Partners. A transferee of a General Partner's interest hereunder shall be admitted as a General
Partner with respect to such General Partner's interest if, and only if, all of the other Partners consent

immediately prior to the Transfer, and such transferee shall continue the business of the Partnership
without dissolution. A transferee who acquires a General Partner's interest hereunder by means of
a Transfer that is permitted under this section, but who is not admitted as a General Partner, shall
have no authority to act for or bind the Partnership, to inspect the Partnership's books, or otherwise
to be treated as a General Partner.

the parkiership is required by law to recognize, if a Pamier s interest in the Partnership is subjected
to a lawful "charging order", or if a Partner makes an unauthorized Transfer of an interest in the
Partnership, the Partnership will have the unilateral option to acquire the interest of the Assignee,
or any fraction or part thereof, upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) The Partnership will have the option to acquire the interest by giving written
notice to the Assignee of its intent to purchase within 90 days from the date it is finally
determined that the Partnership is required to recognize the Transfer. If the Partnership fails
to exercise its option within such 90 day period, the remaining Partners shall have the option
to acquire pro rata shares of such interest by giving written notice to the Assignee of their
intent to purchase within 90 days following the expiration of the expired 90 day option
period held by the Partnership.
(b) The valuation date for the determination of the purchase price of the interest will
be the first day of the month following the month in which the notice is delivered.
(c) Unless the Partnership and the Assignee agree otherwise, the purchase price for
the interest, or any fraction to be acquired by the Partnership, shall be its fair market value
as determined by a written valuation report prepared by a Person qualified to perform
business valuations of partnerships and ownership interests in partnerships describing the
value of the ownership interest in the Partnership. Such written valuation report shall take
into account all appropriate discounts which are applicable to such interest. Payment for the
cost of such valuation report shall be made by such Assignee. Closing of the sale will occur
at the principal office of the Partnership at 10:00 am. on the first Tuesday of the month
following the month in which the Appraisal is rendered. The purchase price paid by the
Partnership shall be reduced by any costs or fees incurred by the Partnership in acquiring the
interest of such Assignee.
(d) In order to reduce the burden upon the resources of the Partnership, the
Partnership will have the option, to be exercised in writing delivered at closing, to pay its
purchase money obligation in fifteen equal annual installments (or for aperiod oftime equal
to the remaining term ofthe Partnership if such period is less than fifteen years) with interest
at the Default Rate of Interest. The first installment of principal, with interest, will be due
and payable on the fast day of the calendar year following closing, and subsequent annual
installments, with accrued interest, win be due and payable on the first day of each
succeeding calendar year until the entire amount of the obligation is paid. The Partnership

unauthorized Transfer shall have the right to vote on Partnership matters during the
prescribed option period or, if the option to purchase is timely exercised, until the sale is
closed.
10.7 Survival of Liabilities. It is expressly understood and agreed that no Transfer of a
Partnership Interest, even if it subsequently results in the substitution of the Assignee as a.Limited
Partner herein, shall release the transferor or assignor from those liabilities as to the Partnership
which survive such Transfer as a matter of law.
10.8 Partnership Interest Pledge or Encumbrance. No Partner may giant a security
interest or otherwise pledge, hypothecate or encumber his interest in this Partnership or such

to recognize the interest of any transferee who has obtained a purported transferred interest as the
result of a Transfer that is not authorized by this Agreement and the Transfer shall be null and void

to distributions or liquidating proceeds or other property, the General Partner may accumulate such
property until the issue is resolved to the satisfaction of the General Partner.
ARTICLE XI
DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP
11.1 Dissolution and Termination of the Partnership. The Partnership shall be
immediately dissolved upon the occurrence of any of the following (a "Liquidating Event"):
(a) The expiration of the term set forth in Section 1.5;
(b) The withdrawal or removal of a General Partner, the assignment by a General
Partner of its entire interest in the Partnership, or any other event that causes a General
Partner to cease to be a general partner under the Act, provided that any such event shall not
constitute a Liquidating Event if the Partnership is continued pursuant to this Article.
(c) The express written agreement executed by all of the Partners; or
(d) Within a reasonable period of time, as determined by the General Partner, after
the sate, condemnation, foreclosure or other similar disposition of all of the Partnership
Property or upon the happening of any other event which makes it unlawful, impossible, or
impractical to carry on the business of the Partnership.
11.2 Withdrawals: Reconstitution. Technical dissolutions may occurpursuant to Section
11.1(b) of this Agreement, but if there is a remaining General Partner or if the Limited Partners by
vote of 66.67% of the outstanding ownership interests of the Limited Partners entitled to vote
(excluding from such election any limited partnership interest controlled by the General Partner who
brought about such event), agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the
appointment, effective as ofthe date of such event, of one or more General Partners, the Partnership
will be reconstituted and continued. A General Partner may have the power but not the right to
withdraw at any time from the Partnership and cease to be a General Partner under the provisions
of 6.02(a) of the Act by giving written notice to the other Partners. Any General Partner who
withdraws or ceases to be a General Partner pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of the Act, before the
expiration of the stated term of this Partnership violates this Agreement, and the Partnership may
recover damages from the withdrawing General Partner, including the reasonable cost of obtaining
replacement of the services the withdrawn Partner was obligated to perform, for breach of the
Agreement. The Partnership may, in addition to pursuing any remedies otherwise available under
applicable law, effect that recovery by offsetting those damages against the amount otherwise
distributable to the withdrawing General Partner, reducing the Limited Partner's interest into which
the withdrawing General Partner's interest may be converted under Section 6.02(b)(1) of the Act.
Subject to the liability created under Section 6.02(a) of the Act, a General Partner who ceases to be
a General Partner under Section 4.02(a) of the Act shall, at the option of the remaining General
Partners or, ifthere are no remaining General Partners, at the option of a majority in interest (at least
51%of the then outstanding ownership interest) of the Limited Partners in a vote that excludes any
Limited Partner interest held by the withdrawing General Partner, convert the interest in that General
Partner's capital account, including such General Partner's share of Profits, Losses and distributions,
to that of a Limited Partner, or pay to the withdrawn General Partner in cash or other Partnership
property of equivalent value, or secure by bond approved by a court of competent jurisdiction, the
fair market value of such General Partner's interest in the Partnership, less the damages caused by
such General Partner's breach of this Agreement.
11.3 PinalAccounting. Upon dissolution ofthe Partnership, an accounting shall be made
ofthe accounts ofthe Partnership, the account ofeach Partner thereof, and ofthe Partnership's assets,
liabilities and operations, from the date of the last previous accounting to the date of such
dissolution.
11.4 LL uidation and Priorities on Distribution. If the Partnership is terminated under
Section 11.1, then in such event the Managing Partner shall act as the Liquidating Trustee and shall
liquidate the Partnership as herein provided.
(a) If there is no Managing Partner or if the Managing Partner declines or ceases to
serve as Liquidating Trustee, the Liquidating Trustee shall be elected by agreement of those
Partners whose percentage interests aggregate 80% percent ofthe ownership interests of the
Partners. The General Partner shall execute such documents that are reasonably required to
enable the Partner(s) to perform and function as Liquidating Trustee.
(b) The Liquidating Trustee shall proceed to liquidate the assets of the Partnership
and the proceeds of such liquidation shall be applied to the Partners in the amount equal to
the credit balances in their capital accounts so that the capital account of each Partner shall
be brought to zero. Forthepurpose ofdeterininingdistributionsand liquidation ,anAdjusted
Capital Account Deficit will be considered to be a loan from the Partnership to a Partner.
Said loan will be paid in cash within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor has been
made by any of the other Partners. The balance, if any, will be paid to the Partners (both
General and Limited), in an amount equal to each Partner's percentage interest in the
Partnership, as determined immediately prior to the distribution of the credit balances of the
Partner's capital accounts. Any property which is distributed in kind in liquidation shall be
treated as if such property had been sold for its fair market value, the gain or losses from
such property had been distributed to the Partners in accordance with the provisions herein,
and the cash proceeds from the sale of such property had been distributed.'
(c) After the foregoing distributions, this Agreement shall terminate and none of the
parties shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder.
(d) If a disposition of the Partnership Property has been made on terms that produce
a note or contract receivable to the Partnership, the dollar value attributable to each interest
in such note or contract receivable distributed pursuant to this Section shall be, as to any
distributee thereof, such distributee's pro rata portion of the face amount thereof, and the
Liquidating Trustee shall be obliged to make a liquidating distribution in a fashion such that
the Partners each are distributed a rateable share of cash items and a rateable share of
receivables according to their respective total rights to liquidating distributions.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth hereinabove, if, after the
payment of current Partnership liabilities and obligations to the extent of the funds and/or
properties available for that purpose, either any portion of a Partnership borrowing remains
unpaid or the Liquidating Trustee determines that additional £ands will be required to meet
Partnership costs and expenses thereto incurred or for which the Fartnership may become
responsible, then the Liquidating Trustee shall be obligated to retain such required amounts,
if available {or as when they become available}, before any Partnership cash or properly is
distributed to any Partner.
11.6 Powers and Duties of Liquidating Trustee Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the Liquidating Trustee shall be entitled to exercise such of
the powers and authorities granted to the General Partner under Article VII hereof as are necessary
and appropriate for the winding up and termination of the Partnership, and also shall be subject to
the duties and obligations imposed upon the General Partner under Article VII.

indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership from and against any and all claims, demands,
liabilities, costs, damages and causes of action of any nature whatsoever, arising out of or incidental
to the Liquidating Trustee taking any action authorized under, or within the scope of, this Article;
provided, however, that the Liquidating Trustee shall be entitled to no indemnification hereunder
where the claim at issue arose out of
(a) A matter entirely unrelated to the Liquidating Trustee's acting under the
provisions of this Article;
(b) The proven gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith of the
Liquidating Trustee; or
(e) The proven breach ofthe Liquidating Trustee of its obligations under this Article.
The indemnification rights herein contained shall be cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all
other rights, remedies, and resources to which the Liquidating Trustee shall be entitled, at law or in
equity.
