For the Partnership Properties, the Partnership shall establish a cash reserve designated as Working Capital Reserves for normal repairs, replacements, contingencies and related items.

If in any fiscal quarter the General Partners should determine that reserves established by them in excess of Initial Working Capital Reserves and funded from Cash Flow From Operations are in excess of that amount deemed sufficient in connection with the operation of Partnership Properties, such reserves may be reduced and the amount of such reduction distributed as a portion of Cash Flow From Operations: provided, however, that a reduction below the Initial Working Capital Reserves level shall be distributed as a part of Cash From Initial Working Capital Reserves (as set out above) and not as a portion of Cash Flow From Operations.

 

Upon the sale, financing, refinancing or liquidation of any Partnership Property, any Working Capital Reserves applicable to that property need not be maintained thereafter, but may be distributed in the same manner as set out above in this Paragraph 3.2 (i.e., Working Capital Reserves in excess of Initial Working Capital Reserves and funded from Cash Flow From Operations shall be distributed as Cash Flow From Operations and Initial Working Capital Reserves shall be distributed as Cash From Initial Working Capital Reserves).

 

In all events, however, the General Partners may apply any funds to be distributed from Working Capital Reserves toward reserves for other Partnership Properties rather than distributing such funds according to this Paragraph 3.2.

 

3.3 Initial Financing. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 11 of this Partnership Agreement, during that portion of the term of the Partnership after the Close of the Offering Date, the Partnership may obtain initial financing on any Partnership Property purchased for all or substantially all cash (over 75% of the purchase price consists of cash), and all proceeds therefrom may be reinvested by the Partnership.
