CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The Partnership is and will be subject to various conflicts
of interest arising out of its relationships with the General
Partner and its affiliates (including Arvida) as well as the fact
that the General Partner and its affiliates are engaged in a wide
range of real estate activities. Where conflicts arise from
anticipated transactions with affiliates of the General Partner,
certain provisions and limitations described below have been
adopted to protect the interests of the Holders of Interests.
Where no such provisions and limitations are described, none has
been adopted and these conflicts may be resolved only through the
exercise of the General Partner's judgement consistent with its
fiduciary obligations to the Partnership and the Holders as set
forth in the Partnership Agreement. See "Fiduciary Responsibility
of the General Partner" below. The conflicts of interest to which
the Partnership is and will be subject include those described
below.
DETERMINATIONS BY THE GENERAL PARTNER
The General Partner and the Associate Limited Partners have
certain interests in the Cash Flow and Profits or Losses of the
Partnership (see "Cash Distributions and Allocations of Profits or
Losses"). Because the timing and amount of Cash Flow and Profits
or Losses of the Partnership received by, or allocated to, the
General Partner and the Associate Limited Partners may be affected
by various determinations by the General Partner under the
Partnership Agreement, including whether or not to refinance or
sell any property and the timing of any such sale or refinancing,
the establishment and maintenance of reasonable reserves, the
allocation of certain tax items under the Partnership Agreement,
the timing of expenditures, the level of amortization of
indebtedness and other matters, the General Partner may have a
conflict of interest with respect to such determinations.
The Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner
shall elect, in its sole discretion, to cause a Listing of the
Interests, or, on the date ten years from the termination of this
offering, to purchase (or to cause JMB or its affiliates to
purchase) the interests at their appraised fair market value, or
commence liquidation of the Partnership on the date ten years from
the termination of this offering and sell all properties within
fifteen years from the termination of this offering. In the event
the General Partner elects to commence a liquidations phase, JMB
and its affiliates will be permitted to purchase at appraised fair
market value any of the joint interests held by the Partnership in
Communities and Future Communities in which JMB or any of its
affiliates (other than the Partnership) has an interest. In the
event the General Partner elects, in accordance with the
foregoing, to purchase, or to cause the purchase of, the
Interests, or to commence a liquidation phase of the Partnership
and to purchase any affiliate
In the event that the proceeds of this offering plus maximum
initial aggregate indebtedness are not sufficient to permit the
payment of the cost of acquiring the assets from the Seller, the
General Partner expects to cause the Partnership to enter into a
joint venture or joint participation with affiliates of the
General Partner under which the assets acquired from the Seller
would be owned and developed. Any joint investment made by the
Partnership in any Community with an affiliate of the General
Partner will be on a strictly pro rata basis with the investment
made by another JMB affiliate. In addition, each party will pay
only its allocable share of Arvida's expenses in developing and
managing the project. However, at any particular time, it is
possible that the Partnership, the other investing JMB affiliate
and Arvida may have differing interests with respect to certain
decisions affecting such joint investments, including the timing
of expenditures, sale of certain assets and other matters. Thus,
there exists the possibility of an impasse in the event the joint
venture partners disagree. See "Risks of Joint Ventures".
However, in the event of a disagreement regarding a proposed sale
or other disposition of the property, the party desiring not to
sell or otherwise dispose would have a right of first refusal to
purchase the affiliated joint venture partner's interest in the
property. Such right of first refusal would be exercisable at the
pro rata share of the proposed sale price or other disposition
price to any unaffiliated third party; however, there can be no
assurance that the Partnership would have the financial resources
to exercise its right of first refusal at any such time.
The Partnership may permit an affiliate of the General
Partner and JMB to invest jointly with the Partnership and its
joint venturer in a portion of an approximately 200-acre parcel of
land located near Sarasota which may be suitable for development
as a regional shopping mall. See "Business of the Partnership--
Description of Current Developments--Commercial and Industrial".
This affiliate has expertise in the development and operation of
regional shopping malls. Neither the Partnership nor Arvida
currently has expertise in these matters. In the event of such a
joint venture investment, the Partnership and the Partnership's
unaffiliated joint venturer would contribute the land at appraised
value and the JMB affiliate would contribute a pro rata share of
capital. It should be noted that appraisals are only estimates of
value and should not be relied upon as measures of realizable
value. The JMB affiliate would be entitled to earn certain
development fees from the joint venture for its services, subject
to certain limitations. See "Management of the Partnership--
Management Compensation".
PARTNERSHIP'S PARTICIPATION IN NET CASH FLOW OF FUTURE COMMUNITIES
While Arvida has no current intent to move its principal
business away from Community development, it is under no
obligation to maintain Community development as its principal
business. Arvida's only obligation in respect of future
developments to the Partnership is to permit the Partnership to
receive a 10% interest in net cash flow (in excess of certain base
amounts) from Future Communities, subject to the limitations set
forth under "Description of Business-Future Developments". The
Partnership will not participate in any other future developments.
Arvida is not restricted to development of Community properties
and may participate or assist in the development and management of
other types of real property investments developed by affiliates
of JMB and Arvida. Different parcels of the same tract of land
may be developed by various JMB affiliates, including Arvida. In
certain cases, the most significant portions of such properties,
principally office or other commercial buildings, may be developed
by JMB and affiliates other than Arvida, and the Partnership will
not participate in the net cash flow in respect of those
developments.
POSSIBLE COMPETITION BY THE PARTNERSHIP WITH AFFILIATES
A substantial number of real estate investment partnerships
and other entities are presently managed or advised by or through
affiliates of JMB (see "Management of the Partnership--JMB Realty
Corporation"). JMB and its affiliates also invest in real estate
for their own accounts. JMB is presently planning to form and to
manage or advise, directly or through affiliates, additional real
estate investment partnerships and other investment entities in
the future, and expects to continue to invest in real estate for
its own account. JMB and certain of these affiliates engage in
the development of retail, commercial and office projects,
although none (either individually or in the aggregate) presently
engage in the business of Community development to the extent that
the Partnership and Arvida do. See "Business of the Partnership"
and "Management of the Partnership--Affiliate Supervisory
Agreement". The Partnership Agreement expressly provides that
neither the General Partner nor any affiliate of the General
Partner (including JMB and Arvida) will be obligated to present to
the Partnership any particular investment or development
opportunity that comes to its attention; provided, however, that
the Partnership shall be entitled to receive a 10% interest in net
cash flow (in excess of certain base amounts) with respect to each
Future Community, subject to the limitations set forth under
"Business of the Partnership--Future Community Developments". See
"Fiduciary Responsibility of the General Partner".
JMB and existing or future real estate investment entities
advised or managed by JMB or its affiliates may be in competition
under some circumstances with Arvida, and thereby the Partnership,
for real property investments. Such conflicts could arise, for
example, if the purchase of a particular undeveloped property
should appear to be suitable for development for more than one
purpose including as an Arvida-sponsored Community development.
In addition, JMB or its affiliates may acquire and develop
properties located nearby or adjacent to Communities or proposes
Arvida Community developments, and the Partnership shall have no
right to receive an interest in such developments. As a result of
its relationship with its affiliates and the nature of such
affiliates' development business, Arvida may be unable to develop
certain properties in the manner, and to the extent, which it
otherwise would, and, as a result, the Partnership may not be able
to receive an interest in certain development projects. Arvida
and its staff may supply certain development and management
services to other JMB affiliates and may develop properties for
such affiliates independent of Future Communities.
Affiliates of the General Partner may also be in competition
with the Partnership in connection with the sale or operation of
properties under some circumstances. For example, the Partnership
may own certain interest in Community properties adjacent to
properties owned by JMB or other affiliated entities. As a
result, the Partnership and one or more affiliated entities may be
competing in particular geographical markets for residents or for
tenants in commercial or office projects. There may also be
similar sorts of competition in connection with the sales of
property in certain markets. Any adjacent commercial properties
owned by the Partnership and an affiliated entity will offer
economic terms for tenant leases in such adjacent properties which
are comparable considering all relevant factors including, but not
limited to, age and quality of construction.
RELATIONSHIP OF AFFILIATES TO PARTNERSHIP
JMB or its affiliates are not prohibited from providing
services to, and otherwise dealing or doing business with, persons
who deal with the Partnership. However, no rebates or "giveups"
may be received by the General Partner or any affiliate of the
General Partner, nor may the General Partner or any such affiliate
participate in any reciprocal business arrangements which would
have the effect of circumventing any of the provisions of the
Partnership Agreement. JMB and its affiliates may provide certain
services to the Partnership as described under "Management of the
Partnership". If any other transactions between the Partnership
and JMB or its affiliates occur, they must also be negotiated on a
basis not less favorable to the Partnership than that available
from third parties providing comparable services and shall be
terminable on 60 days' notice.
REMUNERATION OF JMB, ARVIDA AND AFFILIATES
JMB and its affiliates, including Arvida, will receive
substantial compensation and other amounts from the Partnership,
regardless of whether the Partnership achieves its investment
objectives. See "Management of the Partnership--Management
Compensation" and" --Affiliate Supervisory Agreement".
PARTICIPATION OF AN AFFILIATE AS A SELECTED DEALER
JMB Securities Corporation, a broker-dealer affiliated with
JMB, is expected to participate as a Selected Dealer in the
offering of Interests and will be entitled to the same selling
commission as other dealers. See "Plan of Distribution". JMB
Securities Corporation may be subject to a conflict of interest in
performing any "due diligence" obligations that may arise out of
its participation in the offering because of its affiliation with
the General Partner.
RELATIONSHIP OF MERRILL LYNCH TO AFFILIATE
An affiliate of Merrill Lynch, the Selling Agent for this
offering, is purchasing Interests to 1% of the total Interests
sold to the public pursuant to this offering at a cost of $1 per
Interest and is a limited partner in one of the Associate Limited
Partners. As a result, Merrill Lynch as selling agent may be
subject to a conflict of interest in performing any "due
diligence" obligations that may arise out of its participation in
the offering because of such relationship with its affiliate. In
addition, the issuance of such Interests at $1 per Interest to the
Merrill Affiliate effectively dilutes the Interests purchased by
other Holders of Interests.
LEGAL REPRESENTATION
As noted under "Legal Matters", counsel for the Partnership
in connection with the offering ia also counsel to JMB and various
affiliates, including the General Partner of the Partnership, on
various matters. No counsel has been independently retained to
represent the Holders of Interests. In the event any controversy
arises following the termination of the offering in which the
interests of the Partnership appear to be in conflict with those
of JMB or its affiliates, other counsel would be retained for one
or both of the parties.
FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY OF THE GENERAL PARTNER
The General Partner is accountable to the Partnership as a
fiduciary and consequently must exercise good faith and integrity
in handling Partnership affairs. This is an uncertain area of the
law, and Holders of Interests who have questions concerning the
fiduciary duties of the General Partner should consult with their
counsel.
The Partnership Agreement provides that neither the General
Partner nor any affiliate thereof engaged in the performance of
services on behalf of the Partnership (the "Indemnified Parties")
will be liable to the Partnership or the Holders of Interests for
any loss or liability resulting from any act or omission performed
or omitted by them if the General Partner or its affiliates have
determined, in good faith, that the act or omission which caused
the loss or liability, was in the best interests of the
Partnership and such loss or liability was not the result of
misconduct or negligence and that, subject to certain limitations,
the Indemnified Parties will be indemnified by the Partnership
against any loss or liability suffered by them if the General
Partner or its affiliates have determined, in good faith, that the
act or omission which caused the loss or liability was in the best
interests of the Partnership and such loss or liability was not
the result of misconduct or negligence. See "Summary of the
Partnership Agreement--Indemnification of the General Partner".
Thus, the Limited Partners or Holders of Interests, as the case
may be, may have a more limited right of action than would
otherwise be the case absent such provisions. In the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
is contrary to public policy and therefore unenforceable.
The Partnership Agreement expressly provides that neither
the General Partner nor any affiliate of the General Partner will
be obligated to present to the Partnership any particular
investment opportunity that comes to its attention. See "Business
of the Partnership" and "Conflicts of Interest--Possible
Competition by Partnership with Affiliates".
OWNERSHIP OF GENERAL PARTNER
All of the outstanding shares of the General Partner are
owned by JMB Holdings Corporation, an Illinois corporation, 75% of
the outstanding shares of which are owned by JMB Realty
Corporation and the remaining 25% of which is owned by certain
officers and directors of JMB. The General Partner is not
prohibited from paying dividends to its stockholder. The
Partnership Agreement provides that the purchasers of Interests
will acquire no interest in the stock or assets of the General
Partner, or in any proceeds of any sales thereof by virtue of
acquiring or owning Interests and becoming Holders.
MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION
The following describes the types and estimated amounts of
fees, compensation, and other payments, and distributions that the
General Partner and its affiliates (including the Associate
Limited Partners) will or may receive in connection with the
business of the Partnership and/or the acquisition of its assets.
These amounts were not determined by arm's-length bargaining.
Acquisition and Financing Guaranty Fee. The Partnership is
obligated to pay JMB or its affiliates an Acquisition and
Financing Guaranty Fee equal to $20,000,000 (subject to reduction
as set forth below and in the Partnership Agreement) for services
of JMB and such affiliates in negotiating and arranging, and
guaranteeing repayment of the Acquisition Notes and certain other
obligations incurred in connection with, the acquisition of the
assets by the Partnership from the Seller. Such fee will be
payable upon the date of the admission of Holders of Interests to
the Partnership ("Admission Date"), or, in the event of multiple
Admission Dates, pro rata upon each Admission Date based upon the
percentage of the maximum offering sold (without giving effect to
the right to increase the size of the offering to 400,000
Interests); to the extent that less than all of the Interests are
sold, therefore, the Acquisition and Financing Guaranty Fee will
be proportionately less than $20,000,000.
Fees for Property Management and Other Services. The
Partnership may engage affiliates of the General Partner for
property management, insurance brokerage, or other services to be
performed, if necessary, in connection with the properties of the
Partnership. Property management fees may be charged at rates
prevailing for comparable services in the localities where
properties are located, in the event such services are provided,
but not to exceed 6% of the gross receipts from a commercial or
industrial property (if leasing and re-leasing services are
performed by such affiliate; otherwise the maximum fee is 3% of
the gross receipts) and 3% of the gross receipts (reduced to 1%
after the first five years) from a commercial or industrial
property leased for ten years or more on a net basis. Subject to
certain limitations in the Partnership Agreement, insurance
brokerage services may be performed and commissions may be
received at rates prevailing for comparable classes of coverage in
the localities where the properties are located. If affiliates of
the General Partner perform other services for the Partnership,
the fee for such services must be not less favorable to the
Partnership than that available from third parties providing
comparable services and the arrangement in respect of such
services shall be terminable, without penalty, on 60 days' notice.
As described under "Business of the Partnership--Description
of Current Developments", an affiliate of JMB which develops malls
and shopping centers nationally may participate as a joint venture
partner with a joint venture between the Partnership and an
unaffiliated third party in the development of a regional shopping
mall at Sarasota, Florida on property owned (including under an
option) by a joint venture in which the Partnership is a 50%
partner; in such event, the affiliate would be entitled to receive
development fees equal to the lesser of 5% of the cost of
development or the amount which would be charged by an independent
third party rendering comparable services, together with allocable
reimbursements of allocable expenses. In the event of a joint
venture between the Partnership and its joint venture partner and
an affiliate of JMB, the joint venture shall obtain a report of
the appraised value of the mall or shopping center upon completion
of the property. To the extent that the actual costs of
development, including the development fees paid to such
affiliate, exceed the appraised value of the project, the
development fees will be remitted by such affiliate to the extent
of the excess, if any, of such development costs over such
appraised value.
Distributive Share of Cash Flow. Following admission of
Limited Partners, the General Partner and the Associate Limited
Partners (collectively) will be entitled to receive (i) until the
Holders of Interests have received cumulative distributions of
Cash Flow equal to a cumulative 10% per annum return (on a non-
compounded basis) on their adjusted capital Investments (which
shall be deemed return (on a non-compound basis) on their Adjusted
Capital Investments), 5% of the distibutions of Cash Flow
remaining after Cash Flow distributions to the General Partner and
the Associate Limited Partners (collectively) equal to 1% per
annum of the Gross Asset Value of the Partnership (subject to
certain limitations set forth in the Partnership Agreement);
provided, however, that until such time as the Holders of
Interests have received total distributions of Cash Flow equal to
their Capital Investments, receipt by the General Partner and the
Associate Limited Partners (collectively) of their 5% share of
Cash Flow shall be deferred (the "Deferred Amount") until receipt
by the Holders of Interests of Cash Flow distributions equal to a
12% per annum cumulative, non-compounded return on their initial
Capital Investments; any Deferred Amount shall be distributable to
the General Partner and the Associate Limited Partners
(collectively), (x) out of any Cash Flow otherwise distributable
to the Holders of Interests at such time as the Holders of
Interests have received a 12% per annum cumulative, non-compounded
return on their Capital Investments, or (y) in any event, to the
extent of one-half of Cash Flow otherwise distributable to the
Holders of Interests at such time as the Holders of Interests have
received total distributions of Cash Flow equal to their Capital
Investments; and (ii) thereafter, 15% of all distributions of Cash
Flow shall be made to the General Partner and the Associate
Limited Partners (collectively) and 85% to the Holders of
Interests; provided, however, that the General Partner and the
Associate Limited Partners (collectively) shall be entitled to
receive an additional share of Cash Flow otherwise distributable
to the Holders of Interests under clause (ii) equal to the lesser
of (a) 13% of the aggregate distributions of Cash Flow under
clause (ii) to all parties or (b) an amount equal to 2% of the
gross selling prices of all interests in real property of the
Partnership (subject to certain limitations). See "Cash
Distributions and Allocations of Profits or Losses".
The General Partner and Arvida/JMB Associates (collectively)
will be entitled to receive a distribution of Cash Flow of the
Partnership in an amount equal to $20,000,000 on September 30,
1987. The definition of Cash Flow includes, and this distribution
may be paid from, the proceeds of sales or other dispositions of
assets in the ordinary course of business and the proceeds of
borrowings of the Partnership. See "Acquisition of Assets".
Reimbursable Expenses. The Partnership will reimburse the
General Partner and its affiliates (including Arvida) for their
direct expenses relating to this offering and relating to the
administration of the Partnership and the acquisition,
development, ownership, supervision and operation of the
Partnership assets (subject to certain limitations contained in
Section 5.1D of the Partnership agreement). In addition, certain
other expenses of JMB and its affiliates will be reimbursed as
described below. JMB and its affiliates will be reimbursed by the
Partnership and all expenses of the offering, sale and
distribution of Interests, and the cost of goods, materials and
services used for or by the Partnership and obtained from entities
which are not affiliated with the General Partner.
Except for organizational expenses incurred in the creation
of the Partnership and offering, selling and distribution expenses
incurred in selling and distribution expenses incurred in the sale
of Interests, JMB and the General Partner will not be reimbursed
by the Partnership for the salaries and related salary expenses of
any of the Director, the Chairman, President or any Executive Vice
President of JMB or the General Partner or any individual who
holds 5% or more of an equity interest in JMB or the General
Partner or has the power to direct or cause the direction of JMB
or the General Partner, whether through ownership of voting
securities, by contract or otherwise, or for any indirect, general
or administrative overhead expenses incurred in performing
services for the Partnership which are not directly attributable
to such services. The Partnership, however, will subject to
certain limitations in 5.1D of the Partnership Agreement,
reimburse JMB and its affiliates for salaries (and related salary
expenses) for services which could be performed directly for the
Partnership by independent parties, such as legal, accounting,
transfer agent, data processing, duplicating and other services.
The amounts charged to the Partnership for such services will not
exceed the lesser of the actual cost of such services, or 90% of
the amount which the Partnership would be required to pay to
independent parties for comparable services. It is estimated that
such reimbursements for such services will be approximately
$175,000 in 1987. In the Partnership's annual report to Holders
of Interests, there will be provided an itemized breakdown of
reimbursements made to JMB and its affiliates in the categories of
legal, accounting, transfer agent, data processing and duplicating
services. Such reimbursement of expenses will be made regardless
of whether any distributions are made to the Holders of Interests.
Pursuant to the Supervisory Agreement, the Partnership shall
reimburse Arvida fully for all of its out-of-pocket expenses
(including salary and salary-related expenses) incurred while
supervising the development and management of the Partnership's
properties and other operations; provided, however, such
reimbursements shall not exceed 5% of the gross revenues from the
business of the Partnership. Such reimbursements will be made
regardless of whether any distributions are made to the Holders of
Interests.
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE GENERAL PARTNER AND THE ASSOCIATE
LIMITED PARTNERS
The General Partner and the Associate Limited Partners have
made capital contributions to the Partnership aggregating $1,000
and will make additional capital contributions so that total
capital contributions of the General Partner and the Associate
Limited Partners will aggregate at least $20,000. Except under
certain limited circumstances upon liquidation of the Partnership
or its Partnership interest (see "Summary of the Partnership
Agreement--Dissolution and Liquidation"), the General Partner, in
its capacity as such, will make no additional capital
contributions to the Partnership. JMB Investor Services
Corporation made a capital contribution to the Partnership of
$5,000 when it purchased five Interests as the Initial Limited
Partner of the Partnership.
AFFILIATE SUPERVISORY AGREEMENT
Arvida, an affiliate of JMB and the General Partner, will
provide development and management supervisory personnel for the
Partnership for all of its projects and operations in accordance
with the objectives and criteria set forth under "Business of the
Partnership". Pursuant to the Supervisory Agreement, Arvida will
provide such supervisory management personnel at cost for the
duration of the Partnership; provided, however, that the
Supervisory Agreement may be terminated without cause by the
Partnership without penalty upon sixty days' written notice.
Arvida may terminate the Supervisory Agreement if the General
Partner ceases to be an affiliate of JMB or if the Partnership is
in material breach of the Supervisory Agreement which breach
continues for a period of sixty days. See "Management of the
Partnership--Management Compensation--Reimbursable Expenses".
While these personnel will function primarily in an advisory and
supervisory role with respect the Partnership's own operating
employees, Arvida personnel will also assist Partnership personnel
in the Partnership's management, development and sale of
properties. These personnel will supervise the identification of
Partnership-owned land for development, the design of a Community
master plan, the obtaining of regulatory and governmental
approvals, and assist with the installation of infrastructure and
amenities, the sale of developed parcels and homesites to third-
party developers and the construction of residential units and
commercial and industrial properties. Arvida intends to follow
the Seller's practice of hiring subcontractors and consulting
firms on a project-by-project basis rather than maintaining in-
house capabilities, in order to be able to select suitable
professionals for a particular project. Arvida has granted the
Partnership a non-exclusive license to the "Arvida" name for its
use pursuant to, and for the term of, the Supervisory Agreement.
Arvida intends, but has no obligation, to continue to seek
to develop, among other real estate projects, additional Future
Communities. The Partnership will be entitled to receive a 10%
interest in net cash flow (above certain base amounts) from Future
Communities. See "Business of the Partnership--Future Community
Developments".
Arvida will be reimbursed directly by the Partnership for
all of its out-of-pocket expenses (including an allocable share of
its salary and salary-related expenses) incurred while supervising
the development and management of the Partnership's properties.
Arvida will not be entitled to receive any fees or other payments,
direct or indirect, from the Partnership. Arvida will reimburse
the Partnership for any goods, services or facilities of the
Partnership which it may use in connection with projects unrelated
to the Partnership's business.
Pursuant to the Supervisory Agreement, Arvida and each of
its directors, officers and employees shall be indemnified for any
liability arising out of their activities under the Supervisory
Agreement, except for fraud, bad faith or negligence by them.
Arvida may develop new commercial and industrial projects,
which will be wholly separate and distinct from any future
Communities developed under the name "Arvida"; the Partnership
will not be entitled to participate in the net cash flow of any
such projects. Arvida may participate in the development of
Community projects for others without use of the name "Arvida" in
which case the Partnership would have no right to participate.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION OF ASSIGNEE INTERESTS
__________________________________________________________________
ASSIGNMENT OF INTERESTS
An investor in the Partnership will hold all of his interest
in the Partnership by virtue of an assignment to the investor of
Interests held by the Initial Limited Partner which have been
acquired with the subscription proceeds of such investor. The
Initial Limited Partner will be the Limited Partner of record for
the Interests purchased and held by the Assignee Holders, but all
of the economic benefits of the Interests (including cash
distributions or allocations of Profits or Losses) will be
distributed or allocated to the Assignee Holders. The discussion
in this Prospectus with respect to receipt of such Partnership
distributions and allocations refers to Holders of Interests,
rather than Limited Partners. Purchasers of such assigned
Interests will not themselves become Limited Partners, unless they
elect or are required to do so, as explained below.
Attached to this Prospectus as part of Exhibit C is a form
of Subscription Agreement Signature Page. Investors may subscribe
to the Partnership through Merrill Lynch or Selected Dealers
without executing the Subscription Agreement Signature Page
(except where required by state law). By the payment of his
subscription proceeds and acceptance by the General partner as an
Assignee Holder, each investor will be recognized by the
Partnership as an Assignee Holder of Interests and each investor
will be bound by all the terms of the Subscription Agreement, as
well as the Partnership Agreement and Assignment Agreement. Under
the Assignment Agreement, included as Exhibit B to this
Prospectus, among the Partnership, the Initial Limited Partner,
the General Partner and each investor becoming an Assignee Holder
pursuant to this offering, all of the ownership attributes of the
Interests are granted to such Assignee Holders, including voting
rights and rights to their proportionate percentage interest in
the Partnership's income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and
distributions, and Assignee Holders are bound by the terms of the
Partnership Agreement.
An Assignee Holder who wishes to become a Substituted
Limited Partner may do so upon complying with the provisions
pertaining to transfer of Interests under the Partnership
Agreement. See "Transferability of Interests" below. An Assignee
Holder who effects such a transfer and becomes a Substituted
Limited Partner will not be permitted subsequently to reassign its
Limited Partnership Interests to the Initial Limited Partner and
once more become an Assignee Holder. The Initial Limited Partner
holds five Interests for its own account and has all rights
attributable to such Interests under the Partnership Agreement.
An assignee Holder who wishes to become a Substituted
Limited Partner may do so upon complying with the provisions
pertaining to transfer of Interests under the Partnership
Agreement. See "Transferability of Interests" below. An Assignee
Holder who effects such a transfer and becomes a Substituted
Limited Partner will not be permitted subsequently to reassign its
Limited Partnership Interests to the Initial Limited Partner and
once more become an Assignee Holder. The Initial Limited Partner
holds five Interests for its own account and has all rights
attributable to such Interests under the Partnership Agreement.
No transfer (except for intra-family and certain other
transfers, including transfers by gift or inheritance) will be
recognized if following the transfer either the transferor or the
transferee would hold fewer than five Interests. Additional
restrictions on transfer of Interests are imposed in some states
by their respective securities laws.
No transfer may be made to any person that is a non-resident
alien individual or foreign corporation or other entity or that
may be subject to tax under Section 511 of the Code or to any
"tax-exempt entity" (within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the
Code for purposes of Section 168(h)(2) of the Code for purposes of
Section 168(h)(6)(A) of the Code), except in the sole discretion
of the General Partner.
In the case of any transfer of Interests, the General
Partner will impose upon the transferee the suitability
requirements of state blue sky laws. Any member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") assisting in such
transfer will impose upon the transferee the suitability
requirements imposed by the NASD.
The rights of any transferee of an Interest who does not
become a Substituted Limited Partner will be limited to his share
of Partnership Profits or Losses and cash distributions as
described above. The voting rights of a transferor (other than
the Initial Limited Partner) who transfers an Interest will
terminate with respect to such Interest upon such transfer,
whether or not the transferee thereof is admitted as a Substituted
Limited Partner with respect thereto.
MERRILL LYNCH INVESTOR SERVICE
It is not anticipated that a public market for the Interests
will develop. However, Merrill Lynch may provide certain investor
services which may assist investors desiring to sell their
Interests. Merrill Lynch, acting as an agent of persons who
desire to buy or sell Interests, will use its best efforts to
match any buy order it receives with any sell order it receives,
at specified prices (or price ranges) only, but will not solicit
any sell orders for Interests. Any solicitation in respect of buy
orders will be done in accordance with Federal securities laws.
This service will be made available only after the Final Admission
Date and only to investors who are not Substituted Limited
Partners and who maintain or establish an account with Merrill
Lynch. Any transactions effected through this service are subject
to any restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable state
securities laws. This service will not be available to residents
of the State of California unless and until the Department of
Corporations of the State of California modifies or waives its
policy with respect to such service.
To facilitate such transactions, Merrill Lynch will make
available upon request, information as to the prices at which
Interests have recently been sold. However, Merrill Lynch will
not set the price at which Interests will be sold. Since this
arrangement will not constitute a market for the Interests, no
"market orders" or "stop orders" can be accepted by Merrill Lynch.
Accordingly, it is possible that no buy orders will be received by
Merrill Lynch at the prices specified in the sell orders which
Merrill Lynch receives, and in that case it will not be possible
for Merrill Lynch to arrange any sales. For its services in
acting as agent for the buyer and seller in such transactions,
Merrill Lynch will charge an appropriate fee or commission.
Further information about this service can be obtained from
Merrill Lynch. Merrill Lynch is under no obligation to provide
this service to Holders of Interests, and this service may be
discontinued or suspended at any time without notice.
_________________________________________________________________
CASH DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS OR LOSSES
_________________________________________________________________
In the event the minimum number of Interests is subscribed
for, a Holder of Interests will be entitled to receive from the
Partnership a distribution of Cash Flow (without regard to the
distribution to the General Partner and Arvida/JMB Associates of
Cash Flow (including the proceeds of any financings) on September
30, 1987, as described under "Management of the Partnership--
Management Compensation") in an amount equal to such Holder's
Capital Investment from the day after his subscription proceeds
are received in the Partnership escrow account through the end of
the fiscal quarter in which the Final Admission Date occurs
multiplied by an initial rate of 5% per annum. This rate,
however, may be increased prospectively (in the sole discretion of
the General Partner) at the end of any week or weeks, commencing
with the following week. Such Cash Flow will be distributed
within 60 days following the end of such fiscal quarter in which
the First Admission Date occurs and each fiscal quarter thereafter
through the fiscal quarter in which the Final Admission Date
occurs. See "Plan of Distribution--Allocations of Benefits During
the Offering Period".
Beginning with the first fiscal quarter following the
termination of the offering of Interests to the public, Cash Flow
shall be distributed on a quarterly basis, within 60 days
following the end of each fiscal quarter, as follows:
(i) until the Holders of Interests have received
cumulative distributions of Cash Flow equal to a 10% per annum
return (on a non-compounded basis) on their Adjusted Capital
Investments (as defined below) plus the return of their Capital
Investments (which shall be deemed returned to the Holders of
Interests only to the extent of cumulative distributions of Cash
Flow to Holders of Interests in excess of 10% per annum (on a non-
compounded basis) of their Adjusted Capital Investments), (a)95%
to the Holders of Interests and 5% to the General Partner and
Associate Limited Partners (collectively) remaining after (b) Cash
Flow distributions to the General Partner and the Associate
Limited Partners (collectively) equal to 1% per annum of the Gross
Asset Value (as defined below) of the Partnership (subject to
certain limitations set forth in the Partnership Agreement);
provided, however, that until such time as the Holders of
Interests have received total distributions of Cash Flow equal to
their Capital Investments, receipt by the General Partner and the
Associate Limited Partners (collectively) of their 5% share of
Cash Flow under clause (a) above shall be deferred (the "Deferred
Amount") to receipt by the Holders of Interests of Cash Flow
distributions equal to a 12% per annum cumulative, non-compounded
return on their Capital Investments; and Deferred Amount shall be
distributable to the General Partner and the Associate Limited
Partner (collectively), (x) out of any Cash Flow otherwise
distributable to the Holders of Interests under clause (a) above
at such time as the Holders of Interests have received a 12% per
annum cumulative, non-compounded return on their Capital
Investments, or (y) in any event, to the extent of one-half of
Cash Flow otherwise distributable to the Holders of Interests
under clause (a) above at such time as the Holders of Interests
have received total distributions of Cash Flow equal to their
Capital Investments; and
(ii) thereafter, all distribution of Cash Flow shall
be made 85% to the Holders of Interests and 15% to the General
Partner and the Associate Limited Partners (Collectively);
provided, however, that the General Partner and the Associate
Limited Partners (collectively) shall be entitled to receive an
additional share of Cash Flow otherwise distributable to the
Holders of Interests under this clause (ii) equal to the lesser of
(x) an amount equal to 2% of the gross selling prices of any
interests in real property of the Partnership (subject to certain
limitations) or (y) 13% of the aggregate distributions of Cash
Flow under this clause (ii) to all parties.
"Gross Asset Value" shall mean the dollar amount reflected
on the books and records maintained by the Partnership, at the
Final Admission Date, of the gross assets (including all of the
Partnership's interests in joint venture assets) acquired by the
Partnership, directly or indirectly, or, if sold or otherwise
disposed, of the proceeds of such assets, increased by the dollar
amount reflected on the books and records maintained by the
Partnership, at the time of their respective acquisition, of any
gross assets (including all of the Partnership's interests in
joint venture assets) which the Partnership subsequently acquires,
directly or indirectly, from the Seller or as otherwise
contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement or this Prospectus.
Distributions will be made on or before the last day of May,
August, November and February of each year in respect of
operations for the preceding fiscal quarter.
"Adjusted Capital Investments", with respect to any fiscal
quarter, shall mean the Capital Investments of the Holders of
Interests reduced, as of the first day of any fiscal quarter
following the fiscal quarter with respect to which a distribution
is made, by cumulative, non-compounded distributions of Cash Flow
to the Holders in excess of 10% per annum of their Adjusted
Capital Investments for all prior fiscal quarters.
The amount equal to 2% of the aggregate selling price of
Partnership properties, which shall determine the amount of Cash
Flow distributable to the General Partner under clause (ii) above,
is subject to limitations as set forth in section 4.1 of the
Partnership Agreement. These limitations include, but are not
limited to, the following: such amount with respect to any
Partnership property shall not exceed 50% of the compensation
customarily changes in connection with sales of similar properties
in arm's length transactions by non-affiliates of JMB rendering
similar services as an ongoing public activity in the same
geographical location and for comparable property, and the amount
of such distribution plus the real estate commission paid to
anyone (other than the Partnership) in connection with the sale of
a Partnership property will not exceed the lesser of (i) 6% of the
gross purchase price for the property or (ii) the amount
customarily charged in connection with sales of properties in
arm's-length transactions by non-affiliates of JMB rendering
similar services as an ongoing public activity in the same
geographical location and for comparable properly.
If in any fiscal quarter the General Partner should
determine that reserves of the Partnership exceed the amount
deemed sufficient in connection with the Partnership's operations,
such reserves might be reduced and, if so, the amount of such
reduction for a particular quarter would be included in and
distributed as a portion of Cash Flow.
As described under "Plan of Distribution", the Merrill
Affiliate, in consideration of consulting services rendered to the
Partnership and the payment of $1 per Interest, will acquire
Interests (which are subject to certain limitations) equal to 1%
of the total Interests sold to the public hereby. In the event
the General Partner causes a Listing of the Interests and the
Merrill Affiliate's Interests are so listed, the Partnership
Agreement provides for an allocation of Profits (in the form of
gross income) in order to cause the capital account for each of
the Merrill Affiliate's Interests to equal the capital accounts of
other Holders for their Interests. As a result of such
allocation, in the event of a liquidation of the Partnership after
such allocation and such a listing, the Merrill Affiliate might be
entitled, in some circumstances, to a larger share of the
liquidation proceeds which share corresponds to such capital
account increase.
Except as set forth under "Plan of Distribution--Allocation
of Benefits During the Offering Period", the portion of Cash Flow
distributed to the Holders of Interests will be made pro rata to
the persons recognized on the books of record of the Partnership
as the Holders of Interests. See "Description of Assignee
Interests--Transferability of Interests".
As more fully described under "Business of the Partnership",
the Partnership intends to invest amounts in additional
development of its Communities, which amounts would otherwise be
available for distribution as Cash Flow, subject to the limitation
described in the following sentence. Under the Partnership
Agreement, the General Partner must use its best efforts to
distribute Cash Flow in amounts at least equal to Federal taxable
income (or components thereof) allocable to the Holders,
multiplied by the maximum individual Federal income tax rate for
the year in which such taxable income (or component thereof) is
realized.
All Profits or Losses of the Partnership for each fiscal
year (or portion thereof) beginning on or after the first date
designated by the General Partner on which Assignee Holders are
recognized as such generally will be allocated as follows: (i)
Profits will be allocated such that the General Partner and the
Associate Limited Partners will be allocated Profits equal to the
amount of Cash Flow distributed to them and the Holders will be
allocated the remaining Profits, and (ii) Losses will be allocated
2% to the General Partner and the Associate Limited Partners
(collectively) and 98% to the Holders. Except as set forth under
"Description of Assignee Interests--Transferability of Interests",
all such allocations of Profits or Losses to the Holders of
Interests generally will be made in proportion to the number of
Interests owned by each Holder at the end of the fiscal year in
which such Profits or Losses are incurred.

ALL ASSIGNEE HOLDERS WILL BE BOUND BY THE PROVISIONS OF THE
PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT, THE ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT AND THE
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT ATTACHED TO THIS PROSPECTUS AS EXHIBIT C
UPON PAYMENT OF THE SUBSCRIPTION AMOUNT AND ACCEPTANCE BY THE
PARTNERSHIP.
LIABILITY OF PARTNERS TO THIRD PARTIES
The General Partner will be liable for all general
obligations of the Partnership to the extent not paid by the
Partnership. JMB Realty Corporation and JMB Holdings Corporation,
affiliates of the General Partner, will not be liable for any such
obligations (except to the extent of any note issued by JMB
Holdings Corporation to the General Partner).
The Partnership Agreement provides that Limited Partners
will not be personally liable for the debts of the Partnership
beyond the amount committed by them to the capital of the
Partnership.
Assuming that a Holder of Interests does not take part in
the control of the business of the Partnership and otherwise acts
in conformity with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement,
the liability of such Holder will, under the Delaware Revised
Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the "Delaware Act"), be limited,
subject to certain possible exceptions, generally to the amount
contributed by such Holder or such Holder's predecessor in
interest to the capital of the Partnership. Under the Delaware
Act, (i) a Holder would be liable, for a period of one year after
the date of the return to the Holder of any part of such Holder's
capital contribution returned without violation of the Partnership
Agreement or the Delaware Act, for the amount of the returned
contribution to the extent necessary to discharge liabilities of
the Partnership to creditors who extended credit while the
returned contribution was held by the Partnership, and (ii) a
Holder would be liable, for a period of six years after the date
of the return to the Holder of any part of the Holder's capital
contribution returned in violation of the Partnership Agreement or
the Delaware Act, for the amount of the returned contribution.
Under the Delaware Act, a Holder may not receive a distribution
from the Partnership if, at the time of the distribution and after
giving effect thereto, the
all things which it deems to be necessary, convenient, appropriate
or advisable in connection therewith, including, but not limited
to, the preparation and filing on behalf of the Partnership of a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the securities commissions (or similar agencies or offices) of
such jurisdictions as the General Partner shall determine and the
execution or performance of agreements with underwriters and
others concerning the marketing of Additional Limited Partnership
Interests on such basis and upon such terms as the General Partner
shall determine.
G. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.3
(i) within ten days after the commencement of the public offering
contemplated by Section 3.3A, ML Real Estate Associates II may
acquire an interest in the Partnership as provided herein upon its
payment of $100.00 and (ii) to evidence such interest in the
Partnership, as of the First Admission Date and any Later
Admission Dates, the General Partner may issue Additional Limited
Partnership Interests to the Initial Limited Partner for
assignment to ML Real Estate Associates II (which shall be an
Assignee Holder thereof for purposes of this Agreement) in an
amount equal to 1% of the Additional Limited Partnership Limited
Partnership Interest. It is hereby understood that such
Additional Limited Partnership Interests shall be registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission contemporaneously with
those described in Section 3.3A.
SECTION 3.4 Partnership Capital
A. No Partner shall be paid interest on any Capital
Investment.
B. No Partner shall have the right to withdraw, or receive
any return of, his Capital Investment, except as may be
specifically provided herein.
C. Under circumstances requiring a return of any Capital
Investment, no Partner shall have the right to receive property
other than cash, except as may be specifically provided herein.
SECTION 3.5 Liability of Partners
No Limited Partner shall be liable for the debts,
liabilities, contracts or any other obligations of the
Partnership. Except as specifically provided herein with respect
to the Associate Limited Partners, a Limited Partner shall be
liable only to make the Capital Investment with respect to the
Limited Partnership Interests which he holds and shall not be
required to lend any funds to the Partnership or, after the
Capital Investments with respect to such Interests shall have been
paid, to make any further capital contribution to the Partnership.
Subject to the provisions of Section 5.8, no General Partner shall
have any personal liability for the repayment of the Capital
Investments with respect to Limited Partnership Interests. No
Limited Partner shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of
his capital contributions, except to the extent, if any, that
distributions made pursuant to this Agreement or upon termination
of the Partnership may be considered as such by law and then only
to the extent provided for therein.
ARTICLE FOUR
CASH DISTRIBUTIONS; ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS AND LOSSES
SECTION 4.1 Distributions of Cash Flow
Beginning with the first fiscal quarter following the fiscal
quarter in which the offering of Additional Limited Partnership
Interests to the public terminates as contemplated by Section 3.3,
all Cash Flow of the Partnership shall be distributed quarterly
within sixty (60) days after the close of each fiscal quarter as
follows:
(i) 90% to the Holders of Interests and 10% to the General
Partner and Associate Limited Partners (collectively) until the
Holders of Interests have received a cumulative, non-compounded,
10% per annum return on their Adjusted Capital Investments plus
the return of their Capital Investments; and
(ii) thereafter, all Cash Flow shall be distributed 85% to
the Holders of Interests and 15% to the General Partner and the
Associate Limited Partners (collectively); provided, however, that
the General Partner and the Associate Limited Partners
(collectively) shall be entitled to receive distributions of
amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of Interests under
this clause (ii) to the extent such additional amounts do not
exceed the lesser of (A) 2% of the total cumulative selling price
of all interests in real property of the Partnership which have
been sold or otherwise disposed of subsequent to the First
Admission Date and (B) 13% of the cumulative amount distributed
under this clause (ii) to all Persons.
Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (i), the 10% of Cash Flow
distributable to the General Partner and Associate Limited
Partners (collectively) under such clause (i) shall be limited as
follows:
(A) to the extent, if any, that one percent (1%) of the
Gross Asset Value (as defined below) is less than 5.2631% of Cash
Flow, the amount, distributed to the General Partner and Associate
Limited Partners (collectively) shall be reduced by the amount of
any such deficiency and the Holders of Interests shall receive
additional Cash Flow in the amount of such reduction;
(B) the receipt by the General Partner and the Associate
Limited Partners (collectively) of 4.7369% of total Cash Flow
under said clause (i) (the "Remainder") shall be deferred (and
such deferred amount shall be distributed to the Holders of
Interests) unless the Holders of Interests have received Cash Flow
distributions equal to a 12% per annum cumulative, non-compounded
return on their Capital Investments; provided, however, that such
deferral shall terminate at such time as the Holders of Interest
have received total distributions of Cash Flow equal to their
Capital Investments; any deferred amount of the Remainder shall be
distributable to the General Partner and the Associate Limited
Partners (collectively), (x) out of any Cash Flow otherwise
distributable to the Holders of Interests under the foregoing
clause (i) at such time as the Holders of Interests have received
a 12% per annum cumulative, non-compounded return on their Capital
Investments, or (y) in any event, to the extent of one-half of
Cash Flow otherwise distributable to the Holders of Interests at
such time as the Holders of Interests have received total
distributions of Cash Flow equal to their Capital Investments.
"Gross Asset Value" shall mean the dollar amount reflected on the
books and records maintained by the Partnership, at the Final
Admission Date, of the gross assets (including all of the
Partnership's interests in joint venture assets) acquired by the
Partnership, directly or indirectly, or, if sold or otherwise
disposed of, the proceeds of such assets, increased by the dollar
amount reflected on the books and records maintained by the
Partnership, at the time of their respective acquisition, of any
gross assets (including all of the Partnership's interests in
joint venture assets) which the Partnership subsequently acquires,
directly or indirectly, from the Seller or otherwise as
contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement or the Prospectus.
No amounts computed as 2% of the selling price of any real
property in connection with sale of a Property under (ii) above
shall exceed 50% of the amount customarily charged in connection
with sales of real properties in arm's-length transactions by non-
affiliates of JMB rendering services as an ongoing public activity
in the same geographical location and for comparable real
property; provided, however, that the amount computed as 2% of the
selling price of any Property plus the real estate commission paid
to anyone (other than commissions which inure to the benefit of
the (Partnership) in connection with the sale of a Property shall
in no event exceed the lesser of (i) 6% of the gross purchase
price of the Property or (ii) the amount customarily charged in
connection with sales or real properties in arm's-length
transactions by non-affiliates of JMB rendering real estate
brokerage services as an on-going public activity in the same
geographical location and for comparable real property.
The General Partner shall use its best efforts to operate
the Partnership so that such operation will provide sufficient
Cash Flow (including distributions under Section 3.3B) in order
that the aggregate Cash Flow distributions for each year
distributable to the Holders (other than ML Real Estate Associates
II) are at least equal to Federal taxable income (or components
thereof) allocable to the Holders (other than ML Real Estate
Associates II), multiplied by the maximum individual Federal
income tax rate for the year in which such taxable income (or
component thereof) is realized. Except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, this Section 4.1 shall apply in determining Cash
Flow distributions upon dissolution.
If, upon the completion of the liquidation and termination
of the Partnership and final distribution of all Partnership
funds, the aggregate capital contributions with respect to Limited
Partnership Interests issued under Section 3.3A exceed the sum of
the distributions of Cash Flow with respect to such number of such
Limited Partnership Interests under clause (i) of Section 4.1,
distributions with respect to such number of such Limited
Partnership Interests under Section 8.3C of Liquidation proceeds
and distributions, if any, with respect to such number of such
Limited Partnership Interests made with the proceeds of any
capital contributions made by the General Partner and Arvida/JMB
Associates (said excess is hereinafter referred to as the "Excess
Amount"), then the General Partner, the Associate Limited Partners
and ML Real Estate Associates II (excluding its successors and
assigns and except as provided in the succeeding paragraph) shall
make aggregate payments to the Holders (other than ML Real Estate
Associates II but including any unaffiliated successor or assign
thereof) in an amount equal to the lesser of the Excess Amount or
the amounts of Cash Flow received by the General Partner, the
Associate Limited Partners and ML Real Estate Associates II
pursuant to Section 4.1(i), such payments to be made by the
General Partner, the Associated Limited Partners and ML Real
Estate Associates II based upon the relative cumulative
distributions of Cash Flow received by each of them pursuant to
Section 4.1(i) up to the time of such payments.
In the event that the General Partner shall elect under
Section 5.5(i)(a) to cause Interests to be listed and quoted on a
United States national exchange or to be reported by the National
Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System and
the Interests issued to ML Real Estate Associates II under Section
3.3G are to be so listed and quoted or reported, the obligation of
ML Real Estate Associates II to make payments pursuant to the
preceding paragraph shall terminate on the date on which such
Interests are first listed and quoted or reported pursuant to such
election; provided that ML Real Estate Associates II, by prompt
notification to the General Partner, may elect to cause all (but
not less than all) of the Interests issue to ML Real Estate
Associates II under Section 3.3G not to be so listed and quoted or
reported. In the event of such an election by ML Real Estate
Associates II, ML Real Estate Associates II may subsequently
notify the general Partner that such Interests issued to ML Real
Estate Associates II under Section 3.3G shall be so listed and
quoted or reported and the General Partner shall cause such
Interests to be so listed and quoted or reported, provided that ML
Real Estate Associates II shall have agreed to pay all costs and
expenses of such listing and quotation or reporting. Any such
subsequent listing and quotation or reporting of such Interests of
ML Real Estate Associates II shall be treated for purposes of this
Section 4.1 and Section 4.3G as made pursuant to the election of
the General Partner under Section 5.5(i)(a). Except as aforesaid,
the obligation of ML Real Estate Associates II to make payments
under the preceding paragraph shall constitute the personal
obligation of ML Real Estate Associates II, and such obligation
shall continue to exist whether or not ML Real Estate Associates
II owns or holds any additional Limited Partnership Interests at
the time payments are required to be made pursuant to the
preceding paragraph.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing
provisions of this Section 4.1, on September 30, 1987, subject to
the making by the General Partner of the determination provided
below, a distribution of Cash Flow of the Partnership in an amount
equal to $20,000,000 shall be made to the General Partner and
Arvida/JMB Associates. Such distribution shall be made whether or
not the Partnership receives any Capital Investments with respect
to Additional Limited Partnership Interests in connection with the
public offering contemplated by Section 3.3A. Prior to making
such distribution, the General Partner shall determine that there
is sufficient working capital available or sufficient funds
available from debt financing to permit such distribution to be
made.
SECTION 4.2 Allocation of Profits or Losses
A. The Profits or Losses for each fiscal year of the
Partnership (or portion thereof) during the term of this Agreement
for any period beginning on or after the First Admission Date
shall, except as provided in Sections 4.2F and 4.3G, be allocated
as follows: (i) Profits shall be allocated, with respect to any
such fiscal period, such that the General Partner, each of the
Associate Limited Partners and ML Real Estate Associates II shall
be allocated Profits equal to the amount of Cash Flow actually
distributed to each of them, respectively, for such fiscal period
(without taking into account any distribution made pursuant to
the last paragraph of Section 4.1), except that in all events the
General Partner shall be allocated at least 1% of Profits, and the
Holders (other than ML Real Estate Associates II) shall be
allocated the remaining Profits and (ii) Losses shall be
allocated, with respect to any such fiscal period, 1% to the
General Partners 1% to the Associate Limited Partners
(collectively) and 98% to the Holders, except that, if ML
fungibility is achieved as provided in Section 4.3G, then with
respect to any fiscal period which commences on or after the date
on which Interests are first listed and quoted or reported
pursuant to an election made by the General Partner under Section
5.5J(i)(a), for the purpose of allocating Profits under clause (i)
above. ML Real Estate Associates II shall not be allocated
Profits equal to the amount of Cash Flow actually distributed to
it but instead shall be treated for such purpose as a Holder
(other than ML Real Estate Associates II).
The Profits of the Partnership for each fiscal year of the
Partnership (or portion thereof) during the term of this Agreement
for any period ending prior to the First Admission Date shall,
except as provided in Section 4.2F, be allocated 1% to the General
Partner, 98% to the Associate Limited Partners (collectively), and
1% to the Initial Limited Partner and (commencing on its
acquisition of a Partnership interest under Section 3.3G) ML Real
Estate Associates II, and the Losses of the Partnership for each
such fiscal year (or portion thereof) shall be allocated 70% to
the General Partner, 29% to the Associate Limited Partners
(collectively), and 1% to the Initial Limited Partner and
(commencing on its acquisition of a Partnership interest under
Section 3.3G) ML Real Estate Associates II. Such Profits or
Losses shall be determined on the basis of an interim closing of
the Partnership's books on the First Admission Date.
B. Syndication commissions for any fiscal year of the
Partnership shall be allocated to the Holders of Interests in an
amount equal to the syndication commission actually paid by the
Partnership in connection with the acquisition of the Interest of
such Holder. Such allocation shall take into account the
existence of any discount applicable to the syndication commission
of a particular Holder.
C. No allocation of Losses (which include items thereof)
under Section 4.2A shall be made to any Holder to the extent that
such allocation (a) would create a deficit balance in such
Holder's Capital Account which in absolute amount exceeds the
Minimum Gain allocable to such Holder as of the end of the fiscal
year for which such allocation would be made or (b) in the good
faith judgment of the General Partner and upon advice by the
Partnership's independent certified public accountants or legal
counsel, would otherwise likely not be respected under Section
704(b) of the Code. In any such event, the allocation of such
Losses thereof to such Holder shall be reduced to that extent.
D. Any credits of the Partnership as determined for Federal
income tax purposes for a fiscal year shall be allocated as
Profits of the Partnership in accordance with Section 4.2A. In
the event the adjusted tax basis of any "Section 38 property"
(within the meaning of Section 48 of the Code) of the Partnership
is increased pursuant to Section 48(q)(2) of the Code, such
increase shall be allocated among the Partners (as if such item
were in the nature of income or gain) in the same proportions as
the investment tax credit that is recaptured with respect to such
property is shared among the Partners. Any reduction in the
adjusted tax basis or cost of (or the qualified investment in)
such Section 38 property made pursuant to Section 48(q)(1) of the
Code shall be allocated among the Partners (as if such item were
in the nature of an expense or loss) in the same proportions as
the credit for such Section 38 property is allocated under this
Section 4.2D.
E. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be
expressed or implied in this Agreement, the interest of the
General Partner, in each material item of Partnership income,
gain, loss, deduction or credit will be equal to at least 1% of
each such item at all times during the existence of the
Partnership. In determining the General Partner's interest in
such items, Limited Partnership interests owned by the General
Partner shall not be taken into account.
F. Beginning on and after September 30, 1987, any gain
which is realized by the Partnership (or any partnership or joint
venture through which the Partnership holds Property) on the sale
or other disposition of Property which constitutes Distributed
Gain (as defined below) allocable to such Property shall be
allocated to the General Partner and Arvida/JMB Associates.
"Distributed Gain" with respect to all Properties shall be equal
to an amount equal to (i) the product of the Built-In Gain (as
defined below) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the amount of Cash Flow distributed to the General Partner and
Arvida/JMB Associates under the last paragraph of Section 4.1 and
the denominator of which is the Built-In Gain, minus (ii) the
amount of any Profit allocated to the General Partner and
Arvida/JMB Associates pursuant to the third succeeding sentence of
this Section 4.2F. "Built-In Gain" shall be equal to the amount
of net gain which would be realized in the aggregate by the
Partnership for Federal income tax purposes if, on September 30,
1987, all Properties were sold for their fair market value as
determined by the General Partner. The General Partner shall
determine the portion of Built-In Gain attributable to each
Property and shall allocate at such time or times as may be
required under this Agreement Distributed Gain among Properties to
which Built-In Gain is attributable on a proportionate basis based
upon the ratio that the portion of Built-In Gain attributable to
each Property bears to the aggregate Built-In Gain.
Notwithstanding any allocation contained in this Agreement (but
subject to Section 4.2E and the succeeding sentences of this
Section 4.2F), if at any time Profit is realized by the
Partnership, any current or anticipated reduction of the share of
the Partnership's indebtedness (including the Partnership's share
of partnership or joint venture indebtedness) of any, some or all
of the General Partner, Arvida/JMB Associates, Arvida/JMB
Partners or ML Real Estate Associates II or any anticipated cash
distribution to the General Partner, Arvida/JMB Associates,
Arvida/JMB Partners or ML Real Estate Associates II would cause
the deficit balances in absolute amount in the Capital Accounts of
any, some or all of the General Partner, Arvida/JMB Associates,
Arvida/JMB Partners or ML Real Estate Associates II to be greater
than its or their share of the Partnership's indebtedness
(including the Partnership's share of partnership or joint venture
indebtedness) after such reduction or distribution, then the
allocation of Profit under this Article Four to the General
Partner, Arvida/JMB Associates/ Arvida/JMB Partners and ML Real
Estate Associates II shall be increased (to be shared by them in
proportion to the deficit balances in their respective Capital
Accounts) to the extent necessary to cause the deficit balance in
the Capital Account of each of the General Partner, Arvida/JMB
Associates, Arvida/JMB Partners and ML Real Estate Associates II
to be no less than their respective shares of the Partnership's
indebtedness (including the Partnership's share of partnership or
joint venture indebtedness) after such reduction or distribution;
provided, however, that the allocation of Profit contained in this
sentence shall not apply to ML Real Estate Associates II if at the
times as of which such allocation is made ML Fungibility has been
achieved as provided in Section 4.3G, and further provided that to
the extent the amount of Profit allocated under this sentence is
insufficient to cause the deficit balance in the Capital Account
of each of the General Partner, Arvida/JMB Associates, Arvida/JMB
Partners and ML Real Estate Associates II to be no less than their
respective shares of the Partnership's indebtedness (including the
Partnership's share of partnership or joint venture indebtedness)
after such reduction or distribution, such Profit shall be
allocated, until Profit in an aggregate amount equal to
$20,000,000 has been allocated under this Section 4.2F to the
General Partner and Arvida/JMB Associates for the current and
prior Partnership years, first to the General Partner and
Arvida/JMB Associates (in proportion to the respective deficit
balances in their Capital Accounts), in preference and priority to
Arvida/JMB Partners and ML Real Estate Associates II, to the
extent necessary to cause the deficit balance in the Capital
Account of each of the General Partner and Arvida/JMB Associates
to be no less than their respective shares of the Partnership's
indebtedness (including the Partnership's share of partnership or
joint venture indebtedness) after such reduction or distribution.
Not withstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (but
after giving effect to Section 8.2 and subject to the last
sentence of this Section 4.2F), if the General Partner or
Arvida/JMB Associates has a deficit balance in its Capital Account
following the Liquidation of its interest in the Partnership, as
determined after taking into account all Capital Account
adjustments for the Partnership taxable year during which such
Liquidation occurs (other than any adjustment for a capital
contribution made pursuant to this sentence) and after adjusting
Capital Accounts for actual or anticipated Profits or Losses
allocable among the Partners in accordance with, or as if there
had been (in accordance with adjustments under the first sentence
of Section 11.4), an actual disposition of the Partnership
properties at their fair market value, the General Partner and
Arvida/JMB Associates will make capital contributions in an
aggregate amount (to be shared by them in proportion to the
deficit balances in their respective Capital Accounts) which is
equal to the smaller of (i) such deficit balances or (ii)
$20,000,000; provided, however, that neither the $20,000,000
amount specified in (ii) nor the General Partner's share of such
amount shall limit any contribution which the General Partner is
required to make under Section 8.2. Such capital contributions
shall be made on or before the end of the Partnership taxable year
during which such Liquidation occurs (or, if later, within 90 days
after the date of such Liquidation). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the distributions to the General Partner and
Arvida/JMB Associates under the last paragraph of Section 4.1 were
determined not to cause (without taking into account any Profit or
Loss which might arise from such distribution), in the fiscal year
in which such distribution occurs, an aggregate reduction in their
capital accounts (as determined under Section 704(b) of the Code)
equal to the amount of such distribution, then the first four
sentences of this Section 4.2F shall not apply for any period.
SECTION 4.3 Determination of Allocations and Distributions Among
Partners
A. Any Assignee Holder of an Additional Limited Partnership
Interest who is recognized as such pursuant to Section 7.2 shall
be allocated all Profits or Losses of the Partnership allocable,
and shall be entitled to all Cash Flow distributable, with respect
to such Additional Limited Partnership Interest as herein
provided; provided, however, that without limitation the share of
Profits allocable with respect to Additional Limited Partnership
Interests held by ML Real Estate Associates II shall be as
provided in Sections 4.2A, 4.2F and 4.3G. Except as otherwise
provided in Sections 4.2C, 4.3D, 4.3E, 4.3F and 4.3G and subject
to the proviso in the preceding sentence, all Profits or Losses
allocable with respect to Limited Partnership Interests and,
except as provided in Section 3.3B, all Cash Flow distributable
with respect to Limited Partnership Interests, shall be allocated
or distributed, as the case may be, to each of the Holders of
Interests entitled to such allocation or distribution in the ratio
which the Capital Investments with respect to such Limited
Partnership Interests bear to the aggregate Capital Investments
with respect to all Limited Partnership Interests entitled to such
allocation or distribution.
B. Except as provided in Sections 4.3C, 4.3E and 4.3G, all
Profits or Losses allocable with respect to Limited Partnership
Interests shall be allocated, and all Cash Flow distributable with
respect to Limited Partnership Interests shall be distributed, as
the case may be, to the Holders of Interests recognized as such as
of the last day of the fiscal period for which such allocation or
distribution is to be made.
C. Except in the case of Limited Partnership Interests held
by ML Real Estate Associates II during any fiscal quarter before
or which is the fiscal quarter in which ML Fungibility is achieved
as provided in Section 4.3G, to the extent permitted by law, all
Profits or Losses of the Partnership for a fiscal year allocable
with respect to any Limited Partnership Interest which may have
been transferred during such year shall be allocated between the
transferor and the transferee based upon the number of quarterly
periods that each was the recognized Holder of Interests, without
regard to the results of Partnership operations during particular
quarterly periods of such fiscal year and without regard to
whether cash distributions were made to the transferor or
transferee.
D. Except as provided in the last paragraph of Section 4.1
and subject to the second paragraph of Section 4.1, the General
Partner's and Associate Limited Partners' distributive share of
Cash Flow shall be distributed 10.1% to Arvida/JMB Partners, to
the General Partner in an amount equal to 1% of the total Cash
Flow being distributed at such time under Section 4.1 (i) on 4.1
(ii), as the case may be, and the remainder to Arvida/JMB
Associates. Profits or Losses allocable to the Associate Limited
Partners (collectively) under the second paragraph of Section 4.2A
and Losses allocable to the Associate Limited Partners under the
first
paragraph of Section 4.2A shall be allocated 89.0% to Arvida/JMB
Associates and 11.0% to Arvida/JMB Partners. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 4.2F, distributive shares of Cash Flow and
Distributed Gain allocable to the General Partner and Arvida/JMB
Associates under the last paragraph of Section 4.1 and under
Section 4.2F shall be distributed or allocated, respectively, 1%
to the General Partner and 99% to Arvida/JMB Associates. Profits
or Losses allocable to the Initial Limited Partner and ML Real
Estate Associates II under the second paragraph of Section 4.2A
shall be allocated between them in the ratio of the respective
amounts paid by them for their Partnership Interests at that time.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.2A and this
Section 4.3D, any Partnership deduction directly resulting from
the receipt of a Partnership Interest by any Partner or Holder
(other than a Holder which is not ML Real Estate Associates II)
shall be allocated entirely to such Partner or Holder.
E. In the event that there are Later Admission Dates, all
Profits or Losses allocable to the Holders of Interests for the
period from the First Admission Date or any such Later Admission
Date through the next succeeding Later Admission Date will be
allocated in accordance with Section 4.3A solely to the Holders of
Interests as of or prior to such preceding First Admission Date or
Later Admission Date. For purposes of this Section 4.3E, Holders
of Interests will be deemed to have acquired their Limited
Partnership Interests on the first day or such other day as the
General Partner may determine of the month in which such
Additional Limited Partnership Interests have been assigned to
such Persons. Profits or Losses incurred for the period from any
such First Admission Date or Later Admission Date through the next
succeeding Later Admission date will be allocated on the basis of
an interim closing of the Partnership's books on such Later
Admission Date. The General Partner may, in its sole and absolute
discretion and at any time, adopt any other convention or
conventions (including without limitation a daily, semi-monthly or
full-month convention) regarding the distribution of Cash Flow or
the allocation of Profits or Losses with respect to any Limited
Partnership Interest that may be or may have been transferred
during any year.
F. Subject to Section 4.2C, if at the time of an allocation
pursuant to Section 42.A of Profits or Losses for a fiscal year of
the Partnership (or portion thereof) during the term of this
Agreement for a period beginning on or after the Final Admission
Date the Capital Accounts with respect to each Limited Partnership
Interest (other than any Limited Partnership Interest held by ML
Real Estate Associates II) are not then equal:
(i) Profits allocated to the Holders (other than ML Real
Estate Associates II) pursuant to Section 4.2A shall be allocated
to the Holder (other than ML Real Estate Associates II) of a
Limited Partnership Interest with a Capital Account which is
smaller in amount (or greater in deficit) than the Capital Account
for any other such Interest (other than any Limited Partnership
Interest held by ML Real Estate Associates II) until the balance
in such Capital Account equals the balance of the Capital Account
of such Limited Partnership Interest (other than any Limited
Partnership Interest held by ML Real Estate Associates II) which
was next smallest in amount (or next greatest in deficit) before
such allocation, and thereafter such Profits shall continue to be
allocated to each successive Holder or groups of Holders of
Interests (other than ML Real Estate Associates II) with Capital
Accounts which are smallest in amount (or greatest in deficit),
until either the balances of all Capital Accounts with respect to
Limited Partnership Interests (other than any Limited Partnership
Interest held by ML Real Estate Associates II) are equal or all
such Profits have been allocated; and
(ii) Losses allocated to the Holders pursuant to Section
4.2A shall be allocated to the Holder (other than ML Real Estate
Associates II) of a Limited Partnership Interest with a Capital
Account which is greater in amount (or smaller in deficit) than
the Capital Account for any other such Interest (other than any
Limited Partnership Interest held by ML Real Estate Associates II)
until the balance in such Capital Account equals the balance of
the Capital Account of such Limited Partnership Interest (other
than any Limited Partnership Interest held by ML Real Estate
Associates II) which was next greatest in amount (or next smallest
in deficit) before such allocation, and thereafter such Losses
shall continue to be allocated to each successive Holder or groups
of Holders of Interests (other than ML Real Estate Associates II)
with Capital Accounts which are greatest in amount (or smallest in
deficit), until either the balances of all Capital Accounts with
respect to Limited Partnership Interests (other than any Limited
Partnership Interest held by ML Real Estate Associates II) are
equal or all such Losses have been allocated.
The foregoing subparagraphs (i) and (ii) shall not apply to,
or with reference to, any Limited Partnership Interest held by ML
Real Estate Associates II.
G. In the event that the General Partner shall elect under
Section 5.5(i)(a) to cause Interests to be listed and quoted on a
United States national exchange or to be reported by the National
Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System and
Interests of ML Real Estate Associates II are so listed and quoted
or reported, to the extent permitted by law and subject to Section
4.2F, for the fiscal year of the Partnership during the term of
this Agreement in which such Interests are first listed and quoted
or reported pursuant to such election, Profits (in the form of
gross income) realized by the Partnership during the portion of
such fiscal year ending on the day immediately preceding the date
on which such Interests are first so listed and quoted or reported
shall be allocated to ML Real Estate Associates II in such amount
as is necessary to cause the Capital Account for each Limited
Partnership Interest held by ML Real Estate Associates II and
issued to it under Section 3.3G to equal the largest balance in
the Capital Account for any Limited Partnership Interest held by a
Holder (other than ML Real Estate Associates II (the completion of
such equalization pursuant to this Section 4.3G or another
provision of this Agreement and such listing and quotation or
reporting is herein referred to as "ML Fungibility"). Such
allocation of Profits (in the form of gross income) to ML Real
Estate Associates II shall be made as of the end of the day
immediately preceding the date on which such Interests are first
listed and quoted or reported pursuant to the aforementioned
election.
ARTICLE FIVE
RIGHTS, POWERS AND DUTIES OF GENERAL PARTNER
SECTION 5.1 Management and Control of the Partnership
A. Subject to the Consent of the Limited Partners where
required by this Agreement, the General Partner, within the
authority granted to it under this Agreement, shall have the
exclusive right to manage the business of the Partnership and is
hereby authorized to take any action of any kind and to do
anything and everything it deems necessary in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement.
B. No Limited Partner (except one who may also be a General
Partner, and then only in its capacity as General Partner within
the scope of its authority hereunder) shall participate in or have
any control over the Partnership business or shall have any
authority or right to act for or bind the Partnership. The
Limited Partners hereby Consent to the exercise by the General
Partner of the powers conferred on it by this Agreement.
C. The General Partner shall initially, upon completion of
the offering contemplated by the Prospectus, establish Reserves
for working capital and to pay taxes, insurance, Debt Service,
repairs, replacements or renewals, or other costs and expenses
incident to the ownership or operation of the Properties and for
such other purposes, as the General Partner may determine, in an
amount equal to not less than 2% of the Gross Proceeds of the
Offering and thereafter shall maintain such Reserves in such
amounts as the General Partner deems appropriate under the
circumstances from time to time.
D. All of the Partnership's expenses shall be billed
directly to and paid by the Partnership. Reimbursements to the
General Partner or any Affiliates shall not be allowed (other than
for Organization and Offering Expenses, which shall be allowed),
except for (i) the actual cost to the General Partner or such
Affiliates of goods, materials and services used for or by the
Partnership and obtained from entities which are not affiliated
with the General Partner; (ii) salaries and related salary
expenses for administrative services which could be performed
directly for the Partnership by independent parties, such as
legal, accounting, transfer agent, data processing, duplicating
and other such services; (iii) Partnership reports and
communications to investors; (iv) other administrative services,
provided that such services are necessary to the prudent operation
of the Partnership; and (v) reimbursements to Arvida in connection
with its carrying out the duties described in the Management and
Supervisory Agreement authorized in Section 5.2 a (ix) hereof. No
reimbursement under clause (ii) through (v) above shall be
permitted for services for which the General Partner or its
Affiliates receive a separate fee. No reimbursement under clause
(ii) through (iv) above shall be permitted for (a) the salaries of
and related salary expenses incurred by any Controlling Person (as
defined hereinafter) and (b) any indirect general or
administrative overhead expenses, such as rent, travel expenses
and other items generally falling under the category of overhead,
incurred in performing services for the Partnership which are not
directly attributable to such services. "Controlling Person" for
purposes of this Section 5.1D shall mean any Person, regardless of
title, who performs executive or senior management functions for
the Sponsor or the General Partner similar to those of directors,
executive management and senior management, or any Person who
either holds a 5% or more equity interest in the Sponsor or the
General Partner or has the power to direct or cause the direction
of the Sponsor or the General Partner, whether through the
ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise, or, in
the absence of a specific role or title, any Person having the
power to direct or cause the direction of the management level
employees and policies of the Sponsor or the General Partner. It
is not intended that every Person who carries a title such as vice
president, senior vice president, secretary or treasurer be
included in the definition of Controlling Person. In no event
shall any amount charged to the actual cost of such services or
(b) in the case of reimbursements under clause (ii) through (iv)
above 90% of the amount which the Partnership would be required to
pay to independent parties for comparable services. In the
Partnership's annual report to Limited Partners, there shall be
provided an itemized breakdown of reimbursements made pursuant to
this Section 5.1D. The reimbursement for expenses provided for in
this Section 5.1D shall be made regardless of whether any
distributions are made to the Limited Partners under the
provisions of Section 4.1. The provision of any goods, material
or services for which reimbursements are authorized under Section
5.1D(i) shall be set forth in a written contract which precisely
describes the goods, materials or services to be provided and all
compensation therefor. Such contract shall provide that it may be
modified only with the consent of Limited Partners holding a
majority of the then outstanding Limited Partnership Interests
(except as to immaterial or conforming modifications, which shall
require only the consent of the General Partner) and that it shall
be terminable by either party, without penalty, upon sixty (60)
days' prior written notice.
E. In the event the General Partner deems the approximately
200-acre site near Sarasota which is owned by an existing joint
venture in which the Partnership owns an interest to be suitable
for development as a regional shopping mall or other shopping
center, development of such Property may be done jointly with
Affiliates of JMB. In the event of such a development through a
joint venture with Affiliates of JMB, the existing joint venture's
interest in the land would be valued at its appraised fair market
value, and the Affiliate would make a pro rata cash contribution.
All other contributions would be strictly pro rata. Such joint
venture development shall not be entered into by the Partnership
unless (x) there are no duplicate property management or other
fees, and (y) the Partnership and such Affiliate each enjoy a
right of first refusal as regards the sale of the equity interest
of the other.
SECTION 5.2 Authority of the General Partner
A. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, the
General Partner, for, and in the name and on behalf of, the
Partnership is hereby authorized:
(i) to acquire, either directly or indirectly through
any joint venture, joint participation, partnership (other than
any public or privately offered limited partnership) or otherwise,
by purchase, lease, exchange or otherwise any real or personal
property (including the Properties) which may be necessary,
convenient or incidental to the accomplishment of the purposes of
the Partnership; provided, however, that real properties shall not
be acquired at an aggregate purchase price in excess of their
aggregate appraised value as determined by appraisals prepared by
competent independent appraisers, and further provided that
investments by the Partnership in other partnerships or ventures
shall be limited to partnerships or ventures which own and operate
(directly or through an interest in another partnership or joint
venture) a particular Property in which the Partnership (either
alone or with an Affiliate of the General Partner) acquires a
controlling interest and which do not involve duplicate property
management or other fees;
(ii) to operate, maintain, finance, improve, own,
grant options with respect to, sell, convey, assign, mortgage,
exchange or lease and to cause to have constructed any real estate
and any personal property necessary, convenient or incidental to
the accomplishment of the purposes of the Partnership and to
perform construction work or hire contractors to perform
construction work in connection with any of the foregoing:
(iii) to execute any and all agreements, contracts,
documents, certifications and instruments necessary or convenient
in connection with the development, management, maintenance and
operation of the Properties;
(iv) to borrow money and issue evidences of
indebtedness necessary, convenient or incidental to the
accomplishment of the purposes of the Partnership, and to secure
the same by mortgage, pledge or other lien on any Properties or
other assets of the Partnership; provided, however, that in
connection with the borrowing of money, recourse for the repayment
of which is limited solely to property of the Partnership, no
lender shall be granted or acquire, at any time as a result of
making such a loan, any direct or indirect interest in the
profits, capital or property of the Partnership other than as a
secured creditor;
(v) to execute, in furtherance of any or all of the
purposes of the Partnership, any deed, lease, mortgage, mortgage
note, bill of sale, contract or other instrument purporting to
convey, exchange or encumber the real or personal property of the
Partnership;
(vi) to prepay in whole or in part, refinance, recast,
increase, modify or extend any mortgages affecting the Properties
and in connection therewith to execute any extensions or renewals
of mortgages on any of the Properties;
(vii) to execute an agency agreement with Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated pursuant to which said
firm would assist the Partnership in the sale of Interests and
pursuant to which the Partnership would agree, subject to the
final four sentences of Section 5.8, to indemnify and hold
harmless said firm or any selected dealer from any liability
incurred by it in so acting as agent for the Partnership;
(viii) to deal with, or otherwise engage in business
with, or provide service to and receive compensation therefor
from, any Person who has provided or may in the future provide any
services to, lend money to, sell property to, or purchase property
from, any Affiliate of the General Partner; provided, however,
that no such dealing, engaging in business or providing services
may involve any direct or indirect payment by the Partnership of
any rebate or any reciprocal arrangement which would have the
effect of circumventing any restriction set forth herein upon
dealings with Affiliates of the General Partner;
(ix) to execute the Management and Supervisory
Agreement with Arvida;
(x) to, in its sole discretion, make or revoke (and in
the case of any partnership or joint venture through which the
Partnership holds an interest in property, cause to be made or
revoked) the election referred to in Section 754 of the Code;
(xi) to request such information from any Holder as
may be reasonably required (as determined by the General Partner)
to comply with any Federal, state or local tax laws;
(xii) to, in its sole discretion, designate itself or
any other General Partner as the Tax Matters Partner within the
meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code;
(xiii) to engage in any kind of activity and to
perform and carry out contracts of any kind necessary to, or in
connection with, or incidental to the accomplishment of the
purposes of the Partnership, as may be lawfully carried on or
performed by a partnership under the laws of each state in which
the Partnership is then formed or qualified; and
(xiv) to obtain consulting services from ML Real
Estate Associates II or its Affiliates.
In the case of the making or revocation of any election under (x)
above or any designation under (xii) above, each of the Partners
will, upon request, supply such information and execute such
documents as are necessary to effectuate such election or
revocation, or such designation. In the case of any request for
information under (xi), any Holder to which any such request is
sent shall comply with such request.
B. Any Person dealing with the Partnership or the General
Partner may rely upon a certificate signed by the General Partner,
thereunto duly authorized, as to:
(i) the identity of any General Partner or Limited
Partner hereof;
(ii) the existence or non-existence of any fact or
facts which constitute a condition precedent to acts by a General
Partner or which are in any other manner germane to the affairs of
the Partnership;
(iii) the Persons who are authorized to execute and
deliver any instrument or document of the Partnership; or
(iv) any act or failure to act by the Partnership or
as to any other matter whatsoever involving the Partnership or any
Partner.
C. The General Partner shall maintain in its records for
at least five years any appraisal required to be obtained under
the provisions of clause (i) of section 5.2A.
SECTION 5.3 Authority of Partners to Deal with Partnership
A. Without limitation upon the other powers set forth
herein, the General Partner is expressly authorized (and where
indicated, directed), in the name of and on behalf of the
Partnership, to do the following:
(i) The General Partner shall commit a percentage of
Gross Proceeds of the Offering to Investment in Properties which,
at a minimum, is equal to the greater of: (i) 80% of the Gross
Proceeds of the Offering reduced by .1625% for each 1% of the
aggregate indebtedness of the Partnership; or (ii) 67% of Gross
Proceeds of the Offering. For purposes of this calculation,
"aggregate indebtedness" is the percentage resulting when such
aggregate indebtedness is divided by the aggregate purchase price
of all Properties, excluding Front-End Fees. If the Front-End
Fees must be reduced for the Partnership to commit the minimum
percentage of Gross Proceeds of the Offering to Investment in
Properties as set forth above, the General Partner shall cause JMB
or its Affiliates to reimburse the Partnership for the amount of
any such excess Acquisition Fees and Acquisition and Financing
Guaranty Fee received by them.
(ii) The General Partner may enter into an agency
agreement with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated
providing for the payment of commissions to JMB Securities
Corporation for participating as a selected dealer in the offering
of Additional Limited Partnership Interests to the public pursuant
to Section 3.3; provided, however, that there shall be no selling
commissions paid or received by any Person in connection with the
sale of Additional Limited Partnership Interests to (and for the
account of) any Assignee Holder who is the General Partner, an
Affiliated Person of the General Partner or an officer, director,
shareholder, employee or partner thereof.
(iii) The General Partner may, subject to the
conditions of this Agreement, enter into agreements with and pay
fees to JMB or other Affiliated Persons of the General Partner in
consideration of property management and leasing services
respecting commercial and industrial Properties which are
necessary to the prudent operation of the Partnership (it being
understood and agreed that the provision of such property
management and leasing services does not constitute a part of the
duties or obligations of the General Partner as a general partner
of the Partnership); provided, however, that the General Partner
shall not enter into any agreement for property management with an
Affiliate on terms less favorable to the Partnership than those
customarily charged for similar services in the relevant
geographical area and in no event shall fees to an Affiliate of
the General Partner for property management and leasing services
exceed the following schedule:
(a) in the case of industrial or commercial
Property other than that described in the following subparagraph
(b), the maximum fee from such Property shall be 6% of the gross
receipts from the Property being managed where the Affiliate of
the General Partner performs leasing, re-leasing and leasing-
related services, and the maximum fee shall be 3% of gross
receipts from the Property being managed if the Affiliate of the
General Partner does not perform leasing, re-leasing and leasing-
related services with respect to the Property; and
(b) in the case of industrial or commercial
Properties which are leased for ten or more years on a net (or a
similar) basis, the maximum fee shall be 1% of the gross receipts
from the Property being managed, except for a one-time initial
leasing fee of 3% of the gross receipts on each lease payable over
the first five full years of the original term of the lease.
Where a property management agreement with an
Affiliate has been entered into with respect to a Property, no
fees in addition to those payable to such Affiliate under such
agreement shall be paid by the Partnership to any Persons in
consideration of their performance of property management,
bookkeeping services or other property management services with
respect to the same Property. Any property management agreements
with Affiliates shall be terminable by either party, without
penalty, upon sixty (60) days' prior written notice and may be
modified only with the consent of the Holders of the majority of
the Interests (except as to immaterial or conforming amendments
which shall require only the consent of the General Partner).
(iv) The General Partner may pay or cause to be paid
brokerage commissions to JMB Insurance Agency, Inc. or other
Affiliated Persons of the General Partner in connection with
insurance covering the Properties subject to the conditions that:
(a) before any such brokerage services are provided, there will
have been received quotations from two independent insurance
brokers or carriers or underwriters relating to the proposed
coverage, which quotations shall be upon coverage and terms
comparable to those proposed to be provided by JMB Insurance
Agency, Inc., and such agency shall not provide such insurance
brokerage services unless it can obtain such insurance at a cost
which is no greater than the lower of the two unaffiliated
entities; (b) if at any time JMB Insurance Agency, Inc. ceases to
derive at least 75% of its income from its business with entities
which are not sponsored by JMB and its Affiliates, JMB Insurance
Agency, Inc. shall not earn income from any additional insurance
placements on behalf of the Partnership or any Property then owned
by it; and (c) any agreement with Affiliates to provide insurance
brokerage services to the Partnership shall be terminable by
either party, without penalty, upon sixty (60) days' prior written
notice.
(v) The General Partner may, in the event that Gross
Proceeds of the Offering are less than $325,000,000, in its
discretion, (a) obtain additional financing to pay the costs of
owning the Properties; (b) if the additional financing under the
immediately preceding clause (a) is insufficient, to enter into a
joint venture or joint participation with an Affiliate or
Affiliates of the General Partner which would provide for the
ownership of such Properties on a pro rata basis; provided,
however, that with respect to such investment with an Affiliate,
(s) the Partnership and such Affiliate, considered together, have
or acquire a controlling interest in any ventures or partnerships
which own the Properties, (t) there are no duplicate property
management or other fees, (u) the Partnership's investment is on
substantially the same terms and conditions as the investment of
such Affiliate, (v) the purchase price of the Partnership's
investment has been confirmed by independent appraisal as not
greater than the appraised value of such investment, (w) such
investment shall not result in the breach, abrogation or
circumvention of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of
this Agreement, (x) the investments are not in publicly or
privately offered limited partnerships or other publicly offered
real estate investment entities, (y) the compensation to the
General Partner, JMB and their Affiliates received attributable to
such investment is substantially identical to the compensation
received by the general partners and sponsors of such Affiliate
and by the Affiliates of such general partners and sponsors
attributable to such investment, and (z) the Partnership and such
Affiliate must each enjoy a right of first refusal as regards the
sale of the equity interest of the other.
(vi) The General Partner may, notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, pay or cause to be paid to an
Affiliate allocable reimbursements of overhead expenses with
respect to any Partnership Property being developed pursuant to
Section 5.1E as a mall or shopping center through a joint venture
with one or more Affiliates of JMB, together with development fees
in connection therewith in an amount equal to the lesser of 5% of
the cost of development or the amount which would be charged by an
independent third party rendering comparable services; provided,
however, that such joint venture shall obtain a report from an
independent appraiser of the appraised value of the mall or
shopping center upon completion of the Property; provided,
further, that to the extent that the actual costs of development,
including the development fees paid to such Affiliate, exceed such
appraised value of the project, the development fees will be
remitted by such Affiliate to the Partnership to the extent of the
excess, if any, of such development costs over such appraised
value. Development services provided by such Affiliate shall be
embodied in a written contract which describes the terms thereof
and the compensation to be paid therefor. Such contract shall be
terminable by either party, without penalty, upon sixty (60) days'
written notice, and may be modified only with the consent of the
Holders of the majority of the Interests (except as to immaterial
or conforming amendments which shall only require the consent of
the General Partner). Such contract shall be disclosed to all
Partners in the reports provided pursuant to Sections 9.4A and
9.4C (stating the compensation paid to such Affiliate). Such
Affiliate must be independently engaged in performing development
services rendered for the development of shopping malls or
shopping centers.
(vii) The validity of any transaction, agreement or
payment involving the Partnership and the General Partner or any
Affiliate thereof not otherwise prohibited by the terms of this
Agreement shall not be affected by reason of the relationship
between the Partnership and the General Partner or such Affiliate.
All transactions, agreements or payments involving the Partnership
and the General Partner or any Affiliate thereof shall be on terms
no less favorable to the Partnership than those available to the
Partnership in similar dealings with unaffiliated third parties.
B. The General Partner shall be subject to the following
prohibitions: (i) except to the extent that related commissions
inure to the benefit of the Partnership neither the General
Partner nor any Affiliate of the General Partner shall be given
the exclusive right to sell or exclusive employment to sell any
Community Property of the Partnership and no amounts shall be
computed under Section 4.1 as 2% of the selling price of a
Community Property under Section 4.1(ii) unless the General
Partner or Affiliates of the General Partner perform substantial
services in connection with the sale of a Community Property; (ii)
neither any General Partner nor any Affiliated Person of the
General Partner shall receive directly or indirectly a commission
or fee in connection with the reinvestment of the proceeds of the
sale, exchange or refinancing of any Property; (iii) neither any
General Partner nor any Affiliated Person of the General Partner
shall loan money to the Partnership unless (a) the principal
amount of such financing shall be scheduled to be paid over a
period of less than 48 months, and more than 50% of the principal
amount of such financing shall be scheduled to be paid during the
first 24 months and (b) the interest rates and other finance
charges and fees shall not be in excess of the lessor of (x) if
the loan was made in connection with a particular Property, the
amounts that are charged by unrelated banks on comparable loans
for the same purpose in the locality of the Property in connection
with which the loan was made or (y) the rate per annum equal to 2%
plus the reference rate of Continental Illinois National Bank and
Trust Company of Chicago, or provide permanent financing to the
Partnership on a Property owned by the Partnership or make loans
with a prepayment charge or penalty which are evidenced or secured
by either a first or junior or all-inclusive note or mortgage
except to the extent that such prepayment charge or penalty is
attributable to an underlying encumbrance. In the event the
Partnership utilizes any all-inclusive note, said note shall
provide that (a) the Partnership shall receive credit on its
obligation under said note for payments made by the Partnership
directly on the underlying encumbrance; (b) that a bank, escrow
company or other paying agent shall collect payments (other than
amounts not to be applied to the underlying encumbrance) on the
all inclusive note and make disbursements therefrom to the holder
of the underlying encumbrance prior to making any disbursement to
the holder of the all-inclusive note or, in the alternative, all
payments on the all-inclusive note and underlying notes shall be

shall be terminable by either party, without penalty, upon sixty

Partnership purpose;
(v) admit a Person as a General Partner, except as

Limited Partners, the General Partner shall not have the authority
to:
(i) sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all of the Partnership's real property developments and
investments in real property (except for the sale or other
disposition of real property developments or investments in real

C. The General Partner on behalf of the Partnership shall
not purchase, lease or acquire any Property from any General
Partner or any Affiliated Person of any General Partner or from
any Person in which any General Partner or any Affiliated Person

the foregoing, the General Partner or an Affiliate may purchase
Property in its own name, and assume loans in connection therewith
and temporarily hold title thereto for the purpose of facilitating
the acquisition of such Property or the borrowing of money or
obtaining of financing for the Partnership, or completion of
construction of the Property, provided that such Property is
purchased by the Partnership for an investment no greater than the
cost of such Property to the General Partner (or such Affiliate),
that there is no amendment to the stated interest rate of any note
secured by such Property between the time it is acquired by the
General Partner (or such Affiliate) and the time it is acquired by
the Partnership and that no other benefit directly or indirectly
arising out of such transaction (other than those incidental to
the ownership of the property during the time it was held by the
General Partner or such Affiliate) is received by any General
Partner or Affiliated Person thereof apart from compensation
otherwise permitted by this Agreement. Except as otherwise
provided herein, the Partnership shall not sell Property to any
General Partner or any Affiliated Person of a General Partner.

(b) shall be terminable on 60 days' prior written notice by the
Partnership without penalty and (c) shall provide that any rentals
from subleases relating thereto which are in excess of the rentals
from such lease shall be paid to the Partnership and, provided
further, that no more than 3% of the office space of the
Properties shall be leased to JMB or its Affiliates (other than
the Partnership and Arvida). The Partnership shall not make any
loans to any General Partner or any Affiliate of the General
Partner nor to any other Person except as provided in Section

Affiliates of the General Partner permitted by Sections 5.1E and
5.3A(v), (ii) the making of loans or advances by the Partnership
to a joint venture partnership which owns a particular property as

Affiliated Person of the General Partner in the form of a loan.
D. The General Partner shall not on behalf of the
Partnership acquire any Property (other than cash) in exchange for
Interests in the Partnership.
E. The General Partner, in its capacity as such, or in its
capacity as a general partner in any partnership or joint venture
which may hold title to any Property under Section 5.3A(v), shall
not do or cause the Partnership to do, any act which would not be
permitted under this Agreement to be done by it as the General
Partner if title to such Property were held directly by the
Partnership, and shall, in general, act, and cause the Partnership
to act, in such capacity in the same manner as if title to such
Property were held directly by the Partnership.
SECTION 5.5 Duties and Obligations of the General Partner
A. The General Partner shall take action which may be
necessary or appropriate (i) for the continuation of the
Partnership's valid existence as a limited partnership under the
laws of the State of Delaware (and of each other jurisdiction in
which such existence is necessary to the limited liability of the
Limited partners or to enable the Partnership to conduct the
business in which it is engaged) and (ii) for the acquisition,
development, maintenance, preservation and operation of the
Properties as contemplated by the Prospectus in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement and applicable laws and
regulations (it being understood and agreed, however, that the
performance of day-to-day development and property management
services for specific Properties is not the obligation of the
General Partner of the Partnership).
B. The General Partner shall devote to the Partnership such
time as may be necessary for the proper performance of its duties
hereunder, but neither the officers nor the directors of the
General Partner shall be expected to devote their full time to the
performance of such duties.
C. The General Partner shall at all times use its best
efforts to maintain its net worth at a sufficient level to meet
all requirements of the Code, under currently applicable rulings,
regulations and policies of the Internal Revenue Service and as
hereafter interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service, any agency
of the Federal government or the courts, to assure that the
Partnership will be classified for Federal income tax purposes as
a partnership and not as an association taxable as a corporation,
and shall, irrespective of such requirements, maintain its net
worth at an amount at least equal to the lessor of 10% of the
aggregate capital contributions to the Partnership or $25,000,000.
The General Partner shall use its best efforts to cause JMB
Holdings Corporation to comply in all respects with the terms of
its obligation which shall be comparable to the General Partner's
obligation and which shall be set forth in a written commitment of
JMB Holdings Corporation to be received by the Partnership prior
to the issuance of Additional Limited Partnership Interests under
Section 3.3A.
D. The General Partner shall take such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to form or qualify the
Partnership under the laws of any jurisdiction in which the
Partnership is doing business or in which such formation or
qualification is necessary in order to protect the limited
liability of the Limited Partners or in order to continue in
effect such formation or qualification. The General Partner shall
file or cause to be filed for recordation in the office of the
appropriate authorities of the State of Delaware, and in the
proper office or offices in each other jurisdiction in which the
Partnership is formed or qualified, such certificates (including
limited partnership and assumed name certificates) and other
documents as are required by the applicable statutes, rules or
regulations of any such jurisdiction or are required to reflect
the identity of the Partners and the amounts of the Capital
Investments with respect to the Interests.
E. The General Partner shall prepare or cause to be
prepared and shall file on or before the due date (or any
extension thereof) any Federal state or local information or tax
returns required to be filed by the Partnership. The General
Partner shall cause the Partnership to pay any taxes payable by
the Partnership unless the General Partner determines in its sole
discretion to contest the payment of such taxes.
F. The General Partner shall obtain and keep in force
during the term hereof fire and extended coverage, workmen's
compensation and public liability insurance in favor of the
Partnership with such insurers and in such amounts as the General
Partner shall deem advisable, but in amounts not less ( and with
deductible amounts not greater) than those customarily maintained
with respect to properties comparable to the Properties.
G. The General Partner shall be under a fiduciary duty to
conduct the affairs of the Partnership in the best interests of
the Partnership and of the Limited Partners, including the
safekeeping and use of all Partnership funds and assets for the
exclusive benefit of the Partnership, whether or not in its
immediate possession or control.
H. In the case of any vote, Consent or other action by the
Limited Partners pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which
shall become binding upon the General Partner, the General
Partner, in acting on behalf of the Partnership in the
Partnership's capacity as a partner in any partnership or joint
venture which may hold title to any Property, shall, to the extent
permitted by the partnership agreement relating to such
partnership or joint venture, take corresponding or identical
action or cause an Affiliate of the General Partner in its
capacity as a general partner of such partnership or joint venture
to take such action pursuant to the terms of the partnership
agreement relating to such partnership or joint venture and, in
general, shall not act on behalf of the Partnership in such
capacity in a manner inconsistent with any such vote, Consent or
other action pursuant to this Agreement.
I. The General Partner shall use its best efforts to
assure that the Partnership shall not be deemed an investment
company as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940.
J. (i) The General Partner shall elect to pursue one of the
following courses of action: (a) to cause the Interests of the
Holders to be listed and quoted on a United States national
exchange or to be reported by the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (which may be done
at any time on or prior to the date ten years from the Offering
Termination Date); (b) to purchase, or to cause JMB or its
Affiliates to purchase, on the date ten years from the offering
Termination date all of the Interests of the Holders at their ten
appraised fair market value in accordance with the procedure set
forth in subparagraph (ii) below; or (c) to commence a liquidation
phase on the date ten years from the Offering Termination date
which liquidation shall be completed within fifteen years after
the Offering Termination Date; provided, however, that if the
General Partner elects to pursue the course of action set forth in
clause (a) above, the General Partner shall have the authority to
cause the Interests of the Holders to be delisted or otherwise not
so listed and quoted if the General Partner determines that such
listing or quoting may result in adverse tax consequences to the
Partnership or any Holder.
(ii) In the event that the General Partner elects to
purchase, or to cause JMB or its Affiliates to purchase, all of
the Interests of the Holders on the date ten years from the
Offering Termination Date, an independent appraiser shall be
selected by ML Real Estate Associates II and proposed by the
General Partner for approval by the Limited Partners. Such
appraiser shall be deemed approved by the Limited Partners unless
objected to in writing by the Holders of a majority of the then
outstanding Limited Partnership Interests within 45 days after
Notification thereof is sent by the General Partner. The
appraisal shall be requested by the General Partner sufficiently
in advance to be received by the date ten years from the Offering
Termination Date. The appraisal shall value the Interests as
limited partnership interests in the Partnership with all of the
rights and obligations pertinent thereto. The cost of obtaining
the appraisal shall be borne equally by the Partnership and the
purchaser of the Interests. The General Partner shall then submit
the appraisal of the value of the Interests to an independent
nationally-recognized investment banking firm or real estate
advisory company, which shall be retained by the General Partner
specifically with respect to the determination of such value. The
purchase of the Interests shall not be consummated unless the
General Partner has obtained from such investment banking firm or
real estate advisory company a letter of opinion, addressed to the
Partnership, concluding that the appraised fair market value and
the terms of the purchase are fair to the Holders of Interests.
The General Partner shall have 120 days from receipt of a
favorable letter of opinion to purchase, or to cause JMB or its
Affiliates to purchase, the Interests from the Holders at their
appraised fair market value.
(iii) In the event the General Partner elects to commence a
liquidation phase of the Partnership on the date ten years from
the Offering Termination Date as provided in subparagraph (i)
above, JMB and its Affiliates will be permitted to purchase at
appraised fair market value any of the interests held by the
Partnership in Properties in which JMB or any of its Affiliates
(other than the Partnership) has an interest. The purchase price
for the interest of the Partnership shall be determined by
independent appraisal in the same manner as set forth in
subparagraph (ii) above; provided, however, that the General
Partner may not permit the sale of such interest of Partnership to
JMB or any Affiliate unless and until the Partnership has received
a letter of opinion from an independent nationally recognized
investment banking firm or real estate advisory company, addressed
to the Partnership, to the effect that the appraised sales price
and the other terms of the purchase are fair to the Partnership.
K. In the event Arvida uses any goods, services or
facilities of the Partnership in connection with any developments
or activities in which the Partnership does not own an interest,
then the General Partner shall require Arvida to reimburse the
Partnership for its allocable cost of such services or assets to
the extent the Partnership does not own an interest in such
development or activity.
SECTION 5.6 Compensation of General Partner
The General Partner shall not in its capacity as General
Partner receive any salary, fees, profits or distributions except
profits, distributions, fees and allocations to which it may be
entitled under Articles Four, Five, Eight and Eleven, it being
understood, however that the Partnership is obligated to pay JMB
or its Affiliates an Acquisition and Financing Guaranty Fee equal
to $20,000,000 (subject to reduction as provided below) for
services of JMB and such Affiliates in negotiating and arranging,
and guaranteeing repayment of certain indebtedness and certain
other obligations incurred in connection with, the acquisition of
the assets by the Partnership under the Acquisition Agreement.
The obligation to pay such fee in the event at least the minimum
offering amount under Section 3.3A is obtained will be required to
be satisfied as follows: on or about each Admission Date, the
Partnership shall pay to JMB or its Affiliates a portion of the
maximum amount of such Acquisition and Financing Guaranty Fee
based upon the ration that the number of Additional Limited
Partnership Interests being issued under Section 3.3A on such
Admission Date bears to 325,000; to the extent that less than an
aggregate of 325,000 Additional Limited Partnership Interests are
issued under Section 3.3A for all Admission dates, the
corresponding proportion of the Acquisition and Financing
Guaranty Fee will not be paid by the Partnership. In no event
shall the total of the Acquisition and Financing Guaranty Fee paid
to JMB or its Affiliates plus any Acquisition Fees paid to all
parties exceed the lesser of (a) the compensation customarily
charged in arm's-length transactions by others rendering similar
services as an ongoing public activity in the same geographical
location and for comparable property or (b) an amount equal to 18%
of the Capital Investments in the Partnership.
SECTION 5.7 Other Business of Partners
Any Partner may engage independently or with others in
business venturers of every nature and description, including,
without limitation, the rendering of advice or services of any
kind to other investors and the making or management of other
investments. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to
prohibit the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General
Partner or any officer, director, employee, shareholder or partner
of the General Partner or any such Affiliate from dealing, or
otherwise engaging in business with, Persons transacting business
with the Partnership or from providing service relating to the
purchase, sale, management, development or operation of real
property and receiving compensation therefor, not involving any
rebate or reciprocal arrangement which would have the effect of
circumventing any restriction set forth herein upon dealing with
Affiliates of the General Partner. Neither the Partnership nor
any Partner shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement or
the partnership relationship created hereby in or to such other
ventures or activities or to the income or proceeds derived
therefrom, and the pursuit of such ventures shall not be deemed
wrongful or improper. Except as provided in the Management and
Supervisory Agreement referred to in Section 5.2 a (ix), neither
the General Partner nor any Affiliate of any General Partner shall
be obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to
the Partnership. The General Partner and Limited Partners agree
that the Partners have no right to expect that the Partnership's
Properties will consist of anything other than the assets acquired
in connection with the Acquisition Agreement and the interest of
the Partnership in future communities as described in and subject
to the terms and limitations set forth in the Management and
Supervisory Agreement.
SECTION 5.8 Limitation on Liability of General Partner;
Indemnification
Neither the General Partner nor any affiliate (for purposes
of this Section 5.8 hereof "affiliate" shall mean any person
performing services on behalf of the Partnership who (1) directly
controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the
General Partner or the Associate Limited Partners; or (2) owns or
controls 10% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the
General Partner or the Associate Limited Partners; or (3) is an
officer, director, partner or trustee of the General Partner or
the Associate Limited Partners; or (4) if the General Partner is
an officer, director, partner or trustee, any company for which
the General Partner acts in any such capacity) thereof engaged in
the performance of services on behalf of the Partnership (the
"Indemnified Parties") shall be liable, responsible or accountable
in damages or otherwise to any Holder for any act or omission
performed or omitted by such Indemnified Party pursuant to the
authority granted to such Indemnified Party by this Agreement or
by law if the General Partner or its affiliates have determined,
in good faith, that the act or omission which caused the loss or
liability was in the best interests of the Partnership and such
liability was not the result of misconduct or negligence. The
Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified
Party from and against any loss or liability suffered or sustained
by him by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or
omissions arising out of his activities on behalf of the
Partnership or in furtherance of the interests of the Partnership,
including, but not limited to, any judgment, award, settlement,
reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs or expenses incurred in
connection with the defense of any pending or threatened action,
proceeding or claim and including any payments made by the General
Partner to any of its officers or directors who are affiliates
pursuant to an indemnification agreement no broader than this
Section 5.8; provided that the General Partner or its affiliates
have determined, in good faith, that the act or omission which
caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the
Partnership and such loss or liability was not the result of
misconduct or negligence by such Indemnified Party. The
satisfaction of any indemnification and any saving harmless shall
be from thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified
Parties and any person acting as a broker-dealer shall not be
indemnified for any loss or damage incurred by them in connection
with any claim involving allegations that Federal or state
securities laws were violated, unless: (1) there has been a
successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving
alleged securities law violations and a court approves
indemnification of litigation costs; (2) such claim has been
dismissed, with prejudice on the merits, by a court of competent
jurisdiction and a court approves indemnification of litigation
costs; or (3) such claim has been settled, and a court of
competent jurisdiction approves indemnification of litigation
costs (specifically, the settlement of any claim against the
Indemnified Parties and finds that indemnification of the
settlement and related costs should be made). Additionally, such
a court shall have been advised by the party seeking
indemnification as to the current position of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the California Commissioner of Corporations,
the Securities Division of the Office of the Secretary of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Tennessee Securities Division,
the Texas State Securities Board and the securities commissioners
of the states which subscribe to the provisions of the North
American Securities Administrators, Association, Inc. Statement of
Policy Regarding Real Estate Programs effective on January 1, 1987
regarding indemnification for violations of securities laws.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Parties shall not
be indemnified for any liability, loss, expense or damage incurred
by them in connection with any judgment entered arising from or
out of a violation of Federal or state securities laws which were
violated by any Indemnified Party in connection with the offer or
sale of the Interests. In addition, the Partnership may not incur
the cost of that portion of liability insurance which insures the
Indemnified Parties for any liability as to which the Indemnified
Parties are prohibited from being indemnified as described above.

its business or (ii) it may cause to be admitted to the
Partnership an additional General Partner or Partners to enable
the aggregate net worth of the General Partners to comply with the

ARTICLE SEVEN
TRANSFERABILITY OF PARTNERS' INTERESTS
SECTION 7.1 Restrictions on Transfers of Interests
A. No transfer or assignment with respect to any Limited
Partnership Interest or any Additional Limited Partnership
Interest, or any fraction thereof, shall be effective if such
transfer or assignment would, in the opinion of counsel for the
Partnership, result in the termination of the Partnership or the
treatment of the Partnership as an association taxable as a
corporation, for purposes of the then applicable provisions of the
Code.
B. No transfer or assignment with respect to any Limited
Partnership Interest, or any fraction thereof, shall be effective
if counsel for the Partnership shall be of the opinion that such
transfer or assignment would be in violation of any state
securities or "Blue Sky" laws (including any investment
suitability standards) applicable to the Partnership.
C. No purported transfer or assignment with respect to a
Limited Partnership Interest, or any fraction thereof, after which
the transferor or the transferee would hold an Interest
representing a Capital Investment of less than $5,000 will be
permitted or recognized or be valid for any purpose (except for
transfers by gift, inheritance or family dissolution, transfers to
Affiliates or intra-family transfers). Prior to the first date on
which an Additional Limited Partnership Interest is issued to an
Assignee Holder (other than ML Real Estate Associates II), no
purported transfer or assignment with respect to any Interest, or
any fraction thereof, shall be permitted or recognized or be valid
for any purpose.
D. No transfer or assignment with respect to any Limited
Partnership Interest or any Additional Limited Partnership
Interest, or any fraction thereof, shall be effective if as a
result of such transfer or assignment such limited partnership
Interest or Additional Limited Partnership Interest (or fraction
thereof) would be held by any person that is a non-resident alien
individual or foreign corporation or other entity or that may be
subject to tax under Section 511 of the Code, or by any "tax-
exempt entity" (within the meaning of Section 168(h)(2) of the
Code for purposes of Section 168(h)(6)(A) of the Code), except
that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to any transfer or
assignment permitted in the sole discretion of the General
Partner.
SECTION 7.2 Assignees and Substituted Limited Partners
A. If a Limited Partner dies, his executor, administrator
or trustee or, if he is adjudicated incompetent (including by
reason of insanity), his committee, guardian or conservator, or,
if he becomes bankrupt, the receiver or trustee of his estate,
shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner for the purpose of
settling or managing his estate and such power as the decedent or
incompetent or bankrupt Person possessed to assign all or any part
of his Interest and to join with the assignee thereof in
satisfying conditions precedent to such assignee becoming a
Substituted Limited Partner. The death, dissolution, adjudication
of incompetence or bankruptcy of a Limited Partner shall not
dissolve the Partnership.
B. The Partnership shall recognize as the Assignee Holder
of Additional Limited Partnership Interests each Person to whom
the Initial Limited Partner assigns Additional Limited Partnership
Interest which are purchased in the public offering pursuant to
section 3.3 (including pursuant to Section 3.3G) as of such dates
from time to time during the offering period as the General
Partner shall determine (which in no event shall be later than the
date on which the funds of such Assignee Holder are released from
the escrow deposit account) provided that (a) the Partnership has
received the capital set forth on Schedule A with respect to the
Additional Limited Partnership Interests of such Assignee Holder
and (b) the Initial Limited Partner has executed an instrument of
assignment, in form and substance satisfactory to the General
Partner, setting forth the name and address of such Assignee
Holder to whom such Additional Limited Partnership Interests are
being assigned.
C. Except as provided in Section 7.2B above, the
Partnership shall not recognize for any purpose any assignment
with respect to all or any fraction of a Limited Partnership
Interest unless there shall have been filed with the Partnership a
duly executed and acknowledged counterpart of the instrument
making such assignment and such instrument evidences the written
acceptance by the assignee of all of the terms and provisions of
this Agreement and represents that such assignment was made in
accordance with all applicable laws and regulations (including
investment suitability requirements). Such instrument shall be
accompanied by a transfer fee not in excess of $100 that shall be
paid to the Partnership or an Affiliate of the General Partner to
cover all actual, necessary and reasonable expenses, fees and
filing costs in connection with such transfer. Any assignee of a
Limited Partnership Interest shall, for the purposes of Section
4.3C, be recognized as a Holder of Interests as of the first day
of the fiscal quarter next succeeding the fiscal quarter in which
the General Partner actually receives the instrument of assignment
that complies with the requirements of this Section 7.2C;
provided, however, that except as provided in Section 7.2B above,
no assignee of a Limited Partnership Interest shall be recognized
as a Holder of Interests prior to the first fiscal quarter
following the fiscal quarter during which the final issuance of
Additional Limited Partnership Interests pursuant to Section 3.3
occurs.
D. Any Person who is an Assignee Holder of all or any
fraction of a Limited Partnership Interest may become a
Substituted Limited Partner only when such Person shall have
satisfied the conditions of Section 7.2C and Section 11.2. The
General Partner agrees to inform such Assignee Holder, within 60
days of receipt by the Partnership of the items set forth in
Sections 7.2C and 11.2A herein, if he has been rejected a s
Substituted Limited Partner. Assignee Holders (and any assignees
with respect to any Limited Partnership Interests of such Assignee
Holders) who effect such a transfer and become Substituted Limited
Partners will not be permitted subsequently to reassign their
Limited Partnership Interests to the Initial Limited Partner and
once more become Assignee Holders. The right of an assignee to
become a Substituted Limited Partner shall be subject to the
written Consent of the General Partner, which Consent may be
granted or denied in the sole and absolute discretion of the
General Partner and prior to the giving of such Consent, such
substitution shall not be effective. The written Consent or a
notice of denial of Consent shall be given to the assignee not
later than the last day of the calendar month following the month
the General Partner actually receives the executed Signature Page
and Power of Attorney and such other document or documents as may
reasonably be requested by the General Partner and payment of an
amount (not in excess of $100) required to cover all actual,
necessary and reasonable expenses, fees and filing costs in
connection with such substitution. The voting rights of a
Substituted Limited Partner who transfers his entire economic
interest in any Additional Limited Partnership Interests will
terminate with respect to such Additional Limited Partnership
Interests upon such transfer.
SECTION 7.3 Indemnification and Terms of Admission
A. Each Holder of Interests shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Partnership, the General Partner and every Holder who
was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of or arising from any actual misrepresentation or
misstatement of facts or omission to state facts made (or omitted
to be made) by such Holder in connection with any facts or
omission to state facts made (or omitted to be made) by such
Holder in connection with any assignment, transfer, other
disposition or encumbrance of all or any part of any Interest in
the Partnership, or the admission of an Assignee Holder as a
Substituted Limited Partner to the Partnership, against expenses
for which the Partnership or such other Person has not otherwise
been reimbursed (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by it
or him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding.
B. Any Person who acquires an Interest as an Assignee
Holder (whether or not such Person becomes a Substituted Limited
Partner) or who is admitted to the Partnership as a Substituted
Limited Partner or as a successor or additional General Partner
shall be subject to and bound by all the provisions of this
Agreement as if originally a party to this Agreement.
ARTICLE EIGHT
DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP
SECTION 8.1 Events Causing Dissolution
The Partnership shall terminate upon the happening of any of
the following events:
(i) the bankruptcy, death, dissolution, adjudication
of incompetence or withdrawal of a sole General Partner;
(ii) the reduction to cash or cash equivalents of all
the assets of the Partnership;
(iii) the election by the General Partner pursuant to
Section 5.5), Section 5.4B, or the vote by the Limited Partners
pursuant to Section 10.2(ii), to dissolve the Partnership; or
(iv) the happening of any other event causing the
dissolution of the Partnership under the laws of the State of
Delaware.
Dissolution of the Partnership shall be effective on the day on
which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the
Partnership shall not terminate until the Partnership's
certificate of limited partnership shall have been canceled and
the assets of the Partnership shall have been distributed as
provided in Section 8.3. Notwithstanding the dissolution of the
partnership, prior to the termination of the Partnership, as
aforesaid, the business of the Partnership and the affairs of the
Partners, as such, shall continue to be governed by this
Agreement.
In the event of the bankruptcy, dissolution or withdrawal of
a General Partner which is not then the sole General Partner at
any time during the life of the Partnership, the remaining General
Partner or General Partners shall promptly give the Limited
Partners notice of the occurrence of any event constituting such
bankruptcy, dissolution or withdrawal. The General Partner shall
give the Limited Partners sixty (60) days' notice of its intent to
withdraw voluntarily as a General Partner of the Partnership
unless, prior to such withdrawal, written notice has been given to
the Limited Partners as provided in the preceding sentence, and
the Limited Partners have (or have not) elected to exercise their
right pursuant to Section 10.2 (and subject to the conditions set
forth in Section 10.3 to elect a new General Partner.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any
event specified in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 8.1 occurs
prior to the first date on which an Additional Limited Partnership
Interest is issued to an Assignee Holder (other than ML Real
Estate Associates II), no Partner or Partners shall have any right
to cause the Partnership to be continued, and if any event
specified in clause (iv) of Section 8.1 occurs prior to such date,
no Partner or Partners shall have any right to cause the
Partnership to be continued unless all Partners (including ML Real
Estate Associates II and Arvida/JMB Partners, which shall consent
for this purpose only with the affirmative approval of ML Real
Estate Associates II as a partner therein) Consent to continue the
Partnership.
SECTION 8.2 Capital Contribution upon Dissolution
Subject to Section 5.8 each Limited Partner shall look
solely to the assets of the Partnership for all distributions with
respect to the Partnership and his capital contribution thereto
and share of Profits or Losses thereof, and, except as provided in
Section 4.1 shall have no recourse therefor however, that upon
dissolution and termination of the Partnership, the General
Partner shall contribute to the Partnership an amount equal to the
amount which is determined to be the smaller of (i) the deficit
balance in its Capital Account or (ii) the excess of 1.01% of the
Capital Investments with respect to Limited Partnership Interests
held by Holders over the aggregate capital contributions made by
the General Partner as provided in Schedule A and otherwise under
this Agreement. If Arvida/JMB Associates shall in writing assume
or otherwise agree to be personally liable on Partnership
indebtedness owed to a third party, during the period that such
assumption or other personal liability exists, Arvida/JMB
Associates shall be obligated to contribute to the Partnership an
amount equal to the amount of such indebtedness which it has
assumed or on which it has otherwise agreed to be personally
liable if needed to satisfy such Partnership indebtedness.
No Limited Partner shall have any right to demand or receive
property, other than cash, upon dissolution and termination of the
Partnership.
SECTION 8.3 Liquidation
A. Upon dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner
shall dispose of the assets of the Partnership, apply and
distribute the proceeds thereof as contemplated by this Agreement
and cause the cancellation of the Partnership's certificate of
limited partnership.
B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the General
Partner shall determine that an immediate sale of part or all of
the Partnership assets would cause undue loss to the Partners, the
General Partner, in order to avoid such loss, may (after having
given Notification to all the Limited Partners), subject to
Section 8.3C and to the extent not then prohibited by the Limited
Partnership Act of any jurisdiction in which the Partnership is
then formed or qualified and applicable in the circumstances,
defer disposition of and withhold from distribution for a
reasonable time any assets of the Partnership except those
necessary to satisfy the Partnership's debts and obligations.
C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Articles
Four and Six, upon Liquidation of the Partnership the proceeds of
such Liquidation shall be distributed in the ratios of the
positive Capital Account balances of the Partners, and upon
Liquidation of any Partner's Interest in the Partnership the
proceeds of such Liquidation shall be distributed in accordance
with the positive Capital Account balance of such Partner, in each
case as determined after taking into account all Capital Account
adjustments for the Partnership taxable year during which such
Liquidation occurs (other than those adjustments made pursuant to
this sentence), by the end of such taxable year (or, if later,
within 90 days after the date of such Liquidation), except that in
the case of a Liquidation of the Partnership the proceeds of such
Liquidation shall not be required to be distributed by the end of
such taxable year (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of
such Liquidation) to the extent such proceeds constitute (i)
reserves reasonably required to provide for liabilities
(contingent or otherwise) of the Partnership or (ii) installment
obligations owed to the Partnership, so long as such withheld
amounts are distributed as soon as practicable and in the ratios
of the Partner's positive Capital Account balances.
2. Instrument of Assignment. Effective upon the transfer
to the Partnership of the required capital contributions in
respect of Additional Limited Partnership Interests from time to
time during the Public Offering, and upon the amendment of the
Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership to reflect
the issuance of Additional Limited Partnership Interests to the
Initial Limited Partner, the Initial Limited Partner shall execute
an Instrument of Assignment transferring and assigning all of its
rights and interests in and to such Additional Limited Partnership
Interests to the Assignee Holders. The names and addresses of the
Assignee Holders who have purchased the Additional Limited
Partnership Interests shall be set forth on such Instrument and,
upon its receipt and acknowledgement by the General Partner, such
instrument of Assignment shall be binding in all respects upon the
Partnership, the General Partner, the Initial Limited Partner and
the Assignee Holders name therein; provided that any such
Instrument of Assignment may be amended by written instrument
executed by the Initial Limited Partner and the General Partner
for the purpose of correcting any error or omission contained
therein. Notification of the name and address of an Assignee
Holder set forth on any such Instrument of Assignment shall be
mailed, postage prepaid, to such Assignee Holder named therein;
and thereafter any address contained therein shall be subject to
change only upon the receipt by the Initial Limited Partner of
written notification of a change of an Assignee Holder's address
signed by such Assignee Holder.
3. Subsequent Assignments. Any subsequent transfer or
assignment or reassignment of Additional Limited Partnership
Interests by any Assignee Holder to any other Person must conform
in all respects with the requirements of Section 7.2 of the
Partnership Agreement and shall be subject to all restrictions on
transfer provided in Section 7.1 of the Partnership Agreement.
4. Voting. The Initial Limited Partner hereby agrees that,
with respect to any matter on which a vote of Limited Partners is
taken in accordance with the Partnership Agreement or as to which
any Consent is requested, it will vote the Additional Limited
Partnership Interests transferred to Assignee Holders pursuant to
this Agreement or grant or withhold such Consent solely for the
benefit of, and in accordance with the written instructions of,
the respective Assignee Holders with respect to their respective
Interests; provided, however, that the voting rights of an
Assignee Holder who transfers Additional Limited Partnership
Interests will terminate with respect to such Interests upon such
transfer, whether or not the transferee thereof is admitted as a
Substituted Limited partner with respect thereto. Additional
Limited Partnership Interests assigned to Assignee Holders who do
not provide such written instructions to the Initial Limited
Partner will not be voted nor any Consent granted on any such
matter. The Initial Limited partner will provide notice to the
Assignee Holders containing information regarding any matters to
be voted upon or as to which any Consent is requested sufficiently
in advance of the date of the vote for which such Consent is
requested to permit sufficiently in advance of the date of the
vote for which such Consent is requested to permit such Assignee
Holders to provide such written instructions and shall otherwise
establish reasonable procedures for any such voting or the
granting of such Consent. The Partnership and the General Partner
hereby agree to permit Assignee Holders to attend any meetings of
Limited Partners and the Initial Limited Partner shall, upon
written request of Assignee Holders owning Additional Limited
Partnership Interests which represent in the aggregate 10% or more
of all of the outstanding Limited Partnership Interest, request
the General Partner to call a meeting of Limited Partners or to
submit a matter to the Limited Partners without a meeting pursuant
to the Partnership Agreement.
5. Reports. The Initial Limited Partner will mail to any
Assignee Holder (at the address provided under paragraph 2 above)
any report, financial statement or other communication received
from the Partnership or the General Partner with respect to the
Additional Limited Partnership Interests transferred to such
Assignee Holder. In lieu of the mailing of any such document by
the Initial Limited Partner, the Initial Limited Partner may, at
its option, request the Partnership to mail any such
communications directly to the Assignee Holders, and the Initial
Limited Partner shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations
under this paragraph 5.
