by a promissory note in form and substance
satisfactory to the General Partner.
The principal amount of each such loan (i)
shall bear interest at an annual rate

plus one percentage point, with interest
payable monthly in arrears, and (ii) shall

3.4 Capital
Accounts. A separate book account shall be established
and maintained with respect to each
Partner's interest in the Partnership's
capital in accordance with the following
provisions:

the
nature of
income or gain that are allocated to such Partner pursuant to

Partner's Capital Account there shall be debited
(i) the

of, or
that are
secured by, such distributed property), (iii) to the extent not
otherwise
included in calculating a Partner's Capital Contribution, the

all liabilities, if any, of such Partner that are assumed by
the
Partnership, and (v) all
other items, if any, in the nature of expenses or
losses
that are allocated to such Partner pursuant to Sections 4.1,4.2
or
43
hereof.

on Schedule B hereto.
In the event that all or any part of a Partnership Interest or
any
one or more Units are "transferred" within
the meaning of Section 1.704-1
(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Regulations, the
transferee shall succeed to the Capital
Account of the transferor to the extent
that such Capital Account relates to the
Partnership Interest (or portion thereof)
so transferred.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.5 and other provisions
of
this Agreement relating to the maintenance
of the Capital Accounts are intended
to comply with the maintenance of capital
account provisions of Section
1.704-1(b) of the Regulations and shall be
interpreted and applied in a manner
consistent therewith. In the event the
General Partner shall determine that it
is prudent to modify the manner in which
the Capital Accounts, or any one or
more debits or credits thereto (including,
without limitation, debits or credits
relating to liabilities that are secured by
contributed or distributed property
or that are assumed by the Partnership or
any Partner), are computed in order to
comply with such Regulations, the General
Partner may make such modification,
provided that the General Partner has
provided that such modification is not
likely to have a material economic effect
on any Partner. The General Partner
also shall (i) make all adjustments, if
any, that are necessary or, in the
judgment of the General Partner,
appropriate to maintain the proper proportions
of the Capital Accounts and the amount of
Partnership capital reflected on the
Partnership's balance sheet, as computed
for book purposes, in accordance with
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q),
and (ii) make all modifications, if
any, that the General Partner deems
appropriate in the event there occur one or
more unanticipated events that might

to the Exchange Rights Agreement), there
shall be transferred to the Transferee
a Partnership Interest and an amount of the
transferor's Capital Account equal
to the Capital Account balance of the
transferor immediately prior to the
Transfer multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of Units
so Transferred and the denominator of which
is the total number of Units held by
the transferor immediately prior to the
Transfer.

of
the Partners, Schedule B hereto shall set
forth the number of Units held by the

special allocations shall be made in
the following order
(a) Except as
otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of
the
Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4,
if
there is a

(except as
a result of conversion or refinancing of Partnership
indebtedness, certain capital contributions or revaluation of
the
Partnership property as further outlined in Section 1.704-2(f) of
the
Regulations), 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 that Partner's share of the
net
decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain as determined under
Section
1.704-2(g)
of the Regulations. 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, and the allocations to be so made shall be made in
proportion
to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each
Partner
pursuant thereto. This subsection 4.2(a) is intended to comply
with the

(b) Except as
otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of
the
Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article
4
other than
subsection 4.2(a), if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain

(other

necessary,
subsequent
Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Partner's share of the
net
decrease in the Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse
Debt
as
determined under Section 1.704-2(g) of the Regulations. The items
to be
so
allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections
1.704-2(i)(4)
and
1.704-2(j)(2) of the Regulations. This subsection 4.2(b) is

any Partner unexpectedly receives in
respect of
any Fiscal Year any adjustment, allocation or distribution
described
in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4),(5) or (6) of the
Regulations
and such
Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of
Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if
necessary,
subsequent
Fiscal Years) shall be specially allocated to such Partner in
an amount
and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit as
quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation
pursuant
to this subsection 4.2(c) shall be made only if and to the
extent
that such
Partner would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all
other
allocations provided for in this Article 4 have been
tentatively
made as if
this subsection 4.2(c) was not in this Agreement. This
subsection
4.2(c) is intended to constitute a "qualified income offset"
under
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith.
(d) In the event
any Partner has a deficit Capital Account
at the end
of any Fiscal Year that 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 Sections 1.704-1(g)(1)
and
1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, such Partner shall be
specially
allocated
items of Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and,
if
necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in the amount of such excess
as
quickly as
possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to
this
subsection 4.2(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that
such
Partner
would have a Capital Account deficit in excess of such sum
after
all other
allocations provided for in this Article 4 have been made as if
subsection
4.2(c) hereof and this subsection 4.2(d) were not in this
Agreement.
(e) Nonrecourse
Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be
specially
allocated to Partners as determined by the General Partner in
accordance
with the Regulations. A Partner's share of nonrecourse
liabilities shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.752 of
the
Regulations. The Partners hereby agree that: (i) in accordance
with
Section
1.752-3(a)(2) of the Regulations, ZK and HA shall be allocated
a
portion of
the nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership equal to the
amount of
taxable gain that would be allocated to them under Section
704(c) of
the Code if the Partnership disposed of (in a taxable
transaction) any property contributed by them to the
Partnership
(including
under the Contribution Agreement), subject to the nonrecourse
liabilities encumbering such property in full satisfaction of
such
liabilities and for no other consideration; and (ii) any excess
nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership described in Section
1.752-3(a)(3) of the Regulations shall be allocated among the
Partners
using any
reasonable method selected by the General Partner that is
permitted
under Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Regulations.
(f) Partner
Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall
be
specially allocated to the Partner that bears the economic risk of
loss
with
respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner
Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable (as determined under
Sections
1.704-2(b)(4) and 1.704.2(i)(1) of the Regulations).
(g) To the
extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of
any
Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or Section 743(b) of
the
Code is
required, pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or
Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) of the Regulations, to be taken into
account in
determining the 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
such
basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to
Partner
in
accordance with their
15
<PAGE>
respective
Capital Account balances in a manner consistent with the manner
in which
the Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to
such
sections
of the Regulations.
(h)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein,
the General Partner (or if there is more than one General
Partner,
all of the
General Partners as a group) shall be allocated not lest than
1% of each
material item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and
credit at
all times during the existence of the Partnership; provided
however,
that temporary nonconformance with the provisions of this
Section
4.2(h)
shall be permitted to the extent permitted by Revenue Procedure
89-12 or
any successor provision.
4.3 Curative
Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 4.2
(the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended
to comply with certain requirements
of the Regulations. The Partners intend
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 4.3.
Therefore, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Article 4 (other than the
Regulatory Allocations), the General
Partner shall make such offsetting special
allocations of Partnership income,
gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner
the General Partner determines
appropriate so that, to the extent
possible, after such offsetting allocations
are made, each Partner's Capital Account
balance is equal to the Capital Account
balance that Partner would have had if the
Regulatory Allocations were not part
of this Agreement and all Partnership items
were allocated pursuant to Section
4.1 hereof. In exercising its discretion
under this Section 4.3, the General
Partner shall take into account future
Regulatory Allocations under subsections
4.2(a) and (b) hereof that, although not
yet made, are likely to offset other
Regulatory Allocations previously made
under subsections 4.2(e) and (f) hereof.
4.4 Tax
Allocations.
(a) Subject to
subsections 4.4(b), (c) and (d) hereof, items
of income,
gain, loss and deduction and tax credits to be allocated for
federal
income tax purposes (collectively, "Tax Items") shall be
allocated
among the
Partners as nea
