COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

From time to time, the Partnership and its General Partners are parties to legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of the Partnership's business. The Partnership is not currently involved in any litigation for which the outcome would, in the judgment of the General Partners based on information currently available, have a materially adverse impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Partnership, nor is management aware of any such litigation threatened against us.

Commitments under Existing Lease Agreements

Certain lease agreements include provisions that, at the option of the tenant, may obligate the Partnership to expend capital to expand an existing property or provide other expenditures for the benefit of the tenant. As a result of a lease amendment executed in January 2012, the majority tenant at the US Cellular Building, United States Cellular Operating Company, has the right to request the reimbursement of tenant improvements of up to approximately $374,000, which would be required to be funded by Fund VIII-IX Associates. As a result of a lease executed in December 2012, the new tenant at the US Cellular Building, Foth & Van Dyke, LLC, has the right to request the reimbursement of tenant improvements of up to approximately $167,000, which would be required to be funded by Fund VIII-IX Associates.
