         The foregoing definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit is

intended to comply with the provisions of Regulations Section

1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

         "Cash Flow" with respect to any Partnership fiscal period shall mean

all cash receipts of the Partnership during such fiscal period (other than

contributions to Partnership's business) less (i) all Partnership cash

disbursements during such fiscal period determined by the Partner in their sole

discretion to be reasonably necessary for the conduct of the Partnership's

business, (ii) such reserves established by the Partners in their sole

discretion during such fiscal period for anticipated Partnership expenses or

Partnership debt repayments and (iii) any cash amounts reinvested in the

Partnership as determined by the Partners in their sole discretion during such

fiscal period for anticipated Partnership expenses or Partnership debt

repayments. Cash Flow also shall include any other Partnership funds, including

any amounts previously set aside as reserves by the Partners, no longer deemed

by the Partners to be necessary for the conduct of the Partnership's business.

 

         "Capital Account" means, with respect to any Partner, the Capital

Account maintained for such Partner in accordance with the following provisions:

 

                   (i)       To each Partner's Capital Account there shall be

                  credited the amount of cash and the initial Gross Asset Value

                  of any property contributed to the Partnership by such

                  Partner, such Partner's distributive share of Profits, and any

                  items in the nature of income or gain that are specially

                  allocated pursuant to Section 12.2 or Section 12.3 of this

                  Agreement, and the amount of any Partnership liabilities that

                  are assumed by such Partner or that are secured by any

                  Property distributed to such Partner.

 

                  (ii)      From each Partner's Capital Account there shall be

                  debited the amount of cash and the Gross Asset Value of any

                  Property distributed to such Partner pursuant to any provision

                  of this Agreement, such Partner's distributive share of

                  Losses, and any items in the nature of loss or deduction

                  specially allocated pursuant to Section 12.2 or Section 12.3,

                  and the amount of any liabilities of such Partner that are

                  assumed by the Partnership or that are secured by any property

                  contributed by such Partner to the Partnership.

 

         In the event any Interest is transferred in accordance with the terms

of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the

transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred Interest.

 

         The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement

relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with

Regulations Section 1.704-l(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner

consistent with

such Regulations. In the event the Partners shall determine that it is prudent

to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits

thereto (including, without limitation, debits or credits relating to

liabilities which are secured by contributions or distributed property or which

are assumed by the Partnership), are computed in order to comply with such

Regulations, the Partners may make such modification, provided that it is not

likely to have a material effect on the amounts distributable to any Partner

upon the dissolution of the Partnership. The Partners also shall (i) make any

adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the

Capital Accounts of the respective Partners and the amount of Partnership

capital reflected on the Partnership's balance sheet, as computed for book

purposes, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(q), and (ii)

make any appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events might

otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Regulations Section

1.704-l(b), provided that, to the extent that any such adjustment is

inconsistent with other provisions of this Agreement and would have a material

adverse effect on any Partner, such adjustment shall require the consent of such

Partner.

 

         "Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any

corresponding provisions of succeeding law.

 

         "Depreciation" means, for each Fiscal Year, an amount equal to the

depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction allowable for

federal income tax purposes with respect to an asset for such Fiscal Year,

except that if the Gross Asset Value of an asset differs from its adjusted basis

for federal income tax purposes at the beginning of such Fiscal Year,

Depreciation will be an amount which bears the same ratio to such beginning

Gross Asset Value as the federal income tax depreciation, amortization or other

cost recovery deduction for such Fiscal Year bears to such beginning adjusted

tax basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an asset has a zero basis for

federal income tax purposes at the beginning of such Fiscal Year, depreciation

shall be determined with reference to such beginning Gross Asset Value using any

reasonable method selected by the Partners.

 

         "Fiscal Year" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 15.

 

         "Gross Asset Value" means, with respect to any asset, the asset's

adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes, except as follows:

 

                  (i)       The initial Gross Asset Value of any asset

                  contributed by a Partner to the Partnership will be the gross

                  fair market value of such asset, as set forth on Exhibit A to

                  this Agreement;

 

                  (ii)      The Gross Asset Values of all Partnership assets

                  shall be adjusted to equal their respective gross fair market

                  values, as determined by the Partners, as of the following

                  times:

                           additional interest in the Partnership by any new or

                           existing Partner in exchange for more than a de

                           minimis capital contribution if the Partners

                           reasonably determine that such an adjustment is

                            necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative

                           economic interests of the Partners in the

                           Partnership;

 

                                    (B)       Upon the distribution by the

                            Partnership to a Partner of more than a de minimis

                           amount of any Property as consideration for an

                           Interest in the Partnership if the Partners

                           reasonably determine that such an adjustment is

                           necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative

                           economic interests of the Partners in the

                           Partnership; and

 

                                    (C)        Upon the liquidation of the

                           Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section

                           1.704-(l)(b)(2)(ii)(g), other than a liquidation
