of the Partnership that additional funding requirements of Partnership in excess of the Partner’s current capital account will be obtained from lenders upon terms and conditions approved by the Management Committee or in accordance with the Budget, provided, however, if such funds cannot be obtained, the Partners shall make additional capital contributions (“Additional Capital Contributions”) to the Partnership as required by the Budget and approved by the Management Committee.

(a)(i) As of March 21, 1983 the initial Capital Contribution of Properties had a tax basis equal to its agreed fair market value of $29,000,000. However, the initial Capital Contributions of HCC and Humboldt -which had an aggregate agreed fair market value of $29,000,000 -had an aggregate tax basis of only $18,914,714, consisting of a basis of $821,125 for HCC and $18,093,589 for Humboldt. Thus, the initial Capital Contributions of HCC and Humboldt had an aggregate “built-in” taxable gain of $10,085,286, allocated $2,803,875 for Home and $7,281,411 for Humboldt (fair market value minus tax basis).
(ii) In order to equalize the value of the initial Capital Contributions to the Partnership, the amount of “built-in” taxable gain of $10,085,286 as specified above shall be allocated on a pro-rata per acre basis over the net acreage contained in the Property described in Exhibit A. Upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of any portion of such Property, the amount so allocated to such portion of the Property shall be allocated, solely for income tax purposes, and pursuant to Section 704(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, Section 17857(b) of the California Revenue & Taxation Code, and any regulations issued under the authority of such Sections, 100% to HCC and and Humboldt. All amounts allocated to HCC and Humboldt under this paragraph (ii) shall be divided 27.802% to HCC and 72.198% to Humboldt. Net acreage for purposes of this Section shall be deemed to include all portions of said Property not dedicated for public use, transferred to an owner’s association, planned for open space or golf course usage, or conveyed by the Partnership for no or nominal consideration. At least once annually, if necessary, a new determination of net acreage in said Property which is still owned by the Partnership shall be made and such built-in taxable gain not already allocated for income tax purposes to HCC and Humboldt shall be reallocated over such acreage. Any transferee of a Partner’s interest in the Partnership, or any portion thereof, whether or not such transferee is a Substitute Partner, shall be liable for any tax gain attributable to the transferred interest as a result of the provisions of this subparagraph (a).
(b) Except as provided in paragraph (a) above, all profits, gains, income, losses, deductions, and credits of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with their Partnership Interests.
5.3 Partnership Interest Transfer and Adjustments. In the event of a transfer of any kind or all of an interest in the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement, the profits, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Partnership for such fiscal year shall be allocated between or among the respective parties
or the Partners, as the case may be, in such manner as determined by the Managing Partner, with the approval of the Partnership’s independent Certified Public Accountants, which is consistent with the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 706(c)(2) or any applicable successor thereto; provided, however, if consistent with such provisions of Section 706(C)(2) such allocation shall be made in the manner provided in section 7.2 below.
5.4 Distributions of Distributable Cash. Distributable Cash attributable to each Partnership fiscal year (or portion thereof) shall be divided among and paid to the Partners in proportion to their respective Partnership Interests, provided that any sums loaned by one Partner to another Partner pursuant to Section 4.3 plus interest thereon shall be paid to the lending Partner from proceeds otherwise payable to the borrowing Partner pursuant to the provisions of said Section 4.3.
5.5 Limitations on Distributable Cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the distribution of Distributable Cash to the Partners shall be subject to the following special limitations:
-5-
(a) No distribution shall be made by the Partnership if, immediately after such distribution, the Partnership’s assets will not exceed all current liabilities of the Partner ship.
(b) No distribution shall be made by the Partnership if the Partnership is in default with respect to any indebtedness or liability of the Partnership.
(c) No distribution shall be made if the Management Committee determines that such distribution will in any way jeopardize or limit the business of the Partnership.

7.7 Withdrawal, Default, Bankruptcy or Dissolution of a Partner; Purchase Option.
(a) For purposes of this Section 7.7 and Section 7.8, HCC and Humboldt shall be deemed to be a single Partner. Any Default by HCC or Humboldt shall be deemed to be a Default by both. Any election, action or inaction by one shall be deemed to be a similar election, action or inaction by the other. Each of the Partners agrees not to voluntarily withdraw from the Partnership prior to the expiration of its term without the consent of all other Partners. Upon a Default by any Partner under the terms of this Agreement, or upon any Partner’s earlier bankruptcy or insolvency, or dissolution or termination (as the foregoing events are defined in Section 7.7(b) below) the remaining Partner shall forthwith become vested with the exclusive right and option for a period of sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any such event to elect to purchase the entire interest of the Partner which is terminating its status as a Partner (the “Retiring Partner”) at a purchase price determined in accordance with Section 7.7(d) hereof,
(b) For purposes of this Section 7.7, the events herein referred to shall have the following respective meanings:
(i) “Default” shall be deemed to have occurred in the event of a Default by any Partner with respect to any condition, obligation or undertaking under this Agreement (including without limitation any attempted transfer in violation of this Agreement) which is not cured within thirty (30) days following receipt of notice of such Default from any other Partner (or if such Default cannot be practicably cured within said 30-day period, then such defaulting Partner shall have provided a written undertaking satisfactory to the other Partners to proceed diligently to cure such Default);
(ii) “Bankruptcy or insolvency” shall be deemed to have occurred if any Partner shall have filed in any court pur-
-12-
suant to any statute of the United States or of any state, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, or shall file for reorganization or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or a material portion of the Partner property, or if any Partner shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they fall due or seek, consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of any material portion of its property. If there shall be filed against any Partner in any court pursuant to any statute of the United States or of any state, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, or for reorganization, or for appointment of a receiver or a trustee, of all or a substantial portion of the Partner’s property, and within ninety (90) days after the commencement of any such proceeding against the Partner such petition shall not have been dismissed (or satisfactory evidence that such Partner is diligently contesting such petition shall not have been received by the other Partner, provided such Partner is not otherwise in Default hereunder), then such Partner against whom such petition has been filed shall be bankrupt or insolvent for purposes of this Agreement. In addition, if the whole or any portion of the interest of any Partner in the Partnership is subject to levy or attachment, and such levy or attachment is not released or discharged within sixty (60) days, such Partner shall be deemed “bankrupt or insolvent” for purposes of this Agreement.
(iii) “Dissolution or termination” shall be deemed to have occurred (x) in the case of a Partner, which is a corporation or a voluntary association upon the earlier of the adoption of a plan of liquidation by such Partner or the effective date of dissolution in accordance with applicable statutory law, and (y) in the case of a partnership Partner, upon the date of dissolution and termination of such partnership in accordance with the provisions of the governing partnership agreement or applicable statutory law.
(c) A Retiring Partner, or its legal representative, whose right, title and interest is to be purchased and succeeded to by another Partner pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall, within ten (10) days after demand from the purchasing Partner, execute and deliver such deeds, bills of sale and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by such purchasing Partner to effect the conveyance and transfer of the entire right, title and interest of such Retiring Partner in the Partnership, and shall, to the extent requested by the purchasing Partner, cooperate to effect a smooth and efficient continuation of the Partnership affairs, including without limitation, the preservation of relationships with contractors, suppliers, laborers, vendors, tenants and others with whom the Partnership transacts business. If the Retiring Partner disputes the right of the purchasing Partner to succeed to the Retiring Partner’s entire right, title and interest in the Partnership, the Retiring Partner shall nevertheless execute instruments and cooperate with the purchasing Partner pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, without, however, being deemed to have waived its rights to damages if the purchasing Partner shall have purchased and succeeded to the interest of the Retiring Partner under this Section 7.7 without having the right to do so, The Retiring Partner shall indemnify and hold the purchasing Partner harmless from and against all loss, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys fees) suffered or incurred by the purchasing Partner if the Retiring Partner shall fail to properly execute instruments and cooperate with the purchasing Partner pursuant to, or shall otherwise fail to perform, the provisions of this Section 7.7.
(d) Upon compliance by the Retiring Partner with
the provisions of the immediately preceding Section 7.7(c), the purchasing Partner shall pay to such Retiring Partner the “Fair Value” thereof (as of the date of such succession), after taking into account all assets and liabilities of the Partnership and the respective rights and obligations of the Partners under this Agreement, including, without limitation the order of priority
-13-
of distribution of Partnership assets provided for in this Agreement, which payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after agreement or determination as to the Fair Value of such Retiring Partner shall be established by mutual agreement of the Partners, or if the Partners do not reach agreement as to Fair Value within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the purchasing Partner of his election to purchase the entire right, title and interest of the Retiring Partner in the Partnership, then such Fair Value as shall be determined by appraisal pursuant to Section 7.8 hereof.
7.8 Appraisal. In the event the Fair Value of the entire right, title and interest of a Partner is to be determined pursuant to Section 7.7, or for any other reason, and the Partners cannot mutually agree as to said Fair Value, any such Partner may serve written notice upon the other Partners stating that an appraisal should be conducted pursuant to this Section 7.8. In such event, within ten (10) days after receipt of any such notice by a Partner, each Partner involved in the transaction requiring such appraisal shall nominate and appoint one appraiser (with HCC and Humboldt together to appoint a single appraiser). Upon the appointment of the two appraisers as hereinabove provided, the two appraisers so appointed shall forthwith and within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the second appraiser and before exchanging views as to the questions at issue, appoint in writing a third appraiser and give written notice of such appointment to each of the Partners. In the event either Partner fails to appoint an appraiser within the ten (10) day period set forth above, or the two appraisers selected by the Partners shall fail to appoint or agree upon such third appraiser within the fifteen (15) day period outlined above, a third appraiser may be selected by the Partners if they so agree upon such third appraiser within a further period of ten (10) days; otherwise, either Partner may apply to the appropriate Court of the State of California for the appointment of any appraiser not appointed or agreed upon within the time periods herein provided. The appraisers selected pursuant hereto shall be sworn faithfully and fairly to determine the question at issue. The determination to be made by the appraisers shall be the Fair Value (on the valuation date specified in this Agreement) of the entire right, title and interest in the Partnership of the Partner whose interest is to be appraised, after taking into account the assets and liabilities of the Partnership and the respective rights and obligations of the Partners under the Agreement, including without limitation the order of priority of distribution of Partnership assets provided for in the Agreement. The three appraisers shall afford each Partner a hearing and the right to submit evidence, with the privilege of cross-examination, on the questions at issue, and shall, with all possible speed, make their determination in writing and give notice of the same to the Partners. If no two of the three appraisers shall render a concurring determination, then the Fair Value shall be deemed to be the average of such appraisals and shall be determined by adding together the three appraisals and dividing such sum by three, provided, however, that any appraisal which is more than ten percent (10%) higher or lower than the next closest appraisal shall be revised to a figure which is ten percent (10%) from the next closest appraisal figure for purposes of determining such average figure. Such resulting figure shall be conclusive and binding upon the Partners. Each Partner shall pay the fees and expenses of its appraiser and any general expenses of the third appraiser and any general expenses of the third appraiser and any general expenses incurred by the panel of appraisers in connection with the appraisal shall be divided equally between the Partners.
(a) In the event any appraiser appointed as aforesaid shall thereafter die or become unable or unwilling to act, such appraiser’s successors shall be appointed in the same manner as provided in this Section 7.8 for the appointment of the appraiser so dying or becoming unable or unwilling to act.
-14-
(b) Any appraiser appointed hereunder shall have no less than five (5) years’ experience in the appraisal of real property of the type owned by the Partnership and shall hold the professional designation of M.A.I.
