In carrying out their duties and exercising their powers hereunder, the members of the Management Committee shall exercise reasonable skill and care and use their best judgment and shall act at all times in what they deem to be in the best interests of the Partnership and, in the case of any conflict between the best interests of the members of the Management Committee and the best interests of the Partnership, the members of the Management Committee shall not, any other provisions hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, act in a manner inconsistent with the best interests of the Partnership or inconsistent with this Agreement.

No Limited Partner or transferee (other than a General Partner or any agent or employee of a General Partner, in his or her capacity as such, if such person shall also be a Limited Partner) shall take part in the day–to–day management, operation or control of the business and affairs of the Partnership. The Limited Partners and transferees shall not have any right, power, or

authority to transact any business in the name of the Partnership or to act for or on behalf of or to bind the Partnership. The Limited Partners and transferees shall have no rights other than those specifically provided herein or granted by law where consistent with a valid provision hereof. In the event any laws, rules, or regulations applicable to the Partnership, or to the sale or issuance of any Interest in the Partnership, require a Limited Partner, or any group or class thereof, to have certain rights, options, privileges, or consents not granted by the terms of this Agreement, then such Limited Partners shall have and enjoy such rights, options, privileges, and consents so long as (but only so long as) the existence thereof does not result in a loss of limitation on liability enjoyed by the Limited Partners under the Act or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction governing the Partnership.

SECTION 4.14. Cessation of a General Partner’s Service on the Management Committee. In the event a General Partner dies, is removed from the Management Committee pursuant to Section 4.4, or wishes to cease serving as a member of the Management Committee, their General Partnership Interest shall be immediately converted to a Limited Partnership Interest.

In the event a General Partner ceases to serve as a member of the Management Committee for one of the reasons stated in Section 4.14, the former General Partner shall nominate in writing, either during his or her lifetime or in his or her will, a person in his or her Family to serve as a General Partner and member of the Management Committee. Such replacement General Partner must comply with the provisions of Article VIII prior to his or her admission as a General Partner.

(b) Other Items.

DISTRIBUTIONS

SECTION 6.1. Distributions of Cash Flow. All Distributions shall be made from time to time in such amounts and at such times as the Management Committee may determine in their sole unreviewable discretion to be in the best interest of the Partnership. Except as provided in Section 7.2 hereof, Distributions shall be distributed to the Partners in proportion to their respective Interests. Distributions shall require the approval of the Management Committee as provided in Section 4.5.

SECTION 6.2. Tax Withholding. The Management Committee shall be authorized to pay, on behalf of any Partner, any amounts to a federal, state, or local taxing authority as may be necessary for the Partnership to comply with tax withholding provisions of the Code, the North Carolina General Statutes, or other income tax or revenue laws of any applicable taxing authority, whether because a Partner is considered a nonresident for North Carolina income tax purposes or for any other reason. Any such amount paid by the Partnership shall be treated as a Distribution by the Partnership to such Partner, and shall be offset against any Distribution otherwise due to the Partner. In addition, if the amount of any such tax payment exceeds the amount of unpaid Distributions otherwise owing to such Partner with respect to the year for which such tax payment was made, the Management Committee shall, in their discretion, either treat such excess amount as an offset against any future Distributions to be made to such Partner, or require the Partner on whose behalf such payments were made to reimburse the Partnership for such excess amount.

ARTICLE VII

DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP; WINDING UP

SECTION 7.1. Dissolution of the Partnership. The Partnership shall be dissolved upon the occurrence of any of the following events, whichever shall first occur:

(a) Upon the written agreement of all of the General Partners;

(b) The expiration of the term of the Partnership as provided in Section 2.5 hereof;

(c) The occurrence, with respect to a General Partner, of his or her: (i) withdrawal (as defined in Section 8.1) from the Partnership; (ii) dissolution; (iii) incapacity; (iv) death; (v) filing of a petition in voluntary bankruptcy; or (vi) having commenced against him or her an involuntary bankruptcy case which has not been vacated, discharged, or bonded within sixty (60) days (items (i) through (vii) above hereinafter referred to as “Dissolution Events”) unless there remains at least one General Partner, in which case the Partnership shall be reconstituted and its business continued.

(1) Upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event with respect to the last remaining General Partner, the Limited Partners may, by unanimous consent, elect to continue the Partnership without dissolution by designating a new General Partner who shall accept and agree in writing to be bound as a General Partner under this Agreement. The election of the Limited Partners to continue the Partnership and the election of the new General Partner, shall be made within ninety (90) days after notice of such event of dissolution, and shall be effective as of the date of such event. The failure of the Limited Partners to continue the Partnership and to elect a new General Partner, within such ninety (90) day period shall result in the dissolution of the Partnership.

In the event a Dissolution Event occurs with respect to a General Partner, the interest of such General Partner shall be immediately converted to that of a transferee Limited Partner under Article VIII.

SECTION 7.2. Winding Up and Liquidation.

(a) Upon the dissolution of the Partnership, its assets shall be sold and liquidated, and its business and affairs shall be wound up as soon as practicable thereafter by the Partners. In winding up the Partnership and liquidating its assets, the Management Committee or other person designated by the Management Committee for such purpose may arrange for the collection and disbursement to the Partners of any future receipts from the Partnership Property or other sums to which the Partnership may be entitled, or may sell the Partnership’s interest in the Partnership Property to any person, including persons related to any of the Partners, on such terms and for such consideration as shall be consistent with obtaining the fair market value thereof.

(b) Upon the dissolution of the Partnership, the assets, if any, of the Partnership available for Distribution from the liquidation of any such assets, shall be applied and distributed in the following manner and order, to the extent available:

(i) To the payment of or provision for all debts, liabilities, and obligations of the Partnership to any person (other than Partners) and the expenses of liquidation; then

(ii) To the payment of all debts and liabilities (including accrued interest) to the Partners (except those on account of their Capital Accounts); then

(iii) To the Partners in accordance with the credit (i.e., positive) balances in their Capital Accounts; then

(iv) The balance, if any, to the Partners in accordance with their respective Partnership Interest.

(c) If the Management Committee determines that the immediate sale of part or all of the assets of the Partnership would result in an unnecessary loss to the Partnership or is otherwise impossible or impracticable (whether as a result of federal securities law restrictions or limitations, or otherwise), then the Partners may, to the extent not then prohibited by the Act, either defer liquidation of such assets for a reasonable time (except those assets necessary to satisfy the debts, liabilities, and obligations of the Partnership as provided in this Section 7.2; and subject, however, to the timing requirements of Section 7.3 below, and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704–1(b)(2)(ii)(b)), or distribute such assets to the Partners in kind. In the event any property other than cash is distributed, all such distributed property shall be treated as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704–1(b)(2)(iv)(e)(1) for purposes of determining Capital Accounts, and the deemed Income or Losses thereon shall be allocated in accordance with the provisions of Article V hereof.

(d) Upon dissolution, a reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Partnership and the discharge of liabilities to creditors so as to minimize the losses normally attendant to a liquidation.

SECTION 7.3. Compliance With Timing Requirements of Regulations. In the event of the liquidation of the Partnership within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704–1(b)(2)(ii)(g), then (a) distributions shall be made pursuant to this Article VII (if such liquidation follows a dissolution of the Partnership) or Article VI hereof (if it does not) to the Partners who have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704–1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2); and (b) if any General Partner’s Capital Account has a deficit balance (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such General Partner shall contribute to the capital of the Partnership the amount necessary to restore such deficit balance to zero in compliance with Treasury regulations Section 1.704–1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(3). Distributions pursuant to the foregoing sentence may be distributed to a trust established for

the benefit of the Partners for the purposes of liquidating Partnership assets, collecting amounts owed to the Partnership, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or of the General Partner arising out of or in connection with the Partnership. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Partners from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Management Committee, in the same proportions as the amount distributed to such trust by the Partnership would otherwise have been distributed to the Partners pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

WITHDRAWAL OF PARTNERS; TRANSFER
OF PARTNERS’ INTERESTS; AND ADMISSION OF NEW PARTNERS

SECTION 8.1. Restriction on Withdrawal; Transfer.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, without the consent and prior written agreement of Management Committee in accordance with Section 4.4, no Partner shall, at any time prior to the Partnership’s dissolution and liquidation in accordance with this Agreement:

(i) Voluntarily withdraw, resign, or retire from the Partnership (such event may be referred to herein as an event of “Withdrawal”), except as provided in Sections 4.14 and 4.15 with respect to cessation of service on the Management Committee; or

(1) Sell, transfer, gift, encumber, or assign their Partnership Interest. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Partner may gift some or all of their Limited Partnership Interest, either inter vivos or by testamentary disposition, to a person who is: (i) a member of his Family as defined in Section 1.13; or (ii) then a Partner in the Partnership without the consent of the other Partners.

The transferee of a Partnership Interest shall not become a substituted or additional Partner without first complying with Section 8.5.

SECTION 8.2. Effect of Withdrawal; Death of Partner. The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the Withdrawal or death of a Partner, except in accordance with Section 7.1 hereof.

Upon the death of a General Partner, his or her General Partnership Interest shall be converted to that of a Limited Partner, and such Limited Partnership Interest shall vest in his or her heirs, legatees or devisees (including any trustee) or personal representative, which

shall have the rights of a transferee of a living Partner, subject, however, to the restrictions and conditions precedent of this Article VIII.

Upon the death of a Limited Partner, his or her Interest in the Partnership shall vest in his or her heirs, legatees, devisees (including any trustee) or personal representative, who shall have the rights of a transferee of a living Partner, subject, however, to the restrictions and conditions precedent of this Article VIII.

SECTION 8.3. Continuation of Partnership Following Withdrawal. In the event that the Withdrawal of a Partner does not result in dissolution pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, the remaining Partners shall have the right to continue the Partnership business in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.4. Conditions Precedent to Transfer of Partner’s Interest. Notwithstanding the required consent of the Management Committee, no transfer may be made of all or a portion of any Partner’s Interest if such transfer (i) constitutes a violation of the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the registration provisions of any applicable state securities provisions; or if (ii) after such transfer, the Partnership will be classified other than as a partnership for federal income tax purposes; or if (iii) such transfer, when taken together with other prior transfers, results in a “termination” of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes. The Management Committee may require, as a condition precedent to any transfer of a Partnership Interest, delivery to the Partnership, at the proposed transferor’s expense, an opinion of counsel satisfactory (both as to the counsel and substance of the opinion) to the Management Committee that the transfer will not result in the occurrence of any of the foregoing conditions precedent.

SECTION 8.5. Substitute or Additional Partners; Conditions Precedent. No Transferee of a Partner’s Interest in the Partnership or additional Partners shall have the right to become a Partner in place of his or her transferor, or otherwise, unless all of the following conditions precedent are satisfied:

(a) In the event of an assignment, a duly executed and acknowledged written instrument of assignment has been filed with the Partnership and sets forth that the assignee becomes a substitute Partner in place of the assignor.

(b) The transferor and transferee or additional Partners execute and acknowledge such other instruments as the Management Committee may deem necessary or desirably to effect such transfer or admission, including, but not limited to, the written acceptance and adoption by the transferee or additional Partners of the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Except in the case of a gift of a Partnership Interest to a person in accordance with Section 8.1(b) or Section 8.5(d), the written consent of all of the members of the Management Committee to such transfer or admission of a Partner shall be obtained, the granting or denial of which shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of the Management Committee.

(d) In the case of the consent to the admission of replacement member of the Management Committee under Section 4.14 and 4.15, the affirmative vote of sixty–six and two–thirds (66 2/3%) of the remaining members of the Management Committee.

(e) The transferee shall have provided the Partnership with such notification as may be required by Section 6050K of the Code.

(f) Payment has been made to the Partnership of all costs and expenses of admitting any such transferee or additional Partner to the Partnership.

Provided, however, any or all of the preceding conditions may be waived, and such transferee shall have the right to become a Partner in place of his or her transferor upon the unanimous written consent of all of the members of the Management Committee.

SECTION 8.6. Further Transfer by Transferee. A transferee of any Interest who does not become a Partner and who desires to make a further transfer of such Interest shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article VIII to the same extent and in the same manner as any Partner desiring to make a transfer of his or her Interest.

SECTION 8.7. Acquisition of Interest Conveyed to Another Without Authority.

(a) The Partnership shall have the unilateral option, but shall not be required, to acquire the Interest of a transferee or assignee of any General Partnership Interest or fraction thereof if:

(1) Any person acquired a Partnership Interest, or becomes an assignee, as the result of a court order that the Partnership is required by law to recognize;

(2) A General Partner’s Interest in the Partnership is subjected to a lawful charging order; or

(3) A General Partner makes an unauthorized transfer or assignment of his General Partnership Interest that the Partnership is required by law (and by court order) to recognize.

(b) The Partnership will have the unilateral option, but shall not be required, to acquire the Interest of the transferee or assignee of any Limited Partnership Interest, or any fraction thereof, upon the following terms and conditions:

(1) The Partnership will have the option to acquire the interest by giving written notice to the transferee or assignee that it intends to purchase the interest within 90 days from the date it is finally determined that the Partnership is required to recognize the transfer or assignment.

(2) The valuation date for determining the purchase price of the interest will be the first day of the month following the month in which notice is delivered.

(3) Unless the Partnership and the transferee or assignee agree otherwise, the purchase price for the interest, or any fraction to be acquired by the Partnership, will be its fair market value for Federal Transfer Tax purposes as determined by an appraisal, less the cost of the appraisal.

(4) The sale’s closing will occur at 10 o’clock a.m. on the first Tuesday of the month following the month in which the appraisal is rendered.

(5) In order to reduce the burden upon the resources of the Partnership, the Partnership will have the option to pay its purchase money obligation in 15 equal annual installments with interest at the minimum interest rate required by the Internal Revenue Code. If the Partnership’s remaining term is less than 15 years, the obligation must be paid in the number of annual installments equal to the number of years remaining in the Partnership’s term. The option to pay the purchase price in annual installments must be exercised in writing delivered at closing. The first installment of principal, with interest, will be due and payable on the first day of the calendar year following closing. Subsequent annual installments, with accrued interest, will be due and payable on the first day of each succeeding calendar year until the entire obligation is paid. The Partnership may prepay all or any part of the purchase money obligation at any time without penalty.

(6) By unanimous consent, other than the Partner whose interest is to be acquired, the Management Committee may assign the Partnership’s option to purchase to one or more of the remaining Partners. When done so, any rights or obligations imposed upon the Partnership will instead become, by substitution, the rights and obligations of the Partners who are assigned the option.

(7) Neither the transferee nor assignee of any unauthorized transfer or assignment or the Partner causing the transfer or assignment may vote on Partnership matters during the prescribed option period. If the option to purchase is timely exercised, they may not vote until the sale is closed.

SECTION 8.8. Nonrecognition of an Unauthorized Transfer. The Partnership will not be required to recognize the interest of any assignee or transferee who has obtained a purported Partnership Interest as the result of a transfer or assignment that is not authorized by this Agreement. If there is a doubt as to ownership of a Partnership Interest or who is entitled to Distributions of Cash Flow under Section 6.1 or liquidating proceeds, the Management Committee may accumulate Distributions of Cash Flow under Section 6.1 or liquidation proceeds until the issue is resolved to the Management Committee’s satisfaction.

SECTION 8.9. Determination of Distributive Share when Partner’s Interest Changes. Upon the transfer of a Partner’s Interest or when a Partner’s Interest otherwise changes, Income, Losses, and tax credits for the Partnership’s taxable year during which such change occurs shall be determined by the use of any method prescribed by Code Section 706(d) that

takes into account the varying interests of the Partners in the Partnership during the taxable year. Selection of the specific allowable method shall be made by the Management Committee unless a transferor Partner and transferee themselves specify a method which method is acceptable to the Management Committee; provided, however, if the Partnership utilizes the cash method of accounting, then Certain “allocable cash basis items” as defined in Code Section 706(d)(2) shall be allocated as therein specified.

SECTION 8.10. Rights and Liabilities of and Restrictions on Transferee. No person shall be recognized as a transferee of an Interest if such Interest was transferred in violation of this Article VIII. No transferee of an Interest in the Partnership shall have the right to participate in the Partnership, inspect the books of account of the Partnership, or exercise any other right of a Partner until admitted as a Partner. Notwithstanding the failure of such transferee to be admitted as a Partner, such transferee shall be entitled to receive, with respect to the Partnership Interest validly transferred to him or her, the distributions and the allocations and distributive shares of Income, Losses, and tax credits otherwise pertaining thereto under this Agreement, and, upon demand, may receive copies of all reports thereafter delivered pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement; provided the Partnership shall have first received notice of such transfer and all required consents thereto shall have been obtained and other conditions precedent to transfer thereof, as set forth herein or otherwise required by applicable law, shall have been satisfied. The Partnership’s tax returns shall be prepared to reflect transferees as Partners for tax purposes.

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the determination of whether to utilize the cash or accrual method of accounting, whether to utilize accelerated cost recovery or another method of depreciation, and the selection among any other allowable, alternative tax accounting methods or principles shall be made by the Management Committee and shall be those methods and principles which are determined by her to be in the best interests of the Partners. The Partnership’s annual financial accounting and tax accounting period shall be the calendar year, unless another accounting period is required by the Code. The Management Committee may cause the Partnership to make any election allowable to the Partnership under the Code, including elections under Code Section 754 with respect to Partnership distributions described in Code Section 734 and with respect to transfers of Partnership Interests described in Code Section 743.

(b) “Nonrecourse Deductions” shall have the meaning set forth in section 1.704–2(b)(1) of the Regulations.

(c) “Nonrecourse Liability” shall mean a liability of the Partnership for which no Partner bears the economic risk of loss within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752–2.

(d) “Partner Nonrecourse Debt” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1.704–2(b)(4) of the Regulations.

(e) “Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain” shall mean an amount, with respect to each Partner Nonrecourse Debt, equal to the Partnership Minimum Gain that would result if such Partner Nonrecourse Debt were treated as a Nonrecourse Liability, determined in accordance with Section 1.704–2(i)(3) of the Regulations.

(f) “Partner Nonrecourse Deductions” shall have the meaning set forth in Sections 1.704–2(i)(1) and 1.704–2(i)(2) of the Regulations.

(g) “Partnership Minimum Gain” shall have the meaning set forth in Sections 1.704–2(b)(2) and 1.704–2(d) of the Regulations.

SECTION C.2. Maintenance of Capital Accounts. In the maintenance of the capital Account for each Partner, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) To each Partner’s Capital Account there shall be credited such Partner’s Capital Contributions, such Partner’s distributive share of Income, any items in the nature of income or gain that are specially allocated pursuant to Sections C.3 and C.4 hereof, and the

C–1

amount of any Partnership liabilities that are assumed by such Partner or that are secured by any Partnership Property distributed to such Partner; and

(b) To each Partner’s Capital Account there shall be debited the amount of cash and the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership Property distributed to such Partner pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, such Partner’s distributive share of Losses, 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.

(c) In the event that any Partner’s 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 that it relates to the transferred Interest.

(d) In the event that the Gross Asset Values of the Partnership assets are adjusted pursuant to Section 1.11 of the Agreement, the Capital Accounts of all Partners shall be adjusted simultaneously to reflect the aggregate adjustments as if the Partnership recognized gain or loss equal to the amount of such aggregate adjustment.

The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended, to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704–1(b), and such provisions shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations.

SECTION C.3. Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704–2(f) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Exhibit C or of Article V, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704–2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704–2(f)(6) and 1.704–2(j)(2) of the Regulations. This Section C.3(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704–2(f) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704–2(i)(4) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Exhibit C or of Article V, if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership Fiscal Year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704–2(i)(5) of the Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if

C–2

necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704–2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.704–2(i)(4) and 1.704–2(j)(2) of the Regulations. This Section C.3(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704–2(i)(4) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Section 1.704–1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), Section 1.704–1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or Section 1.704–1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) of the Regulations, items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the deficit Adjusted Capital Account of such Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section C.3(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit Adjusted Capital Account after all other allocations provided for this Section C.3 have been tentatively made as if this Section C.3(c) were not in the Agreement.

(d) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Partnership Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704–2(g)(1) and 1.7042(i)(5), each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section C.3(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Section C.3 have been made as if Section C.3(c) hereof and this Section C.3(d) were not in the Agreement.

(e) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Interests as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto, as such exhibit may be amended from time to time.

(f) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704–2(i)(1).

(g) Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.7041(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Regulations Section 1.7041(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the

C–3

result of a Distribution to a Partner in complete liquidation of his or her Interest in the Partnership, the amount of such adjustment to Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in accordance with their Interests in the Partnership in the event that Regulations Section 1.7041(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Partner to whom such Distribution was made in the event that Regulations Section 1.704–1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

SECTION C.4. Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section C.3 hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section C.4. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Exhibit C (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction in whatever manner he determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to other sections of the Partnership Agreement. In exercising his discretion under this Section, the General Partner shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made.

SECTION C.5. Code Section 704(c) Tax Allocations. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations hereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value.

In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership property is adjusted, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such assets shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as tender Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the General Partner in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement.

SECTION C.6. Compliance with Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the greatest extent possible, the allocations of all items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit under this Agreement (i) have “substantial economic effect" within the meaning of, or otherwise be in accordance with, Code Section 704(b) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and (ii) be consistent with the Partner’s interests

C–3

in the Partnership. Accordingly, to the extent adjustment to the allocations hereunder is necessary in order to be in compliance with the provisions of Code section 704(b) and the Treasury regulations thereunder, such necessary adjustments in the allocations shall be made, but only to the smallest extent necessary. Furthermore, if there has been any adjustment in the allocations to the Partners on account of the preceding sentence, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall, to the extent possible, be allocated to the Partners in the order and in a manner designed to result in each Partner’s having a Capital Account balance equal to what it would have been had the allocations pursuant to the preceding sentence not occurred, and in a manner that is likely to minimize any economic distortions that otherwise might result.
