This Amendment to the Schedule 13D is filed as a result of the
execution of an Investment Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2000 (the
"Investment Agreement"), by and among Equity, KRF and KRF3, in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit 1, and a Voting Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2000 (the
"Voting Agreement"), by and among Equity, KRF and KRF3, in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit 2, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
In addition, KRF3 purchased 472 Units from Smithtown Bay, L.L.C.
reported herein for an aggregate cash price of $259,600. The source of such
funds was from an affiliate of KRF3.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Equity, KRF and KRF3 entered into the Investment Agreement and the
Voting Agreement for the purpose of facilitating a merger proposal (the
"Proposal") which is anticipated to be made by KRF3 to acquire outstanding Units
for a cash price per Unit to be determined by KRF3. Under the Proposal, the
Partnership would be merged with and into KRF3 (the "Merger"), and in connection
therewith each outstanding investment limited partnership interest in the
Partnership (other than those held by KRF3, its affiliates and Equity) would be
canceled and converted into the right to receive in exchange therefor a fixed
cash amount, without interest thereon. If the merger is consummated, the Units
would be eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4)
of the Exchange Act.
Completion of the merger would be subject to the satisfaction of a
number of conditions, including the approval of the merger agreement (in the
form attached to the Investment Agreement as Exhibit B) and necessary amendments
to the Amended Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated as of June 1, 1982, of
the Partnership (the "Amendments") by the holders of a majority of Units of the
Partnership. Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, KRF and Equity would
enter into the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of KRF3
in the form attached thereto as Exhibit A (the "LLC Agreement"). Subject to the
terms and conditions set forth therein, KRF and Equity
<PAGE>
- ------------------------ -------------------------
CUSIP No. 501128 10 2 Page 19 of 25 Pages
- ------------------------ -------------------------
have agreed to make capital contributions to KRF3 in exchange for limited
liability company interests in KRF3 having the terms and conditions set forth in
the LLC Agreement. As part of such capital contributions, Equity would
contribute to KRF3 the Units held by it in exchange for an interest in KRF3
prior to consummation of the Merger. KRF has previously caused to be contributed
to KRF3 10,826 Units of the Partnership in exchange for an interest in KRF3.
Under the terms of the Voting Agreement, Equity has agreed that at any
meeting of the partners of the Partnership, however called, and in any action by
consent of the limited partners of the Partnership, Equity would vote (or cause
to be voted) the Units held of record or beneficially owned by it in favor of
the Proposal and the Amendments. Equity further agreed that at any meeting of
the partners of the Partnership, however called, and in any action by consent of
the limited partners of the Partnership, Equity would vote, or cause to be
voted, in person or by proxy, the Units held of record or beneficially owned by
it against approval of any proposal made in opposition to or in competition with
the Proposal.
In addition, Equity further agreed that, without the consent of KRF3
and KRF, Equity would not, either directly or indirectly, offer or otherwise
agree to sell, assign, pledge, transfer, exchange or dispose of any Units or
options, warrants or other convertible securities to acquire or purchase Units,
whether now or hereafter acquired. Under the terms of the Voting Agreement, if
Equity acquires any additional Units, the Voting Agreement would be applicable
to such additional Units.
The KRF Affiliates could be deemed to have "acquired" beneficial
ownership of the Units held by the Equity limited partnerships solely by virtue
of the fact that the KRF Affiliates have entered into the Investment Agreement
and the Voting Agreement and because they may be deemed to have agreed to act
together for the purpose of acquiring and voting such Units of the Partnership
pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act, in order to
facilitate the merger pursuant to the Proposal. Except as specifically set forth
herein, the KRF Affiliates disclaim beneficial ownership of any such Units,
including the power to vote, to direct the voting of, to dispose, or to direct
the disposition of such Units.

ARTICLE 4
REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES OF THE INVESTORS AND BERKSHIRE
-----------------------------------------
Each Investor and Berkshire hereby represents and warrants (severally
as to itself and not jointly) to the Company as follows:
<PAGE>
7
4.1 Existence and Power. Such Person (a) is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
formation and (b) has the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party.

effect on the ability of such Person to consummate the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents.

filings to be made with the SEC, no approval, consent, compliance, exemption,
authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any

4.5 Purchase for Own Account. The LLC Interests to be acquired by such
Person pursuant to this Agreement are being or will be acquired for its own
account and with no intention of distributing or reselling such LLC Interests or

compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, as then

it is capable of evaluating the merits and risk of an investment in the

investment in the Purchased Interests for an indefinite length of time because
the Purchased Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities laws. Such Person further understands that the
purchase of the Purchased Interests involves a high degree of risk, and that
such Person has been given the opportunity to ask questions of and receive
answers from the Company regarding the Purchased Interests.
ARTICLE 5
INDEMNIFICATION
---------------
5.1 Indemnification. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Article
5, Berkshire and the Company, severally and not jointly, agree to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the Investors and their Affiliates and their respective
officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and
controlling persons to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any
and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, judgements,
assessments, fines, settlements, costs or expenses (including interest,
penalties and reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel)
(collectively, "Losses") based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of
any inaccuracy in or any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement of Berkshire or the Company contained in this Agreement.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Article 5, each
Investor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, Berkshire,
and their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents,
employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and controlling persons to the
fullest extent permitted by law from and against any Losses based upon, arising
out of or otherwise in respect of any inaccuracy in or any breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of such Investor contained in
this Agreement.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Article 5, the
Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Berkshire, the Investors
and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, agents, employees,
subsidiaries, partners, members and controlling persons to the fullest extent
permitted by law from and against any Losses based upon or arising out of or
otherwise in respect of any litigation commenced by or on behalf of Unitholders
relating to the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby; provided that
the Company shall not have any liability to any of the foregoing parties to the
extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon such parties' fraud,
gross negligence, willful malfeasance or conduct that is the subject of a
criminal proceeding (where such party has a reasonable cause to believe that
such conduct was unlawful). Berkshire shall make capital contributions to the
Company in the event the Company is otherwise unable to satisfy such indemnity
obligations, which shall constitute additional Capital Contributions of the
Managing Member pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(i) of the LLC Agreement.
<PAGE>
9
5.2 Notification. Each Person entitled to indemnification under this
Article 5 (an "Indemnified Party") shall, promptly after the receipt of notice
of the commencement of any action, investigation, claim or other proceeding
against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from
the indemnifying parties under this Article 5 (the "Indemnifying Parties"),
notify the Indemnifying Parties in writing of the commencement thereof. The
failure of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Parties of any
such action shall not relieve the Indemnifying Parties from any liability which
it may have to such Indemnified Party (a) other than pursuant to this Article 5
or (b) under this Article 5 unless, and only to the extent that, such failure
results in the Indemnifying Parties' forfeiture of substantial rights or
defenses. In case any such action, claim or other proceeding shall be brought
against any Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the Indemnifying Parties of
the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Parties shall be entitled to assume
the defense thereof at their own expense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to such Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment; provided, however, that
any Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to
participate in such defense at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in any action, claim or proceeding in which both the Indemnifying Parties, on
the one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand, are, or are
reasonably likely to become, a party, such Indemnified Party shall have the
right to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties and
to control its own defense of such action, claim or proceeding if, in the
reasonable opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential
conflict exists between the Indemnifying Parties, on the one hand, and such
Indemnified Party, on the other hand, that would make such separate
representation advisable; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Parties shall
not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel to all
Indemnified Parties. Each Indemnifying Party agrees that it will not, without
the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or
consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action
or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified
Party is a party thereto or has been actually threatened to be made a party
thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional
release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising or that may arise
out of such claim, action or proceeding. The Indemnifying Parties shall not be
liable for any settlement of any claim, action or proceeding effected against an
Indemnified Party without its written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing or
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Article 5
shall restrict or limit any rights that any Indemnified Party may have to seek
equitable relief.
5.3 Contribution. If and to the extent that the indemnification
provided for in Section 5.1 (Indemnification) is unenforceable for any reason,
each Indemnifying Party shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of amounts with respect to such Losses that such Indemnifying Party
would otherwise be obligated to provide indemnification for pursuant to this
Article 5 as shall be permissible under applicable laws.

ARTICLE 3
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS;
DISTRIBUTIONS; ALLOCATIONS
3.1 Capital Contributions.
(a) Initial Capital Contribution. As of the date hereof, the
Managing Member has caused to be contributed 10,826 Units, constituting all of
the Units owned by the Company (the "Existing Managing Member Contribution") to
the capital of the Company. On the date hereof or such later date as determined
by the Managing
13
<PAGE>
Member, (i) the Managing Member shall have contributed (or shall have caused to
have been contributed) $954,810 in cash to the capital of the Company, or such
lesser amount, when added to the Financing, the Existing Managing Member
Contribution and the Capital Contributions of the Additional Members, as is
sufficient to consummate the Merger and to refinance the indebtedness of Fund
III, and (ii) the Additional Members shall have contributed to the Company all
of the Units owned by them. In the event that an amount in excess of $954,810 is
necessary to consummate the Merger and to refinance the indebtedness of Fund
III, the Managing Member shall have the right, but shall not be required, to
contribute such additional amount. Set forth on Exhibit A opposite each Member's
name as such Member's initial Capital Contribution is (i) in the case of the
Managing Member, (A) the Existing Managing Member Contribution (the value of
which shall be equal to the product of the number of Units previously
contributed by the Managing Member and the per Unit consideration paid to the
holders in the Merger) and (B) the amount of cash to be contributed by the
Managing Member on the date hereof, and (ii) in the case of each Additional
Member, the number of Units to be contributed by such Additional Member on the
date hereof and the contribution value per Unit, which value shall be equal to
the consideration paid to the holders of Units in the Merger.
(b) Additional Capital Contributions; Loans.
(i) The Managing Member shall pay any and all costs
and expenses incurred on behalf of the Company in connection with (A)
the organization of the Company and the preparation of this Agreement
and the Investment Agreement, including, without limitation, fees,
costs and expenses payable to attorneys, accountants, consultants and
custodians; (B) the proxy solicitation; (C) the meeting of Unitholders
to consider the Merger and (D) satisfaction of the Company's
indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 4.4(iv). All such
payments shall constitute additional Capital Contributions of the
Managing Member and the Members' Interests shall be adjusted to reflect
the changes in relative Capital Contributions of the Members resulting
from such payments.
(ii) The Members shall not be obligated to make
additional capital contributions to the Company except as provided in
Section 4.1(b) (Return of Previously Distributed Amounts) and, with
respect to the Managing Member, except as also provided in Section
3.1(b)(i). Upon a determination by the Managing Member that additional
cash is required by the Company for capital improvements to, or
rehabilitation of, the Properties (an "Additional Cash Determination"),
the Managing Member shall use good faith efforts to satisfy such cash
requirements utilizing available cash of the Company and/or with the
proceeds from a refinancing of the Properties. In the event such
actions are not reasonably likely to meet the Company's cash
requirements, each
14
<PAGE>
Member shall have the right to make an additional Capital Contribution
in an amount equal to (but not less than) its proportionate share
(determined by reference to the ratio of such Member's Interests to the
Interests of all Members who actually make such additional Capital
Contribution) of any such additional cash requirement. With respect to
each Additional Cash Determination, if any Member declines to make such
an additional Capital Contribution, (A) the other Members may elect to
make a Capital Contribution equal to the unfunded amount (determined on
a pro rata basis) thereof and (B) the Members' Interests shall be
adjusted to reflect the changes in the relative Capital Contributions
of Members resulting from such Capital Contributions.
(iii) With respect to any Additional Cash
Determination not funded pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii) above, the
Managing Member may elect to lend funds to the Company in the amount of
such deficiency with the consent of the Required Additional Members
(which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld). Any loans to the
Company pursuant to this Section (b)(iii) shall not constitute a
Capital Contribution to the Company and shall not affect a Member's
Interest in the Company. Any loans to the Company authorized in
accordance with this Section 3.1(b)(iii) shall be evidenced by a
promissory note and shall be payable to the lender at an interest rate
of twelve percent (12%) per annum, compounded quarterly and shall have
such other terms as determined by the Managing Member, in its sole
discretion.
(c) Interests of the Members. The initial Interest of each
Member of the Company shall be the percentage set forth opposite such Member's
name on Exhibit A. Exhibit A shall be promptly amended to reflect changes of
Interests resulting from any additional capital contributions in accordance with
Section 3.1(b) (Additional Capital Contributions) or the admission or
substitution of any Additional Members to the Company in accordance with
Sections 7.1 (Additional Members) and 7.2 (Transfer), respectively.
(d) No Withdrawal; Return of Contributions. Except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no Member shall have the right
to withdraw capital from the Company, to receive interest on such Member's
Capital Contributions or to receive any distribution or return of such Member's
Capital Contributions.
3.2 Capital Accounts.
(a) Maintenance of Capital Accounts. The Company shall
maintain a "Capital Account" for each Member on the books of the Company in
accordance with the following provisions:
15
<PAGE>
(i) Each Member's Capital Account shall be increased
by the amount of: (A) such Member's Capital Contributions pursuant to
Section 3.1 (Capital Contributions); (B) any Net Income or other item
of income or gain allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 3.4
(Allocations) or Section 3.5 (Special Allocations); and (C) Company
liabilities, if any, assumed by such Member or secured, in whole or in
part, by any Company assets that are distributed to such Member.
(ii) Each Member's Capital Account shall be decreased
by the amount of: (A) cash and the fair market value on the date of
distribution of any other Company property distributed to such Member
pursuant to Section 3.3 (Distributions) and Section 8.2 (Winding Up and
Termination); (B) any Net Loss or other item of loss or deduction
allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 3.4 (Allocations) or
Section 3.5 (Special Allocations); and (C) liabilities, if any, of such
Member assumed by the Company, other than liabilities for which the
Company is required to reimburse such Member hereunder or otherwise.
(b) Succession to Capital Accounts. In the event any Person
becomes a substituted Member in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2(a)
(Conditions to Transfer), such substituted Member shall succeed to the Capital
Account of the transferor Member to the extent such Capital Account relates to
the transferred interest (or portion thereof).
3.3 Distributions.
(a) General.
(i) Distributions shall be made in cash. The Managing
Member shall establish reserves for working capital, contingencies or
other items and for the satisfaction of liabilities (including
contingent liabilities) of the Company. Subject to such reserves,
distributions of Available Cash (subject to all restrictions in the
definitions of such term) shall be made to the Members by the Managing
Member on behalf of the Company in accordance with clause (ii) below.
(ii) Available Cash to be distributed to the Members
pursuant to this Section 3.3(a)(ii) (Distributions -- General) shall be
apportioned among the Members in accordance with their respective
Interests. Amounts so apportioned to the Managing Member shall be
distributed to the Managing Member. Amounts so apportioned to each
Additional Member shall be allocated between such Additional Member and
the Managing Member and distributed as follows (and the calculations
described in the following clauses shall be made as of
16
<PAGE>
the date of each distribution, on a cumulative basis), subject to the
other terms of this Article 3:
(A) First, to such Additional Member until such
Member has received, taking into account the amount and timing
of all prior distributions under this Section 3.3(a)(ii)
(Distributions -- General) and all prior Capital Contributions
made pursuant to Section 3.1 (Capital Contributions) by such
Additional Member, a Rate of Return on its aggregate Capital
Contributions compounded semiannually to the extent not paid
on a semiannual basis, equal to twelve percent (12%) per
annum;
(B) Next, to such Additional Member until such
Additional Member has received an amount equal to its
aggregate Capital Contributions; and
(C) Thereafter, twenty percent (20%) to the Managing
Member and eighty percent (80%) to such Additional Member.
(b) Timing. Distributions shall be made within 45 days after
the completion of the first half of each Fiscal Year. Within 90 days after the
end of each Fiscal Year, the Company's profits/income for the year shall be
determined and after giving effect to the amount of profits/income previously
distributed, the remainder will then be distributed in accordance with Section
3.3(a) (Distributions -- General) above.
(c) Distributions to Persons on Company Records. Any
distribution by the Company pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.3 or Section
8.2 (Winding Up and Termination) to the Person shown on the Company's records as
a Member or to its legal representatives, or to the assignee to the right to
receive such distributions as provided herein, shall acquit the Company and the
Managing Member of all liability to any other Person who may be interested in
such distribution by reason of any other assignment or transfer of such Member's
interest in the Company for any reason (including an assignment or transfer
thereof by reason of death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of such
Member).
3.4 Allocations.
(a) Net Income. Net Income for each Fiscal Year (or portion
thereof) shall be allocated among the Members (after giving effect to the
allocations contained in Sections 3.4(c) (Tax Allocations) and 3.5(c) (Gross
Income Allocation) first to the extent Net Loss has been allocated to the
Members pursuant to Section 3.4(b) (Net Loss) and thereafter as nearly as
possible in the manner that distributions would be made pursuant to Section
3.3(a) (Distributions -- General) (other than returns of capital)).
17
<PAGE>
(b) Net Loss. The Company shall allocate Net Loss first to
offset previous allocations of Net Income in respect of income that has not yet
been distributed, and then among the Members in accordance with their respective
Interests.
(c) Tax Allocations. For United States federal, state and
local income tax purposes, items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit
shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with the allocations of the
corresponding items for Capital Account purposes under Sections 3.4
(Allocations) and 3.5 (Special Allocations), except that items with respect to
which there is a difference between tax and book basis will be allocated in
accordance with section 704(c) of the Code, the Regulations thereunder and
Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i).
3.5 Special Allocations.
(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other
provision of Section 3.4 (Allocations), if there is a net decrease in Company
Minimum Gain or Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined in accordance
with the principles of Regulation sections 1.704-2(d) and 1.704-2(i)) during any
Company taxable year, the Members shall be specially allocated items of Company
income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount
equal to their respective shares of such net decrease during such year,
determined pursuant to Regulation sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5). The
items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulation
section 1.704-2(f). This Section 3.5(a) is intended to comply with the minimum
gain chargeback requirements in such Regulation sections and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith; including that no chargeback shall be
required to the extent of the exceptions provided in Regulation sections
1.704-2(f) and 1.704- 2(i)(4).
(b) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member
unexpectedly received any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described
in Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company
income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and
manner sufficient to eliminate the deficit balance in its Capital Account in
excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore, if any,
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Member is
deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of
Regulation sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5) created by such adjustments,
allocations or distributions as promptly as possible. This Section 3.5(b) is
intended to comply with the "qualified income offset" requirement in such
Regulation section and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(c) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has a
deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the
sum of (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore, if any, pursuant to
any provision of
18
<PAGE>
this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to
restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulation section
1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704- 2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated
items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as
possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 3.5(c) shall be
made only if and to the extent that a Member would have a deficit Capital
Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in
Section 3.4 (Allocations) and this Section 3.5 have been tentatively made as if
Section 3.5(b) (Qualified Income Offset) and this Section 3.5(c) were not in
this Agreement.
(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be
allocated to the Members in proportion to their Interests.
(e) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse
Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Member who bears the
economic risk of loss with respect to the liability to which such Member
Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulation section
1.704-2(j).
(f) Regulatory Compliance. The provisions of Sections 3.2
(Capital Accounts), 3.3 (Distributions), 3.4 (Allocations), this Section 3.5 and
the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital
Accounts are intended to comply with Regulation section 1.704-1(b) and shall be
interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulation. The
Managing Member shall be authorized to make appropriate amendments to the
allocations of items pursuant to Section 3.4 (Allocations) if necessary in order
to comply with Section 704 of the Code or applicable Regulations thereunder;
provided, that no such change shall have an adverse effect upon the amount
distributable to any Member pursuant to this Agreement.
(g) Curative Allocations.
(i) The allocations set forth in Sections 3.5(a)
(Minimum Gain Chargeback), 3.5(b) (Qualified Income Offset), 3.5(c)
(Gross Income Allocation), 3.5(d) (Nonrecourse Deductions) and 3.5(e)
(Member Nonrecourse Deductions) of this Agreement (the "Regulatory
Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of the
Regulations. The Managing Member is authorized to offset all Regulatory
Allocations either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special
allocations of income, gain, loss or deductions pursuant to this
Section 3.5(g) in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that,
after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member's Capital
Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital
Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory
Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all items of income,
gain, loss or deduction were allocated pursuant to Section 3.4
19
<PAGE>
(Allocations). In exercising its discretion under this Section 3.5(g),
the Managing Member shall take into account future Regulatory
Allocations under Section 3.5(a) (Minimum Gain Chargeback) that,
although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory
Allocations made under Sections 3.5(d) (Nonrecourse Deductions) and
3.5(e) (Member Nonrecourse Deductions).
(ii) In the event that there are any changes after
the date of this Agreement in applicable tax law, regulations or
interpretation, or any errors, ambiguities, inconsistencies or
omissions in this Agreement with respect to allocations to be made to
Capital Accounts, which would, individually or in the aggregate, cause
the Members not to achieve in any material respect the economic
objectives underlying this Agreement, the Managing Member may in its
discretion make appropriate adjustments to such allocations in order to
achieve or approximate such economic objectives.
(h) Adjustments of Capital Accounts. The Capital Accounts of
the Members may at the discretion of the Managing Member, be adjusted in
accordance with Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), and thereafter
maintained in accordance with Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), to
reflect the fair market value of Company property whenever an interest in the
Company is relinquished to the Company, whenever an Additional Member is
admitted to the Company and the amount of capital contributed by such Member
upon its admission is more than de minimis and reflects changes in the value of
Company assets, and upon a liquidation of the Company, and shall be adjusted in
accordance with Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) in the case of a
distribution of more than a de minimis amount of property (other than cash).
3.6 Tax Withholding; Withholding Advances.
(a) Tax Withholding. If requested by the Managing Member, each
Additional Member shall, if able to do so, deliver to the Company: (i) an
affidavit in form satisfactory to the Managing Member that the applicable
Additional Member is not subject to withholding under the provisions of any
federal, state, local, foreign or other law; (ii) any certificate that the
Managing Member may reasonably request with respect to any such laws; (iii) any
other form or instrument reasonably requested by the Managing Member relating to
any Additional Member's status under such law; and/or (iv) a copy of any tax
return or similar document of the applicable Additional Member that the Managing
Member may reasonably request with respect to any such law. In the event that an
Additional Member fails or is unable to deliver to the Managing Member an
affidavit described in clause (i) of this Section 3.6(a), the Managing Member
may withhold amounts from such Additional Member in accordance with Section
3.6(b) (Withholding Advances -- General).
20
<PAGE>
(b) Withholding Advances--General. To the extent the Company
is required by law to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with
respect to any Member (e.g., backup withholding), the Managing Member may
withhold such ---- amounts and make such tax payments as so required. Tax
payments shall constitute "Withholding Advances" to the extent such tax payments
are not satisfied from amounts otherwise distributable to such Member at the
time such tax payment is made.
(c) Repayment of Withholding Advances. All Withholding
Advances made on behalf of a Member, plus interest thereon (unless waived by the
Managing Member) at a rate equal to the Prime Rate as of the date of such
Withholding Advances plus 2.0% per annum, shall (i) be paid on demand by the
Member on whose behalf such Withholding Advances were made (it being understood
that no such payment shall increase such Member's Capital Contribution), or (ii)
with the consent of the Managing Member, in its discretion, be repaid by
reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or
distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Member or, if such
distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the proceeds
of liquidation otherwise payable to such Member. Whenever repayment of a
Withholding Advance by a Member is made as described in clause (ii) above, for
all other purposes of this Agreement such Member shall be treated as having
received all distributions (whether before or upon Termination) unreduced by the
amount of such Withholding Advance and interest thereon.
(d) Reimbursement of Liabilities. Each Member hereby agrees to
reimburse the Company and the Managing Member for any liability with respect to
Withholding Advances (including interest thereon) required or made on behalf of
or with respect to such Member (including penalties imposed with respect
thereto).
ARTICLE 4
LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION
4.1 Limited Liability of Members.
(a) Limited Liability of Members. The liability of the Members
shall be limited as provided in the Delaware Act and as set forth in this
Agreement. Neither the Managing Member nor any Additional Member shall be
obligated to restore by way of capital contribution or otherwise any deficits in
its Capital Account or the Capital Account of any other Member (if such deficits
occur).
(b) Return of Previously Distributed Amounts. In accordance
with the Delaware Act, a member of a limited liability company may, under
certain
21
<PAGE>
circumstances, be required to return to such limited liability company, for the
benefit of limited liability company creditors, amounts previously distributed
to such member. To the extent that an Additional Member may be required to
return capital to the Company under the Delaware Act, it is the intent of the
Managing Member that any obligation to return any such distributions pursuant to
Section 3.3 (Distributions) or Article 8 (Dissolution; Winding Up; Termination)
shall be deemed to be compromised by the consent of all Members and the
Additional Member to whom any money or property is distributed shall not be
required to return any such money or property to the Company or any creditor of
the Company. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction or regulatory body
with jurisdiction over the matter holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of
this Agreement, any Additional Member is obligated to return to the Company any
amounts previously distributed to such Additional Member, such obligation shall
be the obligation of such Additional Member and not of the Managing Member.
4.2 Qualification. The Managing Member shall use its reasonable efforts
to qualify the Company to do business or become licensed in each jurisdiction
where the activities of the Company make such qualification or licensing
necessary or where failure to so qualify or become licensed would have an
adverse effect on the limited liability of the Additional Members.
4.3 Liability to Members. No Protected Person shall be liable to the
Company or any Member for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or by
any other Member or other Person with respect to the Company, including, without
limitation, any negligent act or failure to act, except in the case of a
liability resulting from such Protected Person's own fraud, gross negligence,
willful malfeasance, intentional and material breach of this Agreement or
conduct that is the subject of a criminal proceeding (where such Protected
Person has a reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful). Any
Protected Person may consult with legal counsel and accountants with respect to
Company affairs (including interpretations of this Agreement) and shall be fully
protected and justified in any action or inaction which is taken or omitted in
good faith, in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of
such counsel or accountants. In determining whether a Protected Person acted
with the requisite degree of care, such Protected Person shall be entitled to
rely on written or oral reports, opinions, certificates and other statements of
the directors, officers, employees, consultants, attorneys, accountants and
professional advisors of the Company or the Managing Member selected and
monitored with reasonable care; provided, that no such Protected Person may rely
upon such statements if it believed that such statements were materially false.
22
<PAGE>
4.4 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification of Protected Persons. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless, protect and
defend each Protected Person against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
including without limitation reasonable legal fees or other expenses incurred in
investigating or defending against any such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, and any amounts expended in settlement of any claims approved by
the Managing Member (collectively, "Liabilities"), to which any Protected Person
may become subject:
(i) by reason of any act or omission or alleged act
or omission (even if negligent) performed or omitted to be performed in
connection with the activities of the Company;
(ii) by reason of the fact that it is or was acting
in connection with the activities of the Company in any capacity or
that it is or was serving at the request of the Company as a partner,
stockholder, member, director, officer, employee or Specified Agent of
any Person;
(iii) by reason of any other act or omission or
alleged act or omission (even if negligent) arising out of or in
connection with the activities of the Company; or
(iv) based upon or arising out of any litigation
commenced by or on behalf of Unitholders relating to the Merger and the
transactions contemplated hereby.
unless such Liability results from such Protected Person's own fraud, gross
negligence, willful malfeasance, intentional and material breach of this
Agreement or conduct that is the subject of a criminal proceeding (where such
Protected Person has a reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was
unlawful).
(b) Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company shall promptly
reimburse (and/or advance to the extent reasonably required) each Protected
Person for reasonable legal or other expenses (as incurred) of each Protected
Person in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any
claim, lawsuit or other proceeding relating to any Liabilities for which the
Protected Person may be indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.4; provided, that
such Protected Person executes a written undertaking to repay the Company for
such reimbursed or advanced expenses if it is finally judicially determined that
such Protected Person is not entitled to the indemnification provided by this
Section 4.4.
23
<PAGE>
(c) Survival of Protection. The provisions of this Section 4.4
shall continue to afford protection to each Protected Person regardless of
whether such Protected Person remains in the position or capacity pursuant to
which such Protected Person became entitled to indemnification under this
Section 4.4 and regardless of any subsequent amendment to this Agreement;
provided, that no such amendment shall reduce or restrict the extent to which
these indemnification provisions apply to actions taken or omissions made prior

28
<PAGE>
The Dissolution Event shall be effective on the day on which such event occurs
and immediately thereafter the Company shall commence the Winding Up Period
during which its affairs shall be wound up in accordance with Sections 8.2
(Winding Up and Termination) and 8.3 (Assets Reserved and Pending Claims).
8.2 Winding Up and Termination.
(a) Winding Up. Upon the occurrence of the Dissolution Event,
the property and business of the Company shall be wound up by the Managing
Member, or, in the event of the unavailability of the Managing Member, by a
Person designated as a liquidating trustee by the Additional Members. Subject to
the requirements of applicable law and the further provisions of this Section
8.2, the Managing Member (or any other Person conducting the winding up of the
Company's affairs) shall have discretion in determining whether to sell or
otherwise dispose of Company assets, except upon a Dissolution Event described
in Section 8.1(c) (Dissolution), or to distribute the same in kind and the
timing and manner of such disposition or distribution. While the Company
continues to hold assets, the Managing Member shall as a general matter seek to
maximize the value of such assets and may in its discretion expend funds,
acquire additional assets and borrow funds. The Managing Member may also
authorize the payment of fees and expenses reasonably required in connection
with the winding up of the Company.
(b) Distributions Upon Winding Up. Within a reasonable period
of time following the occurrence of the Dissolution Event, after allocating all
Net Income, Net Loss and other items of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant
to Sections 3.4 (Allocation) and 3.5 (Special Allocations), the Company's assets
(except for assets reserved pursuant to Section 8.3 (Assets Reserved and Pending
Claims)) shall be applied and distributed in the following manner and order of
priority:
(i) the claims of all creditors of the Company
(including Members except to the extent not permitted by law) shall be
paid and discharged other than liabilities for which reasonable
provision for payment has been made;
(ii) to the Members in accordance with the positive
balances of their respective Capital Accounts; and
(iii) thereafter, to the Members in accordance with
Section 3.3(a) (Distributions -- General).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, liquidating
distributions shall be made no later than the last to occur of (x) 90 days after
the date of disposition (including pursuant to Section 8.3 (Assets Reserved and
Pending Claims)) of the last remaining asset of the Company and (y) the end of
the Company's taxable year in which the disposition
29
<PAGE>
referred to in clause (x) above shall occur. This Section 8.2(b) is intended to
comply with, and shall be interpreted consistently with, the requirements of
Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2).
(c) Distributions In Kind. The Managing Member, in its sole
discretion, may allocate securities for distribution in kind to the Additional
Members. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the amount by
which the fair market value of any property to be distributed in kind to the
Members (including property distributed in liquidation, and property distributed
pursuant to Section 3.3 (Distributions)) exceeds or is less than the adjusted
basis of such property shall, to the extent not otherwise recognized by the
Company, be taken into account in computing income, gains and losses of the
Company for purposes of crediting or charging the Capital Accounts of, and
distributing proceeds to, the Members, pursuant to this Agreement.
(d) Termination. When the Managing Member or a liquidating
trustee appointed pursuant to Section 8.2(a) (Winding Up) has completed the
winding up described in this Section 8.2, the Managing Member or the liquidating
trustee shall cause the Termination of the Company.
8.3 Assets Reserved and Pending Claims.
(a) Assets Reserved. If, upon a Dissolution Event, there are
any assets that, in the judgment of the Managing Member, cannot be sold or
distributed in kind without sacrificing a significant portion of the value
thereof or where such sale or distribution is otherwise impractical at the time
of the Dissolution Event, such assets may be retained by the Company, except
upon a Dissolution Event described in Section 8.1(c) (Dissolution), if the
Managing Member determines that the retention of such assets is in the best
interests of the Additional Members. Upon the sale of such assets or a
determination by the Managing Member that circumstances no longer require their
retention, such assets (at their fair market value) or the proceeds of their
sale shall be taken into account in computing Capital Accounts on winding up and
amounts distributable pursuant to Section 8.2(b) (Distributions Upon Winding
Up), and distributed in accordance with such value.
(b) Pending Claims. If there are any claims or potential
claims (including potential Company expenses in connection therewith) against
the Company (either directly or indirectly, including potential claims for which
the Company might have an indemnification obligation) for which the possible
loss cannot, in the judgment of the Managing Member, be definitively
ascertained, then such claims shall initially be taken into account in computing
Capital Accounts upon winding up and distributions pursuant to Section 8.2(b)
(Distributions Upon Winding Up) at an amount estimated by the Managing Member to
be sufficient to cover any potential loss or liability on account of
30
<PAGE>
such claims (including such potential Company expenses), and the Company shall
retain funds (or assets) determined by the Managing Member in its discretion as
a reserve against such potential losses and liabilities, including expenses
associated therewith. The Managing Member may in its discretion obtain insurance
or create escrow accounts or make other similar arrangements with respect to
such losses and liabilities. Upon final settlement of such claims (including
such potential Company expenses) or a determination by the Managing Member that
the probable loss therefrom can be definitively ascertained, such claims
(including such potential Company expenses) shall be taken into account in the
amount at which they were settled or in the amount of the probable loss
therefrom in computing Capital Accounts on winding up and amounts distributable
pursuant to Section 8.2(b) (Distributions Upon Winding Up), and any excess funds
retained shall be distributed.

MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Investment Representations. Each Additional Member hereby
represents and warrants to the Company that: (a) the limited liability company
interest of the Additional Member is being acquired for investment purposes only
for its own account and not with a view to or in connection with any
distribution, re-offer, resale, or other disposition not in compliance with the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder
(the "Securities Act") and applicable state securities laws; (b) the Additional
Member possesses such expertise, knowledge, and sophistication in financial and

interest, and it is able to bear all such economic risks now and in the future;

decision to acquire its limited liability company interest for investment has
been based solely upon the evaluation made by it; (e) the Additional Member is
aware that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in the Company for

prohibits the transfer of such interests without the consent of the Managing
Member and prohibits the withdrawal of Additional Members; (f) the Additional

such Additional Member and that the Company is under no obligation to make any
such distributions to such Additional Member to pay any related taxes; and (g)

the covenants and agreements set forth in Sections 4.1 (Liability of Additional

and the Investment Agreement, together with the exhibits attached hereto or
thereto, supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties

Member. Any such Person may conclusively rely on a certificate of authority
signed by the Managing Member and may conclusively rely on the due authorization
of any instrument signed by the Managing Member in the name and on behalf of the
Company or the Managing Member.

<PAGE>

ARTICLE I
MERGER
------
At the Effective Time, the Partnership shall be merged with and into
the Company, the separate existence of the Partnership shall cease, the Company
shall continue in existence and the Merger shall in all respects have the
effects provided for by the Massachusetts LP Act and the Delaware LLC Act.
Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and the Partnership shall take
all such action as shall be necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the
Merger. If at any time after the Effective Time, the Company shall consider or
be advised that any further assignments, conveyances or assurances in law are
necessary or desirable to carry out the provisions hereof, the proper members,
managers, officers or other agents of the Company, as authorized agents and
attorneys-in-fact for the Partnership (and acting in the name of the Company or
the Partnership), shall execute and deliver any and all proper deeds,
assignments, and assurances in law, and do all such additional things necessary
or proper to carry out the provisions hereof.
ARTICLE II
TERMS OF TRANSACTION
--------------------
At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action
on the part of the holders thereof, (i) the partnership interests in the
Partnership outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, held by (a) the
general partners of the Partnership (the "General Partners"), (b) the "Original
Limited Partners" (as defined in the Partnership's Amended Agreement of Limited
Partnership, dated as of June 1, 1982, as amended from time to time (the
"Partnership Agreement")) and (c) the limited partners of the Partnership who
are, at the Effective Time, directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or
under common control with the Company, Equity Resources Group Incorporated or
the General Partners ("the Affiliate Limited Partners"), shall be canceled and
retired and shall cease to exist, (ii) the partnership interests of limited
partners of the Partnership who are not Affiliate Limited Partners (the
"Unaffiliated Limited Partners") outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time shall be canceled and converted into and represent the right to receive in
exchange therefor $[_____] per "Unit" (as defined in the Partnership Agreement),
without interest thereon, payable by the Surviving Entity to the holder of such
Unit (as reflected on the records of the Partnership at the Effective Time) upon
receipt by the Surviving Entity of the Proof of Ownership Form hereto, a
Substitute Form W-9 and any other additional documentation necessary or
desirable to complete the conversion of the Units required which the Surviving
Entity shall reasonably request from the holder, (iii) the limited liability
company interests held by the members of the Company outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall remain the outstanding limited liability
company interests of such members of the Company, and such members shall
continue as the members of the Surviving Entity.
<PAGE>

Neither the Surviving Entity nor any other party hereto shall be liable
to a holder of Units for any payments made to a public official pursuant to
applicable abandoned property laws. The Surviving Company shall be entitled to
deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable to a holder of Units
pursuant to the Merger any taxes or other amounts as are required by applicable
law, including without limitation Sections 3406 and 1445 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the
Surviving Entity, they shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as
having been paid to the holder of the Units in respect of which such deduction
and withholding was made.
After the Effective Time, the transfer books of the Partnership shall
be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records
of the Partnership of the Units that were outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, each holder of a Unit which was
converted into the right to receive cash pursuant to Article II hereof shall be
deemed to have withdrawn as a limited partner and shall have no further interest
in the Partnership or the Surviving Entity or any allocations or distributions
of income, property or otherwise, other than the right to receive the amount as
provided in this Article II.
No appraisal rights shall be available to holders of Units in
connection with the Merger.

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT

Agreement of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time
shall be the Certificate of Formation and Limited Liability Company Agreement of
the Surviving Entity.
ARTICLE IV

---------------------
From and after the Effective Time, and until their successors are duly

forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part

and will use its reasonable best efforts to not permit any Person under such

Unitholder has the power of disposition, whether now or hereafter acquired,
without the prior written consent of the Company and Berkshire. Each Unitholder
hereby agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions by the
Partnership against the transfer of any Units inconsistent with the terms of

ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS

covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination.

acquires the right to vote any additional partnership interests of the

instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.
Section 5.6 Severability. If any term or other provision of this
Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or law,

nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal
substance of this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to
any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereby shall negotiate in
good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the
parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law
in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the terms of this Agreement remain
