Code of Federal
Regulations.

Section 9.5 and Section 11, with full power of substitution, the true and lawful
attorney-in-fact of, and in the name, place and stead of, such Limited Partner,
with the power from time to time to execute, acknowledge, make, swear to,
verify, deliver, record and/or publish:
(i) this Agreement of Limited Partnership and the Certificate
of Limited Partnership under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or
any other jurisdiction, that may be required by this Agreement or by the laws of
Massachusetts or any other jurisdiction, any subsequent amendment to this
Agreement and the Certificate of Limited Partnership (including, but not limited
to, amendments reflecting the addition of any signatory hereto as a Partner, or
any admission or substitution of other Partners, or reflecting the Capital
Contribution made by any signatory hereto or by any other Partner), or any other
document required from time to time to admit a Partner, to effect the
substitution of a Partner, or to effect the substitution of any Limited
Partner's assignee as a Limited Partner;
(ii) any other document required to reflect any action of the
Partners duly taken in the manner provided for in this Agreement, whether or not
such Limited Partner voted in favor of or otherwise Consented to such action;
(iii) any other instrument, certificate or document which may
be required by any regulatory agency, laws of the United States, any state, or

business or which the General Partners deem advisable to file or record,

provided that no General Partner shall take any action as attorney-in-fact for
any Limited Partner which could in any way increase the liability of such
Limited Partner beyond the liability expressly set forth in this Agreement or
alter the rights of Investor Limited Partners under Section 8 of this Agreement,
unless (in either case) the Limited Partner has given a Power of Attorney to a
General Partner expressly for such purpose.
A-39
(b) Amendments to Agreement and Certificate.
(i) Each of the Investor Limited Partners is aware that the
terms of this Agreement permit certain amendments of this Agreement 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
Investor Limited Partners if a specified percentage of the Partners shall have
voted in favor of, or otherwise Consented to, such action. If, as, and when:
(A) an amendment of this Agreement is proposed or an
action is proposed to be taken or omitted by, or with respect to, the
Partnership which requires, under the terms of this Agreement, the Consent of a
specified percentage in interest (but less than all) of the Partners;
(B) Partners holding the percentage of interests
specified in this Agreement as being required for such amendment or action have
Consented to such amendment or action in the manner contemplated by this
Agreement; and
(C) 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 in Section 15(a) 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 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.
(ii) Any amendment to this Agreement (and to the Certificate
of Limited Partnership) substituting a Limited Partner, or adding a Limited or
General Partner, may be signed by any General Partner and by the Person to be
substituted as a Limited Partner, or added as a Limited or General Partner. Any
amendment reflecting the determination of the remaining General Partner or
Partners to continue the business of the Partnership upon the Withdrawal of a
General Partner need be signed only by one General Partner. The execution of any
such amendment on behalf of a Limited Partner or any proposed substitute or
added Limited Partner may be effected by his attorney-in-fact.
A-40
(c) Power Coupled With an Interest. The foregoing grant of authority:
(i) is a special power of attorney coupled with an interest in
favor of the General Partners and as such shall be irrevocable and shall survive
the death or insanity of each Limited Partner;
(ii) may be exercised for each Limited Partner by a signature
of any General Partner of the Partnership or by listing the names of all of the
Investor Limited Partners, including such Limited Partner, and executing any
instrument with a single signature of any General Partner acting as
attorney-in-fact for all of them; and
(iii) shall survive the Assignment by any Limited Partner of
the whole or any portion of his Interest, except that, where the assignee of the
whole thereof has furnished a power of attorney and has been approved by the
General Partners for admission to the Partnership as a Substitute Limited
Partner, this power of attorney shall survive such Assignment with respect to
the assignor for the sole purpose of enabling a General Partner to execute,
acknowledge and file any instrument necessary to effect such substitution and
shall thereafter terminate with respect to any Partner who assigns his entire
Interest.
(d) Power of Attorney by Substitute Investor Limited Partners. A
similar power of attorney shall be one of the instruments which the General
Partners shall require an assignee of a Limited Partner to execute as a
condition to the admission of such assignee as a Substitute Limited Partner.
