Upon subscription, limited partners elect to have their units treat their units as Class A units or Class B units.

Limited partners may vote to, among other things, (a) amend the partnership agreement, subject to certain limitations, (b) change the business purpose or investment objectives of the Partnership, and (c) add or remove a general partner. A majority vote on any of the above described matters will bind the Partnership without the concurrence of the general partners. Each limited partnership unit has equal voting rights, regardless of class.
On December 31, 1997, the Partnership commenced a public offering of up to $35,000,000 of limited partnership units pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The Partnership commenced active operations on March 3, 1998 upon receiving and accepting subscriptions for 125,000 units.
