                   CHARLES E. SMITH RESIDENTIAL REALTY L.P.
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying interim financial statements include all of the accounts of
Charles E. Smith Residential Realty L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and its
subsidiary financing partnerships.  All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated. The financial information furnished is
unaudited, and in management's opinion, includes all adjustments (consisting
only of normal, recurring adjustments), that are necessary for a fair
presentation of financial position as of March 31, 1998 and the results of
operations for the interim periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. Such interim
results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.
The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and related footnotes appearing in the Operating
Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    The Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries are engaged in the ownership,
operation, management, leasing, acquisition, and development of real estate
properties, primarily residential multifamily properties.  As of March 31, 1998,
the Operating Partnership owned 46 operating multifamily properties containing
18,296 apartment units, and two retail shopping centers aggregating 436,000
square feet.  The Operating Partnership also had approximately 2,000 units under
construction at three additional sites.  The Operating Partnership also owns
substantially all of the economic interest in entities which provide multifamily
and retail property management and leasing, construction and construction
management services, engineering and technical services, and financial advisory
services (collectively the "Property Service Businesses").  The Operating
Partnership uses the equity method of accounting for its 99% non-voting interest
in the Property Service Businesses.

2.  ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

    In January 1998, the Operating Partnership completed the acquisition of two
multifamily properties in northwest Washington, D.C. totaling 287 apartment
units.  The total cost of approximately $13.8 million was comprised of 254,000
Operating Partnership units valued at approximately $8.8 million, $3.2 million
cash and approximately $1.8 million of initial capital improvements.  One of the
properties was an affiliate in which the Operating Partnership previously owned
a minority interest. Both properties were previously managed by the Operating
Partnership.

    In March 1998, the Operating Partnership sold a 227-unit multifamily
property located in southeast Washington, D.C. for $4.4 million. The Operating
Partnership recognized a gain on the sale of $3.1 million.

3.  CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

    In January 1998, Charles E. Smith Residential Realty, Inc. (the "Company"),
which is the general partner of the Operating Partnership, sold 500 shares of
Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Shares"),
$0.01 par value, for $49.0 million, which is net of offering costs of $1.0
million.  The Company contributed the proceeds to the Operating Partnership in
exchange for 500 Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units ("Series C
Preferred Units"), created by an amendment to the Agreement of Limited
Partnership - designating and establishing the rights and privileges of the 
Series C Preferred Unitholders which include certain distribution and 
liquidation preferences over the common unitholders.  The Series C Preferred 
Units have a liquidation preference of $100,000 per unit and an initial annual 
distribution rate of $7,910 per unit.  If the Series C Preferred Units or an 
equivalent security of the Company receives an investment grade rating, the 
annual distribution rate will decrease by $250 per unit.  Distributions are
cumulative and are payable quarterly.  The Operating Partnership may redeem
Series C Preferred Units after February 1, 2028, at the liquidation price plus
accrued distributions.

4.  PER UNIT DATA

    Earnings per common unit of the Operating Partnership for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 is computed based on weighted average common
units outstanding during the periods as follows (in millions):

    Options to purchase 790,750 shares of the Company's common stock at $35 per
share were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per unit because
the options' exercise price was higher than the average price of the Company's
common shares.  All convertible preferred units were also excluded from the
calculation of diluted earnings per unit since the preferred distributions paid
per unit exceeded basic earnings per unit.

5. FORWARD CONTRACTS

   At March 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership held two treasury lock contracts
totaling $70 million (of notional value) to reduce its exposure to anticipated
financing transactions. The Operating Partnership does not hold or issue
derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The
forward contracts, which are over-the-counter instruments, are non-leveraged and
involve little complexity.

   The contracts have a fair value representing an unrealized gain of
approximately $0.3 million. Realized gains or losses on forward contracts will
be deferred and reported in income when the related transactions being hedged
are recognized.  There were no realized gains or losses at March 31, 1998.

6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

   The Operating Partnership will adopt Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No.
131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" in
1998 which are not expected to have a significant impact on the Operating
Partnership's reporting or disclosure.

7. OTHER LIMITED PARTNERS' INTEREST

   Limited partnership units of the Other Limited Partners may be redeemed at
the unitholders' discretion.  At the option of the Company, such redemption may
be made for cash, at the then fair value of the Company's stock, or for shares
of common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis. As of March 31, 1998,
approximately 18.3 million shares of the Company's authorized common stock had
been reserved for possible issuance upon redemption of limited partnership
units.

   In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Other
Limited Partners' redemption rights are not included in partners' equity.
Consequently, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of
partner's equity reflect the Other Limited Partners' Interest in the Operating
Partnership, measured at redemption value.  Such interest is deducted from
partner's equity.

8. EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

   The Operating Partnership extinguished debt during the first quarter of 1998
and recognized an extraordinary loss related to the payment of yield maintenance
premiums and write-offs of unamortized loan fees.

   The $110.1 million principal balance of Mortgage Pool One was partially
repaid on February 28, 1998, in conjunction with the sale of Oxford Manor, and
fully repaid on March 31, 1998.  The total extraordinary loss of $4.1 million
consisted of a $2.9 million yield maintenance premium and a $1.2 million non-
cash write-off of unamortized loan fees.

   In February 1998, the Operating Partnership terminated its existing $100
million line of credit and entered into a new $250 million, unsecured line of
credit with PNC Bank, Nations Bank, and U.S. Bank which matures in March 2001.
Draws upon the new line are subject to certain unencumbered asset requirements
and bear interest at a selected London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) plus 75 to
110 basis points based on the leverage ratio of the Operating Partnership.  If
the Operating Partnership receives an investment grade rating, the interest rate
will decrease to 60 to 90 basis points over LIBOR based on the rating.  The
Operating Partnership repaid the balance outstanding under the $100 million line
and recognized an extraordinary loss of $0.3 million for the write-off of
unamortized loan fees.

   During the quarter, the Operating Partnership also recognized an
extraordinary loss of $0.3 million due to the write-off of unamortized loan fees
associated with refinanced mortgage loans totaling $9.2 million.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

   In April 1998, the Operating Partnership acquired a 299-unit multifamily
property in Arlington, Virginia ("Parc Vista") for approximately $39 million
cash which was funded from the line of credit. The property had been managed by
the Operating Partnership as of January 1, 1998.

   In April 1998, the Operating Partnership acquired a 1,075-unit multifamily
property in Chicago, Illinois ("McClurg Court") for approximately $70 million
cash.  The acquisition was partially funded through the final draw of $26.5
million under the Company's convertible preferred stock agreement with Security
Capital Group, Inc.  The balance of the acquisition was funded from the line of
credit.

   In April 1998, the Operating Partnership acquired 0.75 acres of undeveloped
land in northwest Washington, D.C. for approximately $3.2 million.  The
Operating Partnership plans to build a 160-unit luxury multifamily property on
this site at an estimated cost of $22.4 million.

   In April 1998, the Operating Partnership priced a $53 million, ten year
secured loan from Prudential at a fixed coupon rate of 6.88%.  The Operating
Partnership also terminated a $20 million (notional value) treasury lock
contract at a gain of $0.4 million which will be amortized over the term of the
Prudential loan. The Operating Partnership also increased its new line of credit
with PNC Bank, Nations Bank, and U.S. Bank from $250 million to $275 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1997.

  SUMMARY.  Net income of the Operating Partnership increased $4.5 million, or
51.4%, from $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $13.3
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Funds from Operations ("FFO")
of the Operating Partnership increased $7.1 million, or 51.4%, from $13.6
million to $20.7 million during the same period. The increases in both net
income and FFO are primarily attributable to the acquisition of eight properties
totaling 3,323 apartment units during 1997 and the first quarter of 1998. In
addition, income from the core portfolio increased 8.3% over the prior year
period due primarily to increased rents and revenue initiatives as well as
expense savings.

  RENTAL PROPERTIES.  Revenue from all rental properties increased $10.9
million, or 24.3%, from $44.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997
to $55.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998.  The eight
acquisition properties (defined as properties acquired subsequent to December
31, 1996) contributed approximately 84%, or $9.2 million, of the total rental
revenue increase. Six of the acquisition properties (comprising 3,036 apartment
units) were acquired during 1997 and two (comprising 287 units) were acquired in
the first quarter of 1998.  The core portfolio revenue increased $1.5 million,
or 3.9%, over the prior year period.  The retail portfolio revenue increased
$0.2 million, or 7.0%, over the prior year period.

  Average economic occupancy for the core portfolio decreased to 94.8% for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to 96.1% for the comparable prior
year quarter due to management's continued emphasis on maximizing rents.  As a
result, average monthly revenue per core apartment unit increased from $885
during the first quarter of 1997 to $920 per unit during the first quarter of
1998.

  Expenses (including depreciation) from all rental operations increased $4.5
million, or 18.5%, from $24.2 million during the first quarter of 1997 to $28.7
million during the current quarter. Approximately $4.7 million of the increase,
including depreciation expense of $1.4 million, resulted from the eight
properties in the acquisition portfolio. Expenses for the core portfolio
decreased $0.2 million, net of a $0.2 million increase in depreciation expense,
due primarily to utility savings related to a mild winter as well as timing of
certain repair and maintenance projects.

  PROPERTY SERVICE BUSINESSES.  The Operating Partnership uses the equity method
of accounting for its 99% non-voting interest in the Property Service
Businesses.

  Income from the Property Service Businesses decreased from $0.8 million in
the first quarter of 1997 to $0.7 million in the first quarter of 1998.
Interior Construction and Renovation Services reported a net loss for the
quarter primarily due to cost overruns and unrecovered owner change orders
incurred on a large outside contract.  While losses have been fully reflected in
the operating results, the Operating Partnership is currently pursuing an
arbitration claim which may result in the 

                                       14
<PAGE>
 
recovery of a portion of the owner change orders. Income before depreciation for
Multifamily and Retail Property Management Services decreased $0.1 million
during the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the prior year quarter due
primarily to a decrease in third party management fees related to acquired
properties previously managed by the Operating Partnership. Income before
depreciation for Engineering and Technical Services decreased $0.3 million,
despite a 20.7% increase in revenues during the quarter, due to a decrease in
high margin HVAC repair and replacement projects attributable to the mild winter
which reduced demand for mechanical repairs.

  OTHER.  Corporate general and administrative expenses increased 45.6% compared
to the prior year quarter due primarily to additional personnel added in mid-
1997 to expand the Operating Partnership's acquisition and development program
outside of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area to other U.S. cities with
strong urban multifamily markets. Interest expense decreased $0.5 million during
the quarter, or 4.7%, primarily due to the Operating Partnership's deleveraging
in 1997 through the issuance of equity to finance acquisition and development
activities.  As a result, the average debt outstanding during the first quarter
of 1998 was significantly lower than the prior year.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  SUMMARY.  Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $11.1
million from $15.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $27.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase is primarily a
result of higher cash flow contributed by the core and acquisition portfolios
and an increase of $2.0 million in accounts payable due primarily to property
acquisitions and accrued real estate taxes.

  Net cash flows used by investing activities increased $29.8 million during the
first quarter of 1998 due primarily to investments in projects under
construction.  There were no active construction projects during the first
quarter of 1997.

  Net cash flows provided by financing activities was $15.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998, primarily comprised of $49.0 million of net
cash inflow from the placement of perpetual preferred units (at an annual
dividend rate of 7.91%) less $13.7 million of net debt repayments, $3 million of
prepayment penalties and $17.0 million of distributions.  Net cash flows used by
financing activities of $9.2 million in the comparable prior year period
primarily consisted of $81.3 million of debt repayments and $11.1 million of
distributions partially offset by $83.0 million of cash inflow from the issuance
of common units.

  FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS. Funds from Operations is defined under the revised
definition adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
(NAREIT) as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles) excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and
sale of property, plus depreciation/amortization of assets unique to the real
estate industry.  Depreciation/amortization of assets not unique to the
industry, such as amortization of deferred financing costs and non-real estate
assets, is not added back. FFO does not represent cash flow from operating
activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting 

                                       15
<PAGE>
 
principles (which, unlike Funds from Operations, generally reflects all cash
effects of transactions and other events in the determination of net income) and
should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of the
Operating Partnership's performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity or
ability to make distributions. The Operating Partnership considers FFO a
meaningful, additional measure of operating performance because it primarily
excludes the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes
predictably over time, and because industry analysts have accepted it as a
performance measure. Comparison of the Company's presentation of FFO, using the
NAREIT definition, to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not
necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the
NAREIT definition used by such REITs.

  Funds from Operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 are
computed as follows (in thousands):

DEBT

  In February 1998, the Operating Partnership terminated its existing $100
million line of credit and entered into a new $250 million, unsecured line of
credit with PNC Bank, NationsBank, and U.S. Bank which matures in March 2001.
The Operating Partnership repaid the balance outstanding under the $100 million
line and recognized an extraordinary loss of $0.3 million related to the
extinguishment of such debt.  In April 1998, the new line was increased to $275
million.

  In March 1998, the Operating Partnership repaid $110.1 million of mortgage
debt with borrowings under the new line of credit. The Operating Partnership
recognized an extraordinary loss of $4.1 million related to the payment of $2.9
million of yield maintenance premium as well as the write-off of unamortized
loan fees of $1.2 million.

  During the first quarter, the Operating Partnership repaid mortgage loans
totaling $9.2 million and recognized an extraordinary loss of $0.3 million due
to the write-off of unamortized loan fees.

  As of March 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership had mortgage indebtedness and
other borrowings, which carried a weighted average interest rate of 7.45%, as
follows:

/(1)/ Increased to $275M in April 1998


  As of March 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership had $148 million of unused
borrowing capacity available on lines of credit and $26.5 million available
under its convertible preferred stock agreement. Amounts outstanding under lines
of credit averaged $110.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998
compared to $90.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

  As of March 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership's Debt to Total Market
Capitalization Ratio was 34.7% (based on 29.4 million common units and 2.9
million convertible preferred units outstanding at the Company's stock price of
$33.25) versus 35.0% as of December 31, 1997 and 42.9% as of March 31, 1997.
The decreases are attributable to the 1997 and 1998 equity offerings,
acquisitions funded via Operating Partnership unit exchanges, and a higher stock
price of the Company. The Operating Partnership's Interest Coverage Ratio for
the three months ended March 31, 1998  was 3.01 to 1 compared to 2.36 for the
comparable prior year period.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

  For the three months ended March 31, 1998, total capital improvements were
$3.6 million, of which $3.1 million were for the core portfolio ($210 per unit).
Approximately 71% of the capital expenditures on the core portfolio in 1998 are
considered by management to generate net operating income ("NOI") by increasing
revenue or decreasing expenses ("NOI generating"). The remaining capital
expenditures on the core portfolio indirectly influence the Company's ability to
generate NOI ("non-NOI generating").  A summary of core capital expenditures
follows:

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES.

  In January 1998, Charles E. Smith Residential Realty, Inc. (the "Company"),
which is the general partner of the Operating Partnership, sold 500 shares of
Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Shares"),
$0.01 par value, for $49.0 million, which is net of offering costs of $1.0
million.  The Company contributed the proceeds to the Operating Partnership in
exchange for 500 Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units ("Series C
Preferred Units"), created by an amendment to the Agreement of Limited
Partnership designating and establishing the rights and privileges of the 
Series C Preferred Unitholders which include certain distribution and 
liquidation preferences over the common unitholders. The Series C Preferred 
Units have a liquidation preference of $100,000 per unit and an initial annual 
distribution rate of $7,910 per unit.  If the Series C Preferred Units or an 
equivalent security of the Company receives an investment grade rating,
the annual distribution rate will decrease by $250 per unit.  Distributions are
cumulative and are payable quarterly.  The Operating Partnership may redeem
Series C Preferred Units after February 1, 2028, at the liquidation price plus
accrued distributions.

 DESIGNATION OF THE PREFERENCES AND OTHER RIGHTS, VOTING POWERS, RESTRICTIONS,
                   LIMITATIONS AS TO SERIES C PREFERRED UNITS

       The Series C Preferred Units shall have the following designations,
preferences, rights, powers and duties:

          (1) Certain Defined Terms.  The following capitalized terms used in
              ---------------------                                          
     this Exhibit H shall have the respective meanings set forth below:
          ---------                                                    

          "DISTRIBUTION DATE" means shall mean the 15th day (or if such day is
     not a Business Day, the next Business Day thereafter) of February, May,
     August and November of each year, commencing February 15, 1998.

          "DISTRIBUTION PERIOD" means the periods commencing on, and including,
     February 15, May 15, August 15, and November 15 of each year and ending on
     the date prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date (other than the
     initial Distribution Period, which shall commence on February 2, 1998 and
     end on and include February 14, 1998, and other than the Distribution
     Period during which any Series C Preferred Units shall be redeemed pursuant
     to Section 5, which shall end on and include the date of such redemption).

          "FULLY JUNIOR UNITS" shall mean the Common Units and any other class
     or series of Partnership Units now or hereafter issued and outstanding over
     which the Series C Preferred Units have a preference or priority in both
     (i) the payment of dividends and (ii) the distribution of assets on any
     liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership.

          "JUNIOR UNITS" shall mean the Common Units and any other class or
     series of Partnership Units now or hereafter issued and outstanding over
     which the Series C Preferred Units have a preference or priority in the
     payment of dividends or in the distribution of assets on any liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up of the Partnership.

          "PARITY UNITS" has the meaning ascribed thereto in Section 6(B).

          (2)  Distributions.
               ------------- 

          (A) The General Partner, in its capacity as the holder of the then
     outstanding Series C Preferred Units, shall be entitled to receive out of
     funds legally available therefor, when, as and if declared by the General
     Partner, distributions payable in cash at the rate per Series C Preferred
     Unit equal to (i) the initial distribution rate of $7,910 (the "INITIAL
     DISTRIBUTION RATE") for all periods except when the reduced distribution
     rate of $7,660 per Unit per annum (the "REDUCED DISTRIBUTION RATE"), the
     increased distribution rate of $9,910 per Unit per annum (the "INCREASED
     DISTRIBUTION RATE") or the additional

                                      G-1
<PAGE>
 
     distribution rate of $15,000 per Unit per annum (the "ADDITIONAL
     DISTRIBUTION RATE") is in effect; or (ii) the Reduced Distribution Rate
     from and including the date on which the Series C Preferred Units first
     receive a public or shadow rating of BBB- or higher by Duff and Phelps
     Credit Rating Company or its successor, or another rating agency acceptable
     to holders of a majority of the outstanding Series C Preferred Units (the
     "REDUCED DISTRIBUTION TRIGGER DATE"); or (iii) the Increased Distribution
     Rate for any Distribution Period specified in Section 2(C)(iii) or
     2(C)(iv)(A); or (iv) the Additional Distribution Rate for any Distribution
     Period specified in Section 2(C)(v).  Distributions shall begin to accrue
     and shall be fully cumulative from February 2, 1998, whether or not in any
     Distribution Period or Periods there shall be funds of the Partnership
     legally available for the payment of such distributions, and shall be
     payable quarterly, when, as and if declared by the General Partner, in
     arrears on each Distribution Date.  Accrued and unpaid distributions for
     any past Distribution Periods may be declared and paid at any time and for
     such interim periods, without reference to any regular Distribution Date,
     to the General Partner, on such date as may be fixed by the General Partner
     for payment of the corresponding dividend on the Series C Preferred Stock.
     Any distribution made on the Series C Preferred Units shall first be
     credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid distribution due with
     respect to Series C Preferred Units which remains payable.

          (B) The amount of distributions referred to in the first sentence of
     Section 2(A) payable for each full Distribution Period relating to the
     Series C Preferred Units shall be equal to the applicable distribution
     rate.  The initial Distribution Period will include a partial distribution
     for the period from February 2, 1998 until February 14, 1998.  The amount
     of distribution for such period or any other period on the Series C
     Preferred Units that represents less than a full quarter of a year shall be
     computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  For any
     Distribution Period in which a Reduced Distribution Trigger Date occurs, 
     the distribution amount for such Distribution Period shall be equal to the 
     sum of: (x) the product of (i) the Initial Distribution Rate divided by 
     four, times (ii) the number of days during the Distribution Period when
           -----                                                            
     the Reduced Distribution Rate is not in effect divided by (iii) the total
                                                    ----------                
     number of days in the Distribution Period, plus (y) the product of (i) the
                                                ----                           
     Reduced Distribution Rate divided by four times (ii) the number of days
                                               -----                        
     during the Distribution Period when the Initial Distribution Rate is not in
     effect divided by (iii) the total number of days in the Distribution.  The
            ----------                                                         
     Reduced Distribution Rate shall remain in effect for all Distribution
     Periods after the Reduced Distribution Trigger Date.  No interest, or sum
     of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any
     distribution payment or payments on the Series C Preferred Units that may
     be in arrears.

          (C) In the event a Trigger Event shall have occurred, the Distribution
     Rate for any Distribution Period thereafter but prior to the Reduced
     Distribution Trigger Date shall be determined as follows:

                                      G-2
<PAGE>
 
          (i)    The Distribution Rate for the Distribution Period in which such
                 Trigger Event occurs and the immediately following two full
                 Distribution Periods shall be the same as the Distribution Rate
                 in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of such Trigger
                 Event.

          (ii)   In the event that such Trigger Event is no longer in effect as
                 of the end of the second full Distribution Period following the
                 occurrence of such Trigger Event, the provisions of this
                 Section 2(C) shall no longer apply with respect to such Trigger
                 Event.

          (iii)  In the event that such Trigger Event continues to be in effect
                 as of the end of the second full Distribution Period following
                 the occurrence of such Trigger Event, then the Distribution
                 Rate for the immediately following two full Distribution
                 Periods shall be the Increased Distribution Rate.

          (iv)   In the event that such Trigger Event is no longer in effect as
                 of the end of the fourth full Distribution Period following the
                 occurrence of such Trigger Event, then the Distribution Rate
                 for the immediately following Distribution Period shall be (A)
                 the Increased Distribution Rate if the Trigger Event was in
                 effect as of the immediately preceding Distribution Payment
                 Date or (B) if such Trigger Event shall not have been in effect
                 as of the immediately preceding Distribution Payment Date, the
                 Initial Distribution Rate, unless another Trigger Event shall
                 have occurred, in which case the Distribution Rate shall be
                 determined under this Section 2(C) with respect to such
                 additional Trigger Event.

          (v)    In the event that such Trigger Event continues to be in effect
                 as of the end of the fourth full Distribution Period following
                 the occurrence of such Trigger Event, then the Distribution
                 Rate for the immediately following Distribution Period shall be
                 the Additional Distribution Rate. The Distribution Rate shall
                 continue to be the Additional Distribution Rate until such time
                 as such Trigger Event shall not have been in effect for two
                 consecutive Distribution Payment Dates, in which event the
                 Distribution Rate for the Distribution Period ending on the
                 second of such Distribution Payment Dates shall equal the
                 Initial Distribution Rate, as applicable, unless another
                 Trigger Event shall have occurred, in which case the
                 Distribution Rate shall be determined under this Section 2(C)
                 with respect to such additional Trigger Event.

          (vi)   The provisions of this Section 2(C) shall not apply with
                 respect to any Distribution Period ending on or after the
                 Reduced Distribution Trigger Date.

          (D)    So long as any Series C Preferred Units are outstanding, no
     distributions, except as described in the immediately following sentence,
     shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any class or series
     of Parity

                                      G-3
<PAGE>
 
     Units for any period unless full cumulative distributions have been or
     contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient
     for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Series C
     Preferred Units for all Distribution Periods terminating on or prior to the
     distribution payment date for such class or series of Parity Units.  When
     distributions are not paid full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not
     set apart, as aforesaid, all distributions declared upon Series C Preferred
     Units and all distributions declared upon any other class or series of
     Parity Units shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective
     amounts of distributions accumulated and unpaid on the Series C Preferred
     Units and accumulated and unpaid on such Parity Units.

          (E) So long as any Series C Preferred Units are outstanding, no
     distributions (other than distributions paid solely in Fully Junior Units
     or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase Fully Junior
     Units) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment or other
     distribution shall be declared or made or set apart for payment upon Junior
     Units, nor shall any Junior Units be redeemed, purchased or otherwise
     acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Class C
     Units made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the
     General Partner or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be
     paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such
     Junior Units) by the Partnership, directly or indirectly (except by
     conversion into or exchange for Fully Junior Units), unless in each case
     (i) the full cumulative distributions on all outstanding Series C Preferred
     Units and any other Parity Units of the Partnership shall have been paid or
     declared and set apart for payment for all past Distribution Periods with
     respect to the Series C Preferred Units and all past distribution periods
     with respect to such Parity Units and (ii) sufficient funds shall have been
     paid or set apart for the payment of the distribution for the current
     Distribution Period with respect to the Series C Preferred Units and the
     current distribution period with respect to such Parity Units.

          (F) No distributions on the Series C Preferred Units shall be declared
     by the General Partner or paid or set apart for payment by the Partnership
     at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the General
     Partner or the Partnership, including any agreement relating to
     indebtedness of either of them, prohibits such declaration, payment, or
     setting apart for payment or provides that such declaration, payment or
     setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof or a default
     thereunder, or if such declaration or payment shall be restricted or
     prohibited by law.

          (3)  Liquidation Preference.
               ---------------------- 

          (A) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
     Partnership, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or
     distribution of the assets of the Partnership shall be made to or set apart
     for the holders of Junior Units, the General Partner, in its capacity as
     holder of the Series C Preferred Units, shall be entitled to the sum of (i)
     $100,000 per Series 

                                      G-4
<PAGE>
 
     C Preferred Unit (the "SERIES C LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE") plus (ii) an
     amount equal to all distributions (whether or not earned or declared)
     accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution
     to the General Partner, in its capacity as such holder; but the General
     Partner, in its capacity as the holder of Series C Preferred Units shall
     not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders of Series C
     Preferred Units have been paid, the Series C Liquidation Preference in
     full, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Units upon the
     liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the General Partner. If, upon
     any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, the
     assets of the Partnership, or proceeds thereof, distributable to the
     General Partner, in its capacity as the holder of Series C Preferred Units,
     shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and
     liquidating payments on any other class or series of Parity Units, then
     such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the
     General Partner, in its capacity as the holder of such Series C Preferred
     Units, and the holders of such other Parity Units ratably in accordance
     with the respective amounts that would be payable on such Series C
     Preferred Units and such other Parity Units if all amounts payable thereon
     were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 3, (x) a consolidation
     or merger of the Partnership with one or more partnerships, limited
     liability companies, corporations, real estate investment trusts or other
     entities and (y) a sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of
     the Partnership's property or business shall not be deemed to be a
     liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the
     Partnership.

          (B) Subject to the rights of the holders of Partnership Units of any
     series or class or classes of shares of capital stock ranking on a parity
     with or prior to the Series C Preferred Units upon any liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, after payment shall have been
     made in full to the General Partner, in its capacity as the holder of the
     Series C Preferred Units, as provided in this Section 3, any other series
     or class or classes of Junior Units shall, subject to any respective terms
     and provisions applying thereto, be entitled to receive any and all assets
     remaining to be paid or distributed, and the General Partner, in its
     capacity as the holder of the Series C Preferred Units, shall not be
     entitled to share therein.

          4.  Redemption Right.
              ---------------- 

          In the event that the General Partner is required to redeem or
     repurchase any shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms
     thereof, the Partnership shall redeem an equivalent number of Series C
     Preferred Units for consideration equal to the consideration payable by the
     General Partner upon redemption of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock.

          5.  Ranking.  Any class or series of Partnership Units shall be deemed
              -------                                                           
     to rank:

                                      G-5
<PAGE>
 
          (A) prior to the Series C Preferred Units, as to the payment of
     distributions and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, if the holders of such class
     or series of Partnership Units shall be entitled to the receipt of
     distributions or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or
     winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of
     Series C Preferred Units;

          (B) on a parity with the Series C Preferred Units as to the payment of
     distributions and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, whether or not the
     distribution rates, distribution payment dates or redemption or liquidation
     prices per Partnership Unit be different from those of the Series C
