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
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.</p>

any
person who is or was an officer, director, member, partner, fiduciary or
trustee of any entity described in (1), (2) or (3) above;
(5)
any
person who is or was serving as a director, officer, member, partner, fiduciary
or trustee of another person at the request of our general partner or any
departing general partner or any of their affiliates; or
(6)
any
person designated by our general partner.
Any indemnification under
these provisions will only be out of our assets. Unless it otherwise agrees,
our general partner will not be personally liable for, or have any obligation
to contribute or loan funds or assets to us to enable us to effectuate,
indemnification. Our partnership agreement permits us to purchase insurance
against liabilities asserted against and expenses incurred by persons for our
activities, regardless of whether we would have the power to indemnify the
person against liabilities under our partnership agreement.
Subject to any terms,
conditions or restrictions set forth in the partnership agreement,
Section 17-108 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership
Act empowers a Delaware limited partnership to indemnify and hold harmless any
partner or other person from and against all claims and demands whatsoever.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned
registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any
period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to
this registration statement:
(i)
To include any
prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
2
(ii)
To reflect in the
prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement; 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),
(a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
reports filed with or furnished to the SEC 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, or is contained in
a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of 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 undersigned
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 Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to section 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
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
