income or net loss of the Partnership, and each item of Partnership income,
gain, loss, deduction and credit for federal income tax purposes, shall be
allocated to the Partners pro rata in accordance with their respective
Partnership Percentages; provided, however, that items of income, gain, loss,
deduction and credit associated with any property contributed to the capital of
the Partnership shall, in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, be
allocated to the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the
adjusted tax basis and the fair market value of such property at the time of
contribution.

         4.2      DISTRIBUTIONS. From time to time, the General Partner shall

shall not make, and the General Partners shall not approve, any distribution to
a Partner on account of its interest in the Partnership if such distribution
would (a) violate the Act or other applicable law or (b) constitute a default or
event of default under the Transaction Documents.

capital account for each Partner in accordance with the provisions of section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code.

into and perform the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and all
documents, agreements, certificates or financing statements contemplated thereby
or related thereto, all without any further act, vote or approval of any Partner

substantive consolidation with the Bankruptcy of other Persons, including [ ],
should such a Bankruptcy occur.

                  (b) LIMITATION ON AMENDMENTS. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, the General Partner shall not amend, alter or change
any portion of the Separateness Provisions (or any of the definitions in Article
I to the extent used in any of the Separateness Provisions) without the consent
of each of the Partners (including all Independent Directors of the General
Partner then serving in such capacity).

                  (c) LIMITATION ON MATERIAL ACTIONS. Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary (and notwithstanding any provision of law that
otherwise so empowers the Partnership, the General Partner or any other Person),
neither the General Partner nor any other Person shall be authorized or
empowered to cause or


                                        8

                                 ([      ] L.P.)


permit the Partnership to take any Material Action, and the Partnership shall
not take any Material Action, without the prior written consent of the General
Partner, and no such consent shall be effective unless it has been approved by
all Independent Directors of the General Partner then serving in such capacity.

                  (d) EXISTENCE. The General Partner shall cause the Partnership
to do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary to preserve and keep
in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and
franchises; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be required to
preserve any such right or franchise if the General Partner shall determine that
the preservation thereof is no longer desirable for the conduct of its business
and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the
Partnership.

                  (e) OTHER LIMITATIONS.

                           (1) In order to ensure the separate and distinct

                               (K) Maintain its assets and liabilities in such a
                  manner that its individual assets and liabilities can be

                                 ([      ] L.P.)

                  of any other Person (except to the extent that the Partnership
                  is treated as a "disregarded entity" for tax purposes and is
                  not required to file tax returns under applicable law) and pay

                  contemplated business purpose, transactions and liabilities;
                  and

                               (W) Cause the General Partner, agents and other
                  representatives of the Partnership to act at all times with
                  respect to the Partnership consistently and in furtherance of
                  the foregoing and in the best interests of the Partnership.

         Failure of the Partnership, or the General Partner on behalf of the
         Partnership, to comply with any of the foregoing covenants or any other
         covenants contained in this Agreement shall not affect the status of
         the Partnership as a separate legal entity or the limited liability of
         any Partner.

                           (2) The General Partner shall cause the Partnership
         to refrain from taking, and the Partnership shall not take, any of the
         following actions:

                               (A) Guaranteeing any obligation of any Person,

                  any loan or advance to, or owning or acquiring any stock or
                  securities of, any Person, except that the Partnership may (i)
                  invest in those investments permitted under the Transaction
                  Documents, (ii) make any advance required or expressly
                  permitted to be made pursuant to any provisions of the
                  Transaction Documents and (iii) permit the same to remain
                  outstanding in accordance with such provisions; or

                               (D) To the fullest extent permitted by law,
                  engaging in any dissolution, liquidation, consolidation,
                  merger, asset sale or transfer of Interests other than such
                  activities as are expressly permitted pursuant to any
                  provision of the Transaction Documents.

         5.4      CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. The Partners at any time and from time
to time may engage in and possess interests in other business ventures of any
and every type and description, independently or with others, with no obligation
to offer to the Partnership or the other Partner the right to participate in any
such ventures. The Partnership may transact business with the Partners.

         5.5      RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE LIMITED PARTNER.

                  (a) NO MANAGEMENT RIGHTS. Except as expressly provided in this
Agreement, the Limited Partner shall not participate in the management or
control of the Partnership's business, be authorized to transact any business
for the Partnership or have the power to act for or bind the Partnership.

                  (b) LIMITED LIABILITY. Except as provided by the Act or by the
terms of this Agreement or any other agreement with the Partnership, the Limited
Partner shall not have any personal liability for the expenses, liabilities or
obligations of the Partnership and shall have no personal liability or

         5.6      EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION.

                  (a) EXCULPATION. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no
Permitted Indemnitee shall be liable to the Partnership or any other Person who
has an interest in or claim against the Partnership for any loss, damage or
claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such
Permitted Indemnitee in good faith on behalf of the Partnership and in a manner
reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such
Permitted Indemnitee by or pursuant to this Agreement.

                   (b) RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION. The Partnership may indemnify
any and all Permitted Indemnitees against any and all liability and reasonable
expense that may be incurred by them in connection with or resulting from any
Proceeding, any appeal in a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that
could lead to a Proceeding, all to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law. The Partnership may pay or reimburse, in advance of the final disposition
of the Proceeding, all reasonable expenses incurred by any Permitted Indemnitee
who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a
Proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The rights of
indemnification provided for in this Section shall be in addition to all rights
to which any Permitted Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement or vote of
Partners or as a matter of law or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
indemnity payment from funds of the Partnership (as distinct from funds from
other sources, such as insurance) of any indemnity under this subsection shall
be payable from amounts allocable to any other Person pursuant to the
Transaction Documents.

                   (c) INSURANCE. The Partnership may purchase or maintain
insurance on behalf of any Permitted Indemnitee against any liability asserted
against him and incurred by him as, or arising out of his status as, a Permitted
Indemnitee, whether or not the Partnership would have the power to indemnify him
against the liability under the Act or this Agreement.

                  (d) SAVINGS CLAUSE. If this Section or any portion hereof
shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then
the Partnership shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Permitted
Indemnitee as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any Proceeding
to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section that
shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law.

                  (e) ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. IT IS EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE
INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION COULD INVOLVE INDEMNIFICATION OF A
PERSON FOR HIS, HER OR ITS ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OR UNDER THEORIES OF STRICT
LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING THIS SECTION 5.6, THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTNERSHIP
UNDER THIS SECTION 5.6 SHALL NOT APPLY TO ACTIONS THAT ARE DETERMINED BY A COURT
OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO CONSTITUTE GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR
FRAUD.

necessary, appropriate or desirable in the opinion of the General Partner. All
resolutions set forth in a standard form resolution of any commercial bank or
financial or investment institution at which one or more such accounts are

         6.4      TAX REPORTING AND ELECTIONS.

                  (a) The General Partner shall arrange for the preparation and
filing of all necessary tax returns for the Partnership. The Partners hereby
appoint the General Partner as the "tax matters partner" (as defined in Section
6231(a)(7) of the Code) for federal income tax purposes. As such, the General
Partner shall be authorized to take all action regarding the determination,
assessment and collection of federal income tax under Section 6232 of the Code.

                  (b) The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to make

                        TRANSFER OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

         7.1      GENERAL. Except as provided in Section 7.2, neither Partner
may Transfer any portion of its Interest without the express written consent of
the other Partner (which consent may be given or withheld in each Partner's
sole, absolute and unfettered discretion). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, no Partner may Transfer any portion of its Interest to any
Benefit Plan Investor. Any Transfer or purported Transfer of an Interest not
made in accordance with this Section shall be null and void.

         7.2      TRANSFERS TO AFFILIATES. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 7.1, a Partner may, without the consent of the other Partner, Transfer
all or a portion of its Interest to an Affiliate of such Partner, so long as
such Affiliate is admitted to the Partnership as a Partner pursuant to Section
7.3, and provided further that such Affiliate is not a Benefit Plan Investor.

         7.3      ADMISSION OF TRANSFEREE AS PARTNER.

                  (a) A Transferee of all or part of an Interest in compliance
with the provisions of Section 7.1 or 7.2 shall become a Partner with respect to
the Transferred Interest only if the Transferor has expressly consented thereto
in writing and the Transferee has executed an instrument (in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the General Partner) accepting, adopting and agreeing
to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Upon satisfaction of
these conditions with respect to a particular Transferee, the Partners shall
cause this Agreement (and, if necessary, the Certificate) to be duly amended to
reflect the admission of the Transferee as a Partner.

                  (b) Until admitted as a Partner pursuant to subsection (a) of
this Section, a Transferee of all or a part of an Interest shall have only the
rights afforded to an assignee of a partnership interest pursuant to the Act. A
Transferee that becomes a

                                 ([      ] L.P.)


Partner shall have, to the extent of the Interest Transferred to it, all of the
rights and powers, and shall be subject to all the restrictions and obligations,
of a Partner under this Agreement and the Act.

         8.1      DISSOLUTION EVENTS. Subject to Section 5.3 and except as
provided in this Section, the Partnership shall be dissolved and its business
wound upon the earliest to occur of the following:

                  (a) The sale or other disposition of all or substantially all
the assets of the Partnership and the distribution of the proceeds of such sale
or other disposition to the Partners;

                  (b) The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the
Partnership pursuant to the provisions of the Act;

                  (c) There are no limited partners of the Partnership, unless
the business of the Partnership is continued in accordance with the provisions
of the Act and this Agreement; or

                  (d) The occurrence of an event of withdrawal of a general
partner of the Partnership unless the business of the Partnership is continued
in accordance with the provisions of the Act and this Agreement.

         8.2      BANKRUPTCY OF PARTNERS.

                  (a) BANKRUPTCY OF GENERAL PARTNER. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bankruptcy of the General
Partner shall not cause the General Partner to cease to be a general partner of
the Partnership and upon the occurrence of such an event, the Partnership shall
continue without dissolution.

                  (b) BANKRUPTCY OF LIMITED PARTNER. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bankruptcy, death, disability
or declaration of incompetence of the Limited Partner shall not, in and of
itself, dissolve the Partnership, but the rights of the Limited Partner to share
in the profits and losses of the Partnership and to receive distributions of
Partnership funds shall, on the happening of such an event, devolve upon the
Limited Partner's "personal representative" (as defined in the Act), subject to
this Agreement, and the Partnership shall continue as a limited partnership. In
no event shall the Limited Partner's personal

representative become a substituted limited partner, except in accordance with
Sections 7.3 and 8.3(a).

         8.3      CONTINUATION OF PARTNERSHIP.

                  (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, upon the occurrence of any event that would result in there being
no limited partner in the Partnership, the Partnership shall not dissolve and
the General Partner or the personal representative of the last remaining Limited
Partner shall agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and
to the admission of the personal representative of the Limited Partner or its
nominee or designee to the Partnership as a limited partner, effective as of the
occurrence of the event that caused the last Limited Partner to cease to be a
limited partner. Such remaining Limited Partner is hereby authorized to continue
the business of the Partnership without dissolution.

                  (b) Upon the occurrence of any event of withdrawal with
respect to the General Partner, the business of the Partnership will be
continued if, within 90 calendar days, the Limited Partner elects to continue
the business of the Partnership and designates a Person to be the General
Partner of the Partnership upon terms consented to the Limited Partner
(effective as of the occurrence of the event of withdrawal with respect to the
General Partner). If the business of the Partnership is continued, the interest
of the General Partner that has withdrawn will be converted to that of a Limited
Partner unless the General Partner remains the General Partner. If the Limited
Partner fails to continue the Partnership's business as provided in this
subsection, the Partnership will be liquidated under Section 8.5, subject,
however, to Sections 5.3, 8.2(a) and 8.7.

         8.4      WAIVER. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
each Partner waives any right it might have to agree in writing to dissolve the
Partnership upon the Bankruptcy of a Partner or the occurrence of an event that
causes a Partner to cease to be a partner of the Partnership.

         8.5      LIQUIDATION. Subject to Section 8.7, upon the happening of any
of the events specified in Section 8.1 and, if applicable, the failure to
continue the business of the Partnership under Section 8.3, the General Partner
(or, in the event dissolution is caused by the withdrawal or retirement from the
Partnership of the General Partner, a liquidator selected by the Limited
Partner) shall be the liquidator of the Partnership (the "Liquidator"). The
Liquidator shall as promptly as possible wind up the affairs of the Partnership
to the extent necessary to satisfy the debts and obligations of the Partnership.
Until final distribution, the Liquidator shall continue to operate the
Partnership properties subject to the provisions of this Agreement and, in that
regard, shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or consent of
any of the Partners, all the powers conferred upon the General Partner under the
terms of this Agreement. The steps to be accomplished by the Liquidator are as
follows:

                          LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
                                 ([      ] L.P.)


                  (a) The Liquidator shall pay, satisfy or discharge from
Partnership assets all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the
Partnership (including all expenses incurred in liquidation) or otherwise make
adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the
establishment of an escrow fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and
for such term as the Liquidator may reasonably determine or the assumption by a
financially responsible and solvent Person of the Partnership's obligation to
pay and discharge such debts, liabilities and obligations); and

                  (b) The Liquidator shall distribute all remaining assets of
the Partnership to the Partners in accordance with the provisions of Section
8.6.

         8.6      LIQUIDATING DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTNERS.

                  (a) Liquidating distributions pursuant to Section 8.5(b) shall
be made to the Partners pro rata in accordance with the positive balances in
their respective capital accounts.

                  (b) Liquidating distributions may be made in cash or in the
form of property. In the event that any property is distributed to the Partners
in kind pursuant to this Section, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the
Partners' capital accounts to take account of any variation between the adjusted
tax basis and the fair market value of such property at the time of
distribution.

                  (c) Upon the liquidation of a Partner's Interest, liquidating
distributions with respect thereto shall be made on or before the later of the
end of the Partnership's taxable year (determined without regard to section
706(c)(2)(A) of the Code) in which such liquidation occurs or the 90th day after
the date of such liquidation. For purposes of this subsection, a liquidation of
a Partner's Interest shall be deemed to occur upon the earlier of (1) the date
upon which the Partnership is terminated pursuant to section 708(b)(1) of the
Code, (2) the date upon which the Partnership ceases to be a going concern or
(3) the date upon which there is a liquidation of the Partner's Interest within
the meaning of section 761(d) of the Code.

                  (d) If the Partnership makes distributions in kind of the
Partnership's property that secures indebtedness, each of the Partners receiving
the distribution of property subject to the indebtedness will be severally
liable (as among each other, but not for the benefit of others) for its
proportionate share of the indebtedness; provided, however, that (1) no Partner
will be deemed to have assumed any liability on any indebtedness secured by
property distributed to any Partner for which the Partner is not liable under
the terms of the instrument creating the indebtedness and (2) the liability of
each Partners to the other Partners for any indebtedness secured by property
distributed to such Partner will be limited to the value of its interest in the
property. Indebtedness secured by property distributed to Partners in kind need
not be discharged out of the proceeds of the liquidation of the Partnership.

                          LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
                                 ([      ] L.P.)


         8.7      CERTIFICATE OF CANCELLATION. On completion of the liquidating
distributions as provided herein, the Partnership shall be considered
terminated, and the Liquidator shall file a Certificate of Cancellation with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and shall take such other actions as
may be necessary, appropriate or desirable to terminate the Partnership. The
establishment of any reserves in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.5
shall not have the effect of extending the term of the Partnership, but any such
reserve shall be distributed in the manner provided in Section 8.6 upon
expiration of the need for the reserve.


                                   ARTICLE IX

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

         9.1      NOTICES. Any notice required to be delivered hereunder shall

business days after being deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid,
addressed to the Partner to whom the notice is intended to be given at its
address set forth below its name on the signature page of this Agreement or, in
the case of the Partnership, to the Partnership's principal offices. A Partner
may change its address for notices by giving written notice thereof to the
Partnership and each other Partner pursuant to the provisions of this Section.

         9.2      AMENDMENTS. Subject to Section 5.3(b), this Agreement may be
amended pursuant to a written agreement executed and delivered by all the
Partners.

         9.3      BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall be binding on and shall
inure to the benefit of the Partners and their successors and assigns.

         9.4      GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND SHALL
BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

         9.5      SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement or the
application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held invalid or
unenforceable to any extent, that provision shall be fully severable, the
remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other
Persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and that provision shall
be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

         9.6      ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement of the Partners with respect to the subject matter hereof.

         9.7      BENEFITS OF AGREEMENT; NO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. None of the
provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any
creditor of the Partnership or by any creditor of a Partner except for the
provisions of Sections 2.4,

                          LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
                                 ([      ] L.P.)


5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.6, 9.2 and 9.7 and Articles VII and VIII (such provisions being
referred to herein as the "Third Party Benefit Provisions"). Nothing in this
Agreement other than the Third Party Benefit Provisions shall be deemed to
create any right in any Person (other than the Partners) not a party hereto, and
this Agreement shall not be construed in any respect to be a contract in whole
or in part for the benefit of any Person not a party hereto (except for the
Third Party Benefit Provisions).

         9.8      LIMITED LIABILITY. Except as otherwise expressly provided by
the Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Partnership, whether
arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be the debts, obligations and
liabilities solely of the Partnership, and no Partner shall be obligated
personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Partnership solely
by reason of being a Partner.

         9.9      WAIVER OF RIGHT OF PARTITION AND DISSOLUTION. Except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, each Partner hereby irrevocably waives any right or power that such
Person might have to cause the Partnership or any of its assets to be
partitioned, to cause the appointment of a receiver for all or any portion of
the assets of the Partnership, to compel any sale of all or any portion of the
assets of the Partnership pursuant to any applicable law or to file a complaint
or to institute any proceeding at law or in equity to cause the dissolution,
liquidation, winding up or termination of the Partnership. The Partners shall
not have any interest in any specific assets of the Partnership, and no Partner
shall have the status of a creditor with respect to any distribution pursuant to
Section 4.2. The interests of the Partners in the Partnership are personal
property.
