Item 2. Acquisition or disposition of assets
The registrant is a California Limited Partnership. On December 27, 1995
the registrant refinanced its Mission Park property to take advantage of an
opportunity to pay off the existing $12.3 million loan on the property for
the discounted amount of $10.2 million, pursuant to a Loan Pay-off
Agreement with the existing lender. This effectively created approximately
an additional $2 million in equity in the property, and lowered the monthly
debt service payments on the property by approximately $20,000 to
approximately $73,000 per month. With this new financing, the property
generates a positive cash flow, and is in a much better position to meet
its ongoing financial obligations.
One of the requirements of the new lender was that the property be held by
a single asset entity with at least one bankruptcy-remote general partner.
Therefore, in order to obtain the new financing and take advantage of the
discounted pay-off opportunity, the partnership had to transfer title of the
property to a new transparent subpartnership called IGP X Mission Park
Associates, L.P., a California limited partnership ("IGP X MPA") pursuant to
Sections 5.1.2 and 5.1.3 of the registrant's Amended and Restated Agreement
of Limited Partnership. The sole limited partner of IGP X MPA is the
registrant, Income Growth Partners, Ltd. X. Its general partners are
Income Growth Management, Inc., a California corporation (also the General
Partner of Income Growth Partners, Ltd. X) and a new corporation, IGP X
Mission Park, Inc., a California corporation (that is bankruptcy remote).
The new subpartnership, IGP X MPA is transparent to Income Growth Partners,
Ltd. X, because as the sole limited partner of IGP X MPA, Income Growth
Partners, Ltd. X receives 99% of all net income and losses generated by the
partnership. Furthermore the remaining 1% of net income and loss is
allocated to the General Partner, IGP X Mission Park, Inc., of which Income
Growth Partners, Ltd. X is the sole shareholder.
The Agreement of Limited partnership for IGP X Mission Park Associates,
L.P. is substantially similar to that of Income Growth Partners, Ltd. X,
with the exception of separateness covenants and single asset entity
provisions that were included at the request of the new lender. A copy of
the Articles of Incorporation for IGP X Mission Park, Inc., and a copy of
the Agreement of Limited Partnership for IGP X MPA are attached hereto as
exhibits 3.1 and 4.3. The new lender is not related to the registrant or
any of its affiliates.
The new loan on the property is in the principal amount of $10,200,000 at a
fixed interest rate of 7.76% per year, amortized over 30 years, all due and
payable in ten years, with monthly principal and interest payments of
approximately $73,145. The new loan incorporates a five year "lockout"
period with an equivalency yield prepayment penalty. Thereafter there is a
diminishing prepayment penalty in years 6-10 decreasing approximately
annually from 5% to 0% of the outstanding principal balance.
In order to complete the refinancing, it was necessary for the partnership
to pay off the remaining past-due property taxes on Mission Park of
approximately $152,350. The loan was obtained through ENA Corporation, a
licensed California Real Estate Broker that is an affiliate of the General
Partner, for which it received a loan origination fee of approximately
2
<PAGE>
$102,000 in the form of a promissory note from the partnership. In addition
the partnership incurred closing costs and other loan origination fees of
approximately $276,000. The new loan also required the partnership to set
aside approximately $86,325 in initial reserves for taxes, insurance, and
replacements.

2.1 Objectives. In the acquisition, operation and disposition
of the Properties, the Partnership's objectives shall be:
2.1.1 To preserve the Limited Partners' capital invested
in the Partnership;
2.1.2 To realize gains through potential appreciation in
the value of the Properties;
2.1.3 To increase the Partnership's equity in the

the Partnership substantially as an entirety (a) shall be
organized and existing under the laws of the United States of
America or any State or the District of Columbia, (b) shall
include in its organizational documents the same limitations set
forth in this subsection 2.2.6 and Article 14, and (c) shall
expressly assume the due and punctual performance of the
Partnership's obligations; and
(ii) immediately after giving effect to such
transaction, no default or event of default under any agreement
to which it is a party shall have been committed by this
Partnership and be continuing.
2.2.7 For so long as a mortgage lien exists on the
Property, the Partnership will not voluntarily commence a case
with respect to itself, as debtor, under the Federal Bankruptcy
Code or any similar federal or state statute without the
unanimous consent of all of the partners of the Partnership.

Property, no material amendment to this Partnership Agreement
may be made without first obtaining approval of the mortgagees
holding any first mortgage on the Property.
2.3 Reinvestments. The Partnership shall not use any Gross
Operating Revenues or Net Cash from Sales or Refinancings to

certificates of deposit or time deposits with, or banker's
acceptances from, banks or savings and loan associations;
2.4.2 Obligations of or guaranteed by the United States
Government, or of any of its agencies (including, without
limitation, such obligations coupled with a repurchase agreement
from a commercial bank); and
2.4.3 High-grade commercial paper rated A or better by
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. Any income earned from such
investments shall be added to Gross Operating Revenues.
2.5 Conflicts. General Partner Income Growth Management, Inc.
is in the business of acquiring, operating, managing, developing
and/or disposing of real estate, and may hereafter, from time to
time, act as a general partner, sponsor or manager for other real
estate limited partnerships or similar real estate investment
entities (hereinafter called "Other Purchasers") with investment
objectives and criteria comparable to those of the Partnership.
General Partner Income Growth Management, Inc. shall not be
obligated to identify or present any real estate acquisition to the
Partnership, or to refrain from presenting such acquisition to any
other Person (or making, or entering into an agreement for, such
acquisition itself).

DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS
4.1 Cash Distributions.
4.1.1 Distributable Cash from Operations. The General
Partner shall have the right to make distributions to Partners
from Distributable Cash from Operations in such amounts and at
such times as the General Partner determines to be appropriate,
consistent with sound business practices. Distributions made
from Distributable Cash from Operations for a fiscal year, if
any, shall be made in the following order of priority:
(1) First, 100% to the Limited Partner until it has
received during such fiscal year an amount equal to a
10% per annum noncumulative return on its Adjusted
Invested Capital. The distribution under this
Section 4.1.1(1) is referred to herein as the
"Operating Cash Preference"; and
(2) Second, thereafter, 99% to the Limited Partner
and 1% to the General Partner.
4.1.2 Distributable Cash from Sale or Refinancing.
Distributions of Distributable Cash from Sale or Refinancing of
a Property (other than sales made in connection with the
liquidation of the Partnership, the distribution of which is
governed by Section 9.3.1) or from Working Capital Reserves will
be made in the following order of priority:
(1) First, 100% to the Limited Partner, until it
has received an amount equal to its Adjusted Invested
Capital;
(2) Second, 100% to nonsubordinated fees,
compensation and debts payable to the General Partner;
(3) Third, thereafter, 100% to the Limited Partner
until it has received an amount which, when added to any
prior distributions to the Limited Partner from any source
whatsoever (other than distributions under
Section 4.1.2(1)-(2)), equals a 10% per annum cumulative,
but not compounded, return on its Adjusted Invested
Capital. The distribution under this Subsection 4.1.2(3)
is referred to herein as the "Preferred Return"; and
(4) After the distributions described in
Sections 4.1.2(1) - (3) have been made, remaining
Distributable Cash from Sale or Refinancing shall be
distributed 99% to the Limited Partner and 1% to the

4.2 Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss. For each fiscal
year, Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership shall be allocated
as follows:
4.2.1 Allocations of Net Income and Net Losses. For each
fiscal year, Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership shall be
allocated as follows:
(1) Net Losses. After giving effect to the special
allocations set forth in Section 4.2.1(3) hereof, Net
Losses for any fiscal year shall be allocated as follows:
(a) First, 99% to the Limited Partner and 1% to
the General Partner, except that Net Losses shall not
be allocated pursuant to this Section 4.2.1(1)(a) to
the extent such allocation would cause any Limited
Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at
the end of such fiscal year; and
(b) The balance, if any, to the General
Partner.
(2) Net Income. After giving effect to the special
allocations set forth in Section 4.2.1(3), hereof, Net
Income for any fiscal year shall be allocated as follows:
(a) First, 100% to the General Partner until
the aggregate Net Income allocated to the General
Partner pursuant to this Section 4.2.1(2)(a) for such
fiscal year and all previous fiscal years is equal to
the aggregate Net Losses allocated to the General
Partner pursuant to Section 4.2.1(1)(b) hereof for all
previous fiscal years; and
(b) The balance, if any, 1% to the General
Partner and 99% to the Limited Partner.
(3) Special Allocations.
(a) Qualified Income Offset. Except as
provided in Section 4.2.1(3)(c) but subject to
Section 4.2.1(3)(f), in the event the Limited Partner
unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or
distributions described in Treasury Regulations
Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-
1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items
of Partnership income and gain shall be specially
allocated to the Limited Partner in an amount and
manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required
by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital
Account Deficits created by such adjustments,
allocations or distributions as quickly as possible.
(b) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any
Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the
end of any Partnership fiscal year, each such Partner
shall be specially allocated items of Partnership
gross income and gain, in the amount of such Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible.
(c) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section 4 (other than
Section 4.2.1(f)), if there is a net decrease in
Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership fiscal
year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items
of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if
necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to the
greater of (i) the portion of such Partner's share of
the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain,
determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv)(f), that is allocable to
the disposition of Property subject to Nonrecourse
Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv)(e), or (ii) if
such Partner would otherwise have an Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit at the end of such year, an amount
sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit. Allocations pursuant to the previous
sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective
amounts required to be allocated to each Partner. The
items to be so allocated shall be determined in
accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-
1T(b)(4)(iv)(e). This Section 4.2.1(3)(c) is intended
to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement
in the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith. To the extent permitted by
the Treasury Regulations and for purposes of this
Section 4.2.1(3)(c) only, each Partner's Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to
any other allocations pursuant to this Section 4 with
respect to such fiscal year and without regard to any
net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain during such
fiscal year.
(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse
Deductions for any fiscal year or other period shall
be specially allocated 1% to the General Partner and
99% to the Limited Partner.
(e) Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the
extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any
Partnership asset pursuant to Internal Revenue Code
Section 734(b) or Internal Revenue Code Section 743(b)
is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account
in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such
adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as
an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis
of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases
such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially
allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with
the manner in which its Capital Accounts are required
to be adjusted pursuant to such section of the
Treasury Regulations.
(f) Allocations to Qualified
Plans. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary:
(A) No distributive share of overall Partnership
loss allocable to a Partner that is not a
Qualified Plan shall exceed such Partner's
smallest distributive share of overall Partnership
income for any fiscal year and any such loss that
cannot be allocated because of this provision
shall be allocated to Partners that are Qualified
Plans; and
(B) No distributive share of overall Partnership
income allocable to a Partner that is a Qualified
Plan shall exceed such Partner's smallest
distributive share of overall Partnership loss for
any taxable year, provided, however, that overall
Partnership income shall be allocated among
Partners that are Qualified Plans to the maximum
extent permissible under Section 514(c)(9)(E)(ii)
of the Internal Revenue Code so that on a
cumulative basis, overall Partnership income
allocable to Partners that are Qualified Plans
pursuant to this Section 4.2.1(3)(f)(B) equals the
amount of overall Partnership losses specially
allocated to such Partners pursuant to
Section 4.2.1(3)(f)(A) above.
(g) Priority Allocations. After giving effect
to all other special allocations in this
Section 4.2.1(3), all or a portion of the remaining
items of Partnership income or gain for the year, if
any, shall be specially allocated to the Partners in
proportion to the cumulative distributions of both
(i) the 10% Preferred Return pursuant to
Section 4.1.2(3); and (ii) the Operating Cash
Preference pursuant to Section 4.1.1(1) from the
commencement of the Partnership to a date 30 days
after the end of such fiscal year until the aggregate
amounts allocated to each such Partner pursuant to
this Section 4.2.1(3)(g) for such fiscal year and all
previous fiscal years is equal to the cumulative
amount of such distributions to such Partner. In
addition, in connection with a sale upon liquidation
of the Partnership, as described in Section 9.3, there
shall be allocated to each Limited Partner, an amount
of Net Income equal to the amount to be distributed to
such Partner under Section 9.3.1(c), (e) and (f),
provided that such allocation shall not duplicate the
allocation described in the preceding sentence.
(h) Gain. After giving effect to all of the
special allocations in this Section 4.2.1(3), any
remaining Partnership gain for any fiscal year
resulting from any Sales or other dispositions of
Partnership Property shall be allocated in the
following order and priority:
(A) First, to the Limited Partner, in proportion
to the sum of its Units, until the sum of the
cumulative gains allocated pursuant to this
Section 4.2.1(3)(h)(A) for the current and all
previous fiscal years and the cumulative Net
Income allocated to the Limited Partner pursuant
to Section 4.2.1(2) hereof for the current and all
previous fiscal years is equal to the cumulative
Net Losses allocated pursuant to
Section 4.2.1(1)(a) to the Limited Partner for the
current and all previous fiscal years;
(B) Second, 99% to the Limited Partner and 1% to
the General Partner in a total amount equal to the
excess, if any, of (i) the cumulative
distributions pursuant to Sections 4.1.1(3) and
4.1.1(5) hereof from the commencement of the
Partnership to the date 30 days after the end of
such fiscal year over (ii) the sum of the
cumulative Net Income allocated pursuant to
Section 4.2.1(2)(b) hereof for the current and all
previous fiscal years plus the cumulative gains
allocated pursuant to this Section 4.2.1(3)(h)(B)
for all previous fiscal years; and
(C) The balance, if any, 99% to the Limited
Partner in proportion to the sum of its Original
Invested Capital, and 1% to the General Partner.
(i) Net Income Arising From Sale Upon
Liquidation of Partnership. After giving effect to
the special allocations set forth in Section 4.2.1(3)
(other than those set forth in Section 4.2.1(3)(g) and
4.2.1(3)(h)) hereof, Net Income arising from a Sale
upon liquidation of the Partnership shall be allocated
as follows:
(A) First, 100% to the General Partner until the
aggregate Net Income allocated to the General
Partner pursuant to Section 4.2.1(2)(a) and this
Section 4.2.1(3)(i)(A) for such fiscal year and
all previous fiscal years is equal to the
aggregate Net Losses allocated to the General
Partner pursuant to Section 4.2.1(1)(b) hereof for
all previous fiscal years;
(B) Second, the balance, if any, 1% to the
General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partner
until the aggregate Net Income allocated to the
Partners pursuant to Section 4.2.1(2)(b) and this
Section 4.2.1(3)(i)(B) for such fiscal year and
all previous fiscal years is equal to the
aggregate Net Losses allocated to the Partners
pursuant to Section 4.2.1(1)(a) for all previous
fiscal years;
(C) Third, Net Income arising from a Sale upon
liquidation of the Partnership shall be allocated
pursuant to Section 4.2.1(3)(g);
(D) Fourth, Net Income arising from a Sale upon
liquidation of the Partnership shall be allocated
pursuant to Section 4.2.1(3)(h); and
(E) Any remaining Net Income arising from a Sale
upon liquidation of the Partnership shall be
allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the
Limited Partner.
(j) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. All
Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or
other period shall be specially allocated to the
Partner who bears the economic risk of loss (as set
forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-
1T(b)(4)(iv)(k)(1)) with respect to the Partner
Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse
Deductions are attributable in accordance with
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv)(h).
(k) Partner Minimum Gain
Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Section 4 (other than Section 4.2.1(3)(c) and
Section 4.2.1(3)(f)), if there is a net decrease in
Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner
Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership fiscal year,
each Partner who has a share of the Partner Minimum
Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt,
determined in accordance with Section 1.704-
1T(b)(4)(iv)(h)(5), shall be specially allocated items
of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if
necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to the
greater of (i) the portion of such Partner's share of
the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable
to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in
accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-
1T(b)(4)(iv)(h)(5), that is allocable to the
disposition of Property subject to such Partner
Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv)(h)(4),
or (ii) if such Partner would otherwise have an
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of such
year, an amount sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit. Allocations pursuant to the
previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the
respective amounts required to be allocated to each
Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so
allocated shall be determined in accordance with
Section 1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv)(h)(4) of the Treasury
Regulations. This Section 4.2.1(3)(k) is intended to
comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in
the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith. Solely for purposes of this
Section 4.2.1(3)(k), each Partner's Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other
allocations pursuant to this Section 4 with respect to
such fiscal year, other than allocations pursuant to
Section 4.2.1(3)(c).
(l) Curative Allocations. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, the Regulatory
Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating
items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the
Partners so that, to the extent possible, the net
amount of such allocations of other items and the
Regulatory Allocations to each Partner shall be equal
to the net amount that would have been allocated to
each such Partner if the Regulatory Allocations had
not occurred ("Curative Allocations"). For purposes
of applying the foregoing sentence, (i) Curative
Allocations shall only be made with respect to
allocations pursuant to Section 4.2.1(3)(e) to the
extent the General Partner reasonably determines that
such allocations will otherwise be inconsistent with
the economic agreement among the Partners, (ii) no
Curative Allocations attributable to Nonrecourse
Regulatory Allocations shall be made prior to the
Partnership fiscal year during which there is a net
decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, and then only to
the extent necessary to avoid any potential economic
distortions caused by such net decrease in Partnership
Minimum Gain, (iii) Curative Allocations shall be
deferred with respect to allocations pursuant to
Section 4.2.1(3)(d) to the extent the General Partner
reasonably determines that such allocations are likely
to be offset by subsequent allocations pursuant to
Section 4.2.1(3)(c), (iv) no Curative Allocation
attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Regulatory
Allocations shall be made with respect to allocations
pursuant to Section 4.2.1(3)(j) relating to a
particular Partner Nonrecourse Debt prior to the
Partnership fiscal year during which there is a net
decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such
Partner Nonrecourse Debt, and then only to the extent
necessary to avoid any potential economic distortions
caused by such net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain,
and (v) Curative Allocations shall be deferred with
respect to allocations pursuant to Section 4.2.1(3)(j)
relating to a particular Partner Nonrecourse Debt to
the extent the General Partner reasonably determines
that such allocations are likely to be offset by
subsequent allocations pursuant to
Section 4.2.1(3)(k). The General Partner shall have
reasonable discretion to apply, and divide among the
Partners, the Regulatory Allocations in whatever order
is likely to minimize the economic distortions that
might otherwise result from the Regulatory
Allocations.
4.2.2 Recapture Income. Each Partner's allocable share
of Partnership Net Income which is characterized as ordinary
income pursuant to Section 1245 or 1250 of the Internal Revenue
Code shall be allocated to the Partners to whom the Net Income
or Net Loss which included the prior corresponding depreciation
deductions were allocated, such allocation to be made pro rata
to the Partners in accordance with the manner in which such Net
Income or Net Losses were allocated.
4.2.3 Allocation of Partnership Items. Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, whenever a proportionate
part of Net Income or Net Loss is allocated to a Partner, every
item of income, gain, loss or deduction entering into the
computation of such Net Income and Net Loss shall be considered
allocated, and every item of credit or tax preference related to
such Net Income and Net Loss and applicable to the period during
which such Net Income or Net Loss was realized shall be
allocated to the Partner in the same proportion.
4.2.4 Special Allocations to General Partner. To the
extent compensation paid to the General Partner under this
Partnership Agreement is determined not to be a guaranteed
payment under Section 707(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, and
is not paid to a General Partner other than in its capacity as
a partner within the meaning of Section 707(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code, the General Partner shall be specially allocated
gross income of the Partnership at a time and in an amount equal
to the amount of such compensation, and the General Partner's
Capital Account shall be adjusted to reflect the payment of such
compensation. Such allocations shall be shared equally between
the General Partners.
4.2.5 Allocation Among Limited Partners. Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, all allocations to the
Limited Partners shall be in the ratio of the number of Units
which are held by each such Limited Partner on the date of such
allocation (which allocation date shall be deemed to be the last
day of each month) to the total number of Limited Partner Units
issued and outstanding as of such date, and, except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, without regard to the number of days
during such month that the Limited Partner Units were held by
each Limited Partner. For purposes of this Section 4.2 only, an
Assignee of Record shall be treated as a Limited Partner.
4.2.6 Assignment. In the event of the assignment of a
Unit as a result of which the Assignee becomes an Assignee of
Record, the Net Income or Net Loss and Distributions during the
period commencing with the last allocation date before the
assignment shall be apportioned as between the Partner and his
Assignee based upon the number of months of its respective
ownership during the year in which the assignment occurs,
without regard to the results of the Partnership's operations
during the period before or after such assignment. An Assignee
of a Unit who becomes an Assignee of Record during the first 15
days of the month will receive any Distributions and allocations
relative to such month. An Assignee of a Unit who becomes an
Assignee of Record on or after the 16th day of the month will be
treated as acquiring his Unit on the first day of the following
month.
4.2.7 Quarterly Distributions. The Partnership intends
to make quarterly distributions (within 30 days after the first
days of January, April, July and October of each year) of
substantially all Distributable Cash available as determined by
the General Partner, subject to the following:
(i) distributions may be restricted or suspended for limited
periods when the General Partner determines in its absolute
discretion that it is in the best interests of the Partnership;
and (ii) all distributions are subject to the payment of
Partnership expenses and to the maintenance of reasonable
reserves for debt service, alterations, repairs, improvements,
maintenance and replacement of furniture and fixtures.
4.2.8 Power of General Partner to Vary Allocations of Net
Income and Net Loss. It is the intent of the Partners that each
Partner's distributive share of Net Income or Net Loss and tax
credits be determined and allocated in accordance with
Section 4.2 of this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by
Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, if the
Partnership is advised that the allocations provided in
Section 4.2 of this Agreement are unlikely to be respected for
federal income tax purposes, the General Partner is granted the
power in Section 5.1.14 of this Agreement to amend the
allocation provisions of this Agreement, on advice of
accountants and legal counsel, to the minimum extent necessary
to effect the plan of allocations and distributions provided in
this Agreement and yet have such allocations respected for
federal income tax purposes.
4.2.9 Consent of Partners. The methods hereinabove set
forth by which the distributions and allocations of Net Income
and Net Loss are made and apportioned are hereby expressly
consented to by each Partner as a condition of becoming a
Partner.
4.3 Working Capital Reserve. Until its dissolution and
liquidation, the Partnership shall use its best efforts to maintain
the Working Capital Reserve, Gross Operating Revenues and Cash from
Sale or Refinancing.
ARTICLE 5

on such terms and conditions as it deems, in its absolute
discretion, to be in the best interests of the Partnership:

herein, to amend this Agreement without any action on the part

or otherwise to amend the provisions of Sections 4.1, 4.2 and
9.3 of this Agreement, if the Partnership is advised at any time
by the Partnership's accountants or legal counsel that the
allocations and distributions provided in such sections are
unlikely to be respected for federal income tax purposes, either
because of promulgation of Treasury Regulations under
Section 704 of the Internal Revenue Code or other developments
in the law. The General Partner is empowered to amend such
provisions to the minimum extent necessary in accordance with
the advice of the accountants and counsel to effect the plan of
allocations and distributions provided in this Agreement and yet
have the allocations respected for federal income tax purposes.
New allocations made by the General Partner in reliance upon the
advice of the accountants or counsel described above shall be
deemed to be made pursuant to the fiduciary obligation of the
General Partner to the Partnership and the Limited Partner, and
no such new allocation shall give rise to any claim or cause of
action by any Limited Partner;
5.1.15 In the event that the State of California amends
the CRLPA in any manner and, as a result of such amendment, tax
counsel to the Partnership is unable to give the Partnership an
opinion to the effect that the Partnership will be treated as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes and not as an
association taxable as a corporation, then in the sole
discretion of the General Partner, to reconstitute the
Partnership under the laws of another state;
5.1.16 To require in any Partnership contracts that the
General Partner shall not have any personal liability thereon,
but that the Person or entity contracting with the Partnership
is to look solely to the Partnership and its assets for
satisfaction;
5.1.17 To execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all
instruments to effectuate the foregoing, and to take all such
action in connection therewith as the General Partner shall deem
necessary or appropriate. Any and all documents or instruments

Partner;
5.1.18 To represent the Partnership and Partners as "Tax

Partnership items in question with the United States Tax Court,
the appropriate United States District Court or the United
States Claims Court;

Plans and IRAs Unit valuation information which the General

information is otherwise readily available from records actually
maintained by the Partnership; and
In the exercise of its powers and authority, the General
Partner shall have fiduciary responsibility for the safekeeping and
use of all funds and other assets of the Partnership, whether or
not the same are in the immediate possession or control of the
General Partner. The General Partner shall not employ, or permit
another to employ, any such funds or assets in any manner except
for the purpose of benefiting the Partnership.
5.2 Duties of the General Partner. In addition to any other
obligations imposed upon it by this Agreement, the General Partner

5.2.2 Acquisition of the Property. The General Partner
shall have examined, investigated and approved the Property
prior to its acquisition.
5.2.3 Management of the Property. The General Partner
shall at all times be responsible for providing to the

operation of the Property, monitoring and projecting the
economic results of the operation of the Property, monitoring
all lease agreements, management agreements, maintenance
agreements and other such contracts, and making periodic
determinations of the appropriate amount of the Working Capital
Reserve. To the extent that the General Partner engages third
Persons, including Affiliates, to manage the Property, the
General Partner shall oversee such management and shall pay the
fees charged by such third Persons; provided, however, that

amounts as the General Partner deems appropriate, but no less
(and in deductible amounts no greater) than customarily
maintained for properties similar to the Property. Any such
policies of insurance may, at the election of the General
Partner, name the General Partner as an additional insured
thereunder, provided, however, that the Partnership shall obtain
no such policy naming the General Partner as additional insured
if any of the terms of such policy have the effect of
indemnifying the General Partner against liabilities not
permitted to be indemnified under any applicable law or
regulation.

use its best efforts to maintain a net worth sufficient to
satisfy currently applicable Treasury Regulations and rulings,

Revenue Code, as amended), concerning treatment of the
Partnership for federal income tax purposes as a partnership and
not as an association taxable as a corporation.

those relating to the Partnership, including, without limitation,
the acquisition, development, management, operation, maintenance,
refinancing and sale, both for itself and for others, of real

5.6 Power of Attorney. The Limited Partner hereby irrevocably
makes, constitutes and appoints the General Partner with full power

file and publish, on behalf of it and of the Partnership, the
following:
5.6.1 The Certificate of Limited Partnership, fictitious
business name statements and any and all other certificates or
instruments that are required to be filed pursuant to
Section 1.5 hereof;
5.6.2 Upon the termination of the Partnership, a
certificate of cancellation of the Partnership and such other
instruments and documents required to effect such termination or

of this Agreement and carry out fully its provisions, in
accordance with its terms.

coupled with the interest of the General Partner in the Partnership
and its assets, and is therefore irrevocable and shall survive the
death, incapacity, termination or dissolution of any Limited
Partner granting the power, or the assignment by any Limited
Partner of all or any of his Units. Such power of attorney may be
exercised by the General Partner by and through one or more of the
officers of such General Partner, or by listing the names of all of
the Limited Partners executing any instrument subscribed with a
single signature for such General Partner as attorney-in-fact for
them, or by such other method as may be required or requested in
connection with the recording or filing of any instrument or other
document so executed. Each instrument and other document executed
under the power of attorney granted hereby shall be in such form as
the General Partner and counsel for the Partnership deem
appropriate.

authority, but not the obligation, to make or revoke, on behalf of

interests of the Limited Partner.

calendar year, and the Partnership's tax year shall be the same as
its fiscal year.
5.9 Banking. All funds of the Partnership shall be deposited
in a separate and distinct bank account or accounts, as determined
by the General Partner, and all withdrawals from such accounts
shall be made upon checks signed by the General Partner (or by such
other Person or Persons as the General Partner may authorize) or by
such other method(s) of withdrawal as the General Partner may
authorize.
ARTICLE 6
COMPENSATION OF GENERAL PARTNER AND EXPENSES
6.1 General Partner's Compensation. In addition to the
distributions to the General Partner provided for in Section 4.1
hereof for services rendered by the General Partner to the
Partnership, the General Partner shall be compensated as follows:
6.1.1 Acquisition Fees. For services rendered in
connection with an acquisition of real property by the
Partnership, the General Partner, or an Affiliate of the General
Partner, shall be entitled to receive from the Partnership, at
the time the Partnership acquires a Property, an Acquisition Fee
in an amount equal to 3% of the Purchase Price of the Property
being acquired by the Partnership, subject to the lesser of the
following limitations:
(1) Any such Acquisition Fee shall not exceed the
normal and competitive rate for similar services in the
locality where the services are provided.
(2) The total of such Acquisition Fee paid pursuant
to this Section 6.1.1 plus any other Acquisition Fee known
to the General Partner to be paid to any person by any
person in connection with the acquisition or development of
the Property by the Partnership shall not exceed an amount
equal to the normal and competitive rates for similar
services in the locality where the services are provided.
The Acquisition Fee paid to the General Partner shall be
reduced to the extent that Acquisition Fees to be paid to
any Person by any Person in connection with the acquisition
or development of the Property by the Partnership exceeds
the maximum set forth in this Section 6.1.1.
(3) The sum of the Purchase Price of any Property
acquired by the Partnership and the Acquisition Fee shall
not exceed the fair market value of the Property as
substantiated by an independent, qualified appraisal.
6.1.2 Management Fee. In the event that the General
Partner (or its Affiliates) renders services to the Partnership
in connection with the management and operation of the
Properties, the General Partner (or its Affiliates) shall be
entitled to receive a monthly Management Fee equal to 5% of the
Gross Property Revenues earned during the calendar month for
which such fee is paid. Each such fee shall be paid on or
before the thirtieth (30th) day after the end of the calendar
month for which it is payable. Notwithstanding the above, such
Management Fee paid to the General Partner or its Affiliates
shall be competitive in price and terms with that which would be
charged by a nonaffiliated Person for comparable services which
could reasonably be made available. In addition, in the event
any Management Fee is paid by the Partnership to a nonaffiliated
Person for similar management services, the total of all such
fees payable to all Persons shall not exceed a single standard
property management fee, as provided herein.
6.1.3 Subordinated Real Estate Commissions on Sale of
Partnership Real Estate. The General Partner shall be entitled
to receive a fee in connection with any sale of the Property
effected in whole or in part through the efforts of the General
Partner, or any Affiliate, including, without limitation, sales
in which the General Partner is instrumental in (i) identifying
or interesting the buyer in the Property, (ii) negotiating the
terms of such sale, (iii) investigating the then available
market for sale of the Property and determining what offer the
Partnership should make or accept in connection with a
prospective sale thereof, (iv) investigating the financial
condition, experience and reputation of the buyer, where any
portion of the Purchase Price for such sale is to be deferred,
or (v) performing any services that are customarily performed in
connection with sales of real estate by real estate brokers
acting for the seller. Nothing contained in this Section 6.1.3
shall be deemed to give any General Partner or any Affiliate of
the General Partner an exclusive right to list or sell any
Property. The fee (if any) paid to the General Partner under
this Section 6.1.3 shall be the same as the customary fee the
Partnership would pay to an independent real estate broker for
the sale of the Property in question, subject to and limited by
the following conditions:
(1) With respect to any sale of a Property by the
Partnership on which the General Partner will collect a fee
under this Section 6.1.3, the aggregate amount of such fee
and all real estate brokerage commissions or similar fees
paid to other Persons shall not exceed 6% of the contract
price for the Property and the amount payable to the
General Partner shall not exceed 3% of the contract price;
and
(2) Payment of any such fees to the General Partner
(other than payments in the form of promissory notes that
are subordinated to the return of Capital Contributions to
the Limited Partner) shall be deferred until the Limited
Partner has received, in distributions under either
Section 4.1.2 or 9.3.1 hereof, an aggregate amount equal to
its Adjusted Invested Capital plus a 10% per annum
cumulative, but not compounded, return on its Adjusted
Invested Capital. After such condition has been satisfied,
however, such fees shall be paid to the General Partner out
of Distributable Cash from Sale or Refinancing.
6.2 Operating Expenses.
6.2.1 Payment Generally. Subject to limitations
expressly set forth in Section 6.2.2 hereof and elsewhere in
this Agreement, the Partnership shall pay all of the costs and
expenses incurred in acquiring, operating, maintaining,
refinancing and disposing of the Properties, conducting the
other affairs of the Partnership and dissolving, liquidating,
winding up and terminating the Partnership. All such
Partnership costs and expenses shall be billed directly to, and
paid in the first instance by, the Partnership, except for costs
reimbursable to the General Partner under Section 6.2.2 hereof.
6.2.2 Reimbursements to General Partner. Except as
provided in this Section 6.2.2, the Partnership shall not
reimburse the General Partner or any Affiliate for its general
or administrative overhead or any of the expenses of any of the
officers and directors of the General Partner and Affiliates not
directly attributable to the rendering of services or providing
facilities to the Partnership, and no payment shall be made for
services for which the General Partner (or any Affiliate) are
entitled to compensation by way of any Management Fees or
subordinated real estate commissions on sales of the Properties
or the General Partner's interest in the Partnership.
Notwithstanding the foregoing general prohibition on
reimbursement to the General Partner and Affiliates, however,
the Partnership shall reimburse a General Partner or an
Affiliate, as set forth below, for all accounting,
documentation, professional (including, but not limited to,
regulatory reporting and legal services), recording and Partner
communications expenses incurred for the Partnership. Such
expenses shall be reimbursed in amounts equal to the lower of
(i) such General Partner's or Affiliate's actual costs for the
services or facilities provided, or (ii) 90% of the rates
customarily charged for similar services or facilities in the
same or comparable geographic location by Persons dealing at
arm's-length and having no affiliation with the Partnership.
"Actual cost" as used herein means the pro rata cost of
personnel or facilities including an allocation for the direct
cost associated therewith (as if such personnel were part-time
employees of the Partnership or such facilities were time-shared
among the Partnership and others), all based on the amount of
time such personnel spent or such facilities were used on
business or affairs of the Partnership. The General Partner has
an adequate staff to render the required administrative
services. For purposes of reimbursement to a General Partner or
Affiliate, accounting, documentation, professional and recording
expenses of the Partnership shall not include the cost of time
devoted to the Partnership's business affairs by any executive
personnel of a General Partner or Affiliate who will be involved
in making investment and other management decisions for the
Partnership (or by any of its successors in such role), but may
include time spent by officers and other employees of the
General Partner and Affiliates who do not have such executive
responsibility. The provision of any services to the
Partnership shall be embodied in a written contract describing
services to be rendered and compensation to be paid therefor and
providing that the contract will be terminable without penalty
upon 60 days notice.
6.3 Indemnification of General Partner.
6.3.1 Indemnification Generally. The Partnership its
receiver or trustee shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend
the General Partner and its shareholders, directors, officers
and other employees from and against any claim, liability or
expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees) suffered by them by virtue of any act performed or omitted
to be performed by them in connection with the Partnership's
activities, provided, that if such claim, liability or expense
arises out of any action or inaction by the General Partner, or
other related Person, the General Partner must have determined,
in good faith, that such course of conduct was in the best
interests of the Partnership, and such course of conduct must
not have constituted negligence or misconduct by the General
Partner. All judgments against a General Partner, concerning
which such General Partner is entitled to indemnification, shall
be satisfied from Partnership assets before such General Partner
shall be held responsible.
6.3.2 Restrictions on Indemnification. Notwithstanding
Section 6.3.1 hereof, the Partnership shall not indemnify any
General Partner or shareholder, director, officer or other
employee thereof, for liability imposed or expenses incurred in
connection with any claim arising out of a violation of the
Securities Act of 1933, or any other federal or state securities
law, with respect to the offer and sale of the Units.
Indemnification will be allowed for settlements and related
expenses in lawsuits alleging securities law violations, and for
expenses incurred in successfully defending such law suits,
provided that a court either:
(1) approves the settlement and finds that
indemnification of the settlement and related costs should
be made; or
(2) approves indemnification of litigation costs,
if a successful defense is made.
If the General Partner seek indemnification, it will apprise the
court of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and applicable state securities laws commissions (including the
California Commissioner of Corporations) with respect to
indemnification for securities law violations, before seeking
court approval for indemnification.
6.3.3 Indemnification Limited to Partnership Assets. Any
indemnification hereunder shall be made only to the extent of
the Partnership's assets, and no Limited Partner shall be
personally liable on such indemnification. Any indemnification
shall be fully subordinated to any obligations respecting the
Property and shall not constitute a claim against the
Partnership in the event that cash flow is insufficient to pay
such obligations.
6.4 Exoneration of General Partner for Acts in Good
Faith. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, and to the
maximum extent permissible under applicable law, the Partnership
and of the Limited Partner hereby waives and releases the General
Partner, its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, and
other agents from any and all claims and liabilities by reason of
adverse results to the Partnership or any Limited Partner of any
act or failure to act on the part of the General Partner, in the
performance of any duty of the General Partner hereunder, so long
as the General Partner was proceeding in good faith to promote the
best interests of the Partnership and did not act in a manner which
would constitute negligence or misconduct.
ARTICLE 7
LIMITED PARTNER INTEREST
7.1 Limited Liability. Except as otherwise provided by
applicable state law, a Limited Partner shall not be liable for any
of the debts, liabilities, contracts or other obligations of the
Partnership, except to the extent of the Capital Contribution made
by him in return for the Units. Once such Capital Contribution is
fully paid to the Partnership, in cash, a Limited Partner shall not
be obligated to make any further contribution to, or be subject to
any assessment by, the Partnership.
7.2 Withdrawal and Return of Limited Partner's Capital
Contribution. Except upon the dissolution and liquidation of the
Partnership, no Limited Partner shall be entitled to withdraw any
of his Capital Contribution, and no Limited Partner shall have the
right to receive a return of his Capital Contribution at any time
in property other than cash.
7.3 Role of Limited Partners. The Limited Partners shall take
no part in, nor in any manner interfere with, the management,
control, conduct or operation of the Partnership, its business or
assets, and shall have no right or authority to act for or bind the
Partnership in any particular; provided, however, that the Limited
Partners shall have the right, by vote of a Majority-In-Interest
thereof, to:
7.3.1 Remove a General Partner, as provided in
Section 8.1 hereof;
7.3.2 Elect or approve a successor to any removed or
withdrawn General Partner, as provided in Section 8.3 hereof;
7.3.3 Dissolve the Partnership;
7.3.4 Approve any amendment of this Agreement, except as
otherwise provided in Section 12.2 hereof; and
7.3.5 Approve any proposed sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Partnership, except as permitted
without consent of the Limited Partners under
Subsection 5.3.2(1) hereof.
Any vote of the Limited Partners taken pursuant to this Section 7.3
may be taken either at a meeting of the Limited Partners of Record,
to be called in accordance with Section 7.5 hereof or, without a
meeting in accordance with Section 7.10.
7.4 Unanimous Votes; Consent of General Partner. Each Limited
Partner shall be entitled to one vote for each Unit he owns and to
the equivalent fraction of one vote for each fraction of a Unit he
owns. Any amendment that would affect the compensation to be paid
to the General Partner under this Agreement or the General
Partner's interest in the Partnership, the election of an
additional General Partner when the General Partner will continue
as such, extension of the term of the Partnership and any amendment
that would affect the rights, powers or authorities of the General
Partner as provided for in this Agreement, shall also require the
consent of the General Partner to pass and become effective.
Election of a General Partner or election to continue to be a
General Partner (other than by removal) where there is no remaining
General Partner, and any amendment that would reduce the economic
interest of the Limited Partners in the Partnership or increase its
obligations or liabilities thereto shall require the consent of
each of the Limited Partners to pass and become effective.
7.5 Meetings of the Limited Partners. The General Partner may
at any time call for a meeting of the Partners, or for a vote
without a meeting, on matters on which the Limited Partners are
entitled to vote, and shall call for such a meeting (but not a vote
without a meeting) following receipt of a written request therefor
of Limited Partners holding 10% or more of the Units entitled to
vote as of the record date. Within 20 days (or as soon as
practicable if the date for the meeting specified in the request,
if any, is earlier) after receipt of such request, the General
Partner shall notify all Limited Partners of record as of the
record date of the Partnership meeting.
7.6 Notice. Written notice of each meeting shall be given to
each Limited Partner entitled to vote, either personally or by mail
or other means of written communication, charges prepaid, addressed
to such Limited Partner at his address appearing on the books of
the Partnership or given by him to the Partnership for the purpose
of notice or, if no such address appears or is given, at the
principal executive office of the Partnership, or by publication of
notice at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the
county in which such office is located. All such notices shall be
sent to each Limited Partner entitled thereto not less than 10 nor
more than 60 days before such meeting. The notice shall specify
the place, date and hour of the meeting and the general nature of
business to be transacted, and no other business shall be
transacted at the meeting. In addition, the notice shall state
such other matters, if any, as may be expressly required by law.
7.7 Adjourned Meeting and Notice Thereof. When a Limited
Partners' meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice
need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place
thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is
taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Partnership may transact any
business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.
If the adjournment is for more than 45 days or if after the
adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting,
a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each Limited
Partner of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
7.8 Quorum. Except as to matters as to which this Agreement
requires a greater vote, the presence in Person or by proxy of the
Persons entitled to vote a Majority-In-Interest of the Units shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The Partners
present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is
present may continue to transact business until adjournment,
notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Partners to leave less
than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is
approved by at least a Majority-In-Interest or such greater vote as
may be required by this Agreement or by law. In the absence of a
quorum, any meeting of Partners may be adjourned from time to time
by the vote of a majority of the Units represented either in Person
or by proxy, but no other business may be transacted, except as
provided above.
7.9 Consent of Absentees. The transactions of any meeting of
Partners, however called and noticed and wherever held, are as
valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and
notice, if a quorum is present either in Person or by proxy, and
if, either before or after the meeting, each of the Persons
entitled to vote, not present in Person or by proxy, signs a
written waiver of notice, or a consent to the holding of the
meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. All waivers,
consents and approvals shall be filed with the Partnership records
or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.
7.10 Action Without Meeting. Except as may otherwise be
provided in this Agreement, any action that may be taken at any
meeting of the Partners may be taken without a meeting if a consent
in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by
Partners having not less than the minimum number of votes that
would be necessary to authorize or take that action at a meeting at
which all Partners entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
In the event the Limited Partners are requested to consent on a
matter without a meeting, each Partner shall be given at least 10,
but not more than 60, days notice before the consummation of the
action to be authorized by such approval. In the event any General
Partner or Limited Partners representing more than 10% of the Units
request a meeting for the purpose of discussing or voting on the
matter, the notice of a meeting shall be given in the same manner
as required by Section 7.6 and no action shall be taken until the
meeting is held. Unless delayed in accordance with the provisions
of the preceding sentence, any action taken without a meeting will
be effective 15 days after the required minimum number of Partners
has signed the consent; however, the action will be effective
immediately if the General Partner and Limited Partners
representing at least 90% of the Units have signed the consent.
7.11 Record Dates. For purposes of determining the Partners
entitled to notice of any meeting or to vote or entitled to receive
any distributions or to exercise any rights in respect of any other
lawful matter, the General Partner or Limited Partners representing
more than 10% of the Units may fix in advance a record date, which
shall be not more than 60 nor less than 10 days prior to the date
of the meeting nor more than 60 days prior to any other action. If
no record date is fixed:
7.11.1 The record date for determining Partners entitled
to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Partners shall be at the
close of business on the business day next preceding the day on
which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of
business on the business day next preceding the day on which the
meeting is held;
7.11.2 The record date for determining Partners entitled
to give consent to Partnership action in writing without a
meeting shall be the day on which the first written consent is
given;
7.11.3 The record date for determining Partners for any
other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on
which the General Partner adopts it, or the sixtieth day prior
to the date of the other action, whichever is later; and
7.11.4 A determination of Partners of record entitled to
notice of or to vote at a meeting of Partners shall apply to any
adjournment of the meeting unless the General Partner, or the
Limited Partners who called the meeting, fix a new record date
for the adjourned meeting, but the General Partner, or such
Limited Partners, shall fix a new record date if the meeting is
adjourned for more than 45 days from the date set for the
original meeting.
7.12 Proxies. Except as may otherwise be provided in this
Agreement, every Person entitled to vote or execute consents shall
have the right to do so either in Person or by one or more agents
authorized by a written proxy executed by such Person or his duly
authorized agent and filed with the General Partner. No proxy
shall be valid after the expiration of 11 months from the date
thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy
continues in full force and effect until revoked as specified in
Section 705(b) of the California General Corporations Law or unless
it states that it is irrevocable. A proxy which states that it is
irrevocable is irrevocable for the period specified therein when it
is held by a Person specified in Section 705(e) of the California
General Corporations Law.
7.13 Chairman of Meeting. The General Partner may select
any Person to preside as Chairman of any meeting of Partners, and
if such Person shall be absent from the meeting, or fail or be
unable to preside, the General Partner may name any other Person in
substitution therefor as Chairman. In the absence of an express
selection by the General Partner of a Chairman or substitute
therefor, the General Partner's Chairman of the Board, President,
Vice President or Vice Presidents in order of its rank, Secretary,
or Chief Financial Officer, shall preside as Chairman, in that
order. The Chairman of the meeting shall designate a secretary for
such meeting, who shall take and keep or cause to be taken and kept
minutes of the proceedings thereof.
The conduct of all Partners' meetings shall at all times be
within the discretion of the Chairman of the meeting and shall be
conducted under such rules as he may prescribe. The Chairman shall
have the right and power to adjourn any meeting at any time,
without a vote of the Units present in Person or represented by
proxy, if the Chairman shall determine such action to be in the
best interests of the Partnership and its Partners.
7.14 Inspectors of Election. In advance of any meeting of
Partners, the General Partner may appoint any Persons, other than
nominees for General Partner or other office, as inspectors of
election to act at the meeting and any adjournment thereof. If
inspectors of election are not so appointed, or if any such Persons
fail to appear or refuse to act, the Chairman of any such meeting
may, and on the request of any Partner or his proxy shall, make
such appointment at the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be
either one or three. If appointed at a meeting on the request of
one or more Partners or proxies, the majority of Units present in
Person or by proxy shall determine whether one or three inspectors
are to be appointed. The inspectors of election shall
(i) determine the number of Units outstanding and the voting power
of each, the Units represented at the meeting, the existence of a
quorum and the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies,
(ii) receive votes, ballots or consents, (iii) hear and determine
all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with
the right to vote, (iv) count and tabulate all votes or consents,
(v) determine when the polls shall close, (vi) determine the result
and (vii) do such acts as may be proper to conduct the election or
vote with fairness to all Partners. If there are three inspectors
of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is
effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of
all.
7.15 Record Date and Closing Partnership Books. When a
record date is fixed, only Partners of Record on that date are
entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting or to receive a
distribution, or allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights, as
the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any Units on the
books of the Partnership after the record date.
7.16 No Termination by Reason of Change in Limited
Partners. The Partnership shall not be dissolved or terminated, or
subject to dissolution or termination, by reason of the death,
dissolution, termination, legal incapacity, bankruptcy or
insolvency of any Limited Partner or Limited Partners, or the
transfer or assignment of any Unit (whether or not in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement), or by any other change in
the circumstances or identity of the holders of Units (unless such
holder is also a General Partner).
7.17 Transfer of Units.
7.17.1 Restrictions on Transfer and Assignment of
Units. No transfer, assignment or conveyance of any Unit shall
be effective unless and until the following conditions are
satisfied:
(1) No Limited Partner shall have the right to
transfer any Unit to any minor or to any Person who, for
any reason, lacks the capacity to contract for himself
under applicable law. Such limitations shall not, however,
restrict the right of any Limited Partner to transfer any
one or more Units to a custodian or a trustee for a minor
or other Person who lacks such contractual capacity.
(2) The General Partner, with advice of counsel,
must determine that such transfer will not result in the
Partnership being treated, for federal income tax purposes,
as having been terminated pursuant to Section 708 of the
Internal Revenue Code, and will not violate the
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
applicable state securities laws.
(3) The instrument of transfer and all other
necessary documentation is in form and substance
satisfactory to the General Partner, and the transferee has
paid all costs and expenses of the Partnership in an amount
not to exceed $200.00, incurred in connection with such
transfer.
(4) The General Partner, with advice of counsel,
determines that such transfer will not (i) cause the Units
to be deemed "readily tradable on a secondary market (or
the substantial equivalent thereof)" under the provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code relating to publicly traded
partnerships or (ii) cause the Partnership to be treated as
a publicly traded partnership.
Any attempted transfer, assignment or conveyance or
offer to transfer, assign or convey a Unit that does not comply
with this Section 7.17.1 shall be null and void ab initio and
shall not be recognized by the Partnership. In addition, a
transferee shall have no rights to any information regarding an
accounting of the Partnership's transactions, to inspect the
Partnership's books or to vote in any matter presented to the
Limited Partners; nor may such rights be exercised by the
transferor in respect of the Units so transferred.
An assignment of Units satisfying the conditions
specified in this Section 7.17.1 shall entitle the transferee or
assignee to receive all distributions of cash and other property
from the Partnership, and all allocations of Net Income and Net
Losses made with respect to the assigned Units after the
Recognition Date for such assignment; but shall not entitle such
assignee to any other of the rights and privileges of a Limited
Partner hereunder unless such assignee becomes a Substitute
Limited Partner in accordance with Section 7.17.5 hereof. In
the event that the Partnership or its counsel determines that an
assignment does not satisfy the conditions specified in this
Section 7.17.1, the General Partner shall promptly notify the
assignor of such determination and such assignment shall be void
ab initio and shall not be recognized for any purpose; provided,
however, nothing contained in this Section 7.17.1 shall obligate
the General Partner or counsel to the Partnership to make any
independent examination or investigation to determine whether
such conditions have been satisfied.
7.17.2 Transfers of Units by Operation of Law. Upon any
transfer of Units by operation of law (including, without
limitation, transfers at death, whether testamentary or
otherwise), either the transferee or transferor (or the
transferor's personal representative) shall promptly give the
Partnership written notice of such transfer, stating by what
means it occurred. The Partnership shall recognize any such
transfer of which it receives such notice, provided such
transfer does not violate any applicable federal or state
securities law or regulation, and any restriction imposed
thereby with respect to the financial suitability of, or minimum
purchase (in terms of number of Units) by, any transferee for
consideration. If a transfer violates any applicable federal or
state securities laws, it shall be void ab initio. A transferee
of Units satisfying the conditions specified in this
Section 7.17.2 shall be entitled to receive all distributions of
cash and other property from the Partnership and all allocations
of Net Income and Net Losses made with respect to the
transferred Units after the Recognition Date for such transfer,
but shall not be entitled to any other of the rights and
privileges of a Limited Partner hereunder unless such transferee
becomes a Substitute Limited Partner in accordance with
Section 7.17.5 hereof.
7.17.3 Repurchase of Units by Partnership. The
Partnership may only repurchase Units from any Limited Partner
under all of the following conditions:
(1) A Limited Partner must request repurchase of
his Unit(s) by delivery of a written request to the General
Partner;
(2) The repurchase price shall be equal to 90% of
the Limited Partner's Adjusted Invested Capital. In the
event that such price is greater than the fair market value
of the Units on the date of repurchase or less than 99% of
the fair market value of the Units on the date of
repurchase, then the repurchase price shall be equal to
such higher or lower limit, as applicable;
(3) Whether the General Partner accepts a request
for repurchase will be at its sole and absolute discretion,
and a condition to exercise of such discretion in favor of
repurchase will be the General Partner's determination that
such repurchase will not impair the capital or operation of
the Partnership;
(4) Any requests for repurchase will be accepted
and satisfied on a first-received, first-purchased basis;
(5) Units repurchased may, in the sole and absolute
discretion of the General Partner, be resold, subject to
applicable securities laws, or, if not resold, cancelled;
(6) The Partnership will not purchase, in any year,
Units with an aggregate purchase price in excess of
$200,000.
7.17.4 Recognition Date for Assignments and Other
Transfers. The Recognition Date for any assignment or other
transfer of Units satisfying the conditions set forth in
Section 7.17.1 or 7.17.2 hereof shall be the first day of the
calendar month in which the Partnership receives written notice
of such assignment or other transfer if notice is received
before the sixteenth day of the month or the first day of the
following month if notice of such assignment or transfer is
received on or after the sixteenth day of the month.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, however, if recognition
by the Partnership of any assignment or other transfer of Units
would result in 50% or more of all outstanding Units having been
assigned or otherwise transferred within a 12-month period, the
Partnership shall have the right to defer the Recognition Date
for such assignment or transfer, whenever the General Partner in
its sole discretion determines that recognition thereof could
result in a determination for federal income tax purposes that
the Partnership had terminated, until the last day of the next
ensuing calendar month during which such recognition would not
risk such a tax "termination."
7.17.5 Admission of Substitute Limited Partners. An
assignee or transferee of Units recognized under Section 7.17.1
or 7.17.2 hereof may become a Substitute Limited Partner in
place of his assignor or transferor, to the extent of the Units
assigned, only if:
(1) With respect to such an assignment, the written
and executed instrument of assignment delivered to the
Partnership with respect to such assignment sets forth the
intention of the assignor that the assignee become a
Substitute Limited Partner in his place, to the extent of
the Units assigned;
(2) The assignee or transferee of such Units
executes, acknowledges and delivers to the Partnership a
written agreement to become a party to and be bound by the
provisions of this Agreement, in a form satisfactory to the
General Partner, as well as such other instruments as the
General Partner may deem necessary or desirable with
respect to the admission of such assignee or transferee as
a Substitute Limited Partner;
(3) Such assignee or transferee tenders to the
Partnership a uniform transfer fee, in an amount determined
by the General Partner sufficient to cover all reasonable
expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection with
admission of a Substitute Limited Partner; and
(4) The General Partner gives its written consent,
which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute
discretion, to the admission of such assignee or transferee
as a Substitute Limited Partner. The General Partner's
refusal to consent to any admission as a Substitute Limited
Partner shall be deemed reasonable if, inter alia, it is
based upon a reasonable belief that such admission would
(a) cause a termination of the Partnership under
Section 708(b) of the Internal Revenue Code; (b) violate
the conditions of any applicable state or federal
securities law; or (c) cause the admission of an individual
as a Substitute Limited Partner who does not meet the
suitability standards established for purchasers of Units
hereunder.
It is expressly understood that the General Partner's
discretion to consent or to refuse to consent to the admission
of an assignee or transferee of Units as a Substitute Limited
Partner is granted to the General Partner for the benefit of the
Limited Partners in order to negate the corporate characteristic
of free transferability of interests. No consent of any of the
Limited Partners shall be required to effect the admission of
such an assignee or transferee as a Substitute Limited Partner,
except (in the case of an assignment) the consent of the Limited
Partner making such assignment, which shall be evidenced as
provided in Section 7.17.5(1), above. The Recognition Date for
admission of any Substitute Limited Partner shall be the last
day of the calendar quarter in which the General Partner gives
its written consent to the admission of such Substitute Limited
Partner, and on or before such Recognition Date the General
Partner shall cause the Certificate of Limited Partnership to be
amended to reflect the admission of such Substitute Limited
Partner.
7.17.6 Names and Addresses of Limited Partners. The
General Partner shall keep at the principal place of business of
the Partnership a list containing the name and address of each
Limited Partner.
ARTICLE 8
GENERAL PARTNER INTERESTS
8.1 Removal of General Partner.
8.1.1 Removal by Vote of Limited Partners. By the vote
of a Majority-In-Interest (as provided in Section 7.3 hereof)
the Limited Partners may at any time remove the General Partner.
8.1.2 Removal by Other General Partner. Any General
Partner may remove any other General Partner, if such other
General Partner:
(1) Has been judicially determined to have
committed a material default of its obligations hereunder,
and fails to cure such default within 30 days after
receiving written notice of such judicial determination;
(2) Is adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent under
the Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or federal legislation
related thereto or other debtor relief laws; or otherwise
seeks, by way of petition or answer, any form of debtor's
relief under said Bankruptcy Code or any such laws; or
makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

remaining General Partner(s) or, if there is no remaining
General Partner the Limited Partners, by unanimous vote, elect
to continue the business of the Partnership;
9.1.2 The sale or other disposition of the Property;
provided, however, that if the sale of the Property involves the
Partnership's receipt of a note, the General Partner may keep
the Partnership in existence until such note is paid in full;
9.1.3 Subject to Section 9.1.5 hereinbelow, election by
a Majority-ln-Interest of the Limited Partners to dissolve the
Partnership, whether or not with the concurrence of the General

9.1.4 Upon the expiration of the term of the Partnership,
the Partnership shall dissolve, its assets shall be liquidated
as provided in Section 9.2 hereof, the proceeds of such
liquidation shall be applied and distributed as provided in
Section 9.3 hereof, and finally, the Certificate of Limited
Partnership shall be cancelled (and the Partnership terminated)
as provided in Section 9.4 hereof. During the period elapsing
between dissolution and termination of the Partnership, the
business of the Partnership and affairs of the Partners shall
continue to be governed by this Agreement, and the General
Partner, or remaining General Partner, shall continue to manage
such business and affairs. If such dissolution results from a
removal of all General Partners, or the sole remaining General
Partner, any Limited Partner may apply to a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint a liquidator, who shall then administer
the liquidation and termination of the Partnership, but
otherwise have none of the obligations or liabilities of a
General Partner. If the Limited Partners elect to continue the
business of the Partnership, as provided in Subsection 9.1(1),
above, and elect a new General Partner, the new General Partner
shall reconstitute the Partnership and continue its business
with the same assets for the balance of the term specified in
Section 1.3 hereof. The relationship of all of the Partners in
the reconstituted Partnership shall be governed by this

to demand a return of his Capital Contribution by reason of such
a dissolution.

Partnership shall not occur so long as the Partnership remains
mortgagor of the Property.
9.2 Liquidation. Upon the dissolution of the Partnership, the
General Partner shall proceed to liquidate all of the assets of the
Partnership in an orderly and expeditious manner, provided,
however, that if such dissolution results from the removal of all
General Partners or of the sole remaining General Partner, such
liquidation shall be deferred until the Limited Partners have had
an opportunity to reconstitute the Partnership, as provided in
Section 9.1 hereof; provided, further, that, if the General Partner
determines that an immediate sale of part of all of such assets
would result in unnecessary loss to the Partnership, then the
General Partner may, after giving written notice of the intention
to do so to each of the Limited Partners and to the extent not then
prohibited by the CRLPA, defer liquidation of such assets (except
those necessary to satisfy debts and obligations of the
Partnership) for a reasonable time. The Partnership shall not
terminate solely as a consequence of the insolvency or bankruptcy
of one or more of the general partners of the Partnership so long
as there remains a solvent general partner of the Partnership.
9.3 Application and Distribution of Proceeds of Liquidation.
9.3.1 General. Upon dissolution and termination of the
Partnership, the assets of the Partnership will be liquidated,
and, after all debts and obligations of the Partnership to third
Persons have been satisfied, the proceeds from such liquidation
will be distributed as follows after giving effect to the
allocations referred to under Section 4.2.1(3)(i) hereof:
(a) First, to the payment of creditors of the
Partnership, including Partners who are creditors to the
extent permitted by law, but excluding secured creditors
whose obligations will be assumed or otherwise transferred
on the liquidation of the Partnership's assets;
(b) Second, to the setting up of any reserves
reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen
liabilities or obligations of the Partnership; provided,
however, that such reserves shall be deposited with a bank
or trust company in an interest-bearing escrow account for
the purpose of disbursing such reserves for the payment of
any of the aforementioned contingencies and, at the
expiration of a reasonable period, for the purpose of
distributing the balance remaining in accordance with this
Section 9.3.1;
(c) Third, 100% to the Limited Partners until it
has received an amount which, when added to any prior
distributions to the Limited Partners from any source
whatsoever (other than distributions under
Section 4.1.2(4)), equals the 10% Preferred Return
described in Section 4.1.2(6), but not in excess of its
positive Capital Account balances;
(d) Fourth, to each Partner in an amount equal to
the positive balance, if any, of such Partner's Capital
Account after giving effect to the distribution under
Section 9.3.1(f); provided, however, that if the remaining
Capital Accounts of all Limited Partners exceed the amount
of the liquidation proceeds available for distribution,
such distributions shall be made to each Partner in the
ratio that the positive balance of each Partner's Capital
Account bears to the positive Capital Account balances of
all Partners who have positive Capital Account balances;
and
(e) Fifth, the balance of any such liquidation
proceeds 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General
Partner.
If the Limited Partner has received from the
distributions described in Section 9.3.1(c) through (f) and/or
from prior distributions of Distributable Cash From Sale or
Refinancing or initial Working Capital Reserves an aggregate
amount equal to 100% of its Original Invested Capital plus the
10% Preferred Return, then the Partnership shall withhold from
the amount otherwise distributable to the Limited Partners from
Distributable Cash under Section 9.3.1(g) an amount equal to the
subordinated compensation payments (if any) then owing to the
General Partner for real estate commissions on the Sale of
Partnership real estate, as described in Section 6.1.3, above.
The Partnership shall pay such withheld amounts to the General
Partner rather than to the Limited Partners, but only to the
extent that such payment to the General Partner does not cause
the Limited Partners to receive aggregate distributions upon
liquidation and/or from prior distributions of Distributable
Cash from Sale or Refinancing or initial Working Capital
Reserves that are less than 100% of its Original Invested
Capital plus the 10% Preferred Return. The Limited Partners'
share of such final cash distribution will be paid in equal
shares on account of each Unit.
9.3.2 General Partner's Deficit Capital Accounts. If,
following the dissolution and termination of the Partnership and
the liquidation of its assets, any General Partner shall have a
deficit Capital Account balance, the General Partner shall pay
to the Partnership, within the time and in the manner specified
in Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b)(2) of the Internal
Revenue Code, for distribution to creditors and then to Partners
with positive Capital Account balances in accordance with
Section 9.3.1 an amount equal to the lessor of (i) the deficit
in the General Partner's Capital Account, or (ii) the difference
between the amount of the General Partner's Capital
Contributions to the Partnership immediately prior to the
dissolution and termination of the Partnership and liquidation
of its assets and 1% of the total Capital Contributions to the
Partnership.
9.4 Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership. Upon
completion of the liquidation of the Partnership and distribution
of the proceeds there from, as provided in Section 9.3 hereof, the
General Partner shall record a cancellation certificate with
respect to the Certificates of Limited Partnership, record or file
a copy of the cancellation certificate in each place where a copy
of the Certificate of Limited Partnership has been recorded or
filed and record or file cancellations of any other filings made
pursuant to Section 1.5 hereof.
9.5 Final Partnership Statement. Within a reasonable time after
the Partnership's assets have been fully liquidated and the
proceeds therefrom fully allocated and distributed as provided in
Section 9.3 hereof, the General Partner shall furnish to each of
the Limited Partners a statement prepared by the Partnership's
independent certified public accountants, which shall set forth the
receipts and disbursements of the Partnership in the course of such
liquidation, together with the amount of proceeds from such
liquidation distributed with respect to each Unit and the amount of
such proceeds paid or distributed to the General Partner.

ARTICLE 11
RELATIONSHIP OF CERTAIN TERMS OF THIS
AGREEMENT TO PROVISIONS OF THE CALIFORNIA
REVISED LIMITED PARTNERSHIP ACT
11.1 Revised Limited Partnership Act Governs. The
Partnership, the rights and obligations of the Partners, and the
terms of this Agreement are governed in certain respects by the
provisions of the CRLPA effective July 1, 1984, which, however,
permits or contemplates that certain of its provisions may be
altered, extended or supplanted by provisions of this Agreement.
Set forth below are rules governing the intent of the Partners with
respect to the relationship of the terms of this Agreement to the
provisions of the CRLPA as to certain matters.
11.2 Provisions of the CRLPA Supplanted by the Terms of this
Agreement. The following provisions of the CRLPA are supplanted by
the terms of this Agreement in that the Partners intend such
provisions of the CRLPA to have no effect on the rights and
obligations of the Partners or the construction, interpretation or
enforcement of this Agreement:
11.2.1 Section 15611(b), regarding the definition of
"capital account."
11.2.2 Section 15611(d), regarding the definition of
"contribution."
11.2.3 Section 15611(q), regarding the definition of
"return of capital."
11.2.4 The second sentence, respectively, of
Sections 15653 and 15654, regarding the allocation of profits
and losses and distributions of money or property to Partners
absent a provision with respect thereto in the partnership
agreement (it being the Partners' intent that any such matter be
determined by the construction and interpretation of this
Agreement under principles of law otherwise applicable without
regard to provisions of the Act that might apply absent a
provision in the Agreement).
11.2.5 Section 15662, regarding the withdrawal by a
general partner except for (i) the provision of Section 15662(a)
that a general partner may withdraw from a limited partnership
at any time by giving written notice to the other partners, and
(ii) the provision of Section 15662(b)(2) that a general partner
who withdraws shall not be personally liable for partnership
debts incurred after the Person ceases to be a general partner.
11.2.6 The second sentence of Section 15663, regarding the
right of a limited partner to withdraw.
11.2.7 Section 15664, regarding certain rights of a
withdrawing limited partner to the extent it affords a
withdrawing limited partner any rights greater than those
afforded by this Agreement.
11.2.8 Section 15684(b), regarding the priority of certain
distributions upon winding up of a limited partnership, to the
extent it would alter the priority or amounts of distributions
to Partners under the terms of this Agreement.
11.3 Other Terms and Provisions. Many of the terms of this
Agreement are intended to alter or extend provisions of the CRLPA
as they may apply to the Partnership or the Partners and in some
instances express reference to provisions of the CRLPA is made.
Any failure on the part of any other term of this Agreement to
mention or specify the relationship of such term to provisions of
the CRLPA that may affect the scope or application of such term
shall not be construed to mean that any such term is not intended
to be a partnership agreement provision authorized or permitted by
the CRLPA or which in whole or in part alters, extends or supplants
provisions of the CRLPA as may be allowed thereby.
ARTICLE 12

Partnership.
12.2.1 Admission of Limited Partners. Admission of a

accordance with other provisions of this Agreement, require the
consent of any Limited Partner (except, in the case of a

transferring Units thereto).
12.2.2 Amendments with Consent of Limited Partners. In
addition to any amendments otherwise authorized herein, this
Agreement and the Certificate of Limited Partnership may be
amended by the General Partner with the consent of a Majority-
In-Interest of the Limited Partners; provided, however, that
neither this Agreement nor the Certificate of Limited
Partnership may be amended without the consent of all Partners
adversely affected thereby so as (i) to convert a Limited
Partner interest into a General Partner interest, or otherwise
modify the limited liability of a Limited Partner (including,
without limitation, any amendment which, in the opinion of
counsel to the Partnership, poses a significant risk of
impairing the limited liability of any or all of the Limited
Partners), or (ii) to alter the interest of any Limited Partner
in Distributable Cash, Net Income, Net Losses, or otherwise
cause unequal treatment of the Limited Partners; provided,
further, that this Section 12.2.2 may be amended only by the
consent of all the Partners.
12.2.3 Amendments Without Consent of Limited Partners. In
addition to any amendments otherwise authorized herein, the
General Partner may amend this Agreement and/or the Certificate
of Limited Partnership, without the consent of any of the
Limited Partners, to (i) change the name and/or principal place

obligations of the General Partner or decrease the rights and
powers of the General Partner (so long as such decrease does not
impair the ability of the General Partner to manage the
Partnership and conduct its business and affairs), (iii) cure
any ambiguity, or correct or supplement any provision hereof
which may be inconsistent with any other provision hereof, or
make provision with respect to any matter or question arising
under this Agreement so long as such additional provision is not

this Agreement required to be so deleted or added by the staff
of the Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other
federal agency, or by any state securities commissioner or
similar such official, and (v) comply with final regulations
under the Employment Retirement Income Security Act defining
"plan assets"; provided, however, that no amendment shall be
adopted pursuant to this Section 12.2.3 unless the adoption
thereof (A) is for the benefit of or not adverse to the
interests of the Limited Partners, (B) is not inconsistent with
Article 4 hereof, (C) does not alter, adversely to the Limited
Partners or any of them, the allocations of Distributable Cash,
Net Income or Net Losses among the Limited Partners or between
the Limited Partners and the General Partner except as provided
in Section 5.1.14, and (D) does not affect the limited liability
of the Limited Partners or the status of the Partnership as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes.
12.2.4 Execution and Recording of Amendments. Any
amendment to this Agreement adopted in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 12.2 or in accordance with any other
provisions of this Agreement shall be executed by the General
Partner for itself, and by the General Partner as attorney-in-
fact for the Limited Partners pursuant to the power-of-attorney
contained in Section 5.6 hereof. After the execution of such
amendment, the General Partner shall also prepare and record or

under the CRLPA or under the laws of any other jurisdiction in
which the Partnership holds any Property or otherwise does
business.

any and all rights which he may otherwise have, under the CRLPA or
any other applicable law, to maintain any action for partition of
such assets.
12.4 Severability. In the event that any provision of this
Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or under any
circumstances, is determined to be invalid, unlawful or
unenforceable to any extent, then to such extent such provision
shall be deemed severed from this Agreement; but the application of
such provision to any other Persons or under any other
circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be
invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, and every remaining provision
of this Agreement, shall continue in full force and effect.
12.5 Headings. Article and section headings in this
Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be
used in any way to interpret or construe this Agreement.
12.6 Further Assurances. Each Partner hereby agrees to
execute, acknowledge (if necessary) and deliver any and all further
instruments and other documents as counsel to the Partnership may
determine to be necessary or desirable for the achievement of the
purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the
Certificate of Limited Partnership and any and all amendments
thereto, as well as any cancellation thereof); provided that such
instrument or other document does not adversely affect the rights
and obligations of such Partner hereunder.

contains the entire understanding and agreement among the Partners
with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no other
agreements, understandings, representations or warranties among the
Partners other than those set forth herein (subject, however, to
the General Partners (in the event there is more than one General
Partner) having agreed or hereafter agreeing between themselves
with respect to the allocation of the duties, distributions,
allocations or other rights herein imposed upon or provided to the
General Partners jointly). This Agreement may be amended only as
provided in Section 12.2 hereof, or elsewhere herein; and this
Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, each
of the Partners and his respective heirs, successors and assigns
(subject, however, to the provisions hereof relating to assignment
and transfer of a Partner's interest in the Partnership).
12.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two
or more counterparts and by each party on separate counterparts,
each of which shall be an original, but all of which taken together
