The Registrant also is required to indemnify the Managing Partner and the general partners against any loss or damage incurred by any such partner by reason of any action performed or omission made in good faith by any of them on behalf of the Registrant and in a manner reasonably believed by such partner to be within the scope of his

As a result of these provisions, the limited partners of the Registrant will have more limited rights against such persons than they would have absent the limitations in the Partnership Agreement.

The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
2.
The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2006.
3.
The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2006.
4.
The description of the limited partnership interests in the Registrant, which is contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed under the Exchange Act, including any amendment or report updating such description.
All documents filed by the Registrant with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date hereof (except for the portions of the Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K which are furnished but not filed) and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall hereby be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.  Any statement contained herein, in an amendment hereto, or in any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated herein by reference shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed
document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated herein by reference, which statement is also incorporated herein by reference, modifies or supersedes such statement.  Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4.
Description of Securities.
The securities to be offered are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Partnership Agreement of the Registrant, as amended from time to time (the "Partnership Agreement") provides that neither the Managing Partner (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) nor any of the general partners will be liable to any of the partners for any acts or omissions made in good faith on behalf of the Registrant and in a manner reasonably believed by him or her to be within the scope of his or her authority and in the best interests of the Registrant, provided such partner was not guilty of gross negligence or gross misconduct.  The Registrant also is required to indemnify the Managing Partner and the general partners against any loss or damage incurred by any such partner by reason of any action performed or omission made in good faith by any of them on behalf of the Registrant and in a manner reasonably believed by such partner to be within the scope of his
or her authority or in furtherance of the Registrant's interest, other than actions for which such partner would be liable as described above.  As a result of these provisions, the limited partners of the Registrant will have more limited rights against such persons than they would have absent the limitations in the Partnership Agreement.  Indemnification of the Managing Partner and the general partners would deplete the Registrant's assets unless the Registrant's indemnification obligation is covered by insurance.  At present, the Registrant has no such insurance coverage and no plans to obtain such insurance coverage.

price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
