Partnership; provided, however, that in the event of any such name change, each Partner

Xxxxx 00000.
2.3 Time of Formation. The Partnership shall commence on the date of the
filing of a certificate of limited partnership with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas
pursuant to the Act for the purposes and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
2.4 Filing of Certificate. The Managing General Partner shall promptly cause

Partnership
-3-
and any affidavits required to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas and shall do all other things requisite to the formation of the Partnership as a limited partnership pursuant to the Act. The Managing General Partner shall prepare and cause to be filed, at the expense of the Partnership, such amendments to the certificate of limited partnership as may be required consistent with this Agreement.
2.5 Term of the Partnership. The Partnership shall continue until terminated s provided in Article 10 hereof or as otherwise provided by law.

which may occur prior to the time of formation of the Partnership, and each Partner hereby agrees, with respect to any such claim, debt, or obligation so incurred by such
Partner, to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership and other Partners from and against the same.
2.7 Independent Activities. The Managing General Partner, other General Partners and each Limited Partner may, notwithstanding the existence of this Agreement,
engage in whatever activities they desire, whether the same be competitive with the Partnership or otherwise, without having or incurring any obligation to offer any interest
in such activities to the Partnership or any party hereto. Neither this Agreement nor any activity undertaken pursuant hereto will prevent any Partner from engaging in such
activities, or require any Partner to permit the Partnership or the other Partners to participate in any such activities, and each Partner hereby waives, relinquishes, and
renounces any such right, claim, or participation.
ARTICLE 3
PURPOSE AND INTENT
3.1 Purpose and Intent. The Series B common stock (the “Series B stock”) of A. H.
Belo Corporation which is owned or may hereafter be owned by the Partnership carries with it
valuable voting rights which would be greatly reduced if such stock becomes owned by anyone other
than a lineal descendant of a great-grandparent of Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Xx. or by a spouse of any
such lineal descendant (ownership by a partnership, all the partners of which consist of such
lineal descendants or spouses thereof, is for this purpose the equivalent of direct ownership by
such descendants and/or spouses). Such stock with its attendant voting rights, when voted as a
block, assures the owners thereof of a significant voice in corporate affairs. The primary purpose
of the Partnership is to maintain for a significant period of time all of the voting rights of the
Series B stock and to prevent ownership of the Series B stock from becoming fractionalized.
Consistent with the foregoing, the purposes and intent of the Partnership are to own, operate, and
maintain the Partnership Assets, to produce income from Partnership Assets, to hold the
Partnership Assets for investment and/or to sell Partnership Assets for capital appreciation, and
to provide a means for the Partners to
-4-
preserve the Partnership Assets from the claims of others, which purposes shall include the following:
3.1.1 | to acquire and accept conveyance of the Partnership Assets and any additional assets conveyed to the Partnership at any time and from time to time; | ||
3.1.2 | to acquire, own, operate, lease, sell, and otherwise deal with ranches and farms; | ||
3.1.3 | to vote, and otherwise deal with and manage, stock in any corporation which is a Partnership Asset. | ||
3.1.4 | to own, operate, maintain, construct improvements, rent, lease, or sell the Partnership Assets, whether as a part or as a whole; | ||
3.1.5 | to incur debt for the acquisition of Partnership Assets and for other Partnership purposes; | ||
3.1.6 | to produce income from the Partnership Assets; | ||
3.1.7 | to hold the Partnership Assets for capital appreciation and investment and to sell or exchange all or any part of the Partnership Assets; | ||
3.1.8 | to continue the ownership of the Partnership Assets without fractionalizing and to restrict the rights of others to acquire interests in the Partnership Assets; | ||
3.1.9 | to provide flexibility in business planning not available through trusts, corporations or other business entities; | ||
3.1.10 | to facilitate the administration of the Partnership Assets and to reduce the cost and business interruptions associated with the disability, bankruptcy or death of a Partner; | ||
3.1.11 | to make loans to Persons in furtherance of the Partnership purpose; | ||
3.1.12 | to invest, reinvest, encumber, pledge, mortgage, finance, and refinance any and all Partnership Assets; and/or | ||
3.1.13 | to engage in any other lawful business under the Act and within the contemplation of this Agreement as long as the same shall be for the benefit of the Partnership. |
-5-
3.2 Other Jurisdictions. The Partnership is authorized to engage in all business
permitted by the Act. If the Partnership qualifies to do business in a foreign jurisdiction, then
it may transact all business permitted in that jurisdiction. There is no jurisdictional
restriction upon Partnership Assets or the activities of the Partnership.
ARTICLE 4
CAPITALIZATION, CONTRIBUTIONS, AND LOANS BY PARTNERS
4.1 Capital Accounts. “Capital Account” shall mean a separate capital account
maintained for each Partner, determined and adjusted as follows:
4.1.1 Each Partner’s Capital Account shall be credited with the Partner’s
Capital Contributions, such Partner’s distributive share of income and gain of the
Partnership allocable to such Partner pursuant to Article 9 hereof, and the amount
of any Partnership liabilities that are assumed by such Partner within the meaning
of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(c);
4.1.2 Each Partner’s Capital Account shall be debited with the amount of
cash and the fair market value of any Partnership Assets distributed to the Partner
(net of liabilities secured by such property that such Partner is considered to
assume or take subject to under Code Section 752) pursuant to any provision of
this Agreement, such Partner’s distributive share of losses or deductions of the
Partnership allocated to such Partner pursuant to Article 9 hereof, and the amount
of any liabilities of such Partner that are assumed by the Partnership within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(c);
4.1.3 In the event that any interest in the Partnership is transferred in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the
Capital Account of the transferor to the extent that it relates to the transferred
interest; and
4.1.4 This definition of “Capital Account” and the other provisions of this
Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply
with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied
in a manner consistent with such regulation. The Managing General Partner may
modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts are maintained under this
definition in order to comply with these provisions, as well as upon the occurrence
of events that might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with the
Treasury Regulations.
4.2 Initial Contributions. The assets listed on the Exhibits attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference constitute the initial contributions to the capital of the
Partnership.
-6-
4.3 Duty to Contribute. Each Partner shall be personally liable to
the Partnership to contribute to the capital of the Partnership the full amount of its initial
contribution set forth in Article 4.2 hereof.
4.4 Withdrawal of Capital. Except as otherwise set forth herein, no Partner
shall be permitted to withdraw capital from the Partnership.
4.5 Additional Contributions. No Partner shall be obligated to make any
additional contributions to the capital of the Partnership except as agreed upon in writing
by all Partners.
4.6 Adjustment of Partnership Interests. To simplify Partnership accounting,
any adjustment to the Partnership Interests of the Partners caused by additional Capital
Contributions (made with the consent of all Partners) shall be made semi-annually on the
June 30 or December 31 following the contribution.
4.7 Partnership Interests Maintained Separately. A General Partner’s general
Partnership Interest will be maintained separately from any limited Partnership Interest
which he may have.
4.8 Loans by Partners. Subject to the requirements of Article 5.2, any Partner
or its Affiliates may make financing available to the Partnership as Optional Loans but
shall have no obligation to do so. Any such party loaning money to the Partnership shall
have the same rights regarding the loan as would any unaffiliated Person making the loan
to the Partnership, except as may be otherwise expressly set forth herein.
4.9 Liability of Partners. The liability of each General Partner shall be as
provided under the Act. The liability of each Limited Partner with regard to the
Partnership in all respects is restricted and limited to the amount of the actual capital
contributions that such Limited Partner makes or expressly agrees in writing to make to
the Partnership. No Limited Partner shall be assessed or required to make additional
capital contributions to the Partnership above that which the Limited Partner has
expressly agreed in writing to make to the Partnership.
ARTICLE 5
COMPENSATION OF THE GENERAL PARTNERS AND AFFILIATES
5.1 Compensation. The Managing General Partner may pay reasonable compensation for any
services performed or rendered to the Partnership by any Person, including the Managing General
Partner or an Affiliate of any Partner or any other Partner. The Managing General Partner will be
entitled to a reasonable annual compensation to be measured by the time required in the
administration of the Partnership, the value of Partnership Assets, and the responsibilities
assumed in the discharge of the duties of Managing General Partner.
-7-
5.2 Interest on Optional Loans. Optional Loans made pursuant to Article 4.8 hereof
shall provide for interest not in excess of the base commercial rate of interest as announced or
published by NationsBank of Texas, N.A., Dallas, Texas, or its successor, from time to time during
the term of the loan, plus one percent per annum.
ARTICLE 6
MANAGEMENT AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE GENERAL PARTNERS
6.1 General Responsibility of the Managing General Partner. Management of
the day-to-day affairs of the Partnership shall be vested in the Managing General Partner.
The Limited Partners, in their capacity as such, shall not have either the obligation or the
right to take part directly in the active day-to-day management of the business, and the
Limited Partners, acting in such capacity, are not authorized to do or perform any act,
thing, or deed in the name of or for or on behalf of the Partnership. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Managing General Partner may employ, engage, or retain any person,
including a person who may be a Partner, to render any services to the Partnership as
are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Managing General Partner.
6.2 Rights, Powers, and Duties of the Managing General Partner. Except as
expressly limited herein, the Managing General Partner shall have authority to do any and
all things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Partnership, including, but not
limited to: (i) the voting of, dealing with and managing, all stock held by the Partnership
and determining whether to buy, sell or exchange such stock and/or any other
Partnership Assets, (ii) the execution of such documents as he may deem advisable for
Partnership purposes and (iii) the performance of or causing to be performed the
Partnership’s obligations, under any agreement to which the Partnership is a party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Managing General Partner shall not perform any act
which shall be in contravention of the Act or this Agreement, including, but not limited to,
using, directly or indirectly, any assets of this Partnership for any purpose other than
carrying on the business and purpose of this Partnership as set forth in Article 3.1 hereof,
for the full and exclusive benefit of all its Partners.
Except as may otherwise be provided herein or under the Act, the Managing General Partner
shall have full authority and power to do all things or acts deemed necessary or appropriate by
him to carry out the purposes of the Partnership and shall possess the same rights and powers as a
general partner in a partnership without limited partners (a general partnership) formed under the
laws of the State of Texas. The Managing General Partner shall have the authority to make any tax
elections available to the Partnership. Third parties dealing with the Partnership shall rely on
the act of the Managing General Partner as the act of the Partnership.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Managing General Partner shall not have authority to sell
or exchange all, or substantially all, of the Partnership Assets without the prior approval of a
majority-in-interest of the Partners.
-8-
The Non-Managing General Partner shall not act for the Partnership so long as the Managing
General Partner is carrying out his duties and responsibilities hereunder. In the event of the
prolonged absence or physical disability of the Managing General Partner (as determined in good
faith by an 80% majority-in-interest of the other Partners), the Non-Managing General Partner
shall have the authority and powers of the Managing General Partner during the period of such
prolonged absence or physical disability.
6.3 Waiver of Self-Dealing. The Managing General Partner shall have the
authority to enter into any transaction on behalf of the Partnership despite the fact that
another party to the transaction may be (i) a trust of which a Partner is a trustee or
beneficiary; (ii) an estate of which a Partner is an executor, administrator or beneficiary;
(iii) a business controlled by one or more Partners or a business of which any Partner is
also a director, officer or employee; (iv) any Affiliate; (v) any Partner, acting individually;
or (vi) any relative of a Partner; provided the terms of the transaction are no less
favorable than those the Partnership could obtain from unrelated third parties.
6.4 Limitations on All Partners. Neither any General Partner nor any Limited
Partner shall do anything in contravention of the Act or do any of the following acts:
6.4.1 | use the name of the Partnership (or any substantially similar name) or any trademark or trade name adopted by the Partnership, except in connection with the Partnership’s business; | ||
6.4.2 | disclose to any non-Partner any of the Partnership business practices, trade secrets, or any other information not generally known to the business community, except in conjunction with the Partnership’s business; | ||
6.4.3 | do any other act or deed with the intention of harming the operations of the Partnership; | ||
6.4.4 | do any act contrary to this Agreement; | ||
6.4.5 | do any act which would make it impossible to carry on the intended or ordinary purposes of the Partnership; | ||
6.4.6 | confess a judgment against the Partnership; | ||

6.4.8 | admit another Person as a Partner of the Partnership, except as provided herein. |
-9-
ARTICLE 7
CERTAIN TRANSFERS NOT PERMITTED — DEATH OR BANKRUPTCY
7.1 Transfers of Partnership Interests Not Permitted Without Consent; Other
Restrictions on Transfers. A Partner may not sell, assign, give, bequeath, will,
transfer, exchange, convey, encumber, mortgage, pledge, or otherwise dispose of its Partnership
Interest (or any part thereof or interest therein) (collectively referred to as “Transfer”)
except with the prior written consent of all Partners.
At any time during which the Partnership owns any Series B Common Stock in A. H. Belo
Corporation, under no circumstances shall any Partner Transfer any Partnership Interest to a
Person other than a Permitted Transferee, as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation of A. H.
Belo Corporation, as amended from time to time, nor shall any Person other than a Permitted
Transferee ever be a Partner.
The primary purpose of the Partnership is as set forth in Article 3.1. Therefore, any
purported Transfer of a Partnership Interest in violation of the provisions of this Article shall
be null and void, and the purported transferee shall have no rights of any kind in the
Partnership. The non-transferring Partners, or any of them, in addition to any other remedies
available under this Agreement and at law, in equity and otherwise, may seek to enjoin such
Transfer, and the transferring Partner agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of any court of
competent jurisdiction and to be bound by an order of such court enjoining such purported
Transfer.
7.2 Death, Bankruptcy, or Mental Incompetence of Partner. The death,
bankruptcy, or mental incompetence of any Partner shall not have the effect of
terminating or dissolving the Partnership except as specified herein.
7.2.1 Upon the death of a General Partner (the “Deceased General Partner”), the
general Partnership Interest of the Deceased General Partner shall be converted from a
general Partnership Interest into a limited Partnership Interest. After the consent
required by Article 7.1 is given, the estate of the Deceased General Partner shall succeed
to the limited Partnership Interest of the Deceased General Partner, but the estate shall
have only the rights of an assignee of such Partnership Interest and shall not be admitted
as a Limited Partner except upon the written consent of all Partners and the written
agreement by the personal representative of the estate to be bound by the provisions of
this Agreement. In the event another General Partner remains after such death, the
Partnership will not be dissolved and wound up if the remaining General Partner elects to
carry on the Partnership business as provided in the Act.
If Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx Xx. dies while acting as Managing General Partner and Xxxxx X.
Xxxxxxx III is surviving, Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx III shall assume the authority and powers of the
Managing General Partner.
-10-
7.2.2
Upon the death of the last surviving or continuing General Partner
(the “Last General Partner”), the
general Partnership Interest of the deceased Last
General Partner shall be converted from a general Partnership Interest into a
limited Partnership Interest. After the consent required by Article 7.1 is given, the
estate of such deceased Last General Partner shall succeed to the limited
Partnership Interest of such Partner, but the estate shall have only the rights of an
assignee of the Partnership Interest and shall not be admitted as a Limited Partner
except upon the written consent of all Partners and the written agreement by the
personal representative of the estate to be bound by the provisions of this
Agreement. If there is no General Partner after the death of the Last General
Partner, then the Partners, by unanimous vote taken within 90 days may elect to
continue the Partnership and if they so elect shall also elect one of the Limited
Partners (with his or her approval) to serve as the Managing General Partner and
shall designate all or a portion of that Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest that
shall be converted from a limited Partnership Interest into a general Partnership
Interest. Absent such election to continue the Partnership, it shall be dissolved as
provided below.
7.2.3 Upon the death of a Limited Partner (the “Deceased Limited
Partner”), if the consent required by Article 7.1 is given, the estate or successor of
the Deceased Limited Partner shall have the rights provided for in the Act.
7.2.4 For purposes of Article 7.1 and this Article 7.2, bankruptcy or mental
incompetence of a Partner shall be treated as if the Partner had died.
7.2.5 For purposes of this Agreement (i) “bankruptcy” includes the events
enumerated in Sec. 4.02(a)(4)(A), (B), (C), (D), (E) and (F) of the Act; and
(ii) “mental incompetence” shall be deemed to exist upon certification by two
medical doctors (neither of whom is a Partner) affirming that each has examined
the patient (Partner) and that the patient is unable to discharge his duties and/or
powers under the Partnership Agreement.
7.3 Partnership Property. All real, personal, or mixed property, including all
improvements thereto or placed or located thereon, acquired by the Partnership shall be
owned by the Partnership, such ownership being subject to the other terms and
provisions of this Agreement. In accordance with the provisions of Article 12.13 hereof,
each Partner hereby expressly waives the right, if any, to require partition of any
Partnership property or any part thereof. The rights of a judgment creditor of a Partner
in Partnership Assets or property and/or in such Partner’s Partnership Interest shall be
limited exclusively to those rights provided in Section 7.03(a) of the Act.
7.4 Prohibition Against Admission of Additional Partners. No additional
General or Limited Partners shall be admitted to the Partnership except upon the written
consent of all Partners and the written agreement by the proposed incoming partner to
be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. In no event shall anyone become a
Partner except upon compliance with the Act and all other applicable state and federal
-11-
laws (the satisfaction of which may be met by the provision, by the proposed incoming Partner, of a
favorable opinion of counsel acceptable to the Partnership), including, but not limited to, the
filing of an appropriate amended certificate of limited partnership with the Secretary of State of
the State of Texas, if necessary.
7.5 Prohibition Against Withdrawal of Limited Partner. A Limited Partner may
not withdraw from the Partnership.

withdraw from the Partnership. Unless otherwise provided in this Article 7, if there is an
Event of Withdrawal of a General Partner as provided in Section 4.02 of the Act and there
remains at least one General Partner, the Partnership need not be dissolved and wound
up but the partnership business may be carried on as if such General Partner
experiencing such Event of Withdrawal had died, as provided for above.
7.7 Acquisition of an Interest Conveyed Without Authority. If any Person
becomes a purported assignee of a Partnership Interest, except as permitted in this
Agreement, the Partnership will have the unilateral option to acquire all or any part of the
interest of the transferee or assignee upon the following terms and conditions:
7.7.1 The Partnership will have the option to acquire the interest by
giving written notice to the transferee or assignee of its intent to purchase within
thirty (30) days from the date of the purported transfer.
7.7.2 The valuation date for the determination of the purchase price
of the interest will be the first day of the month in which the purported transfer
occurs. Unless the Partnership and the transferee or assignee agree otherwise,
the purchase price for the interest to be acquired shall be its fair market value as
determined by an Appraisal.
7.7.3 Closing of the sale will occur at the principal office of the
Partnership on the first Tuesday of the month following the month in which the
Appraisal is rendered. The sale shall be effective as of the first day of the month
in which the purported transfer occurred.
7.7.4 In order to reduce the burden upon the resources of the
Partnership, the Partnership will have the option, to be exercised in writing
delivered at closing, to pay its purchase money obligation in fifteen (15) equal
annual installments (or the remaining term of the Partnership if less than fifteen (15)
years), plus interest at the base commercial interest rate as announced or
published by NationsBank of Texas, Dallas, Texas, or its successor, plus one
percent per annum, adjusted annually on the date of each payment. The first
installment of principal, plus interest, will be due and payable on the first day of
the calendar year following closing, and subsequent annual installments, with accrued
interest, will be due and payable on the first day of each succeeding calendar year
until the entire amount of the obligation is paid. The Partnership will have the right
-12-
to prepay all or any part of the purchase money obligation at any time without penalty.
7.7.5 With the consent of a majority-in-interest of the Partners other
than the Partner whose interest is to be acquired, the Managing General Partner
may assign the Partnership’s option to purchase to one or more of the remaining
Partners and, when done, any rights or obligations imposed upon the Partnership
will instead become, by substitution, the rights and obligations of the Partners who
are assignees.
7.7.6 Neither the transferee or assignee of an unauthorized transfer
or assignment or the Partner causing the transfer or assignment will have the right
to vote on Partnership matters during the prescribed option period or, if the option
is timely exercised, until the sale is closed.

designated the Tax Matters Partner for federal income tax purposes.
ARTICLE 9
ALLOCATION OF PROFIT AND LOSS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
9.1. Allocation of Gross Income, Profit and Loss. For each fiscal year or other
period, profit and loss shall be allocated to the Partners in proportion to their respective
Partnership Interests.
9.2. Allocation of Federal Income Tax Items Under Code Section 704(c). In
accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder,
depreciation, amortization, income, gain and loss, as determined for tax purposes, with
respect to any Partnership Property whose fair market value differs from its adjusted basis
for federal income tax purposes at the time of contribution to the Partnership shall, for tax
purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation
between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax
purposes and its fair market value. Any elections or other decisions relating to such
allocations shall be made for the Partnership by the General Partner in any manner that
reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to
this Article 9.2 shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any
Partner’s Capital Account balance, allowable share of income, gain, loss, deduction, or
credit pursuant to Article 9.1, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
9.3 Distributions From Operations. After the Managing General Partner has
established such reserves as it deems necessary for the payment of anticipated expenses
or obligations of the Partnership, for working capital requirements, and/or for the
reasonable needs or anticipated needs of the Partnership’s business, the Managing
General Partner may either distribute the remaining net income from operations, if any,
or any portion thereof, to the Partners in accordance with Partnership Interests or retain
all or any part thereof in the Partnership. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Managing
General Partner shall, in the absence of compelling reasons to the contrary, distribute to
the Partners in accordance with Partnership Interests a sufficient amount of available
cash, if any, as will enable each Partner to pay any federal and state income taxes
attributable to the inclusion of any items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, or
credit in calculating the Partner’s taxable income.
9.4 Distribution of Cash From the Sale of All of the Partnership Assets. Upon
the sale, exchange, and/or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Partnership
Assets and liquidation of the Partnership (if approved by the General Partner and all of
the Limited Partners), and after satisfaction of the Partnership debts and obligations
(other than Optional Loans) and the expenses of winding up and liquidating the
Partnership, the remaining proceeds from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of the
Partnership Assets shall be distributed, in cash or in kind, or both, at the sole discretion
of the General Partner, to the Partners as follows:
-14-
9.4.1 First, to the payment of any outstanding Optional Loans, plus any
accrued unpaid interest thereon, with payment ratably based upon the amount of
such loans in proportion to the total of all such loans;
9.4.2 Thereafter, to the Partners in accordance with their positive Capital
Account balances, as determined after giving effect to all distributions and all
allocations under Article 9.1 of this Agreement for all prior periods, including the
period during which such liquidation occurs, in accordance with Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2), to the extent of such balances; and
9.4.3 Thereafter, to the Partners in accordance with their respective
Partnership Interests.
9.5 Negative Capital Accounts. In the event that a Partner’s Capital Account,
as adjusted pursuant to Article 9.4.2 hereof, is less than zero, such Partner shall, not later
than the completion of the Partnership’s liquidation process, contribute to the capital of
the Partnership the amount necessary to restore his Capital Account to zero, and the
amount so contributed shall be treated as proceeds from the liquidation of Partnership
Assets for purposes of, and shall be distributed pursuant to, Article 9.4 hereof.
9.6 Liquidation. The Partnership shall not be liquidated, nor shall Partnership
assets be distributed in a liquidation or partial liquidation without the written consent of the General Partner and all of the Limited Partners.

its fair market value, as determined by such independent appraiser as the Managing General Partner
may authorize, and any gain or loss from such deemed sale shall be included (solely for capital
account purposes and not for tax purposes) in Partnership profit or loss for the fiscal period.

such deemed sale.

any Partner entitled to any interest in such assets shall, when appropriate or
necessary, receive such interest therein as a tenant in common with all other
Partners so entitled. The fair market value of such assets shall be determined by
an independent appraiser to be selected by the Managing General Partner or
other General Partner or the liquidating trustee, as the case may be.
10.2.3. Distributions Upon Liquidation. All distributions upon
liquidation of the Partnership shall be made in accordance with Article 9.4 hereof.

-16-
and all other documents required to effectuate the dissolution and termination of the
Partnership.
ARTICLE 11
LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF A PARTNER
11.1 Exoneration and Indemnification of General Partner. Each General Partner,
his Affiliates and their respective members, managers, employees, agents, independent
contractors, and attorneys shall have no liability to the Partnership or any Limited Partner
or assignee for any loss suffered by the Partnership which arises out of any action or
inaction of such General Partner or its Affiliates, if such General Partner or its Affiliates
(i) acted in good faith; (ii) reasonably believed (a) in the case of the conduct of such
General Partner acting in its official capacity as a general partner of the Partnership, that
the General Partner’s conduct was in the best interest of the Partnership and (b) in all
other cases, that the General Partner’s conduct was at least not opposed to the best
interest of the Partnership; and (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe that the General Partner’s conduct was unlawful.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership or its receiver or trustee shall, to
the extent of Partnership Assets, indemnify, save harmless, and pay all judgments and claims
against each General Partner, its Affiliates, and their respective employees, agents, members,
managers, independent contractors, and attorneys from and against any losses, judgments,
liabilities, expenses, and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained by them in connection
with the activities of the Partnership or in dealing with third parties on behalf of the
Partnership, including costs and attorneys’ fees (which attorneys’ fees may be paid as incurred if
such action relates to the performance of duties or services by the General Partner or its
Affiliates to the Partnership and is initiated by a third party who is not a Partner; provided,
however, that such General Partner or its Affiliates provide an undertaking to repay any funds
advanced for payment of costs or attorneys’ fees if a court of competent jurisdiction determines
that such indemnification is inappropriate). The Partnership may purchase and pay for any fidelity
bond or for such types of insurance, including officers and directors liability coverage extended
coverage liability and casualty and worker’s compensation, as would be customary for any person
owning comparable property and engaged in a similar business. In addition, each General Partner,
any Affiliate of a General Partner, and their respective employees, agents, independent
contractors, and attorneys may be named as additional insured parties on policies obtained for the
benefit of the Partnership.
11.2 Indemnification of Limited Partners. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
the Partnership will indemnify, to the extent of Partnership assets, each Limited Partner
against any claim of liability asserted against a Limited Partner solely because he is a
Limited Partner of the Partnership.
-17-
11.3 No Personal Liability. No Partner will be personally liable for the return of
the Capital Account, if any, of the Limited Partners, or any portion thereof, it being expressly
understood that any such return will be made solely from Partnership Assets.
