4.1. Managing General Partner.

4.6. Computation Rules. For purposes of computing the amount of Net Income or Net Loss for any period, the determination, recognition, and classification of each item of income, gain, deduction or loss comprising such Net Income or Net Loss shall be the same as its determination, recognition, and classification for federal income tax purposes (including any method of depreciation, cost recovery, or amortization used for this purpose); provided, that unless otherwise required under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv):

(i) Solely for purposes of the application of the provisions hereof, the Partnership shall be treated as owning directly its proportionate share of all property owned by any partnership, joint venture, or similar entity in which the Partnership has an ownership interest (as determined by the Managing General Partner based upon the provisions of the governing documents of such entity).

deductions for depreciation, cost recovery, or amortization attributable to a Contributed Property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property on the date it was acquired by the Partnership were equal to the Agreed Value of such property. Upon an adjustment pursuant to Section 4.8 or 4.9 to the Carrying Value of any Partnership property subject to depreciation, cost recovery, or amortization, any further deductions for such depreciation, cost recovery, or amortization attributable to such property shall be determined (A) as if the adjusted basis of such property were equal to the Carrying Value of such property immediately following such adjustment and (B) using a rate of depreciation, cost recovery, or amortization derived under the same method and useful life as is applied for federal income tax purposes; provided, however, that if the asset has a zero adjusted basis, depreciation, cost recovery, or amortization, then deductions shall be determined using any reasonable method that the Managing General Partner may adopt.

(iii) Any income, gain, or loss attributable to the taxable disposition of any property shall be determined by the Partnership as if the adjusted basis of such property as of the date of such disposition were equal in amount to the Partnership’s Carrying Value with respect to such property as of such date.

(iv) If the Partnership’s adjusted basis in a depreciable or cost recovery property is reduced for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 50(c)(1) of the Code (or any analogous provisions), the amount of such reduction shall, solely for purposes hereof, be deemed to be an additional depreciation or cost recovery deduction in the year that such property is placed in service and shall be allocated among the Partners pursuant to Article V. Any restoration of such basis pursuant to Section 50(c)(2) (or any analogous provision) of the Code shall be allocated in the same manner to the Partnership Interests to which such deemed deduction was allocated.

(v) All fees and other expenses incurred by the Partnership to promote the sale of (or to sell) an interest in the Partnership that can neither be deducted nor amortized under Section 709 of the Code shall be treated as an item of deduction and shall be allocated among the Partners pursuant to Article V.

(vi) Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the computation of all items of income, gain, loss, and deduction shall be made without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Partnership and, as to those items described in Section 705(a)(1)(B) or 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code (or treated as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i)), without regard to the fact that such items are not includable in gross income or are neither currently deductible nor capitalizable for federal income tax purposes.

4.7. Effect of Transfer of Partnership Interest. Generally, a transferee of a Partnership Interest shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor relating to the Partnership Interest transferred. However, if the transfer causes a termination of the Partnership under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code, the Partnership properties shall be deemed to have been distributed in liquidation of the Partnership to the Partners (including the transferee of the Partnership Interest) and deemed recontributed by such Partners and transferees in reconstitution of the Partnership. In such event, the Carrying Values of the Partnership properties shall be adjusted immediately prior to such deemed distribution pursuant to Section 4.6, and such adjusted Carrying Values shall constitute

the Agreed Values of such properties upon such deemed contribution to the reconstituted Partnership. The Capital Accounts of such reconstituted Partnership shall be maintained in accordance with the principles of this Agreement.

4.8. Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests. Consistent with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), upon the contribution to the Partnership of cash or properties in exchange for additional interests in the Partnership, the Managing General Partner shall make appropriate adjustments to the Capital Accounts (and other Carrying Values of the Partnership’s properties).

4.9. Redemptions. In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), immediately prior to actual or deemed distribution of any Partnership property (other than cash or cash equivalents), the Capital Accounts of all Partners and the Carrying Values of Partnership properties shall be adjusted (consistent with the provisions hereof) upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to each Partnership property (as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized upon an actual sale of each property, immediately prior to such distribution, and had been allocated to the Partners at such time pursuant to Article V). In determining the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss, the aggregate fair market value of Partnership properties as of any date of determination shall, in the case of a current distribution pursuant to Article V (or deemed distribution occurring as a result of a termination of the Partnership pursuant to Section 708 of the Code), be determined in the same manner provided in Section 4.7 or in the case of a liquidating distribution pursuant to Article IV, be determined by the Managing General Partner using such reasonable methods of valuation as it may adopt.

4.10. Interest. No interest shall be paid by the Partnership on Capital Contributions or on balances in Partners’ Capital Accounts.

4.11. No Withdrawal. No Partner shall be entitled to withdraw any part of his, her or its Capital Contribution or its Capital Account or to receive any distribution from the Partnership except as provided in Article VI and Article XIV.

4.12. Loans From Partners. Loans by a Partner to the Partnership shall not be considered Capital Contributions. If any Partner shall advance funds to the Partnership in excess of the amounts required hereunder to be contributed by it to the capital of the Partnership, the making of such advance shall not result in any increase in the amount of the Capital Account of such Partner. The amounts of any such advances shall be a debt of the Partnership to such Partner and shall be payable or collectible only out of the Partnership assets in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such advances are made.

5.1. Determination of Profits and Losses. The profits and losses of the Partnership shall be determined for each Fiscal Year in accordance with the accrual method of accounting within ninety (90) days after the end of such Fiscal year. The terms “Net Income” and “Net Losses” as used herein include each item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit, as the case may be.

5.2. General Rule for Capital Account Allocations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, for purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts of the Partners and determining the rights of the Partners among themselves, the Net Income and the Net Loss of the Partnership shall be allocated with respect to each Fiscal Year to the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

5.3. Exceptions to the General Rule. (a) If any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704¬1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of the Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate a deficit (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)) in his, her or its Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible; provided that, to the extent possible without violating the provisions or purposes of Code Section 704 or the Treasury Regulations thereunder, the Partnership’s subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and credits will be allocated so as to achieve as nearly as possible the results that would have been achieved if this Section 5.3(a) was not in this Agreement. This Section 5.3(a) is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(d)(3).

(b) If, and to the extent that, any Partner is deemed to recognize income as a result of any transaction between such Partner and the Partnership pursuant to Sections 1272-1274, Section 7872, Section 483 or Section 482 of the Code, or any similar provision now or hereafter in effect, any corresponding resulting loss or deduction of the Partnership shall be allocated to the Partner who was charged with such income if and to the extent necessary to avoid consequences that were not anticipated by the partners at the time of the transaction.

(c) Items of loss or deduction attributable to partner nonrecourse debt (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If there is a net decrease in partnership minimum gain (determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(d)) or partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(3)) during any calendar year, each Partner shall be allocated items of income and gain for such calendar year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in the amounts and of such character as determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and (i)(4), respectively. This Section 5.3(c) is intended to be a minimum gain chargeback provision that complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and (i), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(d) Allocations made pursuant to Section 5.3(c) shall be made before any other allocation of Partnership items is made pursuant to this Section 5.3.

(e) To the extent possible without violating the provisions or purposes of Code Section 704 or the Treasury Regulations thereunder, the Partnership’s subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and credits will be allocated so as to achieve as nearly as possible the results that would have been achieved if Section 5.3(c) was not in this Agreement.

(f) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-

1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the 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 the basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the manner in which the Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to the Treasury Regulations.

5.4. Allocations for Tax Purposes. (a) For federal income tax purposes, except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.4, each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative “book” item of income gain, loss, deduction or credit has been allocated pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 5.3.

(b) In the case of a Contributed Property or Adjusted Property, items of income, gain, loss, depreciation and cost recovery deductions attributable thereto shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Partners as follows:

(i) In the case of a Contributed Property, such items shall be allocated among the Partners in a manner that takes into account the variation between the Agreed Value of such property and its adjusted basis at the time of contribution in attempting to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities.

(ii) In the case of an Adjusted Property, such items shall (A) first be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such property and the allocations thereof pursuant to Section 5.4 in attempting to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities and (B) second, in the event such property was originally a Contributed Property, allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with the first sentence of Section 5.4.

(c) Any gain allocated to the Partners pursuant to this Section 5.4 which arises upon the sale or other taxable disposition of any Partnership property for any taxable period shall be characterized as Recapture Income in the same proportions and to the same extent as such Partners and (or their predecessors in interest) have been allocated any deductions directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gain as Recapture Income. The balance of such gain, if any, shall be characterized as Recapture Income to such Partners whose share of such gain exceeds their share of Recapture Income in the proportion which such excess gain of such Partners bears to the aggregate excess gain.

(d) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit and basis allocation recognized by the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and allocated to the Partners in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be determined without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Partnership; provided, however, such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted as necessary or appropriate to take into account those adjustments permitted by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code and, where appropriate, to provide only Partners recognizing gain on Partnership distributions covered by Section 734 of the Code with the federal income tax benefits attributable to the increased basis in Partnership property resulting from any election under Section 754 of the Code.

(e) It is intended that the allocations prescribed in Sections 5.4(b)(i) and (b)(ii) constitute

allocations for federal income tax purposes that are consistent with Section 704 of the Code and comply with any limitations or restrictions therein.

(f) Each item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit attributable to a transferred Partnership Interest shall, for federal income tax purposes, be determined on an annual pro rated basis (or other basis, as required or permitted by Section 706 of the Code) and shall be allocated to the Partners who own Partnership Interests based on the number of days each such Partner is recognized by the Partnership as owning such Partnership Interest; provided, however, that gain or loss on a sale or other disposition of all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Partnership shall be allocated to the record holder of the Partnership Interest on the date of sale. The Managing General Partner may revise, alter or otherwise modify such methods of determination and allocation as it determines appropriate, to the extent permitted by Section 706 of the Code and regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder.

(g) Solely for purposes of the interpretations and application of this Article V, the Partnership shall be treated as owning its proportionate share of all properties owned by a partnership which is an Affiliate.

5.5. Allocation in the Event of Transfers. Each item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit which is allocable to a Partner’s Partnership Interest that is transferred in whole or in part during any year shall, if permitted by law, be allocated according to the varying Percentage Interests of the Partners during the year. In applying this rule, the Partners shall prorate such Partnership items over the Partnership year by assigning the appropriate portion of each such item to each day in the period to which it is attributable.

5.6. Allocation of Profits and Losses on Distribution of Assets in Kind. In the event that all or a portion of the assets of the Partnership are distributed to the Partners in kind, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be—

(a) Increased by the gain which would have been recognized by the Partnership if the assets to be distributed in kind were sold by the Partnership at a price equal to the fair market value of such assets, and any such profits were allocated between the Partners in accordance with the provisions of this Article V; or

(b) Decreased by the loss which would have been recognized by the Partnership if the assets to be distributed in kind were sold by the Partnership at a price equal to the fair market value of such assets, and any such losses were allocated between the Partners in accordance with the provisions of this Article V.

The term “fair market value” shall be an amount agreed upon unanimously by the Partners within thirty (30) days of a determination to distribute assets in kind pursuant hereof and, if not so agreed, by appraisal performed by an appraiser selected in the reasonable good faith discretion of the Managing General Partner, provided that such appraiser shall be an M.A.I. appraiser with at least five (5) years prior experience in valuing similar assets.

5.7. Elections. In the event of a transfer of a Partnership Interest, including a transfer at death, the Partnership, upon the good faith approval of the Managing General Partner (who shall specifically take into account the request of the Partner acquiring such Partnership Interest), may

elect, pursuant to Section 754 of the Code, to adjust the basis of the Partnership’s assets. Except insofar as an election pursuant to Section 754 has been made with respect to the interest of any Partner, the determination for federal income tax purposes of any Net Income or Net Loss shall be made as provided for in this Agreement. Each Partner agrees to furnish the Partnership with all information necessary to give effect to such election.

5.8. Deficit in Capital Account Balances. Upon dissolution and termination of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, and allocations for all taxable years, including the year in which such liquidation occurs, shall contribute to the capital of the Partnership an amount equal to the negative balance, if any, in its Capital Account in compliance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(3). Any amount contributed by the Managing General Partner under this Section 5.8 shall be distributed according to the priorities set forth in Section 14.3.

5.9. Recharacterization of Fees and Guaranteed Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any fees, interest, or other amounts paid or payable to any Partner or any of its Affiliates (or any fees paid or payable to a third party) are deducted by the Partnership in reliance on Section 707(a) of the Code (or would be so deducted if such payee were treated as a Partner) and such fees, interest, or other amounts are disallowed as deductions to the Partnership and are recharacterized as Partnership distributions, then there shall be allocated to such Partner prior to the allocations otherwise pursuant to this Article V an amount of Partnership gross revenues for the year in which such fees, interest, or other amounts are treated as Partnership distributions in an amount equal to such fees, interests, or other amounts treated as distributions.

5.10. Imputation of Profit or Loss. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if and to the extent that, as a result of the Partnership engaging in any transaction with any Partner, any Partner is deemed to recognize income as a result of such transaction pursuant to Sections 1272-1274, Section 7372, Section 483, or Section 482 of the Code, or any similar provision now or hereinafter in effect, or the Partnership is deemed to receive income under any of these provisions, then any corresponding resulting loss, deduction, or income of the Partnership shall be allocated to the Partner who engaged in such transaction with the Partnership.

5.11. Minimum Gain. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a Limited Partner’s Capital Account has a deficit balance resulting in whole or in part from allocations of loss or deduction attributable to nonrecourse debt which is secured by Partnership property, which deficit balance exceeds such Partner’s share of minimum gain (as defined below), then gross income and gain shall first be allocated to such Partner in an amount equal to such excess.

(b) For purposes of this Section 5.11, “minimum gain” means the excess of the outstanding principal balance of nonrecourse debt which is secured by Partnership property over the Partnership’s adjusted tax basis of such property.

(c) The Partners hereby acknowledge that this Section 5.11 is intended to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv) and is to be interpreted, if possible, to comply with requirements of such regulation. The Managing General Partner shall have complete discretion to amend this provision if, in the Opinion of Counsel, such amendment is advisable to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv).

5.12. Qualified Income Offset. (a) Except as provided in Section 5.10, if the Limited Partner unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation, or distribution due to items set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6) that results in such Partner having an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, such Partner shall, as quickly as possible and to the extent required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), be allocated items of gross income in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.

(b) The Partners hereby acknowledge that this Section 5.12 is intended to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), relating to a “qualified income offset”, and is to be interpreted, if possible, to comply with the requirements of such regulation. The Managing General Partner shall have complete discretion to amend this provision if such an amendment would not have a material adverse effect on the Limited Partners and if, in the Opinion of Counsel, such amendment is advisable to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

5.13. Limitation on Allocation of Losses. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.2, Losses allocated pursuant to Section 5.2 shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Losses that can be so allocated without causing a Limited Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year. All Losses in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 5.13 shall be allocated to the Managing General Partner.

5.14. Curative Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.2, allocations pursuant to Sections 5.10, 5.11, and 5.12 shall be taken into account in allocating other profits or Losses between the Partners so that to the extent possible the net amount of such allocations of other Profits or Losses and the allocations pursuant to Sections 5.10, 5.11 and 5.12 to each Partner shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Partner if the allocations pursuant to Sections 5.10, 5.11 and 5.12 had not occurred.

6.1. Distributions of Net Cash Flow Not Within the Context of a Dissolution and Termination of the Partnership. (a) Net Cash Flow not distributed in connection with a dissolution and termination of the Partnership shall be distributed as provided in this Section 6.1.

(b) As used in this Article VI, the term “Designated Amount” shall mean, for the Class A Limited Partners as a group: (1) the total of all interest due from time to time under all of the Class A Limited Partners’ Equity Loans plus (2) the total of the annual federal and state tax obligations imposed on the Class A Limited Partners (and, for purposes of this calculation, it shall be assumed that the taxable income of the Partnership which is allocated to each Class A Limited Partner is subject to tax at the maximum marginal federal tax rate). For purposes of this definition it shall be assumed that each Class A Limited Partner received an Equity Loan equal to 50% of his or her Capital Contribution.

(c) For the period beginning January 1, 1994 and ending December 31, 1998, and for each Fiscal Year thereafter until the first Fiscal Year at the beginning of which no Class A Limited Partner

interests are outstanding, the Managing General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute: (i) to each of the Class A Limited Partners cash in an amount equal to such Class A Limited Partner’s proportional share of the Designated Amount and (ii) to the Class B Limited Partner an amount determined in the discretion of the Managing General Partner. Distributions of Net Cash Flow made pursuant to this Section 6.1 (c) shall be made at such times during the first period described above and each such Fiscal Year thereafter or within a reasonable time thereafter as determined by the Managing General Partner, except that such distributions shall be made not less often than necessary to enable the Class A Limited Partners to meet their interest and tax payment obligations made and incurred in connection with their Equity Loans and their position as Class A Limited Partners.

(d) Commencing with the first Fiscal Year at the beginning of which no Class A Limited Partner interests are outstanding, the amount and timing of Net Cash Flow distributions shall be determined by the Managing General Partner in its discretion. All Distributions of Net Cash Flow which are made pursuant to this Section 6.1 (d) shall be distributed to the Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

6.2. Distributions of Net Cash Flow in the Context of a Dissolution and Termination of the Partnership. Distributions of Net Cash Flow upon the dissolution and termination of the Partnership shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.3.

To the extent that the Managing General Partner in its sole discretion determines such action to be reasonable and necessary or appropriate and not in contravention of this Agreement, the Managing General Partner shall file amendments to the Certificate of Limited Partnership and do all things to maintain the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) under the laws of the State of Delaware or any other state in which the Partnership may elect to do business. Subject to applicable law, the Managing General Partner may omit from the Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware and from any other certificates or documents filed in any other states in order to qualify the Partnership to do business therein, and from all amendments thereto, the name and address of any Limited Partner and information relating to the Capital Contributions and share of profits of any Limited Partner.

This indemnification shall continue as to any Person who has ceased to serve in any or all of the foregoing capacities and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any deceased Person. The right to this indemnification shall be deemed a contract right and shall include the right to be advanced currently the expenses incurred in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding.

(b) If a claim under paragraph (a) of this Section is not paid in full by the Partnership within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the Partnership, except in the case of a claim for the advancement of expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding in which case the applicable period shall be 20 days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Partnership to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit or in a suit brought by the Partnership to recover the advancement of expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such a claim.

No unilateral determination by the Partnership that the indemnitee has not met the standard of conduct set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 7.8(a) shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met that standard of conduct or, in the case of an action brought by the indemnitee under this Section 7.8(b), be a defense to the action.

(c) The right to indemnification and the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, agreement, act of the Limited Partners or otherwise.

(f) For purposes of this Section 7.8, the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an indemnitee to serve as a fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by the indemnitee of his or its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, the indemnitee to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; and action taken or omitted by the indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of his or its duties for a purpose actually believed by him or it to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Partnership.

(g) In no event may an indemnitee subject a Limited Partner to personal liability by reason of these indemnification provisions.

(h) An indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.8 because the indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

7.9. Limitation on Liability . (a) No General Partner and no stockholder, director, officer or employee of a General Partner and no general partner of a General Partner shall be liable to the Partnership or to a Limited Partner unless the Partnership or such Limited Partner satisfies its burden of proof to show by clear and convincing evidence that the Person sought to be held liable (i) breached a duty of loyalty to the Partnership or (ii) acted in bad faith or engaged in intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or (iii) derived an improper personal benefit.

In the absence of bad faith by the Managing General Partner, the resolution, action, or terms so made, taken, or provided by the Managing General Partner shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or therein.

(b) Whenever in this Agreement any General Partner is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion”, with “complete discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, such General Partner shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest or factors affecting the Partnership or any of the other Partners, or (ii) in its “good faith” or under another express standard, such General Partner shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement, or any other agreement contemplated herein or therein. Any standard of care or duty imposed in this Agreement or under the Delaware Act or any other applicable law, rule or regulation shall be modified, waived or limited in each case as required to permit each General Partner to act under this Agreement and to make any decision pursuant to the authority presented in this Section 7.10(b).

Each General Partner hereby declares and warrants that any Partnership assets for which legal title is held in the name of such General Partner shall be held in trust by such General Partner for the use and benefit of the Partnership in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

The CFO thereupon shall notify the Class A Limited Partners of the amount of Net Income for such Fiscal Year, and the CFO shall provide the Class A Limited Partners with

all of the information reasonably needed to enable them to understand how the determination of Net Income was made.

13.6. Resolution of Disputes. (a) If there is any disagreement between the Managing General Partner and a majority in interest of the Class A Limited Partners with respect to the determination of Net Income, then the CFO and such persons immediately shall meet for the purpose of resolving such disagreement. If such disagreement is not resolved within fifteen (15) days of any such meeting, then such majority in interest of the Class A Limited Partners may engage the services of a nationally recognized independent certified public accounting firm as may be selected by the Managing General Partner (the “First Accounting Firm”) to confirm or adjust the aforesaid calculation of Net Income by the CFO. If such majority in interest of the Class A Limited Partners disagree with the conclusions of the First Accounting Firm regarding the amount of Net Income, then such majority of interest of the Class A Limited Partners may engage a second, nationally recognized independent certified public accounting firm as may be selected by the CFO and the Class A Limited Partners (the “Second Accounting Firm”) to determine Net Income. The determination of Net Income as made by the Second Accounting Firm shall be final and binding upon all persons concerned (including any Class A Limited Partners who originally were not in disagreement with the CFO’s determination of Net Income).

(b) All expenses of any First Accounting Firm and any Second Accounting Firm incurred in connection with the foregoing adjustment procedure shall be the sole obligation of the Class A Limited Partners who engaged the accounting firms. All expenses of the CFO shall be the sole obligation of the Partnership. However, in the event that the ultimate resolution of the Net Income calculation contains an upward adjustment in excess of two percent (2%) of the computation delivered by the CFO, then all expenses of the accounting firms shall become the sole obligation of the Partnership, with no effect on the Net Income calculation by virtue of such expense.

13.7. Determination of the Option Price. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Option Price for the Partnership Interest held by a Class A Limited Partner which is transferred pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall initially be determined by using the following formula:

The “Multiple” used in the above formula shall be determined in accordance with the following schedule:

For purposes of the above schedule, the “Compound Rate of Growth” shall be determined before the deduction for intercompany interest and shall use as the base year the Fiscal Year which immediately precedes the first year of the relevant Calculation Period. The overall rate of growth for the Calculation Period shall be a compounded rate and not simply a comparison of the last year in the Calculation Period to the base year.

To illustrate the application of this schedule, if the Partnership’s compound growth rate during the period January 1, 1994 to December 31, 1998 is 12.7426%, the Multiple for the Calculation Period which consists of such five-year period shall be 12.74.

(b) The results obtained pursuant to Section 13.7(a) shall be confirmed by an independent appraisal. A nationally recognized independent appraisal firm selected by the Managing General Partner shall conduct the independent appraisal. The Partnership will bear the expense of any independent appraisal, with no effect on the Net Income calculation by virtue of such expense.

13.8. Procedure for Exercise of an Option; Payment of the Option Price. (a) Each Class A Limited Partner may exercise the Option granted to him or her under Section 13.2 by giving the Managing General Partner, Attn: Chief Executive Officer, a written notice to that effect. The notice shall identify the Class A Limited Partner to whom such exercise relates and shall set a date for the closing of the transaction contemplated by such Option, which date shall be thirty (30) days from the date of such notice (unless such thirtieth day is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, in which case the closing shall be on the first business day thereafter). Such notice must be given before the expiration of the applicable Exercise Period (or the expiration of the Early Exercise Period, if the Class A Limited Partner is proceeding under Section 13.2(b)).

Such notice must be given before the expiration of the Exercise Period.

(c) At the closing held with respect to each notice given by a Class A Limited Partner pursuant to Section 13.2(a) or by the Partnership to a Class A Limited Partner under Section 13.3, such Class A Limited Partner shall deliver to the Partnership an assignment of his or her Partnership Interest, and the Partnership shall deliver —

(1) to the holder of the Equity Loan, the lesser of: (i) the amount of the Loan Balance due on the Equity Loan or (ii) the entire Option Price for the Partnership Interest being purchased; and

(2) to such Class A Limited Partner, the amount (if any) by which the Option Price for such Partnership Interest exceeds the amount specified in clause (1).

If the payment made to the holder of the Equity Loan pursuant to the preceding clause (i) or clause (ii) of Section 13.8(c)(1) is not sufficient to pay the Equity Loan in full, then simultaneously with such payment, such Class A Limited Partner shall make a payment to the holder of the Equity Loan in an amount which, when combined with the payment made under clause (i) or clause (ii) of

Such value shall be determined by reference to the average of the closing prices on the shares of ServiceMaster Limited Partnership on the New York Stock Exchange for the five trading days immediately preceding the closing date. Concurrently with the foregoing exchange, the Class A Limited Partner shall pay in full his or her Equity Loan (which may be accomplished either by (i) the delivery to The ServiceMaster Company of shares of ServiceMaster Limited Partnership in a number sufficient to retire the Equity Loan or (ii) by payment in cash).

If the Partnership or any other Affiliate of ServiceMaster (a “ServiceMaster Affiliate”) has the opportunity to acquire a business at any time after December 31, 1993 a (“Future Acquisition”), and if such Future Acquisition is in any way related to or engaged in any similar or competitive business to that of the Partnership as being conducted at that time, then the Class A Limited Partners, by a majority vote according to Percentage Interests, shall determine whether such Future Acquisition shall be of any effect on the calculation of Net Income (regardless of whether it is to be acquired by the Partnership or acquired by any ServiceMaster Affiliate or through a separate entity formed by any ServiceMaster Affiliate). If such majority of the Class A Limited Partners favors including the Future Acquisition in the Earnings calculation, and if the Managing General Partner concurs in such conclusion, and if the Future Acquisition is in fact made, then the earnings, debt service and all other items affecting income and cash flow shall be included in the computation of Net Income. If, on the other hand, such majority of the Class A Limited Partners disfavors including the Future Acquisition in the computation of Net Income, then the making of the Future Acquisition shall not in any way affect the computation of Net Income. This Section 13.13 shall apply to one or more Future Acquisitions.

13.14. Right to Purchase. Nothing in this Agreement restricting the Partnership’s ability to purchase assets shall be deemed to interfere with the ability of the Partnership to purchase Partnership Interests pursuant to this Article XIII. The ServiceMaster Company hereby guarantees payments of all amounts which the Partnership may become obligated to pay under this Article XIII.

13.15. Amendment to Article XIII. This Article XIII shall not be amended except by the consent of the Managing General Partner, and the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Percentage Interests of the Class A Limited Partners.

13.16. No Right to Employment. Nothing in this Article XIII or elsewhere in this Agreement shall provide any Class A Limited Partner any right to employment or limit or impair any right which the Partnership or any ServiceMaster Affiliate would otherwise have to terminate the employment of any Class A Limited Partner.

14.1. Dissolution. (a) The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of additional or successor partners in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(2) the withdrawal or removal of the Managing General Partner or any other event that results in its ceasing to be the Managing General Partner (other than by reason of a transfer pursuant to this Agreement);

(3) an election to dissolve the Partnership given to the Managing General Partner by the unanimous consent of all the Partners; or

provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be dissolved upon an event described in Section 14.1(b)(2) if, within ninety (90) days after such event, all Partners agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment of a successor Managing General Partner.

(c) For purposes of this Section 14.1, bankruptcy of the Managing General Partner shall be deemed to have occurred when (i) the Managing General Partner commences a voluntary proceeding or files an answer in any involuntary proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization, or other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law now or hereafter in effect; (ii) it is adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent or has entered against it a final and nonappealable order for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law now or hereafter in effect; (iii) it executes and delivers a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (iv) it files an answer or other pleading admitting or failing to contest the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any proceeding of the nature described in clause (i) above; (v) it seeks, consents to, or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, receiver, or liquidator for it or for all or for any substantial part of its properties; or (vi) (A) any proceeding of the nature described in clause (i) above has not been dismissed within one hundred twenty (120) days after the commencement thereof or (B) the appointment is without consent or acquiescence of a trustee, receiver, or liquidator appointed pursuant to clause (v) above has not been vacated or stayed within ninety (90) days after the expiration of any such stay.

14.2. Continuation of the Business of the Partnership After Dissolution. Upon dissolution of the Partnership in accordance with Section 14.1(b)(2) or Section 14.1(b)(4), and a failure of all Partners to agree to continue the business of the Partnership and appoint a successor Managing General Partner as provided in Section 14.1, then within an additional ninety (90) days, the remaining Partners may elect to reconstitute the Partnership and continue its business on the same terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and having as a Managing General Partner a Person elected by the remaining Partners. Upon any such election, all Partners shall be bound thereby and shall be deemed to have consented thereto. Unless such an election is made within one hundred eighty (180) days after dissolution, the Partnership shall conduct only activities necessary to wind up its affairs. If such an election is made within one hundred eighty (180) days after dissolution or within ninety (90) days after any event in Section 14.1(b), then:

(a) the reconstituted Partnership shall continue until the end of the term set forth in Section 1.5 unless earlier dissolved in accordance with this Article XIV;

(b) if the successor Managing General Partner is not the former Managing General

Partner, then the interest of the former Managing General Partner shall be treated thenceforth as the interest of a Class B Limited Partner in the Partnership; and

(c) all necessary steps shall be taken to cancel this Agreement and the Certificate of Limited Partnership and to enter into a new partnership agreement and certificate of limited partnership, and the successor Managing General Partner may for this purpose exercise the powers of attorney granted to the Managing General Partner pursuant to Section 1.4;

provided, that the right of the remaining partners to select a successor Managing General Partner and to reconstitute and to continue the business of the Partnership shall not exist and may not be exercised unless the Partnership has received an Opinion of Counsel that (i) the exercise of the right would not result in the loss of limited liability of the Limited Partner and (ii) neither the Partnership nor the reconstituted Partnership would be treated as an associations taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes upon the exercise of such right to continue.

14.3. Liquidation. Upon dissolution of the Partnership, unless the Partnership is continued under an election to reconstitute and continue the Partnership pursuant to Section 14.2, the Managing General Partner or, in the event the Managing General Partner has been dissolved or removed, become bankrupt as defined in Section 14.1, or has withdrawn from the Partnership, a liquidator or liquidating committee selected by the mutual agreement of the other Partners shall be the Liquidator. The Liquidator (if other than the Managing General Partner) shall be entitled to receive such compensation for its services as may be approved by the Limited Partners. The Liquidator shall agree not to resign at any time without fifteen (15) days prior written notice and (if other than the Managing General Partner) may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by notice of removal, given by the Limited Partners. Upon dissolution, removal or resignation of the Liquidator, a successor and substitute Liquidator (who shall have and succeed to all rights, powers, and duties of the original Liquidator) shall within thirty (30) days thereafter be selected by the Limited Partners. The right to appoint a successor or substitute Liquidator in the manner provided herein shall be recurring and continuing for so long as the functions and services of the Liquidator are authorized to continue under the provisions hereof, and every reference herein to the Liquidator will be deemed to refer also to any such successor or substitute Liquidator appointed in the manner herein provided. Except as expressly provided in this Article XIV, the Liquidator appointed in the manner provided herein shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or consent of any Agreement (but subject to all of the applicable limitations, contractual and otherwise, upon the exercise of such powers, other than the limitations on sale set forth in this Agreement) and to the extent necessary or desirable in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, the duties and functions of the Liquidator hereunder for and during such period of time as shall be reasonably required in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator to complete the winding up and liquidation of the Partnership as provided for herein. The Liquidator shall liquidate the assets of the Partnership, and apply and distribute the proceeds of such liquidation, in the following order of priority, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable law:

(a) the payment to creditors of the Partnership, including Partners, in order of priority provided by law; and the creation of a reserve of cash or other assets of the Partnership for contingent liabilities in an amount, if any, determined by the Liquidator to the appropriate Person for such purposes:

(b) to the Partners in proportion to the positive balances in their respective Capital Accounts; provided, however, that prior to such distribution, the Capital Accounts shall have been adjusted to reflect the allocations of Net Income and Net Loss set forth in Article V hereof prior to such distribution; and thereafter

14.4. Distribution in Kind. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.3 which require the liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if upon dissolution of the Partnership the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may, in its absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (other than those to Partners) and/or may, in its absolute discretion, distribute to the Partners, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.3(b) undivided interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in kind shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operating of such properties at such time. The fair market value of any property distributed in kind shall be determined in accordance with Section 5.4.

14.5. Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership. Upon the completion of the distribution of Partnership property as provided in Sections 14.3 and 14.4, the Partnership shall be terminated, and the Liquidator (or the Managing General Partner and the Limited Partners, if necessary) shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate of Limited Partnership and all qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership.

14.6. Reasonable Time for Winding Up. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Partnership and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 14.3 in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up.

14.7. Return of Capital. Upon dissolution of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner shall contribute an amount equal to the deficit balance in its Capital Account in accordance with Section 5.8. Other than as provided in the preceding sentence, no Managing General Partner or limited partner of the Partnership shall be required to restore a deficit in its Capital Account or shall be personally liable for the return of the Capital Contributions of any Partner or any portion thereof.

14.8. Waiver of Partition. Each Partner hereby waives any right to partition of the Partnership property.

15.1. Amendment to be Adopted Solely by the Managing General Partner. The Managing General Partner (pursuant to its power of attorney from the Limited Partners), without the consent of the Limited Partners, may amend any provision of this Agreement and execute, swear to,

acknowledge, deliver, file, and record whatever documents may be required in connection therewith, solely to reflect:

(a) a change in the name of the Partnership or the location of the principal place of business of the Partnership;

(b) a change that the Managing General Partner, in its sole discretion, has determined to be reasonable and necessary or appropriate to qualify or continue the qualification of the Partnership as a limited partnership or a partnership in which limited partners have limited liability under the laws of any state or that is necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Managing General Partner to ensure that the Partnership will not be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes;

(c) a change that (i) in the good faith discretion of the Managing General Partner does not adversely affect the Limited Partners in any material respect or (ii) is necessary or desirable to satisfy any requirements, conditions, or guidelines contained in any opinion, directive, order, ruling or regulation of any federal or state agency or judicial authority or contained in any federal or state statute;

(d) an amendment that is necessary, in the Opinion of Counsel, to prevent the Partnership or the Managing General Partner or its directors or officers from in any manner being subjected to the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, as amended, or the “plan asset” regulations adopted under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, whether or not substantially similar to plan asset regulations currently applied or proposed by the United States Department of Labor.

15.2. Amendment Procedures. Amendments to this Agreement may be proposed by the Managing General Partner or by the Class B Limited Partner.

16.1. Addresses. The address of each Partner for all purposes shall be the address set forth on the signature page of this Agreement or such other address of which each other Partner has received written notice.

16.2. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing (including telex and telegraphic communications) and shall be, as elected by the Person giving such notice, hand-delivered by messenger or courier service, telecommunicated, or mailed (airmail, if international) by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested. Each such notice shall be deemed delivered (a) on the date delivered if by personal delivery, (b) on the date telecommunicated, if by telegraph, (c) on the date of transmission with confirmed answer-back, if by telex, and (d) on the date upon which the return receipt is signed or delivery is refused or the notice is designated by the postal authorities as not

16.3. Titles and Captions. All article or section titles or captions of this Agreement are for convenience only. They shall not be deemed part of this Agreement and in no way shall define, limit, extend, or describe the scope or intent of any provisions hereof. Except as specifically provided otherwise, references to “Articles” and “Sections” are to Articles and Sections of this Agreement.

16.4. Pronouns and Plurals. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine, or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns, and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa.

16.5. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns.

16.6. Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the partners pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings pertaining thereto.

16.7. Creditors. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any creditors of the Partnership.

16.8. Waiver. No failure by any party to insist upon strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement, or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof shall constitute a waiver of such breach or any other covenant, duty, agreement, or condition.

16.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one agreement binding on all stet, notwithstanding that all such parties are not signatories to the original or the same counterpart.

16.10. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law.

16.11. Invalidity of Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected thereby.

16.12. Enforcement Costs. If any legal action or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection with any provision of this Agreement, the successful or prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, and all expenses even if not taxable as court costs (including, without limitation, all such fees, costs, and expenses incident to appeals), incurred in that action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which such party or parties may be entitled.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement on the date first above written.
